ORWELL AND NIEMOLLER IN TODAY’S WORLD

Posted In: A Dose Of Reality, Bread and Circuses for the Masses, Divided We Fall


 

Greetings from Calico Blackie!

The title of today’s column refers to Reverend Niemoller and his famous quote.

First, they came for the Occupiers, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t an “Occupier.”

Then, they came for the Anaheim Protesters fighting against killer cops, and I didn’t speak up because I’m not in Anaheim.

Then, they came for the lawful gun owners, and I didn’t speak up because I’m not a gun owner.

Next they will come for the livestreamers for showing the people the truth, and we won’t speak up because we’re not livestreamers.

Then, they will come to enslave us all, and there will be no one left to speak for us.

Not to mention that chicken is pumped full of hormones and GMO poison.

Who else thinks this “lawful order to disperse” crap makes damn near every freedom loving American capable of thinking for themselves cringe?

Freedom of assembly, even PEACEFUL ASSEMBLY until the cops tell you to stop makes me REAL uncomfortable.

Another thing happening is we’re still allowing ourselves to be sidetracked and led by the 1% and their border collie mainstream media.

We get herded away from issues that have a direct effect on the 1% and we go straight for the issues that have absolutely no effect on Wall Street or their wholly-owned subsidiary in Washington DC..

AND WE FALL FOR IT.

I’m not saying Chic-Fil-A is right in their stance.

They’re wrong.

But, in the big picture, who cares what they think? Don’t like their views? Don’t eat there. Boycott. Let the bigoted idiots eat there all they want.

Imagine sterile hillbillies?

Let them fatten up on genetically modified and hormone treated foods. Remember the study conducted on lab rats which were fed a diet of genetically modified food?

They (the rats) were fine, but 100% of their grandchildren were born sterile.

So, maybe Monsanto and Chic-Fil-A can team up and rid us of these idiots.

Here is the technical data:  http://www.scribd.com/doc/52607416/Rats-Bedded-GMO-Corn-Become-Sterile

Meanwhile, we get poisoned by our food, the air we breathe is getting worse, the economy is in the toilet, human rights are taking a beating (yeah, I know: Chick-Fil-A), the police are militarized, and the only part of our American Constitution the politicians seem to give a shit about is the Fifth Amendment.

So, what can we do? We OCCUPY!

But when I talk to some of my more liberal minded friends about these topics and how it seems as if The Occupy Movement is the main voice speaking out against corruption, greed, oppression, poison in our food, and police violence, what do I hear?

“Part of the problem was that you didn’t have a well defined message and couldn’t police yourselves. So you got pacifists, animal rights people, communists, anarchists and vagrants all in one uncontrollable mass of people, sometimes with really bad results. See, e.g., Oakland.”

Calico Blackie says:

Yup, that misinformation campaign sure was effective, wasn’t it? All these hippies with no message pooping on cop cars and spreading their hippie lice need to be kept under control!

We’re so screwed as a country…

I’ll bet he keeps his pension at OUR expense

Meanwhile….

Officer John Pike of the UC Davis Police is no longer a cop.

So a worker bee gets fired and the folks in the admin building continue to draw their pay and perks.

Meanwhile, the restive natives run in circles displaying the scalp they took, thinking it’s some kind of victory.

He should be in jail right now and the people who authorized his brand of brutality should also be sharing his cell.

They threw us the piss-boy while the leaders got off scot-free. Pike was just their tool.

Nazi police action in 1938. We’ve already seen scenes like this here/now in the United States. So, what will cause the spark that ignites the prairie fire?

There is going to be a time, and I fear it is going to be soon, that with the over-militarization of the police and the enmity that it is earning with the populace will create an explosive situation.

People protest in a large number.

Police in riot gear show up.

Police tell people to disperse.

People refuse, since it is non-violent, legal protesting.

Something happens to escalate to violence (cop infiltrators throwing rocks?).

People collectively snap, turning on the police instead of trying to escape.

Since the people outnumber the police, police force gets brutalized, maybe even murdered.

Will history repeat itself? Will it again be confined to an isolated incident?

Then what?

I shudder to think that this could all be prevented by the police backing down off the militarization route they are on, and actually learn to do REAL police work, talk to the people they are supposed to protect.

When will the next Kent State, or Boston Massacre happen?

WHERE will it happen? It’s not a matter of “if” it happens anymore.

It’s going to happen, and we had better be mentally and physically ready for it.

So….

This got me to thinking: “Will the police shoot live ammunition and kill peaceful protesters in this country if they are ordered to do so?”

I posed this question to my friends on twitter who I know are in the “front lines” of the protest and Occupy Movements.

Here are some of their replies:

Kent State, 1968. The military was called in and four students were shot dead. Whatever became of the shooters who were “only following orders”? The whole world was watching and the police didn’t give a damn

“I think it depends drastically on the officer and the circumstances. I’d like to hope not.”

“Sadly, yes, I think those motherfuckers will.”

“Only if they want people to fire back and declare martial law, which is unnecessary and counterproductive for the M-I-C. So, no.”

“In A Peaceful Protest , The World Is Watching.”

“It depends on the cop. Heck, even on the city.”

“I think smart fascists know people are better controlled when there’s no body count.”

“Maybe even when not ordered to. I’m just waiting.”

“Yes.”

Calico Blackie says:

Oh yeah, they’ll kill us alright. And maybe even a few of them might lose their jobs after a few months of “administrative leave with pay.” There will be the usual hand-wringing, and people will slap another ribbon on their car, but basically, nothing will be done about it…..

UNLESS WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

My “live ammunition” question also drew these two responses…

The “2nd Amendment folks” have already fired at the militarized police forces. AND THEY’RE BETTER EQUIPPED TO DO SO THAN WE “OCCUPIERS” ARE. Time to form alliances?

“What do you think the perception of the militarization of the police is by conservative “2nd amendment” folks?”

“When do you think 2nd amendment folks will fire live ammo at govt entities? Isn’t the tyranny they have been waiting for here?”

Calico Blackie says:

Unfortunately, any time there is a Ruby Ridge, a Waco, or a Pine Ridge, the citizens who wouldn’t allow themselves to be pushed around by the government and insisted that their rights be respected, are branded as “nutcases” by the mainstream media.

The “nutcases” are either killed or imprisoned and we tend to forget all about it within the week.

Why do we forget?

We either get “Chic-Fil-A’d” or some celebrity gets divorced and/or shows their ass.

Meanwhile, John Pike is still roaming free to show up next as a cop in YOUR town.

The Waco ATF thugs are still on the job.

The FBI sniper that murdered a woman at Ruby Ridge is drawing his pension.

And the Kent State killers all got to go on with their lives as if nothing ever happened.

AND, Leonard Peltier is still sitting in prison for what happened at Pine Ridge.

People: We’ve got to fight and NEVER LET UP!

Our oppressors might already be too strong to defeat. They have the weapons. They have the media. They have the majority of the people bamboozled and hypnotized.

They’re killing our bodies and our brains with their prescription drugs, their GMO foods, and their worthless “Reality” shows.

Is this the future you want?

LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES….

GUN OWNERS AND GUN CONTROL ADVOCATES…

FREEDOM LOVERS EVERYWHERE…

UNITE AGAINST OPPRESSION!!

Here is what I see happening now and in the immediate future in our country:

First, our “freedom” will be severely limited and we will be subjected to an overwhelming torrent of propaganda from the 1% and their media.

Then, strict gun control laws will be enacted and only the criminals and the criminal police forces will have weapons.

He tried to warn us

Next, the livestreamers will all be rounded up and “re-educated.” Some might even turn on us and “livestream” what the cops tell them to film.

Then, any form of dissent will be denounced in the press as the work of “nutcases.”

Any remaining form of protest will be crushed.

We will ALL be slaves at the mercy of the 1%.

It might already be too late to 1776, but I’ll die trying to prevent 1984.

Are you with me?

Left or Right…

Conservative or Liberal…

NO MATTER HOW UNEASY – WE’VE GOT TO FORM ALLIANCES.

We’ve got to put aside our differences to fight the REAL enemy.

The other day I heard somebody gleefully announce: HAVE YOU SEEN ANAHEIM? IT’S ON! IT’S STARTED!

Heh. I won’t believe “it’s on” until a group of protesters gets kettled and another group of protesters arrives, overpowers the police, and frees the people being kettled.

I wont believe “it’s started” until we have another Pine Ridge, Ruby Ridge, or Waco-style siege by the Feds and local police, and another large group of citizens counterattacks the Feds from the outside and leads a breakout/rescue attempt.  

Until then, we’re just getting our asses kicked in the name of liberty.

Keep the faith.

ARE WE DOOMED? BUY A GUN!

Greetings from Calico Blackie in Rural America!

Why should they care? They've got us by the balls

The mood here in rural America is getting real ugly.

Where I live, gasoline is at $4.84 a gallon, groceries are priced so high that people can’t afford to eat anymore and there is no end in sight.

People would move (if they still can afford to move), but the attitude here is “Why move and be poor somewhere else?”

And:

“Why move to the city and be there when it all goes to hell when you have a better chance surviving a collapse out here in the woods?”

To us, it’s no longer a matter of “if” it all goes to hell, but “when” it all goes to hell.

We have a different mindset out here and if you don't like it, you can go fuck yourself

We’re detached from the mainstream, so maybe we have a better view of things from the outside looking in.

It’s as if we’re watching a frog in a pan of water on the stove slowly being boiled to death as Wall Street and their wholly owned subsidiary in Washington DC keeps increasing the heat.

That’s how we view you “city folk.” Only we see two frogs in the pan.

A democrat frog and a republican frog, both fighting with each other while they’re slowly boiling to death.

Out here, people are getting fatalistic and also getting inventive. They’re raising their own animals and crops on mini-farms. They’re attaching old lawn mower engines to bicycles and riding horses more. They’re cutting corners in every way imaginable.

If you're still buying bagged salads because they're convenient, then you deserve what you get. E-Coli, salmonella, listeria.

Farm fresh eggs, garden vegetables, home-baked bread and foods not laden with poison additives and preservatives taste better.

Maybe it’s a good thing that we’re finally breaking away from being so technology dependent, but being forced by poverty in “the greatest country in the world” to embrace these cost cutters is shameful.

But, out of sight, out of mind. Nobody in the big cities could give a shit what we do here, much less our “leaders” and politicians.

When we do turn on our televisions, or watch the mainstream news, what do we see?

LIP SERVICE AND FEEL GOOD STORIES

For example…..

Keira Knightley engaged to Klaxons singer James Righton

The 27-year-old actress has been dating Righton, 28, who sings and plays keyboards in the London-based rock band, since early 2011. The pair reportedly met through their mutual friend, fashion icon Alexa Chung.

Keira shown here looking as if she just had a severe bout of Norovirus and Salmonella. Gads! She looks like a concentration camp inmate

Knightley rose to fame after appearing in the 2002 film, “Bend It Like Beckham.” She has since appeared in three “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, “Love Actually,” “Pride & Prejudice,” “Atonement,” “Never Let Me Go” and “Last Night.”

She will next appear opposite Steve Carell in the dark comedy, “Seeking a Friend for the End of the World,” which is slated for release on June 22, 2012.

Calico Blackie says:

So, you see, we’re either fed a steady diet of entertainment “news” interspersed with a few other “feel good” stories, or we’re told why Obamney-Romama will kill/save America.

At some point all you Political Hacks will realize nobody is looking out for everyday people. Both Parties rely on discontent in order to fuel their agenda, and make no mistake about it, Wall Street and Big Oil owns both Parties.

Here was the other feel good story that greeted me this morning:

From The Joseph Goebbels’ Ministry (MSNBC)

Consumers’ mood rises as pump prices fall

WE HAVEN'T GOT A PRAYER

“At least we’re saving money at the gas pump. That seems to be the takeaway from the latest monthly read on the sentiment of American consumers by the widely watched Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan survey.”

“The index moved up to 79.3 in May, from 76.4 in April, bouncing off a deep bottom. Last August, when Congress nearly drove the Treasury into default, the index fell to levels of gloom normally seen in a deep recession.”

“Helped by an ongoing slide in gasoline prices, half of all consumers said the economy had improved during the past year. Buying plans for vehicles and household durables also improved, helped by expectations for bigger paychecks. Wealthier households are expecting their incomes to rise by 2 percent in the year ahead; lower income households expect just a 0.3 percent gain.”

“The main driver of the brighter outlook seems to be the very visible gains consumers are seeing when they buy gasoline.”

and here:

http://economywatch.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/25/11881753-consumers-mood-rises-as-pump-prices-fall?threadId=3427876&commentId=66415073#c66415073

Calico Blackie says:

We should be thankful. We should thank our leaders. We live in the greatest country in the world!

More lies and we don’t believe them anymore. BUT,  we do play partisan politics about it and that’s exactly what the corporations and their media wants us to do.

Divide and conquer, and we’re stupid enough to fall for it every time.

Here on the California-Oregon border, gas is $4.84 a gallon.

The highest price ever.

It’s time to throw out the partisan politics shell game they pull on us and time to realize that our leaders & their corporate masters are all the same & don’t care about us.

And, the comments after that ridiculous “gas prices fall” article clearly demonstrated that we, the people, are no longer buying the lies.

For example:

“Gas prices dropped a dime, but the cost of food is increasing exponentially, and NOT a word anywhere. Steaks I could buy last year for $5.99 a pound (Costco) are now $13.99 a pound. Coffee was $7.99 a bag, now $18.99 a bag. Lets not go into the cost of eggs, or sugar, or bread, or fruit, or anything else consumers use.”

“So yes I whole heartedly agree…. political BS, spewed by the highly partisan (MS)NBC”

And…..

“Consumer confidence is up? Either MSNBC is fudging the stats here or this country is filled with idiots!”

Too bad. And there isn't a goddamned thing we can do about it now

“Hello folks, while all the world is collapsing around us, those who are buying into this B.S. either have their head in the sand or are fast asleep.”

“Gas prices at this time two years ago was 2.75 a gallon. The presstitutes want to instill in you a false sense of security so that you will borrow and spend for their corporate masters. What has changed in our economy to bring up this optimism?”

“How can our country be in recovery mode when nearly 47 million people need food stamps to feed themselves?”

“The banksters aren’t lending to small businesses and losing their a$$e$ in the derivatives market ala JP Morgan Chase and MF Global. Citigroup, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, and Bank Of America have yet to fess up to their involvement in the derivatives and credit default swap fiasco.”

“If the recovery was really true, wouldn’t our deficit be shrinking? Instead we are breaking records. According to the Washington Times we had our worst monthly deficit in history in February, 229 billion dollars, March’s was 188.2 billion. Our fiscal deficit is already 777 billion dollars in 2012.”

“Does that show a sign of strength?”

Calico Blackie says:

Dive in. The water is nice and hot

ANYWAY……

So, the people are catching on to the bullshit and are fed up. SO WHAT?

How many of the fed up people “catching on” still refer to the Occupiers and other protesters as “filthy dirty hippies” while the temperature on the stove is reaching the boiling point?

How many of them will loudly complain and then pay their money at the pump? How many of them would scream for “justice” and arrests if a group of citizens, fed up with high gas prices, started torching gas stations?

How many of them would be horrified if a mob showed up at the GOP and Democratic National Conventions and “strung up” a few candidates?

THIS is how we're portrayed by the very same people who complain about the government, but they're too stupid to see the real culprits

Those “fed up” people will just continue to allow themselves to be screwed, the whole while they are also condemning the Occupiers for trying to help end the downhill slide.

There are literally thousands of people out there who still believe the lies of the media.

“It’s them queers causing our problems.”

“It’s them illegals causing our problems.”

“It’s them Occupiers causing our problems. Look at how much it costs the police to beat them down.”

That’s why we might be doomed. We fight amongst ourselves, instead of FORCING Wall Street and DC to uphold the Constitution. As long as we do that, the “powers that be” could care less how loud or often we protest. They don’t care if we’re fed up.

It’s time for continued action before we really ARE doomed. May 1st was nice, but we’ve got to do it all week-every week.

FIGHT AGAINST GREED AND CORRUPTION.

FIGHT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS.

This is why every Occupier should own a gun and know how to use it

Oh, and to all you gun-control advocates out there, I say:

REMEMBER: “Remember without a gun, the flag you’re waving might as well be white.”

I’m not saying “use it” but they’ll think twice if they know we’re all “in possession” of one.

OCCUPY WALL STREET

STOP THE SHIP…LET’S FIX IT!

by Calico Blackie on April 19, 2012 at 1:07 pm
Posted In: Big Brother, Divided We Fall


 

Greetings from Calico Blackie!

**WARNING** NOT SAFE FOR WORK IMAGES IN TODAY’S COLUMN!

Have we already hit the iceberg, or is there still time?

Another rainy day out here in the forested middle of nowhere. A good day to stoke the woodstove, make bean soup for tonight and write.

I’ve been watching and reading the news lately and this thought occurred to me:

Our society can be likened to a sinking ship.

Guess what?

There’s not enough room in the lifeboats for all of us.

There’s not enough lifeboats and we are in the process of arguing over who gets a place in the boats. Who’s “rights” are the most important? Who gets to be first into the lifeboat? All this infighting instead of banding together to fix the ship while there’s still time before we all drown.

If we work together for human rights, the rest falls into place

Women and Children first!

Women’s rights!

Animal rights!

Veterans Rights!

Workers rights!

Gay and Lesbian rights!

Minority rights!

All saying: ME FIRST!

The list of groups clamoring for their rights is endless.

Everyone wants their place in the boats while the ship sinks around them.

Screw everybody else.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO WORKING TOGETHER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS?

They don't give a damn about you. Their place in the lifeboat is assured

Whenever I try to make this point to a conservative Republican, I’m accused of being a “dirty hippie” or worse, a “commie.”

Whenever I try to make this point to a liberal Democrat, I’m accused of being a “knuckle dragging moron” or worse, A “Nazi.”

Whatever happened to Abraham Lincoln’s concept of:  “With malice toward none, with charity for all?”

With every separate group in this country screaming ME FIRST, it’s no wonder that we get exploited by the 1% and their wholly owned subsidiary in Washington, DC. We’ve become an Idiocracy.

Their place in the lifeboat is assured too

And it isn’t just America we’re talking about here.

It’s England, Germany, France, Russia and every “developed” nation in the world that is taking part in the idiot-fest.

We’ve become unwitting and ignorant tools and pawns on a sinking ship to nowhere.

This “me first” way of thinking serves only to divide us in our struggle and to splinter us into a hundred different and ineffective factions, thus playing directly into the hands of the “powers that be.”

We’re idiots! The 1% has no intention of giving us a place in their lifeboat, and they are deliberately steering the ship directly towards the iceberg.

Don't let us be divided and co-opted. UNITE BEHIND THE ORIGINAL PHILOSOPHY OF BREAKING THE GREED AND CORRUPTION CYCLE IN WALL STREET AND DC

You and me don’t get a place in the lifeboat.

That’s why we had better unite and work together to steer the ship before it hits the iceberg, or to fix the ship before it sinks.

Work together to fight for HUMAN rights.

WORK TOGETHER AND OCCUPY!

If we do this, the rest will fall into place like data sets in a well constructed research design.

The other day, on twitter, I saw a tweet from a group calling itself “The Womens Caucus of OWS.”  Women’s caucus…..Let that sink in for a minute.

HERE'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY TO YOUR GODDAMNED CAUCUS!

The very concept of a “caucus” within the Occupy Wall Street Movement is divisive and counterproductive.

It does nothing to help the cause of the 99%.

It sends the wrong message to the 1% and to the masses.

The media will paint us out to be nothing more than a bunch of militant twats who are only concerned for their rights.

Their place in the lifeboat.

We HAVE to stay united.

But, will we do this? Will we unite and work together for the common good?

Will we band together to fix the ship?

Or, instead of fighting for human rights, will we all just fight for our individual causes, and then try to beg a place in the lifeboats of the rich and famous?

Will we continue to play partisan politics in a game that is rigged against us from the get-go?

Have you read about this? Did you know this? Or, have you been too busy?

Check out this little news item:

Congress Is About To Pass A Bill With New Restrictions On Traveling, Driving And International Banking

While we've been busy with our "caucuses" and partisan politics, Barbara Boxer is about to shove her thumb up your ass

“The U.S. Passport Act of 1926 is an obscure piece of legislation that was enacted decades ago when the idea of passports started catching fire around the world.”

“Several years ago, the law was modified to provide the Secretary of State with the authority to revoke or deny a passport to any U.S. citizen convicted of engaging in immoral acts with minors overseas.”

Calico Blackie says:

Sounds ok so far….But wait! There’s more…………….

“Until now, this has been the only instance of excluding a U.S. citizen from travel abroad. But if Senator Barbara Boxer gets her way, there’s going to be one more.”

"Look at all those deadbeats about to drown!"

“As part of Senate Bill 1813 (known as MAP-21), Congress has inserted language that would oblige the Secretary of State to revoke or deny a passport to any U.S. citizen who the IRS Commissioner deems as having “seriously delinquent tax debt.”

“Bear in mind, this is strictly an administrative procedure; there is no due process.

By comparison, even pedophiles go in front of a judge before losing their passports.”

“Something is wrong with this picture.”

Calico Blackie says:

I’m sure there are those of you that will still say: “So what? Screw those deadbeats that are delinquent with the IRS!”

But wait! There’s yet more. Now, how much will we pay? The article continues……

Barbara Boxer....BB....Big Brother

“In what may be one of the most depraved Big Brother moves on record, section 31406 of the bill makes it mandatory for “black box” event recorders to be installed in every new passenger vehicle starting with model year 2015.”

“Section 31504 requires the development of special alarm systems designed to remind drivers that there are other passengers in the vehicle.”

“Then there are provisions for more taxpayer funding to subsidize the massively loss-making Amtrak … plus calls to develop more national, regional, and state-owned railways across the country.”

Calico Blackie says:

UNITE AND BREAK THE STRANGLEHOLD

See what they did there? We ALL get to have tracking devices in our cars starting in 2015.

A device that will track your every move.

A device that can disable your vehicle with the touch of a remotely triggered button by the government.

Democrat or Republican…..

THEY DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU!

Speaking of Republicans…..The GOP has trotted out another one of their nutcases in an attempt to divide us.

Did you see this story?

Ted Nugent after Obama rant backlash: ‘Soulless subhumans are in a tizzy’

An American Coward. He's endorsed Mitt Romney for President

“Ted Nugent says “soulless subhumans are in a tizzy over too much trust and logic” after a rant he made about President Barack Obama drew the attention of the world … and the Secret Service.”

“The right-wing rock musician and outspoken advocate for gun owners’ rights had said at a recent National Rifle Convention that he will “either be dead or in jail by this time next year” if Obama is re-elected in the November election and also called on his fellow Republican voters to channel “Braveheart” and “ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off” at the ballot.”

Link is here:  http://www.ontheredcarpet.com/Ted-Nugent-after-Obama-rant-backlash:-Soulless-subhumans-are-in-a-tizzy/8626124&cmp=emc-otrc-Todays_entertainment_news-041812-top1-8626124 

Calico Blackie says:

Oh, forget it. Here's a Claire Danes nipple-slip for you. It's hopeless. We're gonna drown

See what they did there? The GOP allowed this draft-dodging idiot “right-wing rock musician and outspoken advocate for gun owners’ rights” to rant like a crazy fool just so that the issues would become even more muddied and devolve into a debate about gun rights in America.

That’s right. Distract us from the REAL issues and further divide us.

Then, show us nipples and Dances With the Stars.

Show us American Idol.

Use Barbara Boxer and Ted Nugent to tear us and our Constitution apart.

I support the CONSTITUTION….ALL OF IT!

But, I sure as hell don’t support “Nutcase Nugent” which is what the liberals will say about me.

I sure as hell don’t support “Big Brother Barbara Boxer” either, which is what the conservatives will say about me.

I support the CONSTITUTION. I support OUR RIGHTS – OUR HUMAN RIGHTS!

I support trying to help our fellow human beings feel a little better.

I occasionally give homeless people money.  I don’t donate to charity because it makes me feel better.

I donate because it’s the right thing to do.

Every once in awhile I hear someone get all superior and say something like:

“I give them food, that way they wont spend it on liquor or drugs.”

To which I say:

“If they want to buy liquor or drugs screw it. Their life is shitty, let them do whatever they want to feel better if only for a little while.”

You hear it all the time:

This is how the self-righteous want to see poor people, AND they would say she shouldn't be wasting their food stamp money on hamburger and chairs. SUCH EXTRAVAGANCE!

It’s basically, “if you’re on any form of assistance what-so-ever, you aren’t ever allowed to feel joy or happiness”.

Why just liquor and drugs? Why not say:

“if the poor spend any money on a movie, or an x-box game” also?

Is it really about doing illegal stuff? Do they lose their benefits if they get a speeding ticket, a DUI, or any other conviction?

No.

It’s all about “if you’re poor, you suck and should suffer.”

Is it helping them get off the street? No, but neither is the Big Mac you bought them from the dollar menu, so don’t think you are helping them any more than I am, you self-righteous shit.

Somewhere, our priorities went astray

It’s about helping people feel better.

It’s about trying to get each other through hard times.

Why not try rehabilitation instead of scorn and conviction?

HUMAN RIGHTS.

LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

Screw the lifeboats. Screw the “caucus.”

Forget partisan politics. It’s a trap.

UNITE AND FIX THE SHIP!

It’s all gone wrong and we’ve lost our way. Our “leaders” are pointing us toward the iceberg. RE-TAKE CONTROL.

Cast off their bullshit. See things in a different light. THERE ISN’T ENOUGH LIFEBOATS.

I’ll just leave this here…………

Re-take control

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear.

They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small.

They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else.

They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate.

They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that.

Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours.

It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use.

You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing.

Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you.

They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.
