#occupywallstreet: "Tear down this Wall" synthesizes the meanings of two historical moments

Mr. Fish has another cartoon. Thanks to truthdig.org. This iconic poster fuses the symbolism of two remarkable moments in human history. Here they are, with their astrological correlates: First, the poster recalls the iconic fist that a student friend of mine created for a teeshirt in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1967 during the student uprising there.

Thanks to boston.com and Krishnadas. [Sorry for narrowed formatting.] There are many forms of protest, many ways to express an objection to particular events, situations, policies, and even people. Protests can also take many forms – from individual statements to mass demonstrations – both peaceful and violent. In the last 30 days, there have been […]

Where do the homeless live in our towns? One possible short-term solution in Seattle

There was a frail old man in my town a few years ago who hosted homeless people in tents in his back yard. As the numbers grew, it was increasingly difficult for him to handle security, given that some homeless people are drug and alcohol addicted. As you can imagine, his neighbors were not happy. […]

Occupy Wall Street, Day 14: "When approached as individuals, members of the NYPD have expressed solidarity with our cause."

I find the language and tone of daily communiques from the occupywallst.org website increasingly subtle, sophisticated, and worth paying close attention to. Such refined, ethical use of language helps immensely to coalesce what I experience as the Field of Love, an atmosphere of peace, acceptance, and harmony. The remarks on the NYPD are interesting in […]

Occupy Wall Street, Day 13: "Democracy may be hard, but at least we are doing it."

Huffpost columnist Alexander Eichler gives today’s overview. Notice how the MSM (and I include huffpost in that category, once Arianna sold it to yahoo), is beginning to give more and more press, and even a kind of mumbling respect and credence to this rag-tag, genuine, organic, evolving, increasingly complex and effective democracy being born on […]

Jane Goodall (Good for All), finds hope in the very young people from whom we've stolen. "If the young people lose hope, then there is no hope."

From thisonewildlife.com. Thanks to Paul. Jane Goodall Speaks to America, to Me September 28th, 2011 by Kim Clune On a balmy Tuesday evening with hot, buttered popcorn in hand, my husband and I took our seats in the dim light of the movie theater.

A Compilation of New UFO Footage

To me, one of the most compelling arguments for the benevolence of (at least most of) the extraterrestrial visitors is their constant and longstanding monitoring (and cleaning up?) of our nuclear and other environmental degradations.

This latest arrest of suspected "terrorist": false flag fear porn?

I’m having trouble taking this story seriously. Feels like false flag fear porn to me, done on the cheap. Now that the sheeple are thoroughly conditioned, there’s no need to create weird holographic effects of destruction, or detonate buildings, or send anthrax through the mail, or assassinate; instead just talk about arresting a suspected Pentagon […]

Lisa Marie: We choose, in the NOW, to make real one among multiple "timelines"

I really appreciate the language that Lisa Renee uses and at times, invents, to describe what she shares with “Starseeds and Indigos.” I don’t know if she was the one who invented the phrase “timeline,” but it really helps me to think of multiple agendas in terms of an infinity of ribbons of cause and […]
