Our local District Attorney has declared the case closed that the Real Estate industry who own City Hall and the Mayor and the County Commissioners might be using the legislative and enforcement powers of City Hall and their appointed servants in the Police and Courts to rig deals that profit... The Real Estate Cartel. Couldn't possibly be that Rich People would use their wealth to buy political power and use that power to route Public Money into their already swollen bank accounts. No, they're above that sort of behavior. Or so we're told, this time by their bought-and-paid (through stolen public money, perhaps?) District Attorney. Because wealth and the attendant Greed would never invite them into corrupt practices. No not never!

Bank of America to Americans: “You gonna be our bitch”
Yes, our old friends who took a billion dollar gift from America, paid no taxes... Got us again. Seems they're going to make the consumers pay for regulations which prevented them from unannounced and hidden fees. The smug perfectly manicured bastard interviewed by NBC news said: "People should complain to their congressmen" because Congress told them they're not allowed to steal (sometimes not allowed) from us and thus they "lost" MONEY THE THIEVING BASTARDS DIDN'T ALREADY HAVE, IT WAS STILL OUR MONEY AND THEY WERE PROHIBITED FROM STEALING IT. Yes, by those calculations, anybody who buys a watchdog or installs a burglar alarm Owes The Burglars Compensation. The Smiling Smug with the hands that never touched a shovel said "Well, somebody's got to make up the cash, it's just going to have to be the Consumers" .. Like he ever gave two shits about the well being of consumers. Watch as they give out another billion in year end bonus payments, and sneer at us Mere Peasants who dare to believe we shouldn't be ripped off. And they wonder why people throw airplanes at their buildings. I put "Ron Paul 2012" in the tags just because so many Tea Bag Morons are looking for it and it'll show up in their google search.
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,
Did you notice who are hosting the Steve Bach campaign signs?
Slumlords, Out-of-Business businesses with real estate signs from his Political Comrade Tim Leigh's company, foreclosed houses with the same... Way to GO! o ye non-elite Elitists! You crashed the economy of Colorado Springs and the entire world with your Mortgage Scams and now hope to be rewarded for such crimes by being given all the land in Colorado Springs and all the political power to spend the Peoples Money too. Your Ayn Rand-esque undeserved conceit would be more convincing if you actually WERE Better than other people, as your cartel claims to be. Tim Leigh, Princess Barbie, Sally Clark, Doug Bruce, you're a bunch of lying arrogant thieves and your major "achievement" appears to have been investing in Vulture Capitalism. You might as well have your signs hosted by Crack Houses, it would be a moral Step-up from where you're at now.
Geronimo and a Senate Committee on Stereotypes
Pursuant to the Operation Geronimo now shrouded in a cloud of "No, we aren't going to give you any evidence beyond our word" maneuver? Well, no. The committee hearing is on Racial Stereotyping as applied to American Indians and they HAD first dibs on naming rights, after the Chiricahua Apache and St Jerome (in Spanish it's Geronimo) of course, but definitely somewhere further up the line than the Navy SEALS assassination squad/highly organized lynching. At the time Geronimo was arrested on essentially Terrorism charges, not much was known about Apache sepulture, either rituals or where the graves went. But instead of burying him in Arizona, Mexico, New Mexico or Colorado, in an Apache ceremony, they buried him at Ft Sill OK. In the Apache (Prisoner Of War) section of the base cemetery. There's a couple of new legends come about, that the skull of the Skull and Bones society was his. Wouldn't surprise me at all. Folks who get a giggle from handling parts of dead humans would get an extra thrill from robbing an army Cemetery and the racist factor would make it even sweeter for them. There's an extra legend that representatives from some of the larger Apache Tribes, Chricahua, Mescalero, Jicarillo and White Mountain, re-buried him in a secret location. Which, really, at the time of his death, Apache rituals for burial were actually secret, and I've had no desire whatsoever to disrespect their customs by "digging around" asking rude questions. But from somewhere the now familiar refrain of "we don't want his followers making a shrine of his grave" was pulled out and he was buried in Ft Sill instead of New Mexico. There was a lawsuit against the United States Army and the Skull and Bones society filed in 2009 and dismissed LAST YEAR, seeking the return of the skull and bones so they could be returned to be reburied in New Mexico. On the 99th anniversary of Geronimo's death a group of 20 of the warrior's decendants sued the U.S. government, Skull and Bones and Yale in an attempt to rebury their ancestor's bones near his birthplace. In 2010 Judge Richard Roberts granted a Justice Department motion to dismiss the suit. Geronimo's relatives, he said, failed to establish that the government waived its right not to be sued. Roberts also dismissed the lawsuit against Skull and Bones and Yale, saying the plaintiffs cited a law that applies only to Native American cultural items excavated or discovered after 1990. Meaning. if you're Rich enough and have enough ties to the Officially Unofficial American Aristocracy, you can do with the bones of any Mere Peasant whatever the fuck you want. A Bush-appointed probably-skull-and-bones member, so-called "Justice" said so. The so-called "Justice Department" didn't want to investigate or prosecute the desecration of Indian graves, what a SURPRISE that was. Bunch of Racist Pricks. Maybe somebody should find out where Judge Roberts Momma is buried, dig her nasty mouldered ass out of the ground and chop THAT up, see how HE and the other Racist Pricks like THAT? I
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.
“Invest in America” speak-out at Lame-Bone’s Office Tomorrow
Instead of his lame-ass "town halls" like the Tea-Party ones he held for health care, remember those? The one at a Country Club on the far edge of town that started after the bus stopped running on a Friday evening, no more bus service till Monday morning? Working Class need not apply? Then they filled the hall with a Republican Party strategy session before the "open to everyone" Town Hall? And the Republicans stayed for the "open" Town Hall, making sure nobody else could come in? Yeah... THAT old Pig tactic. This Speak-out is outside his Luxury Office Suite, where anybody with a million-dollar annual income and a campaign contribution check has easy access. Again, Poor people, workers... need not apply. Unless the Punk can prove that he actually does own one square inch more of the streets and sidewalks than any other citizen, there ain't Jack they can do about it. Bring stereo equipment, something with microphones and amps. Make sure every TeaBag sellout who works for him can hear what the REAL people have to say. 10:30 tomorrow morning, Thursday 24 Feb 2011, at Doug Lamborns congressional district office in Colorado Springs. MoveOn.org is sponsoring, and this is an info blurb: In dozens of state legislatures and in Congress, Republicans are proposing massive cuts to education, police, emergency responders, and vital human services—instead of asking big corporations and millionaires to pay their fair share. This is a moment for national action, so we're holding Invest in America speak-outs tomorrow (Thursday) and will follow them up with rallies in all 50 state capitals on Saturday.
Hillary says “Free the internet from political control”
And neglects the NeuenRealpolitik of Corporate control of Politics in America and its vassal states, and the strange silence on her part about Net Neutrality, just, you know, allow Corporate Overlords to control every aspect of the Internet through"free" Market business decisions. As though the Internet wasn't developed at PUBLIC expense. Kind of like the Military are PUBLICLY funded institutions but somehow, all the profits from their Corporate Warfare go to the same very small group of very rich Thieves. AT&T, Microsoft, the "Baby Bells", IBM, Intel... they were very handsomely paid for their "contributions" to developing the Internet. But somehow, I just don't believe that their engineers, the ones who did all the work, got paid a double digit percentage (> = 10%) of the amount paid to the tiny minority of shareholders who own most of the shares. Remember Ross Perot? Made $20bn by having the GOVERNMENT provide the research, the recruitment and training of his Data Management team, the equipment to build "his" corporation, EDS... but it was "his" so-called leadership that was the most valuable asset. Even then, after he immediately sold the company for the aforementioned twenty thousand x a million dollars, fudges on his income tax. Oh, and it was to build the Social Security Medicare database, he being an outspoken critic of Non-Privatized Social Security. More recently, he got a fat cat contract, no bids, to provide the data management through the company he no longer officially owns, and his Country Club/Military Industrial Complex buddy former Gov. Bill Owens, the term "thick as thieves" applies here... to "manage" the Electronic Benefits Transfers... Medicaid and Food Assistance and AFDC and some very sore spots for Republicans, Child Protective Services... (Why do "conservatives" hate American kids?) When the system, no bid, patched together and really shoddy, experienced several hiccups during the first 6 months that cost Human Beings Their Irreplaceable Lives, Bill Owens laughed it off with a militaristic quote that it was like launching a new Aircraft Carrier, "you gotta run it for a wile to get all the bugs out of it." Ignore the fact that a carrier is designed to KILL large numbers of people. Basically, it's the notion that "Why should we let the lives of PEASANTS interfere with our profit margins?" Bill Owens has yet to answer for how much he made in kickbacks from EDS and his old friend Ross Perot. Hillary has yet to answer for how much she's making in kickbacks from AT&T, Comcast, Microsux etc over her effective blocking of Net Neutrality. But these are the flag-carriers for "freedom". And somehow in such a high position of moral authority that they can tell other countries what to do.
al Maliki says he’s quitting in ’14
Smelling death in the air I suppose. He said that one of the symptoms of lack of democracy is when the leader stays in power for thirty years. And I have to add, another symptom is if that government is propped up by the jack-booted Stormtroopers of a foreign Dictatorship.. He also made a grand gesture of giving half his salary back to "the people"... Just not, you know, redistributing any of that Blood Money that Halliburton pays him to launder the rest of the money they've stolen from Iraq and from the U.S.
Steve Bach, mayoral candidate…
"anti-establishment" but being heavily funded by the Real Estate thieves who make up the Establishment here in Colorado Springs. The Real Estate Thieves who were willing accomplices to the Mortgage Scam which broke our local economy, that of Colorado, that of the United States and of the entire world. The Real Estate Thieves who inherited the land grab, the baton passed from such murderous thieves as Carson, Custer, Palmer, Andrew Jackson even. The owners of the land still occupied it? Easy solution, exterminate them. Mass Murder, attempted GENOCIDE (but you bastards didn't get ALL of us, now did you?) Thieves like Zeb Pike who was on a mission to map out, for future conquest, this area which at the time wasn't under the sovereign rule of the United States, but instead under the King of Spain. Not much of an improvement either way, but even by Great White Father paternalistic dictatorship laws, it was prelude to Grand Theft. These Real Estate establishment are the ones who are backing him, his advertising budget now includes Television Ads and signs all over the city, the "Freedom Corporation" news outlets like the Gag-Zette backing his play, Fox News backing his play... But he's "anti-establishment". Start your campaign based on a lie, what are you going to build on it? More LIES? Also backing him are the "Strong Mayor" backers, who want to give even more dictatorial power into the hands of one person. Goons like Doug Bruce and Sallie Clark. Goons who take Publicly Funded police and use them in their for profit war against not poverty itself, but people who are impoverished, and visible. Goons like Lisa Czeladtko and Daniel Chacon who have made statements that the Parks and other Public entities, properties and institutions should be the Private Domain of the Very Rich, no "homeless" need apply. Homeless is an adjective, you would think people who promote English as the ONLY language of America would learn to speak it a little better. Used as a noun it strips the dignity and even the status of Child of God Human from the persons so afflicted. Many if not most, made into "the poor" or "the homeless" or whatever adjective-cum-noun is imposed on US by the policies of these same "maverick" (an unbranded steer) "rogue" and "renegade" Politicians who claim not to be Politicians. Set in stone Establishment Lackeys who claim to be Anti-Establishment. They only use the word "homeless" as an adjective when they refer to homeless PEOPLE as "the homeless PROBLEM". Further dehumanizing us. I've been homeless, ain't proud of it but there's not one reason to feel shame about it either. If people who make their money from theft or from enabling the thieves, like Chacon and Czeladtko and Rivera and Palin and Doug Bruce succeed in their goal of privatizing the entire economy of America,bring every last dime into their own bank accounts, they'll be creating more Homelessness. All in the name of Progress. Oh, Maverick, rogue and renegade... They've apparently forgotten those phrases' true origins. Maverick was a rancher in Texas. Open
Petition Sallie Clark not to groom Lisa Czeladtko city council campaign
Conflict of interest, anyone? County Commissioner is one of those "low paid" jobs in local government which pays off hugely in graft money, if one is so disposed to take advantage of that opportunity, by voting tax breaks, zoning laws (enforced at Public Expense) and other Pork-barrel subsidies for the actual paying business of the Commissioner. Quasi-legalized Grand Theft would be a better word for it. editorial note: There are lines even in Colorado Springs politics which should not be crossed. Such as paid representatives using their positions of power to influence elections. Sally Clark is an Earth-raping Fascist a Land Developer, part of the "in crowd" who destroyed the economy of the U.S., the entire planet and in particular Colorado Springs with their Ponzi-scheme federally subsidized Mortgage Ripoff. And who bought her position and vote not only as city council but as County Commissioner. Same as always Lisa Czeladtko is running for City Councilor of Colorado Springs Colorado. The status quo in Colorado Springs shows hatred toward victims of a poor local economy. Former Colorado Springs City Councilor and current El Paso County Commissioner Sallie Clark is the campaign manager for Lisa Czeladtko. Lisa Czeladtko has negatively criticized the New Life Church for having helped victims of a fallen economy in Acacia Park. Lisa Czeladtko has publicly demonized victims of a fallen economy. Sallie Clark is acting as her campaign manager while serving as El Paso County Commissioner. Sallie Clark must either resign as El Paso County Commissioner or resign as Lisa Czeladtko's Campaign Manager. Colorado Springs needs fair minded representatives on the City Council not those who express hatred toward toward people who were negatively affected by the downfall of the economy. Furthermore let this petition serve as a notice that the whole world is watching Colorado Springs There was a Richard Pryor movie long ago "Brewster's Millions: an American excess story" in which the question was put, of a mayoral candidate, "Why would anybody spend 30 Million dollars to get elected to a job that pays a hundred Thousand a year? Answer: because he can steal it back, with interest" While the campaign costs for City Council and County Commissioner here aren't that large, neither is the actual pay for those positions. Since every man jack and girl Jill on either board considers or at least calls him/her self a "conservative" and with business ethics which start and end with Profit At Whatever Moral Cost, that leads to a (yet another) wide-open all-you-can-steal-buffet publicly funded trough where the Rich can feed. Exact text of petition: Please Resign Greetings, We feel that your efforts to help Lisa Czeladtko win a seat onto the Colorado Springs City Council are with hatred toward the victims of a poor economy in the Colorado Springs Area. We the undersigned feel that it would be in the best interests of the people in the Colorado Springs and El Paso County Area if you resign as Lisa Czeladtko's Campaign Manager and/or El Paso County Commissioner [Your name] Of course my take on it remains unchanged The City of
Contaminants in the runoff water
Seems they predate the Homeless Camping debate by at least a decade. One of the problems that was present when the City and County of Pueblo sued Colorado Springs for fouling their water, e-coli. Seems Colorado Springs and Springs Utilities reached a plea-bargain mitigating the judgment against the Springs by making necessary repairs to the sewage system. This includes that bad ol' StormWater that the right wingsters keep whining about. The wastewater treatment facilities were overwhelmed on several levels, not the least of which were the BlowHard Extremists like Douglas Bruce not wanting to pay their bills. Have their cake, eat it too, and then have somebody else pay for the cake. The sewer system including the Storm Drains, which funnel water off the streets, which in turn are coated with an oily residue from the exhaust fumes. More cars, more pavement, more pollution and all of it running into a sewage treatment system last upgraded in the early 1960s. 50 years ago. More streets, more infrastructure added on, and each year the cost of the labor and the materials needed to build and maintain that infrastructure increasing, yet Doug Bruce and his dumbass Zombie Followers insist on only paying the bills in 1972 dollars. And screaming that increasing the fees necessary to maintain that infrastructure and build new infrastructure to accommodate those victims of the Real Estate Scam of "Pure Rocky Mountain Spring Water" moving to town and making the water somewhat less pure. Lethally less pure. Some of the impurities in Fountain Creek before the confluence with Monument Creek keep the smelly algae that makes Monument stink so bad from growing. Also any other algae, insect larvae, and amphibian newts, efts and tadpoles. N-Nitrosodimethylamine, likely sources:Industry, cosmetics, toiletry products, cleansers; by-product of natural chemical reactions. That's the one Springs Utilities admits is beyond EPA and drinking water safety bounds. Chemicals they say are in "safe amounts" Barium, Bromodichloromethane Chlorodibromomethane Chloroform Fluoride Hexachlorocyclopentadiene Nitrates Radium, Combined 226 228 Sodium, Turbidity (muddiness) Uranium Chlorine Maloacetic Acids Trihalomethanes Coliform (bacteria) E-Coli (the coliform bacteria they're blaming on the Homeless People, before that it was the pigeons in Manitou Springs) Copper Lead A lot of the "possible sources of contamination" listed are Erosion of native deposits. Erosion hastened by destroying topsoil, uprooting native plants, GRADING FOR ROADS, COMMERCIAL AND HOUSING CONSTRUCTION, MINING, QUARRYING, DRILLING, TIMBER CLEARING, OFF-ROAD "RECREATIONAL" VEHICLE USE For instance, there's at least one defunct copper mine just outside Manitou Springs city limits that drains directly into Fountain Creek. When you pull ONE metal out of the earth, it's not in pure form, ever, is it, O Right Wing Mining Geniuses Who Think I Can't Possibly Know Anything? Nay verily. It is NOT pure and some of those impurities are other metals. Toxic metals like Uranium, White Arsenic, Sodium in many forms including Sodium Cyanide, Mercury, Lead, Copper, ooops that's one they INTENDED to pull out oopsie my bad. Petrochemicals, mountaintop removal for extracting ANY mineral including coal releases chemicals into the waters that have recently been shown to cause a hormonal mutation in small-mouth bass where the male fish develop with
Twin Towers “christian mecca” according to Idolatrous TeaTards
I'd been hearing that for the past (few) years from preachers, one of my pastors, gone almost thirty years now called them "Hellevangelists" but they've been saying that the Twin Towers were attacked because they were a religious symbol of Christian America. False. They were a trade exposition, a massive mall where you could stop at the International equivalent of Yankee Candle and buy an entire nations economic output, then stroll over to Starbucks and buy Ethiopian Coffee... ALL of it. The "Moneychangers in the Temple" story leaps to mind. Only instead of the Temple being turned into a marketplace and den of thieves, the Den of Thieves has been posthumously turned into The Temple. But what are they worshiping in the Temple of Money? Newt Gingrich made minor headlines declaring that the Towers were America's Christian Mecca. His preachers convinced him, I guess. I guess he'll also be happy to know that they've been given the Divine Anointing of Prophecy to say where the Million Pounds Of Iraqi Nerve Gas are Hidden and of course where and how to find Osama bin Hidin' They don't, however, play up their differences in where exactly those locations are. One faction says that the WMDs are in Syria. Another holds that they're hidden in a secret vault built under the middle of the Euphrates River, and yet another that they're in a similar secret vault under the Tigris. Sarah Palin said she had been given a divine word as to where they, and Osama, are hidden, but she'd only reveal it IF the McCain Failin' ticket won the election. Yet, saying she knows the secrets to win the war but will only reveal them if SHE is in power, that's supposed to be "patriotism". And then says she never claimed to be anointed by God to lead us. Newt Gingrich is so confused that he probably believes each version of those stories, but not the versions that say bin Laden hasn't been seen in 8 years, the U.S. Government used somebody else's picture and claimed it was a computer generated Age Progression and the "Terrorist Training Camps" they STILL show in their Hate-speech Videos (like the "Obsession" video they mailed out in a FAILED attempt to keep their Hate-speech Geezer/Bimbo ticket from taking such a Texas-sized Ass Whuppin') you know the ones, showing armed "Ay-rabs" running obstacle courses, doing monkey-bar exercises, firing machine guns at a well-established-and-suspiciously-American-looking-firing-range? Yeah. The U.S. and British and French and NATO armies have been crawling over Afghanistan like an infestation of roaches and termites for EIGHT YEARS and haven't come up with a location of those camps. But Newt will believe the pictures of the Armed Ay-rabs doing exercises in permanently placed gymnastics equipment and firing ranges even though they've never been seen outside of the "al Qa'eda" training and recruitment films. How much would you like to bet that those videos were taken at the SOA on Ft Benning, Georgia, of Taliban and other Muhajideen troops being trained for battle against the
