The attack on the Capitol yesterday has re-ignited the conversation of the double-standard and outright violence that the police exhibit to peaceful communities of color versus white terrorist organizations. Given the brutality that black communities have experienced at the hands of the police, not just throughout history, but more recently in the summer of 2020’s civil rights protests, the stark difference has rightfully gone viral.
Cries from the mainstream media and from many white Americans of bewilderment at the inaction at the Capitol attack has at best, further exposed the extent of American ignorance towards its own police system, and at worst shown a deliberate desire to turn a blind eye to a wholly corrupt system of law enforcement that perpetuates white supremacy and white violence.
At the time of writing, the Capitol Police Chief has just resigned due to how he handled the violent mob, and there are conflicting reports about why the National Guard was nowhere to be found during the early hours of the riot.
Throughout all of this, Twitter has been instrumental in the fight to hold police accountable for their involvement with violent white terrorists. …
It was all fun and games, yesterday. In an extraordinary display of white privilege, a mob of fascists celebrated as they overran Capitol police, smashed windows, terrorized the staff, trashed the place, left pipe bombs outside of offices on capitol grounds, and assaulted people with metal pipes while hunting for Representatives, Senators, and especially, Mike Pence.
They took selfies, stole sensitive items from representative’s offices, and live streamed the carnage. Y’know, super fun stuff! It’s not like anyone got hurt— there was “no violence in the crowd,” as I was told by the Trumpist leader of the Chicago’s police union, John Catanzara. Well, except for Capitol police, several whom are still in critical condition; and the one who died from his wounds. Because #BlueLivesMatter? Oh, and the death of several Trumpists inside the capitol.
But other than that, it was hilarious and fun, right? Those pictures show them all having a ball. It was all good, because Trump literally told them while they were violently wreaking havoc that he ” loves” them and that they were “special!”
Of course, he also told them he would march with them to the Capitol, right after he told them to head over there and make problems for “weak” Republicans. Trump isn’t good at keeping his word. He didn’t go with them… he got out of dodge. And 24 hours later, Trump did a 180: the very same mob he incited to riot, which he praised as patriots, now says they must “be made to pay.”
OH crap. No pardons, huh?
Their cult leader just turned on them to save his own skin. (Too late.) Let’s be real. The president was trying to stage a coup. He resisted sending in troops to quell his own mob. He knows the mountain of corruption and sexual assault charges that await him on January 20th at noon. This was a last ditch effort. It failed, and he cut the MAGA morons loose.
Now those idiots realize this isn’t going to be a simple breaking and entering.
• Seditious conspiracy.
• Damage to federal property.
• Use of explosives.
• Crossing state lines to commit crimes.
• Rebellion and Insurrection.
Double crap. But maybe they won’t find me? Oh wait. I posted it all on Parler. Damn.
Right now, they are losing their jobs. A boatload of them. Yet that is nothing compared to what is coming. Facing 20 years in prison, or worse, their celebratory fun suddenly doesn’t seem so much fun. Especially for those who participated who have a lot to lose…
Whether you’re a city mouse or a country mouse — with a high-rise patio or 1000 acres — building an herb spiral near your kitchen allows you to partake in the sustainable permaculture revolution and have fresh organic culinary herbs at your fingertips. An herb spiral is a compact vertical garden built on specific principles allowing for individualized management of wind and water flow to create the ideal garden in a limited amount of space.
The spiral is a natural form that provides an efficient method for managing space, storing and sorting. Using the natural universal design of a spiral, the forces of gravity and water flow are utilized to their fullest allowing for proper drainage downhill. Herbs that thrive on drier soils live at the top, whereas those needing more moisture reside at the bottom where water collects. This form allows for planting of a widely diverse number of plants, and creates natural, sunny and shady areas — a perfect miniature microclimate landscape environment. The herb spiral as a permaculture form that allows you to create your own ecosystem and become self sufficient. The format can be adapted to large gardens if space is available.
Stone or block building materials allow for retention of heat and insulate plants in colder weather or at night, while acting as the backbone for the structure. Collect water at the bottom and have a small fish or frog pond or even a bog and grow edible water plants. An herb spiral can be built even on a concrete foundation and filled with the richest biodynamic, organic earth to support any plants included.
The spiral should always be built to move in the direction of water drainage in whatever hemisphere it’s located in — for example, in the Northern hemisphere, water runs off in a clockwise direction and the opposite is true for the Southern hemisphere. This allows for optimal positioning of the pond at the bottom and reduces evaporation. The spiral can be built as a round or oval shape to take advantage of the movement of summer sunlight.
15 REASONS TO BUILD AN HERB SPIRAL FOR YOUR PERMACULTURE GARDEN
1. Maximize growing space to grow more food. 2. Multiple microclimates available for optimal plant growth.
3. Healthier plants where growing needs are met and companion planting is easy to reduce insect problems and foster beneficial plant relationships for better growth. 4. Aesthetic garden focal point.
5. Maximizes space even in very small areas on top of concrete or in high-rise buildings. 6. Harvesting access is easy and all plants are effortlessly accessible. 7. No bending, everything is at waist height — hooray!
8. Save money by growing your own food. 9. Eat organic, using heirloom seeds and avoid pesticides and genetically engineered seeds. 10. Reduces maintenance, little weeding and easy to turn and mulch.
11. Manage water amounts and use natural forces to perpetuate the growing season. 12. Reduce building costs when you use local available materials. 13. Use drip irrigation or a small sprinkler for easy watering and irrigation.
14. Create a bio-diverse habitat for creatures who come to visit. 15. Build an herb spiral to grow medicinal herbs to avoid Big Pharm drugs.

Pro wrestler James DeFalco aka “Jimmy Jact Cash”. Seen in the news previously for defrauding members of his now-bankrupt gyms of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Derrick Evans recently elected to West Virginia’s House of Delegates. It takes a special kind of domestic terrorist to try to overthrow the federal government while holding an elected position.
Jenna Ryan a realtor in Frisco, Texas. Are you allowed to hold a realtor’s license when you’ve committed a federal crime? I definitely wouldn’t want her having keys to my house.
Elizabeth Koch from Maryville, Tennessee. Props for outing yourself for federal crimes on national television. Double props for rubbing your eyes with an onion on camera and claiming you got maced.
Paul Davis former Associate General Counsel and Director of HR for Goosehead Insurance Company who fired him for domestic terrorism - and probably also gross incompetence. What kind of lawyer does a media interview while committing a federal crime? I’m guessing the State Bar of Texas is going to disbar him as well but we’re still waiting on that news.
Kristopher Drew licensed cosmetologist at Hair by Kristopher Drew. I’m not sure whether you’re allowed to be a cosmetologist and have a criminal record at the same time but I guess we’re about to find out.
Aaron Mostofsky son of Kings County Supreme Court Judge Steven (Shlomo) Mostofsky. Per the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, “Mostofsky’s brother Nachman, the executive director of Chovevei Zion, a politically conservative Orthodox advocacy organization, as well as a Brooklyn district leader and vice president of the South Brooklyn Conservative Club, also attended the rally Wednesday but did not enter the Capitol.”
Josiah Colt domestic terrorist and owner of FunnelCraft Co. in Boise, Idaho.
On the left is Nick DeCarlo from Murder the Media and on the right is Nick Ochs, Nazi and member of the Proud Boys. This pair of domestic terrorists posed for a photo inside the Capitol Building during their violent insurrection against the US Government.
Zach Crandall who outed himself for federal crimes.
Eduardo “Nick” Alvear seen here smoking pot inside the Capitol Building because why commit just one federal crime when you can commit two at once and document them both on film at the same time amiright.
Ben Thomas Crocker of Massachusetts. Apparently sedition and participating in a violent coup attempt makes you a “Maverick” these days.
Jenny Cudd founder of Becky’s Flowers in Midland, Texas. Yes this domestic terrorist and white supremacist called herself out as a Becky. Even if you’re fine doing business with seditionists (I’m not) I wouldn’t recommend booking her for your next special event unless it’s five to ten years out.
Dean Gomez, sales manager at Kevin Harris Allstate Insurance Agency in Evansville, Indiana, who was part of the attempted coup and tried really hard to break in to a federal building but didn’t quite manage it. Is your presence at a violent insurrection and intention to overthrow the federal government enough to land you in prison? I guess we’ll find out.
Jason Alexander (yes that Jason Alexander), domestic terrorist. #FreeBritney but Jason Alexander belongs in prison for federal crimes.
