Rick Perry gets served @ CNN Tea Party Debate
Folks like Rick Perry really need to get put on front street for their hypocritical positions. So I was very happy to see him go under fire at tonight's debate, and even more pleased by his inability to hold himself together.
Rick was looking like a boxer getting his ass whipped the way he was sucking up all that air. Bachman dropping the Merck connection was obviously a painful subject for Slick Rick. His rebuttal was that he had in fact only received $5,000 dollars from them for his campaign and that he was offended, not that she would say that he would sell out but because she said he would do it for so little. HAHAHA. Well ends up that a certain bloggger was quick to point out that it was actually $30,000 that was donated to his campaign. GO FIGURE.
Then Sontorum came through to take a piece out of his punk ass by further pointing out the obvious fact that the Government should not have any roll in vaccinating 12 year old girls against HPV!! At this point Rick Perry didn't know what to do. The rest of the night he fumbled through his questions and had a glossed over look on his face. OUT FOR THE COUNT. This issue is not going to go anywhere nor should it. That Rick Perry used his executive authority to mandate young girls get vaccines for this STD completely destroys his credibility as a conservative. He should be getting laughed/booed from the stage everywhere he goes.
The Hambloggger Man interviews Mr. VizFact of VizTV
If you have not already been over to the homey, Mr. VizFact's blog you're kinda slipping, HARD. VizFact has been putting in a gang of work at pushing culturally valuable date into the blogggosphere. Dude has super large amounts of educational blogs, social critique and comedy up on his youtube channel, however if your too lazy to click on that link at the very least make sure you peep out one of his latest and greatest, made for you tube mini doc about circumcision. It could save your unborn sons FORESKIN.
I first found VizFact via a Public Service Denouncement that the had produced on Rick Perry. Not pulling any punches Viz got to the bone of the many controversies (including but not limited to, his aigning of an executive order that mandated 12 year girls get a shot of Gardisal to stop them from getting an STD) that surround the Texas Governor thus exposing his True Socialist Agenda. It has since become apparent to me that VizFact offers a radically genuine perspective on most of life's circumstances. For example take a look at this hard hitting reminder of what the fuck you should not have stopped thinking about.
Its going to take a nation of informed people to pull us back from flying off of this cliff of hyper inflation and tyranny but its folks like Mr.VizFact, who are a testimony to this being a possible reality. Up here at THEHAMBLOGGGERMAN independent thinking is highly sought out and prized, so I just wanted again make sure to say how thankful and honored I was to have had this opportunity to interview the Viz and am hopeful that another chance to do it again comes soon!! Until Then....
sincerly,

The HambloGGGer Man interviews RYS2SENSE
YO YO YO...whats up my people... Just had the opportunity to sit down and have a chat with Filmmaker, Historian, Philosopher, Activist, Ron Paul Supporter and fellow Bloggger RYS2SENSE. Needless to say he was a well spring of information. If you’re not familiar with his work you need to check out War by Deception .com, and his RYS2SENSE youtube channel. The guy is putting in major amounts or work today in an attempt to break through the BIG MONEY Media’s blackout of the TRUTH.
And you can bet your bottom Dollar that the ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA is not happy about RYS2SENSE’s work, as was evidenced in an article put out yesterday by the ADL claiming that he is being slanderous in his allegations that the Israeli government played a part in the September 11 attacks. However the ADL doesn’t offer any proof to debate his allegations, rather they rely on playing the RACE CARD in an attempt to garner the support of their readers. I do believe though that the evidence that RYS2SENSE brings forth in his arguments and videos is to powerful for it to be dismissed by this smokescreen of deceit and that he will ultimately be successful in continuing to open peoples minds and spark the debate that is necessary for the truth community to continue to grow.

1300 Libyan killed within 24 hours at hands of peace loving, NATO BACKED FREEDOM FIGHTERS. Main Stream media FLATLINES story.
How is it that 1300 people are killed in a single day and it doesn't make headlines? How is CNN not reporting on the fact that 1300 people were killed in Libya yesterday? I almost can't even believe that this is real. Is the Main Stream media really so on the take that a mass killing, of this magnitude, can be blacklisted? HOW CAN THIS BE??? I know that this number is coming from within the Gadaffi camp so people won't trust it, however that IT IS IN FACT coming from within the camp seems enough reason to at least cover it as an allegation. That we see all the different media companies working in tandem on upholding this blackout, in my opinion, is indicative of a conspiracy of censorship.
“This is a NATO war. They bombed this entire city and landed insurgents on the coast. NATO has bombed mercilessly in this country and massacred innocent civilians.”
All day the MAJOR headlines have been celebrating today as a real turning point in this war. Barack came out and talked about the US commitment to being a friend and PARTNER in the rebuilding of Libya (aka OCCUPY). I've seen the tabloids come out and mock Gadaffis wardrobe in an attempt to make light of the subject. ALL this rhetoric and nothing about 1300 people being killed in ONE FUCKING DAY!!! This is so DAMN SAD. To call this a new low would not be sufficient in my condemning of the military industrial complex, and more specifically the MASS MEDIA branch of it. This act of censorship is a cruel joke and an exercise in mind control. Tell me please, how are Obamas supporters going to say that this is a humanitarian mission. THIS argument HOLDS NO WEIGHT.
Libya: Press Conference Moussa Ibrahim after Rebels Entered Tripoli - August 21, 2011 Vidéo mirrorthis2010 sélectionnée dans Actualité
Below is a clip of Webster Tarpley breaking down the current NATO rush to meet their timelines and to keep this mission moving expeditiously. Apparently NATO has found a blood thirsty, murderous group of PRICKS. I would really like to catch one of these pilots, who are carpet bombing a city of 2 million people, on the streets someday and ask them how they go to sleep at night. There is no excuse for these EVILS. The entire world should read this news of 1300 people (and counting) being killed and DEMAND IT TO STOP. There is no way that this is going to bring in democracy. HOW CAN OBAMA sit there and front so hard? He must really think we have the intelligence of his kids. Of course he is putting all his money (including his nobel peace prize) on the bet that, as long as this STORY OF MASS MURDER doesn't get coverage, nobody will think about it.
Perhaps we can consider OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD a success, eh? Or will the people of the planet use this as an opportunity to see the true colors of these NEWS PUNDITS who say that we should trust them in their UNBIASED attempt to gather and report information. Im sure they will say these blackouts are just lapses of judgements in their honest attempt to help cultivate an informed society? Will these people who were killed be forgotten or will this story find the power to tear the veils from the eyes of those naively believe that MSNBC or FOX really cares about them? I believe that it is through these arrogant acts of intellectual treachery that the EMPIRE becomes exposed, for its not always just about what they tell us, but rather what they don't tell us, which allows us to see wither or not it is our best interests that they have in mind? Choosing not to address the fact that 1300 people were, or may have been, killed in one day speaks volumes in this regard.
Assaulted in Denmark-Shepard Fairey
First and foremost this blog is an exercise in peace. I don't advocate violence, expect for SELF DEFENSE. I don't wish pain or suffering onto anybody unless they are trying to inflict that upon somebody else. Violence is UGLY. It's degrading. It's dangerous and unstable. It is often used in place of logical debate and thus it is an INTELLECTUALLY DEBASING activity. And it is exactly for these reasons that I can't condone the recent beat down given to Shepard Fairey, however I'm not surprised that it has happened and neither should he!
"The LA-based artist believes the attack was sparked by a misunderstanding over his mural commemorating the demolition of the legendary “Ungdomshuset” (youth house) at Jagtvej 69. The building, a long-term base for Copenhagen’s leftwing community, was controversially demolished in 2007. It has become a potent symbol of the standoff between the establishment in Copenhagen and its radical fringe." "Fairey’s installation, painted on a building adjacent to the vacant site, depicted a dove in flight above the word “peace” and the figure “69″. But the mural appeared to reopen old wounds, with critics accusing Fairey of peddling government-funded propaganda"
Fairey has made it habit to align himself with revolutionary ideology through the referencing of certain symbols and individuals/groups from different eras of struggle and uprising. He has incorporated, dishonestly at times, other peoples works of art into his own so as to try and make his perspective seem more genuine and justified in its condemnation of consumerism, war, environmental destruction and a whole list of social issues. While he has been found guilty of this in a court of law it would seem that his reputation had suffered little, at least here in America. Part of the reason I think this has been allowed to happen is because Shepard, like MTV, has successfully exploited the stupidity and moral bankruptcy of generation X, Y or what ever the fuck letter were up to now. By lifting works of art from artists of the past, many of his fans have been ignorant to the fact that his are not the originals. In this case his fans have played along unknowingly. Others who might be hip to his sources, see his financial success as reason to give him a pass on his piracy. I have heard this argument on multiple occasions. It's said he contributes a lot to the community and has created a lot of jobs for people. And therefor I should not be CONCERNED that he promotes the UNITED STATES killing people in Libya or that he steals peoples photographs that he then uses to catapult himself into stardom.
While I do believe in FREEDOM and thus pray that my brothers and sisters across the world throw the saddles from their backs, I CAN NOT as an INFORMED AMERICAN sit by as the WAR MACHINE deploys into Libya under the false pretense of HUMANITARIANISM. I, as a peace activist, can not allow this to ride and therefore speak out against it. Letting Fairey off the hook for EXCUSING THE UNITED STATES WAR MACHINE just because he spreads some capital around is like forgiving CIGARETTE COMPANIES that advertise to kids just because they donate to a anti smoking fund. We all know that the CIGARETTE company doesn't want people to stop smoking. It is done to control the perception of the public. Make themselves look good, as if they truly cared. Fairey is being used as a character in an anti-war commercial but the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX is paying for the airtime. He repeatedly condemns the wars of today that were started by Bush but says nothing about the Obama Administration drone bombing YEMEN and PAKISTAN, and then Fairey actually comes out and APPROVES of military force in LIBYA. I could only imagine what a Libyan person, whose neighborhood was being destroyed by US Missiles would say to Fairey if they ever came face to face. It may turn out something like this situation in Denmark where, in fact somebodies house had been destroyed and THE PEOPLE of the house were able to confront FAIREY for ignorantly downsizing the ISSUE in the name of PROFIT. (of course fairey would like for us to think it was an altruistic gesture of peace) Again I don't agree with the violence but DAMN its hard to blame somebody.Our only choice is to use logic to dissolve the DECEPTION.
My wishes are that these revelations of Shepards deceitfulness will 1. Make him reflect and change his ways and 2. Create an informed public who will no longer support Shepard or folks like him who feel it is ok to steal another persons hard work and then call it your own in an effort to create a false narrative around your brand, as in the case of Ed Nachtrieb and his photo of a chinese soilder that Fairey was so inspired by.
A sad but perfect example of the devastating effects of art jacking aka. BITING. Here we witness the Historical context removed, a Watered down message in the name of Cultural Infiltration. These are not signs of a progressing art form.
We now see the Fairey Propaganda Machine trying to modernize its approach by aligning with a struggle that was still alive and well in Denmark. Perhaps it was hard for him to continue to put up imagery of the BLACK PANTHERS while promoting their destruction in Libya. Or promoting CLIMATE CHANGE/CARBON TAX while NASA is releasing data that disproves the ANTHROPOGENIC GLOBAL WARMING MYTH. He would like us to believe that he did zero homework on the Denmark Issues and thus his knowledge was weak. Apparently he didn't even try to reach out to this group of displaced ANARCHISTS before he was paid to play the token street artist, who presumably has STREET CRED and is able to be some sort of community ambassador of PEACE? If he had been genuine in his mission of SOCIAL JUSTICE and had reached out to all parties involved maybe then he would not have been surprised when he was called a yankee hipster and assaulted by some of the very people who he likes to affiliate himself with. That he didn't reach out is emotionally insensitive and the behavior of an egoist/opportunist.
“The city council is using the painting – directly or indirectly – to decorate the crater-like lot at Jagtvej 69,” said local activist Eskil Andreas Halberg in a letter to Modkraft, “The art is being used politically to end the conflict in a certain way: ‘we’re all friends now, right?’” (READ THIS!!!!)
This issue is obviously something close to the heart of people in Denmark. Thus it is not surprising that this was one of the outcomes of Fairey and his interaction with the people there. Apparently while speaking with a concerned blogger in Denmark he got into a "conversation that was heated, but I stayed calm and made my case for the work while debunking the theory that I was paid to do it by the city or that it was "an ad" for my commercial art show (even though it did not contain the word Obey)". I'm not sure how Fairey writes this bullshit with a straight face. I mean there is a big ass ANDRE THE GIANT OBEY face right in the middle of the fucking wall. RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE!! This is an obvious attempt to promote his OBEY BRAND, but again we see him trying to act like some anti capitalist, peace loving, intellect who always take the high road. These backhanded apologies seem to be a weapon of choice for Fairey as we recently saw him apologize to his "friend" of whom he had un-thankfully used a picture of which this "friend" had taken. He used this picture in a gallery show of his without asking. His apology consisted mostly of him boasting about his numerous achievements and saying that while he understands that it is hard to be a underachieving artist like this "friend" of his, it is much harder to be as popular as him. This apology seriously hurt just reading it!
Since this has happened a group of artists representing the demolished home have been allowed to add some of their own thoughts to the wall. While the Fairey's version naively proclaimed the space as one of peace, this group of LOCAL artists realistically memorialized the TRUE VERSION OF THE PAST AND PRESENT STRUGGLE.
This new legal addition to the wall was soon followed by and illegal extinguisher tag. Apparently the animosity is deep at this camp site. All the more reason Fairey should feel embarrassed. He claims that this is all a mistake and that he blindly went into this production. But again I'm thinking that if this is true and he didn't know the surface level issues surrounding the work he is commissioned to do how can any of his work be taken seriously? Is this an admission of his willingness to be a posterboy? I'm not sure what's worse being the posterboy for propaganda or being the designers of the posters?

Sports Entertainment and the MAN/BOY Phenomenom
Alan is speaking very clearly on an important topic. Sports Entertainment has been used to fill the void of Today's man who has had his will castrated by the social engineers. In many ways Sports Entertainment has allowed the BOY to never grow up and thus the MAN only knows games and can never be serious.
ART LAB
YO YO...what it dewski!!! The Hambloggggggggerman is coming at you today because CREATIVITY is with us!!! I had a chance recently to go and check out a local Art Gallery/Collective the other night that goes by the name ARTLAB. Its located up on 35th and Adams. This place is real COOL. It was hella crowded at the show that I went too but I was still able to catch some pictures that I wanted to share with the space travelers that have found there way onto this corner of the HAMBLOGGGOSPHERE!!
The show that was going on consisted of many artists. In the back of the gallery there was a live band playing and folks selling craft...Check out this fresh flask that I got from an artist by the name of PANCHO.
Im gonna have fill this thing up with some tea or something and hit the block like WHOA!!!!
One artist that was shining most intensely at the show was a guy by the name of Roger Penny. Roger has obviously spent many o day behind the brush. His pieces are detailed, colorful, big, provoking, masterful works of art that highlight the architecture of the female body and the surealism of our daily experience. I was stuck on his work for most of the night and have since gone back to further enjoy this exhibit. The way that he maneuvers the paints, offers shading and dimensions that seem to create more then one point of view in the same picture. The effect of this is seriously mind altering.
In his exploration of the Female Body he has seemingly employed similar methods as those used in designing the SPHINX. Once I realized this the importance of this work became for real. It made me think about what type of drawings were going into making the Egyptian Sphinx and Pyramids. I would imagine there drafting rooms were filled with drawings that were similar to Rogers. While standing there looking at his painting I felt the fabric of time was becoming illuminated right in front of me. This feeling was also MIND ALTERING.
This picture above does not do justice to the awesomeness of this sculpture. It is life size and throughout the inside there are stairwells going from the bottom to the top as well as balconies on each floor level. If you were 1 inch tall you could seriously live in her like a castle. This piece is absolutely amazing and If I were you I would go to the ARTLAB today and check it out immediately.
I also ran into this cat by the name of CHARLIE APPLESAUCE out side the gallery . Dude was hella cool and rockin a boom box. He pretty much summed up the night with his friendly demeanor and love for art. Keep doing your thing Charlie!!!

Libyan Rebel Leader Killed by Libyan Rebel a.k.a. LIBYAN REBELS TURN TO CULTURAL CANNIBALISM
"The longer the war drags on, the further eastern Libya appears to slip into lawlessness, raising questions about what kind of Libya could emerge if Gaddafi goes." Reports Rania El Gamal, who is covering the African Conflict for Rueters. This is in response to the news that Abdel Fattah Younes,who is a leader of the "Libyan Rebels" had been assassinated by a person from within their organization. You know that rebel organization, known as The Transitional National Council that "The United States, which like some 30 other nations has formally recognized."
Really though does this surprise anybody? The T.N.C. is admitted Al Qaeda, This is who my representative in Congress felt it necessary to BACK UP so as to maintain a free and prosperous Libya. This is who the President of my Country sees fit to replace Gaddafi and a cause he is so dedicated to he will go back on his oath to the Constitution and thus the people of his country!! Are these Adults really this STUPID????
Of course they are not this stupid. Al Qaeda is a group that was originally created by the C.I.A to fight the Russians. They are now being used by to fight Gaddafi. Just look at the plush treatment they got after 9/11 when they were taxied out of Afghanistan before the U.S.A (Land of the Free) used depleted uranium and other exotic weaponry on the people there. Even though the reason given to the American public for us invading Afghanistan was that Al Qaeda was nesting there, we literally flew them out.
And just in case you start feeling lucky don't forget they have also been used as a tool against the American People.

better grab a sweater cuz its getting cold..aka POLAR BEAR GATEKEEPERS
Charles Monnet was told by the "federal agency where he that he was on leave pending the results of an investigation into "integrity issues." CHARLIE, if i may, is known for his work as "one of the scientists whose observation that several polar bears had drowned in the Arctic Ocean helped galvanize the global warming movement." I WONDER WHAT EVER HIS CRIME OF IMMORALITY COULD BE??
Perhaps something to do with this FORBES article that says that new/old NASA SATELLITE DATA proves that the global warming alarmist, RIGGED,peer reviewed, computer models are, as we already knew, in fact WRONG. And that the Earth is doing just fine releasing access heat when its necessary and that CARBON DIOXIDE has a far less impact on the CLIMATE THEN THEIR FANCY COMPUTERS had predicted, INCORRECTLY PREDICTED I might add.
Here is an article which in they claim the new data simply "makes the skeptics feel good, it irritates the mainstream climate science community, but by this point, the debate over climate policy has nothing to do with science," "It's essentially a debate over the role of government," This sounds a bit extreme to me doesn't it? Is the debate on the science really over? I smell a bit of willful arrogance in this remark. It would be a sad thing for one to let their ego take them out of the game like this.
The truth is the debate is very much on and crackin. Let us not forget that CO2 "exists in Earth's atmosphere as a trace gas at a concentration of 0.039% by volume." The plants breath it in. WE EXHALE IT. We can never let the government get their hands on our right to produce this LIFE GIVING GAS, for that would mean them becoming our puppet masters!!!
WE ARE NOT PUPPETS. WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS. WE HAVE OUR OWN WILL. WE HAVE OUR OWN DESTINY. WE HAVE OUR OWN MINDS!!!

mass graves found in REBEL CONTROLLED LIBYA..
"These rebels have been conducting mass lynchings of black people throughout the first couple weeks and months of this crisis, and I've raised this directly in press conferences and the answer was what, SILENCE."
-Sukant Chandan
I wonder what Susan Davis thinks of when she watches this report and others like it. Does she get a warm fuzzy feeling when she thinks that these are the REBELS that she felt so compelled to assist? MASS GRAVES. Really?? I sincerely hope that she doesn't. But how could one be so naive as to not think this was going to happen. To think that we were supposed to STOP MASS GRAVES only to find ourselves on the side of those DIGGING THEM!!

Blacklisted and Banned and still WINNING! aka. EATING THE HAND THAT FEEDS
In war it is the relentless that win. This is the X factor. To stay focused and steady. To outlast the will of your opponent. This is what wins wars. In the style wars of today it is they who are relentless in their defiance of limitations that WIN. Those who do not bite ,WIN. Those who speak against these crimes of plagiary and arrested states of INTELLIGENCE are the ones that are WINNING. To achieve virtue is to be WINNING. By showing a relentless pursuit for dialogue, debate and weirdness THE PHANTOM STREET ARTIST is winning for sure.
From the get go THE PHANTOM STREET ARTIST has been one of the most OUTSPOKEN critics of the recent STREET ART show at MOCA and not without good reason. There was obvious conflict of interest because of Dietch's/Gastman's portfolio interests. BLU'S mural gettting buffed was a major indication that something wasn't right. Then there was the whole ELI BROAD-MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX/SOCIAL ENGINEERING aspect of the show. THE PHANTOM aka EL FATOM wrote multiple articles,reviews, interviews and preformed in a BUTOH dance party, in an effort to spark debate and shed light onto these TABOO topics. Touching upon all of these subjects with one sentence he says "Their attempt to survey a broad historical movement offers us a lens that is distorted through acts of censorship as well as by sophomoric omissions from both the exhibition’s timelines and its roster of artists. They attempt to fabricate fictitious histories of Graffiti’s true logos without conveying transparency and integrity, and all the while concealing conflicts of interest."
Lucky for us EL FATOM HAS NOT STOPPED!! Over the last month he has had a show running in Portland titled BLACKLISTED AND BANNED. In it he is calling attention once again to the MOCA show and ,in my opinion has taken the dialogue to a whole nother level.
In these continued efforts to expose the ills of this show, and most importantly the fraternization/wall street ideologies that were driving the curatorial decisions which led to censorship and elitism THE PHANTOM STREET ARTIST has employed many techniques. Putting on the hat of the poet he has recently dropped this POETIC jam entitled YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ART IS. (If your in Portland on July 30th check out the live version)
By not letting up on these important issues EL FATOM invokes a spirit of integrity. By employing new means of communication, via PAINT and POETRY, he reminds us that these issues of CENSORSHIP, MIND CONTROL, RACISM, SEXISM and ISISM are all to real to forget about. This APATHETIC forgetfulness has become instinct as we take on the role of a LOBOTOMIZED MOB OF ZOMBIES robbed of THEIR TRUE HISTORY. If allowed to operate on these levels of censorship and still be trusted as a source of artistic leadership, DIETCH and COMPANY could potentially rewrite/writeout anything/anyone that they do not feel jives with their agenda of PROFIT/PLEASURE.
The Hambloggger Man thinks it to be PRETTY DAMN COOL that this show was thrown in PORTLAND. This show needs to be taken all over the country and world. MOCA'S despicable actions of hatred towards PEACE, CONSCIOUSNESS and ART should be exposed and never forgotten about. The people involved should be held accountable and understood to be the enemies of FREE THINKING that they have positioned themselves to be. In this sense the theme behind BLACKLISTED and BANNED is immortal and will gain precedence as time goes on and the truth is revealed. This story will undoubtedly be used to teach many generations to come.

HUMANITARIAN MISSIONARIES LOOT HOSPITALS AND BEAT CIVILIANS...LIBYA ON FIRE
Is anybody surprised by today's headlines that "Libyan Rebels Loot Hospitals and beat Civilians"? Of course most articles that I've read, spin it so that the Rebels are made out to be the victims who have no choice in their fight against Gaddafi. This Human Rights Watch article caused the commotion stating they saw the Rebels loading the stolen goods onto their trucks and that houses continued to be burned. Human Rights Watch seems to have set the apologetic tone that so many of the articles of today expressed.
One unapologetic article that I came across was from Black Star News entitled "Evidence:NATO-backed Libya "Rebels" are clearly terrorists". The author is surely not surprised by these acts of brutality and says that the Rebels really have know choice and that "They know that their only path to power is by the barrel of the gun and NATO bombings; in other words, through terror." Of course it is. They go on to say "NATO should immediately halt the illegal bombardment of Libya. Rather than protecting Libyans, NATO has spread the war throughout the country" and that "NATO should compensate Libya for the deaths of civilians, and for the damage and destruction caused." Now that sounds like a damn fine idea to me!!
This is the fruit of war. Anybody who is surprised by this is naive. The Human Rights article also says that they have documented Gaddafi forces using landmines. This may be true and is also another one of the poisonous fruits of war. The only choice here is to end the WAR. Actually the only choice was to never start in the first place. Many peoples lives have already been ruined by this, many taken so they will not be around for this SECOND, just as important choice. END THE INHUMANITY.
Obama and Company sit around talking about how they are concerned about the DEBT but still continue to dump billions of dollars into CONTINUOUS BOMB DROPPING. There is no way to take these people seriously. Not them or their PUBLIC RELATIONS media outlets that work to manipulate the minds of the people can be trusted in the least bit. How people still to this day drive around with an OBAMA sticker on their car is beyond me. The man orders drone planes to kill people in PAKISTAN and people cheer him on. This is disgusting.
Susan Davis-Killifornia Congresswoman
On June 24,2011 congress was given the opportunity to vote on cutting the funds for Americas involvement in the current invasion/destruction of Libya. To no surprise my representative Susan Davis voted against cutting the funds. As a matter of fact in the same day she voted to authorize an expansion to the U.S. involvement in this WAR. This saddens me greatly.
When I called her office headquarters to get her reasons for doing so I was told by her staff that she trusts Obama and so she stands behind him in his decision. WOW! Is Susan Davis really just a lap dog to the current "Democratic Administration". I would think that as an ADULT and LEADER in our community she would have had a more genuine perspective on such an important issue. Her staff then directed me to the web site for additional information on the topic, but I had already looked on the site and there was nothing on it in regards to Libya. When I told them this they replied "Oh yeah, well this is a recent issue and she hasn't had a chance to post anything". RECENT ISSUE??? REALLY?? 100+ days into the invasion and she has not even a blurb about the issue. Does she really think that this is an acceptable answer?
Now we've seen the reports where innocent civilians in Libya are have been blown up by NATO bombs. SHE SAID NOTHING. We've seen the videos of the "Rebels" racist lynch mobs. SHE SAYS NOTHING. Well why would she? BARRACK "NOBEL PEACE PRIZE"OBAMA has also stayed silent on these issues and since she is following his lead........We now know the stories of Gaddafi's Viagra fueled Rape Gangs are lies. We know that the "Rebels" armies consist of many Al Qaeda who were fighting against the U.S. in Afghanistan and she SAYS NOTHING!! The Air Force Times this week said, that despite Obama saying the U.S. is no longer directly involved in military action there, the fact of the matter is the U.S. has been on over 800 bombing missions since NATO supposedly took the lead. SUSAN PLEASE SAY SOMETHING!!!!
I'm sure she would like for us to believe all these happy WAR MONGERING LIES that her and her friends like to make up. Like the one about no U.S. ground troops. PLEASE!!! I know this game SUSAN. You know damn well that we are gonna go in. Once Gaddafi is killed you will tell us that its no longer a WAR and that we are simply going there to insure DEMOCRACY has a home. YOU WILL TELL US THIS EVEN AS AMERICAN TROOPS ARE BEING KILLED. When this happens know that you are and accessory in this CRIME.
To end this I would like to reach to you SUSAN. Please take another, deeper look at the invasion of LIBYA. Think about all of the lives that you can help to save by speaking up and using your VOICE for PEACE and not continuous non stop war and murder. 10 years into war we see the price of occupation. Our countries economy is falling apart and our culture is becoming numb to violence and emotion. Do you really want to lead us into another situation that will only make these much worse??

Timothy Geithner oversees 3.7 Trillion Dollar national debt increase-King of INFLATION
In case you thought the Treasury Dept. was just sitting around doing nothing about the current economic meltdown you should read this very short but telling article.
"When Geithner took office the total national debt stood at $10.6 trillion. As of June 30, 2011, it had risen to $14.3 trillion." HMMMMM. Wonder how in the heck we are gonna pay that back?? Are we supposed to?
"In fact, the debt accrued under Geithner is greater than all federal debt accrued in the first 204 years of the nation’s history." Tim "Turbo Tax" Geithner must be so proud of himself having set this horrific record. Him coming fresh ooff the job up at the Federal Reserve he proves that he his game is as tight as ever. Continuing in his crews tradition, of exaggerating the nations wealth by inflating it money supply, he now wears the crown as KING OF INFLATION.
"Geithner, who reportedly may step down from his position soon, has overseen the accrual of more federal debt (in only 2.5 years) than every Treasury secretary combined from Alexander Hamilton to Nicholas Brady, who was Treasury secretary in October 1991 when the national debt reached $3.7 trillion." I don't know about you folks but It makes me happy to know that I'm seeing history in the making. NOT!!!
Seriously though it's sad to know that he thinks he is doing a good job and that by his and his families standards he is doing just that. Are we any better off after this huge increase in debt? The only thing I've seen is prices go up on everything because of the watered down value of my CASH. It's not even funny how much one has to pay for a bag of groceries these days. It's no wonder why so many herd into the drive through for cheap genetically modified foods off the DOLLAR MENU!

Obama Lies about U.S. involvement in Libya. (IMPEACH OBAMA)
So Barrack sits there and tells you that he does not even need to speak on the constitutionality of the LIBYA INVASION because we are not in hostilites as the War Power Resoloution defines it. This of course is BULLSHIT and anybody who reads the WPR will know this. However today a new report comes out and says that infact America is and has been engaged in dropping bombs from the get go. Here is the the exact quote from the Air Force Time article.
" U.S. aircraft continue to fly support [ISR and refueling] missions, as well as strike sorties under NATO tasking,” AFRICOM spokeswoman Nicole Dalrymple said in an emailed statement. “As of today, and since 31 March, the U.S. has flown a total of 3,475 sorties in support of OUP. Of those, 801 were strike sorties, 132 of which actually dropped ordnance.”
U.S. involvement in Libya obvioulsy goes far beyond Tactical Support. It involves dropping bombs on hospitals, schools, and any where else they think Gaddafi might be hiding out. My assumption is that after they kill Gaddafi U.S. ground troops will have to go in order to secure DEMOCRACY and Obama will use the excuse that since Gaddafi is dead we don't have to call this a war, simply a humanitarian mission. WILL WE ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN??
IMPEACH OBAMA TODAY!!! and every other congressperson who is pushing his agenda of death!!!

Cynthia Mckinney's first hand account of Libya and Racist Libyan Lynch Mobs.
Peace Activist and former congresswoman Cynthia Mckinney gives eye witness testimony to the NATO invasion of Libya. It takes a lot of courage for her to step in front of the barrel of US led imperialism. Her experience is a critical element to having a broader understanding of the Libyan War then the current war profiteering POP MEDIA can offer. After listening to her first hand account of the daily life in Libya it must be hard for the Obama Apologists to 1. Not call this a war 2. Stand on the side of the publicly lynching "Rebels".
Eyewitness Libya: Cynthia McKinney from PSLweb.org on Vimeo.
Below is the video that she is talking about in which the Libyan "Rebels" lynch a man that they accused of being a African mercenary working for Muammar Gaddafi. According to Cynthia this is not the case, that he was a Libyan national and that this is not an uncommon event these days. In fact she says there has now been a race war unleashed in Libya which was largely fueled by the POP MEDIAS accusations that Gaddafi had hired these African mercenaries, accusations which have turned out to be false. Them saying that it was these particular African Mercenaries that Gaddafi was hiring has caused all darker skinned Libyans to be suspected of being agents. This propaganda is much like the Viagra Rape lies that POP Media have been using to promote their AGENDA OF DEATH.
CAUTION VIDEO IS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC!!

California Congress People Who Voted To End War In Libya
A couple of weeks ago congress voted on pulling out all military assistance from Libya. I thought I should give a nod to all of my Cali Reps that voted yes on HR. 51.
• Xavier Becerra (D-31),John Campbell (R-48),Sam Farr (D-17),Barbara Lee(D-9)
Tom McClintock (R-4),Grace Napolitano (D-38),Laura Richardson (D-37),Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-34),Ed Royce (R-40),Brad Sherman (D-27),Jackie Speier (D-12),Pete Stark (D-13),Maxine Waters (D-35),Lynn Woolsey (D-6).
The highlighted names will send you to videos and articles where these Reps. are individually commenting on Libya. Most of them saying that the President did not have the authority in the first place to start this war. A few of them discuss impeachment as the only option left. I was feeling this video of Tom McClintock!! He lays the case down in a common sense manner while at the same time appealing to a modern sophisticated political philosophy.
The case seems open and shut to me. Obama and his cohorts are working outside of the law. Question is now who will enforce JUSTIICE?

Hotel Killafornia or California Representatives approve bombing Libya
A great many folks woke up today and read the news that NATO forces in Libya had accidentally dropped a bomb on the wrong house over the weekend. Due to "Systems Weapons Failure" a farm was hit and 15 people were killed including three children. This of course puts the already murderous and phony humanitarian agenda of the U.S./Nato war machine further into question.
Curious as to what some of my local politicians thought about the U.S. supported NATO invasion of Libya I came across a couple interesting videos. Apparently not many of my representatives are vibing with me??
Turns out that Mrs. Feinstein is all about these imperialist aggressions. She and some of the other WAR MACHINE components ie. John Kerry, John Mcain are currently working on a resolution to stop bullshiting and give Obama the authority to do whats needed to end the Gadafi regime. DID SHE NOT SEE THIS DEATH OF INNOCENT PEOPLE COMING?
Its probably much easier for her to have this position of tyranny and lawlessness since her sister from another mister Senator Boxer believes in fact that she has already cast her vote and that all of this is to-do about nothing because well as she puts it "What their doing is working". Really IS IT?
Devin Nunes a Congressman/Farmer who worked under G.W.Bush has come out publicly with his support for the NATO HUMANITARIAN/REGIME CHANGE agenda. He seems to resonate with Mrs. Boxer in his feeling that the U.S. should really do all it can. He goes a bit further saying that we should go all the way implying that boots on the ground may be what we need. I WONDER WHAT HE THOUGHT OF TODAYS HEADLINES OF NATO MASSACRE???
Is there any voice of dissent amongst any of my political reps these days? I'm sure there is. I'de like to see Susan Davis take the reins on this one and inject some peace into this awful situation. I'm not sure if she is really hip to the issue though because I was unable to find any quotes on the matter and she doesn't list Libya as one of the areas of "Emerging Threats" on her web site. According to other reports she has floundered the opportunity to question army officials on these sensitive matters.
Barbara Lee starts to make a little a bit of sense when she brings into question the constitutionality of Obama's ability to bring into war the United States as he did. This proves to all be an act though because two seconds later she does a 180 degree turn and says she understands his reasoning based on humanitarian needs. Being that she was put on this fake ass show to falsely represent PEACE the host has to then act like he is disagreeing with her through facial gestures as if his annoyed all the while he is verbaly agreeing with everything she says. REMEMBER 2+2=5.
This is sad. These wars are the indicators of imperialism. The innocent people dying are going to be called collateral damage. We need PEACE. These wars are an obvious failure however we have been programed to believe that they are our destiny. The true success in life is to love and spread knowledge. Be a part of your experience and achieve virtue. This is done through peace, intellect and compassion. These are all free to everybody. If this campaign of hate doesn't stop there will be many more innocent Libyan people killed this is for sure. This is Sad.

Harry Reid speaks on Libya
It would be hard to beat this guy in a match of arrogance. How are people like him running the show. To say that the situation in Libya is going to be over before we know it and that's why one shouldn't be concerned with the legality of the issue is childishly immature at best. To also say that he is ok with this use of deadly force because he would like to see Gaddafi out wreaks of imperialism. The smirk on his face indicts him of being a heartless bastard. WHEN WILL THIS STOP?

Hate to sound cliche but this movie bout KIDULT GOES HARD AS FUCK!!!
Good looking on the behalf of NotVeryLoud for turning me onto this video. This the type of shit Im gonna be having my little kiddies watch on Saturday mornings! Kidult holding it down for humanity and handstyles.
I gotta give props to the producers of this documentary. Through real time videography and a grimey soundtrack the makers were able to convey a true sense of being in the moment and really got my adrenaline pumping. The omnipotent dialogue covers subject matter that is sure to tickles ones own philosophy and behind the scenes footage truly makes this movie one for the history books.
We HEAR at the HAMBLOGGGER fully appreciate any and all attempts to dismantle the hypermaterialistic state of mind that not only threatens me on a daily basis but will undoubtedly stalk the children of me as well. If we don't stand up to this attempt to replace our humanity with a barcode then we are already bought and paid for. There is no trend that can substitute integrity. No fad that can nurture wisdom. The later of these are characteristics of ye who shall keep it fuckin real.

Police State Shakedown **REMIXXXX 2011's HOTTEST SUMMER DANCE MOVIE
Peep the Hamblogggerman video super dance hall funk remix. BOOOYAHH!!! Dedicated to all my dance floor wreckers!!!
Ground Troops in Libya
About two thirds the way through this broadcast he casually mentions the fact that foreign troops are on the ground helping out the rebel "opposition". He says they seem to be British but offers no evidence so I'm not sure why he thinks this. One thing for sure is he stands out in this crowd.
This is the how the beginning of an occupation looks. I know some people who supported this supposed "humanitarian mission" did so under the pretenses that it was to not include troops on the ground. I assume these troops could just as easily be American.

Police State Shakedown! Starring Adam Kokesh and the Freedom's Fresh Dance Krew!!
Looking at your child and telling them that they live in free country has never been harder for people in the U.S.A. The police state is in full swing working overtime in an attempt to insure their "tactical position" of full spectrum dominance. Knowing that any threat to their position must be met with the same force of tyranny we see the POLICE inflict pain and violence upon the citizens who choose to exorcise their rights in a peaceful manner.
In the videos below this is demonstrated by police arresting, pushing, slamming, punching a group of people who had gathered at the Thomas Jefferson memorial to protest against a recent ban that was upheld which prohibits dancing on site.
Exactly how do you go home and look yourself in mirror after you've spent the day beating up people dancing. I can't imagine that it is any easier, for these cops to lie to their family by telling them that the country they live in is free, then it is for the other group of people who witnessed this act of police state oppression. In fact it's probably much harder for these individual officers to deal with the lie! I mean when is the last time you've seen a happy cop?
We hear at the hamblogggerman stand in full solidarity with our brothers and sisters that choose to dance instead of walk into the future. The world was a stage now its a dance floor and there aint no parking on it. Big shot out to all the human beings holding it down for the rhythm of peace and expression.

Detroit police kill 7 year old with flash bomb while taping t.v. episode
I had always instinctively felt that the T.V show "Cops" and those like it were degrading to humanity. Since getting arrested can be quite a stressful experience, and the police know this, I think its really messed up to add cameras and spotlights to draw the whole neighborhoods attention. Another thing is that they never show anybody being arrested for any high $ crimes like extortion or bribery or fraud, making it seem like the only crimes being committed are by drug dealers, drunks, or drama queens. After hearing about this latest killing of a seven year old girl during a police raid that was being filmed for a show called "First 48" in Detroit I can see even better why using criminal investigations for entertainment is truly a morbid act.
Everybody who has stood in front of a camera knows that when you do its as if all of the eyes of everybody who is ever going to watch the tape are on you at that exact moment. This will cause you to step your game up or choke under the pressure. So now think about what these cops must be going through. Already under the stress caused by having to arrest somebody imagine how much more is put on them because they are under the spot light. Can anybody really say that it doesn't affect the cops performance? Of course it does.
We all know what sells T.V. shows and its not scenes where a Cop politely knocks on a door and calmly asks some investigative questions. NO! Its scenes where cops are busting through doors, mowing down people with their cars, or perhaps tasering somebody. BLOOD AND CUSS WORDS are what sell cop shows. Beat downs and car chases get sponsers. So naturally as the stars of these shows the COPS involved are going to dramatize these events. In this case in detroit where Aiyana Jones was murdered the cops involved did exactly just that. Throwing a flash bang into somebodies house seems a bit over the top especially when the front door was open and their are kids knowingly in the house. Then firing a gun when they have not even been threatened with harm. This is criminal negligence and the presence of these cameras onsite needs to be looked at seriously.
Cops already have issues with their self esteem. Seems like they are always trying to show you who is boss while they huff and puff and stick their chest out making sure that they don't look like a pussy. Can you imagine how much this is increased when they think that their entire unit will be watching them on T.V. I think we are giving way to much credit to the people involved with these shows, that by the way are making boatloads of money, by believing they are able to give a balance report or that their program's agenda is not in any way perverting justice. This is totally naive.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Sucks or ARNOLD THE CHEAT
In case anyone had any doubts that Arnold was number SCUMBAG #1 let us beginith to talk some serious shit.
In case Arnold rockin Nazi belt buckles wasn't enough. In case Arnold groping over a dozen woman didn't seal the deal. In case him cutting a murder sentence in half on his last day in office wasn't icing on the cake of inhumanity. These just being a few of the ingredients in this poor excuse for a MAN, but if they weren't enough we now know that Arnold cheated on his wife with a maid, at the same time his wife was pregnant with their child, got the maid pregnant. The maid has the baby and continues to work for the family but keeps it a secret that Arnold is the father. DAMN!!!! That is serious about as low as you can go man!!! NO lower. Thats It. Arnold you are seriously a PIECE OF SHIT!!! That's it man. END OF STORY
Its obvious that Arnold is and has been morally bankrupt for some time. At this rate you have to wonder if this is accidental? Is he trying to shed himself of all dignity and honor in hopes of securing his seat next to the devil! Most likely. This sick bastard must think everybody is really fucking stupid. How did this stay under the wraps for so long?
Alot of people will shrug this off and say "what are you surprised" or "well at least he didn't rape her" and then go on with their daily routine. Well truth is im not surprised and I'm very much glad he didn't rape her but these are not the issues.
Arnold was compromised. You can be sure as shit a lot of people knew about this. Most importantly the people who Arnold was working for. The Enron People, The Global Warming People, The Kennedy's etc. all of these people knew this and would have used it to get Arnold to bend to their will. This is typical operating protocol. He was allowed to keep his acting job, his family life, moved into a position of power and did everything that he was asked to by his puppet masters. We now see the strings that make the puppet dance.
And let me reiterate this ARNOLD YOUR A PIECE OF SHIT!! You got a kid out in this world growing up without a dad. How many times did you look at this child and disown him to his face. You robbed him of what are probably happiest time of his life, being a kid for your own selfish gain. There is not much more that I can wish upon your pathetic soul so I won't, but don't think for a moment I am not basking in the knowledge that your life is becoming a living hell. You have this and much coming to you for all of your treacherous, deceitful, hypocritical doings.
The real test will now be put forth to the people who idolize this asshole. Will they live up to what many of these so called experts are saying and continue to support him in his career. This would not be unlike people who still support Tiger Woods. These guys are NO HEROS. THEY SHOULD BE PROTESTED and called out for their CHILDISH behavior. They should be outcast from the tribe for promoting this type of behavior which works to break up the house and turn every person into an orphan.
No real man would treat their family the way these guys do theirs. At a time like this we should take a moment to sit back and think about that. Those Fathers, Husbands, Men in the world who hold it down for their fam and keep it real with themselves don't ever get the credit or recognition for doing so. These however are the true HEROS.

GOD BLESS NATIONAL SECURITY or JUST ANOTHER FAITH BASED RELEGION!!!
This isn’t about a Photo. This is about National Security trumping the scientific method.
Osama’s body should have been brought back to the United States and had multiple tests done to verify that is him. These tests should have been done by both private and public sector people. This could have easily happened! Without verification from a non-governmental agency the PEOPLE are being asked to place FAITH in their leaders.
Tell me Do you have Faith in these LEADERS??
The War Machine is trying to hype up this photo issue so that when they do finally release it, which I believe they will, all of the debate as to wither or not the government is being transparent will be done with. A photo is not evidence. The body was the evidence and they threw that away. Isn’t this against the LAW.
Apparently the LAW means nothing to the ones running the show. But for the PULIC its don’t pay your taxes/ticket and you go to jail. Have a drink then drive and its jail. Get caught with some dope and its jail.
THESE GUYS MURDER AND THEN DITCH THE BODY and we're supposed to think its all good. GOD BLESS NATIONAL SECURITY aka. JUST ANOTHER FAITH BASED RELEGION!!!

NATO TARGETS GADAFFI CRIB or UNIQUE CAPABILITIES TO KILL
NATO drops bombs on the dudes house and then says they aren't trying to kill him. It's really hard to imagine how anybody can watch this and not get the feeling like they are being treated like a two year old.
The pictures of these blown up neighborhoods is so fucking sad. You can see how this is going to turn into another Iraq. Wouldn't be surprised if after a couple more months and intensified bombing Gadaffi has to go underground at which point we find him hiding some underground bunker. Then we will start to see the pictures of Libyan kids wandering the streets huffing glue. The effects of having their family killed in a drone attack.
reaching new lows in humanity the military industrial complex continues to massacre with a straight face.
people in my hood popping xanex at the gas station with a straight face.

The Day I Fell In Love With L.A. or PROTESTING WITH THE HAMBLOGGGERMAN
5:00 am. April 16 2011
Its early. Stayed up late working on protest flier. I should be tired but my adrenaline is already pumping. I wake up the wifey, whose gonna give us a ride to greyhound, then go to the kitchen and make some coffee. Turn on the light in the living room where Pauly Nade slept on the couch. He pulls himself up and grabs the bubbler. The party begins, CAMP TRASHED STYLEE!
We make it to downtown San Diego with plenty of time to kill. We buy our tickets then hit the block. Must have been a good party last night cause the streets of downtown are quite. Across the street from the station there's a new Federal Courthouse being built and next to that is a Federal Prison. What better place to smoke some weed. My cousin Josh gave me a pinche the other day so i figure we are good. (For those who don't know a Pinche is one of those sneak-a-tokes that looks like a cigarette, it's short for pincher) We walk the couple blocks around it and don't see one guard. I wonder whose checking in who in this GHOST TOWN? We burn the hour then head back to the greyhound.
10:00 am
Woke up in Long Beach. More people get off then on. The people in front of us get off so Nade moves up. We take off. Bout an hour till we get to LA. The guy in back of me is talking really loud so I could hear him over everybody else. At first it sounded like he might be handling some legit business. Then I started to hear something about his "team" was doing good. Then he started to refer to this "team" as "bitches". Hmmm. Next call and he's setting up an appointment and discusses prices. It becomes obvious this guy was literally pimping out of the back of a greyhound bus, and they say it ain't easy. Anyways that's the greyhound for you. You can meet some cool folks but you can also sometimes see some pretty sad shit.
We drive over the now blank LA RIVER into the greyhound terminal. Jump off the bus and land on 7th. Beautiful day for a protest. I pack the pinche. Neither me or my friend Nade are fluent in Los ANGELESE nor do we know our way around this town. All I know is that the museum is in a place called Little Tokyo. We decide our best bet is to head for the tall buildings just off in the distance.
11:45
We get about 5 blocks down 7th and the area is starting to look a little grimy. There is a gang of trash on the street. On the side streets I start to see some homeless camps. A couple more blocks and I pass this 250+ lb. lady in a spandex dress, with a thick layer of make up on her sweaty face, limping across the street. We walk past a pile of human poop. Is this somebodies idea of STREET ART? Some guys on the corner are selling drugs to a crackhead. We keep it moving. Another block and we pass a building with a Freemason seal and OES seal across from what looks to be a cop shop. HMMM. Another block down I see a throw up and next to it says SKID ROW.
We push on through to the Fashion District. There are people sewing everywhere in the storefronts. Nade says he's hungry and wants a Burrito and Beer. I've decided that as part of my protest today I will be staging a hunger strike. I wanna stay on my toes and eating will only slow me down, but BEER on the other is a just the type of carbs I need. The sugar will give me lots of energy and the hops will take the edge off what may potentially be a tense situation.
12:15
Weve been walking for blocks and the only taco shops we can find don't sell BEER? We ask the locals but none can tell us where one is. They seem as surprised as us when they realize that they don't know of any. As if they just went to one the other day but can't remember where it is. STRANGE? There are still a lot of homeless people mixed in with all the seamsters and fashionista's looking for something new. Some dude skips by with no shoes, dirty as a the cellar, with a pink fluffy boa and some busted ass pair of highwaters. Nobody else seems to notice him as he fairy skips right past them. I'm thinking folks down here must be used to this type of behavior. AWESOME!
We get out the fashion and push into downtown. There's gotta be a place around here to help us out. Heat, Hunger Strike and lack of fluids got's me feeling dizzy. People in costumes start to show up all around us. Marathon numbers are hanging from their costumes. The thought of running makes me hot. Peoples faces are starting to LOOK strange. I think the fumes from all the cars are starting to suffocate me. How are these people running a marathon in this maddness? The answer to that is DUBLIN'S.
Like an Oasis in the desert this well spring of beer named Dublin's appeared. A cool little Irish Pub with way too many tv's and a very nice selection of alcohol. Me and Nade slide into some seats at the bar. I decide to see what a San Diego beer tastes like when drunk in LA so I get a Ballast Point Big Eye IPA. We do the beer chant then proceed to victoriously drink. First one goes right through me. On the way back from the bathroom I run into a pack of the girl runners. When I ask about the marathon they laugh and tell me it's a scavenger hunt not a marathon. SCAVENGER HUNT IN DOWNTOWN LA. WORD! Back at the bar Nade's decided in the name of adventure we should keep all bars to a 2 drink minimum and since Dublin's doesn't sell food til later we finish the second beer and head out. One of the runners is dressed like a big weed leaf so I get a picture with her. NICE!
Totally refreshed we make it about 2 blocks till we find Mas Malos! From the front it looks like it might be some busted ass place. You walk in and its like you stepped into some 20's jazz club. Vaulted ceilings with all types of ill crown molding. Mirrors all the way up and like a 40 ft bar. Bartender is Chris. I get an organic margarita and Nade gets something and a burrito. Burrito is massive. Margarita is the best Ive ever had NO JOKE. SPENDY but TASTY! Chris asks what brings us to LA and we tell him about the protest. He knows all about it. He was not happy bout the BLU buff job and was pumped to see us. Next we drink some Bloody Maria's. Nade gets a call from his friend in town who has a hotel up the street. He gives Nade an address and Chris,being the swell guy that he is, draws us a map on how to get there. Having reached our 2 drink max we say our goodbyes and slide back into the strees of LA.....
2:30pm
The parks in LA are home to some interesting people. There seemed to be people from all walks of life here. One park in particular we went to was a real trip. Next to families playing on the swings would be some wino passed out. Then on the bench some guy would be reading and on the next bench some homeless man just staring into space talking to himself. All of it being watched over by a security guard. It was all a bit surreal. The type of park you can go eat lunch at but at the same time might catch or a shank to the stomach. Despite its diverse human ecosystem we decide it is not cool to smoke at so we bounce.
3:15pm
Wandering through the LA. Its crazy how the transvestite crackheads and the downtown business people move in harmony with each other. The city is crawling with dope fiends and well dressed people on cell phones. Seemingly out of nowhere pops up MOCA building number 2. A man is standing in front of it with his family. I ask him if he is a human being. He says yes. NICE! He asks me if I am. OF COURSE. I tell him we are on assignment covering the art show and were protesting the censorship. His family laughs cause he was just telling them about it. Apparently he is a local artist who had worked with MOCA and had some things censored while working with the museum. WHOA! He wishes us luck and says that if we are interested in corruption we should check out the Disney building across the way. Somehow as we were walking over there we got sidetracked and ended up heading back into downtown.
4:00 pm
My friend Adrian calls me. He is driving around downtown LA. He swoops me and Nade up and takes us to his loft where he runs his clothing business. We drink a bottle of champagen, twist a couple blunts and proceed to shoot breeze. Adrian listens to my protest and gives me some good criticisms. He says that he can drive us down to the MOCA whenever. He kicks me down some gear and then we jet.
5:30pm
Walking up to MOCA my adrenaline starts to pump. There is a crowd already outside. First person I see as I'm walking across the street is Risk so I ask if he has a second to talk. He is all ears. After voicing my concerns about the censorship I tell him that because America is currently leading at least 4 wars I didn't think that this was a good time to be downsizing the issue of war. He agreed that killing people was not a good thing and thanked me for being concerned. He shook my hand and then kindly excused himself. That Risk was the first person that the universe sent my way was in my opinion a good omen.
An hour goes by and the crowd of people is swelling up. At random I'm picking people out of the crowd and handing them a flier which was titled "The HamblogggerMan's guide to Art In the Streets ". Being that 3 out of 4 people would take one I ran out of my first stack pretty quick. Not only were they taking them but a lot of folks were stopping and talking to me about the protest. Most of the people that I spoke with had already known about the BLU CENSORSHIP situation so I figured it must have received a lot of local coverage. Some agreed with me others argued on behalf of the museum, but either way everybody was very respectful of my right to voice my opinion. All the PEOPLE at this show were HELLA COOL. Knowing that the party just began me and Nade ran up to staples to get some more copies of the flier.
We get back to the spot and there are now people everywhere. It's a warm southern cali night, the air was crisp and my mind was fluid. The perfect conditions to get pumped for another round of chanting down the military industrial complex. This time though I figure I need to get more attention so I start yelling out "BLUUUUUU. BLUUUU." Like he was my lost kid or pet dog. People were bugging out not knowing if the should try and help me out! Some little kids came walking by with their parents and started yelling "BLUUUU" These are the burgers of the future...FRESH! The mobile mural lab would routinely come up and park in front of the museum which was cool because it had a dope TEMPT piece on the side of it. People were now hanging everywhere inside and outside the museum. A huge graffiti show was going on and NO BEEF! This was pretty damn cool I must say.
7:45
Round this point I see somebody dressed in a wedding dress covered in white make up and powder. They are creeping up the front walkway. They look old and hunchback. Very witch like. Their eyes are bulging and completely black. They circle around me a couple times chanting what seems like some sort of voodoo spells. The hunger strike mixed with the adrenaline and alcohol inside me were starting to produce some interesting visual effects. Slowly it starts walking up to me. I'm trying to play it cool and hand out some more fliers but this person is crazy looking. Finally about 2 ft from me it put out its hand and introduced itself as "The Phantom Street Artist."
9:00
I'm not sure how many thousands of people have walked by but soon agian I was almost out of fliers. The Phantom, who is actually dressed up like Jeffery Deitche's wife, has been creeping around the front of the museum for a while. I've asked a few hundred people if they've seen BLU. The Phantom leaves and says we should roll through to Senor Fish. Me and Nade are posted up on the stairs for a few just watching. I decide its a good time to break the fast so I eat some fungus that I brought. Talk about a POWER UP. Pass them to Nade then get to looking for BLU! I think I might be starting to annoy some people with all my yelling. GOOD. Enough fun. I close my eyes and see the dollar draped coffins. I open them and see America partying. I realize I haven't been to the other side where the BLU mural actually was so me and Nade pack up and head around back. There are some candles burning in remembrance. We burn a blunt and listen to Los Angeles. The sky is black and purple. Cop sirens sing past us. Some people in the parking lot are drinking and smoking. I feel good about the protest but there is something missing?
!0:30
We meet up with El Fatom in the back of the bar where his crew his hanging. He is no longer in costume but rather he is wearing a clean ass jogging suit with a matching b-boy hat. Im amazed at how quickly he cleaned up. We talk for a sec about the party and he introduces us to his friends. Everybody is hanging the vibe is relaxed, but inside of me is a whole nother story. Protesting cultural imperialism has stimulated my nervous system to a point of blast off. Throughout the protest my level of energy continually grew. Each person I spoke with charged my battery a little bit more. This made it easy during the the protest to talk to any and every person but something in me had changed and in the state of mind I was in now it was hard for me to talk to anybody because all I wanted to do was SCREAM. There was this feeling of frustration building inside of me. I didn't understand this feeling? Hadn't I been successful in my mission? I made it to LA. I found BEER. I kicked it with the fam. MY VOICE WAS HEARD. What was left?
I had spoke with Joe B. on the phone one time but this was the first we had met in person. He had a friendly handshake and and wore an intellectuals smile. He still had some remnants of his powdery costume on and in the low lights of the bar he took on an angelic look. We spoke about the exhibit and other things going on in the LA. His low voice was comforting to me and was helping me to mellow out. He started to tell me about some of his travels and the influence that street art has in different places. This brought us back to the BLU mural.
Until now I didn't know that there was a federal building across the street literally towering over the MOCA wall. All the media that I had heard prior to the show had not pointed this out as perhaps one of the groups that might be offend. Being that these guys are the ones pushing the wars I could see how this mural might make them uneasy. When Joe referred to the wall as a reflection I immediately understood. The image of a FEDERAL somebody standing in their window,looking out over at BLU painting a mural, of what to them would look like a big middle finger, all the sudden became very clear in my inner minds eye. A reflection indeed. Of all the reasons why Blu's mural should of stayed it was this one. Too often the people on top don't ever have to look at themselves in the mirror. They have people who do that for them, but if every day your sitting in your office looking out over your empire and their is a huge banner that calls out your murdering treacherous ways, you might start to think about what your doing. Joe was right in pointing out that this is the power of the wall. The wall can be a reflection. I was amazed that this was the first time I had heard this connection mentioned. It was getting late and I had gained a deeper understanding for the situation. I felt like It was time to go so we say our goodbyes and once again find ourselves on the concrete paths of LA's urban jungle....
12:00
We realized we just missed the last greyhound. FUCK. We are wandering around little tokyo. I'm thirsty. That feeling in my stomach, even though relaxed a bit now was still present. I start to realize what it is. I wanted to talk to more people in the show. As a journalist I had not done my duty in successfully getting any inside information. I was an outsider and I felt like one. We find a bench and talk about getting a hotel. Sounds expensive. I say lets get a drink. The feeling is weighing me down. The streets are still filled with people. Adrian texts me some hotels addy's. We decide to walk some more. We get about a block then I realize I left the drawing Phantom gave me on the bench so we head back. Can't believe I almost left it. This feeling is overtaking my mind. We start walking up the block when across the street I see Saber walking by.
He is walking quickly. I yell out his name. He looks over and and smiles. I ask if he has a moment to talk about the show. He says yeah but not much cause his fam is waiting. Me and Nade start to walk across the street and he greets us both with a handshake. He seems genuinely happy to talk to us and asks if we went to the show. I told him that I would have liked to go in but that I was protesting MOCA because of them painting over the BLU mural. He laughed and said he had heard me yelling outside. He said it was cool though and that he was going through the same issues with the city buffing his murals. He said wasn't happy with Blu's mural getting buffed but that he was going to do everything he could to keep GRAFFITI ART alive and that he wouldn't let something like that stop him. He took time to break down the dynamics of the business as he saw it and positive things that he wanted to do. He spoke with a passion that I rarely see people speak with. It's like when you hear somebody lying and you just know there lying, except the exact opposite. He was telling the truth and I knew it. We talked about some other art stuff, including this blog of which he was so kind to give some painfully helpful advice. He then shook our hands and wished us luck. A true gentlemen.
1:00
The knot in my stomach is gone. I feel like I can breath. My thoughts are starting flow fluidly again. In the place of frustration I feel accomplished. The streets are still pulsing with life. I get a call from Adrian who was checking the bus schedule. Next one is 2:30. COOl. Me and Nade find a bar to go into it for a drink. The band is playing some thrash punk. Its perfect. I order 2 stones but get 2 stellas. FUCK IT. Every drink is love. The guitar feedback is ear piercing. I'm in ecstasy. Mission accomplished. Story got. Protest handled. People friended. Tree smoked and drank drank.
Get to the greyhound with enough time for one more blunt. Nade twists it up and we relax on the bench out front. A Rasta man named Tony comes up and joins our session. Dude is jolly. We speak on the tree game and fractional reserve banking. He says all one must do in life to be free is declare their own sovereignty. In the next hit I do just that. He is a refreshing experience and testimony that you can meet cool folks on the bus. we finish that say our goodbyes and jump back up on bus. SOUTH BOUND.
Its early. Stayed up late working on protest flier. I should be tired but my adrenaline is already pumping. I wake up the wifey, whose gonna give us a ride to greyhound, then go to the kitchen and make some coffee. Turn on the light in the living room where Pauly Nade slept on the couch. He pulls himself up and grabs the bubbler. The party begins, CAMP TRASHED STYLEE!
We make it to downtown San Diego with plenty of time to kill. We buy our tickets then hit the block. Must have been a good party last night cause the streets of downtown are quite. Across the street from the station there's a new Federal Courthouse being built and next to that is a Federal Prison. What better place to smoke some weed. My cousin Josh gave me a pinche the other day so i figure we are good. (For those who don't know a Pinche is one of those sneak-a-tokes that looks like a cigarette, it's short for pincher) We walk the couple blocks around it and don't see one guard. I wonder whose checking in who in this GHOST TOWN? We burn the hour then head back to the greyhound.
10:00 am
Woke up in Long Beach. More people get off then on. The people in front of us get off so Nade moves up. We take off. Bout an hour till we get to LA. The guy in back of me is talking really loud so I could hear him over everybody else. At first it sounded like he might be handling some legit business. Then I started to hear something about his "team" was doing good. Then he started to refer to this "team" as "bitches". Hmmm. Next call and he's setting up an appointment and discusses prices. It becomes obvious this guy was literally pimping out of the back of a greyhound bus, and they say it ain't easy. Anyways that's the greyhound for you. You can meet some cool folks but you can also sometimes see some pretty sad shit.
We drive over the now blank LA RIVER into the greyhound terminal. Jump off the bus and land on 7th. Beautiful day for a protest. I pack the pinche. Neither me or my friend Nade are fluent in Los ANGELESE nor do we know our way around this town. All I know is that the museum is in a place called Little Tokyo. We decide our best bet is to head for the tall buildings just off in the distance.
11:45
We get about 5 blocks down 7th and the area is starting to look a little grimy. There is a gang of trash on the street. On the side streets I start to see some homeless camps. A couple more blocks and I pass this 250+ lb. lady in a spandex dress, with a thick layer of make up on her sweaty face, limping across the street. We walk past a pile of human poop. Is this somebodies idea of STREET ART? Some guys on the corner are selling drugs to a crackhead. We keep it moving. Another block and we pass a building with a Freemason seal and OES seal across from what looks to be a cop shop. HMMM. Another block down I see a throw up and next to it says SKID ROW.
We push on through to the Fashion District. There are people sewing everywhere in the storefronts. Nade says he's hungry and wants a Burrito and Beer. I've decided that as part of my protest today I will be staging a hunger strike. I wanna stay on my toes and eating will only slow me down, but BEER on the other is a just the type of carbs I need. The sugar will give me lots of energy and the hops will take the edge off what may potentially be a tense situation.
12:15
Weve been walking for blocks and the only taco shops we can find don't sell BEER? We ask the locals but none can tell us where one is. They seem as surprised as us when they realize that they don't know of any. As if they just went to one the other day but can't remember where it is. STRANGE? There are still a lot of homeless people mixed in with all the seamsters and fashionista's looking for something new. Some dude skips by with no shoes, dirty as a the cellar, with a pink fluffy boa and some busted ass pair of highwaters. Nobody else seems to notice him as he fairy skips right past them. I'm thinking folks down here must be used to this type of behavior. AWESOME!
We get out the fashion and push into downtown. There's gotta be a place around here to help us out. Heat, Hunger Strike and lack of fluids got's me feeling dizzy. People in costumes start to show up all around us. Marathon numbers are hanging from their costumes. The thought of running makes me hot. Peoples faces are starting to LOOK strange. I think the fumes from all the cars are starting to suffocate me. How are these people running a marathon in this maddness? The answer to that is DUBLIN'S.
Like an Oasis in the desert this well spring of beer named Dublin's appeared. A cool little Irish Pub with way too many tv's and a very nice selection of alcohol. Me and Nade slide into some seats at the bar. I decide to see what a San Diego beer tastes like when drunk in LA so I get a Ballast Point Big Eye IPA. We do the beer chant then proceed to victoriously drink. First one goes right through me. On the way back from the bathroom I run into a pack of the girl runners. When I ask about the marathon they laugh and tell me it's a scavenger hunt not a marathon. SCAVENGER HUNT IN DOWNTOWN LA. WORD! Back at the bar Nade's decided in the name of adventure we should keep all bars to a 2 drink minimum and since Dublin's doesn't sell food til later we finish the second beer and head out. One of the runners is dressed like a big weed leaf so I get a picture with her. NICE!
Totally refreshed we make it about 2 blocks till we find Mas Malos! From the front it looks like it might be some busted ass place. You walk in and its like you stepped into some 20's jazz club. Vaulted ceilings with all types of ill crown molding. Mirrors all the way up and like a 40 ft bar. Bartender is Chris. I get an organic margarita and Nade gets something and a burrito. Burrito is massive. Margarita is the best Ive ever had NO JOKE. SPENDY but TASTY! Chris asks what brings us to LA and we tell him about the protest. He knows all about it. He was not happy bout the BLU buff job and was pumped to see us. Next we drink some Bloody Maria's. Nade gets a call from his friend in town who has a hotel up the street. He gives Nade an address and Chris,being the swell guy that he is, draws us a map on how to get there. Having reached our 2 drink max we say our goodbyes and slide back into the strees of LA.....
2:30pm
The parks in LA are home to some interesting people. There seemed to be people from all walks of life here. One park in particular we went to was a real trip. Next to families playing on the swings would be some wino passed out. Then on the bench some guy would be reading and on the next bench some homeless man just staring into space talking to himself. All of it being watched over by a security guard. It was all a bit surreal. The type of park you can go eat lunch at but at the same time might catch or a shank to the stomach. Despite its diverse human ecosystem we decide it is not cool to smoke at so we bounce.
3:15pm
Wandering through the LA. Its crazy how the transvestite crackheads and the downtown business people move in harmony with each other. The city is crawling with dope fiends and well dressed people on cell phones. Seemingly out of nowhere pops up MOCA building number 2. A man is standing in front of it with his family. I ask him if he is a human being. He says yes. NICE! He asks me if I am. OF COURSE. I tell him we are on assignment covering the art show and were protesting the censorship. His family laughs cause he was just telling them about it. Apparently he is a local artist who had worked with MOCA and had some things censored while working with the museum. WHOA! He wishes us luck and says that if we are interested in corruption we should check out the Disney building across the way. Somehow as we were walking over there we got sidetracked and ended up heading back into downtown.
4:00 pm
My friend Adrian calls me. He is driving around downtown LA. He swoops me and Nade up and takes us to his loft where he runs his clothing business. We drink a bottle of champagen, twist a couple blunts and proceed to shoot breeze. Adrian listens to my protest and gives me some good criticisms. He says that he can drive us down to the MOCA whenever. He kicks me down some gear and then we jet.
5:30pm
Walking up to MOCA my adrenaline starts to pump. There is a crowd already outside. First person I see as I'm walking across the street is Risk so I ask if he has a second to talk. He is all ears. After voicing my concerns about the censorship I tell him that because America is currently leading at least 4 wars I didn't think that this was a good time to be downsizing the issue of war. He agreed that killing people was not a good thing and thanked me for being concerned. He shook my hand and then kindly excused himself. That Risk was the first person that the universe sent my way was in my opinion a good omen.
An hour goes by and the crowd of people is swelling up. At random I'm picking people out of the crowd and handing them a flier which was titled "The HamblogggerMan's guide to Art In the Streets ". Being that 3 out of 4 people would take one I ran out of my first stack pretty quick. Not only were they taking them but a lot of folks were stopping and talking to me about the protest. Most of the people that I spoke with had already known about the BLU CENSORSHIP situation so I figured it must have received a lot of local coverage. Some agreed with me others argued on behalf of the museum, but either way everybody was very respectful of my right to voice my opinion. All the PEOPLE at this show were HELLA COOL. Knowing that the party just began me and Nade ran up to staples to get some more copies of the flier.
We get back to the spot and there are now people everywhere. It's a warm southern cali night, the air was crisp and my mind was fluid. The perfect conditions to get pumped for another round of chanting down the military industrial complex. This time though I figure I need to get more attention so I start yelling out "BLUUUUUU. BLUUUU." Like he was my lost kid or pet dog. People were bugging out not knowing if the should try and help me out! Some little kids came walking by with their parents and started yelling "BLUUUU" These are the burgers of the future...FRESH! The mobile mural lab would routinely come up and park in front of the museum which was cool because it had a dope TEMPT piece on the side of it. People were now hanging everywhere inside and outside the museum. A huge graffiti show was going on and NO BEEF! This was pretty damn cool I must say.
7:45
Round this point I see somebody dressed in a wedding dress covered in white make up and powder. They are creeping up the front walkway. They look old and hunchback. Very witch like. Their eyes are bulging and completely black. They circle around me a couple times chanting what seems like some sort of voodoo spells. The hunger strike mixed with the adrenaline and alcohol inside me were starting to produce some interesting visual effects. Slowly it starts walking up to me. I'm trying to play it cool and hand out some more fliers but this person is crazy looking. Finally about 2 ft from me it put out its hand and introduced itself as "The Phantom Street Artist."
9:00
I'm not sure how many thousands of people have walked by but soon agian I was almost out of fliers. The Phantom, who is actually dressed up like Jeffery Deitche's wife, has been creeping around the front of the museum for a while. I've asked a few hundred people if they've seen BLU. The Phantom leaves and says we should roll through to Senor Fish. Me and Nade are posted up on the stairs for a few just watching. I decide its a good time to break the fast so I eat some fungus that I brought. Talk about a POWER UP. Pass them to Nade then get to looking for BLU! I think I might be starting to annoy some people with all my yelling. GOOD. Enough fun. I close my eyes and see the dollar draped coffins. I open them and see America partying. I realize I haven't been to the other side where the BLU mural actually was so me and Nade pack up and head around back. There are some candles burning in remembrance. We burn a blunt and listen to Los Angeles. The sky is black and purple. Cop sirens sing past us. Some people in the parking lot are drinking and smoking. I feel good about the protest but there is something missing?
