    “Unemployment serves as a worker-discipline device because the prospect of a costly unemployment spell produces sufficient fear of job loss.”

    Revolutionary Vol. 2, yeah
    Broadcasting live from Harlem, New York (Yeah)
    Let the truth be known

    genius.com/Immortal-technique-

    [Verse 1]
    You better watch what the fuck flies out of your mouth
    Or I'ma hijack a plane and fly it into your house
    Burn your apartment with your family tied to the couch
    And slit your throat so when you scream only blood comes out
    I doubt that there could ever be a more wicked MC
    'Cause AIDS-infested child molesters aren't sicker than me
    I see the world for what it is, beyond the white and the black
    The way the government downplays historical facts
    'Cause the United States sponsored the rise of the Third Reich
    Just like the CIA trained terrorists how to fight
    Build bombs and sneak box cutters onto a flight
    When I was a child, the Devil himself bought me a mic
    But I refused the offer, 'cause God sent me to strike
    With skills unused like fallopian tubes on a dyke
    My words'll expose George Bush and bin Laden
    As two separate parts of the same seven-headed dragon
    And you can't fathom the truth so you don't hear me
    You think Illuminati's just a fuckin' conspiracy theory?
    That's why conservative racists are all runnin' shit
    And your phone is tapped by the federal government
    So I'm jammin' frequencies in your brain when you speak to me
    Technique’ll rip a rapper to pieces indecently
    Pack weapons illegally, 'cause I'm never hesitant
    Sniper-scopin' a commission controllin' the president
    You might also like
    Charm
    Rema
    I KNOW ?
    Travis Scott
    The Point of No Return
    Immortal Technique
    [Chorus]
    Father, forgive them, for they don't know right from wrong
    The truth’ll set you free, written down in this song
    And the song has the cause of death written in code
    The word of God brought to life, that'll save your soul
    Save your soul, motherfucker, save your soul
    Yeah, yeah, yeah

    [Verse 2]
    I hacked the Pentagon for self-incriminating evidence
    Of Republican-manufactured white powder pestilence
    Marines Corps flak vest, with the guns and ammo
    Spittin' bars like a demon stuck inside a piano
    Turn a Sambo into a soldier, with just one line
    So here's the truth about the system that'll fuck up your mind
    They gave al-Qaeda six billion dollars in 1989 to 1992
    And now the last chapters of Revelations are comin' true
    And I know a lot of people find it hard to swallow this
    'Cause subliminal bigotry makes you hate my politics
    But you act like America wouldn't destroy two buildings
    In a country that was sponsoring bombs dropped on our children
    I was watchin' the towers, and though I wasn't the closest
    I saw them crumble to the earth like they were full of explosives
    And they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did
    About the bombs planted on the George Washington Bridge
    Four non-Arabs arrested during the emergency
    And then it disappeared from the news permanently
    They dubbed a tape of Osama, and they said it was proof
    Jealous of our freedom? I can't believe you bought that excuse!
    Rockin' a motherfuckin' flag don't make you a hero
    Word to Ground Zero
    The Devil crept into Heaven, God overslept on the seventh
    The New World Order was born on September 11th
    [Chorus]
    Father, forgive them, for they don't know right from wrong
    The truth’ll set you free, written down in this song
    And the song has the cause of death written in code
    The word of God brought to life, that'll save your soul
    Save your soul, motherfucker, save your soul

    [Verse 3]
    And just so conservatives don't take it to heart
    I don't think Bush did it, 'cause he isn't that smart
    He's just a stupid puppet takin' orders on his cell phone
    From the same people that sabotaged Senator Wellstone
    The military industry got it poppin' and lockin'
    Lookin' for a way to justify the Wolfowitz Doctrine
    And as a matter of fact, Rumsfeld, now that I think back
    Without 9/11, you couldn't have a war in Iraq
    Or a defense budget of world conquest proportions
    Kill freedom of speech and revoke the right to abortion
    Tax cut extortion, a blessing to the wealthy and wicked
    But you still have to answer to the Armageddon you scripted
    And Dick Cheney, you fuckin' leech, tell ‘em your plans
    About building your pipelines through Afghanistan
    And how Israeli troops trained the Taliban in Pakistan
    You might have some house niggas fooled, but I understand
    Colonialism is sponsored by corporations
    That's why Halliburton gets paid to rebuild nations
    Tell me the truth, I don't scare into paralysis
    I know the CIA saw bin Laden on dialysis
    In '98 when he was top ten for the FBI
    Government ties is really why the government lies
    Read it yourself instead of askin' the government why
    'Cause then the cause of death'll cause the propaganda to die
    [Outro]
    Father
    Forgive them

    "I start from the supposition that the world is topsy-turvy, that things are all wrong, that the wrong people are in jail and the wrong people are out of jail, that the wrong people are in power and the wrong people are out of power, that the wealth is distributed in this country and the world in such a way as not simply to require small reform but to require a drastic reallocation of wealth."...

    ..."And our topic is topsy-turvy: civil disobedience.

    As soon as you say the topic is civil disobedience, you are saying our problem is civil disobedience.

    That is not our problem.... Our problem is civil obedience.

    Our problem is the numbers of people all over the world who have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience.

    And our problem is that scene in All Quiet on the Western Front where the schoolboys march off dutifully in a line to war.

    Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world, in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war and cruelty.

    Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country.

    That's our problem. We recognize this for Nazi Germany.

    We know that the problem there was obedience, that the people obeyed Hitler.

    People obeyed; that was wrong. They should have challenged, and they should have resisted; and if we were only there, we would have showed them.

    Even in Stalin's Russia we can understand that; people are obedient, all these herdlike people. "...

    The Economic Situation for Millions of Americans Is Still Incredibly Dire
    By Stephen Semler

    exerpt:
    "Broad measures of the country’s economy don’t necessarily reflect the economic conditions of the people living in it.
    The data we have on those conditions reveal an ongoing humanitarian crisis — one that Democrats were complicit in making, but so far refuse to acknowledge."

    #Capitalism, with the support of sympathetic governments, externalize as many costs (of doing business) as they are permitted. It's the nature of the game!

    Mass migration can be (directly and indirectly) an externalized cost.

    Things will not change for the people or the planet, until we wrest control of our lives from the exploitive capitalists and their political class minions.

    'Representative democracy' is an oxymoron that functions to maintain minority (Oligarch) rule.
