A CALL FOR COORDINATED ACTION (http://800poundgorilla.100webspace.net/geeklog//article.php?story=2009063000522890)
At the risk of incurring the wrath of those pushing the "Free Gaza" campaign, we're going to say what no one else wants to admit: that up until this point, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has given the anti-Zionist movement absolutely nothing.
We believe that her current Gaza activity is a controlled-opposition operation aimed at giving her undeserved credibilitywithin anti-Zionist circles and establishing her as a potential leader of the movement.
Instead of mobilizing our combined resources behind the theatre unfolding in the eastern Mediterranean, let's instead strike them where the weakest: on Israel's central role in the 9/11 attacks.
We propose a coordinated, 48-hour campaign beginning on June 2 at 6:00am GMT, with one objective and one objective only: to get the word out about the Zionist danger -- with an emphasis on the real issues, especially 9/11 -- to as many people as possible, in a single, coordinated blitzkrieg.

Cynthia is doing what she CAN DO and has gone further than any other member of the elected government. I am seriously holding my tongue on what I SHOULD say, but I will let everyone else make-up their minds about what they think about the attacks on Cynthia. As some folks at TIU are aware, things have gotten REALLY interesting since Cynthia and the Free Gaza Movement set sail and the day preceeding departure.
Cynthia is the real deal and even though she doesn't go as far as even "I" would like her to go, SHE IS ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS and I AM PROUD OF HER.
LINDSEY
She has been fighting in the past both for her name and her vision.
While insulting to C.M, this article does cover a lot of her background in her fight. I must say IMHO that she is, at the end of the day, a politician first and foremost. She doesn't name names like she should or could -- kind of reminds me of Gerald Celente's interview with DBS in that respect.
I hope she can get the supplies delivered without too many issues and that the supplies help Palestinians. However, long-term, I wouldn't bet on this political horse to keep winning.

QuoteCynthia McKinney, Rep. for the Loony Left By: Matthew Continetti
Weekly Standard | Wednesday, January 05, 2005
THE INCOMING REPRESENTATIVE FROM GEORGIA'S 4th congressional district is the outspoken Cynthia McKinney. She is a Democrat, she is 49 years old, and she has held the job before. She held it for a decade, in fact, from 1992, when she became the first black woman elected to Congress from Georgia, to 2002--when, she says, the "hostile corporate media," allied with Republicans, "repeated falsehoods" about her, "distorted" her positions, and drove her from "my seat."
That is McKinney's explanation for her 2002 primary defeat, and she is sticking to it. But there are other explanations. Her father, Georgia state legislator Billy McKinney, shared his version with an Atlanta television reporter on August 19, 2002, the night before she lost. The reporter had asked Billy McKinney about his daughter's use of a years-old, moth-balled endorsement from former Atlanta mayor Andrew Young. Such endorsements were worthless, the elder McKinney replied, because "Jews have bought everybody. Jews." In case the reporter didn't understand, he spelled the word: "J-E-W-S." (A few weeks later, in a runoff against a political neophyte, Billy McKinney became a former Georgia state legislator.)
The actual reason why Cynthia McKinney left Congress in 2002 was that, for once, she couldn't outrun her mouth. She had walked along the cutting edge of progressive politics for years--appearing with Louis Farrakhan, calling globalization a "cruel hoax," advocating for Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe--but then, in a March 25, 2002, interview on KPFA Pacifica radio, she suddenly fell off.
