Declaration of the Dewey Park People’s Assembly

Saturday October 1^st 2011

** Unofficial and non-active until voted upon by the Assembly **

Before any movement can be taken seriously, it must establish what it wants and why it must exist. The citizens of Boston and the surrounding areas have taken Dewey Park for a variety of reasons. Each of us is outraged about something in this country, and that knowledge drives us to the streets to find solutions for the problems that confront our communities. But, in essence, we are here for one reason. We are tired. We tire of a military economy based on untruths, unrestrained spending and the planned obsolescence of the middle class. We tire of a government that gives tax cuts to corporations for sending our jobs to slave laborers in other countries. We tire of foreclosures on mortgages securitized by the MERS system. We tire of media networks controlled by five conglomerates and the propaganda wing of the Pentagon. We tire of an economy that values wealth acquisition over the rights of every human to live and prosper. We grow tired of social, racial, and gender hierarchies that resist definition and yet allow Americans to believe they live in a country that prizes equality and justice. We tire of courts that consider race before considering the social effects of drug addiction and broken families. We cannot bear the medical, pharmaceutical and insurance industries that are funded by taxpayers but provide no value to the society that supports them. We are sick of fighting alone, and we can no longer afford to lose just because we lack money and organization.

Most importantly, however, we tire of the systems into which we were born. We can no longer live in a world where corporations misuse the resources that should be carefully managed in order to provide a sufficient amount for all. We are no longer content to thrive as empty consumers within institutions that ignore the suffering of the third-world workers that produce our goods. We will no longer tolerate the million-dollar bonuses, or the political contributions that allow corporations to manage our government for their own benefit. We demand the regulation and taxation of hedge funds, investment vehicles, complex instruments like Credit Default Swaps, CDOs and derivatives, and the investigation of any bank that has ever received funding as ‘Too-Big-To-Fail’. Rebuild the FEC and SEC. Create new laws to end corporate personhood. Pass a fair, progressive income tax. Re-institute Glass-Steagall and impose a Tobin Tax on financial transactions. We demand an end to the two-party plutocracy and the corporations that own both parties. The quickest solution is to dismantle the Federal Reserve Corporation and the banks that compose it. To achieve these goals we will use any means except violence. We are the vocal majority.

Bush Lies

Wed, 1 Dec 2010 16:12:03 -0500

Bush lied in his memoir. I don't have a lot of time right now, but I don't think he actually talked to the Department of Justice. John Yoo, Bush's top torture lawyer, couldn't even define torture for the House special committee. When representatives asked Yoo if the president had the right to torture a person, or execute a child, or bury someone alive, or threaten to rape a terrorist's children, or execute an entire town, Yoo alternated between saying "I do not know where the line is" and "Now you're just playing games, representatives". Pathetic. And for Bush to claim that Yoo and his ilk prevented terrorism and saved American lives. Bush ordered the CIA to destroy the tapes and transcripts of interrogations. Any truth in Bush's claims is lost forever. And can I just ask, when did Sarah Palin buy Alaska? I mean, it's hers, right? Or maybe she's just playing her little personal politics game, where she tries to hide the fact that she has no values, morals, or beliefs by personalizing concepts like Family, God and Country, making herself into nothing more than... I'm sorry, I can't do this anymore. I just can't talk about that skank bitch for another second. From this moment on, that reality-show succubus is banned from this blog forever. I won't go back on this promise. She thinks Bradley Manning should be tried for treason. Fuck her. She should understand what it's like to live a lie, constantly faking a personality while fighting an overwhelming need for love and attention. At least Manning had an excuse. The more I learn about Bradley Manning, the worse I feel for him. He was just an isolated gay hacker, pushed into the military to survive in this fucked empire of ours. He was worn down and demoralized by years of reading an endless stream of intelligence, slowly pushed to accept the painful knowledge that the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are illogical, unnecessary and illegal. Do you know what 9/11 was? Allow me to quote myself:

9/11 was essentially blowback for 50 years of covert violence, destruction, and economic assassination of the Middle East by the Western nations. The most obvious evidence of this claim is Operation Cyclone, an attempt to arm Afghan Mujahideen to fight the Russians under Carter and Reagan. Many currrent "players" on both sides of the conflict were trained in US camps between 1970 and 1980, including the Karzai brothers and Ayman al-Zawahiri. However, the need to remove US bases from Saudi holy lands and secure an oil pipeline into the former Soviet Republics were equally pressing concerns for the Bush administration. The 9/11 Commission Report claimed that the funders and nationality of the attacks were both irrelevent facts. I disagree. The hijackers were mostly Saudi nationals and the Bush administration did admit the money came directly from the Pakistani ISI through the United Arab Emirates. Iraq had absolutely no involvement in the attacks. The connection to Afghanistan is similarly suspect. The FBI can only concretely link one of the hijackers to Afghanistan, Bin Laden and the Taliban. Before her death, Benazir Bhutto claimed the man who wired the money from the Pakistani ISI to Mohammed Atta, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, personally killed Osama bin Laden after 9/11. Maybe that's why we let the Bin Laden family build all our military bases in Iraq, as blood money for the son we had to clean up after.

So there it is. Like XXXXX, Manning just wanted a little love and attention. I think he was suicidal. I don't think he understood or cared about the consequences of his actions. Now he's facing 54 years in a military prison. Given his mental state, the court should show significant leniency in his sentencing. The American people should know what their wars look like. How else will they know who the enemies are? Whatever. Bush lies. Banks steal. Obama treads water. Bill out.

Holy %#*&. 9/11 really WAS an Inside Job.

Sat, 30 Oct 2010 15:10:26 -0400

There has been a serious drop in the quantity and quality of my posts lately, and that's mostly your fault. But let me qualify that title by saying, I don't have any idea what happened on 9/11. I've never seen any official version or conspiracy theory that makes complete sense. But I googled myself today, and apparently a few weeks ago I got drunk and left a long, rambling comment on an article called "The Six Most Misguided Causes Ever Made Famous by Celebrities" at Cracked.com. I have to admit that as far as drunken internet posts go, this one was pure gold. I guess I was just angry at Cracked for using Rosie O'Donnell to disprove the 9/11 inside job hypothesis. Here is my response, as well as the two favorable responses I received:

What? How did 9/11 get in here? Way to do a strawman debunking. You know, I used to ridicule the conspiracy, then when I looked into it I realized you absolutely cannot disprove that 9/11 was an inside job. And I don't mean in the scientific sense that you can't disprove something didn't happen. I mean the evidence about the third building, building 7, that collapsed for NO REASON. It wasn't hit by a plane, and it was in fact the first steel-framed building in human history to collapse from a simple non-jetfuel fire. And now we have new proof about Silverstein, the man who bough the WTC complex three months before the attack even though he would have to pay a billion to remove the asbestos from both buildings. He made a call on the day of 9/11 asking if he would still get the insurance if building 7 was destroyed in a controlled demolition. Rosie didn't make that up. A 30 story steel tower in j*pan was completely engulfed by flames for ten hours and it didn't collapse. Building seven had isolated fires on a few floors and fell at free fall speed starting at the top, where the penthouses collapsed about three seconds before the rest of the building. Then there was the whistle blower from Able Danger, Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, who lost his security clearance for trying to tell the 9/11 commission that the FBI knew about the hijackers. Also, why did the Pentagon burn Shaffer's book without letting it be read by the public? Then there was sec. of transportation Norman Minetta, who claimed Dick Cheney watched the plane fly 50 miles toward the pentagon, and when someone asked Cheney if "the orders still stand", he replied, "Of course they do. Have you heard anything to the contrary?" What orders did Cheney give? The orders to send jets to shoot down the planes that were hijacked, or the orders to launch the anti-aircraft missiles stationed on the pentagon? Wait, neither of those things happened even though only Dick Cheney's PEOC office could have ordered them. I usually love this site, but how dare you use ROSIE O' DONNELL as evidence that 9/11 wasn't an inside Job? That's just weak. And you know what? It doesn't matter either way, because of the CIA Operation Cyclone, which funded and trained the Taliban in the art of hijacking airplanes during the 1980s. That's right, Operation Cyclone. Look it up. And Osama B's CIA code name was Tim Osman. He worked for us, and 9/11 was a group of Saudis funded by the ISI in Pakistan. Why didn't we invade those two countries? America created the Taliban, so it doesn't matter if 9/11 was an inside job. Either way it was America's fault.

props dude. Also, the smoke coming from the twin towers was black meaning less oxygen was reaching them. There's also evidence that thermite was used on the steel frame that would have easily ignited form jet fuel fires and torn down the whole building. Also that janitor form the basement who claimed to have felt explosions but while on a campaign to make his knowledge known suddenly "committed suicide" and a host of other f**king things that make no sense and its complete bulls**t that this website not only claimed that the cause to reveal 9-11 is misguided but that fact that it takes the whole thing to be without necessity to prove otherwise is actually insulting for people who have done some f**king research.

Waste of an article. Lazy or no research. I think you went maybe 1 for 6 on these being "misguided" causes. You show extreme lack of knowledge in numerous areas, and it just kind of makes me sad.

Information that took me under a minute to find on the internet:

9/11:
Please note that steel is not flammable. You can burn and pour jet fuel on ONE steel I-beam for weeks and it won't melt. Also, building that don't get hit by airplanes don't perfectly implode into their own sub-basements (Building 7).

Leonard Peltier:
"The tribal council, not the local or FEDERAL government, has jurisdiction over reservations. Different reservations have different systems of government, which may or may not replicate the forms of government found outside the reservation."

Now I have to get back to work.

Keep exposing the Bilderberg, and watch the price of silver over the next six months. I'm guessing ten dollars up. Bill out.

Sarah Palin Unleashes Expletive-Filled Twitter Post

Sat, 25 Sep 2010 01:09:30 -0400

WARNING: This post contains crude language and adult situations.

In a series of 140-character messages posted late last night, the former governor and Republican candidate for VP lashed out at "Pussy-in-chief" Barack Obama and his "Limp-dick faggot-sucking Democrat bitches in the House, especially that cunt-licking bull dike [sic] Pelosi." Apparently drunk on her own power and some alcohol, Palin continued to heap scorn on the President and his party in five further tweets. At 3:14 AM ATZ, she wrote, "Obama couldn't legislate his dick into Emmanuel's mouth, even if Pelosi and Reid were working the shaft." Palin then used the remainder of her balance by linking to the Website of Wayne Madsen, a noted investigative journalist who claims to have evidence of Obama's homosexuality and Indonesian citizenship. Palin's third tweet, posted immediately after the second, began with the phrase "fuck-dick, ass fucking dumb fucker pig-fucking fuckface" and apparently ran out of space halfway through accusing President Obama of fellating Andy Stern. Her fourth tweet seemed to be a slight at Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, asking "Does that ho know what her husband does when she's not around?". Her fifth and final tweet simply read, "From my cold, dead, white hands." This was twelve hours ago, and Sarah Palin has not been heard from since. Without guidance, her panicked fans are beginning to make their presence known on the internet. It now appears the people who relied on her for a daily dose of guidance and meaning are splitting into four groups. A full third of them have declared their undying loyalty to Palin. Two splinter cells just announced their intentions to worship either Oprah or Rush Limbaugh, while another group is missing and presumably preparing themselves for that breakdown of civility Palin was complaining about last week.

Hope and the Money, i.e. debt slavery on the front steps

Mon, 6 Sep 2010 01:09:24 -0400

I just had an amazing revelation. It's true that I've been pessimistic for pretty much, well, forever. But tonight I was sitting in front of my building, watching the MBTA free ride picking up people from the halfway house two buildings down, and watching empty buses driving back and forth over and over again. I was just watching the waste and inefficiency, watching thousands and millions of dollars evaporate as quickly as they were created. There was a PBS news release over the weekend claiming that the bailout so far has cost the American 12.8 trillion dollars. But the value of the dollar has been relatively steady throughout the Obama presidency. I couldn't figure out why inflation hasn't come yet. The most logical two year predictions available was a deflationary collapse brought on by the popping derivatives bubble, with all currencies and commodities rapidly converging on zero. But that wasn't really logical, when I thought about it. I mean, cocoa prices are at an all time high, although not because of a shortage of cocoa beans. Just another case of market manipulation by artificial trading, which is currently destroying numerous South American communities who would like nothing more than to grow and export cocoa beans at basically slave wages. So the high prices don't really exist in real life, like the uncountable zeros in the bad-debt balance sheets of the Federal Reserve. What I'm saying is this system, fractionally reserved and imaginary, could continue to infinity even in the absence of actual value and irrespective of goods and services. In the deflationary event I just predicted (I don't like to predict things. I knew Spain was going to win, I should have said something) America probably wouldn't be able to import or move foodstuffs for a while, but the inevitable demand would immediately drive prices on commodities to a higher level. Not exactly a worldwide armageddon. Then it hit me. The human race is sustainable. The means and goals of life must be drastically altered, sure, but we don't need population reductions. You don't know how relieved that made me. The ramifications were staggering, if you've been following my insane depression over the last few months.

So did Obama lie, or did he tell the public exactly what they needed to hear? Maybe it was our fault. We didn't really want change. We fear chance. There is no such thing as a perfect person. I mean, I love Ron Paul, but the whole concept of property rights is grounded in the archaic notion of resource scarcity, which is no longer an issue. Old beliefs should be eradicated, replaced and destroyed as they are proved unsustainable. Maintaining a failed state will inevitably lead to decay, even according to the entropic laws of physics. Money is no longer important to society. Fuck asking what you can do for your country. Your country no longer exists, like the bullets that killed Kennedy. Democracy is a myth, propagated by those who profit from the system. Two teams of puppets dancing for the same lobbyists. America and therefore the world are both run by a few multinational corporations that now have economic assets to rival even first-world countries. Instead, ask if we have the resources and technology to eliminate the need for government, police and warfare. Instead of subsidizing farmers to not grow crops we could give that wheat to third world countries for free. This solution would virtually end terrorism in impoverished countries like Yemen, which see America only as the source of deprivation and Viper Strike Missiles. Instead of paying interest to bankers we could build wells in Palestine and make the the occupation unnecessary. Instead of waging war we could eliminate medical patents and end disease, combat AIDs and eliminate malaria without the help of Bill Gates. Remember, millions have died in the last decade, through sloth and arrogance and indifference. That blood is on your hands, and none of the chaos and death was necessary. Read the Top Secret America articles. A new system is being created, over and above traditional government, superseding traditional sovereignty. Our problems are technical, not political. If we allow these institutions to evolve and perpetuate themselves, none of these problems will be solved. So did Obama lie, or is hope fundamentally irrational? You decide. You spend over a billion dollars a day on interest on the national debt. Over 500 billion a year on budgeted warfare. Maybe a trillion off the books. Wars and the corporations that profit from them are obsolete. If we can break through certain barriers and structures, a free society, by which I mean free of competition, might be possible. You must stop supporting the system.
