Five peace activists successfully blockaded six buses carrying Fort
Hood Soldiers deploying to Iraq outside Fort Hood's Clarke gate this
morning at around 4 a.m. While the activists took the width of Clarke
Rd. and slowed the buses to a halt, police made no arrests, but instead
beat the activists out of the streets using automatic weapons and
police dogs so the deploying Soldiers could proceed.

Among those
blockading were three veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and
one military spouse. (See attached bios) The action, organized by a
group calling themselves "Fort Hood Disobeys," was aimed at preventing
the deployment of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment Soldiers to what the
veterans termed an illegal and immoral occupation.

While
standing in the street, the activists held banners reading "Occupation
is a Crime" and "Please Don't Make the Same Mistake We Did. RESIST
NOW." From the TX HW-190 overpass, additional supporters attempted to

In the spirit of the Oleo Strut, Under The Hood is a place for soldiers
to gather, relax and speak freely about the wars and the military.
Support services for soldiers include referrals for counseling, legal
advice and information on GI rights.

The Under the Hood Cafe
offers an oasis for members of the military to gather and talk of
issues of importance. I welcome the opportunity to meet fellow military
in an atmosphere of peace and ;justice.

The War Vs. Us All


Feat. Mumia Abu Jamal

The war against us all

This war in Iraq isn't the end; it's the beginning of Wars to come

Introduction for the new documentary film - The Blooming of a Movement - 2010!

On
Saturday, thousands of people converged at the White House for the
March 20 March on Washington—the largest anti-war demonstration since
the announcement of the escalation of the Afghanistan war. By the time
the march started at 2 p.m., the crowd had swelled up to 10,000
protesters.

Transportation to Washington, D.C., was organized
from over 50 cities in 20 states. Demonstrators rallied and marched
shoulder to shoulder to demand U.S. Out of Iraq and Afghanistan Now,
Free Palestine, Reparations for Haiti and No sanctions against Iran as
well as Money for jobs, education and health care!

Speakers at
the Washington rally represented a broad cross section of the anti-war
movement, including veterans and military families, labor, youth and
students, immigrant right groups, and the Muslim and Arab American
community.

Following the rally, a militant march led by

Burning Flags and Tearing Down Walls

On March 20, 2010, on the seventh anniversary of the United Statesinvasion of Iraq, at a rally across the street from the White House, before an anti-war march, veterans Robyn Murray, Matthis Chiroux, and mother of a Marine Elaine Brower burned an American Flag in protest of the violent, aggressive United States Government. As a combat wounded veteran and member of Iraq Veterans Against the War, I fully support, endorse, and encourage this symbolic protest. It is important for the general public to see veterans committing non-violent acts of dissent and I hope to see more of it in the future.
