I AM THE 99%



I have just thrown together a simple free printable sign, "I AM THE 99%" to be use for people who occupy at home. The idea is to get people to post 99% solidarity signs at work, at home, in their cars. A lot of people are in favor of the movement, and I think we should all show our support by hanging the number 99 everywhere. Hanging up this sign means that you stand with the Occupy movement wherever you may be.

A lot of people have busy lives, work many jobs, have young kids, families, or medical conditions which makes it hard for them to get out and Occupy. This sign is just one way to Occupy at Home. Join in, show your support.

I will be making all of the colors available in printable PDFs very shortly.

The Best Kind of Pie; is OCCUPY



I believe in power to the people. I believe in small communities. I believe in self sustainable systems, I believe in locally grown foods. I believe in a majority of people taking part in the decision making process of what goes on in the towns around us. I believe in barter and trade. I believe in dancing and communicating with neighbors. I believe in peace.

I, William Hessian, stand in Solidarity with those who OCCUPY.

Solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street Movement




Despite working 5 jobs (to pay my debts) and 7+ days a week (a few double shifts), I have managed to get over to Occupy Minneapolis a few times. I held up signs and participated in a general assembly. I am inspired by the Occupy Wall Street and stand in Solidarity with all Occupy movements happening right now. I am especially inspired by Punk Patriot and my friends at the Free Change Collective. They are in New York peacefully protesting...which means getting arresting, pepper sprayed, and shoved around: all while filming a documentary. I am proud to know them. Click the links to see dozens of videos from the Occupy Wall Street protests.

Videos like this:



This is a really exciting time, but we need more support. We need numbers. We need more people to show up at Occupy and let the country know that we care and that we are paying attention. I will be returning to Occupy Minneapolis this week, and I plan to get as involved as I can given the time that I have. Here is a quote that I found really inspiring:

There are no excuses left. Either you join the revolt taking place on Wall Street and in the financial districts of other cities across the country or you stand on the wrong side of history. Either you obstruct, in the only form left to us, which is civil disobedience, the plundering by the criminal class on Wall Street and accelerated destruction of the ecosystem that sustains the human species, or become the passive enabler of a monstrous evil. Either you taste, feel and smell the intoxication of freedom and revolt or sink into the miasma of despair and apathy. Either you are a rebel or a slave. (by chris hedges)

BIN LADEN DEAD TROOPS COME HOME!



I finally found the image above at the Portland PAstes flickr Political Posters. I had originally seen it on the walls of a bridge in Portland Maine the day after Bin LAden was announced dead.

There is a video of those posters you can watch at the Portland PAste YouTube page.

9/11 Nuclear Demolition of the World Trade Center

9/11 Nuclear Demolition of the World Trade Center is a series of interviews I just recently watched put out by Dimitri Khalezov. Khalezov explains that the 9/11 buildings were demolished using old underground nuclear bombs that were initially put under the building when built as a demolition requirement.

The interview is a long talk and explains much of how he knows this information and using many other clips and videos to help convince us.

Recently I have been getting into a lot of new truth movement videos and websites. I have been getting involved with Peace Action Maine and a few other groups in Portland, Maine. This Friday I am putting on a Paint for Peace set up, while the Youth Network holds a series of speeches about the "History of Activism in Portland".

I will be posting more about these involvements in the near future. I have been focused on finding a job (success) and working on art projects. Now that I have settled in, I can start making more regular posts to Zombie Robot Frosting, especially about my recent involvement with Peace Activism.
