beginning to think the economic crash is like WW2, everyone knew it was coming, and no one could stop it. based on a previous unresolved conflict, an unfair treaty, and some (fascist) economies which wanted to grow but were being stifled by unfair trade policy. (party like its 1939!)
WW2 was a collective breakdown in social order, brought on by the depression, by D Day the Allies had marketed the solution in terms of good and evil. and after the coming economic breakdown (economic WW3) the response (against the bitcoin makers) will be a new economic cold war, which is struggle over the right to access (and control) markets. so i guess the shit is just beginning. the bitcoin makers will be villified as evil, defeated, and their methods will be gradually absorbed into the global currency policy, just as the fascists set the tone for the next 100 years, too bad they didn't get to enjoy it.
GERUDA -- "Billy, I managed to slip away from my handlers and I want to say that I really love your work.....o crap, gotta go -- NO, BOSS, I was busy junking subversive wb7 again, honest!"
Thank you William for a year of great work. Thank you to everyone else for their fine stewardship of the concept of being a contrarian.
I think we all get our blood pressure up from time to time. I found something that greatly lowers mine and it is called Chakra. I feel like I am the last to know of this but obviously I am not because we have Obamacare starting in a few minutes. Now I will have to go back and start over because Obama and .gov and .bank and grrrrrrr.
At any rate, as the new year is here, perhaps we should always consider something new that is actually ancient. Some of you will find this practice interesting and others will not, at least until tomorrow morning when you head is resonating.:-) If you are quittng smoking, it helps.
I cannot recommend highly enough becoming familiar with the Tibetan Book of the Dead. It should be read quietly and carefully, not for entertainment but because it states what is. From the perspective of a people who had thousands of years to simply observe what is inside of people. It might take a few times......you know.....but add it to your frame of reference.
I once read it out loud to someone who became suicidal on the anniversary of her husband's death each year. We spent three evenings just reading it to her.
Yes, the book seems to represent a deep insight into the nature of our existance. Even levitation along a spiritual axis is explained in layman's terms, along with other precepts of arcane knowledge.
No more mushey 2013 mantras'. May your Mothers soul live in everlasting peace, and give you the continued strength that's required in an ever-changing artistic canvas.
I've the deepest respect for your feelings Billy-7. You're no-where close to the pinnacle of your talents.
That is why we excel at every thing we do.
The best pieces of art you ever commision, will be based on a young mans late night art.
Thank you for your years of contribution. It's been a great 2013, and your creative genius is always appreciated. I hope that 2014 treats you well William.
The Sphinxer has won. Wrong face on the Berg. He's sailing off to Ports Unknown sorry to say with the rest of us to ponder the Remains of the Day. And that's the SS Detroit that hit that thing...and no "it wasn't an accident." Nor will the SS Illinois or SS Puerto Rico "just happen to happen" either if that's what's next. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWkCTxOMgs0
Notice how quickly the political system pushes a major American city into insolvency so that billionaire bankers can cannibalize and suck out its remaining marrow.
In contrast, five years after the crash of Lehman Brothers, the insolvent Wall Street banks are still being kept alive with public-backed life support.
The 1% are stepping up their offensive in the class war.
Those cities are held insolvent, pretending they're not, for quite some time before finally everyone turns around and says "yup, you're fucked. Time to sell for a penny on the dollar to the nearest... squid... just happenstancely nearby. Pure coincidence"
i have to admit to you guys, i find myself coming to zh more often for the comments than for the news, so in my eyes you are all tylers. it's a shame we have to meet under those circumstances of a flat webpage on a computer screen, but it's more than enough to tap into this vast pool of insight you all provide. i long for the time when we all could enjoy the liberty and freedom in the physical world that this community represents in its sentiment.
i wish you all that 2014 would bring us closer to achieving this, even though it has to get much worse before it gets any better. happy new year, fight club!
laydog, just staggering in from the bonfire, (hot, wet, and slow, MAMA~!) but ahm, tell em they gotta bring some ass to get some ass! My apologies to those in ear/eye shot, i won the focking war on Independence Day/Night, my cousins and their more than understanding hens went on to bed, do not tell on our girl, but she did too! BUT, ANYHOW, i kicked ass on the whole fargin rivah, this here creek may have staggered, but our last of the last of those illegal arse last SC Fireworks, from this crossing, did lay out the last shot o'er the mighty ol rivah. Nothing for New Years, only cause I knew thay were CONKERD!
Maybe we should rename the googolplex the snowdenplex.....or the tylerplex....just sayin'...Googs doesn't deserve even a misspelled eternal numeric reference....
Obama is going to move the fascist agenda forward in a way that no Republican could; it's intentional, and his entire presidency has been a deception. I wish I could say this was fixable, but Americans won't shut off their televisions and stop voting for the duopoly until it is too late.
That's the beauty of tag-team kleptocracy: the good cop accomplishes what the bad cop can only set-up. With the affluent liberals and disenfranchised silenced, the media rattling the cage of the rabid lemmings; it ain't a show without sides, is it?
Not all of us, and probalby not the ignorant masses who as usual are too ignorant to know better, but the top floaters are definitely marching the corporatist goose step.
And upon further examination, you will find that the Nazis (Goebbels and Hitler for example) actually wanted to emulate facets of our own power elite, styled in their own fashion.

Thank you for that thought.
Coincidently, Mom was born in the year 1929. She is out there watching over all of us.
Best to you for the New Year
A Toast to William's Mom:
May her Star continue to shine through the clouds no matter how dark.
At the end of the day, the movie fight club was produced by an agent of mossad. So Tylers of the world, what is the bottom line?
Here's up yer, YC. Keep us advised as to the lunatic wanderings of the FX epiphenomena.
Thank you for your years of contribution. It's been a great 2013, and your creative genius is always appreciated. I hope that 2014 treats you well William.
And you as well...
Happy New Year!
Looks like Lloyd and Jamie have each popped a droner.
Best wishes, all, for a better 2014.
Don't know how you do it WB7. There's just so much material to work with and you can't make this shit up. Expect 2014 to be bullish for bullshit.
All BS aside, briar patch or fire, or deep, deep water?
I'll take the Insidiousness of the Briar Patch for a 1000 Alex.
2014=20132
Cheers WB7 to you and your work.
Happy New year to you g'kar

Socialism for the wealthy capitalism for the poor.
depends what you mean by "quickly".

is Amerika marching to Nazi Germany's drumbeat?

Good cop bad cop is a good way to put it.
And in response, I say: be water my friend...
Not all of us, and probalby not the ignorant masses who as usual are too ignorant to know better, but the top floaters are definitely marching the corporatist goose step.

Good stuff Mr Banzai :)
