| I know little about politics. For most of my working life I've been a tech journalist/analyst immersed in my own work and paying very little attention to the politi-sphere.
But ever since Donald Trump walked down that escalator and joining FR soon thereafter I've been educated about the deep corruption of our government, media, and academia. And I've been endlessly fascinated with how Trump is fixing America step by step.
From time to time, when I thought I knew enough to say something interesting, I've posted vanities, often including a graphic meme.
This particular post is a relatively new meme concept for me. It's a non-comic variation on the theme that Ben Garrison has mastered so well.
Rather than post a meme with headline comments, my aim here is to mashup a provocative image and then combine it with a more extended commentary, a kind of poster on a subject. Two weeks ago I posted one of these (half-humor/half-serious) on Occasional Cortex.
So here it is. I'm curious to know if this hits the mark and how I can improve the concept. |
Understanding the Angry Red Hens
Angry Red Hens are con-artists, actors, and corrupt celebrities who spread false facts and feign unhinged outrage to create fear and mass hysteria in the mob of people they seek to influence. The Hens are paid big money and favors to be puppets of the ruling elite.
How Do the Angry Red Hens Operate?
The American government Trump inherited when he became President is an oligarchy -- a country ruled by powerful, rich elites who rule to enrich themselves, and to not look after the interests and God-given rights of We the People.
The game is called "legal plunder", as first defined by French economist Frédéric Bastiat in his book, The Law (1850).
Legal plunder uses the force of the law to steal money via special favors, inside information, and redistributing the wealth of the People to support the elites & interests groups in on the con.
The elites want to remain hidden, so the Angry Red Hens become their voice for stirring up the mob, especially when the elites are temporarily out of power.
The Angry Red Hens have no morals. They falsely accuse, painting people racist, and destroy the reputation of their opponents. The Hens pretend outrage and even act hysterically to stir up the mob, especially the voters who are dependent on legal plunder and the corrupted State.
Angry Red Hens will basically do or say anything for a few pieces of silver, so to identify the Hens: follow the money.
The Effect: Destroy Civil Society
The Angry Red Hens do great damage to civil society because they blur the lines between facts and fiction, turning government By-the-People on its head.
By legitimizing legal plunder they destroy trust in just laws that protect private property, individual rights, and fair market competition.
The casualties Angry Red Hens inflict on American society are enormous:

Fabricated Hysteria in America
In 1692, in Puritan Massachusetts, four teenage girls pretended to have what looked like epileptic fits and accused innocent people in Salem town of being witches. The Salem Witch Trials led to the execution of 20 citizens as the Magistrate failed to apply due process law.
Ever since President Trump won a convincing electoral victory, AT&T's CNN has -- by 24x7 false accusations and fake news -- has stirred up mass hysteria in We the People as they try to overthrow a President. Shamefully the Salem Witch Trials continue to this day on CNN.

A new meme.
Great work!
You’re catching up quick
I like it! Good job...the “Angry Red Hens”!
Well done!
After about 30+ years of epic corruption from the entrenched disciples of deceit in D.C., it's what brought Trump to the presidency. It should have been hard to miss long before the escalator ride.
Looks good. I can only recommend a similar one but identifying the elites who the angry red hens are working for.
How many former holders of ‘security clearances’ are working in think tanks and lobby firms financially supported by Chinese ‘Intelligence’... then ask yourself the obvious... HOW MANY CHINESE WITH CONNECTIONS TO CHINESE INTELLIGENCE ARE BEING SUPPORTED BY AMERICANS ?? NONE.
The Chinese aren't stupid and they don't allow citizens to legally sell out their country. WE do and we need to STOP> The Chinese don't allow their ‘intelligence’ people to be on the take ...they don't allow them to keep access to intelligence while openly working for Americans.
We need to do the same. It's time to STOP ALLOWING AMERICANS TO SELL OUR COUNTRY OUT FOR THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER TO OUR COMPETITORS AND ENEMIES.
Great Meme poconopundit... appropriate for this time of awakening.
Thanks. It’s a good suggestion. Who do you consider to be the elites? Heads of large corporations? Warren Buffet, Golden Sacks? Heads of the Media?
We have never had a fighter like Trump. The USA is being given one more chance to get back on track. I hope it happens.
You’re gettin’ good Mr. Poco.
I would suggest that you consider adding a word: Angry Red Bolshevik Hens.
Thanks, GOPJ. There are dozens of legal plunder types. You pointed to the traitorous Intelligence Leakers. The Chinese are laughing at the weakness of our worst citizens.
Obama was the height of this treason raised to the highest level. It’s the reason President Xi refused to send a ladder to Air Force One the last time Obama came to China. Xi could smell the stench of this Rat across the Pacific.
Even though Trump is driving China a hard bargain these days, Xi respects Trump as a man who loves his own country — and so Trump and Melania were invited inside the Forbidden City.
I’ll bet if we tap into Free Republic’s expertise, we could find experts and crime fighters in many forms of legal plunder. We’d come up with a good organization chart of legal corruption — maybe even a book.
What do you think?
I like it...You are getting better all the time!!!
Some may call this thread redundant, I find it close to perfect. Too many graphic posts are sized such as to make the text illegible. I can't speak to Apple users, but controlling the size of displayed text is so easy for Windows users that even a misanthrope like me can deal with it daily.
As the result of your thread two things come to mind.
The first is the poster of playing cards with the image of the 52 top Iraq killers, from Sadam Hussein al-Tikriti to Ghazzi Hammud al-Yubaydi created shortly after 9-11. That poster is still on my wall, lest I forget.
The second is that your thread is the beginning of the wish that a similar poster be created (If I could, I would), memorializing what you call The Elite and the Angry Red Hens, and whom I call Elected and Appointed Criminals/Enemies Domestic.
You have illustrated 24 individual Mug shots. A deck of cards will accommodate 52, so some the worst of the worst can also be included : Hillary, The First Rapist, Soros, Schumer, Feinstein, Pelosi are all must see.
I do realize we would not be able to include them all, but 52 is a nice number, and I would certainly buy at least a couple of dozen sets of playing cards, and a dozen posters.
Identifying the mug shots is very important. I live on the left coast and identifying by name all the political criminals east of the Sierra Nevada is a real chore for me.
Again, fantastic job, poconopundit.
Please. Just stop with the made up word “meme.” That word was invented by an atheist in 1967.
