Sun, 10 September 2006  On Labor Day Weekend, September 1st, 2006 I was fortunate to see Amy Goodman from DemocracyNow.org speak on her book tour with Dr. Robert Jay Lifton. I was notified of this event by my good friend David Byrd who does That Blue Jeans Guy podcast. Armed with my brand-spanking-new Marantz Digital Recorder, I record the entire event. Yeah, the quality may not be that great, you can probably hear me breathing in the background. Also, the Marantz record things in 5 minute segments, so I had to copy the multiple mp3 files into one longer mp3 file. This first 35 minutes is the start of the event and the start of Amy Goodman speaking, actually here entire speech. There will be 2 other parts: If you check out my Flickr site, you will see many of the photos of Ptown that weekend and of this event. Also remember that tonight is the eve of Sept. 11th. The current administration used this day as an excuse to not only invade Afghanistan, but also to go after Iraq which had nothing to do with this dreadful, horrible, tragedy. Never misunderstand, our administration had ulterior motives for going into Iraq. Terrorism was just a convenient excuse to do so. For the past five (5) years, this administration has infered and suggested that Iraq was somehow tied to 9/11 and there is still 43% of the country that still believe it!!!! The lower the education level, the more likely they are to believe it. AND NOW ... ABC wants to put on TV this fake-umentary which tries to put all the blame of 9/11 squarely on the shoulders of the Clinton Administration ... a complete sham and a complete lie!!!! Talk about "revisionist historians." There's more I could say on this, but it will wait until the next time. Peace! Comments[0] |
