This morning, I sent this letter to President Obama:
"Mr. President:
I am writing to urge you to announce an immediate cease-fire followed by a withdrawal of all US troops from Iraq and Afghanistan in the fastest way consistent with the safety of our forces.
I urge you to end the use of Predator drones that kill civilians.
I call upon you to cease all covert operations in Africa, Asia, and North and South America.
Too many of your military advisors are implicated in torture, war crimes, cri…

Cynthia McKinney: On My Way to Kuala Lumpur
Hello! There's lots of good news on the accountability front. By now, I hope you know about the Brussels Tribunal's filing in Spain on war crimes committed in Iraq. I will write more on that later because in Luala Lumpur, I will meet with more Iraqi victims and will have a lot more to say after I've spoken with them.

A Message From Mike Ruppert by Cynthia McKinney, October 22, 2009
Hello! As many of you know, Mike Ruppert is singularly responsible for confirming from the inside what many of us on the outside knew: that the black community didn't have the infrastructure to import and distribute crack cocaine from which it still reels today, but the CIA did.
Mike was on it on September 11th! And explained it to us in his book, "Crossing the Rubicon."
Mike is on it in his film CoLLapse, and explains it to us in…

Hello, as promised, I'll give you a brief report from my visit to Cape Town, South Africa.
First of all, I was hosted by two activists who founded Channel Four News, a hard-hitting, truth-telling, non-special interest news outlet serving Cape Town and all of South Africa. But because of their hard-hitting questions to elected leaders, the post-apartheid era government chose to enact regulations that resulted in their temporary shutdown. Undaunted, they organized a very informative film festival…

If we want Policy instead of Speeches
Vers La Verité Speech in Paris by Cynthia McKinney
President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize was not the only news yesterday. And in my opinion, it’s not even the biggest news. It’s not even the saddest news. But it does provide us with some critical information as we move forward. The three-part question for us, tonight however, is “What are we moving forward TO; is that the place we want to go; and if not, what do we do about it?
In other words, “What is our v…

A Vers La Ver?
From Cynthia McKinney, October 7, 2009
Hello all, I've just arrived from Cape Town, South Africa and I have a lot to tell you about that visit. However, this is just a note to let you know that I'm now in Paris doing events around civil liberties breaches, illegal war, occupation, stolen elections and electronic voting machines, 9/11 Truth, and lying governments. Yes, they have the same problems we have in our country. And you know what? It's a…

"Getting to South Africa in time for the Film Festival is as important to me as was putting my feet on the soil of Gaza."
Cynthia McKinney
I was told by a very gracious South African Airlines gate agent that a new law passed by South Africa requiring at least two blank visa pages was strictly enforced and that if they allowed me to fly without the required blank pages, I would be put in jail in South Africa and immediately returned to the US--no questions asked.
I immediately contacted a pass…

How Did We Get From There to Here?
I never want you to take the journey that I'm currently on. So, I want to tell you about it.
It starts on the front of the refrigerator. "The Healthiest Foods on Earth." A two-page primer from apple to watermelon, touting immunity to male fertility support. Inside the refrigerator, natural and organic foods only. On the countertop is the Jack LaLanne juicer, the Magic Bullet, the handy food chopper plus, the food saver vacuum sealer--all items familiar to us…

You either love her. Or you don’t. Few politicians evoke passionate responses the way former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney does.
Since losing her 4th House District seat to DeKalb County’s Hank Johnson in 2006 and moving to California, the 54-year-old McKinney has run for president as the Green Party’s nominee. Last fall, she set her sights on the inter…

No Wonder the Israelis Didn't Want Photos Taken
The Viva Palestina convoy, led by George Galloway, is about to leave Gaza after having been permitted to enter for a period of 24 hours after waiting 11 days in Cairo for permission to enter Gaza. That in and of itself is a major story when expanded to include the inability of Gazans to exit The Strip--even if only to enter another part of their country, the West Bank or to move about freely in the fictional "Palestinian State." I say fictional be…
