This will be a fine show for the Sabbath- 800 Octane, THE THEM, Pistol Whipped Prophets

Gonna be a great weekend- Actually it's going to be a prelude to an excellent week! When we get back to Eugene, we have a heinous show lined up with Potty Mouth Society and Potbelly at Oak Street Speakeasy (915 Oak Street, Eugene, OR) as one of the shows on the Potbelly/PMS mini-tour. Potbelly has a brand new album out that you need to hear! One things for sure- Bring your beer goggles and party hats because every time we play with these guys everyone gets fuck-housed- NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART..

I think by now that every intelligent person can agree that the war on drugs is nothing more than a racket to provide the state with money and cheap labor. We learned a lot from the prohibition of alcohol. The current prohibition is bigger and better and has a world wide jurisdiction. Drug cartels and government are working the dichotomy and making a fortune. The enemy has become drugs. If this war was legitimate, the strategies would be based off more specifics. If this war was meant to be won the state would be targeting specific drugs, not just the all encompassing blanket that includes drugs that are so harmless and easy to procure that enforcement is a joke. I am not going into the farce that is the war on drugs. It is here in the present. I have a solution to the war on drugs.

 

I refuse to choose a side in this war largely because both sides want my money. I just want to get high without the hassle. Drug dealers and drug enforcement agencies are fighting tooth and nail. We can make this stop by simply producing our own drugs. Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free? This is the age of communication. There is a how-to manual for anything and everything right at our finger tips. We don’t need a drug dealer anymore.

 

Producing our own drugs is a productive alternative to standard drug consumption. The idea is to only produce drugs for personal consumption. This will keep your costs low and will give you more options in your approach to production methods. Producing for personal consumption is also the more ethical way to using drugs recreationally. I could never call a heroine addict who produces their own heroine a junky. This is a person who is self sustaining their own need. This is admirable as there is nothing wrong with getting high and there is nothing wrong with staying high as long as you can still take care of yourself.

 

Drug production is illegal regardless of your motives. It is hard to convince the judge that all those lanced poppies are for your own personal consumption because they want your money and your labor. This should not deter you. This should encourage you to be creative. No one can say that they can not produce drugs. This is just being lazy. There is not a single situation that our predecessors in the drug production trade have not found their way around. If you are too stupid or too lazy to make your own drugs, you probably shouldn’t be doing them. Have some fucking dignity.

 

Producing your own drugs will save you money. It will also save you from all the terrible experiences that come with buying drugs. You will always know your dealer. You will never get ripped off. You will always have the uncut best of your favorite drugs. You will never run into dry spells where your drug is simply unavailable. It is putting the power back into the hands of the consumer. It is a solid use of personal productive energy. I also found it a wonderful learning experience. One can learn a lot about horticulture and chemistry from producing one’s own drugs. This “side effect” will carry over into other aspects of your life. You will be empowered to make your own medicines and to grow your own food. No one with dignity would let the government and the dealers take money from their pocket. When one purchases drugs, this is what they are doing. Stop contributing to the war on drugs. Produce your own drugs…

 To be able to appreciate anarchy one must have a large amount of tolerance towards all things. This is why I denounce all that is politically correct- especially when it applies to the anarchist. It seems to be a trend in the modern anarchist to be politically correct. Somewhere these elitist/socialist/communist/fascists posing on the platform of anarchist have taken it upon themselves to define the politically correct attitude as one of acceptance, as an anarchistic trait. I feel as all “correct” attitudes- dogmatic, moral, and lofty- it is an attitude of exceptance.

 

To begin with, these anarchists have decided that they can tell us what is correct. This instantly builds walls with the bricks of judgment, as flawed as the minds that lay the mortar. As it has been shown, anarchy cannot exist within confinement. It must be free flowing, spontaneous, and able to shape shift. To judge is to classify,to classify is to cage. Tolerance, when caged, has nowhere to roam. It lives in its own filth, up to its knees in its own shit. Tolerance, like all caged animals, is in a state of static degradation and has its spirit slain. It becomes a mere husk and no longer tolerance at all.

 

“But we accept all things”, you hear these moralists whine from beneath their anarchist’s clothing. “We accept all people and ideas of all kinds without judgment”, they boldly claim with their wretched and feigned humility, unless you start to define the developmentally disabled as retards, feminists as femi-nazis, or hate speech as free speech. They are not tolerant of these things.

 

I propose true acceptance. I propose true humility. I propose true tolerance. I don’t care if you’re a Black Panther, a Nazi, or a United States Congressman. Say what you will, do what you want.(do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law) It is my responsibility to agree or disagree. It is my personal choice to like or dislike you and your (in)actions, but it is not in my best interests to judge anybody. As soon as one takes on the impersonal responsibility to pass judgment upon others, that person lives in a world of dead ends and cages. Box upon box, row upon row of empty husks.

So, it's that time of the year again- Ernie Blah Blah Blah is doing there battle of
the bands so some suck ass band can be featured on their stage at Warped Tour-
Stupid vote for this shitty band crap...  Well this year we're doing our part- we
signed up for their Hillsboro Oregon battle...(we only do this shit because we
can.) We are on a mission to add our piss (probably literally) to the mainstream-
so if you feel like taking some time and damaging your pride- as well as ours- take
a bit of time out of your boring life to join us in this vision, as we would find
it quite humorous if the mainstream audience (as well as the assholes who make tons
of cash from this crap cow) was exposed to us like a bloody toilet seat... Do your part in poking the public eye!

Here is our solution of POETIC TERRORISM to exploit and expose this farce...

Encourage Expression Destroy Mainstream....

These "battles" are all a fuckin' joke. It a way for marketers to draw hits to
there website. One gets tired of the frenzy of all the bands lobbying votes
faithfully doing their part for the man. We decided it would be poetic terrorism to
participate. Seriously folks- could you see Pistol Whipped Prophets playing Warped
Tour. All the big wigs would shit themselves. That's what it comes down to. Good
"legitimate", "hard working" bands don't have the connections to play the
mainstream. The "vote for your favorite" set up is like all elections- a GODDAMN LIE-


We encourage you to throw some CHAOS into the mix. We encourage you to CHEAT LIKE
HELL to put PWP, your advocates of chaos, within poking distance of the public eye...


We prescribe The Law of Fives:

First, set up five seperate email accounts so that you can make five different
profiles to vote for us at this URL:
http://www.battleofthebands.com/pistolwhippedprophets

Second, encourage Five people you know to do the same.


The third thing-

Now, the nice thing about this "battle" is that you can vote for the same band once
a day until it's all said and done. So, just remember your five accounts and give
us five  votes a day (or more if you are that dedicated to fucking shit up for some
ill intentioned band) ... It'll be interesting to see what happens...
