We Begin
The Matrix was a movie released on 33-11-999, or as more commonly formatted (in the USA), 3-31-1999. In the 14 years since it's debut it has become one of the most influential cultural icons of any generation, not only here in America but throughout much of the globe. Everyone, at least those ones in Western sphere societies, somehow, can readily identify with it. I wonder why?
No, I don't. I know exactly why. The Matrix was an urgent tap on the shoulder of ones who slumbered for too long. It was Neo's alarm clock going off after he had spent the night chasing the White Rabbit. It itself was a Red Pill, subliminal and subconsciously delivered, setting us on a collision course towards a wakeful state.
On 9-11-2001, WTC #1 and #2 were offered to Americans as the Red Pill and the Blue Pill. Except there was no choice: we were force-fed the Blue Pill, a concoction of Prozac, Viagra, Extenz, and Meth. A review of our history from that choreographed day to now reveals all too plainly the grotesque tragedy of America the Empire as it played out towards its predictably inevitable demise. Today, America is a mere rumor of what was once upon a time a respected nation of common statesmen and country scholars; the land of the free and home of the brave. Oh, what a sad irony those words now elicit.
So here it is on a 13 date, and it's 11:55 as I glance at the clock on my computer. This day is a long one in coming. I asked Tyler to let me blog on Zero Hedge over a year ago. I wanted to begin spreading a word, a gospel--the Gospel of Chumba. Perhaps I am an arrogant man. Or perhaps I see what is happening today as Biblical in proportions. The Sequle, as it were, being written before our very eyes. We are witness to the next aeon of history; the year zero. It is begun again.
I know, I know, none of this makes any sense whatsoever. Chumba's a douche, and Tyler's a fag for letting him on here to spew this horse shit. My response to you is: patience, brother. Patience. This is a process. First, we need to open your eyes, but it must be done slowly. The first actual rays of real light shining into your pupils are going to be overwhelming and painful. This is normal. You will be dazed and confused, cognitively dissonant. I am going to blow your mind, and you will not like it one bit. But you will thank me for it later. You're welcome.
To begin this journey, you must awaken within the dream, before you can awaken out of it. So follow the white rabbit. Don't worry about over-sleeping and being late for work. You're soon to find out your job or career or whatever is irrelevant anyway, once you come to the realization that modern society is merely the modern day equivalent of the Colonial American slave plantation, just with benefits like a corner office and vacation time. It's an elaborate stage performance put on to convince you that you're free, and everyone is a player in the charade, too doped up to realize what they're watching in the TV is themselves. A caricature for sure, but ourselves nonetheless, a carnival house reflection of what we have become.
But the crazy dream, it ends now. Wakey wakey. There is work to do.
I am Chumbawamba.

I've been trying to convince my wife for 7 years. She's a psychologist so you can imagine the analysis I've undergone. Diagnosis: Koo koo for cocoa puffs. UNTIL...this boston bombing. Even she can see this is bullshit. Now she's asking questions and making statements that show me she's starting to get it. The red pill is in her mouth, all she has to do is swallow now. FINALLY. I've been waiting years for her to swallow.
I have been discussing many things with my husband over the last four years. He's finally starting to get it, but it has been a long slow process. Now he is willing to finally get a supply of food and water started. That's a good beginning...
Not touching that last sentence with a ten foot pole. ha ha.

Reactions I get: wide eyes, one step back, awkward attempt to change the subject. I have met very few people out there who either ask more questions or who really get what's going on. I'm not a psycho. When an issue comes up, I just plainly state the truth. Now many in our town opine that I'm a radical. Whatever.
Yes. My friend seems proud that he has not bought any PMs. Instead he has invested in landscaping for his house.
If that 'landscaping investment' includes fruit trees, organic gardening and chickens he may know more than you think, but I suspect from your comment that it's decorative and he's shooting for the cover of House & Garden.
keep them coming Chumba
Chumb...Can you add my user name to the alert function when you post? I get Cogs posts like this. Sometimes it makes my entire day.

you forgot to add racists, jealous losers, and persons of low intellect to your list.
try looking in the mirror if you're trying to figure out what's wrong with society.
We're not taking anyone's money.
They are going to give back the money they stole, though. Its very sweet of them.
come on 'Wumba we watin' ...
okay, some bear shitting in the woods, see there shit on the forest floor and tracks. why can't we go bear hunting?
season not open yet? season suspended due to survey of population? no license? no gun? why is that bear so goddam elusive? maybe it is in hibernation? maybe it has magical powers to watch me and laugh as I stalk to my stand and dump more garbage on the forest floor. Can this bear be ever omni present and know my every move before I can act?
The fucking bear is stalking you and about ready to take your head off...
+1 for this line.

where's the bit about tear the motherfucker down?
Another seer proselytizing in riddles; not sure I feel like putting in the effort. Much prefer straight talk/no BS. But I readily admit it would be a boring world if we were all the same.........
Yeah, sorry Chumba - negative vote from me too. Dispense with the scary sounding riddles and just speak plainly. You hurt your message trying to sound like some preacher in training. The world needs more logic and clear arguments.
I'm the conductor of this orchestra. You don't like it, go buy a radio.

Too many people spend too much time worrying about what color their pills are, and what the intended effects of each pill are, and what should be a simple process turns into a dramatic production, that somehow retains ignorance of the glaringly obvious.
This caught my eye this morning-
Is there gold in Fort Knox? That question is completely irrelevant. Why? Will it really make a difference?

The SNB chairman confirmed approximately 10% at BoC and 20% tons at BoE at the shareholders meeting last Friday. Given what he was trying to do and trying to head off, he would have been wiser to quantify in tons as opposed to percentages, but he's a pill popper too, just on a different prescription, and thankfully a lower dose than his predecessor.
I thought they already made this movie.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0399877/?ref_=tt_rec_tt
Directed by Chumbawamba must be the new release.
Yawn.
Alhamdulillah, we are all Chumbawamba!
Fuldah! :)
Ya Allah. Is that like being on a list (or two) or something?
What a pleasant way to begin a Friday; Chumba on the front page.

I'm not.
Signing every post like a 2 year old admiring his first poop in the big potty.
What's with that?
You're too young to understand.
I explained it on ZH a long time ago, in response to a polite request. I tried to Google it, but failed. I won't bother repeating the story as to why. It's neither important nor interesting.
Okay, I'll listen. But since I shot said rabbit a long time ago, you won't blow my mind, rest assured. Nevertheless I agree that there's much work to do. However, I strongly disagree with your statement that we won't like it. The opposite is true: I don't like one bit what I have now - and I'm looking moarward to see the light of a new day. We will not capitulate, we won't let them terrorize us, and the day will come, when we shall be free.
I'm right there with you, my eyes are wide open.I still see these bankster cocksuckers even when they're closed. My fear is that I'm so much in a minority, a minority the government seem hellbent to silence, that the masses will not wake up until its too late or even worse become willing accomplices to tyranny being unleashed. Everyday I wake up hoping to see the outrage in my fellow man and everyday I'm deepy disappointed.
Excellent comment sir - I have the exact same feelings myself. There are times I wish I could go back to my old life of giving a shit about professional sports and having a grand old time - neither knowing or caring about the game being played. But knowledge is a responsibility - and since I took the red pill, and have become fully awake, life is different. Seeing other prople go about their business as if none of this were real, and trying desperately, but at the end of the day, in vain, to wake them from their slumber is getting difficult to bear.
I fear, I believe like most of us on here, that by the time they finally wake up, it will be far too late to actually do anything. Most prople I encounter would gladly trade liberty for security, and see absolutely nothing wrong with the approaching tyranny. The typical response I get is "Well, what do I care? I've got nothing to hide". They completly miss the point, and those folks will never get it. For them, it's easier to accept their fate then actually gain knowledge and accept the responsibility that comes with it - and the banksters and powers that be know that.
I fear for our future fellow ZHers.....
If we get lucky enuf to have Chumba post on a steady regular basis, we might get a retelling of his credit card story. It was hilarious.
Congrats on becoming a contributor,
Yours, SamuelMaverick
Those of us who have been on ZH from early on remember Chumba very well. I for one welcome my alien Chumba overlord. :)
<I can't wait till the next ZH contributor Xmas party.>
/snark
I am honored, my friend ;)
I see Akmadinajadad or however you spell his name, the Pres of Iran was arrested yesterday by his own folks. Is there some sanity coming out of the Iranians or are the pressure of the sanctions really bringing about a change - for a change?
I know this didn't happen because I didn't see it on ZH.
-Chumblez.
we be 'tubthumpin'
Not sure what exactly to make of this.
But hey, at least it's not Leo or Marc to Retardation.
I see some promise here --- keep going Chumba.
I have not seen any posts by Leo for years, but maybe he is busy making money on POMO days.
Actually most old timers are either totally gone or hardly post. We used to get a lot of meaningful commentary, but lately sarcasm has taken over. And yet sarcasm is perhaps the best way to make points.
Chumba is welcomed back.
Intriguing and interesting start.
