Operation Sons of 1984
The revolution's here? Now?Quick! Load ALL the internets!
Since we have no monies to send to the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators and it's w-a-a-a-y too far to walk some pizzas and fresh garden stuff over to Liberty Plaza, but I love all those folks and wanna help somehow ... witness the launch of Operation Sons of 1984, based on themes and memes found in that great old tune by Todd Rundgren, lifting a line for the catchphrase:
"I can still see the great panorama of hate / Being cleansed by our loving hands...".
The An Occupy Wallstreet Wiki is like a community bulletin board anywhere. Anybody can not only stick something to it, they can respond to stuff other folks have stuck there, hence the appellation AnoniWikiSpace for the mode for what goes on there, which is manifested as One User One Wall and 1user1wiki to show solidarity with the demonstrators and other supporters.
Then Carl OK'd hosting at ettruck.com and a basic pligg powered OWS News engine was given a sub-domain so the Demonstrators and support groups can report links to News important to them, vote on the articles & comment on them.
Current categories are:
*Resources - for new + developing resources
*OWSNews - OWS general category
*LocalGroups - for local groups to post updates
*OWS Wins - for posting our victories great and small!
*Blogs-OWS- for links to blog posts about or pertaining to the Occupy Wall Street movement.
*OWS Press - OWS in the Press or (official) OWS Press? Stay tuned!
*People - articles about individuals and celebs
*PoliceState - when the State goes over the line
It's nice that tools like this are not only info sharing tools, but ones that give freedom to build consensus about ideas and information by a member base with a focused interest.
And a An Occupy Wall Street Media Wiki has been started in another sub-domain. The media wiki is intended as a place to mirror content created in the open access community wiki for archival in a more formal wiki environment.
So far so good. Up the Occupation!
And I still trust Annie with all my <3. You should, too.

The Tide
My friend Annie has written a little ditty called The Tide, a protest song inspired by the courage and determination of the protesters in Africa and the Middle East, written with the goal of helping, in some small way, to turn the Arab Spring into a global tide of awareness and solidarity."A song of peaceful revolution and empowerment. A song about the growing global movement of citizen awareness and an emerging solidarity."
Annie is a lady that has a lot more going on than one short song. She also has a five part animated satire of American conspiracies called "Conspiracy! The Series" and is an accomplished poet.
She has recently founded The Consumer Party on the concept of changing the world by the way we spend, or, in the case of corporations that do not conform to sustainability standards, how we do not spend.
And she has founded 1world1wage, which is based on the concept of establishing uniform global wage requirements, thereby inhibiting corporate exploitation and abuse of third world nations while helping protect jobs in the Old and New worlds from outsourcing. Annie has started a petition to the U.N. for a Global Labor Treaty. I encourage everyone interested in global nonviolent social change to at least give it a lookover and a signature, but what I would really love to see is every one read it, sign it (with thoughtful, spell-checked comment), and give a shout or holla about it everywhere you can without spamming anybody. Do it for me. Do it for Annie. Do it for yourself. Do it for the World. Do it to piss off the Banksters and Fat Cats. Do it for any reason you can come up with. Do it for no reason at all. Just Do It!

The Public Party
Perhaps this time around Americans will form a coalition of Independents to vote in more sane representatives who won't sell us out to the banksters and corporations.We have two corporate parties. It's way past time for a party that will actually represent the portions of the American Public who are their constituents. A Public Party. An American Party. An American Public Party. An E Pluribus Unim Party. A Revenge of the Nerds Party. The only thing that matters about the name is how whatever a coalition of Independent Americans would be is spelled in the history books.
That's my American Dream
It will be realized when my fellow Americans vote to put the Reds and the Blues on the sidelines for ONE full rotation on the old election cycle to get people who to do the bidding of the constituents instead of the usual pimps and scoundrels that bought our Federal government away from all of US decades ago.
The Public Domain is shrinking as fast as the middle class as our common rights and resources are sold to the highest corporate bidders as a purported public service.
We need Real Citizens to represent us. People who won't sell us out because they are patriots and our Rights and Liberties granted to us all under the Constitution are not for sale. American Representation for the American Public instead of the "public service" we've been getting from the usual narcissistic pimps and whores.
We need patriotic Americans who will prosecute the banksters and scoudrels who steal money from the American Public into the future generations where every new citizen born enters our nation will a share of a National Debt on the tens of thousands. People who steal from our children should be prosecuted criminally and civilly and their assets seized to pay back what they stole.
If the American Public had true representation that is what would be happening now.
The Reds and Blues forget there is another color on the American flag and it's past time Independents take it for their own.

A Perfect Photographic Memory of You
The new single A Perfect Photographic Memory of You by Kirk Philipsen is finally in the can! And there is a fun, rough-mix, ''studio rush'' posted online to listen to.We did the final lead track yesterday and blasted out a rough mix on the old near fields with each one of us moving sliders up and down, twirling knobs, and mucking about sort of in one another's way for 3 minutes and 33 seconds.
Then we uploaded the resulting mix to Kirk's home playlist on dial-up and I played it fine on a couple DSL connections back in town. It's playing fine as I post on this Lucid Puppy Linux boot (formerly Win98) of an old Gateway PII with 256M of RAM and a 10/100 ethernet card on DSL.
Kirk has a lot of tracks to play with, mix, and master, so he will be busy for a little while as he works on finalizing the song. There is a lot to map for this mix so I don't expect anything over night.
There will be some changes in the final mix, which will be out fairly soon and available on Kirk's CD baby page.
