* Masopher’s Mind

Obama for Puppet!

I have to weigh in for Obama before the results come out. I do feel like Obama is the most worthy candidate and the candidate that America needs. But I also know that Obama is the only candidate that the status quo wants to win.

 

Obama has been on the take from even before he became a senator. A bright young man made the right contacts said the right words and got donors like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Iraqi Telephone magnates like Nadhmi Auchi signing checks to him. More cautious donors used big banks like Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers to invest in his rise to power.

 

Obama has been so successful with lobbyists that the next step was to go for presidency and true to form checks were again signed in excess of a billion dollars to blanket the United States with advertisements for his candidacy. If there ever was a time to prove that elections cannot be bought it will not be this one because Obama has outspent McCain by almost 4 to 1. Even if McCain and Palin were anything other than mudslinging, backward troglodytes their message would not be heard because of the sheer onslaught of Obama’s re-used but meaning less message:  si se puede! Yes we can! Bleated during John Kerry’s bid bleated by unions for a decade but somehow forgotten until now by short sighted America.

 

If Obama was an outsider I would also fear for the uncertainty he heralds, but in truth the University of Chicago Professor has been deep in the pockets of all the right people and he will do the will of all the right people. McCain who was trounced by GW 8 years ago trounced by Koreans decades ago will most likely get trounced again and fade into the background of the senate. An outsider and loser.

 

A modern American President by default has to be a corporate and political puppet. He is the mouth piece of the American intelligentsia and capitalist interest and the man that the majority of the people (the democracy) look up to lead them. Witnessing actor Ronald Reagan, scandelous Clinton and Gaffe prone “W”, one can only note the President’s intrinsic entertainment factor. He is there to laugh at, love and hate while the real brains get on with making and keeping America great. The Congress and big businesses drive politics and commerce of the country he is, again by definition, “the executive”.   

 

Hopefully those who once looked upon the United States and the President for leadership and inspiration may do so again. George W Bush has done much to tear the shroud of ignorance that hid the menace of this superpower; but all great powers are menacing and bent on keeping status quo, it is up to the President to use meaningless platitudes like “change” to soothe the transition of penis into rectum.

 

Obama was and has been anointed to win. With the people, politics and businesses behind him, a loss would mean that there is in truth a sinister and hidden subjugative factor that conspiracy theorists have nightmares about. It also would mean that racism is alive and well and that America deserves all manner of ill that may befall it. God bless America and the puppet that must dance in front of it. Barak Allah Feek Barak.

Women are not weak

I love women and I especially love strong women. My mother was a strong woman who sacrificed to put her kids through school with a less than helpful husband. My partner is a strong woman who has to put up with un-re-tell-able horrors at the office and somehow manages to forgive me despite my being an occasional “cochon”.

 Now here is where Mom and sweetheart need to stop reading.

 Shit like this sets me off.

People who fly the flag of Rosie the Riveter need to take a reality check with the upmost rapidity. Rosie was a propaganda piece just like Uncle Sam, Lord Kitchener Che Guevara and all the other “mindfucks” created in the early 20th Century. It was telling men and women to do what was, at the end of the day, un-natural but useful for politicians and profiteers. Communist propaganda convinced hard working Russian and Ukranian people that laziness was rewarded and that the middleclass was the enemy. UK and US farm boys were taught that killing “the other” was necessary and US farm girls were taught that building weapons of war was “empowering”.

 

Rosie wasn’t riveting another woman, nor was she riveting a dildo or a podium, Rosie was riveting a weapon so that the real leaders and fighters would be free to do what they do best, lead and fight. Rosie was strong all right, but Rosie’s man was risking life and limb for his country not just clocking in 9 to 5 for a blue plate dinner. While Rosie riveted and Johnnie died, Masopher was getting rich and powerful. There is no empowerment in dying. There is no empowerment in working in a factory. Empowerment is getting people to do what you want them to do and making them feel like they are on top of the world for doing it.

 

It all culminates with what Masopher sees as a redneck from the wilderness of America believing that swinging on Rosie the riveters balls will somehow make her vice-president. Propoganda piece or no Rosie stands for hard working Americans pitching in when times were tough, not some Spicegirl concert memento. Rosie ended a day dirty and sweaty hair filled with metal filings, she didn’t spend thousands of contributor dollars on hair and makeup in 2 weeks. If Rosie was Allah, I would have to invoke a jihad on those who profiteer off her image and blaspheme against hard working strong women everywhere.

 

I dont love Obama but I have to agree with him that a pig in makeup, even 22K of makeup is still a pig.

Big government? Not Really. Big administration.

Economists foresee the dawning of an “era” of bigger government in the United States. With an all but inevitable Democratic Whitehouse and an accompanying Democratic Senate/house of representatives the influence of government will become gargantuan. With events like Katrina, and the 2008 financial crash, the existing government sees the opportunity to shore up their numbers and regulate every possible thing they can. The logic behind a big government is to intervene and save people from themselves and from each other: “Bankers were too greedy”, “homebuyers were too dumb”, “laws were too lax”. George W. Bush the President who presided over the 3 biggest disasters in recent American History (perhaps in all American history) spent most of his time vacationing before 9/11. After that he was doomed to 8 years of a gaffe filled existence being hated, fighting losing wars and watching his country fall apart. George was hoping that the country would run itself; the White House would have been an extension of his carefree, privileged, National Guard-Arbusto-Governor life.

 

As amazing as that might sound the concept of an oligarchy is not alien or ancient, unfortunately for G.W. lazing around in Texas taking kickbacks from his rich supporters was not to be his fate. With the competence of a tourist being thrust into a warzone Bush waddled lamely through his 8 years as the world advanced in complexity and perceived threat. Russian relationships cooled as Franco-German Europe surged for dominance, and Oil revenue gave the Russians hope. NATO Europe also became more ambitious greedily eyeing former Soviet states while fearing Russian reprisal and “rollback”. African Nations mismanaged and misappropriated billions of donated money while OPEC countries manipulated oil prices. Even in the East, China prepared to unveil itself with India not too far behind. Large companies and groups took advantage of these factors manipulating greed and base emotion to their advantage.

 

Regions and companies have all grown but America has grown comparatively smaller. It has shrunk in good will, power, influence and finance. The George Bush era has pilfered all of that good will, military power, diplomatic influence and money to further the ends of  an Oligarchic class of families barely different from the Gazprom, Chinese Communist Party and BP oligarchs living on the other side of the world; barely discernable from the clans in Pakistan and chieftains in Africa.

 

Democrats now promise a big fat government, children of these Oligarchs and long working administrators filling up newly created job titles and dusty government offices. Papers to stamp, forms to fill, red tape to create, committees to show up for and people to ‘monitor’. Checks and balances, guardians for the guardians, “i” dotters and “t” crossers a lot of people to blame so that when things go wrong (as they must) there will be a lot of papers to stamp, forms to fill out and red tape to cut through and committees to convene before they blame it on the previous administration.

 

The 700 billion bailout is the beginning of the coddling of the nation that the Democrats are so used to. Murdering indigenous people falls onto page three and self indulgence, self pity and self praise become a priority. Even as I write both Democrats and Republicans squawk that “we need to do more”, we need to validate our jobs by worrying about you, because you are too dumb to take care of yourself. “We need to get paid - not for producing, inventing, leading or even thinking - we need to get paid for administrating.”

 

I stand by this thought; it was not the lack of regulation that brought about this stock market crash but the circumvention and breaking of laws, the buying off of government and private sector individuals that were being paid to administrate. I saw this first hand I heard this being done and I do not believe that these were isolated or special cases.

 

Liberal and libertarian voices have been drowned out by:

a)      fearful and mislead people

b)      misleading and corrupt people.

 

It was a free market that brought prosperity to the USA and to Europe a free market that brought prosperity to China and Russia and it will be a free market that would correct any financial woes. The strongest survive and their genes and habits perpetuate, supporting the weak breeds weakness. Thats what big Government is all about, weak people who dont do anything constructive coddling equally weak people who dont want to do anything constructive all riding on the backs of those who are strong.
