[For many it is difficult to accept the truth about the events of September 11th without seeing the context of an unavoidable global crisis that cannot be postponed or evaded. The myth of perpetual American prosperity is destroyed by this layman-friendly analysis of the global oil picture and the hard choices facing the planet. Enron employees are only adding to a list of innocent American victims that is going to increase rapidly. There are solutions, however, that do not necessitate support for the global dictatorship that is rapidly falling upon us all. Many thanks to Dale Allen Pfeiffer for this cogent and ominous analysis. - MCR]
"The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is apt to spread discontent among those who are." -H.L. Mencken

"Let Freedom Reign"
"Let Freedom Reign"
Originally uploaded by Spetsnaz.
One cringes at the hypocrisy bleeding out of this remark. George Bush at his most eloquent, yet the phrase is actually "Let Freedom Ring". Of course he's the most powerful man in the world so who would be mad enough to get in his way? Certainly those 100,000 estimated dead Iraqi men, women, and children learned their lesson.
Here's an article about how the U.S. wants to make it a crime for Iraqi farmers to grow their own seed crops, in a glutenous attempt to monopolize agriculture. Check it Out

“On a black and white canvas that depicts ancient tragedy, Picasso also writes our letter of doom; all that we love is going to be lost, and that is why it is necessary that we gather up all that we love, like the emotion of great farewells, in something of unforgettable beauty.” -Michel Leiris

Perfectly Insane
The world is perfectly insane. Look around you, inhale the world for what it is, because it will never make sense.
With this knowledge handy, I struggle with the paradox of letting go of reality, and making due with what it has given me. Alas, we are all bore, unwilling participants, into a game which cannot be won, only played. To win is to survive, and that is against the rules of nature.
Therefore, adherence to reality is insanity. Revel in the world's perfect insanity. Thoughts of coarse nature with blatant ill regard for all things alive are intrinsic in all who share in this life.
We are an embryo now. With the aid of God, the creator of insanity, we shall find a better understanding of ourselves, and perhaps grow into something that can be heard.

Rest in Peace John F. Kennedy
This is an excerpt from the speech that was prepared for delivery at the Trade Mart in Dallas on November 22, 1963. The President was murdered before he had a chance to give this speech. For the record, I deeply believe this was an act brought on by the interests who saw a heighten involvement in Vietnam as advantageous to their fiscal well being.
"My friends and fellow citizens: I cite these facts and figures to make it clear that America today is stronger than ever before. Our adversaries have not abandoned their ambitions, our dangers have not diminished, our vigilance cannot be relaxed. But now we have the military, the scientific, and the economic strength to do whatever must be done for the preservation and promotion of freedom. That strength will never be used in pursuit of aggressive ambitions--it will always be used in pursuit of peace. It will never be used to promote provocations--it will always be used to promote the peaceful settlement of disputes."

A Sad Day For Humanity
Fortune was not on the side of humanity today as George W. Bush and the neo-cons scored another 4 years in the highest office of the land. What have we learned about America?
Apparently there are more sister fucking yokels that are concerned with "God, Guns and Gays", than there are people who critically think and rationally approach problems.
This election makes our calling clear. More drastic measures must be taken to resist the tyrannical ploys of our government.
War corporatism must be resisted, tyranny must be rejected. The long road of reality lies before us. The Revolution has been ignited.

The Puppet Speaks
Bin laden has released a new video addressing the American people, 4 days before the Presidential election. Im still struggling over this one, could my worst fears be confirmed?
Is the lust for power and control great enough to cause men to give up any shred of morality and integrity? More importantly the question that is corrosive to my soul: Is our government willing to murder its own citizens in order to achieve its political ends?
These thoughts have been circulating on the tip of my conscious for sometime now. I fear for future generations and the world they will inherit. It appears they will be given a world in which human life has no worth, and greed takes precedent over morality.
Eisenhower saw it coming when in his farewell address he said, "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.
The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.". This has happened, and Iraq like Vietnam, is the manifestation of this insatiable thirst for greed.
These elections are a mockery of democracy. Each candidate offers more unconditional war, bad for the victims of its indifference for human life(100,000+ Iraqi's murdered), good for those who stand to profit.
My optimism in the future is subdued by an overwhelming feeling of cynicism for those whose grasp power no matter the cost. Its up to the next generation of policy makers to change the course of humanity. If they fail, mankind will soon follow suit.
