notes from new palestine: niggers can never go home again. -- Hey Jim -- Please Call Home!
We restate our commitment to the peace process. But we will not submit to a process of humiliation." --patrick o'neil "...we have the responsibility to make no deal with the oppressor" --harry belafonte do you overstand where we are coming from? the members of imc back peddling and passing the buck, over the seriousness of lessez faire racism and personal harassment of posters, to imc and local authors have used the forum to launch personal attacks, harass and defame character. they have basically entered it not to produce independent media or "challenge the centres of power" -- b.u.t. to infiltrate and control it like 90% of the media in kkkanada (owned and operated by the kkkanadian government or the asper family). stephen karr/pepper (whose refrain is to remind us that his ignorance, obsession, unilateral thinking and sociopathic manipulative behaviour can be excused because of the amerikkkan racial and national socialist party percentile law -- not black, as far as the amerikkkan goes, this time b.u.t. -- of being "1/4 jewish?") was actually a troll who spent much time lying, launching personal attacks against *ytzhak*, defaming the character of the poster, attacking and deleting latino posts and complying with the racist segregationist policies of california immigration laws and xenophobia and making false claims of *antisemiticism* (the new tools for anyne who critiques or challenges the centres of power) along with guamanian/dan bashaw with jim hedger/radhippie (supporter of ernst zundle) and former member of the white boy only anachist club, as their go boy shill -- some are lawyers now advising on how far they can push a nigger legally without getting caught; some pretend to be journalists for media monoplies. most imc would find it odd that a troll would be offered a position on the admin of the imc they have disrupted and attacked. then that very troll would, try and invoke choas on the site to collapse it and then encourage very threatening and affected/disturbed persons to engage in internet harassment against a regular poster and other peoples in order to discourage them from participating in local and global affairs that contradict the white global supremacist and elitist agenda. any opportunity to make light of, humiliate and harass *ytzhak* or lawrence ytzhak braithwaite, the below imc coopters have taken and it has become, much to their schoolyard bullying pleasure, humiliating, unfair, anti-intellectual, childish and intolerable -- a form of behvariorial modification -- which is the desired affect of harassment. it's not that people are blind to the bad behavior of the white bourjois in public b.u.t. that it is to make the situation so insane that anyone reacting normally, to extreme confrontation and hyperbole, with no jusitice or fairness/no checks and balances and with no outlet -- then like a frustrated ghetto boy from native son or a palestinian bomber, thrower or matyre, each seen taken out of contexte with no knowledge of the history of oppression, would toss themselves into the mix like c k chesterton's description of art to *thursday* -- in a sudden act of desperation, -- so why should i be a fool for this? this city which has history of erasing and/ignoring the accomplishments of nonwhites is so hell bent on cultural imperialism it has almost become an inbred race or ethncity in itself. i have never been offered the respect as a long time member of this society here or of the community, despite my work to assist, or as an author worthy of respect and as an asset. i remained always pushed to the outside with a theatrical flair of making as if i was resisting an invitation -- i was and am resisting tokenism & colonial labels. frankly, i have been treated like an uppity nigger that won't know his place (or when that stranger called honesty and straight talk take hold -- like an animal) . if people disagreed with me on an intellectual level that would be one thing -- b.u.t. it is reduced to slander, bullying, defamation and humiliation tactics -- for like israel, and it's brutality toward difference, they can't seem to make a case for it or any other their twisted idealogies. they can only build firewalls and shoot of derision. basically, i have been subjected to the old colonial ritual of personal harassment -- my body violated, my accomplishments the victim of benign neglect and driven to the point of despair by these powers with the hope that i self destruct via negative reinforcement and isolation. i guess that's what you get when you are drafted, and i say drafted because i do not prefess to be of greatness or noble calling, only a simple man not a *boy* or anybody's *boy* as a supremist poster refereners to me as, b.u.t. at times a bit ridiculous, into fighting/or starting a scene of two as lord attendant, for a noble cause/for my peoples -- staggering in the footsteps with an increasingly heavying backpack -- in the footsteps of bruhs/sis and ancestors -- more stronger than i -- the tokenism and invisibility of our invincable accomplishements in this city and what jay-z once reminded us, to get people to "see what a nigga look like when a nigga in a roadsta"/or nigga as an author -- to see ourselves -- from niggas to gods as bruh akil once wrote. to hear ourselves -- not the reflection tolerance of the so called liberal british columbian society, a society that has an agenda of making this a white dialogue -- be it left or right -- junkie or str8 edge -- of separatist and one race caste system, b.u.t. one of as accomplished various individuals who have a right to BEE seen, respected and heard. since i have been here whatever opportunity, on an increasing level, has been taken to degrade me -- to criminalize me, to take me down a few notches -- tokenize and label. i have not been in the least bit respected or publicly acknowledge as an asset to my community - to my city. i have served this country for 11 years of my life. i have studied the classics. i wrote what has been acknowledge as cult classic in the united states. both novels have had featured reviews and praises from the alterntive to mainstream presses, outside of victoria. i was the first kkkanadian to have been signed to much saught after press. my writngs have been included in the national poetry archieves, studied at grad level in university. i have worked with food not bombs, put together a zine of black, native and muslim knowledge and revolutionary thought (mw), made chapbooks illustrated by local artists. my recordings and writing have been heard and published, respectively, internationally. my hope and struggle has always been for new palestine. i have struggled for my community and faught and turned down opportunities in both the u.s. and kkkanada who have attempted to disrespect the peoples here and my fam and peoples in general -- compromise our integrity = "i am we". and have always acknowledged being from victoria and not the more glamourous big city of vancouver, like so many other artist have attempted to do, and all these efforts have garndered is benign neglect, brutality and/or constant humilation (to every step in my elevation which, will, god willing, remain constant), and in the case of certain city privately contracted individuals, like an animal who won't down stay. ...and by some coincidence i'm am suppose to ignor, or we are, that all this has happened to, and is happening to, the first black author of british columbia. one not treated as a prize. ...not as human b.u.t. as being killed by willful destruction. i must admit, i have been foolish, in my obession over making this city and my hood feel and think and CEE. ...for i have, openly, in a covert manner, said, not worship or adore -- not even more importantly, like, maybe -- b.u.t. 'love me'. ...and all smirked all the way. b.u.t i know that... b.u.t. i grow tired... ...and my backpack, visible or not, gets heavier kkkanadian towns have always had a history of, not only institutional, b.u.t. local citizenry collective racism, harassment and complicity in the rapes, murders and other wilful destruction of humnanbeings undesired/'not wanted on the journey' by the static quo -- be they natives, poor, black and now muslims and arabs - one might say that kkkanada comes into it's own or collapses, for maybe it is what ahmadinejad has said, 'colonialism time has come to an end', as the nwo makes a power move on the world -- for no two have anything more in common for the sadistic bullying, cold kills, bought journalist monopolies on truth, worship of mediocrity, and utter disregard for the individual and human values of difference and varying cultures and voices. imc's were created and fought for in an attempt to bring truth to the people and combat the lies of the mainstream coopted media. it then became an outlet for creativity for those on the outskirts or rejecting mainstream corporate arts -- BEE it hip hop, punk, rap, turntablism, literature, poetry or creative non-fiction or film and video. it was not, however, ever meant to be a forum for failed peoples to place themselves as admin or editors and engage and provoke harassment and humiliation of individuals who do not stroll with the party line -- nor was it meant to be a lackey to brutal, apartheid regimes, totalitarian governments, dysfunctional racist individuals and corporate whores. in the case of victoria.indymedia.org, it has fallen victim to to the spooks of planted seeds of kkkanadian imperialism and media same think unthink tank totalitARYANism and showboaters. in a town with aryan nation groups, fascists separatists electoral parties, paranoid white folk training grounds, a gay community loyal to corporate and white power causes, mercenaries and supremacist gangs ...they say the trouble and threat to freedome and what must be faught and degraded for the safety of jews and even homosexuals, lies in combating one of the victims of these totalitarianism groups since his arrival -- the black author lawrence ytzhak braithwaite. ...and as good hypocracy, the sort this country breeds in the very genes of it's system, it is done with the stance of fighting against the oppression of now oppressive groups = *homophobia* and now *antijewish* sentiments and the new heretical religion of *holocaust deniel* i.e. hiding behind white european jewish struggle (where if any negative comments were made against these two groups, and new born religion, would have been deleted within minutes) all of whom who having forgotten the solidarity that got them here - or what it is like to be treated cruely by what was once the opressors, have decided to join the daemon's cacophony of destruction of enlightment for the dark ages of fear and ignorance, as bedfellows. nigger go home. ...and bruthas got the shout down of *let the niggers burn* my body and life in this place is the witness, inshallah. if something should happen to me (and it scares to say it shall) -- remember not only these names and it's history and pracitices b.u.t. remember the city and it's habits and plants, inshallah. one day we will be, inshallah peace 1426 Lawrence Y Braithwaite (aka Lord Patch) New Palestine/Fernwood/The Hood Victoria, BC "...President Ahmadinejad considered the "existence of an appropriate atmosphere for expressing viewpoints" as the prerequisite for "holding dialogues among countries", adding "if one side would keep on talking and the other side would merely have to listen, it would not be called a dialogue." He added, "the era of colonialism and literature of threats has long been over..." -- mahmoud ahmadinejad see: Lawrence Braithwaite: Hezbollah's Boy in Victoria by ... • Wednesday January 25, 2006 at 07:49 AM "...So what is the problem with Ahmadinejad's speech against Israel? Will this hurt the Arabs? I believe that we will benefit...." The problem with that asshole's speeches is that he causes the rest of the world to believe that Iran is run by raving lunatics...
