The Kleptocratic Empire
Soon it will be time to make more things to steal. --wp
No use breaking down the SOTU in terms of empty phrases, gaseous rhetoric and lip-service.
That's been going on ever since most of us can remember. But the package HAS changed a little bit. Very little bowf bowf rowrr about terrists and the enumees of feedom and mockracy. Lots of steaming shite about "innovation" and "education." Oboe say: "... we will reach the goal I set two years ago: by the end of the decade, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.'
From the perspective of a paper-hat education worker, that would be useless as buns on a stone rabbit. Not that there's anything wrong with college-educated gardeners and trash-collectors... as long as gardening and trash-collection pays a living wage. The idea that USAns are going to be process-managers for the world is dead as Ronzo Raygun. Time to redirect "profits" towards workers instead of investors... so more of us have something to "invest."
And we all know the "innovation" song: give me a completely new idea with a proven track record, guaranteed success and zero risk. Most of us old hippies have told a boss to pack that one in the pooter at least once. And we've probably been "underemployed" ever since.
So Bammo is in the same position... and the poor drone almost fell through his own asshole bending over backward to be "business friendly." Well, ok, how bout them solar shingles? Is that our "Sputnik Moment," or is this just more Joe-the-Plumber shit? Fine, then let's nationalize the rail system and put a bunch of those smeggers atop every single high-speed rail depot we fantasize about.
Let's build them in every town over 100,000 and make sure the rail system goes there. Let's start "educating" people to build and install them... in college or wherever... as a part of de-centralization and re-localization. And it has to come from somewhere... which means the "war budget."
From now on, let every jingo-flag war-toy fetishist get a cactus up the bum backwards and plugged with a nice "right-sized" Dole Pineapple.
How's THAT for fucking "innovation?"
Nice sentiments Waldopaper. Especially like the flowery descriptions.
ReplyDeleteKick ass Waldo. I heard enough of Obammy's speach right here...{grin}
ReplyDeleteWho I want to talk to is the organ grinder not the monkey. And I want the guy duct taped head down but face up on a slanted table. And then we'll talk "business".
That's the way they do business as I have come to understand.

I couldn't bear to watch the SOTU address. Of course, I've seen the gist of what he said .."gaseous rhetoric" about sums it up Waldo.
ReplyDeleteHe said...blah blah blah.. the banksters are doin' great..blah blah blah ...we spent too much bailing them out ...blah blah blah ..so now we have to tighten our belts..blah blah blah.. which means deep cuts on the little guy ..blah blah blah.....
The following is a comment by Lion on Rumormillnew.com. He makes a couple of salient points to consider, so I thought I would post it here:
ReplyDelete---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many of the words he spoke did not appear to have his body language and eye movement backing them up. This I say from observation of his body language particularly when he was discussing "rich guy" and corporate taxes. And when he spoke of lobbyists and earmarks, most of the grimacing came from camera pans on mcCain, Shelby and other fat cat senators.
Obummer's eyes seem to say that he relished the fat cats squirming, but he fully understands that these crooks get their real paychecks from the lobby/earmark practice and that will not stop either. He would never veto a paycheck to any corporate board member regardless of party.
Most who read RMN realize that the event was little more than a televised corporate board room meeting, where the real agenda is worked out in private conversations with mutual backscratches (and possibly other acts,:) as well as IOU's.
It is truly amazing to me that so many do not realize the distinction between The UNITED STATES Corporation, which board meeting we witnessed last night, and the United States of America, the true republic of States, the people of which have never relinquished their right to exist, or their God-given freedoms to any Corporation posing as a demigod.
Soon, friends, very soon, enough people will awaken to make a very great difference. Don't give up and don't freak out. The US Corporation is terminally bankrupt, and their is NO WAY we the people are liable for any corporation's debts, just like the people who worked for GM are not liable for it's debts.
A national debt is a national debt and we the people owe not a single penny, and those bastards know it. Don't let them con you into believing you are responsible for their misdeeds.
I don't know about you, but I never got any say about the Trillions they blew.

ReplyDeleteGreat assessment of the 'state of the nation'.
Thanks for posting this Boom.

WP! Back from the digs. Great.
ReplyDeleteIf we build it, will they come? It could get messy with all the CIAlis and Horny Goat running around.
Willie that was a board meeting Tuesday night for sure. BAU 100%. Rob America. Now let's get the kids educated so they can replenish the coffers.
CNN made a big deal of the teaparty response and Bachmann's teleprompter angle. Barry had his head swinging left and right to dual teleprompters like a dashboard bobblehead all night with that certain committee cock upright he does so well.
Okay, I'll say it Barry......GUN!
Ha! Perfect description of McCain, Boomer. :)
ReplyDeleteSlipcraft could be one answer. Slipcraft are small vehiles designed to move in slipspace... and Slipcraft is also a method (or craft) of being everywhere "they" ain't (which is Slipspace). For example, permaculture gardens for food production replacing industrial monoculture... a change in diet, priorities, transportation... everything... including a spiritual re-awakening based on a literary (not komik book) interpretation of text. Micro-"culture," off-the-"grid." Underground "economy."
ReplyDeleteMaybe it begins with the paradigm that "government" isn't just ferked up... it's GONE. It doesn't exist... like the Sandy Klaws komik book "god." Government exists in the consent of the governed... like God exists in the mysteries of the Universe.
"Maybe it begins with the paradigm that “government” isn’t just ferked up… it’s GONE. It doesn’t exist…"~Waldo
ReplyDeleteThat has been my headspace for decades. It's been pretty easy to just ignore it...or it wuz...the syndicate beez asqueezin now tho'.
Glad to see you back here Woowoo. Don't be such a stranger. Aye?
