  Having just completed a 2500 mile road trip where we consulted with occupy groups between Washington DC and New Orleans, here's the best information I can give you on the progress of Keystone XL Pipeline right now (and no, I don't care who might be reading this)... I've contacted well over a hundred groups and, although only ten percent have responded directly, support for this idea is consistent across the nation. In fact, I've only come across one dissenter so far, but I'm not so sure how objective that opinion was since it was offered by a member of a family that has owned a pipe manufacturing business for generations and who views oil itself as 'liquid sunshine'. Aside from that mole, everyone else has been supportive, and a few GA's have already endorsed this initiative (Occupy Phoenix and Seattle have reached consensus, plus I got implied approval from a few of the groups we visited during our little tour). Something I not only appreciate but understand as vital to the success of this mission. So I again request champions for this cause who will take the idea to your local GA's to gauge your occupy's interest in taking the fight to our oily enemies - the elite have much to be defensive about, all we need to do is press them so they expose their own hypocrisy, so it's time we put them on their heels. Now, as far as direct action goes, my information says that construction of the pipeline will not begin until late May at the earliest because of permit issues and so forth. Also, Keystone will be unable to pressure test their new pipelines for as long as drought conditions exist in and around Texas and Oklahoma. All of which means construction of the XL Pipeline probably will not start until July or August. And as it would not be in our best interest to arrive for a major protest before construction begins since the Canadian company running this bullshit dog and pony show could always delay construction to frustrate our efforts and exhaust our limited resources, I am setting August First as our target date for arriving in the areas we seek to protect. I am currently in contact with someone who knows where five of the construction sites will be in Texas, know Occupy Tulsa is planning to move on the filth-peddlers in their area in the near future, and am aware that other organizations nationwide are considering or proposing their own actions to disrupt XL. I shall be conducting outreach with them over the next few weeks. So, what I'm asking of you specifically is to seek an endorsement for this action from your GA if your group has not already done so, determine who if anyone from your occupy would like to join us on August First, and start making plans for how to get to the southern heartland of our country so we can demonstrate the solidarity and cohesion the corporate media consistently says we lack. I should have another update for you within a few weeks. And any information you could send my way would be much appreciated, particularly if your are or have been pursuing your own line of attack for the XL Pipeline. We have friends everywhere. This is simply a matter of bringing a sizable hunk of us together to stand up for a better world, so any initiatives anyone wants to pursue would also be greatly appreciated. Peace. 2 months

  DEBT REBELLION They say "you shouldn't have spent the money in the first place." They say "you're stealing unless you pay the banks back." They say "this isn't what the Occupy movement is about." Maybe they're right, maybe we should have just killed ourselves rather than accruing debt paying for ever more expensive housing, bass boats, health care, education. And maybe they're right -- maybe the Occupy movement isn't about liberation. Maybe it's just a spectacle, a circus to amuse the masses and the elites alike -- or maybe it's just another reformist ploy to get the 61% to sweep a few more crumbs down to us off their banquet table. Probably not. OCCUPY THE EARTH But it doesn't have to be. Occupy doesn't just have to seek a slight decrease in the wealth and power held by the current 31%. We could seek to create a new society where there are no elites at all. The 61% are a lot smarter than us, and they do certainly deserve to make decisions for us and to take a bigger share of everything. To get where they are, the 61% and their ancestors used to to bully and trick people, and in some cases kill or murder them but that is certainly not the case now. OR IT WILL BE A PRISON PLANET The capitalist society of the 61% functions on cycles of boom and bust, and it always will until the final bust -- which could come very soon, or it could come a little later when the ecology of the planet has been even further degraded. In the meantime, not only are we all enslaved working to pay debts to them -- in the U.S. 2.4 million of us are in their prisons, and 1 out of 33 of the population is either in jail, prison, probation or parole. And with the increased infiltration of computer surveillance into our lives, it's not just the people in our penal institutions or our inner city ghettoes who live under the martial law of a police state -- it's all of the U.S., and increasingly, the planet. ANOTHER WORLD IS STILL POSSIBLE But we don't have to live this way. Another world is possible, one where everyone has food, colorful tie dyed clothing, housing, health care, dignified work making bongs and simple musical instruments and a place in a functioning community. But we'll never get there unless we want it, unless we try to make it real. We need to foment not just debt rebellion, but a total social revolution, to a world without masters or bosses, without debt and wage slavery and we can live in a new world just like a great big freakin' renaissance faire. WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT? We want a new world, and we invite you to join us. Declare debt rebellion on July 4th, and get together with your friends, family and neighbor to talk about how you can build a new society without debt, without elites, without prisons, without masters and bosses. Just put all your crap from China you haven't paid for our on the lawn so they can take it away and let's build this thing together! 1 month

  http://brechtforum.org/civicrm/event/info?id=12213&reset=1 BRECHT FORUM 451 West Street (between Bank & Bethune Streets, New York, NY 10014 Phone: (212) 242-4201 - Email: brechtforum at brechtforum.org Co-sponsor: ROAR! (Reaching Out for Animal Rights!) http://www.goroar.org/ May 14th, 2012 7:00 PM Making Links: How Sausages Are Made (and why veganism is a better way to go) David Nibert, Adam Weissman, Mickey Z. & Others TBA What we choose to eat (and wear) has an impact far beyond each of us as individuals. This discussion--the first in a series--will look at the societal underpinnings of the commodification of sentient beings; the commonality of oppressions (age-ism, homophobia, racism, sexism, xenophobia and species-ism); and where veganism, animal rights and the politics of food intersect. David Nibert is Professor of Sociology at Wittenberg University where he teaches Animals and Society, Global Change, Social Stratification, Minority Groups, and Law and Society. He has worked as a tenant organizer, as a community activist, and in the prevention of mistreatment and violence against devalued groups. He is the author of Animal Rights/Human Rights: Entanglements of Oppression and Liberation (Rowman/Littlefield), Hitting the Lottery Jackpot: State Governments and the Taxing of Dreams (Monthly Review Press) and Animal Oppression and Human Violence: Domesecration, Capitalism and Global Conflict (forthcoming, Columbia University Press). His research interests include the historical and contemporary entanglement of the oppression of humans and other animals. Adam Weissman works with Global Justice for Animals and the Environment opposing trade agreements that endanger animals, the environment, food safety, and the human rights of communities on the frontlines of environmental struggles. He also works with TradeJustice NY Metro, a coalition of diverse social movement organizations united in opposition to NAFTA-style trade agreements. In two decades of activism, he has worked with numerous organizations including the Wetlands Activism Collective, Global Sweatshop Coalition, A for Anarchy, Freegan.info, Rainforest Action Network, Wildlife Watch, the War Resisters League (both at the national level and via its northern NJ local), The National Child Rights Alliance, the Animal Issues and Trade Justice working groups of Occupy Wall Street, and many others. Born and raised in Astoria, Queens, Mickey Z. is probably the only person on the planet to have appeared in a political book with Noam Chomsky and a karate flick with Billy "Tae Bo" Blanks. He is a vegan since 1995 and the author of 11 books...one of which, "Self Defense for Radicals," will be available for sale. Howard Zinn called Mickey Z. "Iconoclastic and bold." Ned Vizzini says, "Its easy to talk about punk rock writing, but Mickey Z. really does write as if he doesnt give a fuck but knows what must be said" while Sander Hicks asks, "How can someone be so sweet but yet so fierce?" When he's not writing books, taking photos, giving talks, or conjuring up haiku, Mickey Z. is busy doing his part to bring sexy back to radical activism.

  Having just completed a 2500 mile road trip where we consulted with occupy groups between Washington DC and New Orleans, here's the best information I can give you on the progress of Keystone XL Pipeline right now (and no, I don't care who might be reading this)... I've contacted well over a hundred groups and, although only ten percent have responded directly, support for this idea is consistent across the nation. In fact, I've only come across one dissenter so far, but I'm not so sure how objective that opinion was since it was offered by a member of a family that has owned a pipe manufacturing business for generations and who views oil itself as 'liquid sunshine'. Aside from that mole, everyone else has been supportive, and a few GA's have already endorsed this initiative (Occupy Phoenix and Seattle have reached consensus, plus I got implied approval from a few of the groups we visited during our little tour). Something I not only appreciate but understand as vital to the success of this mission. So I again request champions for this cause who will take the idea to your local GA's to gauge your occupy's interest in taking the fight to our oily enemies - the elite have much to be defensive about, all we need to do is press them so they expose their own hypocrisy, so it's time we put them on their heels. Now, as far as direct action goes, my information says that construction of the pipeline will not begin until late May at the earliest because of permit issues and so forth. Also, Keystone will be unable to pressure test their new pipelines for as long as drought conditions exist in and around Texas and Oklahoma. All of which means construction of the XL Pipeline probably will not start until July or August. And as it would not be in our best interest to arrive for a major protest before construction begins since the Canadian company running this bullshit dog and pony show could always delay construction to frustrate our efforts and exhaust our limited resources, I am setting August First as our target date for arriving in the areas we seek to protect. I am currently in contact with someone who knows where five of the construction sites will be in Texas, know Occupy Tulsa is planning to move on the filth-peddlers in their area in the near future, and am aware that other organizations nationwide are considering or proposing their own actions to disrupt XL.

  Like us ON FB https://www.facebook.com/OccupyTheFED.Boston The purpose of the Occupy The FED Boston movement is to focus the attention of the 99% movement towards the head of the snake, the Federal Reserve System _-We are a Constitutional Republic Pro America Movement -_ The Federal Reserve system is a cartel of private banks that use the Fed and their "inside men" the treasury secretary and Fed Chair to control Congress, disenfranchising the voice of the 99%. If we cut off the root, the Federal Reserve we can solve our economic and political problems. First by instituting a truly free market rather than the centrally planned economy we currently operate in. The Federal Reserve is the Cause of our Economic Crisis The Fed, our nation's PRIVATE central bank, has put our once prosperous nation at the doorstep of a terrible depression. Created by some of the richest bankers in the world in 1913, it has the right to print U.S. currency at its own discretion, and play with the American economy in any way it likes, all without any accountability to Congress or the people. In fact our own congress does not even have the RIGHT to make the Fed disclose where it spends the Trillions of dollars which they, the private banking elite, are legally allowed to print. With literal access to our country's money printing presses, is it any surprise that the 1% have gotten richer and richer as the working poor struggle to educate their children and provide food and basic medical care for their families? While our government claims it must impose austerity measures on the working class because it is too broke, it is very literally providing trillions in welfare to the mega-rich. 1 week

  We need to abolish the electoral college, but not enough Americans know about it! Protest with me on Election day to raise awareness of the travesty that is the Electoral college. I'm only 15.

I've contacted well over a hundred groups and, although only ten percent have responded directly, support for this idea is consistent across the nation. In fact, I've only come across one dissenter so far, but I'm not so sure how objective that opinion was since it was offered by a member of a family that has owned a pipe manufacturing business for generations and who views oil itself as 'liquid sunshine'. Aside from that mole, everyone else has been supportive, and a few GA's have already endorsed this initiative (Occupy Phoenix and Seattle have reached consensus, plus I got implied approval from a few of the groups we visited during our little tour). Something I not only appreciate but understand as vital to the success of this mission. So I again request champions for this cause who will take the idea to your local GA's to gauge your occupy's interest in taking the fight to our oily enemies - the elite have much to be defensive about, all we need to do is press them so they expose their own hypocrisy, so it's time we put them on their heels. Now, as far as direct action goes, my information says that construction of the pipeline will not begin until late May at the earliest because of permit issues and so forth. Also, Keystone will be unable to pressure test their new pipelines for as long as drought conditions exist in and around Texas and Oklahoma. All of which means construction of the XL Pipeline probably will not start until July or August. And as it would not be in our best interest to arrive for a major protest before construction begins since the Canadian company running this bullshit dog and pony show could always delay construction to frustrate our efforts and exhaust our limited resources, I am setting August First as our target date for arriving in the areas we seek to protect. I am currently in contact with someone who knows where five of the construction sites will be in Texas, know Occupy Tulsa is planning to move on the filth-peddlers in their area in the near future, and am aware that other organizations nationwide are considering or proposing their own actions to disrupt XL. I shall be conducting outreach with them over the next few weeks. So, what I'm asking of you specifically is to seek an endorsement for this action from your GA if your group has not already done so, determine who if anyone from your occupy would like to join us on August First, and start making plans for how to get to the southern heartland of our country so we can demonstrate the solidarity and cohesion the corporate media consistently says we lack. I should have another update for you within a few weeks. And any information you could send my way would be much appreciated, particularly if your are or have been pursuing your own line of attack for the XL Pipeline. We have friends everywhere. This is simply a matter of bringing a sizable hunk of us together to stand up for a better world, so any initiatives anyone wants to pursue would also be greatly appreciated. Peace. 2 months

  This is the mother of all Globalism conferences! Chicago will be on lock-down when this meeting takes place in May. Regardless we have a right to free speech, and we have a right to peacefully assemble! I suggest make this a festive atmosphere with lots of props to reassure a commitment to non-violence. "There is a lot at stake, and therefore there will be a lot of dedicated and smart people directing their attention in how to make this event a success, and making it a success means making the event uneventful," said Loyola University's Dr. Arthur Lurigio.
