Broken Window - Broken Bones - HATE on the RISE
Mood:

irritated
Now Playing: My heart cries ...for the human skin... not corporate windows
Topic: FAILURE by the GOVERNMENT

A reply I sent to an email I recieved that mentioned windows broken and a statue toppled in Portland by protesters.

(windows broken statue toppled)

to start the converstaion

i dont throw rocks or break window

i dont like seeing stuff happen like this....

its sad that these issues cannot be rectified

BUT

when a country prides its self on racism and hate and violence

when we have statues and art that cherishes that ugliness

something needs to change !

something will change !

it has to

i don't support property damage

but a building or a glass door... or a cement statue mean very little to me

i don't think OMG ..... I actually think "why are people so upset to react like that?"

i wouldnt act that way *but

...i understand their rage and hurt and the meaning of these symbols (statues/art etc.)

to be crushed or removed ...they cant continue to stand in representing what they are (its not right)

sad times

never seen so much hate in all my life

i blame elected leadership and us citizens

i blame and the support citizens toss to the leadership

.... "to keep the status quo and make no changes"

i blame the support of citizens encouraging Gov Agents using guns, violence, prison, military and its weapons to crush any protesting change ideas or social justice concerns

i always will also repect life

over property

if you have to only pick one --> I say LIFE --> I say People ....

Cause it is getting down to what side are you supporting

I could write for hours on this topic

i spent 20 years begging the leaders to work for peace

(yet) the past 2 years has unleashed so much HATE upon our society challenging all I worked for

to such an EXTREME degree that I no longer try to change society or help push forward peace (its to late)

50 percent of the country hates my activism and supported crushing the left progressive peace / justice voice

Hundreds flock to wave guns and flags and mock and threaten my voice and my 20 year message

That worries me WAY more than broken windows

I (myself) worry nothing much over property damage these days (i knew it was coming)

I REALLY worry --> that the heart of America's soul is now gone - that's the gut feeling worry I get now!

We are a country of guns police and power and abuse, and we use it AGAINST our own citizens

...and its a failing greedy corrupt system that is crumbling before our eyes

too bad we couldn't of peacefully all worked together

everything I worked "peacefully" for years ...was met w/ resistance

the powers that be (GOV, Police, Big Banks, Big Labor, EPA, Police Unions, Mayors Office) all pushed back and made no amends to correct or hear the voice for change.

I was concerned about police abuse for 20 years and took those issue front and center to City Hall or the police

- the reaction from leaders and the average society was --> SHUT UP they have a hard job to do

The mayor, the president, big banks, big corporations, immigration laws, civil rights, and little old grannies asking for no more war ...have all been met w/ OPPOSIOTION FULL ON and been pushed back by armed guns and GOV agents

... So with all the push back - it takes "the protest" to new levels.

The writing was on the wall obvious to me.

Violence begets violence.

For 20 years I face armed cops right nose to nose.

They had weapons...we had peace signs. THEY HATED US - THEY PUSHED US AND ARRESTED US

we were all peaceful .... the authorities response has NOW increased the level

The peaceful group n longer "just takes it" they are pushing back and I applaud the bravery, that i cant do

I don want to be beat up or imprisoned for many years on trumped up Riot charges

I gave up trying to make peaceful change the very next day Trump took office

I laid my camera down and headed to the woods

I am as pissed as many of the protesters you see on twitter

I'm fed up - so are they - I am beyond fed up - Its an APEX - Militant Violence is next

So a window is broken

My heart is broken

The window or statue doesn't break my heart

((BECAUSE))

The hate to other people sanctioned and approved by our corrupt capitalist 'racist; country makes me cry

My heart hurts over how we treat immigrants

My heart bleeds daily on our evil sick ICE laws to cage families and say we are a good people a proud nation(not)

I don't hurt over a broken statue

The irony and crazy world we live in is ruled by people who like /love property

And could care less about people

Its Property over People

The police "protect property"

and THEN (also) beat people up or cage them in their HUGE prison system (But ...its their job so its OK!) (not)

This (rage in the streets) .... is the outcome due to this bad system

and it will get worse as we go

Mark My Words! I know more windows will be broken and thus more humans caged, [property over people]

You don't fix societies troubles with violence on people

the first reaction to that will be ----> property will be ruined

Its a no brainer

My heart is broken

Not by the revolution and the protesters.

But by the establishment and brute authorities police protecting capitalism and its array of prisons, torture camps, ICE cages, and Walls of Hate.

sad days

sad it has to get this low

sad that violence on people will be used to try to contain the uprising

sad that --> love and compassion and understanding...WILL NOT BE USED (repeat) NOT BE USED by police

sad that this administration will make no amends or change in its behavior (NONE) repeat (NONE)

sad that people will be hurt and killed

oh ya

sad that a window got broken

I dont mean to be smart ass about it

the revolution has been afoot for a decade

the fact it has not gotten better for ANY SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUE

has caused RAGE in the streets

i FULLY understand it

i FULLY see why it happens

I FULLY see how it could be changed

but it wont

the resistance will be met with guns and violence on their bodies

the human bodies of resister will be shot, beat and chained, they will receive LIFE sentences for rioting{?}

the human bodies who stand defiantly for change --- will BE BEAT DOWN

the humans who want to confront this corrupt system head on WILL BE MET WITH ARMED GANGS

and cheered on as they are dragged across the cement ...tearing at their skin...tossed into a cell to ...

let their human body ROT in a cement cell with ""RIOT charges""

that human skin will rot off his human bone in that cell

... and meanwhile the WINDOW WILL BE REPLACED....

the beat goes on

get the bad guy

stop the protest

don't break window

let the skin rot

build bigger cages

alas ....I'm going camping for 10 days on Oct 17th

my heart will be crying......

but not over a toppled statue or broken glass

LOVE YOU GUYS DEARLY

Peace and Resistance

Better Days Ahead

Down is the New Up/ The New World (TRUMPed)
Mood:

don't ask
Now Playing: Chandler/ X and whats his name
Topic: FAILURE by the GOVERNMENT

Down is the New Up/ The New World
Chandler/ X

Honest to goodness
The bars weren't open this morning
They must have been voting for a new president of something

Under the Bush administration
I spent about 300 days a year doing
nothing but making George W Bush Joke
But under Trump,
I have barely mentioned his name.

At first I did not want to add to the noise out there...
(and there is a lot of NOISE out there!)
then I didn't want to go off half cocked...
then I wasn't sure which direction to fire
because bullets ricochet
in funny directions when you live in a bubble.
That is floating like the ghosts of Joe Hill, Harriet Tubman, Eugene Debbs, Mother Jones
and Caesar Chavez

Do you have a quarter?
I said, "Yes", because I did
Honest to goodness, the tears have been falling
All over this country's face

It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name
This was supposed to be the new world
It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name
This was supposed to be the new world

and this got me to thinking...
If a ghost can walk through walls -
Why doesn't he fall through the floor?
At that point I realized
I was on the edge of something really big...
standing upon a giant precipice.
And that is probably not a good time to put your
best foot forward...
I mean.
I've always liked the metaphor of hell being beneath us...
'Cause Sometimes...
Ya gotta go through hell...
Don't we know it!
Aren't we all goin through hell these days?
but sometimes ya gotta go through hell
Sometimes...
Ya gotta get down there and wrestle 'dem demons
Hell,... Sometimes...
Ya gotta get down there
and jello wrestle 'dem demons -
but when yer goin' through hell, like we're all goin' through right now - what ya gotta do is keep going -
'cause the world is round
and if you keep goin throuh hell, and you keep goin'
you're gone' come out on the other side -
wondering why everyone is speaking in Australian accent.

It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name

In the Trump Era,

This was supposed to be the new world

down is the new up

It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name

"Make America Great Again"

This was supposed to be the new world

and "America First"

It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name

are contradictory statements -

This was supposed to be the new world

America will be great again,
when she sees herself IN the
world not AS the world.

America will be great again
when she treats her
neighbors like she would herself.

She will be great again
when she realizes that
" America First"
implies that there is a race
... in which one could be or become first in
- in the first place.
Not America First...
Earth First...

Flint Ford Auto
Mobile, Alabama
Windshield Wiper
Buffalo, New York
Gary, Indiana
Don't forget the Motor City
Washington, D.C
Now is not all we need.

What he is proposing is The wall building, The Trade wars is Nationalism... Pure and simple...
and the infrastructure spending,
that is being proposed is well... socialism...
it is in fact - a word that I don't like to use that often because I think it waters it down... but there is no way around it - it is in fact, by by definition..
National Socialism.
so if WE are looking for a way forward...
and I think we are all looking for a way forward...
let us grab every crow bar,
every monkey wrench,
every guitar,
every paintbrush
Every Ballot
and use them as a tool
to to pry the socialism away from the nationalism.

It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name
This was supposed to be the new world
It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name
This was supposed to be the new world

... this Cabinet of Billionaires
and I want you to mention this to your conservative friends and family, because i know you've got them...
The rich that are in power
could really care less about any of this whako
conservative agenda…
But as long as there is something resembling a
government, the rich need large numbers of people to
support them.
So they will say or do anything to stay in office.
(hear this!)
they don't actually care of these social issues.
They don't NEED to care.
They don't LIVE in society.
They have their own school systems,
their own hospitals.
They have their own police force.
Soon they will have their own military.
I am not afraid of Iran getting the bomb.
I am afraid of Exxon getting the bomb.

It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name
This was supposed to be the new world
It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name
This was supposed to be the new world

Oh sure, they will give money to the church to show they
"Care" about social issues.
But, we all know giving money to the church doesn't
make you a good person any more than buying tickets to
the game makes you a third-baseman.

What the church offers to the rich is people.
The one thing the 1% does not have
is people -
99% of us to be exact.

All we need is money
Just give us what you can spare
Twenty or thirty pounds of potatoes
Or twenty or thirty beers

But wait a second...
within the 99% a whole lotta
working class folks voted for Trump!
and are planning on voting for him again.
Poor people. MY people!
What did we do SO wrong
to allow your average red neck to
believe a billionaire
descending from the Heavens
on a gold plated escalator
in a Manhattan skyscraper
has their interests at heart?
To make the world GREAT again, we
WE have to burst our own bubbles!
We have to go out there and yes,
befriend a red neck.
DO NOT UNFRIEND THEM!
befriend them (us)
Because regardless of how this election goes,
we are still a divided nation.
But, if each and every one of us goes out and befriends,
and turns around!
one Trump Supporter
we could make America Great again...
and THAT America
maybe (just maybe)
COULD help make the world great again.

It was better before, before they voted for What's-His-Name
This was supposed to be the new world

Walk softly and carry a big carrot.

Because like I've always said - if you think there is a
cutting edge , than you ain't on it.

Which is why I don't think this is that "edgy" of a
thought...

...if the rich can cross the lines
between right and wrong
like ghosts walk through walls - maybe it is time they
also fell through the floor.

And maybe (just maybe)
they will all go straight to hell -

This was supposed to be the new world

and frankly, that's the problem...
the rich have never been to hell.

This was supposed to be the new world

They have never known suffering, want or need.

This was supposed to be the new world

so maybe,
if they spent an hour
experiencing the hell
that you and I go through on a daily basis,

they would understand what hell really is
and remember that the world is round.
and maybe, they would keep going until
We all come out on the other side.

wondering
why everybody is speaking
with an Australian accent.

and this COULD be the new world

5 Things I did that day

1. Got up early - evryone is still asleep here at my house, I made some coffee working on this 555 Blog (It takes a good ammount of time daily to do all this blogy blog blog stuff every day by golly - hmmmmm!?)

2. Worked on my website for the Shady Grove Newsletter - If you already have the link WELL then you can see the newsletter --> E-mail me for the link - I kind of try to keep it realitivly current and updated _{PLEASE KEEP IT PRIVATE}

3. Been cloudy all day (Saturday) - so far I have been staying inside w/ random walks to the backyard - its 54 degrees and cloudy at noon in Portland - I seen some patches of sunhine around 4PM- Both ducks were back today. We didnt see the female for one day

4. Watched this 12 minute ^{COVID info} YouTube video on how to make a homemade mask and Why its important when going out in public - Good Info - Good Ideas #MASKup

5. I finally uploaded my taxes (I am getting a refund thank goodness) It took a bit of navigating online and waiting on HOLD for 35 minutes (_HELP) for an HR Block rep tell me how to get out of the free version and move to the version I needed (93$) - Once I got the advise it was a peice of cake and its now done

5 Ideas & reoccurring thoughts of mine

1. COVID Peak Level ? Are we reaching it ?^{["...At the national level we seem to be pretty much close to the peak"].} The news says we might be getting close

2. Around 5 or 6 years ago a published a STREET GARBAGE blog - nothing too exciting, and actually kinda gross and disgusting. Damn city life and people who could care less created some visuals for me to document. Kind of fun n interesting to look back on it. Just so you know things in these areas have not not improved in 2020 LOL THEY ARE WORSE!! - Oh well ^(sigh)Shady Grove is trash free http://www.joeanybody.com/streetgarbage

3. I watch this guys YouTube channel from Russia - he is usually doing Off Grid stuff and Survial Bushcraft type stuff - Check out his latest 11 minute video with over 5K views titled: Covid-19 In Russia | How It Really Is

4. Can you believe this crap: The title should be SICK & TWISTED MONEY WASTED ON USA HATE POLICY The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office (GAO) says the Trump administration wasted nearly $70 million over a period of five months to jail fewer than 70 people at a tent city in Tornillo, Texas last year, including shelling out over $5 million for hundreds of thousands of meals that were never actually ordered because there were no detainees. We know mass detention has always been cruel and unnecessary—and as the report also shows, a complete waste of your money and mine. LINK

5. The beans for beef scenario is, it seems, upon us. If Everyone Ate Beans Instead of Beef. With one dietary change, the U.S. could almost meet greenhouse-gas emission goals. LINK

5 Pictures of things I have seen or want to pass along to others

1. A cart left on a street corner, This picture is from my STREET GARBAGE blog 2014

2. Uncle Sam wraps his loving arms around Cuba

3. A drive to Goldendale - Columbia Gorge

4. Oh Starsky.... where have you gone?

5. Oregon Country Fair - picture of a metal plate with a nice message

ON THE TOP RIGHT SIDE OF THIS PAGE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CLICK ON ANY DAY OF THE CALENDAR TO READ THAT DAYS REPORT FOR MY 5-5-5 BLOG

5 Things I did that day

1. Figured out the washing maching problem - If I set it and leave it, it will work fine, if I touch the dial or mess with the settings once it has started it glitches and so do I (LOL) - I do nothing and its fixed. So I washed another 5 loads of everything I could find

2. I spent endless seeming hours outside (all day) - mostly n the sunshine - listening to Mt Hood Jazz 89.1 FM (radio streaming link)

3. Assitsed Stephan in clearing my side desk for this big fish 50 gallon tank he installing in my room - Today Steph cleaned the tank really good outside n the front yard and the tank is now in my room (big plans he has)

4. Drove 10 miles this afternoon to get my 2 big bags of sawdust [FREE] from my woodworking cabinet making / connection for using on my compost system(s) and for sprinkling on the trails out at Shady Grove - This guy has an endless supply of sawdust for me - heck I could go into the compost cover-up supply business

5. Folding tons of clothes in the evening - listened to OPB radio world news & old time radio programs on the computer and then fell asleep watching old B/W TV shows on YouTube --> like Charlie Chan and Dragnet

5 Ideas & reoccurring thoughts of mine

1. https://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-news/people-often-think-their-gut-s-not-ideal-pandemic-n1179926 Pandemic decision-making: Why Humans aren't wired to understand the coronavirus

2. The curve seems to be getting flatter - so I hear - no large events till end of summer .... that is the rumble I hear in the news chatter, i wonder if that applies to Portland and my job

3. Around noon I get a notification to check out the news on the COVID from the video news site "DW" - here is the 14 min YouTube video link (info on strict quarantines and threats to Democracy in Germany and Europe and other UK countires) (Also some Conspiracy Theorie info on the new 5G transmissions is at end of clip #Anti5G ) --> https://youtu.be/uDTEscXp1Po

4. Doing random moments of quite meditation and relaxation to ease the stress and wash away the anxity - need to perfect my zen patience tollerance thresholds and just go with the flow

5. The ducks have both been stopping in and out throughout the day but I also noticed less little birds lately ove the past few days - who knows why - I do have a couple wood peckers knocking away on the telephone pole.

5 Pictures of things I have seen or want to pass along to others

1. Picture of a cherry tree in bloom in the back yard - you can see a squirrel is in the middle of my picture - probably eyeing my bird feeder

2. Picture of a big 2 foot by 3 foot drain in my back yard - works perfect with the washer. The drain probably is there due to the pool in the back yard.

3. Wind chimes I made that took me a few hours to construct (it) was more detailed and intricate than I imagined even with these Simple Instructions I found here

4. The ready to go - empty fish tank in my room (stay tuned)

5. A bird bath I got of Craigslist for FREE - It is big beautiful and heavy (it has a small leak) I will fix that - I do like it in my front yard but I bet I drag it up to Shady Grove

ON THE TOP RIGHT SIDE OF THIS PAGE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CLICK ON ANY DAY OF THE CALENDAR TO READ THAT DAYS REPORT FOR MY 5-5-5 BLOG

5 Things I did that day

1. Got up around 10 AM read some news articles -&- checked my email

2. Sat around in the back yard - seemed like all day - the sun was nice- I moved inside once the sun went down around 7:30

3. Organized some of my file drawers inside my room - found some old good stuff

4. Listened to some old time radio - this one wasnt to bad 30 mins on YouTube

5. Day dreaming of going to Shady Grove - but things still on hold for various reason(s) - Hope to get up there next week [if not sooner]

5 Ideas & reoccurring thoughts of mine

1. GITMO is still open with 45 people still locked up with no rights given to them and torture tactic being used and allowed due to no oversight, lies and loopholes. This is insane https://mailchi.mp/closeguantanamo/coronavirus-and-guantanamo

The home page for this group who is working hard for human rights at GITMO is here https://www.closeguantanamo.org/

2. The washing machie worked for about a dozen loads and now it seems it is locked in constant draining (damn) - might as well as take a look deeper to isolate the problem - (Im not doing anything else cant hurt to pretend to be a washer repair guy for a while)

3. I raked up a bunch of the slippery leaves and flowers from the Magnolia tree - in front of the house and on the porch, it looks much better now (LOL at least for a while till the wind blows)

4. I'm hearing and reading things of hope for May 1st regarding the virus / economy

5. This stay at home is teaching us all how to be patient and at peace with ourselves, when confined and doing nothing day after day.

5 Pictures of things I have seen or want to pass along to others

1. This picture is: the outside urinal that drains into the compost bin. It drains into Picture #two - I made this little private area in the back corner of the yard, right by the pool pump equipment. I ran a gutter down sout into the compost bin which is 2 feet way, The other end of that gutter I put a funnel for the user to access as seen in this picture. When done using the homemade urinal, the user takes the spray bottle to spritz a couple sprays of Vinegar water into the funnel which kills the smell. This little system (off grid style) of mine as been going for over 2 years and is not smelly or gross in the slightest bit, with this urinal style set up... I have saved 1,000 of gallons of water (LOL) - dont tell my neighbors

2. The humanure compost bin - This is a two bin sytem....The bin on the left was used for 1 year and now is no longer getting any new product ((beside the feed from the urinal by way of the gutter / funnel set up)) - This bin on the left, sits covered in straw for one year - the contents will break down to composted dirt. (wow) to use around the flower beds, the bin on the right is the one in use now - after one year of dumping buckets into it (the one on the right) (from the compsot toilet set up we have) this bin will then sit for one year with no new product and it will be covered in straw as well. This (off grid) humanure system has worked fine for two years so far... it has no odor no flies no stinking smells at all. There must of been over 10,000 flushes saved by using this system. This bucket system is a simple toilet seat on a bucket - use it for going #1 and #2 then cover up your business by using cups of sawdust. You do this till the bucket is full after a couple weeks - when full you dump it into the outside bin and cover with straw. The bucket in use (with the seat on it) covered in sawdust DOES NOT SMELL - its amazing and hard to belive. We have been doing this for about 2 years now. I do still have my regular toile.

3. A free work light that was found on my walk yesterday - this baby works fine!

4. My morning coffee and toast and toasted in the backyard around 11AM

5. These sticks will bloom beautifull red / orange flowers in summer, The bees and hummingbirds and butterflies love it. It is in the back yard and looks like its just some sticks now - LOL ...years ago I ripped a bunch of these bush (sticks) out when cleaning & weeding up .... not knowing it was a beautiful bush (yikes)

5 Things I did that day

2. Lee and me took a walk in the afternoon for about 4 blocks

3. Got the old washer in the backyard all hooked up and working (cold water)

4. Went with Lee to Albertsons and got some fried chicken and a 6 pack of beer, we sat in the back yard as the sun went down

5. Listened _{(too much killing n shooting - Im glad I didnt watch this)} to the movie Tombstone (2 hr cowboy movie) in the background - while I woked on this 555 blog around 10 pm at night - Them Tombstone days were some mean times - glad I missed out on all that type of stealing / shooting / killing in a pathetic western style

5 Ideas & reoccurring thoughts of mine

1. I was given an article A Guide for Activists on Stay-in-Place Orders

....to read and think about you can check it out: here is the related link

2. I keep thinking good positive thoughts about this whole virus - cant wait to see my predictions come true and we start pulling out of this funky-COVID-madina

3. I am on pins and needles awiting to read the offical PAM (work) update... regarding unemployment or using sick time hours and for the estimated time we will be shut down.

4. The ducks are back every day..... and still not using my cool nest area I made for em

5. Im cleaning an area (side desk space) - (slowly!!) in my room to put a fish tank that Steph has and wants me to be the host. I said yes if he maintains the tank. - More cleaning and prep work is required but light in this (project) tunnel is slowly getting brighter

5 Pictures of things I have seen or want to pass along to others

1. My neighbors did some chalking in front of their house

2. My neighbors chalk drawing - I like this saying "We are all in this together"

3. The washer in the back yard that works and - now we (household) are all washing our clothes like its going to banned tomorrow (LOL) we have been w/o a washer for a while in true hippie style

4. Another free box (paper towels bread food items) was out in front of another neighbors - wow - spread the love not the virus

5. A picture of a little store in my neighborhood, cute little store - I havent been to this store inyears ..its only 3 blocks from my house - this store has been in this neighborhood for over 20 years (I think)
