General Chat (Non-Music-Related)

In the end, does it matter?

A troll I would imagine plays from a script. But in many ways - don't we all? We know who we are (sort of) , what we believe and how we wish things were.

The two party system has destroyed intelligent political discourse - it's always "But the Republicans / Democrats do that too.

Want to trap a troll here? (silly as that sounds)

Post some musical stuff then you can trip them up with your favorite C scale.

i pity the fool who wants to go head to head w Vinny on ANYTHING music related ....theory, knowledge of instruments, or other artists!

as far as i know i'm the only keyboard percussion guy here.

so, guess what is by far THE hardest scale to play cleanly on mallet instruments?

C Major! w/o any accidentals (black keys) to break things up, it's really easy to get tripped up and hit a clam (or three) when you're playing long strictly scalar runs in C.

Well Vinny, or whatever moniker you use this week, this post gives me a glimpse of hope at finding common ground.

the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Pact (TTIP) are about.

These are really prime objectives on the globalist agenda that we would never have known about until after they were put in place, it was all being conducted in secret until Wikileaks leaked out the contents of the deals.

These would go way beyond NAFTA and CAFTA toward dismantling national sovereignties and preventing countries from protecting it's citizens from corporate abuses.

Your post gives the appearance that you might actually care about the sovereignty of the USA, so let's camp there for a minute...

On the right, fear of a totalitarian government arises from the adopted marxism of the Democrat Party. Attacks from the left on civil rights guaranteed by the Constitution (Religion, Gun ownership, free speech, etc) are driving that fear, and until it is addressed as a legitimate concern (as opposed to ridicule being the only response) it will continue to get more and more pronounced.

On the left, the answer seems to always be to demonize business as the culprit and elevate government as the answer. Why is that? Hasn't the failure of communist/socialist regimes in the last century proven once and for all that totalitarian fascism quickly follow when any government is given absolute power? And the left is as much in bed with Wall Street as the right...only more dishonest about their involvement. I'm sure there are legitimate issues about corporate influence/power that need to be addressed, and crimes that need to be confronted. Yet socialism is not the answer and that is what we're allowing incrementally. It will soon be too late to stop.

As was already pointed out in so many discussions, we are being pitted against each other and our "fights" are incorrectly characterized as "democrat vs republican" when I doubt that many of us would be so partisan if we were all hanging out together in person. As someone who is trying hard not to be defiled by either side, I see ignorance being manipulated from the right and arrogance being manipulated from the left.

It doesn't help any of us to accept what "our" side is telling us without investigating the evidence. This division in America has spun out of control with both parties at the steering wheel.

But I would like to hear what you think the solution is to stopping the globalization of the USA, when it appears that the people you support are leading the way (with the help of GOP globalists).

My conspiracy theory involves George H. W. Bush as puppet master since the assassination of Kennedy....and George Soros taking the strings recently.....but that's a different rabbit hole....or is it?





.

That was very well expressed Ted... What are you a songwriter or something?...

THANKS!!!!!

For the record - I wasn't calling Vinny or anyone else a troll. Frankly, I've been a little concerned about this 'troll' business and tried to approach it with humor.

I failed.

I think you might be right about Bush's (aka Magog) involvement in the JFK assassination. Probably could count LBJ and Connally in on it too.

Why do you call him "magog"?

yes, on LBJ , but Connally looked pretty surprised when the bullets started flying. He probably wasn't in on the innermost secrets.

As for "kingpin" it depends upon what you mean by that. The real "kingpins" do not run for public office or try to attract publicity to themselves.

Which is why Bush threw the election to Bill Clinton, with the help of his friend Ross Perot.

People like Bush do the dirty work for them as 'Public servants for private interests' ... you can trace the money as far as Soros, yes, but it gets very dark and shadowy above that.

Who would be above Soros?

Business is not the problem, it is the pirates who dominate it.

Thanks for the links, I'll have to save them to check later.

only 8 minutes into the first one, where they are talking about financing Hitler and the secret account of Rudolph Hess. I knew Henry Ford was a major backer of the Nazis. His factories in Germany and the 10 General Electrics plants were never bombed when all the other factories were, btw.

I had heard that Prescott Bush, grandfather of W, was indicted on 5 counts of laundering for the Nazis. Haven't gotten that far into this interview yet.

But I was a bit surprised to hear that the secret account of Hess/Hitler was funded by General Electric, mainly because they have been Obama's biggest backer. They are also the owner of NBC, MSNBC, (where the false narratives on race have come from) and other media outlets like CNBC, Universal, the Weather channel, and Telemundo.

GE itself has paid $0 in taxes since Obama has been in office, and was the biggest recipient of "stimulus" money when he entered office, and then got more cash through TARP from Republicans.

They have, and will have, the most to gain in the "climate change" lobby with billions of dollars already being given to them for "green technologies" which have yet to pay off. They are also heavily invested in the health care industry.

Then Jeffrey Immelt of G.E. was appointed "Job Czar" by Obama

.“General Electric’s broad access to loan guarantees,” and it gives a very illuminating account. “Since Immelt’s appointment as Chair of the Job Council, two additional government-backed transactions have occurred." "First the poorly rated 1366 Technologies, sponsored in part by GE, received a direct $150 million loan commitment from the DOE for its solar manufacturing plant." Second was the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) that loaned $54.6 million to Kansas City Southern Railway Company (KCSR) "to purchase thirty new General Electric ES44AC diesel-electric locomotives" –– a loan that raised red flags in the House investigation.

LIfe ... our existence at this moment is much like a piano with both White and Black keys. It is just a personal matter which of these we desire and choose to include in our arrangement and which to play.

Skull and Bones Filth all have "secret" names in accordance with "Black Magic" of old. It may be of interest to some here to check out what the Secret name of "Daddy Bush" is.
