stooges, straw-men and lackeys


STOOGES, STRAW-MEN AND LACKEYS

Most folks think that their vote counts, that we live in a democracy, that we have rights under the Constitution, that the President decides policy and that the media has a communist bent and must be fought by marketplace forces.  They also believe the dollar will rule forever, that fracking oil will last forever and that despite stockpiling three semi-auto weapons and twenty cases of MRE’s they really think the collapse will be slow enough-forever-that they don’t really have to worry about leaving the city or if they’ll have a job to pay a mortgage.  So, when I see that Federal Government Whore PBS air a special from the PBS Whore Ken Burns on the Bankers Whores The Roosevelt’s, I feel that since nobody is listening to my warning of collapse anyway, I might as well just go off on an anarchist rant denouncing the entire centuries worth of Presidents as stooges, straw-men and lackey’s.  Even prior to the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank, the independent banks and the robber barons and the newly empowered federal government with its shadow power players all had a hand in shaping to some degree the men who held the office.  Teddy might have been a dashing hero who lifted himself up by his own bootstraps and by sheer force of will, being a sickly little runt, turning himself into the ultimate modern Alpha Male, admired by all men and swooned about by all women, but he was still a blatant imperialist who ignored the basic dignity and rights of the rest of the world’s poor and powerless and mowed down all who stood in the way of the US taking over the world.  But he couldn’t have risen to power without help.  Help he had to have been beholden to.

Wilson was the original bankers lackey, legitimizing the shadow organization and giving them an entire continent to control just for a couple of years of playing king.  When it was time for Wilson to send hundreds of thousands to be slaughtered in the trenches to protect the bank’s profits, he merely asked how high they would like him to jump.  Any crap about how later in life he was sorry he created the Federal Reserve is just self-serving propaganda.  FDR was another sickly puke, but one who had absolutely none of the charisma of Teddy and all of the power hungry sleaziness.  He was so obviously a blue blood east coast stooge for the bankers and industrialists, so blatant and craven, it would take six more decades before someone came along to the office who was more embarrassing.

There followed a whole army of spineless bureaucratic yes-men, CEO’s bowing to the dictates of the board of directors.  Even JFK.  We point out he signed into law the currency printing dictate and assume the bankers killed him off because they wanted absolute control of the money ( the theory that the military industrial complex killed him off because he refused to escalate Vietnam is so hollow and stupid I spit blood on the whole fiasco.  The Cold War didn’t need a hot war to keep spending up.  The US had been on a continual wartime defense spending spree to prop up the economy since 1939 or 1940.  Shallow peaks and troughs did nothing to upset the long term trend ).  But now I even question that.  Is it inconvincible to wonder, perhaps he was killed for something else entirely and the “leaked” “real reason” was in itself a cover-up?  The worst thing that can happen in unravelling a conspiracy is to believe only you alone are smart enough to see the pieces fall into place.  Always assume hidden and unattainable information.

And really, we are supposed to believe Nixon closing the gold window was just an accidental bad judgment call?  That had fall guy written all over it.  This stuff isn’t difficult.  “Sneakers” with Dan Ackroyd, a forgettable movie otherwise, popularized the phrase “follow the money”.  Who benefits?  The end of the gold standard was planned, approved, and profited from by those in control of the economy.  Yet Nixon gets the blame for inflation and economic near-collapse.  Reagan, otherwise a wonderful leader in his Dirty Harry persona, is blamed for removing any restraint insofar as budget deficits are concerned.  Really?  He did that all on his own?  If he genuinely believed he was just defeating communism on a credit card, that was because he was lead to believe that by advisors under the bidding of their masters.  You need not know all the details to know everything they tell you is a lie.  Everything.  All goals, proclamations, statistics and data.  Everything.  Just beware.

  1. no not EVERYTHING they tell you is a lie. the problem is they only tell you the truth when it serves to reinforce a lie. a mixture of truth and lie is the best lie.

    1. hmm.... I don't think that if they tell you something true (JFK got shot in the head in dallas texas) that if they follow it with a lie (by a lone communist sympathizing nut case) that it makes the true part a lie. Just judge everything from them as untrustworthy and meant to get you to give the reaction they want- even (or especially) the obvious lies. Instead look at the reactions they are trying to get and try to figure out why they want them - and know that they know people will be contrary and that they figure that reaction into their plans too.

    2. Contrary. And in denial. And wishful thinking. Sigh.

  2. OK Jim, tell us WHY the gold window was closed.

    Yeah, Sneakers was good. Watch "Hard Rain" with Morgan Freeman, if you can find it.

    1. Of course, they had to close the window. Currencies have been a race to the bottom for a long time. And I'd wager even back then Ft. Knox pretty much had zero actual gold left.

  4. Whose 'THEY'.
    There is still good alternative news sites where you can get unbiased reporting.
    Just have to be careful.
