OFG VS The Man!

Bob Horning knew his quote was going to be relevant when he gave it to me.

Our freedom to gather, express ourselves, celebrate life the way we wish to celebrate it is a freedom that we must always be mindful that others, be it government or those who portray to know what's best, would like to take away under the guise of protecting us.

At this moment some type of government agency is building it's own seed camp adjacent to ours. They have been asking the neighbors around the property (many miles in each direction) questions about us. Some type of law enforcement stopped and harassed the driver of the tractor we're using to clear the land.

I have activated three alternate locations for the event and prep crews have been sent to those sites as well. Congratulations folks, the map point now has a purpose.

I have a team of lawyers on standby ready to deal with this problem.

IGNORE ALL RUMORS OF CANCELLATION!

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will I allow this event to be hampered by those who wish to keep us divided.

Please allow me to be blunt. We live in a modern day Nazi Germany. The children and grandchildren of the same twisted bastards that financed that war have devoured the United States government, gutted it's constitution, and shit upon it's bill of rights.

We cannot allow this to continue. The tool that they use against us is DIVISION.

Divide and Conquer, the first philosophy of a tyrant.

We MUST come together as one, we MUST set aside our differences and find our common ground, we MUST gather without restriction and we MUST listen to the uncensored consciousness of each other.

The reason the fools gather to thwart us already is because we ARE a threat.

We have over 100 artists ready to express their thoughts for seventy-two hours solid on two completely uncensored stages. Just imagine the viewpoints that could me expressed, the visions that could be shared, and the revolution of consciousness that could be triggered.

We have no corporate sponsors, no restrictive permits, no unnecessary controls. As executive producer of this event I answer to no-one. I have personally earned or borrowed every last cent that operates the festival and there is no kill switch. I will not call this festival off UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

We have created an UNSTOPPABLE FORCE with which we will change the status quo forever.

All though it is extreme I encourage you all to adopt my belief system in this regard. It is time for revolution and music is our weapon. It is time to use the force we have gathered to coerce the population of the United States to take a better path. We start with Christmas Valley.

Come one, come all; veterans and protesters, hippies and punks, cats and dogs, Christians and Muslims. We must make clear to those who wish to rule over us (much as a stepmother rules over an unwanted child) that we don't need them, we can take care of ourselves, and in fact the can "Fuck; right the fuck on off".

Call your friends, let them know; after the first 5000 people pay to get in;

I'm making it a free party!

One last note to those who wish to stop us (I know you're reading):

Go ahead, shoot me like MLK, frame me like Allen Lindt, throw a bag over my head and haul me to Guantanamo Bay like the terrorist your unconstitutional laws suggest I am. You won't be able to stop us. Ten more will take my place. The reason this event has become a noticeable threat to you is simply because it is a sign that change is coming. The people WILL gather UNITED regardless of the fear and violence you hinge your strength on.

Your time is running out, use your power wisely while it lasts.


DO YOUR PART FOR REVOLUTION REPOST THIS AND BULK MAIL IT TO YOUR FRIENDS.
If you don't... um... 30 more years of bad luck for everyone on earth.
