Two Cubed

I truly enjoy games and puzzles. Good ones will make you struggle as you grapple with its intricacies. I use to believe that the outcomes could only be measured in dualistic terms (success/failure) because we are then able to label ourselves as either winners or losers. How charming. The action itself is the reward, not the outcome. The outcome signals finality and it is a necessary component of all games. Another aspect of all games is the competition is played to stated rules and an even playing environment with stated boundaries. Participants themselves assume all risks to themselves by their participation. Life is not a game.

People that view their existence as a competition in a grand game are delusional and dangerous. Metaphorically, life is a game, but in this context it is assumed that the "players" are still bound by their own sense of fairness and that the outcome for these "players" is growth. It is solitaire and as stated above the "players" assumes the risk of their participation. One player equals one possible injury. People who use non-players in their game have no conception of the injury they cause and if they did and continue then they have no conscience.

These are people who have usurped their positions of trust and traded it for the psychophant's existence. Doom is a word that comes to mind whenever I see one of these "talking heads" spout his or her verbal diarhea to the masses. We have chosen safety and convenience at the cost of our souls and have become pawns in an insane game of global power. Do not think for a moment that these "players" will sully their hands with anything remotely resembling the causes for which they claim.

They are destroyers. They are fearmongers. There is no creativity in them and for this they are bitter. Their cries of war and death apply to those who are different from them and if history and logic are a guide then they will begin "eating" their own when the inevitable collapse of their projection occurs. You will know these people by their silent submission or their raving lunacy. I shake my head at the willful blindness of my fellow pawns and in hushed tones ask, "when will the sleeper awaken?"

Happy New Year

2008. This will be an interesting year. Don't be fooled by the derailment of our government and economy as these were mere stepping stones to the obvious agenda of a corporate feudal police state. They hate us for our freedom.

Yeah, yeah, I know it is a month late to be saying happy new year, but one minute I was basking in the glow of "war on xmas" firefight and the next minute some damn gopher is predicting the weather (more winter.)

I'm out of here...

Revolution Number Nine

Now, let's see if I (the american) can reach into my cultural steam trunk and fish around for an example of American Exceptionalism. Ah, here it is... Alright, who's been shitting on The Constitution again. Why, the Preamble has a most putrid smell emanating from the brownish smudges that I believe were words at one time.

Is it me? I can no longer tolerate the level of discourse that passes for wisdom in this willfully ignorant nation. WE THE PEOPLE have little or no conception of the reasons we allow governments to be established in the first place. (hint hint: it is not to protect corporations and confuse it with foreign policy.) The stain of complacency, greed and fear has reduced US THE PEOPLE to the role of spectator and a number to be taxed because, face it folks, we are delusional; content in our false belief of greatness and virtue.

Scratched into the drying excrement that covers the first paragraph of The Constitution is:

"New Preamble"
We, the corporate overlords and our lackeys and psychophants, in order to form a more orderly society for our continuing benefit hold that governments must be created to legitimize our plutocratic authority, establish pay as you go, we'll make it up as we go Justice, insure domestic Tranquility by surveillance, random searching, expanding police powers and private security, provide that the commoners in the armed forces will Defend american corporate global interests until they too our privatized, promote the general Welfare by relabeling it special Welfare and using it to enable american corporate global interests, and secure for ourselves the Blessings of Tyranny by mortgaging our posterity and leaving the bill for the people's children and grandchildren and they can secure their own liberties after taxes. We also ordain and establish the right to make shit up and call it defending the Constitution for the USA.

There really are not many options left to us at this late juncture. A "storming the Bastille" moment is needed, yet highly unlikely. Our government has forsaken its people and any pretense of our "noble and just" position in the world is pure crap. The source of our greatness is raw, naked and brutal power. This is compounded by a ruling class that is devoid of originality and a host of lackeys who are quite frankly incompetent. We are definitely in for some interesting times. The elephant, bear, bull and donkey will leave quite a mess before they are through. My hope is that there will be something left. I believe we are at an evolutionary branch where our species' survival will rest on the degree of damage our desperate masters leave in the wake of their demise. The "Resources War" phase of the "Great World War" has begun and I don't believe anyone has noticed.

"You say you want a revolution, well, you know, we all want to change the world."

PHD plus one: And Two Criminal Events Later

There was a time when I took information at face value and went along for the ride. This was and remains the most damaging of reckless behaviors and one in which I quit "cold turkey" a year before I took up less damaging reckless behaviors. I bring this up to remind, yeah right, to educate a nation of Ignoramus' (if that is at all possible.) The policies of the US government in its global relations with Japan (thwarting Japanese imperialism while expanding US imperialism) were the primary causes for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor 65 years ago. Euro-US imperialism was and continues to be driven by racism and xenophobia.

WTF question # 1.) Compare and contrast the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor with the US invasion/occupation of Iraq in 2003.

WTF question # 2.) If you voted for Bush in 2004 and you still believe he is a competent president, why should you be allowed to ever vote again, let alone breed or, Zeus help us, raise a family? If you've changed your mind about this vote of yours in 2004, then you can go fuck yourself because you are a lazy thinker, if you think at all. What convinced you that you fucked up?

WTF question # 3.) What is more important, SECURITY or LIBERTY? why?

WTF question # 4.) Make two lists of the reasons (justifications) for this administration's invasion/occupation of Iraq. Label the first one "Official" and label the second list "An educated guess or something I pulled out of my ass."

WTF question # 5.) Based upon correct responses and well reasoned essays from the questions above, why in the hell are the people who are responsible for this mother of all clusterfucks still making decisions instead of being impeached and jailed for war crimes?

People, I don't want to play this game anymore. You have been deluded into believing that this is the greatest nation to have ever been in all of history. I know this because I just graded your WTF test and your critical thinking skills are minimal, your knowledge of history is pathetic, and your acquiescence in destroying the Constitution and perverting the Golden Rule makes you one ignorant prick. This ignorance coupled with an insanely rabid arrogance is the most disturbing feature of the 25%ers. It is not ok to be stupid. It is terrifying to take pride in your stupidity.

In the Name of Love

On the eleventh day of the eleventh month at the eleventh hour the guns were silenced and the world became still. The fall of the monarchies was complete and Old Europe was destroyed. Will the capitalists death rattle doom a planet? Sadly, yes...

I fear this as much as I fear a cage. I would gladly accept a cage to avoid this. I may end up in a cage because of it. There is an inevitability about this scenario that is beyond the most fervent hoping, wishing and praying. There is also a sense of karmic justice to it also. A superpower ruled and populated by the willfully ignorant can not remain so for any lengthy period of historical time without history extracting its just due. A nation born under hypocrisy and nurtured with myth will succumb to nature no matter how energetic her citizens are. Ironically, because of the myth and the buried immorality of this "god-fearing" nation, the end will assuredly surprise its denizens.

So, keep punching that clock and watching that tube because it doesn't get any better than this. The rats will start leaving the ship soon and that will be the final clue that the house of cards is falling. It won't be pretty by any measure as the ensuing chaos will surely spread and engulf the planet in a maelstrom of violence as nations splinter into factions and survival becomes paramount.

The question remains as to when, for the how has been determined. This, my friends, can not be answered with precision. In fact, an alternative outcome would be the rise of a perfected fascism as a sort of corporate feudalism whereby the splintering of the large nations would entail loyalty or servitude to a corporation, trust or, god help us, a church, cult, etc... I don't even want to bring nuclear weapons into my analysis just yet, because the thought of Pepsi nuking Coke just boggles my brain.

I have to stop this doomsaying before it begins to effect my psyche and I begin to talk to myself.

"What's that, you say you want to preserve your sanity?"

"Well, yes, I think."

"Why?"

Where is the Horse and the Rider?

So... it has come to this. The end run past the popular will should not be a surprise to anyone who breathes. Freedom's just another word for Slavery. In our minds we grasp the daily distortion and know at our deepest level of subconscious that something is terribly wrong. We all feel it; there is no escape from our national psychosis. We have leaders who fiddle as Rome burns and in the depths of their souls they know no other alternative. They feel the approaching doom and waste little countenance on it. After all, it is they who create our reality and in a world commanded by the perfect idiots there are no flaws in this reality. There are no questions. There is no introspection. There is a course that is set and there will be no deviation.

I have walked this path before. It is altogether horrifying anyway for this road leads to a precipice that isn't discriminate. Dark paths emerge as the world ebbs into darkness. Who will survive retrograde and devolution? Stagnation, decay and corruption are the standards of our time and we consume.

The tipping point is here. Will the inhuman 25% drag us into their apocalypse? Sadly, I am of little faith. I have no sense of belonging to this place or time. We are walking through wet cement and we believe it to be normal. I'd pray for your souls if it wouldn't drive me to despair. My belief in a just and merciful god was destroyed long ago. Power has won and with this I am truly and finally amused. The irony of authoritative rule will be lost on them; even to the end.

Too long Away from the Fray

Wow, I just looked and saw how long it has been; fuck it. I write when I want and that is that. Well, I expected the shit to come down someday and it is going as planned. My friends, I am alone and I am a son of a bitch when I am alone. Mom, forgive me. Fuck these arrogant republican assholes in their fucking backsides.
I usually reserve indifference for my not-so-close friends. Hate is reserved for final scenes. The crime family formerly known as the republicans has incurred all the wrath I have previously reserved for that most wholesome of family values groups (the mafia.) Hell, I can't tell the fucking difference. Big, little men-children who think they rule the world. What a pathetic group. Your families die as you do; in a state of nothingness. Your women breed chafe. Your BIG ideas mean diddley-squat in the course of things.
How many made men does it take to screw a light bulb? All of them, because they never met anything as bright or as clever. Fuck you GUMBAS; plague upon anything Italian. You deserve your rich ivory caskets. Your satin lined cuffs for your severed hands. Your Cadillacs filled with bullets. Your funerals brightly lit by other crooks. Your noses broken and filled with the scent of ambrosia. Your knees capped and golden.
The Englishmen are doomed as you have been.
Time takes its time...
