The Truth Is Stronger Than the Baton – THE 99%
Trickle-Down – Tragically Hip

A musical offering of one of my favorite songs. Someone set it to images of "Occupy" and other protests against injustice and fascist oppression.

Are the hungry, homeless, and hurting the problem or the hateful haughty hypocrites? You are the 99%.

“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.”

G20 face-lift: Delhi removes poor people, but not poverty

As tulips were flown in and posters of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi went up, thousands of poor people in India’s capital have been displaced amid a strategic beautification drive. Experts say the $112 million face-lift has come at a hefty cost to the city’s most vulnerable people.
