Oh right....back to the Corporate religious/new order tripe then?

So this ol' world, is pretty darn perfect as it is then?

No need for any of us to change our outlook, or the way we live, the way we raise our children, what we expect and demand of our leaders?

No need to push for change, to BE the change, to be our OWN leaders?


"We did not hesitate to call our movement an army. But it was a special army, with no supplies but its sincerity, no uniform but its determination, no arsenal except its faith, no currency but its conscience." ~Martin Luther King, Jr., Why We Can't Wait, 1963

"We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people." ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

'ANTHEM FOR DISSENT'

"United in fear we trade freedom, our prize for the Patriot Act as united we securitize
United in power over patriarchy, we misogynize
United in self-righteous arrogance, we imperialise
Untied in degenerate genital mutilation, we circumcise
United we consume and spend, and, united, we capitalize
United in greed we exploit, as united we multinationalize
United we commit economic suicide as, united, we globalise
United in beligerent violence, we waste trillions as, united, we militarize
United we massacre millions and think we're so brave
United we fantasize
United we bomb, destroy, maim, mass murder, slaughter and terrorize
United in massive denial we look the other way, as united, we atrocitize
United in 'might makes right', we dominate and, united, we hegemonize
United we pillage the third world and then, united, we moralize
United we covet their resources and, united, we monopolize
United in total denial we deny that, united, we brutalize
United we believe without question the star spangled propaganda our leaders so unceasingly televise
United we, so very obediently, swallow the many fabricated red white and blue lies
United we're so blind, with closed eyes except wide-eyed Ashcroft spies
And in the many resource rich countries that, united, we occupy and we colonize
And united we impoverish and victimize
Yet another corporate billion is pried and yet another heart broken mother cries and yet another star spangled bomb drops
And yet another innocent child heinously dies
Yet another example of united we collateralize
Just U.S. business as usual, as united we privatize
United we stand completely deranged
Global terrorist in our 'freedom and democracy' disguise
As united we stand apathetic and complicit in American terrorism
As united we turn on TV to de-sensitise
As united we stand in massive denial
As united we ignore the innocent pleas of the innocent ones we exterminate
As united we stand inanely pledging allegiance to the flag of facist terrorism
As their blood on it dries
As united we stand, surrendering our freedom to the real 'axis of evil' Corporation, CIA, and Military guise
As united we stand with our heads in the sand, as the American Fourth Reich is born
And freedom dies
As united we stand so comfortably numb and deniably dumb
That united we don't have sense to realise
That united we stand on the brink of the New World Order totalitarian police state
United we are so......
Blind"

The man who narrated the song above, and who tried to arrest George Bush the other day, for war crimes.

Needless to say, Splitting the Sky ended up in prison, whilst George went on to have a cosy lunch with hundreds of people who'd paid a small fortune to hear him talk.

And you think we don't need to change, Les?

Lizzie,

"And you think we don't need to change, Les? "

Yes I do, I have thought so and organised for change for around 50 years and I agree with most of what you have posted above. I just didn't care for the content of the video,

Best wishes

Les

Same here. The video is a terrible mish-mash...some truths as I see them and a lot of other not-so-good stuff.

Thanks for the link about Splitting-the-Sky. Reminded me to check Leonard Peltier's site to see what might be new with him, too.
