“. . . that we suffer, that we’re imperfect . . .” [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLDQ0HbhrzY]
Read MoreImmediate and strong disclaimer: I don’t mean to say or imply or insinuate that everybody who Occupies is stoned. The extraordinary young men and women who are inspiring this demonstration of and call for real, authentic democracy may not even need to get stoned the way we did back then. But I do find it […]
Read MoreIn this video, Tucker, who looks very young and innocent and soulful, talks about the U.S. “leaving” Iraq (joke joke) and the mushrooming, hydra-headed, too big to fail or jail National Security State inside which black ops career bureaucrats inertial energy vastly outstrips so-called presidential “power.” As he says, who controls the predator drones? Certainly […]

Read MoreMy dog Shadow and I stopped by the Occupy Bloomington encampment this morning and saw that they are now prepared for the rain which drenched central Indiana the past few days. (Unfortunately, no camera with me.) I noticed even more sleeping tents than before. And rather than tarps for their kitchen and library and other […]
Read MoreMy son Colin just informed me that Bank of America and JP Morgan have both just transferred their trillions of private debt to the public. I don’t pretend to understand the details. For more, see thedailybail. It may be that the final moves in the end game of predatory, shock doctrine capitalism are now being […]
Read MoreSome young people sell their souls to the military for its bribe of college benefits later. Others take three jobs, go part time to school, care for their young children, and get grants and loans to finance the whole thing. Some squander student loan money, assuming that they’ll get married and their spouses will make […]
Read MoreSpeaking about occupying our own edges, how about the idea of occupying ourselves fully, for one day, shutting out all electronic and other distractions, and see what happens. I saw two articles on this just yesterday; one of them, Eric Stoner, looked at the Greeks who are right now shutting their country down for 48 […]
Read MoreMy little Shadow knows how to “work the edges,” dynamic intersections between different organic forms where species, both plant and animal interact, sometimes creating an eco-niche of their own. Think, for example, of the bushy areas that border fields and woods, and draw in different insects and birds and animals. Ecologists call this “the edge […]
Read MoreInvisible to all but those who benefit, the tendrils of the so-called “National Security Complex” suck up the blood and treasure of ordinary people (and earth, and water, and air, and flora and fauna) here in order to kill, maim, or capture and torture ordinary people (and earth, and water, and air, and flora and […]
Read MoreThanks to thenation.org. Occupy Wall Street: The Beginning is Here October 19, 2011 by Jonathan Schell Nothing is more striking about the Occupy Wall Street movement, which in a political instant has swept through not only the United States but the world, than its origin. It seemed to come out of nowhere, like a virgin […]
Read MoreMy son Colin pointed me to this new site a couple of days ago, suggesting that I publish its list of names on the exopermaculture site, together with their banks. I considered doing it, but then “it slipped my mind.” I just now noticed that, actually, I felt squeamish about being an accomplice in making […]
Read MoreRemember the Virginia and Colorado earthquakes? The ones that occurred within hours of each other just before the big hurricane that shoved up the East Coast and caused massive flooding in New England? When was that? Geez, eons ago. — Oops, not! I started posting on it September 16, slightly over one month ago! (I […]
Read MoreDon’t let the author’s title to this piece scare you off. This is not a Dooms’ Day piece. Far from it. I’m glad that he’s brought this to my attention, that the Progressed Ascendant for the U.S.A. birthchart now moves from Leo into Virgo. This is significant, indeed, huge. Whether the shift took place now, […]
Read MoreFrom my notes to this video by philosopher, environmentalist and eco-feminist Vandana Shiva, her language potent and elemental: No society can carry on if people cannot even eat. This is going to be a social volcano. You cannot have a 100 trillionaires in the world mopping up the wealth of the world by the tricks […]
Read MoreUpdate: I thought it would be obvious that this is satire. Apparently not. See comment below. What strikes me is that this is the kind of language banksters would use to “frame” (in both senses of that word) whatever they wanted to gobble. If you’re still not sure, check the Borowitz Report. Whee! Thanks to […]
Read MoreJust in from my sister, Mary. Come on. Slow down. Step off your very fast track for a few minutes. Copenhagen Train Station. Copenhagen Philharmonic. Ravel’s Bolero. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mrEk06XXaAw]
Read MoreThis article blew me away. Like a lot of people, I was under the illusion that one of the underlying causes of poverty, war, and pollution etc. — hell, the major underlying cause of human suffering — was humanity’s rapidly expanding population. And that, of course, since it’s such a big deal, it is taboo […]
