Our area is so left-leaning it might fall off the scale. One notable exception is longtime local Gerald Celente, a razor-tongued political pundit with hundreds of thousands of followers worldwide. He helms the Occupy Peace & Freedom project, which will hold a rally this Saturday to raise awareness for an issue that ironically used to be embraced by the left: ending American participation in foreign wars. Celente’s call for peace comes as the Russian invasion of Ukraine has racked up over one million estimated casualties. Also speaking will be other firebrands of independent political thought including Judge Andrew Napolitano, Scott Ritter, Max Blumenthal and Anya Parampil. Live music and food vendors will keep spirits high.
