THANKSGIVING would seem to commemorate misplaced thanks. Our thanks are not for the bounty of the New World, or for receiving aid from the indigenous peoples, or for being bequeathed stewardship over their gardens and farms, or God forbid for their joining us for supper. American white folk give thanks that the North American indigenous resistance quite unwisely didn't massacre our settlers to the last man and refute at least symbolically the European invasion of their continent. How many acts of turning the other cheek have been rewarded with a victor's treachery? It's become fashionable among environmentalists to think of mankind as a parasitic scourge soon to overrun the Earth its host, but that's only Western Man isn't it? Indigenous anarchist man has led a sustainable existence for longer than we celebrate our HAPPY history.

In the spirit of AIM, entrepreneurship and Our Father Who is Art, in the Intersection
One of the Idolatrous Statues downtown is of Gen Winfield Scott. The placard reads that he was an entrepreneur, a "self made" millionaire. Bullshit. I was wondering where I had heard the name before. He was the officer in charge of the Cherokee Removal. He got his money and his land grants at the point of the rifles and bayonets of the Publicly Paid Soldiers he commanded, same as the Horses Ass on the Horses Back in the middle of the intersection of Platte and Nevada. All their land and railroad wheeling and dealing was Subsidized Corporate Welfare and the point needs to be stressed more often. Especially as the Wall Street class warfare heats up and the Perpetual Whiners in the Ruling (for now) Class about how they worked hard to get control of the economy of the world grows ever louder and more shrill. The Warrior Class is drawn from the ranks of the Other Slaves. Those of the Pentagoons who think they "clawed their way to the top", the vast majority are like Robert E. Lee, who graduated West Point and nobody supposedly gave him any preferential treatment because his Grandpa was the first commandant. Or John McCain who supposedly got no preferential treatments just because his daddy was an Admiral. I recently witnessed the struggle of a young would-be cadet to get into the Air Force Academy, and despite having an exemplary scholastic record and a long family history of Military Service, was still denied entrance. The notion that you get into any of the Academies by your own merit is just another lie perpetrated by the "elite" who want the peasants to actually believe that they're better than the Peasants, thus more deserving of the riches and power bestowed on them, at Government Administered Taxpayer Expense. So it was with Generals Scott and Palmer. They were no more "Self Made" men than Paris Hilton or Jenna Bush.
The Afghanda…. U.S. Paternalism with a touch of Manifest Destiny.
President Obama made much glowing talk about all the "help" that "we're giving" Afghanistan, building roads for the use of "our" military transports, schools where "we" get to teach their kids to be Corporate Slaves just like the kids in Amerika. A centralized Police State government which is under "our" control. The wonderful security enjoyed by prisoners everywhere. Rescuing the Afghans from having to make decisions based on their needs rather than "our" corporate needs. But, of course, "we" didn't bomb them into rubble and then bomb the rubble and invade and control and kill any who "we" can't control for the Glowing Purpose Mr Obama praised so highly, to help the Afghan people in any way. It's been said by many politicians in America that "we" need to control commerce in the world, that "we" need to have a global economy under "our" management. Capitalism, it seems, isn't strong enough to stand alone, it requires Mandatory Participation by everybody, propped up by the expenditures of Government Money, obtained either through taxation of the citizens of the United States or, like in Iraq, Tribute Monies in the form of exclusive contracts for extraction of Oil and other resources. Already there are many Desk Pilots on Wall Street practically wetting themselves over the prospect of mineral riches in Afghanistan "paying for the liberation of those Resources errr People", yeah, that's the official story line, People. After all, if God hadn't intended for "us" to be their Masters and Rulers Liberators and Guardians, why would He have put "our" oil and other resources under their ground? And of course they're too stupid to be trusted with the majority or even a sizable minority of the profits to enrich their own people, no, they'll be given the same consideration "we" give other Puppet Dictatorship "citizens", a wage scale so low they'll never have the opportunity to compete with their Masters. The most cogent reasons given for invading err "liberating" Afghanistan were given over the decade preceding the takeover and are very stark, very honest. Very Brutal. In the documentation of the Project for the New American Century. Pure economic domination of the entire world. Tribute paid from all the world to the Mighty 1%, Economic Development directed by, and for the benefit of, Only The Wealthiest. Who believe that their wealth comes not from convincing other people to go and fight and kill in order to rob other people of THEIR OWN RESOURCES but somehow, it's their own industriousness. Those who wouldn't stoop to pick up a hundred dollar bill because it's chump change to them, demanding that the people of the world, including America, accept whatever slave wages they offer, in order to produce the wealth that only The Richest will share. Trickle Down "free market" Reaganomics at its naked core.
W.A.S.P. Triumphalism, Memorial Day and The Wingless Vultures
I swear the Territory Days Triumphalism celebration (Like the so-called "Islamic Triumphalism" rally around the world last September 11th, remember that? They were celebrating Eid, one of their holidays they celebrate every damn year using the same Lunar Calendar the Israelis use. It's like Famous Racist Jerkoff Mel Gibson if he would actually go so far as saying that Passover is Jewish Triumphalism for killing Jesus) is getting More Racist every year. Anyway, at Territory Days they're celebrating Custer, Kit Carson, Gen Palmer, Colonel Chivington... claiming once more that the Sand Creek Massacre was instead a necessary battle because the Cheyenne and Arapaho, who had a legal right to be there, were Threatening Being Bad Indians And Not Doing What Their Newly Self-Appointed White Overlords Told Them To Do. The White Overlords who didn't have a legal right to be there. They had separate treaties with the Ute chief Ouray to be in Colorado City and Denver, but not where downtown C.S. is now. Ouray, according to the Brochure the Modern Klan organizers of the event are passing around, was a "Good" Indian for honoring the treaties even though Chivington and later Palmer consistently refused to honor. And, the Military Recruiters are using all the massed White Supremacist Triumphalism AND Memorial Day to get more kids to join up and go fight the New Indian Wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, perhaps soon Iran and Pakistan...Libya, the Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, They're two-legged jackals, vultures without wings. They're chosen to be recruiters because they look pretty in their uniforms and can therefore sell the Pentagon Bullshit effectively. They even get paid annual bonuses for every twenty souls they broker selling them to The Beast. Using a memorial to the Dead to sell more people unto Death. My assessment runs from "Tacky" to "Full-on Evil". Some will disagree, of course. The difference between my free speech and theirs is that I don't threaten them with arrest or other forms of violence when they exercise theirs. Oh, and they rewarded Chief Ouray for honoring the treaties, by passing a law while he was still alive that effectively made it a death penalty offense to be Indian. It's probably still on the books. Forbidding anyone to possess the regalia or implements of a Medicine Man. The picture posted above says "ama-yetli de sdya da ni ludk, Ka no kwo 'uhwana hisd Tsalagi"
The Memorial Park Grenade and Drugs
The CS Fuzz Dept isn't squeaking very loudly about the grenade they found at Prospect Lake a couple of days ago. There's ways to make a booby trap from a hand grenade, take one and set it down, prop a rock onto it and set the rock on a small stick, so the rock will fall off if the stick is disturbed, lots of ways to make the stick fall out. Test the rig to make sure. assemble it and extract the safety pin then leave, and never go back. That doesn't seem to be the case with the Lake Grenade. But it's Apparently a U.S. Army hand grenade of which there are several types, standard enough in triggering style, weight and size of the device, many made by an Israeli based firm called LGB Ltd. The cops would have a database on who supplies them. NOW... Drugs. The numbers are numbers of deaths attributed to various causes., Tobacco 435,000, Diet/Lifestyle 365,000, Alcohol 75,000, Accidental exposure to toxins 55,000 ALL Illicit drugs, direct and indirect 17,000 Aspirin, Tylenol, Midol, Motrin 7000 Cannabis 0 Some results omitted, like prescription drugs. Homicide, Suicide and Gun Related deaths naturally overlap. But there's Innkeeper laws that hold bartenders responsible if they allow an intoxicated patron to drive away. There's homicide laws that hold the supplier of the drugs responsible if the product causes the death of a user. Charge would be Murder actually. Somebody building a home-made grenade or gun would be charged with various wordings of Making an Infernal Device. Manufacturers of small arms, hand grenades, rifles, pistols-Not liable. Tobacco manufacturers-not liable Fat Food Restaurants who encourage patrons to eat more calories in one meal than they need in a week, and discourage walk-up or Bicycle up Business (try riding a bicycle in the Drive Thru lane at McToxins, they'll call the pigs on you, and the Pigs will gladly serve their Corporate Masters) Not Liable. Prescription drug overdoses and accidental mis-dosing and toxicity, Bayer, Baxter, Abbott, Lilly, ... not liable. The manufacturer of the Prospect Lake Grenade... not liable. The corporations who put out the small arms also put out propaganda designed to provoke, incite and prolong wars, mass murder actually, yet they're not liable. Their Propaganda Protectors at (worst offender, there are others) Fox HateSpeech Networks make sure they get to sell their Death Products AND create the market for them, uninterrupted by any silly little old laws like Thou Shalt Not Kill. United States religious leaders can incite their followers to wars with impunity, tell their followers that the sixth commandment actually doesn't include wars or death penalty, Because They Say So and if you question their holy word you're an antichrist and a blasphemer. They tell their followers that if somebody dies while killing for them, in their Holy Crusade, that person goes immediately to Heaven to enjoy the blessings and adoration of God and all His host. Somebody saying a mirror image of that same statement AGAINST the "crusaders" is judged as a terrorist and can be (according
Bush on the lam from Switzerland!
Cancelled a planned appearance for fear of being arrested for Torture and other heinous crimes. Too bad the CSPD and prosecutor don't have the BALLS to file similar charges against the Über-VerBrecher and instead are giving him a Medal for being such an upstanding Christian Hero. Like Vlad Dracula. I wonder if they're going to serve Peasant under glass or merely fried Baby Nuggets? He's said to be extremely partial to baby roasted in Napalm or White Phosphorus ...
2 AM, time to piss off the Navy.
So this is the USN "crackerjack" work uniform blouse, from behind. Notice the two stars on a broad field of blue. That's, according to my brother the Sailor, symbolic. The stars stand for the two times the USN fought the Royal Navy, and won. The extra large field is to make room for more stars as needed. A wonderful imperial gesture, yes? "We are mighty, you shall obey us!" Then there's BP. Which was founded as an adjunct to the Royal Navy and had the Royal Navy and even the U.S. Navy fight to secure their supply sources, which, surprise surprise surprise, none of which are actually in England. The propaganda bit they put out when they helped launch World War One, "That small nations might have the same rights as the Great Powers..." purest bullshit. Then as now, it was all about the Rich getting richer and using the blood and labor of the poor to do it. The kicker of it came down this past spring... when British Petroleum, that ol' devilish offshoot of the British Royal Navy, Bitch-slapped the U.S. Navy in American territorial waters. Guess you kids in Uncle Sams Canoe Club should take those stars off? May God have mercy on the next nation who is so unfortunate to discover that they, too, have United States and British oil buried under their sands. They'll be reduced to puppet dictatorships like Iraq and Kuwait and Nigeria and Ghana and Texas and Colorado have. There will be a top social layer of Kiss-Ass Experts like al Maliki and a vast underclass who will either be slaves to the Korporatisch Imperium or hunted, and their children as well, for the "crime" of being insurgents and resisting the Mighty United States and British Military. They'll be "free" do obey, conform, comply.
TSA and Pentagoons play same lame blame game
TSA of course saying that people being angry about their Neo-Gestapo (betcha thought I was gonna say "nazi" huh?) thug tactics would cause delays. And not their Thuggish heavy-handed State-Sponsored Terrorism. The people, you see, have no right to resent being treated as criminals with no evidence. Guilty until proven innocent. Then blame anybody who acts any way non-docile or non-subservient for the punishment THEY, the Gesta errrr... Noble Defenders of freedom CHOOSE to inflict on other people. There's a counter-terrorism standard employed and enjoyed by every dictatorship, including the U.S. Military "free" puppet governments, (not just the Nazis, although they're the ones most famous for it) where they would round up local civilians in areas where a "terrorist" attack had occurred and simply execute some of them, and made sure to tell the survivors to blame it on the actions of the Resistance Fighters. That's the TSA tactic. Also, the Pentagon/State Department Gesta tactic for dealing with Wikileaks. Kill the messenger. Never mind that it's not the REVELATION of their many murders and miscellaneous misdemeanors, mayhem and malicious malfeasance that's caused their shared TSA/DoD/DoS/DoJ problems. It's the actual commission of their multiple misdeeds that caused the problem. If they didn't want the name surely it would have been easier to avoid that by not playing the game. The best way to avoid gaining an undesirable reputation as a Babykiller is simply not actually killing babies. That way you can point out, hey, no actual dead babies, no babykilling. But a bunch of dead babies and other Former Humans chewed to pieces by the weapons of ones Armed Forces is bound to rouse suspicions.
Pullout from Afghanistan? not for another 3 years..
BBC had a story "An hour away from Kabul, despair grows as NATO discusses exit..." Meaning, the BBC is required to report that the war is a positive thing for Afghan people so they focus on government officials who got their jobs handed to them by the American and British Conquerors and Occupiers errr "liberators and nation builders" and will, justifiably, have their heads handed to them by people who had friends and family (anybody in Afghanistan) Murdered, raped, imprisoned and tortured by the NATO Occupation forces. And the reader/listener is supposed to take pity on these poor, sad, wretched pathetic Traitors who sold their own people to the invaders as a means of gaining Puppet Local Dictator status. Awwwwww.... Shed a fake tear with me, Glenn Beck showed us how, put Vicks Vapo-Rub under your eyes... On the other hand, if 3 more years of the Mightiest Empire on earth wouldn't be enough time to build up a sense of safety in the Karzhai Puppet Regime, how long WOULD it take? Analysts who aren't in the pay of the Pentagon say there's no way, and that if the occupation succeeds it could only be by being Permanent. Finally, in other news, Oceania has ALWAYS been at war with Eastasia.
Piñon Canyon slowly being conquered by Imperialists
It's not just apparent, it's Elephant-in-the-parlor obvious that the Pentagon assumes they own not only every square centimeter of Foreign lands conquered by their Legion of Doom Imperial Stormtroopers. Every square centimeter in America too. Ed has put together a short collection of videos pointing up the planned assault on Americans by American Military, something that wasn't available a century and a half ago when the Imperial Storm Troopers wore blue uniforms with yellow stripes on the legs and rode horses as they murdered Americans to take the land. The first I'm posting, actually the middle of the series, he takes the "fightin' words" the TeaBag racist scum use. Points out that the Tea Potty really doesn't defend the rights and freedoms of Individual Citizens, rather, they defend the Privileges of Corporate "citizens". If the ranches in Piñon Canyon were owned by Halliburton, maybe? And The prequel to the one above this. And And the last of the series, in its proper order. Why haven't the Tea-Bags, ever so ready to protest the "unconstitutional confiscation" of the sole privilege of providing Health Care from the Private Sector, meaning: No Medicaid, No Medicare, No CHAMPUS, No CHAMPVA... NOTHING but "If you're poor and can't afford health care, then F.O.A.D." similarly protested the confiscation of private land by the Biggest part of the "Big Government" they so vehemently denounce, the Military and Police State apparati? Some of the whiners bitch, piss and moan if you use "obscene" words, by their definition, to describe what they do to us, so the first part of that acronym,"F.O.A.D." the word "fuck" has to be unwritten, and you have to guess that from the rest of it, "Off And Die". See, they can do it to us, royally and consistently, but we're not allowed to use the word "fuck" to describe them fucking us like that. We're also not allowed, you know, to point out the vast similarities between their party and the Nazi and Fascist parties, but, hey, Momma always said, Nazi Brownshirt Stormtrooper is as Fascist Blackshirt Stormtrooper does". If they ever get off their High-pocritical Horse about being called names that adequately describe their actions and policies, that would be a step toward regaining any respect they once enjoyed.
How come Pottery Barn rules don’t apply to Haiti?
When Tony posted nearly three years ago (!) about how shocking conditions in Haiti had become, it was a magnet for people saying the starving kids pictures (from Medicins sans frontiers, internationally respected medical aid agency, just not so much here in America) were recycled pictures from Ethiopia 3, 2 and one decade ago. Then when that was refuted, and before they raised that Stupid Response again, the people of Haiti were blamed for their own misfortunes. As though their LEADERS had actually been empowered by popular vote instead of installed, against the expressed will of the People, by and for the profit of American Corporate Hegemony. Alternating with French Hegemony until the AmeriCorp bought out the French. We broke it, we supposedly bought it, right? That's the one of the irRationale for staying in Iraq and Afghanistan. (rationale is both plural and single, I checked, you didn't, kiss off) Of course, it's not the American Corporations who are Paying the bills "we" ran up by breaking all the pottery, although they seem to be getting quite a lot of public funding to manipulate the Public Army and the Public intelligence community and the public "rebuilding" campaign, which mostly consists of taking very expensive videos and photographs of Other People moving the shards around. Much the same way they're paid to watch and take pictures while other people bury the Dead "shards" in Haiti. Through public funding for their private "efforts". Some have seen fit to criticize my frequent use of Capitalization and italics and bold type and ComBinatiOns Of tHem but some people need a little help finding juicy nuggets amidst the kibble. Both are Nourishing Mind Food but the juicy bits are more fun. Sometimes. Some of the people have difficulty seeing, which is a condition with which I can easily relate. Others are just kind of inured to reading and hearing Bullshit from the likes of Glenn Beck and need a little help finding emphasis in NORMAL thoughts. It's not that Glenn Beck is mentally defective, it's what he's paid to say, in the Corporate anticipation of the Audience being mentally defective. In a way, though, the situation in Ethiopia and Haiti is the same case, revisited. "Conservative" (their own code word for Racist Right Wing Extremists) Pundits insist that black people are incapable of governing themselves so it's up to the Great White Father in Washington to guide and assist and let's face it, outright Rule Over the poor little darkie savages. But Ethiopia has for several occasions been the richest nation on earth and in cumulative time they managed to do it for longer than the Americas have actually experienced European Rule. Intermittently because the times Ethiopia has been devastatingly poor have been periods of colonial rule. Like the Romans exacting tribute from them, and in the past couple of centuries European and European-American Corporate Rule turning Their nation into Our plantation. Same with Haiti. When the U.S. went to war with Hawaii and deposed their "tyrannical"
Say it ain’t so…
Oh my. There's been an acknowledgment from the Pentagoons that the Police units of the U.S. Army didn't investigate abuses by Iraqi troops, even when there was plenty of reliable evidence and complaints made. DUH! 7 1/2 years and they get around to figuring that out. Maybe in another couple of decades they'll figure out that the WMDs were never there and that U.S. troops did quite a lot of murder and torture too.So it wasn't a voluntary admission on their part. The Pentagoons are screaming that revelations of their illegal and vicious activities will cause violent retribution. As_Opposed_to_The activities themselves causing retribution for those activities. What's really amazing, the PIGS who do these things and their socially retarded supporters, have their motto displayed prominently that "If you break the commandment, then somebody else should keep the commandment" or variants thereof. What, does not your version of Christian and Jewish values have the built-in What Goes Around Comes Back Around? As thou sowest so also shalt thou reap? The Iraqi people already KNOW that Fallujah was a senseless massacre where the majority of the dead wouldn't possibly be defined as combatants. They already KNOW that the "Operation Iraqi Freedom" meant having the Old Boss violently exchanged for the New Boss, "freedom" to do as your told, quietly and subserviently, or the Storm Troopers of the New Boss will simply kill you, if you're unlucky, and imprison and torture you and your family if you're slightly more unlucky. And THEN kill you once the Perverts who run the prisons feel there's no more erotic sport they can have from torturing you and turn to fresher victims. The ones who had ALREADY been given ample reason to hate the smug, smirking "liberators" and their demands that the newly conquered peasants in the newly conquered provinces lick their fucking PIG jackboots, they already know the details of what life is like under the U.S. Army Dictatorship. So where does the added danger come in? It comes from people who meekly accepted the LYING notions that either the United States Military could never possibly do any wrong or if they did it was for a good cause. Hillary Clinton echoes the Pentagon Bullshit about "How Dare You Put These Lives In Danger!" Whose lives? The MURDERERS and Torturers and their "civilian" Iraqi and Afghan collaborators. The "Civilian" government forces of the Puppet Governments in Iraq and Afghanistan, who wear uniforms, carry guns and help the "Coalition" force Own People into slavery. A cop in any country isn't a "civilian", he's an armed officer of whatever King he serves. A soldier who is employed and sworn and paid to keep people from rejecting the rule of the King. Calling the Kingdom a Republic or a Democracy is even less honest than calling the Pigs "civilians". A cop in an Occupied Nation is merely an armed puppet of the Conquering Army. Paid to keep his own people on their knees in service to the conquerors. Not a "Civilian". To say otherwise is
Dial-a-BabyKiller service offered by Craigslist
Actually, it was a post offering Body Armor published against C.L. rules (weapons are supposedly prohibited, and according to the Pig Establishment, body armor is an offensive weapon if used by a non-Police criminal, as opposed to the Criminals who make up the Pig Establishment) said he had been a Contractor (Probably a jail guard at one of the Torture errr... "Detention" Centers) aka Mercenary Baby Killer in Iraq. Let's make this abundantly clear, the ones who provide the Support for the Baby-Killing machine are every bit as guilty as the Terroristic Thugs who kick down peoples doors and murder them in their own homes for refusing, at least allegedly, to bow down and worship the U.S. Occupation with much bootlicking and ass-kissing. And every bit as guilty of Torture as the Perverted Uniformed Sex-offenders who run the Torture errr... "Enhanced Interrogation and detention centers". Every Contractor is just as guilty as the Blackwater Goons and the Wackenhut Goons who get their sexual giggles from directing violence against people. The Blackwater and Wackenhut goons get SEXUALLY turned on by Killing Babies and, in my opinion, so does every Cop in the world. And this one, before his posting got flagged, left his Phone Number. This apparently happens a lot. The Arrogant Pig Sons-of-Whores leave a trail whereby Resistance Fighters can trace their Cowardly Bitch Asses. I was going to publish the Puke-ass PIGS phone number but he got flagged too quickly, by the time I thought of publishing, it was gone. Who knows, though, the Retarded Pig might have put it back up. The Right Wing Extremist "Keyboard warriors" will flag down any comment even in the Rants and Raves comment section which criticizes their Patron Racist Saints like Limbaugh or Beck or Palin, but leave up posts screaming that "Niggers, Fags, Mexicans, Ay-rabs, Liberals" etc.. should be rounded up and at least imprisoned. Nazi shit like that stays up, criticism of their Bitch-Masters gets flagged. But here's a little thought, goad some of the stupider ones to actually reply to your comments with a threatening e-mail filled with violent fantasies on their part, misspelled words, curses, Death Threats against you and your entire family... IDENTIFYING INFORMATION TO BUILD A DATABASE OF SOME OF THE WEAKER LINKS IN THEIR FASCIST RACIST ORGANIZATIONS like the Minutemen and TeaBags and other extremist terrorists Stupid bastards love the thought of being anonymous, because they can make themselves into Superhero-status Terrorists on the Level of Osama-been-deceased-for-8-years, rather than pathetic 30 year old chickenhawks who live (hide) in their moms' basements.
So-called Free Market Capitalism doesn’t pay its bills
It instead leeches off Tax-supported Publicly paid enterprises like the Army and Police agencies, not coincidentally the only agencies they want to be continued to have Public Funding...Allow the wealthiest to not pay taxes on money they obtained through blatantly aggressive Government Interventions in the so-called "free" markets by using publicly funded Soldiers to take over any of the competing trade partnerships aka "Sovereign Nations" by extreme violence or the threat thereof. The Ayn Rand worshipers wouldn't be able to obtain the agricultural and mineral riches of MesoAmerica by their own machinations, even were they willing (unlike the huge majority of their favorite Mouthpieces like Reagan, Bush, John Wayne, Limbaugh, Coulter, Malkin, O'Reilly, Beck etc ... chickenhawks on parade) to use their OWN physical presence and risk their OWN worthless parasitic lives to do so. Their "superior" Invisible Hand of the "free" market wasn't in any way capable to take over even ONE nation, even the Stone-age technology nations they much more than decimated (decimated means taking only ten percent off, and the slaughter left alive more like 7%, more than NINE TIMES mere decimation) first through disease and then through violence using "superior" technologies against, again, Stone Age peoples. The Pilgrims and Puritans they worship as being Godlike Beings had Publicly Funded armies and navies behind them when they conquered the Northeastern U.S., not exactly Daniel Boone Striding Alone Into The Wilderness... (he was slightly more than a century later and even he, brave though he might have been, had the British Army backing him up. Even if they weren't sharing his camp) All that Publicly funded conquest is the basis for American Wealth but even the Rich White-boy so-called "Founding Fathers" weren't willing to pay the rent on the Soldiers and Equipment used to gain their financial base. They're not willing to pay the workers and even their own Corporate Partners who provide the construction and maintenance of the infrastructure, dams, water treatment, roads, that they would need to continue gaining their wealth. With "no new taxes" but plenty of new construction, at Public Expense and the most immediate benefit from that construction going to the "no taxes" manipulators and their mouthpieces like Doug Bruce and Tom Tancredo they say, literally, "We want you to sell us your labor, and your materiel, for a minuscule fraction of what it costs you to produce it, and if you don't give us what we want we'll have the Publicly Paid tax-supported Army and Police force you to comply, just like they did and still do in all the other Conquered Territories which pay THEIR tributes into our 'free' Market system" They're treating American workers the way they've treated the forced-labor of every "lesser" economy in the World, again, using the Fascist "freedom fighters" in the Police and Military, private and public to force us to comply the same way the "Operation Iraqi Freedom" PIGS force the Iraqi people to comply with their Corporate Whore-lords. Again, just like the Tea-Bag and other Right Wing Terrorist Extremists,
AP (Arrogant Propaganda) Reports 6 Militants killed by drone
Aside from the fact that the Drone is a remote controlled robot manipulated by a True Coward sitting in an air-conditioned hopped up Video Arcade but NOT aside from the fact that the Drone, its operator and few hundred thousands of their Comrades are invading occupiers in the country of which the "militants" are citizens.. And they get the definition of "Militant" by refusing to bow down and Kiss the Boots of the Invaders and Conquerors. Way to Go, Air Force Imperial Storm Troopers including the Virtual StormTrooper by Proxy sitting at his computer murdering people with a click of the mouse.. That's the way to teach those "cowardly" Terrorists not to resist the Leadership and Mastery of your Brave, Noble and above all Righteous Empire! Grovel in the name of Freedom or be vaporized! Give the people the Ultimate Freedom, the absolute right to Obey What Their Masters Tell Them!
Freedom & duress NOT the same thing
A gentleman wrote earlier that Ireland signed a paper partitioning the Nation, and likewise, Scotland and Ireland had signed papers joining their people to the United Kingdom. And that therefore Scots and Irish Separatists are breaking a treaty and how very dare they do so, it's dishonorable etc. He was too busy reviling me personally to revile them but that is the gist of his words. What wasn't mentioned was that in either treaty the People of Ireland and the People of Scotland weren't consulted. The "Lords" whose ancestors were in turn appointed and ennobled by the British Crown during prior invasions and occupations, signed the papers, and that at the point of gun and sword. Not by the people nor by their elected officials. This was in comparison, by the way, to the Conquest and Occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. It's like an armed robbery on a massive scale. I mean, IF I were ever to want to control people, I'd not last very long at the enterprise mostly because anybody I could get to assist me in doing so would be under coercion. I could, theoretically, walk into a 7-Eleven or a Liquor store with an Uzi, and demand that the proprietor surrender to my will, do as I say, and that he promise to cooperate with my Armed Might, my one-man "Army of One" submachine gun, and provide me with as much of the goods and money in his store as I could carry away. In an enterprise using an Army of MANY the logistics of the actions are more complex but the concept, the germ, the Basic Foundation of those actions would be Exactly The Same. To go back to the Store Owner v. Probably Deranged Person w/Submachine Gun parable, if the person with the gun leaves the store, would the Store Owner be breaking some sort of Treaty to immediately call for help? If the gunman were, in the middle of the "treaty" to turn his attention and the Shopkeeper took the opportunity to disarm the gunman and perhaps kill the gunman, would the Shopkeeper be a "terrorist" or an "insurgent" or "unlawful combatant"? If the gunman has a Gang of similar thugs with him, and the shopkeeper captures and disarms one or more of them, and holds a gun to their heads and demands the other Gunmen cease their robbery and threats of further violence, would that be a Terrorist Insurgent taking hostages, a Despicable act of Cowardice? But that's what the British and American Warmongers insist the "shopkeeper" of Iraq, and Afghanistan, and the Irish PEOPLE and Scots PEOPLE do or should have done. Negotiate only with the Representatives of the people who were appointed to that position by the Conquering Invaders? What kind of a Farce is that? The Conquerors of Iraq and Afghanistan have no more right to demand the abject surrender of the people of those nations than the British Crown did with Scotland and Ireland, indeed, the "Nobles" with whom the English Crown negotiated the treaties,
Kidnap and Torture… Corporate Failure in Mexico…
Man is kidnapped in front of his wife, taken to a secret prison and tortured for 7 months... government stonewalling, ...CIA? According to the Propaganda, Narco Gangs in Mexico. The way the story is slanted, the Mexican Federal Government is a "failed state" and the country is run by Terrorists. Like, yeah... Ford Motors, Coca-Cola, Baxter Pharmaceuticals.. oh, not THOSE Terrorists. So are "we" going to mount Operation Mexican Freedom? Go in and occupy their country, set up a(nother) Puppet government backed by Run By U.S. troops? Maybe set up arbitrary checkpoints to limit the travel of the native population... We already did. 165 years ago, to a third of the land area of their country, set up arbitrary boundary lines which they can only cross with the Royal Permission of the U.S. Government. Knocked the Mexican Republic, the parts "our" Corporate Government didn't outright Conquer errr.. "Liberate", down to a shadow state run by the French, aka Holy Roman Empire. Then sent American troops whenever the Mexican people rebelled against this setup. When the "Outlaw Regime" of Pancho Villa finally threw off Foreign Ownership and Natoinalized eerrrr "Stole" the Lawfully Conquered holdings of the Foreign Overlords, first he was assassinated (but not by an American or a paid agent of American corporate interests, no, everyone KNOWS that Americans don't commit crimes like that) and the U.S. Government waged Economic Warfare against the Parti Revolucionaria Institucional. Finally restored Corporate Dictatorship with the American financed and run Parti Action Nacional, under the Puppet Dictators Vicente Fox and now Calderon. So now what? Will they blame PRI and it's partisans for the unrest, instead of the Corporate Thieves who have now taken away everything that the PEOPLE of Mexico officially owned? Certainly it can't possibly be blamed on the almost 8 decades of unrelenting American Corporate attacks on the economy and by proxy the People of Mexico. Because that would be an admission that the Almighty Capitalism has failed. Can't have that, now, can we?
All your women are belong to us
AYBABTU variant: All Your Babes Are Belong To Us. In ancient days when kingdoms conquered each other, the winners would slaughter the vanquished males and keep the females for themselves, to augment their own number. Warring cannibals still do the same when they raid rival villages. They kill the men, eat them to acquire their power, and take the girls for brides or for slave labor. It would seem tribal prejudices aren't entrenched when it comes to another culture’s women. Is this because foreign females are less threatening, or because coveting another's spouse transcends bigotry? Westerners fantasize that Native Americans raided the pioneer settlements to take captive the white women on account of their white beauty. I doubt it. Women are smaller than men and can be dominated, wives and laborers being more or less the same thing. Western society seems preoccupied to fetishistic extremes with the safety of its white women, while negligent about the fate of those of darker skin. But does that mean we are not interested in non-white women? Of course not. The recent focus on trying to introduce western education into Islamic cultures is strategically targeting young Muslim girls. It seems altruistic, but follows the usual pattern of male-mankind’s predatory nature. Naturally the benefits of separating girls from their communities serves the need of human traffickers, for the sex trade but to a much bigger degree, all industrial applications. Look at the Maquiladoras on the Mexican border, where US manufacturers have relocated to exploit cheap Mexican labor without having to ship products too much further to reach American consumers. Look into those factories, they are full of women. Look at the sweat shops in our port cities, where non-citizens labor undocumented -or falsely documented- they’re women. The work camps set up in the US territories to skirt our labor laws and duck import tariffs are also full of women. Indeed clothing mills and electronics factories across the globe are staffed predominantly with women. Men are left with the construction, transportation and extraction industries, the labor issues of which affect the industrialist bottom line not the least. We may guard our white women closely, feigning paternal self-interest, but we’re after all women, for the traditional role of indentured servitude.
