Insurrection

They have almost-frictionless ceramic frying pans these days. They're cool as fuck, you can sear in them without oil and nothing sticks to the pan. I got to use one for a few minutes while I was doing a trail once (they cost a retarded amount of money though, I'm not even going to estimate).

Apparently it had a base removal foam that could be applied with a hose, rendering it water soluble, wherein it would simply dry up.

And Dex, the videos are almost that good. "Yakkity Sax" would be perfect. They effectively set up two ropes across a grassy field, sprayed the material down and challenged people to try to make it across.

Haven't seen to much on the sonic nausea one. Some cruise ships and others are, however, already outfitted with what amount to "sonic blasters". They utilize high-decibel directed noise to chase off or deter potential pirate attacks. Apparently they're effective, but expensive.

Sonic blasters? All I can think is: give those badboys some more power, and we can go all Muad'Dib on those pirates' asses.

Hey Desp here's a question: There's like 90 Tea Party Republicans in Congress. How many Occupy Wall Street Democrats are there in Congress?

[Despanan]

Zero - and that's intentional.

Occupy isn't the Democrat equivalent of the Tea Party, we're probably as hostile to the democrats as we are to the Republicans.

This isn't due to some failing within Occupy btw, we were asked, essentially to become the Democrat Tea Party, and we were offered support and millions of dollars to do so. We told them to get lost, because the Democrats are just as much in bed with the huge financial interests as the Republicans and are just as eager to engage in imperialist policies overseas, and police-state style tactics domestically.

Occupy is more about Direct Action and organizing on a local level to effect political change - it's a largely Anarchist movement. We've had three candidates run as democrats (Including George Martinez, who is on my Radio show) but they all lost to democrat incumbents in the primaries - which is fine, because the goal of those campaigns was less to win, and more to draw attention to the fact that it's virtually impossible to win an election in America without selling yourself to big business.

There are a few Occupy activists who have ties to the democratic party (most notably Aaron Black, who did "Occupy the NRA" and a few anti-Romney actions) in fact we received a very cold welcome at the DNC, the Republicans in Tampa were actually nicer to us (though again, that's probably because the Mayor of Tampa is a Lesbian Soccer-mom and enjoyed throwing Anarchists at the Westboro baptist church)

BTW guys - big development, you may have heard about the unprovoked attack by Bikers on a motorist and his family in NYC.

Turns out one of those bikers was an undercover NYPD officer, and it ALSO turns out he is the first officially outed NYPD infiltrator at occupy:

We'll be talking about this on Insurrection this Saturday, for now all I'll say is not only did this guy fail at NOT attacking a helpless family, he also seems to be a total douchebag.

Really likes taking Selfies and posting quasi-pornographic images of himself.

He's the thin blue line protecting all of you from dangerous anarchists like me.

[Phantomgrift]

So then, there's the aspect of it all.
He's a douchebag.

Unfortunately, he's a douchebag that got a job as a police officer, and he's now subsequently being properly punished for criminal acts he committed while being a douchebag.
