Castle of Glass


I had intended to do a mega-post on all my problems with Columbus, since Monday was Columbus Day, but I think I’ll just sum my feelings towards him as follows: Fuck that guy and the ship(s) he rode in on.

Turning to more recent affairs, it’s pretty obvious this whole sham is falling apart. On Tuesday, Elinor’s teachers from daycare called saying she had a fever, so I picked the kids up early and watched them the rest of the day. After watching them basically for two days straight, I began to seriously wonder why I bother to work at all. Money? That’s a worthless carrot. Most of it ends up back in the hands of the banks who create it out of thin air. Don’t believe me? You should probably read up on the Federal Reserve. The Corbett Report has a good hour and a half intro on exactly how fucked up our monetary system is.

Anyhoo, where was I? Oh yeah....work. Useless. Waste of time. Aren’t there a hundred things you’d rather be doing?

Houses, cars, etc., etc.....all useless. And yet we all keep doing things we hate to buy and maintain them. Talk about fucked up priorities.

Started drawing up a logic diagram on the electoral system and Trump. All signs point to Trump being the ultimate psy-op. Everything we’ve been sold is the exact opposite. He was chosen to be the ultimate distraction so the fleecing can be ramped up, while red state idiots don’t know any better and blue state idiots spend all their time having panic attacks and they can all spend their miserable lives flaming each other online. “Red is blue, blue is red! It’s all a lie!” People are so easily divided and pitted against each other.

Trump is the insider that convinced his followers that he is the outsider. What tipped me off is that Kavanaugh is solidly in the Bush dynasty inner circle. “Drain the swamp?” More like fill that shit to the brim. Trump has lined his administration with all the mainstream neocons he can find. John Bolton? That mustachio’d turd? That guy? Really....

As a colleague at work always says, “it’s all over except the arguing.” Just a slippery slide into oblivion for the empire. The world is probably better off without it, to be honest.

Nothing I can do about it, except point it out to people so they are better prepared when it finally goes south. All that money stored away for a rainy day? Worthless. Could literally vanish overnight.

Not that I would do anything about it, even if I could. I tend to take the Carlin approach these days. On one of his interviews he said that he was not an active participant. He just stays out of it and tries to point out to people “look at what you’re doing to yourselves.” It seems to me that humanity was doomed from the start.

My approach is perhaps best described in Linkin Park’s “Castle of Glass:”

“‘cuz I’m only a crack in this castle of glass, hardly anything there for you to see......
‘cus I’m only a crack in this castle of glass, hardly anything else I need to be.......”
