We learned to love you
from the historical heights
where the sun of your bravery
laid siege to death

Here lies the clear,
the deep transparency
of your beloved presence,
Comandante Che Guevara

Your glorious and strong hand
over History it shoots
when all of Santa Clara
awakens to see you

You come burning the breeze
with springtime suns
to plant the flag
with the light of your smile

Your revolutionary love
leads you to new undertaking
where yearned is the firmness
of your liberating arm

We will carry on
as we followed you then
and with Fidel we say to you:
"Until always, Commandant!"

This is a video illustrating the political/social commentary of public graffiti.

It starts out juxtaposing Bush with Obama -- essentially one just took the kleptocratic baton from the other without missing a beat. Then it touches on the downtrodden and disenfranchised. It then moves into the mass media propaganda machine, then mindless consumerism, our oil addiction, empire's oil-centric/exploitive foreign policy, the corporate driven military industrial complex, the environmental consequences of fossil fuels, and then the evolution (fate) of man.

The soundtrack that accompanies the video is claimed to be an unreleased song by NIN entitled "It All Fades".

Thanks to Abby Martin for posting my video at her important website: www.mediaroots.org

"On Friday January 20th, Congress dropped the bills in the wake of the largest online protest in history." SOPA and PIPA were dropped; but yeah, they are going to be making new bills similar to them. meanwhile UK Student Richard O'Dwyer is being extradited to the United States to face USA Courts for just LINKING to copyrighted material on his webpage TVShack.net The USA is using an extradition treaty intended to be used for terrorist to bring England Resident Richard O'Dwyer to America to be imprisoned for copyright infringement for what he did on his TVShack.net site in spite of the Fact that he broke no UK / England Laws and has never been to the USA.This is horrifying.whats next, copyright every word!A law payed to convert a "free" capitalist country to a communist one, only for the benefit of that 1%.

A demonstration was held in Baltimore, on Saturday, January 7, 2012, in support of the "Maryland Dream Act." This law was passed by the General Assembly in 2011. It permits in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants. Then, the law was challenged by opponents. It will now appear on the ballot in November, 2012, via a referendum, for the voters to decide on whether or not it will be enforced. Today's demonstration was sponsored by the ANSWER Coalition, a national organization working for Peace & Justice. Its local organizer, Andrew Castro, shared his views on the event with me.

The Republican candidates vying for the GOP's nomination in the race for the White House are telling America that the country needs to go to war with seemingly every nation on the globe. Is there any reason for these overzealous actions overseas though? Charlie McGrath from Wide Awake

Yes it's all true, but what can we do about it. We weren't able to hold onto our freedom when we were free, how can we get it back now that we are broken slaves?
