a trillion here...

A TRILLION HERE…


A trillion there, pretty soon we are talking real money. Three trillion worth of minerals over in Afghanistan isn’t spit, though. What are we going to do with it? Build a wall on the Mexican border with the unprocessed ore? That might slow down the flow of low cost workers and profitable drugs. It’s not like we are going to use it ourselves to build anything. That might require investments, which has long been passé. Unless the investment is a computer that manufactures free wealth through derivatives. The recent news that three trillion worth of rare minerals was found in Afghanistan does not suddenly demonstrate why we were there all along. Nor does it explain why we will be staying. It is simply whitewash, although for the life of me I can’t understand what took them so long. They were falling over themselves to explain the Iraqi invasion. Oh, look, weapons of mass destruction, no, no, we are introducing democracy to the people, no, wait, it’s because Junior was told by his father who was instructed by the illuminati who got sent a telegram from the alien overlords ( the reintroduction of the TV series “V” a cleaver ploy to mock the idea as camouflage ) to set up a mothership landing area. But it was always enough to occupy Afghanistan simply because the Taliban wouldn’t turn over Bin Laden. So why the need now to confuse the issue? Was it to counter the fact that Afghanistan is now our longest war? Again, I don’t know why, as the media is as docile as an S&M adherent locked to the bed with shackles ( and like said individual, the media enjoys such perversions as rim jobs on their masters ). Why would one idiot yammer away about the war and another try to justify it?

Not having the answers doesn’t mean that there isn’t something afoot. The media is merely part of ourbread and circuses spoon fed to the masses to keep them quiet. The majority of Americans are on some kind of welfare, which of course I’m sure every single one of them is entirely justified in receiving and why not, since to each according to his NEEDS is now the law of the land. Don’t spew your commie crap at me, I’m being nice and for this once going with you on this to avoid another food fight. I’m sure you are all entitled to your place at the trough. Of course, if you like being dependent on others, more power to you. Just know that everyone will lose those checks, sooner or later. Even without a energy collapse, an economic collapse will end your cushy way of life. Not that you aren’t ENTITLED to those checks, just that the system will collapse. Hell, when I was in the service, I knew that my paycheck was a rip off to the taxpayers and I was on the tit. And I didn’t care, just as you don’t. So long and thanks for all the fish. And I don’t care that my current job is indirectly from government grants. I just don’t think it as an ENTITLEMENT. Anyway, since the majority are dependent on Uncle Obammy’s monthly check, and since the media does a nice job whitewashing and since we are all nicely asleep at the cable sports channel ( most sports being subsidized by the taxpayers themselves ), obviously our narcotics of choice are working quite nicely. I’m sure most of us know we are suckers and don’t even really care. We can’t change anything, if voting actually worked it would be illegal. Must of us, if not on the government tit, are wage/debt slaves.

Mineral deposits in Afghanistan are pretty much besides the point. It changes nothing. We went to the country, then to Iraq, to control the oil. Not that we are pumping it out into our own tankers and shipping it over. It seems our normally ham fisted idiots in charge are a bit more subtle. We have in essence locked the whole region down. Look at the map. By occupying those two countries we freeze the status quo as far as who gets the oil. No invasions are possible, at least by the superpowers. We are right next door to all the troublemakers such as Iran and Syria and Pakistan. We can even have a say in the glaciers which supply India’s and China’s water. Of course the occupation has already helped bankrupt us ( although not at the same pace as Goldman Saks ), but empire decline is already a given. It just prolongs things. It certainly makes more sense than the idiotic Domino Theory we had to get us into Vietnam. This is The Great Game, as first practiced by Britain and Russian, and those two were never too stupid in their strategies.

A bit short and inconsequential today, sorry. I got too busy at work and never gave much thought to a subject for lunch. Hey, what can I tell you? Everyday can’t be “Jim As All-Knowing” Day.
