FeetToDaFire commented on the diary post Thanks For Nothin: A Cartoon About OWS by FeetToDaFire.
In my perusing, I’m surprised I missed the Cyber-Snuggly. There are so many good ones. As I didn’t give him credit in my post, I will here: The cartoonist’s name is Mark Fiore . He is super astute about politics and raises people’s awareness painlessly with fun animations. For his efforts he was awarded the Pulitizer Prize [...]

FeetToDaFire commented on the diary post Thanks For Nothin: A Cartoon About OWS by FeetToDaFire.
Glad to give you some more ammunition for your conversations with your friends. After watching this cartoon, I decided to spend a few minutes to check out some others. I ended up spending more than an hour watching many (a worthy way to procrastinate on the other work I needed to do). I ended up [...]

FeetToDaFire commented on the diary post Breaking the Silence that Surrounds Bradley Manning by Brian Sonenstein.
I have the site Our World Report and I would love to have something that will promote this. The “easy to use tool” comes up with a “page not found” message.
This is critically important, not just for Bradley but for all of us.

FeetToDaFire wrote a new diary post: What? Scott Walker Lied?
http://youtu.be/sX69a45LFLI Governor Walker of Wisconsin has said all along that his “Budget Adjustment Bill” was not about union busting. This video of him talking with Beloit, Wisconsin Billionaire, Diane Hendrix reveals what the real deal is. Ms Hendricks has been a major contributor to Walker’s campaign. It seems doubtful that this will have much impact [...]

I find myself posting about stuff that is on the continuum between enraging and depressing. So, in the interest of having a little fun, I offer you this tidbit. Enjoy:

FeetToDaFire commented on the diary post Has Occupy Been Designated a Terrorist Group? Welcome Back Cointelpro! by firebagger.
The government can now “justify” infiltrating Occupy as a known terrorist group. My concern is in what way the NDAA will play into this.

FeetToDaFire commented on the diary post Rumsfeld: Incompetent Or Evil Mastermind? by FeetToDaFire.
My premise was that he either passed on getting bin Laden because he was incompetent or it was because he recognized that the consequences of getting him were far-reaching. The latter would mean he knew the likely result of having bin Laden at large: a long term Afghan occupation & a not needing to take [...]

FeetToDaFire commented on the diary post ‘Shame on You’: Why I Interrupted Obama Counter-Terrorism Adviser John Brennan by codepink.
Medea- I watched the video of your words and actions. Your heart may have been pounding but you appeared totally poised and composed. You very calmly… kicked-ass and instantly became a hero of mine.

FeetToDaFire commented on the diary post ‘Shame on You’: Why I Interrupted Obama Counter-Terrorism Adviser John Brennan by codepink.
Because the US is like the bully on the playground. They don’t speak out for fear of repercussions. For example, the US stopped funding a worthy UN organization because they had the audacity to voice support for the recognition of Palestine. The offense wasn’t so much on the issue of Palestinian statehood but that they [...]

Crap, my bad. I forgot the mantra of the Corporatists.

FeetToDaFire wrote a new diary post: Rumsfeld: Incompetent Or Evil Mastermind?
On Tuesday May 1st, former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was interviewed on Fox “News.” In the interview he said that President Obama couldn’t be credited with making a difficult decision when he authorized the raid in Pakistan that resulted in the killing of Osama bin Laden. Why he would say that illegally violating a [...]

FeetToDaFire commented on the diary post MLK: Most Courageous Speech by FeetToDaFire.
You are very welcome. It just seems totally appropriate that we revisit Dr. Kings prophetic words right at this moment. Reading it was very powerful. However, I went to youtube and found an audio recording of it and hearing him speak the words gave me goosebumps and nearly brought me to tears. I am hesitant [...]

FeetToDaFire commented on the diary post MLK: Most Courageous Speech by FeetToDaFire.
With the advent of the Internet it is relatively easy to find out what the government did and why. It is sort of amazing that Dr. King had such clear insight about US empire building and militarism in defense of business interests and profits. So much understanding is alluded to with his mention of South [...]

FeetToDaFire commented on the diary post MLK: Most Courageous Speech by FeetToDaFire.
This is such a strong statement of what must be done to realign priorities from greed and militarism to one of common cause and brotherhood. 45 years and it is more important than ever.

FeetToDaFire wrote a new diary post: MLK: Most Courageous Speech
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. has been quoted countless times and has become a nearly sainted icon around the world. Not without good reason. However, few remember (or care to remember) that from April, 1967 until his death exactly 1 year later, he was demonized, called a communist by the New York Times. 55% of blacks [...]

FeetToDaFire commented on the diary post A vote for Pres Obama…! by SenatorGovernment.
I am no fan of Obama and the truth is he has done some hideous things. However, to suggest that in general he is worse than Bush2 is stretching the point a bit. NDAA is the greatest threat to freedom the US has ever faced & clearly worse than anything Bush2 ever did. He signed [...]

FeetToDaFire commented on the diary post Grandmother and the Threading of the Beads by walkinboots.
Walkinboots, this is the first of your stories I have read. It accomplished just what you intended… a breather from the concerns of the day. It also had a core truth that will enhance my actions, at least for a time. Hopefully, at a point when I slip into a more chaotic thought based realm, [...]

FeetToDaFire wrote a new diary post: An Officer, a Gentleman… and a Hero
Some of you may not be aware of a report by Lt. Colonel Daniel Davis, an active duty US Army officer who has had four tours in Iraq and Afghanistan starting in 2005. His latest was a tour in Afghanistan 2010 – 2011. He created 2 reports, one classified and one unclassified. I have read only [...]
