NEWS PORN

note: I'm not sure of the validity of the model ( colder and warmer extremes should balance ), but if it holds true this is a heck of a "food for thought" piece:

This is why I normally stay away from topical news events.  News porn.  All the established mainstream news sources do only two things.  Sensationalize non-news ( “deceased found with buried stash of Nazi fetish reels” ) or soothing denials of news ( “nothing to see here, move along” ).  But the “alternate” news is far from any better.  Every single time any damn thing at all happens, we are all going to die.  Greece institutes posterity measures, a small riot ensues, Greece is about to take down the European Union and we are all going to die!  Free floating currency goes down ( even if it went up last week ), and we are all going to die!  Syria has a false flag attack chemical incident, Trump looks Presidential, warms off all possible belligerents and dumps a few hundred million worth of cruise missiles, and we are all going to die!  Look, say some, the military industrial complex just saw one companies stock rise 1%, it is a conspiracy!  And we’re all going to die!  Look, says another, we are obviously provoking the Russians into a war by bombing a deserted airport, and we are all going to die!  No, claims another, we sent one ship to North Korea and are discussing a few hundred troops going to Syria, so obviously we are all going to die ( you know, like that time we sent two hundred troops to Lithuania and provoked a war with Russia )!

Cheese and humping crackers, people ( “cheese and crackers” is dweeb speak for “Jesus Christ” which is both cute and funny, so I’ll allow it ), has our PC castration become so complete that all of us doomer writers are excitable shrieking girls embroiled in the latest juicy gossip and drama?  Are we all bitches, now? And why are we enjoying it so much?  Greece has been about to bring down the EU for eight years now.  The commercial real estate market has been about to crash for eight years now.  The stock market has been about to lose half its value for eight years now.  And Syria has been the WWIII flashpoint for about as long.  I don’t mind doom porn to a certain degree.  But it has taken over the news completely.  You can’t find anything factual or analytical, just excitable.  Let me boil this down for you in simplistic terms.  Yes, eventually ALL drama will actually unfold as foretold, even if it is a decade late.  Eventually we are all going to die and not from natural causes.  As they say, a stopped clock is right twice a day.

*

But what we most likely have here in Syria is nothing more than another Grenada invasion.  I was in Basic Training when we invaded Grenada ( I also got out just prior to the Panama invasion-I‘m not sure how much more proof you Doubting Thomas bastards need that I am Baby Jesus‘ favorite ).  It was as big of news in the military as it was in the civilian world and its goal of erasing the recent embarrassment of Vietnam and our completely ineffectual performance as a military force in the previous decade due to drug use and the like was accomplished.  I know that many thought that Reagan, the last great President despite his dementia and the string pulling from behind the scenes by Bush Sr. leading to several embarrassing events, was just trying to be a Cowboy Leader and staged the “war” for public consumption as if he was still an actor, and that is true.  But he wasn’t trying to bolster public confidence in his abilities as leader of the free world, but the public confidence that we could defeat the Soviets in the Cold War. 

*

Under his leadership, of course, but again that wasn’t just self-serving.  A nation of Gloomy Gus’s from the Seventies wouldn’t have rallied and approved the military spending needed to end the worst idea of conflict since the first world war.  We had just escaped our own Peak Oil by financializing the Saudi Arabia oil output and probably knew that we could push the Russians over the edge economically when their oil peaked.  They were already ass deep in their Vietnam so it wouldn’t take all that much deficit spending to screw them in an arms race ( or, so goes the story.  You have to allow for unknown factors and events, and I might be giving far too much credit as to our foresight, but it is the known narrative at this point.  I‘ve always had a sneaking suspicion there was far more to it than admitted to but we’ll never know ).  Grenada was as fake of a war as you could get but it also was about all we could handle.  Vietnam had just proved to be our last Industrial war and we couldn’t afford another embarrassing defeat.

*

And since Vietnam we haven’t even dreamed of fighting a real war.  Desert Storm was our Second Generation army defeating Saddam’s First Generation warfare army, in effect a repeat of the end of the First World War, and with every oil consuming nation on the planet paying for it so we didn’t have to.  How hard could it have been?  Everything else before and after has been nothing more than counterinsurgency wars fought embarrassingly poorly.  I’m not disrespecting the fighting men on the ground by calling their air conditioning dwelling leaders completely and totally incompetent, now am I?  We really can’t fight a real war anymore anyway.  Our PC army is now even more castrated males and façade fierce Princesses, most of the last real true warriors beaten down from repeated deployments, wounds, being subjected to inept leadership as more corporate ticket punchers take over upper NCO roles ( the officer class has been completely incompetent for 150 years ) and having left the service in disgust and anger.  The remnants can be less than stellar soldiers, let alone anything approaching warrior class.

Continued tomorrow.

  1. So much noise in the world. I've noticed young kids being "over the top!" About everything. You really have to be an ass to get noticed these days. Hillary keeps brigade of child molesting zombies and plans to use them on Halloween to kidnap all little white boys...and Trump is a demon possessed reincarnation of the Easter bunny. Face it James, you have become too mild mannered. Capitalism has reached a phase of canabilism. Crap! The commies where right.

  2. "Are we all bitches, now?"
    ==========================

    Yes. Mostly. The men's are trying to be gurlz and the gurlz are trying to be men's. And then there's the rest of us. We're out here but we stay in our little enclaves peering out through the portholes at the ensuing maelstrom that approaches from all directions. Satellites occasionally bumping into each other.

    Turned on PBS last night and there was a show gushing all over itself about all the amazingly heroic women that are now in all the militaries. They went into a spotlight on one woman and it was beyond embarrassing how they elevated her all up out of nothing at all. You know your mindset if you watch a childs cartoon, you know it's all fake so you roll with it. Well this was the same way exceot the producers were acting as if it was all really real. Truly a Twilight Zone moment. Yes, moment cause that about all I could take.

    Look, I did my time 1974-78 and women were just being introduced in the line platoons and I saw exactly what was going on. Our small post at Wildflecken Germany had about 10 young women in the army and every single one of them was an outright slut or hor and everyone knew it either first hand or direct reference. And about 90% of the male negro soldiers couldn't stay away from them. The bitches were flaunting like female dogs in heat and the male negro's were completely preoccupied with them. The rest of us managed to get stuff done in spite of it but very few of us reenlisted. We saw the writing. I cringe to imagine what the militaries are like today. Out here in civilian world we only get to see the sugar coated version.

    1. My tour ( not counting Korea w/no bitches ) we still had about equal Mandatory Minority postings in each squad of one Black and one woman. I image they got a bonus to go with the MOS if there were shortages. I'm sure it is far worse today.
