COLUMBEN: THE WORLD IS FIAT
(WilliamBanzai7)
In the year two zero one and two
ColumBen sailed the fiat ocean blue.
He had three ships and left insane;
QE 1, 2 and 3 and a Keynesian brain.
He schemed by night; he fooled by day;
This PhD farce always got his way.
A Keynesian compass helped him know
How to schtup each and every average Joe.
Ninety men were on board;
Those men worked while the bankstas snored.
Then when the workers went to sleep;
The bankstas screwed them like big sheep.
Day after day they looked for Ponziland;
They dreamed of fiat trees and Ponzi sand.
October 8 their dream came true,
You never saw a bigger BLS Bullshit stew!
Look: "Employed Indians!" ColumBen cried;
His heart was filled with joyful pride.
But "India" the land was not;
It was Amerika, and it's economy was shot.
The angry natives weren't very nice;
All they gave the bankstas was a noose.
ColumBen sailed to find some Ponzi gold
To bring back home, as he'd been told.
He made the trip again and again,
But all he found was an empty Keynesian pen.

"The state is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else."

It all cuts like a knife.
My depression deepens.
"There is no need to fear or hope, but only to look for new weapons.” (Giles Deleuze)
Profound Gilles Deleuze quote there, WB7.
That quote is from a 1990 essay by this French philosopher, 'Postscript on the Societies of Control' -
The essay describes how the late 20th and 21st centuries mark a transition from the 'discipline' societies of the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, which were marked by people being essentially locked up in various 'enclosures' or 'institutions' - family, school, army, factory, prison, and hospital -
To our new, even more horrifying current human fate, where we are more or less constantly under fluid 'control' from which there is really no escape, like the 24/7 surveillance of ourselves even in our internet usage.
The fascist - Nazi era was the height of the 'discipline' society but now we are maybe going into something even worse in its comprehensiveness if not directly yet in the genocide (but give it time ...)
Deleuze cites Franz Kafka's great 'Der Prozeß - The Trial' of 1925, as a key work that marks the transition from the 'discipline' into the 'control' society, symbolised by how the 'trial' in the book is in fact endless.

Interesting guy, Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995). For those who want a survey that is not from the CIA's Wikipedia, here is a good summary of his life and work on the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy -

He conceptualized a millenial framework for resistance. His writings require exertion by the reader, but are a gold mine of ideas.
Thanks again, William. You made my day.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
Hey buddy, it's everyone's depression. Even for those that still have it good. No one will be left untouched by the time the ship rights itself once again. We have to stop believing in our politicians and we have to start believing in ourselves and one another.
See no rhyme,
In your reason to resist,
Resist the power,
By the hour,
Ask the people to assist,
In isolation we were beautiful,
Cultured and content.
Civilization bought diseases,
Now we breathe your devil scent,
And just like Christopher Columbus,
After 1492,
And just like Christopher Columbus,
You had a lot to answer fortunately,
Me and you are through.
Hope over reason,
The last bastion,
Of division and dissent,
Rebuilding bridges,
Climb the ridges,
Declarations of intent,
If we could harness all the firepower,
Turn it on itself,
We could shine brightly
Phosphorescent,
Seize the life upon it's shelf.
And just like Christopher Columbus,
After 1492,
And just like Christopher Columbus,
You had a lot to answer fortunately,
Me and you are through.
And just like Christopher Columbus,
After 1492,
And just like Christopher Columbus,
you had a lot to answer for.
And just like Christopher Columbus,
After 1492,
And just like Christopher Columbus,
You had a lot to answer fortunately,
Me and you are through.
The world is fiat broke...
A button with the two-headed beast. Hope-less.
Looks a bit like Arnold, without the muscle.
Thanks for sharing on Columxxx day, WB
Quagmire, not sesame street! You never cease to amaze me.
Love the old phones and rat's nest of cloth-covered wiring. I really like this one and others where you use old tech to lampoon our ludicrous state of affairs. I really don't know how you can keep coming up with this stuff.
I'm constatntly on the look out ;-)
I kill you.
Which translates as: durka durka
I used to think that Fiat was an Italian car.......................until I discovered Smirnoff.
Eat yer heart out, William...

Another one out of the park for WB7! Nooobody does it bettah!
Best portrait of the 2012 Presidential campaign I've seen.....
Your choice is 'Bad' and 'Worse' - and it's hard to tell which is which.....
Jim Kunstler today:
« To me, Mr. Romney just gave off the odor of someone who will do anything to get elected while Mr. Obama evinced the dejection of someone doubting it was worth it. »

Romney is a fucking vacuum cleaner salesman.
Sorry, but you give him too much credit. -1.
Human centipede comes to mind...the American masses are at the back eating the real shit.
could be worse..... we all (well, almost all - save the top 1/100 of 1%) could be Soylent Green
