I wanted a little more of a rant, but spot on.

I would hope even the sheeple see this for what Chris says it is – even if they don’t understand all the big words.

Chris doesn’t mince words; I like that about him. Truth is, Presidents are “stand-ins” for the sheeple, really, it’s Cheney running things from the parallel government at Raven Rock “Site R”. Did you know we’re on the edge of Nuclear war? It seems to be the goal of the neo-cons. “More war more often”. Sounds like a Radio station jingle. Tis the season.

Russia won’t take much more of this Ukraine-baiting plus all the sanctions. Seems to me the UN should be “sanctioning” the U.S. for being a fucking bully. These torture tactics, including drone use that has at least a 150 to 1 ratio of killing innocents to “bad guys”, torture, and complete and total spying on all Americans (now sanctioned and made legal by Con-gress), should immediately be stopped and outlawed in the future.

And before you say something about “stopping terror”, please let me remind you no steel-framed building has ever collapsed due to fire. And building 7 wasn’t even hit by a “plane” so why was it “pulled”. And where was the airliner wreckage on the Pentagon lawn? Point being, the essence from which the “terror” meme stems is, indeed 9/11. Mighty big stick to “enable” the policies that are now our foreign policy, courtesy PNAC. Perhaps THAT’S what we should focus our attention toward. Let’s really look at what happened on 9/11 and dig for answers to these unanswered questions. Then and only then can we begin to rebuild our country.

A Republican will be your next President, on that, you can bet the farm.

Fuuuuuuuck…of course they don’t. Republicans staged that whole show. We are going to take over the entire world.

Who gives a fuck about this bug-eyed loser. He’s a stooge. Rich beyond belief, we could make him lick Bill’s boots for the right price. You rubes want to know a little secret? If you kiss the Jew’s rear end, untold wealth is at your feet. It’s true! Robert “the godfather” Rubin is my actual Godfather! Bill gave him everything he wanted and look at us now. A few uppity hillbillies like us have so much money we don’t know what to do with it all! We even staged a multi-million dollar wedding for me and my jewish hubby!

Anyway, tomorrow night I’m off to a cocktail party at the Zuckerberg’s, then to dine with Ben Bernanke, followed by a “Christmas” (heehee) party at the “Jew” Yorker, all chauffeured by Bloomberg’s man. After dinner drinks at Mort Zuckerman’s secret bar! You know who’s going to be there? Elena Kagan! Si Newhouse! And that Gruber guy who wrote Obamacare! And David Coleman who wrote Common Core! We’ll finish the late night carousing with an early breakfast at Neil Rudenstine’s house, where his buddy Larry Summers sometimes hangs out. I might even see a glimpse of Alan Greenspan or George Soros there!

Wow I’m exhausted already. See you pig fucking, football loving, wallmart nerd, goy suckers later So, to sum up:

Me Chelsee Clitnon, you not.
Me oligarch, you not.
Me marry into jewish ruling class, you not.
Me hubby still have two inch penis, you not.

And finally, fuck off goy losers!

What do you think the odds are that the banks close for the usual Christmas / New Years holidays and a bunch don’t reopen in January. Is that what the Elizabeth Warren speech was about??

Well said, Westcoaster. Since 9/11 we have been an occupied nation and we can’t expect our enemies to restore the Constitution. The total assault on reason represented by all the incoherent fabrications and impossible scenarios that comprise the official story about 9/11 is an assault on civilization itself. A kind of madness overtakes us.

I hang out with what would be considered well educated folks who to this day trust that the media is mostly telling them what is actually going on – albeit with the spin based on the channel of choice. They do not understand the sin of omission.

Or they amuse themselves to distraction because they honestly just don’t want to deal with reality.

The idea that the entirety of the MSM is somehow in “cahoots” to keep us all ridiculously entertained, misinformed and/or ignorant is not in their realm of possibilities. Even here, on TBP, it’s a given that the financial news is total BS yet somehow for some their preferred MSM still has an element of truth.

Anti-intellectualism is alive and well as is the lack of appreciation for what the internet has to offer – so all a “government spokes-person” or a “respected media pundit” needs to do is repeat something often enough until it is perceived as a fact.

The internet can be brutal, it’s not for the faint-of-heart and I suspect I waited my entire life for it to be invented.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

Isaac Asimov

Some years ago Chris Hedges was invited to give the commencement address at Rockford College in Rockford IL.

No kidding, he was booed off the stage for trying to share the truth of what we absolutely now know about the Bush “war on terror.”

A “cult of ignorance?” Hoo boy, is that the truth.

All of life is suffused by paradox. Paradoxes are everywhere, I mean EVERYWHERE.

One of my favorites is, “Nothing sets up failure like success.” The USA was, in the 20th century, THE most successful nation-state on Planet Earth.

The conditions that caused that success were largely built during the 19th century, and the institutions that enabled them were largely dismantled in 1913, 101 years ago, folks.

The post-WW2 boom ended in the mid-1960’s, and fairytale accounting was enabled by the divorce of money from “stuff” first when silver was removed from coinage and then when Nixon ended the minimal sanity-check of Bretton Woods in 1971.

Since then, the Rave was on. A debt-fueled bender of historic proportion, lasting basically half a century, has let the average American ascend a scaffold to the clouds. The structure is built on nothing but overconfidence and a delusional belief generated by past “glories,” none of which even exist any more.

To carry the analogy, do you know why few people you know want to hear (or see) the truth? Their necks have a rope around them, and they KNOW IT. If the scaffolding falls, they know deep down that they’ll all be dancing at the end of a rope, the noose strangling them the hard way.

That’s why your friends and family can’t look. They know the abyss is there, they just live in abject terror of its inky blackness reaching up and grabbing them, and dragging them into oblivion.

Hedges is being polite here, he doesn’t go nearly far enough. But wait, there’s more!

Prescott Bush was far more nefarious than any of his neolithic descendents. The Bush family was built on crime, banking, warfare, subterfuge, and corruption:

Also kindly note that GW Bush’s daughter Jenna, married a NYC investment banker Henry Chase Hager, whose father is John Henry Hager, chairman of Republican Party in Virginia, former lieutenant governor in Virginia and former assistant secretary of Education Department.

This is a toxic clan.
