Is Barack Obama the “anti-war candidate?”

Depends on which war you’re talking about.
*Barack
Obama has repeatedly threatened military action against Iran, and
refused to rule out using nuclear weapons. Think about that for a
second: refused to rule out dropping nuclear weapons on civilians.
In a June 2008 speech before the American Israeli Public Affairs
Committee (AIPAC), he said: “I will do everything in my power

Kristallnacht in Dayton Ohio: Christian Fascism Alive and Well as Election Nears
Thursday, 09 October 2008
By Jill McLaughlin,World Can’t Steering CommitteeAs recently as two months ago some liberal and progressive journalists and bloggers believed that the Christian Right's era was over. They believed that the Republican Party had perhaps come to its senses and realized that this marriage to the Christian Right truly was an unholy alliance. This is partially the reason that John McCain was the Republican nominee for President they believed. Matt Taibbi’s article in theAugust 7th issue of RollingStone ReadHere is a good example of this dangerous assumption.However, looking back,the article may now serve as an explanation of why the McCain Campaign chose Sarah Palin as the vice presidential candidate. Sarah Palin, a dominionist Christian, believes that the troops are on a task from God. Dominionism asserts that Christians are mandated by God to insert themselves into secular institutions until the return of Christ. This would explain their intense focus on end times prophecy. They believe that they alone should govern and should do soaccording to the laws of the Bible. This leaves a whole lot of people out ofthe picture and open to oppression and even death.

American Psychological Association: New Policy Prohibits Participation in Interrogations at Unlawful
Friday, 10 October 2008
WASHINGTON—The American Psychological
Association sent a letter today to President Bush, informing him of
a significant change in the association's policy that limits the roles
of psychologists in certain unlawful detention settings where the human
rights of detainees are violated, such as has occurred at the U.S. naval
base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and at so-called CIA black sites around
the world.

Historians Against the War Call for an End To U.S./Nato Occupation of Afghanistan
Friday, 10 October 2008
The following statement was recently sent out by the Steering Committee
of Historians Against the War1. Whatever views we hold on the initial US military intervention in
Afghanistan in the wake of the September 11 attacks in the US, it is
now clear that the US/NATO presence in this country has become an occupation,
increasingly resented and opposed by large sections of the population.

In Historic Move, Court Orders Release of 17 Innocent Gitmo Prisoners Into U.S.
Friday, 10 October 2008
Center for Constitutional
Rights
On October 6, for the first time, a federal
court ordered the release into the United States of 17 innocent Uighur
men who have been imprisoned at Guantánamo Bay for nearly seven years.
The men are refugees who would face persecution and imprisonment, if
not death, if returned to their native China.
"In the history of our Republic,
the military never imprisoned any man so harshly, and for so long, let
alone men who are not the enemy. We have broken faith with the rule
of law, and been untrue to the generosity of spirit that is our national
character," said Sabin Willett, Partner at Bingham McCutchen who
argued the case for the detainees today.

SIGN the Petition Against DNC/RNC Arrests
Monday, 06 October 2008
SIGN the petition against DNC/RNC arrests, brutal treatment & surveillance of protesters.
The St. Paul City Council is now doing some investigation, and we want to get this national petition to them.
To: Local Elected Officials and Law Enforcement in Denver, St. Paul and Minneapolis:
CC: Homeland Security
background at:
worldcantwait.org
rnc08report.org
New Left Notes
Thousands of people came to your cities during the recent national
political conventions to protest the U.S. occupation of the Middle
East, widespread violations of international law by the Bush
administration, and abuses of the rights of people living in this
country.
They were met in each instance with $50 million spent on military tactics and material, and:
involvement of US "fusion centers" combining domestic and military agencies for the purposes of surveillance of the protesters;riot squads on bicycles, motorcycles, horses, and military troop transports;use of agent infiltrators into political groups, and provocateurs on the streets;revocation and denial of permits to assemble and mass arrests of
protesters & bystanders alike, with pepper & tear gas,
concussion grenades, and batons;raids featuring drawn weapons at homes and offices and on private cars, on the basis not of crimes committed, but of speech.
Nearly 1000 people were arrested, including 40 members of the press,
and including juveniles. Many of them were detained for days. Some
were denied medication, medical care, and timely legal representation.
Some were illegally interrogated as to their political beliefs and
associations. Some were physically abused, with reported use of
tasers, hoods, batons, and denial of food and bathroom facilities.
The charges range from vague misdemeanors to "conspiracy to commit riot
in the 2nd degree in furtherance of terrorism" in the case of the RNC
8. These are demonstrably political charges devoid of actual crimes
committed.
It may be that with the huge budget, the designation of the conventions
as "national security events" and the ominous and baseless warnings
from federal authorities that the political protests would be violent,
such abuses against protesters were predicable. But they are NOT
acceptable. We demand:
1) Charges against people involved in political protest at the
conventions be dropped immediately. In particular, the indictment of
the RNC8 must be withdrawn.
2) A thorough investigation of methods employed by law enforcement, and
directed by Homeland Security, including the methods and justification
for surveillance of political activists; the insertion of agents into
political organizations; the crowd control methods and mass arrests;
the conditions of detention of those arrested; and any ongoing
surveillance and interference with the rights of those accused,
arrested, or involved in the protests are contrary to the expectation
of the rights to freedom of speech and assembly. Such investigations
must include public hearings, and a real search for the truth in what
happened.
3) A public report, dissociating your city from those methods found to
suppress speech and assembly, and guarantee to the people that they
will not be used again.
4) Rejection of the use of military involvement in surveillance,
activation of national guard units or active duty military in future
political protests.

Raising Our Sights, Shouldering Our Responsibilities
Friday, 03 October 2008
by Dennis LooYesterday the major party vice-presidential candidates held their “debate.” What did we hear? We got a script-reciting Christian fascist posing as a reformer and a fascist-enabler posing as a change agent. The same man who, as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, blocked other women from testifying who would have supported Anita Hill’s allegations against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, the same man whose party warns us of the dire consequences on the Supreme Court if the GOP wins, the same man who contributed mightily to the rush to war on Iraq, the same man who has for thirty-five years done the bidding of the rich and powerful, now wants our endorsement.

The Horrors of The U.S. Occupation of Iraq
Thursday, 02 October 2008
by Larry Jones
Even before the recent financial crisis, 80% of U.S. voters were
expressing serious dissatisfaction with the war on Iraq. But somehow the endless, unjust war and occupation of Iraq have been virtually removed as an "election issue". To the (very limited) extent either major candidate or the mainstream media discuss the situation in Iraq, it is to debate whether Bush's "surge" is "working", and to comment on the reduction of violence in Iraq.But the fact is that the U.S. occupation has been an endless horror for the people of Iraq. it is also continuing to present the occupiers with challenges of sustaining a fragile political stability on the country, and many of the measures the U.S. has taken for short term "stabilization" may undermine the more long term U.S. goals.

No Bailout For Wall Street Profiteers!
Monday, 29 September 2008
By Elaine Brower In New York City the downtown area was on fire yesterday. At lunchtime
over 2,000 workers from various unions protested the Bush plan to bail
out Wall Street, after making bad investments for the last 5 years.
Hard hats, transit workers, machinists, teachers and other labor
unionists railed against the U.S. government's proposed bailout of Wall
Street on Thursday in a protest steps from the New York Stock Exchange. Several hundred protesters yelled their enthusiastic support as
union leaders decried a proposed $700 billion plan aimed at
reinvigorating the credit markets by relieving financial institutions
of distressed debt.
