Mundtadar al-Zaidi Day 2023

A Memorable Moment in Time

On this day in the 2008 year, the heroic journalist, Mundtadar al-Zaidi, threw his shoes at Bush Jr. (aka “Shrub”) to protest the illegal invasion of Iraq.

“This is for you, dog!”

“This is for you, dog, a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people. This is for the widows and orphans, for all those who died in Iraq,” al-Zaidi yelled as he launched both shoes. Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa! Praise Molech!

The recertification process at the “old folks home” in Waikiki continues to be a problem. A self-affidavit was submitted a few days ago concerning Aunty Lyn’s annuity death benefit as requested by the management. However, the tawdry drama appears to not be over. At this point, eviction has become a real possibility.

The local weather cleared for a couple of days. Then, a cold front accompanied by rain and gusty winds followed. So, there have been no evening outings during that period. Sitting in the mausoleum all evening is very melancholic, to say the least. Can you say, “FOMO”?

The central bank of empire has kept the short-term interest rate steady, but there’s a new twist. Apparently, ZIRP is coming back with a vengeance. A series of rate cuts will commence during the middle of the 2024 year and continue until ZIRP is achieved. Well, there won’t be any spending sprees from this point forward, eh?

The alleged goal of tackling high inflation has been met, so the rate cuts are justified. That is, of course, pure bullshit. All costs have gone up and continue to rise unabated. Countering inflation was never the objective of the central bank of empire, as stated previously in Notes.

Miscellany: Congratulations to Dr. Jane Ruby! The defamation lawsuit launched against her by Robert Malone has been dismissed by the court as frivolous.

Addendum: An article about heroic Iraqi journalist, Mundtadar al-Zaidi, also appeared on the Sputnik site.

Postscript: A report by the New York branch of the central bank of empire provides the real reason for ZIRP. The figures do not include corporate or sovereign debt. Consumer debt is $17.29 trillion and rising. Cheap money is the only thing sustaining the economy of empire. Everyone in empire is reliant on debt!
