In capitalism, you can sell the pyrotecHnics all over the place, but no way, Jose, you can’t shoot them off in the city or county, but . . .

Yep, that old Un-United Snakes of Amerikkka, that old time K12 empty headed religion, that old empty point of view from white males, yep, the generations of folk who don’t give a shit about the consequences:

“2 Men Laughed After Throwing Fireworks That Sparked Oregon Fire: Report” / July 8, 2021

Tristan Forrest (right) and Tyler Weeks (left) were arrested for allegedly throwing fireworks that caused a fire on Highway 34 in Oregon on July 4, 2021.

Two men are accused of tossing a firework from a car that ignited a brush fire on Highway 34 in Oregon, according to KATU.

A witness claimed the pair allegedly laughed after the act and drove off, according to the Benton County Sheriff’s Office. The report added that the witness saw “a blue sedan occupied by two males. The witness saw a firework thrown from the vehicle causing a fire.”

The incident reportedly happened the afternoon of July 4, and the Alsea Fire Department and the Oregon Department of Forestry responded to the blaze. The fire consumed 0.64 acres on both sides of the road, reporters learned.

That was two years ago, but today, after heading to Yachats to see local art and have beer and watch the waves peak out at 20 MPH, I encountered the road — Highway 101 — was closed, cuz, again, two males, were shooting fireworks in broad daylight, caught some beacher grass on fire, couldn’t put it out, and then vamoosed.

That is the nutshell. Poor white deplorable (Hillary) trash, or those super-predators (Trump, Biden, Clinton, et al) creating chaos in the county.

But in the scheme of things, well, we know who the motherfuckers are:

The Biden administration has agreed to provide Ukraine with depleted uranium shells to equip M1A1 Abrams tanks that the U.S. is sending there. Britain has already delivered tanks to Ukraine equipped with depleted-uranium shells. (source)

Then, read this fucking article, on Medium. Talk about predators and deplorables. It is a whitewash, man. DU munitions, developed in the 1970s, are not nuclear weapons and do not produce a nuclear explosion. But soldiers or civilians can be exposed to the uranium, either in combat or afterward. Health physicist Kathryn Higley explains what depleted uranium is and what’s known about potential health and environmental risks.

So think about: white guys tossing fireworks out the window, or today, messing with them in tall dry grass on the beach, now, really, are they the deplorables?

The mother-fuckers are there, in thes sick propaganda articles, and the Anglo-American Empire, there you go, real DNA brush fire starters:

Today the MoD cites research from the Royal Society, the UK’s leading national scientific academy, as proof that the health and environmental impact of depleted uranium in Ukraine “is likely to be low.” Yet as Declassified UK has pointed out, not only has the Royal Society not published anything on the topic since 2002, charging that it’s not “an active area of policy research,” but it actually rebuked the Pentagon when it tried to pull this same trick during the Iraq War in 2003. At the time, the Royal Society, described by the Guardian as “incensed,” told the paper that troops and civilians were at short- and long-term danger from the substance, especially children.

That cutoff date for the Royal Society’s research is significant, since the US coalition forces’ liberal use of depleted uranium in Iraq, in an estimated more than three hundred thousand rounds, was followed by an explosion in cancers and birth defects in the country, particularly in Fallujah. One study of more than seven hundred households in the city likened it to the aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing — worse, even, since Fallujah saw a markedly bigger increase in leukemia than was documented after the atomic bombing. One of its authors called it “the highest rate of genetic damage in any population ever studied.”

These two human stains, these alimentary canal freaks, they must DIE: Rishi Sunak gave President Zelensky 14 tanks, which have now arrived in Ukraine. (Photo: Simon Walker / Downing Street)

Brush fires on the beach, or forever DNA mutations, who are the motherfuckers?

• Sole body cited by UK military to defend Ukraine receiving depleted uranium weapons has not published new research on the subject for over 20 years
• Italy’s defence ministry has compensated soldiers who developed cancer after exposure to depleted uranium on service in the Balkans
• After the invasion of Iraq, the UK military accepted it had a ‘moral obligation’ to help clear depleted uranium debris from the rounds it had fired (source)

Ahh, the dplorables:

“We collected hair samples, deciduous (baby) teeth, and bone marrow from subjects living in proximity to the base,” said Mozhgan Savabieasfahani, one of the study’s lead researchers. “In all three tissues we see the same trend: higher levels of thorium.” Savabieasfahani, who has authored studies on the radioactive footprint of the U.S. military presence in Iraq for years, says that the new findings contribute to a growing body of evidence about the serious long-term health impact of U.S. military operations on Iraqi civilians. “The closer that you live to a U.S. military base in Iraq,” she said, “the higher the thorium in your body and the more likely you are to suffer serious congenital deformities and birth defects.” (source)

[Photo: A selection of images from a study by a team of independent medical researchers show deformities suffered by young children living near an active U.S. military base in Iraq. Images: Study titled “Living near an active U.S. military base in Iraq is associated with significantly higher hair thorium and increased likelihood of congenital anomalies in infants and children,” 2019.]

Ahh, those brush fires, compared to the biggest threat to world peace, Zelensky and his Jerusalem 2.0 project. He is the green screen motherfucker who needs, again, to be turned into glass: from the CIA News Network,

CNN — 

At least 21,000 Wagner mercenaries have been killed fighting in Ukraine, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Ukrainian leader said the private military company had suffered “enormous losses,” particularly in eastern Ukraine where its “most powerful group” was fighting.

But we got brush fires near Waldport, and so, call the Marines.

As yet another example of deplorables, those marketers, those Edward Bernays Mad Men and Mad Women, this is happening daily with ZioAzovNazi Lensky and his lie machine.

The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, and our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of…. It is they who pull the wires that control the public mind.

[Photo: Edward Bernays applied the principles of propaganda to marketing.]

ZioAzovLensky must be advising this country:

Philippine tourism officials were left red-faced after the creators of a video promoting the archipelago nation as a holiday destination said on Sunday they had used stock shots from other countries.

Advertising agency DDB Philippines apologised for the “highly inappropriate” images, which included rice terraces in Indonesia and sand dunes in Brazil.

The agency was behind the video for the government’s US$900,000 (S$1.2 million) “Love the Philippines” tourism campaign launched on June 27.

So, if you are not totally confused, then, here here, ahh, from my buddy, Farmer Joe from Merced:

Paul

When you call for “Off With Their Heads,” It must include the top thirty percent of the upper class and the Ivy League institutions that come up with this kind of evil  thinking to keep everyone at each others throats by diverting attention away from the fact that these very same elites are the ones creating the problems. 

I don’t know if that fucking slimeball Jamie O’Neil at The Smirking Chimp is in the upper thirty percent of the middle class, if not an exception should be made for his head to roll with the rest of these assholes. This Corrupt Roberts Court: Who’s to Blame? | The Smirking Chimp

I’m struggling to keep up with your substacks, (man you crank out an incredible amount of content), but I agree with your take on things. 

The western mind is a vast desolate, empty void filled with meaningless trivia and propaganda that is incapable of seeing what foot kicked them in the head. Most of the so called (Educated) people I know are the most indoctrinated and incapable of critical thought. It’s like their educations removed their ability to think and reason. 

Joe 

He’s so on target, man, and so I lofted a grenade his way, in my retort:

Ahh, Joe, I ALWAYS defy “We are the 99 Percent” shit. I did at Occupy Seattle, and I do now. Statistically, we are the 80 Percent, that is, we have 8 percent of “wealth,” man, so the dream hoarders, the two-income LGBTQA+ loving professional managerial class whores, all of them in the 20 percent are the enemy. And, well, there are just so many natural born racists and hates, and the DNA of the average person in the USA is damaged, way long ago, and not just GMOS, but from the Faterland — the Anglo-Franco-Saxon illegals who jumped ship and fucked up Turtle Island.

I have a fucking lot of knowledge and street in me, brother, but the Empire and the Red and Blue Alimentary Canals have religated me to not just the fringes, but the fringe of the fringes.

So, tap tap tap on this fucking CIA tracking laptop is my only option, since I am jobless forever, and alas, Dissident Voice is passing on most of my stuff (they do not like my tone, my attack mode, my ad hominem, my loose and free and fucking profanity-strewn shit) so I have a freaking Substack with a few readers.

Town square, dude on the milk carton, dude barking about, yes, we do need fucking tinfoil hats with 5 and 6 and soon-to-be 10 G coming to a playground near you.

EDUCATED?  Shit, I have been in those halls, and fought daily with dweebs, man, and the most judgmental and shallow and Little Eichmann-like brownnoses in brown shirts covered in rainbows. O’Neil? Fuck, Joe, I am a commie, so, guys like him need the Che treatment, man, and if he is 10, 20 percent, or 30%, hell, bye bye Louisville slugger time. In absolute terms affluence is a relatively widespread phenomenon in the United States, with over 30% of households having an income exceeding $100,000 per year and over 30% of households having a net worth exceeding $250,000, as of 2019.

You know, propaganda and brainwashing and perception management and algorithm curating and mass formation/psychosis, and the entire shit-show which is Black Friday every Friday thinking, we are populated by monsters, even below that Top 30 Percent line. Fucking monsters, and while Cartels recruit poor punk 10 year olds off the streets, man, this country recruits them in kingergarten, from cradle to grave. Absolute sickness that anyone would approve even NOW, more war junk to Ukraine, and approve of saber rattling ith China, but, alas, 81% of Blue feces supports (arming and killing) Ukrainians while 51 % of Red feces support that hell-hole.

Thanks for reading my shit, though. It comes out of me like good commie vomitis, my daily purging of the insults to my mind every fucking nanosecond. 

YEP!

“In the New Gilded Age, the elite has no butter to give the masses. It has only austerity, repression, surveillance, and going along with that, a morality police staffed by its professional managerial elite.” 

Here, from the post Joe cites:

The crusaders of woke Empire are off to subjugate two frontiers- the ‘problematic’ working masses who are outside the Eastern establishment/Silicon Valley bubbles within the United States, and the even more problematic unwoke billions in Eurasia and Latin America who insist on holding values not compatible with 21st century cosmopolitan liberalism.
 
It is notable that in nearly every country where the American Empire is trying to destroy a socialist, nationalist or anti-imperialist project- whether in Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Belarus, Russia, China, or Iran- the allies of neoliberal imperialism come from the cosmopolitan urban centers where Westernized upper middle classes reside, while the backbone of anti-imperialist resistance comes from the soil of the countryside- the global deplorables.
 
In old fashioned colonialism, doctrines of the biological superiority of the white race served an important ideological role. Yet capitalism and imperialism has mutated ideologically, like a virus. It is high time to recognize that ‘anti racism’ and advocacy of racial/gender equality can be just as much of an effective reigning ideology for the Empire as its opposite. It is time to acknowledge that language so long cherished by the left is now a cudgel against working people at home and abroad. Evil has often come disguised as good. (source)

Wildfires and firecrackers my ass!

— Wildfires, man, that racist Alimentary Canal, Biden and the Democrats, as wide and stinky as the alminentary canal of the Republicans:

And here, Toothless in Wisconsin Kelly K: Responding to my last or next to last Substack. Note: I am not cleaning up his colorful and real response.

So you talk to the sky and the seals? Toothless talks to walls, and mice, and an old wiener dog. Seems like a distinction without a difference.

I used to talk to the sky, but she died anyway. I kept talking to the sky, but nothing came of it.

I see things the way “Chuck” said. In the twenty+ years that I’ve been in River Falls, it has transformed from a small town in Wisconsin into a suburb of Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Lincoln County, Wisconsin has sold off a ton of land to private dvelopers/investors/ landowners, so where I, and my elder family members used to walk around with rifles, is all posted No Trespassing!!!! I wonder how “Chuck” would have responded if he was out with me the other night?

It’s far from the first time, but I got to listen to townsfolk piss and moan about all of the rabbits, and squirrels, and birds, and bees and wasps (the flying kind). And, all of the goose shit around. And, the woman who’s so much happier where she’s living now. No mess from trees to clean up.

You know, I have advocated reading Bowden, with more enthusiasm than any other author I have read. That’s saying a mouthful. I did rave about Vidal for quite some time, but not like I did Chuck. I could not find one taker, in all of the circles that I traveled in. Maybe if I had said that he sucked, I would have had better results????

Bowden, Vidal, Bukowski? I only got a taste of Bukowski, until he ran off with Sanford (the dehoarders we hired to help Toothless get a handle on his hoarding mess). Or vice versa.

Maybe as a reformed drunk, I have a penchant for reading authors who like the sauce. Do you have any alcohol issues, buddy????

So things were jumpin’ last Friday night. My arrival at the restaurant, attached to the Raddison, brought the headcount up to three. The staff outnumbered us by at least three to one. The Friday night, all you can eat, fish fry was really very good. So was the Long Island iced tea. At least I think it was. (my first time)

More on that later.

I was directed outside to the bench of shame next to the garbage cans, where I discovered a group of white clad people who looked like they worked at the Mexican restaurant next door, except for one guy who was white underneath his pearl colored costume.

Two of these things are not like the others, although I said one, because I was not dressed for the occasion. I decided to risk it, even though the smoke from Canada made our addiction redundant.

Turns out that they were the band, playing on the patio, not a wedding party. The only friendly, mannered people I met all evening. I retrieved my crap from the restaurant, and fanned my ass for the patio.

Lousy crowd. When I first got comfortable, there was only one asshole clapping. I may have shamed a few more into putting their hands together. The band wasn’t great, but nobody else was entertaining at all.

Just before I departed, I bumped into one of pastor Frank’s sober flock. When she learned that I have known pastor Frank for, shit, twenty years, she bought me a tea, and staggered out the door. She loves pastor Frank, but agrees that the AA is a cult.

So, it’s off to Emma’s (dive bar, whatever that means?), and I encounter the only fellow admirer of the gewish way that I have met here, before I even breach the door. I ordered a tea, and after I tasted it, I suggested that the barkeep should talk to our mutual acquaintance, Mike, about his tea recipe.

Holy fuck!!!! Bad idea!!!! This son of a bitch went ballistic, and the son of a bitch would not back off his pissed off attitude. So I set out, mindful of Canada, and explored the state of (Jew) gew-earth with my comrade.

Some moved a little further away, and couple stepped forward. We were told that they could hear us down the street. Good. Sounds better than a pack of Harleys, or rice grinders.

You catch he’ll for loud voices, or loud music, but unmufflered internal combustion noise is great?? He’s anticipating a nuclear “exchange” in the coming month(s), so he drinks a lot.

But, people were more interested in the exploits of Joe Montana, when he was in River Falls with the Chiefs. Some were interested in prison stories. Talking old, rare, now valuable, guitars that have come and gone, was another favorite.

But, we managed to keep asking questions about the Rothschilds. I got one more tea, from Emma this time (she’s both friendly and attractive), and a PBR with cozi for a good hearted simpleton.

I did run into Javi and Ariel, from the former AM support group. I haven’t had a reply from them all year, so I was quite aloof. I think they thought that I was mark (a). I started her off with a G&L Jazz Bass, and Acoustic amp. His piano is still in the finger killer trailer.

No more lessons from here.

I like to people watch, but the gift of gab gets in my way. Besides, way too many folks have their faces literally glued to their screens. So I piloted my EVELO tricycle back to the wiener dog, to give him some fish, and get some lickin’.

So, this morning I decided to take in some Chuck Todd/Turd/whatever, and learn about solutions to the fentanyl crisis. Fuckers are still pushing cops and soldiers as a solution to this addiction crisis. Clean needles will only make it worse, they tell me.

Then there was a cop in a press conference talking about a hostage situation, but he just had to give us his views of the scheduling of drugs. And, then the fuckers are telling me about the inside knowledge of President Biden regarding addiction. I’m pretty sure that they were talking about poor Hunter. Guess Joe’s got inside information about being a complete piece of shit, too.

What’s that they say about apples and trees?

I take this shit kinda personally. My grandkid, Ivy, overdosed on heroin recently. I don’t know if she’s alive, or dead, or in the gutter. She’s an impoverished, teenage child, not a forty something narcissist millionaire. I’m talkin’ about the whole lot of em’ not just Hunter.

I’ve fucked with alcohol addiction since I was fifteen years old. Being behind bars didn’t fix shit. Devoted researchers, and clinicians did. In book and audio form, of all things. All the steps, and all the jail, was one huge fail.

I’ve had the opportunity now to read you, and listen to you riff, and interview, listen to you talk, and watch you interact with others. You are a trip. A great buzz, not the kind that causes one to stare into the sun, or try flying from the rooftop.

I remember lefty talk radio from back in my days in Madison. Music I can find anytime. That talking was manna. You’re a great writer in a nation of watchers, and listeners. Maybe if you would have found the right location, you’d be an on air celebrity now. I know that you’ve got the chops.

When you think about it, would you do it all over, with your focus on the microphone instead? I’d be happiest with whichever option brought you to my attention the soonest.

Give my warmest regards, and well wishes, to your friend from Canada. It’s easy to have “friends” when you’re docile, and play the part of a doormat, whether it be recreational, or employment based.

I know that Marybelle made Cliff yearn for solitude, but solitude creates its own yearnings. I think that the trick is to be someone that you like personally. It won’t guarantee meaningful relationships, but I think it ups your odds considerably.

I think that it’s worked for me a couple of times.

Well, time to make the dog’s dinner. Rotisserie ribs on the grill. Then we’re gonna have some lemonade, and a roundtable discussion with the mice, about events in Ukraine. We’re all straight, so we didn’t see any point in discussing the implications of the supreme court’s ruling for the LGBTQ++ABC community.

They got Friday night fish fry out there where you’re at? If not, I hope you can make it back here for some. My treat.

This is the trick now — listen to your elders, like Toothless, and learn from him about the entire shit show of Arkansas of the North, beginning May 2: “Something More than the Cheese: first of three parts . . . what’s love got nothing to do with it in Wisconsin”

Fucking firestarters, true deplorables:

Bats to the head, man-oh!

Then, the primer on Capitalism, for your Fireworks Fourth Enjoyment. The foundation to all our problems, Chlamydia Capitalism:

Prof. Prabhat Patnaik on what is new about the current state of capitalism

And capitalism needs dead Ukrainians and Russians:

Lack of space to bury fallen soldiers has apparently been an issue for Ukraine for some time already. Multiple videos circulating online show rows of fresh graves emerging at the burial sites all across the country.

In some locations, authorities have to exhume old graves to make room for the newly deceased, the New York Times reported last month. For instance, a groundskeeper at one of the cemeteries told the newspaper that the management of the site had decided to exhume unmarked graves from World War I, as it ran out of space.

Yep, deplorables:

Yep, the news is big-time, but those bottle rockets and grass fires — call the National Guard. No American from either Alimentary Canal Party reads.

So much for the average fire cracker Yankee Doodle Confederate Dandy to read.

Celebrate, Celebrate, with rockets and bombs bursting in air!

Why You Should Read “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” to Your Kids

BY Kerry McDonald

In what is considered one of the greatest abolitionist speeches, Frederick Douglass presented “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” to the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society in New York on July 5, 1852.

As families and friends gather together throughout the US this week to celebrate liberty, we rightfully give a nod to Thomas Jefferson who authored the Declaration of Independence. Adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, it proclaimed our independence from British rule, acknowledged that the thirteen colonies were sovereign, and provided an important catalyst toward creating the United States of America as the Revolutionary War raged on.

Freedom and Human Rights

Jefferson’s words offered a promise of freedom and individual human rights that was exceptional for the era and that continues to be a cherished ideal. We are right to share these words with our children and to celebrate them ourselves each year:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

The Declaration of Independence created a vision for a free and flourishing society that continues to inspire. It was a document that reflected how things could be and not how they were, for slavery was widespread throughout the American colonies at the time of its writing and would remain so for nearly a century more. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were rights reserved for some early Americans but not all.

Slavery’s History in America

This darker side of America’s Founding is something we must also share with our children. Fortunately, the powerful words of Frederick Douglass, the famous orator, abolitionist, and author who escaped from slavery in 1838, provides an opportunity. In what is considered one of the greatest abolitionist speeches, Douglass presented “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on July 5, 1852, to the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society in New York, while American slavery was still ubiquitous. He asked:

What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy — a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour.

Despite this deserved excoriation, Douglass reminded listeners that American exceptionalism could be what ultimately led to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all. He held up the US Constitution as a “GLORIOUS LIBERTY DOCUMENT,” and indicated that slavery, in addition to being immoral, was also unconstitutional:

Read its preamble, consider its purposes. Is slavery among them? Is it at the gateway? or is it in the temple? It is neither. While I do not intend to argue this question on the present occasion, let me ask, if it be not somewhat singular that, if the Constitution were intended to be, by its framers and adopters, a slave-holding instrument, why neither slavery, slaveholding, nor slave can anywhere be found in it.

Freedom For All

Douglass concluded his speech on an optimistic note, suggesting that technological progress and innovation, science and reason, free trade and association, and open global markets create new pathways for freedom to spread:

I, therefore, leave off where I began, with hope. While drawing encouragement from the Declaration of Independence, the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions, my spirit is also cheered by the obvious tendencies of the age. Nations do not now stand in the same relation to each other that they did ages ago. No nation can now shut itself up from the surrounding world, and trot round in the same old path of its fathers without interference. The time was when such could be done.

Long established customs of hurtful character could formerly fence themselves in, and do their evil work with social impunity. Knowledge was then confined and enjoyed by the privileged few, and the multitude walked on in mental darkness. But a change has now come over the affairs of mankind. Walled cities and empires have become unfashionable. The arm of commerce has borne away the gates of the strong city. Intelligence is penetrating the darkest corners of the globe.

It makes its pathway over and under the sea, as well as on the earth. Wind, steam, and lightning are its chartered agents. Oceans no longer divide, but link nations together. From Boston to London is now a holiday excursion. Space is comparatively annihilated. Thoughts expressed on one side of the Atlantic, are distinctly heard on the other. The far off and almost fabulous Pacific rolls in grandeur at our feet. The Celestial Empire, the mystery of ages, is being solved.

As we celebrate the Fourth of July holiday and share the Declaration of Independence with our children, let’s remember to also share Douglass’s speech as a reminder that championing freedom for all may have imperfectly begun in 1776 but must always be ongoing. We can communicate reality blended with hope and inspire our children to embrace liberty as a life philosophy.

As Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1816: “I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.” Our children are the ones who will create those better dreams.
