Monkey Business

The Man From Brand X

Ostensive reflections on a life well squandered.

Sometimes When

This first part is my Headwaters Forest legal battles & deforestation update circa April 1995 followed by a great set of Warrior Poetry performed by my friend and the founder of the Warrior Poets Society Dennis Fritzinger.

I have also uploaded here at soundcloud all of Dennis's set without any of the announcements. And I have uploaded just his performance of his poem free al gore.

This, what was to have been last week's ANDY'S WEEKEND GAIABILLY FESTIVAL is a 1995 alert to Festival Goers about the people who would become today's RepubliTrump seditionists: The Wise Use (sic) Movement of the REAGAN REVOLUTION's ECO-HIMMLER JAMES WATT.

This anti-science privatization fascism that envelopes us today was invented by Reagan over forty years ago with privatization looting of our wild lands and liquidation/extinction-is-fine-because-Jesus-will-be-here soon resource extraction.

They were going after us, in Earth First!, Greenpeace, the Sea Shepherd Society, and the animal welfare movement. They organized to kill us in the name of the Red, White & Blue, but it was the same Christo-Fascism birthed and fertilized by Reagan Revolution Republican Fascists. He even warned us with the name Reagan REVOLUTION (!!!) but most of us thought he was kidding.

I talked about all of this and shared an FBI bodywire recording made accidentally by an infiltrator Special Agent Mike Fain, talking to his supervisor about us, and showed a Wise Use movie made by Denmark fascists who stole my footage (but gave me credit in the end credits!) to illustrate their EF! portion of the movie.

I snipped out most of the Danish bits for this audio clip. "The Man in the Rainbow" and a discussion in my audience afterward discussing how we saw Greenpeace make up part two.

I hate to interrupt your musical grooving with this alert (and very little music–where is it?!!), but this is STILL Important as this corporate Frankenstein has been allowed to metastasize and become a far worse pandemic of dummified Human Pox than any virus will every be.

Back then, I even warned of the threat posed to abortion rights.

Andy's "War Against Earth First!" Wise Use Mvmt talk, 4/16/1995 Berkeley P. 1

This segment begins with the audio (most Danish speak edited out, but not all) of the Danish Wise Use Movement anti-environmentalist movie, "The Man in the Rainbow." All of their Earth First! video was stolen from me, although I am listed in the closing credits. I should have that complete video up at youtube shortly after uploading this audio to soundcloud.

The movie is followed with audience discussion and my assessment of Greenpeace as depicted and in reality.

Dr. Bandy Lee saw it coming – the violence foretold in Donald Trump’s election.  While millions of Americans were still trying to figure out if Trump was just a crude playboy and fast-talking con man she felt a duty to warn the country about dangerous possibilities stemming from a man who lacked the mental fitness to be president. For almost 20 years she had been trying to understand violence. It was her calling. After earning medical and divinity degrees while studying at Yale and Harvard, and a stint at Massachusetts General Hospital, she joined Yale’s faculty to teach in both the school of medicine and the law school. In her clinical practice, she treated inmates in maximum security prisons. And in time she began applying psychiatric concepts to public health and safety. When Trump emerged as a political candidate, everything she had learned from her career in mental health seemed to converge. She began corresponding with kindred spirits and colleagues about how best to make their voices heard. She would become the catalyst of their collaboration, and the editor of the book they produced, titled THE DANGEROUS CASE OF DONALD TRUMP. It appeared just months after Trump’s inauguration and became an instant bestseller, dubbed by The Washington Post as “the most courageous book of the year.” But not without a price. Bandy Lee and colleagues had broken ranks to speak the truth, had stirred the hornet’s nest, and the hornets came after them in swarms. Now, Bandy Lee has published another book – PROFILE OF A NATION: TRUMP’S MIND, AMERICA’S SOUL.

Bill Moyers recorded this interview with Dr. Lee on January 14, 2021. It has been edited for clarity.

A freelance journalist's compilation from September 2016- March 2017 of police negligence, collusion with vigilantes, and Human Rights abuses supported by government officials in Southern Humboldt. This testimony was requested by HHRC in their April meeting. I emailed it to the commissioners email address they requested on 4 different occasions starting the very next day. No response has been made by any commissioners, except by Chris W., the commissioner Estelle Fennel Dist. 2 Supervisor removed from his position in April 2017 for "causing friction," aka seeking to realize solutions.
