A contingent of executives from WLBOTT HQ traveled from our corporate office to south Texas over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The route took us past the massive Tesla plant near the Austin airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opportunity, the temptation, was too great. We convinced a senior Elder to moon the plant. A drive-by mooning. A harmless act of civil disobedience. For context, this moonage took place on April 5th<\/sup>, the day of massive national protests against the fascist and corporate takeover of America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Note: because of the delicate nature of this blott, our Ministry of Virtue and Vice insisted that we substitute a peach as a metaphor for any actual mooning images.]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Just to be clear, corporations are people<\/em>. Very wealthy people. Very powerful people. Much more people-ish than you or me. They have inalienable rights bestowed upon them by their Creator. The local authorities, in an effort to protect Tesla’s property rights, were hosting about 50 state troopers (as taxpayer expense). Using military-grade reconnaissance equipment (at taxpayer expense), they deployed a squadron of officers to intercept our act of civil disobedience (at taxpayer expense).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operation MoonShadow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our peach-bearer, along with the passenger Elders, were momentarily detained by the troopers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police, known for their respect of the constitution and love of the first amendment, were courteous and respectful as they taissed[1]<\/sup> us, kicked us to the ground and zip tied our hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once our Elders<\/strong> produced their driver’s license, passport, birth certificate, AARP membership card, and a certified copy of the Declaration of Independence<\/em>, were released. We were sternly warned that any future acts that potentially affected Tesla shareholder value would not be tolerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily the word got out, and our blue peeps in AusTex showed their support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
