Delusions

Some people suffer badly from magical thinking. Each morning, when they go to work they transform magically in a super being, above all law and totally willing to lay their authority in the path of your freedom.  Without cultural programming, the idea that a 'police uniform' gives you special powers is just laughable. Backing up this claim with a laminated piece of paper makes it even more absurd. 

All the items usually displayed to claim authority can not be traced back to any contract you signed. It doesn't make any sense if someone claim to have authority over you, to have a licence to bully you.

Aliens?

There are so many solutions to the everyday problems we face as individuals and as community. Still, our public servants only talk about problems they created themselves, and ruin our commons in the process. Not too mention that the real problems, war, poverty, homelessness, violence, sustainable energy and food production as largely ignored. Instead of choosing the smartest solution for a given set of circumstances, we subscribe mostly to the 'one size fits all' solution provided by 'leaders'. Are we really the species on this planet that excels in problem solving, or just a horde of douche bags starring in an alien reality TV show?

Serves me right

After years of absenting from christmas presents, the first heart-felt present I made caused just pain. Happy solstice.

Emotional rescue

This tumblr thing seem to allow some sort of blogging as well, so excuse me for getting a bit personal. I had a strange encounter today that needs some debriefing, and so far I missed the opportunity. 

So there's this guy that really has a problem with me, because I associate with the wrong people. People that support really sinister things, and just hanging out with them automagically makes you one them. Whether you know it or not. Whether you believe it, once this guy tells you, without any evidence but his good character, or not. 

There's no need to name this person, as he acts as Agent Smith. Most of us are easily capable to 'step aside' and let a role our culture appreciates take over. Sorry, I wasn't really myself when I did this. 

So Agent Smith hangs around and sometimes tries to get close to the conversation I engage in. As I notice this, I take more breaks and try to ignore him, carefully aware of the surveillance mode AS enters.

He films my interaction with police, and later pokes a mobile phone camera towards my face while 'interviewing' me as well. Any bit of my lengthy conversation can be now taken out of context, and used as evidence for my malicious intents.

Later, while it becomes apparent that I'm with my girl friend (or collaborator in love), AS starts a rant about his character assessment of mine, pretty similar what I read on fb already. Yes, it's totally real life troll baiting, combined with a ton of anger. In front of someone he meets for the first time. 

So he illustrates with many words and lots of anger his dislike for me as a person. And asks me questions, prompting some reaction. Not that any answer could stop his flow of accusations. 

So I gave some answers, and noticed how angry I got for not being heard, interrupted the moment I started speaking. For a while, I raised my voice, but then decided just to walk away.

I watched Agent Smith talking to my beloved, wondering what he might spin up. I went out of audible range, though, so I just watched her curling into a ball while he still emanated lots of anger. 

At some point, I returned, just to have more anger unleashed unto me. How to react to someone who 'wants to see my head getting bashed'? What do you with a bully in public, without resorting to physical violence?

As I managed to neither get angry, nor afraid about all the threatening behaviour, my smile was called 'sociopathic'. While I sailed through the conversation with police quite smoothly, the next interaction with Agent Smith left more traces. 

What I need is an extra dose of whatever. Attention spend on someone who thrives on adversity just doesn't pay off. Just another kid pissing in the pool.

According to Campbell 'Adolf' Newman, commenting on the draconian police state laws is a 'threat'.

October 23, 1915: Women March in New York for Suffrage Parade

On this day in 1915, 25,000 women marched up Fifth Avenue in New York City advocating for women’s voting rights. Five years later, the 19th amendment was passed in 1920 and granted 26 million women (half of the population at the time) the right to vote.

Dive deep into the Suffrage Movement with American Experience’s “Battle for Suffrage” article, which details key figures, events, and victories throughout the Suffrage movement.

Bringing a child into the world makes sense only if this child is wanted consciously and freely by its two parents. If it is not, then it is simply animal and criminal behavior. A human being becomes human not through the casual convergence of certain biological conditions, but through an act of will and love on the part of other people. If this is not the case, then humanity becomes — as it is already to a large extent — no more than a rabbit-warren. But this is no longer a “free-range” warren but a “battery” one, in the conditions of artificiality in which it lives, with artificial light and chemical feed. Only those people … who are a hundred percent convinced that they possess the moral and physical possibility not only of rearing a child but of welcoming it as a welcome and beloved presence, have the right to procreate. If this is not the case, they must first of all do everything not to conceive, and if they do conceive (given that the margin for unpredictability continues to be high) abortion is not only a sad necessity, but a highly moral decision to be taken with full freedom of conscience. I do not understand how you can associate abortion with an idea of hedonism or the good life. Abortion is a terrifying thing… In abortion the person who is massacred, physically and morally, is the woman. Also for any man with a conscience every abortion is a moral ordeal that leaves a mark, but certainly here the fate of the woman is in such a disproportionate condition of unfairness compared with the man’s, that every male should bite his tongue three times before speaking about such things. Just at the moment when we are trying to make less barbarous a situation which for the woman is truly terrifying, an intellectual uses his authority so that women have to stay in this hell. Let me tell you, you are really irresponsible, to say the least. I would not mock the “hygienic-prophylactic measures” so much; certainly you will never have to undergo a scraping of your womb. But I’d like to see your face if they forced you to have an operation in the filth and without any recourse to hospitals under pain of imprisonment.

East West Tunnel Picket

Lots of my posts where pointing to the videos shot by Sean Bedlam for the East West Tunnel picket, to create to spot where you can get the entire story in its development. This makes it easier to discover the bs and blatant lies that might pop in the mainstream media, like denouncing a specific participant as 'Serial pest'.  A simple tunnelpicket playlist on youtube might have done the same job, but then, these are confusing times so spreading around cyberspace might be a good idea as well. Anyway, as Sean has its own tumblr for this (http://tunnelpicketvideos.tumblr.com/?og=1), I'd happily share the most uncluttered collection of evidence that we live in a corporatist system, protecting business interest violently against community, reason and human decency.
