Professor (Emeritus) Atif Kubursi is as excited as the rest of us that our protests, and the diplomacy at the UN, have slowed the drive to war in Syria. It can resume very quickly, but every effort should now be taken to highlight the peaceful options to end the conflict in Syria without further bloodshed.

November 27, 2011 (SOAPBOX #118) - Cindy brings us a virtual smörgåsbord of principled resisters to a globalized American military empire. [Note to self: some people DO object - and effectively!] First up are Ruth Benn and Ed Hedemann of the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee (NWTRCC). Ed is the author, and Ruth a co-editor of War Tax Resistance: A Guide to Withholding Your Support From the Military. Next comes Cheryl LaBash, co-coordinator of the U.S. Cuba Labor Exchange (an association of individuals who act on their belief that the best way to learn about working people around the world is through meeting with them face to face). Shockingly, they're somehow rather anti imperial propaganda oriented! Plenty of informative and fascinating discussion follows.

Jim Thorpe: World's Greatest Athlete
Sept. 18, 2013, 3:28 p.m.
November 13, 2011 (SOAPBOX #117) - Cindy presents William (Bill) Thorpe, the surviving son of James Thorpe - and Robert Wheeler, his biographer. Jim Thorpe was a Sac and Fox Indian who was sent to the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania, where he led the football team to victories over some of the nation's best college teams. From that point, his career was well launched. In 1912 he participated in the Olympic Games in Stockholm, winning both the decathlon and pentathlon. King Gustav V of Sweden dubbed him "the world's greatest athlete." Ironically, Thorpe's Medals and record were stripped by the IOC after they decided he had played baseball during 1909 and 1910 to earn money as a college student. Afterwards he became a professional athlete - eventually becoming the first President of the National Football League, upon its foundation in 1920. He died and was buried in 1953 - and so began the final conflict saga in his EPIC story, an issue of where he can be laid to rest I believe the case is still being litigated, and the brothers William and Richard [Thorpe] as well as the Sac & Fox Nation have joined the fight for the return of Jim Thorpe's remains to Oklahoma. Please remember: the 2012 Olympics will mark the 100th year anniversary of Jim Thorpe's victories at the 1912 Olympics.

November 6, 2011 (SOAPBOX #116) - Cindy welcomes William Blum, who is an American author, historian, and critic of United States foreign policy. He studied accounting in college. Later he had a low-level computer-related position at the United States Department of State in the mid-1960s. Initially an anti-communist with dreams of becoming a foreign service officer, he said he became disillusioned by the Vietnam War. He now lives in Long Beach, New York. A prolific critic of our militarized world-wide American Empire, William - with his impressive Publications list here for our edification, brings his perceptive intelligence and most sagacious commentary to us here, on our Soapbox. He and Cindy then proceed with the most wonderful discussion!
Sept. 18, 2013, 2:50 p.m.
October 23, 2011 (SOAPBOX #114) - Cindy welcomes Dr. Justin A. Frank M.D. - who practices and teaches psychoanalysis in Washington, DC and is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the George Washington University Medical Center. A clinician with more than thirty year's experience, Dr. Frank has been a former columnist for Salon.com, DailyBeast.com, and continues to be a frequent contributor to HuffingtonPost.com on topics as diverse as politics, film, and theater. He employs the principles of applied psychoanalysis to assemble the kind of psychological profile used in his previous best-selling book Bush on the Couch (ReganBooks 2004, 5, 7) in his new book Obama on the Couch: Inside the mind of the President, released October 18, 2011 by FreePress/Simon&Schuster.

Sept. 18, 2013, 2:40 p.m.
October 30, 2011 (SOAPBOX #115) - Cindy brings us a long-anticipated (and memorable) interview with Chris Floyd, the intellectual light shining through the pages of "Empire Burlesque." A prolific and articulate writer, his perceptive private blog has illuminated all of us here at Soapbox and inspired many of our firm principles. We're not yet certain WHICH topics he'll discuss with Cindy. However, I would guess that he will discuss our recent "Police Riot" in Oakland on Tuesday night, 10/25 2011. That was the evening that Scott Olsen sustained a skull fracture after being shot in the head with a police projectile while peacefully participating in an Occupy Oakland march. Honor our veterans? An Iraq War veteran who survived two tours of duty got his skull fractured in ... Oakland! 53 activists were arrested in Atlanta. while Nationally, SWAT teams were deployed to boot out peaceful protesters! THIS is how we protect our First Amendment rights! Cindy observed the fact that the Occupy movement's terminology about "the 99 percent vs. the 1 percent elite" is not entirely accurate; far too many of the 99 percent are serving as willing tools of the 1 percent - in the police forces, in the media, even in the general public, where you can always find plenty of people eagerly genuflecting to the high and mighty. As Chris notes: "You can smell the fear in the boardrooms (and in their bought-and-paid-for extensions, the government offices) around the world." He and Cindy then proceed with their most wonderful discussion!
Sept. 18, 2013, 2:22 p.m.
October 16, 2011 (SOAPBOX #113) - Cindy brings us this SPECIAL REPORT from the scene of Occupy DC by listener / blogger / journalist Lisa Barr on the rising movement within this country.
the BIG bird
Like all of us here at The Soapbox, Lisa deeply appreciates this rising Occupy movement, which constitutes the first substantial opposition this country has seen during this generation against the Wall Street juggernaut (of vultures) that wants to crush us ALL - so they can more easily drain our blood. We have great hopes for the survival of this mass movement and for the survival of our country - which was once the proud "home of the free": It could yet become so once again. (Which might happen!) Go, all you #Occupy people. You rock!

It's f*^&%ing STUPID to hand out Death Penalties
Sept. 18, 2013, 2:08 p.m.
October 9, 2011 (SOAPBOX #112) - Cindy brings aboard Martina Correia, sister of the likely innocent - but still executed - Troy Davis. Today we all dwell in a dungeon of economically-driven inequality, where so-called "cop-killers" are put to death but killer cops go free with at most a slap on the wrist. (Ask the relatives of Oscar Grant, executed by BART police as he lay on the ground, unarmed and fully cooperating. The unprovoked killing was captured on numerous videos and went viral on YouTube. Oscar's killer was eventually found guilty of "involuntary manslaughter.)" Now it's too late for Oscar. It's also too late for Troy. And back in the present day, Martina is carrying on the fight for accountability. Cindy and Martina discuss this killing, who is responsible and how they can be held to account for what they've done. They talk about the Georgia Parole Board - which will spare the life of one who pleads "guilty," but vengefully kills any who insist on their innocence. This is state sponsored killing of the innocent. Of course, bear in mind that some who proclaim their "innocence" are actually guilty; but who among us are wise enough to NEVER make a mistake? Who is wise enough to carry the burden of choosing life or death - for others? Cindy and Martina continue to explore the relevant issues here
Sept. 18, 2013, 1:59 p.m.
October 2, 2011 (SOAPBOX #111) - Cindy is absolutely thrilled to welcome back another dear long-time Soapbox friend - whom Cindy loves, respects and welcomes.

A $300 Million Freeway Bypass Built on Wetlands - and on a Lie
Sept. 18, 2013, 3:28 a.m.
A freeway bypass is being built around the small Northern California town of Willits. Even network TV is recognizing that it will destroy precious wetlands and is grossly expensive and overbuilt with a capacity for 5,000 vehicles per hour while top traffic around Willits is only 8,000 a day. The breaking news around which this story is built is the discovery that the California Department of Transportation, Caltrans, lied in their permit application to inflate the need for four instead of two lanes.
An effort is currently under way to halt construction and bring back a two lane design for the Northern Interchange, where the bypass meets up with the old two lane highway 101. In contrast to what Caltrans is already attempting to build and de-water, a two lane interchange would only destroy 25% of the wetlands.
