Remembering Mr. Myrl Billings

Honoring and remembering one of a multitude of USA citizens whose deeds and even their existence at one time is fading in the minds of the masses.

“A grave marker, flanked by both an American and French flag, rests in the Lincoln Memorial Cemetery in Springfield, Missouri. The name on the marker is Myrl Billings. Billings was a Springfield native African American who fought in World War I with the 369th Regiment of the New York National Guard. He was the only African American soldier from Springfield to receive the Croix de Guerre for gallantry in action during World War I.”

Detecting Political Correctness

There are no formulas to apply to written or spoken words to indicate the person writing or spewing their froth is calling upon implanted knee-jerk rhetoric of the politically correct (PC) type.

Merely disagreeing with an opinion or belief does not make it PC. But, I have noticed that what I believe to be PC-laden folks bashing those with differing opinions and using PC emotion-laden frivolous terms in response to what they disagree with.

Disagree with a PC persons’ opinions or beliefs and be prepared for having emotion-laden labels placed upon you.

It is these labels that assist me in ascertaining if the writer/speaker is what I consider to be one of a growing number of PC indoctrinated buffoons who tend to be lacking in education or the curiosity to expand their very limited knowledge base.

Babbling buffoons. A bevy of them. Bountiful buffoons. Spewers of inanity. But, that is merely my opinion and I declare that in many of my writings across the Web; something I witness very few PC dingalings doing.

I am going to start a cumulative list and while writing when I think of a new addition I will add it to the list below:

Indicators you are reading/hearing a PC person communicating

.

• Opinions written as if those opinions are fact

• Label those disagreeing with them a “hater” or “bigot, “xenophobe” “Nazi” etc.

• Tendency to ridicule their own race, culture, ethnicity, whatever but typically only if the PC spewer is a Caucasian USA resident.

.

I have thought about writing an entry covering this topic but refrained from doing so because the concept I want to convey is difficult.

There are many variables about the topic and my ability to convey thoughts seems inadequate, to me, to share what are in my thoughts.

Here is what sparked my decision to create this entry; a comment left upon a Web site:

“…bombing a lot of poor brown civilians.“

There is that “brown” term again referring to skin pigmentation levels.

I read mention of “brown people” this and that and written by those I label as being PC indoctrinated.

Hey!!!  I just found a decent explanation about political correctness with some examples of PC:

“Political Correctness (PC) originally flowered in academia and spread like a virus through the government and corporate worlds. It has devolved into a tyranny of the most offended person in the room. PC complaints now range from the sublime to the ridiculous, and they are stifling the honest assessment, and debate, of issues in our lives.”

The site where the quote above originates and the examples chosen is here:

10 Ridiculous Cases of Political Correctness

.

My tirade is against PC-ridden buffoons spewing their typical knee-jerk rhetoric when leaving comments at Web sites and at message boards. These spewers of political correctness generally write in a manner that does not convey the writer as being a logical, rational creature and obvious-to-me of minimal educational attainment; basically, the average buffoon infesting the human herd who has absorbed much of the life-long propaganda we are all immersed within.

Some of those gulping down that propaganda chose to gobble the PC credos and incorporate that general philosophy into their bleating citizen-sheep lives.

The linked-to site above chose examples of a different type but are indicative of that which is PC.

Defining Political Correctness

Political Correctness

Defining a term can be difficult. Especially if it something that can not be seen, touched, smelled or whatever.  I can define a car or a house or a cute little kitten much easier. But “political correctness” is an idea, a thought, a describer of people’s actions or things they do not do.

For writing ease and laziness I will us the acronym “PC” henceforth to represent our term being peeked at in this entry.

How PC is defined varies from person to person. What I view as PC may be viewed as proper behavior to another person who would not label that action as PC.

Confused yet?

I read constant news stories that I interpret as being evidence of PC.

A recent event was a young student who ate a pop-tart-type pastry in a manner that led to the flat, rectangular object attaining a vague shape reminiscent of a hand gun.

The bureaucrats in charge of that school took actions that punished the child!!!

Read the idiocy here—–> Bureaucrat Idiocy

A Google image search found the picture above. I do not know if that is the actual “gun” that made a bureaucrat behave in an idiotic PC way but the pic does get the general idea across.

 

The Police can be a Friend or an Enemy

I am a civil, law-abiding citizen.

I have stepped in when thugs wanted to harm others and stopped them.

I assisted a California Highway Patrolman battling a drug-crazed scum who had ran his car into a pick-up with a family of four within.

That scum was getting the better of the cop with the cop having to devote his effort to keeping the thug from getting hold of his pistol.

My jumping into the fray and wrapping adrenalin-powered arms around the scum’s throat ended that battle!!!

Wheeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

I mention the above because I am going to lambaste the behavior of the jack-booted thugs in the article linked-to below:

 

Man claims police harassing him over legal grow house

 

Thinking About Times Long Ago

Elites and their lackey figurehead politicians across the world are so quick to send the common folks to battle and kill and be killed or horribly wounded or harmed in many other ways.

The scum at the top of the socio-economic hierarchy live luxurious lives at the expense of the many below them.

This fact of life is in all countries, cultures, institutions and other entities where a hierarchical structure exists.

Various religions operate this way along with corporations and other entities.

Of course, the well-indoctrinated brainwashed among us who are part of the commoner class but high enough up the socio-economic hierarchy to live better lives than those below them tend to mention the relatively few exceptions to the far more common generalities I consider when writing.

 

I wish things could be different but I suppose basic human instincts are the greatest enemy of We, the People… everywhere.

Humans are a social creature with top dogs and those at the bottom of the pack.

And then there is the instinct for a “sense of belonging” that is shown in a multitude of ways.

A recent example for me was watching a NFL football game on TV. USA-type football.

The TV camera panned onto the spectators frequently and the actions, mannerisms, apparel worn, etc. showed me what I perceive but one of MANY ways humans bond to something outside themselves.

USA #1? 40 Embarrassing Things That America Is The Best In The World At

“Please feel free to share Stuart Wilde articles with your friends, social networks, newsgroups, and websites. Word of mouth has helped Stuart Wilde teachings reach millions of people. Thank You.”

Happy to share and to assist in helping to spread your Web page for folks to view I am linking to it AND reproducing it on this page since not all folks follow links.

I will not place any comments on this page. Let all who see the article below arrive at their own conclusion(s).

Reading the opening statements it appears that Mr. Stuart has repeated the writing of some literate fellow with admirable writing skills and patient information seeking named Michael.

Kudos to the original author and to all who disperse the essay.

Voting at the Federal Level is a SCAM!!!

I encourage folks to read “The Irony of Democracy” or one of the many other books covering the topic of the ins-and-outs of the creation of the USA federal government and what the Founders intentions were.

Basically, from the get-go, the USA federal government was intended to be controlled by an elite class.

I understand why the elites did that.

My decades of life experiences, observations and education has led to my viewing the average, typical run-of-the-mill USA resident as an idiotic imbecile lacking the needed interests and desire to be a capable citizen existing within a constitutional republic.

Of course, many folks are simply too busy leading their daily life to devote the needed interest and/or time to being an involved member of the electorate.

 

Pondering Precariously

Question for the masses:

 

What is the question that has no answer?

Rick Santorum Just Another Lackey Politician

Watching and listening to the Today TV show October 3, 2012 around 7:15 AM Central Standard Time yet another lame vile politico appeared spewing the usual meaningless froth.

Babbling away about the problems confronting the USA and how this and that needs to be done to fix those problems, another, to me, self-centered greedy defiler of the USA proved his lust for wealth using the embedded method of serving the USA ruling masters, corporate USA, etc.

Ricky Santorum… is he merely another scoundrel or does the boy actually believe in the words he spews?

If he does truly believe the messages he sends forth then I must declare my opinion that he is merely one of a multitude of well-brainwashed buffoons infesting the USA and people of his ilk are part of the problems confronting the USA and the 300-million-plus folks living within the once-sovereign country beset with political correctness and in the throes of severe class warfare.

I believe it is likely that some to many readers of this blog entry may be asking themselves “What the heck are you griping about now you ancient, decrepit hideously homely Disgruntled Old Coot?”

Good question I proclaim, even though I created the query.

Observing the Santorum unit I noticed he clearly stated that his newest book is on sale now.

BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!!!!

I admit I am not privy to the information the USA politician scum who are mere figurehead lackeys of the USA’s elite classes, corporations, special-interest groups, etc. have access to.

I am far removed from the bureaucrats and bureaucracies involved with assisting the vile, scum, putrid politicians and all the other people and institutions that whisper into the ears of the USA’s so-called “leaders” who decide to send the common folks of the USA to foreign lands to fight for some reason.

The past few years I keep hearing the well-brainwashed people of the USA spewing that those troops have fought terrorism to “protect our freedoms.”

What freedoms have you lost?

The ability to move to a new area? How about voting? Writing a blog entry? Well, you have lost the freedom to not have some government lackey fondle your body attempting to board an airplane.

But that may be necessary since our borders are wide open to anybody wanting to stroll across a border with the intent to harm us.

I sincerely doubt that the mid-east terrorists had or have the ability to truly remove our many freedoms.

But, that freedom phrasing is excellent spewing material to jostle the masses of citizen-sheep’s emotions and make them compliant and accepting of the ruling master’s politician lackeys.

A few folks who have cast off some of the brainwashing do not bleat their contentment with the USA’s masters and the master’s politician and bureaucrat lackeys, though.

Despised Commoner-class Disgruntled akin to an Old Coot

Glory be, hallelujah!!!

Shout a few hosannas folks!!!

The Disgruntled Old Coot is not wandering the Web and the planet alone.

There are kindred spirits out there but rest assured that I am likely far homelier than those mostly younger folks not worn down and withered by decades of arduous physical labor that has worn my body town to a nub as a pencil being shoved into a sharpener too many times devolves into.

Writing the above I have the Occupy Movement galloping through my mind.
At the Wikipedia entry linked-to above I read this:

“The occupy movement began with a commitment to nonviolence.”

That is good.

Not because I am a pacifist but acting unruly, disrespectful, anti-social, uncivil or causing real fear in the ruling elite-class masters and / or their jack-booted thugs can hurt one’s cause and be painful to one’s body when those thugs commence their well-honed pepper spray disseminating.

Many other methods of despised commoner control can be used such as incarceration or placing your name in any number of HUGE bureaucracies that can make your life miserable, forcing you to spend scarce wealth to defend yourself.

 

USA Government LIES to YOU. Lies to all of us.

The Dispossessed Majority

Below is a segment of the linked-to essay:

“It is extraordinary that millions of Americans actually believe fervently that it matters whether Romney freak or Obama freak gets elected. If Americans had any sense, they would stay home and not vote. The 1% control the country, and the 99% had just as well own up to it and stay at home. Nothing is going to change because of the ballot box.”

I quiver with effervescent glee when I read the words of another that agree with my written mumblings in past blog entries.

Especially when those others’ opinions are from a valid known source.

“About Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

 Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal. He was columnist for Business Week, Scripps Howard News Service, and Creators Syndicate. He has had many university appointments. His internet columns have attracted a worldwide following.”

Emotion-laden Subjective Knee-jerk Rhetoric

Hello folks.

Welcome to the bastion of Cootness.

My personal regime inside my bunker located in the middle of my compound that can be so easily invaded by jack-booted thugs either purposefully or accidentally.

For many years I have wandered the Web looking at many types of Web sites.

The message boards covering many topics have been interesting since they allow a shanty-bound bloke to determine what other folks think about the topic(s) a message board thread relates to.

Do I have to cover an aspect of message boards in depth to assuage the sadly illogical, irrational and well-brainwashed masses who will bleat their objections within areas I would expect sane, logical, rational and clear-thinking folks to assume from the get-go?

Though it is “risky” I am assuming that the typical Disgruntled Old Coot Reader ™ is not the typical nearly brain-dead idiotic citizen-sheep infesting a country in the midst of class war that the ruling-class masters are winning.

Thus I will not devote multiple paragraphs covering the many pros and cons regarding message boards and the information, data, opinions ot whatever garnered from reading the boards.

Coot Question About Nuclear Exposure

I wonder how many of our elite master class were sent to the Nevada test site to be near a nuclear explosion?

Did any go willingly to show the commoners present that their ruling masters appreciate them and want to be with them to share any possible risk?

The reviled scum commoners brainwashed into serving the ruling masters are there.

But that is okay!!!

Their health and lives are meaningless in the scheme of things.

What is truly important is that the deserving ones, our rulers and masters and those they consider to be important or vital in serving the masters, are kept safe.

As things are is correct and proper and too many citizen-sheep believe that.

Idiotic Missouri Politicians Babbling & Spewing Meaningless Verbal Garbage

Hello you Web wanderers.

Welcome to the Disgruntled Old Coot’s blog created within my humble hovel, a shanty atop the Ozark Plateau surrounded by a huge horde of humans I try to generally avoid due to the inanity and ignorance of so many of those folks.

I admit that I do meet a few folks not brainwashed by the life-long propaganda that We, the People of the USA are inundated with.

Propaganda created by many powerful and wealthy entities within the USA.

The elite ruling class, corporate USA, society in general and other propaganda sources.

It is likely that the vast majority of humans are pummeled by constant indoctrination/brainwashing originating with wealthy and/or powerful ruling masters.

Countries, religious organizations, businesses of all types with the BIG businesses having the wealth to influence a large number of humans and the ability to influence elites and others at the top of the socio-economic pyramid.

I am considerably Disgruntled regarding the human horde that are, in my Never Humble Opinion ™ brainwashed bleating citizen-sheep.

As for you, the Web wanderer who is still reading my diatribe– I believe it is unlikely that you are a mere citizen-sheep.

Congratulations!!!

Politician Spewing BS, Tripe, Emotion-laden Meaningless Drivel

I can not remember the exact words Obama used when publicly speaking July 20, 2012 about the Colorado Batman shooting but I have heard the phrase he used that bothered me used by Obama at other times and by many other babbling, spewing, etc. speakers using emotion-laden meaningless warm-fuzzy statements.

The offensive-to-me statement?

Worded in many ways but the main offensive wording is;

“Americans are united…….”

Following the above is a variety of more meaningless drivel.

A subjective term that can be interpreted in many ways.

Coot Predicts Possible Future

If the masses of despised commoner citizens suffer economically, go hungry, unable to find shelter, the elite ruling classes of the world do not care.

Why should they?

Oh no, I am entering the sphere of morality.

What is right? What is wrong?

Am I my brothers’ keeper?

In the USA the enterprising individual who is financially successful by his own efforts is revered, looked up to as a person others should emulate.

The “rugged individualism” so admired in the USA is but one of a HUGE number of propaganda-types to addle the minds of the masses.

The vast majority of the admired financial “successes” would never have achieved that position without the assistance of a few to many assistants.

Presidential Candidates; a herd of them

2012 Presidential Form 2 Filers

“The table below lists all individuals who have filed a Statement of Candidacy (FEC Form 2) with the FEC to register as a 2012 presidential candidate.

Each individual who is a candidate for federal office must file an FEC Form 2 within 15 days of becoming a candidate. The candidate may file this form on paper or electronically. Paper filers may choose to send a letter that contains the information required on the FEC Form 2, in lieu of the form itself.

Under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (the Act), an individual becomes a candidate for federal office when:

The individual has received contributions aggregating in excess of $5,000 or made expenditures aggregating in excess of $5,000; or

The individual has given consent to another person to receive contributions or make expenditures on behalf of him or herself and that person has received contributions aggregating in excess of $5,000 or made expenditures aggregating in excess of $5,000 (11 CFR 100.3(a)).

Funds received and payments made for the purpose of determining whether an individual should become a candidate are not considered “contributions” or “expenditures” that may trigger candidacy. However, only funds permissible under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (the Act) may be used for these exploratory activities. See 11 CFR 100.72 and 100.131 for further information.

The list below shows all individuals who have filed Statements of Candidacy regardless of the amounts of activity in the campaign. The list is sorted alphabetically by last name. To see this list sorted by Form 2 filing date click on the filing date column header. To view an image of the filed FEC Form 2, click on the hyperlinked candidate name.

Follow the above link for the presidential candidate list for 2012.

You can click on each name for some further information (not much) about each candidate.

I wonder if the Disgruntled Old Coot could convince enough folks to send me campaign contributions to meet the $5,000 requirement?

If elected I would follow the advice of much better minds than mine:

“The government that governs least governs best.”

Yeah, some things and events have to be handled.

I believe that common sense would dictate when to step in as president and take care of things.

Feel free to ask questions in the comments section about how I would handle the presidential office.

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.

Four Million New Jobs!!!

Saturday morning, May 5, 2012.

Listening to “Weekend Edition” on National Public Radio (NPR).

Your Disgruntled Old Coot listens to NPR a lot.

Not the “classical music” those stations tend to play. Nope. Not my music-type.

I DO like the news and non-music offerings.

Well, most of those.

That Lake Wobegon and the humor-type shows bore me.

I want to hear about current events and coverage of regular folks.

Piss on the celebrities and sport stars etc.

I would rather hear about the “common folks” that most of the mass media tends to ignore.

I am eagerly awaiting Car Talk hosted by Click n Clack.

Here is a handy site to assist your finding the show—>  Hi!!

“Coot, why are you posting about your choice for on-line radio listening? Are you trying to get us to listen to NPR?”
