G.U.T.S . (Giving
U Thought & Seizure)
by Carl F. OFf
This is where we spill our brains and hearts and guts out. Oh wait--that's probably some hamburger factory government site where they suck your innards out through your paycheck. Basically we just post here what we have to say about whatever we feel like talking about.
These are dark days my friends. We must hold our heads above the thrashing blood and beware of our surroundings. We are the enemy even though we are their true friend. The lies they are told are keeping them blind and we must show them the light and meaning of all around us. We must demand peace, the only logical solution, and disgrace all forms of violence. We may be the chosen ones, not that we know the answers just that we hope and pray that we know the path!
Ceux-ci sont des jours sombres mes amis.
Diese sind dunkle Tage meine Freunde.
Questi sono dei giorni scuri i miei amici.
Deze zijn donkere dagen mijn vrienden.
Disse er mørke dager mine venner.
Они - темные дни мои друзья.
Estes são dias escuros meus amigos.
love destroys life destroys love
Under the species of Syndicalism and Fascism there appears for the first time in Europe a type of man who does not want to give reasons or to be right, but simply shows himself resolved to impose his opinions.---- ATTRIBUTION: José Ortega Y Gasset (1883-1955), Spanish essayist, philosopher. The Revolt of the Masses, ch. 8 (1930).
One of the striking differences between Fascism and Communism is this: Fascism has inspired no great work of art.... No doubt, Fascism is too vile and scurrilous an ideology to produce those charities of the imagination which are essential to literate art. Communism, even when it has gone venomous, is a mythology of the human future, a vision of human possibility rich in moral demand. Fascism is the ultimate code of the hoodlum; Communism fails because it would seek to impose upon the fragile plurality of human nature and conduct an artificial ideal of self-denial and human purpose. Fascism tyrannizes through contempt of man; Communism tyrannizes by exalting man above that sphere of private error, private ambition, and private love which we call freedom.----ATTRIBUTION: George Steiner (b. 1927), French-born - U.S. critic, novelist. "The Writer and Communism," Language and Silence, Atheneum (1967).
October 8, 2005 - Reflecting on my earlier postings, writing, etc. and the infrequent documenting of events and thought patterns that I'm so good at. It's all still valid even though most of it was missed. The state of affairs today may be grimmer than we've ever imagined and my best hope for survival is artificial transformalmedicating... by this i mean it is now necessary to rebuild the nerves, the paths, the roads that connect one brainstem to another inside my head... i must rewire my emotional and thought patterns in order to deceive myself in believing in a better world... I feel as if it is a fresh new way of time travel.... travel into beautiful alternate parallel universes which never existed yet i am now going to create... won't you join me in the reinvention of the human spirit, the reinvention of the animal spirit and the recycling of the monsterous universe in which we live. we've defiled the beautiful landscape given to us by mother nature.... we've desecrated this planet instead of sharing it and our on a path to desecrating a whole universe...won't you join me?????? am i alone? we'd still be breathing the same air....our lungs lined with soot, we'd still be eating the same food, our stomachs filled with pesticides, we'd still be taking in the same useless information but it would be recycled into glorious dreams ahhhhhhhhhhhhh the lies that can fulfill us.... one day my friends......one day... transformalmedication will be me.
May 22, 2004 - just returned from france..............
October 6, 2003 - I don't even know what day it is I had to search my digital calendar...it's all the same desperation, depression, devotion, war, famine, republicans, where's our revolution? 7376 where's there revolution? 9178... 7376 ..where's there revolution? 9178 ........7376 where's there revolution? 9178........ 7376 where's there revolution? 9178..... 7376 where's there revolution? 9178 ......7376 where's there revolution? 9178 .......7376 min.-max. 9178 civilians dead in Iraq. more civilians than soldiers ...now times that by 100s..we march in the streets and everyone laughs..our own friends don't even take us seriously....our own lovers....what once was my shattered cry to be an activist and to help has become a grumbled muttering of madness as all look at me with three eyes....three eyes... i see people being tortured, mothers losing children. calfs being strung up in front of their mamas, birds spending there lives in cages, a boy having his arms and legs blown off by a dormant cluster bomb bought with money extracted from the paycheck of my shady job...i see people hopped up in their own issues their personal head traumas, their ego trips, i can't fucking fucking stand egos...they tell me we all have them...i don't think so..it's just another ploy..an excuse for your upside down issues. so fucking caught up in their own egos that all they can think about is thireselves and their superficial lives ... they make excuses for not giving enough time to care about anything but their selves and their miserable lives their miserable american middle class lives ..by considering the activist community a focus group..they talk a pretty talk and in reality join the masses as being lifeless sick bodies of human waste sitting there doing nothing being nobody accomplishing nothing but CHAOS ......besides making their selves a happy legend and nothing else... spending their whole lives worrying about their selves and never sharing that worry with an unknown boy or girl in syria who's just lost their whole family after being carpet bombed in an air raid from Isreal. I just don't unDERSTANd why we americans are so superficial and try to say we aren't.... i just don't understand ............so i'm sure by the time i'm forty ......instead of finding me here you'll find me in a mental institution.....i ....love........... you!
3 3 3 - Today is March 3rd 3003 and I don't know where to begin......... We are going to war..we are going to kill and be killed by the hands of the corporate world... we are going to make more children suffer all under the amerikan flag... it's so sad that we must sit here why our representatives don't represent us... yet through the eyes of many across the globe we are who they are..... Well hopefully while we protest through the streets the people of the world will see that we can still raise our fists even if we are becoming more like a dictatorship....i don't know what's going on but I've heard comparisons to the beginnings of nazi germany, do you think this is far fetched?..hmmm..We have a ton of immigrants, particularly Muslims and Arabs locked up in camps without lawyers, without charges pressed, without contact with any outsiders including their families..what ever happened to justice..i guess they're guilty until proven innocent or even charged...Can I be labeled a terrorist for stating that I hate my fucking government and the corporations that run it and I hate them because they murder for capital gain, I don't know... the new patriot act and soon to be patriot act II is pretty damn scary.. .... Look i'm opposed to violence, murder, torture et al...yes i'm opposed to bloody revolution...what's the answer then????? I don't know.. all i do know is there is no reason to kill..... not for money, gain, control, greed or status. FUCK THAT AND FUCK THEM for thinking such Neanderthal thoughts.. we need a revolution of peace and disobedience a general strike, as Sabbah suggested, and take the green blood from their veins... because this country is going to fall... we can't seriously believe that amerika is not a threat to itself and that it will be the power it is now in a hundred years. at the rate were going this country will be dried up with the oil it steals in 50 years. Then we're going to be the one invaded and tortured for our governments dead...it'll be the peace activists that take the heat. So what do we do. Well i'll keep protesting with hundreds of thousands of people in the streets. because i need that unity to stay sane.. and they know that.. that's why they downplay the protests on NBC's GE owned 5 'o clock news. because if your a company making bombs that also owns a significant amount of the television brain feed airwaves why would you tell the public that there are people out there against you making and dropping your profit on helpless mothers and children. you can't have a business in bomb making and let them pile up in your warehouse that's just not good for capitalism..you must sell your stuff to the governments of the world even if they are an enemy and make your profit..especially if your that rich and worried about not being able to keep the next 100 generations of your family name fed and driving 100,000 dollar cars. anyway fight for the people..fight for the immigrants...fight for the taco bell workers...fight til we can't fight anymore...aren't we all immigrants? then I guess I'll fight for me AND my family too..........does this make me an extremist?..........
16 April, 2002 - Bush is going to give 98 million dollars of our tax money to Occidental Petroleum, a privately owned Los Angeles based company, to protect their oil pipeline in Columbia. We give billions to Israel. We spent 150 billion on defense last year and 40 billion on education. I have to arrange a payment plan for owed back-taxes. We don't need no education.
The sleeping giant awakes......................... and crushes everyone at it's feet.
17 February, 2002 - (the link for this is now broken. when you'd click on it before they're would be flashing lights and dancing happy faces saying "you're an idiot, haha haha haha", just good humor)
If you think George W. is raping the environmental laws and using the crisis as a blindfold as he leads (?) our country through this horrible time, I agree! If you think George W. is really doing a good job click here. If you think Dick C. is hiding environmental rollbacks that were agreed upon at that ENRON meeting, I agree. If you think Dick C. is just protecting his rights and has nothing to hide click here. (thanks to www.brainwashed.com for the link)
14 February, 2002 - "Ah yes, the war effort. No time to criticize, right? Shall we behave ourselves while corporate men take over our government, our laws? Can we allow the White House to hide behind the flag?" Passacantando, Greenpeace USA's Executive Director. For the complete statement please go to our causes page.
13 February, 2002 -I'm sure someone else has pondered this subject but, what do you think? Do you think that the spirits or evils that may or may not exist aren't supernatural at all? This may be a spin off of energy fields and such, but what if everything that exists is in part or in all tuned from the resonance of stone and sand, through the sounds emitting from caves and hollow grounds.
As the earth moves it creates sounds, low rumblings, high pitched scrapings, through ever shifting plates & layers. Do you wince when someone screams and suffers? Does the sound of music change your mood? Well, that's just a small newly created sound. Do you think thousands of years of resonating sound, ever bouncing and evolving could create spirits of good and evil, of influence, of greatness or disaster? Do you think that the source of life, the blood of life could be sound? Does movement create sound or does sound create movement?- Karloff
11 February, 2002 - I just heard something on KPFK that I didn't know. There's many obvious reasons why public schools in wealthier neighborhoods fair better than their lower income counter-parts, such as wealthier parents contributing monies to the school which can be defined as hybrid (public & privately funded).......... Did you know that every state in the union, with the exception of California bases it's school funding on property taxes? This means that in the areas where there are million dollar houses and the property taxes are through the roof there is quite a bit more funding from the state than in the ghetto where property value is nothing, taxes are nothing and therefore funding is nothing. Don't you think this should be balanced everywhere and if it wasn't shouldn't it be reversed due to private funding from the upper class? I wonder if this is a thank you to the higher property tax payer from the government along with the tax breaks. If you give people more money for there schools and large tax breaks then they won't be so angry about the enormous money their handing over to the pockets of greedy politicians? Just a thought.
-KPFK is a station all should listen to. It's found on the FM dial in Los Angeles at frequency 90.7. I recommend Mark Cooper's Daily Revue M-F 4-5, Beneath the Surface (sometimes with John Weiner) M-F 5-7pm, Global Village for your music needs Wednesday & Thursdays, Michio Kaku Thurs at 3 and Democracy Now M-F 9-10. There are tons morem, just listen.

15 December, 2001 - Why are we not hearing of the innocent Afghan deaths due to U.S. bombings. Our bombings. It's the 50's all over again. I heard a reporter on the radio who was in an Afghan hospital recently and had the chance to speak to a man who was the innocent victim of our bombings. He had no clothes except for his backless hospital gown because they were blown off in the explosion. After talking with him about tragedies that are happening due to the so called "collateral damage" of the "war on terrorism" he agreed to give the reporter permission to speak to his wife who was also hospitalized due to the bombing. He had one condition though, that he not tell his wife that all FIVE of their children are dead. We are repeatedly bombing innocent people in innocent towns where we THINK Al Queda and Bin Laden’s terrorists MAY be hiding. ARE YOU SAD? CONFUSED? ARE YOU SHEDDING A SINGLE TEAR FOR EVEN A SINGLE DROP OF INNOCENT BLOOD? DO YOU EVEN CARE IN YOUR WARM COZY PLACE OF COMFORT?
SHOULD YOUR GOVERNMENT BE MORE THOUGHTFUL AND STRATEGIC OR DO YOU FEEL MORE SECURE WITH YOUR LEADERSHIP ?
DEMAND mORe INTELLIGENCE FROM YOUR LEADERS.
WHAT ARE YOUR TAXES PAYING FOR?? WHAT ARE YOU PAYING FOR???????
DO YOU CARE!?
