White people! ROTFLMFAO

I should have gone into real estate because white people apparently can be sold ANYTHING with "front" as the second syllable in a made up word such as "oceanfront, lakefront, riverfront & even if the river is "lava".

Cuz white people is the only ones that I saw interviewed on tv that apparently knowingly bought "volcano front property" in Hawaii apparently for the view and the cheap power, they said. & of course they were all so "So devastated" by their loss.

 Though I pride myself being a non-hateful, compassionate person I still felt gleeful listening to them on TV whine about their loss until one "victim" of the "tragedy" whined so much I screamed at the TV "YOU BOUGHT A HOME ON NOT ONLY  A VOLCANO BUT ONE THE MOST ACTIVE VOLCANO ON THE PLANET, DIPSH**!. I BET YOU PAID MORE FOR THE "Active VOLCANOFRONT" property too!" (they paid less , actually, I found out later)and then punched the off button on the remote because there were no good video shots of lava devouring homes, just a bunch of crybaby morons.

And none of the usually judgmental press said jack about the stupidity. Maybe I should have watched FOX news for some clarity. They aren't shy of ridiculing and bashing real victims of certain kinds, but then of course they manufacture "victims" out of the rich and privileged class as well. 

Well i guess I didn't miss much because somehow though I don't feel that a "Network"  that vilifies  Democrats for made up reasons instead of the real ones to do so, which not incidentally are the same reasons they should be attacking their beloved Republicans.  Of course that criticism applies in reverse to CNN, CBS, ABC,NBC, Sky News, BBC,, in fact all real network news except sometimes Aljazeera  as well: "all the news that isn't really news or helpful to anyone but we make it seem like it is" should be all their motos.

consensual mind control

MOST PEOPLE HAVE YOUR HEADS UP YOUR ARSES (FB). Explained: You let politicians, the media, organizations,peers, & celebrities think for you most of you being completely without introspection & cognitive discipline. as a result you routinely let Politicians, peers & various media shape your thoughts, ideas & opinions & manipulate your choices of everything by appealing to your biases fears & prejudices. & true to form, you're not even paying attention when they start by always telling you how wonderful you are, followed by pointing to something external usually another group of people (fear mongering) as being the source of your problems or something you should desire. So the real problem with the world IS YOU looking to others for reassurance that You're wonderful & what you should worry about rather than demanding accurate truthful information that you could use to form your VERY OWN (imagine that!) opinions & decisions instead of accepting them of others on FB, the Internet and TV. It's history repeated over & over in county after country. In fact It's exactly ******'s plot: first he told the Germans how wonderful they were, that they were the master race& then called for the imprisonment & extermination of other races & ethnic minorities as "The Final Solution."
But back to my first statement about arses: The Big Arse nearly all of you have your head up is the social media, FB, (Twitter, Pinterest and the rest) going "Hey look at me, what's trending, "follow this","like that," "You're wonderful just the way you are." "look at me daddy, look at what I'm doing" ,FOLLOWER FEST."

Just now

OMG IMVU censored H itle r and Probably would N az i too. Exactly what this post is about about, CONSENSUAL MIND CONTROL. I bet NOBODY reads this post or even cares because it doesn't have any "Likes" on FB

This was a draft and I am adding this final thought, that I have long held, before publishing it: try as I might to educate other grownups about their ignorant insistence that there are two sides to every issue and the other side are all evil liars with the truth that both sides are lying for the purposes of obtaining power through the control of  the thoughts of many like them, that the source of all power in all human endeavors is in membership, I can never get through to them while I watch them osmosis like absorb every bit of false, hateful, fear-mongering tripe spewed by their side and parroted as if it is their very own thoughts.

 I even have this vision of everyone walking around with a toilet lid on the top of their skulls there just for any control freak, including conspiracy mongers, race baiters, political hopefuls and commentators and pundits of all types to lift up, sit their arses down on and crap into their heads just about anything no matter how bizarre, improbable or contrary to actual fact, AS LONG AS IT HAPPENS TO CORRESPOND WITH  WITH THEIR DEARLY HELD personal "truths" AKA secret fears and prejudices, while I don't have a tinker's chance in hell of sitting my butt down on that seat and pooping one single word of truth into their bathroom plumbing fixture heads.

Their totally denied, deeply  buried  fears that spawn all sorts of unreasoned morally & intellectually bankrupt prejudiced feelings, beliefs & thoughts about everything from politics to race and sexual orientation all the while, if they are male, claiming "I ain't sceered 'o nuttin'" precludes even the possibility of absorbing anything resembling the truth, let alone going to the polls and changing the political landscape by casting  an informed, fearless vote for the truly worthy candidate (IF such an animal even exists & actually is running) who brings up very important topics instead of the myriad of distractions like the "ground 0 mosque" &  lame attacks and excuses to  bombing another middle east country for profit.

Anarchist's folly

I love the ignorance and stupidity of supposed intellectuals who embrace anarchism with the notion that government is bad and society or individuals would be better off without it.

As I've repeatedly pointed out, all institutions look great on paper and none work in reality except for the few privileged that twist everything to their advantage. So the institution isn't the problem, people are the problem. There will always be those people among us, no matter where we are, how we govern or don't govern ourselves, who will exploit to their advantage whatever system exists . Furthermore, there has to be a system if we want to keep the things we have and not go back to the caves, but even in the caves there was a system & people taking advantage of others.  In fact, government rose out of the need. In the cave brute force ruled until societies evolved and put a stop to it. A major part of that society was the need for governance, authority in disputes, etc. In fact, if you are not a fricking moron, you realize that that is why government came into being, to regulate all the assholes (us, you , I). But of course, the next step is for the assholes to take over the government and bend it to their self centered wills and greed (and bullshit the rest of us into believing they have our interests at heart). To put it simply to the anarchist: government isn't the root of the problem, you are (people). People are the government & what causes it to be unjust, bad, tyrannical, whatever. But since we are the government, there is no government without people.Therefore, if the idiotic pseudo-intellectual anarchists wants no government the solution is simple: kill everybody. So the real solution is to have a government in which the cream of society (intellectually and morally speaking) run for and win the political offices that govern us. I'm talking about people such as Noam Chomsky and other writers and thinkers and not the assorted ex-actors, attorneys, wrestlers, singers, generals, career politicians and assorted other half-wits, crooks, perverts, puppets and thieves that we have to vote for now.

National issues in a Nutshell

   Post Script to blog post below:  LOL, now I've thought about it a bit more, I  realize that the thesis of my writing below buys into the lie that cuts in corporate taxes creates jobs. But this is just a popular myth propagated by our scurrilous politicians & their cohorts in the  "news" networks. My basic college education (in journalism, which is how I know how bad our news media is) tells  me that the idea is patently false that tax cuts on big business creates jobs. In fact, this is merely part of the the "rosey scenario" (described below) that politicians & the news media paint on behalf of their rich corporate bosses. Actually, the only thing that creates jobs in a capitalistic society is the balance between  supply and demand. Even my mother, who is a 1956 high school graduate, knows this. When demand outstrips supply, suppliers react by immediately raising the price of the goods or service and followed by increasing the supply if that's possible. At that point, efforts to increase the supply may include plans to expand infrastructure and/or hire more people, depending on the type of industry and the existing infrastructure. So logically, the only tax cut that will reliably spur job creation is tax cuts on consumers of goods and services. Then the consumers go to the marketplace, spend the tax return on a broad variety of goods and services, which in turn creates more general demand that may outstrip the supply of a broad range of services and goods, possibly leading to the creation of many more jobs over a broad range of industries to meet that demand. So the corporations do not need more tax cuts, consumers do.
 My original post:
     How come politicians, neither Republicans, nor Democrats ever talk about tax cuts for the rich and corporations IF they've created new jobs that year?
       Instead, both sides, at one time or another, talk about and hand out the tax cuts AS IF it's a conclusion that doing so creates U.S. jobs. However, a frequent guest on CNN today pointed out that 'if tax cuts in recent years for corporations creates jobs, then we'd be up to our wazoos in jobs by now'. What he didn't say, what neither the politicians nor the press ever point out in the same story about tax cuts and job creation, is that the jobs ARE created- but only overseas where labor is dirt cheap. Not only that, but the government hands out even more tax cuts to ship more jobs oversees.
           The reason they do that is because the majority of our politicians in both parties are owned by the large corporations & industries & told "cut our taxes" no matter what. So our politicians real job is painting rosey pictures of their back room deals with the industries & corporations (intent on breaking the back of American workers for profit) public consumption. They are aided in that by the "news" networks (CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN,FOX, CNBC,MSNBC) which all acknowledge that their paychecks come from the very same corporate interests, but disingenuously & falsely claim that the accuracy & quality of their news reporting is not affected. So the bottom line is that when they (news networks, politicians, corporate mouthpieces all) talk about cutting taxes again for coporations & rich people, they always leave out the recent news that two thirds of the large U.S. corporations last year, which made healthy profits, did not pay any taxes at all!
     And to add insult to injury, they talk about more tax cuts on these corporations (that don't pay taxes now & haven't created significant jobs in this country over the last 10 years)  as being a definitive job creating mechanism, implying that it is for U.S. citizens (if you move to China and work for 1 yen a day or more if you are a soldier and even much more if a contractor in one of our wars).
           But we should listen closely to what they always leave out when painting this fantasy scenario: They leave out in what country and for whom the jobs are created, leaving us to assume it's for us (ahhhh, the fine science of political rosey picture painting)! So what is the chance that some day soon, our politicians pass tax cuts for the rich and powerful only IF they've already created jobs that year and not because "maybe" they will? They are law makers and can pass a law that gives out tax cuts to corporations that create jobs for Americans in America. But they never will as long as they can keep things the way they are handing over money to the rich while painting rosey scenarios about how they work for you and I and not Them.


                                       

How to vote or how not to vote. This is the question

In the last election were you confuse about who to vote for? Were you trying to weigh what everybody had to say about the candidates before making your decisions? If so, that was your worst mistake. Below is my sound, experienced advice for potential voters whether you are affiliated with the Tea Party , Dems, Reps, independents, progressives (whatever because none apply to what I have to say). Rather than being for voters with a specific party affiliation, this advice is for anybody who is intelligent enough to understand the merit of what I am saying & has enough regard for others to want to cast a vote for the common good of all.

     Here is my advice: First and foremost: Don't listen to  anything  anybody has to say about any candidate. I say this because anything negative about any candidate is either coming from the opposition, whose job it is to make the candidate look bad or coming indirectly from them through your friends and colleagues with whom you discuss politics. Conversely, the same is true for anyone saying good things about the candidate! So don't listen to them either. Their job is to make the candidate look good and and they've influenced people who are trying to influence your decision at polling time.

     Instead, listen to the candidates & your own perception of the candidates as you weigh how they behave and speak. Listen to the candidates every chance you get & to determine if they are addressing the issues that are important. Are they actually talking about substantive issues in a meaningful way or are they just talking a lot about nothing & repeating vague platitudes about ephemeral things like "the American Way" & "justice for all." Are they continuously bashing their opponent or do they seem to be masters of doublespeak? Or are they talking about their  plans to do the job if elected & do the seem sincere& honest? If you tune out all the BS, all the lies, all the news media commentary and opinions and let the candidates speak for themselves, it becomes easy to differentiate between the charlatans who just want the power & prestige & the candidates who have an altruistic motivation for seeking the office. But to cast a vote for the common good, your mind can't be polluted by the self-centered, racism & greed & ethnocentric hatred that they throw at Obama like he is Hitler, a nigger, a socialist etc.They hiss "Muslim"  about him, trying to control your vote by playing on your irrational fears about those thing. So along with my advice not to listen to anyone but the candidate, I will say that this only works if you've cleared your mind of all the irrational fears mentioned above. Because if you still harbor them at poll time, you're either a puppet casting the votes your puppet masters want you to cast, or you 're a selfish, self-centered SOB who cares for no one but yourself (in other words, you're an average American).

     So, all you need to cast a good vote is to not be influenced by all the garbage spread about candidates & you need to quell your irrational fears so your choices can't be manipulated by others. The last thing is that you need only listen to the candidates themselves.  If you maintain an open mind and listen to only what the candidates say and nobody else, and look to them for speaking the truth & being, sincere & candid, I promise you that more often than not, you can reach a choice on your own that is yours and as good or better than anyone else's choice.  That's because, you know what? Most people let their minds get polluted by the enormous amount of pure horseshit that is thrown around in these campaigns due to two factors: their ignorance & their irrational fears that allow them to believe, for example that all Muslims are terrorists and Christianity is superior, being conveniently devoid of terrorism throughout it's entire history despite such events as the killings & bombing in the abortion industry by avowed Christians; the Oklahoma Courthouse Bombing by Timothy McVeigh; David Koresh and his cult; the years of Christian-on-Christian terrorism in Ireland, The Salem Witch Trials and the Spanish Inquisition to name just a few blemishes. 
     But if you've tuned out all the crap & have just listened to the candidates, come voting time, you're much more qualified than most people to cast a good vote. Don't listen to stuff about the candidate, listen to the candidate. Anybody saying things about the candidates cannot and should not be trusted because they either work for them or against them and are getting paid to either build the candidate up or tear him/her down.

      This advice is not comprehensive and will not guide you through an entire ballot of obscure offices and unknown candidates for positions you didn't know existed, but at the very least it will help you to make your own decision on a few races that are important to you.
                                                   

The kids are all right

The events in Egypt are tragic but at least all our troubles went there! It nice to tune into cable news CNN, FOX, CNBC and see that all our troubles (news) migrated to Egypt and nothing is happening here. No more shootings,deaths,corrupt politicians or lazy,stupid good-for-nothing journalists!& don't worry about Egypt either! It will be just fine when the next youngish celebrity suddenly dies!
