ready for peace? freedom!

...a better brainwash program will never bring peace. but when authority talks about "peace" what they really mean is submission, and they are starting to realize how ineffective physical violence is, so they will try some nicer, more acceptable abuses, until they realize that won't work either, and that humans have an instinct towards freedom that cannot ever ever be destroyed. 

happy thanksgiving

happy thanksgiving, everyone! it reminds us how there's enough for everyone when we share, when we aren't greedy and selfish and think the world owes us something.

apparently there are those who would tell me how i should feel, that this day should remind me of the attempted destruction of everything i love and believe in. they want me to be angry, and to pick their side, and fight somebody else's war. but there's no sense in that. not on thanksgiving. that's not what it's about, that's not what it was ever about, and if they would stop listening to the bullshit being programmed into their heads, and start listening to the spirits of their own ancestors, which is in their blood, they would know truth from lies, and there would be no reason for war.

thanks giving means you give thanks. this is how i pray. i don't ask the gods for favors, i thank them for the blessings i have received (even the ones that sometimes look more like a curse). it is important to me to do this, not just one day a year, but every day. but this one day a year i do get to share this practice with you all who might pray different than i do. thank you, all y'all.  ♥

BULL-FUCKING-SHIT!

sometimes one expletive just isn't enough.

they know that war only serves to transfer all the world's wealth from the poor to the rich. they know that creates debt, which enslaves all of us to the war machine. they know that we wouldn't need to demand rights from the government had they not already taken our freedom away. they know that freedom of religion never applied to anybody but christians, and freedom of speech never applied to anyone who didn't agree with the government. i know they know.

the same players are playing both sides against each other

violent revolution serves only to build a new system of control when the old one fails (as a flawed system is always doomed to fail), so the game never ends.  but we don't have to do it that same way again.

status

they will tell you exactly 
whatever they think you wanna hear.
you will eat it up faithfully, 
obediently without question.

humpty bumpty sat on a wall
puffed up big for to take the fall
from up there, couldn't believe what he saw
the shame prevented him from telling us all

why are they always telling us what to think?

if people started thinking for themselves, 
that would put all the people-programmers 
out of business. they don't want that to happen, 
they do tend to make lots of money telling you 
what to think. so there's backlash, 
much more urgent programming, 
when people show any signs of life. 
they want you to be afraid. don't let that stop you.

divisive rhetoric is not debate, no matter how many times they call it that

government is nothing more than words on paper, written by liars and thieves. does anyone really expect us to believe that it matters which liar wins the race to nowhere? or do they just expect us to be afraid and stay quiet, don't think too much about it, and go back to work. 

how much money have they spent on this election campaign? and they talk about caring about people? if they really cared about people, couldn't they come up with better ways of spending all that money? 

just because we have all been fooled does not make us fools. what makes us fools is if we continue to let it happen again and again and again.

worth the effort

dig deep,
the truth is buried
under all that BS
somewhere. 

the bigger the pile of crap,
the more they must want
to keep the truth hidden
from us all.

more pride

you don't have to be seen in church 
to be a good christian.
and you don't have to be a christian 
to be a good person.
and you sure don't have to hate on christians, 
then call yourself tolerant.
belonging to any particular group 
does not make you better than them.

why do i hear a chorus of 
"but we really are better than them" 
ringing in my ears?

we have to believe that our group is superior, 
or else there's no reason to be in it. 
and if we aren't in the group, 
that makes us like them other ones 
who aren't in the group, the bad guys.

or would you rather i post more bob dylan songs 
so you can hear the words 
without listening to what he's trying to say?  

more ignore ants

it's called an emotional trigger
and it serves to turn off your brain
you don't have to let it work

there are other options
besides control or be controlled
but to speak of them is heresy
unthinkable! not allowed.

emotions are not your enemy
to be conquered and controlled
it is okay to be human, to feel
without being controlled

but we aren't supposed to say that
some might call it "negative" thinking
or a sin, or something
to do your own thinking for yourself

you aren't allowed to tell people to think
you are only allowed to tell people what to think

and the easiest way to do that,
to tell people what to think
is to make use of emotional triggers
because that turns off their brains  

grouplings

we have to believe that our group is superior, or else there's no reason to be in it. and if we aren't in the group, that makes us like them other ones who aren't in the group, the bad guys.



...
and if you aren't in the group, who is gonna tell you what decisions to make? and if nobody is telling you what to do, uh....
and if nobody is telling you what to do, then you can't blame anybody else...
and if you can't blame anybody else, there wouldn't be any shame. and if there weren't any shame, there wouldn't be any pride. and if it weren't for pride, we would have no reason to belong to the group anymore...

oooops!

pride and prejudice, status and privilege

the winners of war write history
and they make themselves the good guys
and the other guys they make the bad guys
but those other ones
they didn't think they were the bad guys
such twisted history creates shame
because abuse demands that you blame
somebody else...

dance! sing! let your voice be heard (repost)

just because *you* can't hear the tune
doesn't mean there is no music at all

and those who question the official doctrine
are branded as heretics
and their words are censored
lest anyone hear what they are trying to say
and start to question authority.
and the fear that binds
is enforced through threats
of whatever might do the trick:
you will be kicked out of the group,
you will be alone, unhappy,
or suffer eternal damnation
should you not repent and beg forgiveness
for the sin of doing your own thinking.

how to control people and rule the world

1) divide people up into groups,
2) set those groups to fighting each other.
3) collect taxes from them all to pay for it.

it takes two eyes to have depth perception

the right eye
doesn't fight
with the left
over which image
to believe is true
they work together
instead.

we don't have to agree.
maybe we just see things
a little different,
from different perspectives.

you don't speak for me

they have bajillions of dollars to advertise their political campaign. why are you doing it for free? are you being paid for your opinion?

and couldn't they think of better ways of spending all that money, IF they really wanted to help people?

if their opinion is bought and paid for and if they don't really want to help people, how can you say any of them represents you?

be here now? forgive and forget? i don't think so

the past follows you where ever you go.

you can't see where you are going
if you don't know where you have already been. 

denial never made any of the bad stuff go away. 
it's when you stop denying it 
that you can make it stop.

thinking only positive thoughts 
and not looking to the past
is a trick to keep you in your place.

demand a better future
it's your right

follow the leader

you aren't using it.
might as well
sell your soul
to the devil.

but don't tell me
what to do
with mine.

programmed people are too predictable

so the policy makers
they tell the media
what to tell us to think
then they tell the law makers
what to tell us to do

if you control people's minds
you don't have to worry so much
about controlling their actions
that's already taken care of
ahead of time

quoting myself

group people up, set those groups to fighting each other, and the war never ends.

fear and war

war is not peace
slavery is not freedom
propaganda is not truth

and we still aren't allowed
to talk honestly about brainwash
because people are still afraid.
if they weren't afraid,
it wouldn't still be working.

peace, y'all

last friday...

law is discriminatory by nature. it is how the dominant group rewards themselves and punishes those who are different.

laws don't prevent crimes, laws create criminals.



if somebody wants to shoot a theatre full of people, do you really think it matters to him if there's a law against him having a gun?


but most of the people committing heinous acts against humanity aren't breaking the law, they are working for the lawmakers.

just doin' they job

reruns (from my old blog at gaia)

independence? WTF?!!
Posted on Jul 4th, 2009 by boogie : anarchist boogie
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 04, 2009:

in 1776, a bunch of rich white guys got together, see. and they made a contract with some other rich white guys on the other side of the ocean, see. and they signed this contract between themselves, giving them authority to control people's lives. but i didn't sign that contract. i wasn't there. my ancestors didn't sign that contract, either. they were deliberately left out of the proceedings altogether. but somehow, everyone thinks it's binding. it don't even obey it's own rules!

so we had this here "revolutionary war" (which is really strange, as both "sides" instead of fighting each other, were simply killing off the natives in vast quantities to clear the land for exploitation). and this war created a huge debt. and this debt enslaved the population to the banks, and to the very king they claimed "independence" from!

wait! what the fuck was the question again? hahahaha
"independence" is a joke, but it's not very funny. it's one of those words that means the exact opposite what we are told it means. like liberty, and justice, and rights. it's a trick. a con. maybe that's why they call it the CONstitution?

if all my friends had to agree with my political views, i wouldn't have any!

you can't reasonably expect government to ever solve the problems that its existence creates.

you *can* deny the real cause of the problem and focus in on medicating the symptoms, but that won't ever make anything any better.

you *can* deny the past, live in the now, and forgo choosing your own future, but that won't ever make anything any better, either.

a new improved better brainwash program won't solve the problems of having a brainwashed society. and there is no good government that will ever come to save us from the bad government. there never was, and there never will be. 

ignorance is no excuse, and denial don't make it right

ignore-ants fucking up my world, living in fear, thinking only good thoughts, never choosing for themselves, always following the leader, denying truth in favor of pretty-sounding bullshit...

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

threats and intimidation
are the only weapons bullies have.
those threats only work
to control and manipulate us
if we become afraid.

fear, shame, denial

so the farther up the pyramid you go,
the more they know about what's really going on,
which would create more shame on them for doing it,
which keeps them from saying anything about it.

the wardens live in the same prison as the rest of us, 
they just get rewarded with status and special privileges 
we don't get.

ad hominem

i heard somebody talkin' smack about me again
it's not the first time and it won't be the last
people who know me know it's not true
and those who don't know me
...why should they care?

poetry

BE AFRAID
JOIN THE GROUP
FIGHT THE EVIL

suckers

they are playing you all 
like pawns in their game. 
you don't even rank 
as high as a bishop, 
and they sacrifice them 
all the time. 
you are just a number.

mindsplit

religion built a wall
inside your head
of bricks made
from doubt and fear.

and the miracles
and the angels
all the other magic too
hid behind it.

and you can pretend
those things aren't real
so you can go to work
not knowing.

be afraid.
do not question.
know your place.
play the role chosen for you.
obedient slave!

bullshit

i fucking hate bullshit
and the stupid fucking games
that some fucking people play
even after they been called on it
that fucking sucks

poetry

they torture the righteous
and after they die
turn them into heroes
dead heroes
instead of honoring
the ones who are still here
they torture them too
hoping they'll die
so they can become
a new dead hero

and who gets to decide?
those who were too afraid
to make the torture stop
when they had the chance
those who remained silent
to the point they forgot
they even have a voice at all

and what are they deciding?
to let the abuse continue
to let fear rule the world
to sell their soul
for what might be
what they think they want now
and let somebody else decide
what the future will be

the future is not ours
it belongs to the children
let them decide

domesticated people

they don't know any better.
they think it's helping
when they try to break your spirit.
they don't know any better.
and if you try to tell them
that's when they get mad.
they don't know any better.
they seem to think that everyone
should want to be just like them.
they don't know any better.

brainwash U

who gets to decide?
that's always the important question
according to plato, the state does
because we aren't capable
of deciding for ourselves
and according to plato
it is our education
that prevents us from being able
to decide for ourselves
which enables government rule
it's all in there, in the republic
especially in the parts they skip
the teachers who are in charge of our education
they don't want us reading that bit

be at peace my dear friend

poem for dave
by friendstacy

threats and intimidation are the only weapons bullies have.
those threats only work to control and manipulate us if we become afraid.

it's all the same,
whether it's the government and their armies.
the bankers and their money.
the church and their divine punishment, hell, or karma.
the courts and their laws.

they demand obedience, OR ELSE!
cowards.

only cowards could support a system based upon fear.
a system based upon threats and intimidation,
punishments and rewards,
a system designed to prevent people
from thinking for themselves
and making their own decisions.

it was real hard to talk about things
that disagreed with the mass mind-control propaganda,
the so-called "public opinion" created by media
and schools and churches
and all the other abusive institutions of societal control.
but dave wasn't afraid.
i'm not afraid anymore.
thanks dave!

respect the earth

all land is sacred...
maybe not to those
whose religions preach
a better somewhere else
after you die.
respect the earth
and those of us who love her.
is that too much to ask?

war is not peace

war does not secure freedom of any kind.
what war does is expend resources
(destroy land, use up money,
burn fuel, kills people)
to create debt. debt is slavery,
in this example it takes the form of taxes.

war is *not* peace
slavery is *not* freedom
and propaganda is not truth

...
and sometimes i cry
and sometimes i don't

pain

pain is your body's way of telling you something is wrong. medicating the symptoms won't ever address the cause, neither will ignoring it or pretending it isn't so bad.

when i was in constant chronic pain, i had no idea what a pain-free life would be like, but i had to believe it could happen before i could make it happen.

propaganda

standard format for people programming: tell them what they want to hear, puff them up, tell them they are smarter or somehow better than other people because they believe x, y, z... then even if they don't agree with y and z they won't admit that because they did agree with x and they want to think they are in the winning group, superior to the losers in that other group.

use vague meaningless words, or just make up new words

threaten them with whatever you think they fear most should they choose not to go along with whatever the group demands of them.

...

problem is, once you start to recognize the brainwash techniques, you notice that it's everywhere.

the key to the future

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copperhill,_Tennessee (you'll have to check the link after their little protest thing) ...because i'm sick of hearing lopsided news all the time. this is the world i see. when i was a little girl, copperhill was the deadest place i had ever seen, not a single living thing, no plants, nothing. it's green there now. i remember used to be there was piles of old tires on the banks of creeks and streams, mountains of garbage on the side of the road was not an unusual site to see. it's not there anymore, everything is green. there are birds of prey inhabiting my suburbian neighborhood. never saw them around here back then either. big fat healthy birds. tell me again how the world is supposed to end? do you really believe that?

but that's no excuse for them to keep cutting down all the trees. f*ing idiots never heard of easter island?

‎(friendstacy said before)
the sad thing is that people believe (quote) "The sad thing is that this used to be "the land of the free and the home of the brave".

it never was. what people can't see is how things really are getting better. while the image being presented through media etc is becoming more real, making it look like it's getting worse.

hey i know some of y'all remember that oily slime that would float on top of the water in the river? sure, the ag runoff is real nasty and you can't see it, but it used to be so much worse. things are getting better.

healing happens when you take away the stuff that hurts. healing happens in its own time. you can't force it, you can't make it happen, but you can stop doing things that prevent healing from happening. that is your choice.

just look... see things the way they are and not the way the propaganda machine thinks you should see. it's very exhausting, to plow through the BS constantly, because it is everywhere. but you do have eyes of your own and a mind of your own, too. use them wisely. they are the key to your future, and if you aren't using that key, who is?
