Hey America, are we really going to let Bradley Manning rot in jail for blowing the whistle on the immoral acts of our military and government? It's been a year-and-a-half with no trial...and no evidence. He's also a kid.
It seems as though they are treating him as a traitor.
Wikipedia: "the word 'traitor' may be used to describe a person who betrays (or is accused of betraying) their own political party, nation, family, friends, ethnic group, team, religion..., social class, or other group to which they may belong. Often, such accusations are controversial and disputed, as the person may not identify with the group of which they are a member, or may otherwise disagree with the group leaders making the charge."
If blowing the whistle on the most powerful nation in the world covering up human rights violations is traitorous, then being a "traitor" might just be the next big thing.
Watch out America...fix it, or get fix'd.

Occupy Wall Street for Obama
NPR news, November 17, 2011:
"Occupy Wall Street protesters are switching tactics after camps were dispersed by Police. Demonstrators are now sitting in large groups in the middle of traffic surrounding the financial district and disrupting business as usual. Police presence is quite heavy, and they are making hundreds of arrests."
I wonder if they are ever going to use those empty FEMA camps for surly protesters.
Did you guys notice that when asked about the Occupy movement, Obama said, "they have reason to be there." He's got to be loving the civil action. He was raised during the marches that changed the US in the 1960s, and by "working with" some of the backwards conservative policy, the People are finding out real quick what we DON'T LIKE.
Obama needs us to march and tell it like it is. If he does it, they will just call him a liberal and stone wall him. It's up to us to make the precedent that enables the president to move with the will of the People.

Today is the greatest...day we've ever known
Remember, remember the 5th of November, visit your credit union, become a member, leave the big banks, so they will remember and save yours with those who consider it tender.

99% Means WE, the People
Once we realize WE are the 99%, that means we can live however we want to live, and the government can't tell US otherwise. The People determine the laws in this country, and we don't need a government to vote on what's acceptable and what's not.
When WE change, the government must change with US.
When WE change, the government must change with US.

Modern Day Translation of Jesus
"Jesus is Lord who died for the sins of all mankind and then rose from the dead to ascend to paradise in the sky."
It IS a bit frustrating to read how the Council of Nicea translated it in 325, especially if one were to extrapolate the desire for control of man's soul thru Jesus' martyrdom by the Roman Catholic church. If I were to translate, it would be:
"Jesus was a highly advanced student (and eventual teacher) of metaphysics who demonstrated how simple it is to heal thru prayer, but he became so feared and misunderstood by the people in power around him (due to the masses gathering in his support), he was publicly crucified for his beliefs. He further proved thru his resurrection that Mind really can conquer matter, and his following grew as a result. His "ascension" might've happened (based on his understanding that the physical world is a dream), or it could just be a metaphor for the influence his philosophy (and practice) had on human beings which spread all over the planet."

The Frozen Food Section ~ Swingin Battle Axes
http://locashmagazine.com/tag/jonathan-toth-from-hoth/
September 29, 2011
By Sikboy
Jonathan Toth From Hoth and Tucker Booth battled the heat this summer by spreading the frozen word from Saint Louis to L.A. and many spots along the way. Created in 1999 their first official release Jonathan Toth from Hoth’s Brainwashing was released in 02. Starting from the brain trust of Artist/Producer/Engineer J-Toth and Artist/PR director Tucker Booth, the Frozen Food umbrella now covers around 20 artist with styles galore. Since its conception the FFS has released over 40 projects from various artist. From Digital to CD’s and Vinyl, you can pick up nearly a decade of spirited indie Hip-Hop here http://thefrozenfoodsection.com/store/ also many projects are available for free download at the crews various bandcamp sites I’ll list below.
This year brought 3 official ice-cold releases from the FFS as well as some mixtapes being circulated by Tucker. Kamatoth Cocktails with Kama from the Earthworms the Men With Beards album produced by new Frozen producer Mike G and The Book Of Toth, the 4th solo release from J-Toth. “I love pressing music, although it’s not always possible, some products are digital. We make as much music as possible and then pick through what sounds good” proclaims Toth.
The newer Frozen label mates Tax Free, Tenacious the Terrist and Underated all have new releases in the works all mastered at The Cooler the infamous FFS studio/HQ in the heart of the U-City Loop in Saint Louis. As for the new talent Toth says “We’re into finding good talent that wants to excel at just being good, we try to consistently crank out good, original, precedent setting music. We want to keep out name in people’s mouths and out music in their ears, We’re the Frozen Food Section it only gets better!” The FFS is definitely making moves including a shiny new website on the way.
On the West Coast front FFS West Director Tucker Booth has taken it back to his roots and that is playing Guitar in the streets and emcee battle mode at a fever pitch. Winning the S.L.U.M.fest 2011 battle in STL this summer and last month’s Sounds of the Cave battle in L.A., Tucker’s on a winning streak with another L.A. battle scheduled in October. Check out these rounds in L.A. Tucker Booth Vs. Profane from Hustle or Die.
This battle spawned a mix tape session with Tucker and the Hustle or Die Crew featuring Profane,Gambit and C.A. San Pedro, CA. emcees with a strong following of their own. “It took everything I had and then some to beat these guys, 9 rounds with Gambit 5 with Profane, I was sweating it all the way. We had many extra rounds, it was often to close to call it” Tuck Truth also appeared on the Sounds of the Cave internet radio show on the www.killradio.org network. Also on that network is the Radio Sendiddy show which Tucker has Co-hosted several times with Dj and Radio personality Dj Bob-E. (see killradio.org in articles)
As for playing guitar in the streets Mr. Fly Folk Rapper as he’s sometimes known says “It’s a round about way to break into the business, but it’s still bearing fruit.” I have also heard many times from Tucker that it just something he loves doing. Playing at Farmer’s Markets is how he met Dj Bob-E and it gives him an outlet to sell FFS CD’s and promote his shows and besides who doesn’t like tips for doing something you love?
All this recent activity has been documented by videographer Blu, who has been bombing You Tube like a B-52, with footage of all the battles, radio shows, and mix tape sessions. A new Video blog by Tucker and Blu called Suffering Lessons had also recently hit the web. The new Video series interviews of emcee’s from everywhere remembering their favorite battles along with exclusive footage and each one ends with an on the spot freestyle session with each guest.
“I’m super stoked about my new video blog Suffering Lessons and the whole idea of remembering rap battles (big or small) from throughout hip hop history. I know that I have played a microscopic but nonetheless entertaining role in the development of St. Louis’s talented battle rap scene and look forward to carrying the torch as most unfuckwitable emcee on into my proper middle age. Can you imagine a 40-year-old man still whipping 20 year olds at battling? Think Jay-Z except goofy and white and autistic…..WTF??? Tucker says about the new project.
You can check it at http://www.youtube.com/user/MrBluwho. The FFS has been putting in some serious work and it’s polished like James Brown’s shoe’s. Anybody like free music? Check out the Frozen Bandcamps here, Much love ~ Sikboy

Letter to the Co-conspirators of 9-11
9-11-2011
Dear sirs,
We are shocked and awed at your audacity to murder our fellow human beings in a business decision to destroy the World Trade Towers, and accrue insurance money, stock market splits and an increase in funding via the Patriot Act. Your strategy of using fear to sway US public opinion through the symbolic destruction of American greatness is cowardly, monstrous and sad. You have betrayed the Constitution and proved you will justify treason to obtain your desired ends. Killing fellow citizens in an orchestrated method to secure more power is the immoral act of a traitor. You do not have the shared interests of the People, so We, the People no longer need your leadership, your products, or your laws. We do not wish to avenge our dead brothers and sisters with more bloodshed, because that would only continue to further violence. Instead, we seek a WIN-WIN solution for all mankind interested who wish to be harmonious and open to Love as our guide instead of fear.
US law is inspirational and unifying when used for fair, objective justice, but like any great computer program, an update is necessary every once in awhile. Currently, money dictates the law, and that is the definition of corruption. For those people in power who wish to further our American greatness, please update our system: blow the whistle on those in power who are abusing their positions, and let them face the consequences of their actions. 9-11 was the greatest, malicious hoax ever pulled on our civilization, but now that we know who they are and why they did it, their power is no longer valid to us. We, the People, are unified through our trust of each other and love of humanity. Only love can make heaven possible on Earth, so until you give up murder as an option for “rational” policy, you are no longer welcome here.
We appreciate your resignation immediately.
Peace,
The People
