Occupy Liberation

The spirit of justice is nothing other than the supreme and perfect flower of the madness of love. - Simone Weil



I heard Chris Hedges say, "true spirituality is always an act of rebellion." So I made this.

A collage of Jewish, Christian, Muslim, interfaith and post-religious services at Occupy Wall Street, the faces of Spanish Indignants, and images of police brutality and mass mobilization from Oakland, set to the music of Martyn Bennett's "Liberation."

All credit to the original videographers, the late Martyn Bennett, and the Occupiers and Indignants of the world.

A golden calf was rejected.
A "golden bull" is rejected.

Will Occupy be able to occupy more places than there are police? Stay tuned...

I liked your blog a lot better a couple of years ago, before it got scary. Back when I thought you were crazy.

Hey Jeff,

What do you think of the late Jim Keith? Don't wish to speak ill of the dead, perhaps he was murdered? Dead at age 50.

Seems his research was pretty solid from what limited exposure I've had of him..drawing from Mae Brussell, etc.

Another Scientology related guy, but then again, so was Bill Burroughs for a while.

Thanks in advance, don't have the time (actually I'm too lazy) to join the discussion board...

Cheers,

Freddy Elton

Sorry the board's been down today. Drew tells me he's found the error and is reimporting the database. We should be good in an hour or two. (And let's give Drew lots of love when we're back!)

You know what? I'm done with this dump. There needs to be far more done to ensure the uptime and user experience. I'm going elsewhere.

J/K

Merry Christmas, everyone, and can't wait to see you all on the flipside. Good job again, Drew.

I couldn't love Drew any more than I do already. My faith in his ability is unbounded. I know he will fix it as soon as he is able.

And your video made me cry Jeff. It was very beautiful. Thank you.

God bless you and your kin.

And God bless the peaceful revolution.

Hammer.

Can you see the line between
2011 and 2012?
Today and yesterday?
There is the old day -
To measure, to delve and record.
The archeological mind
Sorts out its reasons,
True in their seasons,
Assigning a meaning to feel,
And a form and dimension
And colors to shape the unseen
Into a story complete
And a world understood,
Until the line moves…

There are no tools
To hold the line intact.
There are no rules
That make the line a fact.
Each word here,
Each word that moved the mind
And changed the story
Changed the world.
Here is the new day -
Happy New Year!

We're switching servers. There's a more recent blog note about it.
