Google, your data suppression methods are obvious, easily recorded, abysmally inept and generally pathetic.

The simple fact that you actively engage in suppressing this and other alternative news sites means we have won and TRUTH will prevail in the end.

A Peculiar Beast
by zeno Friday, Feb 3 2017, 10:27pm
international / poetry / post

a huge, peculiar breathing animal
is swimming underwater at present -
it has a long air retention span
but it must breathe at some stage

it has been pressed underwater
by the consequences of its own
foolish actions
yet it is bursting for air

will it drown as a consequence of its own folly
or will it be drowned by external pressures?

the surface world sees the plight of this
cursed beast, destined to die, but also desirous
of suffocating the surface world -- remedial
action must be taken

leaders of the surface world are deliberating
over the problem which faces them all,
how to prevent this beast dragging
others into oblivion with it?

no wars are necessary -- simply withdraw support
for its respirating lungs

and so it was decided to allow this beast
to die alone by simply rejecting the greenback
as the world’s default currency

why subscribe to the suffocating mechanisms
of a doomed species?
