Imagi / Nation.....

All things larger than life are

Self consuming.

A resource in abundance....

Incompetency is more favorably 

Biased towards criminality....and

Criminality ...(Like incompetence)

Like weed and sea water

Is in abundance.....

Among humans.

Conscience warns us 

before it reproaches us.

Trappings...

Ritual is......

The most primordial order of 

Human species.

Justice...

The only thing worth guarding. 

Quote of the day....

Integrity has no need of rules.

-- Albert Camus
(1913-1960) French Algerian author

Reflections.../Living healthy....

Even in the face of ensuing conflict

Start the day with a good intention.

A realization is to be free of the old garb.../ The art of Living......

Even revolution, which transforms 

a concrete situation of oppression by 

establishing the process of liberation, 

must confront thus phenomenon. 

Many of the oppressed..... 

who directly or indirectly 

participate in revolution intend — 

conditioned by the myths of the old order — 

to make it their private revolution. 

The shadow of their former oppressor is 

still cast over them. 

---Paulo Freire. 
Pedagogy of the Oppressed. 

Waiting for Godot...

There is no preparation or 

Training of people...... 

For absurdity.

Quote of the day.....

True generosity consists precisely 

in fighting to destroy 

the causes which nourish false charity. 

False charity constrains 

the fearful and subdued, 

the “rejects of life” to extend 

their trembling hands. 

True generosity lies in striving 

so that these hands — 

whether of individuals or entire peoples — 

need be extended less and less in supplication, 

so that more and more 

they become human hands 

which work and, working, 

transform the world.

Quote of the day...

Falsehood of the tongue leads to 

that of the heart, and in time depraves 

all its good dispositions.

US Founding Father, 3rd US President.
Drafted the Declaration of Independence.

Chapter 1

Indeed, the interests of the oppressors lie in 

'changing the consciousness of the oppressed, 

not the situation which oppresses them.

Quote of the day.....

If you make people think they're thinking, 

they'll love you; 

But if you really make them think, 

they'll hate you.

― Don Marquis.

Quote of the day...

The courts are not bound by mere forms, 

nor are they to be misled by mere pretenses. 

They are at liberty — 

indeed, are under a solemn duty — 

to look at the substance of things, 

whenever they enter upon the inquiry 

whether the legislature has transcended 

the limits of its authority. 

If therefore, a statute 

purporting to have been enacted 

to protect the public health, 

the public morals, or the public safety, 

has no real or substantial relation 

to those objects, or 

is a palpable invasion of rights secured by 

the fundamental law, 

it is the duty of the courts to so adjudge, and 

thereby give effect to the Constitution.

-- Mugler v. Kansas

The sheep....and the shepherd...

The fact that in any given condition

The people are left with no choice 

Other than to trust their rulers is

What makes.....

The irresponsibility of those 

Who choose to Rule....

An irreconcilable sin.

Extreme rendition and torture-by-proxy.....

Although he initially tried to assert his innocence, 

he eventually confessed to anything 

his tormentors wanted him to say. 

“You just give up, he said. 

“You become like an animal.”

---Maher Arar.

A Canadian engineer sent Syria.
A year later, in October, 2003, 
Arar was released without charges. … 
Imad Moustapha, the Syrian Ambassador 

in Washington, announced 

that his country had found no links between 
Arar and terrorism. Arar, it turned out, 
had been sent to Syria on orders from 

the U.S. government, under a secretive 

program known as “extraordinary rendition.” 
This program had been devised as 

a means of extraditing terrorism suspects 

from one foreign state to another for 
interrogation and prosecution. 
Critics contend that the unstated purpose of 
such renditions is to subject the suspects to 
aggressive methods of persuasion 
that are illegal in America—including torture.

The Stanford Experiment.........

In dehumanizing others..........

We can not expect to hold them

To any known standards.

         *         *        *        *         *

Dehumanization, 

although a concrete historical fact,

is not a given destiny but 

the result of an unjust order 

that engenders violence in the oppressors, 

which in turn dehumanizes the oppressed.

---Paulo Freire.

Quote of the day...

What important truth do..... 

very few people agree with you on?

― Peter Thiel.

To be parasiting and para sitting.....The story of the hand that feeds...

Since the dawn of human civilizations

Agriculture labor is the most exploited 

Human resource that is still at 

The bottom of food chain.

Quote of the day.....

[I]t is a truth which the experience of 

all ages has attested, that the people are 

always most  in danger, when 

the means of injuring their rights are 

in the possession of those of whom 

they entertain the least suspicion.

By merit....

Those of who often argue 

On behalf of merit are

Mostly the One's......... 

That seeks privilege 

In one fashion or another.

Bi polar.....

Expressions in human intelligence

are not an anomaly... 

Either as Good or Bad...

Like good cop ...bad cop.

Quote of the day....

It is an ancient truth......

that freedom cannot be legislated 

into existence,

so it is no less obvious.... 

that freedom cannot be censored 

into existence.

And any who act as if freedom's defenses 

are found in suppression and 

suspicion and fear confess 

a doctrine that is alien to America.

-- Dwight D. Eisenhower
(1890-1969), 34th US President, WWII General

Quote of the day....

If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, 

should in terms renounce or

give up any natural right, 

the eternal law of reason and 

the grand end of society would absolutely 

vacate such renunciation. 

The right to freedom being 

the gift of Almighty God, 

it is not in the power of man

to alienate this gift and 

voluntarily become a slave.

-- Samuel Adams
(1722-1803), was known as 
the "Father of the American Revolution.

Homeostasis........

Where there is prejudice

There is neither learning 

Nor teaching. 

War....

Other ways to die.

Quote of the day.....

We have to emancipate ourselves 

before we can emancipate others.

---Marcus Garvey.

Full Quote:

We are going to emancipate ourselves from 

mental slavery because..... 

whilst others might free the body, 

none but ourselves can free the mind. 

Mind is your only ruler, sovereign. 

The man who is not able to develop and use 

his mind is bound to be the slave of 

the other man who uses his mind….

Lyrics:

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;

Sold I to the merchant ships,

Minutes after they took I

From the bottomless pit.

But my hand was made strong

By the hand of the Almighty.

We forward in this generation

Triumphantly.

Won’t you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

‘Cause all I ever have:

Redemption songs,

Redemption songs.


Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;

None but ourselves can free our minds.

Have no fear for atomic energy,

‘Cause none of them can stop the time.

How long shall they kill our prophets,

While we stand aside and look? Ooh!

Some say it’s just a part of it:

We’ve got to fulfill the Book.


Won’t you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

‘Cause all I ever have:

Redemption songs,

Redemption songs,

Redemption songs.


Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;

None but ourselves can free our mind.

Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,

‘Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.

How long shall they kill our prophets,

While we stand aside and look?

Yes, some say it’s just a part of it:

We’ve got to fulfill the book.

Won’t you have to sing

These songs of freedom? –

‘Cause all I ever had:

Redemption songs –

All I ever had:

Redemption songs:

These songs of freedom,

Songs of freedom.

Quote of the day........

There never did, there never will, and

there never can exist a parliament, or

in any country,.......... 

possessed of the right or the power of 

binding and controlling posterity 

to the `end of time,’ or of commanding 

for ever how the world shall be governed, or 

who shall govern it. ... 

Every age and generation must be 

as free to act for itself, in all cases, 

as the ages and generations.....

which preceded it.

-- Thomas Paine(1737-1809) 

US Founding father, pamphleteer, author


              *       *      *     *      *

Neither  in a conscious will of people

Nor in an individual invested in authority 

Lies all the wisdom.........

Sanskritization.....

Sanskritization is an assemblage and

Codification of the existing.....

Families of root/native languages.

In wisdom.....

Pursuit of ambiguity leads to... 

Skewed judgement.

Quote of the day....

If language is not correct,

then what is said is not what is meant;

If what is said is not what is meant,

then what must be done remains undone;

If this remains undone,

morals and art will deteriorate;

If justice goes astray,

the people will stand about in 

helpless confusion.

Hence there must be 

no arbitrariness in what is said.

This matters above everything.

-- Confucius
[Kung Fu-tse] (551-479 B.C.)

Manufacturing Consent.......

There are no true consistencies...

In memory of Stephen Hawking.....

Remember to look up at the stars and 

not down at your feet.

Try to make sense of what you see and 

about what makes the universe exist. 

Be curious. 

And however difficult life may seem, 

there is always something you can do, 

and succeed at. 

It matters that you don’t just give up.

--Stephen Hawking, 
As he celebrated his 70th birthday.

quote of the day......

A single idea, if it is right, 

saves us the labor of an infinity of experiences.

-- Jacques Maritain
(1882-1973) French Catholic philosopher

Quote of the day.....

A fact which is not denied but 

whose truths are rationalized  

loses its objective base. 

Quote of the day.....

I see that there are many young people here; 

as an old man, a little advice... 

Life can set us a lot of snares, a lot of bumps, 

we can fail a thousand times, in life, in love, 

in the social struggle, but if we search for it 

we'll have the strength to get up again and start over. 

The most beautiful thing about the day is that it dawns. 

There is always a dawn after the night has passed. 

Don't forget it, kids. 

The only losers are the ones who stop fighting.

A power over a man's subsistence amounts to 

a power over his will.

Quote of the day.....

It is maintained that a society is free only 

when dissenting minorities have room to 

throw their weight around. 

As a matter of fact, a dissenting minority feels 

free only when it can impose its will on the majority: 

what it abominates most is the dissent of the majority.

-- Eric Hoffer. (1902-1983) American author.
Philosopher. Awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Quote of the day.....

The question is not, Can they reason? nor

Can they talk? but,

Can they suffer?

-- Jermy Bentham.

What matters........

What matters is....

 to find right kind of relationship 

with one another... 

Actually not theoretically and

if that relationship is corrupt, 

dishonest and exploiting 

then in  that relationship there is corruption.... 

Therefore in the world ....

corruption comes in to being.

while we live in conflict 

from the moment..... 

we are born till we die.

---J.Krishnamurthy.

How are we doing.....?

How are you doing ? 

Is probably a question....

Most of us never ask of a dog or pig or 

a bird or any animal species

One comes across in one's life...

But if one had asked the same of 

A fellow human being..... 

Then one is most probably doing it so 

Out of a superficial routine.

Quote of the day.....

Good comes in the form of confession.

-- Dostoevsky.
As quoted by Robert Bresson.

The desire to rule over others.......

Off all the human emotions 

The most irrational one is....

The desire to rule over others.

Quote of the day.....

You are not only responsible for what you say, 

but also for what you do not say.

 — Martin Luther.

Quote of the day.....

Especially in false moralistic societies,

 where religious bigotry is on the helm,

which is world over,

the moral sanctimony is so cruel,

it instead breeds evil,

which says who is next than humanity or compassion

which is embedded in forgiving and

while there are no apparent sanctions 

for one's short coming,

a person will have room to muster enough courage and 

call up on humility ,

which in turn paves a path for virtue to admitting to 

ones folly and short coming ,

since there is no judgement and consequently

one does not have fear about being shamed or 

face abuse from others

but a possibility to become a better human 

on one's own accord.

When a society in its wisdom fails...

individual turn away inwardly fearing

their own inadequacies known to the world 

that would invite abuse and judgement.

So people by and large wear masks of false niceties,

while fearing for their lives ,

conspiring against their own kind,

with out any real faith what so ever,

with a religious affiliation or with out.

__ Brian Williams.

Quote of the day......

"Screaming at each other has never caused change,"

Sure, sometimes major protests and rioting 

in the streets causes change, 

but when it's people one-on-one? 

Having a screaming competition in that setting 

never changes minds. 

So we need to try and understand each other.

-- Sarah Silverman.

Indignities of Oppressor and the Oppressed...........

Raise of the machine........

Bakunin has sometimes been called 

the first theorist of the "new class", meaning 

that a 'class' of intellectuals and bureaucrats 

running the state in the name of the people or 

the proletariat – 

but in reality in their own interests alone. 

Bakunin argued that the "State has always been 

the patrimony of  some privileged class: 

a priestly class, an aristocratic class, a bourgeois class. 

And finally, when all the other classes have 

exhausted themselves, ....

the State then becomes the patrimony of 

the bureaucratic class and then falls—or

if you will, rises—to the position of a machine.

To be......

(All)  Knowledge is ( Omni ) present..... 

Irrespective of an individual's disposition 

In any given world.

Gossip.............

Gossip is communal....

It is an affliction of

The like minded stereotypes.

Between You and Me.....

Between you and me 

You and I know the truth.....

But I have my people behind me.

---Mr. Anonymous.

         *       *       *        *        *

I also took advantage of the fact that 

I was widely admired in my and their community, 

which disabled them from sharing their story and 

brought hardship to them when they tried because 

people who look up to me didn’t want to hear it. 

I didn’t think that I was doing any of that 

because my position allowed me not to think about it.

---Louis C.K.

Quote of the day.......

The study of history is a powerful antidote 

to contemporary arrogance. 

It is humbling to discover how many of 

our glib assumptions, 

which seem to us novel and plausible, 

have been tested before, 

not once but many times and in innumerable guises; 

and discovered to be, 

at great human cost, 

wholly false.

-- Paul Johnson.

Real world........

The real world is a place where it's hard sometimes 

to find people who will listen with an attitude 

that they might actually be convinced of something,

Instead, what happens in most of the real world is 

that people don't listen at all.


They aren't looking to actually learn anything 

about you or about what you think. 

It's a place where people take sides 

rather than trying to understand - 

are they still on the right side? 


They care mostly about their side winning.
