And the headlines in New York City say today that another person has lost their life to gun violence, for no reason at all except for the fact that guns have been invented. And this time psychiatric genocide and the mental death system seems to be involved. And as I have blah blogged about the Veterans, psych trickery and violence a few blog posts ago, I could easily copy the same blog entry over and over in my appeal to end gun violence. And as those postings went; I oppose the psych trick system, I am anti medical model, National Alliance For The Mentally Ill, an organization of parents who lock up their children in psych wards, and American Psychiatric Association, and consider myself anti psych”c.i.a”trickery abuse, against the psychiatric state and do not believe mental illness exists and that psychiatry kills and originates from the Holocaust eugenics and from the extermination and persecution of thousands of psychiatric inmates during Hitler’s Third Reich in Nazi Germany where psychiatrists were mass murderers in white coats who fed on the poor, powerless and marginalized, as is the case today, and that the mental death system is also an extension of Orwellianism, where family members turn in family members, and neighbors turn in neighbors to the thought police for thought crimes. And a mans enemies shall be those of his own household. Psychiatry and psych trickery is an art and not a science. And so I would like to think of mental illness as problems in living and society. And I believe in the abolishment of forced psych cia trick treatment that is often oppressive, cruel, tyrannical, humiliating, torture, inhumane and a form of social control. Psychiatric drugs, psychotropic drugs and forced drugging kills. Therapy? The rap y? Y the rap? Therapist, The rapist. Mind Freedom is a great website to read for all things alternative to the mental health death system. And as I have written in what seems like every other blog posting, who invented guns? Guns are the worst invention of an industry ever. And the news stories are endless of persons losing their lives to gun violence on a daily basis as the news stories were yesterday and the news story will be tomorrow with no end in sight, for no reason at all except for the fact that guns have been invented. I could copy my blog entries over and over in my appeal to banish the gun industry and guns from every human being on the face of planet earth and to end the use of the images of guns in all forms of advertising, marketing, film and television as I have written in blog posts of the past. Does not advertising influence society. Are the slaughters of wars debasing the value of human life? Will the beast, who or whatever it is, ever release it’s grip on mankind? Are the standards of social behavior declining? Is there a worldwide moral breakdown? Is society collapsing? Where is the world headed, is there hope? And one can turn the page of the newspaper to forget about these stories and atrocities of the world, yet they still exist.I am only one blogger, one voice. No one is free while others are oppressed. Is another world possible. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?
A Silent Film And Television Show
As I was MyBlogLoging on that great blogger community with a bazillion blogs and more today, I came across this interesting avatar, one of those blogger profile photos that caught my eye. It was that pyramid symbol on the dollar bill of that all seeing eye, that eye that sees everything, that mystical secret unknown Illuminati, free mason secret society thing symbol. And appropriately the title of this blog was called The Views Of The All Seeing Eye Views. And they had a message on their page that stated “With the writers strike about to go into week two, swing by to see some hilarious clips from Jimmy Kimmel’s Unnecessary Censorship. The tears will be from your laughter. Enjoy!” And so I swang by their page and that YouTube video posted below is kind of funny. And the Writers Guild of America is on strike now, and their Hollywood writers strike has the film and television industry silent with no mew material at the moment.
The Mixer
Mixers. What can I say about them. I have heard of them. Haven’t mixers been around forever, or at least since the 60’s I think. When I think of them I think of those now vintage ads of theirs in those now vintage magazines from the 60’s or 70’s maybe. And I would imagine that I have had or passed by at least one of these appliance at some point in this lifetime. And what about that Eclectrics® Mixer. The name alone sounds like it has come a long way since those hand held manual rotary utensils. Those electronic gadgets sure can make life easier sometimes and help out in the kitchen a great deal. And if your recipe requires a mixer as part of the preparation, the Hamilton Beach Mixer, and a Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer can make your dinner that much easier to make. And from what I remember, this company has been around forever also, and is a trusted household name. Make room for the holidays with their mixers. Their All Metal Stand Mixer has lots of great features for mixing that batter of bread, cake or cookie dough and they have the best value in performance stand mixers. Their mixers can mix up that recipe in a millisecond of time it would take to do it by hand and that can be a great advantage if your hands ever get tired of mixing those egg whites. With the holidays approaching and turkey time at hand, their mixers can be there to help. This is a sponsored post.
A Season Of Change
And not only does the calendar say that today is Veterans day, that ultimate patriotic holiday; it also says that today is Sunday, the Sabbath, a day of rest. Or is that Saturday? And so I find myself blah blogging away again on what may be perceived as that day of rest. I picked up a copy of New York Spirit the other day as I was passing by this health food store. New York Spirit is this really cool new agey spiritual, holistic, health and nutrition magazine. And on the cover of this months issue they have an article about celebrating the harvest, and so I guess it may be that fall harvest time of the year again. And they also have this interesting article inside about change. What is change. The only thing constant is change. Well, according to their article; Pluto is now in Sagittarius and something about a Galactic Core thing. And what’s interesting is that this has something to do with change, or letting go and moving on, or not letting go and not moving on, or finishing things up or something. Wasn’t Mercury just in retrograde last month where Murphy’s Law ruled and everything that can go wrong will go wrong? And this article goes on to say that Pluto is moving across the core of the Milky Way once more during October, ending it’s once in 248 year connection with the Galactic Core. Since this passage began back in March of 2005, our lives have been filled with an urgent sense of wanting to “get things right”, or going. Does that mean everything has gone as we would like it to have gone. Now that’s interesting. I believe in astrology, and this one is a really complex one for me comprehend. Destiny, is it written in the stars? Whatever this Pluto and change thing may mean, have a great Plutoing day.
Honor The Veterans?
I thought I heard someone say yesterday that today or tomorrow is Veterans Day, another one of those patriotic holidays where the flag wavers come out in force. Let me check the calendar to see. Oh yeah, the calendar says Veterans day is today. Is this day observed in America only, or is this day observed in the rest of the world also? And so I find myself reposting a posting I posted several months ago for Memorial day, another one of those patriot holidays where the American flag wavers come out in force. Veterans account for a majority of the homeless mentally ill population these days, and a majority of them are disabled now as a result. For what reason is this an honor to support? I consider myself antipsychiatricky and do not believe mental illness exists and that psychiatry kills and originates from Nazi Germany where psych cia trists were mass murderers in white coats as is the case today, and that the mental death system is also an extension of Orwellianism, where family members turn in family members, and neighbors turn in neighbors to the thought police for thought crimes. Psychiatry and psych trickery is an art and not a science. And so I would like to think of mental illness as problems in living. And I believe in the abolishment of forced psych cia trick treatment that is often cruel and inhumane. Therapy? The rap y? Y the rap? Therapist, The rapist. Mind Freedom is a great website to read for all things alternative to the mental death system. And so today is Memorial Day in America. I mean Veterans day in America. A celebration of the war day. Another one of those patriotic holidays. The flag wavers are out and yellow ribbons, badges of honor, medals, parades, marches, prayers, patriotic songs, tributes and ceremonies are being broadcast everywhere. The headlines read “Honor the dead soldiers, honor the fallen soldiers and comrades”. Today is the ultimate patriotic fanatic holiday, or the ultimate hate hour as George Orwell might say. My question of the day; for what reason is it an honor to volunteer to be fodder for the canon. For what reason is it an honor to die for nothing, to fight for reasons that do not exist, to fight against the flesh for powers that be that one cannot even see. For what reason is it an honor to be so poor that one will volunteer their life in exchange for money after one leaves the service, if one leaves the service. For what reason is it an honor for persons to be brainwashed with propaganda, theirs or mine. For what reason is it an honor to become a violent person and pick up a gun and kill another person for no reason at all, except for the fact that guns have been invented, the worst invention of an industry ever. For what reason is it an honor to be a veteran who now make up the majority of the homeless population. For what reason is it an honor to attend one of those military sponsored funerals and cry over the image of a flag that propagates violence, the same flag that caused ones death. For what reason is it an honor to fall and die for nothing. For what reason is it an honor to promote this ideology. What is heroic about all of this? And why does the word “Patriot” have the word “Riot” in it? And why does the word “Military” militant militia have the word “Mal” in it? “Parens Patriae, father of the people”, the guardian. That phrase seems to be the basis of an endless amount of death and suffering in the world; the protection of property or other material things. I saw Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 documentary. It is nineteen eighty four and Orwellianism is everywhere at its best today. Is it written somewhere that this must all come to pass? Happy beach bar b queing Memorial day, I mean Veterans day. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?
A New York City Pass
Now that’s interesting. I have never heard of a New York CityPass, or at least a tourism New York City pass. Yet the City Pass website says “Give the gift of NYC this holiday with a CityPass”. Now that sounds like it can be fun. If it cheaper than those New York City Metro passes to travel, then I may opt to become a full time tourist with this pass. It sounds like it can be a great way to travel around town and do all of your errands while seeing tourist attractions at a great price. Okay, well, according to the City Pass website, they offer the best of New York City with tickets to six of the city’s icon attractions in a pocket sized booklet you can buy for half price. The passes are perfect for visiting friends or relatives and locals alike. The CityPass makes an affordable and unique gift for this Holiday. Each booklet has a ticket to The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the new Greek and Roman galleries, Museum of Modern Art, Guggenheim Museum and the American Museum of Natural History. Plus, a trip to the top of the Empire State Building Observatory and tour of the Manhattan skyline from the water aboard a Circle Line Sightseeing Cruise, along with a map, public transportation information and insider tips on the best time to visit each attraction. And their CityPass is sold at 50% off the combined admission price compared to the price if the tickets were purchased separately. With just a few clicks on their website, you have a ticket booklet to the most famous museums and experiences New York City has to offer. Happy travels and tourism. This is a sponsored post.
Yoga
If it’s free, then it’s for me. There is an article in this weeks Village Voice, or was it last weeks Village Voice, titled “Best Free Yoga”. Free you say, where do I sign? I could use one of those yoga gurus and some free stress relief in this stress laden town and I am forever trying to figure out ways how to do that for free. So maybe I can add Yoga to the People to my list of free yoga places to go and make my way over there to St. Marks Place in my attempt to destress and do the whole yoga route for free and ohm my way to bliss and nirvana. And what is yoga anyway, that great new agey, spiritual, meditation, relaxation, holistic healing thing that can be great for exercise and breathing and where I find myself chanting “Ohmmm.., I have debt of a bazillion dollars and how am I gonna pay it back and how will this class help me ohmmm….”. And why does yoga sound like Yahweh? Or does it. Does it lead nirvana or the head of Christ or something. That could be a whole another blog posting. Ohm Shanti.
Censorship
“CENSORSHIP: an exhibition featuring artists in distress”. Now that sounds like a great topic for an art show. The following is yet another email I received for an event that looks interesting so much that I thought to repost it. And again, lately I am finding myself posting more and more events because hey, it’s less writing sometimes. And what better venue to have an art show titled Censorship, than at the Brecht Forum. And I hear The Himalayas will be performing there also. So if you happen to be in the New York City area tonight, this looks like an event worth checking out. And I have for some reason found myself using that word lately in regards to free speech, democracy and the Pacifica, WBAI elections radio drama that I have been following lately. And what is censorship, free speech and democracy anyway. That’s a whole another blog posting. And what does this have to do with a No Police State? Have a great art day.
Friends,
This Thursday, November 8th, from 6-9pm is the Exhibit Opening and Reception of the Censorship Show at the Brecht Forum in the West Village. Featuring Live music, poetry, dance, and artist talks.

Curated by L2EL Arts, this month-long, multimedia exhibition also serves as a benefit for freeDimensional whose efforts work to promote social justice through artistic communities around the world. CENSORSHIP is curated by Jennifer Harris and Thomas Bell. Please visit freeDdimensional and L2EL Arts for more information and details as the show approaches.

From New York Magazine
Founded in 1975, the Brecht Forum is devoted to promoting social change and independent thought. Though the institute is supposedly nonpartisan, its programs and classes — some run by in-house groups like the New York Marxist School and the Institute for Popular Education — unabashedly skew to the far left. (Not surprising given the center’s namesake: socialist German playwright Bertolt Brecht.) With a full-time staff of just two, the center relies on over 100 volunteers to teach classes and lead discussion groups. Now housed in its sixth location, an artists’ complex near the Hudson River, the organization’s 5,500-square-feet of space is divided up into a gallery, two classrooms, and a theater set apart by a semicircular drywall built by local high-school students. The theater’s chairs are stacked amid exposed wooden pillars while films are projected onto a white wall; a function-first aesthetic which Brecht himself would’ve approved heartily.
All Are Welcome
Though most classes and events have an admission fee, rarely is anyone turned away because of an inability to pay.
Rare Books
One of Brecht’s classrooms contains a small library of Marxist books – some quite rare – by the likes of Lenin and Trotsky.
This Ache
Repair this tooth. What can I say about dental repair except that life can be full of aches and pains sometimes. Some of those pains can be mental and some of those pains can be physical. Or maybe sometimes life can be full of no pain at all. And what about that toothache if you have ever experienced one. Short of going to find a pair of pliers and pulling ones tooth out to relieve the pain, there can be an easier option. Nowadays, Dentemp OS can come to the rescue when you find yourself curled up in that fetal position to get to sleep after the pain has been so unbearable in your attempt to ward off the dentist as long as possible. Dentemp O.S. can provide a magic fix for temporary dental repair. And it sounds like the coolest product ever if you happen to be looking for instant fillings without having to visit the dentist. What an invention. If you lose a cap or a filling, Dentemp O.S. is right there. Dentemp is an FDA approved over the counter dental cement that is a perfect first aid product for fillings, loose caps and crowns. It comes in six repairs, requires no mixing, is resealable and stays fresh and you can even eat on it. Dentemp provides temporary relief of pain and discomfort for that tooth and it sounds as if Dentemp can be a great dentist on call and that you can have your own fix it yourself dental repair kit with their product.

Big Brother Is Still Watching You
It’s George Orwell nineteen eighty four, minister of propaganda, miniplenty, surveillance state, telescreen time again. And as if to be a prophet himself, Big Brother is still watching you again as George Orwell might say if he were alive today. I got on the bus the other day and lo and behold, he is still here, watching you, or someone. There were cameras everywhere on this NYC MTA bus and it makes me wonder when will those Metropolitan Terrorize its riders Association prerecorded “If you see something say something if you see a suspicious package turn your neighbor in and all your bags will be searched messages start appearing. And what was the term for that in 1984, the spies who turn each other in to Big Brother? Is Big Brother all over the world now. Is that a technology thing. And who is Big Brother, what does he represent. And what is that book Brave New World about. Isn’t that a science fiction book also. That’s a whole another blog posting. And i read that somewhere in London that the streets are talking to you already. If you drop trash on the sidewalk, a voice from out of nowhere yells “Throw your trash away”,. And what is someone looking for with these cameras on the bus, and who is watching the cameras. No one is free when others are oppressed. Is another world possible. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?
No Police State
