A Barren Place: California Bookstore Replaced By Police Substation
Wednesday May 11 2011
In the wake of the closing of Borders Bookshop the SCPD has increased their overt pressure on the musicians and craftsmen native to, and traveling through Santa Cruz California.
These itinerant craftspeople have been known to purvey their wares within the boundaries of the city's arcane laws regarding sales, vending, noise ordinances with no known or stated standards, trespassing laws that encompass half the available sidewalk space as is the case in front of Borders Books, and the police are on scene this morning to specifically show the citizens of Santa Cruz how welcome they are, and to prove-by-their-presence that generally, hanging out and enjoying the day on Pacific avenue, a PUBLIC STREET, is a significant enough event to warrant(sic) 'observation'.
Pacific Avenue, in the intervening years since the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989, has become an ugly blight... A failed corporate business-inhabited 'Shopping Mall', with the only revenue producing businesses apparently being the bars frequented on weekends by UCSC students, wherein Santa Cruz increases it's bloated police budget, but NOT it's city treasury, enforcing laws related to a host of universally problematic alcohol related crimes.
This is RazerRaygun saying "Take It Easy... But TAKE IT!

1984...Twenty Five Years On: The Surveillance State - You Are Being Conditioned On A Mass Scale To Accept It
"Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it... All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals.It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of (Cf. minute 7:45 in the video for more on this...) their own children." ~~George Orwell, 1984
Note: This video is 9 minutes 26 second long!

Feeling powerless kids?
Some things that have historically been effective in alleviating that feeling:
"Sabotage in armament plants and war industries, sabotage at all gatherings, rallies, public ceremonies, and organisations of the National Socialist Party.Or: "Are you so shut down you can't feel no more?" (Tom Petty, When A Kid Goes Bad)
Obstruction of the smooth functioning of the war machine ...
Sabotage in all the areas of science and scholarship which further the continuation of the war - whether in universities, technical schools, laboratories, research institutes, or technical bureaus..." ~~The third leaflet of the German anti-Nazi group the White Rose
