RUDIMENTS, pt. 965

(watch out, troglodytes)

As a kid, I can remember one

very odd thing that that always

stood out. I seem to think

of it as mid or late 1950's

and having to do with black

and white TV (metaphor for

race relations?). The product

was advertised plainly, as

was normal in those simpler

days -  a deep toned, dulcet

voiced narrator, in his pear

shaped tone going on about

iron-poor blood and how that

was responsible for so much

of the tired and lethargic, run

down behavior that, I guess,

was so prevalent (?) then. The

product was 'Serutan.' It

was some sort of syrup they

wished for you to take daily,

like cough medicine. And

at the close the announcer

would say, 'Remember,

Serutan is 'Natures' spelled

backwards. I was never sure

what he was meaning to say;

firstly, the question of the

possessive apostrophe always

jumped right up at me. What

had they done about that? Just

dropped it? Did they mean

that taking this syrup to fortify

your deficient blood was a

natural form of cure? If so,

why didn't nature already have

that taken care of? Isn't that

what Nature was about? Where'd

they get the presumption to claim

this quack-medicine, in a very

large way, as legitimate stuff?

Who was running this crap, and

why did no one speak up? But,

those were the ways of the times;

every wonder-formulated BS was

peddled. They had nullified an
entire concept, for their own 
purposes. Wonder Bread, building

strong bodies 12 ways? That

pulp-bread made of nothing but

air? One could tell it was simply

heavily-aerated light dough, and

because it was so bad it had to be

pumped up with these 'needed'

vitamins and minerals to be of any

value past bread-chewing-gum.

Empty. Airless. And pathetic. The

American marketing monster was

already underway. TV was it's

new, most lame, mouthpiece.

Like now, people believed

anything they were told. By

contrast, now, International

Flavors and Formulations, down

along Route 36, can concoct for

you any essence of any flavor,

all fake, so that if you even

put on drop of its version of

'lemon' in your powdered

poison lemonade, you can

call it so, and call it all-natural

too! IFF also has large corporate

offices in midtown Manhattan,

and I'd hate to dine in their

commissary. Their buildings

along Rt. 36 are two or three

of the cheesiest, crappiest

versions of corporate-budget

architecture I've ever seen. I

have NO idea what they were

thinking. They had a restaurant

there too, for many years, called

'Lakeside Manor.' Except it wasn't

a lake at all and the dining people

there, probably local council people

for their lunches and soirees and

family weddings, like anywhere

else, were ignorant of reality and

yet claimants of being 'in the know'

so as to facilitate this sort of

hoax. The waters of that 'lake'

were cobalt blue with the dumped

accumulations of the chemistry of

their manufactured fake flavors.

For forty years I knew of they

used and dumped into that

breeding ground of pestilence

(and still do, but I don't know

now how it's presently done,

EPA and all. They probably

just color it darker). In any

case, that water, claimed as

a lake, is not a lake, it's a pool

of runoff that flows into the tidal

parts of the Raritan Bay and the

adjacent marsh there (don't take

my word, Sluggo; go see for

yourself. Or better yet, let me

rephrase it : get off your dead,

stupid, ass and do something

for once about a real issue).
This is YOUR life.

In the pre-Civil War days one

of the grandest of American

issues was 'nullification.' A

state took it upon itself to say

NO to a federal measure that

they didn't agree with  -  or at

least that the powers there didn't

agree with. It was mostly aimed

at preserving the slave culture

and forcing the ignoring of

federal edicts; slave states,

fugitives, etc.  All it was, in

reality, was one power-set 

negating, or trying to negate,

the other power-set. What to do?

Nullification was a huge battle.

Now it's being played out in

much the same way, by cities

and stupid-ass pretentious towns

pretending at implements

'sanctuary' towns and zones.

It amounts to nullification, and

agreement to tolerate a sort of

lawlessness that makes no sense.

What it needs to be cured is a

bullet to the head. Those who

fabricate this ridiculous level

of incongruency need to be

forcibly shown, or someone 

needs be 'sacrificed' to show, in

a sort of John Brown moment, 

what's really at stake. As an

individual, if I decide to nullify

traffic lights, taxes and paying

full supermarket prices for

anything, why then am I not

just as valid as those ignorant

council and Mayoral perps 

who selectively implement

a narcissistic form of myopic

self-absorption? I'll run a certain

mute someone right off the road

over that advocation of lawlessness.
These folks now, with their 'sanctuary'
bullshit are advancing lawlessness.
When the lawmakers can't even
recognize the word 'illegal' in illegal
immigrant, and set out to nullify it,
then they should be ready for same 
by me. Lawmakers are now 
advocating the ignoring of laws? 
I shall throw rocks through
the fire station windows, and I shall
throw rocks through the glass of 
Schools 4&5, because I myself don't 
agree with school policies, the new
plans for school destruction, and the
overblown firemen crap we have to
live with? Obviously, there is no
more a factor off 'Law' in anything, 
except  by what assholes choose to
believe? Can you hear me Mayor Widget
and Councilman Stillborn? And, 
in addition, the local ladies of charity
in the burnt-out churches of Avenel, 
they too drag out their crap to defend  
their stupid case. I have news for
you, Sister Clifford, if your Jesus were 
to come back today, he'd have a lot more  
to do than just cleansing the temple. He'd 
overturn the tables, as well, at Town Hall,
at your perverted churches, and he'd set 
fire to the System. Take it from me; 
you're living a sham.

My opinion? If the man had even

the hint of a moral fabric he'd resign

or speak out and vote against it
instead of voting as he's told. But
our present state of affairs gives
us nothing of the sort : in fact,
we go brain-hungry with these
mall-bred sorts in charge. But it 
won't happen. He doesn't have 
that sort of personal honor. Just
so you understand, this action
is AGAINST you, and FOR
lawlessness. These men are
simple-toned criminals who are
packing your town with dirt.

The social structure around here,

in the kingdom now of nullification,

is mostly turning ghetto; even

vaguely Hispanic. It's all cheered

on, of course, by the criminals

who make money off it. I don't

know where it leads, but I've

already declared war; so watch

out, troglodytes.

-

I'm continually amazed by the

lack of citizen action I see in a

supposed freemans' democracy.

Everyone just sucks their thumbs,

(I hope just that), while the jets

careen overhead, the projects

proliferate, the creatures at #64

go on and on, continuing their 

farce, and the wide-glide

butt-pack of a Mayor just

goes on leading his charge

(and his charges, which is

probably the easiest part).
