Human Rights Support Ethiopian Political Prisoner Daniel Bekele
free 'em all | Dear friends, Tell our troops to stop fighting this war. They can and should refuse.

Our troops are guilty of fighting this, unjust needless war of aggression for oil and corporate war profits (I will not say for the Israel lobby inside and outside our Federal Government, because that would be politically incorrect to say). THe troops should be criticized for fightng this war and held accountable. Their excuse that "we were only following orders" is the same worthless excuse used by Hitler's nazi army after it was defeated in world war 2 (the war of the ultra-capitalist rivals). more... 1 Comments MAD BOMBER MELVILLE book release 7 p.m. Friday @ Bluestockings Theresa Baker | Former Spokesperson for the Earth Liberation Front publishes book on revolutionary Vietnam War-era bombings in Manhattan and Attica Prison uprising.
