Things are desperate in the cloudy heights of power now days. You can feel it in the acceleration of greed for the vestiges of remaining resources, the use of force and the naked criminality that taunts us with their disdain for common decency or humanity.

We see a government led into serving the wealth despite the plight of a ravaged manufacturing base and crumbling infrastructure that the roach droppings at the top WANT to fail so we can privatize the rebuild and distribution of all life supporting services. If this man's message about NAFTA GATT FAST TRACT etc ever creeps out from the heavy media blind spot the you can believe the people will show their disapproval of our current tax supported train wreck of an economy. How do you think the major stock owning families feeeeeel about Dennis Kucinich?

To believe that he wouldn't be targeted would be naive.

How can we as a people, prevent the standard practice of last measure recourse in the from of assassination?<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Ho do we protect Dennis Kucinich?\r\n\r\nIn the off chance that many people work together to spread his platform and overcome the media curtain and if the vote manipulations can be minimized, barring martial law being used...","numcomment":12,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2003\/12\/98665.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":104003,"heading":"The Best Way to Protect President Kucinich is . . .","article":"Vice President Sharpton","author":"FluxRostrum","parent_id":98665,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-02-29 09:05:43","modified":"2004-02-29 09:05:43","fileurl":""},{"id":98670,"heading":"fresca","article":"You've got to be.

The "Kucinich for President" campaign has got to be the biggest joke since Pat Paulsen started running for that office in the late 60s. He's no threat to the system, that's for sure.

His campaign wouldn't be a joke in a country where the citizens had a political IQ above zero, but he's definitely a voice in the wilderness in modern Amerika.

I couldn't believe the treatment Nader got in 2000, either, (both from the media and the Democrats) although I shouldn't have been surprized. A good friend of mine for more than 30 years (since high school) is gaga for Howard Dean, and when I pointed out to him how "centrist" and Clinton-like Dean is, he stopped communicating with me. I find it very difficult to avoid sinking into chronic despair these days.

Last spring, our antiwar yard sign merited a 9PM visit, on a Saturday night, by a police officer who "kindly" informed my wife and I that we were upsetting some of our flag waving neighbors. He suggested that we consider taking it down, but conceded that he couldn't force us to do that because of our constitutional rights - the same rights that are now hanging by a thread in this era of The Department of Homeland Security and the "Patriot Act." We owe it to future generations to do everything we can to stop this slide into the dark night of fascism, no matter how overwhelming the odds against us seem to be. \r\n\r\n"In Germany, they first came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.\u201d \r\n- Pastor Martin Niemoeller\r\nhttp:\/\/www.victorshepherd.on.ca\/Heritage\/Niemoeller.htm ","author":"SkullnBonz","parent_id":98665,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-12-29 12:45:32","modified":"2013-11-11 00:28:12","fileurl":""}]}
