Mumia Speaks: 'OUT NOW!'


OUT NOW!
[speech writ. 7/1910] (c) '10 Mumia Abu-Jamal

Ona Move!

It's been two years now into the Obama administration, and despite the hopes of millions who voted for him, the wars are getting worse -- not better.

The Obama administration is engaged in more predator attacks than the Bush administration, and there are rumblings for a war with Iran.

Meanwhile, the anti-war movement has been quiescent, as if Obama bombs are somehow better than Bush bombs!

Isn't it time to heighten the anti-war movement?

War poisons everything; for the state expands its reach and powers through war.

NOW IS THE TIME; NOW IS THE SEASON:
ANTI IMPERIALISM IS THE PERFECT REASON;
IRAQ-AFGHANISTAN WERE FALSE WARS FOR OIL,
IT'S TIME TO BRING THE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT TO A BOIL!

These wars aren't against foreign countries alone; they're against you, your communities, your schools, your civil liberties. These wars have resulted in so called black sites (secret prisons), torture, extraordinary rendition, attacks on Arab-Americans and American Muslims, equally under Bush and Obama.

They have bankrupted the treasury, destabilized the region, and created conditions for horrific 'blowback'.

NOW IS THE TIME; NOW IS THE SEASON;
ANTI IMPERIALSM IS THE PERFECT REASON.
IRAQ - AFGHANISTAN WERE FALSE WARS FOR OIL,
IT'S TIME TO BRING THE ANTI WAR MOVEMENT TO A BOIL!

Thank you,

Onamove!
