One can even consider that giving King a public holiday in his name, once assassinated and unable to speak out no more, has had the effect of getting the memory of Dr. King off and out of the streets he once marched in, and 'pushing his memory upstairs', allowing the very same establishment King died fighting against to claim King as a compliant American hero of its very own value system.

The Risk Averse Alert is Power to Prosper

"Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'

"And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'"

-- Matthew 7:22-23

Protest we must...

Who else would love to see black NFL players and coaches belonging to both teams in the Super Bowl, remain outside the University of Phoenix stadium on game day, and refuse to play until 50 million comments, all saying "Amen," follow this powerful, thought-provoking article?

Then, might we finally move against the treasonous, Fascist-diseased, well-healed souls (and all their witting dupes) who dare call themselves American ... starting with Felix Rohatyn, George Shultz, Arnold Schwartzenager, Michael Bloomberg, and all the fleas who do business on Wall Street.

The power of change lies in resuscitating the U.S. Constitution, removing private finance -- the masters of death and every ruse made for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of all too many -- and returning credit creation, and its allocation, back to where there's at least some hope for a greater measure of accountability: the U.S. Treasury.

Because money talks and bullshit walks ... and the U.S. Constitution lends power for making money talk with dignity for The People.

Thus, does Congressman Dennis Kucinich present The People HR 3400 -- the Rebuilding America's Infrastructure Act -- and its finance arm, the Federal Bank of Infrastructure Modernization, to be run by the U.S. Treasury.

It's really no strange coincidence the Congressional Black Caucus scores Kucinich 100% on the CBC Monitor's report card.

Make room Dr. King! Should America ever rediscover its soul, its next martyr might be on the way, because Wall Street and its pimps in London, Paris and Amsterdam forever loathe the man who wisely preaches peace and courageously admonishes hypocricy...

MLK's speech against war/imperialism/hypocracy

Like most Americans, I'd always considered Dr. King's "I have a dream" speech his most eloquent expression of true American values. I must admit I'd never heard this work, but it is lucid, inspired, even monumental in the best tradition of Mark Twain's War Prayer which is another lurid look at what America's military-industrial complex is raining down upon those with whom we disagree. When will we wake up to Pres. Eisenhower's warning, revoke the legality that corporations are individuals and reinstitute a truly constitutional, compassionate America that lives up to the Founding Fathers ideals?
