"When
I despair, I remember that all
through history the way of truth and
love has always won. There have been
tyrants and murderers and for a time
they seem invincible but in the end,
they always fall -- think of it,
ALWAYS."
-- Mahatma Gandhi

No
more fathers weeping behind hidden
hands
No more glory for the sake of secret
agendas
No more giving soul to an empire of
false profits
No more whimpering simpering
cowering conceding
No more going to hell quietly under
guard of night
No
more false hopes and dreams cramped
down by fear
No more madness hatching from
pickled brains of boys
No more bruises kept under clothes
from the wide world
No more whispers of revolution
hushed by established order
No more business as usual on the
graves of dashed heroes
No
more poisons squeezed within walls
of hardened hearts
No more squirming pestilence passed
by wicked old men
No more war and while we're at it no
more banking on bombs
No more enforcement of memories of
death honing weapons
No more saluting flags or symbols
for the cause of whatever
No
more stupidity in the sense of
stooges begging a clue
No more no more no more as the old
black Raven quivvers
"Never more, I Implore! living lame
on half a lobe"
Children chant "Opening eyes to
tomorrow's fire...
Holding to heart the worth of our
world" from rooftops
It
was the last days of Empire, and all
the clocks had been smashed.
Citizens and agrarians alike
trampled down the barbed-wire and
set out their solar-powered
networks. All the lying, corrupted,
murderous warlords and their
thugmasters have been exposed for
all the world to witness, on rotten
stacks of skeletons numbering in the
millions.
You
"masters of war" with your missiles,
militaries, prison camps, death
machinery, spying eyes in the sky--
your days are done. You are a
pestilent infection on the human
body; you are putrifying old
propaganda and superman myths; your
creeping death-programming and
torturous methods are withering now
into scars on our reawakened
humanity.
From
the war profiteering Bush and CIA
assassins who seized the USA under
Reagan, to the Orwellian military
fetishists in North Korea and Burma,
to the brutalizing theocrats
murdering their own people in Iran
and in the terror-plagued mountains
of Asia, as well as the poisonous
proxy-players and arms merchants of
Russia, ruled by KGB and criminal
organizations, while the Red Army
continues to round up anyone who
dares to challenge "state sanctioned
reality." All of you guys. Suffering
from testosterone poisoning and
delusions of dominance. Your plugs
are being pulled, like permanently.
Hear
ye, hear ye, you the "Supreme
Councils" and Parliaments,
Presidencies, Congresses, dictators,
warlords, Popes and Ayatollahs,
Generals and Admirals, are hereby
required to appear before your
victims and imprisoned populations
to apologize and immediately allow
for a CULTURAL REVOLUTION. You will
find your children will no longer
obey your lies and threats, your
faces will no longer hide your
shame, your souls will be bared
before the eyes of the world. A new
human mental sphere is surrounding
you now, you have no place left to
hide, your prisons are overflowing.
It is legally and morally incumbent
upon those who claim power to allow
for all evidence of the past century
of warcrimes be heard before the
councils of the world.
We
will Twitter you down. We'll hack
your core reality. Text by text,
library by library, hardrive to
hardrive, our millions of blazing
minds outwiegh your petty
"authority" millions to one, you
see? It no longer serves humanity to
rule by terror, torture and murder--
in fact these crimes must be halted,
your debt must be charged.
Hereafter, the rulers and media
moguls are being measured in
minutely documented increments. What
is it that Kim Jong Il or other
"Supreme Leaders" believe they are
getting away with, what is their
demand of the world as a whole. Like
a hostage situation, their guns and
missiles are now aimed at all of our
heads.
Take
notice: this is not only a global
cultural revolution, a liberation of
women, an uprising of awakened minds
and blazing hearts-- it is an
evolutionary leap into collective
consciousness. Now where will you
hide from that? Already we have you
surrounded. Come out with your hands
on your head.

Power,
like a desolating pestilence,
Pollutes whate'er it touches; and
obedience,
Bane of all genius, virtue, freedom,
truth,
Makes slaves of men, and, of the
human frame,
A mechanized automaton.

MoveOn Joins with Avaaz to
Support Iranian Resistors
The Iranian
people's courage in the face of
brutal repression has been
inspiring.
But the
situation is getting worse. The
Iranian regime has begun a violent
crackdown against the protesters—including
hundreds of arrests and a number of
deaths.
Now, it's
crucial that the Iranian regime
knows that the world is watching
and that they must stop their
violent repression of peaceful
dissent.
So our friends
at Avaaz—a global MoveOn-type
organization—have asked people all
over the world to stand with the
Iranian protesters. Avaaz is
aiming for 1 million signatures
worldwide and is going to
deliver this message of solidarity
to other governments, concentrating
on the countries with the most
influence over Iran's regime. Can
you add your name?

A clear message
from people all over the world can
help put pressure on the Iranian
regime to stop the violence. Other
Muslim countries in the region and
key trading partners like China and
Turkey have been mostly silent since
the election, but a worldwide
outpouring of support can convince
them to take action.
Involvement by
the American government could be
used by the Iranian regime as an
excuse to crack down further. But if
we, as individuals, join with folks
around the world, we can help create
a global outcry. The petition will
be delivered directly to the
Organisation of the Islamic
Conference, the Non-Aligned
Movement, the E.U., and the U.N. to
show them that the world wants them
to act.
Iranians have shown that regular
people, using new technologies like
Twitter and Facebook, can have a
profound impact on world affairs. As
they face enormous danger to stand
up for democracy and freedom of
speech, we should stand with them.
Can you add your voice to the chorus
of people calling for an end to the
violence?

Thanks for all
you do.

P.S. To show
your support for the Iranian people,
you can also print out this sign and
put it in your window.
