How I spent 32 years in prison | George Martorano | TEDxPenn
George Martorano is a self-taught prolific writer, poet, educator, and mentor.

Released in October 2015 under the Department of Justice’s Compassionate Release program, George is the longest incarcerated non-violent offender. While in prison, he taught inmates yoga, prevented the hijacking of an aircraft by inmates, started a creative writing course, authored 31 books, pioneered a prison course called Release Preparation: Starting a Business for Under $1,000, among others.

In the modern age of democracy and volunteer armies, a pretense for war is required to rally the nation around the flag and motivate the public to fight. That is why every major conflict is now accompanied by its own particular bodyguard of lies. From false flag attacks to dehumanization of the "enemy," here are all the examples you'll need to help debunk a century of war lies.
Question: “I am currently going through a divorce with my wife of two years. She was a single mom of 2 (both from different fathers) when I met her. We have a child together who is now 1 1/2 years old. The most imminent reason for the divorce is that I found out 2 months ago that she was a week into carrying another man's child. As you can probably imagine, my biggest concern now is how this is going to affect our son. I want to be able to raise him as best I can despite the fact that his mother and I will be separated. I don't have any support from immediate family and I doubt I will which is why I haven't even explained to them what's going on. I am willing to do whatever it takes and am curious to hear your input on what that might be?”

Man Stabbed With a Sword! Extraordinary footage of Mirin Dajo being stabbed right through his body with a sword. He became famous in the 1940s for piercing his body with swords and all other kinds of objects. Apparently he did it without injury and he astounded the medics at the time. This film may make you feel queasy!
