LINKS BY GEORGE ~ JANUARY 26th

Donations are a vital link to be able to keep this newsletter online. With such a variety of articles, if convenient for you, I would like your support for being able to keep sending articles to the many people that are benefited by this awareness. If you find any articles of special importance to you, please send just one dollar as an intention to be able to keep it networking. And besides the articles, I add a variety of music that I feel you would enjoy and could as well be seen as a "virtual juke box" of inspiration to share. 36 choice and transportative songs that are a good value to support for a dollar.
I realize that we are all struggling economically and so no pressure if you can not make a donation. Also my deep heart felt appreciation to those that have. In any case, at least for the next few months, the internet bill has been paid and the "Links by George" newsletter will continue.

The blog is formated such that the articles appear in the middle part. On the right side are a column of images and videos. The Music Videos section is on the bottom in between the pictures. Once you scroll down the right side column to the end, the section of art starts with the most recent featured art first. The quotes of the week and music articles of the week appear on the bottom of this section as well.

All of this for what purpose? On the surface it seems as if it is to protect the mega-corporations, who fund such "freedom" in regard to business and even capitalism, damaging to their interests. It is not that such "freedom" in regard to capitalism brings down their profits, no, but it limits their control over material that they have already sold and made money out of. It is like patenting nature's contribution to us as medicinal plants, which is going on these days"

QUOTES FOR THE WEEK:




"We can shape the national sentiment with our voices of compassion and reason. We can send the simple message that we must not kill innocent people in the name of justice." -- Fran Korten
"Disarm, disarm. The sword of murder is not the balance of justice. Blood does not wipe out dishonor, nor violence indicate possession." -- Julia Ward Howe (Peace proclamation, London, 1870)
"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." -- Albert Einstein

"Am I not destroying my enemies what I make friends of them? -- Abraham Lincoln

"Did you know that the worldwide food shortage that threatens up to five hundred million children could be alleviated at the cost of only one day, only one day, of modern warfare." -- Peter Ustinov
"If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, is it not possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing about it?" -- Edward L. Bernays

"Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purpose is beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding." -- Louis Dembitz Brandeis

"I believe in liberty for all men: the space to stretch their arms and their souls; the right to breathe and the right to vote, the freedom to choose their friends, enjoy the sunshine, and ride on the railroads, uncursed by color; thinking, dreaming, working as they will in a kingdom of beauty and love." -- W. E. B. Du Bois
"The time has come for America to hear the truth about this tragic war. In international conflicts, the truth is hard to come by because most nations are deceived about themselves. Rationalizations and the incessant search for scapegoats are the psychological cataracts that blind us to our sins. But the day has passed for superficial patriotism. He who lives with untruth lives in spiritual slavery." - Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968), US civil rights leader.
"He who dares not offend cannot be honest" - Thomas Paine
"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget. " - Arundhati Roy
"Thank God that at this hour I am dangerous to the war profiteers of this country who rob the people on the one hand, and rob and debase the government on the other; and then with their pockets and wallets stuffed with the filthy, bloodstained profits of war, wrap the sacred folds of the Stars and Stripes about them and [about] their blatant hypocrisy to the world." Kate Richards O'Hare's Address To the Court Proceedings on the Sentencing of Mrs. Kate Richards O'Hare by Hon Martin J. Wade,
"Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking; where it is absent, discussion is apt to become worse than useless." -- Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi - (1828-1910) Russian writer Source: On Life and Essays on Religion
"Free inquiry requires that we tolerate diversity of opinion and that we respect the right of individuals to express their beliefs, however unpopular they may be, without social or legal prohibition or fear of success." -- Paul Kurtz - "A Secular Humanist Declaration," in On The Barricades, 1989
"America, the richest and most powerful nation in the world, can well lead the way in this revolution of values. There is nothing, except a tragic death wish, to prevent us from reordering our priorities,"
"We can no longer afford to worship the god of hate or bow before the altar of retaliation. The oceans of history are made turbulent by the ever-rising tides of hate. History is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path of hate. As Arnold Toynbee says : "Love is the ultimate force that makes for the saving choice of life and good against the damning choice of death and evil. Therefore the first hope in our inventory must be the hope that love is going to have the last word."
"Now let us begin. Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter -- but beautiful -- struggle for a new world."
- Rev. Martin Luther King - "Beyond Vietnam" -A Time to Break
