Crying Eagle | 6 Reasons I Cry For This Great Country
I am the Crying Eagle, you know me. You see me on the back of pickup trucks all across our great nation. I'm on roadside billboards in the true heart of America like rural Indiana. I am the symbol of freedom, and my heart is broken. Through the eighties I cried every time one of those liberal feminists got an abortion. Now I cry for far more. I [...]
Playing the Race Card, Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and Immigration
We all know those cartoons and drawings from Nazi Germany, and how they depicted the Jewish people, often offensive and shocking. What about how the U.S. depicted the Japanese, most specifically in one superman cartoon where our hero of the red white and blue wailed on the 'evil japs'. We see how these images shaped nations and aided in the [...]
Social Justice, Stateless Societies, and Hooey.
In wars, victories are often incremental rather than total. We progress victory by victory towards an end result which is far better than our starting point, but we entertain no delusion if we are to be successful: victories are rarely if ever total and complete. Our enemies evolve, push back, and human history is a testament to how foes once [...]
Social Justice in a Stateless Society
How do we even begin to address social Justice in a stateless society? We do it through direct action not political action. Something like social justice is vast and many changes and issues need to be addressed. Is there a final point to reach? Will the work ever be done? The state has failed to eliminate racism, sexism and other forms of [...]
Byrd is the word.
Dropping off the radar is some what of a cathartic exercise for me. I cease to respond to the reality at hand if it is outside of my purview, which allows me to concentrate on pressing personal matters which must be attended to. Fortunately all of that is wrapped up now and I have a little more time to get back into commenting on current events [...]
The Drug War And Illegal Immigration
Governor Brewer of Arizona is on her xenophobic high horse again. This recent article at CNN was brought to my attention in which she was quoted saying: "The simple truth is that the majority of human smuggling in our state is under the direction of the drug cartels, which are by definition smuggling drugs," Brewer's statement said, according to [...]
Anarchists seek to ‘demystify’ their belief in public forum
SANTA CRUZ - Feeling misunderstood after police blamed anarchists for the May 1 riot downtown, a group of anti-establishment thinkers hosted a free forum Thursday to "demystify" what defines their beliefs. The speakers said doing away with government, police, military, capitalism and other institutions of power would help to eliminate class [...]
Statism and Myth as a Tool of Survival and Perpetuation Part V: Towards Perfectability and Utopia or, Aiming for the Stars and Winding Up in Ghettos and Gulags
“...and it should be possible to design a world in which behavior likely to be punished seldom or never occurs. We try to design such a world for those who cannot solve the problem of punishment for themselves, such as babies, retardates, or psychotics, and if it could be done for everyone, much time and energy would be saved.” -Skinner, [...]
White Flight Levittown Suburban Segregation
The highway acts of the 50's and 60's and neighborhood building restrictions were perfectly timed with the civil rights movement to create modern segregation. I live in Scarritt Renaissance an older area of Northeast Kansas City. The neighborhood is often known in the suburbs as an area of prostitution and drugs. Many suburbanites have a [...]
Illegal is the New Nigger
"Illegal" is the new "Nigger". It should be treated as such. People will react in shock and become offended when they hear the latter. When "Illegal" is used it is accepted. We must change the way we perceive the word, the way we react. This will have an impact on the prejudice we embrace. Words are used to dehumanize a population of [...]
