Dr. Chancellor Williams Since Chancellor was blind, Oggi became his eyes and Chancellor became a mentor who shared his wisdom and historical perspective. He documented this remarkable experience with photographs and audiotapes that provide an intimate glimpse of Dr. Williams life during this period.

Pop or Soda? Why Region Is More Important Than You Think Where you live in the United States determines a hell of a lot more than whether 'coke' means Coca-Cola or 'every single carbonated beverage.' It can also mean the difference between sauce on your pizza or nothing, the difference between honor killings or, uh, not honor killings, the difference between a time machine and an ... ATM? On today's podcast Cracked editors Jack O'Brien, Kristi Harrison and Jason Pargin discuss America's crazy regional differences, and talk with Colin Woodard (author of 'American Nations') about his claim that the fifty American states are actually eleven distinct nations. Americans - Like Nazi Germans - Don't Notice That All Of Our Rights Are Slipping Away Americans Are Acting Like Slowly Boiling Frogs In the classic history of Nazi Germany, They Thought They Were Free, Milton Mayer writes: “What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security. The German citizens were boiling frogs … the water heating up so gradually that they didn’t realize they had to jump out of the pot to safety. First Amendment The 1st Amendment protects speech, religion, assembly and the press: For example, the following actions may get an American citizen living on U.S. soil labeled as a “suspected terrorist” today: And holding the following beliefs may also be considered grounds for suspected terrorism:
Black Panthers: Assassinated by the State - The Federally Sanctioned Murder of Fred Hampton " ... a much-needed corrective to a badly distorted mainstream narrative of a key event in the history of the left and African-American politics of the late ’60s ... It is now clear that Hampton and Clark were victims of a plot hatched by the FBI and executed by the Cook County State’s Attorney and Chicago police officers. Nonetheless, conventional wisdom portrays the Panthers as the villains. ... This book should alter the conventional wisdom that the Panthers were a dangerous threat that the police had to eliminate at all costs . By Salim MuwakkilIn These Times | November 25, 2009 Street door to the Black Panthers’ headquarters after the October 1969 police raid It’s clear that Hoover’s designation of the Panthers as ‘the greatest threat to the internal security of the country’ provided law enforcement with a virtual license to kill. But Haas also offers captivating details that add color and context to those turbulent times. The first Panther office opened in Chicago in November 1968.
Bohemianism This use of the word bohemian first appeared in the English language in the nineteenth century[1] to describe the non-traditional lifestyles of marginalized and impoverished artists, writers, journalists, musicians, and actors in major European cities. Bohemians were associated with unorthodox or anti-establishment political or social viewpoints, which often were expressed through free love, frugality, and—in some cases—voluntary poverty. A wealthy and privileged, even aristocratic, bohemian circle is sometimes referred to as the haute bohème[2] ("high bohemians").[3] The term Bohemianism emerged in France in the early nineteenth century when artists and creators began to concentrate in the lower-rent, lower class, gypsy neighborhoods. Bohémien was a common term for the Romani people of France, who had been wrongly considered to reach France during the 15th century via Bohemia,[4] at that time the only protestant and therefore heretic country among Western Christians.

A pro-liberty approach to lawmaking The candid truth is that a great many — if not most — existing laws and proposed pieces of legislation are incompatible with a free society. How can we know if a law promotes liberty or enhances the power of the state? What standard must a law meet to satisfy the freedom-oriented crowd? Indeed, advocates of a free society should be the last, most apprehensive individuals to convince that a new law is justified. As such, the following point should be emphasized: With any piece of legislation, always begin with a default position of “no.” Police State USA has formulated a series of rigorous checks to help determine whether a proposal is compatible with the interests of a free society. To weed out the unnecessary, unsustainable, unconstitutional, unjust, unreadable laws, I propose that ALL of the following statements should be true of a proposal before a pro-liberty individual considers endorsing it: 1. A government must never be allowed to become lawless and without limitations. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Most of you have no idea what Martin Luther King actually did I remember that many years ago, when I was a smartass home from first year of college, I was standing in the kitchen arguing with my father. My head was full of newly discovered political ideologies and black nationalism, and I had just read the Autobiography of Malcolm X, probably for the second time. A bit of context. My father was from a background, which if we were talking about Europe or Latin America, we would call, "peasant" origin, although he had risen solidly into the working-middle class. They lived in a valley or hollow or "holler" in which all the landowners and tenants were black. On the one hand, this was a pleasant situation because they lived in isolation from white people. Anyway, that's background. So anyway, I was having this argument with my father about Martin Luther King and how his message was too conservative compared to Malcolm X's message. Before I tell you what my father told me, I want to digress. My father told me with a sort of cold fury, "Dr. So yes, Dr.
Praxis (process) Praxis is the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, practiced, embodied, or realised. "Praxis" may also refer to the act of engaging, applying, exercising, realizing, or practicing ideas. This has been a recurrent topic in the field of philosophy, discussed in the writings of Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Immanuel Kant, Søren Kierkegaard, Karl Marx, Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, Paulo Freire, Ludwig von Mises, and many others. It has meaning in the political, educational, and spiritual realms. In Ancient Greek the word praxis (πρᾶξις) referred to activity engaged in by free men. The 19th century socialist Antonio Labriola called Marxism the Philosophy of praxis. Georg Lukács held that the task of political organization is to establish professional discipline over everyday political praxis, consciously designing the form of mediation best suited to clear interactions between theory and practice.
