NOW HEAR THIS: Cindy's Internet broadcasts continue!

Remembering the Tragedy  Click here to listen or download, beginning at 2:00 PM San Francisco time.  This week our webmaster is sick, so I'm forced to do this by myself!  He did manage to get the new show up and ready for you, so that much is already taken care of.  As we enter September, I recall back in 2001 on the morning of September 11, when I awoke from what I feel was a precognitive dream to find that two passenger jets had flown into the World Trade Towers and two were out of communication with air traffic control.  My life, your life, and indeed, everyone on this planet's life has not been the same since that terrible day. Some people's lives prospered under the "new paradigm" of global and almost total police state control and with two military invasions and occupations by the U.S. on two countries that did not attack us on 9/11/01.

Most people, though, have felt the pain of war, environmental decay and economic depravity that have been imposed by the U.S. Empire.  This week on the Soapbox, (beginning Sunday at 2PM PDST) my guest is Bob McIlvaine whose son Bobby perished in the lobby of Tower Two on that morning (in an explosion, hmmm) and Bob gives a passionate, well-informed and intense evaluation of that day--and a touching remembrance of his son. 

Please be sure to use the "Click here" link above, and listen to today's discussions!  Along the way, get Two-Time Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient Major General Smedley Butler's woefully not-famous speech, "War is a Racket."  And read it!


Guess what: Leonard Peltier's 66th birthday is September 12th!  It's still not too late to send birthday greetings to an innocent political prisoner.  Brighten up his guaranteed to be bleak birthday in lockdown.  Tell him happy birthday from the Soapbox listeners.  Send a birthday card to Leonard in recognition of his 66th birthday on 12 September:

Leonard Peltier
#89637-132
USP-Lewisburg
US Penitentiary
PO Box 1000
Lewisburg, PA 17837

What do you give a guy who has nothing?

Give him a helping hand.  Send funds to Leonard's commissary account to help him with expenses (phone, toiletries, painting supplies).  The deposit must be in the form of a money order made out to: Leonard Peltier #89637-132.  The Bureau of Prisons will return funds that do not have valid inmate information (providing you have listed your return address).  Personal checks and cash won't be accepted for deposit.  Please, don't enclose anything with the money order.

Send those funds to the following address:

Federal Bureau of Prisons
Leonard Peltier
#89637-132
Post Office Box 474701
Des Moines, Iowa 50947-0001

His story is still available on our site!  (Innocent Leonard Peltier is stuck away, in the Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary - where he cannot read this passage and cannot listen to Cindy's newest show.)  I do thank the Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee (LPDOC) of Fargo North Dakota, who helped us publish Leonard's story.  See our "Book Report" on Peter Matthiessen's masterpiece.  (Please.)
