The Decline of The Horse

The Decline of The Horse

Waiting at an auto place,
Mourning the decline of the horse,
As good a ride as any,
Except if they went lame.

The Trees

The Trees

By Rush
February 27, 2018

There is unrest in the Forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the Maples want more sunlight
And the Oaks ignore their pleas

The trouble with the Maples
And they’re quite convinced they’re right
They say the Oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light

But the Oaks can’t help their feelings
If they like the way they’re made
And they wonder why the Maples
Can’t be happy in their shade?

There is trouble in the Forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the Maples scream ‘Oppression!’
And the Oaks, just shake their heads

So the Maples formed a Union
And demanded equal rights
‘The Oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light’

Now there’s no more Oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal

By hatchet,
Axe,
And saw…

American Violence

American Violence

"The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas,
or values or religion, but rather by its superiority in applying
organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact, non-
Westerners never do." ~ Samuel P. Huntington

The latest American slaughter of innocents - at home instead of
abroad - has led to the usual outpourings from political leaders
expressing prayers and sympathy and then switching to attacks on
the evil weapons wielders that completely avoid the social system
relying on massive weapons production and their wielding by
military forces glorified for making wars.

The bloody horror in Florida that took seventeen lives is known
to everyone in the USA but that same population is kept relatively
ignorant of the bloody horror being perpetrated everyday in Yemen,
Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and Palestine/Israel – to mention only the
Middle East – by people using the armaments we sell them, when
they’re not being used by our own military which we train to use
our weapons to kill people; foreigners, until further notice.

The guilt tripping about guns belonging to individuals from what
passes for liberals and the protection of the right of individuals to
have guns from what passes for conservatives is the two-sides-of-
the-same-coin debate that does nothing to stop the massive profits
of the weapons industry and the attempted perpetuation of the
empire represented by those profits.

The military styled murder weapon used by the mentally troubled
killer of innocents in Florida is the same one used by allegedly
normal military personnel to mass murder innocent foreigners who
are made to seem enemies and adversaries in the same way the
troubled Floridian may have seen his innocent victims.

And the nature of a society which has suicides increasing along with
mass murders often committed by the suicidal must be distracted
by consciousness control which highlights alleged deformities in
individual character while protecting a diseased social organism
now devouring its own along with outside victims.

It is much easier to feel the shock and pain when we see innocent
Americans suffering at the hands of a usually mentally ill individual
but the mind management that keeps us from seeing the massive
horrors that our social weapons problem produces under the control
of a mentally deranged political economics are never dealt with in
what passes for a debate between people manipulated to
disrespect one another instead of the system that manipulates
them into an easy to control divided population of identity groups
that can’t possibly act as a democracy.

This even as that false definition of reality is driven through the
skulls of both into thinking what each has is democracy and the
other threatens it.

Honest well meaning conservatives reduced to geeks confronted
by sincere dedicated liberals reduced to twits while the weapons
makers continue banking hundreds of billions and leave them
clawing at one another with charges and counter charges at
a court owned and operated by the capitalist munitions industry.

The guaranteed outcome of this demlib-repcon hissy fit form of
politics is the continued economics of mass murder when what we
need is a united confrontation with the minority power that needs
to be replaced in order to save all and not just some of the future
victims.

Until we do that suicides, mass murders, both foreign and domestic
and further economic collapse, are not merely threatened, but
assured.

The Stoneman Douglas Massacre

The Stoneman Douglas Massacre

By Expotera
February 21, 2018

Exactly one week ago today a 19 year old American male walked
into his former high school and killed 17 of his former teachers,
classmates, and fellow, "Americans" while seriously wounding
another 15 others.

Most of those who very tragically loss their lives last week are
still in the process of now being laid to rest by their family members and friends.

Yet some of their former friends and classmates are now acting
like a bunch of extremely self absorbed, "Political Opportunist"
simply because they are now lashsing out as well as choosing
to try to blame and/or, "Demonize" everyone else except for,
"The Shooter" himself, because to blame the shooter, they also
would have to be willing to blame, "Themselves" as well, because
let's face it, he was one of, "Them" and he was also very, very,
well known to all of, "Them" as well.

But over here in America, no one likes to take any responsibility
and/or accept any blame for any of their own family/community
members, "Problems" because in America, it is always some one
else's, "Fault" and some one else is always to, "Blame" as well,
which is why our Country is now well over, "$20 Trillion Dollars"
in debt, yet no one is currently out in the streets, "Protesting"
any of this.

So one week later, "The Stoneman Douglas Massacre" continues on
because here in the United States of America there is simply no
longer any respect for, "The Living" and/or for, "The Dead" for that
matter so in the final and closing words of General Ulysses S. Grant,
"Nations, like individuals, are punished for their transgressions".....

A Million Dollars A Minute

A Million Dollars A Minute

By Judge Andrew Napolitano
Information Clearing House
February 17, 2018

Imagine you open the faucet of your kitchen sink expecting water
and instead out comes cash.

Now imagine that it comes out at the rate of $1 million a minute.

You call your plumber, who thinks you’re crazy. To get you off
the phone, he opines that it is your sink and therefore must be
your money.

So you spend it wildly.

Then you realize that the money wasn’t yours and you owe it back.

Now imagine that this happens every minute of every day for the
next three years.

At the end of the three years, you owe back more than $6 trillion.

So you borrow $6 trillion to pay back the $6 trillion you owe.

Is this unending spigot of cash reality or fantasy?

I am not speaking of Amazon or Google or Exxon Mobil or Apple.

They deliver products that appeal to consumers and investors.

They deal in copious amounts of money because they sell what
hundreds of millions of people want to purchase and they do it
so efficiently that hundreds of thousands want to invest in them.

If they fail to persuade consumers to purchase their products and
investors to purchase their financial instruments, they will go out
of business.

My analogy about all that cash in your kitchen sink that just keeps
coming is not about voluntary commercial transactions, which you
are free to accept or reject.

It is about the government’s spending what it doesn’t have,
the consequences of which you are not free to reject.

Government produces no products that consumers are willing to
pay for voluntarily, and it doesn’t sell shares of stock in its assets.

It doesn’t generate wealth; it seizes it.

And when it can no longer politically get away with seizing,
it borrows.

It borrows a great deal of money — money that it rolls over,
by borrowing trillions to pay back trillions to prior lenders,
and thus its debt never goes away.

Last week, after eight years of publicly complaining that then
President Barack Obama was borrowing more than $1 trillion a
year to fund the government — borrowing that the Republicans
silently consented to — congressional Republicans, now in control
of Congress and with a friend in the Oval Office, voted to spend
and hence borrow between $5 trillion and $6 trillion more than tax
revenue will produce in the next three years; that’s a few trillion
more than they complained about in the Obama years.

That’s borrowing $1 million a minute.

Obviously, no business or household or bank can survive very
long by borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.

Yet the federal government, no matter which party controls
Congress or the presidency, engages in staggering borrowing —
borrowing that will cripple future generations by forcing them
to pay for goods and services that were consumed before they
were born.

The government has often borrowed to meet critical emergency
needs, typically during wartime.

Indeed, the country was born in debt when Alexander Hamilton,
the father of big government, offered the idea that the new federal
government created by the Constitution could purchase the fidelity
of the states by assuming their Revolutionary War debts.

But those debts were paid back using inflation, gold and tax dollars,
and the country enjoyed sporadic periods of nearly debt-free
government.

Then three unhappy events coincided about 100 years ago:
Woodrow Wilson — the father of modern-day big government
— was elected president, and he brought us into the useless
battle over national borders among old European royalty
called the Great War, and he financed American participation
in that first world war using the new printing presses owned
by the new Federal Reserve System.

The $30 billion President Wilson borrowed from the Federal Reserve
and others has been rolled over and over and has never been
repaid.

The federal government still owes the $30 billion principal,
and for that it has paid more than $15 billion in interest.

Who in his right mind would pay 50 percent interest on a
100-year-old debt?

Only the government.

Wilson’s $30 billion debt 100 years ago has ballooned to
$20.6 trillion today.

At the end of President Donald Trump’s present term
— because of the Republican budget signed into law last
week — the government’s debt will be about $27 trillion.

That amount is a debt bomb waiting to explode.

Here’s why.

Every year, the federal government collects about $2.5 trillion
in revenue and spends it all. It borrows another $1.5 trillion to
$2 trillion and spends it all.

To avoid paying back any of the $27 trillion it will owe, the federal
government will need to spend about $1 trillion a year in interest
payments.

That $1 trillion is 40 percent of the revenue collected by the
federal government; that’s 40 cents on every dollar in tax revenue
going to interest on old debts — interest payments that are legally
unavoidable by taxpayers and voters.

Will the taxpaying public tolerate this much longer?

What would happen if taxpayers stopped paying taxes because
40 percent of what they’ve been paying has produced nothing
for them?

Would investors stop lending money to the government because
of fear that the government could not pay them back?

The Constitution requires the government to pay its debts.

Would the government’s creditors acquire control of the
government’s fiscal policy in order to pay themselves back?

The government’s biggest creditor is one of its biggest menaces
— the government of China.

Borrowing money at $1 million a minute is digging a hole out of
which we will never peacefully climb.

President Obama’s and President Trump’s own military and
intelligence chiefs have argued that the national debt — not
the Russians or the Islamic State group or the North Koreans
— is the greatest threat to freedom and security that we face
today.

Why are Congress and President Trump not listening?

Russian Roulette

Russian Roulette

By Alex Kuntz
February 15, 2018

A new town, a new place,
Every day we see them.

They are a blessing and a curse,
To bless us with death.

They're everywhere,
They live among us,
And we love them so.

Point your fingers at the tools,
Point the barrels at yourselves,
It all makes sense in our twisted world.

Call 'em blind, call 'em slaves,
We're all the same.

Clones who can't see the raw truth,
Without a coat of sweet lies.

Sky blue lies,
But the truth runs red,
Like the blood you soak in.

Let's play a game of Russian Roulette,
I'll load the gun and you place the bets.

Who the fuck will make it out?
Who has to die next?

Your standards have not changed in a changing world,
Tradition has been raped of all reason.

So set flame the number two excuse,
Forever engraved in depravity.

How can they kill us without us?
We send each other to the slaughter.

Man turns on man,
Child turns to killer.

Isolation becomes the evil,
And reason is retribution.

So let's play that of Russian Roulette,
I'll load a few guns, you call those risky bets.

How many dead bodies equals logic?
How much longer can we do this?

American Disgrace

American Disgrace

By Expotera
February 5, 2018

This weekend President Donald Trump tweeted the following in
regards to the release of the Republican Memo which now alleges
among other things that the F.B.I. illegally spied on the President
and his Campaign Team back in the 2016 Presidential Election:

This memo totally vindicates "Trump" in probe. But the Russia Witch
Hunt goes on and on. There was no Collusion and there was no
Obstruction (the word now used because after one year of looking
endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead.) This is an
American Disgrace!

Well President Trump the truly biggest, "American Disgrace" which
is now directly hanging over our entire Country, as well as over all
of our heads as it's fellow, "American Citizens" is the now well over,
"$20 Trillion Dollars" of debt which has now been borrowed/stolen
right before all of our very eyes over these past 16+ years by both
George W. Bush and Barack Obama's presidential administrations.

You see President Trump you were basically elected, "President"
back in November of 2016 simply because out on the campaign trail
you promised to do two things that everyone who voted for you,
including myself, wanted to see you do more than anything else.

Those two things were, "Lock Her Up" as well as, "Drain The Swamp"
because by doing these two things the, "United States of America"
would now be very well on it's way to now recovering the well over,
"$20 Trillion Dollars" which has now been borrowed/stolen from it
over these past 16+ years, which at this point, is truly the one and
only way to quote unquote, "Make America Great Again" here in the
year of 2018.

So as long as America along with the American People continue to
allow all of those who have now openly borrowed/stolen the well
over, "$20 Trillion Dollars" from the United States of America and
it's Citizens over these past 16+ years to continue to escape from,
"Justice" our Country, as well as all of it's People will continue to
be, as well as continue to live under the real, "American Disgrace"
which is now known as, "Washington D.C." because in the closing
words of former Missouri Republican Senator John Danforth:

"I have never seen more Senators express discontent with their
jobs....I think the major cause is that, deep down in our hearts,
we have been accomplices in doing something terrible and
unforgivable to our wonderful country. Deep down in our heart,
we know that we have given our children a legacy of bankruptcy.
We have defrauded our country to get ourselves elected."
-- Senator John Danforth
