Come meet the Vermont Independence Candidates !
Submitted by Sticomythia on Fri, 08/13/2010 - 2:22pm.
And hear our most excellent home-grown, all-Vermont Funk band, Electric Sorcery !! Playing 2:00 PM at the historic Gathering Inn, Hancock, Vermont !
The doors of sound have been ripped off the hinges by Electric Sorcery who routinely electrify Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. Towns are regularly woken out of their slumber by the by the wicked sound of this power trio.
Electric Sorcery takes psychedelic music firmly rooted in the 70s and adds their own special twist. Funky rhythms and psychedelic guitar riffs come together to create an intriguing sound that is sometimes very heavy.... This is a fun listen and anyone who gravitates towards the psychedelic sounds of the 70s needs to hear this… - SeaOfTranquility.org

1295 Route 100
Diagonally opposite the Hancock Hotel
Please bring your concerns, your hard questions, and your ideas. The Independent vision for Vermont is all about you, your families and communities !

Folks,
As of Friday morning, I am officially on the ballot for Vermont Senator for Addison County! Thanks to you all for your hard work and great ideas. Your contributions have served to get the Independent word out there, encourage people to register to vote, even built a parade float.
But I’m not gonna do an NPR on you and beg for even more funds. Funds’ll come, somehow. What’s really needed is organisational help. I’d like to set up a community forum in Addison County every month until the election. A forum in which people from all walks of life can address the candidates directly with concerns, questions, and even vent steam together with neighbours on how broken the system is. If you know something about community organising and publicity, please contact me directly, robert@senatorwagner.com.

PARSING THE EMPIRE: Iraq Today - Afflicted by Violence, Devastation, Corruption, and Desperation (Stephen Lendman)
Submitted by Rob Williams on Tue, 04/27/2010 - 3:38pm.
Editor's Note: US "news" outlets and most Americans I listen to speak of the U.S. invasion of Iraq as a "tragic mistake." They are wrong. The U.S. government has been wildly successful at achieving its strategic goals in Iraq. To wit: the U.S.
PARSING THE EMPIRE: America's Permanent War Agenda (Stephen Lendman)
Submitted by Rob Williams on Tue, 03/02/2010 - 11:03am.
A useful overview of America's "permanent war agenda." Don't miss the very end of the article, entitled "Obama's Permanent War Strategy, which outlines a strategy that should be painfully obvious to all but the most ostrich-like Obama followers.
Open Letter to former Governor Madeline Kunin
Submitted by Gary Flomenhoft on Wed, 11/25/2009 - 1:44pm.
Dear Governor Kunin,
I am writing to urge you to speak out against further deployments of Vermont troops to Afghanistan and withdrawal of VT troops from Iraq, as Obama promised in his campaign. Obama has betrayed the people who elected him on that basis, and will bring ruin to the US and Vermont if these illegal, immoral wars continue.
THE DAILY MAUL: The U.S. "Doing No Good" In Afghanistan
Submitted by Rob Williams on Mon, 11/16/2009 - 10:03am.
An Afghan woman serving in the Parliament, Malali Joya knows of what she speaks in this eye-opening article.
Last Friday, I was driving and listening to National Propaganda Radio (NPR), and I heard Barack Obama discussing his so-called "four options" with regard to Afghanistan (which essentially appears to be a "debate" about how many troops to send and when.)
He said, and I quote:

In October 2007, the Declaration of the Second North American Secessionist Convention began by asserting “The deepest questions of human liberty and government facing our time go beyond right and left, and in fact have made the old left-right split meaningless and dead.”
