Gulf War II: Corexit Boogaloo
Summer Burkes never considered herself an activist before Earth Day, 2010. She *still* doesn't really consider herself an activist -- just a fledgling New Orleans homeowner and Lower Ninth Ward community member who tried to help protect her new home and stanch the flow when the Powers That Be poked a hole in the Earth they still can't fix. Working closely with Matter of Trust and Burners Without Borders in the days after the Oilpocalypse began, she and her colleagues ("war buddies") encountered dramatic resistance from armed thugs working on behalf of the very people taxpayers finance to help.

Damon Vrabel founded the Council on Spiritual, Psychological, Economic Renewal and has been writing and producing articles and educational videos exposing the flaws of the dominant institutions in the world and advocating consciousness raising as the only viable alternative to a bleak Dark Ages, if we allow the fascist structures to continue consolidating their power. The first video series is entitled Renaissance 2.0 and the second series entitled Debunking Money. They are very clear, easy to understand educational tools to demystify economics and the challenges that humanity faces.
I was surprised to learn that Damon rather recently left the systems which he so strongly condemns, less than two years ago. He graduated from the United States Military Academy, served as an officer in the US Army, then graduated from Harvard Business School, took a short detour on Wall Street, and had a career in Silicon Valley in several leadership positions in technology corporations. Since leaving empire service, he became a mountaineer, attended Mars Hill Graduate School, and now works toward redemption as a writer and post-neoclassical economic philosopher.

California 9/11 Truth Commission Initiative with former Senator Mike Gravel (U.S.Senator from Alaska 1969-1981), best known for his courageous effort to read the Pentagon Papers into the public record.) and Jose Rodriguez. Senator Mike Gravel's passion has been Direct Democracy, which allows people to make laws, rather than allowing "elected representatives" the exclusive ability to make the laws. He has also taken brave stances and spoken out against secrecy in government. He supported and worked on the NYCCAN 2009 ballot initiative in New York City that would have established a local commission to conduct an impartial, evidence-driven investigation into the events of September 11, 2001. 80,000 New Yorkers signed the petition, far exceeding the requirement for the proposed City Charter amendment to be presented to the voters on the November ballot. However, the City of New York refused to place it on the ballot citing legal insufficiencies in the petition, and the State Supreme Court ruled in the City’s favor.

He worked in radio and television broadcasting, manufacturing, and elevator construction. Since his retirement, he has been active with Veterans for Peace as past president and media producer for VfP Chapter 109 in Olympia, WA.

He has lectured across the U.S. and in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Europe. His work has galvanized over a 1000 Architects and Engineers to petition for a new investigation. He was joined by David Ray Griffin, Professor Steven Jones, and others at a luncheon, conference for Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth on February 19th in San Francisco to announce their latest discoveries and efforts which was completely censored by the mainstream press. More recently, he held a press conference in Washington DC and was instrumental in getting a third light beam shone in NY to draw attention to WTC 7, but still has received almost no press coverage, beyond the wide attacks launched in general against the 9/11 truth movement. The campaign to overcome the censorship surrounding WTC 7 has sparked the Building What?campaign which has raised over $80,000 to show TV ads drawing attention to the controlled demolition of WTC 7.

Project Censored with Mickey Huff and Peter Phillips (Speaking live from the 6th Annual 9/11 Truth Film Festival) Project Censored's mission is to teach students and the public about the role of a free press in a free society – and to tell the News That Didn’t Make the News and Why. Project Censored began over 30 years ago, in 1976, as an epiphany within the mind of Carl Jensen, now Professor Emeritus, Communications Studies, Sonoma State University, California (SSU). Carl realized that vital information was being continuously and systematically filtered by a news media industry owned by fewer and fewer corporations. The idea was to have a group of respected scholars find and select 25 under-reported, misrepresented, or frankly censored news stories over the preceding year that were of maximal importance to the public. This effort gradually evolved into formal courses of study at SSU. This month Censored 2011, edited by Mickey Huff and Peter Phillips, chronicling the 25 most censored stories of 2009/2010 will be released.

Satyagraha - Truth Force was born when people gathered together, in their struggle against empire and racism in South Africa. On September 11, 1906, at a public meeting attended by 3000 people where Gandhi spoke, Sheth haji Habib, an old Muslim resident of South Africa, was inspired to consciously speak out and state his decision to act in defiance of an unjust law, that targeted the Indian population of South Africa. Habib declared his willingness to suffer the consequences in a spiritually-endowed fight for justice in the name of God. The theory of satyagraha sees means and ends as inseparable. The means used to obtain an end are wrapped up in and attached to that end. Therefore, it is contradictory to try to use unjust means to obtain justice or to try to use violence to obtain peace. Satyagraha is a synthesis of the Sanskrit words satya (meaning "truth") and Agraha ("pursuit of"). Gandhi believed that life itself is a the pursuit of truth. For Gandhi, satyagraha became strength in practicing non-violent methods, or in his words "the Force which is born of Truth and Love or non-violence.

Declaration of Accountability with Charlotte Dennett and Kristina Borjesson. In the aftermath of the Understanding Deep Politics Conference, held in Santa Cruz in May 2010, activists gathered together in a retreat to build upon the insights and information presented at the conference, and to explore more deeply the conference's theme- Who are we? What are the problems? What are the solutions? What can we do together that we cannot do alone? Drawing upon the group's wisdom, they were inspired to write a declaration, and a call to action to cast light upon deep forces, despotically trying to control humanity, and to inspire, awaken and empower a broad coalition to work together to regain control over our lives and our future.
