PETTUS, W. Va. – Early this morning two concerned citizens, Dea Goblirsch and Nick Martin, locked down to a drill rig on Coal River Mountain’s Bee Tree mountaintop removal site, effectively stopping blasting. Two others, Grace Williams and Laura Von Dolen, joined them in direct support, holding a banner with the message “Save Coal River Mountain”.

These nonviolent protestors have taken this action to bring attention to the extreme danger facing residents of the Coal River Valley from blasting near the Brushy Fork Impoundment. They plan to stay locked down until law enforcement removes them.

Anticapitalists and proletariat activists couldn't ask for a much more deserving protest target than this. This cheery gent is campaigning to close a public library in Oak Brook because POOR PEOPLE USE IT. He also previously blocked the permit for a senior home for the same reason. Here's a few quotables for you:

"I don't want to live next to poor people. I don't want poor people in my town"

"I don't care that you guys miss the librarian, and she was nice, and she helped you find books;"

"This is the real world and the lesson, you folks who brought your kids here, is if you want something, pay for it…"

(Some of those comments were directed at an 11 year old girl who testified against firing all of the librarians)

I want the women of Afghanistan to be liberated. Do I have to support the war?

Short answer: No. In fact, supporting the war only works against their liberation.

If you can’t stand the idea of The Handmaid’s Tale come to life; set in a dusty, third world country, and despise the thought of women being kept out of schools and in large respects the outright chattel property of their fathers or husbands, then in fact you must work as hard as you can to end the continuing U.S. occupation and war against Afghanistan (as well as Iraq, Pakistan, and the potential war against Iran that still lies “on the table”). The reality is that The Handmaid’s Tale continues… While the Taliban were and are harshly oppressive – they are cut from the same fundamentalist cloth as the Northern Alliance which the U.S. brought to power, and the current regime has meant even more acute suffering for most women living in Afghanistan.
