“Don’t Let Me Get Me!” OWS Kabuki.

(1 pm. – promoted by ek hornbeck)

We need to talk. Seriously. I shit thee not.

The only thing really stopping you is you. You have choices you know. I mean, its almost ridiculous the notions we entertain in order to be “rational, contemplative” leftists; asking if every whack story out there has even a grain of truth.

Lets start with the media that you all claim to distrust if not despise, and how it works. I know its a 4 minute remedial course, but its going to be a fine jumping off spot for our conversation.

You know, the one: An anti-semite, a CIA color revolution plant and Democratic stategist walk into a bar, and ask the bartender which conspiracy cocktail is on special tonight…. and the bartender says…

(hat tip Ria for the video…)

Ok, c’mon into the kitchen and let me grab you a beer, or pour you an “and” (any drink with the word “and” in it), have a seat and lets get to it. Maybe, just maybe, since we all demonstrate for the free drugs according to Rush, I’ll even pack you a bowl of oregano or something… heh.  

“The OWS movement is full of Jew-hating anti-semites!”

I guess thats why hundreds of American Jews put up Sukkahs to support the movement. I think they are decidedly NOT anti-semites.

I’m sure you’ve heard it. I mean that is the first card they want to play; calling us racists or haters, especially when they used race as the fear-trigger to get any support at all for the Tea Party. Its what think tanks DO, by definition. Go for the gut-fear card. And the left is as susceptible to fear of being “perceived” as racist as the right is afraid of non-whites. One set will clutch their purse in an elevator when a Black man steps on board, the other will smile and make a point of saying “Hi” to a perfect stranger to prove they aren’t racist. (Me? I’m likely to say nothing and covertly check out his ass no matter what color he is; I may be old but I ain’t dead yet) Hey, this is a kitchen table talk right? I have to be honest with you.

Any time people gather, there will always be one dumb fuck among them.  So it is written, so it has been, and so it shall ever be. If one Nazi shows up, trust me there will be a Flat Earth Society member as well, and a Creationist and probably a long haired guy with “The End Is Near” on his sign.

Now, take a big fat hairy breath. I know you’ve seen a video or two, amazingly always posted by right-wing staunch zionists who love Netanyahu, or like Jennifer Fucking Rubin who proudly writes as a conservative who backs the Tea Bagger party and has a RIGHT-WING AGENDA to push.

This chick is of course, writes for The Jerusalem Post and has been trying to denigrate the whole movement because many Leftists (the primary core) are FOR an equitable solution with Palestine that treats them as, you know PEOPLE?

The difference being – the tea party was made up primarily of racists, and ows is not.

I’d rather listen to Jewish Voices for Peace who have strongly supported the movement rather than a person who writes for a right-wing Israeli paper as a staunch conservative. She was pro-tea party for fucks sakes, of course she is against a POPULIST movement.

These same images have been remixed in more than a few videos – but none are linear reporting, like have “rolling camera” continuity.

Would I put it past COINTELPRO to hire actors to make this short, then have people remix it and try to cut off one whole segment of the movement with a dog-whistle of fear?

Even if the haters HAVE shown up, they are obviously so fringe as to be negligible. One even showed up at the protest Louise attended in Prescott. Plant or no? Shunning him is the best option. Still?

Asking the OWS to renounce them is like asking the OWS to renounce the Flat Earth Society. Its fucking ridiculous to the point of laughable.

The movement is about thieves, criminals and gamblers who are raping us for their gain, period. If you are one of them, a criminal Wall Street type? We don’t care if you are Blue-Blooded English Royalty or a fine Jewish Rabbi, a Saudi Prince, or a Heinz 57 mutt. You are going down.

This is smoke and mirrors by the right friends.

Ignore both those who may show up, and refuse to DISCUSS it, less it derails the conversation. This discussion cannot and must not be focused on our own 1% following us like stray dogs with nowhere else to go. We have an Occupation, and a discussion to have.

Glad that part’s over. Its ugly, annoying and predictable. There are no “special” people in a Populist movement. Not for demonization, not for glory. And certainly not to be derailed by.

Now, lets talk about some real threats. I mean, there are ways they are going to try and co-opt this movement.  No, wait. First, in considering that idea, lets talk about how seriously we take it… and if we take it too far to the “Trust No One” Mulder zone, we can again, side track ourselves all to hell.  Because, having the PTB set directly against anything remotely left for so long has left us paranoid as fuck. Probably rightly so, but c’mon. Do you really think that the Elite Class set up this revolt in order to get a Government more complaint than the cocksuckers they have kneeling before them, begging for a turn to fellatio them already? What would be the point?

“This Is a Manufactured Revolution!”

Normally, I pretty much respect Michel Chossudovsky but sometimes in order to be cutting edge, or the only man alive that “gets” it, he does fucking Olympian mental gymnastics to get there. I mean, really?

Do you think that in order to make a manageable revolt, they started one, when the American People have basically been sheep? Its far more likely that they were a little blindsided by the reaction, and now are trying like hell to catch up and co-opt it. I mean, I heard about this Occupation months ago, and kinda rolled my eyes, thinking it would never happen. Me, the one who was dying for it to happen. Make it happen.  Its not like any one big thing motivated it either. It was like froggie-boil and we woke up once we saw one frog jump out of the pan.

Let me tell you a few fairly basic truths about “Color Revolutions.”

Its simple, really:

1 – If a leftist government is in charge when there is a revolution, you can be fairly sure the CIA is as deep in inciting rebellion.

2 – It a rightist government is in power during a revolution, you can bet equally that the CIA will infiltrate after the fact to try and co-opt or at least guide the rebellion in a direction that will allow people they want to obtain power thereafter.

he fact that Mubarak was removed and replaced with his Military cronies explains that – and the fact that the LEFTISTS on the street remain unsatisfied and are still protesting….

NOW IF? If there was a rising viable 3rd party candidate and they thought they were losing control? I might buy it.

But America is no Venezuela and Obama is no Chavez. This is certainly ONLY a #2 reaction.

   “In a bitter irony, part of the fraudulent financial gains on Wall Street in recent years have been recycled to the elites’ tax exempt foundations and charities. These windfall financial gains have not only been used to buy out politicians, they have also been channelled to NGOs, research institutes, community centres, church groups, environmentalists, alternative media, human rights groups, etc.

   The inner objective is to “manufacture dissent” and establish the boundaries of a “politically correct” opposition. In turn, many NGOs are infiltrated by informants often acting on behalf of western intelligence agencies. Moreover, an increasingly large segment of the progressive alternative news media on the internet has become dependent on funding from corporate foundations and charities.

   The objective of the corporate elites has been to fragment the people’s movement into a vast “do it yourself” mosaic.” (See Michel Chossudovsky, Manufacturing Dissent: the Anti-globalization Movement is Funded by the Corporate Elites, Global Research, September 20, 2010)

Sorry Michel – you missed the mark on this one, and if nothing else, you are hurting us by making us unnecessarily distrustful of our neighbors in the streets, and less willing to have the discussion than create how it moves forward.

Somehow, it reminded me of this image. Yes, Michel, you are the most interesting man in the world. Now shut up and OCCUPY.

LOL. I shouldn’t be mean. He’s a cool guy, but the pun was there….

Don’t let that get you, don’t let all this conspiracy shit block our emotions or distract our heads.

What we need to be heedful of is the very real threat of the second part I mentioned.

“OWS is Full of Infiltrators and Co-opters”

Now, I have a huge (innocent) new crush going with Bruce A Dixon of Black Agenda Report. He, along with my dear Addison DePitt/Patrice Greanville (ok, lets pour another drink, shall we? No, you’re not wasted yet, some of my friends have 2 names, dammit. I have no idea, just deal with it, he’s cool) are new mentors for me. I love smart people, kind people. People who “get” it.

Both men have mentioned and/or linked me to discussions about this, but Bruce’s partner Glen Ford nailed it pretty well. Obama and the Democratic operatives are going to try and use us, the OWS movement to get themselves and other members of the Party Machine elected.

Which is why we shouldn’t even give them notice when they try. Like the “End of the World” guys or the “ZOG” guy, lets all just turn our heads from the crazy fuckwit Democrats who believe that despite their coffers full of Wall Street monies, we think they are “for” us. Like we didn’t get that fact straight right after 08. Shit, the ones that think the Earth is Flat are more credible.  We will NOT be running away from our own interests to buy into “HOPE” in the form of “Democrats.”

Right Glen? Fuck Yeah!

The Democrats, who are as wedded to Wall Street money as the GOP, know full well that any significant crack in the “Black Wall” around Obama will mean defeat in 2012. And they are aware that historical Black progressivism and distrust of Power has been effectively short-circuited by the advent of the First Black President. That’s why African Americans are prime targets of the Democrats’ cooptation response, along with the heavily overlapping union constituency.

The goal, of course, is to keep the attentions of African Americans and unionists focused on the Republicans and their Tea Party annex, as opposed to Wall Street, with which the administration has been intimately entwined from day-one. Therefore, the Democrats are the most clear and present danger to the Occupation Movement, because their entire purpose is to negate the central message: that Wall Street controls both parties, all three branches of government, and most social discourse in the United States. Republicans growl on the sidelines about “mobs” and “anti-Americanism,” with little effect. But the Democrats aim to divert the movement into nonexistence, to reduce it to (warmed over) Obama groupies and snuff out its potential in the bud.

The ATTEMPT is a clear and present danger, only if we are dumbasses enough to go back to the codependent role of the abused spouses we once were. Fuck that, we’ve tasted Freedom and Autonomy. God knows, IDEAS are the most dangerous thing in the World and we HAVE them.

Sure, they will focus on things we believe: The tea-baggers are dangerous, the right is full of degenerate mentally and morally impaired exceptionalists – but so too are they, duh. Like Duh.

What we have to focus on more: INFILTRATION.

It is basic 101 in putting down revolts to frame them as mindless violent people who are just mentally impaired. To put people in to start the violence so they will have an excuse to use excess force to quell it.

It is also VERY common for the Elites to bribe the military/policia units to use excess force. This has happened already, though you won’t see it on MSNBC or on CNN. JP Morgan gave the NYPD 4.6 million the day they Entrapped them on the Bridge. A “friendly” donation, as it were….

Infiltrators will always be radical, controversial and get the most press, because the press is tipped off to them.

Trust sparingly, anyone who talks too much of impatience. Of trying to start something NOW. Who wants to blame a core section of the public divided by anything: Race, religion, etc…. It is an attempt to divide you.

Mistrust too, those who are calm, and weak, and say “This is the best we can do right now, lets settle for this and that… and work towards the rest,” talking of incremental change. That is the work of Think Tanks… who are trying to find a route of damage control. The least they can give to put down the Resistance, to de-fang its righteous power.

They too, will try and find corruption within your own ranks to demonize you against one another.

Some Union members may or may not be corrupt (for corruption is easy to manufacture) but the IDEA of Unions is not.

Separate ideas from individuals.

“You’re On a Course With No Destination!”

This, oh yeah, daring, this is our Achille’s Heel.

They will, and WE will spout examples of a thousand failed revolutions, and never name the ones that have succeeded, and basically tell ourselves if we don’t have ALL the answers, we have no business even trying to break down the failed system that has brought us to the brink of extinction.

They are coming out in droves: Listen to us! We have the answers! All the little (and larger) factions from Zeitgeist people to Anarchists, to Animal Rights People, to Women’s Rights Groups, to Libertarians, to Urantia People, to Solidarity Socialists…. whomever.

The thing is? We have to bring them ALL to the table, and take the good ideas, while not letting any single one create or own the narrative. Its time to stop being ideologues, shut up and LEARN.

Its also a time to stop trying to be the boss of everything.

We are not left, we are not right, we are human beings trying to make a better world for ourselves and our children.

Its time to don the psychic Togas and have the discussions not follow a leader, or leaders. Its time to be co-leaders into something new.

The only thing that can get us is us, if we buy any facet of the Kabuki, or if rather than considering, we obsess on any one angle of it.

Don’t Let You Get You.

You really are the only one that can fail yourself. You aren’t failing others, that’s their job not to do. Don’t be derailed.

YOU create the narrative, despite the thousand derailing narratives vying to be made.

I’m my own worst enemy. So are you.

Or my own best friend. You pick.

Just pick your own path, not one trying to make it in its own image of what it wants you to be.

Remember the 1st video above? Slant is easy – Reality is hard. Hard is good, if you know what I mean… lets pick hard.

Please, Don’t let you get you, or me!

Now, about that bowl. Lemme turn on some fun music….
