It's the institutions -- handy buzzword

Add Pizza Hut to the list of companies no decent person has anything to do with:

Pizza man saved by gun, but fired for packin' heat

It's supposed to be the classic all-American self-made company, isn't it? It's been a while since I subscribed to the American Family Association's AFA Journal, but I feel certain Pizza Hut was one of the companies frequently cited for sponsoring trash TV. You know, like that other bastion of pure ameriKanism -- Quaker Oats, with the picture of the smiling Christian dissenter (circa maybe 1700) on the front of the box?

The Quakers really should have sued that company for even superficially associating itself with their movement once the trash TV era came along. And Pizza Hut should have at least been boycotted by Italians since the beginning. It has never been worthy of the name taste-wise. In view of this news, they richly deserve to be shunned by the public till there's nothing left of them! (You may laugh or say I'm tilting at windmills expecting traditionally Christian people to act this way, but guess what? It's exactly, precisely how the enemy has taken over.)

When I call Pizza Hut's products substandard it's no mere sour grapes, either. If it's possible for anything to taste less like pizza than this brand, I wonder what it is.

Being a passionate, habitual, sometimes acclaimed scribbler like me is a labor of love. (Try it -- it's literally good for what ails you!) You've got 26 letters, the average ameriKan knows only a few thousand words, political correctness is busily corrupting and stealing the meaning of every word that has any socio-political import, like a bunch of mischievous brats going down a street switching street signs at every corner.

The challenge is wrapping the right verbiage around concepts, one after another, in was that will not only register with the public but fire them up. One such challenge In summing up the forces arrayed against us, the people*, in pursuit of their antichrist "new world order" -- government, media, church, education, advertising, mega-corporations, banks et al. My chosen catchall term for these is of course INSTITUTIONS. Do you like it?

The bigger an more influential an institution gets, the more sheerly evil. I hate to even type in such a sweepingly negative, fateful thing, but somebody's got to say it. Can anybody think of an exception? Pizza Hut is typical. According to Wikipedia, two guys started the chain with a loan from their mother to buy used restaurant equipment, and is now an international phenomenon under the umbrella of Yum! brands, the world's largest restaurant company. This couldn't have happened in the USSR, China or India at the time -- then the world's three hugest aggregations of humanity -- but in the framework of American free enterprise the wheels of progress were well-greased.

How have they repaid The American Way Of Life? the Hut can't be blamed for its parent company's behavior, but aha, I see Yum! was "the most frequent advertise of trash TV" till nosed out by Subway. The Hut is either a star of that show or goes right along with the program!

Ha, "the lesser of two evils" -- somebody's got a sense of humor just right for this age of endlessly piled-up ironies.

Whatever your political persuasion, take a look and see if you don't agree that it's INSTITUTIONS that are working 24/7 to wreck the American way of life that made their existence and prosperity possible. With Pizza Hut's ban on drivers arming themselves -- and even firing one who did so to great effect, removing a criminal from the gene pool -- it is revealed as a shocking case in point.

This just in -- I don't get it, but it looks ominous:

Proof Corporations are Looting America

As I expected, the sensational news I put up yesterday has been revealed to be fake -- a "satire" as my correspondent put it.


*or as some people would ungrammatically put it, "the forces arrayed against we the people".

"Justice" Scalia to quit and leave US?

This shocker seems unbelievable, but it appears in the New Yorker magazine?

Time will tell -- like about 5 hours from now. (I write at 1 AM Saturday.)

http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport/2013/03/bitter-scalia-leaves-us.html?mobify=0
Bitter Scalia Leaves U.S.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Justice Antonin Scalia dropped a bombshell on the Supreme Court today, announcing his decision to resign from the Court “effective immediately” and leave the United States forever.
Calling this week “by far the worst week of my life,” Justice Scalia lashed out at his fellow-Justices and the nation, saying, “I don’t want to live in a sick, sick country that thinks the way this country apparently thinks.”

Justice Scalia said that he had considered fleeing to Canada, “but they not only have gay marriage but also national health care, which is almost as evil.”
He said the fact that nations around the world recognizing same-sex marriage are “falling like deviant dominoes” would not deter him from leaving the United States: “There are plenty of other countries that still feel the way I do. I’ll move to Iran if I have to.”
Throwing off his robe in a dramatic gesture, Justice Scalia reserved his harshest parting shot for his fellow-Justices, screaming, “Damn you! Damn each and every one of you to hell! You call yourself judges? That’s a good one. You’re nothing but animals!”
Breathing heavily after his tirade, he turned to Justice Clarence Thomas and said, “Except you, Clarence. Are you coming with me?”
Justice Thomas said nothing in reply.

"Bitter Scalia leaves U.S?" Not yet..... Nothing about it in Scalia's Wikipedia article -- it makes him sound like the greatest right-winger ever, but that would be news to me. Gosh, he took our side on the Voting Rights Act!?!?!

http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2013/02/voting-rights-act

I can't turn up any dirt on Mr. Scalia whatsoever, hmmm. He has weighed in (correctly) on Guantanamo-type issues, but other than that neither the above article, the Wikipedia page, nor anything else readily at hand even mentions the big big issue at hand -- ameriKa's quaint custom of raping other countries for Israel. Is that fine with His Honor?

Please let me know if you come across a lead in that direction -- but please, do me a favor and don't pronounce the gentleman's name with the accent on the second syllable. He's Italian, not Spanish, and there's no accent on the "i" even in his father's name, Salvatore Eugene Scalia. If anybody finds one we'll consider it -- but until then, please, no reflexive bowing to the PC currents of the time.

Another black spokesman against Obama

This is getting good!

http://www.westernjournalism.com/black-chamber-of-commerce-ceo-obama-is-tyrannical-and-borderline-communist/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
Black Chamber Of Commerce CEO: Obama Is Tyrannical And Borderline Communist

His name is Henry C. Alford. The irony here is that he (rightly) decries Obama's opposition of the "right to work", i.e. to choose and work your job without being forced to join a union. This is a very key issue you don't hear much about. Forced unionism is one of the means by which gliberals have claimed for over a century to uplift the downtrodden classes --that's right, they purport to believe stealing freedom gives you more of it. So again a courageous minority spokesman dares to just stomp politely all over the gliberal myths we live by. Why isn't the interviewer more enthused?

More on Mr. Alford and his NAACP-defiant organization:

An army officer speaks up

Does he realize that neither Soetoro, the fedgov or Homeland Security is going to pay him any heed whatsoever?

http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/03/army-captain-demands-dhs-give-up-their-weapons-of-war/#ixzz2Oh4cadIK
Army Captain Demands DHS Give Up Their Weapons Of War

He's undoubtedly come a long way in his thinking. Is he ready to serve his country out of uniform as he never did in it -- addressing its enemies foreign and domestic without fear or favor?

No doubt he dodged actual bullets in the heat of battle in his youth with the best of intentions, and has untold thousands of youths have done so under his command. Is he ready for his government to fire on his fellow citizens?

More financial frankness with Jim Rogers

So -- it's true. In this the allegedly most enlightened and sophisticated age through all ages known and unknown, what the smart, hip nations have done is so stupid that even this genuine expert can't find a precedent for it.

Jim Rogers: Never In History Has This Been Seen

Do you think there's a chance that education, prestige, and fabulous wealth are no sign of actual intelligence taking place? Is there intelligent life on earth? Helloooo -- anybody there?

Poor Jim looks older and so tired in that show -- thank God he's so popular with the media and willing to do one interview after another. Showing real acumen, he warns people not to take his word or anybody's for anything. India is the greatest consumer of gold, he says, but he has no confidence in the place -- isn't that interesting!

Jim Rogers on China's ascension, Wall Street's downfall and Obama's failure

I'm not at all sure I share his optimism for China's future. It is certainly is good to see it abandoning communism in everything but name. Slowly, but slowly..... I watched this documentary today, too -- and it is outstanding!

Meltdown Episode 1 - The men who crashed the world

Play it in the background as you work or game, OK? Produced by Al Jazeera, it shows every bit of the cinematic finesse of a high-dollar ameriKan documentary. Through it you are going to see the exact culprits named, interviewed, and nailed as far as that part went. (Alan Greenscam and scads of others are still on the loose, undoubtedly collecting bigggg speakers' fees.) Be warned, though, that it may leave you with absolutely no respect for the people running things whatsoever. They're either monumentally stupid or epically rotten, and both are a failing grade!

Further proof that the Greatest Country That Has Ever Existed has a negative IQ:

Yes, even the "worldwide" part applies to the Greatest Country: who else got the world consuming soda, chewing gum and cigarettes?

"Blame America first" -- an idea whose time is perilously close to where we're standing. I don't embrace it ipso facto, but wow, it's fun to take out for a spin every morning at 3!

TV set hemorrhages truth while Lew Rockwell is on; new buzzphrase -- "subscription to a false tax return"

Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr. is a pioneer of the saner forms of Libertarianism. If you loved our late Great One, you'll enjoy this show:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AfQnNosiwI
Lew Rockwell: Your Money is Safer Under the Mattress than in a Bank

What an interview -- how much politically-incorrect truth can be packed into four and a half minutes? When Lew calls banks the enemy, it's almost like having Dr. Clarkson back again. Our hero also preached repudiation of criminal and fraudulent debt (you know, like everything the Fed does). Lew's Wikipedia bio is quite interesting -- what do you know, he founded the Hillsdale College Press and the renowned school's famous general-circulation newsletter Imprimis:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lew_Rockwell

It gets deliciously mercurial at mention of Henry Hazlett among Lew's influences. I'd heard the name, but had no idea he was such a pioneer of free thought, died at age 99 the year after I moved to South Carolina


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Hazlitt

.......or that he succeeded H.L. Mencken at the help of the American Mercury magazine! Gee, I don't think Lew wants his name mentioned in the same breath as Hazlitt's. It's fine, even chic, to be Libertarian, but let's not go conservative here, huh?

................."Subscription to a false tax return" -- what can it mean?
