Waiting For McCarthy - Letters To The (Onion) Editor
It tooks us a few minutes to realize this was from The Onion. Ah, the benefits of living in a hybrid, hyperbolic, tragicomic reality.

We also find this one particularly poignant:

Lastly, this may explain the recent explosion in Xtranormal videos:

Oddly enough, virtually every government projection in the past two years includes a hockeystick here or there.

Dear Sir or Madam,
If the NSA is wiretapping everyone without a warrant, will I even need to tell the government about my neighbors?
-The Mad Hatter
Dear Sir or Madam,
If the NSA is wiretapping everyone without a warrant I would like to know what it is you want me to think and say about everything.
Thank you. I will be waiting for your reply.
Unless of course I am not supposed to be thinking or typing this, in which case I am sorry. But then again, I did not know the rules... But then saying that may be wrong too, in which case I am sorry. But then apologizing may be the wrong thing to say and do too, in which case I am sorry...
Please let me know the rules as soon as possible, I find my guts are coiled into a Gordian Knot.
Best,
MsCreant
Ms Creant, let me correct that for you.
NSA FUCK YOU.
Now thats much better. Knocks on my door late at night are met by Mosby and me.
You know, Max Keiser is trying to sink JPM by encouraging people to buy silver (I support Max's cause)...why don't we try doing the same thing to the NSA....if we all send an email with words like kill, fuck, guns, banker, president, senator, explosives, etc. their tracking programs will go nuts if we go viral! Let's have some fun and melt down the super computers!

hum, righteous indignation? at what...its a humor magazine with some serious import/cloaked in humor...this NSA expose for instance ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4cjPHjFz5g&feature=related
the pretend writers context/characters, here being illustrated, "paranoid yet not quite intellectual enough to do a really good job of it.." so? these real/pretend 'letters to the editor' are chosen out or invented no matter to make a specific point...trajic and comic, yes both.. the point IS an 'existence statement' THEY EXIST...so keep that in mind...dont assume your audience has the slightest concept of where you are at, where you are goind, nor really cares anyway...in other words, LISTEN VERY VERY CAREFULLY before you speak...to THEIR level of comprehension...hyperbolic, yes, hybrid yes.. the "Onion" get it, layers of truth, degrees of understanding... TD said: "It tooks us a few minutes to realize this was from The Onion. Ah, the benefits of living in a hybrid, hyperbolic, tragicomic reality."
Ms. hunkerin' down probably the best probability survivable play.
Nay rules--they'll be made up as they go.
But playing with military honor rules will be better imho--get the edge in the pickup situation.
Gonna suck,

Kafka would be proud.
You got it!
So frighteningly, ironically, tragically, cyclically, inevitably, weirdly, awesomely hilarious. ly strange.
Like they jumped out of an alternate reality.

One of the most hilarious from The Onion, the Apollo 11 moon landing with the 'real' audio from Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in 1969:
« Holy living f-ck ... I am talking to you from the surface of the f-cking moon ... »

Not long ago, I heard if you turned somebody in for "misrepresenting" the then pending healthcare bill to the White House Thought Police, you would get an honorary 'Charlie Rangel IRS Exemption'
Nice, well put.
My personal Fav:
"Existentialist firefighter delays three deaths"
The spy agencies record every wireless phone call in the world. They have been doing that for over 10 years.
They also keep a record of every email ever sent over the internet.
But I'm not paranoid. I'm wearing my tin foil hat!
BennyBoy,
Everyone knows the old saying, "Its as bad as you think and they are out to get you".
But in actuallity it should be, "Its worse than you ever imagined and they already have you".
As part of the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act (for the children, you know) a DNA sample has been collected and saved from every baby born in the US since April 2008. One day they will have a complete collection.
Dear Sir or Madam,
If buying silver could be construed as an attempt to bring down JPM and JPM is basically the Fed and the Fed is basically the US government now, am I committing treason by buying physical? If so, how many Hail-Ipads do I need to buy to absolve my sins?
Thank you,

I want to be trailer trash.
They did not cause any of the problems that our country faces today.
They did not get mortgages they couldn't afford.
They did not run the banks into the ground with greed.
They did not use investors for their personal benefit.
They don't belong to the unions that ask too much of their companies.
I'm tired of paying mortgage bills, utility bills, and property taxes.
I want to live more simply, pack up the dog and move into a travel-trailer.
I don't mind being called "trailer trash,"
Put some ice on that lip, Baby.

You are not alone in this sentiment.
Joseph McCarthy was right.
That's why the "jews" malign him long after his death. I consider that to be a badge of honor, really.
You are funny. You know he was gay, right?
O.M.G.
All I know is ethel and julius got theirs.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
holy shite.....this wacko is even further off the edge than I had thought, and that's sayin' a lot. Was gonna tweak him at the "Rosenbergs got theirs" post but an overwhelming sense of total futility overcame me
You're joking when you say that McCarthy was a homosexual, or you are confusedly libeling McCarthy because in your maleducation you were baselessly taught that another anti-communist, J. Edgar Hoover, was a homosexual, or you are knowingly telling a lie about Joe McCarthy.
Which is it?
It is somewhat likely that McCarthy's untimely death was the result of assassination, but it is without any doubt whatsoever that his reputation suffered that fate. Everything you think you know about Senator McCarthy has been taught to you by his enemies. Imagine if only your enemies taught others about you. Do you think they would tell the truth?

Doood.....I've seen actual historical newsreel footage of the hearings, etc. The guy was an ASSHOLE - with a capital "A". Blatant diregard for wrecking other peoples' lives for sake of his own grandiosity. A total prick. And you're worried about his fucking reputation? What does that say about you?
Blatant diregard for wrecking other peoples' lives for sake of his own grandiosity.
By that I take it you you mean in his role as a United States senator and chairman of the Senate Committee on Government Operations during a period of large-scale Soviet infiltration and subversion of the U.S. Government he investigated people in order to ascertain whether they were agents of Soviet influence and spies, and that is something you object to on the basis that you have no objection to agents of foreign powers influencing U.S. government policy.
The bankers via the FED have taken over the whole government. Do we have hearings about them? Did McCarthy? You really believe that soviet garbage? Who do you think installed the soviet government? (Answer: elites from Britain and the US undercover of the American Red Cross) Please read a real history.
Pitiful. "--a period of large-scale Soviet infiltration and subversion___" That's sure gonna come as a surprise to the KGB files researchers./ and veterans of the era.
The only "badge of honor" you ever earned was for Outstanding Masturbating to an Image of a Swastika in Your Mother's Basement.
Run along now, skippy. Mom needs you to go clean out the hamster cage.
Liberal Sodomy,
You are as miseducated about the role of Jews as supposed plotters intent on world takeover as MsCreant and 99% of people are about Joe McCarthy, and the reason is the same.
Yuri Bezmenov explains the basics:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlpODYhnPEo
While the Bezmenov video (and the other videos in the series) do not specifically address the topics of Jews or Joe McCarthy, they do explain the process by which you have been brainwashed and by whom.
Ion Mahai Pacepa, former Romanian intelligence chief in Ceaucescu's communist regime, sheds light on the origin of modern-day anti-semitism in the answer he gave to a question from Front Page Magazine:
History always repeats itself, and if you can live two lives, you have an even greater chance of seeing that repetition with your own eyes. During the last six years of my other life, as a Romanian intelligence general, the main task of the Soviet bloc espionage community was to transform Yasser Arafat's war against Israel and its main supporter, the United States, into an armed doctrine of the whole Islamic world. America was our main enemy, and a billion adversaries could inflict far greater damage on it than could a mere one million. Islamic anti-Semitism ran deep. Our task was to convert its historical hatred of the Jews into a new hatred of the United States, by portraying this land of freedom as an "imperial Zionist country" financed by Jewish money and run by a rapacious "Council of the Elders of Zion," the Kremlin's epithet for the US Congress.
According to KGB theorists, the Islamic world was a petri dish in which we could nurture a virulent strain of America-hate. Islamic cultures had a taste for nationalism, jingoism and victimology. Their illiterate, oppressed mobs could be whipped up to a fever pitch. Terrorism and violence against America would flow naturally from their religious fervor. We had only to keep repeating, over and over, that the United States was a "Zionist country, bankrolled by rich Jews. Islam was obsessed with preventing the infidel's occupation of its territory, and it would be highly receptive to our dogma that American imperialism wanted to transform the rest of the world into a Jewish fiefdom.
Before I left Romania for good, in 1978, the Soviet bloc intelligence community flooded the Islamic world with Arabic translations of an old Russian, forged, anti-Semitic tract entitled Protocols of the Elders of Zion, along with "documentary" materials, also in Arabic, "proving" that the United States was a Zionist country governed by Jewish money, whose aim was to extend its domination over the rest of the world. We also infiltrated the Islamic world with thousands of Soviet bloc Islamic citizens recruited as intelligence agents and tasked to implant there a rabid, demented hatred for American Zionism. They were to portray everybody and everything in America as being subordinated to Jewish interests: the leaders, the government, the political parties, the most prominent personalities, and even American history. Most of these agents were religious servants, engineers, medical doctors or teachers, and they had excellent credibility.
How does it make you feel that you have been taken in just like the "illiterate, oppressed mobs" of the Islamic world? I'm sure you considered yourself smarter than they, but yet the results are the same.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You're blaming the soviets for the hatred of Muslims? Have you paid any attention to what the US has done to the muslims? How the Palestinians are treated by the Jews? Our rampant imperialism in the middle east and SE Asia in order to secure resources for our own benefit?
You are one funny guy.
Note the date at which HL Shanken says he left the soviet sphere; it was probably well before you were born. At that time, in 1978, the Cold War was hotter than ever, and we had nothing to do with Muslims anywhere (although at far earlier dates, we had had plenty to do in Indonesia and Iran, but never left military or bases behind--it was entirely clandestine).
Our real insertion into the Muslim world came with Joe Wilson's war, i.e., the covert use of the Taliban against the USSR, starting at the end of 1979. It was at this time that Osama bin Laden came onto our clandestine payroll, and through him, we began arming and training the Taliban against the soviets. The Afghan war devastated the USSR Army, leaving it thoroughly demoralized, without funds or equipment, or, eventually, enough men to staff all of the empire's various installations around the world.
It was at this point that the USSR's KGB began a serious disinformation campaign throughout the Muslim world regarding Jews, the USA, and The Protocols of Zion (which had been written by the Tsarist secret police for similar purposes). This disinformation campaign tied these disparate (and at least in one case, wholly fraudulent) forces together into a massive conspiracy aimed at the West via the postcolonial states, the majority of which were Muslim.
To get an idea of the extent to which this, and prior, Marxist-Leninist manipulation of post-colonial states in which a majority of the population was Muslim held fast, one has to look no further than Edward Said's oft-quoted (principally by many who never really read the book, which contains great aphorisms) masterpiece, Orientalism. It was written by one who, from the comfort of his Columbia office, decried the West's imperialism and imposition of its own imagining upon the East. He had been a Palestinian Christian refugee as a child, ending up first in Lebanon, and then in the USA. His eventual country of record endeared him little; he was well taught.
HAHHAHAHAH
Have you seen how Muslims treat Hindus?
No imperialism, no economics, no geopolitical desire by the USA.
Jihad is nothing more than cultural racism cloaked under the banner of theology.
RE: HLS extended commentary..
hum!+?
authenticity of who, what, when, where, regards the named people and their presumed statements...
Don't know, haven't even begun to check out...but i will check this out, maybe soon, maybe a year, who knows...
there are some 'keys' to unlock some historical mysteries perhaps...even falsehoods have value in that they are 'against something' 'disproving something' it is the something either waythat interests me here...
thanks for the long exposition, obviously you've talked and gotten nothing but bullshit knee-jerk trained animal responses...incomprehension at ALL levels of depth..
thanks

communism is judaism and judaism is communism. In their own words:Apparently you live in a dream world where the names Rubin, Greenspan, Frank, the Bernank, Orzag, Summers, Blankfein, Weil, Cantor, Bair, Shapiro are not members of a small minority clique that has wedged themselves into positions of power and influence over the banking industry and oversight. As Celente points out, if the names I listed were all Sicilians or Chinese or Russian for that matter, you'd be fucking appalled at the obviousness of the takeover. So sit back and read Bloomberg, zuckerman, Krugman and whatever other Zionist tripe you enjoy, confidant in your beliefs that there is no conspiracy or you'd have read about it in the media.
So I gather that Bush I and II, Paulson, Cheney,Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Johnson, the principals of Microsoft, and Berkshire Hathaway, are all members of the same ethnic cabal you describe, Nikki? All had a great deal to do with where we stand now, thank you very much. I will not name or number the members of Congress in both houses who are equally complicit; the list is too long, and far too whitebread, as opposed to matzo brei. And let's not forget the white-shoe lawyers on K Street and various environs of NYC; the most established of these have decidedly non-Semitic names. Baker, anybody?
Nikki, get both a life and an education. The only person who might vaguely resemble your cabal is John Kerry. Despite his descent from John Winthrop, on his mother's side, he is also descended from Austria-Hungarian Jews on his father's side; they converted to Catholicism, and changed their name to Kerry, prior to emigrating to the USA. See http://genealogy.about.com/od/presidents/p/john_kerry.htm
Celente is a throwback to Classical Greece, a sightless seer. While his so-called trends are typically relatively on the mark, anybody who reads incessantly, as I do, and I'm sure he and his employees do as well, can get a reasonable grip on the very near future, and that's all the man does, along with layered invective against his victim du jour. I can understand a kid growing up Italian-American in the Bronx having a chip on his shoulder, especially against Jewish kids who seemed to have it made.
What he failed to understand was the family ethos behind those kids--learning and education was absolutely everything, for the broad majority, and remained that way. Getting ahead, by whatever means, was typically the mantra for the immigrant Italian-Americans. Of the latter group, typically the second or third generation became enthused about education and its lifelong benefits.
I belong to neither group, but have grown (and, by now, aged) amidst them, and other groups of European origin. Admission: I am an 8th generation American, but not related to any of the above.
The primary value of The Onion, is to be just mental enough to result in accidental 'real headlines'. It can be a very fine line.
You do understand? The whole lie will be none the less. Our US Government will try to defuse CFR ( Council of Foreign Relations) laws.
Type into Google: 'chewing gum + CFR' gives you a hit.

I really hate anyone trying to draw paralells between Nazis and anything else but how long will it be before we think the idea of children turning in their parents is scary not funny. How long till we have to second guess the national security implications of any phone call, text message or email.

Show me the way to the next whiskey bar.

Will the Government ship me all coinage 1963 and older?
This way I can use the coinage to manage the materials within to benefit the economy at a future date.
