THIS JUST IN! THE LEADER TRIES TO CONTROL THE CULT!

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL-AID TABLE   AMERICA GOT A GOOD LOOK AT THE CULT OF ST. BARACK TODAY.    LUDACRIS DROPPED A MIX-TAPE WITH THE 'SONG' "POLITICS: OBAMA IS HERE" WHERE HE DISSED REV. JESSE JACKSON, SUGGESTED JOHN MCCAIN BELONGED IN A CHAIR IF HE WAS PARALYZED -- INCITING VIOLENCE ON MCCAIN? -- AND SAVED THAT FOUL, POTTY MOUTH OF HIS FOR HILLARY CLINTON WHOM HE CALLED A "BITCH."    50 CENT, REACHED FOR COMMENT, DECLARED, "ALL THAT TALK ABOUT 'BARACK'S MY MAN' MAKES IT SOUND LIKE HE'S BARACK'S ***** BUTT-BOY.  HE SOUNDS LIKE HE'S LUSTING AFTER OBAMA!"   NON-RAPPERS FOCUSED ON HOW LUDACRIS HAD JUST DROPPED DA B-WORD TO A BEAT WHILE BARACK'S CULT HAS BEEN DROPPING IT NON-STOP AND THEY ALSO POINT OUT THAT BARACK'S VICOTRY PARTY IN IOWA FEATURED THE 'DITTY' ABOUT HOW HE HAS 99 PROBLEMS BUT A "BITCH" ISN'T ONE OF THEM.    BARACK RAISED NO OBJECTIONS TO THAT.  BUT HE REALIZES HE'S IN HOT WATER AS THE COUNTRY GETS A GOOD LOOK AT JUST WHAT SORT OF HATE HAS FUELED BARACK'S 'RISE.'  SO THE WIMPY CANDY-ASS HAD HIS CAMPAIGN ISSUE A STATEMENT. AS USUAL, BARACK COULDN'T GET HIS SOFT HANDS DIRTY.   THE CAMPAIGN'S EFFORTS TO ACT OFFENDED ARE NOT GOING OVER WELL.  BARACK HAD EARLIER PRAISED LUDACRIS TO ROLLING STONE. THE 'TALENT' BARACK FINDS "GREAT" IS FAMOUS FOR SUCH 'SWEET' AND 'APPROPRIATE' AND 'PRESIDENTIAL' LINES SUCH AS "I GOT HOES IN DIFFERENT AREAS CODES." BARACK MET WITH HIM LAST YEAR.  AND LUDACRIS WAS ALREADY FAMOUS FOR HIS 'DITTY' "MOVE BITCH, GET OUT THE WAY, GET OUT THE WAY, BITCH, GET OUT THE WAY . . ."   BARACK WAS FINE WITH THAT AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE BARACK IS GUTTER TRASH.  NOW HIS SEPTIC TANK IS OVERFLOWING IN PUBLIC AND AMERICA'S SEEING THE REAL BARACK AND WHO REALLY SUPPORTS HIM.   THE CAMPAIGN CANNOT HIDE BEHIND "THIS SONG IS OUTRAGEOUSLY OFFENSIVE" SINCE ALMOST EVERY RAP LUDACRIS HAS DONE HAS BEEN OUTRAGEOUSLY OFFENSIVE.  ONLY NOW, WITH THE SPOTLIGHT ON HIM, DOES BARACK PRETEND -- VIA HIS CAMPAIGN -- THAT HE'S OFFENDED.  THIS IS THE REAL BARACK AND HIS SUPPORT: GUTTER TRASH.   FROM THE TCI WIRE:     Starting with war resistance.  Alex Atamanenko is a Canadian MP from the New Democratic Party. He writes a letter to the editor of Arrow Lake News:   Tuesday, July 15th will go down as a black day in Canadian history. The first Iraqi War Resister from the American military was deported from Canada for refusing to fight in a war that Canada refused to get involved in, that the United Nations has called illegal, and that much of the world sees as an invasion of a sovereign country for oil resources.        Robin Long, 25, was one of hundreds of U.S. men and women who have struggled with the decision to risk life-long separation from their families, friends and their country to stay in Canada. If they return to the U.S. they can face arrest, court martial, prison sentences, deployment to Iraq and being blacklisted from employment and education opportunities for the rest of their lives. Many of these youth have been targeted by an 'economic draft', a US recruitment effort that targets the poor with offers of employment, health care for family members, higher education and more if they sign up. These promises are not always kept.   Our country has a history once known for peacekeeping, for the art of diplomatic negotiation, for refuge in times of war, for welcoming conscientious objectors like the Mennonites, the Quakers, the Doukhobors, and the Vietnam draft dodgers. These immigrants have made huge contributions to the life of their communities and to our country.           Prime Minister Harper's Conservative government chose to direct the deportation of Mr. Long DESPITE the June 3rd House of Commons vote in favour of a resolution introduced by my colleague, Olivia Chow, Federal NDP Immigration Critic. This motion called on our Government to cease any removal or deportation actions against conscientious objectors who have refused or left military service related to a war not sanctioned by the UN. It called for the government to immediately set up programs to allow their application for permanent residency status, so that they can remain in Canada.      Further, on June 27th Angus Reid released a poll showing that 64% of Canadians believe that US War Resisters should be allowed to stay in Canada, re-enforcing the fact that the vote in Parliament was reflecting the will of the Canadian people. On July 4th the Federal Court of Canada acted, and ruled that war resister Joshua Key should have his denied refugee claim reviewed by the Refugee Board of Canada. The court found that someone who refuses to take part in military action which "systematically degrades, abuses or humiliates" combatants or non-combatants might qualify as a refugee.       On July 9th, the Federal Court further ruled that war resister Corey Glass's order for deportation the next day should be stayed for an indefinite period of time. The Canadian people and the Parliament of Canada have spoken.   I call upon Minister Day, Minister Finley and Prime Minister Harper to respect the will of Parliament and the Canadian people and to stand up to President Bush to ensure that American soldiers who oppose that war receive a welcome in Canada. Alex Atamanenko, MP BC Southern Interior         And, of course, "draft dodgers" and "deserters" were both welcomed into Canada during Vietnam.  On Robin Long, the War Resisters Support Campaign states:   Against the wishes of Canadians and Canada's Parliament, the federal government deported U.S. Iraq war resister Robin Long to the United States, where he faces punishment for refusing to participate in the Iraq War.           Robin is currently being held at Fort Carson, Colorado. People can send letters of support to Robin at the following address:         Robin Long, CJC  2739 East Las Vegas  Colorado Springs, Colorado      USA 80906      Robin is allowed to receive hand or type-written letters. They must not include anything like drawings made with markers, lipstick, crayons, stickers etc. or print articles. There can be no enclosures, with the exception of standard size photographs (ie. up to 4x6 inches). These must be printed at a photo developing place (i.e. not photocopies, or from a home printer, or Polaroids), and there must be LESS than ten photos, otherwise they will get put in lockup with his personal belongings and he won't see them.    The War Resisters Support Campaign is calling on supporters across Canada to urgently continue to put pressure on the minority conservative government to immediately cease deportation proceedings against other US war resisters and to respect the will of Canadians and their elected representatives by implementing the motion adopted by Parliament on June 3rd. Please see the take action page for what you can do.   War resisters in Canada need your help. To pressure the Stephen Harper government to honor the House of Commons vote, Gerry Condon, War Resisters Support Campaign and Courage to Resist all encourage contacting the Diane Finley (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration -- 613.996.4974, phone; 613.996.9749, fax; e-mail finley.d@parl.gc.ca -- that's "finley.d" at "parl.gc.ca") and Stephen Harper (Prime Minister, 613.992.4211, phone; 613.941.6900, fax; e-mail pm@pm.gc.ca -- that's "pm" at "pm.gc.ca").  Courage to Resist collected more than 10,000 letters to send before the vote.  Now they've started a new letter you can use online here.  The War Resisters Support Campaign's petition can be found here.  Long expulsion does not change the need for action and the War Resisters Support Campaign explains: "The War Resisters Support Campaign is calling on supporters across Canada to urgently continue to put pressure on the minority conservative government to immediately cease deportation proceedings against other US war resisters and to respect the will of Canadians and their elected representatives by implementing the motion adopted by Parliament on June 3rd. Please see the take action page for what you can do."    Thank goodness for The Canadian Press.  Were it not for their article, the CBC, the Welland Tribune, the Globe and Mail and the Buffalo News (among others) might have blank spaces. Instead, all work from the same TCP article to tell you that Deltona, Florida's 23-year-old Tyrone Pachauer was arrested by US Customs and Border officers as he attempted to enter the US following a self-checkout while on leave (December 19th through January 1st).  He was reportedly living with relatives in Brampton, Ontario while AWOL.  Precious Yutango (Toronto Star) is the only one filing a report and cites US Customs and Border Protection's Kevin Corsaro stating, "Supposedly, he had left boot camp in December for Christmas break.  I guess he decided he didn't want to be in the army anymore so he fled to Brampton."  Meanwhile AP reports Casey Anne Hardt (18-years-old, from Chiloquin, Oregon) was arrested in . . . Louisiana -- which may hold the record for the most arrests of AWOLs during the Iraq War.  She was arrested at a traffic stop in Bossier City (right next to Shreveport).  AP states she had a desertion warrant and was now awaiting "extradition to Fort Leonard Wood", MO.   Courage to Resist speaks with Michael Thurman (audio interview) about how he signed up, at seventeen-years-old, for the delayed entry program in 2005 while in high school, "I was really interested in aviation and having a career in aviation. . . . One day the air force recruiter came to school and I was talking to her about joining the military as an air force maintenance technician and eventually working to become a pilot."  He described himself at that time as "indifferent," "young," "motivated by self-interests" and in "a conservative right-wing household."   In his senior year he "found some new friends" who provided him with "more of a liberal lean towards politics. So I started seeing it through those eyes and that's when I started becoming a little discontent with the war and the government. . . .  But I was still ready to go."   Thurman was then sent to Lackland Air Force Base for basic training where, "I just questioned a lot of things I was being taught."  In one class the training was videos of violence -- people being shot, people being blown up -- which led Thurman to questioning.  As did "one of the chants was about killing people" which all indicated that "it just seemed like a really hateful, angry situation I didn't want to be in."   Michael Thurman: I didn't really want to be part of killing people but I was already in and I didn't really have a choice so I just advanced and kept telling myself it might get better.  So I went through tech school with that . . . with that kind of -- I was a little bit angry about my situation and I got depressed about it a lot.  And from there -- It was actually  during tech school that I started studying a lot of Eastern philosophy and thought and Buddhism and Taoism and that kind of changed my perspective in a spiritual way towards humanity and towards existence.  So . . . I guess I could say at that point I could say I was totally opposed to the situation I was in.   Eventually, he ended up at Beale Air Force Base:   Michael Thurman: I started working out on the flight lines.  And every day I was out there I just thought of all the indirect killing I was contributing to and I just couldn't take it anymore. So one day I told my supervisor that I didn't agree with any of it and I didn't want to be in the military anymore.  And I told him, if there was any way I could get out, I'd like to get out. They took me off of flight run.  He's actually the one who told me about consientious objector.  I actually didn't know about the term until I was introduced to it by him. So I looked into it and I read down the criteria and I thought, "Wow, yeah, this is what I am, this is what I'm going to apply for so I can get out of the military."  So I applied for consientious. objector status and it took me a long time to it was a really arduous process.  They put me in -- they put me in the office.  They took me off of flight line and put me in an office.  And I was just doing personnel work just pushing paper and filing.  I was like a file clerk and that sort of stuff which I was still contributing to it.  So every day that I was in, I was in constant turmoil about even the little, the little stuff -- like mopping or taking out the trash.  It still contributed to this huge system that I was totally opposed to being.   Courage to Resist: So from the time you first asked to get out until you were discharged, how long was it?   Michael Thurman: It took a very long time, eight months for me to get discharged by the time I applied for conscientious objector status.  What happened was, when I applied I had to write a huge paper about what I believe and how it came to be and why I couldn't contribute to war anymore. And at that point, I had to talk to a psychiatrist to make sure I was still sane.  I guess they thought I might have been crazy . . .  I talked to a lawyer at the legal office and she's actually the one that processed all my legal stuff and determined whether or not  I was actually a  cons obj and she recommended me to my base commander and it basically went up the chain of command so that's why it took a long time.  Oh and I also had to talk to a chaplain and the chaplain gave me a report about my religious and spiritual beliefs. And, so yeah, from that, from those interviews it goes to legal office on base and then it just goes up the chain of command.  And it went all the way up to the Secretary of the Air Force and it took eight months for that to happen.     There is a growing movement of resistance within the US military which includes Andrei Hurancyk, Megan Bean, Chris Bean, Matthis Chiroux, Richard Droste, Michael Barnes, Matt Mishler, Josh Randall, Robby Keller, Justiniano Rodrigues, Chuck Wiley, James Stepp, Rodney Watson, Michael Espinal, Matthew Lowell, Derek Hess, Diedra Cobb, Brad McCall, Justin Cliburn, Timothy Richard, Robert Weiss, Phil McDowell, Steve Yoczik, Ross Spears, Peter Brown, Bethany "Skylar" James, Zamesha Dominique, Chrisopther Scott Magaoay, Jared Hood, James Burmeister, Jose Vasquez, Eli Israel, Joshua Key, Ehren Watada, Terri Johnson, Clara Gomez, Luke Kamunen, Leif Kamunen, Leo Kamunen, Camilo Mejia, Kimberly Rivera, Dean Walcott, Linjamin Mull, Agustin Aguayo, Justin Colby, Marc Train, Abdullah Webster, Robert Zabala, Darrell Anderson, Kyle Snyder, Corey Glass, Jeremy Hinzman, Kevin Lee, Mark Wilkerson, Patrick Hart, Ricky Clousing, Ivan Brobeck, Aidan Delgado, Pablo Paredes, Carl Webb, Stephen Funk, Blake LeMoine, Clifton Hicks, David Sanders, Dan Felushko, Brandon Hughey, Logan Laituri, Jason Marek, Clifford Cornell, Joshua Despain, Joshua Casteel, Katherine Jashinski, Dale Bartell, Chris Teske, Matt Lowell, Jimmy Massey, Chris Capps, Tim Richard, Hart Viges, Michael Blake, Christopher Mogwai, Christian Kjar, Kyle Huwer, Wilfredo Torres, Michael Sudbury, Ghanim Khalil, Vincent La Volpa, DeShawn Reed and Kevin Benderman. In total, at least fifty US war resisters in Canada have applied for asylum. Information on war resistance within the military can be found at The Objector, The G.I. Rights Hotline [(877) 447-4487], Iraq Veterans Against the War and the War Resisters Support Campaign. Courage to Resist offers information on all public war resisters.

There would be no vote on impeachment, no discussion of the dereliction of Congressional duty, and no Ralph Nader. Ralph Nader, who has long championed the necessity of impeachment for W's repeated, defiant high crimes and misdemeanors, was not invited to testify at the Rayburn Building on Friday morning. Writer DC Larson summed the situation up, proclaiming that the "Democrat-led Congress are as unconcerned about political justice as is any neo-con in Rupert Murdoch's Rolodex." The Nader campaign was there to observe, along with hundreds of other concerned citizens, but couldn't crack the guest-list, despite a run-in with Ms. Kucinich . Only 16 individuals were granted admission into the hall to observe testimony from the following witnesses: Panel I: Hon. Dennis Kucinich U.S. House of Representatives 10th District, OH Hon. Maurice Hinchey U.S. House of Representatives 22nd District, NY Hon. Walter Jones U.S. House of Representatives 3rd District, NC Hon. Brad Miller U.S. House of Representatives 13th District, NC Panel II: Hon. Elizabeth Holtzman Former U.S. House of Representatives 16th District, NY Department of Justice Hon.

Rabkin Professor of Law George Mason University School of Law Elliott Adams President of the Board Veterans for Peace Frederick A. O. Schwarz, Jr. Senior Counsel Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law Said Chairman John Conyers with regard to his committee's inaction, "we are not done yet, and we do not intend to go away until we achieve the accountability that Congress is entitled to and the American people deserve." Let's hold Congress to this. Let's reclaim the Constitution. Let's start now. Onward.     RECOMMENDED: "Iraq snapshot" "Other Items" "For-show in Diyala" "how lollie burkeman, katty & others ruin barack" "Micky Z, Timonthy Noah" "Linda Jue, Ryan Lizza" "No Sale, Michelle!"
