Pacific Free Press was launched in March 2007 by Dutch-Canadian Richard
Kastelein of V.O.F. Expathos, in the Netherlands along with Chris Cook- CFUV radio journalist and Editor in Chief of Pacific Free Press. Cook is based in , Victoria, British Columbia.
The mission of Pacific Free Press is simple: to dig out nuggets of truth from
the slag-heap of lies, ignorance and witless diversion that has buried
public discourse today. Pacific Free Press provides a new venue for
disseminating hard news and insightful, fact-based analysis of the
harsh realities too often ignored or distorted by the mainstream press.
MASSIVE ANTI-WAR MARCH PLANNED FOR JAN. 27 IN D.C. - PROTESTERS WILL URGE CONGRESS TO STAND UP TO BUSH
Peace March Expected
to be Among Largest Since War Began
NEW YORK, NY -- Americans angered
by Bush's plans to escalate the Iraq war will flood the
streets of Washington on Saturday, January 27, in a massive
national peace march organized by United for Peace and Justice
(UFPJ). Marchers will call on Congress to listen to the
voters, not Bush, by using its power to end Bush's war and bring the
troops home. The last three national marches organized by UFPJ each
attracted between 300,000 and 500,000 people.
MoveOn.org has called upon its 3.2
million members to join UFPJ, describing the march as potentially a
"turning point for the war" comparable to how "Martin Luther King Jr.'s
March on Washington in 1963 was a turning point in the fight for equality
and civil rights." The National Organization for Women (N.O.W.) is
mobilizing its chapters to participate. Local antiwar groups in cities and
towns across the nation are mobilizing.
On Monday, United for Peace and
Justice's website received more than 700,000 hits. District Council 37 in
NYC, A.F.S.C.M.E.'s largest district council, and New York's United
Federation of Teachers, the largest teachers union local in the country,
are sending busloads of their members to Washington. Car caravans and
peace trains are heading to Washington, DC, from all over the East Coast,
Midwest and Southeast. Buses and vans are coming from more than 30 states
and 111 cities, including from as far away as Arkansas, Florida, Iowa,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
Judith LeBlanc, UFPJ Co-Chairperson,
said, "Bush's announcement of plans to escalate the war has backfired.
Every day people call or send email to say they will be marching in
Washington with United for Peace and Justice on January 27th to call for
an end to this war. They are demanding that Congress stand up to Bush.
There is no doubt: This is the right action at the right time."
Among those slated to speak at the
pre-march rally are Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson, who last year led
an antiwar march of thousands, the largest protest in Salt Lake City
history; Reverend Jesse Jackson, Jr.; Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH); Rep.
Maxine Waters (D-CA); Bob Watada, father of Lt. Watada, the first military
officer to refuse deployment to Iraq and currently facing court-martial;
and active-duty service people.
On Monday, January 29th, UFPJ is
sponsoring a Grassroots Lobby Day, in which hundreds will press the case
for withdrawal from Iraq directly with their Congressional Representatives
and Senators. The weekend's activities will include a Saturday morning
interfaith peace service and organizing workshops on Sunday.
On Thursday, January 11, United for
Peace and Justice member groups and allies staged more than 1,000 local
protests of Bush's escalation of the Iraq war. UFPJ's March on Washington
is the next step in the antiwar movement's national surge of opposition to
Bush's escalation of the war.

"In yet another shocking prelude towards becoming a Total Police State, Russian Intelligence Analysts are reporting today that the American War Leaders have issued orders to the United States Military Northern Command authorizing the jailing, and military tribunals, for any American citizen critical of the ‘war effort’.
These reports state that the American President has ‘lost his confidence’ in the American Judicial System and has further ordered his War Cabinet to begin attacking civilian judges, and as we can read as confirmed by the MSNBC News Service in their article titled "Gonzales: Judges unfit to rule on terror policy", and which says:
"Attorney General Alberto Gonzales says federal judges are unqualified to make rulings affecting national security policy, ramping up his criticism of how they handle terrorism cases.
“We want to determine whether he understands the inherent limits that make an unelected judiciary inferior to Congress or the president in making policy judgments,” Gonzales says in the prepared speech. “That, for example, a judge will never be in the best position to know what is in the national security interests of our country.”
The American War Leaders have further launched attacks against their own civilian judiciary from the Pentagon, and as we can read as reported by the Jurist Legal Research and News Service in their report titled "US law deans 'appalled' by Stimson criticism of law firms for representing detainees", and which says:
"More than 130 deans of US law schools signed a statement released Monday expressing their dismay at comments made last week by DOD Deputy Assistant Secretary for Detainee Affairs Charles "Cully" Stimson in a radio interview critizing top US law firms for providing pro bono representation to Guantanamo detainees.
"We," the deans wrote, are appalled by the January 11, 2007 statement of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Charles "Cully" Stimson, criticizing law firms for their pro bono representation of suspected terrorist detainees and encouraging corporate executives to force these law firms to choose between their pro bono and paying clients.”
Furthering the complete destruction of the rights of the American people to ‘due process’ and ‘fair trials’, the American War Leaders have passed a new law subjecting their citizens to Military, instead of Civilian trials.
According to reports from the United States, this little known law was ‘slipped into’ a large spending bill unbeknownst to US Congressional Leaders, and though ‘seemingly’ applying to American contractors in fact subjects all American citizens to Military Arrest and Trials.
The most destructive of these ‘new’ laws ‘slipped into’ much larger legislation, and bypassing the notice of US Lawmakers, has overturned over 200 years of American procedures for appointing US Federal Prosecutors, and who are, according the American Constitution, charged with being ‘politically neutral’ so as to afford the citizens of the United States protection against prosecution by a vengeful government, and as we can read as reported by the Associated Press News Service in their article titled "2 U.S. Attorneys in Calif. quit, critics say Bush forced them out", and which says:
"Two U.S. Attorneys in California announced they are stepping down, as critics alleged political pressure from the Bush administration was pushing them and others out of their jobs. Kevin Ryan, chief federal prosecutor for the state's Northern District, and Carol Lam, who headed the state's Southern District, both announced Tuesday they would be leaving their positions.
The two are among 11 top federal prosecutors who have resigned or announced their resignations since an obscure provision in the USA Patriot Act reauthorization last year enabled the U.S. attorney general to appoint replacements without Senate confirmation."
Russian Legal Analysts familiar with American Law state in these reports that the significance of these actions being taking against American citizens by the US War Leaders shows the ‘complete ascendancy’ to ‘total power’ of the American President, and who now is free to rule his Nation by decree free from interference by either the US Congress, or the American people themselves.
So powerless have the US Congress and American people become, that as outrage continues to build within the United States against the expansion of the war in Iraq, and the planned US attack upon Iran, the spokesman for the American War Leader has stated in response to a US Congressional move to block further war making:
"Presidential spokesman Tony Snow said resolutions passed by Congress will not affect Bush's decision-making. "The president has obligations as a commander in chief," he said. "And he will go ahead and execute them."
Russian Intelligence Analysts in these reports to President Putin have asked, “If President Bush feels that he is not constrained by either the elected representatives of the American people, or the American people themselves, we must then consider that he, and his Administration, have become powers unto themselves and that the United States should therefore be considered a dictatorship, not a democracy.”
To the American people themselves, they remain in abject denial of the dark Fascist forces descending around them; but soon, and much sooner than they could believe, and with their families and neighbors disappearing into the vast American Gulag, what they once believed in as the American Dream, will soon be shown for what it really is, an American Nightmare.

All the more reason to get out and protest en masse.
