U.S. Facing Global Diplomatic Crisis Following Massive WikiLeaks Release of Secret Diplomatic Cables

The Latest Outrage

As the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize travels throughout Asia selling large quantities of weaponry and invoking the memory of Mahatma Gandhi in his speeches, I am reminded of Malcolm X's distinction between the "field negro" and the "house negro."

Barack Obama is clearly in "da house."

His betrayal of people of conscience could not possibly be more complete.

And he appears to have no shame whatsoever.

Such is the latest outrage; the monstrous evil we face.

A charismatic tool recruited from the under-class to divide people of conscience and good will from one another. Divide and conquer.

The militarist juggernaut moves forward, all cylinders pumping.

Full speed ahead.

And Obama, the "blessed peacemaker," at the wheel.

Malcolm Gladwell has done his homework. Real change will have to come the old-fashioned way: by means of the general strike.

Once Again...

the American electorate has returned to the polls to re-arrange the deck-chairs on the Titanic.

It would be hilarious if it weren't so tragic.

The revolution will not be televised--or tweeted, for that matter.

And it certainly will not come through the ballot box.

Resist. Refuse. Renounce.

It's the system, stupid.

Take the red pill and subvert the Matrix!

The only place where authentic change is possible in these Orwellian States of Amnesia is the street.

History has clearly shown that the general strike is the only effective weapon in the people's arsenal.

If you want authentic change, you must demand an end to the tyranny of Democan-Republicrat hegemony.

And, no, the Tea Party movement offers no hope in that direction.

In the immortal words of Diogenes of Sinope, "Deface the currency!"

We must scrap the existing system and start anew.

The three virtues of the revolutionaries we need are: imagination, magnanimity, and courage.

Begin by forming mutual aid societies. Go off the grid. Find ways to reduce your Federal taxable income--if you actually make enough to pay taxes to the Feds. Starve the military industrial complex in any way you can.

Friends don't let friends join the military.

Become skilled in the use of the weapons of the weak.

Organize your life in such a way as to make palpable, in all of your relations with your fellow human beings, the Invisible Whitmanian Republic.
