Direct Action to Stop the War is “using Twitter to text people’s cellphones to get them to come to support the [todays] protest and to lend it critical mass at opportune times.”
Using Twitter to send one-to-many text messages is an effective, easy way to broadcast updates and info during fast breaking street protests. And it’s free!

Bush speech hails Iraq ‘victory’
I wonder, is Bush so deluded that he actually believes what he says?

Buddhagem, who I know from antiwar protests in LA, explains why he just left The Blue Voice blog. It was not an easy decision for him and in the video touches on the reasons why.

The two [government sponsored entity] U.S. mortgage finance companies have won relief from stringent capital rules and so can pump about $200 billion into a shaky mortgage market.
This should spur another major rally in the stock market today.

271 blogs will be blogging today opposing the war in Iraq.
I used to think that people in the streets can end the wars. The problem now is that mass antiwar protests have become just part of the background noise and are mostly ignored by the media and government. If you’re serious about wanting to end the wars - and not just doing it to recruit for your little grouplet - then the protests need to have major political impact.
Right now, they don’t. In part this is because the tireless radicals who do most of the organizing for mass protests see the current system as corrupt, not worth dealing with, and view as pointless any efforts to change the system from within. Thus, they will eternally be on the outside, nose pressed against the glass looking in, dreaming of revolutionary change. Ain’t going to happen. The chance of left wing revolutionary change in the US is, IMHO, slim and none.
Also, the left generally attacks the mainstream media as being corporate mouthpieces yet at the same time needs and wants the MSM to give coverage to their protests, demonstrations, and causes. Can’t have it both ways.
What we’re doing isn’t working. We need to devise new ways to get our antiwar message out there. Winter Soldier was a major first step in that direction. We need to, and can, create many more initiatives like that.
