About VioPac Heavy Industries

We live in a world where the distinctions between satire and reality are no longer discernable. Osama bin Ladin blows up the World Trade Center and our leaders invade Iraq in response (remember "Shock and Awe"? How about "Mission: Accomplished"?); we put a bunch of oil-men in the White House and then wonder why petrol got to $4.00/gal.

VioPac mourns the loss of reasoned debate and citizen participation in government. We believe that a government for the people means you and I, not the impeccably-bred career politicians for whom things are made so much easier. True, the election of President Obama sets a precedent; but VioPac isn't made up of US Senators and investment bank presidents. We believe in local involvement. Our focus is in making our town, county, and state a better place to live, through the one mechanism that truly terrifies what the damn hippies used to call The Establishment: active involvement in, and monitoring of, government.

VioPac, for those who don't know, stands for Violent Pacification, taken from the D.R.I. song of the same name. It conjures up both the contradiction inherent in the far-reaching imperial fantasies of United States foreign policy at its worst, and the inevitable result of a domestic political landscape devoid of people willing to stand up for their rights.

Inaugurated in 1995 as the Violent Pacification Corporation, VioPac has undergone many changes over the years. It all started out as an insidious EvilCorp[tm], transmogrified into a sort of propaganda machine, and hit its stride as a repository of political satire and ranting. Despite the sometimes radical changes in presentation, what VioPac has sought to promote in the world hasn't changed: personal responsibility, liberty, and government accountability (with an unhealthy dose of sarcasm thrown in for good measure).
