An excerpt (also linked here at CagePrisoners.Com) from ‘Time to Give up “Hope” and Think About Active Change Prisoners of the War on Terror‘ by Judy Bello in Counterpunch.Org, April 04, 2013 (my bold):
Dr. Aafia Siddiqui remains in Carswell FMC where she has been joined by Lynne Stewart, a 73 year old America lawyer who has selflessly defended the poor and the disenfranchised and those who have been fodder for the FBI terrorist franchise throughout her career. Lynne Stewart, convicted of a technical legal violation in her defense of one of her clients, was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison. Currently, she is suffering from stage 4 cancer, but the authorities say she cannot have a ‘compassionate release’ for treatment. It will only be available when they are sure she is going to die within a few months. I guess it is an equal opportunity victory that at least 2 women have joined the thousands of men tortured and persecuted in this War of Terror.
Of note is this graphic novel created by Christopher Towne and published at Justice For Aafia- A Graphic Novel.

mzchief commented on the blog post One Hundred Days of Hunger Striking at Guantanamo
Take a look at “Guantanamo is a great place to work (You get to torture people)!”
We also know:
+ Evidence suggests the Obama admin continued a cover-up of possible homicides of 3 prisoners at Gitmo in 2006 (Ref: http://www.ccrjustice.org/ourcases/current-cases/al-zahrani-v.-rumsfeld and http://harpers.org/archive/2010/03/the-guantanamo-suicides via Center for Constitutional Rights attorney, Pam Spees at @PamSpees)
+ “The guards’ accounts also reveal the existence of a previously unreported black site at Guantánamo” – excerpt from ‘The Guantánamo “Suicides”: A Camp Delta sergeant blows the whistle”‘ By Scott Horton in March 2010 issue of Harpers.Org at http://harpers.org/archive/2010/03/the-guantanamo-suicides
Today’s world-wide social media spot light on the peaceful demonstrators in front of the White House and the #GTMO17 Tweet storm has been noticed and has been trending world-wide. #TheWorldIsWatching and there is no where to hide.
If you are in Portland, Oregon you can join Brian Willson ( Democracy Now interview re “Blood on the Tracks” ; 16May2013 statement of indefinite hunger strike ’til GITMO is closed to VigilTV.Com), Veterans for Peace supporters (Jenica, Vice President for Veterans for Peace interview and statement on 16May2013) and others in front of City Hall 3 – 7 PM UTC−8:00 every day.
Why? Because “We need action now; otherwise, prisoners will die and the shame of a failed policy will only deepen.” – Frida Berrigan

Love how +billion-dollar profit-making hospital systems are “non-profit.” Also, the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships looks like a huge money/political-favor laundromat to me.

Now suppose you had a moment of road rage with that guy and it was your car he fired on. On shit! I only have 7 rounds thanks to Biden, Feinstein and Obama.
Great question. Last time I got threatened with a gun (one incident) and fired upon (another incident), I found another way to deal [...]

The 1% follow no rules and rig “money” and its other proxies with banking and legal slights of hand for the magical increase in value of the “money” if they hold it. Otherwise, they engineer the magical decrease in value of the “money” or it’s retrieval by brute force. The Space Program was used to get people to think computers were honest middlemen and never lied for the 1% while 1% stashed the assets and “money” in havens the central governments helped create. This situation of feudalism warmed over lasted possibly for awhile even longer than the 1% expected.
Some of the “top hits” via Nick Shaxson:
UK Tax chief waived £20m owed by Goldman Sachs ‘for fear of embarrassing chancellor’
“Big 4 accountants: here’s a rare photo of one of them taking a bribe for insider trading”
“Financial Media Celebrates Apple’s tax evasion, sorry, Bond Deal. Apple’s stashing $1bn offshore every WEEK”
“New US GAO report: US corporations got $181 bn in income tax breaks in 2011 — as much as they paid in taxes”
“Large numbers of hedge fund managers fiddle the stats on their own track records”
World’s 100 richest people posted enough last year to end world poverty 4X over.
In the end “money” and “things” mean nothing if you have no clean water, no suitable food, no health and no an ability to sustain a decent quality of life so the entire situation boils down to this.

Well this wasn’t a zombie but it was 37 rounds worth with an AK-47 which prompted 54 rounds fired by the police (10Mar2013 in Middlefield, Ohio). I vote for people over death AND profits!
