Being a peaceful person and being a pacifist are two different things. If you are a peaceful person you'll only attack when someone is attacking you, whereas a pacifist is naive enough to believe that you can always resolve everything with words. Not to mention that pacifists tend to be hypocritical liars, since they often react in violent ways when attacked.


Hence punching someone who pushed you from behind and called you a disgusting queer becomes the only solution, occasionally. Not the best for sure, but the only one you can find when you don't have the time to reason with your oppressor. Get real.

I hope this explains all the nonsense I've posted on that other thread better. Not that it really matters, anyway.

BULLETIN: Busted while reporting in Alexandria, Va.

3.18.09 / Wayne Madsen / Online Journal

(WMR) — This editor has covered the news in nasty dictatorships and corruption-ridden countries from Rwanda and Uganda to India and Thailand. I have also reported on journalists like our colleague John Caylor, who was arrested in Panama City, Florida, while trying to obtain public documents, pursuant to Florida’s open government law, on that state’s abuse and even murder of prison inmates.

In the eight years of the Bush-Cheney administration, I covered anti-war protests in Washington and never once did I face an arrest situation, although there were some close calls. My arrest-free journalism record was shattered last night in Alexandria, Virginia, while meeting a confidential source.

I hoped to report today on a significant link between “Sir” Allen Stanford’s collapsed Stanford Financial Group and a top Democratic Party lobbyist who is close to the Obama administration. I also hoped to report on the covert activities of Stanford’s operations in Venezuela and Panama.

That story will have to wait, unfortunately.

Last night, while meeting the source in O’Connell’s Irish pub in Alexandria, Alexandria police, who apparently had plainclothes police inside the St. Patrick’s Day-jam packed establishment, arrested my source for no apparent reason while I and the source’s wife looked on in shock. When I asked one of the men who forced the source to the ground outside why they were placing him under arrest, he shouted to me to “back off.” I asked the man if he was a police officer. His response was, “No, I’m a fireman.”

I then told the “fireman” that I was a member of the press, produced my credentials, and wanted to know what the charges were against my source. He then motioned to someone behind me who shoved me up against a police SUV and placed me in handcuffs.

I was taken to Alexandria city jail and booked for “drunk in public.” Of course, there was no blood test or field sobriety test administered by anyone, police or “firemen,” to prove the spurious charge.

Then again, I did not have it as bad as some people who have been victims of America’s “justice” system. I was not hooded, chained, placed on a plane for God-knows-where and subjected to torture by brutish Third World interrogators. Nor was I placed in solitary confinement without seeing the light of day. However, I was not permitted to speak to an attorney nor was I read my Miranda rights in this Kafkaesque post-Miranda era.

I am also quite concerned about the fate of my source whom I only saw once in the “lockup.” The cops were extremely physically rough with him for some unknown reason.

There was also something very unsettling about the police retaining custody of my reporter’s notebook for some three hours while I was under arrest.

In a way, I should not be surprised that this arrest took place in Alexandria. The town has always crawled with intelligence types and other covert players, from neo-Confederates involved with the global small arms business to the CIA-linked International Association of Chiefs of Police and the infamous U.S. Court for the Eastern District of Virginia national security “rocket docket” team of Chief Judge James Cacheris and his attorney brother, Plato. Alexandria is only outdone by trendy McLean for the greatest number of spooks per square mile.

I always thought the REAL dream of martin luther king was to get

pussypussypussypussypussypussypussypussypussy

I always figured malcom x to be the true bringer of change, because if you want something bad enough, of course you'll get angry. Didn't he find peace at the end as well and lose his anger, thus getting him assassinated. I always felt malcom was on to the real shit, plus he was faithful to his wife.

I dunno, something always urked me about king doing the kind of christian side of change shtick while cheating on his wife like a fiend...uneeded irony..

Since he is down in Florida why doesn't he show up at the home of Luis Posada Carriles & Orlando Bosch with a camera crew and ask them what its like to blow up an airliner.

to compare and contrast social activists and civil rights leaders is counterproductive to the goals and aspirations which they work for. It is silly politricks..

tesla69 an article related to what you posted accuses a man of nefarious behaviour and the only evidence they present is (they claim) his 'matenal heritage' is Jewish.
What is going on here?
