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
hang larger banners that read, "Tell the Brass: 'KISS MY ASS' Your
family needs you more" "Sick of Fighting Your Wars" and "Col. Allen [3
ACR Commander]: Do not deploy wounded Soldiers."

This latest
deployment comes less than two weeks after President Obama announced
the second end to combat operations in Iraq. FHD organizers denounced
this as a lie, and pointed to the deployment of the 3rd ACR, a combat
regiment, to Iraq as clear proof. They have stated they will continue
to organize direct action in the Fort Hood community to oppose the wars
as long as troops continue to deploy.

The action organizers have established a website at: http://forthooddisobeys.blogspot.com

Here's a play list of some of my Katrina videos
that been lost in CyberSpace & recently uploaded.

Human

 the National Institute of Health along with representatives from the FDA and CDC held a telebriefing for the press regarding the possible link between XMRV and ME/CFS. The findings of the FDA and NIH showed that 86.5% of blood samples taken from ME/CFS patients (32 out of 37 samples) were found to be positive for variants of the XMRV virus, a retrovirus that is related to HIV This is in comparison with only 6% of a healthy control group (3 out of
44 samples).

This not only confirms the original findings tying the retrovirus to a large number of cases, it identified a host of infectious agents in the same family, called MLV-related viruses..MLV means "murine-leukemia virus," which is one of the 3 identified human retroviruses.  The M in XMRV stands for the same thing, and the R stands for "related."  MLV-related viruses all belong to the same family of retroviruses. 

This new finding of a diverse virus population is more consistent with what we know of retroviruses -- that they tend to mutate frequently, which makes them harder to eradicate.

 This is very big news for the ME/CFS community. It doesn't necessarily prove that the XMRV retrovirus causes ME/CFS, but the strength of this link is now beyond any doubt, and will mean that further studies will be undertaken to see if it is indeed causative. .

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.

Immortal Technique
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
all around the world at the whim of the Neo-Cons in the White House
This is the Bush Doctrine come to life; War, war and more war!
War brought to you by the big corporate-masters who run the show
This isn't just a War on Iraqis or Afghans or Arabs, or even Muslims
It is ultimately a War on us all!
That's because the billions and billions that are being spent on this War
the
cost of tanks, rocketry, bullets and yes even salaries for the 125,000
plus troops, is money that will never be spent on; education, on
healthcare, on the reconstruction of crumbling public housing or to
train and place the millions of workers who have lost manufacturing
jobs in the past three years alone. The War in Iraq is in reality; a
war against the nations' workers and the poor who are getting less and
less while the big Defense industries and making a killing – literally!

What's next Iran, Syria, North Korea, Venezuela?
We've already seen the corporate media
play megaphone to the White House, to build and promote a War based on lies.

War is utilized by the imperialists first and foremost, to crush internal enemies.

We're seeing the truth of its insight
when we see the sad state of American education
the rush of seniors to buy affordable medications from the Canadians
because American drugs are just too expensive,
the threat of privatization of Social Security
and the wave of repression that comes with an increasing Militarized Police;
this is a War on all of us,
And the struggle against War is really a struggle for a better life
for the millions of folks who are in need here in this country!
The fight against the War is really to fight for your own interest
not the false interests of the Defense Industry
or the corporate media or the White House
Down with the Wars for empire!

From Death row this is Mumia Abu Jamal...
