Flashpoint: The critical stage in some process, event, or situation at which action, change, or violence occurs. This blog contains the thoughts, meanderings, ponderings, poetry and prose from a contrarian and his influences. A place to challenge, dispute, and hopefully discredit the lies of Global Capitalism, Social Conservatism, the MSM, the MIC and just about anything else that reeks of fascism, oligarchy, plutocracy, bigotry, injustice and hate.

Matthew Gonzales, Nader, Sanders and Kucinich need to run with Ron Paul on an anti Empire, anti greed and graft, and anti NAFTA platform. We can get back to harking to parochial left right ideologies after this neoliberal/neoconservative government has been swept from office; our defense budget has been cut to defensive posture size, banksters have been prosecuted and their personal fiefdoms nationalized, and our trade regime has been readjusted to reflect the interests of workers instead of the profit margins of corporate transnational monopolies.
The present, in the face of an assault by a rentier class, calls for populist unity. We can always part ways after the decks have been cleared and the ship righted.

unless we, in the contrarian community, begin to support and promote one another's sites, the establishment's fluffers will lock us out from access to the wider public, at which point we'll just be howling in the wilderness...
