There’s a post over at Firedoglake I stumbled across in the community diaries, where the non front pagers post, and their work is gathered together under the title The Seminal. I dunno, that name is just … ah, I probably just have a dirty mind.
Why are you looking at me like that? Go away! Go away, I say!
Anyway, not to sound insufferably smug, but no blog in the vasty reaches of the intertron has a better Suspicious Theories Knight (of the fifth veil) than Docudharma’s own Lasthorseman.
No! I’m not going to link to him because he has booby trapped all access to his data! I am not a fool! Go away!
Ahem.
Anyway.
The author of the diary, BillWalker, notes that over at Daily Kos the Obamacrats are not the political flavor of the week.
This heady news sends him into raptures of demonic glee! And after he turns up the siren for a citizen uprising, he is finally able to reveal the truth:
Why would Obama want to stick a thumb in the eye of his base at this stage in the game? To me, it almost seems like a Psy-Op designed to increase the likelihood of social upheaval.
Does anybody have a better explanation? Is it even possible for the administration to be this politically tone deaf?
Please join me below if you are into intrigue, yes, political intrigue. And speculation, dark political speculation.
Well now I’m scared. I have no head for political intrigue. I am a credulous person. Why did I go beneath the flip! Aaaaaaaaaaah!
But I shall rise to the occasion in my own feeble way in solidarity towards our own liberal Dick Tracys and Lois Lanes, and I think BillWalker fits into that category as well.
So here’s my take.
Folks are so worn out and tired and beat that watching the minuscule crumb that we ended up with in health insurance legislation dissolve entirely and transform into negative ions and weird creaky noises and basic absence of any value …
And the conventional wisdom tells us that is sausage making and this is the way it is and all that blah blah blah (as Bruh1 would say … you don’t know him? Look him up! What do you think I am, google? And get off my lawn!)
So that our entire culture, our entire so-called society is strained to the breaking point ….

… struggling to maintain denial as a patriotic duty!
It simply can’t be more creepy than that.
So anyway. I don’t think Obama or anyone else, including the evil overlords of the MIC know what they are going to do.
It’s like a fucking Batman movie. Villains of such bleh-i-tude that they appear a grotesque stew of caricatures! Melodramatic mustached Snidley Whiplash meets the Jetsons.
We see who has power and we see how they are using it as they are figuring it out themselves.
I don’t think Obama is a Manchurian candidate who will help to oppress humankind so we can be turned into serfs, I simply can’t see it.
Yet at the same time I wouldn’t be surprised by it for a second.
Nor do I doubt there are folks who would find that a wonderful and happy event.
Nor would I doubt it if it turned out that Rahm Emmanuel is in actuality a pod person from a distant galaxy.
Suspicions. This is a consequence of not having transparency, we may be blinded by obstacles the powers that be throw in our way but we know how to move ahead just the same.
Ok, that’s as supicious as I can get, sorry.
I just got a kick out of that BillWalker post, I dunno.

… could be too absurd in this absurd situation we find ourselves in.
I suppose if you wanted it Front Paged you would have.
I post at The Seminal on occasion and our friend STDS is one of the Contributing Editors and it gives me no end of schadenfreud glee to point out to him-
I told you so.
something… hmmmmm…. brown acid? And Rahm Emanuel? I’d be pretty freaked out if I was Obama, too. 😉
after all, I’m an edhead.
on the other hand, incompetence is the maximum likelihood estimate in most cases… and this seems to me to be one of ’em.
Coffee mugs and apparel with “Proud Democrat” logos are available now at the DCCC Store. Order now, “Proud Democrat” coffee mugs, shirts, caps and lingerie are going fast!
Thank you.
the usa has permanently entered the realm of twilight zone politics as in we jumped the shark so long ago we have forgotten how to jump or swim or what is water and water is air.
twilight zone politics
yes, indeedy.
obama is the pod person.
or maybe we are all pod people and we just don’t know it.
I’m not worried, he’ll be here soon to straighten this whole mess out. He’s got a lot of pull in high places, and he’s been continuously sharpening his skills since his death. He’s comfortable in the Twilight Zone, and will fit right in in Washington. And then?
An illuminating enterprise in times like these. Boiled down to ten words, the basic burden of the book is: Everything looks like a conspiracy, but nothing is. It’s just the universe blundering, as usual. People just make up ingenious stories to explain mostly random occurrences.
And heaven knows, we have more than our share of blunderers in the USA in the 21st century!
I do believe that those at the top DEFINITELY work together to kills things which benefit serfs. They view life as a zero sum game cuz NOT everyone can have a 400 ft. yacht and 40 serfs, so anything benefiting the serfs might mean fewer serfs, as the serfs have freedoms and opportunities beyond choosing whose boots their gonna lick.
HOWEVER – when the scum running the savings and loans steal too much, the car companies and the auto companies and the electric companies … hurt, so they get pissed off and help / stay outta the way of the savings and loan scum getting put back in line.
Instead of ‘savings and loans’ insert any large economic sector.
gas ain’t $4.50 a gallon anymore cuz enough big boyz got together and told the market manipulators of exxon et al to knock the shit off, you stolen more than your fair share.
there have been NO punishments for management laser beaming in on stealing EVERYTHING – who cares about the people who make the stuff (and buy some of the stuff!) or the customers buying the stuff or the stuff – steal steal steal… and here is a MIT / Cornell b-school economist to explain how this theft is good (ha ha ha) for the market and for society (ha ha ha).
of course, as the pie shrinks, those with the most pie tend to be the most ruthless, in addition to a few lucky souls who better learn how to be ruthless.
The top is working together to keep us down, but they ain’t all singing from the same page of the same book all the time. there is a LOT of us V. them ‘conspiricy’, but, ALL people are TOO selfish to work thta well together for too long.
rmm.
Color me beyond suspicion.
First of all, we don’t know where the power is. And I think we ought to be spending some effort to find out just who these groups are. We live in the ideal cultural situation for conspiracies to thrive because we have so much information floating around we don’t take any of it that seriously — disinformation campaigns are easy, all you have to do is spread a lot of it around and people, naturally, become confused then pop some stuff that is easy to grasp and motivates the lower brain and there you are.
At any rate, conspiracies are and always have been one of the essential aspects of politics or at least politics when there is a lot at stake. And there has never been as much at stake as we have now. And I do mean NEVER. The wealth and power we see in the world is utterly unique in human history.
To me, those that talk about “tin-foil hats” every time anyone connects more than two dots has to be utterly ignorant of history and utterly ignorant of how things work in the real world of power. I’ve been fortunate to have seen, up close, the real world of the so-called criminal underground. It is no different from the political world I saw in Washington DC, just more polite on the surface.
I just don’t get it. Explain to me how it is that the greatest treasures ever assembled in the world (the U.S. Treasury and the rigged banking/finance system) would not be vulnerable to criminal assault by plotters. How do you suppose that? I just don’t get it. I really don’t — particularly when the culture we are talking about (ours) has one overarching value that trumps everything, i.e., money.
Tell me how it is possible to look at the facts of 9/11 and compare that with the official theory and not smell a rat. It is so fucking obvious — the government and media’s explanation is beyond ridiculous — it is utterly impossible and, amazingly, based on no solid proof at all. It’s as if we lived in a society where the citizens are constantly being fed hallucinogens. Am I wrong?
It is dangerous for even me to access my own data so feel free to not link to the danger which may be myself.
Recent news of impending disasters have been greatly alleviated as the top tiers of global evil overlord secret societies fight with each other. This is why people are seeing it. You certainly don’t have to embrace all of the veils at once, I didn’t.
The information explosion of the internet has brought about an information war with new possibilities. More people can have an input like never before. In all the past communications were all top down with zero possibility of saying WTF? that is not my situation and in almost instant response to something the think tanks spent weeks on. We are wising up with this instant access to global news and situations CT based or not.
Now I could say the US as (the top?) global power should have top advisors coming from and at the global level. Does that not make for an inherent conflict of interests?
A regular person might say no but recall my mommie dearest is a sociopath so I know how these people think.
Off to feed the Apocalyptic Horses.
