Where Are the Jewish Gangsters?

The more I read about Bernie Madoff, the more disgusted I am with the whole crowd of country-club suckers he allegedly conned and the phony “gentility” they represent. The whole Bernie Madoff scandal was not about Jews and money but Jews and respectability. The scandal was a tragedy of misguided upward mobility.
This is a scandal that hinges on a false connection between country-club membership and “respectability.” Bernie seems to have preyed on those Jews who worship the false idol of WASP respectability. The sham gentility of country-club life. Give me a break. Give me a gangster over a golfer any day.
Old money in America is just old crime well-varnished by time. The big money has always been made by criminals of non-Jewish persuasions: The non-Jews who committed genocide to steal the land; the non-Jews who built up fortunes through slavery; the non-Jews who built “respectable” fortunes on the backs of wage slaves.
Into The Wild
Katselin juuri Sean Pennin “Into The Wildin”. Se, joka pitää elokuvasta, todella rakastaa Amerikkaa. Minä en.
Vaikka elokuvan loppu oli voimakas, päävire oli sama kuin soundtrackinkin: phony.
Ehkä minä olen aina askel lähemmäs kyynikkoa, mutta minuun ei nämä amerikkalaiset kasvutarinat iske.
Mitä Supertrampin vastoinkäymiset ja itsetutkiskelu meille opettaa muuta kuin yksityistä eikä yleistä? Korpijeesuksen valaistuminen ei edistä yleistä hyvää sen paskan vertaa.
Siis taas yks leffa vieraantumisesta.
Sheeeet, tut mä mikään petervonbagh oo. Lisää punkkua ja sitten pehkuihin.
MP3s Prevent Piracy

A long-range acoustic device (LRAD), hooked up to a humble MP3 player, blasts the target with a precise beam of sound, which can be turned up to excruciatingly painful levels should an attacker get too close.
Anti-Piracy Maritime Security Solutions (APMSS) hires out three-man teams of ex-military personnel bearing LRADs on ships and has been inundated with work as the piracy problem off Somalia worsens.
“It’s very effective up to 1,000 metres and excruciating if you get within 100 to 200 metres if it’s at full power. It would give you more or less permanent hearing damage,” APMSS chief executive Nick Davis said.
“At two miles they sounded the general alarm. The pirates slowed down at around 600 metres and continued to 400 metres, waving AK47s. The pirates then turned away. A good encounter,” he said.
