Sheehan: US political leadership corrupt
Press TV
Saturday, July 26, 2008
Cindy Sheehan icon of the global anti war movement, says that US leadership has been corrupted by not opposing Bush’s polices on the Iraq war and torture.
In an exclusive interview with a Press Tv correspondent Cindy Sheehan criticized the Democratic dominated congress for not impeaching President Bush for waging a war with Iraq based on lies.
Sheehan also said that since she started her protest against the war in 2005, American public opinion has drastically changed; Bush’s approval rating is now at its lowest since Iraq’s invasion.
(Article continues below)
When Sheehan was asked about Iran’s nuclear issues, she replied that Iran is a sovereign country that is entitled to peaceful nuclear energy for civilian purpose, whereas US and Israel are countries in possession of nuclear arsenals.
Sheehan’s son, Casey was killed during his service in Iraq. She attracted international attention in August 2005 for her permanent demonstration at a camp outside of Bush’s Texas ranch. In May 2007, Sheehan officially ended her involvement as an anti-war activist.
On July of 2007 after President Bush’s commuted the sentence of Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff Scooter Libby, Sheehan announced that she plans to challenge speaker Nancy Pelosi as an independent, because Pelosi pointedly failed to introduce articles of impeachment against President Bush.

Bush wanted Saddam dead for his dad. Bush wanted the ME for his dad and all his family of billionaire/trillionaire mobsters (Royal Families of EU, Kissinger, et al.). Bush wanted the Defacto Prez David Rockefeller to have his wet dream come true — Disneyland forever and ever in Dubai land, the Middle Eastern new birth of paradise for the Zionists. They all had wants and their wants trumped the reality that human beings are living energies with INALIENABLE RIGHTS. The internet is the wild card and the minds of fossilized ideas did not anticipate that humanity has evolved while they have devolved.

Of course the US government is corrupt, Judy. All governments are, simply because they are all funded with both stolen [via taxes] and counterfeit [ centralized, government run fractional reserve banking systems]. It is entirely impossible for them to be anything other thab corrupt. http://www.onebornfree.blogspot.com/

US fascism and Imperialism are nothing new. In 1898, the US government blew up their own battleship, the Maine, in Havanna Harbor and blamed it on Spain. The US used this as an excuse to declare war and subsequently take Cuba, the Philippines, and Guam away from Spain.
The USA promised ‘liberation’ to the Philippinos, but instead brought military occupation, with 125,000 US troops sent to the Philippines. In the Phillippine/American War, which was full uf atrocities committed by the US troops, including the massacre of whole villages, 4,136 US troops, between 12,000 and 20,000 Philppiono insurgents, and between 200,000 and 1.5 million Philippino civilians were killed. (The ambiguous range of Philppino deaths is a matter of who does the calculations, the Americans or the Philippinos.)
The current US occupation of Iraq is a redux of the Philippine/American War, which started with the USA’s false flag bombing of the Maine, and ended with a brutal occupation of the Philippines by US troops.

I am glad to see this article about Cindy Sheehan. For some time now I have been asking what happened to her since her last interview on the Alex Jones Show months and months ago and I have never seen anyone in any of these forums even chance an answer. That is when she claimed that she was going to run against turncoat Pelosi this year. I do hope she now follows through. If not, then even though she can be excused since many things can change one’s plans in such a period of time, she would seem more like a user to me as she originally did until she said that she finally felt used herself during that interview. You see, I understand that grief is handled in many different ways, but her relentless media stance, an almost obsession over our dictator-in-charge, Bush, seemed totally going too far, except for that “15 minutes of fame” she ultimately enjoyed.
Anyway, I agree with the idea that if she does run, which I would think she should be on a ballot by now, she should be back on the Alex Jones Show and Alex should ask to have us back her up.
Pelosi is a turncoat as well as all the others who have been proving themselves to be that way also, especially after this proclaimed “non”impeachment hearing of Dennis Kucinich’s, a daring man. No one being held accountable? Everyone listens to them knowing they are all breaking our laws and laws of the land, meaning our Constitution. Investigation demands and at this time investigations themselves are a joke!

Yes corruption is more than obvious but there will be a day when people stand up and demand honest leaders.We all need to awake to the lies that are repeated time after time.
Peace is the only true outcome for humanity
Greed must end
Peace to everyone

The most valuable skill we need is recognition of the Sociobiology of Sociopathy. Do your own research, in the world of the psychopath, consequence simply does not exist just as the government is never responsible for unethical behavior. The psychopath is intent on winning, and doesn’t possess a conscience no fear, shame. A picture is forming of a deliberately contrived society of televised conformity, literate and creative inadequacy, and social unrest and decadence. It is apparent that the media is in charge of propagating these conditions, and the media is controlled by what?
Capitalistic, competitive Economics. There is much evidence to support the idea that this purpose, or the object of this manipulation, is to create psychological and social disunity – social psychopathy – sufficient to permit the instituting of a totalitarian government at the behest of the people.
July 26th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
On the whole, a capacity to cheat, to compete and to lie has proven to be a stupendously successful adaptation. Thus the idea that selection pressure could ever cause saintliness to spread in a society looks implausible in practice.
And so it is that identifying the psychopath, ceasing our interaction with them, cutting them off from our society, making ourselves unavailable to them as “food” or objects to be conned and used, is the single most effective strategy that we can play.

Well Vic, were going to have to wait awhile. I’m betting there aren’t enough citizen in this country willing to risk it all for a little thing called freedom but stranger things have happened.

Rhonda:
I saw Cindy Sheehan speak in Portland, Oregon last fall. Sometimes it’s easier to assess the genuineness of a person when you see them in person. I was very impressed by Sheehan’s character and sincerity. I might disagree with her on this or that issue, but I totally trust her integrity. That was at a time when she had finally realized that the corruption of the US government is so total that it CANNOT be repaired from within, through elections or the political process. I came to that same conclusion many, many years ago.
Elections, the political process, and peaceful demonstrations will not end the fascism in the US government. The only thing that will is a shooting, burning, French Style Revolution, including many thousands of public executions on the Washington Mall. All persons of wealth are the enemy, and all must be dragged from their homes and their cars to face the people’s justice. Anything less is pissing into the wind.
July 26th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Ken: I expect that before the US Revolution must come the US economic collapse. There are ways to hurry both of these necessary events along. Use your imagination.
July 26th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
Sheehan is an idiot, or a fool, or quite possibly both.
How can anyone expect one side (Democrat or Republican) to be different from the other? They’re both boxers in a ring where everything is fixed. The audience is expected to keep their eyes on the spectacle and not look around at who is playing with the clock, and see who is flashing signs at the two pugilists. Nope, no one is supposed to see the money changing hands.
Yeah, keep cheering for your “Champ” Sheehan.
I hope one day you wake up and actually stand outside the arena and look at the big picture.

Catman:
Did you even read the article?
“In an exclusive interview with a Press Tv correspondent Cindy Sheehan criticized the Democratic dominated congress for not impeaching President Bush for waging a war with Iraq based on lies.”
Last summer Sheehan was saying that she had been disappointed, thwarted and betrayed so many times by the Dems that she finally realized that they were no better than the Pubs. That was a central theme in the talk she gave last fall in Portland, Oregon.
Catman, how come you didn’t travel to Washington DC on your own dime to attend the hearings? Sheehan was the only one there who protested loud enough to get thrown out. How and when are you sticking your own neck out to protest? Try to learn more about the brave and committed people who are fighting your battles for you before you diss them because of your own ignorance.

Cindy Sheehan and Naomi Wolfe, who are WOMEN, are the only public figures who are going around speaking the truth —
that elections and the political process
cannot and will not reestablish freedom and justice in the USA, and that the USA needs a Revolution to do that.
Show me anyone so far, well known as Sheehan and Wolfe are, who’ve shown the courage to tell it like it is?
Okay, there’s Eminem. You got me there.
But from what I’ve seen so far,
most US so-called ‘Liberals’ and ‘leftists’ really are
what the fascists say they are: spineless whimps.
I’m not saying you should go postal tonight;
I’m just saying get your weapons ready to join the fight. And ’til then, stand up and shout in the fascists’ faces that you plan to KILL THEM. Maybe tomorrow. So we all can hear you.

Sheehan for president!
July 27th, 2008 at 4:22 am
It is now about 90-plus days before the election and Sheehan is not on the ballot yet, to say nothing of putting on a ‘campaign’ complete with TV ads, etc. Too bad! Pelosi is a bona fide enemy of the American people. She is a full-time employe of Israel. There will be no ‘revolution’ in a solidly middle-class country like the United States. Freedom has already been subtly stripped away. There will be grousing and complaining and electing he or she who gives the most money to the TV stations, the ‘winner’ to then go to Washington with his hand out to the lobbyists with the most money.
July 27th, 2008 at 4:47 am
Sheehan wouldnt win, merely because shes a human being, a salt of the earth american citizen, with no family connections, unlike the Bush-Clinton Cartel.
July 27th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
it is the men and women of the world who must stand and say enough is enough. we will no longer hand over our sons and daughters over as pawns in your games of war and violence that benefit the few and harm many. die if need be so they can live. which exactly is happening only accelerated to oppress the truth.
