Dinosaurs

 

 

Yesterday,  I commented on a news item from an online journal with readership in the millions every day of the week. No, it's not the New York Times. I know what you're thinking (while some of you actually believe the NYT has steady support) - it's the opposite.
The Washington Post printed an article a few years ago defining the news aggregator I mentioned as a "Russian propaganda organization" devoted to America's overthrow. 

Bring it on. You're more than welcome ... 

I'm kidding, of course. However, my errant dreams and night terrors may contain content in the near future indictable for Espionage, such is the intensity currently demanding prosecution for thought crimes.

It was 2016, I believe, and the authors of the accusations (numerous web sites were targeted, though fewer then than today's catch all  for "Domestic Terrorists") described every thing that could go wrong during an election, coincidentally, at the same time Hillary Clinton was caught red-handed soliciting private foreign investments while holding the post of US Secretary of State using a secret server to breach US law.  

Their avatar was PropOrNot, the organization of ... well, no one knows who they are, but if it was in print, it must have been true.  In the unimpeachable Washington Post, no less. I never read it, my decision in favor of the proletariat and their suppression via pay walls. Never mind the content. Like all mainstream media today, it mirrors NPR (National Propaganda Radio) but for the occasional, lockstep, vastly heralded scoop. Their reporters are such good instinctual news hounds, sometimes the headlines appear before they occur.

But that's a minor distinction.  Frankly, I was surprised to learn I'd been an embedded Russian agent all along for my embedded preferences of net surfing in favor of independent journalism over poor quality Kabuki theater. This is a serious matter. My chances for arrest and conviction for pre-crimes is imminent, exponentially heightened since January of this year. Essentially, I've been on the run and recorded for the better part of a decade, without being aware of my crimes and intent.

It's not fair. Let the record show I voted to escalate and bomb Vietnam in a poll taken by my elementary school classmates, the survey initiated by our third grade teacher. We seven and eight year old's hearts and minds were in the right place. Denied cartoons and I Love Lucy during JFK's televised funeral proceedings, we'd seen the light. Otherwise, there must be some mistake.

 I imagine the only thing for it is to make a full confession. There are now rumors that dissenters will be offered re-education. If they accept an experimental vaccine. Quite unlike those dangerous Insurrectionists being held in solitary confinement currently. As I stated, I know what it's like to go without Popeye and the Flintstones. Only the nightly Huntley and Brinkley Report of the casualty count of US and Viet Cong dead would prevail over our national grief.

I have failed in the camps once before. For the AFL-CIO union working at the behest of the Obama administration. Should this be held against me? I'm only getting started. I shouldn't let a matter of  a quarter million dollars lost, that's MY quarter million in wages lost, to a multi-billion industry of immigration fraud dissuade me again. Yes, I was an anachronism, a dinosaur, the sole bread winner for my family, performing skilled physical labor besides. We called it craftsmanship. Who does that nowadays? We didn't have personal computers either. Some call it the Dark Ages.  I have since learned my lesson ...

But, doesn't this global coordinated, corporate/government alliance promise that we'll "own nothing and we'll be happy"? I'm ready to embrace the Nanny State if only they'll let me. I've been training martial arts again just for this reason.

. . . but, I digress. Here's a snippet of a new Zerohedge article just from today;


' Coming from a president who needs a teleprompter to be reminded what day it is, it wasn't exactly surprising that Biden refuted the official White House position set just hours earlier on Friday, when White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters, "the way we see this is that we have the tools in our tool belt to fight this, this, this variant," adding, "we are not going to head towards a lockdown." She added that "our goal is to make sure that we are not headed towards that -- that is not going to be the direction that we take, because we have the tools to prevent that," Jean-Pierre said, unaware that her boss would make a mockery of her words just minutes later.

The administration's conflicting comments come as a new study, leaked Friday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, showed that the variant produces similar amounts of virus in vaccinated and unvaccinated people if they get infected, in effect also making a mockery of the entire previous "get vaccinated and be safe" narrative. But there was no choice: the finding "was a pivotal discovery leading to CDC's updated mask recommendation," Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, said Friday. '

You know something? In my trade, if we didn't pick up an impossibly belated schedule, one interfering with a supervisor's early completion bonus, they'd tell us to "take your tools and go home, we don't need you."

I admire this administration's tenacity. They never fail in policy outlines. I've never heard of it happening. Still, I never watch television either. And I quit Facebook. Two laptops gone rogue was enough to dissuade me. It's that old, bait and switch mentality. Or, is it that old, Colonial-Mind Prison Island mentality? Like the movie. Lord of the Flies. When we were kids we played jungle war, too.

Which reminds me. The theme, not my Manchurian Candidate origins. Morgan Freeman even did a Public Service Announcement on behalf of it's sponsors ... I mean, the anonymous investigators with information too top secret to share. This is where Facebook and Twitter come in handy.

I wrote yesterday's essay after midnight, while simultaneously in the throes of a full-throated marital argument. How serious was it? We're both Libras born on the same day.

I think the tension had something to do with communication. Or, miscommunication. About eighteen months in a row of out right balder dash, in fact. You see, it's obvious - there's no denying it. Let alone openly criticizing it. Tempting, for a loner ... but, you need alliances just as much as you need to eat. Or, venture from your house without fear of arrest or beatings, or speaking to others, facing derision for vaccine "hesitancy", buying a copy of the Guardian to wrap fish in, or comforting a suicidal child ...

As for our argument, I think it was some self-deprecatory comment I made. Which, in times like these sounds a lot like "I want to kill your spirit with a rusty pointed barb".

I think I'll save it for the next school board meeting and the coming restrictions. Yes, there will be more. All these prohibitions are coordinated, you see. Repression will continue until morale improves.
Otherwise, if allowed to go back after this carnage, the people will discover how very little of what was good will be left.

And that will inspire the real Revolt.  I mean, it's happened before. Don't take my word for it. History matters. Better to be informed now, don't you think?
