Seize DC and put as little trust as possible in the future…

Citizens for Legitimate Government are gearing up to Seize DC in September.  September, 10th would be the kick off.  Go here for more.

Protest can be a powerful tool if done right.  Marching around the block with your parade permit, stapled to your correctly spelled signs of protest…not so powerful. 

Shutting things down takes courage.  Courage takes commitment. Commitment and courage would be needed by many people, in many cities and burbs all across the Homeland.  Shutting things down takes desperate, hungry and fed up citizens who are sick of being Patriot Acted.

There is no draft.  Our desperate and hungry citizens would rather listen to Trump, Jon Stewart and the Disney Channel than help themselves.

It’ll also take more than Sean Penn and Maxine Waters.  Watching Ozzy and Jon Stewart perform in DC won’t shut anything down either.

We spend billions of dollars going to sporting events, movies, concerts and off-Broadway performances by George Costanza.  We spend even more time and money watching teevee, porn and eating at Applebee’s.

I’m sure the folks at SeizeDc know all of this: ‘so then tell us, smart ass blogging photographer guy…what should we do?’

Hey glad you guys asked!

First off, check out these kids in Tucson.  No permits were issued and no parades occurred.

Secondly, the Koch brothers, the FBI and Lockheed Martin aren’t ‘as stupid as they are think they is.’  Now the Border Patrol…sure, they’re idiots and they’re catching terrorists who speak Spanish…not Pashto…every day.  The Obama DEA are attacking marijuana smokers with cancer, while arming and funding the “drug cartels”….every day.

Obama’s DOD, the DOJ and the CIA are torturing POW’s, reading your emails and fighting a global war on terror…because Saudi Arabia attacked us and raised the price of gas.  We then invaded Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Mexico, Palestine and all we got was Janet Napolitano and Vietghanistan?

Yup.

Thirdly and most certainly lastly, unless there’s a draft or ILWU shuts down all of the ports…the Disney Channel will be on, porn will be available and our teevee’s will still be informing us.

Sure I’m a Debbie Downer.  No I didn’t re-invent the protest wheel.  Solutions to our troubles were not clearly addressed in my words, because I think grammar and sentence structure are for Prius drivers.

I bid thee good luck with the seizing.  Do skip Sean Penn and do talk to VFP, IVAW and Cindy Sheehan.  Get the teachers unions on board, cops, firefighters, the Teamsters, some black bloc’ers and most importantly…the Longshorman.  You get ILWU to shut down every port for as long as it takes…and the Koch Brothers will magically get Bush and Obama prosecuted.

It’s sad but true…but it’s all in the eye of the beholder.

Happy weekend Homelandia.

Long Days Short Nights

Posted in activism, apathy, change, economy, journalism, media, politics, The Homeland, Washington State Blogs with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 29, 2011 by lens1

One of those long days today.  Growing grass won’t cut itself, Safeway won’t make any money unless I go there and my truck that runs on troop supporting gas, won’t run without me supporting the troops by supporting BP.

Somewhere the Koch brothers are smiling.  Smiling and eating babies.

I’ve got a new link to share…check out Reasons to Kill, a book by Rich Rubenstein and his blog by the same name, click right here.

You’ll find Rich’s link over in the blogroll too…you do visit my
blogroll, yes?

Back at it asap.  Be Vigilant and stay thirsty.

Apartheid Rapture Your Snack Hole

A Peter Lippman photo!!

Dateline Seattle.  The issue?  Billboards.  The trouble?  Humans.

The solution?  Don’t read billboards.

This solution was easily come by, but it will cost Seattle about $27,000 dollars.  My solutions are easy, but they aren’t cheap.  Think of my invoice as a Gary Payton lay-up and you’ll be just fine Seattle.

I’m all about solutions.  Solutions and toast.  I love me some toast.

Anyway…it seems that the Rapture Ready Rapid Response Team, are allowed to put up offensive billboards of earth ending tomfoolery…while billboards depicting Israel as a nation that is engaging in war crimes and apartheid on our dime, are just not Kosher.

A not so good Amy Rolph photo

As you can see, Christ is planning to return on May 21, of this year.  Why Jesus chose to only communicate this important event with just two cult members…is why we still fight wars for oil.

For much, much far too much more on Billboard Storm 2011!, head on over to the Seattle Times and the Seattle PI.

As an aside, I’d like to point out that both papers are equally important, as they both use ‘the Seattle’ in their names.

So I guess we can either pack our bags, as the Rapture is just under a month away…or we can just stop reading billboards.

Now open your snack hole and feed it.

Ron Paul’s Lockbox

Posted in activism, apathy, change, congress, journalism, media, News, Northwest Politics, The Homeland, Washington State Blogs with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 28, 2011 by lens1

It’s funny because Al Gore had one too.  And look where that got us. 

My PBR drinking pals of the Democratic Party blame Ralph Nader for the Bush, but not for the Kerry.

John Kerry didn’t have a lockbox, but he did have John Edwards, which left many of us wanting Ralph Nader.

How does it feel to want?

It feels like Joe the Plumber commenting on Israel’s apartheid, from a position other than missionary.

Sure the Homeland doesn’t make sense, but that’s what pays Boeing’s bills.

And when Boeing’s bills are paid, that means jobs, illegal lobbying, endless war for profit and Teabaggers…who don’t know a conservative Democrat from Palin’s left nipple.

Naturally…all of this leads us to Ron Paul’s Lockbox.  Ron doesn’t dick around with double speak, half-truths or racist ideology, that’s what Rand Paul is for. 

Ron Paul want’s to end the wars, end the corporatocracy, kill off the Patriot Act, give Americans jobs, prosecute Wall Street, K Street and J Street…stop torturing the POW’s and do away with Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid…because his son is a Teabagger named Rand.

Sibel Edmonds may know something about something, but that something will never be told…as long as Ron Paul has a Teabagger son named Rand.

So if Sibel likes Ron and Ron hates war and Patriot Acts while having a son named Rand…obviously, President Obama should further militarize the CIA.

It’s what Rand would want.

No wait…I meant Kucinich.  No, no I think I meant Nader and
Jesse Ventura?

Oh fuck it.  What time is Grey’s Anatomy on?

Birfers Rejected: Torture and Profit Wars Roll On

Posted in activism, apathy, change, congress, impeachment, journalism, media, News, politics, The Homeland, torture, Washington State Blogs with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 27, 2011 by lens1

Justice has prevailed in the Homeland!  Team Obama finally released the president’s long form birth certificate… and the torture, war and Lockheed Martin supporting Democrats did celebrate!

The GOP sighed, the racists cried and 9 more Americans died at the hand of an Afghan ally…because you’ve been distracted.

We the Grifted

Since the White House has proven it does care about Homeland injuring distractions, perhaps the president will now release the tortured Manning? Put impeachment back on the table?  Maybe he could free the Guantanamo POW’s and end the profit wars on those who live near oil…and those of us who use it.

Maybe the Department of Justice will pretend to be concerned about oil price manipulation?  Because prosecuting our war criminals is in fact too distracting.

We the Patriot Acted are being grifted…and the racists aren’t going anywhere.

I’d be willing to bet your Medicare, clean air and radioactive milk, that the president could name General “war criminal” Petraeus to head the CIA, while sending Leon Panetta over to head up the profit wars for the Pentagon…and not one Democrat would park their Prius in protest.

Pavlov’s Bell is strapped to the donkey.  So please give generously.

Same Song Lacking in Digital Underground

Posted in activism, apathy, change, economy, journalism, media, music, News, peace movement, politics, The Homeland, Washington State Blogs with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 26, 2011 by lens1

Wars for profit, when led by a Republican half-wit, are bad for the economy and those who live near oil.

Wars for profit, when led by an intelligent Democrat, are still bad for the economy and for those who live near oil.

Same song, but definitely lacking in Digital Underground.

The Bush wars on Mexicans and drugs were marginally effective.  The Obama wars on Mexicans and drugs have escalated and are bound to make big profits for the private prison corporations, Boeing’s drones and Sheriff Arpaio.

Same song, but no Digital Underground to speak of.

Bush said newkular, Obama says build more.  Solar panels are not cost-effective, because we’re out of flat surfaces to put them on.  Wind power ruins your view and creates ironic ‘schadenfreudes‘ for PUD’s.

All around the world, it’s the same old song y’all…minus the Digital Underground.

Bob Dylan grew tired of the Prius driving, Obama sticker crowd…before the Prius, or the Obama sticker was even invented.  Bob called them ‘Maggies Farm’, you can call them the protest folk movement…I call them MoveOn.orgers.

When RATM covered Dylan’s Maggie, it became the same song — with a very different meaning.  You could call it a protest song against racism and the police state, I call it the couch bound activists anthem, Dylan calls it money and yes…there’s still no Digital Underground.

You can blame Bob or Rage Against the Machine for this post of no Digital Underground, but don’t blame Obama, blame Bush and go here if you really need that DU fix.

“hypothetical, political, lyrical, miracle whip
just like butter, my ryhmes are legit
Cause I’m the humpty. not humpty dumpty, but humpty hump
here a hump, there a hump, everywhere a humpty hump.”

I’ll just shut up now…

Hunting for Jesus Eggs and Change

Posted in activism, apathy, change, congress, impeachment, journalism, media, News, politics, The Homeland, torture, Washington State, Washington State Blogs with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 26, 2011 by lens1

Bush Lied, Obama Sold Many a Prius

As mentioned yesterday, I’ve just returned from the Hanford Nuclear Reservation’s ‘Secret Easter Egg Hunt for Jesus!’

It’s a time-honored and quickly deteriorating tradition of my drunken Irish familia, because there just isn’t a better way to say ‘he has risen!‘…than a drunken hunt for colorful eggs, in Washington State’s own Fukushima death zone.

Finding the goodies in the middle of the Hanford death zone really isn’t all that difficult…as the drunk egg and chocolate bunny hiders, usually drop dead about 2 feet from where they’ve hidden them.

Hence the quickly deteriorating, time-honored tradition.

As we’re running out of our least favorite uncles, aunts and cousins…this year was probably our last year of Hanford egg hunting.

Still Dying

For those of you who live anywhere outside of the Tri Cities, Hanford is located at the epicenter of one of the best death inducing places on the planet.  Although, anywhere Hillary Clinton is looking to spread some Democracy…does comes in a close second.

The spreading of Democracy usually reminds me of laws and those of us who break them.  President Obama says that Bradley Manning’s contempt for the rule of law…is almost as bad as the Presidents contempt for egg salad sandwiches, or the Africans and or any other brown-skinned humans he’s currently droning to death.

The moral of today’s post could be: never hunt Easter eggs for Jesus, while drunk and or anywhere near Hanford.  But with reality being owned by Disney and Koch Industries…I suppose the moral of today’s post would be: don’t get caught and if you do, blame a  defenseless oil and Muslim rich nation and then arrest some pot smokers.

Remember folks, if you see something…say something and then inform Robert Muller.  Do not, I repeat, DO NOT inform Homeland Security.  They’re as useless as Obama’s grasp of the words Guantanamo, Mitchell, Jessen and Yoo.

Change seems as familiar as hunting for radioactive Jesus eggs.

New News We Knew Before it Was New

Posted in activism, apathy, change, impeachment, journalism, media, News, politics, The Homeland, torture, Washington State Blogs with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 25, 2011 by lens1

I go off the grid hunting Easter eggs on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation for a few days and look what happens…someone who wasn’t Bradley Manning, has gone and reminded us that George W Bush and President Obama’s Guantanamo, is no place for a Constitution to be hanging around.

Humans with names like Bush, Rumsfeld, Yoo and Obama…have some ‘splainin’ to do and the ‘splainin’ should probably begin at the Hague and end with Lucy. 

For those of you who’ve been watching Lost and Grey’s Anatomy for the last several years…fuck off, go buy a frothy, crap flavored beverage at Starbucks and wtf are you doing here anyway?

For the rest of y’all…go read Glenn Greenwald’s article about Obama’s GITMO, then run a background check on your psychologist, because ‘it’ may be as psycho as Tom Cruise said they were.

Scientologists and the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, might just end up killing us all…but If I were a Brothers Koch…I’d bet your entire Social Security program on Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel, somehow beating Hanford and Tom Cruise to it.

News just can’t be new news if we already knew it.

I’m sleep deprived and the security at Hanford…is about as useful a Border Patrol agent, driving aimlessly through the deserted streets of Port Townsend, Washington.

Good night and be Vigilant.

Why Don’t We Drone Greenland?

Why don’t we drone Ireland, England or Sweden?  Perhaps Denmark or Maine?

We will when the water wars start, but for now, the drone wars are reserved for the dark-skinned humans who live nearby oil, China and or hate us for our Old Navy stores.

If you speak Spanish and live near our Homeland-wide Constitution Free Zone, you’ll be droned as well.

If you’re a gay marriage activist or an anti-war/anti-two party patriot…you’re probably being droned too.

Let’s say you think Islam is scary and burning the Koran in Michigan, is just another way for you to embarrass Florida.  Then you’re the idiot pastor Terry Jones…who is not being droned, but did almost shoot himself in the foot.  Literally.

Maybe you’re Bradley Manning.  You’ve told the world about your Homeland’s illegal and immoral crimes against the humans who dwell near oil and or China…you’re not being droned, but you are being Obama’d.

You’re Eric Holder.  The AG of the glorious Department of Justice, for the equally glorious Homeland.  You enforce our laws as you see fit, because marijuana is a terrorist weed, which is somehow worse for us than BP’s dead Gulf of Mexico…Wall Street, K Street or Obama’s never-ending wars on the dark-skinned humans for Boeing.  Because Boeing needs tax breaks and you’re SOL.

Twitter tells me that the DOJ has yet to be droned.   Perhaps this is why they prosecute us and not Rumsfeld?

Lets say you’re the President.  You’ve told so many half-truths, lies and covered up for Bush, Wall Street, K Street and BP…that when you told us you’re going to have Eric Holder investigate price gouging at the gas pump…you were able to do so without stuttering.

You sir, are indeed the better Bush!

President Obama hasn’t been droned, but he did get heckled just before sending the drones to Libya.  Because…they’re dark-skinned humans who could befriend China and probably live near oil…all the while hating us for the cheap shorts available at Old Navy.

Sure it’s confusing.  But at least you now know why we aren’t
droning Greenland.

It’s Friday.  Enjoy your cheap shorts and don’t look up.
