Leslie Angeline FAST Update

Today is the 21st day of Leslie’s Hungry for Justice? Impeach him FAST! to pressure Congressman John Conyers and the House Judiciary Committee to begin impeachment proceedings against Vice President Dick Cheney. 400 people from Vancouver, Washington to Kennebunkport, Maine, have joined the fast, with more signing on every day.

Unfortunately, Leslie’s not feeling well. Last summer she was taken to the hospital for dehydration during her Lieberman fast and at the time she promised her son she would end her fasts before jeopardizing her health. We don’t want to lose the momentum established over these past three weeks, so we’re asking for your help. She would like to ceremoniously break bread in Congressman Conyers’ office to end her fast and then pass on the leadership role to a successor.

Video: David Earnhardt in Charlottesville, Va

On Thursday, February 21st, David Earnhardt, the writer, director, and producer of the best film yet released on election fraud, “Uncounted,” showed the film and spoke about it in Charlottesville, Va., at an event hosted by the Charlottesville Center for Peace and Justice (CCPJ). The week of the event, Charlottesville’s daily newspaper and its two weekly newspapers wrote about the movie and the issue of election fraud: Daily Progress, The Hook, and C’ville Weekly.

CCPJ recorded a 50-minute video that includes Earnhardt’s opening remarks prior to the screening of the film, and his remarks and question-and-answer session at the end. During the Q&A, Earnhardt is joined on stage by CCPJ board member David Swanson.

Hip-Hop for Palestine

The culmination of Palestine Week at UNC wasn’t a keynote address by a renowned politician and wasn’t a lecture by a tenured professor in the history department. It wasn’t even a vigil marked by a candlelit Polk Place.

But the event’s organizers and performers would argue “Hip-Hop for Palestine,” a concert that took place Saturday night in the Great Hall, was perhaps the best way to tie the week’s events together.

The last performer, Kevin James, aka Son of Nun, was perhaps the most effective in ensuring the continuation of discussions about the occupation of Palestine and the United States’ role therein.

James stood in the middle of the crowd for his entire set, rapping about issues including the execution of Stanley “Tookie” Williams, founder of the Crips gang, and Hurricane Katrina, in addition to the situation in Palestine.

And James said he thinks both Saturday’s show and the week as a whole were effective in encouraging further discussion of the role of U.S. foreign policy in Palestine .

“From what I’ve heard about the week this far, it’s resulted in people taking sides on Palestinian issues,” he said. “People are learning what their opinions should be because they’ve seen these issues addressed in this way.”

Exopolitics Comes of Age

What is Exopolitics?

There are a couple of closely related definitions, from two different but related websites:

Exopolitics is the study of the key individuals, institutions and political processes associated with extraterrrestrial life.” from Dr. Michael Salla’s website, http://www.exopolitics.org/ .

The science of relations between our Earth and advanced, intelligent civilizations in the Universe.” from Alfred Webre’s website, http://www.exopoliticsradio.com/home.html .

As defined above, we see that exopolitics seeks to research and explore the realm of extraterrestrial life as it relates to humanity, politically, socially, culturally and very likely, economically. I recommend anyone finding this article interesting spend some time looking over information on those websites.

Exopolitics does not seek an answer to the question, “Are we alone?” To this field of study that question has been answered satisfactorily many times over by the countless reports of sightings, abductions, and contacts, including highly credible ex-military and ex-government civilian employees who have come forward to give testimony on their experiences not only with “UFO” sightings, but with extraterrestrial technology and extraterrestrials themselves. Dr. Steven Greer of the Disclosure Project (www.disclosureproject.org) has carefully recorded, on video and in print, expert testimony from over 400 witnesses to this extraterrestrial technology and contact.

Aiden Delgado speaks to University of Cincinnati students

University of Cincinnati students were given an opportunity to hear first-hand accounts of abuses carried out by U.S. forces in Iraq during Truth, Lies and Torture: Stories from Iraq. The event took place Jan. 24 in the Great Hall of Tangeman University Center.

Three speakers protesting the Iraq war, Fedaa Jasim, an Iraqi-American, Aidan Delgado, an Iraq War veteran and Marty Webster, national coordinator of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, shared stories of abuse and voiced their opinions of the current situation in Iraq.

Aidan Delgado, honorably discharged from the U.S. Army as a conscientious objector, shared his story of time spent in Iraq as a soldier.

“The war had a corrupting effect on me and the members in my unit,” Delgado said.

Delgado witnessed Abu Ghraib detainees being abused.

In one instance, prisoners were chanting and demonstrating against the living conditions within the camps. The guards panicked and opened fire with rubber bullets immediately killing three prisoners, Delgado said.

The prisoners were living in utter squalor and filth, with freezing conditions and not enough clothes or blankets. The sick and dying prisoners were served “decaying food infested with maggots,” Delgado said.

“If only Americans could see, they would never tolerate this,” Delgado said.

Delgado projected pictures ranging from lone limbs to his sergeant holding a skull to get his message across.

“I felt the fighting spirit bleed out of me,” Delgado said. “[I remember thinking] we’re exactly the same.”

Abuse was not the only thing Delgado highlighted.

“There are also many things to be proud of, we gave supplies and rations to the Iraqis and there was charity within the units,” Delgado said.

Delgado, Jasim and Webster all agree the situation in Iraq is not being portrayed in full scope.
