Re: Beginning of the End of Empire

Read the interview and be kind enough to reproduce for us the 'incitement to violence' sections, there's a good chap.

Your words: "A plea for American rebellion"

Be a good boy, and explain how you envision this "rebellion" for which you are begging would happen.

Re: Beginning of the End of Empire

Let's at least try reading the link, even if the terror of exposure prevents us from clicking on it;

Al Jazeera English - Americas - US 'in need of rebellion'

Ultimately power rests on the moral legitimacy of a system and the United States has been losing moral legitimacy.

Thanks for cheering me on in reading the link. I did. I'm questioning your words calling for an "American rebellion". Got it? Now, if you - not Howard, you - have an idea of how this rebellion should come about, all you have to do is say it's the same plan as Howard's. Somehow I don't believe that is the case; thus my question.

Now is your chance to clarify.

Re: Beginning of the End of Empire

I'm being offered action with the VP nominee by email !!

The decline that Zinn documents is only too evident. Even the Presidential elections have become the butt of jokes, worldwide.

umm, if you read that link, Howard does not have a specific plan, just a few guidelines.

My plan is through agressive education of reality. I plan on writing books that shatter the legitimacy of the american capitalist empire.

Re: Beginning of the End of Empire

Education is the only way to fight Gullibility.

Also I recommend that Americans travel more.... I dont know where I've read that the vast majority of the population doesnt have a passport. They gota travel to learn more about different cultures and what goes on outside their borders.

Re: Beginning of the End of Empire

Do we get to invade Chechnya next time Russia does a military action there to keep their own break away republic as part of their country?

I got a passport, been to Canada, Mexico, Belize, and the Cayman Islands. Would like to go to Europe and Asia at some point. Maybe hit up some South American sites as well. I would suggest Americans to go to Belize, you get a good idea of what a poorer country is like, and you don't have to go extremely far. Great people and beautiful land. Canada just felt like America too me for the most part and I didn't get to see a lot of Mexico, just hit Cancun and Cozumel which are tourist sites so they are a bit Americanized and so is Cayman Islands, but you got to go to the Cayman Islands, they are beautiful.
