The World Falls Apart… and I Still Laugh

Say what you will about The Onion, but sometimes they do stuff so outrageous I can’t help but laugh (even when the truth of the matter is so horrible). I would never celebrate John McCain’s torture or what he may have done for his country serving… in that he is commended and respected.

But The Onion’s new War For The White House Blog falls to new ‘heights’ of hilarity when they use a pseudo like “Dac Kien, Retired Vietcong Torturer” to explain the psychology of John McCain (since they had such a long, intimate and sharing relationship):

About This Blogger

Dac spent 12 years fighting for the Vietcong to unify his country. For five of those years, he tortured John McCain and developed a deep and intimate view of the Republican nominee in the process. Read his posts from the beginning, or return to the main blog.

In this case, Dac is discussing Sarah Palin and her “electricity”:

Boy, Sarah Palin has really energized the campaign of the senator John McCain hasn’t she? There’s this electricity about him that I haven’t seen in decades, maybe even not since the last time I clamped jumper cables to his scrotum and ran 5,000 volts through his scrawny American balls.

Yes. Sarah Palin is that exciting!

What a great thing for Mr. McCain. To think of all he’s been through to get where he’s at today, how he’s risen from the fetal position, quivering and crying in a pile of his own feces, to be this close to the White House. You will make America proud John, so proud! Just don’t let the American people see what a huge pussy you are when it comes to being slapped in the face with turpentine-soaked rags for ours on end, and you’ll make them proud.

Ha, ha, ha, pussy!… (read the rest here)

DAYUM!

You know, I probably have a sick sense of humor…

Thank God For John McCain’s Leadership

What a wonderful hero; who’s leadership dwarfs any other living human being, stood again, on his ‘Maverick’-like principle and threw caution to the wind by showing his extensive love and dedication to this Great and wonderful country we call, America the Beautiful by “sustaining” his campaign and calling his lessor, Barack Obama, into following the sage advice of the seasoned and stately elder and senior senator (and defenietely most qualified) Republican Candidate for President of the United States of America into delaying the presidential debate until they (with John’s plethora of sound, financial experience) can work together (obviously under John’s lead), with the president, to move in at the last second to avoid a certain devastating crisis that would ruin each and every man, woman and child on the face of the earth.

Thank God for John McCain.

Financial State of Emergency First Two Weeks In October

Follwing up to my Bush Dictatorship post I wrote this morning, I wanted to share some information regarding the Presidential Bulletins, NSPD51 & HSPD20.

On May 24, 2007, The Chattanoogan offered an Op-Ed regarding these two directives (and that is one of the few places in print you can find it easily). In light of the oncoming Financial “Disaster”, one may want to consider the powers Bush will have with the simply utterance of the word.

Bush Makes Power Grab – And Response

posted May 24, 2007

President Bush, without so much as issuing a press statement, on May 9 signed a directive that granted near dictatorial powers to the office of the president in the event of a national emergency declared by the president.

The “National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive,” with the dual designation of NSPD-51, as a National Security Presidential Directive, and HSPD-20, as a Homeland Security Presidential Directive, establishes under the office of president a new National Continuity Coordinator.

That job, as the document describes, is to make plans for “National Essential Functions” of all federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal governments, as well as private sector organizations to continue functioning under the president’s directives in the event of a national emergency.

The directive loosely defines “catastrophic emergency” as “any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions.”

When the President determines a catastrophic emergency has occurred, the President can take over all government functions and direct all private sector activities to ensure we will emerge from the emergency with an “enduring constitutional government.”

Translated into layman’s terms, when the President determines a national emergency has occurred, the President can declare to the office of the presidency powers usually assumed by dictators to direct any and all government and business activities until the emergency is declared over.

What you need to understand is that these directives supersede a perfectly good act, The National Emergency Act that provides for this, but makes sure that the president must go through Congress. What Bush did with these two directives (strokes of his pen) is render the Congress moot, simply by issuing a national emergency.

The directive issued May 9 makes no attempt to reconcile the powers created there for the National Continuity Coordinator with the National Emergency Act. As specified by U.S. Code Title 50, Chapter 34, Subchapter II, Section 1621, the National Emergency Act allows that the president may declare a national emergency but requires that such proclamation “shall immediately be transmitted to the Congress and published in the Federal Register.”

A Congressional Research Service study notes that under the National Emergency Act, the President “may seize property, organize and control the means of production, seize commodities, assign military forces abroad, institute martial law, seize and control all transportation and communication, regulate the operation of private enterprise, restrict travel, and, in a variety of ways, control the lives of United States citizens.”

The CRS study notes that the National Emergency Act sets up congress as a balance empowered to “modify, rescind, or render dormant such delegated emergency authority,” if Congress believes the president has acted inappropriately.

NSPD-51/ HSPD-20 appears to supersede the National Emergency Act by creating the new position of National Continuity Coordinator without any specific act of Congress authorizing the position.

NSPD-51/ HSPD-20 also makes no reference whatsoever to Congress. The language of the May 9 directive appears to negate any a requirement that the President submit to Congress a determination that a national emergency exists, suggesting instead that the powers of the executive order can be implemented without any congressional approval or oversight.

Bush has basically set up himself for a dictatorship, if certain things happen (and they all are progressing towards that end from every indication). We are already being blasted by him and the media about the dire emergency the Financial Crisis could cause, and I submit that this IS the emergency that is planned.

The Army is being given orders to set up shop within the borders, to control the civilians (goodbye Posse Comitatus) the first of Oct.

IF our country is going to fall apart, it will happen within the first two to three weeks of Oct, canceling the elections and giving us Bush III.

Impossible you say?

With Bush and the NWO, anything is possible.

Thought it would be corny… but it is pretty darn good. It gets the message out and is funny.

Are You Mad, Yet?

Are you a human being, God dammit?

Are you going to take this without a fight?

Could This Be The Beginning Of The Bush Dictatorship?

Everything this Bush Administration has had a hand in has turned to pure dee old shit. So, when he comes out and tells me one thing, I generally go for the opposite and I am safe.

And I did say “Everything”, which includes this country.

We are expected to bail out these high rollers when it is their blatant greed and thievery that is tearing it totally apart. But what about the timing of this? This ain’t nothing new and even this clueless redneck has been writing about it since March.

Then on March 19 I posted a video where Jim Rogers says the reason that Bear Stearns was being bailed out and not allowing their bankruptcy, 6 weeks after their officers were given $multi-BILLION bonues, so they could keep their bonuses. And that Big Money has decided to kill the dollar. See that 1 & 2 below are coming close to fruition.

Then I read today that this Paulson plan has been around for a while, but they had not presented it yet.

So think about the liars that are involved with anything ‘Bush’ and then reflect on everything happening… coincidences, maybe, but with these criminals everything is suspect.

Election upcoming and a new president after the first of the year. But what is the one thing that my little conspiracy mind keeps talking about is the possibility for some happening that would allow Bush to take us under Marshall Law and become a defacto Dictator. I have been laughed at and belittled for even thinking it, but consider…

I posted about the March 23 meeting that prompted some scary leaks with these warnings:

* The imminent collapse of the U.S. Economy to occur sometime in late 2008

* The imminent collapse of the U.S. Government finances sometime in mid 2009

* The possibility of Civil War inside the United States as a result of the collapse

* The advance round-ups of “insurgent U.S. Citizens” likely to move against the government

* The detention of those rounded up at The REX 84 Camps constructed throughout the United States

* The possibility of public retaliation against members of Congress for the collapses

* The location of safe facilities for members of Congress and their families to reside during massive civil unrest

What if McCain and Obama are prepping for the big hit and fallout? What if this move by McCain is a setup for a take-over?

Did you know that the Posse Comitatus act has been taken apart and that we will have active troops conducting operations in the US starting Oct 1.

What if this is the thing I have been warning about for 9 months?

What if this is the false flag ‘Shock Doctrine’ occurence that is needed to change our country into something the Constitution bans?

What if?

Are you ready?

McCain To Much A Pussy To Debate? Figures! Let Nader Take The Stage.

September 24, 2008 www.votenader.org www.officialnaderstore.com

News Flash: Ralph Nader on Democracy Now! on Thursday.  That’s this coming morning, folks! Ralph Nader will be Amy Goodman’s guest on Democracy Now! between 8:10 AM and 8:30 AM Eastern time on Thursday, September 25th.  It will be viewable live at www.democracynow.org or available via podcast by 10 AM Eastern.  Be sure to tune in! Dear Nader/Gonzalez Supporter, The campaign released this statement to the press on Wednesday, September 24th. It’s Ralph’s reaction to the postponement of the first CPD “debate.” We thought you might be interested in reading it. NADER CALLS MCCAIN’S MOVE TO POSTPONE DEBATE ‘POLITICAL STUNT’ SAYS MCCAIN TO BLAME FOR FINANCIAL CRISIS Senator John McCain’s decision to suspend his campaign and participation in the first presidential debate is pure and simple showboating. The Washington DC bailout by Bush and his Congressional allies of the Wall Street crooks and speculators is not dependent on Senator McCain’s return to Washington. He has been an advocate of the deregulation that caused this debacle and offers nothing significant to address it. However, tens of millions of Americans depended on Senator McCain to show up at Friday’s debate in Old Mississippi. They expected him to do so and have arranged their plans to watch him interact with Barack Obama. By turning his back on at least 50 million American voters anticipating Friday’s debate, he has dishonored his commitment and undermined the respect which he hoped the American people would accord him during his presidential campaign. I urge him to restore his honor and self-respect by ending this political stunt and maturely fulfilling his commitment on the presidential debate stage this Friday. Should he choose to maintain his present, impulsive course and leave an empty chair on the stage, I would be most pleased to take his place as the number three Presidential candidate in the race.

WTF Thursday: Watch Where You Sit

Impaled man ‘out drinking not stealing’

THE suspected museum thief who was impaled by a sharp spike on the top of a security fence in his rectum for two hours earlier this month says he did not feel any pain because he was drunk.

He denied trying to break into the museum, but claimed he had been in the museum grounds to sleep off a drinking session.

Speaking from the Cambridge West home he shares with his parents and siblings, Siyanda Pasiwe, 32, said he had been drinking somewhere in town that evening.

But because it was late and he was drunk, he decided to go into the museum grounds to sleep it off before walking home.

“I woke up and decided to continue walking home, but when I saw a tree I thought I would be able to jump to the other side,” he said.

When he fell on the fence he did not feel the spike piercing his bottom and thought the fence had an electric force that was holding him to it .

“I thought that the electric fence had a mechanism to keep me glued to it,” Pasiwe said.

He says he had screamed for someone to come and rescue him and not because he was in pain .

Pasiwe was impaled by a 30cm metal spike at the museum’s security fence almost a month ago, after what police suspect was an attempt to break into the museum.

The police said he probably panicked after an alarm went off, after he allegedly broke a glass door.

His screams were heard by a tow truck driver who called the police and fire department.

Fire and rescue workers used an angle grinder to cut the steel spike off the fence.

Medical staff at the hospital, where the spike was removed, said Pasiwe had suffered severe rectal and intestinal injuries .

He was discharged last Thursday and is still undergoing medical check-ups at the hospital.

Although police said he was under police guard during his stay in hospital, on Friday they confirmed that he was discharged without their knowledge .

Spokesperson Mtati Tana said the suspect’s case was brought before the East London Magistrate’s Court on September 7, but postponed to September 22. – By NTANDO MAKHUBU and XOLISA MGWATYU

B’Man’s Hypocrite Watch: John McCain’s Gay Chief of Staff

h/t Mikes Blog Roundup at C&L

The Gist has an illuminating post up that shows Mark Buse’s (McCain’s Senate Chief of Staff and long-time confidante, adviser and “special friend”) obvious ‘gayness’ in a video and describes a very deep and seemingly ‘loving’ relationship with a friend.

Hypocrisy Bombshell: Antigay John McCain has a Gay Chief of Staff

What does John McCain’s loyal chief of staff – a man who apparently is in a long-term relationship with another man, and appears to be open about it to John McCain — think about the fact that Sarah Palin devoutly worships at a church that promotes “converting” gays to heterosexuality? What, conversely, does she think of him? More importantly, what does John McCain think about all of this? And don’t we deserve some answers from the American media?

Over the past month I’ve been contacted by three different individuals (two of them members of the Log Cabin Republicans) claiming that McCain’s Senate chief of staff, Mark Buse, is gay. None of these individuals would be quoted by name, though each described Buse as being rather “open” to those around him and to his family – in a “glass closet” rather than deeply undercover or trying to appear heterosexual.

Then I was contacted in recent weeks by 46-year-old Brian Davis, an Arizona resident, who told me about his intimate relationship with Mark Buse (confirmed by Davis’ mother, as well as by a long-time friend), and who decided he needed to tell the truth about Buse, on the record, in light of John McCain’s dramatic shift to the ideological religious right in this election and his choice of Sarah Palin, starlet of the evangelical movement, as a running mate. (Repeated calls to Mark Buse’s office and calls and email to McCain’s communications office in the Senate regarding this story were unreturned. Mike Rogers, the blogger and activist who revealed the truth about Senator Larry Craig and others in politics, today reports this same reality about Mark Buse that I report here, with separate, independent sourcing.)

“We met in June of 1986,” Davis told me about the night he first laid eyes on Buse, who was also in his early 20s at the time. (Below is a video Davis gave to me, which, though it is of poor quality, shows both of them inside Buse’s apartment in Washington years later, in 1993). “It was at a bar in Phoenix called Connections,” Davis continued. “I will never forget it, because it was a big night. Divine was performing there that night.”

The reference is of course to the legendary, late drag queen and star of John Waters’ early films, certainly a memorable figure and huge attraction on the gay dance club circuit at that time. Brian Davis says Mark Buse loved Connections and enjoyed going out to the gay clubs in Phoenix in those days.

Today, Buse, 44, is one of the closest and most loyal men to Senator John McCain. He knows McCain’s family “intimately,” says Davis, and has spent much time with Cindy McCain. When Buse was in his early 20s, when Brian Davis met him, Buse worked as an intern for McCain, back when McCain was a House member. Twenty years later Buse has risen to the highest position in McCain’s Senate office. During those two decades he left McCain for a while to become an influential K Street lobbyist for Exxon Mobil, AT&T Wireless and other multinational corporations, emerging as someone very valuable to those companies – and to John McCain – after he returned to McCain’s Senate office…

Much more at the link.

Why do I care? Because McCain has sidled up to the anti-gay movement of the Right AND the fact that this gay guy (and I couldn’t give a damn about THAT) is intimately friendly with the McCain family and is another Lobbyist.

What gripes me most is the hypocrisy of it all and how someone’s personal orientation really means nothing when you find a trusted soul, except when you use the issue as a wedge to divide the public. Just like the right to choose and Palin’s daughter, but preaching abstinance and trying to ban abortion. Simply brazen hypocrites with us rednecks falling all over ourselves to grasp that divide to justify our insane biblical bullshit.
