The Pitchforks and Torches log

Seems the peeps might have had enough. The evidence is in the number of increasing violent attacks against the system that the prez likes to call violent outbursts--as if to say they might be random and perpetrated by nut cases.

But, what if they aren't.

Seems recent events might actually be understandable given the desperation and limited alternatives some of these 'violent' individuals were faced with...

Like the guy from Florida who shot his previous employer....

"ORLANDO, Fla. - Jason Rodriguez's marriage long ago went sour, his home taken in foreclosure, his job lost to incompetence, his finances sunk in bankruptcy. It was a "stress overload" for the man accused of a deadly shooting rampage at his former office, his lawyer said Saturday.
The 40-year-old man whose life seemed to just keep getting worse was charged Saturday with first-degree murder, accused of killing one and wounding five Friday at his former office. He said nothing in his brief court appearance Saturday, but his attorney portrayed him as a mentally ill man who fell victim to countless problems."

Then, there is the couple who have been charged with 'torturing' a couple of loan modification scammers...

"LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - As Los Angeles housing advocates launched a campaign warning of mortgage rescue scams, a couple hit by foreclosure are charged with torturing two loan-modification agents they suspected of fraud, authorities said on Monday."

And we all know what happened when the army asked a muslim to go to his 'homeland' and kill his own people. Too bad they couldn't hear his objections.

Anyway...

Here's a good article on the reason we'll be seeing a lot more those violent outbursts in the future.

As Foreclosure Nightmares Increase, Will More Homeowners Pay Off Th...

"The economic crisis revealed late-capitalism's central offense: Human beings are being transparently treated if they were mere transactions. And they're going postal over it."

Or maybe they're beginning to see the entire government as the criminal enterprise it has become, and realize that that's why there's no justice for them. Maybe they now realize that the only way they'll ever experience justice is to take it by force. As Bush once said..."freedom isn't pretty." Maybe the 'war for freedom', has finally come home.

what with the election here and all, eek, I find immersing my mind in English teapots of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, preferably ironstone but not necessarily, and knowing little indeed about them but the singing of my soul at the sight sometimes, ah
sometimes a teapot sings to me

English teapots are the bellows that forge English civility. Every problem can be discussed over a cup of tea.

Wish we were all wearing teapots around our necks instead of crosses.

Of course the appetite for filling English teapots fueled colonial imperialism back in the day....

Mission: America Knowing Jesus because Atlas Left.  How about "Blessed are the merciful..."  because some of sthe "others" who move among us are thousands... maybe millions of years ahead of humans in development of what what we think is intelligence.  When they look into our eyes and see nothing but brain stems, what is going to keep them from grinding us into Zork food?  Mercy... quality of advanced civilizations.  

Krakkerland Volk are Medieval relics... trying to pass themselves off as Cold War relics. Piety and patriotism... the sop of demagogues.  We can't possibly coexist with them indefinitely... but don't worry.  The day after disclosure most of them will vanish.  Oh I didn't take that literally.  There were no Nazis here.

Trust the teapots but not the teatips, it is the teatips that are going to come and get us and rip the dreams from our heads and tear up all our patterns, dragging their gnarled fingers through our muesli.

the Transatlantic Trade and Investment thingy is set to wreck our merry English pigs gambolling in the meadow.

Matthew 19:4-6 is the one verse that (supposedly) cites Jesus on "gender confusion" but it is clearly about divorce.

I gave up researching "911" in 2005.  There is nothing in this video that you do not know... but the pastiche in this video is kinda interesting.   Kinda explains why a few us were banned from the Chump years ago.  

[waldopaper]

Let's see what happens with this video... which has 62 views as of today.  (11:46 am) 4/19/15... 

PZ Myers has been called a "condescending asshole" and so am I.  I drove my entire fam away by being a "condescending asshole," (exact words) and for some strange reason I don't feel like apologizing for shit.  

Most of us were convinced "911" was an inside job at least 10 years ago.  Nobody would buy that shit in my fam... let alone the dim bulbs in the places where I used to work.  I used to ask, just supposing that "inside job" were true... what would that mean to you?  Nothing.  THAT'S what made me a condescending asshole.  

Oh... you're too busy with your "job."  Do you suppose that might be connected to "the economy" (another black box) in any way?  Do you suppose TPTB (sort of a mystery) who are burying you in paperwork might have some kind of "agenda" that might be connected to "the economy?"  Know why everybody laughs at the Laffer curve?  

Do you know what nano-thermite is?  (this usually the point where I get "condescending")  Not even curious?  Can't even bring up key google/ wiki word on your i-phone?  Can't even imagine a connection?  Wow.  Seems like ooo poe widdle feewings (THAT's condescending) are getting in truth's way, isn't it girls?*  

GENDER BIAS!!  GENDER BIAS!!!  (NOW i'm being an asshole).  

It's MEANT to be an insult.  As in, "...the building's on fire.  Get out of the building you fucking twit."   Waaahhh... you called me a fucking twit.  Really?  Wait a few minutes and see if that compares with being BURNED ALIVE.  I really AM a condescending asshole.  

Better to be a CA than a CYA.   

*I only use "girls" as an insult when I am among manly men.  It generally doesn't work with females.
