THE AMERICAN DINNER TABLE

Via Jesse

“The US may already have slipped into recession. There will most likely be no alarm raised, because the looting of the ship into the first class lifeboats continues, and it is easier if the lower decks remain unaware of the risk.

The rigging of the gold and silver markets is founded in this desire to manage perception. Oh, it is based on a more ‘noble’ desire to inspire confidence and not make people panic.

But at the same time, it has become an enduring illusion, while the disparities in economic health become increasingly pronounced.

And so the looting by the nationless few continues, and justice is led down a hallway and strangled, draped in the national colors, to the sound of patriotic tunes. Such are times of currency war.

Who will dare tell the truth, when the surrender of the truth for ‘the story’ is one’s passport to the more favored classes, the insiders, with all that this implies in terms of comfort and security? The only resignation is to accept a permanent exile, to be without influence, without a voice, ignored.

One must go along to get along, to pay one’s dues, extend and pretend, and never, ever, speak ill of the insiders and their schemes. Freedom, who needs it, when you can have security, comfort, and prestige.

So here we are, at peak illusion, just sitting on top of the world.”

The looting by the nationless few continues. That about sums it up, don’t it?

Photoshop refers to altering a photo means of a computer program. A cartoon doesn’t need more than a pencil and eraser. Did I already mention the time Old Phil showed me how to erase newsprint on bikini models? And you thought adult coloring books wouldn’t sell.

It will be just like the Titanic. The music plays on until all who are left on deck realize there are no more lifeboats, then the real panic ensues. It won’t be pretty for we who sleep in the cheap seats . John
