Don't watch T.V. If I do its South Park, Family Guy, History and Science channel. Everyone loves Raymond. But like I said, I never watch T.V. In fact I really hate T.V.
There are no boundaries in this struggle to the death. We cannot be indifferent to what happens anywhere in the world, for a victory by any country over imperialism is our victory; just as any country's defeat is a defeat for all of us. - Ernesto Che Guevara
We must bear in mind that imperialism is a world system, the last stage of capitalism-and it must be defeated in a world confrontation. The strategic end of this struggle should be the destruction of imperialism. Our share, the responsibility of the exploited and underdeveloped of the world, is to eliminate the foundations of imperialism: our oppressed nations, from where they extract capital, raw materials, technicians, and cheap labor, and to which they export new capital-instruments of domination-arms and all kinds of articles, thus submerging us in an absolute dependence.
- Ernesto Che Guevara
“Naturally the common people don’t want war. But after all, it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it’s always a
simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy or a
fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every
country.”
--- Hermann Goering, Hitler’s Reich Marshall, at the Nuremberg
Trials after World War II.
"Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube. This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation; this tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers; this tube is the most awesome goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people..."
-- Howard Beale, Network, 1976
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children . . . Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."
- Dwight D Eisenhower, from "The Chance for Peace" address delivered before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, April 16, 1953
“Where are these people supposed to go? This is a peaceful movement but if you're non-violent, nobody listens to you.”
- Arundhati Roy quote
Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media.
- Noam Chomsky
Everybody's worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there's a really easy way: stop participating in it.
- Noam Chomsky
If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.
- Noam Chomsky
Resistance is feasible even for those who are not heroes by nature, and it is an obligation, I believe, for those who fear the consequences and detest the reality of the attempt to impose American hegemony.
- Noam Chomsky
A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
A riot is at bottom the language of the unheard.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
We who in engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.
- Gandhi
An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.
- Gandhi
Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.
- Napoleon Bonaparte
Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.
- Napoleon Bonaparte
“The aim is to listen and learn about the struggles, the resistance and rebel movements, support them and bind them together to build a national anti-capitalist, leftist program.”
- Subcomandante Marcos
“We hold a dialogue to find a peaceful solution to the conflict. That's why we hold a dialogue.”
- Subcomandante Marcos
All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.
- Thomas Jefferson
Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.
- Thomas Jefferson
..
Every generation needs a new revolution.
- Thomas Jefferson
Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
- Thomas Jefferson
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.
- Thomas Jefferson
I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.
- Thomas Jefferson
Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence.
- Thomas Jefferson
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
- Thomas Jefferson
That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.
- Thomas Jefferson
The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.
- Thomas Jefferson
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.
- Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
- Thomas Jefferson
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
- Thomas Jefferson
Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.
- Thomas Jefferson

Why do people risk arrest in their resistance to war? Perhaps Daniel Berrigan, on trial for resistance to the Vietnam War, said it best:
"The time is past when good people may be silent
when obedience
can segregate us from public risk
when the poor can die without defense.
How many indeed must die
before our voices are heard
how many must be tortured dislocated
starved maddened?
How long must the world(s resources
be raped in the service of legalized murder?
When at what point will you say no to this war?
We have chosen to say
with the gift of our liberty
if necessary our lives:
the violence stops here.
The death stops here.
The suppression of truth stops here.
This war stops here."
Though war resistance activities and arrests have not stopped the war in Iraq, those struggling for peace remain committed. "None of us know what will happen if we continue to work for peace and human rights," says a handmade poster of one involved in the resistance, "But we all know what will happen if we don't."

As for myself: I do my best to strive for solidarity with others, and redemption for my misdeeds. I believe that people should possess vision for the future, uniqueness of spirit, simplicity of organization, courage to stand up for conviction, integrity of self, moderation in acquisitions, frugality in desires, humility in behavior, patience in perseverance, self-reliance in demands, self-reflection to correct flaws, and unwavering curiosity and suspicion to find the truth. - - - As for ones virtues, I believe that you should display equality of judgment, honesty in conversation, loyalty to comrades, love for your friends and foes, fairness in proclamations, mercy in victory, forgiveness in betrayal, sincerity in action, sympathy for hardship, kindness in interaction, hospitality to strangers, generosity to the those with less, charity to those who need it, friendliness to those who don't deserve it, humor in all things, openness to new ideas, cooperation in overcoming obstacles, and an unforgiving fury at the sight or presence of injustice.
I am against oppression, injustice, racism, capitalism, corporatism, imperialism and anything else that fucks up people's lives.
I am sick of the apathetic state that has America by the balls. 50% of the world lives on two dollars or less a day. We are the only industrialized nation without national health care. Everyday we lose more rights. Torture is now legal. We are spied on. We are involved in an illegal war with Iraq and unfortunately we might be involved with an illegal war with Iran. Habeas Corpus has been suspended. The middle class is disappearing, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Our education system is a joke. This country is on the brink of an economic collapse. Corporations and private organizations such as the WTO, World Bank, IMF, Federal Reserve and other institutions have taken over this country and the world. Free trade is killing people and ruining people's lives, we need FAIR trade. We are carrying out nuclear warfare by using Depleted Uranium. Americans are in debt up to their ass. We police the world with our imperialistic warmongering tactics.
The Democrats and the Republicans are a one party system. There is no diversity. The government no longer represents its people. We are are becoming a fascist state. The government and corporations have intertwined to rule our lives. The American people have forgotten the wisdom and dreams of our four fathers. We have forgotten who we are and what we stand for. Instead of taking to the streets we buy products from corporations who close down American factories and ship them overseas for cheap labor in poor starving countries with American backed brutal dictatorships.
It is time to WAKE UP AMERICA. It is time to stand with each other in solidarity. It is time to fight for our rights and freedoms. For justice. For equality. For life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is time to say NO. It is time to FIGHT BACK. It is time to be Free. To free ourselves from the TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT. It is time to FREE THE WORLD.
I have created this page to help spread the Truth to those who are in constant search of it and for those who are in dire need of it. I also created it to discuss or debate issues with anybody who would like to do so. There is a revolution being fought in American right now, not a revolution of violence, but a revolution of the mind.
