Occupy Boston: Corporations should not fund a democratic process, Wall St. needs to pay us!

There is no room for corporate $$$ in the democratic world of the 99%, but on the other hand, the 99% vote to make Wall St. pay. So do you want their money or don't you?

A tribute to Dennis Hopper

As you can see in this photo of Dennis Hopper photographing something in Paris, he is using a Nikon 35TI.
I guess i am in good company (or actually real bad company) along with Hopper and Miki Kratsman.
The taschen book of Hoppers photographs is a huge heavy book and is worth its weight in gold.

More photos less talk

Prof. Yinon Cohen, a cleaver guy, lectured at a conference i photographed in Brandies University. After attacking the concept of the "Everything is great in free market capitalism", he went on to say that in the US women get paid 50% less then men. The audience went on snoring through both remarks. A bunch of well fed men in business suits could not care less about such puny matters.

Occupy Boston: The middle class needs more jobs with more pay and less hours, so they can buy more cars, to drive on more roads, the city should spend more tax money to fix the bridges and highways. The middle class respects the police (not like the lower class you know who...)

America does not yet have enough cars, or highway miles: The government needs to employ more middle class people, so that it can spend more tax money it does not have to build more roads, and fix bridges for cars to travel on, instead of, say, promoting public transit. wow now thats anarchism for you. 


Protesters said the march was meant to draw attention to the nation’s aging bridges and roadways, the need to fix them and the availability of unemployed labor, but the apparent inability of the government to put people to work.


Why protest if we can just make our point heard, besides, the police are hard working men, with a strong union, and they have a hard job, why make it harder for them by protesting?


“It was a good thing not to march on the bridge, the Boston police have their own problems. If we respect the police, they’re going to respect the demonstrators.”


If this is what the herald has on its front page, who am i to argue?


"The system’s been rigged for 30 years in favor of the wealthy at the expense of you in the middle class. You’re the ones working longer hours for lower wages but paying higher and higher taxes"

Almost the same, except for his many talents, cool head and dedication to purpose.

Occupy Boston: "Fuck the poor people, give us guns"

From left to right:

On the left - The middle class is what makes america great, it what makes the american dream possible. thats why Occupy Boston protesters believe in some form of capitalism, as they "We work towards organizing a movement capable of overcoming an unjust system and forming a new society within the shell of the old", or another great sign spotted on camp that read "Capitalism YES, Corruption NO".

So fuck the lower class, fuck the poor people who make the existence of a middle class possible.
In the real America there is only a middle class, and the people who really suffer because of the recent economic drought, are those suit wearing hard working 99% middle class white people, who are over qualified for a "good job", but too proud to take a job with the same conditions a member of the BOTTOM class would be happy to get for half the pay.

On the right - an NRA flag, with a silhouette of an M-16 rifle, with the writing "Come get it" below.
Fuck the poor people, and give us guns!

So whats the message? fuck the poor people, we the middle class are the 99%, we want more money to buy bigger homes, faster cars that waste more fuel, and vote for one of the two presidential candidates that we really believe in.

Everything is OK, Occupy Boston might include some crazy anarchists, leftists and liberals, but by and large, they are saying what every American believes in - America is the greatest and we love it just the fucked up way it is.

The 1015th post.

It used to be an important thing, one worth SMSing about. 12:34, 11:11, 22:22 and so on.
Today i had hoped to have the 1111 post on this blog, go on at 11:11, on the 11th of the 11th, of 2011. I guess this stuff is not that important to be thought about so often anymore.

Today i got soap in my eye while in the shower. after that toothpaste sprayed in to the same eye.
But i guess thats nothing compared to that chinese girl who died after she was run over by a van, and a few moments later got run over by a truck.

Like all the disillusioned people of my generation, i feel like the amount of rage help up inside me could fuel a revolution, i feel just like i did when i was 18. Im eighteen and i like it, all over again.

It used to be that i was too young to vote but old enough to get drafted, now it means absolutely nothing.

What i saw in Dewey Sq., and why there will never be a place for me there

I dont go around arguing a public place, like a public park, saying it is a good place to hold an occupation, because why the hell not allow a protest to be in a public place, then hold a meeting in that same public space, and tell people they cannot stand in that public place because they are of a wrong gender, race, color or whatever.

That and some other issues not worth the effort.

The women's caucus is closed to the ears of men, and the anarchist caucus has no women. the voice of the group is the same all the time no matter what skin color the facilitator happens to wear. this is what democracy looks like.

Phoged aboud it - its a fugazi.

The machine rages on? with Iphones in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
