The bull has now taken its place
As the head of the whole human race
Markets now rise
As Liberty dies
Our system is such a disgrace!

The people just don't understand
Our system is centrally planned
It's no longer free

Are now the "Invisible Hand"

Sold all of my gold & silver stash this morning and reinvested everything into a recycling plant & research lab turning wall street and big gov. SHIT ( physical and verbal ) into energy. I am encouraged that this is One of the few commodities with an infinite supply dynamic. Happy Days!!!

Just turned on the Masters golf -- Tiger finished and removed his cap - WTF - the dude looks like he has been seeing Michael Jackson's cosmetic surgeon - and I hear he cheats at golf too
Ah geeze, there goes the neighborhood.

Certainly, financial coercion is the primary weapon of coercion wielded against the citizens and the several states, by the central government.
I'm beginning to feel like I'm not even a member of the same species. Based on what people consider to be important. Two weeks ago it was all about Gay Marriage. You couldn't turn on a news channel without hearing about it. This week it's "Animal Safety On Film Sets." Yes, both excruciatingly critical issues that deserve my undivided attention. Maybe I'm some alien that was sent here to observe and report back. I really don't feel a connection to this species anymore.
I watched the movie Bad Company last night. I haven't seen it in years. It was made in the early 70s. So this group of young men were heading west to avoid the civil war conscription. They wanted to live off the land.
One scene the group lined up and they all shot a rabbit for dinner. The film actually showed the rabbit getting shot and killed. So nobody knows how to butcher it properly but one of the main characters goes about the butchery.
I really think he actually butchered the rabbit. The camera shows his upper body as he says things like " then you cut this" you never really get to see the rabbit until its all skinned. I really think he skinned and gutted it for real.
This was a fantastic piece of cinema. I'm not one for movies but this scene really was fantastic. If you were to try this now they would burn fucking Hollywood down. But you can always kill a million humans no problem. Funny world.
the american western genre became so cliched about that time, that just about any story could be told through the lens. i'll look that one up, i like to collect rare or unusual western films. we've come to this point where psuedo violence is more graphic than the real thing, and real violence is not permittable. just like there is an app now to show you where you are walking, because too many people are bumping into things, walking in front of traffic while texting. the lens is almost part of our being now, its a good idea to do something real everyday, just to keep your senses in balance.
Look at Hitler's Germany. Horses and dogs were treated extremely well and harsh penalties were enacted on anyone guilty of animal abuse. While people were starving, horses ridden around Berlin were plump and well groomed. You're either a pet or meat to the Aristocracy.
Miffed;-)
and now the embarassing silence. Hurtz donut.

Listen, I don't know where you get that shit from. The big issue is Bieber's monkey and whether the Germans should grant him safe harbor.
Ach du lieber Gott !
We euthanized Justine Bieber this Morning in the Berlin Zoo,
but we have heard nothing about the Monkeys since 1968,
NOTHING.

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, or you wouldn’t have come here.”

Yes indeed
when i was a kid, if you were driving and you hit a dog, you kept going. if you hit a person you stopped to help them. now its the exact opposite

Chicken and egg question: Which comes first, the limerick or the picture?
Usually, the picture, but the invisible hand was an exception.
It would have been fun to see the Middle Class funneling down the drain. Screaming for help.
Why don't you do one with Bernanke and a bubble pipe blowing bubbles with Dollars in them.
The world's creditor hierarchy has changed,
By the banks it has been rearranged.
Now bondholders are golden,
Depositors beholden,
And their accounts unconscionably shortchanged.

Nice work Jack.
thanks m.
I bet they all bought insurance for hurricanes and such. Broken windows and all. I think somebody just landed on "Bought Tulips pay bank $200,000"

Markets now rise
As Liberty dies
*sigh*....and I argue with Liberals on another message board that are so proud of Obama...and will not even begin hearing that the market is in no way a reflection of anything other than rampant manipulation, and that our freedoms are, well, going down the shitter. The get 'freeshit' from the government, they are happy...just as the planners conceived.
Liberalism works on a steady beat of currency debasement. Living standards decline, the central state gets bigger and bigger, but there's always welfare to keep that bag of dog food in the pantry. It's the perfect system. With the checks and balances of the Constitution, it's impossible to get rid of and besides the bankers that print the money control the rule making process in DC. We're all working on the new plantation. Well some of us are working.....
Whatta, Liberalism is a brain disease, kind of like depression, being suicidal or beastiality. As is believeing that anything can be done to change it.
Most excellent work, Mr. Banzai7 !
A sad comment on what is, but most excellent work.
Now what we do?
That's the hard part.
Great work WB7. I always enjoy it but the LK deserves special accolades for this one. Spot on.

Thanks for the kind words.
Today's limerick is your best work to date LK!
I was thinking just now how much focus on television news is spent on our government. We forget how odd this is. A government should not be leading the nation in all ways; deciding everything for us. It should provide a silent backdrop of respected law and courts. The news should not be focused on ways the government has decided to interfere with our lives. This makes me very sad because it would take at least a generation to realize this.
It's by design.
All government all the time: omnipresence.
i would say the MSM spends ALL of its time on our government, and almost NONE of it is about our government. (rather than explain gun control laws we show the parents of Sandy Hook)

This man says it best. 25 yr-old interview with ex kgb agent who defected to US.
Lady Liberty better watch her ass I hear JP Morgue is in the process of cornering the copper market.
Great stuff gents.
Yes, the Golden Calf has replaced Lady Liberty and Justice.
Ben can keep doing QE if he turns around in a year or two and sends $6 Trillion to U.S. taxpayers; that would be about $3 Million for each person.
Why not? Think about it - if they can do it to buy bonds, MBS's, fund foreign banks, and bail out banks and corporations - why not give it to the people?
To do that would mean a loaf of bread would cost $4 million...bank on it. Law of supply and demand my friend.
I was thinking along similar lines this morning.
"We must stimulate by expanding the money supply." The fact that they will only expand the money supply via the banks instead of circulating directly to the people, just reaffirms that the whole thing is one big wealth transfer ass fucking machine.
They want everyone to conveniently believe that this mode of "economic stimulation" is for everyone's benefit.
But it most certainly is not.
i would say they are trying to prevent a failure of the existing economic policy, which grows the money supply according to population and the number of (poor) people entering the consumer class. there was just a ton of hope, and near certainty that when China's poor entered the global consumer market that the world economy would rise with it. wall street saw China as America in the 1930s. (never mind they had tried the same con by selling Russia as the state shoppers archipelago, a decade before, and it didn't work.) doing the same thing over and expecting different results...
now world population has peaked, probably, and the industrial age, expansion of an economy through commodity resources, turning raw products into finished goods, its over, no matter where on this earth you live, or what time frame you are stuck in. (i'm pretty sure wall street will try selling us Africa as America in the 30's before long.) its really a lack of vision, but economic policy, especially when its tied to statism, is doomed to failure.
And if Africa doesn't work they still have one more dirt shack to sell.....India.
