You know what? Tubularsock doesn’t EVER think of Missouri much. Like, NEVER. It’s a place that just appears in the abstract as one of the worst places to be. And Tubularsock guesses that one would have to be pretty fucking stupid to live there.
Now yes, Tubularsock is being very narrow minded here but he’s really not sorry for that.
Part of the reason for Tubularsock’s attitude is that he still holds a grudge from that entire Missouri Compromise thing. Fuck Missouri and fuck Maine too!
And fuck old James Monroe as well come to think of it, for even signing the Missouri Compromise.
And after listening to the Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson open his big pig mouth and speak………
………… Tubularsock would burn down Ferguson in a heartbeat single-handedly!
Now Ferguson isn’t the only city in the United States that has a clueless racist douchebag for a police chief but you couple that with Missouri’s governor, Jay Nixon who is pretty close to Howdy Doody (at least in the head) as one could be and it leads Tubularsock right back to “one would have to be pretty fucking stupid to live there”.
So here we have a former slave state with an overwhelming white police force and an out of balance white political establishment attempting to calm a situation with enough armed force to show how fucking scared they are. And so a candle-light vigil turned into a violent burn down the town meet and greet.
And the armed military-style response only did what all armed military-style responses always do all over the world ……. heighten the resentment and intensified the outrage.
So then the scene calmed down a bit when the State Highway Patrol took over and replaced the goon-squad known as the Ferguson Police Force with a calmer approach.
The leader of this band of merry-men was the Token-Blackman, Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson, who could relate to the plight of the community. Being that he was from that area.
Yet as the Molotov Cocktails came out again in defiance of the 12 midnight curfew even the Token-Blackman ordered more teargas! And what would one really expect with any kind of curfew?
A 12 midnight curfew laid down by the power structure would automatically create a need for Tubularsock to go out and get a corn chip from SevenEleven at 12:01. Fuck curfews!
So now the Howdy Doody Governor has called out the National Guard to protect ahhh, just who are they protecting?
Oh yeah! Like eighty of them are protecting the COMMAND CENTER! Right, the Command Center like what’s up with that shit?
Maybe the National Guard should be stationed to protect the community from the fucking police department!
And even though Hoody Doody has said that he was going to remove the National Guard they are still present even though the conflict ended as soon as the curfew was lifted. Surprise, surprise ………
But the National Guard remain in Ferguson but are 100 percent there to guard the cops and only the cops.
Even fucking Attorney General Eric Holder, the White-Blackman, (or is that Uncle Tom?) has expressed a deep concern “that the deployment of military equipment and vehicles sends a conflicting message.”
No shit Dick Tracy! And usually Eric is firmly on the side of expansive government power!
But they really should keep the National Guard there because as soon as the Grand Jury puts out its findings and finds the police officer Darren Wilson free and clear of any wrong doing the fucking town will erupt again ……… guaranteed!
And just why will that happen?
Come now ……….
12 people make up the Grand Jury
7 men and 5 women
3 “African Americans” 1 male 2 females
9 “whites” 6 males 3 females
according to St. Louis County Circuit Court administrator Paul Fox.
Now that isn’t the problem. This is basically the demographic percentage of the racial population of St Louis County.
No, the REAL problem is the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch.
Ol’ Bob is tasked with the job of presenting the case to the Grand Jury. He controls the evidence presented!
And why is Bob the problem?
Well several of his family members are cops for starters. And you may have already figured this out but none of his family are black.
But the whole banana is that in 1964 his father (a cop) was shot and killed by a black man at a public housing complex. McCulloch was 12 when his father was killed.
Bob says he will be fair and impartial and Tubularsock believes he will be. As well as any 12 year old with a dead father who was shot by a black man would be.
So with Bob McCulloch presenting the evidence Michael Brown will be shot again!
NO QUESTION ABOUT IT!

Tubularsock, u’r logic is impeccable. Ferguson, MO is a microcosm of the rotten state of affairs in our not so fair country. I believe another aspect of the Michael Brown murder is to gauge the readiness and effectiveness of a militarized police force against it’s own citizens. The powers that be would want to implement martial law would need to know how much force’s necessary to contain the riot. So how do these shit-for-brains implement this plan?
“Agitation propaganda is the art of stirring people’s emotions to do things they would otherwise not do. Often, it is used to prod people into violence, or bait them into a trap.”
The video is quite illuminating, albeit somewhat circumstantial. Remember, within the Matrix everything is an illusion. “So buckle your seatbelt Dorothy, ’cause Ferguson is going bye-bye!”

1Earth, thank you for taking the time to comment. Tubularsock is aware of this view of things and has to say that Tubularsock would not be surprised if elements of this are not true. But like so much there are many sides to the same coin. And that is not to say that it’s just small change! There are elements within the power structure that think like this for sure but one can not negate the fact that some actions of the power structure is just shallow stupidity! What is important is to keep one’s eyes open and move like the Vietcong! Everything IS an illusion and besides buckling you seat belt ……. make sure your air bag is engaged! May the force be with you but not strong enough to knock you down.

Remember the uproar as the Soviet Union was breaking up? I mainly recall the shame of witnessing troops who refused to fire on crowds of demonstrators. Showed how unprofessional their military was, don’t know why we were so shit-scared of them anyway. We don’t see that here! Our cops and soldiers are properly trained, with no least ambiguity about who they had damn well better serve and protect.
But Tubularsock, have you forgotten that Joseph Smith (the mormon dude) thought the Garden of Eden was in western Missouri? Then again, he believed no end of … curious … stuff. Not to say horseshit.
Missouri’s clearly still the ‘Show-Me State’ — showing warts, skin cancers, leperous lesions and all — so I suppose we must give it credit for that. Thanks for another fine post … and a timely travel advisory. – Linda

Linda, thank you so much for your comment. Wow! That is a lot to take in for Tubularsock, Joseph Smith and the Soviet Union breaking up! You pack a wallop, Linda!
Now Tubularsock needs to address Joseph Smith, ahh yes, the Mormon dude! Tubularsock has spent evenings with the Mormon dude’s disciples in the bunker’s living room discussing the Book of Mormon, which Tubularsock has read along with the Koran and the Bible.
Why? Well Tubularsock doesn’t have a TV and is interested in LIVE (even though braindead) entertainment. And not to forget that Tubularsock is not adverse to horeshit!
And the Garden of Eden in western Missouri ……… why not! It has to be someplace.
As far as Missouri’s “Show-Me State” creds …….. all that is to Tubularsock is SHOW ME OUTTA HERE, FAST!
Now for something easy …….. Because of American Exceptionalism our police and military will kill ANYTHING!
Which leads us back to … there is less horseshit if the horse is dead.
And last but not least, the Tubularsock Travel advisory warning is in force for Ferguson: negative vibes in the area. Perhaps an alternative vacation destination, Uzbekistan. Great soups.

The latest I’ve heard is that Michael Brown was shot while trying to run away. Now, I don’t know how true that is and if his hands were in the air, surely the ‘pigs’ could tell that he had no weapon. But from my understanding, every cop gets off(in more ways than one)by simply saying that they “feared for their life!” Why even join the damn police force if they ‘fear’ for their life so much? Oh, that’s right! They’re there to shoot us at will and expect no repercussions and if someone happens to shoot them in the ass, well now, ain’t that just awful!
Now Tube, haven’t you heard, Michael Brown was just a big ole Black thug? Nothing to see here folks. We gun down big ole Black thugs everyday, in California, New York, Virginia, Texas, Missouri and every state in the union. This is just business as usual. Why the uproar? “Now, get intimidated by those 21-ton military vehicles and remain in your homes. Do not attempt to go the stores, we’ve closed down the streets because you’re ALL teenagers with a curfew!”
Like I’m seriously gonna pay attention to a curfew as I will go any where I damn well please WHEN I want to go! If we keep letting them get away with this, they’re going to take it even further NEXT time and we ALL know that there will indeed, be a next time!
Thanks Tube for another excellent post!

Michael Brown’s only mistake was not carrying a shotgun to defend himself. The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense figured out in the 1960s that this was the only way to keep racist white cops from shooting black men. Ever since the FBI infiltrated and smashed the Black Panthers, things have only gone downhill.

Dr.B, thank you for your comment. The Black Panther Party did take up arms against the cops which led to most of their leadership being dead today. Tubularsock was a big supporter of the Black Panther Breakfast Program and their work in the community in their early stages and I understood their need to arm themselves. But the result is always that the bigger guns win.
This is why Tubularsock believes that the only approach is NOT direct confrontation with power but guerilla action …… it worked for the Vietcong effectively.
