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

Thu Jan 12 20:26:57 CST 2012

This is a case of Greenwald being in accord with Ron Paul-like Libertarians on the issues to be discussed—civil liberties and how they are affected by wars and the imperial mindset, but I believe Greenwald would never subscribe to the economic tenets of Paul-like Libertarians (issues such as no federal social security or national health plans, for example), far from it. However, he clearly sees a value to link with the anti-war Libertarians in order to educate the populace to the current threats to civil rights and the general welfare.

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 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.).
