Another FOX brainwash session

They’re reporting the mine collapse in China as being a failure of the Communist economic system, and just not pointing out that it’s CAPITALIST deregulation that caused it, just like the mine collapses in New Zealand, Chile, Peru, West Virginia…. and the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf Oil spill Massive Petroleum Hemorrhage were caused by the POP principle. Profits Over People. The difference is that in China the Death Penalty applies to murder by Corporation.
The CEO of the Chinese mine is likely to become an unwilling organ donor. Don L Blankenship, the Retired CEO of Massey Energy, who created 29 job openings with one (predictable AND predicted) reaction to defiance of existing regulations, will continue to be a multi-millionaire and will continue to donate to Right Wing Causes like, loosening regulations even further… so he can KILL more miners, Oil workers, factory workers, construction workers, farm workers, unlike himself REAL workers, and feast on the proceeds of their life and death.
Those who like myself are merely crippled by their policies will be discarded, jailed, treated as psychotics and criminals and, if the plans of Blankenship and his allies, and their political appointees, to buy the entire governance of the world for their own profit, if those plans come to fruit then I and ever other like me will also die of our injuries.
It’s a big issue in the Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Main Street movement. The Chinese had an epiphany more than a century ago when the Emperor Pu Yi demonstrated his willingness to sell China to the same Corporate Interests who are running Wall Street and Washington DC and Denver and Colorado Springs today.
And FOX News celebrates and promotes Corporate Fascism and promotes Blankenship as a Hero.

Recap: Don Blankenship, Political Donor, Chinese Mine Owner following his Political “leadership”: Organ Donor.

That Blankenship, Massey Energy, British Petroleum etc are directly subsidized in every aspect of their attainment of riches, from acquiring the “rights” to mine or drill in any land mass or ocean of their choice through TAXPAYER funded Military Action, and the police and courts shielding the Rich from the consequences of their MURDERS and thefts, is nothing short of Fascism in every classic definition of the term. Their use of the Tea Party and Minutemen as Brownshirt (Germany) or Blackshirt (Spain, Portugal, Italy, France) Stormtrooper Militia seals the definition tightly onto their foreheads. The Security Chief at Upper Big Branch was recently “sacrificed” by Great Big Hero Blankenship and his pals, even though he, like Hermann Goehring and Josef Goebels and Heinrich Himmler, was “only following orders”.

Yeah, I DID compare Corporate Amerika to the Nazis. Bite me.
That and I pointed out the TeaParty, Fox News, and the Minutemen as being Nazi oriented if not directly affiliated.

A thuggish murder of Queen’s English

Christine O’Donnell is being audited on her campaign spending, as well she should. She made a devil’s deal, sold the remaining fragments of her soul on a bet that she could become a Congress-critter. The Korporate Kampaign-fund Kartel fronted her undisclosed amounts of bread. But she didn’t follow their rules. There’s a quotation from Shakespeare, from the funeral of Falstaff “this huge hill of flesh, this breaker of horses backs, … he was never, yet, a breaker of promises, he will give the devil his due.” She’s not given the devil his due. Devil says, look, all you have to do is occasionally chant “9-11!” or “Tax and Spend Liberals” and we’ll do the rest, for lack-of-gods-sake don’t try to write your own speeches or ad lib anything, because you’re a moron.” Did she listen? No, she did NOT listen. There’s another quotation from a drill sergeant, “it’s impossible for the ears and the mouth to work at the same time, you’re either listening or running your head.”

Woman couldn’t possibly shut the hell up long enough to listen. So, now she’s being audited on her spending. And says it’s Thug Tactics

This from a woman who is paired up with a party that has as a big plank in its platform “English Only”. As in using government power and other publicly owned resources to compel people to only speak English in public places, commerce, and in the wildest dreams of the Extremists who are pushing it, in private conversations in the home. (Because supposedly raising a child in a multilingual environment (even though people who actually study linguistics say otherwise) have difficulty learning the English language in school.)

Now, English is my first language. I’m not an accomplished Linguist yet, that takes fluency in at least 5 languages. But I am adept in English. And I can positively say that the Tea Party, of whom Ms O’Donnell is a member, really don’t speak English. They rail against Public Education for a reason, several more sinister reasons but the one I laugh about the most is because they don’t want Public School elementary students outshining their own Hoam Skewel and Private Academy students.

And they’re not really good at speaking English. Or writing English. Before the squealing whines of “Elitism!” come cascading from the Far Right, I should point out that it’s THEIR elitist notion that teaching and learning and speaking and writing Only One Language is somehow superior to being able to speak and read and write several.

Because the English language, and the English RACE, are ever so superior to the Peasants who make up the rest of the world.

Now, Thug, Thuggish, Thuggery, all stem from not an English word but an Urdu word, for a cult in India and Pakistan who sacrifice randomly selected people to their gods.

Investigations into ones financial malfeasance (alleged) aren’t “thug tactics”.

Let’s see if, in the interest of education, we can provide Ms O’Donnell and her Demented Demonic Disciples with a few examples of Thug-like behavior, Strangling victims from behind in the crowded marketplaces of the Indus Valley.

Ok, so that’s pretty specific, there are some other behaviors that have taken on the name Thug Tactics

Let’s see now, how about a politician being asked questions about who is financing that politician and the political party represented thereby, Not Thug Tactics. When the supporters of that politician seize the questioner, hold her down and stomp on her face… THUGS.

The customary way of describing the incident, not ordered by Ms O’Donnell but by her close friend and fellow Tea Party THUG Rand Paul, was that it was a three-on-one assault. That fails to take into account the large crowd of Other Tea Party THUGS who were standing around making sure nobody interrupted their comrades’ fun.

Fellow Tea-Party “rock star” Don Blankenship using hired goons to back him up, as he assaulted a reporter asking (still unresolved) questions about his MURDER of 29 coal miners through maintaining an unsafe work environment. Or, as he probably chuckles to his accomplices “created 29 job openings” ha ha ha…

THUG tactics. But then, mine operators have a very long history of using Thug Tactics and hired goon squads to “negotiate” with workers. Nothing to see, citizen, keep moving, nothing to see…

Sarah Palin, fellow “rock star” of the Thug Party errr I mean “Tea” Party, yeah, that’s the ticket…

Stands on a stage telling her Demented Disciples “don’t sit down and don’t shut up!” and simultaneously having Publicly Funded Police Goon Squads violently drag people out of Her Royal Presence for daring to not sit down nor to shut up.

THUG TACTICS.

Since apparently Ms O’Donnell actually DID piss away her Masters’ money, yeah, she needs to be audited on it. So do her Masters. And the rest of the Political Prostitutes who took their money.

“Clean” Coal on defensive, downplaying REAL Clean power

Leave a reply

So they’re spending a few hundred million nationwide promoting their bid for MORE unsupervised unregulated Mountaintop Removal Coal (and other minerals) Extraction, with the accompanying subsidies they’ll get if WHEN the Tame Departments of Interior, Defense and Energy and the even Tamer Congress grant them the Official Clean Energy Okey-Dokey. They downplay wind and solar as not being viable (“the sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow“) AND claim that even when they’re used they’ll “need” to Strip Mine and destroy the environment for the metals. Which is bullshit on several levels, there’s far more recyclable metals ready for harvest than can be gotten from any level of mining in the conceivable future. One Industry LIE down the tubes. With Solar and Wind producing their PEAK output at the same times of day that the PEAK demand is, there isn’t actually any need to build MORE coal power plants or start new strip mines. AND the production of Wind and Solar is going up even with a tiny fraction of a percentage of the Public Subsidies that the Coal, Oil and Gas industries have enjoyed for more than a century. Almost a century and a half.

The Railroad Act, the Public Utilities Act, to name a couple. Military and civil grants to develop technologies specifically to use the products they’re first stealing and then selling. To their own Publicly Subsidized utility companies. And having the Military simply TAKE any coal, oil and gas that’s not offered at a price the Oil and Gas and Coal companies demand. The Police State apparatus they use to keep the Workers doing what Workers do and Corporate Leeches DON’T (which is, say it with me class: Actual WORK) by suppressing Unions and other private organizations, and also suppressing any Public Regulation of their own Workplace Safety and Environmental Protection.

The Mountaintop Removal mining which they also claim is safe and doesn’t affect anybody downstream has been proven wrong so many times it’s hardly worth mentioning, but the “Clean” Coal companies keep consistently LYING about it that it has to be mentioned.

The Male small-mouth bass turning into Female small-mouth bass downstream from their “safe and clean” mountaintop removal operations is just one example. The Mining Company TOXIC “gold hill mesa” Waste Dump here in Colorado Springs

Which is in the middle of OUR neighborhood spewing Toxins

and is being sold as a “Traditional Colorado Springs Community” yeah, right, if you count the many times the mining industry has poisoned this area of Colorado and everyplace downstream from it… sure, that’s a “Tradition” that the Mining Corporations and their Real Estate Accomplices have long practiced.
Another prime example of how “safe” their industry is to the people who, unlike the Corporate Executives, don’t make money off them poisoning us.

BUT… the fact that they’re running these ads and the very nature of these ads means they’ve got a chance of LOSING their fat Government Subsidies and they Know It.
That’s another project for the TeaBags, too,

Stop Sucking up to the Energy Corporations and start STANDING up to them. When Don Blankenship, Murderous CEO of Massey, shows up at your TeaBaggings, lynch the bastard. Take bricks with you and stone him onstage. Instead of treating him like some kind of rock-star and cheering every word that spews from his Lying Mouth.
Same with Sarah Palin, the Other Energy Corporate Suck who you treat like a rock star and cheer every word that comes out of HER Lying mouth.

If you can’t recognize who the REAL enemy are, then I’ll help you out, just like right now.
Stop lynching “liberals” in Effigy and use the ropes and torches to get the REAL enemy, who just by a weird coincidence SPONSOR your “grass roots” Astroturf Rallies.

They’re starting to show their True Colors, at the very least drag them out of their Corporate Suck hiding places and expose them fully for what they are. The way WE have been doing for a long time.

Otherwise you’ll be paying your taxes DIRECTLY to their corporate coffers and just skipping the middleman.

By the way, their Commercial Mouthpieces are the same ones who claim that Oil and Gas extraction in the oceans is “safe” and the same ones who LIE to you and say that forcing the Oil and Gas and Coal THIEVES to pay any measurable sum of their stolen money back in taxes is somehow going to harm oh, what was it BP’s Chairman called us, oh yeah “The Small People”.
