A Star of David made of chemtrails would be peak Dees and I am surprised it hasn't happened, at least to my knowledge.

Uncertainty is inherently unsustainable. Eventually, everything either is or isn't.
The chemtrails thing seems especially crazy when there are so many more real things you could attach conspiracies to.

What about the toxic grayish purplish sludge that pours out of factories and then rivers sometimes catch on fire? Cause that shot is crazy and real and seems like people could take a conspiracy angle really easily. But nope it's chemtrails that don't do anything!

It's because the sludge pouring out of factories is a real thing that they can see, with a clear responsible party they can fight against.

Chemtrails lets them imagine whatever enemy they want, and since that enemy is imaginary good at concealing themselves, they don't actually have to do anything about it.

Petitioning a local factory to stop pouring mercury into the town's water supply is hard and requires giving up weekends to protest...It may even make people think you're a liberal! (:barf:) Taking colloidal silver and shaking your fist at jet engine vapor trails, though...That can be done from the comfy armchair in your living room, and you'll never really stop it, so you'll always have a threat to satisfy your need to make a difference.

That kind of sounds like he spent 10 minutes jacking off or something.

But seriously, good on Rall for an actual good comic where he wasn't actually a total shithead or spent half of a self-insert strip talking about how awesome he is.

Deep Throat was the secret source who led Woodward and Bernstein to break the Watergate story that brought down Richard Nixon.

I never heard of Deep State until a few weeks ago. That’s when quotes from unnamed sources started turning up in news stories about alleged connections between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. The anonymous sources came from intelligence in the permanent government known as the “Deep State.” That would be the state previously known as the bureaucracy.

The Resist Trump crowd is hoping Deep State will work some Deep Throat magic on Donald Trump

Anyway, none of the Russian allegations were proven but they still managed to bring down National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. Now the Deep State is following the same playbook to bring down Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Rush Limbaugh thinks the Deep State is conspiring with the Mainstream Media to sabotage the Trump presidency. The muckraking investigative news website Consortiumnews.com seems to agree with Rush. Writing for Consortiumnews.com, Daniel Lazar quotes NYT reporters Glenn Thrush and Michale Grynbaum bragging that,”Trump is being force-fed lessons all presidents eventually learn – that the iron triangle of the Washington press corps, West Wing staff and federal bureaucracy is simply too powerful to bully.” Lazare – no fan of Trump – is skeptical:

quote:

Iron triangle? Permanent government? In its tale of how Trump went from being a favorite of the New York Post and Daily News to fodder for the big-time Washington news media, the Times seems to be going out of its way to confirm dark paranoid fears of a “deep state” lurking behind the scenes and dictating what political leaders can and cannot do.

…Entrenched interests are nothing new, of course. But a major news outlet bragging about collaborating with such elements in order to cripple a legally established government is.

…So if the conflict between president and the deep state ever comes down to a question of legitimacy, there is no doubt who will come out ahead: The Donald.

Let's be frank with ourselves and say it's a good thing when it's impeding things you don't like and bad when they're things you do. That said, people have been warning about how the term can be used to create a nebulous enemy to rail against, rather than the more mundane aspects of Trump's inability to get anything done (no transition planning until after election day, no significant government experience, Trump's magical ability to infuriate nearly everyone whose help he would need to actually accomplish anything, etc.).

The reference to "adamasexual," which I wasn't able to find by Googling, made me briefly wonder if Adam was even vaguely aware of Gnostic concepts like the Geradamas (an asexual, "perfect" human, an emanation of the true Gnostic Creator).

The thought only lasted long enough for me to poo poo this out.
