"Cleaning My Gun"
I like to know who's coming through the door at us all
It's the old Army training, kickin' in
I'm not complaining
It's the world we live in
Ronny and Malarkey, they're a devious firm
They'll take you to the cleaners, let you burn
The help is breaking dishes in the kitchen,
Thanks a lot
We hired the worst dishwasher
This place ever got
Hidden below the radar, they want to spoil our fun...
In the meantime, I'm cleaning my gun
Remember it got so cold ice froze up the tank
We lit a fire beneath her just so she would crank
Keep a weather eye on the horizon
Tap the storm glass now and then
We got a case of Old Damnation
For when you get here my friend
We can have ourselves a party before they come...
In the meantime, I'm cleaning my gun
We had women and a mirror ball, we had a DJ
We used to eat pretty much all came this way
Ever since the goons came in took apart the place
I keep a tire iron in the corner just in case
Gave you a magic bullet on a little chain
Keep you safe from the chilly winds
And the howl of the rain
We're gonna might need bullets, should we have stuck
Any which way, we're gonna need a little luck
You can still get gas in heaven and drink in kingdom come...
In the meantime, I'm cleaning my gun

6 + years of "QE" and very few know about said insitutional theft or the mechanisms. Un-real.
Here's the tipping point with Russia. (From a career US Army officer). Say Sunday Russia rolls five Divisions into Latvia or Estonia. (Not hard since the two countries share a border). What is NATOs response? Does the Eagle finally fight the Bear? And who helps?
* IF * Natos response is something along the lines of a "committee" or financial / humanitarian aid - then NATO is no more. (Not that it really existed in intent once folks wanted to invite Russia INTO the alliance).
A retired MSG friend once said, "The best of Europe died over 100 years ago in the trenches of the Somme, Ypres and Verdun. The rest has been bred out of them."
QE seems to be the perfect con.
You have to wonder about people who are so easily steered by neocons like Victoria Nuland. They constantly repeat that the mistakes of the past must not be repeated. She is not playing in our backyard.
What a farce.

We will win this one millimeter at a time.
Wow are the banksters ever murdering the Russian ruble again. They just want a war don't they? There can never be enough war for them can there? The USD is at 94.WTF? How so?
Manipuflation, re "They just want a war don't they? There can never be enough war for them can there? "
it's not war they want. it's... woar. that's moar with a threat of war
in short, a military-commercial empire of megabiz interests driven by shortsightedness and... growth of the cancerous style. what you get when you adore money as a goal, not as a mean to ends
or, as WilliamBanzai7 so mastefully writes as a post: WHeN PLuNDeR BeCoMeS A WaY OF LiFe
It is a war. Suggest you peruse this: http://www.soilandhealth.org/03sov/0303critic/030317hudson/superimperial...
Wow. 335 pages? That reminds me of the last time I read it.;-) It never hurts to review though so I saved to this comp for review. My wife wonders about this tranaction that I am about to do for some heavy coin. She said that she was worried that she not be able to leave the country even though she is a Russian citizen because there could be a lien placed against by the .gov. She is silly that way and she likes to argue with me on points of law. She thinks that she might not be able to leave the U.S. because of some shit regulation. Only she would find that but there are a hundred others that say otherwise. Her green card is up for renewal soon for another $1500. It is expensive to love my wife and argue with her.
I ask her, "Don't you see what I have been doing for the last decede?". It all somehow escapes her and she thinks she will get deported because she is still a Russian citizen. Yeah, right, our children are American born citizens. She is not going anywhere if she does not want to. If she does want to go then she can but that is not how it will work out. She is worried about the U.S. government.
She sees what I did and she knows that I made some knots and twisted them. She fights back against me because she wants to believe in the state when she knows I do not. She sees what I have done and she knows what I am going to do. It is not easy to get that Soviet out of her and she admits that fact. I can't make her what she isn't but she does respect me. I told her that all government can go piss up a rope.
I am not paying any more taxes than I already have and no one is getting deported. Just on those two issues I have the morons in a pickle on two counts: Yes, our children are Americans with a Russian Mother so they won't fuck with that. You can't deport a U.S citizen and especially a child. Second of all, Springfield Armory.
Just in case, perhaps she should apply for Mexican citizenship. They don't deport Mexicans with guns in the house ;-)
very interesting tome. at page 285, I've found this little thing, just before August 15th, 1971:
"For the time being, proposals to establish an EEC Monetary Union, the equivalent of a central bank for Common Market Europe, had to be held in abeyance. This was an at least a temporary victory for the United States, but it was no more than temporary. Moreover, a consistent U.S. objective since 1945 had been to open Europe’s markets wide to U.S. farm exports. The Common Market’s agricultural policy had prohibited this. But to continue to succeed, this policy depended on fixed exchange rates among the currencies of the Inner Six. The outflow of funds from the United States, especially into the German mark, made maintenance of parities between the mark and the French franc impossible. Thus, the Common Market’s agricultural policy, the indispensable foundation for harmonizing trading interests between France and Germany, hence the foundation of the Common Market itself, was brought into peril, threatened by the deluge of funds, largely American funds, that flooded into Germany."
in that region of the book you can see the mechanics of the still existing and ongoing "Food War" and "Currency War" between the "Inner Six" European countries and the USA, the first ideas of having something like the EUR to counter the inroads of Wall Street in european monetary matters, and so on
if it's a "war", then it's an old war. But I still hold that the european governments of then were right: Uncle Sam was asking too much, as today. Uncle Sam, then as today, wants... moar. Whenever, whatever, who cares, what is history, fuck the EU, just gimme .. moar
and so we have the EU and the EUR, and some few Washingtonites and NewYorkers who do indeed know the history of all this... still hope to crush the EUR and crush resistance and to open those markets for food exports... which is the inner core of the EU and why that org is there
if you do read around page 285 attentively, then you will realize what the EU really is for and what the EUR really is for: a common, polite answer to our Dear Uncle's... moar
You can be sure of one thing, what is happening now has nothing to do with protecting farmers and everything to do saving the big bankster kahuna.
I find it very interesting how you revert to a "spartacist", simpler "them" versus "us, the oppressed" narrative whenever we get into... details
I have never talked about "protecting farmers". You have fun and I sincerely hope you make a buck or two out of your artistic denigration of all those things. Good for you
but you have yourself linked here a very interesting document that does bring some details about why the EU and the EUR were born
and it is not a fight between "farmers or big bankster kahuna". it is a fight between two models of market capitalism
on one side the full monty financial market capitalism that favours Big Biz above everything else, championed by the big bankster kahuna already from the times when London ruled over the waves. where it's all about profits... and nothing else. where enterprise has to have stocks and bonds on the markets, which then reshape everything according to what speculation dictates by sheer financial power
it is the world where wheat prices can be jacked up because a few megabucks want to bet on wheat prices... and screw the food riots in the rest of the world, then they are just moar business for the woar business
and on the other side you find some... moderation. that questions this "free for all, full speed ahead financial freedom", questions if it's really necessary to have whole continents dependent from food from a different continent, questions if it's really necessary to be enslaved by a banking "system" that has the full control over the global reserve currency and can jerk up and down whatever it wants
do as you want, think what you want, I don't need to convince you of anything. but I do note that against this British/American financialization model, you have criticism, but it does not go beyond "they are screwing us". it does not go beyond "I don't like it"
in short, my impression is that you don't like our european models because they aren't perfect, and still allow for imbalances, poverty and debt. while you refuse to see under what pressure we are. and so, in the Great American Tradition, you cheer for the Underdog Of The Day, which in this case it's Greece, "being screwed by the EU and the EUR", without noting that Greeks want the EUR and that "the EU", more correctly some EU countries had to bail out Greece from the "big bankster kahuna" that made an inroad in Greece, thanks to the gate-crashing of the Squid
I perceive in you the heart of a socialist without their enthusiasm and optimism. the result is a kind of nihilism, and "eat the rich" chutzpah. because... you think that the American model is right but corrupted by power, or "the state"? Or because any form of socialist or "statist" thinking has been propagandized away by your American education? I don't know, and I am still fascinated by this way of thinking, which is perhaps the main reason why I come so often back to ZH
so I still hope to understand you and your fandom better, and wish you all the best
You never talked about farmers?
But you quoted this sentence: "Thus, the Common Market’s agricultural policy, the indispensable foundation for harmonizing trading interests between France and Germany, hence the foundation of the Common Market itself, was brought into peril, threatened by the deluge of funds, largely American funds, that flooded into Germany."
And I don't disagree with that statement or most of what is said in the book which BTW I linked and BTW is written by someone who has little, actually nothing, good to say about Anglo-Saxon financial parasitism and the imperial dollar.
Nor did I intend to ignite a verbal sparring match with you.
Which is really neither here nor there.
You have a problem. I don't quite know what it is.
Perhaps it is cultural or an English as second language thing or maybe as many think you are a Euro troll.
You made an observation and then I made a very simple observation, which you seem to have reconfabulated into an American Marxist Nihilist Cartoonist statement of anti-Europeanism and proceeded to follow with a lengthy blowhard diatribe with distinctly ad-hominem flavours.
Gosh, imagine my dismay.
Being in a good mood, I could just tell you to take your meds and go walk your dog.
On second thought, there is no sense in being civil or non-chalant with this kind of behavior.
Sir, with all undue respect, go fuck yourself.
WB7, this isn't only a problem of culture or spoken/written language. you add images to the whole thing. your artwork. and I am reacting to your art's symbolism and conveyed messages
(did I insert a "blowhard diatribe with distinctly ad-hominem flavours"? if so, it was not my intention, more of my way of arguing. I try to explain further down)
anti-Europeanism? I'm not so sure if I'd put it this way. it has the flavours of pure imperialism... for this recipient and interpreter of your visual messages
why? well, because we have "structures", here in Europe, be it the EU or the EUR... and your message is, in my eyes, a "FUCK THEM", followed by a "BREAK THEM"
to me, you don't seem to care about the origin or purpose of those structures, or which "structures or order" they are meant to mitigate and moderate
you posted that tome. I pointed out that there you can look up the origins of both EU and EUR. At which point you replied with a "simple observation" that leads to nowhere:
"You can be sure of one thing, what is happening now has nothing to do with protecting farmers and everything to do saving the big bankster kahuna."
which did startle me, and led me to this diatribe. no, it is not about "farmers". it is about... life. the very way you replied to my message with something that sounded like "it's the interests of..." (add here group) is... brutally "oh, it's all about command & control and money" in the "business as usual, dog eat dog, cut-throat-is-normal" way... or at least it sounded this way
those guys then were right. US AgriBusiness has continued the path of full-blown financial market capitalism "I don't care" producing food that is poisoning entire nations... for profit
and that is what happens when that kind of "financial imperialists" touches... everything. it's part and parcel of this way of looking at things
your artwork, particularly those with the "EUR debtserf" stuff... well, yes, it could as well have been paid by those financial imperialists themselves
you feel entitled to ask for the dismantlement of other people's structures. as such, you follow a great tradition of imperialism. divide et impera. we know a few things about that
I guess you can't understand my message, which is my fault, too, and perhaps it is simply a cultural gap that can't be bridged, not only an Anglo/Continental one but also a Visual Artist vs Non-Visual Artist one like that of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists
-----
- I rephrase: with your artwork, you denigrate our dams. fine. but we see them as dams against a way of looking at life that is too financial, and anti-human. your current reasoning is tied to the rows that Germany et al are having with Greece. but you fail to appreciate that those countries bailed out Greece from that financial system. after they were fucked by the Squid and flows of money market paper funds looking for a yield, the immense waves of USDs that rush all over the planet (which led to the dams). but you don't seem to care about those details, then your thinking seems to strongly embedded in that culture, which then leads to what I am trying to understand, i.e. your personal way of looking at them, your reasoning. which then, when asked, seems to generate a "fuck you" because you see it as an ad-hom attack
I guess I won't find a way to talk to you about those things, too many bridges, too many gaps. wish you all the best
.
Now I am an Imperialist employed by Lloyd Blankfein...
[People ROTFLOL in the background]
Meanwhile, not to disappoint you, but I lived in Europe for over a decade which happened to be the decade that many of the principles to which you aver were enacted. And yes, I was busy trying to hash out what it was all supposed to mean, with all good intentions.
In the US, what we are learning the hard way is that founding principles enacted with all good intentions have nothing to do with the deeds of corrupt oligarchs, political bag men and pinstriped hijackers.
Wake up, their turf is not limited to the continental United States.
And take that silly EURO battery off your shoulder.
yes, I stand behind that "flavours of imperialism". it's embedded in the casual way to ask for other people's systems and orders to break up
many anarchists in history had to find out that they were, at the end, on the same side of other forces, and aided them (no, I'm not calling you an anarchist, it's just an analogy)
WB7, I note that at the end, it's just that: I try to bridge a gap, and you stay comfy in your "it's all the same, it's all bag men" intellectual bunker
serves me well to even try. I will refrain to do so in future. fare well
You realise don't you that that percieved gap is of your own making.
There are plenty of core and non-core Europeans who understand my messages perfectly well and appreciate that I do not play favorite to the US.
As for the images, there is a reason that I use them. I know it is upsetting to those boxed in by linear thinking.
"Those confounded pictures..."--Boss Tweed
So it goes.
Please do something with banksters FUCKING HANGING!!! Thank you
Or like one of those old fashion shooting games with the ducks going around.
Húh?!

"And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that opposed."
"If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they."
When an institution abandons its charter, defiles its mandate, uses every artifice to pretend at honesty and justice, but is in reality completely corrupt, intriguing and false--by this you may know the lowest sale of the soul. This is the definition of the great whore of all the earth, she who has sold all tenderness, mercy, and virtue for any daily trinket. Who would want that being in their life?
Abandon honest accounting, conjure without toil or enterprise tokens of exchange, dilute, devalue, lie, sneakthief, corrupt, intrigue, and thieve openly. Who does this? What institutions do this?
They have lost the mandate of heaven. They are "beyond the pale" and soon subject to the buffetings that always accompanies wrongdoing.
And so for a minute's mirth, will those subject wail and howl decades.
How is it that any within the compass and influence of central banks do not immediately turn away? It will destroy all you love.
Folly of man, folly is man. Ever they wish to consume without labour, to accumulate by force or fraud and every deceit. The world over has been converted and all seek the evil gift of substance without true investment. Of course it will lead to everlasting happiness!
"Well if you're just going to give it to me, okay."
Its suppose to be more complicated than this isn't it?
"We work and pay our taxes and they give it all to Wall Street"?
Oh, almost forgot...."Now here is a great war with Russia we've conjured up for you! Dont worry! These sanction things wont hurt a bit!"
Is there even a country left anymore?
Sorry if my poetry is off.
Fine words sir.
Fine words indeed....
Thanks for Posting the lyrics to that first song.
Gonna cross post this gem from another comment I made here (at ZH) about the 80 richest people. They really need to look at the foundations...
http://news.firedoglake.com/2013/09/23/clinton-global-initiative-is-mark...
Why not create an annual event that harnessed the desire of wealthy celebrities to get close to Clinton to advance the aims of his foundation? Thus, in 2005, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) was born.
CGI is not a traditional charity—unlike Clinton’s foundation, it does not dispense money of its own. Instead, it is a series of collaborations with corporations or individuals to solve global problems, anchored by an annual conference that costs $20,000 to attend. In the past eight years, CGI has secured pledges worth $74 billion. (By comparison, the Gates Foundation has given away $28 billion since its inception in 1994.) As conceived by Band, CGI was the perfect vehicle for Clinton. It allowed him to train his intellect on wonky dilemmas—improving China’s power grid, bolstering Mali’s market for locally produced rice. And it placed him at thecenter of a matrix of the ultra-wealthy and the ultra-powerful, the kinds of people Clinton has always taken a special pleasure in surrounding himself with.
Sleepy Hollow Nights?
There is an evil that is set about the land. It has no smile on it's face. America lies in ruins. The tribes are nervous. The poor are already starving, and mighty restless are all.
Everybody knows WHO the babylonian govt is that has brought the once proud nation to its knees in servitude to the banksters that stole their wealth away in the night, like the thieves they are for moar WAR. No one is happy knowing what is coming.
There is no US representation of the people in America any moar, there is only ignorant govt servitude to the moneygod. Were you not warned, oh babylon? Have you now become that which you swear is your enemy? Of course you have because you had no other choice. No proper edumacation to show you that yes, the light of truthful heartfelt Love is greater than the egoic evil of your own mind. We must declare to our Higher Power every day, forgive us our sins, and deliver us from the evil WITHIN our own selves. THAT part of self does NOT live in the heart and God did not create evil in the 3-D world. The mind of man created it and it has flourished because historically the moneygod has been used as the tool all fools fall for. If you only know the material unreality, how can you know spiritual reality truth? Who among ye would truly follow the dictates of the heart first, before those of the moneygod knowing that the moneygod IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL?
(world auditorium->sound of crickets)
((And, would ye know salvation comes from the heart if that very easy knowledge slapped you upside the head in which therein the ego is contained, with a dead fish?))
(((moar crickets)))
How will the politically active act when they too are doused in the night? Death knows not red or blue or your political greedy moneygod ego reputations. Labels and names and ego material status means nothing on the other side of life. The truth is, all die the same way when outrageous painful suffering is part of the slow horrible decent into darkness. No ego, red or blue political blah blah will save you and your families from the suits of ignorance you wore so proudly all your life. Death can only be quicked after being aerially sprayed by a two-part bioagent in the cold night using a govt drone(use the e-poxy model for understanding this process)from above at say, 3:33 am when most of the country is fast asleep. If you are breathing in the air for many years and it contains all those ingredients that are reported to be in the chemtrails/Geo-engineering clouds, then perchance the final reaction ingredient is still yet to come. From above, for below. When least expected. People are too stupid to even look up. Observe. See how most corporal eyes are for the most part, always looking down. Wonder why? Fear.
So many years of ignorance and laziness has resulted in forgetting about the concept of readiness, and night watchmen. The soul of today is taught from birth to look for happiness in the matrix outside of the body, instead of taught how to find it first in the Soul place where you are. Truth is of the heart, not the easily fooled and conditioned/programed mind. The reason YOU do not know that is because you have NO EXPERIENCE to prove to you that there is an OTHER SIDE of life. Not YOUR fault for the lack of this vital initiatory revelational information. Most were ONLY taught about the 3-D world from only a material aspect. Always follow your heart. This is the message.
America stands weak, long stuffed and prepared for the slaughter. No one cares if they are killed by a quick flash of nuklear hells fiery furious explosion, or if they are killed off slowly.
Sure as rain the next day, in the traditional play of the fear-cards-game, society is suddenly thrust into the violence of fast change from peacetime, to war time in their front yards. Yes, the awakening to how real life is comes to those who suddenly see their friends and family splattered and dismembered all over the streets in front of their disbelieving eyes. Blood runs in pools as sounds of hell are set loose to really terrorize those who are left in bus stops like shock, and disassociation. Sudden reality in the unreality for most will be unpleasant to say the least, as they come front and center with their own ignorance for letting it all happen. In the future, the last breaths of so very very many bodies may well be for the wondering mind that will be on permanent replay saying, why, how could this happen? Then darkness creeps in and the Heart calmly says, put on your seatbelt, everything is awesome!
The situation in Greece is becoming more interesting as the Finance Minister there stated he opposed further Russia sanctions by the EU. This news came out about 2 hours ago.
This just in:
http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/28/us-ukraine-crisis-sanctions-id...
(Reuters) - New European Union sanctions against Russia could include further capital markets restrictions, making it harder for Russian companies to refinance themselves and possibly affecting Russian sovereign bonds, EU officials said on Wednesday.
The EU could also move to further restrict Russia's access to advanced technology for its oil and gas industries.
EU foreign ministers are expected to ask the executive European Commission on Thursday to prepare a new round of sanctions to punish Moscow for its role in eastern Ukraine, however officials said the measures may not be adopted by EU leaders until March.
The EU called an extraordinary foreign ministers' meeting after Kiev said 30 civilians were killed in shelling of the government-held port of Mariupol by pro-Russian rebels on Saturday, shattering a five-month ceasefire.
The ministers are expected to extend until the end of 2015 asset freezes and travel bans imposed on dozens of Ukrainian and Russian people and organizations following Moscow's annexation of Crimea last March, according to a draft statement seen by Reuters. More names will be added to the list within a week.
OMG Merkel with the 3-D glasses....hahahahahha... exquisite...who thinks of this?
Not me ;-)
When does the match get lit?
I imagine Putin has a doomsday financial weapon and he will use it at an optimal moment. They have no clue what kind of intellect they are fucking around with.
Power is positional, not just the number of pieces on the board. Timing is also of great consequence.
We know the cabal is in its weakest position, and time is not on their side.
With Putin, they have created a focused opponent at the worst time.
Imagine the West freaking out if the Greek Communists go with Russia and to a lesser extent, the PRC.
ZATO is striking in Ukraine. What about a Russian military presence in Greece at the underbelly of ZATO?
Remember, Greece is Orthodox like Russia, and Greece has always been able to pivot west or east.

I'm still trying to get over Nina Hagen. Very interesting gal!
I remember her from the 80s so I was floored by this. She was 60 when she did this in 2004.
feels like she came out of the LA punk rock scene in the early 80s. bands like X.
East Berlin, Poland and Paris
Just another thank you for the art and for links to things I saw but ignored at the time...should have paid more attention.
Your welcome ;-)
Humm? According to wikipedia she is only 59. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_Hagen
55, year of the sheep, a good year.
And now we may as well go all the way…
She does a great Joplin. Excellent.
