Speaking to up to 1,500 anti-war protesters and activists, Mr Benn condemned the conflict in Iraq as "illegal, immoral and unwinnable". The event at the Royal Horticultural Hall in central London was organised by the Stop the War Coalition. Convenor Lindsey German hopes to find ways to progress the peace movement. "This is a day of people coming together to talk about how we can take the troops out of Iraq and allow the Iraqi people to run their country," she said. 'Positive movement' The morning was dominated by Mr Benn's speech, in which he said the current peace movement...

Take a close look and there is something downright suspicious about former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, now the darling of certain sectors of the radical left. His journey has taken him from the heights of federal power to outer orbits of the political fringe. In the process, he has seemingly transformed from a shill for the most corrupt elements of the US elites to a shill for any foreign despot who claims to oppose the US elites. Who is Ramsey Clark really working for? Dynasty of Mediocrity Ramsey Clark was born to power. In 1945, the Clark family made its...

The future of military recruiting at Harvard Law School hangs in the balance as the Supreme Court prepares to hear oral arguments in the high-profile Solomon Amendment case Tuesday morning. In case you’ve tuned out three years of protests and press conferences on campus, here’s the issue in a nutshell: the Solomon Amendment, first passed by Congress in 1994, blocks federal funding for universities that limit military recruitment. It poses a dilemma for Harvard Law School, which requires all on-campus recruiters to sign a pledge saying they won’t discriminate against gays and lesbians. The military, which bars gays and lesbians...

For immediate release: WCCC investigating controversial e-mail Adjunct instructor’s comments gain national attention WASHINGTON TWP. (Nov. 18, 2005) – Officials at Warren County Community College are investigating political comments about the war in Iraq made by an adjunct instructor to a student via an e-mail message. Responding earlier this week to a student’s invitation to attend a student club event, John Daly, an adjunct instructor of Basic Writing and Developmental English, e-mailed the student with a host of his own personal beliefs. The student club event, sponsored by the Young American’s for Freedom, featured Iraq war veteran Lt. Col. Scott...

Thousands of protesters staged rallies on Wednesday across the United States against the policies of President George W. Bush, including the war in Iraq and response to Hurricane Katrina. The World Can't Wait organization, a coalition of groups formed recently to stage the rallies, used the anniversary of Bush's re-election to call for his resignation in protests that took place in cities including New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco and Chicago. In New York, students walked out of schools and colleges and joined other supporters as thousands rallied in Union Square before marching nearly 2 miles to Times Square...

Hot off the digital camera, pictures of the action today at Union Square. A communist front organization, The World Can't Wait, sponsored and organized today's protest. The theme was RESIST OR DIE: DRIVE OUT THE BUSH REGIME. There were a few of us there counter-protesting as well. http://www.flickr.com/photos/imagesofperfection/sets/1279186/ Also here are pictures from the Support our Troops and their Mission weekend in DC in September.

"No free speech for fascists!" screamed two burly ruffians as they charged the stage where David Horowitz was attempting to speak. "I probably would have suffered some bodily harm," Horowitz later wrote on his blog. Luckily, he writes, about half a dozen supporters "sprang to my rescue and beat the living crap out of the two deserving reds, dragging them unceremoniously from the theater." (1)Mr. Horowitz was fortunate. But he remains a target. We now know that the October 21 attack at the Liberty Film Festival in Los Angeles was no random event. It is part of a wider effort, orchestrated...

Organization hands out fliers, graffitis to get message out - There are only 16 days until the beginning of the end of the Bush regime, according to the World Can't Wait, a new political organization. The Austin chapter plans to be on campus and around town handing out fliers and actively advertising their cause. "This administration does not represent us ... even though they say they do," said Sonya Morales, head of the Austin chapter. Today marks the fifth day of encampment outside the White House counting down to Nov. 2, the day WCW has organized protest marches in 40...

Well, at least we know where to find these guys.... From Chicago Indymedia.The Activist Student Union (ASU) of DePaul University is calling for all people concerned with defending Ward Churchill's views and with defending academic freedom, to rally at DePaul. Churchill was invited by DePaul's Cultural Center and the ASU to speak because of his political views and his history of standing up and fighting for human rights and dignity. Were it not for right-wing attacks that have included threatening letters to the staff at the Cultural Center and a letter from the Governor of Colorado urging DePaul to cancel...

One of the country’s most famous anti-war activists is now one of Berkeley’s newest residents. Cindy Sheehan, who gained the world’s attention with her protest outside President George W. Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, has moved into a Berkeley apartment following her separation from her husband. “I needed a place to stay, and some friends got me an apartment,” she said. Not that Berkeley will see much of the mother who lost her son Casey in the Iraq war in April 2004. “I spend most of my time traveling, and I’m home maybe seven to 10 days a month,” she...

Book Review of: Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left, By David Horowitz, Regnery Publishing, Inc. 2004. 296 pp. The nature of political doublespeak never changes and its agenda is always the same: Obliteration of historical memory in the service of power…. Only a restored memory can demolish totalitarian myths and make men free. (David Horowitz, in Big Lies, Center for the Study of Popular Culture, 2005) At first sight, a merger of the secular political left and the Islamist radical believers is an anomaly. But this book carefully dissects the secret of their partnership: their shared hatred of...

Ward Churchill is returning to the Midwest on October 20th. This time, he is going to a much more liberal bastion, Depaul University. He is not welcomed there by most of the people, however. We will be assisting local freepers and Depaul College Republicans in showing, once again, that fake indians who dishonor the victims of 9/11 and our troops are not welcome. Here is a flyer from Depaul University detailing when ward churchill will be coming, and where to go.

Does this sound familiar? EXCERPTS FROM THE NAKED COMMUNIST Former FBI agent, Cleon Skoussen, in 1958, in his book, THE NAKED COMMUNIST, revealed among other things, these long term goals of the communist agenda. The information is in the Congressional Record August 1963 and in the Communist Manifesto: U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war. Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the U.S. would be a demonstration of moral strength. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war. Provide American aid...

Watch out, Cindy Sheehan may end up on your governor's doorstep By Kevin Fobbs Cindy Sheehan is on another mission and her intent is to literally get America out of Iraq if it kills America and destroys our Homeland Security in the process. Her stated purpose as she begins her rounds around the nation is to take on the nation's governors and browbeat them into submission so that they will pull out their National Guard units one state at a time. Can't you just see the glee in leaders of Al Qaida's eyes as they support her new and improved...

In its e-mail endorsing the antiwar rally held in Washington, D.C. over the weekend, Moveon.org took the unusual step of notifying its 3.5 million members that though it wanted people to attend the event, it had “disagreements on a range of issues” with the organizers. What the e-mail left curiously unanswered was what exactly constitutes the “range of issues” with which they disagree. Could it be spearheading the cause of Nazi war criminals? Or playing defense for the likes of other war criminals, including Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein? Or serving as defense attorney for one of bin Laden’s top...

The anti-war crowd held another well-publicized “End the Occupation” rally in Washington DC this past weekend. The rally’s primary sponsors were ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) and United for Peace and Justice. The rally was also the final stop for the Cindy Sheehan bus tour. Thanks to CSPAN’s live coverage, America got to see the anti-war crowd in all its glory. Peace signs, “Bush is a Liar and War Criminal” t-shirts and Palestinian scarves were haute couture at the rally. There was even an American Flag but not in the usual sense. Someone had replaced the...

The refusal by thousands of mainly Black people to leave their homes was intitally described by the media as the main problem relating to the slow evacuations efforts--blaming the victims.Some survivors were 'forced' to steal cars and buses to get their families out of the (afflicted) areas. Should this be considered a crime? NO!When people are opressed, neglected, and left to die, they often engage in spontaneous acts of rebellion, striking out against those who control wealth and power.The media in some of the cities recieving the 'evacuees' are describing them as 'the worst of New Orleans now notorious lawlessness:...
