What would your appeal and/or advice be to Obama? Raoul Vaneigem: I refuse to cultivate any relationship whatsoever with people of power. HUO: Could we talk about your beginnings? RV: I would first like to clarify that situationism is an ideology that the situationists were unanimous in rejecting. HUO: Which situationist projects remain unrealized? RV: Psychogeography, the construction of situations, the superseding of predatory behavior. HUO: The Situationist International defined the situationist as someone who commits her- or himself to the construction of situations. RV: By its very style of living and thinking, our group was already sketching out a situation, like a beachhead active within enemy territory.

Why Obama Will Not Veto NDAA Military Detention of Americans: He Requested It. Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) on Senate floor explaining it was Obama who requested the provision for indefinite military detention of American citizens without charge or trial. Senator Diane Feinstein recently confirmed that she was unable to excise Section 1031 in an email: Senator Feinstein Confirms President and Military Can Detain US Citizens Without a Trial Like you, I oppose these provisions. Section 1031 is problematic because it authorizes the indefinite detention of American citizens without due process. Senator Levin: Anonymous' Message to the American People Transcript: Dear brothers and sisters. In a stunning move that has civil libertarians stuttering with disbelief, the U.S. The National Defense Authorization Act is being called the most traitorous act ever witnessed in the Senate, and the language of the bill is cleverly designed to make you think it doesn't apply to Americans, but toward the end of the bill, it essentially says it can apply to Americans "if we want it to..."
Situationistische Internationale Die Situationistische Internationale (S.I.) war eine 1957 gegründete, linksradikal orientierte Gruppe europäischer Künstler und Intellektueller (darunter politische Theoretiker, Architekten, freischaffende Künstler u. a.), die vor allem in den 1960er Jahren aktiv war. Die Situationisten beeinflussten die politische Linke, speziell im Umfeld des Pariser Mai 1968, die Entwicklung der Methoden der Kommunikationsguerilla und die internationale Kunstszene, insbesondere die Popkultur. Die Zahl der Mitglieder lag zwischen zehn und über 40. Über die Zeit waren insgesamt ca. 70 Personen beteiligt. 1972 gab die Gruppe ihre Selbstauflösung bekannt.

News of protests Free the Slaves - Slave-Free Business There’s slavery in every shopping mall in America. From cocoa, coffee and clothing, to cars, computers and cell phones—many products sold in the U.S. are tainted by slavery. Sometimes it’s sweatshop slavery where goods are manufactured. Other times, it’s brutal child slavery at plantations and mines where commodities and raw materials come from. Consumers, investors and regulators want to remove slavery from U.S. store shelves.

Main Page - Social Justice Wiki Excerpts from the Handbook for a New Paradigm Chapter I This is a point in the evolution of the planet that brings to the forefront of each individual’s thoughts the question of why me, why now and what is really going on in the reality that is right now in the time we are experiencing. What really is going on behind-the-scenes we are looking at through the five senses? Why is there this feeling that there is more to the story than just appearances. Who indeed has set this up and is pulling the strings. Is it really just a group of somebodys that is in charge? The Truth is that there are multiple levels of activity behind what appears to be a play of incredible magnitude. Since the Creator of this theatre likes this particular theatre and thinks of it as a pet project, this idea doesn’t appeal to Him at all. To what purpose is this discussion being instigated? Now you must come into the understanding that there is a passage through this experience for mankind, but you must move into a creative stance, not a resistive posture.
Leaked: US to Start ‘Trade Wars’ with Nations Opposed to Monsanto, GMO Crops Anthony GucciardiActivist Post The United States is threatening nations who oppose Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) crops with military-style trade wars, according to information obtained and released by the organization WikiLeaks. Nations like France, which have moved to ban one of Monsanto’s GM corn varieties, were requested to be ‘penalized’ by the United States for opposing Monsanto and genetically modified foods. The information reveals just how deep Monsanto’s roots have penetrated key positions within the United States government, with the cables reporting that many U.S. diplomats work directly for Monsanto. The WikiLeaks cable reveals that in late 2007, the United States ambassador to France and business partner to George W. Bush, Craig Stapleton, requested that the European Union along with particular nations that did not support GMO crops be penalized.
