Your Vagina's Belong to Them - V.2
Author: Raine
Date: 04/10/2008 12:02:30
On February 7, I wrote a blog called "Your Vagina's Belong to Them"
This a continuance of that Blog. For those who have not read it, I humbly ask that you do, as it will explain my position about todays blog. Today, as before, it is graphic and contains strong language.
I said the following then: In that post, I mentioned three women's stories. I also mentioned that these were just three woman and that for every three that speak up - I am more than sure - there are many others who will not. The following story proves this to be the case.
In the past week, we have learned of another rape. Another story of an American woman being raped with ties to KBR. This time, it is with a twist... This time it involves a soldier. In this Article from the Nation, she is Lisa Smith. It is a psuedonym. In this article, we read the following: "That dawn, naked, covered in blood and feces, bleeding from her anus, she found a U.S. soldier she did not know lying naked in the bed next to her: His gun lay on the floor beside the bed, she could not rouse him and all she could remember of the night before was screaming and screaming as the soldier anally penetrated her while a colleague who worked for defense contractor KBR held her hand -- but instead of helping her, as she had hoped, he jammed his penis in her mouth." The article goes on to tell us more of the same type of cover-ups from KBR as I posted previously. A soldier did this to her.
Amy Goodman interviewed Lisa Smith and Jamie Leigh Jones (mentioned previously) and I want to share an excerpt of her interview:
In the interview both woman talk about what happened to them. Jamie Jones also revealed that 40 other women have come forward through her new foundation. Lisa Smith, however, Lisa Smith is a MOTHER of a SOLDIER... Her son is a hero to me. She testified yesterday in Washington DC. There is a whole lot that I can still say here. I have made it clear how disgusted I am at our Government and institutional rape... And this is what it is: Rape has been privatized.
And STILL... as I posted back in February... NO ONE HAS BEEN CHARGED.
As of today, April 10th, There are NO criminal charges pending in ANY of these cases.
NO one is being charged in a criminal court for the RAPE and SODOMY of American women by American men. Is this what we are fighting for? Is this OK? Is this legal?
As I mentioned in my previous blog, I say no. But this Department of Justice has said nothing... they have turned a blind eye to the EEOC, VII:
Has Rape become OK when a company sanctions it?
The silence from our government says yes. They decided FINALLY to send someone to this hearing, although I somehow find it suspect. Let me make this clear: Lisa smith was anally and orally raped by members of the US armed forces/and KBR. KBR told her to shut the f*ck up. The US armed forces have done nothing that we know of...
Lisa Smith had to testify in DC, because NO ONE was held accountable... If you don't think these stories are important, let me remind you of this from a month ago:
No sexual assaults are acceptable to me, but 60% of those 2,688 cases were RAPE. In this war the message is being sent that woman are just a mere sacrifice for the good of the mission and the profit margin of the private corporations. With no one held accountable, it seems as though the message from KBR is "yes, rape is acceptable". As long as this administration does nothing, the silence from them makes then complicit in privatizing rape for American Women.
I say No.
OUR Vaginas belong to US.
:peace: and :heart:

This a continuance of that Blog. For those who have not read it, I humbly ask that you do, as it will explain my position about todays blog. Today, as before, it is graphic and contains strong language.
I said the following then:
We have a VERY serious problem. AMERICAN women are just another casualty in Bush's war on terror. In all the drama, the constant dribble of horrific stories we hear every day, the constant numbing down that we all feel, we are missing a VERY serious serial problem with one company in particular.
Halliburton/KBR ... They force employees to give up their civil rights in order to be employed. That means you as a woman have the right to be raped by your fellow workers.
No, I am not kidding. And YES, the Government is complicit.
In the past week, we have learned of another rape. Another story of an American woman being raped with ties to KBR. This time, it is with a twist... This time it involves a soldier. In this Article from the Nation, she is Lisa Smith. It is a psuedonym. In this article, we read the following: "That dawn, naked, covered in blood and feces, bleeding from her anus, she found a U.S. soldier she did not know lying naked in the bed next to her: His gun lay on the floor beside the bed, she could not rouse him and all she could remember of the night before was screaming and screaming as the soldier anally penetrated her while a colleague who worked for defense contractor KBR held her hand -- but instead of helping her, as she had hoped, he jammed his penis in her mouth." The article goes on to tell us more of the same type of cover-ups from KBR as I posted previously. A soldier did this to her.
Amy Goodman interviewed Lisa Smith and Jamie Leigh Jones (mentioned previously) and I want to share an excerpt of her interview:
AMY GOODMAN: Now, you worked, you believe, for KBR at the time. Did you, as a medic, have to treat one of your assailants?
LISA SMITH: Yes, I had.
[..]
AMY GOODMAN: Is it true your twenty-two-year-old son in the US military in the Middle East was the one who encouraged you to make a formal complaint?
LISA SMITH:Yes, he did. He served seventeen months in Afghanistan, and I wanted to discuss with him before I went to CID to find out his opinion. And I really was leery that he would be angry with me because I was naming people that were in his same military. And he was very definite, very much disgusted that somebody who wore his uniform would do that to anyone, let alone his mom, and he encouraged the report to CID.
says KBR then assigned full-time security guards to her which gave her no privacy to talk about the incident, and her movements around camp were restricted, yet her attackers' movements were unrestricted.
"KBR did little or nothing to restore my sense of safety after I reported being raped," said Leamon.
KBR release a statement today saying, "Ms. Leamon's allegations are currently under investigation by the appropriate law enforcement authorities. Therefore, KBR cannot comment on specifics of the allegations or investigation. The safety and security of all employees remains KBR's top priority. Any allegation of sexual harassment or assault is taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. As such, Ms. Leamon's allegations have been referred to law enforcement authorities and are being investigated accordingly."
Also at today's hearing, for the first time the Department of Justice is slated to answer questions on the investigation and prosecution of alleged sex crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. No one has yet been charged in Leamon's case.
Last December, the department declined to send an official to testify before the House Judiciary Committee hearing on law enforcement efforts to protect U.S. contractors in Iraq. The hearing featured testimony by Jamie Leigh Jones, a young Texan woman who also says she was gang-raped while working for KBR in Iraq.
Like Jamie Jones, Leamon believes she was drugged before her attack.
And STILL... as I posted back in February... NO ONE HAS BEEN CHARGED.
As of today, April 10th, There are NO criminal charges pending in ANY of these cases.
NO one is being charged in a criminal court for the RAPE and SODOMY of American women by American men. Is this what we are fighting for? Is this OK? Is this legal?
As I mentioned in my previous blog, I say no. But this Department of Justice has said nothing... they have turned a blind eye to the EEOC, VII:
Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.Title VII applies to employers with 15 or more employees, including state and local governments. It also applies to employment agencies and to labor organizations, as well as to the federal government.
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.
The silence from our government says yes. They decided FINALLY to send someone to this hearing, although I somehow find it suspect. Let me make this clear: Lisa smith was anally and orally raped by members of the US armed forces/and KBR. KBR told her to shut the f*ck up. The US armed forces have done nothing that we know of...
Lisa Smith had to testify in DC, because NO ONE was held accountable... If you don't think these stories are important, let me remind you of this from a month ago:
US military records 2,688 sexual assaults
The US military has recorded 2,688 cases of sexual assault involving its staff, 60 percent of which were allegations of rape, a study says.
No sexual assaults are acceptable to me, but 60% of those 2,688 cases were RAPE. In this war the message is being sent that woman are just a mere sacrifice for the good of the mission and the profit margin of the private corporations. With no one held accountable, it seems as though the message from KBR is "yes, rape is acceptable".

Where America is headed...
"Comfort Women", young girls and women forcibly sent by the Empire of Japan to "service" the Imperial troops during WWII.
And with the ongoing war on abortion, we're making like prewar Germany...a woman's duty was to bear soldiers for the Fatherland, nothing more.
Point #5:
Rampant Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.

Good morning everyone.
A lot of news this morning.
Raine, the more I read about this stuff with KBR not to mention Blackwater, the more my already high level of disgust goes with these people and it is already very high.

The Release from John Scott said "On April 14th, we will welcome her back to airwaves."
Maybe it will be NovaM. Maybe it'll be Jones. Maybe Momma put in a good word.

Randi was independent before this whole AAR shindig...she could very easily go back to Palm Beach and keep dumping on Rush and mAnn right in their own backyards...
Comment by livingonli on 04/10/2008 13:59:04
Randi was local only before AAR, she wasn't syndicated. A few disgruntled stations could be linking her up or Nova M could pick her up which would give them an even bigger name than Mike Malloy and she would fit in there better
Especially since her boytoy Manzo is a big executive at Nova M.

Yes, Manzo is the CEO over there, and I somehow really believe this could be the thing that makes NovaM a SERIOUS player in progressive Radio.
The Drobny's could cough up a few bucks for her, no? I know that I would be willing to toss a few coins to NovaM to get her back on the Air.
I love listening the Pheonix, I swear if I ever get there, I am going to Copper Star coffee, FIRST thing.

At least the cost of living in W. Palm Beach is lower than in New York. Which was the reason why she said she was moving back.
Even as the highest paid person at AAR, she still couldn't afford to live in New York.

Yeah...
I think she'll be better off anyway. She hasn't been happy with the AA management for a while; with good reason. They are screwing up left and right.

The majority of Stephanie's show is her playing audio clips and reading articles. Her interactions with callers are painful because she gets all tongue tied when speaking spontaneously and tends to repeat the same things over and over. I honestly don't think she is very well-informed on much past the basics, which is kind of supported by her appearances on the TV machine. When she runs out of her "material" she's pretty much done. Just my opinion.
I await the slings and arrows with a full suit of armor.

I am not trying to pick on your dad or anything like that Star, my father tried to use that one with me, and I reminded him how much he LOVED raygun... he still thinks he was different, so therefore, his argument became nothing more than him not wanting to acknowledge that it is his party that went wrong...

Randi moved her website to the AAR server way back a few months after the network started. No surprise that they have now screwed things up for her.
I'd expect the redirect, since TRRS's domain name belongs to Randi, will work again once Randi moves the website to the Green 960 server.
I'm also expecting a *lot* of the stations that have been airing Randi will look to Green 960 to syndicate her from them.

No, I told him. I said that's an excuse for you to be lazy....to not make the phone call because "they won't listen to me anyway..." If enough people say that, then yes, you're right NOTHING WILL CHANGE. But, if everyone who sits on their ass and says "They're all the same" actually tried to impress upon them that the time to change is upon us, then they will. And, they have.
And, I mentioned Boxer and Kucinich; especially kucinich because he went into "a;ll politicians come from money."
All of his arguments stem from being uninformed. And, that isn't just my Dad. It's a lot of people!! And, I said to him. . . this is change. . . this conversation. maybe I have made you think and you'll call Dodd when you want him to vote a certain way and you and I, two little people, will have started a ball rolling!

I'd say once the word gets around that Randi's moving to Green 960, they'll be happy campers - well, after they finish short-sheeting all the AAR managements' beds, toilet-papering their trees, egging their cars, and basically making their lives miserable for about five or six years.....

Check out the stuff at Green 960
Randi now works for them. I'd say any syndi will go through them. Mind you, since syndication is based on contracts, any station that has a contract with AAR for Randi's time slot will probably have to wait until the contract runs out. But I'd say G960 is betting they'll make out in the long run.

That is why I would LOVE for her to call into Malloy and talk to Marc tonite

Sam found out via Huffpo that Belzer has been set up next week for Randi's spot.
That's why he's starting to be so snarky about all the opportunities available to on-air hosts now.

His main beef is bashing LIBERALS !!!! ....That's it.... I think some liberal wise asses made fun of him when he was a kid. It's pathelogical with him.

The thing is, he found out thru HuffPo as well, AAR didn't even have the decency to tell him to his face that his services were no longer need.
As far as Belzer, I don't think I have a problem with him, altho, right now ANYTHING AAR does is suspect to me.
I personally would like to see who he supports in the race. That will say it all for me.

I noticed AAP has crashed. Probably because everyone from the RRMB was flocking over there since that site only goes to Air America's site now.

I do hope at least Sammy's on tomorrow. Sounds like he's just going to stick it out now until he gets an offer. If he leaves then it's only Thom and Rachel left. Less reason for me to listen to AAR. I still listen to Laura on weekends when I got a chance but that show is only a shell of it's former self when it was a 3-hour show.

My stream cut out. How did the show end?
Comment by Raine on 04/10/2008 22:06:51
The sammy cam cut away altogether as well...
It sorta just ended. he said I am seder and .. something to the effect 'Randi, whereever you are I hope you do good, hopefully I will see you soon.'
Then after he was off air... Sammy said he is really annoyed with *these people* and that he can't answer the over 200 IM's. He said he doesn't know what is going on...
Lauren put her hand to her chest. I cried. I am a girl. I can... :P

Sam was rather morose at the end. It worried me at first that this Sunday is a best of and next Sunday is a book show, until he reminded us about Passover.
I do wonder if he'll be the next to leave. I still listen to RoF and, of course, Rachel. Not as much Thom, but I do turn his show on when I can. But the reasons to listen to AAR are diminishing rapidly.
If I didn't think it would make me cry again, I'd pop Left of the Dial into the DVD player.....
Those early days really felt like our Camelot.

I didn't get that he was going to stick it out at all.

Oh, I didn't realize about passover.
AAR could have been a great thing. The suits killed it... we never really needed the right wing to do it for us, did we?
Hannity must be thrilled today.
The bright side is that none of those Right wing tools seem to get is that MovaM has been VERY stealthy...
I mean seriously, Malloy and Rhodes?

Here's the condensed version Dear Mondo;
1. Randi has either quit or been fired from AAR depending on who you believe.
2. AAR announced that Richard Belzer will be filling in the shift next week while they look for a new host to fill that time slot. They announced it via a Huffington Post article.
3. Sam who's been doing the show only found out via said Huffington Post article.
4. Sam seemed a little pissed on the SammyCam. There is much speculation that he will follow Randi to Nova M as well.
5. Although I believe his wife will want to make sure he has a paycheck before he quits.

Randi quit.
NovaM hired her.
Sammy found out that Belzer will be filling in for him via huffPo WHILE HE WAS ON AIR.
AAT took down the RRMB... NOT COOL... and then while the refugees were going to AAR, it went down too.
Unless someone knows something I do not know, I see AAR is still down.
Randi is scheduled to be on Larry King tonite.
I think personally that Sammy quit AAr today.

He did say though early in the show that his wife might have her own say in the manner and wants to make sure he has a paycheck. This may have been the straw that broke the camel's back but I don't think he has quit AAR yet. But I guarantee you he's probably talking to NovaM but won't quit AAR until he gets the job. There is that practical matter of needing to feed the family.

BTW, we're thinking about heading back down in a years' time...but to the family compound in Lake Worth, this time. Mrs. TriSec has family in Miami that haven't seen Javi since the last time we were down there in '03...

Funny you should mention that...I am drinking one now.
Bob has turned me into a bourbon fiend, BTW. I've tried several since we started on Jim Beam back at Xmas...I think I have found my brand.

Although I think it's the 90-proof aspect that I like the most...

And they had to waste 10 fucking minutes with Glenn Beck.

da got that feelng from watching Randi.. if they didn't have to break away we might have gotten more info.
did you see the big five minutes?
She said that they found out they could not fire her, becuase of her contract, so they wanted to renegotiate it, she says she chose to quit instead.
Yes, we are still in a situation of he/she said.... I know, but, it seems strange.

Oh, dear.
Well, I know Chris constantly warns us away from brown liquor...
But I have no history with bourbon, as I said, I'm new to it this year and still tasting and trying them.
Although just to piss off Bob...I highly recommend Sobieski Vodka if you can find it. It's a premium vodka produced in Poland and priced to undercut the big boys. It's pretty good stuff.
And Raine....I have about 3 fingers of Gibley's Gin left...once that's done I'm not buying anymore. My brief Gin phase is over, and I remembered why I don't like it.
(sorry, no sketch of TriSec face down in the gutter...)

It looks like all the pissed off RRMB board refugees crashed the server. More people than they could handle. Hope Nova M is able to take over the Randi Rhodes site now that she is with them and not AAR.

Basically they were forcing Randi to amend the contract in order to get back on the air. Under those terms, it was best for her to walk.
Comment by Raine on 04/11/2008 03:12:13
I was onthe phone...Damn, I missed her.
The phone call was important, I was telling a BFF that i got married.
Anywhoo... seems like this mashes up with what Randi ws trying to say on Larry for the few minutes...
