Amazing that we live in a free speech demographic of the population and have areal place to state the injustice in many ways, but have no listeners to hear!

A new generation of writers Rebecca Solnit, Mike Davis, and Gray Brechin are intriguing us into seeing our familiar surroundings with new eyes. They also offer a different perspective on the radical transformation that development and venture capital have brought to so many cities. San Francisco, formerly famous for taking a travelers heart away, is now reaching for the soul and the wallet. A dot com boom combined with the growing biotechnology industry have driven housing prices up and residents and local small businesses out.
Rebecca Solnit says she wrote Hollow City in a hurry to document the beauty and rich culture that was being destroyed, and to inspire the growing movement of resistance. The publisher Verso said about the book that it shows that wealth is just as capable of ravaging cities as poverty.

It's like something out of a crime thriller, only it actually happened. Frequently, in fact, sometimes by doctors, other times by novices, and sometimes by ladies in training who belonged to a collective dedicated to getting women decent reproductive care in Chicago from 1969 to1973. They were known simply as Jane or the Jane Service because the women who answered the phones always used the pseudonym 'Jane'.... More formally their title was The Abortion Counseling Service of Womenâs Liberation.

It is music that is as overwhelming today as it ever was, and its power goes beyond the tragedy of one man unable to cope with the world. This is beauty fully realized and the fulfilment of what began as a punk DIY ideal but became so much more. Because of its incredible power and because they could go on, the story of Joy Division is ultimately a positive one.

NATO maneuvers and countries of clay
June 17, 2013, 6:01 p.m.
The carving-up of the old Ottoman Empire continues 100 years later. Iraq exists as an entity on a map, but it is already de-facto at least two. We know why. NATO is moving its regional headquarters from Greece to Turkey, consolidating two military commands.
In Jordan, NATO is leaving behind a bevy of troops and missiles for later unspecified use. Ideas of sovereignty and states are becoming almost mythical in that region. Whole countries are treated like clay.
The finger is on the button to launch strikes on Syria. It can happen at any time. The largest conflict since the second world war is looming into view.

Syria, WMDs, and stopping terror - Here we go again
June 17, 2013, 5:30 p.m.
Stephen Gowans addresses the question of chemical weapons - "The evidence does not tell us how and when the individuals were exposed, or who was responsible." We've started with the premise that Assad did it, and now just need to fit the evidence to the crime.
Real experts are needed to make judgements - the White House itself referred to a broken "chain of custody" in the samples. But we need the rebels to win, so it's time to gear up the lie machine.
Guess who is eating up the lies? The media, of course. But you have brains. Carla Del Ponte already talked about the rebel use of chemicals. Put it together.
Rev. Susie the Floozie's Xist Interlude
June 17, 2013, 1:26 p.m.
Yes, seekers! X-Day, July 5th, the date of cosmic deliverance for all SubGeniuses, is zooming up on us! Get ready to board the Xist pleasure saucers with this soothing soundtrack...It begins with a parody of a WREK staple, the EARTH & SKY bit--then grab yer ankles, because this is a preview of what's in store for us all in just a few short weeks! Our off-planet future is deliciously delineated by a stellar host of luminaries, including...
The ever-swinging Frank Sinatra!
Donovan and his "Intergalactic Laxative"!
A lyrical, goosebump-inducing soprano song "Someday I'll Walk among the Stars" from UP WITH PEOPLE, of all places--a song that will finally wipe that goddamned horrible "Gimme God Blues" song out of my head from three weeks ago!
A kids' album version of STAR TREK narrated by an old guy who sounds like he's wearing dentures!
A bit of that addled dingbat Uriel and her mushmouthed "Greens, Frens!" salutation!
Crazy redneck abductees sitting around the trailer explaining to a too-sympathetic interviewer exactly WHAT the aliens are doing with all those inbred love children they've harvested from hillbilly ova!
And two songs by The Tinklers--one of which, titled "Randy," is the most heartbreakingly accurate testament of what cosmic deliverance means to the typical teenaged SubGenius: "I'm not from here, I'm from spaaaaace...!"
YES, SEEKERS! It's time to start thinking HARD about it--because EVERY DAY BRINGS US CLOSER TO X-DAY!!!
