You'll soon notice that this issue looks different than those in the past. It looks truncated, rushed, and well, just not as pretty. The reason for this is that because of other social and economic obligations, I have not been able to dedicate any time to our newsletter/blog. I am sending this one out, undeveloped and unprepared, because I feel the information contained within is important. Look out for The Prison Book Project, an art and music benefit show for Open Books hosted by The Postscript Society at Dolce Vita in October.

Apologies,

Eric

I have to tell you that Q's friend from Chicago, Orron Kenyatta, is coming down this Tuesday to perform at End of The Line and he's supposedly a big deal. One of his spoken word poems has been adapted to a play and the season is already sold out... and we're
getting a $3000 performance for free, so please (pretty please) spread the word to get him an audience.

Okay, I'll be in touch soon,

Thanks again,

Jill

I have out together many links about what is going on with BP and the oil spill. I hope this puts a better perspective on what people on the gulf coast are facing. I have sent some of the links out already but for this i put everything together, hopefully, in a manner that gets the point across without putting too much to sift through and at the same time getting it out to everyone we can, so please forward. Thanks for everyone's help with the links and info, I couldn't have done it without you.

Quote: I can confirm the military is looking to abandon the Pensacola region as a consequence of the oil disaster.

Military families are pulling out, and the military is not renewing contracts, and ending future ones.

I have several confirmed inside sources in Pensacola.

The feds seem intent upon MURDERING SHERRY JACKSON. She details how the feds denied her medical care in prison and right now she IS IN THE PROCESS OF DYING. Sherry was one of the stars of Aaron Russo's America: Freedom to Fascism. She was the former IRS agent who cried out, "SHOW ME THE LAW!"

Kirby Dick's provocative documentary investigates the secretive and inconsistent process by which the Motion Picture Association of America rates films, revealing the organization's underhanded efforts to control culture. Dick questions whether certain studios get preferential treatment and exposes the discrepancies in how the MPAA views sex and violence. Interviewees include John Waters, Darren Aronofsky, Maria Bello, Atom Egoyan and more.

Scientists and atheists do something that many believers find repellent: we shatter their perception of their relationship to the universe. And understandably, they don't like that.

Royal Raymond Rife (May 16, 1888 – August 5, 1971) was an American inventor and early exponent of high-magnification time-lapse cine-micrography. He claimed that using a specially designed optical microscope, only five of which were ever constructed, he could observe a number of viruses which he thought were causal factors in several diseases, most notably cancer. Rife also claimed that a "beam ray" device could destroy or weaken the pathogens by inducing destructive resonances in their constituent chemicals. Rife's claims could not be independently replicated, and active scientific interest in the devices had dissipated by the 1950s.

As most reading this already know, The Zeitgeist Movement is a sustainability advocacy organization which is fundamentally built upon/inspired by the social ideas of Jacque Fresco of The Venus Project. It isn’t the scope of this article to run down the vast and rather complex tenets of The Movement. However, I would like to give a basic overview here.


At death a person abandons
what one construes as mine.
Realizing this, the wise
shouldn't incline
to be devoted to mine.

Become Fluid


Beliefs are better used as devices of progression as opposed to fixed world views. So, it's not the belief but the system that maintains the idea that beliefs should be static that needs to be addressed. Beliefs should be flexible and breakable as newer information is assimilated. I try, and often fail, to live my life as a testament to this (BE the change we want to see in the world, not FIGHT for change).

All institutions that are considered static, fixed, unwavering, or otherwise hostile or indifferent to new information, are bad regardless if the institution was established in the East or West. That is not to say that some institutions are void of great wisdom and lifestyle methods. It is important to note that great wisdom and lifestyle methods can, and should, come about without the use of static institutions.

Art

Introducing Aaron Ridgeway to the Postscript Society.


Poetry


and he fancied himself an artist
made of masculine prance and quiet sputters
as if smoke ring talent where a trait to be admired.
by the works of others before he,
by the tear and thickness of artists hands,
those lines river snaked through canyons of depth
and his was atop those mountainsides, carving the faces of great men.
how’s a smoke ring volcano, boy?
how’s the lament of the Virginian’s eyes?
that brow so subtle in statement,
as if to speak:
“an artist tells no lies.”



- Eric St. Pierre


Articles

A Prison System for You and Me to Live In

A New York police officer fed up with the corrupt nature of the law enforcement system decided to take matters into his own hands and make audio recordings of police officials. What was revealed in those tapes exposes law enforcement big wigs as liars and manipulators. The tapes show how the crime rate was manipulated to receive more funding from the federal government and how crime victims were harassed and told to keep quiet about their experience.

Websites

The Orion Project

From the website:
"Imagine a world where every home and village has its own clean source of electrical energy, free from the cost of fossil fuels, nuclear power or a centralized electric grid.
Imagine every means of transportation running off of clean power plants, using no source of fuel and creating no pollution.
Imagine the developing world blossoming with these new technologies and the equatorial rain forests protected from slash and burn subsistence farming and logging.
Imagine all inter-city transportation above the ground and the millions of acres paved over with highways freed for productive agriculture and recreation.
Imagine all manufacturing being clean-fuel sourced, using no-cost or low-cost energy.
Imagine the possibility of 100% recycling because the energy cost of transporting recycled materials, processing them and scrubbing pollution out of the air and water approaches zero."
