Criminalizing immigration, 9/11 rigged?

I haven't posted anything new lately, mostly because I've been really busy with finals week. Ah the life of a college student. Anyway, I am very excited about all of the protest rallies against the recent immigration crackdown that are going on across the country right now. Every time I turn on CNN and see the crowds of hundreds of thousands of people in the streets standing up for their rights I get this fluttery happy feeling in my chest. So awesome to see the people finally putting their foot down and saying no to the bullshit this administration is pumping out. I saw an amazing political cartoon recently... it showed the pilgrims landing and Native Americans meeting them at the shore -

Natives: "Hey there... we're gonna need to see some identification... do you have a green card, papers?"
Pilgrims: O___o "HUH?!"

Hahaha, also I saw a tshirt with an old photo of several Native Americans holding shotguns that read, "Homeland Security: Protecting America since 1492."

Good stuff, good stuff.

But seriously, this immigration shit is pissing me off. I recently heard the Spanish version of the Star Spangeled Banner... it's beautiful. But of course, it's causing an uproar. This is what Bush had to say about it: "Well, I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English, and I think if you want to live in America, you ought to learn English." Pompous ass... I just love how we forget that America STOLE Texas from Mexico less than 200 years ago. STOLE it. Annexed = code word for STOLE. Half of his family is Mexican... how can he advocate stamping out immigration rights? Ass monkey. Anyway, you all have probably heard about the protests going on this Monday, May Day, against HR4437. Supporters are calling for all Latino immigrants to refuse work on May Day. It's being dubbed "A Day Without Immigrants." I'm not sure what sort of protests are going on in Charleston tomorrow, but there's probably going to be something in Marion Square. I'll definitely be checking that out.

I initially thought I wanted to see this movie, but now I'm not so sure. After watching this and this, my entire understanding of 9/11 is beginning to change. I've heard rumors about the conspriacy theories around 9/11 since it happened... but until now I had never seen this kind of hard evidence. Just watch it. That's all I have to say.

Peace and love will win in the end,
Laura
