All the ghosts to come

 All the ghosts yet to come to haunt us.

Religions should lead the charge for hope but when it comes to revolution and politics, only pressure counts

Is it genocide, is it apartheid, is it racist, is it fascist? The questions of our time, this time. We are certainly getting the fine points of each of these questions which have more to do with morality than anything else. Morality used to be the god prerogative but since we no longer are the benefactor of a just nor rational god because it's been put in the hands of men. So, the questions remain for the new man, Artificial Intelligence. If we believe that AI will be any different than the men who create it, we remove ourselves one step more from reality. All i can say is, "we have a right to defeat ourselves."

Is homogeneity the same as conformity the same as way way too much lack of diversity?

Or Is diversity really always good or just the new homogeneity?

Another question, i wonder if the "discovery" of all the gazans under the rubble will swing from the rope we always try to hang our hopes upon.

When people went to charles bukowskis door, they could hear a big fuck you, go away.

Deportation is just another form of detention and incarceration, proxy style, where the immigrants escape from their own oppressive environment, are returned, like escaped prisoners here.

There is a certain inevitability to climate change as well as certain effects, such as flooding, droughts, storms, all of which effect agriculture, seasonal changes, infrastructure, resource depletion, water shortages.

Well, the same goes for the absence of truthtelling. When there is a social, political system based on lies, denials, and misinformation, there are certain guaranteed results among populations, such as social chaos, divisions among classes, crime, less efficiency, anti-democratic, breakdown of institutions and traditions (which can be a good and bad thing, Eh?), rise of fascism. And like climate change, the decline of these social, cultural and political standards give rise to an ongoing deterioration of social cohesiveness.

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
