A Special Opportunity for Teachers: I’m writing to announce a special opportunity for K-12 teachers from the Favorite Poem Project. If you’re not a teacher, but would like to help us spread the word, please forward this email to an educator you know.

Former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, in cooperation with the Boston University School of Education, is accepting applications from teachers and teacher/administrator teams across grade level for a remarkable week of poetry in Boston, July 16-20. Participants will read and discuss poems with renowned practitioners of the art, five award-winning American poets. Past faculty include Frank Bidart, Mark Doty, Carl Phillips, Louise Glück and Heather McHugh. Teachers will work in groups to develop lesson plans to share with each other and bring back to their classrooms.

Visit the Favorite Poem Project website (link below) to learn more, or to request an application.

Best wishes,

Maggie Dietz Director, Favorite Poem Project

House passes CISPA: The House passed CISPA yesterday, and we want to make a splash as the focus shifts to the Senate.

More than 70,000 of you have emailed the Senate since yesterday, admonishing them to reject CISPA and protect our privacy and civil liberties.

If you haven’t yet, please click here to email your Senators right away.

We pushed them to the brink, but House Republicans rammed through CISPA yesterday afternoon, ahead of schedule.

Let’s make sure it dies in the Senate: Please click here to email your Senators right away.

Our hundreds of thousands of emails and tens of thousands of phone calls have had a real impact:

Amendments were adopted that made CISPA (marginally) better. Earlier this month CISPA was supposed to sail through, but we helped foment real opposition, and the vote was far closer than anybody could have imagined even a couple of weeks ago. Most Democrats held firm in opposition, and more than two dozen libertarian-leaning Republicans defied their leadership and vote no. Most importantly, President Obama has threatened to veto CISPA. The Senate will consider cyber security legislation in the coming weeks.  Let’s turn up the heat right away:

Click here to tell the Senate to reject CISPA and any and all legislation that doesn’t respect privacy and civil liberties.

Message of Hope and Continuity for the Sisterhood of the Guild: Hello and Happy Spring to you!

I am grateful for the communication I have received from so many of you. Your candid remarks and thoughtful responses to questions we asked have proved to be very illuminating to me. The IWWG Board and I have listened to you, and because you wanted the Guild’s activities–The Spring Big Apple and the Summer Conference–to continue, the Board voted unanimously to move forward with the planning and preparation of both activities. And now, here we are with only a few days away from this season’s BIG APPLE CONFERENCE, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, April 14-15. We have also begun planning and organizing the Summer Conference at Yale (Friday-Tuesday, June 22-26)!!

I am delighted to announce that Marj Hahne, longtime Guild member and teacher, poet, and friend to so many of you, will bring her expertise and incredible integrity and focus to the Summer Conference planning. Marj has accepted my invitation to work as our Summer Conference Coordinator. We are working now to determine the new structure of our four-day conference. We ask that you save those dates (June 22-26) and watch for updates which will be coming shortly! We promise to send the details of costs, specific programs, and workshop directors very soon. Thanks for your patience.

We all share the vision to create and nurture an enlivening, enduring community of women writers. The MAGIC of the International Women’s Writing Guild continues, thanks to all you incredible women.

We invite you to join us in continuing the magic at this weekend’s Spring Big Apple, an incredible two days of three amazing speakers, a Meet and Pitch to the Agents, and an IWWG Members’ Book Fair!   Warmly, Cynthia

Cynthia Fritts Stillwell, Executive Director

To the poet, the human community is like the community of birds to a bird, singing to each other. Love is one of the reasons we are singing to one another, love of language itself, love of sound, love of singing itself, and love of the other birds.

My latest twig of poetree:

King George and his Dick Cheney’s High Treason

Along with the elite of the remocrat conspiracy, the Purposeful non-prevention of the attacks on 9-11-2001, While being our “burning of the Reichstag”, was also The increasing of the blitzkrieging speed of the Corporate structure’s convolutions warring on the Middle-class to poor, life, art; their dictation of the Devolutionary direction of society being embraced by More and Moor as time goes by, the spearhead in  Engineering of their final solution, the extermination To extinction of humanity and large mammals- atop The burning cross they circle jerk around, as those Klueless Klucking sucKlings, premeditatedly murder The evolution, real: left, religion, science, 8 billion. Only in their opinion, for the evolution, not being Faux, is forever; as you, being life, are indivisible, And illimitable in the realization of your potential. Since their reign on the ‘American way of life’ ended, With voters defeating them in the ‘08 elections, their Blitzkrieg has brought continual assassinations, hot Fronts against women, elderly, youths, non-remocrat White heterosexual boys to men, civil liberties, peace, Union, the vote, kids, global one for disease with cuts In foreign aid, supposed Christian conditions on them, Attack on contraception, defense for disease, abortion, Etc.; also, after the pre to, and ‘10 elections dem/ Rem conspiracy, the S.S. tea party tugboat dragged The U.S. ship of State into the rocks- only possible Since Glass-Steagle was removed in ‘91, in order to Dictate the gutting of the economy in ‘09, and 100 Million people being defacto-murdered, not born, etc.. By the dino’s putting the con back in the convolution.

Yes, dems, political puppets, the rem gov’t working Their mouths, responsibility can’t be underestimated, Nor, their role as the necessary lock, fix in the corps. Con of people; for, rems weren’t satisfied with the Oligarchic plutocracy, where the chasm between the Haves, have nots grows steadily. Replicating criminally Insane sociologically programmed dualistic delusional Constructs based on anthropological archetypes like: Monarch/pheasant; rich/poor; winner/loser; user/used; Predator/prey; abuser/abused; elite/plebeian; master/ Slave; academic/experience; user/used; machination/ Natural ideation; professional/rube; la machine/human Being; scarcity/abundance; materialism/spirituality; Believer/lifelong student; artifice/reality; patriarchal, Imperial, hierarchic, gradated power/growth, potential, Experience, creation, real power; the convolutions Devolutionary direction/the evolution; needed quicken- Ing for expanded nazification of people.  Those, used Through societal engineering, like genocide of white Heterosexual boys to men by supremacies within all Conspiracies, stereotyping, profiling, discrimination, Destruction, sorting out, mass-imprisoning, adopting A defacto-caste system, for e.g., unnatural disaster Refugees as united suck of assassins’ untouchables, Also hoisting the organized crime and punishment Industrial complex’ inside prison system onto society, As well, republican conspiracy of all demographics Conspiracies and all supremacies with the white Supremacy, to automate good replicas of la machine, Denaturing, vampirizing, cannibalizing human of its Illimitable potential in being life indivisible.

They, now, since Glass-Steagle’s removal by rem/dem Conspiracy and bubble, balloon until burst, disaster Economics has worked so well in decreasing trickle- Down economy (what’s left after the vacuum-up to The rich), decentralization of profits, have done it Again, in the recently pasted, tripartisan (unusually, for Rems and S.S. tea partiers, as the dino-in-chief needed It for his upcoming re-election), supposed, Jobs Act, Where they removed needed remedies in the Sarbannes Act that was pasted after enrongate, so, another, future, Derivativegate, like the one in ’08, can be used by Wall St., greed supremacists to gut the global economy again In a decade or so; establishing future further increasing Of the speed of their global blitzkrieg against all life, Also, a re-kick-starting of the economic war of attrition Against the middle-class to poor, by the middle-class to Rich.  The criminally insane panoply, of destruction to Extinction as profit, pleasure, power, personified Autocratically, and its extreme behaviorally exemplified In high treason, have been codified as acceptable rem Practice, by dems through the extremism of centrism, Fascist vichy french necessary in hitler’s rise.  The Bush clan, who have been in business with the bin Ladens for over 3 decades, can be borne again, as Barack has done more for rems than anyone since Reagan.  Regardless of the holding hands with Middle East royalty smirking monkey supposed Christian Al-queda‘s, who purposely ordered osama be allowed To escape at Tora Bora, for, in the M.E. blood is thicker Than $ and he could no more kill a bin laden than he Could his own kid, high treason, the show must go on.

The smoke and mirrors must not be dispelled, the Sleepers must not be awakened from their American Dreaming, for the dictated to be 2 nd place supremacy, The African-American, by Barack throwing away a Decade of dem future power by not choosing Hillary, Are dictating it; for, they now get to be the masters More, and the last thing they want to do, being good Supposed Christian taliban, is dismantle the man’s House by not using the man’s tools, as Audre Lourdes Relates; you see, it’s good to be black, female, academic, Celebrity supremacists, all rolled into one, while you Make believe you’re progressive, feminist, down to Earth, like M.H.P., who has shown her true colors, Repeatedly, on the Maddow show.  For e.g., after the NAACP leadership conspired with the S.S. tea party For a couple days, agreeing with them, in order to Engineer a weapon of mass distraction, keeping Environmental movement news and legislation from Airing on the multi-media conspiracy for the dems and Dino-in-chief, through the Sherrod charade, MHP stated That con perpetrated on the people should, “finally put To rest the myth of reverse discrimination”, which was An historically used faux attack, based on racism by the White supremacy and rems, to justify their genocide to Slow down the progress of the civil rights movement, Yet, she made no historical reference, so, her assertion Suggests that not only has there never been an instance Of racism by an African-American against a Caucasian, Which is impossible, but, even further, if one were to Suggest there was an instance, they could readily be Labeled a racist of that historical reprehensible process.

So, the tens of millions of citizens who have suffered, And/or been murdered by an African-American racist Attack are all white racist recalcitrants; making her not Equal to holocaust deniers, yet, in the same ball park- A black supremacist position.  Breit Bart, the S.S. Tea party, and black supremacists NAACP, MHP, “Ebony, ivory, working together in perfect harmony“, Birds of different feathers flocking together to cluck all The way to the bank.  Another time on Rachel‘s show, MHP stated, “…that should put to rest the notion that Women are gold diggers”, which is impossible, because Every person on the planet, including her, knows that There are women who are gold diggers; a female Supremacist argument- if it were to be criticized, the Retort would be the critic was patriarchal, misogynistic, Chauvinist, etc..  If you’re truthful, real, not buying into The divide and conquer, dualistic, supposed dichotomy Of either you’re a white supremacist or a Black one, Similar to the prisoners actuality, being either a racist Gang member or cannibalized by them, you‘re murdered By both.  Also, recently, she’s continued her support for The privatization of the public school system, putting Economic holes in every public school boat, so all Public school boats eventually sink, through siphoning The lion’s share of the money to voucher and charter Schools, by the supposed Christian conspiracy and Corps., all in the name of progressive, choice of school, And education that meets the needs of  Black kids.  Pre Plessey vs Ferguson supremacy court decision, school System of 70 years ago, being borne again, where a Separate and unequal education system was dictated.

Supposed Christian conspiratorial white and black Supremacists, republicans, immoral minority, with the Partially civil wrongs movement African-Americans, all Aboard the S.S. tea party tugboat dragging the dead in The water USA ship of State into the rocks, together, Engineering the vouchers for whites, charter schools For blacks ‘privatization’ and religious domination of The education system to destroy the public school System, teachers union, etc..  Determining the future Engineering of society wide defacto-slavery through Most tax dollars going to supposed Christian schools, And public ones getting naught, determining a populace Of have education and have not, citizens, determining An ever-increasing chasm between the haves and the Have-nots, etc., not to forget the fraud of “merit pay” For those teachers deemed worthy.  Instead of investing In all public schools and teachers, making all boats rise- And, actually, better education for all kids.  That being The prevalent academic supremacist position, that Black Kids are unduly suffering due to an inability of teachers, Administrators, school environments to meet specific Needs; which is only a half truth; dems are fond of, While rems pathologically lie- for, yes, the needs aren’t Being met, partially due to vestiges of racism against Them, their parents not doing, or being as able to do, Due to economic repression vestiges, as good a job of Rearing their kids, lack of re-investment in inner-city Communal infrastructure, etc..  Yet, the other half of the Truth they don‘t say, usually the more salient half, is that Almost all kids suffer under the same constraints, and Their political power as an African-American conspiracy

Is getting them the charter schools through their Conspiring with the rems to destroy unions, gov‘t run Universal programs, etc.; so, their special kids will have It like that, and the rest of the majority of kids will have It worse, etc..  This while she does great work, as well.  Yet, we can’t have several hundred school systems to Meet the needs of the have it like that’s in the several Hundred demographics of this country; which is not Relevant to white and black supremacists, alike.  So, Also, the dino-in-chief is a few supremacists all rolled Into one, and makes sausage with the rems better than Any other butcher at present, but, we can‘t allow the Supposed Christian al-queda, king george, romney and The rems, desire to re-engineer this country into a Supposed Christian replica of a Middle East monarchy And theocracy to happen, even though the supposed Christian taliban, the dinos, are wit’ it by nite, being Social conservatives, even though they’re against it by Day, also being liberal dems.  Another example of “Ebony and ivory working together in perfect Harmony“, besides Barack caddying Mr. Boehner, is Reagan Nagin’s and Gov’na’ Blanco’s premeditatedly Genociding African-Americans, poor, women, long- Term hospitalized, kids, nursing home residents, elderly, Handicapped, disabled, mentally ill, homeless, prisoners, Et al, doing away with unions, public schools, public Housing, animals, etc., by purposely not preventing the Flooding of “the bowl“, the ninth ward, etc., through Purposely not reinforcing the levees for decades, even Though they were continually told to and given federal $ to, dictating, “the river to take what’s the river’s”; he

Should have graffiti on his tombstone, “300 buses and No drivers”, if there’s an African-American in the land. You see the a’ightie a’ight and the a’ights singing in Perfect harmony with whitie white and the whites Makes terrible music for this nation, sowing the seeds Of exceptionalist, united, supremacist cacophony to Whoever will listen.  That extremism in the guise of Centrism may fool some of the people all of the time, All of the people some of the time, but, it can’t fool all Of the people all of the time- why be their fool.  This While we’re not exceptions, this nation’s been run Aground as the majority has let it, as nations have been Globally, as has humanity, life, the earth, we must Struggle for reality, and speak truth, every moment, Everyday; i.e., romney’s Mormon cult would prosper if He were elected, as would all aspects of its war against Girls to women, young men, also, dinos/rems, black and White supremacists, are privatizing, to destroy S.S., Because the majority of recipients are elderly white Women, since it hasn’t worked they’ve altered tactics, Attacking S.S. by giving 3 years of payroll tax cuts, Making the 30 year from now insolvency of S.S. 3 years Sooner; we can’t allow these things to happen- we’re Supposed to have 0 supremacies, not 21, we must Struggle to stop their broad attacks on voting, and get Out the vote, now.  Remember, the intellect can’t lead, For, the life doesn’t follow; and, even though necessity is The mother of invention, its father is the evolution.  They Have engineered necessary conditions for nazification of Humanity, yet, all of humanity can rise, as evolutionaries Only do, and place their scarcity based nazification in Our past, while we embrace the abundance that is reality.

Two speakers for Leonard Peltier will participate in the Open Forum beginning at 1:15 on Friday, April 27.

Occupy DOJ: In support of Occupy DOJ in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, April 24, please place a call to Attorney General Eric Holder’s comment line at 202-353-1555.  Speak in support of all political prisoners and speak out against mass incarceration.

Ask that Mr. Holder conduct an Executive Review of cases involving political prisoners and claims of wrongful conviction, one that addresses:

–law enforcement’s use of improper techniques or coercive tactics, as well as fabricated evidence;

–laboratory personnel’s use of poor scientific techniques, mishandling of evidence, provision of skewed or completely false testimony to support prosecution claims, or providing fabricated evidence; and

–prosecutorial misconduct such as courtroom misconduct; mishandling of physical evidence (hiding, destroying, and/or tampering with evidence, case files or court records); failing to disclose exculpatory evidence; threatening, badgering, and/or tampering with witnesses; and using false or misleading evidence.

As regards the case of Leonard Peltier, this review must also include examination of post-conviction actions on the part of federal officials, former and active FBI agents, and prosecutors, to prevent fair consideration of Peltier’s applications for parole and Executive Clemency.

Thank you for all you do on behalf of all political prisoners–in particular, Leonard Peltier.

 

Make That Call: Reminder: Please call the White House tomorrow, April 20, in favor of freedom for Leonard Peltier.  The number for the White House comment line is 202-456-1111.  If the lines are busy, try the White House switchboard at 202-456-1414. Ask for the comment line. You may be placed on hold until the next available staffer can take your call.

 

In Need of Your Support: Brothers, Sisters, Friends and Supporters,

I’m still here fighting for my freedom.  The government is fighting just as hard to keep me where I am.  The government also has unlimited resources, even in such tough economic times. Big problem, right?

The solution rests with my legal team for the most part.  They’re making headway in a couple of very important directions.  I’m very optimistic about the work they’re doing, too. I believe that 2012 is a critical time for me and that, with your help, I’ll see home again. You can get behind our efforts, right?

Please donate what you can to help us continue the fight.  No amount is too small.  Mail donations to the LPDOC, PO Box 7488, Fargo,  ND  58106.

Thank you for all you’ve done in the fight for human rights. In particular, thank you for your friendship.

Doksha,

Leonard Peltier

Note from the LPDOC: You may also donate securely online at http://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/donate.htm  .

 

Call to Action: Shower the WH with Your Calls: An excellent way for Peltier supporters to communicate with the White House is by telephone, i.e., the White House comment line at 202-456-1111.

On Friday, April 13 and April 20, please take time to call the White House to ask that President Obama free Leonard Peltier.  If the lines are busy, try the White House switchboard at 202-456-1414. Ask for the comment line. You may be placed on hold until the next available staffer can take your call.

Remember that some 2,500 to 3,500 phone calls are received daily via the White House comment line. Peltier supporters often receive a busy signal simply because we’re competing for phone time. Hit that redial button and try again. If you don’t reach an operator in the morning, try again in the afternoon.

Each of us must place a call.  Urge your colleagues, friends, and family members to call the White House, too.  On April 13 and April 20, make your voices heard.

Supporters from around the world may participate in this effort by sending an e-mail to the White House:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/submit-questions-and-comments  .

Thank you for all you do on Mr. Peltier’s behalf.

Sample letter text:

There is no clean coal, oil, or nuclear waste, we must struggle with la machine, not unbecome by replicating it; evolve or die- viva la evolution.  The more you give art, the more it is, including the art of living; remember, Carlos Castaneda said, “Discipline is the art of feeling awe”- viva la evolution.  No nuclear is good nuclear, splitting Adam and splitting atom are hubris that dictate extinction, technocracies of the world are realizing that they are wrong, unnatural technological advance is no panacea, nature’s balances and Gaia’s way is the only way humanity will be alive in the future; we must protect those shining examples of how to live, the uncontaminated tribes of your country, from the ravages of supposed ‘progress’, now.  As minds of somas are realizing the intellect cannot lead, for, the life does not follow.  Happy Rhodes sings, “there is a beacon in the sky meant to catch your eye…”, we are the sun and earth, et al, in enumerable variations, fueled by solar energy, etc.; how can some still pretend to not know solar, and renewable energies, are the way- viva la evolution, viva green party.  If we switch quick enough to totally renewables, like solar, which we are in combination with the earth, we may stop the extinction of humanity and large mammals we see on our horizon; racing towards us at ever-increasing speed from humanities’ future.  Cult of personalityism=popularityism=vampirism=centrism=materialism=machiavellianism=cannibalism=extremism= supremacy=fascism=extermination=nazism=extinction.  Thanx.  Goodbye.

Matutinally Yours,

Sample letter text:

They say women have no rights to affordable healthcare, women’s healthcare, reproductive care, equal wages for equal work, etc..  They say “contraception isn’t a right”, and are now trying to insist through legislation; while they make believe they’re against abortion and disease, we can stop their devolutionary directions’ destruction by dispelling the republican conspiracies pathological lying, and even the dinos pathological half-truthing, with truth telling- let’s.   Currently, yes Trayvon was racially profiled, killed, yet, let’s get all the facts.  All smearing in this multi-media conspiracy weapon of mass-distraction tragedy is wrong; until there’s a factual and complete timeline presented, all we know is 2 ‘have it like that’ individuals collided and the one with the gun and the dad whose a judge won, tragically, so far- indicating the “stand your ground law” isn’t appropriate for united suck of assassins citizens, at this time, while self defense is necessary, the law must be changed, “feeling your life might be threatened” is too low a threshold for a deadly force response.  Oh, yeah, no “million hoodie march”, besides the fact that hoods, short for hoodlums, do wear hoods, and this is a necessary warning sign for everyone to note, in their constant self-defense, spending 200 million dollars on a show of how much the supposed left is a media whore, and marketeers on tragedies and the left, isn’t allowable 6 months before a presidential elections cycle.  The attacks on Trayvon’s reputation in the media are disgraceful, and disrespectful to his memory and his mourning family, as well.  These attacks reflect the same kind of racial profiling and stereotyping that led to his death and then protected his killer from investigation and arrest, yet, how many others, non-African-Americans, for example, were murdered or killed, that same day, and they‘ve no relevance to the supposed civil rights movement.  Trayvon’s killer, George Zimmerman, still hasn’t been arrested. The focus of the media and our public officials should be on getting justice for Trayvon and addressing the dangers of racial profiling in our society.  As well, just because Zimmerman was wrong, that doesn’t make Trayvon right, why was he in a gated community he wasn’t visiting, etc..  All supremacies from all conspiracies within all demographics, who all collaborate with the white supremacy, must stop dictating their demographics embrace the devolutionary direction of the corporate structure’s convolution; and support allowing kids to be kids, and young women to become women, at minimum, before they’re introduced to any and all forms of corporate whoring.  The war on the middle-class to poor targets men, and more acutely, non-remocrat boys to men who are Caucasian, first, destroying infants testicles; second, using the republican’s psychic terrorism, the ‘suck’, to assassinate infants in the crib, feeding on their souls; third, raping them repeatedly to destroy their defenses and anus, fourth, over-stimulating them in every way so they might think there’s something wrong with them while all conspirators attack them in every way, including anatomical destruction to prevent them from getting sports contracts, etc., fifth, separating their astral bodies, souls, from their bodies during dreaming, with ‘falling off the cliff’ scenarios where one’s astral body leaves the body before it hit’s the ground, and is then led to understand the immense freedom an astral body can have, instilling in the astral body a dread of returning to the body, and its life, that is destroyed and weakened by all conspirators continually attacking the boys; sixth, can consist of enumerable scenarios where through voodoo, yoodoo, satanism, supposed Yoruba, Santiera, Sikh, Shinto, Witchcraft, Kali, Druidism, etc., the astral body is stolen from them, and led to the demonic forces of the republican conspiracies’ psychic terrorism, the suck, destroying as it is ordered to.  This is why I disagree with Islamic countries, in their general, deeming of the united suck of assassins the “great satan“, for, the ancient Hebraic, then Judeo-Christian, and presently, the Roman Catholic imperial lies purporting the existing of a devil, etc., while swallowed whole by those weak minded enough to be brainwashed into being believers, abominations, instead of students of the real: Jesus’ teachings, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, art science, agnostics, atheists, Buddhism, art, science, Wicca, Native American Spirituality, existentialists, Shinto, psychology, Sikh, etc., knowers, are just that, lies; yet, the republican’s psychic terrorism, the suck, is the closest thing to a devil that has ever existed on earth- so, the ”great” part, must, at least, be removed, for power garnered from pedocide programs that mass sexually attack non-remocrat Caucasian boys, their target group, by the Roman Catholic Empire, Hindu cults, etc., could hardly be called great, as they all are cowards.  As well, all who support the pedocide programs of the military, etc., are cowards and aiders and abetters of pedos; therefore, pedos themselves- who could possibly pay even a dollar of taxes that goes directly into the pockets of the pedos the gov’t orders to sexually attack their own kids?  Also, why doesn’t the U.N. get all the money it needs, so it can fully support the I.C.C., etc., the U.S. taxpayers have so much money robbed from their gov’t, they don’t fund the U.N. more, as they could and should.  Every time you pay a dollar in tax: subsidies to sports stadiums, etc., you’re paying a sports industry that anatomically destroys your boys to stop them from competing to get sports contracts, all of whose participants profit off the genocide of non-remocrat Caucasian boys to men; for the remocrat dominated military, police, intelligence, etc., industrial complexes, you’re supporting the ever increasing theft of your tax dollars by them, for, they only wish to replicate themselves, grow, steal more as hey get more powerful, making their desired unnecessary “unending” global blitzkrieg war a future realism; of the $ 500. you pay to every Israeli citizen yearly, you’re enabling their destruction of Palestine, and foreign aggression, cementing their supposed policy of peace and their real policy of it’s never going to happen; to the defense dept., a large % of it goes to usa military bases abroad, and the dino-in-chief is increasing the number, in Australia, etc., directing paying for the military protection of the world by you, not the citizens of those countries, so, they don’t have to, they use those tax dollars they don’t have to spend on military to have an exponentially better way of life than usa citizens do, etc., just so the republicans can get their cut of that scam money; a % of it goes to the medical industrial complex of technocratic innovation as their panacea, medical model Dr. Mengeles, who uber-charge for unnecessary almost everything, and premeditatedly mass destroy and murder their patients as they’re ordered to, for e.g., when you get a fancy test, the results are communicated to the psychic terrorism, informing them on how to murder you more effectively, etc.; a % goes to the engineered over the last decade, pre “Plessey vs. Ferguson” supremacy court decision, education system of 70 years ago, being born again, where a “separate and unequal” education system was allowed, by the ”ebony and ivory, working together in perfect harmony…”, supposed Christian conspiratorial white, black, etc., supremacists, republicans, immoral minority, and kluckers, all aboard the S.S. Tea Party tugboat dragging the dead in the water usa Ship of State into the rocks, with the mostly civil wrongs movement blacks, together engineering the vouchers for whites, charter schools for blacks ‘privatization’ and religious domination of the education system to destroy the public school system, the teachers, etc., unions, and dictate the engineering of society wide defacto-slavery through most tax dollars going to supposed Christian schools, and public ones getting naught, determining a populace of have education and have not…, citizens, determining an ever-increasing chasm between the haves and the have-nots, etc., not to forget the fraud of “merit pay” for those teachers deemed worthy, supremacist birds of different feathers flocking together, klucking all the way to the bank.  Not to forget the somewhat pre-Renaissance higher education system, where tenured professors rule academia, which manufactures well packaged replicant machine parts for the corporate structure’s convolutions, la machine’s, replication, actual education is almost nowhere to be found, the primacy of the delusional construct of materialism abounds; which is key to the devolutionary direction of addictions, vampirism, gambling, etc., increasing, as well.   Remocrat politicians can now get away with flip flopping on even the existence of climate change, need for contraception to prevent disease and abortion, etc., due to caving dinos, and therefore, the evolution isn‘t even mentioned-any of those thieves of your taxes can alone dictate the extinction of humanity and large mammals, and together, they most certainly will.  As well, female supremacists can’t collaborate with black, white, etc., supremacists in gradually taking away women’s reproductive healthcare and rights, as well as choice; the price they’ll pay when they do will be much greater than the crumbs they get off the republicans plate.  Happy Rhodes sings, “words weren’t meant for cowards, be brave…“; write on.  They say, the brave are those who stand when standing is hard; I say it’s when you only stand, “all endowed with inalienable rights…” (regardless of the fact that the dino-in-chief has taken away any and all rights from everyone except himself with the NDAA law, for all intents and purposes), yet, we only have the ones we exercise; remember the constitution republicans- that includes women.  As well, I’ve said the united suck of assassins is a country of extremists, supremacists of every conspiracy within every demographic, conspiring with the republican conspiracy (which is why the remocrats keep winning even though they’re only 20 % of the population, the dempublicans keep building them up), including academic, supposed Christian (the ‘good cop’, some of the civil wrongs movement, ‘bad cop’, all republicans, S.S Tea Partiers, our taliban and al-queda), supposed Sikh, LGBTQ, etc.; Machiavellians and uber-ones, at minimum fascists to nazis, one and all- it’s not even a possibility that the evolution’s direction can stand against the corporate structure’s convolution’s devolutionary one, at this rate.  The republicans final solution, to steal everything from everyone through the extermination to extinction of humanity and large mammals, technocracies of the world have permanently altered weather cycles causing the increase in the amount and severity of supposedly natural disasters, yet, we know all life are necessary threads in the fabric of life, we can’t allow to be torn asunder. Extermination of humanity, large mammals, determined by the republican conspiracy, globally, millions of birds falling from the sky, fish dead in the water, etc., must be heeded now; before they sukceed in dictating the extinction of humanity and large mammals- as well as the destruction of the earth, and, possibly, all life as you know it. Life is indivisible, struggling with global unnecessary unending war is necessary; although, the intellect can‘t lead, for the life doesn‘t follow. Remember a lesson from WWII, if you’re not taking bullets, you’re making them, and fascism is the last step before the complete backslide to Nazism, possession is only nine-tenths of the law in a poverty stricken mind, centrism among extremists is Nazism, don’t be it or allow it; Ghandi said “…be the change you wish to see in the world“, and Castaneda said, “discipline is the art of feeling awe”, etc.. Turn 360 degrees around, back to the evolution, dispelling the convolutions devolutionary direction; and getting back to the real future, we’ll only have if you do! By abolishing the over use of fossil fuels (vaporizing the spirit and sucking the very blood of the earth, like the remocrat conspiracy does through their psychic terrorism, the suck, assassinating their only real competition, the real left, the evolution), and the devolutionary direction dictating the permanently altered weather cycles, 100 year storms happening every ten, 10,000 year cataclysmic events happening every thousand, 100,000 year destroying all life events, like alteration of magnetic poles location, their reversal, degradation of the earth’s orbit around the sun, happening every ten thousand, etc., and being most alive! Stop the gov’t historical use of the HAARP and other weather machines for political purposes, drilling Cuba with hurricanes, for example, Obama’s Admin. using them to decrease the amount of natural disasters, etc., to mitigate the influence of environmentalism, the evolution and the real left, to alter legislation, win elections; has further permanently altered the natural weather cycles and made global warming exponentially worse in a few years- denaturing the earth is the extinction of humanity and large mammals in a process.  Don’t be republicated into mirror supremacist images of the white supremacy, being woman, black, supposed christian, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Jewish, Asian, Atheist, male, heterosexual, LGBTQ, age, etc., supremacists isn’t equality, there’s no equality of nazism; destruction to extinction aren’t profit, pleasure, nor power- Audre Lourdes said, “you can’t take apart the man’s house with the man’s tools.”.  The premeditated mass-murder of 8 billion people isn’t allowable, opinion, freedom of religion, choice, civil liberty, a right, equality, American dreaming or way of life, nor cool. The dreamers must awaken, unlike the Dino-In-Chief’s response to the tea partiers, which is tripartisanship, centrism, caving, the real left’s is fku+theshtthatshatu, as it should be; thank goodness! Don’t alter your humanity with, hormone treatments, steroids, human growth hormone, blood transfusions and swapping, like 70 % of athletes, destroying the realization of your potential while making you physiologically like a machine, etc..  They can’t sociologically program somas of illimitable potential, that are indivisible, as life is, in order to republicate automatons for la machine, if you, don‘t agree, resist, refuse, be more so.  Cult of personalityism=popularityism=vampirism=centrism=materialism=machiavellianism=cannibalism=extremism=supremacy=fascism=extermination=nazism=extinction.  Thanx.  Goodbye.

Malcolm X. From Darkness to Light     Born in poverty and obscurity on May 19, 1925, in Omaha, Nebraska, Malcolm Little, the fourth child of Earl and Louise Little, rose to become one of the most dynamic Black Nationalist leaders of his time. He felt the sting of racism and was denied opportunity from his earliest years, from most, if not all, of the existing institutions of the day. Without the possibility, the hope, of upward mobility, with less than a ninth grade education, a life of crime was practically inevitable for young Malcolm.  Read more

Reflections on Black History

Black History Month should be of interest to every Muslim, especially in America. It is estimated that upwards to 20 percent of the Africans enslaved in the Americas were Muslim. In some areas, such as the coast of the Carolinas, Georgia, and parts of Virginia, the percentages of Muslims in the slave population may have approached 40 percent. The fact that the search of a random African American, Alex Haley, for his roots led him to a Muslim village in West Africa is indicative of the widespread Muslim presence among the enslaved population here in the Americas.

How to end Racism

How can it end? Only understanding and education can end racism. People must realise that God created all humans from one couple. The entire human race is therefore one large extended family.

Personal Story:

My abandonment of Roman Catholicism was spawned by a premature death, my mother’s at age 49, on the day before my 22nd birthday. I prayed like crazy for God to spare her, and when He did not, I established a new line of communication. I called God Allah and prayed with my palms cupped (to catch blessings) and my eyes wide open (to keep Allah’s creation in sight). Read more

News Item:   World-class fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad hopes to compete in the 2012 London Olympics. If she qualifies, it is believed that she will be the first practicing Muslim to represent the U.S. in women’s fencing, and the first American to wear Islamic head-covering while competing. She speaks with host Michel Martin.  Read More

I invite you to join me at the Occupy AIPAC Summit in Washington this weekend.

I spent seven years in the Middle East.  I lived for two of those seven years in Jerusalem.  I was the Middle East Bureau Chief for the New York Times.  AIPAC does not speak for Jews or for Israel.  It speaks for right-wing ideologues who believe that because they have capacity to wage war, they have a right to wage war.

And just as these elites were too blind and too enamored of their own rhetoric to see what invading Iraq would trigger, so too are they unable to comprehend the regional conflagration that would be unleashed by attacking Iran.

The uprisings from Tunisia to Egypt to Greece to Occupy Wall Street to our gathering outside AIPAC’s doors in Washington are all the same primal struggle for justice.

The battle for justice in Middle East is our battle.  It is part of the vast, global battle against the 1 percent.  It is a battle against the fossil fuel industry, the weapons manufacturers, the security and surveillance state, the misuse of public funds that wastes $ 4 trillion on wars that never had to be fought, the trillions more in looted taxpayer money to prop up insolvent banks and swell bloated military budgets, the battle to protect working men and women who are left struggling in the name of “austerity” to save their homes and find work.

Join us at Occupy AIPAC this weekend. Help us make the voices of the 99 percent—the voices of mothers, fathers and children in the squalid refugee camps in Gaza, in the suburbs of Tehran and in the bleak industrial wastelands in Ohio—heard.

Yours,   Chris Hedges

World Without War: Small Change for Peace; Supporting Diplomacy with Iran

“By investing in civilian diplomacy and development, we foster stability around the world to protect our national security and make conflicts less likely.”

Department of State budget justification, Fiscal Year 2013

Earlier this month, President Obama submitted to Congress his proposed budget for 2013. Although research shows that preventing wars is 60 times more cost effective [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODU2/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2Zjbmwub3JnL2lzc3Vlcy9wcGRjL3ByZXZlbnRpb25fNjBfMV9jb3N0X2VmZmVjdGl2ZS5wZGYjISMh  ] than fighting them, the president’s budget once again pours hundreds of billions into war [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODU5/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2Zjbmwub3JnL2lzc3Vlcy9idWRnZXQvdGhlX2xhdGVzdC8jISMh  ]  while providing relative small change for peace [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODYz/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2Zjbmwub3JnL2lzc3Vlcy9wcGRjL292ZXJzZWFzX2NvbnRpbmdlbmN5X29wZXJhdGlvbnMvaW5kZXguaHRtbCMhIyE  ] . This edition of World Without War provides our initial analysis on some key budget issues related to FCNL’s foreign policy agenda. More details and actions will follow as Congress moves into its appropriations work in the months ahead.

In addition, with new legislative initiatives on Iran underway in both the House and Senate, we bring you two immediate ways you can help prevent another costly war.

As always, we welcome your feedback [ mailto:foreignpolicy@fcnl.org  ]  on our foreign policy work, and thank you for all your support.

Bridget Moix,

Senior Legislative Secretary, Foreign Policy

Join Col. Wilkerson and FCNL in Lobbying to Prevent War with Iran

In the last few weeks, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to former Secretary of State Colin Powell, has teamed up with FCNL [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODY0/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2Zjbmwub3JnL2Jsb2cvb2ZfcGVhY2VfYW5kX3BvbGl0aWNzL2xvYmJ5aW5nX3dpdGhfY29sX3dpbGtlcnNvbi8jISMh  ] to lobby for diplomacy, and against war, with Iran.

Col. Wilkerson joined FCNL’s Kate Gould and Hilary Johnson on lobby visits to ask members of Congress to support a letter [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODY3/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5jYXB3aXouY29tL2Zjb25sL2lzc3Vlcy9hbGVydC8_YWxlcnRpZD02MTAyMjYxMSZ0eXBlPUNPIyEjIQ  ] introduced by Reps. Keith Ellison (MN) and Walter Jones (NC) calling for diplomacy with Iran and to oppose legislation in the Senate [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODY5/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2NhcHdpei5jb20vZmNvbmwvaXNzdWVzL2FsZXJ0Lz9hbGVydGlkPTYwNTI0NTAxIyEjIQ  ] that would press the United States towards war.

Rep. Garamendi (CA), Col. Wilkerson and Kate Gould

Ask your representative to sign on to the Ellison-Jones letter [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODcz/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5jYXB3aXouY29tL2Zjb25sL2lzc3Vlcy9hbGVydC8_YWxlcnRpZD02MTAyMjYxMSZ0eXBlPUNPIyEjIQ  ] before March 1st to join this clear message of support for a peaceful resolution of the conflict with Iran.

Already more than a third of the Senate has signed on to a resolution pressing the administration to abandon diplomacy and support an attack against a “nuclear weapons capable Iran”. During his visits with members of Congress and their staff, Col. Wilkerson pointed out that the resolution “reads like the same sheet of music that got us into the Iraq war, and could be the precursor for a war with Iran,” and called it “effectively, a thinly-disguised effort to bless war.”

Urge your senators to oppose this dangerous legislation. [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODc3/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2NhcHdpei5jb20vZmNvbmwvaXNzdWVzL2JpbGxzLz9kZWJ1Zz0mYmlsbD02MTAyMTA3NiZjc19wYXJ0eT1hbGwmY3Nfc3RhdHVzPUMmY3Nfc3RhdGU9QUxMIyEjIQ  ]

Obama’s Budget: What’s in it for War Prevention Funding?

The Obama administration released its fiscal year 2013 budget request last week. For overall State Department and USAID international affairs programs, the president’s request represents a 2.4% increase over last year’s levels. However, the budget includes lower levels of funding for several programs that FCNL supports to help peacefully prevent deadly conflict. In a positive development, the budget request reduces the amount of diplomacy and development funding included in the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) account [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODkx/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2Zjbmwub3JnL2lzc3Vlcy9wcGRjL292ZXJzZWFzX2NvbnRpbmdlbmN5X29wZXJhdGlvbnMvaW5kZXguaHRtbCMhIyE  ] , which funds war-related programs. Read more of our analysis on some key budget accounts related to war prevention funding.

(What About War Funding?)

While war spending is on the decline, the proportional cost of the war has not changed. Last week, 88 members of the House [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODk4/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2Zjbmwub3JnL2lzc3Vlcy9hZmdoYW5pc3Rhbi9ob3VzZV9sZXR0ZXJfc3VwcG9ydHNfYWNjZWxlcmF0ZWRfYWZnaGFuaXN0YW5fd2l0aGRyYXdhbC8jISMh  ] , including many of those influential on foreign policy issues, sent a letter to President Obama supporting an expedited end to the decade-long war in Afghanistan. As Congress sets the stage to debate the funding request and troop levels in Afghanistan over the next 18 months, U.S. policy on when military troops will leave Afghanistan remains unclear. Read more of Matt Southworth’s analysis [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3OTAw/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2Zjbmwub3JnL2Jsb2cvMmMvd2FyX2Z1bmRpbmdfcmVxdWVzdF9kZW5vdGVzXzY4MDAwX3Ryb29wc190aHJvdWdoX2xhdGVfMjAxMy9pbmRleC5odG1sIyEjIQ  ] of the budget request for war funding.

Kenya: FCNL Briefs Congressional Staff

Earlier this month, Cassidy Regan, Bridget Moix, and Diane Randall briefed a group of Senate and House staff on Kenya as a case for peaceful prevention of deadly conflict [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3OTAz/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2Zjbmwub3JnL2Fzc2V0cy9LZW55YV9Qb2xpY3lfQnJpZWZfMjAxMS5wZGYjISMh  ] . The congressional briefing was followed by a conference call with constituents around the country interested in working with us to ensure U.S. policy supports Kenyan efforts to prevent a renewal of violence in the lead-up to the country’s next national elections. Read Cassidy’s reflections [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3OTA2/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2Zjbmwub3JnL2Jsb2cvMmMvRkNOTF9Db25zdGl0dWVudHNfQ29uZ3Jlc3Npb25hbF9TdGFmZl9LZW55YS8jISMh  ] on the week of briefings, and let us know if you’d like to join us in this work and receive regular updates on Kenya by emailing Bridget.

Afghanistan Whistleblower to Speak at FCNL’s Spring Lobby Weekend

We are thrilled that participants at this year’s Young Adult Spring Lobby Weekend [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3OTE0/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5mY25sLm9yZy9zbHcjISMh  ] will hear from active duty Army officer Lieutenant Colonel Daniel L.

Freedom Road: More Miles to Go: We have reached a critical time in Leonard Peltier’s fight for freedom and yet we have many more miles to go before freedom is won.

You can help us defray the cost of air and ground transportation, lodgings, meals and other incidental expenses.

How?  Be a “travel buddy”.  Purchase travel miles  for $1.00 per mile.  It’s easy.  Donate online at  http://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/miles.htm .  Click on the  Buy Now button, enter the quantity of miles you wish to purchase,  and provide all other requested information.

For example:

• Purchase 120 travel miles ($120.00).

• Purchase 60 travel miles for $60.00 (equal to $5.00 per month, or roughly the price of a cup of coffee at Starbucks).

• You can sponsor any number of miles, in fact-30, or even 12 travel miles (equal to one mile or $1.00 per month).

Note: If you have difficulty accessing the PayPal system, you may use the Donate button at the top of our home page, enter an amount, and leave a message: “Miles”.

Each of us surely can afford to purchase 5 miles.  So, please sponsor attorneys and other Peltier representatives as they travel to Washington, DC, to influence a clemency decision.  Sponsor attorneys for trips to Coleman, Florida, for meetings with Leonard, too. (In 2010 alone, such attorney-client visits cost the LPDOC over $8,000. Due to legal strategies in play, we expect attorney expenses to climb-potentially double-in 2012.) Please also sponsor Peltier representatives as they travel to important meetings and events to help gain support for Leonard’s freedom.

If you prefer, you may donate by check or money order.  Put “Miles” on the memo line.  Mail your donation to LPDOC, More Miles to Go, PO Box 7488, Fargo, ND 58106.

Your donation will be earmarked for the purposes stated here.

But don’t wait. Be a “travel buddy”.  Become a travel sponsor, today!

Thank you.

 

36 Years: Greetings and blessings to the Peoples of Mother Earth who know injustice when they see it, stand against oppression where they find it, and defend the human rights of all Peoples!

Thank you, friends and supporters, for gathering in solidarity with Leonard Peltier.  As you have done on 04 February, raise your voices every day.  Do this until freedom is won!

We’re not finished.  Today (06 February) and thereafter, there are solidarity events scheduled in selected areas. For details, see http://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/calendar.htm .

We’ll be posting photos, video and other event feedback at http://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/04FebSolidarity.htm .

Onward!

 

Freedom Isn’t Free: Native American activist Leonard Peltier was wrongfully convicted in connection with the deaths of two agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Despite the courts’ acknowledgment of FBI and prosecutorial misconduct in the case, Peltier has been imprisoned since 1976, currently at the U.S. Penitentiary at Coleman, Florida.

Help us free an innocent man.  Make your $15, $30, or $50 donation today.

Legal Strategies-The legal team continues to address issues surrounding parole; a transfer so that Leonard can be closer to home and family, as well as have access to quality health care; Executive Clemency; Leonard’s conditions of confinement; etc. We welcome the support of and active participation by the National Congress of American Indians and several interested Nations who, with the attorneys and the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, are developing strategies and advancing the work towards Leonard’s freedom.  Several high-level meetings (some with Administration officials) are expected to occur in Washington, DC, in early 2012. Our activities will continue to involve work with the United Nations, as well.  Frequent meetings between Leonard and his attorneys at USP-Coleman in Florida also will be necessary. Travel expenses, in particular, are expected to be a significant part of our budget for 2012.  Please help.

Lobbying the U.S. Congress-As has been done in the past, we’re busy lobbying senators and other Members of Congress to gain their support for Leonard’s freedom, as well as for hearings on the “Reign of Terror” and other issues related to the Peltier case.  To date, this activity has been focused on mail and fax communications. To enhance our effectiveness, a lobbying trip to Capitol Hill and face-to-face meetings with congressional leaders is planned. You can make this happen.

Outreach and Public Education-We continue to reach out to luminaries and activist organizations to galvanize support for Leonard’s freedom.  We’ve recently received the support of the largest labor union in Canada, as well as resolutions passed at various Occupy Movement sites.  In addition, we’re conducting outreach to U.S. colleges and universities to educate the students about the Indigenous Rights movement and Leonard Peltier’s case. Demonstrations are planned worldwide on the International Day of Solidarity with Leonard Peltier on 04 February 2012, too. Participate as you can.  These and more activities will be the highlights of 2012. Please support these efforts.

——-

Background: Native American activist Leonard Peltier was wrongfully convicted in connection with the deaths of two agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Despite the courts’ acknowledgment of FBI and prosecutorial misconduct in the case, Peltier has been imprisoned since 1976, currently at the U.S. Penitentiary at Coleman, Florida.

The evidence shows that the FBI was the aggressor in the firefight that occurred on June 26, 1975.  From 1973 to 1976, Indigenous People on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota were victims of beatings, drive-by shootings, and stabbings carried out by local vigilantes who collaborated with the FBI.  Peltier and other Indigenous activists were forced into a defensive posture to protect not only their lives, but the lives of others who were present-elders, women, and children.  Indeed, Mr. Peltier’s co-defendants, tried separately, were acquitted on grounds of self-defense.

The evidence also clearly shows that the U.S. government’s goal was to orchestrate Mr. Peltier’s conviction by any means-including falsifying extradition documents and intentionally committing fraud on a Canadian court, as well as suppressing evidence of Mr. Peltier’s innocence during his trial.  By the government’s own admission, the critical part of the prosecution’s case against Mr. Peltier was the ballistics testimony which, years after his conviction, was discovered to be false.

You Did It! Thank you for Pledging to the Vigil For True Justice Moratorium on Prison Profiteering April 1st thru April 31st.  33-more members joined this week   Can you help us out by convincing just one other person to join our movement?  This can be any family or friend that you know is affected by mass incarceration.    The power of ONE is remarkable and with your referrals, we cannot lose.  Please pass along this e-mail, or inform someone to:   Visit our Pledge Page:  http://www.change.org/petitions/vigil-for-true-justice-support-legislation-for-more-effective-and-efficient-operations-of-prisons

Or Visit our Facebook Organization Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Vigil-For-True-Justice/353983961281504

While most states are currently reducing their prison populations, Illinois has added more than 4,000 inmates to its prisons.  The problem of prison overcrowding is rooted in decades of tough on crime legislation, the war on drugs, and harsh sentencing practices.  These policies have drained Illinois of vital resources, while having only a minimal effect on the crime rate.  Today IDOC is one of the state’s largest agencies, with a $1 billion budget.    $362,000,000 on Phone Calls  An exhaustive analysis of prison phone contracts nationwide has revealed that with only limited exceptions, telephone service providers offer lucrative kickbacks (politely termed “commissions”) to state contracting agencies – amounting on average to 42% of gross revenues from prisoners’ phone calls – in order to obtain exclusive, monopolistic contracts for prison phone services.    These contracts are priced not only to unjustly enrich the telephone companies by charging much higher rates than those paid by the general public, but are further inflated to cover the commission payments, which suck over $152 million per year out of the pockets of prisoners’ families – who are the overwhelming recipients of prison phone calls. Averaging a 42% kickback nationwide, this indicates that the phone market in state prison systems is worth more than an estimated $362 million annually in gross revenue.    60% of Commissary Profits go to the Department of Corrections 523 Salary Reimbursement Fund.  These funds, generated by often over-inflated costs of common good items such as: soap, shoes and winter-wear, do not go to encourage re-entry programs, job-programs, counseling programs, privileges for good behavior, victim relief funds or children of the incarcerated funds.

Offenders are caged, some 23-hours a day, families cannot afford to offer support or aid, many are functionally illiterate, re-entry programs fall flat or short and so many are unleashed into society, unprepared, ill-equipped and more dangerous than when they went in.    The Vigil for True Justice is an initiative formed by several joined community groups and advocacy programs.  It is a 31-day MORATORIUM  (APRIL 1ST THROUGH APRIL 31ST) where inmates, family members, tax payers, citizens, victims’ family members and friends Stand STILL, open their eyes and cease all spending for items that exploit mass incarceration such as Phone Calls by Consolidated, Unnecessary commissary items and Vending Companies such as Ace Vending.      Administrators of the Vigil will subsequently support legislation for goals such as:     More reasonable communication pricing  Better Vending Pricing  Better Commissary Pricing  Better allocation of funds for effective family services and Restorative Justice for Victims’ Families  Meritorious Good Time – HB 3899  Alternative Sentencing  Electronic Home Monitoring  Step Down Programs for Re-Entry  Job Placement Programs for Ex-Offenders  Travel Relief for Family Members    We will continue to stand each year / twice a year until the corporations that continue to profit from mass incarceration listen and find ways to profit on prosperity rather than poverty.     Let us all join together and send a message that we will not continue to fund a broken system.  We want incarceration to work as intended by the constitution.  To promote public safety and restore useful citizenship.    For text message updates; text “Vigil” to: 312-593-6998

Sample letter text:

All supremacists from all conspiracies within all demographics, who all collaborate with the white supremacy, must stop dictating their demographics embrace the devolutionary direction of the corporate structure’s convolution; and support allowing kids to be kids, and young women to become women, at minimum, before they’re introduced to any and all forms of corporate whoring.  As well, female supremacists can’t collaborate with black and white supremacists in gradually taking away women’s reproductive healthcare and rights, as well as choice; the price they’ll pay when they do will be much greater than the crumbs they get off the republicans plate.  Happy Rhodes sings, “words weren’t meant for cowards, be brave…“; write on.  They say, the brave are those who stand when standing is hard; I say it’s when you only stand, “all endowed with inalienable rights…” (regardless of the fact that the dino-in-chief has taken away any and all rights from everyone except himself with the NDAA law, for all intents and purposes), yet, we only have the ones we exercise; remember the constitution republicans- that includes women.  As well, I’ve said the united suck of assassins is a country of extremists, supremacists of every conspiracy within every demographic, conspiring with the republican conspiracy (which is why the remocrats keep winning even though they’re only 20 % of the population, the dempublicans keep building them up), including academic, supposed Christian (the ‘good cop’, some of the civil wrongs movement, ‘bad cop’, all republicans, S.S Tea Partiers, our taliban and al-queda), supposed Sikh, LGBTQ, etc.; Machiavellians and uber-ones, at minimum fascists to nazis, one and all- it’s not even a possibility that the evolution’s direction can stand against the corporate structure’s convolution’s devolutionary one, at this rate.  The republicans final solution, to steal everything from everyone through the extermination to extinction of humanity and large mammals, technocracies of the world have permanently altered weather cycles causing the increase in the amount and severity of supposedly natural disasters, yet, we know all life are necessary threads in the fabric of life, we can’t allow to be torn asunder. Extermination of humanity, large mammals, determined by the republican conspiracy, globally, millions of birds falling from the sky, fish dead in the water, etc., must be heeded now; before they sukceed in dictating the extinction of humanity and large mammals- as well as the destruction of the earth, and, possibly, all life as you know it. Life is indivisible, struggling with global unnecessary unending war is necessary; although, the intellect can‘t lead, for the life doesn‘t follow. Remember a lesson from WWII, if you’re not taking bullets, you’re making them, and fascism is the last step before the complete backslide to Nazism, possession is only nine-tenths of the law in a poverty stricken mind, centrism among extremists is Nazism, don’t be it or allow it; Ghandi said “…be the change you wish to see in the world“, and Castaneda said, “discipline is the art of feeling awe”, etc.. Turn 360 degrees around, back to the evolution, dispelling the convolutions devolutionary direction; and getting back to the real future, we’ll only have if you do! By abolishing the over use of fossil fuels (vaporizing the spirit and sucking the very blood of the earth, like the remocrat conspiracy does through their psychic terrorism, the suck, assassinating their only real competition, the real left, the evolution), and the devolutionary direction dictating the permanently altered weather cycles, 100 year storms happening every ten, 10,000 year cataclysmic events happening every thousand, 100,000 year destroying all life events, like alteration of magnetic poles location, their reversal, degradation of our orbit around the sun, happening every ten thousand, etc., and being most alive! Don’t be republicated into mirror supremacist images of the white supremacy, being woman, black, supposed christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, Asian, Atheist, male, LGBTQ, age, etc., supremacists isn’t equality, there’s no equality of nazism; destruction to extinction aren’t profit, pleasure, nor power- Audre Lourdes said, “you can’t take apart the man’s house with the man’s tools.”.  The premeditated mass-murder of 8 billion people isn’t allowable, opinion, freedom of religion, choice, civil liberty, a right, equality, American dreaming or way of life, nor cool. The dreamers must awaken, unlike the Dino-In-Chief’s response to the tea partiers, which is tripartisanship, centrism, caving, the real left’s is fku+theshtthatshatu, as it should be; thank goodness! They can’t sociologically program somas of illimitable potential, that are indivisible, as life is, in order to republicate automatons for la machine, if you, don‘t agree, resist, refuse, be more so. Popularityism=vampirism=cannibalism=centrism supremacy=fascism=extermination=nazism=extinction.  Thanx.  Goodbye.

Matutinally Yours,

Guatemalan Congress Ends Term with Promises Broken

With the 2011 elections over, Guatemala’s new President and Congress will take office this weekend on January 14th. The term in office ends after four years of promises that never amounted to the passage of the community radio bill 4087. A recent editorial highlights Congress’ failure to pass the bill, as well as the general disregard for the needs and concerns of Indigenous Peoples, due to what he calls a lack of political will.

“The time has come for the Occupy Movement to Occupy AIPAC.” – Adbusters

The pro-Israeli government lobby AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) is gunning for a war with Iran— just like they pushed us into the catastrophic war in Iraq. And their manipulation of our political process destroys the possibility of a just peace for Palestinians and Israelis.

Join us March 2-6 in Washington, DC as we Occupy AIPAC during their annual policy conference. We’ll have a Summit on Iran, Palestine and the Arab Uprisings, as well as workshops, cultural performances, film showings, protests and creative direct actions. Register now.

And there’s another way you can call for peace with Iran. Help us take out a full-page ad in the influential DC newspaper—The Hill. We’ll send a clear message to Congress that AIPAC does not represent the majority of Americans who won’t want another war in the Middle East. If you can donate $100 or more, we’ll include your name in the ad.

Now is the time to make a large, people-powered push to show our opposition to the stranglehold the Israel lobby continues to hold over our government. In this new year, let’s make sure the US doesn’t launch into a new war!

Say no to AIPAC. Say no to war with Iran. Say no to Israeli occupation. Speak out for peace and justice.

Bernie Buzz: Where Do We Go From Here?:

As a new year dawned, Bernie laid out a bold agenda for the coming year. “The American people want action. They want their government to start representing the 99 percent, not just the top 1 percent,” he said. As people struggle through the worst economy since the Great Depression, he added, the top priority must be creating jobs by rebuilding our infrastructure and transforming our energy system.

Saving American Democracy

Corporations should not be allowed to spend unlimited, undisclosed sums of money to influence political campaigns. “If you or someone you love is a corporation, do not sign this

,” Stephen Colbert tweeted after Bernie was a guest on his show. More than 175,000 people have now signed the petition backing Bernie’s constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s infamous ruling two years ago this month.

Stop Postal Service Cuts

One of the first items on the Senate agenda in the new year will be Postal Service reform. Prodded by Bernie, the Postal Service agreed to a five-month moratorium on closing post offices and slashing 100,000 jobs. That gives Congress until May 15 to consider Bernie’s Postal Service Protection Act and other reforms. “The post office must adapt to the challenges of the digital age, but we must do it in a way that makes it stronger and more responsible to the needs of consumers and not just cut, cut, cut,” Bernie told an American Legion hall packed with 500 people.

Fighting for Senior Citizens

Bernie has been a leader in the fight to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. As chairman of the Senate Subcomittee on Primary Health and Aging, he also is working on reauthorizing the Older Americans Act. This landmark law created Meals on Wheels and other programs for seniors. The investment in nutrition services to keep seniors healthy more than pays for itself in reduced health care costs, Bernie told Vermont Public Radio.

Action Page: Junk SOPA, plus bulk Occupy America bumper stickers:

Though not as heinous on its face as some other legislation we have

seen pushed in Congress lately, the so-called Stop Online Piracy Act

(SOPA) would take a giant ax to the roots of the internet in an

attempt to a deal with a problem up the branches somewhere.

Junk SOPA Action Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1091.php

The bill is so poorly written and vague in its definitions that it

would potentially criminalize innocent behavior, an open door to

selective prosecutions. Worse yet, it would give single troll

complainers the power to completely and unilaterally shut down

websites on false accusations, and force those sites to engage in

lengthy legal battles to restore themselves.

Even those who originally supported the concept of SOPA are appalled

at the blunderbuss tactics of the bill as presented, and Congress

must go back to the drawing board, with the input of those who really

know how the internet works, to come up with a bill that will not do

more harm than good.

Though advertised as a bipartisan bill, on closer inspection only two

Democratic sponsors were initial sponsors, Schiff and Berman, whose

districts include all the big Hollywood movie studios. What a

coincidence! And we should add, having just finished producing a

movie ourselves we have great sympathy for those who deserve to be

paid for their creative work, for how else can we righteously

compensate our valiant cast, crew and support people? But this SOPA

bill is absolutely the wrong way to do it.

And after you submit the action page you can now request a bulk order

of the new “Occupy America” bumper stickers that have been so very

popular. Demonstrate your support for the spreading occupy movements.

We are just asking about a dollar each in bulk to help cover our

costs, which include sending free single stickers to anyone who wants

one. We just got in the latest shipment and all remaining single

sticker requests are going out now. Here is a direct link to the bulk

order page.

Mark Your Calendars For A Radio Appearance By The Pen

In the meantime we are getting attention in the progressive media. On

Jan. 16 at 2PM PST, yours truly, The Pen, will appear live on the

Harrison radio show in Los Angeles on KPFK to discuss these latest

developments. You can tune in from anywhere over the internet at

either http://www.smartshow.org  or http://www.goharrison.com .

We’d also like you to know we are doing the final tweaks now on the

mix for the theme song for “The Last War Crime” movie and anticipate

getting it posted on iTunes in about a week. It would be wonderful if

we could make a splash on iTunes about the song, as a way of

introducing people to the movie itself. We pulled in the top rock and

roll and jazz studio musicians in Los Angeles for this, and the best

background singers on the planet, who have worked with everyone from

Natalie Cole to Phil Collins. It’s one hopping rock and roll track

entitled, “It’s A Crime”, so please stay tuned for that.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed

to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.

Ask Mitt Romney: Will you ban birth control?:

Add your name to this petition to Mitt Romney.

http://act.credoaction.com/campaign/bc_romney/?r=366362&id=33156-585348-EYbAAPx

“Do you support the right to contraception provided for by the Supreme Court ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut, which protected the right to privacy and ended the ability of states to prohibit the use of contraceptives?”

Learn more about this campaign

The latest battle in the War on Women is over birth control. That’s right: the extreme anti-woman Religious Right want to make it legal to ban birth control.

And recently, Rick Santorum unequivocally stated that he opposes contraception and thinks states should be able to ban the use of contraceptives.1 But Mitt Romney, the other Republican frontrunner, has yet to explain his position on birth control.

More than 99% of women in America who are sexually active have used contraceptives.2 That is an astounding proportion of the electorate who would be directly affected by the legislative agenda of an anti-contraception president. We deserve to know whether Mitt Romney would work to deny those women the right to access birth control.

Does Mitt Romney want to make it constitutional to ban birth control in America? Demand a yes or no answer, sign the petition.

The right to use contraceptives was guaranteed in the Supreme Court ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut. This ruling guaranteed a right to privacy and deemed it unconstitutional to outlaw birth control.

The public has a right to know explicitly if Romney agrees with Santorum that Griswold should be overturned — and whether he would seek to overturn it through judicial appointments, legislation or constitutional amendments that would make it possible for states to ban birth control.

As a frontrunner for the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney very well could be the next President of the United States, and we know that anti-choice members of Congress will continue to push anti-contraceptive legislation. If a bill limiting access to contraception crosses his desk, Romney will have to choose whether to stop the attacks on the millions of women who use contraceptives.

The American people deserve a clear, unambiguous public statement regarding Romney’s position on women’s access to birth control.

Does Mitt Romney want to make it constitutional to ban birth control in America? Demand a yes or no answer.

An Historic Moment, an Historic Year–During its annual conference

late in 2011, the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI)

unanimously passed a resolution on behalf of Leonard Peltier and

pledged to actively initiate and support efforts to bring Leonard

home.  We urge all supporters to print the resolution and send a

copy to your Members of Congress.

——-

Background: Native American activist Leonard Peltier was wrongfully

convicted in connection with the deaths of two agents of the Federal

Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Despite the courts’ acknowledgment

of FBI and prosecutorial misconduct in the case, Peltier has been

imprisoned since 1976, currently at the U.S. Penitentiary at Coleman,

Florida.

The evidence shows that the FBI was the aggressor in the firefight

that occurred on June 26, 1975.  From 1973 to 1976, Indigenous

People on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota were

victims of beatings, drive-by shootings, and stabbings carried out

by local vigilantes who collaborated with the FBI.  Peltier and

other Indigenous activists were forced into a defensive posture

to protect not only their lives, but the lives of others who

were present-elders, women, and children.  Indeed, Mr. Peltier’s

co-defendants, tried separately, were acquitted on grounds of

self-defense.

The evidence also clearly shows that the U.S. government’s goal

was to orchestrate Mr. Peltier’s conviction by any means-including

falsifying extradition documents and intentionally committing fraud

on a Canadian court, as well as suppressing evidence of Mr. Peltier’s

innocence during his trial.  By the government’s own admission,

the critical part of the prosecution’s case against Mr. Peltier

was the ballistics testimony which, years after his conviction,

was discovered to be false.

You can help to free an innocent man.  Learn more about the Peltier

case at http://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info .

Special Announcement:

Joint Message from Friends of Peltier and the Leonard Peltier

Defense Offense Committee

22 December 2011

Friends and Supporters,

We wish you a happy holiday season. Enjoy your friends and family

and good times. May you and your loved ones be doubly blessed in

the coming year. We know you join us in wishing no less for Leonard

Peltier and his family.

The coming year will be an important one for Mr. Peltier. Now,

more than ever, unity will play a key role in winning Leonard’s

freedom. Therefore, we’re pleased to announce the merger of Friends

of Peltier with the Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee.

Soon, our mutual Web sites and mailing lists will be merged. Some

of the assets of Friends of Peltier will be discontinued (those

being primarily blogs and pages on social networks, so you may wish

to follow instead the LPDOC blog and pages on Facebook, MySpace,

Twitter and Google+). This merger should be somewhat seamless and

occur with a minimum of disruption.

Via the Free Peltier Now Coalition mailing list, be assured that

each of you will continue to receive announcements, information

about Leonard Peltier’s case and his statements from prison, as

well as other pertinent information. Your mailing list subscription

will remain active unless you choose to unsubscribe. If you are

registered on both lists, we’ll see to it that you don’t receive

duplicate transmissions.

Current LPDOC subscribers will be added to the service used by

Friends of Peltier (due to ease of use and exemplary support

services, and all at a lower cost). Consequently, some of you may

receive a message asking you to verify your subscription. Simply

follow the directions in the verification message.

If you are currently on the Friends list, you should add

contact@whoisleonardpeltier.info  to your address book to be certain

our messages are delivered to your e-mail inbox.

The Peltier support network will be bigger and better for this

action and we know you will bring the same level of commitment and

hard work to 2012 as you have to all you do and have always done on

Leonard’s behalf. Remember, we are “Leonard’s Legions,” hundreds

of thousands of supporters in solidarity worldwide. We are united

in one purpose, speak with one voice: Free Leonard Peltier NOW!

Happy Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday to you, here’s a Sample letter:

Hi.  Yeah, according to the remocrats, not to be mistaken for the dempublicans, supposedly, when a man pulls out a person is born, and every company and corporation is also a person, with enumerable inalienable rights, yet, Newt bling Gingrich says kids have no right to education unfettered by required professional work, no right to a childhood unfettered by working a job; all remocrats say, middle-class to poor people have no rights to universal, quality, healthcare, jobs, clean air, water, soil that can grow food, etc..  They say the elderly have no right to the Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, they paid into, and for, their whole lives by being the fine Americans they were their whole lives, they want to privatize, personalize, or just do away with all our societies protections and services for the elderly.  They say women have no rights to affordable healthcare, women’s healthcare, reproductive care, equal wages for equal work, etc..  They say, and are now trying to insist through legislation, that we don’t have the right to vote, unfettered by repressive exaggerated identification demands, by unnecessary and unaffordable fees that are tantamount to poll taxes; all attempts to reinstitute Jim Crowism- except universally now.  Well, “we, the people…”, have news for the republicans, a twinkle in a man’s eye, and corporations, aren’t people and they don’t have inalienable rights, we do, and we’ll be voting to get that message across to them in November, 2012!  Thanx.  Goodbye.

Matutinally Yours,

WISDOMKEEPERS: Meetings with Native American Spiritual Elders~ 2: Wisdomkeepers takes you on an extraordinary spiritual journey into the lives, minds, and natural-world philosophy of Native American spiritual elders. The elders tell who they are, how they live, and what they believe. Magnificent portraits complement the soaring text. Among those profiled are Buffalo Jim, a Seminole who describes the Seminole story of creation as if the Everglades were Eden, talks of his people’s individual passage into the afterlife, and reveals that every field of wild plants is, to him, a medicine garden. You’ll also meet “Uncle” Frank Davis (Fancy Warrior), a Pawnee Elder who describes the “path to understanding” as a trial filled with scraps of paper, each one a piece of a puzzle. Also profiled is Mathew King, a Lakota who warns of punishments or those who would destroy the Earth Mother. Readers share the innernost thoughts and feelings, dreams and visions, laughter, healing remedies, and prophecies of the Wisdomkeepers, whose humanity shines through every page.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading,

By Camilla L Riley (Stillwater, OK) – See all my reviews

This review is from: Wisdomkeepers: Meetings With Native American Spiritual Elders (The Earthsong Collection) (Hardcover)

This is a book of incredible beauty – linguistically, visually, and spiritually. In an era which seems to skew more and more to the material and superficial, the Wisdomkeepers who are interviewed bring life and its challenges to the level of essence. Although I have walked in the daily company of Native Americans for more than fifty years, my understanding of the nobility of heritage and centered life grew immeasurably with the reading of every page. Anyone who passes this one up will be the lesser for doing so.

5.0 out of 5 stars it’s an experience,a journey,words cannot describe this book,  By A Customer

This review is from: Wisdomkeepers: Meetings With Native American Spiritual Elders (The Earthsong Collection) (Hardcover)

I have recommended this book to anyone I know that is on a path of awakening and can hear the words with their heart.I have given this book as gifts numerous times, but I cannot find it anymore which greatly saddens me. I would love to turn the world on to this book as it so beautifully depicts our Native Americans – OUR indigenous people. This book does justice to out Native Americans which they so very much deserve. I do not know how to thank Steve Wall and Harvey Arden – they have touched my life with this richly textured, genuine and moving piece. No words can express the power behind the span of the eagle’s wings, the moving wisdom of a redwood forest or the joy inside to which this book has brought me.

This review is from: Wisdomkeepers: Meetings with Native American Spiritual Elders (Paperback)

She:Kon (Sago)(Hello) To all who read this and hope you are all well. I personally know some of the Wisdom Keepers, Elders whose words are in this book and know them to be of good mind and person. I am Mohawk and Odawa and I come from upstate New York near some of the Reservations and I fully recommend this book for any person who needs to come back to the reality of the living world around them and bring them back to the basic relation between humankind and all the life that is on this earth and surrounds us in the cosmos.

Twigs of my poetree on soul:

 

 

Prema

Timeless, sublime, tonal, Melodious sojourn into life, self. River banks, as petal and thorn Roll, filled by agua’s flow; Entwining on her bed, Know, love is. Mauna, Silence, echoes its song; Which no words could trace. Thus ananda, bliss, intimates The eternal, and details Living shantih, peace.

 

 

If

One lived as prayer, Their light adding To the well of light, Their every step in grace, They left no footprints; That will echo always.

 

 

grace

Feeling with your spirits hands, See with the eye of your heart, Hear with the ear of your soul, And know with the body Of life’s knowledge, We can be prayer; Being forever answered.

 

 

Thanx

While feeling sacred on This All Hallow’s Day, I also feel pangs of the Hungry, so wrought by The profane; for the food Wasted by us could feed All the world’s…. Yet, Betwixt, in the mundane It’s only hurled.

 

 

So

You, a joyous lake. Me, the mountain, underground, Which, you fill, That holds you always. Within and without us, Is this love.

 

 

virtue

Were it a cause that Opened those tiny arms, Alighting brilliance, a smile, As I hugged him back, then, It could not be known. For, this child towards The divine leads goes. Would it be that we say, It is not the life; Rather, we know?

 

 

V.E. Day

Denatured, this first, Still, inside life’s waters rise To Spring’s tides. We feel, Below emotions ebbs and flows, “…Go On”‘s vernal Raison d’etre, to not know!

 

glory

Will of life’s wind howls There is no fear. Being all the way live, ’til.

 

 

Ring Unbroken

The way open, Beyond time and bone of space, In front of nose, original face.

 

 

Illumine

Fire in the sky And your art, Entering my eye,

 

 

Tone

Life’s signs and meanings Perceived by all our senses and Being’s foci of attention, can Divine from within and without. That’s if our inner-eye Isn’t clouded by false-ego, Self-conscious self, or doubt.

 

 

Soul

As my breath is the one, prana, And the life’s pulse, pala, Reaching angelic source, sura, So is this mind, manas, a Flowering unfoldment, Unendingly touching The eye that would it see; Unbeckoning unto thee. As well, this Bodhi, a temple, Of the four and fifth, nur, So entered by atma, a ray of thy sun, Thus being winged, and As such with wind; Flying only in dharma’s dance, Is returning to, Brahma, you. For, there yet, by thy grace, go I.

 

 

Heart

Like the wind moves, Not love, nor hate, Only everything and nothing At all; at once.

 

 

Departed

The depth of one’s sorrow Is the well’s fathom, Of meanings and moments Shared with them.

 

 

why

As acid rain from your closed eye, An acre of rainforest falls each Second, earth’s tears bleeding; For, all you see is grey.

 

 

My latest, social justice:

 

 

Injustices

Addressing, not addressing them Have costs, the former is individual, The later is global, as well.

 

 

what, when, where, how, why, who

Here it’s said the pen is mightier than the sword. In the East, pen and sword in accord. The latest great equalizer, multi-media, In its ever more myriad forms, in the hands of Media whores, has helped put the con back in the Convolution.  One of its en vogue ‘realisms‘, Unnecessary, unending war is all good if you Continually win, as long as its continually whined About, allowing cover for the supposed left Marketeers.  Destruction to extinction are not Profit, pleasure, power, for, clarity, is a sword That cuts all ways, without, as there’s no cutting, And a pointless point.  We must put down the Sword, and pick up the pen, to be in accord.

Liked building them at X-Mas, when I was a kid, and not Workaholicing, BUT, they liked me too much, as in the Republican conspiracies ‘leave no child’s behind alone’ Program, part of their numerous pedocide programs (also Dictating the central dependence on rote was increased, Decreasing education, and it was under funded); a Cornerstone of their genocide against non-remocrat Caucasian boys- destroying their competition before it even Becomes it, usually they subcontract out this ’work’ to all Conspirators of all conspiracies, liquidating our assets and Asses all our lives, “keeping what they kill“.  According to The rems this is “perfect murder”, as military, (supposed) Religious extremists, etc., make good “amoral professionals”; And with the aiding and abetting of the cops, all are assured Of “getting away with it”- the only law in the land.  Where, Anywhere they can, schools, Churches, temples, colleges, Homes; kids who work, with parents who overwork, are ’Easily accessed’- the cliché, “no good deed goes Unpunished”, in the extreme, etc..  One of the military’s Pedocide program’s favorites, oldest son raping all his Siblings in one night; he‘s in, they‘re out- another, training Of animals to suck, destroy and murder.  One might ask, How do they get plausible deniability for the gov’t’s total Involvement‘, simply, they import pedophiles from other Lands; paying them with green cards, careers, advancements, Etc.-  so, the united suck of assassins can assert, “they didn‘t Do it all“.  One might ask, why, for example, would the Supposed civil rights movement (only part of the African- American republican conspiracy) go along with this genocide, Because they see it as ‘reparations, every white man they’re Allowed to destroy is one they’re never going to have Competition from‘; either.  Why the supposed feminists…, They don’t think of it as ’rape of boys, rather, it’s controlling Men, for, a denatured boy is more easily separated from his Realization of potential, ass, then assets, by any and all women‘.  Why women…, the majority in every way, have long sided With the remocrat conspiracy in it’s spearheading the corp. Structure’s convolutions’ war on the middle-class to poor men; Hear about rape of women a lot, rape of men never, that while The number of both is close- the pedocide of kids programs are Never allowed to be talked about, even the known ones like the Roman Catholic Empire‘s.  Why the totalitarian LGBTQ Conspiracy…, they consider ’humans as clay, you want Gay People, make them Gay, for, gays are more probably not going To go along with larger societal norms, more likely to react to Them, and more probably materialistic out of defensive needs, At minimum, therefore, more accessible, readily recruited, And monetarily fruitful’.  Why rem Gays…, Nazism, some of Them think it’s their right to have sex with boys, reparations, The fact that raped kids have a far greater probability of Becoming non-heterosexual; all do it to give astronomically More power to the republication of the populace processes, As any conspiracy enables all conspiracies, especially the Biggest- requiring a reactive totalitarian conspiracy to fight Against it, supposedly, etc..   Not to forget, some are leaders Of the anti-gay, amoral minority supposed Christian Conspiracy, movement, destroying and murdering out of self- Loathing, subconscious or otherwise; uber-hypocrites.  All Conspirators find it irresistible to destroy Caucasian non-rem Kids, just because they’re heterosexual, male (the target group), White, etc..  This genocide is one of the main reasons why Empire’s like Roman and British rose, fell, why the rems, 20 % Of the population, control the other 80 %; like Apartheid South Africa used to be- except, here it’s mostly economic Apartheid.  The bi-polar axi of supposed power for the last half A century, the republican and totalitarian conspiracies, the rem Being fascist, at minimum, and totalitarian, the totalitarians Being that, at minimum, and corporate agents, had successfully Divided and conquered the world between them with their Dictate, “if you‘re not us you‘re the enemy“; yet, not quite, After the fall of the “Berlin Wall”- and even less now.   That’s Why King George and his Dick Cheney tried to manufacture Astronomically more Islamic extremists through their and the Elite of the rem conspiracies’ purposely not preventing the Attacks on 9-11-2001 and the unnecessary war in Iraq, etc., a ‘Boogeyman’ to replace the U.S.S.R..   To dictate an Exponentially increased amount of tax dollars vacuumed-up, Centralized to the rem dominated military, etc., industrial Complexes, at minimum, and, over my dead body, an “Unending unnecessary war against terror“, to make it, Astronomically, instead.  Every demographics controlling Conspiracy conspiring with the rem conspiracy to replicate Conspiracy as a replacement for humanity; the exigency of the Delusional construct of materialism, and its twin, nihilism, … For sanity.  Never hear “rage against the machine”, and it’s Replication of machine parts, anymore, seldom, “fight the Powers”, that unbe, even, why, because they’re all collect Ively, the machine and supposed power; “centrism” was naz- Ism in Nazi Germany- popularityism=vampirism=cannibal-Ism=centrism=fascism=nazism=extermination=extinction. No One was ever perfect, nor, born this way, unbeing extremely Narcissistically requires pathological lying; which only rems Do, while dems pathologically half-truth- destruction and Murder are of no profit or pleasure. Whereas, you’re a soma, Organically and (w)holistically growing, your solutions with Reality concentrating or diluting over time through your foci Of attention; every person is illimitable in their realization of Potential- and life is indivisible, be.  Ghandi said, “Abhaya, Fearlessness, is most important for an individual and a Nation”.  A pop song, “…I will go down, with this ship, I Won’t throw my hands in the air and give up, (there’s more Light in this world than exists)…, I”m in love and always Will be….  …I will go down, with this ship, I won’t throw My hands in the air and give up, (there’s more light in this World than exists)…, I’m in love and …(all ways) will be …..”  Will you?  Viva la evolution, viva Green Party.

“What’s Love Got To Do With It…”

They say, a rose by any other…, Would still smell as sweet. Every 9 seconds a woman is raped By someone who says he loves her. Give a real gift to sisters, And brothers, all, reach one, And teach one, to not be a Link in that patriarchal chain, Not adding to that number of Humanities bane, not a statistic in la machine’s game, ever; From this Valentine’s Day on.

off the ass’s back, onto the elephant’s

Without their toes touching the ground, will Be their latest trick, to astound. Chris said it, “They want some of that destroying $, like Cigarettes, liquor industries“; as if he never Heard of crack?   On Traci’s show, ‘Scare Tactics’, he says, “we do what we want!”, One of the most devolutionary series the Corporate structure’s convolutions multi- Media conspiracy has aired, aiding in the Sociological programming of destruction, And murder into the coin of the realm. They Sure do!, like Reagan Nagin’s committing Genocide against predominantly poor African-Americans for the remocrats, the Premeditated murder of about 5000, etc.; as “The river taking what‘s the rivers“, because They purposely didn‘t prevent the flooding Done by ‘Katrina’ in New Orleans- through Not reinforcing the levees for 30 years.

Barack has been the best person for the Remocrats conspiracy since Ronald Reagan, Continually insisting on bipartisanship and How “honorable“, “patriotic”, “good”, etc., Remocrats are, etc., as they pathologically Lie, divide, conquer this country into the Ground, etc.; moving to the right so much He’s almost not a dem. He’s putting the con Back into the convolution, devolving into Remocrat lite, the remocrats are moving Right to avoid him, becoming tea baggers.  If he chose to be a tea bagger, all the rems Would give that up and resurrect the Whig Party. Now, does anyone want to see him in A wig, I guess he’s not Black enough; is Any dem? While he and MA dem leaders Purposely lost Ted’s seat to a tea bagger,  Dems are losing ground all the way around.

Barack insists, “I want you to believe”, He’ll realize, “change you can believe in”, Etc., while anyone who asks anyone to Believe anything, ever, is a conman.  Just what the convolution ordered, a Machiavellian dempublican that makes Believe he isn’t; same as it ever was- Don’t accept his “change”, what’s left in Your pocket after the remocrat’s vacuum- Up economics ’sucks’ up all your dollars, Leaving only change trickling down. A Spending freeze is what the remocrats Ordered, Barack delivered, and it will Dictate the deaths of thousands of lower Middle-class to poor. All Kings, Queens, Divas, Goddesses, have no problem with The remocrats slave/master paradigm, now That they get to be the masters; don’t let Them liquidate your assets and asses.

Little girls sexually abused by older boys, Possessed by remocrat conspiracies ‘suck’, Psychic terrorism, in third grade. Several Times a week, mugging boys. A kid stabbed To death over a pickle. Being thrown down Flights of stairs, exactly timed anatomical Destruction of feet, ankles, knees, legs, etc., To destroy potential future competition for Sports contracts, et al. Assaults, insults, Intimidation, routine; etc..  That’s some of What they did in public schools before high, 40 years ago.  They insist the country goes Down in their bipartisanship contract with The remocrats. Genocide against non-rem Caucasian boys with potential, to destroy Remocrats future competition, etc..

Barack’s went to “The Families” annual National Prayer Breakfast (of champions?), The supposed Christian conspiracies world Dominionism cult, “fashioned on the mafia”, Whose rem political leaders commit adultery There, are being investigated for fraud, as It‘s tax-exempt status as a Church is; whose Event set the stage for Uganda’s “kill the Gays” bill to be rolled out? The African American conspiracy‘s, which everyone Knows doesn’t exist, because, Al says, ” There are no conspiracies”, just like they, “Can’t be racist or criminal”, job is to hand The end of humanity and the evolution to The rem conspiracy; because the remocrats, Having destroyed their brand name, the Country, and the global economy, almost, Can’t get it on their own. “It’s all about the Benjamins”, extinction of large mammals Humanity; we can’t let them- act, now!

 

 

infanticide, pedocide, genocide, oh my

Republican conspiracies Nazi programs: infanticide, “suck” ing infants to death in The crib, with their psychic terrorism; Feeding on their souls.  The destroying of Infant’s testicles, dictating who won’t be The uber-class, remocrats, dempublicans. Determining an underclass; systematically Deep sixed before they can even crawl.

Pedocide, Roman Catholic Empire, many Hindi Sects, military, etc., systematic Sexualizing, abusing, assaulting, raping of Mostly boys, determining under achievers, Criminals, institutionalized, addicts; those Who may not stop the cycles of ill, taking Others with them- down.  Target group, Caucasian, dictating who won’t be the Uber-class; who won’t strive, thrive, or, Even be alive, to avoid having their asses And assets liquidated- loved ones undone. Parents, your taxes, pay your kids rapists!

All genocides, I’ve struggled with all my Life, yet, never mentioning this one, tea Baggers were manufactured to organize on, Caucasian.  Target group, Caucasian boys, Who are dictated to not be uber-class, by Programs mentioned above; their undoing, Assassinations subcontracted out to every Other conspiracy, to silence victims and Dictate destruction, murder as profit and Pleasure are the coin of the realm- for, the Largest conspiracy only grows when any Conspirator does their bidding.  Every Remocrat aids and abets all pedociders, Infanticiders, genociders, at minimum, While most dempublicans do too.  Many Of these Nazi machine parts, say “they do It for Jesus”, only multiplying their Atrocities- they’re abominations, one, all. What shall be done, act, if not you, then Who, now, then when, here, then where?

 

 

“all is fair in love and war”

If you hear it, flee, no matter how invincible you be.  Real feminists are evolutionary, like me, and don’t Destroy, murder; while our struggles must advance, For e.g., healthscare industry, etc., attempting to Impose remocratic Gov’t into our lives, cutting Women’s access, rights to healthcare, reproductive Rights, civil and human rights- they suggesting “Being a woman is a pre-existing condition”, etc..  Yet, it doesn’t hurt to remember that, while women Are over 51 % of the world, and some of them gave Birth to 100 %- there’s a global war against middle- Class to poor men.  Also, critical of the women’s Conspiracy, we see these progressive societal signs As indicators that women’s permanent victim-hood, And supposed concurrent lack of responsibility for Society embracing the devolutionary direction can Be considered officially coming to a close; ergo, Excuses for their Nazism should also lessen over Time- not lessen getting equality, just assassin Superiority in the united suck of assassins food- Chain.  Here, women are 53 % of the population, Have more $, as a whole, are the voting majority And purposely don’t run for office or vote for Women (as the interlocking, interlaced societal Systems, unnaturally based on the convolutions Scarcity, have placed women on a higher rung On assassins, $ and baring kids worth, ladders hierarchy), have more entering college and univ., Girls have closed gap in test scores with boys in Pre-high school, live 5 years longer, etc..  Ergo, Women’s roles in the corporate structure’s war Against middle-class to poor men must stop, As the war must; otherwise, the dictation of the Extinction of humanity and large mammals, the Corporate structure’s ‘final solution’, is the only Possible result.  Therefore, assassins fraternities, Other college, professional assassins groups, train Women to destroy, murder men for delusional Profit and pleasure, should be struggled with.  As Should the using of all healing arts as destroying, Murdering sciences, for e.g., Kali directed ‘use‘ of Kamasutra to destroy men, usually in conjunction With the republicans psychic-terrorism, ‘the suck‘; Similarly, Taoist use of  Tantric sex therapy, “great Draw“ techniques, etc., to do the same; TM, etc., Techniques, stop themselves from having orgasms To sexually devolve, destroy men; Reich’s “orgone Therapy” disciplines; positions where ‘the suck’ Removes extreme amounts of energy from a man, And a woman is potato mashing before he knows it, Etc..  Other conservative sects, supposed: Christian, Wiccan, Santiera, Yoruba, Voodoo, Hoodoo, Satan Worshippers, etc., mostly using forms of vampirism With the suck, cannibalism, etc.; also collaborating In the mass-rape of those Caucasian boys (the target Group) chosen to be non-remocrat.  Infanticide, Assassination by suck, stealing souls.  Targeted Infants, whose testicles they destroy.  Many of them Work in helping professions, prisons, where they Have stationary prey.  Spike in violence against boys By girls, and men by women, they counting on male Embarrassment, etc., self-censoring to avoid stigma, So, they don’t report the attacks, etc..  Personally, For e.g., at the height of my physical prowess, I was Repeatedly assaulted by a Native-American Roman Catholic lesbian, and a Canadian immigrant actress, Viciously, they hoping I’d reply in anyway, so, they Could just lie and get the police state to murder me For them; I didn’t- the immigrant used her acting Skills to cry and lie on demand to get me attacked By the police anyway, repeatedly.  Lower middle- Class to poor women destroying lower middle-class To poor men with potential scam, purposely lying, Going out with them, having kids, without marriage, Kids even being mentioned; giving society body bag Filler, one of their jobs, and them a ‘poor women’s Retirement program’, must be stopped- the men do The ‘right thing‘, “no good deed goes unpunished“.  Not to forget the Irish, Italian fascists favorite,  Getting life insurance policies on their 19, fit, Husband’s, then assassinating them, collecting the Insurance.  Supposed feminist movement’s doing Genocide of non-remocrat conspiracy Caucasian Men, for the remocrat conspiracy; murdering their Main competition.  Everyone must keep in mind That Carl Jung says 80 % of all action, thought, Emotion are compensatory, part of our reactions to Our pasts, etc.; no one should falsely criticize, Etc..  The less targeted, war on women, must be Stopped.  Fastest growing group of AIDS infected Is African-American women, for 2 decades; why?  One of the dwindling, and aging out providers of Choice in women’s healthcare, Dr. Tiller, has been Cut, again, his assassin may get parole, someday, Why?  If you don’t exercise responsibility, its Siamese twin sister, freedom, Will wither, like a Muscle, as well.  Sadly, now, it first needs to be Exorcized before its exercised.  It’s not too late, Evoke, act, be.  Viva la evolution and Green Party.

 

 

Armageddiup

A 60 th: birth of Israel, and Al Nakba, mournful Remembrance of atrocities in Palestine; you and I. Two sides of the same coin? Spoils of war, what’s Left for.., after all has been..? Coin of the realm, The destruction, murder that made it, and sides. At 16 I said USSR and USA were these sides, racing Towards each other, the closer they got, the more Alike…, exigency replacing humanity, globally; They’re them in the Middle East, a mix of la Machine, beast, et al; extinction incarnate. Why there won’t be anything but their peacing on Each other, til they can war, waring pays 10 times More and they broke the sky; as everybody knows?! They just have to keep the convolutions show going Long enough, deluding enough, so, you don’t be Change evolution needs; to stop the extermination Of humanity they dictate. When 100 million are Dying annually from unnatural disasters, instead Of 10, when war over food, water, is more common, And only military rules everywhere; peace will be A notion, like love conquering all, dwindling moms Tell kids, only when dads aren’t around. Then, Humanity will be dead, after that, human species, Large mammals extinct. Why, `cause you believed Their cons now, like sides existing, to destroy, Kill, is profit, pleasure, etc.. If they wanted Peace there would be. Why do the convolutions lies Fly, `cause you let them. The life is indivisible, Divide and conquer only works on the divided. Be.

Hunger strike against Iraqi War funding Going strong, with Medea and Codepink. “No more funds for war and occupation, “We…” need healthcare and education”. “12 billion wasted on this war a month, That’s $5000. every second”; trillions Your grandkids will pay higher taxes for Their whole lives! Supplemental war Bill will be voted on in a few days, Bush wants another 184 million for it, An unnecessary one, they hope to make “Unending”, Kofi Annan called “illegal”; McCain says, “it may last a 100 years”- Don’t let remocrats rob you, your kids, Grandkids of their livelihoods, stop war Funding, stop the war, now, bring our Troops home; if you support them. Liz Yelled across the street, “time to go”, Then cops arrested her, we were going Home, it didn’t matter, more police Crime against free speech. Unlike the Cries of 10 year old boys not let out of Fallujah with their families so the next 2 generations of Iraqi men can be killed Now, “We,…”, will not be silenced. They can’t silence the global thundering Cry for justice, “We, the people…”, Won’t let them; tell Congress we want Our families home. Stop the war, now!

 

DC WA$H

Assbackwards, just the way the terrible twos, Bipolar axi, remocrat/totalitarian conspiracies Like it. The gloves, their collaborators, Dempublicans, socialists, making humanities Extermination now, extinction later, reality. Supposedly, they’re diametrically opposed, While they collaborate in genocide, etc.. War On every nonremocrat male, from middle-class To poor, you must be one side, or the other; Not them, you’re the enemy. In capitalist Society, totalitarians play a supporting role, As money plays in totalitarian ones; the ol’ Cold war fix still in. Their rabid militarist Jaws locked on, humanity can’t exist until They’re gone. Pedocide programs, remocrats Pride and joy, one, where military sexually Abuse kids with potential, who they deem Won’t grow up to be remocrat; target group, White boys- destroy their competition before They become it, and adults. All conspiracies Collaborate with them to varying degrees, Manufacturing rule by most nazi conspiracy; And nazism as way of life. We, the people, Shouldn’t grind up the seeds. How did this Happen, by almost all embracing their Devolutionary direction, the corporate Structures, la machines, convolution. Only Way to change that, is to change everything, Uplifting all life, devaluing conspiracy in Everyway, every moment, everyday; feeling. Thinking through their bricks of illusions, That make their walls of delusions, in their Mental cells, their personal hell; human, Being alival, not, la machines survival- now.

 

 

Saddam Barack Osama Hussein Obama Bin Laden’s

As the remocrats call him, train that could, Hope, change, their bipartisanship that sailed, Almost destroying the world economy, this Nation, now turned into a tri-partisanship, With the tea partiers steering it into the rock, Not the Plymouth Rock that landed on us, we Not landing on it, but, rather, their piece of The rock, everyone wants to increase, their Crack, delusional profit and pleasure from Mass-destruction and murders‘, crash is Coming, or it’ll sink the country with it.  He Squandered the real lefts’ gift of the majority, Hillary as V.P., Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat, Governorships, he made the rem wave; he Built the rems up in every way, his caving has Led dempublicans to cave, he colluded in loss Of the House- he’s better for rems than dems.

How: the dems who now pathologically half- Truth, asking how far when the rems tell them To bend over; the rems, whose motto is why tell A truth when you can lie, still pathologically Lying; and the TP’s, their motto, why tell a lie When you can extremely lie, have conspired, As supposed Christians, since the 80’s, to war On the middle-class to poor- thru unnecessary Wars, deregulation of s + ls and banks, not Overseeing and policing the real estate markets, Demonization of the poor and labor, control Of the multi-media conspiracy, unending war, Fake financial derivatives, corruption, vice, Voter fraud, Citizen’s United, etc., Supremacy Court rulings, intelligence, etc., operations Against all people, guised by Patriot Acts, etc., Engineering fixes and locks to dictate centrist Caving (implosions), like Hitler took over Germany, ‘using’ locks, file clerks, cops, Secretaries destroying, the duopolies’ Barack Being the lock, the worse the dems do, the More they depend on him winning, like the Better the rems do, the better the totalitarians.

All supposed, business of every kind, religion, Art, science, education, are denominations Of their actual religion of mammon and Mollock, fake twin gods of greed, war, all Tools of Machiavellians’ divide and conquer; Lobbyists insist not be separated from the state. Those unnatural disasters, like the purposeful None prevention of: the attacks on 9-11-2001 And Reagan Nagin’s flooding of New Orleans With Katrina, not reinforcing the levees (for 30 years, washing away public housing, poor, Unions), are part of vampirism, cannibalism, Murder of all life by the corporate structure’s Elite and their convolution’s enforcers, the Rems, etc..  Engineered in advance, like the Premeditated murder of 8 billion humans, Through humanity and large mammals Exterminations they‘re engineering now, Dictating their extinctions.  Some call it Disaster economics, etc., I, rems scorched- Earth programs, slash and burn politics; Seen most clearly in their flip-flops five Minutes after the dems take the Blackhouse.

Remember all the references to the supposed Necessity of ‘sausage-making’ between the 2 Diametrically opposed supposed Christian Conspirator bedfellows?  Barack just had to: Follow through with King George and his Dick Cheney’s reign on the ‘American way Of life’, hand trillions to the rich and richest Corps., make healthcare reform a healthscare Industry bail-out bill, give the extremely rich Extremely large tax cuts while raising them On the poor, then “the deficit‘s too high, they Must cut payments to elderly, take formula Out of infants mouths, decrease heating help For the poor, etc.; and now, he supposedly has To destroy in order to keep them from closing The gov’t for 2 weeks, and in 2 weeks he’ll Have to, again, continually caving to rems Demands to increase speed of their supposed Christian blitzkrieg of all life, through their War on the middle-class to poor and the earth.

American dreamism=extremism=centrism= Fascism.  They don’t need to make the Sausage they screw us with, no legislation Is better than bad, don’t allow them to tri- Partisanshit on us, if the rems close the gov’t And it costs the nation 500 million then they’ll Lose in 2012; but, the dems insist on playing Boy scout- like Al Gore’s not struggling to Prove he won in 2000 by a million popular Votes, 100,000 in FL, he won electorally.  We see it now in Barack’s hedging, on the Side of the dictator Mubarak against the up- Rising democracy protestors in Egypt until They already won, when they needed to hear Keep the circle in the Square; in his not “Walking with labor” in WI, yet, he promised He would in his campaign, who needed to Keep in the peoples’ State Capital building.

An African-American leading conspirator not Struggling against merit pay, vouchers, charter Schools for special supposed Christians, kids Need teachers salaries raised, public schools Improved, never separate and unequal.  In his insisting everyone believes, when, if Anyone asks anyone to believe anything, They’re a conman.  Anyone running for the Office lacks the prerequisite character for The office of President; for, power corrupts And absolute power corrupts absolutely. We Need someone to really un-run for the Un-presidency of these un-ited states, it Would be unprecedented; they need to Guaranty they must replace themselves with An executive branch coalition or committee Of at least 12 people- that would replace the President, Vice President, in their first term.

Corporate lobbyists are anti-humanity, anti- Life, although not pro-choice, by definition.  Destruction and murder are of no profit or Pleasure.  They can’t con the honest, are you?  The life is indivisible, only the divided can be Conquered.  A lesson from WWII, if you’re not Taking the bullets, you’re making them to kill All.  Responsibility can’t be abdicated when One abdicates their power to the gov’t.  If You don’t exercise your responsibility, its Siamese twin sister, freedom, will wither like An unused muscle, as well.  Only when your Rights are exercised, are they.  Demand dems Be real and dems, not just dinos, democrats in Name only, what the rems need to make you Silent, sukcumb, collude, conspire, decay, die. Only moving, in a unifying direction, onward. 14all41, we stand together or all fall forever; Be, or humanity will not, viva la evolution.

 

 

C’est La Unvie

A million monarchs lie dead, though, No less sociological programming of Upper-middle to rich classes with Decadence, affluence, inclusion, is. No less societal determination of Middle to lower, being excluded by Division and conquering, privation. Yet, they, on wing no more, still fly In our spirit’s eye, heal humanities’ Heart. While their silent cry echoes The 33,000 species extinct each year, A rate not seen since the last ice age Ensued; does it move you? Does your curiosity ask why? Will you, on this 33rd Earth Day, allow A tear for all life’s fallen? Consider The losses economic apartheid incurs, Mirrored by the divide human-centricity Has levied? Our underlying duplicitous Disregard for life, greed and oil fueled, Won’t abate for our existence, will you?

Day Laborers: Ready & Reliable: Ready and Reliable. Day Laborers are Here to Help.   During this holiday season when good will abounds, the best gift one can give a day laborer is a dignified day of work.

These days, our families aren’t expecting luxurious holidays, simply hoping for basic employment to provide for every day needs, a roof over one’s head, and to put food on the table. Especially in the winter, when work is more scarce and need is even higher.

More often than not the day laborer community has become the focus of attack with our contributions to our cities’ well being going unrecognized. In the face of that marginalization and stigma, contracting workers is itself an act of immeasurable solidarity.

Friends, please consider hiring a day laborer this month. To help facilitate this process, we’re launching a new website

http://www.HireaDayLaborer.org

There, you can find the day laborer worker centers closest to you.

I think you’ll find it’s the help you need, when you need it, at the price you can afford.

Thank you,

Pablo Alvarado.

CAIR Action Alert:

Don’t Let Lowe’s Off the Hook for Appeasing Anti-Muslim Bigotry  Take a letter to your local Lowe’s store manager, post a photo online

http://www.cair.com/ArticleDetails.aspx?mid1=763&&ArticleID=26895&&name=n&&currPage=1

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 12/21/2011) — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today urged all people of conscience to continue to hold Lowe’s corporate headquarters accountable for its decision to appease anti-Muslim bigotry by delivering a letter of protest to a store manager and posting a photo of that action online. Nearly 250,000 people have already expressed their disappointment in Lowe’s.

A sample letter to Lowe’s managers provided by CAIR states in part: “Lowe’s should agree to undertake reasonable actions to show the broader American public that it’s business model includes no room for bigotry. Until that time, we have no interest in your products.”

The home improvement chain recently pulled its advertising from TLC’s new reality series “All-American Muslim” because of an anti-Muslim campaign initiated by fringe right-wing groups like the Florida Family Association (FFA) and Internet hate sites such as “Bare Naked Islam” — which recently featured a number of threats of violence targeting U.S. and European mosques. The hate groups objected to the show’s non-stereotypical portrayals of American Muslims.

Lowe’s officials have ignored requests to meet with community organizations.

A number of spontaneous protests have take place outside Lowe’s stores nationwide and the retailer was forced to delete thousands of anti-Muslim comments from its Facebook page.

CAIR: Lowe’s Stores Face Protests for Pulling Ads from ‘All American Muslim’ CAIR: Lowe’s in Facebook Hell as Racist Comments Pile Up

“Lowe’s seems to be betting that the upcoming holidays will distract people from the corporation’s decision to appease anti-Muslim bigots,” said CAIR National Legislative Director Corey Saylor. “If everyone takes a few simple steps we can remind Lowe’s that caving in to bigotry is a bad business model.”

Saylor noted that numerous politicians, celebrities and journalists have already spoken out against the decision to pull the ads. This week a group of Baptist and Jewish leaders delivered a petition with 200,000 signatures to Lowe’s headquarters. A separate petition has over 40,000 signatures and is growing.

CAIR is working in coordination with the National Boycott Lowe’s Network and the Boycott Bigotry campaign.

Sheriff Joe Shut Down: Last week, the Justice Department released a blistering report confirming what we already know: Arizona’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio harasses, intimidates and terrorizes Latinos and immigrants, and he’s been doing it for years.

And because of these findings, the federal government is FINALLY removing Arpaio’s authority to enforce immigration law.

Make no mistake about it, this victory would not have happened without you.  Advocates from around the country signed petitions demanding that the Department of Justice investigate Arpaio and they answered the call.  We demanded that DHS and Secretary Janet Napolitano stop allowing Arpaio to funnel immigrants into deportation proceedings and finally, after three years, they’ve responded.

We’ve had some major victories this year, but this is definitely one of the biggest. It’s days like these that remind us what working together can do.

Sheriff Arpaio has until January to decide whether he will reform his policies or face a lawsuit, and he’s already stated that he won’t go down without a fight.

We’ll keep you updated, but for now we just wanted to thank you for helping make a difference.

Best,

Adam Luna

America’s Voice

P.S. Of course, Arizona isn’t the only place where the Constitutional rights of Latinos and immigrants are being violated. Right now we have an ongoing crisis in Alabama caused by HB 56, their extremist new anti-immigrant law.  We’re already seeing politicians who voted for the law are now beginning to back pedal. Now is our chance to make a difference in Alabama. Please join the fight.

Tell Gov. Brown: We’re serious about banning methyl iodide.: Let’s keep the pressure on.

Together we have held the line on methyl iodide in California. Getting it banned there will be a first step to getting this chemical out of U.S. agriculture, period.

We’ve pitched a long battle here in California to keep the cancer-causing pesticide methyl iodide out of strawberry fields because getting it banned here will make a national ban all the more likely. Some 90% of the nation’s strawberries are grown here. So without a CA market, methyl iodide just isn’t viable.

Back in 2010, growers argued that without methyl iodide, California’s billion-dollar agriculture industry would hemorrhage jobs and profits. Guess what? The cancer-causing pesticide has been approved for use in California’s strawberry fields for a year now. But farmers aren’t using it. Records show only six applications in the entire state, all on very small farms – by now there should have been hundreds.

Why only six? Because consumers like you have helped the UFW and our partners keep up the pressure. By writing e-mails, calling decision makers, passing local resolutions and more, you have helped us hold the line to stop growers using methyl iodide.

According to a Dec 14 article in the Huffington Post, “some growers say methyl iodide is too politically risky to use. ‘The people who oppose this particular chemical are really loud and effective,’ said Liz Elwood Ponce, co-owner of Lassen Canyon Nursery in Redding. ‘If no one said anything, I think the chemical would be used more widely. ‘”

And according to our partner Pesticide Action Network, PR people at methyl iodide’s manufacturer, Arysta, have told reporters that they “don’t call it methyl iodide anymore because the public thinks methyl iodide means poison.”

Help us keep up the pressure. Last April, Brown said he’d “take a fresh look” at the methyl iodide decision. Since this time, memos have gone public showing that the decision to allow the use of this toxin was based on political calculations, not science.

We’re told that the new head of the state’s Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) will be appointed around the new year. This person will have the power to reverse the prior administration’s decision and ban this toxin once and for all.

Please send an e-mail today and tell Governor Brown that whomever he appoints to head DPR should take swift action to reverse this bad decision and protect farm workers and local residents who live in agricultural areas. Keeping this carcinogenic chemical out of California must be a priority for the new year.

Live Green. Give Green.: December: The month of the charitable tax write-off.

http://www.gp.org/index.php

Please don’t forget about the Green Party when making your end-of-year donations. But you can’t get a charitable write-off on your taxes with us. We’re a political party.

We’re not like the other non-profits you give to. We can’t receive grant money or foundation funding. And we’re not like any other political party, because the Green Party and its candidates reject corporate money.

The Green Party is doing something unique for democracy in the United States. We’re a political party that insists that values, your values, guide public policy. And those values mean we’re fully funded by individuals like you.

Our “foundation funding” comes from sustaining donors, people who give every month. James M, if you and the tens of thousands of other people reading this email were to commit to give $10/Month, then the Green Party of the United States would be a multi-million dollar organization overnight. And if everyone gave $25/Month… well, you get the idea. It’s a fun vision for this country’s political future.

Live Green. Give Green. It’s more than a cute phrase. It’s the very essence of our political movement. Give today.

Act: http://www.gp.org/action/

Sincerely,

David Sacks  Fundraiser, Green Party of the United States

PS. Live Green. Like Green. It’s not as catchy, but that shouldn’t stop you from liking us on Facebook.

 

BREAKING NEWS: Arpaio smack down by DoJ AND DHS / NOTICIA: Golpe Contudente a Arpaio por DoJ y DHS: lealo en espanol abajo de la linea

Great news! Today, the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security came down hard on Sheriff Arpaio in no uncertain terms, calling him out for his racist and unconstitutional abuses of the Latino community.  Here is an excerpt from the DoJ report:   ‘Based on our extensive investigation, we find reasonable cause to believe that MCSO engages in a pattern or practice of unconstitutional policing. Specifically, we find that MCSO, through the actions of its deputies, supervisory staff, and command staff, engages in racial profiling of Latinos; unlawfully stops, detains, and arrests Latinos; and unlawfully retaliates against individuals who complain about or criticize MCSO’s policies or practices, all in violation of Section 14141. MCSO’s discriminatory police conduct additionally violates Title VI and its implementing regulations.’   And, from the DHS press conference, with Secretary Janet Napolitano:   “The Department of Homeland Security is troubled by the Department of Justice’s findings of discriminatory policing practices within the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office,” Napolitano said in a statement. “Discrimination undermines law enforcement and erodes the public trust. DHS will not be a party to such practices. Accordingly, and effective immediately, DHS is terminating MCSO’s 287(g) jail model agreement and is restricting the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office access to the Secure Communities program.”   This is amazing news for our county and a tremendous victory for all of you who have been a part of this campaign! Please take a minute to find out more about these important developments here,

¡Buenas noticias! Hoy, el Departamento de Justicia y el Departamento de Seguridad de la Patria llegaron con mano dura a Sheriff Arpaio con términos muy claros, reconociendo sus abusos racistas y anticonstitucionales de la comunidad Latina.    He aquí un extracto del informe del Departamento de Justicia:    ”Basándonos en nuestra amplia investigación, encontramos causas razonables para creer que MCSO esta involucrado en un patrón o prácticas policiales que son anticonstitucionales. En concreto, encontramos que MCSO, a través de las acciones de sus agentes, personal de supervisión, y personal de mando, están relacionados con discriminación racial hacia Latinos, como; paros de trafico ilegalmente, detenciones y los arrestos de Latinos. Al mismo tiempo las represalias ilegalmente que tomo contra las personas que se quejaban o criticaban las políticas o prácticas de MCSO, todo esto llevo la violación de la Sección 14141. Conducta policial discriminatoria de MCSO, además, viola el Título VI y sus reglamentos de aplicación.”   Y departe de la conferencia de prensa de DHS, con la Secretaria Janet Napolitano:    ”El Departamento de Seguridad de la Patria está preocupado por el resultado del Departamento de Justicia acerca de las prácticas discriminatorias de policía dentro de la oficina del alguacil del condado Maricopa,” dijo Napolitano en un comunicado. “La discriminación sofoca el cumplimiento de la ley y destruye la confianza pública. DHS no será parte en tales prácticas. En consecuencia, y con efecto inmediato, el DHS ha terminado el acuerdo 287(g) de la cárcel y restringirá el acceso del Sheriff de la Oficina del Condado Maricopa al programa de Comunidades Seguras.”    Esta es una noticia buenisima para nuestro condado y una gran victoria para todos los que han sido parte de esta campaña!

Sample letter:

Please, I’m sure we would all agree, we are a nation of immigrants.  Over 10 million immigrants currently live in our country illegally. Most were attracted by low-wage jobs unwanted by US citizens in agriculture and service industries. With few exceptions they live responsibly, raising families and paying taxes just as legal residents do.  Although they are accused of draining American health and education resources, comprehensive studies show that undocumented aliens contribute as much as they take from the national economy. Still, they are unable to live normal lives and make their full contribution to society.  This while costly attempts to stop illegal immigration are failing, and it is time to consider alternatives.  For the good of our nation and in fairness to immigrants, Washington must set clear guidelines, quotas and policies regarding people from other countries who live and work in the United States, and who want to become US citizens. I urge the White House and Congress to support comprehensive immigration reform as proposed in H.R. 4321, with changes, no repatriation to country of origin, no large fines, etc.- or, at least, the Dream Act, now.  Thanx.  Goodbye.

Matutinally Yours,

Thanx for all you do and Happy Holidays!
