"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." –Julius CaesarOxy-Moron
Today, many people see the violence and torture done for their palates as absolutely acceptable: Human and Animal exploitation is the norm, despite the contradictions inherent in it. Given how overwhelmingly strong the societal currents run against treating Humans/Animals as anything more than commodities and property, the kind of change we need will require more than violence, more than property destruction, and certainly more than a re-creation of the exploitative dynamics that got us here to begin with. If we are to ever win or advance, we must do so by changing the social relations that are at the heart of the problems we face. If we re-create those damaging social relations by relying on the dominance and oppression of violence, we are essentially doing nothing but deepening the problems that exist, and more often than not, claiming to be the fighters of "life" .
In short, we can’t force people to make decisions about morality while they’re staring down the barrel of a gun (or on the receiving end of a bomb). We have to do the hard and often inglorious work of creating a broad-based social movement that will call into question the Humanitarian/Speciesist dynamics that underlie our social and cultural norms or traditions. Bombs or guns or violence or completely shameless attention whoring cannot achieve this, ever. To attempt to control behavior through force, whether it be singular or societal, has never worked and never will. Ronald Goodman, Founder-Chief Executive, Eyes Wide Open International

WORLDWIDE ALERT!! =The Risks of Genetically Modified Foods=
We all know how utterly corrupt the FDA is, but sometimes the full significance of this fact doesn't resonate.
This video is a major wake up call.
Short version:
The FDA gave Monsanto and it friends a free pass on genetically modified organisms.
They've helped suppress the science that shows food produced this way is dangerous.
Here are the foods that are genetically modified: milk, corn, soybeans, canola oil and cottonseed oil.

Firestorm Brewing Between U.S. States and Federal Government
Could this be an ominous shadow drawing on the end of the United States of America? For years the Federal Government has presumed to be the all-powerful force governing our country, but it just could be that the Federal Government only exists at the pleasure of the state governments and the citizens thereof. States declaring sovereignty sounds like an act of secession and revolution. However the federal government can apparently be… Continue

Change (in rhetoric) we can believe in. (by William Blum)
February 3rd, 2009
by William Blum
www.killinghope.org
I've said all along that whatever good changes might occur in regard to non-foreign policy issues, such as what's already taken place concerning the environment and abortion, the Obama administration will not produce any significantly worthwhile change in US foreign policy; little done in this area will reduce the level of misery that the American Empire regularly brings down upon humanity. And to the extent that Bar… Continue

The daily bleeding of thousands of jobs will soon turn our economic crisis into a political crisis. The street protests, strikes and riots that have rattled France, Turkey, Greece, Ukraine, Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Iceland will descend on us. It is only a matter of time. And not much time. When things start to go sour, when Barack Obama is exposed as… Continue

WARNING: Broken Compact Fluorescent Lights Release Mercury Into the Air: Over 100 Times the EPA Limit
9 October 2008
New research by the Health Protection Agency has shown that some energy saving compact fluorescent lights can emit ultraviolet radiation at levels that, under certain conditions of use, can result in exposures higher than guideline levels. The Agency and Government Departments are calling on the European Union, relevant product standards bodies and the lighting industry to consider how product standards for lights can be tightened up.

The Torture Ban that Doesn't Ban Torture =MUST READ=
Obama's Rules Keep It Intact, and Could Even Accord With an Increase in US-Sponsored Torture Worldwide
By Allan Nairn
If you're lying on the slab still breathing, with your torturer hanging over you, you don't much care if he is an American or a mere United States - sponsored trainee.
When President Obama declared flatly this week that "the United States will not torture" many people wrongly believed that he'd shut the practice down, when in fact he'd… Continue

Forget Red vs. Blue -- It's the Educated vs. People Easily Fooled by Propaganda =Living in La-La-Land=
By Chris Hedges, Truthdig. Posted November 12, 2008.
Millions of Americans live in a non-reality-based belief system informed by childish clichés - they can barely differentiate between lies and truth.
We live in two Americas. One America, now the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world. It can cope with complexity and has the intellectual tools to separate illusion from truth. The other America, wh… Continue

Is it Possible All Mortgage Contracts Are Void and Foreclosures are Invalid? =MUST READ=
The following article should probably be considered for educational or entertainment purposes only. It is rare to find such a knowledgeable judge working for government that puts the interest of the individual over the financial interests of the banks and their system of credit and money creation. Homeowners facing foreclosure should absolutely be aware of this case and the arguments, but taking any of this as actual… Continue

Bertrand Russell
“Education comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought.”
Napoleon Hill
“An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't.”
