Dear Charles Koch

Dear Charles Koch,

You truly are a sad, pathetic, narcissist.

The op-ed you wrote in the Wall St. Journal was the single most glaringly ABHORRENT thing I've read since MEIN KAMPF!

Let me point something out... something that you are OBVIOUSLY oblivious of, apparently...

YOU WERE BORN RICH, YOU SPOILED, BLUEBLOOD FUCK!!!

YOU are the new public face of “Affluenza”!



You have ABSOLUTELY no idea how the other side lives, so don't come to me talking about your “principles,” because YOUR (completely soulless, immoral, anti-ethical) “principles” don't mean a fuck to me.

You have CORRUPTLY PURCHASED governments on all levels, all the way down to SMALL SCHOOL BOARDS!

You pump your oil all over the world's lands and waters.

You pay POVERTY WAGES at your corporations.

You work to KICK people who are already down.

You (and your shitty brother) are the most morally and intellectually corrupt individuals since MOUSILLINI!

You may have billions in (several) banks (many of which you hide so you don't have to pay your fair share on them, you thieving fucks), but with regards to your behavior, you're completely and totally ETHICALLY bankrupt!

You worship Ayn Rand, because you feel it entitles you to have no conscience about the things you do...

Well, why don't you be more like John Galt...

… and just...

… fuck off...

… go away...

… leave...

… we don't want you OR your shitty companies...

… just take your money and fuck off...

… seriously.

You (so-called) “Libertarians” are supposed to believe that “your freedom ends where mine begins,” but with your corruption of the nation's governments, you have shown that you actually don't agree with that.  You seem to think that you can do whatever you want to THE REST OF US, but that we can't have anything to say or do about it.

To put this into context, you fucking hypocrite, this means you are essentially saying “Your freedom never begins because mine never ends.”

If you TRULY believed that, you would just take your shitty money, build your own shitty island, and keep to yourself, sustainably, so you don't have to rely on anyone else.

Instead, you take everything you can from everyone else (yes... I'm saying YOU'RE the “taker”), and walk all over everyone else to do it.

So, here's my proposal...

Do it... just go fuck off to your own island... leave society... take your shitty brother with you, so you can yacht between each others islands... and leave the rest of us the fuck alone...

… or else...

Google the date “14 July, 1789” for more info.

Here's a hint:



You've NEUTERED our government's ability to act against you, by buying enough of it off... but THE PEOPLE are pissed... your tyranny won't stand much longer... THE PEOPLE won't allow it.

So, in closing, allow me to sum up my commentary thusly:

      -You're a fucking narcissist.
      -You're a fucking Blueblood.
      -You're WORSE than that "Affluenza" kid (HE only killed FOUR people... you're responsible for
        THOUSANDS)
      -Fuck off.
      -Go away.
      -Leave.
      -You're a fucking hypocrite.
      -Fuck off.
      -Picture of a guillotine.

Pray we never meet face-to-face.

John Roberts and SCROTUS: America's Festering Hemorrhoid



Our Supreme Court has dissolved into a pathetic catastrophe.

Yesterday's blatantly CORRUPT decision regarding CORRUPTION was another abomination from a Court I have entirely lost faith in.

John Roberts' writing of the decision was reminiscent of the graven messages left by the “Lipstick Killer,” William Heirens.

Heirens had a compulsion to kill, that he couldn't control.  He was given the nickname “The Lipstick Killer,” by leaving messages on the walls of his victims' bedrooms written in lipstick, reading “For heaven's sake catch me before I kill more.  I cannot control myself.”



Here's what I mean by that...

John Roberts wrote the decision HIMSELF.  In it, he basically said that in order to prove corruption or bribery, you have to PHYSICALLY CATCH money changing hands ON VIDEO, in order for it to be confirmed as corruption.

“Justice” Roberts, though, must have gotten this little tip from the Koch brothers, when he spoke at one of their anal-tongue-cleansing seminars (loosely billed as “conferences”).  He would have NEEDED that tip to deal with a guilty conscience, seeing as how he was about to make SEVERAL decisions in their favor, while completely ignoring the Constitution.

Let's be honest, though... there are more people in SCROTUS than JUST Roberts, who is actually SMALL POTATOES when you compare his corruption to that of “Justice” Uncle Thomas.

We should have known this guy would be an insufferable, worthless douchebag during the Anita Hill hearings... but the problem is, we have too many other insufferable, worthless misogynists in America, who decided that she must have been lying because she's a woman.  Honestly, that's the ONLY reason he was confirmed.  He's a misogynist, and he appealed to all the other American misogynists.

Before becoming a “Justice,” Thomas was a Corporate Lawyer for Monsanto.  Since then, he has never recused himself from judging a Monsanto case, and has found in their favor EVERY FUCKING TIME!!!  I should say, though... what do you expect from the company that used to make AGENT ORANGE for use in Viet Nam?  Obviously, they have no conscience; and neither does Thomas.

Thomas' wife, Ginny, is very politically active in the Tea Party, takes some of her paychecks from the KOCH BROTHERS and other billionaires, who her husband conveniently finds in favor of every time one of them appears before their court.

Thomas has also been caught cheating on his taxes... not reporting all of his income... not reporting parts of his wife's income... more evidence that he doesn't want to get caught being corrupt!

I would take a stab and say that “Justice” Thomas is THE SINGLE MOST CORRUPT SUPREME COURT “JUSTICE” IN AMERICAN HISTORY!  Furthermore, I would argue that there is plenty of evidence to back up that claim.

If the Supreme Court were “Alice in Wonderland,” “Justices” Alito and Scalia would be Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.  I've always seen these two failures of American Education as interchangable.  I've never known them to disagree with each other, and they have the common sense of DRYER LINT, whilst maintaining the intellectual consistency of RUNNY SNOT!

Basically, these two are Theocrats masquerading as “Justices”.  They only believe that ONE religion exists, and that ONLY THAT RELIGION should be granted protection under the law; and that NO other religion matters, because it's not a “real religion,” because it's not what THEY believe.

They are BOTH Creationists, who, as we all know, are absolute fucking morons, with no critical thinking ability whatsoever!

Great... two Creationists sitting on the SUPREME FUCKING COURT... yeah... THAT'S what we need... people with an absolute absence of intellectual integrity... THAT'LL do this country good...

Creationists are archaic, moronic IDIOTS, who have NO BUSINESS being ANYWHERE NEAR law... but we have TWO of them on our HIGHEST COURT (and more than a few on the CONGRESSIONAL SCIENCE COMMITTEE... but that's another rant)!!!



So, here's my question...

Brode's New Bill of Rights


Friends, allow me to make a suggestion... one that goes back to two specific points in our history as a Nation; the writing of the Bill of Rights, and the Presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

The history of our planet has shown that when money stays in one family for a few generations, they start to think that they're BETTER than everyone else!  When they get this bullshit, inflated sense of superiority (otherwise known as "Affluenza"), they get it in their heads that they can just buy the government out from underneath us, because they're somehow more deserving of rights than the rest of us clods.

We saw it during Slavery... we saw it during the robber-baron era... we saw it during the Great Depression... and we've seen it at it's worst in the last 40 years.  

With the levels of corruption that we've seen at all these times, the time has come to say "Enough is enough" and realize that this is a cycle that will only continue, unless it's addressed as the human rights issue that it is!

Therefore, without further ado, here is my solution to the problem of the tyranny of the wealthy!

I hope you agree, and that you take this to heart as a way to improve our Nation.

If they won't play nice, then we have to MAKE THEM play nice!



text:





WE THE PEOPLE of the United States, having formed a great union, deem these Amendments to the Constitution to be necessary.  As the first Bill of Rights addressed the right to be free from tyranny by the government, it has since shown necessary to also address the tyranny of the wealthy upon the poor.

1. Every man and woman of working age has a right to a job that pays them a living wage.

2. Every man, woman, and child has a right to health care, a home, healthy food and clean water.

3. No executive position shall pay more than one-hundred times the annual salary of the lowest-paid position under their charge.  Executive wage increases must be voted on by the workforce.

4. No corporate entity may use legal representation of greater expense than that of the person suing them.

5.  All workers have a right to arbitration for unjust firings.

6.  Privately-run enterprises that are deemed to be “predatory” can be shut down and their assets seized by the United States Government.

7.  The right of the people to be free from persecution by their employers for what they say and express themselves in their private lives.

8.  The right of the people to know what information is gathered about them by corporate or non-profit entities.

9.  The right of the people to be free from Corporate Monopolism.

10.  The top twenty percent of the wealthiest individuals and businesses may not lobby Government at any level.





Well, there you go... was it everything you were hoping for?  Does this look like 10 things that will address the problems that we currently face?  Is this radical enough?  Is this TOO radical?  You tell me...

Dicks, Pussies, and Assholes

Allow me to put the views presented in this piece into context.  This may sound strange, but some of the best advice I've ever heard came from the movie, “Team America: World Police”.



(transcript)

“I hurt people... I'm a dick!”

“Well, bein' a dick ain't so bad.  See, there are three kinds of people; Dicks, Pussies, and Assholes!  Pussies think everyone can get along, and Dicks just wanna fuck all the time without thinkin' it through; but then, you got your Assholes, Chuck.  And all the Assholes want is to SHIT ALL OVER EVERYTHING!  So, Pussies may get mad at Dicks once in a while, because Pussies get fucked by Dicks; but Dicks ALSO fuck Assholes, Chuck!  And if they didn't fuck the Assholes, you know what you'd get?  You'd get your DICK AND YOUR PUSSY ALL COVERED IN SHIT!”



in the grounds of the modern political climate, as I see it.

I'm going to start with the obvious one...

Republicans are Assholes.  There's no other way to put it.  They ONLY care about the rich, and fall just short of a mantra of “FUCK THE POOR!”  They think that they're superior to everyone else because of their religion, their position in society, and their... well... whiteness.

Yes... I'm just going to say it...

The Republican Party has become a White Supremacist Party, regardless of whether or not they realize it or want to admit it!  I don't hear anybody denouncing it... not anymore... I don't hear any calls for decency in the party... all I hear coming from them is,

“If you're not JUST LIKE US, then you don't deserve rights!  You can't vote!  You can't get any help from the government (unless you're rich)!  No Faggots allowed!  No non-Christians allowed!  No Mexicans allowed!  No Darkies allowed (exceptions made for Uncle Toms)!

You must express Nationalistic sentiment at all times!  If you're not wearing at least one article of clothing or jewelry with the American flag on it, you're ANTI-AMERICAN!  Dissent is treason!

ONLY OUR religion matters!  All other religions are PHONY!  You MUST worship OUR religion, or you're not an American!”

Theocratic White Supremacists are Assholes!  Republicans are Theocratic White Supremacists, so that makes them Assholes!



Next group:

Democrats are Pussies.

Not only do they think that everyone can just... get along... they don't understand the concept that

“Respect GRANTED is for respect EARNED!”

So they just let the Republicans get away with all their name-calling, lies, and absolute lunacy and stupidity; believing that they're acting like the “adult in the room.”

Here's the thing, though...

If they want to be the “adult in the room,” then their job, as the adults, is to discipline BRATTY TODDLERS, if their parents have left them in control!  If their parents aren't around, then it becomes YOUR DUTY to see that their parents are informed as to their misbehavior!  If their parents let them keep doing this destructive, antisocial behavior and throwing hissy-fits when they don't get their way, then you have to DISCIPLINE THE PARENTS!

Pussies WANT to be the “adult in the room”, but they're too chickenshit to act when they need to!  All the time they should be ACTING, they sit there waving their finger, saying,

“Now, now... children... settle down... stop throwing things... that's not very nice... please behave... would you do it for your brother?  No?  Please calm down... if we work together, we can clean the house... I know you don't wanna help, but I need you to... that's not very nice; why would you say that about me... OUCH!  NO BITING!... can we please focus on this?  I know you want cookies, but you can't have any right now... settle down... settle down... gosh, why won't you settle down?... that's not very nice...”

All the time, the Pussies don't realize that the parents have given the toddlers COCAINE, and they'll NEVER settle down until they completely crash... and you can FORGET about a nap (for you OR them)!

So, if we have a proliferation of Pussies and Assholes in our Government, where the fuck are the Dicks?

There are a few Dicks... but nowhere near enough to ACTUALLY make a difference.

I would consider Dicks to be people like Alan Greyson, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders... but of those three, only one has the unabashed balls to call things what they are.

Alan Greyson, during the Health “Care” Reform debate, brilliantly and honestly said,

“This is the Republican Party's plan for Health Care:
Step one is, DON'T GET SICK...
… but if you DO get sick...
… the Republican plan is to DIE QUICKLY!”

See what I mean?

Now THAT took balls!  THAT'S the kind of Dick we need more of!

Slap the fuckers down... call them out and make them defend themselves!  Make them prove you wrong!  Say it STRONGLY!  Say it LOUDLY!  If you have to break a few arms and hurt some feelings, SO BE IT!  If that's going to hurt someone's feelings, then maybe that's because YOU'RE RIGHT!

Here's what the Pussies don't realize...



You may not like that, but that doesn't make it any less true.  We're violent, barbaric, meat-eating, gun-collecting, “shoot 'em if yer wronged”, cage-fighting worshipers of sadism and war.  Our entertainment and our history is all you need to prove that fact.  Bear in mind, the second we honkeys set foot on Plymouth Rock, we were a nation bent on white Christian privilege and war.  The first things we did as a Nation were wipe out the Native Americans, bring slaves from Africa, burn witches, force Christian imperialism on the indigenous peoples who decided not to fight us, and then went to war with the country that largely funded our pilgrimage from Europe...

As for our entertainment, look at the most popular movies and television shows... most of the popular movies come with an R rating (and even the PG-13 movies can be pretty heavy-handed... consider “The Ring”).  We produce a lot of movies that glorify our past wars and warriors.  Television is FILLED with violent images and concepts, all across the spectrum of our viewership.  What were the most popular toys when I was a kid?  GI Joe.  He Man.  Transformers.  We program war into our children from the earliest ages, and continue all through life.  There should be no surprise that we grow into violent adults.

I'll never deny that I personally consume these things, myself... I watch some of the most violent horror and action movies out there... from Peter Jackson's early work, to James Wan's.  I'm no stranger to disturbing imagery, and quite frankly, I enjoy it.  What you have to consider is, in that regard, I'm part of a HUGE majority of Americans, who consume and enjoy violence just as I do.

So, if you sit there and cosmetically scrub every phrase to make it as “unoffensive” as possible, walk on eggshells to try and make people like you, and let the other side bully you without making noise about it, then you're only going to attract MORE PUSSIES LIKE YOU, and nothing will get done, because the Pussies are too afraid to take any truly effective ACTION!  They'd rather sit there and get SHIT ON by the Assholes!

My advice to anyone who may be seeking to enter the CLUSTERFUCK we call our “Government,” here you go:

1. Don't be afraid of offending people who NEED TO be offended!

2. Call a bigot a bigot... a liar a liar... a Calvinist a Calvinist... a Theocrat a Theocrat... and an Asshole an Asshole!

3. Don't let the Pussies soften your words!

4. Use more “Emotional” words.  For example, call it “WAGE THEFT” rather than “income inequality.” “Theft” promotes anger, while “inequality” promotes pity, which many barbaric Americans see as “whiny.”

5. Avoid using words that instil pity.  Stick with words that trigger and promote anger and ire!

6. Make your own waves and ride them into shore!

7. Stand up for yourself!

8.  Exploit their weaknesses! This means hit them in the 'stupid' button... they're not that smart... really... they're not.

9. Here's a valuable phrase:  “How much were you paid to say that?”  Ask this EVERY TIME they disparrage the poor, promote the oil industry, bash Obamacare, deny climate change, or mention “over-regulation”!

10. When they talk about Abortion or Gay Marriage, recite the first ten words of the First Amendment: “Congress shall pass no law respecting an establishment of religion!”  Then, POINT OUT that these are the FIRST TEN WORDS of the FIRST Amendment, and that if they haven't read that, then they probably haven't read ANY of the Constitution (because they haven't)!

11. If they say they should be elected because they're a Christian, recite this part of Article 6 of the Constitution:

“No religious test shall ever be required for any office or public trust under the United States.”

Then, point out again that they haven't read the Constitution!

12. NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR BEING STRONGLY WORDED!  Apologies are ammunition, just like irresponsible comments!  If your opponent is offended that you would openly call him an Asshole for BEING an Asshole, then DOUBLE DOWN AND MAINTAIN COURSE!  People WILL respect you for it!



These measures will net you a national audience, a lot of eyes, a lot of donations, and a lot of votes!

… or you could run as a Pussy, and forgo the people who WANT AND DESERVE a hard-headed, unabashedly blunt, unapologetically honest BADASS for their Representative or Senator, who, if they do these things, will speak for a lot more of America than JUST the Pussies (which is actually a MINORITY in America, but not in the Democratic Party).



Thanks to the Pussies being pussies, the Assholes are basically holding the nation at a standstill...

However, thanks to the Pussies, the Assholes aren't COMPLETELY shitting all over us...

… so, I guess...

The Pussies are causing constipation in the Assholes, but the Assholes are causing constipation in EVERYTHING!

Don't Forget About the Stupid People





The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray.”
-John Steinbeck



I don't want to come off as a pessimist, but here's the thing...

I'm frustrated. I'm pissed off. I feel disenfranchised. I feel ignored.

and here's why...

I've written letter after letter to politicians, and more than a few to political parties. I keep telling them one thing. In a nutshell, it can be boiled down to this:

Don't forget about the stupid people.

and here's what I mean by that...

The great George Carlin once said, “Imagine how stupid the average person is... now, realize that half the people are even dumber than that!” I've found this philosophy very useful in understanding the reasons that things are so bad right now.

You've got a bunch of evil, rich douchebags (like the Koch brothers) who understand how stupid people are, and have a subordinate organization (the Republican Party) to push their agenda and make it sound reasonable to said “stupid people”.

On the other side, you've got a bunch of people (the Democratic Party) who are so smart, they're stupid as well. These people, however, aren't stupid in the same way. Unlike the Republican stupid people, they possess the ability of CRITICAL THINKING! Unfortunately, that means that they think EVERYONE possesses the ability of critical thinking. As a result, they expect that the Republicans will have a sudden bout of rationality.

The fact of the matter is, if they are not able to think critically, then they will NEVER have that much-desired bout of rationality! The Democratic Party wants to give the stupid people the “benefit of the doubt.” They think that people will suddenly just "wake up."  They also, unfortunately, think that talking down to people is rude.

It's not “talking down” to people, though, if you're talking to them in a manner that they can relate to. If you talk over too many people's heads, they'll be more offended. They're more likely to think you're calling them stupid if you say things they are incapable of understanding, than if you HUMBLE yourself to speak to them in a way they can actually fucking relate to.

Remember during the 2008 elections, Republicans were referring to Democrats as “elitist?”

That's what they meant. “Elitism” means something different to Republicans than it does to Democrats.

Democrats see “elitism” as wealthy people talking down about poor people, as rich "Affluenza cases" are want to do, and have been increasingly verbal about.

Republicans see “elitism” as people who talk over their heads. Don't forget... these are people who OPPOSE education! Remember this?:



They think that education is “Liberal Indoctrination,” so they REJECT education readily! Therefore, when someone is more intelligent than them, they must be talking down to them like a snob! On top of that, if someone is more educated than them, they must be a filthy, stinkin', no good, Socialist, Fascist Liberal!

LET'S STOP THERE FOR A MOMENT, AND I'LL POINT SOMETHING OUT:

Most people WANT intelligent people leading them, don't they? After all, aren't smart people going to make better decisions? You'd think so... right?

Most of US would make that distinction, but when you see intelligence as the ENEMY, you're not going to vote for intelligent people; you're going to vote for people you believe to be more on YOUR level.

Let this serve as evidence of my previously posed assertion as to the lack of critical thinking skills of the people in the Republican Party. You or I READILY see the blatant failure of logic in abject hatred of intelligent people. Why do you think so many “facepalm” memes are floating around social media?

Consider Ken Ham, curator of the “Creation Museum.” He will never abandon his beliefs, because he has absolutely NO way to weigh one set of facts against another. Ergo, it really did nothing for Bill Nye to debate him, other than giving people more ammunition to laugh at the Creationists with. Very few positions will change.

NOW LET ME STOP AGAIN AND POINT SOMETHING ELSE OUT:

This is a perfect example of the stupidity of intelligent people. The notion that debating indoctrinated people who completely lack reason might actually accomplish something, depicts the inability of intelligent people to realize HOW STUPID the stupid people are, and the lack of understanding as to why.

How often do you hear people ask, “Why don't they learn?” or “Why aren't they getting this?”

These questions often accompany facial expressions of pure confusion. The people asking these questions (usually news commentators) sit there, DUMBFOUNDED to the stupidity of things people say or do, never realizing that they're reporting on people who have NO ABILITY to change at this point!

ON A DAILY BASIS, I see or hear a talk show host, or a journalist, or another intellectual type person PULLING THEIR HAIR OUT because the person they're debating simply has no ability to challenge their knowledge or understanding, and the host completely fails to understand this fact about them. It should be noted, however, that in the case of politicians, they may be saying these things because they're PAID to say these things, regardless of what they truly believe.

On social media, if they feel they're being forced to challenge their beliefs, they talk over the person they're debating, attempt to change the topic, and ultimately resort to insults; many of which make no sense, as the person using them has no concept as to their meaning, but they've been told that these are BIG, BAD, DIRTY, LOW-DOWN things to call people, like “Socialist,” “Marxist,” “Maoist,” “Fascist,” and “Liberal.”




Think about it... haven't you noticed these things, yourself? Haven't you encountered people that are both incredibly stupid and incredibly hard-headed? Haven't you encountered REALLY stupid people who believe whole-heartedly that they're smarter than everyone else?

Too many people are either too stupid to know they're stupid, or so smart, they're stupid.

A Conundrum for the Ages




I realize I haven't written for a while.  I've been trying to branch out my talents and techniques, to encompass a broader variety of mediums.  I hope you've enjoyed my recent offerings.

So, dusting off the ol' cobwebs, I thought I'd share the most recent mental query loop I've been stuck in.  

I'm often very frustrated and conflicted between my beliefs, my thoughts, and reality. Sure, I realize that EVERYONE has these conflicts... that's what makes up half of our existence on this planet! Through a series of questions, I will demonstrate my current prevailing enigma... then, maybe someone ELSE can contemplate it as well, and I don't have to suffer this alone.

Question #1:
Is it ever ok to advocate for the death of someone (this includes capital punishment and/or murder)?

Question #2:
There are LEGITIMATE threats to society, due to lack of Psychological and/or Psychiatric treatment. Sometimes, they snap and shoot up movie theaters, malls, or schools. These people will never be re-introduced into society, and will likely only go on to kill more people in prison. Is their life as precious as yours or mine, if they are going to spend their life taking your life or mine?

Question #3:
Some of the most mentally deranged people are also the WEALTHIEST people. They use their money to ensure that the rest of the “unwashed masses” never see a dime. This is one of the effects of the recently coined term, “Affluenza.” These people are entirely destructive to society, and likely have no chance at rehabilitation. This is something that they WILL pass on to their children, further contributing to the problem. What should be done with them?

Question #4:
Given the political power these wealthy people have, it's likely that they will never see a courtroom for their crimes. If they DO somehow see a courtroom, they'll just pay a fine and continue to do what they are doing. This does NOTHING to solve the problem. If our Government and courts have been so deeply corrupted by the neutering money of the wealthy, how can we trust them to hold the wealthy to any kind of accountability for what they have done to us?

Question #5:
Given the level of corruption of governments (notice the plural) and destruction to society and the environment, which threatens us all, is this a matter that the World Court should take on as “Crimes Against Humanity”?

Question #6:
If our governments CAN'T act, and the World Court WON'T act to hold these people accountable for their crimes, including slavery, treason, global wealth theft, racketeering, bribery, extortion, and class genocide (their unwillingness to allow the poor the dignity of medical assistance, food, or basic needs by actively fighting against it while seeking greater wealth from the governments for themselves, IS a genocide of the poor!), at what point does it fall upon the duty of the PEOPLE OF THE WORLD to exact their justice from these people?

Question #7:
If the people were to do such a thing, what would justice be? Some form of “People's Court”? A tribunal held by the MASSES, rather than the courts they've corrupted? What good would that do, if we have to go through the Government and Courts to uphold any verdict?

Question #8:
Even if “the people” find these corrupt bastards guilty, their banks still have to be garnished. There would be no way to hold them accountable. What then?

Question #9:
Consider Bastielle day... the French Revolutionaries stormed the Bastielle, freed their friends and families who had been unfairly imprisoned, and then raided the Aristocracy and beheaded every rich asshole they could find; after which balance was restored to the distribution of wealth. But consider this... there were no BANKS back then! Everything was handled through precious metals!

Given the prevalence of banks in today's world, beheading the wealthy ruling elite really wouldn't accomplish anything more than kicking their fortunes down to their Affluenzic, worthless blueblood kids, and we face the same problem again. The only difference would be, the wealthy would protect themselves better, because they can afford better walls and landmines.

Result: nothing gained; problem potentially escalated. Wealthy get worse and more indignant. Hunger Games is created to give poor people SOME hope.

So, if our Governments CAN'T act, the World Court WON'T act, our own tribunal would accomplish NOTHING, and assassinations would only make things WORSE...

What should we do?

What CAN we do?

Are we just completely, incurably fucked?

Pointing a Few Middle Fingers


We saw it with the Massey Mining Company.






And now, we've seen it with the West Texas Fertilizer Company.



We've seen it time and time again... profit over life... many of us have lived it, ourselves... and now, a pattern repeats itself.

We all remember the tragedies associated with these companies; yet, we fail to make the simple connection linking them all...

Not a single one of them thought enough of their piddly employees or neighbors to ensure their safety. When it came to improving conditions, they bought their way out of it with bribes to Congress by means of “lobbyists”... and their greed cost human lives, and continue to!

These bribes lowered standards and reduced the numbers of regulators to the point that they were too swamped to do their job...

and now, in Texas, we have a SPECIAL case, in that Rick Perry BRAGS about the deregulation that's “bringing businesses to Texas.” First of all, the VAST majority of jobs that have moved in are MINIMUM WAGE jobs! What fuckin' good is that going to do for a father of two?

Minimum wage... do you realize what 'minimum wage' ACTUALLY means??? 'Minimum wage' means,

... well, we WOULD pay you less, but we can't... you're really only a peon...”



and, given the fact that businesses can get away with almost ANYTHING in Texas, minimum wage jobs are moving in, because employers KNOW that they don't have to give a shit about their employees there!

Do we REALLY need any more evidence that these douchebags don't give a fuck about the lives of ANYONE else??? They all knew the risks their employees and neighbors were taking, and they simply didn't care... as long as it saved them a few bucks.

Consider this... employer abuses now are as high or higher than they were... (are you ready for this?)... during THE GREAT DEPRESSION!!!

Yes, there it is again... the Depression... we've seen it in relation to worker compensation, wealth distribution, and reckless Wall Street behavior... and yes... working conditions.

They wanted child labor. They fought a minimum wage. They fought a 40 hour work week. They fought against safe working conditions. They fought it all, because it was eating into their paychecks... and they're STILL doing it today!!!



The upper echelons of the business world have become entirely held by sociopathic blue-blood narcissists, and THIS is what we get for it!!! You can't even call what we get “table scraps” at this point... we get the “pity” pay...

Here you are... now, go away before you get your 'poor' on me... and don't touch the pool... I'd hate to have to drain it... stay on the plastic, please... off the carpet...”

So what if a few of the lost little lemmings die... there are SO MANY of them... and they just keep making more... they're so CUTE!

Don't you get it yet??? That's how they see us!!! If they didn't, they would have the conscience not to do the things that have taken the lives of so many of the people. If they actually DID care about their employees, they would actually put SOME effort into making safer conditions for the people who make them their fortunes!

Business these days is run like a slaughterhouse. For every one slaughtered, there's another cow coming right in behind to fill the exact same position. So, why take care of them, when they're so easily replaceable?



For a long time, they only paid people enough to keep them from bitching. These days, they don't care how much people bitch... you'll take what you get and you'll LIKE it, or you'll get FIRED for bitching when you should be working!

Employers have us by the balls, because they KNOW it's a shitty economy out there, and they KNOW that you HAVE TO take it, because you'll just get more of the same shit for less money at the next place that tricks you into joining their ranks with silver-forktongue promises without telling you that you have to be there ten years before you get a nickel's raise.

But is anybody in Washington talking about this??? FUCK NO!!! Why??? Because “We the People” don't have a LOBBYIST!!!

Wanna know the fucked up thing???

WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO HAVE ONE!!! That job SHOULD be filled by the ASSHOLES WE ELECT!!!

At what point does corporate “lobbying” get recognized for what it is... corporate oppression?!

My friends, we've been placing our efforts in the wrong places.

Many of us recognize this for what it is... a silent class war.



We tried to make a change with “Occupy”... but sights were set too high. We were attacking the wrong first target.

If you want the advantage, you first take out the infrastructure with which they arm themselves, so that when they're out of ammo, they're just out; and they can't fire any more shots.



Considering the fact that their ammunition is the money that's flooding into Washington, the first target should be the LOBBYING FIRMS; not the banks, themselves.

The banks are soulless. Asking them to change their ways is no different than asking Charles Manson politely to abandon “Helter Skelter”... which is why you have to take down the “Manson Family” first!



So, what we SHOULD be doing, is making it as hard as possible for these lobbying firms to conduct business! Every time they have a meeting, someone should be RIGHT THERE with a microphone and a video camera!

Those assholes should be shadowed the same way the Paparazzi follows Britney Spears!!!



In fact, TMZ, I'm tired of your shallow, exploitative bullshit! Why don't you direct your efforts somewhere that's ACTUALLY productive for society! Why don't you start following the assholes that might be committing FELONIES, rather than the people who might at some point commit a 'nip-slip?'

I don't give a FUCK about 'who got fat,' or about who's pregnant with who's kid, or who's cheating on who...

NONE OF IT MAKES A FUCKIN' DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD!!! IT'S NONE OF OUR FUCKIN' BUSINESS!!!

You have so-called “journalists” who can find out that J-Lo has a mosquito bite on her ass from three miles away, but you can't use that same team to expose the lobbyists and Congresspeople for the douchebags they are??? Come the fuck on... do the right thing for a change... then, maybe... JUST MAYBE... America won't be seen as the shallow assholes we've become to the rest of the world...



for fuck's sake...

A Tale of Two Chickenshits, Two More, and a Few More Chickenshits They Work With


se·di·tion

  [si-dish-uhn] 
noun
1.
incitement of discontent or rebellion against a government.



This is an open letter to the United States Congress; being that I'm REALLY fed up, and I know I'm not the only one!

BOTH houses of Congress (the House of Representatives and the Senate) are being led by two chickenshits... In the House, John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi; and in the Senate, Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell...

In the House, John Boehner is too chickenshit to take up any bills that aren't proposed by his own party! If it comes from across the aisle, it's IGNORED!



John, just because you don't agree with the people proposing a bill, that doesn't mean that ONLY your party's position matters! You're a pathetic, chickenshit, narcissist; and you have an even BIGGER problem, too... which I'll get to in a moment... a problem that should implicate YOU in some VERY bad things that certain people VERY close to you have done...

If you're NOT aware of the actions of these people, then you're even dumber than I thought... there is no conceivable way, in my mind, that you could remain ignorant of this issue for so long, and not do anything about it. The fact that you are implicated in this only shows your depravity and complete lack of decency or integrity!

PS: you're obviously a drunk, too... go to an AA meeting or something.



Nancy, you have the same problem as your friend, Harry Reid, in Senate. You're not dealing with honest people... you're dealing with liars and seditionists, and they should be called out as such! They have NO desire to get anything done, because they've all conspired NOT TO!

You KNOW it's true! You KNOW that they don't belong there, because they've conspired against the country! As Minority leader, it's YOUR JOB to call them out and demand hearings to get to the truth! Expose them for the douchebags they are, and the rest will have to work WITH you to prove that they're not seditionists, like the other guys... right???

but you're too chickenshit to do that... you're afraid of coming off as being “too radical”... you're afraid of the Fox “news” audience, and what they'll be told by their indoctrination complex...

I get your position... I really do... but you've gotta grow some balls, and CALL OUT THE TRUTH!!!



Ahhh...Senate, where dreams go to die, and the other two chickenshits take pathetic swings at each other.

Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell is a chickenshit (similarly to John Boehner) because he's AFRAID to let anything go to a vote that might make the President or his party look good.

Majority Leader, Harry Reid, is a chickenshit (for the same reason as Nancy Pelosi) because he won't call McConnell (or his sycophants) out for what is CLEARLY a case of SEDITION!!!

Every fucking day, it's the same... Mitch comes out and says something like,



The American people are tired of this President and his Socialist agenda...”



and Harry Reid retorts with something like,

My friends across the aisle need to get off their butt and vote for something.”

Harry, listen CLOSELY... those people are NOT your friends! They've been playing you for a SAP this whole time!!!

Until you start calling it what it is, you won't get any movement AT ALL from the other side! Call them seditionists (because they are), and they'll have to REALLY work to prove that they're not! The fact is, Mr. Leader, in case you didn't hear when I pointed this out to Mrs. Pelosi, the night of Obama's inauguration, they CONSPIRED against you, and the rest of America!!!

YOU CAN'T TRUST THEM, BECAUSE THEY AREN'T TRUSTWORTHY!!!

If they're going to go behind your back and PLAN to sabotage the economy, then it becomes YOUR job to call them out as SEDITIONISTS!

They don't give a damn about the country... they don't give a damn about the economy... they don't give a damn about the American people (except the $Million+ club)... all they want is POWER!!!

START CALLING THEM ON THEIR SHIT, OR YOU WILL DROWN!!!



As for you, Mr. McConnell, don't think you're getting off easy... I'm just getting STARTED yelling!

You're an arrogant, lying, anti-American piece of shit! I'm SICK of you and your worthless caterwauling about your so-called opposition to things that will help improve our country and our situation!

If Harry won't say it, I will...

Mitch, you and your mafia are guilty of SEDITION against the United States!

You're just as much a chickenshit as Harry is, and probably more; because if you're so afraid of what will happen to your precious job or your precious party if you ACTUALLY allow a vote, OR EVEN A DEBATE on ANYTHING, that only shows how spineless you really are!

If you're going to work AGAINST the needs of the country, you don't deserve your job, and you should be SHAMED out of the country!

Do you hate America SO MUCH that you would SERIOUSLY work AGAINST it???



… and as for Rep. Paul Ryan, Rep. Eric Cantor, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, Rep. Pete Sessions, Rep. Jeb Hensarling, Rep. Pete Hoekstra, Rep. Dan Lungren, Sen. Jim DeMint, Sen. Jon Kyl, Sen. Tom Coburn, Sen. John Ensign, and Sen. Bob Corker...

YOU'RE the assholes who were AT the meeting (along with Frank Luntz and Newt Gingrich)... YOU FUCKERS are the PRIMARY CONSPIRATORS in this sedition! You shitwaffles should be behind BARS, as you obviously don't give a shit about the well-being of the nation!

What you have done is DISGUSTING, and I hope you spend the rest of your pathetic lives rotting in Guantanamo!

More Than 'Just' Humans


I've worked A LOT of shitty jobs.

I mean, A LOT...

I mean, A LOT of shitty jobs!

In fact, the shitty jobs FAR outnumber the “decent” jobs... and I don't think I'm alone in saying that... I know a lot of people who have floated from one miserable experience to another, hoping to find something where they just feel valued in one way or another; only to find themselves repeatedly in a place where they just get shit on all day, for shitty pay, with a shitty boss, and shitty customers, and shitty conditions, and a shitty atmosphere, and absolutely no recognition for good work... you get the point...

which begs the question... what exactly DEFINES a “shitty job?”

Well, let's see here... some people might see it as the job, itself... cleaning port-o-potties or outhouses, for example... or cleaning up blood-splattered crime scenes... or cleaning roadkill off the pavement...



Some people might see it as bad working conditions; be it safety or climate related.



Some might see it as a job where there's no chance of advancement.

There are those who might suggest it's a hostile work environment; maybe you work with an ex; or maybe you just work with a dick, or a few dicks; or maybe it's because you CAN'T KEEP YOUR DICK IN YOUR PANTS.

Some might say it's a job with shitty pay, or a job where you're not paid what you're worth.

Some might see it in the “Horrible Bosses” sense.

Some might compare it to “Fight Club” or “American Beauty.” You know... a job where you're miserable just because the job is a bad fit for you... you just hate what you do.

I've had all of these scenarios... some where I had several of these issues at once.

I've had shitty bosses that screamed in my face for taking five seconds to hang up my coat, after clocking in AHEAD of time.



I've had jobs where the company was so big that nobody had any kind of voice.



I've had jobs that would really be better positioned if they burned to the ground.



I've had a job where “part time” was 39 ½ hours; but you were still expected to work as many as 84 hours a week (seven twelve-hour shifts), if the deadlines called for overtime (translation: they didn't have to pay for benefits... cheap bastards).



I had a job at a movie theater where we had a RAW SEWAGE LEAK behind the concessions stand. I was wading through three inches of shit and piss while serving popcorn, candy, hot dogs, nachos, and soda to people who wanted to save a few bucks by going to a “value” movie theater. Then, they decided to vacuum up the mess with a shop vac (with a frayed power cord), and told us all to get back to work before the 9:00 rush.



I had a job where I was getting paid EIGHT DOLLARS A DAY, working FULL-TIME! (fuckin' telemarketing... I'll never do THAT again...)



and that's just scratching the surface...

The common theme: the people at the top didn't give a shit about any of the rest of us. The size of the company didn't matter... one of them only had about 150 employees. But while WE were just scraping by, the douchebags who ran the company were gallivanting around the world collecting their rare hunting trophies from every continent (which had their own HOUSE... yeah... a whole HOUSE... just for their hunting trophies... every room made up to be a different continent... doesn't it just make you sick?).

They hide themselves from us in their gated communities and on their yachts. They go places where they don't even have to look upon the poor. They isolate themselves completely from us, so they can maintain their delusion that they're better than the rest of us!



Mitt Romney's 47% comments (and really, the entire tape) illustrates this fact in spades. They simply don't see us as humans at all. They see us as rodents and cockroaches. They see us as scavengers, who are always trying to take from the REAL humans... (that being the rich, of course)

and you know what?

they're right (in a way)...

we're NOT humans anymore...

we're something MORE than 'just' humans...



We're not SOFT, like them... we haven't been PAMPERED our whole lives... we don't have the cleaning staff, or the cooks, or the drivers, or the butlers... we do OUR OWN work! We clean OUR OWN houses! We cook OUR OWN food! We drive OUR OWN cars! We maintain OUR OWN lawns! We shovel OUR OWN walks and driveways! Those wealthy fucks are SOFT ASS PUSSIES because they've never actually had to do any WORK!

WE possess COMPASSION... something they lack entirely. We possess HUMILITY! We possess the HUMAN qualities that THEY DON'T!

Here's the fact, people...

We're the ones who've been hardened by our work!

We're the ones who've earned our muscles and callouses the HARD WAY; rather than in some cushy gym!

We're the ones who endure the harsh conditions in the warehouses, and in the factories, and on the roads!

We're the ones who've taken EVERY STINKIN' PILE OF SHIT they've shoveled at us, and WE'RE STILL STANDING!!!

That shows that we're resilient... It shows that we can't be stepped on that easily!

We need to USE that resilience to CRUSH THESE FUCKERS!!! We need to show them that WE'RE NOT THE INSECTS THEY THINK WE ARE!

Why am I writing this?

Why am I saying all the things I've said 10,000 times before?

Why am I repeating all this again?

because I want a better world...

because I see the powers that need to crumble... and it's not the government, as many have been deceived to believe...

it's the shitwaffles that are CONTROLLING government!



To solve ANY problem, it's best to attack it DIRECTLY at the root; and my friends, the root is all that dirty money that's being shoved at the people we elect by sub-human, narcissistic, worthless, elitist, fuckers with bank accounts that could be featured on an episode of “Hoarders!”



and WE'RE the ones that have to do it! They're not just BUYING government; they ARE government! You can't seriously expect the rich to regulate their own income, can you???

Then again, why not? I mean, we allow Monsanto to regulate itself, and oil companies to regulate themselves, and banks to regulate themselves... I mean, they have members on all the regulatory boards, so I guess we DO expect them to regulate themselves... wow... they're doing a REALLY shitty job...

WE have to take the initiative to fuck 'em! WE have to do it, because nobody else is gonna!

and we have to do it...

because we're SO MUCH MORE than 'just' humans!
