The father of this pleasant grandfather, of the neighbourhood of Mount Pleasant, was a horny-skinned, two-legged, money-getting species of spider who spun webs to catch unwary flies and retired into holes until they were entrapped. The name of this old pagan's god was Compound Interest.--Charles Dickens

DEBTOR IN POSEIDON
Plato's spawn cold ivyed eyes
Snare truth in bone and globe.
Harlequins coin pointless games
Sneer jokes in Fiat's robe.
Two women weep, dame scarlet screen
Sheds sudden usurious rain,
Whilst dark in dream the austerity queen
Knows every human pain.
[King Crimson--Wake Of Poseidon
Modified lyrics by WilliamBanzai7]
"Credit is a system whereby a person who cannot pay gets another person who cannot pay to guarantee that he can pay."--Charles Dickens

I like the Public Be Damned picture; I fell into a kind of rapture studying the faces of the insiders, the manipulators, the stock jobbers; they are soo smug. Soo self-satisfied; they know they don't have any problem and they know you're going to have plenty of problems; and that's just the way they like it.
"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery." Mr. Micawber, David Copperfield
DEBTOR IN POSEIDON - a real groaner! Good on you!
But my favorite was "Stop Thief" - 'cept I think it is even odds whether the vultures tear him apart (LTCM, Lehman, Bear Stearns) or circle the wagons to defend him because 'he didn't do anything wrong', and besides, we do the same thing every day; and the court has now tracked all the cash (well, $105 billion of it) and everybody is gonna get their money back.
Right.
Another good day for Banzai...
That Stop Thief illustration had Corzines name written all over it.
Dickens did a lot for the novel, which is a commercial enterprise, and he sold stories about their suffering to a mass audience which associated with most of it. Zola is more cutting, his Germinal, has been made into a film.
Great work. Putting Mitten's facade right smack dab in the middle of that last pic. Awesome. Americans who don't have shyte for brains or belong to the 0.1% better pay attention and realize what the Bain Capitalization of America is going to bring.
DEBTOR IN POSEIDON------- hard hitting and somber, the way the gods wanted it
As always....WB just terrific.
Dickens is far too genteel for our times......"Blood Meridian" .....with its gang, unfettered by morals, better fits WS:
"....and They Rode..."
.....and a bit more..."The men as they rode turned black in the sun from the blood on their clothes and their faces and then paled slowly in the rising dust until they assumed once more the color of the land through which they passed."
Is this Occupy Oakland or…no, it’s Occupied Palestine!

Common law rights? We don't need no stinkin' common law rights:
To freely associate, communicate,
And consensually transact,
In a private manner,
Without third-party mediation,
Or monitoring,
Or behavioral suasion,
Via the substrate
And minions of the State.
No, let's all private citizens get on with being good little sheeples. Here's my FINCEN-sanctioned VISA debt enthrallment device and transaction recorder, may I kindly have an espresso now please -- Baa, baaa, bwaa ha ha!

Which snitch list are you on today?
Anyone who thinks what we are seeing has nothing to do with Joseph Stalin or Hitler's Germany, should think again.
Love the small print at the bottom of each page !
Welcome to the Gulag.
Wanted to come back and say what fun I have been having with those CAT flyers !

As he was uncovering who was acting as the Gestapo's unsolicited agents, he also began to discern what motivated neighbor to inform on neighbor. The surviving myth told the story of informers who were motivated either by a commitment to the Third Reich or by a fear of authority.
But the motives Gellately found were banal—greed, jealousy, and petty differences.
He found cases of partners in business turning in associates to gain full ownership; jealous boyfriends informing on rival suitors; neighbors betraying entire families who chronically left shared bathrooms unclean or who occupied desirable apartments.
And then there were those who informed because for the first time in their lives someone in authority would listen to them and value what they said.
This terrorist bull shit is designed to take liberties, nothing more. This government and its law enforcement arm is becoming more and more out of control.
Out of whose control? It's not out of the control of its controllers.
so if you pay cash on a recurrent basis for a coffee cup in your local street store, say every day for one week, you are labeled as potential "terrorist" and can be hauled in indefinitely under NDAA legislation into bleak Guantanamolese soup?
A Tale of Two Salaries - a revision of Dickens for 2012
'Twas the best of times for the 1%, 'Twas the worst of times for the rest.
It was the age of austerity, it was the age of bail outs, it was the epoch of Occupy, it was the epoch of the Tea Party, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness. It was the spring of greed for Jamie Diamond, it was the winter of despair for justice.

Loved this speech from the Occupy Nigeria movement - now they know about corruption
Excerpt "i call this enthroning Caballocracy which is government of the cabals, for the cabals, by the cabals!"

A tale of two cities....then David Copperfield and Uriah Heep.
Now that is a name for the ages : Uriah Heep.
As for Mme Defarges I think she is knitting away...don't forget Darney, he looks like Hollande and God help him if he gets elected to the Conciergerie, as it leads to the Bastille of Euro Guillotine...Mamma mia!
Will they hang the new aristocrats, the bankstas, with the guts of the new clergy; those who concocted the Euro???
Last two pics .... , awesome!
