bullshit

                   I'm a pretty good bullshit spotter because I'm a pretty good bullshitter.  Concurrently, I can tell when someone is trying to bullshit me. So, concurrently, I can usually sense the truth when I'm hearing it. This skill is finely honed and acute. Sometimes, it really sucks.
               Here's what's bad now. I have resurfaced conscious and aware again and I can tell the behemoth US Government is rapidly going to hell and taking the country with it. Ray Charles could have seen it. It looks to me like we're well on our way and the floor is coming up fast. Almost everyone I know is going to lose.
                     I suppose we may already be there. There's more scared people than not scared people here now. "Fear is the nose ring of power" (I made that up just now) I think most of us have been so dumbed down by cable tv shows featuring arguing opposing talking heads or radio yappers that we've ended up on something we think is "our side." Comedians are taken seriously. No shit, serious comedians? Turn on your personal entertainment device and look deeply into it. You won't see the flash.
                  Soon, Americans may know how it felt  to be South American in the last century. The US sent all kinds of economic motherfuckers down there to help foment US style democracy.  We sent some commandos too, just in case. If the head honchos and their constituency in the countries of choice weren't  co-operative with the new advisors we supplied for free , they got killed in plane crashes, swimming pools, maybe dog tracks,or got caught in whorehouses, opium dens, cocaine labs. A lot of them had purchased a defective automobile that blew up. Rebel forces got some,too. Guerrillas usually.
                Some of the big men and women just went along with the Friedmanites so they could get rich and stay alive a while longer. Most of the time, they could tell their military what to do. Those kinds of people are called sociopaths. Their handlers are called complex military industrial saviours or corporations. Corporate structure, when decoded, shows up as psychopathic. We have lots of both of them.
                Naomi Kline calls it Shock Doctrine in her great book of the same name. It's really, really effective but usually messy. I've been expecting it up here for a while now so I'm not shocked. I'm pissed off but not surprised. Motherfuckers like me will only be able to save ours and ourselves. What I'll be saving for remains unclear.
               Listening to the babble on C-Span today, I see Rangle was selling his ass like DeLay did and he's going to be reprimanded or something, not flogged and pilloried like he deserves. The Texas Bug Squasher is still free, too. Charlie won't be in any kind of shape to help us anymore after this but he probably wouldn't have anyway. Maybe the Boehner crew will get everything straightened out. I'll go pound some sand up my ass on You Tube as soon as they do.
