A Comedy of Fiscal Errors

by Jason Thomas Kocher October 12th, 2008 - Surrealpolitik »

Like some good-old, dry Monty Python sketch. This from an Australian satire show called Newstopia, the video originally seen at Campaign for Liberty. With a spoonful of sugar to taste, better said than I can say though I’ll say it anyway…

Central banking (U.S. Federal Reserve) and fiat currency are both a bit of corrupted magic done by men who may or may not know better.

Carpe Que Sera Sera PART 1

by Jason Thomas Kocher June 25th, 2008 - Antisocial Studies » Surrealpolitik »

I never wanted to be a prizefighter. No aspirations…whatsoever.

“You gotta keep your head up!”

I spit out a spiraling wad of flem and gauze, blood and tissue, “Yeah…thanks Mickey…Mickey? Mickey, you…when did you become an elderly black lady?”

What the fuck…(spitting more blood)…what the fuck happened!? Where the fuck am I?!

Out of a second flash of what was a stronger haze, my mind and its eye are able to grasp the form of two kids running down the street. Two kids….two kids…
