"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" -- George Orwell
=
"Every
ambitious would-be empire clarions it abroad that she is conquering
the world to bring it peace, security and freedom, and is sacrificing
her sons only for the most noble and humanitarian purposes. That is a
lie, and it is an ancient lie, yet generations still rise and believe
it! ...
If
America ever does seek Empire, and most nations do, then planned
reforms in our domestic life will be abandoned, States Rights will be
abolished -- in order to impose a centralized government upon us for
the purpose of internal repudiation of freedom, and adventures abroad.
The
American Dream will then die -- on battlefields all over the world --
and a nation conceived in liberty will destroy liberty for Americans
and impose tyranny on subject nations."
George S. Boutwell - (1818-1905)
American statesman, Secretary of the Treasury under President Ulysses
S. Grant, Governor of Massachusetts, Senator and Representative from
Massachusetts

Take The Pledge
"I
pledge that if any U.S. troops, contractors, or mercenaries remain in
Afghanistan on Thursday, October 6, 2011, as that occupation goes into
its 11th year, I will commit to being in Freedom Plaza in Washington,
D.C., with others on that day or the days immediately following, for as
long as I can, with the intention of making it our Tahrir Square,
Cairo, our Madison, Wisconsin, where we will NONVIOLENTLY resist the
corporate machine by occupying Freedom Plaza until our resources are
invested in human needs and environmental protection instead of war and
exploitation. We can do this together. We will be the beginning."
