Chump Change

I’m flipping it a bit. This ‘change’ isn’t monetary, at least not directly. I got a wild hair yestereven  about Michael The Savage Weiner, right wing bloviation unit, something I noticed 6 years ago. His demented fan base had ascribed … Continue reading

Double Standard Oil

So some political hacks in the U.S. Government have sounded the alarm that Russian investors have gained the largest block of shares in Citgo oil. So, why the whining? These are the same outfit who demanded for generations that Russians … Continue reading

I swear the dude is trying to lose.

Damn. Oh, sure he said the erection is ligged. Sorry. Couldn’t run from the pun. But he forgets conveniently that he’s one part of the rig. Make it look believable to the 99% that it was an honest vote. Today … Continue reading

Speaking of consumer protests…

Like the Buy Nothing Day.. On December 12th 2014 NPR aired its Wall Street Journal Report (and WSN is published by Fox which constantly bad-mouths and trash-talks NPR and would never run a full NPR news item) that American 99%ers … Continue reading

International StarWarz Day

May the 4th be with you… That started as an intellectual or at least nerd pun. The underlying fear slowly builds up. As does the deficit, the vast majority of which is subsidizing wars which in turn are a giveaway … Continue reading

The frequently cited St Paul Principles had their time and place: ST PAUL

In my circle they’re called “Saint Paul’s Principles” because my colleagues think the edicts are Catholic I guess. The St Paul Principles came from St Paul Minnesota, circa 2008, and were formally adopted by the varied groups organizing to disrupt … Continue reading

The Police- The ruling class’s army against our own US population

One of the most irritating parts of the Right Wing infiltration of the US Occupy Movement was their constant lecturing to other Occupy Movement participants that police should supposedly all be considered just another part of the ‘99%’. This was … Continue reading

How much does Occupy not believe in elections? Enough to boycott them?

Pundits, even friendlies, are infecting the Occupy Movement with direction-waylaying cynicism, so I’ll tell you what I think Occupy should do next. Never mind the usual grievances, leave those to existing advocacy groups, although they do benefit from Occu-proding obviously. … Continue reading

Vote another idiot Democratic Party liberal into office? Vote Norman Solomon? Why bother with this ‘lesser of two evil’ stupidity anymore?

Some people never seem to learn, and the barely liberal, Democratic party voter has got to be the dumbest, most stubborn mule in the world, in fact. As current example, the Vote Democratic Party- Norman Solomon Campaign is truly stalled … Continue reading

Denver April 28 War on Women march was a PRObama rally and we fell for it

DENVER- Isn’t there something distasteful about a gathering of Obama supporters who want to rail against “The War On Women” and permit no mention of his non metaphorical deadly engagements? Organizers complained bitterly about activist Rita Ague’s successful subversion of … Continue reading

US Economy is now a gigantic stagnant cesspool with turds floating at the top

Will the 99% Spring mean grassroots reinforcements for Occupy or MoveOn?

I’m going to think that the more mobilization of the 99% the better, no matter if it’s, ding-dong MoveOn Calling. The vast 99 are wise to the corporations and the corporate media, I think they’ll recognize when corporate organizers try … Continue reading

Visit Chicago for mirth and adventure

MoveOn wants to mobilize the world’s largest nonviolence movement, calling on the 99% to teach-in itself in time for their American Spring. That’s certain to sound more palatable to America’s unbaptized middle-roaders, than the invitation above, invoking the reception likely … Continue reading

The “War On Women” is a wedge issue
