Commence Two Minutes Hate
Well, you can’t say we weren’t warned. On this date in 1949, actually. And again in 2023. And again, and again, and again. …

There is too much of that hate already. We don’t need to give old Eric Blair another bag of popcorn to watch us disintegrate.
Thank God I’m old. I don’t see this getting better any time soon. If ever.
Meanwhile, chemtrails! Eight states working on legislation to ban something that doesn’t exist. Next up: The “Monsters Under My Bed Act.”
Wow. And I thought our own Legislature was bad in spending time making tortillas the Official State Bread. At least that is humor without negative consequences.
Wonder what would happen if all the airlines said “Ok, no flights into our out of Louisiana”.
Hmm. They have cancer alley along the Mississippi south of Baton Rouge and they’re worried about chemicals from jet contrails? They must be spiking the congressional etouffee with a little too much LSD.
“Laissez les chemtrails rouler,” as they say in The Big Easy.
Big Brother has been with us for a long time. He keeps adding to his knowledge of each of us every day. Where you go, live, work, bank, befriend, meet, wed, shop, and visit is known. Add into that data every government record on you the federal and state government possess. Give multiple artificial intelligent algorithms access to the data, and they know everything about you. Chances are, whether by choice or necessity, you carry Big Brother with you every where you go. Welcome to the future. Going dark is possible but extremely difficult.
I read a piece somewhere (should’ve bookmarked it) about a guy who went dark and now teaches others how to do likewise. Holy mackerel, was there ever a ton of heavy lifting involved. And in the end, no real guarantees. It was on a par with one of George Smiley’s spooks inserting himself into an Eastern Bloc nation under a deep-cover identity.
Aha: Found it.
Don’t forget the private sector, with charge card receipts, computer cookies, etc. Total Information Awareness is both public and private. I suspect Uncle Sam even knows when I take a shit (our water meters have remote reading capacity) and what brand of toilet paper (Costco) I use.
In the Privacy Wars we basically surrendered without firing a shot. And now everyone has their own personal rat fink tucked away in pocket or purse.
“Goot afternoon, Herr O’Grady. Sank you for assisting ze Fatherland wis its inquiries. Ve haf a complete digital atlas of your wanderings over the past two decades. You vould perhaps care to give ze details of zese meetings and rallies you haf attended? Attach names to faces? Ve haf vays of encouraging your cooperation . …”
And you think all those store cards were just to give you discounts and coupons? They are selling your data to anyone who can write a check. Still using google, facebook, and twitter? Instagram? Tik fucking tok? Data brokers combine data from all sources and sell it. Like Patrick said, that milk has spilled, and it’s stinking. There ought to be a law, right? Political parties and campaigns are in line to buy that data too. What to do? Use a browser that doesn’t track you. Use an ad blocker on your internet connection. Turn off location services on all your devices. Don’t subscribe to auto navigation services. Don’t turn your phone on when you carry it unless absolutely necessary. Clean out website data on your devices at least once a day. Third party website data is on your device, including facebook, twitter and google cookies and caches, from other websites you go to. Proper rant mi amigo?
“I’ll get you, my pretty … and all your personal information, too!
It’s a “speed hump” for sure. Didn’t even get a free dinner. Chapeau, Patrick
Ah, Rat Fink. All hail Ed “Big Daddy” Roth!
Uncle Sam? No. Bezos? 100%.
PS: The two minutes of hate is happening right now in LA. Just as planned.
In my dream world all Americans would STOP giving money to either the R or D campaigns/causes. Starve them of oxygen. They have become giant money grubbing machines, which if they’d kick out a soda or Snickers bar to us on occasion, would at least give us something sweet. Let’s remember that the protesters in the Vietnam and Civil Rights era were typically not of either party. They were just pissed off Americans who were branded as Dems. But most hated all politicians regardless.
Aw hell…since I’m up on my hind legs again….
Dream world part 2- All the National Guard soliders would be reminded every morning that tRump has called them “suckers and losers” before they go out bashing heads in. Even if tRump didn’t say it, since there are no recordings of it, we all know he would for sure say it if he wanted to. The military and cops need to be reminded that he’s willing to have them take any/all fallout from his orders while he’ll be out cheating at golf.
