A speech delivered by Cynthia McKinney at Tripoli, Libya on October 22, 2009.
We are the American delegation, now housed comfortably in Libya, looking past the beauty of the Mediterranean to a world in turmoil. A world in need of true democracy.
At this historic moment it is appropriate to discuss anew forms of self-determination. It More >

I never want you to take the journey that I’m currently on. So, I want to tell you about it.
It starts on the front of the refrigerator. “The Healthiest Foods on Earth.” A two-page primer from apple to watermelon, touting immunity to male fertility support. Inside the refrigerator, natural and organic foods only. More >

Former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has called upon President-Elect Barack Obama to “please, say something about the humanitarian crisis that is being experienced by the Palestinian people, by the people of Gaza.” McKinney spoke to CNN news from the Lebanese city of Tyre, where she More >
OBAMA’S HISTORIC VICTORY; ANOTHER TAKE
about 1 year ago - 3 comments
Last weekend, Common Dreams published still another in its endless string of fluff pieces about Barack Obama, first as a candidate and now as President-elect. The current fluff was a piece by iconic “left wing” historian Howard Zinn and called “Obama’s Historic Victory.” The persisting “progressive” enthusiasm about the election of Obama, despite his almost-unbroken More >
OBAMA’S FIRST APPOINTEE? RAHM EMANUEL?
about 1 year ago - No comments
I never subscribed to the “feet to the fire” agenda of Progressives for Obama, who said we should support Obama despite his lack of commitment to anti-war and other progressive views because he would be depending on our support once he was elected and would therefore be more responsive to those views. Since Obama is More >
I VOTED…..I, THERE’S THE RUB
about 1 year ago - No comments
A story yesterday in the Florida Times Union dredges up a troubling thought as the nation votes today. In Florida, if not elsewhere, poll officials hand the voter, after he/she has voted, a little sticker for his/her shirt with the words “I voted.” When a Jacksonville woman went to visit her mother at a nursing More >
END GAME POLITICS: THE RASHID KHALIDI CAPER
about 1 year ago - No comments
The petty sniping-du-jour between the Obama and McCain campaigns focuses on Obama’s allegedly “close” relationship with Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian academic associated with the late Yassir Arafat of the Palestinian Liberation Army, defined by the U.S. government as a “terrorist” organization. The McCain campaign has made a big deal of an older story (from April More >
IS OBAMA TRYING TO RE-DISTRIBUTE WEALTH?
about 1 year ago - No comments
John McCain has invested much of his campaign rhetoric on the claim that Barack Obama, by virtue of his policies on taxes and health care, is “trying to re-distribute wealth,” as McCain hopes thereby to capitalize on the tendency of people to want to decide for “themselves” how to spend their money, not put it in More >
IS McCAIN RUNNING AGAINST OBAMA’S MONEY?
about 1 year ago - No comments
Today the Obama presidential campaign “staggered” the political world by announcing that it had raised $150 million in September, a month during which many pundits were prepared to declare the race as all but decided. Without, I’m sure, any prompting from my own advice to McCain to run against the money, McCain promptly decried the More >
SCHIEFFER DIDN’T ASK, McCAIN AND OBAMA DIDN’T TELL
about 1 year ago - No comments
Wednesday night’s final presidential debate (whew!) set a new standard of excellence in terms of the demeanor of the moderator as well as the debaters. The genial, fair and unobtrusive moderation by Bob Schieffer helped the combatants to get through some troubled waters with an admirable degree of civility.
I wish I could say as much More >
