No More Drones
November 17, 2009In Syracuse, New York this weekend, about 250 people gathered to protest drone aircraft, controlled from the Hancock Air National Guard Base. Among them were Kathy Kelly, Daniel and Jerry Berrigan. Drone aircraft strikes in Afghanistan and Pakistan have increased under the Obama administration.Sex, Lies and Sarah Palin, Amy Goodman, and Fighting Drones
November 16, 2009Sarah Palin's book, Going Rogue: An American Life, comes out tomorrow, and the corporate media has been all Palin, all the time. We wonder just what it is about the former Alaskan governor that keeps people coming back for more. Is it her folksy ways, her sex appeal, her gender, or her willingness to completely disregard the advice of well-intentioned handlers?Essential Dissent: Syracuse Protests Wealthcare
November 10, 2009Protesters in Syracuse, New York protested for single-payer, "Medicare for All" outside of Wellpoint last week. They spoke out against the proposed mandate and subsidies for private insurance companies in the coming health care reform bill. The arrest of one protester and the picket line were captured on video byWilton Vought of Essential Dissent, as well as commentary by an Iraq veteran, who points out that more people die from lack of health care each year than died on 9/11.Today's Veterans, Micha Kurz and Health Care
November 9, 2009Veterans Day is this week, and the shootings at Fort Hood this week brought to the forefront many questions about soldiers and military personnel: how are soldiers surviving the wars, and readjusting to life at home? What are we doing to help them, and is it enough? With the war in Iraq supposedly winding down and the war in Afghanistan ratcheting up, it's time to take a serious look at some of these questions, and try to understand the role that the military plays in all of our lives.
