Cops, gangmembers, and low intensity war games: R U statecraft illiterate? crucial arts liazon 2005-11-04 8:23 PM
The idea that western society is a 'chain-of-command' society and that the low intensity wars that happen here are played out by pawns of those wars appears to be a way of seeing what few seem to consider. To see this is to begin to not only understand why the feds have worked so hard to shut down and undermine the IMC projects (because we have here the *threat of a good example*) but also build a basis on which to envision truly serious alternatives.

Digging Deeper: Why No Conspiracy Count for Libby? William Hughes 2005-10-31 10:23 PM

The pre-Iraqi War intelligence was “fixed around the policy,” according to the Downing St. Memos. The perjury case of Irving “Scooter” Libby, Dick Cheney’s gofer, is only one small piece of the scheme to lie the country into war. Special Counsel Fitzgerald failed to use a conspiracy count against Libby, but he didn’t hesitate to do so in the Khaled Dumeisi case. Why the double standard? The Congress must get to the bottom of this cover-up. (image/jpeg)

We Can Win; Now When We Take a Stand for Human Rights It Means More. . . Eric LeCompte 2005-10-31 1:26 PM
With legislation on the verge of passing to close the "School of the Assassins", the time has come this November to stand up against violence, torture, and war! This Nov. 18-20 we ask that all those who stand for justice and democracy join us at the gates of The U.S. Army School of the Americas (SOA/WHINSEC), in Fort Benning, Georgia. In November of 1989, 14-yr old Cecilia Ramos, her mother, and 6 Jesuit Priests were murdered by a Salvadoran Death Squad attempting to instill fear in anyone who raised their voice against El Salvador's military. This November - as the 15th anniversary of the SOA Watch movement and support for legislation HR 1217 on the verge of closing the school - we need YOU, your family and friends, to join us at the gates in Fort Benning to end the violence and demand justice and freedom.

Independent Filmmaker Seeks Support Bruce Weaver 2005-10-30 10:36 PM
Independent Filmmaker coming to New Orleans to shoot footage of devistated areas of New Orleans to interview individuals within the context of his vision. Dance With Destiny is a documentary that revives humanity’s ancient spiritual past through interviews with Native American spiritualists, secular prophets, environmentalists, healers and leaders in the global sustainability movement. Through a collage of interviews, music, imagery and reporting, Director Bruce Weaver shows that only a spiritual and mythic revival can correct humanity’s course. From stories by Sequoyah Trueblood, a former Green Beret and Choctaw medicine man, to the economic insights of environmentalist entrepreneur Paul Hawkins, Dance with Destiny will challenge the world to rethink, regroup and revive the ancient spiritual paths modernity has lost to its peril. It is, at heart, a call to end mechanized ways of existence by waking to the buried callings of our ancient soul song. The time is now. Humanity is barreling past the point of no return. Fueled by hope but awake to our catastrophic path, this film explores in a penetrating and, at times, disturbing way the fate of the planet and the potential of the individual to shift the collective course – if changes are made. Some viewers may close heart and mind to the revelations in this film. Others will walk anew with increased hope, less threatened and fearful, more deeply inspired to build a sustainable future for posterity. There is an undeniable disconnect between humanity and the earth rooted in the notion that we are separate. It is causing a longing to revive humanity as spiritual, connected beings, not religious ones. This longing is evidenced in part by the New Age movement and the success of books like The Celestine Prophecy, a book which sold 10 million copies worldwide, The Da Vinci Code, one of the best selling novels of all time, and the recent film “What the Bleep Do We Know?” Dance with Destiny asserts not a New Age philosophy or science, but rather an old-age return to sanity, common sense, and wisdom that has been buried deep in the collective human psyche. The definition of “insanity” is repeating the same actions while expecting different results. The modern expression of our collective insanity is the failure to acknowledge glaring signs of doom and correct root causes before it is too late. The ancient seers, wisdom keepers, teachers or environmentalist in this film hail from ancient traditions. They were chosen because they see The World As Is through eyes that are clear and immune to anesthetizing power of media propaganda. In the words of director Bruce Weaver, “All of my interview subjects are saying much the same thing: wake-up and see the true consequences our actions have brought, and if we are able to see clearly, we have an obligation to act on that seeing. Once one sees things as they are, one cannot help but feel heartbreak. I believe that compassionate action is the by-product of that seeing, one that flows toward others and the planet.” Compassion is an ancient, awakened heart, the cornerstone of all real, true traditions be they Native American, Buddhist, Mystical Christianity or Kabalistic. Are we as human beings capable or willing to walk into the mouth of our own demons, the black source of un-compassionate, un-conscious action? The men and women featured in Dance With Destiny have valiantly done so and now are sharing with viewers what they have learned. One featured seer, Jesse Wolf Harden, also writer, activist, environmentalist and teacher, writes about Dance With Destiny: “Here is a film that awakens in us awareness as unsettling as it is exhilarating, a vision in which we are not victims of fate but “response-able” participants in the illusion shattering dance of destiny. Dance With Destiny explores the true frontiers of consciousness, where past, present and future meld seamlessly into activist art, an inclusive pulsing web of which we are both but a single inextricable strand and one of the crucial conscious weavers. We learn that our work is not only to create a sustainable future, but to develop the presence and judgment necessary to discern what values and ways of being are truly worth sustaining. Even as we face political repression and wars, environmental destruction and a culture of distraction and denial, we are each being given an assignment and opportunity to create holistic alternatives. We see that our personal struggles are part of a shamanic process of falling apart and being remade, much as the tumultuous Earth Changes tell the story of a living planet restoring balance through dramatic transformation. We come away from watching this film not paralyzed with fear of what so many have prophesied, but called to boldly attempt the so called “impossible.”’ (text/plain)
