The United States Congress voted 273-156 to pass an amendment giving President Obama authority to train and arm “moderate” Syrian rebels waging war against Islamic extremists. That includes sending $500 million American dollars, dollars that could be used here at home, to train Obama’s proxy army in his illegal war against Syria.
This is all based on lies. The use of the term moderate is a lie. The idea that these rebels will be waging war against their fellow extremists is a lie. Those same extremists and so called moderates have already declared their unity in their fight against the Syrian government. Obama has admitted they are being trained to overthrow the Assad government.
That’s what ISIS has been all about, an excuse to go to war against Syria. The Global War OF Terror, started by war criminals George Bush and Dick Cheney is nothing but a big lie to justify U.S. and Israeli imperialism.
It was a bipartisan approval by both corrupted major political parties. Republicans had 159 yes votes while Democrats had 114 yes votes.
Make no mistake, this is a warmonger, imperialist vote for more war and more imperialism. It is a vote to ILLEGALLY take down the elected government in Syria and destroy the country. It is a vote to use the same terrorists that the U.S. is supposedly at war with in the great neverending Global War OF Terror as a proxy army in a WAR AGAINST SYRIA. It is a vote to continue U.S. imperialism and the insane agenda of the western ruling class to dominate the world and create their New World Order.
Many progressives and liberals continually lament the lack of holding our politicians accountable. Here’s a chance.
Here are the political “representatives” who voted to go to WAR WITH SYRIA. These are warmongers. They have no excuse, they voted yes. Keep in mind however that most if not all but a couple of those that voted no did so not out of opposition to more war and imperialism. They did so for other reasons. Some, particularly republicans, voted no because they want more, they want boots on the ground, full spectrum dominance applied. Check their reasons before voting for them. But for those that voted yes, there is no question.

For those democrats, progressives, and liberals who are against war and imperialism, tell me how you can vote for any of these “representatives” in the next election.
How could you? Based on a lesser evil? There is no greater evil than perpetual war and killing.
If you’re serious, here’s a chance to help end war and imperialism.
DO NOT VOTE FOR THESE PEOPLE!
And make it known why because this is going to happen again and again if we don’t stop them.

Orange Satan if I could. I can’t believe more aren’t making more of this, even though it’s new. Here’s a chance, they fucking voted.
THEY VOTED!
of tossing out Tea Party/GOP Rep. Michael Grimm, who is current;y facing a 20 count federal indictment for mail and tax fraud among other things. He also has some serious anger management issues.
This is a very tight race with Grimm currently ahead by 4 points. NY-11 comprises all of the NYC borough of Staten Island and part of Bay Ridge Brooklyn. There are more registered Democrats than Republicans in the district but voter turn out among poorer and more diverse Democrats has been low in the past. We are working very hard to reverse that with voter registration drives and awareness about what is at stake with this election.
The advantage for the Democratic challenger, Dominic Recchis is that he is also running on the WFP line and has raised more money. The DCCC has flooded campaign with money and launched a media blitz against Grimm.
The worst case scenario is Grimm gets reelected. He could still be convicted on the IRS and fraud charges and have to resign. A special election would have to be held, giving Recchia a second shot at the seat. There are very few Republican choices left with the name recognition. Adding to that, the Staten Island GOP is seriously divided and at “war” with the Conservatives and Tea Party factions.
