It suddenly dawned on me that I haven't posted any of my columns for the last three months or so. I'll post one a day for the next three days.

This one's for the folks who've been spanking the Sheehadis, whether at Walter Reed, Crawford or on the bus tours. You guys rock!

I write for a weekly that has no website at this time. They're well-established but have never felt the need for online content.

If we had a real government instead of this PC crap they call the government, They would ride up to Walter Reed one Friday night and arrest this whole stinking slimy pack of human dung and charge them with treason collaboration with and enemy aiding and abetting and anything else they coudl think of. It wont happen though, the dems would scream bloody murder and the republuicans havent got the balls.

The barking moonbats are among those who protest landmines but I have not heard them speaking out against these explosive devices. Ever. Even when they are remotedly detonated as school children pass by.

[IslamCity] Mobilize for Nov. 2: Drive out the Bush regime

Wolfgang Geist
Tue, 25 Oct 2005 16:46:44 -0700

The World Can't Wait - Drive Out the Bush Regime!

Mobilize for November 2nd

It's 12 days till November 2nd, the beginning of the end of the Bush Regime. From the Call: “November 2 must be a massive and public proclamation that WE REFUSE TO BE RULED IN THIS WAY. November 2 must call out to the tens of millions more who are now agonizing and disgusted. November 2 will be the beginning — a giant first step in forcing Bush to step down, and a powerful announcement that we will not stop until he does so -- and it will join with and give support and heart to people all over the globe who so urgently need and want this regime to be stopped.”

New national developments in this movement:

1. Howard Zinn calls on students to join in - "November 2nd could be a turning point..." Listen to his statement at www.worldcantwait.org/media

2. New statement from the Black Law Students Association at Columbia University at www.worldcantwait.org/youthandstudents

3. Students at West Point military academy were ordered, by email, not to participate in actions on November 2nd.

4. The International Commission of Inquiry On Crimes Against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration opens Friday in NYC. More info: www.bushcommission.org

5. Recent endorsers of the World Can't Wait Call include Cindy Sheehan, After Downing Street Coalition, Tom Morello, Code Pink, Ron Kovic, Cornel West, Howard Zinn...you can see the whole list and endorse the Call at www.worldcantwait.org

6. The encampment in front of the White House continues: http://encampmenttodriveout.blogspot.com

7. Ads on Air America have generated a tremendous response, but much money is needed to pay for these as well as plans to get ads on Hip Hop radio stations, as well as TV ads on Comedy Central's The Daily Show and Chappelle's Show. How much would you give to drive out the Bush Regime? Donate now and get everyone you know to at www.worldcantwait.org

Not in Our Name project.

Not in Our Name are SDS.

They are SDS/Weatherman.

From FBI Files:

Weatherman or Weather Underground Organization, is a "revolutionary organization of communist men and women" formed by members of the Students for a Democratic Society or SDS. They were originally called the Revolutionary Youth Movement. They advocated the overthrow of our government and capitalism. They carried out a campaign of bombings, jailbreaks, and riots in 1969-1976.

The group derived their name from Bob Dylan's song lyrics from "Subterranean Homesick Blues", which were, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows", I use to see that quote at the bottom of their periodical, New Left Notes, when I use to work at a periodical distribution company.

Their first event, in 1969, was the "Days of Rage" in Chicago. They blew up a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot. They announced at a convention that they supported Charles Manson. The rally failed to draw as many participants (300) as they had hoped. They did lead a riot through Chicago's business district, smashing windows and cars. 6 were shot and 70 arrested. The conflict went on for a few days.

1970, after the shooting by police of Black Panther Fred Hampton, the group issued a Declaration of War against the United States government, changing its name to the "weather underground organization", adopting fake IDs, and pursuing covert activities only. These initially included plans for a bombing of a US military noncommissioned officers' dance at Fort Dix. But when three Underground members died in an accidental explosion while preparing the bomb in a Greenwich Village, New York City safe house, other cells re-evaluated their plans and decided to pursue only non-lethal projects.

This group released a number of manifestos and declarations, while conducting a series of bombings. These attacked the U.S. Capitol, The Pentagon, police and prison buildings, and the rebuilt Haymarket statue again, among other targets. The group took measures to avoid any loss of life as a result of these bombings, issuing warnings to evacuate the building ahead of time via phone. They also took a $25,000 payment from a drugs group called The Brotherhood of Eternal Love to break LSD advocate Timothy Leary out of prison, transporting him to Algeria. They remained largely successful at avoiding the police and the FBI.

In the mid-to-late 1970s, the group began dissolving, as many members turned themselves in to the police, and others moved onto other armed revolutionary groups. Very few served prison sentences, since the evidence gathered against them, by the FBI's COINTELPRO program, was inadmissable in court, due to the illegal methods used to obtain it.

Famous members of the Weather Underground include Kathy Boudin, Mark Rudd, Terry Robbins, David Gilbert, and the still-married couple Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers.

Many former Weathermen have re-integrated into society, without necessarily repudiating their original intent. Bill Ayers, now a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, said in a September 11, 2001 New York Times profile "I don't regret setting bombs. I believe we didn't do enough."

SDS and Vietnam:

In the spring of 1992, he wrote a story about Clinton's conscience - wrestling about the draft while at Oxford. Theses stories by Talbott were big lies. Clinton rewarded Talbott by making him the number two person at the State Department. Sidney Blumenthal - The top White House spin master is a long time friend of the Clintons. Blumenthal is a former member of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).

Look here, from From “Mutiny Does Not Happen Lightly: The Literature of the American Resistance to the Vietnam War”

The game of the rich has caught up to Pig America. The Vietnamese have kicked ass out of U.S. occupational troops. More and more G.I.’s will no longer listen to Pig Nixon’s orders and are turning their guns around on the real enemy. The Provisional Revolutionary Government in Vietnam (Viet Cong) has led the Vietnamese people to complete victory.

–Roxboro School SDS- Cleveland Heights – June 4, 1972

Recently many articles have appeared in the movement press expounding the virtues of deserting and going AWOL. “Come to Canada and be a man.” “Soldiers are pigs,” “To remain in the imperialist U.S. Army rather than leaving is comparable to being a Nazi.” Last year there were, by Pentagon counts,, 250,000 AWOL’s and over 53,000 deserters. This has not made much of a dent in the fighting strength of the U.S.Army. That dent has clearly come from the heroic struggle of the Vietnamese people under the leadership of the NLF and the Provisional Revolutionary Government.

–New York Regional SDS distributed at Boston University - Feb. 22, 1969

Students for a Democratic Society = SDS

Not In Our Name:

From the “Mutiny Does Not Happen Lightly: The Literature of the American Resistance to the Vietnam War”

Look at the major leaders of the anti-war movement:

· Al Hubbard - Vietnam Veterans Against the War - signed the People’s Peace Treaty of 1971

· Jane Fonda - actress - signed the People’s Peace Treaty of 1971

· Noam Chomsky, MIT

· Rev. William Sloan Coffin, Jr. Yale

· Rennie Davis, May Day Collective

· Rev. Daniel Berrigan,S.J.

· Dave Dellinger, People’s Coalition for Peace and Justice

· Daniel Ellsberg - MIT

· Richard Falk - Princeton

· Tom Hayden - Berkeley

· Abbie Hoffman - WPAX, NewYork

· Sidney Peck - People’s Coalition for Peace and justice

· Bobby Seale- Black Panther Party

· Benjamin Spock, doctor

· Gloria Steinem - author

· George Wald, biologist, Havard

· Cora Weiss - Women Strike for Peace

Many of the people who signed the various documents in “Mutiny Does Not Happen Lightly: The Literature of the American Resistance to the Vietnam War” appeared again as signers of the “Not In Our Name” ad that appeared in papers all over the country, denouncing Bush and the wars on terrorism and Iraq.

Good work neighbor.

I'm about 25 miles east of Freeport in Rockford and next time I'm visiting in the bustling metropolis of Riddot (where my daughter lives) I shall stop in Freeport and pick up a copy of the Ink.
