Our Topics This Week:
Will WikiLeaks endure the wicked attacks?
Is Assange being framed?

How many more shots do we have at defeating this empire/slave-subjects game, since the game has gone global?
It may seem that in the Post-Bush era, there is nothing left to fight, but the time is NOW more than ever as the real battle begins!
All this and more tonight at 6!!!
Please join us for the only “out there where the buses don’t run” LEFT perspective with interviews, op/eds and straight talk without the hand-wringing PC that has crippled our movement!

WikiLeaks goes off-line after ‘multiple’ attacks
U.S. firm says denial of service attacks on site threatened nearly 500,000 others
msnbc.com staff and news service reports
WikiLeaks went off-line late Thursday after a U.S. firm providing its domain name system said the controversial website had come under mass denial-of-service attacks.
EveryDNS.net said it had “terminated” its services to WikiLeaks as the attacks and ones expected in the future would “threaten the stability” of the company’s services to nearly 500,000 other websites.
WikiLeaks has been continuing to release classified cables sent by U.S. officials, causing huge embarrassment to diplomats and world leaders amid growing outrage and calls for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to be prosecuted under the U.S. Espionage Act.

Democrats exploiting Republicans? You bet.
So. the frayed ends finally rip and tear. It finally becomes clearer: most Democratic politicians aren’t interested in being courageous. They are, however, interested in cash, campaigns, and power. They love to wordsmith and dazzle progressives with fabulous politicSpeak: yes, they do. More and better words delivered by more, but not necessarily better, Democrats.
Perhaps it is just plain decency that Democrats lack… the decency to stop playing both sides of issues. The decency to stop exploiting Republicans. Yes. You heard me. The Democrats have been the minority, the majority, with and without a sitting president and STILL the fucking Republicans are road blocks? It’s always the Republicans’s fault? No matter how it is sliced and diced, the Dems are always having their hands tied by some outside force. I’m not buying it.

Obscure Demonstrations in Daykundi Province
People in Daikondi have been demonstrating for several days, asking the government and international community to discharge the corrupt governor Orazgoni and a judge accused of sexual abuse, Shirzad. They also want the immediate release five individuals who were imprisoned for disclosing information about official corruption and sexual abuse in Daikondi.
There has been no notice by the Afghan government or local or international media.
March 8 2010, 4000 women assembled to pray for peace in Daikundi Province, and that’s all I could find out about the image above, although I searched through Google with a whole variety of search-terms, and accidentally learned that 81 women have incinerated themselves in nearby Herat Province so far this year.

Wikileaks: We’ve seen this before
He’s a vocal opponent of current policy. He says the government is keeping secrets from you and lying to you.
His conservative opponents are apoplectic with anger. They are calling for his head. He has been investigated for imaginary federal crimes.
But most of all, his opponents are attacking his character. They are accusing him of being a sexual deviant.
No, I’m not talking about Julian Assange in 2010. I’m talking about Scott Ritter in 2002.
I’m only mildly interested in the documents that Wikileaks have published.
Like the Pentagon Papers that Daniel Ellsberg released in 1971, the documents that Wikileaks are giving the news media aren’t all that shocking to most of the thinking public.
The real story here is the official reaction, whether it was Ellsberg in 1972, Ritter in 2002, or Assange in 2010.
Forget the details of the documents for a moment and look at the government reactions.

Hard Not To Call It Evil
Another one from the vault, back on Sun Mar 22, 2009
According to people who should know, The Ruling Class is using our money….draining our money, the money we use to survive and feed our children and to actual produce things, to rescue the very structure…that allows them to BE The Ruling Class. That enables them to Rule us.
These people, the Ruling Class, are the ones who got us into this financial armageddon. These are the same Ruling Class that took us to war in Iraq, after ignoring the warnings that an attack was coming.
They are the same people who made America into a nation that tortures people they KNOW to be innocent. They are the same people…if they even deserve the name…who are stopping any serious efforts to mitigate a Climate Crisis of incomprehensible scope.
They are the same people that so unprecedentedly had the Supreme Court decide Bush vs. Gore, so they could have Bush cut their taxes and deregulate the very same structures that we are now being called to give OUR money to prop up. Yes, the very same people who are directly responsible for everything that has gone wrong in our world, are the people who are now telling us….not asking us….telling us, that we have to bail them out. While as always, not telling us the whole story, not telling us what they are doing behind the scenes and behind our backs. They are though, telling us…..That we HAVE to clean up their shit, again, and suffer for their mistakes, just like we did in the last depression. The Ruling Class, they insist, is to big too fail. Even if that means that we have to.
These are the same people who let US drown in New Orleans.
And then threw corporate parties and killed Iraqis instead of rebuilding it.

Stanford Prison Experiment, contd.
This video is so humiliating to everyone concerned, me, you, TSA, and the poor woman left, apparently unattended to, stripped to her undies in full goddamned view of what can only be described as her fellow abased and utterly subordinated inmates, that I hesitate to even re-post from HuffPo, according to whom, this is no “gag.”
What in the world would John Ashcroft say?
Update, via wilberforce in comments:
Apparently, this woman has some potential issues, e.g., coming to the airport already dressed only overcoats and lingerie on more than one occasion.
Maybe she’s an exhibitionist. Still, even if she turns out to be nuttier than a fruitcake, wouldn’t one expect some discretion on TSA’s part?
Maybe it’s her way of protesting TSA, although she did not indicate or voice signs of protest. She certainly has a Stepford-wife calmness about her in the video, but it’s hard to second-guess someone’s personal reaction to what should be viewed as rather radical public humiliation.
In any case, so much for jumping to conclusions in this stranger-than-fiction world. It’s hard to say what is going here.

Please note: patience is not one of my virtues…heh.
SPECIAL NOTE: a small announcement: I will be hosting another Party here Friday night… same bat time same bat channel.
I. Animal / Spirit Totems
So, in my last Friday Night Party essay (the DD Rummage Sale) I popped a Poll in there. It was almost an afterthought, certainly spur of the moment… but I felt inspired to add it there, not really knowing what kind of response it would get. What the heck, I thought.
The concept of Animal/Spirit totems is one of those trendy things that I happen to like a lot. Even though I usually hate trendy things. So… I figured I’d embellish & explore a bit more here, after the jump.
So what do you imagine is your totem?

Humans; Heartbreak, Heartache, and Heart Felt Feelings

Currently, I am writing for an educational organization. In penning my pain for what occurs in our schools today, it occurred to me the same impersonal approach, awareness, or lack thereof, is evident in offices, neighborhoods, and in our broader community. People pretend to or believe they ” know” their fellow workers, their family members, and their friends. Yet, more often than not, I observe that this is not necessarily true. I, we, she, or he only comprehends what is visible on the surface.
Few choose to ask of, address, or answer the deeper concerns that life delivers daily; I offer this narrative and request your reflections. We all have our own tale to tell. I invite you to share yours. Please trust that I care; your secrets are safe with me. I suspect that others will honor you as I choose to do. I believe we all relate to sorrow.
Today the distress I wish to discuss is heartbreak, heartache, and heart felt feelings. In my own life, I am witnessing that many close to me are battling life-threatening illnesses. Their terminal diagnoses affect me deeply. They weigh heavy on those closer to the ” patient” than I. I cannot begin to imagine the pain long-suffering persons feel. Yet, through the quiet trials and tribulations of a teen, who supposedly studied under my tutelage, I learned. What we hide hurts us most.
