THE NEW YORK TIMES IS COVERING HOW THE CONSERVATIVES ARE BLAMING ANTIFA FOR WEARING DISGUISES – WHAT ARE THE CONSERVATIVES, TEN.

TIM BARRUS IN THE NEW YORK TIMES.

Appalachia has many rusted railroad briges built around 1900. They are still in use. American infrastructure is broken and fragile. We are famous for not taking care of things. When driving my motorcycle, I have to be very careful about speed and ruts and pot holes and glass and junk people throw from cars. What you hear on a bike is vastly different from what you hear on a motorcycle. I am not sure that carmakers did us any favors designing vehicles that are so air-tight, what you hear inside the car is silence. I once found a black lab puppy not yet a week old who had been thrown out a window and the puppy was crying from the ditch. I called him Highway Harry and found him a home. Silence equals death and always has. I am with Antifa. Once again, the Great, Grinding, Lie Machine grabs the bullhorn, running back and forth in a frenzy, screaming “it’s their fault, it’s their fault, they did it, and they wore disguises.” Sounds like a whining Russian Proletariat Plot to infiltrate the corrupt Moscow Housing Committee with corrupt secret spies. Who cares. Trump told a lie to the Little Girls Treehouse Club. Oh, my. Oh, my. It’s news. I go to riots filled with sound and fury. Life and its walking shadows struts and frets in front of a police line that makes no bones about it – they would kill us but there are too many cameras on the stage. Antifa simply wants to oppose fascism. Conservatives can’t market that so they turn to the Great Grinding Lie Machine with its bullhorn and thousand flags. Someone else did it. They wore disguises. I did wear a motorcycle helmet. Because I drove a motorcycle. I took a 16-year-old with me so he could see and feel and hear and taste summer’s unrest. So he might know that cops murdering people is wrong. So he might know that no one in America cares and it is wrong. So he can understand that the pouring of humanity into streets is exactly that. In the end, it doesn’t mean anything. I want him to be aware of the powerlessness. He is now with Antifa, too. We are being followed. It’s not paranoia. We now carry burner phones. I threw my camera away into a river to get rid of my photographs. They were all the same anyway. Much like cops and the soldiers who would kill us. I threw the camera into the river from a rusted bridge.
