Doin' alright

Greetings good citizen, how far 'down the pipe' are you looking when it comes to gauging the 'success' of your genetic legacy?

Once you've bred, it's up to the next generation if your line is to carry on. This is pretty much the viewpoint adopted by MOST of us anyway...some take it, er, 'further' [and this is often those who arrived here with, um, 'advantages' the rest of us can only envy...although we do get to laugh hysterically when it all goes horribly, publicly wrong!]

The 'hypocrisy' of preaching unity then turning the conversation to one YOU can understand is not lost. We live in the world of 'I' but at least tacitly understand the importance of getting along with others, it's the 'we' part that devils our attempts to survive this thing we mockingly call 'civilization'.

Certainly very little that is 'civil' about it but for lack of a better term, it is what it is.

I have already experienced at least one 'defection' [but I suspect this is the same individual that, like a moth to the flame, keeps coming back out of 'morbid curiosity' because their 'thinking parts' don't work so good.

With that in mind I apologize for the battles some of you are having with your conscience's [not that you have anything to feel guilty about, you do what you do using the best information available at the time and move on [hopefully.]

The land of 'I wish' can beat you to death if you dwell upon things you have no power to change.

But there are those who resent their parents for not being rich [just to give you an idea how deep the 'misuse' of money penetrates the human psyche...]

Indulge me for a moment as I clear some of the 'smoke' [lack of transparency] raised by changes most of you think/believe are 'unnecessary' [or 'impossible', which amounts to pretty much the same thing.]

First 'mental roadblock' some of you collided with was the outlawing of the employer/employee relationship. This is another 'failure to understand' that YOU [in ANY 'division of labor' construct] work for Society/the public.

The freakishly selfish like to call themselves 'job creators' when nothing could be further from the truth!

Again I point the 'finger of accusation' at our education system that leaves questions like this unanswered!

[To which they'd retort, 'stop sending us stupid kids and we wouldn't have this problem!' but swallowing its own tail is the horrendous amount of BS they feed our kids because the 'State board of Education' considers them 'facts'!] What most of you are unaware of is it's legal for them to 'propagandize' you/your kids. Can't be held responsible for filling the too stupid to know better head with nonsense, despite being/considering themselves 'educators'...talk about a self-hoisting petard! Imagine waking up everyday to this and KNOWING the reason is YOU!

Confusion is a terrible thing. How frustrating is it that those who complain the loudest about our allegedly 'broken' education system are incapable of 'agreeing' on the facts, creating more 'confusion'?

But I digress...[funny how that term has been turning up in a lot of movies these days...]

There is only ONE 'job creator' and it's not even human! How many of you know who creates enough work to keep us all busy 24/7/365?

Bueller? Anyone? Bueller?

That's right, it's MOTHER NATURE! Survival is the mother of ALL work. [Paraphrased: you'll do it if you want to survive! Don't do it and you're gonna DIE!]

Vexing to the [feeble-minded] capitalist is the rather limited list of things humans need to survive [the fact they will fight caged animals to get these things is the capitalist's strength, shamefully enough!]

Not that a capitalist knows what 'shame' is, it's a totally foreign concept.

[Rewind] Since YOU [currently, albeit from behind a 'smokescreen'] work for 'the public' it would be the very same public you've always worked for and it is where your 'pay' would come from! [This straight-forward stuff here, do try to keep up!]

Here we encounter the argument of 'why pay' and there is only one answer to that...because we can't all be in the same place at the same time, ever.

Not on vacation, not at a concert, not even out to dinner (that you didn't personally cook!)

STOP! This is the [partial] 'short list' of things money is 'useful' for. It 'regulates' who can be where, when. Beyond this 'regulating function' money is absolutely useless.

One of the 'tollbooths' in, er, 'modern life' is the scoundrel's ability to enrich themselves by exploiting money's 'permanent nature'.

Huge amounts of cash flow through society as 'personal ease' has been 'commodified'. No irony should be lost that the 'owner' of the tollbooth makes off with the 'lion's share' of the take.

And if the people working for that self-centered nitwit can't live on what he pays them? It's not HIS problem, it's THEIRS!

[cue maniacal laughter...]

Nothing 'abnormal' about abolishing the self interested from exploiting people.

Makes you wonder how they got away with it for so long until you realize that thing we call 'government' is just 'window dressing', established to cover the thieves tracks...

We, as a species, really can't go on like this.

You can no longer see very far down the road but one thing is obvious, that tube has gotten a lot shorter...and we can no longer 'expand our way out' of this dilemma.

Gone are the days when 'growth is good'.

This is your wake-up call, good citizen.

Wake up NOW or the only direction left to go is DOWN! There is still plenty of UP remaining but you can't get there from here the way they're going about it!

This is yesterday's post that I couldn't finish due to computer problems...sorry for the hiccup...and as always, thank you for letting me inside your head,

Nowhere to run

Greetings good citizen, today's headlines tells us what we already know, that the 'difference of opinion' between those who make decisions in our name without EVER consulting us and those of us forced to live with those decisions is ginormous...

Worse, the system that supports this 'gulf' is also beyond repair.

'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' is the point of view taken by those the system serves ; it is obvious peaceful transition/negotiation isn't even on the horizon, nevermind the table [or the room.]

Yesterday, I laid the 'cornerstone' of a new way of doing things, the Human Anti-Exploitation Law, which outlaws the employer/employee relationship...among a plethora of other 'legally protected but decidedly unethical' practices [Just a teaser at this point but this law will be the law all other laws have to measure up to! [meaning most of the existing 'legal library' will be tossed out as 'inadmissible'.]

How can you 'own' what we all need to share? [This is the elephant in the room regarding our broken educational system, not 'stupid kids', it's stupid educators!]

But I digress and there is no need to address this now, more important issues press.

For example: the war for the future [disguised as the GWOT(surprise!) a war that is threatening our species with extinction!]

Well, not ALL of us. Those holding the upper hand now PLAN ON surviving it...and they're gonna take enough beaten down, kool-aid drinkers with them so they don't have to do ALL of their own 'heavy-lifting'.

The rest of us, it's win or die!

Understand...those leading us down the path to slaughter don't intend to lose so it's up to us to devise a 'game plan' of what to do when they fail to exterminate us!

Right now, do nothing and there is a 90% certainty level that you're going to be judged as 'redundant'. If you're not 'drop dead gorgeous' or as dumb as a box of rocks and can pull a plow all day without the aid of a tractor, you're going to be turned into COMPOST.

They WANT stupid and the less questions you ask, the more likely it is that you'll get to live. [Assuming your own stupidity doesn't do you in, karma is strange that way.]

Well, what if you're NOT stupid?

Do you have enough 'presence of mind' to fight extermination at the hands of the freakishly selfish?

There is no 'forward' without a goal and it is mighty reckless to even entertain the idea of overthrowing the idiots currently in charge only to replace them with people just like them...because that's what will happen if you don't have a CLEAR IDEA how to make the future different!

Let's begin with 'differences'. We all start out as a 'clean slate', the belief that 'your kind' is the best kind is an idea your parents put there to give you confidence.

Take a good look around you at what happens when that confidence isn't given a very terse 'reality check'. Your parents love you and want you to be the best you can be but reality is you are no more DESERVING than any other lifeform on the planet.

Because YOU are 'sentient', you have dominion over life that isn't capable of 'reason' [sort of chokes me to use these terms because our humanity has been severely 'squelched' by the 'freakishly selfish' among us. Those raised to believe they are 'better than us'.]

It goes without saying others are 'sentient' too and it is these people you must not, er, 'mess with' [pretend to be 'better than'] because all you have done is proven that you are not trustworthy.

This is why treason carries not only the death penalty but the most brutal death permitted by law.

Ironically, people haven't changed. The [current] legal community has 'redefined' treason to be a crime against the nation but humans understand that treason is alive, well and regularly committed against the 'vulnerable'.

Ironically, these feelings of betrayal are driving the sense of 'wrongness' in our society and that is feeding the breakdown of 'social cohesion'. Be mindful that the only thing preventing us from killing one another on sight is social cohesion!

Untrustworthiness is a poison we must eradicate from our genepool just as those who value their own cleverness more than their humanity [or their membership in society] routinely disregard the welfare of others in favor of their own.

The first 'tool' to prevent becoming someone else's 'dupe' is the H.A.E. Law and instead of executing the 'untrustworthy' we will 'exile' them [but first we have to foil their plans to exterminate us...]

We have NUMBERS in our favor...but our numbers are hampered by the handicap of stupidity. Kids don't understand that things aren't supposed to be this way, it is up to us to lead them to a 'life worth living'.

Is the life you live now, this hand to mouth existence, fit that definition?

The exploiter/betrayers have made YOU into their 'slave to money'. This is no world to rise an innocent child into.

If we were to compile a list of 'what's been tried' a partial list would go like this 1.) Strong-arm tactics [by order of his Imperial majesty] but that failed miserably. 2.) Spirit in the Sky [Who are YOU to argue with God...but no 'god' turned up to make good on these empty threats, resulting in the current 'epic fail'.] 3.) By committee/a.k.a. Democracy or 'the illusion of self-rule'...which is crumbling before our eyes because the monarchs of old never really left.

So, the 'salvation of our species' rests in a true 'rule of law'. One where the law is placed beyond the reach of the 'self-interested' via the implementation of 'direct democracy' [where the people who must live under the laws vote directly on the law rather than letting the self-interested [re-write and then] decide for them.]

So the Human Anti-Exploitation Law will usher in what has, to date, only been given lip service to because the untrustworthy have exploited our trust in them for far too long.

A Simple Plan really is Simple...but it comes from a direction most of you haven't given 'a lot' [if any] thought to because you've been raised to believe that the life of misery you've been living is 'as good as it gets'.

It can and will get A LOT better but 'baby steps'...you have to understand it before you're willing to fight for it!

I know I'm taxing your attention span so I'll drop it here and pick it up again tomorrow!

Until then, thank you for letting ne inside your head!

Stranglehold

Greetings good citizen, in what some may deem as 'overly ambitious' I have decided that making a book out of my blueprint to save civilization would be a 'fool's errand' [even the 'self-publishing' sites would ban it out of a mis-guided sense of self-preservation.]

So get your note pads ready because I'm about to lay it out for you HERE, in this very forum...[let's see how far we get?]

Um, to borrow from a site I admire, the project will require 'some assembly' as it is my intention to lay out the pieces rather than set it down all at once only to have it vanish, just as it's many iterations before it have.

The pieces should remain intact but the feckless know no bounds and nothing terrifies them more than ideas not in synch with their agenda.

What better place to start than the beginning, and to kick things off we have this message from the founders of the current F-fest

Seems the world's most despised bank thinks they have a 'trust problem', fostered by a 'restrictive legislative environment' in the wake of FORTY YEARS OF REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP...

WTF?

You don't suppose Jamie is 'talking his book' here do you? Seems most bankers have no clue what to do about the 800 ton Ape in the courtyard.

They 'broke the model' when they started writing mortgages for salaries too few customers were making. Worse, they also ran out of 'investment opportunities' that paid the interest on savings accounts, so people stopped saving...then there's the trillions of dollars that literally have no where to go...what do you think Mr. Dimon proposes we do about that?

Capitalism is BROKEN and there IS NO WAY (using f-u, pay me) to 'fix' it.

[Eradicate debtors and you'll have no workers/customers left. The 'system' as it exists is STUPID!]

Which is to opine he needs more than 'secret sauce' [stupid pills/frontal lobotomies] to put the investing world back on track.

That said, the 'problem' is not 'unfixable', just the opposite, it's highly fixable so long as nobody 'profits' from the repair job! [in the 'traditional sense of the term, we ALL win/profit by reforming the 'F-U, pay me' cluster boondoggle.

How do we 'fix' the global economy?

By implementing The Human Anti-Exploitation Law!

What does this law do?

It outlaws any human from making their living from any other human. [Think abolishing the employer/employee contract.]

[Let that soak in for a minute, takes a while to process.]

The bright among you see daylight, you see how this would/could work...the rest of you need it spelled out.

You are raised with the emphasis precisely on that one factor, YOU. You are taught from a very young age to figure out what YOU want to do with your life...and as you mature you begin to figure out there isn't a lot of room out there for 'individual efforts'.

Deep pockets make established operations formidable foes in the marketplace. So you lower YOUR sights and aim at becoming a valuable member of someone else's team.

UNDERSTAND, you don't build your own house [you'd have to apprentice for decades just to accumulate the required licenses!] and you sure don't have time to grow all your own food or tend all of the livestock 24/7.

Despite the 'mis-educational' system's focus on YOU, life is a decidedly 'cooperative' adventure...this is why life in capitalist utopia would be much different from the life you enjoy today. Without the 'division of labor' life as we have come to know it wouldn't exist.

This brings us to WHY money exists...so YOU don't have to do EVERYTHING yourself.

Perhaps the most daunting fact facing humanity here and now is how money has been so 'mis-managed' by the 'self-interested.'

Most of us buy our own 'money pits' because rents are ridiculous when you shouldn't have to do EITHER!

The housing market EXISTS to provide banks with (perpetual) income!

Income the banks, like our CEO class, doesn't need [we can leave the 'deserves' part out of this...]

YOU can't be expected to be an effective 'team member' if you are being bled to death by a landlord or a bank.

Housing is an 'income stream' that only serves to enrich the titleholders...no one else! Society doesn't need them.

More importantly, nobody 'needs' owners either...these 'leeches' exist because the self-interested used this 'privilege' to insure their 'loyalty'. [Thus is the 'investor' paid many times over for investing once...as crazy way of doing things considering how long this nonsense has been going on.]

Ask any sociologist and they will tell you we are but a half a step away from feudalism [the system that reigned almost fifteen hundred years ago!]

Which leads us to the second half of 'what's broken', why the current system has ceased functioning after all these centuries.

MONEY NEVER DIES, even long after the wealth that created it expires, the money remains 'on the books', diluting all that comes after it.

Sounds like an 'insurmountable problem' but not any longer. With the advent of the electronic age, digital money is now a reality! A true boon for civilization because ALL CRIME IS 'CASH & CARRY!

Outlaw cash and money can be ERASED! [How ironic only the honest will see the advantage in this...because the most harmful aspect of 'cash' is corruption...paying to get one's way against the wishes of the majority or the greater good.

Which is to belabor the obvious, the only people interested in having 'physical money' are those who wish to commit EVIL with it!

Thus do we conclude steps one and two of how to fix our broken economy. [only the beginning of 'revolutionizing' society!

Keep an eye on this blog!

Thank you for letting me inside YOUR head,

Advice

Greetings good citizen, I am 'chary' of giving advice, the wise don't need it and fools won't heed it so it's largely a thankless proposition.

That said, I don't dispense advice, I technically don't even dispense that rarest of all commodities, truth, [although I do strive for 'truthiness', that 'relative truth' that makes things useful to know when measuring other things you've been fed [usually rectally.]

I often find myself in this 'reflective state' after perusing the headlines and asking 'why did the editors filling the public space [with hand selected BS] choose this particular tripe to distract the public with this morning?

Most of the time the answer is because it re-enforces the world-view they have been carefully cultivating since 'Morning in America' [One where most Americans have chosen to sleep-in] in as much as the day's headlines are a disturbing cross between OMG! Annie get your gun and despite everything, it's all gonna be alright so sit back relax and don't touch that dial [now remote, TV's don't come with dials anymore...heck, even radios don't have dials!]

Most of what you find on your hand-held is what the infamous 'they' think you 'expect to see', what they think you 'want to know'.

Then there's this stuff, which you don't consider nearly enough because this is Murika and we ain't having no 'social meltdown' while there are still red-blooded Murikans 'round!

Well, what 'survival advice' can you lift from people living it here and now? Our modern 'pioneers' are somewhat 'reverse Indians' in as much as they find themselves 'squatting' on someone else's land...and the Cavalry isn't coming to save their butts, it's going to lock them up for being 'vagrants'...

Hell of a thing, considering how this whole CF got started, ain't it?

Talk about 'elephants in the room' and 'slow-motion train wrecks'; here we have one going on right before our eyes and the media IGNORES IT...because they don't want to draw attention to what caused it.

Might spook 'the help' if you're picking up what they're laying down...

Elsewhere, in a related news item we have this disturbing 'looky that' news article where a company whose vehicles retail for six figures a copy have overtaken Murika's number 2 automaker in market cap!

Again, this is expected to be lost on the average slob...who may 'lust for' a Tesla but knows its price-tag rivals that of a house/condo and he couldn't afford to maintain it even if he was GIVEN one.

What's lost? The relatively small pool of buyers for a luxury item like a 'premium' electric car. The statement that they've sold 25,000 units so far this year is telling indeed.

CEO compensation is still 'way out of whack' with the rest of the economy and is unjustifiable...but YOU aren't expected to even READ that article...or think about it beyond the snicker your Chevy brain gets over beating Ford and thinking 'big deal'...

Again, it's not advice but you need to wake up and smell the offal, it's not Republican vs [non-existent] Democrat, it's the same as it EVER WAS, RICH vs POOR!

And guess what team YOU'RE ON, STUPID!

Buh and Duh!

Makes you wonder if they don't walk around going 'right foot, left foot, inhale-exhale' as they move down the hall towards the restroom...and whether or not they'll remember why they went when they get there...it's that bad!

On a parting note, I encountered a Trump voter in my travels and they defended their action by saying they couldn't vote for Hillary...which is perfectly understandable but why didn't he choose door number 3, vote for no-one?

It obviously didn't occur to them that this is something they should have done...because of the way things are set up all Trump needed to do to secure victory was vote for himself. Voting 'against him' isn't an option until he runs for re-election.

Does anyone else think we're doing this wrong and how do we head off a repeat of the last fiasco?

Apparently nobody is looking that far into the future, something I think you'll agree is more than a little worrisome.

anyhoo, thank you for letting me inside YOUR head...

PS: Hope that wasn't your best china I heard hitting the deck back there!

NOT MY FAULT!

Number one, with a bullet...

Greetings good citizen, we all know the gulf that exists between theory and practice, especially when it comes to 'morals'. They tell us one thing but do something else entirely.

Which is bizarre because right and wrong are very much 'black & white' issues...either it's the right thing to do or it's not.

What makes us choose 'wrong' when the situation is personal? Looking out for number one! It's not wrong to US, we're often too close to the situation to remain 'objective' about it. Sometimes we regret 'choosing poorly' (shame) afterwards but it seems as though life is full of situations where doing the right thing gives YOU the choice between a sharp stick in the eye and a swift kick to the gonads.

Although often times it's our unwillingness to sacrifice that makes us do contortions (bending the rules to justify our behavior) while we throw others under the bus so WE can have our cake and eat it too.

But that vixen Karma doesn't blink...what goes around comes around and eventually you'll get yours so decide in your own favor all you want. Karma always knows.

Often times you'll fool yourself into thinking you 'got away' with your little scheme but karma is a tricky devil and 'payback' is often seen as 'disproportionate' to the offense.

Ignore the destitute after you happen upon a dollar bill lying in the street? Your 'payback' could be cancer...of a very painful and slow variety.

You may not get it tomorrow but it's still a black mark that needs to be erased for your account to 'balance'.

More commonly, karma pays you back 'in kind'. Cheat someone out of what they desire and you, in return, will be deprived of something you desire.

But I digress, we [if we're mature enough] all know full well about life's 'tendency towards balance.' It's not perfect and sometimes our selfishness acts are just the karmic payback somebody else so richly deserves.

What I want to address is aimed at the adherents of Adam Smith and the 'greed is good' club. Those who foolishly believe that 'self-interest' is perfectly natural and self-sacrifice is abhorrent to the individual and 'unhealthy' for society.

If this were an 'isolated phenomenon' then we could 'tsk, tsk' and shame the offenders but it's not isolated. Those that have use it to justify their hoarding, saying they are serving the greater good despite their personal contribution toward making the world a more miserable place to live in.

Worse, some revel in the misery they create while others exploit it!

To Robinson Caruso, greed can be good because all of his efforts would result in rewarding him with a 'better life' but let's switch from a desert isle to a crowded life raft... crowded with just YOUR immediate family.

Now 'greed is good' goes straight out the window. You love everybody on that raft and it pains you that as the 'head of the family' it's up to YOU to make any sacrifices that need to be made.

First thing you do is choose not to eat, stretching already thin resources towards the improved odds of survival for the others in the raft.

Or you take the stance that your distress call was heard and that rescue is but hours away and you 'chow down' figuring your 'adventure' on the life raft will be something you'll all laugh about someday...but then you spend the night in the open ocean and there is no sign of rescue.

Different animal altogether. Do you regret helping yourself to the treats that one of your kids could have made another day on or do you still HOPE rescue is on the way?

The sooner you recognize the reality of your situation the greater the odds for survival become.

Hard, in fact impossible for most of you to transfer this line of thinking to our planet but the analogy is an apt one...and the sacrifices of the few will have little bearing on the outcome for our species.

If we don't all pull together, NONE OF US are going to make it.

How foolish is it that the 'primary excuse' the 'freakishly selfish' give when asked why they keep acquiring after they have more than they or their children can ever use in a dozen lifetimes is...'grandchildren, I'm taking care of my grandchildren...'

This is akin to what Vonnegut liked to call 'Idiots Delight'. [Made even more moronic in light of the fact that 'all money is funny' and has absolutely ZERO value.] In deference to 'purists', I acknowledge it is generally understood that Vonnegut referred to the practice of turning money into power then back into money again, often with zero regard for the 'consequences' as is so often done today.

Imagine a world run by rich and extremely 'spoiled' children? How would you punish them IF YOU COULD?

Think it's time to put them on 'time out' until they learn the importance of sharing and playing with others?

Because if you're not 'one of them' then by default, you are the other.

Thanks for letting me inside your head,

That was then, this is now?

Greetings good citizen, our 'bi-polar' politicians alternate [or used to anyway] between 'isolationism and intervention' to preserve the 'values 'we' hold dear'...which is to opine this historic quote

On April 2, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to declare war against Germany, saying, "The world must be made safe for democracy."

From today's NY Times is made that much more poignant by it's proximity to April Fools Day... [Again, we question who 'we' refers to, just like the We in the Declaration...]

During our nation's 'infancy' our leaders shunned 'foreign intrigues/adventures' to preserve our young nation from foreign influences [many forming the bedrock of what we revolted against.]

Eventually, after a world-wide tide of geo-political change left us the oldest established government on earth, they could no longer hide/shelter us from the wily, more 'mature' [if in years only] nations.

It is not a meaningless question to ask if, post 9/11 , the word 'Democracy' has become an empty 'symbol', a label they use to stir patriotic fervor among the mindless, who obviously have no clue what it means...

Just as they have no idea what tyranny means...or communism for that matter. [Imagine 'beyond stupid'...a world dominated by 'wake up and make the money!']

Honestly clueless. All just 'empty words' that politicians use to whip public opinion in the desired direction with.

How quaint is it that the desired direction has nothing to do with the 'national will'...or peace?

Worse, good citizen is the current tendency of those WHO OWN THE MEDIA to produce shows that 'screw with' your perception, what I refer to as mind fucks. [None of it's real it's all happening in the decidedly unbalanced character's head...like Mr. Robot [how do they get to season two after how season one ended?] and, perhaps blessedly, if you CAN follow 'Legion' it too will end with the viewer thinking it's all in the central character's mind.

Where does this leave you in relationship to others? Do these highly questionable plot lines 'pollute' an already soiled social mud bath?

Half of this tripe is 'unwatchable', you can't follow it because it's not SUPPOSED to 'make sense'...yet like rubberneckers passing an accident scene, the 'impressionable' can't seem to tear their eyes away.

I'll admit to not once laughing at a Seinfeld joke...because he's NOT FUNNY. But you had to keep watching so you'd 'get it'.

Well, good citizen, funny is funny in the moment, not something you 'realize' later...we call that a 'mind fuck'.

Which leads us to a more important question, now that the adults have been murdered and added to the salad, the question of who is preserving 'decency'?

Has this important social function been relegated to the church. If you don't go, oh well?

Look at the 'wasteland' the corporate owned media has become and ask yourself what will become of us now that God has been assassinated? [What started as 'a failure of the imagination' has morphed into a race towards depravity for depravity's sake!]

What a 'convenient' place to hide the cork? Remove God and your 'moral compass' (along with your social anchor) goes haywire...and we get programming like Mr. Robot and Legion to push you further over the edge...

[Don't look now but FOX (and affiliates) have done more than shatter our trust in News, it has destabilized your moral compass as well. Are 'right and wrong' 'antiquated notions?' They obviously think so!]

Where are the adults? Think we don't need them? Take a quick look around, the people calling the shots LOVE yanking your chain and making YOU so confused you'll swallow anything they dish out...because you're too gullible to know better!

If I want to be confused all I do is ponder why the Dow is over 20,000 in a country that makes NOTHING!

There is a 'reckoning' coming and it has nothing to do with 'Spirit in the Sky', it will be what happens when the Jokers in the deck get what's coming to them for playing God with our fragile social makeup.

[Sidebar: I am an atheist and have zero belief in Spirit in the Sky...but 'decency is another matter altogether and the 'mind-fuckers' have, until recently, used 'faith' to keep you on a tight leash! Now that god has become passé, they WANT YOU to become uncertain regarding 'right & wrong'.]

Your 'blind faith' that others will 'do the right thing' has lead us to the edge of this cliff they are trying to toss us off...

Some things you shouldn't mess with and the individual's mind is principal among them.

Only half of you will follow this, the other half will be 'insulted' at the idea YOU need protection...but you do!

It takes maturity [something our species lacks sorely] to realize the need to 'preserve decency' because of the nasty social backlash that results from letting the Jokers 'have a little fun'.

It's not 'fun' they're interested in, it's depravity and we can no longer tell the difference!

End of message: Thank you for letting me inside YOUR head.

April Fools!

Greetings good citizen, today's offering is a chilling example of Watch & Learn as formerly democratic Venezuela slides under the grip of capitalist fueled despotism.

[Look around the world good citizen, everywhere there is a dictator, there are resources being exploited that make the dictator rich while the people suffer...same way corporate chairmen regularly pay themselves a 1,000 times the salary of their underlings...just because they can, and our entire civilization suffers...]

Capitalists despised Hugo Chavez for his socialist policies but the people loved him...and they miss him even more, now that he's gone.

What killed democracy in oil rich Venezuela? The same people that are 'killing democracy' worldwide.

So in this instance we aren't pointing to some clever 'prank' that typically marks this 'unofficial holiday' because THE FOOLS here are the ones who falsely believe they have a choice, they don't and YOU don't.

The parallel here is if they can do this in Venezuela to poor people that can't fight back, is the only thing 'saving' our nation the hotly contested 2nd amendment?

What should disturb most of you is that The Right to keep and bear arms is an amendment at all, meaning it wasn't included in the original version which is where the amendments come from.

How sad is it good citizen that you 'don't remember' the conditions that made these 'amendments' a 'must' when it came to ratifying the foundation of this new nation.

While there are many 'self-professed' originalists, the world is a far different place than it once was...and not for the better.

The people in charge are just as feckless and greedy as their ancestors...and like their ancestors, they clawed and cheated their way back into positions of power that our extremely foolish system created.

So paranoid were the founders of their intent being repealed that they failed to leave a door that let the public vote for legislative change.

Or if it ever existed, it was murdered in the still of the night, so we'd be stuck with a system that could only be modified from within.

We can't even get Congress to put term limits on themselves so abolishing such handy relics like the Electoral College are beyond our reach.

No irony should be lost that the college was intended to prevent the election of a populist popinjay like the current president...who is in fact 'insulating himself' from the outside world.

How did this happen? Wasn't 'the press' supposed to keep the greedy and the grasping from defrauding the public?

Well, back to those 2,100 'billionaires', many with multiple billions.

April Fools! They're ALL fake! but that didn't stop them from buying the media and dictating what was and wasn't news to the clueless people who had no other source.

Notice the marked increase in 'fake news' as the 'corporate owned media' tries to plug the leaks they refuse to expose in the agenda of those who would murder those they can't enslave.

Sort of puts the biblical favorite 'blessed are the meek' in a new light...those 'too timid' to fight because they will end up doing all of the heavy lifting for the self-professed 'meat-eating monsters'.

For all of their posturing, carefully worded press releases don't make them factual or true...and if the reporter wants to keep seeing a PAYCHECK, they will write what they're told to write...and hold their tongue when the editor cuts their expose...

How FREE is that kind of press?

How stupid do the think we are?

Many more questions than answers good citizen...but isn't that our 'lot in life'?

The real question is why do we keep accepting the answers/shrugs provided by the shiftless, can't trust 'em as far as you could throw 'em 'professional liars'?

Thanks for letting me inside your head,
