Surely we remember the Bank Bailout
But now when clearly the Working Class will suffer the brunt of the damage brought on by their inaction, they resort to games and political posturing.
Does bring to light with blinding accuracy who the Real Masters of Washington are
Should only Corporations have Assault Weapons
As we enter into a new era of gun control in America I want all of us to ask ourselves this question
I truly believe a new Assault Weapons ban is all but guaranteed in the next session but as usual the devil will be in the details. I also truly believe the Founding Fathers wanted to guarantee the Rights of every citizen to bear arms given the abuses suffered by the people of Europe at the hands of the Land Barons
Do we really want an America where only the corporations can hire Security Contractors who posses Semi and Fully Automatic Assault Weapons - Think Blackwater Security during the Katrina Hurricane
Personally I don't even want Law Enforcement to have weapons the average citizen can not have - including drones
Twinkie CEO Admits Company Took Employees Pensions and Put It Toward Executive Pay
Twinkie CEO Admits Company Took Employees Pensions and Put It Toward Executive Pay..
Hostess company continues to screw over its workers.
December 11, 2012 |
Twinkie-maker Hostess continues to screw over its workers. The company is in the process of complete liquidation and 18,000 unionized workers are set to lose their jobs. More troubling – they could lose their pensions.
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal , Hostess’ CEO, Gregory Rayburn, essentially admitted that his company stole employee pension money and put it toward CEO and senior executive pay (aka “operations”). While this isn't technically illegal, it's another sleazy theft by Hostess executives - who've paid themselves handsomely while running their company into the ground. Just last month, a judge agreed to let Hostess executives suck another $1.8 million out of the bankrupt company to pay bonuses to CEOs.
If there's no way to recover the money for the Hostess pension plans for workers, then the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. will have to foot the bill to make sure workers get at least some of the retirement money they paid in.
Hostess shows us clearly what Bain-style predatory capitalism is all about: big bucks for the very few rich executives, layoffs and poverty for the workers and their communities.

The Wealthy 1% give thanks to the Newtown shooter
Desperate people do desperate things
A Majority of Americans voted last month to move forward in America and ask the Wealthiest Americans to pay a little extra for life as we know it in these United States
Soon now as the Moneyed NRA through extensive propaganda transforms the Democratic party into the Loony Left out to take your guns. Working Americans will loose out once again as political capitol is spent and lost on both sides of the isle and a watered down gun control bill emerges at the cost of forsaking tax fairness and health care for all Americans
We will only propagate the root cause of horrific incidences like the one we had today in Newtown Conn. The working class will be asked to give up more once again. More families will have 2 working parents attempting to feed their children rather then giving them the care and nurturing they need at home and of course more deranged killers like the one we had today will emerge as a result.
And the Divisive Issue Machine continues to spin

Teaching People to Hate Their Own Govt.
Your goal for this step is to figure out how to teach the middle class to hate their own government using a strategy that takes into consideration the political climate of the United States of thirty years ago.
Teaching the middle class to hate their government was an essential part of the plan to implement Corporate Feudalism. A middle class cannot exist without a strong government. This is because only a government has the power to stand up to the giant corporations of today’s world, or the powerful individuals and private armies of earlier times. It is the government that enforces the laws to protect the middle class from those who would like to become their economic rulers. That is why prior to the Industrial Revolution and the creation of the middle class all economies were run according to some version of the feudal system. If you want to put an end to the middle class and replace it with a feudal republic, you would need to change people’s perception of their government.
Obviously a government does not have to be on the side of its people, as can be seen by the existence of countless dictatorships and oligarchies throughout the world. Even the corporatocracy that currently exists in the United States falls far short of being on the side of its middle class. But US history shows that a government committed to serving its citizens can, in fact, help create and maintain a healthy middle class even in the face of powerful corporations whose only interest is maximizing their own power and profits.
It is like the story in old westerns of a big bad landowner who takes what he wants when he wants it, ruthlessly terrorizing a town without a strong sheriff. Any individual who tries to stop the landowner is beaten into submission or killed. The situation continues until the town finds a strong enough sheriff to regain control over the landowner and his gang. This is the Old West version of the feudal system. In westerns, the feudal lord comes first and the sheriff comes later. But in the United States of thirty years ago, the government was the strong sheriff keeping the late-twentieth-century feudal lords from taking what they wanted. As long as the government was supported by its citizens—particularly its middle class—no one could ride into town and steal what belonged to the people. But if the government were weakened or destroyed, a different situation would arise. The intent of the plan for Corporate Feudalism was to convince the middle class to fire their sheriff. And that’s just what happened.

No, its not your imagination - it really is "Class Warfare"
And God sent a Mighty Hurricane to Smite the GOP convention
Hey you religious fanatics - think about it
You incite hate, steal from the poor to give to the rich, twist the teachings of the bible into distorted, hateful, lies ...
You have been a financial Sodom and Gamora on this country and when that Hurricane slams into your little Wall St. Crook Love fest, we are all going to say "God is sending you a message"
The REAL Reason Romney will not disclose his Taxes
Its not because he did any thingh illegal - it is the fact that "It is PERFECTLY LEGAL" for corporations to HIDE BILLIONS of DOLLAR$ Offshore just as Romney did when he "Incorporated Himself"
and they all do it - UNTAXED
The average working stiff can not even take his money with him to Costa Rica to retire without paying Capitol Gains tax on it
Hate to say it - But since they Closed all the Medical Marijuana Clinics down
Crime has fallen off like a Rock
Did not know they had a major growing facility just around the corner from my house. I knew my next door neighbor worked at one of the major dispensaries in town and she often - VERY OFTEN brought her work home with her and had people coming and going all day and night from her house. So much so her husband quit is job and ran "errands" through out the day and night too.
Used to be "If it wasn't Nailed Down - it disappeared from your home" ANY THING - and EVERY THING - any thing that could be turned in for scrap value, any thing that could be sold, any thing and every thing that you didn't put under lock and key would be stolen from your yard.
But that ALL has changed now that DEA showed up in town
I've been a long time advocate of Marijuana Legalization but if this "Grand Social Experiment in Medical Marijuana" out here in California was some sort of test, the users, growers, and dispensaries FAILED MISERABLY and will suffer the legal ramifications for decades to come.
Los Angeles County just voted to revoke all permits for dispensaries ...
