Displaying 121 To 150 Of 202 Comments Yes Virginia, There is Class Warfare It did reflect that side…I remember as a kid being near horrified that people like potter could even exist. Then as i got older i was more horrified to actually run into them.. » Posted By chazmania On March 7, 2011 @ 10:28 am Thanks. Yes every time i have had to quite that way (not that i have a whole lot) and was a bit scared at first i never regretted it latter…Mater of fact it always led to better things…These days i don’t need to or would tolerate many fools.. Oh and this one….A known A hole of a Boss came over to me once giving me his usual rash of crap and i looked straight at him and stopped his rant by saying LOOK this is a stupid job get someone stupid to do it, i quite.. And i walked out listening to him yell YOU COME BACK HEAR IM NOT THROUGH WITH YOU…You cant quite I FIRE YOU…I put my hand up behind me and gave him the one figure salute and never looked back… » Posted By chazmania On March 7, 2011 @ 2:54 am Exactly……man the smarts on this site are off the hook…you guys n galls are great! HP {SPIT} » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 10:39 pm Wow what a great piece….One problem that struck me right off is we have to account for the fact that WAR and trauma have the effect of erasing empathy..brain scan studies also showed that as a person develops fear and empathy can not exist in the same region of the brain one tends to push out the other this can even happen in adults but is less hard wired…Abuse in all forms creates a deficit of empathy…We have to solve a lot of historical trauma to regain the empathy we are loosing.. Maybe what needs to be done is figure out why if its OFFICIAL abuse and suffering its OK and ignored but if its oh well an act of nature well oh all right well i can have empathy there no one will fault me.. » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 10:34 pm One of the effective gaming strategy’s is to put out the lie and by the time you retract it its effect has been done.. and your apology gets buried on page 20….I cant remember the great quote on this but its a lawyer maneuver… » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 10:08 pm Once i lost a job and got simultaneously screwed out of a whole lot of money by a well known corporation that nearly put me in the road… » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 9:56 pm Im weary of 60 minutes….They have done a bit of propaganda themselves…Maybe not intentional but they operate out of a very similar corporate model as the MSM. they repeat corporate speak far to much for my taste… But im glad to see this story even though its hart wrenching.. One thing that angers me the most is children suffering for the ills of adults.. The Real news network i think is an excellent source of more honest journalism…i contribute to them as well as the POV now.. » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 9:50 pm You know i always loved its a wonderfull life..that quintessential Hollywood movie..But even as a kid something never sat well with me and always irked me..That George baily never went and saw the world never built great big sky scrapers never advanced beyond the little town even though all that is really beautiful too.. but i always felt it was some subliminal propaganda message to keep me home raise a family work a menial job…Be a drone Well i ran like hell!!!!!!!! Still Zue zuez peddles….who cant get all smosshy over that! » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 9:37 pm Excellent….I have a bit of inside info and can attest to Southwest and how the management are very much on the side of employees..They work together with mutual respect for the most part…of course the mental shift necessary is still a way off to undo some ingrained beliefs as to roles of boss and employee.. I quit jobs because of the disrespect and abuse of boss’s that believe they are entitled and seem to hang the pink slip over everyone’s head to get away with it. Oh and every time Mr Bossy was not around to muck up the works being bossy things seemed to go quite smooth till he showed up again.. » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 9:25 pm I always said if the people could drop all that R vs D BS facade and come together on common ground it would be something the plutocrats have NO match for.. » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 9:01 pm Interesting take Cherny..Think your on to something. Oh and HP {spit}…….HA i just love that! » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 8:34 pm You made me think.. We are still living with the “feel” of the 50’s good life…we have the conditioning but not the reality any more…we have the left over residual patriotism of a bygone day. Add that to the mind numbing MSM propaganda machine turning people into corporate cubical zombie drones and you end up with a society of people suffering from corporate Stockholm syndrome..they now sympathize with their captors… » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 8:27 pm Do you see how they are trying to make the IDEA of it common place? accepted as the norm…forget the poor create an economic model that has only the top earners considered… One can only hope they start to devour themselves.. » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 8:21 pm I keep thinking the one defining factor in helping us come back together is if it serves the common good…that is to say the whole common good..mankind’s common good, not a small percentage of gaming strategists wealthy elite that only seek to enslave and exploit everything and everyone for the shear joy of the power feeling they get from it…the psychopaths have taken over and that is the real war… » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 6:19 pm I so Agree…..I loath the lot of them..they are soulless shit in human skin… » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 6:13 pm I thought so.It was a great post!…glad i could add my two cents…:>) » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 6:06 pm Exactly why Lieberman and his cohorts are trying to remove that from our advantage… » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 4:15 pm SOOO true…. » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 4:13 pm I had the same thought moments before i read your post… » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 3:58 pm Great article ADLIB….you said basically everything i have been trying to crowbar out of my skull… » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 3:33 pm Transcript Theater SpecialEdition: Off Camera Moments from Charlie Sheen’s ABC Interview I don’t watch TV anymore and have NO idea what all the hoopla is over this guy.. TV IS A MIND KILLER…..IT WILL ROT YOUR SOUL… except Craig Ferguson.. » Posted By chazmania On March 9, 2011 @ 10:39 am Changing the mental blocks to change WI gives me hope as well… » Posted By chazmania On March 9, 2011 @ 2:19 pm Thanks…I have done a few things these days to gather signatures for voting measures and pounded the pavement a bit..even attended meetings and protests but every time i do this stuff i feel like im spiting in the wind. or like the problems are so much larger then these well meaning folks trying to do at least something… I will check out your suggestions.. Maybe if i feel i was doing something other then bitching to the wind i might feel less frustrated… » Posted By chazmania On March 9, 2011 @ 2:15 pm It is toxic Abby…But it does reflect unfortunately the greater world out there. And THAT is what is so sad and frightening…So much ignorance and misinformation..so much of it its become so convoluted that its no wonder people are only navigating on emotions and NOT critical thinking..they rely on fantasy thinking based on feelings not truth or real evidence because of all the skewing of everything..you cant trust anything is real anymore..leaders and officials lie with conviction and title. » Posted By chazmania On March 9, 2011 @ 1:47 pm Thanks Cherny… That helped me to better deal with the idea of doing both.(im your choir)..HP {spit} was real draining on me too and i am really contemplating NOT going back for all the reasons you pointed out…i got very discouraged on there dealing with the level of ignorance duplicity and mental twists of those people on that site not to mention the inane moding problem and the sight technically a frustrating nightmare.. The Planet has all these brilliant deeply good people on it..the contrast is so huge and the feeling i got hear is light years more mature kind and civilized..I felt near Abused on the HP {spit}..(that never ceases to please me to say {spit})….. That i feel like never going back to that place. » Posted By chazmania On March 9, 2011 @ 1:39 pm I get the feeling that my article is seen by some as nonsense..or that the zeitgeist idea is more of the same nonsense. I like to think i am a lot more objective then some bullhorn preacher on the side of the road.. What if its correct and the denial will be the one reason it ends up coming about? » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 8:02 pm DId i skim? hmm i have been known…sorry. And I think your idea was if we don’t change the mindsets of greed aggression and the psychopathic tendency’s of our people as well as leaders we wont see any change at all… Great linked article below on the psychopath in power…i don’t agree with its assertion that civilization had to grow out of a psychopathic mindset but it does make some interesting points on how and why they seek power.. http://dissidentvoice.org/2008/05/beware-the-psychopath-my-son/ » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 7:32 pm Thanks Abby…I have to say i learned a few things along the way and am better for it…One thing i think really comes out is the way i was so quick to pound on people that disagreed (HP trauma) And get things Wrong as the reason to pound and then off you go with two really good people at each other…boy that divide and conquer is deep in our culture now that we good people are even succumbing to it. One thing that is bothering me hear at the PP is the fact i may be only preaching to the choir.. And the real battle for the minds is back on the HP even though its toxic….HMMM must contemplate » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 7:23 pm The reason people fall into those roles so easily is becasue they are already predisposed indoctrinated into certain beliefs about those roles….The Aristocracy has every reason to perpetuate those roles..and we see now how the corporatist keep perpetuation the roles as master servant.. Back in the 70’s a smiler study was done with students being prisoners and prison guards..they had to cut it short due to the trauma that was happening to the people involved both prisoner and guard.. I did some minor acting in NYC when i lived there and when you put on a costume you even surprise yourself how quickly you take on your idea of who and what that costume represents.. » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 7:08 pm Yeah i know it was just a mind sidestep…I have a massive fever at the moment and cant be totally responsible ha ha……I know the whole Zionist thing is a very touchy subject for people still… The reason i mentioned it and i guess not appropriately is that just like we see the corporatist as a group of people that share a mindset the neocons can be seen to share a pretty clear mindset as well and this is NO different for the group that call themselves the Zionists..the difference of course is the highly effective narrative preached for years created a belief that to be against a Zionist you are against all Jews and therefor automatically a racist bigoted Jew hater..that idea Zionism and Jews are one in the same allows this seemingly logical leap. ah the fear works wonders.This false narrative has been purposefully cultivated to use the very tactic of accusations of racism and bigotry and the dreaded label “ANTISEMITISM” to obfuscate and hide the corruption and manipulation that group has become incredibly adept at..Yes i know i know this so smacks of bigotry on the face of it But it truly is NOT…If anyone really knew me they would know there is not a racist bone in my body… And we shall NEVER fix any of it if we chase windmills…. This Documentary may shed some light on cultural brain washing. » Posted By chazmania On March 6, 2011 @ 6:52 pmComments Posted By chazmania
The one boss i wrote about earlier was one..
He had the chairs in his office lower so you sat way down from him. And when i shook his hand i wanted to wipe it off on my shirt the same way. i remember leaving his office and thinking OMG its potter…I just met a potter!
Its the subservient brain washing that corporate America has done to people that is creating the self perpetuating wage slave.
people said he was so furious that they really thought they saw smoke coming out his ears…
Ah fond memories….And you know what? I still did fine as always becasue i never ever buy the hype…
Look at the helicopter massacre That the USA military targeted at journalists…we hear about it and ….crickets….
Or torture….now its accepted? as our norm? Hati has a swell of empathy but we tortured the first three basically innocent victims in quantonimo to death and again …Crickets…..
The mindsets and belief systems around all of this needs serious examination as well as the tendency of humans to worship so called authority figures…or who can shout the loudest and meanest in our societies..
Its one thing to have a great leader and another thing to have a psychopath that spouts off like one.
Once when i was in court all i did was say i have this and that evidence right hear on my desk., i said what it was and the judge never asked for it..the whole court knew what i had but really never knew for certain i never had to prove it.. but the idea was placed in everyone’s mind and i think swayed the outcome…
that is how these plutocrats operate…they only have to get it in the popular psyche and they win…
It can happen to anyone..
And that is the thing,, these corpopyrates do this to the whole country and then if you fall victim they say its becasue you are to blame… Some of us just cant find it in us to be a corpofacist that parasites off of others..Some ethics maybe, so we fall from the system…the system steam roles over us..Some get lucky and regroup others never do.. and the KIDS! they are the ones that do not deserve it.. they are the ones that will be the next Jerad longner’s… But the Plutocrats don’t care they will make good future soldiers to play war games with…
I saw the world..I did things most people dream about..
I could tell story after story but people would think i am lying and bragging..Maybe it was my travels that opened my eyes wide to people and places and the real beauty of culture and diversity..
Most people never leave the small community they are born in and inadvertently have a very narrow skewed warped perspective and a lot of seemingly arrogant insistent on that point of view…
I always end up telling them wile they have the shocked look how dare i quite that this is a reciprocal agreement, i work you pay on equal terms or go get stuffed, i don’t tolerate any of that arrogant Boss nonsense most people have seemingly sold their soul to…
Its funny the people perpetuating the R vs D battle are not the average people that have to live it they are the well taken care of politicians and plutocrats themselves that do not believe a word of the crap they spew…
They know its a ruse to keep people divided….
I have a respect for the Anonymous people for having no clear leader to take out..its a collective..seems a possible idea?
I do think some clear idea of what to use to rally people together is a good move..redefine the adjectives..
What phrase or title to put on the movement..
Something that both sides can agree..granted many far right people are far too gone but a lot of people that have no clear direction for their own angst over the systems abuse i think need something that is a universal battle cry in the class war we are in…
Any thoughts?
I guess its hard to keep up with those accounting tricksters huh?
So it seems its another wag the dog bait and switch maneuver our government have become so adapt at playing with the real purpose of striping more peoples rights from them effectively creating the eventual plutocracy..(takes breath)
The problem i see is the culture they have created creates more of them…
This article below i don’t agree with totally but its an interesting take on identifying them and removing them…We do not have a clear idea what is a sick mentality or a way to identify that and remove it…its a difficult thing that can be too easily abused so we ignore that and the psychopaths roam free..
http://dissidentvoice.org/2008/05/beware-the-psychopath-my-son/
Whenever i am sure the power structure is pulling a wag the dog i am chastised for being a conspiracy kook…
The psychological warfare is the real enemy..
It is interesting to watch peoples perceptions shift. First an inkling of hay somethings wrong here, then they reach a critical mass the shift takes place… We are still in many ways like a school of fish or flock of birds that follow the pack…That is how the power structure exploits the people, they know to use the collective tendency to all move as one if prodded just so…This can also be a danger to their control as they know that if the people ever found out they have been manipulated and conned the shift would be hard and devastating to their power.. What i do find bizarre is when things like the CITIBANK stuff comes out or the Military abuse of civilians is released the people seem to be still catatonic to it.
But i suspect they still take it in and it will have an effect…
Its like when i tried to explain something to my young son and he looked at me like i was out of my mind, it was the seed i planted..then latter he said something that i realized OH he got it..it just took some time to process.. I am hoping this is the case with the People..the shift will take place eventually when it becomes to hard to ignore the weight of the chains they are waring.
The thing that does not make a lot of sense is that they are reducing the peoples ability to even pay them.. But i guess the idea is a slave is an expendable resources that when one drops there is always a replacement. (thus the anti abortion thing)…
It really is strange that the people don’t get it. that YES it is a WAR..Or if not a war an abusive relationship between the powerful and the people…
I worked for an ogar of a boss once in a studio…He was very disrespectful of “the help” and sucked up to the clients..He was so two faced it was sicking..I thought about why and figured that I cost him money, they made him money…My stock line was i am just an expensive tool that lives in the tech department. Its all the mindsets and attitudes that are the core sickness. And our cultural indoctrination into the “trickle down” belief system… Americans are loosing the war becasue they have adopted this corporate cultural belief systems as true, and adopted it into the society at large…its cool to be a corporate dick these days, Its cool to figure out how to game people, how to undermine them, this way you don’t need to succeed by your own merit but by the tripping up of a fellow human being..this is the core sickness the wealthy warriors have used as a cleaver psychological warfare tactic…

I hope they also prevail in Libya..
I feel like we are up against a whole physiological battle for sanity on this planet..
The core of the problems not being addressed just the symptoms… I see the way governments and corporations are manipulating popular thinking and beliefs and i want to scream my bloody head off “YOU IDIOTS DON’T YOU SEE”
The thing is any one with real cognitive skills ends up here, the rest will be swayed and flounder around like zombies.
Im glad i found this place. its helping me get back to where i once belonged…
I may as i am compelled at times to keep an eye on the loonies least they try and sneak up on me and eat my brains.
I love this Monti python movie for the very fact it points out the ridiculous mentality or the far rights fear tactics.
but one can say the zeitgeist movie are doing the same..
Its kind of easy to just mock it and that takes the severity away…(not saying you are) just made me a little uncomfortable to think yikes am i being one of those preachers?
But one thing is clear we are facing a real environmental brake down and the video is not just a bunch of no nothing religious zealots.. the people interviewed and speaking are in the top of their fields and are trying to warn people legitimately about whats in store if we do not change our ways.
I do get where your coming from yes we are an aggressive fanged cruel animal that seems to never be satisfied..maybe it really is an ingrained unchangeable trait that will eventually be our undoing…But i also see a lot of really beautiful aspects of people (not enough these days) and an amazing potential for inventiveness and progress that pains me we squander most of it. I think you said this too.
One problem we must solve is this idea of us or them…its killing us all.
I think my point was maybe how we say these things could change as well…not so much this is how it is, but this is how it was, now what can it be going forward.
And everyone’s reactions are so….Mature! Im not used to that at all…
Another aspect this brings to mind is how to undo the hair triggers we all seem to have cultivated living in these trying times…And to undo the chasm of seemingly divisions that i don’t think are all so big…I think we all truly want the same things.. i even think the tea braggers want the same thing they just have no cognitive ability to realize someone is manipulating their anger in the wrong direction..
and yes change is hard for many who have found a comfort zone..even abuse victims some times have a sense of comfort in the abuse…
They have figured out how to navigate it so they are OK..I think this is our present society..the corporatist are abusing us and we are allowing ourselves to be victimized becasue we see no other alternative becasue they have eliminated all other alternatives..
Still this is based around what you believe and what you have been taught to believe..NOTHING is written in stone…that is the one human fallacy, there are NO absolutes and that belief gets us in trouble

You just mention anything as critical of it and everyone’s first reaction is “oh this is racist” or bigoted oh i cant agree i may be seen as associating with those anti Semite skin heads or west baptists crazies….Its an ingrained Pavlovian reaction now..It sure works wonders for keeping people off the trail though huh?…
We all have no problem bashing away at neocons.. they have no such weapon to hide behind.
If you watch the power of nightmares by Adam Curtis you can see the time line of the indoctrination of the current cultural belief systems you have all gown used to that have been systematiclly created managed and sold to the people of the USA by people that never believed a word of it..and if you dig deeper you start to see the Zionist connections behind it….Conspiracy? that is so easy to say to stop the debate as it does so well. But if you consider the whole all the evidence some circumstantial and some not you start to see a clear pattern emerge that shows what i am saying is actually occurring right under everyone’s nose…This is not only a CLASS war its a psychological war..
