Blag at his day job^

Michael Dean with snowball and 9mm

Short interview in the middle of an hour-long good show, Blag Dahlia from the Dwarves interviews Michael W. Dean about Guns and Weed, on the podcast/radio show RADIO AS YOU LIKE IT.

Description: Michael and Blag are equally stunned and entertained while discussing the immorality of the War on Drugs and the War on Guns examined in director MICHAEL DEAN’s latest documentary GUNS AND WEED: THE ROAD TO FREEDOM +++plus+++ new music from MURDER CITY DEVILS, CEREMONY and GET DEAD – LOCK, TOKE n’ LISTEN!!!!

Get the MP3 of the interview HERE.

Interview proper starts about 16 minutes in. We talk a lot about anarchy vs. statism, liberty, drugs, 80s punk rock, jello biafra, dead kennedys, The Dwarves, guns, weed, and growing old with grace. Blag plays a bunch of violent songs that have nothing to do with me or my ideals, and asks me some rote questions about liberty that I get asked every time a non-libertarian questions me about my beliefs.

I think he actually did ask me “But who would take care of the roads?”, but then didn’t use that part.

All in all, a fun time was had by all, and I really like Blag. And I’ll turn him into an anarchist yet.

–Michael W. Dean

My best friend and partner in thought-crime, Neema Vedadi, made me about the coolest Christmas present ever. A Freedom Feens 2012 calender. It’s awesome. And no we aren’t selling them. We’re going to make you wait a year and sell them starting 2013 Freedom Feens calenders next fall.

I love this thing and am really touched by it. He sent me two of them, one for me, one for DJ.

He even made up new holidays on it, like Presidents Day is now “Think about the crimes of the Executive Branch” day. And the 4th of July is now “People fed up with government decide the answer is government” day.

LYRICS:

WE WILL NOT DISARM
Neema V. and Right Arm of Wyoming
(CHORUS):
WE WILL NOT DISARM!
WE WILL NOT CONFORM!
WE WILL NOT LIE DOWN!
WE’LL RIDE OUT YOUR STORM!

YOU’RE STEALING
(but y’all call it “taxes”)
YOU’RE CHEATING
(some major infractions)
YOU’RE PLAYING FAST AND LOOSE
(Like Napolitano’s cooch)
YOU’RE LYING
(but y’all call it “public school”)
WE’RE DYING
(We’re fodder for your lunchables)
YOU’RE FUCKING WITH THE TRUTH!
(and you know we got the proof!)

To disarm us is immoral
My quarrel is with FORCE.
Not a squirrel I’m a man
I’m gonna make my own course.

Governments are involuntary-
they carry but say we can’t.
Try to keep us wary,
acting like they’re the queen ant.

Fuck that!
This ain’t no hive mind.
Boy it’s high time
that being a politician was seen
as a high crime.

And selling whatever you wanna sell
should be just fine.
Trading – making both folks happy.
I’m rapping so I can sell the truth.

Nobody’s bulletproof so
you better keep your gat intact
Owning a gun’s not at all violent.
In fact more violence comes from the
So-called “social contract.”

That shit’s so wack
Like letting the Man steal half
your stack.
You’re getting jacked.

If I want a bowl packed
or to smoke a whole pack
Only I control that.
So tell the state to hold back.

Governments bring only danger.
They got drones, goons and rangers.
But I’m so hard bitch, I carry TWO in the chamber.

(CHORUS):
WE WILL NOT DISARM!
WE WILL NOT CONFORM!
WE WILL NOT LIE DOWN!
WE’LL RIDE OUT YOUR STORM!

YOU’RE STEALING
(but y’all call it “taxes”)
YOU’RE CHEATING
(some major infractions)
YOU’RE PLAYING FAST AND LOOSE
(Like Napolitano’s cooch)
YOU’RE LYING
(but y’all call it “public school”)
WE’RE DYING
(We’re fodder for your lunchables)
YOU’RE FUCKING WITH THE TRUTH!
(and you know we got the proof!)

Freedom’s ONE piece.
It’s both guns, weed… and anything you feel you need
just as long as you don’t
TAKE it, STEAL it or FAKE it.

You know I’m Persian
but no frontin’, if this were the 300
I’d be startin’ for the Spartans and
I’d fight ’til I’m departed.

If you wanna steal my stuff
Go ahead and do your fucking worst.
I’ll no longer need my bullets so I’ll
give ‘em to you first.

FREEDOM OF INGESTION

Hello freedom fiends!
It’s your boy, Neem
from the US, get the US
out my bloodstream!

I own me and that
includes endorphins.
No, I won’t ask permission
and I won’t say please!

Freedom fans, one fact
that I gotta make clear is:
If you ain’t about your heater
than you’re nothing but a THEORIST!

You can read and type,
but when the jackers coming
I know you’ll lose the fight
on your ass with your thumb in!

Senatorial page: Good morning Senator! Here’s your coffee!
Senator: Thanks, I’ll need it. I have so many laws
to write before November.
Senatorial page: I’m so excited!
Senator: You should be. A slim majority lets me tell EVERYONE
what to do.

Freedom of ingestion!
It’s more than a suggestion!
And though it ain’t a question
but those hos just keep oppressing.
And so we teaching lessons
for those with chiefin sessions
and those with Smith & Wessons
Freedom
is
possession!

=======-

BAN BANNING
At one store I get a Hi-Point 9-milly,
papers for my joint and a pack of Phillies.
Yes I’m feeling very honored.
But if the world were truly free I could also
buy my marijuana.
They despise the very thought of.

In fact, take a look at this:
Tookmasak! (Persian cuss word, means dog spit ) Tax my cigarettes
and my trans-fatty acid.
Only tape I see is red.

Fed goons are kitten stompin’
and this shit is poppin’
They’ll shoot your dog man,
With a pussy .223.

Battle rifles stop your ass indeed!
Sergeant Ban Banning needs
to give an ass tanning
to the tax-taxing
fact-slashing
ass-gashing
cash-grabbing
folks from San Francisco
they can eat a bag of dicks, ho!

California Über Alles!
Dictating from the palace!
We got way bigger problems now
and banning’s what caused ‘em.

When the Schumer hits the fan
I’ll be surviving with my band
with more AK ammo than all Afghanistan!

Banning should be banned!
(Call Sergeant Ban Banning!)
Central Planning should be panned!
(Call Sergeant Ban Banning!)
We’re fed up with the man!
(Call Sergeant Ban Banning!)
This whole system is a sham!
(Call Sergeant Ban Banning!) (2X)

======-
DUELING (Don’t Try This at Home!)

Regulations are some fake laws
Stealin’ and killin’ are the real crimes
But flippin’ dimes will get you real time.
It’s a pity that the they skew the difference.

Schools ain’t cures,
for sure
they always work against us!

I’m cool with you dueling
much more cool than
public schooling.
To duel is voluntary,
school’s a part-time prison.
Unlike a duel,
school is not your decision

BREAK!

You know what else isn’t?
RAPE!
========-

I OWN ME
(song in the end credits)

It’s gettin’ thicker than dreadlocks
they treat us like we’re Dread Scott
don’t wanna see the feds pop
or be the one that they’d stopped
or get in trouble cause I talked shit to their mascot
frickin’ busybodies need to go and buy an ascot
tellin’ me you own me then makin sho’ i’m taxed out
maxed out, deep in-debted from the easy credit
that the fed imbedded then they betted it all be copacetic
if they were the medic but forget it
the people are gettin’ pissed
blowin up like some unleaded
they want control unfettered
but ya’ll know that smells fetid
like the craphole that we’re headed
to if they don’t let me do me
and you do you
and all the guns in the gunverment
won’t amount to a .22
if they keep on stompin’ on amendment number two
and we don’t even need you
take your welfare and your brainwashing free-school
and ya’ll are so see through; easy to see you is evil

chorus:
Nobody owns me
ya’ll haters don’t
I own me
so back the fuck off
(x 2)
I make my own rules
take my own tools
you ain’t in my shoes
no you ain’t get to choose
I ain’t pay you dues.
I pay ‘em for my self
don’t expect shit from me
and I ain’t need your help

and in case you didn’t know
this song is for the parasites
the feeders that bleed us and treat us
like they’re the hand and we’re the dice
no utopian paradise to be had from any plan
the world’s too complex for any man to comprehend
all the supply and again all the demand
when the few control the view
their mistakes are multiplied
the decisions should be ours
like our bodies. Let’s take back our lives
Only a slave if you submit
and ya’ll know I got some fight!
and this ain’t racist
its for blacks, whites and asians
middle eastern people, latinos
and everyone who wants to be free, so
we’ll even let it slide if you’re emo
I never signed no social contract
I’m about to have to repo
myself, for my health
and my wealth
put your bills back on the shelf
capitol hill can go to hell
we should put them punks in jail
we could live our lives ourselves….

chorus
So who’s to say Barack Hussein
knows what’s best for me?
I knock the man and not the name
cause in my family tree
could be husseins so I take aim
at tyranny times three
branches that act just
like geriatric babysitters
poonannies.
but really you’ll get beat-up
if you don’t follow their edicts
there’s a law against living
yeah its worse than shariah.
but where can I go if this
whole world is socialist
though we know that it failed for the soviets.
Its 1984 people please notice this.
Fuck a tax feeder time to overthrow them tics
its in the declaration Jefferson wrote the shit
So choose to be a free man
governments we’re over it
governments we’re over it!

THE DRUG WAR IS TERRORISM [ 1 h 33 min 05 s | 85.29 MB ] | Download

Ever week I do a new episode of the Freedom Feens podcast with my friend Neema Vedadi. We live in different states, so we record as a double-ender podcast to keep the audio quality extraordinarily high. That is, we talk over the phone, but don’t record the phone call. Neema records his end with a microphone in front of his mouth, and I record my end with a Zoom H2 “Studio on a stick” in front of my mouth, then he sends me his files and I sew them together and edit them before uploading.

Since we’re doing this weekly and plan to be doing it forever, or until one of us gets droned, I was looking for an alternative mic stand. I used to record by setting up a stand every week, like this:

but the stand was clunky, got in my way if I got up to take a break, and moreover, I tended to stub my toe on it during the week when not podcasting. It’s clunky and my choice was to either take it down to the basement when not using it, or put it in the corner for more convenience. I chose the later.

I solved this problem with an inexpensive gooseneck table top microphone mount.

I bought the 19″ gooseneck on Amazon HERE (price, $4.39),

and bought the small screw-in table mount on Amazon, HERE (price $3.95).

I used a power drill to drill three tiny guide holes into the table next to my main work table, then used the power drill with a screwdriver bit to permanently affix the mount to the table.

I screwed the gooseneck into the table mount, then screwed a microphone shock mount at the top. I stuffed some egg create packing foam inside it so the Zoom H2 handle fits snugly. (This mount will also work fine with a microphone, but I use the all-in-one Zoom H2 myself.)

The end result is a permanently mounted gooseneck microphone stand in your work area.

(I have this second table to my left so I can keep all my clutter on it and keep the table with my monitor and keyboard clear. You could mount the gooseneck stand to your main table, but I recommend against it. Having a second table to attach the mic to is good, because even with the shock mount, a sensitive mic will pick up noise if you bump the table, and in my experience, you’re more likely to bump the table in front of you than a table to your side. But since the mic will pick up some table noise, try not to bump the table that the gooseneck is attached to while recording.)

When you’re not using it, you can bend it out of your way:

And then bend it back into place when you’re ready to rant to the world.

Wussap, my Rothschild! SPEND THANKSGIVING WITH THE FEENS! Michael W. Dean and Neema Vedadi record an extra-great extra-long episode for you to listen to on your Thanksgiving travel, or alone on turkey day (with Michael on-call for you for emotional support!) We see the “GUNS AND WEED: THE ROAD TO FREEDOM” DVD on sale, discuss Switzerland legalizing having four marijuana plants (but not five), the Four boxes of liberty, how all governments hide the gun to your head with “soft violence, and how a man caught a 881-pound tuna that was then seized by feds. We hear about the dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide, The Gulag Archipelago, West Hollywood endorses first fur ban in United States, Macy’s fined for hoodies, Obama Pushing Shooters Off Public Lands, a cool Bill of Rights music video, and the connection between Agorism and Dungeons & Dragons. Then they discuss The TOR Anonymity Network, BitCoin, Silk Road, Wikileaks, PGP and other Crypto-Anarchism, how some people use digital encryption for Agorism and to route around nanny laws. Michael tells a Thanksgiving horror story then, talks ill of the dead, and praises HEARTS OF DARKNESS: A FILMMAKER’S APOCALYPSE.
