a 50-million-strong blow-job?

Or maybe if enough people blew in the opposite direction, the ruling class would sit up and take notice. Imagine if 50 million ''observers'' showed up at this convention:

GLOBAL movement, more grassrootz, more creative, more info

Inclusive versus exclusive, creative versus same old, same old ...

We are the change in the world we want to see!!

"I'm crazy, you're crazy, they're crazier .." Simeon Toko

One thing that has bothered me since the new "movement"'s inception is lack of GLOBAL focus - a movement is needed that is not so AMERICOCENTRIC, as that is part and parcel of the old meme.  This does not mean going in and finding some token front person.

 

Too much of the movement has been dedicated (and perhaps subconsciously) to handing over our power to organizations that are personality dominated. Hence it is easy to say that "leaders" are mic hogs or attention whores .. or whatever .. as the inevitable backlash comes back and then precious energy gets wasted propping up said leaders instead of broadening the base of support for our organizations.  I think it is HIGH time for some of the leaders to step away from the mic .. it's holding people BACK.  Instead, focus on creating new forms of media - OpEd News is certainly one of a new form of media, but we need radio stations, even a TV station beaming back REAL news from around the Globe, 24/7.

 

In organizing terms, the energy has gone towards building what is know as "technocracies" - groups rallied around so-called experts.  Ex CIA people, scholars (!!!), mothers of dead soldiers who devote full time attention to the "movement" has been The Movement's wont rather than focussing on grassroots methods of organizing that have been shown to work over time; these grasssrootz organizations cannot be shredded as easily.

 

To a certain extent, the reason we are so fond of OpEd News is that this nearly as close to a grassroots organization as has arisen .... but the CONTENT is AMERICOCENTRIC continually.  I know good hearted people who do nothing all day but read the Oh! Woe is me! opeds that crop up on the internet, never once pausing to read material being generating in a HOST of other countries. This is so totally imbalanced and impolitic these days.

 

The more global types of organizations have faltered and fallen in my opinion for at least two identifiable reasons.

 

First, they tend to be male dominated and women are regularly silenced or not taken seriously.  Whenever I get some points made in a group, OUT I GO so that Mr. "enlightened" liberal stays ON TOP. (and that is why I continue to love Rob Kall and will support what he does; I am GRATEFUL.  He is truly a GROWING individual.  He has a lot to teach the HACKS out there, who are legion.)

 

Two, they tend to be new agey and don't appeal to the main stream person who has other spiritual ideas. This is not ALWAYS the case, but then the exceptions tend to go back to the Americocentric model.

 

 We live in a world of TRANSNATIONALS, and a rapid concentration of capital "assets" ripped off indigneous peoples. These ripped off people's have PLENTY to say about fighting back and yet people tend to ignore what they have to show and teach us.

 

 The most excellent paper I have read during the last three years was written by Dr. Michael Yellowbird at the University of Kansas, a discussion paper to say native peoples should cease and desist from fighting in wars.  I managed through a network to get this paper disseminated in Australia and New Zealand to every single major aborinal communities, WARRIOR communities as well as get it into the hands of every Parliamentarian in OZ and NZ.  At the time I did, I wondered would anyone else do that?  Make sure it didn't stay with America's shores?

 

Our organizations stay only as healthy as WE ourselves focus on true service, service undertaken for the good of ALL so we can rise above pettiness and status considerations, which I see just rife in the groups I am in or have left.

 

Anyone who reads OpEd News for a period of time knows that I push the use of art and creativity continually. That's what WE have and the choke hold of the fascists lacks.  That's why we waste our efforts on things like debating Hilary Clinton's campaign, choosing between the lesser of evils!! (I don't, but other people who claim to be Ghadhi-ites do ..)  We COULD be out there doing one little creative act a day, with dedication, until it just all mounts up -- that's what American Indian Injustice group does!  And it WORKS.  There are 700 individuals who get involved when an active alert is sounded.

 

IMHO, we must reach out higher and FURTHER .. and include every brother and sister in our organizations.  I am on one news group made up of Canada, US and Ontario citizens and I love the discussions because there is way more depth to them.  The Canadian and UK contingents are more diverse (and I've asked at least one of them to come to OpEd and post his fantastic views, to share his unique insights.)

 

For myself, the one single unifying issue is the use of low level radiation issue. It affects us ALL.  The information on its effects is being SUPRESSED!!  Last year the Low Level Radiation campaign released a minority report from a major study that is totally SHOCKING!! without this information NO ONE NO WHERE is operating from an informed position.

 

So I put together a long (but not THAT long) chain letter and asked people to circulate it an important document to show others.  One friend of mine put together important youtube videos on aspects of low level radiation that are MUST SEE and included them in my posting.  Anyone reading this I implore you to take this information and put it in other people's hands!!  Read it and have your feelings and get to work!! by then passing it on in anyway you can.  Here's a postcard Eileen Danemann put out.

 

 I am personally hacking away every day on my blog which has a GLOBAL focus, and I also am building a website for earthlings anonymous.  I live on disability and running a yahoo research group, doing my blog, writing for OpEd News (although I did some posts in New Zealand this year on interventionISM and recovery from trauma) and getting enough people together to start an INTERNATIONAL website is all I can personally do.  But it is what I do ...

 

My blog has over 1400 items devoted to planetary healing we are ALL suffering PTSD and TRAUMA.  I cannot run the large a list of tags, so it must be accessed by putting topics in the blog search box - I direct my 5th chakra energies (100%!) into a daily effort and I Invite people to use at a resource continually - it gets read by right wingers constantly and I am aware of that and write accordingly.  Spy agencies, foreign governments, the military - they ALL read it!  But the progressives? Forget it! They don't want to re-educate themselves yet seems to me, because it takes finding what we all have in common, rather than focussing on our differences and getting with a DAILY Program of Recovery ... we've all been done in by counterintel pro, psyops,agitprop ... The focus must move to RECOVERY !!

 

My blog is my attempt to create a HUGE POSTER for recovery .. and I still have another 3000 items to put on it!!  The problem is, as it is for many  thinking outside "the box" is I don't have resources to take things ever further and get some HELP!  I think I have a plan .. 

 

I set up a google group to start a beehive of dialogue on the use of art to catapault the use of OUR propoganda. I announced it here at OpEd News.  No one came!  No one.  I can say that I am "wrong" or I can say the time was NOT right, or . but  I still think that massive GLOBAL art demos are the wave of the future . ones that bypass appealing to a deaf, insane, bought off, over lobbied CONGress.  Target dates to do mass GLOBAL mails into DC are possible; days to make noise everywhere on the planet can be set.  The old methods are truly the best - shout, scream, make noise, the things man did before Big Pharma and the deliberate creation of dysfunction and diseases ...

 

Our PRESENCE must be felt and the best way to do this is to be totally present each and every single day, beaming our intentions and then DOING what we must do. But it AIN'T gonna change by creating a network of only "this" woman should be listened to, or only "That" guy has credentials to know what he is talking about ... and we must start paying attention to what indigenous people trying to leader us to .. a more fair society for ALL.

 

Here's a link to inspiration from  Evo Morales ...

 

Now if we could just truly start thinking of ourselves as EARTHLNGS, living in a Milleium of the Living, we wouldn't be so easy to divide and conquer, although we must bear in mind the only way to achieve human rights/social justice is through national sovereigny . and the FASCISTS truly do want to take that away. Join up and start working against the North American Alliance (NAU ), right now referred to as the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP ).  They"'ll keep changing the letters as it suits them ...   In North America the front lines are at Lake Sharbot and  in Nevada .... and I hope at least ONE PERSON will read this, decide to sign up and help people stand the ground of sanity.

Consider -

More recently, Douglas Valentine, author of THE
PHOENIX PROGRAM (CIA torture and assassination
program in Vietnam), explained on Radio Liberty
on October 18, 2006:

"Democracy has been hijacked
from us. It's been hijacked by these
very powerful industrialists for whom
the CIA really works. They don't work for you.
They don't work for me. They don't work for the
middle class. They don't work for the lower class.
They work for a very elite group of Americans who
control the wealth in this country. And their job is,
through whatever means possible...
to preserve the priviliges of this ruling
one or two or three percent of the
industrialists in this country.
And, frankly, they do a very, very, very good job of it.

and this is from my first OpEd News piece:

The Information Age has been a useful tool for the gathering of the female tribes. Fed up with "finding themselves", women want to find a way to help others and themselves. Life has suddenly taken on new meaning and purpose. We no longer move down the streets in isolation. There is no "glass ceiling" in the streets. We are all equal. All voices are heard. All banners are read and celebrated. We can vote with our feet to say that "Enough is enough." And we know the angels are at our side. We move fearless and forward to a day when we wake up unafraid.

"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages."
- Thomas Edison -
