Push the DSM buzz ALL THE WAY. How far? We can end American wars! Look:
Edited on Wed Jun-08-05 01:34 AM by PsyOpsRunsOurCountry
When you've got the ball, you run it as far down the field as possible. We can expose the entire 60 year-old war-profiteering scam this time!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=3808019&mesg_id=3808019
(Tonight I heard Mike Malloy mention this topic on his show at 10:08PST. I think he saw this thread and passed it on. Cool.
My terse subject line isn't resignation. It is a spur to tell the WHOLE truth of how we got into this mess so it never happens again.)

There are thousands of hydrogen bombs targeted on cities ready to be launched by accident. We've come within seconds of ending life on Earth multiple times and RECENTLY. Don't wait for 2008 or 2012 to start preventing the Armageddon the fundies are wishing for.

Yes, this DSM flap will make bigger cracks in the GOP which is ready to splinter, FINALLY.

Yes, more and more Americans are getting better informed about how this war was SOLD as a "slamdunk" when it was all just lies and spin.

Yes, this will cinch the bad 'gut' feeling the casual spectators have about this heavily spun war.

Yes, this DSM will recharge the outrage and grassroots organizing to get REAL Dems back into the party instead of dribbling away.

These 'yeses' are fabulous steps that absolutely need to be made and the DSM should be waved like a bloody flag in everyone's face until they GET IT.

No, don't go "down a bunny hole into an underground sea of red herrings." The DSM really can be catalyzed into a BIGGER realization of
-who got us into this mess
-why they did it
-how they did it
-how long this scam has been goin' on
so it isn't just repackaged for resale again 'under new management.'

THIS 'Vietnam Syndrome' must be made to stick so we can turn this permanent war-profiteering machine off and literally save the world from its myriad poisons while we still have air to breathe, water to drink, and fish in the sea.

Is this realistic? Isn't war a permanent human condition?
HELL NO! Look here.

The short time between the end of the Korean War, 1953, and the anti-Vietnam protests of 1968 was a MERE 15 years! And this was after the 'Great War,' WWII, 'The Big One.'

An entire generation of American youth decided that, not just the Vietnam war, but WAR was no longer an answer, not even a "last resort." And it took incrementally larger 'actions' and then 9/11 to get Americans back into accepting long wars as some kind of solution.

Imagine that! 15 short years! At the height of the Cold War!

So war is not a permanent problem. It can be ended pdq by Americans before their government finishes off the ecosystems life depends on.

The nukes are sitting there ready to end our story BY ACCIDENT.
We don't have another 15 years to stop this madness and murder.

A chance for peace? To save us from annihilation?
GO FOR IT! GET THE WHOLE TRUTH OUT!

1. One problem.....
Edited on Wed Jun-08-05 01:30 AM by LightningFlash
None of that can happen if the voting machines aren't dealt with. Make sure to pressure for true, free, electoral reform. http://www.banvotingmachines.org

4. Actually, exposing the CIA Mockingbird Lie Factory is more important.
Edited on Wed Jun-08-05 03:30 AM by PsyOpsRunsOurCountry
Having accurate voting machines is no help if people vote based on the Lie Factory, right?

But even with BBV which is in place now, if people know about the CIA's Operation Mockingbird Lie Factory, they won't send their kids to war and they'll HEAR the warnings about the environment, GM foods, nuclear power, and many many other crucial topics.

This will put huge pressure on politicians when their constituencies are reaching for torches and pitchforks.

Knowing the truth about the mess we're in will lead to our evolving socially and choosing to behave in very different ways towards each other and the planet.

Yes, even with corrupt voting machines.

But let's fix the damn machines, too, of course!

5. The CIA officials must be held accountable.
The far right CIA officials in the CFR must all be held accountable to their slanderous corporate media, the lies and coverups, and all of the gross misquotes they have made for over 10 years.

But that will not happen until the voting machines are fixed.

7. Urgent! 6/9 Deadline in CA to fight off Diebold/ESS at 6/16 hearings .

Fight 'bad intelligence' at every level. Black Box Voting is being used by the GropenFuhrer to attack California.

Rigged elections and rigged journalists are tools to MAINTAIN permanent war-profiteering. These issues are linked.

Broward Vote-Counting Blunder Changes Amendment Result 11/4/04

"The software is not geared to count more than 32,000 votes in a precinct. So what happens when it gets to 32,000 is the software starts counting backward," said Broward County Mayor Ilene Lieberman.

That means that Amendment 4 passed in Broward County by more than 240,000 votes rather than the 166,000-vote margin reported Wednesday night. That increase changes the overall statewide results in what had been a neck-and-neck race, one for which recounts had been going on today. But with news of Broward's error, it's clear amendment 4 passed.

Officials said the glitch did not affect the outcome of any other races. The vote-counting error did affect totals for amendments 4 through 8. But amendment 4 was the only race for which the corrected numbers changed the result.

Lieberman admits that the error is an embarrassing mistake.

"I think the people have a right to expect that when the numbers come up on screen that those numbers in fact the actual total numbers at each step of the process and not just after the final vote has been certified," Lieberman said.
