Pepper-Spray Cop Works His Way Through Art History
Lt. John Pike, the U.C. Davis campus police officer who pepper-sprayed passive student protesters, is popping up in some of the world’s most famous paintings as part of an Internet meme intended to shame him for his actions.
Over the weekend, Pike’s visage popped up in Photoshopped into other scenes of languid passivity, such as Edouard Manet’s “Le Dejeuner sur l’Herbe” (The Luncheon on the Grass) pictured above.
Archibald Willard’s “The Spirit of ‘76” has a new addition.
The images are a cheeky way of fighting back against what students say was an unwarranted use of forceful policing tactics. The university has defended Pike’s actions, though he and two other police officers have been suspended pending an investigation.

Work for Peace!
A video montage featuring a parade of various military aircraft,
accompanied by a live reading of Work for Peace, by the late, great,
poet-bluesologist Gil Scott-Heron.
Gilbert "Gil" Scott-Heron (April 1, 1949 -- May 27, 2011) was an American soul and jazz poet, musician, and author known primarily for his work as a spoken word performer in the 1970s and '80s. His collaborative efforts with musician Brian Jackson featured a musical fusion of jazz, blues, and soul, as well as lyrical content concerning the social and political issues of the time. His own term for himself was "bluesologist", which he defined as "a scientist who is concerned with the origin of the blues."
An excerpt from the article:
"An Evening with Gil Scott-Heron: There is Joy in the Struggle" by Kevin Gosztola
http://www.opednews.com/articles/1/An-Evening-with-Gil-Scott-by-Kevin-Gosztol...
"You can't teach the value of creative expression in school. You can't tell someone they have to use their art or media for the greater good. But, you can envelope someone in events with people like Gil Scott-Heron who believe in what they do and show them an alternative to the art and media we consume on a regular basis that seems to be far removed from the issues we experience and the lives we live every single day.
What Gil Scott-Heron shows is that people can find a voice in art (especially music). Movements need people like Gil Scott-Heron to open people's minds so that people who are not creative, not humorous, or not artistic can then present people with some truths that might compel them to act.
Yes, we've got to work for peace. There ain't gonna be no peace unless we go to work. But, peace isn't just taking down the military or breaking up the monetary and the military. It isn't just finding confidence in fighting for what some deem a lost cause, something unrealistic.
Peace is having soul. Peace is unleashing that soul in the company of others. And, peace is having the fortitude to push on and do what you believe needs to be done so that the next day you can have high spirits and maintain high hopes for a brighter day."
Work for Peace!

Eastern Mysticism
Mysticism, the practice of those [who are initiated into the mysteries], the
practice of putting oneself into, and remaining in, direct relation with
God, the Absolute, or any unifying principle of life. Mysticism is
inseparably linked with religion. Because of the nature of mysticism,
firsthand objective studies of it are virtually impossible, and students
must confine themselves to the accounts of mystics, autobiographical
and biographical, or, as the mystics themselves say, they must
experience for themselves. The terms mystic and mysticism are used very broadly in English, being extended to mean magic, occultism, or the esoteric.
