Dominance Games: An Essay on Power

A Novel

Time a strange longing myth.  The world an art.  Muses watch blandly from the sidelines.  The kill is the winning bastard, chasing down the scurrying flock.  From the weight of sin, noble honor, comes a tempered stew that radiates out from the sinews and muscles of poor challenging bastards; that radiates out from hubris, aggression, want.

Mean and lust are tempo.  Conflict urges towards damnation, urges towards the visceral thrills of the rewards of power.

She is quite the sensual, wondrous toy who transpires through time, through dimension.  Quite the user, the hustler, the seer, the queen.  Quite the mystery who comes up in myth and mist.

Cynicism is wrapped in soft cloth.  Truth floats through gauzy mists.  There is fear, intimidation, loss.  There is ecstasy, the traps of history, of identity, of will, of territory, of belief.  There is passion.  There is wisdom.  There are kills, histories with long roots, many mothers, unyielding fathers.  There are neon lit nights and strong doses of tough.  There are memories, cold hard facts.

Actions, taken through time are taken by those who are the prisoners of an uneasy chase, prisoners of the ghosts of wily survival.  Motion follows paths easing towards searing savagery and redemption.  Many walk in uneasy terrain.  The kill is the winning bastard, chasing down the scurrying flock.  Beauty, honor, revenge show dangerous enticement, coming sometimes hard, sometimes not at all.  Honor, freedom, power, will, rush through the thickets of deadly time.

Conflict urges towards damnation, urges towards the visceral thrills of the rewards of power. There is dismissiveness, domination, fears of power, the traps of circumstance, will, cynicism, of want.

Swirling plays for the depths of men’s souls stir the chase.  Swirling plays for power and greed stir the games at hand.  There is sustenance in the drinking up of the brew offered by the tainted mixes of hunger and reserve, the tainted mixes of driven characters in cool focused rage.

Swirls of action and consequence run frolicsome charges through roads taken by those weak enough to pursue them.  Pursuits of harsh base pleasures and purposes provide a world of gamesmanship, sorrow.  There are enticing, foggy, predatory pasts.  Life is full.  It harbors heightened existence, clashes of will, of instinct.

A stark landscape is created, one that does that which it has to do, that forges that which it has to forge, that sets up that which it has to set up.

Death seeks his muse.

* * * * * * * * * *

Richard fucking Kenny developed his modicum of veneer.  He used it on the broken who had money to spend as they wiled away looking rich, empty, bored and rusty.  It was the easy buck, like dealing seconds.  Richard fucking Kenny was left to fend for himself with nothing save his momma’s good looks, his daddy’s cunning.  Spread out, rancid, tired, Richard fucking Kenny’s women who weren’t there broke the dreams of those who were and all were enjoined.  Sweet, sweet Amy, my dear little Babe.

Sweet Amy was always leverage, was always neutralized.  Cheap bastards always knew their names, Richard fucking Kenny, Amy, sweet, sweet Amy.   Cheap bastards knew they kept their own council, traveled light through rancid jungles of open pits of open sores.

Richard fucking Kenny looked for the ravages of weakness, took pleasure in watching gerbils squirm.

Richard fucking Kenny’s entry.  The sweet sense of nastiness, the odor of disdain.  All of the fucking men at the fucking table of Richard fucking Kenny’s life found Richard fucking Kenny a shield to covet, a bastard to savage.

In 1942, in New York City, Richard fucking Kenny was trying very hard to get out of the fucking army.  There were no fruits for his labors.  He was sorry.  Richard fucking Kenney wanted out from the bottom side of an existence that had since lost its glamorous facade.  Richard fucking Kenney did not want to continue associations with the people with whom he had been associated.

Fuck the deranged fucking lunatics.

Little Addie, this fucking Hitler idiot was a damn menace to the damned fucking world, no fucking sense of proportion, no fucking reason.  The world was made up of an abundance of damn suckers.  Any crazy asshole who knew how to make the suckers jump up and down in their fucking cages could make a fine little life for himself.  Little fuck Addie, this fucking Hitler idiot, only confirmed Richard fucking Kenny’s fucking beliefs.

Little fuck Addie, this fucking Hitler idiot, and his goose assed fucking, crazed fuck assed fucking friends knew all the fucking games that Richard fucking Kenny, his fucking friends knew so well, learned so well, taught so well.  All of the neat little fuck assed fucking tricks learned dealing with the other fuck assed fucking suckers in his damned sweet rides through the piss holes of the Western World…Richard fucking Kenny knew them well, taught them well.

Little fuck Addie, this fucking Hitler idiot, and all his crazed fuck assed goose assed fucking friends were fucking stench, bad fucking medicine, bad fucking assholes, fucking Jew baiters, fucking bad mean grief, fucking medicine, bad assed fucking times.  Richard fucking Kenny.  The fucking world could fuck itself silly.  Richard fucking Kenny could fucking fuck himself silly.

Despite his best efforts and great resources Richard fucking Kenny was inducted into the Army in the spring of 1943.

He was shipped south.  He had to employ some of the tactics and friends of his New York associations.  Too many certain southern gentlemen and others, in fond and happy anticipation, were filled with thrills at the thought of having a one hundred percent New York Jew boy at their fucking disposal.  That this was the way of things Richard fucking Kenny knew.  He was in a position, however, to make the certain southern gentlemen and others fucking sorry that they disliked him so.

In the fall of 1943 Richard fucking Kenny and his fuck assed fucking friends were shipped overseas, were dispatched to be stationed in the south of fucking England.  Richard fucking Kenny was training for he knew not what, for purposes for which he cared exceedingly less.  Fucking Admiral fucking Dewey, Black Jack fucking Pershing, friggin’ Winston friggin’ Churchill, that fucking crazy man, Macarthur, Jimmy fucking Doolittle and his whole fucking bunch of damned friggin’ Flying fucking Tigers, fuck assed strutting Montgomery and all of the friggin’ British Tommies lying end to fucking end on their god damned fucking limey stained ass stained fucking bellies couldn’t make god damned fucking Richard fucking Hymie Kharnovski give two fucking shits about this god damned fucking war.

Richard fucking Kenny was not of the mind to allow some damned fucking yo-yo of a fucking Kraut fucking paperhanger be the cause of him breathing his last fucking breath in some god damned fucking stinking European fucking stink hole.

The goddamned fucking krauts ought to have their goddamned fucking asses mangled just for getting Richard fucking Kenny into this goddamned fucking mess.  The goddamned fucking Japs should also rot in fucking fuck assed, rotten, fucking saki hell.

Dominance Games / Politics

The new year and the winter of our thrills.  The promise and the cold.  The hope and the dark.  The future and the trials.  The body politic and the illusions of sunrise.  Show a path to the grand parties and celebrations of the season.   Show a path to the foils of life and the joys of ease.  Show a path to a good nights sleep.

Show a path to an outstretched hand, the calming wit, a soothing gravitas.  Show a path to a willing patron saint of wretched staunchness and honorable pride,  Show a path to the springtime of actors acting for good purpose, for the rough dirt of the rough work.

Show a path towards a synthesis of good minds and true, fair thoughts and chaste.  Show a path towards the illusions left to those who wish the way home, the way to make good happen.

Show me the river.

Dominance Games / Politics: People who produce are leeches

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, political science, Politics, satire with tags , , , , , , , on December 8, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Poor people have no money …they should then rot in hell.

Needy people have no souls …. they should then burn in hell.

Caring people have no heads ….. they should be dismembered themselves.

Uncaring people have no hearts…… this is true.

Knowledgeable people have no backbone …. they should better twist with the wind.

Unsure people have no divine spark ….. that is their deformity.

Truth tellers have no wiles …..they are doormats.

People who wish not to work 70 hours a week for nothing want to destroy the American dream.

People who wish to work 70 hours a week for something are to be shot.

People who produce are leeches.

People who see paths to sustenance are selfish bastards.

People who win are losers.

People who lose are losers.

All Gods chillin’ are losers.

People who like representative democracy are dreamers.

People who game representative democracy know from truth in advertising.

People who wish to talk of many things …. cannot.

The only bird worth listening to is the mocking bird.

People who wish good things for Christmas are blowing smoke in the winds of wishes.

People who wish the better sides of hate for their holiday meals eat well and with gusto.

Ain’t no opportunity in peace.

Mistletoe and holly.

Dominance Games / Politics: Contemplation, thought, quiet

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, political science, Politics, satire with tags , , , , , , , on December 6, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

So we have the fight for the soul of the American public.  We have those lacking compassion.  We have those awash with it.  We have those understanding the trials and conflicts of production and those who appreciate not the efforts of innovation, management, survival.  We have those who see the old evils of unbridled laissez – faire capitalism and those who do not.   It is always the old conflicts.  What does capitalism owe to labor….what does labor owe to capitalism?  Is labor an endless pool to be eternally abused as an endless glut on the market?  Is capital an endless evil trying to navigate the bitter fields of production, efficiency, competition, vulnerabilities in markets and systems?

The age old fight between the individual and the collective……the fodder of the collective versus the soul of the individual.  Where today is the the acceptable line drawn?  Do we not factor in the line at all?  Stifle the human spirit and the society is dead.  Stifle the living prospects of the general populace and the society is rancid.  Capital creates capital….that is its purpose……all other grand benefits are off shoots not aims.   Labor creates survival……too much a drag on production and nimbleness can kill the goose….Disrespect for either of the two, the fat cats, the greedy parasites and ugly is the world.

The many mealy mouthed babblers, cons, charlatans, fools and worthless scoundrels wrapping themselves in the flag that is the last refuge of scoundrels all claim to speak for the American public when the American public can’t even speak for itself.  We don’t know what the hell we stand for……we’re too damned put upon, intimidated used, abused, manipulated and sapped to care.  A soul requires soul searching.  Soul searching requires contemplation, thought, quiet.  Quiet requires that the whole damned political world shut up.

Dominance Games / Politics: So damned complicated

Posted in Commentary, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , , on October 29, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

The go getters want to go and get.  The go getters want to camp in the camping grounds of those who’ve gone and got.  They want to charge up the hills of glory and reflected glory and throw their lots in with the canny and wise, the achievers, doers, job creators, wealth creators….. the hard working salt of the earth types who roll up their sleeves and build better worlds and make society a growing vibrant place…..That is what they wish to do.  A growing vibrant place is what they want.

The lazy idle and irredeemably intellectual snobbish wish to see the wealth of nations squandered on the lame and the halt and they wish to see the drive for innovation, creativity, risk, action, drama sucked out of everyday life so that all that is left are passionless drones who are the broad bland degenerate useless.

Those who seek redress of problems and bad ways know that they can petition a stagnant government only far too happy to answers to the needs of the afflicted and uncomfortable….that is what governments do…. that is what they are for.

Those wishing honest ascension to the places open to the making their mark, the doing of their wants, the breaking their enemies know that government is the enclave of those who support it, own it, pay for it, structure it, and that the good support of power should yield either the rewards of help or the rewards of no hindrance.

All of our power seekers let go and let alone  know where and when to stop, know where and when to pull back and not conquer or break, know whom to hurt, whom not to hurt, whom to care nothing about.  What collection of diddling fools need interest groups to speak truth to power, to speak muscle to power unchained, to intimidate the intimidators….the put upon care not who their masters are…. the bells and banjos of political and economic practice, discourse, fodder, talk, philosophy mean a mother load of nothing if the only thing able to be trusted is that whichever bastards gain the upper hand…they are the bastards that will screw you.

Respect for power.  Respect for checks on power.  Respect for survival of the fit.  Respect for being brothers keeper….its so damned complicated.  Better to just screw the one your with.

Dominance Games / Politics: Non heathen governance

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

Dominance Games:

Some grow to accomplish great things and in their awe and satisfaction with their own achievements wish to join the ranks of the governing classes.  These are all by far public spirited poachers who feel that doing right is doing good and that doing good is doing better.  Power and position are simply mere trappings of a calling that enables the true and honorable among us to show their wares and shine in the spotlights of public service.

Many come and go but those who come well prepared and well propped, well fed, well connected, and well heeled understand the nature of the arena to which they aspire.  They will be singled out and praised, sought after and looked at…they will become the apple in the eye of those whom they may serve.

it is for the public good that these brave souls toil.  It is for the good and welfare of their communities, their regions, their states, their country that they work.  The future is something that they can shape,  They can help secure it for their own and their charges.  It is good to be able to shape the future,  It is good to be able to shape the present.  It is good to be able to shape debate, shape policy, shape paths towards freedom and righteousness and clean laundry.  Governance is for the strong, the secure, the wise, the secure, the able.  All of our aspirants are able.

All of our aspirants are there to learn, to judge, to listen, to know.  We ache for the fine men and women of public virtue.

Governance is good.  It is noble.  It is hard work and sure trouble.  It is a the high calling.

It, then, is to our great joy and happiness that we get aspirants who strive to do public work and not aspirant who strive to do public sin.  Seeking power is what the good guys do when they know that they are always right.  Seeking power is what the good guys do when they know the wind is at their backs and that the wind blows them towards shores of riches and rewards.  Seeking power is what politics is all about.  Doing something with power is what those capable of seeing past their tortured little souls are never quite able to get right.  This take a quiet desire to understand what exactly governance is supposed to achieve.  This takes knowing that governance is all about being king and having the ability to lop off heads at whim and will.  We love our little aspirants.  They are so basic.

Dominance Games: Don’t worry. Be happy.

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , , , on October 8, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games  Politics

What crisis?  What financial crises?  What jobs crisis?  What problems?  You think you got problems.. What stinkin’ problems.  The headlines are good.  The blowhards are good.  Sells aspirin,  Sells headlines.  Sells blowhards.  Sells headaches.  Sells conflict for dummies.  All an illusion.  All a chimera, a phantasm, a piece of bread and circuses for the starved leaches.

All political theater.  All story all the time.  All narrative all the time.  Have to have heroes.  Have to have villains.  Have to have conflict, fight, arrogance, dispute, high drama, low resolve.  Have to have spurned virtue, breech of promise, hurt feelings, deranged extremists…anything to keep it rolling, keep it rolling, keep it rolling.  No profit peace.  No fun reason.  No financial backing conflict resolution.  Power goes to power, not peace.

Rational people solve problems.  They roll up their sleeves and solve problems.  They see problems.  They don’t like problems.  They are incentified to seek solutions, do something possible, constructive.  Other than self aggrandizement what are the problems noted in our great ship of state that those who have the power to approach see?  Actions proclaim that there are none.  Don’t worry.  Be happy.

Dominance Games: Vaudeville

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, opinion, political analysis, Politics with tags , , , , , , , , on August 24, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Vaudeville for ever.  Acts in time.

Policy choices, policy discussions, policy circuses, stances, beliefs ……  center stage.   A million barking dogs, grand contortionists, mighty plate spinners, soaring scripts,  headlining little tools …..the honor of the honor,  the flame of the flame.  Prance and sing, overripe shamelessness is a proud papa.  Gives birth to pollutable air.

With hand over heart, with status and acceptance, certainly and forever, the entertainment medium of politics.  The stuff that counts is gamed long before.  Most sturdily, public vaudeville staging pays the bills, gets sold as the stuff of the big show, the stuff matters.  Tis for the melody of the song, the farce of the comedy, the tempest of the flowing beauty of mother love, the dance of seven veils of misdirection. the fine chimeras veils of the great American epic.

Hell bent for leather all romps  endure in lightness and froth, existences imbedded, archaic, innately sparkling….  thrills of the stage, agonies of tired acts, horrors of the hook from the side…. the thrills of the moments when the act hits and self definition derives for ever.  Self aggrandizement is a wonderful prize.

Fine lines and deficient hoaxes come and go but the fine wines of salutary public approbations live forever.  Oh, the thrill of the applause.  The stone of a heart.
