I wrote a reply to a comment by Marie3 in TarheelDem’s recent post Byzantine Palace Indeed. I had cautioned her:
Marie…
Do not delude yourself into thinking that anything any of us say on this little outlier’s blog will make a damned bit of difference in terms of millions killed/ injured/lives ruined and trillions of dollars wasted that could be put to better use improving this country. The war machine allied with other big money/wasted effort forces has a death grip on this society, its economy and its political system, and only total failure will change that position.
And she replied:
If a butterfly flaps its wings …
Granted all monarch butterflies would be no match for a single MOAB dropped on their winter retreat, but still…
It is a heartfelt, mostly positive response, but it got me to thinking.
Here is what appeared.
Read on.
The real “MOAB?”
The whole of the PermaGov media and educational trance systems.
The Mother Of All Bullshit!!!
Nothing like it has ever been seen.
It makes the Roman Catholic Church at its peak of power look like child’s play. Ditto any other control system ever invented and implemented to control populations.
Unlike any other that has ever existed, it can turn on a dime and almost none of its subjects even notice. They just swallow the contradictory bullshit and go on about their obedient lives.
Brilliant!!!
The latest example?
Sure.
The ongoing rebranding of Trump now that he has signalled that he will kowtow to the centrist Defense/Armament powers.
All of those Google News Top Stories headlines screaming about how he had been bought-and-sold by the Russians?
You remember, right? About two weeks ago at its height? It went on for months!!!
Gone.
Vanished.
Disappeared.
Not a negative word about Trump or any of his accomplices…errr, ahhh… associates.
In its place?
Trump the Statesman.
Any uproar from the populace?
Hell no!!!
Like the good little sheeple that they are, they’re doing what they have been told to do. And the capper? They don’t even know that they are being led!!!
They have been advertised into total credulity.
So it goes in the United State(s) of Omertica.
Gotta hand it to the controllers.
They’re good at their job.

The only thing that will get some people’s attention is when the $$ runs out and that will happen sooner or later. The controllers are quite talented, but so were the people who built the Titanic and steered it. However, the little mistakes resulted in a disaster over time. For some reason, the music from Titanic has been playing in my head.
Yeah.
Mine too.
The musicians went down with the ship, you know.

Marie3 posted a reply on that same “Byzantine Palace Indeed” thread linked above.
In it, she said:
I resonded:
Please read this:

Berlesconi, perhaps a better fit for Trump than Caligula. Berlesconi liked the young girls too (it’s legal in Italy).
I hope Marie3, mino and Karl Pearson read it too. It’s very apropos with what they have been saying, particularly mino & Karl.
Thank you, Voice.
I will.
AG
Exactly!!!
Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are trying to do precisely that.
Oppose on the issues.
And failing.
Why?
1-They are outnumbered and outmoneyed in the DNC.
2-The media…the so-called left-centrist media particularly…oppose Trump mostly on behavioral grounds. (When they do oppose him…an increasingly rare phenomenon as he gains “War President” stature. So it goes. Business usual in Omertica. War business.)
My posts The Trump Problem. You Cannot Laugh A Clown Offstage. (July, 2015) and Trump-You Cannot Laugh A Clown Offstage. Pt. II (January, 2016)…and many more that I have made since the Trump phenomenon became a serious threat…made precisely that point.
Snark is weak. It is a weakling’s weapon. i have no use whatsoever for MSNBC, SNL, the late night shows and the various snarky media outlets that continue to “oppose” Trump by ridiculing him. They are preaching to a millennial/yupster choir, and that choir is paying them royally for the privilege.
The privilege of losing!!!
Idiots!!!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch…
The major leftiness, rightiness and centriness media continue to potshot at the single most admired politician in the U.S. today, Bernie Sanders.
Why…you’d almost think that they don’t want him to effectively oppose what is happening here!!!
Oh.
Nevermind.
I forgot.
They’d rather deal with Trump.
Why?
He’ll play ball.
That’s why.
Yore freind…
Emily Litella
P.S. Meanwhile the centrist fools here continue to try to downrate people who are simply trying to point out the game.
Unbelievable.
But true.
I have now posted the above comment as a standalone post. You Cannot Laugh A Clown Offstage, Pt. 3. ESPECIALLY When The Stage Is Presidential.
Please comment there.
Thank you…
