The Resistance

[BO]

Thought we might need a thread for news of civil disobedience, resistance and beyond. 

My 12 yo son told me the other day that the baby boomers were responsible for the world going to shit. I told him he was right. There were a few of us who held to our youthful ideals, but truth is..the vast majority of the boomer generation turned out to be scumbags. 

But what caught my attention was the fact that my twelve year old was echoing a new sentiment. Nope, he doesn't blame me--not yet anyway. But, it is interesting that he's already looking for someone to blame. His eyes are beginning to see through the bullshit. He gets it. 

Here's to those that fight back...

Something tells me this is going to be significant...God bless 'em.

Toronto is spending a billion dollars on security. That dwarfs anything spent in Europe so far.

Well... the heart of the matter at SC:
__________
Know how "9/11 truthers" and creationists are exactly alike?

-- Their belief is based on faith -- what they know to be true.

-- They begin with a conclusion and bend science to make it "prove" their preconceived notions.

-- They enter under the guise of "we just want ask questions" when in reality they're not interested in a discussion. They already have all the answers worked out and want the rest of us to accept them without question.

-- They can't be reasoned with.

Sorry. With all due respect, my web site is fact-based.

This topic is not open to debate. All followups to this comment will be deleted.

If anyone is motivated to put their wallet back in their pocket as a result of what I just said, I'll just have to live with it.

I was happy with the single frame, "911 Skeptics." I believed... still do... and based on "facts," by the way... that the "official story" is ... well, flawed. To say the least. It is "creationist" to let it go with the "official story" And it should be evident by now that "what is wrong" has little to do with "B$h" or "republicrats" or any of that diversionary horseshit. The greatest diversion of all was "911." Question is, "diversion" from what?

Well for one thing, the derivative heist. This has been going on since... oh... about 1999. Or how about "election" rigging in 2000 and in 2004. Or the big penny... there IS NO fucking US "government." The last gasp of the illusion is the fake divide between "conservatives" and "liberals" or that the "peepul" have anything whatsoever to do with their own fate... other than to keep themselves distracted and docile. And the greatest of these is docile.

The Resistance in Toronto... and all over the world... are the few who realize the global skeksis oligarchs are meeting again to divide the pie among themselves. The US oligarchy can't save "capitalism" any more than the Soviet oligarchy could save "communism." It will collapse. The oligarchs can't prevent it. Peeps in the US are reaching a tipping-point on the "911" narrative. Queen Teedie, living in New Yonk... has this Variety Magazine world-view. It's all about the actors and the sock puppets. And, of course, it's MY website... unless he wants some coin.

Some of us "boomers" saw the scam when we realized the "cold war" was mostly bullshit. The USSR was real... and THEY really DID/do have WMDs. But we began to realize the Russians loved their children too... and that the "global communist conspiracy" was basically horseshit. We tried to "demonstrate" this... and for our trouble we got clonked on the head... murdered... the "war on drugs" (another lie that is getting moribund) got ramped up. They suppressed our asses but good. The few who were willing to try violence were hunted down or killed. Most of us realized that "revolution" was just falling into the oligarch trap. Not enough "normals" could see through the shit... they never do until it affects them personally.

So a lot of us got cynical. I know I did. If you looked up don't-give-a-fuck in 1980, you would have seen my picture. Fuck saving the world. The "world" doesn't deserve it. That was... until 1989 when my baby girl Amelia was born. The grinch's heart grew three sizes that day... and she had a 6lb7oz chunk of it wrapped around her baby finger. Well... now they're 18 and 21... and they have been raised to see through the bullshit. They're on their own now. That was the best ms.waldo and I could do.

I'm getting a lot more traction (among the stoods) with "Al Qaeda does not exist" then I ever could with "911 was an inside job." I'm not exactly sure this meme unpacks so much more easily, but it does. And it takes them to exactly the same place... that our perception has been deliberately manipulated... by whom and for what reason... that's the great question, isn't it?

Edit: I'm off to The Energy Fair again this year... so will be off-line for a while.

that looks cool, i emailed the link to a friend we go to see every summer. he live in ettrick, wi a few hours away.

[waldopaper]

Well it's about 6 hrs. until departure and there's no way im gonna cop any zs, it's cool tho... cos i gots me a special legal prescription stash of 300-sortie fighter pilot pillz especially for finals weeks when i gotta read a skillion papers an hour. shift work disorder, it is, Nuvigil. weird stuff. really works. no side effects... just stay awake. for a long foogin time- like 24 hrs. no nasty "speed" feeling at all. shit... i used to like speed. now it just makes me feel like jumping in the shower and hosing my skin sack down the plug-hole. greasy yuk.

the kids just got back... just a few minutes ago. been gone about a week up to the UP. got used to a quiet house. that stopped immediately as the first thing Zeke did was get downstairs and whale on his drums. i did miss Sid tho... and Kismet doesn't make the trip any more. she hates riding in the car. oh- and shut-the-fuck up the loudest flownekatze went to forever kittyplace. i cant remember whether i said anything about that or not. i gotta compose something about that stoopid cat. yeah... least of us... from our ranks... i said somethin about that, didn't i? oh- and and some more kids showed up the minute our kids got here. like radar. or cell phones. or some sorta madness.

now the girlz were talkin drama and i just gave one of em a lift somewhere so somebody could do something. i had a hard time remembering names tonight. did a class... and i could remember titles and plots... but spaced the authors' names completely. saw one of my "colleagues" in the hall. couldn't remember their name either- but it was on the door behind them... so at least i made the connection there. crap. this is how it begins, isn't it? just fading in and out like an ol radio. no big deal. that's why we got computers. now nobody has to remember anything. we all just hicks gulpin the Styx.

Hey- just killin some time here. and i swear to dop i aint even dropped a 300-sortie pod yet. our youthful ideals... at least i haven't forgotten those yet. give peas a chance n shit. they would have none of that... which is why memorial days are starting to give me a serious case of the burning ass every year. all the flag flapping and wallowing on graves. gives me the fukkin creeps. it escapes me how you can justify the last major fuckup by fucking up again. hey- yer gonna fuck up again. oh no no no... the last one wasn't a fuckup and besides- this is different. whoops. it's the same. well... the last one wasn't a fuckup so neither is this. pffffzt.

so up goes eye to check out some good green stuff... where people are hip to energy as the first step. that's one way to fight back. keep a light on... the room cozy... and don't fight nothin at all. so nighty night...

and dont let the bad slugs fight.

Have a good time. Or, I should say, hope you had a good time.

You know you're getting old when moss starts growing on your north side. And in your butt. And yeah, my own tuner seems to be getting fewer channels there dayz--not to mention the static.

Careful with the pills. Don't want you blowin' a fuse again.

Interesting that some states are starting to defy the Obama administration.

"A New Orleans federal judge lifted the six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling imposed by President Barack Obama following the largest oil spill in U.S. history."

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-06-22/u-s-deepwater-oil-drilling...

This, on top of the feds' futile attempt to declare Arizona's new illegal immigrant enforcement law illegal, seems Obama is being told by a number of states--to go fuck himself.

Isn't this how our last civil war got started?

Judge had shares in the oil industry

Go figure.....

I wasn't prepared for peak oil to lead to total devastation of the planet. I guess I still am a bit naive when it comes to how short-sighted and depraved greedy capitalists can be.

[BO]

You know, if I was a religious man, I'd say the devil has returned. So, where the fuck is jesus 2.0?

"He is one of many federal judges across the Gulf Coast region with money in oil and gas."

These fuckers need to be tarred and feathered.

[waldopaper]

"Isn't this how our last civil war got started?"

precisely. we are all hutus and tutsis now... waiting for the man on the radio to tell us when to begin killing each other.

After a heavy rainstorm in Louisiana there is brown bubbly stuff that smells of oil all over the city streets and the grass, everywhere.

[waldopaper]

just pissed away most of the day watching Passchendale on-line. Great monologue:

"Listen to me. Forests burn because they have to. And oceans... they go up and down because they have to... and I don't think we're that different. If you want to get through this, you gotta start seeing it for what it is. It's something we do all the time because we're good at it. And we're good at it because we're used to it. And we're used to it because we do it all the time. You better hang on to something. The guns are coming."

"Self" and "other." You could go through krakkkerland with a coupla pens and put red dots and blue dots on foreheads... and that would be enough. They can't get through the fact that "self" is an illusion... and if there is a "self," there must be an "other." The idea that some anonymous fuck just came through with a pen and put dots on our heads is remote as quantum physics. Colts fans... Chevy drivers... even FOX News Watchers will do to define "self" and "other" as much as a forehead-ink-dot. It doesn't take much. And that's where we are here. What is there to "resist?" Obviously... the stoopid fucks who insist on dominating the "self" and "other" paradigm. Whoooops.

You better hold on to something. The guns are coming. Well... maybe it's time to let go. If you lose, you're only losing your life. And what does "get through this" REALLY mean? Yeah, you can get through the skirmish... get through the battle... but nobody gets through this alive. Survive and plant seeds... is that it? Seeds of what? For whom? That ain't nothin but the chemicals in our brains... like forests burning... because we have to. Well... DO we? How much of "this" do you want to "get through?" How much of this have you been through already?

Maybe letting go is the tightest grip of all.
