Obama and the ElectionsQ:
Is Barack Obama the “anti-war candidate?”
A:
Depends on which war you’re talking about.
*Barack
Obama has repeatedly threatened military action against Iran, and
refused to rule out using nuclear weapons. Think about that for a
second: refused to rule out dropping nuclear weapons on civilians.
In a June 2008 speech before the American Israeli Public Affairs
Committee (AIPAC), he said: “I will do everything in my power
to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Everything in my
power to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Everything.” read more

 A crowd of jubilant and angry youth estimated by the police to number
6,000 ripped through the streets of Denver on Wednesday, August 27, in
a powerful march demanding an end to the war in Iraq, no attack on
Iran, and support for GI resisters. Marching from the Denver Coliseum,
where Rage Against the Machine, the Flobots, and the Coup had just
finished a mind blowing concert, to the Pepsi Center in downtown
Denver, the youth filled the streets of an industrial district, a
residential area, and the canyons of downtown Denver with their chants
and songs: “They’re our brothers, they’re our sisters; we support the
war resisters”; “the people of Iraq are under attack – what do we do,
stand up, fight back!”; “Not a new face on a brutal empire, Revolution
is what we need, to liberate humanity!

For 4 days protests, marches, and confrontations have coursed through the streets of Denver. Hundreds of people have rallied to stop the murderous wars of the Bush Regime, to demand an end to torture, to oppose Christian fascists out to impose a theocracy on society. People have bitterly denounced Barack Obama and the Democratic Party leadership for being lock step partners in crime with all the atrocities committed by Bush, Cheney, and Co. Police have brutally attacked convergences of young people, arresting dozens, and using clubs, pepper spray, and tear gas on the youth. But the people have refused to back down, and the activities continue to percolate throughout the city - as does the debate over the way forward. Articles below provide some of the continuing coverage of these events.

Three Years After Katrina: While Republicans
and Democrats Gather and Celebrate, A City Still Searches for Recovery
By Jordan Flaherty
While much of the media focuses on conventions and running mates, the
third anniversary of Katrina offers an opportunity to examine the results
of disastrous federal, state and local policy on the people of New Orleans.
Several organizations have released powerful reports in the past week,
examining the current state of the city; while grassroots activists
have plans to broadcast their message from the streets. For those who
have heard only uplifting stories about the city's recovery, the facts
on the ground offer an urgent reminder of the ongoing disaster.

Standing at 16th St & Champa in Denver,
I looked straight ahead to see a band of Christofascists standing in
the middle of the street cordoned off by a group of police. The Christofascists
were holding signs that read, “Homo Sex is Sin”, “Repent the Wicked”,
“Real Americans Love Sean Hannity, O’Reilly, and Fox News”, and
one very long one that said, “Warning: Baby Killing, So-Called Christians,
Porno Freaks, Muslims, Drunks, Homosexuals, Party Animals, Rebellious
Women, Liberals, Jesus Mockers, Sex Addicts, Mormons---God Will Judge
You!” |

A Country at Peace...A country "at peace with being at
war" is a country of "Good Germans."
Seven
years of the Bush Regime have radically altered the shape of U.S. society
and locked in a global trajectory of wars for empire with no regard for human
cost or conscience.
The world
is shocked by the crimes and destruction the American people have allowed to be
carried out in our names. read more
