Spike Lee's history lesson represents the worst of exploitative falsifications. There was NO student girlfriend. No CC Black Student Union contact. There was NO BOMB whatsoever. And Detective Ron Stallworth's white partner was NOT Jewish. And guess what: His phone calls with David Duke are uncorroborated. So that leaves what truth exactly? Stallworth's pretend surrogate made at most 2-3 undercover contacts with clan members, tops. I’m guessing because many local cops were in the Klan. And if his partner was indeed asked to lead the chapter, it was likely BECAUSE he was a fellow cop. The film pretends that the Colorado Springs police were against racists, and harbored only one bad apple. Fat chance. Conveniently for Stallworth's narrative, the CSPD chief shut down the investigation and ordered all evidence destroyed. Stallworth did receive a Klan membership card in the mail. Stallworth WAS on the security detail for the David Duke visit. Stallworth says the snapshot scene happened, but he LOST the Polaroid! Actually, most of Stallworth’s own claims cannot be verified. Two NORAD clansmen WERE identified, but merely transferred to Alaska. Meanwhile, as a black plainclothes detective in Colorado Springs, Stallworth went undercover in groups PROTESTING the clan. Of course. Ron Stallworth spent his career infiltrating black communities and gangs, in Colorado and Utah. In my experience as an activist, the cops often use black undercovers because victims can’t out them without being seen as racist. I can also attest to the racism in today's CSPD. The Klan's most recent incarnation, known as THE MINUTEMEN, only a few years ago, did their recruiting from A CSPD POLICE SUBSTATION. The Minutemen want enthousiasts who can patrol the southern border to shoot Mexicans. Only whites with gun permits need apply. So-said the sergeant making the pitch. Basically Spike Lee glamorized cops without regard to violating the public right of assembly. Lee broadly chose to blame Trump for a resurgence of racist violence, without pondering the question his own film raises about police infiltration and police instigation of violence. I’d say Spike Lee made a BLUE LIVES MATTER joint, at the expense of Black lives, rights, and liberation.

Update of the Greeley Murder charges. A whole lot of racism…
What's missing is the Standard 'conservative' Alt-White Extremists usual behavior of screaming and streaming and steaming about how we should deport, murder or imprison for life any and all of the people in the ethnic origin of the defendant... you know, somebody like SUSPECTED drunk drivers who have automobile accidents wherein the other person, the one who died, as long as the person who died is of Anglo Saxon Protestants and the other guy is NOT. Where's the outcry to deport, detain or decapitate any and all Anglo 'americans'? Explain why that isn't racism. A "mexican" with or without citizenship gets into a traffic accident and the Neo-Nazi Republican morons go all apeshit, foaming at the mouth, screaming like a monkey being sodomized with a shovel, demanding that all "illegal" Non-White people be rounded up and shot.Yes, killing people is tragic. That's not the damn point. I personally don't go around slaughtering people even though the Yankee Government (ROTC and USAF) and paramilitary (Boy Scouts) conditioned me to do so. Regardless of how much somebody needs to be put down. That's the domain of (not limited to) groups like the Tea Party, Minutemen, Military, Police, Judiciary, MAGA freaks, Ku Klux Klan, both major parties in Amerikkka, Nazis, You know the ones, they bray loudly about who they are and how much they hate everybody including themselves. I've learned that beating them up doesn't help either. Hypocrisy, Thy name is Racism. White on White crimes far outnumber any other Ethnic group on White crimes, but you won't get the racist pukes to admit that.
Just when you’ve supposedly seen it all… yes, it’s Trump again.
This will make the Alt-White people scream like a monkey being sodomized with a shovel.Trump promised to Make Ecology Great Again. It's like constipation... 'No Shit' I've a feverish imagination but don't inflict it on civilians. I couldn't make this up if I dropped all my scruples. And took a bunch of drugs. He said it while looking around at the California Fires, the parts where he could stand without being incinerated. Which begs the question, why is this bastard not in a cell awaiting justice? The guy contracted AT GOVERNMENT EXPENSE (taxpayers, not tax and draft dodgers like You Know Who...) to build a 'resort' meaning 'casino' in Puerto Rico and couldn't complete the task. Now, I know he didn't ever put his tiny hands to shovel, hammer or military rifle but he was The Leader/Boss whatever excuses for himself getting more money from 'his' projects than all the people who DID work on 'his' projects... Come on, this guy went bankrupt on CASINOS which are infamous for getting the last laugh consistently. Does any sane person really believe he should be allowed to give his infamous s..t midas touch to all life on our increasingly fragile world? it ties in neatly with the following paragraph. And in the past month he ordered the BLM to give federal lands to 'energy' meaning ONLY fossil fuels. What was quietly not discussed was and still is giving all the Tribal water rights, ordered by the Supreme Court when Roosevelt was president, as being the right and first consideration to the Tribes... 110 years ago and that's Teddy Roosevelt. So the Natives and everybody in America gets to drink mining and oil company waste forever. Trump has crossed a line I would never have thought possible. I could expect and explain it if what was tweeted had been said by somebody in the terminal stages of alcoholism.
A few bright spots…
The recent 'victories' the Ruling Party claim have quite a lot of booby traps. One is for the vote on Kavanaugh, let's play that word "one" a little, shall we? Kava Kaveman got approved with 50 votes. Counting the one abstention from a Republican Senator, and two sellout Dems, and the numbers count has to have been some Republicans voted no. Because there was a numerical unbalance in favor of the Goopers. Just as a start. They're running scared. The Republican elected and running for continuation County Clerk and Recorder Chuck Broerman for instance, is purging voters who are statistically likely to vote Other Than Republican, per the orders given by Trump. He canceled me and Miss Johnnie AFTER we registered our updated ID cards to our new address... Doug Lamborn, Klansman extraordinair, isn't the Republican candidate. Doesn't have anything to do with his legendary hypocrisy about Term Limits. Funny how Term Limits only applies to his opponents, in his one-person universe. So he's going to split the Republican vote. Then there's Standing Rock version 3.1 Drumpf has opened all Public Lands to his Coal/Oil/Fracking cronies at the standard use fee of 1.50 dollars per acre per year... The Oily Bastards aren't the only ones eligible, though... There's an ongoing Water Rights lawsuit which was nominally settled in 1908 in the Supreme Court. 110 Fucking YEARS ago. Native American Tribes are supposedly the first priority for water rights, another Broken Treaty to mollify the councils into agreeing to the Reservation System. Goddamn Teddy Roosevelt was president. BUT... since the obvious motive is to sequester every drop of water in all the watersheds and Give The Oil And Other Treasonous Industries to said Trump Cronies... the most efficient way to do it would be a long line one or two acres wide along every stream lake or river. CrowdFunding to the rescue. Would the thief in the white house allow it? No. BUT he has every woman in America and the entire world well aware that he has declared violence against them to be Legalized. The hand that rocks the cradle, anyone? That's a saying from a time when women were being imprisoned and or KILLED for merely mentioning gaining the vote. The Trumps and Kavanaughs 'killed' the Susan B Anthony dollar coin. Funny how a bunch of crybaby so called "macho" screeching and wailing and wetting themselves in a Hate All Women campaign could actually get that kind of a result in this Enlightened Society. But they did. The only way they got the Sacagawea coin approved was she was obedient to the White Male Masters. Trump, Broerman, Lamborn, Sessions, Kavanaugh, Tim Allen, other Oversized Infant Woman Haters, you BOYS need to call your Mommas and beg their forgiveness. Except you aren't man enough to do that. 500 words and I got all that said. Damn, I am GOOD. Vote. 36% of eligible voters went to the polls. I'll be merciful and say Trump got 41% of that. Hillary, who
Greeley White Man accused of murder, vs A Farm Worker Facing similar charges.
Because the Far White Wing are demonizing the one but not the other. There's no parity there. The Trump Worshipers aren't demanding that White Anglo Saxon Protestants be subjected to arbitrary Mass Deportation, even though White prisoners outnumber the immigrants accused or convicted. You could go to Yahoo News and see the frothing at the mouth fanatics writing all kinds of racist bullshit about the ACCUSED immigrant but there's this:
Shades of Chivington and Ludlow massacres re:homeless PEOPLE
I know what it's like having to camp due to lack of funds or, as is, increasingly, difficulty to even be considered as a tenant unless you're filthy stinking rich, the Fascist definition of it is "gentrification" but is really a probable precursor to Genocide. OK that would entail racism, and everybody in Colorado Springs KNOWS there's no such thing as racial hatred here and never was. Shoot, Chivington, Palmer, Rockefeller, Stanton, Custer, Carson, they just loved Natives to death. Literally. What if the struggling homeless PEOPLE resist being further dispossessed? Are the Colorado Springs Gestapo (pigs, fuzz, heat, dicks, | a real job description given to themselves FROM themselves! and if you don't like it you can line up and take turns helping yourself to a Texas-size All-you-can-eat Buffet of KISS MY LIBERAL ASS! | ahem... Are the police and National Guard and unofficially official militia like the racist fascist lunatic fringe Minutemen, Nazis, Aryan Nation and Ku Klux Klan going to lynch the people whose only "crime" is surviving without your literally God Damned permission? Like your ancestral "heroes" who consistently MURDERED Americans who lived in tents and didn't have a formalized title to the lands we occupied for 12,000 years? That what you coward fascist pukes going to do? Maybe put people into prison for Surviving Without Your God Damned Permission, the prisons being Slave Labor Camps? You going to go straight to the Extermination Camps? Your ancestral "heroes" have already done so and still do. Fascism, racism and capitalism have danced hand-in-hand down the Millennia and they still do. The "ism" part was provided from the Greek language and the Fascism and Capitalism were words the Romans used to describe political-financial-religious institutions, and if you don't believe Capitalism is literally Worship of Money maybe you should read your Bible at least once. (The plural of millennium may be rendered as millennia or as millenniums. I strive for accuracy. Just another service which I provide free of charge. Enjoy) Which brings up a moral issue. Isaiah was quoted by Jesus about the money changers (religious Levite priests who exchanged foreign coins for shekels and charged a fee to do it. When one of the priests asked Jesus about Roman Fascist taxes, hoping to get Jesus lynched by either the Zealots or lynched by the Romans, Jesus asked him if he had the tax money, priest whips one out, Jesus said "Whose {GRAVEN} image and name is on the coin?" and the priest {just as capitalist as the Romans} realized he had just been busted about packing around a Roman Idol representing Caesar who had declared himself to be a god, in the Temple.) Yeah, THAT Jesus. He quoted Isaiah saying "hypocrites, who love to make broad the phylactery and go about in long sleeves, (doing their alms) and saying "give way, give way, for I am better than you!" to be seen of others etc etc ... "who devour the houses of widows and orphans and for a pretense
What’s behind the Churchill adoration?
What's behind the current wave of Churchill-mania? I'm inclined to think it's about rebooting pan-nationalism. Churchill was a hero of WWII, propping up the supposition that WWII was a just war where Churchill led the defense against Fascism. The victors have been embellishing that history since before that capitalist scam began. The latest movie, DARKEST HOUR, presumes to glorify Winston Churchill BE MOFO SOB as England's savior, begging to presume there's no argument it was her darkest hour. Aimed to pull the wool back of the eyes after Britain's improbable moment of clarity about their opportunity to make a BREXIT from the talons of their banker overlords. Churchill was an adventurer and glory-seeker whose every move supported colonialism and imperialism. His first taste of war was on the side of the Spanish as they suppressed independence movement in Cuba. Next he fought the Boers in South Africa. Next opposed labor struggles. He ordered the immolation of Anarchists. He sent death squads to Ireland. He disparaged Indian attempts at sovereignty, suggesting Gandhi should be bound hand and foot and crushed beneath an elephant. He bombed Dresden. He gave Palestine over to Zionists. He held rebellious Kenyan tribes in concentration camps. This was a warmonger war criminal we're praising as one of History's greatest leaders, probably because these are times of war and today's sadists need affirmation their actions will be similarly lionized.
Kimya Dawson knows from where protest must burst: At the Seams.
Kimya Dawson not only nailed the essence of protests for #BlackLivesMatter. She knew in which direction the protest marches needed to push. Toward our system's seams. If you are having trouble finding the lyrics of her song about HANDS UP DON'T SHOOT I CAN'T BREATH, it's because it's called At the Seams. I've taken the liberty to reformat Dawson's brilliant lyrics to unpack her references and simulate her cadence. AT THE SEAMS by Kimya Dawson 1. Left hands hold the leashes and the right hands hold the torches, And Grandpas holding shotguns swing on porch swings hung on porches, And the Grandmas in their gardens plant more seeds to cut their losses, And the poachers, with the pooches and the nooses, preheat crosses. And the pooches see the Grandpas and they bare their teeth and growl, While their owners turn their noses up like they smell something foul, And they fumble with their crosses and they start to mumble curses, And they plot ways to get Grandpas off of porches into hearses. But the Grandpas on the porches are just scarecrows holding toys, And the Grandmas in the gardens are papier-mâché decoys, While the real Grandmas and Grandpas are with all the girls and boys Marching downtown to the City Hall to make a lot of noise, Saying: Hands up. Don’t shoot. I can’t breathe. BLACK LIVES MATTER. No justice No Peace. I know that we can overcome because I had a dream- A dream we tore this racist broken system apart at the seams. 2. Sometimes it seems like we’ve reached the end of the road We’ve seen cops and judges sleep together wearing long white robes. And they put their white hoods up, Try to take the black hoods down, And they don’t plan on stopping til we’re all in the ground. Til we’re dead in the ground or we’re incarcerated ‘Cause prison’s a big business form of enslavement Plantations that profit on black folks in cages They’ll break our backs and keep the wages. It’s outrageous that there’s no place we can feel safe in this nation Not in our cars, Not at the park, Not in subway stations, Not at church, The pool, The store, Not asking for help, Not walking down the street, So we’ve gotta scream and yell: Hands up. Don’t shoot. I can’t breathe. BLACK LIVES MATTER. No justice No Peace. I know that we can overcome because I had a dream- A dream we tore this racist broken system apart at the seams. 3. You tweet me my own lyrics, Tell me to stop Letting a few bad apples ruin the bunch. Don’t minimize the fight comparing apples to cops This is about the orchard's poisoned roots, not loose fruits in a box. Once the soil's been spoiled, the whole crop’s corrupt. That’s why we need the grassroots working from the ground up. And we look to Black Twitter, to stay woke and get some truth, 'Stead of smiling cops and black mugshots from biased corporate news. 'Cause if you steal cigarillos, or you sell loose cigarettes, Or you forget your turn signal, will they see your skin as
American christianity is a cargo cult
Haha I sympathize with this meme. But it applies to the colonized as well as the colonizers. I do tend to fault impoverished people for shackling themselves to church dogma. Religion rationalizes and preserves inequity. Of course this ignores that African American congregations are community centers above everything else. To cast off religion would deprive believers of their whole social fabric. But isn’t that like arguing that slave plantations were more than places of involuntary employment? Obviously tobacco and cotton plantations were the centers of slave communities. To end slavery threatened a slave’s source of everything: sustenance, shelter, family and community. Small wonder most slaves resisted those agitating for abolition. Slave rebellions were always betrayed by fearful slaves. No churches advocated for abolition. Even the civil rights movement a century later, was resisted by African American churches, except for a tiny few associated with MLK. Everyone today pretends to have marched with MLK, even as they admonish their followers to stay in their pews! Ferguson ignited the Black Lives Matter movement despite local preachers incessantly calling for the protests to cease.
Passing Syrian gas attack story by Occam’s Razor: who smelt it, dealt it.
When you're looking for who perpetrated the latest "gas attack" in Syria, you might first ask, who has stockpiles of the stuff? Bashar al-Assad has suspected quantities of chemical weapons, but the US has known riches of the banned material. The same people who keep pointing the finger at Assad are the same cretins who've been trying to ignite a covert war in Syria for decades, who've been unmasked hiring fake lesbian or small-child bloggers to spread propaganda in the Baghdad Blogger mold, long before their phony Arab Spring roll-out, the same agency that spawned al-Qaeda now Isis, the same agents who coordinate arms trades to all parties, the same meatheads who urge a renewed cold war with Russia because Putin nearly brought the Syria conflict to a dead calm, and the same warmongers who've now succeeded with a full-on US deployment! We're supposed to trust the US intelligence crime family about who is using gas against Syrian civilians? Next they'll try to pin US drone victims on Assad. Those numbers are much higher, concealed no doubt in Bashar Assad's stockpiles of budgeted tolerance levels of collateral damage. The complicit war media is now decreeing unanimous outrage, Russia's attempts to shift blame (how's that for loading the question) rejected (by accusers), this atrocity demands a US response! Like Afghanistan, Iraq, Lybia. Like a bunch of kids declaring candy to be universally healthy! Doctors' lies rejected (by children), checkout counter impulse buy must not be thwarted by parent.
Fukishima aka Japan’s Chenyobl… and what does it mean for Colorado?
Well, it's heating up. With the easiest way to measure and describe "radiation" : Heat. Temperature. Caloric Index. Right now it's at the level to actually light concrete on fire. I was going to subtitle The Japan Syndrome but that whole China Syndrome schtick is outdated by several decades. Melt a hole through to China, yeah. So I restrained myself from including it. There's amerikkka's very own ticking time bomb right outside of Dallas. At Glen Rose. You might say, as I sometimes do when I forget to use quantum logic, you know, the core of any unit of mass, time, space and energy being at the same place at the same time (it just seems redundant) and to mangle a line from Huxley, everything belongs to everything else. But I digress. The fastest shorcut not involving quantum theory is there are no significant mountains between here and there. The Rolling Hills, the exact name thereof, is where the reactor is, at Comanche Peak. If you go southwest you have Ranger Peak, the highest geologic feature in Texas east of the Pecos and named after the Texas Rangers, cops not baseball, had an incident with the Comanches in which for a change didn't involve getting the Rangers slaughtered. They're not as bad-ass as they portray themselves. And that's not in the way. The Llano Estacado, "Staked Plains" but they're no barrier. Maybe for riding a horse or walking, but for airborne fallout, nah. And Comanche Peak has started experiencing seismic events. This was discussed when several events happened, Haiti, Fukishima, Deepwater Horizon,and the Upper Big Branch Corporate Mass Murder of 29 miners. All of which, including the Comanche Peak reactor, have ties to Halliburton, Bush and Donald Trump, the Koch family and the Corporate Big Pigs are talking much smack about releasing all of these bastards from the fetters of "unwarranted safety regulations" including and especially for the Fracking companies... who apparently broke the substrate in North Central Texas to the point there is measurable and sometimes palpable (no need to get out your dictionary it's "able to be felt by the human body") earthquake activity all over North Texas. Which the Frackers say is impossible. They simply have to lie. And their Big Pig comrades like Trump and Don Blankenship and Bush and Cheney and Perry and Doug Lamborn and basically their entire rat-bastard families tell us that it's none of our business and included in the proposed destruction of all regulatory measures, they'll have police and courts prosecuting and imprisoning citizens who dare ask for details of what is done to our water, air, basic ability to walk outside without getting radiation poisoning... Just like they've been doing, essentially, only now it's on the way to being official. We'll be prosecuted for exposing or trying to expose THEIR crimes. They all try to act all "tough" and "macho" about it but they're essentially coward bitches who hide behind the Peasant Army and the fascist police and courts. The richest bitches
The Jihad in Mumbai
Some are more familiar with the way the British occupiers pronounced it "Bombay". It's got a huge Muslim presence, so does India in general. Under the British "protectorate" because it's not polite to call them Imperialists anymore. Even though the Queen does still hold the title of Empress. That's beside the point. Under the protectorate Britain called the following "India"; Iran, Pakistan, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka which used to be Ceylon, there's been a lot of name changes, Thailand was Siam until I was 11 years old, you know, and knowing the younger readers think I'm ancient... but no, these changes were pretty much around my lifetime. But there's a Church in Mumbai. No big deal, right? Before the English took possession of the entire region after the Napoleonic wars, we are taught in Merka are used to calling it the War of 1812, which "our" participation was mainly getting stomped by the British a few times and calling it a draw, and Andrew Jackson simply taking Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, the Mega-Rez called Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, in case you're not paying attention you notice that there's a lot of native names, and Indiana was ceded to the Tribes "for as long as grass grows" you know the lying spiel... The British and their allies took a lot more than that. Like India. The "French and Indian War" was referred to as the 7 Years War and still is called that everywhere except to our bumpkin backwater podunk pseudo-democracy 'merka. Even Canada refers to the proper name. Churchill called it the "REAL" first world war. It was that big. So were the Napoleonic Wars. /history lesson, for now. Anyhoo... this church surrounded by a huge Muslim majority, and a lot of Hindu and Buddhist populations, is the Church of St Thomas. The Thomas who refused to recognize Jesus resurrected. Doubting Thomas. That St Thomas, yeah. He founded the church in Mumbai. It's first century CE or AD whichever floats you boat. There's a lot of hoo-haw about Muslims burning churches and the people of those churches. Like the Church in Antioch which was pretty much destroyed by U.S. bombing raids. There's a big lie making the scene, has been since the Crusades, that all Arabians and Turks and Persians (Iran, Afghanistan...) are forced to be Muslim. Which is Bullshit. The Abyssinian Catholic Church in Iraq, you remember Iraq, right? "Our" country tore the place apart and are forcing the people of Iraq to pay for the damages. For Real. Ten percent of the pre-ameriklan conquest population were Christian, AND there are synagogues in most of the countries especially the Big 7 that are banned from immigration, the ones where Donald Trump and his asshole Wall Street Comrades don't own the entire country, And Churches. The Church of St Thomas has been in operation for 2000 years and likewise in Syria (Antioch) and this puts the lie to the lips of those who claim a huge persecution against Christians and Jews. How many churches
SEAL Team Glossary includes Canoeing, Winkler Hatchets & Bleed Out Videos.
You won't find these terms in the indexes of the countless books praising SEAL Team 6. But they feature prominently in an Intercept exposé about the war crimes of America's most famous death squad. “Bleed out” videos are passed among operators, as Special Ops mercenaries are called, featuring their victims bleeding to death as they are taunted by their murderers. "Canoeing" is the act of aiming a final gunshot through the top of the victim's forehead such that the head splits open to form a V like the bow of a canoe. Canoeing Photos of faces spilling over with brains, such as the proof-of-death pic of Osama bin Laden, are then taken for the official record, including the team's formal scrapbook. "Devil's Guard" is an obscure war novel that glamorizes Nazi attrocities including fictional methods of inflicting state terror. Title 50 authority is the so-called license which US Special Ops have to partner with allied commandos to form death squads. Winkler hatchets are tomahawks made by craftsman Daniel Winkler for the SEAL Team 6 Red Squadron, known as the redmen, who are expected to bloody their hatchets as they conduct their raids. Using the hatchets to collect DNA hair-follicle samples for the Redmen means flaying their victims and returning with scalps, fingers and other disfiguring momentos. Another insight revealed by the Intercept: The British aid captive Linda Norgrove, who was killed during a botched rescue attempt, wasn't killed by her captors, but by a grenade thrown at her by a Seal Team operators, perhaps because the goal of reaching Norgrove was not rescue but exposure control. Linda Norgrove worked for DAI, Development Alternatives Inc, an American NGO, a cover for being an agent for MI-6. The glossary we already knew: Blue Squadron, known as the Pirates; Gold Squadron, known as the Crusaders or Knights; Silver Squadron; and Red Squadron, known as the Redmen.
A gratuitous snarky product review.
Google, who invade every part of your computers and shopping and personal behavior and then sell it to whichever government or other corporation who has the bread to buy it, has a new version of Geany or Siri which controls Every FUCKING Bit Of Your Life if you buy it. It also costs you a hundred bux real yankee money. Say what? You don't have any profit of your own for giving the data somebody sinister, anonymous far more efficiently than the Anonymous movement.. is PAYING Google for YOUR data which YOU not only provided for free but actually PAID Google for the privilege of Making More Money For Google? If you're especially wealthy and pay even more for Google to NOT sell your data to anybody except for some government or other corporation who can over-ride the agreement (hereafter referred to as "blackmail") to just anybody Google decides is worthy of YOUR private information. Sideways talking Yoda-wise am I, but surprised seriously sold life of yours has been by Google? Further, and this is creepy beyond belief, unless you're granted the gift to figure this or believe somebody you may or not trust. But if you try to contact Google Help you get shunted to a forum of peers, and the ones who are supposedly expert in diagnosing problems with YouTube or Facebook etc... admittedly (by the same experts) are volunteers. So, in real English, that means Google, arguably the richest corporation In The World, doesn't actually PAY their workers. Between that and selling the personal data of everybody who uses any of their services, especially the ones for "free" that would explain why they're so rich. I mean, sell data they didn't generate or buy from anybody, and have millions (Maybe) of the software version of Unpaid Slaves doing all the maintenance ... a Virtual Reality Sweatshop... Then, there's (you can find this on a Google Forums thread called "Fuck Google", go ahead... google it) a small group of people who write english with a slighly Indus Valley flavor, and only one name apiece, and can all be contacted 24 hours a day. Seriously. That's the claim they make. I guess their brief moments not chained to their computers would be spent in meditation on the Great and Wonderful Google ohmm ohmmm ohhmmmmm... On the other hand they're actually computer generated personalities. Which is the probable next name for Artificial Intelligence. If you don't sign out entirely from say, youtube, which is no longer automatic, they took away the button that says "Sign Out" so what you do is go to your browser preferences and erase History and Cookies and be thorough about it... Because you don't actually know which google properties don't have the word "google" in the names... If you don't do that you're giving them your information Even If You Never Use Google Again... Meanwhile, the device that's uploading all this neat-o shit that they value enough to harvest and get all pissy about you NOT giving your data to them
Ray Charles died the same day as Reagan
Damn, I sure do miss Ray Charles. Some people say that Black folk protecting their families and communities is equivalent to the Klan. Which is bullshit. Let me quantify that. 93.7 cubic kilometers of bullshit. One group that fought against Civil Rights and to this day claim that Equal Rights means Special Rights... is a group associated closely with the Klan called the John Birch Society. The Birchers. Named for a racist Baptist preacher/missionary who used his pulpit as a cover for being an anti-Chinese spy in China. And got his stupid ass shot off. Ronald Reagan was Treasurer for this bunch of Right Wing Terrorists. Want me to tie them to religious terrorism? Easy. I worship sometimes with Southern Baptist congregations. I'm not really that damn picky. I know, socially it's a downgrade from my usual friends, whores, drunkards, sinners, you know. Jesus said something about that in relation to John the BAPTIST. Who was a Nazarite, like Samson. A lot more to it than not cutting one's hair or beard. It's an order of priesthood, and yeah, they did some stuff that would be called Terrorism if any group of Middle Eastern religious or ethnic groups, like Samaritans who were Israelites but not Jews did it. Like Irgun and Likud they would beat up on any imperial troops. Yeah, Jesus' cousin was a Zealot and probably had people killed, not just Romans but collaborators with the Romans. When Arabs or Persians or Afghans do it it's called Terrorism. When Israel or the U.S. do it it's called Exceptionalism. Reagan and the Birchers were very much in favor of Exceptionalism. Back to the Baptist connections. Quick quiz here, does any of my readers recall why exactly there is a denomination called Southern Baptist and why the Southern Methodists broke off from the general conventions of the Baptist and Methodist churches? Waiting waiting wa.. times up. They broke off over the question of Should Missionaries (like John Birch) be allowed to be slaveowners and vice-versa. The Southern Methodists didn't change the name of their college in University Park Texas. But they did reconcile with the United Methodists IN MY LIFETIME. The Southern Baptist Churches never did give in and say that, hey, Slavery is Wrong. And they're still associated heavily with the Ku Klux Klan. Now, I don't hate white folks. Even the ones who hate me. I ain't going to vote for any Klan collaborators though. They (Republicans and especially Reaganites) refrain from screaming their hate in my face on one special type of occasion. An Election. At that point they get positively lovey-dovey about how much they enjoy and hope to serve Blacks, Indians, Mexicans, Disabled people, poor people in general... And they actually believe that we're all stupid enough to believe them. So, now, just before an election Bill O'Reilly, Chickenhawk Supreme, author of a book about a fellow Chickenhawk Bitch-ass coward named Ronald Reagan, well, he got that book turned in to a movie and the premiere is tonight on television.
Haha. Nobel prize shuns contemporary literature, rewards 60s poet for SONGS.
I'm not saying Bob Dylan isn't deserving of laurels, though one might consider Dylan to have been adequately lauded in his own century. When the Nobel Prize for literature goes to a songwriter, what does that say about the committee's regard for contemporary literature?
Because phreak Google, that’s why
I'm going to redo my operating system on my mobiles. Change it to Kali Linux They'll still work as far as the phone company is concerned. Google has become megalomaniac on us. They act like they god-damn invented the internet, and have first dibs on every bit of data -- every datum would be more accurate. They're the ultimate snoops. Any measure of privacy flew out the Windows (had to pun that, sorry) years ago. In order to use the Android OS on my devices I would have to pay Google. Maybe not directly, but in bandwidth which is paid in my internet provider and the phone provider. Every time I take my phone out of airplane mode, Google has more than one "essential app" to update. Fuck that. Essential to whom, exactly? I don't use Google + or youtube ultra-fantastic-consume-don't ask, just consume, we'll tell you what to consume and at what price consume consume resistance is futile you must be assimilated. It's the "soft" Capitalist Dictatorship of Brave New World. I don't use their products, but they get root access to all my communications devices and according to the phone manufacturers, rooting my own phone would void my non-existent warranty. Google has joined the ranks of those who can Line up and take turns helping yourself to a Texas sized all-you-can-eat buffet of Kiss my Liberal Ass. In an advanced and enlightened society it would be legal to hunt them. Compliance is futile, I will NOT be assimilated. The Android network makes it easier to communicate between Android devices, and all others must bow before that and wait their turn, humbly, with all servitude. Like a Masonic handshake. You might have read about the lawsuit by the "justice" department to force Apple to comply with them in putting spyware and a root-level password for them to listen into any conversation, anywhere in the world, regardless of in which political /territorial imperative the devices are sold or used. Fuck that shit. Did you notice something unsettling in all that? They didn't file a similar lawsuit against Google or Microsoft. By the United States federales. The FBI is claiming jurisdiction over the entire world,and Google and Microsoft have bowed down and sworn fealty to the Beast. There are 99 million results for "ceo of Google". If you extrapolate that to only ten persons per website that comes out to more people than there are in the entire world. And yes, a lot of people are calling it a manifestation of Antichrist. It's the global police state, served up on a platform you pay to implement. The CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, is about impossible to contact at all. Like any kind of customer support at Google. There's a discussion on Google called fuck google at the Orwellian named YouTube Help Forum. youtube@googleproductforums.com It's a laugh a minute. There are a few Google cultists replying to the mass of curses tossed at youtube in particular but google in general. They claim to be volunteers. All
So called “patriots day” 911
Means I get to pick up your lost or blew-off-your-antenna because-you-don't-know flag-etiquette-and-put-a-87-cent-walmart-flag-on your-motor-vehicle and you're about as smart as you are a "real" patriot. Get a grip. If you expect people to stand up for your national anthem (not required) or say the pledge of allegiance (also not required) or stand up every time The Flag passes by (again, not required) first you can line up and take turns helping yourself to a Texas size All-you-can-eat buffet of Kiss My Liberal Ass. Then you can hop out of your vehicle, (after first coming to a full stop, I know it sounds obvious but some people are REAL dumb) and pick the flag off the side of the road.Why not, eh? If you say you love your police state government and you love your flag, pick the motherf- (ahem) cloth idol up when you drop it.If I had the foolish habit of saluting the flag each time I pass it, I would have to glue my right hand over my left chest, just from the ones you idiots let fly off your vehicles and leave in the gutter. Hey, that's real patriotism, ain't it? There's a lot of evidence, not real proof of course, that your rich-bitch masters who you also wish me to revere as "leaders" set up 9-11. Like no colonels or generals killed at the Pentagon and there were no trade ministers, CEOs of any corporations, especially banking, just a bunch of lower management and labor employees in the Twin Towers. On a Not-Holiday Tuesday in September in the mid morning. I'm calling shenanigans. I also ain't going to fly any flags or do any useless praise for the Police State being spread across the world, violently, at a taxpayer expense of trillions of dollars, to somehow "avenge" 9-11. Note: one of the flags I pulled out of a ditch was just outside Woodland Park some years ago, I was out walking that ribbon of highway and saw above me that endless skyway, and saw below me a place to duck behind a tree to relieve my bladder. And... there, a familiar pattern showed up... and I said to myself, as I often do, "Self, another one of those fake 'patriots' lost a flag, and was too god-damned lazy to pick it up". What's the excuse, y'all? If you're heading into Woodland freakin' Park are you seriously that damned pressed for time that you can't pull over, pull your idol out of the mud and then go on your way? What is there in Woodland Park that won't be there in five minutes? Did you think the whole town would be dismantled and moved or be deserted by the time you get there? Here's a nice part. It was in a rat's nest and really dirty. When I got into Woodland Park I stopped at the Fire Station and asked if they have any kind of, you know, protocol to give the flag a military funeral as prescribed in the Flag Code. They
“in Donald Trump’s America…”
Ok that's just stupid. But it's his attack ad and I guess the scriptwriters for his campaign know what they're doing. Polishing a turd, really. It starts with an attack on Hillary, good, she needs to be verbally slapped around a bit. NOTICE: I don't advocate hitting people. Talking smack is way more effective and it's also morally correct. Same with her declared opponent. First off. it AIN'T Trumps america. He doesn't own the place. Nor do his disciples. Then there's the fact that America is actually two continents, and only one part of one continent is going to be represented by whichever morally corrupt power freak "wins". and much as it upsets some citizens of the United States, the US doesn't own even the U.S. The dispute over the so-called right for the oil industry to put in a pipeline anywhere they god-damn please is roaring big at Standing Rock. The White Supremacists who want to put Trump in power, how much do you want to bet on whether they support the Lakota or the Oil Fat-Cats? Trump's handlers haven't allowed him to make a stateHatement because they're sure he'll fuck it up. Hillary has with her silence on the way the Taxpayer (federal) subsidized police who are in effect subsidizing the Oil Companies, are treating the Lakota. And people from more than a hundred other tribes. Nor has she or Mr Trump said anything in support of actual Indian Sovereignty. They've both made statements against it in the past. Now their handlers are hoping it goes away sometime in the next 8 weeks. Ha ha! Ain't happenin', babies. Chump's most outspoken disciples believe he'll make a White Rule Republic in the sad little portion of america called the United States by literate people and idiots say it like it's all of america. And the world for that matter. If Chump wants to explain how that would be even legal or rebuke his disciples, one or the other, that would be a good start at REAL discussion. As it is, his disciples are going around telling us that "when" he gets elected the rest of us are going to do what Mr Trump tells us Or Else. That, too, is STUPID. You would have to be suffering drug induced Moron Episodes to believe you'll be running anything regardless of who "wins" the election. It will be who has the biggest minority of the vote, especially if you count those who vote to refuse. In other words, the people on any side of the divide ain't going to do a single squeaky fart about anything that even resembles making the Other Side do their bidding. Do yourselves a favor, stop going around saying that either Hillary or Donald will substantially change the Corporate Police State. You'll seem to be more lucid, sane and intelligent if you just drop the stupid-ass crowing about what you'll do After The Election. The raw facts in the issue are that America stopped being either a Democracy or a
Deportation and Ethnic Cleansing
That should be "deportation IS ethnic cleansing" and it shouldn't even be on the agenda in "the land of the free" like the lying song says. Nay, verily. But it is. The part about deporting anybody who is awaiting citizenship for even traffic violations has been kicked around, and really should be kicked out. It is in it's entirety Racism. When people who chant loudly about deporting "aliens" the first image they put in each others stupid little pointy head is "Mexican". Which to them means anybody who has a spanish surname and dark skin. Even the Native Americans who were bought and sold back and forth between Spain and French in what was later known as the Louisiana Purchase. When the U.S. racist government, at the time presided over by slave holding Plantation Aristocrats, it got the name Louisiana Purchase but there wasn't any clear boundaries. This goes with my post that Zeb Pike was an Illegal Alien. European kings who had never set foot in America sold Euro-American dictators not only the land, but the people on the land. And sped up the already official policy of deporting Americans based on our ancestry. And religion. A lot of the ethnic cleansing take-america-back-to-the-1840s racist movement circles around Religion. Muslims of course, and to the Hate Party that means stereotyped Arabic persons and American Black Muslims. Once the Hate Party gets past the current eulogies for Muhammad Ali, who they considered a traitor while he was alive, "They" are going to jump right back into the "Deport All Muslims" sinkhole they dug for themselves. The deportations began long ago. After "french and indian war" victories by the British and their allies, much more complex than I just wrote but an order of magnitude more complex than the Hate Party describe it... And before a group of exiled British Aristocrats like Washington and Jefferson, deported from England for not being the "right kind of christians" declared independence from their Parent Corporation, maybe y'all have heard of that... But in this inter-Regnum inter-bellum period the English overlords started deporting Native Americans. Who were graciously granted by King George Hanover and King George Washington the prizilege of moving their entire nations to the Ohio. Even this wasn't enough for the colonists. Oh, hell no! They made it a condition "intolerable" in the Declaration of Independence, along with the abolitionist movement in England. Their parent corporation. Oh, the Horror! Not being allowed to set up plantations on Indian land (ahem... that's every square inch of America, y'all) and having their Human Property taken away from them, must have given the Plantation Aristocrats night terrors. Daniel Boone, perhaps unintentionally, set up an incursion into the Ohio Territories, the Indian Nation. He's considered quite the hero for breaking the treaties before the ink was dried. If Davy Crockett, who many Americans can't tell the difference between him and Mr Boone, actually was born on a mountaintop in Tennessee, the greenest state in the land of the free and all that other
Not so much bread, plenty of circus.
At last the modern gladiatorial spectacle in Rio is over. Yay! To not take away any reward gotten by the slave-entertainers, if you won anything good for you. The United States didn't win a single thing. Seriously. The athletes who won any medals, those medals belong to the athletes. If they can make money from doing commercials, well, that's about as much as they can get. At least they didn't get sold like the original Olympic gladiators. I know, the term Olympic is Greek and Gladiator is Latin, but the Games served the same purposes whether Roman or Athenian. Keep the peasants eyes diverted from the dirty secrets of the rulers. And provide the very rich of many nations a review of their prospective purchases of slave-soldiers. Like the modern military recruiters only more direct about buying human beings to kill other human beings. And the military, you might have noticed, exploited the U.S. Olimpic athletes for recruitment ads and you'll see more of that shit in the coming weeks and months. The Games never were about honoring the athletes. Who are, like their professional counterparts in the NFL, MLB, NBA , hockey, soccer, whoever is more idolized in the local media,... they're entertainers. That's their primary job today. The teams are privately owned but publicly subsidized. And there's that military angle. Anybody who thinks the Modern or Ancient Olympiads were about Peace are seriously deluded. It was a meat market. And if any cops or other soldiers believe they're regarded in any way more than property of their Masters, they too are seriously deluded. Their jobs are the same as those displayed in the ancient olympics. Killing other slave-soldiers and sometimes civilian slaves. Not for the glory or freedom of their societies, just as now they killed and died to make money for their Masters. Don't look to the presidents or senates or parliaments of any nation to be top-heavy with the Ruling Class. They exist merely to keep the money flowing to the Ruling Class. Higher paid slaves, but still slaves. Betimes a Ruling Class person will dabble in politics himself. Bush, Clinton, Roosevelt, you know. A litany of (in)famous names. But still the functions of government are mostly accomplished by bureaucrats who, like the elected ones, the "ostensible" government... are servants to the Ruling Class. The ancient Olympians displayed their talents in such things as the shot put, leaping, running, swordsmen and archers, the discus, spears, ... arts and weapons of war. Each Olympian could be sold to another king than the one to whom he had pledged his allegiance. Just another commodity. And just as the Olympics fade into the heat of the August sun, we get the finals of Baseball and the beginnings of the Football. Hooray! O Frabjous day, calloo callay! he chortled in his glee. And we all get to pay for it! Some of your state and even federal taxes goes to finance teams like the Rockies, the Donkos, the nuggets, who am I forgetting? Doesn't matter
SO #DEMEXIT
And Korea…. being rolled over by a new empire
Alternative Title, Why there actually IS a Communist half of Korea. Probably more than half now. They didn't change their language or identity for centuries under the rule of Chinese and Japanese emperors. It is a very big feeling of pride and nobody should ever forget it. So what does our Empire do? For one, they're running whole villages of farmers off their ancestral lands, the ones built up literally from swamp into productive farmland by their ancestors and themselves, as it's an ongoing process. They Worked For Their Land. Not the US Government or even the Seoul Government. And now, in the name of "Freedom", the US military are stripping the land from the people who made the land. It's not the first time, God knows. The whole American Empire has been built on stolen land. From the first successful english colony at Plymouth, which they named after a port in the country which basically ran them off. The very first "free" Market Capitalist theft in America, the first Corporate Thieves. Or technically, the first English capitalist thieves. Not good at any kind of labor, especially farming, and they used their seeds to make beer the first summer they were here. Then the stupid bastards almost starved, they were rescued by a thousands of years old neighboring Socialist economic bloc rescued their shiny white english buttocks, Then they had a massive feast to celebrate, which the Socialist Neighbors actually catered, after which the english said, hey, good grub, thanks for saving us, now Get Off Our Land. It's been that way every since. Some of them, like the Heritage Foundation, are actually proud of that shit. They got the land seizures subsidized and got the land for little or no money out of their own pockets. We've got one such land thief made into an Idol at the corner of Platte and Nevada. Not really AT the intersection, IN the intersection Credited with "creating" Colorado Springs. Our Father who is art in the intersetion. You can't adequately see to make a left turn onto or off Nevada or Platte. People have died from trying. That's the level of Hatred for Native Americans or (Remember the Koreans? I do) Korean natives and their cultures. Their Non-White Non-English much more civilized cultures. The Anglo establishment in The US, a tiny minority even for White Americans, have a doctrine called Dominionism or Manifest Destiny which teaches that they, The English Episcopalians, (doesn't help to be Generic White or Generic Christian, most whites and Christians in America are not invited) are Annointed By God to control not just America but the entire world. WTF? I grew up attached to that culture. And I never got un-astonished (I'm from Texas, we make up words a lot) by how fucking arrogant they are. In the Korean situation, the Seoul government has sold itself entirely to the Dominionist Empire. There were in the link repeated Here, a probable 10,000 "free" Korean cops and soldiers clearing out two ancient villages to make
A favorite joke
Marvin is working in his store when he hears a booming voice from above: "Marvin, sell your business." He ignores it. It goes on for days. "Marvin, sell your business for $3 million." After weeks of this, Marvin relents, sells his store. The voice says ‘Marvin, go to Las Vegas." He asks why. "Marvin, take the $3 million to Las Vegas." He obeys, goes to a casino. The voice says, "Marvin , go to the blackjack table and put it down all on one hand." He hesitates but knows that he must. He’s dealt an 18. The dealer has a six showing. "Marvin, take a card." What? The dealer has -- " Take a card!" Marvin tells the dealer to hit him. He gets an ace. Nineteen. He breathes easy. "Marvin, take another card." What? "TAKE ANOTHER CARD!" Marvin asks for another card. It’s another ace. He has twenty. "Marvin, take another card," the voice commands. I have twenty! Marvin shouts. "TAKE ANOTHER CARD!!" booms the voice. Hit me, Marvin says. He gets another ace. Twenty one. The booming voice goes: "Un-fucking-believable!"
Baton Rouge police “militarization”
Even the Military have rules of engagement. Not that any US military are ever going on trial for war crimes, Reagan and Both BushWankers promised they would never allow that to happen. And since they're fighting non-government resistance groups in the nations they have violently and without a cause invaded umm.. are nobly protecting and giving freedom to those oppressed yeah, that's the ticket... the murders they commit is not counted as a War Crime and the propped up post-coup "legitimate governments" are complicit with American troops murdering their people... But here's a thing, with an explanation threaded throughout, there is a code involving pointing weapons or having them loaded at all is only something you do in a Free Fire Zone, one in which you would expect just anybody other than your comrades is an enemy. They made this clear to ME first in High School ROTC, then in Basic Training. Soldiers on base or in civilian populations are not allowed to put ammunition into their rifles, pistols, revolvers or shotguns. Shotguns are forbidden as a weapon of war by the Geneva Conventions. Because of the hideous wounds they inflict. You NEVER DELIBERATELY AIM WEAPONS OR EVEN POINT THEM CARELESSLY IN ANY NON-COMBAT SITUATION. But the Baton Rouge police and Parish Sheriffs department did. The one exception to the no-point rule (but not pointless) being the practice range. You don't point them at People ever unless you have a very clear LAWFUL reason to fire those weapons. This might piss off some crybaby ass pigs but the Cops are NOT the law in their own persons. Even Kings aren't, as demonstrated by Charles 1 of England losing his arrogant head over the same kind of bullshit. ie having the military and militarized police kill English subjects. The English Constitution after which the US Constitution and Articles of Confederation and even the Declaration of Independence were based and founded. That might seem to be redundant. It isn't. They brought gas masks and the accompanying gas. Which is ALSO not allowed by the Geneva Conventions. The Pigs, military and civilian, have a ready answer to that, They simply state that there was no declaration of war by the United States since December of 1941. Thus they can mock the Constitution, rule of law instead of rule of so called law enforcement, and any Human Being that stands in their way on the road to Absolute Police State Imperialism. But hang on, there's more. I've already got published on this very website that the 4th and 6th Articles of the Constitution state that the Constitution itself is the law and basis of laws in America and shall be held as such in any state, territory, embassies, and ships at sea. And that treaties (like the Geneva and Hague Conventions) entered into and ratified by the Congress have the full weight of the Constitution. That means the way civilian protesters and the PEOPLE who are held in what the Police State Morons obviously consider their own
