Shearing Sheep

When in Ireland, I witnessed a sheep farmer and his Border Collies herding sheep into an enclosure. Using whistle commands, the farmer instructed the Collies on which way to turn the sheep, when to bunch them, and when to move them into the pen.

I was reminded of this witnessing the Break Free 'fossil-free' campaign events, May 14-16. Assuming the role of the sheep farmer, 350 (led by Bill McKibben) blew the whistle commands, while Break Free organizers barked at environmental activists (the sheep)--herding them into protest encampments at oil refineries.

It was astonishing to witness such precision in action. Of course, this entertaining choreography would never have taken place without the enticement of a payoff for McKibben and his herders from the 'wool merchants', i.e. Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and the Rockefeller Brothers.

Now, all that remains is the sheep shearing by on-the-take politicians--the wool taking the form of U.S. Treasury funds for nuclear-powered electrical generating stations, along with large scale solar and wind turbine farms, using highly toxic chemicals from the oil industry in their manufacture.

Now that's an efficient, vertically-integrated operation.

Silence

Silence is a symptom of complacency and cowardice.

Free Your Mind

Breaking free from Wall Street-sponsored spectacle--such as the Break Free campaign--necessitates breaking free from servile dependence on the central authority of Wall Street-funded NGOs, such as 350, and that requires breaking free from the mental chains of Wall Street-owned alternative media, such as Democracy Now!.

Clean Energy Ponzi

The  350 'clean energy' Ponzi stands on three legs:
  1. Political Illiteracy
  2. Financial Illogic
  3. Social Engineering through Social Media

The 350 'clean energy' Ponzi has conducted three campaigns:
  1. KXL
  2. Divestment
  3. Break Free

Green Illusions

Emerging research on the side effects and limitations of solar cells, wind turbines, biofuels, electric cars and other alternative energy strategies will likely transform conventional wisdom about what’s green, and what’s not. Watch Green Illusions, a talk with Ozzie Zehner, UC Berkeley.

Convoluted Voter Ethics

Voting for the lesser evil is still supporting evil.

Victims of Circumstance

When people have their world view shaken to the core, they invariably become adrift. It is then we throw them a life ring, but they still have to make it to shore on their own.

The New Economy

The New Economy is murdering Indigenous peoples on all continents every day for their lands and resources.

How does that differ from the old economy?

The Only Sin is Theft

A life of simplicity is the only moral choice. Everything else requires theft from others.

Systematic Inequality

The Palestinians are paying the price for the assuagement of American and European guilt over the Nazi Holocaust. The Zionists are reenacting that trauma casting themselves in the role of perpetrator, with the Palestinians as victim. Zionism, as a fascist ideology, must be destroyed before a resolution can be reached, and equality of civil rights established in Israel. In this, it is similar to the conflict in Northern Ireland, where the doctrine of British dominion relied on systematic inequality.

Native Trauma

Peter D’Errico reports that Native suicides reflect an infection of the soul by the disease of silent despair, an unresolved grief from the civilizing of Indians by Europeans. The ongoing loss of lands, resources, and ways of life, he says, leave Native communities in a state of perpetual mourning as each new generation is born into “a world in shambles”.
