Why no one should vote a "Straight Democratic Ticket"
Especially not in Wisconsin -

TD -
This is getting ridiculous. On Tuesday, four Republican activists tied to Scott Walker and the Wisconsin GOP submitted "Declarations of Candidacy" to run in the recall elections for State Senate...as Democrats!
According to the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign and leading election attorneys, these Republicans running as self-proclaimed "fake Democrats" are likely committing election fraud. At the very least, it's a sleazy, un-democratic gimmick that is set up to confuse and manipulate voters.
Help us fight back against "Fake Democrats" -- Contribute $12 today to the DFA Wisconsin Recall Campaign.
We've seen this before -- Republicans ran "fake Democrats" last summer to delay the recall process, and in doing so cost the state of Wisconsin over $500,000. This year, they aren't even trying to hide their motives. Scared of running on their failed policies that have killed public education funding, relegated women back to the 17th century, and made Wisconsin the worst in the country for job growth, they are doing the only thing they can do: delay the inevitable.
But DFA has a plan to combat this fraud with the largest ground game in our history. We'll knock on over 125,000 doors in 35 days; we'll make thousands of phone calls; we'll mobilize our more than 1 million members nationally and 25,000 members in Wisconsin to educate voters. And we'll be on the air with hard-hitting ads featuring personal stories of DFA members like you.
To make it all happen we're dedicating 8 full-time staff and 36 canvassers -- but this campaign is fully funded by small-dollar donors. Can you chip in $12 to make sure we have the resources to beat these "Fake Democrats" and Scott Walker on June 5th?
This fight is too important not to win. Please join us today.

In the USA, the top one percent has never seen such increased gains.
Most gains were taken from the struggling and soon to be extinct middle classed.
Naomi Klein and her Shock Doctrine theories have proven to be correct. And the style of "culture" that results is either control of the masses by a Mafia styled elite (as is the case now in Russia) a junta as we saw in South American nations like Chile, and Argentina, or else a totally fascist style of governing.
The thing is, most Americans refuse to see the writing on the wall. Until the leaders of the two parties tell them that it is so, and until the Talking Heads say it is. Way, way back in the nineteen sixties, Carl Jung stated that the American culture was the most conformist on earth.
And that pretty much sums it up. Name one other nation that says it is a democracy, yet only has two parties? Or that doesn't provide health insurance for all, as a given right.
It could be that the plaintiffs in Scheier's case joined the
Plaintiffs in the Rutherford Institute's case. And that case was heard by a US Court in Washington DC, and dismissed on Monday or Tuesday of this week.
Apparently the right of the Homeland Security/TSA people to do whatever they want is totally provided for on the basis of the contents of some secret cable that was not even disclosed in the court proceedings!
Yet people do not think this is a totalitarian nation...
All I know, it is not the nation I grew up in.
You do understand that MediCaid is now under-funded and that many
organizations are simply shutting down under the weight of trying to help 18 to 24% of all Americans with health care needs.
Also, people who own their homes, and are in their late fifties and sixties are very reluctant to have anything to do with MediCaid. Many states have provisions that your "estate" must pay back the monies the state lets you use, should you obtain Food Stamps or MediCaid.
Here in California, I have watched neighbor after neighbor give up on eating, and on medical care, due to what is going on in this country right now.
It didn't have to be this way. If the Obama Administration cared a bit more about the real people in this country rather than spending over 255 billions of dollars on things like modernizing the military, on offering weapons systems to the UAE and Israel, et al, we would have a vibrant nation. (These billions were counted up between August of 2010 and November of 2011. So there is a lot more money spent on war and military than just that!)
As it is, the Administration's DOJ and IRS and DEA have just knocked the medical marijuana industry on its butt. Why? Here in Calfiornia, we were dependent on the monies raised from taxing the medical marijuana industry. These monies - some 125 millions of dolalrs a year - have helped keep our schools open, and our prisons are less of a burden as well.The only thing i can think of is that Obama wants the Big Pharma campaign contributions too badly
Well, when you live inside a nation where the
Very agencies which supposedly exist for consumer protection now allow for the fungal and bacterial contaminated GM crops to proliferate - because the Mike Taylors of the world get to pronounce things safe, through their very pronouncement, and without any testing, well, what can you expect?
People's bodies simply cannot tolerate the high corn syrup that is in everything. The MSG thrown into the mix. Add to those items the fact that fusarium and vomitoxin levels of corn grown using the GM/RoundUp techniques are much higher than in the conventional corn, and you get fat Americans.
When I watched the vaccine hearings held in the
House and Senate committee during the mid-nineties, only a few of the many parents who had come with their autistic kids to testify were obese.
But until research is no longer sponsored by for Profit Big Pharma corporations, we will continue to hear how every other thing out there is a cause except the very products that are causing the autism.
The pro-vaccine crowd does not understand that the clinical trials done before the release of a vaccine last less than three months, and in some cases only six weeks. This is very deficient tsting, on the part of the industry.
Major lawsuit against TSA - and related information
You can read about the major lawsuit filed against the TSA at this URL:
http://epic.org/privacy/body_scanners/epic_v_dhs_suspension_of_body.html
"Experts" that testify before Congress on behalf of TSA state that the radiation emitted by the TSA scanning machinery is totally safe. But the studies they use do not have any relationship to what happens to our skin when it is impacted by these radiation-relaeasing measures. Meanwhile the head of radiology at Jons Hopkins states that his department did research that TSA's scanning machinery is NOT SAFE. (But of course, the TSA people spin this to say the EXACT OPPOSITE. This reminds me of what the people of California had to deal with regarding the terrible gas additive MTBE.)
Meanwhile, a Mr Schneier is saying that there are five hundred deaths a year caused by the fact that so many Americans will simply not fly any more, so they travel long distances by car and end up in car crashes. The programs established by TSA also cost the consumer some ten billion dollars in lost time as they wait at the airports. And this cost is in addition to the ten billion dollars that government uses to fund the TSA programs.
What is wrong with this list of people -
Last week, the Obama Administration let out the dogs of war against the largest Medical Marijuana Clinic in the state of California. the state of California has had a decent medical marijuana policy for over ten years. (I think it goes back to 1997.)
However, the DOJ, the IRS, and the DEA all went into Oakland last week and shut down the Oaksterdam facility. Among other matters, for the clinic to continue to operate, it could declare as tax deductions ONLY the cost of the product,t hat is, the medical marijuana itself. The business could not deduct normal business expenses such as rent, depreciation or cost of office equipment, utilities or even employee deductions.
But here is the real kicker - this comprehensive list of people who have all admitted to smoking the ganga including current day Presidential candidates. And some people who are assumed to have been smokers.

Are needed.
For one thing, when did Lord Blackheath say these things? I can tell when it was posted on Youtube, but when was this speech actually made?
And has this been followed by any one in the media. Like The Guardian? It is something that would be right up Greg Palast's alley.
