In the year of the yanqui imperialist pigs

by Atticus Finch Friday, Jan. 02, 2004 at 7:32 AM

Let the year of the imperialist pigs pass and may the New Year be one in which imperialism, wherever it spreads its tentacles, is defeated.

As we say goodbye to 2003 let us not forget about the thousands of working people in the third world and their family members who are murdered, tortured, beaten, imprisoned, raped, robbed, extorted, etc every day by yanqui imperialism’s goons.

Let us not be confused over what constitutes murder - that murder is murder regardless of whether or not those who take part in it do so because they want jobs, college and careers.

We will not support those who are willing to go wherever they are told to trample over the self-determination of the world’s working people, especially the working people of the third world.

We will not wave the blood-soaked flag of yanqui imperialism.

We will not support imperialism’s goons and we will have no sympathy for them if they get hurt or die in their brutal invasions and occupations.

Let us not forget about the children they bomb, take medicine from, starve and turn into orphans. Sympathy for imperialism’s goons washes the blood off their hands and cheapens the lives of their most vulnerable victims, the third world’s children.

The hell with the lives of the yanqui goons. What about the lives of the of Iraqi and Afghani children? What about the 30,000 children in the third world who die every day because of the economic policies that are being imposed by the imperialists and enforced by yanqui imperialism’s goons?

Let the year of the imperialist pigs pass and may the New Year be one in which imperialism, wherever it spreads its tentacles, is defeated.

ANOTHER TUNE!

by the noisy book Friday, Jan. 02, 2004 at 6:37 PM

ANOTHER TUNE!...
mujira.jpg, image/jpeg, 360x303

DESIRE!

REVOLT!

POETRY... the marvelous dream

Freedom Wilderness Love

surrealism in the service of revo lu tion

karl marx and the Iroquois

lafcadio hearn QUACK! QUACK!

away with all reaction

sing for the midnight uprising

a fifteen minute walk through the

shell of burning Baghdad...

they cut their teeth on cluster bombs

toxic mall syndrome poisons the rest

as night descends, one senses that....

it's blood donor's day

DREAM

emptiness will end!

the rich will consume so much they will vomit to death

We shall all leave the archives of the night,

and walk into the sunlight of flamming freedom songs

no longer will the new exit-door,

be the old one repainted

No cheers for the Cheescloth Matrix!

When will they fall? SOON!

Our secret melodies will hasten the day

LONG LIVE SURREALISM - LONG LIVE REVOLT

House train yanqui flag wavers & goons

by goon trainer Saturday, Jan. 03, 2004 at 1:14 AM

Yanqui goons and their supporters need to be house trained like dogs.

Take them by the ears and stick their noses in their own shit, the shit of yanqui imperialism.

They respond like dogs when you do this to them, they growl and bark at you. But this is what they need.

Yanqui flag wavers ought to get out of the US and live in one of the "freemarket miracle" paradises that their government helped to creat - like present day Haiti, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Congo, Indonesia, Liberia, etc the list goes on and on.

They should go live in one of the great "democracies" the yanqui government embraces like Saudi Arabia, where they still stone people to death and cut people's hands off for petty theft.

Cuba and N Korea are far better places to live than the above, but unfortunately the yanqui government won't let US citizens live there unless they act as spies for yanqui imperialism.

If, for example, Cuba is such a terrible place to live why didn't Juan Gonzales (the father of young Elian, the Cuban boy the Maima Mafia tried to kidnap) go back to Cuba?

He could have stayed here and lived well off with all the book deals and movie offers. He chose to go back to Cuba because Cuba is a decent place to live - free health care, affordable housing, education, etc.

Yanqui flag wavers point to Cuba and N Korea as if the existence of these countries are the reason why the US should go around the world bombing everyone.

The mindset of the average yanqui flag waver is one of extreme ignorance. Their lack of a knowlede of history, especially the bloody history of their government together with their gullability, which is worse than the "Good Germans" of WWII makes them among the most numb and dumb people in the history of the world.

Why, exactly, are you sucking up to the commies?

Are you a communist yourself?

If so, why in the world would you publicly humiliate yourself by admiting it?

Don't you know communism and communism-lite, socialism, simply DO NOT work? Can't you read history? 100 million dead people. All due to communism.

You freakin' idiot.

Read history, that's something he would not like because it would show that communism was a sickly second rate killer compared to the deaths brought about with the idea of market access or aquirement.

Capitalism requires poverty in order to press for ever lower wages and higher profits.

Socialism as in government bailouts is capitalism's best friend.

What a complete load of crap you're trying to foist off on us Rogger.

The more successful companies in our highly successful Capitalist society do not have low wages and certainly do not promote poverty. Quite the contrary. What have you been smoking Rogger?

Can you say Cisco? Microsoft? Apple Computer? Adobe Systems? Costco? etc etc.

In the eternal bid of compitition, it's either merge, with layoffs, cut benifits, downsize or cook the books. All in the name of profit. Capital demands the highest returns.

I think the idea is to have, and this is why we get the inevitable boom and bust, desperate middle class fighting for the scraps of life while the standard of living for the majority drops in direct proportion to the wealth accumulated by the super rich. As usual, wealth remains insulated from the hard reality of deprivation while the common citizen takes it in the shorts. Meanwhile the banks collect the forclouseures and at last go under as they cannot liquidate the assets. How much money do you owe others? If it is a typical household, more than ever before. They just don't care. They never have. They own the branches of government, and therefore the military and police. They are safe, or so they want to believe. The pages of history say otherwise.

recent declines

by more rational Monday, Jan. 05, 2004 at 12:58 AM

The past 30 years has been marked by an increase in the number of hours worked, a decline in wages, and a sense that our standard of living has plateaued.

At the lower income levels, the standard of living has declined a bit too. All is not rosy in America.

is it at the expense of the global south

by more rational Monday, Jan. 05, 2004 at 1:02 AM

I also wonder what's happened with the standard of living in the global south. On the one hand, infant mortality decreases (at least in the cities), because of modern health care. On the other, poverty increases as agricultural culture is replaced by a factory and job culture.

People go from working all day on the farm (which they may or may not own), to working 14 hours a day in a factory (which they will never own). In essence, these people are slaves, dispossessed of their land, and they work for the global north.
