Year of the Rabbit

Reeling from a series of mass shootings,

Replaces reeling from a series of massive storms,

Time again for the right to gather together and say guns dont kill people, neither do nuclear weapons, tanks, rockets.

If im standing around and violence breaks out, someone dies, i still could be prosecuted for just being there, whereas i can sell a gun to someone who goes out and kills someones mother, father, and child and i carry no responsibility whatsoever.

Patriarchal violence.

The problem with the secret/top secret stashing of documents is the a priori assumption that these documents though illegal to posess, are innocuous, irrelevant, or forgotten, yet we will never know  because, guess what, they're secret.

Secret upon secret upon secret.

Of course, many secret documents have to do with department of defense

Among those who dont believe in a god centered nation there is an assumed right, guaranteed by the first amendment to have the freedom not to believe. In contrast whenever gun advocates argue about gun freedom that instead of gun control everyone should carry a gun to defend themselves.

With that in mind, lets say I should have the freedom not to carry a gun and still be free from the violence of anyone who wants to harm me. 

The bill of rights, especially the second amendment do not protect the violence of gun owners anymore than local, state, and federal laws and regulations protect those who own a car. Technological advances in weaponry make it necessary to think about advances in gun safety beyond relying on reporting from adversarial gun manufacturers, sellers, and owners.

To tell the truth, politics hardly ever solves social problems but involvement and standing up in your community against the drugs, guns, violence and standing up for the unwritten bill of rights, we all have the right to be free of the intellectual, social, bullying and physical violence of the majority.

Don't Obey, Resist

  Don't Obey   It’s the people who obey the orders who scare me Not the ones who give them, those you can ignore. It’s the obedient, whose conscience is devoid of reasoning. For when consent is based on authority alone Freedom and true democracy cannot reign, REAL Democracy is merely giving temporary consent, each time, Not relegating power, forever

Stop Standing Around

Stop Standing Around Here we are. We, the american people get to play the german people, get to dress up our consciousness for genocide denial. Are there even words strong enough, we've spent our collective hubris already. Some 13 or so saudi terrorists crashed planes into the towers, the pentagon, a field in pennsylvania and the people of afghanistan paid the price, the people of iraq were thrown in for good measure and last week america threw in with the twisted dictatorial netanyahu. America is Revenge. Saudi Arabia never saw a bomb, a plane, tank, had its water shut off, its food supply, its white flowing robe empire stripped clean. This week we supported and encouraged the wrong nation to do what it has wanted since 1948. The arabs knew it in 1967 and 1973, that the zionists have eyed the entire region. The Zionist are not the Taliban nor Hamas, though they are not any more exemplary. Their treatment of women is just as foul, their egalitarianism still bound by prejudices form

Conversation and Change #4 by Kraig Scwartz History of World Social Forum

-
                              World Social Forum   After the Cold War ended neoliberal capitalism , no longer fettered by the Soviet Union, expanded to all parts of the world.   Whether it be farmland in Ethiopia, or the fisheries of our great ocenas, the world increasingly came under the control of unbridled “free market” capitalism and the corporations that serve and benefit from those markets.   Under the sway of neoliberalism, governments deregulated their economies, cut back or eliminated social spending,   pushed aside labor unions and promoted “free trade.” Perhaps the major economic hallmark of this post Cold War era was the expansion of world trade through the WTO, NAFTA and other regional trade organizations.  The yearly World Economic Forum held at Davos, Switzerland embraced the  world-wide neoliberal capitalist order.  Yet,  strong resistance to this push for the commodification of the world emerged in various parts of the world, most notably by the indigenous  Zapatis
