Thoughts after first read of this book here. Obviously I've subverted nothing. I mean, come on. How can worst-writer, leader of the uselesseater union of the world and advocate for forced early retirement (as long as the women-folk and their feminism pay for it), subvert anything? Unless, of course, subversion is defined by how one …
Another Night Of Not Finding You-Know-Who Or How I Beat It Before Turning Sixty One Last Time
Ok. Obviously there are better things to be done on a Friday night before flying to my beloved homeland Sunday morning. The only question that remains is: what the hell to do Saturday night? In the mean time, here another fabulous quote as I re-read a book. "When individuals are finally emasculated and alone, bereft …
Speculators Be Hanged?
Speculators at megabanks or investment firms such as Goldman Sachs are not, in a strict sense, capitalists. They do not make money from the means of production. Rather, they ignore or rewrite the law—ostensibly put in place to protect the vulnerable from the powerful—to steal from everyone, including their shareholders. They are parasites. They feed …
Becoming What We Defeat
The chapters of this book are titled Days Of... Theft Siege Devastation Slavery Revolt Each chapter of this book takes place in a particular city or town of my beloved #americant. Each chapter goes deeper than the previous into the negative of what makes a once great country no longer great again. And each chapter …
May “Deplorables” Haunt Her Forever
"College educated elites carried out the neoliberal assault on the working poor and now they are being made to pay. Their duplicity embodied in politicians like The Clintons and Barrack Obama succeeded for decades. These elites, many from east coast ivy league schools, spoke the language of value, civility, inclusivity, a condemnation of overt racism …
Yacht Fantasy, Retractable Keels And Why #Americant Is The Dream
Woke up hot and bothered this morn. While walking the dog a local informed me that he's never experienced temperatures like these in Bangelore at this time of year. As I worst-write this weather.com is saying it's ninety-nine degrees fahrenheit outside. It actually feels cooler now than a few hours ago because there was no …

Batsh*t Blue Collar WWE And Failupwards College Grads. A Love Story.
As the GOP deservedly cracks and crumbles this holiday election season, I'm wondering if liberals or those still capable of thought should take a stand on all this hitlerism and fascism krapp that's being thrown around like a volleyball at a sorority party where new recruits are required to prance around for frat boys with big …

Skilful Manipulation
"People are not moved by fact or reason but by the skilful manipulation of emotion." -Chris Hedges
Feminism vs Emancipation
Today a few thoughts on another movie (Fifty Shades of Grey) I won't see. This post is NSFW. Or maybe not. Good luck. Every generation has to have its own mainstream how-to fuck film. I say mainstream because the porn industry isn't really a how-to fuck industry, although that's probably a shame on account it does …
On Facts
The insistence on the primacy of personal opinion regardless of fact destabilizes and destroys the primacy of all fact. -Chris Hedges, American Fascist
Book vs Mirror
American Fascist by Chris Hedges After reading numerous Christopher Hitchens books, delving in various online resources featuring his firebrand contrarian POV, I realized something profound when he died. 1) The man scared the beejeezus out of me. 2) Not only is he the smartest and most well-read person I've ever experienced, but I quickly realized that there'll be …
State Sponsored Injustice
http://youtu.be/joRl9r_cC2U Been following the case of Jeremy Hammond? Or are you just another American't following the butthole of the dollar that rules your measly life? I know. I'm being a bit harsh (for I, as an Expat, follow the butthole of the €uro which ultimately is the same stinky, smelly thing!) What gets me about …
American Illusion 101
Empire of Illusion by Chris Hedges So. Like. When did the intellectual demise of America begin? Could it have begun with the invention of American morality? Wait. Focus. Two things in two sentences that are incompatible. Intellect and morality. I know, I know. To many, America was never really a mecca of intellect to begin …
