Election Or Revolution? An Open Letter To The US About Voting

October 11, 2016 By Robert J. Burrowes 7 Comments

As citizens of the USA with a presidential election approaching you have a wonderful opportunity to ponder whether to participate in this election or to participate in the ongoing American Revolution.

Your first revolution might have overthrown the authority of the British monarchy and aristocracy but the one in progress must remove the U.S. elite, which has executed a political coup against your government. And you cannot remove elite coupmakers in a fraudulently conducted election in which the ‘choice’ is essentially between two violently insane individuals, each of whom represents the violently insane US elite.

The second revolution, moves along steadily with routine outbreaks inspired by a multitude of peace, environmental and social justice issues and occasional ‘uprisings,’ such as the Occupy Movement in 2011 which spawned a range of new and visionary initiatives. This revolution’s value is that it could give citizens of your country the chance to finally reclaim the Republic for those people who genuinely care about “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” And, just as importantly, have sufficient vision to regard these aspirations as something to be shared with the entire U.S. population, starting with Native Americans, and even those of us in the rest of the world including those countries that are currently victims of U.S. elite violence, whether it be wars, drone strikes, coups, economic exploitation or ecological destruction.

The Desecration Of ‘Pure’ New Zealand

June 10, 2016 By Endarken Leave a Comment

Thanks to the Panama Papers whistleblower, some of the fantastical delusions that most of the world holds about New Zealand, are finally falling to pieces.

While trust lawyers market us to foreign capital, Tourism New Zealand has spent the last 17 years proclaiming us to be “100% Pure New Zealand.“

Although there was a time when New Zealand had a pristine and untouched environment, it is long past.

Yet the assertions to the contrary are deliberately constructed, tailored and manicured by marketing and advertising gurus who, with wheels freshly greased by public funds, then impress them upon the global public.

Exactly how much public money is spent on maintaining the facade, no one knows.

A Republican Revolution Against Common Sense

October 30, 2015 By David Seaton Leave a Comment

At the center of all the nuttiness of today’s Republicans is their bankrollers’ fear of regulation.

The ceaseless culture warfare is merely a tactic to simultaneously attract and confuse a sufficient number of the ignorant to enable the “one-percenters” to paralyze the political process.

Examined under this light, their behavior is anything but irrational: they have much to fear, because the globalized world is crying out for regulation.

An illustrative example:
