Dominance Games: The up yours business

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

Dominance Games / Politics

All of the geniuses have plans.  They have economic plans.  They have jobs plans.  They have plans to get their brother in  laws a job.

All of the geniuses promise that if a A happens then B happens then C happens  then the stars shine brighter, the sun caresses warmly.

Has there ever been a plan that was anything more than political fodder playing to political wants, hates, prejudice, lust.  Has there ever been a plan that had the slightest chance of seeing the light of day once its useful moment has passed, once reality bit it in the wrong place?

Has there ever been a commission that has been more than window dressing?  Has there ever been sound words that have not been ignored, lame words that have not been taken to heart.

Plans and commissions are in the gloss over business.  The real action is in the up yours business.  Follow the hate.

Dominance Games: It’s the politics stupid

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

Dominance Games / Politics

So, what enthralls us going forward into glorious autumn?

It’s the politics stupid.  It’s the show, the sun, the cheap saloons, the stunts, the runts, the rascals, the clowns.  It’s the villains, the scum, the lords, the masters.

It’s the politics stupid.  It’s the talk, the squawk, the spies, the lies, the sins, the spins, the sprinkles of dew.  It’s the politics stupid.  The rants, the raves, the prancers, the dancers.  The running of the bulls, the choirs of the night, the messengers from god, the songs from mammon, the hateful hates, the favorite sons, the favorite guns, the favorite suns.

It’s the politics stupid.  The steady haze, the frosty glare, the wistful sneer, the true beliefs.  It’s the politics stupid.  The holy rollers, the holy redeemers, the Knights Templars, the rats in a cage.

It’s the selling of the trolls, the souls, the buying of the betrayals of loves, the pandering to fish, the abstinence from thought, the self love of self involvement, of self absorption, self decapitation, self promotion, selves wonderful.

It’s the politics stupid.  The charm, the grace, the criers, the buyers, the deniers, the crowds.  It’s the politics stupid.  The flames, the games, the foibles, the trips.  Its the traps, the plays, the bathos, the pathos, the dirty little limericks, the fretful little brows.

It’s the politics stupid.  The incoherent thoughts of incoherent fools and dead folk out for a stroll.  It’s the politics stupid. The demon’s dance, the mysteries of life, the gifts of light.

Minds working, smoking, seeking, praying, straying, gone.  It’s the politics stupid. It’s the angels dancing, promises lost, hearts broken.

It’s the politics stupid.  The end of the line, the rules of the game, the never ending chance to never seek redemption.

Dominance Games: The rotten entertainment of cystic scum

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, opinion, political analysis, political science, Politics with tags , , , , , , on August 31, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Drug Cartels funding anti drug campaigns.   Political power players funding laws destabilizing the disenfranchised.   Those able to manipulate smaller governing bodies favoring anti intrusive small government.  Anti government infrastructure movements not wishing money to go to unions.  Avowed anti capitalists wishing controls over the work force.

Shadow boxing is always shadow boxing.  Tactics are always tactics.  Strategy is always strategy.  When logic is insufficient in explaining the lack of common sense based outcomes and policies money and power lead the way.  When practicality of action and result gets swamped in a morass money and power hoe the road.  When suckers get suckered against their own best interests and they are sold the lie, buy the fiction, are put on the market to be bought and sold as the chattel they are, they screech mightily with the joys of groveling pigs.

Big interests have big interests, do things quietly when then can, loudly when they must.  Fools have big interests, get played all the time, believe that the interests of the interested who are ready, willing and able to swat them down.  The poor put upon feel that the interests of their betters coincide with the interest of the suckers who are fed peanuts and given bread and circuses.  Poor drab little lives…. sell what there is of a soul for the rotten entertainment of cystic scum.

Dominance Games: Degenerative politics

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, opinion, political analysis, Politics with tags , , , , , on August 30, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Degenerative politics and lack of reason based dialogue or policies aimed at a broadening of the base of those with a stake in participatory democracy leads quite naturally and quite rationally to politics based upon the obtaining of  the love of the more and most virulent of peoples,  to going after those few pickings left to be had in ways worthy of necessary survival.

The lesser pies, the lesser options for thought, for belonging, for cultural inclusions, for paths  to worthwhile labor, worthwhile opportunity, education, realistic sustainable markets with money, are all there to be met with deadening dismissiveness by those who wish only their accruals of the powers available.

As it is always in such things use of power for power’s sake is an end unto itself.  The more firmly based on doctrinaire, unquestioning thought a system may become, the more prone it is to be mastered by those whose strategy is the imposition of stringent rules of behavior, stringent rules for thought, more purity of vision, more muscling out of opposition in the name of holy virtue.  The game goes always here to the muscle, the power.  The rewards go to the partisans, the toadies.  The system goes the way of all such systems …to the dogs of war, the dogs of rulers of might, the dogs of unreasoned arbitrary law.

The power to maximize the shrinking collateral-able resources of a bankrupt society is always the aim of the rats who cannot leave a sinking ship.  Strength and intellectual thuggery is always the unthuggish currency, the be all and end all.  The rest is all dressed up as excuse.

Dominance Games: American Exceptionalism ll

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, political science, Politics with tags , , , , , , on August 25, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

A hell of a great country.  The rugged individual, the not so rugged individual can buck the system, pursue prurient dreams, become a hell of man, becomes a hell of a woman.

A hell of a great country.  Freedom is an aspiration.  Freedom of movement is an act from god.  Freedom of thought is an untarnished ideal of angels.  Freedom from fools is not always guaranteed.

Work hard and succeed….. when there is work.  Think hard and succeed…. when there is education.  Charge hard when the road is not blocked.  Charge harder when it is.  Go out in style when there is no pie left to divvy up.

The sacred images, the ideals, the kind hearts and coronets.  The dream lovely, lofty, a giant of a dream.  The pursuits of man, of woman, his or her path to greatness…the magnificent cause celeb in human events….. the chance.  The wonder, the magnificent wonder….inspired, inspiring, haunting.

Kill the suckers who fall down and are left behind.  Make the poor bastards go away and hide.  Play musical chairs with the musical entry into the shadowy image of the dwindling middle classes and see simple dreams thrown back into the faces of the believers.

Keep the chances coming.  Inherit the winds of change.  Ride the backs of the bucking broncs of toughness.  Stand for progress.  Stand for work, striving, the individual unfettered and left to fend for himself.  Tough can survive anything…even the lack of sustenance and the rings of fire around chance.  There should never be however that little help from ones friends…and ones friends need only be the ones that make one jump through the hoops submissiveness and do the dances of subservience.

Strive to let all keep heads high with respect golden and paths shining and out of hell.  No paths … grow a muscle.

Trickle down the follies of avarice.  Trickle them down and set up a pool for drowning.  Just watch out who ends in the pool in the end.  Tough is good.  Mean is better.

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.

Dominance Games: Bias

Posted in current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , on August 22, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

There is not really a deep bias towards simplicity and dullness in our political class.  It just seems that way because of that which they say and do.  There is not really a deep bias towards simplicity and dullness in our chattering class.  It merely seems that way because of that which they say and do.  They all open their mouths and do the Herculean deed of speaking in complete recognizable sentences.

There is not really a deep bias towards simplicity and dullness in our news and views class, our information and our attention span class.  It merely seems that way because of that which they say and do.    The proud delights of dumbing reinforcement abound in the proud delights of the snaking mantras of the sirens of the songs of bate and lust that are our daily bread.

There is not really a deep bias towards simplicity and dullness in our wants and dreams class.  It merely seems that way because of that which they say and do.  We are all tired souls who are too lazy not to dance with the ones what brung us and the one what brung us are useless and there.

There is not really a deep bias towards simplicity and dullness in our hunt for the joys and privileges of stroking more and more self satisfied glory hounds class.  It merely seems that way because of that which they say and do.   We who have the substance of air and the stability nitro glycerine salute the brave and the demure.

There is not really a deep bias towards simplicity and dullness in our minds, hearts,  listening habits, our sweet reason reason class.  That is accepted glory.  A bias towards form and substance, symmetry and verve, anything else would be treason.  Sentient beings and hard assed comeuppance to overt stupidity are a danger to survival.  God damn please a bias towards tough minded reason.

Dominance Games: Gone with the wind

Posted in current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , on August 21, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Once upon a time there were honest to goodness people with honest to goodness feeling that individuals with honest to goodness stature and gravitas were not to be taken as or made to be the butts of jokes and labeled by the inbred dumb as far too staid, stentorian, measured, thoughtful, enlightened to be considered as anything other than a mad caricature of a certoonish high school principal or a needless boring uncle who seems to know too damned much.

Honor falls not today upon the worldly and wise.  Respect falls not today upon the responsible and true.  By definition, the elite, the worldly and wise are morally bankrupt elitists by nature, elitists by will, elitists insight, elitists by understanding.  Tinker with thought, gravitate towards deliberation, have not the fire in the belly to bay at the moon ….. be an abject failure and no excuse for a man.  Have headaches from unreasoned slogans in the thinking, let alone the telling and be a weak link in a dead chain

The self aggrandizing preeners who have the temerity to actually know some things that the happy dull populi do not are surly worth giving the mark of Cain.  Such folk are vile beyond their pretensions and their cystic flair.  They are of and for the useless drivel that respects things cultural and humanistic, realistic and tough.  learning, deliberation, knowledge, thought brought into the equations of hard decisions are for school girls and infants.

These are the constituencies of the non faithful, the questioners, the non didactic, the skeptics.  These are the weak sisters who are  that which the ignorant wish them to seem.

The future lies with those of action and certainty, those of bluff and megalomania, those of noxious speech and little respect for the quality of public discourse, the pandering to public nonsense.  The future lies with the vacant and the empty…… they have less to lose when they empty their heads in order to open their mouths.  Mostly nothing.

Dominance Games: Rational agendas have no constituencies

Posted in current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , on August 19, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

It isn’t so lame or innocuous any more to feel constantly disheartened as talk, debate, speech, interview today happily exists as just one big jellying hyper cloud of haunting dimwits with base metal tarnishing appeal.  Arguing over and again and again and over that their points are valid because they wish them to be so, that their points are valid because because they make their enemies look bad, that their points are valid because they make their enemies look vile and useless, that their points are valid because because they are not really able to or capable of gathering any real facts or drawing any real right and honest to goodness logical conclusions.

False argument, a total denial of scientific method, a fond denial of conclusions built upon solid testable premise… ahhh, the rage and all the profit.  When appealing to the searing self justifying emotions and abject hate of demonizing wonders one must use the tools at hand, the tools of the trade… one must throw out and master the big lie, throw out and master the loud voice, the love for mother and country, the call to arms, the call to freedom, the call to the rights of all individuals to be brazen know nothings and false idiot savants.

The small dreams and pitiful yearnings of those who are the truth and true believers of their own minds will spare us not our righteous bores, our intimidating clowns, our scornful vessels incapable of synthesizing two opposing ideas….incapable of understanding two opposing ideas.  Love instead the thought police.

the trash of public discourse has many containers, many walking toxic junk piles and wiggling junk heaps.  Little filters of any note stand straight against raging loudmouth shriekers and bullying honorees.  Who to question the logic, the hypocrisy, the false equivalency of mouthed dribble.  Who to not promote the same and more.  Tis always agenda time on the dweeby merry go round…. always agenda time and eternal virus of hoof and mouth….all  slick and sick agendas are honored and bagged for ratings. Rational agendas have no constituencies.

Dominance Games: Trust ll

Posted in current events, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , on August 17, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics………

There are all of the various and sundry monopolies, oligarchies, crushing plutocracies.  There are all of the various forms of venal despotism, authoritarianism.  state communism, fascism  There is always the innate fear of the private pirates, too big to fail, bigger than a bread box, more powerful than a boat load of ineffective governments.  There is always the innate fear of the overbearing state pigeon holing movement , defining movement, corralling thought and movement.

Always there is justifiable fear of the extreme life sucking excesses, the extreme life sucking excesses of the killers, owners, breakers, banal and evil micro managers of  gloaming of pride and lofty pursuit.

All folk great and small wish trust to be a factor.  All folk great and small wish trust in the self regulation of the powerful, trust that those unfettered by balancing forces will do no harm. All folk great and small like to dream the good dream, refuse to identify the marches of reality with their own forces of choice, refuse to identify the marches of reality with the enemies of their enemies.

Self righteous partisans see no harm, feel no threats, talk talks vile, eat sweet meats of false faith.  Who checks the bosses?  Who afflicts the comfortable, comforts the afflicted.  Who believes in the tooth fairies of assigned good intentions?

The public good is always best served by the free hands of the power classes.  Give it too them, power.  They will run with it.
