Apples Grow on Trees

Posted in apathy, change, media, News, Northwest Politics, politics, The Homeland, torture, Washington State with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 31, 2011 by lens1

Morals, laws and the paper the constitution is ignored upon…don’t grow on trees.  Apples, lazy Homelandians and Border Patrol agents… do.

Throwing money at a problem only works if you’re the problem.  See the Department of Homeland Security for more.

Invading, occupying and murdering inhabitants of far off lands for their own good, only worked in South Dakota and Iraq.

Occupying and occasionally sending other than white-skinned humans to private for-profit prisons, works well for the Border Patrol, the GEO Group, Rep. Norm Dicks and the Corrections Corporation of the Homeland America.

Obviously, the polarity in our moral compasses ‘have not been‘ reversed.  The arrow that once pointed in the pretend direction of our pretend morals, is now pointing in exactly the same direction it always has.   In other words, none of this is new.

The Border Patrol is now reminding us that the ghost sperm of Saddam, or bin Laden – might just attack and impregnate us with their inferior genes, if we were to say…stop allowing Border Patrol agents to break the pretend laws of our homeland.

The constitution breakers will remind us – of all of their successful captures of would-be terroristy evil doers, and in that same breath, not remind us of 9/11 or the Army Anthrax Attacks.

You do the math.

What we need are solutions.  Solutions and apple pickers.

Like the WMD’s in Libya, our apples won’t pick themselves and Border Patrol agents can’t speak Pashto.

None of this shit is new.
This same old shit
is not new.

Apples grow on trees.

You do the math.

Color Me Unprivileged – Color Me Patriot Acted

Posted in apathy, change, economy, journalism, media, News, Northwest Politics, photojournalism, The Homeland, Washington State Blogs with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 30, 2011 by lens1

If tomorrow, we were to dress up President Obama and Karl Rove as drummers at most any Occupy location within the glorious Homeland…both would find themselves equally despised by the movement, as well as by the corporate overlord protectors.

Take the disguised Rove and Obama to most any bank in the Homeland, hand them a cell phone, or a wallet, and then just wait.

An oversimplification upon the state of the Homeland state?  Perhaps, but relevant just the same.

Sure overlap occurs.  Ask Otto Zehm in Spokane about candy bars and 2 liter bottles of soda.  He’d have quite a tale to tell…had his socioeconomically challenged executioner not murdered him.

Privilege usually has its privileges, but when interacting with the state of the Homeland State, it’s best to appear privileged, lest you be deemed – unprivileged.

If you find yourself being unprivileged while not white, with a name that most FBI agents consider being just this side of GITMOable, you might be Associate Professor Hasan M. Elahi. You could also be Bradley Manning…but of course, he’s not NOT white, he’s just unprivileged and GITMOable.  None of which makes any sense.  Which is why we’re not at “war” with Saudi Arabia.

The game is no longer about who you know, or who you blow, but how long you can get away with it.

The CIA has been getting away with it, for about as long as we’ve been waging the class wars against the unprivileged.

The Homeland’s unprivileged – are our vast caste system, of minimum wage and insurance free workers.  We are not only considered untouchables, but we also make great pets.

Which is exactly why…occupy drummers Obama and Rove – would be beat down by Oakland’s finest – but the banking while holding a wallet Rove…might actually survive.

Color me unprivileged – Color me Patriot Acted
Saudi Arabia – has not yet been repatriated.

How Do You Afford Your BushBama Lifestyle?

Posted in apathy, change, economy, journalism, media, News, Northwest Politics, politics, The Homeland, Washington State Blogs with tags , , , , , , , , , , on October 28, 2011 by lens1

Depending on which sector of the Homeland you live in – you’re either broke and against us, or you’re an employee of Apple and or
Lockheed Martin.

I come from a long line of broke, Reagan era government cheese eaters…while many of my contemporaries are either dead, or, not working for Lockheed Martin and or Apple.

The untimely deaths of many of my contemporary compatriots, can be traced to either legal alcohol or illegal drugs.  Sometimes it was all three.  Adding more than two things together was never my strong suit – but I do know that the tainted Reagan era government cheese…was a gateway dairy product.

It murdered their spirit.

But yeah sure, I’m certainly against us.  Especially those of us in the dairy industry.

I afford my BushBama lifestyle by taking out high interest loans on milk, butter and cheese.  The irony sucks, but I’ll never pay back those high interest government dairy loans…and neither will the too big to fails, who in fact, never intended to pay it all back.

In this sector of the Homeland – formerly known as Washington State, we are as broke as if Dino Rossi had actually won.  Governor Gregoire has chosen 2 billion dollars worth of cuts, that could have been wasted on education, healthcare and or feeding hungry kids.

Why?  Because the global wars on stuff, can’t be paid for by just printing up money and giving it to our pretend enemies.

Yes, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Apple are all doing great.  Drone Capitalism works like Criss Angel’s mentalist powers – it’s magic!

Apple has over 80 billion dollars in cash – just lying around the office.  Lockheed Martin and Boeing have billions in profits, along with about 1.5 million lost souls in shoe boxes, that were captured during the spread-age of democracy.

You know, I was able to scrounge together some old hair, two mint condition Soundgarden t-shirts and a scratched Judas Priest cd, in about 17 minutes!

I’m no magician, and I’m certainly not a mathematician, but I do know this much…Reagan’s cheese is people.

The Silence of the Ovis aries

Posted in activism, apathy, journalism, media, News, politics, Spokane, The Homeland, Washington State Blogs with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 27, 2011 by lens1

Scott Olsen.  Remember his name.

Otto Zehm.  Remember his name too.

Don’t forget John T. Williams or Alex Arredondo either.

Remember the Army Anthrax Attacks?
Obama wants to immunize your kids
should the Army attack us again.

Patriot Acts become National Security
and Federal Lands Protection Acts.

Fort Detrick is to Bruce Ivins as Saddam was to Gaddafi.
Bin Laden is to Fort Detrick as Dick Cheney was to Gerald Ford.
You can spell it Gaddafi, Kadafi or Qaddafi.
It doesn’t matter…Colin Powell knew.

Throw a case of plasticine down
Baby I can immolate

The Ovis aries sure are quiet.

To Serve and Protect It

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

Wholesome Sheriff Andy Taylor and his deputy Barney Fife were figments of the early Teabagger’s imagination.

Today, Sheriff Andy Taylor is portrayed by Sheriff Arpaio, who in reality, makes Deputy Barney Fife seem like a Democrat.

Oakland, California – Tacoma and Olympia Washington – Longview, Washington and the Longshormen – 9/11 Patriot Acts

Iraq – AfPakistan – Yemen – Libya – Mexico – Africa – Arkansas
The Army Anthrax Attacks

Boeing – Lockheed Martin – BofA – BushBama
School Districts – Repossession
Foreclosed

Who is serving whom?
Who is protecting what?

A Homeland cannot exist…if the populace resists.

Occupy.

Freedom’s Dildo is Vibrating

Posted in apathy, change, congress, elections, journalism, media, News, The Homeland, Washington State Blogs with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 25, 2011 by lens1

Trillions of dollars for criminal bankers here -
trillions of dollars for the super-secret/criminal defenders of J. Edgar Hoover’s Santorum there, and while we’re at it, why not trillions of dollars more for fighting Obama’s forever Bush wars. Forever.

We the Patriot Acted are not fazed!  No one can faze us, nor will we admit to being fazed until we’re damn good and ready to be fazed.  In fact – no fazing of us shall occur!  Ever!

Meanwhile, back in Janet Napolitano’s empty drawers of wishful thinking…the TSA has decided to look for brown-skinned evildoers who drive trucks in Tennessee – while under the influence of Islam.

They call it…VIPR.

I’m not even partially fazed by this.

While the TSA is busy deciding which Homeland highway to hunt for Islam on next…their pals back at the airport have got our backs and private parts covered.

Why?

Because Islam’s evildoers will show us no mercy when it comes to masturbation.  That’s why.

I say: ‘why the TSA, when that’s what Catholic priests are for?’

The TSA will say: ‘Great point. But this is what your tax dollars are for.’

Well, that, AND they like your hot, sexy vibrators.

In my mind – all of this naturally leads to Samuel Wurzelbacher.  ‘Joe the Palin’s Plummermight just run for Congress…  Of course he’d win, and probably do no worse to us than those who are fucking us now.  We can only hope that at some point, Joe and his voters discover the letter “b” and one less “m” when spelling out his moniker.

Freedom’s Dildo is vibrating!
Unfazed we do remain.

Jesuit Drones Can’t Jump

Team Jesuit are not known for their jumping abilities.
Hence forgiveness and democracy, always appears in the form of a Northrop Grumman layup.

As many of us who’ve played the game know…layups are for John Stockton – and death to those who stand in the way of empire.

Jesuit Drones can’t jump.

Divided We Stay

Posted in apathy, change, congress, economy, journalism, media, News, photojournalism, seattle, The Homeland, torture, Washington State Blogs with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on October 23, 2011 by lens1

When former CIA operatives resign from the agency because of torture, renditions and crimes so disgusting – that they’re legal…one would think said former CIA operatives would move on to become bus drivers, or maybe even attendants at Goodwill donation sites.

Glenn Carle is one of “hundreds” of former CIA operatives who’ve hinted at CIA evildoing – resigned – lived to tell about it – then went on to work for Blackwater.

From TruthOut we find that:  “Carle, who retired from the CIA in 2007, refuses to endorse an investigation and/or prosecution of key Bush administration and CIA officials who he said they were responsible for violating numerous laws in the name of national security, claiming it would “divide” the country.

You know, it’s probably just me, but when truth-telling former CIA operatives who went on to work for Blackwater, find a conscience, a book deal and believe that prosecuting the torturing CIA evildoers and their political allies – might somehow divide us?  I’m left thinking that the Homeland needs a million more Bradley Manning’s – and several hundred fewer Glenn Carle’s.

Yeah, it’s probably just me.

Back in 1991 or so, Seattle and Olympia were occupied with a bunch of younger versions of yours truly.

The Storm in Iraq had just wrapped up.
Life was good and Kuwaiti incubator baby free.

Searching for answers with our good eye closed
seemed like fun in that moment.

Perhaps we should have opened that good eye.
Occupy.

Occupy Photo Powers Activate!

Posted in activism, artist, change, media, Northwest Politics, photojournalism, politics, The Homeland, Washington State with tags , , , , , , , , , on October 22, 2011 by lens1

Music, photography and horrible grammerin “is are is” what I enjoy.

I blame my 2nd through 5th grade teachers in Indiana for their
inability to reach me.

They blamed my long hair and my inability to conform.
You could blame the Bush for the Obama, or the Obama for the Bush.
Maybe it was just the tequila?
No – it was those fields of corn.
And the snails.

More photos of Occupy Seattle will happen here soon.
Enjoy the music.
Fear the snails.
