About Me

Is it selling out if we’re buying in?If we’re buying in, are we selling out?Che threw stones from the outside, and all it got him was a t-shirt effigy and commercialized.Is it not better to take the system apart from the inside out? Erect new monuments to our direction and irreparably change the status quo.From the Redwood forests to the Gulf Stream waters, this land is made for not you, but for us.If the corporations run the world, we will run the corporations. And do so well.Can we not do more to change the world by accepting the way it works? Beat the system and change it’s rules.Orwell was right. Freedom is submission.One does not swim against the rip current, but flows with it, escapes it, builds a channel and never has to worry about it.We don’t fight. We win.We are artists, poets, and writers. Corporate guerillas. We are revolutionaries in suit and tie.We are the new vanguard.
