Cowboy Tactics



Just got this facebook message through, this event is going to be sick and it's tonight, 7pm at the Rhythm Factory near Aldgate...

"...and so the curtain rises

Cowboy Tactics:101 - Israel/Palestine - From the River to the Sea...

This is the final mailout to remind you that tomorrow is the launch for CT:101...it's been emotional, we've crossed nations, brought back stories, found new friends and enlightened fresh minds...and that's even before the first ever night...

You've seen the words, you've heard facts - but there's more to these stories than ink on paper, and the rhetoric of television pundits...

We're bringing you testimony - we're bringing you those who bore true witness, who will bring flesh and blood to the headlines that wash around in your mind as you turn the channel over from the news to 'Home & Away'...

But we also bring you music, light and positivity - there is a way, for resistance begins at home...

We will break down the walls of bigotry, we will demand justice for all those wronged by war, and we'll have smiles in our hearts as we do it, and the open palm of friendship and diplomacy extended to all who would take it....

Namaste, Salaam, Shalom, Peace

cows with guns



It's a story and a song that sounds a bit stupid, but im sure theres a deeper meaning here, we're talking about the most passive of all animals- the cow rising up and fighting for their "Bovine Freedom"

Alright its tongue in cheek, but you can see a link between the institutional fuckery that a cow recieves, as a source of profit to "the Man" in this case McD's and BK and the same exploitation people recieve, in terms of the third world by the same type of multinational company. When you think about it, this whole exploitation thing which is pretty ingrained in our world can turn the most peaceful of cultures, or in this case creatures, causing conflict on a global scale. Or is that too deep?
