Report-Back From the BAsics Bus Tour; the Illuminati Is a Myth Discussion

We recommend - Received in an email:   We Say No  More!    Report-back  from the BAsics  Bus Tour, with Michael Slate,  Clyde Young, and other bus tour volunteers Wednesday, June 20th 7 p.m. KAOS Network, 4343 Leimert Blvd. (near Crenshaw & 43rd in L.A.) $5 donation requested at the door On Wednesday, June 20th, hear from revolutionary journalist and KPFK  radio host Michael Slate*, communist and ex-prisoner Clyde Young, and  other L.A. volunteers who recently returned from the BAsics Bus Tour.  The BAsics Bus Tour kicked off in Atlanta in mid-May, traveling through  parts of the South and into Sanford, Florida, the city where Trayvon  Martin was murdered, bringing the work and vision of Bob Avakian  and his book BAsics everywhere it went. "No more generations of our youth, here and all around the world,  whose life is over, whose fate has been sealed, who have been  condemned to an early death or a life of misery and brutality, whom  the system has destined for oppression and oblivion even before  they are born. I say no more of that."  Bob Avakian, Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, BAsics 1:13 The BAsics Bus Tour brought this quote everywhere it stopped, and  hundreds of people along the route and all over the country signed  English and Spanish banners of this quote, standing with the people  of Sanford. A collage of pictures of these signings was passed out in  Sanford, where the bus tour volunteers marched through town and  together with people there spoke out powerfully in front of the Sanford  police station. The BAsics Bus Tour went into some of the most downpressed  neighborhoods in Georgia and Florida where there is deep outrage   and hurt and anger that a generation of Black youth is being treated  as "a generation of suspects." The bus tour volunteers introduced  people to the book BAsics and the work and vision of Bob Avakian,  the leader who has opened up the pathway of revolution to end these  outrages and the whole system that is causing them. And everywhere  the bus tour went it brought people into the movement for revolution. On June 20th hear about what happened on this bus tour, the voices  of the people who encountered this tour, what was accomplished  through it, and the lessons for moving forward to build the movement  for revolution. And be part of taking this experience higher: supporting,  donating, and volunteering for the next leg of the BAsics Bus Tour  taking off in July. For more info, contact the BA Everywhere campaign at 213.304.9864.  Follow the tour at: basicsbustour.tumblr.com.

And check out this letter from a prisoner in the Deep South about  this "Must-Have Book" here.     Free of charge;  All donations welcome Join in this important  discussion! "Why do we live in such a fucked-up  world? Why are decisions so clearly  out of the hands of the masses of  people? And why do these decisions  always run so sharply against the interests of these masses? Why do a  few people control enormous amounts of wealth... while many more  swim frantically to keep their heads above water... and the vast majority  are ground down and chained to a life of misery, no matter what they do?  And why are we lied to about all this? People seek answers to these questions. Urgently. One of the biggest,  most widespread answers out there pins all this on a shadowy group  called the "Illuminati." This small but virtually all-powerful group, we  are told, is bent on world domination. They have supposedly manipulated  and rigged every war, every revolution, every economic or political crisis  in accord with a master plan for world domination. There are 57 varieties  of this explanation to be found on the Internet, differing in this or that  detail and degree, but this is the basic framework you get from them all..."

Summer Campaign to Save Revolution Books!

Humanity Needs Revolution   Revolution Books Needs You NOW  SAVE REVOLUTION BOOKS  Ethan McCord talks  of Collateral Murder  at RBLA            Donate Today (via PayPal button on right)       Volunteer - Buy Books - Promote this bookstore       Help plan a major summer campaign to        save Revolution Books! FRIENDS:  You are needed to launch a major summer campaign to save  Revolution Books.  Bring your ideas, passion, creativity and  determination.  At stake: ensuring that Revolution Books  continues as the place where people can come from all over the world to find the books and the deep engagement with  each other about why the world is the way it is and the  possibility of a radically different way the world could be.  Revolution Books is a bookstore at the center of building a  movement for revolution.   RBLA booth at Occupy L.A. There is no other place, no other bookstore that fills this great  need.  We need you to help pull out all the stops to raise the  funds, bring more people into the store, get the store out into  the public square this summer.  Revolution Books is more  than a bookstore -- it is a cause and a movement. It needs  your generous financial donation now, and your help in  building a much larger base of support.   Fresh stirrings of struggle continue around the world and here  in the US at a moment of deepening economic and political crisis.  People need analyses of the depth of the problems and their  causes. They need a way out of the madness and horror.   Revolution Books is indispensable to opening up the process  of discovery about a future worth fighting for.   Revolution Books challenges conventional wisdom that this  capitalist system is the best humanity can do -- in the bookstore  and out in the world it brings to people the reality that there is a  new synthesis of communism brought forward by Bob Avakian,  which is a viable vision and strategy for a radically new, and much  better, society and world. At RB, people can get connected with  the leadership needed for the struggle toward that goal.   What is so critical for the future is that this possibility not be lost. Eric Drooker,  Illustrator  of Howl at RBLA  Throughout the summer, RB must be out and become known all over the city.  People need to be coming in large numbers into RB for provocative readings, forums, films, open mics  - and to  buy, read and discuss books! Everywhere and in many different   ways people contributing to RB so that the dream that so many  have of a far better world can take deeper root and flourish.   For the emancipation of humanity, Nicole Lee and the Staff of RB  * Donate! Become a sustaining Friend of RB !  * Volunteer with Revolution Books NOW to produce summer  promotional materials; plan amazing series of events; develop  on-line promotion; seed your neighborhood or school with RB  reading list and event flyers; join RB tabling all summer,  including at the June 30th Leimert Park Village Book Fair.  Now Available at Revolution Books: Thousands of palmcards (4"x 6") with the quote  from BAsics  1:13 on one side, and the front  cover of BAsics on the other -  are now available   in English and Spanish (see sample above).
