New York City is full of all kinds of stickers posted literally everywhere. Stickers, as we all know, are used for a means of promoting businesses, websites, people, clothing, ideas and stickers that simply exist for their own individual sake. Due to the plentiful amounts of sticker placements throughout the city, they can be easily overlooked and subconsciously blend into our bustling city.
Time is dedicated into designing each and every sticker ever posted. People pay to have them printed, for some to take great care, planning and hard work (believe it or not!) to designate areas to serve it's purpose. As humans, we tend to speak 90% of the time without a single word ever spoken, due to body language. A sticker ironically enough, relays the exact same concept to deliver a message or an idea, but with just an image.
The inner city "wallpaper" landscape is constantly changing as stickers get posted up, to eventually get tooken or torn down. And in most cases, due to such a short life span, some even go unnoticed. Just recently a blog was created called www.stickersofnyc.com to document that change in appreciation for what is known as "Sticker Bombing". The Sargonites were featured on this blog, whom are very honored and would like to thank stickers of NYC for putting them up!

" I was, after the fashion of humanity, in love with my name, and, as young educated people commonly do, I wrote it everywhere". ----Goethe, Poetry & Truth (1811)
This footage was taken by Morbius of "The Sargonites" on Oct 1, 2011. Morbius was among the 700 plus people that got arrested (set up) on the Brooklyn Bridge along with his brothers at arms, Marcel Cartier and Iz The truth form Guerrilla Republik!
The protesters of Occupy Wall Street are getting more and more organized as the days pass. Katy Tur followed them throughout the day and found out just what they are up to now.
An expedition of protesters from the Occupy Wall Street movement moved from Lower Manhattan to Washington Square Park Saturday.
Organizers of the demonstration say they will hold a "general assembly" at 3 p.m, which they describe as an opportunity to recruit new supporters and share ideas.
"The Washington Square Park thing is a great way to bring us to the next level," said Michael Fix, an organizer of the demonstration.
There are no plans at this stage to set up a 24-hour camp in Washington Square Park similar to the one that has operated for three weeks in Lower Manhattan's Zuccotti Park.
The protesters living in Zuccotti Park have built a full-service demonstration staging zone, complete with hot food, health care, a digital counter registering supporters, and a solar energy truck to help supply power to electronics.
"ITS VERY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WHO ARE PART OF THIS MOVEMENT, WHO ARE TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. YOU KNOW?, ITS NOT HIPPIES OUT HERE, WHO ARE STANDING FOR THEIR RIGHTS, ITS PEOPLE, OK!. SO, LETS STOP TRYING TO CLASSIFY AND CATEGORIZE US INTO SOMETHING THAT WERE NOT."
--- Morbius from, The Sargonites.
Plenty of indignant americans from all walks of life, continued to voice their concerns with an organized march that was routed from Wall street to Brooklyn.
But something did not go according to the plan.
What was to be a peacefull march, eventually turned out to get 700 people arrested and slapped with a summons for obstruction of traffic. Morbius, Iz the Truth, Dayv Cino and Marcel Cartrier amongst the many attending that day, could vouch for a slightly different story of how things went down.
The video below provides ideal images in question, of how NYPD led so many people to get arrested by purposely allowing them to walk on the street side of the brooklyn bridge, and on the pedestrian walkway. In fact, Morbius's arresting officer told him that, not only did he agree for why many came out to protest, but also admitted that NYPD was partly to blame for the massive round up.
Here's the play by play:
0:20 - People slowly making way onto the pedestrian walkway
0:32 - Clearly shows police officers doing their job, detouring people to the walkway
0:43 - Shows how NYPD lead the people onto the street.
NOTICE: The captain with the bullhorn walking backwards, not saying anything.
1:19 - The captain holds the bullhorn walking backwards, still not saying a word.
2:12 - One of the Chiefs with the white shirt waves over the nine cluless police officers with strap cuffs to eventually get into position.
NOTICE: The captain with the bullhorn is still quiet!
3:06 - The foot turtles from the rear eventually made it to the front with the strap cuffs ready
3:31 - The officers get ready into blockade formation
4:19 - The captain with the bullhorn, finally speaks! Saying that people are not suppose to be on the street, so either walk back or get arrested.
4:56 - Marcel Cartier gets arrested with 3 cops on him
5:05 - Iz the Truth gets arrested with 5 cops on him
5:20 - Police cars were blocking the protesters from the rear, closing them in
5:26 - Salute! to my brother Marcel Cartier as he gets escorted
and
5:41 - Salute! to my brother Iz the Truth from Guerrilla Republik, as he gets escorted.
The video below was chosen due to the perfect angles and clarity of what seems to be blantly obvious of how it all went down.
Morbius got arrested around 5:30pm and was hancuffed for five and a half hours along with others, being driven around the city in a MTA bus, due to fully occupied precints and paddy wagons. After finally in a vacant precint he remained locked up for 12 hours without food nor water. He was then later released at 4am Sunday morning to be welcomed by a strong cheer, food, water and clean clothes from other supporters, who stood by to care for their fellow activists. Morbius also has personal footage, that will soon to be aired publicly.

Please keep in mind that, events like this only strenghtens us as a collective whole and teaches us to become aware of strategic loop holes to our rights. These events should not trigger negative emotional reactions, as it should only empower our beliefs for a just and balanced system. Events as this, should inspire us for continous governmental education, to pass it along for others who are also in persuit for a righteous democracy. "We the people", are three powerful words that fortifies the concrete structure of who really is in control to our way of life in this country. And we should never be afraid to voice and express what strikes danger to our soverignty. It's not the mere sight of a weapon that we should fear the most, but rather the lack of judicial, legislative and amendment awareness that we are constantly being stripped away of, on a daily basis. Don't you notice how refreshing it is, when mutual mind sets convey and build on relative issues, uplifting every core of that experience. It's that very sense of unity we all need to come in accordance with, if we truly ever desire to see change in our lives. Let's all stay up, maintain and continue to be in pursuit of our own happiness. Peace.
ATTENTION: THIS SHORT VIDEO CLIP BELOW, MAY BE GRAPHIC FOR SOME. VIEWERS DISCRETION IS ADVISED!!
Police abuse is at an alarming rate more than ever before!
As you can see in this short clip above, if it weren't for this camera, these cops would've gotten away with their misconduct.
Most people in urban neighborhoods scoff at just the mention of the word "police". Many feel that the eminent logo and motto of "To Protect and Serve" on law enforcement vehicles, no longer pertains to the people, to whom it was originally intended for.
We are not going to state that ALL police officers behave in an abusive manner. In fact, there's plenty of law officials that perform accordingly, and without a doubt, have been merited for their outstanding work, while literally sacrificing their lives.
But the truth is that, police misconduct have always existed and was much harder to provide evidence several years back. As technology kept advancing over time, so did public cleverness to catch them in the act red handed.
Heck, even their own use of technology back fires on them (just look at the clip above!).
We would never know what goes through a police man's mind at a stop, but what we do know is how to properly utilize our rights to avoid situations from shady cops.
And here's how!
There's an educational nonprofit company called Flex Your Rights, which was launched in 2002. Their mission is to educate the public about how basic Bill of Rights protections apply during encounters with law enforcement. They create and distribute the most compelling, comprehensive and trustworthy know-your-rights media available.
This particular video has four parts and are roughly about 10 minutes each one. The videos will automatically play after another when it's done, So, we suggest for you to get comfy as you get informed, because these videos are very much worth the watch!
ALERT ADVISORY:THE VIDEO YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE WAS SEEN BY 4,232,815 VIEWERS AND GROWING!
The 2012 elections is on it's way and the usual politicians are already revving up their campaigns for the number one spot. Expect plenty of billboard ad's and commercials lashing out dirt at one another to gain public popularity, by portraying a false sense of sincerity and trust.
BUT! what if, there are some individuals in congress who are widely aware of the corruptions in government, the purposely poor making decisions by political figures of power and, not to mention, the lack of care for the people's well being.
Well, here's one man out of the few, who tells it like it really is!
The incumbent Democratic candidate for U.S. Representative from the 10th Congressional District of Ohio, Congressman Dennis Kuchinich.
This guy kicked ass so hard at the 2007 Democrate Debate that, in less than 44 hours after NBC sent a congratulatory note and an invitation to participate in the Jan. 15 Democratic Presidential Debate in Las Vegas, the network then notified the campaign it was changing it's announced criteria, rescinding its invitation, and excluding Kucinich from the debate!
Dennis Kucinich was wrongfully kept from debating in Nevada.
Quick Run Down: MSNBC is a joint venture of NBC Universal and Microsoft. And is ultimately owned by GENERAL ELECTRIC.
GENERAL ELECTRIC --(donated 1.1 million to GW Bush for his 2000 election campaign)
Television Holdings:
* NBC: includes 13 stations, 28% of US households.
* NBC Network News: The Today Show, Nightly News with Tom Brokaw, Meet the Press, Dateline NBC, NBC News at Sunrise.
* CNBC business television; MSNBC 24-hour cable and Internet news service (co-owned by NBC and Microsoft); Court TV (co-owned with Time Warner), Bravo (50%), A&E (25%), History Channel (25%).
The "MS" in MSNBC
means Microsoft
The same Microsoft that donated 2.4 million to get GW bush elected.
Other Holdings:
* GE Consumer Electronics.
* GE Power Systems: produces turbines for nuclear reactors and power plants.
* GE Plastics: produces military hardware and nuclear power equipment.
* GE Transportation Systems: runs diesel and electric trains.
So! It was the corporate moguls (who obviously control what we watch), were the real culprit's denying the congressman to continue his debate for presidency.
The following article is purely based on facts, opinon, perspective, some sarcasim and outlooks for the NYC tri state area. Also noted, that hurricanes are very dangerous as it does take lives and cause destruction to public properties and homes. We are in no way stating that natural disasters are not something to be tooken serious, but what we are saying is that many higher ups do take advantage of situations, regardless of how many lives are at stake. Just as much not preparing for a situation is dangerous, so is over preparing!
As we all know by now, when someone is losing lots of money, someone else benefits a whole lot more!
Yep! you guessed it! It's the usual corporations and Wall Street that keep piling in the dough.
But we all have to thank the media, for the superb feramongering marketing tactics, that work every single time on america's sheeple. You can't deny headlines such as " The northeast is going to feel the fury of hurricane Irene" and also " Irene could devistate NY" and of course "Prepare for the worst!" But my personal favorite is when you have these idot reporters on camera with no hats, getting drenched and reporting the news.
Let's take a look at the financial market on the close since Friday August 26th 2011, let's also take at peak of some of our favorite department stores portfolios of the day.
Well these guys are doing pretty dam good, oh wait! thats right, the media gave you guys the idea to head out to these stores and shop your asses off.
Now that we know who wins and becomes rich off disasters, lets now take a look at more of the serious aftermaths of hurricane Irene throughout the tri-state area. The one's who reap the losses, us!
A man walking in Hoboken N.J. Saturday morning. For all of you who aren't too informed. Hoboken was built on swamps and marsh, it's literally at sea level. Floods are pretty common in that area just on regular heavy rains alone. Flood insurance is also up there for hoboken, ask any property owner.
Here's a fallen tree in Brooklyn. Due to strong winds and heavy rain fall.
Plenty of floodings were reported more than anything else in the city.
Deaths were also accounted for, one in New Jersey and two in upstate New York. Here's the following reports,
NEW JERSEY
— Celena Sylvestri, 20, of Quinton, called her boyfriend and then 911 early Sunday seeking help getting out of her flooded car in Pilesgrove, police said. Her body was found eight hours later in the vehicle, which was about 150 feet off the road, police said.
NEW YORK
— A man in his 50s was electrocuted in Spring Valley when he tried to help a child who had gone into a flooded street with downed wires. The child was in very serious condition at Westchester Medical Center's burn unit, said a spokesman for the Rockland County Emergency Operations Center.
— State police said they recovered the body of a woman who apparently drowned after she fell into Onesquethaw Creek in New Scotland ,near Albany.
People losing their lives is always a tragic thing for a family. And despite the loss of lives, Im pretty certain people thought it was going to be alot worst than anticipated. Others say it wasn't so bad because we were prepared for it.
Really?? I don't know, but the last time I checked, water was every where regardless of what we did. We experienced a weakened category 1 hurricane that eventually died down to a tropical storm. Look at North Carolina, Virginia, southern parts of Delaware and South Carolina to see what a full blast category 2 hurricance can do.
With that all said and done:
To the people who experienced the loss of a loved one in this short peroid of time and homes being devistated, our condolences.
To those who fed into the hype and cleaned up all of the supermarkets, all super stores, those who will now have to give exrta batteries and flashlights as gifts to their family and friends at christmas, please Wake Up!
And Finally, to those who continue to become richer off disasters at the expense of other lives, and whom do not contribute not a single lick of attention to some of those in need....
