Excerpt:
For two heady months, the amorphous encampment in Lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park had been the symbolic heart of Occupy Wall Street, the birthplace of the greatest social-justice movement to emerge in the United States since the civil rights era. This primal cry for democracy sprang from young people who could no longer ignore the angst in their gut — the premonition that their future does not compute, that their entire lives will be lived in the apocalyptic shadow of climate-change tipping points, species die-offs, a deadening commercialized culture, a political system perverted by money, precarious employment, a struggle to pay off crippling student loans, and no chance of ever owning a home or living in comfort like their parents. Glimpsing this black hole of ecological, political, financial and spiritual crisis, the youth and the millions of Americans who joined them instinctively knew that unless they stood up and fought nonviolently for a different kind of future, they would have no future at all.
The Occupy Wall Street meme was launched by a poster in the 97th issue of our international ad-free magazine, Adbusters, the hash tag #OCCUPYWALLSTREET and a “tactical briefing” that we sent to our 90,000-strong “culture jammer” global network of activists, artists and rabble-rousers in mid-July. The movement’s true origins, however, go back to the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt. That was when the world witnessed how intransigent regimes can be toppled by leaderless democratic crowds, brought together by social media, that stand firm and courageously refuse to go home until their demands for change are met. Our shared epiphany was that America, too, needs its Tahrir Square moment and its own kind of regime change. Perhaps not the hard regime change of Tunisia and Egypt, but certainly a soft one.
Only a soft regime change can end the pervasive corruption at the heart of our political system, in which corporate money wins elections, drafts laws and trumps citizen desires. Only the plural voices of everyday Americans, the 99 percent, have the capacity to wake up the 1 percent to their greedy, self-serving ways, and to dismantle the global casino in which $1.3 trillion worth of derivatives, credit default swaps and other financial instruments slosh around every day without a hint of concern or regard for the millions of lives that such speculation can destroy.

Excerpt:
Free-market capitalism
When asked if she agreed with the quote from Alan Arenholt that she used in her book, It Takes a Village: "The unfettered free market has been the most radically disruptive force in American life in the last generation,"^[15] Hillary replied

"I believe that. That's why I put it in the book...And I just believe that there's got to be a healthy tension among all of our institutions in society, and that the market is the driving force behind our prosperity, our freedom in so many respects to make our lives our own but that it cannot be permitted just to run roughshod over people's lives as well."^[16]

Controversial Hebrew-immersion charter school in Bergen County may finally open

Published: Monday, November 29, 2010, 5:47 PM Updated: Wednesday, March 09, 2011, 3:30 PM

Excerpts:

1) Charter schools are tax-supported and public, but are governed independently of local districts. The money follows the student to a charter with the schools getting 60 to 90 percent of what each public school gets per pupil.

You are missing the point. Tax dollars for private enterprise is a no no. I am all for Hebrew, Catholic or whatever school you want to send your kids to. Just not with my tax dollars.

When the corporate takeover of our public schools takes full effect, lets see how far you get when you want to talk to the CEO (making $500,000+) about your child's education. At the moment, we can pick up the phone and call a superintendent. This is a travesty in education. We need to revamp our outdated PUBLIC educational system NOT replace it.

“People have this vision that kids will be at home on the computer all day, and that’s not what it is,” said Gellman, a former book editor whose husband Peter, a Princeton professor turned investment manager, is also on the board.

PCLC-NJ’s Judaic studies classes will all be “live and on-site,” although students — such as “a kid who is so good at Gemara he or she has to sit with a rabbi in Israel” — will have the option of pursuing advanced studies with a tutor via Skype.

As Occupy Enters Third Month, a Look at How Protesters Are Building a Global Movement

Share1942

As the Occupy movement approaches its two-month anniversary, we’re joined by two guests who are studying its strategies and successes. Author Jeff Sharlet helped found the group Occupy Writers and is assisting efforts to reestablish the evicted library at Occupy Wall Street. His recent article for Rolling Stone is "Inside Occupy Wall Street: How a Bunch of Anarchists and Radicals with Nothing but Sleeping Bags Launched a Nationwide Movement." We also speak with Marina Sitrin, who is researching global mass movements from Spain to Egypt and has just returned from Greece. Sitrin says the Occupy movement’s assemblies offer a "radical, if not revolutionary, way of organizing... When we’re in our neighborhoods and come together and relate in that way, it’s more like alternative governance." [includes rush transcript] http://www.akpress.org/2006/items/horizontalism Excerpt: December 19th and 20th, 2001, marked the beginning a popular rebellion in Argentina. After IMF policies led to economic meltdown and massive capital flight, millions of Argentinians poured into the streets to protest the freezing of their bank accounts, the devaluing of their currency, and the bankruptcy of their state. This rebellion—of workers and the unemployed, of the middle class and the recently declassed—erupted without leadership or hierarchy. Political parties and newly emerged elites had no role in the movement that toppled five consecutive national governments in just two weeks. People created hundreds of neighborhood assemblies involving tens of thousands of active participants. The dozens of occupied factories that existed at the start of the rebellion grew to hundreds, taken over and run directly by workers. The social movements that exploded in Argentina that December not only transformed the fabric of Argentine society but also highlighted the possibility of a genuinely democratic alternative to global capital. Horizontalism: Voices of Popular Power in Argentina is the story of those movements, as told by the men and women who are building them. http://spicewoodquiltingdiva.blogspot.com/2011/03/multi-tasker-tote.html Excerpt:

Multi Tasker Tote

Recently a few of us got together at my friend Barbara's and learned to make this darling bag. My "Super Quilter" friend, Ardis, was our teacher. The pattern is called the Multi Tasker Tote and it is by Anna Maria Horner. I love Anna Maria!

I used 4 different fabrics on mine, but you can use just one if you like. It does take a good amount of fabric, but it is a large bag. It will eventually have an insert in the bottom to give it more shape. I love the pockets on the ends. They are perfect for bottled drinks. I think this bag would be a great diaper bag, also.

Thanks to Ardis, Barbara and Margaret for a great day!

Here's where you can find all things Anna Maria, http://annamariahorner.com/

Who Is Dario Fo? (And why does he stick it to the man?) Excerpt: Why does he stick it to the man? Because his work, wherever it is performed, whenever it is performed, however it is performed, speaks volumes about justice, truth and equality in the world. It gives a voice to the voiceless. It is critical of all those who oppress, dominate and terrorise. As long as there is a man to stick it to, the work of Dario Fo presents one of the greatest sticks to beat them with. Our production of Accidental Death Of An Anarchist is the tip of a big iceberg that constitutes his body of work. We hope in some small way to present it and Dario Fo’s intentions in the best way possible, as suits our current climate in Ireland. But if you’re looking for intro into his work and his world, then this is a good place to start and we’re very proud to be your guides. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Goldman Excerpt: Emma Goldman (June 27 [O.S. June 15] 1869 – May 14, 1940) was an anarchist known for her political activism, writing and speeches. She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. Born in Kovno in the Russian Empire (present-day Kaunas, Lithuania), Goldman emigrated to the US in 1885 and lived in New York City, where she joined the burgeoning anarchist movement.^[1] Attracted to anarchism after the Haymarket affair, Goldman became a writer and a renowned lecturer on anarchist philosophy, women's rights, and social issues, attracting crowds of thousands.^[1] She and anarchist writer Alexander Berkman, her lover and lifelong friend, planned to assassinate industrialist and financier Henry Clay Frick as an act of propaganda of the deed. Although Frick survived the attempt on his life, Berkman was sentenced to twenty-two years in prison. Goldman was imprisoned several times in the years that followed, for "inciting to riot" and illegally distributing information about birth control. In 1906, Goldman founded the anarchist journal Mother Earth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haymarket_affair

Excerpt: The Haymarket affair (also known as the Haymarket massacre or Haymarket riot) was a demonstration and unrest that took place on Tuesday May 4, 1886, at the Haymarket Square^[3] in Chicago. It began as a rally in support of striking workers. An unknown person threw a dynamite bomb at police as they dispersed the public meeting. The bomb blast and ensuing gunfire resulted in the deaths of eight police officers, mostly from friendly fire, and an unknown number of civilians.^[4]^[5] In the internationally publicized legal proceedings that followed, eight anarchists were tried for murder. Five men were convicted, of whom four were executed and one committed suicide in prison, although the prosecution conceded none of the defendants had thrown the bomb.
