A Child's Tale

Once upon a time, there was a large bulge bracket banking and securities firm named Platinum Richard. Platinum Richard primarily dealt with financial securities, including investment banking.

No entity - it would be doing Platinum Richard a disservice to call them a "corporation" - is entirely good or bad, to be honest. That said, In a world of bad companies, Platinum Richard was one of the  very most poorly behaved. Shame on them.

A naughty company, stealing from the garden and being very disrespectful!



Eventually one of Platinum Richard's friends came forward with some scary facts. Remember, kids - if you think something is wrong, talk about it with a parent or teacher (but not an executive)!.

Platinum Richard didn't seem to care. Times are very good when you can steal from the garden!



Unfortunately when Platinum Richard's friend told his story to the town it turned out that people didn't like him quite as much! In fact, that nasty story cost Platnium Richard $2.15 billion and counting - yes, two point one five billion dollars. Share prices continue to slide in Platinum Richard as we speak.



What's the moral? There is no moral, children. Daddy's tired now. Leave him alone.

    I wanted to mix a little Beatrix Potter with a little culinary reality, although I don't see long pig as a probable option on the upcoming menu any time soon :-)

Apparently, Liberals Are The Illuminati

posted 10/5/2012 by the Salt City Sinner Greetings, sheeple, from my stronghold high atop the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Salt City, where I type this before a massive, glowing bank of monitors that display the ongoing progress of my 23-point plan for complete social control. Whether you want to demonize me as a "liberal," or prefer the Glenn Beck update "progressive," we all know the truth, and it's time to pull the curtain aside: like all left-leaning persons, I am actually a member of the Illuminati. How else to explain how much power my side of the aisle wields in U.S. American politics? According to conservatives, liberals/the Illuminati control the media * , science * , academia in general * , public schools * , public radio * , pretty much anything "public," the courts * , and Hollywood * . Hell, we pretty much control everything except for scrappy, underdog operations like WND and Fox News, or quiet, marginalized voices like...

Where (Else) to Find My Writing

REGULARLY UPDATED Posted on 1/9/2020  - UPDATED 2/4/2025 MY FULL-LENGTH   NONFICTION DEBUT! BLACK SUNRISE ON PISS EARTH: FASCISM, NIHILISM, AND THE 21ST CENTURY OCCULT Black Sunrise on Piss Earth: Fascism, Nihilism, and the 21st Century Occult is a nonfiction, anti-fascist, punk rock, and no-holds-barred look at the role that nihilism and the postmodern occult have played in the development of fascist movements in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and elsewhere – a coordinated movement I call the Fascist Internationale. The manuscript’s title is a reference to Piss Earth 2025, a piece of fascist agitprop that I respond to, using my refutation as a framework for looking at the dangerous, deadly, and dumbass ideas undergirding everything from QAnon and Christian Identity to Nazi Satanist- worshipers the Order of Nine Angles and portions of the Asatru (Norse Pantheon worship) and chaos magick communities.

May Day, Salt Lake City

By
Posted on 5/1/2012 by the Salt City Sinner It was a glorious spring day in Salt City today.So why not get some exercise in the form of a protest march celebrating May Day ? Our goal was to meet at the City County Building and march to the capitol. The crowd started to gather at the City County building at 3:00 PM, MST. The big news on the street was that the Black Bloc would be in attendance ( my views on the Bloc are mixed at best). Were there Black Bloc comrades* at today's march? Yes, there were: The real  story here is that we had an ally far more lovable (but I would argue less flexible) than the Bloc on our side. Gumby. My favorite sign by far: And we marched! At one point the protesters were too many to stay on the sidewalk and spilled into the street, effectively stopping traffic. The cops (who were already on scene) blared their sirens and ominously intoned "STAY OFF THE STREET" through bullhorns. The response? Protes...
