Mumia's on a roll this month, and Ismail's servin' it up like Mothers' Day in BC. Why? Why, you wonder, fellow White Person? Yes, you, no matter what the checkbox on your ID says; if you're reading this you come from a space that is essentially in opposition to that of folks like Doktor Jamal and Sri X.
Oooops, did i stray suddenly too far Camp? STFU, Crackiditty Tom. I bring news from Spartacus and the 5th; they have braved through the seductions of Syndication to deliver Boondocks Anew!
WAY more than you'll ever get outta that goddamn democracy-hating Libertarian Red Herring in a Republican's cowl, Ron Paul. He's not your buddy, kid. He's an elitist who has the terminity to admit it in face of the growing abyss between Us and Them™. One last list to ponder, and a thought to help you gnost' it: Who's more actively a participant in the marginalization of the Common Citizen ~ Condi 'ice or Mikael Richards?
There's a saying amongst the Vedicly-inclined that it's hard to keep it, shall we say, real when one is permuttated in Kali Yuga. Too much decadence, the story goes. The cycle of four ages is full of Maya at that point, making the last age one in which simple acts of selflessness garner more Dharmic Credit Points than in others, comensurate to the difference in overall general turdishness the rest of the biosphere would be exhibiting. Thusly, the Buddha-emulation clique (a subset of the Vedicly-inclined demographic) often remark that Enlightenment™ is easier to attain during Kali Yuga, on a sliding scale that approaches 0 as T(ime) approaches End.
If D'J33pZ(0rX) swings past this entry, maybe she'll be kind enough to comment and tell the stry of how she reintroduced me to G0D and Grotus via explicating the principle of Kali Yuga to yours truly whilst dodging SoDo traffic to thier hit Top 40 cut from thier seminal disk, Slow Motion Apocalypse.
It really doesn't seem reasonable that this particular global bloom of Alpha sapiens will maintain a tenable possitive growth pattern with regards to that species' growing personal and collective institutional resource requirments and the biosphere's current rate of resource depletion. However, h. sapiens has been virulently responsive to extreme environmental shifts in the past, showing a stubborn resiliency that could mean aeons of additional torment for all terrans (and possible extraterrestrius effects).
Will there be trade unionism in the Off World Colonies™?
Fuck trade unionism and the little bossman it rode in on. One Big Union.
Found my old pledgecard whilst digging to the bottom of the bivouac here at Last Daze InterBai HQ.
This is what i wanted to show y'all.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
Society needs to be social. The means of production ARE common community assets, and as such communal use/access guarantee assurance is the primary job of any oversight institutions that proport to be acting in the civic interest.
There's a good FCC/streetball tie-in somewhere. For those readers who Fear The Linkz, the above pictured Saudi tagger X5 is lobbying the wet-gherkins of the Haus o' Saud government to fund some neighborhood playareae, which really isn't too much to ask. One shouldn't have to ask one's master for the occassional bone; decorum dictates the regular flick of gristle from the head table towards the shadows skulking the floor at the edge of the candlelight.
(the newly appointed official in charge of Jiddah's beautification, Jiddeh city official Mohamed Jamal) Abo-Umara, 45, said young men like Alwani should not be held accountable until officials are sure they've done right by local youth.
"What have we done for young people? Have we asked them what they need or want?" said Abo-Umara, wearing a flowing white head scarf and long robe. "Until I talk to them and find out why they are scribbling all over Jiddah and do my part in offering them the services we're supposed to provide, then I can't punish or criticize them."
Look.
It comes to this. Always.
It's all us. The future can be one long-ass dreary unending clusterthroating of compounding institutional usurption of our common resources or we can grow up, stop putting fucking fences around our increasingly drab walls, claiming every toy in the percievable world our personal private slave-object and learn to share like civilised toddlers. Looking up to "authority" percieved resident in the wealthy elite who really do run things for the edification of global business ventures with whom they have more than casual invested interests in is the number one crippling cognitive prion that the governed can cure themselves of.
Ask your Doktor if shedding your need for a shepherd is right for you.

The flint hand-axe has been a favorite amongst tent-warming concubines for aeons, although many prefer a properly lethal ointment.
The business end of a poleaxe has a continuity of blade that celebrates simple ergonomic truths. The 120cm reach of this poleaxe provides sufficient leverage and momentum to require bolstering the handle.
Clockwise from left: Gris-gris candle; machette; Insipid Pop Culture; Maha Deva Kali Maa (colour'd wrong, a choking hazard); 12 gauge shotgun, .38 and .50 calibre shells; Stealth Bomber; and golf ball. The most lethal? The orange Molitor no.1. Golf kills.

From Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweater, Civilly Disobediant, a rare repost of Colbert by yours truly.
That thing he's doing at the end is a mock-up implying the international signal of a Masonic Brother in need, a type of Parlez/Sanctuary hand sign recognized by all sects in Freemasonry. Upon seeing this, a Mason is to approach, exchange sign/countersign, and ask what is needed, doing all reasonable to aid. I'm not going to tell you the specific difference(s) he's made, but i'll tell ya this: the man has once again done his homework, and there's some Brothers ROLFing right now.
As good a time as any to put down the Illuminati hoax for me. For those who don't know, my father and uncle were both Masons. I grew up going to Scottish Rite banquets, and was inducted into DeMolay at 13. I was my chapter's Almoner, electing not to climb chairs, and consider my contribution to the Temple fulfilled excellciae in my offered pledge, who rose quickly through the ranks and inducted a cadre of his own to renew the chapter's blood. Good kids, really. I don't know if he went on to Masonry. I haven't asked him, and the folks i still know from childhood are too morassed in thier lives and children to bother right now with wacked out inquiries, with the exception of my ex-partner-in-delinquency Officer "B", who can take it since he's a fucking cop now. (I plan on haunting the rest when thier nests are empty; it'll be much scarier then.)
The Freemasons are a lodge, meaning that they are organised in a hierarchy that transcends other social roles across national borders and bonds members together above them as a result. They are also Deists, technically Monodeists, since you have to acknowledge one (1) Supreme Creator, no atheists or Hindus allowed (except KRSN, since they hold unity of godhead). Freemasonry was a development of the Protestant opposition to the Vatican, and it wasn't until the mid 20th century that Freemasonry accepted Catholics into the fold. It's still rare; we had one Catholic in our chapter, initiated at the same ceremony i was. Our Masonic advisor pointed out how this made us a cutting-edge chapter, and we all became aware of a difference that we hadn't noticed until then. In other parts of the world, this tension between Protestant and Catholic sects of Judeochrislam are still very palpable, and Rome still doesn't like Masons.
I was lying about my faith AND lack of police record. I'm like that some. The Catholic was just lying about his record, which was nothing compared to my close shave with felony arson. We snuck out for a smoke with the chapter's lead trouble-kid wrangler, who laid out the underground rules for us to keep out of trouble with the Masons. Good times.
During college, i went to a couple of dances hosted by the Moose Lodge, a much freindlier bunch of folks. Their whole purpose is to leave religious and sexual identity at the door, and hang out with neighbors from the communitee they live in like civilized people. They had better gnoshings, but i gotta tell you: Eastern Star (the women's ancillary for all Freemasonry Temples) mold the Job's Daughters and Rainbow Girls in thier care into perfect little hostess debutantes. This is part of the Lodge's power to persevere, and a reflection of it's aristocratic roots and backbone. It was a network grown to resist and roll back Vatican influence across Europe, and the folks most interested in affecting this were the landed gentry and nobility (who would garner more control of land and taxes) and the international moneychangers (who were tied down by usury provisions). Its functions as an old-boys' club are not its purpose; indeed, it has no real purpose anymore. This is why you see Shriners at parades and billboards advertising the Masons as a communitee resource. The Knights are ceremonial now. They are NOT the Templars, a lodge from whom the Freemasons idealogically descend. They are NOT the Illuminati, who are a fictitious creation of Thomas Pynchon and the late great Sri Robert Anton Wilson. Yes, ok; there may have been the alleged historical Enlightenment lodge of the Barvarian Illuminati, but from the end of the Inquisition to present there has been a non-stop perculation of lodges and Orders throughout the Protestant zones, since they have no unified central social organisation to discourage such secularist or mystical groups. One doesn't consider the OTO to be a member of the Grand Conspiracy; yet Aliester Crowly and the 'Dawn have done more to impact your psyche than you know.
Saying that, there is Skull and Bones. A classic example of an organization who get painted as a possible seat of evil power. This is just a bassackwards way to view the situation, really. Fucking think about it. What is Yale? Is that a public school, is it a state university like my alma mater SJSU or even the rich kid's choice university at state like UCLA or UW? No. It's an ivy league law school, founded by the aristocratic colonial-era charter-holders. It is one of three (3) in the US. Yeah yeah, W/E Cornell, Georgetown, Hofstra, Brown...STFU. Harvard, Yale, Princeton son todos. Stanford's West Coast and too young, but was built in accordance with the same ethos: class.
Yes, Virginia, the oligopsony aristocrats speak of class, too. It's not just for us fire-starters to yell during a bar fight. Class war is real and ongoing; you've just beleived them for the last 100 years as they've told you how America, Land of Opportunity™ has no class lines, just levels of return on investment due to individual effort. They released this information from the research labs at Harvard's Dept of Economics, Statistics, and Social Science Engineering. This the New Yorker carried, or New Rebublic, or maybe Harper's, who knows? The voice of an authorative is all you wanted. So there's no class, except maybe the working class, right? Or was that just a Rick Springfield thing?
Aristocrats send thier kids to Yale. Not us, dear. Not even those snooty third generation gentry brats from the Magnolia family whose patriarch i worked for went to an Ivy. Hal owned half of old Ballard, and his factory mixed paint and coatings for the Pacific Fleet and half the West Coast instalations from the time he walked onto base during Korea until the mid-seventees, maybe eighties. He wore a blue Square and Compass [G] ring, like my father's. (Also an Okie, like my father. If either Masons or Oklahomans really do run the show, my dad sure got left out of the gravy train.) Hal had enough to retire early, which he didn't, and buy a second home on the 1st tee of the Meadowbrook Estates Country Club, and the lot next to it upon which to live while he built the ACTUAL summer home, and you get the idea. Noveu riche, west-coast industrialists do NOT have the creds or cash to do an Ivy, which is why Leland Stanford (whose advances my great aunt spurned, thanks for keeping it real Nan!) built his University in the hills he owned. This is also why certain folks make the pilgramage to Oxford or Cambridge, where they can make connections to trump the parochial clique at home in the States.
Get it now? It's called shmoozing, people. Yes, there are conspiracies. When two or more people of like intent agree to pool thier talents and influences to accomplish a goal without alerting the general public and disclosing thier plans, they are conspiring. If there are laws broken, it becomes criminal conspiracy, a phenominom which is all too common in US history, and is a way of life for the group of knuckle-dragging, life-sucking ebola-douches that currently populate the entire center of Washington DC, many of whom met each other at school. Why don't we wreck thier little game, and institute a direct vote for Chief Executive? That way, see, we could pick a candidate from outside the cluster-throating that comprises the One-Two Party Syndicate, and have our OWN idiot king instead of some bunch of rich frat boys' pick.
