The Reaper descends from on high
The masses see death in the sky
They knew he was near
But greed outweighed fear
They blindly bought into the lie
The Limerick King
Better late than Reaper...

"A qualified man with vision, unmoved by daily selfish interests, will be led to right decisions by his conscience. In general, a man who knows from whence he comes and where he is going will co-operate with his fellow human beings. He will not be satisfied with merely doing his ordinary duties but will inspire others by his good example. You are being watched by the nation and you should realize that you will satisfy it if you do good; but if, on the contrary, you do evil, it will lose its hope and its confidence in you." Haile Selassie (1963)
Where is our man with vision? All the old crooks and scoundrels are re-appearing, staking their claims against us and our interests.
Hummmm...yup! Babel.

One of the straps from his lover's strap-on broke, causing a 'terrible ricochete'. 'It was horrible', the former Senate Majority Leader stated, while trying to suck up to other former leaders of the formerly-free world.

Was listening to the MSM A.M. 'talk' radio today on the way to where I go (during the day), and heard that WTI Crude went below $49.00 (about 0830 MST). SOME say that Armageddon will literally take place if it drops to $40.00. I forget where I read that... Z.H., perhaps? I think that they might be correct, William. I think that it's funny that they still use 'West Texas Intermediate' after all these years; as some kind of 'benchmark price'.
Just for fun: What's your opinion on the 'official story' of the 9/11 event? It's like everyone BUT the population of the Former United States knows that it is bullshit (and a lot of the population of the Former United States SUSPECTS it's bullshit, but are too cowardly to find out for themselves). FUCK, they still don't know what 'quantitative easing' is. Too busy getting erections because gasoline is falling in price to the $2.00 mark to care (after all the bad news in the past, well, decade or so). Too busy getting pissed because Boehner got re-selected this time. Too busy because they want to go to the football game, but are scared because of the TSA-like searches; so they are looking for 52-inch Chinese flatscreens to buy at Walmart so that they can throw an old-fashioned 'Superbowl party' (but wary of the roadblocks and 'DUI checkpoints').
'Wall Street' is simply a place where those that are 'smarter than they are' go to decide their fate. Any protests are co-opted; any voices of reason are silenced; any affiliation with those who protest the actions of the megalomaniacs is viewed with 'association' with 'radicals'.
Do you think there's still time to warn the people?
My bet is that a Chinese contractor installed lead piping in the District of Columbia.
cramer in spluge face, just sayin'.
nice work wb7 & all the best for 2015.
Just seen the gothica exhib at the british library,... the 1800's never disappeared from popular culture, and these prints prove it again mixing terror/horror/politics...... resonates doesnt it ?

Epic's generic association with the foundation of empire stretches back to Aeneas's foundation of Rome. So powerful is the Aeneid's influence that David Quint, in a recent exploration of the relationship between epic and empire, finds "the defining tradition of Western epic" to be the "Virgilian tradition of imperial dominance."1 But with the Renaissance comes a significant development in the history of imperial epic, for the imperial site moves to the New World and takes on a mode not military but mercantile. Rome of course remained a source of imperial symbolism throughout the Renaissance, but was no longer a sufficient model for the realities of empire-building: empire was now commercial, extending not only across continents but across oceans, and its maintenance demanded not only legions but merchant fleets. Tasso and Cam es extend the encomiastic "Virgilian tradition" to this new world of commercial empires.
This is the world in which Milton turned to epic. Acutely conscious of the generic conventions he took over, Milton knew the imperial implications of epic when he wrote Paradise Lost. But for all the attention given to Milton's involvement in Civil War politics, his political position in the world of the nascent overseas commercial empires has so far received scant attention.2 But though Milton's thoughts on empire have drawn little critical attention, there are at least suggestions of the redefined imperial world throughout the poem, and considering a number of passages in their historical context shows that Milton's epic did not in fact relinquish its concern with empire. Paradise Lost uses the Tower of Babel episode in book XII as a critique of the new empires, a critique linking colonial expansion to some of the first acts of tyrannical pride in sacred history....
all the Earth
To thee and to thy Race I give; as Lords
Possess it. ... Each Bird and Beast behold
After their kinds; I bring them to receive
From thee thir Names, and pay thee fealty
With low subjection. (VIII.338-45)
Rang'd on the Line oppos'd, Antonius brings
Barbarian Aids, and Troops of Eastern Kings;
Th' Arabians near, and Bactrians from afar,
Of Tongues discordant, and a mingled War.13
As when far off at Sea a Fleet descri'd
Hangs in the Clouds, by Equinoctal Winds
Close sailing from Bengala, or the Isles
Of Ternate and Tidore, whence Merchants bring
Thir spicy Drugs: they on the Trading Flood
Through the wide Ethiopian to the Cape
Ply stemming nightly toward the Pole. So seem'd
Far off the flying Fiend. (II.637-443)
There soon they chose
The Figtree, not that kind for Fruit renown'd,
But such as at this day to Indians known
In Malabar or Decan spreads her Arms.29
Then shall they seek to avail themselves of names,
Places, and titles, and with these to join
Secular power, though feigning still to act
By spiritual, to themselves appropriating
The Spirit of God. (XII.515-19)
gave us only over Beast, Fish, Fowl
Dominion absolute; that right we hold
By his donation; but Man over men
He made not Lord; such title to himself
Reserving, human left from human free. (XII.67-71)
This descent into imperial domination is the descent into history. The Babel episode appears at the culmination of book XII's progress from the personal to the imperial, and it is fitting that the epic concludes with a vision of empire, though one far from Virgil's grandiose nationalism and racial glory. This empire is marked instead by the fall from the unmediated divine Word. In Milton's vision, empire is built in Babel's shadow, and Babel extends its malign influence from the Old World to the New.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of bankers, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your gold and Your guns, they comfort me.
Shadow of debt?
Original sin.
Debt doesn't cast a shadow, it is a pit.
Hmmm, debt is somewhat akin to a black hole, but the word rolls off the tongue rather nicely.
Les Savy Fav - Reprobates Resume
Blessed be the doctor and blessed be the nurse.
Blessed be the coachman who put me in the hearse.
Blessed be the blessings and blessed be the curse.
Rattled from the sediment
Old bones around the settlement.
Tell who passed out the medicine
The dose was much too strong.
He goes to bed bereft and berated
and rests his head in the hands of the over rated.
Sweating bullets in the faculty lounge,
sensing treason they're not waiting around;
On the first bus out of town
they're playing movies that they've already seen.
The jewelry advances as the gums recede,
the devil goes out dancing on the angels perceived needs,
please go easy on me.
Cheap sex with a discount broker-
Cop's walkie-talkie squawks breaker-breaker,
We got to take her down to the station
she says that that broker broke her.
Read the text at the ticker tape parade-
The subtext is that someone's getting paid off.
Check the checks at the ticker tape parade-
Pay stubs of the people who've been laid off.
Insurance can't cover what the world's exposed-
Open nerves. Touching toes to stretch,
the A.C. made us retch.
Can you conceive of working for the
emperor's new clothes?
(please go)
Please go easy on me!
Please go easy on me!
Please go easy on me!
