I Give Thanks for:

An international terrorist, elected and not caught,
Given years of protection and fear

For a wage so low, i must choose to live, or to die
for no reason to ask for anything moral

For a life under scrutiny,
For more Torture,

For more dead Soldiers,
For more unmarked bodybags.

For more badly tested drugs,
When we have more than we need,

For another 2 year old,
Kept from Being one.

For more jail cells,
For more invented Crimes

For more money,
going to crimes.

What do i give thanks for??
Nothing anymore.

I am sick of being a capitalist whore.
Aren't you?

Neck Direction

Welp... The Neck's been pretty dead for a while. Yeah, there's been some posts here and there. But it just ain't gettin' the same amount of love it used to. And that makes me sad. Sure, I haven't helped much. I've been busier with other things, particularly Jewschool — which lord knows I never expected to take off like it did. And I know everyone else has been busy with life and whatnot.

But alas, anywho, I've been thinking... Maybe it's time to fold it in? Or maybe relaunch with a new model? Perhaps we should switch to Spectacle and make the site more encyclopedaic? (Is that a word?) Maybe it's time for a new design?

I thought perhaps launching Overt Innuendo woulda helped things a bit. That site's even deader. I'm ready to wrap that one up all together.

What's the deal kids? Is it time to put the Neck to rest? Or can we figure out something to reinvigorate it? And while you think on that, I'd like you to keep in mind the classic Crimethinc quote that may bespeak some of the contribution issues we've been having: "YOUR POLITICS ARE BORING AS FUCK."

Maybe we need to get more radical... More radical in our approach to discourse all together. What are your thoughts people?

Buy Nothing Day N26

As we all know, Nov. 26,is Buy Nothing Day. On a day when people are killed for $26 dvd players, we are encouraged to sleep in, be with our loved ones, and actually communicate. Turn off the TV, disconnect from this Media Spectacle that has become the spiritual norm that has become our lives.

However, as we know, most people are unaware of this, and moreover, cannot comprehend what we are talking about. Sometimes, we can't even comprehend it. So i have come up with a plan. (Drum Roll please...)

Download these and print them out. On Tuesday, late at night, go down to your local Wal-Mart, Kmart, whatever, and stick these things on just about everything. Look like you are shopping, but discreetly place the sticker on the send or third item, etc etc. Use common sense and judgement, but lets use some social marketing on this one. Lets get this out. If we are faced with another four yeas, lets give it all we have, and take back the culture.

Use the comments for more ideas. And please, if you have a few extra bucks, let's get some ads on CNN.

Damn, i wrote this months ago. Relevent still. Nothing changes.

Um, ok. I am, more or less a very peaceful guy. in fact, I love peace. I don't like to fight for anything really. except when I see the face of great evil. And, um, seems to be a 52 year old gray-haired white man, and uh, some greasy swine he caries around with him. He calls them advisors, I call them criminals.
I am not a controlled puppet. the only people pulling my strings are my crappy job, paying way too much in taxes, and a fear, not of being stuck by some terrorist, but by some nazi police state. Maybe I’m just paranoid. Too many Alex Jones videos. Or maybe I have no reason to trust the words that come out of any politician's mouth anymore, and it is time to take this country back to the people. We need to get down on our knees as a nation, apologize to the planet we have utterly fucked and offended, take our country back from people who are not out to help America, but to destroy it.
if we want this democracy, this country to work, we need to have ideas, we need to speak out against injustice, and we need to somehow, for a more perfect union. I'm not talking Kerry and Bush need to become butt-buddies, (ok, who knows what happened at skull and bones, this is after all, a one party system, big business v big business) but we need to figure out just what the hell we are doing as a country, where we want to take the country, and grin and bear it.
Most people believe me when I speak, I keep quiet most of the time, and rarely if ever go on snafu-like rants, but hell.
We are now embroiled in a quagmire in Iraq, a sovereign nation we really didn't have much reason to invade. in doing so, we raised hatreds around the world, in both Arab and Non Arab countries.
And we managed to do this only 17 months after the worst (hopefully)non-government backed attack nation, and planet, has ever ever seen.
at a time when we could have asked the world for help with anything, and some of it we got, we instead looked at what appears to be a rogue CIA operative in a little defenseless third world country. it was, and is not a war. it is a massacre, slowly bordering on genocide. and for the first time ever, we really are the enemy.
We are led by a man who says he takes his orders from god, but I know the president doesn't think that highly of me. His actions say he takes his orders from a energy-military-industrial complex.
So Oil, Power, guns, God, and government. Damn, impressive I’d say. the man is obviously a nutcase, as he worships money, and the greedy corporations that will stop at nothing to make more money, including, killing not only children from some "hostile" nation, but killing children of his own country. Don't the use tanks to gas people who have those kinds of ideas, and a compound of cultists to help carry them out? I mean, they do have a large arsenal in there, and they torture kids on a nice warm Caribbean nation. Did I tell you they have a very good, free healthcare system on this tiny Caribbean nation. haha
We have seen one of the worst cases of corporate greed, and the corporation had huge influential ties to the government. I call that Fascism. And I know that ain’t pretty.
We have so many policies in place right now, that we are going to see something pretty scary in the next, five ten years, and we are all going to be just horrified when we finally see it. Something about oil, living space, teenage pregnancies (now and then), religious zealotry, intolerance and pure insanity, on both sides of the argument.
You know, crush the meek, make them strong to throw gas on the fire, and wholesale slaughter of the innocents. It sounds horrible. I know. I see it. There is a huge divide I feel, and it’s not just a political partisan divide, it is a schism in reality divide. Seems We have All become zombified, to our own little ideals and differences.

But really, what are or differences. Are we really all that different Ki? All I am looking for is a little happiness, a decent paying job, good, affordable, if not free, healthcare, a feeling justice is being done, and that can sleep at night. I have honestly not gotten a good night sleep in years. I see everything falling to shit, and too much fighting and hate. Am looking for solutions, but have too many question.
Are we spending to much on a war stoners and heroin addicts are winning? Are We fighting a war of ideas with the wrong set of ideas, ideas which only inflame the minds of those we are fighting, and those being fought for? Have we all gotten way off-topic, and are now locked in for good in our own ideology that we can no longer look at each other, listen to each other, and constructively progressive ideas so that we, and a group of animals, can come together and co-exist, happily, peacefully and prosperously?
Have we gotten to the point where we are our houses and our checkbooks, where our values are represented numerically, and our crosses, stars, and moons are used to advance intolerance, hate, and conformity?
It seems we have. I have feelings like this is all deja-vu, and I feel like I can see something. I could be crazy, but I have a bad habit of being right. Or at least have such a grip on reality, that it’s almost insanity with pure truth. I am losing the plot, or maybe we all are here. Who knows. It’s just truth is stranger than fiction, and I have seen a whole lot of crazy shit, and it’s starting to get worse.

Meet AG, The New Pick For AG

Praised be the lord, John Ashcroft is gone. But just who might we be dealing with now in his stead? Why, none other than Alberto Gonzales. Initially a lawyer representing Halliburton, Bush appointed Gonzales his legal counsel while serving as governor of Texas, where Gonzales helped execute roughly 150 inmates. Gonzales was later appointed to the Texas Supreme Court where he ruled in Halliburton's interest after receiving a $3000 bribe from them, sparking a row of controversy. Finally, he was appointed to White House legal counsel when Bush took office, and has since caused the greatest controversy by helping cover up war crimes, being responsible for the infamous "torture memo" which caused such a furor earlier this year.

But here's an interesting question, and perhaps gets to the root of this appointment. Gonzales testified on the White House's behalf regarding the Plame leak, which is still an open investigation. This begs the question — can the guy who represented those being investigated now be entrusted to continue in this task without prejudice? Mmmm, I think not. And considering one of them mothafuckas is guilty as sin, it only figures they're going to put their man on the inside to make sure nothing ever comes of it.

Nytche.

[Update] More on Gonzales' scumminess.

Felons Lose Bid For Voting Rights

The Supreme Court today refused to hear a case which could have reinstated voting rights for felony offenders, including ex-convicts, making no remarks whatsoever.
