Dominance Games: Slow death

Posted in current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , on August 3, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

The whirlwind has passed.  We avert calamity.  Dingy and dirty and unclean our heroes saw us through the fires of hell and we stand now upon the precipice of the awakening of a long and fruitful future abundant with bounty, awash with philosopher kings.

Then and again.  We have seen our stars save us before.  Always then and again.  Always the mystique of brave humanity in flux.  Always the mystique of brave humanity traversing the problems of existence in ways practical, necessary, burdening, resting.

Invitations to commingle with the fates come upon us often and we get mellow at the thought.  Forever the mysteries of the fair and noble society haunts our aspirations and our dreams.  Up from the muck comes our climb.  Up from the muck comes the climb of those who honor those who have before been bloody but unbowed, who have suffered the noble fight, stood firm with injury, with courage, with strong silent wisdom.

We see in our own betterment now the betterment for all.  Those who see in our ordered world the safe havens for all, the beacon, the standard for all are comforted and safe.

We have our aspirations, our lusts, our meaningless diversions.  We have our firm foundations of good moral backbone, our glorious antipathies, our grand memories.  We have our glorious antecedents whose memory is twisted well to our benefits.  We cherish the fight.  Honor.  Always honor.  The gods appreciate honor.  The gods appreciate hope….. the last vestige of the mind that claims for itself no power.

Dominance Games: Lynching

Posted in current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , on August 1, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

The flutters of sensuous hearts and the pulsating loins of girded men get solace and relief from the simple joys of comic release.  The health of and general demeanor of the ravaged put upon demand tonic and home.  The sweet birds and angels of paradise flutter simple wings and make symphonies.  It is always time for salvation.

The paradise of functioning bits of grand freedoms, ours.  The paradise of functioning bits of deliberative heavens, us.  The  dreams of our greatness lie languid and salutary, quaint mirrors bought and sold to give skewed reflections in the fun house of our lives.

The sullen songs, the narrow trolls, and the vacant stooges do not yet grasp the ancient effects chaste goodness.  The pranksters and the audacious know sure bits to turn to,  sure lures for ribald audience.  Sweet nights and frenzied fancies are always enlivened by the sparks of audacious warriors.

Evermore the fun rises.  Evermore  irrepressible.  Evermore lounging sleepily and quaintly.  Evermore the tides, the cycles of the moon.

The meek shall inherit the earth with baptism under fire requiring the will to be under fire.  Salvation always demands its time.  With hopes that tree never rots.  That fruit ….hanging low from an old oak tree.

Always the lynchings.  The smooth and terrible lynchings.  The loud blasts and the searing justifications.  The lynchings of process, purpose, representative viability, agenda, the sane.  Always ways the misdirection, the cunning, the wheedling, the weeping.  Power lanes and power functions…. where canst thou be? The pulleys, the levers, the slides, the hammers.  The fronts.  The lynchers.

Ruminations for the hot rabble with the sacks of rocks and the monkeys on their backs trundling through  the deep dark muck of the faeries labyrinthine.

Watch the lynching.  The good fear sets in.

Dominance Games: Blackmail

Posted in current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , on July 31, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

To the spoils go the victors.  To the cunning go the cracks in the game, the cracks in the system.  Primaries are only for the extremes to invoke their blackmail.  Congressional districts are only drawn and worked for the extremes to invoke their blackmail.  The flowing money of those who love power are only for the extremes to invoke their blackmail.  The extremes are only for the extremes to invoke their blackmail.

Blackmail is a lovely tool.  A tool of fascists and thugs,  authoritarians and self important puff pieces.  Blackmail is good.  Greed is good.  Good is bad.  Power is for those who get it, not those who can exercise it.  Power is for those with the lean and hungry look.  Power is for the ones who love the night and love the shiv.  Power is for the killers, the breakers, the owners the tellers.  Power given is given to the ravenous and the ravenous have their hungers and the ravenous have their wants.

It is hard to stand in the way of the ravenous.  It is hard to be a piece of meat in the way of the ravenous.  Pieces of meat get devoured.  Pieces of meat are made to be devoured.  Pieces of meat put themselves out there as pieces of meat.  Waiting to be devoured.

Live the dream.  Be a butchers cut.

Dominance Games: And now the apocalypse

Posted in current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , on July 29, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

And now the apocalypse.  It has finally come.  The world has finally evaporated and the nether worlds of shadows and specters haunts the winds.  It is come.  The dark terror of yesterdays horrors and fears is come out of the mists of the dregs of time and has brought us to 193o and its look to the future.

And now the apocalypse. It has finally come.   The world has finally evaporated and the nether worlds of shadows and specters haunts shrill winds.  It is come.  The dark terror of yesterdays horrors and fears is come out of the mists of the dregs of time and has brought us to the abyss and its look to the thrills of destitution and the prides of self indulgence.

Its dreams are ours again.  The dreams of the  apocalypse are ours again.  Its visions, ours for a song.  The visit to the strange country of the past is just around the corner.  Trust is the love.  Bless the beasts and the children.

Cometh the killers, the comedians, the tragedians,  the jugglers, the clowns.  Cometh the deviant surrogates.  Cometh the action of our betters.  Cometh prides and wisdoms, scalding fights and rank misdemeanors.  Cometh yesterday’s fond tomorrow.

Dominance Games: Pangs of charmless shame

Posted in current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , on July 29, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

The lustful now brings us a long look at fallow water.  The lustful now brings us all that we wish would go away.  The lustful now brings us no comfort.  It brings us no joy.  It brings us only rancid spectacle….. unhappy charmless debilitating shame.

And again the night comes and the day breaks and the story unfolds.  And again the parties interact and the trends trend and at the bottom of the pile is that long lamented world gone by.  It was different then.  The yesterdays of our dreams.  In ways that were special.  In ways that were good and sincere, lovely and tenacious.  It was charming then… the days before yesterday.  Charm rang us awake.  Hope put us to sleep.  Things were better then.

The sun was brighter then. The days drifted with the clouds then and there was a smile in the air.  Bonds were stronger then.  Fabrics were tougher, more prone to endure.  Thoughts were more thoughtful then, more rational.  Principles were more principled .  The honorable were more honorable.

The laments of past foolishness hurt much deeper, then.  The pangs of past regret ran stronger.  There was a feel that there were good things… good things lost … good things were not unattainable then.  The path from then to now was much clearer then, much clearer.  The virtues were more virtuous then.  The then then was not as good…. now the then is heaven.

Dominance Games: American Exceptionalism

Posted in current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , on July 27, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Saved we are by our intrepid heroes.  Saved we are by those governing fools.  Governance is what they do.  They dance it fine.  Measly little power grabbers.  A laugh.  Measly little over aged adolescents.  A scream.  The best this country has to offer, they.  The proud poster children for American exceptionalism they.  We are proud.

So.  Now we have our moment in time.  It is a fine and great moment…a moment that can be a magic springboard and springboard us back to the very best versions of our very best selves.  It can be a springboard to the very best selves that we hold dear and deep in our hearts, the ones we think of when we day dream and are heroic.

We are now teary eyed wonders saluting our flags of strength and it is not by accident that we brave many things in order to envision the best of all noblemen and women.  Honor fulfilled, large injustices not metastasized, we, as one, cherish our common suffering and our common courage and valor.  Oh but were that my exploits could be chivalrous and true.  Oh but were I a standard bearer for the sure and true.  My heart would sing forever.

We tell our selves.  We tell our selves again and again.  Oh, but were that me, that soldier of soldiers, that brave stoic soldier of soldiers.  Oh that the moment in time to be good is here again.   Oh that it is a moment of no frustration, of no foolishness, of no ass backwards behavior.  Oh, the goodness and joy.

As have been many that have come before, so often, so hard charging, so eminently luminous…..the past is prologue.  It sets that which must come next.  Our past was yesterday.  It will not bear on tomorrow.   Our reactions harsh and fearful and weak.  Our past small, narrow and petty.

We come from hard times and look through many prisms.  There has been frustration and false premise.  There has been false horizons and false dawns.  Actors act.  They wonder.  They cannot see yesterday.  They cannot see tomorrow.  They can, though, be the glory of their times.

Yesterday’s toys were sullen things.  Yesterday’s toys will be no more.

Dominance Games: Whip Hand

Posted in current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , on July 26, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Back alley consent is easy consent.  Simple peasant villagers and serfs trot off to market.   The landscape is a simple barren thing.  The bon fires of the whip hand reap sanity.   Gazelles on horseback run away with the wind and sneer at fools trying to catch them.  The whip hand is the one that got away.

The eight by ten glossies of fire walls against chaos enhance stability.  Power and things and money and such are good hammers.  They deface an ugly backlash from the suckers.

The gentle gentry cooperate with the soothing strains of enforcement, the legitimacy of law, always coerced with the withering tales and willing stories of  lustful lusts and hateful hates.

Might makes right.  Might makes trust.  Systems function.  The trusting trust that the hammers of force and power will be wielded in a trusting way.

Imperial statehood is a show.  The  honorable consent of the honorably governed…  good simple bounty.

Ennui works well.  The holy rollers and the cynical snide love to ride out their lustful fancies.  Proud stasis is reached when the game is understood by all.

Bye bye love.  The whip hand is not for wimps.

Dominance Games: Melt toxic

Posted in current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , on July 25, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Rat bastards and sultry party girls  know public interest.  Deficient lay persons come awash with scandal and comprehension.  The thoughts of the  fates  are the stuff of legend while public minds and group clouds make definitive statements.   Right thinking wonders are never astray while cogent minds contemplate their navels and grovel at the feet of those who know better.

Parity.  Fairness.  Xenophobia.  Heartfelt compassion.  Good people all with thin skins.  The world is not an easy place.  The whining of poor babies echoes loudly from here to the Martian sunrise.  The stiff cries of hold my hand are deafening…..and often time a counter weight.

Ideas  rip the blood of bad actors of no repute and aria singers of no legend.  Unorthodox hard edged filters of desperation protect us from the no nonsense void.  Life churns.  The humble ruminate.  The grand reflect.  The rooted sincere have no idle moments.  We all draw pretty pictures.

A pauper’s joy for the demeaning, the demonizing.  A sultry singer’s bow for the self important.  Too much the liberalizing efforts of the universal comforters.  The store gets given away to those who work it not.

The fierce battles rage on.  The rights of the group and the membership therein.  Membership is a thing open to passions and reasons and fears and such.  The melting pot of old does not always melt.  It does not always blend.  It is at mercy to the ingredients in the stew and the stew often has uncooperative parts, the main ingredients rancid, the diced additives being not of a combining kind.

Staunch defenders of the faith are oftentimes staunch defenders of the faith.  The non narrow us is the over ripe other, the suckers who sees too little too late, too much too often.

Battlegrounds.  Power is often to save face and place, often a trip for the hard relentless.  The power… never diffuse it, challenge it, break it.  Break only  enemy thine.

Cohesion not when there are prizes to be won, sacred cows to be hidden, ridden, loved for the hate engendered.  Thugs can marshal the forces of the club…bring harm and grief… trump peace and joy and love and understanding.  For any and all good peace the thugs have to be noble thugs.  We grow only noble thugs here.  Any and all good peace … good sick comedy and toxic lame.

Dominance Games: Fierce Nation

Posted in current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , on July 24, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

So the gets are gotten.  The world is ours.  There is the surging march of the gentle tides of gentle history… the light of shining dreams and happy diversions, the constant light, the complacent light.  Happiness fulfilled.   Society successful.  Values given…. values given the toys of the boys,  whirls of the girls, the piece and prosperity of a great nation.

Let the workers and the hardy beware.  Let the stern and the staunch beware.  The right way to go about the right things is always the right way.  The earnestness with which to pursue earnest goals is the true earnestness.  Dream the dream.  It is a good dream.  It is not a dream worth waking from.  It is a sturdy little dream.  It stands for all goodly things.  It is a lustful dream full of lust for the good, lust for the right, lust for the true.  It the saving dream of those who serve.

A compact little dream this .  A compact little dream factory of a compact little dream this.  A dreamers little dreamy dream.  A dream.  The lucky little residue ours.

An honored place this little piece of heaven ours.  Of respect, of standing, of aspiration, of good aspiration.   A meaningful endeavor,  a meaningful haunt.  This portrait of achievement, our heroes, our fierce nation bows its head with respect.

The sun has given us a grand bounty of good men and women.  Nature has given us the legacy of honest men.  We sit atop a bastion of a prize of working, sincere souls offering their all with the honor and decency of soldiers on the fields of battle.

There are only good and noble dreams walking.  There is only our belated success.  We have now a governing coalition of the wise, the responsible, the charitable, the true.  We, in our rests, know ourselves to be in the grand hands of the competent.  Warm and fuzzy are our thoughts and comforts as we curl in our repose.

God bless our keepers.  Arrogant dreams and righteous bores.
