Water advice from a water warrior



Water can flow or it can crash 

Water runs from my eyes for those that have never swam the drunken seas with fists of furry
Great Lakes are great if you like waste ponds with great capacity
until they reach saturation
and catch  fiery
Venturi effects
consuming all the 
oxygen

Water Water used to be everywhere
with no thought given
to getting a drink
now our most brilliant
minds are laser focused
on charging for something
so essential its more Mizi
than gohan

Corporations as people legally
live but never drink
and drive
or do anything to stay alive
so that puts the water
dependent people
struggling distinctly disadvantaged
with humanity shackles
that do not get profit
or air miles
if you do not get my 
point pretend your in a government sanctioned
brick and mortar prison
trying to stay healthy
or because you have some hope
you do not smoke
real persons like that
incarcerated by the corporate people
can trade fags
for real cash
or to escape
a sadomasonitic 
 butt
fucking
from a straight guy
who in prison
gets his wholes
confused
because the corporate person
loves the punishment
cause it cost them nothing
this quarter
and we Corporate Citizens
have principles
fist one
give no quarter
no not a dime
or a nickel
we worship the nickel
on Bloomberg
big time


living on the Salton Sea
that's the Val Kilmer 
lifestyle furniture future 
Das ist enier gut doch
as it looks real dry
for you and me
pull up a beaten
woven lawn chair
crafted from polyester
and aluminum
today such a seat
belongs in the 
Smithsonian
Gambatte Kud Ess Sigh

Desalination  snake eating 
diminishing Frank Luntz tale
its sustenance while it lasts
but you cant make a meal
out of salty water
there is no mainlining
saline solution
sucking chest wound
Sitrap Bravo Alpaha Zero
Mike Mike Mike
I am leaving for Civilization
for
Centauri

East side west side
North side and places
in-between are suffering 
from extremes
to much or not enough
or both of the same
all at one time
water
drip
drip
drip
Its water torture
DIck Cheney approved Climate Change

Fire is everywhere
flames making the air
so clear with smoke
that even the mouth breathers
are starting to choke
and finding God
in the foxhole 
they dug
but the foxhole
turns out to be the 
planet
and that's a very big
A hole

A little bit pregnant that we are
you can not go back to that flat
stomach without giving birth
and its going to be a difficult birth
and many children will
die
and mothers
unfortunately the motherfuckers
have all decamped to New Zealand
or Canada
the worst of the bunch 
may hide in Russia
or Hokkaido

CHE APPLE



Into the world of diversity
Che and Fidel 
were a rare Communist pair
that could beat
three of a capitalist kind
In the battle so far
Cuba is the clear winner
battling above its weight class
a beacon of freedom from
in a mostly miserable semi
hemisphere of freedom too

and the strip mall architects are salivating
its going to be Fulgencio Batista all over again
while the Cuban people
look around at what they got
and what they lost
and weigh in
somewhat starved
but very much alive
after 50 years in a
bomb shelter

46th Anniversary of the paradigm collision between Science Fact and Science Fiction



I watched live as Neil Armstrong was walking on the moon. Like every 11 year old boy in the western world I was a part of the team that day. That sense of wonder and confidence in government, science and human will peaked for humanity July 20, 1969. If aliens landed in Times Square this afternoon people would be excited, but most sophisticated consumers of popular culture, would react by saying “what took you guys so long”. Most pundits look back at this accomplishment as proof we 21st century humans are moving backwards. Why are we not on Mars? Why does the US have to hitchhike to the Flying outhouse.

NASA got lost in Marketing over Mission. It made little scientific sense to continue boosting men into orbit, but from a propaganda side it was gold pure gold. If the Saturn program had been continued launching robotic craft, and if with the left over change new propulsion and life support system had been researched, we might have arrived in the future by 2012.

The body politic mourns for the good old days of can do America. Well there was an unsustainable load of baggage being carried by the USA in 1969. Nixon was running the place and a crazy bleeder bleeding the country out in Vietnam. Hard lessons were learned. Now what if JFK had not been assassinated? What if he stood up to the military industrial complex? What if he had put America on a Singaporean type benevolent capitalism glide path? Imagine, just imagine.

There may still exist people like Neil Armstrong and his breed, but I doubt it. Vietnam and Nixon destroyed that DNA. However we have gained far more than we lost, but the danger is we are losing everything we gained, and the backwards momentum does not promise us a force of Neil Armstrong’s. No we are getting a New Generation of Nixon’s or worse. RIP Neil Armstrong the last American hero with the gravitas and grace worthy of uncritical adoration.

Our version of JFK says "in fourscore and four years we might free ourselves from Carbon or not"

wake up alone

Climbing Mount Signal


When I was 18 years old, me and two of my buddies decided that we were going to climb Mt. Signal. Even though it's only 2,300 feet to the top of Mt. Signal it looked like Mt. Everest to us. Being the young bucks that we were, we thought it the thing to do to prove our manhood. Temperatures in the Imperial Valley hit 90 to 110 during the day so we started early in the morning, figuring to make the summit by noon and get back down before nightfall. We started up one foot in front of the other, boulder by boulder, it was a good climb and we gained a hundred feet of altitude every ten minutes. Half way up we looked around and thought, maybe we've bit off more than we can chew, but we kept on climbing. We made the summit right around noon and took in the view. 2,300 feet in the air it was if we were in an airplane flying over the perfectly flat fields of the Imperial Valley, we were in awe of what we had accomplished. Standing before the shrine with it's cross at the summit we knew we were somebody, we knew that we mattered. I picked up a couple of rocks and put them in my pocket, then we started the climb down. It was like floating on air, we bounded from boulder to boulder gravity assisted and flew down the mountain. Without seeming effort we glided as if on wings toward the base, in a trance like state time slowed down, as if in slow motion every stone was alive and a step back to reality. We arrived in the real world and realized that we were men and began our journey, we had arrived ! (read more)

Take ISIS for relief!

I was always a Betty man Really


ISIS like foes are not among stist
those we have in the West
come up against
Al Queda was bad
and for Osama to hide
we must decide
if it was Allah
or the CIA 
that gave him such astounding
relief
that allowed him to abide
like the worlds baddest dude
with a world class bad attitude
for more than a decade
is a safe mansion in Pakistan
located not a stones throw
from the garden city
that was one of the few
places in that troubled
shithouse poorly planned
nation built on sand
where gardens grew
and the streets were not full


If you our me
was to live Paki (Pakistan Pekoe not racist)
we would want to rent
Osama Bin Ladins House

So with no other serious enemy to fight
we fought Al Queda
with all our might
behavioral experts might disagree
but making people take off
their belts and shoes
might give them a PHD
in Sheeple agree.

Then Obama ended
two open ended wars
that had not traction
We had a brief history
in time where terrorism
from black hoodies and nijab
was not a distraction

Yep for a brief moment in time
the most important powerful people in the world
where not occupied by the Flintstones.

Believe it or not it started with Eisenhower
This was the American who saved the world
He really did
Herding Cats is a backwash
tending to your pool
This man had command
and he made fools into tools
as if you want to move
forward you must do
over and over
no matter how hard
it upsets your
basic rules

Well it seems Eisenhower was
not Einstein an
and despite what he believed
the forces that be
determined he was dangours
he believed in democracy
his experience at slaying fascism
was not a novel the money men
would read
or even in a drug induced
water boarded interrogation
agree
There is so much money
I can survive pain
and potential death
endlessly

Just as a aside that's how I see myself
not going to give up my friends
or my country no matter what
tool you pull of the shelf.

Now back to history. Eisenhower had
defeated the Nazi, and planned events
that could never be duplicated
he was the Beatles of warfare
Sun Tzu
would burn some paper for this mother fucker

So naturally and fallowing the  U Grant events
and many other great Presidents
he took control

But history has no record
of why he selected
a man a faint heartbeat
away like Richard Nixon
That would be an incredible
conversation with Eisenhower
who had take Hitler down
now had to wear
Nixon on his crown

Hey its all politics
and do not pay close
attention
all pols are the same
and you should vote
for the one close to your heart
Skeptics in the recently rated
third best city in the world
take Rob Ford as a pill
that proves not so smart

So Eisenhower is sandtrapped
with Nixon and he starts to golf
I think he was brokenhearted
and did not give a fuck

He could not speak the truth
case he took a spin on jeep
with a girl that was not
his wife

Now we have Eisenhower
a good guy in most ways
An American Icon
cause hate them
as you must
Americans have
moved the ball down
field
fumble after fumble
but that is why
in history we must trust

I was not there
but I am sure it was true
the Military Industrial Complex
wanted to make sure
there was no rust
on the ROI

Ike was not one to take the mike
and he said bullshit will not make rules
reality distortion fields
I have smashed a thousand
and I will never bend ove4r
for punks like you.

Little Dick the concubine
and
the President shared in the heritage line
May not have been patients
maybe he did not want
to sit in line
maybe he would be the first Vice President
warmer than a bowl of piss
his urine fueled heat fried democracy
big time

Frances Gary Powers got shot down
and Eisenhower was surrounded
and he knew he had to drop the dime
he had fought a world war
and when the truth
and power conflict
you got to take out
a tape measure and
examine your dick

How many inches or millimeters
do you want to give away
when the battle is already
fought and despite your no aquencient
you are rated Napoleon for you strong thought.
If I play Civilization being Eisenhower is far above
Dan Quale, Napoleon and any Kings or Queens
that are only legitimate because
they have support from above
or now when that fortress is breached
a tourist attraction that can sign off
on laws as well

So Ike being the man probably said
I have fought Nazi with weapon
all your Ayn Rand nonsense
leaves me wondering why
I am a conservative instead
of a liberal who do
their thinking with best practices
dreaming of a world
where you buy what you want
not what the paymaster said

History records that the the the the
great concord that Eisenhower
had almost cemented with Soviets was dead
When Frances Gary Power hit the ground
and in fact was not dead.
The Soviets could have just
killed this terrorist spy
but they kept him alive
and traded him
for a colder cold war
this was nonsense for the Soviet
who could barely keep a fridge
with a kitchen door

You look at Goebbles and operation paperclip
and wall street today
and how we are manipulated
and never see
even the simplest trick.
Tricks and cons and bullshit
our parents would have just shrugged
off as part of the permanent SNAFU
unfortunately today
a sizeable majority believe
and the rest of the pie
are afraid
if they complain
they will have
a police response
based upon the NSA
and guilty or innocent
it do not matter much when
your brain is filled with
a slug from a gun
that in Iraq was full
of ammunition but in the
end saved no one.

Eisenhower and Nixon must
have a had a conversation
that pushed them both over the brink
Maybe it was the Checkers speech
a pooch make Eisenhower
surrender to a puppy
of mice and men

History records that
Frances Gary Powers
was shot down
there is a lot of confusion about
that event
and more importantly how did it happen
and was Eisenhower cool
with taking such a provocative action
in the middle of talks
that would have led to peace
and certain retirement
for the Industrial Military Complex
freaks

We only have a few facts
about this past time
one of the most significant
is that a highly trained
radar expert was in the USSR
at this time.
A pasty had defected
and we would not hear
of him again
until that day
which under all the clouds
of confusion
no one disputes
JFK had brain matter
ejected for the crime
of an argument
with flat and round

Little terrorist before
that term had been defined
Lee Harvey Oswald
traveled back and forth
between two nations
zeroed in on a nuclear war 
Even accidental tourists
with the best credentials would
be hard pressed to cross those lines

So Lee Harvey Oswald
shot JFK
its that simple
and no matter hard
you study history
the fact on the ground
have made it certain
that it was a good kill
examined to death
and only crazy
people would see it
any other way.

Just as an aside
I found it very interesting
that Stephen King
looked at all the facts
and decided that history was on the single
shooter side. What more proof do you need
an award winning excellent author
has written a book
with which the Warren Commission
would agree

JFK died in Dallas
and then in my book
Jaguline became the creepiest bride
Aristotle are you serious
this was prostitution
carried out on the grand culture side

The greatest man from Texas
was not power hungry
no he resigned never severed
two terms
I guess we all estimated
his power function
and how
they never surrender
he took the first opportunity to leave
maybe he thought his head intact
looked better on reflection
or maybe he just gave up on power
what a nice historical introspection

Nixion became president
it was like Sid Vicious
filling in for John Lennon

This little punk
was not going to be
told
you should go this way

He had so many enemies
the Rolex was doomed
only a computer could keep track
and facebook was born this way

I think tricky Dick knew
the way to play
more than a fur coat
or a puppy dog
he wanted some say
in the big universe
and as President he assumed
it would go that way

I image he was so disappointed
by the first visit of the men in black
they wanted him to do so many
things that conservatives would attack
Peace with China  fuck that.
Dick did not care how many consumer devices
they could make with a battery pack
Yet he flew to Beijing
and started the downward spiral of everything
He made a deal with the communists
who liked the label
but at the end of the day
are only the people
who do not wane
they are so tough
there is nothing
in the package
they want that
will make them sane.

Little Dick came from bumfuck
he did not see the deal
for his people playing this game

So the plumbers made Watergate
and the rest is history
assets leaked
and pressure grew
and at the end of the day
the Bushes outlived Reagan
and we are now close to the modern say.

Reagan wanted peace with Gorby
for all his simple minded dementia
this was one thing he knew
was true.

Well someone sabotaged that
and you can bet there was a shrub
behind that attack.

Bush takes command
a direct line behind
shot down at 19
and Finance
and Preston
and everything

Command proves to be a little tricky and
he fails in the flack publicly
but in the background
lots of ammo left
for attack

So his unfortunate son
like the lyric from
credence Clearwater revival
defeats green peace

Now thanks to him
we are locked in a cycle
of war that's hard to break
the only grace
is Adam Smith
and his invisible hand
you can not fight wars endlessly
on foreign lands
if there is no profit
in all those bleached bones.

So when you see on the new
Saddam is launching babies
out of incubators
or someone in a cave
is thirty seconds away
from digging your grave

Take ISIS for relief
You do not need to be a salesman
to know you are being sold

Cognitive Dissonance Danger




Cognitive Dissonance Danger, you know the drill:avoid contact if you cant handle the truth.

Subject the battle between Nihilism and organization.
The Nihilist are winning, and wining by billions. But its the organalizist that are reaping all the rewards. The organized ones are manufacturing Nihilist. It is the perfect divide and conquer.

Tom thought about changing his interface and it happened, his level of augmentation was in now in God mode.  He was now able to switch all his senses to a quantum computed dream zone where the owner was the architect of his own game. Players using a simple sandbox could travel through others prescribed adventure or with a few menu choices create their own dream masterpiece  like  their metaphor for Falling Water or the Eiffel Tower.

The company on a payment plan of just $1000 per month upgrade the sensory interface and antenna. Its a very organic biological solution, the designer called it the God Organ. Regretfully he retracted that characterization late.  Most still called it that in particular Pastafarians like Tom.

Level one content only allows the user to play single player or locally networked games. Then it was extra to travel to the  Alternative Earth You web access. Exclusively allowing an infinite number of players to meet up for an infinite number of experiences. Live  God level was huge  upgrade over Angel.  Angels experienced as a viewer, Gods as a participant. Angels would watch athletes and Entertainers perform in the third person, Gods was purely fist person, though you could toggle if one wanted to watch oneself. Good friends often bonded over the shared experience of feeling a historical event as star of its  creation. Alternative Earth You  owned Billions of people intimately  sharing a common experience that is transformed into a replayable searchable benchmark in the zeitgeist.

This week it being the auspicious date, the hundred birthday of a star. Tom has purchased Angel level hit I am sitting on Keith Richards guitar and he is shaking it so I hard, Tom is riding a roller coaster. like piloting a fighter plane, while the crowed roars and screams, just as real as your best dream upon command.

Tom was way over budget  for Alternative Earth You this month. His wife Jerry would not be happy, but they would not be the first couple pulled way beyond their means to an addiction that no one ever suspected would become a real world affliction.  That's what Tom was thinking about as he thought authorized the payment to the Bitcoin  collecting nemesis.  Tom always argued Philip K Dick when people said no one could have imagined the consequences a company like  Alternative Earth You.  To strengthen his case Tom always prefaced the central argument with some historical evidence.

"knowing what we know now about 911 its not hard to imagine powerful people trying to create an alternative reality. My favorite is Condelezza Rice. The National Security Advisor was appointed to be the sharpest point on the spear, or was She.  In one of history greatest gaffes Secretary Rice  reassures the nation that "no one could have imagined passenger aircraft used as missiles" 

Next to the Kennedy assassination 911 was the top argument arena. Tom usually purchased a Churchill Avatar rigged with all the options. The Oxford Debate world had many great purchase opportunities and Churchill was the most popular. The Roppongi neighbor hood was the zone where Tom earned his lively hood. 

It was not known as Roppongi for geographic reason. The real Roppongi is famous for having uncountable thousands of tiny bars, dioramas with  barely room for a dozen customers. It is famously said in Roppongi a Yankee fan can find a bar dedicated to Mickey Mantle fans from Omaha. Net Roppongi is a similar collection of esoteric bits.

If a pre company citizen saw Tom at the local legion on stage hotly debating with  any one of the millions of anti-conspiracy theory paid trolls, they would head straight for the dartboard.

In contrast even the least educated nihilist would sample a little of Churchill debating GWB over  the official  911 narrative. This was Tom working  on God level. People like Tom parlayed up for their Churchill Avatar, then got paid by trolling with acid or flower persuasion. Even without the company getting their slice it was a hard way ahead for most.

If his presentation was liked enough he would be contracted by the second to  content one the talking heads in the ongoing live debate. Angels would now see his Avatar behind the podium at Oxford debating the subject of the day. Angel mode was the popular choice for informed debate. A point of view voluntarily chosen by the surprisingly  few that preferred to be informed instead of taking a side in the argument. Without the bonus Tom got from uplifted  moments, the job would not be worth doing.

Being a AEY troll was a mercenary life. Contracts by the issue, bonus based on likes, popular trolla could get a very nice taste of the action just showing up on a public affairs site. Other trolls were of a less subtle license.

 Even though the Roppongi Group was very strict about advertising allowed into a Sandbox, Troller hackers could evade and invade a site and insert a influential persuasion element into an experience. Once they become your friend its easy for them to push you in their direction. All the big brands that remained put serious money into Alternative Earth You Trolls.   

Most governments denied using trolls and in Europe it was illegal for Political Parties to troll.  Users went ballistic if they caught a government troll, but just like lying the practice continued because it was proven to effective at getting elected.

Tom and Jerry went God level  live to Waikiki Beach a few days ago. Immediately they were approached by a pair of Troller Hackers offering them the Hawaii humanity could never imagine. Toms looked like Rachel circa Incredible Journey and comming on to Jerry Mel the roadwarrior.  In less time than a pirate banner add on the cheapest site is corrected,  the fake  Raquel and Mel were removed. For a little more users had the option to choose their execution.  The most popular choice were a variety of sword and shotgun eliminations. Tom did not troll hack , he had done it before but it was the lowest and least rewarding form of trolling.  Even a government troll could claim a higher purpose.

Tom and Jerry had a very nice income. He doing better than expected for a trolling Churchill Avatar.  Jerry a upper middle class of reward due too a content creator.  Jerry's niche sandbox was full of 18th century adventures. Her highest rated experience was called Shipwrecked sailor of the Spanish Armada. Like the experience Jerry loved and lived often in both Irelands. In 18th Century Ireland Tom may have faced alcohol addiction. In twenty first Century Canada less than ten percent of citizens would be reality impaired. It was much totally more healthy and more pleasant to abuse the stimulant opportunities that could be purchased from Alternative Earth You.  Modern citizens faced the most diabolical of addictions, themselves.

In addition to being an unremarkable  troll Tom was a Montreal Canadians Addict, The live buys where like crack. All the players sensory nerves are captured. Tom usually watched as the Captain, Alex Galchenyuk. With the Canadians once again being a powerhouse it was the worst possible time to fight his form of Addiction.  They were spending over thirty grand a month on the internet.

Jerry with her classic low narcissistic  profile  preferred more time on the reality side. Of course they had many adventures together but forking out to the company for God class  at a hockey game. even a playoff game,  was not her idea of  money well spent.

Tom like most suspected a shadow government used price controls to keep  price of the best experience beyond the resources of the many. Tom like the few actually cared about it.  Jerry would roll her eyes and point out the government warning every time you switched on recommended no more than three hours out of your body in a single day. Everyone ignored the warring.  None of the cases before the court had  found Alternative Earth You  responsible for any of the consequences of their service.

Tom had tried quitting the Canadians before, watching from the cheap seats or even with those who could not pay for an implant. Even if he chose some games from the Chockula decade it was no use. Five seconds of the game action and he tweaking his way to the suspension pool, thinking his way to upgrade. In a nano second Rocket Richard had reviewed his credit and psyche profile before asking him with eyes fully blazing to authorize the upgrade, and there you go. So it goes So it goes.

Jerry came home at nightfall after a day of walking her Irish backgrounds, ready to metaphorically kill Tom if he was looking in  Alternative Earth You. She found Tom just as she expected lying there like a character from Alerted States completely submerged in the suspended animation chamber, breathing tube in and arms and legs flailing madly . She checked the settings, his heart rate was over 130 at least he had the game set on high.  Tom was living hockey history. The most expensive hockey experience is Paul Henderson Game 7 Canada Russia 1972.  Suddenly Tom was alone. devoid of sense and sensation.  The unit fails to clean and dry him so quickly he springs through the hatch.

"Jerry you can give a guy mental problems yanking him out of the game like that, I was just working out"

Jerry replies " What the hell is wrong with working out with yesterdays game for free?"

Tom wishes he was Churchill.
