Revolutionary Moments…

July 8, 2015  

usuncut





Ronnie Reagan, George Herbert Walker Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Jon Ellis (JEB) Bush and Bernie Sanders are ALL on the same page when it comes to Gaza, wars of choice, capitalism and the military-industrial complex.

If you want more war, then vote for the corporate core:  Republicans support the Fortune 500 and brag about it…  and the Democrats support the same cons and used to lie about it.  But this week, Obama and the Democrats threw us under the bus.  checkout the rest:

Salt and Terror in Afghanistan

by Kathy Kelly

In late January in a room in Kabul, Afghanistan, I joined several dozen people, working seamstresses, some college students, socially engaged teenagers and a few visiting internationals like myself, to discuss world hunger. Our emphasis was not exclusively on their own country’s worsening hunger problems. The Afghan Peace Volunteers, in whose home we were meeting, draw strength from looking beyond their own very real struggles.

Communications Workers of America        · 

The votes have been counted, and all 21 Iowa CWA public sector bargaining units have voted overwhelmingly to keep their union! The vote was a massive, resounding win for Iowa CWAers against a Republican governor and state legislature that have been determined to gut workers' rights. Iowa workers are showing that they are willing to fight to keep their rights and have a voice on the job!

A new Black Panther documentary is about to hit theaters nationwide. And that's a good thing, because Americans generally doesn't wake up to anything unless they see it in a movie first.

In this light, check out this free documentary on the life and death of Fred Hampton, leader of the Illinois Black Panther Party who was murdered by Chicago police on Dec. 4, 1969 in collusion with the FBI's COINTEL program. Peoria Black Panther leader Mark Clark was also killed by police in that raid.
