A decade ago, in the run up to the war w. Iraq, hundreds of thousands took to the streets in New York and cities all across the country and the world … and war happened anyway.
But was before occupy.
Our creativity, our new way of thinking about protesting, and our crowdsourcing of ideas that make us collectively so much greater than the individual sum of our parts came into being.
If a new world is in fact possible, if we are in fact Unstoppable, we need to leverage our might and bring into being a new type of protest campaign that staves off a war with Iran; that in fact, reverses the homicidal bull in a geopolitical china shop that is US foreign policy altogether and replaces it with a world that places human needs – here and elsewhere above corporate greed.
Discuss. Come together. Act.

With The 100K to MILLIONS of UN/DEREMPLOYED in the Streets! Where?
David E. Sanger and William Broad are the new Judith Millers at the NYTimes, continuing to twist the truth so as to beat the drums for war. They write as if somehow they have proof of Iran’s intentions to build a nuclear bomb, whereas Iranians insist that they are developing a fully civilian nuclear power program. The more efforts the Iranians make to preserve the option to develop nuclear energy, like protecting their fuel factories underground in the face of threats from other nations to bomb these factories, the more the Iranians are misrepresented as building nuclear bombs. Sanger & Broad appear to only write for one reason: to convince reluctant Americans that they must once again go to war over non-existent WMDs promoted by shameless media shills:
