My Vigil:

On Monday, January 26, 2009, six human rights advocates will begin federal trials for carrying the protest against the School of the Americas (SOA/WHINSEC) onto the Fort Benning military base in Georgia. Each person faces up to six months in prison and a $5,000 fine for this act of nonviolent civil disobedience.



The 6 were among the thousands who gathered on November 22-23 outside the gates of Fort Benning in Columbus, Georgia to demand a change in U.S.-Latin America foreign policy and the closure of the SOA/WHINSEC. The group peacefully crossed onto Ft. Benning, site of the school, at the culmination of a symbolic funeral procession in memory of those killed by graduates of the institution.



The "SOA 6" are:

Father Luis Barrios, 56, from North Bergen, New Jersey

Theresa Cusimano, 40 Denver, Colorado

Kristin Holm, from Chicago, Illinois

Sr. Diane Pinchot, OSU, 63, from Cleveland, Ohio

Al Simmons, 64, from Richmond, Virginia

Louis Wolf, 68, from Washington, DC



Foot Note: Back in November 1999 23 SOA Watch activists were charged for their participation in the November 1999 vigil to close the SOA. The charges against 13 were later dropped, while 10 people were sentenced to 3 – 12 months in federal prison in March 2000.



It just so happens I was hanging out doing dead time when they shipped this fella in:



*Charles Butler, 73, retired United Methodist pastor, missionary in Panama for 25 years, Army veteran stationed at Ft. Benning, married, 3 children, Rochester, MN

3 months, $2500 fine....



Man we are one sic country in the long run, read the lists of those who have been felonized and disenfranchised... Amazing.

Hey,

Do any of you realize that throughout history let alone in the last 300 years we have all been at some point in time somebody's "nigger" ? to be thought of as "less than"? used till broken, and buried by the wayside? (think Upton Sinclair's "the Jungle" about the stockyards, then think of the history of the railways, mines, and canals built) The Irish, the French, the Jews, the Spanish, the Asians, all peoples... Divided and conquered, enslaved, and trained as good corporate citizens, to be made a part of their matrix, a number, a predictable corporate forecast, a statistic.







It will never change, oppression, fear and chaos are the tools of the wicked. Rape, pillage and plunder is the name of the game in this dimension, only it is for your spirit and soul that this game is being played. They keep your nose to the stone here and your lives filled with chaos and confusion, born to it, bred into it, you feed with blinders at the trough of the distillers and pharmaceuticals in our drug free America, all the while lining the purses of the corporate overlords so that they might buy small countries and wage all forms of war upon the people of the land, spreading blood across the plains...



STAND FOR SOMETHING HERE PEOPLE, IT'S NOT A GAME, IT'S LIFE, IT'S REAL, AND IT"S GOING TO EAT YOU...
