Is dis a culchar? This is a culture in the way that that mysterious oleaginous, sewer scum taffy on the Petri dish could be called a culture. It\u2019s horrific and fascinating in the way that a bad traffic accident appeals to rubbernecking death and dismemberment junkies; cue the zombie buffet, catering department. It\u2019s horrific and fascinating to watch the whole shebang slowly and then not so slowly, picking up speed like a global warming snowball, filled with a multitude of toxins with unpronounceable names, gathering steam on it\u2019s way to static entropy. The steam is some kind of cold fusion of wicked shit from (Tribe founded) Monsanto, Dow and Dupont, in tandem with all those Swiss serial poisoners, living where the dirty money makes its bed in between, during and after wars created by the dirty money. Yeah, the dirty money bunks in the politically neutral (we don\u2019t fight in the wars, we just make money from them), clean streets wonder world of Captain moneybags land. It\u2019s truly bizarre to watch all the self important suits, going about their business as usual, while the whole collapsing infrastructure, trembles above their heads. Their beady eyes gleam with the fire of greed and acquisition at all costs, betting for this, against that, for and against this and that and the only one who loses is you. Derivatives are economic porno. They just keep on keeping on. They see nothing but the promise of gain and care not a wit for anything else. This is one cancer for which death is the only cure.<\/h5>\n<h5>In light of this, it behooves me to link the online website for<a href=\"http:\/\/terebess.hu\/english\/tao\/bynner.html\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"> The Way of Life by Lao<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Tzu<\/span><\/a>. If you need a guide book for getting through failed cultures and social experiments gone wrong, this is what you need. He\u2019s got an answer for everything. Of course, the people who need to read it won\u2019t. They prefer to have that seemingly well worn copy of Sun Tzu\u2019s \u201cArt of War\u201d on their desk. They haven\u2019t actually read it. They had one of their interns rough it up so that it would look like they had, so as to impress clients.<\/h5>\n<h5>Meanwhile, the fast food virtuosos of WE Be Holocausts are working overtime on their construction of <a href=\"http:\/\/desertpeace.wordpress.com\/2013\/12\/15\/commemorating-the-rainbow-holocaust\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">the ultimate theater of the <\/span><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">absurd<\/span><\/a>. You won\u2019t be able to turn a corner anywhere in the world soon where you don\u2019t run into one or another kind of memorial, whipped up on money stolen from you, in honor of yet another flavor that left Heinz\u2019s 57 varieties in the dust long ago. \u201cVe vil haf more holocaust franchises zen Starbucks und McDonalds has outlets!\u201d and if you do decide to \u201cfart in their general direction\u201d, they\u2019ll <a href=\"http:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2013\/11\/22\/tech\/innovation\/apparently-this-matters-shreddies\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">make you wear one of <\/span><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">these<\/span><\/a>.<\/h5>\n<h5>I don\u2019t know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=85432\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">what this<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">means<\/span><\/a>. Besides being against the law, it\u2019s in poor taste to employ anti-Semitic math. Only the bankers know how to properly employ math; part time and with no benefits. Well, what do you expect when the poster girl for the culture<a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5889581\/meth-addict-accidentally-burns-down-worlds-fifth+oldest-tree\"> <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">happens to be this fresh young<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">thing<\/span><\/a>? That really says it all doesn\u2019t it? Damn, it makes me want to rip off my shirt and walk out into the streets and let fly with several verses of \u2018America the Beautiful\u2019; \u266bOh beautiful with wasted skies and endless waves of pain, thy steaming landfills travesties above the looted plain\u266b, followed by a rap version of \u201cOnward Christian Zombies\u201d. \u201cVisible? What\u2019s with all the negativity? You\u2019re just mad because you\u2019re not getting serviced by Kim Kardashian with a strap-on.\u201d Yeah, maybe. Maybe that\u2019s it. Maybe it\u2019s when she asked me if I wanted a lubrication cocktail of Vick\u2019s vapor rub and Krazy Glue that caused me to hesitate. You do know Kim does Reiki with a handheld TSA body scanner? Right?<\/h5>\n<h5>For some reason, it\u2019s always the Asians that embrace the worst aspects of Western Culture. You see it in Hong Kong, in India and <a href=\"http:\/\/worldnews.nbcnews.com\/_news\/2013\/12\/15\/21851418-cant-afford-gangnam-style-plastic-surgery-korean-teens-resort-to-diy?lite\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">definitely in South<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Korea<\/span><\/a>. Rats! I\u2019m being negative again. What I need is to try to see the beauty in it all. I need to get into an ecstasy threesome with Marianne Williamson and Ekhart Tolle, on a futon woven out of hundred dollar bills, \u201chand me that vibrator with Donald Trump\u2019s head on it; Donald Ducks? Quack! Quack! It speaks!!! Now for a little echo chamber work.<\/h5>\n<h5>I see it in front of me. I see it in the windshield of my Samsung monitor. I see it in the peripheral hallucination zone. I see it forming into a face in the magic mirror of the toilet bowl. It speaks!!! Ah well, another day, (in my case) another day. \u201cBut Visible you don\u2019t play nice. You could be on the fast track if you\u2019d just go along with the program.

Nothing to see here, keep moving, remain calm and. Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!<\/h5>\n<h5>Western culture has turned into a massive shit souffle. Mind how you take that out of the oven! The East is no better. Both ends of it all are managed by international corporations whose massive profits ensure that all political structures will remain docile and compliant. It\u2019s a rat-fucked romance between elected bodies and connected bodies. The Empire of the Flesh is on the ascendant.<\/h5>\n<h5>No&#8230; Don\u2019t sit there confused and perplexed. Don\u2019t wring your hands in helpless dismay. There\u2019s not much you can do with placards and a bullhorn. They\u2019ll just laugh at you. Tomorrow\u2019s another day and then another and before the week is out you won\u2019t be there anymore. You can only work on yourself. You can only refuse to contribute. It\u2019s the ignorant and indifferent that make it possible, wandering around in a mesmerized corpulence, through the aisles of Wal-Mart, chattering away about meaningless trivia on their cellphones, text messaging Twitter with the latest \u2018yeah\u2019 and \u2018nay\u2019 about something so irrelevant that I\u2019ve already forgotten it in the process of writing about it.<\/h5>\n<h5>Corporate rape is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.environmentalgraffiti.com\/featured\/most-incredible-earth-scars\/16808\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">a voyeurs <\/span><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">paradise<\/span><\/a>.

Merry Christmas!!!<\/h5>\n<h5>I don\u2019t want to leave you with the result of what you\u2019ve been exposed to so far. Let your heart swell with gratitude because&#8230; because you\u2019re not doing these things. Bask in the aura of inexpressible gratitude that you are not setting policy for Nestles, that you are not lunching with Astro Turf munching Janet Napolitano, that you are not in the munitions industry, that you are not a guard at Gitmo, that you are not so many things that no decent soul could countenance. Give thanks that though you may be living on the margins and lacking many things, you do not lack a conscience or compassion. Be very grateful you do not lack an awareness of what is taking place in the world around you and that you possess the necessary restraint to refuse to engage in the evils operational on all sides. Be grateful that you are not a steroid enraged policeman or a murderous military automaton who is only following orders; \u201c<em><a id=\"yui_3_5_1_3_1387209603457_817\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rVLDJHMGcQ8\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">sign ze papers old<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">man<\/span>!<\/a><\/em>\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>Always remember, no matter how bad it may \u2018seem\u2019 to be, you are nowhere as bad as you could be and as others have evidently chosen to be. Yes, at the moment, fortune favors the profane. Enormous fortunes are being made by the most despicable kinds of people. Fame is bestowed upon superficial cretins. Nothing makes sense in the present order of things. Talent is on the verge of being outlawed. Manners have gone into the dumpster. Never fear, it is only for the purpose of demonstration. You\u2019re not shooting dogs and defenseless college students.
