This might be my most prized possession. (I think telling its story is relevant to the brutal beating and murder by Memphis police of Tyre Nichols). I just bought this gun last night from a felon. This is something I do from time to time. I buy guns from people that shouldn’t have them. But […]
I’m pleased that the court system of Memphis was able to bring justice to Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man who was brutally beaten and murdered by 5 police officers. They all are charged with 2nd degree murder. The added twist here is that all 5 officers are Black. So the idea that changing the […]
Here are some photos from our fundraiser to support my run for Ward 8 Akron city council last night. We were at Mercedes' Tavern which is run by Cindy who is incredible. I got to meet Cindy's partner, Ruth, who is at least as incredible as Cindy. (I find that every successful business owner has […]

I LOVE thinking about the hardest problems in society. I believe the race war between Blacks and Whites is a foundational struggle that is so embedded in American society that it is almost our one great sacred struggle between good and evil. I am nearly obsessed with the Black/White American problem. If we can overcome […]

The White Pond Development Debacle in Akron is Far From Over. There is a good chance that city council illegally sold that land. There are 3 facts that have surfaced from this that are important to understand about Akron goverment. FACT 1: Dollar signs matter more than ANYTHING to this current administration. Even when the […]

Today, January 6, commemorates the forced closing of Akron's tent city on my private property on January 6, 2019. I have ALWAYS said, if you don't like my ideas then come up with your own ideas. Our homeless-run tent village ran for almost exactly 2 years. The MetroParks closed a very established homeless camp on […]

As a drug addled insane man pulled a gun on me yesterday because someone broke into his room and stole his clothes while he was in jail for two months and somehow blamed me for it, my first thought was: "That poor guy spent all his money on drugs and doesn't have an easy way […]
I like trying to think of activist direct action ideas that both raise awareness of the humanitarian crimes we impose on our OWN CITIZENS by stealing their tents and belongings and leaving them stranded on freezing streets in the richest, most “Christian” country in the world AND trying to help these people at the same […]

I wanted to remind you that I will be spending Christmas Eve sleeping in a tent at the corner of West Market and Portage Path in Akron Ohio from 6pm to 6am in solidarity with homeless pregnant women. People have slept out with me before. I really wish you wouldn't. It's not safe. And it […]
I’ve come to believe that all of this is just a physical construct for a spiritual journey. A possible reality is that you are the only conscious being in the entire universe and everything and everyone else is just a fantasy you have created. Whether that is true or not doesn’t matter. There is only […]
As soon as I said my name it was like she realized she was looking at a demon for the 7th level of hell. She exclaimed, "No!" She quickly shut and locked the door. I've had some people not appreciate my presence on their doorstep as I knock on what is now over 1000 voters' […]
Sage Against The Machine Podcast Episode 108. Akron City Council passed an anti-menacing bill this week, 12-1, that will give mandatory jailtime for any city working including the mayor and city council if they BELIEVE they are at risk of being hurt.

Last night city council ignored the people and voted to force a half-baked, high-priced rental complex down the throats of citizens who have fought so systematically and respectfully to at least slow down the process. I've been there. We had hundreds of people come in support of the tent village we were running on my […]
When they say Love Conquers All, this is what they mean right here. A couple years ago on some cold winter day I got a call from a 14 year old girl. She heard I knew her dad. So she reached out to me. I knew where he was. I went down to the Adams […]
In my campaign to try to be the next Ward 8 Council leader I have been to over 1000 Democratic voters so far. (Some I've gotten to speak to and some I've just dropped off literature.) It has been such a wonderful opportunity to get to talk to all these people. I've learned some things […]

I don't typically write these kinds of posts simply because throwing myself a pity party is not really my style. "Suck it up, buttercup" is how I live my life. But I guess there might be some worth in recording that I feel this way from time to time. There was a city-wide camp sweep […]
Sage Against The Machine Podcast Episode 105 City council member Shammas Malik liked the title of last week's podcast so much that he referenced it in a speech at the city council meeting this past week. So, since he liked it so much, I thought I'd give him a Part 2: All Politicians Are Slime […]
If I put so much as one tent on my land this winter or any time going forward I will now face fines and jail time for doing so. This fact makes me realize EXACTLY how society feels about the houseless community. They are considered hated, diseased rats that must either COMPLY OR DIE. We […]
I came across this Guardian article on this study concerning Housing First:Stable housing helps the homeless but it doesn’t cure all their problems | Torsten Bell | The Guardian Housing First dominates Democrat ideology in America to solve homelessness. The only thing a homeless person is missing is a house. This is so obviously wrong […]
I have debated if the work I'm doing is similar to the Underground Railroad in Slave America or Jewish rescuers in Nazi Germany. The biggest disconnect between slaves and homeless people is that slaves were not being eradicated. They were property that slave holders wanted returned. Nazi extermination only wanted one thing: to wipe Jews […]
