The grievance panel in Concord has its final hearing regarding the criminal judge John P. Arnold of Cheshire “superior” court on 7/10 at 9:30am in the Legislative Office Building in Concord.
Here’s a facebook event for your convenience.
Yesterday on my way home from work, I saw a sticker on the back of a green minivan that stated: Proud Parent of a Soldier. As I drove behind this vehicle for several miles, I wondered if this parent actually understood just what message he or she was sending. My mind kept seeing dead Afghani, Iraqi, Pakistani, etc…men, women and children lying dead in the streets and in hospitals. My mind also went to the pictures of American soldiers gleefully urinating on dead Afghanis, the horrid Wikileaks video of the helicopter crew excitedly gunning down men, the torture and sexual abuse of Abu Ghraib, the burning of Korans. I know that I am not the only one who interprets nationalistic messages this way.
However, let me be clear. I once was a member of the US military and I once interpreted these nationalistic messages with visions of the American flag, the bald eagle, Stars & Stripes, the pledge of allegiance, and the list goes on and on! I would hear the national anthem and tears would come to my eyes. What glorious difference enlightenment brings!
After realizing I was just a dupe and a guinea pig to the sick, power hungry politicians, my viewpoint changed dramatically. I see how nationalistic tendencies destroy people and families, hell, the entire social system; and not just “American” people and families. The sole purpose of the military should be to protect the people, not to engage in endless wars for profit and population control, i.e. defense, not offense. I hope that more and more people start to see the way I do now, not like I used to.
As I write this, we are only one week away from the ultimate in nationalistic holidays (at least for the US), “Independence Day” aka the 4th of July. This is a day to indulge in the orgiastic displays of flags and stars and stripes, of fireworks, hot dogs, apple pie. Parents will put American flag shirts on themselves and their kids. Parties with grilled hamburgers and hot dogs will be had poolside in much of the US. And on this “independence day” I will be thinking of Bradley Manning, the innocent dead civilians of the hundreds of wars fought throughout time, and true freedom from government oppression.
Do mankind a favor and disassociate yourself from the indoctrination of nationalism and join me for Anarchy Day! See Kal Molinet’s site: www.liberateRVA.com he was my inspiration for this! Wear black and display signs of peace for one and all to see! I know there will be pushback, but keep your thoughts positive and love one and all, especially those that “hate” you! Peace and Love to All!

Thomas James Ball has not been forgotten. June 15th marks the one year anniversary of his self-immolation in protest of the oppressive “justice” system in New Hampshire. New activism efforts including Stop Judicial Child Abuse have begun since his death, but the horrible system continues to destroy peaceful lives.
Here’s a description of the event occurring at Cheshire “superior” court on Friday June 15th at 3pm from the facebook event, created by local father Ed Bryans:
As many are aware Sgt . Ball tragically self immolated on the front steps of the Cheshire county court house in protest to the failed family court system. LET US NEVER FORGET and REMIND THE PUBLIC by making 6-15-12 a day of prayer, rememberance ,AND to remind our family court judges thru protest and signage “WE WILL NOT ALLOW our children to be victims of court sanctioned kidnapping for profit.
See you there!
Medical cannabis has passed both the NH house and senate, but as usual, “governor” John Lynch has promised to veto it. Please take a moment and call his office at 603-271-2121 and encourage him to sign SB 409 into law and support medical patients rights to use the medicine of their choice. Here’s a personal story from Sarah Levesque about her father:
This is my father as a medical marijuana patient. The marijuana alleviated his nausea and allowed him to eat. It eased his pain to a tolerable level and allowed him to function, instead of being in a zombie like state from being doped up on the pharmaceutical pain killers he was prescribed. (more…)
