Nothing is sweeter than Shakar

9/11 isn’t about human beings dying. the reason why the government shoves it in our face every single year and tells us to care is because of what they want it to represent, which is an attack on “america”, and they want to use that to justify wholesale slaughter of innocents overseas and perpetual imperial empire. 9/11 is a quasi-fascist myth about national trauma.

and now we live in a pandemic, where the same number of people who died on 9/11 die every single day because of the negligence and greed of the very same government who tells us to cry about it, and there is no reconciliation. no attempt made to explain this. there is an active movement to downplay it or to redirect blame to china, once again fueling our imperial ambitions.

A new bill proposed in the Minnesota Legislature would make anyone convicted of a crime at a protest ineligible for student loans and many other forms of state financial aid.

The bill, authored by Sen. David Osmek (R- Mound), states that “A person convicted of a criminal offense related to the person’s illegal conduct at a protest, demonstration, rally, civil unrest, or march is ineligible for any type of state loan, grant, or assistance, including but not limited to college student loans and grants …”

Other forms of state financial aid, including food stamps, rent assistance and unemployment benefits, are also in the bill.

Some University of Minnesota students are currently awaiting their court date after being arrested for protesting on highway I-94 last November.

Thousands of college students from several universities across the Twin Cities have participated in protests against police brutality, following the police killing of George Floyd in May 2020. Those protests have not lost much momentum over the past year, and key messages have included issues ranging from police brutality to climate change and voting rights.

Vishapakar ‘Վիշապաքար’ on Mount Aragats

Vishapakars are dotted all across Armenia and the name translates to Dragon stone. It is the Armenian name for the Menhir which are also found in Scottland, Ireland, France, England and other European countries. Mostly where there has been a Celtic presence.

They are also spread across the historical provinces of Armenia such as Javakhk, Tayk, Taron, Van and so forth. the Vishapakars are tall cigar shaped megaliths and can usualy be found high on mountains near rivers and lakes, Said to be a warning to travels of the dragons that may be lurking nearby the water. The oldest of these type of Vishapakars are from around second millennium BC and give an incredible insight of the Armenian prehistoric tribes. Many of them are carved as a fish although having a bulls head and feet carved into them, sometimes there is a stream of water flowing from the bulls mouth.
