Neo Codex Revealed
If you were awake on 9/11 AM, and remote enough
from the MSM immediacy of it, as I was halfway
around the world, watching on the Net, then you
saw a moment of earthshaking transparency.
George Bush Jr, in classic faux pas, ended his
scripted rollup of the 9/11 events with these
fateful, revealing, kingdom-cracking words:
“Whatever you do, don’t stop shopping!”
Think about that, then look at the stock market
charts ca 2000-2005: http://tinyurl.com/cqrkk
Down near -50% before George blinked and took US
into a bottomless quagmire in Iraq, unspeakably
deep deficits from which we may never recover,
given ASEAN and EU competition and US equities.
And still, despite a $12 TRILLION deficit runup,
and the bales of shrink-wrapped US$100’s flying around the world in Baker’s ambassador’s pouch,
markets fell off only six months into the war,
now “trading within a narrow range,” as brokers
like to describe it, “time to shear the sheep”,
for twenty four months, as the dollar declines.
We have been clipped of $10,000,000,000,000’s!
“Whatever you do, don’t stop shopping!”
In a moment of sheer emotional hezbullah, a US
leader of the Neo-cabal, the transnational hot
money cheerleader, revealed the Neo-Codex key!
Do I need to draw you a map? Stop shopping! The
market’s not going anywhere anyway, your mutual
funds churn and burn, your home prices are flat
going negative, it’s all catch-a-falling-dagger now anyway, from sea to shining sea.
Go code blue! This is our Argentina moment!
Turn off the FICA firehose, just stop shopping!
Pull out of the markets, out of the big banks,
put your money in local CD’s, pay for everything
cash, and a kamaaina price. Think Dollar Store.
The economy is *not* turning around. We are
*not* winning the war in Iraq. New jobs are at
lower wages and fewer benefits, and not enough
for population growth and aging, the wages not
enough for *doubled* housing costs since 2000,
and *doubled* property taxes and utilities.
Let them cheerlead all they like. They have our
tax money, there’s nothing we can do about it,
except for one thing: Don’t throw good money
after sunk money. Rule number one in arbitrage.
Stop shopping. Crash the Fed. We’ll call it the
Sampson Strategy. The Jesus Strategy took 1650
years before it bore fruit. He got crucified,
and so did millions and millions of others.
Sampson pulled down the temples in one instant.
December 7th, Strike Against the Machine. Do it.

Jim Rogers the cutsey “Investment Biker”, one time trader for St. Soros, and author of “Investment Biker” had his “Rogers Commodity Fund” at Refco. Refco in a fidiciary position is supposed to quarantine invested funds separate from its accounts. Now that Refco has gone poof, the company says some of Rogers’ invested money can’t be separated from Refco’s assets. If this smoke and mirrors thing can happen to one of the sharp card counters, it happens easier to the sheep to be sheared. The stock market isn’t necessarity stacked against the little guy, people can make money locally in real estate, it just isn’t the everyone can be a millionaire game it’s presented as. The tv entertainment has kept people’s attention off the grand inflation (wiping out the middle class), and kept them less depressed that while we’re building ceo personality cults their own wages aren’t rising.

So the thing that we dread happens again and popularity (that’s all it is) reverts to inflate the Bush? Even though he ran a presidential campaign on the mouthful that he’ll protect us from that? Success (for him) through failure.
Osama killed or captured. Well I’m on year four of waiting for that.
Economy turnaround, or distribution of crack to everyone.
Iraq war resolution, or distribution of crack to everyone but no illegals this time. Illegals can volunteer for the front to win citizenship but no VA healthcare benefits.

Hit back has already started. Yesterday on C-Span the American Enterprise Institute had a Condemn-Democrats-LoveBomb-Chalabi celebration. Today they are beating the sad tired drum chanting the, “If they didn’t believe the intelligence, why did the Democrats vote for the war? dirge. There are again targeting top Democrats by name as evil war critics, and pretending that there is little wrong. Even Karl Rove got up to bat to pop a few derogatory words at the left. It left me speechless: will the Neoconservatives ever learn and will Americans ever hold them accountable?

Watched last night an ACLU Freedom File: “Dissent,” on LinkTV (free speech “corrals;” police repression of peaceful demonstrations; people arrested for wearing anti-Bush teeshirts; criminalization of dissent).
Read yesterday of GOP/agribusiness assaults on “organic” food labeling, for christsake.
Was reminded of over “400 major environmental rollbacks . . . implemented or proposed” by Bush & Company.
By no means to minimize the colossal and grave issues of war and torture, tax cuts and massive defict spending, WH and other indictments, I am reminded today of the phrase, “death by 1000 cuts,” and of the cumulative, corrosive flood of so many “lesser” acts of regression carried out under GOP control over the last five years.

The disruptive rifts in Republican ranks in Congress underscored the changing political landscape in Washington, as President Bush’s popularity is waning and the governing party faces mounting public opposition on everything from the war in Iraq to sky-high gasoline prices.

And yet,something’s brewing.
Can all the cumulative revulsion and disgust and injury of “1000 cuts” lead to political revolt? Can this be the start of a thoroughgoing repeal and repudiation of the entire GOP agenda? Is a popular, progressive backlash and a sweeping resurrection of our now-crippled democracy in the offing? Are we poised at the start of a generation of reform and renewal?
Is that the scent of a New American Revolution in the air?

@manonfyre
I want you to be right. But I can’t see how it can happen. To have a ‘generation of reform and renewal’ you need a generation of people with basic cognitive abilities. And I don’t see that. Look into people’s faces and ask about the war. Often there’s nothing: not a flicker. It’s the anaesthatisation of dreadful education, joke news and constitutional – I was going to say institutional, but it’s deeper – xenophobia and parochial insularity. People don’t know anything, and those that know, don’t care. As a European over here I used to find it baffling. Now I find it terrifying. For every little beacon of basic sense, like MOA, there’s a vast unlit plain of witlessness, fatuity, puerile magical thinking and amorphous, unfocussed fear.
Now we’re in for another round of disinformation and spin, but it’s not so hard to fool us when we’re all in a semi-coma. What’s worse, what really hurts, is that their tricks are so squalid. There should be nothing sinister about these people. All the tricks they pull, all the shit they sling about – it’s all so obvious. This is the kindergarten of political ability. But now they are poised to swirl their ratty old vampire capes around their shoulders one more time, and the nation will gasp and step back. They don’t see a cabal of portly CEOs and third-rate ideologues, they see Power. Some of us will splutter with indignant rage, but the rest will nod, glassy-eyed, and obediantly reach for their remotes. It’s shameful, but more than that, it’s deeply, deeply shaming. But no-one cares, and you have to care to feel shame.

“We are fighting them over there…so we don’t have to fight them here.”
This statement is no longer operative. Down the Memory Hole.
Now we are fighting for our Freedoms.

It is astonishing (and gratifying) to see that the usual GOP tricks are falling flat. It’s not just Bush that is radioactive; the divide n’ conquer tactics of the hard right are suddenly radioactive as well.
Could it be that the neocon fad has peaked? Is America past the point in the party where you say, “Oh, man — I’ve gotta get on home now.”
Damn. It really was just a fad, just a hard lurch to the right after the fat and happy years of the Clinton economy.
It was a party. The kind you never forget, and never go back to.
Now, it’s so-o-o-o over. And there are some serious bills to pay, for all the fun, for all the breaking things, and peeing on the plants, and making togas out of the curtains.
America has a hangover, and just woke up to find Iraq in the bed. I tell you what — if this ain’t rock bottom, baby, it’ll just have to do.

she said, that ain’t no way to have fun . . .”

Tantalus – Wouldn’t it be wonderfully “magical thinking” if the MSM succeeds in chalabizing the upcoming elections (L+362 days and counting) in
our minds, as an NAC Rose Petals and Chocolate Revolution for Populism and the Democrat Party?
Then we could all breath a big sigh of relief
in 2007, as Fed taxes go up, and troop levels in
Iraq *go up*, and every kind of crack-pot green
technology gets Fed funding, and interest rates
keep going up, and government interference keeps increasing in our business and private lives?
Oh, we *won*! (bend over and spread ’em, honey)

I like to cross-train by wide-reading, using reverse-surfing methods (see early 2005 post).
Researching ethanol production from corn mash,
then feeding the spent mash to livestock, with
corn mash now’aday’s being primarily GMO seed,
and which, with much of the world’s refusal to
buy the GM stuff, is being dumped on China and
Viet Nam, which imports 1,000’s of tons of GMO
corn to feed to their *chickens*, and a recent
report of Russian studies showing generational
genetic degradation in rats, and then comes
this urgent report from China and Viet Nam:

It’s not about the Red Army or the White Army,
it’s about US Politiburo and Pravda, and the
Corporate trans-national elites, carving the
world up, and euthanizing US by the millions.
Bill Frist will be pushing up daisies, and Karl Rove will be in an abusive leather relationship,
while we will all still be slaves on our knees.
Here’s a reverse-surfing test for you: Figure
out what % of American adults use prescription psycho-pharmaceutical mood elevators, and what
percent of American children are on Ritalin.

Hey, I still fondly remember one summer spent in Europe, North Africa and Eastern Mediterranean, with total strangers taking me into their homes, or to a restaurant, and engaging in intellectual philosophical and political discussions, way, way above my general level of knowledge.
Very sobering comedown, to repatriate to USA.

To end on an uplifting message, watch nano-tech.
They are about to deploy nano-filters that can convert smog to elementals, remove bacteria and viruses from drinking water at the tap, and even allow US to jog while breathing pure HEPA-5 air.
We will be the healthiest slaves in all history.

everyone who cares about Elections ‘n’ Coups MUST go to Diebold Source Code Broken
Dr Avi Rubin, Prof of Computer Science at John Hopkins, got a copy of Diebold Source Code. They poured over all 49k lines of source code… Yes, kids it was Written Expressly to Be Hacked. Go read Mark’s posts.
