Editors note:These stories are simply to give you an under view of the less reported stories that effect each one of us. These stories are merely intended to make you think and perhaps question the answers that are publicized in our everyday media. We are not here to change your beliefs nor sway you to one side or the other, we are simply giving you our Urban SWERVE on the real life events that have taken on lives of their own in our virtual arenas. We are not a fashion magazine (though we do love our fashion), we are not a gossip tabloid (thought we get our share in). We are not an IMVU tribute magazine; we just happen to have met and built our connections through its virtual forum. We are SWERVE magazine and this has been our virtual soapbox since 2008. We are a virtual world of friends from every part of the world, and every nationality in it. We are poets, artist, writers, reports, brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, but most of all we are compassionate and concerned about the state of our universe. D’OSHAI

“FEMA knew at eleven o’clock on Monday that the levees had breached, at 2 o’clock they flew over the 17th St. Canal and took video of the breaches, by midnight on Monday the White House knew, but none of us knew.” In this half-hour film, Greg Palast and his team travel to New Orleans to investigate what has happened since Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast last year. On his visit, he discovers that the population of New Orleans is miniscule, the reconstruction sparse, suicide rates are climbing, and many have not, nor know how to, return to the city that care forgot. He examines why residents had to leave, what really caused the flood and why they aren’t returning. ???

The story of KATRINA will forever Be a discussion on the lips of generations to come. The acts mandated In the events of this horrific storm have been manipulated, denied, recreated and based on lies. Only those that heard the sounds smelled the corruptness and lived as the levies “broke” can be true accounts. We the majority may never know, furthermore it seems future will never tell due to the history that has been told.

Namaste, peace be upon you, this is Taina and I have created a new biweekly informative piece on the influence and power of Astrology. Some people have written off and even snubbed at the use of astrology to the forecast of the universal climatical vibration. It has been proven within all books of Re-Legion where the stars and heavens have been a guide to universal law and order. In the Bible, Isaiah 45:12 "I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded." The word "host," which Origen says is "stars," is never used for stars in the Bible. Hosts means the armies or company of heaven. The queen of heaven is mentioned several times in Jeremiah and the moon is mentioned twice (Jeremiah 8:2 and 31:35), but nowhere is there the least hint that the moon is the queen of heaven. The moon appears nowhere near the context of the queen of heaven there, or anywhere else in the Bible. The readings and use of constellations are but mere reference to the signs of the zodiac. It provided a template of how the age of man was to be governed based on the setting of the influences of all planets have on the planet earth and it inhabitants. In astrology, we are born with 10 planets that had an influence on the individual's personality. The 10 planets are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Since we are fixated on the 3rd planet from the sun, we are suspended in a solar system that all planets have a vibrational pull on the planet and the individual. It is enough to say that I'm a Sagittarius or I'm a Libra, but to really know the depth of individual and their influences, you have to believe in the rest of the planets powers. The Planets Sun: This is our life sustaining star. It created vitality and animation to all the planets of the solar system. Without it, life as we know it would die. This Planet (also known as a luminary and a star) represents the self, one's personality and ego, the spirit and what it is that makes the individual unique. It is our identity and our face to the world. Moon: Since the Moon is the closest 'Planet' to Earth, this satellite literally zips around the Zodiac, completing its circuit in less than a month. It also touches us more deeply than most Planets. As the ruler of the tides, it is fitting that the Moon should be the ruler of our emotions. Mercury: Mercury, much like the winged messenger of the gods, comes in on feather-light wings and commands us to speak. Communication, intellect and awareness are all within Mercury's domain, as are logic and reasoning, our manner of thinking, and how we create and express our thought processes.

10


Venus: This Planet concerns with love, romance and harmony in our emotional attachments, marriages, friendships and other unions (like business partnerships). Venus is content to spread happiness and tenderness, all the while teaching us how to love and appreciate others and the things that we possess. We appear attractive -- and we attract others -- thanks to Venus's energy. Socializing with and relating to others are important to this Planet. Mars: The 'Red Planet,' after all, should be pretty fiery, and Mars does not disappoint. Energy, passion, drive and determination are all right up Mars's alley. This Planet commands you (and yes, Mars does rule the military) to stand up, be noticed and get things done -- sitting on the sidelines belongs somewhere else in the heavens. Simply put, Mars speaks to the power and confident expression of the individual. Jupiter: In the more spiritual realm, Jupiter lords over religions and philosophy. A search for the answers is what Jupiter proposes, and if it means spanning the globe to find them, well, that's probably why Jupiter also rules long-distance travel. Saturn: That's the role of the taskmaster of the Zodiac. Saturn commands us to get to work and to work hard. Discipline and responsibility are important to this Planet, yet if we're eager to conquer the world, that's okay, too. Uranus: The Planet Uranus wasn't discovered until 1781. As one of the outermost Planets, it moves rather slowly through the Zodiac. The result is that its effect is felt more generationally than individually. Uranus brings with it a new way of looking at things and its approach is best met with an expanded consciousness. Originality, inventions, computers, cutting-edge technologies and future events are all ruled by this Planet. Neptune: Neptune, another of the outer Planets, was discovered in 1846. Its slow orbit around our Zodiac ensures that its effect is generational in nature. Neptune's glyph is the trident of Pluto: As the outermost Planet in our solar system, Pluto is also the farthest from the Sun. It has only recently been discovered, having come to light (albeit a dim one) in 1930. Pluto's energy may be subtle, but its results will hit you like a ton of bricks. This Planet is about transformation, regeneration and rebirth. Things aren't pretty with Pluto, but they do get done. Pluto says 'out with the old and in with the new,' and we'd better be ready for it. If we're not, this Planet will simply have us wallow in our misery. This is a little synopsis to the in-depth world of astrology. In the next two weeks, I will cover how you can implement them into your solar chart and get a overview into your personality and the personality of others. And in ending, I give you the greeting‌.Namaste (peace)! MrsTainaStacks

JUST MY THOUGHTS: What do you consider freedom? Is freedom something depended on the society in which one lives? Is freedom universal and nonexchangeable? Is freedom the fact that you THINK you can do and say anything and everything you want to? Is freedom just the simplicity of having privacy? Is freedom a corporation that you can buy into? HMM! Maybe freedom has something to do with race. Who bought the freedom and to whom is it truly for sale? Anyone? Everyone? No one? Personally I do not feel the freedom and it feels like the box is getting even smaller and the ticket is getting more unattainable. Perhaps there is a freedom; we just cannot afford the ticket Just a thought: Maybe the plantation never closed down, it just became integrated. .

When A Person says something that’s so dumb founding, anything said after would create dispositions. Clap your hands together, throw them in the air and say: When a person dosent remember something you have told them more then 3 times yet they tell you they are not willing to write it down. “IM OUT”. When a grown man ows you money (less then $1,000) for over a year and they say they have not had the money and they are still looking for work. “IM OUT”

When a grown man in a serious chat uses phrases like “OMG”, “BFF”, or answers with just “K”. “IM OUT” When a person says they are intelligent, yet they repeat the same things over and over again. And when their repetitive behavior is pointed out, their rebuttal is " Only God can judge me". "IM OUT".

NEW BEGINNINGS Poetry brought to you by: theHOUSEofPOETRY Aug 22, 2013 in the virtual world of IMVU it was a night full of family, friends, good music and poetry that will be forever sketched in the minds of those that attended. It was a beautiful Thursday night the moon was full, the breeze was perfectly blowing outside and inside the J420lounge was as cozy as its warm summer night. The night started with smooth jazz and meditation sounds provided bySWERVEmagazine/HOUSEofPOETRY members DoshaiMan and TainaStacks whom also later that night blessed the packed house with a few poetic verses. Although the night was set to start at around 6pm pacific time, by 7pm guest were still lined up and pouring in to witness the night that would be one of beauty. Poetic lineup included DoshaiMan, LazhaDuBois, Ohiop, QueenDaSanya, and Taina Stacks. By the end of the night harts were full of joy and the jazzy vibe had everyone floating on a virtual cloud.

Let me take you on a journey through my mind. Let me take you to a place where the wind blows knowledge and each crease yields a bountiful abundance of curiosity. Let me lead you through infinite anomalies contrived on pure imagination never lacking the luster of sheer brilliance. Time and time I have traveled my inner course dirt roads and prickly thorns yet adorned in majestic simplicities worthy of Aristotle’s vividness of Plato. My mind is Icarus in flight unknowing limitations, recreating obsolete jewels in hieroglyphic until hyper-glitches infest the sanctuary with esoteric pictures, allegoric pretentious allusions and illusions. Dare I be esoteric? I am enthralled in the mental climates that clash cantankerously duped on by pseudo-educations spewing pseudo-sadistic sediments and rudimental fundamentals as mundane as the words themselves. Let me take you on a journey that flies over the radar, beneath the empathy and around the camouflage and no were near the rudimental fundamentals. My mind is Icarus in flight unknowing limitations. My limitations are Icarus contradicting the depiction of perception. Judge my book by its so called “Africa American” cover until all you see is my “African american” cover. I am my purest thought thinking of what you have thought of me, only to think not, knowing you would have never crossed my mind. Im Stokely sippin fine wine of life in baggy jeans and unlaced tennis shoes. I’m Marcus Garvey grass root politician bobbin to Mos Deff , Kwali and Common using common since and cents to run a coo with the coop. Let me take you where they said you could never go. Let me intrigue you with mental frequencies the television negates stagnates and in time confiscates. Let me reintroduce you to who I never knew I was in return find out who we have always been. Do not judge me beware of ME. I am a constant work always in thought. I AM the NEW BEGINNING

I have come down from the land of make-believe, and I have found a new strength to believe in me So when I come upon you, don’t be afraid to open your arms, and welcome me, for I have another chance at Adulthood for I am headed your way A New Beginning You're throwing it away; you're wasting your life I use to be told that “You're too young to know what decisions to make” “You're moving too fast know what opportunities to take” You're just starting over again they told me, too defiant and wild to think about what is right for you… A New Beginning You're on the brink of falling over the edge. Don't take a step too far; be cautious, right now you're on the ledge. I can imagine myself running through the forest searching for breath to keep running Now I share my breath with you, and hold dear to the memories we've shared which is the side of me that was near death When I stop, I see the words” You are blessed.” You now have a chance at a new life.” No one will be able to take your breath." A New Beginning is what the voice said to me Now I share my breath with you, and hold dear to the memories we've shared, and will continue sharing in the times ahead. I thank you now for giving me a new beginning - a better life.

All journeys begins with that scary first step Armed only with hope, you look both ways Feeling your legs getting weak you feel inadequate But this inner change is confirmation of your push for that leap of faith That beckons you to shed your shroud and take on a new shape Take of those dead winter clothes and prepare for spring Entering into the unknown, life nudges you to move forward Cause the height of your life has soon to written Be your own author, sit and take a pen Write your inner ambitions and dreams And watch your words take action To the realm of infinite possibilities that awaits you.

Life once asked the question “What’s in a name”? It replied, “Everything”. Once a pun a time life was told a secret and when asked from Whence the information arrived, it replied, “A little birdie told me”. Recently life asked you for a glimpse in to your personal life. Without hesitation, you informed without prejudice. Now that your face is on every “Book”, your name still floats around in every “Space” and socially, your connection officially puts you in the matrix, Who are you? You are thought written to creation. You are everything that law and religion has written. “The writing is now on the wall” (literally). We have entered a cycle of new writings that could very well be a new “New Testament”. Never in the history of life have so many people had so much to write, unfortunately it has remained full of mysticism and the latter of situations. We are and have always been the characters in history’s greatest stories and pre-written conditions. The problem is most having no idea they are the very authors and by the simple stroke of a pen everything could change. In closing, life was once told, “The pen is mightier than the sword”. Life still has not replied. D’OSHAI ViCl0USView Pulse 9/07/13 (IMVU) We have to STOP speaking so much life into negative things and people. A fire will eventually die out if we discontinue to fuel it. Besides we should spend LESS time repeating what haters say and MORE time thanking those that support us

“BEAST”? Lets talk Kendrick Lamar. As of recently it seems the internet has been all a buzz over the verse rapped on a song titled “control Freestyle”. Was this one of his best verses thus far? By the spectacle surrounding, the verse you would think he lyrically murder every M.c in existence. I would venture to say this is not even one of his best verses; Do not get it confused this guy is one of the hottest rappers on the scene and he does bring something worth listening to, but perhaps as always the media will take this to a place that gets very dark very quick. PS. There are plenty m.c.. Responses in web land, BEAST! More about Kendrick Lamar BING Kendrick Lamar “Good Kid, MaAD City” is officially platinum, topping the 1 million sales mark - LATEST c.d.:

Let me start off by saying I finally had a chance to check out the OvO Fest 2013 performance that TLC had the honor of “Tearing down the house” on. I start here to say rapper Lil Mamma (famed song “Lip-gloss is Poppin”) did a guest appearance performing the late great “Left Eye’s” part in the song “No Scrubbs”.

26


Prior to seeing this Ide heard mixed reviews including reviews of the upcoming VH1 film with Lil Mamma once again playing the role of Left Eye, and the reviews were not always pleasant . Well, the movie is set to release sometime in September or October 2013, but as for Lil Mamma appearing as a guest at the Festival, it was fantastic, and I personally do not think they could have chosen a better person to pay homage and respect. It seems she captured the spirit beautifully, looked very TLC worthy and she moved and spit those lyrics with respectful conviction. I think Left Eye would be proudly looking down on her girls right now saying “ooooooooo on the TLC tip!” D’OSHAI 1991–94: Ooooooohhh... On the TLC Tip 1993–96: CrazySexyCool 1997–2000: FanMail 2001–04: 3D and the death of Left Eye On July 25, 2013, it was announced that the group had signed a recording contract with Sony Music Epic Records, and intend to release a new album on October 15, 2013 which will include the group's biggest hits and four newly recorded songs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TLC_(band)

VH1 Casts Lil Mama As Left Eye in TLC Movie By Margaret Lyons . 2/19/13 at 3:00 VH1 has found its TLC in Keke Palmer, Lil Mama, and Drew Sidora, who have been cast in the upcoming made-for-TV biopic about the iconic nineties trio, the network announced today. Palmer, who broke out in 2006's Akeelah and the Bee and then starred in Nickelodeon's True Jackson, will play Chilli; singer, rapper, and judge on America's Best Dance Crew Lil Mama will play Left Eye; and Sidora, who co-starred in Step Up, will play T-Boz. Crazy, Sexy, Cool: The TLC Story starts filming next month, and we'll be listening to "Creep" pretty much on repeat until this movie comes outPM

Dan Isett from the PTC released the following statement. MTV has once again succeeded in marketing sexually charged messages to young children using former child stars and condom commercials — while falsely rating this program as appropriate for kids as young as 14. This is unacceptable.” Later adding, ”MTV continues to sexually exploit young women by promoting acts that incorporate ‘twerking’ in a nude-colored bikini.

.

How is this image of former child star Miley Cyrus appropriate for 14-yearolds? How is it appropriate for children to watch Lady Gaga strip down to a bikini in the opening act?”

OBESE children? CALIFORNIA- is now trying to out-Bloomberg the rest of the nation with a newly proposed bill that requires half of the food sold from vending machines to meet nutritional guidelines by the beginning of 2015. By 2016, it would grow to 75%, then the next year be basically 100% free of Hot Cheetoes and Brawndo-The Thirst Mutilator. The L.A. Times reports that Assembly Bill 459, set to go before California's Committee on Appropriations today, would apply the new rules to state office buildings and government property, including State-sponsored schools. Acceptable foodstuffs replacing the mass-produced garbage include such terribly unpopular snack choices as water, low-fat milk, vegetables, and fruit, as well as lower sodium snacks with less than 200 calories. - See more at: [losangeles.grubstreet.com]...

CHICAGO – Should parents of extremely obese children lose custody for not controlling their kids' weight? A provocative commentary in one of the nation's most distinguished medical journals argues yes, and its authors are joining a quiet chorus of advocates who say the government should be allowed to intervene in extreme cases. It has happened a few times in the U.S., and the opinion piece in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association says putting children temporarily in foster care is in some cases more ethical than obesity surgery. ~con. Pg.32

Obesity in the United States has been increasingly cited as a major health issue in recent decades. While many industrialized countries have experienced similar increases, obesity rates in the United States are among the highest in the world.[3] The United States has the second highest rate of obesity for large countries, exceeded only by Mexico.[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_in_the_United_States In the latest reports, around 70 percent of Mexicans can be classified as obese. On top of this large rate, childhood obesity has increased three-folds over the past decade. http://youcure.me/en/news/most-obese-countries-2013-american-samoa-mexicounited-states-5548

Just to get the ball rolling I have randomly surfed the web for older answers to some of these questions. I tried to assure each comment was more than a year old and I copied them just as they were printed. Comment on the situation for next month’s issue and perhaps help shed a little perspective on what could be a very touchy subject. .I tried thinking about it came up with some reasons -They want to whiten their genes -Want to have a non-black girlfriend to have as a status symbo -They see their own facial features from their own race as unattractive so they go for another race without those black features. Yahoo Answers.com God Bless the Ottoman Empire☭ 2012 I think because you always hear about black women complaining about how hard it is to get a man. Then you see black men very liberal about dating women who are not black. Some say it is not the rejection of black women, others say it is.

A hat is to a man, as a good pair of shoes is to a woman. Price is no object; style is objective “I don't play about my hats, lol!” As I strolled down a small virtual street in the city of IMVU I came across a name in a window of a small boutique nestled in a cozy corner. “QUEENSARAI’S”: A sweet smell of black mango incense and myrrh pulled me in as I was then treated to a hat bonanza fit for the mad hatter himself. It was like velvet cakes wrapped in smooth creamy trimming, silk fillings and feathered candles, and I was a chubby kid with a sweet tooth.

I could tell at first glance Quality, time, love and thought went into each creation and it was time for me to treat myself to a newfound desert of headwear that could only be created by a QUEEN. Ps. This was only the beginning of my wonderful shopping spree in the land of xXQueenSaraiXx D’Oshai

~con from pg. 29. OBESE

children? For example: Stormy Bradley, daughter Maya, 14, are seen in Atlanta. Maya, who is 5'4 tall and weighs about 200 lbs., is part of an anti-obesity ad campaign in Georgia. In some cases there are medical reasons why a child gains weight and becomes obesity, but in the cases where the parent or parents let their child just eat until they are just falling over with belly pains..... then yes, they should get help. LaZha signing out.

Charles S. Dutton (character from TV show “ROC”) How many kids have to kill each other before we see. There has already been thousands. Thousands of beautiful gifted kids whose lives are over. There will be no future for them no tomorrow all of the great potential is wasted forever. These are our own kids killing each other, our own kids are doing what 300 years of slavery couldn’t do, what the KKk couldn’t do and what all the ugly racism we’ve faced for generations couldn’t do. There threating our spirit and there breaking our hearts and destroying us from within. ROC, 1993 HBO

Roc - Terrence Got His Gun Sadly 20 years later (wow, it’s been 20 years) nothing has changed. I have seen us rise, I have seen us fall. Above all else, I HAVE seen us pulled down. We have to figure out what degree of separation will secure a prominent ground for the teachings of success and then implement the tool from the ground floor. At all turns, one must be aware of the tyrannical illusions of freedom that allows others to presume and react to the worst. If ever there has been a lost tribe, then we are those tribes. Its about time we as a whole start to LOOK for ourselves. D’OSHAI

I am taking a break from teaching until further notice, for those of you that are close to me you know that my mother has been battling breast cancer for a while, now it has gotten progressively worse and has spread rapidly and has gone to her brain. All I ask for is your prayers during this time that myself and my family. I want to thank those that have been and are continually there as a support system, you mean more to me than you know. I don't know how much time my mother has left, we are waiting for test results to some back to see how far the cancer has spread. I thank you all in advance for your understanding and prayers. Sincerely, Sarai

What is life about? In everyday existence what is the fuel that activates us? Are we moved through our passions, desires, wants, or inspiration of another person’s inspiration? I for one often find a lot of my inspiration in inspired people. When I look at the underdog and see him/her flash across the finish line, I am elated, I am filled with happiness and inspired fuel. When I see the kid that everybody made fun of grow out of its ugly duckling stage and swim off successful and as graceful as a swan, its beautiful and heart filling. Nothing is more inspirational then inspiration.

Each morning I awake to the world wide web of sticky turns and spiral information with a cup of coffee in hand. I proceed to check all my news sources to get a feel of how the internet world is feeling at that particular moment, needless to say the absurd, violent, sexual content creates the most buzz (shows you the mind state of the American). My goal is to find the information that could redefine the pattern of life. “The writing is on the Wall”. We are virtually living word for word on every word that WE are writing, in other words the universe answers every letter written. Case in point “the Bible’, and “Atlas Shrugs” (I will just leave it at that for now). Through this column, I hope to bring you light, hope, and perhaps just something refreshing and untainted by the corrupt media and its depictions of everything evil. This morning’s cup of coffee brought me across a video clip from “News Today” which then led me to site called “Miss Amazing”. Miss Amazing is a pageant created to display the lives of young women with disabilities. AS I watched, I laughed, I cried, I was inspired, I saw real beauty, most of all I saw the beauty in the simple task of enjoyment, these folks were having a good time. We spend so much unproductive energy when it is so much easier to enjoy the moments, and that is what I saw, pure enjoyment. I saw families doing what families are supposed to do: LOVING their families unconditionally. D’Oshai

Jordan Somerʼs Creation

My enthusiasm for pageants began at the ripe age of seven years old. It was at this age when pageants became a fun, annual event for me to learn a bit about myself. Because of pageants, I became deeply invested in my future and was taught to plan for that future with self-confidence and unwavering commitment. Overall, pageants taught me that success was not getting first place, but letting myself take control over the person I wanted to become. I first had the wonderful opportunity of working with people with special needs at the Special Olympics. This experience was so extraordinary for me because I saw success everywhere I turned- on the track, the field, and each level of the award platforms. The Special Olympic participants had goals, were striving for self-confidence in their events, and seemed to be 100% committed to performing their very best. I thought it was truly amazing that the participants were able to let their abilities to take center stage so that they could accomplish their goals. This organization was enriching the lives of people with disabilities and I wanted to be a part of the effect. In November of 2007, I used what I knew to contribute to the special needs community- I held the first annual Miss Amazing pageant. What began as my way to share my experiences with girls with disabilities in Nebraska, has become my passion and future career. To date, the Miss Amazing pageant has raised over $50,000 and 750 pounds of food for the Nebraska community. The mission is now spreading nationwide with 11 state pageants being held spring/ summer of 2012. The more communities that are involved, the stronger Miss Amazing Inc. will be because the communities will inspire the organization’s design. The participants, volunteers, friends, family and community leaders will be the ones to shape Miss Amazing Inc. into something that truly highlights the abilities of those with disabilities.

Our hearts go out to the victims and the ones that love them. Though we mourn the loss of lives, we also mourn the loss of answers to the millions of questions floating around the world and our souls. WE must continue to continue for these are not words to fairytales; these are not events of single happenings. Whatever this was these people are gone and can never be forgotten. We must remember our past realize the present and understand what it means for our future. We must be vigilant, alert and in the knowing. XXXXXX

Where are all the video tapes?

What have we lost since? Have people died in an attempt to speak out? Was the aftermath of the scene handled correctly? Was there wreckage on the Pentagon lawn after the impact? Can a 757 pierce 9 feet of reinforced steel and concrete? Why did mainstream media stop showing the original footage of the “planes crashing”. getting mad at the questions and get mad at the answers…

“911 Deception” @ The only war is the war on FREEDOM and thanks to many new laws and legislations that we have freely accepted, congratulations, as BobbleX said, “The plantation will no longer be segregated”. Peace be with us all. For any reporter, journalist, media outlet or individual party that has reported on this story knowing they are trivializing it with covers ups for the sake of the jobs or for sake of their own patriotic agendas, religions, or political parties: “You do your job well and it seems you have truly figured out the ultimate way to break the spirit of your fellow man”. D’oshai (Exert from a poem I read and wanted to share) http://www.loosechange911.com/ We are coming for you. Concerned only with the conscious content of our consciousness, citizens of this country contemplate consciously, constantly cross checking congress, its congregates and candidates, quietly condemning their actions; we will rise. We will Anonymously Occupy, Cooperatively Co-opt to Dream of Truth, of Justice, of Healthy Human RIGHTS. We are marching, making maneuvers to mobilize the masses unmasking the mockery you

made of our purple mountain majesty, of mankind, and of us. We Are Furious. We will no longer sit idly by as you drain the hopes we hold for our future. We are armed, absolutely angry at your attempts to alter our attention to an area outside of anything constructive, progressive or meaningful; back to the television, to the Internet, and to the cell phones that plague the people of this planet. When your system fails, the vail of technology that blinds us will no longer hold us back from our potential to pulverize the percentage that has put us in our place, permanently no longer seems permanent. The impossible seems possible. Korey Rowe

So did you die of history, Each innocent of dogma dead, Purloined to play in some fool's head The drama of his destiny. Even in your hapless herds, Miracles to men unmoved, Being loved as you were loved, Even thus, you were but words. Reason seeks what reason knows. Each alone must bridge the gulf, Loving all as if oneself, Else blood with reason endless flows. Vanquished, you must still live on, Each murdered soul a monument, Nor what you mean be what you meant, The private to the public gone,

Held long as letters carved in stone

From dust and ashes like a Phoenix appearing and disappearing without a sound. From high upon the mountain tops purple majesty, ambers wave and fall on the very flag it calls itself representing. Like hot ice chillin the bone until it incinerates and blows away in the wind. Like a VanHunt song , dust blown away, over the ledge, already insane. Like chaotic organization confusing the masses under the dawns early light “ O, say can you see?” Like the flag waving as if to breathe life back into life it took, shook, misplaced, crushed, murdered, buried, hit, blew, covered, fooled. I keep hearing someone yell, “Its Pearl Harbor all over again, its Vietnam and everybody is still sleeping”. Without a pause, I hear him speak softly, “I would never kill myself, and I would never commit suicide”. What did it mean, who was he talking to and why? Like smoke choking the truth, strangling angles as angels sit idly by with haarps and biblical verses. I can’t help but to ask a million times “When will Atlas Shrug”? When will Revelations reveal it is self in its entire splendor? When will, will will its self into position? Like 3000 souls soulfully singing their own obituaries awaiting your will. Like a voice that cannot longer speak, yet whispers on the air and kisses the ear of emotion separated from reality. Life does NOT go on, not everything will be ok, God will NOT protect you, Man cannot hear you, and Emotions do not mean a thing. Life is not a coincident, religion is not a refuge, and politics have no answers. Buildings fall, we remember, we forget, they continue, we get over it, they do it again, we remember, we forget, we get over it. STOP! REMEMBER EVERYDAY and understand some things are NOT TO BE GOTTON OVER NOR MOVED ON FROM, NOR FORGIVEN. Remember the PEOPLE. Remember NOT to forget!

Never think for one minute that we will ever forget the moment in time that forever changed a generation. We are not all asleep to the fact that life is un-daunting, unforgiving and played by the wealthiest players with the darkest hearts. These are indeed games with cataclysmic ramifications and affect every fiber of our society. Some of us have become tired of being tired, and tired of being murdered. One can only defend himself when he knows his enemy and somehow we have been misled repeatedly. As long as we act as if REAL history never happened, we will allow those that orchestrate these horrid melodies to keep singing. Education is your greatest weapon, the enemy is the one that told you “I will not tolerate conspiracy theorist that try to derail the truth with way out speculation” (or something very close to that effect). I once heard a saying “The best place to hide something is in plain sight”. Peace be with the families and victims of those that seek truth in everything they pursue and in every day that they breath. We all hope that hope will emerge victorious as we face yet another “conspiracy” ridden reality that seem to fatten pockets and break spirits in the process.

Exert from

Swerve/Dbrands pub.

It was an early rainy morning (around 6am) when the shop was finally done and ready to open. I didn't really want to have a grand opening at that time because I was still researching and checking out the competition annnnd supposedly Skunk was somewhere over seas "ordering product", Amsterdam I'm sure. So I just opened up with no promotion just to get a fill for the locals. I charged up my laptop to do a little research, and to my surprise, there were a lot of dispensaries operating in the area, some in compliance with new laws some not so much, most not so much. As a business man I took it upon myself to check around the city and see who was who in the Canna-bizz and what kind of set ups they were operating. Around 8:30am, I splashed through the rain, jumped in and out of my truck running in and out of several shops until around lunchtime (12ish). Fortunately, for J420 none of the competitor’s product was worthy nor close to grade A quality. In fact, some of the places just seem to be family basements illegally fronting as legitimate businesses and glorified slangers coming OCT2013

LITTLE KILLER by: D’Oshai

Tossing and turning entangled in the sheets barely breathing, gasping and coughing up blood as her legs shook and jerked kicking over the breakfast serving tray sitting at the end of her queen size bed, she reached for her cell phone trying to save herself. As her trembling fingers tried to dial all she could do was leave a blood stained fingerprint on the glowing number 9. Unable to scream she gaged on the last gulp of blood filling her mouth and let go of everything she knew. There she was, lying dead in a puddle of who she used to be. Who would find her? Would anyone find her? After all, she was just a pretty little stripper that seem to be slumming in a run-down hotel in a run-down part of a seedy city. Who cared that she was trying to get her life on track and stripping was just a pit stop and school payment plan. Maybe the city would just dump her off in some remote designated part of the city for unclaimed bodies. This was the end of her story. How did it come to this and who did she cross to deserve this?........starting OCT 2013
