Autoasphyxia - The Sins of Silence

Autoasphixia - The Sins of Silence


The press has turned
its collective back
on the Bush Administration.
Hear no evil.
See no evil.
Speak no evil.
There is rarely, if ever,
thorough research undertaken,
as if the press wore the same
hood as the prisoners at
Abu Ghraib,
preventing critical vision,
conceding investigative incision,
enabling ominous division
and conquest of the population.



Like those who lived
in the shadow of the crematoria,
denial does not make it - not so.
And the black hood of coercion
slowly bleaches to the snow
white hood of the Ku Klux Klan.
All that's necessary for evil
to triumph is the silence
of one good man.
The powerful cowardice
of the sin of omission
is aiding and abetting
democracy's attrition.

"A time comes when silence is betrayal."
- Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

GEORGE W BUSH by Brian Evans

George W Bush hit on these ‘ere master plans,
He’d get all them pesky ayrabs and such,
On Mcdonald’s and other depleted mucks;
They’d fall right into his oil and blood stained hands.
So the super-clean teams, zealots and preachers,
Of the American media engines of rule, our teachers,
Arrived in them there ayrab badlands
But ohmigosh them towel and burka heads were so healthy! -
How to turn ayrabs into fast-food fat compliant fools - be stealthy?
It had worked in Beijing and Sydney (mirrors and smoke);
New Zealand was a pushover already hooked on Coke,
Battered greasy fish and fat soaked chips,
That ends up on hearts, cheeks, tummies and hips,
Kiwis suspect our muesli, beads and sandals folk-
Who just plot to keep us well is all - some hope!
But them pesky arabs had no westies and such denizens
Or talkback radio - unless you count them muezzins
And praying six times a day; all holy public prayer drill;
No poor-white trailer-trash or Oprah or Doctor Phil,
And people being made mad by their unholy splits
In the extended family, like us poor stupid gits;
Lord, unlike us they only shot their guns to the heavens,
In praise of the continual joinings and happy weddin’s
And ceremonies and song and dance -
You could see that here, real men, still rule-
Not some jumped up, mixed up, poof fool-
Broadcasting his or her slimy family-splitting drool.
Ayrab religion is a total mix of God and Politics,
Which are lead by men - not secret-agenda drips;
Unlike us who individualise which weakens the common-good
And lets the advertising ayatollas of Madison Ave and Hollywood,
Have us hooked on their ‘happy meals for families’,
Who’re gonna hyper-split-up their family trees.
Well before old George W could have it all,
There came this poet both lean and tall:
“Make my day you mummy’s boy!
Junk like yours means we’ll be passing hard ’sinkers’,
Not the soft ‘floaters’ that make oatmeal munchers pinker;
Your weapons of mass digestion will give folk pain
And pollute more than your spent-uranium insane
new bugs will be outa control,
Killer-food tsunamis like no other toll!”
George W now parks your car at Fallujah Mall,
And that muesli eatin’ poet is president is all.

Go to google.com and put in “Sharon Stone” and “legs”
http://www.celebritymoviearchive.com/tour/name.php/197
is the first result.
There is a daily re-enacment of a woman doing the crossing legs thing on Fox News.
Most times she nearly does….nearly
She is flanked by two twittering gaybos and they together rivet America and any other country dumb enough to play their garbage.
Western TV is presented by soft men and hard women. They seem able to present all the crap without any qualms. There are heaps of examples in our own media. The nazis had a hard core of them, without which it could not have rolled on and on…
I am not talking about homosexuality (which is normal of course). Put “The Pink Swastika” into http://google.com and research for a day or two. It will change your life. Uncensored has made some wise aspersions as to how a certain gay agenda gets a free run in New Zealand media now…That agenda is often quite destructive. Violent movies and junk food took over our children’s lives. Ask how did that happen? Under whose watch? Did they have children, themselves? And so on… Are our “censors” gay. And is that ‘destructive gay’ or ‘normal gay’- with an agenda to bend us, break us and rule malevolently, without conscience. And get the mad folk elected that we have now, who never have the guts to blame our media for anything. Luckily certain Green Party folk do not acquiesce - but our’media’ stifles their greenie rage..
With me, they send the police around and they are getting younger and now have pepper spray and soon tasers. Brought up on american TV they are unpredictable.
Watch as the mad sick media presently is trying to blame everyone but themselves for “BULLYING IN SCHOOLS”. What a farce! And what direct copycat rendition of that toxic “Fox News”.
Well hey, just 10 kiwis dialling round the clock could get our country free again. But everyone is “too busy”. Well enjoy all the strife and misery. But watch out for those from the media who try to insert themselves into Uncensored. Don’t trust them. They will do just the soft crusade which never changes the nazi status quo.
As the oldest guy here I say good luck and get ringing…
I saw all this mess coming years and years ago as proved by my site http://apoem.com
