Dominance Games: No such thing as America

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, economics, jobs, labor, Politics, technology with tags , , , , , , on September 7, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

When overseas markets get to be more enticing to business than our good old domestic market then there will be no more incentive to pay a living wage to a living person if that living person can no longer be counted upon to be a living customer.

The only incentives for business to produce jobs is to get labor at a rate that is affordable….no more in cost than in production.  the equation for business is profit.  Employment is useful only in service to that end.  Employment is not an end unto itself.  Business gravitates towards monopoly of markets.  Business leaders gravitate towards monopoly of production, of resource, of labor, of integrated, reliable means of sustenance.

Labor can be a troglodyte bore, using resentments and revenge to wrest any economic power it can get.  Labor also is the only line of defense against a system that, in reality, cannot and does not factor in employment and wages into its model

In the land of the free it is amazing how quickly good wages, benefits, and pensions have become words of derision, contempt, and fear.  Economic factors mitigate the wants of workers but when did the race to the bottom, the loss of expectations become a desirable model  …… and why is it that those who perceive no personal danger and who always have at least a path to survival are the ones who wish for that low level survival to become something that their neighbor should be thankful to have?

There is no such thing as America.  It is a hollow shell that provides fodder and seed capital to those who can play upon the global stage….They are for the efficiency of their markets, the efficiency of their control.  They factor in their real world insights and toughness and wish to be kings.  Model a middle class?  Don’t be absurd.  Give me useless bums as  serfs and street people any day of the week.

Dominance Games: Gigolo and princess

Posted in current events, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , on July 18, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Just a gigolo and the pimp…. the princess and the madame….and all the lame damned fools who fall for them, cede to them, bow at the feet of them so damned often, so damned wisely and so damned well.

Elections are for suckers.  Listening is for the self loathing.

Sometimes you see a dance step you’ve seen a thousand times before and its just a damned dance step.  Sometimes you a dance step you’ve seen a thousand times before and its  a damned whirlwind of warped motion and preening vapors.  Sometime things go bump in the night and sometimes things get so that one more dollop of the same old same old can cause one to tremble with the bends and have seizures of anguish at the thought.

How useless is useless.  The first best scourge of the emissaries from hell is prefabricated noxious sounds that makes spectators dirty and creepy when forced to be in any close proximity…… the automatons of political sneering scare away all known intelligent life.

Nimble minds please nimble feet and nimble feet retrieve phantom futures.  Our America means hard knocks and tough brawling; means no crying, no self pity, no banality; a tough country but a hard one.  Freedom means earn it day after day.  Freedom to be of stern stuff and bold charity… not for show, not for value.

The deft secure hard put interests of survival through the eye of a needle.   The passionately frugal must be preserved.  We fight for real things.  We do.

Dominance Games: The long knives

Posted in Commentary, current events, gerrymandering, journalism, media, News, opinion, partisanship, political analysis, political satire, political science, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 12, 2011 by B Schiff

We can best be protected from extreme evil in the political sphere by spreading around power as much as possible.  The philosopher king or the wise council of elders may be, in their pure forms, the most admirable and efficient forms of governance.  They may bring the best of virtue, vision, majesty, bearing and trust.  These forms may be the abject model of all seekers of wisdom and truth, all seekers of greater, better existence for greater, better political entities, systems, states, facts.  Wisdom and virtue flow undiluted, unfragmented from implementer.  Implementation is a dream..

Virtues  in these epochs of rule are great but as it is with all such things the templates always seem to have equal and opposite flip sides.  The greater good is matched by the greater evil and in real terms governance is best served when as a staunch representative of protection from harm.  The positive is as a bonus…an unexpected bonus of maturity and purpose, reflection and wisdom…that which when it comes… survives…leaves hope.

This is as close to safety we can come to in a world dependent upon the rational and irrational hates and passions of the bubbling classes.  Passion has its virtues…and its price.

In these aspects and respects…we crave our loved version of mass influence…our republic…our democracy.  All done well, good may prosper, right may flourish, balance may be achieved.  All done not so well…most of the mob survives the long knives, the hounds, the wolves, the cuts and the destruction.

Politics is kick ass and dangerous, armed and dangerous, dangerous and dangerous.  Grateful we are for what we see as the limits to the mass dangers we face, in the forms of the base outcomes we can endure.  We bless the phlegmatic, the powerless, the resigned and the the facts of livable survival.  Seeking the better and the good is always the fools errand of the naive known to the knowing and the wise.

Dominance Games: Good little abuser of the minds of men

As a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men,  as a good little speaker of wisdom and truth on the national stage are you a fine and dandy little advocate for the mind numbing densities of thrill seeking undulating, rapacious, leer loving, visceral thought?

As a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men,  heathen caressing bravado, simulating insouciant stature, hubris without bare naked warning, bearing without down seeking insight, degenerate pablum without the skills to identify food … As a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men are the lover?

As a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men, as a good little transparent mocking bird of  scavenging and bottom feeding …do you  lay claim to the ideas that you are not a rats thrilling dream sucked into a slimy worm hole of grime by an appetite for cheap tawdry thrills provided you by any cheep tawdry fondlers who can play your tune or work your predilections?

As a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men are you the demon demon sublimely enraptured with the prospect of the eviscerate splendor that comes from begging, pleading,wheedling, sighing, yelping, barking,  moaning, panting at the thought of being the open empty void of an open empty cypher that can be filled with screams, insatiable want, tears?

Are you as a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men adept at begging to be used by failed beggars who could not perform well enough to garner the rewards of the heightened and sexual satisfaction that comes with the sell out of the soul.

Are you as a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men a scrap heap of ill will?  Is opening your mouth to speak the act by which you can redeem all of the lost lusts of begging, longing, hot and humid silent, lonely midnights past?

Are you as a good little arbitrator of the useful abuse of the minds of men a lame little caricature of rancid whose only stabilizing thrills are those of smug hyperventilation?

Dominance Games: Good little delineator of cultural fact

Posted in Commentary, current events, gerrymandering, journalism, media, News, opinion, partsanship, political analysis, political satire, political science, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 9, 2011 by B Schiff

As a hero god before us.

As a true little delineator of cultural, scientific and historical fact are you glad to let the world know of lies, damn lies, statistics, half truths, ill found premise, incomprehensible conclusions?

As a true little delineator of cultural, scientific and historical fact are you sure that you are the true one, the one and only one and only, who truly knows their own chimeras images, their own natural habitat, their own generally accepted incendiary real and observable blasphemous worlds.

As a true little delineator of cultural, scientific and historical fact are you sure  that you  get the gist of these terms as you see them, are you sure that you roam freely as a mutant creatures in backwater rubbish factories masquerading as toxic waste?  Are you sure that you are from  places that produce  pink and floaty flotsam and factoids and that the blue and mundane jetsam, trash and reasoning from the school of “because I said so” languishes so nicely on your lips?

The  slush heaps of dead pools and and dried brain cells of life are not your only true mantra and they thank you for it.

As a true little delineator  of cultural, scientific and historical fact are you quite sure that you can see past the void, the divine propaganda proliferated by fallow ingrates who have agendas of scholarship?  The radical politics of scientific method is opposed to the shining facts of those of pure heart and tender mercies.  Education produces those of false opinion and learning can only be achieved by the indoctrination of a bias towards evil.

As a true little delineator of cultural, scientific and historical fact are you  the withering questioner of those who know nothing and embrace the depths of rot?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States are you sure that you have the stature worthy of an even a mediocre character by an even mediocre writer of even mediocre political fiction?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States do you have even the stature of an even mediocre farce of an even mediocre play of an even mediocre burn in an even mediocre hell?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States would you even be imbued by same to be a character deemed worthy of some sort of an even mediocre imitation of mediocre respect?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States are you in your mediocre way standing in the shadow of the grand boots of any of the strong and noble, mature and thoughtful well remembered giants of American political life?  Overwhelming and beyond the pale, that you would have knowledge of such things. … All a bit out of touch with the hollow of your heart?

As a political actor in these United States do you ever feel that you are extremely worthy of being a middle school dropout but much out of your league when it comes to being able to handle the intricacies of the high school prom committee?

As a good and true little political actor in these United Statesare you sure that stature is a word in your dictionary and are you sure that dictionary is a word in your dictionary?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States are you worthy of being looked up to from a position of down or is down too far above your head?

As a good and true little political actor in these United States are you the untouched witches brew of dignity, purity, slovenliness, gluttony, avarice, meanness and void as in cypher?  Are you lovely?

Are you a good little political operative who is happy with the structural flaws in our political system that makes it your job to revel in and celebrate all of the ways the system and its people can be gamed, used, laughed at?

Are you a good little political operative who is that true cynical wonder who will exploit ignorance where he finds it, exploit foolishness where it can be nourished, exploit dimness and self delusion as it it dances around its merry way?

Are you a good little political operative who is wise to the ways of the mechanics of system and and the pressure points and disingenuous levers of power so that you can work wonders with the right amounts of willingness to debase.

Are you a good little political operative who is proud to mock those open to mocking, those being  schoolyard dumb and open to such things? Does rational discourse threaten your soul, your fun, the level of ability of your candidate?

Are you a good little political operative who cares for the honor in your profession and the true stature of your candidate?  the nature of your candidate?  Are you a political operative who with honor true character unimpeachable and of the type and stripe that is immune to personal corruption?

Are you a good little political operative who knows that a knife fight goes to the mean crazy eyed bastard, goes to the junk yard dog?

Are you a good little political operative who knows that protection in a knife fight goes to certain preparedness…. and that once you got the tools to maim…maim……

The good little folk all over wouldn’t have it any other way.

Dominance Games: Good little law maker

As a good little law maker in these United States do you have respect for the institutions of government and any idea of consensus or do you find it desirable to game the system to benefit your positions?

As a good little office holder in these United States do you feel that the intent of our institutions is to find broad based coalitions or actions or is it to honor the winners at any cost?

As a good little member of the ruling class in these United States do you believe in the ideas of balance of powers or do you believe in the idea of maximizing gain in order to force your whims on all opposition?

As a good little member of the ruling class in these United States doyou give lip service to the ideals of “Democracy” or do you see “Democracy” as a form of government that can lead to the implementation of one party rule if that party is smart enough.

As a true little person of honor worthy of holding office in these United States do you find it arrogant to set different standards for the behavior of your allies as opposed to that of your adversaries?

As a true little person of honor worthy of holding office in these United States do you find hypocrisy to be an admirable trait?  Do you find it a glowing tool in the tool box of political gain?

Are you a person of worthy respect for the content of your character and the standards of your words and behavior.  Are you a bore?

As a good little wonder who imputes the motives of 40% of the population do you impute the motives of the 40% plus of the population who differ with you politically?

As a good little wonder who imputes the motives of 40% of the population do they have any thought processes that are worthy of any kind of respect?

As a good little wonder who imputes the motives of 40% of the population … Are they to be considered good Americans?

As a good little wonder who imputes the motives of 40% of the population … If you win are they worthy of you consideration?

As a good little wonder who imputes the motives of 40% of the population …. If you consider their motives impure or their thinking ignorant why should they support the American presidency if it has not respect for them?

As a good little wonder who imputes the motives of 40% of the population … If you think that these others have impure ideas or are not of good conscience why do you wish to be their president, their representative.

As a good little wonder who imputes the motives of 40% of the population …. Are differing views and  hard thought ideas worthy of respect amongst people of good will?

As a good little wonder who imputes the motives of 40% of the population…. Why  demonize fellow citizens?

As a good little wonder who imputes the motives of 40% of the population …  If broad opposition differs in opinion from you are the holders of these opinions worthy of having these opinions given respect?

As a good little wonder who imputes the motives of 40% of the population …. Are the only good Americans your good Americans?

Are you a saint?

Dominance Games: Blowing the gig America

Posted in Commentary, current events, gerrymandering, journalism, media, News, opinion, partsanship, political satire, political science, Politics, satire, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 3, 2011 by B Schiff

Skunk that skunk.  Maim those weak.  Fry order.  Dump decency.  Right  worth.  To elect is to be  right as rain.  Fair fights  and demon idiots win in the world of dreams.  In the world of wants.  In the world of how does it feel to want.  Competition flourishes  and you win a Buick.  Games on games.  Wheels on wheels.  Naked whimsies of naked riders riding naked on horseback….. nakedly.  The fantasies and virtues of  fantasies of virtue are long and luminous.

When there has to be a vote…make it crooked.  Where there has to be an electorate fix it.  Where there has to be a district game it.  Where there has to be a show….dance.  Politics is for suckers.  Might is for pros.

Common Suckers.

Lift that bail.  Tote that barge.  Skunk that skunk.  Hammer that nail.  Moral dignity and severe belonging.  Group buzz and kumbayah.  From the bottom up comes the power to change, to be wise.  From the bottom up comes the holy hell of the saintly pedestals upon which the bottom feeders and the  mighty pigs rest and lord.  From the bottom up.

Grand stability and surely supporters.  Roving marauding monsters cover great wide swaths of devouring nightmares devouring all before them as inebriated locusts in eternal heat swallow any governance and replace work with battle.  From the bottom up dreams come true.  From the bottom up America works.  So it goes.

From the bottom up comes the power,the virtue, the massive movements  hard knocks,  hard pain, sharp elbows, hurting places.  From the bottom up comes ribald thuggery and haunting bleeding.  Grab assed grab ass…. from the bottom up.

The base up.  The foundation up.  Many times, many ways the power in government and life comes from the base up, the foundation up.
Building blocks supreme support edifices and efforts of grand public pooh baas, void doers, do gooders and all serious scholars.  Mountains of sadistic gain are built lovingly and to the credit of justice from the bottom up.  When it does its good work and is in good grace.

From the bottom up.  Many times, many ways the shining power in government and life comes from the bottom up.  Many times many ways.

America, America……home home on the range

East side west side…… Johnny comes marching home

Oh say can we see…..the grand old flag

Look away, look away …the midnight ride of Paul Revere

Lizzy Bordon took an ax

This land is your land…  Georgia on my mind

The summer soldier and the winter patriot

The issues are complex

The issue dealers are power junkies

The system stays gamed

Day after day

What’s a citizen to do

Cry in his ineffective beer

Vote the system

Play holy and be the gamed happy gamer forever and a day

Cry and whine

Bitch and moan

Sweetly make no wily intrepid political tripes pay any price what so ever for blowing the gig America
