"That which you do not resist and mobilize to stop you will learn – or be forced – to accept.”

To the Anti-War Movement in the United States:

Barack Obama is sending a surge of 20,000 troops to Afghanistan.

An antiwar movement that does not move immediately to oppose the Obama doctrine of shifting the central front of the war on terror to Afghanistan, no longer deserves to be called an anti-war movement. read more...

Mission Statement

 

The World Can’t Wait organizes people living in the United States to repudiate and stop the fascist direction initiated by the Bush Regime, including: the murderous, unjust and illegitimate occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan; the global “war of terror” of torture, rendition and spying; and the culture of bigotry, intolerance and greed. This direction cannot and will not be reversed by leaders who tell us to seek common ground with fascists, religious fanatics, and empire. It can only be possible by the people building a community of resistance - an independent mass movement of people - acting in the interests of humanity to stop, and demand prosecution, of these crimes.

Al Jazeera reported that conditions at Guantanamo Bay have deteriorated in the past year, under Obama's watch:
 
“Within days of Obama's inauguration and subsequent announcement that he would close Guantanamo, prisoners say authorities introduced new regulations and revoked previous privileges at the prison.
 
 
Confronting the Anti-Women, Anti-Abortion “Genocide Awareness Project” at the University of Houston PDF Print E-mail

By Jamilah Hoffman 

Last Friday afternoon, the Dean of Students at the University of Houston sent an email letting the university community know that a group calling itself the Center for Bioethical Reform was “using its First Amendment rights” to present something called the “Genocide Awareness Project” (GAP) at the campus for three days. I read the email thinking Darfur, Rwanda or Serbia, places where real genocides have occurred. 
 
But actually, this group makes the outrageous and infuriating comparison between abortion and actual genocide, and is going to campuses around the country showing enlarged and graphic photos of alleged aborted fetuses, trying to mobilize opposition to a woman’s right to abortion among college students. 
 
I was pissed off and figured I had to do something. But what was that going to be? The U of H campus is not known for its radicalism or even activism. It would be difficult to corral a bunch of students to protest this outrageous display, but I knew these people couldn't go unopposed. That's when I thought of Norma Rae.
 
In the Face of Windstorms: Message from Dennis Loo to the National Meeting of World Can’t Wait PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 19 November 2009 17:10

As those of us know, who have been watching with increasing alarm the repressive, inflamed, violent, and fascistic atmosphere that was whipped up during the unlawful tenure of Bush in the White House, and that has escalated since Obama's taking the presidency, emanating from the studios of Fox News et al and pulpits, the rule of reason, law, fairness, justice and morality have become endangered species:

          * Outrageous lies and monstrous immoral policies (including torture and pre-emptive wars of aggression) emanate from the highest offices of the land;
 
          * an abortion doctor is murdered in his own Church and Christian leaders and reactionaries like Bill O'Reilly excuse and justify the deeds of the murderer;

By Kenneth J. Theisen
 
On January 22, 2009 President Obama issued an executive order, directing that the hellhole prison run by the U.S. military at Guantanamo, Cuba should be "closed as soon as practicable, and no later than one year from the date of this order". He claimed that the U.S. needed to regain the "moral high ground" that it had lost under the Bush regime. (In the interest of brevity, I will refrain from getting into the fact that the U.S. has never held the “moral high ground”.)
 
This order boosted Obama’s standing with millions throughout the world. But now we know the order was merely a public relations gesture meant to placate the world-wide outrage at the abuses and torture conducted by the U.S. at Gitmo.
 
Peoples' Lawyer Lynn Stewart Ordered to Prison PDF Print E-mail

FLASH: Lynne Stewart, peoples' lawyer, was ordered to begin serving a 28 month prison term this afternoon, after a NY federal appeals court rejected her appeal and revoked her bail.  Worse, they sent her sentence back to the federal trial judge, with instructions to consider lengthening the sentence.  Lynne is a tireless fighter for justice, and is on the World Can't Wait Advisory Board.
