Greetings good citizen,
In a rare trifecta, the top stories on today’s NY Times provide us with a ‘snapshot’ of the current status of, er, ‘our’ civilization (Which is actually two societies that are no longer even pretending to ‘co-exist’.)
What do YOU make of this puzzling first piece?
Of course not, this was like a drone attack at a funeral (anyone who was a friend of the deceased was a terrorist…and therefore deserving of ‘summary execution’, which, make no mistake about it, is PRECISELY what a drone attack is.)
Um, I’m not the only ‘unbeliever’ out there but if I’m wrong then hell is filling up mighty fast, wouldn’t you say?
How much sympathy do you think anyone has for ‘tiny Israel’ when they dispense with the entire justice system and murder with impunity?
Which is to opine that this is not ‘civilized’ behavior. If the rest of the world behaved like the Israelis regularly do it would be paved in glass already.
Moving on, we have this perplexing story that hints at communism not being completely crushed in China…(to the chagrin of the capitalists.)
So the ‘politicians’ sell out their countrymen for a ‘better life’ for themselves…
Funny how that ‘monkey see-monkey do crap works, isn’t it?
How do you suppose we break that ‘cycle of corruption’ if NOBODY is ‘trustworthy’?
How about ‘your money is for you’?
Stopping the ‘counterfeiters’ is where it all starts. Most of what’s floating around like turds in our badly broken financial system is ‘fluff’ and prices no longer have any basis in reality.
How bad is it? Did I mention ‘trifecta’?
But that’s nothing, I reported yesterday that GDP slipped and it had something to do with government spending.
Today it appears the story is a bit deeper and much more disturbing, our economy (such as it is) is on ‘life support’ tied to a printing press!
(Worse, the printing press is tied to a machine gun aimed at the hornets nest we call the Middle East!
How long do you think the ‘hosers’ in charge can keep this crapshoot afloat?
Probably just long enough to steal a lifeboat and load it full of the family jewels before bugging out to a tropical nirvana!
They won’t make it…but they ‘believe’ they will and to them that’s all that matters.
(Soon to be the plot of a major motion picture, yes, Hollywood IS ‘shameless’, which is bizarrely unrelated to its pervasive tastelessness… (Which has more to do with the bean counters than the art itself.)
all of which becomes moot when there is no longer a civilization to play to…
How ironic is it that the >One Percent thinks we are already there?
So, in aggregate, what do our top stories tell us?
In the first we see absolute ruthlessness in support of the ‘status quo’. Why is Israel ‘helping’ Assad? Because he keeps the Syrians out of Israel.
We’re back to the old ‘Devil you know’ scenario. Doesn’t matter if his people hate him as long as he holds up his end of the bargain and ‘peace’ reigns in the region.
Put a ‘wildcard’ in Assad’s slot and who knows what will happen next? Perhaps this new leader will unite the rest of the Arab world against the (thieving, murdering) West and upset the delicate balance of global energy supply and demand.
And everything north of the tropic of Cancer will freeze, in some cases, to death.
Our next story points at pervasive governmental corruption. How cananyour civilization survive if our ‘self-professed betters’ keep throwing the rest of us under the bus?
Then we have our ‘war-driven’ economy. What does this say about our children’s future?
As a sidebar/closer has anyone else noticed the, er, ‘eruption’ of desperate acts across the nation over the past couple of weeks?
While many of these incidents appear to be mental health related, we should still view them as the proverbial ‘canary in a coal mine’, a makeshift ‘barometer’ of social health if you will.
The more ‘nothing left to lose’ you see, the less control they have over the situation.
And it CAN BE STOPPED, they just have to ‘change course!’ (And stop treating people like animals…)
Thanks for letting me inside your head,

Israeli Airstrike in Syria Targets Arms Convoy, U.S. SaysSo, was it a ‘surgical strike’? Did the Israeli ‘aces’ only destroy the boxes ‘addressed to Hezbollah’?
By ISABEL KERSHNER and MICHAEL R. GORDON
Israel carried out a strike deep inside Syria, American officials reported, saying they believed the target was a shipment of antiaircraft weapons meant for Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Of course not, this was like a drone attack at a funeral (anyone who was a friend of the deceased was a terrorist…and therefore deserving of ‘summary execution’, which, make no mistake about it, is PRECISELY what a drone attack is.)

Hackers in China Attacked The Times for Last 4 MonthsSeems it doesn’t matter what kind of government you are subjected too, it has a price and the capitalists are paying whatever it takes!
By NICOLE PERLROTH
The timing of the attacks coincided with reporting for an investigation that found that the relatives of China's prime minister had accumulated a fortune worth several billion dollars through business dealings.

U.S. Growth Halted as Federal Spending Fell in 4th Quarter[That last blurb snuck in and wasn’t intentional despite it being pertinent.]
By NELSON D. SCHWARTZ and BINYAMIN APPELBAUM
The government played a role in slowing the economic recovery as cuts in military spending and other factors overwhelmed the Federal Reserve's expanded campaign to spur growth.
