POPPY MADNESS?

Since 2002 the United States has spent $8.6 billion just for the “war” against Poppies in Afghanistan and this year (2017) poppy production is UP, UP, UP! Another great job accomplished by good ol’ America!

 

 

And the stated reason is that the Taliban, which banned poppy cultivation when it ruled Afghanistan, (you know BEFORE we attacked them and started this ENDLESS war) is now involved in running its own factories, refining the lucrative crop into morphine and heroin for exporting abroad. Mostly to Europe and Canada.

Most American heroin comes from those bad-hombres’ in Mexico!

And much like in Vietnam, the CIA is up to their chinny-chin-chins in running drugs as usual. Tubularsock might as well mention the big banks that launder the money too, so as not to leave anyone out.

Ok, just to be complete the picture, many members within the entire “democratic” Afghan government find a way to get a cut as well. Isn’t that what democracy is all about?

You see it is a Narco-state after all!

 

Afghan farmers are paid about $163 for a kilo (a little over 2 pounds) of the black sap from raw opium. Once refined the price is about $3500. But by the time it is shipped to Europe it wholesales for $45,000!

According to the United Nations in 2016, Afghanistan, which produces 80 percent of the world’s opium, made around 4,800 tonnes of the drug bringing in revenues of three billion dollars.

 

NOW DO NOT WORRY!

The U.S. has worked diligently to coerce local poppy farmers to shift their crop from poppy cultivation to “legal” alternatives such as wheat, barley, mustard and melons.

The result was that those “legal” crops are more difficult and expensive to successfully cultivate and yield much less at market than did their previous illicit poppy plants.

As one farmer put it, “If we plant two bags of wheat, then we’ll have just enough money to buy the seeds to plant another two bags of wheat. […] We’re going backwards. Of course we’re angry at the government.” (Common Sense For Drug Policy 9/6/17)

Of course, as would be predicted, those areas that were driven from poppy production in turn are the same areas where terrorism activity increased.

Surprised? Push people to the wall and you get a response.

All in all, the U.S., lost the Vietnam War, and has LOST the war in Afghanistan. And yet Orange Tweet Trump just like Step-en-fetch-it Obummer before him has entered deeper into the quagmire.

And all that leads to this future conversation: “Mommy why did daddy die in the war? Oh honey, like I’ve told you before, to protect the Opium Trade.”

So now you understand why the poppy is used as a symbol on “Memorial Day”!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HOW TO SPEAK FOREIGN

Just how many Russians are YOU actually friends with? Syrians, Pakistanis, Germans, Iranians, Cubans?

EVEN Ohioans?

Not many, if you are an American, Tubularsock would guess. But so many people have an opinion about “Others”.

According to what “news” reports one reads, how much better or less of an understanding do you really have regarding people you have never met?

Same goes for religious groups, Jews, Muslim, Christian, Buddhists, Taoists. What do you really know about any of these religious groups? Really!

Most people don’t KNOW much about even their “own” religion let alone about someone else’s.

In most all these cases we all have “judgments” about other people and religions but we don’t really know much at all about them in truth.

Why is that?

Doesn’t that seem strange to you?

Our nation will go off and KILL these people but we don’t even know them.

What is that all about?

Let’s say you are walking down a street and you see an Ohioan walking toward you.
How do you prepare yourself for the approaching encounter?

Do you pretend you don’t see them and pass on by. Most likely the best idea.

But after reading this from Tubularsock you may “reach out” and engage in a conversation.

Well a sure bet is something like this: Hi, so the Ohio state reptile is the black racer.

Oh sure, you could continue with the added information that the state approved the choice in 1995 but that may be a little too much.

You know, you might look like you are trying too hard.

Be careful of your wallet. Perhaps reaching into your pocket and just hold it as a precaution.

This tactic is well advised while dealing with Ukrainians as well.

You’d perhaps want to continue your conversation with references to the Aesculus glabre

to appear more intimate using a reference to your knowledge of their nickname

or you may just leave that for another day and just hurry on your way.

So you see, it is good to know things about “foreign cultures” so as not to be so judgmental.

Well, that is all the time we have today with Tubularsock’s continuing series:

HOW TO SPEAK FOREIGN.

easy solutions and convenient scapegoats

©2017 Dan Stevenson III

easy solutions and convenient scapegoats
is all that is needed to keep us afloat
it’s pretty darn easy to keep people so scared
to keep them from thinking about where they are led
you might think its korea or maybe it’s russia
the deception just keeps you under some presh’a
well it could be those blacks or even caucasians
they both have what it takes to be all that brazen
it’s not that surprising we’ve got nazis abound
hell, all of those red commies have nearly left town
there’s got to be some kind of big scary presence
to keep you from honing your personal essence
you think you’ve got freedom, that you think on your own
as you watch that TV and text on your phone
the propaganda is so deep you keep plowing through it
you think it is real when you lose your mind to it
fooling yourself is just part of the process
we all stand around and admire the colossus
be it the trump, the obama, or even that bush
who promised panacea if we elected them first
pull their statues down and call in the hearse
they all have to go, they’re something perverse
 the crap they continue shows you the score
they pretty much all are just puppets and whores
all adulation that their followers still give
never seems to relieve their selfish false fears
and all of the anger that makes you so mad
when the promises aren’t delivered like discarded fads
so let’s blame that mexican or that middle eastern jihad
for all of the troubles that we’ve never had
will we wake up and truly have a good look
or continue to stand around as our goose’s being cooked
the false flag operations that this country concocts
are in truth cannon fodder for all the war hawks
what you see and are told ain’t what is happening at all
it just a pharmaceutical high while we all take the fall!

 

 

Capitalism’s Contribution: looting, lying, and acting obscene

© 2017 Dan Stevenson III

the die is cast
the money on the table
some people may die
is it really that bad
just look at the profit
it’s ours ‘cuz we’re able

it’s only good business
it’s just what we do
if they’re in the way
what are we spoze to do
if we don’t take advantage
we’re all going to lose

it’s there for the taking
the law’s on our side
we made it that way
the game being played
it’s really their fault
if they don’t step aside

sure we’ll help their children
we’ll put them in camps
we’ll do what we can
you must understand
it’s best that you see
we have a smart stance

we’ve done this forever
our heritage, you know
it’s way too important
to just let it go
so call in security
to protect what is so

it is our right
our history complete
we don’t mind doing
what has to be done
until the next time
with a butt of a gun

the damage we do
to land, water, and air
is not of concern or
cause for despair
we donate most heavily
for orphan repair

the profit which is
the ultimate treasure
can be used to buy
all in good measure
the next exploitation
to protect this great nation

sure some have to die
for others to live
but really we’ve found
it’s just like it is
not one thing to worry
or even forgive

so stack up that money
and oxygen tanks
so we can survive
as others all die
‘cause we got the talent
when the earth’s out of balance

yet some keep on yelling
it’s too late to correct
but what do they know
with no portfolio
our investment appreciates
the longer we go

it’s called progress you sillies
you don’t even know that
if you don’t risk
you’re just scaredy-cats
so count yourselves in
all the way to the end

so come on no worries
for what we do know
is dow jones is up
we’ve got money to burn
at least just enough
to cover the earth’s very last turn!

 

TRUMP’S SHEETS ARE SHOWING

Damn, WHAT A TOAD! Tubularsock blames Alzheimer-Reagan for the total failures of Trump! Seriously!

It was Bat Shit Crazy Reagan who was responsible for putting the mentally deranged out in the streets and making mental illness a criminal offense rather than a medical issue.

The jails filled up with mental patients because Alzheimer-Reagan wanted to cut back on government assistance to the mentally ill to save money.

And all these years later it has all come home again. The bat-shit-crazy Trump retards put Orange Tweet into power and now we have the office of President filled with Shit-For-Brains.

Hence, a man that can not tell the difference between a Nazi and normal human being.

It is really disgusting to listen to those who are attempting to put lip stick on the Pig Called Trump but hey it doesn’t seem to be working. Some Americans are actually awakening to what is happening.

And when even Corporate CEO’s see standing for Trump may be just too costly to their bottom line are bailing out only tells you just how powerful social-media has become.

And Tubularsock figures that it may cause Macy’s not have their White Sheet Sale this year to avoid the connection between the Nazi, the KKK and Trump-AmeriKKKa!

The smarter move is to push tie-dyed sheets to be on the safe side.

MAY THE SHEETS HIT THE TRUMP FAN!

 

 

 

SCARAMUCCI THE DOUCHE, FLUSHED!

The humor train is still racing down the tracks in Tweet’s White House. Removing Anthony Scaramucci, the ultimate douche-bag, because of his erratic speech patterns such as using “cock blocking” as a government tactic was so shocking EVEN to the pussy grabbing Commander of Sleaze!

“The president certainly felt that Anthony’s comments were inappropriate for a person in that position,” stated Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary.

Hot damn, that is got to be one of the most hypocritical statements so far in this administration. How funny can it get.

The crime is Anthony out Trumped Trump! THAT gets you fucking fired, dude!

Melania Trump and Ivanka were “disgusted” and “offended” by Scaramucci’s expletive-laden interview with the New Yorker Magazine. You know, being both plastic filled women and used to pussy grabbing just finds cock blocking something they have to do every time Orange-Tweet comes near them!

Melania even has gone as far as not even wanting to hold the hand that touches that part of Orange Tweets body. Now that shows good judgement!

 

But there will be more, so stay tuned for ************** the downfall of John Kelly as he ****************

“ENDS THE WHITE HOUSE CHAOS” episode 13.

See the Commander of Chaos chained to his chair just out of reach of the “tweet-machine”. It is called RADICAL INTERVENTION!

Oh, has anyone noticed that the Pentagon is setting up to hit North Korea? Hell folks, it is literally a tweet away form coming to pass. But look over here, as Garfunkel and Oates sings,  “This Party Took a Turn for the Douche”!

 

JEFF SESSIONS THE DEVIL YOU SAY!

Well it looks like the “devil” is knocking on little-prick-jeff-sessions “back door” sort of speak. Tubularsock has always said that those overly pious, God-fearing Christians should NEVER bend over anywhere near Trump!

Well little jeffy did bend over a few times and still would “butt” he may be packing his bags soon.

However, Tubularsock does give credit to little jeffy for recusing himself from the on going Russian investigation as he should have done and did EVEN at the expense of Orange-Tweet’s wrath. Legally as well as ethically it was required so Sessions’ gets a gold star for that!

Yet he is still a little-stale-racist-white-cracker none the less and Tubularsock will be happy to see him go.

But Tubularsock will be glad to bring  jeffy over to the nearest Black Christian LGBT pot smoking party and introduce him to new friends. Hey, Tubularsock doesn’t hold a grudge ……………………….

You know little jeffy will be so much happier taking his dominatrix wife and himself back to Alabama and leave Trump’s cyberbullying. Oh sure he’ll miss it but maybe he’ll just be better off in his home territory and away from the evils of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Hell, Orange-Tweet plays hard ball!

 

 

IS TRUMP CRAZY?

Let’s put it this way, the president, although “not exactly clinically deranged,” is “not altogether stable.”

“Frighteningly he’s that far out of touch with himself. He constantly rationalizes his secret passive-aggressive attacks driven by deep unconscious fears of being attacked himself.”

We should all be alarmed “. . . that sitting in the Oval Office in the White House is “a near-madman at the controls of a nuclear bomb appearing rational on the surface.”

These observation were made by Dr. Andrew G. Hodges, a board-certified psychiatrist in private practice.

And many have agreed about the dangers presented by a top psychiatrist about the President’s, “Destructive rage beyond belief”!

How much more do the American people need to know about the President? ARE YOU SCARED YET?

The President, “. . . has a Narcissistic Personality Disorder. What this means, mostly, is that he has rather desperate insecurities about himself, and compensates by constructing a grandiose self-image. Most of his relationships are either mirroring relationships–people who flatter him and reinforce his grandiosity -or idealized self-objects–people that he himself thinks a lot of, and hence feels flattered by his association” according to Dr. Paul Minot giving the psychiatrist’s point of view.

“The most disturbing aspect about narcissists, however, is their pathological inability to empathize with others, with the exception of those who either mirror them, or whom they idealize”, Dr. Minot continued.

So you can see that the President has issues as many President’s have had in the past.

Even “ . . . John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon—surreptitiously took daily psychiatric medications such as Valium and other anxiety treatments while occupying the Oval Office. Another—Lyndon B. Johnson—was so emotionally erratic that his top aides consulted psychiatrists and confronted the first lady about his behavior.” (Politico Magazine 1/4/17)

So as much as Donald Trump might be crazy as hell he has fallen in with a long line of bat-shit-crazy dudes. In Tubularsock’s view you have to be “crazy” even to want the job and then once you get it that just solidifies the madness!

You see, mental illness and asylums go together very well. And mental illness and the White House goes together very well because the White House IS an asylum. That is why there are guards around it.

TO KEEP THEM IN. A little known secret that Tubularsock is passing on to you.

And now for the big surprise. As you know, Tubularsock doesn’t have a very high opinion of Orange-Tweet and Tubularsock believes that Orange-Tweet IS fucking nuts BUT ……….

The two opening divided statements above are descriptions by psychiatrists about Obummer and Baby Shrub respectively.

So what’s new?

 

 

 

 

OUTSOURCED ARMY

THEY HAVE TO BE KIDDING!

Orange Tweet is really an inspiration for the advancement of stupidity. No not because of his tweet attention-span, nor his small limp hands and bigly butt. No those are just side line embarrassing.

When President Orange Tweet says he wants to make America Great Again he doesn’t mean 1940’s or 1950’s GREAT! No he means British Empire Great like 17 and 18 hundreds GREAT! Viceroy Great. And who says you can’t go backward!

And you all know how the “free market system” works right? You know competition brings the price down, right? And because of that, government needs to “privatize” many of its agencies because the private sector can do it cheaper than the government can do it.

Take for example, WAR. If the United States privatizes its military then what money we can all save ……… such a deal.

Now this isn’t a Trump idea. He doesn’t have the ability to think let alone creatively. No this goes way back as far as war itself. Some people fight and some people supply the fighters. And just for fun, stop and guess who gets rich and who gets dead.

And the capitalistic system has improved upon this basic idea a thousand fold by adding the investing class to the mix. Now there are those who fight the war, those who supply the fighters, AND those who INVEST in the suppliers who supply the fighter who fight the war. See, that is called capitalism because the investing class are even further away from being dead from war but profit the most from it. Clever yes?

Now check this out. The military-industrial-complex has come up with this really fun idea and that is to privatize armies so the U.S. Government can save money.

We have already been doing this over there is that hostile Middle East and in Africa as well. But this savings is really a deal!

Funny that. Presently a “private soldier” (once called a mercenary) makes in salary about three times more than an American soldier. So the salary cost of the mercenary army would be THREE TIME HIGHER than it is now.

Would you care to venture a guess how this cost alone is cheaper?

And then you have the “standard” corporate operational costs for maintaining a mercenary army with the small problem of loyalty to MONEY rather than any insane patriotic reasoning so as to have the added burden of losing your “army” to the highest bidder.

Damn tricky, eh?

Now the U.S. has already had this continuous problem in the mercenary terrorists we have hired, trained and supplied just to have them jump sides and end up fighting us rather than doing as we paid them to do. Some of this has been based on deceit and some of this is due to a better deal going down.

When money is the bases of the commitment the playing field changes and your terrorists buddy today is your terrorist enemy tomorrow based on a couple of bucks.

 

And just who is pushing this insane idea?

Well the Bowery Boys, Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner, formally known as the Dead End Kids for you movie buffs.

Erik Prince the founder of the murdering thugs Blackwater Worldwide and Stephen Feinberg, a billionaire financier who owns the giant military contractor DynCorp International and Tubularsock believes sucks out babies brains for lunch (warning: this latter thought may be an alterNUT fact, be advised!) have offered up their proposals at Bannon’s and Kushner’s request.

Wow, Tubularsock just wonders with these four minds coming together, “What Could Possibly Go Wrong?”

Now Tubularsock, in case you haven’t noticed, wants to remind you that after 16 years WE ARE STILL MAKING WAR ON AFGHANISTAN.

You remember Afghanistan, right? The country right after 9/11 we started a war with.
And just to remind you how we did that it went down like this:

Bush and the boys and the bitch told the Taliban that they would have to hand over Osama bin Laden to the U.S. for the 9/11 crime or we would BOMB THEM!

The Taliban agreed to hand over Osama bin Laden to the U.S. for the 9/11 crime if and when the United States provided PROOF that Osama bin Laden was guilty of this crime. You remember that silly notion, a man is innocent until PROVEN guilty don’t you?

That is a fundamental legal principle of the United States not Afghanistan!

Well, the United States didn’t have any proof that he was directly involved.  He said he wasn’t involved in 9/11 directly. And to this day there has been no real proof that he was directly involved EXCEPT for the forged CIA tape prominently promoted on YouTube! But it was well known that bin Laden was a CIA asset so Tubularsock figures that it depends on which side of the fence he was working at any given time.

So we bomb them! And then we bomb them. And then we bomb them ……………  And even the old cliche that we were going to bomb them back into the Stone Age was used by some but they hadn’t left the Stone Age so they didn’t seem to noticed except all their wedding parties we annihilated. Oh, and their women and children were slaughtered but hey, THAT’S WAR don’t ya know!

Just reminds one of the callousness of war. Those who were murdered on 9/11 are precious souls but those we blow apart in Afghanistan are just collateral damage and how dare they run under our bombs! They act like they live there!

So now, 16 years of quagmire and Trump is thinking to “fix” Afghanistan by spending billions and billions of more dollars for a cheap fix: MERCENARY ARMIES provided by private enterprise corporations.

And they are even thinking of picking an American Viceroy who would directly report to Trump and run the Afghanistan mission with an outsourced army and a mission of “do whatever it takes to pacify Afghanistan”!

From Tubularsock’s point of view it is refreshing to have the lunatic fringe right out there in the open for a change unlike Killary’s style or Obomba’s style of putting up the false-bull-shit-front but still fucking you up the ass! But which of these elite assholes are more dangerous is a toss up!

A TUBULARSOCK SOBER 4TH THOUGHT

And in the distant atomic cloud cover one can just start to hear our new Orange Tweet President tweeting:

“LET THEM EAT CAKE!”

And Tubularsock assumes he is speaking of the most “bigly” piece of chocolate cake that is so awesome that it will make ameriKKKa  great again!
