Tonight is the official kick-off of a new novel about revolution, "The Dandelion Rebellion." The story is about the looming death of U.S. democracy and a firebrand writer "The Man From the North" and his experience with Zadie Byrd Gray as they foment revolution against growing tyranny. As the author, Rivera Sun writes in a preface it takes place "In a time that looms around the corner of toda, in a place on the edge of our nation, it is a crime to dissent, a crime to assemble, a crime to stand up for one's life. Despite all of this - or perhaps because of it - the Dandelion Insurrection began . . . " Their rallying cry is "life, liberty and love." Tonight the author will be doing a reading from the book. The show starts at 7:30pm EST and is about 45mins long.

This video of H. Rap Brown discussing politics and movements in the United States with Gil Nobel. The interview has a lot of resonance with the issues we focus on today. He discusses elections not being an effective way to advance our cause; and even says that if we were to ever elect a black president, we would need to be prepared to protest him because it is the system that is broken. He also discusses the media and how it is not a vehicle for telling the truth about revolutionary political change. He also discusses movement leadership and growth. He describes the movement as one without leaders but there are people who provide ideas but do not tell people what to do. He says movements must provide people with services the government is failing to provide to bring people to the movement. He sees movements as building from the bottom up, led by people who are oppressed.

When these ideas are shattered, the institutions that buttress the ruling class deflate and collapse. The battle of ideas is percolating below the surface. It is a battle the corporate state is steadily losing. An increasing number of Americans are getting it. They know that we have been stripped of political power. They recognize that we have been shorn of our most basic and cherished civil liberties, and live under the gaze of the most intrusive security and surveillance apparatus in human history. Half the country lives in poverty. Many of the rest of us, if the corporate state is not overthrown, will join them. These truths are no longer hidden. It appears that political ferment is dormant in the United States. This is incorrect. The ideas that sustain the corporate state are swiftly losing their efficacy across the political spectrum. The ideas that are rising to take their place, however, are inchoate.
