THE COURAGE TO STOP PRETENDING

Portrait by Americans Who Tell The Truth

"...those who write the rules are those who profit from the status quo.  If we want to change that status quo, we might have to work outside of those rules because the legal pathways available to us have been structured precisely to make sure we don't make any substantial change."

If you don't know about Tim DeChristopher...

He's gone to jail...
For You

"I Do Not Want Mercy, I Want You To Join Me"
“At this point of unimaginable threats on the horizon, this is what hope looks like. In these times of a morally bankrupt government that has sold out its principles, this is what patriotism looks like. With countless lives on the line, this is what love looks like, and it will only grow.”
Tim's address to the court - HERE

“I’m happier than I’ve ever been.”

Now it's our turn."

"Once in a while, the moral insanity of the world we live in reveals itself to anyone who cares to look."
Rolling Stone - HERE and HERE

"This hero didn't stand a chance."
"His prosecution is evidence that our moral order has been turned upside down."

"We have the challenge
of maintaining our humanity"
"We're not going to meet it
in a convenient way"
"From now on our movement
needs to take a stand"


IT'S NOT DARK YET
BUT IT'S GETTING THERE

Sincere Thanks to everyone from around the world
who have continued to visit in my absence.
It's good to be back - be seeing you.

DARK FRACKING SHADOWS


Mythical devil of the ever-present laws
Governing blindness, blindness and sight


Every picture has its shadows
And it has some source of light
Blindness, blindness and sight
The perils of benefactors
The blessings of parasites
Blindness, blindness and sight
Threatened by all things
Devil of cruelty
Drawn to all things
Devil of delight
Mythical devil of the ever-present laws
Governing blindness, blindness and sight

Suntans in reservation dining rooms
Pale miners in their lantern rays
Night, night and day
Hostage smile on presidents
Freedom scribbled in the subway
It's like night, night and day
Threatened by all things
God of cruelty
Drawn to all things
God of delight
Mythical god of the everlasting laws
Governing day, day and night

Critics of all expression
Judges in black and white
Saying it's wrong, saying it's right
Compelled by prescribed standards
Or some ideals we fight
For wrong, wrong and right
Threatened by all things
Man of cruelty-mark of Cain
Drawn to all things
Man of delight-born again, born again
Man of the laws, the ever-broken laws
Governing wrong, wrong and right
Governing wrong, wrong and right
Wrong and right

SCHNEIDERMAN SUES FEDS OVER FRACKING


HE CAME THROUGH

Report - HERE

"Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced he will file a lawsuit today against the federal government for its failure to commit to a full environmental review of proposed regulations that would allow natural gas drilling – including the potentially harmful “fracking” technique – in the Delaware River Basin. Last month, the Attorney General notified the federal government that if it did not commit to conducting an environmental review before the regulations authorizing gas drilling are finalized, he would take legal action to compel such a study.

“'Before any decisions on drilling are made, it is our responsibility to follow the facts and understand the public health and safety effects posed by potential natural gas development,' Attorney General Schneiderman said. 'The federal government has an obligation to undertake the necessary studies, and as I made clear last month, this office will compel it to do so. The welfare of those living near the Delaware River Basin, as well as the millions of New Yorkers who rely on its pure drinking water each day, will not be ignored.'

"The DRBC estimates that its proposed regulations would allow 15,000 to 18,000 gas wells to be drilled within the Basin, most of which are expected to be developed by fracking. The regulations were proposed without first conducting an assessment of the environmental impacts related to allowing fracking in the Basin.

"The DRBC is a federal-interstate body created through a compact agreed to by the President, Congress, state Legislators and governors of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. The Commission has legal authority to approve or disapprove activities that may have a substantial effect on the water resources within the 13,500 square mile Delaware River Basin — including over 2,300 square miles in New York. Under federal law, the DRBC and the federal agencies involved in formulating its policies and regulations are subject to NEPA."

Mr Schneiderman has begun a new Wall Street investigation.
