"Changing the World or Settling for the Lesser of Two Evils - If You Settle for the Lesser Evil It's Still Evil!"

Ray McGovern (author/activist); Dennis Trainor, Jr. (filmmaker); Bob Avakian (Chairman, Revolutionary Communist Party)

McGovern talks about his article "The Silence of the Drones" and the immorality and criminal nature of both the US drone warfare in Pakistan and elsewhere as well the implied complicity in the lack of mass opposition to this drone warfare.

Drill Baby Drill Part Two
by Nick Cooper

Llegó el día.

Risa con tos
momentos de reflexión
organizo mis ideas
después de la indignación
ya no me callo
mi lengua suelte el coraje
no quiero lana
no me presto a los chantajes
te invito hermano a que me tomes la mano
y todos juntos codo a codo
derribemos al tirano
ese tirano que nos quiere poner la bota en el cuello
nos quiere ver ignorantes y con miedo.

Lego el día, llego el día alcemos la voz
estudiantes en rebeldía somos 132
llego el día, llego el día alcemos la voz
mexicanos en rebeldía somos 132.
