A time for eagles: Code Pink, Muntadar and Ackerman

by Brenda Norrell

(December 19, Ariz., Sri Lanka Guardian) In Washington outside the White House, the Code Pink ladies were throwing shoes at a Bush effigy, while a lone woman, Judy Ackerman, 55, was getting arrested in El Paso for defending the Rio Bosque Wetlands from the destruction of the US Border Wall construction.
It was a day for eagles.

We can only hope that more eagles in the form of whistleblowers will step forward before another dirty coal mine, Desert Rock, becomes a reality on the Navajo Nation, and Peabody Coal is allowed to expand its genocidal tentacles into the heartland of Black Mesa.

Like a morbid octopus, Peabody wants to usurp everything that does not belong to the coal-chewing monster. Like a thirsty cyclops, Peabody wants to drain the pristine waters of the Navajo and Hopi aquifer, with its one eye focused on more dirty millions.

If the highly-paid spin doctors have their way, there will be more Navajo relocation to make way for the Peabody Coal dragon. There will be more lies in the media and more Navajo elderly will die from broken hearts.

Through the years there have been many whistleblowers on the Navajo Nation, exposing the dirty backdoor deals of Navajo politicians and corrupt corporate spiders.

Today, the Censored News blog calls on all those whistleblowers who are home biting their nails to come out and tell the world about the sleazy deals behind the Desert Rock deal and Peabody Coal's latest parasitic coal mining plan.

Already, the sex and cocaine of the US Mineral Management Service in Denver with the Big Oil daddies has been exposed.

We would like to hear from the whistleblowers of the Office of Surface Mining in Denver. We would like to hear about the cash that is flowing to keep people silent in corporate offices and what is going on in the US Interior closets.

We would like to hear about the lush meals and lavish hotels aimed at keeping American Indian politicians voting for dirty power plants in tribal council sessions. We would like to hear about the advocates who receive scholarship dollars to speak out in favor of digging into the Earth Mother.

Meanwhile, there are the shoes to consider.

With more than 7,000 online articles now in Google Breaking News, Muntadar al-Zaidi, the shoe-throwing journalist who called Bush a "dog," and remembered the dead orphans and widows, has become one of the most famous people in the world.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said of al-Zaidi, "What courage."

Today's AP article on the shoe throwers outside the White House says, "The U.S. Secret Service stood by during the protests; however there were no conflicts with authorities and no arrests were made."

How could anyone have a conflict with what the reporter Muntadar al-Zaidi did in Iraq. There is no way to bring back the dead women, children and elderly of Iraq. The mass murders in Iraq can only be considered an act of US genocide. The US kidnappings and tortures were violations of the Geneva Conventions.

Today is Code Pink, Muntadar al-Zaidi and Judy Ackerman Day at Censored News.
