Still here

As the title implies I'm still alive and kicking.  Just been wrapped up in the non-digital life.  I've been reading yinz posts and lurking as of late, just haven't had the time or the drive to comment/post recently.  So no need to worry (or cheer?) yet, I'm still stuck on this crazy train for the foreseeable future.  And who wouldn't want to be stuck in the US of A now, things are just getting interesting!  We've got occupiers on the march, european markets spinning towards collapse, drone murders galore, more drum beating for genocide in Iran, and the bullshit frenzy of presidential theater!

You guys keep up the great posts, and my ganjafied brain will keep trying to absorb and relay the messages.

 Oh and Arthur is back, check in with him and drop some coin if you can spare it.

Brother shamus, er juan cole

neoliberal asshole spookmaiden

A dick, man!  And let me tell you something: I dig your work. Playing one side against the other--in bed with everybody--fabulous stuff, man.

Help a buddy out

Arthur and Wendy could use your help.

If you still have some change after that throw it Dennis's way. 

Plenty of other writers could use the help too, so give where you can.

Crow has spawned some more interesting debates as usual, so check this out when you can.

I also recommend IOZ's post on the true essence of america, war.



 

End game coming into focus

Crow recently spoke of the breaking of buffers, and I agree it does seem ominous.  Arthur seems to validate this as well: the brutality of imperial war abroad is now visiting us at home.  The state sees ecological disaster and peak cheap oil barreling towards it.  The elite are now in a mad dash for the last bit of wealth, and portions of the population that could be used as tools or buffers are no longer worth the cost of maintaining them (social security, public health care, etc).  Unless you are a state courtier or corporate elite, you are now superfluous.  Your digital words alone are now enough cause for the state to imprison you for fucking years.  Steal 5 dollars worth of water, get six months in prison.  Humans don't matter, only property and the owners of said property.  That is what the state has to offer us: prison and early violent death.  As darker times surely await us in the coming years, it's important to remember that we always have the capacity to say no.  It can be said loudly in the form of rioting, or softly in the form of not voting in a evil and corrupt system.  So as election 2012 madness starts to engulf all media, try to turn the TV off, have a conversation with other humans, and whatever you do, don't waste your time worrying about who will be the next emperor.    

God Save the Police State, er the Queen

yuppie scum

As I commented at IOZ's today, these people will fight till their last breath to defend a system that enslaves them.

Don't forget to bring your police some tea and snacks now!

cream and sugar officer?

And if you seek insight into looter origins, look no further than the bbc:

Burn baby burn.

Winning the Future

In celebration of obamafucker's 50th, the passing of debt ceiling theater, and market jubilation!

In other news....

IOZ is back with a vengeance!  I think I like the new IOZ even more:

Yea verily, I have returned unto you to put it straight to yinz: there is no tea party; there are no Democrats; there is no America. There is only global capital. There is no keeping American competitive for the future against the Chinese children of the math-science learning gap to win tomorrow today with the power of innovation. There is a single transnational elite whose allegiance is to itself. They would've fucked you on Saturday; they'll fuck you next Wednesday instead. There was no debt crisis. THERE IS NO DEBT CEILING. You are like prisoners in a concentration camp, tearing each other apart over crusts of bread. The guards check their rifles. The kommandant shtups his mistress. The carrion birds circle against the concrete sky.

You must destroy the rich.

Also, check out this from Crow.

And Arthur Silber.

And Marisacat.

Mission Accomplished, for reals this time

We Did It!

This is the big guns as far as propaganda goes... makes one wonder how desperate they really are to pull this shit out of the bag so early.  Over a million people slaughtered over the last decade and your average american might shrug or frown.  Today control announces they have shot one more arab in the head and americans pour into the streets with tears of joy as they try to reach jingoistic orgasm.

Obamafucker revels with glee in the spotlight now.  Who knows if they really got him, or if he died several years ago.  It doesn't even matter as far as the empire is concerned.  What is assured, is that this train wreck called america will continue its now quickening slide into oblivion.  Wars will continue, expand, and give bloody birth to new wars.  The corporate state will consolidate more power, not give up recent acquisitions.  The terror war will march valiantly forward.  The 1%ers will devour more wealth while the great unwashed starve.  Lobotomized american college kids will fall in love with obamafucker all over again.  The patriot act will live on.  You will still be treated like shit in the airport.  Bradley Manning will continue to rot away without trial, without charges.  Wall street banksters will continue making ridiculous money.  Fake elections will come and go.  Assassinations will continue.  Kill teams run by morlocks will multiply.  Proconsul petraus will morph seamlessly from pentagon killer to spook killer.  Obamafucker will add many new names to his kill list, and then slate those poor souls for destruction based on his gut feeling after a spook powerpoint.  In other words, the earth continues to turn.
