Unbelievers

Greetings good citizen,

As I opined in earlier posts, the destruction of our civilization proceeds apace. That said, the biggest illusion most of you suffer from is that they won’t get away with it when history shows they have, repeatedly.

Who is the source of this insidious oppression?

The man with the badge…the same guy that claims to be protecting YOU.

You know you’ll do time for a minor infraction while the privileged few walks away unmolested.

Especially galling is how a teenager in Missouri is shot to death for allegedly shoplifting while not a single perp has done a second of jail time for dealing in ‘collateralized debt obligations’.

Is this policing in action?

Is the message here ‘steal big?’ Or more troubling…how can they prosecute you for robbing our species ‘creatively’ with ‘imaginary’ products?

This, by the same people who call the lottery a ‘stupidity tax’.

But I’m still trying to figure out what a ‘bitcoin’ is…and how your computer can make/ ‘mine’ them…

It’s the old, “if you have to ask then you probably can’t afford the answer.”

It also deposits us back at the disturbing issue of how does a society that makes nothing support itself?

Because we all know the short answer here…it doesn’t…but I, along with a lot of other smart people, have been pointing the brazenness of those who mis-manage our civilization for decades.

So what are you gonna do when you find out you’re holding an empty bag…look for a buyer?

Worse, the bag will empty ‘on command’…one day there’s the crumbs you’ve managed to squirrel away and the next, poof!

Sad thing is the metal is no more secure than the paper is…and you idiots know who you are.



So to cut to the chase, we are and have been suffering from a major overload of BS. The disturbing part is those responsible for dishing out the BS are the same people pushing YOUR buttons!

Which is to belabor the obvious…most of what passes for ‘news’ these days can be filed under ‘who gives a shit?’ but they broadcast it anyway because the alternative is silence…and silence leads to thinking…and you know what happens when people start thinking.

We SHOULD be living in a ‘golden age’ but the ‘more for me’ crowd isn’t interested is sharing what’s left…and the sad part about that is they are screwing themselves (along with the rest of us) out of some wonderful developments.

Shift mental gears with me as we take on one of the more disturbing ideas put forth by our ‘mis-managers’…the concept of ‘why work’?

One need not look too far to find ‘forward-thinking’ individuals making a case against one of the most natural forces on the planet…the one money was invented to address.

The same nitwits who put forth the mistaken notion that money exists so we can pay taxes (or, conversely, taxes exist to ‘justify’ the existence of money) is absolutely wrong.

Money exists so YOU don’t have to do EVERYTHING yourself!

Put yourself in Libertarian hell for a moment and try to wrap your mind around what would be involved in providing yourself with EVERYTHING you need to be a productive member of society. (Helpful hint: start with naked and imagine what kind of clothing you could fashion for yourself if you were stranded in the wilderness…would you be hoping to run into a junkyard somewhere?)

YOU couldn’t do it…and neither could any of these self-made, self-reliant assholes who call themselves ‘job creators’ and appreciate nothing anyone does because it’s all them!

So why work?

Because working is how we ‘participate’ in society.

Shift gears again because that necessary social good has been bastardized into an income stream for the unappreciative. (Our so-called job creators’)

WE ALL NEED JOBS BUT THERE AREN’T ENOUGH TO GO AROUND!

One need only look at the aisles of any retail store to see how much of our efforts are wasted with ‘busy work’ (or worse, poisoning one another.)

But we do what we do to survive and still the vast majority of us live in wretched squalor (and the rest suffer a ‘hand to mouth’ existence.)

Why, you might ask?

So ‘a few’ can be rich.

How sad is it that the only ones who think that’s a ‘good idea’ are those (criminal) ‘lucky few?’

How do we, er, ‘dislodge’ the swine who control our fate from the corridors of power?

We must remove the corridors of power from their reach. [See A Simple Plan]

Which is to once again belabor the obvious and return full circle with the central issue facing our species.

We don’t have ‘money problems’…we have a HUGE ‘legal problem’ (and NOBODY to date has even nodded in the proper direction, not Marx, not anyone.)

Until now and I’m no hero.

Um, if I have to tell you to attack then I’m wasting my breath (figuratively speaking.)

The life you save will definitely be your children’s.

Thanks for letting me inside your head,

Breathtaking!

Greetings good citizen!

Getting settled in after a move is difficult at best but things are, er, ‘turning up’ after managing to get lost in the moving shuffle.

Still a few missing items but they too will resurface…eventually, most likely after they’ve been replaced; you know how it goes.

In my last post I put forward the ‘ground up’ solution since the top down is, er, ‘impenetrable’. You can’t talk to your congressman…(or even your local selectman for that matter) unless your pockets are deep enough to ‘buy’ some face time. Even then, have something to say that he/she doesn’t want to hear and you may as well take a match to the money.

Which is to point out the obvious…there is no ‘civilized’ way to effect change. Thus you are reduced to resorting to more barbaric (but far more effective) methods.

You can bet you’ll have Sparky’s undivided attention when you slip that rope over his/her head…and once he’s through promising that you will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law he might even listen to you…not that this is important.

One of the factors you need to understand is those currently in charge are not the people you want managing things if your goal is to restore justice to our civilization.

Chances are excellent the person/elected official that studiously ignores you is guilty of crimes against humanity and will forfeit their membership in society as a result.

[A thinly veiled euphemism for ‘exile’.]

But I digress, shame on me for not taking advantage of this ‘teaching moment’.

We find ourselves in this unhappy predicament precisely because of our badly mis-managed ‘monetary system’.

Why doesn’t the corporate owned media expose the excesses of our thoroughly corrupt government? Because the criminal few hold their paychecks hostage!

The people who keep us informed are just like you and me…they do whatever it takes to keep their paycheck coming in and if that means lying to you well it’s nothing personal… it’s my job and it’s how the boss wants it done. (And if I don’t do it there are a dozen guys behind me that will…)

This is a largely ignored factor in our badly mis-managed society…worse, those guilty of crimes against society don’t give a crap because

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

(Short answer: nothing.)

Don’t get me wrong. People are riled and they’re taking to the streets but they are stopping short of causing real difficulty because of our heavily militarized police forces.

Thus do we return to the ‘bottom up’ piece of the puzzle. It is more difficult to change from the bottom but it is the only effective method if you want to initiate total systemic change/cleansing.

And we NEED that change, the old way is ‘fubar’ and cannot be repaired. We must initiate a truly NEW Deal.

How many of you are alarmed/amazed that our pal Flipper is back in action again nationwide?

We all know the real estate market is a bad joke but here comes flipper telling us the ‘greater fool’ is waiting to be fleeced again…probably because the corrupt legal system didn’t prosecute anyone for destroying the economy the last time they did it…

Guess what’s going to happen this time?

Hyper-inflation! Once the housing market is destroyed people will flee to wherever they think ‘true value’ lies and the price of food will go berserk!

But I get ahead of myself.

How do the criminals that prevent 99% of us from enjoying the security that our labors 'should provide us' keep that security from us?

Easy: they make it so you can NEVER afford it!

Is there enough to go around? Depends on the thing and that’s why we can all sense the ground rushing towards us at frightening speed.

(Please indulge ‘Captain Obvious’ for another moment or two, will you?)

Our entire social model is based on ‘cheap, abundant energy…once it is neither the whole model falls apart!

Why do I call for action? Because the boneheads in charge are grabbing as much as they can before the bottom drops out. (Not that they’ll succeed in keeping it but they could prevent us from recovering the lion’s share out of pure spite…and in case you haven’t noticed, it’s how they roll.)

No irony should be lost on the fact that this is being done utilizing the substance that is 100% ‘funny’…stuff the infamous ‘they’ fabricate out of thin air at will (because they can!)

It won’t be even a little ‘humorous’ when you and your loved ones are both starving and freezing to death while the tiny fraction of one percent is warm and well fed because their checking accounts are ‘limitless’…

More bothersome is how ‘too expensive’ only applies to you, not them.

This should not be, regardless of their imagined contributions to society.

But I should stop now because your fragile grip on reality (such as the Corporate media programs into you) can only tolerate the truth in very small doses indeed.

Up to and including the notion of if you truly thought for yourself then none of this would be necessary.

Which now has you questioning what I have just pointed out.

Stop, take a deep breath and ponder your circumstances while there’s still time.

As I have cautioned all along, it’s going to get very ugly amazingly quickly…

I’m still struggling to wrap my head around the idea that my poor son got laid off from a supermarket! (Due to a boycott instituted by a hostile takeover so it’s not quite as outlandish as it on the surface seems…but once again I belabor the obvious that NO INDIVIDUAL should have the power to inflict that much suffering on ANYONE due to ‘personal greed’.

Which brings us full circle to the ‘crimes against humanity’ issue I mentioned earlier.

Serious mis-management people and we need to step up while there is still something left to salvage!

Thanks for letting me inside your head,

Ripples

Greetings good citizen,

Long time…but nothing has ‘changed’ (which is to say we’re still going to hell in a bucket and our leadership [what passes for it] continues to pretend it is powerless to it.)

(sigh)

I stopped posting partly because I felt I was… ‘shouting at mountains’ (wasting my breath) and my third shift position really took it out of me…but last night I got evidence that my words/ideas aren’t so outlandish that they had best be kept to myself.

Which is not to say I had any (direct) influence on the views I saw expressed on the most recent episode of Real Time with Bill Mahar. What piqued my curiosity is Bill had a Marxist on in tandem with this spotlight on our failed social model and he, like me, asked the question, “What now?”

Anyhoo, the job, (like the fifty plus before it) ‘evaporated’ just shy of a year…which really sucks because I have seven more years to go until I can draw my SSI…but what are you gonna do?

Besides, the way things are going, I’m going to have a lot more to worry about than where to address my miniscule (compared to the cost of living) Social Security checks.

So what do you do when most of the people of this nation have been made ‘redundant’ (and the bankers have made off with all of their pension funds while our politicians studiously looked the other way?)

[Hint: clawbacks are NOT the answer; we have never needed to ‘get the money back’ (because ALL money is ‘funny’!)]

And to digress yet again…I’m not the only one faced with the predicament of being forced to survive in a broken society.

And NO ONE intends to save us.

Worse, the plans have already been laid to, er, ‘beat back’ the restless/dissatisfied masses. (What else would Homeland Security do with a billion rounds of 9mm? Are you really stupid enough to believe they’re preparing for a ‘terrorist invasion?’ Guess who gets to wear the terrorist uniform?)

(Can you say genocide?)

[Did I mention nothing has changed?]

Um, I have ‘danced to the border’ with most of my posts, always stopping just short of offering concrete, er, ‘opinions’ regarding what YOU should be doing about all this.

Left (for far too long) to your imagination is what SHOULD BE obvious to you.

It all starts with accountability.

Letting our ‘enforcement agents’ off the hook with the ‘I was just following orders’ excuse is what has led us to where we are today.

Don’t misinterpret…I’m talking a ‘bottom up’ approach.

The cops say they are doing what they’re told (by the judges and the politicians) but who do they all ‘work for/answer to?

YOU!

So when some ‘armed thug’ tries to pick your pocket (an exercise in intimidation/obedience) just smile, take the ticket and throw it away.

The thing YOU need to understand is Mr. Just following orders will put a bullet in you (and would secretly prefer to) if he is ‘ordered’ to.

Is that the kind of person YOU want carrying a weapon and brandishing a badge?

It’s EXACTLY the kind of person the weasels running us off a cliff want taking their orders…the kind that don’t think because it makes their little head hurt!

I refuse to candy coat this. Cops already hate me (even the ones who agree with me because they see it too!)

Correcting this situation starts at the bottom…which brings us back to the original question, what will we run out of first, rope or light poles?

Again, don’t misunderstand. It doesn’t stop with the cops. The politicians and the, er, injustice system needs to be, um, ‘cleansed’ along with it. And it doesn’t stop there! The entire corporate structure has to be overhauled and the self-serving eliminated from the process.

I’m not lifting the blinders off of anyone’s eyes. You all see it too.

Amazing how the silence is deafening (and I don’t expect that to change either.)

Well, now I’ve done it. It’s one thing to keep your mouth shut and have people think you’re a fool and quite another to express yourself and convince them it’s true.

Until next time,

Thank you for letting me inside your head,
