No Police State Girl

So Passover, that high holy day that marks spring and Easter must be today, yesterday or tomorrow according to that Gregorian calender on the wall because all of those articles in internetland and I guess just about everywhere else in advertisingland are starting to display those Seder and break out the Matzo photos. And even though this blagh post isn't exactly about Passover, it does happen to be about DecorForU, some Etsy page I created a while ago in an attempt to sell those boxes and containers I have been decorating. And those photos that find themselves posted above, well they are Etsy for you. And what exactly this has to do with a No Police State I am not exactly sure except that it's just another one of those posts I am posting in an attempt to maintain content for this blog and my other blog whenever blaghers block possible. Have a great Etsy day and more.

As it seems as if it has something to do with insurance. And if you happen to be looking for that allred insurance, finding it and all about it can be just a website visit away.

Occupy Wall Street Worldwide

2014-04-04T18:18:03Z

When will you #reoccupy? April 4th? May 1st? It's not if, but when. And so on this day finds itself as Occupy Wall Street day 931. And Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast, sort of. And today is one of those reoccupy Wall Street kind of days. And there is a Wave of Action on this day for reoccupy seemingly everything everywhere with website descriptions and seemingly a bazillion websites and Occupy Wall Street Facebook events that I have come across in internetland in the past few days that read something like as follows. Occupy Wall Street Worldwide.

The Worldwide Wave of Action begins April 4th and runs through July 4th. During this three-month cycle, people throughout the world will be protesting corruption, rallying around solutions and taking part in alternative systems. The new paradigm will be on full display.

Studies have proven that it only takes 3.5% of the population taking nonviolent action to create meaningful and positive change. The Worldwide Wave of Action gives all of us who want change a powerful opportunity to make it happen and move society forward. Change-makers all over the world will be engaged at the same time in an unprecedented wave of transformation.

On April 4th, there will be Worldwide Wave launch celebrations at hundreds of former Occupy locations globally. We will gather at Zuccotti Park in NYC to honor Dr. Martin Luther King’s legacy of nonviolent action and spend the day connecting with allies and strategizing spring action campaigns. This crowdsourced campaign will become what you, the people, make of it, self-organizing and organically evolving, a new culture will emerge.

What are you most passionate about? What are you doing to be the change? Whatever it is, passionately be it in public this spring. Get together with like-minded friends and have fun with it.

We have power in numbers. United we are unstoppable.

OUR TIME HAS COME!!

If there is more than one masked individual at an event, everyone wearing a mask could get arrested. The law permits the police to use discretion in enforcement, so there may be some situations, and some types of face coverings, that police will ignore.

Zombie Apocalypse Again

2014-03-21T16:48:17Z

Hey again bloggers or whoever could be reading this blagh. And even when that Google page rank update still wants to send me in search of a fifth full time job for when that get rich internet quick does not get rich internet quick, I still find myself blaghing for some reason or another. And I know I have posted these zombie apocalypse posts on this blog before. It's just that when I keep reading articles such as The anxiety of unplugging and why we should disconnect to connect, and coming across photos like that This Is Progress photo that finds itself posted above and then videos with titles like The Innovation of Loneliness and what Facebook is doing to us that also finds itself posted above, it just brings me back to images of the zombie apocalypse and the robot nation again of wherever people are gathered these days and times, and that's not even including my travels throughout planet earth on the streets, planes, trains, buses, boats or whatever social situation or traveling mode that one may find themselves in only to be surrounded by people staring at handheld devices with blue light emanating from them and fidgeting with handheld gadgets as if in a trance and life amongst humanity seems as if it is a scene out of a science fiction movie sometimes. And this scenario seems as if it is a world wide phenomenon these days and times. What has technology done to humanity, for better or for worse. And what if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State.

Power

2014-03-13T13:38:04Z

Okay, so even though this post isn't exactly about power as stated in that title that's posted above, it does happen to be about nady phantom power supply. And if you happen to be wondering what that nady phantom power supply is all about as I am, finding it and all about it can be just a website visit away.

Blogging While Black

2014-03-09T04:13:32Z

And so this is yet another one of those posts that I find myself posting simply for the sake of attempting to maintain content for this blog and my other blog whenever blaghers block possible. And with it still being winter in that country of North America, and with headlines reading Russia seems as if it wants to go to war with itself and other headlines that makes one wonder if earth is going to hell in a hand basket, I find myself reposting this 21 Things You Can't Do While Black article that I came across in internetland because hey, we are all still Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis. And also because hey, it's less writing sometimes. And this article would be hilarious if unfortunately it weren't so true. Occupy the NRA. And what if anything does this have to do with a No Police State.

21 Things You Can't Do While Black

In the United States, sometimes your skin color is evidence enough against you.

—By Lauren Williams

| Wed Feb. 12, 2014 3:00 AM GMT

1640

Update: On February 15, 2014, the judge in the murder trial of Michael Dunn declared a mistrial on the first-degree murder count after the jury could not come to a decision. The jury reached verdicts for the other charges Dunn faced, and he was found guilty of three counts of attempted second-degree murder and one count of throwing a deadly missile. Prosecutor Angela Corey said that she will retry Dunn for first-degree murder in Jordan Davis' death.

Florida's second sensational, race-tinged murder trial in less than a year is underway. Michael Dunn, a white, 47-year-old software developer, shot and killed Jordan Davis, a 17-year-old African American, as the teen sat in an SUV with three friends.

Charged with first-degree murder, Dunn is pleading self-defense.* He contends that he argued with the teens (over what a witness says he called their "thug music") and fired on them after he claims he saw Davis brandish a shotgun. Police found no gun at the scene, and witnesses say Davis never had one.

Like the George Zimmerman trial, during which the self-styled neighborhood watchman successfully argued that he shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, in self-defense, Dunn's case has raised questions about Florida's broad Stand Your Ground law, racial profiling, and how the two issues intersect. Would Martin and Davis be alive if they weren't black? Would they have been afforded the benefit of the doubt by their killers if they had been white? Their deaths didn't happen in a vacuum. There's evidence that just being black in the United States is often all it takes to arouse suspicion. Here are 21 examples from the last five years of some of the things black people can't do without others thinking they're up to no good.

1. Listen to loud music at a gas station.

2. Walk home from a snack run to 7-11.

3. Wear a hoodie.

4. Drive after swimming.

5. Drive in a car with a white girl.

6. Appear in public in New York City.

7. Walk on the wrong side of the street.

8. Wait for a school bus to take you to your high school basketball game.

9. Drink iced tea in a parking lot.

10. Seek help after a car accident.

11. Inspect your own property.

12. Show up at your job.

13. Talk trash after an NFL game.

14. Throw a temper tantrum in kindergarten.

15. Buy designer accessories at Barney’s.

16. Buy designer accessories at Macy’s.

17. Be a 13-year-old boy.

18. Enter your own home.

19. Botch a science experiment.

20. Be a tourist.

21. Lay face down in handcuffs.

Clarification: A previous version of this story stated that Dunn was pleading self-defense under Florida's controversial Stand Your Ground law.Dunn waived his right to an immunity hearing under Stand Your Ground, but it has played a significant role in Dunn's defense. During the trial, Dunn's attorney argued to the jury that Dunn had the right to "meet force with force"—language pulled directly from the law. The same language is also in the jury instructions, according to Dunn's attorney. Return to the story

Replace This Part

2014-02-24T17:51:30Z

Okay now here's an interesting phrase that I find myself blogging about on this blogging day that has something to do with music, music and more music. strat replacement pickguard. And I would assume that phrase has something to do with replacing some part of a musical instrument. And if you happen to be looking for that replacement part, finding it and all about can be just a website visit away.

The Weather

2014-02-21T21:27:57Z

Okay, so I just happened to look out of one of those windows in the New York City area and the scene of the weather outside looks like something out of a science fiction movie as in that Day After Tomorrow movie that makes me want to Twitter the hash tags #snowpocalypse and #snowmageddon2014. And that #polar vortex hashtag seems to be trending also, as in dang, how long I been gone to where it is now snowing for what seems like the 100th time this week to where there are mounds of snow the sizes of cars and cars are buried in snow as far as the eye can see. And I know I don't really have anything else to blah blog about on this blaghing day today to where I find myself literally blaghing about the weather just for the sake of attempting to maintain content for this blog and my other blog whenever bloggers block possible. And it has snowed so much this season in that coast or the Northeast and even in the South in that country of North America, that cities and counties have run out of road salt and there isn't a shovel to be found in the stores for miles and miles. And one can say it's just winter, and the weather report says that spring is on the way. And then there's David the snow sculpture artist for winter weary New Yorkers. And then there also that Climate Change Is Affecting The Weather Patterns Article with a paragraph that reads:

Governors have declared states of emergencies from Louisiana to New Jersey due to a massive snow and ice storm. A National Weather Service memo calls the storm "an event of historical proportions," identifying it as "catastrophic ... crippling ... paralyzing ... choose your adjective." The storm has already caused at least 13 deaths and left 550,000 without power. We speak to Jeff Masters, director of meteorology at the Weather Underground.

And gee what a headline and photo in this London and New York storms are holding hands over Atlantic and are now combing article. Is there climate change? And the wind is howling. Have a great weather day and more.

Real Estate

2014-02-12T15:13:18Z

And for some reason or another I find myself blogging about real estate and all things real estate on this blogging day. And if you happen to be looking for real estate crm or information about real estate crm, now with the age of all things internet, finding it and all about it can be just a website visit away.

The Worst Part Of Censorship Is

2014-02-03T16:11:58Z

And on this day finds itself another one of those Sundays that has rolled around, the Sabbath, the day of rest, the day of God, or is that Saturday. And yet I find myself blaghing away for some reason. And I am not sure if I have blaghed about the topic of censorship or even discrimination, on this blog before, as I would have to search this blog to see, and that's if it would even appear and has not been censored. And with a website name called "No Police State" versus "Pro Police State", that name of a website surely finds itself entertaining the subject of censorship every so often in a conservative, patriotic or traditional world, or whatever you may want to call it, even in the age of digital and social media where transparency and alternative voices have a better chance of reaching the light. And so I decided to post some of those images in internetland of those "The Worst Part of Censorship Is XXXXXX XXXXX" images. And an interesting article that I came across in internetland regarding that topic of censorship, The Worst Part of Censorship...., reads as follows. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State. Have a great day of the sun and more.

Censorship is such an ugly word. In the context that it’s often used (internet piracy, journalism, and media) it sounds like it’s either the best or worst thing to ever happen to information flow. The definition of censor is “an official who examines books, plays, news reports, motion pictures, radio and television programs, letters, cablegrams, etc., for the purpose of suppressing parts deemed objectionable on moral, political, military, or other grounds.” (via dictionary.com)
Most recently, after the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the government made the choice to not allow the photos to be released or made public in any fashion. In some regards, this is censorship. In a journalistic sense, censorship largely is not an issue in the United States. It is most prevalent in other countries such as China, North Korea, etc. Freedom of speech, however it is exercised is something that we take for granted here in America. It’s not something that we have to march for or fight over. It’s already clearly granted in our constitution.
However, do we truly have free speech? Are our words and actions in the truest sense of the word; free? Is there a system of government, or a collection of special interest groups and corporations that make up a large part of the information that we see on a daily basis? Does the information stream have it’s bottlenecks, wherein words are lost not truly free to move about as dictated entirely by the consumer?

WikiLeaks

Take WikiLeaks, for example. The self claimed goal of WikiLeaks (according to their site) is as follows; “WikiLeaks is a not-for-profit media organisation. Our goal is to bring important news and information to the public. We provide an innovative, secure and anonymous way for sources to leak information to our journalists (our electronic drop box).” Generally speaking, what’s wrong with that? Journalistically, the concept behind WikiLeaks is nothing more than an aggressive means in which to release information (which we claim is free in the United States) to the public, in this case, online. Any true journalist should be more concerned with the relevance and impact of their story (information) than where the chips might fall should the story be published. WikiLeaks has faded from the public eye in some ways, but they’re continuing to do what they’ve always done.

Information

The point of information is to be shared, and in the high tech world we live in where terabytes of documents can be blasted around the world in matters of moments, it’s a journalists dream. If information is truly free as we claim it is, sites like WikiLeaks, and the free flow of information should be as open as possible. If there’s a problem with the government, or key insight into how and where taxpayer dollars are spent, for example, this information should be made available to the public, regardless of the consequences. Journalists have to be free to publish their information; and in the even that they’re not, there is always the internet.

Mix This Music

2014-01-29T00:08:53Z

Okay, so here's another one of those phrases that has me wondering what it means for some reason or another on this blogging day, gator g-mix ata mixer or equipment case. And that phrase seems as if it has something to do with music and all things music. And if you happen to be looking for that gator g-mix ata mixer or equipment case, finding it and all about it online has never been easier.

The Gig

2014-01-29T00:02:33Z

And I have seen many a musician going to those music gigs with those music instruments covered in some kind of a case to carry that instrument in for that gig. And if you happen to be looking for one of those cases for that instrument, you can find some good SKB Cases at musicians friend with just a website visit away.

Occupy Art Is Here Again

2014-01-18T04:37:14Z

Okay so here's another one of those recycle this blog posts from my other blog that I thought to post on this blog in order to maintain content for this blog and my other blog whenever blaghers block possible.

Hey again bloggers or whoever could be reading this blog. Occupy Art is here again. Well actually it's Occupy Art is almost here again as I type this blog post. And I know Occupy Art is almost here again because that Occupy Art Show @ Bowery Poetry Facebook event invite says so. And so today finds itself as Occupy Wall Street Day 900 and something, I think..... And Occupy Wall Street is still moving fast, well sort of fast. And actually Occupy Art was already here before on this blog at Theater For The New City a couple of years ago. It's just that this time that Occupy Art Show finds itself at The Bowery Poetry Club, that finds itself in that city of New York, that finds itself in that neighborhood of the Lower East Side that now calls itself the East Village for real estate marketing purposes, I think. And so I thought that this would be a good reason to drag this Occupy Art blog out of the blogger closet again that has been collecting blogger dust since its last post a couple of years ago. Oh, and ditto a few days later.... and that Occupy Art Photo that Galinsky posted on his Facebook page, well that's just Occupy Art cool. And that Occupy Art Show event invite reads as follows:

Occupy Art Show @ Bowery Poetry Club Sunday, January 26, 8:30pm until 10:30pm

How The Other Half Lives

2014-01-13T00:55:27Z

Okay so I could be blaghing about that #Bridgegate scandal that happened the other day but instead I find myself blaghing about what if such and such a magazine were to see these photos of hair, makeup and wardrobe posted above on this blog, well there's only two photos posted, they might be wondering how did these photos find themselves posted on this blog while they went out to lunch the other day. When in fact, to blagher me, these are photos of how the other half lives.

A Camera

Okay, so I am not exactly sure what this digital game scouting camera is all about but is seems as if it has something to do with game, cameras, trails and traps. And so what else is there that I can say about a digital game scouting camera that has not already been said in digital game scouting camera time, except that if you happen to be looking for this camera, finding it and all about it can be just a website visit away.

A New Year 2014

2013-12-31T16:59:43Z

And so that Gregorian calendar on the wall has rolled around again to where it finds itself that end of the year Anno Domini 2014 in North America to where all of those end of the year retrospective articles start popping up and all of those over priced end of the year parties start appearing. And then there's that Auld Lang Syne song that plays on the radio and television over and over that also finds itself posted above. And it is also that year of the horse according to that Chinese zodiac sign calendar. And so with this end of another Anno Domini year, finds itself Jeff Stark's nonsensenyc: 12.27 to New Year's Day‏ list of these really cool happenings and underground and above ground parties that find themselves in and around that city of New York for this before and after New Years Day week. And that email list subscription that found itself in that email inbox reads something like as follows. Happy New Year 2014.

Head On: 2003 vs. 2013

The end of 2013 is fast approaching, and we're furiously reviewing the songs that came out over the last year to find our favorites. We decided that we'd like to put 2013 to the test. Was it that good of a year for music? Ok, we dug that Daft Punk record, and the return of Justin Timberlake, and Chvrches. And a lot of good indie things came out by the likes of Classixx, Holy Ghost!, Duke Dumont, Young Galaxy, Vampire Weekend, Cut Copy, the Arcade Fire, etc. But what if we compared it to the best songs from, say, 10 years ago? The more we looked back, 2003 was a killer year for music. Not only was pop radio actually pretty damn good with the likes of Outkast, Beyonce, Fanny Pack, and even the Darkness, but there were plenty of good underground hits we loved by the likes of Junior Senior, Goldfrapp, and Head On champion LCD Soundsystem.

So we're doing what any good Head On DJ would do: we're pitting 2013 against 2003 in a no-holds-barred cage match. Anno a anno. Resident DJ Brian Blackout and guest DJ Fucci will do battle, and you'll help us pick a winner. Are all those old people who say music keeps getting worse right? Or was 2003 just a really great year? Help us decide (by dancing). With resident DJ Brian Blackout (representing 2013) and guest DJ Fucci (representing 2003). Two DJs enter, one DJ leaves.

Chaos Cooking: Taste Tripping

A participatory taste-tripping cooking extravaganza commandeering an entire East Village Restaurant. It's time to give our taste buds a psychedelic flavor experience they will never forget. From the depths of West Africa comes Synsepalum dulcificum, also known as the miracle fruit. When you eat this berry it causes sour foods (such as lemons and limes) to taste sweet. This effect is due to miraculin. Please join the Chaos Cooking Community for a very special event where we confuse our mouths and laugh at the results while enjoying endless food, drinks, and conversation. Everyone brings the ingredients for one dish and then cooks together in one space. All recipes must be finished and space returned to original condition by the end of the event, while everyone is socializing, enjoying drinks and eating tasty dishes. Each berry lasts one-two hours. There will be three berries available per person. We will have real berries, not tablets.

Guidelines: Everyone must prepare something; no exceptions. Everyone must pitch in to help restore the space to its original condition, without being asked. Try not to lose any fingers.

Into 2014 we go. Not quite what Isaac Asimov predicted, but pretty darn close. (Google it!) Here's how we'll be celebrating -- in Mister Saturday Night style:

There's a set number of tickets, so it'll be intimate, with enough room to dance without crazy lines for drinks and such. We'll stock the bar with bubbly and deck 12-turn-13 in black and white, so we ask you to deck yourself out in all black and/or white, too. You don't have to wear a tux (although you certainly can) -- just whatever's comfortable.

Festivities start at 9p for ticketed folks, and the ball drops in an easy-going way, so it doesn't feel forced. If you're celebrating midnight elsewhere, doors open for non-ticket holders at 2a, space permitted.

This year, to celebrate the year anniversary of the Silent Barn's new location, we're organizing a space-travelling party.

New Years 1 ended in the future, with aliens taking us up and away, so this sequel begins there. We will transform the venue into a spaceship, and travel every hour to a different planet, landing back on earth light years after we left.

Expect an installation by Title: Point in the Center For Strategic Art and Agriculture, a ship captain to guide us through the strange musical lifeforms, lots of guest DJ friends, possibly a hot tub out in the yard, champagne toasts, and us all eating breakfast together in the morning.

The 40th Annual New Year's Day Marathon Reading

There are three things to consider when the New Year’s Day Poetry Marathon sweeps you into its gracefully uncouth embrace -- what it is, what it was, and who you will be when it’s over. An untamed gathering of the heart’s secret, wild nobility -- over 140 poets together revealing not just that a better life could exist, but that it already does, sexy and wise, rancorous and sweet, big hearted and mad as hell. The Marathon measures its success through insurrectionist reframings of the universe, an in-it-together courage that crafts a community out of the riot of lineages and traditions we all emerge from. This collective effort also helps fund as many as 85 additional events every year. It’s our largest fundraiser of the year, and arguably the most inspired ongoing literary event in the city.

This is the 40th anniversary of the New Year’s Day Poetry Marathon. We have a lot of bonuses in the works to commemorate the occasion: Sean Cole, independent producer for public radio, will emcee the 7-10p hours of the event; there will be a raffle for desirable items from the Poetry Project’s collection; plus we’ll reveal a series of three special edition Project tote bags made by three different design students at Parsons. They did great work for this.

HiChristina Fifth Annual Love Corners

New Year's Eve is so celebrated, but what happens the next day? HiChristina has the answer, with the youngest New Year's Day tradition. Wake up sometime in the afternoon (say 3p), put on something red (a hat or fingernail polish or scarf or something), walk outside to a sunny street corner, and project love. There you have it. That's what HiChristina's 5th Annual Love Corners is all about. This year it's the corner of 23rd and Broadway in Manhattan on the sunny side of the street, at 3:30p.

Not only are you projecting love, so are people in from Uzebekistan to Auckland. Love corners is simultaneous and worldwide (like the internet). Unlike the internet it's a person-to-person connection all the way. Stand still. Take a deep breath. Relax. Open your eyes. And boom: Projecting Love. You'll know your compatriots by the red they wear. Stay on the corner for a bit. Feel it. Hold hands.

Last year someone showed up with 100 red balloons, and the year before there was a giant panda suit and a homemade electronic instrument! You never know what the new year brings. Afterwards, grab a cup of tea or stroll in the park with your newfound friends. If you or someone takes a picture or video send it to us.

The NSA is Coming to Town

2013-12-19T16:55:32Z

Okay, now if I must blogger say, in an attempt to maintain content for this blog and my other blagh whenever bloggers block possible, the ACLU has launched a hilarious anti-NSA campaign. This The NSA is Coming to Town YouTube video with Santa Satan as surveillance that finds itself posted above is kind of funny to me, not hell funny but kind of funny if it weren't so true that George Orwell was right and We Are Now In A Police State, and there is a White House Panel NSA report that says Technology Can No Longer Be King, and there are NSA methods reminiscent of those used in USSR under Stalin. And this is what The Soviet Surveillance States of America police state looks like for the holidays and each day thereafter in this electronic technology nineteen eighty four George Orwell world. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State. 2+2=5. Happy Holidays.

Homeless Archives NYC

2013-12-07T15:07:41Z

Hey again bloggers or whoever could be reading this blagh. And so I find myself wondering what to blah blagh about again in bloggerland simply for the sake of attempting to maintain content for this blog and my other blog whenever blaghers block possible. And so I found myself posting Homeless Archives NYC on yet another blagh this past week. Homeless Archives NYC is a personal collection of news clippings, flyers, posters, zines, postcards, programs and other papers from protests, demonstrations, rallies, workshops and other art and political related events that I have saved since the late 80's as a squatter in the Lower East Side, East Village, New York City until the late 90's in the era of gentrification, of my participation in the housing and homeless movement in the New York City area. In the digital age of technology, I find I can pull these old news clippings out of the closet from collecting dust, scan them, photograph them and post them online. Housing in a human right. Squat The World.
