The new culture of resistance!

Generation OS13 is an explosive insight into the attack on civil liberties occurring in western democracies and how artists, musicians, journalists and authors encourage the peoples right to resist against Banker occupation.


Examining economic dictatorships, puppet regimes, tax havens, tax dodgers, and the debt based money system the film explains why 'you can not count on the law makers to see shit when it first happens'. For a new era, generation OS13, the repression will not be tolerated; do 'the government really think they can win that war if the young people are like fuck this, you cant beat that you, can't beat us, its Impossible' - Saul Williams.

Featuring Painter, poet & song writer Billy Childish, Harry Malt from Bare Bones, Luke Turner from The Quietus, journalist Huw Nesbitt, broadcaster Max Kaiser, author Nicholas Shaxson & Artists Anika, Comanechi, Gaggle's & Saul Williams.

What is all this "OCCUPY" crap about anyways?

If a picture is worth a thousand words then...




Get it? Do YOU understand what it is REALly about? Stop dividing yourselves over the smaller "causes", these things are only SYMPTOMS of the greater ILL(ness). This is a HUMANity issue (illness) and only YOU, each and every one of YOU reading this, watching this can resolve (cure/fix) "IT".

To the noble Occupiers of People's Park in Bloomington, IN (and elsewhere Globally) I say this, that now is NOT the time for compliance with the SYSTEM, I assure you that it will has WILL NOT by COMPLIANT to your needs, request, or demands! It does NOT want to be changed, or threatened.

The SYSTEM is YOUR OPPRESSOR!  
Do not be fooled by the masks of "familiar faces" in your local Government, Officials, and yes I dare say it, or even your fellow citizens. The corruption and oppression run all throughout the system, even way down to the "small town America" roots. BE WARNED and BE AT READY, for the time will come when the SYSTEM and thus it's local Represententives ( I assure you that they have not been representing us for some time now) and Officials (the cops are on the SYSTEMS payroll and thus do NOT serve and protect us that appose the SYSTEM) will lose tolerance and come down upon you with the mighty fist of OPPRESSION and it will be firm! When that time comes, know that there are those of us out here who have been "OCCUPYING" all along, in the shadows of those places that the SYSTEM has abandoned. We will always MEET OPPRESSION with direct and defiant RESISTANCE! If you choose to stand strong when that time comes, and it will, we of the Anti-Society will come out from the shadows and STAND with you! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

In the meantime, continue to strengthen in numbers and to "WAKING UP" the sheeple!

Eat Trash!

Facts About Food Waste
“The kind of society that would waste this much food is one that doesn't value the earth or the products it produces. It's in our own personal detriment to continue the process.”
-Dr. Timothy Jones
Every year in America we throw away 96 billion pounds of food.

One half of all food prepared in the US and Europe never gets eaten.

The Department of Agriculture estimated in 1996 that recovering just 5 percent of the food that is wasted could feed four million people a day; recovering 25 percent would feed 20 million people. Today we recover less than 2.5 percent.








Join Josh Kunau, producer of the film DIVE!, and Jonathan Bloom, author of American Wasteland, and Alex as we talk about food, dumpster diving, and why almost half of the food America produces winds up in landfills. Essentially throwing away hundreds of billions of dollars at a time when fiscal cuts are all the rage. We discuss what's wrong and who's doing something about it.

R.I.P. David Grubbs (a.k.a. The Indiana Outlaw)

This just in...
H-T report
January 24, 2011, last update: 1/24 @ 9:32 am

4200 Block of West Vernal Pike, Ellettsville Fire Dept., Blooomington Hospital Ambulance Service, and Monroe Co. Sheriff Dept. responded to the scene. One human fatality found inside the residence. Reader Kyle Landgrebe submitted the photo.
A man’s body was found on the floor of a bedroom of a home on West Vernal Pike Sunday night by Ellettsville firefighters who extinguished a blaze at the one-story frame residence.

Ellettsville fire chief Jim Davis said a fire at 4230 W. Vernal Pike was reported at 8:32 p.m. Sunday, and the first fire units arrived within three minutes to find flames shooting through the bedroom windows.

The fire was knocked down in less than 10-15 minutes, according to Davis, who said the man was found dead on the floor of the bedroom during a search of the home. Identification of the man was being handled by the Monroe County Coroner’s Office, according to Davis.

Davis said the cause of the blaze is still under investigation, but he said the fire appeared to start in the vicinity of the bed in the room where the man was found. The Indiana Fire Marshal’s office was notified. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office also had units at the scene, Davis said.

Pure Pwnage! (ep09)

Pure PwnageImage via Wikipe

Jeremy is a leet gamer, but he still lives in his mom’s basement. His n00b brother Kyle, an aspiring filmmaker, documents Jeremy’s life as he is forced to get off his ass and get a "real" job.








The beginning of the episode is a Call of Duty 2 skit, featuring FPS Doug and Jeremy playing as soldiers. They make a reference to Pulp Fiction; Doug says "[m]an, I hope you don't have a watch in your ass". Also, the skit bears a resemblance to the ending of Red vs Blue Episode 8. After the skit, Kyle decides to do an episode solely centering around Dave, because of his online popularity. The next scene involves FPS Doug receiving a new weapon from a friend of Teh_Masterer, and it parodies several scenes from the film Taxi Driver. Back to Jeremy and Dave, they encounter Anastasia, who is on a date with a guy who is a jock, which aggravates Jeremy. After a heated exchange, Jeremy storms off, clearly very angry.


After a while, the trio are confronted by a crowd of unknown micro warriors, who attack them. During the middle of the battle, the action cuts off to an important flashback of Dave's past in China, revealing his gaming history. Suddenly he breaks, and comes to the rescue, helping to drive away the attackers. Jeremy and Kyle immediately consult Teh_Masterer, who orders Jeremy to find more pro-gamers. Upon arriving home, Jeremy finds a sad note left by Dawei on the table, indicating his apologies and exit from the show.

The Ant-Society presents: Human Hair, Part 1 (1979)


Excerpt from documentary by Nancy Cain and Bart Friedman on their trip from Woodstock, NY to the Chicago Editing Center.







In this excerpt: Cain reads news report about a nuclear accident, and we see a reporter mistakenly attribute the accident at a nuclear power plant to human hair instead of human error; Cain and Friedman at site of a fire at Racine and Clyborn. At Palestine Kosher Red Hots and Sausage next door, people continue to eat, despite the fact that the building next door is burning down completely. They try to interview the firefighters, who are completely reticent, only telling them that the fire was started by a match; Friedman interviews men who are salvaging bricks from the wreckage of the fire. These men do not corroborate the report that the fire was started by a match; Cain and Friedman at an industrial site where scrap metal is being taken out of a giant pile with a giant magnet and put on a barge. Cain talks about capitalism and about having to give her thumbprint to cash a check.

Eventually, they arrive at LANageddon where they sign up for the CS:S tournament. The two easily win each game, and are destined to meet each other at the finals. However, they encounter a confident, loudmouthed adversary known as "deathstriker6666", whom they discover very quickly to be no noob.

Producer: Das Werk




A computer animated Short film written directed and animated by Derek Flood. Software used: Maya, Shake.

The Ant-Society presents: Lord of the Universe (1974)


Excerpt from the duPont-Columbia winning documentary that takes a skeptical view of the Guru Maharaj Ji, leader of a cult-like, new age group, the Divine Light Mission (DLM), and who is known to his followers as "The Lord of the Universe".





It chronicles a gathering of his followers at Houston's Astrodome, as well as some of the beliefs and practices of his zealous supporters. This excerpt features Rennie Davis and Abbie Hoffman. Clips of Davis in his more radicals days are contrasted with his current New Agey-support of the Guru. Hoffman is quite critical of Davis and the other followers: "Rennie is arrogant about the future... There's a difference between saying youve found god, and that you know his address."... "If this guy IS God, hes the God America deserves!"

Jeremy is a leet gamer, but he still lives in his mom’s basement. His n00b brother Kyle, an aspiring filmmaker, documents Jeremy’s life as he is forced to get off his ass and get a "real" job.






Jeremy "graciously" lets Kyle show a short film he made in film school, titled "Strong Man, Angry Man". After viewing the short film, Jeremy laughs and sarcastically mentions to Kyle that the film was "pretty good". Next, Jeremy insults Kyle’s camera skills, and claims that Kyle’s films will never pwn. They end up having an argument, causing Kyle to depart with his camera. He decides to start filming Doug instead, but Doug loses to a noob, due to lag, and develops a tantrum. Escaping Doug's somewhat psychotic behaviour, Kyle walks away to consider his dispute with Jeremy. Kyle realizes that their friendship is more important than creative differences, and they remain friends, or "mates" as the title implies.
