Bailout Blues News


Hey Bloggers, and one would think that from watching and listening to this days Headline News, that the sky is falling as today’s headlines around the world read such titles as “Another Traumatic Day”, “Fed will provide up to $900 billion in loans to squeezed banks”, “Markets Take Another Plunge”, “Stocks suffer blowout as global crisis persists”, “Markets Plunge To Lowest Level In Four Years”, “Stocks Fall Amid Global Selloff”, banks are in crisis and global markets are falling. And the list of these Wall Street New York Stock Exchange headlines goes on and on in the midst of what seems like a never ending series of other atrocious headlines all to innumerable to mention in this blog posting. And what does this stock market thing mean that has been in the news seemingly around the same time as the presidential elections. Will everyone be able to go christmas shopping this year? Is this the depression recession everyone may be in the soup lines at the same time thing. Does everyone have to start hiding their money and gold under a mattress and pillow now. And there seems to be such a global collapse of the economy and the debt of men of this earth in the news so much now that even the Federal Reserve and Treasure are having difficulty printing up enough money fast enough to cover it all. Is this 2012 on track, doomsday, the apocalypse. What would Nostradamus have to say about this or what would that Internet bible dictionary Wikipedia have to say about this stock market crash thing. And so maybe during those recession depression times, squatting and homesteading could arise, and living off the land could arise and everyone could be free from being wage slaves for the lords of the land. Whose idea is it that the land is for sale anyway, a basic necessity of human life. Housing is a human right. No one should work, everyone should relax, we could still maintain the land. Can the world become one big Rainbow Family for all nationalities of Babylon and humanity. And what is that Rainbow Family Native American Hopi Prophecy of the Rainbow Warriors all about that says the Rainbow Warriors will save the earth from environmental destruction. Is another world possible. No one is free while others are oppressed. Squat the world. And for what reason does that verse from the Bible come to mind again “For the love of money is the root of all evil, which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows”. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.

Psych Trickery


And I am not sure what this all may mean, but these headlines keep repeating themselves, time after time, day after day. And though the names may change, the story remains the same. Another person takes another ones life because they were on psychiatric drugs. And the latest headlines being “NYPD Rips Taser Cops”, an article that is to be found in last weeks NY Daily News. And this article seems as if the polizei are now using taser guns as a license to subdue someone, and the mentally ill to where that person loses their life. And this person was called an emotionally disturbed person, an EDP, or every day people. And I do not believe in mental illness. I think of mental illness as problems in living. Psychiatry is an art and not a science. And I do know that psychiatry kills and that psychiatrists are mass murders in white coats, as psychiatry and the mental health death system were born during Nazi Germany where the mentally ill were the first group killed by the nazis and were required to wear a yellow star badge. And I oppose involuntary psychiatric intervention because it is a violation of an individuals right to control his or her own soul, mind and body. And I oppose forced psychiatric procedures such as drugging, electroshock, psychosurgery, restraints, solitary confinement, and “aversive behaviour modification”. And I oppose the psychiatric system because it is inherently tyrannical. And I oppose the psychiatric system because it is an extralegal parallel police force which suppresses cultural dissent. And I oppose that psych trickery for a whole lot of other reasons. And it is my hope that forced psychiatric treatment could be abolished. No one is free while others are oppressed. And I know that common neuroleptic psychiatric drugs such as Thorazine, Haldol, Prolixin, Navane, Mellaril, Stelazine, Compazine, Dartal, Daxolin, Lidone, Loxitane, Moban, Orap, Permitil, Prozac, Proketazine, Quide, Repoise, Serentil, Sparine, Taractan, Tindal, Trilafon, Vesprin and others cause brain damage and tardive dyskinesia. And it is these tranquilizers which cause homicidal and suicidal thoughts in individuals, creating more and more of these “A mental person takes another persons life” headlines. And so I thought to post this blog entry again that I posted from some time a while ago:

And there it is in the headlines in the news again today. The AM New York says it was the fourth shooting at a U.S. school in a week. Another person has lost their life to the latest rampage of the day. It is in the news on a daily basis so much that I am just going to repost a blog entry I posted just a few days ago:

There is was in the headlines again yesterday. A rampage occurred in a different state of America everyday this past week and another person has lost their life to gun violence with no end in sight. And it seems as if I could almost devote this blog to reposting and repeating this blog entry over and over on a daily basis with no end in sight. The following is a blog entry that was posted a few days ago:
There it is in the news again today. Again, I could cut and paste my blog entries over and over in my appeal to banish 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. Guns are the worst invention of an industry ever. The am New York had an interesting statistic in an article titled “Guns and people”; there are nine guns for every ten people in the United States, a scary statistic. And there is another interesting article in their paper titled “Mayors band together to combat gun violence”, some sort of acknowledgement that there is a problem. And The Villager has interesting statistics in an article titled “”Lower East Siders blast back against gun violence”, New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, told a forum that 30,000 people a year are killed in gun violence nationally. And yet another person has lost their life to gun violence, and everyday someone loses their lives to acts of gun violence for whatever reason and no reason at all except for the fact that guns have been invented. It is a story that has been told in yesterdays headlines and will be told in tomorrows headlines with no end in sight. It is an industry that feeds on itself, advertisement and sensational nationalism breeds crime which breeds news, which breeds crime, which breeds more advertisement which breeds more crime. Will the cycle of the beast that has it’s grip on humanity ever end. Should not guns be abolished from humanity as a whole, from everyone on the face of planet earth. And then there is that constitutional 4th amendment, the right to bear arms that should be abolished or rewritten to abolish guns and replace them with sticks and stones or something. The idea that property, material goods are worth more than life. It seems as if it is that story “The Emperor Wears No Clothes” and the whole world is paying with the loss of human life which seems to be a disposal commodity in the war industry of people against humanity. 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 could turn the page of the newspaper and forget about these stories and daily atrocities of the world, yet they still exist. And I watched that film Bowling For Columbine by Michael Moore the other day. It is an amazing documentary to me never seen before in the history of time. And the on the back cover jacket for this film it says: “Acclaimmed filmaker Michael Moore (Roger & Me) takes aim at America’s love affair with guns and violence in this Oscar winning film that “demands attention” (People)! Mixing riveting footage, hilarious animation and candid interviews with everyone from the NRA’s Charlton Heston to shock rocker Marilyn Manson, Bowling for Columbine is a “brilliant” (The Hollywood Reporter) tour de force of filmaking.” I am one voice, one blogger. If only it were possible to go back in time before guns existed. Is another world possible. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?
And this latest massacre of the day story, as well as another loss of life story of the day earlier this week are also a psychiatric state. So much that I just find myself reposting the same blog entry I posted just a few weeks ago it seems: And what doe these stories have to do with a No Police State?

And my friend gave me a flyer as we were discussing the latest atrocity of the day in relation to gun violence. It is a flyer she received back in April at Union Square Park of New York City. And it is a flyer about gun violence and psychiatry. The Pharmaceutical industry is bigger than the war industry. Psychiatry Kills. Abolished forced psychiatric treatment. And what’s that “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” film by Ken Kesey all about anyway. That’s a whole another blog posting. For all things human rights and psych cia trickery and alternatives to the mental death system, Mind Freedom is a great website to visit to support human rights in the mental health system. I am one voice, one blogger. Is another world possible. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?
And the flyer went on to read:

What caused the tragedy in “this state”?

It was reported in the Times and the Post Wednesday:

The killer had been taking anti-depressants.

All too often in the present age, we hear the tragic news of a senseless massacre somewhere in the country. Experience has shown, that the killer has almost always, if not absolutely always, been someone who had been prescribed anti-depressants.

The killers with names were kids who had been prescribed the anti-depressant ritalin.
The man who shot someone at this place had been prescribed an anti-depressant whose classic symptom is extreme rage directed at one specific person. The killers in the recent massacres in three different states, also one in another state, had been taking various prescription anti depressants.

Pharmaceutical drugs are prescribed, not as a last resort but as a first thought, not hesitantly but hastily and with excess. They are not properly used, but abused, with no thought of the side effects of taking chemicals which nature did not produce and evolution did not plan for us to be subjected to, like bug spray or insecticide. And this is not a small and isolated phenomenon, but rather a deliberate and systematic poisoning of the bodies and minds of the American people, on an epidemic scale.

The concentration of power, Mr. Moneybags, the State, which controls the American military-industrial complex and the pharmaceutical chemical companies that are an integral part of that system, the State, which, as Eisenhower warned, would one day gain undue influence and endanger our Liberties, has an interest in promoting this epidemic scourge of prescription drug use. Hundreds of billions of dollars a year, are made by the corporations that sell these drugs. It is big business. In addition, the State which experience has shown, for thousands of years all over the globe, tends to want to empower itself and dis-empower the People, gets exactly that benefit from this epidemic of drug use. Power and authority, competency and incompetency breeds corruption. It dis-empowers individuals by making them unhealthy. And it dis-empowers the community and the nation, by making people distrustful of each other; by making people think that their neighbor is a crazy person who they must be protected from; by persuading the People to accept, even to demand, increased police power of the State to protect them. Under such conditions even the will to independence vanishes.

The innovations of scientists and engineers are stolen and subverted by the concentrations of power; a virtue has become a vice, and chemical technology, which can and of right ought to be a liberating force in society, becomes enslaving.

Doctors are encouraged, by the drug industry, to prescribe artificial drugs to their patients. It is a regular practice, for the drug companies to pay a doctor a fee every time that doctor prescribes one of their drugs. It is no secret. In this way, the basic essential character of the American medical profession becomes one of conflict of interest.

The companies that make these drugs exert a great deal of pressure upon the mass media. There are huge advertising contracts, and there is an overlap of ownership between the drug companies and the media companies. The fact that a mass murderer was taking prescription drugs, is one of those things that will show up once in the newspapers, but is immediately and finally buried, and mum becomes the word.

There have been a thousand analyses of the killer in papers, of his history, his personality, his psychological problems; there have been a thousand demands for increased police powers; there have been a thousand calls for the outlawing of guns, and a general de-clawing of the People. But has anyone asked, how is it that society produces so many sick people?

Prescription anti-depressants are known to be a common cause of suicide; they are known to be a constant presence in senseless massacres. Surely the number of individual murders caused by these drugs must be many times greater than the number of massacres. And if there are so many suicides and murders, how many people taking pharmaceuticals must be gravely suffering, but have not quite yet arrived at the point of suicide or murder?

This epidemic of drug use, this deliberate poisoning of the bodies and minds of the American people, this deliberate, and thus far largely successful, did-empowerment of the American people, must stop. It is our purpose to reveal this truth to the American people, so that we may once again live in a sane and healthy society and the tragic deaths of so many good people in this State shall not have been in vain.

Halloween Time

Hey bloggers, okay, it’s barely almost that Halloween time of year again yet, as that day of the dead coming to life is still a few weeks away and already those parties, events and invites are starting to roll in. And that day can be the coolest day and night of year sometimes for some reason, as everyone can be who they really want to be, maybe. And this following event is a cool one for the Metropolis Apocalypse as follows:

Metropolis Apocalypse – L.E.S. Riot Era: Artists 1988-2008 will be held from October 9-October 31, Hallowe’en Night 2008 at Supreme Trading in Williamsburg Brooklyn.

Twenty years after the Tompkins Square Park Riots, which opened the eyes of the world to the class struggle taking place on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the public mind has somehow lost its sense of history. Where artists formerly reigned whose work literally assaulted the senses, New York has increasingly catered to the rich, and its artistic landscape has fallen prey to a culture of convention.

METROPOLIS APOCALYPSE (L. E. S. Riot Era Artists 1988-2008), in commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of the Tompkins Square Park Riots, reflects the continuing struggle against gentrification spearheaded by a generation of artists and musicians on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, where today, many of the things Riot artists warned of have come to pass.

Metropolis Apocalypse is an ongoing series of shows, culminated by a night of multimedia and musical performances dedicated to Artstar and punk luminary Jackie Breyer P-Orridge, presented by Genesis P-Orridge of Psychic TV.

In the spirit of Squat Or Rot and the Beer Olympics, showcases held throughout this three week long event will span a generation of music as cutting edge.In assembling artists for this show, Johnny V called upon a generation of experience as both artist and curator, musician and promoter.

Artists included are: Ron English, Genisis P-Orridge (of Psychic TV), Kevin FA-Q, Renna Zimmer, Thom Corn, Dianne Bowen, Morrie Cramer, Tony Wells, Clayton Patterson, Michael Roman, Linus Coraggio, Toyo Tsuchiya (Rivington School), Shalom Neuman, Bob Barry, John John Jesse (Nausea), Lauren Utter,Victor Dominicis, Bob Griffith, AaRON Thompson (les nyc art), James Romberger, Margeuritte Van Cook, Crosby Romberger, Peter Missing, Rupi Wegener, Agni Zotis, PondScum (Marvel Comics), Victor Poison Tete (Rat At Rat R), Paulo Pelosini, Leah Tinari, Greg Blaylock, Chris Herbeck, Robert Fredrich, Chris Coffey, Paula Rossi, Ed Reicker (Fester), Glenn Cherney, Ned Lindsay, Dennis YI, AaRon Sinift, Mac MaGill, FLY, Seth Tobacman ,Stephen Blickenstaff, Dr. Zian Saxon, Lawrence Van Abbema, Pat Attak, Tim McVicker, Shawn McVicker, Chris Caggiano (Iconicide), JohnnyV, Tony Wells, John Nikolai, Jason Ryan, Aurora Nocturnal, Pat Moreta, Catlin Fennelly, Cheryl Smith, John Czop (Marvel Comics), Brett Kahler, Jeniferocity, M. Apparition, Paul Garrin, Julian (Snake Thrower), Jason Mitchell, Brian Trash, Eric AnderER, Rob Erhler, Rupert Picott, Stephen Ritterspoon, Elena DeRosa, Mo Browne, Lori Lamson, Martha Mcdonald, Tony Santana, Amy Toxic, Loren Marks, Surreal Hazard, Plus more special guests to be announced.

METROPOLIS APOCALYPSE MUSIC SCHEDULE:

DAVID HUBERMAN, VICTOR POISON TETE, MAC McGILL, FLY, JENNIFER BLOWDRYER, PROFESSOR LOUIE, CROSBY ROMBERGER, PETER MISSING, DAVID PEEL, GENESIS BREYER P-ORRIDGE and more.

Happy impending All Hallows Eve.

Bailout Blues

And that bailout blues that is in the news a lot lately and on this day not only has me wondering if it is the beginning of the end of the economy and if the soup lines are now for everyone. It also has me to wondering if it is the beginning of the end of the world when I see those 777 numbers pop up on that Wall Street Dow Jones Stock Exchange board as being the biggest drop in the stock market exchange ever, that just so happens to coincide with the elections and the changing of office in that country of Amerika, I mean America. And then my religious fanaticism thoughts start to wander again as I have always thought every so often if this number has something to do with the Armageddon, the Apocalypse, doomsday, World War III and all things end of the world, as I see it having something to do with that 666 and the Antichrist save no man that he may buy or sell except that he have the mark of the beast thing being a hundred years later, 777 being completion and the number of God, Yahweh, Jehovah. And does that 777 number mean anything. And then what about 888, then 999 or 101010. Is there a prophet out there with an answer for this. Does that Internet bible dictionary Wikipedia have an entry for this? And maybe I should read that Aleister Crowley witchcraft 777 sacred numbers of God and the church And Other Qabalistic Writings book to see what that all means. And so I thought to post the the following posts that are some postings that I posted a while ago on this blog in my religious fanaticism thoughts in relation that 777 and other end of the world things…

Hey Bloggers, Lo and Behold. Today is 777. July 7, 2007. This day must be significant because I see it in the headlines everywhere today with the title “What does this date mean?” The Yahoo homepage says today is a special date for weddings and love and that a record number of couples will wed today because of the date’s alleged power. The MSN homepage says today you can watch the Live Earth global concerts for global warming and climate crisis awareness. What does 777 mean? Well, I have a bunch of wild guesses that it means 7, the number of completion, a holy number of God, the opposite of 666 with its dark meaning of Satan and the Antichrist. Astrologers may be having a field day with this number also. According to The Secret Language of Birthdays book, July seventh is the day of imaginative revelations. The zodiac sign Cancer. Revelations is a recurrent theme in the lives of July 7 people. So maybe it could have something to do with the book of Revelations and the end of the world? Those born on the seventh day of this month are ruled by the number 7 and by the planet Neptune, a watery planet. Is water related somehow, maybe as a blessing? The 7th card of the Major Arcana is the Chariot. Not sure what to make of that, maybe Christ in his chariot returns. What does the Wikipedia say, do they have an entry for this, what do the prophets say, do they have a prophecy for this? I must look to somewhere else to find the meaning of this day. Oh, I see something there now. The numbers 07.07.07 read upside down reads LO,LO,LO! Or OLLO, AL-OZ,Allah,OLOZ,0102,Yahweh,Jehova,JHVH, YHVH,YHWH,yoga,12.21.2012,part of the trinity. Lo and Behold. That is one of the secret meanings of the yoga guy pictured above. He depicts the progression of humanity and he is a recurrent theme to be interpreted in many ways that I like to use. Have a great 07/07/07 day.

And this other one…..

Now this is an interesting story. As I was getting my daily dose of world news today of all the daily atrocities of the world that are too innumerable to mention, enough cacophony and anomaly of atrocities on a daily basis to make me think that is the beginning of the end and then to turn off the news and pretend that none of the horrible news of the day stories exists in this information overload technological world we live in these days, I came across this headline: “Russians Wait For The End Of The World”. Hugh? Gog and Magog, what does it mean? And now my Armageddon, Apocalyptic, religious fanaticism thoughts start coming to mind again. Is this one of those top ten prophetic signs of the end of the world? Are Doomsday, Nostradamus, the Anti Christ, Jesus, World War III and the apocalypse on their way now? And this article went on to say something about that these people see the commercialization of the church, tax identification numbers and passports as the apocalyptic sign of the beast and do not go to school, watch television, listen to radio or handle money. They believe in spiritual and moral education. Now that’s interesting. Are these people the chosen ones? Who is to decide what is normal and what is not. This is yet one more story to be followed in the news today and tomorrow. And with that thought in mind, what’s that “Leonid meteor shower to peak this weekend” thing all about? How will the satellites fare in the sky? Will stars and angels fall out of the sky? Is this the dragon, that serpent of the sky whose seven heads and tail cast stars to the earth in Revelations or something? Is that constellation of shooting stars and angels going to be cast down to earth during that war in heaven? Is this a sign of the coming of the Messiah? Is Babylon falling? Is that some prophecy sign in heaven written in the stars also. Did Nostradamus predict this comet also? What exactly does that Leonid meteor shower mean, anything? Now maybe about this leonid meteor shower being a heavenly sign thing that I just came across, I may have been on the computer too long today and maybe it is time for me to turn it off and pretend I do not read the news in my religious and now astrological fanaticism. Does this Leonid meteor shower thing have to to do with that Pluto now being in Sagittarius galactic core season of change thing I wrote about a few blog postings ago? And what kind of season of change does this mean? According to that Leonid Meteor site above, Saturn the Great Millennial Sabbath, the Messianic planet and the grim reaper and his sickle may be near, if you believe.:

The Signs and the Seasons

In the month of May, 2000, we saw Saturn entering the sign of Taurus, the Bull. Seven years from that time, in 2007 A.D., Saturn – the “Messianic” planet — will enter the sign of Leo, the Lion – the Messianic Sign! In the year 2007 Saturn will begin to enter Leo, the Lion, and will also move through a conjunction with Regulus, the king star, between the feet of Leo, as the Hebrew calendar approaches Rash Hashanah.
Over the next seven years, from 2000 to 2007, Saturn will travel through the constellations that tell the story of the wrath of God being poured out upon an unbelieving world. That would be Taurus, the coming Judge; Gemini, which in ancient zodiacs tells the story of the Bridegroom and his bride; Cancer, the symbol of resurrection; and Leo, the lion pouncing on Hydra, a many-headed serpent. These constellations along with their sidereal sidepieces tell the story of the second advent of Jesus Christ”……The One with the sickle, who will harvest the earth, is Yeshua the Messiah — Leo the Lion, the “Lion of the tribe of Judah”! Now that’s really interesting. And if it is the beginning of the end, will there be a tomorrow to follow this story. No one is free while others are oppressed. Is another world possible? What does this all mean? Lo and behold the yoga guy in the photo above. The yoga guy depicts the progression of humanity. And here is one of many secrets about the yoga guy above. A-L=12, halfway through the alphabet, O-Z=12, halfway through the alphabet. ALOZ, ALLAH. 12.21.2012, 0102. OLOZ, AL-OZ, ALOZ, ALLAH. M and N the middle of the alphabet = the Millennium, the head of Christ, Grist, the Holy Grail, The Holy Ghost, a thousand years shall Satan be let loose? (Yahweh,Yeshua,Jehovah,JHVH,YHVH,YHWH, YOGA), part of the trinity. Watch and be ready. If you believe. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?

An Art Opening


And today is that Sunday day time of the week again, that day of the sun, sabbath day of rest, or is that Saturday? And yet I find myself blah blogging away on this blog for some reason. And so someone actually did send me a few photos of that art event I found myself blogging about just yesterday on this blog. And that person was a guy named Ves who sent me those photos from above, as this art event was one of those times that I did not find myself dragging that camera out of the closet, whose only purpose seems to be to collect dust these days. And those photos above are from Leo’s Art Opening the other night in Dumbo, that neighborhood in Brooklyn in that City of New York where every other person seems as if they are an artist of some sort. And those photos above are of these two people dressed up in their art installation which seemed to be themselves, sitting on I guess Leo’s bed. And they were a colorful art installation indeed. And that art event was from the Leo Kuelbs Collection, titled “Space Within Space”, New Sculpture and Installations at “dumbo art under the bridge festival”, Opening Party with work by ON megumi Akiyoshi, OLEK, Thomas Lendvai, Christy Singleton, Adriana Varella, Nilton Maltz, Andrew Eustler and Chris Herbeck. And his art events rock and are usually a great excuse for me to go see cool artwork. Have a great art day.

Follow Me

And so I asked this guy at this art opening the other day, “Hey, do you have a camera on your cell phone that you can take a picture of that cool art installation with?”, and his reply was “No, I don’t. All of those new cell phones have that GPS, Global Positioning System thing on them and the government, or Big Brother or someone can track you with it. They can actually turn on your cell phone and listen to your conversation. So I just have one of these older model cell phones without the camera.” Now that was a scary reply to me that I have never thought of or considered. The idea that Big Brother could be watching you and following your every move through your own cell phone, as if it could be some sort of scene from that Eagle Eye movie. And are those gps devices the new modern form of big brother spying on civilization and society. Is this the newest Jetsons space age version of George Orwell’s 1984 Winston Smith character and his telescreen that can talk to him. Are these global positioning system things that are to be found in just about every other electronic device these days really helpful for things other than getting lost and other reasons. And whatever happened to that good old fashioned road map. And maybe I am just still stuck in the stone age or something and have not yet advanced to Kali Yuga and her Iron Age. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State?

Here On Earth

And so I find myself blogging again on this blog, wondering what to blog about simply because I started this blog to blah blog every so often. And if seems as if this world is spinning out of control, and was it ever in control I am not sure, when the Yahoo Headlines read “Mom admits to helping son build weapons cache, and gunman kills many at a school, then self”. And it is enough to have one leery of going to school for fear of gun violence these days and times. Is it 2012 and Kali Yuga on track, this world we live in these days. And what would that National Rifle Association have to say about this. And in other thoughts, most of the news seems to be all about the national economy being in debt, debt and more debt and tanking and going downhill these days, all during the elections and the changing of those White House office workers. And for what reason is that place called the white house anyway. That could be a whole another blog posting. And there is becoming so much of a national debt that even the Federal Reserve and Treasury are starting to have difficulty printing up enough money to cover it all. And is this the beginning of one of those depression recessions. Maybe one can squat the world and dumpster dive for free food durint these times. Maybe if everyone needs a home, they could take one now, maybe. Maybe alternative ways of living free from oppression can be considered now, maybe. Maybe another world is possible, where people can be free to live off the land. Whose idea is it that the land is for sale anyway. Housing and shelter, a basic necessity of human life. And for some reason that bible verse comes to mind, “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows”. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State? Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.
