Now a great commentary dedicated to dissecting the war mongers of the fallen to the Right… ‘Left’. Article titled- Why Humanitarian Interventionism is a Dead End- Beware the Anti-Anti-War Left
So I guess Killing Civilians isn’t either.
Naturally it was the fault of the civilians themselves for living in the middle of a War Zone, obviously they asked God or Allah or the Great Gazzoo beforehand to be born into the poorest place on earth and the middle of a land coveted for millennia by so many Empires for its strategic location.
I bet it will make the usual War-Mongers in town, the ones who say they gave me the right to say this so I’d “goddam better shut my pie hole about it” Really Happy to know that some of the “Terrorists” executed without trial or even charges in this airstrike were Kids.
All Hail the Empire! The Emperor Knows Best!
And according to a “liberal” friend from Arizona it’s “Crazy” to say anything different.
I would think that they’re just kidding, but apparently they believe it’s “winnable”. These would be the same ones who believed that VietNam, Iraq, and Afghanistan would have been “cakewalks” if it hadn’t been for those Liberal sentiments of fair play or at least an actual respect for basic human laws.
Maybe they could do us all a massive favor and take their ill-gotten gold out of their banks or other stash places, buy a plane With Their Own God-Damn Money Instead Of Ours, for a change and parachute out over Teheran with dynamite vests? Maybe we could bribe the pilots to drop them off on Diego Garcia, which is de-facto a U.S. Navy target range.
Why Teheran, exactly, even though it’s not actually in Pakistan? Simple. It’s right in the middle of their demented plans and really, there’s a large portion of the Muslim people they despise so badly in every surrounding country, there’s 80 million more Muslims in India than in Iran, just for instance.
If the loudmouth Socially Retarded Animated Sphincters want to embark on another DOOMED Crusade, at least they could be removed from any further possibility of polluting the gene pool. And quickly.
With odds like that, and two of the countries, India and Pakistan, armed with Nuclear Weapons, the odds wouldn’t be any better if the full might of the United States Military were backing them, might as well let the Really Stupid Loudmouths do what they want… oh… that’s right… they’re in the league of and including Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Sarah Palin, George Bush, The Entire Bush and Cheney families in fact,
CHICKENHAWKS who will send Other People to do their fighting in the wars they provoke.
I just DON’T believe that even a measurable percentage of the Dumb-shit Chicken Hawks who want to expand “their” War like that would ever be in battle.
Until the U.S. PEOPLE they exploit get sick of it and drag them from their castles and summarily execute them on their front lawns.
Hang them from their own trees in their own immaculately maintained (by Other People’s Labor, as usual) gardens by their own intestines while they’re still alive.
Tony wrote a piece about the ambiguous nature of prosecution in America, a DA can decline to prosecute anybody, or so it seeeeeeeems and somebody felt it amusing to write in offering to have sex with him.
On the other hand, this month a Mass Murderer is coming to Colorado Springs with warrants for his arrest on war crimes…
And the CSPD are going to protect him as usual and the “Christian” leaders are going to give his coward ass a medal, and the District Attorney is going to stand ready to prosecute anybody who disrupts the disgusting worship of Babykilling.
And any so-called “Impartial” Judge in the state will join right in and “impartially” find him guilty before the “Impartial” hearing starts, and if the fellow is REALLY unfortunate he’ll have to depend on the “Public Pretender” defense attorney who actually works for the same prosecution/police state the Judge and cops and District Attorney work for.
The same Power Cartel who, under the leadership of such coward scumsuckers as George Bush and Sarah Palin and with the support of the Blasphemers at Colorado Springs Christian School and many others, also make war on people whose nations aren’t legally under their control, like Iraq.
Thursday: 1 US Soldier, 4 Iraqis Killed; 15 Iraqis Wounded, Friday: 31 Iranians, 8 Iraqis Killed; 300 Iranians, 21 Iraqis Wounded (The Bu’ush Regime now “led” by Obama is repeating the crimes of Bush The Elder and Ronald Reagan in using the now-conquered Iraqi Puppet Government as proxies to make war on Iran, typical courage of the WarMongers, they won’t put their OWN nasty sorry lives in jeopardy nor do any of their own dirty work. Even the American soldiers are their Slave-Proxies)
All the dying and killing done to prop up the so-called “Free” Market Capitalist Dictatorship.
Capitalism won’t stand on its own merits, it requires forced participation from everybody, especially those of us who DON’T benefit from it.
Maybe the CSCS people can get some Dead Babies shipped in from Iraq or Iran or from the Capitalist Success Story Nations like Costa Rica, there’s plenty to be had. Serve them up as party favors, skewered on bayonets just the way they like them.
Why not, O ye hypocrites at CSCS? You punk-ass murdering BITCHES eat babies every day and more than just figuratively.
Erik Prince, the Prince of Blackwater, the “Christian” warrior who is accomplice to Mr Bush’s Murder Spree, can get some of his Babykilling Mercenary Punk Employees to ship them in on ice. Probably you prefer them with that three-days gon Dead Baby aroma and flavor though, so you can skip the ice part.
Hey, it wouldn’t be anything new for you. I am certain that there will be those “christians” here in the springs or maybe (since it IS the “world wide” web) halfway around the world who will object to my characterization of you babykillers as babykillers.
You can offer up the mealtime “christian” prayer for them, how bout it, Patchsi, Janis, Publius, Princess Lisa Czeladtko, Sallie Clark? Bet you whores are going to be at the worship festival for the murderous lying coward thief “Hero” right?
Indulge in the fruits of Capitalist War and Conquest as though you had earned every morsel.
The DA and every “impartial” judge in town will be there feasting on rotted human corpses as well.
Oh, yeah, the invocation of Grace at your sacrificial table.
“Good bread, good meat, good God, let’s eat!”
You can pretend that each dead baby you’re served is the Baby Jesus too. Why the HELL not? You’ve served Satan so long covertly maybe it would be refreshing for you to serve his royal badness openly.
You can end up the days blasphemous worship by having sex with your mommas on the banquet table. Instead of privately at home like usual.
one of the inconsistencies was on his Federal Tax he posted more money given to “charities” than he took in income. Even counting the RepubliCan’t and TeaTard definition of “charity” to include buying guns for the MinuteMurder Militias, organizing Astroturf Roots Parties, and then taking it all off their income tax thereby forcing HONEST people to subsidize their political pleasures…
Glenn Beck, for instance, “donating” at taxpayer expense a painting that looked like he rented a chimp to do it, for AT LEAST $3400 off his own taxes and a matching $3400 off the taxes of one of his Demented Disciples, for the U.S.O. to provide services which he and his Fellow ChickenHawks advocated cutting from the military budget while creating the need for those services by advocating Wars of corporate conquest based purely on LIES.
This is the same type of ripoff that Mr Bruce pulled.
Jackoffs get paid by the Taxpayers to make themselves look good, so they can call themselves “Tax Heroes” and get really stupid people to support them with more money.
Beck and O’Reilly and Limbaugh and the rest of the Korporate Klown Kartel at Fox get paid to promote the wars. They make 100% of their income promoting the For Profit Police State and Corporate Wars.
Now, here’s one I found “interest”ing. $17000 dollars from interest on a loan scam.
When I worked construction (labor) I usually received minimum wage, which the Republicans made sure stayed at 3.35 an hour for 12 long years.
After that I was so badly disabled I didn’t make even that. Right To Work Laws, another of Mr Bruce’s favorite tax-deductible “charities”.
But in my best year I got about 15,000 dollars and that was working my ass off, ten and twelve hour days and weekends. Something Mr Bruce nor any of his TeaBag confederates would never deign to do, set their carefully manicured Corporate Hands to actual WORK.
And the cheap slumlord son-of-a-goat-and-a-whore took a tax-free bonus of that much plus another couple of grand. And claims he “works for the common man”. LIAR.
So, what happens when we do WORSE than behead somebody? Say, for instance, gut-shoot a third-world person knowing full well that the only place in town which can treat an abdominal wound is a hospital associated with whatever torture regime we’re propping up, or a US Military Hospital who will patch the dude up and then turn him over to somebody like the Saigon Torture Regime? Which is what these rifles were designed for doing. Not for a humane quick kill.
The AR series, including the most infamous of all the M16A1 and its assorted A numbers derived therefrom, was designed specifically to gut-shoot. The bullet-barrel-powder combination was ordered so that it would cause massive rips inside the intestines with a very small entry wound. Until Dr Joseph Lister discovered a way to use antiseptic surgical techniques, a gut wound was an automatic death sentence. A slow, painful one that could last days. The theory behind the AR series is that in Third World countries, the Guerrilla Theater, (guerrilla is the Spanish word for “little war” not the fighter therein, A common misuse of the word) the fighters with a comrade so afflicted had a very few nasty choices. Take their wounded comrade with them, slowing them down so the Army would have an easier time capturing or exterminating them, killing him, or leaving him to be captured and his life saved long enough to be turned over to the Torture Regime.
We had a candidate for president in the last election, an Admiral’s Kid naviy pilot who was most famous for being a screwup, protected by his daddy’s rank.
Wrecked his third Very Expensive U.S. killer aircraft and the DRVN government took him prisoner. Technically, what he and his fellow pirates err Pilots were doing was an act of terrorism, not a war crime per se because nobody from either the Hanoi government, the Saigon government or the U.S. government had ever formally declared war. It was on the level of 9/11 only using more planes and the killers, instead of dying to accomplish their deeds, would fly back to their carriers or their bases in Thailand or Singapore, neither of which had ever declared war, have a steak dinner, get drunk at the O club and congratulate each other on what brave pirates err Pilots they were. The DRVN claimed to have shot him down, but with his flight record the notion that they were exaggerating sounds plausible.
He was given Prisoner Of War Status. The Viet Minh “cong” soldiers were not given such status. McCain bitches a whole lot about the treatment he received as a prisoner, but never once mentions that the prisoners in South VietNam were treated even worse. By the same legal traditions and conditions the U.S. Puppet government in Saigon used, the DRVN could have just as easily executed them as terrorists. Saigon did it routinely, with the help of the U.S.
The U.S. Army said they didn’t torture prisoners, which is bullshit, but let’s go with their Official Position. They merely turned them over to the ARVN forces who tortured and executed them.
The DRVN might not have had pure motives in declaring the Non-War criminals like McCain to be POWs. Probably didn’t. The double and treble and quadruple standards exercised in that non-“war” war were rife on all sides, The U.S. hasn’t had a pure, unbroken record for treating prisoners humanely, the term “Concentration Camp” was invented for US POW camps in the Spanish-American war. Just an observation.
So, yeah. Call me when WE behead somebody.
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 Laden within 6 weeks.
Wouldn’t HIS Whoremasters actually want him to deliver on such a project? Or would it be too high profile a guaranteed failure for them?
More helicopters, more soldiers, more domestic violence, more social ills, more crime, more rape, more injuries, death, PTSD, birth defects, cancer, medical ailment “syndromes,” suicide, homelessness, all conclusively linked to war. You don’t even have to have the IQ to admit Global Warming to make the connections about the cost of war. Colorado Springs is already bankrupt from war business “prosperity” but Representative Lamborn thinks we should pay a higher price.
First, connoisseurs of the history of Jesus would know that He was born in a barn. Nothing about flying reindeer, dancing snowmen, or a huge elf.
Or trees. There was a little bit of Grinchiness this year on the part of the U.S. Forest service, because of the global warming, the massive swarm of pine bark beetles that spawned, and the weakened conditions of the trees due to warmer temperatures and less water. One of the largest sections of Christmas Tree Harvesting the White River National Forest
Not, of course, going to affect COMMERCIAL tree-slaughter anytime soon, because the Timber companies have a big lobby and some impressive corporate ties to even MORE corporate lawyers and lobbyists. And they don’t give three shits about whether there’ll be forests in 50 years. Greedy Bastards is just a good start at describing them and the list gets uglier from there.
Then there’s the Christmas Tree in Abu Dhabi, UAE. at The Emirates Hotel. 45 feet tall and crusted with 14 MILLION dollars worth of ornaments. Ornaments like watches, necklaces, bracelets, rings… Everything to tickle the fancy of your average Corporate Traveler.
Remember the Corporate Partners of the tree-killing industry?
Like the Oil industry….
screams of the wounded men,
writhing in pain.
Details work day and night
burying the slain..
all their murders done
in Christ’s Holy Name,
Jesus looks down, and He weeps…
Jesus looks down
and He weeps.
Ok, so that story bugs me every year, they tell it ad nauseum, about the British and Germans taking a couple of hours break from slaughtering each other, in the name of God, at the battle of the Somme. From the German trenches comes the melody “Stillich Nacht, Heilig nacht” Then some Tommies in their trenches start singing it in English, more Germans and more Englischers join in…
An impromptu Christmas party just congeals in the middle of No Man’s Land. They sing songs, exchange gifts, show pictures of their families to one another…
And then go right back to slaughtering each other.
As you may have guessed, it’s time for my annual Christmas on War uncelebration. I go to fetch my e-mail, there’s a flash animation of a black Jeep SUK involved in a battle, a dual advertisement because they’re also hawking a video “game” called Call of Duty – BlackOps. where the mission apparently is to go in and assassinate as many locals as possible and kidnap their leaders to take them to a CIA dungeon for torture. It’s made into a Triple Offense because they’re hawking the SUV and the game, As Christmas Presents
Happy birthday to the Prince of Peace.
Other war toys and Murder Fantasy movies and video games dominate the Must-have list for the Red-suit Elf and his flying reindeer to bring to your kids.
The money changers have bought out the Temple and have reduced Christ to just another sales gimmick. What next, have that lizard from the car insurance commercial lying in a manger?
and the DumFox Noose Nutwerx is still piling on their bullshit about a “War on Christmas”. While following the marketing trend of having soldiers, in foreign countries to kill the citizens of those lands and take the resources of those lands, send “home” video Christmas greetings from Outer VietRaquiStan, as part of the heartwarming Christmas commercials showing people engaged in Traditional Christmas activities like unwrapping the Monster-Huge Screen TeeVee and other gifts too expensive for the regular American to buy.
Merry freakin’ Cashmas Christless Crassness
Who knows? Gary Faulkner will undoubtedly get more Due Process from Colorado’s courts (Go ahead, Gary, THANK us “bleeding heart do-gooder Liberals” for not just turning over Due Process meekly and without protest to your Fascist Whore-lords) than he was willing to give Osama bin Dead_for_8_years.
Which is more to the point, but if the un-named by reporters female who was alleged to have been assaulted by him (and given more than one injury) is his wife and he did smack her around, Mrs Faulkner, forget that life insurance policy you’re waiting to collect, ditch his crazy ass. It ain’t worth it, baby.
Meanwhile, he made some cryptic statements back in June about “Wait until August, then you’ll see”. August ended a month and a half ago and the most anybody has said about Osama is that stupid faked up picture the F.B.I. tried to push off on the rest of the world.
And an admission, once it was shown to be a retouched picture of a Spanish member of parliament, that they don’t have a single picture of Osama from anytime in the last 8 years.
Almost 9 years now. So, Mr Stupid Crazoid Faulkner, how the hell were you intending to know if the “ay-rab towel head sand-nigger” you would have ended up murdering was in fact Osama bin Laden? The God-Damned Freakin’ Bureau Of Incompetence DOESN’T EVEN KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE but YOUR stupid ass was going to commit murder in the Tribal Autonomous Region,
and then run around like an idiot with some vague idea that the lying-ass United States departments of State, Defense and Justice were going to back you up on it? The Pathans would have been parading your pin-sized head on a stake for a week after your very short trial.
That’s just on the very off chance that Gary Faulkner will read this or more likely have one of his Responsible Grown-ups read it for him.
For his fan club who think it was a good idea, and who get all their information on Islam, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Arabs, other Muslims (an Arab would stand out like a sore thumb in Afghanistan or Pakistan, like a Guatemalan tribal leader would in Berlin) consider this, o ye Expert Ones… your Expert Psycho-Social Profile Experts like Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck, neither of whom know the least little thing about Islam, don’t know any Muslim PEOPLE, don’t speak read or write Arabic, or Hebrew, or Aramaic, or any of those other Religious Languages they claim to be Authorities therein…
According to the Profile Osama bin Laden is a glory-hound who wants his own name on everybody’s lips and wants the entire world to recognize him as a great Religious and Political Super-Leader.
Wouldn’t you think, just maybe, that a glory-hound like that might want to have his verified picture taken regularly? If, that is, he were still alive?
It seems to me, you know, that as long as they can hold up a picture or other representation of the Bogus Boogieman Osama the Corporate “leaders” can continue to collect huge amounts of money with their own very expensive to us but costs them NOTHING “hunt for Osama” and “Global War on Terror” and they can also use stupid people like Gary Faulkner to draw attention from their own very serious ongoing Crime Spree. Kind of like the Myth of Goldberg from the novel 1984 by Eric Blair pen name Orwell.
Faulkner, dude…
You’re lucky that the actual Pakistani military caught up to you first.
Now the Colorado police have rescued you a second time.
So let’s recap.
The people who are in charge of putting out the propaganda don’t know even if Osama bin Laden is actually alive, and do know he’s probably been dead for more than 8 years.
The pictures of him training at and training others at Paramilitary Bases in Afghanistan, those bases look suspiciously like U.S. Army bases and don’t exist anywhere in Afghanistan.
Osama might be just as mythical a construct as those bases.
The “Experts” who tell us otherwise are largely Actors like Bill O’Reilly, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, who are paid to read propaganda provided to them by people who might or maybe not believe the lies they tell the DumFoxers to pass along. And Rudi Giuliani, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Huckabee, all of them supposed to be “Experienced” in fighting Terrorism, all of them actually Chickenhawks, none of whom served in the Military, and the closest one to having experienced Terrorism would be Giuliani whose claim to expertise involves him getting skunked twice in the same location allegedly by the same group. No proof of Osama there.
Also each and every one of those lying Chickenshit jackasses have made the claim that there’s a million pounds of Nerve Gas hidden by Saddam Hussein.
It instead leeches off Tax-supported Publicly paid enterprises like the Army and Police agencies, not coincidentally the only agencies they want to be continued to have Public Funding…Allow the wealthiest to not pay taxes on money they obtained through blatantly aggressive Government Interventions in the so-called “free” markets by using publicly funded Soldiers to take over any of the competing trade partnerships aka “Sovereign Nations” by extreme violence or the threat thereof.
The Ayn Rand worshipers wouldn’t be able to obtain the agricultural and mineral riches of MesoAmerica by their own machinations, even were they willing (unlike the huge majority of their favorite Mouthpieces like Reagan, Bush, John Wayne, Limbaugh, Coulter, Malkin, O’Reilly, Beck etc … chickenhawks on parade) to use their OWN physical presence and risk their OWN worthless parasitic lives to do so. Their “superior” Invisible Hand of the “free” market wasn’t in any way capable to take over even ONE nation, even the Stone-age technology nations they much more than decimated (decimated means taking only ten percent off, and the slaughter left alive more like 7%, more than NINE TIMES mere decimation) first through disease and then through violence using “superior” technologies against, again, Stone Age peoples.
The Pilgrims and Puritans they worship as being Godlike Beings had Publicly Funded armies and navies behind them when they conquered the Northeastern U.S., not exactly Daniel Boone Striding Alone Into The Wilderness… (he was slightly more than a century later and even he, brave though he might have been, had the British Army backing him up. Even if they weren’t sharing his camp)
All that Publicly funded conquest is the basis for American Wealth but even the Rich White-boy so-called “Founding Fathers” weren’t willing to pay the rent on the Soldiers and Equipment used to gain their financial base.
They’re not willing to pay the workers and even their own Corporate Partners who provide the construction and maintenance of the infrastructure, dams, water treatment, roads, that they would need to continue gaining their wealth.
With “no new taxes” but plenty of new construction, at Public Expense and the most immediate benefit from that construction going to the “no taxes” manipulators and their mouthpieces like Doug Bruce and Tom Tancredo they say, literally,
“We want you to sell us your labor, and your materiel, for a minuscule fraction of what it costs you to produce it, and if you don’t give us what we want we’ll have the Publicly Paid tax-supported Army and Police force you to comply, just like they did and still do in all the other Conquered Territories which pay THEIR tributes into our ‘free’ Market system”
They’re treating American workers the way they’ve treated the forced-labor of every “lesser” economy in the World, again, using the Fascist “freedom fighters” in the Police and Military, private and public to force us to comply the same way the “Operation Iraqi Freedom” PIGS force the Iraqi people to comply with their Corporate Whore-lords.
Again, just like the Tea-Bag and other Right Wing Terrorist Extremists, threatening violence to bring us their interpretation of “Liberty”. Meaning, the freedom to obey Their Masters. They’re even using money “donated” by Foreign Governments, some of them ROYALTY to buy our votes in the upcoming election, which would place a theoretical Rubber Stamp of approval on their machinations.
Imagine that, the “Tea Party Patriots” and the “Minutemen”, recreating the days when the Landed Aristocracy like Washington and Adams and Paine gulled the Stupid Peasants to fight for them against other landed aristocracy from the mother country of England who in turn, using public tax resources, relied on the Working Class to fight the battles their Prissy ChickenHawk “Elite” noblemen wouldn’t fight for themselves.
History repeating itself to the extreme of Tea Party candidates being funded by the Royal Family…
Of GODDAMN ENGLAND and the Royal Houses of Europe, inbred from the times of their first establishments at the time of the Crusades, thoroughly useless Social and Economic PARASITES, and Kings they set in power like the UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the “democracies” Israel and Egypt and Turkey, worshipers of the Tsar (the last one of whom was the grandson of Queen Victoria of Guess Which British Empire) in Russia, all of them bankrolling Tea Bag candidates like Ken Buck and Dan Maes, across the country, candidates who say they represent the Working Class. Some of them pretend to be Working Class themselves.
Lying cowardly sellout Corporate Whores is what they truly are. They’re hoping that we’ll be stupid enough to give them a poorly informed, badly misinformed Carte Blanche (French: Blank Warrant, Blank Check) to steal what’s left of the wealth of America.
They’re barely pretending to be Capitalists anymore, they’re not wanting to invest in building a base for “their” industries.
When they say on one side of their face that they want to Build Jobs and create wealth (but the Jobs and Wealth are separate, guess which part of the pair goes to the Elitist Pricks like Buck and Tancredo?) and then say blatantly that the Rich aren’t going to have to pay for the roads, hospitals, clean water etc that “their” (ahem) “Workforce” (notice, they don’t even distinguish us as humans) need to accomplish the tasks they’re setting for us.
If they’re actually going to have “their” (ahem) Workforce produce anything it will be like the story in Exodus of the Pharaoh demanding a higher quota of brick production and demanding that the workers themselves obtain the materials at their own expense to meet the quota.
What got me started on this offering was a TV show on at midnight, only lasted (from my perspective, because the channel got changed quickly) for about two minutes. The show was about 9/11 survivors. One of them said “That’s the difference between America and everybody else… in America when there’s 
great tragedy and danger people band together and help each other out”. So that means the only people on the entire surface of the planet where people actually have Human Feelings is in America, and everybody else is incapable of actual humanity. Subhumans in other words. Nothing Racist about that? No Religious bigotry either, like when a Muslim preacher orating at a funeral says the deceased is in Paradise, that’s supposedly cold-hearted brainwashing and encouraging the other members of the congregation to do suicide bombings.
When a sold-out Christian Priest, military OR civilian, says that a fallen American soldier is in Heaven, that’s of course not anything to do with glorifying the war that killed the soldier or saying that the cause was just, and righteous, and ordained by God, is it?
Especially when so many of these Sold-out Priests actually DO come right out and say that their version of Jihad/Crusade really IS just, righteous, ordained by God… A “Holy” War in other words.
The Anti-Islam Pro-Holy War Media break out a doll allegedly given to Palestinian kids with bombs, guns, swords and other knives, with a faction-specific headscarf identifying the doll as being Hamas.
and of course, like the funerary eulogy, is “brainwashing the kids to become suicide bombers” while the U.S. version thereof, pictured here, is NOT brainwashing the kids to be Fighter Pilots, Bomber Pilots, Drone Manipulators, Marines, Soldiers and Seamen who use large numbers of heavily armed comrades and high tech weaponry to Kill People using guns, bombs, knives and torture techniques applied to handcuffed prisoners… because, of course, the High-Tech weaponry makes the notion of a Suicide Bomber unnecessary.
If other people who don’t have access to a Drone that can be launched from a heavily guarded air force base and controlled by some Coward Punk Uniformed Child sitting at a desk at an air base in Nebraska, use the more “hands on” approach to delivering their ordinance, then THEY are the cowardly ones, right?
Teaching uniformed children to use weapons and military techniques and tactics is of course a strictly un-American concept, because we would NEVER do that, including not teaching our kids to use the same skills they would need to manipulate Drone Robot Bombs into the living space of other Human Beings with the purpose of Killing The Other Human Beings, by remote control…
No, that’s the province of Other People.
When an American Child is killed violently, usually the violence either accidental or deliberate occurs in America.
Since by most counts the U.S. majority is White and Christian, that means that the majority of both Victims and Victors would be Christian Whites.
Unless you have the silly-ass notion that American Christian Whites don’t ever commit violent crimes.
Until the insertion, forcibly, of the Killer Kristian Krusade into Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq, most violent contact between people in the regions would by default be by other Iraqi, Afghan or Pakistani citizens. “Killing their own people” is the screeching denunciation launched against every Muslim on the planet by Professional Lying Crybabies, like the Pentagon Media Liaisons and their largely unacknowledged Killer Kreep Komrades at FOX and AP and BBC “news” Outlets.
So where is the outcry, whither the screams of loud lamentation, over American White Christians in America “killing their own people”?
Oh, that’s right, it’s all from the “discredited” Radical Left. And of course disproved, even though the facts are obvious, simply because a Leftist writes about it.
And of course wouldn’t reflect on the patent dishonesty or Moral Cowardice of the Radical Right.
Nor would their myths that AFDC, Food Assistance and Medicaid go mostly to Black Americans, when the fact is that White Americans, simply being in the majority, depend more heavily on these “entitlement” programs.
Since RICH Americans are in the tiniest minority and people living below the poverty line are the Vast Majority.
“Average” income and “Median” income don’t mean “half the people in the country make that much or above”.
That would take some Algebra, true, but it’s basic algebra. Anybody who plays checkers or dominoes or any card game knows the basic math to work out that 85% of the wealth being controlled by 5% of the population means there’s 95% of the population would control only 15% of the wealth. In order for a middle class to even exist would mean that the “underclass” those of us “subhumans” who don’t make anywhere near Median Income, is the true Majority.
But it’s only Racial, religious and ethnic minorities who have Public Assistance. Which counts for less than half the Federal Budget. According to the Hate-Mongers.
They also have a myth that Federal Prisoners get food stamp and AFDC benefits. Ronald Reagan, GHW Bush and Newt Gingrich made a campaign issue of it, and actually won. So did “libertarian hero” Ron ‘not really a racist but i play one on TV’ Paul.
And the REAL Welfare Payout, to the “defense” Contractors, is more than half the budget, and going to a tiny minority of the people in the country.
The ones who fund the Hate-Speech Demagogues like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck and Ron Paul to tell us that Black and Hispanic people on public assistance is what’s breaking the budget.
And incite more Racially Motivated Wars, too, so they can keep their “defense” industry sponsors’ snouts firmly in the trough.
And if Americans of any ethnic, religious, racial or political subculture, get killed in the process, that of course isn’t Anti-American violence, because of course, the Tea Party and other Ku Klux Klown groups have reserved for themselves the right to say who is or is not a “Real” American. People of Ethnic, Religious or Political Difference to the Tea Party “mainstream” need not apply.
Thanks to Friend Tony for pointing out that people who don’t believe the Official Story of 9/11 is actually valid, are so stupid that we don’t merit being read, listened to or answered. This makes somewhere around a hundred times he’s made this comment, after listening to or reading them.
I guess it should be pointed out AGAIN some of the many reasons why the Official Story needs some serious questioning. One is the cult like nature of the Resistance Movement Against Questioning The Official High Priests Of 9/11. Such as the Congressionally appointed commission which was stacked top to bottom with people who reaped enormous profit from touting the official story. War Contractors top the list. Political Hacks whose only chance to survive is by groveling to the War Contractors and taking the bribes offered by said Daddy Warbucks types. Hacks like Bush, and Palin, and Daddy Warbucks types who are ALSO Political Hacks.
Cheney, North, Rupert Murdoch and his cast and crew of Paid Professional Liars, which now includes Sarah Palin.
Then there are people who have only one purpose, one drive to continue life… Hatred. People like Pamela Geller. There’s some crossover with the War Contractors and Political Hacks on that score as well, Michelle Malkin leaps to mind.
The biggest thing about any and all of these people who either demand that we not question Their Sacred 9/11 Gospel of Hate, lest they brand us as Non-Americans. Which, you know, when enough of the Anti-American Terrorists like the re-branded Ku Klux Klowns of the Tea Party catch somebody whom they’ve declared to be “Not a REAL American” out alone and helpless, extra heavy on the helpless, they can get really vicious. Killing Vicious.
Alternated with mocking anybody who questions them or points out their dangerous behavior problems, like Murder, Arson, Aggravated Assault… those type of things, must be “stupid” or “Crazy” or some other version of “not able to think rationally nor intelligently”.
And all this from people who either consistently Lie about just anything they open their cake-holes to spew, deliberately and with full knowledge that they’re lying, or the Disciples of their 9/11 Official Story Cult, apparently some of them unable to tell that the most blatant lies are in fact lies,… but most of them too Morally Chickenshit, lacking the courage to face those Lies and call them Lies.
The proponents of the 9/11 Official Gospel also told us that there were Training Camps in Afghanistan, camps which, after almost 9 years of continuous occupation by United States and allied armies, have never actually been found.
The million pounds of Nerve Gas supposedly in Iraq.
Supposedly moved around an urban population center, Baghdad, by underpaid, underfed, undereducated, undertrained and badly demoralized Teenage Conscripts who had no training in handling Nerve gas, often only a half-hour ahead of U.N. Weapons Inspectors… without one single accident.
The United States, which has more stockpiled Nuclear, Biological and Chemical weapons than the rest of the world combined, stores “our” Nerve Gas in climate controlled, heavily guarded, monitored, stationary locations. They don’t move the shit around, ever. And there are still leaks, accidents, sometimes fatal.
I’ll have to remind the deliberately Slow types that these wonderful Disinformation Packages were provided by the same Lying Sources who back up the Official Myth about 9/11.
These same sources tell us, constantly, that Osama bin Laden, hiding in a cave somewhere, is directing world-wide terror plots. They offer us recordings of what’s reported to be his voice. Which were questioned by other people with considerable expertise in voice analysis. They’re just not the Officially Approved experts.
That stamp of Not Officially Approved means, to the simplest and most churlish of the Cult of the 9/11 Official Gospel, that they must be either Stupid or Crazy.
Again, sources, sources, sources.
The Officially Approved Experts, while acknowledging that Osama bin Laden hasn’t actually been seen for 8 and a half years, therefore they have no actual pictures of him freshly taken, created with what they SAID was sophisticated FBI Approved Expert Age Progression Analysis. Aided by computer software, a Picture of somebody they claimed was Osama. But instead was a photoshopped picture of a Spanish Politician. One who, just by mere coincidence, mind you Opposed the wars.
Which throws into question every case the FBI has “solved” using this non-existent Age Progression Technology.
There have been, from the same sources from which springs the Official 9/11 Gospel, prosecutions of people who could not possibly be guilty, including a group of street people in Miami who, though penniless, offered to blow up the Sears Tower, blow up “the dam at Lake Toronto” wherever the Hell that is and thus flood downtown Chicago. And to travel the country putting poison in Salt Shakers at diners. That prosecution was “successful”.
And the same liars who told us that, told us the Official Gospel of 9/11. The faked bomb plots, resolved in the nick of time by the brave, dedicated and above all Not Professional Liars in the Police State Appparati whose jobs would be in jeopardy if Americans don’t believe their story line.
Lie after Constant Lie, and we’re supposed to believe their version of events or be judged as Stupid and Crazy.
The Korporate Backers of the TeaParty/Ku Klux Klown Hate Group have made money exploiting the hatred generated by the constant Muslim Bashing to slow implementation of what eventually has to be done, Public Option Medicare for Everybody.
In doing so, they’ve killed 120 Americans a day, more every month than were killed at 911. And that being only those Americans who could afford Private Health Insurance, and were denied Health Care anyway. Many more die uncounted because we don’t get to even see the Primary Care. Not diagnosed BEFORE death and certainly not diagnosed AFTER. Scrape the body off the sidewalk and a Police PIG “doctor” Coroner signs the paper end of story period.
That makes them Murders many times over and above the numbers of Americans killed on 9/11.
They, too, insist on the Official Gospel of 9/11 being believed, along with all the Corollary Lying about WMDs, Osama bin Laden, whatever Lies it takes to keep their wars going and sucking America dry.
Including the paid professional Liars at Fox networks. Two of whom I know have been paid more than a billion dollars apiece to turn chickenshit into chicken soup on FOX, over the years.
But we’re “crazy” for pointing that up as well.
Where the Sheep-like Idiots who believe every word spewed out of their lying mouths, regardless of how false, hey, they’re Smart and have good common sense. Four legs good, two legs Baaaaaaaadddddd!
And the notion that they obviously enjoy the violence committed against their Fellow Americans is “crazy” too.
How MUCH are you making, personally, apiece from the death of each soldier, airman, sailor and Marine killed in the Corporate For-profit Wars of Conquest?
The ones your Corporate Masters pay you pathetic low-life professional Liars to promote for them? Not counting the Civilians killed, imprisoned, tortured at the orders of Your Masters, of course, because you Racist Bitches don’t consider Iraqi and Afghan PEOPLE to be even human, especially not the Babies that you’re most famous for having gotten killed.
Corporate Whores like Palin, Malkin, Coulter, O’Reilly, Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh, North, “Gunny” Bob Newman, get paid quite a lot of money to sit behind microphones, in well guarded studios of course, start with a Lie that they’re Working Class Americans instead of actors paid to portray Working Class Americans, and tell shameless lie after shameless lie to promote their Corporate Wars and other Corporate agenda. Rush and O’Reilly get a hundred and forty-two grand per each dead soldier. How much are you scumsucking sellouts getting?
Dr Laura is in the median income group on that, along with “Gunny” Bob, Malkin, Coulter, Daniel Whitney the liberal-arts major Yankee who portrays Southern Trailer Trash “Larry the Cable Guy”…the “lesser” and inferior lights aka Dim Bulbs of an extremely dim “conservative” paid actors movement…
Rush and Bill-do each have scored over a BILLION dollars promoting the wars and the under”lying” currents of hatred in order to prop up their Corporate Masters. Fox “news” which hosts all of the above, although some have “independent” backing from the same Corporate Overlords who run FOX.
That means, popping up the calculator to get a precise reading of it, starting with the LOW figure of a billion, what they usually admit to, and of course not counting their undeclared income…
Dividing by 7000 which is the low figure for U.S. Military personnel murdered BY THE FOR-PROFIT WARS OF CONQUEST SUPPORTED AND ENABLED BY THESE LYING PRICKS AND BITCHES…
$142,857.14 Per Human Life that Rush is being paid, about an equal amount from O’Reilly.
Ollie North has an extremely guarded fast-shuffle method of hiding his income, from the same sources.
So, Dr Laura, Michelle, especially super-patriotic super Marine “Gunny”.. come clean, just how much Blood Money are you lying Whores getting for the blood you have shed, by proxy…?
Especially Gunny, how many pieces of silver have YOU personally obtained selling your Former Comrades to their deaths? Ollie North, your patron saint, made even more money by directly selling arms to the people who subsequently killed your Former Comrades in Beirut… then continued to make money directly by selling them MORE arms afterward. He’s a cold, calculating Murderer and Gunny, since you’re in his corner, So Are YOU.
You and your fellow Lying Whores should pay everything you own to the orphans, widows, brothers, sisters, family, of everybody you’ve had killed with your Hate Speech LIES, both American Military and any foreign citizens. Double amounts the ones whose BABIES you’ve had killed.
Renounce your Treason and your Terroristic Wars of Conquest.
Then, you especially, Gunny, write a note of apology to each family of each Marine you’ve had killed with your outrageous, treasonous BULLSHIT lies.
Then take your M1911A1 issue sidearm, chamber one of those fat .45 slugs, stick the muzzle in your Fat Lying Mouth and for the first time in your life do The Honorable Thing.
See, we constantly get told, on this site and any other site that opposes the wars and the occupations and such, that we’re listening to the “Liberal Mainstream Media”. Huh? The most frequently criticized “Liberal” media are as rabid a War-mongering Mob as Fox, they’re just more polite about it. Sometimes more polite about it. The bullshit with the “Ground Zero Mosque” is being whipped up by the MSM CORPORATE whores just as much as the FOX corporate whores. With an insidious difference, they’ll use weasel words rather than coming right out and saying “Hate Muslims! Hate Islam! The REAL ‘Obsession’ is our Hatred for all things Middle East!” like FOX does.
Same with the Wounded Warrior bullshit the Pentagon tries to fill a swimming pool with, and then dump us in. The fault of causing all those wounds and deaths isn’t in the Anti-War movement, it’s in those who twist their own words to make it appear just, and righteous, to CONTINUE the wars and start others.
Why would they do that? Money.
What did you think, that the Corporate Press would cut the throats of their Pigs who lay the Golden Turds? Of course they won’t. People who were recently in the Military Establishment have a little bit of an excuse. Not much but some. It’s called Stockholm Syndrome. “Jonah, from whose rectal orifice did you pull that one?” but, straight from the Horses’ Mouths is more like it. Stockholms is well documented because the United States Military uses it to defend against confessions made by U.S. POWs. In every non-declared war in my lifetime, the only POWs treated as such by the U.S. military were those held prisoner by the people the U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines attacked, in their own countries, without a declaration of war.
Like McCain. VietMinh “cong” soldiers were handed over to the Saigon Govt troops for torture and execution, not as POWs, but as criminals.
Fairly typical, Bush demanded that any American soldiers taken prisoner by the resistance groups in the nations of Iraq and Afghanistan be “treated humanely under the terms of the Geneva and Hague Conventions” while denying any such treatment to the prisoners captured and tortured and killed by OUR soldiers.
So here’s how Stockholm’s works. It’s a principle of Pavlovian Conditioning. Like when Dr Pavlov trained his dogs to slobber every time he rang a bell.
In the Chinese prison camps during the Korean War, the SAME techniques used to train those dogs, and to train the U.S. soldiers and really those of every established military in the world, were called “brainwashing”.
Who says so? The U.S. Army
When we write of War Crimes committed by the U.S. Army, our sources certainly aren’t the Tame Media. They’re the often conflicting reports issued by the Army and… from the soldiers themselves.
The recently discharged soldiers, well, they’re still hopped up on the Industrial Strength Koolaid administered by the Army. In-their-face confrontations against the lies they were told so often is a good therapy for that.
It also helps that the Army pushes so hard to wash the brains that many of the soldiers reach a threshold where they’ll not go further. It’s worse in this war than any other we’ve had, because now the Army has psychiatry and drugs to help them keep pushing the soldiers past the limit.
You can tell the recently discharged soldiers because they’ll be all foaming at the mouth denouncing their comrades, their fellow soldiers, who have passed the critical milestones on the road back to reality. Their treatments of two, Max Cleland who lost three limbs and almost half his body weight as a result of a mortar shell. And Ron Kovic, born on the Fourth of July.
Celebrated as Heroes as long as they were willing to play the role of Token Cripple for the military “I’m proud to have lost limb and function in VietNam fightin’ for Freedom (freedom to comply, conform and obey) and the Murkin Way!”
Like Sgt Popavitch and his eye.
Some people manage, through a lifetime of drug abuse, like alcoholism, and pure hatred, to keep that spirit until they die. Others go crazy. Get physical problems from trying to internalize the PTSD that kill them. A heart attack at 40, systemic failure that’s more normal in a 70 year old happening in their mid-30s.
The solution offered by the military and their “toughie” supporters? Ridicule their comrades who were wounded every bit as bad as Cleland and Kovic and Popavitch as “weaklings”, and usually the ones who come to this website screaming and bitching about how badly WE are disrespecting wounded people.
Straight from the mouths of horses.
When confronted by logic, as in, where is their Defense of Freedom when it comes to Americans who disagree with them, they start chanting slogans.
Typical of brainwashing victims. When they’re confronted with the Ultimate, where were their protests when Kovic and Cleland were crucified in the Right Wing “liberal” MSM, when Kovic was dragged from his wheelchair by pro-war PIGS for daring to protest, where was their outrage against THAT treatment of wounded warriors?
When they start chanting that only those who went to war are qualified to speak on the subject, unless the ones who speak against their former masters contradict what the Former Masters have to say… in which case being dragged from a wheelchair is considered “justice”.
Sometimes the therapy works and the Pavlov Dogs of War are freed from their internalized psychological chains.
Sometimes, like with War Profiteers Ollie North and “Gunny” Bob Newman, it never worked.
It’s always worth the gamble, though.
Some of the issues were very publicly addressed by John Paul II. Not as publicly by Benedict but even Pope Joey Ratz doesn’t give blessings of the church, and thus absolution to Catholic chaplains and other soldiers.
Abortion. That’s a big hot issue not only with Catholics but Protestants. In the run-up to the Bombing (in which the Air Force were “first to fight” just a side note) and eventual occupation and enslavement errr… “liberation and nation building” of Iraqis the news came out, even on American stations, that Iraqi doctors were being called on to deliver late-term babies by Caesarean Section or induced labor, to prevent “miscarriages” also known by the medical term Spontaneous Abortion, caused not spontaneously but by the stress of such Liberating “Shock and Awe” events as aerial bombardment.
That takes the term “spontaneous” out of the picture. It’s Induced Abortion caused by actions of the United States Military.
Why I got off on this tangent was a series of comments supporting the Murder Campaign errr… Wars of Liberation and Nation Building by a gentleman (I think) who professes to be a Good Catholic.
I mean, even the current Pope, who isn’t a Leftist or even a Moderate Rightist, doesn’t endorse the war, with that one being a strong issue.
There’s other issues, the Anti-Catholic murders performed by Catholic Mercenaries in the war against the People of Nicaragua in the 1980s and, really, still continuing. Some of those killed were nuns, priests, students and teachers at Catholic schools, doctors nurses and patients at a Catholic Hospital, children at a Catholic Orphanage run by American priests and nuns. That’s pretty stout.
If the WarPigs didn’t want to take on the name of AntiChrist they should have left that strictly alone.
Those who are Catholic, well, you’ve got a lot of Ave Marias and PaterNosters to say, plenty of bead-clicking and petitions for absolution.
The daughter of Right Wing Darling “il Rudi”, the one most famous for being skunked by the World Trade Center being bombed,on his watch, twice, …by the same group… and makes bazillions of dollars every year doing lecture tours on the subject of Homeland Security and has praised Mussolini’s policies… (Those who want to jump OUR collective arse for not rejecting every last scrap of Revolution, think about THAT, you closet case neo-nazi freaks) But his daughter, gets caught snagging makeup on the free for five finger discount plan. You have to say that last part out loud.
Why? Daddy has enough bread stashed he could buy her a cosmetics business all her own so she could play Mafia Princess.
Is she guilty? quien sabe.
Certainly the boutique she was in at the time isn’t noted for Liberal Political Actions. Neither the fuzz nor the Mob would want to set up the daughter of the REAL “Mr G” (and no, it ain’t never been about John Gotti)
What political bombshell is let loose with this? A rich kid throwing a tantrum, maybe? Not nearly. Because she’s more than just a rich kid. She’s Mr G’s daughter.
And the abject pettiness of the offense, OK so the makeup would cost more than I pay for rent in a half a year.
Imagine, if you will, stuff that’s ounce for ounce, gram for gram, more valuable than currency. Fitting into the pocket.
But I digress. It IS a petty offense. Much as I love to rag on Chez Bush with Georgie-juniors niece getting off on a charge of DOPE.
No, no, you’re tuning out, quit it. Focus, man!
The one whose daddy was Governor of an absolute Zero Tolerance state, her Uncle and Grandpa were presidents of the United States, where a young girl her age getting caught in Miami with a gram of pure white Cocaine and a skin of darker than Daughter/Niece Bush, would get 25 years hard time.
Get caught with a Gram, Guv don’t give a Damn. Unless you’re his Fam. Damn. I hate that rhyme.
Anyway, that one failed to catch fire. You’d think at least SOME of the Right Hypocrite Wing would have noticed but Noooooooo…
They didn’t give a rats buttocks that of the entire field of Republican’t candidates two years ago, for President were draft dodgers, including “il Rudi”
And supported the War.
Never mind that the vast majority of the staff at Fox News, who are very quick to promote the impeachment of Clinton for getting a hummer under the table, brush aside the sexual doings of Republicans as being irreverently irrelevant. “Wide Stance at the Minneapolis Airport Boy”, and then there’s Vitter the… umm, Diaper Boy, etc… (bet you thought I was gonna say shitter right?)
All of which make naught except for the fact that they condemn anybody who opposes them as being gay, draft dodgers or unnecessarily promiscuous, drug using or not giving a damn about promiscuity, drugs, homosexuality, or draft dodgers.
It’s the HYPOCRISY, Stupid!
That and the Republicans made some kind of joke about Wide-Stance-at-the-Airport boy, or rather, the mocking of their discomfiture, getting all stuffy and huffy and puffy and one of them blurting out on web forums the mantra that The Democrats always try to hide their sins but the Republicans “fall on our swords”.
First off, what they conveniently develop amnesia about Wide-Stance Boy and Diaper Boy and Anti-Gay-Political-Hack-who-paid-$20-apiece-to-fellate-Black-fellows, because-he-was-afraid-of-being-raped-by-Black-fellows Boy, is they’ve all mounted successful Denial Campaigns and been re-elected to some very powerful political offices.
That and the proper term wouldn’t be exactly falling on their own “swords” and more like “backing up on somebody else’s ‘sword’ …”
So now one daughter of one of their most egregious heinous ChickenShit ChickenHawk War Profiteer Anti-Crime putrid pukes, is alleged to have been caught Shoplifting.
For connoisseurs of Right Wing Weasel Actions, this should be a great show. I’m going to make some popcorn.
First I’m going to score enough money, go to the store, buy a popcorn kettle and some popcorn.
Then I’m going to make popcorn. And sit back and watch. It should be fun.
Family Values my arse.
The ones you trust to sort out the health care dilemma by consistently denying Health Care to as many people as possible, thus somehow improving health care for everybody. Yeah. THOSE Insurance companies. Their Life Insurance affiliates just shat all over the War Widows and orphans. And, since there’s a little bit of Taxpayer backing of their scams, through direct buying of their “service” to hidden subsidies like Tax Breaks for THEM because they’re in a War Industry. Then there’s THIS:
For the families of fallen soldiers, funds from their loved ones’ life insurance policies may provide little comfort for their loss, but it just adds insult to injury to learn that insurance companies have set the system up so they make a profit by holding onto payouts, using the funds to make more money, and pocketing most of the earnings [1].
According to an excellent investigation [1] published by Bloomberg yesterday, that’s exactly what happens with “retained-asset accounts,” which have become “standard operating procedure” in the life insurance industry.
They’re holding back on giving the Families control of funds that are rightfully theirs and reinvesting the money. The thieving nature of Capital once again rears its head.
The “checks” aren’t accepted in many places because they’re in a Savings Account rather than a Checking Account, and the funds have to be transferred to Checking in order for a check to not bounce. A lot of on-the-edge-themselves small businesses can’t afford that lapse in time because it will screw up THEIR accounts. You know, the ones that are on the edge.
The “savings account Interest” paid to the families account is like a half a percent. The banks that are underwriting the “checking accounts” are getting far more in interest simply because they’re Banks, and big ones at that. Like, the banks that crashed the economy investing in the Mortgage Scam.
There IS one thing that can be done, though. Folks, when you get that “checkbook” draw out every penny of the funds. Manage your account yourself instead of letting the Friendly Neighborhood Thief Big Brother do it for you. If they were so hot at investing your funds in the first place they wouldn’t be on the bailout lists in the second place.
Just one more instance where “Trust Us, we’re the experts” doesn’t actually work. Their “Experts” didn’t know or didn’t care about the Pyramid Scheme mortgage market. So why SHOULD you trust them?
Not the bombing of “Radical” Synagogues who oppose the non-genocide-but-enforced-enslavement-of-Arabs, through the use of many many instances of Murder, no, the IDF will take care of THAT part…
This is about Guam, “liberated” by the U.S. from the Empire of Japan. (and British, Australian, Nationalist and Communist Chinese, VietMinh and a few hundred other groups who took part in the “American” operations against Japan) And one of the Native Churches there. Why not call it a church?
Well, to the Reich Wing that appellation only belongs, and in a limited sense, to Christian and Jewish places of worship. They’ve already sent one of their “Mad Dog/Lone Wolf” operatives into an American CHURCH in Knoxville Tennessee, still awaiting trial… spurred on by Anti-Peace Activists at Fox News and other pro-war, pro-paganda outlets.
This is about a site on Guam, Pagal. Much like our own Garden of the Gods, or like Hueco Tanks, one OTHER site the U.S. Cavalry has its nasty little piggy eyes on, or the Great Wheel at Standing Bear Butte… Just like the Army enforced laws forbidding Native Americans to practice our customs, sometimes as with the Colorado and Utah statutes against Ute “witchcraft”. Or the Ghost Dance. Or the Medicine Council that Custer tried to break up forcibly at the Little Bighorn…
Carrying on the PROUD tradition of the Army not giving three shits about the customs of the people they “liberated” and instead feeling revulsion and scorn toward any who dare to not be GRATEFUL for their Overlordship errr… Liberation On A Leash…
This is a direct quoted reprint from Fellow Peace-man Bruce Gagnon.
Pagat, a sacred site in Guam, has served as a center for the communal revitalization of the indigenous Chamorro people for millennia. Now, sixty-five years after the U.S. liberation of the tiny island (half the size of Okinawa) from imperial Japan—the U.S. military wants to transform this beloved gathering spot into a firing range. This threat to the sacred is one of many U.S. plans in its proposal to militarize even more of Guam, 30% of which is already covered with military bases.
For more info on Guam organizing look HERE
I swear by the Lord God who made us all that if there weren’t so many War Contractors living nearby the WarPigs at Ft Carson would turn Garden of the Gods or downtown Colorado Springs into a firing range. Might as well, they dump their Toxic Waste from their existing firing ranges, including the Depleted Uranium shells they’ve devastated Iraq with, into our water supply, with no apologies.
The Pentagoons, meanwhile back in DC, are expecting another 37 BILLION dollars to fall into their pockets. Telling the Senate House, it got kicked back to the House after modifications by the Senate, that not giving them more of their Purina PIG Chow would be treason and the betrayal of “the Troops” about whom the Pentagon and other warmongers care Not One Damned Bit in the first, second, third and all the way to the Last place.
The Senate House vote is expected by this afternoon, and it’s already almost noon in Washing Tundy Sea. Will the Senate do the patriotic thing, for the first time in like, forever?
Or will they do what the War Industry Lobbyists pay them to do and fork over more bread?
My prediction is that the Manufacturers of guns, bullets, grenades, rockets, trench-knives, uniforms, shrouds, coffins and Funerary Flags are going to be treating their Tame SenatorsRepresentatives to steak and lobster dinners tonight.
Meanwhile the TeaBags are out screaming about proposed increases in Health Care and more oversight of the Banking and Investment “industries”, neither of which has actually taken place yet. But not one word against the War.
Hardly surprising, as Silly Sarah had made it plain during the last election that she feels God Himself is leading the “war on terror”. Other TeaBag leaders agree, meanwhile providing cover with their Childish Street Tantrums for “supplemental” bills such as the one the House is about to pass. Our very own Tame Pigs like Douglas Lamborn already passed a “supplement” that was $4 billion more than the new figure, 33 Gigabux as compared to the earlier 37.
“Fiscal Conservatives” my left ass cheek.
If you want the image in full-size, it’s more than 1400×800. See, I’m not a flag-waver. I DO however know at least Some of the flag code. One is that you’re only supposed to display a flag in an environment consistent with the design. That does NOT include displaying a cloth flag from a Motorized Vehicle.
The stress from the slipstream-wind will rip it, fray it and eventually break it off. One excuse the faux-patriot, real jackoff had for not retrieving his $1.93 WalMart special store bought “patriotism” might have been that it was lost in the rain. Which is TWO violations for the price of one. Maybe he has one of the Zero Tolerance jobs where the boss would fire him if he took the couple of minutes to stop, retrieve his Fake Patriotism and was thus two minutes late.Who knows? I found one buried half way in Mud at the entrance to the Employee Parking Lot at Bell-Textron in Ft Worth, where all these Super Fakeriots who made their living off other people dying, (war industry) passed it by every day for a week. One I found in Woodland Park in a ratt’s nest alongside 24.
And knowing FULL WELL that these same Jackoffs would wave it in my face and try to shame me by their fake display of even faker patriotism, because I don’t support their war.
There’s a phrase, “war of convenience”, how about a “patriotism of convenience”? Grow some REAL patriotism. Stand up to the Warmongering freaks who are dragging America into the same muddy ditch I found the flag in today.
A flag is for one purpose, to allow your comrades to know where you are and not fire on your position. That’s why they came into existence. Some flags are designated as “all weather”. If you’re in a forward post and need your flag to identify your position, day and night and in all weather, that’s what you use. Ships at Sea don’t even strike their colors when they make port. In Maritime Law you’re required to fly a flag designating which nation holds the registration of the ship.
I know it’s impossible to get further from a shore or other national boundary in America than Colorado Springs. Actually Salinas Kansas. If somebody has made it all the way to Colorado Springs and still doesn’t realize he’s in the U.S. is too stupid to educate, and no amount of flag waving is going to do him any good.
I don’t say the idolatrous pledge of allegiance, an oath to a graven image, part of it being “one nation under God” meaning they’re blaming GOD for their war crimes.
MMMMM… my favorite dish… Chickenhawk Supreme. So we spent the 1970s and ’80s enduring some truly nauseating propaganda flicks, mostly on the order of “We could have won VietNam, if only” and a long string of excuses that even though the country was bombed repeatedly, one accounting of it is that there was more aerial bombardment of VietNam (south, not that it matters, we weren’t at war with either the south or the north) than was used on Japan in World War 2.
I can’t vouch for that but we sure are paying a lot of money, still, for all the expended ordnance… even with that “our hands were tied and we couldn’t do all the damage we wanted to do” say WHUUUTT? But we didn’t unleash Steven Seagal or Sly Stallone or John Wayne or Ah-nuld Governater or Walker, Texas Ranger on them.
And of course the Red Dawn farce, (still gets replayed on Cable TV) (no, really, people with enough IQ to work a remote control actually WATCH that crap… voluntarily) and in anticipation of our eventual losses in MesoAmerica, (Grenada has once again voted itself Marxist, Cuba is still Marxist, Castro is still alive, Daniel Ortega is still in government office in Nicaragua, and the only Government Leaders who were killed or imprisoned were “our” allies, like Manny Noriega and the Medellin Cartel bosses…)
Now Fox, the Roosting Place of so much of America’s Finest flock of ChickenHawk, is remaking the 1985 movie “Commando” And announced it on the anniversary of the Fall of Saigon. Coincidence?
Perhaps to create and recreate the delusional illusion that America Really Won in VietNam, MesoAmerica, and now, Iraq and Afghanistan. Since delusions of Victory are all they have to sell, can one really blame them?
Well, Hell yes, I can! These FreakTards have been, and their ideological Fellow Travelers spanning nearly 6 1/2 decades as well, pushing war after undeclared war on the rest of the World in the name of Uncle Sugar and for the benefit of their Corporate Whoremasters ever since the final day of World War 2, SHAME!
There hasn’t been a single declaration of War by the Congress of the United States since December of 1941. There also hasn’t been a single day gone by that a shot was not fired in anger by at least one American soldier acting under orders. Not a single day without American war-mongering.
They compound their aggressively Evil Agenda by refusing, themselves, to participate in the wars they create and prolong. And refuse, to a “man”, to pay a fair share of their so-called “earnings”, the Blood Money they obtain from promoting having Other Human Beings Murdered, in taxes. Billionaires like Rush Limbaugh and Rupert Murdoch and Bill O’Reilly, lesser “stars” like Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity, who don’t make as much as O’Reilly and Limbaugh, (yet) Still take home more pay in a year than a construction WORKER could ever hope to make in a couple of decades of Real Work.
What would be an appropriate amount of money for ass-hats such as these fine fellows to pay? ALL of it. Every penny, and then be forced to work serving the people who are maimed or widowed or orphaned by their Outrageous Lying Pro-War Propaganda. Restitution for their entire lives.
It would be the first and only honorable thing any of them ever did in his misspent life.
