On Thursday evening, March 24, 2011, a rally was held at the Inner Harbor, in Baltimore, MD. Its focus was to “stop the war on Libya.” The demonstration was sponsored by the ANSWER Coalition. To learn more about this issue, go to: http://warisacrime.org/content/stop-bombing-libya
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi vowed to fight until the end, as he made his first public appearance since the international allied operation began on Saturday. Gaddafi said his troops will be victorious in what he called a "crusader battle" - his address preceded a fourth night of air strikes.
The signs are everywhere for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. But precious few will heed the call. Now Liberty breathes its last gasp. All these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Amid the ongoing coalitional bombardment of Libya it turns out President Obama may have had no constitutional authority for ordering US military involvement. US Rep. from Ohio Dennis Kucinixh says the use of US armed forces is unconstitutional, explaining Obama had no authority to commit US resources without congressional approval. The US now finds itself involved into another war in addition to Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan. 'Bombing villages in order to save villages' -- that didn't work in Vietnam, Kucinich explained. In fact, he argued this time around the Libyan intervention could end up strengthening US enemies.
Friday on The Big Picture it was "Conversations with Great Minds." Thom Hartmann welcomed Ian Fletcher, Senior Economist at the Coalition for a Prosperous America. They discussed the major problems with free trade in America. And are you ready to rumble about the biggest stories of the week? Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker signed his union busting bill without any Democrats present. Will legal action follow? Also will mainstream corporate media ever talk about the problems of corporate control in America? Plus, did Peter King's witch hunt hearings accomplish anything? Thom hosted a panel discussion with Jamie Weinstein, Deputy Editor at the The Daily Caller, Jimmy LaSalvia, Executive Director of GOProud and Bill Press, Host of The "Bill Press Show".
Ian Fletcher is Senior Economist of the Coalition for a Prosperous America, a nationwide grass-roots organization dedicated to fixing America’s trade policies and comprising representatives from business, agriculture, and labor. He was previously Research Fellow at the U.S. Business and Industry Council, a Washington think tank founded in 1933 and before that, an economist in private practice serving mainly hedge funds and private equity firms. Educated at Columbia University and the University of Chicago, he lives in San Francisco. He is the author of Free Trade Doesn't Work: What Should Replace it and Why. | www.freetradedoesntwork.com

On Saturday, March 19, 2011, the Veterans for Peace, along with a broad coalition of antiwar activists, led a rally at Lafayette Park and then a march on the White House. One of the speakers at the spirited event was Ralph Nader. Later, he shared his views with me on the need for the many veterans of U.S. wars over the years to fight for “the greatest goal of all...peace!” To learn more, go to: http://www.stopthesewars.org/

This is a film about the one and only Shimon Tzabar, one of the very few honest Israelis.
I often disagreed with Shimon, however, being artists we managed to live with our differences. I miss Shimon.
Shimon Tzabar (5 March 1926, Tel Aviv – 19 March 2007, London)

The American taxpayer continues to pay for Israel to terrorise children by dropping bombs on residential areas of Gaza. Women and children were injured in Israel's latest bombing. 1worldcitizen

On March 19, ironically on the eighth anniversary of "Operation Iraqi Freedom," a White House Office of the Press Secretary quoted Obama saying:
"Today I authorized the Armed Forces of the United States to (attack) Libya in support of an international effort to protect Libyan civilians," he, in fact, doesn't give a damn about. "That action has now begun," he added, claiming military action was a last resort.
In fact, it was long-planned. All military interventions require months of preparation, including target selections, strategy, enlisting political and public support, troop deployments, and post-conflict plans.
Weeks, maybe months in advance, Special Forces, CIA agents, and UK SAS operatives were in Libya, enlisting, inciting, funding, and arming so-called anti-Gaddafi opposition forces, ahead of Western aggression for imperial control. http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voices.php/2011/03/21/imperial-war-on-libya
