Ever since I viewed “Network” on netflix last week I’ve wanted to get Paddy Chayefsky’s screenplay and copy parts of it to this website. As more and more of us 99%’ers now realize, that 1976 flick mirrors today’s world, and “We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take this anymore.” (See film excerpt, […]
Read MoreGigantic paw and tiny hand hold Blake’s “fearful symmetry. . . .” Found on facebook. Has been viewed thousands of times. And no wonder. This is the remarkable moment when a tiger bowed its head and placed a paw up to the hand of a small girl. Photographer Dyrk Daniels noticed the 370lb […]
Read More“This isn’t junk mail. This is an opportunity for a dialogue. Keep wall street occupied! “For banks to react to us, they’re going to have to have meetings, and procedures. Every hour they spend reacting to us is an hour that they don’t spend foreclosing houses . . . “If you can’t occupy wall street, […]
Read MoreOWS events are moving so thick and fast that I’m going to give three more here on the run from today and yesterday: Keith Olbermann’s interview with one of the vets who marched yesterday with OWS in New York, the reported arrests of Chris Hedges and others at the Goldman Sachs march in New York […]
Read MoreIt’s hard to know what happened to the peaceful protest and march of the day that had cheerfully brought most of Oakland and the Oakland port to a halt. But here’s an excerpt from one version. BTW: I tend to think that the “black clad anarchists” with “kerchiefs covering their faces” were likely government provocateurs, […]
Read MoreYesterday, on a day filled with of news (olds) of renewed sabre-rattling threats from Israel (and the U.S. and Britain) re: possible (nuke) strikes on Iran nuclear facilities, late in the afternoon I also noticed that once again, another attempt in that familiar David/Goliath scenario in the puss-filled, suffering land that is the Mideast was […]
Read MoreFor these scattered OWS artifacts, I thank various friends and acquaintances on facebook, occupytogether, motherjones, alternet, press.tv, and my dear friend Rhonda. First and foremost, we know something has gone off, way off. We’ve been “obedient” way too long. And while we learned from Martin Luther King and Gandhi and Howard Zinn that only non-violence […]
Read MorePlenty of “firsts” in that date, 11.1.11 . . . Is this real? Sure looks like it. Wonder what the analysts will have to say. Thanks to Joan. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwBokDP7t-A&feature=email]
Read More“Last night Boulder became the second city in the nation to pass a ballot measure calling for an amendment to the US Constitution that would state that corporations are not people and the legal status of money as free speech. At midnight, with 93% of the ballots counted, the measure was handily winning with 74% […]
Read MoreWhen my husband Jeff died, in early January, 2003, I wrote a eulogy for him that was published in the Jackson Hole News, where he had joined me for his final twelve years. The newspaper gave it the title, “Jeff Joel, 55, healed on interdimensional planes.” (I republished this eulogy as a chapter in “This […]
Read MoreI find it fascinating that Greece, the birthplace of democracy, will now put the European bankster “deal” to a vote. NOT what the U.S. did in 2008. As this article says, we “weren’t consulted. It was an inside job.” At every level, “home rule” butts heads with so-called “higher authority.” Re-localize. Reverse most (all?) decision-making […]
Read MoreDavid Wilcock interviewed Ben Fulford again on October 13, 2011, and posted it on divinecosmos.com October 31st. For that interview, go here (it’s very long). I posted the interview he did with Fulford in September. Go here for that one (also very long) and many subsequent stories that seem to confirm aspects of what Fulford […]
Read MoreThe “slaves” are smarter than the “masters.” They’ve got to be: quick, nimble, adapting to changing conditions. This is guerilla action: each time something is taken away, the movement deepens, differentiates, expands — and demonstrates, once again, authentic groundswell democracy in action. I just donated to help them get $11,000 to power eight bikes, the […]
Read MoreUpdate, just in: Check this out! Oakland police identify with the 99%! What will happen tomorrow, Strike Day? Ever since Vietnam War Vets protecting protestors were beaten by police during a pre-dawn raid and mass arrest in Boston on October 11, and again two weeks later, when Oakland police nearly killed an Iraq War Vet […]
Read MoreI tried, and failed, to stop reading this piece. Astonishing. Thanks to truthdig.com. The Monster Mr. Fish 11/1/2011 By Mr. Fish I stopped believing in monsters on Thanksgiving Day in 1976, when my stepfather came downstairs for dinner wearing black dress pants, a white collared shirt, a pair of freshly polished black leather shoes and […]
Read MoreOn return from my retreat, I kept seeing little snippets about this brilliant idea. Now there’s a URL which takes you to a facebook page with 3545 “likes” so far. Check out the cartoons! And check out Max Keiser on RT: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15jiCBrg-I0&feature=player_embedded]
Read MoreHere’s the first page of a wonderful paean from a ’60s protest elder to the occupiers now, and the territories they are liberating, both in the streets, and in the national and global psyche. Only six weeks old, and already the world is changed. We old ones are so grateful. Thanks to tomdispatch.com. OWW At […]
