Sometimes, I reflect on how daily existence living in United Suckers and Assholes truly is an extraordinary, remarkable phenomena, an out of body and mind, an Alice-in-Wonderland Through a Looking Glass Darkly experience, the most accurate way I know to describe it.
It's fortunate, the luck of the dice or Irish, I continue possessing sufficient critical intellectual faculties, reasoning, memory, recall and my head remains screwed tightly enough on to my body to distinguish reality from fantasy nor do I yet suffer premature senility.
Otherwise, I would be intellectually lost at sea, bobbing and tossing about like a tiny mental raft, life boat in a vast, vanishing horizon point and propaganda ocean, searching with only a miniscule flash light at hand for truth, hard land, terra firma.
How can a nation be AT WAR and NOT know or acknowledge it??
How is this fundamental reality denied, accomplished, orchestrated, ACCEPTED??
This great, magical, Houdini disappearing feat.
Think about it.
Day turned into night, night turned into day.
A raging daily inferno exists in NAZI occupied IRAQ and, except for my own posts, and, PERHAPS, maybe, possibly, a few other individuals, the entire Establishment here, most everyone, pretends everything is fine.
No Iraq problems, no war, except some occasional parliamentary dickering and a few bombs exploding here and there.
Fantasy Disneyland.
The BIG lie technique repeated over and over.
Of course, NO independent, principled ORGANIZED LABOR opposition, the modus operandi, enabler, main reason, this magical fantasy land, not only Iraq, but, other, related domestic and international policies can be obfuscated, denied, swept under the magic carpet or beneath an oily crude ocean catastrophe.
Additionally, we have a "rent an opposition" crowd to augment a Corporate State created Disney Wonderland.
Anyway, as an occasional reality check I remind myself and those above, once more, what a REAL opposition looks like, from Greece, which, I repeat, gets NO organized, institutional US labor support, acknowledgment, recognition, solidarity, attention, whatsoever, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, consistent with those above and which I repetitively and redundantly highlight in many past posts:
#318 Strikes in Greece today; continuous updates
"...Today (23.06) is the date that the law concerning social insurance (or rather – destroying it) will be voted in parliament. As a response, grassroots trade unions are calling for a demonstration in Athens in the morning, at the time when the law will be voted in. On the other hand, the mainstream trade unions (GSEE, ADEDY) are calling for a demonstration in the evening – that is, after the law will have been voted!
At this moment (13.35 GMT+2) there is much tension at the port of Piraeus, as members of PAME (the trade union allied to KKE, the stalinist communist party) are blocking all entrances to the port, in solidarity with the dockworkers’ union, whose strike was deemed illegal by courts last week.
More updates from central Athens and Piraeus port as they come..."
