Sheeple come blue or come red
Purples at least use their head
But those in the black
Won't follow the pack
Many of these end up dead

This mask is a clever disguise
Of hope used to cover the lies
Trust has been broken
Sheep have awoken
Rebellion is sure to arise

Banzai, great work but I believe I need to correct your diction. The proper term for truth loving free thinkers is domestic terrorists, not trouble makers.
Enemy combatants.
They literally look upon online dissent as a form of warfare. One can find it all on the Internet.
I just downloaded a military publication regarding the use of images as weapons,
True dat.
Ill vote for Nobody, because Nobody will keep thier promises. Nobody cares about the poor. Nobody cares about your Freedom. I guess I'm a ZH Black dotter! Keep it coming WB7 and LK!
WB's art above reminds me of the 1973 film 'My Name is Nobody', a very enjoyable western movie, about a new brash young gunfighter who called himself 'Nobody'
Movie starred Terence Hill and Henry Fonda, and had a really extraordinary musical soundtrack by Ennio Morricone of spaghetti Western (Good Bad & Ugly etc.) fame ... music included a great hilarious Western re-do spoof of the 'Ride of the Valkyries' music, for when the Wild Bunch bandit gang was riding. The film music is quite Morricone's best, on a par with that of 'The Good, The Bad & The Ugly'
Here is the trailer ... fun film

Thank You much for the memory giggle - that bitchslapping scene was hilarious!
Great movie
How about we stop trying to reference reality with Hollywood crap?
And what is lady liberty doing?
Nixon drove a knife through her eye socket, she's been dead for decades. But we just keep on voting for the bastards. Our founding fathers didn't vote on who was the best Redcoat, they used their guns to get rid of them, like we should be doing.
Yes lets talk real life - have you all seen The Matrix?
You make me all tingly !
"The secret of a long life is you try not to shorten it"
Nobody.
FIRE! FIRE! hehe Yeah, yeah, FIRE! Like, it's better than broken windows. hehe I like FIRE! hehe
With all the systemic lies, state sponsored plunder, planned and strategized rule, the emblem of the sovereign should be the statue of Liberality with flying skirts, hairy legs, 6" stilettos, and guy (fawkes) parts.
Yea, lady liberty is actually a dude. BTW, Krug in German means WOE. Pale KrugMan
Huh huh, Shut up Beavis!
it's now obvious why the marxists of New York State left banking and the city itself wide open to the risk of financial and environmental disaster
they think carnage is an economic stimulus
Sandy is perfect KARMA.
The prop traders speculating in oil now get to stand in long lines at the gas stations.
Those who sould counterfeit subprimes at their respective banks now get to repair their damaged homes at inflated commodity prices.
If the rest of the tristate area doesn't straighten them out, I lose empathy for them all. Except for a few who are sharing their electricity with strangers, those who kennel abandoned dogs, etc.
I'm not in the US, is there any investigative journalism kicking off there yet why a $2 Trillion in real estate area like New York has had such a teeny weeny polka dot bikini of a sea wall, only 5 ft above a typical high tide i think was mentioned?
I heard today the death toll is now at 74. Mayor Bloomberg said the deaths were sad but showed how "dangerous the environment can be" which is frankly rubbish. It's dangerous if man doesn't prepare a defence for what's coming down the pipe
and one of Banzai's photo's this week showed NY was hit by the exact same flooding back in the 60's. So it's hardly a freak event and shows Govt does not progress anything whatsoever in 50 long years ..not to mention all public transport crippled ..i'll be amazed if tubes or trains are up and running again in a week
Normalcy bias. NYC is hardly the only place unprepared for the so-called 100-year storm, (soon to be renamed the 20-year storm)..
much like the QE storm...occuring more frequently, with greater destruction each time.
Investigative journalism? The phrase can only elicit humor in today's media landscape. The only investigators are bloggers and a few writers for magazines like Rolling Stone or Mad Magazine.
I grew up on the water in NYC so I speak from personal observation. There is no sea defense infrastructure in NYC. Just a hodge podge of barriers and foundations constructed to facilitate various buildings and waterfront properties. Those who live in so called low lying areas are constantly told, prepare for high water.
The whole East Coast is like that. The strategy has been to gamble that your building or house won't get hit by a once every 100 year storm. I hate to say it, but we have it coming.
Bloomberg suddenly had a eureka moment. The shit is real. It's only going to get worse and the Koch Brothers sitting up in their Penthouses couldn't give a rats ass on Sunday about what happens to the little people who ride the Subway.
has Mayor Bloomberg been questioned at any news conference or has he just given a speech and avoided Q&A sessions?
it's a very sore and sensitive subject right now but surely even the MSM cannot pad the "dangerous environment" line Mayor B is peddling without asking a simple question why sea defences were so poor, who last looked at building them up and why no budget was allocated to do so
I presume there must be many skeletons in NY's cupbaord after the 1960's drowning with political reports calling for better sea defences that were obviously sat on and the investment rejected
BTW, the notion of being cornered in a news conference is another quaint anachronism. Politicians have adapted to that discomfort quite capably.
Just keep repeating whatever three bullet points you decided on before the conference.
New York went through a twenty year period of shoe string finance, welfare spending and insolvency, so there was no eagerness to shore up anything except law and order.
Most of the critical trading and back office infrastructure migrated out of downtown Manhattan and I am sure flooding was a major concern along with cost of doing business.
There is still no money to build a giant sea defense along the hundreds of miles of shore line in the Greater NY Metro. Long term people will have to move out of certain areas because the rising sea won't allow them to stay. They will scream for barriers etc, but it makes no sense.
The question is why are critical elements of infrastructure such as grid stations and tunnels left so undefended. If anyone of those tunnels got flooded that would be a big big deal in normal times. In this instance all of them were flooded save one or two. That is amazing.
if the New York State can't be arsed to build a higher sea wall to defend $2 trillion in real estate then the private sector has to decide, either leave or build on stilts as per houses along many beaches
it's a simple solution, doesn't cost much more than just extending the support structure up 6-7 ft
1 decent defensive sea wall versus 3 million homes and offices etc on stilts.. the cheaper option appears still to be New York State being pro-active rather than a turkey hoping Christmas doesn't come around every 50 years
The truth is most ordinary New Yorkers couldnt care a less about all those bankers with summer homes on the barrier islands. The stilt idea doesn't seem to work very well when the whole beach and access road gets washed out.
Zero Govt, I'm flabbergasted. You advocating a public project? I must be misunderstanding something...
Doesn't have to be a GOVERNMENT funded programme - could just as well be a programme funded (and built) by a local Housing Association - less red tape, less bureaucracy, more of the money spent going into the engineering solution rather than some faceless bureaucrat's pockets.
And, the locally developed "solutions" could be "exported" to neighbouring housing associations - trade at a local level, essentially free form Government interference.
And of course that WON'T be happening if BIG GOVERNMENT has any say in the matter . . . . .
I would only like to know who downvoted WB7 for this post? I have never once downvoted anyone in my time on ZH. I am saving my first downvote for a special occasion and I will at least have the intestinal fortitude to explain why I needed to issue the downvote. To simply downvote without refuting an argument or assertion is the act of an intellectual coward.
William, your artwork on this post has been some of your best work so far. I especially enjoyed the Beavis/Krugman reference. Thank You for your efforts.
Some bankster with a gaudy beach bungalow on Dune Road in West Hampton.
Krugmans's take on the proverbial broken window, is a monument to intellectual contortion. Disaster Keynesianism indeed.
Ben prints fiat
for this idiot.
