Peace Protestors ask for trial - Won't be prosecuted

Rifkin, Thacher, Turco, Risch had waived pre-trial conference, opted for trial

Charge of civil disobedience won't be prosecuted by DA
By Tr0y Clarkson, Special to Cape Cod TODAY
Local peace activists Sarah Thacher, Diane Turco, Mike Risch and Paul Rifkin from a March 20 arrest for trespassing in the office of U.S. Rep. William Delahunt made an appearance in Barnstable District Court this morning.
Defendants Rifkin (with his ubiquitous "V" for victory finger sign), Turco, Thacher and Risch, await the decision from Judge O'Neill, but the DA chose caution over valor, or no bad press over the opposite, and decided not to prosecute.Appearing before Judge W.J. O'Neill, the four co-defendants opted to waive the pre-trial conference to negotiate a settlement and opted to schedule a trial for their civil disobedience.
"Nolo prosequi" - DA elects to skip the publicity
Likely aided by an effort to avoid the publicity of a trial, the wheels of justice then began to spin swiftly. Local attorney Arthur Riley stepped in to provide pro-bono services and the District Attorney's Office offered a declaration of "nolo prosequi," meaning the DA declined to prosecute further. Paul and his co-defendants were free to go, ending their journey to peace and public awareness without any courtroom theater.
Before the court appearance, the four peacefully protested outside the courthouse with 30 anti-war activists, including many who regularly attend the Saturday morning peace vigils in Falmouth and other supporters from as far away as Boston and Provincetown. After the day's events, Rifkin lamented the disposition, as he was looking forward to the opportunity for the trial to provide a wide venue for his anti-war message.
Defendent disappointed, Debate to follow in Falmouth
"They pulled the rug right from under us" Paul Rifkin
Rifkin said his next step in pursuit of peace will be to follow the next supplemental war appropriation as it ambles its way through Congress. In addition, he is organizing a public forum and debate on the war on terror and has enlisted a hawkish adversary, the writer of this piece and former Falmouth Selectman Troy Clarkson, to offer an alternative viewpoint."

Having been there, I must say I was struck by the passion, cameraderie, and, most important, civility by these folks. I attended to observe as a casual dissenter of the peace movement, but continue to be struck by the conviction and heartfelt sense of purpose. I look forward to the debate!

Dude! The Spanish Civil War... Francisco Franco... Ernest Hemingway... Gary Cooper... "The Abraham Lincoln Brigade" was NAMED AFTER Abraham Lincoln. Picasso? Guernica? Of course your pal Dali wasn't that concerned about fascism...
Ned [Member] writes:
http://www.counterpunch.org/navarro12062003.html ...Dali supported the fascist coup by Franco; he applauded the brutal repression by that regime, to the point of congratulating the dictator for his actions aimed "at clearing Spain of destructive forces" (Dali's words). He sent telegrams to Franco, praising him for signing death warrants for political prisoners. The brutality of Franco's regime lasted to his last day. The year he died, 1975, he signed the death sentences of four political prisoners. Dali sent Franco a telegram congratulating him. He had to leave his refuge in Port Lligat because the local people wanted to lynch him....
Ned [Member] writes:
...He declared himself an admirer of the founder of the fascist party, Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera. He used fascist terminology and discourse, presenting himself as a devout servant of the Spanish Church and its teaching--which at that time was celebrating Queen Isabella for having the foresight to expel the Jews from Spain and which had explicitly referred to Hitler's program to exterminate the Jews as the best solution to the Jewish question. Fully aware of the fate of those who were persecuted by Franco's Gestapo, Dali denounced Bunuel and many others, causing them enormous pain and suffering....
Ned [Member] writes:
....Dali also visited the U.S. frequently. He referred to Cardinal Spellman as one of the greatest Americans. And while in the U.S., he named names to the FBI of all the friends he had betrayed. In 1942, he used all his influence to have Buñuel fired from the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where Buñuel worked after having to leave Spain following Franco's victory. Dali denounced Buñuel as a communist and an atheist, and it seems that under pressure from the Archbishop of New York, Buñuel had to leave for Mexico, where he remained for most of his life. In his frequent visits to New York, Dali made a point of praying in St. Patrick's Cathedral for the health of Franco, announcing at many press conferences his unconditional loyalty to Franco's regime.
Quite a record, yet mostly unknown or ignored by his many fans in the art world....

"As for Abe Lincoln you don't have a clue." BWAHAHAHA Dude the Abraham Lincoln Brigade was a group of American lefties who WENT TO SPAIN to fight FOR DEMOCRACY, AGAINST FRANCO. Hemingway was there and wrote FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS about it...
Ned [Member] writes:
Oh and just to get us RIGHT back to topic, Prescott Bush and his father-in-law George Herbert Walker laundered money in the development of the Ruhr industrial Valley for Fritz Thyssen the financial mentor of ...Adolf Hitler. Fascism is as American as apple pie. The Spanish Civil War was Hitler's rehearsal for the invasion of Poland etc... he gave Franco the airplanes!

Certainly we are pre-veiling in Iraq.

To you, justiceforall, could I offer the Brooklyn Bridge for the modest sum of four quintillion dollars? Keep in mind that four quintillion may not be worth that much in the near future.

I attended the peace rally in Boston back in October. Over 10,000 attended and thousands marched down to Copley Square from the Boston Common...not even a mention in the newspapers, except for a small op piece hidden in the pages where most readers would glance over. I was surprised to see many adults (was on a Saturday) ranging from 30's - 40+, not only college crowd. Speakers ranging from Vietnam Vets to local politicians who don't want this war and believe we've all been duped by the oil companies. Why do you think they attacked the towers? the pentagon? and they were from Saudi, not Iraq. Nice that jr. put the Bid Laden's on a private jet at 2 a.m., the following day, safely back to their homeland.
The protest in Boston was nationwide...but did anyone hear about it? Guess Murrdock's got it covered.

John Swinton New York journalist at a banquet (1880's): "What folly is this, toasting an independent press? There is no such thing in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of "rich men" behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

I haven't read Zakaria's articles yet. A family member passed it on.

I just don't like what corporate america has done to this country via free pass from Bush. I was raised a conservative democrat which I think is just about extinct. I don't see myself as an extreme liberal nor a bible belt republican. I use to vote independent but found I really disliked the republican party and presidents, so I returned to my democratic designation. Word among some of my friends is "there is no two party, since neither can be trusted, they are equally as bad as the other". I'd have to agree, but we have to elect someone, right? And after seeing Rev. Wrights interview on NOW/PBS...yesterday, I'd have to say my vote continues to be w/ Obama.
