Butcher, Cooper, Smith, Miller, Plowman, Shepherd, Stoneman, Woods, Fish, Brewer, Tanner, Baker, and I could go on and on and on…
… all fine old English surnames, all fine old trades, when we had such things as trades and tradesmen and “you are what you do” because unlike for example many of the nordic peoples that traced genealogy with magnus’s son and ingrids dottir as surnames, we used to go by trades and guilds, you were what you did.
We’d be fucked today, hi, I’m John Checkout-Colleague, oh hi, very pleased to meet you, I’m Steve do you want fries with that…. and allow me to introduce my friend, Mike government mcjob.
Everything you are told in the media is a fucking lie, even if there was once a grain of truth in there somewhere, everything you are told is a fucking lie.
Mary Greely (sp?) has a youtube channel and amongst other things she tracks yellowstone caldera seismic activity, in this at least she is fairly earnest, fairly honest, and fairly sincere, however, for all any of us knows she could be tracking it for the next thousand years and nothing happens, or it could already have happened as I type this and I’m just not aware of it yet.
Neither outcome is influenced by her watching it, and if it did happen tomorrow, you can’t even really claim she predicted it all, because she didn’t, she is just watching and reporting on something that nobody has sufficient data about to make cast iron predictions.
As the next messiah, Mary Greely is a failure, because she chose a subject that doesn’t really lend itself to future claims of omniscience.
The works of man however make a much better subject for any wannabe messiah.
It is a matter of extensive printed record that I stated, repeatedly, and in detail, and quite accurately, everything that was wrong with Pete Goss’s ill fated catamaran, and I started saying it before the boat itself was anything more than a design concept.
But, it wasn’t much of a reach, I knew Goss was a worthless publicity seeking cunt of no real talent, he had precisely zero skills as a boat builder or designer, nobody involved in the actual construction or design did either, not really, not if you know anything about naval architecture and construction, and of course lots of people never got paid, and of course the stupid bows broke, and of course the publicity seeking Goss endangered crew lives and abandoned a ship that was still afloat and drifting as a hazard to navigation weeks later.
And of course nobody was to blame.
Goss Interactive, a digital spin off, is still running and trading in Plymouth, they are still shit and none of the original people involved in building the Team Philips boat have ever seen one red cent of the money they are still owed.
I could say the same pretty much the same sort of shit about Elon Musk and Tesla.
This is the sort of subject matter you need to choose if you are going to proclaim yourself a messiah.
Or you can just take controlling interests in the media, or retail, or banking, or anything you like, and since you control the narrative via your controlling interests, you can just declare yourself a messiah, even though you never did anything or chose any subject matter to be right about.
Carly Fiorina, fucking genius, nobody can tell me why, but she is a fucking genius none the less, Ben Bernanke, Mario Draghi, Mutti Merkel, more of the same, all fucking geniuses.
I’m reminded of a Jasper Carrot (english / brummie comedian) sketch, in which he talks about a now defunct soap opera from the days where shit was filmed and broadcast live, by the name of Crossroads, set in a motel of all places.
Once of the central characters was a wooly hat wearing simpleton with a big heart by the name of Benny, who was the odd job man about the place, and his unrequited and platonic love for Miss Diane, one of the staff.
Carrot says, “Benny troubles me, is he really that retarded? Because if he isn’t, he’s a fucking good actor… and what’s a fucking good actor doing on Crossroads???”
And it is a good point, but we can substitute Benny for any of the above, and Crossroads for any of the above, and the conundrum is still valid.
I know what a very good actor *is*, it is someone who can play many many many parts equally excellently and credibly, with little or no cross pollination or common traits or mannerisms.
I don’t know enough about acting to be able to name any very good actors, every one that I can name isn’t, Captain Kirk as TJ Hooker, etc etc etc
Being a messiah about the impending economic / housing / debt crash isn’t much easier, not because you’re wrong, but because it’s hard to make anyone consider anything that costs them money, and for most people, the past 20 years have been the fat of the land, so Messiah’s get ridiculed and then shot.
He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy.
Being a sell out and cashing in is easy, anyone can do it, in fact basically everyone from the top down for the past twenty or thirty years HAS been doing it.
*SOMEONE* is going to get burned alive in the streets for it, the problem being that said scapegoats are far more likely to be the likes of thee and me, rather than those who were part of the problem, because the greatest ire is always reserved for those who were fucking right, and who positioned themselves not to be taken down with the sinking ship.
Meanwhile of course the “news” is full of tales of sexual deviancy, racist soap dispensers, and of course the latest aloha snackbar jihadi events all over europe, none of which are connected, associated with the religion of peace, soros, or anything else.
But huzzah, we have a brand new pink elephant H^H^H^ air craft carrier, shame about the aircraft, they are still awaiting software licences and windows updates before they can fly, still, makes a lovely target and plenty of pork and window dressing……
You know when I was a boy, for those retarded enough to be into superhero shit, at least it was fucking superhero shit, as in masculine and singular, wazzat, the evil russian criminal mastermind has an army of 10,000 and nuclear bombs?????
No problem, send in one male superhero to sort that shit out.
Nowadays it takes a fucking team, it’s a bit like old JC needing to team up with the noodly spaghetti monster, buddha, Zeus and Pelosi, before being able to throw the money lenders out of the temple.
Next week the United States of America will be renamed the United States of Benetton / Diversity, because that fucking Amerigo Vespucci mother fucker was a slave owning spick who used to beat wimminz, and coincidentally all US Dollars will be worthless overnight… yippeee… Keynesian wet dreams, the window is broken on BOTH sides.
Yay, go Red / Blue team, everything is the fault of Blue / Red team anyway, roll up, roll up, for another spectcular show…..
