Get Out Of My Country

Hamid Karzai was sworn in for another term as Afghanistan’s President this morning. This against the backdrop of explosive news here in Canada that in 2006 and 2007, senior government officials including the prime minister’s office and the defense ministry were told Afghan detainees taken by Canadian troops and handed to Afghan officials were subject to beatings and electric shocks.

This morning as Ottawa reels from news that could affect Canadian politics and it’s place in international law… a lone Afghan woman is making her way across to Canada arguing that our troops and all foreign forces should get out.

Malalai Joya was 27-years-old when she became the youngest person elected to the new Afghan Parliament. She’s now suspended from Parliament for criticizing other MPs and accusing many of being warlords and criminals. She calls Afghanistan’s democracy a farce and says her country’s liberation is a lie. She has written a book called A Woman Among Warlords. Malalai Joya was in Toronto.

Please wait a moment for audio to load, then press play.

    Our so-called democracy is a farce also. Our state controlled media babbles on about freedom while glorifying the Military Industrial Complex and our near occupation by Civil Service Thugs. An army of brain dead Faux Christians allied with Zionist Terrorists and a Fascist Congress of Whores and War Criminals gleefully watches the slaughter of other people's children from Pakistan to Palestine and chants Amen while worshiping their new idol of Killer Robot Drones. It's all just another video game. Where did they take Jesus of Nazareth in their Extraordinary Rendition? We only have a 'choice' between corrupt Republicrats or Demapublicans and whichever wins through the guaranteed fraud of electronic voting insures that America loses. God help us – though we certainly don't deserve it!
