Big Sister Says Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid.

My first thought was that I was watching some bizarre sort of cabaret show with Tom Ridge in drag, only with some sort of weird looking grey skunk pelt wig. Then much to my horror it was Big Sister, the top Nazi at at Der Department of Heimat Security doing her damned level best to further drive home the horrible truth that there is virtually no difference between the ousted Bush-Cheney administration and the current one presided over by Barack Obama. Hell, the argument can be made that Obama is worse than Bush in that his velvet smooth demeanor, his syrupy siren song of a sales pitch makes it possible for him to get away with things that Bush never would have dreamed of trying. For example, all of those wonderful and costly naked cancer causing body scanners that have been installed in the nation's airports and coming soon at a shopping mall and sports venue near you. There is no way on God's green Earth that Bush could have ever pulled that off nor could he have gotten away with the government mandated sexual assaults given to travelers all under the pretense of security. Now Janet Napolitano is dredging up every scare tactic from years past, invoking every phony and scary bogeyman that has been used as justification for the transformation of this once free country into a lockdown mode, torture worshipping, civil liberties zone where connected corporate and banking vampires feed freely to bursting on the plentiful supply of cattle and sheep.

The terrorism fear card was the most kick ass club in the bag during the Bush years, while Obama and his people have yet to match the strident rhetoric of his criminal predecessor it isn't because of Big Sister and the massive expansion of Homeland security which she is obviously using to accumulate chits for her post-DHS career. Most obviously are the nifty naked body scanners and zealous TSA pedophiles thanks to the cynical and lucrative fear-mongering of former DHS capo Michael Chertoff (Big Sister's predecessor) in the dread soaked, media-hyped aftermath of the Christmas Day underwear bomber hoax. The snaked body scanners, which Chertoff's lobbying group made millions off of are another massive boondoggle that serves two needs, one being the obvious necessity to keep the corporate money rolling an and secondly building a firewall between the unwashed masses of asses and the oligarchy for the day that the shit finally hits the fan.  We also have the Orwellian campaign to have Big Sister herself  on Wal-Mart checkstand telescreens urging citizens to rat each other out to the government for vaguely defined suspicious behavior. Despite the naive hope that the incoming Obama administration would implement reforms to reverse some of Bush and Cheney's most blantant violations of civil liberties it is only getting worse. Ace blogger Glenn Greenwald sums it all up in his recent piece The Tea Party and Civil Liberties:

The establishments of both political parties -- whether because of actual conviction or political calculation -- are equally devoted to the National Security State, the Surveillance State, and the endless erosions of core liberties they entail. Partisan devotees of each party generally pretend to care about such liberties only when the other party is in power -- because screaming about abuses of power confers political advantage and enables demonization of the President -- but they quickly ignore or even justify the destruction of those liberties when their own party wields power. Hence, Democratic loyalists spent years screeching that Bush was "shredding the Constitution" for supporting policies which Barack Obama now enthusiastically supports, while right-wing stalwarts -- who spent years cheering on every Bush-led assault on basic Constitutional limits in the name of Terrorism -- flamboyantly read from the Constitution during the Obama era as though they venerate that document as sacred. The war on civil liberties in the U.S. is a fully bipartisan endeavor, and no effective opposition is possible through fealty to either of the two parties.


For most civil liberties incursions over the last decade, there's been at least some glimmer of opposition on the Left -- exemplified by people like Russ Feingold in the Senate and the Congressional Black Caucus and Dennis Kucinich in the House. But they've been easily overwhelmed by the civil-liberties-hating mainstream of the Democratic Party, and particularly hampered by the lack of any meaningful partners on the Right (where Ron Paul has been a solitary voice on such matters). What has been most needed -- and most harmfully non-existent -- is some minimal amount of intellectual honesty and consistency from America's conservatives, whose rhetoric of "limited government" and "individual rights" has translated into nothing other than lockstep support for ever-increasing government power and a highly authoritarian political mindset. It is that dynamic that has marginalized civil liberties advocacy -- and rendered civil liberties erosions inevitable -- no matter which party is in control.

Very nicely put. That the same people who would have shrieked for Bush's blood over the naked body scanners are down with having our national airports turned into East German style goon-manned checkpoints exposes the phoniness and lack of conviction of the O-Bots now that their team has the ball. Greenwald rightfully gives credit to the number of newly minted House Republicans who in an astonishing display of recalcitrance bordering on outright sedition rebelled against the renewal of the anti-American USAPATRIOT Act. Could this be a sign that the Sarah Palin/Dick Armey parasites are losing influence over the Tea Party? Is a restoration of the REAL Tea Party, the Tea Party that had roots in the Ron Paul movement in the works and in these times an anti-interventionist, pro-civil liberties movement would have broad crossover appeal if the death panel dummies are excommunicated. It's no wonder that Big Sister would announce that the threat of a terrorist attack is at the most "heightened state" since 9/11. If the holy grail of the USAPATRIOT Act is challenged then the whole house of cards of the phony war on terror could come crashing down and with so much money to be made in the Nazification of America business we sure as hell couldn't have that could we?

We are at a precarious period in history today, U.S. monetary policy which has been rigged to back up the Wall Street jackals has led to record food prices through commodities speculation. This in turn is leading to the uprisings of those who are as mad as hell and aren't going to take it anymore in a number of countries, the most important one of course being Egypt where the revolution only grows in strength by the day. It is now at the point where after the visit of the imperial bagman Frank Wisner that CIA puppet torture expert and now Egyptian defacto ruler Omar Suleiman is issuing veiled threats if the uprising continues. The tipping of Egypt would upset the entire Middle East applecart and trigger the most feared thing of all, a global revolution against corrupt American looter capitalism. And then there is the matter of Israel, the second wave of Zionist propaganda is now hitting America with the idiotic and inevitable comparisons of Iran to Egypt, the threats of those savage Islamic killers in the Muslim Brotherhood and the big lie that Israel, that theocratic fascist hellhole is the region's only 'democracy' and is facing yet another esistential threat if Egypt falls. With Senator Rand Paul actually having the balls to come right out and call for cutting off of foreign welfare paid for by the U.S. taxpayers to underwrite Israeli human rights abuses and the Israel Lobby already scrambling their American fifth column (see CUFI) the coming GOP primaries are going to be ugly as never before. With Big Sister hitting the right chords to assign blame to al CIAda in the event of a new false flag terror attack and the history of Mossad black ops squads it would be very prudent to be on the lookout for what is truly suspicious behavior and groups, take for instance Israeli art students and mall vendors.

Anyway.....
Here's an idea for all of the allegedly anti-big government, co-opted teabagger if you truly want to practice what you preach why not DISMANTLE THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY? break it into millions of pieces and scatter it to the winds? There is no better illustration of big government run amok, drunk on power and inept beyond comprehension bureaucratic waste on the planet than DHS. An agency hastily assembed while Americans were still scared shitless of those scary Muslims who hated us for our blessed way of life and allegedly blew up our buildings. The Department of Homeland Security is an out of control, blood-sucking abomination that exists solely for the need to perpetuate itself and a huge network of crony contractors who hit the jackpot with the American Reichstag Fire and have been using fear as a justification to extort, bully, shakedown and otherwise rob the American taxpayers blind in order to feed itself. DHS and it's cottage industry of surveillance experts, ex-spooks, sadists, perverts, hucksters and propaganda pimps for a decade now. DHS and all that it has spawned NEED that fear to continue to grow exponentially and to justify its existence by finding bogeymen and useful idiots. So come on now people, why not start concentrating on dismantling this Frankenstein monster once and for all because before much longer we are ALL going to be on the terrorist watch lists, human grist for the mills that will grind our bones to make their bread. Now that is an idea whose time has come.

The Bigger The Lie

“The Bigger the Lie, the More the People will Believe it"

- Adolf Hitler.

Just a few days after the latest fake Osama bin Laden tape release, scantly a month after the ridiculously trumped up false flag underwear bomber ‘attack’ on Jesus’s fake birthday and on the heels of a relentless propaganda campaign of fear obviously designed to roll away the stone and resurrect the big lie of 9/11 there is this: Report: Al-Qaeda aims to hit U.S. with WMDs. Bravo to the neocons, they are right back in the game, not that they ever left, you just can’t completely get rid all of the cockroaches after an infestation no matter how good the Orkin men happen to be. The Mighty Wurlitzer's story on the report in question leads with this nightmare blurb which smacks of the apocalyptic conjecture of smoking guns in the form of mushroom clouds that years before had been used to sell the wars that are still bankrupting America:

When al-Qaeda's No. 2 leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, called off a planned chemical attack on New York's subway system in 2003, he offered a chilling explanation: The plot to unleash poison gas on New Yorkers was being dropped for "something better," Zawahiri said in a message intercepted by U.S. eavesdroppers.

The meaning of Zawahiri's cryptic threat remains unclear more than six years later, but a new report warns that al-Qaeda has not abandoned its goal of attacking the United States with a chemical, biological or even nuclear weapon.

The report, by a former senior CIA official who led the agency's hunt for weapons of mass destruction, portrays al-Qaeda's leaders as determined and patient, willing to wait for years to acquire the kind of weapons that could inflict widespread casualties.

Of course I immediately begin to be skeptical whenever a study invokes "experts", consider that the Bush-Cheney junta once hired neocon crackpot consipracy theorist Laurie Mylroie as an "expert" on al-Qaeda and that insipid little bearded troll Michael Scheuer has been making a nice living for years now spreading his gossip on television, radio and in newspapers as the former head of the CIA's Alex Station bin Laden unit to gullible dupes. Be mindful that this is just the latest piece of an ongoing multi-faceted public relations campaign to shore up support here in Der Heimat for an Israeli strike on Iran, something that I discussed in a previous post. Again this jibes very nicely with a few stories that smack of another joint Pentagon –CIA- Mossad campaign to sow the seeds of destabilization, political unrest and animosity that lead to regime change, specifically in 2012. Some of the other tidbits of terror floating around out there are: Sarkozy Warns Israel May Strike Iran, Petraeus: Missile-Shooting Ships on Station in the Gulf, Israel Hopes NIE Will Pressure Iran and Israeli Information Minister Slams All Reports on Gaza War as Anti-Semitic. Same as it ever was, get ready to strap it on because WWIII is coming and nothing that the Pope of Hope can do will stop it this time.

Oh and Chemical Ali was strung up for gassing all of them Kurds back in 88, lost on the average American moron was that he used the chemical weapons that were procured by Saddam during the Reagan administration back when he was still our kind of dictator before Maggie Thatcher challenged Poppy Bush's manhood and Gulf War One was launched on a passel of lies like that horseshit about Saddam's soldiers ripping Kuwaiti babies out of incubators and the rest of that crap that had us all glued to CNN watching Baghdad get the shit bombed out of it the first time before Shock and Awe.

Fear is it in America where the junk food eating surrender monkeys will ALWAYS give away their freedoms for the illusion of security, has been since 9/11 and arguably since the very concept of America was just a dream in the heads of the founding fathers. As if there is nothing to fear from an oligarchy and financial elite run amok and now getting ready for some serious fucking after last week’s landmark Supreme Court decision by the Roberts Court (thanks Harry Reid!) to allow corporations to openly influence elections. I can hear the commercials already from arms manufacturers, the blood barters, dealers of destruction and the icy cold technocrats of death who profiteer off of the state of constant war that Oceania exists in today. But Americans, brains jellified by years of too much television, cowed by a corporatist culture and rendered useless by the rapacious ghouls of high finance who have packed their jobs off to third world shitholes or authoritarian high tech police states like China, foreclosed on their overpriced McMansions and cardboard walled crackerboxes and conditioned to be subservient little squeaking mice while being subjected to Soviet style checkpoints and goons in the nation’s airports. Hell, they are afraid of EVERYTHING but what is fucking real! And now with the Obama gang of thieves reeling after their dream of corporate cash for life has gone up like a flaming bag of dogshit (way to go Rahm!) the fear in the air will soon be suffocating, choking just like in the aftermath of the American Reichstag Fire.

Why are Americans so afraid of dying? It is inevitable yet this colony of cowards, this mass of asses, this confederacy of dunces fears all of the wrong things. They are more likely to die in a car accident on any given day than in a ‘terrorist’ attack, they are more statistically likely to die from a fall in the bathtub than in a ‘terrorist’ attack, you get the picture. Shit, the only thing in America that they are LESS likely to do than be killed in a ‘terrorist’ attack is get rich yet the schmucks are duped into buying into that little fantasy from the day that they are shat out of the birth canal. You see nothing much has really changed since primitive times, religion, get rich quick schemes and the constant fear of the other have been used since the earliest of civilizations, by kings, pharaohs, popes, presidents and dictators to exercise social control. America though has at least until now surpassed them all in manipulating the inhabitants without too much overt torture, mass executions or pogroms to send the message that the ruling class intents to continue to rule no matter how many children that have to be raped, limbs hacked off or skulls crushed. This is largely the result of the most successful mind control device in the history of planet Earth – television. The incessant brainwashing that one can be rich someday is what keeps the capitalist corpse still upright in these days of economic doom when by all rights it should be buried on the shitpile of history right next to its failed counterpart that is communism.

During the NFL playoffs over the weekend the advertisements kept rolling out to prop up the false dream that underwrites the entire fucking failed system. There are still, believe it or not commercials for those shitty E-trading scams, for the parasitical frauds that are the financial services ghouls and high gloss depictions of consumerism that few can afford (excluding Burger King of course but there have to be a few crumbs scattered for those elbowed away from the table) and the usual silliness. The dream of one day being rich just like The Donald is still bought into by millions even while they are living in tent cities and homeless shelters and foraging through dumpsters for scraps to eat.

Be AFRAID suckers.....be very AFRAID because you ain't seen nothin'' yet!

ENOUGH!

"Those who sacrifice freedom for temporary security deserve neither."

— Benjamin Franklin

The Christmas Day underwear bomber, courtesy of the pocket media kingmakers, the neocon filth, the Republican rump (aka Cheney’s stay behind network) and the rotten whore political operation that is the great Obama fraud run by Rahm Emanuel has now been the final cog snapping into place for the new American police state. As Mr. Obama’s standard rhetoric increasingly resembles that of his idiot predecessor (minus the shit salesman with a mouth full of free samples style syntax of course) with references to that holy day 9/11 and threats against the ‘terrorists’ so America once more begins to resemble that fear-stricken land of scared little rabbits from back in the day when George W. Bush rode tall in the saddle, dissent was treason and honest questions were shouted down by political lynch mobs and propagandists as terrorist appeasement.

Be proud Americans, honor your heritage with the blissful knowledge that you can now shit in your pants during the last hour of your flights, wallow in your own filth for it is your collective cowardice and ignorance that has dragged those of us who have a fucking backbone and give a rat’s ass about civil liberties and freedom into that river of shit that you lovingly wallow in, it is your natural habitat you stupid motherfuckers, you rotten, shallow, yellow, spineless, willfully ignorant, fat, drunk and stupid bitches and bastards. Cowardice has spread like a virulent and terminal disease through this world's largest lemming colony, it is nurtured by a willful ignorance that would be seen as shameful in any advanced civilization but here in Murka it is a virtue and a terrified and dim-witted populace is a tyranical system's wettest of wet dreams. What has happened to this place?

Be proud of your legacy for the graves of your ancestors have been pissed on by your quivering bladders and your children and grandchildren have been sold like whores into lives of slavery by your ongoing capitulation to this horseshit. Where was the outrage when the Wall Street looters escaped with nary a slap on the wrist and the key to the U.S. Treasury to finance their gambling and Ponzi schemes while Americans were stripped of their jobs, lost their homes and then had the indignity forced upon them of having to actually pay for the lavish bonuses of the banksters this holiday season, the same fiends who sucked the marrow from the rotting carcass that was the once mighty American economy? Where is the outrage over the coming forced purchase of coverage from the insurance parasites with failure to comply being a crime? Where was the outrage when the Obama administration refused to release pictures of children being sodomized by sadistic military monsters at Abu Ghraib? Where was the outrage when Bush and Cheney’s domestic spying operations were left in place to serve the interests of the new Emperor and his minions, drunk on powers that they at one time denounced but learned to love once they controlled them? Where was the moral indignation at the escalation in Afghanistan? The cowardly use of drones to blast civilians into hamburger to protect the narcotics trade that has for so long served the interests of the elite in financing off the books black operations?

It wasn’t fucking there, that’s where it was and it isn’t there now that this mentally unstable dupe is allowed onto an airplane with a mini-bomb sown into his Fruit of the Looms. The panic was immediate, calculated and spread like poisoned pollen by a media propaganda machine that has no peer. On Christmas night Americans were wakened from their slumbers and taught to fear again, oh, it is that sweet, sweet fear that this filthy, rotting from the inside corpse of a democracy needs like the kiss of the dragon, the sweet taking of the spike into the vein, the megahit of adrenaline to the nervous system that revs the engine of the police state. Commandment Number One: There SHALT BE FEAR and let it ring from sea to shining sea while the inquisitions are prepared, the watch lists drawn up and the full body scanners installed so that surly failed policemen and the glorified door shaker security guards empowered by the state can sit and peek at cowed travelers in their full dirty, nasty, naked glory. How they will fantasize at the little boy penises and ripe little twats of prepubescent teen girls, there will no doubt be the sound proofed rooms where the chosen plucked fruit will be hauled off for private ‘screening’ and those lovingly conducted body cavity searches. This is the way it works in any dictatorship and these same procedures will one day be in your local shopping malls too because we must be kept safe from those dirty Satanic Muslims who want to kill us all for our blessed, God kissed, star-spangled freedoms. It’s just like 9-11 all over again and the irony that this greatest gift of them all to the fascists who run this corrupt cesspool would come on Christmas Day, it couldn’t be sweeter if jolly fat capitalist Santa had dropped off long haired liberal Jesus to be crucified for our sins anew.

Decades of Hollywood propaganda have successfully imbedded the image of the Arab male as a swarthy, foaming at the mouth, sneaky, America hating savage and therefore the image is all too easily conjured forth whenever the government decides that it becomes necessary to use as a tool for manufacturing consent. The fairly new slogan of 'Islamofascism' serves to perfectly illustrate this strategy. I reference a fine little book that I read quite awhile back called American Terminator which examines the affects of movies in shaping and reinforcing the basis for a mythical American exceptionalism and its desire for Empire, an Empire that now with a bankrupt society (both financially and morally) MUST have a police state to continue to exist. The following passage is from that book which I strongly recommend to everybody with an interest in just how celluloid serves as a delivery device that is very useful in the indoctrination process.

Fear is essential: ‘Be afraid, be very afraid’ is the American condition. To live in America is to be beset by fear, anxiety and insecurity, to be surrounded by potential harm, enemies and evil intent. And the wolf is always at the door. A nation of optimists is the more usual self-representation of America. Repetitively, Hollywood films conclude with a resolution, a rescue, and the winners ride off into the sunset or snuggle into a warm embrace that reassures us they will live happily ever after. The formulaic ending, however, is necessary because the plot, the narrative, is founded on and propelled by fear and anxiety, the dark essential underpinning of the American condition. For America fear is an original, natural condition, the inescapable birth rite (and birth right), the inherited condition of a fragile existence that must constantly be defended. Without fear there is no America; constant recourse to fear is the motivating force that determines its actions and reactions.

And might I add that the ongoing demonization/dehumanization of Muslims is very like what Hitler and the Nazis did to the Jews back before the gas chambers and blast furnaces were running at full capacity.

So wallow in your own shit you little patriotic soon to be pickled piggies, twiddle your thumbs and above all obey authority whether it be legitimate or not for your number is coming up for your big ride to the steel chute. Enjoy your last moments of blissful ignorance, of your rotten fence sitting acquiescence, your sniveling consent, the luxury of your stupidity and bask in the smell of your feces, you shall soon be forced to eat it. And most of all enjoy the most putrid stench of them all, the stench of denial because like your historical brethren in Krautland who just didn't notice the smell emanating from the smokestacks at Auschwitz and the other state liquidation facilities neither shall you when your neighbors are turned into so much human smoke.

You best of intentioned crusader liberals, you goddamned ignoramus Beckers, Palinazis and teabaggers, so intent are you at your little games where you are manipulated like the brainless meat puppets that you have always been can now continue to squabble while the yokes are prepped for the slaves who have been deprived of freedom due to your ignorance, your rotten abandonment of the most basic of duties that would make you informed participants in a functional country. You have all failed, don’t blame the billion dollar indoctrination machine that is the media, as there is free will so you too are free to not jettison your minds, you spines, your civic responsibilities. Shit, why am I even wasting my time, it’s like pearls before swine….ignorant fucking swine shitting on each other as they near the chutes.
