Is the Fourth Estate a Fifth Column?

Friday 11 July 2008

by: Bill Moyers, In These Times

Corporate media colludes with democracy’s demise.

I heard this story a long time ago, growing up in Choctaw County in Oklahoma before my family moved to Texas. A tribal elder was telling his grandson about the battle the old man was waging within himself. He said, “It is between two wolves, my son. One is an evil wolf: anger, envy, sorrow, greed, self-pity, guilt, resentment, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is the good wolf: joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The boy took this in for a few minutes and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf won?”

The old Cherokee replied simply, “The one I feed.”

Six hours of sleep? I’d PAY for a full six hours of sleep.

One would think that if the Hedonistic Pleasureseeker were a Muppet she would be Miss Piggy, yes? But one would be oh so wrong.

Surely she has her bitchy and grand Miss Piggy moments, having pretty much nailed the seventh and most deadly sin VANITY. However, depending on the time of the month she is also a female version of either Gonzo or Beaker: Adorably weird and introspective, or a babbling freakout mess, usually over world events she can do absolutely nothing about.

The coming demise of the American economy via the debauching of our dollar currency (see: HYPERINFLATION and STAGFLATION) will soon provide the Hedonistic Pleasureseeker plenty of nothing for which to express much ado. It will take a freaking miracle to save us now. Perhaps instead of Blogging the Apocalypse the Hedonistic Pleasureseeker would be better off with a martini and a mild sedative?

I love Schoolhouse Rock! If it weren’t for the producers of these videos I’d know NOTHING about American history. Seriously, Americans: Did your primary school education do American history justice? Mine neither, but at least I had Schoolhouse Rock. This one is my favorite, “Preamble:”

“Operation Puppy Love”

1. You woke up in a strange place.

(Read the rest here, it’s very cute. Happy Hump Day!)

Bad Kitty Dress has been returned. Instead I bought a more classic version of the kittyprint cocktail dress and it was 1/3 the price of the other one! Good Kitty!

I have to get it tailored, though. I bought a size larger than normal to better cover the boobage but now the bodice and skirt are too loose, making me look wider than I really am on the bottom. It’s a quick fix, but if I send it to the tailor now I won’t get it back for at least 2 weeks! That’s how busy the man is.

SO much is going on, in my life and on the world stage, but I am too tired to write about any of it just yet. My house smells like litterbox and looks as though a bomb hit it. Let me pay my bills, take this business test and write this finance paper; then we’ll talk.

There is something about this predatory dress that screams TOO MUCH COUGAR TRYING TOO HARD!!! Back to the boutique it goes . . . good thing I didn’t take off the tags . . .

Lesson for the Day: NEVER shop for clothes if you are sexually aroused AND have bad PMS. What was I thinking?

(Kitty likes her meat RAWR!)

I used to hate to cook. Just thinking about cooking made me feel tired and depressed; even when I was a stay-at-home mom I couldn’t bring myself to do more than the minimum.

“What’s for dinner?” My ex would say.

“I dunno, whatcha making?”

I had a mental block against cooking because I always had the feeling my mother hated it. I don’t know if it’s true; it just seemed such a repetitive chore. Same with my hardworking grandmothers who spend their whole lives in their kitchens and their gardens: By the time they cleaned up from one meal it was time to start the next. Had I lived a life like theirs I think I might have stuck my head in an oven set to “broil.”

(Kittyprint prep bowls found at a kitchen outlet)

But outdoor cooking is different, right? It’s fun, like camping. Believe it or not I went to survivalist school as a kid; in Minnesota this is what they call a “school trip.” I’m glad I did it: I can start a fire in the rain using only one match (hint: use birch bark).

Also, my first long-term boyfriend, whom I’ll call Tipi Guy, taught me how to catch and scale fish. He was a Norwegian lumberjack who wanted to be a Lakota native in the worst way, and through our work on the local reservations I learned how to cook “Indian style,” which in the 1980’s meant frybread with canned blueberries, grilled walleye, and wild rice soup.

(Marinated London Broil)

Tipi-guy hated that I loved my meat rare, and by rare I mean RAW. Once I spent almost fifty dollars on two antelope steaks and ate mine with my bare hands before he even lit the campfire. I got really bad marks on that day. Submissive “native wife” was a job I didn’t want and failed the interview for anyway, especially after the flyfishing “incident” that I won’t go into. Suffice it to say he married the girl who didn’t try to kill him.

That was the last time I cooked on a regular basis. Bunny got her dietary variety from living in three places: Mine, her father’s and her grandmother’s. It’s a good thing because otherwise Bunny’s idea of cooking would be instant oatmeal.

But I digress! I fired up a grill tonight for the first time in five years! Usually I leave the grilling to whatever manly man crosses my threshold. I tried to light my gas grill once on my own and I practically blew up the neighborhood because I left the lid on when I pushed the ignition. I got rid of that menace in favor of a little Coleman charcoal grill (a gift from my stepfather). It sat around for over a year gathering dust. But looky! My first try, with a London Broil I’d been marinating in a red pepper rub for two days. I didn’t time it or anything and it STILL turned out perfect. I paired it with a mess of greens pulled right out of my garden. Mmmm yummy

(Is THIS the global warming that killed off the dinosaurs?)

“The liberal’s preoccupation with social “problems” and the Club of Rome’s obsession with entropy are essentially expressions of the Second School view. Change, the fundamental motion of the universe, is bad.”

- J. Orlin Grabbe, The Systems Method: Bilderberg and Club of Rome

Before I begin this PMDD-addled rant, let me es’plain: I’m a Green. I’m progressive minded. I drive a hybrid car, compost, recycle, grow my own food, and buy organic and sustainably when I can. I even distill my own drinking water!  I’m 100% on board with reducing my “carbon footprint” for the sake of everyone else on the planet, because I believe there is enough energy to go around if we do the fair thing and not act like a bunch of pigs. Actually, comparing U.S. hoarding of natural resources to natural porcine behavior is an insult to pigs everywhere, but it’s the only metaphor I can think of right now.

That said, the “global warming” and “peak oil” scams are gonna git it from me this month. I’ve had it with our corporatist overlords lying to the People in order to push it’s murderous and self-serving agenda of Total Control of Everything, Everywhere. It’s a pathology: These people need psychiatric help. Failing that they need to up and DIE already; God knows the Club of Rome and Bilderberger originals are rickety old Globalist Gasbags who REALLY need to retire, like NOW.

(Time to retire, assholes.)

An example of globalist elitists purposely and deceptively misleading the public can be found in the Club of Rome’s The Limits to Growth, which sold nine million copies in 29 languages. This treatise rocked the world with its dire forecasts. Four years later the Club said that the conclusions of the first report were not correct and that they purposely misled the public in order to “awaken” public concern. (Source: Julian Simon, The Ultimate Resource, and I’m including his C.V., pluse defense against his Malthusian critics here, just for fun.)

The truth of the matter is that Humanity would do JUST FINE without the meddling by Bilderberger Buggers and the Caligulas at the Club of Rome. We the People have the wherewithal to see that every single person on this family has access to food and care, so what’s the problem? THEY are the problem, because they 1) Hoard and control the vast majority of the world’s resources, and 2) use access to the world’s natural resources, including food, as weapons.

NOW, on with my rant . . .

I FART IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION

According to the U.N., farts are a much bigger “threat” to “global warming” than cars, which makes the thinking person wonder just who the UN thinks is the enemy here.

Oh wait! The Global Gasbags at the Malthusian Club of Rome identified the enemy decades ago: Mankind’s very existence must be curtailed for the sake of the environment.

But only black, brown, red and yellow people, mind you. The low birth rates of white people in Europe have supposedly reached “crisis” proportions. Meanwhile the birth rates in colonial territories are a “threat to national security.”

THE NATIONAL SECURITY Of WHITE PEOPLE

(Image from an article from the Advocate on eugenics in Connecticut, U.S.A.)

The environmentalist movement was formed by Sir Julian Huxley who was the founder of the Eugenics Society AND the World Wildlife Fund. Huxley was a top eugenicist from a very eugenics-friendly family. After eugenics was stripped of its good name in the post-World War II world, Huxley coined the term “transhumanism” to encompass eugenical beliefs inside a general belief in human “advancement” through scientific processes.

A number of other notable World Wildlife Fund heads may reveal some of the agenda at hand. Prince Bernhard, of the Netherlands, for instance served as the first president of the fund from 1962-1976. He not only founded the corporatist (read: Fasicst) Bilderberg group– a shadowy organization that is pursuing world government and heavily influences the agenda of nearly every nation in the Western world– Bernhard was also a former Nazi SS officer.

(I don’t care for the shrieky controlled opposition Alex Jones, but this excerpt pretty much sums it up: The recently declassified information from Australia pertaining to race-based bioterror is part of the reason Asia is now hip to the Bilderberger eugenics-based scams.)

Then there’s His Royal Virus, Nazi sympathizer and Club of Rome fixture Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. He wants to come back as a virus to cull the earth of the “undesireables;” i.e., the so-called “excess” human population. He does not seemed to have kept it inside his OWN pants, however, as the Duke has several children and grandchildren of his own. But he’s an Important Person, and he’s Whitey, so he’s off the hook.

(People of Color UNITE! Eat a Hamburger for Diversity!)

Take note that “Global Warming” and the unrestrained gobbling of the world’s natural resources was just OKIDOKE so long Whitey was the only one doing it. Once non-whites (China, India, South America, etc.) developed booming economies and started claiming energy for themselves, including driving cars and eating meat, all of a sudden Whitey had a “problem.”

(Damn straight Whitey has a problem: COMPETITION!)

The Western World, aka the New Rome, is in decline and headed to the dustheap of history. WAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH. Whiney Whitey. Expect a never-ending series of news articles and think tank papers proposing “solutions” that at their core are really about maintaining, or restoring, Whitey’s ascendancy on the world stage.

The following video is a prime example of hysterical “Peak Oil” scaremongering. In fact, there is no shortage of oil — the reserves are increasing, not decreasing. Consider the following examples: In 2006, Chevron announced a huge oil discovery in the the Lower Tertiary zone of the Gulf of Mexico, described as “one of the nation’s biggest oil discoveries in decades,” and Brazil discovered giant new offshore oil fields in 2005 (expected to produce 773 million barrels of oil by 2025). Add to this BP’s discovery of new oil fields near the Shetland Islands, recent discoveries in the Timor Sea, Yemen, Tunisia, Libya, offshore Trinidad, in Pakistan, Angola, in the Ordovician Red River Strata of southeastern Saskatchewan, and elsewhere. Earlier this month, the Kurds of northern Iraq announced a major oil find, estimated at about 2 billion barrels. In the last 20 years, known reserves have doubled. Currently there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 680 billion barrels of Middle East reserve oil alone. Add to this an “intriguing theory now permeating oil company research staffs suggests that crude oil may actually be a natural inorganic product, not a stepchild of unfathomable time and organic degradation. The theory suggests there may be huge, yet-to-be-discovered reserves of oil at depths that dwarf current world estimates,” writes Chris Bennett (see Lindsey Williams interview below). “Deeply entrenched in our culture is the belief that at some point in the relatively near future we will see the last working pump on the last functioning oil well screech and rattle, and that will be that. The end of the Age of Oil. And unless we find another source of cheap energy, the world will rapidly become a much darker and dangerous place.” It is a meticulously nurtured myth.

Peak Oil takes a page from publicly available CFR and Club of Rome strategy manuals that say global government needs to control the world population through neo-feudalism by creating artificial scarcity that will result in massive social unrest, widespread famine, and endless war. $15 a gallon gas will most certainly help this agenda along.

(The Hedonistic Pleasureseeker Farts at the Club of Rome’s general direction)

Whitey will fail. Why? Because the rest of the world is on to the Global Elitist Agenda, that’s why, and they’re not falling for it.

That the members of the Club of Rome and associated think tanks are the spawn of the Eugenics Movement should give pause to decent people. What’s the REAL agenda of our global elitists? Oh that’s easy; they’re not even hiding it!

“It would seem that humans need a common motivation, namely a common adversary, to organize and act together in the vacuum; such a motivation must be found to bring the divided nations together to face an outside enemy, either a real one or else one invented for the purpose.

New enemies therefore have to be identified.

New strategies imagined, new weapons devised.

The common enemy of humanity is man.”

- Club of Rome, 1991

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED:

ANNOUNCING THE END OF THE BUSH/CLINTON DYNASTY

I’M STILL VOTING FOR RON PAUL, BUT DAMN THIS IS STILL GOOD NEWS! NOW IF THE CLINTONS HAVE ANY SENSE GOD SEEMS TO HAVE FORGOTTEN TO GIVE THIS POOR CAT THEY WILL FLY AWAY TO A COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT EXTRADITE. PERHAPS ISRAEL OR SOUTH AFRICA WILL TAKE THEM.

(See the History of Political Parties wall art)

BOTTOM LINE: NO HUMAN BEING IS ABOVE THE LAW. THE WAR CRIMES TRIBUNALS ARE A COMIN’ AND THE BUSH/CLINTON CABAL IS GOING DOWN IN FLAMES. GRAB SOME POPCORN WATCH THE SHOW AND PARTY DOWN, BUT DON’T FORGET: THE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIST CABAL ALREADY HAS IT’S HAND UP OBAMA’S ASS AND IS READY TO PLAY PUPPETEER TOWARD IT’S PREDETERMINED NEW WORLD ORDER, AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR SOVEREIGNTY AND OUR LIVELIHOODS. HOW WILL WE STOP THEM?

Weather permitting, the Hedonistic Pleasureseeker always drives barefoot. These are patent kittyprint slingback pumps by Luciano Padovan, comparable to Casadei or Giuseppe Zanotti in price/quality. Found mine on superduper (80%) clearance of course. Now if only this Dolce & Gabbana bag would go on superduper sale, too. Like, 90% off because it’s the only way I could afford it!
