Cindy Sheehan's "Bright Spot"

This headline and this photograph now greet visitors to Goebbels heir, Michael Moore's disinformation site:

A Bright Spot in Bush World

Amid the Miserable Failures on the Same Planet
A Message from Cindy Sheehan

In Algiers, in the space of 2 short weeks, Malik and his community has opened a clinic which also doubles as a food and supply distribution center.

[Please note, I will italicize my comments in between Cindy Sheehan's excerpted remarks.

What this photo and Cindy's "letter" purport to be a medical station is the "mosque" of former Black Panther and current Moslem radical, Malik Rahim.

Of course it is neither a "medical station" nor a "clinic," nor a "mosque," if words still have any meaning. But it helps the fundraising to portray it that way.

And speaking of lying with pictures, the people who look like they are lined up for help are in fact the people who were only there to deliver supplies to Rahim. (Note the "resist" t-shirt.) They are not victims seeking help at this "clinic." They are helping to perpetuate this fraud.

But "after only two weeks," behold the miracle that is Malik's "clinic":

Behold the interior of Rahim's "mosque" and "clinic":

Behold its medical supplies:

There is no evidence whatsoever that there are any people getting any medical help from Rahim's pretend clinic. For which we should probably thank God (or Allah).

For behold our hero clinician, Malik Rahim:

Malik Rahim: "There are gangs of white vigilantes near here riding around in pickup
trucks, all of them armed, and any young Black they see who they figure
doesn't belong in their community, they shoot him."

Rahim claims to be taking care of the sick and infirm. Here Rahim demonstrates one of his center's “emergency kits,” which appears to include a bar of hotel soap, a handy wipe, a toothbrush and toothpaste:

Behold the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) label on the box at his elbow. A box of food from the government.

Malik Rahim: “We’re looking to make the mosque a health clinic and establish some kind of school. From there we gonna try to start doing some church services so people can start feeling some sense of community,” Rahim says. “If you wait on the government, you won’t get nothing.” (LA Weekly)]

We need more help in Algiers. Malik and the other dozens fine volunteers are planning on opening 2 more clinics in Algiers and Malik would dearly love someone to give him a flat bottomed boat so he can go to the flood drenched poor communities that still have not been helped and bring them food, supplies, and medical attention.

Medical professionals are dearly needed.

[Oh, yeah. Medical professionals. So far all the VFP have said they have are "anarchist medics," perhaps like this bravo:]

When I see what the people of Algiers are doing to help themselves and the people of America are doing to help them help themselves, it gives me hope. I think Algiers can be a model for all of our communities.

The people who are running the clinic in Algiers gave me a list of desperately needed supplies:

Blood pressure medication---properly packaged.
Allergy medication---properly packaged
Vitamin B
Pens, paper, sharpies, index cards
Glucometers and test strips
Full O2 tanks
Power strips and extension cords
Non-DEET insect repellent
Mini bottles of Hand Sanitizer
A copy machine is urgently needed
People: Call: 512-297-XXXX

Send supplies to:
Fed Ex or UPS
Veterans for Peace Ch 116
C/O 645 Kimbro Dr.
Baton Rouge, La. 70808

Mark them: For the Medical Clinic in Algiers

[This is the home address of Cindy's legal advisor and bogus Vietnam combat vet, Ward Reilly, shown here smoking next to a gas pump:

Ward Reilly is the point man for the VFP's Katrina efforts. They have no other address for deliveries except for the parking lot of a local dive bar .]

The children in Algiers have also been out of school. Malik would like to open a school and they need school supplies and teachers.

I was told that Pat Boone told the listeners that after we "stole the supplies" from the Red Cross, we gave them to the "enemies of America who are like the people who want to fly airplanes into our buildings." Boone says that we were giving them to enemies of America, because we were distributing the supplies from a Mosque. First of all, accusing me of stealing is slander, I think, and second of all: we were helping Americans.

[The truth is a full defense against the charge of slander. Behold what Cindy's pals have posted here and here about where they get their supplies:  

VFP: The Red Cross is having the same problems reaching people. They are not set up for distribution so food is piling up and the people who need it most can't get there, so on numerous occasions VFP has helped deliver food for the Red Cross to surrounding areas.

VFP: "We have picked up too many loads to count from the incompetent Red Cross facilities that can’t seem to figure out how to get food on a truck, let alone to a destination. They have a problem, and every time a truck pulls in to carry food out, they see it as dumping their problem. And they are dumping their problem of course. We came with the solution. Today, people got fed. Andrea [Garland] and [her fiancé] Jeff from www.getyouracton.com put a van and a trailer together and took generators, gas and a load of goods to [Malik Rahim in] Algiers again."

I don't think Pat Boone has anything to worry about. But the VFP and Cindy Sheehan might.]

If George Bush truly listened to God and read the words of the Christ, Iraq and the devastation in New Orleans would have never happened.

George Bush needs to stop talking, admit the mistakes of his all around failed administration, pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans and Iraq, and excuse his self from power. The only way America will become more secure is if we have a new administration that cares about Americans even if they don't fall into the top two percent of the wealthiest.

Andrea (on left) somehow managed to take an endless stream of photographs during her harrowing foray into this devastated area to deliver goods to the racist crackpot, Malik Rahim.

Like her very close friend Ward Reilly, Andrea Garland is another member of Cindy's legal team. She is also the progenitor of the claim that George Bush's jackbooted thugs dynamited a levee to protect the rich and drown the poor.

Stroll through Andrea's extensive collection of photos from her trip to Rahim's and you will see that there are no pictures of anything like Cindy Sheehan has described in her fear and hate mongering post. There are no dead bodies lying in the streets. There are no forgotten victims. (Or maybe Andrea just forgot to show them.)

Even Miss Garland's house seems to have escaped mostly unscathed, despite Bush's nefarious attempts to destroy it.

Cindy Sheehan is simply a liar. And worse than that, Cindy is trying to steer donations away from organizations that are doing real work for the Katrina victims -- like the Red Cross, whose supplies Cindy's Camp Casey have admitted taking.

Instead, Cindy Sheehan and the Michael Moores and Andrea Garlands and Wade Reillys of this world want to divert that money and supplies into the pockets of racist crackpot lunatics like Malik Rahim. And of course she and the VFP are profiting handsomely from all of this bogus fundraising for Katrina Relief.

How many $600 iPods, $3,000 computer monitors, digital cameras and projectors do these forgotten victims need?

#6 OFFICE & MEDIA EQUIPMENT:

Our Mobile Media Center is on the bus with wireless Internet via Satellite. We are using our computer to communicate needs and direct refugees to services and document damage in the poorest effected areas.

We need to have more tools and software to be truely effective.

NEEDS:
(5) Apple iMac G5 Computer 20" Monitor = $3,000 each
(5) 500 Gigabyte Firewire Harddrive= $500 each
(5) Canon XL2Digital Video Camera = $4,500 each
(2) Digital Projector (3000 lumens) =$1,000 each
(5) Apple iPods with recording = $600 each

Monthly Satellite Access and Website Hosting Fee = $200 pr/mo

Donations for our multi media equipment will support refugees, volunteers, Red Cross, staff, press, keep in touch through via email, web, blogs, and teleconferencing.

Those items have been on the VFP's request list for Katrina relief. They were on the VFP's wish list long before Katrina came along. They are supplies which will be used by Cindy and the VFP to promulgate their hate-America campaign.

The local police, the attorney general's office of Louisiana and the Red Cross themselves are now investigating the Camp Casey's actions to date.

The VFP's false representations of "supporting" the Red Cross are a violation of federal law punishable by up to a year in prison. The VFP are aware they are being investigated, and begun to edit out some of their false claims regarding the Red Cross from their press releases and posts.

It is ironic beyond bearing that one of Mother Sheehan's favorite rhetorical gimmicks is to ask how George Bush can sleep at night.

Just look at the outrageous scam Cindy Sheehan is perpetuating. The donations she is diverting away from truly worthy organizations who are actually helping Katrina victims. The supplies they are stealing from the victims to give to crackpots like Malik Rahim.

Just look at the racist lies Cindy is spreading. The vicious hatred she is sowing. The class warfare she seeks every day to fan. The tragedy she is exploiting for her own personal revenge.

Cindy Sheehan does these reprehensible things to raise money for herself and her pals. To advance her America-hating agenda. To raise her visibility so that she can charge higher speaking fees.

How can Cindy Sheehan sleep at night?

[Sam Hill]

Actually, if you can stand it, go to Michael Moore's odious site and read Mother Sheehan's remarks in their entirety.

Her raging hatred for this country is a real eye opener.

I would also beg the moderators to refrain from sequestering this away in the blogging section, as it contains much newsworthy material.

[Jaysun]

I read over her comments on Moore's site. Aside from being a liar she's deranged. She also becomes more physically revolting with every passing day, it seems.

Cindy Sheehan's "Bright Spot"

C. S. and "bright" in the same sentence?

[codyjacksmom]

When I saw her "Bright Spot", I just thought maybe she was balding and that's why she needed that really ugly hat!

[JoJo Gunn]

She's gone from a grieving "mother" to being a pre-adolescent expert on emergency management and global warming. Oh, and she looks like a man.

There's no problem....

"There are gangs of white vigilantes near here riding around in pickup trucks, all of them armed, and any young Black they see who they figure doesn't belong in their community, they shoot him."

ummmmmm......yeah!

[Nathan Zachary]

My God! Why hasn't the FBI investigated this, and indited Shee-man? This is an outright scam, a fraud! Shee-man and her accomplices should be in orange juit suits and leg irons.

Malik would dearly love someone to give him a flat bottomed boat so he can go to the flood drenched poor communities that still have not been helped and bring them food, supplies, and medical attention. Medical professionals are dearly needed.

That fat slob (looks like he drinks too much) looks like he can't walk 20 feet under his own power without having a heart attack, never mind jumping in a boat and rescuing anyone. The supply list looks like stuff to monitor his diabetis and blood preasure.

Unbelievable. What a shame it is that MSM not only doesn't show the truth, but they support this evil, ugly little troll Shee-man.

Oh the stories her x-husband can tell!

[Dahoser]

Occupied New Orleans? Are these the same folks who complained that W sat by and didn't get involved, but now they're calling New Orleans occupied territory like it's Nazi Germany in 1945?

Memo to the stupid party: If you do not use every picture you can of Cindy Sheehan with the RAT politician you're running against like the one in this thread of her with Frank Pallone, you deserve to lose every single seat in Congress.

[Deetes]

Incredible hate filled witch . Bump

[Nathan Zachary]

I was reading at that 'getyouraction' site.

What a load of BS!! They sure know how to scam, don't they!!! "rebuilding efforts" my @SS!!! They are stocking up on cash so they can live for free off the donations of suckers.

Aparently they have a "crew" from NY making a "doccumentry" and helping them "get to the bottom" of what REALLY happened.
The evil government you know- they did this- Katrina was just a cover. LoL!

These idiots really do live in an alternate reality. They need to be arrested for their scam too.

[Nathan Zachary]

My God! What is that on that ugly trolls feet? Looks like warts, gout, or hoof and mouth disease. Looks like she doesn't bathe very often. She claimed to have been some sort of nurse?

[Sam Hill]

" Aparently they have a "crew" from NY making a "doccumentry" and helping them "get to the bottom" of what REALLY happened."

That would be none other than Michael Moore. How Bush used Katrina to destroy black people is the subject of his next smash hit documentary.

I've been touring the pics at 'get your act on'. This is nothing but a group of lefty freaks setting up their own urban commune. Clearly, they are scamming donations,funds food and other and goods, deverting them from legit groups like the Salvation Army and the ARC to stock their 'headquarters', or more accurately, Moonbat hangout where they can sit around in candle lit circles, smoke dope and share conspiracy theory stories on tin hat night.

Some pics show that the NG and Army Red Cross are in the area, doing what they do. These idiots if anything, are in the way. I notice a stolen rim and tire on one of their vans, and in pics of Malkin the terrible, on the street in front of his undamaged but poorly maintained home, they have nice new vehicles.

I'm sure this guy has a licence to practice "medicine". I guess he's the local dope dealer, since dope cures just about everything that's probably one of the only medical supplies and treatment you will get at this "clinic" Maybe rectal probes are offered here, in fact looking at this pic it seems likely

[Sam Hill]

The creep with the tatoos is Andrea Garland's fiance.

But according to Cindy we should trust

him and Andrea (who made up the dynamited levee story),

the pretend Vietnam war veteran, Wade Reilly,

and the felony ex-con Black Panther Muslim Rastafarian, Malik Rahim (born Donald Guyton)

-- rather than the Red Cross.

Right.

[Hildy]

Well that's her job title now, "Official America Hater." It'll all come crashing down. Mark my words.

[Elyse]

Everyone please call the FBI Katrina Fraud line and report these slimey people. Look at that supply list. It's clear they are only trying to get computer equipment and supplies for their own use. It makes me sick that they are trying to profit personally and politically from other people's misery and taking money away from legitimate relief organizations. The FBI needs to at least investigate these people.

Once again, please see what the mods have hidden away.

I think it fits under news and activism.

But maybe Cindy Sheehan scamming the Red Cross and giving to a Moslem crackpot isn't news.

And maybe trying to expose that isn't activism.

Or maybe I should have just called it "caption that picture."

I just read that the Cindy and the Veterans For Peace are collecting more than $100,000 a day in donations.

That's right folks, Cindy Sheehan and her pals are collecting more than $100,000 a day with their Katrina relief scam.

This information was posted last week, so it might be more now after all of the recent promotions by Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore.

This news was posted on the thread where Cindy's attorney Buddy Spell related the preposterous story that Camp Casey III has saved 14 unwanted babies:

The Political Switchboard -> I finally got through 09-07-05 10:11pm http://politicalswitchboard.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=2378&hl=smudge

This preposterous lie is examined here:

Sweetness & Light » Camp Casey III Saves 14 Unwanted Babies
http://www.sweetness-light.com/archive/camp-casey-iii-saves-14-unwanted-babies/

I have tried to get this information before the public. But my efforts to try to alert our side to these activities get immediately removed from the "activism" section of Free Republic, and hidden away in the blogger section, where far fewer people will see it.

I just don't get it at all. Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore and the VFP are making millions off of their Katrina scam, and that information is being buried -- even here at FR.
