Not long ago, I was going through two gallons of skim milk per week – just putting it in my coffee! (mostly decaf, natch)

If you want to know why it’s been so warm lately, THAT’S why – all the bovine flatulence I’ve been supporting.

” People will have to be rationed to four modest portions of meat and one litre of milk a week if the world is to avoid run-away climate change, a major new report warns. ”

btw, my favorite inconvenience store name is one in McMinnville, OR: the McMiniMart.

But it never really happened. Computers greatly increased and improved employment. Corporations snooped, but did so to gather data to turn a buck, not to blackmail a man into obeisance.

Even public cameras did not take away our freedoms, they just resulted in a lot of bank robberies and other crimes being solved and greater public safety. (And if you get a ticket in the mail for running a red light, you’ll get little sympathy off of me.)

We gained the ability to track via bug, but all we did, mainly, was to chip our pets so they could be found when lost.

Who would have thought Free Man would have been so moral, so responsible relative to enhanced capabilities?

But now we start to see a very disturbing trend. An intrusive, insidious control by the self-righteous. If these dangerous bozos get their way, they’ll be writing us right into the science fiction horror books. They are to be stopped in their tracks. We have only our vote to stop them. Use it.

” Good news! Big brother can now track your travel, location and carbon footprint 24×7 – for the good of the planet. ”

Gotta hand it to those folks over in Airstrip One – they’re always a couple years ahead of us when it comes to this planet-saving technology

” Carbon surveillance: Cellphones to track ‘whether you are walking, driving or flying’… ”

“.. we are very concerned about whether it is really good (that stores) stay lit up even past midnight,” Ando said…”

” Umm? No, he isn’t. If he were VERY concerned about this he would be incandescent about street lights. But he’s not. So it’s just something to say to the press when the focus group picks another target to keep the Eco-brand in front of the public. ”

I think you’ve hit on it.

I wondered when I saw this, of all things, why convenience stores?

Now I think I know.

1 – They sell tobacco

2 – They sell highly processed, non-organic, non-vegan, non-fair-trade food and beverages – disgusting cow-murder products such as “Slim Jims” and murdered-cow-jerky; cheap, industrial, exploitative coffee-like beverage and high-fructose-corn-syrup drinks

3 – They are notorious purveyors of certain non-feminist graphic journals

4 – Eco-snobs NEVER shop there!

Bezmenov predicted exactly what has been happening over the last two decades. Read the financial news this morning if you doubt it.

New York Times – September 30, 1999

In moving, even tentatively, into this new area of lending, Fannie Mae is taking on significantly more risk, which may not pose any difficulties during flush economic times. But the government-subsidized corporation may run into trouble in an economic downturn, prompting a government rescue similar to that of the savings and loan industry in the 1980′s.

‘From the perspective of many people, including me, this is another thrift industry growing up around us,” said Peter Wallison a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. ”If they fail, the government will have to step up and bail them out the way it stepped up and bailed out the thrift industry.”
