Occupy Wall Street and The California Police State
The California Police State is getting worse.
“Doesn’t matter what the press says. Doesn’t matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn’t matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and the tell the whole world—’no, you move’.”
When future generations look back on this, they are going to see it all really started ramping up when California enacted the Cigarette smoking Ban.

LEAKED MEMO: Wall Street Has A Much Bigger Worry Than Obama
If you are anything like me, and you swoop mass amounts of fly girls in this day and age, you are bound to get mass girls “sexting” you non-stop (many times accompanied by racy photos). I mean, let’s face it, the 18-26 year old girl set is “sexting bonkers” nowadays. Right?
You know, like the text message I got this morning:
“I am in bed soooo w*t thinking about you. you were in my dreams last night”
Or the one I got mid day during a biz lunch from another girl:
“Taking a hot steamy bath, I cant stop thinking about you and your b** ****”
Or the one I got later in the afternoon from another girl:
“As expected…I’m soaking w*t thinking about us the other night”
Or the one I got a few minutes later from another girl:
“I am addicted to your s*x…this is bad…I guess I am going to grab my toy”
Or the one…you get the broken picture.
(Side note: It is not really my language to use the word “sexting”, but in an effort to make more people understand where I am coming from, I sometimes use mainstream vernacular.)
So how is a G supposed to respond to these “sext” messages, you ask?
Great question.
You should ignore it.
“Average guy”, and “above average guy”, even “pretty damn smooth guy” hell, even “Top 1% of Players Worldwide guy” would, of course, start “sexting” back and play into her hands (so to speak).
But what good is that really going to do?
G’s like real swooping, not “sexting”.
And as you should know by now, over here at The G Manifesto, we take a contrarian approach to life.
So, don’t respond.
(Side note II: When I say “over here at The G Manifesto, we take a contrarian approach to life” I really mean we take a contrarian approach to “modern day” life. We really just do what Men have been doing for the last 10,000 years up until “men” started acting like girls, which was started about, say, 1997-2000 or so, in case you were wondering.)
Anyways, after a few hours or more of non-responding, shoot something to her like:
“Ok, meet me at 10pm for dinner and claret at the fountain in the Piazza. Remember, high heels and a skirt.”
Anyone who has been following The G Manifesto knows I have been waging a one man War against glittery shirts and rhinestones for a few years (like I waged a one man war against the multi-colore striped Mortgage Broker button down shirt before it).
I guess it is another victory, you can’t get with me, so pick a B.C. date, because your history.
The Age of Elegance is coming. (Or returning, depending on how you are looking at it).
That is, it’s coming if we want to get out of this mess we are in.
In other news, Simon Black has a great article about exactly what I was talking about at lunch today with a friend over some imported jamon iberico and a glass of red with a couple of smokes thrown in for good measure.
One thing is for sure: It is going to be a long, hot summer.
Some gems:
Now, clearly there are a lot of disgruntled Americans. There’s a lot of anger… even class tensions. The OWS movement is emblematic of this sentiment for sure, but in terms of taking action, most people still believe in the political process.
All of their angst and negativity will be taken out in the voting booth. Until then, it’s the calm before the storm. But the unfortunate reality is that no matter which way the 2012 election turns out, chaos will ensue.
If President Obama wins a second term, many conservative Americans will have reached their breaking points. If a republican candidate should win, a huge portion of Americans will feel they have lost their champion.
No matter what, though, people will quickly realize that absolutely nothing has changed. They’ll recognize that the insolvency of the United States government is a simple arithmetic problem; that social security is bankrupt; that the Treasury Department is a giant Ponzi scheme; and that there is. no. recovery.
For now, Americans are still investing in the political process. Come next year, though, all the hope that’s building up will turn quickly into disappointment… and then anger. Then they’ll take that anger to the streets.
This is what happens when governments go bust. It’s happened numerous times throughout history, and it’s playing out right now from Greece to Argentina.
Social unrest becomes commonplace. Governments engage in financial repression, giving rise to asset seizures, inflation, and capital controls. Militarized police states categorize ordinary citizens into combatants and non-combatants. Collateral damage becomes an acceptable risk. Society turns on itself, and crime rates soar.
Watching the farce of America’s political theater play out, it’s clear that this ticking time bomb will go off after Election Day 2012. As polarized as voters are, and as dismal the federal balance sheet is, there’s little chance of society keeping it together afterwards.
What’s happening right now is merely an overture… and you can mark a date on your calendar for when the real fun begins.
However, as the most prolific writer on The International Playboy Lifestyle on the Internet, I feel compelled to let younger up-and-coming G’s on the rise know about some of the downsides of The Life.
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, the world’s largest brokerage, was fined $1 million by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority for charging excessive markups and markdowns on bond transactions.
The firm was also ordered to pay $371,000 in restitution and interest to customers, Finra said today in a statement. The brokerage charged “higher than warranted” markups and markdowns, as much as 13.8 percent, on corporate and municipal bond deals, Finra said. In settling the claims, Morgan Stanley consented to the findings without admitting or denying wrongdoing, Finra said.
