In a recent post (In Loving Memory – RIP Miriam Carey) regarding the woman who was killed on Oct. 3rd in Washington, DC after she lost it and tried to break through the White House barriers in her SUV with a one year old child in it, Oui wrote:
Police bullets and AR-15 toting security officials stop another US citizen suffering from mental illness.
Now aside from the fact that we have no actual proof that she was in some way insane other than by observing her actions…possibly the only real proof of insanity available to any of us despite the ongoing babbling of the so-called mental health experts who seem to think that mental and emotional “illnesses” can be cured or at least controlled by massive infusions of unproven drugs…here is what is happening in Surveillance State America at the present time.
Read on if you so desire.
The weakest among us are being driven batshit crazy…a street technical term that is more accurate on many levels than any diagnosis ever handed down by a psychiatrist…by this monolithic corporate surveillance state, Oui. Dealing with what is happening here…the constant drumbeat of “HOTTEST THING EVER!!!” news, of media-created and propagated fear and crushing economic pressure…is creating a geometric progression of insanity in the population. Every time one of those weak ones goes over the edge, hundreds and thousands more step a little closer to the brink. Eventually the entire system is going to fall apart if things do not change. For every desperate person who snaps out there are thousands who simply give up, who snap in, into an internal depression that progressively robs them of their ability to function well as human beings. No amount of counseling or drugs will work on these people because what happens to them actually makes sense on some level. We are being run as slaves by a machine that does not really care about anything except the bottom line and uses that bottom line as its primary weapon to hold those slaves in bondage. Only by understanding the true nature of what is happening…the Terminator/Skynet-like system that is now almost totally running our lives…can we stop this progressive decline, and I see no developments that make me think the general public has a clue about its real position in the system. They know that “something is wrong,” but their minds are too well clouded by the mass media for them to be able to see what is really happening. I can offer no solution except for this one idea…that those of us who do have some understanding of what is going on must daily try to tell as many others about it as we can possibly manage to reach. We must each of us become digital Paul Reveres.
THE MACHINES ARE COMING!!!
THE MACHINES ARE COMING!!!
WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!
THE MACHINES ARE COMING!!!
Does this sound a little…extreme? Then so be it. We are in extreme danger. The machines are not only “coming”…they are already here. Bet on it.
Even some of the machines…partial machines, soft machines in the words of William Burroughs…are not really aware of their role.
Bet on that as well.
Keep up the good fight, Oui. It may be all that we have left.
Later…

Your choice, bubbas and bubbettes. If the idea of “choice” actually applies most human beings, of course.
“Your job” might be a better phrase.
However, there always exists the possibility…albeit an extremely remote possibility in most cases…that one can change one’s job.
Try it.
You may actually be happier in another position than your current one.
Bet on it.

Sorry to be flippant (it’s been a long day) but her position looks pretty good to me!
It all depends on how close the PermaGov’s various tentacles are approaching from the rear, if y’know what I mean. “Relax and enjoy it” is not necessarily a valid option. Also if y’know what I mean.
So it goes.
Dig it.

Reminds me of Malachi Ritscher a few years ago. He did have a diagnosed mental condition of some sort, but he had also been very frustrated by the US War on Terra. By the time he died, it should have been blindingly obvious that US actions in Iraq were nothing short of genocidal. He died in the middle of the night, alone, and no doubt in pain those last moments. His body was found the next morning. Desperate times drive people to desperate measures – the most vulnerable are our canaries in the proverbial coalmine. In Malachi’s case, the corporate media largely ignored his act of protest – a few local independent outlets covered his death, and the reasons behind it.
Chances are that if you heard any live recordings of any Chicago-area free jazz bands in the 1990s and early 2000s, he had done the recording. He had a good ear. To say his death was a shame is an understatement.
On the serious side, her “mental illness” is supposed to be post-partum depression, although if the one year old was hers, that’s pretty long for PPD.
Next will TSA ban mothers from flying?
PPD is very real and tragic but those who suffer it are not “crazy” in a Son of Sam way. Technically it is a mental illness but that is a very prejudicial term.
IMHO you are a lot crazier if you think Obama is a Kenyan or a Socialist(Boy, do I wish!) or you can revive an economy by limiting spending and the money supply (metallism). Although the economic views may be simple ignorance.
Regarding the latter, “his brain is squirmin’ like a toad” from Jim Morrison (Riders on the Storm) comes to mind.
Love that song!
