I'm sick and tired of all the pussy-footing on the part of Obama and the dems. It's time somebody stood up on their hind legs and got mad as hell and screamed truth to power.
Time for the Gloves to Come Off!
I’m sick and tired of pussy-footing around. I don’t care anymore if I’m written off as a conspiracy nut or whatever. At least I will have spoken my mind and tried my best to wake you fuckin’ zombies up! And if my cussing offends you, tough shit! The misery, suffering, raping, & murder going on globally offends me more than anything else so if you’re sensibilities are offended by cussing but not the evil being done in your name and with your collusion, you’re obviously morally blind & bankrupt.
These greedy, vile, belly-dragging scum will not stop. And the irony is that the moronic fundamentalists, whom they’ve suckered into their game, will indeed be proven right except it won’t be the version of Armageddon they read in the Bible. No, it will be an entirely preventable destruction of the Earth, and it’s a man made apocalypse caused by greed & ignorance. It’s not Satan that’s caused this coming apocalypse but rather, the cowardice, laziness, greed, & ignorance of so many of us, so-called well-educated Westerners in the U.S. & Europe. And I lay most of the blame on Americans because we’re the world’s super-bully, tyrant, & evil power!
Have we become so numb to wanton killing, needless deaths, rape, torture, etc., that not even genocide fazes us? We are brought up on a steady diet of the glories of physical combat, football for example. Never mind that more and more football players suffer serious concussions, spinal injuries, brain damage, etc. And we revel in watching movies that are ever more violent & graphic. The bloodier, the more gruesome, the sicker, perverted, & twisted, the better. And we wonder why gang violence, drug violence, road rage, etc. is so pervasive? The popular music of our youth reflects this love affair with violence & destruction as well. And it is supreme hypocrisy to castigate the violence of these tasteless music videos and CDs when they are only following the example of the larger society. Think about the Hollywood blockbuster movies celebrating the violence of our wars. Try reflecting on what messages are being sent & received by not only our young people but by the general public. Do you ever question the underlying assumptions & premises of many, if not most, of these box office hits that bring in hundreds of millions of dollars? What are they saying about our reasons for going to war and how are they depicting the "enemy?" We are a truly brainwashed & thoroughly indoctrinated people and the control is so pervasive, we have internalized it and have no idea that it rules us. Who sets the national agenda i.e. the national mindset? Try starting with the Business Roundtable which is made up of the hundred most powerful corporations that claim to be American. They tell Obama and everyone else when & where to shit, stand, speak, etc. I know, more conspiracy ranting & raving.
Why is it that the right-wing-nuts can scream conspiracy by the Left, the liberals, etc. almost daily via their television & radio straw men (Limbaugh, Beck, O’Reilly, etc.) but whenever someone on the human side of the political aisle dares to accuse the "conservatives" of a conspiracy, he/she is immediately marginalized? Could it be that the richest reptiles own the media?
We create vicious, inhuman sadists, rapists, torturers, & murderers by sending our soldiers to rape, pillage, plunder, & murder in the name of the American Empire and we call it "protecting America and promoting democracy." September 11, 2001 was only a preview of what is to come. It was the tip of the iceberg of a hate so deep in an ever growing number of people around the globe because of the evil deeds done by our C.I.A., N.S.A., F.B.I., secret assassination teams, juntas trained by us, financial, logistical, & military support of vicious dictators, etc. Mark my words you fuckin’ morons, there will come a day when you will remember my words & that I tried to warn you and asked you to inform yourselves. Don’t take my word for anything. Do your own research if you have the balls and aren’t too lazy & more concerned about those stupid-ass ‘reality’ shows, America’s Next Idol, etc.
We are decaying from the inside out and we won’t stop decomposing until it’s too late and some old man, perhaps the last of our species, will vaguely remember and ask, ‘Where did we go wrong?’
Here are some examples, causes, & contributing factors which have led us down this road to depravity:
- Our national hysteria regarding "sports."
- The joy that kids & adults derive from "slasher" movies.
- The callous disregard, cruel joking, & physical assaults on the homeless & the mentally ill.
- The wanton and random violence of street gangs.
- The disrespect of the young towards their elders.
- Ignorance and greed are glorified as the path to success.
- The degradation of women. My "ho has a fat booty."
- The poverty level & ever growing chasm between the rich & the poor.
- No, or little, if any, health care options of over 50 million Americans.
- Police brutality and the rare prosecution of police for their crimes.
- The glamorization of drug & alcohol abuse if you’re rich and the condemnation & incarceration for their abuse if you’re poor.
- The spread of the prison complex & our having more people locked up per capita than any other nation on Earth.
- If you sell a little weed, you do 25 years in prison but if your corporation poisons our water system, you pay a relatively small fine & continue doing business and often repeating the same criminal actions.
- Our political elections are more clearly than ever, up for sale to the highest bidder.
- Congress is little more than all the "ladies of the night," who stand up in line at the infamous Mustang Ranch whorehouse in Reno, waiting to be selected by the customers i.e. the corporate cockroaches.
- The Supreme Court is simply a higher class house of prostitution.
- The U.S. presidency is awarded to the best actors for their convincing rhetoric in fooling the public into voting for them even though it’s clear to all but the willfully ignorant that they are the most high priced whores in the nation.
- The so-called "debate" whether global climate change is true or not.
Yes my friends, we live in the best nation on Earth, or at least that’s what we’re told? If you choose to ignore the contradictions listed above and have yet to break through to the other side. "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite." (William Blake’s poem The Marriage of Heaven and Hell). And because of the modern day equivalent of "soma," (television) we have allowed the multinational corporations turn our planet into a living Hell. You democratic dogmatists especially on the Daily Kos website are major contributors to the problems, rather than guides to the critical solutions necessary for humanity’s survival. There are a few diarists who can think for themselves but the overwhelming majority of Daily Kos ‘diarists,’ are sell-outs, cop-outs, and pseudo intellectuals posing as ‘concerned citizens.’ You are like the so-called liberal intelligentsia that Noam Chomsky so accurately proved who contributed to and championed America’s war of aggression in Vietnam. And to those snotty-nosed, little punks among you, who have insulted me, I was faced with going to Vietnam but I stood up against the U.S. Army, "conventional wisdom," my family, etc. and refused to go even though they wanted to make me an officer. I grew up in Paramount, an inner city of L.A., right across the riverbed from Compton. You armchair political pundits would never have survived the streets of Paramount.
I have a hatred of the rich that goes to the marrow of my bones because I have been looked down upon, disrespected, & screwed hundreds of times by the so-called elite. This is why I will rant and rave against them until the day that I die. I have been fighting against bullies my whole life & I don’t care if I offend your sensibilities because if you had any true human compassion, you wouldn’t play this farce of a game we refer to as democrats against republicans. So, go ahead, write me off, and dismiss me. That’s easy. But grow a set of balls, that’s not so easy. Obama needs to grow a set of balls also but he’s clearly not going to because he will be slapped down if he does. Therefore, we’re going to see simply more of the same i.e. Obama ‘reaching out’ to the reptilian robber barons "Can’t we just get along?" I wish I could take Obama’s place for one day. I would hold a press conference and declare "Okay you republicans, I am declaring war on your evil souls and will not rest until I have done everything in my power to show the American public what traitors you are and how you have fucked them and all of us. You have caused this depression and you have the gall to blame it on the Democratic Party? And yes, the Democratic Party has colluded with you in your crimes and is equally guilty of corruption but from this day forth, both parties will be held accountable and those of you responsible will be sent not to those federal country club prisons but to Pelican Bay. Perhaps a little ‘quality time’ with your fellow inmates there may bring out a little human compassion in you?"
We, the true Americans, the working class, the poor, the homeless, & the ever shrinking middle class, are being forced to work longer & longer hours, and sometimes two or three jobs just to keep our heads above water and for less & less pay while the swine at the top are making tens if not hundreds of millions and sometimes billions for firing us and moving their corporations overseas to exploit the even worse off people existing on less than $2 a day. The hard-earned benefits that our union organizers had their heads caved-in for are being stolen. And the corporate owned media continues to spread the propaganda that unions are bad for business, bad for America. The C.E.O.s are so brazen that they boast of their record profits and their obscene salaries while we, the peasants are losing our homes, our rental apts., our health insurance, our pensions, our cars, our dignity. They think we’re too stupid to even know we’re being fucked. We’re chastised "Just man-up, tighten your belt, knuckle-down." We are fed the same old myth that the ‘free market’ will right things even though it’s clear as a bell that for the last 30 years this has been tried and it has led us to this economic meltdown. What is it going to take to wake up America? Do every one of us have to be living in the gutter, under bridges, sleeping in parks, standing in food lines at the local church, begging on street corners before we connect the dots? I lived in a homeless shelter for five weeks and it was one of the most humiliating and frightening experiences of my life. When our fellow brothers and sisters are suffering, we should feel their pain that is, if we haven’t become so desensitized that we no longer see them as human beings. I’m not a religious man but as the saying goes, "There but for the grace of God goes you or I."
It’s obvious that America is no longer a republic with a representative democracy. The American public spoke very loud and clear against the bail out of the banks "too big to fail." And the government totally ignored our opinion & our wishes and bailed them out anyway. Naturally these slime balls ignored the stipulation that they were supposed to ease the requirements for loans to individuals and small businesses in order to stimulate the economy because they knew that they once again wouldn’t be held accountable. And even when it was revealed that they were defrauding millions of Americans on their home mortgages and illegally throwing them out of their homes, they still aren’t held accountable. So don’t fuckin’ tell me that Obama cares. Yeah, I know that this bail out started with Bush but Obama has done nothing to redress the wrongs. And Obama appointed the top financial thieves to run the show in his administration. How can you so-called democrats ignore this as a minor oversight on his part? You wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to democratic crimes and complicity with the republicans but become jackals when someone like me dares to point out the obvious. You only want to see what little, positive steps Obama has taken but refuse to see/discuss the bigger picture.
Yes indeed, welcome back to the Dark Ages. Feudalism revisited. I just wish I could be there to see when each and every one of you simpletons has the rug pulled out from underneath you & you are sitting on the floor, dumbfounded & asking ‘how can this be?’ But don’t worry, if we’re all good little kiss-asses, they might through us a crumb or two now and then. They might give us a job cleaning toilets at $2 a day in their corporate palaces if we’re lucky & don’t rock the boat.
Meanwhile, we, the ignorant ones who believe the democratic party has sold us out and isn’t worth the sweat off our balls, can perhaps get a minimum wage job flipping burgers or pumping gas if we’re willing to go down on the boss. By the way, some popular rap singer said "minimum wage is an employer’s way of saying; I’d pay you even less if I could." And we always have the "option," of joining the military machine, perhaps dying or losing a leg or arm in the power elite’s campaign for global domination, and when we return & are crazy from the things we saw & did, be told, tough shit, you’re just a weakling and we don’t care and if you keep on bugging us, you won’t even be able to get a job flipping burgers. Isn’t capitalism and democracy grand? Nope, couldn’t think of any other system of government that I’d rather live under. Oh yeah, there are many countries far worse than here. Sounds like familiar ‘reasoning,’ Obama "if you don’t like our party, just wait and see what they are like (republicans)." Some choice in the freest, most just, most egalitarian democracy on Earth!
I sometimes wish it were truly possible to do a "Vulcan mind-melt" as Spock would sometimes do on the original Star Trek television series. Because if I could share with people all the evil, vile, horrible things done in our name by our government, corporations, & military that I’ve discovered over the past 30 years or so of my search for truth, I like to believe we would unite in a modern day version of the French Revolution but hopefully without resorting to the guillotine? We should all, as Americans, hang our heads in shame and beg the billions of people whom we have suppressed, oppressed, & killed so we could have big screen televisions, iPods, hummers, etc., to forgive us. This is the only path to reducing terrorism. America is the planet’s most egregious war criminal and most powerful & consistent terrorist force the world has ever known!
Every soldier I’ve ever met who’s been to war, doesn’t want to talk about their experiences in war. Why? If ‘defending America and democracy is such a glorious goal that our young will go into harm’s way, why is it so painful for soldiers to discuss what they did, saw, & heard? Could it be that they realized a bit too late that they had been betrayed, lied to, manipulated, and forced into becoming monsters and committing monstrous acts upon other human beings? Just like the other chicken hawks in the Bush junta, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, etc., you’ve never seen the ugly reality and talk tough and are willing to send others to fight in your place but have no backbone to do so yourselves!
One of you cowardly "diarists" on the Daily Kos insulted me by saying "he wasn’t able to earn a teaching credential himself and thinks he’s so smart and should be a professor." I’d love to know about your background. I bet you have led a very sheltered life and probably have never had to work for minimum wage and mommy & daddy spoiled you rotten. And I’d love to pimp-slap your disrespectful, punk-ass little face. I buried my brother when he was 18 years old. He died of a heroin overdose. I was 22. I have seen more death & hardship than shallow, little cowards like you will ever see and could handle.
My intellectual and moral hero is Noam Chomsky because he has the balls to stand up and speak truth to power. You dogmatists who profess such outrage on-line are mental midgets and have little intellectual or moral integrity. No, it’s much easier to be a part of the majority and repeat the party line rather than take a stand. Chomsky is a humble man but a man of principle who is marginalized because he refuses to go along with the drivel the republicans and the democrats continue to spew forth. I’m not saying everything he says is gospel but he’s light years ahead of you and me. Even the so-called Public Broadcasting System which is supposed to be so liberal, progressive, & enlightening, censors Chomsky. Let me hear some of you "democratic" diarists challenge Chomsky on any of his views. Come on you intellectual giants; let’s see what you’ve got! I know you won’t dare but you can’t. You’re little more than mosquitoes. If you dared to peak behind the curtain of the Wizard of Oz, Obama being the current grand wizard, you’d see how fragile this house of cards is and how close we are to total collapse. Hear no evil, speak no evil, and see no evil. Don’t worry, be happy. Stay current with your Face book page. Chat endlessly on your cell phones about nothing. Watch your sitcoms, America’s Best Dancers, Survival; revel in the gladiator sports obsession, etc. I’ll dance on your graves. At least with the republican reptiles, we know where they’re coming from, but you phony champions of the people hide behind your dogma and deceive yourselves & those who are ignorant, that you are working for change. You’ll pay with your souls for your complicity in the subjugation of the billions of suffering people!
In conclusion, sometimes I despair that we’ll be able to pull our heads out of our asses in time when I consider the fact that Air America radio, the self-proclaimed "progressive voice of America," airs ads for Wal Mart & B.P. propaganda ads proclaiming their concern for the environment and their compensation to the victims of B.P.’s reckless & indifferent business practices. And though I have a lot of respect for Thom Hartmann’s political commentary & perspective, I couldn’t disagree more with him on the subject of "illegal immigration," which he feels is a "drain on the economy." I am proud to say that I have known many immigrants from Mexico & Central America during the 30 plus years I spent in L.A. both as co-workers in some hell-hole factories and as students of mine when I taught night school English as a Second Language classes. And they were the finest human beings I have ever had the pleasure to know. They’ll give you the shirt off their back even though they barely have a pot to piss in. They are not the enemy! The true enemy is the global corporations who because of their raping, pillaging, & plundering of the world’s resources and people, cause the poor to flee their homelands in an often frightening & degrading effort to survive. To blame these poor victims for our economic woes is disingenuous, heartless, & those who do so, are no better than the perpetrators of these crimes against humanity!
Keep on playing their game suckers! We’ll see who the truly stupid are and we’ll also see who gets the last laugh though there might not be anyone around to hear that last laugh?
