The Gods of Olympus Are Not Too Big to Fail

The Babylonian Idols, the Roman Pantheon, et al. ...all centered around priestly control of the captives shackled through a false belief in their magical power. It is the worship of monetary power today that empowers the hereditary elite to destroy country after country. Breaking that illusion will come one way or another. Either their self destruction ends in a tragedy or comedy for humanity.

Thank You, Neil Farage.

"Just who the hell do you think you people are. You are very, very dangerous people indeed: your obsession with creating this European state means that you are happy to destroy democracy, you appear to be happy with millions and millions of people to be unemployed and to be poor."

Have You No Sense of Decency, Mr President?

Two headlines from today's news media:

"Doctors say Medicare cuts force painful decision about elderly patients"

"Barack Obama to Barbara Walters: 'Extraordinarily proud' of health care reform"

What is any thinking citizen of this nation to conclude?

Prince Philip Must Be Chewing the Rug Over This...

"Hamburger disease, a debilitating form of food poisoning, may be a thing of the past. New findings from an international research collaboration conducted by the French National Institute for Agronomic Research (INRA), involving the Université de Montréal are the first to show how the contaminating E.coli bacterium is able to survive in the competitive environment of a cow's intestine by scavenging specific food sources."

Great news for the hoi polloi. One less disease into which Prince Philip might desire to be reincarnated.

Scanopticon

I think we need body and brain scanners from space to track all humans, robots, plant, and animal life. Then and only then, will we achieve a modicum of security. We are after all dealing with an irrational enemy, so we must be just as irrational ourselves in order to defeat them. It just stands to unreason.

Apparently Obama Is Now A Condiment

Why did Obama, according to an ABC article,  say the following:“It means some adjustments for China, so we understand that this not solved overnight. But it needs to be dealt with and I’m condiment it can be,” he said, “All of us need to avoid actions that perpetrate imbalances and give countries an undue advantage over one another.”
Does he now believe he is a bottle of ketchup, or perhaps he is a teapot?

Obama panel probes stimulus waste -- at Ritz Carlton

I ask you, who better to identify fraud and abuse than these obviously expert practitioners in their chosen field?

New Study Proves that Utter Nonsense is Still Profitable

This just in from the Isle of  Laputa:

"Study finds the mind is a frequent, but not happy, wanderer

November 11, 2010

People spend 46.9 percent of their waking hours thinking about something other than what they're doing, and this mind-wandering typically makes them unhappy. So says a study that used an iPhone web app to gather 250,000 data points on subjects' thoughts, feelings, and actions as they went about their lives."

I am certainly unhappy that such utter piffle masquerading as science is being funded at all. Why don't we set up an academy of naval gazing instead? Oh, pardon me, I forgot about string theory...

Deficit Commission Tripe

What sort of hellish parallel universe are we in when the same Congress and President that approved a still ongoing multi trillion dollar bailout of Wall Street criminals now turns around and tries to sell us this boatload of tripe? (With my apologies to tripe.)

George W. Bush praises President Obama's Afghanistan surge

And it is for this reason (as well as Obama's catering to Wall Street with continuing bailouts) that so much of the American populace viscerally abhors Obama. Indeed, in essence, they are but two peas in a pod.

NGOs and Haiti

Al Jazeera's Imtiaz Tyab, reporting from the capital, Port-au-Prince, on Sunday, said Haiti's minister of health had claimed that NGOs were exaggerating the spread of the disease.

"He [the minister] went on to suggest that he thought it was a way for them to attract more donations to fund cholera projects or projects to fight cholera.

"Haiti has for a very long time had a very complex relationship with the NGO's. In fact, there are more NGOs operating out of Haiti than anywhere else in the world per capita.

"These NGOs have an astounding amount of money and have also spent a lot of money here but many Haitians say that they have very little to show for it."

While I would heartily agree that NGOs (No Good Organizations?) are notorious the world over as at best a self serving racket and at worst the racist operatives of a neocolonialist scheme of keeping the so-called third world deliberately undeveloped and starving, I would not take the threat of not only cholera but far worse pandemics arising out of the living hell that is today's Haiti. That this is a deliberate policy of promotion of UN and global financier's making there can be no doubt. The same Obama administration that is carrying out what amounts to nothing other than a false flag protection racket for the heroin trade in Afghanistan, (recently lavishly admired by none other than George W. Bush) to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars, has refused to lift a finger to save Haiti. It is of a piece with the same logic that has Bernanke doing everything to save the cancerous bubble of speculative debt at the expense of the world's population...

George W. ...In Memoriam

Poor, poor Bush...Sorely hurt by the rapper Kanye's imputation that he doesn't care about black people! Not true! He doesn't care about people... period. He's a Bush. Shouldn't that be obvious to any sentient being among us? If it is not dear readers, please educate yourselves. For the truth is-- the whole Bush family are nothing other than Hitler lovers... And Hitler loved only Gaia, just like his crazed ecofascist spawn, balmy Prince Charles, son of Nazi Prince Phillip.Oh what a family! Isn't history fun?

Obama's Deconstruction

My question is what happens to Obama's brain when he goes off his teleprompter? The other day on the Daily Show, Jon Stewart famously joked about his "Heckuva job" remark. "You don't really want to use that phrase, dude." Professor Obama then nervously explicated that this had been an intentional pun. In what parallel universe, except Obama's, does his mealy mouthed defense (in imitation of his equally loathed predecessor) of Larry Summers' execrable record as a towel boy for Wall Street have even the faintest resemblance to a pun?
