Flying Monkey

[H2O Man]

“It was so quiet, one of the cult would later say, you could almost hear the sound of ice rattling in cocktail shakers in the homes far away from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The lies pouring out of the White House play tricks with sounds. A threat clearly audible five years ago may be indistinguishable from one minutes ago.”
-- H2O Man, Helter Sphincter


Imagine, if you will, a scumbag sociopath with a legal history of sexual offenses and felony convictions, with a group that believes he is both Jesus and Satan, moves into the White House. Now there, the cult leader convinces them to turn DC into a sprawling Spahn Ranch, where they will spark a war they call “Helter Sphincter,” after a song not found on a never issued Bay City Rollers album. His wicked warlock Stephen Miller releases a flock of blind spastic flying monkey assholes wearing orange hates, aggressive in their ignorance who are well-armed and cold as ice. This will be the war to end all wars and elections, destroying decency and democracy, and when it is over it is over, the sociopath will be the grand ruler.

Consider, as you must, today's socio-political reality. Because if you really think about it, the above stuff is exactly where we find ourselves today. The biggest difference between the Manson “family” and this administration is their clothing. Some from each cult may have appeared “normal” in high school, or to even have a promising future. But they failed the big test. They have become Alex's Droogs, launching “a little of the old ultra-violence” upon society.

Fuck that. And fuck them. The truth is that they were always assholes. It's the the germ of evil was in the early process of germination. If you didn't take shit from them in high school, don't take shit from them now. And if you were victims of the cruelty before, it's time to turn the tables on them.

I see that pinhead Stephen Miller talking about tough guys. To borrow from LBJ, he's not a zit on a tough guy's ass. No, he's one of many pimples erupting on the felon's flabby white ass. I learned in boxing that no tough guy has the need to say it, and if a jackass blabs on like Miller, it is just a bluff. (Every rule has an exception, in this case, Muhammad Ali.)

I'll end with this: I'm not saying they are not violent and dangerous. Weak humans can, with the power of violence, cause great destruction and suffering. But they soon lose control, and that violence controls them. And then it destroys them. The key is non-violence on our part, fueled by the knowledge that we will win.

1. So true, and very well written

I especially like the “Clockwork Orange” and the LBJ references. And you are correct about that I’ve known actual tough guys, such as fisherman in Alaska, and they are very humble. I’d like to see Stephen Miller even work for one day fishing on a salmon boat on Bristol Bay. I don’t think he would make it back the next day.

5. Thank you!

I doubt that Miller could do a day's work throwing bales of hay from sun-up to sun-down, much less survive on an Alaskan boat. That worm would be used as bait.

Many, many years ago, there was an obnoxious loud-mouth who displayed contempt for two guys from my team in a tournament. He was undefeated in the amateurs, at a weight class above me. In the locker room after the finals, he said something akin to "well done" to me. I told him I didn't like his attitude, and planned to humble him in the ring.

A few months later, we met on the undercard of a pro card featuriing a main event that included a contender who would win the light heavyweight title within the year. My opponent discovered he was in trouble within thirty seconds, and spent the rest of the fight trying to win a cross country race. I don't believe that he ever fought again. He was talented, but not tough. I was then offered a fight against a guy who eventually did well, won part of a title, but had his career ended when he fought Roberto Duran. Those were actual tough guys. But I never fought again. I had accomplished enough -- meaning I had learned that even tough guys get hurt in the ring. I'm sure the former fishermen my age have the same aches and pains I do.

9. Using Stephen Miller as bait, that really made me laugh

I like boxing. To watch. I used to shoot pictures for the paper and all kinds of different sports and boxing was one of my favorites. As a person who doesn’t like violence, odd I would enjoy a boxing match, but there are strict rules and it’s an even match. And you’re right the guys have to be extremely tough to take hits like that

2. Yay!! So perfect H2O Man. Thanks for the laughs

and for the truth. Bullies don’t like to be laughed at. Stand up to them. AOC has the right idea. Make fun of them.

You are brilliant dear friend .

6. Thanks!

I'm thinking that Vince Bugliosi wouldn't mind if I borrowed from the opening lines of his most famous book. I remember in grade school, we had "Weekly Readers." There was frequently a "can you find a face in this tree?" bit. And I borrowed from that, among several other sources, to try to correctly show the face of our opposition.

7. Thank you!

As I noted in a recent post, I learned in the ring that a hurt opponent almost always is the most dangerous. It means it is time to throw hard body shots. In this case, Miller is a panicked putz trying to scare people. His position allows him to exercise violence, but he is the exact opposite of tough.

They sure are worried that the Epstein files will be made public. Maybe not until we take control in early 2017, post-mid terms. Until then, we need to go to the body, and knock the wind out of them.

4. "Imagine if you will..."

I heard a throwback to the Rod Serling introduction for the Twilight Zone.

We have indeed entered the Twilight Zone.

[H2O Man]

8. We have, indeed!

I attempted to give a tip of the hat to five sources in the OP. Combined, they illustrate the nature of our opposition. None more accurate than The Twilight Zone.
