I had not watched the documentary, "Occupation 101", but I watched the trailer & part 1 on Utube. Basically, it is reminding me that where there is violence by a poorer minority, there is good reason. I certainly think this is true. The most damaging idea to society is not to realize that if any person is vulnerable to abuses of freedom and protection any one of us are vulnerable. Most of the people I meet are not concerned about losing their freedom to FISA or any other bill, they are not concerned that we are killing and supporting killing in other countries such as Iraq and Mexico (through the War on Drugs) because they don't want to look like they might be a fanatic about anything. I am going to vote Cynthia McKinney because she seems to be the most informed and willing to address with the public issues that are hard to face.

For anyone who hasn't seen this documentary, "Occupation 101" ,IN FULL,you should,it's very historical,factual,with accurate statistics economically and politically.
I hope you will be brave enough and patient enough to view the whole documentary.
After all it's historical,cultural and political education that schools will NEVER show. They prefer the corporate indocrination TV and dreamland stuff.
We live in the REAL WORLD!
I hope LinkTV will air this soon,too,because the American voters HAVE TO BE AWARE of what their tax-money is being spent on and who it hurts,kills and maims,as well as assists,domestically and internationally!
And,while OUR MONEY goes to fund illegal wars and occupations OVERSEAS,OUR OWN people,SUFFER AND GO WITHOUT,HERE AT HOME,TOO!
That's a equation which is REALLY MESSED UP!
That's a responsibility that each voter cannot,and should not, morally,ethically and spiritually avoid or ignore!
When I saw Obama,on the media,in Jerusalem/Sderot, with all the Qassam rockets behind him,I was heart-broken that he didn't go to Gaza and show the world the REAL DEVASTATION and mass murder and terrible,terrible things that occur,TEN TIMES worse than on the Israeli side.
And that's not me being anti-semitic IT'S JUST DOCUMENTED FACT.
Besides I'm ANTI-HYPOCRIT and proud of it!
I have to keep reminding myself,that Obama is not YET President,so there's only so much he can say and do PRIOR to getting the votes.
At least his words in Berlin were braver and held hope still.
Many Americans,generally,have NO IDEA,of what their tax-dollars are paying for. Many are innocently naive and therefore VERY VULNERABLE and GULLIBLE to abuse.
If they DID know,they would be appalled,horrified to think that they assisted in the devastation and destruction,because ordinary Americans are basically kind,loving,giving and spiritual.
It's difficult to watch documentaries like this,because the truth is NOT always 'disney'.
But anyone with a good conscience must know the truth,as a moral and spiritual obligation,and so things can change for the GOOD!
Especially BEFORE AN American ELECTION AND NEW President.
After seeing this complete documentary(you can also see the whole thing in episodes on their web-site OR Youtube,if you don't want to buy it or wait until LinkTV shows it), I was so ashamed to think to think of what my Government administration was spending MY TAX money on and what THEY WERE NOT TELLING US,the voters,and citizens of this great 'Democracy'.
And I was frustrated too,because I felt,personally,I could do SO LITTLE to stop this massive internationally ILLEGAL action of America and Israel.SO....
Despite my tight budget,
I bought six extra copies of this documentary 'Occupation 101',and sent/gave them to a college,my Senators AND Senator Barack Obama,to remind him that we ARE AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES of his,or any other politicians,actions and words,AND we won't exchange OUR PRECIOUS CITIZENS VOTES for anything that maintains this immoral and ILLEGAL MAYHEM AND BLOODSHED!

I told him,
"Change" isn't just a word Senator. When it comes to Israel/Palestine/American politics it's a moral,ethical,LEGAL and spiritual OBLIGATION.
It effects ALL Americans too.
And we are in DEEP S**T as it is".
And, I did get an encouraging reply from Obama's team. LOL!

Please,fellow Americans and voters,there are easier things to watch,but there is REALITY we have to face too,before we cast our votes.

Question to the candidates:
In view of the latest Supreme Court decision to favour the Corporation AGAIN,in slashing the Exxon punitive damages,for the Vadez spill to a TENTH of the original,
do YOU OBAMA and McCain agree it would be appropriate to RENAME The Supreme Court,The Supreme CORPORATION????
Seeing as right now they are not acting in accordance with the Rule Of Law,rather blatantly displaying and adhering to, The Rule of Corporate Law!
Disgraceful,despicable!
As President of the United States of America what would YOU,each,do to show the American citizens and YOUR VOTERS that you are more loyal to The Constitution, Bill of Rights and the correct Rule of Democratic Law,rather than IMMORALLY and UNETHICALLY BEHOLDEN to the corporations WHO FUND YOUR CAMPAIGNS?
How are you going to demolish this nefarious 'Supreme Corporation',and re-instate OUR Constitutional Supreme Court?
Think VERY carefully before you answer,because we have YOUR vote,and there is STILL six months TO GO!
