Occupy Library Square

4/6/2012 Occupy Salt Lake City moved from Gallivan Center to Library Square. Despite what some "news" reports state- I am here to tell you- Occupy is ALIVE AND WELL! In fact, not just alive and well, but the vibe there is nothing less than amazing. There is a completely different energy at Library Square. You can see the sky, and trees, birds, flowers, and PEOPLE that smile and engage you- not just concrete and sky scrapers.

The core members of OccupySLC were mostly present and accounted for- coloring eggs, singing and laughing. It is a beautiful environment.

As people walk, ride, drive by the Occupants wave, smile and greet them. It was so nice to see the response from those walking by and riding by on bicycles, some stopped just to return the greeting. I sincerely believe the change of scenery is a huge benefit to the movement in the Salt Lake valley,

giving a much needed opportunity to engage passers by.

As Easter and Spring are in the air it was not too out of the ordinary to see all the beautiful paint colors and the eggs being decorated. My children enjoyed very much the opportunity to decorate eggs with gold paint and bright colored powders.

In conclusion- my take on the move is only that it was a great thing for the movement and I am thrilled with the new energy with Occupy!

Apparently, Liberals Are The Illuminati

posted 10/5/2012 by the Salt City Sinner Greetings, sheeple, from my stronghold high atop the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Salt City, where I type this before a massive, glowing bank of monitors that display the ongoing progress of my 23-point plan for complete social control. Whether you want to demonize me as a "liberal," or prefer the Glenn Beck update "progressive," we all know the truth, and it's time to pull the curtain aside: like all left-leaning persons, I am actually a member of the Illuminati. How else to explain how much power my side of the aisle wields in U.S. American politics? According to conservatives, liberals/the Illuminati control the media * , science * , academia in general * , public schools * , public radio * , pretty much anything "public," the courts * , and Hollywood * . Hell, we pretty much control everything except for scrappy, underdog operations like WND and Fox News, or quiet, marginalized voices like

Cult Books: One Good, One Terrible

I’ve finished writing a new novel (stay tuned for details) in which the massacre at Jonestown in November 1978 plays a pivotal role. Both to research it and because the phenomenon interests me, I’ve read more than a few books on cults and cultic ideology over the last year.

The Garden Is Dead, Long Live The Garden

posted on 8/30/2015 by the Salt City Sinner The last two times that I wrote about gardening, the tone was uncharacteristically less “playful whimsy” than “agonized demon howl.” This is with good reason. The cockroach-hearted fauxhemian Whole Foods crowd at Wasatch Community Gardens, you see, did a terrible thing to me and many other people – they decided that agreements are for suckers and that what the world really needs is another blighted patch of asphalt rather than a large and vibrant community garden, and so they killed my garden (and the gardens of many others) dead, dead, dead. Forgive my bitterness: there is something about loving a patch of actual soil, about nurturing life from tiny green shoots to a luxurious canopy of flowers and vegetables that brings out a protective streak in a human being, and also a ferocious loyalty. The destruction of Sugar House Community Garden did not, however, end my gardening career – heavens, no! Instead, I and a handful of
