“…in really scary societies all public conversation is an exercise in using words to mean their opposites — in describing the brave as traitorous, the weak as frightening, and the good as bad — and confronting these lies is the most scary and lonely thing a person can do.”
The 1980s were a time of very active American military intervention around the world.
Large corporations do not pay sales taxes, property taxes, payroll taxes, Social Security or Unemployment. Everyday working people and consumers pay all of these taxes.
In America, militarized police have been given permission to murder at will and leaders export terror, munitions and unprovoked wars of aggression abroad. This violence trickles down into our schools.
If we invest in alternative energy, we can establish colonies on the moon and explore the stars.
“…the whole world is sinking and we’re not goin’ down slow. It’s way past time to organize, resist, stand up and fight back.”
“A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past,” Fidel once memorably said. Though the man has died, the ideas for which he struggled and to which he dedicated his life will undoubtedly live on, not just in Cuba but anywhere imperialism and the exploitation of the weak by the strong is a fact of life.”

This assault on native American tribes is illegal, immoral and an abomination. This is not who we are. Resist!
Election year nonsense can be very painful.
“… before 2030 we will be in full retreat while rising seas flood nuclear reactors and our coastal cities.”
We cannot continue spending trillions killing millions for billionaires in pursuit of empire.
“Bernie Sanders said very clearly in the debates with Clinton (and in public statements) that he intends to continue Obama’s 25 wars of choice against smaller and less powerful nations who did not attack us.”
“At home, militarized police departments allow officers to kill unarmed citizens at will with zero accountability. And our leaders export aggression overseas with illegal drones known to kill an average of 50 innocents per strike.”
We make a difference. . We must find the courage to resist. We are under attack and it’s time we stand up and fight back. . http://www.jill2016.com/plan
American foreign policy under Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, when considered by the non-partisan observer, has a sense of continuity – and escalating and expanding aggressiveness.
“Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton… have endorsed, encouraged, enabled and funded unnecessary wars and avoidable profiteering for the corporate elite.”
The truth is powerful.
All current American conflicts (including the West Bank and Gaza) … involve CIA destabilization, attacks, bombings, invasions and/or occupations for exploitation, extraction and extortion.
The United States sells munitions to both sides of conflicts we create and sustain.
It’s not pretty.
For 36 years we have attacked smaller and less powerful nations who have not attacked us. We have murdered millions and delivered death, destruction and disaster. But mainstream American media tells us wars-for-profit are here to stay
“Reality denied comes back to haunt.”

“We have become the aggressor: exporting terror, munitions and wars in attacks on smaller and less powerful nations.”
“…we are now fighting 27 simultaneous wars… selling unending wars for profit, has bankrupted the nation.”
