Incredible 420 gathering in Colorado

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

At the University of Colorado, Boulder– its becoming a tradition of sorts, to have a 420 Blaze on the campus of the college. Last Year’s attendance of the University’s 420 celebration was over 10,000 people!!! You just have to see the video to fully appreciate the event. At certain points in the video its so hazy in the crowd that it looks like the people are in a forest fire.

It looks like a great great time… and surprisingly, the police are present for the event but instead of beating and teargassing the party goers, they do what all cool cops should do and let the fun loving, peaceful people enjoy “the outdoors”.

Pirate bay judge biased?

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

judge

For those of us who have watched the Pirate bay trial followed by the stunning verdicts, some breaking news has come out of Swedish National Radio. According to the Wired article:

One of the four men convicted in The Pirate Bay trial is seeking to have his guilty verdict thrown out after learning that the judge in the trial is a member of two pro-copyright groups, including one whose membership includes entertainment industry representatives who argued in the case.

Stockholm district court judge, Tomas Norström told a Swedish newspaper that his previously-undisclosed entanglements with the copyright groups did not constitute a conflict of interest.

The groups include the Swedish Association of Copyright, a discussion forum. Henrik Pontén of the Swedish Anti-Piracy Bureau, Monique Wadsted, a motion picture industry lawyer, and Peter Danowsky from the recording industry’s IFPI are members of the organizations, and were largely responsible for pressing the case against The Pirate Bay before the judge.

Looks like justice is not blind in Sweden either. Lets hope the Pirate bay guys escape the noose and sail off into the sunset. Go pirates, go!

U.S. States are declaring sovereignty from the federal government

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

revolution_fist

Hey, what do you know? More relevant news that the Mainstream media isn’t reporting. They would rather have you wring your hands over Michael Phelps’ olympic sized bong hits and totally remain oblivious to the fact that 8 different state legislatures have drawn a line in the sand and are introducing bills declaring sovereignty from the United States!

So far the tally is includes the following:

1. Washington

2. New Hampshire

3. Arizona

4. Montana

5. Michigan

6. Missouri

7. Oklahoma

8. Hawaii

The main precedent on the claims by the states are recited by the 9th and 10th amendment of the Constitution (part of the bill of rights). Most of this legislation is in the preliminary stages and is not earth shattering news but this is definitely something that should be a blip on the medias’ radar. The most serious and tangible of these eight are surprisingly, New Hampshire of all places.  From Pat Dollard’s blog:

The New Hampshire state legislature took an unbelievably bold step Monday by introducing a resolution to declare certain actions by the federal government to completely totally void and warning that certain future acts will be viewed as a “breach of peace” with the states themselves that risks “nullifying the Constitution.”

This act by New Hampshire is a clear warning to the federal government that they could face being stripped of their power by the States (presumably through civil war!)

The remarkable document outlines with perfect clarity, some basics long forgotten. For instance, it reminds Congress “That the Constitution of the United States, having delegated to Congress a power to punish treason, counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States, piracies, and felonies committed on the high seas, and offences against the law of nations, slavery, and no other crimes whatsoever;. . . . . therefore all acts of Congress which assume to create, define, or punish crimes, other than those so enumerated in the Constitution are altogether void, and of no force;”

Federal gun crime laws? Void. Federal drug crime laws? Void. The gazzillion other federal criminal laws that deal with anything other than the specific enumerated crimes? ALL VOID.

Looks like states are fed up and no longer trust the federal government to look out for our best interests as a nation. Just look at California…

Maybe the federal government knew this was coming? I can’t help to think that this is why Northcomm plans to deploy 20,000 active duty troops in the United States by 2011 (“Just in case” of some civil unrest!?!?). Coincidence?

Stay tuned chiiiildren!

The U.S. is becoming a fascist state?

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

fascism_fiasco_by_emulated_human

If you’ve been paying attention to the events happening in this country as of late, you should notice that the consciousness of our government and people are slowly moving towards a fascist direction. I don’t know if we are a full fledged fascist empire yet but we sure seem to be exhibiting a lot of the symptoms of one. Take for instance this quote from Benito Mussolini:

“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.”

– Benito Mussolini (from Encyclopedia Italiana, Giovanni Gentile, editor)

What used to be a free and democratic state, we have collectively been dragged into a new social paradigm. The moves have been slow and deliberate much like a pick chipping away at a monolithic stone. One thing is for sure, the country we have known and grown up with is a thing of the past. The acceleration of the loss of our liberties have been severe within the last 8 years especially. So lets list the 14 core tenants of fascism and see if we here in the U.S. have fulfilled these conditions;

List of “W’s” failures

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

1188096596016

Publicintegrity.org was kind enough to compile the mostly complete list of failures of the Bush Administration during these last 8 miserable years. Of course some of the “failures” can be disputed but most of them are verified and abject failures in policy and outright inaction. See whe whole list here.

Of course listed here are mostly policy failures, this isn’t taking into account the other statistics like the skyrocketing deficit, the fact that “W” has taken more vacation than any other president in history and the fact that under Bush’s watch, over 200 years of representative democracy has been transformed into to a quasi facist state that no longer follows free market principals.

You’re doing a hella of a job W! Good riddance!

A ‘Constitution free’ zone on the U.S. borders???

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

From the WTF department, the story from Rawstory.com and the ACLU are divulging disturbing new details of a “Constitution free” zone that starts at our country’s border and extends 100 miles in all around the country. Look at the map below:

What is the “Constitution Free zone”? Well according to the article:

The ACLU says a “Constitution-free zone” exists within 100 miles of the US border, where DHS claims the authority to stop, search and detain anyone for any reason. Nearly two-thirds of the US population lives within 100 miles of the border, according to the ACLU, and the border zone encompasses scores of major metropolitan areas and even entire states.

So what kinds of things happen in “The zone”?

Wednesday’s event also featured a video testimonial from Vince Peppard, another San Diegoan who faced trouble from border agents. Peppard said he was stopped at least 20 miles inside the border on a return trip from Mexico. He refused to open his trunk “on a matter of principle” and was detained for about 30 minutes.

“I didn’t feel like I was in the United States,” he says. “I felt like I was in some kind of police state.”

Alarming information from the various media outlets are becoming more frequent and overt the closer Bush is to the end of his second presidential term. I can’t help but to ask myself “Is this feeling in my gut what consciencious german citizens felt when they witnessed the birth of the 3rd Reich?”.

More abuses of the patriot act by the Maryland police dept.

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

In an article from commondreams.org- In an inevitable and unfortunate new decree by the Maryland Police department, they are now classifying non violent anti war protestors as “terrorists”. Evidentaly, if one opposes the death penalty or is against the war in Iraq in Maryland, you are now a threat to the state.

One of the most stunning draconian statements came from the former state police superintendent who authorized the operation, Thomas E. Hutchins:

“I don’t believe the First Amendment is any guarantee to those who wish to disrupt the government,”

First amendment? Wow, down the chute we go! weeeee!

Sign petition to keep wall street bailout debts off our plates!

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Much like the Patriot act, one of the most unjust and and insidious pieces of legislation is about to get railroaded through congress right under the noses of the American people. The proposed Wall Street bailout tailored by Treasury secretary Henry Paulson and the Bush administration is good for “Wall Street” but devastating for “Main Street”.

In the latest Rasmussen poll, only 7% of the America supports a bailout of Wall Street, and when there are already financial experts and professors stating that this bailout is unnecessary, this attempted robbery of the American people cannot go unchecked. Please sign the petition over at Public Citizen. Take 3 minutes out of your day to have your voice heard.

If this bailout act passes it is tantamount to making almost every American citizen a slave. Here’s an idea… Why don’t we try what Sweden did in the early 1990s to save their insolvent banking system?

MSNBC Censors a live press conference

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

Again, we run into this situation where the truth seems to dig up from the ground despite the best efforts of the mass media outlets. This time the “truth” struck a live press conference with Condoleezza Rice when a reporter makes a comparison to the U.S. reaction to 9/11 to Russia’s reaction in response to Georgian attacks–the live satellite feed “mysteriously” drops off in the middle of his question/comment. The corporate controlled media outlets are getting more brazen and open with censorship (wow has our country changed!). Just in case you didn’t hear about or see this, the movie is posted below.
