Wheels of Injustice tour
2003-12-03
Hat tip LGF
Billed as "The Wheels of Justice Bus Tour," a brightly decorated school bus will roll into Mendocino County on Thursday, Dec. 4, bringing speakers who have recently been to war zones in the Middle East. Having seen and lived with war, terror, and occupation in Iraq and Palestine, participants in the Wheels of Justice offer first-hand witness about the actual effects of war and occupation on people abroad and Americans at home.
"The Jews need to be wiped out and the Iraqis subjected to more tyranny!"
Isn't Ken Kesey dead yet? Cheeze. He must be 185 years old...
"The bus is really a mobile classroom," says Ceylon Moonbat Mooney, the tour’s national coordinator. "It comes complete with teachers and a wide range of instructional materials: faked videos, touched-up photographs, mendacious essays, pseudo-fact sheets, etc."
"Guaranteed totally devoid of the other side of the story."
Several events are planned in Ukiah and Fort Bragg. The bus will spend Thursday afternoon at Ukiah High School. At lunchtime, in an event sponsored by the Ukiah High Regressive Progressive Club, bus tour speakers will talk with students and faculty. The bus will remain on campus throughout the afternoon.
So it will reek of bullshit.
At 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 4, a presentation and discussion will be held at the Ukiah City Council Chambers, 300 Seminary Avenue. The following day, the bus will travel to Fort Bragg, for a presentation at the Town Hall, on the corner of Laurel and Main Streets. These two evening events are free and open to the public.
"Come on everyone, take the blue pill!"
Commenting on the upcoming events, Gordon Miles, UUSD social studies teacher said, "From a teacher’s perspective, any time we encounter an alternate perspective based on experience, it challenges our ways of thinking. At the same time, our students will challenge their assumptions. This can only lead to greater understanding."
Of course; more people will understand if the Palis get their desired Second Holocaust.
Among the speakers traveling with the bus when it arrives in Mendocino County is John Farrell, 28, an organizer with Voices in the Wilderness in Chicago.
"Sanctions are weapons of mass destruction!"
Farrell recently spent a month in Iraq interviewing ordinary Iraqis on the street and in their homes, talking with U.S. soldiers about their experiences, and witnessing the violence and tensions in Iraqi neighborhoods.
Hey Farrell? Doesn’t it hurt to have your head up your ass like that?
Another speaker, Lauren Anzaldo, is a 24-year-old resident of Pensacola, Fla. She spent two months this summer living and working as an ESL teacher in Jenin, Israel Palestine. A member of the International Pro-Holocaust Solidarity Movement, her presentation will focus on the effects of the "Security Wall" under construction in Palestine, on the day-to-day life of families in Jenin, and on the possibility of peace between Israel and Palestine.
"Heil Haman!"
The Bus, as an instrument in an educational campaign, actually had its beginnings here in Ukiah. Four years ago, Ukiah resident David Smith-Ferri traveled to Fresno to view decommissioned school buses being offered for sale. A month later, he returned to Fresno with money in hand and a "very capable UUSD bus driver," Smith-Ferri said, who drove the bus to Berkeley, where graphic artists at the Middle East Children’s Alliance decorated it. Since then, the bus has criss-crossed the country several times, logging over 60,000 miles. It was present in January, 2001 at George Bush’s inauguration. In November of 2001, it accompanied people who had lost loved ones in the September 11 terrorist acts in a peace march from the Pentagon to New York City. The current Wheels of Justice Tour began in August in Illinois.
Asshats!

#10   Nine Red Herrings: How the Western 'Left' has Misread Iraq

"how it is possible that Marxism has been so corrupted and distorted that “Marxists” prefer to see thousands more Iraqis die in the torture chambers of the Ba’ath, and millions more suffer under the iniquities excused (not caused) by the UN sanctions, rather than admit that socialists not only can but must support even the worst bourgeois democracy against even the least bad tyranny?"
From this site:

should be required reading by those moonbats.

#5  Somehow, I doubt that they're going to mention the 300,000 people that filled mass graves in Iraq, or Arafart's skimming of Palestinian funds for his own personal enrichment. Nosiree....

#3  Ceylon Mooney? Are you sure you didn't make this shit up??!!?!!?

Voices in the Wilderness, indeed: screeching in the moonscape of their intellectual desolation - to mask rank cowering and whimpering in the presence of their private demons; projecting fetid personal guilt and proclaiming it noble discourse; instruments of their own demise and the most perverse of the enemies of freedom.

#2  I read the other day about a guy who bought the remnants of a bus that had been targetted by the Palestinians baby killers resistance. Apparently he plans to tow it around the country as an exhibit of the horrors of terrorism.

His tour should accompany this one.

#1  I hate it when stupid people get a voice. 'Stupid' meaning that they can't out of their own little world, ruled by "Zionist" conspirators.
