Ground effect

Greetings good citizen, every once in a while you get the opportunity to receive feedback from the public [I attended a large gathering of the clan yesterday] and nobody had a single comment...which I find curious. Either I am truly writing these for myself or the entire topic [of the deplorable state of human relations] is so toxic that nobody will even touch it.

Be that as it may I can tell from the sidelong glances that people are keeping their mouths shut over what they read here and it returns us to the statement I made just yesterday about the futility of making common cause with cowards.

More troubling is the eternal silence on the comments section, cat got your tongue?

Somehow I have a hard time believing the old "if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all..."

Nope, so once you exhaust the possibilities whatever's left must be the answer, and what conclusion do we draw from the ceaseless silence?

That NOBODY is seeing this.

My 12,000 visits are complete phantoms.

Oh well.

Thanks for listening!

Submission

Greetings good citizen, between the 'anything for a buck crowd' and the 'I AM the LAW' types we also have the willfully ignorant media and the I refuse to believe it (and if I did I still wouldn't do anything about it) citizen that makes YOUR Life a living hell.

United we stand but making common cause with cowards is an exercise in futility.

Worse, it's what those who have helped themselves to YOUR money [it was free to them] do with their ill-gotten gains.

These feckless greed heads pay the mindless to commit crimes against those who oppose them. [but the savvy know cash is what keeps the criminals going.]

So on this Armistice Day we can only ponder just how many more wars we will have to endure before the utterly self-absorbed end us all solely to escape prosecution for their crimes?

Not for the last time will I welcome you to hell.

It's not the individual's unwillingness to change, it's the feckless who resist change. [It took the nobles 4 tries to get the Magna Carta signed into law.]

Which is to point out that so long as the 'I don't give a F' crowd is permitted to live among us we will not enjoy either peace or prosperity.

What these animals fail to appreciate is society is a MEMBERS ONLY club they have to EARN admission to!

We can outlaw cash and wipe out bank accounts but the I.D.G.A.F. crowd will continue to murder with the idea they will be rewarded by those who wish to continue the 'old ways'.

It's a disease we can't cure so we MUST exile those who fail to appreciate the consequences of their actions.

Fear not, there is NO BABY hiding in the bathwater of fecklessness. Zero 'great minds' will be banished unless your idea of 'greatness' starts with single minded brutality and unmitigated selfishness.

Again I doubt any of you appreciate the combining [by the same feckless] of Armistice Day with Veterans Day...one was to commemorate the most horrendous war ever fought [to date] and the others a day set aside to 'honor' those who served in those mindless wars.

Who among you is fool enough to believe they are 'free'?

Who is THAT STUPID?

The search for LIBERTY [freedom from tyranny] has driven mankind to the furthest, most inhospitable corners of the globe and still the majority of mankind struggles to survive under the 'comply or die' dictates of the feckless.

How many of you think it's time we take our 'clubhouse' back? [It's not theirs, it's OURS and WE get to decide who can be a member!]

Problem is the feckless have greedy friends who will sell them membership...so the 'untrustworthy' have to go as well.

We must rebuild civilization upon a foundation of membership that teaches the value of inclusiveness and forbearance.

If we fail to 'police' ourselves then we get the society we, er, 'deserve'.

Since the 11th hour and the 11th minute of the 11th day literally commemorates the end of 'The War to End all Wars' let us live up to that lofty goal by casting the feckless from our 'clubhouse' and starting fresh with a new, more prosperous agenda!

As a driver I am constantly reminded that it only takes one. Now that our world is awash in self-centered mindless greed we are faced with a choice. Either a civil war that ends in extinction [survival of the fittest] or culling the herd to save what's salvageable.

Happy Armistice Day for those of you who appreciate what this day was intended to commemorate.

Deference

Greetings good citizen, I belabor the obvious when I call our elected leadership 'meat puppets' and the current Meat Puppet-in-Chief is preforming 'beautifully' from the 'as commanded' point of view.

Trumps followers only vaguely recall yesterday so most of them have forgotten anything he campaigned on. The only thing that matters to his (fictional) base is that they finally backed a 'winner' [talk about Pyrrhic victories, eh?]

What sticks in the craw of the rational among us is how neither candidate was 'qualified' and how both of them had been vetted by Wall Street. In fact it's more than a little disturbing just how beholden both candidates were to the 'power elite'.

Zero irony that the Bushes were also part of Wall Streets stringer of 'lap dogs'.

I'll hazard a guess the only people who REMEMBER that Trump campaigned on a promise to 're-write' the trade deals that had hollowed out the US Economy and moved our manufacturing might to the far east...to reduce costs [a steaming pile of manure] are the people who DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM!

Again, for the benefit of the mentally challenged I will remind you WHO moved international manufacturing from the West to the East, only partly due to 'market saturation'...and with childhood diseases essentially [if only temporarily] defeated that meant there were more trust funds to fill for kids who now lived long enough to collect them! [The very SAME people responsible for Morning in America and the 'capture' of the political system. Um, I'd add the crashing of the global economy (twice) and the pauperization of the most prosperous society the world has ever seen.]

For this past week El Trumpo is visiting Asia, making nice to our trade partners like his predecessors did before him...and he seems to have decided he wants to live after all because his campaign rhetoric has vanished. He is 'making nice' to the very people he swore he would bitch slap and slam the (trade) doors shut in their faces.

This is NOT what won him the election but bar any egregious incident, the oligarchs will re-appoint him for a second term...because they can and lapdogs are exactly what THEY want, the public be damned!

Worse, there's a 'method to their madness'. The more you, er, 'turn your head' the more you'll be relieved when the next one isn't as bad as the last one.

We were all expecting 'a 180' when Obama replaced the War Criminal but it turns out 'window dressing' is the only thing that constitutional lawyer had. Nobody was prosecuted for crashing the global economy or clawing a quadrillion out of the crisis created by on bets that never should have been permitted in the first place but when the smoke cleared you [some of you] still had jobs and the gig economy/war took up the slack.

How many times do I have to tell you there are no such things as jobs creators. You do what you do because it NEEDS doing [although that is NOT TRUE across the board and many current 'occupations' will be eliminated come the re-ordering of society.

The fact the economy hasn't crashed and burned catastrophically is PROOF that ALL MONEY IS FUNNY!

The only thing it would take to crash the current economy is for the drug market to collapse, then all the money that is spent chasing drugs would be competing for food and all that 'excess cash' would turn the contents of your bank account into instant confetti!

In case you were wondering why we seem to be perpetually losing the 'war on drugs'....you are now educated. [Talk about 'job security', eh?]

So, where are the T-Tards [Tea Party' now that those tax cutting Republicans are finally going to give [the already rich] what they need like a hole in the head.

Like the 'war on drugs' [it's how the feckless earn R.O.I. in an economy devoid of investments opportunity] the OBJECTIVE of tax cuts that 'starve the government is to push society into its own cesspool...the one the feckless dug for us using our own stupidity against us!

Yeah, that's gonna leave a mark...but you deserve it.

Where are all the Trump supporters now that their boy is virtually fellating our out of control trade partners [while the fake news has a field day trumpeting the collapse of US hegemony to a 'too stupid to believe it' public...

Well, TGIF, eh? [goodness not the fake thing...]

Thanks for letting me inside your head and don't forget to help yourself to the free samples!

Because we let them...

Greetings good citizen, for decades now (it's been worse since Morning in America) we have had to tolerate a general 'meanness' coming from the One Percent in their 'employer class' disguise. While families struggle to make ends meet we were told repeatedly while the company was doing well that there was no money for raises [for the people that actually did the work] the people in the cubicle farm got raises but all the people that actually got the product out the door got was to pay more for their health insurance plan.

Nobody 'complained' because the feckless held the other gun to their head the, "you're lucky you (still) have a job" cannon.

Since the Reagan-Patco debacle no union has survived...except the unions that bind public workers together...and bizarrely, the police and firemen both refuse to make common cause with the teachers!

Again because the feckless politicians play the 'money has to come from somewhere' card.

Tell that to Wall Street.

That's 100% fake. Zero value across the board and zero irony that the ENTIRE one percent owes its fortune to the [fake] stock market!

I already told you how stocks continue to rise in the land(s) that makes NOTHING...stock buy back programs that artificially drive the price of OTHERWISE WORTHLESS stocks up!

Now the Senate is proposing a scaled back version of a Tax cut plan for the One Percent that has us all wondering, where is the TEA PARTY NOW?

I'm sticking to my guns, ALL MONEY IS FUNNY [and the proof is we would have gone bankrupt in 2007 when the feckless bankers racked up a QUADRILLION DOLLARS in CDO's and never made good on most of em!...this while conducting one of the longest and expensive wars in history!]

HOW STUPID DO THEY THINK WE ARE?

[Again, the answer varies with who you ask...pathetically enough.]

Now the housing market is ridiculously overpriced and the new tax cuts are going to drive POVERTY even deeper...all so 'a few can be rich.'

Ironically, akin to pre-WWII Germany, people still BELIEVE they will get welfare/assistance if they can't make ends meet.

They won't and then the royal fuckaree will begin...and only the cleverest will survive.

Understand good citizen, you've been 'sleepwalking' to your doom.

The Royals never left the public arena, they just peeled the targets off their backs and ducked into the royal treasury, which YOU foolishly believe is YOURS.

When they pull that rug out from under you the jig will truly be up.

Then we face our initial question of which will we run out of first, rope or lamp posts?

Again a rhetorical question because EVERYBODY that went along with this arrangement is guilty. How lucky for us all that Spirit in the Sky is imaginary because NOBODY survives that variety of retribution.

Zero irony is lost on the fact civilization won't survive being raped to death by those who think they don't need us anymore.

For those of you who require the assistance of a hunting dog to find the lavatory the 'those' just referred to are none other than the One Percent.

Those who act in their name couldn't have painted a target on them any more clearly.

I once again apologize to my non-single factor readers but feel compelled, out of compassion, to belabor the obvious and let the borderline single factor know they are purposefully being pushed to revolt. Not to make things better for them but to 'swap out' the old line oligarchs so the young 'uns can sit in the drivers seat for a little while.

How sad people that reckless don't have a plan, all they want is what their progenitors are denying them by remaining alive.

Perhaps now is a good time to remind you that under A Simple Plan EVERYBODY [no exceptions] makes their own way. Society cares for us all from the cradle to the grave. When you die, whatever is left over in your bank account is simply erased, nobody gets it.

You don't get much more elegant than that. Your money truly is for YOU and YOU ALONE!

Don't mind me as I rather enjoy the mental image of so many minds being blown at once. Its a concept that would have spared us all so much grief we can only wonder why it wasn't made law sooner!

Perhaps it's that 'single factor' thing that keeps popping up in the weirdest of places.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to help yourself to the free samples!

Numbers

Greetings good citizen, just as politicians are reminded that their single most important metric is 'jobs', the bean counters have once again stepped up to the plate to claim responsibility for what is being portrayed as a 'uniquely American Problem'

Shorthand: it's the numbers stupid!

True dat...but doesn't that mean as the population continues to boom the situation is only going to worsen?

Oh, wait a minute, it's the NUMBER OF GUNS that matters! Hitler only had one gun and look at how many people HE was responsible for exterminating.

Mind you, most of the victims of the holocaust were 'unarmed'. The ones that had the ability to defend themselves foolishly relied on the criminal courts...which didn't work the way it had been explained to them, more evidence as to why treachery is ever and ALWAYS a 'capital offense'.

So I ask you, good citizen, is 'disarming' REALLY a solution/option?

Under A Simple Plan you will be able to walk the streets carrying a bazooka if that's what you want to lug around everywhere you go. But first a word of caution: you won't need it and chances are you'll hit the ground dead before you get the first shell in position. Just saying. [We are a society of LOVERS, not 'competitors!'. There will be zero reason to shoot ANYONE...although I'd be quick to add you won't find a bigger collection of primadonnas anywhere else in nature and that could cause some fireworks if the mature don't intervene.

No need for the 'self-important' to kill one another, that's what exile is for.

The 'look what I can do!' crowd better think twice before they put the drop on their fellow citizens, most of whom will be packing BECAUSE you never know when you're going to have to defend yourself against an idiot.

Perhaps for the FIRST TIME it comes out in the news that the perp in Texas was a ticking time bomb with a long history of, er, 'civil disobedience'.

People like Devin Kelly would have been institutionalized or opted for voluntary exile [with all that implies] because no matter how hopeful you are, you can't 'fix' crazy.

What's that? You wanna go with to 'keep him safe?' Be our guest...for the same reasons we'd commit him. [see above]

Why do Americans have a higher incidence of whackos going off on the unsuspecting public? I'd like return your attention to a topic I raised not too long ago about our 'privatized' healthcare system that places profits for share owners ahead of the public's well-being.

But let's stick with our 'numbers' explanation: other nations have significantly larger populations. Is their lower incident rate due solely because fewer of them have access to guns or is their pubic healthcare system superior to the unethical system that is more focused on profits than positive outcomes?

There are a lot of reasons to dump feckless capitalism, slavery being chief among them but it is also the driving force behind the inequity and poor outcomes we suffer because under the flag draped banner of Capitalism, only 'a few' can prosper...the rest of us have to settle for basking in the 'reflected glory' of their uniqueness.

Now, honestly good citizen...how many of you wish the feckless few were SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROBLEM?

Your daily turd sandwich is all you get because 'the few' stole your meat...and the bread too!

YOUR PAYCHECK is intended to provide you with a comfortable life, free from chiselers bent on cheating you out of your pay!

But no, that's not the world we live in.

Never mind, wrong planet, please ignore this message, had you confused with somebody who cared! My bad.

Crowding

Greetings good citizen, as the shooting gallery lights up with more frightening regularity we RETURN to the 'elephant in the room' both the pundits and the media continue to ignore and that particular pachyderm's name is OVERPOPULATION!

The 'frustration' that is leading more and more people to become mindless killers is born of the capitalist doctrine of 'competition'.

Nowhere in our social model is 'inclusiveness'. Capitalists only have room for the best, they don't want the 'also rans'...and THAT leaves us where?

Did I mention feckless? Because D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F. is omnipresent!

Just as the problem of your job not paying you enough to live on...that's not your employer's problem, it's YOURS! [under capitalism]

A 'more responsible' social model would address these 'inequities'.

What will it take to finally put a fork in this pig cause it's DONE? [as in FINISHED, kaput, no more!]

But wait...there is another side to this coin...the one the 'more for me crowd' points to and and grunts, what about 'survival of the fittest?'

Do you REALLY want to play that card? [Because it both opens up the shooting gallery and ENDS ALL COOPERATION. It is no longer about US once the EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF card is played!

Even the military turns on itself because the military protects US...and that dog don't hunt in the 'free-for-all' the capitalists point to to as the justification for their fecklessness.

We have to STOP being played for chumps.

Here it is...the single thing that separates humans from the rest of the animal kingdom is our 'insect-like' willingness to cooperate with one another, putting the welfare of the tribe/herd ahead of our individual well-being.

Isn't THAT what we collectively consider 'the finest quality' about our humanity?

Well, how unfortunate for the rest of us that the none too bright value 'men of action' more!

This is what A Simple Plan's testing will sort for. Given time just about anybody can work out the solution to a problem, the tests sort out those capable of producing workable solutions that can be implemented quickly and with minimal collateral damage.

Isn't THAT who you want in charge during a crisis? Quick and workable rather than "he'll get there eventually, he's just waiting for one of his 'advisers' to tell him what he needs to do..."

But I digress...

Isn't at least PART of the FRUSTRATION you're personally feeling connected to the fact most of the problems facing humanity AREN'T EVEN ON THE DAMN TABLE?

Sometimes it doesn't take a lot of words to come to THE POINT.

Again brevity is the soul of decision-making. We have been saddled with a 'broken system' that CAN'T be repaired, Since the defects are nearly universal, capitalism and fabian democracy must be scrapped and replaced with direct democracy and the Division model of commerce that operates on a 'contribute to withdraw' model [with both sides guaranteed and cheats exiled.]

If you can't live by the rules you will be cast out. Principal among those rules will be the oldest of all prohibitions, the one against treachery...where you get what you want by screwing someone else out of it.

The feckless hate RULES THEY DON'T CONTROL. [Specifically ones that apply to YOU and NOT THEM.]

People like that have NO PLACE in civil society...how unfortunate for the privileged that they are raised to believe the rules aren't for them?

But I again digress...focus!

OVERPOPULATION, it's tearing the fabric of [capitalist] society to shreds...we either fix the problem [end capitalism] or it 'fixes' us...

Thanks for opening your mind, please take this and share it with anyone you think would agree. Numbers talk!

The Brink

Greetings good citizen, we can only wonder why the media ignores the elephant in the room as this past weekend produced a bumper crop of psychopathic violence. Never have so many been so isolated or more helpless. The conventions that prevent us from killing one another on sight have worn perilously thin.

Why do you suppose that is good citizen?

Perception is EVERYTHING [just ask the 'just tellin' ya how it is' media...] and what do you suppose the average individual is feeling? Again the answer varies wildly depending on where that individual sits on the totem pole. MOST people are feeling rudderless, there is no justice and equality is a joke. Spirit in the Sky hasn't lifted a finger in almost 2,000 years yet people still pray for vindication. The people at the top of the totem pole are tickled pink over the impending collapse of civilization. It creates the ideal circumstances for pushing the limits to the max!

The priests keep the lights burning but there hasn't been anyone home in millennia.

Wanna know who will 'deliver us from evil'? Find a mirror.

That's right, this whole shitshow starts with YOU! [and your continued inaction is only making matters worse...as evidenced by the news...a phenomenon the talking heads have no explanation for.

Officially it's a 'hands off' topic but as Lenny Cohen told us, Everybody Knows.

Welcome to a world where your only limit is your audacity...which is only a few heartbeats removed from that legendary jungle we thought we escaped so many planets ago, the one of 'kill or be killed'. Today's meat-eater revels in the thrill of 'all or nothing' (so long as they don't have to do their own 'wet work'.) Our modern predator wears white because he's never going to be within a hundred yards of his dastardly deeds.

He feigns superiority while others do his bidding...but he foolishly underestimates his henchmen...who only need his protection while civil society remains cohesive. Once 'order' becomes a fugitive, the feckless have outlived their usefulness.

How close are we to that day? It's a lot closer than sparky realizes.

The three pillars, Equality, Justice and Peace [Funny how the ancients held 'Truth, Beauty and Honor' to be vital to civilization but the lying bastards were slavers and thieves back then too. They couldn't promote the most important pillar of them all, Equality.

Say what you want about them but at least they weren't complete hypocrites! [Utter morons is another issue altogether...]

That said, the apple seldom falls far from the tree, the evidence is everywhere!

People who don't value civil society want it destroyed so they can evade justice...it's really that simple. Why does the media insist we are 'divided'? Because divided we fall and the institutions that keep society strong fail.

For some bizarre reason the ancients didn't place much value on TRUST and it is the very cornerstone of civilization, why do you suppose that is?

Could it be the feckless don't want to be branded hypocrites too? Silly, isn't it?

The fact we can't trust the people running things as far as we could throw them speaks volumes about our current perilous situation.

Now the Simple Minded honestly believe our rapidly collapsing situation is directly related to the 'turning away' from an Almighty abject failure who hasn't done a single thing since his inception two thousand years ago. Talk about short attention span theater, they completely forget WHY people stopped believing in the OBVIOUS BS STORY!

The greatest story ever told [pure fiction attributed to the hundreds of self-serving opportunists that were taught to write by the same feckless bastards that dictated the contents of the book!] A book that does not contain the answer to the problem of what to do about the self-serving among us...although those same 'side-steppers' point to the lord as the 'answer to YOUR prayers'...Always with the gospel of how the wicked will be punished for all eternity AFTER DEATH!

I personally have zero use for a 'God' that lets wickedness go unpunished. So imagine how I feel about those who deal in wickedness or preach that vengeance belongs to the totally invisible and completely ineffective 'God'.

This 'fable' was directly responsible for the Dark Ages...but they brush that off to 'unintended consequences', sometimes the ball takes those funny bounces, who knew?

Are we stuck on a treadmill, where the 'superstitious peasant' alternates between slavish devotion and reckless abandon?

Because it is utterly astonishing how quickly the ineffective God can rush back into place like he never left. Worse, when the 'rabidly religious' crawl out of the woodwork like THEY never abandoned their imaginary champion they are thirsty for the blood of the heretics who deny their god's 'righteousness'.

Yup, and now you know where the expression 'between a rock and a hard place' came from.

Letting morons run loose is it's own reward! Only fools think they can be controlled.

Why do you suppose critical thinking skills aren't taught until college?

The answers are manifold but principle among them is the ignorant are more easily manipulated.
