(RussiaToday) – Hip-hop artist Immortal Technique is a self-described social guerrilla. Felipe Coronel is the real name of the Peruvian-born, Harlem-raised political activist who raps about politics, religion and racism. Since the genesis of the OWS movement, Tech has been an active voice for the cause, and on July 10 a documentary will be released showing his everyday life. He now joins us with more on his beliefs and his work.
(Excavator) – In 1946, French writer Albert Camus wrote, “the mind is always a step behind reality. History races ahead while the mind meditates.” That statement was never more true than on the morning of September 11, 2001.
It seemed like history took off on a rocket ship with only the traitorous oligarchy on board, while the majority of humanity was left stranded on battlefield Earth without the knowledge that impending catastrophes laid ahead. Read the rest of this entry »
(C4L) – While all the talk at present is about economic corners turned and markets charging ahead, no one is paying much notice to an American economy deteriorating before our eyes. These myopic commentators seem to be simply moving past the now almost-universally held conclusion that before the crash of 2008, our economy was on an unsustainable course. If these imbalances had been corrected, then perhaps I too would be joining in the euphoria. But evidence abounds that we have not veered at all from that dangerous path.

Plato’s ‘The Allegory of the Cave‘ is from book VI of his most famous work, The Republic. He begins ‘The Allegory‘ by describing a dark cave found underground where a group of people are sitting in ‘one long row with their backs to the cave’s entrance’. They are chained to their chairs from an early age and all that the humans can see is the distant cave wall in front of them.

I remember back in the good ol’ days of 2005 and 2006 when being against the wars was not only politically correct, but it was very popular. I remember receiving dozens of awards, uncountable accolades and even was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Read the rest of this entry »
“By far the most dangerous foe we have to fight is apathy – indifference from whatever cause, not from a lack of knowledge, but from carelessness, from absorption in other pursuits, from a contempt bred of self satisfaction”

Ignorance is pervasive in America; it affects the rich as well as the poor, the powerful and the powerless, the famous as well as the obscure. It’s prevalent in the suites of our nation’s CEOs, the Congress, the military, and even our universities. It defines this nation. Read the rest of this entry »
Ignorance is bliss as it is seemingly better to not want to know. You see, if people really knew the depth of the rat hole into which we’ve descended, maybe they might have to take action or even consider putting a few cases of bottled water in the closet before the hurricane hits. But no, they don’t want to know, and if you try to warn them it will fall on deaf ears because God will save them as their faith in Jesus is all they need. Read the rest of this entry »

THE LEVEL OF PUBLIC IGNORANCE on the topic of the U.S. and world monetary system is astonishing.
