Incog,

i hear you on this. I'm looking for a solution. We need to educate people, snap em out of their domestic daze, keep the pigs at bay while we set up our collectives for a new society. Like I was saying to DJCHE, we need to hit em below the belt through (what Gandhi spoke of as) "non-participation" in their system(s). Remove ourselves from the grid so to speak. We need to actively work at decolonizing ourselves materially as well as psychilcally, mentally and emotionally from their entire murderous paradigm! And we can't do it alone. Yes, its a long, arduous road ... but what do we do to respond in the meantime, while we're (actively) waiting for people to get educated/free? Protests seem to be nothing more than primal-scream sessions that get little done (especially now that the press don't cover them). What kinds of direct-action can we take? Now that the prison-industrial-complex is so over-developed, "flooding their jails" to tie up the judicial system seems to just benefit them and we end up focusing more on trying to get our people out of jail (goddamn! How many more years does Leneord Peltier have to sit in that rotting cell?!!!!!!!!!). I'm at a loss for what to do? We need to seriously organize, sit down and talk, come up with a plan, confer with all those that came before us (that are still alive and not in prison) and get to moving!
