| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PCP Says: REJECT THE ANTI-CLONE AGENDA!
The Pro Clone Party urges all progressive people to reject the ammendment to the Missouri Constitution that would out
law cloning known as the 'Missouri Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative'
.
As our party's
fliers have explained, this is a violation of the civil rights of
identical twins – for they are truly clones, too. Will it be illegal
for parents to conceive and bring identical twins(clones) to term?
Everyone should think hard about the implications of this radical
constitutional ammendment.
Just as in the
Bible it explains that Eve is created as a clone (and GMO) of Adam, we
publicly call for cloning to be used as fully as possible to enhance
human life. There is a limitless potential for cloning of humans and
animals to be used to solve this planet's many pressing problems, from
environmental devestation to overpopulation. Will we stare at the abyss
of a real-life Cornocopia and not plunge in?
The Pro Clone Party says, "Clones today, clones tomorrow, clones forever!" | | |
| October 9, 2006.
Pat Buchanan's latest book is a white nationalist rant -- but that hasn't stopped it from climbing the best-seller charts.
Since
the start of his latest book tour, Patrick Buchanan has appeared on
just about every major television and cable network in the country,
often more than once. He's been on NBC's "Today" show, the three most
watched news programs on FOX, CNN's "Lou Dobbs Tonight," HBO's "Real
Time with Bill Maher," and countless radio programs. During one
four-day period in late August, the author was welcomed on no less than
five NBC-affiliated programs. Together, these appearances have made
Buchanan's new book, State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and
Conquest of America, a runaway bestseller.
The three-time
presidential candidate is no stranger to the major media, being
personally acquainted with many of those who interviewed him. A veteran
columnist with the Creators Syndicate and an analyst for MSNBC,
Buchanan was a founding member of three prime-time network or cable
channel talk shows and has written for many of the nation's major
newspapers and magazines. That might explain the kid-gloves treatment
he got from virtually all his interviewers, most of whom did not seem
to have read or understood the book they were helping to publicize.
In
fact, the book reflects racial views that have now veered to the
extreme. White America is changing color, Buchanan argues -- "one of
the greatest tragedies in human history." The Mexican government is
involved in a plot to take over the Southwestern United States, and
parts of this country already look like the "Third World." The
segregated South wasn't all bad "culturally" -- blacks and whites were
united, after all. America, despite what its founders wrote, was a
nation formed not on the basis of creed but rather a homogenous ethnic
culture. To put it plainly, State of Emergency is a white nationalist
tract. The thesis is that America must retain a white majority to
survive as a nation. It is rooted in a blood-and-soil nationalism more
blood than soil. The echoes of Nazi ideology are clear and chilling. As
Buchanan helpfully explained to John King, who was interviewing him in
one of his several CNN appearances: "We gotta get into race and ethnic
questions."
State of Emergency unapologetically reflects
Buchanan's insistence on the centrality of race to the United States
and its culture. "This idea of America as a creedal nation bound
together not by 'blood or birth or soil' but by 'ideals' that must be
taught and learned ... is demonstrably false," Buchanan writes in the
book.
Simply put, America is not a nation of ideas. It is a
nation of people -- white people. Buchanan is especially overt in
making this case when he endorses the view of his late mentor and
editor Sam Francis, that American and European civilizations could
never have been created without the "genetic endowments" of whites. He
goes on to describe discussions of race as "the Great Taboo"; to ignore
the role of race, he adds, is "like not telling one's doctor of a
recurring pain that could kill you."
None of this seems to bother Buchanan's cheerleaders.
"Congratulations
on the response to your book," said Lou Dobbs, the CNN anchorman who
has made a profession of attacking illegal immigration in story after
story after story, as he introduced his old CNN colleague. Dobbs then
offered up his own view that President Bush was carrying on an
"outright war" against middle-class Americans by allowing illegal
immigration. Wrapping up the interview, Dobbs concluded: "The book is
State of Emergency. It's No. 3 on the best-selling list. ... I'm going
to repeat it one more time. The book is State of Emergency. Pat
Buchanan, always good to talk to you. ... [Y]ou've got a lot of
readers, so keep it rolling."
Dobbs isn't the only one helping Buchanan keep his book rolling.
James
Edwards, a former volunteer in Buchanan's 2000 presidential campaign
and current host of the Memphis AM radio show "The Political Cesspool,"
did his part, too. But this show was no mainstream broadcast. It has
featured an array of past and present Klansmen and neo-Nazis, a
veritable "Who's Who" of the radical right. In an exultant E-mail sent
out by the radio show after Buchanan was featured, long-time white
supremacist Winston Smith celebrated.
"Don't ever let anyone
tell you that this broadcast doesn't matter, my friends," he wrote,
"because when the likes of Pat Buchanan agrees to be on your program,
he does so only after his people have researched the program and
decided it's in their interest."
State of Emergency is not the
first book to reflect Buchanan's racialist philosophy. In 2002,
Buchanan's The Death of the West warned white Christendom against a
looming demographic tipping point. (The book's message so energized
former Klan leader David Duke that Duke fantasized on his own radio
show last year about winning the presidency with Buchanan as his
running mate.) It was in that book -- edited by Francis, chief
ideologue of the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens --
that Buchanan first began using the explicit language of white
nationalism. In his footnotes to The Death of the West, the former
Nixon speechwriter even cited the late William Pierce, author of the
race-war novel The Turner Diaries (the blueprint for the Oklahoma City
bombing) and the founder of America's then-leading neo-Nazi group, to
back up his own arguments.
Once again, to make his case in State
of Emergency, Buchanan relies on a trove of extreme-right sources. His
urgent call for thwarting the "invasion" of non-European immigrants
leans heavily on material written by hate group members or postings on
hate sites, with citations to nearly every sector of the hate movement,
from neo-Nazis to neo-Confederates. He cites the work of white
supremacist James Lubinskas; Edward Rubinstein, of the white
nationalist think tank National Policy Institute; Clyde Wilson, a board
member of the racist and secessionist League of the South; and Wayne
Lutton, a veteran immigrant- and gay-hater. Buchanan also quotes
Lutton's anti-immigrant hate journal The Social Contract.
Buchanan
is equally schooled in hate from abroad, mentioning work of British
white supremacist Derek Turner published in the American hate journal
The Occidental Quarterly, which argues "the civilization and free
governments that whites have created" will collapse as they become a
minority. And Buchanan knows the oldies-but-goodies, quoting English
politician Enoch Powell approvingly at the beginning of his final
chapter. Powell was dumped by the Tory leadership in 1968 for claiming
that non-white immigration would cause "rivers of blood" to flow in
Britain; he has been a white nationalist icon ever since. (In the book,
Buchanan claims Powell was essentially correct in his analysis of the
problem, but that his "Rivers of Blood" speech was taken out of its
original context and distorted.)
Buchanan is especially enamored
of his deceased friend Sam Francis, the white supremacist who was fired
in 1995 by The Washington Times for breaking the "race taboo" and went
on to a 10-year career editing the Citizens Informer, a bimonthly
newsletter put out by the Council of Conservative Citizens, which grew
out of the segregationist White Citizens Councils of the 1950s and
'60s. Far more than Buchanan's friend and editor, Francis was his
mentor. Buchanan knows Francis' racist oeuvre inside and out, citing
some seven Francis pieces. Buchanan's basic argument in State of
Emergency -- America should be a white country and dark-skinned
immigrants threaten it -- was made by Francis for years.
Now, through his old friend Buchanan, Francis continues to be heard from beyond the grave.
Patrick Buchanan: In His Own Words
Excerpts from State of Emergency, The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America:
"Our
ancestors were not paralyzed by guilt. Confident in their culture and
civilization, they believed in their superiority over what Kipling had
called the 'lesser breeds without the law.'"
"Was not Western
civilization vastly superior to the indigenous civilizations it
encountered and crushed, from the Aztecs and Incas in the Americas to
the Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist civilizations from Africa to the
Far East?"
"Against the will of the vast majority of Americans,
America is being transformed ... we are witness to one of the greatest
tragedies in human history."
"Though the South remained segregated [before the Civil Rights movement], culturally, we were one."
"California is becoming -- indeed, has become -- a Third World state."
"Thus the world's finest five-star hotel, the United States of America, becomes the flophouse for the planet."
"Since
Americans of European descent -- unlike Germans -- are not into
sackcloth-and- ashes, but take immense pride in their ancestor's
achievements and bridle at reverse discrimination, it is hard to see a
happy future of peace and reconciliation [if white guilt continues]."
"This
idea of America as a creedal nation bound together not by 'blood or
birth or soil' but by 'ideals' that must be taught and learned ... is
demonstrably false."
"America faces an existential crisis. If we
do not get control of our borders, by 2050 Americans of European
descent will be a minority in the nation their ancestors created and
built."
"A new border war has begun with the first signs of an 'intifada' to retake control of the Southwest."

| A Cháirde,
For the past two decades, the Irish Republican Socialist Committees of North America has sent books into INLA prisoners of war during the holday season, to demonstrate the solidarity with them expressed by the many supporters of the Irish Republican Socialist Party in Canada and the United States.
Over the years, these donations have contributed to the once impressive library of the INLA wing at Long Kesh and the ongoing library of the INLA wing at Portlaoise. We are again initiating a call to all supporters of INLA POWs to make a contribution this year to the effort.
We welcome donations of new or used books on socialism, syndicalism, anarchism, Irish history, anti-imperialist struggles of other nations, liberation struggles against sexism and hetrosexism, radical works on sociology, anthropology, political economy, Irish language texts, and novels with strong political themes. We also welcome cash contributions, because the cost of sending these packages of books to the POWs can be quite expensive.
In order to ensure that they reach the POWs by the holidays, we need to ask that donations be sent to the IRSCNA by November 1st. Those wishing to donate, please send to:
Irish Republican Socialist Committees of North America PO Box 8266 Austin TX 78713-8266 USA
In solidarity, Prison Welfare Officer, Irish Republican Socialist Movement tj@irsm.org http://www.irscna.org

| The Family of Volunteer Patsy O'Hara, Irish National Liberation Army • 11 August 2006
The Sinn Fein 81 Committee have organised 'Night of Remembrance for Hunger Striker and INLA Volunteer Mickey Devine', in Derry's Guildhall on the evening of August 19th.
We call upon The Ex-Lord Mayor of Derry City, Lynn Fleming (Sinn Fein), to use this opportunity to formally apologise, on behalf of the provisional Republican movement, to the Devine and O Hara families for the harassment and attacks which both suffered at the hands of their members, during many months, which in turn contributed to the imprisonment of Patsy and Mickey in 1976.
It was due to death threats from the provisional movement upon the Republican Socialist Movement, which in turn directly led Mickey and Patsy to raid an arms shop in Lifford Co Donegal. During this raid they took 28 medium to low calibre rifles, to protect both themselves and the Movement to which they belonged.
Both (along with two others) were later arrested in Derry and charged with possession with intent.
The charges against Patsy were dropped due to no evidence. The other 3, including Mickey, were later sentenced to 12 years.
If no threats had been made upon the membership and extended families of the RSM, then it would have been unlikely that Mickey would have found himself imprisoned during this period in time.
Patsy had received a beating from a group of up to 13 of the provisional movement a few weeks previous to these threats.
As a family, we have enormous admiration for the Volunteers of the IRA who fought the British war machine to a standstill. But the actions of some of those members (including its Derry leadership) fell far short of the noble aims, objectives, and conduct of that which a freedom fighter's should be.
It is a truly sad reflection upon this organisation that they were busier harassing, threatening and attempting to prevent Irish Republican Socialist revolutionaries like Patsy and Mickey from conducting attacks against British army and RUC personnel.....than they were persuing republican objectives themselves.
We also acknowledge the genuine people involved in the above committee who have worked tirelessly for months in setting up fitting commemorations for the ten H Block Hunger Strikers.
And, as they have taken it upon themselves to organise this night of remembrance for Republican Socialist freedom fighter Mickey Devine — a leading member of the Irish National Liberation Army (without, we may add, any invitation to the RSM to participate in, or formally attend the event!), let them take the opportunity to formally acknowledge and apologise to our families.

YEE-HAH!
The people of Conneticut finally did what most of us would love to do (if there were decent alternative candidates!): they threw a pro-war, Shrub-lover out! In case you didn't hear, Joe Lieberman lost the Dem Party primary in his state. Joe Lieberman is the 'democratic' politician famous for making out with Bush and being well friendly with the arms industries. He has promised to run as an 'independent' to demonstrate his contempt for the 'democratic' process. The poor warmonger looked like he might cry when he found out!

So I'm travelling this weekend! Flying out to Chicago for a hunger strike commemoration. This will be in remembrance of the 25th Anniversary of the Irish Hunger Strikes, and unfortunately our POWS face similar threats they did back then. They must still struggle for political status against the British criminalisation policy. Everyone should help out however they can, visit www.ip-sc.info for more.
Chicago will be an amazing time, I've got lots planned. There will be the Dublin v Westmeath match at the pub, ( http://www.hoganstand.com/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=64878 ) the commemoration, playing and coaching some football, and so on. I'm not staying with the usual suspects. I've got something different arranged for my accomodation, (shhh, don't tell) and I'm staying longer than I had originally planned.
We're selling tickets for our raffle at the commemoration. They're only $10, if you want one (or a million) just email info@wemustbeunited.com
I just saw the amazing film Paradise Now. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It's an eye opening look at the occupation of Palestine that the pro-Zionist media doesn't show. This was some of the best performances I've ever seen - the natural humanity and humour on display made you wonder if these were really actors.
My peeps are doing a RAWK OPERA! It's going to be not only a Rawk Opera, but an epic by any literary measurement. Feel the vibe here: www.xanga.com/onetruegod
Though it was 102F here, I had to finish the move out of my roommate's place, mostly furniture, hahaha. I'm happy for him cos I think this will be a good bit of domestic anchoring for him! I wish him well in his new life. I'll have my own place now which is exciting.
One of my good friends and comrades in Ireland sent me a CD of Damien Dempsey. It's good, which is the problem - the heartbreaking songs are too well crafted!!!
I've also got a pile of Proclomation Republic fliers by Rising Youth. They are in Irish and English. If you want one, holla.
The Free People's Movement has been under severe attack. One of their members was imprisoned by the Dept of Homeland Security. He and another member face jail time for unrelated charges stemming from political activity. They need all the support they can get. if you want to help them out, visit www.freepeoplesmovement.org | | |
