i have never seen a herd of bison
i've never seen a single bison up close
but i know exactly what they smell like

there's something inside me
that can't be defined
by holding the right papers.
no matter what you think about me,
you can't change who i am.
it's not about picking sides,
it's about being true to myself.

if you can't hear the voices of your ancestors
maybe that's because
you are too busy telling everybody else
that their ghosts aren't real.

smart monkeys
manufacturing death
for the merchants of war
and if they do a really good job
of killing lots of people
they get the nobel war prize
but if you call it "peace"
people don't take offense

more poetry (of sorts)

you know why they killed the big herds of bison, don't you?

they couldn't stand the idea of food just walking around free like that, had to make everybody get jobs to make money to buy food from them. duh.

but it wasn't their fault

the people who fought in those wars didn't know what they were fighting about, or if they did they were too afraid to say.

they were just doing their job

to make money to buy food to feed their own children

because what they did here had already been done long time ago where they come from

just ice

new war
the winners of war
always write history
and it's the same as it always was
and people always say
"it's different this time"

the hive mind is shattered
into a million pieces
just like the minds
of those who still defend it
not seeing the prison for what it is
and allowing it to self destruct

facebook poetry

i find it impossible to believe that government will ever be able to solve the problems that its existence creates. it's not about hurting your feelings, it's about being lied to for too long.

when we believe lies, it not only hurts ourselves, but it hurts everyone else who hears those lies when we repeat them.

and they repeat those same lies, not knowing how much it hurts, and pretty soon you have fabricated public opinion. mass media only speeds up the process.

i said "ow!" and they told me to shut up, they would rather believe the lies than admit how much they have contributed to perpetuating the pain.

you are responsible for the words you use that hurt. accusing me of hurting you by pointing that out is not fair, but it is symptomatic of the abuses we have all endured living in this society that is based upon control rather than on any kind of real freedom.

now tell me again about this imaginary good government that is gonna come save us from the bad government. do you think i haven't already heard it a thousand times before?

"but this time it's different" .... yeah, we heard that before, too.

i am a refugee in my fathers' land

so they told me i was a christian. i asked what does that mean? they said it means you believe in what the bible says. so i read the bible myself, and i didn't agree with it. and decided i was not a christian. and they told me i was an american. i asked what does that mean? they said it means you agree to obey the law in return for being allowed to live here. so i read the law, and i didn't agree with that, either.

control and a spiritual heirarchy

(originally posted 3 january, 2010)

shall we call it goodthink?
the belief in some sort of higher consciousness...

i'm not buying it

go ahead, tell me i'm wrong
quote your favorite guru
you have no thoughts but the ones put there by authority
and you are allowed no option but to blindly obey
you attack anyone who threatens the safety of your herd
because you know, deep down inside, you are afraid

indoctrination into any belief system is spiritual abuse
no matter the religion
they all rest upon threats of punishment
should anyone question the authority
that claims the right to tell us what to think

it is the nature of the brainwash program
to deny that it exists
you cannot heal from abuse
if you deny it ever happened

just because we have all been horribly abused
is no excuse for doing the same to anyone else
we can heal, we can make it stop
but not if we look to any group or leader to do for us
that which we are too afraid to do for ourselves

doesn't matter

it might be today
and if it's not today
it might be some other day
doesn't really matter
not really
doesn't change what already was
and sometimes i cry
and sometimes i don't
doesn't matter

gratitude

gratitude for the inner voice,
there's something inside me that knows truth from lies,
and it doesn't really matter what anyone else says.
but the things they say do hurt, sometimes a lot.
when people assume some kind of authority,
to tell me what i should be thinking, how i should feel,
what i should do. who i should be
...that hurts most of all.
they call it helping, but it doesn't help.
i don't need to be more like them.
there's nothing wrong with being me.

grateful to be me
thank you

friendstacy rants on non-violence

(from sep 12 of this year)

"non-violence" historically refers to passive-aggressive methods of control, not to any kind of real peace. to call them "peacemakers" these men who make psychological war against entire nations of people, is an offense against all my sensibilities.
and even with the contradictions staring you in the face, yet you still cling to the lies.

if you didn't have the power of the group standing behind the things you say, would it still have any meaning? would you could you stand up for the things they tell you to believe, the things you claim are true? are you a human, or are you simply a parrot who has been trained to repeat fancy words?
(i shouldn't say that, parrots deserve more respect than that.)
would you could you stand up, alone, for the things you say you believe are true?
or can you only offer fancy quotes, things other people told you to believe?

grouplings are cowards and bullies
of course, it is in the programming that they must deny that is so.

can you imagine the ruckus that would ensue as a result of bullies admitting they are cowards? why, they would have to stop treating people like shit, wouldn't they? and then what would be left of government and war and religion and all those nasty things that go along with being part of a group???

why, people might actually set themselves free! oh goodness gracious, they can't let that happen!

culture is what grows in a petri-dish

culture is what grows in a petri-dish

it's a terrible infectious disease.
it makes people think they are somehow
better than other folks.

combined with groupthink,
it creates the belief that what is different
is wrong or bad
or maybe even evil.

once you group up, you are at risk of infection.
nobody is immune.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Babel
and the war-god didn't want people to get along, so he scrambled their speech that they couldn't talk to each other, and the different groups fought each other and created war "for god and country" and the war-god was pleased, and rewarded those who were most destructive.

or so the story goes...

***

hanging a dream catcher on your wall doesn't make you native american. wearing feathers in your hair or t-shirts with wolves on them doesn't make you native american, either. long hair, brown skin, ceremonies, none of those things makes anyone native american either. it's either in your blood, or it isn't. and there's nothing you can do about that. be yourself.

likewise, cutting your hair and wearing a suit and tie and going to work for the man doesn't make anyone white.

just stop already with the us versus them crap. we are all in this together, every last one of us. which group you gonna try to put me in? give that a good long think. the line that divides doesn't even exist. it's all bullshit.

guru song

false premises only very rarely lead to true conclusions.
false logic, rhetoric, is meaningless and void.
some people will say anything
they think you want to hear
if there's something they want from you.

beware the feel-good bullshit
and the pushers who peddle it

you don't have to like my song
i don't need anyone to sing along
nor anyone to tell me i'm wrong

brainwash

mindrape would be a better word
but it would hurt people's feelings
people don't like to hear any mention
not so much that they have been subject to such abuse
but the idea that they have done it to other people
to violate a person's innermost sanctuary
their personal subjective thoughts
unthinkable!

what social contract?

does your membership in the group
define who you really are?
or is it a substitute
for making your own decisions
regarding what you should do
and who you should be?
who gets to decide?
do you really want
someone else deciding for you?

on capital punishment

we all know the courts are rigged. we all know the same government that writes the law doesn't have to obey their own laws. the law says don't kill. so the government kills people, to prove to us that the law doesn't apply to them.

you have government writing the laws, government employees enforcing those laws with violence, intimidation, threats, and you have government paying the judges, the prosecution, and the public defense attorneys. conflict of interest? what else would you call it?

the troll war continues

emotional triggers serve to turn off reason. troll attacks are intended to provoke reaction, rather than thought. their arguments are not based upon any kind of logic at all. likewise with political debate, most of their arguments fail to stand up to any kind of logic, but they can be most persuasive in convincing people of things they might not otherwise believe to be true (through the same use of emotional triggers)

so yes, it is my opinion that internet trolls are the lowest scum on earth, along with politicians and lawyers who use words and twisted half-truths as weapons.

but it doesn't matter what i think of them. what matters is what they are saying, and why are they saying such things? are they trying to stir shit? are they just out to upset people? are they paid by big brother to do so? lots and lots of questions, and the answers would be different for each different situation.

i've stepped in that shit too many times to wittingly do it again on purpose. i know what happens. they invite their troll friends to come gang up on me, because groupthink means they win if nobody will stand against them.

friendstacy rants on brainwashed political activists

programmed people are too predictable

by joining the group, you set yourself up against some other group. if they are familiar with the program you are running, this gives them a great advantage in that they can predict quite accurately what your next move will be.

strength is nowhere to be found in numbers. strength, any real meaningful strength is found by being true to yourself, even if that means going against the group.
especially that.

selling bullshit

rule number one in global domination, anyone who disagrees with the people in charge (in our world, the ones with lots and lots of money, the kind of money that can create public opinion and sell it through the mass media) must be crazy. attack them. never answer any of their questions, just call them names. whatever horribleness you can think of to call them.

and then rule number two comes into play: threaten them with whatever you think they fear most, should they continue to refuse to submit to whatever higher authority you want them to obey.

back to rule number one: if they aren't afraid, like they should be, they must be insane. never ever admit that anything they say makes any sense, because then you too will be subject to rule number two.

rule number three in global domination: never use logic, always trust in persuasive rhetoric and play on emotions because then you got people where you want them, afraid (see rule number two)

rule number four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten: cheat until you win

multi-level marketing pyramid scam

bullshit salesmen abhor anyone
who might want to do their own thinking.
"democracy" means that
whoever convinces the most people
that their shit don't stink
gets to play banker
and control all the other players
who want some of that rose-scented bullshit.

so...
who you gonna vote for?

LOL

forbidden fruit

authority says "trust me"
and teaches you to doubt,
to fear that which you don't know...
you are given options
told to pick one, or else...
there are limitless possibilities
but to see them is heresy
to speak of anything not officially approved,
forbidden!

‎"you are either with us or you are against us"
said the idiot puppet with drool running down his chin.
and the mouthbreathers all replied "yes we can"

newsflash! you can't influence people's beliefs. you can, with cunning use of lies and rhetoric and flowery language, convince people who have no beliefs of their own to agree with yours.

he is not gone (a poem for father's day)

well, i think you are wrong.
*my* daddy never went to heaven.
he's right here and he always will be.
he is in my blood,
and he is in my children's blood.
and everytime i look at my children,
i can see him in them.

how sad for you that your dead people hated living here
so much that they leave and never come back
my daddy is with the ancestors now.
maybe you can't hear the voices of your ancestors
like i do, but they are in you, too.
in your blood.
if you are afraid to see yourself, who you really are,
you will never ever know your ancestors.
because they are you.

waxing poetic

i am a poet who sings about freedom. you don't have to like my song, it isn't very pretty. i never asked anyone to sing along with me. you have your own song to sing. if you would stop chanting the mindless chorus that is manufactured opinion created through propaganda, you might hear it, your own song, inside yourself.

the troll war

well, if war is all about spending resources to create debt...
i guess that's what they are doing
it seems so pointless, the cyber war going on right now
but if it's just to spend money
paying people big bucks just to stir shit online
well, that almost starts to make sense
in a very very sick sort of way
that i'm not sure i want to understand more clearly

on current events in egypt

i've not said much about the news. we'll have to see what happens. if fox news was correct in reporting the riots were connected to al-quaida, then we know it's all a cia/tavistock covert operation to trick the people, as per plato's script that keeps repeating, with the notion of a good government to save them from the bad government. but we know that never really works, does it? it never has. it never will. the winner will write history, and that history will make their side the good guys, and the other side the bad guys. that's how it always plays out. and since it's a flawed system, it will surely collapse, and the new "good guys" will write their version of history, and nothing ever really changes.

but, just maybe, the people are ready for freedom. gosh, i sure hope so. i hope egypt proves me wrong, and stops following the script and living the lives chosen for them by authority. i do believe it's possible. we shall just have to wait and see...

i don't do business that way

fuck you, credit card company! you phone on sunday morning, with your caller id blocked, asking for me by my first name which means you obviously don't know me (not even my doctor calls me by my first name) and then you want me to verify to you who i am? uh, no. that just isn't right and i'm not playing your stupid game.

look, here's the deal

i want the war to stop. i want the shooting and bombing and killing to stop, that's only part of the war being waged against humanity. i want the unending stream of propaganda every fucking where you look to stop, that's part of the same war. i want the economic terrorism and financial abuses to stop. what are all those things if not war? just stop it already. the system we have is not ever going to work but for the few at the top of the heirarchies, all the little heirarchies that feed into the bigger global conspiracy talk stuff. all that conspiracy talk, it's real. we all know that by now. we know government doesn't work. we know there is no good government. period. we know all this now. the internet has granted us access to information which was previously very hard to come by. okay, so what are we gonna do about it, now that we know all these things we didn't know before? i'm not settling for anything less than peace, no more war. don't give me some watered-down perfumed lipstick-on-a-pig dictatorship while the war wages on like what fooled so many previous generations, i'm not with that. we know better than that now.
