> > 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 through 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=2
0known 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 what 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! DON’T LET YOUR FRIENDS MISS THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY!

> > > > No jailing of journalists! 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 to 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, editor at sfbayview.com >
