Revolutionary Quotes
So they could be remembered in the long hours that precede a
revolution. They are the light that kindle fires... "Political Freedom without economic equality is a pretense, a fraud, a lie; and the workers want no lying." Mikhail Bakunin "There go my people, I must find out where they are going so I can lead them." Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/au...l_bakunin.html The last one is a bit confusing, but there's not much time left for reason. This is often said of cyclists: "There's nothing to lose but your chain." I propose we adopt the Dutch model in the meantime. "We must give back to the poor their most valuable possession: dignity" -I thought about it while riding a bike. The driver shouted "mother****er" at us for slowing him down. Hey, IT'S OK TO RIDE A BIKE. We rode a bike out of choice but that's beyond the point. Under the revolution YOU CAN HAVE CHOICES. --------------------------------------------------------------------- http://webspawner.com/users/BANANAREVOLUTION |

To the topic Monkey, consider this recent dialogue between myself and my New York "special programs counterpart" and pay particular attention to the second half. I mean what is it about America that it is so ****ed up that it actually believes this is their decision and within their power? : Yan Ack : Democracy has made protests futile. Tim Harris : Exactly Yan. I do not know what the stats are in the US but here in Canada the increasing trend is not voting. The democratic populous is exercising their democratic right not to vote at an astounding 75%! The idea however, the question as ...it is a protest, is that how can a democratic country have democratic representation that represent only 20% of the democratic body and when further broken down, a governing party that only represents 56% of the 20%... and yet, business goes on as normal. Is that democracy Yan? Or are we only a few points away from anarchy? That is what is funny about anarchy and revolutions Yan. All those people in power now, the status quo, are taught to believe they are the power when in fact, they "are" the power now that gets "destroyed" in the event of a reformation. And among those 75% we affectionately call The Kingdom, you can be certain there is bad blood somewhere so no, I do not see this as being a strictly Kingdom vs. the Government situatuion. Oh yeah, as an added statistic, of those 20% that do vote, they are old time seniors (the boomers don't vote), first time voters (yeah I can drink and vote I love being 21)... and, you guessed it, government employees. Yan : even if two ppl voted , it would be enough so i guess, democracy is safe for now. it's the ppl who are losing. Btw, aren't we always losing to robotic institutions or laws that we bring into place in the first place ? we make a law or we make a thing called democracy and before long we find ourselves in its jaws. We make the 'isms' that become our frankensteins. Tim : Well, the statistics do support your if two ppl voted it would be enough however I would not be so quick to suggest it is safe or democracy... especially in a country like the US where children are bred and programed from the time they hit kindergarten to kill for words like democracy and freedom. The lion tamers are trained to show no fear, they think it fools the beasts they have created and apparently tamed... without fear they are never conscious of the day when their wild things decide to attack, To the second point. Yes. But Yan, those Laws and Robotic Institutions are not made for the democracy they are made by and for individuals thus are designed to be exceptions to the laws since according to your own constitutional material we are all equal, one nation and indivisible,... the Laws you are referring to... are they the Laws that reflect the nation? Yan : all western ppl are 'inquisitorial' by nature. They're all little Torquemadas. It's so endemic there's no point any more blaming only the govt for being so, every single citizen at heart is censorious of anything that crosses his views, has become so, the disease is rampant and one sees no end in sight. What men do is,, the moment they see an aberration of human behaviour, they rush to create a law that will seemingly shut it down, they think it's one of the many laws on the road to utopia and perfect humans who will not fight, kill, sell drugs etc and thus its down the road to roboticism. HERE IS THE HIGHLIGHT MONKEY:: Tim : Perhaps Yan. But in the end, after countless generations of war isn't that what we all kind of want even if it is just a 20 year vacation? The men you mention above are not as much a problem as those who pull power in the face of the democracy and in spite of even their own science chose to not turn the at least 70% plus oil based economy in a different direction. You, we, have no next phase, no back up plan. And let us not forget the US' second largest industry War. Remove those from your economy and you are nothing more than a third world nation. With a debt. A global debt. Not just money which can be printed like baseball cards, but resources... lives and an outstanding bill for justice. I read a scientific article a couple of years ago that is from outside the media wall (although I suspect the authenticity based on the newness of extremeness of the article) that states european scientists have determined that the American "idea" that the world needs to reduce its population to 2B is false. In fact, they say, if the world were to kill off the 400M Americans and institute tougher pro-creation Laws that this world would be almost healthy in less than 100 years. Worst case, from among the American people (and that means Canada too) someone is going to have to wake up and realize that as far as democracy goes 96% of the world vs our less than 4%, someone eventually, somewhere not America, is going to make that decision. Suddenly that vast and mighty ocean that kept all those foreign invaders away become prison walls with a significantly smaller coast to patrol than any other continent. Now cut off the oil and you kill the war machine. 20% of the 100% of the work force that can barely hold up 50% are now retired. All their costs go way up and their purchase of big items like homes and cars goes way down. Do you know how much food is imported? The point is Yan, that sounds "a lot" simpler, way cheaper and more conducive to a green earth than the Bush Chaney 100 year plan of harvesting any crop they can get "your" hands on including innocent lives, since according to the rest of the world America is a democracy and thus their tyrannical abuse of the the world (because in one brief moment in time they had a bomb and it went to their head) is not the act of one man or government but is, in fact, the will of all the people. Yan : the US wants to hide the fact that the $ is the most valuable commodity. It has found the secret to eternal fiscal youth. Print dollars. Therefore they try to promote the sale of gold. Somewhere, hidden in all the artificial mess of the economy is the fact that what you're doing is what they want you to do. No more 'laws' , procreation or otherwise,, everyone needs to calm down and let nature work it out. We can't do anything for life except live it. We can't 'steer' it. Tim : Yeah, well tossing all the human stuff aside... take a look Yan. Nature is working us out. It has never been about the certainty of death Yan. That is not what all these rules (since Laws belong to Nature) are about. Did you see the look on Saddam Husein's face? No. Not the day he was executed for the same crimes your country is committing today, I mean at his trial... did you see how hard he fought for his life? What last minute enlightenment do you think possessed his mind? Did you see the actor Bush Jr. the day he drew tears for the audience about how the big bad wolf Saddam tried... sniff... sniff... to kill his dad? It was just a few years before that his Dad was killing other people's Dad's, in fact Saddam was following his orders, and only a couple years after that very heartfelt performance... Jr went and did the same thing... when the stats are so out of whack that even Rosie O'Donell gets canned for being heartbroken (only 30% of kills during this recent war are military personal representing an oddly near even split between them... the other 70% civilians... that is genocide Yan). Are you suggesting to me that the American democracy is that ****ing stupid? Because if you are, then as far as I am concerned you got it coming to you and you earned every cent of it. There is a massively large world out there and all of it hates the United States and we are not talking about stealing other kids lunch money savvy? *** Now here is the trouble Monkey, the recent lesson on the textbook psychology who rejects its parent alchemy is just another reworded history of case studies providing empirical data that has formed a body that resembles the operation of the human mind. But it is still just using Tarot cards, I-Ching trigrams and Celtic Runes to make predictions... I made that point recently, swearing the oath on the textbook, just to let you know that we all know what to expect next. Sure the magicians on the hill will use there A-1 words to fire up the American people, create a bunch of profiles and so forth. That is the first reaction of being caught. And then? Then what will they do... what is important here Monkey is that, like children caught already knowing it is wrong, they will say anything and because this so so predictable and the US claims to be the masters of the voodoo, that when the time comes... it is a question sincerity and no one is going to believe them. By their own devices Monkey I shall destroy them and the only chance you as a mere citizen robot have is to stand up and be counted because experience has taught me that when the time comes, there is no counting just killing. Tim This is being a long enlightening argument. I tend to side with you. We DO have masters, and they steer us into trouble or can steer us away from it. Actually you mention the concept TAMING THE LION, and that's the perfect metaphor: the BEAST is smart as a predatory machine, but this predation will inevitably bring us suffering and doom. Nobody knows why exactly we can't even consider a Plan B or C. The voters --very few of them, with a limited agenda-- feed the monster out fear that B or C could be worse. And they also vote out of self interest while the masses just try to survive. Democracy is more a mind game than something healthy. They kill dissent if not the dissenter by ignoring alternatives to the status quo often laughing about it. People look at you and say, "You are weird!" Solutions are avoided. Everybody is doing their "job" in the machine. The "grease" is money. In case someone thinks I'm talking in parabolic words, here's the perfect example of the "War on Drugs." A whole nation, Mexico, is sliding down the abyss while America gets high. And if we can't control Mexico, how can we control Iraq or Afghanistan? I thought you were against the revolution but perhaps I'm wrong. We just have to know what our best weapons are and mine is a humble bike. Actually it may a simple banana to put up a fight: THE BANANA IS THE BEST WEAPON EVER DEVISED, CLEARLY SUPERIOR TO NUCLEAR WEAPONS! If you don't believe me, I challenge anyone with a nuclear weapon to step forward. Tease the lion with it until it roars. Then the game has been exposed. |

You'll do and accomplish precisely nothing, save for your witless blather here. Ha, ha. You know my wisdom is enlightening, practical and full of fun. Every one of my writings is a lesson in survival in the capitalist jungle. Actually I show a path out of Darwinist capitalism without being too radical. Everything in yin-yang balance. As we speak the Volt and Nissan EVs are selling like...well...not hotcakes despite massive tax credits. That's because advertising has convinced Americans that driving a truck is a symbol of power. Hybrids are also very expensive. For the poor it's a better option to a buy a small car --such as the Ford Focus-- than a high tech hybrid. 90% of cars on American roads are oversized according to my own estimates --which are very reliable. And the Tesla is sold out, but mainly to movie stars. Maybe diesel will make its move, but I'd bet hybrids for the foreseeable future. I see three main vehicles that need to be pushed with the revolution: BICYCLES, ELECTRIC BIKES, AND NEVs. Something like 70% of trips are done within 5 miles so they are the perfect answer to those needs. A bike costs you $200, an electric bike $500-$1000 and the NEVs are... http://www.gemcar.com/build/accBuild.asp?model=6 Cute little truck, something like 10 grand, probably no insurance and definitely no gas. C'mon, it's time for the dinosaurs to go! |
