Meanwhile, The US Public Is Distracted By This...

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With emerging market currencies collapsing, US equity hopes fading, bond yields tumbling, and 1.4 million people having fallen off the government transfer receipts bandwagon this week; what better way to distract the US public from that awkward reality that it's all fake...

 

 

Well... and of course this.

Gates can barely find his ass with both hands.  Pays to have a top notch eugenist for a father........boy does it pay.

Iam getting this awful sinking feeling especially when I watch TV, scan the internet or pick up the phone to hear a robo call. The whole economy is built on advertising and consumer spending while the Fed is blabbering
about QE, tapering, low interest rates and unemployment. Meanwhile banks and Wall St have no credibility, politicians play games and yet we expect real growth to miraculously appear because we believe in freedom, democracy, technology and an invisible hand of progress based on a reserve currency and an ever rising stock market.

Same feeling but my awful sinking feeling is the result of LIES, HALF-TRUTH, and "NEWS" which has been treated by a waste treatment plant and then put through reverse osmosis, then supplemented.

Try this: turn on the tv, start a stop watch or counter, determine how long until you hear a lie or some twisted, agenda. Oops you missed the stop button, too quick for you?

This morn I listened on radio to a clip of MSNBC host interrupting an interview with a US Congressman to breathlessly announce that someone named Justin Bieber had been arrested.

I ask you, who is this man, Bieber?

"Yo Biebs"

"Yeah Barry."

"I need a distraction for me and Ben."

"Not my turn - Miley's turn."

"No she did that twerk thing."

"Really? Been that long."

"Yeah.  Been letting my personal Press corp handle it, but it's gotten to be too much lately."

"Ok.  Is the money in my account?"

"Yeah.  It's in Canadian dollars as you like it."

"Ok. What do you need me to do?..."

Bieber's mug shot really looks like Miley Cyrus before she puts on her make up. Look at the pictures and tell me I am wrong.

Why they're even offended over at the Daily Kos!

Perhaps we're not so very different from those ignorant, arrogant, crypto-fascist cunts after all....

I couldn't sleep last night wondering what was going on with Bieber. I hope he doesn't go to the same rehab facility as Lindsey Lohan. I'm monitoring the situation closely. I just wish they would get this davos crap off the news. It's a real distraction. Thanks ZH for coverng this developing story.

There is a simple to understand solution, but so hard to implement.

Lots of Americans are not going to see the distractions this year because they haven't paid their Cable bill.

Instead they have to content themselves with listening to Alex Jones on the internet, going to college, voting and reading ZH.

The media have to pull out all the stops to keep the Great Unwashed from realizing that the Kenyan Muslim Marxist they voted for - and his horrible policies - are bringing us to total disaster.

And when disaster totally hits, they'll blame Bush, Palin, Limbaugh, and the TEA Party. Then they'll seize our assets, restrict our freedoms, and hand us more bread and circuses to keep the people demanding more intervention - for their own good.

That's why people like this are in office:

Former Va. Gov. McDonnell, wife plead not guilty RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife pleaded not guilty Friday to federal charges that they traded their influence for tens of thousands of dollars in gifts and loans, and both will be allowed to remain free until their trial.     Innocent until proven guilty but there's smoke....
