ask the experts in your regularly scheduled programming

I know it has been a while since I have asked why do we trust 'experts' to give us our opinions? I mean here's one expert we can't trust to give us a copy of her diploma, so what else might she lie about, hmm? I am an expert in one thing, and that is knowing better than to call myself an expert at anything even if I do know that Egypt borders neither Syria, nor Iran:

Iraq'ed my brain trying to figure out what's not right here...

I mean, experts came up with the idea that NAFTA would be good for Canadian consumers via lower prices, but instead we get this kind of thing happening. These kinds of things usually end poorly, yet we still have politicians negotiating TPP, CETA, & FIPA (oops, too late on FIPA) behind closed doors... If there really was some concern on their part, for foreign investors, then there would be a whole lot of people in prison for all those Triple-A rated junk bonds known as Mortgage Backed Securities which were purchased by the American taxpayer, rather than prosecuted. Nobody has gone to jail for that, but somehow, we now have swat teams sent out to establish who pissed in the pool, or something along that vein.

Do we really need an expert to tell us that 'bus boy' is such a complex career choice that it should have unpaid internships associated with it? How twisted and backwards do things need to be before everybody realizes that we left the boundaries of anything even resembling normal a long time ago, and that the only way to get back to normal is by stopping the rank-in-file march into insanity.

I know it's hard to hear oneself think over the 'regularly scheduled programming', which is why you should start in a small and targeted way, like, for example, "why do they call it programming?" seems like as good a place to begin to question things as any, does it not? Eventually that single question leads to a "Could they really be this blatantly NOT hiding this 'program' from the 'programmed'?" at some point down the line... I mean, the word "program" itself seems to have some very interesting meanings, most of which pertain to 'plans of action', 'encoding operating instructions', 'inserting instructions', 'causing automatic responses', or "a radio or television production".... Hmmm, that's interesting, isn't it?

Olympic bullshitting competition and other égarements linguistiques

So the quebec government has succeeded in getting us divided on a non-issue while we stop talking about real issues, well, at least some of us as there is still the occasional editorial and open letter here and there. But these are still taking time and effort away from discussing the fact that Quebec is now shedding 5000 jobs a month, and that giant craters are opening up and swallowing backhoes in the middle of downtown Montreal. Of course, this all goes towards a goal of evacuating the province of all those who are affected by this 'dress code' because these are not people who make up the desired demographic of morons who would vote for an independent Quebec that uses Canadian dollars (oxymoron intended). I am aware that outside of Montreal and Quebec City there is a large population of backwoods hicks who have never even seen a muslim except for those being labelled as a terrorist on the evening 'nouvelles', and who can't speak a word of "da H'english" save for having a "craque dans le windshield" or "un flatte dans le ti'er", or who eat at their backyard BBQ "les 'ot dogs et les 'amburgers" (note to non-Quebec readers: Quebec Francophones speaking English cannot pronounce "H" when it's at the beginning of a word, but somehow add an "H" to the beginning of any word starting with a vowel, without some level of practice). I mean it isn't like they are planning to remove the Catholic found just about everywhere... Majority of Quebec townships and streets are "Saint(e)" something-or-other, but that's OK because this is part of Quebec's heritage (of double standards). I mean, really, this doesn't even ban opening prayers at municipal council meetings, separation of church and state my ass...

♫♪ don't worry, be fucking hostile ♫♪


Quite obviously we are asking the wrong questions of politicians when we ask them not to raise tuitions, or fix the roads, or stop bullshitting us about how they are going to fix the economy by giving money to corrupt bastards, who are, at the same, time stealing money... What we need to ask them is why we are using these people as if they were simply a ratings agency, when they are OUR bank, meaning we own it and even if they were to charge interest that would be interest we earn instead of them, because their profits, don't seem to hold any bearing on the real economy, and they certainly don't help the poorest of people, as those are not the people eligible for 'low interest loans' if they were eligible for loans at all. Not that I am advocating digging a deeper hole in the effort of climbing out of a hole, but, sometimes when one cannot find employment, they might need money to try to invent their own employment.

a cartoonish super-villain doing the dishes in a rainbow-bright robe

I think the Vladimir Putin looked at the cartoonish super-villain portrait much of the western media has painted of him and pondered deeply about how he might be able to get that touched up by PRISMACOLOR into an even more cartoonish hue. So he banned gay propagandizing... I'm not really taking sides on this issue, and am by no means homophobic, but from a point of logic: there is not one single occurrence of a 'hetero-pride' parade that I can recall ever hearing about. Maybe it's that nobody feels that a school of sea bass in the open sea is as visually appealing as 10 variants of tropical fish trapped together in a salt-water tank, or maybe there simply has never been any agenda meant to promote procreation as a means of species propagation (unless I am simply in the wrong country). I suppose in the end I don't see why straight sex is still such a taboo subject while being gay is something to be openly proud of. It's a world of double-standards from that perspective... I fuck women, and as such there is zero celebration, but if I fucked men there's an an(nu)al parade... Not that I need a parade concerning whomever I choose to fuck because I consider such things to be nobody else's damned business in the first place so long as the other participant involved was both coherent and willing... But go on and paint bizarrely homosexual crimes as homophobic ones if you want to. I see someone ass-raping someone else with beer bottles and torturing their man meat and I doubt a truly homophobic person would approach either act with a 10-foot dildo.

Wow dirty, tell us how you really feel...

the walmartization of debt slavery

The war on whistleblowers has crossed the border into Canada, though I fail to see 'national security' being cited in this case. Maybe I simply have not put on my creative thinking cap yet, owing to the fact that I am presently waiting on the coffee maker... Oh, wait, I have it... They need to save a half million (per fraud auditor) to fix the sea kings, even though EI is not 'claimed' to be part of the general tax pool, and because the Sea Kings are part of the Coast Guard: National Security threat... and the Coffee is brewed, maybe I can math now.... IE has a maximum duration of 45 weeks and a maximum payout of $501 per week meaning someone reaching both maximums will have earned $22 545 from EI, so each 'fraud investigator' needs to kick a minimum of 21 people off per year, though not everybody gets the maximum (for example the government has been kind enough to provide examples, and I don't know how Sarah does it... single mom with 3 kids on 29k a year?!!), so I would put the number closer to 30.

transplanted talking heads

Every once in awhile I come across something that really makes my mind wander... Not to other bodies, mind you, but to the to the question as to whether this is the ticket to immortality for some future dystopia in which the Emperor of Earth lives for over a thousand years by grafting his head onto a, 18 year old clone of himself every couple of decades... I'm neither a doctor, nor scientist so I am not really certain about the semantics involved... I'll try to hope that the brain eventually gets old and dies rather than to continue to think about the horrors of being ruled by someone who's had alzheimer's for the last 600 years...

Let's move on to something a little more here and now, shall we?

If this doesn't make you think, it's possible your brain is malfunctioning.

When will I wake?

I've been thinking lately about this 'grand awakening' that is frequently spoken of throughout underground media circles because I've been curious as to when my own point of contention with this fabricated world actually started. The trouble is, I can't actually define any single point in time.

Certainly 9/11 popped the small bubble that I had going on at the time, which was such:

  • I was working a great job with a promising future at a company that the vast majority of employees would work at until retirement age.
  • I was about to buy my first house
  • I was dating my future ex-wife

None of these things equated to my believing that politicians might ever say an honest word. I already realized that this 'mortgage' I was about to begin, and it's usurious interest was essentially a massive tax on my not being abundantly wealthy. I had a great mistrust for police and other authority figures. I already agreed that Palestine deserved the right to exist, and that Israel needed to stop inciting all the violence. I was already anti-war, anti-consumerism, anti-unrestricted-capitalism, Agnostic (though more recently I think I might have been Gnostic the whole time), and was a conspiracy theorist (who was not fond of the label even then) who did not believe the official stories behind things like JFK and others.

World War ∞

Was there ever any doubt that a new cold war was approaching? I know that maybe it was under the radar of all that hot war that's been going on since the CIA and Mossad did 9/11, because that played out it's intended purpose so perfectly which was to usher in a new era where freedom comes at the cost of having your genitals groped, or having to whip out ID for simply sitting on a park bench.

photocopying a replica of a forgery of an original counterfeit authenticated as a genuine fake

I've made no large secret of the fact that I do not much believe in 'prayer' as advocated and prescribed by so many a commandeered religion, but that does not mean that my non-prayers are unanswered. Occasionally, I do get what I've asked for, or a reasonable facsimile so long as I'm not being unreasonably selfish. While I take some comfort in these small victories, I do not allow them to lull me into any sense of security because I know 'Security' is a counterfeit word trying to emulate an emotion which never truly was. Some of these victories, are really only an admission of what everybody already knew, which is not actually a victory at all, since, they serve to draw everybody back into the system in the thought that 'sometimes the system actually works'. Circular logic, I know, but one does not have to stare into history very far or long to see it's circular patterns emerge.

Of course, sometimes, things are simply put up as road blocks meant to trap you in the wrong place for a while, and others are outright distractions put out there by those who choose to see monsters everywhere. It's true that I think most things public servants do are against public interests, but, I have yet to see such a generalized statement as being incorrect. I am not going to call myself a psychic for being able to read between the lies, though I might be an 'empath' for seeing the lies in the first place. Then again, it could be much more simplistic math at play that 75% of everything 'official' is a lie, so I will make no claim on divinity.

Lowest common dominatrices

So there are yet more numbers games being played in the 3-card-monte of economic development. It's funny just how sterile it all becomes when real numbers are eliminated: 20% will hire, 5% will lay-off and 75% will do nothing.

While it looks good on paper that 15% increased jobs are the net balance of this meaningless equation, it is decidedly worthless data because we are not told if 20% of 1900 companies will hire 1 person or 20 people nor if 5% plan to terminate 1 or 20 people. Think about it for a second, if 380 companies are hiring 1 person while 95 companies are terminating 20 employees the total new jobs are -1520, while if those hiring are going to take on 20 new employees while those terminating will do away with only one there are 7505 new jobs... That's a 9025 person gap and I am just making random well-rounded numbers. Even taking things at a 1:1 ratio a whopping 285 jobs are created in a country of 34.5 million people. When stacked against the absurdly false 'reported unemployment rate' of 7% there are 2,415,000 unemployed people in Canada, which none of my imaginary numbers even dent more than 0.31%.

Stoned in bankrupt nation

The so-called "experts" have started with their warnings (although, they're still pretty tame and toothless at this point)... After 'a period week economic growth' I suspect we'll find ourselves in a 'short period of moderate economic slowdown' followed by a 'mild recession' and ending with 'you should have bought gold in 1990'... But don't worry, the housing bubble hasn't collapsed because other experts are suggesting we'll have to wait ten years before a two bedroom condo becomes affordable... I am not surprised by any of it, and I'm sure I've mentioned these things before. Quite simply put: there is no way that debt as a currency compounded by interest can maintain status quo indefinitely.

one for you 385 for me


That is quite the income gap... I'm pretty certain Canada's math is similar these days.

Fuel surcharge consumerism in the land of wrung out pelicans

Well, the last piece of the puzzle fell into place for me just recently in that movie "collusion" which I posted a couple of days ago. Not that my opinions on money, banking, the elite, nor the ruling class have been altered greatly, unless you wish to add stupid to evil...

In fact most of my opinions have not changed on topics like 'climate change' not having anything to do with human activity, or economics being about creating false scarcities where none exist, or corruption and greed being the current drive of the legal, political, medical, corporate, and agricultural realms... All recent wars are still all about money, oil, or other natural resources that 'local' governments are not willing to hand over to international corporate hegemonic interests. The media still lies about anything they can think to lie to us about in the name of keeping us docile and eager to consume. And capitalism is still a thinly veiled consumerism all about owning the latest over-priced garbage engineered to break 15 seconds after the warranty expires.

The spaghetti incident

There was much ado about pasta this week, until there wasn't. I don't have any real beef with this, unless it's still horse, because I understand the charade. It's intended that we expend all of our anger on such stupidities before noticing who's hand is really in our pockets. The real politics is that there is not really any politics in reality. Right, left, both are completely off balance and meant to keep your eyes from focusing on center stage. They've both continuously failed to replace the burnt out bulb in the spotlight meant for center stage purposefully. True the purpose behind trapping the French among their own ignorance might appear anti-globalist, but, most globalist plans need cannon-fodder, and who better than those who refuse to learn the international language of business: Chinese. Or was that corruption?

The invisible people

I know I haven't been around much lately... I have not fallen off the edge of the world, or did I? I guess maybe I have ended up in some kind of limbo. My employer and I parted ways 2 weeks ago, as my gestapo had stepped on my last nerve, and I broke stuff, literally, stuff got broken. The trouble is that I do not have any idea if there are 'employment insurance benefits' forthcoming or not...

It is possible I fell right off the map from 'gainfully employed' to dregs of society whom are not counted in any statistic whatsoever... Because if I do not qualify for employment insurance, I have not landed in the bucket of Canada's unemployed, but rather end up straight in the gutter. I don't much care one way or the other and I am not asking anyone's pity, I simply find it interesting that I might truly have become nobody overnight. Again, I don't take issue at being nobody, especially if it means that the telemarketers will stop calling because that would be a huge bonus.

But then even if I do qualify for these benefits I've payed into for the past five years uninterrupted, I might be forced to spend 4 hours a day on the bus to ask 'do you want fries with that?' thanks to a government I did not vote for...

And don't give me that bullshit that the ones I did vote for could have screwed me over too, because wasted the ballot by putting X's of equal size next to every candidate on the ballot. I would have voted 'none of the above' had I been presented with that option. That option does not exist here out of fear that 'none of the above' might win by a landslide... And then, all of these politicians would suddenly become nobody overnight, because we fired them.

brainwashed wage slaves, unite!

Now and then, an encouraging piece of information surfaces that proves that all is not right with the world, and more and more people are waking up to it. I know this is causing panic in the upper echelons of the present control structure, because they rely so heavily on the illusion that 'they are concerned for our well-being' despite all evidence to the contrary. Sooner or later (hopefully sooner) the pendulum will be ready to swing back against them with the full force justice deserves, which, technically has already begun but does not have proper momentum yet.

Protecting the recepticals

There's an odd synchronicity going on right now. I sit here wondering what to write yet, I am already typing. I have no idea what I am going to talk about today yet somehow it will find me, and if it doesn't I can still republish things I've already pointed out in the past because I don't think enough attention has been focused on the topic. I could draw attention to things happening now, whether they are good or bad, and that it's the same tired faces which appear over and over again.

Over the past two decades my opinions have changed on a great many things, so I'm obviously not on some single and close-minded crusade. So why do some people never change their tune over the same two decades? For me, as I look into things and think about what I've read or been told, a certain level of clarity sets in. I can even go so far as to ridicule my previous stance on a topic when I understand that I was incorrect in my prior assumptions, and now have more facts to prove the opposing side of my own arguments. I'd probably make a horrible politician, but that would hardly be enough for me to blend in with all the other horrible politicians, namely all of them, but I'd at least attempt to stand up to the bankers if I were a politician. I know that has a tendency to end badly, but I would do it all the same regardless of the outcome.

Spooning with the fishes

I suppose this should start with the big surprise of the day's news, which was there are no big surprises. How does one of Canada's largest and and most valuable companies lose everything and not find anyone to blame for it? Is it justice that a company goes from approximately 93000 employees in 2000 to bankrupt in just over a decade and nobody is found guilty of any wrong doing? Billions of dollars in reserve cash, vanished into thin air...

Again, let me restate that I am not surprised by this... It all fits into the program where psychopaths have each others backs. Carpe Diem and don't shit where you eat. Vikings of the modern era own the governments and legislatures, the false paradigm of competition vs. law and order seem to have all signed their non-competition agreements with one another and even pay each other with my money while claiming it isn't what it is.

The Pseudology of the modern world

I've read a very odd argument to counter this trillion dollar coin idea in the last couple of days. It isn't really about fiscal immaturity or immediate currency deflation (which are plausible arguments), but rather focuses on the value and availability of platinum... Obviously this argument is fundamentally flawed and is out there as a strawman to further confuse those who already do not understand currency. Here's why: does a $50 bill contain $45 more worth of ink or or paper than a $5 dollar bill? NO. Did a $50 dollar bill cost $45 more to manufacture than a $5 dollar bill? NO. So what makes it worth more? The number printed on it... the addition of a zero increases it's value by a factor of ten. Beyond that, all that is required is that it is recognized to be legal tender. Society's imagination makes up the rest of the value.

If we all believe that a $50 dollar bill is worth 10 times the value of a $5 dollar bill, then it must be so.

You see, a trillion dollar coin could be smaller than a dime and made out of plastic or egg shells or pain-stakingly glued together used coffee grinds just so long as the government chooses to back it's value.

--BUT--
