Dante and All-Mi-T Wisdom

My friend Raw Dawg Buffalo (All-Mi-T/ Torrance) introduced me to Dante at his blog and I wanted to say that he does amazing work as an artist. Some provocative and all beautiful. Then Bro’ T (a renowned fellow, himself) laid out some heavy discussion stuff he and Dante had that could occur if food and gas (and all manner of living) begin to get really hard.

…(his) painting will be on the poster for the National Black Arts festival this year (PSA – I have 2 signings during this event). A world renowned artist at that with his works hanging in some of the top museums and galleries around the world. In our conversation, we talked of politics and of the state of the world today. In essence we came to the conclusion that it is on. That race is being obviated these days and that it is all down to surviving.

I have considered the same thing. When it hits, it will hit hard. But I consider it from my small country town experience and expectations (which may be totally insane… but I have more than one sound contingency plan). But, as a redneck, this perspective is much scarier, since everyone is all bunched up in the big city.

I use this to just say that what we see as war currently, is about to change. We only see Afghanistan and Iraq, but war soon will be pronounced in these streets over here in the USA. For it wont be too long when folks start waking up in the morning and seeing 11 or 12 folk in front of their cribs with gats not to just rob people, but to eat. For can goods and gasoline. Yep we are about to go through some turbulent times here in these United States of America and if u cant pay yourself, as I have said before, you wont eat, unless you take to the streets and tax others the wild wild west way.

I aint trying to scare nobody, nor am I attempting to be prophetic. I am only offering a warning. For down here we have a saying, “These ni***z are real in the field (gerund being none race specific).” And naw, this aint the rhetoric of 19^th century scholars, but the plane truth. Just the other day down here in East Point, Ga, two white boys went up into a gas station, and stole gas in broad day light. And if you know East Point, folks don’t even speed there. Broad day light and when East Point 12 rolled up, they just started bussing, in broad day light. BLAP, BLAP, BLAP. They even turning over Urns up in this camp, you know on grave sites and selling them.

Yea folk its on, war overseas is faux pa now, its finna be over here up in this camp for as it has been said, THESE N****Z IS REAL IN THE FIELD. So don’t be surprised if they start buffaloing cribs for can goods and grits.

B’Man’s Patriot Watch: Dennis Kucinich

If you have followed this blog you realize I was a Dennis Kucinich believer when he was running for president. The main reason is that I believe him to be a patriot and a true believer in Democracy and his oath of office. I believe that he sees the injustices and crimes that the Bush cabal have conducted and has not been afraid or politically motivated to keep quiet.

So there is a huge applause from America that he did it and hopefully if it is tabled again, America will finally be outraged that they are not doing their job. I am so pleased that Keith discusses this issue with Jonathon Turley (as you know, I post a lot of his stuff here… very funny man and a constitutional genius).

Added: Wexler Steps Up

Dear Rednecks,

Our effort to hold the Bush/Cheney Administration accountable has taken another dramatic step forward. Last night, Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced the first Articles of Impeachment ever to be introduced against President Bush.  It includes, in total, thirty-five Articles detailing this Administration’s blatant abuse of power. Today, I enthusiastically co-sponsored this vitally important bill.

I am grateful for Dennis’ leadership on this issue and for the steadfast support that countless Americans have given to both of our efforts to redeem our government and expose the crimes of Bush and Cheney.

I will now expand my efforts to secure impeachment hearings in the Judiciary Committee for these new Articles of Impeachment against President George W. Bush.

Many of the charges against President Bush are well known – and would shock the conscience of everyday Americans if only the national media would be willing to report on these stark facts.

The Articles present a stunning narrative of offenses that have go well beyond previous crimes committed by any US chief executive. In fact no President or Vice President in history has done more to undermine our constitution.

These charges are broad, with 35 separate allegations including the deliberate lies regarding WMDs that led us to war and the approval of illegal wiretapping of American citizens.  The Articles also include new allegations of high crimes – including the explicit approval for high Administration officials to violate treaties and US law banning the use of torture.

The Democratic Party gained a majority in the House and Senate due in large part to our promises to end the corruption of the Republican majority and to hold the Administration accountable to the law. This courageous bill is a crucial step towards fulfilling this promise, but – like the Articles against Cheney – they require your support to convince Democrats and open-minded Republicans to support this bold but necessary action.

Time is running out so we must work together to spread the message and apply pressure.

First, please encourage your friends and family members to sign up at WexlerWantsHearings.com – as it will allow us to keep in touch with you and speak to a wider audience. If you haven’t yet put in your phone and address, please sign up again, as we will be doing telephone town halls in the near future.

Second, call your representative and urge them to support Impeachment hearings.

Finally, contact newspapers, news stations, and your favorite bloggers and urge them to report on this movement. We need to keep Impeachment a significant news story until the Democratic leadership sees the value in it.

9-11’s A Lie

Roger Wicker: “Long Time Friend of the Gulf Coast”… Except When They Need a Friend

CottonMouth keeps us abreast of the right-wing suck-up, Roger Wicker’s voting record. Mississippi people, wake up to what these Bushie fools are doing to YOU.

Roger Wicker Voted Against Providing Shelter To People Left Homeless By Hurricanes

from Cotton Mouth by John Leek

As we’ve shown you here and here Roger Wicker seems determined to whitewash his record of failing the Coast. This is example #3 of how Roger Wicker failed our Gulf Coast and why for showing such lack of foresight he should not be allowed to serve as one of Mississippi’s United States Senators.

Roger Wicker was the only member of the Mississippi delegation to vote against extending FEMA assistance.

In 2007, Wicker was the only member of the Mississippi House delegation to vote against an amendment to the Gulf Coast Hurricane Housing Recovery Act that would extend FEMA housing assistance for evacuees of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma until December 31, 2007 and provide tenant-based rental assistance upon termination of FEMA housing assistance.

Roger Wicker is no “longtime friend of the Gulf Coast” as he claimed in his first ad.

If you’ve got a suggestion on why Roger Wicker is bad for Mississippi in general or bad for the Coast specifically please e-mail us at cottonmouthblog AT gmail DOT com or leave a comment.

B’Man: David also provided some links to help you, the citizen, communicate how you feel about the subject. The more of us who call or write and let them know we support, no DEMAND, that they do their jobs, the better and more likely that something can be done.

I contend that time matters not. These people, especially Bush, have broken untold laws, far more than any other president in our history. If there was ever a case for impeachment, this is it.

This is their job and Kucinich is one of the few actually doing it.

What you can do:

Email your Representatives to support Kucinich’s Articles of Impeachment

A Church Where “Good News” Is Actually Heard

B’Man: They say that the “Gospel” is the “Good News”. Few churches actually tell the good news any more without tainting it with bad news like tithing and hell-fire and damnation from a “loving God”. But one must give Pope Bush credit for actually telling some “Good News” in church:

Bush confronted Rove’s sins in church

POSTED June 9, 8:41 AM

Fired and brimestone

If you’re going to fire someone, you want to make sure you do it in a place where the now-unemployed can’t make a scene.

You know…a place like, say, a church.

That, according to a new book – “Machiavelli’s Shadow” – by former Time magazine reporter Paul Alexander, is where President George W. Bush informed trusted advisor Karl Rove in 2007 that his services would no longer be needed at the White House.

“On a Sunday in midsummer, George W. Bush accompanied Karl Rove to the Episcopalian Church Rove sometimes attended,” writes Alexander. “They made their way to the front of the congregation. Then, during their time in the church, Bush gave Rove some stunning news. ‘Karl,’ Bush said, ‘there’s too much heat on you. It’s time for you to go.’”

Nader Alert (Polling 6% Without the MSM)

June 9, 2008
www.votenader.org

www.officialnaderstore.com

An Associated Press poll released on Friday shows:

Barack Obama 47 percent

John McCain 43 percent

And Ralph Nader 6 percent.

And that’s Nader at six percent with virtually no mainstream national press coverage.

Why is Nader’s six percent important?Because this might be the year when the Presidential debates are busted open.

Google has shown an interest in hosting debates.

And McCain has floated the idea of ten town hall debates.

To get into these debates, it’s important that Ralph show a certain level of support.

He’s got that, according to the most recent AP poll. And then it becomes important that he gets on as many state ballots as possible.We’re working our hearts out to get him there.

By the end of June, we should be on ten or so. And we’re aiming to be on more than 40 by the end of the summer. To help fuel this summer ballot access drive, you can give up to the legal limit of $4,600 each.

But we’ll take whatever you can afford.

Remember, getting Ralph on the debates changes everything.

Jesse Ventura, when he ran for Governor of Minnesota, was at ten percent.

He got on the statewide debates and moved to 20 percent.

And then people sensed a three way race.

And he won.

As we learned this weekend at the Belmont Stakes.

There are no foregone conclusions.

So, let’s work together to get Nader/Gonzalez to the starting line.Then line ‘em up, ring the bell, and let ‘em run.

Onward

B’Man’s Patriot Watch: Arizona Senator Karen Johnson Blasts Congress

B’Man: Isn’t it a shame that it takes a person from a state senate to bring this obvious coverup to light in our government. I don’t know much about this woman, but the fact that she sees obvious inconsistencies and what appears to be coverup in the 911 Commission’s findings means that she has a thinking brain (I am not so sure of all the others who keep their mouths shut for political reasons).

Senator Karen Johnson Blasts Congress

by Karen S. Johnson (Posted by Craig GRISMORE)

For Immediate Release:

Contact: Senator Karen S. Johnson (602-926-3160)

In a formal Floor speech in the Arizona Senate tomorrow (Tuesday, June 10), Senator Karen S. Johnson plans to blast Congress for their failure to defend U.S. citizens who were killed on September 11, 2001, and their failure to properly investigate those attacks.

“It has been nearly seven years,” says Johnson, “and we are faced with new evidence that turns the conclusions of the 9/11 Commission upside down. We are fighting a war because of 9/11 – and we still don’t really know what happened. We have spent billions of dollars on the war, with an additional $340 million per day. Thousands of U.S. servicemen and women have lost their lives, not to mention the lives of innocent Iraqi and Afghan civilians.”

Johnson revealed in a committee hearing in April that she did not accept the official report of the 9/11 Commission and has since defended supporters calling for a new independent investigation of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. “Ground Zero was treated like little more than the site of a building demolition – which, of course, is exactly what it was,” says Johnson. “Everyone who has studied it recognizes that the Twin Towers and Building 7 came down as a result of controlled explosions – not because of the airplanes and fires.”

Johnson has joined forces with local 9/11 activists who for more than two weeks have been staging a protest outside the Phoenix office of presidential candidate U.S. Senator John McCain. One protestor, college professor Blair Gadsby of Scottsdale, began a hunger strike on May 26 to bring attention to the need for Congress to re-open the investigation into 9/11. Gadsby plans to fast until Senator McCain agrees to meet with experts who will present evidence that the WTC buildings came down through controlled demolition. Tomorrow will be Day 16 of the Hunger Strike. Senator Johnson has invited Gadsby to the Senate to listen to her Floor speech.

“The U.S. government is constantly interfering with states in matters that are none of its business,” said Johnson. “Yet when it comes to the one really significant job the Constitution assigns to the government — defending our nation – the federal government failed miserably. Not only did they fail to put up any sort of a defense after the first plane struck the North Tower (Tower 1), but they failed to mobilize the air defense system, they failed to protect the President, who sat reading in a public school for 20 minutes while the attacks continued, and they failed to defend our most important military installation – the Pentagon. The public is sick to death of do-nothing politicians in Congress who forget what their job is the minute they arrive in Washington. Finding out what happened on 9/11 and bringing the perpetrators to justice is the job of Congress and the Executive branch. We need to know what happened to Building 7. We need to get answers to the many unanswered questions that still exist. We need an investigation – especially of the new evidence. It’s time for Congress and our President to act.”

B’Man: The 911 “attacks”, as the government continues to portray what happened that fateful day, are so clouded with deceit and lies and cover ups that I can’t help but be suspicious. Think about it, the worst crime perpetrated against Americans in our history and the crime scene was treated like a big demolition heap. Nothing studied forensically to see the exact causes. Just hurriedly cleaned up and sold to Chinese for scrap and sent away as fast as possible. The fact that WTC building #7 went down after the first two, yet it wasn’t struck by a building. The media first fell all over themselves explaining that extra explosions were heard, but you hear none of that anymore except on the youtube.

People just fall for the unbelievable story the government tells us when the facts smash that story to bits. Yet, there are still people who deny anything else except those airplanes did this.

Duh, dumbasses.

Wake up, rednecks.

I don’t know what Ms Johnson’s plans are, but I believe she could take down that old rickety fool, McInsane, in the next US Senatorial election, for he sure as hell won’t be the next president.
