Non to 2007! Declare A Moratorium On The Future!

User avatar
AFP.jpg

Trois acclamations to the French!

How come we didn't think of this first? This grande idée has all necessary elements of a progressive protest. The BBC and UPI report on a New Year's demonstration in the French city of Nantes, where the protesters waved banners reading: "No to 2007" and "Now is better!"

The marchers called on world leaders and the United Nations to intervene in the "mad race" of time and declare a moratorium on the future. With the arrival of 2007, as their demands remained unmet, the protesters realigned their efforts against a new target, chanting "No to 2008!" They also vowed to stage a similar protest on Dec. 31, 2007 in Paris.

Something tells us the BBC understated the protesters' motives, describing them as "taking French restiveness to extremes." In our view this is very much in line with what the People's Cube has been doing all along, distilling the essence of the progressive ideology.Three progressive cheers to the French comrades! Trois acclamations!

Une très bonne nouvelle année 2007!

And it looks like they have a petition to sign! Down with 2007! All of us need to sign the petition. But where is it?

It's too late, just like Global Warming.
It's already 2007.
But if we go with the Islamic calendar, it's only 1427......Maybe we still got time?

Happy non-New Year, comrades. Hell, why don't we start a movement (and circulate the requisite petition) to reinstate the Julian calendar? We should at least give The People™ the choice to use an alternative calendar if they so desire. Smash Gregorian calendar hegemony! Imagine the subversive possibilities...

And what about that obnoxious little thing known as the 'Leap Year'? In the true spirit of Progressivism, I propose that 'Leap Year' should be henceforth declared 'Great Leap Forward Year'.

Which means that in 20 years Muslims will discover book printing (1447), and there's only 65 years left before they discover America (1492)... Wait, there's also 26 years left until the fall of Constantinople (1453). Will the Turks finally get out of Turkey then? Not in this version of the time space continuum, Jerry. Not in this version. But if we blow really hard, Jerry, perhaps we can change it? Got more of that stuff in your car?

Now where is that hot little dead doe?!?

Of course the Party thought of it first. Check your folder entitled "revisionist history" and you will see that it is so. These frauds are already planning a future demonstration against the future future? Ours will be spontaneous!

Too good to be true!

In his study of French popular reaction to America after 9/11, "Anti-Americanism," Jean-Francois Revel noted a protest banner that had read: "NO TO TERRORISM! NO TO WAR!" He said it's like saying, "NO TO ILLNESS! NO TO MEDICINE!"

These people caught Jean-Francois's drift!

by the way...Comrades!!! This is amazing!!! I listened to Comrade Art Bell's show the other night, and he had on all the best Comrade Psychics. One was lauding himself because he said, "There are going to be many demonstrations in 2006. . . especially from the French. " What GENIUSES! We need to hire some of these Comrades for the good of the collective.

I'm not talking about the fffrench. I'm talking about geniuses who can predict French people will demonstrate against anything or nothing, especially in downtown Paris, and especially in the way of YOU if you want to get somewhere.

Like all of you, I admire the French and respect that only they alone can decide when a war is just or not, and for their glorious, progressive welfare state. But we had to enter 2007, otherwise, the Party would never be installed in their rightful majority status i Washington. If 2007 had been stopped from coming, Comrade Pelosi would never be sworn in as Speaker of the House of Peoples' Representatives. Likewise, we must enter 2008 eventually, because that is when our deceased comrades will sweep HRC into her rightful throne. Progress is inevitable, and as Democrats, we must welcome 2007 and 2008, the years in which we can assist our brave "freedom fighters" in the destruction of Amerika.

Several years ago the Party decided to test psychics, to see how well they could see their own future. First, a Committee on Future Predictions decided what would happen to the psychics in the near future. They wrote the psychics fate down on a piece of paper. The only thing the psychics had to do was predict their very own fate that the committee had decided. The test proved quite conclusive. The Committee on Future Predictions found that none of the self-proclaimed psychics came even close to predicting their own individual fates. But the psychics have become quite famous anyway. The Party made them into a traveling science show of body parts:

These are some very diverse, awareness-raising Democrat necro-proxy voters, Comrade Otis. They sacrificed their lives for the science and the Party, which is almost one and the same. One of them seems to be still smoking. Apparently the Party trial scientists had just finished using her/it as an exhibit in a successful class-action lawsuit against the Big Tobacco.

The Committee on Future Predictions, as comrade Otis pointed out, has done a lot of work on the possible future of colonized orbital space. Hopefully, in time, comrade Goodspaceguy Nelson will chair the committee and have access to all the tax-dollars he wants to get this project off the ground.

I talked to John Edward about Saddam, and he has confirmed to me that he is voting in Ill. 3rd Congressional District. I'm not sure if this 100% accurate - but it is pretty damn close.

Branish is right, this is a progressive New Year. 2007 will be remembered as a glorious year where the Democrats come into office, and National Socialism begins. Pelosi had already taken hold of the peoples hammer:

Welcome to the glorious collective, Comrage R.P. Hedgehog! Your sacrifice shall be duly rewarded when the time comes, and all the deceased Democrat-voting comrades shall raise from their graves, and Ubercomrade HRC shall judge the world in righteousness. We must raise awareness of the Day in which the non-progressives shall give an account of their lives to the Party, and answer why they didn't heed the Party's command to repent when they had that chance.

Hey, nobody said "hi" to me, Tovarischi. :-(

(Not that I expected it, I know my royal roots don't count for anythng anymore, especially since I was probably gunned down somewhere in St. Petersburg somewhere in the early 1920's. But hello to all of you anyway. ;-) I've been here for a couple weeks, reading since the CFK days)

I agree that 2007 promises to be a glorious day for the Party and for the People, a day in which finally the labor of all men (and women, and those in the process of gender reassignment) will be properly rewarded....and the rest of the wealth brought to the truly needy....the party elite*, who need limousines, and personal jets, and expense accounts, and.......

Comrade Tsarevna! (May I call you "comrade"?) For some reason we thought you might be working for the Okhranka or some other reactionary splinter of the overthrown Tsarist regime. But considering your long record of voting Democrat (since the 1920s) we realize that you may have already redeemed your criminal origins. So welcome to the Cube, Comrade Tsarevna! We hope you understand that in guarding the Revolution there is no such thing as overzealousness.
<br>To compensate for the possible anxiety you may have experienced, we award you with a consolation medal of Pavlik Morozov - a heroic Young Pioneer who denounced his father to the proper revolutionary authorities for helping the kulaks.

Comrade Tsarevna, with your medal and new status in the Party come new responsibilities. Please use the form I've linked to below to report all those with reactionary bourgeois ideological tendencies, degenerates, deviationists, corporatist fascists, Black Hundreds, etc. on a daily basis. You'll find there inspirational music to denounce to. And please to know, I've submitted a form denouncing you for being a Party member not wearing a Party avatar.

Of course you may call me "tovarisch", and of course I remember Pavel Morozov! We sang a little song as Octobrists called, "Hello, Pavlick Morozov". And

[In fact, a total aside: my alter ego, who is typing this, works with him. True story. My friend...let's call him Len, age 7, is riding along with his mom and dad to a somewhere-outside-Moscow gas station to trade tires for US dollars...circa 1978. Len stays outside to play in the snow while mom and dad conduct their dissident activities. A plainclothes policeman makes friends with Len. "So, what are you and your parents doing here so far from home?" "Oh! We're getting some American dollars!" From then on, Len's nickname at home was--you guessed it--Pavlik Morozov!

His parents got through that incident by sharing some of the US dollars with the plainclothes policeman, but eventually the authorities got so sick of Len's mom they let her defect...to OHIO! No matter, friends, Len has ALWAYS voted Democrat----I think----and next year, he will be a psychiatrist working at a VA hospital in a midwestern state! What an opportunity for blatant mind control!!!!! Heh heh heh heh.......]

Respected Tovarish Otis, I myself have been aware that the "denounce" function at cyber ussr has not been functioning for at least 4 years. Not even the mailbox it routes to is a functioning one. I am surprised, given your high rank in the Party, that you have not been privileged to receive such information.

Is that like the Emperor's ...er... Tsarevna's New Avatar story?

Never mind. When you were sleeping, the Party Newspeak editors took care to the old reactionary-religionist word "avatar" and replaced it with a more fitting, progressive term "the inner comrade."

What's yours? If none is showing that might as well mean you have none. We know you're not so high in the Party hierarchy to have that special "invisible inner comrade." Don't make us suspect you of being the Okhranka provocareur again - or, even worse, a Trotskyite saboteur, or a Menshevik deviationist hooligan!

Is that you on this picture? Please say only Yes or No.

<img align=left hspace = 6 src=https://www.famouslocations.com/images/ ... sia_.jpg>I must confess I have a bourgeois week spot for this particular piece of reactionary Tsarist propaganda about Tsarevna Anastasia, starring the decadent actor-woman Ingrid Bergman and that Russian-speaking traitor of the Motherland Yul Brynner.

But when he plays that old seven-string guitar in this movie, I forget about his class enemy origins as my heart unshrinks like an old accordion doing a silent unworthy accompaniment... Nobody can play like that anymore in the Motherland!

Yul had learned that from the performing Russian Gypsies when he lived in Paris, training to become a circus acrobat. He must have foolishly thought that jumping and rope-flying under the muzzle of the omnipresent NKVD observers gave him a better chance of avoiding the bullet.

That's because Live Journal gives you a non-standard URL without the correct file type - apparently to prevent sharing images with other servers.

But Grampa Lenin taught us to be kind and share things with others - and also to liquidate all those who are not kind enough to share things. Therefore, the kulaks at Live Journal must be liquidated along with its staff, equipment, pets, and appliances.

I so am thanking you, Comrade Otis. Now I only hope the capitalist spies who have been eating my replies for the last few days have been dealt with by our brave KGB reinforcements. They kept telling me I couldn't post so soon after I'd just posted...when I hadn't. What, they think I'm blond or something?
