Spring Rising: Oppose The World Police State

By 1 Comment

The U.S.A. has always been a colonial/Imperial power, but, especially since WWII (the big one) has staked its claim to be the “World Police.”

Now, to the Empire, does being the cops of the world mean that it moves gently around making sure everyone is safe, prosperous, and happy? No, just like the local police forces in the “Homeland,” the World Police Force is there to protect the interests and power of the global 1%. The rest of us, and I mean ALL of the rest of us are collateral damage, or potential collateral damage to the Empire.

VIDEO: Bloody-handed CODEPINK Activists Confront Henry Kissinger

“I have been a member of this committee for years and I have never seen anything as disgraceful and outrageous and despicable …”

You know that feeling you get when someone says something that is just so laughably absurd that you feel yourself stuck in this mental and emotional limbo between anger and hysterical laughter, typically settling somewhere in between; a murderous chuckle, perhaps.

Well, that’s the place my mind settled Thursday at about 9:30am EST when John McCain said those words about a group of activists, myself included. In a government run on logic, justice, freedom and honesty, McCain would have of course been directing those comments to the lizard-faced Kissinger. But alas, those four tenets are about as absent from these hearings as youth and common sense.

The First Amendment Is The REAL Patriot Act

By 1 Comment

Law is meant to protect the inalienable rights of people. But the Patriot Act acts. It does not protect human rights. It is not real patriotism. It imposes the will of institutional government upon people, at the expense of the rights inherent to our humanity.

The First Amendment in the United States’ Bill of Rights is the original patriot act. The First Amendment is the formula for true patriotism; a prescription to non-violently oppose monopolistic isms, and isms of all sorts. It is the way in which change is conducted without hostile confrontation. In this way, the First Amendment is the very definition of patriotism.

There are five distinct parts to the First Amendment. These five distinctions spell out five separate rights of freedom, and five stages essential to patriotic action: think, seek, speak, stop, act.
