Then he can go back to agenda 1- destroying the gullibles who were and are too tired to think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-66545259131230028122019-07-24T22:58:18.610+01:002019-07-24T22:58:18.610+01:00The dreaded has happened. What we feared the most ...The dreaded has happened. What we feared the most has come upon us ( or some similar Bible quotation).<br /><br />I'm not claiming to have superior knowledge or psychic ability.When i said what i said it was as much down to venting my frustration as anything else. I knew how it would play out.I knew because i observe and take note and i retain and compare. It's easy when you keep the distractions to the minimum. I have no social network platform i read or use; I've never been addicted to a computer game, farmville or candi crush or the like. I don't see what the addiction is and follow that to death ( game of thrones etc).<br /><br />The point is, the game has never changed in our time.The rules are the same. The bosses are the same.The dishonesty is the same.But todays politicians are more corporate than political; more business than academic. They lack the finesse and craft to mesmerize, distract and baffle the masses.The public 25 years ago would have seen right through the dishonesty then but those politicians were on the ball. They had to be.Back then we had a tiny amount of TV channels and no infinite internet.Distractions were nothing compared to todays. We could focus on them and listen and react.So they were trained well. As were the police and the media who did their bidding.<br /><br />Today, the collective attention of the population is diffused. It has a finger in a thousand unimportant mind numbing directions and think far more about the spats between judges on BGT and celebs in a jungle.The last 2 general elections saw less votes cast than any BGT competition.That alone is a sign of the times.It goes some way toward an explanation of the possible reasons that a pair of complete elitist, arrogant, ignorant arseholes who look like a Grimms version of Tweedle Dee and Dumb have become the leaders of the allied forces who are trying to rule the world. We're getting the alleged wants of the public as we're a democracy.The implication being - look, democracy is useless..we have Don and Boris.<br /><br />Bring this up to a wife / husband / partner / friend. As long as it doesn't clash with Eastenders / BGT/ Strictly or The Jungle, you might get a conversation.The likelihood, however, is that you'll hear about 'a discussion on FB' or an 'angry tweet'. All as the tumbleweed rolls down the quite streets outside Whitehall and Westminster.<br /><br />Recently, as the US 'go mad ' on twitter and fb about Trump's latest bullshit and the UK do the same about Boris, two groups have picked up pace angrily; One is a huge group formed online to 'sweep' Loch Ness for a monster; the other to 'storm' area 51 to find the aliens the pentagon have been hiding. Because they're more important than tyrannical Nero-esque rule of two morons or the thousands of homeless and jobless and the ill.These are the same people who will laugh by default at your 'conspiracy theories' about politicians but be the first to tell you that 'they're all the same..liars''.<br /><br />Ask me again how we ended up with morons lording it over us....<br /><br />ZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-79982599140799576222019-07-24T22:05:10.606+01:002019-07-24T22:05:10.606+01:00"We are about as close to Armageddon as we ar..."We are about as close to Armageddon as we are ever likely to be."<br /><br />Rather dramatic Ros - but why mince with words. (I really wanted to insert "but I digress" here but it becomes meaningless when used all the time)<br /><br />Surely rather than "Armageddon" it should be a time of rejoicing for you and Corbyn fans as it is probably the best opportunity for the Labour party to come into government.<br /><br />As you say "Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell, have literally had years in which to prepare for this eventuality." So why the doom and gloom Ros? <br /><br />DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-47733471921540132172019-07-23T19:41:01.599+01:002019-07-23T19:41:01.599+01:00100% agree with you.100% agree with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-4632379811688986652019-07-23T18:14:58.360+01:002019-07-23T18:14:58.360+01:00This probably won't be the most popular post, ...This probably won't be the most popular post, but, you 'asked the audience' recently and it seems Ziggy had read the script to the letter.<br /><br />http://cristobell.blogspot.com/2019/06/ask-audience.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
