Greetings good citizen,
Once again you just can’t make this shit up! Which is to opine that the truth really is ‘stranger than fiction’.
Naturally our evidence comes from the twisted thinking of the bought and paid for shills of the corporate owned media…making it all that much more hilarious!
We begin with the ‘Everybody Knows story of the week:
How much more ‘divorced from reality’ does it need to get before you are convinced that the idiots in charge of the financial markets are robbing us all blind?
But that’s only the tip of the iceberg:
Um, I make no secret of my loathing for ‘representative politics’, it is little different than monarchy, where the few decide for the many…often against their well known wishes.
I would view ‘representative politics’ more kindly if the representative were ‘held accountable’ for theirmisdeeds, er, ‘actions’.
Vote against the wishes of your constituency and face the hang man…that would foster a modicum of ‘trust’ in the process.
We can appreciate that this would lead to an ‘unusual’ number of ‘abstain votes’ so one would have to extend the rule to cover this contingency as well.
Abstain when the people of your district are decided and face the hangman…which would (rightly) make the majority of modern politicians ‘rethink’ their career choices.
Naturally Gegner is an anarchist with a small ‘a’ who believes in direct democracy and desires to scrap the political process entirely.
Our next news item is another ‘reminder’ of just how badly broken our political system has become:
Is our corporate owned media that fearful of having a different perspective offered to US viewers? They don’t (to our knowledge) muzzle the BBC.
But what do we know about the motivations of our media?
And yet more evidence of (false) ‘economic growth’ through increased market share…
Maybe it’s the ‘psychological benefit’ they’re trying for…maybe it will make the investors ‘feel better’.
How fucking sad is it good citizen that there are no ‘concrete benefits’ to be reaped by cutting already too low interest rates…
Did I mention you can’t make this shit up?
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
Gegner

The recently concluded federal budget agreement could raise the tax bill for people with incomes over $250,000 by thousands of dollars.

How much more ‘divorced from reality’ does it need to get before you are convinced that the idiots in charge of the financial markets are robbing us all blind?
But that’s only the tip of the iceberg:
Some Breaks for Industries Are Retained in Fiscal DealWhat do stories like this prove? It proves that our ‘elected representatives’ don’t take the time to READ (and therefore comprehend) what they are voting on. (Supposedly an ‘aide’ does the heavy mental lifting but if a lobbyist cleans that aides plumbing he/she might be inclined to give a less than honest/accurate report of what a piece of legislation does or does not contain. Thereby forcing the legislator to commit treason because he/she is too fucking lazy to read their own stuff!

Hollywood, the railroad industry and rum producers benefited from some obscure provisions that survived the deal between the White House and Congress.

Media Decoder BlogIs it just me or do you detect a note of hostility in the way this headline is worded? The euphemism usually used in this situation is ‘bought out’ not ‘shut down’…but I guess it depends on who is doing the buying, eh?
Al Gore, a co-founder of Current TV, which will be shut down by the Qatar-based news organization Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera Seeks a U.S. Voice Where Gore Failed
By BRIAN STELTER
Al Gore’s low-rated cable channel will provide the pan-Arab news giant with something it has sought for years: a pathway into American living rooms.
Is our corporate owned media that fearful of having a different perspective offered to US viewers? They don’t (to our knowledge) muzzle the BBC.
But what do we know about the motivations of our media?
5-Hour Energy says users will not experience letdowns later.Dunno, never touch the stuff myself…weird that kids go for it though…
Energy Shot’s ‘No Crash’ Claim Is Disputed by Watchdog
By BARRY MEIER
An advertising watchdog group says it told the distributor of 5-Hour Energy years ago that a claim that the drink did not cause a letdown once the effects wore off was unfounded.
And yet more evidence of (false) ‘economic growth’ through increased market share…

Bank Lending in Euro Zone Slumped in November, Data ShowLeft to our feeble imaginations is what good cutting already negative interest rates is going to do, economically?
By JACK EWING 7:12 AM ET
The report could fuel expectations of an interest rate cut when the European Central Bank meets next week.
Maybe it’s the ‘psychological benefit’ they’re trying for…maybe it will make the investors ‘feel better’.
How fucking sad is it good citizen that there are no ‘concrete benefits’ to be reaped by cutting already too low interest rates…
