$33 Billion to Escalate a Quagmire
In the coming weeks, Congress will vote on spending $33 billion of your money to send another 30,000 troops, plus many more contractors, to Afghanistan.
We are inflicting horrible suffering on the people of Afghanistan, making our own nation less safe, and spending resources we badly need.
Tell congress members we need them to publicly commit to voting No, and to urge their colleagues to do the same. Call your Representative at (202) 224-3121.
Here's a whip list tracking who has already committed to voting No and to publicly lobbying their colleagues to join them:

Congressman Bill Delahunt is holding a public forum on the question of war funding this Sunday in Falmouth, Mass. The public is encouraged to attend.
David Swanson's prepared remarks for the forum offer a detailed argument for voting No on the $33 billion.
On tax day, let people know where their tax dollars will be going. Here are some resources:
And plan ahead for Brown Bag Vigils all over the country on April 21st!

Stay warm this winter in a black hooded sweatshirt. Order one. Order them by the dozen and donate them to occupations!
So all the crimes, criminal policies, that wimpy, clueless, inconsistent,appeasing liberal stubborness, dogmatic ideological thugs, objected to, regarding Bush and his fascist class and imperial thugs, have now been airbrushed, re introduced, reconstructed, as "better republican" corporate and imperial fascism.........
BECAUSE THESE IDIOTS WILL NOT ADMIT THE CLASS LINK, IMPERIAL LINK, DEFORMED LINK THAT exists in both corporate, class parties, their support for class principles over social demands, their class nationalism, imperialism, post colonialism over international laws IS THE ESSENCE OF THE FAILURE OF THESE CORRUPT CRIMINAL AND IDEOLOGICAL ALLIANCES between conservative class thugs and liberal appeasing, fascist, and class whores.
The concept that better social parameters exist outside these two narrow class ideologies, is AUTOMATICALLY REJECTED, NOT EVEN CONSIDERED, BY SHEER IGNORANCE........BY LIBERAL STUBBORN ASSES. The combination of stubborn dogma, itself a product of historical ignorance, how these two crippled, restricting, deformed ideologies, came into being to defend property rights, even if its means slavery, and Fascism.......by BOTH CRIMINAL PARTIES:
Olbermann on Obama's Assassination Program
http://www.commondreams.org/view/2010/04/09-4
EXCERPT:
"Here again, we see one of the principal and longest-lasting effects of the Obama presidency: to put a pretty, eloquent, progressive face on what (until quite recently) was ostensibly considered by a large segment of the citizenry to be tyrannical right-wing extremism (e.g., indefinite detention, military commissions, "state secrets" used to block judicial review, an endless and always-expanding "War on Terror," immunity for war criminals, rampant corporatism -- and now unchecked presidential assassinations of American citizens), and thus to transform what were once bitter, partisan controversies into harmonious, bipartisan consensus..."
Why does your site continue to ignore the overwhelming credible evidence that 9/11 is a lie?
You no doubt want to see the wars come to an end, and yet consistently fail to question the sole justification. I don't understand. Do you really believe that those questioning 9/11 are "conspiracy kooks?"
1,168 licensed architects and engineers say the official explanation is a lie, citing numerous physics-based reasons. Their findings have not been refuted by the government. http://www.ae911truth.org/
Nine international scientists positively identified explosives in the dust!! Their study was peer-reviewed AND published in a US scientific journal. It has not been refuted by the government.
Do you really trust your government enough to swallow their explanation?
9/11 coverups have showed up many times in different stories, like the secret torture of detainees, kept from the commission......It is clear to both the right and left, that the two party corporate system is involved in "DAMAGE CONTROL".......THEIR LIES AND CRIMINALITY ARE DISCREDITING BOTH CONSERVATIVE,LIBERAL CLASS ELITES........it is only a matter of cumulative crimes surfacing that finally does in both corporate, nazi, class parties, one appeasing, the other celebrating.
There definitely needs to be another 9/11 investigation, because there are too many lies, too many contradictions.
Heavy stuff.....Andrew is a thinking military man......AND HE EXPOSES THE ROT AND CRIMINALITY OF BOTH OBAMA AND BUSH, and his own military services.........who are BASICALLY "GOOD GERMAN,BLIND NAZIS", CLUELESS FASCIST, CRIMINAL MILITARY SHITS.
THE MEDIOCRITY OF OUR LEADERS, AND OBAMA, IS A WELL SPOKEN MEDIOCRITY.........IS CAUGHT UP IN THE CLASS AND IMPERIAL DOGMA, OF BOTH CRIMINAL PARTIES. ESSENTIALLY BOTH CLASS AND IMPERIAL PARTIES ARE NOT ONLY IDEOLOGICALLY MEDIOCRE, BUT CRIMINAL TO BOOT.....SIEG HEIL
The class and imperial rot is everywhere,PROPAGANDA, linked to both liberal classs whores, and class thugs:
Behind the Afghan Fraud
http://www.commondreams.org/view/2010/04/09
EXCERPT:
"All frauds have a purpose, mostly to relieve the unwary of their wealth, though occasionally to launch some foreign adventure. The 1965 Tonkin Gulf hoax that escalated the Vietnam War comes to mind.
So, what was the design behind "Operation Moshtarak," or the "Battle of Marjah," in Afghanistan's Helmand Province, the largest U.S. and NATO military operation in Afghanistan since the 2003 invasion?
Marjah was billed as a "fortress," a "city of 80,000" and the Taliban's "stronghold," packed with as many as 1,000 "hard-core fighters." But as Gareth Porter of the Inter Press Service revealed, Marjah isn't even a city, but a district of scattered villages. As the days went by — and civilian deaths passed military casualties...."
SIEG HEIL LIBERAL APPEASING CLASS/IMPERIAL, FASCIST APPEASING NAZIS.....AND CELEBRATORY FASCIST REPUBLICAN NAZI THUGS....WHO SUPPORT OBAMA'S FASCISM..........F****CK, BOTH CRIMINAL, CORRUPT, CLASS PARTIES.
A criminal appeasing liberal whoring President,Obama, is just as fascist, as the Republican Nazis. A President who does not prosecute War criminals, criminal soliders, becomes complicit in this COVER UP, FASCISM:
SIEG HEIL OBAMA.,......
The Cover-Ups That Exploded
http://www.counterpunch.org/cockburn04092010.html
AND THE WHORING CORRUPT PROFESSIONAL, DEFORMED, MIDDLE CLASS, SERVILE CLASS, APPEASING CLASS.....AND ERIC HOLDER OF THE INJUSTICE DEPT. IS JUST AS GUILTY OF FAILING TO UPHOLD THE RULE OF LAWS, AND CONSTITUTIONS......TWO BLACK FACES, WHORING FACES FOR EMPIRE, FASCISM:
IT IS CALLED EQUAL OPPORTUNITY CLASS WHORING, CLASS CORRUPTION, CRIMINAL CORRUPTION, WHETHER IT IS HILLARY SIEG HEILING FASCIST JUNTAS IN HONDURAS, OR OR OBAMA AND ERIC HOLDER SIEG HEILING FASCISM FOR WAR CRIMES.........PROSECUTE THESE WHORING DEFORMED MIDDLE CLASS WHORES.
DonP We have tried to change the policy by contacting our elected politicians how many ties since Mar 03? Stop and look at what has happened in this country since 03. With the compliance of Congress the economy has been looted. Approximately 28 trillion dollars of our money has been given to the rich. 33 billion is less than Congress pisses away before lunch. Talk will not effect change.Trying to get voters interested in changing representatives will not work. Voters in the U.S. are stupid, ignorant, apathetic, smug,jingoistic, ego and ethnocentric and these are their good points. We involved in this protest need to be reminded of one definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. The time has come for all of us who hope for change to admit "We Are Insane"
Agree, appealing to the corrupt class politicians, corrupt class parties, corrupt class ideologies is "INSANE", as it automatically defeats our social power, for their class power, because we are too stupid to move away from either the Liberal class whores, or Conservtive class thugs.
WE NEED SOCIAL PARTIES, SOCIAL AGENDAS, SOCIAL IDEOLOGIES, AND SOCIAL ALLIANCES......BACKED BY INTERNATIONAL STRIKES AND WORKERS/MIDDLE CLASS UNITY.
About that OTHER Quagmire WE THE PEOPLE have been funding for decades . . .
. . . funny how they all seem to tie together . . . ;-)
(clipped headline and article from Yahoo News)
"Israel viewed as world's sixth nuclear power: analysts - LONDON (AFP) – Israel, whose prime minister withdrew Friday from next week's US-hosted nuclear summit, is viewed as the sixth country to have acquired nuclear weapons -- a title it has neither denied nor confirmed.
Analysts at British defence specialists Jane's believe the Jewish state has between 100 and 300 nuclear warheads, putting them among the more advanced nuclear weapons states and roughly on a par with Britain."

According to the 1976 Symmington Amendment, all those BILLIONS of US TAX DOLLARS sent to Israel have been blatantly ILLEGAL . . .

Now, we all know by now that Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin "Cast Lead Genocide" Netanyahu did an abrupt "opt out" on Obama's Nuclear Summit . . .

. . . . under the story that he was "ducking" Muslim Country pressure over Israel's illegal nukes.
Well, let's think about that . . . anyone with a brain knows that Israel has had nukes for a LONG time and this point of contention between Israel and their neighbors is nothing new . . .
. . . therefore, to this ol' fool from North Cackilacki, this abrupt change of Bibi's schedule being blamed on an old argument doesn't make sense . . . so I did a little diggin' . . . ;-)
Funny how any time you start digging about Israel these days . . . you ALWAYS seem to end up at 9-11 TRUTH . . ;-)
(clipped headline and article from Christopher Bollyn)
"Fearing 9-11 Protests Netanyahu Cancels U.S. Visit Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has abruptly cancelled his trip to Washington, planned for next Monday and Tuesday to attend a conference on the spread of nuclear weapons.
The Jerusalem Post writes that Netanyahu had suddenly cancelled his visit fearing Israel would be singled out over its own nuclear facilities. I don't think that is the real reason.
I have reason to believe that my calls for Americans to protest Israel's involvement in 9-11 played a role in his decision to stay away. The fact that the Arab and Muslim states are calling for action to be taken on Israel's illegal nuclear arsenal is certainly not unexpected nor is it news to anyone (least of all the Israelis) whereas my call for 9-11 activists to protest his visit and bring public and media attention to Israel's role in the atrocity is certainly a new factor.
Netanyahu does not want to face public protests raising questions about the Israeli false-flag terror of 9-11."

Now, that scenario makes a LOT of sense to this ol' fool considering that 9-11 TRUTH has gone "TRUTH VIRAL" in this Great Republic despite all the Zio-Media's attempts to kill the movement . . .

Like many in the 9-11 TRUTH Movement, I agree with Prime Minister "Bibi" . . .

. . . and like many in the PEACE AND JUSTICE MOVEMENT, I am pretty pissed off that WE THE PEOPLE continue to be milked dry to finance these ILLEGAL Wars and Occupations
that do not serve the best interests of this Constitutional Republic, but rather the "Greater Israel: A Clean Break" Agenda of a racist and genocidal pariah state.
Have you looked around the country lately, kidz? Do you think we could find some better use for $33 BILLION other than protecting the Khazar Mafia's Heroin Syndicate, building Dick Cheney's "Oil-Pipeline-To-Nowhere", and genociding yet another group of Israel's "Existential Threat" neighbors?
Looky, looky at what the Russians are doing without firing a shot! Just awesome Engineering and Civilized Diplomacy . . .

Meanwhile, we continue to spend OUR money on this quagmire of ILLEGAL War . . . because of . . . 9-11 . . .
9-11 justifies it all . . . just never question it . . . ;-)
Like I've always said, the key to PEACE is 9-11 TRUTH . . .
. . . the key to 9-11 TRUTH is WTC-7 . . .
. . . and once you start down the path to 9-11 TRUTH, it seems all roads lead to ZIONISM and ISRAEL . . .
. . . that Leviathan Quagmire in the desert where all our blood and treasure flow . .
