I listened in to the last Raw Dawg Buffalo Radio Show on Thursday night. I had spent a couple of hours reviewing information I was gathering for this post… a post to explain just what I believe will happen as TPTB mind-muck all us rednecks with their dazzling bullshit into accepting the harsh austerity coming in the next year or two.
The first thing that stood out was the fact that most, if not all, the call-ins were pro-Paul (and likely members of the PPPP page of Facebook that I referenced a while back). This is the page that Kelso and Yancey started, in which Ron Paul is the main object of discussion. I was asked to join and did, knowing full well that my opinion would not be welcomed and that since I knew quite a few of the posters there, I also knew their modus operandi when it comes to debate. I did it to be part of an experiment that I knew up front would be bad for me… but I did it anyway.
I was immediately met with obfuscation, mis-direction, dead-end points, straw men arguments, and then the onslaught of the Rothbard Freaks who apparently haven’t enough brain cells to realize that this planet (nor the USA) can ever be that Idyllic Place they (and their freak leader, Rothbard) seem to think we live in. I tried to explain to them at the time that Paul is the “Austerity Bait and Switch” to the previous POTUS fools we have endured over the past several decades or more. I tried to show them that Paul’s platform will be hijacked, if they can’t squash him outright in the prelims. I tried to show that TPTB are not afraid of a Paul’s presidency, for it will play right into the meme. As a matter of fact, I would not be at all surprised to find out that Paul is THEIR man all along.
Why would I feel that, since so many seemingly smart people have totally swallowed the “Change” portion of his platform (they all want to bring us “change”, don’t they?). Why is it that these smart people, many I respect for their thinking ability, can be so gullible and sycophantic? How can these smart people (smarter than I) fall for ANOTHER “sElection” within the corrupt two-party system? How can these same smart people dog the bogusly single-minded, faux two party monstrosity and STILL believe that a solution could EVER come from that very system they disdain so much?
I didn’t want to call in to the show, for I felt I would be met with a knee-jerk negative reaction and that these “smart people” would not want to discuss or even entertain the facts I had to present. So, I fed some detail to Sista GP and Jackson Douglas via the chat window and hoped it would get some discussion as I listened in.
Man o man, did the fireworks light up the sky on the last show (from what I had heard, this was the best show I had ever been a part of or had ever heard on that channel).
To get the details, I cannot recommend enough to listen to this Guns and Butter Interview with Webster G Tarpley:
Mr Tarpley evaluates Paul’s “Plan To Restore America” and does some math. It is here where the “smart people” on the show started to see where this old dumb-ass redneck might be on to something after-all (altho Kelso did his best to simply poo-poo the entire argument, by saying the numbers were off… its Paul’s numbers… heh).
In a nut-shell, Paul’s plan intends to cut $1TRILLION is spending. He tells us about how we need to cut the military and stop “policing the world” (which, of course, I agree with). We need to stop the illegal wars (duh?). We need to cut ALL foreign aid, including (and I applaud) aid to Israel.
Sounds good, huh?
But let’s discuss the OTHER things Paul wants to cut and compare some numbers so that you will understand precisely where I am coming from in my open disdain for the Paul platform (this was initially not the case… I actually liked most of his platform, until I get the numbers). To me, it is not the dollar amount that is the most critical for this explanation, but for us to look at the percentages of cuts to the social network, and THEN compare that to the overall dollar amount.
Cuts:
15% from military
40% from SCHIP (State Children’s Health Insurance Program)… insurance for poor kids
35% Medicaid ($276B to be cut by$95B)
63% cut to FoodStamps (cut $53B from the $83B line item)
(I broke this down for the listeners… assuming 50,000,000 Americans on food stamps equals $180/month/person… to be cut to $60/month/person… equals $15/week/person)
Do I have to ask you if you believe (even for a second) that you could feed yourself or child for $15/week?
Paul’s Plan Caters To The Rich and to speculators… kills off poor folk
Paul wants to keep the Bush Tax Cuts
Abolish Capital gains
Abolish Estate Tax
Cut corporate taxes from an estimated 35% (that many never pay to begin with) to 15%
Wants to entice corporations to “come back to America” and will not tax for their foreign profits
(All the above will NOT help a single poor person/family I know. It is simply tax relief for the rich and corporations, but not for individuals)
Cut Foreign Aid
We might initially all applaud the tactic of stopping ALL foreign aid, especially when it is related to continuing the support of the murderous apartheid Israel. But what if you knew that America provides about 57% of the aid that goes to feed starving children in the world? Is it the sign of a “Christian Nation” when we starve the children that need the help, when we are spending arguably $1TRILLION/year in military alone? Can we not see the ludicrousness in spending all that money to maim and kill innocent children and THEN to also take away what little support we offer for the starving and sick ones?
Deregulation/Privatization
We have gone thru a few decades of continual deregulation and privatization. To a point now that we are experiencing the repercussions of those decisions. Paul would have us believe that we need to dismantle even MORE regulations. To free up these criminal assholes to steal even MORE of your money.
It is the deregulation that led to this very financial crash and your newest Hopey Changer wants MORE.
Libertarian Versus Progressive
One of my favorite “progressive” writers is Stephen Lendman. He wrote an excellent piece today that delves into this very subject. Please read:
That is an excellent article and approaches some of the same details I wrote of here.
Sure, he keeps talking about abolishing or reigning in The Fed. But in my opinion, The Fed is on its last legs, anyway. The entire system is being brought to a crash, after they squeeze as much out of it as they can. I have no doubt that ending The Fed could very well be part of the overall New World Order Agenda.
And don’t you worry your little self over those poor bankers who will seemingly take a hit when The Fed goes down and is replaced by some international banking cartel. Believe me, they will be eating just fine as you and your children suffer what could culminate in this.
A Bushie equals an Obama Maniac equals a Paul Bot.
’nuff said.
Let’s make a deal… let’s decide we are going to do things differently. Let’s decide that we cannot trust the reTHUGlican and demoRAT Parties. Let us never allow a R or D to be elected in office again. Something different is needed and us doing the same old same old is a sure sign we have become insane as a country.
You want something different, right? Some change?
How about you and I grow us some “Big Balls” and send these maniacs packing?

Not that we aren’t aware that many, if not most are corrupt, thieving assholes who now have voted in laws that will enable them to shut you up if you pitch a bitch, it still boggles my mind that the rest of America hasn’t figured out what a criminal cabal has taken over our congress and other branches of government.
The system is going down, boys. And before she dies, these criminals we call congresspeople will take as much bribes as possible, enrich themselves with insider trading that would have you and I put underneath the jail (and they brag about it), and prepare a place for themeslevs that protects their wealth while forcing you to pay for their thievery and the their cover-up of the the ultimate bank ripoff that is occuring right before our eyes.
The system needs reformed, but the reformers are gaming the system.

’60 Minutes’ Blows The Lid Off Congressional Insider Trading
Zeke Miller | Nov. 14, 2011, 7:52 AM
Members of Congress can legally make trades on non-public information they obtain during their official duties, CBS News’ ’60 Minutes’ reported on Sunday night.
Branded ‘honest graft,’ lawmakers can use market-moving information that they learn in congressional committees to trade on the stock market — actions that likely would carry stiff jail and civil penalties if they did not hold public office.
In one example, Steve Kroft reports that Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-AL), now the chair of the House Financial Services Committee, bet against the market in the days before the 2008 financial crisis hit — after getting ‘apocalyptic briefings’ from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and then-Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson.
Kroft also raises questions about the trading patterns of Speaker of the House John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi — and the real estate purchases of other senators and representatives.
The report relies heavily on the work of Peter Schweizer, a fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution, whose work ’60 Minutes’ independently verified.
“This is a venture opportunity,” Schweizer told ’60 Minutes.’ “This is an opportunity to leverage your position in public service and use that position to enrich yourself, your friends, and your family.”
A television report that questioned whether members of Congress are making investment decisions based on insider information drew a heated response from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, one of those highlighted.
A report on CBS’ “60 minutes” on Sunday said Pelosi was among several lawmakers — including Republicans such as House Speaker John Boehner — who had profited from transactions that raised the possibility of conflicts of interest. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45287592/ns/politics-more_politics/#.TsFQb3KMqLY

Congress: Trading stock on inside information?
(CBS News)
Washington, D.C. is a town that runs on inside information – but should our elected officials be able to use that information to pad their own pockets? As Steve Kroft reports, members of Congress and their aides have regular access to powerful political intelligence, and many have made well-timed stock market trades in the very industries they regulate. For now, the practice is perfectly legal, but some say it’s time for the law to change.
Its time to clean house and Never an R or D again!

Conduct an immediate, independent investigation of 911 (all facets leading up to and after the event). Any and all conspirators and their operatives should be summarily executed upon any finding of guilt (for this would be obvious treason). Any person or organization found to have lied, misrepresented, or hid facts revolving what happened on that fateful day should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law (members of the 911 Commission, Zelikow, Bush Admin officials, etc)
“Think Tanks” and other Elitist organizations with obvious blood lust as their mantra should be dismantled and those people held to scrutiny of truth by the American public. No think tank (nor its Zionist operatives,) should be allowed to organize and write battle plans for any military endeavor. No organization or persons should be allowed to blatantly lie about rationale to invade innocent lands and those who did should be prosecuted and held responsible for those lies.
End the “War on Drugs” immediately
End The Empire immediately
End all of wars – Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya… and all proxy wars, coup attempts, and assassinations
Eliminate all off shore military (Empire) bases and bring each and every military personnel home
Eliminate all over-seas money (especially to Israel)
Allow all “Too-Big-To-Fail” banks/corporations to fail like the rest of us when we over-extend or bet away our security.
Abolish Corporate person-hood.
Never vote for a Republican or Democrat (nor any defectors from these parties when we clean house)
Re-balance the power structure of the US Government (Executive power has been increased to dictatorial levels, but to the demise of the congressional power. There should be no presidential “signing statements”. )
Enact campaign finance laws taking corporate money out of elections (heavily scrutinize and hold accountable donations sent to congress people who cater to the whims of that industry: ie; Marsha Blackburn’s heavy telecom money influences her votes regarding legislature that affects them).
Have Term Limits and use a proportional voting system (shorten Senator terms to 4 years and increase Congressional seats to 4)
Minimize congressional pay, retirement and medical benefits (none of these millionaires have done anything to deserve these huge benefits and payouts for the rest of their lives). This should be an honor to serve and no enriching, lifelong career move.
Disallow wives and family members from active participation in congressional matters (example: Max Baucus’ wife). Obvious conflict of interest.
Disallow insider trading of Congressmen (the Congress has 50 times more millionaires than regular citizens, per capita). These people can get inside information and buy/sell stocks. For you or I, this is illegal. For them, its enriching.
Stop the revolving doors of industry/government. Want to know why regulators don’t regulate? Their next employer (the one they are supposed to watch) won’t like it. Look no further than this devil to see why there needs to be no revolving doors (he is responsible for the Patriot Act, much of the Homeland Security apparatus, and untold other secret initiatives AND is an Israeli dual citizen… see next point).
Do not allow dual citizenship personnel to be in our government (there is but one allegiance to as an elected official in America and that is to AMERICA, not Israel, nor any OTHER country). Frankly, as opposed to the Senators who don’t even question such things, I don’t trust anyone who shows allegiance to two different masters. For such devotees can only hate one and love the other or be devoted to one and despise the other (Matt 6:24). They certainly cannot be trusted. Period.
Stop all foreign campaign finance and strongarming by lobbying groups whose allegiance is to another country (AIPAC, as an example). What a Zionist wants for America is NOT what is BEST for America, but is BEST for Israel and their world take-over agenda.
Mandatory disclosure of ALL personal information when running for elected office with exclusion and/or prosecution for those who refuse (never allow a dead beat draft dodger or Kenyan with a Connecticut birth certificate… having never actually lived in Connecticut… become leaders of this country).
Audit the FED… hold the thieves accountable… Close the Fed… enact a viable financial system where the government issues currency backed by precious metals (never allow a fiat currency in this country again)
Eliminate the IRS.
Eliminate personal and corporate income tax.
Eliminate the estate (death) tax.
Abolish Obama Care… implement Single Payer, Not-For-Profit healthcare. (Get the middle man insurance companies out of it.)
Immediately reduce Federal spending by 25%, minimum
Eliminate hundreds of unnecessary Federal agencies, including the FDA, Education, Dept of Agriculture, etc (not to mention all the pork and hidden payouts found deep inside bills)
Abolish the Department of Homeland Security and its entire apparatus (especially the TSA)
Repeal the Patriot Act
Prosecute, imprison or execute the ones (including George W Bush) who are responsible for torture to be conducted in our names. Prosecute and imprison any and all presidents who do not hold these murderers accountable, including Barack Obama. Obama, himself, should be held accountable for the murder of American citizens without a trial.
Balance the Budget
Secure our borders, pursue a sane immigration policy

The Obama referendum came in and he got what he deserved. When you run on change and leave the same criminals in positions of power and don’t hold anyone accountable for obvious crimes, and allow them to continue to commit those crimes, you deserve to lose your power. This is what happens when you put Tim Geithner and Larry Summers in charge of the economy, and support Ben Bernanke for reconfirmation as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. This is what happens when you keep Robert Gates as your Secretary of Defense and General Petraeus in charge of your wars. This is what happens when you lie to protect the interests of BP over the American people. This is what happens when you bailout Wall Street and the health care industry and sell out everyone else. This is what happens when your rhetoric is the opposite of your actions. The past two years have clearly exposed Obama as a spineless corporate puppet and he deserves to be voted out in 2012.
Now, don’t get me wrong, most of the people who were just voted into office are just as bad, if not worse, as hard as that is to believe. This election marks the third straight time that the American public dramatically voted out the people who were in power. The fact of the matter is that these people are not voting for politicians that they like as much as they are voting against politicians they hate. Hopefully by 2012 the American public will finally understand that they must support Independent candidates and alternative political structures, and cannot vote for Democrats or Republicans, if they ever want to achieve the needed change. Both parties serve the same corporate masters. Yes, there are some differences between the two. The Democrats serve half of the top economic one percent, and the Republicans serve the other half. We have Neo-liberals to the left and Neo-cons to the right, leaving 99% of us without representation.
And the saddest part of all, the system is now so rigged via campaign finance, lobbying and the revolving door that it is almost impossible for people who represent us to even get into office, let alone stay in office and enact policies that will bring change. Two politicians in Congress who actually fought for us against the Economic Elite just lost their reelection bids. Alan Grayson and Russ Feingold lost because record amounts of cash went to funding the candidates who ran against them. Even their own party’s leadership didn’t support their reelection efforts. The bottom line in this money rigged system is that you cannot run against the most powerful corporations and win. They will just pour unlimited funds into defeating you, and your own party will desert you.
The truth that many so called “Independent” news outlets will not tell you is that this government is now beyond repair. You won’t hear many calls for Revolution because even the more “Independent” news outlets are dependent on the two-party system. It is absurd that these outlets still play into the obsolete Republican versus Democrat dynamic. The only reason why they do it is because they are dependent on grants from foundations and political organizations that will not fund them unless they bow to Democrats and bash Republicans, or vice versa.
I can speak from personal experience. I’ve lost a vital grant to fund my work because I wasn’t willing to focus my attention on blaming Republicans for our problems. Our problems are a result of the two-party system. When you engage in bashing one party in favor of the other, you become a pivotal cog in the machine that is killing our country. I will not be part of the disease. The stakes are too high now. America is burning and both parties are pouring gasoline all over it.
Most Americans have only a vague understanding of the collapse that we have been set up for. If you think the past two years were bad, they were just a warm up to what is coming our way. After analyzing the policies in place and the current political environment, I can assure you that the next two years will be worse that the previous two. 52 million Americans have already been driven into poverty, 30 million are in need of work, millions of American families have been foreclosed upon and the inequality of wealth is the most severe it has ever been in the history of the United States. And this is just the beginning phase of the decline. Millions more will be added to these totals and the social safety-nets that have held our society together are breaking down. Cuts to vital social programs are going to be severe across the board.
Our paid-off government is not going to fix our problems, they are making them worse. Don’t you think it’s time for you to start representing yourself? Don’t you think it’s time for you to start defending your family’s interests?
These are questions that I’ve already asked myself and deeply considered. I made my decision and have dedicated myself to building a wide-ranging network of alliances across the political spectrum and have drafted a common ground platform that we are building off of. I’ve analyzed power politics very closely over the years. I know how the game is played and I know who our enemies are. I’m going to do everything I can to end the two-party oligopoly.
I’m not saying that you should follow me. I’m saying that it’s time for YOU to lead. It’s time for YOU to get involved. Build your own army. Once you start paying attention and put in some time to do the research, you will clearly see for yourself that both parties are working against your interests. You will also see how critical the situation is and realize that you can no longer be passive and expect to keep living a healthy and secure lifestyle. We are going to be tested in ways we have never been tested before. We cannot get away with being apolitical anymore. It’s time for us to pay attention, to become directly involved in the decision-making processes that guide our life. I know this is something that most people don’t enjoy and don’t want to do, but the consequences of our inaction will be much worse than anything we have ever experienced.
Yes, I sound extreme, but these are extreme times. I’m not going to sit quietly as our future is ripped out from under us. I will not let my family’s well being and our country’s fate be decided by short-sighted greed addicted forces that have looted the global economy and brought poverty, death and destruction throughout the world.
I see the path we are on and I intend to change it!
It is evident that the overwhelming majority of the population has become cynical and feels that it is useless to try to change things. If these people would just realize that they are the overwhelming majority and take action, we can change things. We have power in numbers. We are 99% of the population. If we organize on common ground and fight back, we will win!

It’s all about the divide and how you and I keep falling into line with it. Even those of us who see the reality of the false paradigm have long held, brain-washed ideologies that can be difficult to break. It is ingrained in us, but that doesn’t make it impossible to break.
Every President since Kennedy has been hand picked by the Trilateral Commission. As a matter of fact, every candidate on either Party that made a November election were members of the Trilateral Commission and hand-picked to be the POTUS. The Elitists within this group doesn’t give a rat’s ass who wins, for they are all owned puppets and will carry forward the agenda prescribed for them.
Kennedy was the last POTUS to not be a member of this group and see what it got him.
But the world gobbles it up. White against blackany color, Rep vs Dem, Abortionist against Right to life, Liberal vs conservative, sugar vs hugh fructose corn syrup, just name it and claim your “side”.
Fall into the divide and help keep it that way. Focus your efforts on the “side” you dislike the most, barrage the Tea Partiers with your “progressive” rage, defend the current POTUS in lieu of all the bald faced lies he said to get elected, because God knows John and the reTHUGlicans would be worse (worse than what, B’Man asks). You think Papa Walnuts (as my buddy Tengrain calls him) would “bomb, bomb, bomb Iran”? You think he would have pulled the troops out of Iraq just to send them to Afghanistan? You think he would have put Big Money and Big Banking in their place? Do you REALLY believe there would be ANY damned difference, except the color of their skin?
Seriously, in your need to protect and defend your favorite “side”, can you NOT see they are playing you like a fool? Have you not the mental ability to know when you are being conned? Being played as a chump?
We MUST stop this shit. We must disallow them control over our every thought.
And it doesn’t help to keep silent… to not rock the boat. To just get along.
Complacency is as bad as participation in their circus.
We MUST stand up and as a nation of patriots (not Sheople) and take back the Republic. I am telling you that one of the fastest ways is to never vote R or D again. Of course, you cannot allow the thieves to leave R or D and gain control of any other “Party”, as the Tea Partiers are wont to do.
We can start anew, but it will take a concerted effort that is NOT impossible. IF enough people feel the real pain.
I feel it.
Do you?

IT FORCES 50 MILLION AMERICANS TO BUY AN INSURANCE PRODUCT FROM KNOWN CROOKS!
IT IS NOT “SOCIALIZED” MEDICINE. These people are just repeating what the Republican leadership have told them to say–people like Chuck Grassley who have done nothing but lie about the content of the bill.
IT IS WALL STREET CORPORATE PREDATOR MEDICINE.
IT HAS NO SAFEGUARD OF ANOTHER CHOICE, ANOTHER PLACE OTHER THAN WALL STREET FOR AMERICANS TO GO TO PURCHASE THEIR INSURANCE. IT HAS NO PUBLIC OPTION.
IT IS NOT A “GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER” YOU FOOLS! IT IS JUST ANOTHER WALL STREET TAKEOVER.
Her Highness provided a youtube clip of a young student as he interviews various partiers and gets their incoherent and erroneous responses.
Doesn’t that just say it all? Is it just me, but wouldn’t it make just a bit more sense if these people actually knew what they hell they were protesting? And let me just say right here and now, if you have the audacity to wear a GW Bush hat after those 8 years, you are totally beyond any hope. Its like a Bush bumper sticker on your car: surely you are so embarrassed by your two votes that put that imbecile (and his evil handler, Dick) in office, that you long ago scraped that off (even if the paint or the bumper, itself, had to go).
If this is what it means to be in a Tea party, ya’ll can have it.
For certain it will be the Republicans from poor areas who don’t endorse the health care bill who will suffer the most.
Yep that’s how it’s shaping up. Many of the Republicans who long touted that the Democrats will lose the House and the Senate if they vote for health care reform look like they could lose out in November if they vote against the health care bill.
Virginia Foxx, a Republican Congresswoman from the 5th Congressional District of North Carolina might be ammong the Republican casualties in November…
Wouldn’t that be great, except that it could get much, MUCH better than putting Corporately owned and controlled Democrats such as Dennis Kucinich back in the office where they, like the Senate’s Bernie Sanders, can simply back off from principle and promises because standing for what is right might “Undermine The Entire Process“. Well, duh, you damned old fool. That is exactly what needs to be done. Disrupt the giveaway and make the system right. So, with this kowtowing remark, we lost the only seemingly sensible Senator we had.
They ALL suck.
Let us acknowledge that and get rid of every damned one of them next election cycle.
Simply do NOT vote another incumbent and ignore the two parties. For even the “Independent” Bernie Sanders has no spine after being in for so long.
They ALL must go.
If Democrats really get serious about real health care reform as Harry Reid has promised and pass the public option in the next couple of months, it’s all over for the Republicans in November.
The Democratic health care reform would have the full support of 82% of the American people.
The Republican liars like Ghuck Grassley with his lies about “death panels” and other Republican poliiticians with their lies about the bill supporting abortion could very well be toast.
But if the Democrats are not careful and do not support a strong public option they can lose as well–not to Republicans, but to independents. More and more Americans are beginning to get the ties of Congress–both Republicans and Democrats–to Wall Street. We are not so dumb that we don’t get the connection between 50 million forced Wall Street Health Insurance customers and the stock portfolios of the 263 multimillionaires in Congress.
Kenny’s Sideshow has become one of my favorite blogs and I can say that the author is a fellow Tennessean (which is impressive in and of itself). Great stuff and in one recent example of a find he made (and I knew I had to share here) in a post I called “The Land Of The Sheep And Home Of The Slave” (which is a line from the article).
I was subscribing to the comment feed of Kenny’s post when “Anonymous” posted several items (claiming he was the original author). The style is very similar which means that the following has some rough language in it, so
BEWARE
and protect your frail sensibilities by turning away now.
I can’t vouch for the authorship, but it looks/sounds/reads the same. More importantly, it is the follow-up thoughts and plan for correcting the mess he discussed in the first piece that is worthy of note and careful consideration.
Hello people. I am the original author of this piece. I will reprint the comments I made on this piece I wrote from the first blog I noticed it had been reprinted on:
Today, rained out from work and at home on my computer, I was indulging myself in one of my hobbies which is reading and occasionally posting on L.A. Craigslist’s “Rants and Raves”, and noticed that someone had reprinted this rant I wrote last year, that they mentioned was taken from a Craigslist R&R in “Yoopers”….Damn, I thought to myself….maybe this thing grew legs since I wrote it…so I did a Google search on “friggin’ Gomers” and I see that it indeed has (lol).
I live in the Los Angeles area. Interestingly enough, this post made the “Best of Craigslist” in Portland. I wish I was as encouraged that it could make a difference in America’s collective consciousness as I am flattered that so many people seem to relate to it. I also wish I lived in a country where being identified as the author of this piece wouldn’t expose me to possible FBI surveillance, but as my dad used to say, “Wish in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills up first.”
If you’re wondering why I don’t sound as angry in this post as I did in the “I Hate What America Has Become” post…well, I have my moments, believe me. Every time I see Satan’s Cherub Cheney on the TV and realize how many good people have died because of this pig and others like him, every time I see footage from Israel on the news that never mentions their apartheid wall, every time a Neocon poison spout like Norman Podhoretz gets national air time to advocate nuking Iran, and every time America’s idiot centerpiece Sarah Palin rakes in another hundred grand for opening her vapid pie-hole…yeah, I get a little irritable.
I did leave America for a little while BTW. I went somewhere really nice. There were a lot of other Americans living there as well, some of whom I know moved away for some of the same reasons I am beginning to feel…that this country is already done. America will never be America again unless a cataclysmic change happens, unless shitstains like Bill Oreilly begin to be seen by Liberals AND Conservatives for exactly what they are…Joe McCarthyist, anti free speech corporate attack dogs who would have licked Hitler’s boots to have had their little cabaret shows on air in WWII Germany. And I would LOVE the opportunity to say that to Oreilly’s spider-veined, liver spotted face someday too…IF I could bring myself to stand face to face with that piece of garbage without taking a swing at him, which I sincerely doubt. He deserves getting the absolute shit beat out of him just for the nauseating rhetoric he spewed that was contributary to the murder of Dr. Tiller IMHO.
In case anyone is interested, here are a few changes that I believe would be neccessary to save America, and that I also believe will NOT happen without a complete revolt by THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA:
1. An END to corporate money in politics…and by an end, I mean any politician or corporate representative caught exchanging money or items of value in order to influence public policy gets 20 YEARS IN JAIL. PERIOD.
2. ANY media outlet that carries news or politics (magazines, radio stations, tv stations, etc) as a prerequisite for their license must give free of charge equal air time to ANY CANDIDATE that has collected a threshold amount of signatures to be on the ballot REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL PARTY AFFILIATION. This would eliminate the need for the vast sums of money candidates now must raise to compete, and also eliminate the favoritism shown to the two major parties.
3. An end to EXECUTIVE WRITS. When the president can arbitrarily pick up a pen and circumvent the Constitution and the entire legislative branch of government (W was famous for it) what the fuck difference is that from a monarchy, dictatorship, etc? What good are our system of checks and balances with a ‘kill switch’ like that? No too fucking very, my friends.
4. An END to our FINANCIAL AND MILITARY SUPPORT OF ISRAEL. God DAMN right. They’re a rich country. They do NOT need our money. We do NOT NEED THEIR BAGGAGE. They are an APARTHEID NATION, and for Ronald Reagan to say 20 years ago “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” then for us to turn around 13 years later and help to fund a longer and higher one in Palestine…well…gross hypocrisy is the first term that comes to mind. Any other country that pulled that shit would get sanctioned….as Israel has been nearly 70 times by the UN…with the USA being the LONE dissenting vote. This jaundiced favoritism needs to END.
5. AIPAC (the American Israeli Political Action Committee) needs to register as a FOREIGN lobbyist. They currently operate free of the restrictions placed on foreign lobbyists, which is obviously unfair and inequitable. I suggest reading Walt and Mearscheimer’s report on the unchecked power of the Israeli lobby in American politics if anyone doubts what I am saying.
6. An END to DUAL CITIZENS IN OUR GOVERNMENT….ANYWHERE. America can no longer afford questionable alliances in positions of power.
7. An END to the not-so-FEDERAL RESERVE. I’m always suprised by the number of Americans who do not realize that the FED consists of a string of PRIVATE BANKS…that have NEVER BEEN AUDITED. Our money isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on, and the Federal Reserve is one of the main reasons.
8. A renewed investigation into the crime that was never properly investigated that forever changed America….9/11. Bush and Cheney resisted ANY investigation into 9/11 for A YEAR AND A HALF, refused to testify on the record or seperately to this rigged commission, then ONLY when public pressure mounted to the point that it could no longer be ignored, they placed in charge of the commission a man who in 1998 had written the following:
“An act of catastrophic terrorism that killed thousands or tens of thousands of people and/or disrupted the necessities of life for hundreds of thousands, or even millions, would be a watershed event in America’s history. It could involve loss of life and property unprecedented for peacetime and undermine Americans’ fundamental sense of security within their own borders in a manner akin to the 1949 Soviet atomic bomb test, or perhaps even worse. Constitutional liberties would be challenged as the United States sought to protect itself from further attacks by pressing against allowable limits in surveillance of citizens, detention of suspects, and the use of deadly force. More violence would follow, either as other terrorists seek to imitate this great “success” or as the United States strikes out at those considered responsible. Like Pearl Harbor, such an event would divide our past and future into a “before” and “after.”
I guess visualizing world peace, or ways to preserve America’s freedoms in the wake of such an “event” was too much too ask of this clairvoyantly imaginative person who “magically” ended up presiding over a so-called ‘fact finding’ commission dealing with the same subject matter he wrote his college thesis on. Some coincidence, eh?
….More violence would follow, either as other terrorists seek to imitate this great “success” or as the United States strikes out at those considered responsible. Like Pearl Harbor, such an event would divide our past and future into a “before” and “after.”
“Those …Considered… Responsible. Not that it matters who actually was responsible, Eh Zelikow?
Listen to the way the guy places almost gleeful emphasis on all the negative aspects toward America, the loss of freedoms, the government exploitation of the resultant chaos…..and this is the person Bush and Cheney chose to head the 9/11 commission. One of the PNAC document authors, and coiners of the phrase “A New Pearl Harbor”. Personally, I’d like to give this asshole his OWN Pearl Harbor.
A lot to chew on, but I like the “coincidence” that he points out about Zelikow. Amazing, huh? But even better is the plan of action he lays out (which melds closely with my plan). What would you add?
Things are getting close, folks. I have said several times on this blog (and others) that there will come a time when the US Dollar will lose its place as reserve currency and the trading vehicle in the world of finance. The American exceptionalism thing will cause most of you to shrug and ask, “So what?”
So, what will happen? We will find that the moment this happens, we will find our economy in a swan dive from a mile high cliff. The indicators have been around for a while (and I am sure that kelso can give specifics), but suffice it to say that when the big players in the world begin to sell off their Dollar investments and force the world into some other currency for trade, we will not be prepared for the devastation that will follow. We have basically destroyed our manufacturing in the US and have become so heavily military focused that the knee-jerk reaction will be for Americans to try and find work in a missile factory, et al. Or building ships (the largest employer in Mississippi is military, as I understand it).
Keep an eye out on these countries and this particular person (this man, Jim Rogers, foresaw the current bubble bust and did something about it… moved out). Jim is readying to sell off his dollar holdings.
We already know that China and Russia are pushing for the same.
But now we have India, who is a huge trading ally (and military ally), questioning the US Dollar Dominance:
Suresh Tendulkar, an economic adviser to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, said he is urging the government to diversify its $264.6 billion foreign-exchange reserves and hold fewer dollars.”
The major part of Indian reserves is in dollars — that is something that’s a problem for us,” Tendulkar, chairman of the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, said in an interview yesterday in Aix-en-Provence, France, where he was attending an economic conference…
Singh adviser Tendulkar said that big dollar holders face a “prisoner’s dilemma” in terms of managing their holdings. “That’s why I’m telling them to do this,” he said.
He also said that world currencies need to adjust to help unwind trade imbalances that have contributed to the global financial crisis.
“The major imbalances which led to the current situation, the current account surpluses and deficits, have to be addressed,” he said. “Currency adjustment is one thing that suggests itself.”
It is really quite evident that it is all falling apart. Yet, we have Americans who glibly move along as if there is nothing wrong, or worse, defeated into believing that nothing can be done.
Let me tell you what can be done, at least from an elected representative standpoint:
First and foremost, we need a referendum to change the way elections are financed and conducted in America. No more electroal college bullshit.
Secondly, vote out of office, each and every corporately owned congressperson. Anyone who has received campaign finance from banks, telecom, military, etc, should lose their jobs immediately. Anyone who votes with their campaign finance interest in mind and not those whom they represent need to go post haste.
Third, Limit terms to 2. Period.
Fourthly, either force Congress to purchase their own health insurance or go Single Payer across the board, force them to invest in their own retirement, instead of being paid their full salary for the rest of their lives (even if having only served one term), force them to pay INTO Social Security, stop their ability to vote in their own raises and force them into observing and upholding the same laws that we, normal Americans, are made to uphold.
Fifth, MAKE them balance the budget. We simply cannot afford the $1T annually for overseas bases that are unnecessary and the cause for most of the back lash we have been receiving for many years. If the shoe were on the other foot, I guarantee things would be seen differently (say, if China had bases all over North and South America).
We have a small window of opportunity left before it is too late. If you are still asleep, forgive the intrusion, but we are just a gnat’s ass away from devastation.
UPDATE:
Washington’s Blog links to an article that shows where France, the 5th largest economy in the world, is now calling for an end to the Dollar dominance. Just like dominoes, here come the rest of the world’s countries…
I have absolutley nothing else left to lose. The appointment with the attorney is Monday and I had to scrape up all my coins and borrow a bit just to pay the amount to file Chapter7.
Luckily, my business can be run with very little credit and if I continue to work smartly (only travel when it is a known, viable project; continue to focus on businesses that may upstart or grow with the economy, like solar, medical and, yes, military; and continue to look out for new and exciting products to add to my repertoire).
I am very concerned about health care: my wife’s issues and I do have controlled high blood pressure. I am most concerned about my daughter, tho and making sure I can keep her healthy.
So, after a couple of days of introspection and hard work with my business and garden, I have decided that the scope of this blog must change. I have never been one to hold back much, but I do hold back (believe it or not). Not any more.
The fact of the matter is that in most cases I have been extraordinarily prophetic (and correct) about the circumstances that face America and the rest of the world. I knew on 9-11-2001 that those buildings were brought down by something other than planes. I knew back then that W wanted to take out Saddam and invade Iraq and would look for any excuse to do so (following the PNAC dictate to a “T”). When W was getting all those rave reviews from you “progressives”, I took the side of Phil Donahue and Dennis Kucinich and KNEW damn well that it was all a bunch of lies. (What this means is that if you were part of the 90%+ approval rating of that ignorant fuck early on, you have no credibility, forethought or discernment) . Just a mindless sycophantic Sheople awaiting the slaughter.
I saw the financial thing long before many others even considered it newsworthy. I felt it in my business and saw it slowly trail off until I cannot seem to get an order (I lost one order, but all the rest are just sitting on their money until the economy starts to pick up: a never-ending cycle of “wait and starve”). I have been correct that the man that you, the dumbass Sheople in this country elected, was a lying sum-bitch. But you fell for it to spite Bush and the perceived “bad guys” (I’m talking to you pretend Progressives now). You lame-assed fuckers have elected a black Bush, even though you thought you were voting for the antithesis of Bush. It only proves what a bunch of ignorant assholes you are. He proves it with virtually every initiative and act.
The fact of the matter is that I have been correct and you, you stupid fuck heads have NOT been correct. So, if you truly want to try and correct things from your debacle, we need to address the 6 critical issues that this country must address as quickly as possible for us to try and salvage this country from those that are hell-bent on what can only be called Fascism (Friendly or unfriendly). Fascism is the corporate takover of a government and this is certainly the case for America. When that “corporate” entity includes the MIC, PIC, a controlled media and public, and a controlling Big Money/Fed Reserve, it will take a mass uprising to change things.
But you ignorant fucks are going to have to wake up and stop figting over their little wedge issues; come together and stand for truth and morality; get rid of these money grubbing politicians who are reaping huge benefits from stealing your money and taking the money from their Corporate cronies.
#1: Election Reform MUST take place. It should be publicly funded and the committees that control debates should NOT be the ones who fund and control the candidates. There should be no PAC money or any corporate funding allowed. Period. The DNC and RNC should have no say in who debates.
#2: We need to dissolve the Corporate Personhood. ONLY a human being should have the rights that were intended for us… Corporations should not be allowed any of these rights, as if they, too, were human.
#3: We must End The Fed and re-introduce a monetary system that is controlled by government, not the private banking systems.
#3A: We need to find, charge, and prosecute any and all of the bankers and thieves who brought the country to its knees.
#3B: we need every tax dollar back from the TARP and various banking bailouts and let those sorry, thieving mutherfuckers default and fail. Period.
4: We MUST introduce a Single-Payer, Not-for-profit healthcare system and totally eradicate the scurge we call “Health Insurance Companies”. In the meantime (please see #1), let’s vote out each and every asshole who has taken a single dime from these entities (including Obama, Baucus and all the other rich dickheads who are also “invested” in these very same companies). Each and every state needs to take out those sorry fuckers who won’t put the only viable system “on-the-table” (and goddamnit, stop agreeing with these lying assholes that the “Public Option” is a real option for Single Payer. It is NOT). It is just a weak-kneed population so easily swayed by bullshit that it is sickening.
#5: Stop The American Empire and Hegemony. We must stop spending over a $1Trillion a year of “defense” when their is nothing to defend ourselves from with military might. Everyone knows that Iraq is a damned lie (but your Messiah wants to continue the “war” and also fund the IMF with some of those funds). If you ignorant rednecks would simply get your head out of your ass, this is really quite simple: we are pouring money into other countries while we are falling totally apart here. Yet, you and your ignorant ass will argue about abortion and ACORN being the biggest issues that face us or that we are headed to Socialism (I wish).
#6: Stop the Prison Industrial Complex and Disable America’s Police State We must stop the imprisoning of marijuana/drug users and instill a real program for rehabilitation, instead of the feeding of the private Prison beast. At the same time, we need to implement studies of the medicinal value of marijuana and get rid of the wore-out and failed, “War on Drugs”. we need to educate cops that they are not above the law and to stop government funding of their coverups in abuse (police departments get money to defend against lawsuits for their actions and/or mistakes, instead of being held accountable)
More than anything else: WAKE THE FUCK UP!
This blog is ratcheting up the rhetoric. I have nothing to lose and don’t give a fuck. You can stick along for the BuelahRide or jump off now. But if you want real change, you better start listening to my redneck ass and actually begin to help. Otherwise, you will be in my spot shortly; broke, bankrupt and not a customer (family member) ready to offer even a crumb.
Just think. If you had raised enough money for his election/bamboozlement campaign you may have a job now, instead of being laid off and forced to accept lesser wages and no insurance coverage.
President Obama’s picks for the new American ambassadors to the Bahamas, Canada and South Africa will not only share a new job title, but they have all shared a role raising funds for Obama’s presidential campaign. Donald Gips, the nominee to serve as ambassador to South Africa, bundled at least $500,000 for Obama’s presidential run. Nicole Avant, the nominee for the ambassador post in the Bahamas, also bundled at least half a million. David Jacobson, the nominee for the ambassador to Canada, brought in between $50,000 and $100,000.
U.S. presidents have long rewarded big campaign donors, fundraisers and other loyalists with ambassadorships, and Obama looks to be continuing that tradition. As we reported last week, half of the ambassadors he named at that time were big donors and bundlers. This week, Obama adds three more to a list that is likely to keep growing.
I would start by saying that any viewpoint of “across the aisle” plays directly in to the game. It is this two party system which has become, if it wasn’t always, corrupt. The real owner/masters are the elitists: like bankers, political power players and those that control the media. People who run lobbyist efforts that form the government agenda, even when apparently against the will of the people (CFR, PNAC, AIPAC, etc); or, worse, lie and deceive them into policies that are not just unwise as a country, but immoral. Entities like the Fed Reserve and the IMF and the bullshit council Obama just attended. All that is what is driving the agenda for America.
What should be driving the agenda for America? First and foremost, The Constitution. Secondly, the citizens. It shouldn’t be money, power and world domination.
Why would I blame Bush for the past issues? He was in the driver’s seat. But just look around. I haven’t cut Barack Obama a bit of slack. I am one of his worse critics, imo. This has nothing to do with “across the aisle”, “them or us”, “Dem or Rep”. This is simply holding those that lie to us with abandon, accountable for their lies.
I am sick of those that do not have my, or most Americans’ best interest at heart, making decisions and lying to/brainwashing my compatriots to go along. I am sick of the hypocrisy and apparent lack of attention by most Americans… or those who only take their news from the MSM of the USA. I am even sicker of those who now claim the mantle of progressiveness, when in fact, they are nothing more than water carrying sycophants for the Demorat Party. I explore that more here with kelso’s nuts help:
“Progressive Blogs” have really become nothing more than water carriers for Obama and his administration, no matter what new lie is discovered or new negation of a promise made. The C&L’s, Daily Kos and ThinkProgress seems to be much more interested in playing to the MSM (you are seeing the “left” take over the airwaves slowly but surely).
The sad part is that it is so damned obvious that many of these are simply enamored by the attention they get, the power of the TV appearance, the search for more hits on their website, drawing in more money that they would back Barack Obama’s policies and lies, no matter how atrocious. It is virtually no difference between their ilk and the ones who defend Bush. The modus operandi is the same. Protect the party, and to hell with those that disagree.
Just yesterday, C&L’s David Neiwert (a favorite of my fake progressive attack dog, Gene’O) posted a congratulatory and agreeable post to Glenn Beck. Honoring him for “debunking” the FEMA camps set up. David and the Democrats at C&L posted a similar piece a few days before and now, all the sudden, these water-carriers are best buddies with Beck because he did the same piss-poor investigation into this issue that The Elite’s mouthpiece spouted.
Damn, David (and John Amato), you must be very proud that you are on the same erroneous page that Glenn beck is on. Nice work, geniuses.
Did it ever occur to you that a real investigation would actually investigate the paper trail of the government’s outline of the programs or the fact that Halliburton was give the contracts to build these FEMA camps? Why, of course not. Methinks that these “crack investigators” learn how to use that sleuthing tool called a Google Search, perhaps. Maybe even just for jollies. Google “PDD51″ to see that we could be arguably under a form of Martial Law right now. Google Executive Order 11,000 or go here to see that they have implemented a contingency plan for mobilizing a civilian work force, can take over the electrical grid and every other utility in the nation, or any other myriad of actions that take over the country and put people in to a controlled situation. Or try “H.R. 645″ to see the outline for such “Emergency Centers” and their implementation. Maybe this paper, “Strategy for Homeland Defense and Civil Support” may give you something to “investigate”.
In other words, these crack “investigators at C&L, the ones who give Popular Mechanics all sorts of back pats and suggestions that they are some sort of viable debunking source (why on earth this is assumed is beyond me, especially after their “debunking” of the 9/11 conspiracy… another area David and the Demorats from C&L will likely agree with the right-wing idiot now).
I have no patience for those who defend the past atrocities, most especially through their silence, like is Barack Obama’s tact. I hold him accountable now for those past atrocities and lies, because he will not honor his constitutional pledge and obligation to this great country of holding these thieving, murderous bastards accountable. But those who defend Bush now appear to me to be either party brainwashed, ignorant, or idiotic. Anyone who looks at what he allowed, even if he is a nincompoop, and not consider something horribly wrong, perhaps even downright evil may have occurred, is suspicious. I’m sorry, but that is the truth at this point.
But it isn’t just Bushies… now I see the exact same sheople-like following of Barack Obama by “the other side”. As a matter of fact, it is far worse with the Cult of Obama. People have invested themselves into a liar and now (just like the Bushies of past) are not willing to admit the mistake, much less actually scream and hold the man accountable for his lies and rhetoric that took their money and votes. I can think of no other description except “fools”. The “lesser of two evils” meme has gotten us a real Corporately owned master, but that was the plan all along, yet these “Progressive investigators” are too stupid to understand this simply issue.
Now, let me describe the moving target of my self-applied label (for my world view has changed over my lifetime):
Am I Liberal? On many issues regarding social welfare and the health of American citizens. Yep. Even “Progressive” about it.
Am I Conservative? When it comes to financial issues, especially regarding the MIC, the pork, and all the shenanigans… most especially the expansion of the American Empire. A resounding YES, I am Conservative.
But, we should not even be thinking about those wedge issues when the very heart of our Union is being torn apart by thieves and murderers (or covering up for them making them complicit). We should not be playing into their games of division and look more deeply at the issues that matter the most and then, you and I (Conservative and Liberal, whatever) can truly get shit done.
Who knows, if you strip away your “conservative” label, you may even realize that you are “liberal” in some ways.
Read the two paragraphs below… let it sink in… and ask yourself how this can be justified in any sane way. If you read the rest of the article, you find out that the banks can decide, whenever they so like, if we have “done enough” yet, or not, to entice them to lend again.
Take a deep breath and consider, slowly, what Goldman Sachs is saying after YOU saved their ass.
March 31 (Bloomberg) — The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve have spent, lent or committed $12.8 trillion, an amount that approaches the value of everything produced in the country last year, to stem the longest recession since the 1930s.
New pledges from the Fed, the Treasury Department and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. include $1 trillion for the Public-Private Investment Program, designed to help investors buy distressed loans and other assets from U.S. banks. The money works out to $42,105 for every man, woman and child in the U.S. and 14 times the $899.8 billion of currency in circulation. The nation’s gross domestic product was $14.2 trillion in 2008…
I’ll be totally honest. This pisses me off to no end. And it also demonstrates that no matter what happens, the bankers who failed will be treated far better than you or I. I can’t help but believe that we are either being intentionally pillaged or they are buffoons.
Which is preferable to you?
I dislike both options. But the issue is how do they expect any rational person to think this is good or sound policy. On its face it is idiotic, but add the fear mongering and the “eyelash” from financial devastation cries and I can’t help but think there is purpose in these actions that can only lead to ruin. That they want the system to fail.
Its time to vote these people out. All of them.
Its time to wake up and rid ourselves of the corrupt two party system and take back control from them and their corporate and banking masters. I just hope it isn’t too late, because the corruption may be past the point of no return. Doom may be here before the next election.
