sharing what I wrote toBrave New Foundation after the solicitation notice to
support this initiative

Robert Greenwald worked overtime to get Burak Obama elected - when I
joined one of the live blogs during the election to warn that Obama was a Wall
Street puppet, in the pocket of Brzezinski and Gates, chief authors of the Afghan
debacle, my posts were censored - when I saw him come out with RETHINK
AFGHANISTAN, I was livid: Rethink!?!?! - Hell, the whole Global War Of Terror is
crime against humanity - Rethink?!?!? - Several years earlier I bought and hosted
screenings of IRAQ FOR SALE - I even listed our film, THE FALL ‘01
http://www.thefall01.info/ at Brave New Theatres- http://TheFall01.bravenewtheaters.com/

Frankly, now I’m embarrassed to be associated with Greenwald - he strikes me as a wimped out liberal whose work is largely a limited hangout - he may even be a rich asset.
