Oh! Those Fucking Liberals!

I don't usually make two posts in one day. But it was one thing after another thing.

Go through this blog's archives and you'll see that I almost always credit liberals for being generally decent, intelligent people. But I disavow liberalism the philosophy and I despise liberal poltical parties like the Canadian Liberals and the USA's Democratic Party. And I positively loathe Liberal hackery. (And, any honest reading of this blog will show that I'm no die-hard Dipper hack.)

So, here's "Big City Lib Strikes Back" belittling the gas-plant scandal in Ontario:

Gasplantsgasplantzgasplanzz

gaszzzzzzgazzzzzzzgzzzzzzzz

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I can't think of anything else to say on top of my reply/rant:

Yeah. What's $1,000,000,000?

This is the stupid partisan hackery that makes me sick.

The harpercons' torture and election fraud and "Election Fraud Promotion Act" haven't stirred apathetic Canadians either. Whether through successful cover-ups and corruption or sheer laziness on the voters' part.

Does that mean they're not scandals?

You seem like a decent person. Pull your head out of your ass and THINK for a goddamned minute. Do you really think it's a good thing for the Ontario government to have spent ONE BILLION DOLLARS to cancel some contracts to save the seats of three of their own MPPs?

Do you?

Do you think it's a good thing for governments to incur ONE BILLION DOLLARS in fines and then refuse to tell the people's representatives about it and, when pressed, outright LIE about how much their partisan spending cost them?

So, having gotten that off of my chest, I went to "Dammit Janet!" where I didn't see a new post. So next I went to the US pro-Democrat (except for the wonderful Susie Madrak) blog "Crooks and Liars" and found the first story was about my latest hobby-horse, anti-government, right-wing extremist gun-nuts. And the display of liberal cluelessness and hypocrisy there just made me livid. It's about the discovered YouTube videos of the crazy right-wing anti-government gun-nut from Las Vegas who died in a shoot-out at Wal~Mart with his crazy wife after having killed two cops:

Jerad Miller, the Indiana man who with his wife, Amanda, allegedly shot and killed two police officers and a bystander Sunday in North Las Vegas before dying in a suicide pact at a Wal-Mart store, posted several videos at YouTube in the past year that revealed his paranoia and antigovernment views.

One of the videos contains an extended soliloquy by Miller on government drones that turns into a quasi-philosophical rant about the nature of courthouses as centers of “authoritarianism.”

The latter is noteworthy in light of a report by the Las Vegas Review-Journal that among the documents found at Miller’s apartment was a carefully laid out plan to attack an unidentified courthouse building in Las Vegas, taking it by armed force and then executing public officials inside.
The video begins with Miller pulling out a conspiracist magazine devoted to government drones, titled “Drones: Are They Watching You?,” which was published in 2013 under the auspices of magazine publisher Source Interlink – a company that changed its name earlier this year. Miller waxes paranoiac about the likelihood that people like himself are under surveillance by them.

So are they watching you? Probably,” he says. “I mean, they’re already wiretapping your phones. You know, watching your Facebook and everything. And they’re probably watching this video of me right now. I don’t care. Congrats. You’re somebody special. You have” – waving his fingers – “clearance.”
After complaining at length about the ankle bracelet he was forced to wear as a result of being placed on house arrest in 2013 (according to the Lafayette Journal & Courier, Miller was accused of violating his in-house arrest twice that year), he turns his attention to the local courthouse near his home, which is within view of his window:

A beautiful building, even though it is a monument to authoritarianism. It’s just a big concrete building a … thing … that people have to go to, or else they go to jail. You gotta go get your marriage license, you gotta go get gun permits – whatever it is, you have to go down to that big stone structure monument to tyranny, and submit, crawling, groveling, on your hands and knees: ‘Oh, give me permission to do this, give me permission to do that.’

I dunno. Sounds a little like Nazi Germany to me. Or maybe Communist Russia. ‘Where are your papers? Do you have the authority to be here? Do you have the right to be here? Where are you going? Where are you coming from? Who’s in your car with you? Can I search your car? Can I stick my finger up your butt? No, oh, that’s probable cause, you probably got drugs up there.’ Because that’s what they’re doing now. They’re sticking fingers up people’s butts – lookin’ for drugs. Big scary drugs.

Really, people? It’s time to wake up. This is getting ridiculous.

Other videos that Miller posted on the channel suggested that he was emotionally devastated by his conviction and sentence for marijuana possession in 2013. In a couple, directed to Amanda Miller, he weeps bitterly as he soliloquizes about how much he will miss his wife while he is in prison, saying she always makes him smile, “no matter how crabby of a mood I’m in because of the New World Order and shit.”

In another video, he frets briefly about the possibility of something monumental happening while he is behind bars: “I pray to God that this Sunday is not the last time I ever see you again,” he says. “I swear to God that they better not fucking do this shit while I’m in jail. I’m pretty sure they won’t. Pretty sure it’s not happening that fast.”

This kind of paranoia is common among antigovernment “Patriot” movement followers, particularly the reliance on conspiracist publications for information. It’s also reflected, with greater intensity, in the Facebook post that Miller published on June 2:

We must prepare for war. We face an enemy that is not only well funded, but who believe they fight for freedom and justice. Those of us who know the truth and dare speak it, know that the enemy we face are indeed our brothers. Even though they share the same masters as we all do. They fail to recognize the chains that bind them. To stop this oppression, I fear, can only be accomplished with bloodshed.

It appears that in the space of the intervening year, Miller’s paranoia graduated from weepy-eyed frustration to boiling hatred. The combination of radical antigovernment views with personal problems has driven others to commit violence in the past, and Miller appears to be the latest to fall into this downward spiral.

As I said; liberal cluelessness and hypocrisy. And this is why things WILL get worse. I mean, for fuck's sake: Obama has been exposed (by the right-wing libertarian Eric Snowden) as having the NSA conduct an ongoing, massive, totalized spying operation on every man, woman and child on the face of the earth. One that is TOTALLY ILLEGAL by the way. US and Canadian police forces are trying to get surveillance drones to spy on us. Obama has the "audacity" to claim a constitutional right to kill American citizens without trial via some insane "Star Chamber" process. He (illegally) orchestrated through the Department of Homeland Security the campaign of police-brutality to shut-down the Occupy Movement while he protected Wall Street criminals from bankruptcy and persecution. We've long known that the "War on Drugs" is just an excuse for US elites to oppress the civilian population and to proportionately lock-up more of their population than any other country in the world (by a significant margin).

We all build our world-views to help us process information. But then we start to think these viewpoints are the ONLY way to interpret the world and we expel or distort information that doesn't match with them. How else to explain the otherwise intelligent people at Crooks and Liars for calling a guy "paranoid" just because he thinks the USA's drug laws are oppressive and that the government is spying on him?

Things are going to get worse because fucking liberal nut-bars will stupidly insist that austerity and war and surveillance states and imperialism and elite corruption and theft are unavoidable and/or okay so long as a Liberal or Democrat is doing them. And, as I said earlier today, more people will express themselves like right-wing libertarians, rather than as left-wing libertarians.

I'm starting to think there's going to be a war between the United States, Europe and Japan, and their client states in the Middle East against Russia, China and their allies in Asia. We'll get dragged into this horror and it will be on top of the devastation of climate change, if it isn't caused by climate change. We'll devolve into fascism here along with environmental and economic catastrophe.
