[Peace-discuss] [Fwd: FFF/YAL College Civil Liberties Tour]

Thu Jan 12 16:22:54 CST 2012

This upcoming event in Indianapolis would surely be worth attending.  
The one
in Murfreesboro TN would definitely be more Fun, I think, and convenient 
for those in the south.

The tour is sponsored by Jeff Frazee's YAL and Jacob Hornberger's FFF.
Frazee I know personally.  He is a really good guy.

Glenn Greenwald you no doubt know. Maybe you already read his column in 
Salon.
Greenwald is currently an ex-pat living in South America.
It's significant that he, a Progressive, is venturing back to the USA 
and working with FFF,
an openly Libertarian organization.

The highly intelligent and principled legal scholar Bruce Fein spoke at 
the Rally for the Republic in 2008.
He has called for the impeachment of Dick Cheney, Bill Clinton, George W 
Bush,
and Barack Obama for heinous crimes against the Constitution.
Glenn Greenwald wrote regarding Fein's 2010 book "American Empire: 
Before the Fall":

    / "The central problem Fein examines — the nation’s conduct as a
    world-dominating imperial power rather than a republic — infects and
    exacerbates virtually every serious political and cultural problem.
    It drains our financial resources and threatens the country with
    debt-fueled collapse. It precludes spending on the welfare of
    American citizens for education, infrastructure and entitlements for
    the needy. It is what justifies the endless erosion of civil
    liberties and the acquiescence of limitless, unchecked power to the
    Executive Branch. It is what causes the nation to be plagued by a
    bloated, borderline-omnipotent National Security and Surveillance
    State. It even ironically weakens us militarily and renders us far
    more vulnerable to attack via overstretch and commitments beyond our
    means. And most of all, it degrades the American character by
    reducing us to a militaristic, war-fighting state, wallowing in our
    own fears, insecurities, hatreds and weaknesses."/

Hornberger heads up the Future of Freedom Foundation, a Libertarian 
organization.
Hornberger sends out a daily summary of important articles from around 
the 'net.
FFF's meetings are quite significant.  Check out their 2007 and 2008 
conferences on
American Foreign Policy:  (I particularly liked Laurence Vance's take on 
Christianity and War.).
