G. G. Bain The new Queensboro (59th Street) Bridge over the East River, NYC 1909 • The Coming Clash Between Bernie And Biden (Pol.) • Joe Biden
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle January 14 2020]David Graeber on Brexit. Excellent.
“Insofar as they dreamed of anything, now, it was of finding some British equivalent of Barack Obama, a leader who looked and acted so much like a visionary, who had so perfected the gestures and intonations, that it never occurred to anyone to ask what that vision actually was (since the vision was, precisely, not to have a vision).”
Graeber is great! And spot on…
We always seem to fall for the sleaziest, slimiest, smoothest talking, SOB’s extant…
Rhetorical question; why is that?Nah, some of us never fall for their acquisitive shit and answer back with competence another term co-opted by feckless managers and sociopaths they serve. I dont recommend choosing this path as it leads invariably to isolation and diminished self-respect no matter the inherent ego strength.
Then there is this: “”Now friggin Lion Air might need a sim to fly the MAX, and maybe because of their own stupidity. I’m scrambling trying to figure out how to unscrew this now! idiots,” one Boeing employee wrote in June 2017 text messages obtained by the company and released by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.”
Lest anyone delude themselves into thinking this base rhetoric only exists buried deep within company emails, the official mishap reports not accessible by the public contain much worse operator/victim-blaming even when mechanical failure was determined to be the causal factor in the crash.
And in medicine, it’s far worse.“Healthier Looking Julian Assange Filmed Briefly”
“Assange May Walk Free Thanks to CIA Bumbling: Former NYT General Counsel”What a surprise. Speaking of, the Awan brothers are reappearing too. Then we’d have a lot of talking about what went on in ’16 and before. …But asking is itself an impeachable offense. In a nation of lies, the only crime is finding the truth.
On the other side, as a major corporation in a corrupt area that no doubt has a ton of dirt as well as negotiating strategy leverage, Burisma suddenly says they’ve been hacked. – Insert surprised face– You’re a CORPORATION, of COURSE you’ve been hacked. You and every other corporation on earth, every day. But although they don’t have anything specific except some guys did some things, they’re sure Vladimir Putin sat down at a keyboard and typed code himself. …And not because it’s crucial to Russia’s gas and oil strategy with their nearest neighbor: heavens no!!! Non-white peoples such as slavs are treated, have no reality, no free agency, no motives of their own. They are but coolies the Swedish girl’s burden must order around! No, these unknown hackers – who must be FSB, and must be from Putin, despite living in the most corrupt, hacked nation on earth – they did it only and EXCLUSIVELY to hurt Joe Biden. OF COURSE!!! RussiaRussiaRussia! You knew they were Jonesing for it. Like all good addicts.
Moral of the story: all things that happen on earth are FROM Russia, and ABOUT Joe.
And despite furious attempts otherwise, appears Iran DIDN’T know, and assumed the U.S. shot down their plane for some reason (to have our Deep State, who totally would and probably did arrange it, start WWIII as they published and discussed for 50 years) and are going to go find the poor saps who either were paid or punk’d into doing it. Media now says “Muh, scapegoats, fake trial!”, with no evidence whatsoever of anything, pro or con, ‘cause it could only ever possibly be on earth that Iran is ‘Muslim State Bad’. Thanks, morons of the right, you’re swell. All that fake news you digested back in the 80s is still working a treat. Despite believing nothing now, you still believe everything your heard then. Sigh.
Point however: are we not wildly closer than ever to a real and lasting peace? Just like NoKo? Not easy, building trust takes time and events. But aren’t we? “Bill Blain: Is Donald Trump Just an Extremely Lucky Guy?” Uh huh. You only get lucky day after day, year after year, because you sit around the White House eating Cheetos and watching cartoons all day. Yup!
Trying a new spin: Trump authorized the Iran attack 7 months ago (as in, “not because of imminent attack” despite that there WAS an embassy attack, that very minute). Uh, yes, duh. IF the Iranian Guard is a Terrorist organization AND Soleimani is their head, AND was specifically named, as was done years and years ago under Obama, THEN yes, of course, absolutely and by law he is and must be a ‘legal’ target. As said, day 1 of listing under Obama and every day since then, but sure, they probably re-reviewed it seven months ago. So? The only reason that matters is that everyone are such liars that they’re genuinely SURPRISED when their words are turned into action. “Muh, what? Words are supposed to be acted on? Since when? You mean, we actually BELIEVE these things? But wait, I didn’t mean that! God knows what I’ve lied about and said over the years!” Lies upon lies upon lies upon lies upon lies upon lies upon lies upon lies. No one’s turned their lies to action in a generation, no one’s believe anything in a lifetime, so YES they’re surprised and shocked we did something about a guy THEY THEMSELVES targeted.
Kunstler: Ouch! But not to worry: no one’s arrested.
“UN Draft Plan Sets 2030 Target to Avert Earth’s Sixth Mass Extinction (G.)”
Ah, The Guardian. Synapse-free as ever. Sounds like they better tell China to knock it off with coal and plastics, since it’s all there, not here. …And they’re the only people who aren’t going to do anything, and demand we shut off the electric in Denmark, and Holland, the cleanest place. So signing things that didn’t work last time, no one obeys, is our plan? Well, it’s something, I guess? But any chance we try something people WILL do and DOES work instead?
Not really. If they don’t get $1T into the economy RIGHT NOW, the compounding interest will take out the system. Doesn’t matter why we print it, but since they’ve lost all the wars, that’s a hard sell.
“Skills like that, they have but we don’t know,”
Wow, noble savage, white man bad. It’s fire? It’s pretty easy, been written down by universities worldwide, but if you’re still embarrassed about it, you can ask. They act like aborigines are weird aliens who can’t/won’t communicate. Nope! It’s our plan to have Australia burn because we’ll never tell you our voodoo spells. Not hard or anything. Matches, fire, season, shovel. Watching with your eyes. Oh and either get rid of all your wood houses or make them mobile. Oops. Similar to farming though: looks easy: seeds, ground, then go sit on the porch. Um, not so much. And no one can tell you in THIS place, on THIS day, with THIS equipment, but IN GENERAL you can do okay. To be great takes experience and talent, but that’s really just caring about the problem and applying yourself. We do this all the time with all sorts of things, which tree to cut, which to leave? How big a clearcut? What kind of ditch? How wide or shallow? When to mow tells which plant you want to seed and favor on this field? And yes, what/when to burn. …Not you suburban CNN-watching peoples though. Plants are a thing on T.V., food grows in plastic wrap on Keebler trees. People don’t actually know what butter is, ikyn. Blows my mind.
“Assange Legal Team Close To Bringing Legal Action Against Belmarsh Prison (Sp.)”
Oops. Assange escapes and testifies before Congress about the DNC servers and how they WERE NOT RUSSIA. Springing him and incriminating them, months before an election. Another lucky accident while Cheeto wanders around like a 5-year-old, knowing nothing, all on accident, like Mr. Magoo.
Bevan, true enough. But how do you get poverty to vote for you when every year poverty gets worse, race relations get worse, income disparity gets worse, and there’s a defacto-mass shooting every day of every week in Baltimore and Chicago and all the Congressmen and Mayors get rich? There lies the whole art of the Democratic Party. Fair’s fair. Pot, kettle.
I liked that bee presentation from yesterday.

WHAT!!!!
Lock him up with Assage. No the truthsayer allowed.“…. lobbyists and companies will often give family members undeserved lucrative jobs and contracts to curry favor with powerful politicians. Overseas, it is standard operating procedure. ….”

Dammm it. They won’t give me a cussshy job.“…. the proposal sets a 2030 deadline for the conservation and restoration of ecosystems and wildlife that perform crucial services for humans. The text, drafted by the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, is expected to be adopted by governments in October at a crucial UN summit in the Chinese city of Kunming.”

I want a job too.“The European Commission will propose on Tuesday how the EU can pay for shifting the region’s economy to zero CO2 emissions in 2050 while protecting areas and industries most dependent on coal from taking the brunt of changes aimed at preventing climate change.”

You got to kill off the predators so that the prey can survive to feed me. If the preys are killed off then the predators will find a new source of food. This applied to the virus as well as to the biggest predators.
Hummmm! If you eat something that was alive, then everything living is a predator.“Even though people can see the Aboriginese doing the fire control, and could see the benefits, they couldn’t copy it,” he said.
—-“…. lobbyists and companies will often give family members undeserved lucrative jobs and contracts to curry favor with powerful politicians. Overseas, it is standard operating procedure. ….”
I’m reminded of Chelsea Clinton’s $600,000 NBC job, and Obama’s $400,000 Wall Street speeches.
Do not wish it for yourself! This is corruption plain and simple, and no matter how hard the mind tries to justify the unmerited gain, the heart knows better and will extract payment one way or another, often setting in motion self-destructive forces, like drug addiction for instance.
This is always an unwise path if you value your friends and loved ones. What appears on the surface as a boon, is in fact a curse. There is no free lunch. There are no shortcuts. There is only law, and those looking for an easy way around it.

I believe you. I don’t want to be an elite. My decisions, errors or not only affect me and my small circle of life.

Establishment Pundits Go Nuts Over New Russian Hacking Conspiracy

establishment pundits are falling all over themselves to tweet the hottest take on this exciting new Russia conspiracy.

Russia Hacked Ukrainian Company Linked To Trump Impeachment, Security Firm Says
Russia has repeatedly tried to hack into the Ukrainian natural-gas company Burisma Holdings in what appears to be an effort to obtain dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter,

Biden-linked firm ‘was hacked by Russian agents’With a heavy sigh and a sense of impending regret, I decided nonetheless to log in and leave a comment. I just can’t stand it any more. This is about Jim Kunstler (“Jim does a lot of reading into the topic. He’s becoming an expert.”)
I used to read Kunstler for his intelligent and informative articles about the environment, fossil fuels, the commons, and other related topics. But for the past 3 years, he has only posted 2 articles, to the best of my recollection, that were not about the ‘horrible Democrats’ and the ‘besieged Trump’ – whom he always hastily reassures us he doesn’t like or support.
Yes, he is becoming an expert on the matters of Russiagate, Impeachmentgate, and Ukrainegate. He has become unbearably, tediously, thoroughly, monotonous on these subjects. In the process, he has completely relinquished his position as an expert on the environment, even though under Trump there are an endless supply of blog-worthy articles to be written on the topic.
I always check his Monday and Friday blog hoping for a return of the “old Jim” and his informative, witty writing; but after reading the opening sentence I inevitably abandon the article without going further. Because why read the same old shit again? If I want more dumb trivia about the silly shenanigans going on with the royal court and the ladies-in-waiting, I’ll watch CNN or Fox news. That’s all they cover, too.
(Plus, it turns out that when he is talking about society, as opposed to the great outdoors, Kunstler has a tendency toward a wee bit of racism and homophobia, which surprised and disappointed me. Ah, well, now I know.)

…and just who among us isn’t…
After Graeber’s shameful support of censorship of thought and speech, there is never any reason to read anything Graeber publishes ever again. I have two of his books and used to find him interesting. But he cashiered himself. He’s a fop. A charlatan. Not a thinker. Ignore him. Please. Thanks.
