Speaking of Columbus, that reminds me. Happy Columbus Day, WB.
BTW, good ole Chris was an awful, wretched slaver, so of course, we give him a National holiday:

Tnx
In celebration I had a huge NY style pizza slice Saturday night. Amazing that they can do it. They must be importing the water for the dough. ;-)
haha...that wouldn't surprise me.
cuz that's how they do it in HK.
you corrupted me, duB7, off for a NY "style" slice now
Thank you.
Your link is proof that we need to dust this one off from time to time for posterity to show how ignorant and insane we truly are.
Especially with that "defining document" that came 297 years later that contained some of the most profound fundamental laws ever to be created that have been violated, abused and ignored probably too many times to count at this point...
In 521 years nothing has changed. Still the same cast of characters running it!

economists. there was a program on t.v, a lecture by
an economist claiming that the economists won world war II.
i couldn't watch it so that is all i can tell you about it.
anyway, the vision of men must be financed some how and that
is the job of the financial system and the money system.
see below for the vision of men. so hideous they had to
attribute it to a demon from outer or inner space.

Ape and Essence
A forgotten Masterpiece

"..-And remember this," he adds: "even without synthetic glanders, even without the atomic bomb, Belial could have achieved all His purposes. A little more slowly, perhaps, but just as surely, men would have destroyed themselves by destroying the world they lived in. They couldn't escape. He had them skewered on both His horns. If they managed to wriggle off the horn of total war, they would find themselves impaled on starvation. And if they were starving, they would be tempted to resort to war. And just in case they should try to find a peaceful and rational way out of their dilemma, He had another subtler horn of self-destruction all ready for them. From the very beginning of the industrial revolution He foresaw -that men would be made so over-weeningly bumptious by the miracles of their own technology that they would soon lose all sense of reality. And that's precisely what happened. These wretched slaves of wheels and ledgers began to congratulate themselves on being the Conquerors of Nature. Conquerors of Nature, indeed! In actual fact, of course, they had merely upset the equilibrium of Nature and were about to suffer the-consequences. just consider what they were up to during the century and a half before the Thing. Fouling —the rivers, killing off the wild animals, destroying the forests, washing the topsoil into the sea, burning up an ocean of petroleum, squandering the minerals it had taken the whole of geological time to deposit. An orgy of criminal imbecility. And they called it Progress. Progress," he repeats, "Progress! I tell you, that was too rare an invention to have been the product of any merely human mind-too fiendishly ironical!9." a.h.
+1 for the Little Feat!
Enjoyed the quote too.
+1. Live records don't get much better than Waiting for Columbus.
In the 80's when I was abusing the record clubs (BMG and Columbia, remember, buy one get 12 free!, then cancel and go to the other one), I used to get multiple copies of Waiting For Columbus to give my friends. Time to dig it out again.

Try the newly launched iTunes radio, which is free.
You won't be disappointed.
You can set up a channel for each band/artist/song and marvel at the music that plays back, much of which you either never heard of or have not heard in years.
They run a short ad every ten or so songs.
I am dissappointed that The Last Waltz is not on that list.
what me apple? ... no i for me. vinyl/dvd/occasional youtube/pandora. thanks for the thought tho'
(and i was trying to keep it on the short list. LW definitely in there.)
I suppose Pandora does the same thing.
Do they do it for free?
In any event, I am always excited to hear new/good music of many different genres.
Pandora's great (and free). I'm listening now. Only place I know you can listen to Al Bowlly, Ray Nobles, Glen Gray, Pee Wee Hunt and others from the by-gone era of the '30's. Love it! By the by, WMBZ7, you're stuff is amazing. Can't tell you enough how provocative, interesting and spot-on it is! Thanks, buddy!
Sadly, due to the ins and outs of digital rights management, I can't get it in HK, at least in HK "proper". I was able to slip in through a back door with iTunes radio.
down vote for the i666 plug
it's all evil but they are near the core
Not a plug. Just a fact. And there is very little they can spy on my iTunes account other than the fact that I purchase nothing.
Read all the dystopean novels like Neuromancer and Snowcrash. The cool dudes know how to work the machine to their advantage.
I am sure you probably caught Schmift saying Google is more private than Apple.
Today's revelation: http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nsa-collects-milli...
Now evacuate the Internet immediately. ;-)
that may have been true while StevieJ was alive...
nonetheless, like AuroraXM said once (to paraphrase)

One has to consider that the minute one turns a device of any kind on, privacy trade offs are being made.
Practically speaking there are absolutely no secrets on the internet.
The problem for them is there is just too much data to digest in order for it to be of any practical use.
They can't even name a specific situation where all this "spy spend" has averted an attack.
The problem for each of us is how to be an an epowered user in the secure/privacy sense.
The answer is treat the Internet like your fly.
Try not to walk around in public with it unzipped.
"The problem for them is there is just too much data to digest in order for it to be of any practical use"
thus the growth industry of Big Data
it is just a matter of time before all of those disparate tidbits are aggregated into a handy APP that provides its user with past, present and projected future on just about anybody, anywhere at anytime
it's already starting and will accelerate
There is a list 5 pages long of Silicon Valley companies who exist to harvest, aggregate and interpret personal data
What's more is that as paper records become digitized information that once was presumed confidential or at least inaccessible is now a few clicks away to any one who wants to know
the great debate
BanZai vs. Zer0
excellent arguments from both sides.
somewhere stuck in the middle I M

I dunno what a Kilgore Trout is, but your musical taste is impeccable! R.I.P. Lowell and Richie :(
“Kilgore Trout once wrote a short story which was a dialogue between two pieces of yeast. They were discussing the possible purposes of life as they ate sugar and suffocated in their own excrement. Because of their limited intelligence, they never came close to guessing that they were making champagne.”
? Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions
Read more quotes from Kurt Vonnegut
http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/13203-kilgore-trout-once-wrote-a-short-s...
there is a real Kilgore Trout you know. He wrote Venus on the Half Shell. (he was inspired by the literary character and he applied to Vonnegut for the rights to use that pen name. Vonnegut agreed)
So, that's it. We're making champange, blindman! Fine champagne! I always knew, somehow, that this life was but a test. Will we make the cut? I'm only half joking.
could be! the trick is to slip away before we
kill ourselves/eachother in the/our own excrement? and maybe
taste some of the champagne once in a while.
kurt v. also said in response to the question-complaint
concerning his horrible smoking habit,
"i'm slowly committing suicide by nicotine".
something like that. if you get a chance check out
"slaughter house five" and another guy named
howard zinn, many books and lectures in audio format
and interviews; both wwII generation independent thinkers/commentators
concerning their war experience.
best to you!
from the kurt site-
“If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph:
THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED
FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
WAS MUSIC”

God, Ben looks GOOD in that hat!
Perfect WB.
A man who dresses like that and holds the book so tightly to his chest; You'll not change his mind.
Benny is a criminal working for bigger criminals who know exactly what they are doing. What would you like to change his mind to do? Serve your interests instead of their own?
He don't need to change his mind to dig ditches with his bare hands, while my slobbering German shepherd bares fangs six inches from his face.
We don't want to change his mind do we, we want to do something else...
Or at least Barry and Rahm do ... ;-)
Gruff Rhys - Christopher Columbus
I dream of freedom,
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 unfortunately,
we sneezed 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.
Remember, they don't give a fuck about you, they don't care about you, they don't give a fuckity fuck!
And that, my friend, is why I don't give a fuckity-fuck (good one, btw), about them. If you find yourself at a town hall meeting, point your finger and laugh at the schmuck(s) at the front of the room. It drives 'em crazy!
Don't tase me bro!
Ahh fuck it, it's not me that's dying here, it's all of us.
I really like that one WB7. Wicked.;-)

No only do they NOT give a fuck, they distain you and feed you poison and are, in fact, killing and sterilizing you. Listen to Allen Watt on youtube, let it soak in a little bit.
Better yet read "Seeds of Destruction" by F. William Engdahl.
Well documented pure EVIL and most the people here know who the perpetrators are.

Back before our Government was overthrown by Terrorist Bankers we used to use real money printed by the Treasury, interest free
http://www.fastcoin.com/images/one-hundred-silver-certificates-41707.jpg
Put Obama, the entire Congress and the Federal Reserve criminals behind bars and throw away the keys
Yeahbut, those notes were redeemable in silver coin and there was a great rush to do so before the cutoff date in LBJ's misadministration.
"
End of the Silver CertificatesSeries 1957 A $1 Silver Certificate. This is a Star Note, showing it replaced a bill damaged during production.
Certificates circulated, mainly in the $1 denomination, widely throughout the United States in the years following 1934. When the '34s wore out, they were replaced with a new, more modern-looking Series 1953 (1935 for the $1 silvers; see below), with the same face changes as the Series 1950 Federal Reserve Notes had experienced. However, the Silver Certificates began to disappear from circulation during the 1940s and 1950s. The amount of Silver Certificates in circulation depended directly upon the amount of silver bullion in the Treasury vaults. As people redeemed the certificates for bullion or silver dollars, the notes were shredded, because the notes had lost their backing and could not be recirculated unless there was more silver being produced. The price of silver was also rising. In 1960, it was nearing $1.29, which meant that silver dollars were worth more than $1. This meant that people would receive their silver dollars and melt them down for the bullion, thereby reducing the amount of silver in circulation, which was already falling.
In 1963 President John F. Kennedy issued Executive Order 11110, transferring his authority to issue Silver Certificates to the Treasury Secretary while preparations were made to issue the first $1 Federal Reserve Notes as a replacement for the Silver Certificates.
In March 1964, Secretary of the Treasury C. Douglas Dillon halted redemption of silver certificates for coined silver dollars; during the following four years, silver certificates were redeemable in uncoined silver "granules." All redemption in silver ceased on June 24, 1968"
A coin dealer told me that many dealers were packing notes in milk cartons to be shipped for redemption in specie before the above date.
a Phillip Castle(esque)
eYe
brilliant!
But WMBANZAI7, we don't give a fuckity fuck about them either? Live, love life!
You mean pretend paper money is actually only worth a piece of paper? I guess a Government based on pretend money is only a pretend Government...
Isn't it fun to play along?
This is a fun game.
Lets all pretend that we really have a Government!
