Adsense Reminder

  As much as I hate the capitalist system, I'm poor as fuck. So I have recently installed adsense. If you don't know what it is, I basically get paid every time you click on an add. Not much though. It is something like 53 cents per click. As much as that sucks, it is my only source of income. At all, so think of it as a donation without having to actually donate your own money.

  If you want to help NFW grow, and help me not starve, that little act does a lot. The ads are ugly, so at the very least give them a reason for being there instead of simply brainwashing or some shit like that.

  Even something like a .com to help NFW grow costs money in this shithole. And so does replacing the moldy food in my food-closet with something that wont kill me to consume.

   You don't have to do this obviously and I don't blame you if you don't. But this is basically my only job right now and I'm my own boss and I'm too damned broke to pay me.

Roller Coaster Death-Count At Infinity

*I am sorry (not really) to be posting about something a tad more glum then whatever fucking royal baby just got born into an easy, careless, elite life. But I have not decided yet if I give a shit enough about that to morph it into a reason you should give a shit, when in reality you shouldn't. But, depending on how my day is, I might think of something to spit out on the incredibly stupid obsession with the ordeal.

  Statistically, there are no statistics. A recent Texas death caused by falling out of a roller coaster, has sprung up some interest in the subject. Only to find that we don't have an actual death-count. Which is pretty interesting, considering that seems to be all people give a shit about: death, terrorists and getting fat.

  Smith (some twisted bastard researching how many times people die) said they don't "really" have a good system for catching not only theme-park deaths, but injuries as well for kids under the age of eighteen. The latter is a tad bit more understandable. But outside of media coverage of events like this that warrant interest, there is no number on how many people are dying out there on these overpriced death-traps.

  And while 4,400 children are estimated to be hurt on said rides (currently no exact information on the time-frame of the count) there is no mirroring documentation on adults. To make matters worse, a full seventeen states have no agency responsible for inspecting amusement rides. Meaning that in said states, you have no real way of knowing if you're gonna go up, down, and loop-de-loop, or fall from one of the tallest wooden roller coasters into the morning headlines.

  Don't worry too hard, there is some good news. You have a 1 in 24 million chance of being seriously injured at a fixed-ride theme-park.

   Personally I think all of you dare-devils blowing your money on a Russian-Roulette motorized Chinese-Dragon are fucking insane and that's a risk you're taking. Although I think it's pretty fucked up that they don't pay much care nor attention to the whole MIA-Death-List of something people should be safe with. But, hey, crazy actions can lead to crazy results.

2,300 California Inmates On Strike: Solitary Torture

In this case, it doesn't matter if you agree, this is by far the best article NFW has had yet!

*Brainwashes you into agreeing*, just kidding, NFW does not support brainwashing.

  This isn't the first time inmates have gone on strike, likely won't be the last either. But that certainly doesn't take away from how proud it makes me when slaves make a stand. I might be biased, I had fasted when I was in jail. But I was only away for five days and that doesn't really qualify, does it?

  The hunger strike had started on July 8th, with 30,000 California prisoners across the state refusing to eat due to what they claim is an inhumane solitary confinement process. Today, July 18th, a total of 2,300 inmates are still refusing to eat.

   The amount we lost, is saddening, but that doesn't change the importance of the act. The California prison system is obviously collecting far too many bodies. Under a court order, they must release 10,000 inmates due to over crowding. Lets face the facts here, guys, we aren't talking 10,000 dangerous people, they aren't going to rape your daughters and rob your banks (though the latter is fine by me). If the course wants to get rid of them because there are too many heads, then why the fuck are they there in the first place? *My conservative readers, assuming I have any, should attempt to give me an answer for that.

   State prison officials unsurprisingly justify the cells by reciting small truths such as visitation rights, chess boards, and 27 channels on a TV. I will not list the flaws to these justifications:

1.) Visitation Rights: Okay, so what? You get to see what you can't have. You get to be forced (I say you for a reason, imagine this life as yours, you don't have to do anything serious to go to prison so this is not out of the realm of possibilities) to see the ones you love, knowing you can not hold them, love them, touch them, kiss them, sleep with them or much of anything with them. However, when you are surrounded by guards, cement and bars, it's the little sanity you will have, so you will take it. Some prisons allow sexual advances, as they are legally obligated to, but most do not uphold this law.

2.) Chess Boards: This doesn't need a lot of explanation, just because something is associated with upper class, does not make it a life saver. Having a Chess Board will not make you happy, it will not make everything okay, it will not give you your life back.

3.) Television: TV is a distraction, which is known to be harmful to the human species. It does more harm then good, and hardly makes up for being behind bars. After all, it's just another form of "See, no touch, no live".





   While breaking prison rules will give any inmate a limited amount of time in solitary, if one is deemed a gang member, they may be thrown in solitary indefinitely. In all reality, being classified as a gang member, in general, is fairly arbitrary and assumptive. Imagine how it works in high school, now imagine that ten fold in a place where people may have to join up with groups in order to survive. What I am saying is, you could just be trying not to die and risk solitary because of it. I should mention that in jail I had met a man who had chosen to hang out with the white pride groups, but was Greek, and not firmly racist. He had pretended to be a part of their click, in order to survive.

   Force feeding is legal, it is being practiced in Guantanamo Bay. Federal judges have denied requests to end force feeding. It is illegal to commit suicide in the united states. So if they decide the inmate is attempting suicide, they can force food into them.

  The prisoners are also asking for increased privileges and improved food (though I fasted, one small taste of the food they had, by my cellmates worry and request, had made me thankful I was fasting). There is currently no sign of the demands being satisfied.

   It will shortly be 11 days of the hunger strike. We owe ourselves some appreciation for what is happening. These people do not have the right to have rights, they are animals in cages, they have lost the outside world and plenty of them may never have a chance at having it again. And yet, despite all of this, they give their passion to fighting for what they feel in their hearts is worth fighting for. All our distractions, all our petty fights, all our domestic abuses over unwashed mother fucking dishes, all of this, is fucking childish.

  In solidarity*

Fuckin' Fun Facts: California has previously violated the Prison System's law by overcrowding to the point of cruel and unusual punishment.

An investigation is wanted into allegations of doctors having sterilized 148 women in California prisons in the last decade.

In June a Federal judge had ordered 3,000 inmates to be moved from two California prisons due to not getting proper care and were in danger of contracting a dangerous airborn fungus.

Fresno (CA) County's Largest Pot Bust: Police Get High As Hell

*Note: I have little against ABC as a whole (once caught them reporting on anarchism in, get this, positive light) and virtually nothing against them locally.

  Okay, okay, so I don't know for sure how high the cops got, the DEA, Monsanto, or whoever it is that took home the gold, err... I mean green. But what I do know is this: I had recently caught a post by ABC30 Action News stating Fresno has gotten its' largest pot bust of the year. Congrats, assholes, now what am I going to do when I squirt the police with water guns. Just kitten, I don't do that, pussies like getting wet. Lord forgive me I'm getting off topic.

  *Back on top-ic!*

 

 

  So, firstly as always, a summery of the event. Sherriff deputahs (dep-u-tahz) had found a 66-acre farm near Belmont and Zediker (makes you want to say "zeeeep zeeeeep biddle biddle zap zap"), and air patrols came to discover "thousands" of pot plants a month (or so) away from harvest, with other crops masking the happy-green.

  According to Sherriff Mims, she wants grow it herself! Just kidding again, she had this to say: "When we get people out of state to Fresno County to grow, that's unacceptable." 

  You know, foot traffic is usually something an economical society attempts at bribing people into, but if there is pot involved suddenly it's a bad thing? What about how that weed money will eventually, at least a bit of it, be reinvested into local shops? 66-acres of income, you can not tell me this will completely miss the area in which it was created. I am not a drug dealer, so I don't know, I could be wrong. But this picture (and text, I put the text down as well incase you would prefer that medium) is a statement I made to ABC30's Corin Hoggard.

                                                                            

                                                               CLICK TO ENLARGE

 

"It's really silly to get rid of that much pot, what about stuff that keeps harming people, like crack, meth and police.

 

66 acres worth of pot, most of the money collected by that is eventually going to go into, local and otherwise, stores yes? It's not like the dealers (lesser and greater) are going to hoard the money. If they had that state of mind they wouldn't have a need for the business anyway and wouldn't be in it.

 

So, 66 acres worth of happy-grass income and a good portion of this likely would stimulate the local economy. Stores can afford more, they have a greater ability to hire new employees, ultimately leading to a slimmed down home-bum population (people who are homeless and generally unable to find work and unwilling to make something greater with that freedom, but not always, just an observation and bias). I mean the list keeps going for a little bit.

 

The DEA, in my opinion, needs to get off their binge-drinking high (or should I say stoned?) horse and let these things slide, it's not hurting anyone in this case, right? I mean, who is gonna go out of business? Smoke shops?

 

Of course I am sure that the FPD's odd mixture of radically conservative and potentially careless nature is just as much an issue with economical strife vs virtually harmless stimulation (economical and otherwise).

 

In cases like this, in my personal opinion, every person here dying of starvation is a product of the same ideology that keeps cleaning out weed farms." Said I.

 

  It is possible that I am wrong here and there in my statement, I might not have been high enough at the time to properly give my opinion. No thanks to the Fresno 5-0 Drug Swine.

 

  Once again I ask, how do YOU feel about the story? Light it up and let me know.

Zimmerman Is Found Not Guilty

  Firstly I am going to summarize who George Zimmerman is, and what he did. His name doesn't exactly sound dangerous, it comes off more like a freckle-faced comic character or an 80's TV show title. But that's not the case. No, Mr. Zimmerman went to the trouble of murdering a seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin (whos name evidently is not registered by google's spell check, nor is "google's", the former of which will likely change now). Zimmerman is a grown ass man of twenty-nine years. And his grown ass had shot and killed Trayvon. He had claimed Self-Defense, he had also resisted arrest, but then who wouldn't. But if you ask me, in my personal opinion, some blood and bruises isn't enough to kill a kid. The kid wasn't the Hulk, now was he?

 



Zimmerman                                                                                        Martin

 






                  VS









  Zimmerman was ultimately charged with murder and had gone on trial. It was suggested, although not officially known, that Zimmerman had profiled Trayvon and committed a race crime. Today, 7/13/2013, Zimmerman was, by the judgment of a jury, found not guilty.

  A lot of this makes little sense, sometimes kids can be dangerous yes and sometimes they can do stupid shit. But, in my opinion, Zimmerman's police call says there is a lot more to Zimmerman's intent. Listen for yourself:
                                                                            CLICK TO PLAY

 

  You can hear some very clear remarks that suggest Zimmerman is bigoted, either towards "suspiciouskids" or people of darker skin tone. Both of which are probably true. Even I don't like suspicious kids, having been one and all.

  I want to know how you feel. Did the jury fuck up, or is Zimmerman really truly just an everyday dildo who killed a kid out of self defense.

Microsoft Gives In: XBOX ONE EIGHTY

  Holy shit, I'm reporting on video game drama! But it's important. Why is it important? Well hold your ponies for a second and let me tell you.

  Firstly it is important because this means that a monster-company like Microsoft got bossed by their consumers. And that means that the people had the power of the choice of a monopoly. Secondly it's important because judging by the stories here that get read, my general audience seems to be more into less important things then stuff like Edward Snowden exposing one of the most powerful countries on our earth. And as a writer, I need people reading my shit.

  Here is the down and dirty, Microsoft had the following list of absurd rules for their Xbox One system:

1. 24 hour online check required.

2. Can not play games offline without having checked in online.

3. Can not play used games.

  Now they have taken those rules and scratched them, after having refused to do so. For Xbox gamers this is great news. For Sony, this is a kick in the balls. I say this because Sony capitalized on Microsoft's rules. And I highly doubt that didn't play a role in Microsoft changing their minds. Of course, the PS4 is still going to be a great system for a great price. 

  I'm poor as fuck, but I'm still a gamer. Even though I have sold all my PS3 games for gas and a little food. And personally I don't think Microsoft doesn't deserve to play a role in any art medium. I seriously despise Microsoft. Ever since I was prompted to pay for Microsoft Word. But hey, the consumers gave them shit and the master obeyed. That's pure badass and you know it and if you don't know it you suck. Or you're not a gamer, which is cool, strange and boring, but that's fine. Chill out I'm kidding, you only suck a little.

  Although this is a win for gamers in general, Sony still holds the torch for Next Gen gaming. But still, you Xbox players bitched your way into getting what you want. Even if what you want sucks. I'M KIDDING AGAIN. Shit...

Snowden Is Changing The World

  For better or worse is up to you to decide. But you'd be hard-pressed to claim otherwise. Chances are you've already heard of Edward Snowden by now (if you haven't don't worry I'll sum it up).  And I meant to report on this earlier but things came up and besides the story was hardly a seedling at the time. Now however, things are getting even more juicy.

  For those who are unaware of what Snowden's badass is doing, he has managed to expose the US government's surveillance inner-workings. And in doing so he has exposed breaches of privacy on the American people. For a lot of us, it isn't surprising that we've been monitored without warrant nor admittance, but we never had proof. Now not only was this information exposed by an NSA operative, but further information has been exposed as well. And that leads us to our V's new "hideout": China.

  Yes it looks like the US has got itself into another political scandal. See, they are also spying on China. Which just screams bad idea, honestly, duh, right? Just duh. Bad move America, bad move. Anyhow, I personally had a feeling China wasn't going to be upset with Snowden's presence, and I was right. China's people are ticked off at America now, and Snowden is probably pretty safe for the time being.

  A reportedly small protest (900 people, is small in china I suppose) chanting slogans such as "Shame, U.S. Government" and what not kick-started Saturday urging Snowden to be allowed to stay in Hong Kong. This might not be enough to keep him safe in of itself, but if it grows it probably could. Right now it's too soon to tell. But I will tell you this, this man has shown sheeple that they need to open their eyes and grow some fangs. Of course, some of the sheeple prefer to be sheeple and have commented on the subject with statements such as "This man is a terrorist" and go on to say how we should not be aware of who, how, when and why our government monitors us. Oh nationalism, you silly thing you.

  I like what is happening and I think more people need to act as strongly, openly and bravely as Snowden did. I am not saying he is a hero of any sort or even a full example, but he did something most of us are too cowardly to do. He did more then picket and go home.

  You're being watched, if that's fine with you so be it, but if you're like me and would rather not be watched by a master, then maybe we need to think pretty damned hard about how we are living our lives and what we stand for.

  And how do you feel?
