Paradigm Subversion

Of course a big part of decolonization is getting folks to realize that they have inherited a colonial system.

How can we get through the mounting crises, ecological and economic, in a time of political conflict and confusion? We believe we provide solid, unique answers, based on reaction so far to these articles:

Q:
Once you became "Judith Butler," we began to hear more about Jews and Jewish texts. People came to hear you speak about gender and suddenly they were faced with Gaza, divine violence. It almost felt like you had some closure on the previous matter. Is there a connection, a continuum, or is this a new phase?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Occupy Wall Street movement is a big enough problem for U.S. banks that they should pay for opposition research into the political motives of protesters, said a firm that lobbies for the industry.

Clark Lytle Geduldig & Cranford, a Washington-based firm, proposed the idea in a memo to the American Banking Association, an industry group which said on Saturday that it did not act on the idea.

The four-page memo outlined how the firm could analyze the source of protesters' money, as well as their rhetoric and the backgrounds of protest leaders.

A national group with ties to Homeland Security helped paln the Occupy Oakland busts

As cities across America evict encampments of the Occupy Wall Street movement, similarities of timing, talking points and tactics among major metropolitan mayors and police chiefs have led critics to wonder: Is some sort of national coordination going on?

In light of the brutal death and destruction wrought on Libya by the relentless US/NATO bombardment, the professed claims of "humanitarian concerns" as grounds for intervention can readily be dismissed as a blatantly specious imperialist ploy in pursuit of "regime change" in that country.

Does this make you feel better about society and the economy, or not?

I can't stand it that we can't do anything about these creeps operating cloaked in a US flag. Very few in this country dare even fess-up to the truth of how incredibly bad this agency has been from the beginning in 1947. This is the first I've heard of Obama's CIA connection. Doesn't it figure...

On September 14, Karl Rove was speaking in Washington DC at a luncheon
for the American College of Cardiology. When Rove started his speech,
CODEPINK burst into the luncheon room. With handcuffs raised, they
called for a citizen's arrest and read the charges against him.
