On September 17, 2011, Occupy Wall Street (OWS), a diffuse group of mostly white middle class young people began a loosely organized protest in New York’s financial district. The group planned to camp out for some extended period in Zuccotti Park, a privately owned park in Lower Manhattan open to the public. This protest against corporate greed and social inequality and other disparities between rich and poor in the United States and around the world was fueled by their own anger and frustration at living in a country in the throes of a capitalist economic crisis where their own personal futures looked grim while the government was propping up and bailing out the super rich, the very people responsible for the crisis! http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/43044-occupy-wall-street-why-this-rebellion-deserves-our-support-On September 17, 2011, Occupy Wall Street (OWS), a diffuse group of mostly white... more

The six Freedom Riders chose to board a bus that serves Jewish-only settlements in the West Bank on it's way to Occupied East Jerusalem, wearing kuffiyehs (Palestinian scarfs) and t-shirts reading 'Justice', 'Freedom', and 'We Shall Overcome'. They took this bold action to expose the racism and policies of segregation that pervade every aspect of life in occupied Palestine. To send the message to the world that separate is not equal. Not in the United States and not in Israel or Palestine. They also wanted to bring attention to the role of Israeli and international companies, such as Egged and Veolia, who operate these segreated bus lines, in perpetuating and profiting from the occupation. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/43025-forbidden-roadsThe six Freedom Riders chose to board a bus that serves Jewish-only settlements in the... more

The founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, attended the protests in London that are part of a worldwide action against corporate greed and austerity measures. Assange said that he was there to show his solidarity with the Occupy London movement, which was inspired by the Occupy Wall Street protests in the US. Assange traveled to London from his friend Vaughan Smith's country mansion in Suffolk, eastern England. Assange is living there on bail as he fights extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning over allegations of rape and sexual assault made by two women.The founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, attended the protests in London that are... more

In January 2008 some members of an Internet-based collective known as Anonymous began actions against the Church of Scientology that are continuing. They designated their collective action “Project Chanology.” The originations of Project Chanology, its structure, its decision-making process, and its methods of protesting are collectively unique. Project Chanology shows the new types of social networking and activism that can spring from the instant communication the Internet provides. Understanding Project Chanology will provide a template for understanding such future movements and their actions........ http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/42986-the-war-hackers-vs-scientology-project-chanologyIn January 2008 some members of an Internet-based collective known as Anonymous began... more

Direct action is part of creating direct democracy, but the student protests saw the media painting a caricature of anarchism. Protesters are never a homogenous group, but those who protested under the anti-cuts banner last week were united in the view that the marketisation of higher education should be opposed. Typically, however, property destruction magically transformed a sizeable subset into "anarchists", and gave a green light to the general dismissal of their concerns. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/12738-what-anarchism-really-means-history-of-anarchist-studies-networkDirect action is part of creating direct democracy, but the student protests saw the... more

Since we aren't all brothers, the world is what it is, and in many places at Christmas there isn't much to celebrate. The French Revolution had as its cornerstones Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. The first two words were often used as political slogans, more or less sincere, but it's the third word the most important. Fraternity, or Brotherhood, in fact means understanding that what happens to my brothers also concerns me.

With the upcoming trial, 5 men will come face to face with the death sentence for the atrocities of 9/11. Without question the people who are at fault deserve to be punished but is it fair to limit the trial to only 5 possible suspects? If the answer is yes. Consider changing your mind after watching this...

Now I know, 20 minutes is longer than our attention span but give it a chance, if you aren't convinced there's more to the story after 5 minutes, keep watching. By the end if you're still not convinced there is a higher power creating this awe-full situation then, "We've got a Winner" and you're it.

Art video of a painting I did on an old video arcade glass panel from the 80's. I obtained this because of the great artwork on the borders. I knew it would be a challenge to preserve the work from further deterioration and to create a painting to go with it. Original art was done by Watson and looks like a silk screen process. My original work is a state of the art reversed painting process.

"Barack Obama's inauguration marks a profound manifestation of the Rev. Martin Luther King's dream, civil rights leaders say, but the movement would be foolish to drop its guard now.
King did not fight tirelessly and ultimately give his life so African-Americans could take office; he fought for the disenfranchised and downtrodden, no matter their color, said Charles Steele, president and CEO of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which King and Steele's father helped found.
"President-elect Barack Obama is just a piece of the puzzle," he said. "This tells us that we are at a station, but it's not our destination. We've got to get back on the train."
Steele said he worries that those who espouse King's dream may grow lackadaisical because an African-American has taken the reins of the free world. But it is imperative, he said, that they "march now more than ever before."
This article is specifically about the Black civil rights movement, but let's not forget about the other movements out there that should also be inspired by Obama's ability to change the face of the nation! If you stand for something, stand proud and get your message out there! Obama represents great things, but we're not done yet!"Barack Obama's inauguration marks a profound manifestation of the Rev.... more

Harper's got his Herbert Hoover on, the Canadians better boot him out, or they'll be hitting the bottom sooner than they think.
Canada got there the same way the US, and other countries got there: Media manipulation, lies and deceit. Right wing extremists know they can't win on the merits of their policies, because the policies have no merit for the average people. They serve only the rich and can only win elections by cheating or convincing the public through media manipulation that the "conservatives" make policies in the interest of common folk. Ha...

I've been tired of the holiday season since Halloween. What's with trampling people to death, store clerks screaming at shoppers, and waking up at the crack of dawn for "deals"?
Luckily there's a light at the end of the tunnel and that is buying handmade goods. In fact, there's a pledge out there to support smart shopping. I think we need a revolution. A handmade revolution!
Go check out the blog where you can sign up to take the pledge, and see links to some pretty nifty Etsy shops!
