…. if he hollers, kill him!
“Eeny, meany, Mighty-Moe..” if he hollers, kill him! Students at Kent State hollered. Rachel Corrie hollered. Rev. Martin Luther King hollered as did Malcolm X and Huey P. Newton. And amongst the walking political dead who hollered we have Rev. Jackson, Rev. Sharpton and Minister Lewis Farrakhan. All of their voices forever intimidated into deadly, if not eternal, silence.
It is no longer a secret our government will kill you if you go against her grain. If the government herself does not kill you, she fosters conditions to have you murdered.
The above mentioned were people who could call a strike with the snap of a finger; strikes with all segments of our society participating. Strikes the world could not ignore.
Those people were fearless, believing in the decency of mankind. They had confidence in the humanity of mankind, the Constitution and the law. We Villagers also shared their beliefs until brutally proven wrong time and time again.
I note we have recently learned our government operatives can murder American citizens who have been declared terrorist.
On our television sets we see striking citizens in other countries meet with police canning them or using night-sticks. Here in America we have been met with biting dogs, powerful water hoses and police as mean as hell! That has not changed and there are those of us wanting to believe such conduct by the police is in the past. One must not forget “…life is a learning experience”. A Tiananmen Square with a solitary citizen thwarting a huge tank will never happen here in America.
Who wants to die or be maimed for life? Who wants to call and participate in a strike in today’s hostile American atmosphere? If the continued calling of Americans to strike results in modest results at best, there has to be a way to motivate the masses that has not been explored. It will be found!
“The iron foot of oppression” Dr. King spoke about has now become the bloody iron foot of oppression and alas, no longer whispered in dim-lighted office corners, in pool rooms, behind shielded lips of men or lady’s opened fans. The awareness is now like dog shit; its everywhere.
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. I usually gauge a big event like a strike when reports from bookings for hotel rooms come out, when vendors start making T-shirts, when the transportation department begin making room for out of town bus parking, when police leaves are cancelled and the likes. Finally, I note the intellectual shallowness of Rupert Murdock in a recent TV interview. No surprise. I remember “W”. We are not dealing with mentally astute people. Their strengths are elsewhere.

WOW MOST OF THE COMMENTS ARE DEFEATIST I guess the republican dogma has really permeated the whole of our world hasn't it.

Walk out, sick out, sit down, stand up, whatever it takes.
