“

The anarchist critique of modern society means:

“to seek out and identify structures of authority, hierarchy, and domination in every aspect of life, and to challenge them; unless a justification for them can be given, they are illegitimate, and should be dismantled, to increase the scope of human freedom. That includes political power, ownership and management, relations among men and women, parents and children, our control over the fate of future generations (the basic moral imperative behind the environmental movement…), and much else. Naturally this means a challenge to the huge institutions of coercion and control: the state, the unaccountable private tyrannies that control most of the domestic and international economy [i.e. capitalist corporations and companies], and so on. But not only these.”

”

life:

J.R. Eyerman’s peek inside the opening-night screening of Bwana Devil, the first full-length color 3-D feature, certainly is peculiar: Men and women, young and old all angle in the same direction, formally dressed but for those silly specs over their eyes.

Funny as it is, with the audience members coming off like clones of an alien species, there’s also prescience in the photo — not just about the emergence of special effects in cinema but also, on a deeper level, about the hypnotizing nature of our entertainment.

A Narco Polo comic by former inner-city teacher and public defender, Rob Arthur. Here’s a snippet from Rob’s website:

The Science

One way in which creativity can be described is the ability to find new and novel connections between concepts. In scientific terms the ability to find connections between words is called semantic priming. A 2010 study published in Psychiatry Research found that the use of marijuana induces a state of hyper-priming. (9) When presented with an activation word, subjects reacted faster to distantly-related words when high than when sober. (For a neuroscience journalist’s take on this study go here.) The flow of loose associations promoted by marijuana is a real phenomenon.

Credit goes to Jason Silva for introducing me to this study. His article on marijuana’s “butterfly effect” on thought can be found here.

Abolish JROTC from our schools

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 22:24:00 -0400

Soldiers are trained to obey orders instantly,without questioning them.
-Army JROTC Textbook, Vol 2, Page 185

Fascism, in short, is not only the giver of laws and
the founder of institutions, but the educator and
promoter of spiritual life. It wants to remake, not
the forms of life, but its content, man, character,
faith. And to this end it requires discipline and
authority that can enter into the spirits of men and
there govern unopposed.
-Benito Mussolini, Italian Encyclopedia, 1932

Respect for authority and discipline go hand
in hand, but the first one to be acquired must
be discipline. Self-discipline involves
voluntary acceptance of authority.
-Air Force JROTC Textbook, Vol 1, Page 65

My Honor is Loyalty.
-Nazi SS slogan etched in their daggers

Among the traits of a good follower, loyalty is
at the top of the list. This means loyalty to
those above us on the chain of command,
whether or not we agree with them.
-Navy JROTC textbook, Vol 1, Page 24

JROTC :

Almost all schools feel that one of their primary
obligations is to tech critical thinking where young people
are able to solve “real world” problems. Instead, JROTC
teaches unquestioning amoral obedience and loyalty to
” leaders,” regardless of whether they are right or wrong.
The military teaches that “leadership,” blind obedience to
authority and “honor” are one in the same thing and that
this is the military’s most respected personality
characteristic. The military drills JROTC cadets over and
over so that they are conditioned to blindly follow orders
and believe whatever the military authorities over them
tell them.

JROTC classes are taught by teachers who do not have
the education necessary to qualify to get a standardized
State teaching credential. JROTC classes and textbooks
are designed by the Pentagon to encourage cadets to
trust the military and believe that anyone who does not
trust military “leaders” and the U.S. Government is
inferior and deserves to be discriminated against. JROTC
lies about American history to promote militarism andmake largely boring, servile and degrading military jobs
look glamorous and adventurous.
JROTC promotes Nationalism to encourage cadets to
think of wars like high school team sports rather than a
series of hardships, senseless killings and betrayals by
people in charge which are characteristic of Real Combat.
They teaches cadets that the military only fights to
defend ‘Freedom” and “the American Way of Life.” They
do not tell them that members of the military are routinely
denied civil rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution;
including being assumed guilty of charges made by
persons in charge unless you can prove yourself
innocent (and that the military seldom believes you if
your “leaders” contradict you).
The military never tells cadets that military officers are
trained to accept 50% casualties (half of you and your
friends ending up dead in combat) as acceptable losses
in a war. It claims that this is “fighting for your country”
but, young people from wealthy or upper middle class
families have seldom been drafted. The Government has
routinely provided draft loopholes for privileged people
through College Exemptions or non-combat jobs in the
United States, or military administration or support
operations where they are unlikely to get shot at. The
people in the government who declare war are never the
ones to fight it.

Violence is not an aberrational byproduct of
JROTC; violence is the program’s inevitable result.
Violence is promoted by the ethics and curriculum of the
program itself! By glossing over the murder and brutality
of war, cadets become more at ease with murder, hazing
and other forms of brutality. The continued presence of
bigotry in the military curriculum teaches JROTC cadets
that hate crimes are O.K. because certain people are
“inferior.”

they were ordered to remain standing in formation in the
hot sun (26 of these students were hospitalized).

JROTC PROMISES OF JOB AND COLLEGE
OPPORTUNITIES ARE A LIE

A violently active, dominating youth is what I am
after. I will have no intellectual training.
Knowledge is ruin to my young men.
-Adolf Hitler, Quoted in “The Nation”

JROTC is a “Trojan Horse” used by the military to get
access to high school students for recruiting purposes.
JROTC provides no opportunities to learn job skills
applicable to a real job. 50% of JROTC graduates go on
to enlist in the military. Persons enlisting in the college
fund program must pay a $1,200 non-refundable fee and
only 35% of veterans ever receive any college benefits.
Although persons going into the military were promised
money to go to college, the military actually deducted
$720 million more from military paychecks between 1986
and 1993 than they paid out in actual college assistance.

Military job training is a myth. Only 12% of men and 6%
of women use any of the skills they learn in the military in
a job after they get out. The unemployment rate for
veterans is higher than people who don’t join the military.
50,000 veterans are now on Government waiting lists for
retraining. 1/3 of all homeless people were once in the
military. Many employers actively discriminate against
ex-military personnel.

Many soldiers who end up in combat are permanently
disabled. Land mines and terrorism are now the weapons
of choice in most third world wars and so-called “low
intensity conflicts.” Battlefield medical facilities often do
not provide for modern medical care and the military
medical doctrine which emphasizes returning soldiers to
combat as quickly as possible sometimes leads to
malpractice. Military doctors are officers and are
protected by federal law from being sued by military
personnel or their families.
In the 1950s U.S. Army troops were ordered to conduct
military training in the desert after nuclear bombs had
been set off so the military could see what would happen
to them. All of them died from cancer or related diseases.
Many Viet Nam veterans were permanently disabled by
Agent Orange and other chemical weapons. Gulf War
veterans have been genetically disabled so their children
are born physically deformed. The military routinely
denies any harmful exposure of troops as a result of
military blunders in order to protect their image.
