Occupy

 I occupy a space, I inhabit myself. I live here, occupying myself. We live here, together, occupied. The somewhat compulsive quality of our active self occupation has maybe caused our occupation of this planet to bring to mind 'conquest', the way nations have occupied nations, the way we've colonized our territories, in the past. It is funny, you know, we' are one species, people, sharing one contained form, in this case, a sphere- but there lingers in the air a sense of having conquered…

Some Thoughts on Patriarchy

Patriarchy literally means the rule of fathers.  In more ways than we imagine, we live in a patriarchal society despite the trappings of what we call democracy.  One way this is evident, for instance, is in the desire of so many people around us to be “patriotic.”  That is, people who are patriotic declare their support in the most literal sense for the fatherland.

There are so many directions to go with this discussion, but let me start here on one path.  Patriarchy, I hope it should…

ELDERS OFF OUR ROCKERS! Don't just sit there! Your life's experience is needed by these young activists! Share Your Wisdom!

Hello out there in Occupy Land! Especially you BabyBoomers! And all of you Elders! 

We need a massive mobilization of the older generations to support the determination of our young people to make these needed changes! We've already done battle with this heartless "corporatocracy" to earn a living and raise our families. 

We can't even enjoy the fruits of our labor or rest on our laurels or even rest on our verandas There's still so much work to be done! Those who recognize…

Occupy and our memetic imperatives

Little sketch here for your review and comments.

Every living organism has a biological imperative to sustain itself in its environment and to reproduce.  Organisms may survive through domination or symbiosis.  Either way, a critical point is reached in time.  In symbiosis, stasis may be reached and this may subject the organism to dangerous competition.  If dominance is the chosen method, then the organism will run out of resources and harm the host or…

TURN the light ON. No more secrets.

I am gathering detailed information on how the postal service screens mail.  Rumors that new tech is sending detailed information from inside letters and boxes to a new database .Its goal to intercept or copy and delay communications between parties. What is new is how they are monitoring and gathering the info into very large databases and the list of who has access to this information is not known..

Fascism Scares Little Amy

Occupy SLC user KA Peterson to Antimasonic - Um. Holy sh#t. Don't post this crazy crap on my page again.

 

Antimasonic’s  response

Amy, why is Antimasonic the "bad guy" for telling you this? Antimasonic doesn’t capitalize from dead fetus. Are you trying to distance yourself from reality by distancing yourself from Antimasonic's nuggets of truth? How will you distance yourself from the fact we are slaves to the Federal Reserve? How…

Antimasonic Correction

Jitendra has not slandered me lately or threatened to delete my posts, but he refuses to answer the questions I posed to him in my article entitled "Jitendra Needs To Give Power Back To Women". The Women of Occupy and Antimasonic are still waiting!

Antimasonic Takes Beth To School!

From Occupy Café user Beth in Boca to Antimasonic

Hi!  Thanks for  checking in.  Problem with me is that "anti" is a problem for me.  Thoughts of anti-poverty, anti-war, anti-aging, anti-hunger always meant (to me) that attention/focus was brought to a problem---with a vengeance.  So, instead of being anti-war, I chose the peace movement.  Honestly?  If you want to put on the light for us to see more clearly, that's good.  It doesn't require any hammering of Jitendra, etc. Peace to…

Antimasonic Suspended From Occupy Social Network!

Occupy Social Network user MOD totally dissed Antimasonic after they posted their controversial essay entitled "Dead Babies On My Face".  MOD called Antimasonic an "attention whore". Antimasonic responded politely by saying, "Why has MOD called me a whore? Isn’t a whore a sell out?  If so, who have I sold out?  Isn’t a whore a traitor?  If so, who have I betrayed?  I speak out against Fascism. Occupy speaks out against Fascism. MOD speaks out against me. If an enemy of an enemy is a friend,…

Jitendra Needs To Give Power Back To Women!

Jitendra commented on my "controversial" essay "Dead Babies On My Face",

"Frankly, your "babies" post is on the edge of deletion.  You seem to have a propensity for characterizing people that don't share your sexual preference.  You seem to also value shock as a device.  Neither of which I'm inclined to support nor provide much space for."

I ask you Jitendra,

1. Jitendra, are you so omnipotent that you have the power to know what my sexual preferences are?

2.…

Mr. Slave

Before I examine Cultural Imperialism or America’s influence throughout the world, I must examine the history behind the Fascist influencers  of American media. Who are these Fascist influencers and how do they gain control over America’s media? I will explore all of these things in my essay entitled “Mr. Slave”.

Mr. Slave

16 tons and what do you get. Another day older and deeper in debt. St. Peter don’t call me because I can’t go. I owe my soul to the…

Occupying should be just the first step

Occupying is a means to achieve certain ends. Agreeing what these ends are is the second step. Developing strategies for achieving the ends is the third step.

In my view (from Occupylsx) physical occupation is getting to be a drag on moving forward towards the objectives. The Finsbury Square camp, for example is in a bit of a sorry state physically (ok, partly due to the wet weather). The economics work group is attempting to hold its twice a week meetings on site but even a suitable…
