    I Am Spartacus wrote a new diary post: WordPress, Used by This Site, Censors Antiwar Views

    2011-09-03 07:06:40View | Delete


     

    ” WordPress Suspends ‘Stop NATO’ news site” can be read at   http://www.antiwar.com/blog/2011/09/02/wordpress-suspends-stop-nato-news-site/

    Feel free to comment there.  Anyone know how to reach WordPress?

    Please excuse the bad link at the beginning–I’m still struggling with how to use this.  The URL is good to copy and paste, though.

    I apologize for my sloppiness. I have corrected this piece. It is inexcusable, and I will try to be more careful in future. Thank you, golconda2.

    2011-08-28 10:44:46View | Delete

    I agree that voting for one of the “minors” is a useful thing to do, considering that otherwise we’re caught in the moment best summed up in the movie Blade Runner–when Harrison Ford, who has been dragged in by his former boss in the LAPD, is told that if he doesn’t come back to work [...]

    I Am Spartacus wrote a new diary post: GI’s Widow to Dick Rumsfeld: “He’s Dead Because You Lied”

    2011-08-28 10:33:45View | Delete

    As reported in today’s Tacoma News Tribune and the veteran-run antiwar Coffee Strong , Ashley Joppa-Hagemann and Coffee Strong’s executive Director, Jorge Gonzalez, were “removed” from a Dick Rumsfeld book signing on Friday.  The event was held at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and when Ms. Joppa-Hagemann handed her book to Rumsfeld, she told him that her husband–who had recently [...]

    I Am Spartacus commented on the diary post Is A Flea Circus A Good Idea ? by milesscott.

    2011-08-27 06:45:19View | Delete

    Maybe I’m the only one who recognizes the cruelty here, most blatant in the item #3, where the fleas try to escape a heated floor (but can’t). It is our contempt for other beings different from us and of course inferior, that has produced a world in which other species (trash) are being decimated, and [...]

    As usual, the Greens maintain the values that the Democrats should…but don’t.

    2011-08-24 17:09:30View | Delete

    Thanks to all. I want you to know that I’m fully aware–and was, at the time of writing–that the Green Party is still a valid and valuable vehicle in some locales…and arguably still one that might prove its worth on the national level. I deliberately left this out in order to keep the argument “pure,” [...]

    I Am Spartacus commented on the diary post Will Obama Denounce MLK as Memorial Dedicated? by David Swanson.

    2011-08-24 17:06:56View | Delete

    Outstanding analysis. It’s not at all beyond Obomber to show he’s untainted by MLK’s pacifism.

    Brilliant analysis, Wendy. The best I’ve read here thusfar. Recommend.

    2011-08-24 08:29:00View | Delete

    For most of my political life–which means since high school, before I could vote–I’ve been pushing the idea of alternatives to the “two” major parties.   Often, this advocacy and activism has meant promoting the idea of a third (or, some of us would say, a second) party.  At various times, this has meant the endorsement [...]

    2011-08-23 11:45:38View | Delete

    That’s a mystery to me, as I just clicked it and it works fine. Any way of knowing why it doesn’t work for you? Naturally, I’m concerned that others might not be able to access it. Please let me know, if you have insight into this (I’m no computer whiz). Thanks.

    It seems that in the world of Beloved Leader, any kind of questioning or opposition to the permanent wars (aka “foreign policy”) of the United States is enough basis to warrant the concern of the FBI.  In recent days, Justin Raimondo , Antiwar.com’s leading columnist, brought attention to the fact that even this long-established right-wing site has [...]
