“Ninety-three years old. The last leg of my journey. The end is in sight. I am lucky to be able to seize the time I have left to reflect on my lifelong commitment to politics: the Resistance and the program designed sixty-six years ago by the National Council of the Resistance.” |

TIME FOR OUTRAGE<Click
By Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers Global Research, March 04, 2013 Its Our economy
"... “A Time for Outrage!”(“Indignez-vous!”)
a 35 page book written by Stephane Hessel in 2010 which sold 3 million
copies in 30 languages and inspired protests like “Occupy” in the United
States and The Indignados in Spain. Hassel died this week at the age of 95 .. Each week we see reasons for outrage and, thankfully, more and more people are joining the culture of resistance .. Tuesday, the judge in the Bradley Manning case turned more than 1,000
days in prison, one-third of it in tortuous conditions in Kuwait and
Quantico, into 90 days. The judge allowed excuses for the delays based
on the complexity of the case and the secret documents involved so that
it fell just under the 120 statutory limit for a speedy trial. Judge
Denise Lind does not publish her opinions, (also outrageous) but read
for two hours in court, making it almost impossible to analyze the basis
of her making 1,000 = 90 .. People are outraged at the treatment of Manning and in more than 70 cities, people protested.
“Indignez-Vous!”..
NEW YORK TIMES EUROPE STEPHANE HESSELL AUTHOR<Click ~Stéphane Hessel, a hero of the French Resistance who, more than 60 years later as a nonagenarian, marshaled the same defiant spirit in a manifesto that inspired social protesters in Europe and the United States and became an international publishing phenomenon, died on Tuesday in Paris. He was 95 .. It became a popular stocking-stuffer gift at Christmas from left-leaning parents to their children, and it was taken up as a rallying cry by protesters across Europe responding to the economic crisis. Young Spanish activists called themselves “indignados.”
