WAWA/WeAreWideAwake is my Public Service to America as a muckracker who has journeyed seven times to Israel Palestine since June 2005.
WAWA is dedicated to confronting media and governments that shield the whole
truth.
We who Are Wide
Awake are compelled by the "fierce urgency of Now" [Rev MLK, Jr.] to raise
awareness and promote the human dialogue about many of the crucial issues of our
day: the state of our Union and in protection of democracy, what life is like
under military occupation in Palestine, the Christian EXODUS from the Holy Land,
and spirituality-from a Theologically Liberated Christian Anarchist
POV.
"Observe good faith and justice towards all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all...and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The nation which indulges towards another a habitual hatred or a habitual fondness is in some degree a slave...a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils." George Washington's Farewell Address - 1796

"You can stand me up at the gates of hell, but I won't back down." Tom Petty

"We have yet to begin to IMAGINE the power and potential of the Internet." Charlie Rose, 2005

We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that, among these, are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; and, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. -July 4, 1776.

October 11, 2010: Israel Denies Vanunu's RIGHT to FREEDOM Again!
New Book
Chronicles the Whistle Blower of Israel’s WMD Program,
Mordechai Vanunu’s
Freedom of Speech Trial and how an American novelist
became the reporter who
followed it
[Clermont,
Fl.] October 11, 2010—“BEYOND NUCLEAR:
Mordechai Vanunu's FREEDOM of SPEECH Trial and My Life as
a Muckraker:
2005-2010” by Eileen Fleming also documents the Whistle Blower
of Israel’s weapons
of mass destruction program's childhood in Morocco,
multiple crises of faith, 18
years in jail, and 6 ½ years under restrictions that have
denied him the right
to leave Israel and speak to foreigners.
In
1985, Vanunu shot two rolls of film in top-secret
locations in the
Dimona, Israel’s seven-story underground nuclear weapons
facility in the Negev
and he served 18 years in jail for treason and espionage.
According to Fleming, “I was
not a reporter when I met
Vanunu in June 2005, but I was inspired to become one to tell
his story and my
experiences with hundreds of nonviolent Palestinian, Israeli
and international human
rights activists who are seeking security for Israel through
justice for Palestine: an end to the military occupation.”
On
January 25, 2006, Vanunu’s freedom of speech trial began
for
speaking to foreign media in 2004. In 2010, he served a sentence of 78 days in solitary confinement.
Fleming
ended his saga with Vanunu waiting in Tel Aviv, for Israel
to
release him to full freedom.
On
October 4, 2010, the International League for Human
Rights-FIDH/AEDH Germany, announced Vanunu was
awarded the 2010 Carl-von-Ossietzky-Medal and an
international
campaign was launched to assure he be at the Award
Ceremony, in Berlin
on December 12, 2010.
On October 11, 2010, at 1 PM, Vanunu returned to the Supreme Court
seeking to rescind the restrictions that have denied him the
right to leave
Israel and speak to foreigners.
Israel DENIED his appeal

"HOPE has two children.The first is ANGER at the way things are. The second is COURAGE to DO SOMETHING about it."-St. Augustine
"He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust." - Aquinas

“You cannot talk like sane men around a peace table while the atomic bomb itself is ticking beneath it. Do not treat the atomic bomb as a weapon of offense; do not treat it as an instrument of the police. Treat the bomb for what it is: the visible insanity of a civilization that has ceased...to obey the laws of life.”- Lewis Mumford, 1946
The age of warrior kings and of warrior presidents has passed. The nuclear age calls for a different kind of leadership....a leadership of intellect, judgment, tolerance and rationality, a leadership committed to human values, to world peace, and to the improvement of the human condition. The attributes upon which we must draw are the human attributes of compassion and common sense, of intellect and creative imagination, and of empathy and understanding between cultures." - William Fulbright
“Any nation that year after year continues to raise the Defense budget while cutting social programs to the neediest is a nation approaching spiritual death.” - Rev. MLK
