30. It's not funny
But you know, when you wake up day after day in an upside-down and Orwellian Society where the terms"lies" and "truth" simply have no practical meaning in the Age of Psychoengineered Propaganda, public Relations, and Personality Profiling, sometimes you have to just laugh and satrize the madness.

I say again, the deaths of our soldiers (I am a Vet) is not funny, but the transparent lies and Pravda-esque Corporate TV Media would indeed be funny, if it was happening to someone else.

How do I know this? It is how I used to wryly consider the poor Soviet citizens back in the 70s...a mixture of pity mixed with a dash of contempt. Don't kid yourself, the entire world can see what's going on here, and I have no doubt that around the world those kinds of feeling are being directed at us. More will be coming as the economic impact of Bushevik fraud, theft, and general irresponsibility becomes felt and the structure of the Old Republic That Was becomes the Third World Infrastructure of the Empire That is Coming (if it isn't already here).

I feel as grave a pity for our soldiers, misused in the Service of Oligarchic Empire, as I felt for the Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan 1979, who coincidentally were ALSO fighting for Oligarchic Empire (not be be confused with how I felt about their Totalitarian Masters then, or our Busehvik Totalitarian-Trending Masters RIGHT NOW).

And these days we are living in now are very likely (though I would dearly love to be proven wrong by future events) the Good Old Days before the last vestiges of the Old Republic are swept away.

I pity those who will be alive in the Amerikan Empire in the year 2100. If these shadows remain unaltered by the future, it will be an ugly disgusting oppressive place (with a caramel center of Aristocratic Fun, as in France 1790 or the Old Republic in 1890).
