All the Motivation I Need I will be emceeing a war protest in Portland tomorrow, which will probably mean speaking in front of a couple of thousand people. I think I can do it fine, but if I feel stage fright, I'm going to think of this video. Warning: it contains some really gutwrenching/heartbreaking images of injured and dead Iraqi children. (And I love this Foo Fighters song.)

watching it now
i fixed it so it appears... it wasn't showing up before!  you'll do great btw!! let me remember to send you the Kovel book...
Thanks!
I'm on my way out the door and I wasn't even paying attention
BTW, that is a previous demo in Portland. This one is not expected to be that big.
how'd it go?
Hey Casseia - What's the report from Portland - do u think u did ok?
ah just saw your post under the other thread - looking fwd to hearing about it.
report back, cass!!
enquiring minds want to know!
Yes, I will
have to write a short paper for "Linguistics and Cognitive Science" today before I write any kind of narrative. But it was great, I wore a tee shirt with the truthaction logo, and I made a couple of brief but direct remarks about 9/11. At one point, I was following a speaker who was a former Black Panther and addressing the case of Patrice Lumumba Ford, one of the "Portland Six" who were persuaded by this other mysterious dude (who is still missing but presumed dead... yeah, right) that they should try to go to Afghanistan to provide humanitarian aid to other Muslims. They were busted, and Lumumba Ford is now in prison for 18 years. (They did in fact go to China, but were unable to enter Afghanistan.) Anyhoo, this was one of the points where I made a brief but direct statement along the lines of "I see some 9/11 Truth signs in the crowd and that's great. I encourage you all to research 9/11 for yourselves, and if you're like me, you will conclude that it was an act that was PINNED on Arabs and Muslims, and now people like Lumumba Ford are paying the price."
One sort of serendipitous thing that came out of this was that I made some good connections with the Freedom Socialist Party people here. (They're feminist and anti-racist socialists.) I don't think I could ever be part of their group and sell newspapers, nor do I fully agree with their historical analysis and political theory, but they're a really friendly, highly motivated group. Through conversations with me and my buddy Petros, they're more open to 9/11 Truth than before and more importantly, they are going to be really staunch allies in dealing with the right-wing take-over of the Portland Truth group.Â
sounds like a success
This weekend I made some inroads with three young people who were at Harvard to attend a PETA conference. They saw me sitting with my truth now sign and came over to ask me about it. I explained to them the basics and gave them flyers, and when I found out they were with PETA it was easy to establish a rapport based on our similar status as misunderstood, passionate advocates. I conceded that I, like many, knew the truth about factopry farming but avoided thinking about it too much because of my love of meat, at which point I realized that people avoid the truth about 9/11 for similar reasons--not wanting to spoil a good thing, in the sense that their world view is going to be made unfamiliar and frightening if they think too much about 9/11. They gave me some neat stickers and we parted ways, hopefully each ready to consider (anew in my case) what the other had to say about an issue that they believe to be crucially important...
I love meat too, but
about 12 years ago a friend of mine told me about the many benefits of vegetarianism; for your health, your karma (if you believe in that), for the environment, for the rest of mankind, and for the animals themselves.
I decided to try it and at first it seemed like I had so much more energy, that I decided to keep doing it. There have been times when it's difficult, and I'm not religious about it but I've only had a few bites of mammal since.
I love meat too, but I think I love animals even more. And for the amount I suffer by abstaining from meat, I benefit from knowing that I'm not helping to finance the absolute horrendous life that many livestock lead in this day and age. You can rationalize it, but things aren't the way they're supposed to be, when a chicken lives its whole life crammed in a box so someone can eat cheap mcnuggets. Plus if you have a balanced diet, you don't need meat - most people really are better off without it.
(/soapbox )
oh yeah plus on plane flights, when you order (ahead of time) vegetarian food, you usually get served first & with better quality food in my experience. good deal :)
Here's a video narrated by
Here's a video narrated by Joaquin Phoenix on the way human beings treat animals (in our current time and place, anyway). It's called "Earthlings". Probably the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. You couldn't pay me to watch it again. That's an interesting analogy you draw RT about not wanting to look at the evidence. The tagline for this film is something like "the most important film no one wants to watch".

Well, I took the plunge, but I still eat meat, sorry to say. It's a tough addiction to kick.
