		<description><![CDATA[How shall we get at hope, a word that is so recently a victim of abuse? Here&#8217;s a novel method: first descend into the realm of deep politics. For, like it or not, our response to news of the day—especially if it is dark or tragic—inevitably affects our capacity for hope. And the hope for the future that we hold our heart is illusory if it is chained to denial in our head. During this recent cycle when the alleged death of Osama Bin Laden dominated the news, it became clear to me that too many Americans—who should not be—are still in severe denial about the true realities of 9/11. Sadly, the news of the purported assassination has served to reinforce that denial. And yet, I trust you are not one of these deniers; I trust that you have surveyed the mounting evidence that cries out for a new 9/11 investigation, and that you do not accept the government&#8217;s conspiracy theory that pins the blame for the crime on this one man. For much of this is a bald lie—as most any insider knows in the Machievellian and nihilistic world of Washington. And yet, we can face the 9/11 Big [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an eye-opening reversal that adds more convolution to our national life just when we need it, President Obama announced he would run for a second term on the same day that his administration unveiled plans to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed  before a military commission at Guantánamo Bay (“Gitmo”) for his [alleged] roles in the attacks of September 11—that is, if Khalid is not actually dead or is not simply a shadowy reverse-Santa Claus symbol of the Satan archetype embedded in America’s collective unconscious. Along with the demise of Obama’s once-noble plan to close Gitmo, President Obama also abandoned (under Congressional pressure) his original plan to have Mr. Mohammed (aka KSM) tried in federal criminal court, where the rules of evidence are more stringent and where evidence based on egregious torture is considered more impolite, or stated otherwise, more palatable for a judge or kangaroo presiding over a secret military court. . . KSM, as you may remember, “confessed” to being the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks that not only defeated the domestic defenses of the world’s leading superpower—but also, just for fun, magically caused a 50-story steel-framed structure (World Trade Center building 7) to collapse into its footprint in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[January 17, 2011 Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday If Dr. King were alive today, he would shudder at what his nation has become four decades after his death—especially in view of the new forms of violence, self-deception, and even nihilism in which America is steeped. That’s why, as we celebrate King’s birth today in the year 2011, we need to look for a new Martin Luther King to carry the torch of the modern revolution of conscience that King initiated. A look at the lineage of the Hebrew prophets shows that one isolated prophet can never be enough to correct an errant and lawless civilization. As a result, the message of these ancient prophets evolved and deepened to meet the rising challenge. And after the last prophet was forgotten or encrusted in idolatry—as Dr. King’s image is today—a fresh new teacher rose up out of nowhere to build on previous scripture and to speak to his generation&#8217;s experience with oppression and injustice. Of course, Dr. King believed this lineage culminated in Jesus himself. In the same manner, a post-modern or “integral” prophet will speak truth to power in a new way, yet will participate in King’s lineage; indeed, our prophets [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have no new writings to offer at the moment. For now, let’s allow the reflections of three of this country’s most important voices suffice—in light of the fantasmagorical election cycle we have just come through&#8230;(see links below) Bill Moyers, eloquent as usual, describes the sad situation America now finds itself in: rule by “plutocracy.” Chris Hedges—one of our most courageous independent journalists and dissenters—offers a surprising explanation regarding who has done most to enable this tragedy. And Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, “the father of Reaganomics,” who has in recent years turned to radical criticism of America’s plutocratic ways, wraps it up with an unsentimental and blunt assessment of our recent elections. • “Welcome to the Plutocracy!” Bill Moyers http://www.truth-out.org/bill-moyers-money-fights-hard-and-it-fights-dirty64766 • Death of the Liberal Class (an excerpt from a new book) Chris Hedges http://www.truthdig.com/arts_culture/item/the_death_of_the_liberal_class_20101029/ • “The Impotence of Elections” Paul Craig Roberts http://www.infowars.com/the-impotence-of-elections/print/]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The singular mission of true religion and genuine spirituality, I believe, is to valiantly bear witness to the One Light, the Font of Radiant Love, the First Source, the Loving Divine Person—and do so even if all earthly things crash, indeed, especially when catastrophic events engulf us. Central to this mission is the separation of church and state (despite this being an outdated phrase); for, when we separate religion from politics, at least conceptually, this makes possible the vital distinction between the sacred and the profane. In my view, folks, it’s a practical problem: if religion gets blended in an unholy alliance with profane &#8220;this-worldly&#8221; trends, it runs the risk of losing its ability to stand in everlasting contrast to the passing material world and its profane agendas of selfishness and naked power. If I may paraphrase George Harrison: All things must pass, must pass away; but the truth abides. Yet, at the same time, ‘tis true (dear friends and colleagues who may now be objecting) that religion always comes embedded within politics and culture, as does spirituality. But a potent, life-changing religion is not reducible to culture, much less to the politics, philosophy, or art of its day. Genuine [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This excerpt from a larger white paper (&#8220;Weapons of Mass Coercion,&#8221; also posted at this site) tells the true story of the 2005 electromagnetic attack on leaders of the 9/11 truth movement &#8230; Rewind back to 2005: About a dozen leading activists in the San Francisco Bay Area and elsewhere are organizing around the issue of “9/11 truth.” The loose-knit group is fervently building a citizen’s movement around a newly founded umbrella organization called “911truth.org.” This new national group had, for example, just assembled a now-famous petition called the “9/11 Truth Statement” that contained the names 100 prominent Americans calling for a new 9/11 investigation. (One of the signatories was Van Jones, who was later forced out of a position at the Obama White House for his involvement with this petition.) 911truth.org had also compiled a lengthy dossier of 9/11 evidence (still available at justicefor911.org) that it presented to Eliot Spitzer, then attorney general of New York state, calling upon him to investigate; the call was supported by a petition and press conference. (In this account, initials are used for all names to protect their privacy.) I myself was an inaugural 911truth.org board member and owner of a small book [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Early in 1999, Senator Joseph Lieberman wrote an unusual letter to EPA head Carol Browner. He wanted her to address constituent concerns “about the possible release of toxic chemical substances from jet contrails” and “reports of toxic spraying over populated areas in 41 states.” Lieberman also noted “recent outbreaks of flu-like symptoms and other sicknesses in Connecticut and other states that may possibly be linked to jet fuel exhaust fumes.” However, the EPA did not reply to this influential U.S. Senator—thus setting the tone for the egregious cover up and systematic stonewalling of this “toxic aerial spraying” issue, now a mainstay of American underground folklore. Soon after, one of the first journalists to expose the issue, William Thomas, appeared on Art Bell’s “Coast to Coast” radio show with breaking news of a new phenomenon he calls “chemtrails.” Thomas pointed to numerous disturbing reports nationwide. For example, The Philadelphia Daily News stated that “a wave of respiratory illnesses [had] swept the area.” A man in Eugene reports that, “my wife and I saw some rainbow-colored clouds yesterday. We are calling them ‘chem-clouds.’” Observers in Spokane counted 33 chemtrails in two and half hours. An Arizona resident reported that after heavy aerial [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Police Brutality in Pittsburgh after the G20 A remarkable article in Harper’s magazine in late 2009 provides a sobering perspective for those of us who are serious about reforming America with the help of radical wisdom.1 What is now under way, states journalist Ando Arike ominously, is “what appears to be the first arms race in which the opponent is the general population.” To explain the advent of “soft” weapons (today’s nonlethal arsenal that includes energy weapons), Arike briefly cites the lessons learned by ruling elites from the modern history of escalating conflicts between police and demonstrators. Beginning with a number of disturbing street clashes during the civil rights era in the fifties, the problem reached a new level of intensity with the “police riots” at the Democratic Party Convention in Chicago in 1968 and the shootings of students and activists at Kent State and elsewhere in anti-Vietnam War demonstrations. After a hiatus in which each side honed its strategies and tools of confrontation, a major turning point was marked by the fierce and highly successful anti-globalization demonstrations that famously shut down a World Trade Organization ministerial meeting in Seattle in 1999. At each turn, authorities increasingly learned a hard [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Get ready for the greatest political transformation in history: humanity&#8217;s long, purposeful evolution toward the abolition of war—that is, radical wisdom in action on the global stage. Let&#8217;s honor those who died in foreign wars by seeking for saner and wiser ways to settle international disputes, through the mechanism of global institutions of law and justice. This epochal change in human affairs will take decades; but it will one day put an end to the war system that is the greatest scourge facing humankind. We can abolish war, entirely—just as the nations of the world ended legalized slavery in the nineteenth century. This will be a movement of optimists and visionaries, those who are ready to seize the opportunity to reinvent our world, ready to leave behind the cynics whose only contribution is to maintain the status quo. In this movement, world peace is not a vague and utopian goal—but a practical, enduring peace that is achieved through world laws that are—one day—to be passed by a world legislature, interpreted by world courts, and enforced by a global government that represents all of humanity, high and low, north and south, black and white. Nothing short of that can do the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Even after decades of observing the mainstream media, I never cease to be amazed at how brazenly it filters out uncomfortable facts—in this case, the truth about the assassination of Martin Luther King, a paragon of radical wisdom if there ever was one. The latest instance of suppression is Hellhound on the Trail: The Stalking of Martin Luther King Jr. and the International Hunt for His Assassin (Doubleday, 2010). This lengthy book by Hampton Sides recounts James Earl Ray&#8217;s movements that led up to and followed his supposedly solo act of murder. Apparently a literary genius, Hampton has enjoyed strong reviews in major newspapers (New York Times, LA Times, SF Chronicle) as well as coverage on NPR, “Fresh Air” with Terry Gross, and the Colbert Report. The almost rhapsodic review in The New York Times states that Sides “. . . augments the truth, but he does it responsibly . . . In order to achieve such verisimilitude, Mr. Sides has drawn on a wide spectrum of sources.” Disturbingly, Mr. Sides (and his media cheerleaders) seem to have missed the single most important source in the spectrum: the story of how James Earl Ray was exonerated from the charge of [...]]]></description>
