Lie Detects

I trust my gut with most things - especially people.

The senses we were born with - if you learn to listen to them - will guide you true through nearly any situation...

Humans tend to be terrible liars. When we lie, most of us exhibit our dishonesty physiologically. We fidget, we blush, we move wrong... I'm sure that there are various other chemical giveaways emenating as well...the scent of deceit.

When I watched this, I thought "This guy is lying." Maybe there are some scattered seeds of truth he is exploiting, but his performance registered a solid 75 percent on the Lie Scale for me.

Truth and lies are tricky concepts. There are half-lies and half-truths...fractional derivatives of each...complex equations that people use to justify any number of things...

But regardless of it's subtleties, if you're using your nose - the smell of bullshit always makes it's way to the forefront.

Which is why I was surprised that, when I watched this, I didn't pick up one hint of falsehood.

I don't sense one iota of bullshit in there.

Anyway - that's my take on it. You may watch that clip and hear nothing but garbo-spew...

But that's for you to find out.

Blood and Banana Splits

The benevolence and integrity of our Corpogov and it's affiliates never cease to impress...

Nor does the limitless whoring offered up by the flailing, dying corpus of the Old Media...

Together they work, like a handful of cirrhosis-corroded old rummies....Together they scrape together the last of their shared meth-dust for a final, anticlimactic bump of black terror disguised as serotonin rush....Together they obsess as they bathe the crack-rock in solvent and prep the torch for that last blast into spider-web space....

And all the little cockroaches who see nothing but profit / loss....who would do Anything to be a part of the shit-swindle roundabout that has been built for us to exist within....

You know what I say? As they make their plans, as they beg for our attention and demand our dollars?

I say it's too late for an Intervention....

I say... let them burn....

They - all working together - have fucked us for decades. The corporate media is just as complicit in war and death and famine and misery as the rest of the rotten pommes-de-terre who draw up the plans and grease the right hands to make sure things get done.

Well, the Future is Now. And if I get hit by a bus today...

I will die happy, knowing that the rot that has been imposed on our bodies and souls is surely being scrubbed away by the determined and loving hand of Nature herself.

The Game

More world-changing tech in the news...and we keep finding old stuff to go with the new...

More revelatory accounts of treachery.... this is the Information Age after all.

For those who grew up while the power structure was still a viable way of life - its hard to know where you won't get ripped off these days. These corpo-people...they are only interested in one thing...

Playing, and winning, the game.

They're on the hunt, and you've got the meat... and they all can tell you where to put it...

If they can just print it off for these guys, cant we just do the same for stuff like this?

Isn't money, as per the policy of both the Governement and the guys who make the money - free?

Money is free. As of right now. The best explanation in the world doesn't change fact.

Ah, business.....Business is good....business is up.

You know, Business runs on contracts....And when you start figuring out contracts...and how they affect your everyday life...

Well, things just start to get a little weird, as they always have.

The Grand Arena

Not to pass judgement, or anything - but I thought it might be useful to provide a little insight into the routine activities our esteemed aristocracy participates in...

While they watch from wherever it is they get to watch from, the world unfolds as it should....

In the ring, we have a mixture of ruthless, not-a-shit-giving gangsters; dark-hearted souls who do the devils work; dead-eyed, dead-end, cash-money hookers; and demon commandos accountable only to whoever signs the cheques...

On a global playing field, enemies, friends, plans, ideas - and business - roil in perpetual motion....competing, collapsing, coalescing....

Cheering from the sidelines, you will find arrogant fiends who act as literal fountains of hypocrisy....

Pressure drop

A setting sun requests that I leave some encouraging words as a final post today...I know they are few and far between...

But like anything else, what we lack, we can create -

Secrets are being discovered all the time... secrets that can help you.

Real magic that can heal the sick and nourish the helpless.

There are people out there working tirelessly to promote truth, save lives, and generally help out...in a time when we really need it.

And of course, there is hilarity like this.

Mix and match

Watch what you introduce to your bloodstream....creepy language in that one.

Language can be manipulated - just like viruses and bacteria can be manipulated...intertwined into new, designer pathogens.

Simple language and straightforward logic can be torn down by experts in deceit - what else would you call the art of exploiting fractions of uncertainty? - and formed into obscene parodies where the original intent of the law is completely subverted.

How completely insane is it to legislate a code of conduct in warfare, by the way? Who will be following it? Warfare...is an admission of chaos. It is explosions and body parts and drilled knees and everything else. Instead of rationalizing it and sanitizing it, maybe we should clue in to Smedley from a couple posts back and just give up the whole, rotten racket.

Anyway...In effect, this is the purpose of the law: To ensure that nothing is certain. Everything is open to interpretation. For better or for worse. And if you cant afford a lawyer - to interpret the law in your favour - it's for worse.

The top guys? If they want something to happen, no law will stop them - they will dismantle, disregard, and they will twist the existing laws so as to support their venture.

Of course, this subversion is masterfully executed, polished with what appears to be flawless logic...or not.

It's not difficult to convince yourself of something; it's even easier to let someone else convince you. We let people do it all the time. Taken to an extreme, a few pointed arguments at a sensitive time can turn our morals and conduct upside down.

Is that how frail our character really is?

The real challenge is to incorporate compassion, morality, humility, and a sense of unity into our dealings - economic, political, social. Once that happens, we will realize that the industries of death operate at far too high a price to be sustainable. And we will shut them down.
