Hardly nonsense at all, Perelandra. I believe Bill Hicks right there was doing all there was that was available to him to try and "destroy" the fascism that was taking hold in the US at this time. Be disgusting. If you need beautiful and uplifting screeds from Hicks, you will find those too. But this one, was the one I believe that got Hicks assassinated. I am of the camp he was assassinated. I am also of the camp that Bill Hicks was one of the most important figures that should America see a new revolution, he will figure quite considerably in it.

Do I know? No. I, personally think he was assassinated by the family that believes itself to be American royalty. Is what he said offensive and disgusting? Yes. That was the point. It was to offend the Satanic Bush family, not you and your gender. That's how I see it and also how I fully believe he meant it. The asshole wasn't an idiot, but a firebrand that tested the limits of free speech within the norms of the time and the steady march of idiocracy he portended. (see his American Gladiators commentary)

Whether you want to believe it or not, Bill Hicks did everything he could and I would suggest, sacrificed his life, so that we can be here today, talking on the webs. He needed to use this terminology in order to make a point. This was before the Internet. Before "trolls". Before tweeting. He used his mind and expressed "full spectrum dominance" on that which was unprepared to respond to such a thing known as "calling one out". Hicks called it. He spoke his mind. Didn't mince any words. And didn't give a fuck whether Perelandra or Barbara Bush was offended. (I'm certainly not comparing or equating you to Barbara bush, Perelandra)

Hardly was this offensive any more so than the Bush family's 10s of millions dead through their many decades of death they have brought the world (that we can historically track down -- WWI on up to now). Hicks called it and Bush's beautiful mind well before she did. While Hicks was personally offending in the most stark terms available, the bush's were busy exterminating tens of thousands of humans on the "Highway of Death".

There is nothing gratuitous, nonsensical or ugly about anything that I have seen concerning Bill Hicks ever. Obscene? Yes. 101% less obscene than fucking genocide though. Save your disgust for the bush clan and their hangers-on. Barbara Bush is a specimen of such evil, in my book, that it would take a million Hicks to amount to. 100 million G HW bush's and 1 billion dubyas.

Bill Hicks is a saint.

and I second that.

Bill Hicks is a saint.

That's fine that you feel that way, there's no accounting for taste. Strange that even though I was vehemently disgusted by the Bushes twenty-odd years ago, I only heard of Hicks recently, maybe even here.

Anyway, although he had a right and maybe a moral obligation to utter his philosophies, I don't think that applies to inserting obscenities in print in a forum which includes kids, grandmas, and survivors of abuse. It could be considered triggering, even. That's what I find gratuitous. Do you understand? Have a heart, provide a warning or a link, at least.

I have to disagree Pere, the Bushes (less the youngest as it wasn't or isn't their fault, yet) deserve whatever vitriol is spewed their way and Bill's was brilliant. Too bad he's not around anymore.

Of the survivors around here I'd guess there are one or two who may have had first hand encounters, to employ a euphemism, that will never be addressed by any form of justice process. No indeed, anything that gets close to tarnishing the Bushes in that arena, well, tends to die, or lose its livelihood. At least one recent example comes to mind.

I really couldn't disagree with you more.

Truth has become such an increasingly rare commodity in our age, it is precious — and should be welcome! — no matter what packaging it arrives in.

I understand completely, Perelandra. However, I cannot apologize for Hicks. I sometimes think meaning and context get confused/conflated around here -- which is perfectly fine and must be worked through. Hicks was making a direct attack on fascist republicans, not to you, grandmas, kids or survivors of abuse. I view it as, they were so unfortunately evil that he needed to "obliterate" them in a method that would make everybody stop and think and keep going doing their part "obliterating" them further. Though there is no proof of this, he was the one assassinated for his deeds, not us, grandmas, kids and victims of abuse alike. Who in the early 90s was calling spades spades? They were few and far between.

I agree with you, it's offensive. However, that was its intent, which is the intent of embarrassing the powerful and evil and I would totally let a kid listen to that as long as he/she understood the evil that was being summarily dispatched with his language by Mr. Hicks.

You could have rolled with an Andrew Dice Clay in those days. He was the epitome of offensiveness with no other goal than to titillate mindless sexual roles and skew them into the misogynist and ultimately hurtful. Hicks was intentionally insulting the bushes and limbaugh with exactly what they believed insofar as their untouchable realm of right wing elitism. Note how he mentions barbara bush's pearl necklace. Nice, intelligent and timeless touch. He was striking at the heart of the Bush and Prescott families' evil with a small note of how sick they are via her necklaces. In a deft swoop he completely hammered the Bush's that could not be allowed to ever stand again. And it wouldn't.

Hicks was an intuitive prophet.

So many "comedians" now days who touch on politics play their left gatekeeper court jester role perfectly. I know people think Colbert was "edgy and daring" during his live roast of the neocons...Colbert, and I even hate to say Stewart play a role in keeping things in place. A steamvalve for the left.

Bill Hicks was something else. You look at his rants against Rush/Helms/Poppy, the Iraq war and war profiteering, madison avenue, corporations JFK assassination, Waco, etc...so unbelievably deconstructive and visionary.

[8bitagent]

I hate it when conservatives, moderates and liberals cry out for the days of the "good Bush". As if Herbert Skinwalker Bush was "better than his dumb son". These people just don't know they're history.

I mean Poppy was using Noriega as a top drug CIA man, then when Noriega turned Poppy ordered a military attack which resulted in over 3000 Panamanians being killed around Christmas. (evidence that they even used high powered microwave rays which rendered people as globs of gelantanous waste)

I've long felt behind that calm demeanor of "elderly statesmen" was a very dark twilight side. Now Poppy and Babs can claim they were at an Outback Steakhouse the morning of 9/11 having breakfast over discussions of progressive racial milestones, but I am not sure I can buy that. (this is what GHWB says in his biography. The day before he was rubbing shoulders with the head of the bin Ladens at the Ritz Carlton)

No argument there. Even though I found that particular bit offensive, unfunny, and unhelpful, I accept that others feel differently. Nor do I think his more valuable insights need any defense, he was brilliant.

However, I do still hold with the common courtesy of warning readers who are approaching graphic content. Just call me old-fashioned.

I will celebrate the day the evil old bastard no longer exists and hope for some form of justice.

[8bitagent]

I do agree about challenging/harsh material needing a warning. For all 'truthseekers' I recommend John Pilger's documentaries, but I warn that a lot of the content is very hard to stomach.

Speaking of pyramids and numerology...

1111 x 1111 = 1234321

Hate to be the party pooper but there does appear to be diverging rather than converging perspective on that pyramid. LOL.

Hate to poop on your party pooping, but if he was holding the pyramid at an angle that is exactly how it would look. seeing how he is sitting on a bed him holding it perfectly in line to the angle of the camera lens, which seems to be facing downwards, means it is pretty unlikely for it to happen. The book underneath has the same perspective as well, just further proof.

As lover of all things Caprine (and as someone born under their sign) myself, I find the treatment of my friend GoatBoy (on the right, in brown) in this video very rude.
I think he was saying goat boy looks like a sheep or something equally awful.

You may have seen...

Randy Pan the Goat Boy. (Comes with major warnings)

In fact I won't link to it, if you know it you know it.

Anyway there is always this association of the bushes with Pan and Goats, but I can never associate the Bushes with goat boy. Authoritarian, puritanical, power mad psychos who trash the planet don't mix with hedonistic, anarchistic nature gods.
