Tactical Thuggery 101?

"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."

Rahm Israel Emmanuel a/k/a Prancer, Little Bird or Stubman; 11/21/08

What kind of things, Prancer?  Good things?  Good for whom?  The ghosty of Saul David Alinsky?  George 'Hunky, hunky, deflagratin' love' Soros, née Schwartz György?  BHO*?  BHO’s boss?  Does Pitchfork repeat himself?

*BHO is short of Barack Hussein Obama, née Barry Soetoro, and may be pronounced ‘boo’ or ‘bo’ depending on which you regard as more respectful.

The New Nihilist?

Crisis can be a tipping point, a change at hand. 

Crisis can be instability before change. 

The former could be tolerable for its immediacy; it’s here and now, it's conclusive portent.  The latter could be intolerable for its imminence; it’s here and hereafter, maybe ever after, it's inconclusive portent.  Pitchfork thinks that BHO devoutly wishes the former and self-destructs on the latter. 

Overdone is on the menu?

What first strikes the ‘fork about BHO’s crisis condition is the massing – crises without end, amen.**

**Apology for missing missteps.  Note that a few of these matters started as much as many decades ago, though BHO’s tractionless on any of ‘em, Pitchfork opines.  No effort was made to order this lizard list except to sort of alphabetize; it’s cascade without counterpoint speaks for itself, ya think?

So, what’s your problem?

In this lizard list are matters mighty small to call crises – more like tugs at the senses of national well-being.  And in this lizard list are matters mighty big to call crises – more like tragedies and templates for more tragedies. 

But this isn’t Pitchfork’s game, this cacophony of crises meager and monumental.  These are the signposts to Pitchfork’s sensibilities.

The ‘fork counts common coin in the crises, as BHO’s signature centerpiece, the consummate and consuming condition, in his nature –

• BHO’s always in the hunt – giver, taker, doer, undoer, dealer, denier, deferrer, delayer, disser, don, diddler

• The American Way is always disfavored – for collectivism, assigned gain, capitalist deconstruction, liberty lost, lawlessness, studied indifference, self, etc.

• Resolutions are hard come-by or not come-by at all – seemingly, no crisis management process, no effective crisis management: garbled and gagged crisis management communication; tortured crisis management pr; pitiable patronage; no crisis management intervention; unclear course, commitment, and conclusion to crisis management solutions; passionless presentation and puerile, paltry representation; no calm; no peace 

• Monomaniacal momentum to keep going against the commonweal – no reprieve; no reciprocation; no reward; no reset; no restitution; no responsibility; no repentance; no remand; no respect; no reaction; no reconsideration; no reconciliation

• Siren signal impotence and incompetence of government to git-er-dun on paths littered with leftovers of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; existential instability of expectation; a crisis of government intervention; enuf already

The Deal

Maybe time’ll take Auden’s unrhyme off the nation’s back . . .

“We would rather be ruined than changed;
We would rather d.. in our dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions d...”
Wystan Hugh Auden

Pitchfork once authored the 10 commandments of American homeland survival, the 10^th being . . .

Instill in the enemy only fear, hesitation, confusion, and surprise –

of despair, despondency, and dread.

Pitchfork.

Does it come to you that BHO is to America as enemy is to ally?  Ya think?
