She told Mark the White House was calling.

Hi Jodie.
What are you thinking about after the Presidents speech?
I told her
Jane....I totally hear what you are saying and the President has told us to stay open to all opinions and I understand you might feel that way. I want to keep our lines of communication open, but can't do it if I can't work. �I have an email from your list hitting my box every second and can't even process it. �Can you do something about that so our communication can be more productive? �Can you send out another alert with a better address.
(I am thinking does it get any better?)
No I say, but maybe in your email program you could create a folder they all go to, I assume your system is that sophisticated.
She thanks me and says next time she will work with us to make it work better for getting it all to Obama. �
I thank her and say I hope she passes the passion of the CODEPINK members on to Obama. �That there were more in the street than we have seen in a long time. �Thank him for walking the sleeping giant. �We will do all we can to make sure he does not get the money from Congress.
She cordially says goodbye.

WOW they are really told to behave. �It was a wild and weird conversation. �DING DING DING the membership liked it. ��IT WAS FELT. �

My name is Abigail and I'm an activist here in Gainesville, involved in United Voices for Peace and the Students for Justice in Palestine at UF.
I was wondering if Gainesville Code Pink was planning any solidarity actions with the Gaza Freedom March that the national Code Pink is co-organizing.
I and a handful of activists are brainstorming about having a Funeral-style march- with lots of props/street theater/marching band...., tentatively the 2nd week in January... Wondering if Gainesville Code Pink would be interested in organizing/participating.
We will have a meeting at some point next week, let me know if you are interested in coming!

Hi CodePINKs and Lovers of Peace,

It is time for new strategies and new tactics. Peace of the Action will bring forward a historic escalation of anti-war activity, advocacy for peace, like we have not seen in the United States in a very long time. Peace of the Action will seek to clog the Empire by disrupting Washington, DC through civil resistance actions until our demands are met.

Our demand is simple: Troops out of the Middle East, which includes drones, permanent bases, contractors and torture/detention facilities.

Are Americans a Broken People?

Why We've Stopped Fighting Back Against the Forces of Oppression

By Bruce E. Levine, AlterNet. Posted December 11, 2009.

A psychologist asks: Have consumerism, suburbanization and a malevolent corporate-government partnership so beaten us down that we no longer have the will to save ourselves?

Can people become so broken that truths of how they are being screwed do not "set them free" but instead further demoralize them? Has such a demoralization happened in the United States?

Do some totalitarians actually want us to hear how we have been screwed because they know that humiliating passivity in the face of obvious oppression will demoralize us even further?

What forces have created a demoralized, passive, dis-couraged U.S. population?

Can anything be done to turn this around?

Can people become so broken that truths of how they are being screwed do not "set them free" but instead further demoralize them?

Yes. It is called the "abuse syndrome." How do abusive pimps, spouses, bosses, corporations, and governments stay in control? They shove lies, emotional and physical abuses, and injustices in their victims' faces, and when victims are afraid to exit from these relationships, they get weaker. So the abuser then makes their victims eat even more lies, abuses, and injustices, resulting in victims even weaker as they remain in these relationships.

Does knowing the truth of their abuse set people free when they are deep in these abuse syndromes?

No. For victims of the abuse syndrome, the truth of their passive submission to humiliating oppression is more than embarrassing; it can feel shameful -- and there is nothing more painful than shame. When one already feels beaten down and demoralized, the likely response to the pain of shame is not constructive action, but more attempts to shut down or divert oneself from this pain. It is not likely that the truth of one's humiliating oppression is going to energize one to constructive actions.

Has such a demoralization happened in the U.S.?

In the United States, 47 million people are without health insurance, and many millions more are underinsured or a job layoff away from losing their coverage. But despite the current sellout by their elected officials to the insurance industry, there is no outpouring of millions of U.S. citizens on the streets of Washington, D.C., protesting this betrayal.

Polls show that the majority of Americans oppose U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as the taxpayer bailout of the financial industry, yet only a handful of U.S. citizens have protested these circumstances.

Remember the 2000 U.S. presidential election? That's the one in which Al Gore received 500,000 more votes than George W. Bush. That's also the one that the Florida Supreme Court's order for a recount of the disputed Florida vote was overruled by the U.S. Supreme Court in a politicized 5-4 decision, of which dissenting Justice John Paul Stevens remarked: "Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year's presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law." Yet, even this provoked few demonstrators.

When people become broken, they cannot act on truths of injustice. Furthermore, when people have become broken, more truths about how they have been victimized can lead to shame about how they have allowed it. And shame, like fear, is one more way we become even more psychologically broken.

U.S. citizens do not actively protest obvious injustices for the same reasons that people cannot leave their abusive spouses: They feel helpless to effect change. The more we don't act, the weaker we get. And ultimately to deal with the painful humiliation over inaction in the face of an oppressor, we move to shut-down mode and use escape strategies such as depression, substance abuse, and other diversions, which further keep us from acting. This is the vicious cycle of all abuse syndromes.

Do some totalitarians actually want us to hear how we have been screwed because they know that humiliating passivity in the face of obvious oppression will demoralize us even further?

Maybe.

Shortly before the 2000 U.S. presidential election, millions of Americans saw a clip of George W. Bush joking to a wealthy group of people, "What a crowd tonight: the haves and the haves-more. Some people call you the elite; I call you my base." Yet, even with these kind of inflammatory remarks, the tens of millions of U.S. citizens who had come to despise Bush and his arrogance remained passive in the face of the 2000 non-democratic presidential elections.

Perhaps the "political genius" of the Bush-Cheney regime was in their full realization that Americans were so broken that the regime could get away with damn near anything. And the more people did nothing about the boot slamming on their faces, the weaker people became.

What forces have created a demoralized, passive, dis-couraged U.S. population?

The U.S. government-corporate partnership has used its share of guns and terror to break Native Americans, labor union organizers, and other dissidents and activists. But today, most U.S. citizens are broken by financial fears. There is potential legal debt if we speak out against a powerful authority, and all kinds of other debt if we do not comply on the job. Young people are broken by college-loan debts and fear of having no health insurance.

The U.S. population is increasingly broken by the social isolation created by corporate-governmental policies. A 2006 American Sociological Review study ("Social Isolation in America: Changes in Core Discussion Networks over Two Decades") reported that, in 2004, 25 percent of Americans did not have a single confidant. (In 1985, 10 percent of Americans reported not having a single confidant.) Sociologist Robert Putnam, in his 2000 book, Bowling Alone, describes how social connectedness is disappearing in virtually every aspect of U.S. life. For example, there has been a significant decrease in face-to-face contact with neighbors and friends due to suburbanization, commuting, electronic entertainment, time and money pressures and other variables created by governmental-corporate policies. And union activities and other formal or informal ways that people give each other the support necessary to resist oppression have also decreased.

We are also broken by a corporate-government partnership that has rendered most of us out of control when it comes to the basic necessities of life, including our food supply. And we, like many other people in the world, are broken by socializing institutions that alienate us from our basic humanity. A few examples:

Schools and Universities: Do most schools teach young people to be action-oriented -- or to be passive? Do most schools teach young people that they can affect their surroundings -- or not to bother? Do schools provide examples of democratic institutions -- or examples of authoritarian ones?

A long list of school critics from Henry David Thoreau to John Dewey, John Holt, Paul Goodman, Jonathan Kozol, Alfie Kohn, Ivan Illich, and John Taylor Gatto have pointed out that a school is nothing less than a miniature society: what young people experience in schools is the chief means of creating our future society. Schools are routinely places where kids -- through fear -- learn to comply to authorities for whom they often have no respect, and to regurgitate material they often find meaningless. These are great ways of breaking someone.

Today, U.S. colleges and universities have increasingly become places where young people are merely acquiring degree credentials -- badges of compliance for corporate employers -- in exchange for learning to accept bureaucratic domination and enslaving debt.

Mental Health Institutions: Aldous Huxley predicted today's pharmaceutical societyl "[I]t seems to me perfectly in the cards," he said, "that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude."

Today, increasing numbers of people in the U.S. who do not comply with authority are being diagnosed with mental illnesses and medicated with psychiatric drugs that make them less pained about their boredom, resentments, and other negative emotions, thus rendering them more compliant and manageable.

Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is an increasingly popular diagnosis for children and teenagers. The official symptoms of ODD include, "often actively defies or refuses to comply with adult requests or rules," and "often argues with adults." An even more common reaction to oppressive authorities than the overt defiance of ODD is some type of passive defiance -- for example, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Studies show that virtually all children diagnosed with ADHD will pay attention to activities that they actually enjoy or that they have chosen. In other words, when ADHD-labeled kids are having a good time and in control, the "disease" goes away.

When human beings feel too terrified and broken to actively protest, they may stage a "passive-aggressive revolution" by simply getting depressed, staying drunk, and not doing anything -- this is one reason why the Soviet empire crumbled. However, the diseasing/medicalizing of rebellion and drug "treatments" have weakened the power of even this passive-aggressive revolution.

Television: In his book Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television (1978), Jerry Mander (after reviewing totalitarian critics such as George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Jacques Ellul, and Ivan Illich) compiled a list of the "Eight Ideal Conditions for the Flowering of Autocracy."

Mander claimed that television helps create all eight conditions for breaking a population. Television, he explained, (1) occupies people so that they don't know themselves -- and what a human being is; (2) separates people from one another; (3) creates sensory deprivation; (4) occupies the mind and fills the brain with prearranged experience and thought; (5) encourages drug use to dampen dissatisfaction (while TV itself produces a drug-like effect, this was compounded in 1997 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration relaxing the rules of prescription-drug advertising); (6) centralizes knowledge and information; (7) eliminates or "museumize" other cultures to eliminate comparisons; and (8) redefines happiness and the meaning of life.

Commericalism of Damn Near Everything: While spirituality, music, and cinema can be revolutionary forces, the gross commercialization of all of these has deadened their capacity to energize rebellion. So now, damn near everything � not just organized religion -- has become "opiates of the masses."

The primary societal role of U.S. citizens is no longer that of "citizen" but that of "consumer." While citizens know that buying and selling within community strengthens that community and that this strengthens democracy, consumers care only about the best deal. While citizens understand that dependency on an impersonal creditor is a kind of slavery, consumers get excited with credit cards that offer a temporarily low APR.

Consumerism breaks people by devaluing human connectedness, socializing self-absorption, obliterating self-reliance, alienating people from normal human emotional reactions, and by selling the idea that purchased products -- not themselves and their community -- are their salvation.

Can anything be done to turn this around?

When people get caught up in humiliating abuse syndromes, more truths about their oppressive humiliations don't set them free. What sets them free is morale.

What gives people morale? Encouragement. Small victories. Models of courageous behaviors. And anything that helps them break out of the vicious cycle of pain, shut down, immobilization, shame over immobilization, more pain, and more shut down.

The last people I would turn to for help in remobilizing a demoralized population are mental health professionals -- at least those who have not rebelled against their professional socialization. Much of the craft of relighting the pilot light requires talents that mental health professionals simply are not selected for nor are they trained in. Specifically, the talents required are a fearlessness around image, spontaneity, and definitely anti-authoritarianism. But these are not the traits that medical schools or graduate schools select for or encourage.

Mental health professionals' focus on symptoms and feelings often create patients who take themselves and their moods far too seriously. In contrast, people talented in the craft of maintaining morale resist this kind of self-absorption. For example, in the question-and-answer session that followed a Noam Chomsky talk (reported in Understanding Power: The Indispensable Chomsky, 2002), a somewhat demoralized man in the audience asked Chomsky if he too ever went through a phase of hopelessness. Chomsky responded, "Yeah, every evening . . ."

If you want to feel hopeless, there are a lot of things you could feel hopeless about. If you want to sort of work out objectively what's the chance that the human species will survive for another century, probably not very high. But I mean, what's the point? . . . First of all, those predictions don't mean anything -- they're more just a reflection of your mood or your personality than anything else. And if you act on that assumption, then you're guaranteeing that'll happen. If you act on the assumption that things can change, well, maybe they will. Okay, the only rational choice, given those alternatives, is to forget pessimism."

A major component of the craft of maintaining morale is not taking the advertised reality too seriously. In the early 1960s, when the overwhelming majority in the U.S. supported military intervention in Vietnam, Chomsky was one of a minority of U.S. citizens actively opposing it. Looking back at this era, Chomsky reflected, "When I got involved in the anti-Vietnam War movement, it seemed to me impossible that we would ever have any effect. . . So looking back, I think my evaluation of the 'hope' was much too pessimistic: it was based on a complete misunderstanding. I was sort of believing what I read."

An elitist assumption is that people don't change because they are either ignorant of their problems or ignorant of solutions. Elitist "helpers" think they have done something useful by informing overweight people that they are obese and that they must reduce their caloric intake and increase exercise. An elitist who has never been broken by his or her circumstances does not know that people who have become demoralized do not need analyses and pontifications. Rather the immobilized need a shot of morale.

Dear Gaza Freedom March Solidarity Action Organizer,

Earlier this year, thousands of people from across the globe joined together
with a common purpose: to break the siege on Gaza.

The slideshow <http://www.flickr.com/groups/gazafreedommarch/pool/)> and
report
backs <http://gazafreedommarch.org/userdata_display.php?modin=123> are just
a sampling of the people uniting in a global call for Gaza.

December 27th through January 1st was the international week of action with
more than a hundred events taking place across the world in Afghanistan,
Australia, Belgium, Canada, Italy, France, Spain, United Kingdom, Ireland,
Spain, Poland, South Korea, South Africa, Palestine, Netherlands, Germany,
Switzerland, Jordan, Israel and on!

Now the Gaza Freedom March has come and gone, but this is not over: *2010
will be a crucial year for the growth of the movement. *

*Please join us!*

    - *Lawsuit Against President Mubarak, Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif and
    Ministers of the Interior and Foreign Affair**s. *

During their stay in Cairo, members of the Gaza Freedom March connected with
Egyptian lawyers and activists who are protesting the underground wall Egypt
is building, with U.S. help, to close the tunnels along the Rafah border
that are the commercial lifeline for people living in Gaza. They held a
rally outside the courthouse where a lawsuit against the government was
being filed by renowned Egyptian attorney Ibrahim Yousri. The lawsuit says
that the Egyptian government is collaborating with Israel and the United
States to impose an absolute embargo on Gaza by building this underground
wall. The wall, it alleges, is in violation of international and Egyptian
law, including the 1907 Hague Rules and the Fourth Geneva Convention of
1949, because it will deprive the people of Gaza of food, water and
medicine, the right of refuge and freedom of movement. The wall also
violates the Egyptian commitment to Arab unity. The lawyer asked
  international delegates to sign on to the lawsuit, so many of them
scrambled through the web of the Egyptian bureaucracy to become temporary
residents so that they would have standing as plainiffs. In total 250
Egyptian and foreign activists, jurists and parliamentarians filed the
lawsuit against President Mubarak, Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif and Ministers
of the Interior and Foreign Affairs.

Future information about the lawsuit will be posted at
www.gazafreedommarch.org

*Thanks for being a part of this important global movement for change!*

Subject: MON: Meal Limit Meeting

mark1343@...

This coming Monday, Jan 25, at 6pm the City Commission is scheduled to take up
the limits on food distribution by places of religious assembly, as well as the
limits that apply to their provision of shelter.  Note: this is a special
meeting & this is the only agenda item so you won't have to wait all night.

Under the Code as it now stands, churches cannot feed more than 20 needy people,
even if they are located downtown or in other business districts.

Under the Code as it now stands, churches cannot feed any needy people if they
are located within 2000 feet of UF, or within a quarter mile of any other church
that feeds the needy.

Like the 130-meal limit that applies to St Francis House, these restrictions on
feeding the needy are unreasonable, discriminatory and oppressive -- no
restaurant or wedding reception has to comply with such limits.  Identical
restrictions have been struck down in other cities for infringing the free
exercise of religion, exposing taxpayers to damages and legal fees of $100,000
and more.  To tell a church that it cannot minister to the poor on its own
property and using its own resources is outrageous.  The limits should be
repealed.

Please attend the meeting if you can -- and email the Commission at
citycomm@... -- and urge the Commission to REPEAL these limits
and LET EVERY HUNGRY PERSON BE FED.

Please forward this message as you see fit.

Just to share a bit more about this. Four young people are walking from Miami
to Washington, DC to bring attention to issue of deportations of those who have
family--spouses & children--who are American citizens. They are asking that we
stop breaking up families. At the same time about 30 folks are fasting, since
Jan 1,  in Miami in solidarity & many have had to be hospitalized. So come to
this Thurs event to learn more about it! Or see website noted below.

Hello, Activists of Alachua County!

Radical Rush is upon us, with the semester in full-swing and volunteering
opportunities aplenty. The Civic Media Center will host RadRush on the Plaza
of the Americas Wed-Fri, February 17, 18, and 19 from 11am to 2pm.

RadRush is an organizational fair for the radical, progressive, alternative
and/or off-campus groups of Gainesville (this means you!). Anyone interested
in learning about or becoming a more active member in the community has the
opportunity to talk with you and your group members about your organization.
This is a prime opportunity to recruit more members and to get Gators off
campus to really experience Gainesville and make a difference.

I would also like to put a special emphasis on inter-group networking.
RadRush allows us to take some time to really get to know our brother-sister
groups and see what we can do to help each other accomplish our goals.

There will be a meeting at the CMC on Wednesday, February 10th at
7:00pm. PLEASE send a group representative (everyone welcome)! We will be
answering any questions and planning for a social/music show for
Friday, Feb 19th.

   RadRush checklist:
   -Volunteers to table each day from 11am-2pm (set-up at 10:30am)
   -RSVP, a high-quality digital copy of your logo and your group contact
   information
   -$20 participation fee per group
   -The CMC will provide chairs, but have a limited amount of tables so
   if you can bring your own we will transport it each day.  You can drop
   off your table at the CMC before Wednesday the 17th.

Please RSVP by responding to this email and sending your $20 group
participation fee to the CMC. Once we receive your payment, you will be a
confirmed participant. Cash/check accepted. Please make checks payable to
Civic Media Center.

If you absolutely cannot get a table and chairs, please email me ASAP and
we'll see what we can do. If your group has any extra tables, please let me
know! Let's help each other out. They will be stored on the plaza through
Friday. If we are transporting your tables/chairs, please pick them up
Saturday, Feb 20, between 2pm-6pm at the CMC.

We need a high-quality digital copy of your logo for our Radical Rush
Organizational Guide -- a quick reference for groups, volunteers and the
uninitiated alike -- with updated contact information for your group.

If you have any questions, please respond to this email. I hope to be
hearing from y'all soon!

Peace and revolution,

Not Teabaggers
VIGILS AGAINST WAR FUNDING SPREAD ACROSS NATION

<http://tinyurl.com/brownbagvigil>

Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) organized "brownbag" lunch
vigils against war funding at noon on Wednesday, January 20th, at the
district offices of 22 members of the U.S. House of Representatives.

On February 17th, PDA will be joined by CODEPINK, AfterDowningStreet,
Democrats.com, the California Nurses Assn./National Nurses United, and
United for Peace and Justice in holding brownbag vigils outside (or
inside) at least 36 congress members' offices.

Brownbaggers are demanding commitments to vote against more money for
war. Slogans on their posters include: "Healthcare not Warfare,"
"Corporations out of Politics," "Bailout Main Street not Wall Street,"
and "Brownbaggers not Teabaggers".

Vigils have been planned in the following districts: AZ-5, CA-6, CA-9,
CA-10, CA-18, CA-22, CA-23, CA-40, CA-42, CA-45, CA-46, CA-48, CA-50,
CA-53, FL-9, FL-10, FL-17, ID-01, IN-9, MA-1, MA-2, MA-3, MA-10, MI-9,
NY-18, NY-28, OH-13, OH-17, PA-02, PA-7, PA-15, WA-2, WA-3, WA-6,
WI-3, WI-7. These are almost all at noon on Wednesday the 17th, but a
few are at odd times, so check the details: http://tr.im/NsUa

Get involved here and start a vigil in a new district:
http://tinyurl.com/brownbagvigil

What We Want:

Brownbaggers are asking members of the House to publicly commit to
voting No on any bills that fund wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan,
or Yemen, and to publicly urge their colleagues and the House
leadership to make the same commitment. As lesser steps in the same
direction, PDA is encouraging congress members to cosponsor HR 2454,
calling for an exit strategy from Afghanistan, and HR 3699,
prohibiting any increase in the number of U.S. Armed Forces in
Afghanistan. Congress members' commitments are tracked at
http://defundwar.org

"We have to choose between jobs and wars," said PDA's national
director Tim Carpenter. "The American people are on one side, but our
so-called representatives in Congress are on the other. The Supreme
Court is busy increasing corporate control of our elected officials.
We need to be busy enforcing the people's control before it is too
late."

"Without wasteful war and military spending," said PDA's deputy
director Laura Bonham, "we could have healthcare, jobs, housing,
education, retirement security, environmental sustainability,
diplomacy and foreign aid. No longer will we take seriously anyone's
claim to support these things while voting to fund more war."
