11 Apr blowing whistles
i have made several attempts to write something cohesive here about assange…snowden…manning….reality winner and countless others who felt the need to inform the citizens of this country what the fuck was going on behind our stupid little backs.
i went to fort meade to protest when manning was on trial, lot of good that did eh?
when 911 happened my first thoughts were that the US government was responsible for it to send us to war…and it is reflected in my artwork from that time…..that was when i started doing more political collages
so now with assange…is it a matter of definition?
what is a journalist?
was he just a publisher…..
did he really push manning to get more than manning wanted to get?
and then there are his rape accusations…..
and manning has been in jail for a month now most of it in solitary (torture) because she wouldn’t say fuck all to the grand jury
then there’s obama right and trump. obama i think realized that trying to extradite assange would fuck up freedom of the press…but obama indicted more whistle blowers than any other fucking president….like what the fuck do people NOT SEE?
then trump praises wikileaks (a distinction from praising assange) during campaign and today says ahh duh what’s likiweaks.
snowden is living in russia because he will be tried here for leaking what he did about the NSA.
i really fucked up this morning with my mouth though….the boss said something about assange and i said yeah it was bound to happen but then i pumped my fist and said i was pro whistle blowers….then he said something about assange weaponizing wikileaks and asked me why he didn’t leak about trump and did so much damage to hillz….i said because hillz is worse than trump and whoa….oops! but it’s how i feel.
then they got upset at me for saying such preposterous things and called trump a nazi and how all the parks are closed and i tried to recover by saying trump is an idiot but a different kind of idiot…that hillz has been an entrenched neocon piece of shit for most of my fucking life.
trumps been around that long too but he was more celebrity less presidential and let’s face it he’s not that presidential as president….
but still….these days it’s hard to be someone who doesn’t think like all the robots….my views are based on how i was raised and the things i have seen….and they’re different.
i hold fast to my ways of thinking but i do like when people don’t just start yelling about nazis when i bring up the idea or opinion that a democrat can’t possibly be evil. definite note to self today…don’t talk politics. or at least if it comes up again just explain my views succinctly that i am mostly anti government and pro freedom, true freedom. the idea do no harm comes to mind. let me live my life as i see fit so long as it isn’t a detriment to the other citizens around me.
i am fucking moving to texas in like two months what the fuck.
fuck this shit with the leakers. obama had a moment of well i didn’t close gitmo so i will commute a sentence for a whistle blower so those that hated me because of my hardcore anti leak agenda will soften…that may not make sense to you but it does to me!
it makes me sad to watch people towing lines and blindly following the narratives….but because folks are hyper sensitive now one says something like i did this morning and could lose their job….i honestly was a little nervous…the moms reaction had me flustered…..i felt like a nazi.
then the kid was walking around saying nazi nazi. so funny. she’s always saying hi to random people so i kept saying ‘hi nazi hi nazi’
when i was nannying in DC for H and C, i sang the death star song so many times when we went by the pentagon that one day we were passing by years later and H started singing the song…..we used to shake our fists at congress and i took them to all manner of actions. living in DC changed a LOT OF MY VIEWS. living among the politicians on the hill changed my perception of government….i am going there saturday to have dinner with the kids and parents to say adios to them….they saw me at some of my worst times and i am forever grateful to them…they did treat me like the help and i wasn’t a part of the family i was an employee but i think now they know that even though i sucked sometimes as a person i always took good care of the kids. they are 13 and 11 now….i am old!
as usual, rambling.
we live in weird times man.
