O Sleepy City of Reeling Wheelchairs Where a Mouse Can Commit Suicide If He Can Concentrate Long Enough on the History Book of Rodents

Whether because the person more or less agrees with me but doesn't want to think about the clusterfuck as constantly and relentlessy as I can't help but do or because the person now worrying I'm batshit crazy or both I think I've managed to get myself muted if not banned from most buds analog and digital, though not from bots - in the past week Acebookfay, Romechay, Azonamay, and Ooglegay have thoroughly scrubbed this shitty blog, I could delete this blog today but (don't want to) am permanently siloed in Shitlord (blooger AI auto-capitalizes *Shitlord* now, I'd like to think I had something to do with it though know I didn't) clouds against my future persecution as enemy of the state when the purges reach my level peasantry. And yes, my first thought was CEO assassination a Shitlord false flag op, for those of you who think I'm bonkers

Yes, the Cage Stage, though currently hexjeff's on hiatus so I assault the miasma with pencils in moleskines. Please understand, the anger here in the links, in the monologues, IS AIMED AT ME! not you, or you too but not too much. Anger *not* that I didn't use my talent and intelligence to be comfortably ensconsed if not in the boardrooms of S&P 500 companies at least far enough up the food chain to be retired comfortably now safe from the coming enshittification wars (which I could have been, an aunt - who could and would have opened doors for me - reminds me often), but anger that though of course I knew better and have known what's coming for decades I'm still shocked and surprised to find us at this point in time exactly where I thought we would be, fuck me

Anyway, I needed to stop making cages, says the guy who makes grids, I start a canvas and without thought while the canvas is wet I apply the white acrylic ink infused in clear elmer's glue. Yes, I need to stop barking far more than I need stop making cages but can't and not only can't get angry at myself that I can't but made this barking post, and I'm delighted to tell you there's even more new Seefeel





Democrats and Republicans express support for unelected billionaires’ plans to slash government and social spending
"It is one big struggle when the CEO of a medical insurance company gets shot in NYC, as when Yemeni rebels block the Red Sea, Georgians fight for their independence, Palestinians seek liberation, Venezuela insists on electing its leadership, and students in universities the world over protest America’s genocide enforcement"
There aren't 50 small wars, there is just 1 big one
"But the reality of the big political struggle is fairly simple, and I choose to say it like it is even at the risk of sounding simplistic. We are fighting an ideology and a monstrous machine of full domination and colonization that aims to fully control (and monetize) every aspect of the life of every human being"
If You Count Colored People, World War III Has Begun
"Historically, it's only called a 'World' War if white people are dying. Like America somehow has a 'World' Series with only two countries in it. They say World War II ended in 1945, but it only ended for Europe. Colored people kept dying for decades afterwards in what they called the Cold War, referring to their hearts more than anything. How does this term, cold, make sense? Is our blood not hot? Was there not war waged across the world for decades after?
Anesthetics, crutches, dates. Inside Israel’s ghost list of items arbitrarily denied entry into Gaza
The End of Pluralism in the Middle East
"A truly seismic change in the Middle East appears to be happening very fast. At its heart is a devil’s bargain – Turkey and the Gulf States accept the annihilation of the Palestinian nation and creation of a Greater Israel, in return for the annihilation of the Shia minorities of Syria and Lebanon and the imposition of Salafism across the Eastern Arab world"
Shitlord advancements in your enshittification proceeding apace if not picking up speed
Shitlords backed-down claiming "misinformation" about policy after public backlash, assassination of shitlord
"I've been expecting an age of assassination for sometime now because the US elites make their money by killing and impoverishing Americans, and that makes them the enemy of any American who isn't on the gravy train. People who routinely kill your group for money = enemies."
"WHY THE HEALTH INSURANCE CEO WAS ASSASSINATED"
"The Democratic Party has had control of the White House for 12 of the last 16 years, and this is what the US health care system looks like now"
"One should never assassinate someone just because they are killing and impoverishing lots of people and would happily kill and or impoverish your friends and family to increase their bonus by .01%"
Fascinating that every assumption - or at least every newstory I've seen - assumes this an assassination (RETURN OF ANTIFA !) by a communist not a hit because the guy's an asshole with zillions of enemies
"Social Media Has Little Sympathy for Murdered Health Insurance Exec
"This mewling sycophantic obituary is as terrifying as the cheerleading for the brutal murder. The guy got rich killing sick people. You can’t not say that!"
"None of the world’s worst people are in prison. Our society is fed a steady diet of movies and shows depicting heroic protagonists fighting villains who abuse and murder people in illegal ways, when in real life the actual villains of our society murder people in ways that are completely legal. None of their abuses are against the law"
"‘Not Medically Necessary’: Inside the Company Helping America’s Biggest Health Insurers Deny Coverage for Care
Making people sick with shit products then turn a profit promising the health then shafting them for profit is french kiss America
"While Brian Thompson was CEO of United Health Care, the company began using an AI to automate the denial of services. The AI was found to have a 90% error rate, but the company continued to use it, resulting in people being denied medically-necessary and fully-covered treatments"
"Kamala Harris is the top recipient of lobbying money from individuals associated with UnitedHealth. Coincidentally, she refused to support universal healthcare (and ran on cracking down on immigrant families instead)"
"The New York Times coverage of the police search for the killer of the health insurance CEO is getting weird. One aspect of it is pretty dark."
"A key feature of copaganda is that police and the news media attempt to use crises to increase the size, power, and profit of the punishment and surveillance bureaucracies. This has long been one of the creepiest things about it. They don’t let a good crisis go to waste.

THE WHEELCHAIR BUTTERFLY

James Tate

O sleepy city of reeling wheelchairs
where a mouse can commit suicide if he can

concentrate long enough
on the history book of rodents
in this underground town

of electrical wheelchairs!
The girl who is always pregnant and bruised
like a pear

rides her many-stickered bicycle
backward up the staircase
of the abandoned trolleybarn.

Yesterday was warm. Today a butterfly froze
in midair; and was plucked like a grape
by a child who swore he could take care

of it. O confident city where
the seeds of poppies pass for carfare,

where the ordinary hornets in a human’s heart
may slumber and snore, where bifocals bulge

in an orange garage of daydreams,
we wait in our loose attics for a new season

as if for an ice-cream truck.
An Indian pony crosses the plains

whispering Sanskrit prayers to a crater of fleas.
Honeysuckle says: I thought I could swim.

The Mayor is urinating on the wrong side
of the street! A dandelion sends off sparks:
beware your hair is locked!

Beware the trumpet wants a glass of water!
Beware a velvet tabernacle!

Beware the Warden of Light has married
an old piece of string!

    Welcome to our cool underwater base on a volcanic island in an undisclosed location of a distant Ocean, Brother! We've been expecting you! But, srsly: not that it necessarily happened that way. Although merely considering it a reasonable possibility indicates that both of our brains aren't outmoded equipment, blinkered by vintage Capra-Disney headgear. Is this narrative a Test (of where Duh Masses are on the had-enough scale); a Casus Belli to justify draconian amplification of our already draconianly human-rights-violating, post-2001 Security State; an accelerationist goad (for the disaffected) to Act Out (and be crushed); the prologue of a play called "Reforming Corporate Culture for a more Equitable Post-Capitalist World" (aka The Great Reset, which C*V*D failed to trigger)...or all of the above and more? The "cool hit man" didn't accidentally drop his passport (or blog address) at the scene, so... we may be in uncharted False Flag waters.

  2. maybe the assassination weapon was a veterinary pistol, I read today - chatgpt tells me:


    The tool you’re referring to is likely a veterinary humane euthanasia gun or a modified firearm designed for animal euthanasia. These devices are intended to provide a quick and effective means of euthanizing animals, typically in field or emergency situations where other methods (e.g., injections) might not be practical. Here's more about them:

    Key Features
    Use of Bullets:

    Unlike captive bolt pistols, which use a retractable bolt to stun or kill, these devices fire a bullet to cause instant death.
    The shot is targeted at the brain to ensure the procedure is as quick and humane as possible.
    Reduced Noise:

    These devices are often equipped with suppressors (silencers) or are inherently designed to produce less noise than a standard firearm. This reduces stress for nearby animals and people, particularly in environments like farms or veterinary clinics.
    Design and Functionality:

    Compact and portable for ease of use in field settings.
    Often designed for veterinarians, animal control officers, or livestock managers who need a reliable, effective euthanasia tool.
    Applications:

    Used primarily for large or injured animals where other methods of euthanasia are impractical.
    May be employed during emergencies, such as accidents, where quick action is needed to prevent prolonged suffering.
    Ethical and Legal Considerations
    Training and Expertise: Proper training is critical to ensure that euthanasia is carried out humanely and effectively.
    Regulations: Use of such devices is typically governed by local laws regarding animal welfare and firearm use. In some regions, specific licensing is required.
    This type of veterinary tool is not as commonly discussed as other euthanasia methods (e.g., injection), but it serves a vital role in specific circumstances, especially in rural or resource-limited settings.

  3. UPDATE DEC 8: Well, he didn't leave behind a passport or the QR code for his website, but he did use an unnecessarily weird gun, leave behind a contaminated water bottle and a revealing image, of his face, before the hit, because he lowered his mask to flirt with somebody, so... yeah. Also, he's "hot," so that's a very suggestive casting choice (to drive engagement) ... since it seems now that his identification is inevitable, the point now is to provide some kind of heavy handed (propaganda-supporting) twist re: what he stands for. Is he Pro-Palestinian (meaning: the obverse); is he a rabid R*cist? Is he meant to be a figurehead for some new blackwashing "movement" they're cooking up? Are his fans meant to take a long, hard, soul-searching look, at their naughty admiration, after it's revealed he's a n*zi/ wifebeater/ puppycrusher? Feels like the set-up for a Big Gotcha.

    I can't wait to see what the "message" turns out to be... or if there is none... BUT... one would think that a guy capable of getting his target's terminal position correct, down to the minute, would have been capable, also, of entering NYC without already making identifiable appearances on security cams. Guy could afford a pricey backpack but no wardrobe change, wig, real beard or mustache, or even a (now-normal) Trans Outfit: he had to make himself easily (Unabomber)- traceable across days and states? He left no passport at the scene but he may as well have. Which is why this seems to cry NARRATIVE.

    2. 1/Sheetz and WaWa are rival chains, I have read in Wikipedia - in the last year or so both have opened outlets near where I live, along MD 355 - WaWa - opposite G. High School - is now my preferred stop for gasoline - they also have a free air pump, although I haven't used it

      2/nytimes this morning has an article about how back pain tormented the good looking, intelligent, well educated, economically privileged young man who is presumed innocent but is obviously guilty - his lawyer may take the "it drove him crazy" angle, I guess

      3/earlier this week I signed up for Washington Post opinion columnist Jennifer Rubin's podcast on YouTube - has she changed, or have I, or both? as Herodotus said, lovers of wisdom must be inquirers into many things indeed

      4/as I write, it's two weeks to Christmas Eve - years ago I took a course in singing at M_________ C______ and wrote a term paper about, and performed in front of the class, Rossetti/Holst "In the Bleak Midwinter"

  6. Having spent a quarter-century as a weegee for a corporate healthcare provider (I was the guy who told SVPs they couldn't have the ten million for X project; I think I stayed so long because I loved making wacky greedy people crazy when telling them these things. They shouted at me), I am both unsurprised by the Attentat of that [redacted]. I feel [redacted] towards him. Towards Luigi Galleani (or whatever Anarcho-Syndicalist name they came up with), I say Yup, makes sense.

    Events in our world since 2000 resembles nothing so much as the world Tuchman describes in "The Proud Tower". It ended with the Great War. What fun we're going to have; O The Humming Manatees.
