The good (or bad, depending on how much you like to drive) news is that we probably can’t afford to.

Saltarello #2 – Chominciamento di Gioia – Ensemble Unicorn

It probably helped to save a bit of cash as well, having some of the movie in colour!

Wim Winders used the same in “Wings of Desire” – having the angels in monochrome amplifies the desire for mortality … if only for the extra spectral perception!

That’s it, exactly. And “Steward” is not a bad way to refer to the man, since he is in fact the *steward* of true liberal/progressive expression in the media (don’t get me started about “public” television). That is, the little that is allowed to bubble to the surface of the media bog. That’s actually his function in the system, as far as I’m concerned, to render completely harmless any political opposition to the great American project of transferring the wealth upward.

That’s the point that the “hip” crowd is missing entirely, that in disallowing seriousness in their expression of political thought, they have effectively neutered themselves as a force in politics (and also as a force for the civilizational change they will be at the epicenter of, and which will happen whether they take it seriously or not). Call me cynical, or conspiritorial or whatever, but I doubt very much that this happened by accident.

Generation X/Y’s nihilism, like their utter cluelessness, is a product of a long century-long process of conditioning, using the tools of marketing, propaganda, and “education.” These generations are, in a way, masterpieces of these arts. Not only will they dispose of themselves when they are no longer useful as “consumers,” they have been rendered completely helpless to save themselves. It’s interesting (and not a little tragic) that peak oil is happening now. Never has a generation been less prepared for the future it will face.

As for Obama and the Tea Party, well of course that’s all it’s really about. “Get that nigger out of the White House!” as Jim Kunstler put it some time back. It was, after all, the intention of Our Lord and Saviour that the People’s House would forever be the abode of an Anglo-Saxon Protestant male (or one of that race’s willing helpmeets).

And yeah, it is a bit strange that, ever since the war profiteers seized the reins of power, we seem to be embroiled in a string of never-ending wars. Hmm, there may be a connection there. But I’d better not ponder it too deeply. The cool kids might get the idea that I’ve been thinking. Or worse, reading.

For proof of a globalist connection to the Daily Show, one need go no further than one of the show’s Emmy Award winning writers, Kevin Bleyer, who is a member of the globalist round table group known as the Council on Foreign Relations, whose stated mission can only be described as the erosion of U.S. sovereignty. His Wikipedia entry proudly boasted about his CFR membership until recently, but it can still be confirmed elsewhere, like on the CFR’s own website and Bleyer’s Facebook page in which two of his five “likes” are the CFR and Foreign Affairs, the CFR’s publication.

The biggest crime that a person can make among the GenXY/TDS/CR demographic is that of being “serious”. Gods forbid if one is serious about anything. When Steward (why do these silly fingers keep mistyping his name as “Steward”. Screw it…go with it), when Steward announced the Vanity Rally he drew a false analogy between the anti-war lefties who accused Bush of being a Nazi (ahem, cough, cough) – and the Tea-bag racists who do the same thing about Obama.

Overlooking one small difference, Steward…

1. The Tea-baggers call Obama a “Nazi/Muslim/Terrist” because he’s black. They can’t use the world “NIGGER”, so they find the next best thing. It’s straight out of “Blazing Saddles”. “The Sheriff is a N…” BONG. WHAT? “The SHerRiFF is a NI….” BONGGggg

2. Lefties called Bush a Nazi for, uhm, starting an illegal war and killing hundreds of thousands of people.

Semantics about the 14 defining characteristics of fascism aside, there’s a huge difference between the two groups, and their motivations. Bush, Rice, Blair, et al, should be on trial. Obama’s crime is being stupid enough to allow his hide to be used as a fig leaf for Empire.

Regarding Bush’s actual degree of fascism, if he’s anything like his Grandfather, the US got off light:

“We have nothing to fear, but fear itself. Oh, and anyone with the surname Bush.” FDR should have added.

The tragedy of the Daily Show is the misuse of an amazing and unsung resource: their research staff. How those guys can pull together the footage for any given episode, in such short time periods, is amazing. They’re the real stars of TDS, and completely anonymous.

Shame that their work is put to such shallow use. In the right hands, TDS could destroy the kinds of people who are begging to be kicked to a pulp…the war criminals, hypocrites, pederasts and demagogues of DC.

Ah, well. Never ye mind. Here’s an interview with Bill Kristol. His new book is about Geopolitics in the Cold War. Hi Bill, glad to chat again so soon.

Thanks John, glad to be here…………………………
