Well after several weeks of dilligent effort, it’s finally done.
Lesser Poop is a DIY Discordian Magazine of “Bathroom Reader” style content. Lesser Poop contains low brow humor, awful jokes, really short stories, exercises to mindfuck yourself, and much more. Most of the art is by Cramulus. Most of the text is from the principiadiscordia.com/forum community.
That’s a year of my life I shall never get back.
For those of you who read Warren Ellis’ excellent blog, you may be aware that today is meant to be the fifth Annual Rabbit Hole Day, in celebration of the birthday of Lewis Carroll.
However, we are not doing that. Not as such. Instead, we have decided to launch our revamped blog. Myself and Cramulus threw some ideas around while drunk a few weeks back, and this was essentially the result. We want Verwirrung to be more than just a blog for the Principia Discordia community. We want the blog to be a place where we can network, link, confer and argue with people, as part of our drive to improve and understand the crazy world around us.
So, first off, our blogging is going to increase. By a lot. Secondly, our writers are each going to concentrate on a particular sphere of interest, in addition to using the blog to write about whatever they feel. So, for example, we will have writers here concentrating on the Law of Fives and how the brain works, on the art of pranking and operation mindfuck, some idiot dealing with politics and warfare, a guy investigating online subcultures, someone keeping a close eye on the world of religion, someone who can help you prepare for any situation, a guy interested in how maps do not correspond to reality, a biology expert and much, much more.
Secondly, we want our blog to be more of a community. We want to break into the blogosphere, have people reading us and agreeing or disagreeing, but in short to have a lot more in the way of connectivity with the rest of the world.
Our focus is going to be on the near future, in all our fields. What will happen 20 minutes in the future. We want to equip you with knowledge you will find useful, and hopefully you can equip us in return. I don’t need to tell anyone here that rough times have started, and this is probably the first recession of the internet age. Lets see what we can do with this incredible tool, while the power is still on.
And most of all, we want to have a good time. I’ll let each of the writers introduce themselves individually. Bye for now.
I’ve asked this question before: Suppose the natives in some Western European countries actually start to seriously resisting the organized destruction of their countries, halt mass immigration and reverse Multiculturalism. How will American authorities and media react to this?
Frankly, I wouldn’t be too surprised if they turn out to be actively hostile to native Europeans. That was the case with Clinton and with Bush, who after all supported the continued Islamization of Europe through Turkish membership of the European Union. It will be even worse with Obama, an anti-white Marxist.
As we know, a “Nazi†these days is not one of the many Muslims and their Leftist cheerleaders who shout “Death to Jews! in the streets of Europe; it’s any white person who doesn’t lie down and die on command. If we don’t lie down and die, we must be Nazis. We are after all Europeans.
Fascists in Europe have seen this more recent immigration as a threat to the cultural homogeneity and national traditions of their countries. They have often exploited increases in the numbers of Muslims to claim that they are defending Christianity against Islam. Opposition to immigration has been one of the common threads within various fascist movements, and it is arguable that it plays the same role for such movements today as anti-Semitism did for inter-war Nazism and its imitators.

JERUSALEM — Even as Barack Obama becomes the 44th president of the United States, anti-Israel professor Rashid Khalidi, whose ties to Obama stirred controversy during the campaign, has stated he could currently communicate with the incoming commander in chief, WND has learned.
Amid concern within the pro-Israel Jewish community, Obama repeatedly had denied he was influenced by Khalidi.
In an interview with the radical Democracy Now! news network last week, Khalidi expressed hope Obama would alter U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, talking to “all sides†of the Israeli-Palestinian arena. He also criticized Israel for killing civilians in the Gaza Strip the past few weeks and for leading what he termed a “propaganda campaign†to de-legitimize the Hamas terrorist organization.
In practice, the term cosmopolitan was applied by interwar fascists chiefly to Marxists, Freemasons, and Jews. In Nazi thinking, Marxism and Freemasonry were themselves part of an international Jewish conspiracy, so that “cosmopolitan†often meant “Jewish.â€

Only time will tell…
If you believe what you see on TV, then you are expecting a great New Dawn to occur around noon EST next Tuesday. Of course, I imagine most of us HERE know better than that.Â
The Republicans ridiculed the Hope and Change message from soon-to-be President Barack Obama. It was endlessly lampooned and satirized. But they attacked it from the COMPLETELY WRONG angle. They framed it as an empty message. A skeleton of an outline and a no-logic model. Anyone who was paying attention clearly understands that Obama DID have a plan behind his message of “Hope and Change”. His campaign website had pages, and pages of plans and initiatives. So the Republicans totally screwed the pooch and really should’ve looked at it from a more pragmatic perspective.
That perspective being, “Do you really think you can do all this shit?” Oh sure, a couple of the Conservatives tried it, but after George F. Will and the other Republican egg-heads dissed Palin, the rest of the movement ignored anything they said. And this is the question Obama and the rest of us have to wake up to every morning. I’m not naive enough to think that he is naive enough to think he can actually do EVERYTHING he promised on the campaign trail, much less what was on his campaign website. Obviously, there isn’t a politician that has ever lived that has carried out all of their promises. Okay, well maybe Hitler and Milosevic did, but I digress…
Now, we know how a large chunk of our compatriots operate. We especially understand how they react to messages that come from the television and other “news” media outlets. And as technology has advanced, every other Joe on the block has a “news” blog. Yes, even THAT Joe. I’m sure we all have also witnessed how the pending Obama Presidency has been sold by many of the “news” media outlets. I think there is an expectation among many akin to that scene in The Two Towers, when it looked like Saruman’s hordes were about to totally obliterate the Rohirim at Helm’s Deep. But lo, the sun breaks and there is Gandalf with some huge army he’s conjured up from the wastes. Switch Gandalf with Obama and the army with economists and you have the expectations for what will happen on January 20th.Â
And it’s hard not to empathize with that sentiment. Desperation will cause a person to latch on to any glimmer of hope that may present itself. It is human nature. And it can seem cruel to temper that enthusiasm. But one also doesn’t want to succumb to reverse paranoia, the idea that someone out there is going to save you from your economic ruin. Or, that if it does happen, it’s going to happen next week, when in reality, we’re probably looking at the next decade.Â
Indeed, only time will tell how successful President Obama is able to channel that Hope and process it into Change in the people’s pockets and Change in the people’s prospects. The past has demonstrated that these troubled times do come to an end. The question on the table is if it will happen WITH Obama’s interventions, or in spite of.Â
Or at least, that’s how I see it.

This is absolutely my favourite site of the moment. For real. I have spent hours, with which I could have done a lot better things, reading it and laughing quite often at the descriptions within.
To quote from the main page:
Tropes are devices and conventions that a writer can reasonably rely on as being present in the audience members’ minds and expectations. On the whole, tropes are not clichés. The word clichéd means “stereotyped and trite”. In other words, dull and uninteresting. We are not looking for dull and uninteresting entries. We are here to recognize tropes and play with them, not to make fun of them.
The wiki is called “TV Tropes” because that is where we started. Over the course of a few years, our scope has crept out to include other media. Tropes transcend television. They exist in life, as we will be quick to tell you. Since a lot of art, especially the popular arts, does its best to reflect life, tropes are likely to show up everywhere. We want ’em all.
As someone who enjoys writing myself, a site like this is incredibly useful. But even for the casual reader or watcher of television, its a really great site and I cannot recommend it enough. If you want to visit, please follow the link.
