PROUT stands for PROgressive UTilization Theory. It means, the progressive utilization and rational distribution of all the earth's natural resources. PROUT advocates another type of revolution called "nuclear revolution." In nuclear revolution, every aspect of collective life - social, economic, political, cultural, psychic and spiritual - is completely transformed. New moral and spiritual values arise in society which provide the impetus for accelerated social progress. The old era is replaced by a new era - one collective psychology is replaced by another. This type of revolution results in all-round development and social progress.

In fact, I have a suggestion for other countries that are getting a bit weary of the American military presence on their soil: cash in now, before it's too late. Either up the ante or tell the Americans to go home. I encourage this behavior because I'm convinced that the U.S. Empire of Bases will soon enough bankrupt our country, and so -- on the analogy of a financial bubble or a pyramid scheme -- if you're an investor, it's better to get your money out while you still can. This is, of course, something that has occurred to the Chinese and other financiers of the American national debt. Only they're cashing in quietly and slowly in order not to tank the dollar while they're still holding onto such a bundle of them. Make no mistake, though: whether we're being bled rapidly or slowly, we are bleeding; and hanging onto our military empire and all the bases that go with it will ultimately spell the end of the United States as we know it. Count on this, future generations of Americans traveling abroad decades from now won't find the landscape dotted with near-billion-dollar "embassies." - Chalmers Johnson
The generous benefactors of Maulana Fazlullah and his TNSM forces were sponsors of state terrorism, directed mostly at girls' schools and CD shops in the North West Region. Their murderous rampage and deceptive Shariah pacts forced Army intervention. Predator attacks upon Mullah Nazir intensify, until he begins to fight back, forcing the Army to scrap plans to divide the Taliban as a means to avoid a massive tribal war, focusing only on Mehsud. Meanwhile, some unknown outfit bombs Shia mosques and shopping areas (Nazir blames the attacks upon the Army), stoking the war in Kurram. Bahadur honors his pact with Nazir and Mehsud; he fights back, forcing the Army to broaden their planned offensive to include N. Waziristan against their better judgement. Never once, do the generals complain, or offer resistance to American violations of sovereignty. Instead, they follow the orders of their American masters, while the President of Pakistan continues to represent the President of the United States, instead of his own people, who are being killed by the dozens and the hundreds by the good old USA! - Peter Chamberlin
Indeed the dedication of the LTTE to armed struggle against the Sri Lankan state helped turn a history of oppression and resistance into one of brutal insurgency and counterinsurgency (see The trouble with guns: Sri Lanka, South Africa, Ireland", 10 June 2009). We know however that counterinsurgency is one of the most common contexts of genocidal violence. It remains to be seen - since most of the survivors are locked away from the world's media and the Sri Lankan government is blocking all attempts at independent investigation of the recent violence - how far the Sri Lankan army went in the direction of deliberate atrocity as opposed to brutal disregard for civilians. Here, indiscriminate allegations of a long-running Sri Lankan genocide paradoxically blunt the real questions: what kind of violence did the Sri Lankan state commit against its Tamil civilian population in the concluding prosecution of the war, on what scale and with what intentions? The continuing concentration of over 250,000 people in the camps both blocks the search for answers to these questions, and itself constitutes a most serious crime. If the doors are not opened quickly, this will raise questions of whether the government seriously intends a restoration of Tamil society in the conquered zone. This would indeed pose a question of genocide, in the sense of the deliberate destruction of a population group in its home territory. - Martin Shaw
Absolute power finds anything threatening. When you are aspiring to absolute power, any questioning, any challenge has to be put down. I was in Venezuela several times reading the New York Times, accounts of what was going on. It was like an Alice in Wonderland world, through a looking glass because the NYT had Chavez painted as this monster, suppressing the media. I was staying in a hotel where the right-wing newspapers would be delivered to my door. So the idea that somehow freedom of the press didn't exist is ridiculous. So that's one answer. Another answer, a more telling answer, is that, there were those of the anti-war movement during the Vietnam era, who would say "why is Vietnam a threat to the US ?". In Vietnam we don't have any military interest, we don't have any economic interest, so why? Are we going to spent 10 years, three million deaths, billions of dollars suppressing this revolution? And Chomsky's answer was "Because the idea will spread". The idea will spread and ideas are power. What we have to understand instinctively, is that we oppose the power of force with the power of ideas, and the power of people thinking differently. That is the threat Chavez represents. What if you thought differently about economics, about the role of education and about questions of social equity. What if you thought differently? Then the project of the US would be imperiled... - Bill Ayers
"Look, when human beings become steeped in ignorance, remain submerged in the slumber of darkness, become engrossed in the state of inaction, and think idly, 'Will I be able to do it? No, no, it's impossible', they cannot do any work. Human beings should think internally, 'I will do the work; I must do the work. When others have been able to do it, I will also be able to do it. I am not inferior to anyone. I have also been born into the glorious human family. I am also a blessed child of the Supreme Consciousness. One who has been born a human being will certainly remain a human being if they do glorious deeds and will ultimately become an ideal follower of the Supreme Benevolence. Their life is sure to meet with glorious success."

According to Time Magazine, "Often, children suffer lasting traumas from jail. Says Saleh Nazzal from the Palestinian Ministry of Prisoner Affairs, 'When soldiers burst into a house and drag away a child, he loses his feeling of being protected by his family. He comes back from prison alienated from his family, his friends. They don't like going back to school or even leaving the house. They start wetting their beds.' Says Mona Zaghrout, a YMCA counselor who helps kids returning from prison: 'They come out of prison thinking and acting like they are men. Their childhood is gone.' And they often turn to another father figure--the armed militant groups fighting the Israeli occupation.'" And so it goes. There's no money for California, or for Americans' health care, or for the several million Americans who have lost their homes and are homeless, because Israel needs it. Israel need the Americans' taxpayers money to that it can create even more enemies, and, therefore, need more American money to spend with the American armament industries to oppress more Palestinians and to make more enemies, requiring more American money to protect Israel from its folly and its evil. - Paul Craig Roberts
When President Obama says, "We believe that the coup was not legal and that President Zelaya remains the democratically elected president there," we must take his words with whole spoonfuls of salt. Let us return to Haiti. The United States broke every international law and standard of decency in orchestrating the overthrow and exile of Haitian President Aristide, more than five years ago. The U.S. put criminals and depraved torturers in power, causing the deaths of thousands and stripping Haiti of any element of effective national sovereignty. The U.S., France and Canada engineered the making of Haiti into a ward of the United Nations, whose military still occupies the country. And the U.S. has conspired with a small Haitian elite to shut Aristide's political party, Family Lavalas (Fanmi lavalas), out of recent Senatorial elections. If free and fair elections were held today, there is little doubt that Aristide and his party would win. The United States makes sure that doesn't happen. - Glen Ford
It isn't just the NY Times that has chosen this path, almost all of the mainstream media has refused to broadcast this latest malfeasance of the government in Israel. It seems like anyone that gets their news from this censored mainstream media will never know about the heavy-handed way Israel treats those that try to stop the suffering in Gaza. Rep. Bob Inglis told me that he didn't even know about this on Monday evening town hall meeting. That's how successful our censored media is. If I were Congressman Inglis, I would start reading my news from the internet. I say shame on him and shame on our government for not bringing the plight of the ship "Spirit of Humanity" to the attention of the American public. It's about time U.S. citizens got to see the ruthlessness of the Israeli government. - Tim Gatto
From the standpoint of the banks, the seemingly absurd and self-destructive practice of raising interest rates for people already behind on their payments only makes sense in the long term. These banks are ultimately betting that borrowers who are behind on their payments now will never pay back their principal amid falling wages and persistent unemployment. The banks are moving to extract the most in interest and fees that they can get away with, even at the consequence of their borrowers' eventual default and bankruptcy. - Andre Damon
"When the clothes become old and tattered, they are replaced with newer ones. This is the law. Nobody wants to wear old, tattered, and dirty clothes. Similarly, when the body becomes old and worthless, it is changed for a newer one." The body grows old due to work, activity. One has to march every fraction of a second in one's life. Marching ahead alone can establish one in dharma. Those who cannot move, cannot walk, are like corpses; their place is not in society, but in the cremation ground. They are antisocial. There is movement in all three spheres of life - physical, mental and spiritual. Movement in the physical realm means the construction of the spirituo-moralist society. The society is filled with pitchers of vice today. Break these pitchers to pieces with a stroke of your feet. [This is your destiny.] The vicious will oppose you, but you will have to face the challenge. One who annihilates physical vice is a sadvipra. This is your dharma in the mundane world. You are human beings, because you are fighting against the immoralists. In the psychic realm you have to establish righteousness by removing the germs of crude mentality. Everywhere in the world today the crude intellect dominates. It is your duty to replace it with your righteous intellect.

The child prostitution charge involves young Iraqi girls allegedly being brought to the Blackwater compound in Baghdad's fortified Green Zone, identified in the lawsuit as the "Blackwater Man Camp," to provide oral sex to contractors for $1. The purpose of the racketeering allegations is to demonstrate a "pattern of illegality" by Xe and its affiliated companies, Burke said. If the court rules against Xe on the racketeering count, it could dissolve the company or place restrictions on its future activities. "What we're very, very worried about is this company hurting other people going forward around the globe," Burke said. "They're moving into Africa, they're moving into other places, and we believe they need judicial supervision." - Bill Sizemore
Central to the entire mess is Hank "the Hammer" Paulson, our former Public Money Privatizer or Secretary of the Treasury as he is commonly known. To chronicle the full intricacy of Paulson's web of cronies and the methods he used to funnel public funds to them and their business during the Crisis would require a book, not an essay. However, one can draw a great deal of conclusions about Paulson's central beliefs on business and politics by mentioning that one of his first positions of power was serving as assistant to John Erlichman, the central architect of Richard Nixon's Watergate Scandal: a man who believed that when it came to wining seats of power, it's best to break and enter, steal, and destroy one's enemies at all costs. - Graham Summers
Indeed, if there was a defining moment in Friday's debate, it was the declaration by Representative Paul Broun of Georgia that climate change is nothing but a "hoax" that has been "perpetrated out of the scientific community." I'd call this a crazy conspiracy theory, but doing so would actually be unfair to crazy conspiracy theorists. After all, to believe that global warming is a hoax you have to believe in a vast cabal consisting of thousands of scientists - a cabal so powerful that it has managed to create false records on everything from global temperatures to Arctic sea ice. - Paul Krugman
Congress, until relatively recently, was understood to be central to our government. Only Congress is given the power to borrow money, to regulate commerce with foreign nations, to handle immigration and bankruptcies and the creation of money, transportation, the post office, the punishment of crimes, establishment of courts, defining and punishing crimes by other nations, declaring war, ending war, raising and spending money, creating and maintaining and overseeing the military, repelling invasions, and so on. These days, the White House is considered central to everything. Laws are made by "executive order" (an "executive order" is something like a faithful betrayal, a self-contradiction), by "signing statement" (a "signing statement" is a statement that one is NOT signing a bill as written) and by drafting legislation in the White House and insisting that Congress pass it out of loyalty to the president. - David Swanson
Sublime love has established itself for all eternity beyond the limits of time, space and person. Infinite love is the ultimate ecstatic expression of finite love. This very sense that artists try to awaken in the popular mind - when they devote themselves to the task of establishing the link between the finite and the infinite, between the mundane and the transcendental - this very awareness though not purely transcendental, verily bears the highest importance in the realm of art. Through expressions which are comprehensible to ordinary intelligence, it gradually leads the sweetness of the human mind to a supra-sensible dreamland. Rabindranath's poem "Urvashii" is a composition of this type. There is no dearth of physicality in the poem, nor is it difficult to understand; and yet its crude materiality gradually expands into a subtlety beyond understanding. Love that is completely physical is not love at all in terms of philosophy. Therefore philosophy will not, and perhaps should not, entertain such love at all. But can an artist ignore it? It is in every great or small incident of life that an ordinary person feels pleasure or pain. Even love concerned with the body is not something completely cut off from pleasure and pain. How then can the artist, given to delineating human happiness and sorrow - sworn to giving form to the impact of human grief and pain, hopes and desires - neglect this physical love?

In 2003, the first year of the report, abuse in Aboriginal communities was said to be four times as likely. It also shows there has been no improvement in literacy and numeracy since the last survey of Aboriginal living standards two years ago. Indigenous Australians are also 13 times more likely to go to prison. Aborigines make up about two per cent of Australia's 22 million population and are the poorest and unhealthiest minority. The average life expectancy for a member of the Aboriginal community is at least 10 years shorter than other Australians.
Solar is now spreading across the state to schools, hospitals, funeral homes, and residences, as well as commercial and business sites, according to Fox. She cited a Johnson & Johnson solar array over a parking lot next to the Amtrak tracks, and a massive rooftop system at Hall's Warehouse Corp. in South Plainfield, NJ. This last facility was built and operated by a California company to supply electricity to Hall's huge complex of refrigerated storage units. Hall's put up no frontend investment, but now pays the installer and operator for the electricity supplied at a lower rate than it was paying to the local power company. - Bob Haavind
Now this sádhaná, which is sádhaná for complete merger, for unification, starts with fearful love. Love must be there. Unless and until there is love there cannot be unification.

Sádhaná is the transformation of fearful love into fearless love.

All of which leads me to conclude--as the latest news drones in the background--another 76 barbecued in Iraq today!--all of which leads me to conclude: on the 4th of July, the rational man and woman, the feeling ones, the sensible ones, the unclouded, the mind-free, the spiritually unshackled, will do everything they can to eschew participation in that idiot display of hubris, chutzpah, chicanery, vaudeville and irrelevance. Perhaps he or she will take refuge, too, not in the verities of the lost Republics of ancient Rome or almost equally ancient America, but in the still fresh insights of the Taoist poet-philosopher who wrote: "By and by comes the great awakening, and then we find out that this life is really a great dream. Fools think they are awake now, and flatter themselves they know." If Chuangtse's words pry open consciousness a little, let us consider where and how we have strayed down the thorny, primrose paths of power and self-aggrandizement, and reflect on the words of the disciple's teacher: - Gary Corseri
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high,
Where knowledge is free,
Where the world has not broken up into fragments by narrow dogmatic walls,
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
into the dreary desert sand of dead habit,
Where the mind is led forward by Thee
Into ever widening thought and action,
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake!

The Geithner-Summers reform proposals are an utter fraud. They're a meaningless public relations scam designed to conceal the fact that the banks will continue to maintain their stranglehold on OTC derivatives trading while circumventing government oversight. Nothing will change. Bernanke and Geithner's primary objective is to preserve the ability of the banks to use complex instruments to enhance leverage and maximize profits. The banks created the financial crisis, and now they are its biggest beneficiaries. They don't need to worry about risk, because Bernanke has assured them that they will be bailed out regardless of the cost. Financial institutions that have explicit government guarantees are able to get cheaper funding because lending to the bank is the same as lending to the state. And, so it goes. The underwriting of the banks with public resources changes the fundamental structure of the existing system. It's the end of free markets and the beginning of state capitalism. - Mike Whitney

On September 15, 2008, WMR reported on how NSA was using projects designed to protect the security of cyberspace as Trojan horses to gain a foothold in surveillance of civilian networks: "WMR has learned from government sources that the Bush administration has authorized massive surveillance of the Internet using as cover a cyber-security multi-billion dollar project called the 'Einstein' program. Billed as a cyber-security intrusion detection system for federal computer systems and networks, WMR has been told that the actual intent of Einstein is to initially monitor the email and web surfing activities of federal employees and contractors and not in protecting government computer systems from intrusion by outsiders . . . The DNI [Director of National Intelligence] and NSA also plan to move Einstein into the private sector by claiming the nation's critical infrastructure, by nature, overlaps into the commercial sector. There are classified plans, already budgeted in so-called 'black' projects, to extend Einstein surveillance into the dot (.) com, dot (.) edu, dot (.) int, and dot (.) org, as well as other Internet domains. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has budgeted $5.4 billion for Einstein in his department's FY2009 information technology budget. However, this amount does not take into account the 'black' budgets for Einstein proliferation throughout the U.S. telecommunications network contained in the budgets for NSA and DNI." - Wayne Madsen
Using the "swine flu" as a pretext, the defendants have preplanned the mass murder of the U.S. population by means of forced vaccination. They have installed an extensive network of FEMA concentration camps and identified mass grave sites, and they have been involved in devising and implementing a scheme to hand power over the U.S. to an international crime syndicate that uses the UN and WHO as a front for illegal racketeering influenced organized crime activities, in violation of the laws that govern treason. She further charges that the complex of pharmaceutical companies consisting of Baxter, Novartis and Sanofi Aventis are part of a foreign-based dual purpose bioweapons program, financed by this international criminal syndicate and designed to implement mass murder to reduce the world's population by more than 5 billion people in the next ten years. Their plan is to spread terror to justify forcing people to give up their rights, and to force mass quarantine in FEMA camps. The houses, companies and farms and lands of those who are killed will be up for grabs by this syndicate.
Song of Revolution
These shackles of vice,
This fortress of corruption
Break free and pulverize them.
Come brothers and sisters,
Come with an open heart,
Merging with everyone.
Do not stay away anymore.
Break free and pulverize them.
Demons are tyranizing and exploiting,
Ah....Ah....Ah....Ah....
Demons are tyranizing and exploiting,
Guarding and nourishing their gangsters.
The vicious and the depraved revel in joy,
While the helpless poor are frantic.
Break free and pulverize them.
O look at the colorful sun
In the eastern skies.
Wipe out all the piled-up darkness;
See to it that the sun doesn't sink.
And that demons do not prowl in the dark.
Break free and pulverize them.
These shackles of vice,
This fortress of corruption
Break free and pulverize them.
Break free and pulverize them.

The demonstrators chanted slogans like "Leave America, Leave!" and "Down with the US," while holding banners which read "No to American Slavery," a Press TV correspondent reported. Addressing the rally, JI chief Munawar Hassan held US responsible for political and economic instabilities in Pakistan. While condemning the US drone attacks in Pakistani tribal region, protestors held President Obama responsible for the killing of what they believe "innocent people". Washington says the drone attacks are aimed at suspected militants, but Pakistani media say only one-sixth of US missiles actually hit militant hideouts. Hundreds of Pakistani civilians have lost their lives in such attacks, which started under the Bush administration. Islamabad has repeatedly condemned the US raids, demanding an immediate end to the imprecise drone attacks.
"Economics, finance and business professionals, if the quest for the bottom line is just not enough for you, the Central Intelligence Agency has a mission like no other," one radio advertisement for the agency says. "Join CIA's directorate of intelligence and be a part of our global mission as an economic or financial analyst. Make a difference in your career and for your nation," it says. Ron Patrick, a spokesman for recruitment and retention at the CIA, told Reuters Television the agency had received several hundred resumes so far from applicants ranging from people just out of graduate school to laid-off bankers.
People like Rizzo and Fredman should not be working for our government a single day longer. They should be impeached. They should be prosecuted. They should be given fair trials and be imprisoned if convicted. And all existing information on what they did should be made public. Fed up with waiting for Congress or the Justice Department to act, a coalition of groups headquartered at http://DisbarTortureLawyers.com has gone ahead and filed complaints with bar associations to have torture lawyers disbarred and to call attention to the need for further accountability. Having already filed complaints against 12 torture lawyers, Disbar Torture Lawyers filed three more on Monday. Two of these were against Rizzo and Fredman. Disbar Torture Lawyers held a press conference on Monday at the National Press Club, with remarks by Kevin Zeese, who filed the complaints, by Bruce Fein, a former Reagan administration lawyer, and by Shahid Buttar, Director of the Bill of Rights Defense Committee. I was not in town but am certain we can count on the Washington Post to give the story all the coverage it deserves. - David Swanson
History keeps a record of the names and deeds of those that commit the most heinous acts against humanity, those capable of the greatest cruelties. Alongside those names are the countless examples of acts of resistance and voices of dissent. These stories are the inspiration for our continued human struggle for justice and decency.

In his book, "Full Spectrum Dominance," Engdahl explained how the process played out. Under the slogan "Pora (It's Time)," people who helped organize Georgia's "Rose Revolution" were brought in to consult "on techniques of non-violent struggle." The Washington-based Rock Creek Creative PR firm was instrumental in branding the "Orange Revolution" around a pro-Yushchenko web site featuring that color theme. The US State Department spent around $20 million dollars to turn Yanukovych's victory into one for Yushchenko with help from the same NGOs behind Georgia's "Rose Revolution" and others. - Stephen Lendman

Some of those supporting the legislation include the AFL-CIO, the United Steelworkers, the Sierra Club, the National Family Farm Coalition and Public Citizen.

Obama's increasingly open embrace of all the anti-democratic methods of the Bush administration--with even superficial differences vanishing--demonstrates the impossibility of defending democratic rights through one or another capitalist politician or party. The criminal methods of the "war on terror" arise not from the mistaken policies of individual politicians. Rather they arise inexorably from the deeper criminal act of launching wars of aggression, which in turn arises from the US political elite's drive to offset the decline of US capitalism by seizing critical natural resources and strategic advantage over its main imperialist rivals in Europe and Asia. - Tom Eley
Money in the form of a $1,500 stipend to every adult per month would drive the market for consumer goods. The only stipulation on the money would be that the money be used on necessities (IE: mortgage payments, insurance, utilities, car payments, appliances, ect.) Eventually the markets would start moving again, the financial sector that made bad decisions that put themselves in jeopardy in the first place, would either work their way out of their predicament or fail, after all, isn't this the premise behind capitalism? - Tim Gatto
Can we achieve honour, status and other things that we want in this material world without a stuggle? And when we consider our aspiration for development and advancement in the mental world, that also cannot be brought about without a struggle. That is why, everywhere, whether in crude or subtle sphere, struggle is the essence of life. Thus Tantra is an asset not only in the spiritual world but even in the most material and crude spheres of life. Those who sparkle and arouse their vigour in the physical and mental realm by staging a struggle against crude trends, become superhuman in their human frames. The personalities earned with vigour and vitality get ovations everywhere.

Old forests are our home. We and many species have evolved there or nearby, and are utterly dependent upon their carbon storage, biodiversity, soil, water, wildlife, rain and other ecosystem processes they provide. Earth is faced with an unprecedented emergency as its surface is scoured of life and the ecologically cumulative biosphere collapses. Nothing impacts climate, water or oceans more than denuding natural forests. To advocate cutting down the last bits of old forests that allow us to live, to be paid for by money to address climate change, is an outrageous crime against humanity that cannot go unchallenged. - Dr. Glen Barry
To tell a story that never happened, never took place, never was, never got manifested. See the story of so many lives that never got fulfilled. never had the chance to grow up, fall in love, marry, bear children, grow old, They never had the chance to love and serve humanity, they never had the chance to fall in love with GOD. Decade after decade their suffering continues. What does GOD want us to do for them? Just see the woman clinging to her precious olive tree. See everything. This is not acceptable. It is not acceptable that powerful elites rule the world and create havoc, death and destruction in the lives of simple human beings. If we have any spine at all, we should not accept this. Please tell me, is there not some connection between our spirituality, our ideology, and these sweet suffering people? What is that connection? Just tell me. - Garda Ghista
About a home with a broken lantern
About a picnic that wasn't enjoyed.
About an axe that killed a tulip
About a fire that consumed a plait
About a tear that couldn't run down

About a wedding that wasn't celebrated
And a baby girl that didn't grow up
About a football that wasn't kicked
I want to tell a story about a key that wasn't used
About a classroom that wasn't attended
About a besieged lonely farm
And about its fruits That weren't picked
About a lie that wasn't discovered

And about a stubborn flag that refuses to lie down
About a spirit that cannot be defeated

All the might of darkness
In the world
Cannot extinguish
The faintest flicker
Of a beam of light
Light a candle

Watch the darkness fade away

Although the anti-exploitation sentiment is the most important factor in building a nation or a group of nations, this sentiment will not be able to sustain a nation or a group of nations for a long time. One day exploitation must cease. If it is not stopped completely, it can be confidently said that in the future the intensity of exploitation will be much less than what it is today. As soon as administrative power passes into the hands of moralists, then exploitation will cease to exist. In the absence of exploitation the anti-exploitation sentiment will die out, and consequently a nation or a group of nations based on the anti-exploitation sentiment will not exist either. What will happen then? The sentiment of spiritual inheritance and Cosmic ideology will keep people united. It is true that this spiritual sentiment will not help to form a nation inside any particular country, but it will definitely unite the entire planetary world, and even the universe, into a nation. Then there will be only one nation a universal nation. Today human beings, to whatever country they may belong, should, on the one side, propagate an anti-exploitation sentiment (exploitation does not mean exploitation in the economic sphere only, it includes all sorts of exploitation), and form strong nations in their respective countries; and, on the other side, preach the theory of one spiritual inheritance that every living being is the child of the Supreme Entity, and that all the people of all nations belong to the same family. This will have to be explained to all, that there will be clash among different nations as long as national feelings exist. People may talk of disarmament, but military preparation will go on underground. And if people dedicate themselves to the welfare of the entire human race, their respective nations will also be benefited indirectly because their nations are not outside the universe! Along with the theory of spiritual inheritance, one Cosmic ideology will have to be propagated too, and that ideology is that one Supreme Entity the Cosmic Entity is the goal of all living beings. This spiritual sentiment will keep human beings united for all time to come. No other theory can save the human race.

Hope without reason is a fool's gold. It is a cruel and well manipulated hoax. This is the so called hope of the Obama /Biden clique. Indeed we do have hope. We always have; long before there was a corporate Barack Obama brand thrust into our faces by the despicable corporate media. Our hope however, is an actualized one, based upon the needs and economic and political interests of everyday Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow peoples; not those of the corporate blood sucking corporate / military elite! It is based upon the process of critical thought and an analysis of reality, not the dismissing of it. In these perilous times we must hold on tightly to our political principles, stay strong in the knowledge that our protracted political struggle will ultimately prevail, and carry on in networking, organizing, agitating, and educating. Hold On, Stay Strong, and Carry On. Onward my brothers and sisters! Onward.....!!! - Larry Pinkney

When the capitalists, maddened with excessive greed, lose their common sense completely and forsake their humanity totally, then for worker revolution the opportune time has come. However, it cannot be said that worker revolution will automatically occur just because an opportune time has come. Proper conditions relating to place and person will bear much of the responsibility. Revolution takes place when, from the economic perspective, only two classes remain in society: the exploiting capitalists and the exploited workers. But if there are no intellectuals and warriors from a mental standpoint - in other words if there are no people who, though workers from an economic standpoint, are intellectuals or warriors from a mental standpoint - worker revolution will not be possible. It is not the work of people who have a worker mentality to bring about revolution. They avoid struggle; they are playthings of the capitalists. At the high point of the Capitalist Age, the capitalists easily manipulate the labor-minded workers. If the warrior- and intellectual-minded workers lack spirit, they will also be bought by the capitalists' money. Thus worker revolution ultimately depends on workers who have sufficient spirit and are mentally intellectuals or warriors.
