At Clinton Speech: Veteran Bloodied, Bruised and Arrested for Standing Silently Wednesday, February 16, 2011 http://www.justiceonline.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=5553 ![]() As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave her speech at George Washington University yesterday condemning governments that arrest protestors and do not allow free expression, 71-year-old Ray McGovern was grabbed from the audience in plain view of her by police and an unidentified official in plain clothes, brutalized and left bleeding in jail. She never paused speaking. When Secretary Clinton began her speech, Mr. McGovern remained standing silently in the audience and turned his back. Mr. McGovern, a veteran Army officer who also worked as a C.I.A. analyst for 27 years, was wearing a Veterans for Peace t-shirt. Blind-sided by security officers who pounced upon him, Mr. McGovern remarked, as he was hauled out the door, "So this is America?" Mr. McGovern is covered with bruises, lacerations and contusions inflicted in the assault. Mr. McGovern is being represented by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF). "It is the ultimate definition of lip service that Secretary of State Clinton would be trumpeting the U.S. government's supposed concerns for free speech rights and this man would be simultaneously brutalized and arrested for engaging in a peaceful act of dissent at her speech," stated attorney Mara Verheyden-Hilliard of the PCJF. Mr. McGovern now works for Tell the Word, a publishing arm of the ecumenical Church of the Saviour in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

At Clinton Speech: Military and CIA Veteran Bloodied, Bruised and Arrested for Standing Silently http://redactednews.blogspot.com/2011/02/at-clinton-speech-veteran-bloodied.html We Must Protest Over There So They Don't Protest Over Here "As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave her speech at George Washington University yesterday condemning governments that arrest protestors and do not allow free expression, 71-year-old Ray McGovern was grabbed from the audience in plain view of her by police and an unidentified official in plain clothes, brutalized and left bleeding in jail." [Note: What a rampant hypocrisy of that b*tch Hillary and of the whole bankrupt U.S. political system controlled by the evil Israel.] US backs protests in Iran http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/8325061/US-backs-protests-in-Iran.html "US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has expressed support for protesters in Iran, saying they "deserve the same rights as they saw being played out in Egypt"." "Too bad the US Government doesn't think the American people deserve the same! Remember the way protesters were locked in cages during the 2004 GOP convention?" FLASHBACK 2008: As convention begins, no protesters in 'Freedom Cage' http://rawstory.com/news/2008/As_convention_begins_no_protesters_in_0825.html "Across town from convention, police clash with protesters." "Secretary of State Hillary Clinton can yak all she wants about supporting the protesters (coup plotters) in Iran, but history clearly shows that the US Government does not support the rights of protesters here in the USA!" WHO IS SENDING YOUR CHILDREN OFF TO DIE IN WAR [IN IRAQ] ? http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/offtowar.html WHO IS SENDING YOUR CHILDREN OFF TO DIE IN WAR WITH IRAN? http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/offtowarwithiran.php Iran vs Israel: What The Media Wants You To Forget http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/IranvIsrael.php "The corporate media have been given their orders to throw the focus back on to Iran. Here is a recap of what they are trying to make you forget. 1. Last Spring, Rose Gottemoeller, an assistant secretary of state and Washington's chief nuclear arms negotiator, asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel refused. 2. The United Nations passed a resolution calling on Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections. Israel refused." IRAN THE DANGER TO WORLD PEACE? I DON'T THINK SO! http://whatreallyhappened.com/content/iran-danger-world-peace-i-dont-think-so-1 "1979 to the present, Iran has not invaded anyone. Not once. People of all religions live in peace in Iran, even Zions, who find life so comfortable in Iran they refused an offer by the government of Israel to emigrate!" "t is obvious that in the wake of the revolution in Egypt that the US/Israel are in a panic and have put pedal to the metal to revive last year's failed coup against Iran, is not trigger outright war. Please report this information everywhere you see articles promoting an invasion of Iran on the premise that somehow Iran is the danger to the world. WE must stop this insanity now." FLASHBACK: U.S. Nuclear Weapons Being “Guarded” by Israel http://poorrichards-blog.blogspot.com/2011/02/flashback-us-nuclear-weapons-being.html "American supporters of Israel were delighted to learn that an Israeli company, Magal Security Systems-owned in part by the government of Israel-is in charge of security for the most sensitive nuclear power and weapons storage facilities in the United States. The largest perimeter security company in the world, Magal started out as a division of Israeli Aircraft Industries (IAI)-which was owned in part by the government of Israel." |

Sibel Edmonds: "I just received the following news and I am way too upset to write a coherent piece on this. Ray McGovern is a good friend of mine. We live less than 10 miles apart. Together we have participated in many events and protests. He is one of the most informed, articulate, gentle, peace-loving and peace-seeking human beings I’ve ever known…For me, this hits too close to home: My father was similarly brutalized by dictator regimes, and that was only the beginning, before it escalated to being tortured and having his toenails pulled out by the state police. Why? He was a doctor, a surgeon with an inquiring mind, and he spoke out whenever he could against dictatorships and for liberties. Participating in peaceful demonstrations, encouraging others to rise up for their rights, and reading authors such as Steinbeck (the American author black-listed there as ‘communist and anarchist’) landed him on the list of to-be-punished and pacified… Right now, at this point, all I have to say to those who second-guess our nation’s police state status is this: “Shame on you!” As for my irate minority friends over here at Boiling Frogs, please help disseminate this news, because the scum bag media won’t;’ thank you." http://www.boilingfrogspost.com/2011/02/16/breaking-news-ray-mcgovern-brutalized-left-bleeding-by-hillary-clinton-police-%e2%80%9cso-this-is-america%e2%80%9d/ |
