Dear Mister Clown Comedian President Z

Threatening more war never brings peace. Never did. Never will. Threats are themselves voilence by definition. Peace is not even the ceasefire you demand, peace would be a total lack of violence. But we aren't supposed to think that. We are supposed to get behind the war that the uber wealthy are selling, because war is most effective in transferring the world's wealth and resources from the poor to the rich. Rah rah rah go get 'em boys!

I'm not buying it.

"tolerance"

some things cannot be rationalized
because there's nothing rational about it
it doesn't matter what you might say
your mockery doesn't change it
maybe you can't hear the music
doesn't mean there is no reason
for them to dance...

besides, it's just more divisive rhetoric
pitting you against all them others
who don't think you should decide for them
because their faith isn't up to you
nor is it up for public debate
being a personal relationship with the divine
even if you don't have one
maybe they really do
and who are you to say they're wrong?

i think i'll call this one "tolerance"
because that is what they call it, i think
when people don't act like shitheads to each other
for being different from what you think
is the right way to be.

you don't get to decide for them.

divide and conquer

driving divisive rhetoric home
with emotional mindwash
so nobody will notice
political agenda at the wheel

be afraid...
there's always something
they want you to fight
join the group...
because you can't have war
without picking sides
fight the evil...
instead of working together
to solve any real problems

"you are either with us or you are against us"
how dare you not join the party! heretic!
off with her head!

july 4 annual rant

not quite sure how your professed religion of love fits in with your celebration of war today. if you wanna send out some love, send it to everyone who has been beaten down and oppressed for your illusion of freedom and superiority, send it to the soldiers that are dropping bombs on folks who never did anything wrong but to be poor and live in an area rich with resources that those in control of our government want, send it to the politicians who send those soldiers off to kill somehow thinking "thou shalt not kill" doesn't apply to them and their armies. maybe send the most love to yourself, so that you might heal from the mindrape inflicted upon all citizens of such a "free" society that allows you to not only accept such abuses, but to defend them.

liberty

war is the expenditure of resources, including human lives (the best and the strongest healthy young men), to create debt with which to enslave the masses to the war machine through taxes. that's the part the history teachers leave out. they don't tell you about how war is the fastest way of transferring the world's wealth from the poor to the rich. armed conflict isn't the only kind of war that is waged by us, against us and our planet, but it is the showiest and the scariest and is relentlessly marketed to the masses as something "for the greater good"

to organize
and pick sides
is to join the war
rather than resisting it.
and it doesn't matter
which side
thinks they won,
when it's about war,
everyone loses.

blaspheme

day and night
don't fight
they take turns

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.

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...

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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
