we all need to stand up

iran, the next illegal war.

Great information, I think most people are aware, but are turning a blind eye. They like their comforts and being slaves to the elite. Fear is another factor, but little do they know there are more of us, than them. So I say " Now is the time, stand up and be heard" To all in the military, put your weapons down, to the police force, get with the program, to the religious regime, you are praying to the wrong God.

Powerful. But can I ask you. Are you claiming that the war in Iraq was legal? I just ask because of your quote at beginning about Hitler's shit being 'legal'?

I know that war in Iraq has broken the War Law!

[jperryam]

You're right. The invasion and occupation of Iraq are unquestionably illegal. I think David Swanson (who wrote the article that I read for this video) meant the use of that quote as an illustration of the similarities between the tactics of Hitler and Bush. Like getting entirely unconstitutional laws passed in an effort to "legitimize" his crimes. The entire Bush administration is a fraud from the word go, and they're being helped along by a Congress full of cowards.

The Time will come soon, when a truth's will be known, Forgive us all Lord, but we do know what we do.

Love Light and Peace, Colin.

"The Establishment cannot survive without the obedience and loyalty of millions of people who are given small rewards to keep the system going: the soldiers and police, teachers and ministers, administrators and social workers, technicians and production workers, doctors, lawyers, nurses, transport and communication workers, garbage men and firemen...

[eversincealways]

These people - the employed, the someway privileged - are drawn into alliance with the elite. They become the guards of the system, buffers between the upper and lower classes. If they stop obeying, the system fails...

[eversincealways]

That will happen, I think, only when all of us who are slightly privileged and slightly uneasy begin to see that we are like the guards in the prison uprising at Attica - expendable; that the Establishment, whatever rewards it gives us, will also, if necessary to maintain it's control, kill us"

Thank you for this!

[k6tpl]

There is Truth here! Very good work! For you my respect grows! Peace Jer

[jperryam]

Thanks Jer! David Swanson wrote the article. I only read it and added the pictures. I hope people can share the vid and check out the book. The people featured need to be recognized and appreciated for their tremedous work and sacrifices on our behalf.

One of the clearest signs that this administration has brought politicization to new heights is the unprecedented number of career bureaucrats who have left in last 7 yrs. People who had served under 4, 5 administrations couldn't weather this one. The overt transformation of the US attorneys into a politically-motivated hit squad is just the most frightening aspect of it. The permanent Republican majority means enforcing ideological rigor through all three branches, @ every level of govt.

Great post J. Two dissenters on my list of inspirational people were JFK and Paul Wellstone. How long is the list of disappeared going to grow before people realize they are next.

Human resources are expendable. It's like a forest with an infestation. Just burn it down and plant new ones. It only takes 20 years to grow a new crop.

These criminals have all the time and money in the world. They have been handing these plans down for generations while we hand down a life of servitude to our kids

[meehaull]

the american indians made all their important decisions with the seventh generation(140 years in the future) in mind.lets leave the children a legacy to be proud of?

[WindHarps]

Powerful and moving video. Thanks for the resend. I will check into the book link ~

[liamh2]

Bravo!

[desertjournalonline]

Excellent book review - makes me want to get it now. The small voices shall be heard and justice brought to restore our civil liberties and integrity in government.

[enjoythevoyage]

Oddsweb sent me your way!This is excellent! 5 intelligent stars!

[jperryam]

Thank you for the kind words. I would say David Swanson gets most of the credit, though. He wrote it! I just added my voice and the pics with a little background music. If you're not already familar with afterdowningstreet dot org, I would highly reccommend making it a regular stop. David co-founded the site and posts great pieces there all the time. It's a top notch information source too...

[enjoythevoyage]

I did check your website! I do wish that we could impeach Bush/Cheney! It is too late, I fear! Nancy Pelosi missed her chance!

[jperryam]

The idea that it would take months and months to impeach them is a popular misconception. It can actually be done in a day. There is a mountain of evidence that's all public knowledge and extensively documented. And Bush has not only publicly admitted to illegal warrantless wiretaps, which is a felony, but they're still doing it. The list goes on and on. Nancy is covering for them.

These are the true patriots.

Dissention is Patriotic (is a Right, is a Duty)....

great quotes

[SCODgreenhood]

Favorited, Playlisted, Shared! *****

[jperryam]

Right on SCOD! Thank you for passing it on!

These patriots need to know that we support them 100%. This will encourage the emergence of many more just like them, and many more regular folk to stand up and speak out for their country. I hope everyone that sees this shares it. The link to buy the book is up in the video info...

To stand up against your own machine takes real courage.
