Americans who break laws should not be punished

It's the American way!

what laws did Cynthia brake?

?

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government -- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."
-- Patrick Henry

URGENT UPDATE:

From John Judge
Cynthia's press secretary during her Presidential campaign:
I had another call from Cynthia McKinney who has been told she will remain imprisoned in Ramale, Israel until Monday, July 6 at least along with many others. She asked me to pass along this detail. Among their aid group were three Muslim women from Bahrain who spoke neither English nor Hebrew, and two men from Bahrain. All five of these people were released from custody and flown back to Bahrain in the private plane of the King of Bahrain Sheikh Hamad ibn 'Isa Al Khalifah, where they were welcomed as national heroes.

Good post.

I have a lot of respect for Cynthia. I have been behind her around the same time I 'met' Dr.Paul right after 9/11.

She was taking a huge chance this would happen though. She is brave and seems like she is willing to even 'sacrifice' herself if need be in order to bring attention to those Israeli lizard-heart controllers.

I guess...

the demise of Michael Jackson is faaar more important.
Besides, Israel runs the White House, Wall Street, our media and just about everything else that makes America go 'round...why would they allow anything bad to be said about themselves?

Flood Drudgereport with requests to cover story

Maybe Matt Drudge will carry the story (or the phone recording from jail) if enough of us request it on his news tips line. Go to drudgereport.com, scroll down to news tips box on right side of page and do your thing. If Drudge posts it, it will get "legs".

terrific idea

time for activist action.

Thanks patriot*)

This is very sad...just cannot believe the gutless media & Obama

Discover Costa Rica

Gutless Media?

They're controlled by Israel, so they're not gutless at all. They're just protecting their interests, which centers around Zionism and Israel.

6 of the top 7 media conglomerates in the world are controlled by self-proclaimed Zionists. Who do you think they care about? Americans?

The key to modern warfare is information. Control it and you hold the higher ground.

Information has always been the key

that is, the ability to control conversations has always been the key...

control the conversation, control the thoughts

Anyway, has there been any sort of movement in terms of the Revolution getting its own media?

Where is the web radio/tv?

CNN

All I've seen from the big media is a typed in crawler message on CNN this morning.

I'm no fan of hers but this lack of reporting definitely smacks of self-censorship. Does anyone doubt that if North Korea was involved it'll be covered in-depth?

Thank you to everyone

who helped keeping this story alive on DP.

special cyber hug to you all*)

This is outrageous

if a Muslim country kidnapped an American bus driver, it would have been on the news for weeks, even after they let him go.

An American Congresswoman is kidnapped by Israel, a CONGRESSWOMAN, and there is dead silence from our media.

WOW. I'm really mad now.

God, please help Cynthia.

well said my friend

the media silence speaks volumes.

Incredible

It is absolutely incredible that the MSM is mum on this. It's so in your face.

The American government too is silent. They even put pressure on the Czechs(?) to bust David Duke out. Yet when it's the Israelis and a former member of Congress like McKinney (whom I do like) they do nothing.

bump

why is this not on the news anywhere ...?

you know Israel is only correct on this issue when saying they don't want to listen to the UN .... neither should the USA about anything.....

but this is very wrong - for a humanitarian aid vessel/people to be captured -

our government needs to get them released now -

the only information I have seen is on the streaming link posted here on DP

I like Cynthia.

There are easier things to do to get popular and lecture tours. I think maybe she is trying to shed some light on people suffering. That takes some courage. In the old days it was called civil disobedience, now days you are call terrorist. I don't understand all the anger towards her. It is puzzling and a bit sad.

it is very sad, quiltingsando...

i like cynthia, too...

idiots like granger get on here and say they are tired of cynthia and what is she doing?

well, i'll tell you this...she is doing a helluva lot more than that coward/zionist/faux news sucker granger!

frankly, i'm tired of granger...and i think i'll tell him so!

O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!

I like Cynthia too, and admire her courage.

But I also like the granger -- and even more I like free and civil discussion among freedom advocates without the slurring and name calling you too often resort to when someone's peaceful viewpoint differs from your own.

if it walks like a duck...

etc....its a freakin' duck!

granger is a zionist and i'll call him out on that without ANY reservations...i won't sugar coat it at all and for you to be pacifist is part of the problem...you can take it up the wazoo all you want to and pray for peace...i'll draw the line in the sand and call a spade a spade...

you say tomato, i say tomatoe

O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!

I'm tired of these kind of publicity stunts.

Take it to the UN and GET US OUT OF THE UN.. END THE UN.

Cynthia is doing exactly what kind of help for how many people? With crayons???????

People NEED REAL HELP, not people willing to throw themselves into the fire for future adventurs stories on speaking tours where we get frisked at the door.

How can this LION OF ZION McKinney think she can possibly HELP people or change the UN and it's bloody grip on Israel and Palestine, who, may I remind McKinney, Obama gave more money to Palestine than Israel this year. Israel competes with the USA in military industrial production, and Israel is very very very good, better than the USA, which is why we have this AIPAC argument wrapped in anti-seminism to not unconver the military industrial complex... this is our true enemy as they compete, for better weapons, to serve under the bloody UN one way or another. We've all had UN global government for so long... and with the UN Agenda 21, what is happening in Israel Palestine is about to spread around the world.... Americans need McKinney, or didn't she know? Maybe she doesn't care about Americans? No I think she's living in a fantacy land to think what's happening in America is not about to become it's own Gaza.

Yes, She Should Go On "Dancing With The Stars"

Publicity for a cause never does anyone any good. But dancing makes everyone happy!

DAMN! if MLK had taken that approach he would have lived to a ripe old age...too bad he took his fight to the ptb...instead of "dancing" as you suggest...

O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!

Hey Granger

She's over there trying to do her thing, obviously putting her life on the line. You can disagree with her approach 1000%, but she is doing what she believes in.

That's 10000% better than all of us typing on our computers.

Please ease up on her.

frankly, i'm tired of you...

but we're stuck with you, aren't we?

O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!

Granger's what he is.

We all in this wide movement are going to have differing perspectives...

Granger might exempt Israel from a lot of responsibility sometimes, and others might do the opposite and exempt the U.N. / MIC from responsibility sometimes.....
It's just free men choosing to think how they do, what makes our movement so diverse and personified.

Frankly I didn't agree with his comment about Ms Mckinney and the slander, but he has a right to do as he wishes, and is welcome to say it as he chooses. No one needs to conform to one agenda.

i agree, SimpleSam...

but i also have a right to let him know how much i disagree with his point of view!

O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!

spot on

Had enough of the Hasbara kool aid yet?

Israel basically controls the U.N. whether your fragile mind ever wants to accept that or not. And has a death grip on religion.

She was doing nothing wrong, was in international waters, and Israel basically kidnapped her as would the U.N. or anyone working with them.

Oh and crayons? Please. Never was any report of weapons or anything else, meaningless writing utensils have nothing to do with war or disease.

You give Israel way way too much credit

Cynthia is doing NOTHING wrong. Nothing effective but anyone but herself and furture speaking tours. Buy it. Your IOUs or debt or credit or gold, or what have you.

"you give israel way too much credit"...???

sir, you are either a fool or an idiot...i suspect both!

"future speaking tours..."???...and, if she just happens to get "mostly dead" in the process, say, a ship rams here or she just happens to get blown up over there in harm's way you'll say it served her right, won't you?
...how much money will her speaking tours earn her when she's dead?

other than that, your last post made absolutely no sense whatsoever...are you drunk?

O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!

Over 200 reasons you're wrong..

If the U.N. was so called "controlling" all things Israel, then this would have never happened.
http://www.ifamericanskne...

Over 200 resolutions by the U.N., all of them vetoed and denied by the U.N General Assembly through the USA and its vast military industrial complex.

Of course, just like when you accuse Mckinney of smuggling things into Israel you can't let those pesky facts get in the way.

The head of the U.N. is a joke, a Kabbalist in a gown and a walking tribute to their power.

Also on top of that most of the anti Christain Zionists in the U.N. put this whole thing up for show, because really they never had any intention of punishing Israel. And to this date they haven't, Mckinney proved it without problem once again.

I don't agree with your "vision"

you have not convinced me MCkinney is doing anything for anyone but herself, in the name of others. Shame on McKinney

shame on mckinney?

...shame on jfk, shame on mlk, shame on sadat, shame on all of those who tried to make a difference and were killed while the grangers of the world sat on their thumbs and got drunk!

...shame on granger

O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!

It gets worse

Check the comments from the fox viewers regarding McKinney. I am disgusted.
http://www.foxnews.com/po...

No wonder America is in such bad shape ?

I just read through those comments . disgusting .

Live like you mean it ..... Your life is your own !

sentinel...

are we supposed to fight for those close-minded souls who made all of those comments?

...its enough to make you want to move...

O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!

Thanks for the agreement sentinel

I'm feeling like an old flower in new soil lately........there are so many newcomers. It's difficult to maneuver here these days with all the discontent.
What is going on here on DP?

Hasbara...

Hasbara army is out in full force over all McKinney articles....Likely headquartered directly in Tel Aviv.

Bunch of rabid little monsters will get theirs......There is not going to be any New World Order that will last....as far as I'm concerned.

And McKinney needs to get some emergency relief from the international guard, forget the USA, just get out of there.

Thanks for the explanation

I was disgusted by my fellow americans. Thanks for the realization that they're media hit men. Although I still think the majority of the fox viewers, and others as well, are bigoted small minded morons.

Why

are people so messed up?

Crayons?

They detained these people for trying to deliver humanitarian aid and crayons?

Were these crayons of the exploding variety? Bullet crayons perhaps? Landmine crayons?

What am I missing here?

~shaking head in disgust~

they sure as heck were not

white phosphorus crayons she was dropping off.
Thank you legalize!
Lord, please watch over our sister Cynthia.

Cynthia

We have your back....

We are all PALESTINIANS NOW.

No. they are being subjected miserably

by the Israeli state; but even when they finally get their land free and clear, I wouldn't in any way want to be a part of the Palestinian State. they have an inherently authoritarian religion and, while it's hard to judge people under such duress, their history hasn't exactly shown them to be enlightened folk with individualistic philosophies or wide tolerance for diverse political and lifestyle choices.

you read too many newspapers...

and watch too much main stream media news...

you should get out more...

O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!
