THE MESSAGE PART 2 I feel graffiti should become more of a counter view to mass media. Graffiti should be used to cross out, flip and burn all the political hype in the consumer bullshit that is pumped into us by TV advertisements in the form of commercials, TV programs themselves telling us how to act or react, to billboards posters, etc. Every major news network is owned by a corporation. The whole nation is tuned into a corporate newsletter. Well I don't work for ABC, NBC or CBS. I work at Kinkos and FUCK KINKOS. Fuck their profit and fuck their bottom line. News media in America is a brainwashing tool; a propaganda machine that never proposes any solution but the one the government tells them, "STAY IN LINE" giving no other choices but war. Here's another choice. Pull all our troops out from foreign soil back home. Our own constitution says that no foreign troop can occupy our soil. To me it's a two way street you can't treat others differently than the way you want to be treated or it comes back and bites you on your ass. What happened on Sept.. 11 isn't rare to the rest of the world. On that date the people, not the people in power, but the people became citizens of the rest of the world. Since that date the propaganda machine known as the US news media kicked into high gear. The New York Times printed a two-page US Flag. If we didn't get the idea, patriotism is back in style. "United we stand," wear Red White and Blue to show your allegiance. I feel what happened was fukt up, but my memory isn't so short; not one but two A-bombs were dropped. Why? To scare the shit out of the Japanese and it worked. Thousands of Iraqi children die every month because of US sanctions. But who fukn cares? That's someone else's problem and their death is not broadcast live world wide (as the WTC). Some people look at the flag and truly feel that it is a symbol of freedom, liberty and justice. Others look at that flag and see ignorance, murder and oppression. It's quite obvious how I feel; I'm not an ex-patriot because I was never a patriot to begin with. The whole attitude of "love it or leave it" (which I get a lot) is a joke. Anybody using that tired ass phrase appears to me as a redneck, cross burning klan member and the next muthr fukr who says that shit I'm going to punch in neck. I'm not a pacifist. I believe people have the right to defend themselves. I also believe people of any nation have the right to overthrow their own government, when their government has become an oppressive state, on their own soil or foreign soil. But a government never has the right to overthrow another government no matter if it's in the name of preserving the way of life back on it's own soil or overthrowing an evil dictator. The american way of life is eating all the world's resources. In a nut shell capitalism is grabbing pillaging and raping anybody it can in a never ending cycle of death. This government has and is continuing to commit crimes against humanity and me leaving it or ignoring what it is doing is not going to change anything. But speaking out and exposing the hypocrisy of this country is. And I'll do it anyway I can; in song, speech, visuals, and in action. Of course, the more people that do the same the quicker the change will happen. Corporate news are telling us lies. We are being lead like sheep to the slaughter to the third world war. Guess what? America is the forth reich and we're living in germany. You want to look at a police state? Look out the window; we're living in it. And it is only getting worse. Graffiti could become the people's news. Anyone willing to risk their own ass can do it. A pen, spray paint, stencils, wheat paste (posters) are the tools. You just need to decide to get off your fukn ass ; stop watching MTV, fukr, stop smoking pot for 5 minutes, hippie, stop drowning yourself in alcohol you fukn punk and fukn bomb. If you ever watch the corporate news, you deserve to wash that shit out of your brain by telling the truth. The streets are ours, our minds are ours we need to take them back. go
