Today's Good Reads

Frigga's Day 03 July 2009

"All the news that gives others fits to print."

Compiled By John "Birdman" Bryant

"Strike while the irony is hot."--JBR Yant

"The time for violence is when they come for your guns."--JBR Yant

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst; the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!"
-- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

"Ideas are more dangerous than guns. We don't let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas?"--Josef Stalin

"[Do not] suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberty [to publish] by any pretenses of politeness, delicacy or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice."--John Adams

Search for the truth is the noblest occupation of man; its publication is a duty.
--Madame de Stael

"People will sometimes forgive you if you are wrong; but they will neverforgive you if you are RIGHT." --Socrates

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change
the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has."
--Margaret Mead

If you're going to fight, fight smart.Martyrs are a lot less valuable than victories. --JBR Yant

The key to being free is to fight back. --JBR Yant

If you will not fight for your rights when you can easily win without bloodshed -- if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly -- then you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival.
There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
--Winston Churchill

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
-- H.L. Mencken
Birdman comment:Did somebody say "The War on Terror"?

Freedom begins between the ears.--Edward Abbey

"The smallest good deed is worth the grandest intention."


The true patriot is often one who loves his country and hates his government. For this reason, the Birdman suggests that we junk the old jingoistic carte-blanche-for-the-pols pledge to the flag, and substitute the Birdman's

TRUE PATRIOT'S PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

"I pledge allegiance to the Constitution, and to limited government and personal freedom for which it stands: Free speech and press, the right to keep and bear arms, limited taxation, secure property, sound money, the right to associate and do business freely, the right to preserve our nation and culture as the communally-owned property of its native citizens, and in general the right to be free of alien influence and government intrusion without urgent reason."


The following are books that every intelligent and educated person should read:

Alien Agenda- Jim Marrs

Remote Viewers- Jim Schnabel

The Franklin Coverup- John DeCamp

Inventing the AIDS Virus- Peter Duesberg

Defrauding America- Rodney Stich

Beyond Supernature- Lyall Watson

If your local library doesn't have them, they can probably be obtained thru an interlibrary loan request.


IF YOU LIKE OUR SITE, TELL OTHERS; IF NOT, TELL US! THANKS!


IMPORTANT NOTE ON EMAIL: The Uno Hooze, or maybe the Feds, are evidently screwing with our mail, with the result that important incoming mail is either not received, or comes 2 or 3 months late, while important outgoing mail sometimes does not ever get to the person intended. This is particularly bad in the case of contributors, whom we always thank promptly, but who may not receive those thank-you letters. NOTE: We always answer all personal letters provided we recognize them as personal, but these may be screwed with as well. Further note that we cannot possibly read all the mail we receive, but we do try to read at least a few submissions from everyone over the period of a week or so (an interesting or descriptive header will help to get your piece read), especially newbies and those who have proved themselves to be reliable senders of interesting stuff.


Special note to readers:
Unfortunately, the Turkey Santa has not brought good news this year to the Birdman household. In particular, Birdman has recently been struggling with ill health, and for this reason there is some doubt as to whether the Daily Reads Page -- or indeed Birdman himself -- is going to continue. However, we have developed the following proposal which we hope will allow the continuation of Daily Reads, altho obviously on a somewhat different basis. There may be other proposals which will work better -- eg, a new editor, or a 'Free Republic' type format -- but till such a proposal can be developed, we will stick with this. HERE IS OUR PROPOSAL:
If we have been posting your articles on Daily Reads at least occasionally, then for the time being YOU ARE HEREBY GRANTED THE PRIVILEGE OF POSTING AT LEAST ONE ARTICLE PER DAY ON DAILY READS. Just put the character "1" as the first character in your header, and we will normally post it (Exception: Recent duplicates). THE LAST ARTICLE TO BE RECEIVED WHICH IS MARKED "1" WILL BE THE ONE POSTED. If time permits, I will try to look at all articles marked "1" and will try to give them some sort of ranking.
In addition to the above 'privileged posts', if time permits I will try to select a few stories which will be my own choices for the day. The approximate maximum number of posts -- my own plus submissions -- will not generally exceed TWENTY-FIVE.
The above 'privileged status' will not apply to anything other than stories -- ie, not pix, girls, jokes or the like. Also, please do NOT send articles on topics we do not usually cover, including especially theology.
Our primary reason for the above proposals is that newer readers are not getting to see many stories of the type which have already been posted, and which we have been reluctant to repost because they may appear repetitive to others.
Thanks for your cooperation. We believe that the white liberationist community badly needs a daily page to reflect its views, and with your help it can do so. -Birdman

Poem by John Bryant:

I Am a Spirit


I am a spirit, truly free, and speaking as I ken;

I take the name of Galileo, Peter Zenger, Lenny Bruce and many lesser men;

The Keepers and the Patriarchs have silenced me as one for sure insane --

I have been silenced, yes, but do not fear -- for I shall speak again!

*************

Poem by Yevgeny Yevtushenko (1967) entitled "The Poet" :

The raven fears to peck at his eyes.

All seeing and austere,

the poet gazes,

and even in death

he is ever the same warrior,

and even in death

his enemies' terror.

A most extraordinary book, "Why Me?", about a boy who harnessed the healing power of his mind

"I open the orangutan's door [of its circus cage] and set a pan of fruits, vegetables, and nuts on the floor. As I close it, the long arm reaches through the bars. She points at an orange in another pan [outside the cage]. 'That? You want that?' She continues to point, blinking at me with close-set eyes. Her features are concave, her face a wide platter fringed with red hair. She's the most outrageous and beautiful thing I've ever see. 'Here.' I say, handing her the orange. 'You can have it.' She takes it and sets it on the floor. Then she reaches out again. After several seconds of serious misgivings, I hold out my hand. She wraps her long fingers around it, then lets go. She sits on her haunches and peels her orange. I stare in amazement. She was thanking me." (p. 118, Water for Elephants, a novel by Sara Gruen (but see the book linked to here).

Jason Mraz sings "I'm Yours"

(A submitter of a book proposal writes:)

I am a professor at a community college in California, where I teach a course in critical thinking (logic & argumentation). I have written a textbook for my students and distribute it through the college print shop....Ideally, the printed book would have these characteristics: it would be spiral bound and at a reasonable price to the students.

WHY MY BOOK IS DIFFERENT: Unlike most authors in this field, my background is not philosophy or rhetoric, but clinical psychology and management consulting, giving me a more practical, problem-solving orientation. I cover traditional diagramming techniques (e.g., Venn Diagrams, contingency tables) but some new approaches as well, such as "logic paths." Here is a youtube video of me explaining that concept.

Girl of the Day-An artistic study in the biology of where you came from and the restaurants you first ate at. Culled from pictures freely available on the Net. Made available as a public service to encourage white men to reproduce themselves, to help old men who are having problems with the Staff of Life, and for the lavender loveboys who don't know what they are missing. (For you legal eagles, the items just cited represent this feature's socially-redeeming importance. What's more, they meet community standards of decency -- the community of the netizens of cyberspace.). NOT FOR PRUDES OR THOSE UNDER 18!!!
