The Afghan community, American war veterans, the Occupy movement and their allies will hold a non-violent, direct action demonstration in Fremont this Friday at the Armed Forces Recruiting Station. This action is in response to this month’s massacre of 17 Afghan civilians in Kandahar Province by U.S. military personnel.
These concerned demonstrators will be protesting against:
- The March 11 massacre in Kandahar, along with all other atrocities related to this war.
- U.S. military recruitment of poor and marginalized US citizens and residents.
- The “U.S./Afghan Strategic Partnership Agreement” which would extend the U.S. military occupation of Afghanistan into 2024.
Afghans and US war veterans said in a joint statement earlier this week: “We’re outraged--not only about this latest atrocity--but by the drone attacks, the night raids, the “kill teams” murdering for sport and collecting body parts as trophies, the urinating on dead Afghan bodies while filming it, the burning of Qurans... We also need to stand in solidarity with economically disenfranchised youth of color who are targeted by the military recruiters and end up joining the military as their only way out of systematic oppression at home.”

Don't you love this class deformed, Empire deformed language promoted by the WAR CRIMINAL, OBAMA, the fascist democratic party,
partnering with fascist Republicans, and Fascist NATO/Israeli War criminals in promoting the global Empire, global Fascist Matrix.
The failure to call monopoly, totalitarian alliances between the class state, "big government", and corporations, including military
contractors, FASCISM is testament to the Western propaganda which always denied the connection between Fascism, NAZI GERMANY,
to Western capitalist monopolist class thugs. Cenk Uyguar of CURRENTS defines the relationship of Fascism as I have just
described and asks the host, if she knew what he was defining. She was clueless, but when POLICE AND MILITARY institutions
serve totalitarian, monopoly, Empire criminality, that FASCISM, along with the POLICE BRUTALITY becomes what it should be called,
NAMELY POLICE, EMPIRE FASCISM, WESTERN FASCISM under the aegis of two corporate, criminal class parties, democratic
and republican class/empire fascist politicians:

excerpt:
Cenk: “No cops ever get punished, no mayors ever get punished. If you go out there to exercise your First Amendment rights, should you expect an ass-kicking by your own police that you paid for?”
Here is a video of a protestor SHAMING the police and their POLICE FASCISM:

excerpt:
"
George Akerlof, Nobel Laureate in Economics (2001), and Paul Romer wrote the definitive economics article on financial fraud in 1993 (“Looting: the Economic Underworld of Bankruptcy for Profit”). They ended it with the following to emphasize a profound policy message.
But economists, as a group, proved that they did not “know better” and that their problem was not that they were “unaware of the concept” of looting “control frauds” (frauds led by the leaders of seemingly legitimate entities). Economists, overwhelmingly, have ignored a Nobel Laureate in economics, white-collar criminologists, and experts on public administration and regulation. They have compounded their mistakes and they have dominated financial policy in the U.S. and Europe – the epicenters of the crises....."
WESTERN FASCISM IS HERE AGAIN.
