Nakity 4 Peace in Berkeley

by Senior Unlimited Nudes
April 27, Berkeley, CA: Peoples Park anniversary party & peace rally, including nude peace sign, etc.

Naked for Peace in Berkeley

27 April 2003:
This year's Peoples Park anniversary party doubled as a peace rally.
Several naked X-plicit Players appeared on stage, then climbed down off the front to walk and crawl among the audience, who were sitting on a grassy lawn.
The two leaders were semi-covered by white bodypaint, giving them a rather ghostly appearance. After circulating thru the crowd, they picked up objects resembling big hunks of flesh, which they squeezed to drench each other with bloodlike red liquid.
Country Joe MacDonald played his famous Vietnam song, then respectfully watched the Fat Chance Belly Dancers.
Toward the end of the afternoon, in light rain, the nudes converged on a new garden where tree stumps have been arranged to form a peace sign in wood. They reclined on the stumps, adding a peace sign in human bodies.
The Players [http://www.xplicitplayers.com] have been performing nude for peace since the early Nineties.

How does this make it on the news, nakkid hippies and boring old hippie death culture. Thank all of you for helping us move past the pathetic cultures of the 60s.
please people remember the past, but create your own culture for the present and future huh
life moves on art should too
Move past? (ha ha ha ha ha) You, say, something like, thank all of you for helping, us/*ME*, move past the pathetic cultures of the 60s.

( ha ha ha ha ha ) You obviously were never truly of the Hippy be here now, question so called authority, be real, 60’s quest for higher consciousness, peace, love, and the best for all the World, think Globally but act locally culture of the some times referred to as, the 60’s, no, you might have lived through that time period, but you were never of that culture, you are of a culture that says, “move past the pathetic cultures of ……..”, you in fact, are a, small minded, bigoted, insecure, catty, fool.

You should learn to allow for the incorporation of life affirming, joyful, and giving cultures, such as the culture that in part has arisen from the, 60’s, into this life, this World, they are truth seekers, love seekers, justice seekers, and playful, happy, naked or not naked, people, but above all they are about, MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR.

This sounds great to me, to you it seems it makes you sick, well, that’s, ‘YOU’.

Seems like, ‘MAKE LOVE NOT WAR’, is not thing.

So sad, to be as intolerant, and unloving as you.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Laugh a little, it may help you, I know I sure am feeling good, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

George Bush and the Neoconservative movement arose during the 60s.
"cp", you say, "George Bush and the Neoconservative movement arose during the 60s."

Duh, helloooo?

George Bush lived during the so called time period when the, 60's movement, started, yes, this is true, but understand that he was never a flower child, he never was about the Hippy Heart and Mind of, be here now, question so called authority, be real, 60’s quest for higher consciousness, peace, love, and the best for all the World, think Globally but act locally culture, that is part of what was begun from the so called, 60's moment that is being spoken about here.

It is very important to understand context and the difference between the general and the specific.

As far as so called, "Neoconservative", goes, well, the so called, Neoconservative has been around since the 1950's with its early beginnings coming from whack heads of the 1920's. Yes, some Neoconservatives have lived during the time period of the 1960's, but they were and are not of the heart and mind of a hippies of the 60's movement of, make love not war, generation, they along with Bush, were and are in an alternate universe, sort of the evil side you might say, or the my Country right or wrong mentality.

They are about their controlling life in their image, instead of trying to make life for all, the best it can be, for all, in a way that most truly will allow for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all the peoples of the World!

.........................

A young girl takes a long stemmed flower and lovingly and gently inserts it into the barrel of the rifle that is pointed at her, as she stands in peaceful protest of the war mongering of the 60's along with hundreds of others who are there standing with her in front of a line of Government Troops standing in front of them with their rifles point toward them, who were these brave, loving, caring, peace activists, they were and are the so called, "HIP, as in being in the know", hippies of the so called group of peace and love that emerged from the so called 60's movement that began in that approximate time period of the 1960's.

I can not see George W. Bush, ever standing up to a rifle pointed at him, and placing a long stemmed flower into the barrel of it while it is being pointed at him, but I can imagine a hippy and today’s modern hipster, peace and love activist doing that today as was done, yes it was done in the 60's, and by a hippy of the so called movement of the 60's known as the hippies.

A Hippy is one who is of the heart and mind that I have indicated above, and that person, those people that the light of make love not war has awaken, they have arose and continue to arise and will continue to arise forever.

Bush was in the National Guard, or only technically because he never showed up for work for months at a time, so if he had been in the Ohio branch, he probably wouldn't have been part of the group firing at the students at Kent state around Mayday of 1970 when Nixon announced the initiation of US mass slaughter of hundreds of thousands in Cambodia.

neoconservatism is fairly recent - hence the neo. They clashed with the 'new left' of the 60s. Of course it has descended from some longer traditions. It's also very U.S. centered - one doesn't encounter the perspective in other countries so much where conservatives tend to be traditional conservatives: http://www.neoconservatism.com/

oh, here is another UC Berkeley derived neoconservative - there are so many. David Horowitz is the nuttiest and most prominent one. There is David Brock - who wrote falsified attacks on Anita Hill and Clinton - and has since recanted and become a sort of liberal - see "Blinded by the Right". There is the biggest spammer of indymedia - 'smashtheleft', and Steve Sexton, who has been featured in Time

Justin Raimondo, editor of http://www.antiwar.com would be an example of a libertarian traditional conservative who spends most of his time criticizing this other type of conservative

i love taking my clothes off outdoors, and would be the first to tear off my shirt at queer pride events and the like. (ok, i still do this.) but i'm too embarassed to do it in berkeley, because i'm afraid someone will lump me in w/ the explicit players. i mean, rolling around in the mud, especially people's park mud? and getting all touchy-lovey? yuck. thanks for ruining nudity for me.

Look, look, look, and listen to what stinko, 'pooter' poopper, has to declare, distain for certain types of nudity, o' wow! * what a turd! *

Next, 'pooter' pooper will have to declare how a feeling of disgust comes over, 'pooter', pooper, when a dog mates with another dog, o' my!

Hold the news paper press, 'pooter' pooper needs to vent his sociologically important findings that are so much more important then, war, or greed, or corruption, or health care, or Gestapo tactics of the government, or of the erosion of rights afforded under the Constitution and Bill of Rights of the United States by the Bushites, that so many have given their life to try and uphold, and so many many many other things.

Yes, Look, look, look, and listen to what stinko, 'pooter' poopper, has to declare, distain for certain types of nudity, o' wow! * what a turd! *

So Sad, Brain Washed, in the Army, during the 60's Elvis, a real 50's type, born: 1/8/1935

Yes, he had some nice songs like, ‘Love Me Tender – 1956’, ‘Stage Show – 1956’, ‘Jailhouse Rock – 1957’, ‘Loving You – 1957’, ‘King Creole – 1958’, and ‘G. I. Blues’. Then being in the Army and, for lack of a better term at the moment, he was, Brain Washed/screwed his spirit by the Military Mind Set, and as is known by many, that he had after this Military crap, a real problem trying to find himself, was very isolated by him self and his handlers, and became sicker and fatter and sicker and fatter as he longed to become a, Spook, a F.B.I. cop/agent, who could snitch on people. Yes, a real 1950’s character, who lived through the 60’s time period, until his death in 1977, another terrible military governmental tragedy.

By the way, the, Elvis Wanted To Be A Government Spook, you can read about at:

http://www.rollingstone.com/news/newsarticle.asp?nid=1031

Yes, to, ‘ elvii’, above who shows the picture of, Pal, Elvis, the one whom it seems, elvii takes the name elvii from, the 1950’s Pal, Elvis.

More, pork rinds elvii?

I started this hole stupid thread, and I like weird nakid people generally. But I just think that, barf. Like I want some crappy hippie crawling around on me. Shame.
Go crawl around nakkid at a church or go shock some normal people and quit torturing counter culture with your pathetic performance art. I mean Karen Finley was totally awesome in her time, but now she can recognize that what she used to do is not the shit anymore. Now she is a new wave Martha Stewart, I love the Cervix napkin holders.
Get a new shtick, cause girlfriend yall's tired. snap.
Same goes for all the dinosaurs of culture. Nostalgia is the tar heroin of the people.
Evolve or die
by Live and let live
ha ha ha, lets throw out the old culture of hip hop its been around to long, and the culture of, raising children, let them take care of them selves, and also lets get rid of a culture that would pay any attention to anyone who thinks the act of snapping their fingers to make a point, as it is of a culture that shows a person of to be of low moral quality, and generally one who is bigoted as a life style, ha ha ha ha ha, (snap), lol.

A loving culture forever

And forever a loving culture
