Murdered Palestinian people everywhere.

What a narrative!

And so current that it is really current as in NOW!

No wind farms, but the divine Zionist wind everywhere.

Not only do folks swallow the Myth of the Democrats, they choke on a myth of a progressive Green Party. Stick a fork in the “Greens.” Cobb, Glick, Bobier et al.’s self-promotionalism killed it off, somewould say intentionally.

Whaddaguy!

His technique has conquered the world including Israel.

Oh, really?

“Another problem with the Green has been their lack of recruiting people of color into their ranks.”

Oh, really?

“Only when the left (whites) cease being cowardly on the seriousness of racism can they then be trusted and taken seriously to build solidarity.”

You don’t say.

Democracy it’s such a damn messy thing for some. It’s the damn zionist again. Jim Crow is a Zionist infiltration. Cynthia McKinney – who’s an African Amerian woman running for President on the Green party ticket – is a zionist infiltrator. This is a boring deadbeat narrative, the kind to take the US foreign policies and Israel’s policies off the hook in Goebbels style.

The Green Party self-destructed in 2004. The GP needs to restructure their organizational structures. The GP was infiltrated by “demo-green”. Greens who did not want to challenge the Democratic Party and used their undemocratic “state-based” weighted vote tally to dilute the desires of the majority of Green Party members who wanted to mount a direct challenge. You have people like Medea Benjamin thwart the aspiration of many Greens who wanted to support Ralph Nader but instated mounted a campaign to put David Cobb on the ballot.

The result was this “Anybody But Bush/Safe-State” mantra that was supported by so-called “left”; so-called “progressives” like Michael Albert, Howard Zinn, and Noam Chomsky. This split the anti-war movement who placed their hopes on war-monger John Kerry and the result was a loss of ballot lines for the Green Party.

Another problem with the Green has been their lack of recruiting people of color into their ranks. Once again because the “left” (whites) are weak on confronting ALL FORMS OF RACISM (ie Zionism) they cannot possible be serious in building solidarity among people of color therefore the Green Party will not ever be taken seriously because their cannot seriously expand their ranks.

Only when the left (whites) cease being cowardly on the seriousness of racism can they then be trusted and taken seriously to build solidarity.

Zionism is a symptom; and Lieberman is a perpetrator, but get the problem definition right because when the problem is ONLY Zionism we forgive all other imperialistic policies by conflating them with a fractional ideology.

Zionism is not a “symptom”. Zionism is a RACIST ideology that for one reason or another the left REFUSED to CONFRONT. Clearly Zionism was not the pretext for Vietnam. However Israel was involved in running armaments to Central America in order to assist the Reagan Administration circumvention of the U.S. Congress in the 1980’s. Israel is involved in Africa especially against the Sudan. Finally the pretext for the war in Iraq was primarily to destroy an Israeli rival. The fact that the left is unwilling to confront this form of racism speaks the they unworthiness and inability to build solidarity among the groups most affected by ALL FORMS of racism and imperialism.

Be not fooled by my impulsive scribblings in these “comment” boxes? I do have a clue, even though it may not always seem so. Frinstance,
Cynthia McKinney finds me amusing enough to wonder if I’d be into Delegating for her at the GP convention, Fifth Dist of California, Incumbent Doris Matsui. Who has succeeded her late hubby & erstwhile Demo Whip Robt T. as Ms. Pelosi’s first-chair Rubber Stamp.

The late Jimmy Smith’s first words to me were “You can play, man, but ain’t you outa breath? Hehe;)”

So if you’d care to share your ideas in more depth, do send me an email, res.181@rcip.com; I promise to respond, at least a few words depending on how interested I might be.

BTW, I’m now a povertystruck senile citizen on the Oakland side of the Romance bit, so D-krepit that I”m all bidness period. Still play a lil bebop etc now/then but otherwise I’m trying to find a crack in the wall of Imperialism’s indifference, a pt of leverage from which to perform an Amazing Feat of Historical Aikido.

With the help of the amazing Dr 63 Books/26 Languages Petras along with Jeff Quiet As Its Kept Blankfort. Plus the Christisons, Lenni Brenner and now this amazing too Grant Smith. “Foreign Agents”: turns out The Isreal Lobby not only violates International Law, the outfit been violating US law bigtime for decades. Not only is it a morally criminal enterprise, it is also an Illegal Enterprise according to the statutes on the books.
Unfortunately the US Justice Dept is one their Holy Owned Subsiderarys, plus the House & Senate Judish Cmte’s is one they Clubhouses wear they git together t shoot the shit & th occasional A-rabb. But I disgress…

Well I just got home from Paul Larudee’s talk about “breaking the siege of Gaza”. Strange event; I mean you gotta support the idea, but the cast of characters! All the way from Achmed Ben Bella’s pal Elias Rashmawi to Karen Bernal from the Deaniac section of PDA. Blows my mind everytime I see her: purty as a pickter & a diehard Tweedlecrat. Fergit weather she’s pushing Obama or Edwards, it’s one a them.

So anything that increases Gazan capacity for “sumud”, steadfastness, keepen on keepen on, is all to the good. If it helps the Democratically Elected Gov’t to survive, that’s even better. The other aspect is that it puts these Liberal Zionists into the leadership of the Palestine Solidarity movement.

But on every chair as people were coming in, they found a copy of the flier for the Dec 16 protest vs the annual Sactomato Aipacker Luncheon, verbatim as I laid it out, down to the color (salmon). So guess I shdn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Said Priam:)

In a nutshell, (no cracks) the name of the disease is Faith in the Myth of a Democratic Party. This isn’t “democracy”, it’s Manipulation.

Needed: a vehickle for engagement in the Electoral Arena, that is totally & demonstrably not controlled by the ZPC or any other sector of the Ruling Class. Yes, we can “United Front” with all kinds of weird folks, Generals, oil barons, arms mfgrs (don’t lisp;) but first we gotta have a organized organization of a lot of people who see what the Game is. To have a basis to Coalition w/Outside Forces, we gotta be somewhat organized & effective ourselves. Starting w/ Yrs Truly, so lemme off here & start to TC some OB on the home front.

EZ,
de

PS: oh btw, the reason I say Electoral Arena: it’s about Power. Ability to direct the Security Forces.

Zionism is a symptom; and Lieberman is a perpetrator, but get the problem definition right because when the problem is ONLY Zionism we forgive all other imperialistic policies by conflating them with a fractional ideology.

I agree with Frank that racism underscores all forms of imperialism. It enables the imperialist perpetrators to appease hate and massive atrocities in the name of “superiority”. It is at the core of all imperialism and particularly today’s US/Israel/Sarkozy.

RFK, Jr. is only a disappointment for those who still think the Democratic party is salvagable (which is a big waste of energy lost in themyth of something that really never was).

Typical Dem. Talks nice. But when push-comes-to-shove, will support an awful pro-war, pro-corporate candidate because that candidate is the nominee of the pro-war, pro-corporate candidate.

My local rep just did the same thing. DeGette(CO-1) is one of those Dems that tries to appeal to progressives by talking sometimes. In her case by occasionally talking like she opposes the Iraq war. But never really DOES anything about it. All talk, no action … then you see the true colors show through when she supports Hillary. Barf!

The bottom line is that they are Dems. They’ve sworn allegiance to a pro-war party that supports a government of the corporation, by the corporation and for the corporation in exchange from lots of money from, surprise, corporations. That’s what the (D) after the name tells you. And the (D) after the name means that this sworn allegiance is more important to them than any of the BS that comes out of their mouths that sounds different from the Democratic party line. Its BS because when push-come-to-shove, they will support the party line.

I’ll probably vote Kucinich in the primary and when he loses, I’ll vote for a third party candidate in the general election.

I just saw a poll which puts Bush’s approval rating at 36%. How could it be that high? I feel very discouraged.

Kennedy’s betrayal should not surprise us too much. The Democratic Party is being infected by the same disease as the Republicans. Corporate cash is the cancer that is destroying the Party from the inside and few can resist its temptation, as evidenced by Kennedy’s feebleness. He is obviously aware that Clinton is the worst of the Democratic offerings, but he has ceded his oft vocalized principles for some yet unknown deal.
