National Socialism Wins When Socialism is Abandoned

From Songwriter's Notebook: What Just Happened:

"I was here in Portland, Oregon when Obama won in 2008.  Me and my two-year-old daughter were hanging out in a pub, listening to our favorite local band (the Pagan Jug Band).  The pub and the streets of Portland around it were full of celebration..."

The science is settled. No new pipelines, no new permits, no new exploration, no more excuses. We call on world leaders to end all new fossil fuel development and immediately begin to support the managed decline of the fossil fuel industry.

DISOBEDIENCE
Hej där, alla mysiga pissa-på-sig-människor!

Hoppas ni har en trevlig Första Maj - dagen då vi faktiskt hyllar konceptet civil olydnad.

Så, alla ni nyttiga idioter som inte firar vår största och enda egentliga högtid värd namnet - hav förtröstan!

För här kommer en sprillans ny, väl passande liten rulle ni kan använda i ett självterapeutiskt (sannolikt tröstlöst) försök att väcka de få aktiva synapser ni har kvar i skallen.

Jag vet, det är skitjobbigt.

Men, om det hos några få av er triggar ett litet frö av förståelse och insikt att liknelsen ”att pissa ner sig” i det här fallet är vad vi sysslar med i global skala - då är det mödan värt de 40 minuter ni måste ”slösa” på något så jobbigt som att tänka till en stund.

Det där gamla talande piss-ordspråket säger att det ju är varmt och gosigt i början, men mindre trevligt en stund senare…

Hoppas några får en vidrig, äcklad och permanent eftersmak i käften och vill göra något åt den. Ni kan börja kika lite här:
https://breakfree2016.org

och naturligtvis här för lite mer om filmen:
http://watchdisobedience.com

Kom ihåg att ingen kan göra allt men alla kan göra något.

Till er andra - på med blöjan igen. Ni kommer behöva den.

See you in the streets.

If Clinton's a Progressive...

"Hillary Clinton has a clear political record: she is pro-war, and pro-business, and anti-human."

— David Rovics





Lyrics:



It's election time again and the battle's pretty tight

On the left is Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump is on the right

On the Democratic ticket there's a struggle for the base

And Hillary is showing her most progressive face

She says we know she's an outsider because she's female

But if Clinton's a progressive then I'm a killer whale



She'll take on the banks, she says, if we let her run the nation

But this is the woman who voted for deregulation

Now she says the TPP should be summarily aborted

But every trade deal heretofore she's actively supported

If she felt that way before then why wait so long to tell us?

If Clinton's a progressive then I'm Wynton Marsalis



Service to the people has always been her mission

That's why she's always striven to send so many of them to prison

She lobbied for the crime bill, she lobbied to gut welfare

Now she emerges from her mansion to pretend she really cares

I guess she figures if she lies enough folks will eventually believe her

But if Clinton's a progressive then I'm a Golden Retriever



If I were a gambler I'd bet you my John Thomas

That this deceptive politician will go back on every promise

I'd love to elect a woman, but not just anyone's daughter

Though I'd happily vote for Cynthia McKinney or Maxine Waters

But I'll be damned if I must choose between two more plutocrats

If Clinton's a progressive then I am Bill the Cat

Making A Killing: Guns, Greed & the NRA

This film is taking on the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the gun manufacturers, the most feared special interest group in the USA.



Their reluctance to allow for safe gun policies has helped create a 6 billion dollar a year industry and leaves 80 Americans dead from guns - daily.



For too long the debate on guns has focused on the rights of corporate partners funding the NRA over the rights of everyone else to feel and be safe in their communities.
