With the Afghanistan war going so poorly there has been an outpouring of emotions, an LA artist decided to make a mural depicting a dollar draped over a casket on a side of a building. Many believe this is revolting but some like Founder of Brave New Films Robert Greenwald says this indicates how brilliant the Pentagon has been at increasing censorship, so anything that goes against their propaganda will be shot down or in this case covered up.

1. I've long suspected that one of the reasons the PTB wrecked the economy is so they have desperate
volunteers for their ENDLESS WARS. :grr:

3. Action to Remove Corporate Influence in Campaign Financing
Let's reform the campaign finance system so corporate money,
corporate media bias, and corporate corruption of vote
getting and vote counting are nullified. Here's a petition
for that:

4. There is no doubt
we have an "economic draft." This insures that the wealthy/elite do not have to "serve" in the armed forces. These "wars" are pitiful too, we invade and occupy two of the poorest nations in the world. Talk about deadly bullies. We bully our young people financially and foreign countries by killing their citizens.
"I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free????????????" :sarcasm:

5. Thank you Mr. Greenwald! We must invest in jobs, not rape, plunder and murder of our planet mates.

6. He is another American hero, who has been on the ground in
Afghanistan reporting facts not propaganda, and who, like many of us, was hoping for a change of policy under this administration, only to be disappointed.

His website is a must bookmark for real news on Afghanistan, he actually talks to the PEOPLE there.
