Certain Democratic leaders are now about to brand our party as nothing but
another group of politicians who make deals that involves quid pro quo.
My fellow soldiers are being sold out !
Do you understand my fellow democratic leaders that you have to distinguish
yourselves from the friggin Republicans?
If you cave into this King and his Monarchist, Tory, Party then you will be
hurting not only our party but this nation also. I plead with you: Do not cave
in!
I and many other progressives and Americans are going to watch who votes in
favor of this bill which sacrifices the lives of my fellow soldiers just
because you are to afraid or have succumbed to the Quid Pro Quo bones being
thrown to you!
You should not be giving bloody John McCain or King Bush and the Military
Industrial Complex what it wants !

Today, in the Arizona Republic our governor, Janet Napolitano was quoted as
saying that she's not ready to advocate for troop withdrawal. It was on the
front page of the Arizona Republic newspaper (3-8-07). She also made
statements like: there is progress in Iraq and our troops are getting things
done.
I want to know why she as political leader for the Democratic party of
Arizona is finally making a public statement on Iraq when for many months and
years we (the citizens of this state and country) have been dreaming of the day
that she would take a stand against the illegal occupation of Iraq and that we
would see her with us standing together arm and arm in front of Bloody John
McCain's office or Jon Hyl Kyl's office protesting as right wing wackos
and
monarchists shouted profanities at us and tried to hit us with their cars.
On top of it all, the members of the state Democratic party of Arizona voted
in 2005 for our troops to withdrawal from Iraq, now it can be said that this
was only a symbolic resolution on the behalf of the Democratic party of Arizona
but one thing this official resolution wasn't: some internet poll or unofficial
survey. This was an official resolution for a troop withdrawal. Janet
Napolitano is the leader of our party in Arizona, so these direct quotations
are in effect direct contradiction to what the membership of this party said in
2005: Withdraw our troops from Iraq. The elites seem to have gone along with
this resolution as type of patronization of the progressives in this party.
Furthermore, it will be said that our governor Janet Napolitano was not the
only one to be invited to Iraq by Secretary of Defense Gates but, I have seen
in the press where she met behind closed doors with officials of the Bush
administration supposedly just to discuss solutions for fighting fires in
Arizona. But, Janet's coddling up to right wingers in Bush's administration
represents the danger we all face when we eventually reach the highest levels
of power in politics: that we will associate so much with our ideological
opponents that we start to become like them.
These public statements by the governor are a symbolic slap in the face to
those in this party (the Democratic party of Arizona) and those independents
and progressives who know that George Bush is an evil and sick tyrant. Why
else, after all of our entreaties to her to stand with us would her first major
public statements not be against the illegal occupation of Iraq but instead for
it. she made statements to our reporters such as: She is not yet ready for a
troop withdrawal from Iraq? When I recieved the email from Mr. Wade today
from the Arizona Democratic Party of Arizona that governor Napolitano visited
Iraq, the statements that our governor made regarding her non-support for an
American troop withdrawal that she was quoted as making on the front page of
the Arizona Republic today were not included. This is not appreciated. We
progressives in this party are not children to be patronized or laughed at.
Just like the way Bush's people laughed at the
fundamentalist in his party, whose support he needed (behind their backs and
behind closed doors) as being ignorant and simple minded.

For those of you who say we are being unfair to our Arizona governor Janet
Napolitano and that she is being quoted out of context, we say that she is one
of the most politically savvy and uncanny politicians and that she does not
make "loose statements". For those of us who have watched her rise to
power in
Arizona, we have known of her over powering ambition to always put the
advancement of her political career as her top priority.
One must realize that she is a product of the Hillary group and that she was
schooled in their methods (rightly or wrongly) when she was sent out here to
Arizona years ago by President Clinton when he came to power . It is no
accident that she eerily similar to Hillary in her political strategies and her
public stances on the Illegal Occupation of Iraq.
But you know what? When many of us know human beings are actually being
murdered (American soldiers and citiizens of the world) for a lie (the
Occupation of Iraq) we have to sacrifice if necessary our political careers and
save lives and not leastly save this Republic from Fascism. Political careers
must come second. But, I am afraid that this political sacrifice is to much to
ask the governor and the elites in this party who hold stances on the Occupation
similar to hers. Why not triangulate and use the blood of American soldiers
(like John McCain is doing) to win the next election?
Why else would our governor make such grievous statements and symbolically
rub the progressives wounds in salt by not just staying silent but incredibly
now making statements that support more killing of American soldiers and
civilians in Iraq? Is the Senate position now held by John McCain now that
important. This may seem naive of me but why does Machivelli's ghost now seem
to run the governor's mind and the minds of other elites in this party?
We activist have had to sacrifice everything, including our political chances
in this party because at the end of the day and at the end of our of lives we
know that we stood for Right with my fellow brother and sister progressive
activist to bring home our American soldiers and fight for the survival of
this Republic. What a shallow life to always lust for political power at the
cost of human lives.
I ask the governor of this state (Arizona) to either retract her statement
about not standing for an American troop withdrawal from Iraq or that she
states that she is for an American troop withdrawal in the very near future
from Iraq.
Since we know that Napolitano is a political calculator who carefully takes
no chances as to not be seen as standing with the progressives who advocate for
getting our troops out of Iraq, we can also calculate that her advisors have
told her that the progressives in this party do not hold much power in the
Democratic party of Arizona (as they believe was demonstrated by the party
election last January of a state chair that progressives fought against). But,
the governor should be careful because progressives in this party hold more
power and influence than she probably believes. If it follows that she and
advisors believe that we progressives in this party do not hold much power, she
and they probably believe that if we left the party it would cause no harm to
their centrist republican view of the Democratic party.
In fact, it could shrewdly be concieved that if we progressives were pushed
out of the party (purged) , the DNC theme of the party would take complete
control of the Democratic party in Arizona . To this, I state to you my fellow
activists DO NOT let them push us out of the party for that is exactly what they
want, for then like the rest of the country they could consolidate and
incorporate their DNC philosophy over the Democratic party of Arizona.
I am deeply dissappointed and disheartened because although we could not get
the governor to come out and openly protest or publicly stand against the
continued killing of our American soldiers I never expected our governor
Napolitano to come out so arrogantly and brazenly advocate for the continued
presence of American troops in Iraq by stating that she doesn't believe they
should be withdrawn yet, as she was quoted in the Arizona Republic today.
I hope the governor and other elites in this party prove me wrong and come
out tommorrow publicly by stating openly that they are against the Iraq
Occupation and therefore put their petty political ambitions second and the
lives of our Americans soldiers first. We could expect this from Republicans
and Monarchist but not those elites who run the Democratic party. I apoligize
to all of those elites in the Democratic party who have come out publicly
against the occupation of Iraq, There are such leaders as Mr. Alfredo
Guiterrez who stand for what is right and join in our protest even to the point
of getting arrested for non-violent civil disobedience.
It is very easy now for well known politicians to go to the Martin Luther
King Celebrations that are held every January and smile for the cameras but
would they have stood arm in arm wit Dr. King when he was also a political
outcast from the elite of this nation? We need the leadership of men like Dr.
King who was savagely attacked and finally murdered for his courageous stand
for what was right.
So now I ask: Governor Napolitano are you for or against the Illegal
Occupation of Iraq? I have to ask this question because for all intents and
purposes today you took a stand for the Illegal Occupation of Iraq and
therefore indirect support of that murderous king and tyrant George Bush. So
this is not an unfair question to ask you because we activist put our lives and
careers on the line all the time by taking public stances against the Iraq War
and for others to state that since you hold an elite position in the Democratic
party as precluding you from taking a stance for or against the Iraq War
therefore is no excuse. Our fellow Americans are dying for a lie! Please do
not take the flip flopping stance of John McCain or the Fascist stance of Jon
Kyl.
Where are you govenor? We need your support not your opposition.

Thanks everyone for expressing an interest in the recall effort down here in
Arizona of the Flip Flopper John McCain.
Many have said that "bloody John" McCain has gone off the deep end on
the
contrary, he has not gone off the deep end, he is in fact part of an American
Cabal that wants Monarchy (a king) to rule through the so-called Unitary
Executive Theory in the United Staes of America.
He along with this cabal of men and women Neo-Cons who are joined at the hip
with the Military Industrial Complex have and are plotting in traitorous
fashion for future monarchist presidents such as George Bush to have the powers
of a king.
Now, I know that this seems far fetched but who would have thought 6 years
ago that our country would have been betrayed by those hooligans in the White
House and in the Executive Branch?
A strong story is circulating about Washington D.C. that a certain cabal of
generals (who care not for the U.S. Constitution have sworn an oath to follow
George Bush -their king- no matter what happens.
Also, don't buy for a second the public statements by Vice- President Cheney
(who has committed high crimes against this nation) that he is really pissed
off at Bloody McCain. Afterall, these traitorous scoundrels both it is quiet
clear believe in the Unitary Executive theory.
Now, he (Bloody John McCain) and his fellow anti-American Theocratic Neo-Cons
are on the verge of plotting to start WWIII with Iran. This recall is more
important than we know.
It is true, that many of our friends still remember the old John McCain and
either refuse to listen to the truth about him or just have not heard from us
yet about what he is doing and how is making the rest of the nation and the
world think that we support "Torture", suspension of Habeas Corpus, The
continued killing of my fellow soldiers in Iraq for his and George Bush's lie
and the desire for a monarchy.
Please, spread the word far and wide to get people to sign our petitions and
please combat non-violently the monarchist, Neo-Cons, and Fascists who will be
blogging fanatically for their "torture" leader John McCain. We can only
accomplish this huge task before us by working together.

Ask them why theres no pictures of the armored humvees with the new armor. Ask how well it is tested and not just for bombs but also how well does the armor stay bolted to the body of the humvee. Other questions if you talk to the army are how can they protect the roof and

protect the roof and floor and windows.

There may be problems with the new Frag kit 5. The trucks are so heavy they are not safe to drive fast and are hard to manuver. New York Times wants them on all humvees now but they didnt see any army reports on how safe they are in events other then bombs. There are reports on these.

John McCain won't tell you.

The citizens of Arizona hereby declare that senator John McCain has violated the
unwritten compact that is the trust of the citizens of Arizona whom he
represents. He has done this by shirking his duties as a senator from the
great state of Arizona by not enforcing the long held and sacred precept of
Habeas Corpus further he has
acquiesced in his role as a member of the legislative branch to strongly
check the power of the Chief Executive who has for all intents and purposes
become a king.

Please, help restore our demcracy recall "bloody John McCain".

Bloody John, where have you gone? Could it be your up a tree? Who treed
you Johnny was it the javelina Republicans or those Coyote Democrats? No, it was
just the tired and fed up citizens of Arizona living up to the western tradition
of showing Carpet baggers "the door". We've had enough of you and
now according
to our rights under the Arizona constitution we are going to recall you from the
position of trust that we gave you, in which betrayed our trust.
Good Bye, Johnny, now that you'll have more time on your hands why don't
volunteer to take the place of why of my fellow soldiers in Iraq for your own
personal surge.

I had a good breakfast that morning before our squads from 2nd platoon left
out of the wire for our Russian Roulette patrol down through a veritable
bomber’s paradise. Up to this point our M.P. company had started to take
heavy significant losses in casualities but thankfully, we had not had any
soldiers K.I.A. (killed in action). I always tried to eat a good breakfast
whenever I went on our almost daily missions at this time because quite
frankly, I didn’t know if it would be my last and much like a prisoner
convicted to die in the near future I felt that at least my last meal would
have been a good one.

We had all heard in our platoon about the even more deadly Platter Charges
(Shaped Charges) being used by the enemy. Basically, this type of charge could
be shaped to look like anything from a curb on the side of the road to a
seemingly innocent chunk of cement that seemed harmless until it was to late.
This type of charge was and is so powerful that it easily goes through the
armor of our humvees. To give an idea of how powerful this bomb was and is,
one need only look at the humvees that had been hit by them. I had seen
multiple humvees with usually two almost perfectly formed holes going right
through the armor of the driver’s door. It was like the proverbial “hot
knife going through butter”almost nothing could stop it.

Word had gotten out to the humvee drivers about this because this type of
bomb usually meant virtual suicide to the humvee drivers. And, we would see
these humvees coming back to our F.O.B.s drenched in blood. One of my buddies
who was on a special detachment to our brigade had heard that there were
already many fatalities due to this Platter Charge. In some cases if the
drivers were lucky this bomb would not decapitate them but would only take off
one of their legs. I describe this as “lucky” only because by this time the
U.S. Army had started handing out a new type of tourniquet that usually was
worn somewhere on the soldier’s body for immediate use. Well, my buddy from
the brigade attachment told me that the drivers were now wearing these special
tourniquets on their leg that faced their humvee door. They did this because
if the individual soldier was some how conscious and still clinging to life he
or she could tighten this tourniquet before they “bled out”
(bled to death) in about two to three minutes. I wore the tourniquet as
described above for a short period of time until I realized that this desperate
measure among my comrades was more of a mental tool to be able to go out of
“the wire” each day so they could tell themselves, maybe I could survive if I
wore this thing.

I hope, that it is not taken that when I say it was virtual suicide for the
humvee drivers if hit by one of these shape charges that the damage done to the
other occupants of the humvee was only minimal. To the contray, they were also
usually injured severely and killed. My emphasis on the driver was and
probably is because I mostly was a humvee driver even though, many a time I
was allowed to gun to relieve the monotony of the multiple hour patrols we went
on. Also, there were many other ways the enemy used I.ED.s to try and kill us,
like placing bombs underneath the roof of overpasses and not least of all
actual multiple anti-tank mines that had been found on our patrol routes which
if we had hit would have probably assured death for a tank much less for our
humvees and the finally, the deadly mortar with snipers thrown in for good
measure and let us not forget the VBIED (Vehicle Born Improvised Explosive
Device).

We had also heard about one of the counter-measures being used to stop this
deadly new charge. First of all, this type of bomb (the platter charge) was a
“motion and heat sensing device” that was set off by the movement and or the
heat of our humvees. It more than likely was soldiers that came up with an
ingenious yet simple device to counter this bomb, it was called the “Rhino”.
Basically, this device extends out anywhere from 6 to 8 feet in the form of a
long skinny light metal bar usually with a flap hanging down to the ground or
a metal chain. Before I go on, let me again emphasize that this was all in the
public press. The first place where I saw an actual drawing or picture of this
Rhino device in the press was in our Stars and Stripes newspaper right there in
Iraq where plenty of Iraqis on our post could see it, in fact, this newspaper
also had a complete diagram not only showing this device it went farther and
did what I never would have done and that was
show the strongest and weakest points on the humvee where armor was concerned.
Also, the other media outlet that described this device was Yahoo.com news
service and there probably others. The insurgents and all of the Iraqis had
already been made aware of this device the first day our units started driving
out of the wire with them. And knew long before what they were and how to try
and counter them before the American public even knew they existed. The
gangster Bush administration knew that if the American public found out about
how our soldiers were basically being slaughtered like sheep from these devices
that they would have been angered and tried to save my comrades lives. The fact
was, that even the armor was and is not protecting our soldiers now from these
very powerful platter and tank bombs.

We soldiers, the ones who had to drive outside of our F.O.B.s (Forward
Operation Bases) everyday saw those units that had these devices and we knew
that there were counter-measures to this deadly Platter Charge. Yet, when we
asked our leadership why we did not have these devices that the Regular Army
units had we were told that: “they were on order” and it would take at a
minimum weeks if not longer to get them. By this time, the enemy was using
these Platter Charges with great effect on us. We got to the point where we
were almost begging the leadership in our unit to get us these devices which
could and was saving soldiers lives in other units but to no avail were our
desperate pleas heard to please let us not be slaughtered like sheep. We
continued to drive on knowing that sooner or later something was going to
happen to us if we did not get a hold of these devices.

The weather was just starting to cool off and give us desperately needed
relief from the Supernatural heat of Iraq that day before my brothers, the
brothers of 2nd platoon were to go out on patrol that day. Being a native of
Phoenix Arizona, I wasn’t a stranger to a hot desert heat but this was
different. Maybe, it could have the been the at least extra 65 pounds of
equipment and armor we had to carry or maybe it could have been that 3 days of
driving back and forth in an un-air conditioned up- armored humvee where we had
to move our M.P. company from Camp Rustamayeh to Camp Liberty. We had to keep
the windows up all the way and the vehicle battle locked because if the windows
were only slightly cracked an I.E.D. could send fragments through those openings
but finally, we couldn’t take it anymore and the Sergeant cracked his window
because we were slowly suffocating and baking inside our humvee from the heat.
So, it was with great relief but an odd and strange
feeling I had that when both of our squads left Camp Liberty that morning of
September 26, 2005 to start our patrol.

Subject: Hey Sarge, I hope everything's fine, here's something I wrote in
Iraq but you can use the whole thing including what I wrote to you., Thanks,
Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 20:10:11 +0000 (GMT)
From: leonard clark
To: sarge@unreportednews.net

Hey Sarge, how’s it going. I decided to let ya’ll see what got ol’ King
George and his sheriff Al Gonzo the Attorney General so sore at me while I was
down there in ol’ Iraq in 2005-2006. Below, is what I wrote from my heart in
Iraq on July 4th, 2005. Well, they twerent to happy when they called me into
the former palace of one of Sadam Hussein’s sons to tell me on July 4th, 2005
not tell the King and Gonzo that the U.S. Army wasn’t about torture and
slaughter of its own soldiers but they damn well heard it anyways.
Happy 4th, 2005
Well, happy days are here again! Our great Attorney General Gonzales flew
into the Ultra Safe Green Zone and gave a speech at the embassy. You remember
our Attorney General, the one who a chief counsel to the President, said it was
quite alright to use certain torture methods that might get by the Geneva
Convention, Washboarding, beating, etc. It's all there, folks, and our great
maniac executive strongly supports him. I'm reading the Stars and Stripes and
I'll feel so much more comforted when I'm standing up in the turret of my
Humvee or driving it because of these very comforting words by our A.G. : "As
we approach the Fourth of July weekend, I suspect there's some of you that are
here that sometimes feel lonely and you sometimes wonder whether you are not
alone, " and I'm here to tell you that you are not alone, that the American
people are very much with you."--Stars and Stripes, 7-4-05.
Oh, I can rest peacfully when the next bomb goes off because the man who
approved torture by the United States of America and deeply shamed this nation
has told me I am not alone. Well, he's right about one thing I know I'm
not
alone - whether it's the spooks or agents that are monitoring me or my journals
or those of you out there reading these words I am certainly not alone. I know
that many of those Iraqi people who wish to kill me and my fellow soldiers and
are constantly waiting for their oppurtunity are making sure my fellow soldiers
and I are not alone.
Well, I just wanted to thank the brave A.G. for flying into the Green Zone
and having to endanger himself behind all of his heavy security just so he
could tell me I'm not alone. My heart is truly warmed.
Now, fellow activists, let us keep up the non-violent fight against the
terrorists and the tryants at home who are needlessly endangering my fellow
soldiers and causing many of them to die needless deaths in this lie we call
the Occupation of Iraq. We need to let the three-piece-suited politicians and
their crooked lackeys know that we're mad as hell and we're not going to
take
it anymore! Immediately, fellow activist (even if you have to do it on your
own, although working through one of the organizations linked to this site
might also be the best way) find out how you local city, state, and federal
politicians stand on the occupation of Iraq. If they stand for the lie or are
just too afraid to do the right moral thing by standing against this horrible
occupation of Iraq, then quickly find somebody who is running against them. If
there is nobody running against, find somebody to run against them. Boycott any
companies that are profiting off of the blood of my fellow
American soldiers. And let us not forget our governors, congressmen and
senators (especially Democratic ones) - ask them or their representatives where
they stand on a timetable, and if they will not give you an answer then by all
means find someone who can take their places who will support a timetable.
I'm damn tired of my Democratic leadership in Washington D.C. that refuses
to
publicly call for an immediate timetable for a withdrawal from Iraq. To those
Democratic and Republican leaders who have done so I apologize in advance for
the questions you are going to start receiving from your constituents on this
issue, but you can no longer sit on the fence - our American soldiers are dying
needless deaths over here and dammit, you've got to take a stand or we'll
vote
somebody else in your place!
Not One More American Soldier Should Die Over Here in this Lie We Call the
Occupation of Iraq!

Lives
Thanks To George Bush And His Un-American Traitor Friends
By Leonard Clark

As I sit here listening to an old Peter Paul & Mary tape cassette that I
boughtt from the second hand store, my mind goes back to that day I found a
c.d. at the F.O.B. (forward operating base P.X. (post exchange). I liked to
listen to music on my battery operated c.d. player when we weren’t out “the
wire”.

Well, I was listening to this c.d and my team leader at the time, a
sergeant came into my sleeping quarters. I told him what I was listening to
and asked him if he liked Peter Paul and Mary to which he responded through a
grimace of disbelief and a grunt that meant “no”. I had known this
sergeant and he had been a friend of mine all the way back to Ft. Polk,
Louisiana where some of our leadership and the U.S. Army had put us through
“90 days of hell” (but that’s another story).

Even though we were comrades our relations had been strained and even
more so after hurricane Katrina had hit the Gulf States. This Sgt. And I were
only a smaller symptom of a growing awareness among many of my comrades and the
soldiers serving in Iraq. This awareness was that we were not safe from anyone
in Iraq, not just the Iraqis and foreign terrorist trying to kill us but from
our own leadership and that we in effect were like sheep for the slaughter,
just numbers in an “occupation” for oil companies and war profiteers that
were growing rich off the spilling of our blood and that it was needless for
us to waste our lives for a “lie” that was basically the occupation of Iraq.
We only knew that we must band together and fight for our own survival, it
wasn’t for high minded ideals that we were now fighting but for the love of
our fellow soldiers, our family, our “battle buddies”. We knew that we were
being played for suckers and dupes for that liar George
Bush and his crooked gangster friends.

When hurricane Katrina hit this awareness exploded into a raging fire
before our eyes I and other soldiers sat side by side next to those from
Louisiana and saw for the first time our poor fellow Americans floating face
down in the flooded streets of cities and towns throughout the regions
devastated by Katrina. I won’t lie and tell you that I was not deeply
distressed the first time I saw dead Americans floating face down in my own
country and that the rest of the Americans in the area were not being given
the speedy assistance and emergency help that they as part of our Union of the
United States deserved. Tears of rage, flowed down my face as I heard that
liar say: “Heck of a job Brownie.” Hurricane Katrina was the straw that
broke the camel’s back, because we knew that as National Guard soldiers we
should be taking care of and helping our own country and not helping prop up a
theocratic and corrupt government that said it was alright for Iraqi insurgents
to
murder our fellow soldiers.

One day, this Sgt. I had Spoken of earlier (whom I will always consider
my comrade and friend) reacted to the anger he saw in me and his other fellow
soldiers at not being home to help our own countrymen but instead defending a
far away people who to a large extent hated us and wanted us out of their
country. He told me and my battle buddy (the gunner in my humvee) that the
people who lived in those areas effected by Hurricane Katrina were at fault and
needed to help themselves and those who wre using that disaster as an excuse to
say we wrong for being in Iraq were communist. At this point things started to
go from bad to worse in our unit as we started to have more and more attacks
from the enemy until finally, we had our first fatality.

I am writing this article because I believe George Bush is unnecessarily
endangering my fellow National Guard soldiers on the Arizona border. You
may have remembered that a little over a week ago that the press covered an
incident here in Arizona along the Arizona border where National Guard
soldiers who are under the control of the governor of Arizona had fled an
armed group of heavily armed gunmen who approached their position along the
Arizona border and who it seems implied from the press did not have loaded
weapons. As if this were not intolerable enough, a fair sized front page
article ran three or four days ago on the cover of the Arizona Republic
newspaper was asking the question how large amounts of heavy and
semi-automatic weapons were being smuggled across the Arizona border with
Mexico and directly into the hands of Narco-Traficanos (highly international
drug gangs



Yes, the article implied that it was the independent gun dealers faults here
in Arizona for selling these weapons to representatives of Mexican drug
gangs and drug lords in Arizona but let me assert to you that I believe this
was a cover story for something far more ominous and extremely dangerous to
our citizen soldiers and American citizens:
George Bush has personally approved the sale of weapons and cash bribes
directly to Mexican Polleros (human smugglers)and drug dealers in exchange
for hoped information on terrorists, aka Iran-Contra, Manuel Noriega and
WWII dealings of the U.S. Government with organized crime gangs along the
ports of the U.S. to fight Nazi Infiltration, etc.

I don't blame you for right now saying: this guy is off his rocker but this
is why I sighted to you infamous cases in the past where other politicians
have dealt with murderers and drug dealing dictators. Thank about it,some
of the same people who were present during Iran-Contra are now present in
the Bush administration.

Now, some of you are saying so what, if Bush by paying murderous Narco
Trafficanos and human smugglers with hundreds of thousands of weapons and
American laundered money (I wonder who the new Colonel North is?)is fighting
terrorists it's a good deal. But I strongly assert to you that this is
indeed a terrible deel, for these Narco-Traffico International gangs don't
have INTERNATIONAL in their names by accident. They, I am convinced were
probing my fellow National Guard soldiers defensive positions several weeks
ago here in Arizona when they approached us and they were trying to tell us
something: WE are the bosses here, you do not control your own borders. They
incident was in many different major media outlets.

So, I state to you that we need to immediately demand our Congress hold
hearings into this with the strongest questioning and use of Subpeonas as
possible. If we wait the first slaughter of American citizens could be that
of my fellow National Guard soldiers on the border here in Arizona with
Mexico, Secondly, the victims who live in Arizona towns and citizents could
be the next victims of these Mexican drug-human smuggling elements that now
seem to be doing the dirty work of George Bush, the Commander In Thief.
Everything, I have told you is based off of what has been in the public
realm there are many books that detail the illegal acts of some politicians
who use our intelligence organizations for evil and criminal acts not only
against other nations but possibly worst of all: it's own American citizens

One excellent history of the CIA to start off with is a book called: A Man
Called Intrepid.
FIGHT FOR OUR DEMOCRACY AND CONSTITUTION BUSH AND HIS TRAITOROUS FRIENDS OUR

I returned from Iraq in February 2006 and I still see the same lie being
foisted upon you the American people as when I was in Iraq patrolling the mean
streets of Baghdad. I have ridden first hand day by day either as gunner or
driver in my Humvee for a year long tour of hell in Iraq where everyday you
have to play Russian Roulette with your life. Imagine having someone place a
357 magnum pistol next to your head everyday and praying that it won't go off.
Then you start to get a feel for what some of us soldiers feel who go out of
the wire everyday in Iraq.

Of course you always hear that we volunteered to defend our country and place
our lives on the line well that it is true but what we did not volunteer for was
to be slaughtered like sheep. Here's an example of what I mean :

Anybody who drives down the roads of Iraq through its cities and villages
will pass by whole stretches of road where slaughter markets for sheep rebound.
The stench from these slaughtered sheep is so strong sometimes that it is all
one can do not to vomit when passing them. The passerby will see these poor
sheep writhing and twisting in pain as their throats are cut and it is truly a
pitiful sight as they slowly die with no way to defend themselves as their
blood drains out in the street.
Well, the reason I had to bring up that whole example is to dismiss the
criticism that we soldiers should die like sheep. But that's not the way it's
going to be told to you the American people. What I have just told you is only
the tip of the iceberg if you knew everything you would even redouble your
efforts to get my poor fellow soldiers out of this grand lie foisted on us by
grand infamous liars.
I am not going to stand by as an American citizen and let this happen I will
not be that citizen who says he was just following orders as the Nazi war
criminals stated at Nuremburg. I am for fighting the War on Terror and not
hijacking it to enrich my personal corporate donor friends and lackeys.
Our country is under attack from terrorist without and tyrants within.
Abraham Lincoln was right in his 1838 speech when he stated that the greatest
danger that this country could face wouldn't be from the enemies outside of
our
country but from domestic tyrants inside it.
Of course now there are those fellow American citizens who wish to do those
of us violence for telling the truth. If they carry out these acts of violence
against us: the People who wish to bring back our soldiers from this lying hell
in Iraq then they are no different from the foreign terrorist who tried to kill
me and my fellow soldiers in Iraq. The only difference will be that they will
have become domestic terrorist instead of foreign ones in the vein of Timothy
McVeigh.
The people that I follow are those who made our country an even better
democracy through non-violence and the fact that "Right" was on their
side,
people such as Dr. Martin Luther King and Caeser Chaverz.
I am running for the U.S. Senate as of January, 2007 against John McCain and
I am in the process of working on his recall here in Arizona
teacher
and damned liberal
(always the damned liberal)

Neo-Con (Republican) politicians and some democrats are stoking the flames of racial and ethnic hate to get the American peoples
attention off of Iraq and all of the other "Impeachable Scandals" of Bush
& CO
Zombies of Hate

It is unbelievable that while we spend billions of dollars to prop up a
theocratic and corrupt goverment thousands of miles away in Iraq (as an excuse
to occupy the Middle East) that right now here in our own back yard human
skeletons lay in the desert unfound as our illustrious politicians get their
campaign moneys from the very corporations that caused these skeletons to be
there in the first place.

I blame the illegal (but not immoral)immigrants no more for coming to this
great nation than I would blame first grade children for becoming addicted to
Heroin that a drug dealer (who stands across the street from their
school)methodically sells to them every day.
The Republicans and some Democrats who are against a reasonable that grants
gradual legal status to certain undocumented workers here in the U.S. have
become that drug dealer while they themselves have also become addicted to the
money from corporations and the hate that can get them their votes.

They may argue from a legal standpoint, that they are only for enforcing the
rule of law but they are not arguing from a moral one. They are acting
immorally. And, Just as Martin Luther King broke “the law of men” to uphold
“the much higher law of humanity for Mankind”
These poor illegal immigrants break “the law” but do not break the laws of
humanity. Everyday, that this immigration problem is held up and not solved
while people are dying in the desert our leaders must know that indirectly they
are violating the laws of humanity.

And now, we see, most despicably some politicians such as John Shadegg and Jon
Kyl pimping their drug of hate, fomenting the building anger between Anglo and
Hispanic peoples in our beautiful country. Will it bother them once the race
riots start and the killing begins? I pray to the Almighty that it does because
if race riots and killings start then the evil Genie will be out of the bottle
and who knows when and if it will ever be able to be put back in.

Like the Serbian, Croatian and African leaders of the last decade who used hate
to begin their murderous ethnic cleansing some of our political leaders will
become Nationalist leaders, who while provoking anger will have their egos
stoked as they are propped up by the very people that they evinced that anger
within, the very people that they turned into Zombies of hate.

Don’t go after these immigrant children of GOD who have only come to our great
country with no malice in their hearts and only to feed their families and find
a better life. Go after the politicians who like drug dealers are addicting
some of our fellow Americans to the wonderful sensation of hate in order to get
themselves more votes.

Remember we can have a blood bath and a witch hunt in trying to extract these
11 million illegal (but not immoral) immigrants and put on a shameful show for
the world (as we lecture other countries about human rights)or we can show the
world that we Americans will solve this serious immigration problem on our own
continent with the humanity and magnanimity that our forefathers would be proud
of.

America was at one time the humane and civilized nation that could solve
serious problems such as this immigration dilemma and we shall prove that we
still are that great nation, that “great experiment” that can solve these
dilemmas of mankind.
Fortunately, we the people of America are still humane and civilized as a
nation because we are America.

We must show the world that Bush and his Neo-Cons no longer speak for us, for
they are trying to change America with their race baiting by appealing to the
hate in our hearts, not only is this unscrupulous and immoral it is UNAMERICAN.
They are so desperate now to divert the growing anger that the American people
have towards them as leaders that they wish to scapegoat and sick the unlawful
mob on the immigrants.

We shall retake our nation one mind and one heart at a time and give it back to
the principles that were outlined in the Declaration of Independence. That all
men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights.

Hello fellow activists. I am writing this article because of what I feel to
be a concerted effort on the part of the anti-American ,anti-U.S.
Constitutional Commander In Thief to utilize the CIA and P.R. firms on K-street
to influence the media (especially progressive radio) across the country. Oh
sure, I know some people are probably saying: Wow!, whatever made you come to
that conclusion genius?
Well, this would almost be funny except for the that my fellow American
soldiers are being murdered because of lies and propaganda like from the
Neo-Cons and Bush. This effort is different in that the tyrant and
anti-American war profiteering Neo-Cons are now desperately organizing with
secret funding from the psychopath Bush who has directly transferred funds from
the so called "Black Hole" budget to immediately employ turncoats and
others
desperate for their "thirteen pieces of silver" to spread out to a huge
variety
of meetings such as but not limited to: VFW, City Councils, State Legislature
meetings(from state legislators sympathetic to the Anti-American Neo-Cons,
newspapers, and not least of all: Progressive Radio Networks across the
country.
This last category is most important to the Bush, McCain, Kyl, McConnell,
Graham etc. group of "blood money" men because they know that if they
can
settly influence the listeners to Nova-M and Air America radio with
manipulating sentences and phrases such as: Well, Bush is not a bad president
but it's not his fault because he's just been mislead by the big, bad people
around him. Of course, we know that is the biggest crock of you know what but
some federal agents and private contractors who have sold out their loyalties
to our beautiful democratic country (the United States of America and its
constitution) know that others less studied might fall for it.
This is where we come in. We have to be ever more vigilant in that we must
influence the people who are right now possibly wavering on the issue of the
criminal Neo-Con's sending and escalating the Occupation in Iraq.
I have seen since yesterday two suspicious guests who have seemed to be
trying to settlely influence people who listen to progressive radio since
yesterday using the some of the sentences and phrases I mentioned above to try
and get people to continue supporting the Occupation of Iraq and sending more
troops. The first was yesterday on the Peter B. Collins show (who is one of
the best progressive talk show hosts around and can be heard on
novamradio.com). The guest was on and supposedly seemed to be representing the
organization Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans Against the War (IAVA). This guest
who was an officer and veteran of one of the Southwest Asia campaigns was soft
on Bush and called Lt. Wutada's actions reprehensible.
The second example of a CIA operative who openly states that he works with
American Intelligence assets stating that he helps them bring to the public
information which their superiors try to get them to keep secret. This guest
implied that there was not many more wounded soldiers than the amount of dead
in Iraq which of course is ludicrous because many sources and authorities state
there is at least been 20,000 soldiers wounded in Iraq and this probably doesn't
even begin to touch the mentally wounded soldiers who have been put in the
position of killing people by accident such as innocent civilians.
Yes, the trend I have been seeing in the press could just be people
expressing their honest opinions but even so, we cannot take the chance that
this is the case because if it is not and there is a new push to influence
progressive radio and we do not respond the Democrats in Congress might grow
fearful again and waiver on standing up to the criminal in the White House and
his criminal abettors. I have heard many times Democratic Congressman and
Senators saying that if there in a public outcry and great public pressure that
they might hesitate and tragically not act, thereby condemning even more of my
fellow soldiers to their needless deaths.
For a look at the history of American Intelligence gathering a good book to
start off with would be a book entitled: "A Man Called Intrepid".

I Leonard Clark, candidate for the U.S. Senate against John McCain (2010) call
on Senator McCain, to publicly to change his stance on the lie called the
Surge, further, I call on John McCain to publicly repudiate, the Commander In
Thief for his authorization to provoke a war with Iraq by seizing its diplomats
from their nation's compound in the Kurdish part of Iraq earlier yesterday.

If John McCain, continues on with his support for the anti-American,
anti-constitutional king George and further, continues to support war
profiteers who are profiting off the blood of my fellow American soldiers in
Iraq through No-Bid contracts than I will call publicly for his recall and all
other Federally elected officials in Arizona who also support the Gangster
George Bush and what I have just stated above: The Needless Killing of My
Fellow American soldiers in Iraq.
Hello, my fellow activist. I just got back from the protest held in front of
McCain's office this morning. It was truly inspirational to see young and old
alike protesting in front of a major contributing accessory to the demonic
George Bush (John McCain).
Well, sorry, for such a short letter. I am going to try and be in front of
McCains's office again at 4:30 PM today. Also, even though I don't push
politics at the school I am becoming increasingly concerned for my job as a
teacher. My paycheck is almost a week late because the Federal Postal Service
seems to have lost my check. I had my mail forwarded to my new address but all
of my mail is arriving except of course for my paycheck. I am not yet ready to
push the panic button because the postal service says that my check is probably
just delayed because of the forwarding process but then I have to ask myself why
has all my other mail been arriving (one letter coming all the way from the
state of Ind.) ? Remember, my taxes were audited by the State of Arizona while
I was still in Iraq and getting ready to come home a month later. Basically,
one of the dirty tricks in politics is to try and smear the reputation of a
candidate for office which I was and still am. But,
I will not let these gangsters stop our quest for the removal of my fellow
American soldiers from Iraq
I will wait until Saturday at that point, I will begin raising hell
(non-violently of course). Well, I'm going to get going and thank you for your
inspirational power and your soul power. NO MAS! NOT ONE AMERICAN SOLDIER
SHOULD DIE IN IRAQ !

I have found out some more details on the incident which occurred
on the Arizona-Mexico border between National Guardsman and a group of armed
people as reported by NPR affiliate KJZZ today 1-5-07 : Public Affairs Officer
Major Aguirre, of the Arizona Army National Guard informed that an incident did
occur between National Guard soldiers and group of individuals. He said that a
group of individuals did approach Guardsman but they did not flee as KJZZ
reported. He said the incident was brief and that U.S. Border Patrol were
there very quickly after the incident occurred.
P.A.O. Major Aguirre stated that the National Guardsman were armed and did
have ammunition for their weapons.
These National Guardsmen were performing a "Identification" mission
and he
said this was one of the only missions where they were allowed to carry weapons
with ammunition.
He said that he could not confirm that this incident involved Az. National
Guardsman or Guardsman from other states but that all Guardsman including those
from other states were not under federal control but under the control of the
state of Arizona. He stated that even though they were assisting the federal
Border Patrol in a support role that they were not under federal control.

I have yet to hear from the Feds. (Federal Border Patrol) on the incident.
Apparently, the governor of Arizona stated in a previous interview with KJZZ
(NPR) affil. that National Guard would not be confronting undocumented border
crossers but that they would only be in a support role. It is unclear, whether
she stated before that National Guard would be carrying weapons with ammunition
but Major Aguirre has said that not all National Guardsman on the border are
allowed to carry weapons and that only Guardsman for this specific mission
were.

Sorry, No Liberal Peasants Allowed, is how I felt being spoken down today by a
rep. of governor Napolitano, but never mind Arizona Army National Guardsman
serving and dying in Iraq is not in her jurisdiction.

I went to governor's office today and was told in person from a lady in her constituent services office that governor Napolitano has already
spoken publicly on her stand on Iraq but she also stated: when asked if this
was the final word of governor Napolitano that she could not say. I asked her
when we could recieve a reply alone on whether she would even come out and say:
yes or no as to whether she would give her opinion on the subject and I
interpreted the governor's spokesperson basically saying: never.

But again, this same spokesman told me that who knows maybe someday the
governor would speak on this issue. I then asked her: when? 5 days, 5 months,
5 years and she said couldn't say. She also stated that this wasn't in
her
jurisdiction. I don't know about you but if I have to hear one more politician
say that commenting on Iraq isn't in their jurisdiction, I'm going to need
a
barf bag.
Well, I will continue to keep you informed as time permits or until I'm "I'm
Dissappeard".

I have not heard back from the governor's office on her taking a public stance about the
heavy use of Arizona Army National Guard, equal pension waiting time for
Arizona Guard members nor her public stance on the Lie that is called the
Occupation of Iraq.
In the meantime, I am currently researching the evolution (or de-evolution)
of State National Guard Units becoming the new standing army under the thumb of
King Bush instead of the state militias that they were intended to be, so please
stand by as I will by writing down and analyzing some of the information I have
found on this subject.

Basically, the nitty-gritty is that that the use of a state's name in the
National Guard unit it hosts is all but a ceremonial title used to imply that
it is an actual state militia unit that the governor has control of, when in
reality the president can activate the Guard anytime he wants without
permission from our governor.

I will show in future articles this is not what the Forefathers of country
intended and how now, the false president in charge of this country is using
the tactics that tryants have always used and that Hamiliton, Madison and other
Forefathers warned us about.

MAKING THE POLS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE IN AZ. Part I I am working on a project.
Basically, today, on 1480AM NOVA M RADIO, I said that we need to take lie of
the occupation of Iraq to the next level of protest because the politicians
seem to be more content to sit on the fence. I stated that we are going to
start not only agitating constantly but that we need to make people in the
party to which I belong very uncomfortable. Basically,
politicians who say they have no jurisdiction over having to do anything with
the Iraq Tragedy are now going to start having to feel the heat through
non-violent protest within their own party. As such, I have now called a
person who is an advisor to the governor. She and I go back a ways as
acquaintenances in the party. Even if she denies knowing me, She probably
feels I am a pain in the rear to the governor and the elites in my own party
(she's probably right).
Not only did I call this advisor but I also called the secretary of the
governor. I did this very publicly in the lobby of the bottom of the
mini-tower in which her office sits. In both calls I did not get a human being
but I let them know that I was representing some people who felt the same way as
I did about the Arizona Army National Guard being sent to Iraq.

This is basically the message I left on both phone lines to the governor:
1.) If king Bush is going to change the redeployment policy of sending
National Guard from Az. overseas every 2 years (like the Regular Army does)
instead of the present six year redeployment time that these soldiers should be
given their pensions immediately after completing their 20 years in service
instead of having to wait till the of between 57 and 62 years of age like the
federal government does for active duty members. After all, if the National
Guard have to make the same committment over even more of a committment because
of their civilian jobs than it is discriminatory to ask National Guardsmen to
sacrifice their lives, marriages and carreers while Active Army members know
that they only have to wait till the completion of 20 years to immediately get
their pensions.

2.) I stated that many people in Arizona as I do think it only right that
our governor stand up for what is right and declare her moral and ethical
opposition to the death sentences being handed down to some of our National
Guardsmen in Iraq or whom are going to be sent to Iraq.

3.) I stated politely in these two messages to the governor that I was
hoping to hear from them at the cell phone number I left them by the end of the
day so that I could let people know that our governor stands on the side of what
is right and just and not in favor of the liar and failed king in the White
House.

Well, that's what I wanted to tell all of you. Also, I will go back to the
governor's office tommorrow and again attempt to contact her or contact her
through her representatives.

Well, the last time I ran against the "Chosen One" for the U.S. Senate
nomination I suddenly found my state taxes being audited while still in a
combat zone in Iraq. Not only that, almost every penny I had in the bank was
taken by the Arizona Department of Revenue.

Of course, this was only a coincidence happening only a month before I was
to come home from Iraq so I pray that if any retribution is taken against me
that it not be taken against my family like it was last time when they took
almost every penny I had, (they being the Arizona government).

MAKING THE POLS UNCOMF. IN AZ. 2ND PART Hello, I am just reporting
back to let you know what has transpired so far here in Arizona in my attempted
communication with the governor. Please read: Making the Pols Uncomf. In Az. 1st
Part to see the request made of the governor. Let me preface by saying that
here in Arizona the Military Industrial Complex is very strong and influential.
A large sector of our economy in Arizona is geared toward the military
contractors and corporations who are established here.




In the preceding paragraph, I alluded to the fact that Arizona has a large
part of its economy geared toward the Military Industrial Complex. Also, it
was in the press (and something I knew already) that the Arizona National Guard
has just added an infantry battalion. I find it quizical that the Arizona
National Guard (which is not entirely federalized) is apparently
enthusiastically growing not at the behest of King George
(false-undemocratically elected Bush the Younger)but at the behest of the state
government of Arizona.

I know that the Governor is Commander In Chief of the Arizona National Guard
when it is not federalized (and a large portion of it is not). The infantry
battalion was formed before being federalized not after. The logical argument
would be that the governor formed this unit to protect Arizona's interest along
the border and the peace etc. but if this is the case then why is this same
battalion (as announced by the media) or large parts of it immediately being
sent off to the Middle East almost immediately after being formed? To be fair
to the governor maybe the Republican controlled legislature would raise heck if
she didn't enthusiastically send our poor soldiers off to Iraq and Afghanistan
but the least she could do is to explain this.

As I have stated in other writings, the governor was doing her best to
protect the interests of Arizona by getting as much forest fire fighting
capability and resources to Arizona as possible. This is admirable of her as a
governor but what I am concerned about is the Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld or
other right-hand people under Bush were in the news visiting and talking with
the governor around that time period. What I'm trying to say is did she make
certain promises to the "Rotten to the Core" Bush gangsters in return
for fire
fighting resources for Arizona. As a matter of fact, one has to logically
wonder how many other governors been blackmailed or sold out to get special
favors or just basic funds for their individual states.

Now people might tell me it's none of my business but the problem is I am
a
Regular Army and National Guard Vet of 15 years. Those people the governor is
sending over are not only my friends but als people I consider family. Most of
them cannot speak because they are under military regulation. And, yes some of
them strongly disagree with me but the fact is the false president (bush)and
his ass-kissing generals are so desperate for more cannon fodder that they
would give their front teeth to get more of my comrades in the National Guard
at their federalized disposal
.
In fact, this is what is happening right now as we speak. The gangsters
(bush and company) are now openly planning to change the highly sensitive
political rule which keeps National Guard from being deployed more than once
every six years to two year rotations. In fact, I assert to you that this has
already been decided but being put out to the public as something they are
still trying to decide. Think of it: 380,000 National Guard soldiers at the
tips of these gangsters fingers for immediate deployment.

So, this is why I have taken a public stand and requested that the governor
of Arizona herself take a very public stance and come out with a public
statement condemning anymore feeding of my fellow soldiers to the beast we call
the Military Industrial Complex.

I went to the lobby of the office of the governor of Arizona on Friday,
December 22, 2006 and finally, after getting only an answering machine from the
phone located there I got the name of an individual by the name of Cory in the
governor's constituent services and again stated the request of the governor
to
take a public stance against changing of redeployment of National Guard from
every six years to two year increments and that she demand National Guard
soldiers be able to start their pensions upon the immediate completion of their
20 year obligations since they are being asked to make the same sacrifices
(actually larger sacrifices) of the Regular Federal Forces who are allowed to
collect their pensions after 20 years of service.

The representatative of the governor has said that he will try to get an
answer from the governor by next week, until then and if the governor responds,
I will keep you informed to the best of my ability.
Sincerely,
Leonard Clark,
The Damned Liberal,
