Some things I did while Slacking Off: http://sydwalker.info/blog/sla 2009/08/31
@Penny_Wong A successful Insiders, Minister. Softball questions; easy hits. Your ice cool style excites! All local girls dress like you now. 2009/08/09
@Penny_Wong Before it was just me demanding more subsidies for biggest polluters. Now Aluminum Industry agrees. Will you save civilization? 2009/08/06
@Penny_Wong Glad your fiscal irresponsibility has (some) limits and you have a plan (for your own aggrandizement). Count on my vote! 2009/08/04
@Penny_Wong I'm worried about Australia's biggest polluters. Only >$12 billion CPRS subsidies? Bloody stingy! We're better than that, Penny 2009/08/04

A Green Leader with Guts

December 31st, 2008 by Syd Walker

Meet Cynthia McKinney, US Greens Presidential Candidate 2008

Unlike her Australian counterparts, Ms McKinney is:

well informed about Israel and the middle east
not afraid to speak truth to power
not on holiday while Palestine burns

Thanks Alan. The links you’ve given are superb. For me, her speech to the 9-11 First Responders was especially moving.

Back in March 2008 soon after starting this blog, I wrote a short piece about Cynthia McKinney HERE. I find Cynthia McKinney the most inspirational high-profile politician in the USA today. Guts, brains, beauty, passion, decency and commitment combined.

In Congress, she was a person of colour in a crowd of grey-suited yesmen.

This woman is amazing. Listen to her take on Donald Rumsfield. I really noticed the power and strength of this woman when she gave a speech at a 9/11 first responders benefit. Only if the world at large knew she was running for US president in 2008.

If the mainstream media continues to ignore her and other true patriots, then they are guaranteeing their own extinction and the extinction of the existing order in society. While the world was in a dream last year on the 12th of July 2008, Cythia McKinney and others were ushering in the stirrings of the second American revolution.
