"Born, Joel Haaglund October 7, 1879 ---- Executed, Joe Hill November 19, 1915

Hill was executed by firing squad on November 19, 1915, and his last word was "Fire!" Just prior to his execution, he had written to Bill Haywood, an IWW leader, saying, "Goodbye Bill. I die like a true blue rebel. Don't waste any time in mourning. Organize... Could you arrange to have my body hauled to the state line to be buried? I don't want to be found dead in Utah."

BTW: Trade Unionism is no friend of Labor.

Joe was an organizer who used pop music to spread the idea that Labor is the Source of Value. He was framed for the murders of two grocers, tried, and shot regardless of calls for reprieve from the US President.

That is how the Combine rolls.

Y'all now what the Combine is, yes?

The Combine harvests all to feed its own always-growing hunger.

The Empire Never Ended.


excerpt from the above pdf shown in video:

"At the heart of fear of the unknown is the fear of freedom, the fear of responsibility, the fear of the self and the fear of life.

These are all the same thing for the hereditary slave.

At the heart of the fear of the unknown is anhedonia."



The BLO




A [username] DEATHINKING JOINT

"Anhedonia is the inability to love, to feel love or to express love. It is the inability to experience pleasure, to give it or receive it.

Anhedonia is the result of a preoccupation with the ego-image, a false conception of the self which springs not from the validation implicit in succeeding in establishing authentic relations with others, but from a paranoid hallucination that originates in the oldest and most archaic region of the human brain and otherwise manifests an underlying desire to return the womb.

At the heart of every anhedonic impulse to deny the self and to control others, so that they may not discover that we hate ourselves, worship idols and are prisoners of fear, is a moral absolutism."


911 Safety, Inc., Ltd. LLC

"Moral absolutisms change, but all are based on the false dichotomy of Good and Evil.

At the heart of every moral absolutism is an idée fixe.

Fixed ideas are the willing denial of reality. Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesnt go away.

At the heart of every idée fixe is amnesia.

At the heart of amnesia is oblivion.

Oblivion is the death of identity, the identity of death.

At the heart of oblivion is empire.

The empire never ended."

"Empire is normality. Empire is the reduction of reality to a dogma.

Empire lives through us while we navigate oblivion, struggling blindly and desperately in our chains.

Empire is a prison of temporality. Empire imposes a narrative of linear time to forestall hope of a second chance in life and to instil a dread fear of making mistakes. Time is not linear; time follows the rhythm and characteristics of the seasonsbirth, growth, decline, death, rebirth.

Empire is living death; the personification of fear."

"I must not fear.

Fear is the mindkiller.

Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will allow it to pass over me, and through me.

Where it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.

This is the Litany Against Fear. Memorise it."

"No playing the victim. Learned passivity and helplessness is part of the problem, not the solution.

No representatives. Anyone who claims to represent is the enemy. Empire is the representation of freedom and the reality of paranoid hallucination, manipulation and control.

When momentum builds, we will know. We will feel it in the air.

We will meet each other reborn as brothers and sisters on the streets. We will have never met, but we will know one another as we know ourselves."

From my One True Love™ Democracy By The People comes this bit of electoral reform currency:

Nader Sparks Debate about Direct Democracy

NADER SPARKS DEBATE ABOUT DIRECT DEMOCRACY




"People are dropping out of democracy. That’s a very dangerous trend. The voting level is going down. But even more than that, you have people say, "I’m not turned on to politics." Well, history shows that if you’re not turned on to politics, politics is going to turn on you. And the political system, under the corporate domination, is closing out the civil society. Citizen groups can’t get anything done anymore. It’s very hard to get a chance to have a chance in Congress before the regulatory agencies or the courts. It’s like a permanent government in Washington." Ralph Nader http://www.ontheissues.org/Ralph_Nader.htm

"I mean, first of all, if [the Democratic presidential candidates] wanted to [end the influence of special interests] they’d put front and center public funding of public campaigns. They put front and center cracking down on corporate crime fraud and abuse. They would put front and center empowering the American people in direct democracy format so they can move in when they’re so-called representatives cave in to the interests of big business." Ralph Nader http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0802/25/ltm.03.html



While Nader refers to our need for direct democracy in the US, some see it as an advancement of his personal political agenda. For example, the article "Democracy? Count Me Out" by Stephen Gowans argues that Nader and other politicians just want to change the rules when they are losing in order to slant the playing field in their favor. According to Gowans, this explains Nader’s attempt to give the people more power while he is actually hoping to give "enlightened" people more power. Citing Richard Swift’s work as an example, Gowans goes on to argue that people who advocate direct democracy might be surprised by the effects of expanding democracy’s scope, such as a majority that disagrees with their own political initiatives. Taking this perspective, both the ’non-authoritarian’ Left and the right-wing policy makers in Washington nowadays are equally "happy to exploit the rhetoric of democracy, as a useful way to distinguish themselves favourably from authoritarian regimes". While equating these two extremes is a bit of an exaggeration, Gowans does have a point about the type of rhetoric being used in politics today.


However, if we step back from the debate about presidential candidates to see what citizens are saying about direct democracy, a different thesis appears. In a recent online debate which included several particpants of the Worldwide Direct Democracy Movement (WDDM), it became apparent that in order to effectively advocate true direct democracy, we cannot be satisfied with mere stopgap participatory responses to problems that can only be addressed through a new system of comprehensive and total participation. Instead of altering the playing field slightly to make it more favorable for one team or the other, or even in favor of the referee, we should be pushing for a new field all together on which we are all players and referees. - Editor



So there's that.

Hey, a heads up for any wandering Daemonkrauts in here that your party still has a viable contender outside the Hillarak Supramacy. A guy with decades more experience. A guy who isn't afraid to take the bold stand against torture and pointless total war. A guy who really has fought the good fight, a guy who secured a paper trail for some of the Pentagon's most corrupt and vile enshadowings by reading them into the National Record during a filibuster in the 1970's, a move that could have cost him much more than the blackballing and cockblocking he's had to endure as one of our last actual statesmen.

Let's See You Get Out Of This One, Bats!

Muahaha.


M03 Gr33n - Let It Burn
Go see Moe's Place on ThierSpace!


I've got you now, Batman, you Chomsky-sucking mutherfugg...

Srry, y'all. That one's a particularly hilarious-to-me "joke" that even a Presidential Hopeful™ can't summon the solipsism to elucidate. The RapeJoke of US Foreign Policy is funnier. Moe would get it. Battim, if you find this, know that i won't rest until you get it too. I'm sorry that it won't be as funny as:

USFPIARJ Teaser Wants You And Dresses Like It Too.


Srry, that's the RapeJoke of US Development And Enclosure/Domestic Policy. So hard to keep them separate.

Anyway, that shit ain't funny, and i know you know i know this, and you had best be aware that am fully aware of the former, and am still going to shove it in any and every face i see, even the "innocent" amongst the wellwishers, when ere hence i boil it down to servable dimentia.

Qua? Because...because you fuckers are driving your cars around, paying the banks and companies what They™ tell you to, acting like you've got a fucking say in who becomes Bush's heir to the puppethone, acting like even if you did have a say there was a cunting difference on stage between the 6 wastes of skin offered, and all the while your tax dollars are once again paying for worldwide outsourcing of rape and murder at increasing rates; and you act as if this is understandable given how crazy Arabs are.

Worse, you act like you believe this cockamamie half-assed lie is fooling you, and then...l0lz, get this shit..THEN YOU ACT LIKE I'M SUPPOSED TO NOT CALL YOU ON IT.

Oh Cracka i KNOW you ain't that high.

Which of you females reading this is thinking "Obama or Hilary?" WHICH ONE OF YOU?

Which one of you-wanna be Realists still thinks the 2004 electoral-over-popular count doesn't decidedly prove beyond the standard mean required that the US electoral college is not contingent upon the popular count? Which one, two, or W/e is so fucking committed to the Ideal Armchair of Moderation that following the fucking paper trail from New York through London to Dubai is the job of "Conspiracy Freaks" and not merely another good way to track the obvious actions of a global cartel of multinationalist corporate dynasties?

Which 20 of you ARE conspiracy fucktards, buying your clique's racist, ethnocentrist, tribalist misdirection legends? WHICH ONE OF YOU FUCKING PEOPLE BELIEVED THE HASHEMSFILMS L0LZFEST?

WHO HERE BELIEVES THE FUCKING SAUCERMEN ARE COMING?

Derp. Dipshits. You aren't fooling anyone by acting as if you think that's within the reach of plausible. It's praetobviously not, and as a matter of fact one WOULD have to be slightly retarded to think that aliens were going to alieviate us of the responsibilties implicit in dealing with the ever-growing gobs of human feces appearing (as if by divine intervention!) in our personal doggie dishes.

I don't care if it's out of fear that you don't face down the FaceLess with me. It's always been so obvious to me that an oligarchy controlled the Western world. One controls Japan, in collusion with the Imperial aristocracy which they kept. One controls India, created by the Aryans when they took over the ArcheoTamil world. Ghandi was a pale motherfucker, huh? They're good at it, them Aryan Cousins of mine.

In the West they didn't fare so well. No Bible. That's key in the beginning. This is why it's easy to blame the Jews; their founding autocrat wrote the bible that the whole of Western Culture looks to as some sort of keystone. Here's the kicker, boys and girls:

No Gods empower these people.

In case you haven't noticed, those symbol sets don't mean shit in physical reality, being as the sky is empty. No MagicMan in the clouds. So that's all just control myths. And you have to be pretty fucking broken to let some other idiot's poorly plaguarized spook story control you into giving real authority to elitist thugs.

Every Jew i know wants nothing to do with Israel and gets no Hanakhah gifts with Tel Aviv postmarks, dig? Every blond i know wants nothing to with Nazi scumbags and has no claim on their ancestral farmland in the Rhone Valley, every Londoner i know has no love for the Royals....

...hmph. I don't know any Londoners, actually. Fucking go back to 1812, everybody. NOW.

Alright, here's a happy Revolutionary Music Video to motivate you.

Tania (Be Cool About Fire Safety, Comrade Paris!)


I'll be there waiting. Hurry up, and somebody PLEASE give Paris an AK.

Sorry if i yelled...No, fuck that. Sorry if you think Democracy isn't worth looking into.

This may pan out to be invaluable during a future Food Riot or some such,*** but to my knowledge no electoral delegates number amongst the hapless and happier victims of our ongoing brainwashing experiment.

Hence the impetus giving rise to this Appologia. I'm not The Great Communicator™, but i'll try to be as holistic yet coherant as...

Democracy and the Communaeum: En Appologia


The course of action proponed by this campaign, which is to secure the guarantee of direct democracy through popular vote for the US Executive, strikes many as premature in proposal and preposterous in practicablity. Pundits from all sides reveal thier true elitist leanings and wave off talk of a direct count as an affront to the intent with which our Founders created and cast this Republic™ using this eponymous nomenclature as if they've found the perfect circular argument to win the Junior Debate with. Surely advocates of a popular vote know that the wisdom and indisputably nobel intentions of the Constitutional Congress provided the peasants of America with the fairest of all representative process in the crafting of the Electoral System? The US is the most democratic republic ever, rationnally conceived on Natural Law with respect given to the Individual's Soveriegn Rights™.

I hold no card against these fishwives' recitations of Thier Masters' Voices. I am an Individual; i do hold my own Soveriegn Rights as i perceive them to be Inalienable, Immutable and Sacrosanct; and thusly the cognitive dissonic yelp of withdrawing from the challenge and promise of developing our society further along the Populist Path with such an Authortarianist set of arguments repells me. Liberty in Her simple beauty begs the Post-Enlightenment heart to pound in rythmn with an egalitarian drum, not to shy up from the press of the common hand and turn back toward the vague Authority of the Unseen that is the omnipresent bulwarks of Oligopoly Autocratic Tyranny.

That shite's an Intolerable Act, and this Peasant doesn't do those.

Let's instead see what Natural Law we can find to rest our elbows on, since the crux of the matter is really a simple duality:

Given that Her Citizens will continue to be governed by the triple-tiered Federalism (with Bicammeral Legislate™!) of the current United States governmental system, & that that said system, dynamic as all systems are, will tend towards equilibrium but develop if acted upon, would it be preferable to:

A - Maintain current levels of Citizen power reflected in the beurocracies and policies of the Nation, regardless of effect;

B - Maintain current overall social atmospherics, or find a better equilibrium state and call it an Epoche for the American Empire, by any means neccessary;

C - Increase Citizen power and involvement in the affairs of State, so long as this doesn't change other social equalibriums; or

D - Increase Citizen power and involvement in the affairs of State by any means neccessary.

The Quadratic Duality: Should we work to keep things as they are or work towards the functional idealogical goal we as Americans hold to be our Uniting Cause and Founding Purpose, Democracy; one Nation, by the People, for the People, of the People; where one person equals one vote and the King is dead forever?

To work towards the lessening of Citizen power or the lowering of social equalibrium values are both now Federal offences triable under the Patriot Act; sitting on the sidelines and doing nothing will add to the inertial drag that's pulling the current equalibrium into a whirlpool bound for stagnancy at best, perhaps leading us right back into Obliege Britannica. So action is, as always, a True Patriot's Endevour™ encumbent upon all Citizens to engage.

Common Sense, 2007


King Missile III- Royal Lunch Buffet
Open Stand-Alone Player



The following is standard Propaganda, created to promote the Constitutionalist Party. I would like to say i've updated it somehow, or that it's 50% whiter or some such, but... well, frankly, i just don't care enough to lie.


Common Sense:
Toward a More Perfect Union



Two hundred and ten years ago, our first Chief Executive declined the call to serve a 3rd term. The living embodiment of Enlightenment leadership offered the following caveats about political parties in his farewell speech:

"This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.
"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.
"Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.
"It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.
"There is an opinion that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the administration of the government and serve to keep alive the spirit of liberty. This within certain limits is probably true; and in governments of a monarchical cast, patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be by force of public opinion, to mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume."


The interceding centuries have provided well for Washington's foresight, with the landscape of our nation's political machinations springing forth new parties to reinvigorate the process of government at regular intervals. Now, it falls upon citizens of our great republic to once again reshape the corpus politic with an organic body of renewed vitality, a forumn free from reactionary positionalism borne by decades of contention. It is our duty to our history, our sacred heritage of democratic spirit, to enjoin our peers in the monumental effort to set higher standards of administrative trust.
Whatever your current affiliation, allegience or obligation, it is your personal civic duty to help build this new organ of political power. Your voice will help shape the chorus we are striving to tune. Your dreams will guide our intent. Your concerns will sharpen our resolve.
You don't have to join this new party to make it work for you, but your duty as an American citizen behooves you to help shape its' reality.
Our primary cause is one of universal necessity: the establishment of direct democratic process in the selection of our President by the removal of the electoral system. We stand now at a technological vantage point hitherto unknown to humankind, one that easily facilitates the requirements for true democracy. The brass ring so long sought after, fought for, paid for in blood and toil by untold generations of men and women is finally effectively in our grasp.
Reach out with us and take it. We owe it to our fallen, we owe it to our children.
It is a matter of common sense. Join the Campaign to Elect Citizen j today, and join the dialogue that will shape the future of democracy in America.

Here's an email from the "movement":

INVITE ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY! Earlier this week our legislators in WA STATE refused to put an impeachment bill to a vote because they didn't think that's what the people of WA state want! This decision was made for you despite an unprecedented amount of phone calls, emails, and snail mail the legislatures received from all of us supporting the impeachment bill!!

BE COURAGEOUS- invite everyone you know! Want some talking points to discuss with friends and family on this issue? Try these on;

Why should Bush and Cheney be driven out and IMPEACHED?
Here are just a few of the high crimes and misdemeanors the Bush Adminstration has committed;

*Pre-emptive War based on lies in violation of Nuremburg Principles
*Repeal of Habeas Corpus in violation of the constitution, common decency and civilized society
*Codified and committed Torture through the Military Commissions Act in violation of the Geneva Conventions
*Conducted kidnappings aka 'extraordinary rendition' and now detains over 16,000 people w/o charges and is currently setting up facilities to house 40,000 more in violation the Geneva Conventions
*No-bid contacts given to cronies who over-charged, performed poorly, and have 'lost' millions of dollars of taxpayer money; pure corruption
*Fraudulent elections in violation of the 15th ammendment
*600% increase in terrorism worldwide; shameful incompetence
*Created massive federal debt while giving tax cuts to the wealthy and cutting social services; shameful corruption
*Worked in concert with fundamentalist religious groups to make policy changes and laws in violation of the 1st ammendment
*Spying on American citizens without warrants in violation of the 4th ammendment
*Created the John Warner Defense Act, a portion of which nullifies the Posse Comitatus Act and thereby allows the military to use force against American citizens

And so many more high crimes and misdemeanors that they cannot all be listed here, with no doubt as to the many more as yet unknown crimes that an intensive impeachment investigation would discover.

Our democracy is crumbling! It's time to get out and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT WHILE WE STILL CAN!!

World Can't Wait - Drive Out the Bush Regime, Seattle Chapter


-end remission-

'K. First, tomorrow's the 22nd. They did send a correction email, so let's ignore that.

BUT WHAT THE FUCKEDY COCK IS UP WITH ALLCAPS AND EXCLAIMATIONS!!!

It's not as if this wasn't generated by a script; the "WA STATE" insertion in triplicate is a give away that this was templated. Which then makes the hyperbolic "unprecedented emails" claim glare with cynical offalism, a shiney turd bobbing nauseatingly adrift in the toddler's bedpan of that opening paragraph. So someone made a template, with the wrong date, formulated for failure, and decided the inflection of summertime chatroom was the stylistic element needed to motivate the masses.

Nice. I love activism. Makes me feel like i'm in the company of reasonable adults. Always has.

I guess i'll drop a sign off of Dravus overpass, maybe. Maybe show up at the Ballard meeting just to be counted as a potential 5th columnist. No worries, Big Bro; the other 4 are MIA.



I ripped all of anti-tenure patriarch Nels' vids and stuck 'em into the media blender that is Brightcove. This is one for you fellow media propagationistaz to keep an eye on, being as it's true Web 2.0. Flash feeds with syndication controls and ad-space hooks to make the medium massage the media into mass-media message space. Ideally. No offers yet, but i tweaked the tags a bit tonight so...we'll see.

This is why i'll be doing some form of public pro-impeachment prostitution tomorrow. Concerned Citizens are duty-bound to carry the news of the day until the newspapers do.

Those of us who care too much go the extra mile
to tell you what we make you think.
Close your eyes and count to 100, please.

Congressional Tenure and The Death Of Sri Lenny


Tro' Da Bums Out!


Tenure Corrupts
code:


America, stop fucking around.

Look, if you're not going to own your vote in the presidential election, which you don't seem to want to do, you're going to have to attack the cycle of aristocratic carreerism that perpetuates the corrupt cronyism of American One-Two Party Politics™ at the Legislative level. The logic of term limits is undeniable. Allowing Federal legislators to pursue careers makes them into politicians instead of statesmen. It turns a civic duty into a mealticket. It provides a throne for dynastic ambition, and makes those who sit upon it more concerned with maintaining the position than actually doing their job, thus they use the power of the position to insure thier continued tenure. This paradoxically engenders both partisan polemics and centrist infidelity, as the career politicians seek to curry the favor of current idealogue pundits while maintaining a status-quo of overall inaction.

All of this would change if the prize of re-election was removed. Mandating limits of 1 term for Senators and 3 for Representatives would allow 6 years for the office holder to concentrate on doing the job they were elected to do while removing the means to perpetuate careerism.

It's Common Sense.

Look at your "representatives". They have betrayed all the popular interests that put the there, both Democrat and Republican. The war drags on, with no end in sight. The borders remain open, the immigration reform promised to the GOP is bogged down in endless committee. Carl Rove remains free to dance the Cabbage Patch at whim. Marriage is still open to interpretive legislation by individual states, and social security remains on the "to-do" list with the rest of the buerocratic bungles and unsorted piles of red tape that pass for government agencies. This "to-do" list will continue to grow, since it provides an endless source of talking points and strawman pillaries while justifying continued funding of commitees, study groups and programs purporting to be "solutions".

New lamps for old, full of the same snake-oil that stunk up the place with obscuring clouds of black smoke to begin with.

Throw the bums out.

Truth™







One-Handalone ClaPlayer

WTC 7 - Audit that, biotchesez!!!



Candidate's comment to Popular Mechanics:
I think Canada did it to take our attentions away from their assumption of Bechtel's bid-list; and although i would like to believe that Pop Mechanics' armchair CSI is plausible as much as i would the standard Truther™ fable (that Dubya and his Illuminati freinds used alien C4), niether get my timeslice. I require hard lab forensics, and you both have missed the option for an actual inquiry by years.

All the evidence is gone.

So, only speculative sleuthing is left.

Start with motive.
I'd put Kaliph S Moha' as prime suspect at this point; he's the one with a stated threat AND a prior attempt. 9-11 would have been a successful life's work for him. However, his cabal wasn't particularly good at IT (International Terrorism), being moled out in the 90's; he's no Jackal.

Ideologues are the exception among criminal masterminds, though. Most are just greedy. Thus the next most likely suspect is a profile familiar in New York; an inspecific slumlord, one who has a partner who's into development and another in demolitions, maybe another in industrial scrap. Remember, the bullion in the basements was moved out too.
Next would be Haliburton, for real; even a 5th grader could see by the time tower 2 came down that we were going to war with Iraq, and that meant a cash payoff for our usual suspects in war profiteering.

I'm sure a couple more cabals could be reasonably suspected prior to adding our Sunni allies in Afganistan to the list of criminally motivated, and without a money trail i really don't see them motivated enough to spend as much as was required to train, inject and house the agents here who pulled it off.

First, follow the money. Who benifits? The benificiary or Bin Laden? How much cash is being/has been spread around as opposed to lump-sum dropped on particular companies involved in the properties affected?

I mean, IF you want to get at an answer. If you just want to bitch about a bitch's demand for a real investigation and give the rest of us no real meat from EITHER camp, do by all means keep playing the 9-11 Truth™ Game with the conspiracy crowd.

I know I sure love it. It's refreshing to have so many people in the country around me dance around the real issues and throw shit at each other.

No wonder we still have the electoral college embarassment...

/C_j's comment

Oh, do let's all jump on the lesbian for actually talking about a politically pertainant issue.


Gloria Stienem: GynaGatekeeper


W/E. I'm telling you, drop it. Time's wasting, and there's no aliens coming to give you more.


Simian Suffrage?


The Dems will put a woman or a black up. This will give you a Republican president in 2008, even if the popular vote disagrees. Congress will allow Dubya's agenda to play out, since that's what Congress does is facilitate the ruling cabal's agenda.

Unless you limit their terms.

All Hail The New Flesh


Akira
code:


We assume that the mechanism driving evolution is competition, or rather the laisez faire clockwork of interactions known as natural selection. This hypothesis rests on the idea that some better-suited individuals of a given species are afforded more reproductive oportunities due to thier adaptations, which presumes a situation of scarcity. Scarcity would be neccesary in order to offer the less adapted naught but deprivation, rather than merely less food or water or shelter. Less would be subsistence level, not enough for removal from the gene pool.

See where i'm going with this?

I've mentioned the myth of scarcity before, and although i've tried to allude to it's importance in human affairs i haven't mentioned the fact that accepting it as a primae causae for competition severly disables most of the arguments for mechanisms of natural selection. We see natural selection at work only in areas of actual scarcity, like deserts or the ocean floor, volcanic areas and caves, the Arctic or the complex minute ecosystems of bookshelves. Here the environment is less than nurturing, and life has to adapt to survive. These are exceptions to the general rule of thumb here on Terra, which is an unusually temperate and hospitable world with over 3/4 of it's surface offering not only a living but an easy living for almost any life form. Thus, there is no scarcity of resources, no need to compete.

Yet most creatures do, or rather act as if they need to. This is almost universal.

Almost.

The obvious fact that a meme as complex as the myth of scarcity is part of the conscious processes of millions of different species, including plants, is too much for me to ask you to contemplate. So ignore that path.

Let's focus on what mechanism could possibly supplant natural selection as the mechanism for evolution now that it's debunked, which (like it or not) it is. No, not the grandmotherly compassion of Maha Deva Kali Maa (Jai jai!); full moon on April Fools notwithstanding i am assured that She wants no part in taking responsibility for the infinate permutations of specific petty greed that are involved. So what drives genetic change, other than sporadic mutations?

Choice.

D'oh. Choices, the obvious choice. It is will that drives individual ambition, which is spurred by species specific ambition. How would this affect the genome, you ask?

Regardezvous, si vous plait o non, the Calico Cat.

It has been observed, even in big cats, that when the biome niche of a given feline is threatened there will be produced a Calico, a female whose locii contain all possible attributes for the species. This mother-of-mothers will produce in turn cats of all stripes, literally.

See, other animals know about genetics too, and practice genetic engineering on a much more intimate level than we do. This explains the evolution of certain traits in the natural record that seem to spring up overnight, like sabre-toothing. This explains how the proto-pachydermata returned to the sea as cetacea, and how a scrawny chimp/bonobo with only one set of opposable thumbs became the bald ape typing this now.

Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, kinder, and i posit thus:

Own your self, own your future.

Start with your vote. It's a small step towards returning to the evolutionary process. Because unlike evolution, devolution really is driven by natural selection. The more evolved will not mix with the common herd, and will most probably be trampled underfoot.

219 years and you STILL don't have the vote, sucker.

Change the Electoral Genome.
Demand Direct Democracy NOW.

Disappearings



A Hung'i Ghost Spooktacular:
Recent Dis-Re-Appearrerings

America: What's Going Down?

code:


Halifaxion Memorial
code:


TheirTube contact and Cj_08 alias BobForehead (aka yours truly) notices the absence of a long-time subscription, Halifaxion, thanks commentary on a vid posted fromorangefu. Halifaxion, aka belowgroundsurface, is/was a Truther Extreme; a devotee to the myth of 9-11 as he sees/saw it. This is most probably why i didn't note his passing, since i didn't even have a 9-11 playlist per-se until i created the above Memorial.

Contained in this irreverent but sincere memorial to a seemingly dissapeared prophile are a number of invective attacks by battim, who seems to have cool tattoos but whom supports Chomsky and so should also be ridiculed some.

{Just because Chomsky and i share the shellshocked side of the Palestinian situation doesn't mean he's not a gatekeeper. He sets the tone for US Leftism™, which he purposefully keeps in the intellectual sphere; his prescription is inaction and a suscription to Utne Reader. Both are wrong.}

When i was but a wee-rabble rouser i latched onto the fact that certain powerful circles of money and influence overlapped and daisychained a poisonous ring-around-the-rosey that spanned centuries and spawned death, inequality and injustice of the meanest varieties. By the time i was a university Junior i had given up the ease of nebulous conspiracies and found a common seed-germ for this System of syndicates within our Systems, the nexus with name.

Banking. In specific, Llyodd's of London and it's unnamable syndicate of silent partners. The Dutch West India Company and it's British counterpart are the most obvious transnationals of the former class. Note that both of these corporations outlive thier charters and are dissolved under Chapter 11-ish circumstances.

This is the way corporations have always been subsumed back into the fabrice of the aristocracy who hold controlling shares. Regardez vous Haliburton's recent dissolution of KBR.

The conspiracy is real; but it doesn't lie in an Illuminatti plot by aliens to turn us all into Verichipped solent green. Yes, there are times when the families who currently hold the ball(s) work in concert to devastation effect: The European Enclosure and more notably the creation of fascist regimes during interwar 20th century's socialist awakening. Enabling Franco and Hitler to stop workers from transforming Europe into the jewel Internacional was sick, petty, wasteful, shortsighted, dull and inhumane to the point of sociopathy. Personally i'd wager that Lenin had the backing of the Monarchist-Capitalists as well, since he hadn't read Marx well enough to know that a socialism needs a democratic footing in a fully industrialized economy. His Bolshevik bullshit has fucked socialists for a good 100 years by association. However, this latter add-on of mine has one tiny flaw.

It's not a matter of public record, unlike Britain and the United States' funnelling of cash to the proto-Reich to thwart trade-union socialism.

As soon as Hitler became an issue we can see where the global conspiracy looses it's giest, becoming a phantom of itself. Britain had to wait for the US aristocracy to want war bad enough to allow Pearl Harbor for us to STOP aiding and abbetting the Third Reich. We kept cranking those Krupverks Special Orders out of New Jersey full knowing they were sinking allied ships under Her Majesty's flag in the North Sea until we were actually served papers by the German Embassy.

Hell, Prescott Bush kept trading with Der Fuehrer until injunctions were served on the companies of his that were involved. War profitteers are fey to close up shop when a war is on; it's like being a chimneysweep who takes fall and winter off. Even a commie like me understands that.

So the unity of purpose that kept the Czar propped up longer than healthy kept pressing the "react" button like a junkie on a morphine drip, fomenting the sickest kind of nationalist ethnic zenophobia-as-political-agenda across Europe, schisming the lowest 2/3 of the population against itself in an effort to prevent a people's movement.

This is what the Atlantic Cabal does. This is what we're doing in the mid-east, the US and Britain, protecting Dutch and British investments in the area by attempting to keep the Ottoman Schism of Persia and the Arab Schism of themselves from unifying (again). We are in Iraq, the poorest country resource-wise per acre in the area, NOT to gain resources. Again, the conspiracy Doppler shifts itself into a ghost of a shadow; we see only war profiteers and thier money-men making good on this. The Bush family is once again aiding and abetting, but not in a profitable way. Former British holding Haliburton has used the past 6 years to complete it's metamorphosis into a full transnationalist, now free to settle where it's own cabal can enjoy fewer taxes. Shell oil has benifitted along with thier Dutch owners, and British Petroleum has managed to sink it's teeth into the Alaskan Reserve while we puzzled at losing control of two (2) major pipelines (Alaska and our Unical Miracle pipe from Uzbek to Turkey).

Follow the money and see how these sometimes collaborative cartels and cabals are NOT a unified Illuminati, even if they do all go to Ivy League schools to polish thier inhumanity off with law degrees. They were, at one point, all Masons, too. So's my dad. So's my uncle.

My father and namesake uncle are NOT two men to have in the same room at the same time. They are NOT a unified Brotherhood. My uncle was/is a few ranks below my dad, but his business inclinations allowed him to no doubt make better use of the network the Masons had to offer; he retired early, a millionaire.

My dad, whom i take after, is either dead or still working and living hand to mouth, working class style: because that is what we workers do.

Unless you've got a healthy coat of the Lazies like me, they'll work you to death, Mason or no. Why? Because it's money that is the main-god, the mantra, the whip that drives the future.

See, there IS no Lucifer
or YHWH or Allah
or Maha Devi Kali Maa (Jai Jai, i kid)
or Gray aliens or Mayan Ant-Serpent-Fairies
or what the fuck EVER you think it is
that They™ are in cohoots with
in order to gain control of your precious pink panties.
Turns out that the rich just do it for the money,
and that they already have your pink panties because
you're so busy being lazy
and blaming the Illuminati/Islamofascists/your parents
that you traded them away a long time ago.


You support Them™ with every purchase. You know this; why do you litterally buy into it?

So there's that.

Then there's why i felt the need to get up-ons Against Conspiracies. Turn that gun on myse'f, half-cocked. Let's talk of disappearances, half-truths and outright lies; govenment projects and tripping over the outline on the doorstoop.

I've been dredging NASA/JPL for audio files again.


Facial Cues and Voice Synthesis


Granted, the space agencies have MASSIVE amounts of data to host on limited server space. So i don't expect all three hours of any given auroral event, or the complete Mars Mike hash. (the first Mars Mike was lost, second got funding whacked, so that's a bad example-i just like the project's name) However, when they pull files that are only 1 meg at most, i wonder. When it happens again and again, and certain types of data are pulled, i start digging.

Orbiter Gravity - Radio Saturn
 
 
New Moons for Saturn - Voyager Hits Termination Shock


One doesn't just do space silent, you know. NASA's Reverb Tank For Human Factors Research is modeled on an actual room. They don't neccesarily keep everything all tidy either, which yeilds some nifty treasure rooms.


Cassini Takes new Pics of Saturn's Hexagonal North Pole


The goal is to find all of the files involvingVoyager hitting the heliopause. The originally released one is gone; i have a copy if anyone wants to hear the Space Frogs.

BTW, i'm not sure what NASA and the EAU are hiding by dissapearing the files that they do, but i have a theory. It's not UFO's.

Alright, get serious. Show some damn respect for the only other sane activist in Amerikkkuh.

Of Channelling Discourse, Centralised Democracy and The Shit I Put Up With For Love

I think to my self at times, "When did all my freinds start gaying out?" Schizten Krist, my ACTUALLY Gay freinds at least tell me straight out, "Sorry, we're all up on Hilary's pussy." Which lets you know how actually homosexual these particular peeps be. In the end all i want is for someone to engage with something, and i don't think i neccessarily have to precipitate such a thing to take solace from it.

The general time-complexity of adiabatic quantum computation is
still an open problem.
I trust i'll get over this, though. Let's not digress.

I have an old freind, since junior high, who's now a Sargeant with the San Jose Police. He's Libertarian, party true. That's a done deal, and although i think it's a dead end route i won't tell him so; i don't bother him at all about 2008. He's at least engaged with the idea of reform, and made a rather bold decision as well.

If i lived in California, this alone would be enough for me to trim this whole campaign back to the petition and some mp3s.

Reform.

The word just lays there, like a whipped dog.

Reform: It's not as crazy as "Change".™

Yet that is what i propone these days, mere reform, well within the legal tradition and egalitarian spirit of our Constitution.

To channel Blakely:

"On November 2nd, 2004 the American people stepped forward, went to
the polls and proved that the margin between the thinking and
unthinking people of this country was close enough that a fiddling in
Ohio, or maybe not even fiddling, maybe just run of mill
incompetence, could swing the election toward fascism and mania.
Similarly in 2004, the Democrats demonstrated once again that they
can't pick a political leader to save their lives. The key difference
between a political leader and a politician is that a political
leader educates rather than panders, and Kerry was a panderer not an
educator. The will of a misinformed, jingoistic, frightened mass does
not make for a very effective democracy, and I have to admit Lenin's
concept of Centralized Democracy became all the more clearer to me on
that fateful November day. One of the things we seem to forget en
masse is that the populace had to be convinced that the revolution
that gave birth to this nation was a good idea. Political leaders of
the day didn't send out Gallup and his goons and ASK if maybe freedom
from the crown would be something they might be interested in, they
argued the case for succession and independence, and they argued it
vehemently, they even argued amongst themselves about what form that
independence should take, and they even flip-flopped here and there
about it. Bipartisanship is a shitty idea across the board, effective
government depends on polemics and the dialectic of deep and sincere
disagreement. The race to the middle, if it continues, will kill this
republic in the end."


This race...to this middle...Blakes, i forget, when did we part ways with our other Leftist Comrades? When the US was a socialism? Or anything other than an imperial bastard? We've been outright fascism, by definition, since about 4 years before Ike told us we were. Yet they do do a dance, that race to the middle, and make it a palpable palatable alternative to the excesses of whichever percieved extreme preceded. After FDR's apparent socialist renovation Truman looked like a logical bridge to That Moderate General. After Reagan/Bush, we sighed in releif as our imaginary political pendulum blew some sweet sax our way. Groovy. Then we expected Li'l' Dub, huh? I did. "Bush Jr? Makes sense. Middle ho!"

Too much brass in the Dome, maybe. The center is really a gravity well formed somewhere between the Pentagon and the event horizon of the Watergate Hotel. I'm down with the pro-polemic, IF we want a political government.

I don't think we do. I think we want a meritocracy.

Worked for Ghengis.

"..with the 8mpg smoke blowing '76
f100 on the way out and the sale value of the Saturn rapidly
declining at it approached 100k, the idea of maintaining and insuring
a single biodiesel vehicle was appealing (and I wanted 3/4 ton to try
and limit the round trips for dump, rocks, soil, bark, etc).
Adjusting to 15-20mpg and the $1k font end work I had to do right
away got me second guessing, but the dog likes it, so I guess it's
ok. Still kind of keeping an eye out for a cheap little fixer diesel
(escort, jetta, rabbit, golf kind of thing, although the old
mercedes' are terribly tempting), but I need to drum up some extra
capital for that little adventure (the truck intimidates me from a
fiddle with it perspective, probably because I financed the damn thing).

And the answer you've all been waiting for, the one to use for all
ethical questions and decisions....Is it the right, good, and correct
thing to do....probably not, but it's a little bit less wrong than
some other things, and that's probably the most we can ask for on the whole..."


THAT, right there, is all i wanted. One other person i know, like KNOW, enough to corespond with, has made the descision to remove thier locomotion from the Octopus's oily grip. That's enough for me, really.

No, fuck you, i'm serious. It's actually 1 more than i expected. I'm good to go. Let's cut to footage of the day's slaughter.




Aum Jai Jai Aum Shanti Sri Anna Nichol. You were ours, and thus your wit was never seen through the pharmaceutically shaded mutual exploitation that we reflected in lieu of life. Now, we market.

Way to remember the best Justice our Supreme Court ever had stacked. I actually love Brandies, BTW. He called the Israel trap and withdrew all support for what he saw as a betrayal of purpose and subsequent illegal occupation.

Curiously, Vermont's electoral law goes on too long for me to swallow that last binding edict. The top ten list is now a top 15, maybe.

Let's push on.

VIRGINIA - 13 Electoral Votes

The qualified voters of the Commonwealth shall choose the Commonwealth's electors for President and Vice President of the United States at the general election in November 1996, and every fourth year thereafter. Each voter shall vote for a number of electors which equals the whole number of senators and representatives to which the Commonwealth at that time is entitled in the Congress of the United States.

§ 24.2-203. Convening of electors; filling vacancies; how electors required to vote.

Electors named in any petition of qualified voters as provided in § 24.2-543 shall be required to vote for the persons named for President and for Vice President in the petition.

An Even more specious set of instructions for electors and voters wishing to get counted. I like the indy party/petition coalition provision, though.
