Call for a new category
#1
Something like: The Visionaries and Pathbreakers - the Philosophers, Historians, Analysts, Writers, Researchers who have been able to see throught the fog of the class wars and into the darkness of Deep Political events over time. [not the long title - just the concept - call it what you like].

Where else to put info on, for example:
Mother Jones
Martin Luther King [not his assassination]
Dubois
John Judge
Mae Brussell
the better assassination and DP researchers - especially the early ones and those now departed!
et. al....we need to honor and let those who don't know about them, know about them.

my list is not meant to list those at the top of my list...just examples. There are hundreds. Thosands. I wanted to post something about Ivan van Sertima and his book 'They Came Before Columbus' and realized there is no real appropriate place.
"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws. - Mayer Rothschild
"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience! People are obedient in the face of poverty, starvation, stupidity, war, and cruelty. Our problem is that grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem!" - Howard Zinn
"If there is no struggle there is no progress. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and never will" - Frederick Douglass

I'd be inclined to put them in the Players, Organisations and Events of DP. For me they are part of the audience, observers,, critics if you will on the events and actors there in. I am totally for their inclusion as they have played a huge role in helping understand these events and a biographical synopsis would be fine in the players section. As for their work, like a book or movie, it can be put in the Book or Video section and their work discussed.

I'd be interested in any thoughts on this.
"The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it." Karl Marx

"He would, wouldn't he?" Mandy Rice-Davies. When asked in court whether she knew that Lord Astor had denied having sex with her.

“I think it would be a good idea” Ghandi, when asked about Western Civilisation.

I agree that the existing folder "Players, organisations, and events of deep politics" is the appropriate place for the kinds of posts Peter is describing. Can you live with that Peter?
