So, to my Dude friends from across the pond, WTF is up with that News of the World controversy? How are things over there, are people really waking up to the fact that Murdoch is an extra evil version of the Big Lebowski? I know over here he has millions of drones aping any BS they hear from his "news" networks, and I know Fauxe news has won the right in court here, to lie and call it news(for real, it's true, they legally won the right to tell lies under the guise of journalism).
I rightfully blame Fox News(like it's my opinion man) for the sorry state of my country, how's it looking over there? Do you guys think you'll be able to toss the Fox out of the hen house?
Two things that bring out my inner Walter are the drug war and Fauxe News.
Murdoch spies and grifters targeted Prime minister Brown.

The end of the world? Is that going to happen again? I did not know that.
Only on Sundays....it's probably the Germans again! ;D
Fucking nazis, nothing ever changes.
Hey! Wait a minute! It's not Dec 21, 2012 yet! We got another year dudes! ;D
;D The end of the Universe...

heh heh heh... hiding behind the skirt :D
It's just my opinion, man; but how long is it going to take the various societies and countries of the world to stop greedy low life assholes like murdock from owning everything in fucking sight and controlling vital assets such as news multiple outlets?
How many god damn companies does a greedy prick like murdock need own? How much more billions of dollars does this idiotic robber baron need to have? Can these greedy bastards ever have enough?

good rant dude-- here, let me shuffle off the box a little to give you some gesture room.
murdoch is one pike-bastard for sure... but wouldn't those other labels you just tossed off apply to bill gates, and many others of the "benign" super-rich?
How long is it going to take?
Well dude not until they own it all. That's the the whole purpose of the New World Order dudes...so the super rich can get super richer and own the whole fuckin' world.
I say fuck it dudes...just give it to them. Yeah let them have it. Once they win and own it all the game is over...Then what the fuck are they going to do with it?
As long as there's white russians and bowling alleys...fuck em.
The middle way dudes...abide. 8)

this is the key right here dude... we can rage and stomp and shout, but in the end, when you fight, they just fight back with more fuckedness. if you don't participate, then yeah-- what the fuck are they going to do with it? :D
of course, my abidiest attitude is quite different when it comes to pedophiles! ;D
I think one of the problems is what we have been brainwashed into believing what is "valuable." Take diamonds for instance; we believe they of great "value," why...because we have been told they are. But in reality they cost what they do and bring in the money to their "owners" (I am speaking of DeBeers here) because of propaganda, artificially created scarceness, hype, false perceptions of value (aka; perceived value) and generally bullshit. We make diamonds by the trainload for industrial purposes and Debeers literally digs massive piles of the damn things out of the sand in places like South Africa.
What if everyone decided that they were worthless and who needs them? Debeers would have nothing but a pile of worthless junk, about as worthless as beach sand.
In Murdock's case, what if everyone who uses one of "his" products; such as MySpace, stopped using it? He would have nothing but a worthless website.
My point? We empower these greedy nihilists by buying into their propaganda and cooperating with them.
Murdoch and his ilk are just greedy power mad twats....everything in the world would not be enough for them.
They do get my dudeist gander up somewhat! :(
Peace dudes.

good point dude... the 100th monkey thing, in terms of collective realization.
i also like to think of it this way:
... when zombie apocalypse hits, is this "(insert item/idea/person of choice)" going to keep me alive or otherwise enhance my existence? no? then it's probably not too damned important...that pretty much kicks it down to the basics ;D
The STUFF factor and to many PEOPLE and not enough STUFF to go around .... it all adds up to ......
Anyway STUFF comes in two forms STUFF you need and STUFF you want ...... if we did'nt buy the stuff we want WOAH the world would change quickly......
THAT is mY sTuFf aNd i' Am sTickIng tO It......

Love the "100th monkey" example, fucking perfect. As soon as a critical amount of people believe something, everyone is suckered into believing the same propaganda. Conclusion; too many people are monkeys.....and sheep.

I hereby declare and affirm that cow pies are of great value and are perfect for wedding rings (cow pies are a girl's best friend); therefore I have raised the price of cow pies to $1000.00 a "caret" and will be selling custom cut cow pie "stones" on my new website "PreciousCowPiesForHer.com."
Behold the beauty..............

can i get that cow pie in a marquis? ;D
Too many cowpies to go around, though, eh? Cows are just natural pie makers. & there's the rub!
We'll all have our cowpie stash & then someone will think, hey! I want your dirt pancakes & someone else would squander all theirs on a big box of Dr Peppers & the whole durn comedy will start again.
Take gold, there is fifteen times more silver in the world than gold. Hence silver should be fifteen times the price. It ain't, because of market manipulation by the so-called shadow banking system.
It's the lack of something that gives it value, I'm afraid.
Like kindness.
......and that's cool....
Itsa sad & bee-yoo-tifool world ...

Full of happy, ugly people :)
If there is 15 times more silver shouldn't it be 1/15th the price?
indeed! but there's pricing manipulation to be taken into account on account of shorts & all that underhand stuff to stop investment banks like JPMORGAN welshing on their bets.
They are the real BIG LEBOWSKIS of the world.
Here's an example:

but google SILVER SHORTS MANIPULATION & see how many hits you get.

I'm no expert just a simpleton & political atheist trying to educate myself as to why we're in this mess.
When the "revolution" comes I'll be on my veranda in my undies drinking Strawberry Daiquiris & holding an umbrella to shelter from the shite hitting the fan.
Great to hear of a guy challenging the way people think of money at his show in the Edinburgh Fringe at the moment:

A fairly Dudely message on loosening your perception on what money is. It's just a token man, in exchange for your efforts. Money is just the barter system, only it fits better in your wallet and is open ot more abusse/corruption!
