A bit of fair play politics for the Kansas City Friday afternoon given that our blog community was FIRST to lead this local discourse with scientific research regarding cowtown support for Commander-in-Chief Trump and his order of attack on Syrian military targets.
To wit . . .
CHECK THIS CALL FOR KANSAS CITY "EMERGENCY" PROTEST AND MARCH AGAINST U.S. MILITARY ACTION!!!
And yes, this is from the same group (P.Y.O) involved in a previous incident wherein a protester allegedly smacked that KCPD horse . . .
Check the deets:
No War In Syria! Emergency March
On April 6th, 2017, 100 years after the United States entered World War I, the administration launched over 50 tomahawk missiles at Syria, in an imperialist act of aggression that threatens to drag us into another Iraq War, or worse, another World War.
We do not want another bullshit war, we want people's peace! Every time this happens, innocents die - in "modern" warfare, up to 90% of the deaths are civilians, children included. Then the oil companies, defense contractors, mercenaries and other parasitic corporations come in and profit from these massacres using taxpayer dollars (at least 70 million for those missiles). Finally, the long term economic, environmental, political and moral damage to the world done by destabilizing other countries, destroying their infrastructure and killing their people is beyond calculation.
Thus, the Progressive Youth Organization Kansas City and allied revolutionary groups will march from the WWI Museum to City Hall to show that we do not want another war where the rich win and the people (of all countries) lose. We will meet at the Museum at 5, and after some speeches, begin marching down to city hall.
And to be clear: It is not our job to support or oppose Assad, only the Syrian people have the right to make that decision and determine the legitimacy and composition of their government. We must let them make that decision free of US intervention.
Finally, we must not just fight against this war, but the corrupt system that inevitably lead to wars for profit - capitalist imperialism. As long the wealthy and powerful bourgeoisie stand to gain from pointless violence, wars like these will keep being ignited - not only internationally, but even here at home. PYO-KC aims to build a movement to resist this greed.

They should be more respectful.
ReplyDeleteI hear that horse is still pissed.
Support the troops
ReplyDelete^^^No. We don't have to.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame that they are using their energy to support one of the most brutal dictators in the middle-east. I guess they must not read the news much because other countries in the region are applauding the decision.
ReplyDeleteSorry guys, Trump did the right thing.
Yawn. Shut up, commies. Without capitalist imperialism you wouldn't have your nifty smartphone.
ReplyDeleteYour choice of rhetoric is colossally stupid and will do nothing but further alienate reasonable people you might actually be able to reach with this nonsense.
But you felt like you did something right? Vegetable rights and peace!!:)
^^^ Traitor!
ReplyDeleteI guess we can't all get along.
ReplyDeleteBut at least we can admit that gassing innocent children and civilians isn't something we should march for.
Hey snowflakes your girl said to do the same thing before Trump did it.

ReplyDeleteYou win for the MOST IGNORANT statement!
Syria's President Assad is an Alawite, a minority group within Islam, and his government shares power among the different factions. Assad was trained in London as an ophthalmologist.
"One of the most brutal dictators in the Middle East"? There goes your ignorance again! Syria has a long history of cooperation with the United States, going back to the days when Assad's father led the country.
Ever hear of a country called Saudi Arabia? You know, the ones who funded the 9/11 hijackers? The kingdom dictatorship that promotes the radical Wahhabism version of Islam? That kills gays and discriminates against women.
"Other countries in the region are applauding the decision"? Well, gee! Why would other countries in the region want to oust Assad? Because the brutal Saudi dictatorship is Sunni Muslim. Israel wants to see Syria split up, and be more easily dominated. Syria is aligned with Shia Muslim dominated Iran. The Muslim countries who are applauding are Shia controlled countries.
Funny that you said nothing when Saudi Arabia invaded Yemen.
Funny that you said nothing when Bush/Obama blocked American 9/11 families from suing Saudi Arabia.
These protesters are anti-children and pro nerve gas. They are actually pro-war.
ReplyDeleteSo 7 people will march all the way to city hall? Then what? March back?
ReplyDelete4:04, the US does not act for the benefit or detriment of the Syrians or Saudis per se. It must act for the benefit of Americans. If alliance with the Saudis and antagonism against the Alawite Syrians is in our best interest, we will help the former and harm the latter. Their degree of attachment to fundalmentalist Islam is only one consideration.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could believe that Bob but history suggests otherwise.
DeleteThis feels like Trump the traitor doing a PR stunt with Russian cooperation.
The Kansas City Atheist Coaltion, will, as usual, remain silent and useless in this situation.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your attention.
This has been a Public Service Announcement.
Ooooooo another March im not scared but I bet the horse is. I thought libtards loved animals I guess they love socialism more
ReplyDelete5:14 The Kansas City Atheist Coalition also remains silent on unsolicited bulk email too!
ReplyDeleteSo what kind of diversion, comfort, and amusement is everyone seeking this evening?
ReplyDeleteIf there is a nutball faction out there Tony will quickly connect and blow smoke up everyone's ass about it. Jesus the guy is a complete screwball magnet.
ReplyDelete^^^ Welcome to TKC.
ReplyDeleteYou fit right in!
Bwahahahahahahahahhaaha!
Maybe Trump will launch a cruise missile attack against the protestors. I'd drive downtown to watch that.
ReplyDelete631 You have a problem with reality perception.
ReplyDeleteOnly one arrest on a warrant, what a shame.
ReplyDeleteSyria is to Trump as Iraq was to W. Both Trump and W. said they would not be nation builders. Both are liars.

WTF? Surely you're not that dumb.
The Obama and now Trump administration CERTAINLY act for the purposeful detriment of the Syrian people! What the hell do you think has been happening in Syria for years now? The U.S. has been training, funding, and arming terrorist rebels known as ISIS/IS/Daesh, and others to carry out a proxy war against Syria. Why has Europe been flooded with Syrian refugees? Because Obama/Clinton/Kerry propagated a civil war within their country in an attempt to force Assad from power and balkanize Syria. If successful, they will force Russia from their naval base at Tartus, support construction of a natural gas pipeline from Qatar, across Syria, up into Europe, breaking Russia's near monopoly for European gas supplies.
Don't be dumb! Read and educate yourself.
Hey 7:28, Bill Clinton did the same type of missile attacks back in the 90's. Don't let the facts get in the way of your idiotic analogy.
