NEW BOOK:  “Revolution” by Russell Brand

We all know the system isn’t working. Our governments are corrupt and the opposing parties are pointlessly similar. Our culture is filled with vacuity and pap, and we are told there’s nothing we can do: “It’s just the way things are.”

Russell Brand lacerates the straw men and paper tigers of our conformist times and presents, with the help of experts as diverse as Thomas Piketty and George Orwell, a vision for a fairer, sexier society that’s fun and inclusive.

Brand – “You have been lied to, told there’s no alternative, no choice, and that you don’t deserve any better.”

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈▶
Brand destroys this illusory facade of lies and pap.

Brand amusingly and deftly annihilates Morning Joe anchors, Fox News fascists, and BBC stalwarts.

Brand mixes wild stream-of-consciousness rants informed by interviews with Naomi Klein, anarchist David Graeber, and economist Thomas Piketty, with personal memoirs, calls to arms and, ultimately, a call to love.

Brand reminds Americans that when the rich are shafting everyone else, the planet is being destroyed, and everyone’s had enough… it’s time for a revolution!

FACT: 6 people whose dad founded Walmart have more money than 150 Million struggling Americans.

FACT: 85 plutocrats/royals/oligarchs have more wealth than 50% of earth’s population.

BRAND: “You can hear that is crazy, you can see that is wrong, you can feel that this is beyond disturbing. We’re told there’s nothing we can do about it, that this is ‘the way things are.’ Naturally, of course, that verdict emanates from the elite institutions, organizations, and individuals that benefit from things being ‘the way they are.’”

BRAND: Points out what Brad Werner of American Geophysical Union said that the capitalist system is so rapacious in its consumption of earth’s resources that the only hope we have to save the planet is for action to come from “outside the system.”

Russell adds: Outside the System “means us. We require radical action fast and that radical action will not come from the very interests that benefit from things being the way they are.”

Brand sincerely believes in getting back to his roots as an earnest activist, and told a recent interviewer he’s “ready to die for this.”

Brand: “These things were always in me. Politics is not something I’ve acquired through academia or influence, it’s something I’ve acquired through growing up in a single-parent family, being on the dole, then being a drug addict…Certainly this has been a huge learning curve the last couple of years…I had to change my beliefs….If you’re motivated by sufficient pain, you will change. We’re approaching a point where a significant number of people want to change.”

FOX JUDGE VS BRAND

After Russell Brand tore her apart for her HATE!

PAUL FARRELL, MarketWatch  – THE GOALS OF THE 1% – WHO WILL DIRECT THIS GROWING CRlSlS? OUR DECADE FROM HEII WILL GET WORSE

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/our-decade-from-hell-will-get-worse-in-2012-2011-12-13

2016. Reaganomics capitalism self-destructs, crashes, bank bankruptcies

“But what if history is not cyclical and slow-moving but arrhythmic,” asks Ferguson. “What if collapse does not arrive over a number of centuries but comes suddenly,” too rapid to respond in time. True to form, a new conservative president will keep ignoring the lessons of history. And, as Jared Diamond’s warns in “Collapse:” “One of the disturbing facts of history is that so many civilizations share a sharp curve of decline … demise may begin only a decade or two after it reaches its peak in population, wealth and power.”

2017. Class war and revoIution: Rich class loses big, surrenders

Warren Buffett saw the revolution long ago: “There’s cIass warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich cIass, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” But by the 2016 presidential election, political rage explodes into a new American CiviI War over inequality. The gaping INCOME gap pops a bubble, causes economic coIIapse. RlOTS spread preventing another massive bailout of our too-greedy-to-fail banks. New depression lgnites cIass rebeIIion.

2018. The Fed and Wall Street banks collapse, Glass-Steagall reinstated

We were Warned: Leaders need “the courage to practice long-term thinking, make bold, courageous, anticipatory decisions at a time when problems have become perceptible but before they reach crisis proportions.” Instead, they fail to act boldly, delay. History tells us leaders act in short-term self-interest, not long-term public interests, especially politicians backed by $Billionaires who see only quarterly earnings, year-end bonuses, next election.

USA IN DECAY = DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC TO AUTHORITARIAN OLIGARCHICAL DICTATORSHIP WITH AMERICANS HAVING NO SAY IN THEIR GOVERNMENT

USA IN DECAY = DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC TO AUTHORITARIAN OLIGARCHICAL DICTATORSHIP WITH AMERICANS HAVING NO SAY IN THEIR GOVERNMENT

“USA – a Falling Star” by Hanne Nabintu Herland Dec 18, 2014

Click for Source Article by Hanne Nabintu Herland

Noam Chomsky, one of America’s leading intellectuals and MIT researcher defines USA as a major cause of terror.

Chomsky = USA is not a democracy, but is a one-party state authocratic oligarchy of elitists = Ignoring the interests of the American People.

FACT: Princeton University Study = America is NOT a Democratic Republic = Ignores the the collective will of voters. = Wealthy elitists from left & right are PRECISELY listened to and their desires are met + Loss of FREEDOM for the individual replaced by Criminal ELITISTS.

Chomsky = Recently documented on Truthout that USA does covert CIA’s operations that interfer in the internal affairs of other nations to destabilize and create humanitarian tragedies.

Chomsky = October 15, 2014 IN NYT cited the CIA report OF USA’s lack of success with covert operations in Cuba, Angola, South Africa, and Nicaragua — Skepticism towards the ongoing support of Syrian rebels.

Chomsky = Major points is that NATO has changed dramatically from being a European defense alliance to being a USA-led intervention force and aggressive power to dominate the world.

Chomsky = Describes USA as a cause of terror = Resulted in Failure of foreign policy in the Middle East + escalation toward a new Cold War.

Chomsky = Attacks against ISIS are primarily unconstitutional according to Yale professor Bruce Ackerman.

Chomsky = USA acts in direct opposition to the wishes of the American people = Public Policy Polling 74% of Americans are against more wars.

Chomsky = USA has disturbing disrespect for sovereign nations = Syria saw no interaction with the Government prior to bombings.

ISIS must be opposed, but it is uses American weapons and vehicles and support from USA and Gulf monarchs and training in Jordan = According to international media.

Syrians have maintained that the invasion of Syria was by heavily armed Sunni extremist groups from Libyan terrorist group.

USA´s invasion of Iraq gave Shiite groups control over Sunni Muslims. In 1994 interview George Bush´s Vice President, Dick Cheney, described the dangers of disturbing the balance of power between Sunni and Shiite groups in Iraq.

Obama claims the fight against Sunni ISIS is moving too slowly because Assad – the enemy of ISIS — has not yet been defeated. This sends warning of further USA destabilization in regional war — the worst humanitarian disaster since World War II.

Robert McNamara wrote in “The fog of war” that USA unilateral support to one party in every civil war is the strategy to make negotiation and conflict resolution impossible. The USA regime changes in countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Egypt and Syria has caused severe deteriorated. Kissinger in his book called for recognition of national sovereignty to gain world peace.

FACT: USA no longer receives any respect in the Middle East.

Russian Vladimir Putin = Two consecutive years named by Forbes Magazine as the world’s most powerful man.

FACT: Western media is now considered unreliable in reporting realities.

Chomsky = The USA has become an autocratic military government that does not respect ts own people or relationships with independent states.

President Eisenhower’s speech in 1961 emphasized that strong military influence over government posed a particular threat to USA democracy — Threatening American liberties and democratic processes.

Chomsky = Sats Eisenhower’s scenario is precisely what has happened = USA has become an autocratic Oligarchical government and there are clear signs that Europe will follow their example.

LESSONS FOR AMERICANS FIGHTING THE OLIGARCHY = SOCIAL REVOLUTION VIA NON-VIOLENT COMMUNITY LEADERS: MEXICO’S ZAPATISTAS’ MOVEMENT PROTECTING OUR PLANET AND ITS PEOPLES WITH PEACEFUL REVOLUTION

by

LESSONS FOR AMERICANS FIGHTING THE OLIGARCHY = SOCIAL REVOLUTION VIA NON-VIOLENT COMMUNITY LEADERS: MEXICO’S ZAPATISTAS’ MOVEMENT PROTECTING OUR PLANET AND ITS PEOPLES WITH PEACEFUL REVOLUTION = MLKJR 2.0 + ANC in South Africa

Click for Source Article: We All Must Become Zapatistas by Chris Hedges, TruthDig 2014

Media tried trivialize the Mexico Zapatistas Movement = Subcomandante Marcos, the spokesman for the Zapatistas de Liberación Nacional (EZLN), announced his rebel persona no longer exists because it went from “spokesman to a distraction” fed by an easy cheap WESTERN MEDIA narrative to trivialize our social revolution into a cartoon. = Western Media ignores OUR movement by destroying our persona and the most important resistance movement of the last two decades.

Zapatistas = Global Resistance Movement to save the PLANET and prevent the rape of the planet and the subjugation of the poor by global capitalism – to survive.

Zapatistas = A new language drawn from the indigenous communal Mayan culture

Zapatistas = Understands corporate capitalism launched a war against the People

Zapatistas = Fights back (originally using violence) by now using slow, laborious work of building 32 autonomous, self-governing independent Zapatistas municipalities NOT recognized by the Mexican government.

Zapatistas = These 32 councils oversee community programs that distribute food, set up clinics and schools and collect taxes. = All Resources are given to those who live in the communities – NO CORPORATE PROFIT EXTRACTED.

Zapatistas = Allow us to see a future where we have a chance of surviving.

Zapatistas = A Zapatista teacher, José Luis Solís López, was murdered by Mexican paramilitary members. May 2 murder of the teacher is part of a government-allied paramilitary group to assassinate rural Zapatista leaders and destroy the self-governing Zapatista enclaves. = 15 unarmed Zapatista civilians were wounded May 2 + Destruction of a Zapatista clinic + A school + 3 vehicles

Zapatistas = First public appearance by Marcos (public face of the Zapatistas) since 2009 = Spoke to public May 25 about his rise as a media figure following the first uprising by the movement = The people demanded an identifiable leader = Later the MEDIA distorted that role to fit into its familiar destructive narratives. = Days after the uprising with the blood of our fallen still fresh in the city streets, we realized that the MEDIA blocked the outside world from seeing us = ignoring our indigenous who they customarily humiliate + Negating our dignified rebellion. = “They only see their own smallness, let’s make someone as small as them, so they may see him and through him they may see us.”

MEDIA = A complex maneuver of distraction = A terrible and marvelous magic trick = A malicious play against a indigenous MOVEMENT that challenges Capitalism and the media

MEDIA = Those who destroyed the character called “Marcos” = A visual icon of our clandestine rebellious movement begun by a handful of originators.

Zapatistas = First group in 1983 started in the densest part of the jungle = documented in film “Remembering Ten Years of Zapatismo” = Produced by the Chiapas Independent Media Center and Free Speech Radio News.

Zapatistas = A handful of “people that repeated to themselves every day ‘this is the right thing to do,’ ‘the right thing to do.’ There was nothing in the world telling us this was the right thing to do. We were dreaming that someday all of this would be worth something.”

Zapatistas = Early Jan. 1, 1994, armed rebels (EZLN) took over five major towns in Chiapas. = Same day NAFTA came into effect. = EZLN announced it no longer recognized the legitimacy of the Mexican government + Denounced NAFTA that widens the inequality between the poor and the rich. = So-Called Free Trade

Zapatistas = Understood free trade of US was a SCAM against PEOPLE and initially resorted to violence because peaceful means of protest had failed.

Zapatistas = Alarmed and suprised the Mexican government who sent several thousand members of the military and police to Chiapas to crush the uprising.

Zapatistas = The military handed out food to the impoverished peasants. It also detained scores of men. Many were tortured. Some were killed. There were 12 days of heavy fighting in which about 200 people died. = By February the Zapatistas, who hoped to ignite a nationwide revolution, were reeling under the military assault, agreed to negotiate.

Zapatistas = Most retreated into the surrounding jungle with Marcos, faced by a choice between the movement surviving and CHANGE after seeing his assassinated comrade, saying:

“Should we prepare those who come after us for the path of death?
Should we develop more and better soldiers?
Invest our efforts in improving our battered war machine?
Simulate dialogues and a disposition toward peace while preparing new attacks?
Kill or die as the only destiny?
Or should we reconstruct the path of life, that which those from above had broken and continue breaking?
… Should we have adorned with our blood the path that others have charted to Power, or should we have turned our heart and gaze toward who we are, toward those who are what we are—that is, the indigenous people, guardians of the earth and of memory?
Nobody listened then, but in the first babblings that were our words we made note that our dilemma was not between negotiating and fighting, but between dying and living.
… And we chose.
And rather than dedicating ourselves to training guerrillas, soldiers, and squadrons, we developed education and health promoters, who went about building the foundations of autonomy that today amaze the world.
Instead of constructing barracks, improving our weapons, and building walls and trenches, we built schools, hospitals and health centers; improving our living conditions.
Instead of fighting for a place in the Parthenon of individualized deaths of those from below, we chose to construct life.
All this in the midst of a war that was no less lethal because it was silent.”

Zapatistas Movement’s = Shift from violence to nonviolent civil disobedience = Cautioned not to turn their vengeance against the STATE’S killers manipulated to murder by the STATE.

Zapatistas = Focused on dismantling the system of global capitalism by NON-VIOLENCE = MLKJR + African National Congress (ANC) = Resiliency and Strength.

Marcos stressed this point:

Small justice looks so much like revenge. Small justice is what distributes impunity; as it punishes one, it absolves others.
What we want, what we fight for, does not end with finding Galeano’s murderers and seeing that they receive their punishment (make no mistake this is what will happen).
The patient and obstinate search seeks truth, not the relief of resignation.
True justice has to do with the buried compañero Galeano.
Because we ask ourselves not what do we do with his death, but what do we do with his life.

Zapatistas = Transformation by the EZLN from Violence to Peaceful protest = Crucial to Success in severing ourselves from the corporate state to build self-governing communities. = NOT Destroy but Transform

Zapatistas + MLKJR = Teach us Violence is counterproductive in creating a slow but radical shift in consciousness = Takes time to draw in larger and larger numbers of people acting in civil disobedience.

Like Zapatistas = Citizen awareness of the mechanisms of power must be taught with strict adherence to nonviolence even against violence of the state even using state’s hired goons and vigilantes. = Nonviolence makes CONVERSION of our oppressors possible.

As Marcos said:

“Maybe it’s true. Maybe we were wrong in choosing to cultivate life instead of worshipping death.
But we made the choice without listening to those on the outside. Without listening to those who always demand and insist on a fight to the death, as long as others will be the ones to do the dying.
We made the choice while looking and listening inward, as the collective Votán that we are.
We chose rebellion, that is to say, life.”
