“How to impose a dictatorial regime”
1 Oct1. Concentrate the populace in megalopolitan masses so that they can be kept under close surveillance and where they can be bombed, burned,gasses or machine gunned with a minimum of expense and waste.
2. Mechanize agriculture to the highest degree of refinement, thus forcing most of the scattered farm and ranching population into the cities. Such a policy is desirable because farmers, woodsmen, cowboys, Indians, fisherman and other self-sufficient types are difficult to manage unless displaced from their natural environment.
3. Restrict the possession of firearms to the police and the regular military organizations.
4. Encourage or at least fail to discourage population growth. Large masses of people are more easily manipulated and dominated than scattered individuals.
5. Continue military conscription. Nothing excels military training for creating in young men an attitude of prompt, cheerful obedience to officially constituted authority.
6. Divert attention from deep conflicts within the society by engaging in foreign wars;make support of these wars a test of loyalty, thereby exposing and isolating potential opposition to the new order.
7. Overlay the nation with a reticulated network of communications, airlines and interstate autobahns.
8. Raze the wilderness.Dam the rivers, flood the canyons, drain the swamps, log the forests, strip mine the hills, bulldoze the mountains, irrigate the deserts and improve the national parks into national parking lots.
~Edward Abbey from “Desert Solitaire” c. 1968
Excerpts from Turle Island
20 Sep1. 92% of Japan’s three million ton import of soybeans comes from the U.S.
2. The U.S. has 6% of the worlds’s poplulation; consumes 1/3 of the energy annually comsumed in the world.
3. The U.S. consumes 1/3 of the world’s annual meat.
4. The top1/5 of American population gets 45% of salary income, and owns about 77% of the total wealth. The top 1% owns 20 to 30% of personal wealth.
5. A modern nation needs 13 basic industrial raw materials. By AD 2000 the U.S. will be import-dependant on all but phosphorus.
6. General Motors is bigger than Holland
7. Nuclear energy is mainly subsidized with fossil fuels and barely yeilds net energy.
8. The “Seven Sisters”-Exxon, Mobil, Texaco, Gulf, Standard of California, British Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell.
9.” The reason solar energy has not and will not be a major contributor or susbtitute for fossil fuels is that it will not compete without energy subsidy from fossil fuel economy. The plants have already maximized the use of sunlight.”-H.T. Odum
10. Our primary source of food is the sun.

18 SepOf course it was 6:00 AM and I stumbled upon this footage of the Headhunters during the ’74 tour. Herbie has such a great tone on that Rhodes. Someday I might actually start posting more stuff. Been so busy with projects. But all done with the poetry trip (for now).
I never google myself but…..
13 AugI was trying to find some links so I could attempt to book a couple of poetry readings this fall when I ran into this. Check out the stache:
