Old New York is back and everything old is new again, so much that one almost doesn’t go out at night anymore because of what I have been reading in the headline news lately, a crime wave, that seems to be global, at least in America. At least that’s the way it’s kind of looking on the subways, streets and parks of New York City after all the rich people have fled the cities and all the tourists are gone due to that scary virus that came from out of nowhere earlier this year and an International travel ban that has now resulted in headlines like Escape From New York: Wealthy Residents Flee In Droves As The City Degenerates Into A Hellhole, Retail Chains Abandon Manhattan: ‘It’s Unsustainable’, NYC moms fleeing Upper West Side amid crime and chaos, New York City may take YEARS to recover after mass exodus, A mad rush for the exits as New York City goes down the tubes, New York has grappled with gentrification for years. Covid has brought it to a head, Empty apartments in Manhattan reach record high, topping 13,000, ATM ripped out of Manhattan deli as new crime ‘trend’ hits NYC and Hollywood’s Apocalypse NOW: Rich and famous are fleeing in droves as liberal politics and coronavirus turn City of Dreams into cesspit plagued by junkies and violent criminals.
And if I can web 2.0 user generated content say, back to the topic of this blog post, Washington Square Park. And so I found myself attempting to vend those DecorForU #blacklivesmatter, #S#!tJustGotReal, #notmypresident, #occupywallstret, #nopolicestate, #yoga, #brooklyn, #washingtonsquarepark and #iloveny necklaces, magnets, key chains and pins for $2 each at Washington Square Park again and wondering where to post all of those photos I took at that park again, and so I find myself posting them here on this blog, again….  And so the scene has changed at Washington Square Park in New York City, ever since the virus and now those Black Lives Matter protests have started, as there seems to be Black Live Matter protests in that park on a daily basis, as a couple of them, one, an Asians for Black Lives Matter protest was there yesterday as in those photos and videos that find themselves posted above. And from what I saw in that park yesterday, there are people and their DJ system who seem to be having a dance party there every Saturday night. And I came across Nikki, @thefabledpickle, whose arrest with the use of an unmarked van that drew parallels to Portland protests. there in that park with that skateboard one day, and also POWER TO US, who were handing out those Justice for Breonna Taylor postcards one day.  And times they are ever changing as the only thing constant is change. And this virus and now those Black Lives Matter protests that both seem to be global is enough to make me want to blagher say that we are living in crazy and historical times.  And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State. Black Lives Matter. Occupy Wall Street Worldwide.

Hey again bloggers or whoever could be reading this blog. And so I found myself attempting to vend those DecorForU #blacklivesmatter #S#!tJustGotReal #notmypresident #occupywallstreet #nopolicestate #yoga #morus #theshadow #squat #tompkinssquarepark #brooklyn #eastvillage #lowereastside and #iloveny necklaces, magnets, key chains and pins for $2 each and handing out Fly Orr PANicDEMIC flyers at Tompkins Square Park again, and I came across Pinc Louds playing there again this past weekend. And there was dancing and dancing and even more dancing in that big circle at that park. And in case you don’t know who Pinc Louds is, I didn’t either until I saw them playing there every weekend this past month. And so I found myself taking a bunch of photos of them playing music, music and more music and photos of people holding Fly Orr’s PANicDEMIC flyers again. And I can never figure out where to post all of those photos and videos except here on this blog sometimes. And not only was Pinc Louds playing at Tompkins Square Park this past weekend, the cops showed up with what seemed like an army of police to guard a statue that has been graffitied, I guess as part of those Black Lives Matter protests that seem to be taking place around the world, along with that scary virus that came from out of nowhere. And as Chris Flash of The Shadow wrote:

“Did someone crank call the NYPD to tell them that the Samuel. S. Cox stature in Tompkins Square Park is coming down?? Since 4pm today, “Strategic Response” and 9th precinct cops have been posted at the statue, after surrounding it with barricades!!”

And ditto, I just came across this above photo in facebookland that there is a Tompkins Square Park Police Riot 32nd Anniversary (1988-2020) in Tompkins Square Park this weekend, August 1st-2nd.

And the text for that Tompkins Square Park Police Riot 32nd Anniversary photo reads like:

“First Show of the Season !
Finally.. A 2 Day Special Acoustic Chapter .. First Ever Acoustic Show in over 30 years.. Acorn Slim Scott Newman and John Lane Dean Rane Gass Wild
Rew Starr Dead Dean Chris Iconicide Spike Polite. And SEWAGE and Direct From Long Island.. The Beautiful

Taking Over- “OUR PARK ”

Tompkins Square Park, August 1st-2nd, 1pm
Both Daze ….”

No one is free when others are oppressed. Is another world possible. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State. Occupy Wall Street. Black Lives Matter. #defundthepolice

And in addition to that Images of an NYC Protest Aftermath for George Floyd blog post that I posted on my other blagh last week with images of boarded up buildings, the aftermath Black Lives Matter protests and riots, I thought I would post a few more photos of a surreal New York and seemingly a nation of boarded up windows, doors and buildings that one can see just walking around Manhattan and that city of New York. And so I guess I’ll just post that same text that I posted on my other blog last week because hey, it’s less writing sometimes.

“At first it was the Coronavirus, the coronapocalypse, the control a virus, the pandemic, the plannedemic, scamdemic or whatever you want to call that scary virus that came from out of nowhere in the year 2020. And now it is nationwide and seemingly worldwide protests that have seemingly turned into riots for George Floyd and all victims of police brutality. And whatever happened to social distancing for a virus in the middle of a protest? And so now that Facebook and Instagram feed has changed from all things coronavirus to all things George Floyd and Black Lives Matter literally overnight. And words are passing me by in commentary in what seems like a revolution similar to those Martin Luther King marches during the civil rights movements era. And both this coronavirus and now these Black Lives Matter protests, riots and rebellions against racism and police violence seem to be somewhere in between a new world order, a police state and martial law to me. And the images of these protests and marches in protest of police brutality seem to be met with even more horrifying images of police brutality and the horrifying images of police brutality seems to be global. And words are passing me by again to comment on everything that is happening in the world now, except to post these images of an aftermath of fires and broken windows and burned out police vehicles, looted stores and boarded up buildings in New York City for George Floyd and all victims of police brutality. And there are more images of this aftermath of a protest to be found at evgrieve.com. And today is Blackout Tuesday in solidarity against all forms of racism, violence and discrimination. Stop Killing Black People. Is another world possible. And as I type this blog post there seems to be curfews, also known as martial law, in New York City and other states, as a result of these riots. Babylon has fallen. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State. #blacklivesmatter”

And then there is this video of a boarded up nation across America.

And then there is this End of the world: Mayan doomsday resurgence after ‘we are technically in 2012’ claim mayan conspiracy article , (two photos above..), that I came across today in internetland that caught my attention, that says something about:

END OF THE WORLD fears have resurged after online users wildly claimed the Julian calendar, which was used until the 1500s, would place Earth in the year 2012, not 2020, potentially meaning the Mayan’s doomsday prediction could still unravel.

““When the world switched to the Gregorian calendar in the 1700s, we lost around eight years in translation. So yes technically this year is 2012.”

Can we fact check the Mayan calendar?

And what again, does any of this have to do with a No Police State.

In response to all the curfews put in place over the last few days around the country, we say: FUCK YOUR CURFEW! 🖕🏾 FTP IV SOON COME! NYC GET HYPE! ✊🏾 #decolonizethisplace pic.twitter.com/UR009zwaVi

And as the world burns from fires and floods due to global warming and climate change, I find myself looking at the moon today, December 12, 2019 or 12.12.19 which almost sounds like 12.21.2012. And according to twitter posts and articles, The decade’s last full moon will occur at 12:12 a.m. on 12/12, Wednesday night’s full moon is the last one of the decade. It’s also a “cold moon. And other twitter posts and comments go on to say

“Whether you believe in the energy of a full moon or not, tonight is a great night to let go of everything that no longer serves you from the past decade. All those negative experiences, all those old thoughts, all of the living in the past… let it go.”

and

“This full moon is really exposing the truth about people in your life especially friendships/relationships. Pay attention and if it doesn’t feel right, don’t keep it there anymore.”

and

“The Full Moon in Gemini is attracting some discomfort in order for you to realign your balance. It will serve you best to meet this humbly, without trying to hide from your inner truth.”

and a host of other twitter full moon comments and thoughts. And even though it’s not really the end of the year yet at I type this blagh post, winter solstice, the holy dayze and Jesus Christ’s birthday are upon us again and the end of the year, the end of a decade and maybe the end of an era as that blog post title says above is almost here. And some things have come to pass again, and it was the end of some peoples lives this past year. And Blogger is still here about 10 years later after I started blaghing these blog posts in web 2.0 user generated content internetland. And I guess this is another Gregorian calendar year where there are more memories to be remembered or forgotten and more recaps to be recaptured. And One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
And so that I am no queen passage comes to mind again that I find myself posting on this blagh every so often: It seems to be finally here on this day and in this year again.

I am no Queen
I sit a widow and shall see sorrow
I kannot walk any further
my journey may end here
there are no words to take away the pain
to replace a person who is gone
my eyes are dim and heavy with grief
I kannot close them
I do not wish to see the darkness they hold
this thing which I have greatly feared
has come upon me with trembling
kausing all my bones to shake
I am scared with dreams and terrified
with visions of what will my funeral be like
when I die today at this very moment
will there be a funeral
who will come and who will pay
will they eulogize me and what will they say
leave me to sit and decay
make me your centerpiece in a chair dressed up dead
preserve me with spices, mummify me
let the birds of the air pluck me
the beast of the field tear me
till I be consumed by maggots and
dust and fly away when I die
there hath been no greater love than
that which hath been
it is the sound of Rachael mourning for
the children that never were
no one to comfort her
no where to wail lament save the ocean
why died they not from the womb
why died they not the breast prevent them from suck
why died they not the knees prevent them
why died they not give up the ghost that
no light shine upon this day
cursed be the man that saith the child is born this day
it is the wake of a funeral procession about to begin
it was a sunny day that day across the street from the graveyard
and we all laid down in our coffins to die

Auld Lang Syne

And being that I have been attempting to vend those DecorForU #blacklivesmatter #notmypresident, #nopolicestate, #occupywallstreet, #berniesanders, #yoga, #brooklyn, #manhattan, #washingtonsquarepark & #Iloveny necklaces, magnets, key chains & pins for $2 each at Washington Square Park the past couple of years or so, when I came across Kristin’s post in facebookland about Oriel being arrested at Washington Square Park last week, it caught my eye.  And her Facebook post read something like:

And Jesus crap!!??  Since when do the way too many…. green park rangers get violent at Washington Square Park. And that video of Oriel being arrested at Washington Square Park, that really cool artist, vendors and beyond park to be found in New York City, is horrifying to watch, with images of what looks like police brutality or green park ranger brutality in it.

Though lo and behold again! I am not sure if this has anything to do with that artist protest that finds itself posted in that Blogger title above, Oriel was seen while vending DecorForU #blacklivesmatter #notmypresident, #nopolicestate, #occupywallstreet, #berniesanders, #yoga, #brooklyn, #manhattan, #washingtonsquarepark & Iloveny necklaces, magnets, key chains & pins for $2 each at Washington Square Park yesterday. No one is free when others are oppressed.  And what, if anything, does this have to do with a no police state. Have a great Washington Square Park artist protest day and more.
