Barbarians

Here is a fine example of civility.

And I guess if its good enough for the Dictator,

It is good enough for the Brits.

This is funny, in a dark, Monty Python sort of way.

Maybe everyone in war should wear their underwear.

According to Bill Maher, these are the New Rules.

And just in case you missed it,

Here is the US Senate getting a rare look

at what truth looks like,

While showing their rears too.

Its about 45 minutes long.

And here is a nice piece from Scott Ritter:

He says,

"George Galloway, the politician in question, stared down the US Senate subcommittee on homeland security and government affairs, and its notoriously partisan chairman Norm Coleman, and blasted as totally unfounded the committee's allegations that he had profited from oil vouchers in exchange for his anti-war stance. He emerged from the hearing victorious. If only more politicians, British and American alike, were able to display such courage in the face of the atmosphere of neoconservative intimidation prevalent in Washington these days.

But mainstream America still seems unable to digest the horrific reality that the MP's testimony underscored: that Senator Coleman's McCarthy-like hearings are but a smoke screen for a crime of horrific proportions. "

Just who are the Barbarians?

Something Happening

There's something happening here,
what it is ain't exactly clear.
There's a man with a gun over there,
telling me I've got to beware.

I think it's time we stop, children,
what's that sound,
everybody look, what's going down.

There's battle lines are being drawn.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Young people speaking their minds
are getting so much resistance from behind.

Time we stop, hey, what's that sound,
everybody look, what's going down.

What a field day for the heat.
A thousand people in the street
singing songs and carrying signs,
mostly say "hooray for our side."

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound,
everybody look, what's going down.

Paranoia strikes deep.
Into your life it will creep.
It starts when you're always afraid.
Step outta line, the man come and take you away.

We better stop, hey, what's that sound,
everybody look, what's going down.
We better stop, hey, what's that sound,
everybody look, what's going down.
We better stop, hey, what's that sound,
everybody look, what's going down.
We better stop, hey, what's that sound,
everybody look, what's going down…

Earthfamily Principals

These posts over the last few weeks and months reflect many of the principles of Earthfamilyalpha.

Here are the ones that seem really important.

The Earthfamily embraces cooperation over competition.

The Earthfamily believes in the efficacy of nonviolence.

The Earthfamily calls for corporate punishment that fits the crime.

We believe that people can use the new communication tools found in the internet and in our advanced communication devices to create new inventions of social contract that can transcend the geographic state-not replace it or rebel against it, but transcend it.

We believe that as we approach a technological singularity, we will need these bonds to maintain our place on the planet as free individuals capable of competing with powerful government controls and corporate hegemony.

The Earthfamily believes that declining oil reserves and Peak Oil will force the geographic states to compete for the remaining reserves, and thus create global uncertainty and stress for most of the developed and developing world.

We see that Climate Change will further exacerbate this uncertainty and this stress. We believe that Accelerated Technological Change will create opportunities and challenges that must be managed in creative and peaceful ways.

The Earthfamily sees renewable energy and hydrogen as the fuel and energy carrying system of the future. We imagine nanobased power paints that convert photonic energy to electronic energy at prices that will break the existing energy markets.

We believe that an advanced solar hydrogen economy can be created that can change everything if we will only allow that change to occur.

We know that a political system that is dominated by the corporate interests will in fact, in a democracy, represent those interests who dominate. This is not evil, it is economics.

We have come to realize that we must create a new global family that can respond to our needs, our hopes, and our right to the pursuit of happiness. We are aware that we are all crewmembers of Spaceship Earth.

We respect the boundaries of geographic states, but we know that they are archaic relics of a mind and consciousness that is rapidly advancing to global awareness.

We believe that humankind is capable of living in an awakened state which will in time, bring the promise of true peace and prosperity into our lives and communities.

We hold that the promise of a bright tomorrow can only be reached by letting go of the past. We believe in the dignity of humankind and in the oneness of our creation.

We know that it is indeed a miracle and a gift.

And it is ours to love and cherish.
