The fucked thing about hard truth is when you know, you know, and I know. Peace and Social Justice, not military school and salute while you chant at flags or political rhetoric is where you find me, if you can follow my thinking. I'm not easy to redirect, either.
I remember Viet Nam and Co-Intelpro and the Pentagon Papers and I remember them well. All the murder and rip offs we have inflicted upon ourselves and worldwide since and before, I feel intensely. It's always been hard on me remembering what was really going on then, and it's just as hard to know that it's still going on now. It used to make me feel like I was going crazy. I started behaving badly, civily disobediently speaking, around 1969. I'm still on it.
I admit, I'd like to go out and kick some ass but the ass is so big it would suck me up and I would be then rendered almost completely ineffective. So, I'm like an annoying little nat, a no-see-um' buzzing around and biting a little now and then when I can.
If I know and I don't resist, I'm implicit. If I don't argue and resist, I give my tacit approval. I have to do it. I can't stop. I'll never ever support war. I don't give one rats ass or even two monkeys asses why it is deemed to be necessary by the powers that be, it's always a lie and it's never the right thing to do.
I can't stand that murderers like GHWB and his Murder Cult walk away from mass murder and war crimes, free to live and walk about unchained, untried and aloof. Insulated by money and still invested in the technology of murder and stealing and lying . There are lots of them. The common thread is money, thats their sacrament. They worship money. I can't stop them, but I will never stop trying to.
George the 1st was and still is way into an investment group that specialized in investing in "defense technology", invading Iraq and using his hand built technology to kill about three quarters of a million people.
There is not one single thing right about it. He has made hundreds of millions of dollars from being involved in it. His daddy Prescott started the family fortune fucking around with Hitler for christsakes. This vetted and proven information is readily available, has been for thirty years or so. It's almost too horrible to comprehend. The apples didn't fall far from the tree though, did they?
So.... I hang around with anarchists, radicals, liberal leftists and progressives, people like me who try to do something about the degeneration of our culture into an ignorance and fear based existence. We look and we admit. Here is the most common thread that runs through our community. We're not scared.
"Homeland Security" is bullshit backwards and forwards and we won't be bullshitted. I admit it's surprising to me that we can still find out whats really going on as well as alarming that so few will look at the truth.
All 9/11 did for me was piss me off. I was not and have never been terrorized by Muslims any more than I have been by Presbyterians. I know who lives in the now uncivilized cradle of civilization and I am fucking ashamed of what this country did to them, is doing to them. I hate racism, I hate it. So, I won't stop, I'm in and I'm staying in.
The latest development? America has been almost fleeced to death. The banks are sending out armed officials to take property away from us, more and more every day. "It's not your house, it never was, you owe us, get out."
The bigger half of the media is a joke, a bad nasty joke, utterly compromised by the corporate ownership that has it in it's grip. Listen to anything owned by Comcast or Rupee Murdoch for two hours if you need proof, then look at how much they control of what you see and hear every day. Then read The Nation and recover some sanity. Sesame Street is OK in a pinch.
Over the years, I've tried to forget and ignore the US Government in a number of ways, but none worked for long. Few I ever vote for win so I used to try and feel uninvested. Well, I used to vote for Lynn Woolsey. I may not vote for her anymore. She went for the wall street bailout bullshit and hasn't apologized. Too bad, she was alright for a while.
I voted for a governor of Massachussetts once who won, George Dukakis. I always voted for my Uncle Jim too, a good man. Did I vote for Barack.? Ha Ha Ha Ha. How could a US Senator be surprised by the economic reality of his country like he was? He can't. It is not possible. He's a liar and a killer, just like the rest of them.
I know. I'll always know and I won't stop resisting. Peace and social justice may become the worldwide rule of law someday, or the nasty boys may blow us all to shit. The odds right now are with the nasty ones. They are not going to change their minds and will only refine their methods as long as we let them.
They fear only two things, the truth and an informed populace. As long as those two factors remain suspended, they will continue to come for us, to use us, one way or the other. They may even get me. But it's going to cost them. I'm not going quietly.
Onward through the fog, comrades.
Never give up.
