The New Insanity

Black is white. Up is down. Peace is war. Freedom is torture. Truth is lying.

These are the principles that now form the framework of this country and its inhabitants. Just like all of the countries around the world that are having breakdowns within their autocratic, theocratic, plutocratic, corprocratic, god forsaken pieces of shit excuses for a government ……….so have we begun our journey into oblivion.

Another day in a stock market that presides over a dying and decaying economy pretending to represent the hope that a debt mired, structurally paralyzed nation can somehow wallow in one last bolt of monetary adrenaline and rise up to resume a march to glory. Somehow hiring and putting eight million people back to work in god knows what kind of jobs that will pay a wage that will allow the family to pay for still over priced homes that are being propped up by a myriad of psuedo mortgages fluffed by ZIRP and sustained by hope. These eight million new jobs over the next couple of years will allow us to stabilize prices of exploding basic foods as we begin the arduous task of purchasing our own debt bonds with the new found growing economic juggernaut.

Not only do we take over our debt problems and strengthen our dollar as interest rates rise but we sustain the burdeoning demographic weight of an ever growing older population of baby boomers requiring even more expensive medical and social resources.

But not to be outdone by these strains we decide that indeed we are the greatest empire in the world and our psuedo patriotic debt slavery to the military industrial complex allows us to expand even further our 800 military bases in 125 countries. Which of course is absolutely necessary because “they” hate us for our freedom. Which of course means to protect that freedom we create even more wars halfway around the world against even more sovereign governments and peoples that happen to have oil. If we couldn’t create wars for oil then it will be wars for something else….maybe water. It will not stop. It is written.

Now like all the Byzantine powers in history this too shall pass. It may seem like an eternity to the millions of people suffering from the abuse of power but then you only need to look into the passage of history for your answer how nature ultimately deals with all human evils.

Don’t worry about the market. Its only a game. Pay attention to what is important in your life. The pain and suffering of the poor people in the South after nature showed you her power deserves your attention, thoughts, and prayers. They are real. They aren’t a ticker tape of Bullshit that is created to delude you into believing this country has bright future. They will surely be superceded by a contrived wealth in decadence event in London that will verify that you too can fly with Pixie Dust one day. The masses must have their make believe.

After all this is about survival. Who’s survival? Now that should be obvious. This sand is slowly spilling into the sea of lies that compose this country. When nature’s hour glass of sand is empty then we will no longer have this game. Make your plans and recognize there is only one thing that we are guaranteed in life. Even the PTB cannot escape that guarantee. gl

Today I’m betting on black.
