...Even Janet Yellen, the current secretary of the Treasury and former chair of the Fed during the Obama administration, wrote this in a 1996 memo:“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 knownhttps://genius.com/Immortal-technique-the-cause-of-death-lyrics
[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

[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 -

#DefyAuthorityFrom Voices of A People's History, edited by Zinn and Arnove
"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 Semlerexerpt:
"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.
#RepresentativeDemocracyIsNeither
We must #AbolishCapitalism and 'representative democracy' before it's too late!

Police State, Let's Get Free
Dead Prezhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic-E7OHWvGQ
[Sample of chairman omali yeshitela:]
You have the emergence in human society of this thing that's called
The state. what is the state? the state is this organized bureaucracy.
It is the police department. it is the army the navy. it is the prison
System the courts and what have you. this is the state it is a repressiveOrganization. but the state and gee well you know you've got to have the
Police because if there were no police, look at what you'd be doing to
Yourselves -- you'd be killing each other if there were no police! but the
Reality is the police become necessary in human society only at that junction
In human society where it is split between those who have and those who ain't got.I throw a molotov cocktail at the precinct
You know how we think:
Organize the hood under i ching banners,
Red, black and green instead of gang bandannas
Fbi spying on us through the radio antennas
And them hidden cameras in the streetlight watching society
With no respect for the people's right to privacy
I'll take a slug for the cause like huey p.
While all you fake niggas try to copy master p
I want to be free to live
Hey, (but?) they have what i need to live
Bring the power back to the street where the people live
I'm sick of working for crumbs and filling up the prisons
Dying over money and relying on religion
For help. we do for self like ants in a colony
Organize the wealth into a socialist economy
A way of life based off the common need
And all my comrades are ready
We just spreading the seed(Chorus:)
The average black male
Live a third of his life in a jail cell
Cause the world is controlled by the white male
And the people don' never get justice
And the womben don' never get respected
And the problems don' never get solved
And the jobs don' never pay enough
So the rent always be late.
Can you relate?
We living in a police stateNo more bondage, no more political monsters
No more secret space launchers
Government departments started it in the projects
Material objects, thousands up in the closets
Could've been invested in a future for my comrades
Battle contacts, primitive weapons out in combat
Many never come back
Pretty niggas be running with gats
Rather get shot in they back than fire back
We tired of that
Corporations hiring blacks, denying the facts
Exploiting us all over the map
That's why i write the shit i write in my raps
It's documented, i'm in it
Every day of the week i live in it, breathing it
It's more than just fucking believing it
I'm holding in ones, rolling up my sleeves an' shit
It's (cee-lo?) for push-ups now
Many headed for one conclusion
Niggas ain't ready for revolution(Chorus:)
The average black male
Live a third of his life in a jail cell
Cause the world is controlled by the white male
And the people don' never get justice
And the womben don' never get respected
And the problems don' never get solved
And the jobs don' never pay enough
So the rent always be late.
Can you relate?
We living in a police state.[Sample of chairman omali yeshitela:]
(That's right, that developed?) me: brought me here and worked me like an
Animal. built the political economy off my stolen labor. made them rich.
Made me poor.(Chorus:)

Can you relate?
We living in a police state[Sample of chairman omali yeshitela:]
Why is it that black people and everybody like us live in the kind of
Poverty and misery that we live in? everywhere i look around me are nothing
But poverty and misery, on the one hand. and yet, what i'm seeing is that
Everywhere there's wealth and riches in the world it's in the white
Community somewhere, whether it's in europe or whether it's right cross the
Street from where i was born. -

As horrifying as are the consequences of #CultureWar for oppressed groups, remember that its function is to #DivideAndConquer- so as to avoid all-out #ClassWar.Regan's unholy alliance with Pat Robertson ushered in this era of #WhiteChristianNationalism upon which the oligarchs (by way of #RepresentativeDemocracy), misdirect and zap our limited energy and resources, and distract us from their theft of everything valuable; including planetary life.
