Toronto G20 Debate →
Watch thisvideo.
“That shouldn’t stop us from realizing that we’re winning the war, even though we lose the street battles. Without militant protests, every summit meeting would be a self-congratulatory public relations spectacle for the ruling class, a carefully scripted celebration of the wonderful job the neoliberals are doing running the world. Instead, because of us,...

Attack The Roots - Jail Solidarity →
The other thing about Toronto is that I know much of it is heartbreaking but you should also be hopeful, because everyday there are more and more people willing to take a stand against those horrors, and while not everyone is in a position to join them in the streets there are things you can do to help.

Breaking The Spell

Through both specifically designed images and engineered text Cell 144 have been introducing an organism into the populace.

WatchThere’s a lot of food for thought here. I’m especially intrigued by his notion of the mystical experience as one kind of peak of human well being. Certainly I think the creative process is of the same qualitative realm as mystic experience. Further I think the arts are one of the best places to explore ethical dilemmas.
