Vol. 163: 2012 Lived to Grow Into 2013: Thank You for Your Time

     Ladies and gentlemen,  grab a favorite beverage and strap yourselves in, for you may feel some turbulence; but, before I forget, I want thank for your time and consideration in making this another great year of spreading the Outrage. 

"Minn, here's your lawnmower."

     Once again this is Thelonius Ronscpiacy, reporting from the fringes of an infiltrated materialistic society; peering like Samuel L. Jackson from around a barely opened kitchen door in Django Unchained, staring into the inner recesses of the dirty, damp underbelly of popular culture and politics. During my habitual morning strolls in the neighborhood of Northeast Minneapolis, during the dawn of silence, during the running of little grey rabbits and the songs of tiny birds among very little traffic, thoughts float through the transom that is my brain. This cynical mind believes that the Fiscal Cliff plan is a well-devised strategy for the haves to pay a smidgen more in their portion of income taxes, while the disparity of wealth between them and the middle class expands like a mid-westerner's waist-line during the holidays, trapped underneath a never-ending cycle of debt and low-paying jobs that do nothing more than occupy time.

"Later, I gotta get to the next edition of Outrage!"

     Another issue to be Outraged about, is if Adrian Peterson isn't the league MVP, then the NFL should be driven over the Fiscal Cliff and be replaced with Running Man inspired death-matches filled with felonious CEO's, greasy Politicians and cheating bounty producing head coaches.

     Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I'd like to recap with some of the highlights and low lights and gaze with wearied eyes toward the possible dimming light of the American Empire, because in America, middle-aged white men are going to be the minority by 2060. It's just the facts. The demographics. It's the math. So, do yourselves a favor and don't get mad and vote all Republican, trying to hang on to the last remaining hairs on the balding head of what was once plantations and bigotry; now it's just call-centers and shopping malls. Same ends, different means. But that doesn't mean obediently voting Democratic either; I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid; instead pay attention, get educated and stay Outraged!

 

     2012 saw the divide of America grow even larger with the 2012 election. America gladly passed up on the insanity of Rick Santorum and the cardboard cut-out of Mormon Mitt. Instead the election was dissected with the metrics of the electorate into tiny groups of numbers, demographics, sliced portions of the country that are only necessary to win elections, apparently that and a billion and a half dollars. So the America of 2012 has once again been granted with the high expectations of Obama but receives nothing but the thud of tired news. Four more years of pragmatism. So exciting! So inspiring! But wait, maybe there is still more hope that having been re-elected, he's got nothing to lose; will he perhaps overreach? Will the drone strikes killing more children each year than handfuls of Newtown massacres continue to go uncovered by the mass media? Will UFO's come down and wipe out both political parties? One can only hope. Would anyone other than those sleazeballs we've sent to Washington even care? Other than Karl Rove or Nancy Pelosi? Or myself? What would the good Dr. Jack Scharber have me reporting on then? The horror........the horror.

 

      In 2012, our much loved and hated President openly stated that he is for gay marriage. Wow. But it makes a hell of a lot more sense than why were still in Afghanistan and why Guantanamo is still open for business. Mr. President, are you nothing more than a wolf in sheep's clothing?

In 2012, you can now follow the Outrage on twitter.

Just another sign that it's all happening.

     2012 saw the horrors in Syria become more hopeless. A place where 60k people have been killed in the last year and a half and nothing is being, or could even be done to stop it. There was then the terrorist attack in Benghazi, once again Israelis were unable to live surrounded by Palestinians and then there's always Iran, lurking in the weeds. Bibi even drew a line on a white board with a red marker at the U.N. It's that serious.

 

     So, back to the big Saturday morning headlines, the Republican ticket of 2012 had central casting for the role of President to be played by a Mormon with nice hair and a weasel looking guy for Vice President who wants to kick your grandmother out on to the street so they can keep funding the endless-mindless wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and on Drugs. There has only been one Catholic President in the United States and they blew his brains out on a Friday in November in Dallas. What are the chances that a Mormon is going to be sitting in the White House come next January?  About the same as Scientology making any sense; some of you may be thinking the same about me, but I digress.

     In 2012, The Global Outrage of and Educated Man's readership was also introduced to new contributing writer and pop-cultural critic, The Rolling Bone. He brought us his own tongue and cheek critical analysis of two highly anticipated albums of 2012. The Killer's Battle Born and Mumford & Son's Babel.

He gave us his most unique rating system.

5 Corgans=Buy it

4 Corgans=Burn it

3 Corgans=Stream it

2 Corgans=Mock it

1 Corgan=Punch a band member in the face

Here are some excerpts from those stinging acerbically laced reviews.

 

Half Killer/Half Filler
3.5 Corgans

     The Killer’s Fourth album, “Battle Born," follows the band’s usual journey through the decade of Reagan with mixed results this time around. I don’t think Brandon Flowers would appreciate a comparison to “Candle In The Wind” by Elton John, Richard Marx, or Matchbox 20, but he certainly falls short of the men he clearly aspires to be. “Flesh and Bone” quickly builds to a lusher Killer’s style song filled with the kind of larger than life themes the band has come to be known for. “Dark Horses,” “force-fields,” “finish lines” and “raging bulls” stand in the bands way. Brandon Flowers sounds as good as ever; he truly has one of the best and most distinctive voices on the radio dial, and when he sings “don’t call me the contender,” he lays down the gauntlet for all other current musical acts.  With “Battle Born," the Killers attempt to stay at the top of their musical game, but this fourth try feels a little battle-weary. The chops that got them to the top are on full display, but the band seemed unable to continue the fight throughout the album. They go for a big sound and big themes again, but have wound up with an album that doesn’t quite get there. The best three songs on the album sound better than anything their contemporaries usually put out, but the rest of the album is merely just good. Most bands would be satisfied with that, but I have a feeling “the contender” would like another shot at the title.

Mumford & Sons Babel 
2 Corgans

      Everything that sounded unique and fresh about “Little Lion Man” sounds repetitive on this go-around. Almost without exception the songs follow the rock formula that Nirvana made famous two decades ago, Quiet/Loud/Quiet. Scream-folk if you will. Unlike the Mighty K.C. however, Marcus Mumford is unwilling or unable to use his voice as the instrument lacking in the bands lackluster arrangements. Perhaps it’s my untrained American ear, but Mumford has the musical range that William Shatner brings to acting roles. The depressing nature of his lyrics, combined with his monotonous delivery, made for the musical equivalent of sitting next to a freshly divorced drunk guy at the bar. You want to hear him out, you know he’s hurting, but you want to yell at him, “Get over it, buddy.”  “Babel” has the same fast strumming, the same intensity “Little Lion Man” did, but if they were making a musical reference to Bob Dylan with lines about the “watchman’s son” or the “wind that will howl” it was lost on me. It sounded bland, and by third song of the album, pretty damn familiar. Someone should introduce Marcus Mumford to Taylor Swift, so the two of them can compare notes on getting dumped. The band took the blueprint of “Little Lion Man” and tried for 12 more songs that would capture the spirit, and unfortunately the whole dozen came up woefully short. Nice try, I guess. Babel might be great background music for killing a bottle of whiskey, but most of its songs would be better background music for killing a party. My recommendation is save your $15. If you want a similar type experience for the price of a cup of coffee, try this instead:

1) Go to your local coffee shop on “folk night”

2) Ask the barista if you can read his journal

3) Take the seat directly next to the guitarist

     In 2012, there was little word about the Libor Rate scandal. Libor. Look it up when you have the time. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-27/libor-s-trillion-dollar-question.html It's no big deal, just trillions of dollars that were manipulated by the Banksters in England.

     Then, there's the thugs, the idiots, the murderers that call themselves the Taliban, who feel threatened by women with an education. So, they decided to shoot a 14 year old girl named Malala in the head, because she was an outspoken supporter of education for girls. Despicable. Cowardly and insane are these Islamic Fundamentalists, or Fundamentalists of any sort who feel threatened by progress, education and the inevitable.

 

2012 also saw the Outrage receive a shot across the bow from future sporadically contributing content writer, Double T of the GOP.

Dear Outrage,

 Democratic compassion = the amount of people that get stuff. We’ve reached the proverbial tipping point. More people getting a handout than aren’t means America will continue to vote in democrats until our demise.

 Just look at California, they have billions and billions of debt and they vote in a liberal super majority. This will be very instructive for us to see, however the liberals will be blinded by blaming everyone but themselves.

 Sincerely,

 Double T of the GOP



"Is there a more comfortable place we could talk?"

     On Tuesday, November 13th, 2012 a total solar eclipse took place that was mostly visible from the coasts of Australia, while we as Americans were experiencing an eclipse of a different sort; the ever intriguing, ever deepening webs of interwoven emails and correspondences in the feet beneath the desks of now former CIA Director David Petraeus, the once golden-boy of the military establishment who has been brought low by his inability to keep his hands to himself, and off his biographer Paula Broadwell.  The mess just seemed to spread like a toxic spill out of a BP oil rig. Apparently the US General Commander of troops in Afghanistan, John Allen, was involved in all of this as a result of email correspondence that he had developed with a Florida socialite by the name of Jill Kelley.

      Like a bad plotline out of high school, Ms. Broadwell got wind of emails sent by Jill Kelley to CIA Director David Petraeus, and like a lover scorned, sent harassing emails to Ms. Kelley, all of which set off a chain reaction that has kept the media spinning their wheels ever since, trying to play catch up.  Will wonders never cease? The head of the CIA couldn't keep a secret. You can't make this stuff up. The former commander of the "surge" in Iraq and Afghanistan has had a extra-marital affair end his career. Bill Clinton knows how that feels, but then again, he's got Hillary and his daughter Chelsea to pick up where he left off. But oh, how the mighty are brought so low, and so quickly. Hell, it shouldn't have been too surprising, we can't even keep our Secret Service agents from keeping secrets, in what I imagine to be wasn't the first time. Hell, you're in Columbia and prostitution is legal. Hookers and blow, go hand in hand like politicians running from a crucial vote, or kicking the Fiscal can further on down the road.

    


Lilith

     Historically, witches are the true counter-culture agents. They've been allegedly known to have extraordinary supernatural powers. They've come in the forms of the enchantress, the sorceress, the woman out of control. The biblical Lilith with long red hair, practicing cannibalism and infanticide.What's not to love? Minus the eating of children of course. Except for the red hair, "Is that you Michelle?" But seriously, witches strike up the power of suggestion, the power of the imagination. The power of belief. How else did the benign wise women of the pagan past turn into the malevolent figures of the evil Witch? Instead, they've become women with a lustful insatiable appetite for power. The Kardashians? Snooky? Hilary? How else do you explain it? During the "burning times" in Europe when the Inquisition was rounding up heretics, like Fox News host Sean Hannity rounding up "great Americans," there were towns in Germany where there weren't any women left. Maybe Todd Akin and the rest of his GOP pals would love it? But then again, who would they legitimately rape? Each other? They already have that on their Saturday night agendas. Speaking of Saturdays, during one Saturday in the Middle Ages in a town in Germany, 139 people were burned at the stake. Now I know from where Dick Cheney's hatred hath spawned. So, maybe instead, we should all try to live the witches creed, "Do what thou wilt, but harm no one."

 I will not give the sick coward more recognition; there is no need to mention Newtown again.

"Don't believe a word I said."

     Which leads us to the enemy the men that huddle among the redwoods of  Bohemian Grove would like you to believe. The ones behind the mess of the whole year, the smoking dragon in the cave, the shadowy lurking figures of darkness who are truly behind the mess we as Americans have been experiencing for the last 10, 15, 20, 25 years......China. We aren't at war anymore with the USSR and the War on Terror hasn't been too exciting without it's leading man Bin-Laden crouching in the desert firing AK-47's as his henchmen run through jungle-gym equipment, and God forbid we should actually take responsibility for our actions. We have Congress to do that for us. They get stuff done. Right?
     The enemy of America is China. Yep, the same country that buys all of our Treasury Bills; they and the Federal Reserve; but, you'll never hear a hand-picked goon like Obama or Romney trash the Federal Reserve. They know who writes and signs the checks. It's not that they just print more money out of QE3 thin air or anything of significance like that. Ssshhhhh, be very quiet. The Federal Reserve is always listening. The Fed isn't to blame in any of this. Allen Greenspan was always doing what was best for the American people. How did that little weasel escape unscathed from the economic debacle? Maybe the answer is the same reason his wife, Angela Mitchell, is a puppet for NBC News. But I bet you already knew that? Ben Bernanke can be trusted. No, no, no, it's China and their currency manipulation that has ruined this country. So, look out China, bend over and take your spanking, but just don't take any of it seriously; trust us, because the check's going to be coming in the mail. You'll get your money. But according to the USPS, it may not be for quite some time. Were broke.

Rufus: Lord of the Dogs: He made toothpicks out of logs.

     The year 2012, also saw the loss of one of my truly dear good friends. A friend who saw me through the thick and thin and was gracious enough to host me at his rehabilitation facility in the north woods of Wisconsin back in 2004 when I so desperately needed a re-birth. From the many walks in the woods to the tennis balls hit into the pond, Rufus, you are missed and always will be. In his absence, being that the ever powerful all encompassing force of the universe works in entertainingly mysterious ways, a miniature version of him has been received with open arms and open hearts; may you someday meet Kanaan in person; his world is all milk n' honey.

     Which finally leads me to ask, where has all the quicksand gone? It used to be all over in the television shows in the 70's and 80's, and now, it's nowhere to be found. Maybe it's because most of the middle class is stuck in it, and the need to put it on television would be like trying to get a politician to be honest; the desire is pointless; it's just not possible. Maybe it's been replaced instead with our love affair with zombies. What does that say about our culture? Do we see ourselves as brain-dead, greedy, hungry and dead-inside just stumbling through our lives from one chaotic scene to the next? I hope not. Ohhhh a shiny new electronic gadget.

     Unfortunately it may be the way things are supposed to happen, but so many of us only live and experience life in the digital ether of the wireless world, without even touching the ground; we have no actual sense of reality, we live only in our minds; but then again, that may be the best alternative given the state of the world we find ourselves living in.  We are in the Age of Aquarius and entering the 5th dimension of reality. Those who are prepared will find the transition cumbersome, but not too difficult as to be fruitless. Those stuck with the materialism of the 3rd dimension; well, you can already hear their subconscious screams of agony amongst their silent obedience to the herd mentality. Republicans and Democrats, Republicans and Democrats. Baaaahhhhhhh. The cycle of upheaval and massive cosmic change is shifting under our feet as I speak. There are tornado storms on the surface of our Sun the size of the state of Texas!!! All of that energy has to go somewhere, and believe me, it is coming.

It's all going according to plan. Trust me.

Vol. 162: Only Days Away; Newtown could be Anytown

     Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen, this is once again Thelonius Ronscpiacy from the outer fringes of an infiltrated society. With the Earth ready to be in direct alignment with the center of the Milky Way galaxy on 12/21/2012 in a once every 26,000 year event, people the world over will be readying themselves in preparation for either the end of the world, or simply the entering into the Age of Aquarius. Whether this will mean the end of civilization as we know it or just another step towards the imposition of a One World Government where everybody will be chipped with a tracking device other than the one we carry in our hands; the latest cellular phone that many of us had to stand in line for hours to purchase. No, we're not crazy. So, for those of you who wish to do some last minute shopping here is a link to a list of things one will need in order to survive the ever-looming Apocalypse or inevitable Fiscal Cliff. http://www.survivetheapocalypse.net/2010/05/18/100-items-to-disappear-first-after-the-apocalypse/

     Thoughts of Outrage:


"Do my eyes yell 'crazy'?"

          1. A week ago there was a mass shooting at a mall in Clackamas, Oregon and of course last Friday, December 14th, 20 school children, between the ages of 6 & 7, and 6 adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, were killed by yet another mentally disturbed 20 year old white adult male who apparently never said a word during the entire time of his demonic possession. It was another senseless, cowardly, and evil act of violence that has left its horrible stain on the lives of Americans. The shooter's mom was supposedly a gun enthusiast (according to the left-leaning media; but that doesn't mean there are a number of school shootings in places like Montana or Wyoming), and was the first of the shooter's targets......as she rested in her bed she was shot multiple times. The shooter then destroyed his computer and hard drive by dropping heavy objects upon it, before he drove to the school to continue to his psychotic rampage; which has led this oftentimes deranged author to speculate, why? Was there evidence of MK-Ultra mind control experiments on his computer? Was it another Manchurian Candidate? And where did that black and white grainy crazy eyes photo of him come from? That can't be a yearbook photo, he was home schooled. According to police reports, the shooter planned on doing much worse with more than 100's of rounds of ammunition that went unused. What has become apparent in this day and age is that there is an inherent need for more attention to be given to combat and treat mental illness as well as to continually look for the warning signs and eliminate the causes if and when at all possible. One thing is clear; we cannot regulate our way out of the horrible cesspool we find ourselves dealing with, and as a result of what seemingly has become normalcy, the horrible massacre has brought with it, is yet another orgiastic feast by all things media (I am no better), thrusting surviving children in front of cameras to answer questions from reporters with microphones as appendages. Which leads to more unsettling questions; are these mass shootings, more than 65 have occurred in the U.S. since Rep. Gabby Giffords was shot in Arizona in 2009, are these mass shootings a result of the relaxation of cultural norms at the expense of the collective of society? Are individuals being granted too much freedom to do and say whatever they want, and they feel they are justified in their right to do so? Sounds almost Luciferian doesn't it? Someone go dig up the bones of John Milton, he's got some questions I'd like him to answer.

          2.  If Leonardo DaVinci had been born in the 1940's and had been a folk singer, he'd be Bob Dylan. If God were a running back, he'd be Adrian Peterson.
         

          3. Raising the taxes on the top 2% of earners is just a nod to the growing displeasure of the overwhelming class disparity in pay.  The instinctual backlash towards those who have, from those who have not. Sadly, I don't see either side working with each other in Washington, and therefore, a Fiscal Cliff deal will not be made. Instead, both sides will once again point their fingers at each other; Boehner vs. Obama, Mcconnell "the human turtle" vs. Pelosi, and the United States will ironically melt into the sea along with the Fox News denying evidence of climate change melting polar ice in the Arctic.
         
          4.The United States government has issued another stern warning toward Syria if they were to use chemical weapons on their own people. Syria's scared response was to fire a scud missile at their opposition. Stern warnings work so well. Just take a look at North Korea. Firing rockets into the air like unchaperoned young boys around the 4th of July. Someone is liable to blow a finger off. Or possibly a dangerous explosion in the cab of an Bengal Blue 88' Ford Ranger.......forcing the passenger to then dive out the cab door and into the ditch. It's in the works?
         
          5. Only the inconsistent Minnesota Vikings can have Adrian Peterson rush for over 200 yards against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau and lose by 9, and then the following week win ugly at home against the Bears; and these guys are getting a new stadium? I'll support it if they land Johnny Football at QB; because in the opinion of this author, Christian isn't gonna save this organization from the lions of the NFL.
         
    6. How surreal of an experience was it, watching the 3 remaining living members of one of the greatest rock'n'roll bands of all time, Led Zeppelin, on David Letterman 2 weeks ago? It was as if someone dipped my fingers in Timothy Leary quality LSD as I felt the tightening of my stomach from eating too many magic mushrooms, reminiscent of feeding groupies to sharks in Holiday Inn swimming pools. The warm smell of teenage basement gatherings. Then, Jim from The Office had to follow Led Zeppelin. Somewhere in either Heaven or Hell, Jimi Hendrix was laughing about the Monterey Pop Festival of 1967. Pete Townsend is laughing at the irony as well; that and the fact that he's still alive. But really, the title of his autobiography is Who I am?? Then again, it made no sense to this author until his lovely better half pointed it out to him. That's right, he was in the band The Who. Too many trips made in the basement maybe? Light the incense. Speaking of which, only in America, the land of no common-sense, only corporations; in the state of Washington can you now possess up to an oz. of pot if you are over the age of 21. But, you can't grow it, or buy it, so it has to fall from the Heavens like Manna to the Israelites; call it Mannijuana?
         
          7. Did the Royals murder another person who got in the way of their royal bloodline? The U.K. nurse caring for Princess Kate, who answered the prank phone call from two Australian D.J's, was found dead from an apparent suicide just days later. It is sad and tragic......and of course someone has to be to blame for all of this, but it's not the D.J's. How about blaming the media with their incessant coverage of all things Royal Family? Just a thought, hell blame me, Thelonius Ronscpiacy. The more you dig into the nefarious dealings of the people in power, the scarier it all becomes. I feel like David Ferrie in  Oliver Stone's magnum opus, JFK.

 

 

 

8. The cost of shipping two stuffed animals and two children's books, making sure that they are to be received by Christmas day, thanks to the good profitable people at UPS, $60?!!! UPS is going strong, the United States Postal Service is going bankrupt, because unlike UPS, the United States Postal Service isn't butt-raping their customers.

 

          9. After having just finished reading a brilliant book, Life of Pi, and recently having seen the genius of a film by filmmaker Ang Lee, I have found that the central theme throughout both works of art, is that there are basically two ways to view one's life. One can either choose to see things as having both meaning and a deeper purpose, or one can simply choose to see things as mere chance coincidence. In the end, each one of us gets opportunities, throughout our lives' to choose which way we will live our lives. Now, if only we could find a better way out of traffic jams due to winter storms of wet snow coating highways with a layer of ice filled chaos and extremely slow driving. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and long live Festivus. Here's to hoping we make it through the end of the world cosmic changes of the Mayan calendar, and the looming fiscal cliff.

  

Just a little more live Europe for you. Joey Tempest and the boys still bring it.

Vol.161: Red Light, Green Light



Did your Thanksgiving Dinner guests look like these people? Add some skinny jeans and some bicycles, and you can see them all at Grumpy's in Nordeast.

     Greetings from Thelonius Ronscpiacy,

     A couple of weeks ago, I watched the film Red Lights. It was a major studio release this past summer that didn't get too many favorable reviews, which starred the once incomparable Robert Deniro as the character Simon Silver, a medium of extraordinary powers. The exact opposite of the Robert Deniro who in recent years hasn't been in a decent film since Casino in the mid 90's. Like all artists I suppose, they have their peak years and then they have their valleys where they just receive paychecks. The film's subject matter was what may be considered to be on the fringe of science and skepticism, sort of like denying that there is something drastically wrong with climate change, ie; Arctic Ice melt the size of the U.S in the past year. The film dealt with seances and mediums and the dismissal of miracles. What Sigourney Weaver's character in the film called "discordant notes." The "red lights" are the little oddities, the slight and singular differences we experience in our lives and rarely take notice of or for that matter, most of the time, take for granted.

     I start with this because I believe we experience the phenomenon all of the time and maybe it's my job to bring those things to light. To drag them kicking and screaming out from the dusty cobwebbed corners of the recesses of our collective subconscious and expose them for what they really are, subjects, topics, moments worth further investigation; ie; the Fiscal Cliff that looms over the shoulder of the madness of Black Friday. The Gaza ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, hoping that it will last longer than a Kim Kardashian marriage, even though the military exercises for Israel seemed to be nothing more than preparing for the inevitable between themselves and Iran. Egypt has a new Pharaoh in town, and his name is Morsy; not the emo-British crooner, although to some in the Muslim world, that may be worse. As result, the Tahrir Square is looking once again like a riotous diplomatic version of New Years New York's Time Square, minus Ryan Seacrest, the alcohol and corporate sponsors. Then there is Susan Rice, the U.S Ambassador to the U.N who was shockingly mislead by intelligence given to her by the CIA; I know, can you believe it? The CIA playing mind games, or maybe Petraeus's hands were tied at the time while Paula Broadwell read to him Fifty Shades of Grey?  Did you know, that the White House's pick to replace Mrs. Clinton as Secretary of State, Susan Rice, has millions invested in Canadian energy companies, companies that would gain handsomely if the XL Keystone Pipeline is built, and would only be built if whomever was Secretary of State at that time signed off on it? Once again, I'm not making this up. How convenient it would be for Ms. Rice. Then again, it's all just coincidence. Right? Or is it?

     Another sign that we may be living in the last moments of human civilization and from what I would gather has biblical scholars the world over, scratching their heads and readying their panic-rooms and bomb shelters, is the fact that on 11/28/12 in front of the U.N, Palestinians made a bid for a status upgrade to become a recognized state. They don't recognize the state of Israel, but they want to be recognized? If only to bring crimes of humanity against their Jewish neighbors. Oh, the middle-east, such a peaceful vacation destination. I'm surprised Disney hasn't opened a theme-park there. Think of the tourism.
     God definitely has a sick sense of humor. Three major religions have the exact same city as their gateway to the divine, and no, it's not Las Vegas. It's all just coincidence. These are just some of the recent "red lights" worth investigating. 
     Then there are the four legs of the table that are holding the brittle financial world a float, before the table-cloth is magically pulled out from under our enormously packed American sized plates, according to many Economists, which is just another name for "paid guessers," are Housing, Europe, China and Oil Prices. Which leads me to ask, what is the next big race? We've had the Space Race, the Arms Race, the Amazing Race, but what's next? The Face Race? A mad run for all things cosmetic surgery related, or are we already there? See magazine stand at nearest check-out aisle. But, I digress.

"I'm Sexy and I know it." Now that's Gangnam Style!

     Our ever expanding global economy brought yet another glad tiding of its promise in the horrible and terrible tragic results of a massive garment factory fire in Bangladesh in recent weeks. The fire killed more than a 100 meagerly paid workers who had no way of escape, being that there wasn't a proper fire exit readily available for them. Instead, many chose to jump out of windows to their death while others were burnt alive; all so companies can mass produce clothing brought to you by Puff Daddy aka Sean Combs......ironically they all went up in a "puff" of smoke. I'm not making this up. How much coverage did this horrible event gather in the U.S media? Oh, that's right, why bring the truth of our futile efforts at happiness through a consumer oriented society to light when we are in the midst of our Moloch inducing Holiday season. Just feed the beast more children. Appease its appetite with the young and uneducated. The world takes to the streets in protest of draconian austerity measures, the U.S takes to the malls to go shopping.

     How dumb and uniformed is the North Korean regime these days? They bought the gag brought about by The Onion that Kim Jong-Un is the World's Sexiest Man.  

    On another note, we are only years away from being driven automatically by self-driving vehicles. Google has already driven over 300k miles in a self-driving vehicle with the help of 3-D cameras and GPS satellites. Think of it, no more sober-cabs. No more worries about how you're going to get home from the office holiday party. Nope, those days are over. Instead, your boss and upper management will find more time and more work for you to do on your daily commute into and away from the office each day. More time to text, to check email and work on spreadsheets. Awwwww, the American Dream. Or if you are being chased by the goons of the military industrial complex on a dream vacation trip to Mars, you may experience the annoying blow-back of technological advances in your face. So, in closing, when you do see "red lights" and the little light in your head goes off, enjoy it, observe it and take it all in. Find the deeper meaning in these little blips on your radar as you find yourself so easily distracted, confused and annoyed. These and hopefully this blog and its' moments unlike the film Red Lights, are worth reading and watching. So, do yourself a favor and save your time, save yourself.

Sincerely,

Thelonius Ronscpiacy

Dear Outrage,

Democratic compassion = the amount of people that get stuff.  We’ve reached the proverbial tipping point.  More people getting a handout than aren’t means America will continue to vote in democrats until our demise.

Just look at California, they have billions and billions of debt and they vote in a liberal super majority.  This will be very instructive for us to see, however the liberals will be blinded by blaming everyone but themselves.

Sincerely,

Double T of the GOP

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for your time, patience and consideration.

A little more Arnold before you go. Enjoy.

Tell your Friends....Spread the Outrage!

Vol. 160: Will Wonders Never Cease??

     World War III may well have started on 9/11/01. But did you know, exactly ten years to the day, before that never to be forgotten date that started the War on Terror, is when then President George H. W. Bush gave his "New World Order" address to Congress. Maybe, it's all just coincidence?? Or is it?
     On 9/11/01 four hijacked planes by 18-19 men of Saudi Arabian origin, armed with box-cutters, commanded from a man in a cave, crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon (of which, all anyone has ever seen of a plane hitting, is just 4 frames of grainy film) and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Immediately, the United States Military apparatus and intelligentsia stated that it must have been their one time ally against the Soviets, Osama Bin Laden. They couldn't stop it, but yet they knew immediately who did it. This from the same powers that took 8 years to get the supposed mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed to confess in Guantanamo. I thought terrorists loved taking credit for what they did? That's why they made suicide tapes, right?
     What followed was perhaps blue-printed long ago. The Patriot Act was immediately passed and enforced. Only two U.S Senators voted against it and one of them ended up dead in a plane crash one year later, Paul Wellstone. Was that a message sent to detractors? We then invaded Afghanistan to get rid of the Taliban, the same organization funded by the United States military to oppose the Soviets when they were our cold-war enemy, and then we invaded Iraq to rid Saddam Hussein of WMD's that we most probably gave him to fight Iran. We know what has happened since.
     Now, after the Arab Spring and the rapid spread of chaotic forms of Democracy rampant throughout the Middle East, the breaking point may have just been reached. The Israeli Defense Forces assassinated the military leader of Hamas (considered a terrorist organization by Israel/ but if you are a Palestinian you would think otherwise) and Hamas responded with a statement that Israel may have just "opened the gates of hell." Israel has called up 75,000 troops for a possible ground offensive into Gaza. Stay tuned for more developments, but it all plays eerily into the 12/21/12 end date? With much knowledge, comes much suffering. Ignorance is bliss. But then, why are so many Americans on anti-depressants?

     On Tuesday, November 13th a total solar eclipse took place, mostly visible from the coasts of Australia, but we as Americans have been experiencing an eclipse of a different sort, and that's been in the form of the media coverage of the ever intriguing, ever deepening webs of interwoven emails and correspondences in the feet beneath the desks of now former CIA Director David Petraeus, the once golden-boy of the military establishment who has been brought low by his inability to keep his hands to himself, and off of his biographer Paula Broadwell.  As a result, the FBI has also searched the Charlotte, North Carolina home of Ms. Broadwell. The mess just seems to spread like a toxic spill out of a BP oil rig. Apparently the US General Commander of troops in Afghanistan John Allen is involved in all of this as a result of email correspondence that he had developed with a Florida socialite by the name of Jill Kelley.

Like a bad story out of high school, Ms. Broadwell got wind of emails sent by Jill Kelley to CIA Director David Petraeus, and like a lover scorned, sent harassing emails to Ms. Kelley, all of which set off a chain reaction that has kept the media spinning their wheels ever since trying to play catch up.
     Will wonders never cease? The head of the CIA couldn't keep a secret. You can't make this stuff up. The former commander of the "surge" in Iraq and Afghanistan has had a extra-marital affair end his career. Bill Clinton knows how that feels, but then again, he's got Hillary and his daughter Chelsea to pick up where he left off. But oh, how the mighty are brought so low, and so quickly.
     This all leads to the million dollar question, and that is, "When did the White House know?" In all probability they did know, long before election day came and went. I know that the CIA director's personal life has no real bearing on politics, but you have to imagine it would have played a factor in the results of the Presidential election. Another central issue at the heart of the matter is also that concerning the terrorist attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya on 9/11/12, and what possible prior knowledge of an imminent attack was shelved?? So, if they can go through the emails of the director of the CIA, I have to imagine, mine as well as any of yours is fair game as well; that is the most scary and pressing issue at heart. Now ask yourself, do we live in a National Security State? Please see Mr. George Orwell for further questions.

     As a result of the aforementioned messes, little attention was paid by the American media establishment over the mass protests in the European Union over austerity measures and rising unemployment numbers. Instead we get dire concerns over "5-hour Energy" drinks, because that is some scary scary stuff!!! And only two states passed legislation to legalize the recreational use of marijuana on November 6th; Washington and Colorado?? When was the last time someone died as a result of an overdose of marijuana? That's right, never. Good thing the FDA allows numerous supplies of energy drinks readily available to the masses. But that's not the only interesting thing coming out of the air in Colorado. There have been numerous sightings of UFOs over the Denver area in the last couple of weeks, and all occurring between the hours of noon and one in the afternoon. But none sighted in the late hours of the evening when the munchies usually strike? Interesting. Maybe the legalization has already taken effect?? Or has it?

7 Men that Rule 1/5th of the World's population

     Another world changing event has been taking place over the last couple of weeks, and that has been the 10 year regime change rotation of the new heads of the Chinese Communist Party. All one needed to see was the number of press correspondents at the unveiling on Thursday, noon Bejing time, November 15th to see how important China's role in the world has become. There was what looked to be a thousand members of the press crowded into rows a long rectangular shape airplane hangar, seven rows deep to cover the spectacle.

     Has anyone noticed that there are quite a number of high level officials and CEO's resigning or leaving office unexpectedly, or is it just me? Where are they going and why are they so eager to leave? Do they know something that we don't? Or is just the normal happenings of year end changes?
     The man who gets weasel of the week is former Connecticut Light and Power's CEO who couldn't stand the pressure after Hurricane Sandy and resigned. Maybe he too, wanted to have his "life back" like BP's Tony Hayward? Proof once again that most of these weasels only get to where they are by things other than common sense and decency.
     Finally, for all of those in the GOP who have found their foundations shaken to the core, take this song to heart. There is still the fiscal battle to fight. And for those of you worried about the possible end of the world; in order for one thing to begin, something else must end. Growth in an economy cannot go on forever. Sooner or later, everything has its limits.

Vol. 159: The Mornings After

     Wipe the sleep from your eyes and the realisation that you may have woken up, next to someone you wish you hadn't. I of course am speaking of the results from Election night. The Ohio States of America election gave us the results some of us longed for. For others, the results from last Tuesday's election may be causing nightmares. There may be many more sleepless nights to come. In the end, it took an election to tell us that we don't really have too popular of a President.  Somewhere, George W. Bush is grinning like a son of a...............

     Who would've thought Obama would win because of the economy? Or was it Hurricane Sandy? Or was it the lack of a genuine Romney? Or was it all that "legitimate rape" going around. There isn't much Bird Flu this year. How do you explain it?  It almost felt like 2004 all over again. Flip the parties over and replace John Kerry with Mitt Romney and it was as if there wasn't an actual opponent. Just a cardboard cutout that looked Presidential. His arms moved, he smiled and he walked around. What happened? Que the song "Everybody Knows" by Leonard Cohen. 

     Then again, Obama must have stronger blood-ties to the British Royal family than Mitt Romney. They don't get to these positions based on good public speaking. George W. Bush and Mark Dayton could tell you that.  The GOP leaders must be scratching their tired bald greying heads and asking themselves, "How did we not win this thing? Somebody, anybody, put a pillow over Chris Christie's head?! How did we let that Fred Flintstone of a Governor give a bear-hug to Obama?! And that close to the election?!? Can you believe four more years of an African-American telling us what to do?!"
    
To those angry at the results, you have another four years of trying everything possible to get nothing done, and to those grinning from ear to ear, the Obama re-election won't mean a thing if Congress continues its path of worthlessness. But hey, at least we have someone to drive the car off the Fiscal Cliff. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

     I actually thought there was the slimmest of chances that the election could have been postponed due to the State of Emergency that became Perfect Storm Sandy. They had to postpone/cancel the NYC Marathon after what would've been a public relations nightmare. Now the poor, angry, and often times caricatured rude people of New York and New Jersey have to deal with a Nor'easter, and that's not a bunch of drunks on a pedal pub either.

     But, instead, we woke up on Wednesday morning to the beautiful chance of marijuana finally being legal for recreational use in Colorado and Washington; but, that's of course before the Federal Government steps in, and what may have to result in a case reaching corrupt steps of the Supreme Court; ie., Citizens United. So, here we go again. The lawyers will be the ones getting richer, but thank God, the "hanging-chad," didn't rear his ugly head.  Fortunately, the never ending tour of campaign season has come to an end and so we get a brief respite of one and half years, until the next one starts all-over again. You hear that Koch brothers, start saving your money. You may actually get to buy the next one.

     So, ladies and gentlemen, on a final note, the Revolution is coming. Mark it on your calendars and start preparing your bomb shelters. On November 13th, 2012 the continuing birth pangs are going to become more noticeable. There is definitely something stirring in the air, and no, it's not the sweet smelling air coming in from Colorado and Washington; we couldn't be so lucky. The upheaval, the riots, the turbulence of tumult is twisting and tightening its grip faster than the United States heading towards the Fiscal Cliff. Or faster than my little man Kanaan coming towards you in Northern Wisconsin. We've been warned. Everything that's happening is happening all over again.
