Dominance Games / Politics: The sweetly malignant

Dominance Games / Politics

The numbers say that 99 percent is more than 1 percent.   The power says that 1 percent is more than 99 percent.  The 99 percent are nicely split between those who think they’re getting shafted and those who think they’re just being stopped from licking the boots of the kings and queens.  Upward mobility means playing the game of the ones who own the store.  Any competent realist knows that.

The sweetly malignant of the 99 percent wish to tear down all that is holy…not unlike the sweetly malignant of the tea’s and their ilk.  The little devils want either a rogue malignancy of the left or the right.  The others wish America to be America….definition to be determined by what ever megalomaniac is in the defining mood.

The problem seems to stem from the point of view of the boys and girls on the economic outs.  Do they see a rigged game.  If they see a rigged game do they see it rigged by by those who stop producers from running amok or by those who stop suckers from getting a piece of the systemic and economic action?  It seems as though the powerless should be able to identify the powerful and the suckers should be able to identify the way they are played.  But alas not.  The devils of our hearts have to stay the bad guys until beyond all hope and beyond all reason they can be seen as bearable.  In this climate that is a tough out.  The devils of our hearts are simple beings that need to bear the brunt of our comfort zones and frustrations.  They just will never leave.  The devils of our hearts are that which we see behind every tree and shrub, bush and factors talking sense.

Dominance Games / Politics: The bettors are smart folk who know their marks

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

Dominance Games / Politics

Tis the vaunted special season of political persuasion here, there and every which way but loose.  Sham actors, politicos,  pros, advertising geniuses lack not money, restraint, conscience, morality, honor.  With  character traits reflective of little personal worth other than the usual banal drives towards wealth and power our message makers humble themselves to communicate with us, the dead.  They read into our mystic psyches and us growling masses growl and seek the red meat of battle.

Arts and science and the accumulating wisdom of the prosperous schemers, looters, owners, breakers, haters, intimidators and reprobates tell true of success for the taking and obnoxia, distortion, demon bating, sneering for eternal truth and secular wants. The carrion appeal to the better natures of our beings enable us lords of stature and  brutish heels of repulsion.  Sad, mad, chosen calculations to be sure.

Approached, factored, fractured, and given the charge for the triumphant lame and the happily weak of mind and will, strivers strive

Postulates, apostates, seers and cynics love the great unwashed and see only fair game for their driven snow.  Through vague mists of hope they see and seek a vile and little and mean little audience.  The wealth of the wealthy and corrupt gets spent well for the true right pandering to reach its begging audience.  This wealth is not squandered,  not spent for fun.  The many marks are noted and the bets are placed.  The bettors are smart folk who know well their charming marks.

Dominance Games / Politics: Halloween

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

Dominance Games / Politics

So you hate your congressperson.  So congress is terminally flawed and irredeemably flatulent.  So the winds of wonder never touch down when those in congress choose to make it out of their draconian dens and their edifices of rubble.  So the sun never shines where they trundle and the quality of life on earth only spirals downward whenever and wherever they open their mouths and try not to be too transparently soulless.

So they’re all vile and evil and laughable and psychically, morally, intellectually bankrupt.  So when they do anything but stand in the way of opportunity growth, sense, reason, spirit they foam at the mouth and pass rabies to all with whom thy come in contact.

Flay them.  Slay them.  Admonish them.  Make them oafs of derision.  Hammer them. Waltz with them.  Club them.   They will not die.  The will go on and on and on forever.  Forever and a day.  And the day after that.  They will be eternal.  The beasts who will not die.  The beasts who will not melt.  The beasts who will keep coming and coming and groping and groping.

How in hell are you going to get rid of them.  It ain’t in the script.  It ain’t in the picture.  Monsters never die.  They have better tricks and better agents than you do.

Dominance Games / Politics: Show biz is show biz. Dumb stays dumb.

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , , , , on October 20, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games:

Show biz is show biz.  Dumb stays dumb.

In the absence of any real chance to have real people do real things to effect solid policy we get always true stock players and actors for comic relief leading the eternal ratings bonanza of the many loves of the desperate dance prancers of the mawkish melodies of karaoke….. always public spectacle, circus, show, campaign, talk.  Politics as the soft breezes that caresses the day.

Were there a real demand for virtuous speech and honest policy a demand that had some strength and force and a magnitude of pressure then the product given might be something different and become then the boring earnest gab fest done by those who are policy wonks and technocrats and goal oriented softies.

The grand free marketplace of political discourse has responded over and over again to the demands put upon it to keep using the bells and whistles and keep sending out the B actors and commercial product/placement players that fill the void of off time programming and sullied lives that is the solid entertainment of political farce.

We demand in our political markets certain drama, certain heroes, certain villains, certain forms of shadow dance.  We accept the game as it is and wallow it its debauchery.  The efficient market then gives us sun and fun and sweet nothings made up of feckless promise and grand sham.  There is no there there.  Our political games are show games and they are nice posteriors and sweet projections.  Central casting gives us plot, words, story, character….all is the process, the marketing.  All good entertainment has / lets the show become the reality.  The demand is for mindless entertainment, quick thrills, blood curling tempests.  The showmen have long experience and vast knowledge.  Show biz is show biz.  Dumb stays dumb.

Dominance Games: Principles

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

Dominance Games / Politics

We all love the hard charging bastions of faith and practitioners of principle.  Those of principle are hard to find….they are special and they need to be encouraged to keep their purity.  It matters not whether or not their principles are well thought out, are the results of deep soul searching and a quest for understanding and enlightenment…principles are sacred and principles are what defines a true, honest man or woman of special ethical rank and privilege.  It a principled thing to be principled.

When dealing with principles it is never right to question motives or analysis.  It must be taken as rote that the true premises upon which the edifices of and towers of certain integral truths are built are premises worth having, worth promoting, worth seeking to use to enslave others not so enlightened.  It is impolitic and impolite to mention that many monsters of history were also true to their principles…except, sadly, those principles didn’t do well by their many unfortunates in opposition.

In vaunted democracy is it principled to honor the dictates of conflicting ideas working their way through the scrutinies of time and effort or is it principled to declare oneself the messiah of thoughts who knows well enough the dictates of God and hell…..  who knows well enough that the principles of ones adversaries are spawns of a corrupting devil.

Our true principled wonders…our new saviors everywhere of  grand and rancid morality…… sell always the sizzle not the steak…. sell the holiness, not the idea.  Who could argue with principled martyrs?  Another last bastion of worthless scoundrels.

Dominance Games / Politics: A world that never was

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, political analysis, Politics with tags , , , , , , on September 26, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Back in the beginning, after the days of 9/11, when there was threat in the air, danger in the air, uncertainty in the air, moral clarity in the air, unity of conviction, unity of hope, unity of purpose, pride in a nation of solid footing, moral standards, tattered regrets….there was a glimpse of a glowing dawn.

A longing wish for a world of rational, fine actors looking to establish the hopes and dreams of coordinated right and coordinated might for right; a longing wish for a world of pristine hearts of honor going off to challenge the ravages of hell induced souls who delved all to deeply in meals of distortion and hate…..dreams, envies, wishes of false atonement.   It was the call to vanquish the rancid self mocking words and deeds,  self lathering wretched fantasies covered with hardened ignorance and the fervors of those who have nothing save the capacity for fervor to expand upon.

There was then a time, a moment, an instant when the world turned, when there was in that world an opening for the better natures of our spirits, when there was in that world an opening for the truths of our hearts, our nobility, our fierce sense of our mythic selves, the fierce prides built into the fabrics of our character, the sacrifices, sweats, toils, dreams, judgements of those who lived once to do the good and the right.

There was then a time, a moment, an instant when all was possible going forward, all was willing to be sacrificed, all were willing to be asked tough things going forward.  There was a then a time when the stars were aligned by craven accident and true national character cried out to be in play, to be shown the flag, to be shown the meanings of creating worlds free from regressions, scavenging, craving, coveting, callous, insignificant, humorless, self righteous damning souls.

There was that moment.

There was moderation in the worlds that spawned our attackers.  There was adulation and appreciation for our land that still stood for the greatest aspirations that men and women could stand for.  There was a rallying for the right to make evil an unattractive entry, a entity that could not forever stand support from its self interested backers.  There was that…all that.

Great nations, great peoples seize the moment,  seize the initiative, seize the chance, the gifts the fickle gods can bestow.

Great nations, great peoples are not supposed to fail.

Dominance Games: Sustenance

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , , , on September 14, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

The more we do it the more we love it.  The more we love it the more do it.  The more that do it the more worthy and sensuous and unforgiving it becomes.  The more worthy and sensuous  and unforgiving it becomes the easier it is to do, the more points you get for doing it.

Love the hate you love.  Love the feeling it gives, the salve it creates.  Love the joy of pristine meadows it awakens in our hearts.

Hateful hate and rancid kills are good.  They fuel the libido.  They fuel the spleen, the spit, the mad gyrations of undulating pleasure.  They fuel the self loathing and manic love of kills and such.

Worry about a candidate who can think, one who can talk, one who live hypocrisy and deviousness, one who’s crooked, corrupt, mean, dirty, rotten, shallow.  Who really cares?  If the wonder bates the one you bate, hates the one you hate, mates the ones you mate, beats the bastards down with a stick, takes no prisoners, cuts no swath…the troubadour, the viral infection,he, she or it is your man, woman or thing.  If the wonder tears the jugular, stomps the carcass, cleats the face, smiles, sneers and snarls then you got your hero, heroine, man, woman or it that can do no wrong sing no sad songs and can be forgiven all of the ills of mankind. Love the ones you hate.  Love the ones who do it best.  Love the ones who give morning to America…the fresh morning where civilized human beings are stomped into mush.

Dominance Games: Afflict the comfortable

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

Dominance Games / Politics

Fools and weaklings are of a mind to comfort the afflicted, afflict the comfortable. Communism, socialism, the nanny state, the redistribution of toady-ism, the turning of ones back upon the needs for self justification of the self justified.

The comfortable have no faults, no vices, no needs.  The afflicted have no power, no ways to hurt other than to bleed dry those who are not afflicted, have no way to access the spigot of the worlds money trees.

A difference there is between attacking those with power and those without.  Those with it had best be able to handle that which they dish out.  Those without it had better be able to survive.

Big men and women attack the powerful.   Small men and women attack the afflicted.  The heart goes with those who challenge the gods.  The twisted pleasures of throwing cats off of roofs goes with those who challenge the weak.

Use brains to understand accomplishment.  Use civilization to understand the self righteous bores who cant look at a poor person out of work without affixing upon him the blame.

Oligarchies are for winners.
