Capitalism has always been a failure for the lower classes. It is now beginning to fail for the middle classes.
There is the past and its continuing horrors: violence, war, prejudices against those who are different, outrageous monopolization of the good earth's wealth by a few, political power in the hands of liars and murderers, the building of prisons instead of schools, the poisoning of the press and the entire culture by money. It is easy to become discouraged observing this, especially since this is what the press and television insist that we look at, and nothing more.
But there is also the bubbling of change under the surface of obedience: the growing revulsion against endless wars, the insistence of women all over the world that they will no longer tolerate abuse and subordination… There is civil disobedience against the military machine, protest against police brutality directed especially at people of color.

- In a special 90-minute broadcast covering the Bradley Manning
verdict, Democracy Now! gets reaction from Jeremy Scahill, national
security correspondent for The Nation. "There was a minor victory that
the judge acquitted him of aiding the enemy.' As a journalist that
travels to Yemen, Somalia and Afghanistan and often meet with people who
believe that they are in a battle against the United States and try to
get their side of the story — a conviction on "aiding the enemy" would
have had far-reaching implications for me and other reporters," Scahill
says, who just completed a book and documentary film titled "Dirty Wars:
The World Is A Battlefield." "But not just those of us who do this in
war zones. Essentially what it would have said is anyone who puts
information on the internet or in any kind of publication that is
downloaded by anyone the United States designates as enemies or
terrorists could have been convicted of, or charged with aiding the
enemy. And that would have been a very dangerous precedent to set."Watch full coverage of the Bradley Manning trial at http://www.democracynow.org/topics/br....
Scahill continues:
"What this case really highlights the utter hypocrisy of the U.S. state in the face of whistleblowers and independent journalism. We are at a moment when journalism is being criminalized by this administration, by the Justice Department, where the Espionage Act is being used, where reporters are having their phone records seized. We're all paying attention to the case of Jim Risen of the New York Times who is being ordered now to testify against one of his sources. The Manning case really dramatizes that people who blow the whistle and who are participants in or observers to what they believe or war crimes. When they blow the whistle on it, they are going to face either death or life in prison. But those who are stenographers for the powerful get invited to do interviews with the President and get invited to play super-soaker fight on Joe Biden's lawn. It is a really devastating commentary that Bradley Manning might go to prison for many years, if not for his entire life, while you have legitimate war criminals walking around free who built up a torture apparatus under the Bush administration and this administration refuses to prosecute.
Last month, we teamed up in
Chicago with CREDO and Rainforest Action Network to hold our first
#NoKXL civil disobedience action against the Keystone XL pipeline,
earning national press coverage and helping with many others push President Obama's stance on climate change forward.
This
August, we're taking our message straight to the State Department
building in DC as they consider whether or not to keep up their
thoroughly bogus pro-KXL whitewashing - and we need your help to let the
world know we're coming.
Thank you for all you do to make this movement real.
Sincerely,
John Sellers, The Other 98%

words
I wrote this back almost 10 years ago.......2005, kos
Words are free. Words, I do not own any word. But when I speak, those words are mine. When I write, mine. I do not to like using name/labels on others……… dubbed, dunked or dominated . Label me, you negate me…said soren kierkegaard ( soren got a cool name I don' no how to put those two dots above the Es and slash the Os ) ……….. I do not cite, by name, the origin, the man, because I want to focus on ……"the message not the media"……….. who said that? A source close to the whiTe house, maybe? . Buddha? via dahli - lahma? Krishna via Vishnu? God via Jesus? Allah via Mohammad , L ron Hubbard via Tom Cruse ? Bill o riley via Fox, Opera via harpo, who? (God, I symbolize only as OM, I call my source sometimes, my concept of Om is just too big to disrespect with just three letters, Om is no name every name, another discussion/time I got some rants)
Someone mistook menu for message……. Confucius , Buddha.? Krishna got extra arms, comes in handy when you also got the Kama Sutra…………I am a flower child, my core values are of tolerance. I do not steal these words, I have previously cited Malcolm x . some would, if honest, dismiss the quote had they known ," if you don't stand for something, You will fall for anything" riot inciter, was his All ,words spoken ………..scribed words belong to every one. This is the device 'O" gave us to bridge thought into action, action through symbols, symbols into reality . However I assembled /disassembled words may or may not be original but I hope sincere. I don't know how to spell , names are most tricky . Puffery and name dropping is another reason I do not cite sources. All paths, Bible, ..Joyce, Milton, Blake, bhaggavhad ghita & other eastern divinities, Siggy Freud said………..Words are majik ……….and at one time the same……………
Yeah, him and ever skewered priest and crisp witch between here and the equator . I have a good argument for original thought. I do not think there is any , everything that is said/written/ thought/can think /was and will/ now and later/ has all ready been done . Why ?…… Our Source said' in the Beginning there was the Word And the word was made flesh …..and seems pissed at the Jews, cut them off Jesus , pork, and foreskin. Oh , and the Nazi-method of birth control. Me and the Jewish are good, but the Source……….. Implications of an end exaggerated but eminent. ……. so……. got the spiritual pov issue out, on to matters of state…………
The first amendment guarantees the right to free speech . The internet is scrubbed using flag- word combinations , what if I mistype a word?……. ali hawk alu- gi perhaps? Are The 'thought-police/homeland security' ready to urgently scramble a team of laptops eager to control a beehive of drone model air-plane probes, to probe my probe? Armed w/sidewinders wtf?, I could go on. Orwell and his big brother was more right than wrong, there is a camera everywhere in the name of security.
Compulsory video indoctrination is labeled entertainment and submission voluntary. Slow subliminal brainwashing. Sun Tzu would be proud…….. Most work places have the spy equipment , both known and unknown to see everything articulated remotely.
Orwell talks about 'new-speak' ………. today we just call it "politically correct". Many more , too many government intrusions for my comfort level. 1984, I am afraid , was just a primer for what's really going to happen.
I take from the banquet of humanity my muse al a carte'. So who said, the media is the message or vise versa? My pal from the revolution days Abby Houffman circa 68.……steal this book pages 1-84.….. Bibliographies take up too much space, I do not want to be selfish and claim ownership of words, but I will shamelessly commandeer words to fit my utility . Now who said…………Life is a buffet and most damn people are starving to death?
ok? the word everyone uses to replace illiterate vocabulary. FUCK, cannot articulate emotions like happy, sad, mad, glad, passion, disgust, dismiss, dissent, some even still employ as verb meaning to practice reproduction, sometimes with a prefix that implys incestuously, Oedipus was on to this rendition... etc. etc.............This is my acrynum representing efferts to:
FUCK, verb, subject, adjective....affect/mood, indignation admiration stimulation/titillation..one word that describes all human and animal emotions: Fuck the fucking fuckers, they can go fuck themselves..for all i fucking care...the fucking bastards are full of fucking shit!! What the fuck do you fucking think? fuck-wad/tard..and a fucking warty fucking toad face...Ugly mother-fuck'in............this could go on forever, the 'fucking rant'....Federally-Unchecked-Control-Kills
