About Me

MY BLOG: truthydissent.wordpress.com
I am an anti-imperialist, radical media activist/journalist, improv comedian and emcee. I practice improvisation as a lifestyle. I ask questions and formulate opinions, trying to think for myself. I like tolerant people. I have wacky habits. I like reading and talking, but love writing and performing. I've been accused of being a smart-ass, bullshitter and narc. I'm sarcastic and cynical sometimes...but I've also got a life just like you! "My whole life is real." ~Mos Def
But it's not about me, myspacers. It's about us, and we got issues.

Harold Pinter, 1958 Nobel Lecture: 'Art, Truth & Politics'

"Political language, as used by politicians, does not venture into any of this territory since the majority of politicians, on the evidence available to us, are interested not in truth but in power and in the maintenance of that power. To maintain that power it is essential that people remain in ignorance, that they live in ignorance of the truth, even the truth of their own lives. What surrounds us therefore is a vast tapestry of lies, upon which we feed."..
