The Peace Movement is Being Hijacked by the Liberals?

By Lloyd Hart

In today's New York Times Kate Zernike and Dean E. Murphy in their article are claiming that the "most influential antiwar coalitions have shifted away from large-scale disruptive tactics" and also went on to claim that the "nation's largest antiwar coalitions were abandoning their plans to disrupt everyday life" "in an effort not to offend most Americans". The article also goes on to claim that the "National Council churches were afraid the confrontational tactics will only alienate the American public". If these claims that these journalists and York Times are making are true then as always we're seeing the beginning of the Liberal attempt to hijack peace movement. And as always the Liberals are showing their cowardice at a time when they should be showing leadership and getting out into the street sitting down with the rest of the people they encouraged to get arrested and spend a night in jail with the backbone of the peace movement.

It's very easy after all hard work has been done for those that have without any democracy involved to take the reins of the peace movement and steer it nose first into the ground. This kind of behavior has come from the Liberals time and time again but many who understand their cause to be just fortunately didn't listen. The nonviolent civil disobedience that the African-American community took part in the '50s and '60s forced an entire nation to come to terms with its continued criminal behavior against a people whom we stole everything that they had including their freedom. Does anybody out there think that the racism against Arab people today is any different. The slaughter of innocent Iraqi men, women and children in order for us to take over and privatize the Strategic Oil Supply is absolutely no different than enslaving the African-Americans because of their skin color and later segregating them and keeping them in economic slavery to this very day. The colonial take over of the Arab oil states is no different from the slaughtering of 30 million native Americans in a deliberate act of mass genocide in order to make North America safe for white people. If the American public has not dealt with these above issues to the fullest airing that truth and justice can deliver under the Constitution of the United States of America then you can be assured the American public is not dealing with the fact they are murdering Iraqi men, women and children.

The only time the advancement of social and environmental justice has occurred in America's history is when the lives of the American public were disrupted, when the lives of the American public were forced to share the cost of the criminal behavior of our leaders. So if the Liberals want to divide and conquer the peace movement by using this despicable New York Times article to do so then they can look forward to absolute disruption of the 2004 Democratic convention in Boston Mass. where the Liberals will attempt another series of lies and deceits in an attempt to appease the right wing fascists that stole election 2000 right out from under their cowering Liberal noses. If liberals want to repeat history then it'll be 1968 all over again. It's Abbie Hoffman time in America and non-violent civil disobedience and the disruption of the lives of the American public are the only effective means to teach peace.

As someone who has been arrested in the cause of social and environmental justice I commend all those who have been arrested and ask you from the bottom of heart please continue blocking traffic as the traffic on our roads is the very result of the American public's oil racism and present bid for oil mastery throughout the World. We must turn away from the very cowardice that the Liberals are attempting to sew into our movement with their anti-democratic tactics of using the very corporate media that manufactures public opinion through a corrupt process of so-called public opinion polls. We must not succumb to false leadership with so-called calculated strategies that they think will work. We must follow our hearts and legitimize and support all forms of nonviolent protest regardless of the cost to the tranquil American economy that continues to use racism in order to steal other peoples resources. So the matter what you hear or read in your e-mail's or read in today's New York Times Liberals are not in charge of America's peace movement and for that matter, a much more important component, the global peace movement that is now participating in the ultimate disruption of American lives the Global Boycott and Non-violent Civil disobedient Blockade of All Things American. To the Streets! To the Streets! To the Streets!
