I Can’t Breathe

#EricGarner #icantbreathe #BlackLivesMatter

I can hear my brother screaming I Can’t Breathe
Now I’m in the struggle and I just can’t leave
I’m calling out the violence of the racist police
We ain’t gonna stop til the people are free
We ain’t gonna stop til the people are free

Drama

So rewind, fast forward since I last posted on this blagh that calls itself No Police State Girl. And I must blogger say that I have trouble when it comes to figuring out how to nagivate this wordpress themed blog. And I haven’t blaghed on this blagh since I have been consumed with attempting to do that play that was the past month or so. And as far as I know, Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast, I think. And so to sum up how that play went, I reposted it in that other post that I just posted on that that other blog for that play. And it was drama, a horror drama and more drama indeed. Have a great drama day and more.

Black Lives Matter

And so being that I have been posting about Ferguson, It’s Beyond Ferguson, and all things #BlackLivesMatter on this blog lately, what’s been going in the world of Black Lives Matter lately? Well, lots, lots, and a lot of events have transpired and passed across the country in the demand for Justice For Eric Garner and a host of others who lave lost their lives at the hands of polizei and guns. And guns are the worst invention ever. If only guns could be banished from every human being on planet earth. And it also happens to be a New Year 2015 as I type this blog post. And Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast. And again, unless you have been hiding out under a rock or stuck in the stone age and haven’t heard, Ferguson and all things beyond Ferguson is still happening. Ferguson is everywhere. And there was that Shut Down Grand Central Terminal event that happened the other day. And so as in the previous blog posts about Ferguson, I still find myself following that Peoples Power Assemblies page and that Jan 15, 2015 NYC Peoples Power STRIKE AGAINST RACISM Facebook event invite when it comes to finding about #Ferguson actions and events in the New York City area. And their weekly email for events this week reads something like as follows:

Enough is Enough ! We are tired of white supremacy and racism that’s so prevalent in the US! We are tired of the constant NYPD repression, occupation and murders within communities of color . If Dr. King were alive today he would be in the streets with our anti-police brutality movement . Let’s organize student strikes, community strikes, workers strikes, etc and March!

Come to our weekly planning meetings on Wednesday at 7 PM 147 West 24th Street – 2nd floor, Manhattan.

Oh yeah, and then there’s that I Can’t Breathe Subway Sing – In (Dr. King’s Birthday) Facebook event invite going on that also reads something like:

Hi everyone

There are a couple of subway sing – in’s and other #BlackLivesMatter related events going on the week of the 15th in honor of Martin Luther King Day, January 19th, and I had the idea to create this event invite to see if anyone would like to meet up as part of those actions for MLK week and do an I Can’t Breathe subway sing – in on the subway platforms and trains around New York City or wherever the subway trains may take us, on and off subway platforms to sing the “I Can’t Breathe” song along the way for an hour or so, or half an hour or so.

“Flood the Subways with your signs and your voices on January 15th to truly honor Dr. King’s birthday”.

I had the idea to meet by the benches at the 14th street Union Square West area of the subway train station platform and decide which direction to sing on the trains from there, maybe take the uptown 4,5 or 6 subway train or 1, 2 or 3 Times Square subway platform or A,C or E Columbus Circle subway platforms or stations around noon, Thursday, January 15th, on Martin Luther Kings birthday, to take the movement to the trains and sing the “I Can’t Breathe Song” that People’s Power Assemblies and others have been singing the past week or so at #BlackLivesMatter events.

I also had the idea to take the downtown 4,5 or 6 or downtown N, Q and R trains to sing the I Can’t Breathe Song on trains, stations and platforms and get off near Foley Square to go to the African Burial Ground, Jan 15, 2015 NYC Peoples Power Assemblies City Wide STRIKE AGAINST RACISM event at 1pm and City Hall event at 4:30pm.

Any feedback or suggestions as to where to meet on the subway train platform or station would be appreciated in the comments.

Here are other subway sing – in related events for the week of the 15th.

And again, Ferguson Action Network events are all to numerous to mention in this blog post, as there seems to be a bazillion or more events happening each day. No one is free when others are oppressed. Is another world possible. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?

Music

And so what else is there that I can say about music, music and more music that has not already been said in music time. Except that if you happen to be looking for those guitars and other instruments used to make that music, here is a website to visit. Finding those music making instruments and more can now just be a website visit away.

It’s Beyond Ferguson

And on this day finds itself as Occupy Wall Street Day 1000 and something. And Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast. And in my internetaholicness if I must blogger say, I have been following the headlines news as usual and it seems as if the world is upside down and going to hell in a handbasket sometimes when one reads or hears the headline news. And as I had posted in that previous post before this one, in case you have been hiding out under a rock or stuck in the stone age or something and haven’t heard, #Ferguson, and now Ferguson and beyond is still happening. And if I must also blogger say, I have been consumed with and following the Peoples Power Assemblies MERGENCY RESPONSE PROTESTS/ACTIONS TO RACIST POLICE BRUTALITY From FERGUSON TO NYC! #SHUTITDOWN! Facebook page lately in an attempt to keep updated when it comes to all things #Ferguson and beyond. And their #BlackLivesMattersNYC #ICantBreathe Organizing Actions and Meetings this week reads like:

And there is also that Hands Up Don’t Celebrate Christmas @ Jersey City Mayor’s Christmas Concert Facebook event invite I found myself creating in the midst of all of this, because hey, it’s in the state of New Jersey.

And then there is this #SHUTITDOWN NATIONWIDE ACTION: DECEMBER 19th Facebook photo that I just came across on Facebook.

And there was the Millions March NYC event that took place across the nation this past week, of which one of the many Youtube videos from that march finds itself posted above.

And again, there are way too many Ferguson Action Network events going on lately, all too numerous to mention in this blog post that have taken place in the New York City area, California and throughout the world the past few weeks, seemingly a bazillion or more and beyond.

And then there is that Reverend Billy And The Stop Shopping Gospel Choir photo of the Statue of Liberty under water with a Manhattan skyline backdrop that I came across in internetland that seems hilarious if it weren’t so true with text that reads like:

FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE druggies who tried to make their fantasy economy away from the bigger killers, but I did not speak out, because I’m white with powder cocaine. Then they came for the immigrants, flooded by Clinton’s subsidized corn and dragged screaming by ICE from their homes, and I did not speak out, because I’m sitting here waiting for my Mexican cook to bring me my pasta special. Then they came for the poverty-dizzied young from zip codes like Bed-Stuy and the Bronx, fed into the for-profit prison pipeline, and I did not speak out, because where do you start? It’s a national operation run by Wall Street. Then one day the Earth came for me, the ocean turned to acid sweeping through the streets, and I cannot protect my family, because America is declared a permanent emergency, and the cops and soldiers are the same guy, jailing us in our upstairs apartment, and no-one is left to speak for me because permits to speak in public are rationed by Chase Bank.

The movement in Ferguson, Mo has called for people across the country to walk out of their jobs, schools and homes starting at 12pmCST in outrage over the murder of #MikeBrown and hundreds of people of color murdered by the police. No Work. No School. No Business As Usual. #SHUTITDOWNNYC against Racism & Police Brutality.

And guns are the worst invention ever. If only guns could be banished from every human being and every form of advertising on earth. No one is free when others are oppressed. “We have seen more fight, more struggle, more unity, more diversity, and more change in the last three days than in the ten years that went before it…” We are living in a rare moment. Occupy the NRA. And what does this have to do with a No Police State.

Ferguson

And on this day finds itself as Occupy Wall Street Day 1,000 and something. And Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast. And in case you have been hiding out under a rock or stuck in the stone age or something and haven’t heard, #Ferguson is happening. And there seems to be a bazillion events, actions and more for Ferguson, too numerous to mention in this blog post. And seemingly a million or more Facebook groups and pages for #blacklivesmatter, #handsupdontshoot #itsbeyondferguson#indictamerica #boycottblackfriday , and now #justiceforericgarner that have been created. And Ferguson Action Network has held many events for Michael Brown and Ferguson, Missouri. And then there is the Peoples Power Assemblies Facebook page whose EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROTESTS/ACTIONS TO THE FERGUSON GRAND JURY! #SHUTITDOWN! Facebook event invite that has Ferguson events and beyond on it. And the description of that Peoples Power Assemblies page and event invite reads as follows:

This page is for the ONGOING EMERGENCY FERGUSON GRAND JURY RESPONSE PROTESTS In NYC and Nationally .

PLEASE IGNORE the SPECIFIC TIMES, DATES and LOCATION of the PAGE – The Events posted to the page are what are CORRECT & RELEVANT
Please feel free to post your anti-police brutality & Ferguson -related actions, photos, videos, events, ideas, etc to this page.

Music Makes The World Go Round

And so I find myself blogging about 614ce grand auditorium on this day for some reason or another and wondering what that 614ce grand auditorium is actually all about, as it seem as if it has something to do with music, music and more music. And if you happen to be looking for that 614ce grand auditorium or information about that 614ce grand auditorium, finding it and all about it can be just a website visit away.

Uncategorized

Occupy The NRA

And I have blaghed on this blagh many times before about gun violence and gun control. So much that I could post the same post over and over. And it almost seems as if nothing changes and everything still remains the same. Guns and the images of guns are still everywhere. And there is Trayvon Martin and a host of others, seemingly black males, who have fallen at the hands of polizei in North America. And now in the headline news there is#Ferguson Missouri, more people falling at the hands of polizei and guns. And then there are school shootings and the list of shootings in various places by various people goes on and on to where one can be afraid to leave home sometimes for fear you might not make it back, because of a gun. And then there is Occupy the NRA. Guns are the worst invention ever. If only guns could be banished from every human being on planet earth. There are no words to me to describe that photo above except to say Occupy The NRA. No one is free when others are oppressed. #IndictAmerica #BlackLivesMatter. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?

Dance

I need to dance. Dancing makes the world go round, and a host of other sayings when it comes to dance, dance and more dance. And if you are looking to dance, you can find dance classes here with just a website visit away and be on your way to dancing in that class in no time. And don’t forget to bring your dancing shoes.

A Day Of Veterans

Hey yet again bloggers or whoever could be reading this blagh. And so it’s Veteran’s Day again tomorrow according to that Gregorian calendar on the wall. And for some reason I seem to find myself blaghing about holidays a lot lately because hey, it’s less writing sometimes, I think. And so for some reason Christmas displays are already to be found in the stores, skipping Thanksgiving displays. Oh and back to Veterans Day, another one of those holidays that seem to repeat themselves over and over to where I can just post the same blog post over and over in an attempt to maintain content for this blog and my other blog whenever blaghers block possible.

I thought I heard someone say yesterday that today or tomorrow is Veterans Day, another one of those patriotic holidays where the flag wavers come out in force. Let me check the calendar to see. Oh yeah, the calendar says Veterans day is today. Is this day observed in America only, or is this day observed in the rest of the world also? And so I find myself reposting a posting I posted several months ago for Memorial day, another one of those patriot holidays where the American flag wavers come out in force. Veterans account for a majority of the homeless mentally ill population these days, and a majority of them are disabled now as a result. For what reason is this an honor to support? I consider myself antipsychiatricky and do not believe mental illness exists and that psychiatry kills and originates from Nazi Germany where psych cia trists were mass murderers in white coats as is the case today, and that the mental death system is also an extension of Orwellianism, where family members turn in family members, and neighbors turn in neighbors to the thought police for thought crimes. Psychiatry and psych trickery is an art and not a science. And so I would like to think of mental illness as problems in living. And I believe in the abolishment of forced psych cia trick treatment that is often cruel and inhumane. Therapy? The rap y? Y the rap? Therapist, The rapist. Mind Freedom is a great website to read for all things alternative to the mental death system. And so today is Memorial Day in America. I mean Veterans day in America. A celebration of the war day. Another one of those patriotic holidays. The flag wavers are out and yellow ribbons, badges of honor, medals, parades, marches, prayers, patriotic songs, tributes and ceremonies are being broadcast everywhere. The headlines read “Honor the dead soldiers, honor the fallen soldiers and comrades”. Today is the ultimate patriotic fanatic holiday, or the ultimate hate hour as George Orwell might say. My question of the day; for what reason is it an honor to volunteer to be fodder for the canon. For what reason is it an honor to die for nothing, to fight for reasons that do not exist, to fight against the flesh for powers that be that one cannot even see. For what reason is it an honor to be so poor that one will volunteer their life in exchange for money after one leaves the service, if one leaves the service. For what reason is it an honor for persons to be brainwashed with propaganda, theirs or mine. For what reason is it an honor to become a violent person and pick up a gun and kill another person for no reason at all, except for the fact that guns have been invented, the worst invention of an industry ever. For what reason is it an honor to be a veteran who now make up the majority of the homeless population. For what reason is it an honor to attend one of those military sponsored funerals and cry over the image of a flag that propagates violence, the same flag that caused ones death. For what reason is it an honor to fall and die for nothing. For what reason is it an honor to promote this ideology. What is heroic about all of this? And why does the word “Patriot” have the word “Riot” in it? And why does the word “Military” militant militia have the word “Mal” in it? “Parens Patriae, father of the people”, the guardian. That phrase seems to be the basis of an endless amount of death and suffering in the world; the protection of property or other material things. I saw Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 documentary. It is nineteen eighty four and Orwellianism is everywhere at its best today. Is it written somewhere that this must all come to pass? Happy beach bar b queing Memorial day, I mean Veterans day. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind. And what does this have to do with a No Police State?
