The papers, church, the television, ** ** political speaches everywhere is plagued with this same disease. ** ** You are made to believe that the government is always trying to ** ** do its best for YOU the people. This is not ture. Take the ** ** recent "War On Terrorism" all it is is a warmonger's hunt for ** ** oil and safe foundations for american buisness. Any one that ** ** opposes America in any way, even peacefully, is now deemed a ** ** terrorist. Go outside and demand more rights and see how long it ** ** is before you are told to more along or be arrested, unless you ** ** organise it all inadvance with government permission, not as if ** ** it will create much of an impact since it is completely expected ** ** and controlled. Read alternative news. Search the net,the best ** ** resource for finding alternative news. Read the big issue. ** ** Search for the truth and do not always believe exactly what the ** ** papers tell you. Read political books like those by George ** ** Orwell or Noam Chomsky, etext versions easy to find. Give to ** ** charities like save the children and help at every moment of ** ** your life. At least in the end you will be able to say that you ** ** contributed at least something. For the more radical reader ** ** arrange protests, strikes whatever you think necessary to get ** ** your message across and hopefully win the majority over to your ** ** side. At every moment try to persuade others to take up the ** ** path where the lies we are spoon-fed everyday is spat back out. ** ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** ** The horror of Orwell's 1984 is still possible with the use of ** ** public control technique's that are widely used. Stand up for ** ** yourself and not be pushed around no more. Reslise the fact ** ** that all the large political parties are the same trying to ** ** trick you into thinking that one will have different goals from ** ** the other. The reason the number of voters drops every year is ** ** that no one really thinks that any of the parties will do a ** ** better job, since they are so alike to begin with. Join or form ** ** a socialist party with really goals of equality for mankind. ** ** Come to see the fact that the "War on Terrorism" is nothing but ** ** Orwell's ironic statement in 1984 that "War Is Peace" where by ** ** creating an enemy for the people to fear and hate will keep it ** ** all together and rid them of any rebellios thought and replace ** ** it with patriotism. ** ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** ** Notice that even though something is no longer reported that is ** ** still does happen. Sweatshops and cheap labour are still ** ** happening today but how often is it mentioned on TV or in the ** ** papers? The government do not oppose it as it means more sucess ** ** for business, who they really work for anyway, and try to hide it** ** under the carpet. The problem is so big though that a lump has ** ** formed along with all the other things swept under that carpet ** ** of propaganda that some people seeeking justice have noticed ** ** that it still has not been taken care of. This is something ** ** that everyone should care about. You may say it has nothing to ** ** do with you but think when you go around in your latest gear the ** ** sweat and blood poured into that item of clothing to try and buy ** ** some poor worker's family enough food to survive. You really ** ** are just wearing sweat, blood and tears of some poor laborer. ** ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** ** Read all you can about socialsim and communism and think about ** ** the wide scale of it if the whole world was as one under this ** ** form of government. Something expressed in John Lennon's ** ** classic "Imagine". ** ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** ** "To steal from someone and keep it for yourself is robbery, to ** ** steal from someone and sell it on for a profit is business." ** ** This quote from Octave Mirbeau's Torture Garden shows how all ** ** business really is is a modern highway robber stealing the ** ** creations of the laborers and using it to gain themselves a nice ** ** fat turnover. ** ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** ** "You.re obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions ** ** you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to ** ** moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack ** ** all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ** ** ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain ** ** pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and ** ** unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of ** ** life and all feeling of personality, because at every moment ** ** they suppress and restrain and check the free play of your ** ** powers. That's the poisoned and mortal would of the civilized ** ** world." Another quote from the torture garden requires some ** ** thought to get the full meaning. ** ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** *******<=Written by a simple radical Abers 10th November 2002=>******* ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** ** You can brand me any name you want; as long as it concludes that ** ** I'm an enemy of the state, that it marks me as different due to ** ** the indignation your nation creates in me, that I'm not part of ** ** your genocide, that I did not stand for any of your countries ** ** murderous and globalising ideas and am a renegade of your ** ** teachings... then I'll wear it proudly! ** ** --Abers 2002 ** ********************************************************************** **********************************************************************
