IT’S THE RICH WHAT GETS THE PLEASURE (by any means necessary and no matter what it takes)












Robert Reich is Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley and was part of Bill Clinton’s cabinet. He nutshell’s the current social savagery neatly and succinctly.

“Suppose a small group of extremely wealthy people sought to systematically destroy the U.S. government by (1) finding and bankrolling new candidates pledged to shrinking and dismembering it; (2) intimidating or bribing many current senators and representatives to block all proposed legislation, prevent the appointment of presidential nominees, eliminate funds to implement and enforce laws, and threaten to default on the nation's debt; (3) taking over state governments in order to redistrict, gerrymander, require voter IDs, purge voter rolls, and otherwise suppress the votes of the majority in federal elections; (4) running a vast PR campaign designed to convince the American public of certain big lies, such as climate change is a hoax, and (5) buying up the media so the public cannot know the truth.
Would you call this treason?
If not, what would you call it?
And what would you do about it?”

    Why not call it what it is? It's the mixed economy model, and it exists solely to farm up corruption, fertilized with moral hazard.

    The mixed economy model is not capitalism, it's socialism. Communism is established by force. Socialism is established by vote. Their destination is identical and it is called despotism.

    I do not embrace collective action period. No gods, no masters; I govern myself accordingly. No valid philosophy can't be practiced to the nth degree. I am not motivated by fear or greed. I am only motivated toward truth.

    It isn't treason for the sheeple to prepare themselves for slaughter, initiating force against individuals. It's simple devolution into unconscious behavior. They are entitled to their suffering, leave them be. There are no victims.

    Every individual has the opportunity to awaken at any moment, or not. Collective action yields zero utility. Enlightenment can not be withheld or given away. There is no separateness. All things will happen, because all things can happen. Truth is infinite. If that isn't enough, yer shit outta luck, because 99.99% of the human race is pure scum by choice, and according to history books always has been. The answer is found only at the individual level.

    Enjoy your "time" as a human life-form, but it's overrated.

    Ain't no woodchuck season, that is they're varmints taken year 'round. Keeps one alert. Find two together and they're easy prey. Same as most "things". Shot two hidden in 3ft high hay-field, locked snarling in a death match. Walked right up to them.

  22. Very sad news that I heard today. I was lucky to see the last full Deviants gig in June. Mick clearly wasn't as well as would be hoped, but was in good form afterwards and this is a shock. Too young in the 60s, I vividly remember the great NME pieces of the mid-70s that shook us into life, a standard that this blog maintained. Thanks for a towering talent.

  64. My humble tribute to Mick.
    If its not too maudlin and gawkish, should any friend visit his tomb, please help me read to him

    IN MEMORIUM MICHAEL ANTHONY 'MICK' FARREN

    You are the Bringer of rare & exotic visions
    Story teller, songsmith, poetry-spinning Bard
    Wild Child Supreme of the Age of Aquarius
    You lived the life described by your songs and stories
    Rode the lightning, flew the clouds of fancy
    You lived, loved, drank, smoked, sang , danced and pranced like
    An excellent hero from your book
    You lived and departed this Plane in the manner of Legends,
    Bathed in applause and spotlights
    Shades and boots on, taking no bull from nobody
    With you gone, endeth an epoch
    Of true Love, Peace, Truth & Beauty
    Mick, stand by the left of Zeus' throne
    AND ROCK O-O-O-ON!!!!

  69. As reported by Stanford Medical, It's really the one and ONLY reason women in this country live 10 years longer and weigh an average of 19 KG less than we do.

    (By the way, it has totally NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret diet and EVERYTHING to do with "how" they eat.)

    P.S, What I said is "HOW", not "WHAT"...
