Screech or Possibly a Scream Track

To save money I use an indoor antennae to receive local broadcast-type Television stations.

No funds for paying the exorbitant rate the local cable TV firm charges, even for the most basic offering.

Most of my TV watching is the three “public” TV channels. The PBS folks.

I also receive the “basic” channels such as ABC, NBC, Fox and that CW thing.

When the change was made awhile back regarding how TV stations broadcast their signal and convertors were required to receive the new signals the local CBS station was unable to be received within the shanty.

Maybe an outside antennae would allow reception but those antennae cost money and you either have to be able to install it yourself or able to afford to hie somebody to do the job.

If you are akin to the Disgruntled Old Coot you have no friends able or willing to install the antennae.

Food or a TV station? I have lived fine without being able to see the CBS station so my few funds will be used to buy food, pay for medical care and the taxes that will eventually ensure I leave the shanty and live in the pick-up truck. Sniff.

Missouri Political Candidates

Your Disgruntled Old Coot has not always lived in a shanty… a humble hovel mid-continent atop the cultural backwater of southern Missouri.

Hey!!! At least it is relatively cheap living here. It has to be; the wages are abominable.

Abominable is a high-falutin’ city-slicker way of saying “crappy.”

Missouri. A state. One of 50. 21 out of 50 in physical size. Highest point; Taum Sauk Mountain- 1,772 feet above sea level. If sea levels rise due to glaciers and ice-packs melting then the mountain will get shorter… technically. But bypassing clouds and birds will not notice any difference. Relativity at work.

For your viewing pleasure I now present you, with the able assistance of Wikipedia, the Missouri flag:

18th most populous of the 50 United States.  According to US Census Bureau estimates the 2011 population is a little bit more than 6,000,000. Around a months income for some of our elite-class ruling masters.

Oh, wait. That 6-million figure is people counting, not dollar counting, but the thought conveyed is legitimate.

“The mean center of United States population as of the 2010 Census is at the town of Plato in Texas County, Missouri.”

Thanks again to the wonderful folks at Wikipedia.

Ponder that fact above, folks. If We, the People could coordinate our efforts we could get the folks to the east to jump up while the folks to the west are landing after jumping up.

Do that enough and maybe we could make the continent rock back and forth and those of us in the middle could watch stuff roll back and forth!!!!  Wheeeee!!!!!!!!!!

Elite-owned media on-line magazine censors the Disgruntled Old Coot

A massive pox upon Atlantic.com for banning my comments upon their Web site.

I despise labels but they can be handy to quickly convey what would require many words to do so otherwise.

In a very broad general manner it is my OPINION that the Atlantic, both magazine and Web site, trends towards the liberal left-wing aspect of categorizing people, institutions, thought processes, etc. within the USA.

I agree with some writings and opinions found on the Atlantic while some of their content riles me.

Nothing right or wrong about that– just another day within Occupied America.

I never used vulgar language in my comments on the Atlantic message boards.

I usually wrote in generalities but did include mentions of my various beliefs about the USA immersed in class war and propaganda systems.

I also disagreed with what I view as various politically correct agendas that are actually harmful to a unified non-divided USA.

The Atlantic does not want well-written comments backed by decades of searching for reality and facts AND a multitude of opinions via a fellow such as I who placed intellectual curiosity far above the oft-seen 24/7 search for entertainment.

It IS your Web site Atlantic.com and you have the right to exclude my written ramblings from your site.

In a way, I thank you for the banning since the act reinforces some of the assertions I post in various blog entries.

Enjoy your, in my opinion, political correctness.

 

Quelling Coot Urges

I have urges. Many urges. Some urges are not as strong as other URGES.

Some are urgent urges that are more akin to an URGE than a common urge.

Do you want to come to my shanty and assist in easing an urge?

Attractive females only of legal age and above.

Mirth and Merriment for a Change

Yes, the USA sucks so badly in so many areas.

Many people unemployed who want to work and have skills and get-up-and-go but the entrenched systems that ensure much of the national wealth is funneled upwards to the greedy grasping hands of the the ruling masters, their cohorts and minions shoves a growing number of USA citizens down into an economic quagmire.

Then there’s the anti-We, the People scum such as that Mitt Romney puke who made a fortune depriving USA citizens of jobs.

World affairs beyond the control of USA folks is also causing problems within the USA.

But, as history and recent events reveal, the ruling classes of the world assist each other in keeping themselves in wealth and power while the common folks across the world are spat upon.

Class war. Everywhere.

And the charade goes on.

Too many common folks brainwashed to believe that as things are is how it should be.

I was one of the deluded ones until I began studying, reading, experiencing life and then exposed to the wonders of the Web.

I realized back in the 1980s that the USA was a class society and that class war was a reality.

When the Web entered the shanty in 1995 or 1996 (I forget the exact year) and I utilized that incredible resource, my belief about class war and that the USA federal government was corrupt and beyond repair was reinforced.

I am convinced that only a military coup can make ANY meaningful change in the elite-class owned and operated federal government.

And, in many ways, corporate USA as it presently exists and is in cahoots with the many governments within the USA is an enemy of We, the People.

I am impressed with the many propaganda systems operated by the ruling masters that has convinced so MANY USA citizens that all is fine!!!

The USA is as it should be!!!!

USA is number one!!!!!!

Love it or leave it!!!!!!!!!!

Sure, there ARE many other countries where life is worse to much worse than in the USA.

But is that enough reason to allow the few to virtually enslave so many people?

Enough of that.

It is time for some humor.

What I consider to be humorous.

Coot Copying

I have seen the following at many locations across the Web.

Most are the same or similar.

There is a message within the declaration.

It is intended to be comical AND to convey a dissatisfaction with the present USA that is owned and operated by elites and corporate USA.

*********************************************************************

The IRS sent my Tax Return back! AGAIN!!!

I guess it was because of my response to the question: “List all dependents?”

I replied -

“12 million illegal immigrants;  ( may be as many as 20 million)

“3 million crack heads;

“42 million unemployable people on food stamps;

“2 million people in over 243 prisons;

“Half of Mexico; and,

“535 fools in the U.S. House and Senate.”

Apparently, this was NOT an acceptable answer.

***************************************************************

We must never forget the politician lackey figurehead obeying his ruling class masters, corporate USA and special-interest groups. It currently is Obama but he is merely the latest in a long line of lackey, lap-dog loyal to his masters figurehead.

Then there’s the multitude of bureaucracies lording over us.

Not all are horrible. Some are a danger to We, the People.

I still cry out to the military to cast off at least some of the life-long indoctrination we all are immersed within.

Think deeply and consider the Founder’s thoughts communicated via their writings.

I am convinced after decades of research, reading and life experience that the only method of implementing required changes in the USA governments and institutions is by a full-scale military coup.

Lacking that We, the People will continue to be servants of our ruling-class masters.

Coot Casually Contemplates

Quote 1 (Q1)

“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”  – Benjamin Franklin

 

Quote 2 (Q2)

“This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins.” – Benjamin Franklin

 

Q1.  In Official Disgruntled Old Coot Opinion the USA does have a ruling master class.

In past writings I mentioned that the USA as it current exists likely requires ruling masters to remain a semi-viable country.

Iraq needed a strong-arm warlord-type ruler to control that very diverse country.

Saddam Hussein used the tactics necessary to control the diverse sects, tribes, ethnicities, etc. inside Iraq.

The USA invades and the Hussein regime ends.

Now consider the increasingly diverse USA and present-day Iraq.

News from Iraq tells us of a constant barrage of bombings, killings and other undesirable affairs as the diversity there shows that diversity is not their strength.

I fear that the same or similar events will become common within the USA.

Divide and conquer. That truism will assist the ruling masters in grabbing evermore wealth and power.

I wonder who or what will remove the USA’s tyrant warlords?

The USA ruling masters, corporations and special-interest groups are too powerful and entrenched and by using the best propaganda systems ever created has convinced too many USA citizens that all is as it should be.

 

And thus we consider Q2.

 

Years of reading, talking, listening and various interactions with USA citizens combined with the power of the Web in my later years led to my belief that the typical USA citizen is a well-indoctrinated babbling buffoon citizen-sheep.

Sure, many of the buffoons knew what was needed to perform their job but in regards to topics beyond their job-specific specialties… well, only a very few folks seek knowledge beyond the needs of the job and perhaps the knowledge in a hobby or interest area.

A football fan may know a lot regarding football.

A fishing fanatic likely knows about equipment, fish types, bait etc.

Sadly, beyond job knowledge and interest areas the multitude of topics, affairs etc. that affect the USA, society, culture, etc. are unknown topics that the masses of brainwashed buffoons rely upon implanted “knowledge” for their reactions and interactions with others.

Damn, I am confronting another incredibly complex topic.

Why do I do this to myself?

A glutton for self-abuse?

 

The USA is akin to Iraq.

Without a strong powerful ruler or ruling class the country will be at war with itself.

Take away the masters and the “diversity is our strength” politically correct warm fuzzy feel-good idiocy will be revealed as false.

Sure, prove me wrong but, in turn, I invite the reader to engage in regular news reading at the local level. National news omits MANY stories that can only be found in local media.

Before I continue here’s another Ben Franklin quote:

 

Quote 3 (Q3)

“Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do.”

Okay, maybe I AM a fool but…. Ben, please consider that in today’s society with a country of over 300-million that the individual who is not a part of the ruling master’s and their cohorts crowd is powerless.

The Web has allowed the commoners to attempt the get a “voice” directed at the masses but without the “power” conveyed by backing from an elite-owned media the lone voice has little to no power behind it.

Then consider how the vote, especially at the federal level, is meaningless.

The existing entrenched political structure ensures the ruling masters will never lose power…. unless a full-scale military coup occurs.

So many aspects of the USA have changed from your era, Mr. Franklin.

Some things for the better, some the same and some things are worse.

I fear that the sense of honor folks from your era expected, especially from the upper classes of society, is now a rare commodity in the USA.

The lust for wealth and power shoves aside Honor among too many USA citizens.

Sure, there are still honorable folks around but those in the upper classes and the folks a part of the ruling class, their minions, cohorts and lackeys are, to me, obviously a minute minority.

The Mortal Disgruntled Old Coot Proclamation

When I collapse and die, perhaps screaming in agony. As I sense my life force is departing my decrepit body.

I encourage all of those remaining behind to seek out, if any, humor arising from my departure and take advantage of it.

If my death and/or departure method makes others giggle, chortle, chuckle, laugh out loud, spit coffee on the keyboard or whatever my life and death will not have been meaningless.

Fill the Web’s message boards, etc with humor.

Seek out every and anything related to my departure that can be used in a manner to convey the slightest slice of “funny” to one’s self and/or others.

And to those who lambaste you lambaste them in return.

Inform them to “lighten up” and that some day they, too, will depart their body.

I am serious….. serious as a heart attack.

Prompted to write this entry from messages posted —> HERE

Welcome

Herein lies a bevy of Considerable Cootishness of the Disgruntled variety.

Too many topics to mention so feel free to roam.

And… it’s FREE!!!

No cover charge.

What a deal, not easily surpassed even if the well-guarded gates and entry barriers to the USA gold repository at Fort Knox, KY were thrown open and the guards wandered off to do whatever guards do when wandering.

Perhaps plundering nearby donut shops?

This blog entry is “sticky.”

Ewwwwww!!!!!  “What did you DO to it you Old Coot?”

Settle down, youngun’, “sticky” means in this instance that this entry always appears first.

The rest of the entries are chronological;  the newest appear first and the first, oldest entry made on the blog shows up as the last, lonely post.

I am adding to this sticky page a list of other Web sites that have banned me from commenting in their Web sites’ commenting areas.

Anti-Baby Boomer Babblers

Hi, post-Boomers.

The Baby Boom horde is generally considered to have come squawking into this plane of existence between 1946 and 1964.

Some researchers insert a Generation Jones into that period.

The Disgruntled Old One, the Coot; that’s me!!!  has noticed an increasing number of anti-Baby Boomer comments upon the Web at many different and types of Web sites.
