“This Government Does Not Torture” ~ George Waterboard Bush

George “Waterboard” Bush and Crew

Remember when GWB explained to the world that “this government does not torture“? I bet most of you believed him, right? Just like the Fox News slurping jarhead I had a conversation with not long ago. When I said that it embarrasses me that my country has reverted to what we once prosecuted others for, he asked me what I was talking about. I explained that Iraqi prisoners were tortured. He said I didn’t know what I was talking about. You see, he’s “been there” and there was no torture.

I asked, “What about the waterboarding?”

He laughed and said, “I’ve been waterboarded, have you? That isn’t torture, they did it to us in the Marines.”

Of course, what he went through was hardly torture, even though some ex-marines and Seals say it was. Is it torture if you are doused with water for 10-15 seconds? By your friends and fellow Marines that you know damn well don’t have ill intent for you? When you know it is practice training in case you get caught behind enemy lines?

Well, I would think that IF it were a scared Muslim dude who is held down by steroid laden monstrosities, cursing you, slapping your nuts with batons, causing sleep deprivation by chaining your hands to the ceiling, not allowing you to rest for up to 40 hours or more at a time, being threatened with death and mock executions, threats of killing your loved ones if you don’t “confess”… that it might be a tad bit different than the comparable love-fest initiated by your fellow jarheads.

But to people like him its the same, because, you know, he’s so bad ass and all.

Even the wikipedia tells us that its not the same:

The difference was in the manner in which the detainees’ breathing was obstructed. At the SERE school and in the DoJ opinion, the subject’s airflow is disrupted by the firm application of a damp cloth over the air passages; the interrogator applies a small amount of water to the cloth in a controlled manner. By contrast, the Agency interrogator … applied large volumes of water to a cloth that covered the detainee’s mouth and nose. One of the psychiatrist / interrogators acknowledged that the Agency’s use of the technique is different from that used in SERE training because it is ‘for real’ and is more poignant and convincing.

It appears that we did, in fact, torture others (according to the Constitution Project). In a recent 577 page report (that you can read HERE), the bipartisan committee of 11 (led by Asa Hutchison, ex-DHS undersecretary/DEA Head, and James Jones) explains that we did (this is a death knell for those who that we never tortured).

Let’s review what was done to these people in our name:

The OLC issued a second memorandum signed by Bybee in August 2002 (hereinafter Bybee Techniques Memo) that concluded 10 specific “enhanced” techniques were not torture, and could be used lawfully by the CIA. The techniques were: “(1) attention grasp, (2) walling, (3) facial hold, (4) facial slap (insult slap), (5) cramped confinement, (6) wall standing, (7) stress positions, (8) sleep deprivation, (9) insects placed in a confinement box, and (10) the waterboard.”

In finding that the 10 techniques were not torture, the Bybee Techniques Memo relied not only on a narrow legal definition of torture, but on factual representations about how the techniques would be implemented that later proved inaccurate. To give one example, the OLC memorandum stated the volume of water used to waterboard a suspect would be carefully controlled, and that while enhanced techniques might be used more than once, “repetition will not be substantial.” In fact, one detainee was waterboarded 83 times, and another detainee 183 times, by interrogators who “continuously applied large volumes of water.”

So the report shows that we did torture and that it:

“damaged the standing of our nation, reduced our capacity to convey moral censure when necessary and potentially increased the danger to U.S. military personnel taken captive.”

Yeah. No shit. And we killed and maimed many that confessed to stuff they never did in the first place.

The New York Times tells us:

The task force found “no firm or persuasive evidence” that these interrogation methods produced valuable information that could not have been obtained by other means. While “a person subjected to torture might well divulge useful information,” much of the information obtained by force was not reliable, the report says.

One key issue that you ObamaBots need to realize is that your favorite murderer in chief wanted to “look forward, not backward” when he had the chance to hold the Bush criminals responsible. (You two party pukes make me sick.) Nevermind that he didn’t want these torture regimens stopped, because sure as hell, he uses the same schemes.

Hutchison didn’t want to believe it and had to be convinced, but finally had to admit that he now has no doubts about what the US has done:

“This has not been an easy inquiry for me, because I know many of the players.”

Mr Jones chimed in:

“I had not recognized the depths of torture in some cases,”

“We lost our compass.”

The True Meaning Of Nazism

Discovered! Iconic photo in Buchenwald is dishonest photo-fakery

By Carolyn Yeager, Dec. 19, 2012

This is the photograph that Allied Supreme Commander General Dwight David Eisenhower ordered, in April 1945, to be posted in every German town and city to show the defeated population the “true meaning of Nazism.”

Was this photo made to order according to Ike’s specifications?

A huge blown-up version then went on tour in the United States for the same purpose, to impress on the American people what evil they had gone to war against; why the sacrifice of blood and treasure was justified! Below: “A traveling exhibit of larger than life size photographs was first shown in St. Louis, MO in summer 1945 and then taken to Washington, DC.

911: Who, What, Why, and How???

What they expect us to believe:

Paul Craig Roberts tells us:

One is that according to the official story, a handful of Arabs, mainly Saudi Arabians, operating independently of any government and competent intelligence service, men without James Bond and V for Vendetta capabilities, outwitted not only the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency, but all 16 US intelligence agencies, along with all security agencies of America’s NATO allies and Israel’s Mossad. Not only did the entire intelligence forces of the Western world fail, but on the morning of the attack the entire apparatus of the National Security State simultaneously failed. Airport security failed four times in one hour. NORAD failed. Air Traffic Control failed. The US Air Force failed. The National Security Council failed. Dick Cheney failed. Absolutely nothing worked. The world’s only superpower was helpless at the humiliating mercy of a few undistinguished Arabs.

It is hard to image a more far-fetched story–except for the second thing you need to know: The humiliating failure of US National Security did not result in immediate demands from the President of the United States, from Congress, from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and from the media for an investigation of how such improbable total failure could have occurred. No one was held accountable for the greatest failure of national security in world history. Instead, the White House dragged its feet for a year resisting any investigation until the persistent demands from 9/11 families for accountability forced President George W. Bush to appoint a political commission, devoid of any experts, to hold a pretend investigation.

Who REALLY did it:

Even the earliest media reports knew, but have been removed since:

Even the Devil, himself, (plus the devil’s relatives) was complicit.

Why?

Several simultaneous reasons

Trauma-based Mind-control

John Friend explains that one purpose is to gain control of the world’s minds by inflicting trauma on a mass scale, in order to bring us around to supporting the Empire’s goals (also know as Zionism’s goals):

There is no doubt that 9/11 was a trauma-based mind control operation on a societal scale. Think about it: (fake) images of “hijacked” airliners full of innocent Americans smashing into the iconic World Trade Center towers in New York City were shown repeatedly on television, over and over again, to a traumatized public. Media personalities, politicians, and others provided emotional (scripted) commentary of the day’s events, immediately identifying the culprits patsies: Osama bin Laden, Muslim extremists, and that evil boogey-man,”al-Qaeda”. World Trade Center “victims” were shown jumping out of the buildings due to the fires, all shown on television to a terrified and vulnerable audience. “Victim” family members stepped forward to explain the alleged phone calls made by various “victims” on the hijacked airliners. 9/11 was a day full of trauma, both physical and psychological. We know individuals and societies are more easily controlled and manipulated when they are in a traumatized state.

Believe it or not, the events of 9/11 appear to have been a completely scripted and staged psychological operation, involving fake videos, manufactured “victims”, projected images, fabricated evidence, and scripted witnesses, media personalities, and “actors”…

… 9/11 was a PSYOP not only on the American public, but the entire world.  Israel and international Jewry, along with their goyim puppets in the Jew-run United States government, perpetrated this massive fraud against the world 11 years ago today in order to demonize Islam, launch the fraudulent “Global War on Terror” against Israel’s Muslim enemies in the Middle East, and initiate their Zionist-run police state tyranny in the United States and other Western countries.  It is past time for the American public to wake up from this trauma-based mind control operation and recognize that Israel was behind 9/11, not Osama bin Laden and “Muslim extremists”.  Anyone saying anything to the contrary is working for the enemy, knowingly or unknowingly. All politicians and media personalities covering up this massive fraud, which has led to the murder and destruction of millions around the world, is a traitor. Those refusing to recognize 9/11 for what is really was and remains are as guilty as the Jews who planned, executed, and benefitted from it, period.

Again, Mr Roberts clues us in to at least one aspect of “why”:

The circumstantial evidence is that these were orchestrated events designed to keep fear alive, to create new intrusive powers for a new over-arching federal policy agency, to accustom US citizens to intrusive searches and a police force to conducting them, and to sell expensive porno-scanners and now more advanced devices to the Transportation Safety Administration. Apparently, this expensive collection of high-tech gadgetry is insufficient to protect us from terrorists, and in August 2012 the Department of Homeland Security put in an order for 750 million rounds of ammunition, enough to shoot every person in the US 2.5 times.

What Would Hitler Do?

The answer is really what Hitler would NOT do. Most excellent run-down by the Video Rebel on what even the supposed villainous Hitler would have never done to his own citizens (I can’t make contact with horse, for he has be blocked in comments, nor provides any means of contact. If this posting is unacceptable to him, I will immediately remove the post, but this country needs to be educated to the truth of the situation and understand what hypocritical liars our government is):

Adolf Hitler Would Never Have Done That.

I once carried the Pax Christi banner at an anti-war rally. (No, I am not a Catholic.) At the time the religious people who opposed war asked the question:’What would Jesus do?’ We are a secular nation and should set our standards at a more human level. If what the banker occupied government does  is way beyond what Hitler would  have done to his people in the 1930s, then I think we have let our government go too far. I would ask you to compare the security Hitler made for the Berlin Olympics of 1936 to  the farce that just transpired in London.

Adolf Hitler never would have arrested 8 year-old girls for selling lemonade in front of their homes but America is doing that.

Adolf Hitler never would have arrested elderly couples for having a vegetable garden in their yard but America is doing that.

Adolf Hitler never would have arrested farmers for selling fresh produce on the side of the road but America is doing that.

Adolf Hitler never would have fined a woman who owned a farm for giving a birthday party for her friend’s ten year-old child but America has done that.

Adolf Hitler never would have allowed security men to grab Miss Germany at an airport, insert a finger in her vagina and lift her in the air. But America has already done that and never reprimanded the TSA men involved.

Adolf Hitler never would have allowed his security agents let a man with a small bomb on board an airplane in order to sell bogus bomb detecting equipment. But America already done that and never reprimanded the men involved.

Adolf Hitler never would have sentenced a man to 30 days in jail for collecting rain water on his own property to use on his gardens but America has done that.

Adolf Hitler never would have knowingly issued taxpayer ID numbers to illegal aliens so they could take jobs away from German citizens and file for billions of dollars in fraudulent tax refunds. But America’s government has done that.

Adolf Hitler never would have let a man steal 1.2 billion dollars from segregated customer accounts and let him go free. But America’s government has done that.

Adolf Hitler never would have let bankers front run stock purchases from mutual funds and pension plans some that the banks see an incoming order, jump in front of the line, buy the stock and sell it for a higher price to you. This allows the banks to clip a hundred million dollars a day from our savings. Again Hitler never did that. But the American government does allow that to be done every day of the week.

Adolf Hitler never would have allowed his security agents strip search elderly women in their 80s and 90s in some cases going home to die and in other cases ripping off colostomy bags. But America’s government has done that.

Adolf Hitler never would have let his Attorney General to sell guns by the container load to drug gangs in his own nation so they could shoot at the members of other gangs thus endangering the lives of German citizens. In the US court documents reveal that the federal government did not only ship guns to Mexico in exchange die cocaine. They also sold guns to violent street gangs in Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles and Gary. These gangs kill Americans. On most weekends Chicago and Los Angeles will have more gun deaths than the twelve that movie theater in Aurora Colorado  had. The President went to see the survivors of Aurora bur does not meet people who died from the guns he illegally sold to gangs in either Mexico or the United States. Adolf Hitler would never have done that but your government does do that.

Adolf Hitler never would have let bankers counterfeit billions of stock shares to manipulate stock prices and to force some companies into bankruptcy and force others to curtail expansion and hence hiring of new workers. The bankers. The bankers sell short stock shares that do not exist. They are supposed to cover that naked exposure in days but the Depository Trust allows these counterfeit shares to float around for 6 months or even a year. This drives down the price a small investor gets if he has to ell to pay taxes or to fund a child’s education. Hitler never did that. But the American government does allow that to be done every day of the week.

Adolf Hitler allowed the International Red Cross to have monthly unsupervised inspections of all of his concentration camps during war time. The US government would never allow ourside medical doctors free access to its secret prisons  in peace time. And is in fact saying some prisoners will never be released because they do not want the people of this world to see what they are doing to human beings.

B’Man’s Hypocrite Watch: Are You Searching Your Soul?

Barry is:

“All of us recognize that these kinds of terrible, tragic events are happening with too much regularity for us not to do some soul searching to examine additional ways that we can reduce violence,”

Well, except when it comes to his God-like ability to reign hellfire down upon anyone whom he deems needs it. In that case, once a week or so is “regular” enough:

It is the strangest of bureaucratic rituals: Every week or so, more than 100 members of the government’s sprawling national security apparatus gather, by secure video teleconference, to pore over terrorist suspects’ biographies and recommend to the president who should be the next to die.

Any old excuse will do and if a farmer is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Bummer:

In Pakistan, Mr. Obama had approved not only “personality” strikes aimed at named, high-value terrorists, but “signature” strikes that targeted training camps and suspicious compounds in areas controlled by militants.

But some State Department officials have complained to the White House that the criteria used by the C.I.A. for identifying a terrorist “signature” were too lax. The joke was that when the C.I.A. sees “three guys doing jumping jacks,” the agency thinks it is a terrorist training camp, said one senior official. Men loading a truck with fertilizer could be bombmakers — but they might also be farmers, skeptics argued.

It is very easy for a heartless, cowardly murderer:

That record, and Mr. Awlaki’s calls for more attacks, presented Mr. Obama with an urgent question: Could he order the targeted killing of an American citizen, in a country with which the United States was not at war, in secret and without the benefit of a trial?

The Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel prepared a lengthy memo justifying that extraordinary step, asserting that while the Fifth Amendment’s guarantee of due process applied, it could be satisfied by internal deliberations in the executive branch.

Mr. Obama gave his approval, and Mr. Awlaki was killed in September 2011, along with a fellow propagandist, Samir Khan, an American citizen who was not on the target list but was traveling with him.

If the president had qualms about this momentous step, aides said he did not share them. Mr. Obama focused instead on the weight of the evidence showing that the cleric had joined the enemy and was plotting more terrorist attacks.

“This is an easy one,” Mr. Daley recalled him saying…

See how all this works. God (aka Barry Soetoro) wants to calm the violence among his creation, while keeping the rights to kill, maim, and torture all for himself.

Is it just me, or does anyone reading this sense just a tad bit of hypocrisy?

Methinks that Barry better search his own cold, hollow, callous, and dark soul before telling the rest of us to do so.

B’Man’s Rants: What Can Be Done To Fix The Country I Love?

Not Necessarily In Any Particular Order:

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

Please add points of interest or correct anything I may have off base in comments…

I Bet W Wired Up Those Buildings…

How many of you have heard this as a retort when you ask questions about the demolitions of that day?

I have had conversations, level-headed, no screaming, sound judgment and clear-headed, and the best reply I get from quite a few is immediately building that straw man. Do I have to tell you how stupid it makes you look if you even ask that question?

First of all, W is too damned stupid to wire a lightbulb, much less a demolition. Second of all, why would anyone immediately suggest that the POTUS/King would dirty his own hands? It is deflection and diversion, of course. It may be outright complicity and hiding truth, but most of the conversations I have are with “right-wing” rednecks who seem to want to believe anything that comes from Rush Limpballs. Seriously, I believe that most are simply ignorant and do not WANT to believe that our own government would do such a thing.

Sadly, these people are going to be on their own and sitting in some camp someday (likely happy as a lark). That is, as long as they allow football and Nascar.

So, when a person begins to investigate who could have actually wired those buildings, one begins to find all sorts of “coincidental” connections. Weird shit like the George W Bush family connections to the security of the WTC complex. Paul Bremer’s active role in all of this BEFORE becoming the Czar of Iraq, taking his (and Giuliani’s) booty buddy, Keric with him.

Kevin Ryan was interviewed on Guns and Butter recently and I wanted to share the interview because it is the most thorough synopsis of the connections that made the wiring possible. The connections are amazing and certainly this SHOULD cause enough stir for another REAL investigation by some independent source (hopefully from another country). We cannot spend one more minute listening to the very same lying talking heads who either got us in the mess or protect the ones that did, providing themselves with even more power and MONEY.

Guest Post: The OP Again

I received an email submission from the guy who wrote “I Hate What America Has Become“. I was very happy to see this and wanted to share it in its own post:

When Bush Jr. Was Running For President

When W. Bush was running for the presidency, and some alleged “reporter” lobbed him the usual softball, “Mr. Bush, would you care to tell the American people what your administration’s plans for America’s future are?” Why couldn’t he have just come out with the TRUTH? What would have been so hard about saying:

Well, thank you for that question Sam, as a matter of fact, Mr. Cheney and I DO have a plan for the future of America! It goes something like this:

Several months after I am elected, after Mr. Cheney and I have done our best to surround ourselves with people who’s ties to Israel, oil interests, defense contractors, drug cartels and miscellaneous shadowy figures that go all the way back to dear old dad’s time at the CIA, we plan to arrange a horrific airliner terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, which we will INSURE THE SUCCESS OF by scheduling “air defense drills” to happen at the exact moment the real terror attacks are taking place, where NORAD will be made to STAND DOWN for 85 MINUTES! You might have read about this in the PNAC white paper that Mr. Cheney signed called “Rebuilding America’s Defenses“. In case you’re not up to speed on this document, it called for, among other things, a terror attack to happen on American soil like a “New Pearl Harbor” to frighten and swindle Americans into supporting an ultra-right wing Neocon war agenda, and also advocates the development and use of “Genome specific” biological weapons of mass destruction as a “politically useful tool”. Nice, huh?

One of Benjamin Netanyahu’s buddies, this Larry Silverstein guy who leases the WTC property will make about 3 BILLION DOLLARS off of the deal too, because he’ll up the terrorist insurance on the WTC complex right after he acquires it! Not a bad profit for a 2-month investment, eh? Access to SABOTAGE the buildings with THERMATE CUTTER CHARGES will be no problem either…. Larry’s hiring my brother Marvin Bush’s company to provide “security.” Ain’t that rich?

Wait, it gets better…. we’re gonna blame the whole thing on the ‘black sheep’ son of a FAMILY FRIEND and BUSINESS PARTNER named Bin Laden who will NEVER be captured even though we have satellites that can read his wristwatch from outer space! We’ll trot out a 2 minute “training video” of some turban wearing guys in tennis shoes running around in the desert with rifles, get our friends in the media to sell this whole bundle of horseshit to the American people….. Sam, I don’t have to tell you…. They’re pretty much brainwashed idiots, right? I mean, we’re talking about a bunch of people who ACTUALLY believe that 2 small fires can knock down a 47 story STEEL BUILDING! Thank God for THERMATE Sam, it cuts right through those 4-inch thick steel girders like a hot knife thru butter! Oh, and we’ll guard the cleanup site REAL GOOD, and prevent any real investigation into the matter of molten steel being found 5-6 WEEKS after the buildings fall…. Folks, don’t use KEROSENE (jet fuel) in your camp stoves, that shit’s DANGEROUS!

Ha ha ha…Whew, where was I…. Oh yeah, then we’re going to USE this event to VIRTUALLY ELIMINATE the civil liberties Americans take for granted with a DOCUMENT WE HAD PREPARED BEFORE 9/11 called the PATRIOT ACT.

We’re also going to take a page out of Germany’s history and establish a new government agency called the Office Of Fatherland…I mean Homeland…Security! The guy who eventually heads it will be an ISRAELI CITIZEN! (We DO have to give the impression of impartiality) They will issue terror alerts and scare the shit out of the public for a while…ORANGE ALERT! BOO! RED ALERT! BUY CIPRO!! Again, we have confidence in the STUPIDITY of the American people to not see thru this RUSE, which we will ABANDON after we feel it is no longer necessary. Are you getting all this?

Sam, we’re also going to INVADE and REMOVE a foreign leader from a sovereign nation, then LYNCH him, lie to the world about them having weapons of mass destruction, then USE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION OURSELVES on their civilians, women and children! Fun stuff like MK77 (Napalm), depleted Uranium ammunition and white phosphorous, or “Whisky Pete.” We don’t know how the radiation will affect our troops, but hey, we don’t care! Like Kissinger said: “Military men are dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy” We’ll let the American people foot the bill for their medical expenses! Oh, and we’ll be calling anyone who wants the same nuclear reactor generated electrical energy that The U.S. and Israel freely enjoy an AXIS OF EVIL, and anyone who opposes our new militaristic Fascism a TERRORIST! We’re fair like that!

Also Sam, we have plans in place to loot the treasury of trillions of dollars while we’re at it. Hell, BCCI was just a warmup to THIS deal we have planned!  We’ll overturn banking laws that enable predatory lending to take place, which will help push a real estate market bubble that will of course collapse, and our banker buddies will get bailed out by the taxpayers for their paper losses, and scoop up trillions of dollars in real estate in the bargain! We also plan to stand idly by as our Wall Street buddies sell packages of these junk loans around the world that have a completely BOGUS AAA rating, and just when everybody thinks the prosperity will never end, well…..we’ll end it, once again with the American taxpayer bailing out ONLY our rich Wall Street buddies while average Americans lose their homes and life savings! We call it the “New Deal For US, Not You.”

See Sam, the MAJORITY of Americans either believe whatever they see on that IDIOT BOX in their living rooms that is PROGRAMMED by the very people WE ENABLED THRU LEGISLATION to have these media monopolies, or are too busy/unconcerned/apathetic to care about the truth! We can persuade them to ridicule “conspiracy theories” as we peddle OUR OWN idiotic, unsubstantiated, covered-up, falsified, uninvestigated, evidence withheld and destroyed version!!! Plus, we are actively engaged in DIVIDING THE POPULACE on a daily basis….every “special interest” group is YET ANOTHER division in an ever more fractured electorate…. Pretty soon it will be just “Every Man For Himself.” African-Americans, Mexican Americans, Republicans, Democrats, the religious right, Gay-Americans, Feminists…. We love it!!! The more you all HATE EACH OTHER, the easier it is for us!!

Oh, and just in case this whole thing goes to shit Sam, we do have a backup plan. You know that government disaster relief agency that is mostly famous for letting people die, FEMA? They’ve gone and built a bunch of “Detention Centers” all across America, using taxpayer money! Most of these, well I guess we can just call them “Camps,” have railroad access and razor wire. Sound familiar?

In closing Sam, I would just like to say that Daddy’s little NWO plan is still alive and well, and I know I can count on the American people’s support in this “progressive” agenda, because they won’t do a fucking thing about ANY of it until the JAR LID is being screwed down on top of them and they’re running out of air!

That’s our plan in a nut’s shell Sam. God bless the United States of America…….they’re going to need it.

The Mandate: Savage Austerity While Inflation Skyrockets

I think it is pretty obvious what is about to occur in this country. The unconscious American public is about to embark on massive changes to their social structure and welfare. We have basically fallen into the prescribed “sides” of the issues they want us divided into and have swallowed the bait and the hook is set.

Us “lefties” and you “righties” (or vice versa, whichever side you think we belong will suffice, for in reality it all means nothing) will go to the polls next Tuesday and we will vote for the lesser of two evils (AGAIN). The Republicans have hijacked the Tea Party making it nothing more than the Corporate Republican scalawags and you people have totally dumped the ideology that made you attractive to real patriots who are trying to change the system. How you could allow it is beyond me, but you did it. You let those fools co-opt you into becoming the same old Corporately fed, Zionist fawning, Imperial backing Republican Party that Dr Paul speaks AGAINST (but sadly won’t leave, making him moot, as well).

Then we have that other side of “Socialists” (yeah, right) that back a Kenyan infiltrator (lol) who is nothing but an extension of the last asshole that held that position. You forgot all your bitches about illegal wars, about torture, about loss of liberty and have swallowed the Dem Party storyline of “at least we aren’t Bush” (even tho nothing of any substance has changed).

You people keep us in the never-ending ping-pong game of  lesser evils, all-the-while never figuring out that evil is evil. Period. I live amongst the most gullible lot of nincompoops, if this is the best you can do.

As for me, if and when I go into any voting booth, I will write in…

NONE OF THE ABOVE

…if confronted with an R or D choice.

Of course, the sycophants from the left will say, “But that is a vote for the Republicans” and the righty sycophants will say, “You are voting for a Democrat.” But that is what ignorant sycophants do. They conveniently forget how we got to where we are and that these fools they follow and idolize are simply two sides of the same tainted coin.

I haven’t forgotten:

I remember it vividly, whereas the sycophantic rightys can’t seem to muster two brain cells together to recall the 8 years previous to the latest disaster POTUS administration. For God’s sakes, you are flirting with that idiot, Newt. WTF? Have you no shame?

I am not endorsing the D’s by putting up that video. Like I said, I’ll not vote for either, ever again.

You see, I haven’t forgotten the lies the D’s told us all to get control of Congress and the POTUS-ship. I haven’t forgotten all the outrage of the wars from “the left” which mysteriously disappeared after electing your favorite PARTY CLOWNs. I haven’t forgotten how angry you were with illegal wars, but how quickly you embraced them when the Savior was elected. I haven’t forgotten your idols that bitched and moaned about our military forays in the ME, just to have them rally for the sanity of MORE war and murder.

You see, we are too far gone. There really is nothing more that someone like me can do to spread any sanity… to try to educate you as to what the hell you are getting US in to.

But I do want to make a prediction. I will predict that by your playing their games by their rules, you will give the Republicans a massive victory next week. Enough to change the majority makeup of the House. Not by much, but enough. Enough for what, you ask?

Enough for them to claim they have a mandate from the people of America.

This mandate will entail savage austerity, according to Zerohedge:

And, it is coming soon to America.

In the US, the intensity of the Austerity-For-Workers program will depend partially on the size of Republican gains in the November 2 mid-term elections. More seats going Republican—particularly the loss of the House—means more momentum for attacking working families’ social safety net.

What does this mean to poor rednecks, like myself? It means that IF you think you will get any Unemployment benefit extensions, forget it. Those 99%ers you have read about are about to become 24%ers or a bit more. How about that pension you acquired via hard work? How would you feel if the Gubment took it and reallocated it in Gubment (worthless) Bonds and “promised” you that you will get your money, but on their timeline? What if this austerity includes remaking the Social Security System, radically cutting benefits that are already far underfunded for normal life in America? What if that Medicare that you count on to keep you alive is stripped down to nothing? What if this austerity causes even more job losses in America and that we will NEVER recover the ones already lost?

We are about to embark upon the hardest times of your life (unless you are the mega-wealthy). Our elected officials are about to strip us of social programs that we count on and we will be left to fend for ourselves or die.

Charlie McGrath has one of the best run-downs of what is about to happen that I have seen. Well worth the watch, if you haven’t seen it yet:

Simultaneously, we are about to see inflation jump like never before. It is already happening, as I write this, but the real storm is a month or so away. As one example, College Tuition is going up again. But everything else will, as well. Especially food.

From CNBC:

Food Prices Expected To Rise Sharply

Corn is up 45 percent the last three months. We haven’t seen cotton prices this high since after the Civil War. Soybeans are up. Oil is up. Metals are up. So are coffee and cocoa.In this era of massive liquidity, everything is up, except for food prices—specifically processed food (made from many of the same commodities and other ingredients whose prices have risen).

According to the USDA, that is going to change. In its most recent CPI report for food, the USDA reported that prices are expected to rise in 2011.

For all food, prices are expected to rise two to three percent, which is double the levels of 2010. Meat prices are expected to rise up to 3.5 percent, and dairy 5.5 percent.

And it is a global phenomena (h/t Guardian UK):

Global food crisis forecast as prices reach record highs

Another warning is that crime is on the rise in America and will continue to do so as people get hungry. The Economic Collapse Blog has a list of 12 Statistics That Make You Wonder What Is Happening In America

#1 The murder rate in New York City has increased more than 15 percent in 2010, and the number of rapes has shot up from 943 in 2009 to 1075 so far this year.

#2 In the city of Detroit, crime has gotten so bad and the citizens are so frustrated by the lack of police assistance that they have resorted to forming their own organizations to fight back.  One group, known as “Detroit 300″, was formed after a 90-year-old woman on Detroit’s northwest side was brutally raped in August.

#3 Crime in Miami Beach was up almost 11 percent during the first half of 2010.

#4 The murder rate in Tempe, Arizona is now the highest it has been in 10 years.

#5 Shoplifting is completely and totally out of control.  According to the National Association of Shoplifting Prevention, every single day Americans steal more than $35 million worth of goods from retail stores.

#6 Today, there are approximately 400,00 registered sex offenders in the United States.

#7 U.S. authorities claim that there are now over 1 million members of criminal gangs operating inside the United States. According to federal statistics, these 1 million gang members are responsible for up to 80% of the violent crimes committed in the U.S. each year.

#8 The median age of the victims of imprisoned sex offenders in the United States is 13 years old.

#9 The crime rate in the San Diego school system is escalating out of control. The following is what San Diego School Police Chief Don Braun recently told the press about the current situation….

“Violent crime in schools has risen 31 percent. Property crime has risen 12 percent. Weapons violations (have gone up) almost 8 percent.”

#1053 percent of all investigated burglaries in the states of California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and Texas are perpetrated by illegal aliens.

#11 Law enforcement officials estimate that about 600,000 Americans and 65,000 Canadians are trading dirty child pictures online.  They also say that the total profit from creating and trading these images is approximately two to three billion dollars every year.

#12 Each year, one out of every five people in the U.S. is victimized by crime.  No other nation on the planet has a rate that is higher.

I also read from my home town weekly paper that a very small town in my home county has a Chief of police who is apologizing to residents over the weekly road blocks that they set up in town every Sunday (now becoming renowned for it). As I read thru the list of “arrests” it couldn’t be more clear what they are going after… weed smokers. The vast majority of the arrests were drug related and the biggest proportion, by far, was for marijuana. The fine for less than 1 ounce (1st offense in MS) is about $1,000. After everything is said, done and paid for, it might cost a person $1800 to handle it in court. Fine and dandy, except for the fact that it costs the country $2800 per case.

Not only are these people arresting young folks (ruining their lives) over a weed, they are losing money EVERY time they do it. And the tax payer yawns and scratches his hinder parts and turns on American Idol while sipping his illegal beer in that dry county.

Of course, nothing new on all the break ins and thefts. But never mind that. We stopped those hippies from smoking a little weed.

WTF?

Look. I know I am experiencing my own hardships (no job, no prospect for a job), but I can’t bury my head. No matter how hard it gets, I believe I will be able to take care of my family utilizing my network I have been setting up for a couple of years (you know who you are). I am not totally prepared, but I have most of what we need to survive. So, I am not just some crazy person freaked out over my own circumstances. This shit is real, people. It is happening right before our eyes and we better be ready for it when it comes… for IT IS COMING.

Let me share with you this list of 30 Reasons Why People Should Be Getting Really Nervous About The State of The U.S. Economy (again from the Economic Collapse blog):

#1 Corporate insiders are selling off stock at a blinding pace and are looking for the exits.  Alan Newman, the editor of the Crosscurrents newsletter, examined a number of the top performing stocks in the market including Google, Apple and Target and found that the ratio of corporate insider stock sold to corporate insider stock purchased over the last six months for those companies was 3,177 to 1.  At the group of firms that Newman looked at, corporate insiders had purchased 38,000 shares of stock over the last six months and yet had sold off over 120 million shares.

#2 Analysts at both Bank of America and Goldman Sachs both believe that the U.S. Federal Reserve is going to initiate a new round of quantitative easing in November.  It does not take a genius to figure out that this is very likely to push up inflation and have very serious consequences for the U.S. dollar.

#3 Economists at Goldman Sachs are projecting that the Fed will have to purchase at least $4 trillion in assets during this next round of quantitative easing to get the U.S. economy moving in a positive direction once again.

#4 In the United States today, there are 5,057 janitors with Ph.D.’s, other doctorates, or professional degrees.

#5 Investors have very little faith in the U.S. dollar (and in paper currencies in general) at this point.  Precious metals are soaring to obscene heights.  The price of gold has increased more than 20 percent in 2010.  The price of silver has skyrocketed about 40 percent this year.  These are not signs that indicate that the U.S. financial system is stable.

#6 Robin Griffiths, a technical strategist at Cazenove Capital, told CNBC on Monday that the U.S. dollar is in danger of becoming “toxic waste”.

#7 In the United States today, 317,000 waiters and waitresses have college degrees.

#8 U.S. lending institutions repossessed an all-time record total of 102,134 homes in the month of September.  That was the first time that home repossessions in the U.S. had ever exceeded the 100,000 mark during a single month.

#9 According to a Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller home price report that was released on Tuesday, single family home prices in the United States declined  for a second straight month in August.

#10 In the United States today, over 18,000 parking lot attendants have college degrees.

#11 During the months of August and September, the state of Nevada had an unemployment rate of 14.4 percent, which was the highest in the history of the state.  Not that the rest of the country is doing any better.  The state of California has become a complete and total economic disaster zone, and the city of Detroit, Michigan is literally dying.

#12 The “official” unemployment rate in the United States has been at nine and a half percent or above for 14 consecutive months.

#13 The number of people unemployed in the state of California is approximately equivalent to the populations of Nevada, New Hampshire and Vermont combined.

#14 According to the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, there are approximately 3 million more vacant housing units than usual in the United States.

#15 China has reduced the export quota on rare earth elements for the second half of 2010 by 72%, thus strengthening their position in the world economy even more.  Rare earth elements are absolutely crucial to the manufacture of a vast array of high technology products, and now even more of them will have to be made in China.

#16 In 1985, the U.S. trade deficit with China was 6 million dollarsfor the entire year.  In the month of August alone, the U.S. trade deficit with China was over 28 billion dollars.

#17 Wheat, corn and other staples are absolutely soaring in price on world markets.  These higher food prices are going to hit U.S. consumers hard.

#18 In 2007, 3 U.S. banks failed.  In 2008, 25 U.S. banks failed.  In 2009, 140 U.S. banks failed.  Last Friday, it was announced that 139 U.S. banks have failed so far this year and it is not even the end of October yet.

#19 Total student loan debt in the United States is climbing at a rate of approximately $2,853.88 per second.

#20 Back in 1980, the United States imported approximately 37 percent of  the oil that we use.  Now we import nearly 60 percent of the oil that we use.

#21 According to an analysis by the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation, the health care reform legislation that Congress didn’t read but passed into law anyway will generate $409.2 billion in additional taxes on the American people by the year 2019.

#22 Median household income in the U.S. declined from $51,726 in 2008 to $50,221 in 2009.  That was the second yearly decline in a row.

#23 One out of every six Americans is now enrolled in a government anti-poverty program, and yet the number of Americans signing up for food stamps and other social programs just continues to set new all-time records month after month after month.

#24 The number of Americans working part-time jobs “for economic reasons” is now the highest it has been in at least five decades.

#25 American 15-year-olds do not even rank in the top half of all advanced nations when it comes to math or science literacy.

#26 According to a recent poll conducted by CNBC, 92 percent of Americans believe that the performance of the U.S. economy is either “fair” or “poor”.

#27 After analyzing Congressional Budget Office data, Boston University economics professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff came to the conclusion that the U.S. government is now facing a “fiscal gap” of $202 trillion dollars.

#28 A trillion $10 bills, if they were taped end to end, would wrap around the earth more than 380 times.  That amount of money would still not be enough to pay off the U.S. national debt.

#29 According to the U.S. Treasury Department, the U.S. national debt is rapidly closing in on 14 trillion dollars and and will climb to an estimated $19.6 trillion by 2015.

#30 At our current pace, the Congressional Budget Office is projecting that U.S. government public debt will hit 716 percent of GDP by the year 2080.

You want to know what doesn’t stop? Military Spending and the expansion of the Empire. We got all the money in the world for murder and mayhem.

Happy Anniversary

And ya’ll didn’t think I would remember this day, did you?

I’m looking for change in the couch.

Waterboarding For Dumbasses Like Conservative09

Of course I mean REAL waterboarding, not the kind you get your daughter to perform on you with a water pistol. From The TimesOnline:

Waterboarding provides method of torture without a trace

Ben Macintyre

Cheap, simple, and horribly effective, waterboarding dates back at least to the Spanish Inquisition as a way of extracting information by instilling extreme fear and pain without leaving visible marks.

The torture has come by many names — “tormenta de toca” to the Spanish Inquisitors, “showering” in 19th-century prisons, and “water cure” in the 20th century — and has taken many forms.

The technique, however, has hardly varied in the past 500 years. Its intention is to simulate slow drowning and terrify the victim into a confession.

In most instances, water is poured over the face and into the breathing passages, usually on to a cloth or plastic wrapping, causing the victim to feel that they are on the point of suffocation and death.

Torturers at the time of the Spanish Inquisition, in search of heretics, were particularly keen on using the toca — referring to the cloth placed over the victim’s mouth — with its echoes of Christian baptism.

Agents of the Dutch East India Company used a variation of waterboarding during the Amboyna Massacre of 1623 when twenty people, including ten employed by the British East India Company, were tortured and murdered.

In that case the torturers “poured the water softly upon his head until the cloth was full, up to the mouth and nostrils, and somewhat higher, so that he could not draw breath but he must suck in all the water”. The case prompted outrage in Britain.

Many of the world’s nastiest regimes have resorted to waterboarding, including the Gestapo and Kempeitai (the Japanese military police) during the Second World War, the Khmer Rouge, and the Pinochet regime, where the method was known, with grim euphemism, as “Asian torture”.

One waterboard used under Pol Pot, a flat board on which the victim was strapped, remains on display at the genocide museum in Cambodia. But the use of waterboarding is by no means restricted to rogue regimes.

The practice was technically illegal during the Vietnam War, but in 1968 The Washington Post ran a photograph of an American soldier taking part in the waterboarding of a captured Vietcong fighter, and described the technique as “fairly common”. The image led to a military investigation and the soldier was court-martialled and dismissed.

The technique of “slow motion drowning” inflicts intense mental and physical suffering, and can cause severe long-term damage to the lungs and brain, but it leaves no obvious physical marks on the body. As well as being deniable, this form of torture may be inflicted repeatedly.

There is also no doubt that waterboarding works, to the extent that it producing confessions. Whether the information extracted is of any value is more doubtful. A person on the point of drowning may tell the truth, or simply what he thinks the torturer wants to hear to stop the ordeal.

America Does NOT Torture: Except When We Torture

The Prison Industrial Complex can be the sole or largest employer in a small community, so they provide jobs to guards. The local population complains little because the prison is the mainstay of the community (it is true of this community).

$40Billion per year budget + 2,000,000 prisoners = BIG MONEY

The fact is that torture is used within the walls of our jails and prisons daily. Not only that, but I have witnessed young men transform from rambunctious teenagers who were found with pot, into hardened criminals, even though they never did anything to harm a soul. I know one man a couple of years younger than me that had a problem with prescription pills. His dependency caused him to spend many years in jails and prison, and he is the meekest, nicest guy in the world who never hurt anyone and couldn’t get help with his addiction.

He is a three time loser who the local sheriff says is a waste of humanity. He wasn’t until the prisons got ahold of him.

Lab Rat- Waterboarding

And no, I ain’t talking about having your friends come over with cookies and pouring water over your face (without the rag and tying oneself to an inclined board). Conservative09 thinks that by allowing his 5 year old daughter to pour water on his face, he has experienced water boarding…Clueless chump.

The Lab Rat was prepped… training in Yoga and was ready to go 15 seconds. But the reality is that this IS torture (no matter what the man in the hood or any fool like Conservative09 says).

What these people don’t seem to understand is that torture can be nothing more than a mind game. It does not have to be physical pain or bringing blood, etc. But, in this case, I believe that it is, in fact, torture. Any rational person without a protectorate plan for the torturers would have to agree.

Let me ask a simple question regarding torture: If a person showed you a movie of your torturer (or anyone else for that matter) inflicting pain or killing your 5 year old daughter, would that be torture? It didn’t bring blood or pain to you, so it can’t be torture, right?

“Invoking an Existing Fear Of Drowning” is torture, you idiots, whether or not it “hurts”.

Conservative09 Says Mancow Is A Wuss And That Matthew Alexander Is An Idiot

The faux conservative who spouted off about having his waterboarding done at home (let me guess, your 5 year old poured the water) and has argued against torture, all-the-while regurgitating the right wing talking points as if they were true, must come to Jesus on the latest in a string of events that prove what a retarded asshole he is.

Here ya go, Conservative09. The truth of the subject, straight from the horse’s mouth. This should render yourself with zero credibility, but I see that you have no scruples or honor (just like all right-wing, lying scumbags), so I will guess that you still consider your view that waterboarding is not torture is the correct one (I suppose as long as Dickhead Cheney says it, you will be forced to agree).

You (and all those like you) are idiots.

Dick Cheney says that torturing detainees has saved American lives. That claim is patently false. Cheney’s torture policy was directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of American servicemen and women.

Matthew Alexander was the senior military interrogator for the task force that tracked down Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq and, at the time, a higher priority target than Osama bin Laden. Mr. Alexander has personally conducted hundreds of interrogations and supervised over a thousand of them.

“Torture does not save lives. Torture costs us lives,” Mr. Alexander said in an exclusive interview at Brave New Studios. “And the reason why is that our enemies use it, number one, as a recruiting tool…These same foreign fighters who came to Iraq to fight because of torture and abuse….literally cost us hundreds if not thousands of American lives.”
