No Police State Girl's blog is about everything No Police State and other random thoughts; music, art, fashion, lifestyle, technology, politics, the environment, saving the world and whatever else comes to mind.
In trying to combine the police state of New York City, where I think there’s one polizei for every fifteen people, with that Rage Against The War Machine anti -war rally event that happened in Washington D.C. this past weekend, I have decided to call the title of this blagh post “Rage Against The Police State”.
And I know that Libertarian Party, People’s Party Rage Against The War Machine event happened in Washington D.C. this past weekend because this short compilation of speakers video from the Rage Against the War Machine anti – war rally in Washington D.C. with speakers Max Blumenthal, Jimmy Dore, Gerald Celente, Dennis Kucinich, Tulsi Gabbard and Ron Paul and this video that East Ghost Reports or NJEG Media made says so. And according to that Rage Against The War Machine website, Cynthia McKinney, Scott Horton, ChrisHedges, Kim Iversen, Daniel McAdams, Garland Nixon, Jackson Hinkle, Anya Parampil, Ann Wright, David Swanson, Tara Reade, Diane Sare, DanMcKnight, Jill Stein, Craig “Pasta” Jardula, Wyatt Reed, and Dan Cohen were speakers also.
‘Join us at the Lincoln Memorial on February 19 to rally against US funding for the Ukraine war.’….. That gog and magog war.
And then there was that World Wide Rally For Freedom NEW YORK NEW YORK CITY TOGETHER, WE ARE FREE. 18TH OF FEBRUARY, 2023. PFIZER WORLD HEADQUARTERS. 235 EAST 42ND STREET. 12PM. #WewillALLbethere event that came to pass also where people gathered outside Pfizer’s Headquarters in New York City to protest against medical tyranny and where Kozi-19 koziswellness sang his “I’m unvaccinated I ain’t showing you my papers!” song.
And then if I can continue to rage against the police state of this past week in that city of New York, there is this “Seen while attempting to vend Black Lives Matter jewelry at Washington Square Park. NYC Parks Department police tell me to remove my price sign then proceed to hand out tickets and shut down every other vendor at Washington Square Park video that I posted on my twitter page. No wonder Leeroy Press has been posting all of those Viral News NY videos of people getting arrested at police state Washington Square Park in New York City this past summer.
And that’s not even counting the subway fare beating scenarios I witnessed by the New York City Transit MTA of someone getting subway summonses or getting arrested seemingly every time I pass by that 14th Street and 8th Avenue subway station trying to get to the park. Dear New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority, could you please make the subway and transit fare free and stop giving out tickets and arresting everyone who don’t pay their fare? I don’t think hardly anyone pays their fare anymore for the subway, at least that’s what Decolonize This Place thinks.
And what, if anything, do these events in the past week in that New York City area have to do with a police state. We are living in crazy times. Have a great Revelations, gog and magog, great reset, new world order, apocalypse, antichrist, mark of the beast system day.
It was also an attempt to have a MoRUS Fly & Carla Holiday Art Market on the coldest day in New York City in three years at the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space, that radical history museum that finds itself in that City of New York, where I attempted to vend that Black Lives Matter jewelry, those Tompkins Square Park T – Shirt ‘s with Fly Orr and lots of Fly hand stamped holiday cards and more. And if I could just copy and paste that MORUS mailing list information for this holiday market and other events at morus, because hey, it’s less writing sometimes… And that Bill TIME’S UP events mailing list would read something like as follows:
Join us at a Rally to save CHARAS/El Bohio Community Center
CHARAS has served the Lower East Side for over 20 years, providing artists space, educational programs, and meeting space for countless neighborhood organizations. For the past 21 years, a coalition of community organizations have fought to landmark the building, enforce the use restriction, and return the building to community use. The developer is now in foreclosure and it is time to return CHARAS to the community!
‘STOP THE INVASION! An Exhibit of Artists Protesting the Russian Invasion of Ukraine
pop up show Thursday,Friday, and Saturday DEC 22,23,24
At the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space- 155 Ave C, , NYC.
Free / Suggested Donations strongly recommended to benefit charities helping people in Ukraine.
Seth Tobocman and Tamara Wyndham are co-curators of this International art show condemning the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. This is a travelling exhibit which was first shown in New York at the First Presbyterian Church on 12th Street and then again at the Unitarian Church of Staten Island.
This art show includes artists holding many different political and philosophical beliefs, working in different styles, from graphic novels to photo-journalism, from Fusionism to fashion design, and more abstract pieces. The artists come from many different countries including Ukraine, Russia, Italy, France, the UK, the USA, Israel, and Palestine.
The purpose of the show is to demonstrate that all over the world, people of good conscience condemn this invasion.
This art show originated with artists sending each other jpegs that were printed and shown in numerous locations around the world — so that this exhibit has had various manifestations. Versions of this exhibition have been shown so far, in Manhattan, Staten Island, Prague, Berlin, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yerevan-Armenia, Paris-France, Easton-PA, and Miami-Arizona.

The holidays are upon us again this year as I type this blagh post here on planet earth in an attempt to maintain web 2.0 user generated content for this blagh and my other blagh whenever blaghers block possible.
And in other rambling thoughts again, for whoever may be reading this blagh, in the midst of battling Murphy’s Law, It was an attempt to vend Union Square Park, Washington Square Park and Tompkins Square Park T – Shirts for $10 each and #blacklivesmatter #S#!tJustGotReal #notmypresident #nopolicestate #occupywallstreet #yoga #morus #theshadow #squat #tompkinssquarepark #unionsquarepark #washingtonsquarepark #eastvillage #lowereastside #brooklyn & #iloveny necklaces, magnets, key chains & pins for $2 each at the Union Square Holiday Market, that cool holiday market in Union Square Park in New York City whose website reads something like:
“Named one of the best holiday markets in the entire United States, the Union Square Holiday Market welcomes 185 vendors featuring unique gifts created by local craftsmen, artists, and entrepreneurs. We are looking forward to an incredible 2022 Holiday season! See you in the market.”

And those above event descriptions are just a few of the words that I have come across on morus’s Facebook page for their 10th Anniversary party that Bill, a co founder of morus, who is also the founder of Time’s Up! , and volunteers, seem to single handedly put on,
And in between battling murphy’s law and not being able to actually make it to any of these above events, and reading world news of the day , this blog post is yet another attempt to maintain web 2.0 user generated content whenever blaghers block possible.
With a full schedule of programming at neighborhood community gardens East Side Outside Garden, First Street Garden, Green Oasis Community Garden, La Plaza Cultural and Le Petit Versailles as well.
And then it was the lakes and parks of Sussex County and Buttermilk Falls in Stokes State Forest near the Delaware Water Gap where I found myself in search of New Jersey’s highest waterfall.
And as a result of going to that Zine Fair in that city of New York and that waterfall in that state of New Jersey, I found mself taking a bunch of photns and wind up posting them on this blog in an attempt to maintain web 2.0 user generated content for this blog and my other blagh whenever possible because, hey, it’s less writing sometimes.
This blog post isn’t really so much about Canada truckers and the Freedom Convoy It’s just that Canada and its freedom from virus tyranny has been in the news so much lately that I thought to put it in this blog post title.
Every picture tells a story and some stories do not end as you expect. The only thing constant is change. And so this is yet another blagh post that I find myself blogging somewhere in between reading about those Canada Freedom Convoy 2022 Trucker convoys in Canada that have spawned other Freedon Convoys around the world, a possibly impending World War three Ukranian war and other headline news ot the day, most related to that plannedemic new world order and a cashless society and tribulations virus that still finds itself here with us on planet earth seemingly three years later after if first appeared for its “two weeks to slow down the spread”, and also still finding myself attempting to go to those New York Freedom Rallies whenever possible. #wewillallbethere, or at least try to be there, and also making a couple of “Cooking Wit Carrie” videos somewhere in between.
And so I found myself on another one of those road trips to Florida, that seemingly free from virus tyranny state of St. Augustine, Anastasia State Park, Hollywood, Miami, Florida Keys, Key West and back. And it was also an attempt to vend I Love Florida necklaces, key chains, magnets and pins for $2 each along the wayside at Art Deco Weekend in South Miami Beach, Duval Street in Key West and Bayfront Marketplace for one quick second in Florida during this trip, as in some of those photos that find themselves posted above. And to those good samaritans of Florida who bought out my tray at Art Deco Weekend in Miami Beach and asked me to give the jewelry away. Thank you.
In Key West there is that mile 0, 7 mile bridge and roosters are everywhere with some of these Florida tourist and sightseeing attractions being St. Augustine Beach, Hollywood Beach, Dania Beach Casino, Hard Rock Casino, Miami Beach, The shops at Mallory Square and Duval Street and that southern most point 90 miles to Cuba historical marker in Key West, Alligator Farms, The Everglades, Miami Boat Tours in Bayfront Marketplace that seem to come along with scammy Miami Aqua Tour people taking fraudulanet $20 photos of you before you booard their tour boat to Biscaye Bay to admire thie homes of the rich and famous, and it was also the land of the Bible belt of the south and Jesus Saves billboards, Flying J’s, Loves and Pilot truck stops, welcome centers, rest stops and campgrounds along the way. #vanlife #rvlife #beachlife
And it was also an attempt to vend those I Will Not Comply and Have you tried the magnet challenge? Free jewelry if you are magnetic necklaces, magnets, key chains and pins for $2 each at the Washington Monument during that Defeat The Mandate, An American Homecoming at the Lincoln Memorial that has since come to pass in Washington D.C. January 23rd, with #FJB and Let’s Go Brandon flags being sold everywhere and according to Children’s Health Defense website, speakers were Robert F. Kennedy Jr., JP Sears, Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Peter McCullough, Del Bigtree, Kevin Jenkins, Dr. Christina Parks, Tricia Lindsey, Dr. Paul Alexander, Rizza Islam, Rabbi Zeb Epstein, Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Paul Marik, Dr. Tess Lawrie, Tramell Thompson, Dr. Ryan Cole, Dr. Jessica Rose, Kwame Brown, Angela Stanton King, Max Blumenthal, Jo Rose, Will Witt, Steve Kirsch, Dr. Angelina Farella, Hawk Newsome, Rev. Aaron Lewis, Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, Dr. Richard Urso, Trahern Crews, Chris Martenson, Lara Logan, Maureen Mcdonnell, Ernest Ramirez, Stephanie De Garay, Kyle Warner, Jayla Taveras, Hi – Rez & Jimmy Levy, Joseph Arthur, Matt Brevner and Five Times August. With sponsors being Freedom of Choice, American Frontline Nurses, Airline Employees For Health Freedom and Feds For Medical Freedom.
City workers marched across the Brooklyn Bridge February 7th, 2022. February 11th is the deadline to get the shot or they will lose their jobs. There is a Ferry To Freedom Rally February 11. 0900 roll call. March on City Hall to demand an end to covid – 19 mandates. Sponsored by Bravest for Choice. And it was also seen while vending Black Lives Matter jewelry at Union Square Park an #fjb Lets Go Brandon flag after a Bravest For Choice Ferry To Freedom Rally yesterday.
And big tech and social media are still helping to bring in Agenda 2030 Georgia Guidestones and the satanic new world order mark of the beast system is censoring anything that goes against the vaccine narrative. END CCP. Free Leeroy Press. And there is a Natural News video that I came across in my internet travels titled Ghost World 2022-2032 – Chapter 1 – The Die-Off with a description that reads, “Our world is being transformed into a Ghost World due to vaccine bioweapons causing mass death over the next decade…. here’s how to survive the global collapse that may see HALF the human beings on planet earth:. Which basically has something to do with I think, the satanic globalists elites wanting to kill us all off by the year 2030 in the name of a virus because the world is too populated. The Georgia Guidestones genocide thing, or maybe the Global depopulation Agenda 2030 thing. Or maybe it’s cyborgs and transhumanism and phasing out humanity and turning everyone into robots powered by 5g weapons and a zombievax apocalypse and a host of other conspiracy theories that seem to be coming true right before our very eyes.
And this never ending until what seems like the return of Jesus Christ virus has become vaccine segregation, a social credit score system, a war, the vaccinated vs the unvaccinated. The stand alone sit ins at vaxxed only venues in the New York City area still seem to be happening and the Freedom Convoys, a mobilizatoin of truckers to restore our freedom are still going strong as I type this blog post, with images of the convoys which have now spread around the world inspired by Canada. And there is a Convoy To Save America Flyer in support of Truckers For Freedom that has appeared on New York Freedom Rally’s Facebook page on this day as well and a NYC stands with Ottawa Canada rally outside of the Canadian Consulate in NYC a week later as I update this blog post as well also. Is another world possible. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a no police state
New year 2022 and old year 2021 on sandy beach with waves
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act”. – George Orwell, or someone else said that.
It’s the end of that Gregorian calendar year as I type this blog post. And I find myself typing another one of those end of the year 2021 and beginning of a new year 2022 blagh posts again.. And when the holy dayze are upon us I usually try to type something cheerful, blissful and upbeat. But not this year again, as that killer virus that still finds itself here on planet earth is entering year number three with no end in sight and we are still living in crazy times.
And so this is an attempt to I guess go back in time to revisit some of those events that have since passed since I last posted those New York Freedom Rally events on this blog. With some of the text to those photos and events in the New York City area of lately that find themselves posted above being as follows:

19. Sunday, December 5th. 2021. Rally For Medical Freedom. March to the Australian Consulate, New York City, in support of the Australian people.
And some other rambling thoughts to those photos that find themselves posted above being….
Someone said that the New York Police Department showed up with LRAD’s, those sound cannon things that disperse riots, during that Applebee’s sit – in at Queens Center Mall,
And apparently COVID spelled backwards is DIVOC, the devil, To deceive, divorce. To be possessed with demons. The microchip mark of the beast. And the letters of omicron scrambled equals moronic.
And for some reason all of those bioweapon biowarfare virus variants seem to be named after 5G tech. ie; Delta, Omicron. #stop5g .
.
The Mayan calendar has ended and that 12.21.2012 year seems as if it was supposed to be 12.21.21, 8 years off. And it is actually the day of Christ as I type part of this blog post here in America. I Will Not Comply. We Will Not Comply. The only thng constant is change and some stories do not end as you expect. Baby London, Babylon has fallen And what, if anything, does this have to do with a no police state. Happy end of the Gregorian calendar year day.
–The place was martiallawville two thousand and one and everywhere I looked I saw people with guns standing on the corner in uniforms full of torture devices for if you stray from the norm they’ll stop you over here and they’ll stop you over there they’ll stop you anywhere and they won’t even care as they shake you down and throw you on the ground put their foot on you and then kick you around they’ll punch you and they’ll beat you till you’re almost dead I couldn’t take it no more and so I said No Police State. yeah, that’s right, no policy state. I screamed No Police State. No Police State.
And so, I left the street and then I went to the store but as I walked through the metal detector I could not get through because this man at the door in a uniform called security with a criminal record worser than you and me he took my bags and my belongings too and he said the words we are surveiling you with plain clothes spies and close circuit cameras inspection devices and ten way mirrors and so I started shopping from aisle to aisle but I could hear them all the while they murmured, they whispered and then they said come with us your time is at hand to be mocked, scourged, tried, tempted and afflicted and crucified and persecuted in this wilderness I said to them deliver me I did not do a thing they said I did and that was it and so I screamed No Police State. yeah, that’s right, no policy state I screamed No Police State. No Police State.
And so, I went home and I felt secure until the evil knocked at my door it was a legion of men it was an army and they called themselves the authority who were concerned for my safety so they said to me can we see some ID to use against you as you will see our king he owns the land and he even owns you so this is what we’re gonna do they trashed my place, they tore it upside down they took everything and then they threw it around then they wanted to put me under their care cause it looked like I could not take care of my affairs so I took no further thought for what I was gonna say cause they were gonna search and seize me anyway and so I screamed, No Police State yeah that’s right, no policy state I screamed No Police State. No Police State.
And so I found myself attempting to sing part of that above No Police State Song at another one of Chris Flash’s The Shadow and Iconicide’s 2016 Tompkins Square Riot Reunion concert in Tompkins Square Park the other day, which was actually about a week ago, as it was that concert time of year again. And it was mostly a punk rock concert with a few other speakers like Paul DeRienzo, Jerry Trudell, Warcry Priya and Father Patrick Moloney thrown in. And I vended those DecorForU #blacklivesmatter, #occupywallstreet, #berniesanders and #theshadow necklaces, magnets and key chains for $1 each alongside those The Shadow t shirts and other merchandise as well. And the Facebook event invite for that 2016 Tompkins Square Riot Reunion concert read something like:
TWENTY EIGHT YEARS AGO
The environment in NYC, and especially AlphaBet City and surrounding areas, was drastically different. The city had made it clear, its underclasses were to be disowned. Tent Cities had sprung up in local parks. Warehoused and abandoned buildings were siezed and turned into squats by neighborhood residents who had had enough with the empty myth of Upward Mobility and Trickledown Economics. People carved out livings for themselves, however spartan, to a degree and scope that today would be seen as unfathomable.
It was “necessary,” then, for the city to at once save face, and to punish such outright acts of autonomy. And so, after a “mini riot” staged by the NYPD in order to gauge public opinion, the full force of the Men in Blue was let loose on denizens of Tompkins Square Park, who had commited the unforgivable crime of having nowhere else to go, and, by default, on every human being found out past an arbitrary midnight curfew.
The tidal wave of subsequent complaints against the 9th Precinct, who had conscripted personnel from other precincts throughout the city, pale in comparison the the actual bloodshed of that long, hot night. Police on foot, on horseback, and in helicopters descended on the homeless, on visitors to the area, and on those who had just stepped out for some fresh air, Batons were swung, bones were broken, and many were bloodied by individuals who feared no reprisals for their actions, because their badges and identification had been blacked out. Imagine a sea of faceless blue berserkers, issued a simple order to use whatever force deemed necessary to cleanse the late night city streets, and you will only come close to the reality.
The Tompkins Square Park Police Riots were but one in a series of falling dominoes in a process of econimic and cultural whitewashing, which continues, in earnest, to this day. The shortsighted will say, what else is new; neighborhoods always change. But this change is far from organic. When an invading “culture” displaces the life’s blood of a formerly vibrant, inclusive and diverse community, it is nothing short of an act of War.
COME ON DOWN to Tompkins Square Park on August 6th and 7th, and shake hands with the ghosts of those who bled on these streets, and with those who STILL will not be moved.

Hey again bloggers or whoever could be reading this blagh. And so along with what seems like the remnants of hurricane Joaquin the other day, in the midst of Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter and beyond, there was another March to Shut Down Rikers Island that was held rain, hurricane or shine in that city of New York on that Island of Queens, at the foot of the bridge leading to Rikers Island. And I guess those photos and videos from that event that day that find themselves posted above can speak for themselves. And that March to Shut Down Rikers Island Facebook event invite for this event read something like:
3pm meet-up in front of the Rikers Island sign, followed by a speak out, march, and more! Bring your voice, banners, friends, and family. All are invited to speak about their experiences.
Directions: Q100 bus to the Rikers Island sign (right before the bridge) at the intersection of 19 Ave. & Hazen St. in Queens, from one of the following subway stations: (N/Q) Astoria-Ditmars Blvd, (F) 21 St- Queensbridge, (E/M/R) Queens Plaza, or (G) Court Square.
Contact us to get involved with planning and outreach.
___________________________
WE DEMAND AN END TO TORTURE IN NYC!
Rikers Island is NYC’s Abu Ghraib, where individuals in need of care are instead caged, languishing both mentally and physically; a place where those suffering illnesses are tortured not treated, denying them the most basic of human rights.
WE DEMAND AN END TO CRIMINALIZING POVERTY!
Most people incarcerated on Rikers Island have not been convicted of a crime. They are unable to afford bail and awaiting their next court appearance and/or trial. NYC’s Tale of Two Cities forces the poor and innocent to endure a culture of violence, rape, and overall barbarism that no human should be subject to.
WE DEMAND AN END TO DECEPTIVE REFORMS!
Mayor de Blasio shows up for photo shoots in newly renovated portions of the jail complex, while most of it remains in a state of serious disrepair and deterioration. There are frequent sewage backups and water main breaks. The floors and ceilings are crumbling. The heating and ventilation systems don’t function properly. There are rotting showers, toilets, and sinks.
WE DEMAND AN END TO OPPRESSION!
NYC Department of Correction and the Correction Officers Benevolent Association have reaped the benefits of inequality and bloodshed for far too long. Too many lives, homes, and hearts have been destroyed so that a morally bankrupt system may flourish.
It’s been called “New York’s Abu Ghraib,” a combination torture chamber & concentration camp. After years of exposure, after lawsuits and decrees, horrors that shock the conscience continue unabated. In the country’s largest jail, lives are irreparably damaged every day.
As part of #RiseUpOctober, join in a non-violent direct action and protest to Shut Down Rikers Island. Sign up to be part of the action, or to provide support. Write: addmyvoice@riseupoctober.org
Also, take part in the national October 22 National Day of Protest to STOP Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation across the country: https://www.facebook.com/events/767581106685589/
And according to that NAACP photo posted above, “Welcome to America, home to 5% of the world’s people and 25% of the world’s prisoners. And Rikers Island is one of the ten worst prisons in America. And New York City is what a police state looks like. And Rikers Island is what a police state looks like. No one is free when others are oppressed. Is another world possible. And what does this have to do with a No Police State.
And if I must blogger say, FIGMENT NYC was awesome. And that ferry boat ride that one takes across the water to get to Governors Island and all of its art, art and more art, well that was even more awesome to see New York City and all of its harbor views. And those one hundred and more art projects and art installations, performances and more that found themselves on Governors Island on this Figment NYC day, well they were even more awesome. And so this Figmentevent seems as if it wants photos, photos and more photos and colors, colors and more colors to be added to this post. And so Occupy Art Show was at Figment on this day and some of those photos from this Occupy Art Show find themselves posted above. And even more photos from that Occupy Art Show and FIGMENT NYC on this day find themselves posted in my Occupy Art Show @ Figment NYC Facebook event invite. And the Occupy Wall Street People’s Puppets were there on this day also. And if I would have known that, I would have Occupy Wall Street People’s Puppets went over there to see their show also. And so Figment NYC has come to an end this past weekend. And with that, that Occupy Art Show @ Figment NYC has came to an end as well. And so Figment is off to San Diego, Boston, Toronto, Washington D.C. and even more cities as well in all its Figmentness. And on this day finds itself as Occupy Wall Street Day 997. And Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast, well sort of. Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Art Worldwide.
