Shades Of Anger
RAFEEF ZIADAH is a Canadian-Palestinian spoken word artist and activist. Her debut CD Hadeel is dedicated to Palestinian youth, who still fly kites in the face of F16 bombers, who still remember the names if their villages in Palestine and still hear the sound of Hadeel (cooing of doves) over Gaza.

To This Day
By Shane Koyczan
The Power Of Your Words
And if you can't see anything beautiful about yourself...
Get a better mirror.
Look a little closer.
Stare a little longer.

STRIVE !
Heretic Productions Present: "Strive"
Poetry By "Les Visible"
For everyone
who has ever stood and said
at any time
that Justice will triumph
that Truth shall prevail
that a fair shake
an even break
is the birthright of every living thing
and got shot down
imprisoned
tortured
and burned at the stake
for revealing to the darkness
that the dawn would soon break
I say
strive...
strive...
strive...
for everyone
spontaneously ignited
by that overwhelming
inexpressible
love from within
and who shined it forth
when the chips were down
and remained strong
while the weapons tore their flesh
I say
strive...
strive...
strive...
for everyone who has reached out to breathe
like some paranoid crustacean
crawling fearful from the sea
for everyone
who has seen the alleys
the knives
the clubs
the dreadful comprehension
of brutal intent
the horrible unrecognizing eye
of brotherhood blinded
and knew
that Love could not die
I say strive...
strive...
strive...

Time
Heretic Productions Present: Time
Comes the application of change.
I will give you the key.
And with this knowledge, please realize,
Comes the responsibility of sharing it.
I will show you the way (it’s very simple).
Throughout the Universe, there is order:
In the movement of the planets…in nature…
And in the functioning of the human mind.
A mind that is, in its natural state of order,
Is in harmony with the Universe,
And such a mind is timeless.
Your life is an expression of your mind.
You are the creator of your own Universe.
For as a human being you are “free will.”
Whatever state of being you desire,
Through the use of your thoughts and words.
Aah, There is great Power.
There can be a blessing or a curse.
It’s entirely up to you.
For the quality of your life,
Is brought about by the quality of your thinking.
Think, about that.
Thoughts produce actions.
Look at what you are thinking.
See the pettiness and the envy and the greed and the fear
And all the other attitudes that cause you pain and discomfort.
Realize that the one thing you have absolute control over, is your attitude.
See the effect that it has on those around you.
For each life is linked to all Life,
And your words carry with them chain reactions,
Like a stone that has been Thrown into a pond.
If your thinking is in order,
Your words will flow directly from the heart,
Creating ripples of love.
If you truly want to change your world, my friend,
You must change your thinking.
Reason is your greatest tool.
It creates an atmosphere of understanding,
Which leads to caring,
Which is Love.
Choose your words with care.
Go forth….with Love.
Stand before me, on the Sign of Infinity,
All of you of Earth.
With the granting of the “Law of Probenation,”All of you of Earth.
Comes the application of change.
I will give you the key.
And with this knowledge, please realize,
Comes the responsibility of sharing it.
I will show you the way (it’s very simple).

Rage & Outrage Are Waiting
Courtesy Of "Heretic Productions"
The Writings of "Jim Kirwan"
Many think that 7-11-11 will be the day that the US Stock Market will collapse; but whether or not this will happen on that date is not the point. The point is that the time has come for all our blatant disregard for the greed and arrogance of the uncommon-criminals that have run this civilization into the muck of history to finally have to pay for everything that we have been doing for far too long.
Our 'troops' have been murdering unarmed people around the world for so long that most see this as just part of the inevitable price we pay for our place as the leaders of the world. No one asks if anyone, besides ourselves, wanted us to assume this role as "the self-appointed-leader of the whole-wide-world."
We have been "AT WAR" against the world since 1991, in Iraq. And we have now expanded that illegal war into our wars upon Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq again in 2003, Somalia, and now Libya: With other wars planned for Lebanon, Syria, Bahrain, and a number of other nations as their own civil wars spill over into new threats against the New World Order and its Fascist policies. So far these illegal and unilaterally declared wars-on-terror" have cost us over three trillion dollars but they have also cost us the respect of the entire community of nations and earned us the hatred of billions of people the world over.
Just like Israel we have been making war upon unarmed women and children, in nation-states without armies or air forces, anywhere where the population cannot return fire in kind. The numbers of the innocent and the dead are horrifyingly huge. In Iraq alone about four years ago there had already been over two million murdered, two million seriously disabled and another two million that had fled the county to avoid being murdered. And those numbers have only grown since that time. Because after those numbers became a reality we began using drones to add to the death tolls that have continued to skyrocket. Our "forces" are attacking people in their own homes and murdering them at will overseas. In much the same way as our own police forces here have begun to arm their departments with military tanks and fascist powers that take no account of the Constitution or anything beside what each thug in uniform might decide to do at any given point in time. The police have become FEARED in much the same way that ordinary people once feared criminals: Only this is worse because the police were supposed to be the agency of government that people could look to for protection rather than torture, accusations and possibly death that can easily now result because someone called "911," or because someone dared to ask a question of an officer that had responded to such a call. (1)
People can now also be arrested for attending public meetings and attempting to report on the public comments made at such meetings. (2)
But these conflicts in the US pale by comparison to what we routinely do to whole families and whole nations overseas: To them we are "The Nightmare Incarnate," the never to be known but always to be feared-and our day in the court of public opinion (the world over) is about to have its day; because the outrage can no longer be ignored; any more than all that corporate and private criminality can withstand the truth which is that virtually everything and every government have behaved beyond all the laws that were meant to keep them under 'our control.'
'This is IT in its most basic form: The one thing that everyone has feared and very few have ever dreamt "could ever happen here." The five places mentioned are merely the starting points for the massive and out-of-control behavior that will mark this most devastating of all global events which the world has suffered, since the detrimental effects of this human-experimental-project began to be felt upon the planet. The date itself is uncertain, but the FACT of its arrival is no longer open to debate.' (3)
The repercussions from the collapse of the US dollar will have untold repercussions around the world almost instantly as soon as the collapse begins. . . Everything else that will flow from this event will begin to make itself known very graphically. All those criminals that were never charged with their crimes against humanity, or their attempted murder of over four-fifths of the global population, will be among those heads (by the truckload) that will roll as the RAGE makes itself felt and turns into Global-Outrage that will easily overpower any and all formerly "untouchable-figureheads" and all of those that have been plotting this end-of-the-world disaster for centuries. The chaos once created cannot be contained again, except by those that will have suffered the most under the crimes that have brought us all to this final-edge-of-oblivion.
The irony is that it will not be reported because global-communications will be among the very first casualties of this revolt; along with food and water and the ability to just survive. So the numbers of the remaining population will no doubt dwindle to a mere shadow of the number of people that are on the planet at this moment: but there will be no joy in surviving the flames or the chaos, because the human population will have been taken back to the time before the wheel was invented, if they are able to survive at all.
Congratulations Amerika; you continued your REFUSAL TO BE MOVED, until there are now 'no options' left for you to take. But then how else to deal with people that see nothing wrong with murdering so many billion people over the hundreds of years that we have been doing this to others; because we could? When we were confronted by international laws or the national laws of other countries, we just ignored it all because we're special and the laws of society apparently do not apply to the people of the New World Order or Israel, so we continued. Now the fraud throughout the global financial world has created an impasse so great that no one can move forward any more; just as it has been foretold a thousand, thousand times during the whole of this nightmare: but we refused to BELIEVE that this could ever happen here to us, in this country, in the twenty-first century.
But neither 'RAGE' nor 'OUTRAGE' can be postponed forever, because that's how the natural world works, and no amount of fascist dictates can ever change that, not even for second!
So we were wrong, it can happen and it will happen here; because the natural laws of the world can only tolerate such imbalances for just so long and no longer: Welcome to PAYBACK and good luck dealing with all those people that will be on their way to OUTRAGE without a second glance before the powers that believe they are invincible can even mobilize any real resistance!
