Rain, Rain Go Away!
Rainstorm recorded on October 28, 2011 in Din Daeng District in Bangkok,
Thailand. This past month many Southeast Asian countries have been
affected by a prolonged monsoon season and excessive flooding.
For the
past week and a half Thais living in Bangkok have been preparing for the
imminent flood waters that have inundated many provinces outside of
Bangkok and have taken the lives of more than 350 people.

Jeena kaisa Pyar bina [What is life without love ] }
Is Duniya Mein Aaye ho to [Now that you have come to this world] }
(2x)
Ek Duje se pyar karo [Love each other, one another ] }
Look in the eyes
Of the face of love
Look in her eyes
Oh, there is peace
No nothing dies
Within pure light
Only one hour
Of this pure love
To last a life
Of thirty years
Only one hour
So come and go

This morning, I awoke to a wonderful cup of hot, aromatic coffee. Just a moment before, I had spotted a fuchsia dragon, swimming in the fluffy clouds. I stretched my hand to it and the little dragon sat in my palm. I marveled at the beautiful thing, with its striking yellow eyes and a long purplish blue tongue. I put the little dragon in front of a potted plant that was annoying me for some reason I wasnt sure of. To my surprise, the little dragon chomped the plant in one swift bite, leaving just a bit of a stump. Dreaming is a marvelous thing, as is waking up to a warm cup of coffee.

Love to all Peoples! The Poverty of Philosophy by Immortal Technique
Poverty of Philosophy
by Immortal Technique
Most of my Latino and black people who are struggling to get food, clothes and shelter in the hood are so concerned with that, that philosophising about freedom and socialist democracy is usually unfortunately beyond their rationale. They don't realize that America can't exist without separating them from their identity, because if we had some sense of who we really are, there's no way in hell we'd allow this country to push it's genocidal consensus on our homelands. This ignorance exists, but it can be destroyed.
Niggas talk about change and working within the system to achieve that. The problem with always being a conformist is that when you try to change the system from within, it's not you who changes the system; it's the system that will eventually change you. There is usually nothing wrong with compromise in a situation, but compromising yourself in a situation is another story completely, and I have seen this happen long enough in the few years that I've been alive to know that it's a serious problem. Latino America is a huge colony of countries whose presidents are cowards in the face of economic imperialism. You see, third world countries are rich places, abundant in resources, and many of these countries have the capacity to feed their starving people and the children we always see digging for food in trash on commercials. But plutocracies, in other words a government run by the rich such as this one and traditionally oppressive European states, force the third world into buying overpriced, unnecessary goods while exporting huge portions of their natural resources.
I'm quite sure that people will look upon my attitude and sentiments and look for hypocrisy and hatred in my words. My revolution is born out of love for my people, not hatred for others.
You see, most of Latinos are here because of the great inflation that was caused by American companies in Latin America. Aside from that, many are seeking a life away from the puppet democracies that were funded by the United States; places like El Salvador, Guatemala, Peru, Colombia, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Republica Dominicana, and not just Spanish-speaking countries either, but Haiti and Jamaica as well.
As different as we have been taught to look at each other by colonial society, we are in the same struggle and until we realize that, we'll be fighting for scraps from the table of a system that has kept us subservient instead of being self-determined. And that's why we have no control over when the embargo will stop in Cuba, or when the bombs will stop dropping in Vieques.
But you see, here in America the attitude that is fed to us is that outside of America there live lesser people. "Fuck them, let them fend for themselves." No, Fuck you, they are you. No matter how much you want to dye your hair blonde and put fake eyes in, or follow an anorexic standard of beauty, or no matter how many diamonds you buy from people who exploit your own brutally to get them, no matter what kind of car you drive or what kind of fancy clothes you put on, you will never be them. They're always gonna look at you as nothing but a little monkey. I'd rather be proud of what I am, rather than desperately trying to be something I'm really not, just to fit in. And whether we want to accept it or not, that's what this culture or lack of culture is feeding us.
I want a better life for my family and for my children, but it doesn't have to be at the expense of millions of lives in my homeland. We're given the idea that if we didn't have these people to exploit then America wouldn't be rich enough to let us have these little petty material things in our lives and basic standards of living. No, that's wrong. It's the business giants and the government officials who make all the real money. We have whatever they kick down to us. My enemy is not the average white man, it's not the kid down the block or the kids I see on the street; my enemy is the white man I don't see: the people in the white house, the corporate monopoly owners, fake liberal politicians those are my enemies. The generals of the armies that are mostly conservatives those are the real motherfuckers that I need to bring it to, not the poor, broke country-ass soldier that's too stupid to know shit about the way things are set up.
In fact, I have more in common with most working and middle-class white people than I do with most rich black and Latino people. As much as racism bleeds America, we need to understand that classism is the real issue. Many of us are in the same boat and it's sinking, while these bougie Mother-Fuckers ride on a luxury liner, and as long as we keep fighting over kicking people out of the little boat we're all in, we're gonna miss an opportunity to gain a better standard of living as a whole.
In other words, I don't want to escape the plantation I want to come back, free all my people, hang the Mother-Fucker that kept me there and burn the house to the god damn ground. I want to take over the encomienda and give it back to the people who work the land.
You cannot change the past but you can make the future, and anyone who tells you different is a Fucking lethargic devil. I don't look at a few token Latinos and black people in the public eye as some type of achievement for my people as a whole. Most of those successful individuals are sell-outs and house Negros.
But, I don't consider brothers a sell-out if they move out of the ghetto. Poverty has nothing to do with our people. It's not in our culture to be poor. That's only been the last 500 years of our history; look at the last 2000 years of our existence and what we brought to the world in terms of science, mathematics, agriculture and forms of government. You know the idea of a confederation of provinces where one federal government controls the states? The Europeans who came to this country stole that idea from the Iroquois league. The idea of impeaching a ruler comes from an Aztec tradition. That's why Montezuma was stoned to death by his own people 'cause he represented the agenda of white Spaniards once he was captured, not the Aztec people who would become Mexicans.
So in conclusion, I'm not gonna vote for anybody just 'cause they black or Latino they have to truly represent the community and represent what's good for all of us proletariat.

The modern concept of geo-engineering (or climate engineering) describes deliberately manipulating the Earth's climate to counteract the effects of global warming from greenhouse gas emissions.
The geoengineering of Earth's climate systems is achieved through two primary ideologies, Solar Radiation Management (SRM) and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR)
1-Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and sequestration. This is artificial trees, ocean fertilization etc. These projects are declassified for the most part.
2- Solar Radiation Management (SRM), controlling sunlight before it reaches the planet.
A- Stratospheric Aerosol Geo-Engineering (SAG-SRM) is the artificial modification of Earth's climate systems using reflective nano-materials (aerosols) to reflect sunlight. The aerosols are dispersed via jet aircraft trails that expand into reflective artificial clouds.
The reflective material of choice is aluminum.
Of course, like any planetary-scale project dealing with the complex climate system, there is a non-trivial risk of unintended consequences.

Mañenguito, Maestro de la Conga
Giovanni Hidalgo a.k.a. "Mañenguito" is an Puerto Rican educator and master percussionist. His grandfather had also been a musician as well as his father, José Manuel Hidalgo "Mañengue", who was a renowned conga player. Therefore, Hidalgo was raised in a household surrounded by drums, bongos, congas and timbales.
He received a conga for his eighth birthday which had been handmade by
his father. As a young child he practiced and developed his speed and
playing skills on the conga and on the other instruments in his house.

aKido is the moniker of Kim Gaboury, a Montreal based electronic musician and composer who, in the past five years has released three albums on his label Nordique Records. Dubbed « local underground high flier » and « the best kept secret in our latitudes » by some in the Montreal press, aKido has been celebrated for creating a sound that marries elements of experimental rock and indie electronica into a catchy arrangement. Alongside the release of his instrumental hit “Dancing in Chains”, a notorious remix of “Beggin” for the ADIDAS Originals campaign has only served to cement aKido’s renown.

Zuccotti Park, near Wall Street is where the Occupy Wall Street protests
began on September 17, 2011. There were many issues tables, a library,
a kitchen providing free food donated by local restaurants, a medical
triage area and even a section where musicians and dancers provided
entertainment. On this day, the park was alive with a constant flow of
people. The ambiance is what I would describe as festive. Enjoy.

a warm song
a warm song breaks in gentle waves
bobbing soul floats like buoyant soap
a warm universe of repose.
heat radiates from the sacred cup
hands channel positivity
charged notation directed into the flow
banishing an icy Winter chill.
a warm song swings in rolling meter
inner echos a call in response
without volition tensile control
ripened fruit at the crux of release
bird on wire, bird in flight
the thumping sound when
stone hits ground
a warm song drones harmonic tones
an ancient narrative unmindful
sensed within the bone and sinew
dancing feet sway arms and torso
self expression stomp and spin
heart and soul swirling joy
mind in rhythmic unison
