Entry: Big Brother by any other name Wednesday, July 27, 2005



rant
Despite the fact that I have consistently identified myself as a Libertarian for more than a decade, I get maligned and personally attacked by the far right-wing conservative nutbags blogging in my country more than I am hassled by any communist nanny goverment liberals.  Whether you are a tree-hugging socialist or a fascist fear-mongering christian mullah, I say, "get thee behind me."

That's bible-talk for fuck off.

But, I really feel I have to tell both poles of the same oppression, by any another name, that you can suck my big fat dick.  Christian conservative fascist nutbags can spit my spunk out and know that Jesus still loves them despite their indescretions.  Nanny government communist liberals can avoid my salty goo by offering free condoms and dental dams.

Now that I might have shocked you enough to pay attention, I have to re-iterate how much I am disappointed with the conservativism of the far-right and the liberalism of the far-left in the United States.  Simply put, you both suck.

And further, the U.S. constitution is quite clear in regards to modern day issues, especially privacy and the protection against unwarranted search and seizure.  Whether it is security versus liberty, or privacy versus safety, or big brother versus freedom -- not only do both political sides fail miserably -- but also, they are so corrupt in their political thinking that these bi-polar idealogues are continually infecting the common sense middle ground of America and the world.

Whether is it random searches in public for mass transit passengers or the unbelievable proposal that police should be able to pull you over for smoking cigarettes in your own car, in NJ -- these politicians and legislators need to be embarrassingly flogged in public, or called to task in the media, or sent back to constitutional grade school and then put away in lawmaker retirement homes.

Let me just share a fact.  More people die in the United States (on average) every year by being struck by lightning (67) from God himself than died in the four seperate terrorist bombings upon the London tube and bus mass transit systems on July 7th.  I'm not trying to minimize any individual person's grief and loss who may have suffered as much from this despicable act of terrorism, but I am trying to point out the apparent over-reaction by local politicians an ocean away who seem to have too much time on their hands and want to appear to be doing something, anything, about this latest incident.

What part of unwarranted or unreasonable search and seizure do the people in charge of the mass transit system in the U.S. not understand?  This is not East Berlin under the KGB.  The scariest thing to me is the normalization of the two ends of totalitarianism meeting together to excuse away the public citizen's rights based upon the fear of the fracking Great Pumpkin in a supposedly free society.

How is not fascist that you search random people in public?  Don't give me any excuses.  The generational Bush-Saud bed buddy-induced love fest and lack of HUMINT about Wahabbi terrorists are allowing those extremist world views to win the day by shutting down the (supposedly evil) freedoms of the western world and supplanting the daily activities of average people in previously free societies with surveillance cameras and ineffectual random searches.  Or worse, authorizing pseudo military detainments in extra-jurisdictional locations of the seized and detained -- in which they may linger for years without any regard to international or U.S. law  -- simply because they were snatched up during the grayest timeframe of international strife, law, government and civilized behavior, by a pre-emptively aggressive, sheltered and self-assured, self-annoited, and apparently, self-ordained dictator and crusader of world democracy named George W. Bush and friends.

At home, however, the Democrusader whips up fear and patriotism, so liberals and conservatives alike can acknowledge the apparent need for surveillance, and caution, and prudence, and counter-intelligence, and domestic surveillance, and secret law enforcement dossiers of political opponents, and all manner of completely fascist bullshit.  All these things are needed when everyone is running scared of their own shadow, political destiny, and getting caught red-handed as a politically weak and criminal coward.

I can only hope the next delusional meglomaniac we elect as president of the United States is more in touch with the average family struggling to survive in the so-called richest country on the planet.  Despite all the bootstrap talk of the self-righteous, compassionate conservative, right-wing, rich, nut bags who become our elected officials in federal government these days -- our jobs, technology, manufacturing base, currency and pensions have been off-shored and out-sourced by some sickly unpatriotic and nefarious sociopaths in power recently.  I'll let you name your own names; the list is surely long.

Here's a future song lyric I just made up for you, describing the stupidity of the state of affairs in the so-called civilized world.  Maybe I'll name it Terrorist Action Over Reaction, or just Over Kill:

I made a tupperware bomb.
Found a bus to put it on.
Although I died in the blast,
I will be laughing at last,
just like Orwell in his grave
and Bin Laden in his cave.
So, instead of actually promoting more funding for some of the intelligence agencies, so they don't have a two-year-long backlog of something as stupidly simple as language translation of suspected terrorist chatter, we have lawmakers like Hillary Clinton who focus on starting a commision to investigate whether or not some pale womanless hacker geek put out a pornographic software patch for the Grand Theft Auto video game.  These kind of politicians totally suck.  Well, I guess maybe Hillary doesn't actually suck, but Monica Lewinsky apparently does.  Perhaps that is how the Grand Theft Auto porn patch came to Hillary's attention in the first place.  I didn't even know Bill Clinton owned a playstation.  Go figure.

Politicians are just following the old adage "Sex sells." And in bad times, sex sells more. If anything having to do w/sex gets a poli-tic in the news then to hell with rational budgeting, LET'S KEEP SEX AWAY FROM EVERYONE MUAH HAHAHAHAHAHA.

I mean, really, they must see the irony in their own crusades.

That's all pretty strong stuff, John. But, very well written, you must have a big brain. ;-)

Depends on your definition of "Playstation" ... some would consider it an accurate description of Monica.

I blink-blink waiting for comments from the smarter sex, when I do an explicit rant sometimes. I could soften the language, but then I'd have to file it under another topic, wouldn't I?

You guys know what I'm talking about here ... it's stupid and silly. But, rather than making me laugh, sometimes these things tick me off when the dread of realization hits me that these people make the laws in the U.S.

Oh, and thanks, Em. I did finally succumb to the claims of the 5,632 spam emails and bought some viagra for the little man's brain. j/k

J, you know better than that. It's not fascist if we all agree to it, before hand... those of ya'll that vote, anyway.. let me put this micro-chip in your brain behind your ear, so I can control your emotions. Or a chip in your Xbox to teach you a thing or two about the ways of the world. The rest of that game is friggin' insane, as it is. Just riding around listening to the radio is enough to put me in tears, laughing. Mike Toreno, and so much other stuff that I can't even name it all. An interactive sex scene was all that was left out of the game. I've heard they pulled the missions at the last minute, but someone left them, hidden. I'm actually playing the game right now, and I have to get back to something. I'm going to go fly my AF-400 into some building. Have a good one, J.
