Escape from the American Cage

Pages : 440
Book Description
Never doubted, We the People love our country, but are we ready to love its people too? Are we ready to write a New Declaration based on Truth, Dignity, and Love? Are we ready to escape from the American Cage and fly away to our new home - new America? This book is about how to escape from our American Cage and regain our lost independence by living in accordance with "The New Declaration." It is about how to regain not only our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness but also find purpose, attain dignity, build meaningful relationships and find love. It is a dream about human-centered capitalism and democracy in a united, prosperous, and flourishing society. On the surface, indeed, the United States of America looks like a great nation and country, the biggest world power, the most prosperous economy ever created, the best democracy, the land of unlimited possibilities for everyone who wants to make their American dreams come true, and an oasis of freedom and respect for life and happiness. In Escape from the American Cage, author Konrad Milewski argues that this vision belies the fact that America is only a dreamland for a small percentage of its population. The majority of Americans feel tired, used, betrayed, abandoned, unsafe, and hopeless. They hide frustrations that can easily turn into anger and aggression. The U.S. is performing poorly and substantially below most comparably wealthy nations when it comes to happiness. America is a violent country. The rate of murder by firearm is the highest in the developed world. America experiences huge socioeconomic inequality and injustice. Millions of Americans live in poverty, without healthcare, and without education. America has the world's highest rates of substance abuse. About 35% of adult Americans are chronically lonely. Americans are divided. The system that has been created is clearly preventing people from flourishing. And paradoxically, the point is not that the economic system or the justice system are seriously broken. It works exactly the way it was designed to work. This book is an invitation to build a safe, prosperous, united and happy society, the United Societies of America - the best human-centered economy and superpower on earth. "An incredible book about an incredible nation. It seeks out the deepest truths, challenges the most difficult problems, offers long-awaited solutions as well as faith, hope and love. It is about the greatest escape in human history from the most precious, most guarded, and strongest golden cage ever made - The American Cage." The prize is great and monumental. Your independence and our independence. Your happiness and our happiness! Support the movement: The United Societies of America, U*S*A www.unitedsocietiesofamerica.org www.americancage.org

Rattling the Cage
Author: Brent Meersman
Publisher: Pan Macmillan South africa
ISBN: 1770107738
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Most South Africans have strong views on our past and present, often based on how we have been personally affected by history, and an understanding of the challenges that face us as a country. But how well-examined and solid are these positions? Have your views been properly thought through? Are you correctly informed? Do you even have the facts straight? Rattling the Cage takes the reader on an informed tour of the South African reality: from the highs and lows, the successes and failures, FW de Klerk’s gaffes to Fees Must Fall, the Oscar Pistorius trial, the 2010 FIFA World Cup, triple BEE, global warming, the Covid-19 pandemic, gay rights in Africa, and veganism. Among the questions Meersman asks are: Do South Africans still believe in their Constitution and democracy? Why do so many young South Africans say Nelson Mandela was a sell-out and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was a dismal failure? Is outlawing hate speech and criminalising racist behaviour really a good idea? Why do communities still burn down their schools? How did the Marikana massacre happen in the democratic era? Why are African immigrants increasingly unwelcome in South Africa? Can our media be trusted to tell us the truth? And how do we embrace climate change? History, big-picture philosophy, grassroots journalism and a novelist’s eye – animated by a genuine sense of moral indignation at the current state of the nation – come together in these essays to provide critical perspectives on and insights into South Africa’s recent past and current political, economic and social undercurrents. No matter what your views are, you are sure to find your understanding of the country deepened, challenged and sometimes changed.

Silence
Author: John Cage
Publisher: Wesleyan University Press
ISBN: 0819570648
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
John Cage is the outstanding composer of avant-garde music today. The Saturday Review said of him: "Cage possesses one of the rarest qualities of the true creator- that of an original mind- and whether that originality pleases, irritates, amuses or outrages is irrelevant." "He refuses to sermonize or pontificate. What John Cage offers is more refreshing, more spirited, much more fun-a kind of carefree skinny-dipping in the infinite. It's what's happening now." –The American Record Guide "There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot. Sounds occur whether intended or not; the psychological turning in direction of those not intended seems at first to be a giving up of everything that belongs to humanity. But one must see that humanity and nature, not separate, are in this world together, that nothing was lost when everything was given away."

The Lizard Cage
Author: Karen Connelly
Publisher: Vintage Canada
ISBN: 0307375668
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
Set during Burma's military dictatorship of the mid—1990s, Karen Connelly’s exquisitely written and harshly realistic debut novel is a hymn to human resilience and love. In the sealed-off world of a vast Burmese prison known as the cage, Teza languishes in solitary confinement seven years into a twenty-year sentence. Arrested in 1988 for his involvement in mass protests, he is the nation’s most celebrated songwriter whose resonant words and powerful voice pose an ongoing threat to the state. Forced to catch lizards to supplement his meager rations, Teza finds emotional and spiritual sustenance through memories and Buddhist meditation. The tiniest creatures and things–a burrowing ant, a copper-coloured spider, a fragment of newspaper within a cheroot filter–help to connect him to life beyond the prison walls. Even in isolation, Teza has a profound influence on the people around him. His integrity and humour inspire Chit Naing, the senior jailer, to find the courage to follow his conscience despite the serious risks involved, while Teza’s very existence challenges the brutal authority of the junior jailer, perversely nicknamed Handsome. Sein Yun, a gem smuggler and prison fixer, is his most steady human contact, who finds delight in taking advantage of Teza by cleverly tempting him into Handsome's web with the most dangerous contraband of all: pen and paper. Lastly, there's Little Brother, an orphan raised in the jail, imprisoned by his own deprivation. Making his home in a tiny, corrugated-metal shack, Little Brother stays alive by killing rats and selling them to the inmates. As the political prisoner and the young boy forge a cautious friendship, we learn that both are prisoners of different orders; only one of them dreams of escape and only one of them achieves it. Barely able to speak, losing the battle of the flesh but winning the battle of the spirit, Teza knows he has the power to transfigure one small life, and to send a message of hope and resistance out of the cage. Shortlisted for both the Kiriyama Prize for Fiction and the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, The Lizard Cage has received rave reviews nationally and internationally.
