government advertising

GOVERNMENT ADVERTISING
Someone mentioned that after the government took over the car companies there would be little black boxes installed so we would be tracked. Not paranoid at all, considering all the other ways Big Bitch is monitoring our movements. Magnetic strips in currency ( easily defeated by carrying several hundred one dollar bills around with you and paying for everything that way ), compulsory sales of private firearms through licenced dealers, new drivers licences, federal control over raising livestock and I'm sure quite a few others. A day or two after that was mentioned, I saw on www.cryptogon.com an article on attempted car monitoring in Europe. Not that they care, most of them take public transportation so car ownership is more expensive and less widespread. And soon, we won't care either as gas gets over $5 a gallon and only Yuppie scum will be driving while the rest of us collect Food Stamps and stay at home. And since the Yuppie Scum Swine are already sucking at the government teet they could care less when all colors but red are eliminated from the flag and the FBI steps up its 3 am ninja raids on political dissidents and Alaska is turned into a penal colony and we start calling our leader Comrade Exalted Leader Obammy and FDR's birthday will be an occasion for military parades. And as long as the state run liquor stores sell vodka pretty cheap all will be well.

Well, cheap vodka AND free entertainment. Our masters understand all about bread and circuses. Food Stamps provide the frozen pizzas and Ho Ho's and television provides the free entertainment. And with the new switch to digital, we can be entertained with fifty percent more options. On any one night we can pick from American Idol, Survivor, America's Next Bolemic Superstar or any other reality TV. And as much as studios love reality TV because instead of paying real writers serious wages for shows that are one step above moronic they can stick a dull pencil up a monkey's ass and have him squat over a few pages of blank paper and churn out a reality show, all for the cost of a banana, still our handlers must realize they can't stupefy the entire population for too long on these cost saving types of shows. Most of those of us who were forced through high school graduation so the military or retail sector could have new and ever cheaper cannon fodder did pick up a thing or two after sitting around through four years of droning time punching state appointed baby sitters reciting propaganda are slightly more demanding in our free entertainment. Only pop culture laden animation will hold our interests long enough so we don't get up to force any blood up into our cranium through increased circulation.
*
So here is my thought. As government controls more and more companies, it will start holding the purse strings on more and more advertising. The television industry will never be allowed to flounder as Detroit is. Free entertainment has been used to push the consumerist society that generated the elites wealth and kept us all in debt forever, shacked by a pair of golden handcuffs to the work bench or cubicle. It was in the best interests of corporations to spend freely on advertising. Now, as the capitalistic system flounders over the new no growth/expensive oil/no credit system they are unable to advertise to consumers who pay their debt to the banks and have no money left over to consume trinkets. So government, through new control over more and more companies, will pick up on buying the advertising to keep Hollywood running. Government excels at force and control, they realize they need to keep the entertainment sector private to keep it productive and efficient. But they can keep the creative juices flowing just as easily through high pay incentives while at the same time funneling money towards those shows that tow the fascist line, that glorify police brutality and state control and politically correct attitudes. We are already seeing that to a large degree. Expect it to continue and expand as more money is from the government ( by the by, I'm using Hollywood for the whole entertainment industry, be in New York or California produced ).

The State of Minnesota is planning a system for tracking all vehicles registered in their state. They say they need to plan for the new generation of "alternative energy" vehicles that won't be purchasing gas and thus won't be paying fuel taxes to fix the roads. It will be based on a satellite "Qualcom" type system that most major trucking companies now use to track their drivers. Minnesotans will then pay a "mileage" tax.

wow, took me a minute to catch my breath after that one. That was a really great tirade on our future. I am really not looking forward to my bar code on my ass and black box in my car.

Ayn Rand, too, was a prophet, in her book Atlas Shrugged. 52 years later, her book reads like current events.

No TV since 1999, gave up cell phone & EZ Pass. I used to tease my kids when they were younger, asking them who is watching you when you're watching TV?

Today, they are 100% on board with prepping and are helping me expand the garden this spring.

Wow that was a bunch of words cluttered in an attempt to say nothing. I will admit you are the best at taking a one word idea and tuning it into a 1,000 word blog post.

Atlas Shrugged, 50 years to reality.

We are totally screwed, the Constitution is now Obama toilet paper. He flaunts how he wipes his ass with and laughs at us when he flush's. Heck we aren't even his fellow Americans but his fellow citizens, Meaning that if you can hear his voice he includes you. Illegals are now citizens to him.

Interesting concept. Good to know that at least TV isn't going anywhere.

Hi aNON 2:22.
Why won't you answer the phone? Are you dumping for the that bitchy little guy at the dinner? I bet you he won't be as consider and not put beardburn on your back.

Jim, I think you pretty much summed things up.

On a roll today Jim. Atlas isn't shrugging, he's having convulsions.

Jim,

You're so optimistic. :)

Seriously, though, it's good to see someone with views such as yours. 10 years ago, you would have been considered a fringe nutter by most people. With unabashed fascism unfolding before people's eyes, their mockery seems to have been dulled a bit. Refreshing.

The old sun has risen and set on a lot of messes we men have caused on the surface of this small earth. The coming mess may be the worst it's ever seen. The American empire is much, much bigger than the Roman empire. And the people who live under it are far more corrupt.

All the same signs are there: debasement of currency, refusal to have children, murder of children, effeminacy of manners, opulence, decadence, "free love," violent pastimes. Game over. Sadly, something tells me that this time, the barbarians are already within the walls.

egads! i'm not sure which is worse the randnoids or the obbs (obama butt boys).

no the factory bosses (that's the 'gods' that ayn rand was trying to replace the 'source' with..) are all gone, another failed god.

and so while obammy is dishing out the candy to the good old boys....

face it, your stuck fending for yourself, like every other day in your life... nope, no magic government regulations, no super crapitalists with photon powered pogo sticks are going to rescue you from your everyday banal life.

america sucked anyway. good riddance to greed and avarice.

"Of course, a wooden scooter can do only so much to stop criminal behavior, change social habits, promote human rights, advance literacy and liberate the women of Congo. But every wooden wheel does its little bit."

i'm not sure what the f--- this faggy yuppie scum was smoking... let's see, black folk in africa suffering a full century of western imperialism are hauling water for themeselves, and leave it to so poof college grad to turn it into an essay on women's lib and literacy. yes the very same yuppie shit that go to drum circles after a McDreks pitstop and show off their hand carved african drum made of african harwoods....

here's a different version of the article with the picture on-line, this one looks just like a child's scooter. the picture of the one in the local fagrag was a bit larger and had water containers strapped to it.

anyway, keep it mind in case you need it, believe me, humping water is a real drag...
