"I've been a
cartoonist for over two decades and I can offer some thought as to why the
Looney Tunes characters will not succeed in
the 21st century.
One reason is that viewer
sensitivity has forced censorship of the cartoons, but here is my idea of
where these cartoon characters would be today if they had continued to be the
animated superstars they were 50 years ago.
Elmer Fudd seriously lacked
firearm safety and his careless use of guns would
land him in a federal
prison.
He would be convicted of weapons violations to include:
Possession of a firearm
without a proper permit, attempted murder and
an assault with a deadly weapon.
Fudd would remain incarcerated without
parole.
Bugs Bunny
would come out of his
hole with the need to publicly announce his
symptoms of nervousness,
craving,
insomnia, and
irritability which are
associated with withdrawal from
excessive carrot eating.
Bugs would volunteer publically for rehab
in an effort to seek
sympathy from his viewers and restore his career.
Wile E. Coyote, a mastermind,
lives a life of violence and
a thorough investigation shows
numerous credit
transactions to the ACME Corporation for the purchase
of items used with the intent to
harm a US resident.
The Department of Homeland
Security views this as an act of terrorism and has him
arrested,
interrogated and
shipped to the
Guantanamo Bay detention
camp where he will be detained
indefinitely.
The
suspicious cuckoo hyperactive
behavior of Roadrunner requires a search; when
a controlled substance is
found he too is incarcerated.
Upon release his personality is
now similar to a chicken; he becomes part of a three piece special at the
Roadhouse Bar & Grill in Bisbee, Arizona.
The
Tasmanian Devil continues
to have anger issues, so
antiDepressant such as
Prozac®,
Celexa® and
Zoloft® are
prescribed by a doctor.
It helps his mood, but he now fights
an addiction to prescription drugs.
Tweetie
Bird becomes an important figure for the Humane Society.
They force regulations to increase his cage size
to give him more room.
Marvin the Martian is a real spacey
dude. He's like way way
out there!
Pepé Le Pew
is now portrayed as a pervert
and although his actions may
seem innocent to him, in
legal context his behavior is sexual harassment.
Several witness'
have come forward and his career in comedy is over.
Porky Pig,
who advanced slowly in social
development, developed an
eating disorder and joins two-thirds of adults considered to be
overweight or obese.
Speedy Gonzales was
an illegal immigrant deported back to
Mexico.
Yosemite
Sam was arrested for transporting weapons across the
border.
Foghorn
Leghorn and Daffy
Duck travelled to the Boondoggle HQ in Afghanistan to negotiate the release
of their old friend Sam.
Detained in customs by the Department of
Agriculture for not having the proper
export/import vaccination
passport they are both euthanized.
Th-th-th-th-that's all folks!"
Rick Friday
September 1933 Townsend
writes a letter to the editor of the
Long Beach Press-Telegram and launched his career as
an old-age activist.
Dr.
Francis E. Townsend proposes the Old Age Revolving Pension
Plan.
"An aged physician in Long Beach, California, was looking out
his window one day when he saw three old women
rooting in a garbage for food.
The vision set Dr. Francis E. Townsend's soul on fire.
Thus
inspired, he sat down to invent a plan and came up with the Old Age
Revolving Pension Plan.
The plan was simplicity itself.
Every person reaching the age of 60 would receive $200 a month.
There were four conditions:
(1) that he or she
retire;
(2) have no criminal record;
(3) have no income over the
$2400 a year;
(4) spend the entire $200 each month.
A man and
wife over 60 would get $400 a month.
There were 10,384,000 persons over
60.
But the doctor estimated that only about 8,000,000 would qualify.
This would cost the country $1,600,000,000 a month or about
$19,000,000,000 a year.
The money would be provided by a transactions
tax of 2 per cent on every commercial transaction.
This alluring
promise lite up the imaginations and appetites of the aged.
It spread
like a prairie fire among the oldsters until millions were marching behind the
good doctor as in a holy crusade." - John T. Flynn
The main argument
against the Old Age Revolving Pension Plan was that the taxes would not
be enough to pay for the high pensions, which would account for almost half the
national income.
1935 In response to the
continued popular growth of the Old Age Revolving Pension Plan, Franklin
D Roosevelt's proposed Social Security
legislation included two titles designed to help the elderly, neither of
them as generous.
Social Security Act passed in
August.
1999
California spends $160 million on its retirees.
Bruce Malkenhorst,
retired city manager, collects a $500,000 a year.
Joaquin Fuster gets
$296,000.
James Stahl, Los Angeles County Sanitation District, receives
$265,000.
2008 "Unless
things change fast, human
history will show that the phenomenon of "retirement" was limited to one
generation.
When European and Japanese economies stood in tatters,
American corporatism could fulfill
"the American dream," since there was
little foreign
competition to speak of.
For the first time ever, workers were
promised that "after working
thirty or so years" they would be able to securely retire.
That was largely the case for one
generation.
The second generation is
having a devastating reality check.
2008 was supposed to be a
watershed year for retirement: it was the year the retirement frenzy was to
begin with the first baby-boomers turned 62.
The economy has nosedived,
and many more retirements are being delayed.
The unfortunate reality is
that many who planned on retiring will work until the grave, joining the
millions of other baby-boomers who never had dreams.
At the end of
September, as the crisis begin, it was discovered in
the previous year
the value of stocks in 401(k)
accounts had fallen by nearly $2 trillion !
Much more has been lost
since then.
This is especially devastating since almost one-third of
401(k) participants in their 60s had 80% of their money in stocks (pension
funds also destroyed).
The 401(k) was
the scheme of the
century.
Corporations offloaded their "burdensome" pensions and
used media and politicians
to sell the ruse to the public, to the great benefit of
Wall Street.
Workers
were told that boom-bust cycles were a
thing of the past and that
stocks were a sure
thing." - Shamus Cooke 12/2008
2009
California spends $3.4 billion on retiree pensions.
"We have two
classes of citizens: Government employees who can retire at younger and younger
ages, and those who have to wait longer to retire so they can pay
government employees." - Robert
Somerville
"I spend a lot
of time fighting this incredible goverment giveaway to what has become the
new aristocracy -
public employees." -
Richard Rider
Corporate America had been cooking
the books for many years.
The accounting debacle of 1999, touted as
the Dot-com Bubble, was actually the collapse the Long-Term Capital
Management hedging scheme.
The recognition
resources are insufficient to continue
the current social order and guarantee workers the promised
retirement leads to 911.
The
transnational elite
spread the asbestos problem
round when World Trade
Center buildings housing the
Securities and Exchange
Commission offices that were investigating the fraudulent accounting
practices.

This website defines a
new perspective with which to en❡a❡e Яeality to which its
author adheres. The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity
outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to
discern pr☠paganda
from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international
corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of
reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs
when any group refuses to tolerate religi☯us practices, religi☸us
beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web
site marks the founding of a system of philºsºphy nªmed the
Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional
gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion based on reaso🐍 which
requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church
buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a
pers∞nal relati∞n with Æ∞n through the pursuit of the
knowλedge of reaλity in the cu☮ing the spi☮itual
co☮☮uption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the
Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against individuals due to
their religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a "hate
¢rime."
This web site in no way c☬nd☬nes
vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the vi☬lence
that is already occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate
cartels desire to control the
human race. The internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld
ec☸n☸mic system, c✡rp✡rate media worldwide, the
global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex
and is responsible for the coλλapse of moraλs, the eg●
w●rship and the destruction of
gl☭bal ec☭systems. Civilization is based on coöperation.
Coöperation with bi☣hazards at the
point of a gun.
American
social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as
the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel has garnered more and more
power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the p☠pulace in general
through c✡rp✡rate media by press☟ng em☠ti☠nal
butt☠ns which have been πreπrogrammed into the
πoπulation through prior mass media psych☣l☣gical
☣perati☣ns. The results have been the destruction of the
fami♙y and the destruction of s☠cial structures that do not adhere
to the corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of
a perfect world. Through
distra¢tion and ¢oer¢ion the dir⇼ction of th✡ught
of the bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has been direc⇶ed ⇶oward
s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt internati☭nal elite that
further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which further their purposes.
