bunged wealth being no temptation for someone as tight as a sheeps-arse-with-acute-anal-cramps, who can stretch a penny to feed himself and his entire family for an entire year, and who further possesses the electrolytic capabilities to gild a turd and pass it off to the financial times as a gold ingot.<br /><br />now, to be fair, i could forgive ms o'connor for her exorbitant celebrity self-centredness, if only she could redeem herself...make the world a better place somehow...perhaps repair the altogether unattractive unrepentant condition in which her good friend bono finds himself...relinquish her self-imposed religious repression for just <i>one</i> moment...do something right...and knock the cunt out.<br /><br />not that i condone violence or anything like that...<br /><br />...but in this <i>one</i> case...<br /><br />...maybe the exception would prove the rule...<br /><br />hey, oh well...another <i>g8</i> conference goes down the drain of decadent democracy.concerto in cia (part two)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-51590917144256701322013-06-19T02:20:43.238+01:002013-06-19T02:20:43.238+01:00ok, on the balance of evidence provided, it does s...ok, on the balance of evidence provided, it <i>does</i> seem that ms o'connor is something of a wacked-out one-trick wassock, but surely it's her mate bono about whom we should be more deeply concerned...<br /><br />...according to <a href="http://mg.co.za/article/2013-06-18-bono-cant-help-africans-by-stealing-their-voice" rel="nofollow">this delightfully discordant critique by george monbiot</a>, the godfather of irish rock's greed-for-gratefulness, underscored by his grossly grandiose presence at the high-table of white-condescension-to-aid-blacks, has been blocking-out the grassroots protests of ordinary african farmers, who, as a result of <i>g8</i> 'initiatives' promoted by the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jun/10/african-hunger-help-g8-grab" rel="nofollow"><i>new alliance for food security and nutrition</i></a>, are not only being subjected to rapacious land-grabs by western multi-national companies, but are also being <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/poverty-matters/2013/jun/07/g8-new-alliance-flawed-project" rel="nofollow">forced to buy these new-wave colonialists' cripplingly-expensive genetically-modified seeds</a>...<br /><br />basically, bono's brutally-biased sonic-boom has been drowning out the unamplified voices of smallholder farmers, pastoralists, indigenous peoples, and environmentalists right across africa - obviously afro-fugal obama would far rather listen to the commercially manipulated meanderings of a dozy white twat like paul david hewson <i>kbe</i> than real african agriculturalists, who, given equal access to their maladministrative american uncle, would more likely love to tear a thousand strips off the neo-colonial protectionist prick, <i>one</i>-by-<i>one</i>, before feeding the end-product to their local band of honey-badgers as a form of pertinent yet somehow politically-correct fertility sacrifice.<br /><br />instead of campaigning for a free-market where individual africans have the right <i>first</i> to feed <i>one</i>-another and <i>then</i> export their surplus goods to america and europe for potential personal profit, mr pro bono appears to be lobbying for the god-given right of rich multi-national western corporations to exploit the very people for whom he claims to care - and so today, at last, we see the long impoverishing curtain of protectionism pulled-down but at a price which will surely enslave africans forever-and-a-day; after the long sentence of slavery and colonialism, africans are finally permitted to export their produce to the rich nations, but only if the fat white controllers harvest all the plump profits.<br /><br />bono cynically patronizes africans with complex offers of aid and charity, when in fact what the common african man and woman really wants is very much more simple: justice, and the freedom to trade on equal terms with their western counterparts. the guy seems infinitely more interested in schmoozing upto, and jumping into bed with, big-brother-in-business than genuinely helping his black brother in dire straits - does this jazzy-jerkoff realize that the <i>mau mau</i> uprising and subsequent commission of retaliatory genocide by churchill's officers was originally precipitated by oppressive colonial control of prime kenyan farmland which left the <i>kikuyu</i> tribespeople living in utter destitution?<br /><br />(continued)concerto in cia (part one)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-9302381921191461032013-06-18T18:26:18.235+01:002013-06-18T18:26:18.235+01:00Thanks a lot for sharing this with all folks you a...Thanks a lot for sharing this with all folks you actually recognize what you are <br />speaking about!

considering the skyful of ...tales of the unelected<br /><br />considering the skyful of stars who, given an ounce of fame and fortune, cash in their political positions and principles to garner themselves even more popularity, i honestly feel that ms o'connor constitutes a refreshing, if rather super-heated, blast of radio-activity over the air-waves. she will likely carry on in the same vein right into her dotage, it's just how she is - and all power to her elbow, say i.<br /><br />i'm sure that it must simply be some wholly insignificant and incidental factor in the woman's personal make-up which triggers you off so, mr ishmael - as dtp so sagely hints, when embraced in the company of those she trusts, ms o'connor is no doubt the life and soul of the party and a bundle of laughs all rolled into one, and it is only when on hostile territory that, as an instinctive means of warding off political predators and detractors, she blows herself up to her fullest scale. this feisty female's only fault perhaps, is an inclination to make frequent brazen forays behind enemy lines, thus over-exposing herself to dangerous positions under threat of opposition fire - and in this regard, i sincerely hope that she slays her psychological demons and finds a better battle-life balance.<br /><br />you see, mr ishmael, this is the value of having friends with whom, in the midst of a vicious world, one can be at ease, and indeed i have often heard you speak of your own. sadly, of course, in the roughed-up ruin of modern reality, i find that friendship is an outdated concept which in a bygone age became suddenly extinct, friends having chosen to eschew love and companionship in favour of diving headfirst down respective rabbit and fox-holes in pursuit of deeper causes, which afforded them greater spiritual and emotional fulfilment, and it was at that point, mr ishmael, left estranged from inner worthiness, that i decided to investigate this other warmer wiser world, with a view to checking out the holy chalice which attracted people there - so i dived down too, in the hope of discovering what it was all about, so-to-speak.<br /><br />through the looking-glass, i glimpsed the ideologically-driven, single-mindedly steeped in their endeavours to improve our societal behaviour, all living in an snap-strung realm where the sole permissible emotions were those either of extreme concealed mirth or outright eye-ball-popping anger, the subtler mood-shades in the spectrum, such as simple sadness, sympathy, nostalgia, melancholy, common contentment, gladness, and plain conviviality, being banished into obscene obscurity to a degree where cynicism remained king - a place where, mr ishmael, at the time of his execution, poor mr rigby would have been legally obliged to have laughed his head <i>off</i> and his guts <i>out</i>, and where the, albeit gauchely, expressed love of one human being for another was regimentally and raucously ridiculed. i truly believe that what i beheld in my vision was the land of the happy-fascists - the be-happy-or-else brigade.<br /><br />fuck <i>that</i>, mr ishmael. fuck <i>that</i> to hell.tales of the unelectednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-76839871632939544842013-06-07T02:01:00.224+01:002013-06-07T02:01:00.224+01:00@dtp
