Today's Good Reads

Woden's Day 12 December 2007

"All the news that gives others fits to print."

Compiled By John "Birdman" Bryant

"Strike while the irony is hot." --JBR Yant

"The time for violence is when they come for your guns." --JBR Yant

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst; the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!"
-- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

"Ideas are more dangerous than guns. We don't let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas?" --Josef Stalin

"[Do not] suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberty [to publish] by any pretenses of politeness, delicacy or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice." --John Adams

Search for the truth is the noblest occupation of man; its publication is a duty.
--Madame de Stael

"People will sometimes forgive you if your are wrong; but they will never forgive you if you are RIGHT." --Socrates

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change
the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has."
--Margaret Mead

If you're going to fight, fight smart. Martyrs are a lot less valuable than victories. --JBR Yant

The key to being free is to fight back. --JBR Yant

If you will not fight for your rights when you can easily win without bloodshed -- if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly -- then you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival.
There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
--Winston Churchill

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
-- H.L. Mencken
Birdman comment: Did somebody say "The War on Terror"?

Freedom begins between the ears. --Edward Abbey

"The smallest good deed is worth the grandest intention."


The true patriot is often one who loves his country and hates his government. For this reason, the Birdman suggests that we junk the old jingoistic carte-blanche-for-the-pols pledge to the flag, and substitute the Birdman's

TRUE PATRIOT'S PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

"I pledge allegiance to the Constitution, and to limited government and personal freedom for which it stands: Free speech and press, the right to keep and bear arms, limited taxation, secure property, sound money, the right to associate and do business freely, the right to preserve our nation and culture as the communally-owned property of its native citizens, and in general the right to be free of alien influence and government intrusion without urgent reason."


The following are books that every intelligent and educated person should read:

Alien Agenda - Jim Marrs

Remote Viewers - Jim Schnabel

The Franklin Coverup - John DeCamp

Inventing the AIDS Virus - Peter Duesberg

Defrauding America - Rodney Stich

Beyond Supernature - Lyall Watson

If your local library doesn't have them, they can probably be obtained thru an interlibrary loan request.

** The Spirit of Christmas **

The spirit of Christmas is giving. Yes, for many people, Christmas is mostly about getting and hardly at all about giving, but then such people do not understand what makes Christmas an institution that is irrevocably tied to our culture and our religion. Furthermore, they do not EXPERIENCE Christmas as ordinary people do, because they do not realize that one cannot feel good about THINGS the way one can feel good about PERSONS. Or perhaps we should say that such people have long ago given up hope of feeling anything much about others aside of hurt, anger, hate and other negative emotions, because they have never learned how to live in the world and enjoy the good feeling that arises naturally among friends who understand the spirit of giving, and thus the spirit of Christmas.

There is, however, a certain error in saying that the spirit of Christmas is giving, because the spirit of Christmas is one that is most enjoyed and most appreciated when it is one's mindset every day of the year. Yes, Christmas is a special time of year when the Great Wheel in the Sky has reached its lowest ebb, when the temperature is the lowest and the days the shortest, and when the warmth of friendship and caring is most needed for the psychological Long Haul thru the dead winter months that precede the Spring. The spirit of Christmas is needed because human beings -- bluff and bluster as they may -- are fragile at their core, and need the warmth and touch of friendliness that comes from those around them.

But if the spirit of Christmas is giving, it is not the sort of mindless giving that breeds parasites, or invokes resentment from those unwilling or unable to accept the obligation of being gifted. It is rather a spirit of COMMUNICATION, in which we tell others that we are kind and caring, and that our intent is to let a small shaft of light into their life. Our gifts may be small or large, but our very best gift is our good feelings which the gift expresses -- a small piece of ourselves which can be appreciated because it is the genuine article.

But unfortunately, so many of us are insensitive to the spirit of Christmas because we are unable to walk a mile in others' shoes. For us, all too often, we are preoccupied with our money and our things and our little world, and can hardly spare a minute to realize that we are a part of the web of life which extends as an invisible bond connecting all men. It is true enuf that we cannot solve the world's problems by ourselves, but it is equally true that we can -- so to speak -- keep our own doorstep clean: We can embrace with the spirit of Christmas those who are our neighbors and associates, so that our little corner of the universe can be at ease and at rest and at peace. And if this is what everyone does, and not just ourselves, then that truly WILL solve the entire world's problems.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Again, Merry Christmas!

This is despicable, please forward to your local news stations so that the government can take notice and punish those responsible. I don't want the freedom that they fight for if that means they are over there doing despicable things to defenseless animals. And yes I know, Not all of them are like this, but I am 100% certain that many are just like with abu ghraib, accept this is worse, as animals are more defenseless then humans.

Quote: "Merck drug company vaccines admits injecting cancer viruses
This stunning censored interview conducted by medical historian Edward Shorter for WGBH public television (Boston) and Blackwell Science was cut from The Health Century due to its huge liability -- the admission that Merck drug company vaccines have traditionally been injecting cancer viruses (SV40 and others) in people worldwide.
This segment of In Lies We Trust: The CIA, Hollywood & Bioterrorism, produced and freely contributed by consumer protector and public health expert, Dr. Leonard Horowitz [02][03], features the world's leading vaccine expert, Dr. Maurice Hilleman, who explains why Merck's vaccines have spread AIDS, leukemia, and other horrific plagues worldwide."

Young Pakistanis: Bin Laden Is a CIA Creation
"Good Morning America" gets more than it bargained for
in a feature on young people in Pakistan
An ABC news piece that ran yesterday morning attracted attention
after four Pakistanis who were being interviewed about the attitudes
and life of young people in Pakistan declared Osama Bin Laden
to be a creation of western intelligence and stressed that
Islamic extremist attitudes towards the west
were virtually non existent in their country before 9/11.
ABC have since pulled the video footage from their website,
but an industrious Prison Planet forum member grabbed
the footage and uploaded it to Youtube.
