Just another hard luck day in North America
by Aaron D. Hancock
So the news today has been a king hell bummer.
One shittrain after another heading straight down the information tracks
to your glowing box, being shoved with 100% unquestioned god given * authority
down our throats lovingly by those in the main stream media.
Let’s just take a look at a few of the “news stories” that got my
attention from today’s dose of programming… Merrill Lynch CEO defending his
spending of $1,000,000 on his office decorating, then going on to defend giving
out early bonuses to his employees **. Citi
still plans to purchase a $50,000,000 corporate jet, despite taking at least
$20,000,000,000 from taxpayers***. The
company received un-traceable, non-conditional money that we have no idea where
it is or what it is being used for… tax payer money… and they said with a
straight face that taxpayer money was not being used to buy the jet. I suggest you let that sink in a minute for proper effect,
otherwise you’ll miss out on something really special.
OK, now to the other news. While driving around town Saturday I noticed a fairly new Home Depot design center near uptown Charlotte, and today (Monday) while watching the news I learned the store I just located and knew nothing about was closing. Sometimes the irony is so thick you need a good pair of golf shoes just to move around in the muck. Speaking of irony, Blago the magical guiltless Chicago mayor is sitting in every hot seat in the nation except for the one at his own trial. Yep, if you missed it folks, the foul mouthed Captain of Chicago is MIA from his hearings, while instead opting to sit in every talk show seat that will have him in the nation. I suppose the court of public opinion must matter to this fellow, but me thinks he has his priorities in the wrong place. Maybe I’m wrong and he’s just betting that this whole house of cards we call America is going to fold and it won’t matter what his political “friends” do, but who really knows aside from Blago and his team of expensive lawyers who no doubt are taxpayer funded.
Oh yes, and lest I forget, BP is apparently thinking of adding another company to the growing list of others it has gobbled up and Pfiser is buying Wyeth pharmaceuticals. Normally I wouldn’t get too worked up about this, but clearly someone has money and with Pfiser announcing 6,000 layoffs the same day information breaks on them buying Wyeth… well now I think we’ve reached something worth mentioning. Also keep in mind BP is a huge multi-national that is gobbling up smaller industry… which, one would imagine, would lead to at least a few layoffs. Irritating and irresponsible if you ask me under today’s circumstances. Oh, and if you didn’t see this on the national news (ABC didn’t cover it that I saw) join the club… Iceland is in default, the head of state has stepped down and the rioters are still in the streets. Yes, PBS did mention this as a main story, but ABC did not cover this important bit of information. All the news they want you to hear… most trusted news outlet my ass.
I hate to keep busting balls over this, but everything I’m harping on today mostly stems from one very serious problem... an accounting error. Not the kind an accountant, CFO or tax man makes, but rather an error of the kind the human mind makes. Specifically I’m talking about an error of accountability. Sure the ex-CEO of Merrill apologized using no uncertain language, but out the other end of his worthless carcass he was spewing out plenty of hot air in the form of rank smelling excuses, “oh this wasn’t so bad a year ago when I spent this money because the economy has gotten much worse since then.” Right, and financial managers didn’t understand was happening a year ago? If so, let’s retire them and put some of these average folks on the street like me who have generally seen this collapse coming for the past 4 or 5 years? Sweet Jesus, save us from these beguiling serpents who would have us believe them qualified for their positions of power while at the same time who claim they were oblivious to this collapse coming. This was a designed and engineered collapse, and that’s why I, and so many others like Ron Paul, knew it was coming. ANYONE involved with financials, business or economics should have and could have seen this coming. I realized while in the Belk School of Business that this whole economy was created to regularly collapse then eventually fail through greed, manipulation, and speculation. This is the open, outlined plan of the globalist banker cartel elite that has a stranglehold on our society and our economy.
On a lighter note, I think we should begin sending politicians who no longer have the interests of The People in mind a present. A simple pretzel. Perhaps you question the logic or wisdom of such a decision, but if you do, just ask Mr. Bush how dangerous a pretzel can be. I suggest sending George one daily until he stops making appearances on our televisions or in our newspapers. Perhaps the same could be done with Obama, Dead-eye Dick, Rhambo, Missing-Money Rumsfeld, CFR Biden and others who refuse to do the will of The People. Alright, there… I got it out. My rant for the day. I feel much better now and will be able to sleep in peace, hopefully, without some half-mad toupee-less Sam Donaldson chasing me through my dreams shouting horrible news that no one under any circumstances would ever actually want to hear. Take care of each other.
* I hesitate to capitalize any deity associated with these infamous greed-infested cocksuckers
** I suppose this was done to help “stimulate the economy” or because they wouldn’t have gotten “what they were entitled to” for running a company into the ground… frankly I think they should get what is coming to them.
*** Since I wrote this the jet order has apparently been canceled (after bad press was determined to be worse for the company than not buying the jet apparently
