BUTSKI
AS PART OF MY
"liberals lise up"
series
as part
of my on going alert:
heres another idiotic
" be scared
be very very scared"
that happens also to be
an installment in the unending series
of sequals
BLOOD NIGHT
OF THE LAUGHING GHOULS (xyz)
THIS ONE ...
" BURN EARTH BABY BURN "
--------------------------------------------------
now
HERE'S
BILLY......IN VOICE OVER
------------------------
" There are times
when we well diapered
journalists see
stuff that
sends a shiver down the spine
shaking us from our neutrality"
------------- SHIVERS
DOWN SPINES?
AS TR WOULD ASK
WHAT SPINE BILL?
SHAKING?
WHEN DON'T YA
OUTSIDE A TEA CUP
AT ANY RATE
WE GET THE PROMPT
WATCH OUT
GOLDIE LOCKS
bears ahead
( by the way
as to
yer claim
to
a habitual quest for a fair
"neutrality"..........
let me tell ya
being
neutered don't make
ya neutral bill
let alone fair ) -------------
"This shiver shiver
has been happening to me
frequently of late "
" one story after another
drives home
the fact
that the delusional
is no longer marginal
but has
come in from the fringe
to influence
the seats of power"
------------- what?
delusional = fringe ?
the old vital kold war center
had
what if not delusions?
but they were shed and without shame
in the 60's
cause
liberals
have no cherished delusions
except due process
when their domestic hegemony
is threatened
temporay mirages rise up to jolt em
but they pass
all liberal crap passes
why ?
cause
" their agnostic fur baring
open mouth and mind
approach
to social truths works fine
till its challenged
then it beams up to the next neat stage "
" they
swallow all
thanx to their
elastic waste band
till it snaps back at em
like now when their
momentary delusion is
the fuckin low life
fringe has invited
itself to stay
even after supper
is cleared off "
its times like these
the liberal system
turns to
its otherside
the side
of " casting off
or pissing on
all quaint
ignorant pale face notions
der volk
no longer look like
c plus poets
nope
white yokel think
looks now
like
f minus science
the little pricks
desparately in need
further processing
and probably
by nurse Ratchet----------------
------------- bill of the bill of rights sees danger
and calls for
a change of hats
trick
easy for liberals
since their string
of scalps
is entirely made up
of voided ad hoc beliefs"
" liberal minds at their show time best
are constantly
in search of auto--de construction
butfuck
when all the fightin
space is gone
after
they wring their hands
after they hope
the higher power
they don't believe in
is as liberal
as tom jefferson
after all that seems to be failing
then
they go hysterical " ------------------------
--------------------------------------
"We are witnessing today
a coupling of ideology and theology
that threatens our ability
to meet the growing ecological crisis "
" This WHICKED combination
can make it
impossible
for a democracy
To fashion real-world solutions
to otherwise intractable challenges"
------------ quick version:
the bruts have been conjured
the right has
rallied the bible bashers
(the real third rail of amerika)
to 'hep wall street
win the global klass war
which
among other high spots
includes
the side show war agin
mother's nature
where
biblical writ
may single handed block
the road to an effective
"green majority" --------------------
"the assiduous cultivation
of religious constituencies
by the Bush apparat
and the undisguised intrusion
of evangelical leaders
and conservative Catholic hierarchs
into the presidential campaign......."
----------------blah blah blah
but
god bless
yer
east texas
methodist
cream of corn heart billly-jaw
for
that swipe at the papists ---------------
" The result is what
the Italian scholar Emilio Gentile
calls
"political religion"
religion as an instrument
of political combat"
-------- wops oughta know
about that
after all
wall street bankers
funded
a senseless
papist" holy water revival"
to help
stem the kold war
red belt tide there
circa '47 --------------
----------------------------------------------
-------------- after this openning blast
comes a following
filled with huge gobs
of self satisfied
secular wind baggery
blah blah blah
etching in soap
the heinously ignorant
flights of spiteful
lunacy
that abound
inside
the dirt clodded heads
of caucassoidal yahooery
but then
( fast on to senile )
billy
finally
gets to the point ......------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
"What has been less apparent
is the impact
of the new political religion
on environmental policy"
" Evangelical Christians
have long hooked
their view to the account
in the first book of the Bible"
" For many,
God's gift to Adam and Eve
of "dominion" over the earth
and all its creatures
has been taken as the right
to unlimited exploitation"
-----------------" bad enough
but now
Welcome to the Rapture!"-------------
" but far more ominously
many bibleheads
today
subscribe to a fantastical theology
concocted in the nineteenth century
by two immigrant preachers
who took disparate passages
from the Bible
and wove them
with their own hallucinations
into a narrative foretelling
the return of Jesus
and the end of the world."
------------ imagine how diff this would get told
if this were an out back bushmans
cycle of
white onslaught coping yarns
or 19th century
ghost dancers prophecy
from the end of the red mans
great plains --------------
"The plot of the Rapture
is rather simple
if bizarre......
Once Israel has occupied
the rest
of its 'biblical lands'
legions of the Antichrist
will attack it
triggering a final showdown
in the valley of Armageddon.
As the Jews
who have not been converted
are burned
the Messiah will return
for the Rapture"
" at which time
True believers
will be transported
to heaven where
seated at the right hand of God
they will watch their political
and religious opponents
writhe in the misery
of plagues—boils, sores, locusts,
and frogs—
during the several years
of tribulation that follow."
-----------------------imagine what
the antique romans
brought up on plato and euclid
felt
dealing with this very same
type of crazy fuckahoos.....
that is
till constantine
flipped sides
of course
but then augustine
called off
"the end watch" shit
and and and
after a few bad dumps
there was 400 years
of rather benighted
but pleasant
white man mental darkness -----------------
--------at any rate --------------
"What does this mean
for public policy
and the environment? "
" Listen to John Hagee
pastor of
the 17,000- member
Cornerstone Church
in San Antonio Texas
"Mark it down,
take it to heart,
and comfort one another
with these words.
Doomsday is coming
for the earth,
for the nations,
and for individuals,
but those who have trusted
in Jesus
will not be present
on earth to witness
the dire time
of tribulation."
------- enter stage right
the Rapture credo:
"The world cannot be saved "
so why sweat the smoke stacks ----------------
------------- to make sure we get it
bill runs this past us again...-----------
"appalling ethics
follow from this of course
because the faithful are relieved
of concern
for the environment
and everything else
for that matter
except their personal salvation."
--------------
side light:
the exclusive quest
for personal salvation
is
kinda of an each man for himself thing
now is that
too selfish for bill
or just
too falsely premised ? ---------
----------------nutshell II -----------
" The earth suffers
the same fate as the unsaved.
All are destroyed"
-------------------------------------------------
--------------- now the spooky head count -----------------------
" How many true believers
are there?
" A Newsweek poll found that
36 percent of respondents
held the Book of Revelation
to be "true prophecy."
------------ now a third identical bell gets rung ------------
"You can understand
why people in the grip
of such fantasies
cannot be expected to worry
about the environment
why care about the earth
when the droughts,
floods, famine,
and pestilence
brought by ecological collapse
are signs of the apocalypse
foretold in the Bible "
"Why care about global climate change
when you and yours
will be rescued in the Rapture "
------------at long last
he gets to
the link
with our political process
the moral majority
caught up in the republican rapture -------------
"fundamentalists
constitute
a large and powerful proportion
of the Republican base"
-----base
yes
large proportion
yes
powerful
non sense
nope
come job time
their skinned regular just like all wagery
but as a bonus
their bible
commands
job quiet
'thou shalt not covet
another white mans profits' --------
---------and as to
them climbin into
the party superstructure?
hardly worth a thought
pure anti bible bumkin bull-------
--------
why the shivers and shakes
seems innocent enough to me
every useful
base needs a handle
why not the good book
its already installed
right?
already
well tested
its
reliance
as a herding device
for bare foot ignoranti
is well established
and
used in the right doses
its been proven time and again
to lead to
no known
anti status quo side efffects...
' worse case
you got that 'render on to'
bidness after all "
and
as to the bashers own leaders
all their prominent leaders
are either happily bogus
or easily humored
while held
at arms length --------------
-------- here's a corker ---------
" environmentalists,
are routinely castigated
as villains and worse "
---------- but then ... -------------
"I am not suggesting
that fundamentalists
are running the government"
----------- okay then why this huff puff----------------
"but
-----------aahh the big old BUT BUT BUT ----------------
BUT
they constitute
a significant force
in the coalition
that now holds
a monopoly of power
in Washington "
"the Republican Party
for a generation
has been moved steadily to the right
by its more extreme variants"
---------- non sense
conflating wall street roll backers
with next world holy rollers
sure they share a similar shoe print
but idiots
thats cause
wall street ordered em that way
at any rate
here's
the real live
tango ready horse apples---------------
" even as the party
has become
more and more
beholden to the corporations
that finance it"
---------- "even as "
how lovely a copula...
usually in pseudo science
correlation
is illicitly
fobbed off
as proof of causation
but here
our prince
of the wide open ride
bronco billy
emasculates wall street causation
into a mere
correlation--------------
---------translation:
the bashery's leaders
follow
wally's blue print
i.e.
they're all gist
holy joe
stooges
dart about like pickerel
to this or that dictat
by our heros
the tower tot profiteers ----------------
"One is foolish to think
that these bible eaters
bizarre ideas
do not matter"
----------
shoot the flukey fucker right here and now
lets level this field here
fearing the patmos john menace
is silly
unless
the fuckin jack ass party
can not only
find the agitprop-ery
sufficient
to demolish once and for all
this
fool proof yahoo
bible spun fairy tale
and furthermore
unless
having done that
they in addition
could find a way
to actually move
these lowly religioed geeps
further up
their own thought trees
up
to a place
where they might suddenly cry out
" bingo
now I get it..."
and start
throwin
wall street bums
out their penthouse windows
and
threatenin to blow up
the korporate occ-upation kong-ress
IF THEY DON'T REPEAL THE PAY ROLL TAX .....
etc etc
GET MY DRIFT
ONE DELUSION MOSTLY TURNS INTO ANOTHER
CAUSE DELUSIONS
ARE EMBRACED AND CELEBRATED
CAUSE THAT PARTICULAR MIND DON'T
WANT TO FACE SOMETHING
OUT THERE IN TEIR LIFE
THATS ALL TOO REAL AND NASTY ------------
"I have no idea
what President Bush thinks
of the fundamentalists'
fantastical theology
but he would not be president without them"
--------- corrected line
"not be president
without their votes"
which iz
all the difference in the world
especially since
there are so many
other ways
to cadge their votes
lets make it easy
one question:
take away the bible crap
okay
now
could the jack asses
as presently configured
recapture
the votes of these straw heads ?
i say nooooooooooooooo --------------
" Bush suffuses his language
with images and metaphors
they appreciate
and they were bound to say amen
when the President sez
he's casting his vision
and that of the country
in the grand vision of God's master plan."
----------- so he panders
to these gospel rubes
so what
he panders
to the hard hat patriots
and
the defenders of souls unborn
the gun butts
and
the anti gay flea flickers too
okay
be kool
he hasn't resorted
to" my foots
on a blackmans neck ...."
but he could
and would
if he had to ......----------------
"This all
means one thing
to Dick Cheney
and another
to Tim LaHaye
but it confirms
their fraternity "
--------- fraternity?
please
symbolic bond sure ?
only not brothers
for the bibleheads
its way more
like
they're
some poor pack of georgia red skins
in their sadly
hope filled delusion
calling
andy jackson
" our great white father "
don't be silly
no way ....
their's
is but a caboose car
in the confederacy
between
these various
big and little players
there's never more
then a loose
joining together
of high low
interests
always
mediated by dollar bills flowing down
to a few shills
and up from many dupes
all deals
always
remain
one side voidable
i.e.
by
the tower titans
" in the light of yokel performance guide lines "
------------
"in a regime whose chief
characteristics
are ideological disdain
for evidence
and theological distrust
of science"
------------- how silly
to confuse bush and company's
clever agitprop
their well tempered
low station
pander -lingo
( as old as tippe canoe )
with
what ever the hell
their own
"inner sanctum group think"
might be ------------
" A powerful current connects
the administration's
multinational corporate cronies
who regard the environment
as ripe for the picking
and
a hard-core constituency
of fundamentalists
who regard the environment
as fuel for the fire
that is coming"
--------------- "fuel for the fire
that is coming"
nice line ----------------
" Once again, populist religion
winds up serving the interests
of economic elites"
--------
"ONCE AGAIN"
bad curve ball
Bill-bo
'pop -relig'
has its progressive tides too
look at Bryan -------------
" Not one includes
the environment
as one of their celebrated
"moral values."
--------- cause it isn't
its at best a healthvalue
and at worse
elite aesthetics ---------------
"I myself don't know
how to be in this world
without expecting a confident future
and getting up every morning
to do what I can to bring it about"
-------- see "he's a preachers boy" -----------------
" I confess to having always been an optimist"
------------- a methodist preachers boy ------------
" Now, however, I remember my friend
on Wall Street
whom I once asked:
"What do you think of the market?"
"I'm optimistic," he answered.
"Then why do you look so worried?"
And he answered,
"Because I am not sure my optimism
is justified."
---------- god this church bench is gettin
hard on my ass ------------
"Once upon a time I believed
that people will protect
the natural environment
when they realize its importance
to their health
and to the health and lives
of their children.
Now I am not so sure"
---------- so you've lost
your "rapture" story eh -------------
"It's not that I don't want
to believe this
—it's just that as a journalist
I have been trained
to read the news and connect the dots"
-------- see what makes a moyers better ------------
"I look up at the pictures on my desk,
next to the computer
—pictures of my grandchildren:
Henry, age twelve;
Thomas, ten;
Nancy, eight;
Jassie, three;
SaraJane, one.
I see the future looking back at me
from those photographs
and I say,
"Father, forgive us,
for we know not what we do."
------- now this leg a lamb
figures he's a pocket jesus ---------
"And then the shiver runs down my spine
and I am seized by the realization:
"That's not right.
We do know what we are doing.
We are stealing their future.
Betraying their trust.
Despoiling their world."
----------- now he's
the man of action
the second jesus
sir jesus of the cross ----------
"And I ask myself:
Why?
Is it because we don't care?
Because we are greedy?
Because we have lost
our capacity for outrage
our ability
to sustain indignation at injustice?
----no ass wipe its because there is no
one "we" in "us"
no universal gods choir -------------
"What has happened to our moral imagination?"
-----who's ?
hollywood's
billy graham's
charlie rose's
saul below's
who's?
ass hole
who's? ------------
On the heath Lear asks Gloucester:
"How do you see the world?"
And Gloucester, who is blind,
answers: "I see it feelingly.'"
------ here it comes grand ma ...----------
"I to see the world feelingly. "
--------- no comment -------------
"Why don't we all
feel the world enough
to save it—for our kin to come?"
-------- rhetorical question ---------
"The news is not good these days.
But as a journalist
I know the news is never
the end of the story"
"The news can be the truth
that sets us free
not only to feel
but to fight
for the future we want"
---------now its
' i see the world fightingly'
bull shit bill ------------------
"The will to fight
is the antidote to despair,
the cure for cynicism,
and the answer to those faces
looking back at me
from those photographs on my desk"
" We must match
the science of human health
to what the ancient Israelites
called hochma
—the science of the heart
the capacity to see and feel
and then to act as if the future
depended on us"
" Believe me, it does"
------- as a small isolated boy
in rural new hampshire
just me and my prim older sister
with nothing on tv
to watch
but liberace....
him there
in a screen made
of nothing more then
pearly grey mists
at his piano
his wing collar glowing
his
tails a flap
his pussy cat purr
the sudden
insect like
run and leap
of his
soapy long fingers
as he
chopped his way thru chopin
brilianteened black hair swaying
candelabra
blazing .....
somehow
a deading
whurl wind
a waltzing glittery
durge
eeeeh gad !!!
did it depress me ?
yes it depressed me
just like this moyer -naise's
ending
here does --------------
