Chris Hedges ~ The Crucifixion of Julian Assange

https://chrishedges.substack.com/p/the-crucifixion-of-julian-assange

'The powerful and the rich make war on the #prophet. They slander and insult the prophet. They question the prophet’s sanity and motives. They make it hard for the prophet to survive removing the prophet’s meager source of income. They punish and marginalize those who stand with the prophet. They silence the prophet’s voice, through #censorship, #imprisonment and often #murder. The list of martyred prophets is long: Socrates, Joan of Arc, Isaac Babel, Federico García Lorca, Miklós Radnóti, Irène Némirovsky, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr, Victor Jara, Ken Saro-Wiwa.

#Dhamek #Stupa which is also spelled as Dhamekh and Dhamekha is one of the most famous and #Buddhist #stupas located in #Sarnath near #Varanasi in #UttarPradesh, #India. Originally built in 249 BCE during the reign of king Ashoka of the Maurya Dynasty, this massive and prominent structure has over time gone through several expansions and additions. This solid cylindrical shaped Stupa made of red bricks and stone in its present position stands at a height of 43.6 m with a diameter of 28 m. The significance of this sacred place is that it marks the spot where Lord #Buddha #preached the #first #sermon to His five disciples after attaining #enlightenment in #BodhGaya. #Buddhist pilgrims from around the world visit Sarnath to circumambulate the holy Stupa and worship Lord Buddha. National and international tourists also flock at Sarnath to get a glimpse of Buddhist #architecture and #culture at this significant centre of #Buddhism.

MLK's Last Sermon - "The Problem of Poverty"

https://rumble.com/vso89s-mlks-last-sermon.html

"There must be something positive and massive in order to get rid of all the effects of racism and the tragedies of racial injustice. But there is another thing closely related to racism that I would like to mention as another challenge. We are challenged to rid our nation and the world of poverty. Like a monstrous octopus, poverty spreads its nagging prehensile tentacles into hamlets and villages all over our world.

How can one avoid being depressed when he sees with his own eyes evidences of millions of people going to bed hungry at night? How can one avoid being depressed when he sees with his own eyes God's children sleeping on the sidewalks at night? …Maybe we spend far too much of our national budget establishing military bases around the world rather than bases of genuine concern and understanding.

And I must confess that in some situations I have literally found myself crying…
I was in Newark and Harlem just this week…This welfare mother…She pointed out the walls with all the ceiling falling through. She showed me the holes where the rats came in. She said night after night we have to stay awake to keep the rats and roaches from getting to the children…

This can happen to America…this is America's opportunity to help bridge the gulf between the haves and the have-nots. The question is whether America will do it. There is nothing new about poverty. What is new is that we now have the techniques and the resources to get rid of poverty. The real question is whether we have the will."

#Rückhaltlos, #Aufklärung, #Einzeltäter …

Die #Qulitätsmedien müssen sich dieser #Tage aber auch nichts #Neues mehr einfallen lassen. Mal wieder brabbeln alle den selben #Sermon und am #Schluss wird es im #Sande verlaufen und nichts passiert!
