NEGOTIATION IS OVER! Words Without Action are Meaningless!

THE NEGOTIATION IS OVER ALLIANCE

Camille Marino, Founder & Publisher. Negotiating with abusers is an exercise in futility and veganism is essential.  The only action that matters to the imprisoned is the one that imparts freedom.  It is a moral obligation to protect the innocent whenever we can — and direct action, sabotage, or subduing the violent with violence is a necessary  tactic.  Free speech needs to be pushed.  Oppression needs to be resisted. And activists need to engage.  Emotion and passion drive action, not sterile debate.   We need to tear down the hierarchical structures, including capitalism, which demand exploited classes.  There is no weaker segment of society than the nonhuman animals who’s voices have been silenced.  NIO promotes a Militant Abolitionist philosophy and seeks to address the scope of the issues that foster classism, racism, sexism, and speciesism.   We strive to build bridges between social movements and envision total liberation — for ALL animals and the earth.

Dr. Steven Best, Senior Editor of Total Liberation.  Associate professor of philosophy at UTEP, award-winning writer, noted speaker, public intellectual, and seasoned activist, Dr. Best engages the issues of the day such as animal rights, ecological crisis, biotechnology, liberation politics, terrorism, mass media, globalization, and capitalist domination. Best has published 10 books, over 100 articles and reviews, spoken in over a dozen countries, interviewed with media throughout the world, appeared in numerous documentaries, and was voted by VegNews as one of the nations “25 Most Fascinating Vegetarians.” He has come under fire for his uncompromising advocacy of “total liberation” (humans, animals, and the earth) and has been banned from the UK for the power of his thoughts. From the US to Norway, from Sweden to France, from Germany to South Africa, Best shows what philosophy means in a world in crisis.

Jason Miller, Wildlife Liaison.  Founder & Publisher of Thomas Paine’s Corner, press officer for the NAALPO, and Founder of Bite Club KC, Jason has become a fierce of defender of wildlife, employing both creativity and an uncompromising militance.  In his words:  “Having grown weary of watching members of the JCPRD board, Michael Meadors, Randy Knight, the Kansas Department of Wildlife, and the rest of those responsible for the impending Shawnee Mission Park deer slaughter hide behind abstractions and sell unsuspecting compassionate people on the notion that ‘culling’ the deer is the ONLY option and that it will be a ‘humane’ process, I decided to bring a little dose of reality into their lives, and into the lives of the public.”  And reality — the face of death — is exactly what Miller brought to the table.  Reminiscent of the notorious horse’s head scene in the classic movie, this last bold maneuver by Miller has earned him the title “Godfather”.

Gary Yourofsky, Advisor of Vegan Education.  Founder of ADAPTT (Animals Deserve Absolute Protection Today and Tomorrow).    Yourofsky uses his notoriety (including 13 arrests, a mink liberation in Canada in ‘97, and banishment from five countries) to reach tens of thousands of students through approximately 250 engagements annually in public schools and universities across the country.  He uses thought-provoking prose, inspiring stories, indisputable facts, quotes from Pythagoras, William Ralph Inge and other great thinkers, plus graphic footage from slaughterhouses (land and sea), to ask people to be kind to animals and, ultimately, go vegan.
