Now here’s a chap who gets it. When are you going to get angry? I know the government and their cronies in the media will tell you that calm and reasoned, politically correct and apologetic begging is the correct way to converse with power.

They’re bound to tell you that though, aren’t they? Who benefits most from this namby-pamby, stiff upper lip bullshit? You?

Does anything change when you beg?

When the crooks in government and their insatiable bosses in the boardrooms and ivory towers are confronted with one man who speaks the truth they can ignore it.

Hell, they can even ignore a million on the march, as they did when the British people instructed their “public servants” not to invade Iraq.

It’s only when all of us start reacting to the abuses of power with unflinching and uncompromising strength that the tiny minority who dictate to us (as in fascism) will be forced to pay attention.

You don’t ask a mugger nicely not to rob you, you punch him in the face and defend yourself, for crying out loud!

Yes, the swearing is optional. If bad language is going to get in the way of you defending yourself and the rights of billions of others who suffer at the hands of corporate and bankster criminals, then stand up nicely. Jeez…

But say it firmly. And mean it. Whether you like it or not you are in a war for your future. Are you going to fight?

If you were instructed to fight in one of their poxy wars you’d be fed all that crap about your duty and honour to die for the bastards. Millions have heard it, millions have died.

Well you have a duty to yourself too, and the people around you. And your kids.

An exciting, star-studded line-up at Chilcott’s theatre in the coming few days. Here’s the performers’ roster, should be worth a watch if Ashcroft’s hysterical cameo is anything to judge by. Do you see how childishly plain and flawed these individuals are when you pull away their rock?

Tune in – it’s free(ish)!

If a corporation was a living, breathing being, what sort of person would it be? Not somebody you’d want to meet in a dark alley.

I’m off on my hols right now so I’ve scheduled for each day a video I’ve found interesting. Hope you do too.

This is a blog about the ongoing war of terror being waged by multinational corporations against billions of civilians everywhere on the planet, and the corrupted politicians who are their accomplices in murder, pillage, fraud, theft and every other manner of vice conceivable.
