Leftovers

Greetings good citizen,

During the days I didn’t post last week I was not idle, I compiled the following load of stories for your, er, ‘edification and enlightenment.’

Since much of this stuff goes ‘stale’ fairly quickly my original impulse was to delete the whole mess and move on. But some of this stuff is too good to discard (without comment) so I’m going to use it rather than toss it.

Consider this the blogging version of ‘leftovers’.

Up first we have this article which falsely purports that Democrats are by definition ‘Liberal’ and therefore took an active role in combating the conservative destruction of the global economy.

So, the question is, “Where were the Democrats when this was going down?”

Or just how ‘relevant’ (given recent history) is that R or D behind a candidates name?

The fact remains that nobody within our political system went to the mats defending the rights of the exploited, not Democrats and certainly not Republicans.

It seems the current president has struck upon the problem facing our nation, that we have been too ‘unfriendly’ to business and that we need to become more competitive!

Just how fucking ‘tone deaf’ is this stupid son of a bitch?

What the fuck does numbnuts think has been going on for the past 30 years?

Seriously, just how the fuck does he think we got here anyway? I’d be real interested in hearing THAT fable…

But let us move on as there is more, er, pocket change to shuffle from one side to the other .

Naturally, I’m blind…does anyone actually see a ‘solution’ here?

How disturbing is it to you that the implication here is that our so-called ‘betters’ have been left to design and implement solutions that will (naturally) benefit them far more than it benefits the rest of us?

The question ‘how stupid do they think we are?’ continues to be answered in one word and that word is ‘profoundly’.

Actually good citizen, when playing others for chumps, the real regulating feature is their collective ability to actually do something about being cheated.

We (collectively) have no power to either arrest or punish the criminals among us because law enforcement is itself corrupt.

But what are you gonna do? (A rhetorical question, the answer is obvious.)

Moving on, we have this interesting piece that points us in the direction of how a fish rots, from the head down.

Here’s another reason why I keep shaking my proverbial fist at the corporate owned media. Their silence caused this!

For some extremely bizarre reason most people fail to grasp the reality of ‘class war’. The criminals among us are given a pass because they are thought to be more like us than dislike (which is true, BUT that’s not how THEY see it.)

This little ‘assumption’ on the part of the general public is very dangerous indeed mostly because it makes them turn a blind eye to a very real threat.

Speaking of threats Did I just say something about THE FUCKING CORPORATE MEDIA? Or should I ask you again how one tells the difference between a Republican and a Democrat?

They BOTH have huge yellow stripes running down their backs so that’s no help (the result of ‘in-breeding’.)

Why doconservative retards ( a comment that is unfair to retards)keep lobbing drums of nitroglycerine at our society? Which is another way of asking just who (besides our moronic president) thinks allowing individual States to declare bankruptcy (just so they can renege on their contractual obligations) is a good idea?

Methinks we are all learning that being articulate does not by any stretch of the imagination mean that one is overly honest.

Yes good citizen, in a world where everything is about to become prohibitively expensive we need to pay the people who mind our kids and keep the streets safe less. (So the CEO's have a bigger bonus pool to draw from!)

Here’s a theme we haven’t visited in a while, probably a good idea to refresh yourself, given recent global events. P.S. by the way, it was no ‘accident’, this shit is intentional...makes you wonder where James Bond is when you really need him?

Oh, that’s right, he works for these shitweasels!

Anyway, this is now old news but I didn’t want to let it pass without asking the obvious question: Stupid is as stupid does! Who thought THIS was a good idea?

Some of you may recall my prediction that we would be faced with some major ‘supply line’ collapses in the not too distant future, well it seems the future is now.

Talk about ‘re-runs’, here is a laundry list of all of the things I’ve been bitching about for time out of mind…and if I’m not mistaken, it seems somebody’s actually pissed off about it!

Welcome to my world.

That said, I would be remiss if I failed to point out the ‘elephant in the room’, what a 53% total unemployment rate says about our system of commerce? (Which is also the primary system used for managing our society...)

Does the term “Hooray for me and fuck you” sound familiar?

It’s rope and lamp post time!

We cannot survive as a society using a system that purposefully excludes more than 50 % of our people.

Why are we still saddled with this turkey of a system? Because the ‘entrenched wealth’ benefits from its continuance, if you don’t like it, tough.

Which are ‘fightin’ words’ where I come from.

Thanks for letting me inside your head,

Gegner
