Knowledge Is Power

On Overwhelm

knowing what it is is the key to fighting it

Feeling overwhelmed by the nooz, bombarded with all the gubbmint changeyness, swamped with all the nonsense? [and I don’t mean “nonsense” as a dismissive pejorative; I mean to describe the piles and piles of stuff we see daily that just doesn’t make sense. Like politicians calling voters “terrorists” or saying that “living within your means has no meaning”—or ‘economists’ saying that voting against Crap&Raid is “traitorous to the planet”.]

Yeah. Me, too. I think that sense of overwhelm is called Cloward-Piven-itis…

Yeah, GBeck is a DQ* --- but ya gotta admit, he’s got a point there, somewhere. Here’s the “Editorial Review” of a book he’s been talking about. It’s already big in Frants, and coming here on Amazon now [gift wrap available!]

The Coming Insurrection is an eloquent call to arms arising from the recent waves of social contestation in France and Europe. Written by the anonymous Invisible Committee in the vein of Guy Debord—and with comparable elegance—it has been proclaimed a manual for terrorism by the French government (who recently arrested its alleged authors). One of its members more adequately described the group as “the name given to a collective voice bent on denouncing contemporary cynicism and reality.” The Coming Insurrection is a strategic prescription for an emergent war-machine to “spread anarchy and live communism.”

Written in the wake of the riots that erupted throughout the Paris suburbs in the fall of 2005 [I thought those were “disaffected ~~jihaddis~~ youths?”] and presaging more recent riots and general strikes in France and Greece, The Coming Insurrection articulates a rejection of the official Left and its reformist agenda, aligning itself instead with the younger, wilder forms of resistance that have emerged in Europe around recent struggles against immigration control and the “war on terror.”

Hot-wired to the movement of ‘77 in Italy, its preferred historical reference point, The Coming Insurrection formulates an ethics that takes as its starting point theft, sabotage, the refusal to work, and the elaboration of collective, self-organized forms-of-life. It is a philosophical statement that addresses the growing number of those—in France, in the United States, and elsewhere—who refuse the idea that theory, politics, and life are separate realms.

Swell. I recently overheard someone [forget who] theorizing that, before long, there will be groups of sorry, disaffected Uh-bama voters [the not-so-dead ones] hitting the streets to demand their free ponies and unicorn skittles. And those “demonstrations” will be planned. Here’s your literary justification to take that a step further.

Cambridge MA cops arrest an unruly black man who happens to be robert Gates and without having all the facts Obama immediately said that the Cambridge Police acted stupidily and that unfortunately racism is still a problem in the US. Jumping to those kind of conclusions must be Ok then I assume.....
The guy was videotaped that morning in full muslim garb. He gave away copies of the Koran. He was disciplined for his muslim outbursts to patients and fellow coworkers. He called himself a palestinian. When jumping up on the table to start shooting people he yelled “Alluha Akhbar”....Lets not jump to conclusions......LMAO

Isn’t that just special??!!

All of the wailing and hand wringing by the Dimocraps about the heartless insurance companies, and yet ...

who will be in charge of compliance with Obama’s Hell Care? Why the IRS, of course. IRS is synonymous with compassion, right? I’ll take the insurance companies or the Spanish Inquisition any day!

Hog,

I go with “E”!! Surely would explain the “sphincter breath”!

And Master Chief, this may very well be the straw which breaks the constitution loving camels back. Though heaven knows, the founding fathers and their compatriots would have launched far far sooner.

The foundation has about 14,000 members nationwide, including 900 in Washington.

And most of them fill the House and Senate known as Demon-crats, and in the Czars of the White House.

This is clearly a violation of the Constitution! It would never stand scrutiny by the Supreme Court. BUT, before that it would be fatal for any elected Representative.
