| Lordpatch User Info... | http://victoria.indymedia.org/news/2005/09/43489.php Notes From New Palestine: Poor Folk and Crimies (doin the best they can) "Why Palestine? Because it is a just cause, a noble ideal, a moral quest for equalit y and human rights." --Prof. Edward W. Said (1935-2003) “on 07 sept 2005 at approximately 9:00 am the city of victoria informedthe tenants of the caldwelll apts located at 2321 cook st that their building had been condemned. the caldwell apts seems to be owned by robin kimpton, if so, this would make yet another of his buldings to be condemnd leaving more people suddendly homeless in our hood.” And so with the fall of the caldwell apts the peoples are left in a s.o.l. situation to deal the loss by themselves. The power crew skip to my loot and the community centre in the square feels no need to anwser for the pat on the back they just gave the slumlord of fernwood for his negelctand disrespect of our hood citizens --because after all bad things happen to bad people, ri? As we have seen in the ever self vindicating need to add legitimacy to ones own life and flaws, to seek identity in a label and definition and in turn labeling and defining others as the oppostion/the enemy/the evil -- to recreate ourselves and reality and embed deeper into the avoidance issues of the increase sociopathic behavior of our civilazation, we have made out to be the peoples not fitting into the consumer dream of complete conformity -- be it alternia or suburbia -- to match the failed standard of our society -- who "litter" or “loot” our gentrified streets, buildings and zones by daring to exist, to be seen, by daring to attempt to live, yet still not look nor think the part of the neourban/rural cool (thetrouble with our zones), as the reason for the lack of peace in our in discontented/disconnected world, therefore, deserving of injustice, their abuse and finally to get robbed and disappeared. With the tragedy of these poor folk and the blantant wrongful actions taken against them – the theft of their funds, loss of their homes and no concern for their safety, as a result of the action of the “good guys”– the homemade (in)secruity with it's identity swipe cards of ‘right like us’ is threatend, therefore; our created world does not become as just as was promised by the dvd rentals, magazines, coffee talk bring comes and cyber ads. it is encouraged that we find our daemon and then use the tool of capitalISMS or more greed -- the ever effective weapon of massdevilment -- which is the daemoncractic metaphor of dispossessing = 'might makes right' to bully those we we feel we can. the objects objectified for this targeting? the poor and those perceived alone in our world of frustration in this theatre of insantity. and so on 07 sept yet again the drug dealers, junkies and nare do wells have been disappeared from our hood sent off to a redzone elsewhere and wehave our noble squire robin kimpton to thank for his community activism.it would be media cool to think of these folk as the evils of the world = poor, addicted and insane (possibly muslim, homophobes, woman haters and socalists)-- and in this case white -- b.u.t. the reality of it is they are humans, and citizens of this hood some being students, workers, labourers, and those considered more evil than a muslim – the poor. whatever else one may be thinking of writing or chatting about these tenants of the fallen caldwell apts it is best to consider this -- don't throw stones. The hood is the heart -- Fernwood the place, b.u.t. new palestine is the state of mind. new palestine seeks justice-- new palestine is about fluidity. new palestine only throws stones at the opressors of the fallout (the suffers, the workers), for the cause of the righteous who are simply, as james brown intoned to us to breath; doing the best they can, doing the best they can doing the best they can for this is the hood inwhich these new palestinians lived -- like us all-- and it was a hood who had a city offer a "you're s.o.l." attitude and assistence as it allowed a slumlord like robin kimpton to clog hop off, asif singing “bye bye black bird”, with the booty given to him by those very disposessed folk in his caldwell apts and the mega hella scrilla sent to him by our less than communtiy orientated centre for the purchase of his other eyesore building located in the square of the hood of this fernwood/new palestine. “The poorer sections of the working class, …were abandoned to their fate by the capitalist system and a corrupt political leadership on several levels. Those that survived were again abandoned when it took nearly five days for relief efforts to begin,…”— Irish Republican Socialist Committees of North America -- “Hurricane Katrina - A Question of Class” in the film “the poseidon adventure” the ship is the metaphor for a world over turned and class is the issue for the people who must remember where they came from inorder to survive -- for they are trapped in first class and drowning and they must make passage to the lower decks inorder to survive. where is life? in new palestine it is a thrash and roll of flow of all ages punk shows unapproved by the nabobs of conformity. It is revolution of the mental, two turntables or the burner out to build new indie cds for the local unsigned hyperballadeers. It is dropping sciences on the spot. it is sharing flow like civil verbal clashes of sonic rhyme and metre in every season –it is standing up to bullies and legging it throw allies like resistencefighters armed with weapons of thought and big spirits and not with gunsof destruction supplied by the disrupters of u.n.i.t.y.. new palestine is running like mad men and women to help those were beaten on sidewalks for the cause of good violence or left homeless and abondoned by the greedof the slumlords and the siccophants who take over their dungeons and zones of tyranny. in this era of might makes right over those poor and those perceived alone -- you know, what people call drug dealers, junkies and such to be safe in the good vs bad mental state -- we must think of the pornography of this recent poppyshow of kimpton and the dis given to us by our communty centre who chooses to show him love for his years of racist renting policies, greed and the wicked gates he placed people in where they were raped, beaten, invaded, depressed, abondonded and abused. …and so maybe we can do the nyc thing or the l.a. la la land and san francisco dot com deed and rebuild the caldwell into swanky overpriced flats for the bigoted gaygouise, yups and their boppin kids what got credit. Wouldn’t it be so groovey cuz they look so much better that what use tolive there – what we have buried in lies and who are now simply the bad guys and I hear they were dang ugly. …b.u.t. in reality with our hearts in a place with our minds in tacked,we must address and seek justice – proper compensation for those left with their rent, damage deposits, homes and dignity taken by a theif(ves)given power in this messy era and taking too much time at the mic. Hold up! …reload …did I say diginity taken? No. I wrote that. Naw, this the place fernwood -- the heart - the hood -- the mental state of struggle -- new palestine – ain’t nadabody can take that away -- cuz we can deal with the reality that evil exist in suits and ties and property rights for the neocool and their coopted media of mediocracity that life is mulitpulicity andpeople are general as we pick each one up, wipe the blood of the streets, remember the day and start again. 1426 Lawrence Y Braithwaite (aka Lord Patch) New Palestine/Fernwood/The Hood Victoria, BC Irish Republican Socialist Committees of North America Hurricane Katrina - A Question of Class http://victoria.indymedia.org/news/2005/09/43479.php see also 07 sept 2005-- Today at approximately 9:00 am the city of victoria informed the tenants of the caldwelll apts located at 2321 cook st that their building had been condemned. the caldwell apts seems to be owned by robin kimpton, if so, this would make yet another of his buldings to be condemnd leaving more people suddendly homeless in our hood. http://victoria.indymedia.org/news/2005/09/43451.php and in these times immersed in the absurdity of systemic acts of cruelty and double standards in this messy area , some call the west , which is now embedded in the midst of a treacherous performance piece -- it is only logical that in an illogical world run by bullys, abusers, simpletons and usurpers -- that frustrated valid bruthas will invoke acts of will to powerand make you feel the pain they feel.— “ notes from new palestine: revolutionary suicidal tendencies (the war brought home)” http://victoria.indymedia.org/news/2005/08/42933.php and http://victoria.indymedia.org/news/2003/11/18295.php or http://www.canada.com/victoria/timescolonist/story.asp?id=9BD4DCD5-6586-4DAF-91EC-8A7791CBC059 and "Every place needs a mythology. It sings for it. When it gets to the point which it is singing then it only hopes that it is heard. I hope I got to transcribe the notes right. It has a certain tone to it -- a certan bassline. This place/my hood/barrio/community, well, it became a place where you knew people cared enough to help each other out." "Slumlord of Fernwood -- I guess it's funny but I still got to holla" http://victoria.indymedia.org/news/2003/09/16713.php http://victoria.indymedia.org/news/2003/11/18506.php http://groups.yahoo.com/group/drumbeat-weekend_edition/ See also: http://victoria.indymedia.org/news/2005/09/43451.php http://groups.yahoo.com/group/drumbeat-weekend_edition/ - Tue, 13 Sep 2005 7:19pm | ||

| Kimberleykaos User Info... | Yeah, what he said. - Thu, 15 Sep 2005 2:45pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Gotta feel for anyone getting screwed out of shelter, for certain. Gotta hate slum lords. They should have to live up to certain standards if they are going to receive money to rent out their hovels. If they don't, they should be fined and have buildings impounded. On the other hand, there are treatment centers, jobs and other places to live out there too. I guess it really is all my fault because I'm not a strung out dude who is unemployed. That's it...my entire next paycheque is going to these people. Especially the ones who are hooked on hard drugs. - Thu, 15 Sep 2005 4:09pm | ||
