Land of the Free, my ass.

Let's cut the BS and stop buying into an outdated, romanticized propaganda campaign.

Turtle Island was free once, until the genocide of natives and bison and everything holy which gave birth to freedom for upper-class white males. As charming as the notion is that our "Founding Fathers" believed in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all, it is a fallacy. Any leader, political or otherwise, that has attempted to uphold these ideals has been subsequently assassinated, discredited, or corrupted. By the time blacks and women were "liberated" via voting status, the system had been inherently broken by means of religion, taxes, interest, defunct laws and labor practices, and military psychological operations. Freedom is a waking dream that can never be obtained until we open our eyes.

This will change soon. ;)

These are not my words, but mirror my thoughts expressed without a series of inevitable obscenities. It's a synopsis of reality, compiled in a fashion unprecedented in reading various personal manifestos nearly every day for over half a decade. While I hesitate to post this, I suppose it doesn't matter considering I'm on a list somewhere, having experienced being monitored by the entities spoken of below. But at this point, it's too late to turn back, so here you go:

Proactive Resistance: A Manifesto

Proactive Resistance: A Manifesto
by Thought Criminal / malreported.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable," declared John F. Kennedy in 1962. And he couldn't have been more precise as organizations such as the Black Panthers, the Weather Underground, the Zapatistas, and many others throughout the world demonstrated in an essential attempt to fight the tyrannical forces that plague humanity through the only way left available.

After a few decades of "peace" in America while US forces more covertly pursued their imperialistic neoliberal foreign policy through instigated genocide, foreign occupation, economic and physical terrorism, drug dealing, funding both sides of various conflicts, et cetera, the current World War has finally emerged into full consciousness due to the extent of their disinformation, intent of pacifying and recruiting the population, breaking down as more Americans understand the severity of the present situation.

Domestically, in spite of the construction of concentration camps, plans for RFID chips and National ID cards, severe retribution for even the slightest of "offenses", and legislature that, in theory, renders the Constitution null and void, the powers that be and their puppet administrations have sorely underestimated the power of an educated and determined public. They are not omnipotent. Their weak points shall be exploited. Their agenda exists on the erroneous philosophy that Americans remain in the sheep mentality and as we can see, their past success is deteriorating each day as they test their boundaries.

America is no longer a democratic nation, but a corporate entity whose leaders, contrary to our Constitutional principles, enforce their will on the people despite escalating resistance. Worse still, the environmental degradation resultant from "economic development" exponentially threatens our very survival. Change is imperative, yet revolutionary tactics of the past are no longer applicable. Pacifism hinders the pursuit for autonomy, as Malcolm X explained in his criticism of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Concerning nonviolence, it is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks."

Reactionary cultural revolution and proactive guerilla warfare are as brother and sister; hand in hand in a symbiotic process that cannot exist without the support of the other. The exclusive utilization of nonviolent civil disobedience is based on the implication that the enemy displays certain characteristics corresponding to that of the oppressed. Clearly, this is a fallacy both in theory and in practice. Solitary nonviolent resistance will have you screaming at a building, unheard and ineffectual, while solitary guerilla warfare will alienate the same public you're attempting to liberate. Historical analysis demands that a synthesis of both ideologies is imperative.

It is our responsibility to exercise our free will, or remain as slaves. The ruling elite will not surrender the power they've seized willingly, for in their mediocrity exists no honor or nobility, no morality, only the drive for acquisition of wealth and power which they've passed on to the proletariat clandestinely through the propaganda machine that is corporate media. Therefore, if we wish to regain our freedom and re-establish our full potential as sovereign citizens, we must do so by whatever means necessary. Your leaders have already declared war on you; this is a call to arms.

Suffer my wrath anyway.

Fuck your revolution! Revolution, my ass! Revolution; I'm so sick of hearing that word! Your revolution is bullshit and subsists on an empty dream. What have we done so far? What have we done but sit on our lazy asses in front of a computer screen bitching about FEMA and the CIA and HR 6166?

Native lands are being raped for resources and everything else is owned by the government. YOUR home will be relocated to subdivisions and apartment buildings to make room for industry and shopping malls. Your children and siblings will be sent to serve the military-industrial complex or occupy the prison-industrial complex. Farmlands will be annihilated by GM agriculture while we're killing our bodies with fluoride, MSG, aspartame, incessant alcoholism, fast food, pharmaceuticals, and tobacco addictives! I want a drink just to say sane in this cursed society!

Fuck you! We are one people and we're all responsible! We're all sheep and we're all to be held accountable for our apathy! Enjoy your acid rain, enjoy your radiation and earthquakes and poisoned water supply. Enjoy your microchip and your life of slavery. Enjoy watching your children and grandchildren inherit NOTHING but a life of misery!

Perhaps some of us do little things, but most of us do NOTHING! Little things are NOT enough, and it's NOT the thought that counts! Fuck you, America, you whore! Fuck you and fuck me! Fuck everyone, you fucking fucks!

Read or suffer my wrath.

Pants are for losers:

I conducted an impromptu survey based on the premise that [1] any guy who wears briefs cannot be taken seriously, and [2] boxer/briefs are reminiscent of a gay cK model. Here are the enlightening results:

Of 11 respondents,

- 1 said I was shallow.
- 100% of the females agreed that briefs are pretty gay.
- I am a punk-ass bi-atch because Andre the Giant wore briefs.

Regarding the boys,

- 2 wear briefs, 1 of which is a self-proclaimed gay (but macho) cK model.
- 3 defended boxer/briefs passionately, eliciting a bit of sympathy.
- 3 go commando/freeballin'.

And then I received this bit of wisdom:

"The style of underwear or no underwear says a lot about a person, personality wise. Briefs usually indicate that there is an insecurity about the size of the package. Oh, the things guys do to make themselves feel better for this inadequacy. So not wanting to date a boy in briefs simply means you don't want to deal with a guy that has issues about his junk, issues that mean you have to coddle him to make him feel better, or lie to him and tell him he is so big when he isn't. Nude is the best."

Beware the New Age gurus:

I found a plastic shaman on CrackSpace. Or rather, he came to a particular forum asking for backup from elders because the people on an ndn forum weren't buying what he was selling. Elders on SpySpace? Right. Dude has a website that takes donations and (ahahaa!) "love offerings" from gullibile spiritual orphans and 'breeds trying to reconnect with the real world because the people here are spiritually and culturally starved for anything of true substance.

If you can relate to that last sentence, please note: These people are a dime a dozen, taking something genuine, twisting it around, and capitalizing on it for profit and ego. The plastic shamans did it to ndns just as the new-age crystal-wielding gurus did it to the eastern religions.

The Wiccans did it to the European indigenous, taking elements from the Celts, the Greeks, Jewish mysticism, Hinduism, freemasonry (founder Gerald Gardner was a mason), and a great deal of bullshit. This is damaging to preserving the old ways and an insult to our ancestors. It can also create some very dangerous consequences. Screwing around with "magick" or performing a ceremony you don't understand will more than likely come back to you in ways you won't find so empowering.

In America, much of this is being mixed with Judeo-Christian history and dogma, which in my opinion is the antithesis to the old ways. It's all good if one wants to walk to the beat of their own drum, but changing traditions and presenting this as representative of entire nations and cultures to suit your worldview/agenda isn't a good way to facilitate this, ya dig?

Why I’m not voting.

I welcome the day when the United Corporations of America becomes the fabled democracy it portrays itself to be and our electoral system is more than a façade to promote that illusion, but I won't be holding my breath. Not even the good Rev. Horton Heat can convince me to take part in this year's election.

Republican vs. Democrat

* How do I choose between overpopulation and embryonic stem cell research which includes provisions for human cloning?

* Should I support tax cuts for the rich or a defunct welfare system that encourages recipients to remain unemployed by rabid breeding?

* Would I rather consume and slave labor from Republican corporations or Democrat corporations?

* Which rights would I like to give up less? Should the government protect my fragile soul from gay marriage and terrorist boogiemen or free speech and the right to bear arms? Either way, my mind, body, and human rights are apparently subject to be regulated by either party.

The "Lesser Evil"

* Voting for the "lesser evil" still constitutes voting for someone I dislike and whose policies I don't support or believe in. What would I do if this person actually won the election? I would be responsible for voting a jackass into office!

* Voting against a particular candidate is still giving credence to a system I reject; the same system that allowed GW Bush to steal the election, twice.

Greens/Libertarians/Independents

* In my district in Indiana, for State Treasurer, State Auditor, and US Congress we have no choice but to vote for the Republicrats. 

* For Secretary of State, the Greens and Libertarians are on the ballot. The Libertarian candidate advocates BMV reform (a nice surprise, since I've been plagued by such an issue lately) and the Green candidate has a pretty solid platform overall. In fact, I support the IGP on most issues excluding Affirmative Action. If I had one iota of an inkling that either of these candidates had a chance in hell of having an effect on this "red state" election, I would vote for one and abstain the rest of the ballot (same goes for the Libertarian candidate for Senator). In fact, despite the IGP's retarded Affirmative Action policy, I'd be willing to work on the campaign for a nominee running for Senate or Congress.

While I understand that it makes some people feel better to "take part in the political process", vote, and then forget about politics for another two years, I find it necessary to keep constant vigilance on our elected or "selected" officials and work to change the system I abhor as an outsider rather than running in circles around all the corrupt and underhanded bureaucracy it entails to get someone worthy elected.

As it stands, while my choice to vote for Nobody will go down in history as another meaningless statistic regarded as "voter apathy", I'll keep striving to change the system so that one day I'll actually feel like my vote counts for something I believe in.

[edit]

I've just been notified that Canadians in Alberta who abstain rather eat their ballots. Yay for Canada, who's now inspired me to make ballot-sized stickers for the next election depicting the candidates photoshopped in various compromising positions with farm animals.

[ennui] = [MindWAR] + [überDouche]

[for those lacking an attention span, scroll down]

The US military has a psyop division, replaced by the updated MindWAR designed initially to win wars by winning (literally: brainwashing) the hearts and minds of the citizens of enemy territory. Yet the military isn't the only organization to employ psyop techniques. Many methods were theorized, developed, and tested which include everything from classic brainwashing techniques (such as repetitive slogans, manipulating individual desires, subliminals, and controlling the media) to the more technological (ELF waves and other types of radiation, pharmaceuticals, etc.).

Here's a few examples of the modern use of MindWAR by the U.S. media:

* The corp. media syndicates have often used photographs and video out of context, such as showing videos of Arabs cheering during the 9/11 ordeal and "grateful" Iraqis on videotape during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

* Also, two different "Osama bin Ladens" are shown to the public in order to incite blind patriotism around election time and whenever else support is deemed necessary. This is all bullshit.

* Hugo Chavez, a critic of the Bush admin. and U.S. imperialism, speaks out against them at the U.N. conference and elsewhere, yet is reviled and demonized by the media tycoons despite the fact that he's known to help out U.S. citizens in poverty when their own govt. preys on them for profit.

* The Mark Foley scandal is covered by extensively by the media during the discreet passing of HR 6166, even though the story actually broke approx. six months before. The Military Commissions Act is covered by mass media after it's too late to prevent its manifestation as law.

What can we do about this? Well...

It'd be wise to keep in mind that almost everything covered by Fox News, CNN, and the like is propaganda, delivered in a way to highlight a particular agenda. Corp. media is not required by law to tell the truth, adhere to journalistic integrity or any sort pf accuracy. The truth is often found more often in small local independent newspapers, the internet, and even word of mouth.

WE are the media now. MySpace is more or less a wonderful tool for spreading information for now, but it won't be long before it's censored completely. It's a good place to make connections and then spread out to other mediums. That's why I'm working on a zine presently in my spare time; they can't censor or delete that shit, and it's harder to track down which is an important consideration due to this new legislation.

A lot of people who scoff at the idea that the "Official Version of 9/11" is not accurate, for example, is simply because they're buying into the propaganda. The mind works in mysterious ways... when you want to believe something so much, you cannot utilize logic or even intuition. So, let's expose these fuckers for the charlatans they are and get on with fixing this country and everything it's destroyed.

Dissent is Now Illegal

Dissent is Now Illegal:

CONSTITUTION OVERTURNED BY HR 6166

by Thought Criminal

Enemy Combatant

"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security." ~ Benjamin Franklin

Still think America is the 'Land of the Free'? We're free to do as we're told. Effective September 27, American citizens who dissent and protest the unconstitutional practices of the Bush Administration are subject to be labeled 'enemy combatants' and indefinitely detained and tortured without due process of law.

While our mass media syndicates were distracting you with the Mark Foley pedophilia scandal, the House discreetly passed House Resolution 6166: The Military Commissions Act of 2006, also known as "the torture bill". 219 Republicans and 34 Democrats voted to strip basic human and legal rights from U.S. citizens.

More specially, HR 6166 will effectively:

·          give the President amnesty for committing war crimes.

·          provide amnesty to war criminals in the military.

·          revoke habeas corpus rights, which allows U.S. military detainees a right to appeal charges.

·          render the Geneva Conventions null and void.

·          allow the police to search your home without a warrant.

·          revoke legal protection from self-incrimination.

·          eliminate the idea of rape and sexual assault as torture.

·          allow the government to use testimony extracted through torture.

·          allow the government to imprison people based on secret evidence without telling them the charges.

·          remove the right to cross-examine witnesses.

·          allow the records of trials to be kept secret from the public.

·          take away the right to a speedy trial.

·          enable trials to begin before a thorough investigation.

·          allow people to be put on trial in front of a military tribunal, even if they aren't in the military.

·          create a secret committee appointed by Bush and Rumsfeld that has the power to declare any person an 'enemy combatant', depriving them of basic human rights, legal rights, or an appeal.

·          label a legal resident of the U.S. 'legal' and 'illegal enemy combatant' subject to indefinite detainment without an appeal.

·          label a foreign citizen living in their own country 'illegal enemy combatant' subject to indefinite detainment without an appeal.

Clever. The bill both permits the Bush Administration to violate international rules of war and protects them from any repercussions for doing so by prohibiting the court from striking down the entire Act preemptively, and retroactively, ex post facto defines new crimes and punishments. Therefore, this legislation provides amnesty for unreliable WMD and 9/11 data extracted from illegal simulated death-burials in Egypt and the treatment of Guantanamo Bay POWs during 2001-06 which failed to meet Geneva requirements. Can we expect U.N. intervention? Not likely, especially considering the U.S. retains the power to veto.

Anyone who donates to a charity considered by the Bush Administration as a 'terrorist organization' could be declared an 'unlawful enemy combatant' and imprisoned indefinitely. In times of war and national crisis, the government has targeted immigrants and dissidents. Anyone who speaks out against the government's policies is subject to the same treatment in our generation's version of the Alien and Sedition Acts.

The dissidents of today are tomorrow's political prisoners. Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer warned Americans, "They better watch what they say, watch what they do." And if they don't? No problem. Halliburton's subsidiary KBR announced on January 24 that it had been awarded a $385 million contingency contract by the Department of Homeland Security to build detention camps in the U.S.

Still not worried? Please to take the time to consider why the Bush Administration felt it necessary to pass HR 6166, destroy our Constitution, and legalize torture and war crimes. The Founding Fathers understood that the biggest threat to a country comes not from an external enemy, but from the government itself. "They hate our freedoms," President Bush is so fond of saying. With bills such as the USA PATRIOT Act and the Military Commissions Act, doesn't it make you wonder who the real terrorists are?

Jello for President 2008!

I think his votes would triple x pi + maybe 1/3 of myspace after 8 years of G Dubya. Statistical bullshit...

I'm posting this for those of you who bitch and moan that some things need to change but have no idea what to do about it. Campaigning is hard work for 2 people (SEP in 2000 opposing the Bush campaign), but the Greens, flake-y they may be, have a solid voter base and the resources to at least put a dent into the Democrats/Republicrats. You can't beat them if you don't tear down their credibility first with the only arsenal you've got. That's my philosophy, at least, which is why I actually campaigned for a Socialist party.

Biafra ran for mayor of San Francisco in 1979, winning 3% of the vote, placing 4th out of 10 candidates. The Greens nominated him for president in 2000. Here's some of his proposals. My only major critique is abolishing the military... I think it should be reformed, but every nation needs warriors. I'm no fan of the founding fathers, but they did understand that military was to be used as actual national security, not an imperialistic police force.

Now, it's probably safe to predict that Jello won't be running in 2008, and though I can't really think of a better candidate (!), I'm sure one of you reading this wouldn't mind! If you want a running mate, I volunteer for VP (definite worst-case scenario) cause I don't really dig on public speaking...

Anyway, for those of you who don't know who Jello Biafra is... mwahahhaaaa! Watch the video below and check out the Dead Kennedys, Lard (my favorite!), and various other collaborations and spoken word.

FUCK YOU, I'M DRUNK

Fuck you for throwing away a friendship that meant more than your shitty band ever will.

This isn't even about me, you cockmagnet. Not even close. I am an empathetic bastard so fuck off. Think about that the next time you tell me I'm hot, in your inebriated daze... "Let's hang out..." FUCK YOU, you don't even know who the fuck I am.

Is it money you care about? Fame? Popularity? WHAT?

You can have all of this and still be empty... You'll still be a slave to the population and its expectations, its criticisms, it's so-called divine knowledge of what's fucking cool this very moment.

FUCK YOU, YOU POSEUR. Some day, I swear you'll regret... selling out.

Weapons Testing for Crowd Control

Air Force Chief Proposes Testing Weapons on U.S. Civilians as a Means of Crowd Control
September 12, 2006, Washington, DC

Secretary Michael Wynne says nonlethal weapons should be tested on U.S. civilians before being used on the battlefield.

"If we're not willing to use it here against our fellow citizens, then we should not be willing to use it in a wartime situation," said Wynne. "(Because) if I hit somebody with a nonlethal weapon and they claim that it injured them in a way that was not intended, I think that I would be vilified in the world press."
