patience

memories
of things
yet to come
for you
the rules
don't count
time goes
out of order

you didn't really want to hear what i think, you just wanted to tell me i'm wrong

so crawl
back into your box
your deep dark hole
where you feel safe
where even the very idea
of freedom is banned
not allowed a voice
and cutting down trees
is called progress
because you can make
more boxes with them
so nobody is free, ever
and you can tell yourself
it's for their own good

why do rich people like to sit around and talk about what poor people need?

healing happens.

you can't make healing happen.
but you can stop doing things
that prevent healing from happening.

we don't need any more answers 
and solutions that don't work.
what we really need

is to ask better questions.

the trophy

someone left it
on the ground
in the park,
made of latex
and full of goo,
one fine morning
there were two!

yesterday

how about, instead of supporting more institutions that serve to indoctrinate the youth into control-based society, we start supporting the mothers whose job is to care for them? how about, instead of sending those institutionalized youth off to prison when they make bad decisions, we start asking ourselves what happened to them that disabled their decision-making abilities in the first place? when do we stop coming up with solutions that never work because we aren't asking the right questions?

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!

well.... bless your heart

i'm sorry all your heroes hated women
maybe they weren't all that, after all.
i'm sorry all your favorite books suck
because the female characters are flat
dull boring lifeless two-dimensional
or maybe just pure evil.
and i'm real sorry you think i should agree
that these things are acceptable
because they really aren't.

not to anyone in particular

so is your friend
able to think for himself?
who does he work for?
the ministry of misinformation?
or does he just get his opinion
straight from propaganda outlets?
reading his remarks
made me feel like winston smith.
next thing you know
he'll be threatening us with rm101...

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"

rights and liberties are piss-poor substitutes for freedom

words on paper
permission to be
a face in the crowd
a voice in the chorus
singing the praises
of privileges granted
by words on paper

giving thanks, every day

the control game self-destructs. 

the system is tearing itself apart.
rejoice!

as the system rips itself apart, 

more and more people 

are selling 

more and more fear 

in a last ditch attempt 

to maintain control. 

we don't have to live our lives 

defined by other people's fears.

those who are afraid will manifest their own worst nightmares as reality. we don't have to follow along on their bad trip.

because...

when we allow ourselves to be led,
we don't get to choose where we are going.

it's up to us. all of us. each of us.

Monday at 1:02pm 

yesterday's facebook rant

when people allow themselves to be led, they don't get to decide where they are going.

i dreamt about giving birth last night. twice, two different/same dreams about having a baby. not a reliving of my own two very different birth experiences, something different. but like the birth of my second daughter attended by midwives at the hippie farm, these not-my-births were so very empowering. and i woke up with the realization that is what frightens people (the men who are in charge of hospitals and governments and armies and such) the most about natural childbirth, that a woman, even a teeny tiny little woman like myself, can do such a thing and not only live through it, but actually want to do it again. their power only comes from their size, or their wealth, but not from any inner fortitude. that's what frightens them. that is why we are a threat, to be beaten down into submission. because unleashed, what might that kind of power do? they are afraid, and don't realize real power isn't about hurting other people. so they puff themselves up, to appear larger, stronger, more powerful by the standard definition, to compensate for all that fear eating them up inside. that's what i think.

i think bullies are cowards. i think the fear is what makes them dangerous, because strong emotional triggers serve only to turn off the brain.

no matter how big and dumb you are, no matter how many guns you have, you can't command the continuance of the human species. that is up to the women. that frightens them, too. so they call it "murder" to decide not to have a baby, etc. and they treat pregnant women like inmates and hospitals are run like prisons, all just to dehumanize the women, to put us in our place, beneath them.

untitled

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.

heresy

anything is possible
nothing is certain

control or be controlled
are not the only options

without belief in a one-world-religion, the people are not going to buy a one-world-government.

those who can only see their reflection are effectively blind.

it is the nature of the brainwash program to deny that it even exists. because once you recognize the attempt to control your mind, it doesn't work anymore.

............
 
religion is the objectification of spiritual experience, which is purely subjective. as such, it is a flawed model, inacurrately reflecting what is true, and not truth itself. models can be useful, but not when they get confused with that which they are reflecting. even the most perfect mirror can only give you an ass backwards reflection of what is real.

 and like all the other models, religion, government, social structure, all of them, they are all about control, and do not factor freedom into the equation. freedom throws it all out the window, if people were to decide for themselves.... well, then all those people who make it their job to decide for everyone else would be out of work.

assimilate and die

(from monday, may 20, 2013, originally posted at facebook)

 

historically, the goal of authority has always been to substitute your subjective decision-making ability with objective law. if people don't believe in their own inner wisdom, it might as well not even exist. this is how you rule the world, through fear.
some even go so far as to deny there is any subject. we are all one (hive mind, borg)

 

...

people who are never allowed to make any decisions for themselves never learn how to make good decisions, keeps them dependent upon authority to tell them what to do.

 

they fear freedom because it isn't predictable. freedom would open up a world of infinite possibility, and those who seek the power to control (as well as those who have been beaten into submission by those control freaks) are too afraid to see what a wonderful thing that would be!

 

their fears will manifest their own worst nightmares as reality. that's gotta suck for them, real bad. you think they'd figure it out, but the fear prevents any rational thought from happening.

 

...

they start off by creating shame, by saying all people are basically evil and need to be controlled, or else horrible things will happen... (fear of freedom)

 

but every mother knows that babies aren't born evil. evil things have to happen to them to make them be that way. so women are targeted, as being the most evil, and need to be controlled most of all.

if it ain't free, it ain't freedom

"war is peace" etc.
paradox? or mindsplit?

(see also: cognitive dissonance)

you guru friend
not guru, wannabe
is full of shit.

but you already knew
what i think about that.

we weren't born
to obey the rules.
we were born
to live our life
our own lives
not The One
someone else
chose for us.

(monday, may 20, 2013)

blaspheme

day and night
don't fight
they take turns

poetry

i don't believe in atheism
but that doesn't mean
it might not be true, for you

a world of infinite possibility

the meaning of life
is that you get to decide
what your life means.
there are no wrong answers,
except the ones other people tell you.
*and* you get to change your mind
at any time for any reason.

smoke and mirrors

thoughts exist.
before the words.
words reflect thought.
they are not thoughts.
they are just words.
an imperfect mirror, at best.


we wrap ourselves
in the comfort of the mirror-world
created by the language
that has been engineered
to make us want to stay
inside the funhouse,
looking at twisty reflections
of what is real,
afraid to break free.

true believers

what every religion preaches,
and what most people who call themselves religious forget,
is for you to listen for the voice of god within your own heart,
and to place no other voice above it.
if you aren't doing that, you're doing it wrong.

you have a direct line.
you don't need anyone to interpret or translate the message.
it speaks for itself.

the heart is the vessel, the cup, the holy grail.
they went looking in all the wrong places
for something they already had all along. 

just because we've all been fooled doesn't make us fools. what makes us fools is if we keep letting it happen over and over again.

rebel yell

the followers must follow
mindlessly.
diluting the message,
watering it down
making it near meaningless.
this allows the organizers
to organize,
to be in charge,
manifesting more control
rather than the freedom
proclaimed by the rallying cry.






been there done that before
let's try something different
this time

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?

thunder

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.
