Spring Brings Out The Drummers

While at Occupy for an Easter visit some of the Occupants mentioned their desire to join the rendezvous at Liberty Park believing that the Drum Circle should be out in full force. Only one child in tow with me today we had plenty of room to take a few others for the drive over to Liberty.

As we walked from 1100 East where we parked on the street over to the East side of the park I could hear the beating of the drums getting louder. The louder they became the harder my heart began to pound- excitement was flowing through me.
We joined the drum circle but only after passing by several other small gatherings of friends and families. It was a warm and sun shiny day- perfect for Easter and springtime gatherings.
I had no idea what a large group of drummers there was. The earth vibrated with their beats- the dancers moved to the sound. It was all intertwined. I was amazed at the amount of people there, but also the diversity of the group.

Many young children enjoyed the warmth and joy found in the park this afternoon. There were many familiar faces from Occupy SLC @ Pioneer Park whom I had not seen in months. While watching the

dancers and drummers I met a beautiful woman, a former professional photographer. She asked to see my camera and we began discussion on our dislike of Photoshop and our common desire to capture a perfect shot without any need for alteration. She was kind enough to allow my a photograph of her Rosie the Riveter tattoo. I wish I had caught her name, all I can tell you is that she also shoots with a Cannon, but far better model than mine. (Yes there was a tinge of jealousy when she told me she shoots with a 5D).

After a few hours of photographing the drum circle a new dancer appeared, adorned in black with a silver coin belt. The red streaks she had dyed in her hair lit up like fire in the rays of the sun. Her movement mesmerised many, it was amazing to not only watch her as she danced but to watch the spectators as they also watched her entranced.

I can not wait to go back!

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.

A Sinner's History of Utah: The Commercial Street Red Light District

posted on 8/12/2015 by the Salt City Sinner I moved from Utah to the American South as a teenager, and pretty quickly learned that if you hail from the Beehive State, there are a series of extremely dumb questions you will be asked when people first meet you that would not be asked of someone from, say, South Dakota or Maine. “Are you Mormon?” is obviously the first one – and a pretty reasonable question, all things considered. That is usually followed up with some sort of question about polygamy, however, which is lazy and ignorant and gets old remarkably quickly. Sometimes I would be asked if one can buy alcohol in Utah. This is, again, a not entirely unreasonable thing to ask, especially since many of these interactions took place back in the days of private clubs and membership cards – but it did strike me as a little silly given that I was often asked about Utah and booze while going to college in Conway, Arkansas, which is a town located in a dry county where sales ...
