George Washington was an "insurgent"

(The image bellow is guerilla warfare in the revolutionary war.)
If you pay attention to the propaganda surrounding you everyday you may wonder why some people in struggles are called such hateful things as "insurgents" and "militants" while others are referred to nicely as "peacekeepers" or simply "forces." Well the truth is that there is really no difference. Its all about the slant. Great Britain called the founding Fathers "rebels," and "Agitators." The media uses "slant words" to portray the side they favor (Israel, USA, Etc) as defenders of the peace when almost all the time they are the opposite. If I was asked to name the most dangerous militant group in the word it would be The "Good" ol' USA. Really war is just terrorism with better funding. The poor "murder", the rich "assassinate." The Yippies "agitated", Amerikkka "Rescued." "Zing Heil Marines, Zing Heil Amerikkka, Zing Heil the feudal system of the schools, Zing Heil murder, Zing Heil invasion, Zing Heil fascism!"

Quotes 4


The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
-Albert Einstein
.
Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.
-Blaise Pascal
.
Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.
-Oscar Wilde
.
"Rise up and abandon the creeping meatball!"
-Yippies
.
Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand; it never has and it never will.
-Frederick Douglass
.
"A society which suppresses adventure makes the only adventure the suppression of that society."
-Jerry Rubin
.
"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation."
— Henry David Thoreau

Chicago 10

http://watch-movies.net/movies/chicago_10/

I just finished watching this film and I really liked it. I think that the use of animation to convey the trial transcripts is genius. It really makes you think about the activism of the 60s and the fascism that can come out of this system. The above link is to a site that you can view this great movie, and in true Yippie spirit it's free to watch it at this site.
