Punk Rock in SLC (film) and Kalama Sutta

Punk rock made sense to rebels

SLC Punk! is an American comedy-drama film written and directed by James Merendino. The film centers around Steven "Stevo" Levy, a college graduate and punk living in Salt Lake City during the mid-1980s. SLC Punk!, which was released in 1998, was chosen as the opening-night feature at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival [2]. Merendino created the film based on his experience growing up in Mormon-heavy Salt Lake City. Although the film is not autobiographical, Merendino has said that many characters were based on people he knew [3]. More

What's so punk about Buddhism? Well, it is anti-authoritarian, into direct experience rather than intermediary priests. It is about questioning and going "against the stream." Just ask punk Buddhist Noah Levine, his Buddhist dad Stephen Levine, or his long-time teacher Jack Kornfield.

[Mormon] Jesus saves? Buddhism is all lies? - Are you envious of lay people, and do you regret?

Western monk explains his choice of Theravada. - How can we know and be sure? Bodhi

Not until I was sure did I claim to know and see.

It is so sad to hear this last man's words. The same accusations were hurled at the Buddha in his day by Brahmins and doubters. While it may sound reasonable to us as we assume, it is completely wrong. The Buddha DID NOT follow his own thinking or take a "best guess" and the meaning of life. It was about awakening to the Truth he could never have imagined. It has so little to do with "thinking" and so much to do with directly experiencing. But he did not stop there. He verified again and again and taught a path of verification and purification. Buddhism is not a belief system, as much as people try to treat it that way or make a "religion" out of it. It is a path-of-practice, a set of instructions. One must practice (walk) the path to verify it for oneself. There is nothing to believe or accept on blind faith. There is everything to investigate and see for oneself. What is the most "punk" sutra? That would have to be the Kalama Sutta, the Buddha's invitation to self-inquiry. "Don't believe anything I say just because I say it -- or even that of your teachers or books or traditions. But you yourselves must know and see" is the gist of what the Buddha is saying to the Kalamas, a group of people who rightly doubted him as "just another teacher about to exalt himself and condemn others." The Buddha shocked them when he didn't do that but still managed to teach them the Dharma.

How can anyone know anything?

The Buddha gives a standard: Start from what you
already know to be true from your own experience.

In the Kalama Sutta the Buddha lists the criteria by which any sensible person can decide what to accept as true or not: Do not blindly believe religious teachings, he tells the Kalamas, just because they are claimed to be true, or even through the application of various methods or techniques.

Direct knowledge grounded in one's own experience can be called upon [as the deciding factor]. The Buddha advises that the words of the wise should be heeded and taken into account, but he does not propose passive acceptance.

Rather, the Buddha promotes constant questioning and personal testing to identify truths that verifiably reduce one's own disappointment, suffering, and misery (dukkha) and that of others.

The Kalama Sutta (also called the Kesamutti Sutta) states [3]:

• Do not go on what has been acquired by repeated hearing (anussava), nor upon tradition (paramparā), nor upon rumor (itikirā), nor upon what is written in scriptures (piṭaka-sampadāna), nor upon surmising (takka-hetu), nor upon axioms (naya-hetu)... More

US Jews REJECT Israeli crimes: 'Israelism'

Amy Goodman (DemocracyNow.org, Jan. 22, 2024; Shauna Schwartz, Sheldon S., Ashley Wells, Pfc. Sandoval (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

New Jewish film examines American Jews’ growing rejection of Israel’s illegal occupation

(Democracy Now!) Latest Shows. Support: democracynow.org/give. The new documentary Israelism examines the growing generational divide among Jewish Americans on the question of Palestine:

Many younger Jews are increasingly critical of Israel and less supportive of Zionism.

Simone Zimmerman, one of the protagonists of the film and a co-founder of the group IfNotNowMovement.org, says she grew up being told that supporting Israel was central to her Jewish identity.

But that collapsed once she visited the illegally Occupied Palestinian Territories [where Jews steal land in the name of Israel with the protection of armed Jewish militants of the IDF] and saw the system of racist apartheid and systematic state oppression under which millions of Palestinians live.

“It’s so deeply contrary to our values as Jewish people to support this disgusting oppression and denial of freedom,” she says.

Democracy Now! is also joined by Erin Axelman, co-director and one of the producers of Israelism, who says Zimmerman’s journey mirrors their own and those of many other young Jews who realize they “must fight for the freedom and equality of Palestinians while also fighting antisemitism.”

The film is on a 40-city screening tour in Canada and the United States after previous efforts to ban the screenings on several campuses.

My tattoo guy likes to scribble. I think it looks good, like I'm an animation sketch or snake.

Shut the front door. You know I look good. I'm thinking of doing cam porn or bank robbery.

Tattoos used to be cool. Now every dumb@$$ has one or two or ten, on the face and butt.

(Theo Von Clips) "Tattoos are kinda boring," Kat says. Celebrities got them and now everyone has them. You can have one and be hired with no problem. There are tattoo shows. There's nothing dangerous about them or even interesting. But this, blacking them out, this is freaking people out. This is like getting tattooed used to be. See? I'm always on the cutting edge of things. #katvond. Full episode: This Past Weekend with Theo Von Clips. Website: theovon.com. #tattoo

My tattoo is me. I wear this skin, like when a dog rolls in another dog's pee scent.

Israel to send Gazans to Africa: genocide

Issac Jones (TrendyDigest.com, News, 1/4/24) edited by Sheldon S., Pfc. Sandoval, Ashley Wells, Shauna Schwartz (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Genocide on Parade: Israel engages in a conspiracy by plotting in talks to compel “voluntary migration” of Gazans to Congo (Africa) by obliterating the Strip and exterminating anyone who tries to stay

We're conspiring to trick them out of their land

Israel is reportedly in discussions with the Democratic Republic of Congo and other nations to entice and pressure them to help facilitate the “voluntary migration” of Palestinians from their homes in the Gaza Strip, as part of a controversial plan that is gaining traction among Israeli government officials complicit in the forced relocation of the ethnic indigenous population.

• Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP.org)
• Not in Our Name! IfNotNowMovement.org
• American Veterans for Peace
• Israeli soldiers: Breaking the Silence

The High Court ruined Plan A. Here's Plan B.

Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition is said to be conducting secret negotiations with Congo and potentially other countries to accept thousands of immigrants from Gaza.

“Congo will be [made to be] willing to take in migrants, and we’re in talks with others,” a senior source in the security cabinet revealed.

This comes against a backdrop of intense conflict brought on by Israel's revenge attacks on civilians, with Gaza facing a severe humanitarian crisis following a bout of IDF violence that has resulted in a surge in casualties and kidnappings and baseless detentions by the occupying force on its captive population, held partly in the Gaza concentration camp.

Peace doesn't work. We must rely on war.

Amid Israel's ongoing genocidal attacks from the air on an armyless adversary and attendant tensions and humanitarian concerns, Netanyahu, at a right-wing Likud faction meeting, expressed his administration’s determination to compel the migration of Gazans to other countries:

“Our problem is [finding] countries that are willing to absorb Gazans [so we can be rid of them and can steal all of their remaining land], and we are working on it,” Netanyahu stated, addressing the challenging task of finding willing host nations.

The corrupt and criminally charged prime minister’s remarks align with sentiments expressed by Likud MK Danny Danon, who noted that the global community is deliberating the possibilities of voluntary immigration, despite widespread international disapproval.

Which body-double are you? - The crying one.

The pursuit of this policy has drawn severe criticism from the US State Department, which denounced the rhetoric from far-right Israeli ministers as “inflammatory and irresponsible.”

However, Netanyahu and his right-wing government coalition persist, with high-ranking Israeli officials such as Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel endorsing the migration [expulsion] strategy.

During a Knesset conference, Gamliel asserted, “voluntary migration is the best and most realistic program for the day after the fighting ends,” painting a grim picture of post-conflict Gaza with limited municipal governance and economic opportunities [until the unwelcome natives are gone then watch a complete shift in outlook and opportunity for Zionist Jews].

I got this, Bill. We've been plotting a long time.

The Israeli government’s approach, purposely mislabeling the strategy as “voluntary migration,” has been met with skepticism.

Critics argue that by purposely making Gaza uninhabitable by aerial bombardment and the use of secret Israeli weapons, the policy effectively coerces Palestinians into leaving.

Israel's ongoing war on Gaza, which has led to significant displacement of the population and loss of innocent life, further complicates the viability and ethics of the proposed scheme.

They learned well from us: NATO (NAZIs).

“At the end of the war, Hamas rule will collapse, there are no municipal authorities, the civilian population will be entirely dependent on humanitarian aid. There will be no work, and 60% of Gaza’s agricultural land will become security buffer zones,” Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel said to the Knesset on Tuesday.
