Firstly, thanks to all those flickr friends that have emailed me their support after seeing the stolen photos and their manipulation by my stalker. It's very much appreciated.Here are the pictures in question:
From our Xmas party in Las Vegas last year. Every year for the last five years our company has paid for us to fly to Vegas and put us up in a swish hotel. Yes, we earned our right to be in this country. What did YOU ever do for it?Each of us came here with very little and through hard work and diligence have done very well. We've each dated a lot of women and we're each now married to highly educated American girls.But that doesn't mean you have to be an asshole in life. I'm happy to pay more tax to give those less privileged than myself a better way of life. Let's have a national health service for a start.
From 1986 (I think) Bad dye job. It was the eighties, we grew our hair long and dyed it. We played in bands and had fun.
Another bad haircut and stupid tie-dyed shirts. We weren't that great as a band, but my bass playing was fantastic and still is. I was a student of Geddy Lee and Mike Rutherford, two of the best bass players who ever lived, IMHO.
Amsterdam 1990 - what a fucking great holiday!
l
1985 or 1986. This is the picture of me that all the girlies really love. I still have the guitar - it's almost twenty-five years since I bought it. It's seen a lot of service on stage and in the studio and it's been played by talents far greater than my own.
I am a professional artist, musician, and voice over artist. I even get to take pictures for my job. Oh and I write. And I get paid for it. Wow, what a lucky man. Our last photo assigment involved taking pictures of rock stars and their guitars, but you won' t get to see any of those before our latest title is out in the shops, otherwise I'd be giving the game away.
I'm a broad-minded free-thinker; I champion the underprivileged, progressive politics and the welfare of all decent caring honest human beings everywhere.
I rail against injustice, lies and corruption and I try to make the world a better place each and every day.
If that involves confronting liars, fascists and small-minded bigots, then so be it.
All that counts in this world is being faithful to yourself. Once you give in and let others dictate their hypocrisy, lies and hate, and you become a disciple of delusion, you're no more than a puppet.
I preach tolerance, kindness and understanding...apart from when I'm dealing with right-wing fucking liars. There's no other way of dealing with them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A couple of weeks ago I travelled to a different and scary dark side of flickr.com. A world where up is down, left is right, and day is night. I'm talking about the world of climate-change denial, of people still clinging on to the notion that Bush is a good president (hilarious and terrifying at the same time) and that the Iraq debacle is justified.
Delusional indeed.
A world where people are so gullible and malleable that they have been manipulated into believing just about every possible right-wing cliche imaginable, and probably many that are unimaginable.

I had deleted a big chunk of my profile after being told by Yahoo that the thieving criminal liar had taken the pictures off of the offending/offensive page, but then I read a BLATANT lie that he posted on the page telling people that I had been ordered by flickr to change my 'slanderous' (hardly - since when is truth slander?) profile...
THEN I got an email today from flickr - let's see it shall we?

Interesting that I was supposed to be the slanderer, given that I didn't make anything up about big bully Len's pictures. But of course he's no stranger to hypocrisy and lies. I think the standards that have been set by the current administration have given people like Len to think that if you say something often enough and loud enough, then it's just 'true'.
Here's the comment from my own personal stalker/bully, caught out in a very big lie. Tut tut, Len 'the bully' Roe, distorting the 'facts' to suit yourself once more, you pathetic waste of skin.
"You see how creepy he got, and how fast he got there.
"This man is (in my opinion) probably a dangerous psychotic. His rage and hatred rivals our enemies in Iraq. Anyway, I thought you all would find that interesting..."
And there's more bile in that vein from, guess who? Yes, Bully Len. The funny thing is, he's just repeating back what I said about he and his ilk, sheeplike as they are, bleating their same old garbage continually, incapable of original thought. I swear they just churn these fuckers out in a factory and stick a microchip in the backs of their heads. They're just clones of one another.
Damned right I'm angry - angry with all of those complicit in making this world much worse than it needs to be. That's the difference - free-thinking progressives want to make a better world, no matter how good or bad the world already is. Right-wingers want to drag everyone down in to a mire of greed, selfishness and ignorance.
Look around at the society and culture of much of our world.
When 'Big Brother' and "American Idol' and talentless so-called 'celebrities' like Paris talentless Hilton and Anna even less talent Nicole no talent Smith are the headline news stories above all the other awful stuff that's happening on the planet (Sudan , Iraq, the Bush maladministration etc etc) , there's something terribly wrong.
When the typical attitude that you see is 'fuck you, I look after number one and screw everyone else', there's something wrong.
When people are duped into buying armoured vehicles to take their kids to school in, there's something wrong.
When people are point-blank refusing to believe the scientific evidence from the majority of the world's climate scientists and dragging figures from conservative Christian web sites to illustrate their er...'point'...then there's something deeply wrong.
When the overwhelming prrof of evolution is everywhere, and people are pretending that they actually believe everything is made by a giant invisible magic wizard...then there's little or no hope for humankind.
So Len labels ordinary decent people trying to make a decent honest living and who actually care about the world as 'Stalinists' because they dare to take a stand against small-mindedness - brilliant!
That shows just how far over the edge these people are, and the saaaad thing is they don't even realise it. I guess they live with people who think the same reptilian little thoughts as they and filter out anything 'liberal' ( i.e.being a decent caring honest selfless thinking human being) in favour of doing exactly what they're told by neo cons (i.e. spreading disinformation and hating anyone who isn't an extreme right-wing-borderline fascist).
Try reading some books, cocksnot. Fewer hours in front of Fox News and more time talking to people from all over the world, and perhaps travelling outside of your home town occasionally might broaden your narrow little horizon a bit. Oh, and put down the guns. There must be something else you can play with.
The same goes for all brainwashed right-wing dirt out there.
We can make a better world if only you start thinking for yourselves and about someone other than yourselves in a positive way, just for a change. What can you do for other people?
Stop hating. Start loving.
Start thinking.
These people are so dim that they couldn't even grasp the concept that if everyone starts turning lights off it will massively reduce the drain of natural resources. Even that simple small thing is beyond them. As you'd expect from conservatives, it's the narrow view, the short-sighted view. There's never a grasp of the interconnectedness of things, that there's a long term position.
Of course a lot of them believe in 'The Rapture', so they don't care about fucking up the planet. In fact they actively encourage it. That's the truth of the matter. Why bother looking after the planet if you've been chosen to be sucked up into space and hang out with the giant invisible wizard?
So, from a few days ago, here it is again:
I have my own personal stalker now! It's a bit scary. And he's far-right gun nut with a fascination with Nazism.
http://www.flickr.com/people/47967505@N00/
He stole pictures of me (I see he's now rather gutlessly deleted them) and posted them on his own flickr pages so that he could post them in this page in order to make some weird point based on nothing, rather than posting links to them so people could see them in their original form.
I'm British, so naturally I tend to be self deprecating. It's a low-key, dry and ironic sense of humour.
Len Roe is a Yank, and although I know many that seem to 'get it' (the better educated and generally more well travelled ones), most do not. Len's a classic example.
Evidently he was up all night scouring my pictures for something he could use to abuse me. Well my pictures are there for the purpose of entertainment and humour and blogging. I wouldn't have minded quite so much if he had posted the pictures so that people could link to them in context. But no, in typical right-wing gun-nut obsessive "I'm the next Cho" fashion, he's used them to further his own rather sad agenda.
I initially happened upon the picture on that page by accident. The association made by guess what? - another lame right wing gun freak - between a starving polar bear and the abortion debate was tenuous and freakishly implausible (the extreme disturbed right-wing mind at work) and I felt I had to comment.
Essentially I got into a rather stupid debate - you might as well smash yourself in the face with a hammer - talking to these blind fools is about as productive. This guy made it personal for no good reason, and then started making ignorant comments on my pictures, so naturally I blocked him.
Anyway you'll find every single far right cliche you can imagine - gun-obsessed, climate-change denying, racist, homophobic, 'hippy' (whatever that is)-hating, small-minded, bigoted, poorly educated, 'liberal'-hating, anti-semite,and son and son ad nauseum, on the page I linked to this
These illiterates keep posting 'evidence' from far right conservative 'research' that contradicts what they consider 'liberal' science. It's neither liberal or otherwise, it's just fact. For years it was a small voice crying out about the abuse of the planet by people like..well like NYCtreeman I suppose...and now the tide has turned and the far right and big business don't like it. Oh dear, it might cut into profits. Big deal DO something - clean up your act.
And be warned, there's some rather strong language in the comments, not least from me.
I've blocked right-wing dickwads from commenting on my flickr pictures - if I want to read or hear bigoted govenment controlled propoganda I can tune into Fox or any number of tenth rate so-called 'news' agencies.
Newsflash - I've had another three phone calls with people saying things really quickly and then putting the phone down. It sounds like swearing, but I guess they're scared they're going to be 'traced' or something, as if I have that kind of technology.
Nothing to do with Len Roe posting my peronal information on the internet then...
I love fluffy bunnies and tiny babies and unborn foetuses (foetii..?) and whiskers on kittens and little angels and the wee baby Jimmy Jesus, and his older brother the big Jesus H. Christ, and kittens and puppies and Hallmark cards and everyone in the world.
But not fascists. I fucking hate right-wing loons.
