And here's the message I sent you on Fbook in reply to your text about Chomsky and asking for help:
Sorry, I couldn't reply to your message last night. I ran out of Pulsa.
Anyway, unfortunately I think Chomsky and Herman's Manufacturing Consent was pretty much spot on. The trick is, to keep your fire burning, to keep on fighting and struggling for those who have no voice. Eventually, someone will take notice. At least that's what drives me to do me job day-to-day.
Sometimes all seems hopeless and giving in seems like it would provide relief. But I've seen you work and with the people, and I know you are not about to do that, because to do that would be to deny who you are and be lost.
I've so far got two things published about Mesuji. One was in the Globe, and another is coming out in an international magazine that is read my many influential people around the world. It will be in the New Internationalist magazine (www.newint.org) this week. I have tried to get the BBC, Guardian newspaper, and the Independent newspaper in the UK to print something from me about it. I even offered it for free! But so far none of my editors have responded. If I don't hear back soon I will follow up with emails and phone calls. Then it's up to them.
Keep on trucking, sister!
Here;s a poem, and a song, that have inspired me in times of trouble.
SECRET MUSIC By Siegfried Sassoon
I keep such music in my brain
No din this side of death can quell;
Glory exulting over pain,
And beauty, garlanded in hell.
My dreaming spirit will not heed
The roar of guns that would destroy
My life that on the gloom can read
Proud-surging melodies of joy.
To the world's end I went, and found
Death in his carnival of glare;
But in my torment I was crowned,
And music dawned above despair.
A Change Gonna Come By Sam Cooke
