You don't say? But I already did.

Repost from a few years ago. 

The phrase wasn't invented by me, but I did use it in the context of current events.  Now somebody else is, and that's okay by me.  Just as long as the problem is corrected.

Yeah!  Like throwing that dead fish in the dumpster.

Quote:

national insanity is not a new phenomenon. Friedrich Nietzsche observed the same spectacle in the 19th century.

"In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule."

Comment:

The fish rots from the head down.

Bottom line:  We need new and better leadership.  We need the molten-salt reactor.  The rejection of it, even though it was proven in the lab, has coincided with the failures cited in this article.  This is no coincidence.

Guest Post: Trying To Stay Sane In An Insane World - Part 1

By Tyler Durden

Created 07/23/2013 - 19:56

Facts are treasonous and dangerous in an empire of lies, fraud and propaganda. It is maddening to watch the country spiral downward, driven to ruin by a psychotic predator class, while the plebs choose to remain willfully ignorant of reality and distracted by their lust for cheap Chinese crap and addicted to the cult of techno-narcissism. We are a country running on heaping doses of cognitive dissonance and normalcy bias, an irrational belief in our national exceptionalism, an absurd trust in the same banking class that destroyed the finances of the country, and a delusionary belief that with just another trillion dollars of debt we'll be back on the exponential growth track. The American empire has been built on a foundation of cheap easily accessible oil, cheap easily accessible credit, the most powerful military machine in human history, and the purposeful transformation of citizens into consumers through the use of relentless media propaganda and a persistent decades long dumbing down of the masses through the government education system. This national insanity is not a new phenomenon. Friedrich Nietzsche [1] observed the same spectacle in the 19th century: "In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule."
