If you had knowledge of a crime being committed against the United States, say for example your employer had gone rogue with it's spying program in violation of the Constitution, you would be obligated to report that crime or would yourself be guilty of participating in it.
"In the United States misprision of treason is a federal offense"
Even if it turned out that your asessment was incorrect, if you had reason to believe a crime was being committed, it would be appropriate to bring it to light in a way that it, (or you) could not be quickly buried.
A federal judge has ruled has ruled that NSA spying is likely illegal in that it violates The Constitution.
If a federal judge believes that NSA spying "likely" qualifies as a crime, then exposing the criminals was the appropriate course of action, NOT A CRIME BUT AN OBLIGATION.
In the end, history will record Edward Snowden as a patriot.
America, is it a thought or is it a place? Is it a nation founded in blood, sweat, mistakes, corrections, anticapations of better days to come? Is it a nation founded on the belief that some are created more equal than others? I am weary. The world can be lovely or harsh. Life can have moments of breathless ecstasy and gut wrenching agony. It is the freedom in a surise to ponder the day as a free man or woman that has made America great. Free. Liberty. In God we trust. I will not go into which God. I take great pleasure in the laughter of my grandkids. I chuckle when I hear the ups and downs of my kids describing their work places. My folks 88, and 84 are looking for a nursing home now. Dad came to America in 1950 with hope and dreams. He became a citizen and that by the book. We were a nation of law once. To WB7, never stop my friend. While we have the internet, don't stop. The pen is indeed mightier than the sword until you have a blade in your face. We, at least my fellow Americans on this site, are using pens while we have a sword in our face now. I have lived the better half of my life. I have seen my country change and not for the better. We must still and always make a difference when and where we can. Live, love, laugh and hold your kids tight. Raise them right. We say yes sir and yes maam in my house and as long as I draw breath in my house, we will. We will butcher and process four steers in mid January and my six year old grandson will be there with a knife and apron. He knows where our meat comes from. You see, there is plenty pioneer blood coursing through a lot of our veins. I am one of the quiet ones and daddy always told me and my brothers, beware the quiet ones cause if they blow, it will be memorable. May 2014 be the year the quiet ones unite and say, no more, not on my watch, not for my kids, not for my grandkids. "taxation without representation" was once a battle cry. WB7, keep on and never give up your pen. Happy New Year to all who venture here.
it is explicitly because this nation still boasts numberless hosts of men like you and the families you raise that i decided to stay...but i in no way blame those who've left.
America is worth fighting and, yes, dying for. the promise to our posterity demands it.
yes, your main point is unfathomably important. these 'nudgers' and 'conditioners' think we're docile sheep...we are tolerant, law-abiding, civilized and open to other points of view...but sheep? bah! i am an alpha-beast; and i suspect you're something of the same. and so then, well, once things make themselves abundantly & absurdly evident (that we are under direct assault)...let's just say that janus has laid a huge bet on you quiet-types. the odds are skewed to our favor (but...shhh! don't tell anybody).
i guess the nudgers never heard the ole saw about poking a sleeping bear...it's just something one shouldn't do...and as far as ole saws go, that sure-is a sharp'n...a nudger's liable to cut themselves somethin awful on it...may lead to arterial bleeding and tetnus and even, heaven fore-fend, janusitus.
i've just started with the coffee and cigs...i''m gonna dig into youtube and find you some fitting dedications, Deerhunter.
BTW, the bucks up in these parts are MASSIVE -- i suspect it has something to do with their fattening up for the long, cold winter or some such other biologic/adaptive mechanism. whatever the case, maybe janus needs to make a trip down dixie-ways and retrieve my 30.06....oh, maybe i'll dig out the .270...naw, best save that for the 'real' game...you know, when it's open-season on -- shit, best janus shuts up with that'n.
(look, just cause janus smokes a bit of dope don't mean i don't respect those who don't...i just expect the same respect from others -- i harm no one; i tend to my affairs; i raise honorable children; i follow the law; i resist all forms of tyrrany...i don't begrudge another man his vice -- so long as he manages himself. and i bristle when the baptists and better-thans wanna tsk and tread-upon my basic liberty)
sometimes, at some times in our crazy and circuitous lives, we gotta go about reconciling things in our own particular way. lotsa movin parts in this life; and all the moreso in times such as these.
4th: here's a new song from steve earle...just incredible -- doin his best work at this point in his career:
the fact that rolling stone didn't mention this in their top albums of the year is proof-positive that something is badly broken in san fran. but, sure as shit, maclamore and lewis were spooged on every other page. what the fuck, RS? i shake my head in apoplectic shame on your sorry behalf. you owe steve a big apology (and janus!).
" I have lived the better half of my life. I have seen my country change and not for the better. We must still and always make a difference when and where we can. "
Big huge gratitude for all you do Sir WB7 and another huge barrel of grace for all everybody here does, says, and contributes to the whole for the betterment of all.
Blessings all around the House and Merry Christmas to the World!
On This Christmas, especially, I logged in, to say Merry Christmas to Zero Hedge, and I wanted to wish these words on WB7's page. Thanks to you who've made insanity normal. I anticipate an amazing year in 2014, no matter what. God Bless you all...mf'ers....
if snowden has a legacy, its that he proved we live in an age with no secrets. everything is exactly what it seems to be. money for wall street, money for terrorists to keep fighting us so we can finance the global war against them, healthcare reform which is really mandated insurance coverage (what a lie that was) . i think we owe a great deal to bush because he never believed anything he was saying, and everybody knew it. those repeated lies : the economy is recovering? wmds? obama is only different in that he thinks he has a constituency he has to answer to. (those people who voted for him as the lesser of two evils) rove rigged the election, and it didnt matter. nobody is fooling anybody. everybody knows it. red america cheats on its taxes ten times what wall street does, but for far less money. now its all out it in the open, drink it in. its a decade of bitter retribution (they) we face. but what else are we to do, just let it pass?. the gavil falls.
wb7 and the tylers and to all those gathered here- melly kalickamaka! i wish i could play you my christmas list (8 hrs premixed ... a bit of a fetish of mine) , but i'll pass you onto another expert. strike up the ol' christmas tree and hit 'play all'.... https://www.youtube.com/user/RastaClaus85?feature=watch hohoho.
The great news is that Edward Snowden will go down in history as achieving 100 times ( just a number )more than Barry O.
The youth may act and look stupid but the cream of them will use Edward's message to right things; am convinced of this. The sane amongst us must assist.
This is the end of the beginning; the old school manipulators are on their last legs as witness the blatant carefree theft and abuse.
All said and to progress matters a WB7 work hanging in every underground station, Starfucks Café etc etc would be just dandy.
Just the beginning of the end. "The most powerful people and institutions on earth" are pissin' away their legitimacy and relevance at a breakneck pace. That said, they will lash out like spoiled children at everyone and everything in trying to maintain the illusions of an age that has passed. These are perilous times. Proceed accordingly.
have always thought the central government of china had no possibility of maintaining control. a very large and ethnicaly diverse union. and yet the american union might collapse sooner, only because information and technology flows much more freely. before 9/11 there were several state separtist movements, (bush rallied the country in the first against terrorism, now a decade later the fabric of that lie has worn thin) the political institution is on the least solid ground. can the federal government of obama lash out at anyone? if we have Bitcoin how about CaCoin, or TexCoin? these are perilous times. +100
Technology is driving the world into more individualist thinking and acting. As we are increasingly able to supply our social needs without someone actually being present our collective will declines. The "idea" of America is stronger than all the absurdities we now take as normal. Large, massive populations like China will increasingly be more difficult to control. The old adage - small is best - is truer now than ever before.
oh, WildBill, i feel the flux of something strange in me -- it's burbling upwards...needs being said; i think.
probably shouldn't...but, as is my custom, i'll go ahead and say it anyway -- permitting the chips to fall where they invariably may.
i was at first gonna reciprocate brother snowden's message with something similarly sentimented. but beer #3 is now well-within me...and, again, there are things needing saying -- things that were not too long ago verboten; because they were, at the time, admittedly exaggerated and embarrasingly hyperbolic. now i appreciate such semi-crazed alarmists as seers and prophesiers.
i'm all for dissent. but when dissent takes upon itself the obligation to obliterate that which necessarily affords it the opportunity & freedom for said dissent...well, it's time to seek and destroy -- to put it bluntly.
i'm starting to think caliphate islam and international communism (plus the gay mafia) are teaming up against us...call me whatevah you like.
you swine-fucking slime will never win...or shall i word it more eloquently?
let's be clear on something, wire-pullers -- i am satan himself to you, you falsely-pious do-gooding gods of fiat. i am at war with you; i am better than you; your every play going forward exposes you to an increasingly perilous iteration of checks, checks, checks...and then, oh glory, mate -- bitch! you mutha fuckers thought that norwegian kid was some kinda chess-master; janus is better still...but he plays on a bigger board.
there are matters of privacy that we're all ignoring -- well, strangely, one in particular. then again, under the rubric of controlled dissent, maybe not so strange at all: money. are we to all somehow accept that we're to cede all sovereignty over the very thing that should represent the MOST vigilantly guarded of all privacies...money? i mean, when you cannot (and you cannot) hide, transfer and protect your hard-earned wealth, no other ancillary issue of privacy means shit. you think your video rental habits are of significant import? fuck that! they want you to think any privacy viz. money is solely for nefarious ends. i say our leaders are the ones groovin the channels of chicanery, focusing all their mammon though impossibly pernicious means such that inscrutably wicked ends may be filled to the brim with the effluvia of their abominations; such that their aims may be affected...all lubricated with illicit money. the truly terroristic kind.
but salute the fuckin flag...warren buffet is one of this world's most preeminent drug-money launderers. wonder if the patriot act applies in omaha? i wonder, warren; had you any hand in 'fast & furious'?...not that janus would know.
oh, bitchez, if i could only describe the hidden wealth in the iron-grip of some of this world's leaders...but i'm growing weary of sneaky meetings meant to politely bridle my stallion-like verve. but, trust me, the ones most anxious to expose and control every penny of your wealth are the very ones with the very most to hide.
on to other things...white america (and, yes, properly raised asians, jews, italians, irish, poles, slavs, greeks, etc...you are by janus considered 'white' america), janus has here a hint of future messages to come:
janus doesn't like to be provoked...he hates it, in point of fact. but sometimes it happens; like when i'm listening to radio or something suchlike innocent and otherwise pleasant.
and so it came to pass (my peeved displeasure blaring outta lucifer's custom buick sound-system, that is). i was trending this way to begin with, but to cement and egregiously affirm some doleful suspicions i've for a while entertained, janus was, just the other day, introduced to some of our long-established legal code and some of its more squalid sections...i'm specifically referring to the civil rights code and section seven.
you see, there were these two negroes on pubic radio (i'm now using the latin, scientific term for the peoples of sub-saharan africa...i'm flat and thinly worn trying to figure on what term or combination of terms will satisfy the negro and his paper-thin-skin...janus did all he could; and now we're back to negro (is latin now racist, tyler? please-oh-please come out and reeducate janus -- he is so retrograde...in bad need of progressivism's lethal dose...just teasin, tyler -- you stay on the road of 'good intentions' and see where it leads))...anywho, janus did but learn a few things...but first to what it affirmed.
white-middle-class-America, you are under attack. let there be no doubt about it.
we did all we could for you, less-thans; now you hate us and seek to destroy us for it? you truly do not understand the kind of people you're picking at.
we conquered the world, went a long way in civilizing it; and we will do it again if we properly interpret 'you' as the enemies you seem to be. we are a war-like people -- very civilized, but warlike and determined. but, go ahead, poke on...hate & take...see what happens.
before i get to section 7, another tune i played just the other day...bears respinnin:
and now, some kind and altruistic words a-commin from the widow's son (now well into beer 5 -- dangerous!)
okay, so, as you all know, janus don't know shit bout nuthin....but, now and again, a blind pig does root out an acorn or two.
so this is section 7, of which these negroes were evah-so proud, revealed unto janus thusly:
if a 'minority' (some are more equal than others, brothers) is in some way 'discriminated' against (for reasons you'd typically discriminate -- sloth, sloppiness, slack & and the like); and if 'you' furthermore reasonably (and most ignobly) pass-over a sloth-like slacker of the sloppiest sort for promotion, and you do so aware of his or her status as a 'protected' person (their incompetence and blundering notwithstanding) you do therewith expose yourself to the tyrrany of section 7.
you see, section 7 stipulates that any 'minority' possessing the nebulous 'qualifications' of any given position is 'entitled' to sue. not only that, but the section spells-out, in perfectly-clear leagalese, your obligation to promote the 'protected' one in spite of his or her otherwise less than savory 'virtues'...because 'protected' status trumps all other considerations.
let me fill you ZHealots in on a few things peculiar to our legal code and its idiomatic structure. laws are supreme; codes are subordinate; sections of codes lend definition and instruction as to their application. so, section 7 says that, if a 'protected' one is passed-over, he can sue (baselessly; save for the basis of his protectedness); moreover, section 7 demands that the adjudicating body presume that 'race' or other qualifying conditions favoring parasitic thinking be given deference; which is to say, the 'judge' so presiding MUST assume that race was the salient factor in his or her passing-over. placing the burden of proof on the one making the decision to promote or pass..he or she has to fuckin PROVE that the applicant's race was NOT the deciding factor...and so upon the promoter falls the immensely heavy burden of proof (big in our legal code) do you nitwits recognize what that means?
that's law. we are a people of laws. we have been captured, conned and perversely cajoled.
this is not common law...it is bolshevik machinations meant to undermine the individual's primacy.
needless to say, these negroes (though not the brightest bulbs one would hope would occupy precious radio air-space) were boundlessly proud of section 7. section 7 is fair...cause it's the law. obey, bitchez!
and some mock me for demanding a new constitution. fuck all of you. your constitution has been hi-jacked, warped & contorted, ass-wiped and rent asunder such that you will NEVER recover its spirit.
Thomas Jefferson demanded we do such in just such times....times like these.
i know some of you despise it when janus drunk-posts...but i goddam dare you to fuck with me tonight. i wield a double-edged sword -- cuts both ways; yeah, unto the very marrow. but, please, posers, i feel like being mean if you but give janus good, justifiable and savory reason.
i'm hungry for red meat...mrs. janus is late with my prime rib!
Darn Janus, your libations are pure intelligence spelled out so poetically. Thank you for speaking your truth to power so magnificently Sir.
Truly good heart, all the nations and even the Highest House are behind you. The majority are fast growing, and the evil minority fast shrinking. There is only one way for the babylonians to exit the stage with air in them still vacillating in and out.
ABSOLUTE RELEASE OF THE WORLDS DEBT. A TOTAL JUBILEE FOR ALL AND EVERY SOUL ON BOARD FOR A START.
Oh, and yes, bringing home all the USA troops, and sending home all the foreign ones is a must do also. These bankster things can end all warmongering forever if they wanted to. We all invite them do do so. We are at a balance point where they can still stop all the insanity and warmongering, or tip the hat and spill the beans all over themselves. They cannot imagine how it will be like when they become the honey to the bees swarming on them like rabid red ants.
my gratitude/your kindness -- how doth janus resolve the two?
i've come to really like you, el corezon....i also share your taste in music.
i am a man of peace; but i'd sooner be damned of God than let this nation and its peoples fall beneath the fist of tyrrany and despotism.
every many does what is right in his own sight; but, there again, it often ain't right. i more than agree, if we cannot effect an ecumenical jubileee; if the bankers stubbornly cling to their perfidy; if they fail to recognize the sin within them...well, then, damn them.
tptb, this IS the new age...your addresses are not difficult to identify (you're perilously easy to find). choose now; but choose wisely -- if, that is, you value each breath you're now accepting on credit. but, and this is a massive BUT, the extent to which we're gonna let you continue to breathe our air is nearing a most costly end.
i think the air tptb have borrowed should be fixed at a rate of 7% accruance; post dated to the birth of american fiat...that is to say, you bitchez owe us.
you steal our air, and you want to charge interest for it?
you thought the beast was from jekyll island?...well, there is a beast from georgia; but he ain't from no prissy island get-away. he's from somewhere else -- and he's here to collect. and he grows mightier by the minute:
Very surprising and very disappointing that you would praise and encourage this sort of ugly racism from Janus above. But maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention and maybe being surprised is my own fault.
miles 'ahead' (i'm assuming some 'progressive' inference there),
is it racist to suggest that all should be treated equally under the law, no matter status of birth, gender or sexual orientation? progressives preach a gospel of 'equality' which is a bold inversion of the very term -- again, some are more equal than others. it's the new aristocracy, premised on status of birth, with every imaginable advantage accorded those so fortunately born.
i tell my three sons, 'boys you betta find a way to become a black, lesbian federal employee; lest you hazard the ire of the new priesthood of progressiveism'.
you think this is some 'racist' exaggeration? no, jauns ain't the racist -- federal law is racist; the guilt-bias in society is racist; 'affrimative' action is racist...bald, rank and despicable racism.
i, for so long, thought in a similar fashion; and now i see that these leg-ups....these bestest-intentioned encouragements...have been both counterproductive and have furthermore effected a culture of enmity, hatred, contempt and envy among the negro (btw, all of islam is being conditioned in a similar fashion across europe...but that's another subject).
are there myriad examples of black men likewise contemptuous of the divisive and combative nature of america's racial dialectic? of course there are; and i salute them as men and embrace them as brothers.
however, are there not many myriads more negroes fully conditioned to hate white america; to demand inequality as a matter of birthright; are there not among them overwhelming hordes who feel more than justified in taking all you have through legal code and if necessary at the point of a gun; do they not cultivate a culture of indolence, depravity, hatred, immorality, vice, uncleanliness and utter decay? you goddam bettah believe it.
i spent 36 years in the deepest parts of the deep south. i know black culture pretty well. to say that they've been used by forces intent on collapsing america the beautiful is a sorry understatement. there is much love and many wonderful people in even the most sordid black 'community'...and i genuinely weep for them.
problem is, it's not janus who hates; it's a massive component of our population who's been taught, from the time they were old enough to tell day from night, that their plight has been befouled by the evil white man...and that whitey has done, and will continue to do, all within his power to keep you down.
the solution isn't easy. we could begin by restoring equality in our codified statues, codes and laws...but still, there exists within the greater sweep of 'black' america an animus; it is angry and seeks retribution against all that is 'white' -- the asians, greeks, jews, etc. properly raised...brought up to believe that hard work, disipline, devotion to family and the like are of some merit (cwazy as that sounds)...are likewise listed in the negro's book of 'opressers' (notice how they always attack asian marts first, when the riots they itch for finally arrive). black america has been taught other lessons.
so, is janus a racist? i know that i am not.
is janus a 'culturalist'? he most certainly is.
and i am well-past disgusted with insolent racism blasted in my face on a regular basis; and then being told i'm the racist for my failure to 'progressively' invert common terms in our language.
all of which is to say, fuck you. miles ahead, your reign of thuggish newspeak is at an end.
time for negroes to become black men; and to do it on their own...in much the same way have the irish, the italians, the poles, the greeks, the asians, the jews...but no, miles ahead, the plight of the negro is all my fault...your's, too -- you white devil.
i wash my hands of the negro...either develop a productive and virtuous culture yourself or turn your every burg, bourough, and block into another permutation of the putrifaction in camden, detriot, jackson, montgomery...i could go on.
it ain't my fault; and i don't care anymore.
america is more important than coddling the every whim of a petulant and peeved 'protected' class.
i'm so goddam racist that i demand an end to ALL protected classes...the only 'protected' should be the single individual -- treated equally, under the law.
i'd be more than happy to continue this discussion with you, miles ahead...but something tells me you haven't the stones -- 'progressives' have lots of bluster, moralizing, do-goodery and the like, but, sadly, stones they haven't but any.
maybe you shouldn't be paying so much attention to politically correct policing (nice to see you've taken on the role of deputy barny fife round these parts...you're doing a bang-up job, deputy...now go and see if sherrif andy will give you that bullet for your pea-shooter...you know, so's you can take down lil ole janus)...maybe you should make a valid argument...maybe you should rise above base techniques like name calling and guilt peddling.
I don't know what gives you the idea that virtual Air Jordans are praise or endorsement.
But they certainly have become a metaphor or form of social commentary in their own rite, along with Walmart riots and mall shootings.
It's not pretty, but that is how it looks.
You may also ask yourself why my comment threads are relatively free of hardcore racist, mysogynistic and/or xenophobic diatribes.
Let me assure you it is no accident.
Nevertheless, there is a point where political correctness becomes a form of intellectual fascism. The precise point is difficult to pinpoint. But the phenomena is readily discernable.
And in my humble opinion, Janus' Title VII rant (his first such rant) is as good an example as any.
you and i goes back a ways on these-here pages...and seein how janus doesn't like to get all emotionally-gooey, and further understanding that i don't often go outta my way to affirm friendships, it goes without saying that i should -- at certain and various times -- do just such: tis the season, in other words.
WB, janus values you as a cyber-friend. i'd love to meet you someday. you know i love your work; and i'm always satisfied that you take the time to try and see-through what i'm writing to get a better sense of what i'm saying.
maybe, when circumstances are fertile for an adventurous enterprise, maybe then you and i'll go cover some major event...if you'll recall, way back when, i was thinkin burnin man...but now, i reckon there's conflagrations bigger still; flames of chaos stoked abroad to fire the cauldrons of hatred, fear and divisiveness.
i do believe i had a name for it, too -- BanziJournalism.
so now, as i enjoy the first few moments of peace & quiet after the storm of xmas passes, i'll conjure some songs, sip slowly on a beer, roll a few cigs, and come up with a few proper dedications for you, my cyber-brother.
i'm into water shoes, Speedos has a good one, wear them in the rain, whatever. they're about $15 a pair, the ones with individual toe digits are a bit more expensive. and nobody in the hood will shoot you for a pair of these.
Brotha, I read (present tense) every word you write. Yeah, I skorry the difference btwn law and code, but the judges don't give a shit. I know. You are without major fault in your musings, but I humbly ask you to consider Thomas Sowell. He is probably the exception that proves the rule, but he exists, nonetheless.
i agree more than i can state sufficently in so short a space...and to sowell i could add scads and scads of noble, virtuous Black Men.
but, alas, sometimes points must be made; and i truly regret that i at times must hurt the feelings of individuals to make a point about the groups to which they belong.
hell, i'll let one of the finest Black Men in America do my speakin for me:
Not exactly correct. President Obama pushed for a better medical system than was currently in place i.e., millions of people without coverage and little hope of getting it, CEO's of the health care industry making inordinately huge salaries etc, and advocated for a more egalitarian approach to solving the problem.
Congress delivered a mutilated child as the teabaggers were debating the merits of death panels and trying to figure out which bozo would be the better candidate for their next run at the whitehouse - Cain or Perry or...
The system in place now has the bones for improving it to be a better system that what was before. Just need to get fix up the branch of governement that actually passes the laws.
Pincus was born into a Jewish family[13] in Chicago and raised in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. He is the son of Theodore Pincus,[14] a business columnist and public relations adviser to CEOs and politicians,[15] and an architect mother.[16] He attended Francis W. Parker School from kindergarten through 12th grade and graduated in 1984.[17]
oh, pardon me, colonel...didn't notice your post when first i read WildBill's...yup, it's pinkus all-right. not so sure it's jewishness, just gutter-swill commonness to blame.
pinkus has no will of his own...he's been conditioned. it's always possible that some may transcend.
yes, blood is thicker than water...but in the end, only water sustains.
maybe he should seek after living waters.
afterall, thickness is a qualitative factor -- but that in no wise implies 'quality'. btw, water has a boiling point; that's a qualatative factor, too...sometimes it assumes a charecter unfavorable for those so glued-together by blood.
but, all the same, my blood is starting to boil...i cannot decided if it's a matter of quality or quantity.
I did not realize - until now - how chilling these lyrics are if you only use Barak Obama instead of Santa Claus:
"Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town"
You better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town Santa Claus is coming to town Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list, Checking it twice; Gonna find out who's naughty or nice. Santa Claus is coming to town Santa Claus is coming to town Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're awake He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake
With little tin horns and little toy drums Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums Santa Claus is coming to town Santa Claus is coming to town Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're awake He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake Goodness sake
You better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town Santa Claus is coming to town Santa Claus is coming Santa Claus is coming Santa Claus is coming to town

A federal judge has ruled has ruled that NSA spying is likely illegal in that it violates The Constitution.
If a federal judge believes that NSA spying "likely" qualifies as a crime, then exposing the criminals was the appropriate course of action, NOT A CRIME BUT AN OBLIGATION.
In the end, history will record Edward Snowden as a patriot.
AND magically in short order another judge decided the opposite.
Isn't that convenient.
He already is in my mind.
America, is it a thought or is it a place? Is it a nation founded in blood, sweat, mistakes, corrections, anticapations of better days to come?

WB7, keep on and never give up your pen. Happy New Year to all who venture here.
Deerhunter,
absolutely loved your post.
you are what makes america America.
it is explicitly because this nation still boasts numberless hosts of men like you and the families you raise that i decided to stay...but i in no way blame those who've left.
America is worth fighting and, yes, dying for. the promise to our posterity demands it.
yes, your main point is unfathomably important. these 'nudgers' and 'conditioners' think we're docile sheep...we are tolerant, law-abiding, civilized and open to other points of view...but sheep? bah! i am an alpha-beast; and i suspect you're something of the same. and so then, well, once things make themselves abundantly & absurdly evident (that we are under direct assault)...let's just say that janus has laid a huge bet on you quiet-types. the odds are skewed to our favor (but...shhh! don't tell anybody).
i guess the nudgers never heard the ole saw about poking a sleeping bear...it's just something one shouldn't do...and as far as ole saws go, that sure-is a sharp'n...a nudger's liable to cut themselves somethin awful on it...may lead to arterial bleeding and tetnus and even, heaven fore-fend, janusitus.
i've just started with the coffee and cigs...i''m gonna dig into youtube and find you some fitting dedications, Deerhunter.
BTW, the bucks up in these parts are MASSIVE -- i suspect it has something to do with their fattening up for the long, cold winter or some such other biologic/adaptive mechanism. whatever the case, maybe janus needs to make a trip down dixie-ways and retrieve my 30.06....oh, maybe i'll dig out the .270...naw, best save that for the 'real' game...you know, when it's open-season on -- shit, best janus shuts up with that'n.

Amen
Merry Christmas to you as well...
"Initiative come to thems that waits."
Thank you for teaching all of yours how to survive and how to respect others. Have a joyous New Year with your family.
Amazing..... WB7
Big huge gratitude for all you do Sir WB7 and another huge barrel of grace for all everybody here does, says, and contributes to the whole for the betterment of all.
Blessings all around the House and Merry Christmas to the World!
Backdoor Barry is a doomsday weapon.
It's Target: America.
On This Christmas, especially, I logged in, to say Merry Christmas to Zero Hedge, and I wanted to wish these words on WB7's page. Thanks to you who've made insanity normal. I anticipate an amazing year in 2014, no matter what. God Bless you all...mf'ers....
Well I must say that is a welcome change from "Bitchez" which did wear out it's welcome in my book.
if snowden has a legacy, its that he proved we live in an age with no secrets. everything is exactly what it seems to be. money for wall street, money for terrorists to keep fighting us so we can finance the global war against them, healthcare reform which is really mandated insurance coverage (what a lie that was) . i think we owe a great deal to bush because he never believed anything he was saying, and everybody knew it. those repeated lies : the economy is recovering? wmds? obama is only different in that he thinks he has a constituency he has to answer to. (those people who voted for him as the lesser of two evils) rove rigged the election, and it didnt matter. nobody is fooling anybody. everybody knows it. red america cheats on its taxes ten times what wall street does, but for far less money. now its all out it in the open, drink it in. its a decade of bitter retribution (they) we face. but what else are we to do, just let it pass?. the gavil falls.
Now would be the optimum time for a Chinese first strike on Kailua. Merry Christmas and never give up!
Make it an asteroid strike as then no fake war would ensue
wb7 and the tylers and to all those gathered here- melly kalickamaka! i wish i could play you my christmas list (8 hrs premixed ... a bit of a fetish of mine) , but i'll pass you onto another expert. strike up the ol' christmas tree and hit 'play all'.... https://www.youtube.com/user/RastaClaus85?feature=watch hohoho.
The great news is that Edward Snowden will go down in history as achieving 100 times ( just a number )more than Barry O.
The youth may act and look stupid but the cream of them will use Edward's message to right things; am convinced of this. The sane amongst us must assist.
This is the end of the beginning; the old school manipulators are on their last legs as witness the blatant carefree theft and abuse.
All said and to progress matters a WB7 work hanging in every underground station, Starfucks Café etc etc would be just dandy.
Just the beginning of the end. "The most powerful people and institutions on earth" are pissin' away their legitimacy and relevance at a breakneck pace. That said, they will lash out like spoiled children at everyone and everything in trying to maintain the illusions of an age that has passed. These are perilous times. Proceed accordingly.
have always thought the central government of china had no possibility of maintaining control. a very large and ethnicaly diverse union. and yet the american union might collapse sooner, only because information and technology flows much more freely. before 9/11 there were several state separtist movements, (bush rallied the country in the first against terrorism, now a decade later the fabric of that lie has worn thin) the political institution is on the least solid ground. can the federal government of obama lash out at anyone? if we have Bitcoin how about CaCoin, or TexCoin? these are perilous times. +100
Technology is driving the world into more individualist thinking and acting. As we are increasingly able to supply our social needs without someone actually being present our collective will declines. The "idea" of America is stronger than all the absurdities we now take as normal. Large, massive populations like China will increasingly be more difficult to control. The old adage - small is best - is truer now than ever before.
oh, WildBill, i feel the flux of something strange in me -- it's burbling upwards...needs being said; i think.
probably shouldn't...but, as is my custom, i'll go ahead and say it anyway -- permitting the chips to fall where they invariably may.
i was at first gonna reciprocate brother snowden's message with something similarly sentimented. but beer #3 is now well-within me...and, again, there are things needing saying -- things that were not too long ago verboten; because they were, at the time, admittedly exaggerated and embarrasingly hyperbolic. now i appreciate such semi-crazed alarmists as seers and prophesiers.
i'm all for dissent. but when dissent takes upon itself the obligation to obliterate that which necessarily affords it the opportunity & freedom for said dissent...well, it's time to seek and destroy -- to put it bluntly.
i'm starting to think caliphate islam and international communism (plus the gay mafia) are teaming up against us...call me whatevah you like.
you swine-fucking slime will never win...or shall i word it more eloquently?
first a song for snowden:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aba1dVLVSFg
Merry Christmas, Edward! From janus & Ezra Pound.
CONTRA NATURAM! may God damn them! (and He Will; oh bruthahs, He so mightily Will)
let's set the tone with some kid rock:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAY3liSnSrk&list=PL00AFB544771DD565
let's be clear on something, wire-pullers -- i am satan himself to you, you falsely-pious do-gooding gods of fiat. i am at war with you; i am better than you; your every play going forward exposes you to an increasingly perilous iteration of checks, checks, checks...and then, oh glory, mate -- bitch! you mutha fuckers thought that norwegian kid was some kinda chess-master; janus is better still...but he plays on a bigger board.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy39Uocw8LU&list=PL00AFB544771DD565
there are matters of privacy that we're all ignoring -- well, strangely, one in particular. then again, under the rubric of controlled dissent, maybe not so strange at all: money. are we to all somehow accept that we're to cede all sovereignty over the very thing that should represent the MOST vigilantly guarded of all privacies...money? i mean, when you cannot (and you cannot) hide, transfer and protect your hard-earned wealth, no other ancillary issue of privacy means shit. you think your video rental habits are of significant import? fuck that! they want you to think any privacy viz. money is solely for nefarious ends. i say our leaders are the ones groovin the channels of chicanery, focusing all their mammon though impossibly pernicious means such that inscrutably wicked ends may be filled to the brim with the effluvia of their abominations; such that their aims may be affected...all lubricated with illicit money. the truly terroristic kind.
but salute the fuckin flag...warren buffet is one of this world's most preeminent drug-money launderers. wonder if the patriot act applies in omaha? i wonder, warren; had you any hand in 'fast & furious'?...not that janus would know.
oh, bitchez, if i could only describe the hidden wealth in the iron-grip of some of this world's leaders...but i'm growing weary of sneaky meetings meant to politely bridle my stallion-like verve. but, trust me, the ones most anxious to expose and control every penny of your wealth are the very ones with the very most to hide.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TuZf1j7LdQ
on to other things...white america (and, yes, properly raised asians, jews, italians, irish, poles, slavs, greeks, etc...you are by janus considered 'white' america), janus has here a hint of future messages to come:
janus doesn't like to be provoked...he hates it, in point of fact. but sometimes it happens; like when i'm listening to radio or something suchlike innocent and otherwise pleasant.
and so it came to pass (my peeved displeasure blaring outta lucifer's custom buick sound-system, that is). i was trending this way to begin with, but to cement and egregiously affirm some doleful suspicions i've for a while entertained, janus was, just the other day, introduced to some of our long-established legal code and some of its more squalid sections...i'm specifically referring to the civil rights code and section seven.
you see, there were these two negroes on pubic radio (i'm now using the latin, scientific term for the peoples of sub-saharan africa...i'm flat and thinly worn trying to figure on what term or combination of terms will satisfy the negro and his paper-thin-skin...janus did all he could; and now we're back to negro (is latin now racist, tyler? please-oh-please come out and reeducate janus -- he is so retrograde...in bad need of progressivism's lethal dose...just teasin, tyler -- you stay on the road of 'good intentions' and see where it leads))...anywho, janus did but learn a few things...but first to what it affirmed.
white-middle-class-America, you are under attack. let there be no doubt about it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DavdKjepuQg
we did all we could for you, less-thans; now you hate us and seek to destroy us for it? you truly do not understand the kind of people you're picking at.
we conquered the world, went a long way in civilizing it; and we will do it again if we properly interpret 'you' as the enemies you seem to be. we are a war-like people -- very civilized, but warlike and determined. but, go ahead, poke on...hate & take...see what happens.
before i get to section 7, another tune i played just the other day...bears respinnin:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jeg-jT7MnEs
and now, some kind and altruistic words a-commin from the widow's son (now well into beer 5 -- dangerous!)
okay, so, as you all know, janus don't know shit bout nuthin....but, now and again, a blind pig does root out an acorn or two.
so this is section 7, of which these negroes were evah-so proud, revealed unto janus thusly:
if a 'minority' (some are more equal than others, brothers) is in some way 'discriminated' against (for reasons you'd typically discriminate -- sloth, sloppiness, slack & and the like); and if 'you' furthermore reasonably (and most ignobly) pass-over a sloth-like slacker of the sloppiest sort for promotion, and you do so aware of his or her status as a 'protected' person (their incompetence and blundering notwithstanding) you do therewith expose yourself to the tyrrany of section 7.
you see, section 7 stipulates that any 'minority' possessing the nebulous 'qualifications' of any given position is 'entitled' to sue. not only that, but the section spells-out, in perfectly-clear leagalese, your obligation to promote the 'protected' one in spite of his or her otherwise less than savory 'virtues'...because 'protected' status trumps all other considerations.
let me fill you ZHealots in on a few things peculiar to our legal code and its idiomatic structure. laws are supreme; codes are subordinate; sections of codes lend definition and instruction as to their application. so, section 7 says that, if a 'protected' one is passed-over, he can sue (baselessly; save for the basis of his protectedness); moreover, section 7 demands that the adjudicating body presume that 'race' or other qualifying conditions favoring parasitic thinking be given deference; which is to say, the 'judge' so presiding MUST assume that race was the salient factor in his or her passing-over. placing the burden of proof on the one making the decision to promote or pass..he or she has to fuckin PROVE that the applicant's race was NOT the deciding factor...and so upon the promoter falls the immensely heavy burden of proof (big in our legal code) do you nitwits recognize what that means?
that's law. we are a people of laws. we have been captured, conned and perversely cajoled.
this is not common law...it is bolshevik machinations meant to undermine the individual's primacy.
needless to say, these negroes (though not the brightest bulbs one would hope would occupy precious radio air-space) were boundlessly proud of section 7. section 7 is fair...cause it's the law. obey, bitchez!
and some mock me for demanding a new constitution. fuck all of you. your constitution has been hi-jacked, warped & contorted, ass-wiped and rent asunder such that you will NEVER recover its spirit.
Thomas Jefferson demanded we do such in just such times....times like these.
TJ, janus is at your service.
all your light -- in times like these, TJ.

Darn Janus, your libations are pure intelligence spelled out so poetically. Thank you for speaking your truth to power so magnificently Sir.
Truly good heart, all the nations and even the Highest House are behind you. The majority are fast growing, and the evil minority fast shrinking. There is only one way for the babylonians to exit the stage with air in them still vacillating in and out.
ABSOLUTE RELEASE OF THE WORLDS DEBT. A TOTAL JUBILEE FOR ALL AND EVERY SOUL ON BOARD FOR A START.
Oh, and yes, bringing home all the USA troops, and sending home all the foreign ones is a must do also. These bankster things can end all warmongering forever if they wanted to. We all invite them do do so. We are at a balance point where they can still stop all the insanity and warmongering, or tip the hat and spill the beans all over themselves. They cannot imagine how it will be like when they become the honey to the bees swarming on them like rabid red ants.

my gratitude/your kindness -- how doth janus resolve the two?
i've come to really like you, el corezon....i also share your taste in music.
i am a man of peace; but i'd sooner be damned of God than let this nation and its peoples fall beneath the fist of tyrrany and despotism.
every many does what is right in his own sight; but, there again, it often ain't right. i more than agree, if we cannot effect an ecumenical jubileee; if the bankers stubbornly cling to their perfidy; if they fail to recognize the sin within them...well, then, damn them.
tptb, this IS the new age...your addresses are not difficult to identify (you're perilously easy to find). choose now; but choose wisely -- if, that is, you value each breath you're now accepting on credit. but, and this is a massive BUT, the extent to which we're gonna let you continue to breathe our air is nearing a most costly end.
i think the air tptb have borrowed should be fixed at a rate of 7% accruance; post dated to the birth of american fiat...that is to say, you bitchez owe us.
you steal our air, and you want to charge interest for it?
you thought the beast was from jekyll island?...well, there is a beast from georgia; but he ain't from no prissy island get-away. he's from somewhere else -- and he's here to collect. and he grows mightier by the minute:

Libations?????
Huh? eggnog? scotch and soda? straight whiskey?
Somebody give this man a brand new pair of Air Jordans...In fact, Air Jordans all around!
I can't decide whether we should change the name of the country to Walmartica or Air Jordania.
Very surprising and very disappointing that you would praise and encourage this sort of ugly racism from Janus above. But maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention and maybe being surprised is my own fault.
I thought better of you.
miles 'ahead' (i'm assuming some 'progressive' inference there),
is it racist to suggest that all should be treated equally under the law, no matter status of birth, gender or sexual orientation? progressives preach a gospel of 'equality' which is a bold inversion of the very term -- again, some are more equal than others. it's the new aristocracy, premised on status of birth, with every imaginable advantage accorded those so fortunately born.
i tell my three sons, 'boys you betta find a way to become a black, lesbian federal employee; lest you hazard the ire of the new priesthood of progressiveism'.
you think this is some 'racist' exaggeration? no, jauns ain't the racist -- federal law is racist; the guilt-bias in society is racist; 'affrimative' action is racist...bald, rank and despicable racism.
i, for so long, thought in a similar fashion; and now i see that these leg-ups....these bestest-intentioned encouragements...have been both counterproductive and have furthermore effected a culture of enmity, hatred, contempt and envy among the negro (btw, all of islam is being conditioned in a similar fashion across europe...but that's another subject).
are there myriad examples of black men likewise contemptuous of the divisive and combative nature of america's racial dialectic? of course there are; and i salute them as men and embrace them as brothers.
however, are there not many myriads more negroes fully conditioned to hate white america; to demand inequality as a matter of birthright; are there not among them overwhelming hordes who feel more than justified in taking all you have through legal code and if necessary at the point of a gun; do they not cultivate a culture of indolence, depravity, hatred, immorality, vice, uncleanliness and utter decay? you goddam bettah believe it.
i spent 36 years in the deepest parts of the deep south. i know black culture pretty well. to say that they've been used by forces intent on collapsing america the beautiful is a sorry understatement. there is much love and many wonderful people in even the most sordid black 'community'...and i genuinely weep for them.
problem is, it's not janus who hates; it's a massive component of our population who's been taught, from the time they were old enough to tell day from night, that their plight has been befouled by the evil white man...and that whitey has done, and will continue to do, all within his power to keep you down.
the solution isn't easy. we could begin by restoring equality in our codified statues, codes and laws...but still, there exists within the greater sweep of 'black' america an animus; it is angry and seeks retribution against all that is 'white' -- the asians, greeks, jews, etc. properly raised...brought up to believe that hard work, disipline, devotion to family and the like are of some merit (cwazy as that sounds)...are likewise listed in the negro's book of 'opressers' (notice how they always attack asian marts first, when the riots they itch for finally arrive). black america has been taught other lessons.
so, is janus a racist? i know that i am not.
is janus a 'culturalist'? he most certainly is.
and i am well-past disgusted with insolent racism blasted in my face on a regular basis; and then being told i'm the racist for my failure to 'progressively' invert common terms in our language.
all of which is to say, fuck you. miles ahead, your reign of thuggish newspeak is at an end.
time for negroes to become black men; and to do it on their own...in much the same way have the irish, the italians, the poles, the greeks, the asians, the jews...but no, miles ahead, the plight of the negro is all my fault...your's, too -- you white devil.
i wash my hands of the negro...either develop a productive and virtuous culture yourself or turn your every burg, bourough, and block into another permutation of the putrifaction in camden, detriot, jackson, montgomery...i could go on.
it ain't my fault; and i don't care anymore.
america is more important than coddling the every whim of a petulant and peeved 'protected' class.
i'm so goddam racist that i demand an end to ALL protected classes...the only 'protected' should be the single individual -- treated equally, under the law.
i'd be more than happy to continue this discussion with you, miles ahead...but something tells me you haven't the stones -- 'progressives' have lots of bluster, moralizing, do-goodery and the like, but, sadly, stones they haven't but any.
maybe you shouldn't be paying so much attention to politically correct policing (nice to see you've taken on the role of deputy barny fife round these parts...you're doing a bang-up job, deputy...now go and see if sherrif andy will give you that bullet for your pea-shooter...you know, so's you can take down lil ole janus)...maybe you should make a valid argument...maybe you should rise above base techniques like name calling and guilt peddling.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLsg0EvZozI oh, deputy fife, tell all your nitwit fellow-travelers that janus don't go down easy.

Either doG has one fucked up sense of humor or the top monkeys are fucked up beyond all belief.
Shit happens, then you die.
I don't know what gives you the idea that virtual Air Jordans are praise or endorsement.
But they certainly have become a metaphor or form of social commentary in their own rite, along with Walmart riots and mall shootings.
It's not pretty, but that is how it looks.
You may also ask yourself why my comment threads are relatively free of hardcore racist, mysogynistic and/or xenophobic diatribes.
Let me assure you it is no accident.
Nevertheless, there is a point where political correctness becomes a form of intellectual fascism. The precise point is difficult to pinpoint. But the phenomena is readily discernable.
And in my humble opinion, Janus' Title VII rant (his first such rant) is as good an example as any.
WildBill,
you and i goes back a ways on these-here pages...and seein how janus doesn't like to get all emotionally-gooey, and further understanding that i don't often go outta my way to affirm friendships, it goes without saying that i should -- at certain and various times -- do just such: tis the season, in other words.
WB, janus values you as a cyber-friend. i'd love to meet you someday. you know i love your work; and i'm always satisfied that you take the time to try and see-through what i'm writing to get a better sense of what i'm saying.
maybe, when circumstances are fertile for an adventurous enterprise, maybe then you and i'll go cover some major event...if you'll recall, way back when, i was thinkin burnin man...but now, i reckon there's conflagrations bigger still; flames of chaos stoked abroad to fire the cauldrons of hatred, fear and divisiveness.
i do believe i had a name for it, too -- BanziJournalism.
so now, as i enjoy the first few moments of peace & quiet after the storm of xmas passes, i'll conjure some songs, sip slowly on a beer, roll a few cigs, and come up with a few proper dedications for you, my cyber-brother.

Ah yes, but which country? All of the so-called "western" states seem to have been consumed by consumerism. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29RnY0H7cj4
Oh, I'm partial to TEVA, Crocs, New Balance and Justin. Yeah, I'm a consumer, but I'm also a producer. Does that make me evil? It seems so.
Brotha, I read (present tense) every word you write. Yeah, I skorry the difference btwn law and code, but the judges don't give a shit. I know. You are without major fault in your musings, but I humbly ask you to consider Thomas Sowell. He is probably the exception that proves the rule, but he exists, nonetheless.
Brother,
i agree more than i can state sufficently in so short a space...and to sowell i could add scads and scads of noble, virtuous Black Men.
but, alas, sometimes points must be made; and i truly regret that i at times must hurt the feelings of individuals to make a point about the groups to which they belong.
hell, i'll let one of the finest Black Men in America do my speakin for me:

Barrack Hussein Obozo, the Grinch that stole your Healthcare Insurance Plan.
Not exactly correct. President Obama pushed for a better medical system than was currently in place i.e., millions of people without coverage and little hope of getting it, CEO's of the health care industry making inordinately huge salaries etc, and advocated for a more egalitarian approach to solving the problem.
Congress delivered a mutilated child as the teabaggers were debating the merits of death panels and trying to figure out which bozo would be the better candidate for their next run at the whitehouse - Cain or Perry or...
The system in place now has the bones for improving it to be a better system that what was before. Just need to get fix up the branch of governement that actually passes the laws.
Sure looks like you forgot your /sarc tag.

ENOUGH READ! He can die in a fire as far as I'm concerned. Part of the problem, not part of any solution. Created a useless gaming company.
oh, pardon me, colonel...didn't notice your post when first i read WildBill's...yup, it's pinkus all-right. not so sure it's jewishness, just gutter-swill commonness to blame.
pinkus has no will of his own...he's been conditioned. it's always possible that some may transcend.
yes, blood is thicker than water...but in the end, only water sustains.
maybe he should seek after living waters.
afterall, thickness is a qualitative factor -- but that in no wise implies 'quality'. btw, water has a boiling point; that's a qualatative factor, too...sometimes it assumes a charecter unfavorable for those so glued-together by blood.
but, all the same, my blood is starting to boil...i cannot decided if it's a matter of quality or quantity.
my guess is some combo of the two:

At the tech honcho meeting last week, the Zynga CEO asked him why not pardon Snowden. Too which the douche bag replied we can't do that.
So they can let Wall Street fuck us all up the ass but they can't let Snowden blow the whistle on crimes against the constitution.
The Zynga CEO, big fucking deal right? Except that he was apparently a big time fund raiser for Obozo.
Obviously not an exact comparison but I think there are similarities.
The Jewish leadership had the choice to free Barabbas, a known murderer, and Jesus.
Our government overlooks crimes committed by people like Corzine and and goes after people that are trying to protect the rights of the people.
am i wrong, or is that pinkus?
pinkus is where he is for a reason; and it's only half to do with talent.
don't expect too much from the pinkuses...they were led in on leashes, and they can likewise be jerked-back by the same.
i remember well his vanity fair profile...feet propped-up confident-like on a glass-top table, overlooking the lower east-side.
grow some real balls or go home, pinkus...twitter-masters and the like, you included. are you zuckerbergs or are you men?

all the women call him tree-top lover/
all the men just call him sir/
and he's bad, bad-janus-white/
baddest man in the whole damn town/
badder than ole king-kong/
meaner than a junk-yard dog,

Would you even remotely trust a company that mooches off the very existence of fecesbook?
It's called meta-parasitism in the jargon.
I did not realize - until now - how chilling these lyrics are if you only use Barak Obama instead of Santa Claus:
"Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town"
You better watch outYou better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list,
Checking it twice;
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Goodness sake
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town
....is coming to town....
and YOU are going to a FEMA camp where you will learn to LOVE being 'nice'
We don't have to drain the pool. All the shit is floating at the top.
