| If Ignorance Is Bliss.....
Then Surely It Must Be Folly To Be Wise!"If ignorance is truly bliss, then why do so many Americans need Prozac?" I'm starting to blog again. However I will ruffle some feathers so if it pisses you off so be it, and if you have something constructive to add do so. If you just want to be bitchy then be forewarned. It's just a button push away from blogville to banville.
Now if you're wondering why so many posts on January 12, 2007, read just pissed off at Aff

Barack ran on a handful of promises, and already he's broken nearly every one. What he did was promise action: But those actions proved to be nothing but extensions for the status quo to actually intensify what we objected to (in the case of not-closing Gitmo for at least a year-he gave himself more time to ratchet up the torture). This will not only NOT change anything: but in most cases, this course of action will eliminate the ability to actually ever change any of the things he said he would change "for us." Look at his policies as compared to his promises; and look deeply into those he has appointed to "help" him exterminate us. Obama represents the flim-flam artists in this dying country-nothing more-because he is "the con" and not "the answer" to anything!
Take Health Care as one example: Not even two months into his 'rule' Obama has already murdered single-payer health care, in direct contravention of his campaign promises. Instead of even looking at full medical care for all Americans, paid for by the government, at no additional cost to the taxpayers: Obamanation has invited the heads of the criminally-fraudulent medical insurance companies, along with all the other medical-health-parasites into his summit meetings-because he wants to keep health-care for all- imprisoned in the black hole of privatized corporate profits first, and separate from, any real access for people to be able to live healthy lives.
Yes there was a time when Americans knew how to deal with this type of excrement. It involved a tree,or a lamppost, and a rope, but that was then , this is now.

Proposed legislation in Congress would set up camps for U. S. citizens
More American Gulags being built, to supplement the ones already built by KBR since 2006, as this article shows:
Halliburton’s subsidiary KBR (formerly Kellogg, Brown and Root) announced on January 24, 2006 that it had been awarded a $385 million contingency contract by the Department of Homeland Security to build detention camps in the United States.
According to a press release posted on the Halliburton website, “The contract, which is effective immediately, provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to augment existing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detention and Removal Operations (d r o) Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs. The contingency support contract provides for planning and, if required, initiation of specific engineering, construction and logistics support tasks to establish, operate and maintain one or more expansion facilities.”
Maybe YOUR name is on the list to be shipped off to one of these "Gitmo North" facilities, room and board courtesy of the former democratic republic known as the USA. Maybe you should ask the National Counter terrorism Center's database if you're scheduled for a future visit?
Good luck trying to find out, that info is confidential, after all, you might be a terrorist!!
Parry notes that The Washington Post reported on February 15, 2006 that the National Counter terrorism Center’s (NCTC) central repository holds the names of 325,000 terrorist suspects, a fourfold increase since fall of 2003.
Asked whether the names in the repository were collected through the NSA’s domestic surveillance program, an NCTC official told the Post, “Our database includes names of known and suspected international terrorists provided by all intelligence community organizations, including NSA.”
When the former USSR would ship off dissidents, they'd be sent to slave labor camps in Siberia. If you didn't freeze to death, you'd die from being worked to death and not having enough food.
But here in the States, we're a more enlightened bunch. We won't call them slave labor camps, nor say they're for dissidents, but for those needing housing and relief services after a national emergency.
An emergency like the collapse of the economy, thanks to Wall Street being looted and immense amounts of money are shipped out of the country. Since cash just doesn't vanish into thin air, got any guess where all that loot from our Wall Street, England's Fleet Street and Iceland, Latvia and others has disappeared to?
Why isn't Congress setting up an investigative committee to "follow the money" and see where all that cash got off to? Is it because YOUR Congress is nothing more than a "fetch and carry" bitch for Israel?
When Americans finally figure out that our only "friend" in the ME is the recipient of much of that stolen plunder, the shit will hit the fan, necessitating the declaration of martial law to keep us "uppity" Americans in their place.
You have the nerve to demand back all of those trillions of dollars that was stolen from your bank accounts?
The Chutzpah of that!

Crime and Punishment

For many years I have pondered what would be a fitting punishment for the likes of George and co.
A Bullet? The energy non compliant Chair?, The Noose? None of these seem to be much of a punishment, seeing that dead is something that we are all going to be someday anyway, even those among us that have NOT committed heinous crimes against humanity and the planet or even kicked a cat in the recent past.
Where the hell is the punishment in being dead? Click bang dead that's just far to easy a way out for ASSHOLES like dear OLE George & co. It's not like ASSHOLES like dear OLE George & co. would be thinking Gee I really hate being dead, I was a bad boy and I was an ASSHOLE and I'm really fucking sorry.
Personally I think that the only fitting punishment would be to place them on public display and I really mean public display, like a circus freak show for the entire world to see, but instead of the bearded lady or the two headed goat the banner would read come and see The ASSHOLES.
These ASSHOLES should given the best medical care possible, total security and reasonable food (one would want them to last for the full tour). Then put naked into very bulletproof very safe transparent boxes complete with surround sound, loaded up onto trailers and taken to every fucking city, town and village on this planet.
People could then see what happens to ASSHOLES, voice their opinions of said ASSHOLES (utilizing the aforementioned surround sound) throw excrement, fruit & veg or whatever at the ASSHOLES in the transparent boxes and then to really get the point across for the cost of one thin Dime, Drachma, Rupee or a Scottish farthing., for 24 hours a day the people would get the chance to push a button, a button connected to the electric grid on the floor, not lethal you understand, just a HOLY SHIT DID YUH SEE THE ASSHOLE JUMP THAT TIME, here let me give it a try sort of grid. Of course there would have to be the drugs administered at regular intervals, you know the drugs that keep one like REALLY ALERT so that the aforementioned ASSHOLES could get the full benefit of the peoples true sentiments.
I'm not sure if it would really and truely be a fitting punishment for the likes of these ASSHOLES but it would be a start and just think of the reality TV spin-off's. I can just see it now, (Non Survivor ASSHOLE, The amazing race of ASSHOLES, AMERCAN ASSHOLE, So yuh think Yuh can dance ASSHOLE zzzzzt) The list just goes on and on.
Then after the world tour these assholes should be allowed to starve to death in full public view of course and then dumped in a landfill with the rest of the garbage, and a big sign erected saying "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO ASSHOLES, GET IT"
And by the by apologies to my asshole as I don't know where I would be without it. At least I don't call it George,although some of the time the noise it makes sounds alot like Barack and makes about as much sense.

It's not easy anymore but you really should try and find someone of Russian, Polish, Ukrainian or German descent that survived the Bolshevik revolution and then Stalin’s purge. It ain't pretty.
No it ain't pretty but it's really something that people should hear, they should hear just what people in power are capable of doing to the population, the population of any country when their positions of power are threatened. This is not just something that can happen in that nebulous place called over there, or back then, or in the old country. No it can and will happen right here and it matters not if you’re living in the US or Canada or Briton or anywhere of a hundred different countries. It will happen and it will be terrible….
I really mean this, find someone who had their feet on the ground during those times and LISTEN to them, and I mean REALLY LISTEN to them, their stories will all be the same.
I know this not only because my family hailed from that place and time but most of the older generation in the community that I grew up in came from there as well. I listened to them and I heard that of which they spoke, or at least I thought that I had listened and heard, perhaps I should have listened more closely, when they told me that it not only could but would happen here and for the very same reasons.
Those reasons were and still are the insatiable thirst for power by a very small group of villains and more importantly the people’s complacency. It’s the same all over again, same villains, same complacency the complacency of the working stiff who say’s “hey I work my ass off to make ends meet, I take my to baseball games when I can afford to, I pay my taxes, I try to be a good person, what more do they want from me?”
Well I will tell you what more they want of you, They want EVERYTHING, they want all you have and then they will take that of which you could only dream, Your Freedom. And then they will take your very lives.
So if your asking how bad will it get, just ask someone who was there, ask them now before they are all gone. They DO have things to say that you REALLY should listen to, and goddamit listen to them until you hear what they are saying and then listen some more.
Listen when they tell you what it’s like to see 60 million people starve to death. Listen to them when they tell you what it’s like to see your family, friends and neighbors shot wholesale.
Listen to them when they tell you that they were the lucky ones, they were the ones who survived and at least had a place to run to that was better. That place was HERE wherever that is. Where will you run, where will you go, and what will you do when you get there to that place, that place that is just as bad as the place you left and will they let you in?
This time will be different insofar as this time it will be Bad everywhere, it is almost time for the culling of the herd to begin.
Soooo how will you go? How will you and yours go into that long cold night? Will you go standing on two feet, and with a defiant scream. Or will you go silently while standing on all fours…. like a sheep?
Personally I prefer the former…. But that’s just me, and I really need to get a drink now.

Who are you anyway?

You can stop me at any point,,, heh heh, no you can't but it never hurts to offer. I want to talk today about the obvious. If it's not obvious to you then you are a Nimrod and or a Nodwell and you probably don't come here anyway since I don't feature porn or get rich quick schemes. Before I get into any of this, we require, or should I say you require a little setup, a backstory, some scenery so we know where we are.
Here's what is obvious, to me anyway, and mind you, I've done the research and been around whatever I'm talking about or, I say I don't know and if I'm projecting or predicting, I tend to tell you that too. Rich people are rich because they love money; more importantly, they love the power and the cachet that it grants. When people aren't rich it is because they don't love money to the extent that it consumes their waking hours with the desire to acquire it or, they're not very good at it anyway or, they're stupid. Somebody is making a lot more of the latter every day so at least you won't be lonely. This is a real growth industry.
Rich people are not generous except to the degree that it serves their purposes or assuages their guilt or, makes them feel generous and that's why when rich people give money away they hire a brass band to accompany the gesture. These are the same people that worship their non existent God with public displays that raise hypocrisy to a fine art when it is juxtaposed with their real like actions. Please note that I didn't say that the essential living conscious light does not exist and I'm not saying it does either because you have to figure that out.
I've been around a lot of rich people in my life and almost exclusively they have a common problem. Yes, they are rich but their money is tied up at the moment or something happened somewhere; some strange fantasy that only the terminally stupid would buy for a moment.
Moving right along, people who threaten to kick your ass or kill you over the internet do so because they don't ever expect to meet you in real life. People who think you should behave the way they do don't behave that way. People who like to make themselves look good attract a poor class of associates engaged in the same behavior. People who are virulently opposed to people with different sexual tastes share those tastes. People who intimidate and bluster are cowards. People attracted to positions of power don't understand power. People who think they are slick don't know how to dance.
This feels good, let's go on for a little longer. People who take jobs as journalists for major organs of disinformation have to know, have to know that they are lying sacks of shit that sold out their integrity for a paycheck. People who work for governments and religions that do not work within their fields for the greatest good for the greatest amount of people are thieves and frauds.
Religious leaders who dress in Armani suits and have hair weaves and two hundred thousand dollars worth of teeth to accompany their Las Vegas Game Boy act for an asexual Jesus make Elmer Gantry look like St Francis of Assisi. People that think sex is bad are terrible lovers. People that become enraged when you look at a sixteen year old girl were never a sixteen year old boy. They were born with white socks, black shoes and a briefcase full of bullshit and they are looking, trust me, they are and maybe more than that. I've found that the more they scream about sexual abuse of , the closer you had better watch your when their around.
People who want to kill because the moral order doesn't reflect their personal degree of repression are doing things none of us would do, in their minds and often in real life. Freud's hysterical women who see predators climbing out of the light sockets are badly in need of having their clocks cleaned so that they never tell time again. It's okay to have a cigarette now. I guess you realize that 'NO.'really does mean I hate myself. No, I know what no means but this is a different no. This is Doctor No with all the credentials in the world and not one drop of understanding.
So, what I want to know is, how can nearly everyone in a position to speak out about what is obvious, all be engaged in the greatest conspiracy of all time? How do the whores in journalism; the whores in public office, the whores in religious outfits from "The King of Hearts", the whores for money and the whores for security, the whores that sell their cottage cheese asses for the right to force compliance on others before the altar of ugly conformity to cheap and obvious lies, how do they sleep at night?
How can you do a job and live a life, linked arm in arm with everyone you know all mutually agreeing to something you all know is bullshit? How can all the countries in the Middle East be without internet except, wait for it, never mind? How can you see what is in front of you and not see it? See.
What I don't get is, you know you're going to die right? Soooo shouldn't your life have some meaning? Since you came with nothing and leave with nothing shouldn't you do everything you can to make the world a better place and yourself a better person in the bargain? I don't get it. I don't get gratuitous plastic surgery. I don't get cosmetics in aging women that makes them look like someone going to a costume party dressed as a lizard and who is obscuring the inner beauty that is looking to shine forth. I don't get bondage gear and the utter agony of mind numbing religions. I don't get a hundred thousand versions, over and over again of the same video game of killing everything in sight by proxy. I don't get your endless lonely nights of feverish masturbation and then you wake up to tell everyone else it's wrong. I don't understand how you can lie to yourself.
How do you do it? I really want to know. How did you get from seeing through your parents lies to telling the same lies yourself? How did your youthful enthusiasm turn into pitching and moaning about everything but what is really bothering you. Why do you keep beating your head against a wall if it hurts?
Here's a clue. If everyone stops paying their taxes then there will never be enough jails to hold you and you're already in jail anyway. Don't give these thieves another dime and there won't be anymore bailouts for the criminals running the game. Kalifornia is about to go broke. Let's break every other state and every other country until this vicious cycle ends. Take that carrot and stick it up their ass.
If you're going to die anyway then let your death mean something and it won't mean anything unless your life meant something. People, take off the blinders. You're better than this. I know you are. You have lost your way and now you just bend over and wait. Stand up, pull your pants back up, it's okay, I have my eyes averted. Now, what say we get a little something to eat and have a little chat?

THE LORELEI

From perched upon her rock up high
the ever watchful Lorelei
was forced to give a moral gasp
on seeing Hermann swimming past.
She looked askance and flicked her hair
"Mein Gott", she thought, "what have we here?",
her eyesight needed no correction
when she espied his large erection.
Her limbs now seized with expectation
her thoughts now filled with delectation,
she rose serenely from her rock
and fantasized about his cock.
Too long it was since that young sailor
one night had managed to assail her.
By moonlight was she thus deflowered,
his cock most ravishly devoured.
She'd so enjoyed the feel of lust
As matelot his buttocks thrust.
Since then occasions passed her by,
the chance her female charm to ply.
But now she left her lofty perch
her reputation she'd besmirch,
for years she'd sat upon that rock
her tits squeezed tight in that old frock.
And standing now upon the bank
she saw young Hermann in mid-wank,
by now her mouth was salivating
as she watched him masturbating.
"What joy" she thought, "some sex at last!"
when just that moment did walk past
a young man, tight in lederhosen,
was he just camp, or was he posing?
The Lorelei in her vexation
now turned her thoughts to conversation,
she quickly recognised the scene
that now obtained with this young queen.
And Hermann's eyes she must avert
from gazing on this young pervert,
whose mincing gait and manner queer
was almost more than she could bear.
But words they did now all escape her
that might deter her idol's suitor,
for now young Hermann, so aroused,
had seen this young man in the crowd.
And turned his gaze in his direction
one flipper raised to show affection.
The young man, who was most excited,
rushed to the water, once invited.
His clothes torn off, and in a heap,
he plunged into the river deep,
then in a swirling sea of foam
in Hermann's mouth his cock drove home.
Now mermen, though they often see men
have little chance of tasting semen,
which caused our Hermann jubilation
when young man had ejaculation.
And shot his spunk so white and thick
from his now rock-hard, throbbing dick.
That he might savour the full taste
the merman not a drop did waste.
But soon this scene of lust aquatic
which really had been most erotic,
was drawing to its natural close,
as young man left to find his clothes.
Which made poor Hermann rather sad,
he'd really fallen for the lad.
"Gott in Himmel, what a dish,
and much more fun than all this fish!"
Poor Lorelei had been deprived
of what she'd hoped would be her prize,
it had not been her lucky day
she'd picked a merman who was gay!

A New Clinical Syndrome: PEBS!

For you non-clinical moron types, that would be:
PROGRESSIVE EXPLODING BRAIN SYNDROME
There's only one cure for it: you have to think! Hahaha. That's like no cure at all!
I'm such a meanie. I'm just piling on. You betcha! Being confronted with monumental self-delusion and stupidity on an unprecedented scale brings out the worst in me. But I admit it, 'cuz I'm an honest of a bitch. More than I can say for certain other people.
But here's some good news. You may have voted for Obama -- but you're getting the McCain Cabinet! Is that still being mean? Okie dokie.
To pile on this post and the first part of "Clinging to the Wreckage," and because I'm such a bastard, here's an excerpt from a new Jeremy Scahill article, "Obama's Kettle of Hawks":
Obama's starry-eyed defenders have tried to downplay the importance of his cabinet selections, saying Obama will call the shots, but the ruling elite in this country see it for what it is. Karl Rove, "Bush's Brain", called Obama's cabinet selections, "reassuring", which itself is disconcerting, but neoconservative leader and former McCain campaign staffer Max Boot summed it up best. "I am gobsmacked by these appointments, most of which could just as easily have come from a President McCain," Boot wrote. The appointment of General Jones and the retention of Gates at defense "all but puts an end to the 16-month timetable for withdrawal from Iraq, the unconditional summits with dictators and other foolishness that once emanated from the Obama campaign."
...
There is not a single, solid anti-war voice in the upper echelons of the Obama foreign policy apparatus. And this is the point: Obama is not going to fundamentally change US foreign policy. He is a status quo Democrat. And that is why the mono-partisan Washington insiders are gushing over Obama's new team. At the same time, it is also disingenuous to act as though Obama is engaging in some epic betrayal. Of course these appointments contradict his campaign rhetoric of change. But move past the speeches and Obama's selections are very much in sync with his record and the foreign policy vision he articulated on the campaign trail, from his pledge to escalate the war in Afghanistan to his "residual force" plan in Iraq to his vow to use unilateral force in Pakistan to defend US interests to his posturing on Iran. "I will always keep the threat of military action on the table to defend our security and our ally Israel," Obama said in his famed speech at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee last summer. "Sometimes, there are no alternatives to confrontation."
There are certainly "no alternatives to confrontation" if one wishes to maintain American global hegemony, and damn the cost, damn the slaughter of innocents, damn everything decent, just and humane. America is God on Earth; Her will be done.
Get the Obamandingo Change PEBS! It's all the rage. Thanks for Nothing Suckers.

December 2, 2008
After a long illness and a protracted vegetative state, the U.S. anti-war movement finally died today; the joy to see president-Select Barack Obamandingo appointing Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State and Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense was fatal. Its peace achievements have been impressive; its stature is best measured by its indefatigable support of the Democratic Party; its understanding of the peace business has been an invaluable asset to Mr. Obamandingo. Funeral services will be held on 20 January, 2009 in Washington, D.C.

SURPRISE!

This is supposedly what everybody shouts at a "surprise birthday party" when the guest of honor enters a room filled with his best friends and family who have gathered to celebrate the fact of his/her existence:
"Surprise!!" -- and then everybody sings "Happy Birthday" or "Auld Lang Sine" or some crap.
Has anybody ever actually attended one of these parties, or do they only happen in the movies or on television? If you've ever had one -- were you "surprised"? Or did you somehow find out about it in advance -- like they always do on TV?
In this digitized, computerized, sensationalized, homogenized, and hegemonized age of "Homeland Security", is there really any such thing as a "surprise"?
No.
So why is anyone even slightly "surprised" about the recent cabinet appointments by Blaarack Obama? And I'm not talking about regular people -- the 50-percent of all American households that can't afford Internet access, who therefore also don't have access to "alternative news sources".
No. These people already know they're screwed. Nothing "surprises" them.
I'm talking about the extremely educated and intelligent "Harvard" and "Berkeley" people who write those alternative sources of "news" information, who now feel shocked, appalled, abandoned, betrayed, -whipped, cheated, swindled and -- "SURPRISED" -- by President-Select Blaarck Sambo Obama's recent cabinet selections.
Why are these people -- "SURPRISED"?
Let's back up the train a little. It's not hard to do that. Nowadays they usually have a locomotive on both ends of the train, so it can go either way. Back and forth -- back and forth. It can be lots of fun -- and the rocking motion tends to put babies to sleep -- while they're nursing their mother's breast. But a similar combination can also bring a grown man to sexual climax. So ya have to be very careful about technique, when you're rockin' the boat.
Point is, these are the people who KNEW this "crisis" was coming. They've been predicting the demise of our economic system since the turn of the century or longer, and we've heard predictions of ecological collapse since long before that. We've all read the literature.
These are the same people who write articles and make videos daily about the "takeover of the United States" and "conspiracy theory" and the "SPP" and the "NAU" and "abolish the Fed" and "Freedom to Fascism" and the "income tax is unconstitutional" and the "ecological tipping point" and "overpopulation" and whatever else -- panic, panic, PANIC!!
Are they WRONG?
No.
Not at all. These folks are my heroes, though some of them don't like me very much. Most of them don't suggest much in the way of "solutions" or "alternatives", and I'm not shy about criticizing them for that. But they do all seem to have a fairly common grasp of the "problem" -- overall.
As I understand it, these people insist that the bankers and the corporations took control of this country and our world a long damn time ago -- that the government is little more than an military instrument to maintain corporate power and control -- that the rest of us are nothing more than stooges, serfs and wage-slaves whose lives exist purely for the sake of corporate profit in a capitalist economy -- and that our planet is little more than an economic playground for the wealthy. These people are obviously smart enough to understand that Capitalism IS a "conspiracy" -- against most of the human population and the planet itself.
My only question is why are these people "SURPRISED"?
Why is anyone surprised that Blaarack Sambo Obama would renege on his campaign promises about "change"? Why are people surprised that Uncle Tom Obama has decided NOT to repeal George Bush's tax cuts for the rich after promising this would be his first order of business upon being elected? Why is anyone surprised that Obamandingo has retracted his promise to remove our troops from Iraq within 16 months of taking office? The guy hasn't even been inaugurated yet, and he already looks at least as "presidential" as any other crook who ever held the office. The people in this country have heard more than 200-years of these lies.
So why is anyone still "SURPRISED"?
Every single election -- every four years (or however frequently people participate in this fiasco) -- everybody seems "SURPRISED" by the inevitable outcome. Candidate promises "change" -- candidate gets elected -- campaign promises are discarded -- nothing changes for the better -- so the electorate writes nasty editorials in his general direction for the next four to eight years.
What KIND of "change" are hungry "Americans" looking for?
"Gee, I'm tired of getting screwed-over. Seems like it's time for a CHANGE"?
This is about as far as most "Americans" get in the thought process with regard to "change". It comes somewhere between "Damn, the baby's screaming again", "Sorry I burnt the turkey, honey", and "Get that thing away from me! I told you I have a head-ache!"
This is probably as far as anybody gets in this thought process, because most of us are forced to spend all of our waking hours either working or handling family problems (usually both) within the pressure-cooker of the current system. In between "Monday Night Football", "Debbie Does Dallas" and the latest episode of "CSI", these real life challenges demand our attention and keep us distracted from thinking about political and socioeconomic issues that most deeply affect your lives.
While many Americans still seem afraid to admit it, I think the kind of change we really need in this country would legally prohibit passive "ownership" from siphoning unearned income from the active participation of hard-working people in terms of both production and consumption. Unfortunately, we're probably still a couple light-years away from that kind of "change".
But a wise man told me a long time ago: "There's no such thing as a free lunch". You take a risk, there's a chance you might fail. That's how the system works, right? With great risk comes potential for great reward and for dismal failure -- unless -- you're "too big to fail". How can anyone or anything be "too big to fail"? What's the measuring stick for this? What is the criteria for being "too big to fail"? Being born into the right family? If you're big enough to screw-over most of the homeowners in the United States, and throw them out in the street, does that suddenly make you "too big to fail"?
Where I come from there's another saying: "The bigger they are, the harder they fall". Repeatedly kick the bastards in the nuts as hard as you can -- until they "fail" to bully you any longer.
With his "Uncle Tom" theory, Ralph Nader is probably one of the few living "Americans" in this panty-waist country who is NOT "surprised" by Blaarack Obama's criminal cabinet appointments. Noam Chomsky says it's no "surprise" that the nature of an election when it's run by the business world is to undermine democracy, just as commercial advertising seeks to undermine the market. The goal of both is to create an uninformed public that makes irrational choices.
"No matter who is elected, the war will continue to take American and Iraqi lives. The economy will be continue to be floated at the expense of working people. The environment will continue to be destroyed for profit. And more Americans will lose access to health care. That's because most of the people who run this world are not elected: executives and bureaucrats, bosses and landlords, bankers and generals.
"Our hopes and dreams for a better life do not fit in their ballot boxes. McCain and Obama have (slightly) different views on how to run a capitalist system that can function only by running our lives into the ground. I want a completely different system, one that meets people's needs. That won't happen until we stop accepting what we don't want and organize and fight for what we do want."
So what's the point?
The 2008 election did not usher in a new President of the United States. The recent election did not usher in any new policies. The same people are in power now as have been in power for the past 150-years or more, regardless of whose face we see on the TV screen or on the front page of the newspaper. We've still got the same "leadership" and the same dysfunctional "policies" we've always had -- and it's utterly ridiculous for anyone to be "SURPRISED" about the fact. The problem at hand and the solution at bay is to usher in a new system that prohibits the possibility of any form of centralized power and control.

"I am a Zionist. You Don't Have to be a Jew to be a Zionist!"
Biden and Israel stupidest
"If I were a Jew, I would be a Zionist. I am a Zionist. You don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist."
- Senator Joseph Biden
For all of Obama's (in the for what it's worth dept.)campaign promises of "change," his choice of Joseph Biden as his running mate sends a clear signal to Israel's lobby in Washington and its right-wing government in Jerusalem that for the next four years there will be no change in the United States' unconditional support or its annual $6 billion in direct and indirect aid.
Predictably, neither will there be a change in the hopelessness and the impotent rage of the Arabs suffering under a U.S.-supported Zionist ideology in Palestine.
Senator Biden is the ardently pro-Israel chair of the Foreign Relations Committee. He is a 36-year veteran politician whose specialty is foreign policy. When he told a reporter from the Jewish cable network, Shalom TV, that he is a Zionist, he knew the implications of that admission for the Palestinians, the entirety of the Arab world, and America's global "war on terror."
Matt Dorf, the Jewish outreach coordinator for the Democratic National Committee, said that "Israel would have no better friend in the vice president's office than Joe Biden." Dorf might just as easily–and as honestly–have said, "Palestinians would have no greater foe in the vice president's office than Joe Biden."
Commenting on the unrest in Palestine in 2007, Biden planted his flag deep in Israel's camp: "The responsibility rests on those who will not acknowledge the right of Israel to exist, will not play fair, will not deal, will not renounce terror."
Obama's running mate has chosen his side. He cannot be a neutral American statesman brokering a Middle East peace or he cannot be a Zionist.
One cannot be a Zionist and place the suffering of Palestinians on the same moral plane as that of Israeli Jews.
One cannot be a Zionist and demand that Israel dismantle its illegal settlements that co-opt nearly half the land in the Gaza Strip and Occupied West Bank.
One cannot be a Zionist and place the blame for sixty years of violence and the deaths of innocent thousands–both Palestinian and Israeli–on the cold-blooded determination with which the Zionist cadre executed the ethnic cleansing of 800,000 Palestinians from the land they had inhabited for untold generations.
One cannot be a Zionist and contemplate the return of Palestinians to their homes that are now occupied by Israeli Jews or the rebuilding of the 500 Palestinian villages destroyed during the great Nakba (catastrophe) of 1948.
One cannot be a Zionist and abandon the dream of Eretz Israel in order to live as equals with an Arab neighbor in a truly democratic Palestine-Israel.
One cannot be a Zionist and demand that Israel's apartheid wall be torn down.
One can be a Jew. One can be an Israeli. But one cannot be a Zionist.
Joseph Biden is neither a Jew nor an Israeli. He is the Democratic vice presidential candidate who unabashedly declared, "The Democrats' support for Israel comes from our gut . . . and ends up in our heads." Sound familiar? Haven't we already had eight years of a president who "thinks" with his gut and expects the rest of us to behave like dung beetle larvae? Speaking strictly for myself, I'm tired of their balls of poo.
Could it be there is no difference, no possibility of change as Obama promises, between the Democratic and Republican parties' subservience to Israel's shadow government on K Street or their tacit support of Israel's internationally condemned policies toward the Palestinians?
Could it be that the two parties' overt support for Israel's regional aggression exacerbates the "war on terror" and makes the people their candidates swear to God to protect and defend less safe?
Could it be that the "ball of dung" being fed to the American people by both parties conceals the obvious truth that there is no strategic value in our irrational alliance with Israel?
Commenting on the unrest in Palestine in 1921, Winston Churchill, one of the architects of the modern Middle East, told the House of Commons: "The cause of unrest in Palestine, and the only cause, arises from the Zionist movement, and from our promises and pledges in regard to it."
Joseph Biden"s self-professed Zionism plays well on Shalom TV, but it is a liability for the United States in the global "war on terror" and a death warrant for Palestinian and Israeli innocents.
Well there you have it Welcome to Obama's nee Uncle Toms Cabin, Shalom "SUCKERS".

My Crappy Irish Childhood
My childhood in Ireland was the crappiest childhood of them all. I was born in the pauper's ghetto in the small town of Ballystench, County Craperary. We were so poor that our house didn't have a roof. When it rained my mother said that we were lucky, because we were the only family in town to have showers. Two of my brothers were eaten by the creeping fungus soon after. Once I was hit by lightning and started to pick up transmissions. My family were able to use me as a radio for weeks.
Dinner was always the same. Mother would put some stones in a bowl of water and boil it. "Rock Soup" she called it. Some of the minerals in the rocks would dissolve into the water. That's what kept us alive. My father said that we were lucky even to have that. When he was a all that he had was a bowl of air. For desert we ate muck. Father said it was just as good as chocolate. Then he would run to the pub and drink thirty or forty pints of Guinness.
When winter came we froze into solid blocks of ice. Father had one of his great ideas. He caught a protestant and burned him in the fireplace. That kept us alive for a while. Then we realised that we could make ourselves new clothes out of snow. One day my clothes melted, and the parish priest saw me running around naked. He beat me with a stick all the way home. I started to bleed, and some wild dogs smelled the blood and began to chase me too. One of the dogs tore off my left arse cheek. The priest said it served me right for being a godless peasant.
One winter, seven of my brothers died of leprosy. The priest said that it was our fault for not giving enough money to the church. The heartless cur. Another brother died one day when the sun came out from behind a cloud. He didn't know what it was and he dropped dead out of fright. We didn't have enough money to pay for proper coffins, so we made out own out of old boxes of corn flakes.
Soon the time came to start school. We were taught by these really ugly-looking meaty nuns. Their favourite classes were sports. I was the smallest and most heretical boy, so they always picked on me. They liked to tie me up into a little ball and then kick me around the field. At least I scored lots of goals that way. The nuns weren't all bad. They taught us lots about the world, how it was flat, and that we shouldn't go too far away from home as we'd fall off the edge of the world and end up in hell being poked in the arse with a fork by the Lord of Lies. They also told us who it was that made the world. (Hint: The answer is God!)
My father's drinking problem became worse. He lost his job in the brewery and we were evicted from our roofless house. We moved into a nearby bog. We soon evolved gills to survive in the semi aquatic environment. Then Da came home one day and told us that he'd won fifty thousand pounds at the races. He had bet all his money on a 6000-1 shot called "Tall Tales". He left telling us that he was going straight to the bank, but when he came home four weeks later he smelled of peepee and Guinness. All of the money was gone.
After I turned eight I started going to a different school. That's where I met Mister O'Phartaigh, the english teacher what taught me all my knowing of grammer and speling and litarature. He also taught me the great poetry of the world. "There was a young lad from Dundee..." and "The bridge over the silvery Tay" and also these really depressing stories written by some man called Sharkespore where everyone dies in the end. They were too much like real life for my tastes.
Mother had thirteen more babies. She sold most of them to the US marine corps to fight in Vietnam. The rest we used as Sunday roast and kindling. I wanted to become a priest so that I could condemn sinners to hell and spend all the collection plate money, but the heartless parish priest slammed the door in my face. That hasn't stopped me from condemning sinners, however.
Father's drinking had gotten a lot worse. He couldn't afford Guinness any more, so he started sucking gasoline out of cars. One day after filling up on some Shell premium, he lit a cigarette and blew himself up, along with half the town. The crater was half a mile wide. Some men came over from America and studied it very carefully. Years later I found out that they were astronauts from NASA who were training for the Apollo moon landing.
I always wish I could have told my father how I felt about him.
In Ireland you don't do things like that. It's not like in America. But just once, I should have put my hand on his shoulder and said "Dad...I just want you to know that...that you are nothing but a pathetic gobshite who drank every penny he ever earned. If you cared half as much about us as you do about the profit margin of the Guinness family, then maybe just maybe my miserable life would have been bearable. I hate you. I hate your stinking guts you smelly degenerate shitehawk." A good jab to his shrivelled kidneys and a knee in his groin would have driven the point home, but alas by then he was toast.
Soon after I turned twelve I left school and got a job in a coffin factory. I delivered coffins to all the dead ppl around town. Most of them had been killed by boredom, others had died from rain exhaustion. One day as I was delivering a coffin, I saw a lovely girl in the doorway of her house. I thought of asking her to marry me, but thought better of it and instead we had a quick shag on the carpet. A week later she died from the ebola virus. Feckin typical. Not many ppl realise that the ebola virus came from the river ebola in County Craperary, Ireland. The disease was brought to Africa by Irish missionaries, who later blamed it on the locals.
With my father in pieces, my mother had to work as a hoor to pay the rent and feed us. What a filthy dirty dishonest immoral sinning Jezebel. Because of my strict Catholic education I had much higher moral standards than that nasty skanky slut. I robbed bags of cash from some dead woman who had loads of dosh and fecked off to America where I married some nice protestant girl and lived happily ever after!
The ends justify the means, as Father Machiavelli always used to say.
The End.
(Except for the sequels. And the prequels. And all the movies and merchandising tie-ins. And the animated series.)

Remembering Canadian war dead does not interest me. Not when Canadian forces are presently occupying a country - illegally - in order to safeguard the smooth operation of foreign-controlled oil pipelines and to guarantee the construction of permanent U.S. military bases on Afghan soil.
I will not wear a poppy and pretend that Cdn. forces are fighting for my freedom or for the freedom of Afghani women and .
The soldiers who actually are fighting for freedom are Afghan men and boys who you poppy-wearers would classify as terrorists, scumbags, towelheads, Hadjis, sandniggers, etc.. They are the soldiers who deserve to be honored and remembered. Not our lads.
On Remembrance Day 2008 I remember only the demands that justice-minded global citizens have been demanding of their leaders since the bombing and illegal occupation of Afghanistan began in 2001:
- An immediate stop to the ongoing barbaric air strikes and killing of civilians!
- An immediate release of all anti occupation political prisoners from the US/NATO jails and Karzai's jails!
- A complete withdrawal of US/NATO troops from Afghanistan. NATO troops includes Canadian soldiers.
Long live the anti occupation resistance in Afghanistan!
