Code Pink has done at Obama's talks, in senate hearings, etc., precisely
what the Black Lives Matter women did at Sanders' rally. They have called
out in the midst of speeches and testimony. The Black Lives Matter people
did precisely the same thing. The problem was the response of the white
Sanders supporters and also, the ineptitude of Sanders and the people
running the rallies in terms of dealing with the interruptions. There's
another really good description of what happened in Seattle, in the current
issue of The Nation, now on BARD. Of course, BARD has been having problems
for the past two days and is down again, but I assume it will be back up
soon.

Yes. Code Pink and others need to raise the issues with Bernie Sanders,
demanding that he take a strong position on ending our Empire's Eternal War.
I do not mean to block Sanders, like the women in Seattle, but to speak out,
to demonstrate, to pass out leaflets, to pressure the media, and then leave
Bernie to ingest all of this and hopefully take a position. At some point
he must deal with the fact that he cannot be pro eternal war and pro social
programs. At the same time, those demonstrating at Sander's rallies need to
be as visible at the public appearances of the Clown Gang. Especially
Walker, Bush and Trump.

Imagine,
we never signed the treaty regarding cluster bombs and we're providing
them to other countries! So, aside from signing some petitions to
Sanders regarding his foreign policy, what does one do? Why isn't Code
Pink interrupting his campaign speeches? If they were, would that help?

Those of us who believe that the use of drones should be stopped
completely, along with our manufacturing and sales of cluster bombs,
need to keep pressure on Sanders. Remember, Bernie Sanders makes it
clear that he wants to reform our existing System. Frankly, until we
have a better educated and informed People, reform may be our best
hope. But if Bernie, or whoever becomes King of the Mountain, he or
she must include a reform of our military/industrial complex that is
currently out of control. The reality, for me, is that we are a long
way from establishing a People's Government.
But it would help ease the strain on our working class if we took
action to remove the special citizenship of our corporations. This is
one time that returning to those, "good old days" has real value.
Once upon a time, governments permitted corporations to exist for specific
Back then, no corporation was too big to fail. If they began to struttp://www.linkedin.com/company/truthdighttp://truthdig.tumblr.com/http://www.
and puff with their self importance, like today's Monster
Corporations, the government simply shut them down, seized their
assets and tossed their fat headed leaders in prison. Now that's the
sort of gutsy government we need today.
Can Bernie Sanders show that kind of backbone? Time will tell.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., would not put a stop to the United States'
lethal and controversial drone campaign if he entered the White
House, the presidential contender said in a television interview Sunday.
On ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos," Sanders said, "I
think we have to use drones very, very selectively and effectively.
That has not always been the case." He added, "What you can argue is
that there are times and places where drone attacks have been
effective. . There are times and places where they have been
absolutely countereffective and have caused more problems than they
have solved. When you kill innocent people, the end result is that
people in the region become anti-American who otherwise would not
have been."
From The Hill:
Sanders indicated that he would limit the use of drones so that they
do not end up killing innocent people abroad, but declined to say
that he would end the targeted killing campaign completely.
Sanders - whose bid for the White House has been gaining support in
recent weeks - has largely steered clear of national security and
foreign policy issues, instead preferring to discuss domestic policies.
On Sunday, he said the campaign is "going to spend more time on"
foreign policy in coming months, noting that the presidential
election season is still young.
"I promise you, we'll address it," he said.
President Obama's escalation of the drone campaign against suspected
terrorists in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and elsewhere has inflamed
some of his critics on the left. Critics accuse the White House of
exacerbating global extremism and of illegally killing Americans,
including Anwar al-Awlaki, who were never given a trial.
