Killer

Fake food makers and sellers are the new pharmaceutical companies, and "Big Pharma" was the beast that replaced the tobacco industry. It's disconcerting for lobbyists and other middle men, because if they can't skim off the top, who will feed them?! 

And that's the problem with stealing the flame from your neighbor's hearth: it robs everyone else in the tribe of life-giving warmth and protective light, forcing us back into the cold dark befitting scavengers who prey off the good that a torch-bearer brings, which means this in"Newspeak"*: evil does not change garb often, because it can't.

Bad people are not as good as us because they never have been, and they never will be. Oh sure, one can conjure up a false sympathy for the devil and his agents, but at the end of every day's light lurks a demon of the night seeking to benefit from creeping around the edges of a real society's earnest efforts. 

Let's not allow them to win in this century, eh? Time for the Dawn of a New Age. Let's begin this age of enlightenment today and every day afterward, until we get what we need.

*Newspeak is the fictional language in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, written by George Orwell. It is a controlled language created by the totalitarian state Oceania as a tool to limit freedom of thought, and concepts that pose a threat to the regime such as freedom, self-expression, individuality, and peace.

This is it

Snake oil salesman have been around since mankind invented the concepts of scarcity and abundance. The world still has small pockets of people who look to the land as the source for all their needs. They have no money, no property, no jails, no crime, none of the ups and downs that plague modern man. Of course, erratic climate changes caused by pollution are now putting these same cultures in danger, but woe be it to me to put that together with multinational conglomerates who sell cheap and addictive substances. That would be paranoid!

These villagers live according to the laws of Mother Nature. They are beholden to no one. Storms blow over their huts or drive away the fish and destroy crops. Not men. It is a life without artifice, a paradise of sorts that's based on reality. If a hurricane can decimate you and your neighbors, then there really is no need to invent phony sicknesses with quack cures and bogeyman that hide in the jungle at night.

 

Here in the Western World, we have no such luxuries. We invented a system that needs to be fed, and our lives and the land we inhabit is the price we pay for this mirage of prosperity. It's a psychosis that's gone beyond competing with the neighbors. It's about their destruction, albeit hidden behind a phony facade of "charity" while wrapping oneself in a flag and crying about the losses of Liberty. We are told what to buy, who we are based on what we buy, and what our purpose is in buying, from those among us whose best interest remains in maintaining the status quo. Do you really profit from their vested self-interest? Uh, no.

Let's be clear. We feed on greed to supply the need. We WANT beyond what we were designed as humans to handle and I have seen it drive people mad—doing things and then rationalizing them away in the exact same way any two-bit con does in jail about the break-in that went bad, resulting in two people dead. Your thoughts and your actions lead you somewhere, whether you admit it to yourself and those around you or not. This culture of "winning" based on lies and concealment is startling to buckle and crumble in this new time of transparency, and I am heartily ushering it in. Why? Because the hypocritical right-wing Senator who impregnates his mistress is finally getting his due. He's getting taped by her as he tries to blackmail and manipulate her into an abortion right after he stumped on the Senate floor about the "evils" of women's healthcare.

 

So. If you are someone who likes a steady diet of reality, welcome back. Let's pick up where we left off, with something to "feed your jones". It might come in handy the next time a Beverage Biggie wants to plead commerce and the joys of a supposed free market economy to you. You know, because it's all about "choices", not some artificially created campaign that's designed to pull you in based on your vulnerabilities. Nah. Can't be, right? I mean, that's how drug dealers operate and that's ILLEGAL. Conspiracy theories are for kooks and people who wear tin foil hats. But I say that a junkie by any other name is still an addict. Read on dear readers, and unplug from the matrix that surrounds you. There's gold to be had in selling snake oil and you are paying the price. Start making the connections.

The Unhappy Truth About Sugar

For today, I thought it pertinent to post this meticulously crafted marketing piece with a wonderfully ear-catching jingle that I can't seem to forget even if I wanted to. It really pulls you in, doesn't it?
