Some advice from the Colorado Street Medics

User avatar
Image
Once again, life imitates the Cube as organizers of Recreate '68 movement to disrupt the DNC convention in Denver post this advice to their constituents about the behavioral effects of the altitude. We are not making this up:

Recreate '68 / Street Medics wrote:Traveling to Denver, the well known “Mile High City”, will be an increase in elevation for many of the people traveling from other states. ... If you are coming to Denver from sea level, the increased difficulty in passing oxygen from your lungs to your red blood cells posses several possible behavioral effects. These include:

Increased errors in performing simple mental tasks.
Decreased ability for sustained concentration.
Deterioration of memory.
Decreased vigilance or lethargy.
Increased irritability in some individuals.
Impairment of night vision and some constriction in peripheral vision (up to 30 percent at 6,000 feet).
Loss of appetite.
Sleep disturbances.
Irregular breathing.
Slurred speech.
Headache.

See you soon!

Recreate '68 wrote:Shake Your Money Maker — Denver Mint, August 25, 5pm

Image It's time to redistribute the wealth. Between security and corporate pay-offs, the DNC will cost over 100 million dollars for a party. We think the people deserve that money. Join us as we encircle the Denver Mint (where U.S. currency is produced) and use our collective power to raise the mint building in the air and shake the money out of it for the people. Don't forget a sack to put all of your loot in.

Bring noise makers, energy, spells, magic,costumes, anything that gives you power. We'll need it!

Recreate '68? But, I thought the Democrats lost in '68.

Gee, I wonder why they closed the comments on the "shake the mint" thread? Surely if some hateful trolls had showed up and started saying rude things to harsh their collective mellows, they could have done a quick chant, dressed up in a few costumes, cast a few spells, and silenced the trolls without censorship. I mean, if they can pick up the mint and shake cash out of it, this shouldn't be all that hard....

There's something deliciously ironic about a movement that seeks to bring about change by creating beings that can only come to life and function if someone else is pulling the strings, or sticking a hand or some other object up their ass.

I was wondering why, as I meandered around the Recreate 68 site, I felt as if I were watching one of those corny sci-fi/horror flicks from the '50's--the unintentionally funny kind where you sit on the sofa with your favorite comrade and you exchange sarcastic comments about it, occasionally shouting them at the TV and inserting your own dialogue, etc.

Good Progressive that I am, I lifted this from the IMDB.

Klaatu: I am leaving soon, and you will forgive me if I speak bluntly. The universe grows smaller every day, and the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere, can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all, or no one is secure. Now, this does not mean giving up any freedom, except the freedom to act irresponsibly. Your ancestors knew this when they made laws to govern themselves and hired policemen to enforce them. We, of the other planets, have long accepted this principle. We have an organization for the mutual protection of all planets and for the complete elimination of aggression. The test of any such higher authority is, of course, the police force that supports it. For our policemen, we created a race of robots. Their function is to patrol the planets in spaceships like this one and preserve the peace. In matters of aggression, we have given them absolute power over us. This power cannot be revoked. At the first sign of violence, they act automatically against the aggressor. The penalty for provoking their action is too terrible to risk. The result is, we live in peace, without arms or armies, secure in the knowledge that we are free from aggression and war. Free to pursue more... profitable enterprises. Now, we do not pretend to have achieved perfection, but we do have a system, and it works. I came here to give you these facts. It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet, but if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder. Your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you.

Tom the Puppeteer: "We are creating a race of puppets!"

Pinkie - Klaatu mentioned the robot police (incorruptible, I assume) but he forgot to mention the courts and the legislature. Is guilt or innocence decided by the robots alone? Aren't there any "gray areas"? Don't laws change occasionally? Say, if the robots were programmed in the times of the Prohibition, they should be killing everyone who drinks, sells, or produces hard liquor - regardless of the fact that people had smartened up and changed the laws.

It seems that the idea of the movie was created by grumpy socialists out of a deep frustration over the failure of their favorite totalitarian regimes to bring about peace, justice, and prosperity due to the fact that humans will always find a way how to screw things up. Hence the robot race to guarantee us Life, Liberty, and Automated Dispensation of Happiness.

Apparently, totalitarian surveillance is OK if it's done by impersonal and non-judgmental robots. Which brings to mind the liberal objections to Bush's wiretapping. That was really inconsistent on their part, especially that in Bush's case the response was not blindly automatic and did not result in a complete obliteration of planets.

Every time I think about that movie I discover more and more things that are terribly wrong with it. And don't even get me started on the 12 Angry Men that I watched over the weekend.

And I forgot to mention that, like Pinkie, I also wondered if the Puppet Workshop was not meant to create a race of gigantic puppets. Either that, or create puppets out of men.

Image Pinkie,so funny that you mention Klatuu again. It(The day the Earth Stood Still) was on this last weekend and I dvr'd it. Watched a little of the beginning(the part where he's in the infirmary/hospital? and asks to speak w/ all of the earth's leaders...so then I f.f. through all of the movie trying to find the part where he is addressing all the leaders and it's at the end...anyway, the speech that you wrote in your post is all of the movie that I saw('cept for that first little part). Red is right,that movie was so ignorant in its concept of "world/universal peace". Atleast later movies w/ the theme of an all-powerful, artificial intelligence piece of hardware were a bit more cogent about the dangers that this might present.....like the W.O.P.R. from Wargames? This movie(TDTESS) had no clue....Ahhh,the good old days.


K-on:
I saved it though...cuz I might want to watch it later to get some good ideas on progressive peacekeeping.

It would seem there are no courts or legislature in Klaatu's utopia. From his speech:

For our policemen, we created a race of robots. Their function is to patrol the planets in spaceships like this one and preserve the peace. In matters of aggression, we have given them absolute power over us. This power cannot be revoked.

They have surrendered their power--irrevocably--to the robots. No changes, not even occasionally. Then you go on to say:

Say, if the robots were programmed in the times of the Prohibition, they should be killing everyone who drinks, sells, or produces hard liquor - regardless of the fact that people had smartened up and changed the laws.

Oh, Red! You're not supposed to notice petty little distractions like that! Can't you focus on the bigger, more important issues?

Seriously, I think the idea of explaining their utopia by attributing it all to a "race of robots" keeping law and order borders on deus ex machina. Just like liberals in real-life, they can't coherently explain how they plan to make their wonderful system work long term, hence the robots. It's like the Recreate 68'ers thinking they can use magic and spells and happy thoughts to shake money out of the mint. It's nothing but a cop-out, a whole lot of snake oil and excrement.

It seems that the idea of the movie was created by grumpy socialists out of a deep frustration over the failure of their favorite totalitarian regimes to bring about peace, justice, and prosperity due to the fact that humans will always find a way how to screw things up. Hence the robot race to guarantee us Life, Liberty, and Automated Dispensation of Happiness.

Perhaps you're not the only one who's noticed the fatal flaw in robots. That's why we're going to use puppets, instead! They simply didn't have the right artificial beings in charge, that's all!

That was really inconsistent on their part, especially that in Bush's case the response was not blindly automatic and did not result in a complete obliteration of planets.

That is absolutely wrong. It did so result in the complete obliteration of all planets. You can find that information anywhere on the Internet at truly independent sources like truthout.org, DKos, and HuffPo. The corporate media simply chose to ignore it.

Every time I think about that movie I discover more and more things that are terribly wrong with it.

Well, of course. Like the part that shows the Earth "standing still?" Anyone can see it's not really standing still; that they cheated and used photographs. In fact, I'll bet if you could freeze frame the exact moment the flying saucer takes off, you can make out the word "Frisbie Pies" on its bottom.

And don't even get me started on the 12 Angry Men that I watched over the weekend.

I haven't seen it, but I'm guessing for starters it's sexist and racist as the jury consists solely of white men, who are always angry about something anyway.

One other thing wrong with the premise of the movie - their robots were very much like the MAD doctrine, though I realize the analogy only goes so far. It's not hard to imagine that the very real threat of a nuclear war prevented the imperialists from attacking the Motherland causing another devastating Patriotic War. The nuclear umbrella acted as a force-in-being, very much like the robots in the movie acted as a force-in-being, making a major war unthinkable. Our nuclear arms have saved millions of lives.

Personally, I'd rather have the nuclear umbrella and live like a man than have robots that act as judge, jury and executioner. That is quite barbaric.

Oh, no, comrade, that's progressive! Once less equal human life has been exterminated either by robots or by puppets, then all nature can be restored to her original balance and perfection. Remember, if it wasn't for humans fouling things up, Bambi's mother would be alive today. We're They're only getting what we they deserve.

Comrade Cube, are those not exactly the same behavioral effects seen in sea level Chicago?

Comrades... I am moved! Moved and prostrate on the floor after viewing this wonderful site! How it makes my heart sing to see young, old, dumb and dumber, stoned and former addicts, anti-war and pro-peace groups etc, all joining in, coming together for such an event.

But we must be on guard! For there is little doubt in my mind that the mass media, the pawns of the VRWC, will do everything they can to not allow this event from being televised to a public yearning for Hope. We must do all we can to make sure these events are made available!

Okay,I'm stealing(or is it liberating?) the spousal unit thingie...I like it better than the term husband unit...it's more inclusive and suggests either sex, so no-one will know whether I am married to a woman or a man....oodles and oodles of progressiveness!!

User avatar
Liberating, comrade, always "liberating." We are the people. The people are we. All property that does not belong to us, as the people, has been stolen from us (we) by them (the man). Or as Einstein conclusively proved with the People's Mathtm: All things are relative. All relatives are things. My relatives have taken all my things.

Betinov, you genius! You've just demonstrated through People's LogicTM that universal affirmatives have valid converses.
  • All hope is change. All change is hope.
  • All inbred, Walmart shopping, homeschooled rednecks are Republicans. All IWSHRs are Republicans.
  • All Party members are more equal superior beings. All MESBs are Party members.
And the list goes on. What a world you have opened to us. Aristotle is dead, and we have purged him.
