| Welcome. we
want to thank you for continuing to think and speak
with a real exercise of freedom. With media that has been bought
and sold by the same handful of corporations that pull the strings
of our government, it is little surprise that the truth hardly
trickles out these days between commercials. The more alternate
channels of information we forge, the better hope we have of restoring
democracy some day. Click
here if you would like to be put on a mailing list that is
used to discuss the illegitimate bush dynasty and their continuing
crusade to subvert the will of the American People™.
We have lyrics on these topics in our songs. See Red
& White Blues, Your
Own Hell and Tough
Hate in our Lyrics
section.

06/02/03 It's all starting
to come out in the wash. Too
bad most Americans believe "These colors don't run"
and won't read the writing on the wall. We'll just have to keep
spelling it out for them as best we can.
Meanwhile bush is off to stir up the hornet's nest of the middle
east in another PR stunt, aimed at 2004. Is anyone else worried
when this man goes off on a mission of "peace?" Every
single thing this administration has ever said has turned out
to be its complete opposite; the perfect expression of Orwellian
nightmares: Ignorance = bliss, Freedom = slavery. When they
start talking Peace I get worried.
Think about it. We now have the technology to have the President,
the Commander in Chief, able to play video games in his bedroom
with real consequences to real humans from the result. And wouldn't
you know it, the one thing little george was always good at
was playing in the sandbox with his little army men, and he
didn't have to share it with a soul. So now we have the first
administration in US history to ever directly profit from a
war. They played with their little game, the 1.0 version: Afghani
Payback and decided it needed power pellets that you could run
over that gave you actual money in the real world. The 2.0 version:
Baghdad Bunker Busters proved much more exciting, but he still
couldn't get enough. What did he care of the cost? "It's
just quarters and in the next several quarters we'll just run
up a deficit that our children's children's children will have
to pay" he snorts. Presently he shouts to the team of white-coated
clipboards, designers of the upcoming: 3.0 Syrian Sledgehammer,
sweatily clutching at his joystick, "We need mini nukes!"

04-18-03: Anyone
else find a problem with their calling it a "great military
victory?" -Not
only is this as ridiculous an oxymoron as "military intelligence,"
but even sports logic dictates that a "great victory"
only happens when there is actually some challenge, some doubt
as to it's outcome. You don't call a pro team vs. a little league
team any kind of "great victory" right? It's just
like what comedian / prophet Bill Hick's said about the first
gulf war: "It went from 'Beware the Elite Republican Guard!'
to 'But look out for those Republican Guard...' to 'The Republicans
made this shit up about there being any guards.'"
So where are they going to memorialize those that needlessly
gave their lives for this cruel excursion? Put a monument in
Crawford Texas? Yes, and they should make it out of depleted
uranium! Might as well, since it is what sealed their fates
far more accurately then any Iraqi "Weapons of Mass Destruction."
George I's library is in College Station, and was supposedly
built on lands that used to be a huge pig farm. They say the
smell of animal waste has never quite left the site. Concentrated
piggie effluvium. A fitting monument to a legacy of making Texas
and Louisiana the dumping ground of the world for toxic waste,
chemical deposits and petroleum blunders.
I finally figured out why they slash budgets for Education,
PBS, NPR, the Children's Television Network, etc. in favor of
defense. It's really so diabolically simple I hadn't dared to
think it before: It is simply to make sure people continue to
be god-fearing, TV-pacified, Wrestlemania-watching idiots who
hate the rest of the world as much as they love their guns.
That's how you you keep a group of voters around that will believe
any smokescreen you spin, no matter how inane, and be ready
to march off to show those "ignorant muslims" how
they can have the freedom to grow a mullet haircut and go to
a shopping mall and live in a big strip center, cause we got
it better over here. Damned skippy!
And have you noticed all the judges we now have on the air with
TV shows competing against one another? (You know we don't have
enough dirty laundry being aired 24-7 via satellite through
the Jenny Jones's and Jerry Springers, as well as all the new
"reality" shows.) Now, since the dam was busted with
the Supreme Court appointing the current regime, showing us
that even the highest court in the land is in someone's pocket;
I think it is another sign that the new Rome is crumbling from
within (under the weight of it's own hypocrisy) to have judges
that are worried about their ratings. I know these are small
claims courts, but it is a small step from there to televised
murder trials and executions.
I may not have been the first to come up with this idea, but
I think we should bring some honesty to the courts and make
judges wear their corporate sponsorship on their robes like
racecar drivers. This Supreme Court Justice was brought to you
by Dow Chemical, Exxon-Mobile, and Microsoft! In fact, that
should be the rule for all politicians and lobbyists. The %
of the uniform covered is proportional to the % of campaign
contributions. That's real campaign finance reform!

03/24/03 As of this time,
no weapons of mass destruction
have yet been found in Iraq, but give them time to plant them. Still there
is no evidence whatsoever to link 9-11 to Iraq, but they are still being
tried and summarily executed in the judge/jury of American opinion. Americans
are dying over there now, and many here at home are becoming red faced
angry at those of us who still cry out for peace, ripping signs out of
our yards and other acts of vandalism that show how much they love America's
diversity and freedom of speech. I still cannot find it in my heart to
blame the Iraqis for this shedding of our blood, since it was we that
cast the first stone. The best way we can support our troops is to bring
them home! Vietnam did not end solely through protests, but mainly through
body bags that built up to the degree that mom and pop America finally
said "enough." How many will it take this time? This is exactly
why they won't show us the footage of our servicemen and women captives
that the rest of the world has seen. They tell us it is out of respect
for the families. I think they SHOULD show it out of respect for the families.
Honor that they gave their lives, and show the atrocity of war up front
so we can distinguish it from our regular daily intake of TV. Explain
why they died: -Because someone told them it was in all our best interests.
Someone decided we are the police of the world, above and beyond the UN.
Many pundits have said that the reason we are over there is to bring them
freedom. If we are imposing our way of life on them, how does this make
them free? How free are WE if our governing administration was self-appointed
and our elections are rigged now? This won't stop me from voting, but
we need to bring back the exit poll as a check on the process, and we
obviously need to do away with the electoral college while we're at it.
(All it gives us are degrees of uncertainty.) For that matter, lets bring
back checks and balances. Otherwise, all we have is fascism in disguise.
Amerika über alles!

BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE
Michael Moore and Michael Donovan
ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
Michael Moore: "Whoa. On behalf of our producers Kathleen Glynn and
Michael Donovan from Canada, I'd like to thank the Academy for this. I
have invited my fellow documentary nominees on the stage with us, and
we would like to — they're here in solidarity with me because we
like nonfiction. We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times. We
live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects
a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending
us to war for fictitious reasons. Whether it's the fictition of duct tape
or fictition of orange alerts we are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame
on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you. And any time you got the Pope and the
Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up. Thank you very much."
03/08/03 Pardon
me while I fire off another series of rants...
Pardon me while I fire off another series of rants...
Have you noticed how many times bush says the word freedom in all his
prostheletizing about going to war with Iraq? He gives a bunch of half-baked
excuses and then falls back on freedom to justify his actions of kicking
off global slaughter. He actually even used the example of... Ready...
Get this:
-To choose our own leaders.
That's right. The unelected leader of the “free world” actually
believes that the people chose him as their president. I've decided the
pundits (and yes, bush is a pundit too. There's not an original fiber
in his body) must be talking about some other kind of freedom, not the
kind that our grandfathers and forefathers fought and died for. Now we've
got a new improved Freedom just in time for the new millennium. It's just
like real freedom, except without all those messy civil rights. It's for
your own protection, you understand. In the interest of national security,
our government has secretly substituted new Freedom
Lite™ for real freedom. Let's see if the american people can
tell the difference...
You can choose any religion you want...
Oh, but, emm. It's in the fine print here: The part that was added only
in here in the last 50 years: Our god is the one this nation is under,
you understand, so we have to make your kids pledge allegiance to him
and this piece of cloth, and this "republic" we have here and
have it droned into their skulls from long before they could ever know
what it means, and now we have to teach in our public schools in some
shit county of Georgia that the bible's creation story is a literal history,
with no room for interpretation. And you have the freedom now to have
your children put in jail if they do not attend this school if you live
in that area.
But you can dress any way you want over here. We
gots us some rights...
Really..
Like the kid who was carted off by the FBI after being turned in by his
asst. principle of his middle school for wearing a t-shirt with a picture
of bush with "Not My President" on it that he had then drawn
a target over. Though not in the best of taste, it still should not have
been been treated like a federal offense, literally, to have worn a T-shirt,
whatever was on it. Make the kid put on another shirt and or suspend him,
but unless he was building bombs in his basement or anthrax in chemistry
class, leave him the fuck alone.
Like Stephen Downs, 61, who was arrested at the shopping mall in Albany
New York and charged with trespassing after he refused to take off a T-shirt
that said "Peace on Earth" and "Give peace a chance."
Yes, at a shopping mall. Trespassing during normal business hours at a
shopping mall is worse then arresting girls for indecent exposure for
flashing their tits down on 6th street on Fat Tuesday (which they did
39 times this week here in Austin). Another fine example of where cultural
norms clash with puritanical church based laws. The War on Drugs was just
the first successful test staging of the shadow government. (They're not
even trying to pretend it doesn't exist anymore.) They've just expanded
the scope. The goals and methods are the same. The rulebook was started
by Machiavelli with other big pieces updated by Adolph Hitler, but finished
off successfully by George Bush I. A good friend of mine recently commented
that soon they will probably rename Dealy Plaza in Dallas after George
Bush I. With the way public buildings are being renamed after bushes around
here, I think he's right. In 2050, they will commemorate the event that
launched his brilliant legacy and has been foisted upon us for so long.
But our government is by the people and for the
people...
Wrong again. You're not very good at this, Bubba. Why are key documents
about the JFK assassination and 9-11 being sealed and kept from the people
until 2050 or so, if ever? What do they have to hide?
Shrubco thinks he is beyond reproach. He said in the book Bush at War
that because he is the president, he doesn't have to answer to anyone.
He probably considers himself peopel {sic}. Its a country like in country
club right? You git uppity and we're a-fixin' ta be a-throwin' your sorry
ass out. Go to France, you pinko!
But at least you have the right to privacy here,
mayan? I mean, Big Brother's not watching us right? I mean, we don't have
a secret police watching everything we do, right? We don't have Hitler
Youth setting up witch trials, right?
Man, where have you been? No, Freedom Lite
got rid of all that hassle and red tape the government used to have in
place to keep it from using all this new super cool surveillance equipment
on it's own people. Good 'ol Ronnie Reagan used the War on Drugs to allow
the U.S. Military for the first time to carry out covert operations within
the U.S. borders and now we've got Good 'ol Admiral John Poindexter, convicted
felon from the Iran Contra scandal heading the "intelligence assimilation"
division of the new Homeland Security office, who so far has managed to
give us the colorful fear-o-meter and bid us to collectively bend over
with the duct tape handy. Programs like DARE and Operation TIPS that are
imprisoning innocents and splitting up families do a far better job than
Hitler Youth ever did. Cameras on traffic lights that issue you tickets
are the first step in automated law enforcement. Interactive TV is right
around the corner, and since TV has become the ultimate opiate of the
people, we will flock to it like flies to shit. Thoughtcrime will soon
be sentenced and fines will be paid all from your very own home. We have
satellites that can target you anywhere here in the world but we still
can't find this Bin Laden fellow who has more in common with dubya than
anyone on the planet. And now we have at least 13 different law enforcement
agencies. It's like an old sick joke: If 12 agencies couldn't prevent
9-11, do you think that 13th will? The 13 martini to try to kill the taste
of millions of innocents burning in their beds.
Oh yeah, and now, thanks to the "Patriot Act" there are people
in jail right now that have been held indefinitely without right to counsel
since October of 2000. How do you pay back someone's lifetime.
Freedom Lite. It's more red-white-and-blue-ier,
and I hayelped."
03/08/03 So,
anyway, people are really ragging on the French right now. We've
always known they have been a stubborn and emotional bunch, defiantly
continuing to test nuclear weapons, sinking of the Greepeace ship, etc.
so we shouldn't really be surprised when they go apeshit and overreact.
What we ought to be doing is looking at what set them off. I mean, how
hard can it be an act of diplomacy to keep one of our oldest allies coddled?
Can you see this happening to say... Jimmy Carter, or Bill Clinton? I'll
bet while he was getting briefed on how to greet the French Ambassador
or president for the first time, dubya looked at the kissing on both cheeks
custom being demonstrated for his benefit and smirked "I ain't doin'
that." Hell, even Nixon kissed the French Prime Minister on both
cheeks. Lyndon Johnson too, if you need a Texan precedent. But now, with
some simple decorum or somesuch overlooked, we have them threatening to
go to war with the U.S. I, mean, shit, diplomacy is all table manners
to the French. (The Japanese too, which I guess has not been taught well
in the bush family for generations. -We all know how well George Sr. fared
in that arena, thanks primarily to Dana Carvy.) Hell, a simple pretzel
is a challenge to this man, that's offensive enough to the French. What
about North Korea? They seem especially easy to piss off right now. Lets
start calling them evil doers and ingnore their attempts to sit at the
table with us. Good idea george.
 
Thanks for reading
this. Keep on thinking free!
Peace and love,
