Armed Thugs Harass Journalists at RNC, including Amy Goodman

Teaching young men to attack journalists and innocent civilians overseas, then having them come back to America and attack journalists on our own streets, is fucking treason.

It is a slap in the face to all of us who have served in uniform.

Mayor Coleman of St. Paul Minnesota, and the "Party Leaders" pulling his strings, should be ashamed. Amy Goodman and her people are among the most patriotic Americans ever to grace our presence and these fucking nazis have the idiotic lunacy to arrest them for doing their constitutionally-protected duty.

They've been raiding peace and press-organizations, weapons drawn, all over the area, prior to the RNC convention.

Mayor Coleman's phone number is (651) 266 8535.

If you are attacking journalists in America, you are a fucking traitor.

Solar Hydrogen Breakthrough from MIT

There are BIG problems facing you and me. Just about all of them revolve around energy.

We are in and contemplating wars because of energy needs.

All over the world, there is a growing water shortage.

With abundant energy, seawater can be desalinated.

With climate change, gargantuan amounts of energy will be expended just to deal with evolving conditions.

It is wise for us to invest in solar/hydro on a global scale.

Hate for Liberals and Gay People Drove Gunman, Police Say

Published: July 29, 2008

A man who the police say entered a Unitarian Universalist church in Knoxville, Tenn., on Sunday and shot eight people, killing two, was motivated by a hatred for liberals and gay people...

Integrity

Football games have referees. Why? Because without referees the game would just be an unimaginative brawl.

In the workplace, in the absence of robust policy and real leadership, the "old boy network" ends up chilling out up in the office while those with no aspirations to kiss ass or back-stab do the bulk of the work on the shop floor.

In political-economics, the absence of a viable free press and true representative government result in an unfair, corrupt game. It is simply a larger version of a football-game without referees, or a company with weak leadership and policy.

Correction of this lies in a renewed look at the word "Government". "Government" should be the referee that keeps the game fair. "Government" should be the system of rules that ensure that true integrity and value prevail over corruption.

When you hear people deriding the concept of "government", possibly it is because they (A): Don't want a fair game, (B): Are succeeding due to policy that values kissing ass, stabbing the backs of peers, or demonstrating credible threat over real integrity.

Without the integrity of true representation of human citizens rather than concentrated capital (often gathered through corrupt means), and a social nervous-system defined by a truly free press, "Government" is one step away from Tyrrany.

And here we are.

So what do we do?

I'm Mark Frankenberg. I've been exploring what we can do for a while now. Much of my writing is on my website, http://www.markfrankenberg.com along with links to some of my other creative works.

Why am I writing this today? I was reading an article in The Nation about UBS Bank and how many of the super-rich have been hiding money that really belongs to you and me, and could have been used for things like a new bridge in Minnesota, or decent healthcare for our returning soldiers, or better policing of our financial industries (think, Enron, Indy-Mac, etc), or tax-incentives that will enable us to transition to a clean-energy economy rather than starve when all the gas runs out, or free Internet everywhere that could enable a kid in the 'hood with limited resources to attend free classes at MIT online, and maybe figure out how to cure cancer.

Isn't it great? Have a nice day.

The Choice is Clearly Obama

Rolling Stone has an interview with Obama in recent hard-copy. I recommend you buy a copy. I think he's just what we need now. There's no comparison with McCain. Obama will be a better president than Bill Clinton was (Clinton had an irreverent streak that was quickly exploited by the stuffed shirts). Obama demonstrates more maturity and wisdom; thus he will provide more security than Kennedy did (Khrushchev sensed weakness in Kennedy and this prompted him to make his move in Cuba).

Obama will, with absolutely no doubt whatsoever, be better than ANY "Republican". The "Republican" party is wrongly named, because the "Republicans" don't want republic. They want Virtual Monarchy and Empire. That's not America. It's What America is a Revolution Against. That's why the Ron Paul movement is a false-revolution scam. Being Associated with the "Republican" party is about all the evidence you need, regarding that. They're just trying to mislead outraged people into throwing away their votes.

It follows that the VP candidate must be a stop-loss. Cheney was Bush's Stop-loss. Bush stayed in because the people feared Cheney. Thus, Obama should have a left-leaning VP whom the corruptionists would fear. This will keep Obama in. Obama's VP should be more to the left than Obama is. This rules out Hillary. She's to the Right of the Democratic Party, Kind of like Lieberman was. I sense that she has aspirations to be an Empress like Thatcher was. We don't need that HERE. She would thus present a loss risk in my opinion. (I keep getting this picture of Johnson glaring behind Kennedy, in the back of my mind.. but this is just top-o-me-head).

I would recommend John Edwards as VP. Or, Yes.. AL Gore.

Stupid War

To those shortsighted fools who think an illegal attack on the sovereign nation of Iran through our proxy Israel would be good for our economy, think again.

When you buy a bomb, those megabucks go up in smoke when it is deployed. You also commit a crime when you do it.

When you buy a solar-array, you make usable electricity that supports life and happiness (making a decent living, as the forefathers used the word).

We must use the effort, ingenuity and treasure that would be expended in a needless war, in a national campaign to transform our economy into one that uses wind and solar, with improved decentralized storage methodologies such as hydrogen fuel cells. You want something that can get things moving, this is it. Let's make things better.

The car can become our battery on wheels. The house and yard with solar panels can become the power plant

We are going to need a LOT of energy to deal with upcoming challenges. Clean Energy should be the focus of our policy and our market-motivators.

War is a Crime. Let's not premeditate it.

Sowing Distrust in Republic

Here's a scenario: a new investigation into 9-11 finds key individuals complicit. The Ron Paul Neoliberal lemmings latch onto it, screeching, "See, Government is the Problem" and off they go like a bunch of new Timothy McVeighs. The Republic collapses and we are left with no means whatsoever with which to protect ourselves from corporate exploitation. One might say that this could even be enough motivation for someone to plot something like 9-11. That said, take a minute and look at this:

Rolling Stone with Naomi Klein on China's US-Backed Police-State

We made laws to prevent companies from helping China oppress its people, after Tiananmen Square. All this is out the window.

Hats Off to Rolling Stone Magazine and Naomi Klein on this expose of US Complicity in the maintenance of a Chinese Police-State (and the importation of it to the US):

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/20797485/chinas_allseeing_eye

One chilling thing Naomi Klein points out is that the US already has more people in Jail than China does today, even though our population is much smaller than theirs.

Oppression is Un-american

I'm not talking about our butchery-laden history; I'm talking about the ideals that define the idea of "America", outlined in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. We don't need yet another law that violates the freedoms guaranteed all persons under the Constitution's Bill of Rights.

If there really IS a group out there who "Hate our Freedom", maybe they have ideas such as making laws that will strip our freedom from us.

Senate Moves Forward on Orwellian “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act”

May 19, 2008 on 12:15 am | In Uncategorized

by Tom Burghardt / May 15th, 2008

In the wake of Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) and Susan Collins’ (R-ME) alarmist report, “Violent Islamist Extremism, the Internet, and the Homegrown Terrorism Threat,” the Senate may be moving towards passage of the Orwellian “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007″ (S. 1959).

A companion piece of legislative flotsam to the House bill, “The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007″ (H.R. 1955), the Democrat-controlled Congress seems ready to jettison Constitutional guarantees of free speech and assembly. The bill passed the House by a 404-6 vote in October. Twenty-three congress members abstained, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers.Under cover of studying “violent radicalization,” both bills would broaden the already-fluid definition of “terrorism” to encompass political activity and protest by dissident groups, effectively criminalizing civil disobedience and non-violent direct action by developing policies for “prevention, disruption and mitigation.” . . . . click here to read the rest of the story.
