THE OBAMA DECEPTION is an interesting documentary that focuses in on the new Prez and the fact that he is a puppet for multi-national corporations that want to create a new world order. The film explores the various snakes within Washington that are selling snake oil to the American public. It also highlights the other side of the spectrum and interviews activists who are really trying to incur positive change without a fancy ad campaign by OBEY to rally support..
The time has come to stop relying on politicians. If you want to ignite change start by voting with your pocketbook.
The Front Man
The Situationist International Documentary
The famed Situationist International was a group of revolutionaries founded in 1957 and dissolved in 1972. The groups members were heavily influenced by Marxism and the artistic avant-gardes ideals of 20th century Europe. The modus operandi advocated by the founders was experiences of life being alternative to those being admitted by a Capitalistic Order, for the fulfillment of human desires and the pursuing of a superior passional quality. To attain these means they suggested and experimented with the construction of situations, mainly the setting up of environments favorable for the fulfillment of such desires. The group fought against the main obstacle stopping the fulfillment of such superior passional living, advanced capitalism. One of the main theorists in the group, Guy Debord, argued in 1967 that spectacular features like mass media and advertising have a central role in the advanced capitalist society, which is to show a fake reality in order to mask the capitalist degradation of human life. The Situationist International movement has influenced many aspencts of culture and politics in the USA and Europe. Many modern day Leftists, Communists, Anarchists are influenced by SI concepts. One of the SI concepts called Psychogeography is loosley translated to "a whole toy box full of playful, inventive strategies for exploring cities...just about anything that takes pedestrians off their predictable paths and jolts them into a new awareness of the urban landscape." This idea makes me wonder if skateboarding and other urban sports were directly influenced by SI concepts. The SI ideals is even said to have influenced the punk rock phenomenon of the 1970s..Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord is one of the more notable books that delves into the principles of the movement. It has gained widespread recognition and is worth reading...The group also advocated spraying graffiti, drawing comics and making movies to get their messages across to the masses...

C.I.A (Criminals In Action) found Guilty of TORTURE
An Eyetalian judge Oscar Magi has convicted 23 US secret agents over the 2003 abduction and 4 year torture of an Egyptian imam named Abu Omar. This conviction and trial is the 1st in the world to center on the agencies controversial program called extraordinary rendition. This rendition gives the CIA the right to arrest suspected "terrorists" and transfer them to countries known to practise torture. Of the 23 Americans convicted, 22 were sentenced to 5 years in prison while the agency's former station chief in Milan, Robert Seldon Lady, was convicted to 8 years. All of the Americans, however, were tried in absentia. Read more on this article at TIME..Finally, those secret SOBs are getting some much needed Karma...

Reading is Fundamental!
Here is an excerpt from the introduction: Steal This Book is, in a way, a manual of survival in the prison that is Amerika. It preaches jailbreak. It shows you where exactly how to place the dynamite that will destroy the walls. The first section-SURVIVE!-lays out a potential action program for our new Nation. The chapter headings spell out the demands for a free society. A community where the technology produces goods and services for whoever needs them, come who may. It calls on the Robin Hoods of Santa Barbara Forest to steal from the robber barons who own the castles of capitalism. It implies that the reader already is "ideologically set," in that he understands corporate feudalism as the only robbery worthy of being called "crime," for it is committed against the people as a whole. Whether the ways it describes to rip-off shit are legal or illegal is irrelevant. The dictionary of law is written by the bosses of order. Our moral dictionary says no heisting from each other. To steal from a brother or sister is evil. To not steal from the institutions that are the pillars of the Pig Empire is equally immoral.
You can steal and read the online version right here..Drink from the fountain of knowledge my BB readers..
