The ANSWER Coalition encourages its members and supporters to attend an exciting educational event taking place in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, April 19.
Please see below for the list of featured speakers.
The "Capitalism is Organized Crime" conference will take place from 12:00 noon to 5:00 pm at the Festival Center, located at 1640 Columbia Rd. NW, between 16th and 17th Sts. (green line metro to Columbia Heights).
Guest Speakers, Panels & Discussion
Capitalism is a form of organized crime. The U.S. government is greasing the system's wheels to ensure that banks and big corporations get trillions in bailout funds. Meanwhile, millions of workers are losing their jobs and homes. Deep cuts are gutting public education, making health care even less accessible and decimating much-needed social programs. Police brutality and racial profiling are rampant. Working-class people are being hit from all sides.
The conference will link the struggles against war and militarism with the fight for economic justice. This conference will be an important opportunity for political activists to meet, analyze, discuss and propose solutions. The conference organizers believe that a radical reorganization of society is necessary to meet the needs of the people rather than to maximize the profits of bankers and corporate executives who have driven society onto the path of endless war and economic suffering.
Featured speakers at the April 19th Conference will include:

Problem is, that what is going on now is not capitalism. Bailing out banks and government takeovers of business (like GM...with others soon to follow) is fascism.
Sounds like Marxism to me...
Socialism is legalized theft.
LOL
Capitalism! I guess Democrat/Republican capitalism is, based on TARP. But our capitalism is not. We dont get bailouts.
I am not soliciting anyone to sign up for the events....
To see the actual source of this info go
America = capitalism. If they don’t like it they can leave.
No matter whose welfare he professes to serve, be it the welfare of God or of that disembodied gargoyle he describes as ‘The People,’ no matter what ideal he proclaims in terms of some supernatural dimension-in fact, in reality, on earth, his ideal is death, his craving is to kill, his only satisfaction is to torture.
Destruction is the only end that the mystics’ creed has ever achieved, as it is the only end that, you see them achieving today, and if the ravages wrought by their acts have not made them question their doctrines, if they profess to be moved by love, yet are not deterred by piles of human corpses, it is because the truth about their souls is worse than the obscene excuse you have allowed them, the excuse that the end justifies the means and that the horrors they practice are means to nobler ends. The truth is that those horrors are their ends.
You who’re depraved enough to believe that you could adjust yourself to a mystic’s dictatorship and could please him by obeying his orders-there is no way to please him; when you obey, he will reverse his orders; he seeks obedience for the sake of obedience and destruction for the sake of destruction. You who are craven enough to believe that you can make terms with a mystic by giving in to his extortions-there is no way to buy him off, the bribe he wants is your life, as slowly or as fast as you are willing to give it in-and the monster he seeks to bribe is the hidden blank-out in his mind, which drives him to kill in order not to learn that the death he desires is his own.
You who are innocent enough to believe that the forces let loose in your world today are moved by greed for material plunder-the mystics’ scramble for spoils is only a screen to conceal from their mind the nature of their motive. Wealth is a means of human life, and they clamor for wealth in imitation of living beings, to pretend to themselves that they desire to live, but their swinish indulgence in plundered luxury is not enjoyment, it is escape. They do not want to own your fortune, they want you to lose it; they do not want to succeed, they want you to fail; they do not want to live, they want you to die; they desire nothing, they hate existence, and they keep running, each trying not to learn that the object of his hatred is himself.
I guess that the hair stylist and the dress shop and the newspaper boy and the coffee shop owner are all part of organized crime according to leftists. What alternate universe or plane has invaded their thought processes?
These people want to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. The nanny state can’t exist without the hard working normal people who go out and work even if taxes are high.
When they destroy all incentive to work, there will be no one left to tax.
I'm about ready to go bust some heads, personally, just me, not speaking for anyone other than myself.

I am a little confused about why they think that this is capitalism.
The time is past to be confused. I understand your angst, but these vermin need to be shut down. Commit or don’t commit. Your choice. But these vermin need to be shut down.
They plan to take it over...check the House of Representatives...
It sounds like ANSWER doesnt like the current form of Socialism....maybe they prefer the Bolsheviks over the Mensheviks
If they are the ANSWER, I wonder what the QUESTION was.
Yet, another TURD flung into the punchbowl.

Protest responds to ICC arrest warrant for President Bashir
In response to a decision by the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir, demonstrators gathered in front of the Sudanese Embassy in Washington, D.C. The demonstration denounced the ICC’s ruling, and imperialist efforts aimed at destabilizing and recolonizing Sudan along with other parts of Eastern Africa.
The demonstration was organized by the Give Peace A Chance Coalition, a community-based organization dedicated to raising awareness of the effects of U.S. foreign policy on Africa and Africans in the Diaspora. Demonstrators held signs that read, "Hands off Sudan," "Down with the ICC," and "ICC is a racist court."
AND more:
*****************************
The imperialist disinformation campaign was a central theme of the press conference which followed the demonstration. Speakers included Hodari Abdul-Ali, Executive Director of GPAC and Chair of the Social Justice Task Force for the Muslim Alliance in North America; Akbar Muhammad, Found of Youth 4 Africa Foundation; Dr. Kaukab Siddique, author and Amir of Jamaat Al-Muslimeen organization; and Bob Brown of the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party. Brian Becker, the National Coordinator of the ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), also spoke in solidarity with the Sudanese people.
