The most heinous song ever written

2010-08-19T15:57:00.000-07:00

I just came across the most heinous song ever. Mainstream corporate music has finally outdone itself. Never has a song been so distasteful and irritating. Even the band seems to hate this piece of crap. It's sung with such utter contempt that the only possible solution is for the band to commit group suicide. Warning, these lyrics may cause nausea, headache or depression.

"So sick of the hobos
Always beggin' for change
I don't like how I gotta work
And they just sit around and get paid

I hate all of the people
Who can't drive their cars
Bitch you better get out of the way
Before I, start falling apart

I hate how my wife
Is always up my ass
She always wants to buy brand new things
But I, don't have the cash

(Refrain)
Well I hate my job, all my rich friends
I hate everyone to the bitter end
Nothing turns out right, there's no end in sight
I hate my life

How come I never get laid?
Nice guys always lose
How could she have another headache?
There's always some kind of excuse

I still hate my job
My boss is a dick
I don't get paid nearly enough
To put up with all of his shit

-(Refrain)-

-Musical Interlude-

I hate that I can't tell
When a girl's underage
And how when I tell her she's a nice piece of ass
Then her daddy punches me in the face

So if you're pissed like me
Bitches here's what you've gotta do
Put your middle fingers up in the air
Go on and say 'Fuck you'

-(Refrain)-

So much at stake
Can't catch a break
I hate my life

No there's nothing new
And it sucks to be you
I fucking hate my life

FUCK"

The first line really upsets me. How do you have a problem with hobos? So you are upset because a segment of society decides to do something about it and you have the gall to critcize them for it. That would be like if I hated McDonalds but I was to afraid to leave because I might run into ex McDonalds workers who I despise even more. Anyways I just thought I would share this song which I think reflects a lot about what is going on in society.

Adam Kokesh Brings Hope that Change Can Come to Washington

2010-03-05T13:47:00.000-08:00

Santa Fe Reporter says Adam Kokesh is a "Young Turk" in the mold of New Mexico-style Republicanism like former Gov. Gary Johnson. Adam is the local face of a movement that "brings hope that a change is going to come" to local libertarians and conservatives, independents and Republicans. As the article explains, "it’s true that Republicans, particularly the libertarian breed, have an opening." The Tea Party has already succeeded in giving libertarian hopefuls like Kokesh an edge.

Even as former state Sen. Grubesic admits that the New Mexico Democrats are corrupt, he is still so out of touch as to think that "liberty" and "the Constitution" are code words for hate. Kokesh gives voters an alternative to incumbent Congressman Ben Luján and his friends like Dolores Huerta, "who organized the United Farmworkers Union with César Chávez and is a board member of the Democratic Socialists of America. That’s right—a socialist."

James Traficant for President of the United States

2009-10-15T12:48:00.000-07:00

I learned about James Traficant about the same time I learned about Ron Paul in the mid 90's. They became my favorite Congressmen from their respective parties. I was a republican at the time so I followed Ron Paul more closely. I lost touch with both of them after 9-11. By 2004, I was done with politics period. Ron Paul cured my apathy in 2007. The revolution needs a breath of fresh air and I think James Traficant is that new energy. If Ron Paul is the greatest statesman then James Traficant is the greatest lawyer. We need a lawyer to convict the criminals who are running things. His entire political carreer has been to expose corruption at the top. If you don't know much about James Traficant, he has a pretty amazing biography but he is best seen in video on the House floor, in Congressional hearing and in his post prison interviews. He is my Presidential candidate for 2012. Check him out.

James Traficant Is Free and should really run for president!

On the road with Adam Kokesh for Congress

2009-07-27T20:32:00.000-07:00

I spent a week with the Adam Kokesh exploratory committee in the first half of June. I brought my journal but there was no time to blog or journal. One story stands out. We made a road trip from Santa Fe to Bransom Missouri. I don't remember all the details but we had stopped in Oklahoma and had dinner with RJ Harris and his campaign for Congress. There was a tornado watch in effect and I kept watching the news for updates. Nobody seemed to care that there was a tornado headed right for us. I have never seen such intense lightning storms as I did that night. We drove all night headed East and in the early morning before we checked into motel we stopped at a Super Wall Mart in Branson Missouri. We are dead center in the bible belt ready to make some purchases 4:30 in the AM. I get out half asleep to stretch my legs. Adam leads me to the shoe aisle where we have the most interesting discussion about dress shoes. Adam needs a pair for a presentation he is to make later in the afternoon. There are three black dress shoes to choose from all around $25 and all look almost identical. I suggest the ones with the slighter thicker sole and then we make are way to the shoe polish. Only in the military are there such elaborate discussions on shining shoes. Do you get the assembled shine kit or do you buy each piece individually? Do you get the applicator brush or do you get the cloth? Semi gloss or parade gloss? I say get cotton balls but Adam has other ideas about spit shining. We continue to the counter where I find my oddball purchase of the night. It's a DVD called "Lars and the Real Girl" It's about "a shy, lonely, socially inept young man who develops a relationship with a life-sized, anatomically-correct doll he orders online." It's not the type of movie you would expect to find at a Wallmart. They have a box stacked full of dozens of copies for $4. I purchase a copy satisfied that I won't find a better deal or better attempt at gonzo journalism.

Repeal the Federal Reserve 4-25

2009-03-04T17:09:00.001-08:00

By Harold Gray
JustGetThere | Organizers from EndTheFed.us are planning to have a bigger effect this year educating the public about the history of the Federal Reserve system, and taking action to repeal the Fed with legislation introduced by Congressman Ron Paul. This years efforts include a viral internet presence, petitions to Congress, a D.C. phone call campaign and nationwide rallies at each Fed location and other major cities. The website has also been revamped since the last "End The Fed" events on 11/22/08. Tools on the site provide petitions and information for people to become signature gatherers and locally organize with others. Banners, forms and petitions are also available for download on the site. The nationwide Repeal The Fed Rally is on April 25th, and on April 27th the petition along with signatures will be presented to Congress, coinciding with the D.C. phone campaign and Ron Paul's speech at the National Press Club. JustGetThere attended and shot video of the "End The Fed" Houston rally with Ron Paul, and we look forward to covering this years event as well.

There is legislation before Congress that would End the Fed by repealing the Federal Reserve Act and restoring the power to issue money to the People via their elected Congress.
End The Fed petition to Congress reads:
In Support of the "Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act"
In order to re-establish a sound, constitutional monetary system, return the power to issue money to the People and their Congress and create the conditions for a renewal of our economy, which has been devastated by the current, unsound monetary regime:
We the People of the United States of America undersigned demand that Congress pass the "Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act", a bill to abolish the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Banks and to repeal the Federal Reserve Act, within the calendar year of 2009.
http://justgetthere.us/blog/archives/Operation-Repeal-The-Fed-04.25.09.html
What are the goals of
Operation Repeal the Fed?
In addition to eventually passing the "Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act", this campaign aims to:
1. MAKE AN ISSUE OUT OF IT. Put the issue of the monetary system and the Federal Reserve squarely on the table for real discussion and debate by Congress and in the media.
2. WAKE UP THE PEOPLE. Educate the public about the Federal Reserve, the monetary system and the need for Sound Money for America.
3. MOBILIZE. Build the End the Fed! movement, recruit new members and build our grassroots coalition

2008-08-05T21:30:00.000-07:00

Great American Walk for Freedom Traverses Wisconsin
Effort Promotes Constitutional Government

On August 11, 2008, a group of “latter day Paul Reveres” will step forward and take a “Message of Freedom” directly to the people of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Displaying undaunted commitment to the restoration of Constitutional government in America, these self-described “patriots of the 2nd American Revolution” will traverse 280 miles in 21 days to arrive in Minneapolis for Congressman Ron Paul’s “Rally for the Republic” on September 2nd.

The group feels that the fundamental principles of the Constitution are no longer being followed in America today. “We have lost our way. We have a government of men, not a government of law. We’re talking about the restoration of Constitutional government and the rule of law”, says John Zwengel, one of the group’s organizers and a computer graphics artist from rural Illinois.

Educate and Organize
The organizers are quick to point out that The Great American Walk for Freedom is not a protest or a demonstration. “This is a campaign of outreach, education and organization”, says Los Angeles resident Steven Vincent. “In each town we pass through, with every American we meet, at every farmhouse and every crossroads, we will educate the people about the condition of the country and the solution to its troubles: the principles of Liberty and the Constitution. “

A fleet of rented RV’s will serve as mobile dormitories, mess halls, bathrooms and supply vehicles. The RV’s will be decorated to advertise their message as they travel and will serve as housing in Minneapolis as well.

Taking the “Case for Freedom” to the People
The group plans on distributing thousands of copies of the U.S. Constitution and “USA Tomorrow” newspapers and will hold Town Hall Meetings in some 24 locations along the route. “We will cut a swath across two States and leave a trail of Freedom in our path” says Michael Maresco, who hails from Hawaii. “Samuel Adams spoke of ‘setting brushfires of Liberty in the minds of men’. That’s what we aim to do.”

At these meetings the group will give a presentation entitled: “The Case for Freedom: The Constitution is the Way Forward for America”. Jim Azzola, an online bookseller from New Hampshire said, “We will also encourage dialogue about the Constitutional issues raised by the presentation. We intend to spark thought and discussion giving voice to the People on the most pressing matters facing the nation today.”

Vincent feels that “Americans are ready to hear the message of Freedom” and notes that “the response from the people of Wisconsin has been tremendous. We have Town Hall Meetings scheduled at High Schools, Public Libraries, American Legion Posts and Churches. The responsive participation we are receiving is exemplified by the leader of a Boy Scouts troop who, upon learning of the upcoming meeting, offered to distribute flyers to all the parents and scouts at their next gathering. He also volunteered to place the flyer on public bulletin boards around town and place an ad in the town newspaper.”

The organizers say that several returning Iraq War veterans will be joining their Walk for Freedom and that Wisconsin veterans organizations have been among the most interested in hearing their message. Harry, an 81 year old WWII and Korean War veteran from rural Illinois, is contacting VFW and American Legion Posts about the Great American Walk for Freedom. Harry feels that something has gone wrong with the country and feels compelled to act. “I can’t believe what this country is becoming. It’s sure not what I went to fight for”.

We The People
The organizers emphasize that it is a non-partisan effort. The Freedom Walkers are an odd assortment of Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Independents and others whose basic agreement is that the Founding Fathers gave America a governing rule book to follow and that it is no longer being followed. “I always say, if you don’t have rules, then you’re going to have rulers.” says Steven Vincent. “Someone is going to decide. If it’s not the unbiased law, then it’s going to be men with a self interested agenda”.

The Great American Walk for Freedom will have a big “Kick Off” from Lambeau Field in Green Bay on Monday, August 11th at the Packers home opening game. Their first stop from there will be Pulaski, Wisconsin.

To find the complete schedule of stops and Town Hall meetings, visit http://www.Walk4Freedom.com. To participate in the Walk for Freedom, set up a Town Hall Meeting, make a donation or otherwise support this effort, contact: freedommessage@sbcglobal.net or leave a message at 414-256-1307.

Early Soundgarden Canvassing Video

2008-01-18T02:44:00.000-08:00

This training video was made in the early 90's but it still has a lot of good information about canvassing specifically in the Pacific Northwest. Those canvassers would have been ok if they had brought dog treats with them especially for the more vicious dogs. Also, I would have the truck driving over a John McCain sign but that's just me.

I think we can make a better training video even without Soundgarden doing the music.

2007 Recap

2008-01-18T01:42:00.001-08:00

2007 was pretty uneventful until I found out that Ron Paul was running for President. I immediately donated some money and signed up to the campaign. I joined the Seattle Ron Paul Meetup group and atttended their first Meetup July 1st at Magnuson Park. There were around 100 or so Ron Paul enthusiasts which was very encouraging. I grabbed a box of 2000 slim jims and brought them home with me. The next Saturday there was another Seattle Meetup at Greenlake. This time around 20 walked around the lake with signs and handed out slim jims. This was my first introduction to homemade signs and the Ron Paul stamp. I realized that the only way a grassroots campaign can win is to use alternative campaign techniques are as I lake to say "guerilla tactics". One gentleman I talked to said he had already had a long day before he came to the lake. It turns out that he had flew in from the Iowa Straw poll and that he came directly from the airport. He had already given the max contribution and was thinking of how to donate more. I have never seen this much commitment from any candidate ever. On July 9th 2007, Ben Hinkle founded the Bellingham Ron Paul Meetup. When I joined soon after there were about 15 members. We had our first Meetup in mid-July at Boulevard Park. Fifteen people showed up and we haven't looked back since. In August I recieved a call from a member about a booth at the NW WA Fair. I thought he was talking about helping with the GOP booth but he had a crazy idea of having a Ron Paul booth. I said that I could help staff the event and create a schedule. Ben Hinkle paid for the booth with his own money and the next thing I know is that we have a booth at the Fair. The Fair was a huge success for us. Our membership really took off after that . We probably had around 40 members by the beginning of September. I had a goal of pushing to 100 members by 2008. On Dec 31st 2007 we had numbers 100 and 101 join. Today we have 126 members and we are still growing. I think 2008 is going to be even bigger and better.

Thank you so much for starting what I like to call Flyers to Freedom or Fridays to Freedom. I was impressed with the eight people who showed up last week but even more impressed with the three or four new people who showed up and have become members of the Bellingham Ron Paul Meetup. I didn't expect much for participation in December but I was pleasantly surprised to see that we have had our biggest month yet and membership is surging to almost 100 members. We had a great year in 2007 and 2008 promises to be even better. Happy New Year!

I am thankful for then punk rock band Bad Religion. For over 20 years they have been makeing socially conscious music. There music is about society and politics and they haven't changed a bit. There new album sounds like "Stranger than Fiction"which came out about sixteen years ago. "Welcome to the New Dark Ages" pretty much says it all. I am thankful for music that has saved my life and I am thankful for Ron Paul who has brought many freedom loving people together to bring about positive change in this country.

I picked this song by Nine Inch Nails from the With Teeth Album as song about how if you are a slave then every day must seem exactly the same. If you don't understand then watch V is for Vendetta or Freedom to Fascism. I think this song would have worked in one of those soundtracks. This is probably a good way to blog.

The future of an Evansville-based company that produces a "private voluntary barter currency" known as the Liberty Dollar is in question after federal agents raided the facility this week, according to an e-mail sent by its founder.

Federal officials reportedly raided the group's headquarters, located in a strip mall at 225 N. Stockwell Road, early Wednesday morning and seized documents and precious metals.

FBI Agent Wendy Osborne, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Indianapolis office, directed all questions on the raid to the Western District of North Carolina U.S. Attorney's Office. A spokeswoman there said she had no information on the investigation.

Bernard von NotHaus, the group's monetary architect and the author of the e-mail, did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

Von NotHaus developed the Liberty Dollar in 1998 as an "inflation-proof" alternative currency to the U.S. Dollar, which he has claimed has devalued since the Federal Reserve was established in 1913. The silver medallions are produced by a private mint in Idaho on behalf of Evansville-based Liberty Services, which also issues paper notes which the group says are backed by silver reserves.

Liberty Dollar employees were at the office this morning cleaning up after the raid. They referred all questions to von NotHaus.

According to the e-mail, about a dozen agents arrived Wednesday morning and seized gold, silver, platinum and nearly two tons of recently delivered Ron Paul Dollars. They also took all the files, all the computers and froze the group's bank accounts, the e-mail said.

"We have no money. We have no products. We have no records to even know what was ordered or what you are owed," von NotHaus wrote in the e-mail, which was sent to Liberty Dollar customers. "We have nothing but the will to push forward and overcome this massive assault on our liberty and our right to have real money as defined by the US Constitution. We should not to be defrauded by the fake government money."

The e-mail said the gold and silver that backs up the paper and digital currency was confiscated, as were the dies used to mint the Liberty Dollars themselves. As a result, it warns that recent orders placed for Liberty Dollars may not be filled and it encourages supporters to band together for a class action lawsuit.

The e-mail repeatedly defends the Liberty Dollar as legal.

"You did nothing wrong," von NotHaus wrote. "You are legally entitled to your property. Let us use this terrible act to band together and further our goal to return America to a value based currency."

I would like to know if the FBI even had a warrant and what reasonable cause they had. I plan on contacting the United States attorney office and I am interested in what they have to say. I also had $20 invested in Liberty Coins and I want them now. I suggest if you had an order stolen like mine was you have a duty and an obligation to contact the authorities. Here's their contact info. Be courteous.

Ron Paul for President

2007-09-03T10:11:00.000-07:00

I am supporting Ron Paul for President because he is the only candidate with the principles and integrity to be able to turn this country in the right direction. Take a moment of your time to Google and Youtube Ron Paul and see what I mean.
