A Message To America

By mike flugennockThursday - August 21st, 2014Categories: Black Lives Matter, media, Middle East, Obamarama, War on Terror

As I post this, the US media have taken a short break from dishing out bullshit on the Ferguson situation in order to crap their drawers over the beheading of journalist James Foley by ISIS militant fighters in Iraq — and once again, the US media’s hypocrisy has pegged my Crap-O-Meter so hard that the needle broke off.

I’d like to take this moment to suggest that if the US media are unable to address the ongoing police bullying and brutalization of journalists covering the Ferguson Rebellion, then they should just shut the fuck up about James Foley.

From Gaza to Missouri!

By mike flugennockTuesday - August 19th, 2014Categories: Black Lives Matter, liberty, media, Obamarama, Palestine

Nothing bugs me more these days than listening to posh-living white Liberals whining about the “rioting” in Ferguson, Missouri.

Affluent, NPR check-mailing White Liberal Americans have never had to deal with being denied economic opportunities, decent housing opportunities, or educational opportunities, nor have they had to endure the threat of brutality and murder at the hands of police every day of their lives.

So, just shut the hell up, white Liberal America. You can call it anything you want, but don’t call it “rioting”. I prefer to call it “uprising”, or perhaps “intifada”.

Reporting Is Resistance

By mike flugennockThursday - July 24th, 2014Categories: liberty, media, Middle East, war and peace

From police assaults on citizens photographing Occupy protests to Al Jazeera reporters’ imprisonment by the Egyptian regime, journalists have endured escalating attacks by authoritarian regimes both in the US and abroad.

It’s gotten to the point where simply reporting the news is an act of resistance.

Out Of The Closet

By mike flugennockSaturday - May 3rd, 2014Categories: DC Local, elections, liberty, media

This poster addresses a long-standing problem faced for many years by marijuana smokers, including myself: that of being demonized and ostracized by society at large, which has made it difficult to speak out on government policy and organize for legalization.

In many ways, the problem faced by marijuana smokers is similar to that faced by gays and lesbians prior to the Stonewall Rebellion of 1969 — being treated as if what we are doing is somehow evil or deviant.

This art is a call to action for DC voters to support the current Initiative 71 petition drives and seize the opportunity to “come out of the closet” by voting to legalize marijuana in DC.

Here’s “What You Need To Know About Marijuana In DC”.
