Don't Fuck Santorum

[Simulist]

The "magic" seems pretty ubiquitous. We're all (some more than others) living in a sort of "cloud of unknowing" (and not the spiritually beneficent kind, as made famous by the medieval book of the same name). The "magic" seems to me to be the sorts of ancient and modern techniques — which aren't super-natural at all, but altogether natural if one possesses the proper knowledge and skill — that serve to augment natural human befuddlement. And it seems painfully obvious to me that such techniques do, in fact, exist.

In such a scenario, the less-befuddled emerge as victors.

(Power and dominance are all some people are really after, after all.)

Who do you think is "they," in this case? This is an important question.

CFR/Bilderberg. I know that's kind of cliche and John Birch of me, but it's also what I genuinely think.

Also, love the sentiment of this thread. I applaud Santorum every step of the way. Glad his poodle ass is keeping things entertaining.

They: The successor clans of the Roosevelt Hegemony. Bush, Kennedy, Romney, and some of their banker friends, the remnants of the sadly diminished republican opposition, and the ever present, mostly neutral, but impossible to ignore military leadership.

The War, the next big one: Obama the groomed orphan was setup for the big heist of 2008. Now I think there will be a dynastic President to sit in while the West is being piloted toward the next big conflict before the end of his second term.

The groomed orphan Hoover was setup for the big heist of 1929. A dynastic president took over from him and piloted the West toward the next big one that set up 60 years of ascendancy maintained by inexpensive minor spoiling attacks here and there (Operation Ajax, throwing a few bombs at Tripoli, etc) and a few carefully planned, massively profitable shopping sprees with the public purse (Viet-Nam, GW 1). I think the idea is simply to repeat the pattern.

I could be wrong, though.

Obama was set up? Precisely how much culpability do you envision this "groomed orphan" to have had in this?

I'm another adherent to the groomed orphan theory, as well as the rather cringeable Trilateral Commission, Bilderbergs and Council on Foreign Relations theory, though less from a fear of a "New World Order" stance since I think the predominating expectations there are nothing like what we can expect to see. As far as concrete names, I think that people like the Bush dynasty, Fuld, Dimon, David Lesar, Saudi Royalty, Paulson, the Goldman Sachs family (Blankfein, Sherwood, etc), as well as scores of hidden influential figures, probably had a huge hand in selecting Obama. But I also think that when a man like Jeremiah Norton is promoted as being some kind of architect or planner that it's likely just distraction.

It's a difficult subject to discuss because it's passe and kind of hackneyed, but that doesn't mean it's partly true. The money is just an expense for the magic show that's never meant to be recouped - like an advertising budget.

What's the likelihood of Obama spilling the beans in 2017?

There seem to be two species of candidates in the Republican primaries this year: those that can't possibly win and those that don't really want to win. Gingrich and Paul are fine examples of the latter. They are running simply to fill the coffers of their respective PACs. Romney and Santorum fill the shoes of the former, in that neither one of them has, by any stretch of the imagination, enough support to rally the party to victory. The evangelicals have pretty convincingly demonstrated that they'd rather vote for a moral retard like Gingrich than throw the lever for a guy who wears special underpants to commune within the environs of the sacred tabernacle. And Santorum, of course wants to outlaw contraception for married people, so he's got a bit of a problem with the base even at their most conservative. It's pretty clear that conservatives like to have sex as much as the rest of us. Rock me in the froth of ages.

The mere existence of the forty-seven primary debates was the first tip-off that the whole primary season was a fundraising publicity stunt. These guys have gotten more exposure than Angelina Jolie, who by the way would make an excellent president.

I think what we're watching is the deadfall fruits of the Tea Party tree of liberty finally showing their rot. The teabaggers may have been astroturfed, but the movement essentially destroyed the monolithic trust in the Republican party required for the faithful to believe that these scallawags would rock you in their caring hands and see to your welfare once they got your vote. That's all over for a wide swath of their electorate.

Jack, your vision of an entire country moved so far to the left by the sheer idiocy of a guy like Santorum that a true progressive party or candidate can emerge through this idealised Overton window is a fine thing. Once the austerity package is firmly put in place during Obama's second term there's sure to be some serious looking 'round for answers from a new daddy-god who can make the pain go away.

I'm a big fan of the groomed orphan theory, but Clinton's presidency demonstrates how the two-term approach can be handled. Simply tie the executive up in a meaningless scandal/defacto coup. Ask Gingrich for the details.

I Googled Obama and "groomed orphan", and found this site (this thread, in particular) and barackobama.com.

Isn't every servant of the empire that highly placed "groomed" to an appreciable extent, "orphan" or not?

I would certainly think so.

“My friends let me tell you…a night hardly goes by when I am not kept awake by the thought of men having sex with each other. And that is when, my friends, I do some of my hardest praying. It gets so bad sometimes I’m afraid I’ll wake up my wife and consequently I end up driving aimlessly around the seediest parts of town, thinking, praying, wishing, hoping and praying some more. I know that if I don’t stand up to this sickness now, I won’t be able to go from my front door to my car without having to chase off perverts who are trying to have sex with my dog, and then the dog tries to have sex with my leg and then somehow I am bestial by association. I wake up at night in a blind panic thinking there is an erect penis in my mouth…but that is not the only reason I believe the lord has chosen me to help carry His cross, oh no.

“You see friends someone asked me a great question the other day. Seeing as how I am saved why would I want to run for president? Especially if I believe in the Rapture, why should someone vote for a guy who believes he is going to up and disappear when things get really, really shitty? Great question. Obviously it means I need to pick someone who is not-quite-saved to be my running mate, so, you know, after poof, I disappear, he can step in and make sure this country created in god’s light remains on top of the shit heap of mongrel infidels who stain this paradise. Which begs the larger question, why vote for a guy who is going to go poof before you know who his almost saved faithy faith guy is gonna be? The answer to that question is simple, and true. The answer is faith an prayer, my friends. Most of the people who vote for me will disappear the same time I do and we’ll meet in the clouds and go live up in the sun with the holdy spirit. It won’t be easy to look down on all our unsaved friends…not even the homos who will die particularly difficult deaths.

“Maybe then up above the clouds inside the sun I will stop having these horrible dreams. I don’t know who to pick for vice president. Someone rational, someone full of faith, but new to it, a man who is the genius of his own flaws who can keep Armageddon running like clock work until all of us return from the sun to rule the earth with Jesus for one thousand years. I’m thinking perhaps of Eric Cantor, since he is a jew and can’t be saved. Plus, he is very attractive, at least I think so and is really well hung, I mean educated and experienced. Ahem. I think he can handle the uh...handle the uh....you know...the beast...

“These are my thoughts, friends. We must set America on the road to becoming the nation of god it was meant to be. It’s a rough road ahead. Together in faith we can make this a great nation again.”

On the way home from CPAC he gets in the back of the limo and watches Hello Dolly for the 14,678th time.

To his wife he says "You know I saw Tommy Tune in the Lobby of the Penninsula in New York and he is SOOO Tall, oh my god, and he doesn't look a day over 55!"

His wife stares out the window, wiping tears from her cheek.

Megadeth frontman likes Rick for president

By Michael Hinkelman
Philadelphia Daily News


Megadeth guitarist and vocalist Dave Mustaine has endorsed former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum for president.

Mustaine, a founding member of the heavy metal band from Los Angeles, gave props to Santorum in an interview posted yesterday with the website Music Radar.

"You know I think Santorum has some presidential qualities, and I'm hoping if it does come down to it, we'll see a Republican in the White House . . . and that it's Rick Santorum," Mustaine said.

The frontman admitted he was "completely oblivious" as to who Santorum was but said, "when the dude went home to be with his daughter when she was sick, that was very commendable."

Santorum left the campaign trail briefly last month after his daughter, Bella, who suffers from a rare genetic disease, became ill and had to be admitted to a Virginia hospital.

Mustaine, who was a correspondent for MTV during the 1992 presidential election, said he was also impressed that Santorum hadn't resorted to "horrible attack ads" on television, unlike rival candidates Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.

Santorum spokesman Hogan Gidley was unavailable for comment. A message on his cellphone said his mailbox was full and could accept calls.

I literally can't watch this stuff any more. It's low comedy with a giant budget. Nothing whatsoever distinguishes it from Madonna at the Superbowl.

It's the apotheosis of Classic Rack.

Sincerity, authenticity, honesty... These things just can't be faked, can they. People would surely see through it.
