Where am I?

What day is it?

What am I doing?

It's nothing for nothing if everything's gone

Going through motions in abandoned hope 

Wave at the moon, feeling a dope 

Tail chasing cats circle the globe 

A grand dance of our pretended relevance 

An homage to the void we say to avoid

 The death of the 'why' 

Cause 'why' kills the lie

 In silent lullaby 

The wages of sin as death pays the rent 

But run from gifts that are heaven sent 

Claiming the future must be bent

Threads: Debby's Dollar

"Harry, whatever happened to that woman who legally demanded you stop writing about her?" 

"I told her I wanted one million dollars." 

"You're kidding!" 

"They got that kind of money. She said she'd discuss it, that it meant that much to her. Then I changed the price to a dollar."

"Bet she jumped on that."

"No, she 'no longer wants to discuss this'. See, when your money possesses you and you sold your soul, giving up even a dollar is too much."

Threads: Bondsplaining

Bond didn't notice the empty cigarette package (a classic tradecraft drop), nor the waiting car with its lights on, nor apparently anything else as he drove his car out the dank parking garage. 

But, of course, he saw it all. He ruminated in his mind the various scenarios. Coincidence? Amateurs? Pros making it obvious to deflect? He even debated circling back.

Few miles down the road Bond came to his senses with a recriminating sigh. "I'm bloody well bored, I am," he declared in half a whisper.

Threads: God Not Bless The USA!

People wonder why Agent Orange isn't in the grave yet. Simple. He's protected by God - just as Hitler was.

 

No way was God going to let Germany off the hook for putting a monster in power. Not way would his time be cut short and let Germany get less than their due. By the end, the Germans were putting their children on the front lines. 

 

We sink lower every day here in the USA, reaping what we have sown. Agent Orange has exposed greed as our one true religion as we too sacrifice our children. 

 

 

Threads: Guiding Youth

"See, kids, it's like this. It's a jungle out there (as you all know!) and I've got one word for you, OK? Are you listening? 

 

"Stockholders. 

 

"Increasing shareholder value is Nature's number 1 rule for survival. 

 

"Number 2: Always wear a suit. Get a LOT less time for doing hold-ups in a suit!

 

"Number 3: Don't screw anyone without thanking Jesus first. Doing that makes you better than everyone else.

 

"Tomorrow is a field trip to a private equity firm as they sell off assets and lay off people."

Threads: Bondspotting

A soldier of sorts, Bond had bouts of PTSD. He didn't mull over them, it's just not what a professional does. But he recognized the wounding. 

Now, nine years later, he passes by in a cab a site of sinister time, chased by agents in the night, every shadow a demon in disguise. 

Remembrance pounded his heart: removing his shoes to silence his steps, trapped by walls and water, no way out but one. They had to of been waiting for him. 

Perhaps in his stealth he caught them napping. Bond knew not.

 

Threads: Lennon's Peace

"Faith in the future, out of the now." 
-Lennon 

As it stands right now, that does not exist for the world. 

Gandhi, the Kennedys, MLK, Lennon - we shoot all the truth-tellers and now none are left. The die is cast and our efforts to deny the obvious are quite comical.

But when Lennon wrote that lyric in 1973, he was scaling heights of life to a place where few dare tread. He went onward from there to achieve the peace of every childhood dream. His greatest attainment has yet to be recognized.

Threads: In the Year 2025

With loud smirking grin 
Rejoicing in the sin 
Of a stupid clever win

She never guessed! 
My love unprofessed! 
In failing test...

She came to the table 
Dressed like Betty Grable; 
I stammered unable

Oh, can't you see? 
Of the love that you flee 
You'll never be free.

My heartbeat still teething 
In labored breathing 
I'm boiling seething... -

 

 

Threads: Bond 26

I read the Bond pimps actually got a legit director to besmirch his career for the next film. 

The "One man saving the world" bit is beyond exhausted. Yes, they'll keep trundling that out to the mouth-breathers as long as it makes money. And it will be remembered as rubbish.

As I've said before, the actual battle in this world is the one for self-respect. Not a person on this planet has guts to write a Bond as a person of self-respect. But as Broccoli figured out, to do otherwise is pointless.

 

Threads: Bill Marred

The two elderly women were so polite.

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Maher. Thank you for waiting! Could you come with us, please?"

"Yes, of course. You know, my always-outraged fellow Jews are so busy demonizing people such as yourself it just makes me sad. If only they could see how kind you truly are."

"Bless you for saying so!"

"And isn't unity wonderful! Our leader has everyone on the same page."

"Latest polls have him at 90%! Now, if you'll just step into the chamber we'll turn the dial."

 --------------------------------- 

Director Billy Wilder: "The optimists died in the gas chambers, the pessimists have pools in Beverly Hills." 

Turns out Mr. Maher is an optimist: “Yes. And I liked him – I like them all [right-wingers]. They’re all nice people when you meet them in person. Nobody’s as crazy as they’re made out to be,” Maher said, stressing that both sides must take responsibility for their own extremists if political violence is to be stopped. 

Threads: Moral Bankruptcy

Mark Cuban claims tech CEOs have a "moral imperative" to appease whomever is in charge. Um, that may be a tad myopic! 

Below we see Germany's end result of that thinking. Do we also want to go into the mass starvation and mass raping by the foreign troops? 

Gee, guess I'm a dummy not to see the morality in that. 

I'm sure during the Nazi heyday many CEOs were thinking themselves "clever" - before they got destroyed. 

You lay down with dogs, you wake up with fleas (some of them fatal) every time.
