Giving Bankers A Good Name…

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

pigs

Swine flu is what we should call the federal government’s bank bailout program.

There are trillions of dollars being allocated for the banking system and none of this money is intended to service the consumers of these institutions. Lending has all but dried up and interest rates on deposits have not moved an inch, but the interest rates on credit cards are steadily marching skywards.

Keep in mind that these so-called lenders are getting these Fed loans at zero percent. I am imploring you all to keep an eye on the fine print because that is how these banks will attempt their legal mugging of our wallets…

  • Out of network bank ATM fees – That is how I always get slaughtered on the low. Bank of America charges me $3 at the machine and Chase hits me in the head for $1.50 on my statement. That’s $4.50 for a $40 withdrawl. Lucky for me I had $45 in my account.
  • Balance transfer fees – I used to try to skip around and put my card balances on cards with lower interest rates, but now the transfer fees are negating what saving that might have given me. $100-$150 is now the going rate.
  • Foreign exchange fees – When you use your cards in foreign lands you ever wonder what that monster chunk of money was that got pulled from your account? Check cashing stores don’t put their hands on your money as much as credit card issuing banks do.
  • Cash advances – This is something I hope you never, ever have to do. The cash advance is clearly what was described in Revelations as the mark of the beast. All bets are off for the interest rates on these things.

    • With all the pigs who administrate the banking system I would rather take my chances on avoiding Swine Flu from tainted dollar bills. Either way they have me coming and going.

    Cash Flu’s Everything Around Me…

    Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

    Can you believe that your credit cards could be saving you from being part of the swine flu pandemic? As we tumble faster towards a cashless economy the biggest endorsement comes from the supremacist daily a/k/a the New York Times on why cash is huge transporter for flu germs and other microbiotic pathogens.

    Catching Flu From Money

    This is the Smart Money article that the NYTimes story uses as its lead in. In truth, its really only us poor people that handle cash. Middle class folks and the rich are already firmly embedded with the mark of the beast. My Washington Mutual debit card even has a 666 sequence in the 12 digit card number. I would embrace the mark of the beast my damn self if it could make my debts disappear.

    The problem with cash is that it isn’t a totally efficient system for tracking the economy in real time. This is why we will have to move away from it. The masters of our fates will want to know shit like where we are and what we are spending our money on. GPS tracking devices in our cell phones and our debit cards will triangulate our movements the same way radio transmitters tell oceanographers where the dolphins are.

    If you think you can get off the grid you are sorely mistaken. Embrace your fates party people and the good news is that you may very well hasten the Rapture.

    R.I.P. ERNIE BARNES

    BARNES was a former NFL lineman whose passion was for painting. I love this piece above for all the emotion and movement he described in the bodies.

    BARNES was also the consummate humanist. BARNES said that he never painted any subjects with their eyes open because, “We don’t ever see each other, we are blind to each other’s humanity.”

    Moctezuma’s Revenge…

    Friday, May 1st, 2009

    moctezuma

    In this advanced age of hyper-cyber-communication the paranoia of a pandemic spreads faster than the actual virus. And this H1N1 shit moves pretty fast. This is a perfect storm for the forces of EEEEEEEEE-vil. The reactionary media network wants to use this instance to fingerprint people and collect DNA samples. The racism that is being fomented is even deadlier than the virus itself.

    But who is to blame for this untreatable influenza strain? Is it the Mexicans? What about the Chinese? Or is it the big corporations that process meats and produce on such a large scale that when a source becomes tainted it has already been distributed to half the global population? The proper popular name for the H1N1 virus should prA’li be the ‘ConAgra Virus’ but their D.C. lobby is way too slick to let that go down.

    I remember the dysintery I acquired during a vacation in Mexico was nothing to fuck with. It had me sweating profusely, curled up under my covers like a scared child. I had to go out to Long Island to stay at my parents house so they could take care of me. Moctezuma wasn’t no joke. He was pissed off at being double-crossed by CORTES and the conquistadors. Maybe the best name for the swine flu is simply karma?

    Game Rebellion ‘Til The Death…

    ^ Respect the architects. Death from Detroit.

    DEATH – ‘Politicians In My Eyes’

    In the long storied history of rock music’s rebel musicians I put Game Rebellion at the top of my list. Not so much for the work they have already done but mire for their potential to change the urban music soundscape. They have all the talent of a Bad Brains and all the good looks of a Boyz 2 Men. If they were white they would be the pop music perfect storm combining teen angst with socio-politically conscious lyrics. The band also has that pop music prerequisite which is called sex appeal.

    Game Rebellion has been on their grind for a minute and I try to encourage them by reminding them it takes ten years to become an overniight success in the music industry, unless, of course, you are Asher Roth, but despite all of that I stll have high hopes for the band. What are you doing tomorrow night? Why don’t you come down to S.O.B.’s and hang out with me and watch Game Rebellion do their thing?
