Transcript of the video : 


YouTube is a platform owned by Google and strong armed often by its advertisers and the US government.


Those who stand to lose every time Youtube has to cave in are its creators and viewers. No more. From December 10th to December 13th we’re staging a walkout from the site.


No watch views, no uploads, no engagement. Just stay out of YouTube.


Let us not give them anything for three days. YouTube is nothing without creators and viewers, whether they are commercially viable or not. Enough, is enough.


For those who are looking for my videos outside of YouTube , I would suggest the following.

YouTube COPPA response 2 : They want to destroy the young at heart & Philosophy and Wisdom of The Erica Crooks Show


In my previous video I have talked about how YouTube and COPPA harms Content Creators and Freedom of Speech 

https://peertube.video/videos/watch/60268748-bdbb-4774-a0f9-ad70880b9940

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBc7b6wnQA8&t=266s


In this second video , I want to express how YouTube / COPPA Are Against adults with an Inner "younger" soul at heart , loving the arts and pop culture and pretty much they are against my field of work as a worker which is adult puppetry and cartoon animation , adults loving pop culture and so forth.


If things start going down , we are seeing a revolution coming and my question to the viewer is this. Fight or Flight ? Flight will not make your life safer , you will be allowing the bully to make you a slave. Freedom Fighters UNITE !


I would recommend An Anarchist FAQ for more information .


The only difference between kids and adults is the biological AND NOTHING MORE ! It's time we got rid of this AGEIST DISCRIMINATION ONCE AND FOR ALL !


Revolution or Brainwashed Slave , your choice !

Either people can fight for their rights and what they love in life or be submissive to slavery. Fight or Slavery , the choice is yours . YouTube's backstabbing it's users is betrayal ! It's us against the cruel ruling class ! Power to the people not the people in power. REVOLUTION !

Copyright and Capitalism Destroys Fandom


In this blog , I’d like to reach out to my like minded people who also shares love and interest in pop culture if you’re a lifetime fan and perhaps like me , it inspired you into art more so.


Perhaps you were like me , a fan most of your life. In childhood , how innocent it truly is when a kid draws their favorites . Well it seems like from the eye of capitalists to be one of the biggest crimes in the world.


If you grew up in the 1990s like I have , you probably remember something called the VHS tape. And when you rewind the tape ( sometimes with a fast VHS rewinder which is something I had in my childhood ) , you put the VHS into the VCR and you start to fast forward what most of us would call the “ stupid boring warning that NOBODY BOTHERS TO READ ! “ . Now a capitalist probably wants the masses to read it and it goes to show how distant they truly are from advantage people who are not rich , greedy and know what it’s like to live an advantage normal life. Of course I’m referring to the FBI Warning . The one where it mentions a Warning that federal law provides server punishments for the unauthorized distribution or exhibition of copyright and how it’s investigated by the FBI and would constitute a felony with a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison or a $ 250,000 fine . Well that was in 1982 . It’s probably worse today. Probably a lifetime in prison , someone to lose their citizenship , or probably the electric chair. If you find all of this ridiculous , then why aren’t you an Anarchist ?

http://anarchism.pageabode.com/afaq/index.html


“ To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” _ Voltaire


So yeah , stupid victimless crimes right ? A child’s drawing , watching a movie at home with loved ones or friends or both even though each person doesn’t own a copy themselves , probably even mentioning the name of a copyright work in a conversation without paying royalties and legal license permission to the copyright owners , etc 

Is it fair to say that this is modern day slavery ?


Don’t you realize those who make fan art and upload it to the internet and those who upload videos of their favorites to social media ( meaning to socialize about media ) will make you one of the biggest criminals in the whole entire world and society should shame you for being such a sinner ? If you think this is all stupid , ignorant , and a cult and a religion , well all I can say to you is welcome to the club of the minority of people who are awaken to the truth that this world is controlled by power hungry , blood thirsty , heartless and soulless psychopaths .

Again why aren’t you an Anarchist ?

http://anarchism.pageabode.com/afaq/index.html


It’s so easy to enjoy our pop culture favorites online , especially YouTube videos. But in the eye of capitalists , we are automatically criminals . But it’s interesting because guess who else does this , THE VERY CREATORS WHO MADE THIS STUFF IN THE FIRST PLACE ! So does it make it legal ? What if I were to tell you that law and order , the constitution , civil liberties , troops fighting for our freedom and keep us safe , money is the answer to prosperity and to get us out of poverty , politicians , capitalists , presidents , religious leaders , celebrities , are superior to you in every single way , etc IS IN FACT ALL LIES known as “ Hierarchical Power over You ! “ 


Wait , what am I trying to say ? Am I seriously suggesting that people should COMMIT CRIME AND VIOLATE THE LAW ? Well I’m not ( in legal terms ) telling to violate the law. ( Lawyers leave , wipe the sweat from my forehead in sweet relief after being intimidated by violent bullies known as “ Authority “ aka Hierarchical Power over me , etc . ) What I am saying is “ question it “ , and it’s not illegal … yet , but that’s the very point I’m making. We could lose everything and it doesn’t matter who’s a criminal or a sinner or whatever. We could all be slaves in a George Orwell kind of dystopia like 1984 in ANY GIVEN SECOND ! 


Is this me manipulating you with scare tactics ? No , I’m telling you the truth. And if you want the truth , you need to listen to your heart and intuition . Now I know what it’s like to feel scared , we all do , and that’s how hierarchy has power over us. Not only do they feed us lies that hierarchy is justified but also they intimidate us with fear.


How interesting is it that we have a mass movement of people who violate copyright all the time with the simple belief of “ Just as long as I don’t earn money off of it , it’s fine. “ Because that belief alone is A LOT MORE FAIR THAN THE TRUTH ! The truth not what feels right in our heart and intuition but the word truth being thrown at us and we are told to accept and agree or have violence against us aka hierarchical power over us. And that’s the other reason why people obey to things no matter how ignorant and stupid , they use VIOLENCE , this is hierarchy , this is bullying , and THIS IS LEGAL ? Unfortunately yes. 

But can’t you ask authority for permission to protest and vote democrat / liberal in order for it to …. Well again if the constitution is such a genius doctrine , how come people need to update it all the time instead of saying “ F*** this hierarchical s*** , it’s not even a genius philosophy “ , well that’s simple … WE ARE SCARED OF LOSING OUR LIVES !

And you know what ? Authority knows it and our fear makes them smile sadistically.

That’s right , they are psychopaths - sociopaths - narcissists - dark triad , antisocial , etc


It’s so easy to be comfortable . Now of course I’m all for personal and self growth , spirituality and law of attraction. But when it comes to spirituality , it NEEDS to feel like THE TRUTH ! It needs to feel supported with unconditional love and light and another word which MANY spiritual teachings FAIL to mention which is LIBERATION !


Legally I’m not suggesting anything except to THINK about all of this. It’s interesting really because before anything can become an action , people need to think about it. Until authority makes it legal to plant computer chips into our brains , they can moderate our very activities online so if they are going to be doing that then all I can hope for is coming from the lightworker pacifist I am …. Someday something is going to get to them emotionally where they are going to feel for the first time in most of their life , they will feel GUILT and SHAME and REMORSE and BREAK DOWN CRYING and NOW REALIZING ALL THE EVIL AND HORROR AND BAD THINGS THEY HAVE DONE TO INNOCENT PEOPLE BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS NEVER GAVE THEM THE LOVE THE DESERVE !


That’s right , that’s all it comes down too. Soul vs Ego.

The Soul is going to appreciate culture and art and say that it belongs to the people , Ego is a control freak.


So if your a fan and you want to express YOUR LOVE of this art and culture and it reaches to some part of your soul if it’s music that makes you dance , if humor that makes you laugh , perhaps a Hollywood crush that reminds you of your future soulmate ( I know , I meet my Twin Flame ) and perhaps this art will influence you into becoming THE NEXT GENERATION OF ARTISTS just like EVERYONE ELSE because GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE and INSPIRE EACH OTHER . 


And copyright owners are very stupid because what is the whole point of controlling us if WE are the WORD OF MOUTH , WE ARE THE ONES THAT KEEP ART ALIVE ! 


Comic Conventions COULD be a beautifully wonderful time , a FESTIVAL for artists and fans alike to enjoy their favorite art and discover new ones. THAT’S WHAT COMIC CON SHOULD BE but guess what it actually is ? It’s crowded like an airport , barely anyone goes to fan panels , and we see all the artists we know and love SUFFERING like Circus Animals , They aren’t really there to see their fans but they try to enjoy their time sitting on their butt for hours at a table , THEY SERIOUSLY NEED MONEY JUST LIKE YOU ! No wonder the idea of getting a free autograph in the mail is a thing of the past for the most part. If this brings a tear to your eye , I hope so , again you are awaken to the truth.


Did you know that your favorite artists are ALSO working class ? Did you know those who are on welfare / poor and even homeless are WORKING CLASS ? There’s only two classes , the working class and the psychopaths that have power over us known as The RULING CLASS .


The ruling class owns the copyrights , they shut down social media accounts all the time , they send lawsuits , they put people into debt for copyright infringement , they control the authority to make this innocent thing A CRIME , they pay and brainwash celebrities into brainwashing you into caving into the shame of committing “ piracy “ , etc .


So if Fandom is a crime , then what the hell do they expect us to do anyway ? They want us to treat it like FOOD ! They want us to consume , without expression and to buy without expression , like robots and zombies ( ok the stereotypical ones and not so much good one that are . ) . 


We are told that this fictional stuff is NOT REAL but to the audience and artists alike , they are because they mirror this life. The ruling class doesn’t care about us at all . Anarchists know that the ruling class are not only destroying everything on Earth but even themselves and they don’t care , you want to know why ? The ruling class is SICK , they are ILL , and their dystopian is going to kill even themselves because there will be nothing left on Earth but themselves , nothing to dominate and rule over but themselves. There’s no good that can come from hierarchy. Perhaps that itself can explain why hierarchy is the root of all evil.


Soul is about love , intuition , and liberation. Being entertained feels liberating.

That’s something that art , pop culture , entertainment , etc does.


No wonder evil people want to control it and brainwash good people into thinking they are bad.

Spitting Image / Les Guignols De L’info : American Version , Will They Work ?


I’ve been a huge fan of Spitting Image and Les Guignols De L’info for a long time now.

It all started with catching glimpses of Contra Informação on television . I would have the RTP channel on cable during the 2000s . I was 13 when September 11th happened and at the time there was webcartoons satirizing George W Bush and Osama Bin Laden . One video that went viral around that time was a Budweiser commercial ( WAZZ-UP ! ) parody featuring realistic caricature puppets of Obama Bin Laden , Saddam Hussein , Muammar al-Gaddafi calling each other over the phone parodying the commercial . Suddenly it shows that 2 Government Men ( who look like Sylvester Stallone ) are tapping into the phone call. George W Bush ruins it by going on a microphone shouting ( WAZZ-UP ) with causes the terrorists to hang up the phone.

This was my introduction to Les Guignols De L’info. I was so amazed with the puppets and … here’s a thing about me , when I see and ear something that I like , I become obsessed . It’s a good thing that I don’t drink. lol

I was talking to a puppeteer friend of mine about these shows and he told me they were a rip off of Spitting Image. At that time I started high school shortly after. The first things I’ve seen of Spitting Image was a very pixelated video clip of The Who ( My Generation ) parody from 1986 ,  a clip of an interview with Ian Hislop talking about The Spitting Image 1987 Election Special , The very first episode , An episode from 1985 which ended with a parody album commercial about the RS232 Interface Lead . This was before YouTube , so let’s just say that don’t know anything about “ illegal downloading “ back then. ;) Then on a couple trips to New York , I went to the The Paley Center For Media ( The Museum of Television and Radio ) and watched as much Spitting Image as I could find. The first time was this compilation of the best of Spitting Image’s first 3 series. The on my next trip , I watched a couple episodes from 1989 and the 1990 episode where Margret Thatcher was in a coffin the whole entire episode ( symbolized her resignation ) .

And I have been a huge fan since. :)


In recent times , there has been news about the possibilities of not only a Spitting Image revival in America but also a Les Guignols revival in America. Now I’m from America but there’s a reason why I like British and French comedy. I like my comedy creative and satirical. I’ve been a fan of Jim Henson’s Muppets my whole entire life and got into Monty Python’s Flying Circus in childhood. Perhaps Spitting Image and Les Guignols as well as Dinosaurs introduced me into leftist politics. When I got into Anarchism in the summer of 2017 , the funny thing is I kind of understood Spitting Image and Les Guignols De L’info more. :) Now I don’t speak a word of French , but I still enjoy watching Les Guignols . I just watch the body language for the most part and if there’s a translator on me , I would try to figure out what those puppets are saying. And when I do , it amazes me what they were able to get away with. Both Spitting Image and Les Guignols De L’info got away with more than even South Park.


So with the question remaining , Would American versions of Spitting Image / Les Guignols De L’info work ? My first question is “ WHY an AMERICAN VERSION ? “ I loved the shows the way they were. Also I find British swear words and slang funny ( Yep that shows that I’m from America lol ) . British Comedy makes me want to understand the differences of their culture compared to America. How they call Soccer “ Football “ , How they call TV / Television “ The Telly “ , How they call French Fries “ Chips “ and how they call Potato Chips “ Crisps “ for example. Or how we call a series of episodes per year of a television show a Season where in Britain they call it a series but we call the show as a whole a “ series “ . lol It’s interesting and fun to learn. Saying an American version of Spitting Image and or Les Guignols De L’info is kind of like saying an American Monty Python’s Flying Circus. To me , that sounds like a total dystopia , just like any reboot / remake that’s not from the original people , it’s going to suck and it’s going to disappoint fans. But of course in capitalism , no one cares about the cult following fandom that actually cares about the show. They want to reach the masses.


Americans for the most part never heard of Spitting Image and Les Guignols De L’info. The only thing about Spitting Image that most Americans know about is the Genesis Land of Confusion music video from 1986 , and even then most people think all the puppets were created for that one music video. They have absolutely no idea they had a television show of their own. However those who were around the 1980s might have remembered the 3 NBC Specials. 

It’s kind of like answering the same question on why the 1990s Muppet Movies were so good and better than The Muppets ( 2011 ) and Muppets Most Wanted , all four movies were made after Jim Henson’s death and all four had The Walt Disney Company involved. The answer to that is the same with why the NBC Spitting Image specials were great , they were made by the original crew .


I think Sid and Marty Krofft were hired to create DC Follies . Sid Krofft said that with DC Follies he was delivering what the American audiences wanted to see but not vicious like Spitting Image.

And that’s my point . If an American Spitting Image and or Les Guignols was possible then it would end up like a cross between DC Follies and Saturday Night Live.

Americans are very cautious with their satire for the most part. Kind of liberal. Unless you count South Park which is currently Right Wing Libertarian ( The Libertarian Party ) and kind of centrist and same with most American satire like Bill Maher and SuperNews! ( which was inspired by 2DTV I think ) .


Besides , there’s already an American Spitting Image show out in time of Trump which is Stephen Cobert’s Our Cartoon President on Showtime. And it just makes SuperNews! Look good and it’s not as great as Lil Bush which was on Comedy Central years ago when I was in high school .


I heard about the Les Guignols American revival which someone from The Daily Show with John Stewart being involved as well as Robert Smigel ( Saturday TV Funhouse from SNL which I’m a fan of ) . It’s almost like no one seen the PBS documentary “ Anti-Americans : A Love / Hate Relationship “ . It’s like the magazine version of Les Guignols De L’info was Charlie Hebdo and Spitting Image was like a cross between Mad Magazine and Private Eye Magazine as well as Week Ending / Dead Ringers . 

In Europe they were fearless when it comes to satire. Les Guignols De L’info lasted 18 years longer than Spitting Image , had a bigger budget and they went beyond any satire show I’ve ever seen.

And when Charlie Hebdo got attacked in 2015 , Les Guignols reported it with the same fearless satire as Charlie Hebdo. I often wonder if that was the reason why they were about to get canceled.


The big story was that Vincent Bolloré bought Canal+ and was going to cancel Les Guignols De L’info as a favor from his friend Nicolas Sarkozy due to his worry that Les Guignols would ruin his chances of being re-elected in 2017.


The writers from the 2000s were fired , the producer / show runner shortly after , Les Guignols was half it’s length and the budget kept dropping until they were canceled in 2018.

What was interesting was there was 3 last episodes mocking the situation.

One was PPD in the familiar Les Guignols De L’info setting going to a crew party where he hears the show was getting canceled and he packs up .

The other one was a goodbye song which is quite similar to the ending of Spitting Image in 1996 except it was more low key.

The final episode featured PPD and Jacques Chirac leaving the Canal + studio where Bob Sylvester of The World Company dismisses them. The last episode ends with PPD looking back and leaving slowing in depression , sadness and that feeling of loss that the satirists lost and the evil capitalists have won.


There’s clearly a difference between American humor , satire and culture vs Europe humor , satire and culture . And if one or the other shows were revived , it won’t matter if they are going to go after Trump , the show would be commodified , dumb down and just like all the great classic cartoon characters , they would become shadows of their former selves .


So when Roger Law mentioned in an interview that the American revival was going to be written by Americans , I knew that was a sign that it wasn’t going to be great. Both shows didn’t mind not being patriotic and nationalistic to America but in America it’s a totally different story. If you are not patriotic in America , people will hate you and want you out of the country.


The new Spitting Image puppets look so good , it looks more like the heyday Spitting Image from 1984 - 1986 and not so much the Pablo Bach caricatures from the mid 1980s until the end of the run as well as 2DTV and Contra Informação ( which had some obscure Spitting Image puppets on there . ) 


But when you don’t have great satirists like Ian Hislop on board , and you have American writers instead ( which is not likely they are going to be leftist or even at least as progressive as the ones who written great satire on the show Dinosaurs ) , It’s not like they heyday of Mad Magazine is what I’m getting at. 


Still I’ll be excited to see Spitting Image / Les Guignols De L’info either way. Besides there should be a better release for them on DVD and digital anyways.

Static Cling is coming out tomorrow and I found out that Rachel Bighead came out as Trans . As a Transgender Woman and a cartoon animator myself as well as a huge fan of Rocko's Modern Life , this is like a happy surprise to see one of my heroes become a trans ally like this. I can't think of anyone who did this so far. :) My favorite episodes ironically are I Have No Son and Wacky Deli , and I can relate to having a childhood relating to the authoritarian Bigheads and wanting to make a cartoon to humiliate them through satire. Perhaps it's a big close to home but I heard that Joe Murray worked with GLAAD so it sounds like it's going to be complimentary. So to the crew I say thank you for being Trans allies . :) _ Erica

As I was researching the question if evil can be cured. With all my research of personality disorders , all the sorts of therapies …

Behavior therapy , rehabilitation , Clinical Psychology. Psychotherapy , Neurology…

And I’d like to refer back to a previous blog article 

https://officialericcrooks.blogspot.com/2019/07/spiritual-anarchism-anarchism-vs-new.html


Perhaps I’m just getting back into spirituality because what is science anyway ?


According to Google definition results


Science Is “ the intellectual ( says who ? ) and practical

( of or concerned with the actual doing or use of something rather than with theory and ideas. (of an idea, plan, or method) likely to succeed or be effective in real circumstances; feasible. )

 activity encompassing the systematic ( sounds hierarchical ) study of the structure ( oh yeah ) and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.


Fine , what is REAL ?


Real

( actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact; not imagined or supposed. 

(of a substance or thing) not imitation or artificial; genuine. )


Before I go on with my rant to say F**K Science and realism , let me tell you where I’m coming from.


I have a Twin Flame , we have telepathy , maybe that can be proven by science …. MAYBE NOT ! Is , is.

I follow my intuition , can intuition be proven by science , probably NOT !

I follow my heart , what is a heart ? MEAT ! An Organ ! What about love…


What about Love ? WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF LOVE ? ( Before I say you can take your “ pseudo “ remarks AND SHOVE IT ! )


Love : an intense feeling of deep affection. , a great interest and pleasure in something. feel a deep romantic or sexual attachment to (someone).


Feeling

an emotional state or reaction.

a belief, especially a vague or irrational one. ( interesting JUDGEMENT )


Emotion

a natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others.


SCREW Neurology !


What did we learn from the story “ Frankenstien “ ? You can put a body together , but love is a mystery and if you deny it , it turns to the ego .. evil .. “


So that in a sense , love is the answer . AND SCIENCE CAN NOT PROVE EVERYTHING !


If you rely everything on science , you reject the true mysteries of life.

As mentioned in The Secret , there can be someone DYING in the hospital bed , their body is so damaged , doctors can say that it’s impossible. This person is going to die and there’s nothing we can do about it. What if these doctors don’t believe in miracles , coincidences , the strange positive ironies of life….

Suddenly the will of this person will breath and with this spirit , the body CURES ITSELF !


Spirit 1 , Science 0 ! 


Why are there things that can not be explained by science ? You ask them , the narcissists who think they are the smartest and most intelligent people in the world , they will just shrug and say “ because it is not real , can’t be proven by science. “


This person’s name is Quinton ( INTJ ) . He’s made three known websites Slayerment / TruthControl and CrowdFreedom . He’s an Anarchy-Capitalist ( Not real Anarchist ) / Right Wing Libertarian . Most for the stuff that he has said has made people very angry and isn’t very true at all.


In one video he talks about the smartest MBTI type . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86s1wXYQAnw

In the beginning he says it’s the INTJ jokingly because that is his type. He says the top ones are INTP / INTJ then INFP ( mine ) and INFJ .


He does believe that Thinker types are smarter than Feelers because Animals feel but don’t listen to reason ( his opinion ) , HOWEVER he does admit perhaps he might be wrong. His website TruthControl mentions spirituality and he has also mentioned his interests in The Law of Attraction and Abraham Hicks .


In another video ( which is how I discovered him a few years ago and I think is his best article / blog video ) iNtuitives vs Sensors ( iNtuitive Bias which is controversial in the MBTI Online Communities ) he has mentioned that iNtuitives are SMARTER than Sensors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zba9jnEOQqw&t=3s

 As an INFP I do believe that is true. As I read the Anarchist FAQ on how this hierarchical society shapes people and perhaps is responsible for the Extraverted Sensor catered Society GLOBALLY , it’s interesting to think about because it does sound true.


Quinton in the video talks about intelligence , the intelligence he refers to in this video is which types are most “ Influential “ . 

I would have to say the Feelers are most influential but then again how do you measure MBTI ?


Albert Einstein was known for his scientific theories and Martin Luther King Jr was known for his peace activism to end racism . However very little people know that both were LEFTISTS !


I believe those who side with hierarchy tend to be ST / TJ types while NP / F types are more chill.


In conclusion ,


If you’ve seen my work , you know I live in the land of imagination ( very typically INFP right ? ) . I do have a Twin Flame ( I think she’s ESFP , might be subject to change at Union ) , and I write blogs such as this.


I think 5D Earth perhaps will get rid of any last bit of hierarchies from non-friendly animals to any sort of scientific laws.


They say spiritually that the only thing that is real is the power of love.


And if emotions can be measured on an organ called a brain , you may call me stupid but to me I think that’s dumb. It kind of reminds me of the smart ass remark I wrote on my final Astrology ( science Astrology not REAL spiritual Zodiac Astrology which my High School teacher thought was crap ) test which was “ How do we know a solid answer about stuff in space if people haven’t been there themselves. “ Surprisingly I got a good grade … I think my teacher written a note how I refuse to answer any of the questions correctly however he admired my ability to think outside the box. This guy was funny , perhaps an ENTP , very wacky , the students loved him , but he committed suicide years after I graduated. Several short tribute websites were made in his memory.


So that’s my point , someone could be a master of science , AND STILL FEEL DEPRESSED AND COMMIT SUICIDE ! Perhaps a lack of love for oneself I suppose.


Is science completely useless ? I don’t think so. Anarcho-Transhumanism or some sort of Anarcho-Communist Science can solve all the worlds problems…


However , science is only useful for Earth Stuff. Spirit and Soul is NOT Earth Stuff. Perhaps there is life before birth and after death. Somethings can NOT be proven by science doesn’t mean it’s not real.

Love is the most powerful energy in the universe , and even that energy is so powerfully beautiful that it’s hard to put into words.


Science isn’t completely useless …. However when 3D Earth upgrades to 5D Earth …. Yes , then science would be completely uselsss.

Can Satire help bring peace ? ( I think it’s possible. )


iu_43043_4908385.jpg


Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/notes/erica-crooks/can-satire-help-bring-peace-i-think-its-possible-/2130757210358319/


Blogger : https://officialericcrooks.blogspot.com/2019/07/can-satire-help-bring-peace-i-thinks.html


Tumblr : https://officialericcrooks.tumblr.com/post/186689073016/can-satire-help-bring-peace-i-think-its


I identify with many empaths including ( and probably not limited to ) crystal child adult , indigo , starseed , old soul , lightworker , twin flame , INFP personality type , Transgender Lesbian Woman , Androgynous Femme , Pisces , etc


But I also identify as a Heyoka . A Heyoka is a mirror empath which term is most familiar with the native american spirituality and culture. Yes on my mother side I’m part French Canadian Native American. So wonder I love Dreamcatchers so much. :)

Anyway , Heyoka’s spirits are appreciated because they think outside the box , they come from a culture where criticism even if it’s harsh is appreciated with gratitude to help people’s personal and spiritual growth. Heyoka’s are known as the most powerful empath ever and perhaps are known as the satirists and even the “ Anarchists “ of spirituality.

The sacred clown as well.

Pretty sweet eh ?


Well you know how hierarchical society is. It’s a world that needs love but people live in hate and fear. The liberals are very sensitive to intellectualism and trigger warnings aren’t going to help and conservatives live in hate and fear and feel the most comfort in not only fascism but being capitalists ( illuminati ) ruling this world using hate and fear … consciously or unconsciously …. Yeah they need to go to a psychiatric hospital !


So if love is what people need , why won’t they accept it ? Perhaps realism is such an ego shell to protect people from hurt.


If your a lightworker and your doing the best you can to treat them with equality and peace and they just fire off negative stuff at you….  

You need a good laugh.


Satire can help Anarchism build the new world in the shell of the old , Satire is deep spirituality because I know as a Twin Flame in Ascension working towards Union IT CAN HURT BIG TIME but we learn to get back on the ball of spiritual alignment and become better people going through it … yeah not in The Secret right ? Someone can mention Heyoka on their website but when they are faced with one… They don’t recognize one of their own. https://officialericcrooks.blogspot.com/2019/07/spiritual-anarchism-anarchism-vs-new.html


But perhaps it’s only funny to those who are awaken to the truth.


It’s like America has Mad Magazine and South Park .

The UK Had Spitting Image , Alternative Comedians ( Rik Mayall and The Young Ones / Hale & Pace / Monty Python’s Flying Circus ) and of course Ian Hislop ( Spitting Image / Have I Got News For You / Private Eye Magazine )

France has Charlie Hedbo and Les Guignols De L’info


Even my satirical works , it can either make someone laugh with me or make someone vomit.

Kind of like that time I had that film screening in Providence RI where someone walked out without asking for a refund.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEEixkzR4bg

This very complication of the best of my work which was technically edited to a PG / PG-13 level still SHOCKED people. This one person was like “ Oooohh That Erica Crooks , how disgusting ! For a Transgender Woman … I expected better from her ! “

The projectionist didn’t bother saying what he thought. Perhaps this guy who wouldn’t bother giving it a compliment pretty much didn’t like it. Ironically it was the same projectionist from my first screening in 2015. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RhjrAvcT8I&list=PLJLbzpbdP5rkwzxjzTVhXiGZyfbOfDh25


When one is a satirist , the big aspect is you want to encourage people to think.


American culture to me is so superficial and philistine. Art museums reactions are all about “ Oooh I like this painting because it’s beautiful . Oooh I don’t like this painting ( and doesn’t bother explaining why )“ 


I feel in an Anarchist Society , things like this would be appreciated. 

Perhaps perceptions of Spirituality if any who reject the idea might find something fascinating in the phenomenon wonder since their lives would be better under Anarchism , perhaps people might me open minded to it more like how Native Americans are about they Heyoka Empath.

Alternative Anarchist


iu_42706_4908385.jpg


Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/notes/erica-crooks/alternative-anarchist/2127697123997661/


Blogger : https://officialericcrooks.blogspot.com/2019/07/alternative-anarchist.html


Today I’d like to talk about where I stand as an Anarchist. I’m starting to think that perhaps there will be more Anarchists that would hate me than back me up. I’m a Cultural Anarchist / Philosophical Anarchist / Spiritual Anarchist / and a Pacifist Anarchist. As well as a Libertarian Socialist Queer and Feminist Anarcho-Communist ( maybe a little bit of Green Anarchy if consumerism can be be done without harming animals , same with Anarcho-Transhumanism if it help people not age and mage vegan food and regular food merge to the point where no one can tell the difference ) .


Some may have noticed a little bit of empathy for ANTIFA , well as a Transgender Woman when there’s allies who are willing to use self defense against transphobic bigots who want to hurt and kill trans people ( as well as other LGBTQ+ , races , etc ) then I am thankful there’s something close to a superhero to people like me. I don’t think ANTIFA is a terrorist group , like a superhero they fight for the force of good and well…. If you were in a dangerous situation would you use self defense to protect your loved one if they are in a situation where someone might hurt them ? I think it’s obvious . It’ll be foolish to call the police , have them show up 10 or more minutes later as you watch your loved one die before your very eyes and the cop only caring about the fact that your such a good civil obedient citizen for doing absolutely NOTHING but allow authority to NOT do their job.


I’m not a fan of black blog tactics of smashing windows or setting cars on fire , none of that insurrectionary anarchism , 


Perhaps people are already thinking of me as a lazy liberal. Someone who isn’t committed. I am spiritually. And that’s perhaps how I look at Anarchism …. spiritual. I think it’s beautiful that those who struggle in the working class pit that hierarchy forces us in and sees us as inferior just putting differences aside and work on making humanity a better place. Friends always sticking up for each other, helping out each other like one big family with that very common goal.


Besides when we are living in an Anarchist Society , why would anyone nag about doing something the wrong way. For me , I would rather keep the spirit of anarchy in the hearts of humanity instead of shedding blood.


I would rather mock the enemy out of the liberation of humanity against hierarchical dogma which a little hope that perhaps the enemy would wake up and take a good hard took at themselves in the mirror and realize they do hurt the innocent and they need to stop.


I believe there’s links between right wing politics , hierarchy , power hungry , and personality disorders such as narcissism , sadism , sociopaths / psychopaths , anti-social personality disorder , etc. It’s just in the matter of putting the puzzle pieces together.


Even though I disagree on tactics , especially where I feel that such tactics aren’t effective , I think the right thing to do is similar to the Peace Movements of the 1960s which is everyone is supporting the cause in their own way.


Some might see the irony of my position as an Anarchist as nothing more but the fear of breaking the law. Obviously who wants to loose the only freedom they got ? On the other hand I believe in the protect against victimless crimes such as copyright infringement and the right for people to support right wing politics to be accepted as normal because it’s just romanticizing mental illness I think.


In terms of revolution , I believe in the similar idea that other light workers think of in terms of a 5D Earth which is the co-operation of the masses to unify in peace . Education is key I think. Culture is key I think. And the knowledge that “ Love Is The Answer “ . 


If people live in either Love or Fear , which one would you choose. I say having a satirical sense of humor is a survival tool. 


I remember years ago when having a friend of mine who was homeless , I allowed him to sleep on my couch for a few weeks. We both went to this local art ( painting ) festival downtown , and the whole time I am mocking it all because to me it was so boring. Someone seen a painting of a bowl of fruit or sunset at the beach or a pretty flower and said “ So beautiful , so breath-taking “ . My friend got annoyed with me when I kept repeating that in a mocking way. “ Quit being such a douchebag ! “ My friend said in a jokingly yet slightly annoyed way. I later explained to him that I didn’t do it because I felt like bullying. As a satirist , as an anarchist , I was pissed off by the superficialness of culture . If people want to paint that stuff and buy it then fine. If people want to sing the top 20 hits of this generation then fine. Perhaps my anger was culturally due to capitalism. Here’s two young adults looking for something exciting , interesting , fun and all I can see is a bunch of middle aged women buying paintings and the painters who need money to live on just like everyone else.


I had a teacher ( kind of liberal ) who taught this anti-racism class in high school. He said that he was the worst person to go to the movies with. I myself am another person who’s probably the worst person to go to the movies with. Especially when friends get really annoyed with me wanting to stay to watch and read the credits all the time. lol

Perhaps my imagination is what makes me such a fun person to be around right ? It’s hard for be to get out of my apartment without feeling disgusted by the superficialness of life and the capitalist culture of everything. However if I had friends around me , like minded people around me , I’d probably won’t be as grumpy. I’d probably just enjoy my satirical sense of humor and intellectual conversations.


NonCompete ( an Anarchist YouTube Channel ) addressed the question in the video “ Stop relying on liberals -- Choose your own DESTINY! “ ~ Is This a Movement or are we just “ A Social Club “ 


I can only address my opinions as an Anarchist , I just don’t think direct action should be done violently or anything violently . Fight or Flight , I would mostly pick flight. Self Defense to save the life of myself and or a loved one … would be the only exception which is truly human nature I think. If someone pointed a gun to your head , duck and kick them below the belt. I’m not suggesting anything , I’m just using it as a metaphor . 


Perhaps it’s my love of the 1960s movements , John Lennon and the shenanigans of The Yippies but as an Anarchist I would side with that. I would rather play pranks of confusion than causing harm to anyone. I would rather use my mind , heart , intuition than my fists or any sort of weapon.


I would rather use psychology , satirical literature , and even the spiritual powers of Law of Attraction to manifest peace.


But it all comes down to this. If what I do is completely and utterly useless then at least I tried. John Lennon , Martin Luther King Jr and Jesus Christ were all murdered by authority for doing what they could do peacefully as anarchists / peace activist leftists . Martin and Jesus have their Government holidays , Jesus is a hero to right wingers which is ironic because it was authority that murdered him and blamed jewish people and altered what he said in the bible. John Lennon was murdered by a Christian Right murderer or a CIA agent…. Was Yoko Ono secretly a part of it , well perhaps that’s a conspiracy theory for another day.


“ You either live in the bondage of fear or you go out that door with your head held high and be yourself even if people are booing you “ is advice a very good friend of mine and fellow Trans Woman told me years ago before she committed suicide .


To me Anarchism isn’t about tactics , it’s about the liberating human spirit. Who knows if Jesus fought off authority or if he was passive . 


Perhaps as an INFP Personality Type , my anger can only go so far. 


I’d rather use my freedoms , my heart , body , soul , and intuition instead of violence and crime.


But when everything becomes illegal and everything turns into a George Orwell 1984 kind of dystopia , then call me a criminal.


I’m just thankful of being alive at this current time.

Did The Letter People literally RIP OFF a Sesame Street song and album ?


For those who never heard of a 1970s children’s show called “ The Letter People “ , perhaps it’s obvious that this was not only a rip off but an early competitor of Sesame Street.

You can do your own research on it but observing the quality of the videos from the episode , the big question to ask is “ What quality ? “ It looks like someone wanted to cash in on Sesame Street really bad and think they would drive Sesame Street into cancelation… at the time.

There is a wikipedia article that mentions how it was inspired by teachers who struggled to teach kids how to read. What’s obvious is the idea that it was turned into a television show.

What’s strange is Sesame Street was sort of doing that so , what’s the motivations again ? Cash Cow on the Sesame Street craze ? Direct to Home Video releases wasn’t available yet. 

However today it’s more likely than it was back then that other children’s media would compete to the point where Sesame Street gets canceled. It’s obvious with Sesame Street’s decline between seasons 24 / 25 - 30 onward which today they not only premiere new episodes on HBO but also parodying the “ BABY SHARK “ video ? 


Anyway… it’ll be interesting to go threw all the “ SO Bad it’s… “ campiness which is “ Letter People “


However there was one comparison that inspired me to do an article , just one bit comparison.



Mr M WAS THEIR VERY FIRST EPISODE of The Letter People in 1972 which also a record was released in 1972 which was 26 songs of The Letter People From TV.

The Album shows two blue monster like puppets on the cover.


https://img.discogs.com/Jjy2YF6yUfj0g09YLDaWFOMZgvU=/fit-in/600x597/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-2944911-1347124923-2545.jpeg.jpg


Does this sound familiar ?


Sesame Street released an album called “ The Muppet Alphabet Album “ In 1971.

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/2/23/MuppAlphabetLPOrig.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190214182524


Which featured a song by Herry Monster and Cookie Monster called “ M-M-M Monster Meal “ .



Interesting.
