I am currently reading Hunter S Thompson’s book on the Hell’s Angels and it coincidentally has a lot in common with Manufacturing Consent. It’s about how the US media made the Hell’s Angels from an obscure, dying motorcycle gang into the monstrosity it became known of by using sentationalist news stories. It’s a pretty interesting book.

Also planning to quit my job in a few months, sell my possession and travel for a year after I finished converting my van into a living space. It may be the stupidest thing I have done but I want to try it at least.

Have a nice week everyone.

Oh yeah she is. We’ll do it together. We plan to combine traveling with WWOOFing to learn more about organic farming and stuff.

Family told me apparently german media talked a lot of shit about the former east german commie regime the other day. Gotta “remind” the peasants every once in a while I guess.

I recently started reading ‘Stassi State or Socialist Paradise’, anyone have thoughts? I don’t know nearly as much as I’d like about post-war Europe and its socialist efforts.

So days ago I posted about the Palestinian man that was found dead in my city, with his hands and feet tied together. Police may now rule it as… a suicide. I kid you not.

In my city that used to mean the police did it.

Similar thing happened in Australia. That was a while ago. Now you know what the checks and balances of liberal constitutions really mean.

Is this about the Australian Prime Minister who got ousted because he wanted to get rid of the CIA stationed in his country? I think Boy Boy made a video that referenced that.

That’s the one. And that’s a good video. Scary. I wonder if they’ve had any follow ups since.

Couldn’t use my bike to work today. Currently waiting for over an hour for the bus home that may or may not show up. The previously planned bus didn’t without notification. I live in one of the richest countries in the world and my bus route goes through one of the most populated urban areas of the country. Can’t even get a bus to drive. This isn’t an isolated case either.

Hope you got home okay. Public transport is so mismanaged it’s criminal.

Been there. Florida was like that. Pay fifty dollars a month for a privately-owned non air-conditioned bus in 98 degree weather that I can only ride 3 times a day that has the most basic routes they can’t find minimum wage bus-drivers for so that it could be an hour late everytime I needed to use it or skip over me due to capacity.

I do not understand how Florida is still standing.
