No Entertainment Like The Idiot Box #2
4 minute read
Again, slow morning, last post was 48hrs ago. Jeez. Thought blogging on steemit would be all easy peasy, travel blog, food blog, see something cool blog about it. Rather this is work, creative work. Anyways, time for a distraction.
Mental filters. Check.
Bullshit analyser. Check.
10 meters (outside screen radiation) distance. Check.
Mantra, I will not get hypnotized. I will not be hypnotized. I will not become hypnotized. Check.
We jump in. Straight to the news channels, before the never ending TV shows sucks me in. It's Bullshit Broadcasting Corporation today.
Trump meets Putin and they shake hands sit around a table and sing kumbaya!
House of Cards, Art influencing life
The annual G20 show is on, with all the jerks, goons and protesting zombies. Literally this year we have zombies! Yay!

The only thing missing was weed, booze and strippers. Not sure Putin is a coke head. They did escort all the journalists out of the room later for some privacy and Melania did sit next to Putin, so maybe Trump had a VIP lap dance treat for him.
I don't know, they won't say.

Hosting Ma'am Merkel was all smiles and giggles with Xi, hmmm. But scolding Trump and rolling her eyes at Putin. As the extravaganza was about to begin, with the same old same old. Global fair trade, yeah right. Climate is changing, let's pay more lip service. Will someone anyone contain Kim Jong Un?
Mother Merkel seems to be the only one that actually is thinking of a sustainable solution to the European migration problem. She suggested how about we go over to Africa and help them build stuff that will keep them busy and happy at home. So they stop crossing the Mediterranean and dying weekly in droves. Since we have now offed Gaddafi, who used to be our North African gatekeeper in decades past. Trump? couldn't be less interested, I am not affected. Putin? naah, Xi? OK, yes ma'am.
I took a look at the faces of these people and for a second I just imagined the Starship Enterprise or some Empire Starship arriving just on time and non terrestrial delegates beaming on to address the G20 leaders formally. These people will be the ones ACTUALLY representing our planet, speaking on our behalf. I don't know why it's hilarious to me, because I doubt those intelligent beings will take us seriously. People are starving, poverty reigns supreme in more than half of the surface dwellers, while wars are raging and some 20+ clowns sit and chat and have a politician holiday, when craziness is amok on the planet.
Take me to your leaders ©Amp
I heard comedian Bill Burr say how is it that war is even still legal, when almost everyone knows that
News talking heads say this might be the last time the US will be the overall leader, hence these four Merkel, Xi, Putin, Trump are in the spotlight. Xi's China not being ready yet to lead alone.
How about we slaves wake-up and come together in numbers and decide to settle all our beef in the old fashion way, blood sport. We put all twenty of you in the hexagon, and draw straws who challenges who. Last man standing rules the world. My money is on Putin, blackbelt Taekwondo. I see him decapitating Trump with one roundhouse kick, but again who knows Trump might have some Wilson Fisk shenanigans. And Xi might just be a wing chun Kungfu master. Ofcourse in the true spirit of egalitarianism, all the ladies compete also, if Amanda Nunes is in the hexagon so will you Theresa May. Christine Largarde might settle her way out. All of them wearing their signature garb, Trump and his Tie, Putin barechested. Mother Merkel as host will be scolding the boys from outside the hexagon. We will see how long wars will continue if this was how we went to war.
Ofcourse all the protests are raging outside in the streets, as expected.
It's like the Oscars, there must be the razzies. A few years ago the protests used to be all about global warming, which now has undergone metamorphosis to the more politically correct, climate change. Heck the US has now pulled out of the deal. This year's protests are all about Capitalism-the zombie apocalypse of the materialistic masses. It only just induced a yawn from me, because whether we burn down Hamburg or play the living dead. In a few years we will be back to the same issues, just with a different nomenclature. What we really need is a planet wide revolution of consciousness.
I will get back to work now.
Fantastic post. Combines news with criticism and a good helping of humor. Helps that I tend to agree with most of it. Thanks for posting!
Cheers man.
