ROCK ON STANDING!

ROCK ON STANDING!

This morning Tubularsock arose with this on his mind. It is something so obvious that you’d think at first, “why is it so profound?”

When we came to these shores, and Tubularsock is using “the we” in the pejorative sense here, we came as “an advanced” civilization and looked upon the indigenous peoples as “lessor than”. Something to destroy, control, “educate” and to “save” in God’s name.

And, by jove, with all the destruction our civilization has brought forth onto the indigenous peoples WE still haven’t even learned their basic teaching. WE, the more advanced, the more sophisticated, the more educated missed a fundamental principle to life itself.

How has this transpired?

Well, Tubularsock doesn’t have all day to hash this over really. And you already know. After all, many of you have allowed the education system once again to fill your small children’s minds with that fucking Thanksgiving bullshit AGAIN!

So exactly what about, “WE came and brutally slaughtered “the Indians” and took there shit”, is so difficult to explain to our kids before we gather around with our dysfunctional families in our dysfunctional society and hack up a dead turkey carcass on our dining room table? Seems like a pretty easy thing to do but WE DON’T.

Now the other day Tubularsock happened to see an interview where President Step-en-Fetch-It responded to this young journalist’s questions about WHAT is the “President” doing about the Standing Rock Sioux pipeline protest. And this gutless wonder we call a president says he’s “monitoring the situation”.

Now exactly what is there to be “monitoring”? And at what point did the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers come up with an oil pipeline that would run through ancient burial grounds of the Sioux and run along and UNDER major water sources?

Which brings us back to where we started. At what point did WE as a civilization FORGET that you don’t foul your water supply?

NO, REALLY. THINK ON IT!

WHO’S ON FIRST?

WHO’S ON FIRST?
Ok ……….. President Elect Tweet isn’t Laural and Hardy……… YET!
But looking at his minions …… Holy Shit, as the Pope would say.

But what does he stand for?

So far President Elect Tweet has changed his position on torture because he talked with Four Star General James N. Mattis and Mattis said, “(He) found more value in building trust and rewarding cooperation with terrorism suspects: “‘Give me a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers, and I’ll do better.’”(NY Times)

On the link between human activity and climate change Tweet now says, “I think there is some connectivity … it depends on how much.” Now on the surface that doesn’t seem like much of a change but it is a MAJOR change from “. . . climate change was(is) a hoax fabricated by the Chinese”.

President-elect Donald Tweet will not pursue an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. Or anything else about the Clintons. This is a rather significant change of position from, “I will say this: Hillary Clinton has to go to jail, ok ? She has to go to jail, phony hit job. She’s guilty as hell.”

And then there’s OBAMACARE …….. from get rid of it to making legal changes made to President Obama’s Affordable Care Act.

AND NOW Tweet is distancing himself from the alt-right movement as its white supremacist members claim his election as a boon for their agenda.
“I disavow and condemn them,” Tweet said Tuesday (11/22/16) during a wide-ranging interview with staff members of The New York Times.

AND THE WALL? Well, it may have to be scaled back a bit and just not be as long or high or maybe not at all.

And all this is where Tubularsock see some possibility of “hope and change” with President Elect Tweet ….. yes it is slight ……. very slight but a crack enough for possibly some “light” to get in.

We shall see ……… proceed but stay low because the ricochet may be risky.

But really, there is something refreshing about a person that can change direction when new information is presented and not be stopped by being wrong and refuse to change out of looking bad. On the contrary, President Elect Tweet views himself as NEVER WRONG about anything. Whatever position he holds that minute is CORRECT until it is not and then the exact opposite may be CORRECT. But DURING THE TIME he holds a position he is RIGHT!

And not only RIGHT but the GREATEST RIGHT you have ever witnessed bar none!

Now it can’t get better than that ………..

BLIND TRUST FANTASY

BLIND TRUST FANTASY

There has been an outcry by many that President Elect Tweet put his businesses not just into his family’s control but place his entire business assets and investments into a blind trust.

And this has always sounded good for people who know insider deals about to happen to not be able to use that information to feather their own family nest.

And it seems like the perfect solution, doesn’t it?

Well it is a silly cover …….

Let Tubularsock give you a typical Tubularsock Example.

Tubularsock takes all his money and invests in Atomic-Ping-Pong-Balls. Yes, it is a futuristic concept which may or may not even work.

Because it is a new investment “opportunity” the share price is $3.00 a share. And Tubularsock buys 500,000 shares. That means that Tubularsock’s total cost is $1 and a half million. (remember this is an example and Tubularsock’s current “funds” fall a bit short of this amount.)

Then Tubularsock goes off to Washington, D.C. as President or Senator or even a member of the House of Representatives.

And a blind trust is set up “in good faith” to show no conflict of interest. (Horse-shit, to coin an economic phrase that fits the bill.)

Now remember, this is a simple straight forward example but the idea can be perfected a number of ways and the end result is controlled wealth accumulation with the advantage of the fantasy of no conflict of interest.

So to make this example more realistic let’s take Tubularsock’s name out of the equation and in its place substitute the name of say, ahhh …. Senator McNUT.

Now Senator McNUT works the system in the Senate and gets a plum committee chairmanship. This may take a couple of years or even less depending on his value to his party but in time he is made Chairman of the Advanced Military Systems Committee.

And because of his position and influence (due to the fact that other Senators are busy doing the same type of scam) McNUT puts forth and fast-tracks a new weapon known as APPB Munitions.

And through “deal-making” gets the Committee to vote this new futuristic weapon into existence and moves it through to passage.
Now remember, Atomic-Ping-Pong-Balls may not even work BUT this is the Federal Government and all that is needed to be said that, it is “believed” that APPB could STOP terrorism!

Of course, outside the Washington bubble Atomic-Ping-Pong-Balls stock takes a leap upward. Upon passage the stock jumps to $10 a share! OR $5 million for blind trust McNUT.

Now this continues and say Atomic-Ping-Pong-Balls actually kind-of-works. Well remember this is the Federal Government so additional contracts are given for APPB and the price per share jumps to $33 a share due to a “maybe” break threw and Senator McNUT’s investment increases to $16 million 500 thousand.

Are you getting the point. And lets say Senator McNut did this with just five defense products ……. early retirement, yes?

The manipulation is done wide open and the “blind-trust” really is a “BLIND-BLING”

And the BLIND BLING works at many levels. The Clinton Foundation is a wonderful BLIND BLING. You’ll be noticing Obummer’s speech circuit after he leaves office as how the BLIND BLING works, Michelle’s as well.

The “pay-off” comes AFTER! It is a POSTED DATED BRIBE and it is deemed A-OK with the established power elite. Hey, that is how American Democracy is done!

AND THE BEAT GOES ON ………………..

Should you worry about the SWAMP THAT TWEET’S CREATING?

FUCK YEAH!

But before the fucking clinton-obama holier than thou crescendo reaches a greater volume ….. reflect on THIS BLIND BLING CON.

Now reread Tubularsock’s thoughts …… TRUTH CAN BE FOUND IN A LOST WORLD!

WORLD PEACE — VOTE TUBULARSOCK!

WORLD PEACE — VOTE TUBULARSOCK! ***

In any given election those who want your vote will promise you ANYTHING but not Tubularsock. Tubularsock, just like take-out Chinese …. delivers!

Tubularsock has a full scale plan to end war in our time. We are talking PEACE here folks. PEACE for you, PEACE for your children, and PEACE for your grandchildren!

Now how, you ask, can Tubularsock create PEACE and stop war in our time?

SIMPLE!

War is ONLY ABOUT profit. War has nothing to do with bringing “democracy” to other people of the world, or humanitarian concerns about poorer nations, or even caring about others. War is ONLY ABOUT profit!

Now Tubularsock’s A JET IN EVERY GARAGE PROGRAM will keep Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman in the profit column for years to come because EVERY YEAR there will be a new model with all new features! Like the “extras” provided by BAE Systems that will include the Hawk Advanced Jet Trainer that provides sophisticated simulation training for your teenage pilots. Just think of the possibilities!

And don’t forget about the end of “road-rage”! With proper training the new popular “air-rage” will help be prevented by L-3 Communications unmanned aircraft systems. See, nobody there to get angry with! Sweet!

And think of the growth in the building trades. JOBS, JOBS, JOBS when each American family (like Obamacare) will be required to build a three-jet-garage! Can it get better than that!

Tubularsock thinks outside the box AND A VOTE FOR TUBULARSOCK WILL PUT YOU IN THE JET STREAM!

TERRORIST DATING

Tubularsock was sitting in his top floor corner office in his underground bunker overlooking Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA (see: The Bunker Tour) pondering another Saturday night. The fact that they come once a week just show how often one has to think about Saturday night.

Now that old adage, “Home Alone On A Saturday Night” comes to mind. Well, why for so many is that a bad thing? But it appears to be for many and that leads them to seek out company of some type. You know ….. A DATE!

And if you can find A DATE what are your options for a “good time”?

Well for some it still is bowling …… yes, Tubularsock is repulsed by that idea too!

Dinner ………. ahh, really? Tubularsock can’t think of eating across from somebody that he doesn’t know. Tubularsock can do THAT at any diner and not have to pick up the tab!

A Movie? OH GOD NO! Not another fucking movie. Most movies are well ahhhh ….. shit! Good vs. Evil, Love Conquers All, Lost Love, Death, well you know …… shit!

Dancing ……… well with the music at 2300 decibels you don’t have to talk!

Tubularsock knows that you have done all of the above and more.

So WHY NOT get modern and be on the cutting edge for a change?

And that is where Tubularsock’s NEW TERRORIST DATING DATE comes in.

LET TUBULARSOCK KNOW HOW IT GOES.

EGO MANIA PERSONIFIED

EGO MANIA PERSONIFIED

Tubularsock has been looking at the obvious and the great thing about looking at the obvious is, well it’s obvious.

We have an incredible psychological study developing right in front of our eyes on our life sized television screens EVERYDAY!

And that study, of course, is the run for the Presidency.

Now before Tubularsock pushes forth let us all understand that the Presidency and the individuals that run for that office are just a composite of those who elect them.

Therefore if the candidate is packed to the brim with “The-Simpleton-Of Bullshit” (TSOS) then those who follow him/her are psychologically attracted to and fooled by Bullshit which makes them a Simpleton. Plain and simple.

And if the candidate is packed to the brim with being “Grossly-Self-Centered-And-Conceited” (GSCAC) then those who follow him/her are psychologically attracted to and fooled by the same abnormality. Plain and simple.

An so it goes with a candidate packed with a “The-Craze-For-Power” (TCFP) then those who follow him/her are psychologically attracted to and fooled by power. Plain and simple.

So to make a long theory short, Tubularsock will put it all in a “NUT” shell for you. Whatever the characteristics of the candidates are are just the reflection of the supporters. And naturally if enough fucked up TSOS, GSCAC and TCFP vote, the end result is a Composite-America.

Kind of spooky, isn’t it.

Now Tubularsock’s only point is that We The People have fucked ourselves. That means ALL OF US! Because the 1% can not control the 99% without tacit compliance.

And how do they do this?

By the oldest trick in the book ……. DIVIDE AND CONQUER!

“So how does that work?” you ask. Interesting that you asked.

Well the “stuff” is divide up in a hierarchical manner so some people get a bit more than others and then the idea of fear of shortage is introduced.

Thereby those with the most for themselves are afraid of losing what they have so in order to protect their amount of stuff they come together and protect their level.

From time to time a damn socialist historically comes through the system and proposes that we share our stuff but the response is always, “IT’S MY STUFF!”

………….. and the beat goes on.

Oh sure, Tubularsock knows of the complexities but for today Tubularsock is explaining the theories in the “NUT” shell fashion for your convenience being that you are in the 99% but the lower third.

So now that Tubularsock has gotten all of today’s theories out of the way let us talk about EGO MANIA PERSONIFIED which was where Tubularsock was headed all along as hinted by the title.

Both Hillary and Don are EGO-TOP-HEAVY (ETH) a well know psychological term coined by Tubularsock about a half minute ago. But has a long history in the psychological community and why in some circles they put “Dr.” in front of Tubularsock’s name.

And there is no better way to show the ETHness of Hillary and Don but through a Rorschach type test invented by Dr. Tubularsock,TSOS-Phd. in his off hours in Tubularsock’s top floor corner office in his underground bunker overlooking Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA (see: The Bunker Tour).

The ETHness technique test has the subject (you) examined to detect “thought disorder” as well as “JHFUAY disorder” (a disorder noticed by Dr. Tubularsock at both the Democratic and Republican Parties Conventions over the years as well as the Sadie Hawkens Dance in the 8th grade.)

Now it is clear to anyone with a brain that both Hillary and Donnie have ETH. That is a given. And is proven by both of their vice presidential choices as shown here.

In both cases, Hillary and Donnie picked a non-threatening, boring, limited intelligent, vice president. One that would NEVER “out-shine” them.

This, in both cases happens to be a clear sign of ETH!

If for any reason, YOU don’t see the obvious … please make an appointment to see Dr. Tubularsock,TSOS-Phd. for an evaluation.

Phones are now open 415-Iamsick. Operators are standing by.

HILLARY’S $15.00 AN HOUR?

Posted: June 1, 2016 in 2016 Presidential Election, Bernie Sanders, economics, Hillary Clinton
Tags: 2016 Presidential Election, Hillary Clinton

According to Fortune Magazine Hillary Clinton spends around $1400.00 on her pantsuits. They are designed by Nina McLemore who also have Elizabeth Warren and Janet Napolitano as clients.

McLemore states that Clinton doesn’t venture beyond the pantsuit because McLemore believes that, “Once the brain makes a conclusion about a person, based on a first look, whether that impression is positive or negative, it’s done; it’s not just a first impression, it’s a stamp.”

McLemore further believes that, “TV is where charisma and attractiveness count far more than substance.” Something Richard Nixon figured out as it was happening even though he lacked charisma and attractiveness AS WELL AS substance!

Now Clinton’s “blah” uniform: boxy blazer, shapeless slacks, simple shirt, statement necklace and sensible shoes don’t come cheep.

The pantsuit runs $1400, the “simple shirt” runs $200, the statement neckless can run from $300 to $1500 so say $600, the sensible shoes around $500.

So for Hillary to look “charismaly blah” it costs about $2700.00 not counting undergarments which Tubularsock will assume are cotton boxer shorts due to the lack of sexual interest in her from her sexually crazed husband. Granted the undergarment thing is speculative on Tubularsock’s part.

So it cost $2700.00 to look Clinton-blah. And she has dozens of pantsuits. So 12 x 2700.00 = $32,400.00.

Now Hillary says that $15.00 an hour is too much to pay a worker. She has backed $12 but Bernie has forced her up to $15. Or that’s what she says to get votes right now. Don’t count on that, folks …….. she’s a lier.

But it would take a 180 – $15 dollar hours to pay for ONE of Hillary Clinton’s blah outfits which is 22.5 — 8 hour days!

It would take 2,160 hours to dress Hillary 12 times.
(and Tubularsock doesn’t included the deductions from the paycheck for worker’s comp, taxes, and health care)
180 hours for one pantsuit set up

22 1/2 — 8 hour days to dress Hillary once

270 days to dress Hillary 12 times

or around 9 months of work.

And Hillary has said that businesses can’t afford to pay $15.00 an hour but she has been willing to vote YES on BILLIONS of dollars on war …… she never says we can’t afford THAT!

So the average Joelet can work an 8 hour day and still can’t pay for a decent lifestyle.
And Hillary is just above ALL THAT. You know, from the helicopter people even look small.

And yet, why is it that working women, Blacks and Hispanics support her?

TUBULARSOCK FREE ADVICE

You remember the old adage, “You don’t get something for nothing”, right? And in today’s world you don’t even get something for something! Whether it’s job numbers or economic growth it is all a shimmer, an imaginary glow built on shifting sand. And as often than not your castle will take a hit if not fall down completely.

So you listen to the predictions and the forecasts and you think that you are “in the know” BUT the lie is deep and the entire monetary system is just an agreement. It is NOTHING or EVERYTHING by agreement.

That is why you don’t have a chance ……. you can save and end up with nothing, you can spend and end up with nothing, and you can go deeply in debt and end up with nothing. Pretty much it’s NOTHING!

You see we have been trained to believe that having something is important and we have been trained that what we have is the definition of who we are. And yes we have fallen for it.

We NEED the new iPhone, car, house, mate, child, clothes, shoes, hair style to define OUR POSITION in the lie in which we ~~live~~ survive. And the first sign that you have been suckered into this labyrinth is when you agree to wake up at six AM take your car and sit in a long, slow-crawling line of cars inching along to cubical land where you sit on a computer all day doing meaningless tasks until the magic AGREED upon number of 5PM.

The magic AGREED upon number of 5 opens the door that allows you to go out and get in you car and sit in a long, slow-crawling line of cars inching along back to your bed.

Oh sure, there are variants to this scenario but the results are the same …….. you live in slavery to your THINGS!

Because you think your THINGS define your POSITION and your WORTH in the society in which you ~~live~~ survive.

And here is where the depth of OUR conditioning shows through the cracks. Tubularsock has been observing a group of “homeless” people who “work” a particular corner in the city in order to make their income. It is THEIR corner and they “work” it in shifts from 6AM to about 7:30PM every week day and 9AM to 4PM Saturday and Sundays.

Each one of them have an iPhone and they seldom sit during their shift but rather are active walking the line of cars that are waiting at the stoplight. They are friendly and polite and on task. And from Tubularsock’s vantage point VERY successful.

But the point is THEY ARE AT WORK! A job that is not any freer than a cubical except for the tan. They are following a tried and true business model and are successful and they have the “stuff” in clothing and iPhones to prove it.

And in truth, may not even be homeless but rather “self-employed”.

Now some people enjoy their work and some people don’t. But the bottom line is the less you define yourself as what you do and what you have and what you are programed to believe you need the greater real freedom you feel and THAT is the way out of slavery …………

IF THE ELECTION WERE HONEST!

What voters are left?

The Old woman demographic votes with their vaginas so that means Hillary.

The Young woman demographic votes with their old grandfather fixations so that means Bernie.

The Christian Fundamentalists demographic votes with anything with a Bible and a cross on it so that means Cruz.

The totally bland, inane, underachiever demographic votes have shifted from Jeb so that means Rubio.

And the totally frustrated and/or stupid and/or insane and/or lost and/or plain fucked-up demographic votes go Trump.

So what demographic votes are left for the only candidate that would provide you with a tofu chicken in every pot, an American made All Electric Mercedes-Benz in every garage with that garage attached to a 5000 square foot All Solar Ranch Style House with a hot tube, Olympic-size swimming pool with FREE Margaritas served at pool side?

Yes! A Tubularsock America would provide you and your family with this lifestyle but ONLY if you vote for TUBULARSOCK FOR PRESIDENT 2016.

IT REALLY IS UP TO YOU!

Now sure people always ask Tubularsock, “Just where would Tubularsock get this money to create this life style for ALL AMERICANS?”

It really is very simple.

Tubularsock would just stop blowing people up in the rest of the world and spend that money on AMERICA.

Without blowing people up, over time people would look at America and decide they too want this lifestyle and just start to copy it in their own countries. You don’t have to force people to do something if they want to do it!

Remember: “money” is made up and its value is just an agreement so lets all AGREE that it is worth what we want it to be worth for our needs and if we all agree then it is worth what we want.

So VOTE for a TUBULARSOCK AMERICA 2016 and be saved! Amen.

Tubularsock
