The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western world. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity – much less dissent.

They’d privatize your assholes if they could get away with it!

Malcolm X correctly referred to these Republicans and Democrats as “wolves and foxes.” Indeed, they are the joined-at-the-hip “Republicrats,” the corporate/military surrogates of the 21st Century.

[1] Live, Island Masters, 1976 came with a WARNING: THIS DISC CONTAINS LANGUAGE OF AN EXPLICIT NATURE THAT MAY BE OFFENSIVE & SHOULD NOT BE PLAYED IN THE PRESENCE OF MINORS. “Their method is basically a stream of unconsciousness, a mixture of Dylan Thomas and Mae West, with overtones of Goethe. At a time when British influence is declining throughout the world, Derek and Clive represent welcome evidence of what this great country could be. They are a ray of hope on a darkening horizon. Their philosophy is both an inspiration to youth and hope for the senile.”
DEREK: I’ll tell you, the other day some bloke came up to me and …..
CLIVE: What, Tony Newley?
DEREK: No, no, I don’t know who it was, and he said, “You cunt”.
CLIVE: Yeah.
DEREK: I said, “What?” He said, “You cunt”.
CLIVE: Yeah. And you replied, “You fucking cunt”.
DEREK: I said-, I-, no, well, not straight away, I said, “You cunt”.
CLIVE: Yeah, yeah, yeah, …..
DEREK: And then he said …..
CLIVE: ….. what’d he come back with?
DEREK: He come back. He says-, he said, “You fucking cunt”. I said, “You calling me ….. “
CLIVE: You’re joking! He said, “You fucking cunt”?
DEREK: He-, yeah, he said, “You call me a cunt, you fucking c-?” I said, “You f-”, I said, “You fucking cunt”.
CLIVE: I should hope so, “you fucking cunt”.
DEREK: I s-, I said, “You fucking cunt”, I said, “You fucking come here and call me a fucking cunt”.
CLIVE: I should say so.
DEREK: I said, “You f-”, I said, “You cunt”. I said, “You fucking cunt”. I said, “Who you fucking calling ‘cunt’, cunt?”
CLIVE: Yeah, what did he say, cunt?
DEREK: He said, “You fucking cunt!”
CLIVE: Well, you fucking cunt, who are you to say to him that he was a fucking cunt?
DEREK: Well, what d’you fu-, what d’you fucking think, mate, I fucking de-, defending my fucking self, weren’t I?
CLIVE: Well, no, he come up to you, call you “cunt”, …..
DEREK: Yeah!
CLIVE: ….. that’s fair enough, what he said, “you fucking cunt”, and you said back to him, “you fucking fucking cunt”.
DEREK: I sa-, well, …..
CLIVE: Well, what do you expect him to say back apart from, “You fucking stupid fucking cunt!”
DEREK: Well, I don’t-, I don’t expect nothing, do I?
CLIVE: No.
DEREK: But the f-, the cunt come back with, “you fucking cunt”, cunt.
CLIVE: Well, Christ, …..
DEREK: I said, “You cunt?” I said, “You calling me a fucking cunt …..
CLIVE: Yeah.
DEREK: ….. You fucking-”, I said, “You fucking cunt”.
CLIVE: Jesus Christ, yeah.
DEREK: I said, “You-”, I said, “You, you fucking cunt”.
CLIVE: Yeah, what-
DEREK: I said, like that.
CLIVE: You said it like that, did you, …..
DEREK: Yeah.
CLIVE: ….. to him, …..
DEREK: Yeah.
CLIVE: ….. or was he gone by then?
DEREK: No, he fucking hit me. Fu-
CLIVE: Hit you, did he?
DEREK: Yeah, fucking cunt.
CLIVE: Killed you dead, did he?
DEREK: Nah, he-, he fucking hit me. I said, I said, …..
CLIVE: Yeah, well, you can’t blame him, can you?
DEREK: I said, “You, you rotter”.
CLIVE: Yeah.
DEREK: And he-, he went off.
CLIVE: Did he?
DEREK: And he said, “You cunt” again.
CLIVE: Well, ‘t’s the only way to deal with him, ‘init?
DEREK: Yeah, well, I-, I showed him, didn’t I?
CLIVE: Yeah, well, you had to, didn’t you? You had to stand up for what you stood for, didn’t you? I mean, the only time I remember a similar occasion was, I was in, errm, I was at Spurs, Tottenham Hotspurs.
DEREK: Yeah.
CLIVE: I was watching a game against Arsenal, and this bloke come up to me and said, “Hello”.
DEREK: Oh no …..
CLIVE: And I thought, “Christ!”
DEREK: Yeah.
CLIVE: You know, this bloke comes up to me, says “hello”, …..
DEREK: Provocative fucker.
CLIVE: ….. fucking provocative.
DEREK: Mmm.
CLIVE: I said, “What d’you mean, ‘hello’?” And, do you know what he came back with?
DEREK: Yeah.
CLIVE: He said, erm, “I just meant, ‘hello’” I said, “Hur hur, I can sussed you out …..
DEREK: Yeah, right.
CLIVE: ….. right, for a starter, …..
DEREK: Yeah, right.
CLIVE: ….. ‘ere, get this in the bollocks for a start!” So I kicked him right in the balls, he fell to the floor, and as he fell to the floor he said, “Euuughh!” I said, “Don’t you ‘Euuughh’ me, mate!”
DEREK: I-, yeah, like he comes in with ‘hello’ and then goes out with ‘euuughh’.
CLIVE: Yeah, I said, “Don’t you ‘Euuughh’ me, mate!” and I kicked his fucking teeth in!
DEREK: Yeah.
CLIVE: Then he went, “Aaaghh!”, and I said, “Fucking hell! …..
DEREK: I said, “This is fucking too much”, eh?
CLIVE: ….. Don’t you fucking ‘Aaaghh’ me!”
DEREK: Yeah.
CLIVE: And I really kicked his ear in, you know.
DEREK: Yeah, yeah.
CLIVE: Bunged him right in the ear with the left boot.
DEREK: Yeah.
CLIVE: And, d’you know he still had the audacity to come out with, “Hugh-eugh-ugh-eugh-ugh I’m dying!” Well, what could I say to that? I just walked away. I left the situation. I wasn’t going to be, you know, put upon in that way.
DEREK: You weren’t going to be dictacted to, were you?
CLIVE: Well, no, why should I be dictated to?
DEREK: No, exactly, no.
CLIVE: By some cunt who says ‘euuughh!’
DEREK: Yeah, preceding it with ‘hello’!
CLIVE: Yeah. ‘Hello’ was the worst thing, that’s what got me going.
DEREK: Fucking cunt, yeah, what a cunt.
CLIVE: What a cunt, eh?

–> How do progressives, leftists even, deal with the fact that ‘their’ candidate/savior is PRO-Death Penalty. This must be unprecedented! Progressive and yet supporting one of America’s most embarassing legal aspects – to be among a group of states that the US has described as rogue states. Obama is FOR the death penalty EVEN after his state’s governor commuted the sentences of all on death row because of research by Northwestern U. [I think] students who discovered that some 200 [?] people who had already died were done so unjustly. The Republican governor made a moral stand and paid the price. Americans will not stand for a moral stand that reveals nothing but wimpiness. I wonder if all these Christians [Obama?] would ever find Jesus putting someone to death? To me it is immoral and corrupts the entire wash basin where they all try to wash their hands of issues like this.
I heard that Obama supporter Spike Lee was wearing a big Obama tee shirt and is a big supporter. Isn’t he the same mediocre filmmaker and dusty thinker who would claim that the death penalty is basically at least slanted, probably racist in how it is applied… Then don’t bother with Obama’s timid approach to the drugs industry/lobby and overhauling medical care, his stance on abortion is difficult, siding with sympathy for anti-abortionists and saying he would look into banning late-term abortions, his stance on the military is expansion and more money and muscle.
NCADP [anti death penalty) notes that Obama is pro-death penalty but he is also pro-let’s not execute the wrong guy: “Five years later, Obama waded into a complex capital-punishment debate after a number of exonerations persuaded then-Gov. George Ryan (R) to empty death row. Obama wrote in his recent memoir that he thinks the death penalty “does little to deter crime.” But he supports capital punishment in cases “so heinous, so beyond the pale, that the community is justified in expressing the full measure of its outrage by meting out the ultimate punishment.” (more…)
