The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

AWAY TO INDIA

  Posted by PicasaMay Beth and I leave on September 30 for a two-week trip to India. We will return on October 14. I doubt that I will be able to update the blog while on the trip but if possible I will try to do so.

We will be visiting five Indian cities on behalf of the Global Network. We look forward to the trip and will be reporting on it once back.

In the meantime the U.S. Congress has caved into the Bush administration on the torture bill. This legislation will give Bush the ability to round up activists like you and me and to deport us without any legal representation or trial. This bill is similar to legislation that was used prior to World War I when Emma Goldman and other activists were deported for handing out leaflets against war and urging people not to register for the draft. So we now have a full blown dictatorship. It must be acknowledged that Democrats in significant numbers joined with the right-wing Republicans in Congress to overwhelmingly pass this reactionary legislation. If you needed any further evidence of the bankruptcy of the Democrats than this should do it for you.

See you after I return from India. In the meantime, hit the streets while you still can.
