NSA District Democrat Representative Brings Fascist Back Surveillance Bill

The mysterious story swirling around alleged North Korean involvement in the Sony Hack and later the movie “The Interview” has become a bit clearer now. While there has never been any solid proof that linked the regime of Kim Jong Un to the hacking and alleged (but never substantiated) “terrorist” threats against movie theaters the Obama administration continued to push the blame North Korea narrative. Some more astute observers of the ongoing track towards full-blown fascism in The Homeland smelled a rat and speculated that the whole thing was just a pretense to impose even more Draconian domestic spying upon millions of law-abiding citizens. Well, now it is no longer just speculation as Congress has delivered their usual running drop kick to the crotch of powerless Americans.

As soon as the new Congress had returned from their latest taxpayer funded extended vacation it became obvious what the priorities truly are. The reintroduction of CISPA aka the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act was a top item on the agenda and will garner the typical bipartisan support that such criminal actions against the American people always get. Look for a barrage of laws that further erode the Constitution and restrict civil liberties and privacy rights in the coming year, especially since the media has been hysterically pushing fear in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo attack.

According to The Hill in a story entitled “House Dem revives major cyber bill”:

A senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee on Friday will reintroduce a controversial bill that would help the public and private sectors share information about cybersecurity threats.

“The reason I’m putting bill in now is I want to keep the momentum going on what’s happening out there in the world,” Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.), told The Hill in an interview, referring to the recent Sony hack, which the FBI blamed on North Korea.

The measure — known as the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) — has been a top legislative priority for industry groups and intelligence officials, who argue the country cannot properly defend critical infrastructure without it.

The House passed Ruppersberger’s bill last year, but it stalled in the Senate amid concerns from privacy advocates that it would enable more collection of Americans’ private information.

Ruppersberger lost his 2014 co-sponsor of the bill, former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), who retired from Congress.

“I’m putting the bill in by myself,” Ruppersberger said, acknowledging it would require work to find new bipartisan support. But by reintroducing the bill, “hopefully that will create momentum,” he added.

Ruppersberger wants to ride the wave of attention on Capitol Hill driven by the cyberattack on Sony, which caused the studio to almost cancel the release of a multimillion-dollar comedy, “The Interview,” which depicts an American plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Sony ultimately released the film to a limited number of theaters and streamed it online.

What is always left out whenever Dutch Ruppersberger is cited is that his home district happens to be the location of the headquarters of the NSA Stasi in Fort Meade, Maryland – a wretched hive of scum and villainy. The domestic spying and data-mining apparatus as well as the local economy in and around the Second Congressional District in Maryland depends on Dutch going to Washington and delivering the bacon for the expansion of the ever growing surveillance state.

The Hill piece also states that “Ruppersberger lost his 2014 co-sponsor of the bill, former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), who retired from Congress” but doesn’t mention that Rogers has taken his act to CNN. It is an example of the perverse and corrupt system that Americans now must live under that such a high-ranking figure as Rogers is able to cash in on his government experience and will now have a cable television network offering him a national forum as a pimp for the surveillance state. In regards to Rogers it is never mentioned that his wife was a lobbyist whose clients stood to profit from the very programs that he was supposed to be exercising oversight upon.

No surprise that the NSA Stasi is absolutely delighted that Ruppersberger has reincarnated CISPA with The Hill also reporting that “NSA chief wants cyber bill to fight hackers”:

The head of the National Security Agency wants lawmakers to pass a contentious cybersecurity bill to help federal officials go after hackers.

“I think it's a very important first step,” spy agency director Adm. Michael Rogers said on Fox Business Network on Friday.

“In the end, the key to our ability to be effective, I believe, as a nation in cyber, will be our ability to span the divide between the private sector and the public sector or the government.”

The controversial bill introduced by Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.) on Thursday would make it easier for private companies to share information about possible hackers and lines of attack with each other and the government. Backers say it's a critical step to ensure there are no blind spots on the country's networks.

Anyone who didn’t see where this was going with all of the sound and fury over “The Interview” and the media acting as the propagandists selling slavery repackaged as  “patriotism” while demonizing North Korea was not paying very close attention. The legislation is a wet dream for the apple pie authoritarians and their corporate allies that will profit from it. And as with everything else that this loathsome rogue government touches - a nightmare for us all.

And Then Came Petro

Granted that it wasn’t quite the 29 standing ovations that the corrupt U.S. Congress gave to the extremist leader of "God's chosen land" during a 2011 speech but Washington’s puppet from Kiev brought still brought down the house. Last week's disgusting orgy of adoration was showered upon mass-murdering Ukranian oligarch Petro Poroshenko aka the Chocolate King who was trotted out before a joint session of Congress. Porky Poroshenko was taking a break from the ongoing "anti-terrorist" operations in East Ukraine to solicit more American taxpayer loot for the US-EU-NATO Axis of Aggression kill crazy rampage sold to the schmucks as a war between freedom and the devil Vladimir Putin. The propaganda beacon for the neocon fanatics at the Washington Post editorial board ran a plea to arm the Nazis that coincided with the speech. 

While the ugly truth is that the "anti-terrorist" operations as well as the entire neocon backed coup d'etat are entirely western provoked and are being carried out by neo-Nazi death squads and militias is concealed by a propaganda machine without equal this is just another act of aggression against the American people by their true enemies: the Obama regime and the U.S. Congress.

Is John Kerry Getting a Hand Job from John McCain?

Ukraine has been flying a bit under the radar as of late thanks to the corrupt state-corporate media's ISIS obsession but a proxy war against Putin is still the apple of the neocons' eye. While the Congress further sullies the once good reputation of the USA! USA! USA! by affording false legitimacy and a thunderous series of ovations to the pig Porshenko there is an increasing sense of desperation to back the junta in Kiev.

The Vineyard of the Saker offers up this outstanding analysis of the Poroshenko spectacle:

The big event of the week was, I think, Poroshenko's speech to what I call the Imperial Senate (aka Joint Session of Congress). I have made the full transcript available here and here. I don't think that it is worth carefully parsing this text, so I will just mention the few elements which are absolutely obvious to me:

1) This text was written by a US Neocon. It even included such typical US-propaganda gimmicks as the "personal story" to give a human touch and moment carefully crafted to generate applause. So no only what the author of this rant American, but he/she was for sure a diehard Neocon.

2) This text was a lame attempt at copying Churchill's "Iron Curtain" speech, except that Poroshenko is no Churchill, Putin no Stalin and Novorussia no Soviet Union. Nonetheless, the message was clear: Russia represents a planetary threat to freedom, democracy, liberty, human right, free speech, etc. In fact, according to Poroshenko the choice is not between two civilizations but between civilization and barbaric darkness.

3) The US deep state is by now clearly aware of the immense challenge presented to it by Putin's "Eurasian Sovereignist" Russia and the movement it leads (BRICS+SCO+etc.). The fact that it has to use such absolutely over the top rhetoric is a clear sign of fear and the Neocons are now freaking out. The danger for them is becoming very real (more about that below).

4) More than anything else, this speech proved to me that the only viable goal for Russia is regime change in Kiev. This is a message I will hammer in over and over again - regime change in Kiev is a vital, arguable existential, priority for Russia.

5) Far from being any kind of patriots or nationalists, the Ukie "nationalists" are subservient puppets of the West, willing to service AngloZionist interests with less shame then a old prostitute services her clients. For all the "Glory to the Ukraine, to the Heroes Glory!" slogans, the Ukies are the cheapest prostitutes on the planet with no self-respect whatsoever.

The entire speech had a Disney-like feel to it: on one side, the forces of Light, lead by the USA in white shining armor and on the other, the forces of Darkness, lead by Russia crawling out of the Asian steppes like Lovecraft's Chtuhlu. Infantile to the extreme, the purpose of the speech was to induce a planetary war against Russia and her allies or, at the very least, to contain that 21st century Mordor. 

Poroshenko went as far as referring to now completely disproved lies (such as Russia invading Georgia in 2008) and hinting that Moldova, Georgia, Kazakhstan, the Baltic States, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria. could/would be next. Clearly the main can lie with an ease which any used car salesman would envy.

Then there is the issue of the standing ovations. Less than Obama and less than Netanyahu, but still a lot (12 I think). The Imperial Senators appeared to stand longer and clap harder each time Poroshenko drifted off into some kind of crazy nonsense. A scary sight, really.

Now we all know who runs the US Congress (AIPAC) so what this is, really, is a declaration of war by AIPAC and the Zionist faction of the AngloZionist Empire. The Anglos are far less enthusiastic as shown by Obama's refusal to send weapons to the Ukies. Just like in 2008 and that other lunatic - Saakashvili - I get the feeling that there might be a lot of behind the scenes Neocon "parallel diplomacy" going on. If not, why would Obama's bosses tell Poroshenko to ask for weapons they don't want to give him in the first place? My guess is that there is a lot of reluctance in the Pentagon and possibly in the intelligence community to get the USA fully committed behind a regime which might not be around in a few months.

Whatever may be the case, Poroshenko's speech felt like an infantile but nasty declaration of war. Clearly, there are those who are very concerned that peace might break out.

Obama has refused to arm Poroshenko’s Nazis – for now. But this could change any day with the Democrats in full desperation mode to avoid losing the Senate in November.

Washington Redskins Name Controversy is Just Another Distraction

The political correctness warriors have recently had their target coordinates set upon forcing the NFL's Washington Redskins football franchise to change it's name as it is offensive to a certain aggrieved demographic - the American Indian. Not that the US government gives a damn about Indians, the genocidal mass slaughter of the nation's only true indigenous people during the era of western conquest and Manifest Destiny doesn't get much play from the corrupt national government nor in their pocket media. Nor does the ghettoizing of American Indians onto reservations and the institutional racism of broken treaties and stolen land but when there are political points being scored, all of the sanctimonious sacks of shit across the fruited plain (primarily Democrats in an election year) are outraged - yes indeed, outraged at the sheer immorality of the DC area's professional football franchise's nickname. Just more of the same hypocrisy in a slightly different package.

Not that there are more important things to spend taxpayer dollars on than frivolous crusades involving sports teams and figures, remember how the US Congress dragged numerous professional baseball stars before them to grovel over alleged steroid usage but the same US Congress couldn't be bothered with the ongoing series of illegal wars, torture, holding Wall Street looters accountable to the law or reigning in the NSA Stasi. Kicking around guys like Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens who are basically helpless makes for good television and does not piss off campaign donors. So once again, while Iraq is on the edge of total anarchy and Obama is ready to double down on Bush-Cheney's war crimes by sending the troops back in and bombing the hell out of even more innocent civilians - murdering them as if they are are as expendable as the American Indians once were - the time and money of the American taxpayer continues to get pissed away on lame horseshit like today's government intervention to strip the Redskins of their trademark.

In an action that portrays the most petty abuses of big government meddling the US Patent Office has formally stripped the Redskins of their trademark protection. According to a story in The Guardian entitled "US patent office strips Washington Redskins of 'offensive' trademarks":

The US Patent and Trademark Office announced on Wednesday that it is to cancel six trademark registrations belonging to the Washington Redskins, ruling that the NFL team's name is disparaging to Native Americans.

In a landmark decision, the offices's trademark trial and appeal board found that the name cannot be trademarked under federal law, which prohibits the protection of names that “may disparage” individuals or groups, or “bring them into contempt or disrepute”.

“We decide, based on the evidence properly before us, that these registrations must be cancelled because they were disparaging to Native Americans,” the board wrote in its ruling.

Amanda Blackhorse, who brought the case against the team, called the ruling a "great victory for Native Americans – and for all Americans".

The team said on Wednesday that it would appeal the decision and insisted that its right to protect its trademarks was not affected by the ruling, which would not take effect until the appeals process is complete.

The weeping and gnashing of the teeth by Democrats - 50 US Senators led by the soon to be Minority Leader Harry Reid recently sent a formal letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell basically demanding that he intervene on behalf of the Democratic National Committee (not officially worded as such) to force the name change - primarily more out of the need to be a fundraiser for the Jackass Party's 2014 election hopes which are dismal and to fire up their base.  No Republicans were asked to sign Reid's silly letter - although that doesn't excuse them from being a pack of disgusting racist bastards - making it evident that this is just another political stunt. Like the Democrats don't have anything better to do, perhaps holding their dear leader Obama accountable for the unconstitutional spying rampage of his NSA would be a start or stopping the incompetent idiot before he starts World War III. But that isn't the way that the Democrats roll, choosing to manipulate Hispanics, women, gay people and any other identity based demographic for political gain in as cynical a manner possible. The crusade to force the Redskins to change their name is a perfect example.

To his credit - and I don't readily offer up much to a shameless, four-flushing, arrogant sleazy rich prick like him - team owner Daniel Snyder correctly took a stand and told the cynical culture warriors to go and fuck themselves. In comments made by NFL broadcasting king Al Michaels during a recent interview with sports talk host Jim Rome the longtime icon not only expressed his own sentiments but offered those of Snyder. I excerpt the following from the Washington Post sports blog story entitled "Al Michaels says Redskins name debate ‘is nuts’":

Anyhow, NBC “Sunday Night Football” play-by-play man Al Michaels was on Jim Rome on Showtime this week, where he was featured on the Front Row segment. Rome asked Michaels whether he thought Daniel Snyder would hold on to the name.

“It seems to me as if he is going to hold on,” Michaels said. “I mean all of the sudden — I mean, for 70-some odd years this was a zero issue, and then it became an issue. I understand we live in this politically correct environment. It’s crazier than ever; you know, senators want to weigh in on this, like there’s nothing better to do in Congress. This becomes a big issue. I mean, I just think it’s nuts. And I do know, I’ve talked to Snyder about it — not recently but when we were in Washington last year — and he basically said “over my dead body.’ ”

And today, in the aftermath of the actions by the US Patent and Trademark Office the feeding frenzy is akin to those annoying shoppers stampeding to the free samples tables at Costco.  The scrum is on with the feckless wonder Harry Reid, former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann (he of the famous broken leg) to the millionaire radio degenerate Howard Stern are racing the cast of thousands to jump on the bandwagon. Wouldn't their outburst of energy be better channeled in opposing the fact that Barack Obama (who himself has trashed the Redskins nickname for political gain) not commit the USA!, USA!, USA! to a historical disaster with another incursion into Iraq?

Anyway, given the collapsing state of the world this story is basically nonsensical bullshit which is my point to begin with, so just file it away in that category with all of the other weapons of mass distraction that our political elite so often use to keep the bewildered herd in exactly that state of perplexity.

Redskins Name Change is Another Silly Political Circus

Wars everywhere, massive and unfettered unconstitutional surveillance and data-mining programs, systemic government corruption, long-term structural unemployment, growing income inequality, global loss of prestige, crumbling infrastructure, the inability to compete in the global marketplace due to poor education, a huge for-profit prison system, paramilitary police goon squads, the death of the American dream, torture chambers at the US concentration camp at Gitmo, wanton criminality in every nook and cranny of the revolving door between Washington and Wall Street - No Problem at all! Forcing the Washington Redskins of the National Football League to change their name - Holy Shit! Scramble the crisis units and bring Senate business to a halt for this massive national emergency. Congress pulls this sort of crap all of the time, like dragging has been baseball players like Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire and others into their ridiculous tribunals instead of practicing legitimate oversight on real problems and focusing on doing their damned jobs rather than showboating.

The latest farce involves a letter submitted to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell this week asking him to consider changing the team name. According to a story in Sports Illustrated which now so often forays into the realm of national politics and pimping the government line - such as with covering up the state of martial law declared last year in Beantown by promoting the feel good tales of Boston Strong - the letter was dated May 21, 2014 and as I excerpt:

“The N.F.L. can no longer ignore this and perpetuate the use of this name as anything but what it is: a racial slur. We urge the N.F.L. to formally support a name change for the Washington football team.”

“We urge you and the National Football League to send the same clear message as the N.B.A. did: that racism and bigotry have no place in professional sports.”

That the letter perfectly capitalizes on the time of the NBA's stripping of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling for making racist comments that were secretly recorded and reek of a setup and that no Republicans were asked to sign it is just evidence that the entire thing is an election year charade. Not that the Republicans have the time to get onboard this ship of fools, they are too busy masturbating over the latest Benghazi dog and pony show.

Is it politically incorrect? Sure but only more so in an election year. Do the descendants of Native Americans have every right to be offended? I can't speak for them but I would think that having your ancestors fucking slaughtered by raving John Wayne hammerhead prototypes under the pretense of Manifest Destiny would be a far more serious grievance than what the hell some football team calls itself - and has called itself ever since the team relocated from Boston back in 1937. Jesus Christ - get a life people. The ginned up outrage is led by that sissified little twit Harry Reid, a wimp with an insatiable taste for the sand that has been kicked into his face like the weakling in that famous old advertisement cartoon for Charles Atlas. Go and sell that bullshit to the Fighting Irish in South Bend, Indiana Harry!

I would think that a larger problem is the National Football League's infatuation with militarism and the flag-sucking that is a part of every major broadcast - particularly in the current era of the endless wars after the day that changed everything. It is impossible to enjoy watching a game without being bludgeoned by the big red, white and blue club wielded by the networks and the league itself. Never is it more apparent than during the big nationally televised opener in September which always falls right around the anniversary of 9/11 and nationalism and war worship is crammed down spectator's throats from the pregame onward. There is always the obligatory military flyover, hope that the American taxpayers enjoy it because they are paying for it, the honor guard and on Thanksgiving day the nauseating tributes to our precious military.

If there was ever a sport that was made for America it is professional football, it is a 'sport' custom made for militarist American imperialism and the now fully mutated form of capitalism that a constant state of armed conflict needs to exist. Former NFL player Dave Meggyesy drew much criticism when he nailed it in a speech delivered at Syracuse University that “symbolically and metaphysically, big-time football represents our violent culture and the mode of authoritarianism. It has as its keynote competition and militaristic, organized violence.” This was in the seventies during the Vietnam war, a completely unnecessary and ruinous military misadventure in which over fifty thousand Americans and millions of Vietnamese were killed for nothing - besides the ability of greedy American corporations to now use the country as yet another one of their cheap labor havens to which well-paying jobs have been offshored by the millions since around the time that the twin towers fell.

No matter how much total horseshit that this name thing change is in the larger scheme of things, and again I do recognize that some of Native American descent are offended but if the Redskins do knuckle under and agree to renounce the nickname it will be far more out of the potential to make more money than any bowing to the political correctness Nazis. Just imagine how much coin can be made by selling all of that brand new, officially authorized NFL merchandise like shirts, jackets, dog sweaters and thousands of other items! It will be as if money rained down from the heavens on Roger Goodell and Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, a thoroughly slimy little prick who makes Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones look like the fucking Pope. The league itself will also shine in the same manner that it does when exploiting National Breast Cancer Awareness Month with special pink hued team apparel which the proceeds go to charity but the real prize - appealing to the female demographic is a matter of invaluable goodwill towards the NFL.

Perhaps a more appropriate team name would be the Washington Whores in honor of the pack of unprincipled and rapacious jackals who are our representatives.

Wall Street Rejoices as Bernanke’s Policies Will Live On

The confirmation hearings for Obama’s new Federal Reserve head Janet Yellen are an indication that more of the same failed policies will continue to subsidize the Wall Street casinos. With the 2014 mid-term elections looming and Obamacare looking every bit the disaster that could have been expected by letting the insurance companies basically write the law much credit to Senator Max Baucus, one of the most corrupt swine in the U.S. Congress. The website rollout was a clusterfuck of monumental proportions, people were jettisoned from the policies that the liar in chief told them they could keep and the brutal realization that greedy corporations were going to use the program to dump dependents from coverage hit Americans like another punch to the gut. This is a pummeling that they should be accustomed to under the rule of the penultimate footstool for Wall Street and bagman for corporate interests Obama and it is about to get worse. Today’s Yellen hearings sent the markets soaring in inverse proportion to Barry’s approval rating but while the speculators are approaching orgasm the vampires are taking flight to suck the last remaining drops of blood from the besieged middle class.

Wall Street gamblers are chortling with unabashed glee that Chairman Ben’s replacement is now on record as not only not going to put the helicopter fleet on stand down but is a damned certainty to continue to use QEternity to create digital money and funnel it into buying bad paper of the same banksters who destroyed the economy. This should surprise absolutely nobody who has been any paying attention to this ongoing scheme to artificially inflate the markets to enrich only the big boys and beggar the rest of us peasants. The perversion of capitalism will roll on under Calamity Janet as the bubble just gets bigger and bigger along with the catastrophic shock wave that will be released when it eventually explodes and there is no way that it will not do exactly that. They key is for the elitists to stockpile enough real assets, hire private security firms (mercenaries) to protect their compounds, fill up their wine cellars and get the hell out before it does. Let the little people deal with it when the ATMs no longer work and hordes of desperate people take it to the streets to engage in an existential struggle for food. The dollar will collapse along with the economic system and it will take a proverbial wheelbarrow full of Reichmarks to but a bag of freaking Doritos. For those who survive the scrum there will be plenty of food in the for profit prisons and relocation facilities that they will be sent to but Yellen and her ilk will be sitting pretty and watching the show.

Expect Yellen’s ticket to be punched in the true bipartisan manner that is always mustered from our rancidly corrupt politicians whenver it comes to time to protect the interests of the true owners of what George W. Bush once referred to as “the ownership society” - what it really means is that they own all of our asses. As the late George Carlin once nailed it, “it’s a big club and you aren’t in it”. There will be some Republican resistance although it will be portrayed by the state-corporate media as largely being confined to the noisy rabble that is the now discredited and co-opted tea party. At least when Ron Paul was still in congress we could count on the old man giving a good roasting to Bernanke when the former Time Person of the Year showed up to testify but Janet Yellen won’t get the same treatment. Any serious questioning is likely to be spun as a part of the Obama spinmeisters bumper sticker  war on women and she will get the free pass afforded to the moneychangers.

The Christmas bonuses will be awarded to the looter capitalists on Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange crowd will break into a chorus of “Joy to the World” as the greedy pigs gorge themselves on champagne and caviar as the sweet, sweet spike of the next fix is jammed into the arm of the junkie markets. Crack ho economics again, the holiday season will be one that is very festive in the enclaves of The Hamptons, Martha’s Vineyard and other posh retreats where the hedge fund hyenas are the dominant indigenous species. The rest of the schmucks can mournfully scrounge through the remnants of Chinese manufactured crap in the bargain bins come Black Friday.  In America the elite reign supreme, it is as though it were their divine right as codified and enforced by the power of the state. Decades of television and movies have fully indoctrinated the masses of asses into glorifying ghoulish fiend CEOs and full blown swine like Donald Trump are to be honored as though he were the Pope. While “class warfare” may be a dreaded and unspeakable term in the lexicon of the elite it is only because it is a war that they have not only won but crushed all in their path, a blitzkrieg of greed that has become a testament to American ingenuity when it comes to rigging the system, tilting the tables and fixing the game.

Howard W. Campbell Jr. from Kurt Vonnegut’s classic novel Slaughterhouse Five:

America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American journalist Kin Hubbard “It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.” It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: “If you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?” There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand glued to a lollipop stick and flying fom the cash register.

Seep will be sheep and along with lemmings they shall wander the land, an economic diaspora in a wasteland of their own choosing.  As their “owners” continue to gorge themselves the flock of the forlorn are incapbable of anything remotely resembling the sort of righteous indignation that could get them back into the game. Shorn of their money and their pride and brainwashed by reality television such as “who wants to be a millionaire” they engage in silly squabbles and accept their enslavement by the moneychangers. They have conditioned to worship mammon and call it God, a false religion that ensures that the fatted calves will continue to live large in their comfortably secluded strongholds secure in their knowledge that Obama, Helicopter Ben and Calamity Janet will deliver the goods.  The only thing missing from the legions of suckers who continue to put up with this bullshit is a candy coating and a stick shoved up their assholes.

You never know thought, that stick may end up being a spit when the food trucks stop rolling a few weeks after it all has collapsed.

Serial Perjurer Clapper Plays the Fear Card

The establishment is beginning to grow restive over the failure of our political buffoons and narcissists to rescind the partial government shutdown and increase the debt ceiling. While it is still a dead bang certainty that a last minute agreement will materialize, primarily to save the reckless bets of the Wall Street gambling casinos other elements of the overstuffed fascist police state are playing the fear card to ensure that none of their money sucking programs suffer cuts. On the same day that it was revealed that Obama’s NSA Stasi is using their lawless impunity to vacuum up the email address books of millions of law abiding Americans a story ran in McClatchy blaming Barry for “putting the country at risk” for not cutting the inevitable deal with House Republican insurrectionists. The story in question, a fine puff pastry piece of state propaganda entitled Shutdown Misstep: How Obama Plan Put the Country at Risk, written by some payroll weasel who goes by the name of  Anita Kumar bestows state media legitimacy upon Obama’s Director of National Intelligence and serial perjurer James Clapper as well as other high level U.S. Stasi swine.

The Kumar piece spent a good amount of time bemoaning that the partial shutdown put thousands of government teat sucking bureaucrats and the operatives of the most invasive and oppressive spying system in human history out on furlough. For good measure it interjected the warmed over Bush-Cheney rhetoric (since adapted by Barry) was putting the country at risk. The piece as well as serving as a mini-hagiography of Clapper goes on to cite a good number of 'experts' who obviously have much riding on their well paid gigs within the disinformation sphere that protects the NSA and other intelligence agencies from too much scrutiny here in Der Homeland. No mention whatsoever was given to the story in The Guardian (where else?) that featured the very creator of the USAPATRIOT Act, Congressman James Sensenbrenner denouncing the monster that he created and leading efforts to drive a stake through it's rotten black heart. Sensenbrenner also appropriately tabbed Clapper as the professional fibber that he is and called for his prosecution. But in going with the way that we honor our criminals here in the rotting republic of greed and wanton stupidity the perjuring bastard is treated as some sort of hero. Especially when he is trotted out to scare the bejesus out of the lemmings to preserve the funding for his precious authoritarian voyeur programs. 

These bastards have no shame whatsoever, these out of control fascist agencies need to be broken into millions of pieces and scattered to the winds not given free reign to enslave American taxpayers using their own tax money. Citing “The Clapper’s” testimony at a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing the man who would in a decent society currently be cooling his heels in the iron bar hotel  dissembled that “each day that goes by, the jeopardy increases”.  The sheer disingenuous nature of the piece is made even more obvious when that insipid, corrupt blathering sow Diane Feinstein is quoted as well “our country is at heightened risk of terrorist attack” slobbered Di Fi, stressing out over the very thought of her hubby’s portfolio taking a ding without the endless flow of taxpayer money sluicing into the defense-surveillance industrial complex that they both profit immensely from.  Rather than dig much more into the article, which isn’t suitable for bird cage liner the remaining days until that financial doomsday clock strikes 00:00 will be filled with much of the same idiotic nonsense from those who have the most at stake money wise in the metastasizing of the U.S. security colossus.

The coming days will see more fear-mongering and nonsense by the high criminals who have burrowed deeply into our most corrupt of governments and have like the junkie gamblers on Wall Street have become as addicted to their ill gotten gains.  It is the continuing hope of this writer that the tea party insurgents, who I have absolutely nothing else in common with are successful in dealing a blow to this monstrous system by allowing all of the schemes to implode by allowing the debt ceiling to not be raised again. The only way that Clapper, Feinstein and their trough feeding cohorts will stop sucking off of the unsustainable system will be if the credit limit is restricted and they can go and make a decent living as anything other than the fascist parasites that they are. 

Despite “Shutdown” State Fascism Continues

The game is on with the phony government “shutdown” as team elephant and team jackass engage in a corporate-state media scrum to assign the blame for this latest ploy. Despite the political chicanery and eye-gouging it is important to understand that the government is NOT shutting down. The killing machine will be funded just as it always is. In another example of the lie of government gridlock due to partisan bickering the congressional con artists made sure that the precious corporate enforcers, our heroic  soldiers will be paid so that our imperial stormtroopers can go on killing in foreign lands to benefit the bottom lines of those who truly run this place. The fascist infrastructure will also continue to hum along, the scum in congress will keep drawing paychecks and once again the burden of the failure of this rotten government will only be felt by the little people and not necessarily the legions of career bureaucrats with their cushy federal jobs. The real victims will be those who own businesses that rely heavily on their income from government workers or attractions. If you happen to own a small mom and pop diner in one of the national parks you’re screwed but it’s not like the ‘leaders’ of this country give a tin shit about you anyway. Fans of very bad college football games may be early benefactors though as the Navy-Air Force contest may be called off this weekend.

John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute just posted a piece on the farcical shutdown over at antiwar.com which offers up what should be highly pertinent information that is not being reported in the state media. The piece, entitled Police State “Programs Not Affected by a Government Shutdown” is a primer on the things that truly matter in a fascist state like The Homeland. I excerpt the following:

Indeed, the one area not impacted in the least by a government shutdown will be the police/ surveillance state and its various militarized agencies, spying programs and personnel. Take a look at the programs and policies that will not be affected by a government shutdown, and you’ll get a clearer sense of the government’s priorities – priorities which have, as I point out in my new book, A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, little to do with serving taxpayers and everything to do with maintaining power and control, while being sold to the public under the guise of national security.

Yes indeed. The spying will continue as will bullying government goons intimidating and shaking down hapless travelers (and fondling children) at airport checkpoints, the drones will control the skies, the jackboot of the militarized police state will continue to stomp and our blessed troops will continue to have full funding to murder brown-skinned people in foreign lands. Nice work if you can get it and power hungry thugs always are able to accumulate more than their share of positions of authority an any closed society, it is no different here despite the assertions otherwise from the paid liars.

In a thoroughly deceptive story at Reuters written by longtime establishment hack Mark Hosenball and entitled “U.S. spy agencies face big layoffs in government shutdown” the writer laments the amount of “non-essential” employees within the American Stasi apparatus face furloughs and layoffs due to the congressional shenanigans. Buried deeply in the Hosenball story though is the ‘reassuring’ news that foreign countries would be picking up the slack - “However, among the types of activities likely to be cut back as a result of furloughs are strategic planning and analyses and some for “foreign liaison” activities. In many parts of the world, U.S. agencies rely heavily on their partnerships with local spy outfits, such as Britians MI5 and MI6 and Israel’s Mossad”. While not exactly new revelations they are enormously disturbing as foreign counties have little consideration for U.S. laws and in the case of Mossad are particularly more concerned with the furthering of Israeli interests than those of Americans. The culpability of the NSA in providing data on law abiding Americans to Israel has already been recently revealed and while the country itself may be a critical regional ally in hostile territory the current leadership has spent years attempting to goad the U.S. into what would be a ruinous war on Iran.  Not that the watchers have any loyalty to this country to begin with, that is apparent by their sneering disdain for the Constitution.

Said leader, Benjamin Netanyahu is this very week slithering around on American soil doing his damned best to continue to push for this dysfunctional and already financially drained country to do the dirty work of attacking Iran and then absorbing the blowback for it. Despite the change in Iran's leadership with the crazed  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad giving way to the more rational new president Hassan Rouhani who is already toning down the rhetoric and even denounced the inflammatory Holocaust denial of his predecessor Bibi is having none of it. The Israeli strongman followed up last year's United Nations display where he showed up with a childish cartoon picture of a bomb right out of a Road Runner cartoon to make his point about a "red line" with more Iran bashing demagoguery today, hardly a man who is a voice of reason. I mean to hell with diplomacy when you can rant like a paranoid manner in front of a world forum, preaching only to the amen choir about the need for Americans to squander more blood and treasure to fight the war that you don't have the stones to go it alone on.

Hell, it's not like we cash challenged, star-spangled cowboys need more war and by God we send enough of our damned money to Israel AND Saudi Arabia to buy their own damned weapons and fight their own damned wars. It is painfully apparent we have plenty of our own problems here that should take priority over the whims of warmongers and the corrupt foreign leaders that they draw support from. Netanyahu and his crony Bandar Bush are still fuming over Barrys’s forced backdown of the Syria attack after he and Secretary of Skull and Bones Kerry were punked by Vladimir Putin and they want blood, that is American blood to flow by agitating for U.S. troops to be fed into a war of wars. If Netanyahu is so damned intent at attacking Iran let him go it alone, after all, his country already possesses hundreds of nukes as well as chemical weapons stocks - neither of which are subject to restrictions and threats of military attacks if they are not surrendered.

It is always the U.S. war machine and it’s ‘allies’ that are exempted from any sort of civilized behavior, no wonder that this place is ready to collapse. But it is going to be  the average Joe and Jane and their children and grandchildren who have to suffer for the rank idiocy, corruption and elitism of our leaders and their "allies" who only understand graft, lies, murder and thievery as is evident by this faux shutdown while the war machine rolls on and the NSA gets their jollies in trolling Facebook accounts of law abiding Americans and tracking former spouses and girlfriends.
Is this a great country or what?

The Government Shutdown Dog and Pony Show

The distractions are mounting as Barry and the boys seek to divert public attention from their mounting heap of failed policies and he has plenty of company with both parties of a lousy, failed and corrupt congress pitching in .  The crisis of the week are the ludicrous threats to shut down the government over the standard elephants vs. jackasses pissing contest. This dance is an ongoing hoax that is intended to dupe clueless Americans into thinking that they actually have a two party political system - they don't. The sturm and drang emanating outside of  the D.C. sewers occupied by an insane, out of control government will end just as the last 'crisis did the last time that the  clicking time clocks of the budget wars, hysterically hyped by the state-corporate media did when the so-called “fiscal cliff” was averted back in January. Let’s get one thing straight - the U.S. government as it is currently configured only exists for two real reasons - 1) to wage war and make billions for the weapons industry and 2) to serve the interests of the plutocrats who have the dough to buy influence, this second group includes the high finance jackals and hedge fund hyenas. The parasitical looter class (#2) already got theirs last week when Chairman Ben decreed that the ongoing taxpayer supplied narcotic of free money would continue to be indefinitely delivered to the junkie banks. In true capitalism these recklessly run and cancerous institutions would have simply been allowed to go under as the failures that they are, the criminals in charge should have done the perp walk and gone to prison where they belong  and the banks placed into receivership, cleaned up and then turned back over to responsible private hands. But here in the 21st century banana republic that we live in they are deemed “too big to fail” and the rest of society continues to be shaken down to keep the financial crack heads on their permanent buzz and screw anyone else, they have absolutely no say in the matter.

Then there is the warfare state (#1) while  temporarily laying back in the weeds it continues to scheme and play the angles for the coming attack on Syria and with a bit of luck Iran as well.  There is no way that the government is going to be shut down given the dependency of these two abhorrent bloodsucking entities on the never ending flow of  state largess that they would be unable to function without.  All of the hand-wringing, caterwauling and weeping and gnashing of teeth of the presstitute media and the court jesting political elitists is admittedly a sardonically amusing show but at the end of the day there will inevitably be some sort of miraculous bi-partisan ‘deal’ struck in order to avoid disaster and keep the money spigots flowing into our national murder and gambling cartels.  The only thing that is definite is that when the armistice is struck that we being the average law-abiding Americans who are not connected and thereby given access to suckle the teats of the beast will once again be left holding a flaming bag of dogshit while the band strikes up hail to the chief.

The threatened shutdown (I just wish that they actually had the balls to do it) is but one of the puppet shows casting shadows upon the wall for the slaves. Obama is of course milking the latest mass shooting for political gain while the ghoulish Wayne LaPierre (an insult to any rational law-abiding gun owner) is given prime Sunday morning airtime to engage in histrionics on Press the Meat while continuing to dispense his hogwash about “not enough good guys with guns” about the shootings. The gun industry gets their pop whenever LaPierre is trotted out, a pimp’s pimp and a lobbyist with few peers but doesn’t it all seem just a bit ridiculous when the “not enough good guys with guns” argument is used about a Navy yard? I mean this isn’t a grade school where the most powerful weapon to combat an out of control armed menace is a squirt gun. But for all of LaPierre’s contortions you have to give it to Barry for the sheer chutzpah of invoking our fallen ‘heroes’ to fire up his base and to feed the fires of the type of gun owners who are so easily duped into thinking that he is going to take them all away. As for the invocation of ‘heroes’,  do you recall a day when every dead soldier, cop and first responder wasn’t a hero?  The term " hero" has no real meaning anymore so much has it been abused for political gain at every opportunity since September 11, 2001 by the political elite. Obama gave a speech on Sunday that was a textbook example of the audacity of shamelessness, invoking the names of victims of last week’s shooting as well as the Sandy Hook dead while calling for that most bipartisan of things - assigning more power to the rogue government to keep you safe, don’t ask questions, they will use the power wisely - just look at the NSA.

There are distractions aplenty, take crazy John McCain’s letter published in the Russian tabloid media calling out Putin who is riding high after making an ass of Obama and Kerry, or that diligent, always on the beat cop Darrell Issa on his silly choreographed trip to Libya trying to rekindle media attention for his ridiculous ongoing Benghazi farce. I have yet to hear the news that  Congressman Grand Theft Auto will be convening hearings on the crimes of the NSA Stasi but the slimy bastard knows well to not shit where he eats. There is the rank idiocy of the GOP’s crusade against Obamacare but that massive fraud also happens to benefit the insurance parasites and their Wall Street brethren, it isn’t going away - EVER. So it is no matter what the Texas Zamboni Ted Cruz may grandstand about to enthrall the low hanging fruit of his base nor Senator Lindsay Graham pandering to the conservative tea party voters in South Carolina who know he's full of crap by squealing that the ACA (aka Obamacare) bill "sucks" while on Fox News it is all a scam. Not to infer that the fair senator from the palmetto state isn't an authority on vacuum theory, I have long suspected that he could suck a golf ball through a fifty foot garden hose.  These people are the same immoral, perverted, cheating, on the take, psychopathic, lying gangsters who are along with the assclown in chief over at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue have us all on the brink of collapse thanks to their arrogance and hubris. It is all a bipartisan effort too because truthfully, the average American Joe or Jane are viewed by all of these weasels as schmucks, marks and rubes. We have only two species in America today and that is cattle and vampires. The vampires of course have the money with which to keep the cattle around for feeding purposes only.

But in the background, behind the rotting bunting draped across the center stage of the grand three ring circus the neocons and their propagandists and foreign allies are relentlessly repackaging their plot to attack Syria and start WW III. Now they are looking to influence an already in the bag United Nations to put into place an authorization for military action to jump start their war efforts after their silly poison gas stunt failed abysmally to gin up the public outrage. I would imagine some sort of new narrative emerging over the Kenyan shopping mall tragedy, that porcine terrorist supporter Peter King is already hyping the involvement of several "Americans" in the savage plot. With the holiday shopping season upon us there is nothing quite as persuasive as swarthy men in turbans stealthily invading malls in a town near you. The war freaks are going to get a good amount of mileage out of Al-Shabob's killing spree. Too bad that there weren't enough good guys with guns in that Nairobi shopping emporium.  The fanatical bigot Peter King's inevitable new round of anti-Muslim hearings in which every convenience store owner across the land of Middle Eastern descent could be dragged in by state goons is a perfect example of why this government should be shut down.

The one argument that I would have against it is that there is no way that it could ever be as entertaining as the oversexed adulterer Bubba Clinton chasing that chubby little thong clad trollop Monica Lewinski around the digs that we all pay for. Let's face it, Barry is just plain boring and video footage of a narcissist whiling away the time of a closed government eating taxpayer funded pizza and watching his 100 greatest teleprompter hits to while away the time just doesn't cut it.

Common Sense: Obama Flack's Condescending Pitch for War

With still absolutely zero proof that the regime of Syrian Bashar Al-Assad ordered the Ghouta gassing the hucksters in the Obama administration are now descending into the territory normally inhabited by used car salesmen.  Barry’s Chief of Staff Denis McDonough made the rounds on the Sunday morning bloviation circuit to pimp the coming unprovoked attack on Syria. In a storming of the sets of all five major talking head shows it was a feat of McCainesque proportions and a triumph to the ability of the fascist warfare state to splice modern technology with a Joseph Goebbels style message. With the war pornography of convulsing kiddies in excruciating agony already being promoted by CNN to manufacture consent in order to break down the defenses of many minds with pure, raw emotion the playing field was in essence prepped. Now it is time for the Obama game of thrones to demonstrate his power as a real, live war president.

It was during the McDonough Sunday whirlwind that the latest in the line of shifting rationales for Obama and Kerry’s attack was floated as a trial balloon. You see, hissed McDonough, his serpentine tongue flickering, the war can be justified if Americans would only apply the “common sense test” in order to to firmly affix the devil horns onto Assad. Just eat your broccoli like good children, shut up and trust us. This evil man is gassing his own people, just like Saddam did to Iranians with the full backing of the U.S. Notably, a story in the Sunday edition of the  New York Times despite blaming Syria’s compiling of chemicals on “Iran” and “Russia”, what should have been the lead was buried in that the story acknowledges that “some of the chemicals came from Western European suppliers and even a handful of American companies”.  This of course did not make it into McDonough’s talking points which should surprise nobody who understands the big con that is being played now.

So this is what it now comes down to in our sad state of  deteriorating Idiocracy in that the flouting of international law, defying the will of the American people and potentially starting WW III no longer even merits any actual proof. In addition to the dispensing of easily digestible lemming food by Mr. McDonough the rationale for this disaster in the making is also shifting now.  It isn’t even so much the twitching, gasping babies anymore that calls for a shock and awe response – it is tosend a message to Iran.  Now that the cat has been let out of the bag it is only more despicable and criminal for this grotesque perversion of an administration to continue to push the preposterous folderol of the chemical weapons attack on Syrian civilians as justification for war. It has all been preordained, the Project for the New American Century (PNAC)  is back on again after a four year interregnum. The first term of Barack H. Obama was all stagecraft, an elaborate hoax to fumigate the stench of Bush-Cheney and to put a friendly face on the same bloody imperialism that can only end in world conquest or world destruction. The Fozzie Bear fascism of Obama is exactly that, the proverbial iron fist was only concealed in a velvet glove but when it comes to the slaughter of innocents there is no difference, in the end they are just as dead. A statement that can also be used in regards to the still undetermined number of victims of the Ghouta gassing, are they really any more dead than if they were just so much “collateral damage” from one of Obama’s drone strikes or from Bush’s bombs and white phosphorous?

So we all wait with baited breath as Barry’s crackerjack team of liars, spin doctors and technicians  diligentlywork to put together tomorrow night’s teleprompter fodder. There are far too many who need no convincing whatsoever. The liberal apologist O-Bots, the misguided identity based groups who have been convinced that Obama has their back and the low information news consumer who wallows in state propaganda and wears his/her willful ignorance on their sleeve as though it were a badge of honor. There are those who are sick and tired  of war and want the government to fix what is wrong in America but they will be quickly and efficiently marginalized once the great dictator has spoken and his media smear machine does the rest. Congress? Please. A gaggle of contemptibly corrupt swine with closets chock a block full of skeletons and huge files aplenty in the archives of the NSA Stasi will rubberstamp Obama’s war with a resounding cadence of hundreds of jackboots stomping in unison.

The impeachment proceedings for Barry and the accompanying war crimes trials for the bitches and bastards in his administration cannot begin soon enough. The Hague will have to open another wing for these swine.

As Far as Narcissist Obama is Concerned – Let Them Eat War

Despite mounting resistance, primarily coming from the international community the narcissist in chief, Barack H. Obama continues to ram his administration’s coming criminal attacks on Syria down the throats of those who see things as they are. Appearing at the G20 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia the Nobel Peace Prize winner is the very epitome of imperial arrogance as he cast aside appeals to reason and a diplomatic solution to his idiotic self-created crisis. Obama along with his goonish Secretary of State John Kerry who has spent the better part of a week distorting and spinning the results of intelligence reports that show that the Assad regime was behind the Gouta chemical weapons incident are lying. Not only are they lying but they are bad liars whose daily contortions only serve to make them look even asinine and conversely more dangerous given their incompetence. Say what you will about the Bush administration and the neocons but at least they didn’t suck at lying, they were truly masters at the art of deception when it came to selling war to the sheeple. The clumsy efforts of Barry and the boys only ensure that the United States truly is losing credibility on the world stage and the worst is yet to come when their dirty little war of choice sets off a chain reaction that will once and for all implode the economy.  While the entire “recovery” has been nothing but state media hyped tomfoolery, the big banks and rigged markets are only sustained by the machinations of the mad money printer Ben Bernanke another ruinous foreign incursion will finally be what it takes to once and for all puncture the bubble of illusion.

This time the American war machine is about ready to run afoul of not only Russia but also China, a huge economic powerhouse holding an even more massive amount of U.S. Paper. Despite Obama and his rogue regime’s bellicose rhetoric and ample supply of ridiculous platitudes going through with this act of aggression on trumped up charges would be tantamount to national suicide. Not that these elitist criminal buffoons give a damn about the concerns of the little people but the peasants are growing restive and while you won’t see it on the corrupt state-corporate media we may finally have arrived at an outrage that is so great that it is able to catapult the chasm of the  two-party paradigm and unite disparate forces for a battle against a common enemy. The enemy is an out of control state that steals from taxpayers while bestowing largess upon the uber-wealthy interests who have the money to buy the system. It is a state that has no moral underpinning having long ago given into eternal war, stealing of foreign natural resources, torture, an obscene for profit prison gulag system that rivals Stalin’s, a herculean surveillance machinethat spies on innocent citizens and a paramilitary police state that could go into total lock down mode with a few minutes notice. The enemy is Leviathan, the state itself which has become as corrupt and oppressive as that shitty little island that our forefathers fled in order to found what was once a free country the envy of the planet.

The alliances against the behemoth may finally provide the long-awaited systemic transformation that unifies principled angry progressives who unlike the liberals did not sell their soul to the company store once Obama took power and libertarians along with paleoconservatives. The so-called tea party which sprung from the remnants of the Ron Paul movement and was quickly co-opted by the GOP is showing signs of being resuscitated in it’s initial form and not the catch-all, loosely organized collection of some of the crazier activist elements of the party base which included due too the lack of self-policing a good amount of racists. The libertarian principles from which it sprung are not being reasserted by such rebels as Republican Congressman Justin Amash, a hero to those who have finally had it with the weaponizing of the state against the people. Congressman Amash rose to prominence earlier this summer when he led the rebellionagainst Obama’s NSA Stasi as the systemic abuses of the Constitution were brought to light by Edward Snowden and Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald. He is not content to lay back in the weeds like so many of his cowardly peers and is aggressively pushing back in a testament to that rarest spirit of American dissent against government tyranny. He has set about mocking that geriatric war criminal John McCain by digging up an old tweet by the rabid old dog praising former Libyan dictator Colonel Muamar Gaddafi earlier this week and publicizing it. McCain, is corrupt and has been complicit in a good many of this country’s most egregious international and domestic crimes of the last thirty plus years. In an interesting side note, McCain’s sidekick Lindsey Graham has been shrilly invoking the destruction of Charleston Harbor by nukes to his constituents. These guys haven’t the capacity for shame, if Graham finally gets ousted in 2014 as he should then he has a hell of a second career in Hollywood.

Joining Amash in opposition is Democratic party firebrand Alan Grayson of Florida, a man who seems to revel in being a bug up the asses of the elite. Giving a voice to the skeptics who can see through Obama and Kerry as the heirs to Bush and Powell. Grayson has not only found a common cause with conservatives like Amash but is taking the fight to the administration in openly questioning the fishy official account of the Gouta gassing. This incident that has been used to justify the crossing of Obama’s “red line” provides the justification for the war, the basis for all of the Hitler and Munich invocations and is by its nature the weakest link in the case needs to be called out as bullshit. The rush to judgement weeks before the official results of the U.N. investigation are to be finalized is the Achilles heel of the Obama regime. It has been reported that Russia provided the United Nations with a report back in July detailing the U.S. backed militant rebels complicity in poison gas attacks and with the persistence of bulldogs like Grayson and Amash contesting the official story it could be possible that this report eventually finds its way into what remains of the U.S. media. This link is from McClatchy, one of the last vestiges of free reporting.

The establishment fears only one thing more than the truth and that is crossover appeal. When there is a break in the meticulously constructed dichotomy that even if briefly allowing for the revelation of the true enemy, not the phantoms and scapegoats it scares the hell out of the bastards. It was easy to marginalize and in the case of the Occupy movement send the paramilitary police goons to destroy it or in the case of the tea party to focus on only the racists, freaks and provocateurs to eliminate the threat to the establishment. When there is an alliance against the wars, the destruction of civil liberties and the preservation of the Constitution it is a true threat to fiends like Obama. This blossoming revolt against the bombing of Syria has the potential to become a true uprising against the usurpers but the propaganda machine will ensure that the largest obstacle to accountability will be the easily duped, foolish and credulous “center” that still believes the corrupt media.

And now it has been announced that Barack Hussein Obama, using the bully pulpit on the eve of the twelfth anniversary of 9/11 will take his lies directly to the American people in the push for WW III. It will be a variation on yellow cake uranium in Niger, smoking guns as mushroom clouds, aluminum tubes and all of the other horseshit sold by his predecessor to justify his war in Iraq that has left the country a humanitarian disaster and destabilized charnel house to this day. Even if attacking Syria didn’t have the serious implications of creating an irrevocable scenario with China and Russia that punches all of our tickets to Armageddon the best that could be hoped for would be a decade plus of brutal sectarian violence. Violence that Obama’s allies in Al Qaeda are already perpetrating but at the end of the day, stripped of the star-spangled facade this all comes down to money and there is plenty of it for the war machine once it’s current shill Obama and his pack of fellow reprobates order up the strikes.

Impeachment proceedings cannot be started soon enough so that this ridiculous and arrogant man can be removed from office before he kills us all.
