Leaving Blobtopia<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cThe vibe shift being witnessed is nothing more then a managerial class losing the mandate of heaven as they squander the inheritance of empire.\u201d \u2014Jim Sharp<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A nation can only take so much corruption, crime, and unreality.\u00a0 \u201dWe\u2019re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality,\u201d said Karl Rove, veteran blobster and advisor to George W. Bush, when he uttered those fateful words. Even political junkies forget the rest of what he said:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And while you\u2019re studying that reality \u2014 judiciously, as you will \u2014 we\u2019ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that\u2019s how things will sort out. We\u2019re history\u2019s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Old Karl was being too polite, you understand. What he meant to say is:\u00a0We\u2019re gonna lay trip after trip on you, all of you smart-asses watching the political scene until your over-mis-educated Ivy League brains turn into something that resembles a patty-melt so that you\u2019re lost in a fog of incoherent blabbery, parroting whatever nonsense we proffer as we asset-strip what\u2019s left of Western Civ.<\/em><\/p>\n

What they call \u201cthe cognitive infrastructure\u201d of we-the-people has been twisted, crinkled, folded, looped, and twiddled until it\u2019s nearer a state of criticality than the ten-thousand rusted-out bridges on our county roads. This week, the FCC board voted to adopt new rules to \u201cprevent and eliminate digital discrimination.\u201d Sounds great, huh? Reality check: I do not think that the words mean what you think they mean. They are, rather, an invitation to the rest of the US government \u2014 any malicious blob-driven agency \u2014 to meddle with the Internet, block content that they don\u2019t like, and conduct mind-fuckery operations to their heart\u2019s delight. Uh-oh, I think they just destroyed the Internet.<\/p>\n
