The games of mirrors. The games of phantoms, hubris, the ephemeral, the sharp knife . The violent moves towards preservation. The games viewed in the prisms of desires and the choice of wars.
The aims of the seekers of wisdom, truths, pocketbooks. Calculated to the fine points of wishes and wants, projections of bodiless harm the obstructionist is the way of progress. Long term. Short term.
The beast of the devil kills and the swarms of ideas with which he pollutes, eases out the roughage and the use the club. The scalpel, the lethal injection beat down the point. The toughest, meanest fighter in the room fights for freedom. War is good.
Starve the government beast. Preserve order of attainable influence. Hold the crying towel and work the needy. Suffering makes for the accomplishing of adulthood. Suffering makes for stress that kills. We’ve come a long way from where we’ve been so shut up and die. We have a long way to go so celebrate the pain.
Cringe and beg. Survive or not. Cull the herd. Break the bank. Put square pegs in round holes. Hate losers. Hate winners. Hate the need for security. Hate the desire for security. Love the nanny state. Love help from the regulating nazies. Save the body. Free the soul. Save the soul. Free the body. Pick who to gets hurt. They have no use. In the short term. In the long term. It is always necessary to marginalize.
The logic of rigidity demands fidelity to principle. The logic of principle demands not fidelity to logic. Aims demand gain. Gain demands what it can. Gain is the winner. A beachhead to call a permanent home is sought. Gain is sought.
The wellspring from which to establish a mean base of violent attack is the warriors dream. Boys and their toys, girls and their whirls. The tools to ravage and conquer. Desirable ends. What else is it all about? The passionate logic of passion picks the runners. The passionate logic of runners fancies the passion. Nobody does nothin’ foe nothin’. Aims are true. The knives are out.
Passions dictate tactics. Win what there is to win. Life in the sun. Victory is what you make of it. Killers kill. Elections are for bottom feeders. Elections are for killers.

Dominance Games: Dominance Games: Prior to sinking the ships of state
Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags Big government, Commentary, current events, Democracy, Executive (government), Government, opinion, political commentary, politics, politics noir, power, Public interest, Righteousness, social criticism, Unintended consequences, writing on May 28, 2011 by B SchiffFor viewing pleasure there are always the perfect villains and perfect fools of the corridors of power using the levers that they hold in order to work things out in ways workable. Checks and balances work in so far as there is the ability to execute. Laws, after all, are just means to direct the execution of the power of the state. With the governed increasingly unwilling to abide by the sanctions of the state directions lead to one of two outcomes. Either a tightening of force or the grip of the powerful or the fragmentation of power without cohesive structure or finely tuned apparatus to enforce unknowable rules and standards.
The games may be different in different places and systems but the principle is the same. No agreement on an umbrella political structure gives way to the savageries of power plays and power grabs. Corruption is not corruption. It becomes the order of disorder with, in the extremes , the order of death.
Fragmented views of society are wished for by those in opposition to the order that is. Push too far and hoped for new orders become no order what so ever. Allegiances to cohesion are hard allegiances when corrupting power wanes out of control. Allegiances to fraction and divisiveness are not attractive measures when they invite a broken world without recourse to fixing. A non lethal state can be mended best from within. A lethal state invites the danger of getting better or worse.
Firebrands would do well to judge the level of real toxicity prior to sinking their ships of state. Puzzlers ponder answers, define not questions. The powers of those in the catbirds seat always trump rage and rant.
The self interest of the fears and cries of the put upon is dear. Perceptions are often eternally skewed. Perceptions of power bases are often eternally skewed. Readings of power bases are often eternally flawed.
In the rush to build government, the rush to build equity, firmness grabs often by the short hairs. Whom gets whom by them, the short hairs? The world is the world of unintended consequence. Who rages for these, the unintended consequence? Those who risk too much for too little or those who risk too little for too much. Lasting fancy and gifts from the devil make martyrs out of the righteous. The righteous put much good in play and much good in jeopardy. Judgement is a hard to come by commodity. Laws may be a sham. Too much fracture and the trust of the populace is lost. Too little and is is co-opted.
