Federal Government Musings And Other Societal Observations

Hat tip to Zero Hedge and CalibratedConfidence

Reality is becoming more and more weird as we continue onto the Great Reset. We have playwrights spewing opinions across TV and their CPM slideshow presentations regarding how the US should manage its debt (with talking points from everything except the obvious, cut spending) and no one questions the source or the validity of the suggestion. People just assume that other “experts” know the real truth, “experts” who never pulled the trigger on a multi hundred thousand dollar trade let alone a multi million dollar trade hedged in ways that playwrights wouldn’t understand even with a FRED graph.

Our President yesterday took the stage in front of presumably middle class children, the same middle class the White House keeps in a closet and brings out every so often to show the poor and rich that in one corner of the US there is a middle class. Yesterday these criminal actors came on TV and played a role a certain BI editor could only dream of and spun a web of bullshit that even the CIA would want to take credit for. The “dear leaders” of this lemming culture that is Amerika know how to play the simple-minded, emotion driven populace. All of it is a crock of shit.

We can all point to some administration and highlight corruption or wrong-doing. When the US wanted to tax its citizens, did it stop at the first rate it chose? No. When the Gov’t started to expand the military-industrial complex, did it stop after Vietnam? No. When the US had its war on drugs, did it approach each substance rationally? No. When the US accepted Keynsian spending did it stop when spending became a National Security threat? No. When the US goes for the assualt weapons ban, is that where it will stop? No.

For the Gov’t to maintain its power and control over a growing population that has pockets of civilians who are using the advances we have in technology to share and collect information in an effort to fight the on-going information battle, it will need to restrict its citizens in another manner. So far the intelligence of the average American has been wittled down. Most won’t challenge the Holy American War Machine or follow a corruption line that tangents three other events because well, it’s just too complicated and complicated isn’t cool when Lil Wayne is considered poetic.

Biden mentioned in yesterdays live Soap Opera broadcast that the US has a “moral obligation” to do something about guns. Moral obligation? No obligation to the corrption stemming from false raids, over-zealous cops with weapons, or to the civilians killed overseas so this ignorant Amerikan public can have gas at $3.40 a gallon? Nope. And not many care to question events and not many care to have an original opinion. And they can’t. This world today is full of people who managed to learn how a bunch of other smart people who came before them did things. To quote a person who shall remain nameless “if I leave you in the woods with a hacket, how long until you can send me an email”?

The irony is Amerikans are energized against murder yet the largest part of our economy is the military-industrial complex which has been responsible for untold deaths and has worked to muddy the waters around investigations into corruption and illicit activities carried out with funds from the US taxpayers. But again, too complicated so it aint’ cool, oh look 24 inch rims! Word up! Did you hear about the Kardashian Oreo?

Currently the US is in a state where the ignorant amoung us can’t see how fucked up things are so they keep procreating while the smart people are going “wow, shits getting bad. I’m not bringing more Amerikan slaves into this world just so they can be pawns to the elite ruling class”. The ignorant among us are breeding at a faster rate than the intelligent and it’s causing this scenario where entertaining emotion from leaders is acceptable so long as we feel good at the culmination of the speech, no one questions substance or transposes the logic to previous situations. We are the new Rome. IE – while we are complaining about Assult Rifles and the deaths of little children, does the public not care about the Boarder Agent killed with a rifle given to Mexican drugs lords by our Attorney General which then subsequently lied to cover it and had the VERY PRESIDENT WE HAVE NOW use an Executive Order to seal the documents? Nope. Are you not entertained?

I can’t believe it’s this bad. Further on with the Holder bullshit, Mexico had 28,000 drug gang deaths. The same gangs Holder provided guns to. 20 kids in Connecticut or 28,000 people in Mexico. Amerkan’s, being as retarded as they are, fall for nationalism and assume the Mexican humans are less valuable than the 20 Amerikan kids in CT. What’s this about? We’re all the same species yet for some reason if you’re not Amerikan, if you’re not on “my team”, I won’t root for you. This is what we have evolved into? This is the best we can do with what we have? What a limited cognitive culture of lemmings we have, lemmings walking around with debt up their ears.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff used Operation Northwoods to start Vietnam which resulted in 58,000 Amerikan deaths and yet we have not restricted that organization because it hasn’t been a talking point on the one of the many state-run media outlets we have in Amerika. The ignorance of the Amerikan public is causing much larger transgressions performed at the hand of its government to go unchecked while willingly and clearly unconsciously enabling this more violent organization to have more power over the populace merely because of a misunderstanding around the relationship of proportional observation, meaning 20 kids carries more weight than 58,000 educated and economy stimulating Amerikan.

There is no hope for a better Amerika. We’re off the deep end. This is the best we have and the best we can. Until you scrap SSI and do something with the geriatrics in this country, we will continue down the debt slope into an ever certain slavery that we can see, unlike the invisible prision bars most Amerikans live behind today.

I have no simple way to wrap this up so I’ll say this: I hope to be around when it all goes tits up.

A co-worker told me that his son’s girlfriend got her first food stamps (EBT) yesterday and she made his son and herself a crab legs dinner to celebrate. She’s employed, not in school, not disabled and childless.

This country will be tits up soon (with our crappy luck, it will wait til after 2016 so our rulers can convince American retards that the loss of Obama’s masterful leadership was the cause).

I don’t have the resources to get to St. Kitts and Nevis, and having small children really limits your options.

On the bright side, I do look good in red.

I ran into a former college classmate yesterday while picking up some paperwork from the university.

She had dropped out during her sophomore year. She had two kids, and her relationship was falling apart. She was taking time out to get her life in order before completing her chemistry degree.

Since then….

Pregnant with 6th kid. Newly married to a guy who has 3 kids of his own. Three different baby daddies.

How is she able to come back to school? I mean, she has 10 soon to be 11 mouths to help feed and cloth, as well as prior student debts and only works a part time night shift manager position at Denny’s.

Go go welfare power. Things were going rough for her back then, its good to see she has consistently made worse decisions and is now almost 100% dependent on the state (ie: You and me) for her livelihood.

She had an iPhone 5. She drives a new SUV.

PC-
That’s feminism for you. Fuck whoever you want with no real consequences. And if the women nowadays can’t find a sucker to take care of her thuglets, big daddy government will do the rest.
The women PC, and I know you are married, are the biggest blight on our society today. If you take a step back and look at them, analyze how they think, listen to what they say and watch what they do;it’s all quite terrifying.
Do you realize what the guy’s ex must be like if he has sole custody? I think around 90% of custody cases favor the mother. That women must be a horror story, plain and simple.
Their behavior is so out of control many men today are simply choosing not to get involved with them outside common courtesies.
Feminism has taught women that men use and oppress them and then went ahead and got the men in government to let them run wild on tax payers’ dimes. That doesn’t sound like oppression to me.

I have less and less stake in this country every week.

I liked the article until the SSI and boomer comment. A whole lot of our problems are from greedy fuks not thinking ahead about all those jobs leaving for cheap labor with no regs.
Anyone who thinks the government was going to make healthcare better or less expensive should have been flogged.
Well theres plenty of debt to be run up,i see someone was mad because other members of congress didnt want to go along with eliminating the debt ceiling(frikin funny)
Yep a few kids get killed and everyone is ready to give up rights.Thousands of abortions are ok though.

j-dub, do NOT blame “feminism” for the lack of responsibility of most of our population.

Blame socialism, blame the Welfare State, blame patriarchal religions with their definition of women as breeders, and.

… blame the ethos that says that if you are a woman, your job in life is to have babies. Period. Being a momma is what defines you.

If you define motherhood as a career and the only career a woman can have, then she will be very motivated to make babies.

Hey, we still admire women who have lots of kids. What do you expect?

The feminists tried to end that. Motherhood does not define women, we said, motherhood should not be an end in itself. We promoted careers, independence, making money, getting equal pay for equal WORK, and I emphasize WORK, and having as few kids as possible because do they ever get in the way of career advancement.

But then came the Welfare State fake feminists, who said we weren’t doing enough to help mothers.

As long as we have this idea that women exist to make babies, we will have women like the pig that Pessimistic Chemist describes.

On another note I thought the folks here would appreciate this: http://www.backdoorsurvival.com/10-commandments-of-survival/

Commandment #1: Have the will to live no matter what.
Commandment #2: Be self-sufficient and self-reliant without wanting or needing excessive government assistance.
Commandment #3: Seek knowledge as a solution to problems.
Commandment #4: Adapt to the surroundings, wherever they may be.
Commandment #5: Embrace decisiveness as a core value.

Commandment #6: Channel fear into positive actions.
Being fearful and running scared is what the PTB wants you to do. Fear translates into submission and submission results in being controlled. Add a bit of brainwashing and the result starts to sound like Hitler’s Germany.
A good way to avoid fear is to be prepared to fend for yourself in all types of situations.

Commandment #7: Defend your right to freedom and the tenets of the US Constitution.
Embrace freedom and defend your right to liberty. What is liberty? How about:
•The power to do as one pleases
•Freedom from physical restraint
•Freedom from arbitrary or despotic control
•The positive enjoyment of various social, political, or economic rights and privileges
•The power of choice
We currently live in a world of airport pat downs, forced healthcare, mandatory vaccinations, and the unauthorized surveillance of our whereabouts and our communications. Soon we may lose our right to bear arms and defend ourselves.
Don’t give up your rights without a fight. And don’t be so afraid of the power elites that you fail to speak up to defend those rights. Some people will cower and hide. Instead, why not band with like-minded people and make your voice heard. If we don’t do it, who will?

Commandment #8: Respect others and their right to privacy.

Commandment #9: Pursue love and laughter on a daily basis.
We all need a break because truly, it is all too much these days. Call it down time, call it personal time. Whatever the name, love a little and laugh a little each and every day.

Commandment #10: Be authentic and real to yourself and to those around you.
When things are not going well, it is easy to pretend and fantasize that things are different. You cannot make reasonable, practical and viable decisions based upon myth. You need facts. To survive, you need to acknowledge these facts and accept the truth.
Truth will lead to trust, and trusting your decisions is paramount to have other trust you as well. To be real means to be true to yourself regardless what others think. And without being real, the other commandments just don’t matter.
