Davos 2024: A Rude Awakening*?

OOPS! OOPS! OOPS!

It appears that the Utopian notions of assuming and grooming worshipful conformity haven't quite jelled to 100%. Three invited guests of Davos 2024, Milei, Roberts, and Imani (see links below) blackened thousands of Davos eyes (Is), whereas Davos seems to have bruised only one (left) eye on Imani.

Freedom isn't going away and your perch in your “equity”-scarcity tree only presages a serious fall.

Our invitation: We'll bring a ladder if you confess and repent.

Fitzpatrick was born in Superior, Wisconsin. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago. From 1911 to 1912 he worked as a staff artist and cartoonist at the Chicago Daily News. Joining the St. Louis Post Dispatch in 1913, Fitzpatrick served as its editorial cartoonist until 1958.[2]
His work and actions received criticism. In 1940 the cartoonist and several other Post Dispatch staff members were cited with contempt of court because they criticized the dismissal of an extortion suit against a State Representative. Fitzpatrick received a ten-day sentence and a $100 fine. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_R._Fitzpatrick

Falltime for Hitler

If one is familiar with the fictional musical, Springtime for Hitler1 (1967), its sequel, Falltime for Hitler, was performed in the Canadian House of Commons on Friday, September 22, 2023 under the baton of Speaker Anthony Rota.2 We are not yet sure who wrote the original script, but it may, in time, be FOIAed. However, the plot seems vaguely reminiscent of Springtime ..., but with a Fall twist: something about a fraudulent scheme to fund some musical (chairs?) venture. (You know the one where chairs keep disappearing when the music suddenly stops without warning!). Something too about a “worst director,” an “out-of-control actor,” and a “producer-accountant,” scheming partnership.

Over the past three years, (as most of us already know), the Falltime script has been playing out in malls, main-streets, parks, playgrounds, gyms, jails, schools, salons, churches, courts, campuses, pubs, police lines, parliaments, and on and on — actually, everywhere. But the final Fall finale (we can hope) of this Fall sequel was the standing ovation for a Nazi veteran, or, as the original, fictioned producer of Springtime coined: “practically a love letter to Adolf Hitler.”

Certainly, that’s what it sounded like and with good reason, no, because that’s the tricky tune they have all been humming these past three plus years — you know, that P4 rap song: power, politics, pscience,3 and  propaganda; sometimes abbreviated to P3: public-private partnerships.

Anyway, since it’s Fall time, and almost everyone is falling over themselves to denounce the standing ovation, how about we denounce the entire script? Let it fall. Let it fall. Let if fall: not into some memory hole (like apparently the '40s), but into perpetual awareness of the frauds, pitfalls, and fallacies of Utopian notions and nightmares.

--------------------------------/
1. Springtime for Hitler: A Gay Romp With Adolf and Eva at Berchtesgaden is a fictional musical in Mel Brooks' 1967 film The Producers,[1] as well as the stage musical adaptation of the movie,[2] and the 2005 movie adaptation of the musical. It is a musical about Adolf Hitler, written by Franz Liebkind, an unbalanced Nazi originally played by Kenneth Mars (and later by Brad Oscar and Will Ferrell in the stage musical and the 2005 film, respectively).
In the film, the play is chosen by the producer Max Bialystock and his accountant Leo Bloom in their fraudulent scheme to raise substantial funding by selling 25,000% of a play, then causing it to fail, and finally keeping all of the remaining money for themselves. To ensure that the play is a total failure, Max selects an incredibly tasteless script (which he describes as "practically a love letter to Adolf Hitler"), and hires the worst director he can find (Roger DeBris), a stereotypical homosexual and transvestite caricature. He casts an out-of-control hippie named Lorenzo St. Dubois, also known by his initials "L.S.D.",[3] in the role of Hitler (after he had wandered into the wrong theatre by mistake during the casting call – "That's our Hitler!"). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springtime_for_Hitler

A Pictorial History of the CBC, et al.?

The Offending Twitter Bird
(from Pixabay.com)

Recently the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) was offended to the point of de-twittering itself because Twitter had labelled it as “government-funded media” — to the tune of $1.2 billion CDN$ or 69% of its budget.* CBC did not dispute the 69% funding, but cried foul (over the fowl label) because: 1) Canadian broadcast law ensures CBC's independence; and 2) a large gov't. appropriation committee votes on the (“public,” but not government!!!) funding.

But let us consider: 1) how much “law” has been totally ignored in the past three years (nay, centuries) in furtherance of power-plays and flawed narratives? 2) how often has public money funded government malfeasance worldwide without prolonged, intense, media scrutiny and exposure? and 3) how much history, human nature, and power-abuse do we pretend doesn't exist in order to deny the reality of this?

Twitter has apparently, without explanation, now removed the offensive (yet true?) label. CBC is pondering its wounded options.**

SMS note: Yes, CBC does have some great national and local programming, but too often, especially in news and narrative, programming seems to be the operative word.

The WEF School of World Coups

How to Grease a Coup in Nine Easy Steps:
1. discover young, aspiring, idealistic, trusting intellectuals worldwide;
2. help them identify as gifted, chosen insiders of a genius agenda for World Order (WO);
3. tutor the young elites – called Young Global Leaders (YGLs1), but hereafter called yelites; – and immerse them in Utopian notions of how to save a dying, chaotic, human-abused planet;
4. use Pavlovian, Watsonian, Milgramian, Bernaysian, (etc., etc,) science mixed in with pscience2 and enhanced with authoritarian psychopathy – the psychopathy being essential to quash “moral injury”3 with moral justification!);
5. send the psy-oped grad yelites out into a psy-oped world;
6. finance the yelites rapid elevation to positions of power and influence;
7. flood the yelites and entrenched alumni with talking points, privilege, and uncommon psense;
8. flood the sheeple with gaslighting and gaming;
9. jubilate as the new-normal servitude mirrors the old normal slavery with a technified super-booster.
If you are curious about who your up-and-coming yelites are, search here.4

If you want to see a yelite in action, watch Canada's Chrystia Freeland5 (another name irony from the Gods??? plus more face weather6).

NB: This is one of those PSRS projects:
Problem: not enough servitors of the Utopian Empire
Set-Up: surveil, vet, recruit, tutor, disperse, script, finance
Reaction: election and / or appointment of yelites to positions of public and private power and influence
Solution: gifted, gullible script-readers and train-bearers for the Emperor / Empress.

True Colors ~ D?

GOP Red posted yesterday
Democrat Blues: Confessions & Lamentations of “The Unknown Democrat” 
(:Summaries from various encounters at Democrats Anonymous in undisclosed USian locations:) 
(first published April 5, 2009 at Déjà Vu ~ Times*; so little has changed!)

Unfortunately, too many Democrats seem confused by the media’s “blue” labeling. Historically, USian Democrats have been closer to the theoretical left, which is not conservative (or big-business) blue. However, by this same twist-of-color, those Dem political rivals appear even more disoriented by their “red” label. They continue to proclaim true-blue conservative (plus b-b) values but have taken to furtive, authoritarian tactics and strategies. This GOP  dualism should be a huge Democrat advantage. Why it isn’t, is probably attributable to the USian monocle.
Unfortunately, even though Dems stump for the poor and needy, labor and small business, the middle class, and mother-earth, the reality is: big-business is more present, persistent, visible, and donation / perk-oriented, so Dems can’t always financially justify what is proclaimed or preferred.
Unfortunately, Dems would prefer to always honor the constitutional checks and balances, but executive orders and an imperialistic presidency (expanded by predecessors) are too useful and efficient to disregard.
Unfortunately, b-b lobbying is a fact of political life that pays personal and family dividends, both now and in the future.
Unfortunately, since the revolving door between business and government is too lucrative to bypass, exceptions, exemptions, etc. must be made to lobbyist-free commitments in order to re-access best, compromised experts for public service. This can make for public relations problems, but there is some consolation in the general shortness of USian memory and the abundance and frequency of their distractions.
Unfortunately, nearly every qualified candidate for elected or appointed office will experience moral-, tax-, or nanny-challenge in USian hyper-vetted, public-service contests, so PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, young Democrats, keep your nose, hands (yea, your entire portfolio) CLEAN for future service to your party and country.
▪ Unfortunately, too many businesses have become so big, pervasive, and interconnected that they cannot be allowed to fail; therefore prudent government must periodically step in to halt credit and capital free-falls in order to save the world from capital follies. It is regrettable that labor, small business, the average Joneses, the poor, and the common good** suffer disproportionately in these recurrent meltdowns. Dems would it were otherwise.
Unfortunately, bail-outs, stimuli, and deficit spending often reward the unwise, imprudent, corrupt, greedy, and capital-elites; not to mention mortgaging the vast, uncertain future — which Dems try not to talk about; but from one POV, if NOW implodes, there may be no future to worry about!
Unfortunately, big-business can cancel its pension, health-insurance, and contract obligations with past and present employees when restructuring; however, present government is limited in the adjustments it can make to CEO / management salaries and bonuses when bailing-out or resuscitating. On the brighter side, this may result in less GOP censure for offending The Myths of Big-Business, and also be less subject to campaign blowback by big-donors.
Unfortunately, despite Dem beliefs that laissez-faire economics should be less laissez and more fair; that regulations and taxation have purpose; that environment matters; that USians can be an inclusive, imaginative people; and that there are good alternatives to every bad idea; Dems are still mired up to the wallet-pocket in status quo. (Sorry, folks! is the Dem prevailing sentiment.)
Unfortunately, those persistent Dem political rivals are predisposed to repetitive leaps, generalizations, and mislabelings (e.g., calling Dems socialists, communists, Marxists, traitors, treasonists, “aiders and abettors,” wimps, crazies, scary, etc., etc.), which is targeted to electability and to make Dems think they must support regrettable authoritarian measures to avoid being labeled or seen as “unpatriotic” or “soft-on-terrorists.”
Unfortunately, sometimes it works.
Thus, unfortunately, Dems have, too often, been in the Congressional minority. Therefore, try to push through as much as possible when in the majority. Try not to be discouraged when in the minority. Try not to resort to neo-Con-Rovian strategies (unless necessary). And try to get elected somewhere other than Minnesota!***

True Colors ~ R?

Democrat Blues coming tomorrow

Neo-Republican* Redbook** (Ideological & Practical Samplings)

*sometimes known as: Neo-Cons
**Redbook : Not to be confused with other Red books.
 (first published March 27, 2009 at Déjà Vu ~ Times***: so little has changed!) 
  • Advertizing: the art of manufacturing desire and producing dissatisfaction, envy, and so forth, all in the greater cause of economic growth and free-market capitalism. A pillar of democracy.
  • American Covert Operations: secret interventions to promote democratic values and thwart anti-capitalists / anti-corporatists. These are necessarily secret to minimize the loss of American lives, values, and image.
  • Capital Facts: greed is good; selfishness is a virtue; paper and property have real and speculative value; and God is a free-market capitalist. (Cautionary note: His rhetoric can be deceptively regulatory, but do not be deceived. See Common Good.)
  • CEO Compensation: a means to confer and / or acknowledge prestige and power. Preferably attached to knowledge, expertise, and competence, but not essential. A fundamental of competition. Not to be confused with Efficiency or maximizing profit or Conquest & Plunder.
  • Common Good: A subtle, emotive phrase that is leftist code for Socialism and its more evil sibling.
  • Conquest & Plunder: the most efficient means of acquiring wealth and power. (See Efficiency.) Not to be confused with acquisitions & mergers, takeovers, British Empire (et al.), globalization, Haliburton, Charles Keating, CEO Compensation, Enron, Dot-coms, Abramoff, business subsidies / bailouts, American Covert Operations, and so forth.
  • Cooperation vs. Competition: cooperation was a Neanderthal necessity, but competition is the name of the greater game where the manufacture of desire (see Advertizing) supplies the demand for manufactured goods.
  • Depression: rare, commonly recurring, mysterious market-system failure characterized by negative growth (aka, bottomless market), pink-slip employment, low caloric intake, vaporization of financial institutions, and massive adjustments to real value and home ownership. Not associated with Deregulation or Poverty. Potentially eased by bailing out the VIC’s and substituting a Recession. (See Talking Points.) Alternately, the feeling one may have resulting from any of the above.
  • Deregulation: a capital fact that free-market businesses whose bottom line is growth and profit do best without oversight. Not to be faulted for Enron, Freddie or Fannie, Lehman Bros., the 2008-2010 mortgage meltdown, the recent corporate/bank supplicants, the Dot-com-cons, the former S&L problems, etc. And not to be compared to the Constitutional checks and balances mandated for government. (See Public vs. Private.)
  • Efficiency: that which confers maximum return for minimum cost / effort. A pillar of free-market capitalism. No to be confused with Indolence or callousness.
  • Environment: that which surrounds you. Not to be confused with lobbyists. Cleaning up the environment means cleaning up on oil and gas reserves from in or near national parks.
  • Fabrication in pursuit of true conservatism is no vice. Moderation in the denouncement of Liberals is no virtue. (See Public Speaking.)
  • Global Warming: a figment of liberal imagination and a scientific misappropriation of the heat generated by angry liberals. (Not to be confused with the righteous anger generated by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, et al.)
  • Indolence: the cause of Poverty. Tendency to be unproductive. Not to be used to explain the differential in production outputs of management and labor.
  • Invisible Hand: term coined by Adam Smith to explain the competitive market’s intuitive management of goods and services through self-interest. Not to be confused with Bernie Madoff (et al.), CEO Compensation, or vaporization of assets.
  • Litmus test for true Conservatives: God ______ America. God ______ those Liberals.
  • Military Spending: a spiraling growth-industry of destruction segued into reconstruction. To be inflated, conflated, and repeated as necessary.
  • Patriotism: 1) to support all American efforts (overt or covert) for the perceived safety of America, the liberation of all people, and the imposition of American capitalism; 2) to honor military service and sacrifice in all cases — except perhaps during elections, as in such cases as John McCain 2000; Max Clelland 2002, John Kerry 2004, etc.; and 3) to not question Traditional Values.
  • Poverty: caused by Indolence. Not to be attributed to Conquest & Plunder, medical crisis, layoff, Abramoff / Madoff, Deregulation, Depression, and so forth.
  • Public Speaking: opportunity to espouse small government and proclaim fiscal conservatism. Not to impact spending practicalities such as earmarks; costs to produce House or Senate majorities; subsidizing deserving VIP’s and VIC’s; appointing loyalists to bureaucratic posts; waging war; running deficits; etc. Also an equal opportunity to ____ those ____ Liberals.
  • Public vs. Private: government (of the people, by the people, and for the people) is a necessary evil and must be constrained. Free-market structures (of the few, by the few, and for the few) are pillars of democracy and must be allowed to self-regulate all growth and profitizing.
  • Right: there is only one Right, and it is us. Not to be confused with the 4th Crusade or with certain bombastic Reverends.
  • Speculation: 1) unsubstantiated rumor that Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand, CEO Compensation, hedge funds, derivatives, creative accounting, NASDAQ, the IRS, and the U.S. Tax Code are a volatile mix of this & that, which is not comprehensible by anyone with a PhD in economics; or 2) short-term massive gains by propheteers [sic indeed] of rising (or falling) values, real or imagined — see Depression; or 3) an unproven theory that market bubbles (aka, booms) cause virtual amnesia, leading to unexpected, déjà vu vaporizations (aka, busts).
  • Talking Points: saying something often enough makes it true — or at least believable, which is close enough. (See Public Speaking.)
  • Traditional Values: competition, efficiency, maximized profit, deregulation, supply & demand, individualism (as to corporate collectives), public virtue, uncompromising loyalty, anti-collectivized-labor, pro-collectivized-capital, growth and consumption, manifest destiny, truth (see Fabrication), certainty, affluence and influence, patriotism, good reasons, and re-election.
  • Transparency: A smokescreen is more transparent than an iron curtain. (See Environment.)
  • U.S. Constitution: A document of uncommon wisdom where WE, THE PEOPLE of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure fabulous prosperity to corporate persons and select others as being those who merit and deserve it, do uphold these preferential values proclaimed in this [as amended in practice****] Preamble of the Constitution for the United States of America. (See Talking Points.)
