Sample letter text:
They say women have no rights to affordable healthcare, women's healthcare, reproductive care, equal wages for equal work, etc.. They say "contraception isn't a right", and are now trying to insist through legislation; while they make believe they're against abortion and disease, we can stop their devolutionary directions' destruction by dispelling the republican conspiracies pathological lying, and even the dinos pathological half-truthing, with truth telling- let's. Currently, yes Trayvon was racially profiled, killed, yet, let's get all the facts. All smearing in this multi-media conspiracy weapon of mass-distraction tragedy is wrong; until there's a factual and complete timeline presented, all we know is 2 'have it like that' individuals collided and the one with the gun and the dad whose a judge won, tragically, so far- indicating the "stand your ground law" isn't appropriate for united suck of assassins citizens, at this time, while self defense is necessary, the law must be changed, "feeling your life might be threatened" is too low a threshold for a deadly force response. Oh, yeah, no "million hoodie march", besides the fact that hoods, short for hoodlums, do wear hoods, and this is a necessary warning sign for everyone to note, in their constant self-defense, spending 200 million dollars on a show of how much the supposed left is a media whore, and marketeers on tragedies and the left, isn't allowable 6 months before a presidential elections cycle. The attacks on Trayvon's reputation in the media are disgraceful, and disrespectful to his memory and his mourning family, as well. These attacks reflect the same kind of racial profiling and stereotyping that led to his death and then protected his killer from investigation and arrest, yet, how many others, non-African-Americans, for example, were murdered or killed, that same day, and they've no relevance to the supposed civil rights movement. Trayvon's killer, George Zimmerman, still hasn't been arrested. The focus of the media and our public officials should be on getting justice for Trayvon and addressing the dangers of racial profiling in our society. As well, just because Zimmerman was wrong, that doesn't make Trayvon right, why was he in a gated community he wasn't visiting, etc.. All supremacies from all conspiracies within all demographics, who all collaborate with the white supremacy, must stop dictating their demographics embrace the devolutionary direction of the corporate structure's convolution; and support allowing kids to be kids, and young women to become women, at minimum, before they're introduced to any and all forms of corporate whoring. The war on the middle-class to poor targets men, and more acutely, non-remocrat boys to men who are Caucasian, first, destroying infants testicles; second, using the republican's psychic terrorism, the 'suck', to assassinate infants in the crib, feeding on their souls; third, raping them repeatedly to destroy their defenses and anus, fourth, over-stimulating them in every way so they might think there's something wrong with them while all conspirators attack them in every way, including anatomical destruction to prevent them from getting sports contracts, etc., fifth, separating their astral bodies, souls, from their bodies during dreaming, with 'falling off the cliff' scenarios where one's astral body leaves the body before it hit's the ground, and is then led to understand the immense freedom an astral body can have, instilling in the astral body a dread of returning to the body, and its life, that is destroyed and weakened by all conspirators continually attacking the boys; sixth, can consist of enumerable scenarios where through voodoo, yoodoo, satanism, supposed Yoruba, Santiera, Sikh, Shinto, Witchcraft, Kali, Druidism, etc., the astral body is stolen from them, and led to the demonic forces of the republican conspiracies' psychic terrorism, the suck, destroying as it is ordered to. This is why I disagree with Islamic countries, in their general, deeming of the united suck of assassins the "great satan", for, the ancient Hebraic, then Judeo-Christian, and presently, the Roman Catholic imperial lies purporting the existing of a devil, etc., while swallowed whole by those weak minded enough to be brainwashed into being believers, abominations, instead of students of the real: Jesus' teachings, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, art science, agnostics, atheists, Buddhism, art, science, Wicca, Native American Spirituality, existentialists, Shinto, psychology, Sikh, etc., knowers, are just that, lies; yet, the republican's psychic terrorism, the suck, is the closest thing to a devil that has ever existed on earth- so, the "great" part, must, at least, be removed, for power garnered from pedocide programs that mass sexually attack non-remocrat Caucasian boys, their target group, by the Roman Catholic Empire, Hindu cults, etc., could hardly be called great, as they all are cowards. As well, all who support the pedocide programs of the military, etc., are cowards and aiders and abetters of pedos; therefore, pedos themselves- who could possibly pay even a dollar of taxes that goes directly into the pockets of the pedos the gov't orders to sexually attack their own kids? Also, why doesn't the U.N. get all the money it needs, so it can fully support the I.C.C., etc., the U.S. taxpayers have so much money robbed from their gov't, they don't fund the U.N. more, as they could and should. Every time you pay a dollar in tax: subsidies to sports stadiums, etc., you're paying a sports industry that anatomically destroys your boys to stop them from competing to get sports contracts, all of whose participants profit off the genocide of non-remocrat Caucasian boys to men; for the remocrat dominated military, police, intelligence, etc., industrial complexes, you're supporting the ever increasing theft of your tax dollars by them, for, they only wish to replicate themselves, grow, steal more as hey get more powerful, making their desired unnecessary "unending" global blitzkrieg war a future realism; of the $ 500. you pay to every Israeli citizen yearly, you're enabling their destruction of Palestine, and foreign aggression, cementing their supposed policy of peace and their real policy of it's never going to happen; to the defense dept., a large % of it goes to usa military bases abroad, and the dino-in-chief is increasing the number, in Australia, etc., directing paying for the military protection of the world by you, not the citizens of those countries, so, they don't have to, they use those tax dollars they don't have to spend on military to have an exponentially better way of life than usa citizens do, etc., just so the republicans can get their cut of that scam money; a % of it goes to the medical industrial complex of technocratic innovation as their panacea, medical model Dr. Mengeles, who uber-charge for unnecessary almost everything, and premeditatedly mass destroy and murder their patients as they're ordered to, for e.g., when you get a fancy test, the results are communicated to the psychic terrorism, informing them on how to murder you more effectively, etc.; a % goes to the engineered over the last decade, pre "Plessey vs. Ferguson" supremacy court decision, education system of 70 years ago, being born again, where a "separate and unequal" education system was allowed, by the "ebony and ivory, working together in perfect harmony…", supposed Christian conspiratorial white, black, etc., supremacists, republicans, immoral minority, and kluckers, all aboard the S.S. Tea Party tugboat dragging the dead in the water usa Ship of State into the rocks, with the mostly civil wrongs movement blacks, together engineering the vouchers for whites, charter schools for blacks &lsquorivatization' and religious domination of the education system to destroy the public school system, the teachers, etc., unions, and dictate the engineering of society wide defacto-slavery through most tax dollars going to supposed Christian schools, and public ones getting naught, determining a populace of have education and have not…, citizens, determining an ever-increasing chasm between the haves and the have-nots, etc., not to forget the fraud of "merit pay" for those teachers deemed worthy, supremacist birds of different feathers flocking together, klucking all the way to the bank. Not to forget the somewhat pre-Renaissance higher education system, where tenured professors rule academia, which manufactures well packaged replicant machine parts for the corporate structure's convolutions, la machine's, replication, actual education is almost nowhere to be found, the primacy of the delusional construct of materialism abounds; which is key to the devolutionary direction of addictions, vampirism, gambling, etc., increasing, as well. Remocrat politicians can now get away with flip flopping on even the existence of climate change, need for contraception to prevent disease and abortion, etc., due to caving dinos, and therefore, the evolution isn't even mentioned-any of those thieves of your taxes can alone dictate the extinction of humanity and large mammals, and together, they most certainly will. As well, female supremacists can't collaborate with black, white, etc., supremacists in gradually taking away women's reproductive healthcare and rights, as well as choice; the price they'll pay when they do will be much greater than the crumbs they get off the republicans plate. Happy Rhodes sings, "words weren't meant for cowards, be brave…"; write on. They say, the brave are those who stand when standing is hard; I say it's when you only stand, "all endowed with inalienable rights..." (regardless of the fact that the dino-in-chief has taken away any and all rights from everyone except himself with the NDAA law, for all intents and purposes), yet, we only have the ones we exercise; remember the constitution republicans- that includes women. As well, I've said the united suck of assassins is a country of extremists, supremacists of every conspiracy within every demographic, conspiring with the republican conspiracy (which is why the remocrats keep winning even though they're only 20 % of the population, the dempublicans keep building them up), including academic, supposed Christian (the 'good cop', some of the civil wrongs movement, 'bad cop', all republicans, S.S Tea Partiers, our taliban and al-queda), supposed Sikh, LGBTQ, etc.; Machiavellians and uber-ones, at minimum fascists to nazis, one and all- it's not even a possibility that the evolution's direction can stand against the corporate structure's convolution's devolutionary one, at this rate. The republicans final solution, to steal everything from everyone through the extermination to extinction of humanity and large mammals, technocracies of the world have permanently altered weather cycles causing the increase in the amount and severity of supposedly natural disasters, yet, we know all life are necessary threads in the fabric of life, we can't allow to be torn asunder. Extermination of humanity, large mammals, determined by the republican conspiracy, globally, millions of birds falling from the sky, fish dead in the water, etc., must be heeded now; before they sukceed in dictating the extinction of humanity and large mammals- as well as the destruction of the earth, and, possibly, all life as you know it. Life is indivisible, struggling with global unnecessary unending war is necessary; although, the intellect can't lead, for the life doesn't follow. Remember a lesson from WWII, if you're not taking bullets, you're making them, and fascism is the last step before the complete backslide to Nazism, possession is only nine-tenths of the law in a poverty stricken mind, centrism among extremists is Nazism, don't be it or allow it; Ghandi said "…be the change you wish to see in the world", and Castaneda said, "discipline is the art of feeling awe", etc.. Turn 360 degrees around, back to the evolution, dispelling the convolutions devolutionary direction; and getting back to the real future, we'll only have if you do! By abolishing the over use of fossil fuels (vaporizing the spirit and sucking the very blood of the earth, like the remocrat conspiracy does through their psychic terrorism, the suck, assassinating their only real competition, the real left, the evolution), and the devolutionary direction dictating the permanently altered weather cycles, 100 year storms happening every ten, 10,000 year cataclysmic events happening every thousand, 100,000 year destroying all life events, like alteration of magnetic poles location, their reversal, degradation of the earth's orbit around the sun, happening every ten thousand, etc., and being most alive! Stop the gov't historical use of the HAARP and other weather machines for political purposes, drilling Cuba with hurricanes, for example, Obama's Admin. using them to decrease the amount of natural disasters, etc., to mitigate the influence of environmentalism, the evolution and the real left, to alter legislation, win elections; has further permanently altered the natural weather cycles and made global warming exponentially worse in a few years- denaturing the earth is the extinction of humanity and large mammals in a process. Don't be republicated into mirror supremacist images of the white supremacy, being woman, black, supposed christian, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Jewish, Asian, Atheist, male, heterosexual, LGBTQ, age, etc., supremacists isn't equality, there's no equality of nazism; destruction to extinction aren't profit, pleasure, nor power- Audre Lourdes said, "you can't take apart the man's house with the man's tools.". The premeditated mass-murder of 8 billion people isn't allowable, opinion, freedom of religion, choice, civil liberty, a right, equality, American dreaming or way of life, nor cool. The dreamers must awaken, unlike the Dino-In-Chief's response to the tea partiers, which is tripartisanship, centrism, caving, the real left's is fku+theshtthatshatu, as it should be; thank goodness! Don't alter your humanity with, hormone treatments, steroids, human growth hormone, blood transfusions and swapping, like 70 % of athletes, destroying the realization of your potential while making you physiologically like a machine, etc.. They can't sociologically program somas of illimitable potential, that are indivisible, as life is, in order to republicate automatons for la machine, if you, don't agree, resist, refuse, be more so. Cult of personalityism=popularityism=vampirism=centrism=materialism=machiavellianism=cannibalism=extremism=supremacy=fascism=extermination=nazism=extinction. Thanx. Goodbye.
Matutinally Yours,

Malcolm X. From Darkness to Light Born in poverty and obscurity on May 19, 1925, in Omaha, Nebraska, Malcolm Little, the fourth child of Earl and Louise Little, rose to become one of the most dynamic Black Nationalist leaders of his time. He felt the sting of racism and was denied opportunity from his earliest years, from most, if not all, of the existing institutions of the day. Without the possibility, the hope, of upward mobility, with less than a ninth grade education, a life of crime was practically inevitable for young Malcolm. Read more
Reflections on Black History
Black History Month should be of interest to every Muslim, especially in America. It is estimated that upwards to 20 percent of the Africans enslaved in the Americas were Muslim. In some areas, such as the coast of the Carolinas, Georgia, and parts of Virginia, the percentages of Muslims in the slave population may have approached 40 percent. The fact that the search of a random African American, Alex Haley, for his roots led him to a Muslim village in West Africa is indicative of the widespread Muslim presence among the enslaved population here in the Americas.

Prince Among Slaves Prince Among Slaves is a nationally broadcast documentary, which is now a part of a major humanities outreach project. The documentary is a production of Unity Productions Foundation (UPF) in association with Spark Media and Duke Media. It tells the amazing story of an enslaved Muslim Prince from Africa who had an incredible life story. Read more

Personal Story:
My abandonment of Roman Catholicism was spawned by a premature death, my mother's at age 49, on the day before my 22nd birthday. I prayed like crazy for God to spare her, and when He did not, I established a new line of communication. I called God Allah and prayed with my palms cupped (to catch blessings) and my eyes wide open (to keep Allah's creation in sight). Read more

I invite you to join me at the Occupy AIPAC Summit in Washington this weekend.
I spent seven years in the Middle East. I lived for two of those seven years in Jerusalem. I was the Middle East Bureau Chief for the New York Times. AIPAC does not speak for Jews or for Israel. It speaks for right-wing ideologues who believe that because they have capacity to wage war, they have a right to wage war.
And just as these elites were too blind and too enamored of their own rhetoric to see what invading Iraq would trigger, so too are they unable to comprehend the regional conflagration that would be unleashed by attacking Iran.
The uprisings from Tunisia to Egypt to Greece to Occupy Wall Street to our gathering outside AIPAC's doors in Washington are all the same primal struggle for justice.
The battle for justice in Middle East is our battle. It is part of the vast, global battle against the 1 percent. It is a battle against the fossil fuel industry, the weapons manufacturers, the security and surveillance state, the misuse of public funds that wastes $ 4 trillion on wars that never had to be fought, the trillions more in looted taxpayer money to prop up insolvent banks and swell bloated military budgets, the battle to protect working men and women who are left struggling in the name of "austerity" to save their homes and find work.
Join us at Occupy AIPAC this weekend. Help us make the voices of the 99 percent—the voices of mothers, fathers and children in the squalid refugee camps in Gaza, in the suburbs of Tehran and in the bleak industrial wastelands in Ohio—heard.
Yours, Chris Hedges

Department of State budget justification, Fiscal Year 2013
Earlier this month, President Obama submitted to Congress his proposed budget for2013. Although research shows that preventing wars is 60 times more costeffective [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODU2/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2Zjbmwub3JnL2lzc3Vlcy9wcGRjL3ByZXZlbnRpb25fNjBfMV9jb3N0X2VmZmVjdGl2ZS5wZGYjISMh ] than fighting them, the president's budget once again pours hundreds of billionsinto war [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODU5/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2Zjbmwub3JnL2lzc3Vlcy9idWRnZXQvdGhlX2xhdGVzdC8jISMh ] while providing relativesmall change for peace [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODYz/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2Zjbmwub3JnL2lzc3Vlcy9wcGRjL292ZXJzZWFzX2NvbnRpbmdlbmN5X29wZXJhdGlvbnMvaW5kZXguaHRtbCMhIyE ] .This edition of World Without War provides our initial analysis on some keybudget issues related to FCNL's foreign policy agenda. More details and actionswill follow as Congress moves into its appropriations work in the months ahead.
In addition, with new legislative initiatives on Iran underway in both the Houseand Senate, we bring you two immediate ways you can help prevent another costlywar.

Bridget Moix,
Senior Legislative Secretary, Foreign Policy
Join Col. Wilkerson and FCNL in Lobbying to Prevent War with Iran
In the last few weeks, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to formerSecretary of State Colin Powell, has teamed up with FCNL [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODY0/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2Zjbmwub3JnL2Jsb2cvb2ZfcGVhY2VfYW5kX3BvbGl0aWNzL2xvYmJ5aW5nX3dpdGhfY29sX3dpbGtlcnNvbi8jISMh ] to lobby for diplomacy, and against war, with Iran.
Col. Wilkerson joined FCNL's Kate Gould and Hilary Johnson on lobby visits to askmembers of Congress to support a letter [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODY3/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5jYXB3aXouY29tL2Zjb25sL2lzc3Vlcy9hbGVydC8_YWxlcnRpZD02MTAyMjYxMSZ0eXBlPUNPIyEjIQ ] introduced by Reps. Keith Ellison (MN) and Walter Jones (NC) calling fordiplomacy with Iran and to oppose legislation in the Senate[ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODY5/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2NhcHdpei5jb20vZmNvbmwvaXNzdWVzL2FsZXJ0Lz9hbGVydGlkPTYwNTI0NTAxIyEjIQ ] that would press theUnited States towards war.
Rep. Garamendi (CA), Col. Wilkerson and Kate Gould
Ask your representative to sign on to the Ellison-Jones letter [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODcz/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5jYXB3aXouY29tL2Zjb25sL2lzc3Vlcy9hbGVydC8_YWxlcnRpZD02MTAyMjYxMSZ0eXBlPUNPIyEjIQ ] before March 1st to join this clear message of support for a peaceful resolutionof the conflict with Iran.
Already more than a third of the Senate has signed on to a resolution pressingthe administration to abandon diplomacy and support an attack against a "nuclearweapons capable Iran". During his visits with members of Congress and theirstaff, Col. Wilkerson pointed out that the resolution "reads like the same sheetof music that got us into the Iraq war, and could be the precursor for a war withIran," and called it "effectively, a thinly-disguised effort to bless war."
Urge your senators to oppose this dangerous legislation. [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODc3/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2NhcHdpei5jb20vZmNvbmwvaXNzdWVzL2JpbGxzLz9kZWJ1Zz0mYmlsbD02MTAyMTA3NiZjc19wYXJ0eT1hbGwmY3Nfc3RhdHVzPUMmY3Nfc3RhdGU9QUxMIyEjIQ ]

Obama's Budget: What's in it for War Prevention Funding?
The Obama administration released its fiscal year 2013 budget request last week.For overall State Department and USAID international affairs programs, thepresident's request represents a 2.4% increase over last year's levels. However,the budget includes lower levels of funding for several programs that FCNLsupports to help peacefully prevent deadly conflict. In a positive development,the budget request reduces the amount of diplomacy and development fundingincluded in the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) account [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODkx/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2Zjbmwub3JnL2lzc3Vlcy9wcGRjL292ZXJzZWFzX2NvbnRpbmdlbmN5X29wZXJhdGlvbnMvaW5kZXguaHRtbCMhIyE ] ,which funds war-related programs.

(What About War Funding?)
While war spending is on the decline, the proportional cost of the war has notchanged. Last week, 88 members of the House [ http://fcnl.org/r/B/MTg3ODk4/NDYzODY/0/0/aHR0cDovL2Zjbmwub3JnL2lzc3Vlcy9hZmdoYW5pc3Rhbi9ob3VzZV9sZXR0ZXJfc3VwcG9ydHNfYWNjZWxlcmF0ZWRfYWZnaGFuaXN0YW5fd2l0aGRyYXdhbC8jISMh ] ,including many of those influential on foreign policy issues, sent a letter toPresident Obama supporting an expedited end to the decade-long war inAfghanistan. As Congress sets the stage to debate the funding request and trooplevels in Afghanistan over the next 18 months, U.S. policy on when militarytroops will leave Afghanistan remains unclear.

Kenya: FCNL Briefs Congressional Staff

Background: Native American activist Leonard Peltier was wrongfullyconvicted in connection with the deaths of two agents of the FederalBureau of Investigation (FBI). Despite the courts' acknowledgmentof FBI and prosecutorial misconduct in the case, Peltier has beenimprisoned since 1976, currently at the U.S. Penitentiary at Coleman,Florida.
The evidence shows that the FBI was the aggressor in the firefightthat occurred on June 26, 1975. From 1973 to 1976, IndigenousPeople on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota werevictims of beatings, drive-by shootings, and stabbings carried outby local vigilantes who collaborated with the FBI. Peltier andother Indigenous activists were forced into a defensive postureto protect not only their lives, but the lives of others whowere present-elders, women, and children. Indeed, Mr. Peltier'sco-defendants, tried separately, were acquitted on grounds ofself-defense.
The evidence also clearly shows that the U.S. government's goalwas to orchestrate Mr. Peltier's conviction by any means-includingfalsifying extradition documents and intentionally committing fraudon a Canadian court, as well as suppressing evidence of Mr. Peltier'sinnocence during his trial. By the government's own admission,the critical part of the prosecution's case against Mr. Peltierwas the ballistics testimony which, years after his conviction,was discovered to be false.

While most states are currently reducing their prison populations, Illinois has added more than 4,000 inmates to its prisons. The problem of prison overcrowding is rooted in decades of tough on crime legislation, the war on drugs, and harsh sentencing practices. These policies have drained Illinois of vital resources, while having only a minimal effect on the crime rate. Today IDOC is one of the state's largest agencies, with a $1 billion budget. $362,000,000 on Phone Calls An exhaustive analysis of prison phone contracts nationwide has revealed that with only limited exceptions, telephone service providers offer lucrative kickbacks (politely termed "commissions&rdquo to state contracting agencies – amounting on average to 42% of gross revenues from prisoners' phone calls – in order to obtain exclusive, monopolistic contracts for prison phone services. These contracts are priced not only to unjustly enrich the telephone companies by charging much higher rates than those paid by the general public, but are further inflated to cover the commission payments, which suck over $152 million per year out of the pockets of prisoners' families – who are the overwhelming recipients of prison phone calls. Averaging a 42% kickback nationwide, this indicates that the phone market in state prison systems is worth more than an estimated $362 million annually in gross revenue. 60% of Commissary Profits go to the Department of Corrections 523 Salary Reimbursement Fund. These funds, generated by often over-inflated costs of common good items such as: soap, shoes and winter-wear, do not go to encourage re-entry programs, job-programs, counseling programs, privileges for good behavior, victim relief funds or children of the incarcerated funds.
Offenders are caged, some 23-hours a day, families cannot afford to offer support or aid, many are functionally illiterate, re-entry programs fall flat or short and so many are unleashed into society, unprepared, ill-equipped and more dangerous than when they went in. The Vigil for True Justice is an initiative formed by several joined community groups and advocacy programs. It is a 31-day MORATORIUM (APRIL 1ST THROUGH APRIL 31ST) where inmates, family members, tax payers, citizens, victims' family members and friends Stand STILL, open their eyes and cease all spending for items that exploit mass incarceration such as Phone Calls by Consolidated, Unnecessary commissary items and Vending Companies such as Ace Vending. Administrators of the Vigil will subsequently support legislation for goals such as: More reasonable communication pricing Better Vending Pricing Better Commissary Pricing Better allocation of funds for effective family services and Restorative Justice for Victims' Families Meritorious Good Time - HB 3899 Alternative Sentencing Electronic Home Monitoring Step Down Programs for Re-Entry Job Placement Programs for Ex-Offenders Travel Relief for Family Members We will continue to stand each year / twice a year until the corporations that continue to profit from mass incarceration listen and find ways to profit on prosperity rather than poverty. Let us all join together and send a message that we will not continue to fund a broken system. We want incarceration to work as intended by the constitution. To promote public safety and restore useful citizenship. For text message updates; text "Vigil" to: 312-593-6998

All supremacists from all conspiracies within all demographics, who all collaborate with the white supremacy, must stop dictating their demographics embrace the devolutionary direction of the corporate structure's convolution; and support allowing kids to be kids, and young women to become women, at minimum, before they're introduced to any and all forms of corporate whoring. As well, female supremacists can't collaborate with black and white supremacists in gradually taking away women's reproductive healthcare and rights, as well as choice; the price they'll pay when they do will be much greater than the crumbs they get off the republicans plate. Happy Rhodes sings, "words weren't meant for cowards, be brave…"; write on. They say, the brave are those who stand when standing is hard; I say it's when you only stand, "all endowed with inalienable rights..." (regardless of the fact that the dino-in-chief has taken away any and all rights from everyone except himself with the NDAA law, for all intents and purposes), yet, we only have the ones we exercise; remember the constitution republicans- that includes women. As well, I've said the united suck of assassins is a country of extremists, supremacists of every conspiracy within every demographic, conspiring with the republican conspiracy (which is why the remocrats keep winning even though they're only 20 % of the population, the dempublicans keep building them up), including academic, supposed Christian (the 'good cop', some of the civil wrongs movement, 'bad cop', all republicans, S.S Tea Partiers, our taliban and al-queda), supposed Sikh, LGBTQ, etc.; Machiavellians and uber-ones, at minimum fascists to nazis, one and all- it's not even a possibility that the evolution's direction can stand against the corporate structure's convolution's devolutionary one, at this rate. The republicans final solution, to steal everything from everyone through the extermination to extinction of humanity and large mammals, technocracies of the world have permanently altered weather cycles causing the increase in the amount and severity of supposedly natural disasters, yet, we know all life are necessary threads in the fabric of life, we can't allow to be torn asunder. Extermination of humanity, large mammals, determined by the republican conspiracy, globally, millions of birds falling from the sky, fish dead in the water, etc., must be heeded now; before they sukceed in dictating the extinction of humanity and large mammals- as well as the destruction of the earth, and, possibly, all life as you know it. Life is indivisible, struggling with global unnecessary unending war is necessary; although, the intellect can't lead, for the life doesn't follow. Remember a lesson from WWII, if you're not taking bullets, you're making them, and fascism is the last step before the complete backslide to Nazism, possession is only nine-tenths of the law in a poverty stricken mind, centrism among extremists is Nazism, don't be it or allow it; Ghandi said "…be the change you wish to see in the world", and Castaneda said, "discipline is the art of feeling awe", etc.. Turn 360 degrees around, back to the evolution, dispelling the convolutions devolutionary direction; and getting back to the real future, we'll only have if you do! By abolishing the over use of fossil fuels (vaporizing the spirit and sucking the very blood of the earth, like the remocrat conspiracy does through their psychic terrorism, the suck, assassinating their only real competition, the real left, the evolution), and the devolutionary direction dictating the permanently altered weather cycles, 100 year storms happening every ten, 10,000 year cataclysmic events happening every thousand, 100,000 year destroying all life events, like alteration of magnetic poles location, their reversal, degradation of our orbit around the sun, happening every ten thousand, etc., and being most alive! Don't be republicated into mirror supremacist images of the white supremacy, being woman, black, supposed christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, Asian, Atheist, male, LGBTQ, age, etc., supremacists isn't equality, there's no equality of nazism; destruction to extinction aren't profit, pleasure, nor power- Audre Lourdes said, "you can't take apart the man's house with the man's tools.". The premeditated mass-murder of 8 billion people isn't allowable, opinion, freedom of religion, choice, civil liberty, a right, equality, American dreaming or way of life, nor cool. The dreamers must awaken, unlike the Dino-In-Chief's response to the tea partiers, which is tripartisanship, centrism, caving, the real left's is fku+theshtthatshatu, as it should be; thank goodness! They can't sociologically program somas of illimitable potential, that are indivisible, as life is, in order to republicate automatons for la machine, if you, don't agree, resist, refuse, be more so. Popularityism=vampirism=cannibalism=centrism supremacy=fascism=extermination=nazism=extinction. Thanx. Goodbye.

Community Radio Program Updates Guatemalan Congress Ends Term with Promises Broken
With the 2011 elections over, Guatemala's new President and Congress will take office this weekend on January 14th. The term in office ends after four years of promises that never amounted to the passage of the community radio bill 4087. A recent editorial highlights Congress' failure to pass the bill, as well as the general disregard for the needs and concerns of Indigenous Peoples, due to what he calls a lack of political will.

"The time has come for the Occupy Movement to Occupy AIPAC." - Adbusters
The pro-Israeli government lobby AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) is gunning for a war with Iran— just like they pushed us into the catastrophic war in Iraq. And their manipulation of our political process destroys the possibility of a just peace for Palestinians and Israelis.
Join us March 2-6 in Washington, DC as we Occupy AIPAC during their annual policy conference. We'll have a Summit on Iran, Palestine and the Arab Uprisings, as well as workshops, cultural performances, film showings, protests and creative direct actions. Register now.
And there's another way you can call for peace with Iran. Help us take out a full-page ad in the influential DC newspaper—The Hill. We'll send a clear message to Congress that AIPAC does not represent the majority of Americans who won't want another war in the Middle East. If you can donate $100 or more, we'll include your name in the ad.
Now is the time to make a large, people-powered push to show our opposition to the stranglehold the Israel lobby continues to hold over our government. In this new year, let's make sure the US doesn't launch into a new war!
Say no to AIPAC. Say no to war with Iran. Say no to Israeli occupation. Speak out for peace and justice.
Onward for justice,Alli, Farida, Gayle, Janet, Jodie, Kendra, Kristen, Lisa, Melanie, Nancy, Medea, Rae, Sanaa, Sharon, and Tighe
PS: Register today for the Occupy AIPAC summit and be part of history in the making!
Bernie Buzz: Where Do We Go From Here?:As a new year dawned, Bernie laid out a bold agenda for the coming year. "The American people want action. They want their government to start representing the 99 percent, not just the top 1 percent," he said. As people struggle through the worst economy since the Great Depression, he added, the top priority must be creating jobs by rebuilding our infrastructure and transforming our energy system.Read more »

Stop Postal Service Cuts One of the first items on the Senate agenda in the new year will be Postal Service reform. Prodded by Bernie, the Postal Service agreed to a five-month moratorium on closing post offices and slashing 100,000 jobs. That gives Congress until May 15 to consider Bernie's Postal Service Protection Act and other reforms. "The post office must adapt to the challenges of the digital age, but we must do it in a way that makes it stronger and more responsible to the needs of consumers and not just cut, cut, cut," Bernie told an American Legion hall packed with 500 people.

Fighting for Senior Citizens Bernie has been a leader in the fight to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. As chairman of the Senate Subcomittee on Primary Health and Aging, he also is working on reauthorizing the Older Americans Act. This landmark law created Meals on Wheels and other programs for seniors. The investment in nutrition services to keep seniors healthy more than pays for itself in reduced health care costs, Bernie told Vermont Public Radio.Read the interview »

Action Page: Junk SOPA, plus bulk Occupy America bumper stickers:Though not as heinous on its face as some other legislation we have seen pushed in Congress lately, the so-called Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) would take a giant ax to the roots of the internet in an attempt to a deal with a problem up the branches somewhere.
Junk SOPA Action Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1091.php
The bill is so poorly written and vague in its definitions that it would potentially criminalize innocent behavior, an open door to selective prosecutions. Worse yet, it would give single troll complainers the power to completely and unilaterally shut down websites on false accusations, and force those sites to engage in lengthy legal battles to restore themselves.
Even those who originally supported the concept of SOPA are appalled at the blunderbuss tactics of the bill as presented, and Congress must go back to the drawing board, with the input of those who really know how the internet works, to come up with a bill that will not do more harm than good.
Though advertised as a bipartisan bill, on closer inspection only two Democratic sponsors were initial sponsors, Schiff and Berman, whose districts include all the big Hollywood movie studios. What a coincidence! And we should add, having just finished producing a movie ourselves we have great sympathy for those who deserve to be paid for their creative work, for how else can we righteously compensate our valiant cast, crew and support people? But this SOPA bill is absolutely the wrong way to do it.
And after you submit the action page you can now request a bulk order of the new "Occupy America" bumper stickers that have been so very popular. Demonstrate your support for the spreading occupy movements. We are just asking about a dollar each in bulk to help cover our costs, which include sending free single stickers to anyone who wants one. We just got in the latest shipment and all remaining single sticker requests are going out now. Here is a direct link to the bulk order page.

Mark Your Calendars For A Radio Appearance By The Pen
In the meantime we are getting attention in the progressive media. On Jan. 16 at 2PM PST, yours truly, The Pen, will appear live on the Harrison radio show in Los Angeles on KPFK to discuss these latest developments. You can tune in from anywhere over the internet at either http://www.smartshow.org or http://www.goharrison.com.
We'd also like you to know we are doing the final tweaks now on the mix for the theme song for "The Last War Crime" movie and anticipate getting it posted on iTunes in about a week. It would be wonderful if we could make a splash on iTunes about the song, as a way of introducing people to the movie itself. We pulled in the top rock and roll and jazz studio musicians in Los Angeles for this, and the best background singers on the planet, who have worked with everyone from Natalie Cole to Phil Collins. It's one hopping rock and roll track entitled, "It's A Crime", so please stay tuned for that.

Ask Mitt Romney: Will you ban birth control?:Add your name to this petition to Mitt Romney.
"Do you support the right to contraception provided for by the Supreme Court ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut, which protected the right to privacy and ended the ability of states to prohibit the use of contraceptives?"
Learn more about this campaign
The latest battle in the War on Women is over birth control. That's right: the extreme anti-woman Religious Right want to make it legal to ban birth control.
And recently, Rick Santorum unequivocally stated that he opposes contraception and thinks states should be able to ban the use of contraceptives.1 But Mitt Romney, the other Republican frontrunner, has yet to explain his position on birth control.
More than 99% of women in America who are sexually active have used contraceptives.2 That is an astounding proportion of the electorate who would be directly affected by the legislative agenda of an anti-contraception president. We deserve to know whether Mitt Romney would work to deny those women the right to access birth control.
Does Mitt Romney want to make it constitutional to ban birth control in America? Demand a yes or no answer. Click here to automatically sign the petition.
The right to use contraceptives was guaranteed in the Supreme Court ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut. This ruling guaranteed a right to privacy and deemed it unconstitutional to outlaw birth control.
The public has a right to know explicitly if Romney agrees with Santorum that Griswold should be overturned — and whether he would seek to overturn it through judicial appointments, legislation or constitutional amendments that would make it possible for states to ban birth control.
As a frontrunner for the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney very well could be the next President of the United States, and we know that anti-choice members of Congress will continue to push anti-contraceptive legislation. If a bill limiting access to contraception crosses his desk, Romney will have to choose whether to stop the attacks on the millions of women who use contraceptives.
The American people deserve a clear, unambiguous public statement regarding Romney's position on women's access to birth control.
Does Mitt Romney want to make it constitutional to ban birth control in America? Demand a yes or no answer.
Click below to sign the petition: http://act.credoaction.com/r/?r=366363&id=33156-585348-EYbAAPx&t=9

Happy Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday to you, here's a Sample letter:
Hi. Yeah, according to the remocrats, not to be mistaken for the dempublicans, supposedly, when a man pulls out a person is born, and every company and corporation is also a person, with enumerable inalienable rights, yet, Newt bling Gingrich says kids have no right to education unfettered by required professional work, no right to a childhood unfettered by working a job; all remocrats say, middle-class to poor people have no rights to universal, quality, healthcare, jobs, clean air, water, soil that can grow food, etc.. They say the elderly have no right to the Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, they paid into, and for, their whole lives by being the fine Americans they were their whole lives, they want to privatize, personalize, or just do away with all our societies protections and services for the elderly. They say women have no rights to affordable healthcare, women's healthcare, reproductive care, equal wages for equal work, etc.. They say, and are now trying to insist through legislation, that we don't have the right to vote, unfettered by repressive exaggerated identification demands, by unnecessary and unaffordable fees that are tantamount to poll taxes; all attempts to reinstitute Jim Crowism- except universally now. Well, "we, the people…", have news for the republicans, a twinkle in a man's eye, and corporations, aren't people and they don't have inalienable rights, we do, and we'll be voting to get that message across to them in November, 2012! Thanx. Goodbye.
(include your name, address, and in the case of a letter to the editor, your phone #)
Copy, share, as you will! Thanx for all you do.
Happy New Year! Art/Act, soul/social justice: Create art that is action, resolve this New Year to create too; write on! These actions on Disabled Greens News and discussion:
Talk the talk, walk the walk, and evenBe the be, but, if you don't vote the vote,You won't ever be livin' in a democracy!
"What's Love Got To Do With It..."
They say, a rose by any other..., Would still smell as sweet.Every 9 seconds a woman is raped By someone who says he loves her.Give a real gift to sisters, And brothers, all, reach one, And teach one, to not be aLink in that patriarchal chain,Not adding to that number of Humanities bane, not a statisticin la machine's game, ever; From this Valentine's Day on.
(For 100th anniversary of Int'l Women's Day, and celebrating Women's History Month; reality)
realityCiao, for now!

In "Amazing Grace," a Tapestry of Faith program
This activity uses a concrete action to illustrate the abstract idea of arbitrating between good and bad thoughts.
Engage the group in a modified tug of war, first taking youth to an area that is safe for such an activity. Divide the group into two teams of approximately equal size, weight, and strength. Identify one group as virtue and the other as sin, and announce that they are going to have a modified tug of war. You want them to arrange themselves at both ends of the rope so that when everybody leans back, there should be perfect balance, and neither team should move. You may have to swap people around or ask somebody to leave one of the groups and stand aside to achieve balance. At your signal, ask everybody to pull with approximately half strength so that the balance is maintained. Then ask this question: "If virtue and sin are perfectly balanced, how much additional virtue will it take so that virtue can win?" Now add another person to the virtue side. It could be a participant who had to stand aside to help balance the group or a leader. Now tell the groups to pull again at half strength. Virtue should win, though you may need to ask the sin side not to follow their natural instinct of increasing their effort to resist the new addition on the virtue side. (If this does not work, add another leader to the virtue side and try again.) Now ask the group to drop the rope and come together. Ask what it has proved about virtue and sin. Help the group to this answer: "In a group, one or two people can easily make enough difference so the group does the right thing." If you are feeling brave and trust your group not to get out of control, you can ask the group to repeat the experiment with everybody pulling at full strength. If a youth notes that a slight addition to the sin side can shift the balance as easily as the slight addition to the virtue side, accept the reasoning, and add that you hope the youth will generally look for an extra pull on the virtue side of their decisions.
If you have participants with limited mobility, make sure you find a way that they can participate. Maybe they can hold the rope and pull while seated. If you cannot accommodate all participants comfortably in this activity, you should skip it.

Probably not a yucca. Maybe Cordyline australis? |

U.S. Uranium Stock in Peril
Security guards at the country's leading nuclear storehouse have been cheating during antiterrorism drills -- perhaps for as long as 20 years, according to a report released Monday by the Energy Department's inspector general.
And now, watchdogs in Congress and beyond are questioning whether the tons of enriched uranium at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, are really safe at all.
"First off, heads should roll," said Rep. Christopher Shays (R-Connecticut), who chairs the House Committee on Government Reform's National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations Subcommittee. "I can assure you, my committee will be following up in a very direct way."
Y-12 is America's main facility for processing enriched uranium. It stores nearly all of the country's reserve of about 5,000 "secondaries," the thermonuclear hearts of hydrogen bombs.
When a team of Y-12 rent-a-cops racked up a perfect score during an antiterror drill June 26, officials there were shocked. How could the guards have performed so well, they wondered, when a computer model had predicted that the defenders would lose at least half of their confrontations?
The answer was simple: The guards cheated. They had seen the computer models of the strikes the day before they were launched, rendering the test "tainted and unreliable," according to the report (PDF).
"From the mid-1980s to the present," contract security guards had been given the plans to the attacks beforehand, noted Inspector General Gregory Friedman. The defenders knew ahead of time "the specific building and wall to be attacked by the test adversary," and they knew "whether or not a diversionary tactic would be employed."
"How are you ever going to figure out your weaknesses and vulnerabilities if you're shown the plans before?" asked Notra Trulock, the Energy Department's former intelligence director. "I don't think a terrorist is going to tell you what they're going to do before they come crashing in."
"It distorts the whole system," added Peter Stockton, a senior investigator at the Project on Government Oversight and a longtime critic of Energy Department security. "It calls into question whether these sites can be protected or not."
During the 100-person drill June 26, the Y-12 guards already had a pretty solid idea of what was going to happen.
William Brumley, manager of the Energy Department's Y-12 site office, said chieftains there set up a safe, mocked-up facility where the guards and attackers could go after each other without worrying about upsetting any radioactive material.
"You get some additional artificialities," he said. "But you can also play harder."
But the game gets a whole lot easier still when you've seen the other team's playbook.

This recipe is easy and adaptable so do as you wish with it - add stuff, take stuff out, just keep the rosemary and mustard.
I cut my teeth grilling, roasting and braising chicken under the sage-like eye of Mark Edwards, group executive chef at Nobu. This is a simple but delicious supper for two, or bash a couple more chicken breasts flat and invite some friends around to join you
This unfussy, rustic dish is fantastic for sharing and great for a dinner party with friends. Once you have mastered de-boning the chicken, it is a quick, easy, and an interesting take on a classic. Serve with a chilled glass of Orvieto and have a great weekend!
