A word to the wise from Tubularsock.

DON’T wake up in the morning and turn on the “news” before you have adjusted your mental-intake-valve.

This is a must if you want to maintain any bit of sanity in the insane world in which you find yourself.

Years ago Krishnamurti said, “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

And of course that holds even more true today. And believe it or not we have hit the iceberg and it seem like the US-TITANIC is going down!

What we are experiencing today is the decline and collapse of a society that has lost its way.

We, as “Americans” have NO VISION, NO MORALITY, NO DIRECTION AND NO LEADERSHIP!

Golly gee, that doesn’t sound good now does it. Well, unless you are the kind of person that will bet on a dead horse and then bitch and moan at being a loser you’ll need to take extra care in viewing what is going down.

Now just where is the surprise in a country that will go off to another country and burn to death thousands of men, women, and children and then be SHOCKED and DISMAYED about your very own gunmen killing people on the streets of our country.

Somehow Tubularsock just isn’t shocked at all. In fact, when Tubularsock looks over the political landscape of this country and our obsessive addiction to guns it seems to be a natural extension of a military mindset.

You see if you are 18, you are a hero if you slaughter the enemy “over-there”. The power structure will even give you a medal!

And by golly the power structure will even give that medal to your parents or spouse if you happen to get yourself dead in your slaughter endeavor. THAT is just how important that MEDAL happens to be. Queue in the hand over the heart ……. so sincere.

Tubularsock see a false sense of priorities here.

Dick Gregory, once said that the U.S. doesn’t have to force democracy on other countries because if it is such a good thing they’ll steal it! WE ourselves have to practice it as an example for others. No we really are going to practice it right after you elect us again and again and again. Remember we only have one party. The party of money & control!

And that is why we aren’t a democracy. We just keep promoting the “IDEA” of Democracy as a propaganda tool for the citizens to believe while the American Oligarchs swim in the cash they create on the backs of the citizens!

DEMOCRACY WE AIN’T!

Now some have called Tubularsock over the years “un-American” …. NA’. Tubularsock is much more on the Fuck-America track. A country that will lock up a person for exposing the TRUTH of the corruption and evils of the military and rather then giving that person a medal for exposing TRUTH they give him 30 years to life! FUCK-AMERICA!

Or a country that will arrest climate activists as terrorists rather than giving them medals for exposing TRUTH! FUCK-AMERICA!

This list could go on as communities militarize their police forces into armies with assholes with guns and expect the citizen to “respect” the police. FUCK-AMERICA!

And Tubularsock’s largest FUCK-AMERICA is directed at the “Two-Party-System which is just ONE PARTY who have never-ever funded a war they didn’t like!

So, DON’T be un-American BE FUCK-AMERICAN!

And God will love you, amen.

But Tubularsock is always hopeful and is in total agreement with Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn when he stated, “The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. ONE WORD OF TRUTH OUTWEIGHS THE WORLD.”

BRING ON THE LIGHT!

WILL BUYDONE WAKE UP?

WILL BUYDONE WAKE UP?

 

Tubularsock just wants to remind you:

Donald Trump is the result

Not the cause.

We got here because the corporate agenda of the neoliberal Democraps trammeled the advancement of regular people from obtaining a middle class level within our society.

Shipping jobs globally without providing a safety net for workers within our own country created an underclass not an advancing middle class.

Not creating a Medicare For All system, like every other modern industrial nation in the world, to protect our own citizens and thereby putting profit over people have devastated the well being of hundreds of thousands of citizens dragging many into homelessness and poverty.

And our policies of CONTINUED WAR for no other purpose than for mega-corporations to pull 60% of our tax dollars into their pockets has prevented advancement in our own country to improve the infrastructure, the education system, and so much more.

The Republican’ts are not blameless in all this societal degradation either. They have played along with the “two-party” as one-party system in order to trade power back and forth for the wealthy leaving the regular citizen to fend for themselves fighting over the waste scraps.

All this that has just happened with the “Trump Mob” is a knock on the door for a truly NEW DIRECTION.

We will see.

It will be an awakened Biden stepping out on the world stage to develop TRUE CHANGE THROUGHOUT, overpowering his propensity to look back and fall back asleep.

THIS IS IT!

Biden is at the split in the political road.

One: fall back on fucking Obummer’s HOPE & CHANGE bull shit and fuck the citizens, as he did.

OR

Two: blaze a NEW PATH and REALLY create hope and change.

The proverbial Ball is in his court!

Tubularsock does not have a lot of faith that Biden has the vision to do anything grand enough to pull us up out of the quagmire we are in as a society.

Empty words and no deeds won’t cut it any longer.

His cabinet picks look just like a fancy corporate Rolodex from the “good old days” and if his administration continues to short change the citizens in favor of the corporate order of things it will only prove that only MOB VIOLENCE is the only thing that they pay attention to and thus a governmental overthrow from the street is all that is left for the citizen to do.

And just a final word on diversity of the BUYDONE cabinet.

It doesn’t matter whether it is a women or a man or a tri-gender or a Black or a White or a Brown, an Asian or a Native American. None of that makes ANY difference if their mindset is the same.

Diversity of mind is what will bring about real change for all, not token colors and sexes.

THE TIME IS NOW!

CHANGE IT JOE OR WE ARE ALL DEAD!

POLITICAL PROPHECY?

POLITICAL PROPHECY

 

As usual, Tubularsock was minding Tubularsock’s own business while sitting in Tubularsock’s top floor corner office in Tubularsock’s underground bunker that overlooks Washington, D.C. (see Bunker Tour).

And through the grape vine the following information was passed along after Tubularsock’s second glass of wine.

It pertains to Octavia Butler who was a Black visionary and a novelist as well and she put forth some excellent thoughts that apply today more than ever even though she died in 2006.

 

 

Ruminate on this gem,

“To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.”

That pretty much covers most of the Presidents of the United States and is even more poignant at this moment in time.

But the REAL thought provoker for Tubularsock is this statement that encapsulates our present moment.

“When vision fails 
Direction is lost.

When direction is lost
 Purpose may be forgotten.

When purpose is forgotten
 Emotion rules alone.

When emotion rules alone,


Destruction… destruction.”

Tubularsock is sure you have noticed that WE as a nation HAVE NO VISION.

Trump wants to take the nation to the brink of destruction

AND

Biden wants to take us BACK to the same economic and foreign affair policies that lead the nation to even consider Trump.

And not to beat a dead horse,

WE as a nation HAVE NO VISION.

So here we are floundering and why is that?

Well Tubularsock has thought long a hard about our predicament and it really comes down to this ……… it is not the leaders that are the problem.

The leaders are just the reflection of those who put them in office!

THE PROBLEM IS US! And the problem exists because the citizens don’t take responsibility and rather than DEMAND good leadership we acquiesce to the default position …….. “the lessor of the two evils” AND THAT IS WHAT WE GET!

In Octavia Butler’s last novel published in 1998, Parable of the Talents, she introduced a situation that occurs in 2032 where a Black woman protagonist, Lauren Olamina, located in Northern California had to provide refuge for outcasts facing persecution after the election of an ultra-conservative president who vows to “make America great again.” And President Jarret’s reign of terror and oppression targets a minority religious faction led by a young black woman that Olamina was protecting.

Interesting, yes?

Remember that it was Ronald Reagan that coined the slogan “make America great again” back in 1980 and it is possible that Butler just projected this future President basing him on what she was seeing during the Reagan Administration.

LET Alzheimer RULE!

OR just maybe by 2023 the way things are going, none of this will really matter because

“When emotion rules alone,


Destruction… destruction.”

FOLLOWING OURSELVES: DON’T LOOK BACK!

Do you believe in Public Education? How about having a community Fire Department?

Do you believe in public owned roads and highways?

Should there be Public Libraries?

Public Parks and playgrounds? Federal National Parks?

Do you believe in the Social Security Program?

ARE YOU A SOCIALIST?

It is strange how “socialism” is defined in “U.S. public speak”.

Because of the fear of the Communism-Hang-Over from the 1950’s, Americans’ have been propagandized to believe that Socialism and Communism are the same thing.

THEY ARE NOT!

Even if Little-Squat-Goldbloom is willing to throw out verbal garbage at Bernie about being a Communist equating it with Socialism ……… Bernie’s retort was damn straight if you were paying attention.

“You say you don’t like socialism, but how is giving $2 trillion to corporations not socialism, just upside down socialism?”

You all remember that bull shit about “welfare queens” sucking off the system and just how appalled the Republican’ts were just a few years back.

But you hear very few Republican’ts and Democraps ever complain about gillions of dollars in government SUBSIDIES being passed out year after year to corporations without much oversight or care. THAT IS SOCIALISM FOR THE RICH!

Oh, just for the fun of it …… “Gosh, where will we get the money to pay for it?”
Remember we are talking about TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS!

Funny how that phrase, “where will we get the money to pay for it” looks different based on who gets the money!

Now these corrupt practices are not a one party monopoly. Don’t forget it was Obummer, under the Democrap’s flag, that bailed out the banks and mortgage brokers after their shady deals with millions of dollars of Federal Funds while leaving the “regular” citizen holding the bag as thousands of them lost their homes.

Thank you so much Barack ………. BUT, “where will we get the money to pay for it”?

And then remember a bribe pay off can happen after an event as well as before.

Less than a year after leaving office Obama received $1.2 million for a series of speeches he made to major Wall Street Firms and Banks he helped bail out. About $400,000. per speech.

Pay off time baby!

And so many people STILL “respect” that scumbag! Fuckkkk! Some people are just not bright! Oh well, in America you are “free” to be stupid. It is just expensive!

But Socialism you are supposed to be AFRAID OF except the socialism for the rich.

So don’t say that Tubularsock didn’t attempted to awaken you.

Tubularsock has concluded that IF the Democraps double-deal Bernie and back Dead-Brain-Biden then the United States will STAY THE COURSE to its own destruction.

It is so uncanny that we are on a very similar trajectory as the Fall of the Roman Empire. (Seriously, check it out yourself)

Rather eery if you ask Tubularsock but it appears we are in lock step.

SO …….. perhaps History DOES repeat itself.

Now just where is that rewind?

LIES WE LIVE BY: AMERICA

The main thing Tubularsock appreciates about OrangeDufus is that he has brought to the light what the United States has been hiding from its own citizens from its founding and this deception was and is to this day the deliberate fabrication that our country REALLY believes in and stands for Justice for all, Freedom for all, and a system that rewards the hard working with a future of prosperity for all.

And as for “moral” leadership? Just when did that EVER exist in our history?

Nope ……. never happened! And YOU know it and your neighbors know it but you push on believing it is true because IF IT IS NOT then who’s running things?

To Tubularsock, it is much like the entire 9/11 facade ……… the story of what occurred is a lie of the highest order but even today when it is brought up people will go the long way around the room to avoid facing the “possibility” that their government lied to them.

WHY? Simple. “If Daddy lies to me then who is in charge and who will PROTECT ME!
Even if the next day he beats me again.

And even more outrageous to Tubularsock and every THINKING person is that “OUR” government LIED us into the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Iraq War to name the short list and the citizens will follow like sheep into the next one and even allow their children to die …………. FOR NOTHING. NOTHING!

It is tiring to watch but the fear and propaganda is fast and furious. And people worry about the fucking Russians ……… go fucking look in the mirror America! YES YOU!

And with all of that we are entering into the 2020 election and if you haven’t noticed, NOTHING HAS CHANGED!

The Roman Bread and Circus in form of the CELL PHONE and social media runs more shit faster than in any other time in the history of the world BUT the population may be dumber. Go figure.

And with G5, when in full operation, we’ll ALL have an ORANGE TAN like the OrangeDufus mixed with fried brains with soy sauce courtesy of Huawei!

And yet the beat goes on …………

And we have the OrangeDufus to thank for the exposing all of this on the obscene level because he is so unfiltered.

He is a TOTAL ASS (not a 1/2 ass) and “thinks” (always a questionable endeavor with him) that what he does is “normal”. A classic deranged mind on steroids.

As opposed to the Step-en-fetch-it Kneegrow, Obummer who talks the smooth jive but was a slave to wall street banks and the military industrial complex and was paid handsomely for bending over and taking it up the ass for the gipper!

And we can’t forget, the total imbecile BabyBush and his fucking CIA daddy for lying us into war with Iraq and destabilizing the entire Middle East using the EVIL PERSONIFIED Prick-Cheney as his lead homey! Fuck them both!

Or how about President Blue Stain Dress Slick Willy and his besty friend Jeffrey Epstein spending all that time on Petalphile Island. Presidential material for sure!

And not last and not least but Tubularsock just has to bring forth head up his ass Alzheimer-Ron. A low time low for presidential standards.

Does any of this point to why the U.S. has been on a rapid decline which may really end with the Dumb-Shit-OrangeDufus?

But what OrangeDufus has done for us is to highlight just how corrupt and dysfunctional the U.S. political establishment is and has been ALL ALONG.

And that is why Bernie is a breath of fresh air and the reason that his CHANGE IN DIRECTION is so frightening the the status quo.

The corporate Democraps will lose their corrupt grip on the system and so will the corrupt Republicant’s!

And you can tell just how scary it is because the Clinton/Obummer wing of the corporate Democraps are willing to let the OrangeDufus win rather than support Bernie!

WHY?

And the reason is as simple and as obvious.

With a Bernie win THEY lose power and the corrupt money they take along the way because they hold that power.

The Republicants are in the same boat!

You see, what we have here is THE CORRUPT DEALINGS of both as well as either/or parties: The Democraps and the Republican’ts and they trade back and forth the power so as to keep their corrupt government contracts and money flow.

Bernie is the monkey wrench in the gears of corruption and THAT is why both parties will do whatever necessary to stop Bernie and save THEIR gravy train. EVEN IF HE WINS!

And in the process ………. FUCK YOU MR. AND MRS. AND MISS AND MS. AND YOUR PRONOUN OF CHOICE AMERICA!

Now don’t get Tubularsock wrong here. Bernie has his own baggage. His total foreign policy record is not to the liking of Tubularsock BUT it is not out of line with what traditional American foreign policy has been …….. complete domination of the world!

No, Bernie’s strength lies in SOCIAL REFORM and fairness within the U.S. boarders.

Medicare4All, the Green New Deal, free public college, universal free child care and always the resounding chorus of “HOW DO WITH PAY FOR THIS?”

We pay for this the exact same way we pay for CONTINUOUS WAR! That’s how.

Ever notice that there is ALWAYS enough to bloat the Pentagon Budget but never enough for child care? Ever wonder why?

Simple answer: there is more profit for the few with WAR than helping the citizen with a chance to live a prosperous life. Think on this! It explains a lot!

NOW.

Even with a Bernie win (if that is even possible in a system of cheats and scoundrels) those who control the power are not going to give up nor are they going to roll over and play dead.

The powerful will stonewall the system BIG-TIME to prevent any changes where they lose power and PROFIT, period!

So IF Bernie does win, it will take those who elected him not to go back to sleep like American voters always do after an election (you know, “let daddy handle it from here”) but to stay active as a mass movement and support the changes needed aggressively.

Like: Shut down the system until it responds to the changes necessary for a free and fair DEMOCRACY!

Stop buying shit until change happens. Remember a loss of profit in this system speaks louder than photos of starving children!

Can this happen? Well, “Tubularsock Has A Dream”, and unlike other dreamers Tubularsock won’t be standing on any motel balconies any time soon.

AS THE EARTH TURNS: A SUMMARY

Oh boy. Tubularsock is sitting alone in his top floor corner office in the underground bunker overlooking Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA (see Bunker Tour) and the view is surreal and down right depressing BUT ONLY IF you haven’t gotten on your protective Tubularsock over-gear protection attire from what’s really happening.

Fortunately you can purchase your very own TOGPA (Tubularsock over-gear protection attire) for an inexpensive 13 hundred dollars and change.

And then you-2 can be protected from the society you live in everyday.

Tubularsock set some time aside from the world of political decay to watch some current movie trailers. WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with this society? THIS SHIT is entertainment?

They have got to be kidding. Destruction, mayhem, endless car chases to no where for no reason and broken, shattered, deformed, fucked up relationships that have absolutely NO-NONE-NADA reason to even care about the fucking outcome!

The end of civilization, end of communities, end of relationship and having one’s face ripped off like it is a mask by some freakish disembodied “thing” that resembles “your mother” and you are expected to eat hot buttered pop corn after THAT!

FUUUUUUUUUCK!

So, Tubularsock adjusted his TOGPA and pushed on to the political terrain and the daily happenings of “Western Civilization” and well, Tubularsock can’t tell the difference from the movie trailers.

Dump is out of control, Barr, jokingly the head of the “Justice” Department, is kowtowing to the OrangeDufus and throwing the rule of law out the window to allow Roger Stone to walk.

The few “headaches” of our military personal after the Iranian missile attacks in retaliation for Soleimani’s killing has morphed into many more dead and wounded that is slowly leaking out from the Pentagon but MOST significant is the killing of American Michael D’Andrea who was a prominent figure, the head of Iran operations for the CIA, and the man who orchestrated the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani as well as other targeted murders.

This is BIG enough that, the MSM hasn’t really covered it much.

Nor has the OrangeDump noticed that what goes around comes around. Tubularsock figures no one has informed him about it for safety sake.

And in further “spy news” it has been “leaked” by the Washington Post (a CIA outlet) that for years the backbone of the Cold War was the CIA’s ability to have a “backdoor” to nearly EVERY country’s computer system so as to spy on them.

Strange. Who didn’t already know this? So just why is the CIA leaking this now?

Has to do with Huawei (the Chinese leading global provider of information and communications technology).

It’s a PR stunt to warn that China is spying (supposedly) on EVERYONE the same way the CIA has done for years. And if the world goes to Huawei’s 5G system then it edges out the CIA’s “backdoor” to the world wide system.

It also puts a dent in the sales of American technology in Europe and South America.

Which brings Secretary of State Mike Pompeo out of the woodwork like a cockroach to declare that the Chinese Communist Party is “the central threat of our times”!

Does it really matter if the 5G system is from the U.S. or China when it fucking fries your brain and turns your skin to a Trump-Orange-Tint?

And the Democrap’s are out doing themselves to stop Bernie but the PEOPLE seem to be awakening at least a little ……. we shall see.

It is rather funny that Bernie is a “socialist” BUT Obummer took government money, tax payer money, and bailed out the Banks and the Auto Industry and ALL of the Presidents have backed Government subsidies to corporations BUT they call it “a free enterprise system”! Horse shit supreme!

In a free market system the fittest shall survive! Once the government steps in and SUBSIDIES corporations we are headed for fascism.

But if the workers start to control the means of production then it leans toward socialism.

And Bernie leans toward New Deal Socialism which is a focus on the citizen and the citizen’s well being as opposed to the American oligarchs.

EAT THE RICH!

A QUICK SUMMARY WITH LIMITED READING: BUILT FOR AMERICANS!

 

Tubularsock has been busy rebuilding his second-story deck off his top floor corner office in his underground bunker overlooking Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA. (see Bunker Tours)

During the time Tubularsock was attempting to save this illusionary world with common sense knowledge the deck was colluding with its “dry-rot” friends and slowly deteriorating. KA–ZAM! Enter Tubularsock and the mission of rebuild has been accomplished!

So Tubularsock is going to provide a quick review of disconcerting events that have been and are currently happening all around you. No, you are NOT safe.

Enjoy.

 

FOREIGN POLICY

 

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

 

 

FUN FACT ONE COULDN’T EVEN MAKE UP!

 

And just what would we do without SCANDALS to keep our small American minds trivial and bewildered? So don’t thank Tubularsock now, just wait!

Petrina Ryan-Kleid, an Australian artist living in New York City, painted this oil painting and it was sold at a fundraiser for the New York Academy of Art around 2012. She didn’t know who had acquired her painting and was completely surprised when she was told that Jeffrey Epstein, the alleged child sex trafficker, had her work hanging in his Manhattan home. (Washington Examiner 8/16/19)

 

 

Sure it’s creepy, but so are both Hillary and Bill!

 

Tubularsock could go on but then Tubularsock would miss sitting on his new deck, Bon Voyage Tubularsock!

 

 

 

 

 

IT COSTS TOO MUCH!

IT COSTS TOO MUCH!

You know, Tubularsock finds all the debates over “How Are We Going To Pay For It” such an odd concept.

“Money” is just a concept, an idea out there in the space. IT IS MADE UP!

At one time “they” attempted to tag money to some physical reality like GOLD.

And GOLD too is just a physical concept due to agreement …… really, in truth it is worthless. UNLESS you agree it has value and then BY AGREEMENT it has value.

Now Tubularsock has always valued potato chips, no really. Potato Chips have value.

And as a means of value there is a problem with potato chips because in Tubularsock’s case, once Tubularsock has eaten the potato chips, well you can see why others chose GOLD.

OH my, Tubularsock digresses.

Well when people speak about Medicare For All or The Green New Deal or even Welfare for the poor the chorus is “WE DON’T HAVE THE MONEY”.

“HOW CAN WE GET THE MONEY?” “WHO’S GOING TO PAY FOR THAT?”

Well it is just a matter of priorities, we just have to change the agreement.

For example, back in 2013 TIME MAGAZINE did a study of cost-per-flight-hour data for U.S. military aircraft.

Now it is 2019 so you can be positive that the cost reflection is way, way, way, way higher now. In fact, you can count on it.

But somehow we can afford these costs. Now why is that? And then, if we shifted these costs to helping the poor and healthcare and the environment then how could it cost any more than we are spending right now.

You see the money is already being spent and we have it to spend so let’s not spend it on what we are already spending it on and rather on what we really need!

So check this out:

To fly Air Force One (The President’s “ride”) it costs $161,591.00 a FLIGHT-HOUR! That is not the cost of the on the ground costs this cost is the cost while it is in the air!

The President’s Huey Helicopter (This is the President “chopped-ride”) cost $13,634.00 a FLIGHT-HOUR!

Would you like to add up OrangeTweets hours on these two aircraft to just deliver his orange-fat body to Mar-a-Lago for golf! And this is for 2017 IN Flight Cost.

The cost of on ground expenses for the Secret Service and Coast Guard protection and staff costs are not reflected in these costs.

Well, 6 million 6 hundred thousand dollars for IN FLIGHT COST only and this is JUST FOR Mar-a-Lago trips!

 


Melania & OrangeTweet with the Secretary Of The Deplorables, Tubularsock deplaning THE Mar-A-Lago Express …………. FOUR!

 

Now the difficulty of exacting these figures is a challenge because many sources use different base lines depending on what agenda they are trying to push. And “in flight hour cost” are always rising so good luck on keeping up.

And this is not just an OrangeTweet issue. Obummer spent $96.9 million on travel during his 8 years of his Presidency but presently OrangeTweet is running about a half of million A MONTH more and that is JUST THE COST OF AIRFARE!

However, picky, picky, picky. The point is not that the President wastes money traveling BUT that money could be spent far better for citizens needs.

 

But why stop there?

The Global Hawk Drone cost $49,089.00 (2013 rate) a flight hour …… remember that is just while it is in the air. EVERY HOUR IN THE AIR.

Oh and it can surpass 30 hours in a single flight. Which means that for that one flight the cost is $1 million, 472 thousand, 670 dollars.

But there must be a cost to build this thing, right?

Yep!

The “fly away cost” from the factory of a Global Hawk Drone was in $10,000,000.00 in 1994 BUT by 2013 the price became $69,900,000.00 each and then went to $131,400,000.00 each! (that is MILLION )

This price hike is known as a COST OVERRUN to some but to others, Tubularsock included, it is massive CORPORATE WELFARE and it happens all the time.

Seems no one notices except when some homeless man cheats with his food stamps!
And then we have a Congressional Investigation on this cheating of the system.

And we do this all with righteous indignation!

But corporate welfare to Northrop Grumman is just business as usual.

The Global Hawk Drone is the type that Iran just shot down after it crossed into their air space. Oh well, $131 million. WE CAN AFFORD ANOTHER ONE, right? It’s just the cost of doing business!

But the beat goes on:

Remember the per flight hour is the time the plane is in the air and has nothing to do with the cost of maintenance or the incredible price tag and COST OVERRUNS of each of these and many others of the thousands of planes that the USAF fly EVERYDAY!

And as Tubularsock is writing this, OrangeFuck is planning his Military Bull Shit Offensive for the 4th of July and the outrageous costs that will be wasted and then to hear, WE CAN’T AFFORD FREE EDUCATION FOR ALL —– HORSE SHIT!

No, it is priorities NOT money that is the issue.

But here is the critical part, this is not a Democrap vs. Republican’t issue!

THIS IS A TRANSITIONAL ISSUE!

What kind of world do you want to live in?
And YOU decide!

When you step outside of your door every morning, YOU choose what you meet.
Don’t think so ………….. try it and pay attention!

Don’t fear ………. Tubularsock will turn back to cynicism tomorrow, promise!

THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF 2018

 

Well a fucking HO-HO-HO to everyone.

Another year is closing and world peace and goodwill toward men is headed for the exit.

The Government is shut down.

The Stock Market is headed toward the depths of hell.

The Congress is not willing to throw 5 billion on blocks to build “The Wall”.

The Orange-Child is kicking, pouting, and tweeting about …. whatever.

And it is business as usual in good old Amerikkka.

For Tubularsock it is that happy time of year when total strangers yell out “Merry Christmas”, or the much more PC, “Happy Holidays” to you.

Of course, Tubularsock yells back …… “Same to ya fella, and so’s your mother.”

 

And Tubularsock’s favorite Christmas past time, sitting on a bench and watching people ladened with gaily colorful packages stepping over the homeless in order to get home with their happy treasures to share in Christmas cheer BEFORE the credit card bills arrive.

 

Well hell, they gave 20 bucks to a food bank what else can one do?

So with total optimism Tubularsock faces 2019 because we can all hope that it can get worse which then will make all this current shit become, “The Good Old Days”!

TRUMP: THE TURKEY REFLECTION

 

Now tell Tubularsock, just what in the fuck is the President of the United States of America taking the time to “PARDON A TURKEY”?

Well, it makes perfect sense.

It is a perfect extension of American policy. What we do in reality is ALWAYS the opposite of what we say we are doing! Get it yet?

We support the concept of Democracy for the People of the world by supporting, arming, training any dictatorial regime that will support U.S. imperialism. EVEN IF WE have to overthrow a democratically elected government voted in by the people if it doesn’t conform to American hegemony!

Our national leader pardon’s ONE Turkey and then we as a nation go out and have 46 million turkeys slaughtered to eat on one day EVERY YEAR!

Eighty-eight per cent of American families surveyed by the National Turkey Federation eat turkey at Thanksgiving.

 

Which bring us right to the National Turkey Federation. Tubularsock bets you never knew we had one, now did you?

Yep, we sure do and it is an international non-profit organization whose mission is ‘the conservation of the wild turkey and the preservation of our hunting heritage” to kill wild turkeys. Wow, another loyal corporate lobbying group pushing ahead for managing the kill.

Pretty much like Boeing, Lockheed Martin and BAE Systems for people killing. Sautéed in a French wine sauce and it almost brings our taste buds back to our colonial past.

JUST LIKE THANKSGIVING!

But you really have to ponder, just a little bit, don’t let it get in the way of the leftovers ad nauseam.

Just how culturally programed are we? FUCKING, LIKE TOTALITY!

Here is how, and it will show you that most people BELIEVE ANYTHING if it is packaged right and repeated long enough. (WOULD YOU like to name a president that hasn’t used that technique?)

National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation is a ceremony that takes place at the White House every year shortly before Thanksgiving. It dates back to the 1940’s as a lobbying technique to promote turkey sales. For a while it was a joint lobbying and marketing tool for the egg and poultry industry as well but that ended and the turkey trot won out.

It wasn’t until 1989 that the concept of “pardon” took hold and caught on to this day. Interesting that the CIA President Daddy Bush was the President to start that tradition.

But still what is lost in this entire scam is the only “tradition” in any of this is turkey sales!

Capitalism at its best ……. NO MEANING, JUST MONEY!

An important moral side note for those that have any morality left in this society:

Benjamin Franklin, who proposed the turkey as the official United States’ bird, was dismayed when the bald eagle was chosen over the turkey.

“Franklin wrote to his daughter, referring to the eagle’s “bad moral character,” saying, “I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country!

The turkey is a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America.”

Just goes to show you that the birds you hang with corrupt your vision. Tubularsock believes your mother told you the same thing about your friends. Right?
