#OccupySLC: The Kick-Off

Images and Video courtesy of Salt City Sinner - feel free to redistribute with permission (I'm nice - just ask!)

#OccupySLC commenced day before yesterday at 10:00 AM (-ish) with a rally at the Capitol Building, followed by a march to Pioneer Park:

Folks started to set up camp.

The weather was miserable (cold, rain, wind) but nobody seemed too put off by it. As of my last check-in #OccupySLC is operating on 24-hour camping permits fully approved by the police. The SLPD has been civil, helpful, and generally very cool

A small contingent of crusties (click for more info) set up "camp" as well. For a movement that warranted a post from Andrew Sullivan denigrating the anti-cap and anarchist kid contingent, there weren't a lot of crusties (and no Situationists) present. Of everyone I spoke to, the punks seemed the most cynical and least optimistic about the goings-on, but they were there to make their voices heard even so.

Of course, one strident Ron Paul supporter (and bless him for showing up) is all it takes for Chanel 2 News to decide they've found a serious spokesperson for #OccupySLC. Note that Ryan Kane, who IS something of a spokesperson for #OccupySLC, intervenes.

Of course, had Mr. Channel 2 News given the Ron Paul supporter (whose name I unfortunately did not catch - please contact me if you know his name or contact info) enough time to make a point or two, they might not have gotten the "Look At The Freak" coverage they were looking for:

I did get a chance to have a few brief words with Ryan Kane as well:

It was a cold, cold night, but #OccupySLC is in full effect.

I'll be getting more footage and pictures and stories from the goings-on as I can.

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...

Where (Else) to Find My Writing

REGULARLY UPDATED Posted on 1/9/2020 - UPDATED 2/4/2025 MY FULL-LENGTH NONFICTION DEBUT! BLACK SUNRISE ON PISS EARTH: FASCISM, NIHILISM, AND THE 21ST CENTURY OCCULT Black Sunrise on Piss Earth: Fascism, Nihilism, and the 21st Century Occult is a nonfiction, anti-fascist, punk rock, and no-holds-barred look at the role that nihilism and the postmodern occult have played in the development of fascist movements in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and elsewhere – a coordinated movement I call the Fascist Internationale. The manuscript’s title is a reference to Piss Earth 2025, a piece of fascist agitprop that I respond to, using my refutation as a framework for looking at the dangerous, deadly, and dumbass ideas undergirding everything from QAnon and Christian Identity to Nazi Satanist- worshipers the Order of Nine Angles and portions of the Asatru (Norse Pantheon worship) and chaos magick communities.

Glenn Beck and Cleon Skousen: A Match Made In John Birch, Commie-Paranoia Nutjob Heaven

I fully intend to stop using Glenn Beck as a punching bag, but damn it, there are a few things that I just can’t let slip past me without comment. In a previous post, I linked to a video of a weepy Beck flogging his latest project/marketing vehicle, the so-called 9/12 project (the intent is to bring us all back to that kumbaya, trans-partisan state of nationalism that followed the greatest American tragedy in recent history). As I stated in said previous post, I’m a big believer in giving people a fair shake, and so I have been giving the 9/12 Project’s website a thorough going-over. One thing I will admit that I like about the project is that it encourages people to read – and, unlike Michael Savage or Bill O’Reilly or any of the other pontificators of the right, Beck actually wants his followers to read *real* books, stuff like the Federalist Papers and Tom Paine’s “Common Sense.” There are some unfortunate right-wing revisionist biographies of various founding fathers tucked i...
