I met Mike in 1963 when we both attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He was an incredible artist then and is still creating images right out of his heart. Take a long look here and you'll see what I mean.......

9/11, Deep State Violence and the Hope of Internet Politics

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 06:59:18 -0700

From the page: "The FBI has been declassifying documents cooperatively with respect to this commitment, and recently the CIA has begun to cooperate as well.79 But some federal agencies, notably the FAA and Pentagon, are not collaborating with the 9/11 Commission�s commitment at all. It may take a law to get them to do so. Both the FAA and the Pentagon declined to release important records to the 9/11 Commission, despite its statutory powers, until required to do so by judicial subpoena.80 But the law which created the 9/11 Commission in 2002 made no legal determination for the future of its records.81

This is a matter of concern, because 9/11 has clearly initiated a major readjustment of our traditional constitutional balances and civil rights. I submit that a vigorous defense of the constitutional traditions of this country requires vigorous pressure for the release of the 9/11 Commission�s records, so that we can begin to resolve the mysteries of how this constitutional crisis arose.

In short, we are living in an on-going state of emergency whose exact limits are unknown, on the basis of a controversial deep event �" 9/11 -- that is still largely a mystery. Without endorsing the notion that a coup d�état has occurred, I would categorically assert that a radically hegemonic mindset, located primarily in Vice-President Cheney�s office, is currently using 9/11, the war on terror, and secret COG rules to assert prerogative limitations on the checks and balances of the U.S. constitution, without any significant challenge from a compliant Congress and media.

Moyers: Democracy in America Is a Series of Narrow Escapes, and We May Be Running Out of Luck | Politics | AlterNet

Sun, 18 May 2008 06:12:45 -0700

From the page: "Democracy in America is a series of narrow escapes, and we may be running out of luck. The reigning presumption about the American experience, as the historian Lawrence Goodwyn has written, is grounded in the idea of progress, the conviction that the present is "better" than the past and the future will bring even more improvement. For all of its shortcomings, we keep telling ourselves, "The system works."

Now all bets are off. We have fallen under the spell of money, faction, and fear, and the great American experience in creating a different future together has been subjugated to individual cunning in the pursuit of wealth and power -and to the claims of empire, with its ravenous demands and stuporous distractions. A sense of political impotence pervades the country -- a mass resignation defined by Goodwyn as "believing the dogma of 'democracy' on a superficial public level but not believing it privately." We hold elections, knowing they are unlikely to bring the corporate state under popular control. There is considerable vigor at local levels, but it has not been translated into new vistas of social possibility or the political will to address our most intractable challenges. Hope no longer seems the operative dynamic of America, and without hope we lose the talent and drive to cooperate in the shaping of our destiny."

What more can I say, these are the voices we don't hear on main stream corporate controlled media.

Great site for studying basic texts of Buddhism. The commentary on the preliminaries, The Four Reminders is very detailed, very good.
