A Generation of Liars

Peering through news headlines and media content, I cringe while cherry picking the news items to display here on iBC. I made a personal promise to myself to avoid publishing content regarding politics or THE FUCKING HEADCUTTERS who live in middle earth. I did so, not because some of you pussies are upset by it. I did it to remain focused on what the stated goals are here: making money in the markets. In this day and age, it’s very easy to get distracted by things that we can never control.

You might like Clinton or Trump and that’s your prerogative. But you will NEVER effect change in this country, unless you wield power. You can do so, in my estimation, through five different paths.

1. Practice law.
2. Become a journalist/drive-by blogger like yours truly.
3. Become a dick sucking politician.
4. Become an activist.
5. Buy it.

If none of those titles appeal to you, then quit bellyaching about things. Your fucking votes are literally meaningless, as demonstrated by the fixed RNC/DNC primaries.

Now the problem with 4 out of those 5 sanctimonious roles (money only rules itself), in this late staged, weakened, western society, is they’re occupied by liars and thieves, sociopaths of the first magnitude–wholly and solely interested in telling very tall fucking lies, in order to promote an agenda and fuck thy neighbor. Today’s gems were based on the scurrilous notion that Trump would pull out of the race, based on pure conjecture, but worded like it was sourced from within the campaign. Naturally, the Trump people told everyone to fuck off and that it wasn’t true. But that didn’t stop the likes of Chuck “DNC Waterboy” Todd from spreading the lie. Look at the headlines on CNBC right now. This is all day, every day, on all of the finance sites I read for news. CNN, Bloomberg, CNBC and most of my Twitter feed have a fucking hard on for Hillary Clinton.

And look at the Popular Lies section.

Popularlies

This is soviet union styled propaganda, circa 1955. It’s the type of journalism that makes you want to unplug the teevee and throw it at someone. Then again, “The Fly” is plagued by violent thoughts, having established an ancient tribalistic mentality, growing up in the fucking sewers of Brooklyn, that must be very foreign to most of you iced cream suckers. I didn’t play tennis as a kid. We played asses up, with hard balls, and played knock out (fight club for kids!) with each other for fun.

This afternoon, the hosts on CNBC, including Drunkard Brian Sullivan, were talking shit all day about Trump. Seeing this, I was vexed and irritated, not because of their yellow journalism, but because these media organizations are allowing themselves to become distracted. They’re veering off the plantation, in order to support a candidate who wouldn’t squat and piss on their stupid heads if it were on fire.

Does this all make you very uneasy? Good.

For this, I regret veering off the plantation myself, wasting your time, discussing topics that aren’t core to the story and history of this site. But unlikes those ham and eggers, pig skinners and hog washers alike, “The Fly” keeps it 100. There isn’t another site out there like iBankCoin. All other finance sites are ridiculous refuse compared to us, not even worthy of my fire pit. I’d let you all burn in the woods, like Californian brush fires.

    Some “mentally disturbed” “lone wolf” youth just slaughtered an old lady in England. With a fucking knife. The propaganda this morning was insane. Harwood is the devils mouthpiece with the face of a fucked up goldfish. Sorry for being the first comment. Know the weak are fumbling thru life desperately wanting someone to blame.

      From what I’ve read, in general, the attitude of Muslims have shifted quite a bit in the last ten years. Used to be about 7-8% of western Muslim supported suicide terrorist attacks. Now, supposedly the number is over 30%. So, now we get things happening here like in Detroit supposedly there were big “allah arkbar” celebrations in the streets during the lastest Paris terror attack.

    This must be an inside joke. iBC is a shadow of its former self due to your continued self-righteousness and ambivalence to the fact that Donald J Trump is a world-class piece of shit wholly unfit to lead this country. He’s literally the least popular major party candidate in modern American politics, yet you blame the media for covering his endless narcissistic dumbfuckery and vacuous policy stances. Then you repeat the same bigotry and misogyny common among Trump simpletons and the Alt-right just to prove that you’re ‘hard’ in some faux internet blog pissing match. You may want to find a more worthy goal in life other than being financial media’s biggest ignorant asshole

      Seriously. Trump doesn’t really need the media’s help to look bad. All you have to do is watch video of the shit he says. Most of the media is about the stupid stuff coming out of his mouth.

      Trump is a blathering loudmouth BLOWHARD. With the right narrative(s). I said last year he should be VP, should have been VP, preserve his presence / following / & voice, get him in there without the otherwise obvious attacks And I STAND BY THAT

      Fuck it Sven and wherever the fuck you’re from, I’ll take the bait.

      Read the comment that Sia made. People can judge Trump by his own words. I grew up thinking this country stood for an ideal. I was a flag waiving democrat who wanted the world to be just like America, because it meant democracy and freedom. As I got older and became more informed, I began to see something very insidious about the workings of government. My whole family is political, some elected for public office, My grandfather ran the democratic club that got Schumer elected for the first time, so don’t come here like a good little liberal, attempting to teach me something about politics or humanity.

      It’s a fucking farce. We are supposed to have a free and independent press, one that serves the people. Instead we have a propaganda arm, not for the DNC as most think, but the entire DNC-RNC cabal. The two party system is a lie. It’s one party and at our expense.

      I want to live in a country that has a media that has integrity and honor and I’m gonna call these fuckers out on it until the day I die.

      Fly blog traffic is at record highs, up 108% over last year and highest its ever been by at least 40%, dating back to 2007.

      So GO FUCK YOURSELF.

    One of the reasons I will come her day after day to read the “word of The Fly” is because “Le Fly” is a man of borders, language, and culture.

    It is hard for me to ascertain weather the extreme bias of the media is revealing the true colors of the “government media complex” to all, and forcing the voting class towards the favor of trump, or if Americans are as stupid as many perceive them to be, and are buying into this bull shit coordinated attack.

    One thing is for sure. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

    Fly, maybe you can limit yourself to one political post a day. As there are some people out on the interwebs (me) that appreciate you opinion and take on the current situation of politics, because you are one of the few rational people left on this earth.

    Great choice on the song. Adds to the message perfectly. Problem is that people don’t like admitting that they are wrong. They won’t admit that the party they believe in is crooked. They take it personally. Bigger men and women are able to overcome that.

    Btw, I miss the songs accompanying the blog posts. Can we get some rick ross in this b****?

    Off subject, I like fire pits. It’s a very relaxing evening sitting outside at the fire pit watching the creation of fire, feeling the heat of combustion and taking in the aroma of pine wood burning. It’s soothing to my soul. Everything must be tried and tested by fire to prove its worth.

    “We don’t care if the guy swears… or how many times he’s been married…or who he voted for, or what his income tax return shows. We want the problems fixed. Yes he’s an egomaniac, but we don’t care. We know he’s not a racist, or bad to women, or all the other things the liberal media is trying to label him with. We know he’s raised a good family, and that says a lot about him.

    The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republican Party is two faced & gutless, and illegals are everywhere and Muslims are openly trying to hurt this country and make the civilized world adjust to them. We want it all fixed!

    We don’t care that Trump is crude, we don’t care that he insults people, we don’t care that he has changed positions, we don’t care that he fights with Megan Kelly, Rosie O’Donnell, and so many of the elected establishment. We don’t care that Rubio, Cruz, Ryan, the Bush’s, and so many other top old and new Republicans refuse to endorse him for their own selfish reasons, and we know what they are. We don’t care that he doesn’t know the name of some Muslim terrorists, we don’t care that he tried some businesses that didn’t work out.

    This country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegals, we are becoming a nation of victims, where every Tom, Ricardo and Hasid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don’t even recognize the country we were born and raised in, AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED. And TRUMP is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want.

    We’re sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic and Republican Party. We’re angry about the Iran deal, the budget, treatment of Israel, military weakness, lobbyists, special interests, overpaid politicians with their self serving bills and back room deals, trade deals, loss of jobs, manipulated economic numbers, businesses fleeing, and even the phoney pay for play Clinton Foundation.

    Americans are no longer going to be fooled, and the movement is out to change the direction we’re taking. Trump may not be a saint, but he doesn’t have lobbyist money holding him, he doesn’t have political correctness restraining him, and all you know is that he has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, he’s flexible, and he’s also not a politician. And he says he’ll fix it. And we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong or looked at and called a liar.

    Public service has become elected greed. This may be our only chance to have a non-politician, despite his flaws, try and correct the mess, at least for 4 years. We must take the shot, because the consequences of putting Hillary Clinton in office are frightening. There is a tidal wave happening, and its going to overcome much of what’s happened to this country.

    There is a silent majority out there who are just waiting until November…I am one of them.

    Amen handyandy. I am a proud Trump supporter. Not afraid to say it either. A w-2 wage earner since the day after I turned 16, which was quite a while ago. Served in the USMC, luckily, from 84 to 88. I want the country I grew up in, back.

    So here another example of Political Correctness that the press will spin with perverse results.

    Yesterday afternoon a 19 year old is taken in police custody in London.

    He has a passion for sharing sharp objects with complete strangers, randomly and spontaneously. He is not a terrorist apparently, he is a Norwegian of Somali origin, or what I refer to as a Somalian with a European passport and the right to free border crossing access.

    The London Police apprehended, arrested and analysed him very quickly and assess that he is just mental, as opposed to those terrorist types who are totally sane and just following a sick agenda.

    So glad that the BBC have assisted the police with clearing up this open and shut case in such a speedy manner. Will his trial be covered and his motivation for the attack be reported on in open court ? Or will the mainstream media simply brush it under the carpet ?

    I’m curious.

    When did his mental illness occur ? Was it in his own country in Africa, before he travelled to Norway. Did it manifest itself in any of the other countries he transited through. Did he develop his psychosis amongst the Fjords and the Blue Parrots but get little or no help ?

    Perhaps he thought that there is one country where he can get free expensive medical treatment, be housed, clothed and fed to a standard much better than where he started. After all 5 years in a secure mental hospital must be better than the life on a small skiff, hijacking vessels in the Gulf of Aden. Mental yes, stupid perhaps no !

    This teenage fruit loop entered a country, presumably legally, due to holding a Norwegian passport. Isn’t the system of open EU borders wonderful ?

    Obviously there’s a family today in the USA who don’t quite think so, there are also 17 million Brits of the same opinion. They are waiting with a growing sense of impatience for the Prime Minister to activate Article 50 and begin the process of separation and the eventual strengthening of our borders. Screening and vetting “guests”, having the ability to decide ourselves who is allowed in.

    This is what Trump wants to do the same in the USA, but is met with extreme criticism, and labelled a racist for telling the truth.
