I've had enough of Control. How 'bout a little Chaos.
Miffed
It's a shit show, Miffed....
Agreed, I'd like to hurl some back at them. I'm done being nice.
Miffed
i dont think this is what the founding fathers had in mind...
I am 100% sure of that Capt.
I do not think we will have to wait too much longer for that Cat 5 shitstorm Miffed.
If only he could get his short game under control now that everything is good.
Well, at least we have the NSA watching over us and we have the most transparent administration in history.
..and we have fundamental transformation up the wazoo.
100% under control!!! Why you ask? Cause they have the clipboard guy on their side!
With every step toward further control, we take one step further from natural growth and real human progress, which must by definition happen without control. It's a simple equation, proving that TPTB are not interested in growth or progress. The ONLY thing that matters to them is control. QED.
I believe it is KAOS.
Problem is a couple things
1) Central admin (aka Valerie) has zero idea what the people are doing
2) This admin looks at everything, and I mean EVERYTHING through a political lens. They are not about solving problems, only "winning the cycle"
3) Chief Exec has zero experience running anything. Im not sure why people are surprised
Chaos is a LADDER.

Game of Thrones explains it all.
Hey Miffed Microbiologist, were you that guy who borded a plane in the US in full hazmat gear a few weeks ago?
Well, since I cancelled my flight plans, I was unable to make that statement. Though I would have relished doing such a thing. My husband isn't such a rabble rouser as I. He just donned a n95 mask last Saturday when he flew to Tennessee. I was a little miffed.;-)
Miffed
We have entered the realm of full-retard farce....
FOWARD they cried from the rear
As the taxpayer died
Obama sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
Idiocracy was a documentary.
best.comment.ever
Welcome to Costco - I love you.
The founding fathers were probably thinking of responsible people with initiative and innovation. People who need freedom inorder to realize their vision.
No, not what the Founding Fathers had in mind. Then, they couldn't foresee the evolutionary creation of a new human species, Homo Fuckus, said new species entirely responsible for a type of chaos and shit not experienced before Fuckus came on board..
Yeah and the checks in the mail
...my MTV... LALALA ...and checks for free....
NOW I finally got it
Ah, you're back. Is the "management of early Ebola vectors" under control?
What's your model say will happen? What model do you use?
Kirk. Concerning your idea of inducing an induced coma. Would it be possible to induce hypothermia below the viruses survivable temperature?
I keep many viruses -80C. They absolutely love it. I will admit the RNA viruses do drop off about 10-20% viability after a couple of years. DNA viruses are much more stable. So, no this wouldn't have a shit chance of working but nice idea! At least this isn't a prion, that would be a lot worse.
Miffed
Au contraire, we could immerse them all in liquid nitrogen and revive them at a later date when we finally have a cure for the Obola virus.
(Sadly, the only cure for the Obola virus is a nice steam down at the bathhouse. Makes the Hole of Bung more pliable for the ass pirates.)
Prions! Now's there's some scary shit.
Bone meal for rose gardens. Stay away from it or you can get mad cow disease.
Yeah, but prions take 10-20 years to kill you, by which time you might have died from something else. Ebola offs you quick.
Listen Kirk,
It's toon time bbbbBitchez!
OK, then, it's Raging Microbiologist from here on out?
Yeah, my moon in Aries will be contained no longer. I'm tired playing by the rules. Broke a cardinal rule. Don't go into debt. Let them try to collect. ;-)
Miffed
Careful what you wish for Miffed.
How are your preps going ?
I'm teaching a chimp to fling its poo at intruders.
Feed him a steady diet of red food coloring.
Just place a sign on the door with big scary letters that say
EBOLA QUARANTINE
and all sorts of scary symbols like the skull and crossbones and all sorts of biological and nuclear symbols.
Either that or stand a mannequin in a yellow hazmat suit with a gun at the front door.
I'm teaching a chimp to fling its poo at intruders.
Good thinking. I've been trying to teach my fruitbat to fly overhead and pee on intruders, or if things are getting desperate, to hurl itself onto their bbq's.
Yes, we are under control (unfortunately).
Some more than others.
Crime syndicate.
I don't think that everything is under control.
POTUS has developed a terrible slice and I don't know
if there is any hope of rectifying that situation. But I
know he will try every weekend .... and assorted holidays .....
Its a slice because the only draw he manages is on a cigarette.
He smokes??
Don't worry Gimli, Reggie Love will help President Obola rectumfy his golf slice.
Does it really fucking matter whether that piece of shit still smokes cigarettes?
OMG...Are the fucking commenters on this site originating from the Yahoo Celebrity News Comment Boards?
Personally I smoke like a stack. I have one stuck in my face as I type this.
Are you another bunch of the liberal anti smoking nazis here on Hedge?
If someone wants to smoke then it is nunya...as in...nunya biznez.
If someone wants to drink themselves into a stupor it is nunya.
If someone wants to suck on glass dicks and blow their minds on the Meth it is nunya.
As long as whoever is doing whatever they are doing accepts responsibility for their own actions.
You can do pretty much anything 2 or 3 times a year without problems.
It becomes my business when you lose control and want me to deal with YOUR bad decisions.
Personal respo, wait a sec. What planet are you from?
If you remember the elevated Tobacco Taxes, along with the cash settlements that the Tobacco Companies reached with the MANY State Attorney General's Offices, were earmarked to be used for the increased Heath Care Costs for the people whom smoked cigarettes.
My behavior has been PAID FOR...IN ADVANCE, through those settlements and through those taxes.
It is too bad that your Government squandered the windfall, and left YOU, THE TAXPAYER, on the hook.
But you did not care as long as your Property Prices rose, and your Stock Prices reached for the stars as the sky was no limit. You enjoyed the benefits of corporate welfare, didn't you? You enjoyed the benefits of the workfare, welfare, warfare state, didn't you?
What is worse is that you expected me to pay for that. And I ended up paying for it...much more than you will ever know.
SO GO FUCK YOURSELF.
Roger that TT. Alaska collects almost $5 per pack, a carton of Camels is over $100 !!!
I had to switch to hand rolling.
I hope they are saving my deposits for when I show up for the new bionic lung. HA !
Don't hold your breath???
Now it's not your fault - that's for sure. The collective acceptance of you doing whatever you feel like in the past is what is at fault. The public decided to transfer HUGE amounts of wealth and future wealth to a VERY small number of people running tobacco monopolies by accepting that it was okay for you to suck poison in front of their kids. They let their kids be influenced by you in restaurants and on the street. Taking extra breaks from work to suck poison, the kids saw you enjoying yourself with your friends that smoked.
The potential wealth that was squandered on tobacco products will set back families for generations.
The general public is finally realizing they should tell smokers to fuck off. In your home? No one cares. Waste your money away. In front of me? Fuck off.
so just like the typical liberal Tall Tom complains about, he forgets in his nicotine haze that we're all paying for his smoking too...I get that the gov't has squandered all our tax money from tobacco...but that's the case with ALL tax money.
Tall Tom pounds angrilly away at his keyboard. The smoke from the cigarette hanging limply from his mouth wafts insolently into his red, bloodshot eyes, irritating an already irritated man. Resolutely, he pulls another hands free drag from is "moke", the red hot tip glowing brightly as it drops it's ashen load, tumbling down over the pinhole burns inTom's shirt to his lap. Satisfied with his ZH retort, he sputters a smokey cough and wipes his tearing eyes with his nicotine stained fingers.
LOL. I used to smoke. Have fun with that.
The cartoon could have been perfect with one change
Obama - "My failure to attend meetings I schedule is completely out of control"
President Putt Putt tries his best to control his slice. Sadly, We The Sheeple get no slices.. Just the lousy crumbs.
Assuming his stance is correct, slice is all in the grip. He's got a weak grip and therefore a slice. Get a grip, Obola and it'll all straighten out.
Russia is under control.
The economy is under control.
This is a fun game we can all play!!
ebola...not so much...
The US national debt is under control.

Wow Damn: the last time I looked, it was only 17.3T
Time flies when you are havin fun
They think they have us under mind control.
Question everything
Well, I have "control" of my aprtment, and my "stuff" within...for now.
Miffed…, “I’d like to hurl some back at them. I’m done being nice.”
Let me give you some ammo to work with: Americans have the power to redress any grievance that could be named (that is, to “hurl some back at them”); and they refuse to use that power. There are three main reasons for this failure: one is that they have no knowledge of such power; the second, they’ve been herded into a kind of impotent stupor by medication and indoctrination; the third, that they aid, benefit or were complicit in such evil (full article).
They don’t even know many of the most fundamental rights and powers won by our Revolution… actually, “confirmed” would be a better verb.
To begin, according to the law of redress, those who complain are supposed to also suggest a remedy, and, before you can do this, you have to get rid of that indoctrination and replace it with real facts of history.
As to the ignorance relative to lost American ideals: who knows that every American (preamble citizen) has the right to withhold taxes until government redresses his grievances; or that there is probably not a constitutional tax on the books, among other lost rights and powers?
“Redress before taxes” was a “Grand Right” declared by the Continental Congress, which also declared it to be a reason for the Revolution.
Further, Founders repeatedly declared the co-called right of consent: that no man was obligated to obey any law or pay any tax unless he gave his personal consent to such. Did they really mean that? Of course they did. They had been living by those rules from the first English settlement to the Revolution. That is, according to the origin of English/American law, “laws” and “taxes” originated in contracts between various assemblies and those who petitioned for redress of grievances. Terms of such contracts were sometimes referred to as “laws” and money payments as “taxes”. And, no one but petitioners were obligated to obey or pay such “laws” or “taxes”; that is, all non-petitioners were exempt from such. Further, when redress was completed, such “laws” and ‘taxes” were extinguished.
Today we no longer live according to American law: for, petitioners make themselves exempt from laws and taxes necessitated by their redress while all non-petitioners are saddled with such burdens. For example, when munitions makers, big banks, and Main Stream Media wish for another war, they petition Congress, Congress grants authority for the war, petitioners receive the booty of war and non-petitioners are stiffed with the expenses (thru payment of taxes and the blood and ruined lives of their male children). This inversion of American law is generally known as Persian law, law of the conqueror, law of the high seas, mouth law, martial law, ecclesiastical law… it goes by many names.
If you know nothing of the law and procedures of redress, and nothing of the ideals of liberty, how possibly can you achieve a condition of liberty?
I have great news for everyone: Americans won the Revolution; which means these rights and powers are our legacy. It really doesn’t matter tho: if American Founders had not declared, and won, them, we’d have to invent them.
However, until a few Americans (1%-2%) learn, and use, their legacy, victims and witnesses (such as Carmen Segarra, and most other whistle blowers) will just have to suffer alone, and, eventually, forgotten.
50% of the population has an IQ under 100. When you consider that half of the people with IQs over 100 are either lazy or active progresives/communists is any of this really a surprise. '
Idiocarcy is not fiction, its a documentary and Alizondro Comocho gave up his WWF title to lear how to play golf
I WILL NOT EVER SUGGEST that one can always mix Nitric Acid and Sulfuric Acid together in a Glass tube, immerse it into a bath of Glycerin in a sealed metal container with a plunger that breaks the glass, and place that device between a BANK BUILDING and the Nat Gas Meter.
I certainly WILL NOT SUGGEST that one follows through by striking the plunger so that the glass container inside of that pipe breaks so that those fluids mix.
That would yield a blast and also be against the law as you'd destroy the building which is owned by one of our most fine and noble of institutions. That would be totally reckless and irresponsible on my part if someone had this knowledge and acted upon it after reading that which I wrote.
So I cannot ever suggest it..
Why just a few dollars spent can cost those people hundreds of thousands of dollars. Nobody in their right mind would want to do that....except...maybe....the disenfranchised? The people whom had their homes foreclosed and repossessed by the Banks to sit vacant because the Fed buys up the Non Performing Mortgages?
Nahhh...The unemployed will not want to do that. Nahhhh....The people whom lost everything as a result of the rampant fraud on Wall Street, K Street and Capitol Hill will not want to do that. Nahhhhh...
There is nothing to concern yourselves with. Right?
It is all under control.
This is why you don't let nazi swine hang around on your site. Pretty soon it's all about murdering the people they don't like. As well as innocent bystanders and anybody unlucky enough to get in the way. Can't make an omelet, etc.
Some of you guys out there are eventually going to find out that idiots like this one will torpedo your chances of advancement in life.
You need a security clearance? Well, about that site you like so much. You know, the one that publishes bomb making instructions...

The Cloud is not a game but an eternal memory of everything you do and everywhere you have been. You want to leave your adoring fingerprints on a comment such at this, be my guest, morons.
Tarabel, you are so right… who wants to hang around with Nazis?
Actually, Nazis were such pikers compared to what Judeo-Bolsheviks have been doing (genocides and general plunders) for 4,000-5,000 years.
Instead, we should learn and use historically-proven methods by which to advance the cause of liberty (an intro); that is, methods that set in motion the only eras that aimed at that goal: Athenian, English (1620-50) and American revolutions.
Until you learn these lessons, you shouldn’t set that indoctrinated and medicated brain in motion; it will only embarrass you.
Well… you’re close.
By my estimates, 90%-95% of the white population has been conditioned into a slave mentality, and, owing to the difficulty of changing self-destructive habits, they will die that way.
This leads to the question, “Shall we direct their actions (thru employment and redress)… or shall we abandon the field and let criminal and useful-idiot classes direct their actions?”
If you favor the former, please study my links in above comment.
Clesthenes; You make a lot of sense.
I want to respond with some ideas before rereading your long piece above.
- We live in a system of Patriarchs and Authorities
- Wealthy People & Corporations create more authority
- We have largely grown accustom to Complicated Systems and are told they are too complicated to explain and they don't allow us Transparency anyway
- The Military System is set up like Banks, there are Inspections, Inspector Generals, and Auditing Offices
- We might not like the Military System for Everyday Business, for schools, for Townhalls, for Police, and not for dealing with our kids, but Auditing seems to be a Solution
- Legislation is supposed to be written after a look at history, old rules & laws, the effect of old laws and how newer laws came about, and research to see how the laws interact with other systems and entities (now it is just Lobbying & Money that matters)
- Today call it Brain Washing or a Shift in Culture toward Fascism or Inverted Totalitarianism or Corporatism
- Reforms that simplify, standardize, streamline laws & taxes & accounting would help greatly and Enable Transparency and Involvement of Informed Voters
- 20% of US Workers don't add Value to the USA or our GDP (Guesstimate)
- If we got money and gift giving out of Politics, Justice System, Government Office Holders, we could free up Accountants, Tax Accountants, Tax Lawyers, Financial Lawyers, Lobbyists, Executives... and best of all put Elected Leaders back to work instead of only meeting with Interest Groups and Rich Donors
- Any Crisis in the USA will be met with minimal fixes, not Sweeping Reforms... unless the country does literally descend into chaos
- Sweeping Reforms are needed, Standardized Accounting, Standardized Financial Instruments, Less Money Creation Authority by the TBTF Banks, Less Rehypthication of Assets
GAO should have lots of moving targets on poor stewardship of taxpayer money at this point. Fraud, Waste & Abuse on an Epic Scale.
Audit the CIA, Audit the NSA, Audit the FED, Audit all Federal Funds that go toward the MIC, FEMA, NIH, CDC, HHS, DHS, and all contracts or bond sales/treasury bill sales to Prime Dealers or TBTF Banks... this would include EBT Card contract to JP Morgan.
- Reform would mean closing down many of our Spy Agencies and ending the Federal Reserve which obviously has not stopped our government from moral hazard or spending like Dictators.
Besides who Audits the stewardship of the US World Reserve Currency... It appears the US Military is the old one capable of stopping the Big Banks. Why the hell are we paying interest to banks on our US Currency anyway???
Have to add: Main Street can't afford to fight for Justice in our Court Systems, they can't take on Corporations. This is another area for Standardization, Bench Mark Cases, Court Precedent where rulings can defend the people from Banker Trust or Corporate Vultures. Big Reform of US Justice System and Civil Law. Standardization. Primary Laws of the Land. Anti-Trust to breakup monopolistic behavior.
So how does one exercise this right? This is a serious question - I'm not being snarky. I have read about this elsewhere...just not sure what the real life procedure is. Do you just send back a tax return with a note indicating that you are exercising your right of redress befoe taxes?
DO NOT ACT according to the right of “redress b4 taxes” UNTIL you have learned law and procedures of redress; this goes to the question of “HOW?” For an intro please go to my article Failure of Power.
If you act b4 learning these lessons, you’ll launch on a mission of suicide.
I have liberty of mind. They may rape me with their abuses of the law. They may take my property. They may enslave me. They may torture me. This is ultimately of no consequence. I still will die with my mind free. This will be my legacy to the world. And if I suffer alone and forgotten? So be it.
Miffed
Miffed, in the meantime, criminal and useful-idiot classes continue to “eat” your children (thru the process of governmental debt). Have you no concern for them?
Why is there no Ebola news this weekend? Is it the "out of sight, out of mind" mentality in play?
The 24 hour cable news industry only works five days a week.
Although there is one good piece of news: The Spanish nurse who was infected has now tested negative for Ebola, which means she has no detectible viral load in her serum. Also, she's producing her own Ebola antibodies, another good sign.
No no, it's aok, people are still dying: http://who.int/csr/disease/ebola/situation-reports/en/
Didn't you hear Gawd, President Obola has everything under control.
Now back to golf on Reggie Love's back nine and a relaxing steam down at the local bathhouse.
Now you see why Obama picked 'the jewish lawyer, politic hack' to run the Ebola crisis. He is 'controlling' the situation.....now you see what that means....
In case you can't figure it out, it means .gov censorship of information and data.
one paradox of human organizations is the same attribute of human nature that insists upon empire building also destroys the empire building .org in the end. at some point there will be a black swan, a tipping point that will unleash shock and awe upon .gov. unfortunately the bottom half of the class needs to participate in critical mass numbers for it to succeed. there isn't quite enough time during tv commercials and downloading youtube videos.
Control is an illusion. Anyone who thinks they have things 'under control' also believes they can weild the one ring of power. Can't be done.
Yep
Makes me think that they took way too many taxes off of me over the years.
CNN not beating the drums today... Muffin recipes on page one... Now I'm getting scared...

"Under Control" is right up there with "Top Priority." More and more often, at the end of a horrific news story, you'll get some inane quote regarding Top Priority...Child found handcuffed to porch, covered in cigarette burns and sustained multiple internal injuries. The child had been under the watch of Social Services. Reached for comment, Social Services was unable to provide any details, citing privacy concerns. They did, however, provide the following statement: The health, safety and security of the children under our protection is always our Top Priority.
Its starting to slip out of thier hands. If we can just keep ww3 from starting just a bit longer. We might get that shot.
Chew on this a bit. Just in time manu. Combind with 18 day holds give the big boys time to wiggle by avoiding investing cash for very long. Well they are holding back paying longer and longer. We are at that point where they used up those proffits and did not pay for goods recieved. Looks to me Detroit spent it and GM prolly did too. Think congress/banksters are any different? Me niether.
Just keep calling BULLSHIT! It only works if we follow them. Dont follow lead yourself.
Obama, a failure in everything under HIS administration.
Government, being nothing more than a criminal syndicate of theft and violence, always accomplishes the opposite of the stated goal. Always.
The reason is that all utterances and actions by government, pols, crats, and funcs, are lies to cover up their grab for more money, and power, from you--violence backed wealth redistribution.
An American, not US subject.
"My guillotine can get everything under control in a jiffy."
The reason is that all utterances and actions by government, pols, crats, and funcs, are lies to cover up their grab for more money, and power, from you--violence backed wealth redistribution.
Like the Tobacco Tax increases and the Settlements that the Tobacco Corporations PAID in the past decade supposedly to be for Health Care for smokers???
(Of course those LIBERAL ANTI SMOKING NAZIS...as well as most Republicans who did not utter one protest...loved this as the State Governments just squandered those funds. It was...was...was...it was like Christmas. And now they do not want to PAY THE COSTS. So much for personal responsibility.)
That is what is so damned humorous about the Red Team/Blue Team paradigm. They both want those revenues and want to have thier children pay for the excesses...in the form of elevated taxes and inflation...because they just love their children.
How about you? Honestly. Did you support the lawsuits filed by the State's Attorney Generals against the Tobacco Companies? Did you support the increase of Tobacco Taxes also during that time?
That happened during the Bush Administration, you know?
I couldn't help but notice there was no frame for Wall Street or the Fed in the cartoon.
That makes sense, of course, since no one in the Gov even pretends to have them under control.
We, the taxpayers, have been paying the CDC and all these three letter agency "workers" their high salaries and benefits and now we find out that they have been masturbating at "work".
F.ck all of you!
That ,at least, would have a happy ending.
This farce, prolly not.
Thanks to the Federal Reserve, which is OUT of CONTROL, but it keeps all those other things in control of the pretend controllers in Washington.
Out of control assumes that there was control in the first place. There is a certain type of psychotic individual that actually believes that they are in control. Institutions, also largely psychotic, build systems that they believe control things that 'need to be controlled".
One heart attack, one mass coronal ejection, one stroke, one mega-volcano, one head-on with an 18 wheeler, one 100km asteroid, or maybe just one little virus - any one of these is all it will take to destroy the illusion of control. There is no control. There is only riding the wave for a brief moment.
OK. I'll beleive it this time. But next time...
If we could just double government spending, they might possibly get it half right.

The Ebola Singularity
covered:
1. The virus has outpaced every estimate to date
2. Present efforts to stop the plague are based on four lies that Mr. Obama desperately wants you to believe
3. Effects will go far beyond the virus itself and will constitute the chief initial danger for western countries
4. Proof that Mr. Obama brought Ebola to America on purpose
5. The end of the democrat party
6. Questions for Mr. Obama
7. The seven people who can do something about this today
8. Appeal to the private sector

Its very scary to realiize the worlds largest clusterfuck has been brought to you by the people that try and follow science, best practices and reason. Imagine what would happen if Republicans took control.
Oh I forgot we dont have to imagine, we already had the Bush administration.
The Creeps running this shit show are anti-science, unreasonable knuckledraggers using worst practices and make Bush look brilliant! They Blame Bush, but they are dreaming they could do half well as well!
Thats the problem - they are only trying to follow scince, but actually they're making it up (science) as they go. Bash Bush and stay proud of your Algore and Joe Biden - both advised by the new Ebola Czar. Lord help us
Is that some kind of sick joke? What science? What attempt at science? Not in the last 30 years in American politics.
Seriously you look at all the items in that cartoon, and you have to think, Christ their managing every Crisis by bringing up another crisis to dwarf the last one... I can't wait for number 15....
