RIDDLER FOR MOD, 2014
DON'T BOTHER

It's a never-ending, self-perpetuating, all-devouring cycle.

Also, Nordic shouldn't kill himself.

Oh wait, it was Nordic?



...nah, lol, nevermind. Still too uncool to say.

It wasn't. Just making that clear.

I like the feminism thread better now. Just can't get into it as well. We're good, I think.

Wow, that had to be the worst episode of The Real Mob Housewives Paragraphs Of New Jersey/New York/Atlanta/BeverlyHills/Miami/DC that I've seen so far this year.

PS: Are you Carol Newquist? Jack says so. And he's a very smart guy. So?

(guffaw)

A tedium is a terrible thing to create.

Do I detect a a dark horse....mulebone..to run in this race? I think he would make a great mod..and actually has balls to go with it. And he has a professional background working with the neurotically impaired...

Untrue. It was twice, but definitely only to one person. So far.

Nah, lol, since you got nothin', I'm all set with stopping.

The easy way out. Figures. American. You all BS about being adults but you never grow up.

"Like, it's alright to act like a twelve year old if you're an adult cause you're not twelve anymore, see?" Fucking morons.

So I'm mod! And it's now an absolute power position, by secret decree. I run all of your lives! Mwa ha ha.

I did it by coup d'etat, last night. Post-modern, deep-state style. The decision was made, first in my head, that civilian authorities were no longer able to exercise sovereignty, so it's up to me to do so. No one even knows I'm in charge! And many will never even realize it. Let'em speculate. Let'em think the opposite of what is. Let the concept of "is" cease altogether to hold in their minds. Let them know nothing, and think what I tell them, and believe they thought of it themselves. So shall I rule, with no need of reigning, and grow, and prosper, and shape this universe in my image! Mwa ha ha.

Anyway, details on the Future Programme shall follow next week. I'm letting you have some total anarchy first, so that you'll clamor for my velvety hand on the iron fist. By that, I mean I have a Gigantor that I run by a modified standard television remote control, and also that, even with this awesome power, I have soft hands. Did you know that?

All that remains is the part where my forces seize the servers, physically take over the Internet or whatever it is that's delivering this service, and, you know, enforce my rule. (Maniacal laughter, etc.)

Honestly, this absolute power thing is already getting so tedious. I thought it was going to be all "off with their heads" and "cheer for me at the balcony" and buckets of champagne with the new elites and ministry staff kow-towing and women loving me and stuff. But there's still so much emptiness to the day. Sigh.

...

But seriously, this has been one of my funnest threads ever. Don't like it? There are so many more to click on! Thanks to all of you, including the ones among you in desperate need of a clue or a spanking. (Life will take care of the latter, no doubt. It always does.)

It's Monday, got a very busy week ahead, and probably more of the same after that. Must attend to business, so begins my break from here for a short or long while.

If any of you care for a serious take-away, consider the roots of my current rage at many of you:

This board has its pre-history in the refusal to accept the story about the September 11th attacks as handed down by a systemically corrupt U.S. government that was launching not one but a whole series of new imperialist wars that would claim many millions of direct and indirect victims. Without making the usual novel of it, there was a basic understanding here of how dangerous it was to allow this government to radically redefine reality without challenge.

And now? The successor regime has an official story out about the whistleblowers who have been hampering it: These guys are dangerous to security! They're only in it for themselves. They've gained possession of documents and are using them for dubious purposes. Maybe they're spies for China, maybe they're profiteers. Aw shucks, says General Alexander himself, I dunno, we can't figure it out ourselves. And he invites journos and bloggers to investigate, or to pull some hypotheses out their asses about what nefarious things these whistleblowers and government haters may be up to. And while the state takes concrete measures to menace these whistleblowers, detains them, interrogates them, threatens them with severe criminal charges, you end up seeing a group of supposedly dissident bloggers (and conspiracy merchandisers) who should be on the NSA and Co. like white on rice instead doing their own riff on the NSA's propaganda line: In this version, the menaced whistleblowers and journalists turn out to be actors of the same state that is menacing them! It's all a show, and you can tune out by turning off and dropping out. No particular evidence is necessary. Hunch and innuendo are, in fact, more effective than some boring evidentiary listing (just add a bunch of links at the end, no one is likely to follow these). Just accept that it's all a show, and you'll be the smartest of all the monkeys, and not have to do anything else, since anyway nothing will ever change.

And on top of that, these supposed dissident bloggers et al. end up advancing the exact same demand that the state has raised against the whistleblowers: that the whistleblowers must provide a public accounting of all documents in their possession. As journalists are threatened and called up before McCarthyite hearings, as the state makes demands for the return of the Snowden documents, as the state threatens journalists with prison if they do not reveal sources and methods, a segment of the conspiracy culture lines up with the government in demanding the same "answers" of the whistleblowers, and doesn't even see it.

And so, a number of RI members, including some who've been posting for a long time, consider themselves smarter than the universe by adopting this third echo of a state-run defamation campaign.

You bet this pisses me off, especially given the arrogance and stubbornness with which the inverse-reality logic is presented (anyone who isn't in line with this logic is a patsy for the propaganda!). The inability to learn is dismaying. (Tough shit on those who are going to try judo-ing that into some projection, etc.)

But whatevs, it's easy to get over-involved in these things and too excited about what some guy out of millions on the Internet is saying. Remember always:


http://xkcd.com/386/

So it's been fun, and engaging, and enraging, and fun again, but now it's 9 am Monday morning and I've got a lot of work to do. I'm taking a break for at least this busy week, and if any of you need to do the same: Consider yourselves authorized by your new Moderator Maximus the Universal Emperor of Truth and Beauty and Absolute Ruler of All Temporal Realms Known and Yet to Be Discovered, Riddlerus I to III. (The I to III is because cloning arrangements are in process to extend my rule at least through the year 701 AR. That's "Age of Riddler," a new calendar began today!)

Seriously, for the last time this board, which is only its people, especially the suffering admins and mods, not to mention the more prolific writers past and present, really is special. And so are most of you!

As Pele said (not just to his Daughter), "Love, love, love."

.

Finally, a reason to vote!

On edit: oh, looks like the coup happened last night! Congratulations. Saves me a trip to the polls. That's great, since it's frickin cold out there. Thanks, Jack!

now I have a reason to kill myself
