Dominance Games: The righteous right all wrongs

Posted in Commentary, current events, media, News, opinion, political analysis, political satire, political science, Politics, satire, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 13, 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.

And the principles upon which we operate, the motives upon which we devour ourselves, the kings and queens upon whom we give crowning glory….they shall be fierce and bold and tirelessly partisan and mundane.

With operations secure, tactics lovable, power attainable, rewards wished for and devoured, status irrevocable, demonic possession certain…… the tireless sinners of tireless sin work mightily to strike their flags and work their wonder.

Pound the agendas of overriding principles…the agendas of derision and virtue.   Work hard  the purity of position.. it is there for the being.  The tactics steam of bludgeoning, of mashing, of pounding, crowning, frolicking, and breaking, burning, humbling, destroying….. war by any other means, war by all means….war is the beauty of the good soldier partisan…the very good mindless soldier partisan.

The high octane warriors of the here and now ….. their calling…. their mission… their honor and right.  They are not the weak sisters and empty vessels of weak kneed shakers.  Take no prisoners, spare no blood…be the warriors warrior…the true nobility of cause  The political cream of our enthralling epoch.

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

Dominance Games: Reap the wild dirge of rapscallion fancy

We beg the grim reaper to not waste our poor little lives.  We watch the angels as they watch over us.  The little devils…they come from there, they come from from here, they saunter about and just come from every  which where.

We have our little lusts.  They have our little lusts.  We have our little  depravities.  They have our little depravities.   We are bold in manner, strong in virtue.  They just want to know the nobility of our character.   We just want our dear little selves spread around for all to see and know.  They will love us to death.  We will give money to strangers,  our lives to the depraved.

We lust for composure in a void.  They wish us no void, tell us no tale, love the ones they are with…us …always us….always lucky little us.   They marvel at the variety and depravity of  life’s blood.  No more sneaking through sins unapplauded, unwanted.  No more lust driven fancies.  No more fun.

The pleasure of deeply held perversion is gone with the wind.  The pleasure of deeply held perversion is a spectator sport for the thought police and the enemies of my soul..Let me entertain my enemies.  Let me give my lustful fantasies to others to enjoy.  They deserve it.  They need their thrills and fancies.  I need their prurient interest.  We all need the great arena of shared experience.  The oh so recognized theater of the primed absurd.

We all can reap the wild dirge of rapscallion fancy….and be better wonders for it.  We all can  reap the wild wind together and know that it is worth the breeze in the trees. it…the pains of the gains, the crud of the stealing of us.  Cheep thrills and good shopping, the main character, the star of the constant story of our dreary little lives.  Tawdry and good and fun and done..the passing panorama.  I liked it better when there were just hidden cameras and bugs in my bedroom.  There was a nice cozy sense of security there.

Dominance Games: The music gets played that finds an audience. Rancid worlds to experience.

Seethe with hate.  Dance with joy.  Bend over with the bends.  It is surely always thus…but thus so much.  Were there ever so damned many loud mouthed hypocritical obnoxious boors of all stripes and injuries polluting the overriding either and making it impossible for a person interested in anything political to not be inundated with stuff he thought thankfully left behind in preadolescence.  Animal house is a standard bearer of dignity when put up against the scenes and voices of politics America….the best the world has to offer.

Were there ever so many self satisfied self indulgent audience flagellating boors bandying about everywhere attacking the senses of anyone with eyes and ears….  Don’t attack bad guys with classical music …make them listen to and watch the politically minded go about their daily shows and spleen wrenching skewing of truth, logic, class, wit, intelligence, honor, decency, fair play, adulthood. Send the children to bed at night without their supper and they will take it as a reward if they can run away and hide.  But we must indulge our hates, our churlishness, our pettiness, our smallness, our lack of character.  So the music gets played that finds an audience.  We get whats smart enough to play us.  We are our own creations and rancid worlds to experience.

Dominance Games: An ode to the unknown communicator

Posted in current events, journalism, literature, News, opinion, political analysis, political science, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 10, 2011 by B Schiff

The romantic twaddle of burnt rats and the longings and feelers and resources of the dupes of the sweet songs of love thrown to us from the pulpits of the sly.

Listen sweetly to the self loving poems and paeans of breeding, baring, privilege and wonder as he/ she puzzles over reason well for  endearing ends.  Never know things that go bump in the night.  Always fear them.  Never look, always see the little monsters outside of our rancid dreams.

Strife, petition, leering gratification.  Gentrification.  Our putrid little mirrors can reflect too much light, light that burns and singes, burns and singes in the dark corners of the constant night of holy ignorance.  Heady rewards come to those who dance with the nimble and pristine.  The precise.  Lure and aphrodisiac.  Heady rewards come to those who dance with the ones who shimmy well and perform well.

Characters and preeners.  Dancers and singers.  All manner of ribald show and tell come to us as we trundle on our merry little ways.  Dismissive arrogance, weapons of masquerading follies attract us as  cheap perfume.   Cheap perfume attracts those for whom the mawkish and the patty functions best.

Pretty pictures and fancy illusory pieces.  The flaccid aerial circuses we gawk at make us proud.  Over sized performers in the trees waiting to fall off or to be picked by the tree pickers, we feel their pain.  These trees bear strange tasty fruits,  strange tangy nectars, the taste exotic, the after taste lingering majestically.   The sirens sweep softly.

Junk yard cats and howling dogs go bay at the night, the moon.  Fairy tales and sun rays define the joys and pleasures gained and sent by the grand operas of fondled passion and inebriated score.  Contraltos serene always allay fears in holidays of dead beyond the pale of contrition.

We love the ones we love.  lust, hell, dominance and greed are trips to be taken.

Politics / Dominance Games: Revolution….The facts of livable survival. The fools errand of the naive

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, political analysis, political science, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 9, 2011 by B Schiff

We can best be protected from extreme evil in the political sphere by spreading around power as much as possible.  The philosopher king or the wise council of elders may be, in their pure forms, the most admirable and efficient forms of governance.  They may bring the best of virtue, vision, majesty, bearing and trust.  These forms may be the abject model of all seekers of wisdom and truth, all seekers of greater, better existence for greater, better political entities, systems, states, facts.  Wisdom and virtue flow undiluted, unfragmented from implementer.  Implementation is a dream..

Virtues  in these epochs of rule are great but as it is with all such things the templates always seem to have equal and opposite flip sides.  The greater good is matched by the greater evil and in real terms governance is best served when as a staunch representative of protection from harm.  The positive is as a bonus…an unexpected bonus of maturity and purpose, reflection and wisdom…that which when it comes… survives…leaves hope.

This is as close to safety we can come to in a world dependent upon the rational and irrational hates and passions of the bubbling classes.  Passion has its virtues…and its price.

In these aspects and respects…we crave our loved version of mass influence…our republic…our democracy.  All done well, good may prosper, right may flourish, balance may be achieved.  All done not so well…most of the mob survives the long knives, the hounds, the wolves, the cuts and the destruction.

Politics is kick ass and dangerous, armed and dangerous, dangerous and dangerous.  Grateful we are for what we see as the limits to the mass dangers we face, in the forms of the base outcomes we can endure.  We bless the phlegmatic, the powerless, the resigned and the the facts of livable survival.  Seeking the better and the good is always the fools errand of the naive known to the knowing and the wise.

Dominance Games: From this epoch tough minded learning ensues. Tomorrow is another politician.

Posted in Commentary, current events, Education, News, opinion, political analysis, political science, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 8, 2011 by B Schiff

Education Nation.  Education follies.  Its for the kids…..not foe the adults.  Its for the agenda… not for the learning.  Its for control of the curriculum…. control the future.   It for the manufacturing of the curriculum… the manufacturing of the past.  Break the unions.  Break the bank.  Hire better teachers.  give them grief.  Hire worse teachers, attract them with positive attitude. Want the best.  Offer the least.  Want the best.  Offer spit.  Skate with the heroes who demand no rules of conduct of the students that teachers must accommodate.

Want good works and fair results….buy the political, sway the political, buy this weeks fashion, buy last weeks fashion, buy next weeks fashion.  Rally the troops.  Make them love their work.  Make them fear the whip.  Fear is good…creativity flows.

Power to the consumer.  Power to the entertained.  Feed the impulses of the immature.  Demand not maturity from the student…only that he be pleased by the performer.  Let the unknowledgeable pass on the knowledgeable.  Let the needy demand bread and circuses in order to learn…the poor babies all.

Education, the bottom up experience with the needs of the student dictating the actions of the teacher.  Teacher is a servant, chief cook and bottle washer….. there to service the untrained mind of the untrained mind…. there to be dictated  to beg to be given the chance to get a poor nod of sweet approval from the ten year old mind.  Knowledge earned in professional training confers the right to be a whupped nanny to a spoiled child.

Mock the rancid of the product deliverers as you may………Mock the rotten teacher as you should…but product needs consumer… this product needs consumers who are there to consume, not vote.   the authority figure dispensing knowledge and wisdom to those who need to acquire it…tail wagging dog and dumb demanding its due…..America today.

Be spoon fed and catered to.  From this epoch tough minded learning ensues.  What are the costs of little attention when the show isn’t good enough?  Tomorrow is another politician.

Dominance Games: Foreign bastards from far away places like Wisconsin, Oklahoma, San Francisco, Arizona, Chicago, Florida , Alabama

Posted in Commentary, current events, journalism, News, opinion, political analysis, political science, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 6, 2011 by B Schiff

We could always go to war with each other.  Texas could use the steel toes and hard heels of cowboy boots to kick the living daylights out of effete north easterners.    New York could buy out the supplies that keep the south alive.  California could infiltrate morality squads and bring down god fearing folk.. Massachusetts could sneer us all into oblivion.

There could be more.  Tennesseans and Kentuckians could kill possums and infiltrate the meat supply.  Kansans could pray too loudly and bring down God’s wrath.   The rust belt workers could starve to death and send their bodies to others to bury….It could get better.

Why trust foreign bastards from far away places like Wisconsin, Oklahoma, San Francisco, Arizona, Chicago, Florida , Alabama? Why not tariff goods from state to state?  Why not sneer at states that don’t run the system to protect their rights to be pure and secure?  Why not just give the whole damned thing up, pack in the tents, find friends in far away places like Uzbekistan, France, Sweden, the DAR?

Poor moribund one worlders, internationalists who see a union of states.  taking sovereignty from the endowed creatures of defines ruggedness, the core of irreducible oneness?  Damned the socialists and the soft thinkers.

Why bother with a national agenda when we can’t stand being in the same room with each other?  Why bother with national purpose when national purpose means only that they  screw you matter what?

Rank central government heels when there is healing it can do.  Rank central government intrudes when there is overriding, overreaching intruding to do.  power mad cynical entities big and small are of perversion and folly.  Too much the pull…fear and hate it.  Too little the help…need and want it.   Too dumb the gamers, run it to hell.  The United States is.  The United States are.   Smart…watch how ever it plays …

…Love the law of unintended consequence.

Dominance Games: Stupid is as stupid does and stupid does damned well thank you. Smart is for the unclean.

Posted in Commentary, current events, journalism, News, opinion, political analysis, political science, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 5, 2011 by B Schiff

Dumb as they come.  Stupid is as stupid does.  It is not good to be a dimwit.

Once upon a once dumb was done.  One and done and not to be braced again…. and again and again.  Well maybe only one again.  Nevermore.  The age of smarts is a long gone epoch, an epoch tinged in sepia, brokered with lilting memories of cultural and historical awareness, drowned in the seas of bitterness held by all who thought that thought was a cherishable thing, a useful thing, an undamning thing.

Characters for reeducation these, a harrowing threat to the valuable gene pool of the simple suckers spouting simple things in order to appeal to simple folk joyous in there simplicity, sure in their lack of logical construct, unawares of false hypothesis or grand self delusion.

Dumb is easy.  It takes only loud and force, easy targets and the echoes of fearful ardors.  Dumb is dumb.  Loud enough and it seeks to cower opposition into acceptance of legitimacy.  Soft enough and it seduces the needy and the hateful who need the experience.  Dull enough and no sense and nonsense become toys for vitriolic syntax and visceral mean.   Stupid is like that.  Often wily.  Many times strong.  Demagoguery in the tumbleweeds.  Stupid is as stupid does and stupid does damned well thank you.

Smart was a once upon a time.  Now seditious and seductive, dangerous, odious, treasonous and unpatriotic, smart.  Smart is for no one unless for the doctor that treats you…only then if under conditions that don’t undermine your belief system.  Smart…..the irrepressible poison in the drinks of the unenlightened unwilling dancers of the dumb dance.  They wave with the flag.  Smart is for demon enemies of the state and seducers of innocent girls. Smart is fever.  It is the tool of hell.  Smart is a puerile mix and a sum brew fed to innocents who are impressionable and wayward.  Smart is for the unclean.

Dominance Games: The mensch of midnights past, our calling. Tough as nails and grateful.

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, political analysis, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 4, 2011 by B Schiff

So.  This is us.  This is today.  Can tomorrow be as close as tomorrow?  Can we be what we say we never were?  Can we be what we say we never stood for….so the rank patriots and fellow screamers tell us.

Can we be the opposite of good, the opposite of decent…again and always.  Can we be the picture perfect us; strong, moribund, phlegmatic, anxious, dead.  Cane we be special and angry?  Can we build the better mousetrap of pride on the backs of the unbetter mice?

Curse needy compassion.  Curse malevolent social engineering.  Curse the race of the swift, the loud, the strong, the sure.  The needy, the daft secure hard, put interests of survival through the eye of a needle.   The majority must be preserved….shaped….captured….held for ransom.

Nimble minds please nimble feet and nimble feet retrieve phantom futures.  Our America means hard knocks and tough brawling; means no crying, no self pity, no banality; a tough country but a hard one.  Freedom means earn it day after day.  Freedom to be of stern stuff and hold charity not for show, not for value.

Starve the beasts of virtue, the beasts of governing.  Hope and charity takes up the slack.  Starve the beast of irredeemable knowledge dead air festers in  ripe so that it can become the noxious poisons of our fears.  Rank illiterates hate the common good.  Who would choose the courage to understand?  Damned well rank evil gnomes.

Fortress fortress us and tough thinking folk.  Picture perfect.  We are what we choose to be, what our dreams are made of…Good but careful….trust but verify….the help of last resort.

The staunch and the brave we are.  The reluctant savior, we are.  Mental anguish over tough choices we have. The mensch of midnights past, our calling.  Tough as nails and grateful.  With hearts of gold we survive.  Using them is not always easy.

Dominance Games: The sultry seductions of the vapors of the damned

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, political analysis, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 3, 2011 by B Schiff

Cry baby, cry.  Tears baby, tears.  Play baby, play.  Be baby, be.

Use baby, use.  Be used, babe, be used.  Worry about the bastards money coming down the pike and up the river making rich richer, making color colorful. making bright brighter for dim bulbs.   Champion aggrieved. Hedonistic moralizing.  Falling swans turn ugly ducklings over night…and the opposite.

Buy us.  Sell us.  Have us for lunch.  Have us for dinner.  Have us for play and pay, for divine indifference.  Learn the simpletons, embrace the sentence structure of those who have good talk.

Feel the heat.  Turn coy the passion.  Turn coy the scintillating seduction, the sighs, the winks, the nods, the sultry seductions of the vapors of the damned.

Cheer us on.  Break cold.  Break us down.  Tell us no tales.  Whip us no lies.  Treat us our little hearts with no tenderness or affection.

Maul us.  Devour us.  Bore us.  Sicken us.  Convince us.  Buy us.  Sell us.  Churn us up and spit us out.  Charm us freely.  Own us whole.  We have the worth.

Push and pull.  Maim and lame.  Deafen with soulful sins.

Champion us.  Chump us.  Chumped us listen.  Chumped us get rain.  Chumped us believe.  The searing truth, bought and sold, dressed up for candle light.

Buy the buy.  Spend the spend.  The scum ain’t buying nothin’foe nothin’, spending nothin’ for nothin’.  We ain’t getting nothin’ for nothin’.

Store bought wraps.   Painted woman.  Rotten candy……. Sure enough.  Tomorrow and tomorrow.  Give early and often.  Buy early and often.  Vote early and often.

Stays bought.   Gets bought.   The badge of honor.  Paid for the badge of honor.  Elections: the usual and the cheap.   The shell games and the phony fronts.  The messages suckers listen to…….Idealists be happy.

Of many
