A SHORT DIGEST OF LAST WEEKEND'S ANTI - WAR DEMONSTRATIONS!

THE RESISTANCE WILL NOT BE TELEVISED

Joshua Frank, a Free State fellow in Montana, wrote a devastating critique of Howard Dean on the important Counterpunch web site called, “The Selling (Out) of the Antiwar Movement.” This site should be bookmarked by both worried conservative and radical liberal for its clearly written sharp content.

Go to: http://www.counterpunch.org/frank03242005.html and maybe prepare an evaluation of Dean’s much ballyhooed sash shay through Topeka and Lawrence, Ks. last month. We know some of our readers attended the events as well as John Edward’s appearance. We’d like to hear from you at the Flyer about this, after you read the above article. Feel free to post an anonymous comment.

A general report on opposition activities to the Iraq war over the weekend from the widely read: http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0320-05.htm

The argument over anti – war tactics spills out on to liberal talk radio just days before the nationwide actions!
Eyeball the arguments and actors.

Anyone listening to the chatter traffic couldn’t fail to notice the very loud debate that exploded on Air America Radio’s “Unfiltered” last week when Paul Rieckhoff of the “Manhattan-based Operation Truth” started leveling charges against the sponsors that organized the demonstrations outside Ft. Bragg.

Go to the formidable GNN: http://www.guerrillanews.com/articles/1225/Fayetteville_Diary to get an ‘on the ground’ report about the charges that it was the wrong place to demonstrate. And at the end of the GNN article is a link to the raging argument. Got an opinion? Post a comment.

Another great video news clip from Truthout.org!

From the folks that gave Kansans and the world the hilarious country curmudgeon M. T. Liggett of Mullinville, Ks. during their “Red State Road Trip.” Truthout.org has produced another timely report. This is what the peoples’ news media is all about, non commercial and popular!

Here are quick interviews directly in front of the army post gates with veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan war zones listing with internet contacts. The file takes a while to download, but is well worth the wait.

Truthout.org Chris Hume and Scott Galindez have again produced a very powerful and well edited video program from Fayetteville, North Carolina this last March 19th ! Thanks, Truthout! Click the link below and watch this eye opening short report. http://www.truthout.org/multimedia.htm
