Quote: Be Heroes in an Army of Construction!

Congress is not preparing to defend the people of the United States. It is planning to protect the capital of American speculators and investors.... Incidentally this preparation will benefit the manufacturers of munitions and war machines.... Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought! Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder! Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings! Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction! Be heroes in an army of construction!

-Helen Keller at Carnegie Hall January 5, 1916

A Video For Your Viewing Pleasure

I guess I am letting myself spend a chunk of the day, checking out my favorite sites and finding new ones.  In light of the information about AmpedStatus.com in the post below, I thought you might enjoy this video about Anonymous.  The group is making it possible for AmpedStatus.com to maintain a new social network.  After seeing this I would love to get more info. about Anonymous.  I love hearing about what they have been up to.  Here is the link to an exciting video with an inspiring story.

Facebook Bought by the Big Banks

Have you thought about the fact that the revolution in Egypt was brought about with the help of social networking sites such as facebook and twitter?  And since then, both these important social networking sites have been bought by the very same big banks, JP Morgan and Goldman Saks, that brought the world economy to its' knees?  Couriouser and couriouser.

AmpedStatus.com is an independent news site.  This is what they have to say about themselves.
"AmpedStatus.com is reader funded. Unlike most other so-called independent" news sites, we are not funded by partisan foundations or political organizations. We are not a mouthpiece for either wing of the Two-Party Oligarchy. We are fiercely independent and committed to citizen empowerment through the dissemination of critical information."
Their website began being attacked several weeks ago which caused them to be unable to stay online and eventually caused over 100 other sites to go down as well.  Needless to say, their server decided not to carry them any longer and the cost of trying to do that for themselves was prohibitive.  Check out this video to find out what happened.
ampedstatus.org 
And while you are there, become a member of their new social networking site. This is a site not owned by big money and hopefully will not ever be. 

Some New Websites and Blogs about Money and Banks

Her is some important information about how for-profit banks and all those greedy, wheelers-dealers that helped cause our financial crises manipulate and create money in order to take us all to the cleaners.

It isn't hard to understand.  It all makes sense if you think about it.  North Dakota has had a state bank for decades that was created to SERVE THE PEOPLE of the state.  That is its' mission.  It is also not facing a deficit.  It never took part in the practices that almost destroyed the global economy.  And apparently, several other States are considering establishing their own banks.  So I am posting a couple of websites to check out.  Prepare to experience flashes of insight!

Reading some websites and blogs dealing with the idea that Capitalism cannot be green.

I'm going to put more of these links into my blog list and list of links.  Wish I had time to publish some of my thoughts but maybe later.  *Tip:  Charles Hugh Smith, who does a couple of blogs called "Of Two Minds," and "punkscience," has written a book called, "Survival +: Structuring Prosperity for Yourself and the Nation."  I'm thinking this might be a good read.  I'll let you know.
