Fuck Glenn Beck

Hey guy! 

That's him. Capitalist sympathizer, or maybe Capitalist wanna be, the one, the only, the fag, Glenn Beck.

For those of you who are not familiar (I'll assume everyone is), he does columns and writings for CNN, and probably various combinations of other media which in total amount to the cesspool which is his current career. Books, a buncha of shit, a lot of money, apparently. Fucker might even be retired these days. (And to be fair, cesspool is a bit harsh - Mother fucker has a Scrooge McDuck money bin out back).

Maybe he is hanging out with Rush. You know. Two bitch ass guys, just swimming around in a giant vault, filled with empty prescription pill bottles and gold bars.

As he writes, or talks, whatever the dick is doing, he goes on; normally writing about subjects which are also the mass media's topic of the week, and then tries to put his personal spin on it. Only problem is, his personal spin is shitty and his show sucks. How is it popular? I would say good question, but hey I have even watched it just to scream at my TV like a jack ass and call him a fucking moron.

Several months ago, this also accompanied all of his writings on CNN.com:

Life is great. God damn great. Join me, will you?

That's right. This son of a bitch does his "Hi, 1950's life is great" department store promo smile. Not only does he act like life in every home in America is a great big dream complete with virgins, copious amounts of alcohol and video games, he adds insult to injury by posting his big gay ass smiling face next to his four paragraphs which basically illustrate with words him blowing capitalist Americas dick. I guess it worked out for him - So he owes it to current system, or something.

He is another example of why capitalism doesn't work. Basically preaching self serving to the fullest, while talking about how much he "donates to charities" when arguing with adversaries. Hey asshole - Thanks for donating to a charity of your choosing, but not wanting to pay more taxes. 

Dick.

In a more recent show of bitch ass-ness and naïveté, the asshole actually complains because people treat him differently than they treat some others - Due to his words, actions, and political stances.

Nice job jackass, way to spout off about "personal responsibility" and the like.

It's the same fucking shit with all of these upper echelon people on the right - Everything they talk about it all fine and fucking dandy, until it fucks up their day as it generally fucks up everyone elses.

Hey, I get it. It's easy to be pro-private health care - when you can afford that health care, a nice house, the BMW out front AND long vacations, after all.

Guess what bitch - You get treated a certain way if people don't like you, or agree with you. Much like you treat people on your very own show, whom you disagree with. Welcome to the real world, Lord Beck.

One thing I agree with, is that yes, Che Guevara was a fuck up revolutionary.  Still a great man Che was, but hey - It didn't work out in Bolivia. As far as what me and Glenn Beck agree on, that's about it.

In closing a message for Glenn Beck (And I do hope this gets to you):

Fuck you.

N K E - What the fuck is that? (Must be a top-secret Nazi super-weapon) (N + E)

While studying history, politics, and technology as I often do, I sometimes run across new seemingly "unexplainable" objects or occurrences. Inevitably, a counter article always appears to declare that the occurrence or object was most likely the work of Adolf Hitler and his group of maniacal super scientists.

For example, recently some object has been found in the depths of the Baltic Sea. I say some fucking object, because I do not know what it is, and neither does anyone else. In fact, as some have suggested, it basically looks the crash site of the Millennium Falcon.

                





Left: Sonar image of the Baltic Sea Object, Right: The Millenium Falcon

I'll be god damned. I have to be honest; I will be less surprised if it were in fact the Millennium Falcon, as opposed to a Nazi super weapon.

Of course, as of right now there really isn't any information on this thing, outside of the fact that it is strange, shouldn't be on the ocean floor, and blocks cell phone signals. But I don't really give a shit what it is, the article is more about questioning why someone has already jumped out from behind a tree, and screamed "IT WAS THE NAZI'S!!" before anyone knows what the fuck is even going on.

The whole problem with calling everything a Nazi super weapon is really compounded into two points - First, are we really that pathetic - that we have to assume anything we find basically anywhere, is probably a Nazi super weapon? Before we even know what the fucking thing is made of, or the most basic information on the object in question? I mean we have to call it a fucking object, since we don't know what else to call it - So why is it the Nazi's?

Secondly, (and most importantly I might add) why do we have to keep giving the Nazi's and Der Fuhrer so much credit?

Found something interesting? Don't know what it is? Ask this guy, he probably had something to do with it.

I mean sure, sure, they were very good at sweet-talking the Tories in the the early days, and they did start the construction of the Autobahn. And it would not be fair to mention something which can only be seen as an accomplishment such as the Autobahn, without bringing up the bad and saying that they also figured out a way to quietly and ruthlessly exterminate or deport an entire religious community in the millions, while creating some notable firsts in military technology (Such as the V2 rocket)- firsts that were all intended to continue and prolong a war which killed tens of millions.

They covered ruthless extremism and technological innovation fairly well, overall. But really, the height of the Reich was over 70 years ago; let's stop acting like any type of previously undiscovered object is probably Hitler's. As nice as the Panzer Tank was, I am using a laptop, and they didn't have laptops in a Panzer Tank. Also, they did not have the Keurig Coffee Machine. These glorious pieces of human achievement were not in a Panzer, or anywhere else for that matter in 1940. 

I understand that of course things sink, and disappear in the world's great oceans, however can we at least give ourselves enough credit to know some entity other than the Nazi's can clearly make shit (and by shit I mean bat shit amazing shit - Say the United States for example, or Japan). I mean fuck it, throw technology out the window. Since in the most basic sense we don't even know what the hell this thing is yet, call it the discovery of a secret Roman Empire era battleship instead of Hitler's last hurrah?

And why is the credit given, if this can be seen as a credit? That might be bad wording. The better question is, why are people so quick to say "Hitler"? 

Really, I suppose it speaks to how well off the world has been overall, the last several decades. No giant wars, no Hitler-esque figure, no faggoty mustache.  Even at this point, the biggest boogeyman, and most evil bastard ever created - Is still Hitler. When shit hits the fan, or some object that could have been designed for use in a dastardly military program, (Or anything else for that matter) gets dredged up off the ocean floor, it must even today; have been the work of Hitler - As if he is still being an asshole from the grave.

In the end, I suppose we should all be thankful. This is a short write up, so not to ignore those who have had rougher lives - Thankful that if you lived in majority of the world, a bigger "EVIL" has not jumped up and smacked us in the mouth at any point in the last half century or more. 

UPDATE- No one has yet figured out what the fuck this thing is, but people still think it is a Nazi Super Weapon.

Mao - Comrade Chairman: A Historical Summarization on the Legacy of Mao Zedong

Opening

This is a brief work of mine, on the late Chairman Mao Zedong. Factual for the masses, and short enough to not fill a book. It is needed, with all of the slandering, and comparisons of Mao these days to terrible leaders and mass murdering dictators, such as Hitler.

Before I go forward comrades, I will let you know off the get right, I am mildly biased. My political alignment is to the left (though not radically, of course if I were born earlier this could be different as you will soon read), and I do not shy from the label of a communist. Now, that does not mean I do not have an open mind, (as you may have realized from reading my works) as I do fault leaders, institutions, and parties of the past, for the mistakes they have made. As a matter of fact, if I were in China circa 1970, I would probably have been called a Capitalist roader. However, on the other hand, I would not have learned from the mistakes that the comrades in question have made, if I were alive at the time. Now it is easy for me to look back and say "Well, they should have done this or that", after reading texts and standing on the shoulders of others. I do not like to do that often, but it is almost natural.

I think, given the circumstances, China is doing what needs to be done. Essentially, there are many reasons why a Soviet style economy did not work, and will no longer work (though with the right modifications it could very well in my opinion, I am no economist).

 I hope this brief introduction will help everyone begin to understand this view on Mao,  a more balanced and realistic view; as opposed to what the current western world tries to shovel toward you.

Mike Dolan, sums up the "popular" western viewpoint these days in a review he wrote up a few years ago on Mao: The Unkown Story (An excerpt below):

"When I watched the second Addams Family movie, I knew there'd be a "blockbuster biography" of Mao coming soon. The key scene comes as the Addams are trying to decide what to name their baby. Rejecting other, overexposed dictators like Stalin and Hitler, they pick "Mao."

That was it, the writing on the sten-gazeta: time for some enterprising literary entrepreneur to grind out a big fat book showing us all what a monster the Great Helmsman really was.

Even so, it's a shock to see how mechanically Jung Chang and her husband, Jon Halliday, have carried out their assignment -- and how eagerly the reviewers have endorsed the product. Every critic from Santa Barbara to Glasgow has joined the "Down with Mao!" chant, waving this big green book in an elbow-destroying parody of the Red Guards who used to whack capitalist roaders with Mao's little red one."

Ladies and Gents, a quick note: You will notice I say "Possibly", or "It is probable" etc., when talking about Mao. This is due to the fact that I do not like to say what another was thinking or what the reasons were for their actions often; although with this type of writing it is difficult. You will note a good example of someone doing this too often, when I speak on Jung Chang's book later in this writing. Also, this text may seem running into nothing at times, but it all falls together. I'm by no means a fantastic writer, though I'm above average, clearly.

Chairman Mao

Knowledge of Mao

I would not call myself a historian; however politics and history are my "forte". As far as Mao is concerned, I have read and studied tens of thousands of pages of text regarding him (paper and online sources included), or subjects closely relating to Mao. I have read the flattering (Red Star over China), to the obviously biased (Mao: The Unknown Story), and have formulated thoughts and opinion's by compiling all sources, and then analyzing them. As well, I have studied the obvious military, political, and poetry works Mao himself had penned. In my opinion, the most informative; and "closest to the truth" total work that has been done on Mao to date, is Dr. Li Zhisui's "The Private life of Chairman Mao".

Cover of Mao: The Unknown Story

Thoughts on Chang's Book Mao: The Unknown Story

This must be added due to the controversy this book has brought. No offense to Chang, as the book makes for a good story, but the book is shitty and has some glaring fallacies and blatant bullshit portions.

She claimed to have studied Mao for 10 years, and to have researched XXXX pieces of text. The problem is, as you probably know, she went around getting interviews from people who had something against Mao, and this is the kicker - people who no one else can seem to find after the fact.

She also has a tendency to try and tell you what Mao was thinking - constantly. (How the hell she was able to receive transcripts of Mao's thoughts, I am not sure, but the critics liked it).

Some of the lines in her book almost read like this: "As Mao looked up to the sun from a street in Changsha, he was thinking about how he would conquer China, then the world, and enslave the entire population of earth". A little exaggerated, but not much and you see the picture I am painting. Some how I doubt the soviet records she and her husband accessed had anything to do with what was on Mao's mind, at such and such points in time.

Another issue I have is the fact that in her book Wild Swans, she talked of how horrible pre-1949 China was, and how some of her family had their feet broken and bound and then were sold to warlords as concubines. All the while Warlords where fighting across the country, foreign powers stepped upon the Chinese and she even mentioned body's strewn about the country side. During the writing of this book apparently she did an "about face". She now spoke of pre-Communist China as a place where one could live in complete bliss, occasionally jumping out of the path of an incoming bullet or piece of shrapnel here and there. In other words, this fantastic author lied in one of her stories, which are both true.

A scene in which Jung Chang was a participant in many times over, long before she wrote her long winded story book.

Simply put, I have read and researched a good amount of chinese & Mao works as well. She tried way too hard to turn Mao into a something he most likely was not, so she could sell books. I see no problem with books or authors listing his faults, or informing of the catastrophes from some of the policies Mao was involved with; but to use some of Phillip Short's words, turning Mao into a two-dimensional card board cut out of Satan is unnecessary and ridiculous.

Ending on this note, I give her props for writing another good story. I could not have written it. Bitch can write a book. However, be careful with what you take from this story, because I think that is exactly what it is, a story, not history.

Thoughts on Mao, as well as His Historical Achievements and Mistakes

Generally, I comply with the "7 parts good, 3 parts bad" line that the PRC has put forth. However, I go much deeper. I think those 3 "bad parts” included exceptionally large mistakes. What we have next, in general, is fairly usual when people argue about Mao. They look at the total number of deaths in a country over a period from anything and then say he was a power hungry maniac, and everyone who died during his reign must have been murdered by Mao directly.

Well, it is obvious that he did want personal power, which I see as something that happens quite often. SHOCK - He wanted some of this glory, and power.

However, how can those people say his goal, along with that personal power, was not to make China strong and assist the people to a better life, and a stronger country? The Great Leap Forward was a huge disaster, and this is now obvious. The reasons the GLF should be placed on his shoulders are 4 fold.

A) It was his plan
B) He was the leader of China
C) He did not like dissent from his opinions
D) He believed the positive lies of the comrades under him far to often.

From what I know, I can say Mao's goals for the GLF were most likely the ones always stated. To catch up to Great Britan, feed the masses, and make China strong in a short amount of time. I will give you a quote from Li Zhisui regarding Mao's actions during the great leap forward (Who as you know did not paint a very flattering picture of Mao):

'"But I do not think that when he spoke on July 2, 1959, he knew how bad the disaster had become, and he believed the party was doing everything it could to manage the situation".

Of course, he was horrible in the field of economics, this was a horrible plan, and many people died. Mao was not aware just how bad the situation was, until it was out of control (as noted in the quote above), and it took another year before he "bit the bullet", stopped the GLF and imported grain. The fact that he gave up meat whether it may be small to some, is huge to myself, a man of the people. 

Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai, during the waning days of the Cultural Revolution.

For example - Would Stalin ever give up meat in private because others had none? I think not. That right there should make naysayers stop the comparisons. While the disaster can surely be put on Mao depending on how you place responsibility, the reasons above are also the reasons I do not find Mao directly responsible for every single death during the GLF. The bottom line is, he did not want, or intend for so many to perish, and all of the blood is obviously not on his hands (In this case there was not actually much blood, we are talking starvation, though that does not make the deaths any less tragic).

I think another huge problem Mao faced was his eventual dedication to orthodox Marxism-Leninism. It would seem he eventually came to think, that an answer to any real world problems could come from applying Marxist theory (and later with his own theory's as well) without any modification. This is a problem of course. The world changes, the economy changes. You must make changes to succeed, and I am not sure he understood that. Revisionism was needed at the time. And, after the Sino- Soviet spilt, he most likely saw himself as the champion of orthodox Marxism-Leninism. He saw Krushchev's changes and secret speech about Stalin as a blow to the communist movement, and he decided to pick up the flag and continue to tow the old line. This would increase his (and China's) power internationally, and adhere to Lenin's version of Marxism. In these ways, his pride, desire for power, and dedication got the best of him.

Next, comes the the Cultural Revolution. Mao did not want to lose power, and at the same time he possibly wanted China to be the next Soviet Union in the world (The leading country in the communist bloc). A powerful country that could apply Marxist theory to its government, and lead the masses to a high standard of living. As you know, the "Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution" led to many tragic occurrences. The economy came to a stand still, half the country was criticizing the over half and many lives where ruined. The GPCR also led to his "personality cult" being put into over drive. Although Mao many times said he did not want to be revered, of course he most likely enjoyed reaping those benefits. Who would not, really?

A large difference here compared to other countries was the actual adoration for Mao that the people had for him. People can argue the fact all they want, the adoration was a legitimate one for many. Even Jung Chang was a Red Guard, and I can tell you she was probably not forced to put the armband on at gun point. She was caught up in the revolution and Mao, and followed suit like so many others. The idea of the GPCR was obviously ridiculous and grand. How many other "dictators" would have dared to put so much power in the hands of the people? Mao knew it would not affect his power, but it would definitely affect the power of his establishment.

I am sure not one Red Guard was displeased by the new found power and benefits that came along with the title. (Free train rides all around the country, free lodging, etc). Like other movements Mao had introduced, it was all too late when he decided to stop it (or when he thought about stopping it). He probably thought he would die, China would be built from the ground up, strong, united, completely dedicated to Marxism-Leninism as an ideology, and he would go down in history like the emperors he loved to read about in the past, as a great leader, or at least a powerful one who is respected.

Mao, on display for viewing at his wake; before he was enclosed in a crystal coffin and enshrined inside his memorial at Tiananmen Square.

Final

Mao was one of the greatest political leaders to have lived - Although it sounds like rhetoric (sadly), I really do believe that his achievements outweigh his mistakes; and that he had China's best interests almost at the top of his list, next to his interests. He may have been a dictator, but as far as I am concerned I like to apply the term "enlightened despot" to Mao. You must look at the situation he was placed in. This was not America, this was China. Broken apart by foreign powers, and being invaded by another at the same time. He used communism as a way to unite the country, and he paved the path (albeit a rocky one) to where China is today and that is most likely the closest country to becoming the next world super power.

He began to think he was infallible, due to his personality and the sometimes blind dedication of those around him. Being dogmatic, which he said he reviled, was one of the main factors that led to some of his biggest mistakes. If you take away the starvation deaths in the GFL, Mao is nowhere close to anyone like Hitler or Stalin. I do not take them away, but I do not attribute every single one to him; as I mentioned earlier. The thing is, he did not sign death orders and steal food from the masses like many others. I will argue rigorously against any claims that Mao was a mass murderer for that and other obvious reasons I have stated here previously. He did not expect the people to follow the state, he expected the people to follow communism, which while it may have been a lesser offense, it was another mistake. I myself am torn by my admiration for Mao, and the fact that some of those mistakes are unforgivable.

Mao once said that China never had a man in it's history comparable to George Washington. 

Mao was China's George Washington, in a different context. Not even George Washington was selfless in his duties. All too often others seem to forget, for lack of a better term, people are people. In my opinion the biggest problem most have with Mao is that he was a communist and he was one of the few who ended up doing a great deal of good for his country to go along with the bad, and people want his image to fall along with communism's and Lenin's. Then, they try to turn him into Hitler or Stalin. The Third Rich lasted a decade, and was run on dubious beliefs; I do not even see how it is comparable to Mao's China. The Soviet Union is gone, too many purges, and to much hold onto an outdated system. 

Mao's Communist Party is still kicking, and at least making it seem like they are helping the people (a good example is, they recently abolished the 1200 year old agricultural tax - But boy are they taking what Mao labeled the "Capitalist Road"). 

Mao united a fractured country, which was backwards and overrun by foreiners, and turned it into a united major regional power, now on the verge of becoming the only other superpower next to the US. He ended the prostitution and foot binding of the previous centuries, while literacy rates and GDP per capita rose substantially.

Really, once all of the bullshit is put aside, ask yourself this: Was Mao really the worst thing that could have happened to China? And who could have done better? If Mao did not unite China, and stand atop Tiananmen Square in 1949, where would that great country be today? Would it even be one country, better, ruled by foreigners or an even more corrupt Chinese government? Indeed, we will never know.

I guess the only thing left to say is Mao Zhuxi Wensui.

N K E - Peak Oil, and why you should be scared (Just playing) (K)

Obama, and an Oil Hammer. Obama doesn't have anything to do with this article, but it's a good picture.

You're now reading this, and probably thinking I am about to say we won't ever run out of oil.

Nope. Won't say that. Ask me again.

Now - Will we run out of oil you ask? Sure. Thing is gents, it won't happen until the worms have long stopped crawling out of your skull.

Peak Oil Theory, in actuality, is true. However, the time frame estimates, and the projections for oil depletion are where the bullshit starts to come into play. Over the last decade, the projections for oil depletion have been extremely skewed at best, and at worse misrepresented on purpose to prove a point when the presenters in fact know they are lying their asses off.

Obviously, with crude oil prices quadrupling over a 4 year period toward the end of the last decade, and gas prices sky rocketing, everyone is debating energy usage as of late, in any form.  Green technology initiatives and "LEED" technologies are at the top of the list for spending and conversation.

Peak Oil, for you "folks" as W liked to say, is the theory that crude oil production will peak at X amount of barrels per day, and slowly production will keep falling until it practically is not produced.

Proponents of this theory say we are done for, as far as using oil as our main source of energy within the next 20 years. That's the short of it, and the theory has proven right in most cases. The US being a good example, the prediction was crude oil production would peak in the 70's. Indeed, US oil production has not been higher than it was in the early 70s, and ever since then it has declined, and is still dropping.

Should we all assume life as we know it is over? Well, as the jolly Communist I am, I tell you no, my fellow people. I say no with conviction and a fat arm raised to the sky as if I were reaching for some sort of cold sugar filled drink in the middle of the desert. I will explain the reasoning in the rest of this rant.

Gas prices in general have blown through the roof in the US. People have flipped out, becuase it fucking sucks to have another bill to pay, where as in the past you barely thought about gas prices when going about your monthly budget. I'm not that damn old, however I remember when gas was under .90 cents a gallon - when I began driving.

Once more, it wasn't that long ago... And we are touching 4.00 a gallon now. In Europe, recently truckers have almost completely stopped in some areas, due to gas hitting almost 10.00 a gallon. Looks bad huh? Well, not exactly, to explain that, I will just ask you to keep in mind a few things. Let's get to it comrades. (I am sure many of you are much worse than comrades, but keep with it, for information's sake).

On the US side, sadly we have been spoiled for way, way to long. For some time frames during the last 30 years, we were the 2nd CHEAPEST country to purchase gas at the pump in, out of the top 33 industrialized nations.... 2nd Cheapest... With the largest economy, most money, and highest crude oil usage. Guess we should have called it, however, we didn't, it happens. As for Europe, they have been paying well over 3.00 a gallon for a long, long time. Now, I know I said 10.00 per Gallon, but remember this...

The US dollar has dropped more then 20% against other currencies in the last 5 years. That's a huge drop. The UK Pound for instance, has been at over 2.00 US dollars. While 10.00 is a lot, it is still 5.00 pounds a gallon. Adjusting for inflation.. They aren't paying any where close to the doubling and tripling US consumers are, as far as consumers cash out of pocket. Though I will note the truckers main issue has nothing to do with crude oil about to run out..  Europe taxes gas at sometimes as high as 70%... Compare that to the US taxing gas at 11 %, and you start to see the picture I have painted you - The issue in the UK has more to do with that than any theory. The issue looked much worse on Fox News and CNN, then it was in reality. They don't tell you about Europe's ridiculous gasoline taxes.. And again, sadly enough, all this speculation just makes oil prices go up, not down, without relying on the facts I have mentioned above.

Enough of current situation and examples for now, and on to Peak Oil theory. First off, when the peak oil theory was written, one issue arises. They did not take into consideration we would be able to dig deeper, dig different, and find more oil. Reality is, when the Titanic sank in 1912 no one could find it, and even if they did, no one could go deep enough to access it in the ocean. About 70 years later, it was found, touched and fondled,  due to technological breakthroughs and advances.

Guess what? the peak theory's main flaw when using it as a time line for oil depletion is basing all of its data on the presumption that we will not innovate to find even more conventional oil in places no one thought of or could reach/detect. Even now, the USGS has published a report possibly locating the largest oil reserve EVER in the US, including Alaska, with a new horizontal drilling technique. This is also assuming, oil is not a more abundant resource in conventional form.

What's next.. Well here is one you won't believe. But it is easy to prove, go do some Google searching and book reading, you will be amazed. All of these predictions do not include what is called "Unconventional Oil". This is oil which can be found in other forms as opposed to what is called "conventional" oil.  Examples are sources such as oil sands, and oil shale.

Oil sands, never heard of them? Notice how Venezuela has been launched into the world stage as of late? Yep. Oil sands. Oil sands in the Orinoco valley have made them a huge oil producer. To see this point, try to remember if you heard the word Venezuela more then twice a year, 15 years ago. Now how often do you hear it? They figured out how to tap into the oil sands, and refine the heavy crude.. An "Unconventional" source of oil. Wasn't taken into consideration when Hubbert was making his time frame predictions.

We are FUCKED! Oh wait, the experts forgot to include 70% of the pie chart in their oil depletion estimates.

To continue on unconventional oil, which is rarely included in reserves and not taken into consideration by the peak theories creator, the US has a great outlook. And by great, I mean amazing,  point in case is the fact that the US has 110 years worth of supply in proven Oil Shale resources… Get that? 110 fucking year. People are saying oil will be gone in the year 2020.. Let me say it once more. The US has proven oil shale reserves to last 110 years at the entire country's current consumption rate, and not import a single barrel for that 110 years.

Much to the chagrin of Peak Oil time frame lovers, and doomsday prediction fuckers,  all of this will be exploited in due time. Unconventional resources were thought to take more energy and money to extract then they were worth at the time when people were putting up these oil depletion estimates. The new reality with oil prices at over 100.00 a barrel, is that these prices are well over what the analysts said would be needed for big oil companies like Shell to start extracting these forms to make crude. Once more, keep in mind just a 10 years ago or so; the OPEC said oil would not go above 40.00 a barrel…

Long story short my people, don't get into the hype. At the very least, even assuming we can never find any more conventional oil, we have well over 100 years world over supply, just in unconventional oil reserves which are proven at THIS date. And don't worry, it's not impossible for us to use that oil shale. 95% of Estonia's energy comes from oil shale production. How much do you know about Estonia? Not much? Me either, but fact is if they can provide over 90 percent of there needs by utilizing oil shale, chances are the US can do it to, along with many other countries.

In the end, thank big oil. If no one else does anything, they will save us by extracting these unconventional resources, to make sure they stay big oil, and filthy rich of course.

So - sleep well. Once more, don't fall into the dooms day scenario. I hope the masses can continue to learn - Which is exactly what we are doing, by paying attention and looking for the reality of situation, instead of just accepting what others present to us.

Make sense?

If not, at the very least, as I said earlier - sleep well comrades. Go test drive that Ford F-250. You will be long dead before you will have trouble finding gas for it's tank.

Faggots in Formal Wear (Why Follow?)

This raptor is not a faggot.

Mitt Romney is a faggot. So is Paul Ryan. I know - Many people won't be comfrotable saying this, or reading it, but you know you were thinking it. And that is why that shit had to be written.

Guess what?

I'm not really that comfortable. As I sit here in my low cost, mildly shitty computer chair, I think of the friends I have who support Mitt "Faggot" Romney and his crew of rich assholes. I find myself wondering if I am actually able to call them friends.

"But he can run a business"?! America isn't a business, dick.

As it were, I am the type of cat who can generally sit down, discuss politics, and religion "in a bar", or anywhere really. I adore it actually. To hear differing opinions, and to argue the facts while gaining knowledge from the other side.  Also to put people in their place when they get over zealous. This is a love of mine, I freely admit.

Mitt Romney, and Paul Ryan; the two propped up in front of the people for this round of what-rich-guy-gets to run the US, are nothing you haven't seen before. They are your typical white, full head of hair with a firm hand shake duo. Some faggoty assholes in formal outfits who generally smile and look pretty. They were also probably successful, at something.

Bain Capital, this or that. No one really gives a shit what, but they ARE SUCCESSFUL, damn you. They were raised in the great US of A, and happened to have some help (Whether it be rich parents, or otherwise, it is still help) to get to the top.

The current crop of republicans want you to basically tow the line that is this:

"Fuck everyone else. If you work hard you deserve all you have, if you can get it (but you don't deserve any assistance if you need it and can't buy it), and you should NOT pay taxes."

"Why should the government take our money!? We earned it. Fuck the government... Unless it is us. Unless we want the right to tell you what we should pay into taxes, and the right to tell you what religion is correct."

"Also, we are assholes".

Vote for me! I'm a fag!

That about sums the right up these days. 

I know there is more to the platform, but fuck off with all the excuses to push religion on everyone and come up with a reason for being greedy - I don't give a shit and I don't agree.

And no, I'm not a democrat - But the popular right in this country is borderline retarded these days (Some people champion Limbaugh and Glenn Beck) - So ya, no thanks.

Another thing, one of them is Mormon. So he is most likely bat shit fucking crazy.

I know separation of church and state is kind of a big thing in this country. So naturally,  I keep smacking my fat ass head against the wall, wondering in amazement how the right continues to use religion as a political platform and continually passes themselves off as some type of anime-mech defender of the constitution, and bill of rights.

At the end of the day they don't give a fuck about us. Or you. Or the masses. Or your mom.

Not even the slightest of fucks was given, on any day as it were.

They want to tell you not to abort your child, but when it appears in this world, they are the last to let that child into their home. They want to tell you it is their business if you want to be gay, and they should regulate what goes on in your bedroom (unless it involves storing a firearm there).

They want to tell you not to pay taxes, but rely on them to trickle money down if something needs done for the public. Trickle the money down you know, just like Romney trickled jobs overseas and out of the country to make larger profits in his younger years.

Turns out this asshole is pretty bad at trickling, unless he is trickling money into his pocket at the expense of others like a giant greedy piece of shit.

An odd creature politics is. What is the fucking deal? Let's he honest with ourselves - Obama isn't a saint, but at the ground level it would surely seem - He at least kinda cares about the people (you and me), instead of mostly profits. It is radical to say that sure. Maybe.

See, not all Mormons are bat-shit crazy

I'm sure Romney likes his wife, some people, and probably other Mormons a bit more than overall profit. And Jesus. Maybe.

Why would you agree with these type of people? Out of principle or a common religious belief structure alone? My friends, many of you - I do not believe in your God. I will state that now, and if that makes us enemies, see you in hell (probably not though).

But what I do believe in, is your right to have a God, and a good, healthy life - Even if you aren't one of the lucky ones.

Even if you can't afford to have a heart transplant, I still think you should get one if you need one. These are basic rights in my mind. A lot goes into calling Romney and majority of republicans these days faggots. It isn't simply one issue - pandering to the religious, health care, seemingly valuing the dollar more than the people, the list is pretty damn long, terrible and shitball like.

Stop following these faggoty leaders already. Excuses, and faggots. That is what they offer. The democrats aren't much better, but at least they aren't straight up being dick heads.

And follow for what? Out of a few common beliefs (not to mention a common hate - another article).
Remember, these are the type of assholes who would gladly ban your beliefs if they didn't share them with you. The US needs some sort of revitalization, and change, but Reagan failed, and the trickle down system failed. It needs to come from somewhere else.

Being rich and successful, you are still a member of the masses until you choose to separate yourself, or put yourself on a pillar; as a sort of new era king or queen.

We all want to be successful to some extent, and most would like to be wealthy - And that is good - You can still rule with everyone else, while being more wealthy - It just has to be as part of a group of citizens - and don't rule as if everyone has the same access to wealth as you do.

Remember - The masses should run this country, and all other countries for that matter. Not a few people who worked the system. Not a few people who worked hard. Not a few at all - this is the point. And especially not a few people who got lucky, whether they admit it or not.

N K E - Moe The Chimp, and the story of St. James (K + E)

Years after the Travis the Chimp story,  I decided to pull this old write up I cobbled together and post it here on MetalThug.com. 

As you know by now, chimps seem to go crazy often so there is more than just one that happens to rip off an arm or two. I have never written anything on Travis, though I felt that story received more media attention than the attack on St. James. This article was originally written years ago. 

The below is a small part of the story of St. James and his chimp Moe, whom as you will see below if you actually read the article, wasn't involved in the attack on his owner (St. James), though is at the center of the story.

Best wishes and regards to St. James.

As mentioned, I went back in the archives and pulled this story. It is one I know much about, but this take on it is better then most. Credit to myself, and the original interview in Esquire. Also, the reviewer of the Esquire article who wrote some of what I have incorporated into this piece - If anyone finds out who this is let me know and I will gladly credit.

The worst part of this story is that Moe sat back and watched while his "Dad" was getting his arms ripped off and shoved up his ass. Now, I guess the best part of the story is also that Moe himself was not attacking and going ape shit, he was just excited to see his old owners and eat some god damn birthday cake - Since, I guess, chimps like cake. 

How about this: Chimps are fucking dangerous.

It is odd that they have such a capacity for intelligence and social interaction. Maybe that is why they are so interesting, that and they fact they are 96% the same as we are, as far as DNA is concerned. Well, needless to say, that 4% apparently makes a damn big difference.

Friends for life.

News heading? Terrible of course: Man loses face and testicle in ape attack at California Sanctuary

Moe the Chimpanzee was taken from a suburban Los Angeles home where he lived with St. James and LaDonna Davis in 1999 after Moe bit off part of a part of a woman’s finger while she was visiting them. Since then, Moe has been living in an animal sanctuary.

Ok, got that part?

Well St. James and LaDonna Davis recently visited the cage in the animal sanctuary where Moe is now living to celebrate his birthday and bring him a cake.

Not that Moe could give a damn about a cake, he is just an ape, but the Davises brought him one nonetheless.

Well while they were standing in front of Moe’s cage with the birthday cake, Buddy and Ollie, two of four chimps in the adjoining cage to Moe’s somehow escaped and immediately started attacking St. James and LaDonna.

Even the two ape babes that were in the cage with Buddy and Ollie, Susie and Bones managed to escape.

Amazingly LaDonna was only bitten on the hand, consequently while trying to protect her husband St. James, who by far got the worst of the attack, which resulted in having his balls literally ripped off as well as suffering massive wounds to his face, body and limbs.

The apes actually chewed off his face. 

Buddy and Ollie were shot dead at the scene but not before the damage had been done. However, the true tragedy of this story is that Moe didn’t lift a finger to help St. James or LaDonna - He just sat back and watched.
 
And what a scene he watched.
 
To give you an idea of how bad St. James got beat down, St. James is going to have to undergo extensive surgery to reattach his nose to his face.

There is no word yet if they are going to be able to reattach his testicles or his foot.

Yes, they also bit off this poor guy’s foot. When the son-n-law of the sanctuary’s owner finally arrived with his pistol and shot Buddy, Ollie deduced that he was probably next but instead of just running away he grabbed St. James, who at this time is nearly bleeding to death and literally dragged him down the road before he too was shot dead.

Maybe monkey behavioral specialists can shed some light as to why LaDonna was able to walk away with only a bite to her hand while her husband got his dick, his foot and his nose completely torn off and then to add insult to injury dragged down the road by his good foot.

So what do the experts say?

Apparently if you think Chimpanzees are these cute little apes that are a must for any loving home, think again before you put one underneath the Christmas tree for little Timmy.

Ape experts say that they are naturally aggressors and are known to kill rival chimps from neighboring groups, they hunt other primates and are obviously not above opening a can of “you don’t want none of this” on humans too if they forget to bring enough cake for everybody.

"Male chimps are intensely territorial. They defend their territory against any perceived threat," said Craig Stanford, a professor at the University of Southern California who studies primate behavior. "Chimps can be violent at times just as humans can be."

"Chimps can be as violent as humans can be?" Was that a little subliminal jab at the anti-evolution folks in Kansas professor Stanford?

Apparently Moe’s behavior can be at least partially explained as well.

Evidently his mother was killed by a poacher in Africa decades ago and it’s possible there is still some deep seated resentment there that needs to be addressed.

You know you always find people that are those bleeding hearts that want to take on problems like Moe and make things all better.

Well it looks like you can’t make Moe better. You just need to leave Moe alone.

Even after he bit the woman’s finger off the Davises apparently tried to launch a legal battle in the courts to bring Moe back from the sanctuary and back into their home.

That’s one reason why we have laws. To protect people from themselves apparently.

It’s not exactly clear how they feel about apes now in light of this incident. I guess we can always ask St. James after they reattach his nose, his testicles and his foot.

I'll take two please.

Not much to write about this picture, other than I wanted to share it. Credit to David H. for locating this masterpiece.

A gift to the masses as it were. I hope at least some of you enjoy it as much as I do. Some of the finer things in life as it were, so simple, yet fantastic. Good food and well, you know. 

Enjoy.
