What ever happened to the American Dream???

Saturday, October 8th, 2011

If you’ve been paying at least partial attention, you may have noticed that the world in in upheaval right now and the discontent is has now reached our shores and is manifesting itself into protests like the Occupy Wall Street movement. Basically what is happening in the world right now is that the global financial system is attempting a coup of various sovereign nations and governments by using debt as the instrument for takeover. We have the financial oligarchy trying to take over the world and some say, intentionally plunging the world into financial despair.

Well if this banking and finance stuff is too hard to keep track of and you are interested in what’s really happening right now, watch this video. Its 30 minutes and plus it s cartoon. Kid safe and educational.

At the very least, watching this video will make you aware of why things are the way they are in the world currently. For me personally, I felt like this as I was watching the video.

June 14th its…

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

ON like Michelle Quan. Largely, the majority of people in this country are not totally aware of the primary reasons why we are in the situation that we are in. Take a few minutes (4:39 to be exact) to watch this video. If not, then this is the gist. On June 14th, Anonymous is launching Operation Empire State Rebellion. Basically, its an electronic war started against the  world banking and financial system. Get your popcorn…

U.S. is silent on mass prison protest in Afghanistan

Monday, July 20th, 2009

bagram.650

In another news story out of Afghanistan, which the corporate controlled mass media is again failing to report (and you wonder why traditional news outlets are dying?), There is evidently a mass protest going on in the largest prison in Afghanistan. From the Sydney Morning Herald article:

The prisoners are refusing to leave their cells, but they are not engaging in hunger strikes or violence. Ramzi Kassem, a lawyer for a Yemeni held at Bagram, said prisoners are protesting being held indefinitely without trial or legal recourse. The US military declined to comment.

Unlike Guantanamo Bay, where prisoners have access to lawyers, the 620 prisoners at Bagram are not allowed to visit their lawyers. Afghan Government representatives are generally not allowed to visit or inspect the prison.

In April the justice department appealed a U.S. judge’s decision that the prisoners at Bagram had the same Habeas Corpus rights that the prisoners at Guantanamo had. I’m not saying we should coddle the “terrorists” but they are human beings and a civilization is judged by how it treats its prisoners. If they are in fact guilty of crimes put them on trial. Holding someone indefinitely is unjust by any standards.

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

congress-fish

Once again, the corporate controlled media wants you yo focus on the SHOCKING American Idol final! and none of the main U.S. outlets want you to hear about or care whats going on in our government. Latest news, there are currently 16 members of congress under investigation by various federal and state agencies. As you can see both Republicans and Democrats are both equally corrupt and time and time again are accused of lining their own pockets and pockets of families and friends. Feel free to write your representative or  Senator and let them know your feelings! Thanks to CREW for this information.

Either click on the link posted above or just read the list here posted after the jump…

FCC is now allowed to search your home without a warrant

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

banned!

As reported by Wired.com, in a shocking declaration by the Federal Communications Commission, according to the Communications Act of 1934. If you own any wireless RF device, this includes a baby monitor, wireless router, cell phone or cordless phones, the FCC has a right to enter the property and inspect the item in question:

You may not know it, but if you have a wireless router, a cordless phone, remote car-door opener, baby monitor or cellphone in your house, the FCC claims the right to enter your home without a warrant at any time of the day or night in order to inspect it.

That’s the upshot of the rules the agency has followed for years to monitor licensed television and radio stations, and to crack down on pirate radio broadcasters. And the commission maintains the same policy applies to any licensed or unlicensed radio-frequency device.

I imagine that this will be challenged in court but according to the Wired.com article, the FCC is trying to shut down “Pirate” radio stations. I understand the need to monitor radio stations to make sure that there isn’t some complete wacko giving out advice on how to commit crimes or something but it seems like that information can be ascertained by actually listening to the station!

Repeat after me!  You will not listen to anything over the airwaves that the government and corporations do not control or cannot monitor. Failure to comply will result in financial ruin.

Incredible 420 gathering in Colorado

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

At the University of Colorado, Boulder– its becoming a tradition of sorts, to have a 420 Blaze on the campus of the college. Last Year’s attendance of the University’s 420 celebration was over 10,000 people!!! You just have to see the video to fully appreciate the event. At certain points in the video its so hazy in the crowd that it looks like the people are in a forest fire.

It looks like a great great time… and surprisingly, the police are present for the event but instead of beating and teargassing the party goers, they do what all cool cops should do and let the fun loving, peaceful people enjoy “the outdoors”.

Pirate bay judge biased?

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

judge

For those of us who have watched the Pirate bay trial followed by the stunning verdicts, some breaking news has come out of Swedish National Radio. According to the Wired article:

One of the four men convicted in The Pirate Bay trial is seeking to have his guilty verdict thrown out after learning that the judge in the trial is a member of two pro-copyright groups, including one whose membership includes entertainment industry representatives who argued in the case.

Stockholm district court judge, Tomas Norström told a Swedish newspaper that his previously-undisclosed entanglements with the copyright groups did not constitute a conflict of interest.

The groups include the Swedish Association of Copyright, a discussion forum. Henrik Pontén of the Swedish Anti-Piracy Bureau, Monique Wadsted, a motion picture industry lawyer, and Peter Danowsky from the recording industry’s IFPI are members of the organizations, and were largely responsible for pressing the case against The Pirate Bay before the judge.

Looks like justice is not blind in Sweden either. Lets hope the Pirate bay guys escape the noose and sail off into the sunset. Go pirates, go!

U.S. States are declaring sovereignty from the federal government

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

revolution_fist

Hey, what do you know? More relevant news that the Mainstream media isn’t reporting. They would rather have you wring your hands over Michael Phelps’ olympic sized bong hits and totally remain oblivious to the fact that 8 different state legislatures have drawn a line in the sand and are introducing bills declaring sovereignty from the United States!

So far the tally is includes the following:

1. Washington

2. New Hampshire

3. Arizona

4. Montana

5. Michigan

6. Missouri

7. Oklahoma

8. Hawaii

The main precedent on the claims by the states are recited by the 9th and 10th amendment of the Constitution (part of the bill of rights). Most of this legislation is in the preliminary stages and is not earth shattering news but this is definitely something that should be a blip on the medias’ radar. The most serious and tangible of these eight are surprisingly, New Hampshire of all places.  From Pat Dollard’s blog:

The New Hampshire state legislature took an unbelievably bold step Monday by introducing a resolution to declare certain actions by the federal government to completely totally void and warning that certain future acts will be viewed as a “breach of peace” with the states themselves that risks “nullifying the Constitution.”

This act by New Hampshire is a clear warning to the federal government that they could face being stripped of their power by the States (presumably through civil war!)

The remarkable document outlines with perfect clarity, some basics long forgotten. For instance, it reminds Congress “That the Constitution of the United States, having delegated to Congress a power to punish treason, counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States, piracies, and felonies committed on the high seas, and offences against the law of nations, slavery, and no other crimes whatsoever;. . . . . therefore all acts of Congress which assume to create, define, or punish crimes, other than those so enumerated in the Constitution are altogether void, and of no force;”

Federal gun crime laws? Void. Federal drug crime laws? Void. The gazzillion other federal criminal laws that deal with anything other than the specific enumerated crimes? ALL VOID.

Looks like states are fed up and no longer trust the federal government to look out for our best interests as a nation. Just look at California

Maybe the federal government knew this was coming? I can’t help to think that this is why Northcomm plans to deploy 20,000 active duty troops in the United States by 2011 (“Just in case” of some civil unrest!?!?). Coincidence?

Stay tuned chiiiildren!

Check this video out, its from Sabac Red and one of my favorite MCs Immortal Technique. Its a video called “Fight until the end”. Its an anti police brutality video and urges the people to get up and understand their rights and to fight back. There are great percentage of good law enforcement officers in the world, but there is also increased documented cases of brutality being reported.

Stay connected to whats going on around your world. Knowledge, power and understanding.

Here are some more videos from Immortal Technique. Great beats and lyrics with substance (warning: some graphic images).

List of “W’s” failures

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

1188096596016

Publicintegrity.org was kind enough to compile the mostly complete list of failures of the Bush Administration during these last 8 miserable years. Of course some of the “failures” can be disputed but most of them are verified and abject failures in policy and outright inaction. See whe whole list here.

Of course listed here are mostly policy failures, this isn’t taking into account the other statistics like the skyrocketing deficit, the fact that “W” has taken more vacation than any other president in history and the fact that under Bush’s watch, over 200 years of representative democracy has been transformed into to a quasi facist state that no longer follows free market principals.

You’re doing a hella of a job W! Good riddance!
