Elections are making us choke
Illusions of choice are a joke
It's all just a ploy
For sheep to enjoy
Like rabbits enjoy a good smoke
The Limerick King
Wall Street has captured the State
Of this there can be no debate
Their power will rise
As liberty dies
And standards of living deflate
The Limerick King

As Kleptos will always want more
Their Cronys get ready for war
Their force is prepared
And none will be spared
Their slogan is: "Death To The Poor!"
The Limerick King
"The really dangerous American fascist... is the man who wants to do in the United States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a Prussian way. The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power... The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism... But always and everywhere they can be identified by their appeal to prejudice and by the desire to play upon the fears and vanities of different groups in order to gain power. They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective, toward which all their deceit is directed, is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection."
-- U.S. Vice President Henry A. Wallace, quoted in the New York Times, April 9, 1944

That is another situation like gold in the Fed. Ripe for manipulation without any independent means of verification.
Hedges is in fine form today: The S&M Election
You must be exhausted Banzai7. Take two political polls and call me in the morning. :)
The latest polls indicate the polls are leading.
"The latest polls indicate the polls are leading"
And you mean it. They really are.
ps, the visualcombat pixelated font is the best use I've seem in ages. Ironically, smooth.
Those Agencies that provide the poll data are certainly doing very well out of the current "neck and neck" race!
Yes, another grossly over built industry providing useless services.
I'm glad you noticed. I liked the way it came out. I liked the way that whole image came out. It was originally a photo montage of Mussolini.
That must mean we are losing.
Yo Soy un Perdedor!
Whooaa! WB7 and LK be workin' overtime on da visual/limerick combat!
So many great images I can't even choose which one is the best. Thanks for dealing the straight shit on the Red/Blue game show!
Happy Guy Fawkes Day!
The prescient exlamations of this and other speeches within the movie is astounding.
I have been accused of looking at this movie much the same as someone reading a fortune cookie, in that I find a generalized theme to apply to a specific set of circumstance. I have argued that 'No, in fact, I do not generalize today's specific happenings, in fact, I am willing to go so far a to provide support, documentation, and reason to the similarities mentioned above'. To date, not one out of many dozen have taken me up on the offer. Not one. Yet they argue just the same for their 'reality' and my obediance to it on their terms.
1984 and 'V for Vendetta'; political commentary of the path a nation will go if not kept in check by 'We The People'
-or-
A roadmap by which the oligarchs drive humanity towards that jagged bottom cliff.
Astounding work. The audio is................ unique. I do like the collage though as the soundtrack is playing, and will give it a thumbs up, although I would be hesitant to expose myself to different 'artists' who don't have the morality that you consistently display-- I would be afraid of subtle manipulation.
Thanks WB, humanity needs you now, and if the future survives with homo sapien sapiens still in existance, maybe your work will inspire them to avoid our present, their history.
It's a work in progress. This is version 3. The first version was in 2010, well before the Fawkes meme started spreading. Most people don't even know the speech from the movie, let alone who Guido Fawkes was.
I will admit I styled it as a counter form of propaganda. The first version was just media Images and was unnerving. Then I started adding in my images which are obviously agenda driven, but not hyperbole in my opinion. The sound mixing I can do from being a closet musician.
Many here think that not voting sends a message, or somehow frees us from the sham. While that may be true on the national level, please consider voting against the many bond issues and tax hikes in your local elections.
Not voting is a personal decision.
Writing in a name, be it Ron Paul or someone else, sends a very clear message.
"Writing in a name, be it Ron Paul or someone else, sends a very clear message."
To whom? They are not officially counted in most states unless the candidate has registered to be a write-in. And even if they have and the vote is actually officially recorded, you are never going to see it in any widely available public documentation and even if you did, virtually no one is going to notice and even fewer are going to care.
A total waste of f'ing time until the vast majority wake up to the scam, but they never will. The multi-trillion dollar taxpayer funded gravy train beneficiaries can afford just one whole hell of a lot of propaganda to keep the illusion of choice alive and the voters ignorant of reality.
Half of the people you see on the street every day are on the left hand side of the IQ bell curve. Of the half on the right, most haven't learned how to use what they have. Those who have and do either see the scam clearly and refuse to play or run the scam and profit greatly from it.
Ones conscience I suppose, for starters. Being able to say I wrote in X, instead of I stayed home.
There are other proactive ways one can deal with the situation, not necessarily on election day.
You can write in Henry Wallace if you want...
Better to just right in Nobody and attach the quote.
Twisted from Devo's FREEDOM OF CHOICE
A victim of collusion on the big screen TV
Nobody ever said that life was free
Red or Blue, get down with the State
But use your freedom of choice
I'll say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Your freedom of choice
In ancient Rome there was a poem
About a dog who found two bones
He sniffed Obama
He licked Mitt Romney
He went in circles
He dropped dead
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice!
Then if you got it you don't want it
Seems to be the rule of thumb
Don't be tricked by what you see
Everyone can vote for NONE!
we will get through this, as a species and rebuild the great dream of liberty
fuck these con men
Well we Hope this will be the case, but Change is a'comin, and it's not the "nice, comfortable, improvement-of-lifestyle" change that the masses would prefer.
And this WILL happen irrespective of Nov. 7th's outcome.
Only after between 3 and 5 billion people die off and that is a hefty price to pay.
Some people ask what does "status quo" mean? It means having a huge Wall Street dildo stuck up your economy, 24/7/365.
And here is the complete Banzai7 Hopless Election Day Set for your perusal...
Rest in Peace George. May you be sitting at the bar of eternally flowing free rounds and doobies.

a crusty wadded up ball of tissue?
And not be a fool for a day, unlike the rest of you desperately clinging to voting as if it were some kind of salve.
