Slouching Toward Renaissance
Rebellion and Revolution are so yesterday. No sense to rebel and revolt today. Those strategies of yesteryear are doomed to fail in the present day. Power is greater and people are as dumb as ever. Trust in Big Daddy. Bear hugs and poontang. Shiny and happy. Better safe than sorry. Where is democracy in the modern age? Politicians do the opposite of what voters want. People clamor for change because things aren’t so hot right now. Politicians sell change like celebrities sell soap. They don’t even use the stuff. It’s all show biz. Kabuki-square-dance-mambo-tap. Ignore the footwork but enjoy the big smile.
Rebellion and Revolution fail today because State Power, which, contrary to propaganda, is not demotic, public power, but private, corporate/military power, has gone quantum. Exponential. People get focus groups, free-speech zones, opinion polls and Tupperware parties. Think G.I. Joe versus Mr. Whipple.
The only way out of our indentured servitude of consumer debt and ambivalent obedience is not through revolution, but renaissance. Revival. Reboot. Re-imagine. The freedom to dream and create.

The Party of “No!” in the Age of Yes
The Republicans have re-branded themselves after their embarrassing defeat to the second “black” president in 2008 as The Party of NO!. Their mantra is No. Their philosophy is No. And their tactical approach is to block, obstruct and hinder, or in the words of the great Republican anti-drug crusader and fashion maven, Nancy Reagan, “Just Say No!”
How ironic in this new age where wars rage and poverty ravages and disease devastates and all could be made right by saying Yes, that the Party of the Culture of Life condemns so many to death by just saying no.

(reminder: Next week, we have a serious interview with honored guest Richard Gage, AIA, speaking about the irregularities in the 9/11 case. Mark your calendars!)
Tonight at 6PM Eastern Time, WWL Radio!!!!!
Gottlieb and Diane G. will be live and in color (or is that off color?) on WWL radio tonight at 6pm Eastern Time to guide you through Current Events taken from a Wildly Left Prospective.
Hear the Unreported & Under Reported Headlines stories you should be paying attention to, from US Politics, to the farthest reaches of the Earth.
Join us tonight as we examine the complete insanity that the pathetic Health Care Non-reform has caused amoung the undereducated wingnuts of our fine Land.It has become a veritable Hate Rampage, that threatens to become extreme violence, in a way that Melissa Harris-Lacewell writes: “The relevant comparison here is not the mid-20th century civil rights movement. The better analogy is the mid-19th century period of Reconstruction,” adding that “We must now guard against the end of our new Reconstruction and the descent of a vicious new Jim Crow terrorism.”
Speaking of State terrorsim, did Netanyahu just get a well deserved slap down?
Whew.
Lots of Nuts to talk about tonight!
Controversy? We face it. Cutting Edge? We step over it. Revolutions start with information, and The Wild Wild Left Radio brings you the best in information and op/eds from a position that others on the Left fear to tread.

Do Or Die!
Our backs are against the wall. They laugh in our faces. They spit on our lives. They strip us of our dignity and scare us into servitude.
They break every promise. They lie through their teeth. They hate, they scorn and ridicule anyone not like them; rich, privileged, pampered and entitled. They claim to speak for us and represent us and work for our common good. But it is all the smoke and mirrors of backroom deals and pacts with the devil.
They have stolen our birthright and murdered our future. They have robbed us deaf, dumb and blind. They have left us for dead by the side of the road after they’ve trampled us with limos and battle-tanks. They have sucked us dry down to the marrow and demand we grind our bones into to dust to make potions, elixirs and brews to finance their eternal life of egregious vainglory.
They have taken freedom of choice and turned it into do or die. The last choice.
What will we do?

Wild Wild Left Radio # 56 – Policing Protesters: From Preschoolers to Politicians

Welcome to the State of No Dissent in the Land of Discontent.From “Peace Officers” brutalizing 5 year olds, to so-called “Left bloggers” like dKouchebag Markos Moulitsas attacking Kucinich, we are in a world where advocacy for People’s rights or self-determination is now verboten.
Peaceful protesters from U.C. Davis were beaten and dragged last week, to nary an outcry from the public; a public now inured to being monitored from cradle to grave. We have given up our right to privacy, free speech and that “rugged individualism” in order to have a false sense of security.
This is not entirely a new thing in our history of repression and division, what is new is the conditions under which it takes place. At least 50 million people are ill-fed — up from 37 million just a year ago, and because of the Jim Crow Drug Laws, a black child born today is less likely to be raised by both parents than a black child born during slavery! As the discontent among the oppressed grows, so grows the industry of repression: Tasers, sound cannons, advanced riot-control devices like micro-waves and drones dropping prozac bombs. As the “enemies” (read free-thinkers) rebel, our very educational means are being stripped from us, whole school districts shutting down, teachers fired and students are being economically barred from attending Universities. They want us compliant, dumb and afraid.
Sinclair Lewis said, “When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”
We think he is right. Welcome to the Police State.

Wild Wild Left Radio # 55 – Ramped Up Hate in the Failed State
Tonight at 6PM Eastern Time, WWL Radio!!!!!

The numbers are in: Hate groups are on the rise, in frightening numbers, and unsurprisingly, the highest hate-rate is among Christian-identifying Americans.
As the economic collapse continues, it seems Americans again are easily lead to the divide and conquer strategy that always serves the Elite Class: Attacking fellow men who are also struggling, and never blaming the real culprits causing our distress.
The whack-jobs keep shooting, the children protesting are arrested enmasse, and the militias form to fight “immigrants” and people of color.
More frightening yet? Most of them are espousing the government doesn’t “serve them” not because the new-shiny-face-on-the-kleptocracy, Pres. Obama, is continuing the disastrous policies of the Bush Era… they are protesting because they see him as “too liberal.”
We are hoping to have a couple guests to speak to the new stressors being left in the Latino and Black communities, and how those effects can be overcome.
Life under Obama seems to be more of the same….

Wild Wild Left Radio #53 How a Revolution Sounds
Tonight at 6PM Eastern Time, WWL Radio!!!!!
Gottlieb and Diane G. will be live and in color (or is that off color?) on WWL radio tonight to guide you through Current Events taken from a Wildly Left Prospective.
Hear the Unreported & Under Reported Headlines stories you should be paying attention to, from US Politics, to the farthest reaches of the Earth.
Marking the start of a new year of shows, we have an intense and exciting show planned for tonight!
The Joe Stack story is a controversial and polarizing story. Terrorist? Criminal? Revolutionary? Do his final words reflect the frustration of a nation, or the petulance of a tax evader? Do the ends ever justify the means?
This cannot be framed without speaking to the recent poll that shows 80% of Americans do not believe that the Federal Government has the consent of the Governed. While the same statistics show those in the government believe they are representing us, the flood of vacated seats belies a discontent bubbling upward to their positions as well.
People are aware the mood on the ground is becoming increasingly ugly, and now the numbers substantiate this. Is this how revolutions begin?
Or will the Revolution be thwarted before it starts? They are again attempting to control our means of communication and organization on the web. The latest? Internet “Driver’s Licenses” that will make anonymity a thing of the past.
In International News, we will be examining Mossad’s assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.
Controversy? We face it. Cutting Edge? We step over it. Revolutions start with information, and The Wild Wild Left Radio brings you the best in information and op/eds from a position that others on the Left fear to tread.
Be there!

Dick Cheney Proves There Is No God
Instead of getting Sunday talk-show gigs, Dick Cheney should be put up against a wall and shot as the war criminal he is – no charges, no trial, just BLAM! If it’s good enough for the ‘terrorists’ it’s good enough for evil incarnate; Dick Cheney.
The fact Dick Cheney not only lives but is free to spread his evil is proof God is Dead.

Wild Wild Left Radio #52: Around the World in 60 Minutes!
Tonight at 6PM Eastern Time, WWL Radio!!!!!
Gottlieb and Diane G. will be live and in color (or is that off color?) on WWL radio tonight to guide you through Current Events taken from a Wildly Left Prospective.
Hear the Unreported & Under Reported Headlines stories you should be paying attention to, from US Politics, to the all of the Americas to our South, to the farthest reaches of the Earth.
Tonight we honor the passing of Murtha, Wilson and NASA; the near passing of Clinton, and American Citizens deemed Tewwowists by profiteers and war criminals.
On the home front we’ll rip the GOP Shadow Budget and the connivance of the supposedly non-partisan CBO. We’ll flay Globalism and the religion of Neo-Liberalism.
And as the anger mounts against the enslavement of the free and the castration of the brave, we’ll examine our government’s crackdown on gun-toting, bible-bleating, justifiably paranoid patwiot tewwowists.
Speaking of paranoia, Internationally we’ve got the usually laid back Canadians taking all the fun out of the Winter Games because Osama has reportedly joined the Jamaican bobsled team and is planning to crash his sled into the grandstand of freezing cold people and Countdown to Armageddon as the usual suspects bang the World War Drum for the annihilation of Persia. (Not to say the Government of Iran doesn’t deserve a kick in the ass for crackpot religion and draconian oppression – which we’ll also discuss.)
Which all leads to the inanity and insanity and tragedy of America’s despicable policy of trillions for the military industrial complex and a big fat zero for food on the table, jobs at home, and a future we the people can believe in and support.

The Fallen Dreams of Escape
The classic Ambrose Bierce short story, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge has a man being hung and miraculously the rope breaks and he escapes and has an adventure only to find in the end the rope didn’t break and his escape was a dying dream of desperation. In the end the man hangs from a stiff rope, dead of a broken neck.
Barack Obama is our dying dream of the desperate.

Poor, Poor, Pitiful Christians
Jealous of the Jewish monopoly on endless and warrantless persecution, Christians have entered the game of perpetual victim-hood by secular society and promise to fight for their rights to worship as they please, separation of Church and State be damned.
A formidable coalition of 150 Catholic, Orthodox and evangelical leaders are calling on Christians in a new manifesto to reject secular authority – and even engage in civil disobedience – if laws force them to accept abortion, same-sex marriage and other ideas that betray their religious beliefs.
Yup. The heathen government of infidels, emancipated women, liberals and communists are about to send the Christians to homosexual-abortion-science-fiction camps where they will be forced to eat fetus stew and accept the foreign ideology of common sense.
