Silence is betrayal (MLK anti-war speech)

If you can do nothing else - SPEAK OUT! Tell all who'll listen, tell those who will not. Speak out against that which you find morally reprehensible. Speak out against corruption, speak out against repression, speak out against totalitarianism. Silence is not golden, it is cowardly. People will find you annoying. People dislike you. People will shun you. It is a small price to pay.

Only Jews and those who are useful to them are allowed to live and thrive... oops, did I say thrive? I just meant live.

UK POLICE TASER AND BEAT MAN ON LIVE TV

Tasered and then, while obviously incapacitated from that, beaten? Obviously the guy is out of control, and tasing may have been called for, but why the punches to the head?

Deaf Man Tased & Pepper Sprayed for using the Bathroom

Again, police are just another gang - shoot first, ask questions later. There was no reason to pepper spray when for all they knew, the person in the bathroom was ill unto death, having an asthma attack, heart attack, stroke, or for some other reason (LIKE MAYBE HE WAS DEAF!
Avoid the police whenever possible. They are not your friend, they are dangerous!

Welcome

Welcome to The Last Resort.

The name has two meanings. I began by posting articles I found on the web to my social networking page and forwarding those articles to freinds and family. I felt that they only needed to be educated and informed of needless violence and injustice in the world, and they'd rally against it. Instead, I found that not only did many not want to hear about it, they actively supported it! I was roundly rebuked for what I was trying to disseminate so, as a 'Last Resort', I started this blog. 'The Last Resort' also refers to a quote from Isaac Asimov, to wit: "Violence is the last resort of the incompetent" - Violence sometimes does become necessary, but there are usually so many options to violence, so many steps before it becomes necessary when it can be avoided entirely. This site is dedicated to that.

While it is anti-Zionist, it is not anti-semetic. I hold no ill toward Jews as a people, or Judaism as a religion or a culture indeed, I find it rich and fascinating. But when a government acts in a racist fashion, is needs to be held accountable for it's actions regardless of it's name.
