OccupyAfghanistan vets Jeremy and Brittany Westmoreland attracted Patriot Shop teabag Jim Kross to their vow to destroy our local occupy. I'd like to say as little as possible about this lamentable development, except to document today's escalation. Occupy Colorado Springs held forth on the sidewalk in front of Memorial Hospital this Saturday, making a plea for UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE. Across the street once again were our threat-making stalkers, fortunately not reprising their Westboro Baptist tauntings, but sitting in their truck as OCS's original heckler Jim Kross finished his cigar. We weren't many, but of course the recent news stories didn't help recruit participants, claiming that OCS is so against the troops, that it kicked out members because they were soldiers. And not more accurately, because they initiated a witch hunt against occupiers who weren't showing solidarity with the US military's occupy movement, OccupyIraq, OccupyAfghanistan, OccupyLibya, veni, vidi, vici. We were in the unusual position of trying not to elicit honks of support from the passing traffic, in view of standing outside a hospital, but drivers signaled their enthusiasm in friendly ways. We discussed repeating this healthcare action soon, it was such an easy sell. Eventually Patriot Kross came over to film us as he made his best taunts. The Westmorelands watched from the truck and after Kross was through, they drove back and forth flipping us off. At first Kross denied any knowledge of the dozen fliers we'd found taped and pinned around the hospital's perimeter. The fliers were "wanted" posters which offered a bounty for the eviction or firing of certain occupiers. The fliers bore Kross's email address and website. He conceded they were his, or belonged "to one of [his] identities," whatever, and then he named the reward, said the amount may have grown since he looked online, and then solicited the occupiers present. We had already removed the fliers he'd circulated around the hospital, from trees, street signs, walls and doors. We had found some fliers downtown on our way to the action. This one was taped to the office building door. Jim Kross's animosity for Occupy goes back to the original GAs, when he used to videotape from the circle's center and exploit the opportunity it gave him to counter everyone's statements. He hadn't been harassing OCS actions until last week when OCS held its NO WAR ON IRAN event. Kross made a gleeful reappearance with Raven Martinez counter-protesting what she considered an anti-troop message. Speaking of Raven, I received this Facebook message on Friday, from her daughter's account which Raven uses when she finds her account blocked... Are those the words of an 11-year-old? "WATCH UR BACK"? Neither Raven nor the Westmorelands seem to understand the line they cross with their threats. On Tuesday Raven defended her comment on NMT asking me what I'd do if my home went up in flames. She said I needed to take it in the context of her talking about soldiers, police and first responders, ignoring the context Soldier Westmoreland had created with his vow to burn

Tea Partying with the Freak Brothers
Whew! These Occupy posts are far more difficult to pry from myself than their predecessors; the hands-on mechanics of putting the earlier stuff into practice in the present world, amongst the isolated pools of individuated consciousness we humans represent, each with his or her own vision of the whole, has been at the very least disorienting. I've lately revived an old motto i swiped from the good people at Oat Willie's down in Austin, Texas: Onward Through the Fog! How odd is it that i've recently connected with some folks that hark back to that place in ways that are deeply surreal. Oat Willie's and Fat Freddie will seem to be completely out of place in this bit, in which i mean to address the notion of cooperation amongst disparate factions, but not permanently i hope. By the end of this post, i hope to connect Occupy, The Tea Party, disparate passions, and yes, Hippies. It will be necessary to engage in some relatively surreal thinking. Last night on a new Facebook page, "UNITE: OCCUPY," (cap lock and all), i got into a conversation about this stuff started by a guy that asked whether anyone thought a joint event between Occupiers and Tea Partiers might be possible. Sure, i said, our Colorado Springs group had lots of Tea Partiers among its earliest enthusiasts, and although many have pulled away, there still exists a close association with many that veer sharply toward the Te Party camp, especially among Ron Paul supporters. The common ground Occupy shares with the Tea Party, at least t a grass root level, is substantial. There can be no doubt of the equally substantial differences. I suspect that it would take some pretty serious ideological barnstorming to bring the two camps together, but nothing prevents the groups from at least tentative discussion to find commonalities. Tonight our Occupy group staged a talk by Tea Party stalwart, Constitutionalist Mike Holler. Mike seemed for all appearances to be an earnest and well-versed supporter of Constitutional "fundamentalism," if you will. He peppered his talk with lots of my favorite quotes from my favorite founding fathers. He got a little testy about the revisionist history his kids bring home from college early on--perhaps indicative of one point of separation between Occupiers and Tea Partiers. Some of those are important. Occupy is international, where the Tea Party can display degrees of jingoism. I, personally, respect the earnest efforts of our Enlightenment founders, but recognize that they were flawed, and aver that their document was dated by racist, sexist, and elitist provisions and thinking that they might be excused from by noting their temporal milieu. We don't have the same luxury. Occupy is legitimately grass root, supported by sweat and blood more than funded, where TP is, or at least became very quickly corporately funded "astroturf," disingenuously proffering libertarian ideals as a smoke screen for corporate license to plunder. Occupiers are in my experience far more diverse than Tea Partiers. Socialist and Anarchist Occupiers
I’m still glad the bastard is in HELL where he belongs…
But today they erected a million point five dollar statue of Ronald Satan Reagan at a Washington DC Airport. Still with that famous shit-eating grin he used to talk down to people whose livelihoods he was cutting off and people like my wife Martha, whose very lives he was cutting off. He was a murdering coward son of a Whore and a donkey. A liar and a thief on the level of George Bush and the chickenshit General William Jackson Palmer who the City of Colorado Springs chooses to honor with a bronze Idol right in the middle of the intersection of Platte and Nevada. All the so-called "Christian" leaders of this town flock to worship at the feet of idols, including the Colorado Springs Christian School, and further compound their idolatry by making idols of Thieves, Liars and Murderers like Palmer, Bush, Winfield Scott, Chivington... and Reagan. I hope he had lucid moments during his long death from Alzheimers where he remembered, perhaps for hours at a time, that he had once stolen and murdered his way into the most powerful position on Earth... and then realize that he was DYING. It's too bad he died from Alzheimers rather than a PAINFUL one like what he visited on Martha, along with his band of thieves like Ron Paul. Cut funding for peoples health care knowing full well they'd die from it. They didn't deserve to die, Martha certainly didn't, Reagan deserved a much more painful death that he had. And anybody who supports his policies to the point of making a literal Idol of him.
The Stark truth about race in Texas.
Of course, now the Land Commissioner is putting through using his State Agency an official OK for issuing license plates with the confederate Hate Flag for a group called Sons Of Confederate Veterans. A group for which I qualify but I would never darken their doorway because I believ Know For A FACT that they're celebrating a four-year long continuous 9/11 Terror Attack against Americans, for the purpose of the "states right" to use state funds and state police and state militia to enforce the perpetual denial of every human right to Americans based on the color of their skin. They're a front group for the Klan in other words. But that's not the whole story nor where I got the title for this post. I had a neighbor in Polytechnic Heights, a neighborhood in Ft Worth. Her name was Mrs Stark. Age 98. One early morning, I wasn't there, I was in Oklahoma at Job Corps learning to cook.... she was struck by the Poly Rapist. Who was actually more than one person. Struck repeatedly with a hammer then raped, then laft to die. For all that, she lived another week or so in intensive care. The attackers were a youth gang. Teenagers. And black. But that isn't really relevant, they didn't rape little old ladies because they were white or the attackers black, it wasn't revenge for slavery or anything like that. They were just cowards, out for the cheapest thrill available. Which during that long hot summer was rape and murder. It wasn't racially based, it was based on them finding the easiest victims, the ones most helpless. God help the stupid bastard who tries to tell me that White Americans never attacked or don't still attack the most helpless victims, they're not off the hook. This was the late 70s, legalized segregation wasn't a very distant memory. There was a very half-hearted offer from the Klan to patrol the streets. Yeah right. They were fishing for a way to look like martyrs, prevented from Nobly Protecting The Elderly by Liberals. While the Stark truth was that they wouldn't have been able to do it. They, too, prefer their victims to be as helpless as possible. They were going to try to play it up as a Black vs White conflict. They don't have the intestines for a real New Civil War but they'll start one anyway and hide behind the real combatants. Same as they do in Iraq and Afghanistan. They'll try to use the "reverse racism" issue to propel Perry or some other Racist Moron into the White House. Count the bleeding corpses later but get their short term profit guaranteed. Hell, they might even dig up Mrs Stark, hopefully not literally, as a rallying cry for their Hate-based (per) Version of Christianity. The best weapon against Hatred is Truth. Hate needs lies to manifest itself and perpetuate itself. Lies like those spread by the Sons Of Confederate Veterans, "Heritage" groups, and the polish
You get your weather forecast at the grocery store DUH!
My Grandpa, 27 year veteran of the Army, was also a staunch Democrat mostly because of Roosevelt and his emergency actions to stop the Depression from destroying America. As bad as it was, it could have gone worse. I know a lot of our (ahem)"conservative" readers, those who drew the assignment of trolling the weblog today, are screaming at their monitors right now just from that. Now, don't y'all worry none, boys, you'll get more to holler about presently. He was in the Civilian Conservation Corps, the ones who at public expense did the necessary work to keep the Heartland from turning into a desert, and cleaned up other little "mistakes" visited on the ecosystem by Mechanized American Mercantilism. That's my nouveau mot du jour. Grandpa was assigned on a dairy farm. With a bunch of others, one of whom was from some city and had apparently never become acquainted with farm life. And who complained about caring for, cleaning and milking the cows. Since cattle lay belly down to sleep at night, often in their own feces, you can't just lead Bossy to the barn, slap a bucket under her and starting pulling teats. Hell to the No Sir. You have to wash those teats first, especially in a setup with a milking machine. Ol' boy was understandably not very happy with that. Wished the cows gone in fact. Grandpa asked him "what would you do for milk then?" and he said "Why, I'd just go to the store and buy it." Enter NOAA and the National Weather Service. Both of them proposed to be cut by the "conservatives". No, seriously. It's been echoed up and down the Right Wing Talking points by now so I'm not sure which one exactly said it first. Bachmann perhaps Who represents a Dairy district by the way. But they're searching for things that cumulatively wouldn't cut a tenth of the deficit, because they're not going to dare breathe the Subsidies to The Rich in the form of the Police and Military State. A "Sacred Cow" as it were. Which is a misnomer as is "scapegoat" as used in the vernacular "they made him the scapegoat". Let's roll with those a few moments For instance, the Wealthy "scapegoat" food stamps and public housing and point to privately subsidized enterprises like Soup Kitchens and the Salvation Army. Cut a check to the mission every other month, so they think, Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am nobody goes hungry. Ummmm... not so... Aside from the Privatize Everything mentality causing most of the problems in the economy today, the very little spent on soup kitchens and missions doesn't even go to a red hot two percent of the people who need help just to Not Freakin' Starve In The Streets. Then there's the National Weather Service. The Lunatic Fringe want to cut it because, "people would just get their weather from weather.com or Weatherbug".... Uhhhh.... not only didn't your cheeseburger and fries not magically appear at your McFatFood restaurant, there were many middlemen
Shocking USAToday headline: Most supercommittee members have ties to lobbyists
Say it ain't so, Joe. The USAToday chain actually crawling up to the bar and saying what everybody knew since the SuperCommittee was announced at the end of July? In other news Might-Makes-Right Wing former favorite (Hey, the RNC paid his back due child support, alimony and property taxes) Samuel Wurzlbach, the Fake Joe Fake Plumber, famous for lying, is running for congress. His former sponsor in crime, Sarah Palin, announced that she won't run for president. Said "family considerations come first" which is a new concern for her. Probably has a lot to do with the majority of supporters of her running on either the Republican or Tea Party tickets were Democrats. All in all a productive news day.
Capital = Job creation, as explained by CenturyLink formerly Qwest formerly SW Bell
and somewhere in there a brief fantasy relationship with Yahoo as an internet service provider and a general screwing to the taxpayers of the City of Irving and Dallas county being thrown in... but I once more digress. CenturyLink "absorbed" Qwest's facilities, employees and corporate debts in a process called merger where all duplicated or "redundant" jobs on both sides of the merger were downsized. Meaning XXX number of real people lost their tech and service sector jobs. That's the way it looks on any prospectus of any merged corporations, in order to convince people to invest more capital in those corporations. In reality the jobs created would be debt collectors and repossession crews and foreclosure agents. BUT that's what they tell the Money People. Those of us who are in the Peasant Majority are told that we should welcome CenturyLink along with the massive tax breaks given on top of the ones they already enjoyed PLUS extras for "Job Creation" in our communities... we're told that these massive layoffs is somehow an opportunity for those "downsized" out of having a living wage job to get a job with a company who has just laid off about 20 percent of their workforce by eliminating redundant positions. Firing people in other words. But "job creation" is their story, and they're stickin' to it. So when you hear a politician proclaim that his policies of deregulation and wage-cutting and tax breaks for the richest actually created jobs, now you know why it is that a lot of people have decided that he's just full of shit all the way up to the nose and it keeps leaking out of his mouth. Other questions for them would be, since Union Membership is under 20% of the workers now, for thirty years the right to organize, join or even mention the word "Unions" anywhere on or off the job has been slashed, safety health and environmental regulations slashed, the remaining shreds of those regulations routinely ignored, and the workers' right to legal redress of grievances limited under "Tort Reform" plus the lowest tax rate since the last Great Depression, hasn't created any "new jobs" for us even though the Corporations have had their way granted to them on a silver charger for 3 straight decades. But you'll only get half of the first part of the question asked when the TeaBag and RepubliKlan Morons shout you down.
36 Gigabucks in fraud? Dig harder or dig in another place…
Cause there's a much more massive gap between what was reported to us as the cost of the war as late as oh. let me see... Last Week, where the cost of the War on An Amorphous Emotion Peopled By Shadowy Dark Skinned People In Far Corners of The Empire was "set" at being somewhere more than a Trillion dollars.... and the amount that doesn't seem to be accounted for. Which is estimated at between 5 and 8 trillion. How does 8 Trillion anything just up and piss-a-deer? I published an analogy of what a trillion dead mosquitoes would look like in one place, it would be a hill of mosquito meat about as tall as the Capitol Dome. Perhaps one reason the money is "unaccounted" is because the accountants work for the Thieves. Such as one Richard Cheney, who recently as in a couple of days ago did another interview on NBC. Regarding him being not responsible for the massacre of the poor known as the "response to Hurricane Katrina". Irresponsible? yes. NOT responsible? Hell to the no. His company, Halliburton, from which he didn't divest at all when he became the President of Vice, took the greatest share of the funds sent into the Magic Hole Which Makes Money Disappear. Using no-bid contracts administered by... Vice President Richard Cheney. Halliburton, by the way, is a company organized strictly for theft. It's what they do and they're very good at it. I know using the word "good" while describing that particular nest of snakes (my appologies to real snakes and other reptiles) makes it Instant Oxymoron, but that's one of the gaping holes in the Modern English Language. They have sucked America dry and built themselves a private island resort off the coast of Dubai, UAE. Let's break momentarily from Trashing The Trash, in other words talking smack about the thieves, and remind our audience what the term Trillion means as opposed to Billion. When you multiply anything by a thousand, that's when the name changes. "Mil" as in million means "a thousand" and in that case means a thousand times a thousand. A Billion is a thousand times a Million. A Trillion is a 1,000 x 1,000, x 1,000 x 1,000. A thousand times a billion, A MILLION millions. Bill Gates had at one time 80 billion dollars in his personal stash, that's less than 1% of a trillion. And approximately 5 trillion is missing. The largest circulating bill in U.S. currency is the $100. Each weighs a gram. It takes ten kilograms of $100 bills to make a million dollars, and that's the smallest physical pile of currency that would possibly make a million dollars. It wouldn't be like in the movies where somebody carries a briefcase full of money and it's valued, for the sake of poetic license, as ten million bucks. Not so. Ten million would weigh about what I do, 220 pounds. You would need a suitcase so big you would have to check it at the airport, not carry on luggage,
Things to De-Celebrate this National Hate Week
Which is a smack to the back of the head to all those who told us in 1984 that the Police State setup from the BOOK of the same name couldn't possibly happen in America because it was all about Socialist Dystopia and nobody, no not ever, could set up a CAPITALIST dictatorship. God, they're stupid. But here's what the post 9/11 "patriotism" has gotten us. Eight years of a moron for president, an evil moron but a moron. His crew of more intelligent evil people used the occasion to make it unpatriotic to question their plans to deregulate American industries. We've seen a 9/11 worth of dead Americans every single month due to denial of Health Care. We've seen pollution that al Qa'eda could only hope to inflict on any one small town, done daily and across the nation. We've seen our national surplus turned upside down, and many multiples of the amount of that surplus in debt, due to the Wars started by the aforementioned Moron in response to 9/11. The badly misnamed USA PATRIOT Act is being invoked against Julian Assange and Wikileaks in response to their telling the TRUTH about 9/11 and the aforementioned wars, the moron who started them and the morons who still follow his leadership even though it's destroyed what used to be America. Those Morons have banded together into Right Wing Terrorist Groups such as the TeaParty, Minutemen and other "patriotic" front-ends for the Ku Klux Klan. They'll be flying plenty of the Hate Flag. By Tea-Klan MORONS such as this couple who made their Wedding into a Hate-fest. Yep, that's right, they're celebrating their wedding with symbols of Starting A Racist War which killed half a million Americans in order to keep according to the 1860 census 3,950,528 Americans in perpetual bondage based on the color of their skin. To deny AMERICANS the rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness spoken of, ever so nobly, in a revered document written by a Slaveowner. So much for the "original intent", Jefferson spoke of Liberty in one paper then wrote whole books demonizing Black Americans and condemning them to slavery. You find that a lot in the "original intent" doctrine espoused by those who want to return America to an official slave nation. Emboldened by the level of pure ignorant and racist Hatred engendered by 9/11. So, De-Celebrate it by burning the Racist Flag. And, not just those of us who are of Darker Skin, or mixed "race". Every WHITE person in the world has a stake in this as well, a huge stake because it will only be by the WHITES rejecting the label the Racist PurkMeisters like the Tea-Klan want to place on All White People. They would have me and thee and she and he and we and everybody in the whole world believe that all white people are as stupid, ignorant and hate filled as they are. So I'm calling on the so-called "white race" to step up and redeem and reclaim the dignity
An 83% Payroll Tax, on the Workers and paid directly to the Corporations
That's what I paid and, everybody who works for a "Slave Market" minimum wage Labor Contractor Service such as Labor Ready, Apprentice, Manpower, Kelly... The "tax" is paid to a Non-Governmental Organization, and is paid before the Worker gets his check. I base the 83% figure on the fact that the workers are paid only 1/6th of what the Parasite Corporation gets for his "product". Under the various manifestations of the "Right To Get Screwed At Work" law, the workers aren't allowed to negotiate wages, working conditions, pensions or Insurance through the use of Collective Bargaining. We're supposed, instead, to go hat-in-hand and beg the employer for a slight fraction more of what is actually owed us. On an individual basis and, under the RTW law, the employer can cut your wages just as quickly as he "gives" them to you. They can take 5 times what we get, producing absolutely NOTHING themselves. We're not allowed to do what the Corporate Masters do, insist on a profit for our product. Nor, according to the laws as interpreted by their Tame Supreme Court, are we even allowed to break even. You can't go to King Soopers or Safeway and buy a $3 loaf of bread for only a dollar, insisting that that's all you'll pay them. If you leave the dollar and take the loaf, they'll call the Korporate Kontrolled Kops on you and have you arrested. And they call their TeaParty stooges, most of them the Stupid members of the Working Class, to defend their Corporate Masters from the "theft" of paying income tax. They have the government at every level in their service, coercing workers around the world to accept Slave Wages, at public expense, so every dime in their bark accounts is a Direct Government Subsidy. If the "peasants" rebel, like in Honduras, the U.S. Military will intervene, and ALWAYS on behalf of the Corporate Masters. Like their Death Squadsjust did "Gunmen have shot dead farm workers' leader Secundino Ruiz in Honduras." Gunmen paid and protected by the Pentagonistas. Whenever a soldier tells me how "lucky" I am to be here in America rather in the Banana Republics he was deployed to, TO MAKE SURE CONDITIONS NEVER CHANGE THERE, AND TO BACK UP THE GOON SQUADS OF HIS AND THEIR CORPORATE MASTERS I think of this. But, hey, TeaBags, other RepubliKlan sucks, be proud! You're trying your best to make sure your own families have to live under the same slavery. And it's only acknowledged as theft when the Corporations are required to pay a fraction of what they've stolen back to the people who stole it for them.
Rick GoodHair, latest actor in the insane RNC puppet show
Aside from the constant pain in my destroyed feet ankle and left knee being a minute by minute reminder of the "Texas Miracle" economic program... There's the fact that the Reddest of the Red States are net debtors to the Federal Government they claim to despise. Corporate Warfare Welfare being the worst offender but also the massive amount of people who are eligible for food stamps (such as it is) AFDC and utilities assistance even though they're working two jobs at slave wages. Keep the workers broke, in debt, and if they're broken on the job, like myself, we're told that we should have squeezed insurance money and "down time" money out of the wage which isn't enough to pay our bills. The net effect is we're paying the corporations for the privilege of being their slaves. Then the stoopit bastard said, many times, that he could and would secede from the United States. Groovy, GoodHair, tres groovie. You can catch the bus to Guatemala or some other banana republic any time you want. One thing, the three other times Texas actually seceded, 1821 from Spain, 1836 from Mexico and 1861 from the United States the cause was an exaggerated view of Property Rights, and the constitutional prohibition against removing (amongst other things) property without due process. Only the "property" they were talking about was owning the lives and labor of human beings. Funny thing about that clause, so Noble a Cause when the Confederacy of Dunces pulled that shit... Now, the PEOPLE they were so worried about no longer being allowed to unlawfully remove their liberty from said PEOPLE, without any more than a pretense of Due Process, before they were born and for the duration of their lives and their childrens lives, well, they're no longer considered property. If Ricky the Republitard actually wanted to take Texas out of the Union, it would have to be a UNANIMOUS vote by every person in the state. To forcibly evict any dissidents from Texas would deprive them of their freedoms and their property without due process. Gentlemen and Ladies of Colour in Texas are now the majority, and, it's our family history, we know how "kindly" and with what measure of respect for their rights our ancestors were treated the last three secession sessions. Maybe his retarded ass should go door-to-door in South Oak Cliff soliciting votes for his Return To The Glory of the (slave plantation) Old South campaign. And of course kiss some huge military installations goodbye, which was his next trick to balance the Texas Budget. Fat chance. So now he's hoping to follow the footsteps of his Thief Mentor GWBush, go to Washing Tundy Sea in order to pull of similar robbery of the U.S. treasury. Why settle for comparatively Petty Theft crimes when they could go straight for the jugular? But the fact that the Moron, along with similarly morally challenged freaks who make up the "leadership" pool of the RepubliKlan and TeaPotty candidates, actually has a chance of being offered up as a serious
OMG the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph agrees Obama is a Tar-Baby
YES OF COURSE my surprised is feigned, but not my embarrassment. How in the world does a newspaper of not insignificant distribution (okay, readership perhaps) not restrain itself from supporting a bigoted remark like Congressman Lamborn's? Whether the racism was inadvertent or idiotic, at best the comparison of America's black president to a "Tar-Baby" could have been remarked upon, if one didn't want to condemn it, but the Colorado Springs Gazette chose to support its Tea-Party libertarian by belittling criticism that the reference to the Uncle Remus stereotype was racist. In historic perspective it recalls the days when Colorado newspapers endorsed lynchings, and later the Klan. In essence that's not ancient history. People no further away than Denver can dismiss Lamborn as typical of Pikes Peak mouth-breathers, and the Gazette editorial page confirms them. Indignation doesn't begin to touch it.
Tea Party revolutionaries support establishment here and in Mexico
Amazing that the same hate groups who want to start an "Ass-tro turf" Corporate funded "revolution" to maintain the corporate status quo (isn't a revolution supposed to overthrow the Establishment?) are providing the guns to both sides in the current Mexican revolution. But only if you're not already inured to Tea-Bag hypocrisy and lies. Perhaps they should take a good look at the pictures coming out of Mexico. Grim shit. Picture your friends or neighbors chopped to pieces by those machine guns they object to even calling "assault rifles". The Mexican press doesn't get all squirrelly like "our" press does. They publish the pictures, not from any "disrespect for the dead" as 120 angry denunciations of NMT accuse us. It's more like "look what you DID, you bastards!!" Since many of the Tea-Tards profess to be war veterans the ones who actually ARE already know what dead humans look like, and it makes their sheep-like chants of "call me when WE behead someone" even more putrid. They WANT not only to SEE Americans, their neighbors and even family, chewed to pieces like that , the murderous fucks want to DO it. And already have. OKC, Knoxville, Arivaca, Tucson... should have been wake-up calls, but were apparently, not. Strangely, they believe they'll be the only ones shooting. Their unhinged unmanned drone Jared Laughner was taken down by two unarmed "pussy" LIBERALS. So was Adkisson. Take another look at those pictures, TeaBags. Some of them had guns in THEIR hands.
Wikileaks- US State Dept ties Haitian aid to acceptance of wage slavery
When the outgoing Haitian Govt insisted on the whopping huge $5 a DAY minimum wage instead of the three dollars a day being offered by the Corporate-owned U.S.A.I.D., their pet sellouts at State Dept, which has been trying to put a stranglehold on who does or does not do business with Haiti since, like, Forever, endorsed a U.S.A.I.D. report that Haiti wasn't as badly harmed by the earthquake and thus, the Haitian people owe the aid money back. Welcome to the Global Plantation. I wonders, yes I does, how much Gov Scott Walker, Rep Paul Ryan, Gov LePage of Maine, Rick GoodHair of Texas, The Chambers of Commerce, and their Local Anti-worker ToolsTrained Monkeys like Paige, Patchsi, Janis Heuberger, Jeff Crank, Malkin, Tancredo, and the entire City Council, the Mayor and County Commissioners have in their own personal stock portfolios on this? Slavery by low wage and high debt IS their main way of doing business. How about it, anti-Union anti-Working Class PUNKS? Sound off on how morally superior and righteous you are in defense of Slavery.
A mother’s day message for the RepubliKlan
I mean, aside from your party lock step voting to cancel Medicare and Social Security for your own mommas as well as ours... nice to see your penchant for Human Sacrifice is still strong, except of course that you're not going to actually sacrifice YOURSELVES. But you know how y'all like to say, especially the Libertarian faction and TeaPotties? That you might not agree with what we say but you'll fight to the death to defend our right to say it? So, when Lauren Valle was stomped down for criticizing your hero Rand Paul, by three of his Koward Kentucky Komrades, with hundreds of other KKK disciples of "liberty" standing around to make sure nobody interrupted their sick sadistic fun and Rand Paul himself, nobly of course refusing to either "fight to the death" or even tell his chickenshit disciples to stop? Yeah, that one. And of course Sarah Palin telling the people not to sit down and not to shut up while she was having the Police arrest people and violently drag them from her rally because they didn't sit down or shut up? Of course y'all didn't even do anything to protest that, did you? I can understand that you're AFRAID of your Komrades because, you know, when you get in your little ol' Posse you can be pretty vicious. But to stand up and LIE about how much you'll risk to fight for "freedom" or "liberty" well... Yo Mommas must have been so very proud of you. Until you killed them and ate them....
Sarah Palin and the Republican Lie of “sacrifice”
Since she makes so much political hay over having sacrificed "her own" son to the Military Establishment, maybe she should have a short tutorial on the word Sacrifice. First, stolen goods, stolen money and humans aren't viewed as Clean for the Temple. Just like Caiphas couldn't spend the thirty shekels, because it was the price of blood. Sarah Palin could not in any way OWN her son. He's another separate human being. Not a possession. He might consider himself a sacrifice (he'd be wrong) but it would be HIS blood offering, not hers. Also he doesn't seem to be dying for the atonement of anybody's sin, if he DOES get his fascist face blown through the back of his skull it'll be because he's in a foreign country enslaving the people, taking their land and oil in the name of the corporations for whom Momma Grizzly does her whorin'. and one of them would get in a good shot while defending his country against Young Sgt Palin. Not anything similar to a sacrifice. A sacrifice is to make one Holy. Not to make one a simple grubby little cowardly murderer. But it goes right along with the Capitalist Theme, that the Captains of Industry should be allowed the full fruits of something other people built or did. Mrs Palin and the rest of them can say that they "sacrificed" their own kids to the Killing Machine, but they, like the Captains of Industry, who never put their own hand to the plough, never take up the sword to commit their own murders, and take whatever gain or sick emotional credit for the actions of others. They are a disgusting and slimy lot. No wonder the local business and civic and social "leaders" look up to them, especially those who pretend to be ministers of God. Her "sacrifice" of her son, or more truthfully the people murdered by her son, mirrors all their vainglorious actions.
Shit I learned in school
...because, really, I DO believe there's a deliberate sabotage of Public Education being done simply by handing a "liberal" program over to be administered by "conservatives". In 7th grade in Texas you're taught Texas History. Some of it would be almost unrecognizable from a Yankee point of view. For instance, we were taught that the Civil War wasn't about slavery, it was about State's Rights. State's Rights to spend civic money and exercise military and police powers to enforce slavery. We were also told, and I have reason to believe that it's gotten worse, we were told that the Slaves were well treated, given decent food and housing, and Medical Care. Happy Days on de ol' Plantation wif all de Darkies singin' and happy and de Massa jes' lubbin all of dem! O, de sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home it's summer and the darkies are gay... You smile and laugh and sing because the Massah would beat you and maybe have you killed if you indicated any dissatisfaction with the arrangement. It's that simple. The Slaves were all Happy and Content and Well Treated... so why do the Corporate Slaveholders of the Modern Plantation, the ones who advance this bald-face lie about how good slaves had it, refuse to provide health care and good nutrition and housing for their Debt-slaves? Is it only profitable to provide a decent standard of living if you outright OWN the workers? They don't make too much comment about how these Happy, Contented Slaves all smilin' and singin' and the Good Massah lubbin' every one of dem... why they would be forbidden to take any outside employment in their spare time, to perhaps earn enough money to buy their freedom? The Prison System uses a similar tactic to keep its slaves from escaping, if you're caught with money you're punished. Likewise the Slaves were forbidden Education, even so much as to teach a slave to read was punishable by death. And to BE that slave? Thus are the scions of the Debt Slaves treated now, public education being snatched away from our kids and allocated only to the children of the Merchant master class. And health care and nutrition... look to the TeaTards with their anger and hatred toward people who actually receive health care, which the TeaTard Hate Freak leaders say only the Wealthy deserve. Of course they will LIE and say they're only looking out for States Rights.... Corporate State rights to hold people in slavery. And threatening a new Civil War in which they'll kill a lot of Americans to keep things that way. Them Corporate Slaveowners sho' does love them the idea of Killing Americans. Why I believe the Texas History Textbooks are being slanted more to the right... Rick "GoodHair" Perry, fascist dictator of Texas, said the older textbooks were too Liberal WTF? And in Texas the Governor determines the curriculum for the schools in the entire state. So look for even MORE brainwashed morons who will grow up thinking that keeping human beings in bondage and Killing PEOPLE
1/2 million in London in Pre-wedding drama
Demonstrating against cuts which force austerity on the poorest... but not on the richest. They've already (the protesters) once gotten their hands on Charles' car with him and lovely bride Camel-face errr his lovely camel Camilla, errr never mind over cutting education. Sound familiar? What that demonstrated was that the police tactic of "kettling" didn't work. Not if it's strategically outmaneuvered, instead of ONE or only several larger demonstrations, have a whole bunch of demonstrations all around the "kettle". Kettle the police in other words. While planning for his son's wedding. A huge Taxpayer Subsidized affair blatantly stating "Ha-Ha, we're rich, you're not, suck on it you Silly Peasants!" much like our own Self-Anointed Royals here in Colorado Springs. (Hi, Princess Lisa!) or Scott Walker in Wisconsin or the Emperor Brothers Koch. They attempted a "Let them eat cake" maneuver saying how the poor, wretched starving Royals had to "tighten their budget as well" for instance the newly created Princess will have to ride in a Previously Owned Rolls Royce! A, Qu'elle Horreur!!! Imagine the shame of the Royals being seing in public in a Used Car!!??? I personally believe Prince William will look quite handsome at the guillotine or, for the more impatient, being hoisted on several pitchforks at once. But the British Pigs at Scotland Yard are very worried.
Scott Walker, Koch-Licker Supreme, strikes again
In a measure not just skirting state constitution, but directly contravening it, the Anti-Workers Rights law was published Friday. Not even bothering anymore to hide their vicious agenda to deprive workers of freedom. The only "right" workers will have is to work. At whatever wage the Big Pig Parasite Class decides is enough for them to survive on, even if it's far less than what it costs US to produce our labor. The Greedy-ass Rich Bitch corporate overlords would refuse to make less than a 20% annual profit, yet WE, the workers who put the money in THEIR pockets to begin with, are not allowed to decide what a fair profit for OUR labor, OUR product, would be. Nor even to decide for ourselves what "breaking even" would be, THEIR thieving Corporate Accountants and Corporate Attorneys will tell us and if we object, what? The traditional method for them to punish workers for being so "uppity" as to think of ourselves as Human Beings with rights, is to order THEIR Pigs to arrest us and THEIR so-called "justice" system to Imprison us, forcing US to work for THEIR corporations without any pay. If we object any further, they have THEIR Torture-freak "corrections" officers murder us behind walls, conveniently where the only witnesses will be Their Fellow Pigs. Just a coincidence, then, that the PIG governor of Wisconsin exempted cops and "corrections" Slaves from bargaining limitations? Until he can figure a way to screw them as well. Eat the Rich. We've fed the porky bastards long enough, it's time for them to start feeding US.
So Apparently Mrs Palin really isn’t a hunter…
Meaning that she LIED about being Momma Grizzly as easily as she lied about being a "fiscal conservative". The root word in "conservative" is "conserve" and the reason her being a liar is so relevant is that she'll be HERE next month promoting other lying-ass Republican "conservatives" who conserve absolutely nothing. Steve Bach, for instance, Sally and Lisa the Princess Twins, Doug Bruce. This is third hand, from politcususaDOTcom, because some of the more so-called conservative respondents to our comments are too damned lazy to follow a link. It's a recurrent problem and printed in its entirety, same reason. ?It's part of the pattern of dishonesty that defines the entire right wing. This morning, Malia Litman (owner of MaliaLitman’s “A Rebuttal to the Rogue” blog) alerted PoliticusUSA that she had uncovered a rather large lie Sarah Palin has been peddling to the American public. Litman did an exhaustive investigation which revealed that Palin has been fooling the American people about a fundamental aspect of who she is as a person. For two years now, we’ve been sold the notion of Palin as Mama Grizzly, the great hunter and fisher woman who spends her free time hunting up meat that she then whips up into a delicious moose stew for her huge family, all while traipsing around the country selling “feminism” as something which no longer involves women being equal partners, having their freedoms, or having dominion over their own bodies. Turns out, this is a lie. Sarah Palin doesn’t hunt, or if she does, she does it illegally. Here’s the background courtesy of Ms Litman’s blog : “On Monday, September 13, 2010 Palin was in Kansas City giving another speech. It was the specific comments in that speech that alerted me to the deception that Palin has promoted throughout the last two years. She mentioned that she had “recently gone hunting in Alaska, and still had caribou blood under her fingernails. Furthering the deception, Palin said “We eat, therefore we hunt.” The idea that (Palin) would appear for a speech with her hair and make-up done, with blood under her beautifully manicured nails, was too hard to believe. (Palin) had gone too far! Palin was either lying when she made this comment, or she was announcing from her podium that she had violated Alaska’s hunting laws. A casual observer would assume (Palin) was smart enough to be alert to violation of the Alaska hunting laws after the controversy surrounding Troopergate, and Mike Wooten’s disclosure that he shot a moose out of season. A casual observer would be in error to make that assumption.” Here is the evidence Ms Litman amassed: “1. On Saturday, Aug. 28th Sarah Palin was with Glenn Beck at the Restoring Honor Rally in Washington D.C. 2. On Saturday, Aug. 28th the Alaska Fish and Game Department announced that it would close the Fortymile caribou herd hunt after a single day. The reason for the decision to close the hunt after one day was that last year in just three days, hunters
Two years ago they said the dude was murdered
To silence him, of course. Now the Murdoch-owned (maybe just affiliated) tabloid The Globe reports that "Obama's gay lover tries to commit suicide". Call the Pope! it's a Miracle! Man dead for two years tries to commit suicide! Other headlines in this bizarre series, "Oprah Gay!" "Obama has affair with Oprah!" "Michelle has affair with Oprah!" "Michelle tells Oprah: Stay away from MY man!" So, which is it, is he gay, his wife and Oprah also gay, are they straight, or what? Why don't they come out against his expansion of the Afghan and Iraqi and Libyan and Pakistan and insert_Target_Nation_Here war, or perhaps get on his case about repeatedly doing exactly what their bosses tell him to do, cave on Health Care, Cave on taxes, Cave on this Cave on that. Dude has so many caves he ought to change his name to Carlsbad. But they want to portray him to their Demented TeaBag Loser Shock-troops as being an unstoppable dictator, Antichrist, who they have to stop.
Right Wing “lone wolf” murderers
Their Whoremasters like Sarah Palin and the rest of the DumFox crew still refuse to admit that they urge people to KILL (they have to have other people do it because they're too frightened to murder people themselves). Usually it's male wannabee hitmen like Jared Loughner, Jim Adkisson, von Brunn, Scott Roeder, Tim McVeigh, Terry Nichols, Erik Rudolf, Local Retard Gary Faulkner and the occasional physically female like Babykiller Shawna Forde, and they have a few other things in common. They're usually part of local cults, not exactly "lone wolf" like the Right Wing Hate Media claim. They usually go after people they consider weaklings. And they perceive their Fox News Whoremasters to be speaking literally when they rant and rave and foam at the mouth about a "War" against any form of Non-Fox Thought. Like Sarah Palin urging her demented Disciple Jared Loughner to murder 6 people in Tucson. Lou Dobbs urging Shawna Forde and her crew to Murder (yet another) nine year old American Child. If Gary Faulkner had succeeded in killing some Pakistan citizens, most likely including children, in his Rambo-inspired fantasy quest to take out the ALREADY DEAD Osama bin Laden, who among the Hate-Mongers would take the credit for sending yet another Hate-Filled Wannabee Holy Warrior/Crusader to MURDER HUMAN BEINGS for their political agenda? The Freakin' Bureau of Incompetence practically admitted that bin Laden is dead. They published a "wanted poster" that had Somebody Else As The Picture and said as their excuse that nobody has any verified pictures of Osama bin Laden since 2002. So how would the dumbass even know if the Fellow Child Of God who he would end up murdering was actually bin Laden? There's a growing consensus, just not among the Right Wing Hate Media, and their really Stupid Cult, that Osama bin Laden is largely a creation of the Warmongers, a boogyman set up to draw heat away from the real players. And that he isn't alive today. According to his "profile" and the Hate-Wing Media sure does love them some profilin', say there should be MORE profiling, usually on Racial lines... (but they're not racists at least according to themselves) he's a glory hound. A narcissist. (like the dumbshits the DumFox crew turns loose on Usually American Targets) who thrives on media attention, playing center stage, a ham, always wanting the spotlight. He would play Juliet if he couldn't get the role of Romeo, just to guarantee the star credits. Somebody who wouldn't go nine years without having his picture taken and published and verified. That doesn't prove the theory that he was an actor hired by the War Industry to provoke a war which is paying them very handsomely. It goes a long way toward debunking the purism and dogma that passes for "information" from the so-called authorities. "Thou Shalt Not Question Fox News, for they are Holier than thou" Speaking of "Dog"ma, and socially retarded trailer trash, "Dog" the Bounty Hunter said last summer that he could deliver Osama bin
Lisa Czeladtko Kills Babies!
So do all the real estate industry Sucks who support her and her Kid Killing Komrades like the developers of that Toxic Waste Dump directly across 24W /slash/Cimarron street, where they're building quarter-to-half million dollar McMansions on TOXIC WASTE. Which is releasing even more of the toxins which are buried there into Fountain Creek. Extrneme, says you? Not so, says me. Those toxic chemicals like Mercury, Cyanide, Arsenic, Copper Sulfate, Lead Sulfate, Chrome Oxide, other poisons which are a result of the Oil, Gas, Coal, Metal extractions induustries supported by, and supporting the candidacy of BABYKILLERS LIKE PRINCESS BARBIE Czeladtko and substantially more than half of the candidates running for Mayor or City Council in less than a month. These are the people who sold their own souls and the lives of everybody else, including and especially the children, to the Corporate Monsters. Yet they run their campaigns on the outright LIES of "morality, decency, family values" and other so-called "conservative" garbage. The "conservatives" conserve nothing but their own Fascist power structure. They should be ashamed but, tragically, they're not. Instead of blaming their "conservative" values of dumping toxic chemicals into the waters, they blamed a tiny minority, the Homeless PEOPLE, for bacteria in the creeks, rather than the HomeFull people with their dogs crapping in their yards. Standard Rich Reich Wing hyperbole. Demonize the poorest CITIZENS, who, in a not very coincidental Bizarre Coincidence, were cut completely out of the vote for this election cycle, while Ms Czeladtko and her Fellow Baby-killing Local Aristocracy work on ways to make their disenfranchisement permanent. Because, to Princess Barbie and her ilk, we the people don't deserve representation, only the Rich do. Drill Baby Drill is exactly equivalent to Kill Babies, Kill. Sarah Palin and her clones like Princess Lisa can kiss my ass about that.
Princess Lisa, “conservative” spends city funds threatening opposition.
Princess Lisa sent this Email, cc'ed to Dennis Hisey, Amy Lathen and Sallie Clark, her TeaBag Terrorist accomplices, and to the Fascist Sheriff and Police Chief: I assume these are copyright violations. Ed, I am forwarding this on to Chief Meyers of the Colorado police department and El Paso County's Sheriff Maketa. Your videos are inappropriate, threatening, include sexual content, promote violence and hate, you have written defamatory statements against elected officials, and are probably violating copyright laws. I will ask for appropriate instruction to go through the formal process to keep you away from me. End Quote I watch Ed's videos. Sex? Violence? Nope. Defamatory? How does one Defame the Infamous? Promoting HATE? You're a TeaBag, for God's Sake! The ones with the endless supply of Deranged Lone-Wolf Social Misfits who you talk into doing your dirty deeds for you, the ones YOU and your fellow ChickenHawks are afraid to do for yourselves. And a "limited government" candidate spending Taxpayer Money to demand the Police do your thug work for you. Shame on you, Princess! Ok... So, if she's still playing along... Lisa, look, hun, it's like this. Calling the Cops is for CRIMINAL offenses, not for pointing out that your pals are a bunch of Nazi freaks who pack automatic weapons IN America because they want to kill AMERICANS.. Not forgetting that none of your Ku Klux Klown amigos are going to do the real killing for yourselves. Don't you worry your Little Princess head none, though, because I'm sure you'll find another Jared Loughner or Scott Roeder or Jim Adkisson to ideologically cleanse at least a few Colorado Springs citizens. There's enough lunatics in the right wing section of the world and your Hate-Mongers are good at finding them, arming them and setting them loose. And as for pasting your face on a perfectly good movie poster for a really awful movie. If anybody is going to file copyright claims it would be the producers of that really stinky movie. It would NOT be something that the Colorado Springs Gestapo should investigate. Lisa, are you reading this, sometime in the near future relative to the time which I wrote this? Please, do consider this. You're allegedly a "fiscal conservative" but really, you come off as being a hate-filled rich errr... "witch" yeah, that's the ticket, a rich-witch MY SINCERE APOLOGIES TO REAL WITCHES who will waste the already slashed to the bone city funds by using the Publicly Funded Police like they're your own private Goon Squad because you can't handle people making fun of you. Please, lady, for the love of God (Montressor) drop the hell out of the race and go back to your Barbie Dream House. Oh, me forgetted... Tea Bags no read good. The "for the love of God, Montressor!" part was from a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, "The Cask Of Amantillado" and I'm pretty sure the only place you saw Poe's books was at your semi-seasonal Book Burnings. You could look it up at the Librar... oh yeah, I
Ballot Caging and the real difference between D and R
The R's don't want people to vote. More people politically active, means they lose. Very simple. You might ask yourself Self, what's the worst that could happen? What's the difference between a D and an R? What real difference does it make if large groups of people are disenfranchised? Why not ask the R's? I mean, they're the ones who spend lots of effort making sure people don't vote, right? Like County Clerk Williams and his lapdog Kathryn Young making sure people who didn't vote in Nov can't vote in Apr. Mr Williams was elected in a mudslide last anointed High Priest of Republican Vote Suppression, and made sure as many people as possible couldn't vote. It's his "official" job to do the opposite, but since he only represents Republican Voters the Official Version went out the window. One of the things his term-limited former fuhrer Bob Balink (doesn't that sound a lot like a Quayle?) did was move the Polling Place on the Westside, a strong Democratic district, across the Great Barrier Highway, to a warehouse district as far removed from a bus stop as you can get in this town, the only way you could get to it is up two streets, 21st street and Busch, UP A STEEP HILL with no sidewalks. Does that sound much to you like they actually wanted for instance DISABLED people to vote, especially when they were trying to rig the election in favor of people who want DISABLED Americans to just curl up and die? Hmmmm... How many people who have no difficulty walking actually go by their polling place weeks or days early to make sure that nobody sneaked away with their polling place, which WAS conveniently located in the middle of the population center of the West Side and a short block away from a bus stop? Miss Johnnie and I didn't find out until election day in the afternoon. Fortunately at that point we had just gotten a car. I would have a great deal of difficulty navigating up that hill, Miss Johnnie would never have made it, somebody in a wheelchair would never have made it... somebody just getting off work, going to the West Middle School location and discovering the neat little signs that Boob Balink had put up saying "Ha ha, we SCREWED you out of an opportunity to vote, too bad so sad, you should have been born rich like the only people I represent were!" Elections are held in April and November. Many people unfamiliar to Colorado Springs wouldn't know that there is a strong statistical chance of SNOW in April and definitely in November. Can you imagine trying to get up that hill in the snow, especially with the usual weekday traffic of Redneck Ignorant Asshole Republicans driving by
