waking in time?

wow, C&L really scored finding this video:



From
Children of the Future
by Wilhelm Reich 1928-1951

...It is impossible to have healthy children growing up in a sick environment. It means, furthermore, that under no circumstances can we expect to jump suddenly from a sick past into a healthy future. It will take several generations of newborn infants growing up under ever-widening horizon of knowledge of the child's true nature before the first signs of the Children of the Future begin to appear.

It is not the inborn nature of the child that constitutes the difficulty. The trouble lies in the thinking and acting of the majority of educators, parents, and physicians. It lies in the maze of wrong opinions which have nothing to do with the child. It lies in the fact that, at present, social interest, as represented by the newspapers, magazines, ... etc., with very few exceptions, is completely centered on diplomatic maneuvering and not on our single most important hope: the child.

We have learned that instead of a jump into the realm of the Children of the Future, we can hope for no more than a steady advance, in which the healthy new overlaps the sick old structure, with the new slowly outgrowing the old."

from the Baltimore Sun:

FBI: No delay in hate-crimes data to wait out protest
When the Federal Bureau of Investigation issued its hate-crimes report this morning, a document which indicated a nearly eight percent increase in 2006 in such crimes compared with the year before, more than a few suspicions were aroused.

Why did the agency wait until the Monday morning of Thanksgiving week to issue the report and not do it last week when Congress was still in town, as were thousands of mostly African American marchers led by Rev. Al Sharpton marched around the Justice Department to demand more federal action against hate crimes?

Was the FBI trying to keep from further riling up the demonstrators who visited Washington on Friday to express their anger at the Jena 6 and other racial incidents?

Absolutely not, said FBI spokesman John Miller."

But just as psychologists have been implicated in human rights abuse by outright shilling for the government and doing things like driving BSCT Teams in interrogations and then neglect to include their own sins in the new DSM-V -- The FBI is itself a source and engine and vector of strife and hate, itself driving us headlong right towards the end-of-the-world. Physician heal thyself? The FBI cannot even seem to comprehend its own role in fanning hate and intolerance and in rapidly destroying mankind's fragile future. The FBI's own lead role is hardly included within its own report. Go figure.
