New York lawmakers
recently passed a bill that
requires the state to mandate DNA samples from
almost all criminals, including those convicted
of misdemeanors. The new law will become
effective in October 2012. Lawmakers are
bragging that it won’t be long before obtaining
a DNA sample from everyone who is arrested
will become as routine as fingerprinting.

In 1814 Francis Scott Key wrote the words to
the “Star Spangled Banner” after he witnessed the
bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British in
the war of 1812.
In 1861 Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote a fifth
stanza to the “Star Spangled Banner” in indignation at the start of the American Civil War.
In 1871 Eugene Pottier wrote the lyrics to “The
Internationale”, the music was written by Pierre
Degeyter. This song is sung worldwide on May
1, “Labor Day”, throughout the world in recognition of the need for workers to unite in solidarity
against tyranny.
On May 1st, 1886 30,000 workers struck in
Chicago based on a pamphlet that stated:
“One day of revolt – not rest! A day not ordained by the bragging spokesmen of institutions
holding the world of labor in bondage. A day on
which labor makes its own laws and has the power

In New Jersey, there’s pending legislation that will require even those convicted of
shoplifting or disorderly conduct to submit a
DNA sample. Lawmakers in Rhode Island are
considering legislation to collect DNA from
some arrestees before they’re convicted of
any crime!
While this is being done in the name of
protecting the innocent from violent criminals, the potential for abuse is enormous. Other than the usual complaint that the procedure
will be used for racial profiling, imagine what
it will be like for the data to be fed into National Security Agency supercomputers along
with your personal medical history as well as
that of all of your Facebook “friends”.
Is this the technological Mark of the Beast
that so-called “religious nuts” have been warning us about for decades? Is the “Anti-Christ”
actually a State Surveillance system? If so, it’s
closer than you think. In the decade following

“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they
will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible
struggle.”
—From “Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents”,
published 1770 by Edmund Burke, Anglo-Irish statesman, author, orator, and political theorist famous for his support for the
cause of the original American Revolutionaries, and for his later
opposition to the French Revolution.
“Hell is worth all that / Natural habitat / Just a rhyme
without a reason / Never-ending maze / Drift on numbered days / Now your life is out of season / I will
occupy!”
—“Master of Puppets”, by Hetfield, Ulrich, Burton,
Hammett; 1986.
“Resistance is dangerous
and unpredictable but for
those who realize the totality of defeat, resistance must be the only option conceivable. RIGHT NOW you have these alternatives: To
remain forever part of a sleeping world / To gradually
abandon the hopes and dreams of childhood / To be permanently addicted to the drug of the commonplace / Or,
to fight alongside us!”

Legalese Turns 100—Have You Read the Fine Print?
Everyone knows what the “fine print” in a legal document
is. It’s that tiny writing in a language we cannot possibly
understand. Shortly after the establishment of the Federal
Reserve Banking system in 1913, it was decided to adopt
something called the “British Aristocratic Registry” and
use it at every level of government. Otherwise known as
“Legalese”, it’s a juridical jargon designed to be difficult,
if not impossible, for the average person to understand. It
was part of a deliberate attempt to exclude the legally untrained and thus create a demand for lawyers and justify
their exorbitantly high fees. In pursuit of these goals Legalese employs confusingly long
sentences, complex vocabulary, high abstraction, and insensitivity to exploit the average
person’s need to understand a document, agreement or contract. The use of Legalese is
unlawful under the US Constitution, but that hasn’t stopped any judge from upholding its
use in the nearly 100 years since it was established.

to execute them.”
On May 4th, 1886 the Haymarket Square riot resulted in the torture
of thousands of participants (police
brutality) and the leaders of the riot,
George Engel, Albert Parsons, August
Spie and Adolf Fisher were tried, and
hung Nov. 11, 1886. Workers around
the world mourned and commemorate
May Day as a national holiday in many
nations; but not in the USA.
The lyrics of “The Internationale”
and “The Star Spangled Banner”
denote the values of nations. I have
selected the Billy Bragg (British musician) version of the Internationale
written in 2000 as the most meaningful of the three English versions.
The Internationale
Stand up, all victims of oppression
For the tyrants fear your might!
Don’t cling so hard to your
possessions, For you have nothing
if you have no rights! Let racist
ignorance be ended, For respect
makes the empires fall! Freedom is
merely privilege extended, Unless
enjoyed by one and all. So come
brothers and sisters For the struggle
carries on, The Internationale Unites
the world in song. So comrades, come
rally, For this is the time and place!
The international ideal, Unites the
human race.
The 1861 fifth stanza to the Star
Spangled banner stated:
“When our land is illumined with
liberty’s smile, If a foe from within
strikes a blow to its glory, Down,
down with the traitor that tries to defile

her story! By the millions unchained,
Who their birthright have gained We
will keep her bright blazon forever unstained; And the star spangled banner
in triumph shall wave, While the land
of the free is the home of the brave.”
People vs. things; solidarity vs.
militarism, these are the choices you
must make when judging the values of
nations and the need to triumph over tyrannical governments. Remember what
Mark Twain wrote: “Loyalty to country always; loyalty to government only
when it deserves.” Our military/corporate controlled government doesn’t deserve the loyalty of anyone.
The words of Oliver Wendell Holmes are my personal preference over
the “bombs bursting in air”!
I celebrated May 1, 2012 by singing
“The Internationale” with “The Solidarity Singers” (with raised clenched

Sheldon Adelson
Sheldon Adelson, the CEO of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation and one of the wealthiest men in the world, is an important financial backer of neo-conservative “pro-Israel”
groups in the United States and elsewhere in the world, as well as a prominent supporter
of key Likud Party officials. He has amassed his fortunes in the gambling industry by
building an unprecedented casino empire. Adelson is very important to the hawkish “Israel lobby”, and the neo-conservative Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) awarded
him the Theodor Herzl Gold Medallion in December 2009. The award is given to people
who make a “unique, lasting, and historic contribution to the cause of Zionism and the
Jewish people”. Adelson’s philanthropy is directed though the Adelson Family Foundation, which he created in January 2007. Among its grantees has been the Adelson
Institute for Strategic Studies, a project of the Shalem Center, a Likud Party-aligned
group based in Jerusalem that claims on its website to engage “in research, education,
and publications in areas that include Jewish moral and political thought, Zionist history
and ideas, Biblical archaeology, democratic theory and practice, strategic studies, and
economic and social policy”. As a backer of the neo-conservative think-tank Freedom’s
Watch, whose key leaders have included former Bush White House spokesman Ari
Fleischer and strip-mall magnate Melvin Sembler, Adelson brought widespread media
attention to his push for hawkish, Israel-centric US policies. Among Adelson’s recent
notable beneficiaries has been Newt Gingrich, former candidate for the 2012 Republican
presidential nomination.

the false flag event of Sept. 11, 2001,
the monitoring and tracking of people
has become commonplace, and huge
databases are being compiled on every
citizen. While UPC barcodes are now
as old school as vinyl records, the new
databases seem to integrate everything
from RFID/Microchip implants, Iris
Scans, Thermograms, and Smart Cards
along with your genetic code.
While the US House of Representatives Katie Sepich Enhanced DNA
Collection Act of 2010 is not yet federal
law, when it finally becomes one it will
allow for compiling national DNA databases taken from people arrested for
but not convicted of crimes. States will
receive massive federal funding to pay
for it.
Already, newborn babies in the
United States are routinely screened
for a panel of genetic diseases by taking their blood samples without parental consent. States mandate that newborns’ DNA samples be stored in state
labs for anywhere from three months
to indefinitely, depending on the state.
If you think this is entirely unconstitutional, you should be aware that
court after court has upheld that mandated DNA collection does not violate
anyone’s civil rights. There have been
numerous rulings where the court
has dismissed claims of violations
of Fourth, Fifth and Eighth Amendment rights! S
