We advocate
[1] guns for those who want them, no guns
forced on those who don't want them (pacfists, Quakers etc.)
[2] drugs for those who want them,
no drugs forced on those who don't want them (Christian Scientists etc.)
[3] an end to Tsarism and a return to constitutional democracy
[4] equal rights for ostriches.
To the States or any one of them, or any city of the States:
RESIST MUCH, OBEY LITTLE,
Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved,
Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this Earth,
ever afterward resumes its liberty.
--Walt Whitman
I'm as mad as Hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!

Position Paper #5
The official flag: the Gadsden flag -- the oldest American flag of all
Official motto: "Like what you like, enjoy what you enjoy,
don't be afraid to make slurping sounds,
and don't take crap from anybody"
First order of business on assuming office:
Fire 33% of the Congress [names selected at random]
and replace them with full-grown adult ostritches,
whose mysterious and awesome dignity will
elevate the suidaen barbarity long established there.
Both the pro-gun people and the dopers
[medical, religious and/or receational]
feel like minorities, and the TSOG [Tsarist Occupation Government]
agrees with this estimate of their weakness.
Our contention holds that in the West both groups
working together make a MAJORITY.
Ergo, they have much to gain and nowt to lose in combining forces.
Each side only has to realize this and agree
"We'll tolerate their hobbies if they'll tolerate ours"
and we can drive the Tsarists back to Russia!

THE GUNS AND DOPE PLEDGE
We will never vote for for any candidate
who advocates destroying the second amendment
or the tenth amendment. We will never, never, NEVER
cease or rest in our efforts to abolish Tsarism
and restore constitutional democracy in general
and especially the first amendment.
If you agree with this, why not print a few copies
and send them to "your" representatives in Congress?

GUNS AND DOPE PARTY POSITION PAPER #23
Little Tony was sitting on a park bench munching
on one candy bar after another.
After the 6th candy bar, a man on the bench across from him said,
"Son, you know eating all that candy isn't good for you.
It will give you acne, rot your teeth, and make you fat."
Little Tony replied, "My grandfather lived to be 107 years old."
The man asked, "Did your grandfather eat 6 candy bars at a time?"
Little Tony answered, "No, he minded his own fucking business."

A MAYBE MAP OF THE FUTURE Position Paper 23E
The goal of the Guns and Dope Party --
return to constitutional democracy --
will probably remain unacceptable to many in this country.
Especially in the middle of the continent,
a majority seems to prefer the tyranny of TSOG
and its associated "faith-based organizations."
Thus, Western secession must remain on our agenda,
at least as a distinct "maybe."

In Freetopia we will end all "faith-based" bans on
scientific and medical freedom, including the
verbots against orgonomic medicine, LSD, cloning, stem-cell research etc.
Every citizen will choose the type of health care he or she wants,
just as they did in the old U.S. before the Tsarist take-over.
Every scientist will research whatever she or he finds most interesting.
In short, we will become full members of the "civilized" world again,
and ostriches will have the respect they deserve.
Meanwhile, the Tsarist states will probably
sink deeper and deeper into barbarism,
becoming more and more terrified of a world
that also feels more and more terrified of them --
until like all closed systems they choke
on their own entropy [communication jams] and perish.
Maybe.

This third edition of The Encyclopedia of Struthian Orthodox Iconography provides extensive, detailed entries on the major movements, documents, denominations and bipeds within the Western Struthian tradition. From "Olga the First" to "Tsar Ratite," the thematic entries, presented randomly, provide no doubt that ESOI is thorough, scholarly, and effectively accessed with its numerous index points. Its lists of selected works of art for each theme are especially valuable, as this feature is not offered in some sources, such as Babcock and de Selby. Seven indexes to terms discussed in the entries ensure that the user will find references to the subject being sought. An Index of Ancient Mythological and Historical Personages, Places, and Concepts, and an Index of Palaeognathic Personages, Places, and Concepts help the user who is interested in a particular place or the narratives of particular characters, but isn't sure how themes relating to them are categorized. These are followed by an Index of References to the Struthiondicus and Other Sacred Books; an Index of Other Cultures, Religions, and Mythologies; an alphabetical Index of Artists and Works of Art; and an Index of Authors, Literary Texts, Composers, Filmmakers, and Folktales, which includes references from classical to contemporary, including Aesop, Benjamin Franklin, the movie Southern Star, and Walt Disney. A final Index of Other Names and Terms includes topics that appear in the essays but are not themselves mythological, religious, or literary, such as brothels, dogs, and puzzles.

POSITION ON PROSTITUTION
"If fucking is legal,
and selling is legal, then
selling fucking should be legal."
-- paraphrased from the philosopher Carlin

Also sprach RAW:
If I announce [as I've considered] that God supports the Guns and Dope Party,
how many of you will consider that claim
1.schizo or delusional
2. genuine Divine intervention
3. a con game
4. a hoax, satire, jape etc.
How do you rank the similar claims of Dubya, Jerry Falwell, Son of Sam,
the Tsars of Russia, the Tsars of USA, Osama bin Laden, the popes of Rome etc?
Anyway, God has personally endorsed the GUNS AND DOPE PARTY and cursed Tsardom.
He told me so, speaking through an ostrich named Olga
who co-starred with Orson Welles in a thriller called Southern Star.
Olga spoke in Orson's most sonorous and resonant voice,
the one he used for Father Mapple in Moby Dick.
Orson, in another second-rate villain role, spoke in a lispy, sqeeaky, very Gay, upper-class
English voice, which made the character, a bandit chief, a lot more interesting.
At the climax, Olga said, looking right at the camera,
"I am the Lord God. Do you believe that?"
I giggled and said, "No...I think I just took too much pain medicine..."
"Good," said Olga/Orson/Father Mapple.
"I'm sick and tired of gullible fools like Dubya and Son of Sam.
Just keep an open mind, old chum, and watch me rear back
and work some Miracles for the Guns and Dope Party!
Damn those pesky Tsarists!
By the way, don't forget your promise to include 33% ostriches in your government."
Those other guys are just jealous because the Voices
don't speak to them and they have to fake it!

"Governments lie."
--I.F. Stone
Question: Terrence McKenna saw wild stuff happening between now and December 21, 2012 C.E. How do you think Californians can best prepare themselves to live long and prosper in the crazy days ahead?
RAW Answer: They should all buy [b,u,y, BUY, not rent] the video or DVD of SOUTHERN STAR, a comedy starring Orson Welles as a Gay banditto and Olga, an ostrich, as a diamond thief. At certain points, if you've taken your pain medicine for the day, Olga speaks directly to the audience -- to YOU -- and her words always contain both pragmatic and mystic wisdom.
For instance, once I asked her how to contribute most to the coming unity of all critterkind, instillling respect for "all life however small" as it says in the Upanishads, and she suggested appointing ostriches as 1/3 of the legislature. Of course, some left-wing aardvarks have complained about this [they call it "bipedal chauvinism"] but I trust Olga.
Most humans haven't gotten to the level of realizing the personhood of other races yet, you know. Bipedalism represents a great leap forward toward universal critterkind, and you have to take these things one step at a time.The six-legged majority still inspire fear and loathing in backward societies.
If Olga doesn't talk to you, you need more pain medicine, and frankly I don't understand how you've survived three years of George W Bush without it. Maybe you should try the Bible or the Koran or Chinese fortune cookies.

Question: Would Guns and Dope attempt to eliminate all taxes ?
Answer: We'd follow Lysander Spooner's voluntary tax plan combined with the lightspeed of Internet. Every citizen would receive a semi-annual Republic budget, telling what the Republic of Freetopia wanted to do for them or to them, and each would send in their share of the fee for whatever projects seemed sensible and useful to them. Nobody would pay a penny for anything that seemed pointless,useless, invasive,tyrannical or even annoying to them. If nobody paid for a project, it would get dumped for lack of funding.
As Spooner wrote earlier: "Constitutions are utterly worthless to restrain the tyranny of governments, unless it be understood that the people will by force compell the government to remain within constitutional limits. Practically speaking, no government knows any limits to its power except the endurance of the people."
Voluntary taxation expresses the endurance of the people directly and immediately, "before the horse gets out of the stable."
A GOVERNMENT WHICH TAKES YOUR MONEY BY FORCE
LIKE A COMMON THIEF
WILL USE THIS STOLEN MONEY TO FURTHER ENSLAVE YOU
AND TO PREVENT ANY REBELLION ON YOUR PART
--Olga Struthio

GOD AND TSARDOM
Tsarism represents an intermediate form between European monarchism and Asian despotism, being, possibly, closer to the latter of these two.
-- Leon Trotsky, Russia's Social Development and Tsarism
The Guns & Dope Party primarily wants to abolish Tsarism and restore constitutional democracy in the California Republic. If our example inspires the other 49 states, so much the better.
Why do we oppose Tsarism? How does the U.S. drug Tsar function?
Allegedly, this omniscient official knows what drugs, herbs, compounds etc. you should use for your medical problems better than your doctor knows!!!!!!
Even more magically, the Tsar knows this without doing any physical examination of you, blood pressure readings, other scientific tests etc. that your doctor does, and often from a distance of 3000 miles -- and the Tsar does it without even looking at you.
The Tsar doesn't even know if you have hangnail or cancer, AIDS or flu, belong to the senior set or haven't even reached voting age yet. He can't even classify you as male, female or undecided.
In short, the Tsar knows nothing about you or your medical problems, by ordinary data, but he still know more about your medical care than your doctor knows, by some supernatural means unknown to mere mortals.
This makes sense if and only if we have a devout faith that our Tsar, like the Russian Tsars of olde, receives guidance directly from "God." No other, less spooky explanation fits the claims made by Tsardom.
The government accordingly spends more and more of our tax money financing "faith-based organizations." Without faith we might relapse into scientific or rational thinking, which leads by a slippery slope toward constitutional democracy. |
For more than six hundred years -- that is, since Magna Carta, in 1215 -- there has been no clearer principle of English or American constitutional law, than that, in criminal cases, it is not only the right and duty of juries to judge what are the facts, what is the law, and what was the moral intent of the accused; but that it is also their right, and their primary and paramount duty, to judge the justice of the law, and to hold all laws invalid, that are, in their opinion, unjust or oppressive, and all persons guiltless in violating, or resisting the execution of, such law.
--Lysander Spooner, The Right of Juries
If the jury feels the law is unjust, we recognize the undisputed power of the jury to acquit, even if its verdict is contrary to the law as given by a judge, and contrary to the evidence.
-- 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, US v Moylan, 1969
Every jury in the land is tampered with and falsely instructed by the judge when it is told that it must accept as the law that which has been given to them, or that they can decide only the facts of the case.
-- Lord Denham, O'Connell v Rex (1884)
The jury has the power to bring in a verdict in the teeth of both the law and the facts.
-- Justice Holmes, Homing v District of Columbia, 138 (1920)
If a juror accepts as the law that which the judge states then that juror has accepted the exercize of absolute authority of a government employee and has surrendered a power and a right that once was the citizen's safeguard of liberty.
-- Bancroft, History of the Constitution
When a jury acquits a defendent even though he or she clearly appears to be guilty, the acquittal conveys significant information about community attitudes and provides a guideline for future prosecutorial discretion...Because of the high acquittal rate in prohibition cases in the 1920s and early 1930s, prohibition laws could not be enforced. The repeal of these laws is traceable to the refusal of juries to convict those accused of alcohol traffic.
-- Sheflin and Van Dyke, "Law and Contemorary Problems," 43, No. 4, 1980
It is not only the juror's right, but his duty, to find the verdict according to his own best understanding, judgement and conscience,though in direct opposition to the directions of the court.
-- John Adams
Do not annoy people at home.
Do not pester them at work.
Leave them alone, or they will curse you.
--Lao-Tsu |

Olga, Spiritual advisor of The Guns & Dope Party
WHY OLGA REMAINS ESSENTIAL
Olga remains essential to the serious, scientific and
sincerely surrealist aspects of the Guns and Dope Party.
Personal liberty, scientific and medical freedom,
the rights of Imagination: all these appear dead or dying under the
tyranny of Tsarism, and we all need to fight back
"by any means necessary."
After all, this may become the last -- the very last -- battle
for individual rights in this moribund Republic,
before rampant medievalism closes down the democratic age.
NONETHELESS, we all need Olga also. Without her, we
might take ourselves -- and featherless biped politics
in general -- too damned seriously, following
the usual "slippery slope" downward from Ideology
to Idiocy. We need the perspectives of our feathered
cousins, no matter how weird they may sound at times.
Thus, while we stand beside the NRA in strict
adherence to the second amendment,
we oppose what Jimmy Breslin called "poor usage of a revolver."
We also oppose poor usage of napalm, bazookas, shrapnel,
automatic rifles, nukes, etc. Common
Errors in Usage of all of these seem rampant in the Tsarist
States, not only by the Goober government there,
but increasingly by the baffled and maddened citizens,
which explains why we feel secession may become necessary.
As the philosopher Claud William Dunkenfield [1889-1945] noted,
"Sooner or later we must take the bull by the tail
and look the facts in the face."

WHEN A GOVERNMENT FIRST TAKES YOUR MONEY BY FORCE
AND THEN DISARMS YOU,
IT DOES NOT HAVE YOUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART
