"People's Uprisings"

I post this article about the Libyan 'war' in the hopes that we all can look a bit deeper at the countries like Syria, and Libya, where supposed 'popular uprisings' have been, or are, going on, before we automatically take sides. I do not support the Syrian government in it's obvious terror against ...

Once again, a media outlet is selectively quoting GG. I am so tired of this. Let's just hope the convoy gets through to Palestine and trust it's members arrive safely.

Well, thanks for those video clips. Another morning with a bit of hope for the future. I sure hope GG can manage to help to improve the lives of those folks living in his new constituency. The press in the UK needs to be proven wrong, regarding the nasty talking points I keep hearing them throw at ...

I am able download the audio on a regular basis by subscribing via iTunes to PMQ. Of course, I have none of the episodes from when GG was in Parliament in the past.

What a difference it makes to actually see the video! Your memory is good enough for me Luke...and a big 'up' to you for posting the ...

Thanks for posting this! So is this true, that GG never got to ask a question during PMQ before? That is stunning. Well I hope it happens more often this time around. And a damn good question it was!

I have been thinking about this issue all my life - my father was an Air Force doctor during the Korean conflict. I was born on an American Air Force base. I missed being drafted for the Terrorist war on Vietnam by a few numbers. So I am not unfamiliar with the insanity of this issue.

I do know ...

Wow -Face, you sound like you are channeling George Carlin - GOOD FOR YOU!

I could not agree more. Here in the states we have the most phony patriotic dance. The rich (the Chicken-hawks) always call for the children of the poor to fight the wars (which are never fought unless they benefit the ...

Thank you Major...this show has gotten past the 911 gate-keeping level, and the return callers, including the asinine phantom bingo loving Castro/Cuba/GG hater (the comedy factor he adds is awesome-even if limited), are beginning to become a little bit like the family of callers on talk-sport ...

This appearance by George Galloway at the US Senate should be studied for many generations to come...everything one needs to know about not getting into wars for resources is here, and no one who watches this should ever find a reason to doubt who was right about the negatives about the 'west ...

I live in a very old, (by the standards of the invaders), and very empty - pop. 37 - ghost town. Once upon a time, the town of Darwin, Ca., USA, was a thriving mining town of 10,000 people, back in the 1800's. The operators of the various mines here in the west, imported Chinese workers/slaves to do ...

GG's New York Show

I just want to add my thanks to all who have done the work of recording and posting these downloads of George's New York show. I also hope it stays on the air. And I agree with the comment that it adds a different taste having these Americans calling in... I just wish the callers could refrain from ...

I just found this article on a well known U.S. website.
It seems that John Pilger's newest film has been pulled from being shown at a festival in New mexico - I'll let John's letter to Noam Chomsky speak for itself:
