Life in the Empire

This is the end… Ron Paul “reality.”


“Oh man, the bullshit piled up so fast in Vietnam, you needed wings to stay above it."


Captain Willard- Apocalypse Now




The bullshit is piling up so fast in the dying USAon empire, you need anti-gravity to stay out of it. If you haven’t been following the latest (1/7/08) Sibel Edmonds story, Justin Raimondo can wrap it up for you . “We’re in big trouble,” writes Raimondo, “if even half of what Sibel Edmonds says is true.” No shit, Sherlock. Really—there’s lots of shit… a shit tsunami. The warning signs appeared years ago… the anthrax attack , the “dancing Israelis " and “for us or against us.”


It’s all wrapped up with Peak Oil, the climate, and “9-11 Truth.” Scary stuff you betcha, but not nearly as horrifying as the young “libertarians” who have the answer to everything: “Support Ron Paul!” There’s no point in telling them that “elections” are a fraud, their “Republic” is gone and those levers are not connected to anything. They don’t “believe” it. I suppose it’s because they are young… or hopelessly naïve as Ron Paul is.


The Truth, kids, does not care if you “believe” it or not. It is what it is. It stands in the graveyard of your Christmas Future and points a bony finger toward your epitaph… and here is what is written on that cold stone: “You have NO IDEA who you are dealing with.” And who might that be, the “global elite” perhaps? They will stop at nothing. They have no souls, they have no conscience. They will not hesitate commit theft, murder, genocide… even omnicide to be “competitive.” The horrible truth is: THEY are YOU.


“They” did not begin life as lying thieving murdering psychopaths . For whatever reason, they grew into “social dominators,” believing that "Winning is more important than how you play the game." In a culture like the U.S., where “competition” has evolved into a commodity fetish, they will claim the supremacy of “individualism.” In a Stalinist or Maoist culture, they would just as easily claim their actions are for the good of the “collective.” Whatever works… for them.


Ron Paul is a good man who, like many whom he represents, may sincerely believe the U.S. “political system” is at best flawed but workable, at worst broken but repairable. The Truth is, what is called “government” has as much to do with running what is called the “USA” as your Student Government had to do with running your high school. A “president” who decides to “return to the Constitution” is like the student body president deciding to audit the Police Department. Does that sound “defeatist?” Read the stone again: “You have NO IDEA who you are dealing with.”


Whoever “they” are, they have committed crimes against peace, humanity and the entire ecosphere to stuff themselves while the planet starves. They would incinerate you and your whole town alive as easily as they would fart through silk. Ask the citizens of Fallujah. So, why not help them out by yammering about “lower taxes,” “less government” and their favorite: “free-market competition?” They’re bringing an A-bomb to an axe fight, so naturally they think “competition” is swell. What’s in your wallet?


“Voting” and “elections” are like the steering wheel on Maggie Simpson’s car seat. So what… armed rebellion? “They” already thought of that, kid, and if you think “they” are “the government,” you still don’t get it and neither does Ron Paul. We have to invent a new way to suppress these pigs, and it isn’t “voting” for Ron Paul or even Dennis Kucinich, god-love-‘im. They have some great ideas, but the “system” (a collective, by the way) isn’t broken… it’s gone. Deal with it. Otherwise, where do we go but nowhere?


Since deregulation and reducing oversight have worked out so well, Dr. Paul says you can take care of yourself and you don’t need any commie-pinko welfare-nanny-state collectivism to go head-on with General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin. So go for it, young “libertarian.” Your Ayn-Rand Objective is to draw a “for us or against us” line in the sand between individualism and collectivism. It has to be either-or, doesn’t it, so toss away that other oar and row in circles. So go ahead and “create your own reality.” While you’re at it, you may as well drive a stake through your own heart.


Do it while you still have a heart. You no longer have a country.

Thanks curt... specially for pullin my coat to opednews. good platform. maybe there. but there is enough "stuff" out there. It's probably too late. I think the few of us who realize how far gone this really is need to get our railroad together.

Kansas, you say? That's the place? Hmmm... better than North Dakota...

Cascadia ? gotta google that.......wait a sec....

oh ! That cascadia.

Sounds okay.

Kansas kinda came off the top of my empty head. I was born there. Some maps of the Lakota land show a small portion of Kansas as part of Lakota. Too small to mention. I know it gets bitterly cold there in the winter and very hot in summer. Tornados are no real issue....you just stand there and watch them go by or you get outa the way. Easy peasy. It's the buildings we live in that make tornados dangerous ! Peace pipe is a must. Gotta have peace, at least e'ry now and then.

I like your blog entry pertty derned good there Teach but the focus on the Paulites will get ya all kinds a reactions. Thems some rabid folks there, no doubt. On OpEdNews (of which I am thoroughly fed up with btw) right after they showed up in hords, I tried to lure them into reading the PNAC document....Rebuilding America's Defenses. Dumb ass me.....UhmuhriKKKinz can't read ! I was hoping, and still am, that at least ONE would, could, can, did, will. It aint no left and no right things ya got there, man ! Weze all on the train to camp gotcha. It's jiz that some of us got it fingered out. I aint, yet, totally but I know some who have and THEY help me retain my sanity.

I can't be too hard on the Paulites... they're doing WAY better than we Kucinichiks. They're PISSED. We've been pissed so long... we gotta take meds for it. Dennis has the right idea... even HE knows he doesn't have a fucking prayer... and I THINK he knows that if he "won," there isn't much he could do... but hey- a lost cause is the only one worth fighting for.

There's another critical difference between us and the Paulies... they're starting to wake up because THEIR asses are getting bit. We're used to thinking... wait... if they can bite that guy's ass... it won't be long before they can bite MY ass. I don't think it's because we're "better," we just have a longer perspective on the food chain and risk-analysis. WE are the "global elite."

No- we don't run the WTO or anything... but fuck- 30 Africans could live in my house. (Frankly- I'd like to dump this boom-box, but I think it's the only reason Ms. Waldo keeps me around.) Would I WANT 30 Africans to live in my house? Fuck NO. Well... to the rich fatties, WE are no different than the starving bonga bongas in Africa. And if this shit doesn't get fixed wid a quickness, I might have 30 tweekers living in the house using my bones for fucking wind chimes and nose plugs.

The Paulos gotta realize that the "government" aint their enemy and their boss aint their friend. They're the same thing.

Comment by curt on January 12, 2008 at 3:00pm
Oh, I get it. I forgot to remind you ! That's it. Consider yourself "reminded".

the reminder : http://www.opednews.com/maxwrite/diarypage.php?did=5574

googled : nix, nada. Google didn't bite it. Fishing is the best sport. You can have fun and still not win.
