"And while the niggers of the world are starving with their mouths wide open! What is it that turns the coins we throw at them into worthless little tokens? Why is it, that anything on this Earth we do not understand, We are pushed onto our knees to worship or to damn?" --The The "The Violence of Truth" In many ways the ultrawealthy are changing us all into "the niggers of the world." That article "Divisions Deep Over Claims Of Jewish Influence" (at http://tbrnews.org) was pretty supportive (in a forced neutral manner) of anti-Semitic bullshit. The word "nigger" would be a meaningless descriptive if it hadn't been so demonized by the PC crowd and allowed the ignorant who use it as a pejorative a reason to further increase its negative power. At this point in time "black" has somehow become a "bad word." I think the problem is that people (including you, Thrash) feel it necessary to separate people into Jews, Niggers, Spics, Towelheads, Mudpeople, Democrats, Republicans, Tories, Gypsies... instead of realizing there are only two kinds of people: The powerful and the powerless. One's state may change moment to moment (your unshaven neighbor is the powerful when he beats his wife but he is the powerless when he takes his paycheck from his boss's fat fingers, and his boss is powerful at work but powerless when he tries to get a small loan to expand his business while the banker is powerful unless he is dealing with a corporate CEO that can basically tell him to stand on his head and eat shit if he wants) but as individuals we are nothing under the heels of the superwealthy. As long as you allow yourselves to be divided into small competing groups you loose. When you point a finger at "Jews" you get ground beneath a bulldozer, when you point a finger at the World Bank you get thrown out of a helicopter, when you point your finger at NAFTA and the Whitehouse you become a "suspect" and suddenly your career is fucked and the instant you break any law you're nailed. In the US the least powerful don't need to worry since they so rarely can think independently enough to drag their fat ass from the couch to the car to McDonald's and back that the chances of them actually rising up against injustice is non-existent. Religion may be the opiate of the masses but television is the morphine of the massive Americans.

Someone posted the transcript of him speaking but the questions at the end are as powerful as the rest. Of course Clear Channel and the major TV networks didn't broadcast a word of this. Only on C-Span). www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead. Watch your overcoat. "Dissent is what rescues democracy from a slow death behind closed doors." -Lewis H. Lapham
