If you’re the average person out there doing average work, there’s going to be someone else out there doing the exact same thing as you, but cheaper.

Now that the industrial economy is over, you should forget about doing things just because it’s assigned to you, or “never mind the race to the top, you’ll be racing to the bottom.”

Usmanov

2012-01-22 23:54:22 // The Operator
 

Usmanov is known for making offers people are afraid to refuse. One who did refuse and is no longer around to talk about it, is Leonid Rozhetskin, a millionaire Russian-American, Harvard-trained lawyer, who wouldn’t sell his 25.1 percent share in Megafon, the Russian mobile phone service provider.

In fact, Rozhetskin had filed suit in New York, alleging he had been threatened with physical harm unless he sold his stake.

In May 2008 Rozhetskin disappeared from his vacation villa in Latvia; only a pool of his blood remained.

I get the feeling that Usmanov will come up again at some point…

Recurring Imagery: Conspiratorial Tentacles

2012-01-21 20:22:48 // The Operator
 

The Conspiracy Foreshadowed (circa 1800)

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

- Thomas Jefferson


The Coming Money Trust (circa 1912)

The Vampire Squid (circa 2010)

The world’s most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.

- The Great American Bubble Machine
by Matt Taibbi for Rolling Stone

Behold, Leviathon (circa 2004)

It was only a matter of time before the unctuous old snakeoil
salesman slipped in his product and impaled himself on a white
picket fence-damn you, Joneses, I’ve got a bigger house, a faster
car, and a newer tv, and now you’ve got me in collections you filthy
silver-tongued weeds-crowding out revolution with the empty
promises of money and the stability of money-symbol lies

All the automatic tellers with their cameras acting as eyes,
they ingest, digest, and regurgitate paper… and watch for the
database-maybe those lines lead back to Ohio, maybe they run
back down to the murky floor of the harbor where words like
“Novus Ordo Seclorum” are coined

- Booze, Cthulhu, and the Weeds

The tentacled Elder God “Cthulhu” of the Lovecraft Mythos figures squarely into my personal mythology as an ultimate, unknowable element of entropy – an eternal enemy of self-organizing life itself; perhaps it’s necessary in the paradigm of a genetic algorithm, but that does not make it any less pernicious to the individual or societal organism.

There isn’t much of a future for humanity so long as individual greed and collective ignorance can steer food away from the hungry and bombs down upon the innocent – said as much before and I suspect I’ll be repeating it … so long as I have a voice.

Never speak of politics or religion in polite company.

Lobbyist: SOPA Blackout “An Abuse of Power”

Chief lobbyist of the MPAA, Chris Dodd, also lashed out at the blackout yesterday, saying it was a “gimmick,” and even “dangerous.”

Dodd, whose industry outspent the tech sector 13-1 in Congress, oddly called the political protest “an abuse of power.”

- After Historic Protest, Members of Congress
Abandon PIPA and SOPA in Droves
at EFF.org

When internet users use the internet to say things which people like Chris Dodd do not agree with, it’s “an abuse” – when people like Chris Dodd try to prevent internet users from using the internet as they presently do, it’s “just business” – think about what that means for us so long as people like Chris Dodd can buy influence in Washington.

“The public? They’re not like us – they have hardly earned the privilege we enjoy and, perhaps, they do not deserve the rights we’ve afforded them…”

USAF: “Smoking something they shouldn’t be.”

2012-01-19 08:29:11 // The Operator
 

[via Wired]

“Preservation of human life is a premium when one is attempting to generate support of the local population, stability and security while not increasing grievances.” – Dr. Mark Maybury

. . .

Maybury even lists “Metropolitan Area Persistent Sensing” — city-wide spying — as well as “micro munitions that limit collateral damage” and “non lethal directed energy weapons.” Accompanying the words is a picture of the weapon from the Air Force’s allegedly non lethal arsenal.

- Air Force’s Top Brain Wants a ‘Social Radar’

The problem with taxpayers subsidizing the research and development of this technology is that this technology’s most likely application – beyond supporting present policy of foreign occupation (which benefits “defense” contractors at the expense of the taxpayer) – is domestic urban pacification.

Apparently established less-lethal weapons (whip, cattle prod) just aren’t good enough when you need to herd humans – why use bullets on protestors and needlessly liquidate inventory?

The taxpayer subsidizes the tools by which he is enslaved – which raises the very important question of whether or not he is already marginally enslaved.

Foolish citizen – you thought your shackles would come free?
