Hear Cynthia on KPFA radio all next week. Help promote the tour and pack each event as a way to say WE ARE THE MEDIA! > > Think what people glued to corporate media won’t hear: Embarking last December on a Free Gaza boat trip to break the blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza, Cynthia was daring Israel to prevent the passage of a former member of Congress thro ugh international and Gazan waters; she was never in Israeli waters on either trip. In December, days before its air and ground bombardment of Gaza, Israel ordered its navy warships to ram the Free Gaza boat Dignity, nearly sinking it. > > Returning June 29 on the Free Gaza boat Spirit of Humanity, she and all 21 aboard, including Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Maguire and numerous journalists, were surrounded by Israeli warships, their boat was boarded in international waters in what NY City Councilman Charles Barron called an “act of piracy,” and they were all booked into prison for a week of catching catnaps on a concrete floor, eating meager rations of mostly bread and water but also meeting many Africans in an Israeli prison population that is – surprisingly – mostly Black. > > A day or two after Cynthia was deported back to the U.S., she ac cepted an invitation from British Member of Parliament George Galloway to join Viva Palestina, then stuck at the Egypt-Gaza border with a long convoy of vehicles and medical aid for Gaza. She and Charles Barron led many days of negotiations with an unfriendly Egyptian government that succeeded in allowing some – not all – of the convoy to cross triumphantly into Gaza on July 15. Black people everywhere cheered when they learned that the only well known people with Viva Palestina beside Galloway were all Black: Cynthia McKinney, Charles Barron and M-1 of dead prez. > > Wait ‘til you hear from Cynthia=2 0what she saw inside Gaza! She’ll be armed with videos on her Bay Area Triumph Tour. People glued to the mainstream media won’t see them or hear from Cynthia, but you will! > > DON’T MISS SEEING, HEARING AND MEETING CYNTHIAAUG. 20-24!

Join Cynthia McKinney for the very first stop on her tour – attending the preliminary hearing on the ridiculous, trumped up charge of felony arson of a trash can against McKINNEY her good friend, POCC Minister of Information JR (who is the one t o thank for organizing Cynthia’s Triumph Tour). You’ll recall he was arrested by Oakland police, who know him well as their most severe critic, while on assignment Jan. 7 for the SF Bay View, covering the first Oakland Rebellion following the execution of Oscar Grant. Charges have been dropped against nearly all the 100-plus arrested that night – but not JR. The OPD still has not returned his camera, and they’re still determined to railroad him into prison. Pack the courtroom Thursday, Aug. 20, 9 a.m., at 661 Washington St., Courtroom 112! Stop the whiteout of independent journalists! Support independent media! > > Celebrate, support and join Cynthia McKinney at every stop on her Triumph Tour, Aug. 20-24! > > Mary Ratcliff, edi...@sfbayview.com >
