Foresight

“The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing the instruments of production, and thereby relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. . . . In one word, it creates a world after its own image.”

...“the need for a constantly expanding market for its products chases the bourgeoisie over the whole surface of the globe,” ...paving the way for more extensive and exhaustive crises.”

Imperialist Hegemony Breeds Contempt, And Ultimately Leads To State Failure...

The Romans considered their relationship with allies as one between a patron and his clients, rather than between equals. In exchange for Roman aid, countries were expected to support Roman interests, maintain the same friends and enemies, refer disputes to Roman arbitration, and so forth. This applied even to cases like the Greek cities, which had been proclaimed free by Flaminius. Few understood themselves to have such obligations, creating considerable friction, and this was exacerbated by the Romans often becoming suspicious or antagonizing towards former friends, leading to various anti-Roman movements. In general, though, these served only to increase Roman control. For instance Aetolia became effectively a slave state after calling in the Seleukids to re-free the Greeks, Rhodes was undermined by propping up Delos as a rival trading center after it made a separate peace in the Third Macedonian War, and Corinth was eventually razed after the Achaean League, of which it was the head, refused to give up authority over Sparta and Corinth itself.

Lullaby:

Shut up and go to bed
Put the pillow under your head
I'm sick and tired of all your worries
Shut up and say goodnight
Say your prayers and turn off the light
I'm sick and tired of all your sob-stories

Shut up and shut your eyes
No more histrionics no more college tries
Stop pushing stop shoving stop straining
Shut your mouth and button your lip
You're a late night faucet that's got a drip
All you're doing is merely complaining

The excuse that you're crazy is useless
You're not biting you're barking you're toothless
But you're ruthless (you're Rufus)

Shut up and count some sheep

And do me a favour don't bitch in your sleep
No more agony please no more sorrow
Shut up and catch some Z's
Ice cream with a cherry plus big pretty please
I promise we'll resume tomorrow...Goodnight

Catamount Stadium: "Drive Like Hell"

Demise

The labor movement is organized upon a principle that the strong shall help the weak. The strength of a strong man is a prideful thing, but the unfortunate thing in life is that strong men do not remain strong. And it is just as true of unions and labor organizations as is true of men and individuals. And whereas today the craft unions of this country may be able to stand upon their own feet and like mighty oaks stand before the gale, defy the lightning, yet the day may come when those organizations will not be able to withstand the lightning and the gale. Now, prepare yourselves by making a contribution to your less fortunate brethren... Organize the unorganized!

"I Swear, It Sounded Like A Train...."


You Can't Lie To Nobody With That
Cold Steel In Your Face...

Rm. 237: REDRUM


1970: Freedom's Just Another Word For; "Nothin' Left To Lose"...

11 Points For Consideration When Waging A Cultural Revolution;

1. Overthrow The Government: The Government stands to
oppress and smother the population. The Corporate Juggernaut, cultural elite,
and the upper echelon of society wish to subdue, control, and push down the
classes below them inorder to continue their dominance. They must be defeated
before anything else may occurr.

2. Abondon Your Possesions: Posessions are merely a
burden. A constant reminder of a former life. They will accomplish nothing
except for burdening the revolutionary with memories of a distant time (past
tense) which means nothing in comparison to the only applicable remedy. Abondon
them, and begin to feel the Liberation we so desperately seek.

3. Free Political Prisoners/ Take Prisoners (Be Ruthless &
Cunning):
A crucial source of politcal leverage in our quest will be
political prisoners. The more we can take, the more we will be able to
eventually free by forcing the populist Government to bend to our will. Be
ruthless, be cunning and we shall prosper.

4. Come To Terms With Your Eventual Losses: The leaders of
the Revolution feel strongly that members of the Revolution should distance
themselves and loved ones for the duration of our struggle. Casualties are an
inevitability of war. The more detached from these prospective burdens the
members are, the easier it will be to sacrifice friends, families, confidante's
or themselves for the cause.

5. Read. Study. Absorb: It is imperative that the members
or the Resistance read all available and applicable materials related to the
field of Revolution. The more knowledgeable the members are, the easier they
will find it to subvert the current political systems of oppression. They will
also be learning resources for newcomers to the Resistance, and gain an
increased understanding of the aims and goals of the Resistance.

6. Arm Yourself: It is a war we are fighting. Eventually
all wars, and resistance's (even peaceful ones) come to hostile standoffs
between the parties involved. When ours finally takes notice, it is to be
assumed the current parties in power, will not wish to relinquish their posts
without confrontation. Be prepared. Be ready. Be waiting.

7. Stir The Pot / Leave A Trail: It is essential to the
cause, that the members involved in the Resistance do not hesitate to help breed
a sense of contempt for the populist Government amongst the masses. Create
political unrest by uncovering, and creating political and social injustices.
Play class against class to garner support for the Movement. Use the propaganda
to attack the other side, while portraying the Resistance in a favourable light.
Eventually the populations view points will shift, to align with ours. We will
wait patiently among them.

8. Further The Cause Through Participation: It is key to
the cause that the members within it demonstrate their current Democratic
rights, to particpate in the populist Government and work amongst other members
to help elect the party of the system with the weakest defences against our
attacks. Pick a party which has a tendency to bend to popular whimsy, and
concentrate your efforts, while following Step 7.

9. No Nations. No Borders: One of our ultimate aims is to
Liberate the people of the Earth from oppressive politcal systems that are
currently in place (All of them). While closely following Step 7 &
8
begin to shift your thinking to our goal of one worldwide people who are
not seperated by geographic location, ethnicity, or race. Once the Revolution
has succeeded, we will be one people, of one nation (Earth).

10. Follow The Example Set Forth: A careful examination of
Guerrilla Warfare texts, and related materials on the subject of Urban Geurrilla
Warfare by members, will yield them the knowledge of techniques commonly
employed in such endeavours, as well allowing them to cross reference successes and
failures of such efforts, and lastly; expose them to the turning the points of
previously launched offensive Revolutions which held steady in favour of the
Revolutionary body. These texts will prove invaluable, along with the afore
mentioned texts of Step 5 in our quest for the ultimate remedy to
today's stifling and oppressive conditions.

11. Throw Yourself Into It With Gusto: The final point in
the segment relies solely upon ambtion, work ethic, and dedication of the
Revolutionary Peoples (Here on in a seperate entity from the Revolution, or
Resistance). "We The People" require the Revolutionary People to achieve our
aims ands goals. The warriors, speakers, the workers, we need every last one
to sacrifice everything available to the Remedy. Without the People, "We
The People" are nothing but a whispered conversation topic, in the outter
circles of the masses. We need acceptance.

ARMED STRUGGLE FOR SELF DETERMINATION:

With the formation of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 1972 by its present leader, Mr.Velupillai Pirabakaran, the mode of the Tamil political struggle underwent a radical change. For the first time in the political history of the Tamils an armed guerrilla movement emerged to fight for the political rights of the Tamil nation and to confront the state's violence with armed resistance. With the birth and growth of the Tamil Tigers, the armed struggle became effectively institutionalized as the political struggle of the Tamil people.
The LTTE's armed struggle is based on a clearly defined political program. This political project aims at securing the right to self-determination of the Tamil people. The right to self determination is the cardinal principle upon which the Tamil struggle for political independence is based. The LTTE is committed to the position that the Tamils constitute themselves as a people or a nation and have a homeland, the historically constituted habitation of the Tamils, a well defined contiguous territory embracing the Northern and Eastern Provinces. Since the Tamils have a homeland, a distinct language and culture, a unique economic life and a lengthy history extending to over three thousand years, they possess all the characteristics of a nation or a people. As a people they have the inalienable right to self determination. This right entailed the freedom of a people to determine their own political status. The LTTE holds the view that the Tamil people had invoked the right to self-determination at the 1977 general elections and opted to fight for political independence and statehood. The national liberation project of the LTTE is based on the people's mandate for self-determination.
The LTTE's objective in fighting for political independence of the Tamil nation is not an arbitrary decision on the part of the organization but rather the expression and articulation of the collective will and aspiration of the Tamil people. Decades of alien domination and oppression prompted the Tamil people to exercise their right to self-determination through a democratic process. This right to self-determination is a basic universal human right, recognized by the international community. The International Covenants of the UN Charter enunciates the principle of self determination in the following term; 'All people have the right to self-determination. By the virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development'. In the general elections of 1977 which assumed the character of a referendum on the question of self-determination, the Tamil nation chose to determine their political status by seceding and establishing its sovereignty in its homeland. The Tamil parliamentary political party, the T.U.L.F, which obtained a clear mandate from the people and pledged to fight for the creation of an independent state 'either by peaceful means or by direct action or struggle’ betrayed the cause of the Tamils. But the LTTE, endorsing the national aspiration and the will of the Tamil people, is determined to carry on the struggle for self-determination .
Sri Lanka has consistently denied the right to self determination of the Tamils and refused to recognize the Tamils as a people. Reducing the Tamils to the category of a minority group and promoting the concepts of multi-ethnicity and pluralism, it has out rightly rejected the Tamil claim of nationhood and homeland. By constitutional amendment, Sri Lanka has prohibited the Tamil demand for self-determination as unlawful. Furthermore, it has unleashed a fully-fledged war against the Tamils to suppress their struggle for political independence. It has condemned and accused the LTTE of communalism, separatism and terrorism for engaging in an armed struggle to assert the right of the Tamils to freely choose their political destiny.

DETROIT/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Chrysler filed for bankruptcy on Thursday and announced an industry-changing deal with Fiat, after being pummeled by sliding auto sales and unable to reach agreement on restructuring its debt.
Despite weeks of intense negotiations, Chrysler failed to gain full support from its lenders to avoid the first-ever bankruptcy filing by a major U.S. automaker.
The move was hailed by President Barack Obama as a critical step in saving 30,000 jobs at Chrysler, majority-owned by Cerberus Capital Group, and hundreds of thousands more jobs at affiliated suppliers and dealers.
At the same time, Chrysler entered an expected alliance with Fiat SpA , in which the Italian carmaker was given an initial stake of 20 percent.
The deal will allow Fiat to own up to 35 percent as it makes investments in U.S. operations and small-car technology for Chrysler. Over time, Fiat could eventually own 51 percent after Chrysler has repaid its loans to the U.S. Treasury.
Chrysler has struggled in recent years to compete, hurt by its near total reliance on the U.S. market, poor quality and a truck and SUV-dominated vehicle line-up with the lowest combined fuel economy of any major automaker.
Founded in 1925 by Walter P. Chrysler, three years later the company laid the cornerstone for the Chrysler Building, briefly the world's tallest building and still a landmark on the Manhattan skyline.
The Chapter 11 filing, in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, has implications for the entire industry -- including Chrysler's rivals and suppliers....




God; I Hate You...

In nomine Dei nostri Satanas Luciferi excelsi!
In the name of Satan, the Ruler of the earth, the King of
the world, I command the forces of Darkness to bestow their
Infernal power upon me!
Open wide the gates of Hell and come forth from the
abyss to greet me as your brother (sister) and friend!
I have taken thy name as a part of myself! I live as the
beasts of the field, rejoicing in the fleshy life! I favour the just
and curse the rotten!
By all Gods of the Pit, I command that these things
of which I speak shall come to pass!
Come forth and answer to your names by manifesting my
desires!
