“When you’re stepping over a homeless guy on the sidewalk…does it ever occur to you to think “Wow – maybe our system doesn’t work?!”

– Bill Hicks

Recently visited a large and burgeoning city/cities, so combined “borders” were blurred.  Saw lots of new construction on vacant land, being tied together with new intersections and overpasses. Buildings adorned with “names” and “Brands” never before heard of.

Wondering what they do or what they make.

“We’re Consolidated International and we might be looking for you.

Are you one of those people who show up, punch in, pitch in, put out, clean up, punch out, head home, throw up, turn in, sack out and shut up?

That’s what we need: people we can keep in line. We may have a place for you. Consolidated International.

People making things so people have things to do things to other people with.

And thinking up more things to do with the stuff we have.”

– George Carlin

This contemplation began as I’ve begun to see, what I would call urinal floor diapers.

Materialism Industrialized

Plastic V shaped mats that sit under urinals, apparently for those with poor aim. With what appears to be some kind of an absorbing pad inside.

This is awful on so many counts.

1. Somebody had to think of it.
2. Take it to an engineer to design it.
3. Decide if it is commercially viable.
4. Make machines to make it
5. Order raw plastic and fibres for it.
6. Take pictures of it to sell it.
7. Package it to distribute it.

The consumer end is worse.

1. Take the time to unpackage it
2. Put it in place.
3. Wait for it to get used.
4. Pick it up. (Ewwww)
5. Remove the pad
6. Wash (hopefully) the plastic pad holder.
7. Install a new pad.
8. Mop around the area, that would need to be mopped anyway.
9. Go to your boss and quit because you just wasted 10 minutes of your time dealing with a redundant consumable that was not necessary in the first place.

Other than making the immediate environment in the bathroom like a petri dish for bacteria and germs.

Maybe if people stopped making more people, there’d be less people to think of stuff to do, to to keep the people enslaved employed to waste the earth’s resources in an endless spiral of consumption.

As long as I’m ranting, the other contemplation is razor blades.

Products Supersized

Since when did one or two razor blades not do the trick in shaving? Hmmm?

Gosh, if two work good, three, four and five, will work even better. Get right on that. Charge more each time, with each “improvement”.  Add a Teflon strip,  give it an “ergonomic” handle  (wouldn’t want to get carpal tunnel syndrome, from holding something for 3 minutes, every few days).
Add a battery, make it vibrate, for that “perfect” shave.

Add so much so, that the product is really expensive and it has to be locked up and a special clerk with a key has to get it for you.

Pushing the envelope with the consumer so far, as to how much they’ll pay. Up it so much, other companies can start “free” home shipping of razor blades “included” with razor blade of the month clubs.

Wasting even more of the earth’s resources, burning more petroleum products, keeping more people enslaved.

“The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”

George Orwell, 1984

How much longer till we hear that we have always been allies with Russia?

(Which is fine, I have no enemies except for my worst one, “me”.)

Seeing how we are allied to our earthly Gaia consciousness from which we all were spawned.

As bipedal oxygen breathing, monoxide exhaling, red-blooded, skeleton supported, solar powered, carbon-based, large brained, earth inhabitant omnivore, creative artists.

“No tree has branches so foolish 
as to fight amongst themselves.”

~ Native American Proverb

What is next, chocolate rationing about to begin? Coffee production up, but there is a distribution problem. Hang on to your razor blades, they are in short supply.

The next two minutes hate will be to vent frustration that the last two minutes hate, went two seconds too long.

How will you know if you become an unperson?

“We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone. But how far away that future may be, there is no knowing. It might be a thousand years.

At present nothing is possible except to extend the area of sanity little by little. We cannot act collectively.

We can only spread our knowledge outwards from individual to individual, generation after generation.”

George Orwell, 1984

That was a good little ruse on Tillersons part, to “suggest” that, yes they are aware Russia meddles with the US elections and nothing can be done, so we are not going to bother.

Making the public aware that the only vote that counts is the corporations, deciding which henchperson to put in place to lower their taxes and buy the war wares for the never ending conflicts.

Declassified or rather Destupified

If something is truly classified nobody should see it. Yet, in an inherently overall decrepit system, the followed still mislead the followers into accepting the incredibly weak and vague notion, there is some “information” out there, “they” are not equipped to handle. Worse still, is the frightening notion that that is acceptable.

“The Memo” created in a Republican hyperbolic chamber fell flat in such a self-serving and misleading way, thrice as much as Geraldo Rivera’s opening of Al Capone’s empty vault.

Perhaps it is just a dark perception undefined, that can not manifest anything “darker” in reality then what resides in my mind as something I can not handle.

From words in any sequence, volume, pitch that would either cause harm to my psyche or make me do something I did not want to, with that information.

So how does that bitter pill get swallowed, like a worthless placebo, convincing the consumer that, essentially a self appointed “authority” deems themselves best fit to disseminate “what” is “acceptable” to the masses??

“Government wants to tell you things you can’t say because they’re against the law, or you can’t say this because it’s against a regulation, or here’s something you can’t say because its a…secret;

“You can’t tell him that because he’s not cleared to know that.”

Government wants to control information and control language because that’s the way you control thought, and basically that’s the game they’re in.”

– George Carlin

Hmmm, National Security,  that’s it.

The guise of national security is wearing thin, like a thread bare carpet worn down to the floorboards at the hallway entrance at the office of the propaganda purveyors.

“I have this feeling man, ’cause you know, it’s just a handful of people who run everything, you know … that’s true, it’s provable. It’s not … I’m not a #ucking conspiracy nut, it’s provable.

A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which include the mainstream media.”

– Bill Hicks

The Devin Nunes “memo” is peanuts compared to the real classified information.

Here is the actual classified memo they do not want you to be aware of.

Thank you Devin for causing a three to four week distraction. Helping keep the proletariat fighting amongst themselves.

Easily arguing over nothing while we keep the illusionary economy afloat via mindless consumption as eyes are glued and wallets are emptied.

If the congress persons and senators had real jobs, with actual supervisors, managers and department heads, they would have been fired on the first day for standing around the water cooler all day.

Getting absolutely nothing substantial done other than gossiping, backstabbing and pretending to look busy.

Primping and preening to their purported electors, while really doing the job their financial backers want them to do. Such as lowering the corporate tax rate, while their constituents children will be saddled with the bill.
