Greetings good citizen, tough old world out there, isn't it? The 'keep' em in the dark' media re-enforces the public's negative image of them by reporting on the twin hurricanes and not mentioning a peep about climate change.
If 'everybody knows' then its no thanks to them...
Hey, we KNOW they'd be all over the 'Divine Retribution' angle in a hot minute if they didn't care about losing what little credibility they have left.
For some bizarre reason the people managing the media are working hard to keep that last bit of powder dry.
Not particularly reassuring but in a land run by psychopaths it's hardly surprising.
So we are left to ponder, like the NY Times did this morning, what, precisely, we are 'commemorating' on 9/11?
We nuked the Japanese for Pearl Harbor...bringing to an end four long years of savage combat. How ironic we continue fighting the war started by the 9/11 attack and still NOBODY knows what 'victory' looks like.
Probably worse is it's a 'bloodless' war. If it weren't for the occasional 'anniversary' we wouldn't know our armed forces are dying in the Middle East fighting in [assumedly the latest (but obviously not the last) Crusade.]
Will the war end only after the Christians defeat the Muslims or will the forces of Allah bring the 'infidels' to their knees. {The oil is on THEIR land, pretty sure claiming Christ wants us to have it isn't going to convince the natives to surrender.)
Worse, how cynical is the idea that the whole conflict is just an excuse to jack up the price of energy, even as the number of users plummets due to the global consolidation of market share?
Obviously they didn't think this one through or we'd still be the world's manufacturing powerhouse. That shining symbol of freedom and liberty the world over, but no, they were going to do what the (capitalist) playbook demanded and that was to EITHER expand the system OR put a stranglehold on global markets (defacto monopolies achieved via buying the world's governments.)
Seems they couldn't decide on which was more 'productive' and the last gasp of the 'boom - bust' era taught them that the end game has always been 'monopoly'.
What can be said about a game whose ultimate objective is to bankrupt all of the other players?
Once somebody 'wins' the game ends [because everybody's broke!]
Isn't there a message there?
Apparently not one anyone is paying attention too...just like nobody, since the whole shitshow started, has been able to define (even roughly) what 'victory' looks like in the Middle East.
To give you an idea of just how pathetic the media is, NONE of the pundits has even raised the question of our badly broken political system a system that serves only those who [literally] BUY into it. If you don't have a 'vested interest' in the status quo, nobody is 'representing' YOU.
Is it any wonder nobody 'votes'? Neither party has anything in common with the people who slave their lives away bringing us life as we have come to know it...worse, nobody questions the 'inequities' that life results in and THAT'S what should be kicking your ass.
So on the sixteenth anniversary of 9/11, you can sit there and contemplate just how cynical the world has become in it's ceaseless quest to keep the 'rabble' down [and if doing that means 'blood for oil' then so be it.]
People aren't complicated but their lies sure are!
Thanks once again for letting me inside your head,
