The splits, suspicion, hostility and insults circulate amongst what may be loosely called the ‘truth community’ and are partly responsible as to why the mass murderer Tony Bliar, was able to set about the killing of over 1,000,000 Iraqi people with impunity.
Face it, just about each and every advocate of the ‘truth’ will have something about them which you ain’t gonna like. The question is, are you going to big enough to push that dislike into the background and generally cooperate for the greater cause?
Cue Amy Goodman.
Amy is(said to be) Jewish (I don’t know for sure, I’ve never asked her) and as such, she has faced the flack many who continually fail to understand the difference between a Zionist (some of who say they believe in the Jewish faith) and a non-Zionist Jew.
For those not familiar with Amy Goodman, she is a author and journalist who has for a long time now hosted a TV/Radio/Internet program called Democracy Nowon Pacifica Radio Network. Her program (along with co-hosts) has done wonders to break news about the horrific crimes of the Bush/Bliar regimes, as well as other similar murderous regimes in other countries across the world. Because of her work, she has helped bring the crimes of multinational corporations such as US company United Fruit and other companies such as Blackwater – the company whose employees are given free hand to engage their death fetishes by murdering Iraqi’s whenever the urge grabs them.
Amy has interviewed hundreds of “important”{wealthy/powerful}people, peace activists, ‘truthers’ and some of the best journalists (REAL journalists) of the modern era. Indeed, Amy’s contribution to the truth movement is deeply, deeply admirable.
But it’s not just her{purported}Jewishness that sees a split opening in the ‘truth comminity’ it is also the fact she seems highly detached from the curse of bipolarisation, whereby you either love the US or love everything the US dislikes. She featured the story of Maher Arara Canadian who was kidnapped by the US under the extraordinary rendition i.e. torture program and sent to Syria for torture.

This ‘country’ helped the US torture people…
Yes, that’s right, Syria! One of the countries Bush added to the first tranche of countries he famously declared as members of the ‘axis of evil’ in his state of the onion address, {North Korea, Iran and Iraq being the original three}. But some anti-Bushers; being victims of bipolarisation, attacked her as trying to demonise Syria.

Democracy Now (and by association Amy Goodman) reports: Report: “Both Russia and Georgia Used Cluster Bombs” No doubt getting the backs up of another segment of the bipolarised crowd.
Another instance of criticism was when she and Democracy Now did a number of articles onthe the killing of photojournalist Zahra Kazemi (wiki entry here) after taking pictures of the Iranian Jail.

Amy was very recently arrested at the Republican National Convention (RNC) — video here — transcript here — and I’m pretty sure that once again she’ll have things said about her like “she enjoyed it / wanted to get arrested on camera” or “it was just to provide credence to cover her secret role” and so forth.

You see, it’s all about criticising the abuse and corruption of the current ruling and power class, no matter WHO or what currently occupies that position. It’s not about whether your personal and relatively unimportant dislikes born of bipolarisation have been perturbed. Do you want to keep sledgehammering away at those who really share your core desires of truth and freedom? Why spend effort against those who work hard against the powers that be? Lets work together.
Expand your perceptions, climb out of your rut. Good luck.
