What More Can One Say?

Obama Is Going To Have Harsh Words With Them - Oh Wow.
Plus - You Are Still Allowing Them To Take Even More.


The one thing the Bush/Cheney Administration proved, in abundance,
is that the old adage “crime doesn’t pay,” is a sick joke in America.
Wall Street banking executives were just paid $18.4 billion, in bonuses,
from “your” taxpayer bailout funds - but not to worry. . .  Obama said
that he’s going to have “direct talks” with them.  Meanwhile, the execs,
whom are obviously -shaking in their boots- in fear of his harsh words,
are sneering all the way to their allowed parties on their allowed yachts.

I wish there was some way to convey the anger I have toward the allowing of the theft, and the continued allowing now, and the lack of the will to even really investigate, much less try and punish, the ‘wealth transfer’ criminals.

Note my anger is not at the criminals per se, but rather at the “allowers,” the so called “citizens” of this nation, that just continue to allow their own self-destruction, that continue to allow the ongoing theft, that in the end, are everything the thieves knew them to be.  Don't get me wrong, I am really angry at the criminals also, just no where near the degree I am at my fellow allowing “citizens.”  Not a lot more to say - Right?


Not to be redundant, but I have to wonder...  Why are you still allowing it to continue?

The Propagandist Right Is At A Loss As To Why, Except As “Victims.”
by the Old Hippie Because I'm Stunned By Their Confused Hate And Inept victimization.

Patriot 

They, (all of the Limbaughs, Hannitys, Becks, Coulters, et al,) spew that they are victims of the Left, (always proceeded with far- or radical- or elite-,) victims of the Media, (long controlled by their own corporatists,) victims of the Rinos, (any republican that disagrees with anything they say,) victims of any and all, except for, of course, their own hate, and their own (profitable) certainty, of which they have sneeringly spewed for the last 28 years.  But of course they can't give up, it‘s their income.

Now they spew that the nation has ‘mysteriously’ been taken over by “evil elitist leftists,” that the American people have been mislead by the liberal media, (totally ignoring the inconvenient fact that the mainstream media is controlled by just five very-pro-corporatist corporations,) and of course they are not racist to point out..., and of course they do not mention that their multi-million dollar incomes are not in jeopardy..., and of course they spew that they are the heros for standing firm that the last eight years were not the most criminal political experience of America’s last century..., and of course only un-American losers know that what they are spewing, what they are still allowed to spew, for profits, is not the truth.

But, of course - They are still “allowed” to spew these thoughts, in the “Mainstream Media,” that they still swear is controlled by the left, even though most of their allowed spewing is within the very corporatistly controlled “Mainstream Media” that they swear is victimizing them.

A “Below The Fold” Bonus Thought...

My only question is this;  How many of these vile opportunistic collaborating propagandists will be “allowed” to go to their graves with their ill-gotten economic gains?  Not to sound like Rush, but...

I seriously hope they all ‘fail’ to make it, and I seriously hope that the failures manifest themselves very-very soon, and I seriously couldn’t think of a better group of vile-sick-evil-profiteering-ilk that it should happen to, except, of course, for those that they supported - Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle, all of the Pax Americana Neocons, all of the war-profiteering corporatists, et al, along with their collaborators and sycophants they planted within all of “our” federal regulatory agencies, etc.

If You Are One Of The 34%...

Just Want To Clue You In To What You Approve Of...
by The Old Hippie Because I Thought Seeing Truth Would Change Your Minds.


Hacker
{-The Way Many Picture Me-}
 [ The following is via the excellent Crooks and Liars site... ]

The Pentagon claims that 61 ex-Gitmo prisoners had “returned to terror,” but previous Seton Hall Law studies that showed the Pentagon was lying through it's teeth.

Seton Hall now has a new report out examining the evolving claims and hyped allegations entitled Propaganda by the Numbers.  The accompanying press release says:

Professor Denbeaux of the Center for Policy & Research has said that the Center has determined that “DOD has issued “recidivism” numbers 43 times, and each time they have been wrong—this last time the most egregiously so.”


Denbeaux stated: “Once again, they’ve failed to identify names, numbers, dates, times, places, or acts upon which their report relies.  Every time they have been required to identify the parties, they have been forced to retract their false ID’s and their numbers.  They have included people who have never even set foot in Guantanamo —much less were they released from there.  They have counted people as “returning to the fight” for having written an Op-ed piece in the New York Times and for having appeared in a documentary exhibited at the Cannes Film Festival.  They have revised and retracted their internally conflicting definitions, criteria, and their numbers so often that they have ceased to have any meaning— except as an effort to sway public opinion by painting a false portrait of the supposed dangers of these men.

Fourty-three times they have given numbers—which conflict with each other—all of which are seriously undercut by the DOD statement that “they do not track” former detainees.  Rather than making up numbers “willy-nilly” about post release conduct, America might be better served if our government actually kept track of them.”

The study itself notes that  the Pentagon keeps hedging it's bets:

Eighty-two percent (82%) of the publicly made claims catalogued in the Appendix of this report contain qualifying language, including terms such as: “at least”; “somewhere on the order of”; “approximately”; “around”; “just short of”; “we believe”; “estimated”; “roughly”; “more than”; “a couple”; “a few”; “some”; “several”; and “about.”

Why?  Because the Department of Defense "does not keep track of released detainees nor does it follow their post release conduct".  It makes these claims up from data collected which might show Gitmo detainee involvement but having previously claimed as recidivists men who were never in Gitmo in the first place and someone whose only terrorist act after release was to pen an op-ed for the new York Times it's amazing that the mainstream takes them seriously.

When you really, truly, need a statistic pulled out of someone's ass - - -
...call the Pentagon's Geoff Morrell.

I'm really tired of redundantly asking, begging, screaming, crying; “What the fuck does it take?!?” to get this nation’s so called ‘citizens’ to stop the “allowing” of the insanely blatantly, and sneering theft ‘of, by, and for’ the-(pathologically sociopathic)-very-few, especially through the Military-Industrial-Congressional-Complex.

That hasn't changed much since this past “historic” presidential election.  The “citizens” spoke - loudly - in that election - But - It is turning out that, as usual for the last 30 or so years, the elected are openly ignoring we who elected them.

All of the thieves, will go to their graves, in luxury, and you, dear citizens, will “allow” them to, without real protest, without real punishment, without revolt.

But you already know that - Right?  You’ve accepted it - Right?

Sort of like you’ve “allowed” yourself to accept that self-destructive escape - Right?

Just So You Understand...

The Sense That The Change, That Is Not Change... Is Real.
It’s Dressed Up Domestically, But Foreign Affairs-Wise It’s The Same Uniform.


Historically... empires, particularly imperialistic ones, like ‘our’ Pax Americana, have used two methods to keep the masses from fucking up their plans.  They either oppress/suppress them openly or subtly, (e.g. China, etc.,) -or- they make their masses feel ‘special/exceptional’ with controlled propaganda, (e.g. Fox News, Corporate media,) false praise, (e.g. Support the troops! [but cut their funding behind their backs,]) and false kindness, (e.g. no child left behind, but don't fund it in reality,) spending just enough of ‘their’ money on domestic false infrastructure goodies to calm the majority into apathy/complacency, (e.g. Germany, Britain, America.)

“Atlas Shrugged” was a novel of fiction, and wrong.  Ayn Rand was naively idealistic in her understanding of, comprehension of, the depth the darker side of the human capacity for greed to control their actions.  Every Administration since Eisenhower has proven it, but ignored the proof as it, sociopathic greed, grew in power, culminating in the Bush administration’s greed-driven deregulation frenzy, and the final full-throttle take-over of ‘our’ federal regulatory agencies with the-very-few’s collaborators and sycophants.

You want proof of how bad it really is?

The obvious propagandists like Fox, the Hannitys’, Limbaughs’, Coulters’ are still allowed to be in the ‘mainstream’ media... ‘with respect.’

The Pentagon openly, publicly, admits to killing eight prisoners using torture, and Pax Americana collectively shrugs their shoulders.  They are still torturing humans in many of our prisons, (the not so secret “secret prisons” now,) around the planet, this torturing includes children - Children - Yet Pax Americana does nothing to stop them, even knowing it accomplishes nothing.  In fact, not stopping it even knowing it has been proven multiple times, in multiple ways, that torture only makes intel less accurate and reliable.

There are 761 ‘known’ Pax Americana military bases stretching around the planet, that ‘our’ mainstream corporate media completely, and purposefully, ignores.  Those bases are not where they are for the American massess’ security-needs.  They exist solely for greed-needs of the corporatists', (the-very-few.)  Unlike Ayn Rand, Gen. Butler was right.

But yet - When Obama wins, Pax Americana thinks alls well that ends well...

The Obama Administration, (fast proving to be the corporatists’ wet-dream of an ‘opposing’ administration, foreign affaires-wise,) says “don't look back” - Political-speak for we are not going to prosecute... Cheney openly, sneeringly, confesses to several crimes, but is confident his crimes will be allowed by the complacent masses.

Gaza.

Just so you understand...

  -  The Bush Era Has Been an 8-Year-Long Madoff-Style Ripoff
      Frank Rich, The New York Times:  “It will be easier for us and O-
      bama to push for a bold agenda if we demand accountability for the
      robbery and theft of the Bush years.  Three days after the world
      learned that $50 billion may have disappeared in Bernie Madoff’s
      Ponzi scheme, The Times led its front page of Dec. 14 with the
      revelation of another $50 billion rip-off.  This time the vanished loot
      belonged to American taxpayers.  That was our collective contribu-
      tion to the $117 billion spent (as of mid-2008) on Iraq reconstruction
      — a sinkhole of corruption, cronyism, incompetence and outright
      theft that epitomized Bush management at home and abroad.”

Shell Game: It Will Take More Than Goodwill and Greenwash to Save The Biosphere


“Nor would Van der Veer give me a straight answer to another straight question: “Is there any investment you would not make on ethical grounds?”  I asked this six times.  He was unable to furnish me with an example.  It's not hard to see why.  As well as exploiting the tar sands, which means destroying forest and wetlands, polluting great quantities of water and producing more CO2 than conventional petroleum production, Shell is still flaring gas in Nigeria, at great cost to both local people and the global climate.  It has been fiercely criticised for its secret negotiations with the Iraqi government, which led last year to the first major access for a western company to Iraq’s gas reserves.  It is prospecting for oil in some of the Arctic’s most sensitive habitats.

All this makes my question difficult to answer.  Aside from the greenwash, it is not easy to spot the practical difference between this civilised, progressive company and the Neanderthals at Exxon.”

Change - “Shades of Grey” of Corporate Political “Change”
  Any  Change Is Definitely Better Than The Last 8 Years...

Patriot 

I do worry, like many that elected him, about some of the decisions by Obama of late, a few examples; Rick Warren, extending the tax cuts that only benefit the-very-few, supporting the ‘clean coal’ delusion, filling his foreign policy cabinet with Clinton’s corporatist retreads, etc.  But - I also realize he has also made decisions that reflect what most of us do want to see as ‘change,’ as in environmental policy priorities, healthcare, national infrastructure security, ‘talking to the enemy’ first, rather than just bullying, ending the insanity of torture as national policy, job security and supporting the only voice workers have, the unions.

But I also know that the corporatists, because of the (criminal?) cronyism of the last eight years in particular, now have an almost indestructible control of our government.  It’s going to take a lot more than one Chicago politician’s efforts to turn, “change,” America back into the nation of true hope it once was.  Only time will prove if the citizens will help him to be that realization of change for the better - For the “common good” - rather than continuing to allow a nation "of, by, and for” the-very-few, and their corporatist sycophants/collaborators.

It is also obvious to me that if the citizens of this nation allow the thieves to live out the rest of their lives within their stolen luxury, without real punishment, any “accomplished change” will be temporary at best, a purposeful lie at worst.

Just things to think about - Right?

Anger Doesn’t Cover it...

The Dems Caving, Reps Admitting Crimes, Allowing Growing...
by The Old Hippie Because It Can't Get More In-Your-Face, I Had Thought.
Hacker
{-The Way Many Picture Me-}
 


I honestly don't know what the democrats are doing with this obvious display of ‘reaching across the aisle’ of late, to the proven ‘callous and uncaring’ republicans, whom have proven nothing else matters more than directing as much wealth transfer to their-very-few as possible - Nothing.

Some say that they’re giving them enough rope to hang themselves, but after eight years of that mind set, particularly since 2006's mid-term election... does anyone seriously still buy that rationalization?  I wish that were true, but now that my optimism has been stomped down so many times since Reagan/Bush began the most successful wealth transfer theft in history, and Clinton/Gore signed NAFTA/GATT accelerating corporatists’ control of governmental powers... my cynical-reality-sucks self won't let me be that naive now.

I'm no one special; not a reporter, I do not have a staff of writers, fact-checkers, etc. - I just have the internet/web as source.  I spend hours every day reading, watching, listening to everything political I can, and then spew out what I’ve found here.  I don't make money from this - There are no ads, even when they offered outrageous returns, (that alone makes me a ‘loser’ in the eyes of most republicans.)  I don't post in this blog for other’s benefit, even though I know that in some small way it helps spread the word of observed truth.

There was a time last year when I actively sought links from other sites, and would leave comments at others sites, and I suddenly was getting thousands of hits a day...  But I lost my original focus of this blog for myself, the “# of hits” became more important to me than I realized, and I lost that ‘something’ that made my writing a pleasurable outlet for me...  I began writing for others, not myself.

The difference was subtle, but it heavily effected my consistency, it became a chore, not a pleasure.  Then outrage fatigue kicked in, several times - Consistency got worse -- I almost quit.  Needless to say, my hits dropped in direct proportion to my growing inconsistency.

Now?  I'm less naive, more cynical, and more honest to myself - And more consistently posting for my own pleasure again.  Just felt the need to say that to you dear readers, and to myself.

“Center-Right Hype vs. Center-Left Data”

As the country went to the polls this past fall, the meme that America is a “center-right” country surged.  Between the last week of October and the first week of November, the number of times that phrase appeared in the print and broadcast outlets tracked by Nexis grew an astonishing 168%.

While Republicans used those words’ sudden currency to clamp a ceiling on the meaning of Obama’s victory, Democrats fought back with myth-busting poll results about the political parties that Americans identify with, and about peoples’ positions on campaign issues.  Now, new data drives a final stake into the center-right talking-point.
