” Narcissists are possessed of inordinate abilities to charm, to convince, to seduce, and to persuade. Many of them are gifted orators and intellectually endowed. Many of them work in politics, the media, fashion, show business, the arts, medicine, or business, and serve as religious leaders.

… By virtue of their standing in the community, their charisma, or their ability to find the willing scapegoats, they do get exempted many times. Having recurrently “got away with it” – they develop a theory of personal immunity, founded upon some kind of societal and even cosmic “order” in which certain people are above punishment. ” ~ Hervey M. Cleckley

Politics void of policy

Prestitudes furiously produce “news” about: parties, persons, form, techniques, talking heads, publicity stunts, fractional gain/loss in poles, etc., – but never ever if our “representatives” are doing anything worthwhile.

The Pirate Party appears to be taking over just as the Best Party did locally.

In 2010 parliament unanimously passed a resolution about the SIC report, – and have since done absolutely nothing with it.

“The era of manufacturing consent has given way to the era of manufacturing news. Soon media newsrooms will drop the pretence, and start hiring theatre directors instead of journalists.” ~ Arundhati Roy

Now that we have one, – we can continue to enjoy the regurgitated BS they call news.

Even our FM took cookies to Kiev à la Nuland, – not doing to well at home?

Playing the Masses

 

“Fearful people are more dependent, more easily manipulated and controlled, more susceptible to deceptively simple, strong, tough measures and hard-line postures. … They may accept and even welcome repression if it promises to relieve their insecurities.” -George Gerbner

“Nothing to Tell but a lot to Sell”:

Occasionally programs like “The Mean World Syndrome” slip under the cultivation radar, interrupting our daily feed of glorified violence-pornography.

Giving up our money, freedoms and civil-rights in return for “safety” is in everyones interest, – right? Segregation from perceived danger and each other in gated communities is the optimal token of success?

Let the security services, preferably private, military, police, prison industry, lawyers, and strong political leaders take care of the problem?

The Armed Madhouse does have a dire need for enemies, preferably those who can’t fight back, to wage its endless and profitable wars.
