It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted. Lately things have been busy in my life, certain changes taking place. I am curently working on a literary visual project which is important to me. I am also in a new relationship with a most amazing woman! Blogging has taken a backseat for now. However with that said, the situation in the U.S. is getting much grimmer for U.S. imperialism and monopoly capitalism.
More recently, there has been quite alot of movement for the Louisiana Jena Six, (six African Americans who stood up against segregation and racism in their school and community and who are being targeted by the state and government for their resistance), and the movement to Return and to Rebuild New Orleans, in which the International Tribunal on Katrina and Rita shows the failure of the US state in actually providing assistance to the people of New Orleans and exposes the criminal activities of the US state and government against the people. For more information on this please visit www.usmlo.org:

In addition to this, is the ongoing activities of the U.S. imperialists to militarize the society. Part of this is the role of the police, of which the NYPD, is trying to establish as a standard for all police throughout the country. Here is the report and analysis of this:

Another part of the militarization of society is the military excercises of NORTHCOM [Northern Command] and NORAD known as Vigilant Shield 2008. Here is the article: http://www.usmlo.org/arch2007/2007-09/VR070925.htm#02

In the world of art, I am currently impressed by the work of Matthew Woodson, whose work can be found here: www.ghostco.org His illustrations are awesome!
