Are we going to change the world yet, or what?

What we are trying to do is to change the world.  We would like people to see it for what it really is, all because of human beings.  In order to change these things, we need to make our voices heard.  We need to change human beings.  Unfortunately, there are still too many drones listening to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, and fox news, and praising his word as canon.

I know, I know, I probably shouldn't call them drones.  But what else can I say of these people who just mindlessly listen, and not bother to check the facts for themselves?  It's difficult for me to look at them like my equal, as they generally seem to openly embrace, racism, sexism, homophobia, and oppression.  Among other things.

So, how does one deal with this dogma?  This hyperbole?  How does one actually solve these problems, as it does appear that this bias is the real problem?

The truth is, that the people need to be shown the path.  I don't know exactly how that will work, but I do know, that people need to be shown the way.   Unfortunately, many people don't want to be shown the way.  They refuse to even accept that there is anything wrong, or if they do, they refuse to do anything about it.  Too many are stuck in their jobs, needing to work to eat and live, and by the time they get home, they are just too tired to do anything but turn on the television, which has a tendency to fry people's critical thinking and logical reasoning skills even further.  Instead of looking into the facts, and doing a little research on the issue, they'll repeat someone else's hyperbole as truth, overlooking logical fallacies completely, or trying to justify them in some way or another.

We have a pretty open society when it comes to minorities.  However, ©Harper's Gov't is quickly eroding all of that.  The new immigration laws this JACKASS, and his LACKEY'S, are bringing in, remind me more of what we saw after WWII.  No one wanted to let the Jewish people in.  Even here in Canada, our bigoted leaders, and the masses that did nothing, and stood by, while horror stories slowly filtered in, and ignored by the mainstream media at the time.  And now, we are going to be doing the same, only worse.  Some will be denied basic human rights like health care.  That's right, come to canada as a refugee, and you have a heart attack, too bad sucka, you're dead.  You'll get no treatment from us canucknuckleheads.  Our doctors will just stand by and watch.

I'M NOT JOKING! AND THIS FUCKING DISGUSTS ME!

War is good for the economy though, right?  So, lets go fight a war, bankrupt the gov't and the banks, force our gov'ts to take on even more debt, at the expense of innocent's who have bombs dropped on the them daily, so that they try to escape to live elsewhere, force our own citizens to pay for it, and send our children off to die.  Tell me something, when was the last time you heard about a senators son, or an m.p.'s daughter getting killed by an I.E.D.

We don't hear about those types of things, because they don't happen, because if they did, then the war would be over.  That senator or mp, would now be biased, and is now going to fight to end it, because it's not a game to them anymore.  Like it is now.  No military commander wants to have that hanging over their head either, so when the sons and daughters of officials in gov't do enlist, they are flagged, and not usually given dangerous duties, or put in harms way.

Not like the cannon fodder that is supplied by the people.  Those who are ignorant of the real reasons for the problems, like capitalism, patriarchy, colonialism, sexism, racism, and oppressive attitudes of those holding office, are doomed to let them repeat it.  It is up to us to educate and inform people.  But this can be impossible sometimes.  When the mainstream media does not want to present a coherent, reality based image of reality, and tends to scew and distort things, it kinda makes one wonder.  We have to turn more people onto alternative press, and we need to have way more informed people in the world.  The other problem is the lack of decent education on some of these subjects in schools.

Feel free to comment.   Hopefully someone has some more pieces to add to the solutions. Right now, I'm just focusing on the problems.  I need more focus on solutions.  Help if you can.  Peace.

In Solidarity

Alex Hundert is now in the incarceration period.  He will be held for 8 and a 1/2 months, having already served approx 4 months of his sentence in pretrial.  He is the last person to be sentenced and incarcerated for his role in the G20 Summit in Toronto in 2010.  Anthony Verberckmoes, will enter the courtroom on this morning, where an uncertain fate awaits him.  The police have given him a bogus charge of obstruction of justice, for his role during the nazi counter protest.  And Bailey Dawn, doesn't even know if she will be charged with a crime, as after she was assaulted by pro-lifers, the cops seemed to show more than a little bias towards her.

All 3 of these people have stood up for what is right and just in this world, only to have the "just us" system come crashing down upon them.  The day will not come soon enough, where it will be said that no protest's are needed, where no apartheid exists, where no racism exists, where no sexism and misogyny exist, where one may walk around knowing that your government is not fighting a war for oil and power.

Alex Hundert is a strong support of First Nations, and an amazing activist.  If you don't know who he is, I suggest you check out Dan Dicks documentarys, United We Fall, The Nations Deathbed, and Into the Fire. As well, his blog can be found here.  Don't forget to support Alex while he's in jail.  His detainment allowed most of the other "co-conspirators" to go free.  His sacrifice will not be forgotten, and we all know that he will never be broken by the system that persecutes him.

Anthony Verberckmoes, a local London activist and anarchist, has been active in the community for many years.  His wisdom, knowledge, and a amazing speaking ability, has earned him much respect from his peers and comrades.  The bogus charges stems from an incident that occurred when Blood and Honour, decided to try and organize.  Anti-fa smashed a window on one of their vehicles that day.  He will be in court at 9:30 this morning.  An event has been called here.  Show up if you can!!

Bailey Dawn, another local London activist and anarchist, has also been active in the community, volunteering her time for local organizations.  A strong women and feminist, she felt it was her duty to be a part of the action organized by the CAW, in response to the "Center for Bio-Ethical Reform"(whatever that's supposed to mean) anti-abortion caravan campaign, making its way across the country.  She was violently assaulted, and the bruises can been seen in this video.(look in the description, and link this "WHATS GOING ON HERE? 39:00")  Unfortunately, I was too far away to get any video at the time.  The anti abortionist's, have uploaded an edited version of the events here, which fails to show the assault on her before this video begins.

All 3 of these people deserve and require your support.  Alex has a support page setup here.  Anthony asks that you show up in court tomorrow if you are able to.  And for now, Bailey has yet to be charged with anything, but if she is issued a summons, then I would hope that we could support her in court as well.  Solidarity to all.  United, we can never be defeated.

(edit)  This morning, Bailey Dawn was arrested and charged with mischief.  She is being held in custody at the moment, and I expect that she will be released sometime this afternoon.
(edit)Bailey has been released.

Bigoted twits: 0 Londons Common Front: 1

50 minutes.  Well worth it! :D

Ahh, how I love the smell of oppression in the morning.  And early afternoon, and on till the evening.  On June 25th, a group known as the "Centre for Bio-ethical Reform" came to London, Ontario, with their message of misogyny and oppression.  A common front of groups, from the CAW, to Occupy London Ontario, to the London Abused Women's Centre, took to the streets to counter protest these disgusting bigots.  If you don't know what they're about, here is a picture or 2...

 Disgusting eh?

Why yes, that is a coat hanger in my hand...

These disgusting bigots have been travelling across country, attempting to desecrate the rights that women have had for 40+ years.  They are well funded(obviously) by an AMERICAN church.  Yes, thats right, even pro-life outsources their actions now.  

What I find absolutely hilarious, is that these morons are attempting to do the same thing pro choice activists did 40 years ago, thinking that they are "taking back" the tactic that helped women win their freedom.  When in reality, all they are doing is exposing themselves as sexists and misogynistic parasites on the human race.

Their use of graphic and obscene material to "attract" people to their cause, is backfiring.  More and more, people are showing up to their events to counter protest, because more and more people are realizing, thanks in part to these pictures,  that these people are ignorant and disgusting asshats.  They are doing a better job of dissuading people from their cause than we ever could. :D

I seriously can't wait till my first death threat from these idiots.  I'll be posting the video in as many pro life pages as I can, so that I too, may receive threats of violence from "christians."

The Real World

This is my commentary on all the things wrong with the world.  In order to fix these things, either 2 things need to happen, only one of which will if history is any judge.  Either the governments fix the problems, by working together to discuss real solutions, or the people rise up, to discuss those things.  Capitalism does not work.  It does not take into account those born in worlds with little privilege.  And it does not take into account those who are not as aggressive or opportunistic as others, or those who simply want to live a life without having to hear about war and violence in the news, EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY!

I don't want to live in a world with apartheid and war.  I don't want to live in a world with state sanctioned murder.  I don't want to live in a world were people have to go to jail for growing a plant, that has existed in this world for thousands of years.  I don't want to live in world where homeless, people identifying as LBGT, indigenous, and other minorities are marginalized, demeaned, and kicked down, forcing them to engage in behaviours most would rather not think about.

Living on the street, or quite near to it, presents some difficult problems for most people.  If you've never had to do it, then you've never had a life where you've had to live hand to mouth, because it can be so difficult to get oneself out of the rut.  Our society presents, sometimes unreasonable and irrational mountains of bureaucracy and paperwork.  All so that they can track you, figure out your habits, and "fix" you.  Assuming the problem is really yours to begin with.  I have a theory, and that is, that world we live in, produces people with mental illness, and the more our society gets sick, the more mentally ill it will produce.

We want happy mindless drones, who are ecstatic to go to work everyday, 40-50 hours a week or more, so  that we can have the "good" things.  But some choose to live a different life.  Some don't have a choice.  They never had any privilege to utilize, so their work was always lesser.  Never able to get a job that had any real chance of advancement, never had enough money to go to school, and because of some idiotic assinine reason, they can't get a student loan, or their parents kicked them out because they were LBGT.  So, eventually, they find their way to the street.  Because they never stood a chance in the cutthroat world of ignorance and apathy we live in.  Maybe they'll get lucky, and find some way out, without having to spend a lot of time in the shelters, or on a grate.  Maybe they won't, and find themselves in a seemingly never ending cycle of depression and sadness.  The cycle can be broken, but sometimes it becomes too much for people, and they find their way into drugs and/or alcohol.  And then the real suffering happens.  T

I just read an article, in which it was stated that public services were being used by homeless people.  Oh no, they want water?  Or electricity to charge their phones?  What the flying fuck?  Why does this city show such a complete lack of compassion for those who have found themselves in a bad situation?  So they used a hose... Instead of forcing them out, let them use it.  Just because you don't want to see them, doesn't mean they don't exist, and it doesn't mean you have to exercise you privilege of actually owning a house, by denying them the use of a water spout.  Your water and electricity too good for the homeless?  You're going to begrudge them a few amps of electricity?  Oh no, 1000$ of the cities budget goes to keeping the homeless people connected to the outside world.  OH NO!!  A drop in the bucket of what the city spends in electric bills each month.

To those of you who would call this stealing, I urge you to think about where you're getting that oil.  And how many people have died, and are still dying, so that your selfish ass can drive around all day, use a computer, have nice electronic toys.  Ya, guess what?  I got them too.  But at least I am fully willing to acknowledge the fact that people died so that the governments who have more money, can have these things, and I work actively against those using violence as a means to aquire oil and land and "prestige."  Remember Obama won the fucking peace prize, which imo opinion, forever tarnishs it(not that Nobel's discovery's were all that peaceful, I wonder sometimes how he lived with himself)btw, Bradley Manning has done more to deserve the peace prize, than the warmongers in the whitehouse ever did.

But no, our gov'ts have to KILL FOR DEMOCKERY!  Lets go into countries halfway across the world, that have no real logistical way of attacking us, and bomb the civilian population until the leaders are either dead or surrender and agree to give us their oil and resources.  Instead of giving them fair trade, send in multi national contractors, to exploit the earth, take the blood soaked prizes, for their own monetary benefit, and arguably our own, the sycophantic peasants in this equation.

Yes, that is your status.  We are ruled in a constitutional monarchy, where ultimately, every single piece of our legislation is signed by the"queens" representative.  Why do we have to ask some shithead figurehead giving her royal assent for everything that gets passed?  oh, right, so some dumbass has a job, and the queen gets to claim the land as her own, when, once you take away the money, all your left with is some hag, and no real power, exercising her royal privilege to make sure her, her cronies, and her blue blooded warmongering shite families, get a free ride on the backs of the people working their asses for less and less and less.

Anyway, the real point of all this, is to point out the single largest, most glaring flaw there exists in society.  That is, the gross and unconscionable apathy, and complete derision of anything that might upset the oh so precious status quo.  And I'm sick and tired of the masses who continue to display such a callous, privileged, and sociopathic point of view, or at the very least, do nothing to stop shitfaces in power who allow such things to occur, and directly influence and action policies, which do nothing for the people they are supposed to represent, but in fact, represent those who have paid the most money.  It is time for this to stop.  It is time for the people to stand against those who would oppress them, before it's too late.

Pigs, Bacon, Ham, and Pork. Or how to be a thug.

Recently, the London Police, have been quite aggressive towards peaceful marchers.  Going up to them, and calling them out by name, and singling out a few of the hundred or so people that were marching on the street, and yelling for them to get off the street.

Now, the big problem I have with this, is not that they were telling certain people, and threatening only those people with fines, but that they think that any one of us, would actually listen to these windbag pigs, who in reality, tended to sound like broken records, mindlessly repeating catch phrases, in a slightly dubstepesque manner.*note to self...remix videos into dubstep...

When it comes right down it, the real problem lies with the systemic indoctrination that the baconators are forced to go through.  It forces them to dehumanize others, and instead of talking to people, they talk down to people, and try to force their authoritarian bullshit down the throats of the people.  And if you don't listen to their unlawful orders, be wary, as they might start hitting you with clubs, or pepper spraying you and your friends.  Even though you friends may not have even done anything, nor acted in a threatening manner.  Pigs should have thicker skin than they do.  Multiple times, I've seen overzealous hamslices use excessive force, and violence on people that were never violent towards them.

It seems to be a requirement now, that the baconslabs have no remorse, no brains, and no willpower of their own, to use the discretion given to them by law.  Instead, they resort to last resort tactics first, and assuming you survive, then they'll talk to you.  And if you are participating in a protest, well, you should've stayed home now, shouldn't you...

The other really really big problem I have, is that the pigsters totally and completely ignored the SlutWalk.  It marched on the street as well, and not a porkrind in sight.  Why is that?  Why do the piglets "escort" some street marches and not others?  And seriously, what's with the shite intimidation tactics at those marches they do "escort"?  And the violence perpetuated on people by the hambones on the people leaves a bitter taste in most peoples mouths.  Considering that this country wouldn't be what it is today, if it wasn't for people assembling together, and engaging in civil disobedience.  The only thing that the pigs are doing, is reinforcing the belief that they are not acting in the interests of the people, but in the interests of their political masters, who only wish to suppress dissent.
Never forget, ACAB.

Thomas Mulcair. Supporter of Apartheid

“I am an ardent supporter of Israel in all situations and in all circumstances.” 

~Thomas Mulcair

I am a little more than troubled, that the ndp would elect thomas mulcair, as the head of the party(though not surprised).  He actively supports apartheid, and as such, shows a lack of consideration for the people who are being violently oppressed under the israel regime.  And to use doctrinal language, shows there is no room for comprise on this man's opinions.  He will always support israel, even when they commit apartheid on a daily basis, even when they drop phosphorus weapons on schools and hospitals.  This disgusts me.  It disgusts many of you.

“My in-laws are Holocaust survivors. Their history is part of my daily life. That’s why I am an ardent supporter of Israel in all instances [French for the different institutions that make up a country] and circumstances.”

Oh, so just because you had relatives who died in the Holocaust, means you get to use it to justify the same type of violence committed against the Palestinians?  Ya, ok, that TOTALLY makes sense..  In dream land.  I used to support the ndp, back when I thought there was still a chance the system might actually work.  I've known for awhile now though, that it doesn't matter which dip you elect, you'll always end up with someone who isn't really working in the interest's of the people.

The People Vs. Jason Kenney

On Saturday June 9th, 2012, No One Is Illegal staged the mock trial jason kenney, the Calgary Southeast MP, and current Minister of Citizen, Immigration, and Multiculturalism, in stephen harpers neo-fascist conservative government.  jason, who was not available to attend his trial, was instead represented by a lifesized puppet.  Which ironically mirrors real life, in that jason is only a puppet of stephen.  Both of them should be put back into the box whence they came, and shoved in a storage locker for many years, before being allowed to see the light of day.

Grab some popcorn, this one's about an hour long. :D

                                      

So, a little history on this kenney character.   And we'll see just how much of a dim fuckwit this asshole is.  First, we start with George Galloway, MP in great britannia.  George, is a stand up guy.  He donated ambulances, medicine and toys, to the people of Gaza, to ease their suffering at the hands of the israeli Occupation.  But because Gaza has democractically elected Hamas as their leader, jason the authoritarian shit for brains asshole, that he is, and George is pretty vocal in his support of democracy, jason said, "No George, you can't come in.  You're a terrorist."  I paraphrase, but you get the meaning.

jason doesn't seem to want to take responsibility for his ministries actions either.  Like say, removing all references to same sex marriages in policy manuals.  Against the recommondations of the deputy minister.  And when it all came to light, he said, and I quote, "I did no such thing."

Amendments in the immigration act allow for children to be born without a state.   Unless one of your parents is a naturalized, or born in canada, the baby will be stateless.  He would deny people medical care.  If a refugee is having a heart attack, the doctors will do nothing.  Or so the state says in the new rules.

Oh, and one more thing.  Don't forget that he is also responsible for deporting war resisters, people who found out the hard way that they were fighting in an illegal, unlawful, and unjust war, for blood and oil.  People of moral conscience, people who found out later, that they could not justify the actions of the regime they were working for.  But jason kenney, in his infinite wisdom, decided that canada was not to be a place for those of high moral character.  Jason kenny couldn't stand the thought, that there were people in this world, that lived up to a higher moral standard than himself.  And for that, I say we strip his citizenship, as he does not represent the people he was elected to serve.  

The point of all this, is get people to understand that the politicians who have been elected to represent the masses, are not representing the masses.  They are representing their own selfish interests.   Our gov't should be smashed, and a revolution is nessary to remove self serving bastards like jason kenney, and stephen harper from power.  It is not just the conservative party.   The liberals and ndp are complicit in some of these matters.

At any rate, I'm not going to go too in depth right now.   I suggest you take an hour or so, study up on jason kenney.  The wiki's a good place to start.   Check out mainstream and alternative press.  Do your own research make up your own mind.  It's not difficult to see that this man is working against the wishes of The People.  And it's kind of disgusting too.  Fuck jason kenny.

Disgusting....

See, this is my fucking problem.  We, as a society, spend all this money on fighting wars, and fighting eachother, so that we don't have enough money to take care of one another.  FUCKING DISGUSTING!!@#$~~!@#$@#$%!@#$%#$!^

Why we march...on the streets

Recently we have heard from a few people about how marching down the street, and not obeying so called "lawful" orders, is antagonizing to the police.  I do not begrudge anyone of their tactics.  Many will be necessary in order to get the point across.  Violating local traffic bylaws, in order to make a civil point, is hardly a new thing.

We do this because it raises awareness in our community, that there are problems in this world, that are not being given the attention they require.  Sometimes it is greed, sometimes it is aparthied, sometimes unjust laws.  But we do this, because the majority of the people haven't seemed to realize that these problems can be solved.  We march, not because we are going to change anything in the upper echelons, but because we need to know that we have solidarity in our community, and we need to be able to express that.  And have it expressed in return.

Many people honked their horns, raised their fist's, and shouted their support, as we marched.  Because they too understand that you must create a scene in order to get heard.  You must express your indignation, by whatever means are afforded to you.  This does not mean sitting in some office.  To us, it means going out into the community and raising our voices.  Send an email to your MP.  Now tell me, how did that actually change anything?  Your MP gets hundreds, if not thousands of emails a day.  Do you really believe that they have the time to read them all?  And if writing a letter, or meeting with your MP, doesn't change his or her mind, or make a compromise(assuming they even have the power to do so), then basically, you've wasted your time.

So you decide to get involved with one of the constituent groups, or one of the parties.  But once you've spent some time working with some of these people you begin to realize that they are only holding on to their own personal power.  And you see they want more.  So they will work for whoever gives them more power.  Usually, the corporations.  Notice, in a few cases anyway, that MP's of poorer regions, have the most to say on social justice issues.  There's a reason for that....

I want communities to have power.  I want to see the people that want to stand up and fight.  Who are willing and able(or not so able) to say "I stood up for what was right when the time came to do so."  The states law's, and it's actions are wrong, and the people are finally finding their voice.  Don't paint negatively, those who are willing to make a scene.  Those who are willing to go the extra mile, to make sure the point gets heard.

The marches are getting larger and larger.  The established order is getting a little jumpy.  The people who are marching are giving the rope to those who would oppress us.  Those who would violently take away our rights and our humanity.
