TUBULARSOCK SEES CLEARLY ……..

Tubularsock was sitting around his Top-floor corner office in Tubularsock’s Underground Bunker overlooking Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA (see BUNKER TOUR) pondering ….. What has made the French so stupid NOW?

No, Tubularsock isn’t going as far as “Freedom-Fries” like the brain dead Bush Administration Congress. French Fries are still tops on Tubularsock’s culinary menu. Well, EXCEPT for the ones served with the prix fixe McDonald’s menu on the Champ-Élysées ! Sometimes American Exceptionalism doesn’t translate!

Tubularsock has always loved his visits to France and found the French people delightful. Even years ago when so many felt that the French had a shitty attitude toward foreign tourists. Tubularsock, speaks no French except, “Ne touchez pas le chien, il mord !” ( Don’t touch the dog, he bites!)

And the only reason Tubularsock learned that phrase was, well Tubularsock’s Yorkie, Gizmo, would bite people if they tried to pet him …… and even with Tubularsock’s fluent-limited-French, four Frenchmen and two French women got themselves bitten by Gizmo.

The great thing was none of them blamed Gizmo or Tubularsock but apologized for not following the warning. And took full responsibility for their action. Unlike Americans who would have blamed the dog’s owner and attempted to sue.

So Tubularsock has been taken surprised by this French reaction to, of all things, the Burkini! What’s with that?

Manuel Valls, the French Prime Minister has stated that the New York Times has painted an “unacceptable” picture of France with a recent article about discrimination against Muslim women.

France previously banned the headscarf from all state schools in 2004 and former President Nicolas Sarkozy banned the niqab – or a full faced veil – from all public places in 2011.

And now, the Burkini!

The reason, “. . . the swimwear still poses a risk to public order.”

So, armed French police officers are shown in photos forcing women to remove their burkinis on beaches. And the humor of all that is not missed on Tubularsock because topless sunbathing on beaches is allowed just not clothed sunbathing! SO FRENCH!

Now all of these rules, according to Prime Minister Valls, have been created so that women don’t have to “. . . live under the yoke of a chauvinist order. The female body is neither pure nor impure; it is the female body. It does not need to be hidden to protect against some kind of temptation.”
But it’s the French government’s chauvinist order that is well, ahh, chauvinist as well!

And of course, it is all in the eye of the beholder. The 1905 French constitution guarantees the freedom of religion and freedom to exercise it. However the original text MADE NO REFERENCE TO CLOTHING.

And if Tubularsock recalls, neither does the U.S. Constitution.

tube-burkinis

Tubularsock wonders if the wearing a kippah (skullcap) is outlawed in public in France. Does anyone know? Should be, Tubularsock assumes, because of the “. . . posed risk to public order”.

Traditionally, Jewish men and boys wear the kippah at all times, a symbol of their awareness of, and submission to, a “higher” entity.

Another chauvinist position handed down from on high!

But in truth, this is all too funny to Tubularsock. Somehow having women more nude rather than less just seems to be at the heart of the matter chauvinist but maybe it’s just Tubularsock.

Tubularsock has always hated “dress codes”! Public Order be damned!

I MEANT WHAT I SAID, OR NOT!

Oh sure, suggestions and innuendoes from an idiot are normal.

Especially when that idiot is Donald Trump. It would have been a lot more clear if Donnie had just said

“shoot the bitch” but even an idiot knows a threat against a President or a Presidential hopeful is AGAINST THE LAW.

So here we are again. Lets all talk ad nauseam about what Donnie meant and didn’t mean. Isn’t that what all diversions in politics are about. Not about issues but about innuendoes! Policies are boring but innuendoes are ripe for “reality TV”!

Now when Killary laughed saying about the assassination of Gaddafi in Libya “we came, we saw, he died” it was all good fun.

Or when “WE” Americans (YES, IN OUR NAME) blows up a wedding party in Afghanistan we call it collateral-damage. Oh well, shit happens.

But an idiot’s flamboyant speech …….. NOW THAT IS SERIOUS!

Tube 2nd Amendment

And as Ron Fournier said in his article in The Atlantic, “. . . it almost doesn’t matter what Trump meant to say, because of the truth in this maxim about leadership: What you say isn’t nearly as important as what people hear you say.

So when Killary said in her 2008 campaign against Obummer in response to the question of why she didn’t drop out of the race because of her low odds of winning the nomination she responded with, “We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.” (in 1968)

“Her advisers quickly explained that Clinton merely intended to note that this was not the first primary campaign to stretch into the summer, not to suggest that Obama might be assassinated.” (Anne Kornblut, Washington Post 5/24/08)

BUT …. “What you say isn’t nearly as important as what people hear you say.” Oh yes, signs of a good leader.

ALL FOR ONE!

Ok. Raise your hand if you already realize that the voting machine that can’t produce a paper trail to be checked is a voting machine that is ripe with the possibility of ILLEGAL VOTE MANIPULATION.

Ok. Are you by yourself right now? Do you feel just a little foolish with your hand up?

Don’t be concerned. BE CONCERNED if you didn’t raise your hand!

EVERYONE has heard by now, but may not have paid attention, that VOTING FRAUD is as common as sliced bread and yet nothing is ever done. At every election cycle there is a flurry of mained-stream-media reporting and an orchestrated outcry of dismay from political-types only to be forgotten until the next voting cycle. Much like election finance reform.

EVERYONE knows that it is “child’s play” to manipulate an election by just using a screwdriver! Ironic isn’t it …….. being screwed by a screwdriver. That is down right screwy!

Yet, nothing is ever done about it ……… just what’s going on?

When voting machines are brought from the warehouse where they are stored between elections and placed in the polling stations there is ample time to “adjust” them to perform anyway one would like.

Polling places are seldom set up with security to watch over the voting machines after being placed in the polling station. Or even in the warehouse where they are stored for that matter.

And a knowledgeable “hacker” can even perform their adjustment while technically in the voting booth while “voting”.

So an election can be rigged without much effort.

Yet, nothing is ever done about it ……… just what’s going on?

Now it is a known FACT that the most secure voting and counting system of all is hand-marked paper ballots, publicly counted by hand at each precinct on election night before ballots are moved anywhere. And yet this is just not done.

So if you had a problem and you had a solution to the problem but you picked THE PROBLEM as your solution ……… just what would an intelligent person conclude?

  1. Voting machines have a mechanical preference?
  2.  Tampering is a skill set that provides employment?
  3. Who wins really doesn’t much matter, it’s all one party.
  4. Elections will be over soon and we can go back to regular TV.

Oh, don’t bother with your answer. Tubularsock has picked it for you.
No really. You’re used to it.

SO THAT’S WHAT’S GOIN’ DOWN?

Killing PEOPLE has become redundant. It almost has come down to the fact that if you haven’t been killed you really don’t fit into the society. Somehow you are a misfit because you haven’t been slaughtered by some “loan-wolf-professed-terrorist” that is of a browned skin persuasion. Or even by a broken-home-child with an AK-47 that was treated badly by bullies that is of a white skin persuasion.

Of course not that skin color has anything to do with it but white skin just makes you act like a “non-terrorist”. By current definition.

Well, that is only the appearance that is given by the maimed-streamed-media. It is what sells papers, gains viewers or collect ears for radio talk shows. All in the name of being informed with the regular message that TIDE™ makes your clothes WHITER and so does CLORAX™!

So when the tragedy in Nice, France ended up killing 84 or so men, women and children at the Bastille Day celebration the Western Press went bat-shit over EVERY horrifying detail. Background stories on the victims, interviews with the people at the event and a complete step by step description of the perpetrator.

The New York Times, LATimes, Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal all had major front page detailed coverage of the Nice tragedy. And there is no denying the fact that it was worthy of attention and discussion and an outpouring of grief. After all they were innocents being targeted.

BUT just five days later on July 19th a U.S. coalition airstrike in Syria killed more than 60 civilians according to The Telegraph (7/19/16) and possibility up to 100 according to The Intercept (7/19/16).

Tube Syria

But in this case the U.S. coalition airstrike which were reported as “an accident” was denied by the Pentagon saying they were investigating the incident.

“We are aware of reports alleging civilian casualties in the area,” U.S. Marine Maj. Adrian J.T. Rankine-Galloway, a Pentagon spokesperson, said . . . “If the information supporting the allegation is determined to be credible, we will then determine the next appropriate step,” the spokesperson added. “We take all measures during the targeting process to avoid or minimize civilian casualties or collateral damage and to comply with the principles of the Law of Armed Conflict.” The Intercept (7/19/16)

And we can all be assured what “. . . we will then determine the next appropriate step . . .” means. Usually, classify it Top Secret to protect National Security!

The story of these innocent civilians were not headline news in The New York Times or The LA Times and were hardly mentioned. While The Wall Street Journal and Washington Post only gave a short front page intro then moving the story details back to A-16 and A-15 respectively. In truth, just burying the story as best they could. Adam Johnson, The 4th Media (7/22/16)

Now Syria IS a war zone and therefore civilians being killed are just expected so no need to cover “these people”, know what Tubularsock means? And hell, is it even news anyway?

BUT so is Nice! NICE IS A WAR ZONE TOO! If you follow the logic of George War Bush and Obomber. The War on Terror is a World-Wide-War where the United States can bomb, drone, kill, detain, torture, kidnap, perform signature strikes, and assassinate in order to preserve LAW AND ORDER and protect the interests of the United States!

Just how dare some terrorist interloper take the lead from the killing machine that is America! Where in the hell does one of those “tanned-skinned” Tunisian’s get off killing innocent people!

THAT IS THE JOB OF THE UNITED STATES! Fucking uppity Tunisian!

COP COLLATERAL DAMAGE

Why is Tubularsock not surprised? It was just a matter of time. And Tubularsock only can see a silver lining in this COPS DEAD DALLAS AFFAIR.

It is part of the Bring The War Home Program and once again it is working.

Somehow my heart doesn’t really go out to the dead cops and their families. Somehow it seems like justice served. And in Dallas, Texas! Could it get more perfect than that?

Now Tubularsock knows others response to Tubularsock’s line of reasoning but look at it.

Really, let’s just call it collateral damage. Isn’t that how we Americans write off all those dead people in other countries that Obama and the boys kill everyday?

Why even get worked up over a few dead cops?

The cops have been slaughtering black people without ANY responsibility for their actions. They have just been murdering them in plain site in front of video cameras and witnesses and the JUSTICE system looks at the videos and takes down the “facts” from the witnesses and proclaims that THE KILLING OF BLACK PEOPLE WAS DONE IN THE LINE OF DUTY. And then that cop is put back on the street to “protect and serve”.

This is done over and over and over throughout the nation to the point that it is clear that if one is not held accountable for their actions then there is no justice.

A large number of cops are ex-military, who when they come home from killing Iraqis and Afghans have a pretty limited range of job skills and so they go into police work.

The problem here is that military and police training are really different but similar. And the intention of the job is totally different. But the infusion of military style equipment has blurred the lines even more. It is clear that that reality hasn’t translated well into domestic policing. So you get cops thinking that they are on patrol in Baghdad rather than Detroit and there lies just one of the problems.

Now we have a Black Man with military training taking “justice” into his own hands and doing what any red blooded American would do by just copying the same outline of “justice” that the police have been handing out.

Sure. It looks different but both are just different sides of the same coin.

JOHNSON

If Micah Johnson had done what he had done in Kabul, Afghanistan rather than in Dallas, Texas he would have gotten a medal! Which may be worth considering when we train and send soldiers off to “selectively” kill people. The “blowback” can be the unintended consequence.

So the same money spent training ex-military cops and ex-military civilians come from the same source. The United States Government!

WE HAVE CREATED A MONSTER OF OUR OWN MAKING.

But the head of the monster comes from a different place.

A major mind-set of OUR MONSTER was created with, of course 9/11. The entire defense department, the entire security apparatus, the entire intelligence bureaucracy did not protect the country from attack yet NO ONE was removed from duty for a complete failure of and dereliction of that duty. Rather many were promoted and some even given medals for a job well done!

Thereby setting the tone from a “leadership” role that people are not responsible for their actions.

tube

 

And then Obama enters and took the position with his “Look Forward and not Back” that SOME PEOPLE were NOT RESPONSIBLE for their illegal actions as in torture, pre-emptive strikes on countries that never attacked us, rendition, and mass murder.

Thereby setting the tone from a “leadership” role that people are not responsible for their actions.

Then as the Banksters stole billions of dollars from the system, Bush and Obama held NO ONE responsible for their actions. In fact, they gave the thieves more money thereby establishing from the “leadership” role that it is alright to swindle, rob and steal.

We have the MIND-SET of the Monster created from the point of view that NO ONE is responsible for their actions and then the Monster was set loose.

The result is simple:

NO ONE is responsible for their actions has become the principle and the reality of the society we call America!

LEADERSHIP IS SETTING BY EXAMPLE …………

However Bush and Obama set by example the WRONG lessons!

And the new crop of “leaders” are simply pathetic! (which may be a step up)

NSA Heading

 

Now this is really difficult to believe, well ok, not really. Only in a sane world would you find this difficult to believe but Tubularsock likes the “ring” of THIS IS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE.

A Federal Judge has ordered AN IMMEDIATE halt (11/9/15) to the NSA’s phone records collection program ruling that the program VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION. And in his new ruling Judge Richard Leon contends that the government’s Constitutional violation is so egregious that it could not be allowed to stand another day.

Now that isn’t the difficult to believe part. After all the 4th Amendment does say:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

As a reasonable person can read, this isn’t rocket science!

And this “victory” for your Constitutional Rights isn’t all that significant due to the fact that the NSA’s collection program is already set to end on November 29.

So what is so difficult to believe?

Well, this is not the first time that Judge Leon ruled that the collections program is unconstitutional. He ruled the same thing previously in 2013 and issued an injunction to halt the collection program.

But then he also issued a stay on that injunction, pending an appellate review.

Tube NSA Plug

It took until November 2014 for arguments to proceed in the appellate court, and it took that court until August of 2015 to issue its opinion—an opinion that came after lawmakers had already passed the bill to halt the program.

The appellate court decision was to reverse the lower court ruling that said the program likely violates the Constitution’s ban on unreasonable searches. (8/29/15)

The appeals court sent the case back for Judge Leon to determine what further details about the program the government must provide.

But THAT isn’t what is so difficult to believe.

What is so difficult to believe is that Judge Leon was surprised that the process took so long to provide a decision on the case. THIS SURPRISES A FEDERAL JUDGE?

Now That Is Difficult To Believe!

Lets look at Syria. But don’t Russia too fast you might trip.

Now Tubularsock wants to get to the bottom line quickly so you can unload all that anti-Russian neocon bull shit that is oozing out of the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and all of the rest of the fucked up stenographer-maimed-streamed-press.

From what is being pushed the CIA’s payroll to the “reporters-of-record” must be staggering!

Oh. And the fucking Congress too. What we have there is the classic Abbott and Castello antics of the dumb leading the stupid. The only difference is that Abbott and Castello made sense!

ISIS (aka … Al Qaeda in Iraq … AQI) is a terrorist organization that is crazier than bat shit and gives Muhammad a bad name! They are by far the largest group and the most effective fighters on the terrorists side of the coin.

Al Nusra is an Al Qaeda “affiliated” group that is the terrorist arm of the “Free Syrian Army”. Along with  Ahrar al-Sham and several small groups of fighters aligning with the “Free Syrian Army”. They are the “moderate-terrorists” supported by the CIA directly on the other side of the terrorist coin.

An interesting side note: The Free Syrian Army really doesn’t seem to exist. It has become “. . . a mosaic of fractions and is now largely ineffectual” according Irish journalist Patrick Cockburn.

And not only doesn’t “The Free Syrian Army” exist but the UN Security Council in a May 2012 decision “blacklisted Syria’s al-Nusra Front as an alias of al-Qaeda in Iraq”, namely the ISIL. So the two sides of the terrorist coin is only one side … TERRORISTS!

There is no such thing as a “moderate-terrorist”, PERIOD!

But the Russians are being criticized now for targeting this very group!

Tube:Vlad phone

The issue is that Russia is fighting terrorism ……… a good thing, yes?

But the United States are backing, training, funding, and supplying terrorists …. a bad thing, yes?

And the United States is also supporting ISIL (ISIS) by the fact that it was the United States’ CIA that created them and still supply them indirectly. Which is a bad thing, yes?

Now how is it that Russia is the bad guy?

Shall we continue pealing this onion? Any tears yet?

Why is it that the United States is aiding and abetting terrorists? Don’t we have laws on the books against doing that?

Well yes we do and in a sane world Obummer and his merry-men would all turn themselves into the nearest police station for breaking terrorist laws.

Tubularsock knows it isn’t a sane world so this won’t happen but it was just a fun side thought.

The United States is actually the greatest terrorist threat in the world today. We have supported terrorism for years. We even have a school where we teach terrorism.

It was called the U.S. Army School of the Americas but now it is called:

WESTERN HEMISPHERE INSTITUTE FOR SECURITY COOPERATION.

Or you can just call it for what it promotes:

THE TOTURE SCHOOL

THE SCHOOL OF ASSASSINS

THE SCHOOL OF COUPS

The United States also supports Saudi Arabia and supplies them with military supplies in great number which have been then passed on the ISIS. (Gosh, how’d that happen?)

Tubularsock is sure you remember that Saudi Arabia also provided money and support to the “al Qaeda” terrorists that attacked us on 9/11. (Gosh, they’re a trusted ally. How’d that happen?)

And it was the U.S. CIA that funded and trained al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden himself. (Oh golly gee …… How did that happen?)

Bin-CIA

Coincidence?

Yes, coincidence. Stuff like this just happens all the time. And it works a lot better if it is PLANNED-COINCIDENCE!

You see 9/11 wasn’t carried out by Russia because Russia is our “enemy”. See THAT would be too obvious …. get it?

No, 9/11 was carried out by Saudi Arabia an ally, see how it works now?

PART 2

And Saudi Arabia had assistance and they were “allies” as well. Heart warming isn’t it.

EVERY THING YOU THINK IS WRONG!

Oh that onion is still rather large ……. peel more?

Syria has been on the “overthrow” list of the United States for decades but even with that on the agenda the CIA used Syria between 2001-2003 to locate one of their torture prisons where those “suspects” were brought under “extraordinary rendition” to be ahhh, “interrogated”. Oh Tubularsock forgot, those were ENHANCED interrogations, got to have the correct protocol.

WATERBOARDING

No the Russians, who are no sweethearts themselves were NOT involved.

Just good old Syrians and Americans conducting the TORTURE. And Syrian officials supplied U.S. officials with all information extracted from “detainees”.

According to a 2013 report by the Open Society Foundation, Syria was one of the “most common destinations for rendered suspects” under the program.

Do you find it kind of odd that the U.S. could get along with Syria when they were helping us torture but we can’t get along with them now?

It was said by former CIA agent Robert Baer in his description of the policy to the New Statesman: “If you want them to be tortured, you send them to Syria. If you want someone to disappear – never to see them again – you send them to Egypt”.(2011)

And Egypt is our ally too!

Now how is it that Russia is the bad guy?

Wow, that onion sure isn’t going down very fast. Peel, peel …….

Now Tubularsock knows you have a life so Tubularsock might just have to eat the onion with a beer to wash it down to stop this wrenched story of America the beautiful.

But just not yet ………..

Obummer stood in front of the United Nations and gave one of his most delusional speeches he has given to date. No really, the chamber of diplomats were dumbfounded!

EVERYTHING in that speech was projection. As he condemned others and their “wrong doings” he was describing exactly what the United States has been doing to the rest of the world! Really. Truly delusional.

Oh god! Tubularsock is not even going to get into the disingenuous shit that oozed from his lips you can provide your own barf bag and listen to it yourself. Tubularsock will only point out just ONE historical fact to you and that will suffice.

Assad DID NOT gas his own people …….. NEVER HAPPENED!

The rocket that did gas people was a rocket that came from the “moderate terrorists” that WE supported with some indication that Turkey was involved. And Turkey is OUR ally!

Assad DID NOT DO IT ……….. WE DID!

This was investigated by the U.N. and reported to the world ……

The real question is why did Obummer lie that directly?

Reminds Tubularsock of the lies that Colin Powell spewed into the U.N. chambers about Saddam Hussein’s WMD’s.

A little déjà vu’-ish, don’t you think?

Both Black American Men

Same Middle East

Both Justifying War

Both lying

At the U.N.

Oh look, the onion is getting to its core center, peel, peel, peel.

The backbone of this entire mess was created by the Defense Planning Guidance for the 1994–99 fiscal years (dated February 18, 1992). The unofficial name for this document is THE WOLFOWITZ DOCTRINE named after Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Paul Wolfowitz. But don’t forget his deputy Scooter Libby. 

You remember them right ….. ahhhhh far right!

Paul was a major architect of Bush’s Iraq War and its most hawkish advocate.

And Paul went on to the World Bank and became all mixed up in a sex scandal with Shaha Riza losing his World Bank job over the entire sorted mess.

And Scooter became Cheney’s lap-dog and exposed Valerie Plame as a CIA operative and thus became a traitor to the United States but didn’t get prison time because Little Bush commuted Libby’s prison sentence.

As you can see Paul and Scooter have little in the way of integrity but even with this scum level persona the Wolfowitz Doctrine has been followed and used to direct U.S. foreign policy to the determinant of our country!

His Doctrine pushed for:

1. U.S. Primacy which establishes the U.S’s leadership role (leadership in this context meant taking over control of the world) within the new world order.

2. Unilateralism which downplays the value of international coalitions having the U.S. direct all action.

3. Pre-emptive intervention, the U.S’s right to intervene when and where it believed necessary.

4. And to STOP the possible threat posed by a resurgent Russia.

THIS IS THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM RIGHT HERE!

And until the United States breaks with this insanity we will be in perpetual wars.

As Obummers foreign advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski says: “It Is Infinitely Easier to Kill a Million People than it is to Control Them . . .”

And that means YOU folks ………….. Do you think a mind like THAT has a conscience?
