AMERICAN CRISIS 2015/ The 2nd Civil War: NEUTRAL GENDER MARKETING ... Don't Blame TARGET ... Blame "G.I. JOE" & "BARBIE" ... The "BLUE- GIRL & PINK- BOY" Edition ... (BATTLE OF THE DOLL'S PT.10)

Gender Neutral Boy (video interview)




Thomas Hudson Pickering aka "Ranch Chimp", "Commie Tommie" & "Skool" (short for old school) to kid's locally




This posting for the "Battle of the Dolls" series will have to go to the new neutral- gender story for the Target Stores in America, which has raised alot of controversy. And Thanx to my daughter for bringing this up to me the other day in some small chat humour, because I didnt even know about this, I asked her to fill me in since she is in the business of marketing ... she basically told me she couldnt believe that Americans dont have anything better to do, but gripe about this stuff ... so I decided to do a posting on this. But forget all the serious issues in politics, wars, 401K's and market losses, terrorism, etc, etc ... this is a subject once again that has Americans panties in a bind coast to coast (both boyz & girlz panties I may add). Of course I am also a fan of gender- neutral sports as you can see below with a favourite wrestler of mine I love to watch in action ... "G.I. Ho" ... and I added my gender- neutral photo above to be fashionable as well, as you can see my hair is like a woman's and I have a mustache & goatee of a man. And dont blame this solely on Target if your against this ... you can credit some of it to "G.I. Joe" and "Barbie" ... a couple more controversial figures that have sparked years of battle between the sexes and left/ right political and religious establishments. I think it is safe to say that "G.I. Joe" also influenced "G.I. Ho" to some degree, so we ALL influence and inspire each other. No doubt, it's enough to start a 2nd Civil War in America {: )

Some folks blame our neglect to do gender neutrality when it comes to toys for instance, on the 1950's stereotyping of boyz and girlz toys, marketing them in two categories to of course  boost sales/ profits. I was a child in the 1950's and 1960's, and can honestly say that my parents had no influence on me when it came to toyz ... I just naturally went for what appealed to me when I went in a store's toy department and raided it, I didnt give a shit about gender, colours or anything. I alwayz treasured the little toy soldiers and little battle field set- ups, electric train set's, toy gun's, balls, drum kit's, Lincoln Logs, Erector Set, Etch-A-Sketch, etc ... I wanted what I wanted, plain and simple. My mom told me once, that I stomped my feet till I got a "Rifleman toy rifle" for instance, I dont remember it, but still have a picture somewhere of myself with it. Mom also told me that I had a bad habit of taking my dad's hammer and nails, and hammering nails into wall's and windowsill's damaging them, and catching and eating live spider's, as well as eating raw ground beef, thing's she said she had to spank me for time and again ... I remember none of this myself. I built my own shoe- shine box/ kit and a hunting slingshot in school woodshop as a kid, when other kids were making shelves for the walls in the homes of their parents or whatever ... I was somewhat creative, I built my own skateboard before there was skateboards. I remember a portrait photo of my dad when he was probably a year or two old wearing a dress (early 1920's), I asked my mom, why was dad wearing a dress in the picture? ... she told me it had something to do with "English custom" (my dad's familia was from England), so I thought nothing of it after mom explained to me ... but I was curious as a kid, is why I asked her.

Another thing ... there is a follow the leader cult type mentality thinking that this move by Target is to make children bisexual, transgender or whatever, but this is also silly talk, as suggested or believed by Rev.Graham. It simply is a marketing move in response to customers complaints, who are trying to avoid the usual "store confusion" and detailed hard to follow sales gimmicks, it also helps the customer economize their budget better, giving a more wider neutral selection, and save shopping time. If you buy bedding for instance for the kid's ... is it importante to know if it is designed for a boy or girl? Do not these "straight families" of "straight children", not have kid's where the daughter commonly borrows and wears a brother's T- shirt, jacket, etc? ... so of course it's common in even the most straight and religious families, and been for decades, so there is no reason to make this a religious or political issue either. Below, first linked is a Washington Post article that had me laughing up a storm while reading it ... then I wanted to add a few videos with different points of view and genders to give their opinions on this hot issue. The first will be the mom, Abi Bechtel, that inspired Target to change, as she was frustrated in the toyz department when shopping ... and she look's rough, but I sure wouldnt want her to pin me down like I would with G.I. Ho. The 2nd "FOX" video/ news link interview with Rev.Franklin Graham who is outraged as well, and want's a nationwide boycott of Target, I believe based on some religion he market's. And last but not least, a little young lady named Riley, shopping in a toyz department, who is just plain fed up with the way toyz are marketed, and wants an end to the boy/ girl thing ... Enjoy! {: )



***** A little closing joke I wanted to add, that may get folks panties in a bind, but try to look at it with a little humour ...


***** Question: Why does a man with so much money like Michael Jackson, go shopping at places like Target or WalMart?


***** Answer: He goes for the sale of "Boys Pants Half Off"

LARKEN ROSE (PT.1): Resisting Tyranny & Oppression ... "In a FREE Country ... a FREE Mind ... SHOULD Question their FREEDOM when Needed" ... The "DON'T TREAD ON ME" Edition ... (SELF DEFENSE PT.29) & (PUBLIC PATRIOT'S PT.39)

***** Gadsden Flag (wikipedia)




***** www.larkenrose.com (website)



This posting will also serve 2 series of this journal ... "Public Patriots" and "Self Defense", and will be to highlight Larken Rose. The video with Larken below is to look at what freedom means as far as what America values ... and questioning when is it in our right to resist certain actions of authority that may seem against us, our country, and what we value highly. We know by natural instinct and reason ... what is "right" and when we are "wronged" (with the exception of a few with maybe mental disabilities or intoxicated) ... you dont need any written rules to tell you that. Also included below that is the controversial article Larken wrote on Copblock, which is an excellent article and straight. We constantly recite we are the land of free, and home of the brave, our Constitutional Rights, liberties etc, etc ... so this is just that ... it is about a free mind and questioning is all. If we dont fight or protect what is ours, who else will, eh? ... I mean ... we dont expect foreign countries to come over here and protect our freedom, eh? ... of course not. It's more common today, that when a person speaks of the possibility of tyranny ... that many American's call them conspiracy theorists, radical extremists or whatever, and act as if tyranny is impossible, or only a thing of the past. On the other hand, some of those same people question and complain about some of the actions of authority and those who represent us in our government ... tyranny and oppression is part of civilized human history, so it isnt like it miraculously vanished.

This posting is not to advocate that we should go out and shoot cops or politicians ... this posting is about what we value in America, it is about having the freedom to question, oppose, and if necessary resist that which is harmful to ourselves and country ... not to simply just say ... "whatever is done to us is for our own good". What we value as far as our liberties wasnt easy to accomplish as it is ... many have really put their necks and lives on the line to get to the point of where we are today ... and if we throw that out the door simply based on pop- culture talk ... we will not even be able to have a pop- culture, or even be able to speak, question, or think freely. When you listen to the video below and read ... try to set aside the left/ right thinking that we love to indulge in for a moment ... this is not about left or right ... it is about what America stands for and what made it so we can think and question the way we can today. I chose the Gadsden "Don't Tread On Me" flag at the top of the posting and as part of the posting's title for it's meaning ... so it hasnt a thing to do with the Tea Party political group of today who is known to use it, nor what Larken has to say has anything to do with left/ right choosing. To close out the posting I chose the classic 1991 Metallica piece/ song "Don't Tread On Me" which is fitting, and it will also be included in this journal's "RCJ Music/ Arts Honour Roll Society".

SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY AMERICA: America's DRACONIAN SEX INDUSTRY ... & How America SUX for BUX ... The "SCREWED & TATTOOED" Edition ... (SEXPLOITATION NATION PT.28)

***** nationalrsol.org ... (national "Reform Sex Offender Laws")



Part 28 of the "Sexploitation Nation" series will be a look at the latest sex industry of America, which many see as a type of Draconian system ... I frankly dont even know how to label it myself ... I'll admit ... I'm shocked. I am 59 years old, born and raised American, married with kids and grandkids, and have never seen nothing like this in my life, and am amazed at just how insane this nation has become with it's sexual obsessions and paranoia. I do know that when people talk about how free and liberated we are in our nation, they must be completely brainwashed, hung up on political correctness, not old enough to have experienced more freedom, or whatever. Thank goodness that people across the nation are questioning and fighting these laws on one avenue or another. And this isnt actually new, this has been going on for years, and is why I selected links and vidz below that are current and older ... however ... in my opinion, being one that alwayz looks at the money profiteering angle ... it IS becoming a NEW multi billion dollar industry as the way I see it ... which is why I say America Sux for Bux, they will do any bloody thing to make a buck. This like much else today, is another way to penalize every American possible and have them locked in like everything else in this nation today to a life (or most of their life ... and especially the young for the long- term pay- off) of paying fee's, fines and penalties, with so many restrictions that keep's them getting deeper and deeper just for basically "living". In my opinion what we see today is clearly as well in violation of the 8th Amendment/ Bill of Rights of our Constitution as far as cruel and unusual punishment, excessive bails/ fines/ fee's/ penalties ... and even "torture" through psychological trauma. And I am expecting to see many folks start to come forward and challenge and appeal these cases, to where the courts are swamped and backlogged ... and IT IS in order and justified.

Part of what inspired this posting today is this recent case with Zach Anderson below, 19 years old, simply done what many other teens online do, meeting a date and hooking up, the judge (Dennis Wiley) who has a history of severe punishment on this sort of thing is reconsidering now from what I gather ... but that's NOT good enough, considering all the damage done to Zach and his parents and what they went through, and even so far spending over $30,000 in legal fee's! Even though after a couple months or so incarcerated, Zach is released on 5 years probation with over 60 restrictions, he cant go to a mall, cant meet with others such as familia/ siblings that are teens/ kidz, restricted from smartphone or internet use for 5 years, 25 years as a registered "sex offender", cant go to church, cant go to a public playground/ park, cant even go to a restaraunte that sells alcohol, will have a hard time just trying to find a place to live ... and probably even finding a job, etc. My question is not what he CANT do ... I wonder what he CAN do? NO ... Zach and his parents need to fight this tooth and claw, and sue if anything for anything you can get ... this is wrong as you can get, it doesnt have a damn thing to do with morality or keeping kidz safe or related nonsense ... it is simply bullshit to lock young Americans down to a life of servitude to a corrupt system. If this was about morality, keeping kidz safe or other scare tactic rubbish, they wouldnt allow these online dating services to flourish and even shove their commercials/ advertisements 24/ 7 on mainstream tele/ TV and the internet down our kidz throats ... they taunt our children and citizens with sex, then set up agencies to free you from wanting sex, calling it an addiction, putting folks on pharma drugs or in over- priced groups sessions, or incarcerating them in corporate owned privatized correctional/ therapy institutions, etc. For some kidz in our nation today ... you get screwed/ sex ... and you're tattooed for life through penalties and persecution.

But Zach and the kidz are not the only ones targeted as you can see below ... this one couple not even nude or engaging in intercourse, basically grinding on a beach in Florida similar to lap- dancing as the defendants claimed, were facing 15 years in prison ... both consenting adults and going steady with each other, a witness claims that a 3 year old girl on the beach happened to see it. A young married couple who are on the sex offender registry, cause when they dated, one or the other was underage. Prostitutes (female and transgender) in New Orleans charged with sexual crimes and having to register as sex offenders because of some Louisiana law having to do with oral or anal sex for money (not vaginal/ penis) violates some kind of "crime against nature by solicitation law" ... just imagine that with all the environmental damage being caused by greed and corporations while "soliciting" our political representation/ lawmakers, especially in a place like Louisiana ...  sex is a "crime against nature"??!! There are hundreds of thousands across American states if not millions that will get hit with this ... some simply for consensual dating, urinating in public, or a woman with her breasts exposed. This shows the depth of this insanity. Politicians in this nation who are supposed to represent our people are NOT doing enough, or much of anything for our nation at that, except prostituting themselves to Wall Street and their lobbyists on every avenue ... it doesnt matter if your left or right, as a whole, not a damn thing is getting done. You know what the political big news is today? ... more endless shit about Hillary Clinton email accounts/ servers ... I shit you not (nothing about the issues that any Presidential candidate will be faced with that make and break us). Below I chose just a few vidz and newsreads out of many to view to get a grasp on the current reality in America, and what clearly needs to be fought against.

***** THE SOLUTION:

I see the solution to this as being simple actually, the video above for example explains the different tiers that can be used to categorize an offense. In my opinion this should not be a state to state issue, the Federal Government should jump in at the legislative branch or even the U.S. Supreme Court, as they done quickly and simple on the same- sex marriage issue as far as solving that. Nevada for instance has a 4 tier system I believe as far as your registry being made public, bottom line, being if you are really dangerous to others, kidz or whatever, but still it doesnt go far enough in my opinion, but is a start. "IF" we simply used a 3 tier national system to categorize this (made into solid law by the Federal Gvmnt) ... we could even eliminate having to make a person register for something simple as pissing in public, or perhaps a drunk gal out on the town partying who may suddenly flash her breasts in public, or other simple related things. So simply making law ... and keeping this serious issue out of the states hands, because they will only nitpick and confuse shit or bring in corporate lobbyists or religious groups to decide, who will be biased in every way, and NOT have any solutions based on fact or common sense, some of which couldnt fix a damn flat tire without fucking that up.

GREAT AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE, ART & CIVILIZATION of Native America ... "MESOAMERICA"

"Piramide del Sol" (Pyramid of the Sun) Teotihuacan, Mexico




This posting will be for the "Music/ Arts" section of this journal to highlight some of the art, architecture, civilization of native America, or what is called "Mesoamerica", the pre- Columbian societies before the Spanish/ Europeans invaded, and I guess basically told all these folks that they were doing everything ass- backwards (wrong), and they needed European guidance, culture/ religion or whatever (even though history shows that when the Spanish came into these territories like Mexico as we call it today, it was to basically take all the gold and silver and anything of worth/ value). When we talk of America these dayz and great cities, we think of north American cities like New York City, modern industry, and mega cities like Mexico City Mexico, Sao Paulo Brazil ... and it would seem like before Europeans came to the Americas ... it was nothing. But a few thousand years ago when some Europeans were living in more primitive huts and didnt know much of a damn thing, civilization was starting on its own in the Americas building large bustling cities of trade and culture that were thriving, with some of the earliest written languages in the world, arts, music and musical instruments, modern irrigation systems and agriculture, mathematics and astronomy with star observatory decks, what we would see as well designed apartment/ living complexes, baths and water, with sports events held year around using rubber balls (which was unheard of at the time) in a sports type ball game that was similar to a mix of soccer and basketball of today, politics where the ruling classes, or what we call the elite class showed their devotion and appreciation to nature and the people they ruled over by even shedding their own blood in battle or ceremonies (something I feel we should require of our so called leaders of today) ... this was the roots of American civilization.

When I was a kid in grade school in the 1960's for instance ... you basically didnt hear a thing about this ... I mean ... we heard of things like Christopher Columbus and his discoveries, or about LaSalle, and all the immigrants from Europe that came here, when we heard about pyramids in school it was way over in Africa/ Egypt, etc, but I took an interest in these cultures when I was introduced to it by a friend from Mexico, Isabella and her friends when I was younger, so it wasnt through any American school/ institution ... and I thought it was a pretty fascinating cultural era with much beauty to it, and just wanted to record some of it in this journal ... so I took an interest in this many years back. Today there are several million people in these regions who still carry on the tradition of Maya culture. Some video and read below, and a nice classic Maya dance ritual gig and music with great percussions work, done today for traditional festivities, show and tourists ... Enjoy!

***** POLITICUS USA: The Real Black Lives Matter Wants Activists To Publicly Apologize To Bernie Sanders ... (another article here from Daily Kos) I need to add this here, because according to this, these women are said by BLM, to not represent I guess the organization officially, so I cant tell you if or what organization they do represent ... in fact, I was reading elsewhere, that Marissa Johnson, was a Sarah Palin/ Tea Party supporter previously, so I'm confused, and cant tell you how reliable this information is either ... I mean ... I'm the kind of guy who if I dont actually belong to a group/ organization ... I sure as Hell wont pretend to ... maybe it's a local independent branch?? (They identify as "OA 206", a Seattle BLM rally cry group, I guess) I didnt find any of this out till after this posting. But I am going to let this original posting stand as is, because the point here is NOT if these women are official representatives of a particular group/ organization, but for the message of it. I also want to point out to the reader who dont know me personally, that I'm NOT biased based on race or gender, I dont dislike white people in other words, or favour one race over another, I believe in science and nature above all, and humans are biologically alike, it is our cultures/ tribes, religions, politics, wealth, etc, that seperates us, and sometimes working against each other, dictated by those with the most power to influence it, these postings are simply about being fair and balanced.


 ****************************************************



Part 26 of "From The FOXHOLE with Bernie" series will be to highlight the disruption through activism that came about yesterday in Seattle at a Social Security anniversary event where Bernie was a guest speaker. Of course the biggest news today in the media ... actually for the last few dayz, is the GOP debates petty bitch fight between multi-millionaire journalist Megyn Kelly and multi-billionaire businessman Donald Trump ... which was a pointless debate that covered none of the actual issues of this nation, but instead just served as talking entertainment over popular celebrities and related show business. But I chose this political story to cover, to point out a serious issue in America concerning millions of Americans, and in particular Black Americans. I chose Ms.Marissa Johnson of a local Seattle Black Lives Matter movement to open this posting ... then some newsread below that from The Seattle Times. Also, part of this postings title "White Supremacist Liberalism" was inspired by Ms.Johnson's words to the audience in downtown Seattle. After I will add my input on this below.

(Bear with Me) Thomas Hudson Pickering (aka "Ranch Chimp" & "Commie Tommie") with daughter "Bear"



First of all I want to commend Senator Sanders for doing the right thing here and walking away ... handing over the microphone to Ms.Johnson and Ms.Willaford ... I know it must have been a frustrating experience for the Senator having this been done as well before in Phoenix a short time back, where BLM activists disrupted another rally. But I am confident in the Senators heart, that he understands the frustration as much as these young ladies do ... Bernie himself was in the same position a half century ago, when it was REALLY unpopular especially for white Americans to side and fight for civil rights for Black Americans, which Time magazine called "The Radical Education of Bernie Sanders" ... Bernie even went to jail over it, while fighting in the trenches to desegregate Chicago's racist school and housing systems ... as well as marching with Dr.M.L.King ... Bernie like these young activists was in the trenches, so his instincts kicked in despite his being upset for being interrupted, because the man "been there and done that". The interruption in my opinion is "justified" ... believe me ... without this kind of action ... these young Americans ARE NOT heard, and at some event's with other politician's who are guarded by everyone from the Secret Service to local police to rent- a- cops, many times these activists cant even get within 30'ft of a candidate before they are taken down and in many cases locked up or thrown in a mobile/ temporary cage, with multiple felony charges against them, overbloated bail bonds imposed, and excessive force used against them ... while politicians play it off and get off the subject, or try to outright ignore the issue.

Many of the folks that attended this rally (Social Security anniversary event) were angry and disappointed, wanting to hear the Senator in a daylong event that featured many speakers before Bernie, but they should be able to understand why the condition is the way it is, and what inspired it most importantly. Some say that they think the Hillary Clinton campaign is behind this disruption ... personally I dont even think Hillary Clinton would do anything like that ... but ... I wouldnt put it past perhaps a few in her campaign to try a stunt and not even tell her a thing about it ... I mean ... these folks running for office do not know sometimes, those who are arranging everything in their campaigns. But I do know that this type of disruption and activism is past due for our 21st century in our nation on multi level's and events, and to especially disrupt these events of these establishment political parties, and the REPUBLICAN Party should really be targeted harshly and without consideration ... especially with this new attack on civil rights in America. Seattle by American standards, is considered as a ultra type liberal city, and many of the most liberal cities coast to coast in the 21st century is where you hear and find some of the most harsh injustice against black and minority communities ... I mean ... you may commonly expect that in southern red/ conservative majority states, but what is the excuse to have this in such liberated places like Seattle, Oakland, Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, New York City, etc? ... cities with so many liberal and democrat majorities, cities with so many people of colour in politics locally, and every major office held, and saturated with what some see as white ultra liberal's. Listen to Marissa Johnson when she welcomes Bernie to Seattle, and look at the condition in Seattle that Marissa talks about ... that's what grassroots is about ... and that's REALITY 2015!

Not even the organizer of this event in Seattle, Robby Stern, wanted to let these women speak, and argued with them, yet let so many others speak before Bernie, saying he would only let Marissa and Mara speak after Bernie ... that is when Bernie made the decision, and just said ... "give them the mic" ... then Bernie participated for the 4.5 minutes of silence for Michael Brown, before he left. The bottom line is ... many of even establishment Democrat's wouldnt do that, without being advised to and having a pre- planned script to follow. Look at some of the politics and politician's in our nation, especially those in Washington ... and ask yourself, with all their power to make change and to make legislation to try to suppress some of the injustices in our nation, in some cases with just a simple stroke of the pen ... why are we having this same ole same civil rights issue again, a half damn century after the civil rights movement? What did these politicians with the power and voice to represent American peoples interests do locally or on the Washington level? Look at the track record before you judge a politician, then you can accurately assess a politician ... simply by their actions and record ... Bernie Sanders record clearly speaks for itself, and his constant action against some of the racial and income inequality that feed's this institutionalized racism of today (I myself am a "capitalist", and DO NOT believe that we should all have EQUAL INCOME as I explain here, but believe that capitalism today is way out of balance, and can be economically and socially unhealthy). In the meantime, I want to commend as well, these people like Marissa and Mara for putting their neck on the line the same way Senator Sanders did when he was their age a half century ago ... this is healthy activism, and hope to see more out of these grassroots movements like Black Lives Matter and others of all races, genders, left or right in the future ... and put these politicians to the challenge that are taking this country into the toilet, THAT IS the American spirit!


That's the Realty ... Word Out ....

***** POST NOTE ... THE FLIP SIDE (added 11 August 2015)


Politically speaking now, I wanted to add this post note because so many Sanders supporters were and are disappointed, angry, frustrated, etc over this incident ... because I AM ALSO a Sanders supporter, but I see this a bit different than some of his supporters. I actually look at this incident as a POSITIVE for his campaign (if I were campaigning, I WOULD WANT to be disrupted like this, just so these folks could voice unscripted, the raw reality and their frustration), here's the deal ... every other candidate NOW, is going to have to either copy Bernie (as usual), or accept what Bernie accepted as far as his cooperation letting BLM have their voice right then and there on demand ... it dont matter if it's Clinton, O'Malley, Bush, Trump, etc ... if they do not respond in an acceptable way to these groups, they will be pigeon-holed, and most importantly in MSM, because they are alwayz covered for every time they fart or send a text, since they are big name candidates, that means IF they use force or deny the same privilege or even access that Bernie so generously gave, their mainstream image will take a hit, trust me ... and that shit will spread like a California wildfire in MSM. Already "LIL B" who is one of the more largely covered internet/ YouTube Rap artists is supporting Sanders over Clinton just after this incident ... also see that after this happened to Bernie, he had just hours later a 15,000 gathering also in Seattle (at his official rally), and another 28,000 or so gather in PDX (Portland), which was his largest yet and larger than any candidate, or even a few candidates combined totals at that. So look at the flip side to this, not the short term or keep the red- ass (angry mood) over that one day ... the way Bernie handled it was great ... let's see how others handle themselves in similar situations or how regulated and restrictive they will be to the peoples, eh? That's why I want to see these groups expand and even disrupt this "assembly line" way of politics in these campaigns ... get my drift, eh?
