Dominance Games: Worldly and wise and above the fray. Beauty upon a pedestal of sin.

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, political analysis, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 2, 2011 by B Schiff

Sex is here .  Sex is here.  Its sex time in the Rockies.  All over the world.  Its sex time for you and me.

The mine fields.  The trip wires.  The lofty sophistications.  The awkward hypocrisies.  The farm animals.  The sweethearts.  The fun and games; they never let you down.

The death knells.  The transgressors.   The political bodies that go bump in the night.

The easy prey and easy speech that are  grounded in lustful eyes.  The tepid prose and judgements of priests of lowly scum.

Ripped scabs and doleful longings never let disdainful smiles not have fun for breakfast.  Damn with little praise the drugstore cowboy and the flatulent screamer.  The meaninglessness of trysts,  the sins of them, the wanting wanting for more.  Acting out is heaven in the details.  Float the urges sacred and pristine.

….Our women are our toys, our property, our scourge, our curse.  They are our partners, our masters, our antagonists,  our beauty upon a pedestal of sin.

Sex and costs.  Sex and costs.   Sex and costs.

The cost benefit analysis of bad behavior.   The cost benefit analysis of wished for behavior, of groping behavior, of the fire in the belly, disgrace in the heart behavior.  The cost benefit analysis of self protection and good grace.

The rancid use of the currencies of power make many a Jack a dull boy.  The libido, the laughs, the plays for bargains.  The objects of desire need be so. The objects of property need be that way also.  Tis more precise fun in the winning.

The privileges of ownership and its perks and the whip hand   The misty dew all over the world.  have enough of the currencies of use and coercion, of choice and fun and thrills a minute.  Take as need to be taken.  Make as need be made.  Give as need be given.  Use well.   Use all.  Use all over the everywhere.  Everywhere.  Here and there.  In all civilized places.

…..And the rest of us go dawdle, watch, love, fly in false sophistication.   The rest of us dive, tunnel, resist, puff up with  false bravado.  The sharpies ply with false modesty.  The holy with false stories, sinful villains, despicable users, pirates, breakers, killers, owners and bums.   The fear, the force, the repression, the troves of license.

It is good to be worldly and wise and above the fray.

Dominance Games: Game it. Break it. The sneer is good. Love the sneer.

Chaos and frivolity.  Balkanization and one man’s Balkans is another mans sacred homeland.  Small victories for the dissolution of Union.  Small victories for the fixing of the game of union.  Coming and going we get it going; tricks and high wires, circuses and clowns and sober, moral grown adults interested in their firmly held beliefs that these are the ways of and to a better world.  Win or secede.  Break with my enemies or play him out and down and useless.  The grand narcissism of all of the grand narcissists and grand ages is a grand narcissism.

Why accommodate or bother with rank rotten bastards that are vain and dumb and just don’t have the brains or brawn that a baby seal is born with.  Why let them strip my manhood, break my faith, sully my intellectual prowess, stomp on my self righteousness, laugh at my wisdom.  Forget about it.  I’m gone or maybe I be breaking your back.  C’est la vie sucker.  Blank your mother’s dog.

Redistrict.  Redistrict.   Nullify the Feds.   Run the scam.  Blank the scam.  Use em or lose em……They sure as hell ain’t worth a pitcher of warm spit. States rights.  Right the states.  Scum and things……All government is scum and things.  Game it.  Break it.  The sneer is good.  Love the sneer.

Dominance Games: Company thugs and union goons would like to come back

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 31, 2011 by B Schiff

Ahh, the mind set.  Ahh, the prejudices.  Ahh, the soul of a vital capital economy with the moxie and guts to be great.  The drive.  The resource.  The navigations of the rough seas of competition with the wind not enough at your back.  The iron will.  The self determination.  The drive.  The pride.  The heart of the risk taker.  The grand traits of a grand country.  B e they ever cherished and honored, celebrated and reflected upon.  Scrap and fight.  Hustle and move.  Do what has to be done.  Build and build.  Empire, good empire.  Hard scrabble and brass knuckles.  It ain’t so damned easy.  Spit and get off of the floor.  Keep coming.  Keep coming.  Keep coming.  Winning is tough.  Keeping turf is tough.  Building is tough.  This is romance.  This is steel.

Ahh the poor inferior helpless.  Unschooled, unable, unwarranted, unloved.  Ahh, the comfortable dependents upon the sweat and work of others.  The path is there for the traveling.  The stakes are there for the taking.  Life’s owes nothing but death and squalor.  Manna from the haves to the needy is manna earned.  Work is production.  Production creates sustenance.  No production.  No sustenance.  No sustenance….no survival.

All is fair always in the market place.  It is self defining.  The ones who corner the means and methods win.  The ones who take away extreme power do so as a protective measure.  The winners win only so long as the system has the backing of state sanctioned law or force…or non state sanctioned law or force.  There are no guarantees that the winners won’t push themselves over a cliff.  There are no guarantees that the losers will go quietly.

Survival for all requires the hording of force and the use thereof.  Company thugs and union goons have had their time in the sun.  They would like to come back

Dominance Games: Capitulation wins the day

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on May 30, 2011 by B Schiff

And the virulent shall be pure and the pure shall lead and the true shall beckon heaven and the good shall be forthright.

And the secure shall be strong and the tolerant shall falter and the self righteous shall be our sultry light in the skies.

And the humble shall be honored and the loud shall not be silenced.  The quiet shall not simmer.  The reflective shall have no time, shall have no home.  The reflective shall be taught to do no other thing.

The rich shall be of fire.  The poor shall be of disdain.  The winds shall not be of reaping.  The thieves shall not be of compromise.

Backs shall be straight.  Limbs shall be strong.  Aim shall be true.  Thoughts shall be lustful.

Home shall be where the heart is.  The righteous shall right all wrongs.

The fire in the belly shall be not sated.  The searing sting of justice shall not wane.  The heart of the hunters shall not go unused.  The prey of the hunters shall not hide.

The living miasma of organic thought shall truck no compromise.  The beating hearts of hope shall not be abandoned.  The pure and the true shall not be sullied by remorse or retribution.  The powerful shall not fear their lives.

Freedom from hurt.  Hurt the world commodity.  Killers kill.  Owners own. Breakers break.  Change comes from forces  accommodating  the lusts of the disenfranchised, the lusts of the put upon, the lusts of the thugs, the lusts of the head bangers, the vile rots who can hurt.

A sword for the swordless.  A knife for the knifeless.   Power for the powerless.  A guarantee of fear to the fearless, fear of retribution to the winless, fear of recrimination to the lossless, fear of death to the daft, the dank dreamers, the wayward skunks.

Satiate the lust of the lustful, the hates of the hard, the blood lust of the thirsty.  Dreams are pleasant.  Talk is good.  Will is cheap.  Work works nicely.  Capitulation wins the day.

Dominance Games: Dominance Games: Prior to sinking the ships of state

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 28, 2011 by B Schiff

For 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.

Dominance Games: The rank prancers and weak dittos

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 27, 2011 by B Schiff

They are the masters of mirth, the procurers of entertainment, the light show, the tinder box.  They are the answer to questions not asked, the question to answers not given.  They appear and disappear at will, the phantasms of dimension, the spines of the spineless.  They endure mightily as they are endurable.  They are smart and free thinking rotted plants.

The come to tell us that they are special, that they think, act, feel, maim.  They promise to promise.   They promise to spew.  They are too damned  base and too damned foolish.

Mean well.  Do well.  Be well.  Be of hard scrabble worth and  abundant luminescence.  Have voice, privilege, a mound of dirt and a pile of rubble  upon which to speak.  Represent.  They represent.  They are the strong special grifters who grift well with rocks and stones.  Ones of a kind.   Cream rising to the top.  The bats in the belfry.

Into nether world jobs they go.  Whistling and skipping and wailing and scheming,  swords of mighty justice they are.  The usual exchangeable parts who fit the slots and make noxious noise they are.  Hordes of independence, realism and thinkers, seers and lemmings swooning gracefully.   Good seering hacks can enjoy the laughter of achievement and ritual, attainment and lobotomy, speciousness and tripe.

Go along,  get along.  Be of the flow.  Offer steam and fall no more.  Great movements mean dead brains.  Why talk when nothing said means a damned thing.  All show all the time.  The virtue in the weak sisters and the hairy apes.  Do any of the rank prancers have the worth to be other than weak dittos?  Love all the damned candidates all the damned time.

Dominance Games: Politics is for suckers. Might is for pros.

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 25, 2011 by B Schiff

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

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.

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.  From the bottom up dreams come true.

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 holy hell of a saintly pedestal upon which the bottom feeders and the  mighty rest and lord.  From the bottom up.

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.

Dominance Games: Hanging from an old oak tree

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, political analysis, political science, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , on May 22, 2011 by B Schiff

The flutters of sensuous hearts and the pulsating loins of girded men get solace and relief from the simple joys of comic release.  The health of and general demeanor of the ravaged put upon demand tonic and home.  The sweet birds and angels of paradise flutter simple wings and make symphonies.  It is always time for salvation.

The sullen stooge and the narrow troll do not yet grasp the salutary effects of feeling good.  The pranksters and the audacious know sure bits to turn to,  sure lures for ribald audiences.  Sweet nights and fancy  are always enlivened by the spark of sparks.

Evermore the fun rises.  Evermore  irrepressible.  Evermore lounging sleepily and languidly.  Evermore enjoying the tides, the cycles of the moon.

The meek shall inherit the earth.  Warm springs always demand immersion.  Salvation always demands its time.  The tree never rots.   The fruit ….hanging low from an old oak tree.  One never forgets wonders.  Always the lynchings

Dominance Games: Showtime

Posted in Commentary, current events, journalism, literature, News, opinion, political analysis, political science, Politics, technology, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 22, 2011 by B Schiff

Privacy.  Intrusion.  Know too damned much about every minute of your every day.  Privacy concerns.  Property concerns.  Monitoring your movements and wagging your tail concerns.  Know thine enemy.  Know thineself.  The watchers and the stalkers know thine and thine all all too well.  Thine and thine just continually give the stuff of total knowledge away and will continue to do so always and forever and after that.

Content.  Freedom.  Information.  Rights to sparklers of knowledge and entertainment.  The whole wide wonderful world we live in  is a whole wide wonderful  entertainment machine….the whole wide wonderful world stage…the whole wide wonderful world players…the whole wide wonderful continual and total intensely soothing and sexually fulfilling voyeurism.  The whole wide wonderful wonderful.

Showtime always by, for and soothing the rank amateurs.  Showtime always by, for and soothing the pristine trusted professionals.  Showtime always by, for and soothing.  All the world … that sweet little stage.

Everyday suckers put on shows, put out viewing material and movement tracking just for the hell of it…good, free open source content providers.  The proprietary stake is just to feed the proprietary beast.  The proprietary rewards are just to feed the proprietary beast.  The proprietary beast is a good over arching blanket.

Others, the proprietary traffic cops of wealth and fame and proprietary traffic builders of moxie and hedonism don’t much like each other as they squirrel around and try very hard ti searingly use each other.  Each, alone, poor little victims of the information age.  Interfere with the dissemination of everything and everybody and a poor wretched little business model is threatened.  Interfere with the owning and keeping of proprietary content and nonsense and nobility of purpose is damned and forgotten.  Intellectual property…we have so little…lets take it.  Intellectual property…so very hard to come by …lets hoard it and sully it.   All  get and give a little piece of the  show.  Ticket sales.  Ticket sales.  Let them all prosper.  A fabulous waste of time.  Come the predators.

Dominance Games: Live the pornographic

Posted in Commentary, News, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 20, 2011 by B Schiff

Public images and public brands can easily become inverted.  Those noble souls exercising free will and petrified manner easily choose against their own self interests all the time.  Their perceptions are weak.  Their premises are false.  Their logical constructs are frayed and superfluous.  They bring to the table of meager existence a predisposition towards abject dimness and poverty of mind.  They see not the heavens on earth offered them in their anguish as they self identify as noble souls, outlying outlaws, searing revolutionaries,  defenders of the faith, persons of sound judgment and cool reason.

Thought is sold.  It is not bought.  Freedom of thought is sold.  It is not bought.  Economic self interest is passed around and given away.  It is laughed away and made to look foolish.  The cloudy images of the sane and tolerant world are floated up and about, up and away by those knowing this endpoint of human endeavor and these clouds are massively comical and hopelessly ironic.  If only there were those of reason and virtue amongst the daily thugs of public discourse.  If only there were those of reason and virtue amongst those who stood tall and straight and bashed head for sustenance.  If only there were those that did not foam at the mouth and love always and always the red meat of swollen enemies.

The obtuse and the inbred know nothing save the next meal.  The sweet tastes of sweet tastes trump always the soothing health foods of good  doctors.  The wretched can never simply see what is to be seen.  The wretched can never simply experience what is there to be experienced, what is there bigger than a breadbox.

Enemies mine those who will not see.  Enemies mine those who will not hear.  Enemies mine those who live the cheap thrills and hot candy. Enemies mine those who live the pornographic.  We all live the pornographic.  We all love the pornographic.
