I am going to touch on quite a few subjects here so bear with me and I hope you take some time to read up on these topics. Please read my experience in phone banking for Obama at the end.
I caught this on the news this morning, however I have been watching these stories unfold for awhile, but not by U.S. News Reports, but International News Reports. My favorite Democracy Now.
WTF is going on here in the United States, since when do we become the Police of the World. We have two Wars going on, Bush is bombing in Pakistan without the permission of the Pakistani Government, and they are ticked off. Then there is Georgia, whom started the assault on its own people, ticking off Russia. Putin must have steam coming out of his ears, with the talk of Sarah Palin, Bush, and McCain threatening to boot them out of the G8, and now possible War with Russia.
Whether people here at DKos are aware of this or not, but back in 2000/2001, the U.S. staged a coo to take over the Venezualan Government, and replace Chavez. This is not how it was reported in the United States though. They always make it sound like the people aren't happy with Chavez, and this is just not true. The majority of the Venezulans are happy with Chavez, but we have a movement planted there to disrupt their Government. We are doing the same thing in Bolivia, after President Morales, the first indiginous President ever elected in a Democratic process.
This morning I heard a report about the Bolivian and Venezualan U.S Ambassadors expelled from these Countries. They are tired of the U.S. interference.

There are reports that the U.S. took the President in Haiti years back, he has been taken to South Africa and has not been allowed to return. Since then Haiti is not allowed to grow their own food because of trade agreements. Haiti was poor enough, but now these people are forced to eat Mud Pies and practice deforestization for cooking fuel. Food and Medicine have become a real problem and now the Hurricane. You can read mutiple stories on Democracy Now's website on Haiti.

These are just a few stories that I have followed. We are also interfering in Africa, google AFRICOM, we have ground troops on the ground in Africa.
I hardly ever see any diaries on these stories, so I appologize for so many subjects here. It sounds like a Nightmare version of 1984, we are living in a World of Hate Media Doublespeak, Wars all over the World, and this election is going to be a deciding moment of the direction we are going. It makes you wonder if its time to get the passports ready to go, because us Liberals/Democrats/Progressives/Gays are going to be the target, and God only knows what they will do with us. God forbid McPalin wins this election, and Church of the New Wave become a forced United States Religon.
To help get Obama elected, start phone banking, I did yesterday, and last night I went to the Obama Campaign headquarters in Atlanta for a meeting with Moveon.org. On a positive note, Georgia is going to be a hard State for Obama to win, but a Gentlemen spoke last night and said the turnout for on the Ground support in this State is incredible. He said the turnout was so great they had to bring more people in to help. Some 30 people showed up last night, there going to register voters this weekend, and I shared with them my experience in phone banking. Lets get out the vote this is the only way we are going to win and lets win by a land slide.
One last thing, when I started phone banking, its was thrill for me. Don't be scared, its very easy, and the website gives you everything you need. On a call I'd like to share with you, was a White woman age 87. She had a meek sweet little voice on the phone. I asked her Do you mind if I ask you whom your voting for. She said in her little voice OBAMA, he just sounds so good, he just makes more sense. That little voice made my day, an 87 year old White Woman from Georgia, voting the Obama ticket. Hope Yes We Can
