This is how you fight back when your government lies and is corrupt

The following email was sent to a former college colleague who has decided that she is too good to speak to me anymore, and has now broken some very big laws.

So, now I’m taking matters into my own hands.

You can see what I wrote her, as I’m about to post the email.  She is a senior White House staffer.  Her name is Cassandra Butts.  Who hasn’t done as much as I have in DC or anywhere else.  She’s just got that horrific disease, called “I went to Harvard with Obama, I’ve got ‘tude, FUCK OFF you stupid cracker.”

Unfortunately that doesn’t work, is illegal and appalling.

And shows you exactly the attitude of THIS ADMINISTRATION.  And will be circulated all over the HILL, the blogosphere and where ever I have to send it.

Because she, just like everyone else in DC with power, doesn’t give a rat’s ass about anybody else.  And the only way she got that “power” also called a title on a business card and about as meaningful, was by flushing her morals down the toilet.

When they ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS.  Emphasis on the last word.  So this is just one of the lessons that dumb ass in the Oval Office is going to start learning if he keeps lying, breaking his word, and playing “I’m going to screw everyone else, give out the best bailout money to my buddies, and fuck the entire US population in the ass, so I can become a billionaire because among other things I own a shitload of pharma stock.

I WANT THAT FUCKING MEETING CASSANDRA.  NOW.

And if there are any more delays, there’s going to be further embarrassment.  If not your firing, and Obama’s impeachment.

GET IT?  Am I using small enough words?  For a “biologicially inferior piece of garbage” that the President has made sure to show his contempt for. Not to mention you.  And as for Ms. Barnes.  That goes for her too.

And the rest of the assholes in Congress  who are getting rich off of war, get bribes on the side, to vote against the interests of the people they represent on say healthcare, while we pay for their privileged lives.

That is NOT the change I voted for, nor one I believe in.  And the last thing DC needs at this point, is another clueless egomaniac on the loose, who thinks he’s the fucking Messiah.  Trust me, he’s a legend in his own fucking mind.  BUT HE’S GOING TO FUND MY FUCKING PROJECT.

SO START MAKING THE DATE PRONTO.  HE WORKS FOR ME TOO.  HE IS THE ULTIMATE PUBLIC SERVANT. NOT THE MESSIAH.

IT’S TIME HE REMEMBERED THAT.  INSTEAD OF PLAYING KING FOR A DAY, AND GETTING PISSED OFF WHEN HE IS RIGHTLY CRITICIZED FOR SPENDING FOUR TIMES WHAT THE AVERAGE AMERICAN GETS PAID ANNUALLY, IF THEY STILL HAVE A JOB THAT IS, TO TAKE THE SPOILED MISSUS TO NEW YORK.  THANKS TO OBAMA’S POLICIES ON CONTINUED OUTSOURCING, NOT TO MENTION HIS CORRUPT ECONOMIC ADVISORS.  WHO SHOULD ALL BE FIRED.

And if you think that is embarrassing, there’s plenty more to come.  You dumb clueless bitch.  Call me “privileged” again and I’m going to make you eat your fucking words.  Go ahead, bail out the banks and ruin my life.  THEY DID THIS TO ME YOU BITCH.  IS THAT YOUR DEFINITION OF PRIVILEGED?  THEN YOU ARE REALLY SICK if not morally depraved.  Oh, and I also expect a full investigation of all of the cabinet members who have threatened me, discriminated against me and you have both refused to investigate them, which is part of your job, but the IG’s who did too.

And a hurry it up over at JUSTICE, where you clowns are facing CRIMINAL ASSAULT AND BATTERY CHARGES, conveniently documented by the NYPD.  With a witness to boot, so don’t even try to get Bloomberg, another criminal to try to cover that one up.

I don’t take it kindly when DOJ, “Don’t cry for me Pharmantina” Pelosi’s office and the DLCC keep hanging up on me.  That is also illegal.  Didn’t they teach you that crap at Harvard?   Because you sure look as dumb as fuck to me.  Not to mention criminal, lawbreaking bastards.  Oh, and don’t even mention the word “defamatory” because I have multiple agencies doing so much investigating at this point, with paper work to back it up, on the illegal crap Obama is turning his back on at the municipal, state and federal level,  that you are going to look like, as those who have real educations, and speak multiple languages, say, like merde.

Capiche?  And the only reason I have edited out your email, is that I still have a modicum of mercy.  Although technically it should be listed, per Obama’s promise to make government more accountable, and transparent, on the goddamned White House website.  But, silly me, he’s “adjusted his position” on that too.  Personally I think the asshole should be “adjusted out of office.”

Also called impeachment for lying his ass off on the way into office in the first place.

You see.  You gotta put your ass on the line, and your money where your mouth is.

Because among other things, I’m going to kill that fucking healthcare bill.  It’s illegal, it’s immoral and it shows EXACTLY how little Obama really thinks about the people who put their trust in him.

And I think that is disgusting.  Oh, and Rambo. FUCK OFF.  I’m not afraid of you either.

Gimp Godzilla,

Over and Out.

The Unnoticed Heroines, The Real Toasts of the Season

“And I to him: I wish thee still to teach me,
And make a gift to me of further speech.

Farinata and Tegghiaio, once so worthy,
Jacopo Rusticucci, Arrigo, and Mosca,
And others who on good deeds set their thoughts,

Say where they are, and cause that I may know them;
For great desire constraineth me to learn
If Heaven doth sweeten them, or Hell envenom.”
^{Dante Aligheri, The Divine Comedy, The Inferno,}

New York City’s Welfare System is a walking lawsuit.

Or hell, depending on your perspective.

Or both.  They don’t have to be mutually exclusive descriptions.

Actually there are at least three class actions pending now.  Not counting the one I’m about to file.  And just to make you mad as hell, got bailout money anyway….so down another corrupt rat hole your tax dollars go.  Brought to you by the “brilliance” of the “business acumen” and “superior management prowess” of our current Mayor who just bought himself a much despised third term in office with his billions in the bank.  Also called Oligarchy and the power of dollars over votes.

Even then Hizzonner only barely squeaked to a win, and I’m sure they were counting dead bodies somewhere because I can’t believe there were enough New Yorkers breathing, stupid enough to vote for him.

And welfare was just praised by none other than Senator Gillibrand our new Democratic Senator appointed by our Governor, and who Obama so thoughtfully, “cleared the field” for us dumb New Yorkers for in the Democratic primaries next year.  Because we can’t be counted on to vote for the Senator HE wants.

He needs to keep his cotton picking hands off of our state, thanks all the same.  Obama has other things to focus on.  Like say, uh, the economy, for starters.  Don’t you think?

Of course, Ms. Gillibrand never answered my email about the corruption in the state, and her problematic endorsement of federal bailout funding going to a totally corrupt program.  What do constituents matter when you are named the winner in a “Democratic election” by the President?  Kingmakers count more than constituents, right?  That’s what “Democracy” is all about.

Right?

But welfare is so corrupt and mismanaged that I can and am filing a class action against the agency on multiple counts myself, just on the paperwork I have now that I’ve sunk to the new lows of poverty and economic destruction that former college colleague and anti- apartheid organizing buddy,

now Deputy White House Counsel Cassandra Butts managed, somehow to call me “privileged” when I called to congratulate her on her new gig, and then she promptly managed to lose me as quickly as a mutt shakes off fleas from its’ hind leg.

Of course, she never even showed up to build the damned shanties, we used as the central icon in the most effective anti apartheid protest in the country,

Yeah, that’s me on the right front up there, got arrested,

Multiple times,

much less, like say me, put her academic scholarship on the line, or say had the Klan or the State FBI stake out HER house, because she was not co-founder of the group, and really only showed up for rallies when she felt like it (i.e. when she knew she would have her picture taken) in the most kick ass student protest of the eighties, that eventually forced the entire STATE of North Carolina to divest all pension and scholarship funds in racist South Africa under the helm of Republican and Senior U.S. Senator, currently serving as head of the powerful Senate Foreign Relation’s Committee, Jesse “No” Helms.

But boy, does it look good on her resume.  The truth is lost to history.  And of course, not letting me anywhere near the White House doesn’t hurt either.

I’m still trying to figure out if Cassandra was referring to my financial status, (destroyed) my lost EMBA from the best international Ivy on the planet that my ex employer, who fired me illegally would have picked up the tab for, and got billions (twice) from Congress for ruining our economy, or my new, visible neurological disability, which they also caused, which gets me called “retard” to my face, and essentially makes me unemployable for the rest of my life.

That apparently the President thinks is so funny that he makes jokes about retards on national TV.  Or maybe it was my skin color that elicited Cassandra’s response.

I don’t know.

All I know is that I’ve gotten to remember what it’s like to “live poor” again.  While Cassandra makes six figures, brags about her limited edition sports cars, and Melody Barnes, another UNC grad of my tenure, also doesn’t bother to return my calls.

I guess I’m “too privileged” for her to remember too.  She’s making DC’s best dressed list these days.  And unlike Cassandra, never bothered to even show up for rallies at UNC divestment campaigns.  Sorority parties and shopping, were far more important.

I’ll probably spend the rest of my life in abject poverty.  I’m 42 years old.  And my life has just been thrown away.

I was making six figures before I was fired.  With an EMBA from Columbia, in cleantech, with the specialties I have, six to seven figures is not an unreasonable salary range and expectation.  Even as a girl.   I would have had that this spring.

But now?

I’m unemployable.  With no rights.  And get called “retard” to my face.  And face that reality for the rest of my life.

They don’t give opportunity, much less equal opportunity, equal pay, equal rights, or even affirmative action to gimps.  We’re walking pieces of garbage.  Except when we’re the convenient photo op and special presidential appointment. The rest of us twenty percent of America, can rot in hell.  With a 90% unemployment rate, most live in poverty, with substandard everything.  That the president doesn’t give a rat’s ass about, and hasn’t done shit about.  It’s not only America’s Apartheid.  It’s Obama’s greatest sin.

It’s not a fun experience, especially with now two of the rarest and one of the most painful neurological disabilities on the planet that the shit called Medicaid doesn’t even cover.  And the best medication for, marijuana, is still illegal.  Much less most of the doctors who take the insurance don’t even know how to spell just one, let alone both of the disabilities I have, much less treat the co morbidities.

Arach what?  You have giant spiders in your head?  Dystomia?  What’s that?  Can you spell it?

Welcome to my world.  It’s almost funny if it weren’t a scene from Dante.

But I have in this hell of an existence I’ve sunk to, as the Federal EEOC takes its time in investigating my case against a mega monster of a bank, (who’s gotten bailed out twice, now in the billions of dollars from the government, while I’ve gotten nothing but ‘tude, discrimination and crap) at this point from the same, while waiting over two years and counting, and almost three now without a paying gig, gotten to know New York welfare pretty well.  While every federal, state and city agency also violates my civil, due process and Constitutional rights.  And Obama’s goon squad beat the shit out of me.  Literally.  That the Federal Justice Department refuses to investigate.  And I can’t get proper medical attention for.

Yet despite the initial hell that it was to negotiate, and my life is right now, you always find someone in the system that is your lucky star.   That’s how even Hell operates.

Your North Star.  It’s how you find sanity in a world that goes topsy turvy.

I learned that the first time my world went upside down.  When I lost my father and we were homeless the first time.

I was 11.

I had just tested into the Best Grammar School as they call them in England, or magnet schools as they call them in the US that sends more students to University than Eton, which is where the English Royalty send their prodigy, for big bucks.  Except that Grammar schools are totally free, and based on meritocracy.  My social worker then was a little old lady, with a neat gray bun in the back of her head, and made sure that we were put in a “good” halfway house, a clean, one room refuge, with three army issue bunk beds, grey covers, army issue, of course, a half stove with two burners, a half kitchenette, and a “French door” as she laughed with us, that led out to a postage size gardenette.

So we could grow some veggies.  Across the street was where the milkman filled up their three wheeled, or in some cases, four wheeled electric trucks at the local dairy, so that’s where we got our milk, butter and bread.  Cleantech in the seventies in the UK anyone?

On food stamps of course.  And I got free lunch at school.

That’s how we lived.  I was going to school with millionaires kids, and we were so poor that we lived in literal poverty.  Poorer than even Michelle Obama.  With two parents with disabilities.  One I had just lost……

and one I was about to lose.  To another disability.  Who may have been famous, but came close to destroying me.  To an untreated disability, and alcoholism.   Not too much holiday cheer, I fear, but something America needs to face.  About a legal drug that is far more dangerous, and one we outlaw that would help thousands instead, called pot.  That will have a very deleterious effect not only on my health, but my pocketbook.  And yourself as well.  Not to mention our foreign policy.

But Ms. Nowell, my social worker, didn’t care about the fame of my family.  Or the obvious alcoholism of my mother, even then.  Cheers anyone?

But while my mom was out to lunch, my social worker worked for me.  She worked the system.  That half way house was also less than half a mile’s walk from my Grammar School.  She was determined that no matter what happened, I was going to go to Henrietta Barnett.  Even if my family had just fallen apart.  She knew absolutely, and in fact sat me down one afternoon, after a particularly brutal session with the court, there is no easy way out for kids when your family falls apart, that I would be going to the best Grammar School in England.  I had tested into it, and earned it she said to me, and if she had anything to do with it, I deserved to go there.  Over her dead body, was what she said was I not going to go.  It was in the spirit of the schools’ founder.  It was the least she could do.

I had never seen such determination in a woman before, especially one I didn’t even know.  A tiny, little old lady, with a neat grey bun in her hair.  And that was her promise to me.  And that was something I could count on.

My North Star, as she put it.  A promise she kept.

A promise that changed my life.

I went back to England many years later, to find her, and thank her.  My letter telling her I was en route to England reached her three weeks after she died.  I was taking a year off from college.

I got a letter back from a very kind man in British social services who wrote back telling me of her death.  That she never saw the letter, but he knew that she would have appreciated it.   That she was a special lady who helped many children find their way out of the dark abyss of family tragedies.

What I face today, is sort of like that.  And New York Welfare is far more brutal than British social services will ever be.   Brutal is the only way to describe New York’s system.  Or what America’s social net has become.  Thanks Mr. Mayor, you sadist.   And Obama for perpetuating it.  And Clinton and Bush, and every American politician for allowing this to happen.

And I’m dealing with a system that is so discriminatory it is hard to describe.  On every level.  Municipal, state and federal.

But I went in today, to the North Star I’ve found in New York’s fetid and corrupt Welfare system.  Bloomberg you are an evil man.  You deserve to rot in whatever hell you believe in.  And so do you, Obama, for selling us all out, for forgetting the dreams of those who put you in office.  I imagine you both in a place like this for your sins.  Think about this picture below….

….before either one of you attends or toasts anymore extravaganzas that are, as we all know, pretty damned corrupt.  Like this one, for example.

But in the midst of hell, there are angels.  And I’ve found mine.

Her name is Miss M.  I can’t give her full name.

In that amazing ability black women have, or African American, whatever they prefer to be called (some like to be called Black, some like to be called African American, it’s a personal preference), but there is this incredible beauty to them.

I was raised to believe that black skin was more beautiful than white.

My mother’s Caldecott Award Winning Children’s Book, A Story A Story,

is dedicated to me and all my black brothers and sisters too.

And published just a year after the Supreme Court mandated school desegregation, and even BANNED in some parts of the South, because it was the first commercially published children’s book ever published in this country (1970) to feature a black God.

And thus of course highly controversial fare for those who believed that black people are, like the President’s chief economics’ advisor, Mr. Summers, and apparently Mr. Obama himself, just in hiring the bastard, currently believes about women, of all colors, to be “biologically inferior.”

I was raised with the DNA to believe that black is beautiful.  In fact I remember saying when Obama announced his presidency, “if that man with that name wins, America is finally willing to start saying ‘I’m sorry’ about a lot of things.”

Boy was I wrong.

But as I look at Ms. M. today, I also know that I was right too.

Because at least there is one person, pathetic as I am now, and probably to most of you reading this, that to me, Miss M. is beautiful.

Her skin shines with that beauty of just reserved kindness.  This Ebony, black to the bone beauty.  Combined with reserved strength born of suffering, but I will make it through the worst anyway, born of toughness that is necessary to survive a still racist and increasingly classist America, where fairness is nonexistent, meritocracy is absent, and the only way you make it is by extreme luck combined with extreme corruption.

But in Ms. M. you don’t see that.  You see the true recipe for greatness.  What I have always sought for in a leader I respect.  An incredibly nurturing instinct that is so beautiful and gentle when it is there for you.  Male or female, it doesn’t matter.  It’s there when you need it.

That is the REAL definition of the security state.  It takes care of its citizens.  It doesn’t destroy them.  And they don’t destroy or abuse it.  They nurture it, and it in turn nurtures them back.  Because everyone knows that we all fall down sometimes.  And your life should not be destroyed by that.  That is the definition of community.  Of the state.

And because of what this country, in particular has done to Black people in general, when you find that trait in a black woman, black women shine.  It’s impossible to describe it.

And Miss M. did today, what she has done for me consistently this year.  She alone, amidst the bureaucracy and red tape, sorted out in two seconds flat what could have been yet another major headache, as I was headed out, again, and for too many times this year, to the post office, with a three inch pile of complaints to various federal agencies, about both federal and state agencies’ appalling discriminatory behavior and my appeals thereof.

So thank you Ms. M.  For being my North Star Today.  I toast you with all the holiday cheer I can muster, however figuratively.

Again.  Cheers to you.  I’d buy you a drink if I could afford it.

You are nameless and probably will never be properly thanked.  Your picture will never be taken by Time Magazine.  Much less Vogue.  Or say Glamor.  Even though you deserve to be.

You probably will never make it to the Oval Office for a signing of a bill, much less have you ever expected to go there for commendation for doing a thankless, underpaid job, you deserve national recognition for doing.

You have never been paid what you are really worth. Or offered the opportunity to follow your dreams.  That is why you are so kind to those who are watching theirs get smashed on the rocks in front of you.  And know it, and can’t do anything about it, except process this damned girl’s pitiful “benefits.”  And tell her it will all get better.  When you know damned well, that it probably won’t.  You’ve seen too many downward spirals like this before.

I know those things because I see them in your eyes.

That is what my experience teaches me about you.

And I may never get this stupid business off the ground because Obama has better things to do with his time.  Like play golf. Or meet with Tiger Woods.  Or the UNC basketball team. Or declare War on Iran.  Or take his Nobel, wrapped with fries to go, pissing off most of Europe and waking them up to exactly what kind of man he is.

But Ms. M. is the real reason I voted for Obama, if you really want to know.

She is the reason I am so angry at him now.

She could be anywhere from 45-60, in that amazing ability that black women alone have, of aging with that beautiful, timeless grace that white women just don’t possess.  In that same ability to project ageless beauty of say Marilyn Monroe had when she wasn’t caught in one of her sluttier poses.   Or more sexy ones, which Eve Arnold also took.  But still aren’t my favorite, but of course more famous…like this one….

But these are some of my favorite “unknown” photos of Monroe.

One of the great secrets of Marilyn’s photogenic timelessness, a secret passed down to me from my father’s first wife, Eve Arnold, the woman who discovered her,

was that Marilyn had this soft fur all over her skin, that captured the light, and Eve knew how to manipulate that, so that Marilyn literally glowed in every photo Eve took of her.  A trick male photographers never learned, and why Eve became Marilyn’s favorite and most trusted photographer.

But Eve learned that trick from originally photographing black women.  She got her first professional gig, if you look at this link, as Magnum’s first female photographer, by photographing black fashion shows in Harlem.

And sent those pictures to an old school “chum” of my dad’s in England.  It blew them away.  They’d never seen anything like it before.  That’s how Eve eventually won her OBE.  And all of the other honors that followed.

You see, Black women have that glow naturally.

Michelle Obama has it in spades.

She is a very beautiful woman if you really study her features.

She glows.

That is why it is so hard for me to criticize her.  And it is.

When I first heard her speak on the campaign trail last year, she just blew me away.

She is the embodiment of beauty if you only look at her and not what she does.  Or only listen to her speeches and not look behind them.

But it is precisely when you look under the cover, behind the cover shot, that is where she falls down.  Just like her husband.

I have long ago learned not to judge a book by its cover.  Or a magazine for that matter.  And I am not fooled that behind the veneer, and under the covers, is a woman who sold out, in a way that is rotten to the core.

Perhaps it sounds odd to hear a woman praise another woman’s beauty, especially a straight woman.  But not for an artist’s child.  Who grew up looking at people of all kinds as beautiful.   As individuals.  And of course, black skin was always considered beautiful in my family.  But especially so to one who knows that wearing it, also incurs the stain of  a lifetime of lost opportunity for most, or opportunity never had; dealing with insults and slurs, and disappointments so great, that I look at Ms. M.’s face, at this woman, who works in the welfare department.  At the Parks section of the welfare system in New York, (which is the lowest, slummiest, crappiest jobs section of the entire system, and therefore largest section of welfare, so Ms. M. is the big boss, but also the person there I have met with the kindest heart and the one who knows how the system works best.)

And she was my North Star today.  As she has been since I have met her.

And if I had to choose between a black heroine, with more grace and compassion and someone I look up to, than say Mrs. Obama, with her Ivies and her designer duds, and her cover glamour shots and her arrogance and Ms. M., there is no contest.

Ms. M. wins hands down.  Cheers.  And another round.  On the house, lady.

I told her today that if I can get my project off the ground, I’m hiring her.  At three times what she makes.  At least.  You see Ms. M. treats everyone with dignity and compassion.  Even though she probably makes barely minimum wage.

And I, in this madhouse called life, am equally distant from Mrs. Obama, literally one phone call, and Ms. M.

Ms. M. laughed and thought I was crazy when I told her what I did today. And maybe I am. But I believe in what I’m doing.  Call it the audacity of hope.  That is what I have always fought for.  That’s where the message of the campaign connected you see.  It’s the execution that’s lacking.

And that is unforgiveable.

You see Bloomberg pays city workers like Ms. M. nothing.  And has undercut their pensions too.  Unlike Wall Street Millionaires, City Worker’s salaries are certainly negotiable to the powers that be.  Because to the political elite, people like Ms. M. don’t count.  Not to mention their pensions.  So Ms. M. faces a good chance of “retiring” in poverty.  Thanks to Mr. Obama’s current policies.

When people say I am “angry” it is because I think about people like Ms. M.

I have never forgotten they exist.  And I’ve always known they counted.

These are the people who Obama and the Missus are throwing away.  Somehow he never learned they existed.  And Michelle, wants to forget that they do.

How come?

That was his supposed MO.  And her attraction to him.  So if that’s false, what’s true about the two of them?

Were they just a convenient photo op?  A campaign backdrop?

Another marriage arranged for political and career convenience?

If that’s so outrageous, then why did Cassandra Butts even mention it last year as an issue in a televised interview on national TV?  Or mentioned say in this article that came out rather later.

I mean, I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t afford a wedding dress like that.  Much less the wedding it looks like those two paid for.  On the crappy non-profit salary I was making.

That is the cruelest irony of all.

Both Obamas’ not to mention their staff, seem to tell a great story, but it’s all on the surface.  Or if Obama or the Missus forgot what they were about, which it is obvious that they have, then they were never truly stories and identities burned into their souls, but ones they would rather forget.  And Michelle’s convenient story of a past she wants to ignore, not embrace.  Except you never forget that.  And if you learn your lessons about it, you never perpetuate such conditions on other people.  And that is just as bad.

Because in specifically Obama’s case, it means he’s a fake.   The Buppy Oreo on the make, who wants to see himself on the cover of “Men’s Fitness,” as he sends more young men and women to get blown to smithereens, without even providing proper healthcare for them.  While selling America down the drain.  And in the Missus’ case, it appears she suffers what many people in twelve step recovery programs suffer from – that “Denial is not a River in Egypt.”  In other words you don’t ever forget where you came from.

But it is people like Ms. M., in her modest dignity, who have always won my heart with her quiet nobility, who have helped me find my North Star in my darkest hour, who get my respect, more than any Ivy Leagued Buppy.

People like her, I never forget.  Who get my cheers, and any drink bought, at any bar, for any occasion.

Total strangers in the wilderness who showed compassion to me.  To whom I probably seem totally spoiled and yes “privileged” to quote Cassandra.

But you see, unlike Cassandra, who can forget me, I can never forget Ms. M.  And Ms. M. never forgets me.  She always remembers me every time I come in.

And I will take her with me, in some way, wherever I go.

That’s why I’m honoring her by writing about her.

She deserves at least that.  And I toast, as much as I don’t drink.

Literally and or figuratively, as much as I am able, as I will always take a piece of her with me.  Just like I will always take my first social worker, Ms. Nowell, in a place in my heart with me too.  She has become, just like Ms. M.

And that, in a world, spinning with its insanity, of law suits and nutcases, and people who are corrupt when they have no right to be, and overwhelming issues, is my North Star to sanity.  In a world of hell.

Thank you Ms. M.  You get my vote for America’s REAL First Lady.  And have been a North Star to me this year, when I really needed one.  And probably for another year or so to go, as the EEOC, plods through my case for the third year in a row.  I don’t even know if I’ll have a lawyer for Christ’s sakes.  The state is so screwed up that they’ve interfered in my federal case.

But Ms. M. doesn’t know that.  Day in and day out, she goes into a crappy city office, for no pay, and works with people who society has thrown away.  And does it with a compassion that I rarely see.  And gives dignity to the most downtrodden.

Obama?  He only meets with rich people and movie stars.  What an asshole.

But people like Ms. M. are the people in America who are important to me.

These are the people who I “rant” for.  Not to mention fight for.  Because nobody fights for them.  And they, fundamentally, have always been the ones who have made the greatest difference, when the hour is darkest, for the most of us.

And these are the people who I am fighting for, as I take my three inch packets of investigative crap, about the latest infraction of “caught you in the act” and mail it wherever it needs to go.

Because eventually there will be a showdown between El Numero Uno and Myself.  One way or the other.

And the Elephant in the Living Room is going to be Ms. M.  She is the face of my North Star in this fight.

For she is the person that Obama forgot, as soon as he decided to become King.

Or maybe she was always a ghost for him that substituted as a conscience.  She’s always been a real person for me.  Scattered here and there throughout my lifetime.  It’s the Ms. M.s of this world who taught me how to find my North Star in a world filled with hatred, and bigotry, those who forget what their promises are.

And that is not the change I believe in, or was voting for.

Ms. M. you get my vote for America’s REAL First Lady.  And are the embodiment of class in the act.  Not to mention get my toast any day of the week, raised in honor of you, this holiday season, for among other things, NOT letting my life descend another level into literal hell.  That you, if not the bloggers reading this, really do understand.  And took the time and compassion to save me from.

“And I: Through midst of Tuscany there wanders
A streamlet that is born in Falterona,
And not a hundred miles of course suffice it;

From thereupon do I this body bring.
To tell you who I am were speech in vain,
Because my name as yet makes no great noise.”

All The President’s Perps – The “Plumbers” at the White House Gates Pt I

Editors Note:  This is a follow on to two previous blogs and a developing story.

For those of you new to this, please read the first two installments at:

Part I

Part II

The reason I am sending you to another wormhole in cyberspace for these two articles, when the first of the two appears on this site, is for you to see something else.

DISCRIMINATION.  Particularly against women and those with disabilities and how unfounded such attitudes are, how our continued mistreatment, even by Obama, unfortunately, leads to this kind of thing, and why I am determined to make sure that I both get a meeting with him and that this kind of thing stops.

There is nothing like seeing for yourself to believe.  And the kind of comments I got, particularly on the first Part above are almost unbelievable.  Then again, this whole situation is.  And again something I blame on Obama, for reasons you will understand when you read the next parts of the developing story….something that nobody else has caught.  This is a serious and breaking news story about Presidential lawbreaking that it appears Congress is trying to cover up and none of the media outlets have caught.

Not bad for a, in the words of Mr. Summers’ Mr. Obama’s chief economic advisor, “biologically inferior” GIMP.   And in addition to that proposal that has sat in the White House for way too long, more than enough reason for a meeting in the Oval Office Pronto.  Otherwise, there will be more to follow.  Because Mr. Obama is pretty sexist himself.  And shows no respect for white women in their thirties and forties, to the extent that his goons have already beaten me up, his administration refuses to investigate, his White House refuses to return my calls on a very good jobs and clean energy proposal and THERE ARE NO WHITE WOMEN AT ALL IN THEIR THIRTIES OR FORTIES AT ANY POWERFUL POSITION IN THIS ADMINISTRATION, EITHER IN THE WHITE HOUSE OR HEADING UP A CABINET POSITION.

AND THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.  IT IS CALLED DIVERSITY.  THEN AGAIN, AS YOU READ THIS STORY, YOU WILL SEE THAT MR. OBAMA’S BEHAVIOR IS A LITTLE LESS THAN PRESIDENTIAL.  IF NOT IMMATURE.  AND ILLEGAL.  THIS IS JUST ONE STORY.  THERE ARE MANY MORE.

This is the first of a series of this part of the action.

This is a follow up to the last blog I wrote on the topic of the supposed “break in” or um “lapse of security” or “failure of the secret service” or whatever bullshit du jour the “authorities” and “official sources” and unfortunately the mainstream media are too ever since that stupid distraction and soap opera occurred, are calling this charade not to mention the issue of “terrorist threats,” “threats to the president” and basically the entire pile of manure that surrounds this whole event that is, to use a phrase that I’m stealing from myself, but is absolutely appropriate here, so high, wide and deep that you can forget looking for the pony, ‘cause it died long ago.

Just from the stench of corruption surrounding this odiferous crap.

Not to mention the actual events of the night itself and why they were arranged.  Not to mention the ensuing “scandal” which was too.  And why.

The reason I’m writing this is because I have even more proof that what I wrote is true.

I now have additional proof that what I posted is true.  And now I’m going to tell you what that is, for several reasons, because I am really sick and tired of what is going on, and I am going to stop it.

I am also doing what I am doing to teach people, both in government and the average American a few lessons.  Including you Big Brother over there at Spook Central (NSC/CIA/FBI and whatever other unimaginative, unpronounceable acronyms you bozos make up for the security state that nobody can even remember, much less understand) and Orwell Tree House (The Department of Homeland Security) who can go kiss my ass.

And you know what; you guys over at the White House can do that too.  Not to mention ANYBODY IN GOVERNMENT, official or otherwise, who fucks with me over this.  Or anything else for that matter.  Except to start checking the President’s calendar for a meeting date.

Because I know Big Brother, among others, you are reading this too.  And if you care to show up at my door again, or any other government thugs, official or unofficial, all you are going to get, if I bother to answer my door at all, that is, is my middle finger in your face, if not my garbage pail contents thrown out my window on your heads and a string of invectives that is going to make that little twit Rambo look like a learning disabled three year old when it comes to using profanity (and I have far more respect for learning disabled three year olds than the other asshole bully for several reasons including their IQ, and morals) and trust me, I can out cuss that immoral fuck and bully in the White House, who does not intimidate me in the slightest, and when it comes to imaginative but very insulting, highly sophisticated, completely appropriate, extremely embarrassing and colorful profanity, huh, he’s in Kindergarten compared to me.  Among many other things.  And language I have every right to use.  Per some crazy thing called the law.  Not to mention, if he uses it, I can use it too.  See Title XII.

And if that confrontation happens, I will BE TAPING IT.  ON DIGITAL VIDEO SO IT WILL GO INSTANTLY VIRAL.  ASAP.

That if you would like to object to, on any stupid but you think clever or what is that word you dickheads like to use – “Unprecedented” – charge, is going to land you in a fucking Title XII, disabilities (both Rehab Act and/or ADA and 1991 Civil Rights Act) Hate Crimes and every other law I can throw at you, not to mention Constitutional law suit so fucking fast your heads are going to spin like a top.  And don’t even mention “NATIONAL SECURITY SECRET VIOLATION” YOU TURDS.

Because you don’t have a leg to stand on.

Even a prosthetic one.

Much less a wheelchair….and yes, I am making references to those with disabilities for a reason and not in a nasty or disrespectful way TO THEM, but to the fucks who are doing nothing about the issue (I.E. OUR NATIONAL LEADERS STARTING WITH OBAMA AND THE MISSUS, NOT TO MENTION CONGRESS) which you readers will understand in a sec, if you keep reading.

Capiche?

For those who don’t understand or think I’m being paranoid, even after you have completely read this blog and all of the attached blog posts (there are two other very important links you have to read to understand this especially if you have not been following the soap opera), I guarantee you, you will not think that way when I am done.

You see I had set a few, uh, “rat traps” to be consistent with my original analogies in that original story that I knew the ding dongs who I would be sending this too would probably set off and never even think to look for, much less, uh, “defuse the bomb”.  For reasons they would never catch or think I was too stupid to set.   And therefore trip.

Yes, I call myself Gimp Godzilla as a joke, but maybe Gimp Velociraptor would be more appropriate in this case.  Although I don’t plan on going extinct any time soon.  But trust me, just like in “Jurassic Park,” when I’m on the hunt for my prey, you will never see me coming.  And the uh, “attack” figuratively speaking will come from the direction least expected.

I may be a pacifist by choice.  But I do know how to be a predator.  That is the difference between being a moral human being with a sense of justice and committed to perpetuating it FOR EVERYONE and acting like a selfish solipsistic asshole.

See Exhibit A in the Oval Office for a perfect example of the latter.

But I knew that this was going to work because of the rampant discrimination against women and PWDs in our society, not to mention the disdain in general the political elite have for the hoi polloi.  And because they don’t want this leaking.  Blogs can be stripped from websites and blocked from channels in cyberspace too.  Just as well as pictures or stories can be blocked from websites.  Just like, for example, the British version of the BBC website was not available outside the country via the internet during key primaries in the U.S. last year.  How do I know that?  I checked.  For a reason.  I had some suspicions and still do about what the fuck is going on under the cover of FISA.  And trust me, when I write the blog that I’m going to about what I know about that, you will jump under the fucking bedclothes.

But why do you think that the BBC would block its own internal reporting from Americans trying to find out what the British were reporting internally during our own election, do you think?  And yes, the sites are different.  Go look them up.

But that kind of censorship has been going on for years.  Even before 9/11, Reuters, for example, would only send certain video feeds and news feeds  to certain countries and block feeds deliberately from going to others.  How do I know that?

Because I fucking worked for them.  Did I ever sign a nondisclosure?  No.  Did I ever tell them that I worked for the ACLU?  No.  Of course not.  They never asked.  And even if I had, they were too stupid or had no morals of their own to know, because of course I never said anything, that this kind of censorship is WRONG.

So people WAKE THE FUCK UP.  YOU ARE BEING LIED TO.  AND FUCKED WITHOUT THE LUBE.

And yes I’m using very graphic language, but I need to get this through your heads.  And, according to the latest studies in psychology and psychiatry, profanity gets people’s attention VERY FUCKING FAST.  So I’m not trying to offend you.  I am trying to educate you, save you, and WAKE YOU UP.

But back to our traps.  Of course they weren’t suspecting them.  So they tripped them.  Thus exposing their two inch, if that long, dicks in public.  And yes, that was meant to be a sexist insult, but a funny one, and certainly one they deserve.  You know, there are always substitutes that work just as well.  And if I can use them on you boys, as I do very handily and am often begged to, you can use them on me.

Ooops did I just say that?

Yes I did.

I hope you are laughing.  That was a comic moment.  You need them in these kinds of things.  Because this is a very scary story.  But now back to it.

Our government and our country, treat women like shit.  I mean look at who is in our government and how they treat just women, let alone gimps.  Unless you are a gazillionaire and even then, Mrs. Clinton (who I am no fan of but for the first time in my life felt sorry for when this happened during the campaign last year) for example had to endure having her daughter basically called a prostitute on mainstream, national TV.

Despite the crap the anchor, not to mention the network tried to use to justify its or even that asshole reporter’s actions, I would have had the head of the network’s balls on a platter.

And served for lunch the next day, au jus.

And FIRED that reporter.

I mean who the hell does he think he is?  Whether it is Chelsea Clinton or some unknown woman from the projects, you DO NOT say those things about women on MAINSTREAM TV.

Or ANYWHERE for that matter.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE MALE ASSHOLES RUNNING THE NETWORKS?  NOT TO MENTION THE MALE ASSHOLE REPORTERS?  THE ONLY ONES HIRED TO POLITICAL COVERAGE BEATS.

And if you don’t believe me, name one female political reporter in her thirties or forties, who does.

You can’t.  Because there aren’t any.  We are, to quote Larry Summers, biologically inferior of doing so, apparently.

What century are we in again?

You know that I’m joking and I’m not Hannibal Lector, but I would have been far firmer than Hillary Clinton was, is the point of the above.  Women are far too used to taking too much shit.  And then take their frustration out on each other.

I am someone who HAS NEVER TAKEN IT.  FROM ANYONE.  A blog story for another day.   But I suggest that American women start to learn that same fucking attitude.

Those bastards at the network are just lucky Mrs. Clinton isn’t me.

But Obama is no better, despite signing a piece of paper.  BFD.

According to Mr. Summers, Mr. Obama’s head economic advisor, women are “biologically inferior” and not capable of apparently anything except breathing and breeding.  Despite this, Mr. Obama decided that Mr. Summers, naturally, was the best candidate for the job, despite his incestuous relationships with Wall Street, not to mention his previous um “fulltime” employer, if you can call showing up for work one day a week a full time job (although at a salary that was quite impressive I have to say of $1.5 Million for that day of work) plus HUGE consulting fees on the side from other corrupt Wall Street perps, all of whom of course got bailed out with your money.

DE Shaw, Mr. Summer’s immediate ex-employer, and founded by a guy also from Mr. Obama’s undergraduate alma mater (gee, it gets more incestuous all the time, doesn’t it) that underpaying slave driver, don’t you think, FYI is the Quantiest of all quant firms in the known planet as well as a very successful hedge fund.  And also very involved in things like cancer research (i.e. healthcare), housing, and cleantech.  To the point that they invested in a HUGE offshore cleantech facility right off of what state, rather conveniently, right as Mr. Summer’s got his new job offer?

DELAWARE.

Which is significant why?

Because it is Mr. Biden’s home state.  The VEEP.

Setting themselves up not only for another incestuous spot on a Presidential advisory board but for first dibs on a lot of YOUR money in very lucrative fields where the government is giving money away to its favorite people right now.  In boatloads.  Healthcare, cleantech, etc and ad nauseum.

And oh, yes, DE Shaw is also buying lots of repossessed homes on the cheap too, as soon as the homeowners the government couldn’t give a fuck about are barely beginning to stack the few belongings left them in boxes next to their bunk beds in small piles at their nearest homeless shelter.  AND DON’T HIRE GIMPS.

Which as mentioned before in New York, thanks to such “brilliant” policies as Mr. Bloomberg’s, along with Mr. Donovan (who Mr. Obama picked for his new head of HUD so we can see some more of that “innovation in housing” nationally, are about as “brilliant” as those of Mr. Obama’s.  And as I have mentioned before, it costs twice as much to be homeless in New York City, as to occupy a studio apartment in the cheapest part of the city, thanks to such “brilliance.”  And, um “innovation.”

Does anyone else see any ethical or other say economic or logic problems here or am I the ONLY ONE?

Which also might explain some of the problems we’ve been having with Mr. Obama’s reluctance to do anything about reigning in Wall Street, implementing decent healthcare legislation, appointing a man to head Treasury who should be behind bars rather than behind the fucking desk at the head of Treasury (that would be little Timmy Turbo Tax) and does a lot of explaining about what is going so wrong right now with our economy and the absolutely inane if not stupid and immoral economic decisions this administration is making.  If not all of them.  About almost everything.  And no, signing documents doesn’t matter.  Neither does making token appointments.

Per that old fashioned Wendy’s ad “Where’s the FUCKING BEEF?”

Nonetheless Mr. Summers, who by the way also mentored Mr. Geithner, and along with Mr. Greenspan, destroyed the woman’s career who warned Mr. Greenspan in 1998/1999 about the danger of unregulated derivatives (for which they both wrecked her career right before they destroyed Glass Steagall, two of the most important reasons and causes for our economy going “boom’ last year with just as much force and destruction but which will cause far greater suffering for many more people GLOBALLY and last much longer than the damage of 9/11 ever did.

And this warning by the way, FROM A WOMAN, Brooksley Born (also the FIRST FEMALE LAW SCHOOL REVIEW EDITOR EVER AND FROM A PRESTIGIOUS LAW SCHOOL AT THAT…AND IN THE SIXTIES MR. OBAMA, you sexist asshole)…who of course, naturally don’t understand economics because we are so stupid and biologically inferior, per Summers, was BEFORE ENRON’s IMPLOSION, which was about exactly the same shit.

Oh, and one more thing.  Mr. Summers was also fired from Harvard for those disgustingly sexist and Neanderthal comments about women too.

Nevertheless, Mr. Obama of course, being so much more brilliant than anyone else on the planet, according to him, naturally therefore, decided, that Mr. Summers would of course, be the best option to have as HIS numero uno economic advisor.

I personally see a great deal of “brilliance” in that decision, but not the kind I would ever share in public.  It’s the kind that I routinely extrude in my toilet and flush down the commode when solid waste removal out of a certain orifice for biological functioning of my internal organs is necessary.  Specifically the intestines and the bowel region of my anatomy.

If that is what we call “brilliance” in our elected leaders, I think Americans need to look up in a dictionary if necessary, if they do not understand the meaning of this next term: “shit for brains masquerading as genius instead.”

Nevertheless, back to the point.  The current administration is so sexist, elitist, discriminatory and impressed with its own importance and significance, not to mention that everyone in it thinks that they are smarter than everyone else in America, that it thinks it could never be set up in its own rat trap.

Which is exactly what I set out for them along with catching them in the act, in that little story about the “White House Break in” Bullshit.

It’s not that the story is not true…it’s just that I added certain extra things to set those traps off.

Except the traps I set were things that were extremely sophisticated, not verbal, not necessarily visible at all, and there are more of them that I’m not going to mention, but I will tell you about the ones that have so far gone off as in “SNAP, SNAP, SNAP” to further lend cred to this story, to teach a few lessons, and to start to make America WAKE THE FUCK UP.

The first is that the fact that a story carrying a picture of the CEO of PepsiCo India would be automatically sponsored on the premiere feeder law site domestically, LAW.COM is interesting in and of itself because the story is very critical of the President and the Indian government does not want to damage a business or political relationship with America right now.  Or vice versa.  Despite the fact that they want nothing to do with our military activities next door.

It’s not the first time that one of my stories has been carried on Law.com.  But the fact that it was sponsored by Pepsi was the issue.  Law.com would never have carried that story otherwise.  I did that deliberately.  By using so much profanity that there is no way they would.  Nor would Pepsi have sponsored it, certainly not Pepsi India, not only because of the colorful language I used, but also because they certainly would have gotten the cultural references I used also.

Which they, unlike Americans reading the story or apparently my blog posts, DO NOT UNDERSTAND.  They are sophisticated multinational cultural references that require an education.  That only very educated people will be able to interprete i.e. heads of state, senior members of the UN and people that I grew up with.  And was educated to think that way from a very young age.  Despite the ‘tude coming out of the White House and the way I was always treated in DC and for that matter New York about not having a fucking Ivy on my resume.

The reference I made to Mrs. Obama giving a children’s book, “The Jungle Book,” about a little Indian boy, who lived in the jungle among talking animals, would not (I certainly hope) be lost on either the Senior White House clowns (although you never do know given what they gave to Mr. Brown), certainly not Ms. Jarrett who hails from Imperial Iran under the American propped up Shah, (a horrifically brutal government also backed up by the CIA for American business interests) or the Indian Government.   The latter of whom would certainly understand that I was saying that America treats India like a child named Mowgli, the central character in Kipling’s book, as an unequal.  A primitive living in the jungle.  Low caste.  Not a Raj (an Indian King – the highest caste that one can get and closest to God in the Hindi religion).

Now do you understand?

And for Mrs. Obama to give him that book would be to say “Fuck You.  You bow to us.  You are part of the American Empire, we dictate how you are going to rule your country.”

That is what IMPERIALISM IS.

And personally disgusting coming from a woman who not only is the descendant of slaves but doesn’t even know that Sesame Street, for example causes epilepsy in children because of the editing techniques it uses.  And was used by the Nixon administration to dumb down public education.  Not to mention that the fact that yes, my proposal, sitting at the White House ignored, because for whatever reason the elitists at the White House think they are better than I am, when they aren’t,  is better than hers, including the fact that I had already done my homework eight months earlier, to the point of having soil scientists in place to soil test the plot of land I wanted to use for my organic gardening work.  Sorry honey, but just having an Ivy League or even being first lady, doesn’t give you the right to get credit for nothing.  And even worse than that Axelrod HAS a daughter with epilepsy.  And Mrs. Obama hasn’t hired or even invited a single person or a child to the White House with a disability.  Her father had one.  Why the hell is she sitting on the sidelines if ignoring the issue completely.

The reality is that the way people with disabilities are treated in America today is like the American Apartheid.  And frankly, just like India today.

In India, they pay slave labor wages to people who would be getting $60-70 an hour here.  And did.  Until they shipped jobs like computer programming to India.  Where the computer programmers there, with English speaking skills, get about $5 an hour for exactly the same work.  A practice Mr. Obama apparently seems to want to emulate, perpetuate if not speed up.  So I gave them a taste of their own fucking medicine.  To prove not only that the story was true about the fuckup and coverup, but to counter the sexism of this administration and Obama’s appalling continuation of OUR appalling foreign policy which ultimately hurts US.

So unless Law.com suddenly got smart about tagging, which I doubt, and knows about Indian telco law, which I doubt even further, someone told them to set that trigger on their site to pick up any picture from that night that included the picture of the perps with the CEO of PepsiCo India.  Who there was no doubt would be attending.   And was set on autopilot.  But someone set it and dollars to doughnuts came from the White House.  Again, remember the whole silly Pepsi vs. Coke thing?  Again, nothing happens for an accident.  The White House is setting up business relationships all over the place.  It’s providing product placement for Google for Christ’s sakes on it’s own website.

But it’s not a new thing for America to push it’s products onto the rest of the world, even at the point of a gun.  What is “unprecedented” to quote them themselves is that this is so aggressive, and that they are actively speeding up the outsourcing of slave labor overseas, making the situation here even worse.  And doing nothing about the situation back home.  But doing it in such a way that is literally invisible to the American people so all they see is Obama doing his “I care” act bullshit when the man doesn’t give a flying fuck.

And the reason I know all of this is deductive logic, Dr. Watson.  Plus a very strong background in Telco and IT.  Not to mention political and internet marketing strategy.  That includes, yes, even though I have tits, a working knowledge of electrical and network engineering.  BASED ON EXPERIENCE.  What the hell do you think digital video is?  It’s the same as data.  It just needs to move faster.  That is the layman’s explanation, but essentially that’s all the difference there is.  But Obama and crew want to play I’m smarter than you and use this to fuck everyone who doesn’t know this.

They don’t want Americans to know about this stupid tagging crap, manipulation of the internet, outsourcing jobs as an official policy, along with the rest of the story, because the sponsorship and the story itself was removed from that site by another act.

Another trap I’ll get to in a sec.

But back to the sponsorship thing.

That Pepsi sponsorship was triggered by the data mining of the picture of the CEO of PepsiCo India at the White House dinner.  Set by Law.com for a reason.  By whom do you think?  Who does business in India and needs to know Indian law, number one?  And number two; there is another reason which I’ll get to in a moment.  Also very geeky and technical, but important.

The answers are corporate lawyers and law firms who do the outsourced business of big corporate America.  Where metadata and data mining are starting to be a big deal.  Who the president is servicing and giving all the bailout money to first, instead of supporting small business.  Don’t you remember Summers finally saying about three weeks ago, something to the effect “oh, yes, well we are turning our attention now to small business.”

Why wasn’t that the FIRST PRIORITY OF THE ECONOMIC RECOVERY?

Small business has always been the driving force of the commercial engine of America.

For the White House to be MIA for TEN MONTHS while saving Big Business and Wall Street first, while giving them extra money on top of that, is bad enough.

For this shit on top of that (i.e. speeding up the export of cheap labor overseas) is even worse.

But they’re not going to give much money to small business either.

Why?

Because they are flushing it down the toilet in Afghanistan.

And who does that benefit?  Wall Street and big business.  Who make the equipment for DoD in the first place.  And get their financing from Wall Street.  So this whole canard is just another bailout of Wall Street over YOUR STREET, plus a whole lot of kids who are going to get blown away just for the fuck of it.

ONE YEAR IN AFGHANISTAN COSTS AT LEAST AS MUCH as the entire domestic bailout.

Conservatively it costs about $1 Million per troop per year to keep those kids in an area that we are never going to do jack in.  THREE EMPIRES HAVE ALREADY TRIED TO GO IN ALREADY AND LOST.  What the fuck are we doing there?  Does Obama really think he’s so fucking brilliant that he’s going to do better than anyone else on the fucking planet or in history?

NO FUCKING WAY.  He is delusional if he even maintains a dream about it.

The country IS MOUNT EVEREST.  OBAMA IS NOT FUCKING MOHAMMED.  HE CAN’T MOVE MOUNTAINS.  Much as he would like to think so.  Or his ass kissing staff tells him that.

If you have read ANYTHING about what those kids are going through this is exactly what they are facing and it’s flipping their wigs.  If not blowing their circuits.  Even the ones who made it through Iraq, in one piece and relatively sane.  Which was no picnic.

The country itself in the lowlands, if you look at my last blog on the topic, and I’ll include the topographical map below again, is at it’s LOWEST point, 3,000 feet above sea level.  Those squiggly little lines folks, for those unused to reading topographical maps, are FUCKING MOUNTAINS.  THE HIGHEST, TALLEST, MEANEST MOTHERS ON THE PLANET.

Now, add 60-80 lbs of gear to that, which is what the average combat soldier wears, no language skills, no interpreters (how many Afghani fluent interpreters does DoD have do you think, when we only had like ten Iraqi ones and we fired one for being gay, let alone the State Department where Mrs. Clinton gives the Russian head of state a MISSPELLED BUTTON MEANING RESET?) a completely foreign culture, even more foreign than Iraq, a culture that has been under attack for CENTURIES, so trust me, they are fierce as shit, not to mention Bedouins used to picking up and moving in three seconds flat, plus caves and secret hidey holes carved into the mountains and what do you think is going to happen?

Obama is saying we’re out of there in 2011?

BULLSHIT.

Those troops are going to be kicked into outer space.  Several galaxies far from here.

Obama doesn’t give a shit.  He’s listening to the generals and playing politics and rewarding Wall Street and corporate America.  YET AGAIN.  And the generals don’t give a fuck.  They just want promotions, big budgets and lots of toys to play with.

That is DoD.  Trust me.   I know these assholes.  Why the hell do you think I kicked THEIR asses when I was in DC.

So what the hell are we doing sending kids off to a war we are going to lose, costs billions to fight and is going to cause a shitload of suffering and we don’t even have a plan to treat the wounded already.  THERE IS NO PLAN TO TREAT, REHABILITATE OR FIND JOBS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE TBI.  THE SIGNATURE WOUND OF BOTH IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.

Trust me.

I have TBI.

Even neurologists don’t fucking understand it.  It causes so many different kinds of conditions and we are on the dawn of neuroscience, that the fact that fucking White House is not only sending more troops off to a stupid war, but on top of this REFUSING to meet with the ONE PERSON IN THE COUNTRY, according to DOD, who doesn’t like ME, yet despite this, has already told me that I am far ahead of THEM in dealing with this, IS ANOTHER SIGN OF UNBELIEVABLE ARROGANCE.  IF NOT IRRESPONSIBILITY, SEXISM, RACISM, CLASSISM and everything else-ism.  And my proposal covers far more than that.

Like putting YOUR ASSES BACK TO WORK.  NOW.  At good salaries.  And saving your fucking mortgages.  NOW.  But Obama doesn’t want that.  Summers doesn’t want that.  Congress doesn’t want that.

They want their buddies to make a fortune off America’s pain.  And whether or not you want to believe that or not, that is what is happening.  All you have to do is look at where the grants are going.  I just happen to have contacts in DC at a high level because of my experience and have secret hidey holes and sources I’ll never reveal that also confirm that this is going on.

And that is totally WRONG.

And this latest escapade of blaming the secret service, is exactly the same fucking thing.  Obama and Co. are basically acting like High Caste Indians and treating the rest of America like low caste untouchables, as they call them in India.  While sending out Obama to do his “everyone in America has opportunity BS” act when they need him to.

Folks, Obama himself was incredibly privileged despite the ‘po black boy shit the campaign cooked up.  How many people have legacy AND minority extra special passes to Harvard Law?  Plus grannies who work at banks, so cosignatories on loans was never an issue.  How many people can say that?

3?  Maybe?

In the ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY?

So I gave them a taste of their own medicine.  Because I have a fucking education.  And because despite the fact that Obama thinks that he is god’s gift to the fucking planet, he’s not.

At this point I think he’s just a greedy, lying, corrupt fucking snot.

You do not set up people who are putting their lives on the line to protect you and your family for some fucking stupid political game to protect someone who may be your fucking mistress.  Much less the billion dollar salaries of some of the most corrupt, abusive companies on the planet.  The American Fortune 500.

But in the case of Tinkerbelle and Dingbat, whoever those two are, why the hell has Obama not already just ‘fessed up that he knew who they were?

Why is Tinkerbelle’s claim to greatness different in that picture at the end of the story I already posted than what she claimed to be in Virginia?  Why did no reporter do a check to see if she was a cheerleader FOR the Redskins in the first place?  Or Orwell Central for that matter before going off on some tangent about terrorists?  The Redskins are DC’s hometown sports obsession.  It’s not that difficult to get lists of who was on the cheerleading squad  going back to the founding of the team itself.  It’s not a national security secret.  Like say getting into the White House.  During a HIGH SECURITY, have to be CLEARED BY THE PENTAGON FIRST TO GET IN affair.

But Obama knows them, has for some time, has YET to say that he does, that is very clear, why the fucking secrecy in the first place?  That is what is so WRONG with this whole fucking story to begin with.  And why I smelled a rat.  And why I set out so many rat traps.  And sure enough, they’re going off.  Confirming my story and my suspicions to a T.

And that is why I’m deconstructing it.  And setting the traps I am.  And so far, every fucking suspicion, not to mention trap has been right and gone off like clockwork.  And that alone should make you too, start to ask some really hard questions if not pee in your fucking pants.  Why?  I’ll get to in a minute.

But back to the story.  We were at Pepsi.

Pepsi is hardly a shrinking violet when it comes to the online branding and social networking of it’s branding either.  I highly suggest you take a look at this link and especially think about the politics of the American politician they show.  Specifically the one known as “Tricky Dick” and his involvement with things like dirty tricks, break-ins, lying, illegal spying and of course, ILLEGAL WIRETAPPING.

And the significance to today’s problems with say FISA.  And what I’m pretty sure is an enemy’s list.  Because no matter what I’ve done, and what I’ve said, and no matter how much I’ve called, the White House REFUSES to call me back.

And there is NO EXCUSE FOR THAT.

But on the topic of Pepsi using Nixon as their iconic role model, rather ironic and fitting, don’t you think?  And pretty stupid on Pepsi’s part, although quite revealing of both their corporate politics, and, I’m sorry to say, The White House’s.  And this stupid equation and continuation of America’s obsession with fighting wars and translation of “Commie=Terrorist.”

And part of this idea called cultural superiority that Americans have that our mission in life is to Americanize the world.

Wrong.

While I’m no opponent of FAIR international trade, I don’t like seeing the double arches of McDonalds in Serbia.  And OUR, as in the American way of life is in NO WAY SUPERIOR to that of any other culture.  In fact, our way of life is incredibly destructive. Including ecologically.

Samuel Huntington, who I’m sure Mr. Obama read at Harvard or Columbia, and probably loves, was an appalling example of this kind of grandiose, America is better than anyone else thinking.

And Americans in general are appallingly culturally imperialistic, ignorant and intolerant.

And you can hate that opinion and statement all you want but having lived abroad, and trust me, if this country doesn’t shape up, will again pretty soon, with no plans on returning ever again, other countries and their cultures have the right to exist, without America fucking telling them what to do, eat, drink, consume or how to live their lives.  Much less steal their natural resources at gunpoint.  Or use their population as slave labor for our multinational criminal corporations.  Who use the same corporate BS propaganda as the White House is now, but trust me, it’s Bullshit.

Having worked at one of those appalling megamonsters out of necessity for awhile, which has now absolutely destroyed my life (guess that teaches me, huh) I know damned well how American corporations treat Indian workers.  Highly skilled ones at that.  And the truth is not very pretty.  In fact it’s a horror story.

But for the next part of THIS HORROR STORY, you’ll have to tune in to the next blog post.  Part II

All the President’s Perps – The “Plumbers” at the White House Gates Pt 2.

When playing in the deep end of the ocean with big white sharks, you either have to don a shark suit or be protected by a titanium shark cage.

Despite some bloggers on a site not worth mentioning having great difficulty accepting this fact, I have that experience and knowledge and know how to play it with the best of them.

And beat them.

And have before.

And hopefully this will not only educate you on the state things really are in, but stop this bullshit “how do you know that,” as well as start teaching you discriminatory male and female for that matter people who don’t think a woman could have this kind of experience and background, think I’m doing it to brag, feel the need to put it down for some unknown reason, or discriminate because of disability.

It’s called INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING.

Maybe it’s been so long since you’ve seen it, that you’ve forgotten what it looks like.

And that is tragic.

But I don’t think that is just what is going on.

But back to the story.

Indian society is also, unfortunately as much as I am culturally aware and sensitive to other cultures, still very “caste” driven.  Which means that if you are born to a “high” caste you will have a decent life. Maybe even a fabulous one.   But if you are born to a low “caste” no matter how hard you work, or how smart you are, it doesn’t matter.

People are selling their internal organs, literally to eat right now in India.

Why?

Because American multinationals are basically outsourcing cheap labor there.  Exploiting both the vast majority of the Indian workforce and putting Americans out of work.  In other words the exact opposite of a meritocracy.  And worsening our own recession.  Or rather DEPRESSION.

And these are policies that Mr. Obama is also following.  If not accelerating.

FACE IT FOLKS.

Why would the Indian Government be honored at the White House’s first State Dinner, otherwise?

But in terms of our rat at the White House story, what this sponsored blog posting meant, on a highly trafficked and reposted article law web site, in fact THE premo feeder consolidator blog site for legal eagles in this country… is that there was a deal in place, because these things do not happen by accident, trust me, because I have worked in very sophisticated Telco operations and engineering and data mining and am extremely familiar with Telco law, both here and in India, and for that reason, know that this was set up for a reason.

Particularly because outright political promotion of commercial product is ILLEGAL.

Which is why Pepsi DOES NOT HAVE ANY PRESS RELEASES ON IT’S OWN WEBSITE DISCUSSING THE FACT THAT THE CEO OF PEPSICO INDIA WAS AT THE WHITE HOUSE THAT NIGHT.

Even the Indian version of the website.

It’s also a very subtle kind of advertising.  That is why they call it astroturfing.  And why David Axelrod’s nickname is AXELTURF.

Are the dots connecting now?

Well let me draw you a straight line between the two.  If you read this link, you will see that Pepsi traditionally has always been niche marketed to the African-American community.

IN THIS COUNTRY.

I know this may be complicated, and yes, long, but that why this is so important to break it down.

What I’m trying to explain for the less IT inclined is that LAW.COM, almost certainly at the “suggestion” of the White House, set its data mining algorithm to pick up pictures of the head of PepsiCo at that fucking White House event and automatically assumed that nobody would think that this was a setup and sponsor it by Pepsi if it included a picture of the head of PepsiCo India.  Or maybe added “Obama” and “branding” to the equation.  Also words I used in my story.

Now.  Why is this important?

Well, I know that some people have told me that my blogs are too long, but this is very important.  Indian Telco law is very different than American Telco law when it comes to landline broadband, but when it comes to cell phones and airspace, the laws haven’t been written yet and/or don’t apply.  Just like this country.

Specifically when say an American multinational bank sets up an office in Mumbai, its PBX or digital phone and data system “switch” that tells what number to go where when you dial it, for example,  has to be separate from the Indian phone system network.  Otherwise you get all sorts of taxes, legal mumbo jumbo and other garbage that trust me, even big banks do not want to deal with.  And I know this because I have negotiated Indian and American Telco deals.  Big ones.

But since most Indian CONSUMERS use cell phones, this is very different, so that sponsorship is an international news item and law story that can also be used as a “tag” or “metadata” as it were by Pepsi India to put on other blogs and news channels etc. in India.  For PR.  For advertising.  You know the drill.  You are not stupid.

Now.  Next step.

Who else would know things like that?  I’m talking the sophisticated international legal mumbo jumbo crap I just blew your mind with, if not bored you to death with, not the branding stuff.  That’s easy.

Lawyers.  Okay.  Yes.  Easy.  There are quite a few in the White House.  Including guess who?  Numero Uno in the Oval Office.  Who has already displayed a quite impressive, I have to say, understanding of how to bend if not break every fucking law on the books.  And do it in such a way that makes Mr. Clinton’s expression “I did not have sex with that woman” glaringly clear that yes indeed, prostitution is the oldest profession on the planet.

And guess who he’s fucking for profit?   US.

Google (another Obama fave, government vendor, White House vendor and their CEO is also a Presidential advisor).

And telecoms.  Hmmmm….Know any connected to this administration?  Like the ex- head of AT&T who just got promoted to the head of GM?  And the same guy who the Head White House Mobster and Bully (Rambo) also has dealings with in his past?   Instead of going to jail like he should have for appalling violations of the law, except that Congress gave him and all the other perps a get out of jail free card last year.  Under what law…FISA.  Which gave all the telecoms, just like Obama gave the CIA, immunity for the absolutely law breaking crap Bush implemented in the name of “national security.”

But nobody really knows what the hell is going on in that space and that is very problematic.  Especially as it appears that Mr. Obama intends to keep it that way and use it to his own personal advantage and profit, and also undermine the Constitution.  Which is why I’m going to write a blog about it which is going to make Glenn Greenwald’s hair turn white.

But it was precisely because I do know so much about what is going on, and no, I’m not going to reveal how I do, that this was the first rat trap that I set.  Because I suspected that it would happen.  Because I know my shit and I suspected that this is how stupid they are…i.e. that nobody would suspect the White House, I.e. Obama and Co. not the Secret Service was guilty of this shit, and only look at the pictures.  And write stories about how awful this “threat” to our poor, innocent, pure as driven snow, Mr. crooked fucking President.”

And of course that was the first rat trap that went off.

Spectacularly.

Caught in the act.  SNAP.

And why is this important?

Because as soon as I added the second picture of Obama with Tinkerbelle and Dingbat, showing that HE KNEW THEM, and had for some time,  PLUS sent this down to the Hill Committee holding investigations on the “BREAKINTERRORISTTHREATSECRETSERVICEFUCKUPTHREATTOTHEPRESIDENTANYONECANWALKINTOTHEWHITEHOUSEANYTIMETHEYWANTBULLSHIT” a couple of the other hidden rat traps started going off.

Which again, I suspected and had set.  A long time ago in fact.  Not that I knew that this was particular event was going to trigger it.  But I knew that something like this was coming.

Why?

I know DC, and I know the players in Obama’s White House.

And I read him like a fucking book.

And the phone call was not only to protect the Secret Service guys, or at least an effort to, because there was also a good chance that Congress could cover this up, but also a way to trigger the other traps, verify the story, and force the PRESS to act.

Because while I may be a Democrat, I don’t support corrupt ones.  And this administration is so corrupt, incestuous and cares so little about the people it was supposed to protect and serve that I am tired of it.  You do not use the information you have, or your supposedly superior intellect or education, to fuck the very people who put their trust in you for “Change we can believe in.”

And I don’t believe in this shit at all.

Because no matter how much you people think I am stupid or paranoid or crazy or don’t have the experience I do just so you can stay in your stupor, you are about to get taken into the fucking Matrix.

For your own survival.  You don’t even have to take a fucking pill.  In fact, given what I know going on at the FDA these days, the fewer you take, the safer you are.  They are even getting sued right now on the federal level for not even following their own damned testing procedures for drugs that the American public is not allowed, per the mandate of this administration to sue the drugmakers for if the drug hurts you.  And that is not, along with everything else, any way to protect the American public, but rather the pocketbooks and profits of the pharma companies, Wall Street and those who own stock in Pharma companies.

So into the matrix we go…..

And there is no going back.

The first thing that happened after my phone call, as within the hour, was that the LAW.COM sponsorship AND the article immediately disappeared off the site altogether.  I had my screen up watching it and watched it disappear.

Yes, I admit it, when hunting my prey, I told you, I’m a fucking Gimp Velociraptor.  But aren’t you glad I’m fighting for YOU, than on the other side?

SNAP.  Another rat corpse just went RIP.

Poor little rats.  Don’t you feel sorry for them?  I wouldn’t if I were you.  How many months are you behind on your mortgage?  If you still have a house that is?  Or have gone without a job?  Or health insurance?

Thank you.  That was my point.

Now.  What does that amazing disappearing act mean?

Two things.

A call went to either Orwell Central or the White House or both at a very high level FROM CONGRESS and probably from there to the legal department of the White House.  I suspect it only went to 1600 Penn.  Because the agencies are basically flunkies.  And a call went from the White House to Law.Com or Pepsi.  One of the two.   Or both.   I don’t know and don’t care, but the fact that my posting disappeared is proof enough that the White House was in on this all along.

And Congress was and may still try to cover this up.

Because a Congressional aide would not have called Pepsi.  Or Law.Com.  It’s against the law.  And they don’t have Executive Privilege to cover their asses.  Right in the middle of ethics investigations on the Hill, particularly against African American House members (who was overseeing this charade).  Are you nuts?  They might have called Nancy Pelosi’s office and SHE might have called the White House, but nevertheless, however the route, someone high up and mighty and snooty got the message loud and clear that they’d just been caught in the act.  And acted very, very fast to clean up their act.  Or to be more accurate, coverup of fuckup.  Or removal of evidence.  Although of course, the fact that the blog was even listed on LAW.COM’s server at all, plus my server’s evidence of traffic from that sight, is enough to prove that it was there so no coverup of fuckup is going to happen this time.

Despite an attempt to do just that.

But clearly a call to the White House, Pelosi’s office or to the Department of Homeland Security who can then call the White House is not Illegal.  Especially if Congress too, had no intention of really “investigating” this crap.

One to cover their own asses.  Because Washington in the middle of a scandal is really like a fucking minefield.  Trust me.   It’s almost funny to watch, especially with real bad guys getting their ears pinned back, which hasn’t happened in far too long.  Especially if you are not in the middle of it.  If you are and Congress is doing it’s job, which it hasn’t either for far too long,  it’s a living nightmare.  Particularly if falsely accused.

As in say the McCarthy Trials?

And the second reason I know that there was White House involvement here was because the LAST thing that the Democrats want to do is damage our relationship with the Indian government either.  Where else are we going to get slave labor?  And keep this country deliberately poor.  Because that domestic economic policy is deliberate too.  But a subject for another post.   But also because we don’t want another war to set the whole region on fire.  That is why this whole thing is so stupid on Obama’s part.

He should have ‘fessed up by now.

And then the third rat trap went off so beautifully, and like clockwork, I couldn’t stop laughing for at least an hour.

I posted the first story right here on WordPress, and this is the one I sent to the Hill, but I do have other blog sites.  How many I have, and where, nobody will ever know.  But let me put it to you this way.  My first job in Washington was for a man by the name of Mort Halperin at the legislative offices of the ACLU on Capitol Hill.  Mort is the daddy of ABC National News Director Mark Halperin.  And of course tied into Podesta too.  After working for the ACLU, he went to work for the Clinton administration.  And after that went to work for Podesta.  His other son works there now.

Incest city any one?  In the south there’s this old joke that “incest is a game the whole family can play.”  It should be applied to DC too.

Mort, apart from being a legend in his own mind, actually he is very well known, but a raging egomaniac, is also an absolute sexist, classist shit.  Who told me that I “didn’t deserve to go to Harvard law because [I] didn’t go to an Ivy undergrad.”  Simply by the way because of economic circumstances mostly caused by that fuck’s previous experiences and decisions at spook central, also known as the NSC until he was fired, because he was the person who Nixon thought leaked the Pentagon Papers until Ellsberg ‘fessed up.  And Ellsberg by the way, not only had his psychiatrist’s office broken into so the government could try to call him crazy too to discredit him, as some nameless bloggers on some nameless sites have tried to do to me on this story.

But also because Mort didn’t really like the fact that I had just kicked the ass of a very powerful Republican Senator on the Hill at the age of 19 who HE couldn’t control.  And that would be Senator Jesse NO Helms.  Unfortunately men are sometimes like that.  So rather than say, “wow, I’m impressed,”  Mort basically derailed the only shot I had of going to Harvard law school.  Because one letter from him to the advisory board at Harvard would have gotten me in.  Testing scores, academic performance, etc. were never an issue.  I just was really poor with a screwed up, albeit very famous family that self destructed because of a lot of reasons and I was a girl.  And Mort was a sexist bastard with an inferiority complex.

But that is how DC treats women.  And that is how America does too.  And it hasn’t changed to this day.  Obama is doing the same thing.

Gee.  That is an amazing parallel.  And certainly a “coincidence.”  But typical.  So it’s not an unusual experience.  America is a discriminatory and cruel country.  And it always has been.  And its culture and history has been based on bullying, genocide, discrimination and abuse.

Deny it?

Okay.  Two examples you can’t argue with.  Slavery.  Slaughter of Native Americans.

End of conversation.

But disability discrimination is the American Apartheid.  And calling someone crazy to try to discredit them or any other kind of mistreatment or misconception based on a stereotype about disability, whatever kind you have, is also called abuse, discrimination and a deliberate way to try to undermine someone.  And always done by bullies who are by definition idiotic as in uneducated, cowards.  That is what bullies are.

In my case, just as in Ellsberg’s, it was stupid.  But also shows you just a brief glimpse of how long “mental illness” or even the charge of it, however unfounded, stupid, without merit, or without the right to say it because a) it is against the law in a workplace (which a blogsite where you make money off of hits from advertisers most certainly is) to do so and b) also against the law to “diagnose” someone with a medical condition per federal law without a license, so don’t do it, or disabilities in general, of whatever kind, and those that have them, are stigmatized and used to discredit people, abuse them, and put them down.  It’s called DISCRIMINATION.  And ABUSE.  And a HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION AND CRIME.  And FYI, ILLEGAL.  Under multiple and very expensive statutes when you lose.  Including a whopper called DEFAMATION.

In the case of this story, to date, I have already had two ding dongs who were just stupid and abusive and very discriminatory.  Or at least I certainly hope so.  I’m not paranoid.  In Ellsberg’s case, the government actually broke into this man’s DOCTOR’S OFFICE to obtain records they had NO RIGHT TO ACCESS to try to cover up their illegal shit.  And discredit him in the process as mad as a hatter.  When in fact, it was that he was just distraught about the horrific crap he was seeing and couldn’t deal with it anymore.  And his act of bravery saved a lot of lives and ended that fucking stupid war.

Ms. McCain, and others like her, that would be VIETNAM.  I know you weren’t born yet.  However, there are books and even movies on it, plus of course the internet, and in Ms. McCain’s case, daddy paid big bucks for that young lady to go to an Ivy League (the same one as Obama in fact) to get an education.  But she still doesn’t know shit.  I wonder what that says about Obama?

So you see the value of a branded education?  It doesn’t mean jack.  All it means is people with money can keep out the unwashed masses.  And the lucky few who made it through by dint of things like affirmative action were supposed to be the leading proponents of making a more fair and just society.

Not turning America into a caste system like India.

Mr. Obama, you are not a Raj, an Emperor or a King.  You are the ultimate PUBLIC SERVANT – as every leader is in an elected Democratic government.  Stop acting like a fucking autocratic asshole and start doing your goddamned job.  And remember that the ONLY reason you got into those programs was not so you could fuck people over, but so you could open more doors.  Not pull the ladder up after you.

What was that old saying about slaves being the worst masters?  Well it certainly applies to YOU.  Except Obama has always gotten the best of everything.  Despite the po’ boy dun good crap the campaign cooked up.  That was one of those niggling little “lies of omission” that bothered me throughout the campaign.

But apparently bothered nobody else…and went completely unreported by the mainstream media.

Not to mention America seemed to fall for it hook line and sinker.

Why the hell do you people NEVER FUCKING LEARN?

Is it national amnesia?  Alzheimer’s?  Poisoned water?  Something you ate?  Because you are just like Megan McCain?  Because you deliberately blind yourself to it?  I know you don’t like the government because you are always bitching about it.

So why are you trusting it now?

White guilt?

Puleeze.  Obama doesn’t give a fuck about poor minorities.  Despite all the lip flap.  If he did, there would have been at least one table at that State Dinner for a public school group of kids from DC.  For starters.

Because I can tell you for sure that if you discount what I’m saying you are (if still employed that is) literally paying taxes to enslave yourselves and sell all that is special about this country down the drain.  Or flush it down the toilet.  Whatever analogy you would like to use.

But the real moral of the story here is that despite ol’ Mort being a bastard to me, I learned a fuckload about Darpanet from him, which is where of course between DoD and the NSC, Darpanet was cooked up and which was the original internet, and I also learned a great deal about the innermost workings of the NSC and spookdum in general, far beyond the book knowledge I already had and knowledge I got from other places I’m not going to reveal, but just as credible.

And yes, I do mean emphasis on the “dum.”  Although given some people’s habit of pointing out my spelling mistakes as yet another way of trying to discredit me, when I usually use spell check on sites that have it, and of course in all my professional work in tools and software that HAVE SPELLCHECK, because one of my disabilities doesn’t make me a great speller,  I should add a b, except that they get an F- from me.  Exhibit A:  Afghanistan.  Said enough.

So trust me, you ding dongs out there don’t even know how to fuck with me on the IT level alone, or think I am IT illiterate, DO NOT FUCK WITH ME PERIOD.  Google has stolen my IP, okay?  That is all I can say because I am in the middle of legal proceedings that involve that.  But put that in your pipes and smoke on it before you come back and tell me that I am being fucking paranoid.

And there is much more of the non IT stuff we can discuss if you (as in THE GUVUMUNT & THU BIG BOYS) decide to even THINK about threats, intimidation or anything else.  That was written because I have been before, and I know for certain that this blog is now being monitored because of the next rat trap that went off that I’m about to tell you about.

I’m still being nice.

I mean I can always start talking about dick sizes of VIPs in DC if you really want me to start getting nasty.  Or who pays who for sex.  And what kind.  With a long and very detailed historical knowledge of that too.  I have so many gay MALE gay friends in Washington that trust me, I am the wrong gal to piss off.  And we won’t talk about female friends.  One sentence says it all.

Lesbian lingerie parties with well known faces in DC that I have attended.  I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.

And that is just ONE embarrassment if you want to play dirty tricks shit with me.  Or don’t set up that Oval Office meeting on the double.

I have a whole fucking armory.  So watch your fucking step Big Brother.  You are in the middle of a landmine field right now and you never know when the next one is going to go off, if I am fucking even touched or threatened.  It’s called self defense.  And hurry that fucking Oval Office meeting up.  As in PRONTO.

Of course when I sent my email down to the House Committee holding the hearings on all of this nonsense I used my WordPress.com blog.  And sent the email from my Yahoo account.

But I have monitoring abilities set up in various places which show me who is checking what and from where.

And sure enough, despite the fact that I gave them the references that they needed to check my credibility, which are very, very, very credible, like say offer a letter of commendation of my work and knowledge of Constitutional law from a U.S. Supreme Court Justice by the name of Brennan, earned at the age of 25,  I’m sure the spooks will have heard of and the White House most surely will have, because this is going there too, to multiple offices, as well as all over the media, don’t worry, and some other places too, I gave the name of one of the new EEOC Commissioners Obama just appointed who I used to work with, and a couple of other very well known people in DC.  Including elected reps in Congress.

What happened?

They didn’t send me an email asking for say contact numbers.

Somebody checked a profile I had deliberately set up on Google.  Actually alot of people did.

That has never happened before.

The next rat trap I was expecting to go off went SNAP.

Now.  A couple of things.  Why or how would they know that I use Google?  Well I do use a couple of Google apps, essentially out of necessity, although I try to stay as far clear of Google as possible because I do not like the company, the people who run it, or what Obama is doing with it.

But I also knew for sure, that along with the White House, one of the other agencies who uses it is the Department of Homeland Security.  Thus my little remark in the story about Mrs. Obama’s big deal about getting a nasty picture off of Google and my surprise that they did.   Because if Google is working for Orwell Central and Mrs. Obama is able to get HER picture taken off the site, that means that she too thinks that she is above the law.  Because Homeland security keeps files on EVERYONE.

And Obama and the Missus seem to think they are above the law and can do whatever they want.  Which is not true.  But why I also made a big deal of it.  To make sure that those assholes knew that I knew too, who the hell was using fucking Google and where.  And what kinds of things the Obama’s consider protected under “EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE.”  In other words BULLSHIT.

So that means that my little Congressional staffer not only checked himself, but someone also did probably at Orwell Central and most certainly The White House.   Because that profile, I.e. the rat trap I set, saying that I had voted for Obama, which I did, but I was increasingly sorry I had, given what he was doing, which of course I am, had been checked a great deal.  Rat traps all over the fucking place were going snap, snap, snap.

Rather than say, calling any of my references provided in that email, these assholes checked my Google profile.

Why?

Well, for one thing they want to know as much about me as possible.  Even though Cassandra Butts has known me for over 20 years and since University, as has Melody Barnes, both of whom now work in the White House, and Cassandra went to Harvard with Obama.

But someone wanted to know about me, ON THE QT.

Otherwise they would have made those fucking calls to my references.  OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE.

And two, they want to control the “damage” as much as possible.  Except they can’t control it.

They won’t be able to.  Short of shipping me off to Bagram.  Or shooting me as a “terrorist.”  And if they want to call me a “disabilities terrorist,” then they are going to have to execute Seth Harris too, the Undersecretary of Labor, who sits in a wheelchair and who publically calls himself that.  So they are going to be in kind of an awkward position there as well.  And since I have never had security clearance or hacked anything they can’t accuse me of that either.

The reason I know these things is called an education.

It is also called working for a living as opposed to being set up for easy ass jobs because you got minority and legacy preferances to the Ivy Leagues, and given $200K raises when hubby wins the Senate, which he was set up for to begin with, and bankrolls the Hospital where you work through a Congressional earmark.  A senate seat he was set up to win in the first place.  Actually it is called working your ass off for a living and never getting any credit for it, much less a decent paycheck, because girls with morals and ethics, and willing to stand up to the White House, especially those without Ivies or crooked mentors, much less husbands, are stupid, biologically inferior, and still underpaid and don’t understand shit about squat.

And certainly can’t put two and two together.  Called critical thinking and logic.

Combined with experience that includes overseas experience.  And the luck, combined with the misfortune of having the family I have.

But I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is a real story.  And that the government including the White House and now Congress is trying to cover this up.

So you have a choice.

Tell me this is too long.

Blow me off.

Tell me I’m crazy.

Tell me I’m stupid.

Or do something about it.  Like send it to all your friends.  Or send it to the government.  I don’t care.  I haven’t broken any laws.

Your choice.

I am going to continue to rub that Motherfucker’s face in this as well as the Missus if she starts fucking with me either, at 1600 Penn until he starts to act like a human being again as opposed to an Imperial asshole from hell, who thinks that he’s God’s gift to the universe, above the law and smarter than anyone else on the planet, who can do whatever he wants to anyone and is above the law.  And blows innocent kids to smithereens while making a big deal of seeing himself on the front of “Men’s Fitness” Magazine.  And not doing jack about disability issues.  Much less healthcare.  That is so disgusting I’m getting to a point where I don’t even want to see his fucking face.  Just like Bush I got nauseus when I saw that man’s face on TV.

Obama is not, cannot and will not be considered above the law.  Neither is the fucking Missus.

And trust me, this is not the only thing I have up my sleeve that is just as damaging to the “Obama Brand.”  That I intend to blog about and do.  That is my right as a U.S. citizen.  Protected under the Constitution of the United States.

Maybe you should read it sometime.

There are still some flaws, even with all those amendments.

And there’s still some work that needs to be done, but I think mostly in the courts and Judiciary, rather than the document itself.  But those are things that are in YOUR hands.  Because Presidents select Federal and Supreme Court Judges.  And you vote for Congress people to represent you.  And for the President.  And in many states, judges on the state and municipal level as well.

But this is a long blog for a reason.  It’s called how to set your own corrupt government up for dummies.  How to verify your facts.  And how to cover your ass.  Not to mention blow this fucker out of the water.  As in forcing the press to now cover it.  And Obama to start following his campaign promises as opposed to editing them off his website.

As I said before.  Coverup of Fuckup is a way of life in DC.  And there are a lot of people in on the act.

I am not going to let them get away with this.

There are too many people suffering if not dying right now because of this shit.  And morally, ethically, religiously, spiritually, as a citizen of this country, in every way, I cannot and will not put up with that.

So I am going to do something about it.

And if our PUBLIC SERVANTS don’t give a shit, then they aren’t doing their jobs.  That YOU PAY THEM TO DO.

YOU ARE THEIR BOSS.

THEY WORK FOR YOU.

NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

DON’T EVER FORGET THAT.

THEY MOST CERTAINLY HAVE.

AND I FOR ONE AM GOING TO FIGURATIVELY KICK THEM IN THE ASS UNTIL THEY REMEMBER THAT AND START ACTING THAT WAY.

And remember.  I’m doing this as much for me as I am doing this for you.  I don’t like suffering and I’m seeing too much of it.  And I have never been able to shut my eyes to it.  Perhaps that is what they call “naïve” or “Impactical” or whatever the bullshit du jour they come up with in that city to justify their bullshit, but bleeding this country dry and creating a slave society is not going to happen as long as I have breath in my body and am stuck in this prison.  Because that is what America is turning into.

And if you choose to do nothing either or join me too that is completely up to you.  But this is what real journalism is about, what ethics are and what leadership is and looks like.

Not pretty speeches and lying and spending your time on the golf course and in multi million dollar homes while you break all your campaign promises while giving all the best breaks to those who have the most and watching everyone one else, the majority of America, the people who turned to you for help and needed your help the most, left to suffer.

Because when that happens, someone like me is going to match your game and call you out.

What Obama is doing is NOT what America is all about.  I have fought harder and put my ass on the line for racial equality in this country and others, not to mention other causes just as important than he ever has.  And accomplished just as impressive credentials and accomplishments if not more so at an earlier age, without the help and the Ivies.

And just so you know I’m not making all of this up, here’s just one letter of commendation and two other pieces of proof that the fucking Hill staff never bothered to ask for, but will prove beyond a shadow of doubt TO YOU, that I have at least if not more experience at a younger age, if not more impressive credentials that the current leader of our country.  And have every right to ask for that meeting that will help everyone in this country.

While you may not have those accomplishments under your belt though, it still doesn’t matter.  You are special.  Every one of us is.  And we all have to work together, as equals.  No more ‘tude.  To pull us out of this dreadful mess.  Even if that means forwarding an article, this series, picking up the telephone and calling your Reps in Congress or sending them an email.

START DOING SOMETHING.

Because if I can do it, so can you.  And Obama has just run out of excuses.  And time.

Time is up.

This is the script for the video that led to the following legislation.  The Congressional Record is where all legislation that is passed is printed.  This was of course in the days before the internet.  If you would like to order a copy of that video by the way, or what Bill Moyers thinks of CDI, or the Center for Defense Information, that organization I worked for, which is a tiny non-profit that pays nothing and I had to raise the money myself to get out to Idaho to do this, take a look at the link above.  This show also aired nationally on PBS as part of what was then our weekly half hour public affairs/documentary program, of which I was one of four writers/directors and producers, and of course, the only woman.

The Owyhee Canyonlands is also the largest piece of land that was awarded Federal Wilderness Protection in the Omnibus Public Lands Protection Act signed earlier this year by Obama.  However because I’m biologically inferior, I wasn’t even invited to the signing.  Ms. Sutley, who was present, one of the two women who was, and who works at the White House, has yet to return my calls.

If you want to go look that up, go to the White House website, and see who they invited instead.  Most of them were men, with one celebrity boy who was naturally more entitled to be there since he was biologically superior to me, although he had nothing to do with anything in that bill.  The Republican from Idaho was invited, a man, but I wasn’t.

And Chris Reeve’s son didn’t even have a disability.  Not only do I have two, but both of my parents did.  His daddy got his through horsebackriding.  Not fighting for a country that lied to him instead.

Now do you see why Obama is a lie?  And why I see right through him?

And am going to be damned if he is going to ignore me?  Or I will let him do the same thing to you that he just did to me.  Or the secret service?  Or anyone else he doesn’t consider “important.”  Or “biologically superior.”

White House State Dinner “Crashed?” I don’t think so…..

If there is one thing that I do give Obama and Crew credit for, particularly the wanna be Machiavellian himself and his cohort Rambo, with a serving of Axelturf on the side, it is two things.

1.  They have no consciences.  And are if not politically “smart” then political “bullies.”  Or play good cop/bad cop, with no problem in literally beating up opponents.  That’s why Obama chose Rambo to begin with.

2.  All three are undemocratic, authoritarian media whores and power hungry bastards who know the art of using pr and media manipulation to a T.  Valerie Jarrett to some extent has a hand in this, but she knows knothing about media, this kind of imagery at this kind of sophistication (although she certainly does have a knowledge of the importance of the promotion of the “imperial” leader through symbolism) or any sophistication about DC.

In fact none of the current White House staff do, with the exception of Rahmbo, and he has no conscience or morals.  The Chicago crowd Buppies on the White House staff are all first or maybe second generation wealth, all corrupt, and extremely tacky, Buppy Oreos.

With NO TASTE. Tacky, as they say in the south.  I’m surprised Michelle Obama didn’t give the Indian Prime Minister a copy of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book..  For those of you who DON’T get the reference, the joke or the lack of Mrs. Obama’s cultural sophistication, much less education, which depends far more on WHAT you learn than WHERE you went to school (much as she would like to pretend that she has it or can buy it, right along with “class”), Kipling was a British writer during the height of 1800’s English Imperialist rule of “Inja,” and while a good writer and sometimes sympathetic to the natives, usually an unapologetic booster of the Crown and British Imperialism.  Not to mention the British East India Company.  In other words the equivalent of giving Gordon Brown, The British Prime Minister, upon HIS arrival at the Obama White House, American movies you could pick up from Target on a format you can’t play in England.

But certainly appropriate in this situation, if you have rotten dark humor like me, considering that both the East India Company and Michelle’s  husband are doing  the same damn stupid things, two hundred years apart, a few hundred miles north.  And for the same reasons.  But we’ll come back to that in a second.

Diplomatically, however, it would have been what those of us who do speak more than one language and do have a background in international affairs would call a major diplomatic faux pas.  Or, in translation, BIG NO NO.

But all of the above is completely lost, if not far above the heads of the elitist, rich Buppies (who got that way through corrupt activities) and white male twits on the make who now staff Obama’s White House.  Plus kiss ass Washington insiders, white or black, who flushed their morals down the toilet long ago.  And began cashing in connections for greenbacks, no questions asked, well over a decade ago (see Rambo for starters).

You see why I left DC?

But back to the event and “who dunnit” and why.

I think it was Rambo, Obama and Axelturf’s work.  With Stephanopolous on the side.  And Begala.  With of course Oprah.  And Anna Wintour (where is Bravo located, for one thing – New York in case you didn’t know -  and who has the kind of pull to GET Bravo to get involved in this kind of stunt?  One word.  Oprah.  Who needs something to do now she’s given up her own show and put Obama in the White House, and who’s own demographics mirror to a T that damned reality show those two “party crashers” were supposedly “auditioning” for.)

Why do I think this?

For starters, what would an ex cheerleader for the Redskins know about Indian fashion (what was she wearing folks), much less how would she get access to the theme of the event in the first place to know how to dress so she would fit in so perfectly?   Better in fact than anyone except the real Indians in attendance.

And for those of you unfamiliar with Indian fashion, those were not cheap duds.

And if the MENU of the affair was considered a state secret, not to mention the guest list, which it was, you can bet your bottom dollar, that somebody spoke to someone else about what the theme of the event was going to be, not to mention arranged this whole thing on the QT in the first place.

Which means that our “gatecrashers” were plants seeded by the White House.  To sow suspicion, and grow toxic waste just as hazardous to your health as Mrs. Obama’s toxic HAZMAT site on the White House lawn.  If not produce equally toxic byproduct for your consumption.  With equally toxic strategies in mind.

Elementary and logic, Dr. Watson.

These are not the kinds of things that are hard to figure out if you have a clue, an education and know where to look.

Or, if you know who’s who, and who the White House keeps, um “Classified,” if you know what I mean?  Especially in secret ops, and diversions.

Because if looking for finger prints, clues and evidence of perps at the scene of the “crime”  EVERYONE is a suspect.   And sorry for the very bad pun, but I’m really pissed at Obama about all of his crap on National Security, FOIA and FISA, and I couldn’t resist.

What are you going to do?  Laugh or cry?

But back to our “gate crashers.”

There is no way in hell this was an “accident” or even the work of two idiot “gatecrashers” on the make for their fifteen minutes of fame who, I also doubt would be able to talk their way into this event. Their IQ’s aren’t that high, for one thing to “talk their way in” which is one of the theories propounded at the moment by a White House reporter who knows damned well that this is impossible.  Even for Einstein.

Not that many of the other attendees were geniuses either, but they at least were celebrities.  These were rich, dumb idiots from one of the wealthiest suburbs of Northern Virginia with nothing to do with their time, and some connections, who decided that this would be a gas to try to pull off and pass off as a prank.

Spin again and try another answer on the “gate crasher” theory.  ‘Cause that one does not pass the laugh test.  Or as I say constantly the gas test.  In that it stinks.  Of corruption and deliberate media manipulation.  Commonly called manufactured propaganda.

Especially in the kind of distraction and propaganda this kind of thing has already created (i.e. were they terrorists, was the guy a Palestinian operative, was the President in any danger, etc. and if you don’t believe me, just watch some of the unbelievably inane conversations on the links to the news coverage I’ve included in this article), while concealing something devious and at the same time really underhanded, but a connection very obvious to make.

And stinks of the tactics of Obama, Axelturf and Rambo.  With the tackiness of Michelle thrown in for good measure.  Why do I think so?  Keep reading.

That’s their favorite kind of game and MO.

Psychopathology in politics is a very interesting subject. I recommend Reinhold Neihber’s classic work on the topic about the psychopathology of politicians.

And if you look at the bottom of the link about the man’s bio I’ve included above, guess who cites his work as his “fave.”

But if you look at this FABULOUS clip, a true classic from when TV was really TV, and the interview while long by today’s standards, excellent, unbiased, and eerily relevant in more ways than one, to modern events, you will see what I mean when, just like Bush, despite all that professed “brilliance,” I think Obama is a bit like Otto in that truly fabulous film, “A Fish Called Wanda” where he, unlike Bush actually read all the greats – he just, like his predecessor, who read the Cliff’s notes instead, still didn’t understand them.

But Neihber wrote a great deal about both religion and the psychopathology of politicians.  As well as morality in society in general.  I highly recommend this work,  “Moral Man and Immoral Society: A Study of Ethics and Politics (Library of Theological Ethics)” absolutely required homework and reading, if you’re REALLY interested in understanding the inner workings and getting the 411 of what’s yet to come from our head honcho.  And apparently a book Obama thinks he alone has read.  Because naturally he’s superior to everyone else on the planet.

But just like Bush, who, for example thought my late uncle’s phrase “Management by Objective” was to make himself as rich as possible by starting two wars right over the wealthiest oil fields in the world (Cost, what’s that?  Taxpayer dollars aren’t for infrastructure, they’re for fighting wars.  Civil liberties?  Who needs them?  Down the toilet they go. And daddy may have paid for his education, (just like Obama’s daddy helped him get into Harvard through legacy preferances and minority advantage) and both Obama and Bush read all the greats, but Bush, just like Obama sure doesn’t seem to understand them.

Or deliberately twist them because they either think they can get away with it, or because they assume that nobody will catch them in the act.  Or are claiming they are above the law, because of expanded Executive Privilege.  Also known as BULLSHIT.

And despite all this crap surfacing lately in the mainstream media (written I notice by established, white male journalists with White House access, what a surprise)  about “give the man more time, the “mistakes” are just because he doesn’t know what he’s doing and therefore forgivable” blah, blah, blah, are wasting both your time and mine.

That’s all crap.

They’re just the same.

Obama is just as cynical, if not worse than Bush.

Because he ran on a lie.  He is literally on something like 515 campaign “promises broken ALREADY.  And what’s worse, making not only a mockery of the Constitution and the presidency by his lawbreaking actions, but COMMODIZING IT.

And not only by the blatent product promotion of Google on the White House Website, but by literally, as of today, begun its own marketing efforts, hawking “can’t be missed” Obama embossed winter fleece jackets.  No pun intended.  To fleece me of bucks I don’t have since they’re doing such a great job up there at the White House with job creation and civil rights for gimps. Not to mention, uh, security, if you really want me to run their noses in it.  Not that I’d ever be a walking billboard for that man in my life.

And now this crap.

I think this “gate crashing” story was a set up all along.  And another way of marketing the Obama brand, the Afghani war, the increased need for a security state (I mean “the safety of the President was never in danger right? gushed one reporter breathlessly) give me a break, and had several other nefarious motives behind it.  Planned not by two dingbat rednecks with money from the rich suburbs of Virginia, but the inner sanctums of  the White House itself.

But this is EXACTLY how tacky the very idea of “branding” a President is, not to mention undemocratic and dangerous, and why I’m opposed to the commoditization of the Presidency in the first place.

Just like there’s a separation between church and state, and there’s a separation and supposed balance of power between the Executive, the Judiciary and the Congressional branches of power.  Not to mention a suppposedly independent “Fourth Estate” (the press) to act as guard dog, the Presidency IS NOT FOR SALE.  Nor is the President a brand or a commodity.

Or some kind of reality show.

And neither is our Democracy.

So this “gatecrasher” BS is precisely that.  I’ve been to AIDS fundraisers where the security is tighter than that.

This was deliberate, and planned by the White House.  And Obama knows what he’s doing.

And he’s doing it very cynically.

And this Tinkerbell and Dingbat Cinderella Act at the White House Ball scenario was just another media event “insider photo op” set up for your amusement and distraction by the Disneyworld La La Land production section of the White House propaganda corps.  Not to mention another way to “brand” the presidency.

Don’t believe me?  Okay.  Here’s why I think so.

First of all, let’s start with the obvious.  The gatecrashers are even claiming, through their attorney that they WERE CLEARED BY THE WHITE HOUSE TO BEGIN WITH, which makes this whole thing even MORE STUPID.

Not to mention suspicious.

But a great eye candy story to take your attention off of what is really going on.  Like the deployment of a great many U.S. troops just north of India next week in an area we still have not formally declared war in, are spending billions of dollars to fight phantoms in for no purpose whatsoever, are going to get our asses kicked, destabilize the region, and need those dollars at home even more.  But that is PRECISELY why the administration DOES NOT want you thinking about those issues.

They want you thinking about rich, bored ex cheerleaders who crash the White House state dinner party (and conveniently disappear right before dinner, knowing damned well they would run a greater risk of being caught, another piece of insider information that someone tipped them off to) again leading me to believe that this was not a, excuse the pun “lone gate crasher” operation.

I told you.

I read the MF as in POTUS, not to mention the witch that is FLOTUS, like there is no tomorrow, now that I know where both are coming from.  I have been consistently right, since I made the fatal flaw of NOT paying attention to the many bells that should have tipped me off last year, and voted for him anyway. And thought Michelle’s moving stories about her dad would move her ass on the disability issue.

And then watched, to my horror, as Obama appointed Rahmbo as Chief Pitball. And as for Michelle?  Well, let’s put it this way.  Mom-in-Chief, much less showing up at the Vatican in a veil, is hardly my idea of being the epitome of the modern role model for women.   And as much as I despise her politics and her guts, and think she’s as dumb as a plank (but given Michelle’s screw ups to date, I’m not so sure she’s superior in the IQ department either, despite those Ivies), and certainly just as corrupt as this administration, Sarah Palin has a lot more going for her.

At least she’s not dressed up as a Saint.  She’s a badass bitch from hell and she doesn’t care who knows it.  At least she’s HONEST about it.  And doesn’t put on this BS piety act in public while bitching about how difficult it is to keep two kids in private school at $20K per kid per year plus piano lessons of another $10K per year each, and then take quarter million dollar date nights to New York on the taxpayer dime, wear tennis shoes that cost TWICE as much as those on disability benefits recieved in the bailout (the least any demographic received under the bailout) and rent vacation houses in exclusive enclaves that cost as much per WEEK as the medium annual salary is for the average American worker.  If they still do have a job that is.  All the time talking about her pious understanding of what it meant to grow up poor.  And how her heart bleeds for those poor Americans out of work.  Thanks to her husband’s stupid economic policies.

Thanks, lady, but we don’t need another Evita Peron.  Stick it where the sun don’t shine.

I AM FED UP, with the lies, hypocrisy, deceit, illusions, and smoke and mirrors.

And this latest incident is just another example.  So I thought I would dissect it for you.

But back to Obama.  Since the naming of Rambo to Head White House Bully, it’s all been downhill ever since.  On rocket propelled jet skis.

Having worked in DC for well over a decade, both on the Hill and in the national press, including for international news AT White House pressers (i.e. inside the gates of the White House) even before 9/11, there is absolutely NO way that anyone could “crash” the White House.

Especially during a HIGH SECURITY EVENT.

Especially this kind of event and under these circumstances.   Especially during these times.

Not even Desiree Rogers (the White House Social Secretary) is that dumb although of course bravely falling on her sword in media reports, like all the White House staff are supposed to do in the service of the Massah, (although that is no defense of her IQ, which is somewhere around that of her dresses).

The people I feel sorriest for are the Secret Service guys, who are predictably going to pay the highest price for a plan cooked up at what I suspect is real estate very close to if not in the Oval Office itself.

While I’m no fan of testosterone addled, paramilitary outfits and people who work for them, which is basically what the secret service is, I do have respect for the folks who guard the President.

Who, while their heads may not hold the largest brains on the planet and may not be the brightest beans in the basket (although their other heads, at least those of the male persuasion, are quite impressive, I have to say, from personal experience, having dated a few during my tenure in DC, but just like I refused to give my gay (male) friends any salacious details, much as they begged, such details will remain a national security secret in blog form as well, DO NOT make such dumb mistakes as letting people talk their way into White House State Dinners with foriegn heads of state, high ranking U.S. officials and other VIPs in attendance.  Particularly this foriegn head of state.  Particularly right now.  We’ll get back to that in a sec if you don’t see where I’m going with that one.

However, let’s just put it this way.  While the heads they really think impressed the hell out of me, (in reality it was the other ones they have, do not expose in public, and not of the cranial variety that did) they do know how to do their jobs.

Which are EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.  24/7.

Which means they are very well trained before ever getting the White House assignment.  Especially on nights when high ranking domestic AND foriegn heads of state and CEOs and VIPs will be present.

They are very brave, well trained, and operate on autopilot to do things like body frisk you, naked, with or without a warrant, in two seconds flat,  if they have the slightest reason to think that you are not supposed to be where you are and you are a “threat,” which trust me, they are much better trained to identify than say Fox News, however much they aren’t exactly the people I’d go say recruiting rocket scientists from, and I suppose picked for their unswerving unthinking ability to do just one thing.

Protect the head of state and his or her family.  No questions asked, no excuses allowed.  And literally, no bullet dodged.  And no idiots with no ID and no names on ANY guest list, allowed in the door.  No matter how much sweet talking occurs, or cash flashed, unless the right ID is shown and the right names are on the right lists.

Because their job, when one’s natural instinct is to duck and run for cover when one hears gunshots, is to literally throw themselves IN FRONT OF THE BULLET or whatever danger du jour potentially confronts the President.  Which no minor White House flunky has the authority to overrrule.  Again as some idiotic DC White House reporters are even mentioning, when again, they know better.

And the Secret Service does this as a matter of course.  Even if they think personally, the man they are putting their lives on the line for is a lying snot.

They are not allowed to even let their own personal political or religious beliefs, much less excuses,  get in the way of literally putting their lives on the line for the Commander in Chief.

That’s why they get my respect. And those who are blaming them for this little escapade get nothing but my scorn.

So say what you will about their IQ, but it’s a job I couldn’t do.  They are brave and put their lives on the line EVERY DAY.

And why this “blame the secret security staff BS” makes me so steamed. I’m not saying that mistakes don’t happen.  But this is part of an unfortunate and oft recurring pattern of this administration…and right on the heels of the departure of the White House Chief Counsel.

Who Obama blamed for Gitmo, when it was clearly his fault.  And is also a part of another pattern.  The rampant elitism and classism of the White House.  Not to mention the “blame the fart on the dog in the room” when Obama needs to lay off a screw up on somebody else.

Obama is always blaming someone else for his fuckups and that’s when he expects someone to fall on a sword.  That’s why I am beginning to really despise him.  And why he’s so dangerous.  So far every time he’s needed a victim, he’s got one to volunteer.   That’s the sign of something far worse.

And for this kind of thing to happen at an event like this is even MORE suspicious.

It’s like the Reichstaag Fire for those of you with any sense.  Or understanding of history and manipulation of imagery for propagandistic purposes in politics.

This is just the modern day version.  For various nefarious political, propaganda and other purposes which are just as destructive.

And this crap about “investigating” the White House secret service’s supposed failure is exactly that.  And what’s worse is that the national DC press corps, especially White House reporters, who are reporting on this story, all know that.

They know, as well as I do, and anyone who has ever been anywhere inside the front gates of 1600 Penn, let alone the FRONT DOOR of the White House, knows you are entering Fort Knox.

And practically need your social security number, plus other unassailable ID tattooed on various body parts.  EVEN THE PRESS COULDN’T GET IN THAT NIGHT.

And trust me, with a real press pass, from a mainstream news outlet, or even semi respectible news outlet, and know what you are doing, you can practically get away with murder in DC.  Figuratively speaking of course.

BUT……there is ABSOLUTELY NO FLIPPING WAY that an unknown couple who, let’s face it, look like trashy Northern WHITE Virgininian Republicans, (in fact the woman in question WAS a cheerleader for the big DC sports team, the Redskins) and the breaking news is confirming this, (you see I am a very accurate, if cynical ex um “escapee,” shall we say ex denizen and commentator) could get in, much less get their names announced, at the event, without somebody checking out and authenticating some ID.  See the picture below?  Disagree with my assessment?

My point exactly.

While I’ve done my fair share of fancy talking and distracting to get into places I wasn’t supposed to be, (as all good investigative reporters learn how to develop those skills if they want to get the real low down on what the government is covering up) getting into State Dinners at the White House, past multiple security checks and guest lists and ID checks with BOTH White House personnel (with MAJOR ‘TUDE towards white people who aren’t celebrities) and secret service security staff at each step of the way doesn’t pass the credibility test with me.  Or the laugh or the gas test for that matter.

To put this in perspective, I’m the ONLY independent filmmaker to get onto the base of Fort Benning, the infamous American army base in Georgia that was also home to The School of the America’s (also known as the School of Coups) which had the distinction of training if not directly causing ALL of the coups and overthrowing all of the democratically elected governments in every country south of our border for at least sixty years and causing things like the slaughter of innocent nuns engaged in humanitarian work throughout our Southern Hemisphere during the entire Cold War (at your expense).   Isn’t that how you want YOUR taxpayer dollars spent?  But of course, despite the excuse that this was a program necessary to “defend” Americans from the “Communist Threat” kept secret from the American public for most of its existance.

For our own safety of course.

Which is why getting on base was, no pun intended, such a coup to pull off.  And why I know a thing or two about getting into classified, high security, no access to the general public, much less THE PRESS, places.

So take it from a pro at getting in where you’re not supposed to go, there is absolutely NO WAY that I could have pulled this stunt off, without some “unofficial” help from the inside.

And trust me, while the White House is secure, it ain’t an army base that houses a National Security Secret, Black Budget and highly classified military (and CIA) Program.  Not even close.

And in fact, as several of these news reports I’ve linked to seem to indicate, it appears they may have been “unofficially” invited anyway.  Which is again, one of those typical, underhanded Rambo/Obama/Axelrod moves.  Remember all that confusion about who contacted the Governor of Illinois over Obama’s senate seat?  Doesn’t this sound just a tad familiar?

Along with the fact that rather conveniently, who are these “dangerous” gate crashers shown next to?  Well apart from the female CEO of Pepsico India,as seen below….

which is rather convenient product placement for both a domestic and an Indian audience (if you recall that intense “policy” debate from earlier this year about whether White House staffers preferred Coke over Pepsi, like who cares, except a very product and brand conscious White House),  Obama, as seen here….

and in this picture……

and also video, Biden and Rambo.

Gosh, what a coincidence.  Don’t you think?  But again, one more piece of evidence, Colonel Mustard that this whole thing was a SETUP.

The dead body and the Candelabra are in the Kitchen.  Thus my filing this under the Open Call Tag.  Not to mention this was a WHITE HOUSE DINNER.

And this is even MORE suspicious when you consider the circumstances under which it took place.

Consider, this was a White House state dinner hosting the INDIAN head of state.  Who for those of you weak in geography, is the country just south of Pakistan, and in fact used to be one and the same country.  And the entire region is just to the south of a country you might of heard about in the news lately called AFGHANISTAN where Obama is about to do the absolutely DUMBEST THING ON THE PLANET and send more troops to go fight Vietnam II, Revenge of Mount Everest.

Where we are going to get our ASSES kicked.  And in fact I think this whole gate crasher thing is one big diversion for that troop deployment, along with something else or two.  That is how Obama operates.

ON TOP OF THAT, these two diptwits are “being considered” (yeah right, the ink was drying on their contracts) and in fact, as this news report, as in others, reveals, were actually being filmed the entire day before they made their White House entrance getting ready for their “break in” BY BRAVO as they were getting ready for the escapade, which makes this even MORE FISHY) for the “reality show” in question and sure enough, there was Bravo, wading right into the middle of the Brew ha ha as soon as the news even BROKE saying they were going to run with this.

Come on folks.  Wake up.  You don’t need to have worked in TV to know that these things don’t happen “by accident.”  Or “coincidence.”

UH UH.  Trust me, if you still hold on to that naive thought, try a tin foil hat to keep the solar rays from Mars out.  Works ocassionally (like once in a blue moon), and the neighbors only look at you funny most of the time.

The fact is that network channels DON’T operate like that.

Plus, if the White House is so worried about “terrorists” that we are spending an absolute fortune to literally bleed this country dry to go fight them in lands far, far away, suspend our civil liberties at home, not to mention beats up a gimp (me) at a TOWN HALL MEETING ON HEALTHCARE IN NEW YORK CITY, for merely telling the meeting organizer that his facts were incorrect (I was right, he was wrong) resulting in an NYPD police report documenting CRIMINAL ASSAULT AND BATTERY that the Federal Justice Department has yet to investigate and keeps hanging up on me, and the White House is “embarrassed” about THIS incident, and “considering” dropping charges all the while making noises about “felony acts”, which they will never do anything about, with of course the conservative news channels like Fox talking about things like “domestic terrorist threats” (trust me it will never get that far and the White House knows that too much embarressing stuff will come out)  to the point of not even discussing to date forbidding those pictures from airing on the internet “discovering” the perps as it was put on the internet (exactly who was doing any investigating in the first place or why, or knew where to look, (which raises even more disturbing questions about say FISA and electronic monitoring) or lack of any threats from the White House about say putting a ban on any TV network from airing the misadventures of those two, in either still pictures, taking them down from the “perp’s” webpage, or forbidding the news from carrying the video of the event, especially given the teeth baring fights the White House is engaging in with Fox right now, and Mrs. Obama is making such a big deal about an unflattering picture of her showing up on a Google search (and Google actually backing off and removing it) are you KIDDING ME?

This was a set up folks.

FROM THE INSIDE.

If you STILL think that this was an “accident” or a “prank” by two idiots seeking their 15 minutes of fame, and not a deliberate distraction created by say Axelturf/Rahmbo/Michelle and Obama to give fairly uneducated, definately politically and visually if not unprepared for this kind of sophisticated propoganda machine – i.e. supposedly what the White House will and is prepared to do, dollars to doughnuts, which is paint or create one way or another, as a paternalistic, noblesse oblige, drop all charges (if any are even pressed) way to let middle Americans have an “inside” albeit pretty low brow if you ask me, voyeuristic peek at a “high society White House event,” as well as to divert mainstream America’s attention from what Obama is about to do next week, what do you think they were doing?

Embarressing themselves on purpose?

I mean who is the demographic for Real American Housewives….?

Martians?

Bravo has some GREAT shows….but that one ….I can’t stand.

Nevertheless, this was a set up. And a distraction.  As well as convenient propoganda.

Call me paranoid, call me stupid, call me anything you want, but I’ve seen this show before. It’s a rerun, if not in content, then in purpose.

It’s called propoganda, and distraction, you dumb morons at the White House, who think you are so much more clever than the rest of us.

And welcome to the world of Obama manipulation mind f*cks.

SNAP.

That’s the sound of a little Obama rat who’s been figuratively caught in a Marguerite rat death trap.  It’s little toes are still wiggling.   And it’s tail is still twitching.   I hope it suffers a long,  slow and agonizing painful death.

I’m not a sadist, by the way, and I love animals. Even rodents.   In fact I have a mouse in part time residence in my studio apartment.  We cohabitate rather well. His name is Newton.  He has good manners and there is mutual respect.  So please, no PETA threats for that last analogy.

The above latter reference was a metaphorical literary parallel to display my disgust with this presidency.

I know this MF, very well.  And have been calling him and his mindset accurately, ever since the appointment of Emmanuel.

Which was the first sign that something was going seriously wrong.  Not that I didn’t have some niggling doubts during the campaign last year.

FISA and throwing out the promise to stick with public financing were understandable.  Or at least that is what I told myself.  And excused Obama for it.  I heard it from sources I still have on the Hill that Obama’s arm was twisted on the FISA legislation.  And I know damned well how deep the RNC’s pockets are.  I was willing to forgive him that too.

And there were other little things too that were vaguely disturbing.

But I was also very distracted last year.  So I paid them no attention. No candidate is ever perfect.  And look at what the alternatives were.  Especially after Edwards dropped out.  And look at what happened there.  And I still think that HE was also set up in California.  By the same team who brought us THIS scenario.  The fingerprints seem to match rather well.

I told you, after the election, I’ve done some investigating, partly in just writing these blogs, and especially given the way I’ve been treated.  And what I’m seeing.  And I REALLY don’t like what is going on.   Which is the understatement of the year.

And I mean I was REALLY DISTRACTED last year.  Like developing a life changing disability thanks to my ex employer, filing an EEOC case against a very big bank and dealing with a few other battles of equal shall we say “intensity.”  While fighting for literal economic survival.  Which I still am.

But this time, it’s the White House I’m directly fighting.  THIS ONE.  Among other Goliaths, essentially on my own and penniless because the god damned government has taken it all all away.  And destroyed my life in the process.  As in obliterate.  And beat me up on top of that.

So I missed things I wouldn’t normally have done during the election.  Or explained them away.  As I never would have done otherwise.  I’ve worked in national politics for too long.  I know DC like the back of my hand.  It’s not a boast.  It’s what happens when you waste your youth in national politics in DC.

So if 2008 had been a normal year, I would have been a little more suspicious.  Not to mention done my homework.  And a little less elated upon election day.  With far fewer hopes.  And frankly, far less pissed off now.

But 515 campaign promises gone south in less than ten months Obama has been in office and now this?

With Obama “selling” the escalation of Afghanistan next week to “his base?” as one reporter put it.  Are they nuts?

And the blood on the pavement still not dry from Fort Hood?

Folks, you’ve got to be FUCKING KIDDING.

This was arranged propoganda.  Called a distraction. For a reason.

Call me nuts.

Call me ANY name in the book all you want.   But been there, done that, seen it before.

You want reality TV?

Tell the kids in Afghanistan to start sending their cell phone pictures and videos via wireless internet of what is really going on on a daily basis to the world via any other service EXCEPT YOU TUBE (they lose their intellectual property rights).   G3 phones shoot video clips you can send via email and you can put right on your website.

If the White House really wants to play this stupid game, we can give them REALITY TV they will never forget.  IN THEIR FACE.  That trust me, will be far more embarressing and “dangerous” to the Obama presidency because of his lying BS than any suburban couple who wanted their 15 minutes of fame. And apparently coordinated with both the White House and a network to get it.

And dollars to doughnuts somebody at the White House new media department, along with someone higher up, struck a bargain with Bravo to cook this whole thing up to begin with.

You want reality TV folks, it’s time we started watching the channel where the action is really happening.

Instead of being deliberately distracted.

Like the dog….you know…the oldest trick in the book to fool the stupid pooch?  Fake throw the stick and watch ol’ Spot run half way across the yard  before he turns around and says ‘huh?’  And they you really throw the stick….the other way.

There is a channel of reality TV that America should be watching.  Several of them in fact.  One is Channel Afghanistan.   And don’t forget Channel Iraq.  One is Channel Wall Street.  One is Channel Foreclosures and Evictions.  One is the Rising Tide of Jobs Lost & Ain’t Coming Back.  One is Channel Global Warming.

And I’m just getting started.  I’m a damned network….a whole series of programming.

But the fact is that Bravo, not to mention the rest of mainstream corporate TV, doesn’t cover those shows.  Although maybe it should start.

And the fact that I also have a proposal that is widely circulated AT the White House as well as key cabinet level offices mentioning a reality Bravo show tie in for one of MY projects, so far both conspicuously ignored, and has gotten me beaten up, physically intimidated, threatened in writing, my civil rights violated, and of course completely blacklisted, BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING THE WHITE HOUSE, is also rather interesting.  Especially in that this is ANOTHER idea that they’ve stolen from me.  While my phone remains strangely silent on that proposal.

So for all these reasons folks,  to believe anything but “sucker, you’ve been had,” is to be drinking what is known as Kool Aide.

And look at what happened to them.

The ones in Guyana, and the ones here, if you don’t WAKE UP.

Happy Turkey Day Folks.  A day or so late.  Consider these the leftovers.

Do you want to be the Turkey for NEXT YEAR’s date?  Or the one who gets excused from that fate?

Time to start doing some waking up.  If you haven’t already.

In other words, flip the dial.  Turn the switch.  Tune it out.  If not TURN CHANNEL OBAMA OFF ALTOGETHER.

And organize for REAL CHANGE we believe in.

Otherwise, you will be turkeys, if not dinner, for somebody, by this time next year.  With NOTHING to be thankful for.

And that’s a reality that probably nobody will even bother filming.

Unless of course you plan on setting yourself on fire outside the White House gates.  And even then they’ll probably call you a Tibetan terrorist, so I wouldn’t recommend it.  Bravo will be off filming Virginia Housewives II, Michelle will be doing some other Muppets does Hazmat on the White House Lawn Experiment, and Barack, well, I’m sure he’ll be bombing Iran by then.  Which although I didn’t include it on the map, is also conveniently the neighbor immediately to the left of what country?

Afghanistan.

WHAT A COINCIDENCE.  Right?

And we’ll all be out of work, don’t worry.

Reality Show “White House Break In” my ass.

Even that’s been done before (remember NIXON) by a White House who thinks it’s so brilliant everything it does is, as rightly mocked by a very cynical reporter the other day, as “unprecedented” and “original” and of course never done before, when it’s clearly old hat.

With mildew growing on it.

Even this little stunt.  Ever heard of Watergate?

How stupid does Obama really think Americans are?  Or how brilliant, in comparison to the rest of the world does he think he is?

That’s the really scary thing, isn’t it?   Because people carried away with their own ideas of how brilliant they are usually make the biggest mistakes.  I learned long ago that the definition of stupidity was self professed brilliance.  See Exhibit A in the Oval Office.

And we don’t need any more stupid and entirely avoidable “oops.”  Which weren’t really, although they are of course, being played that way.  Now.  However, if you recall even just ten months ago, this administration has been continually warned DO NOT ENTER.  DANGER.  And then promptly blacklisted, if not beaten up, even those who offer constructive criticism.  While breaking CRIMINAL LAW, not to mention civil rights, to do it.

Unfortunately we’re about to get even more of them.

Escalation in Afghanistan is just the latest in a line of very avoidable and so far disastrous Waterloos.

You want to watch Reality TV?

Tell the White House to go jump in a lake and send NO to the War emails to all your elected reps, local, state and federal.  Not to mention the White House.

And start getting off your asses and doing something about it.  Plus of course the other issues Obama’s screwing up.

You shouldn’t be watching TV anyway. There’s far too much to do, and we don’t need any more couch potatoes.

So turn off the dial and turn up the heat.  And get off your asses and start go kicking some.

Unless you’d prefer to start selecting what kind of stuffing you’d like to be accessorized with as next year’s turkey.  I hear cranberry sauce is a nice condiment.

Your choice, Pilgrims.  Now or never.

As for me and Tonto, well, we’re heading out, as fast as we can, from this shit eating, one horse country.

Gee up, boy.  Let’s get going.

Because the natives of this rinky dink Banana Republic are all bloodthirsty, stupid, cannibals, ignorant and or uneducated, deaf, oblivious, will not learn whatever you do, say or write, and as a result are therefore just as dangerous as the murderous leaders they “elect.”

Or asleep.  What is the difference?

Because if they accept it, it means the White House has won.

And Democracy?

RIP.  So long buddy.  Nice knowing ya.

“Interesting governing and social experiment,” I can hear the social anthropologists of say two millenium into the future, “but not to be wasted on such idiotic neanderthal primitives.”

And if you have any doubts about MY perspective on looking back and analyzing the perspective of cultures long ago, my other paternal uncle began unlocking the secrets and translating The Dead Sea Scrolls in his book on the subject, The Dead Sea Scriptures.  A document created by another society ruled by decidedly undemocratic Kings and Queens, that included slavery (who do you think built the Pyramids) and went extinct because of its own dead weight and unsustainable policies.

You want the Constitution to be compared to the Dead Sea Scrolls?  Keep going America.  Because that’s where we’re headed.

Won’t that be a fun “Reality TV” show.  That trust me, you won’t have the luxury of watching from the comfort of your lazy boy recliner on your spanking new HDTV.  Because you won’t be around  to see it.

BREAKING UPDATE:   I KNEW THERE WAS MORE TO THIS STORY THAN MET THE EYE.

BEEN AROUND THE SMELL OF THE POTOMOC TOO LONG NOT TO HAVE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE.  TOLD YOU, ALL YE UNBELIEVERS.  THIS IS A SETUP.   BLAME THE FART ON THE DOG IN THE LIVING ROOM.  NOT THE ONE THAT DELT IT.

BREAKING UPDATE II:  BLOG POSTING JUST MADE LAW.COM!  YEE HA!  UNDER A SPONSORED POSTING…..BY PEPSI.   Hmmmm that wouldn’t lend cred to any of my theories now, would it?  Like say the picture of our gatecrashers with the head of India Pepsico?  NAH….nothing to do with it…..naturally.  Pure coincidence.  That’s the way things ALWAYS HAPPEN IN DC.  Right?

BREAKING UPDATE III:  SAY IT AIN’T SO!!!!! NEWSFLASH

Well apparently, the “gatecrashers” at the White House weren’t such “strangers at the ball” after all…and my original suspicions WERE CORRECT.

It appears that Mr. Obama’s friendship with the Saladi’s stretches back about five years, and look who is gathered together here (and the date) although Ms. Saladi’s credentials are a bit different than recently advertised in DC.  I guess everyone stretches the truth in Mr. Obama’s world.   But then again, she’s not THE PRESIDENT.

HMMMMM.  What was that again about AN INSIDE JOB?

Mr. Obama, I believe you need some, um “plumbers” was the word Mr. Nixon used.  Or at least an ORIGINAL EXCUSE FOR A LIE. SINCE EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DO IS UNPRECEDENTED.

Yeah, I guess this one kind of takes the cake, doesn’t it?

But please don’t blame the Secret Service.  I told you they would take the fall after all.  Even if they weren’t responsible.

OR WHY DON’T YOU JUST STOP LYING, PERIOD?  AND JUST TELL US THE WHOLE DAMNED TRUTH.

AS THEY SAY, A PICTURE SAYS A THOUSAND WORDS.  AND THIS ONE IS RATHER DAMNING.  AND I’D SAY IS A DAMNED BIG LIE-BRARY.

J’ACCUSE, MONSIEUR.  CAUGHT IN THAT RAT TRAP INDEED.  I THINK THE TAIL MIGHT STILL BE WIGGLING A BIT.

SNAP, SNAP.

Caught in your own damned trap.

Did  you really think nobody would find THIS PICTURE?  I KNOW IT IS FIVE YEARS OLD, DRESSED UP FOR AN EVENT LAST YEAR, BUT THE INTERNET HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LOT LONGER THAN THAT….MR IT PRESIDENT..

OOPS.  What’s the Missus going to say now?

Have a Kobe handy?

Or was she in on the act too?  ‘Cause last I heard she was pissed.  But then so again, rumor had it you were too.  Or was THAT ALL an act?

Jesus.  They both lie 24/7.  Where is the TRUTH & HOPE WE CAN BELIEVE IN CHANNEL?  I THINK IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE.

Congress Didn’t Just Sell Out Women, It Raped Them

This blog posting is a response to the EXCELLENT article on the front page of Salon, but was too long for a real response, so I thought I would write a blog of my own instead.

Because I HAVE ALOT TO SAY ON THE SUBJECT.

And the author is completely correct.  Women have just been sold out in DC.

But so has every American.

So this is also a call to action.  Because I’m really tired of what is going on.  And Americans sitting back and doing NOTHING.

This whole healthcare bill is an obscenity.  And it began with that appalling secret deal with the pharma companies negotiated from the White House itself.

Obama gave up the right to negotiate prices for medicine, which is obscene, when we get discounts for tanks, opposes free needle exchanges in the face of a global AIDS pandemic, a Chrystal Meth epidemic and a Hepititis C crisis (although his VA is doing a great job of spreading both diseases to our vets, twenty thousand of whom contracted both HIV and Hepatitis C through recieving colonoscopies via unsteralized equipment that was only cleaned ONCE A DAY, rather than after each procedure, for WHICH THERE IS NO EXCUSE, since the program was run by a guy from John’s Hopkins which is one of the leading AIDS research programs in the country, and this has been basic medical procedure for such things for at least a quarter of a century) while our dickhead in chief praised the “great care” we give to our vets, and delayed disability benefits to disabled vets but gave a fourteen million dollar bonus to the perps.

Those poor souls infected by the way, have a lifespan of about five years, thanks to the deadliness of the diseases themselves, not to mention the toxicity of the medicines used to treat them, so in that one act of stupidity alone, the VA just created half the casualty rate OF THE ENTIRE VIETNAM WAR.  FOR WHICH THE IDIOT IN CHIEF JUST GAVE THEM A BONUS.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HIM?

It’s like Wall Street and the pharma industry.

Fuck up, ruin lives, and kill people, and we’ll pay you extra money.

Is that what they are teaching at Harvard these days?   How to screw the planet and kill people for a bonus and a profit?

Not to mention our esteemed Messiah in Chief has a wife who came within a hair’s breath of being fined for patient dumping in Chicago, while getting a $200K raise to do it (approved by Valerie Jarret, supposedly the “other half of Obama’s brain” ).

I hate to think what is on the other half.

Jarrett by the way, was also was removed by court order for her appalling mismanagement of some of the worst slums in Chicago, right before she moved on to healthcare, if you can call it that, (although she managed, somehow to keep the proceeds of said illegal activities to send her daughter to Harvard).

Boy, when they say Justice is blind in this country, they really do mean it, don’t they?

And then there’s Mrs. Obama’s HAZMAT activities on the White House Lawn that she tried to pass off as caviar, when a far better, more inclusive and long ignored proposal submitted by me that actually included SOIL TESTING PLUS HYDRO, with the research already done to the point of the soil scientists in place to do the organic certification for the pilot (plus HYDRO, and a lot of other things like green energy generation, greened housing, and job creation for both the able bodied and PWDS for years) not to mention which both saves the taxpayers a great deal of money (like upon national rollout the entire national deficit annually), and even MAKES THE GOVERNMENT A GREAT DEAL OF IT, and of course a meeting already conducted with my Rep. in Congress, also the head of the SBA Committee in Congress, Nydia Velasquez, who’s district the pilot is in, has been sitting avoided and ignored in the White House since the inauguration.

Oh, and outfits like the USDA, even under BUSH (and I’m a Democrat), DoD (and I spent the majority of my time in DC kicking their asses) and a small and uninfluential outfit called the United Nations,  have all told me that this was WAY ahead of anything that they’d ever seen on multiple fronts.  And gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up.  Including on fronts like cleantech, emergency management, environmentally clean energy production, green building management, smart grid design, emergency preparedness, local organic food, pharma and fuel production, transportation, green refueling infrastructure, nanotech, and providing jobs for both the able bodied and even People with Disabilities.  Even some of the most complicated to treat that no program exists to deal with and manage exists for today.  Even at the leading agency in the country for TBI.

And provides excellent backup for our failing public education system NOW.  Not to mention scholarship money.  Plus can be duplicated anywhere.  And can help say private homeowners help save their mortgages, too.

So naturally it makes sense that a plan like this would be ignored for so long at the White House.

Because I’m a woman, biologically inferior, and don’t know what I’m talking about.

I guess Brad Pitt’s project is much better, and he deserves to be invited to the Oval Office instead, because he’s a White rich guy movie star, and naturally his project is better by dint of biological superiority, even though his project isn’t as good, much less comprehensive than mine, doesn’t create anything except construction jobs, and even BREAKS MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.

And then there’s Larry Summers who was even FIRED from Harvard for his appallingly sexist comments about women’s aptitude in economics (in the face of the wonderful news of the FIRST WOMAN EVER TO WIN A NOBEL FOR ECONOMICS THIS YEAR, although I don’t hear any comments of praise coming from either the White House or Congress on THAT TOPIC) who certainly deserved the prize for her work, unlike say, others in Mr. Summer’s immediate vicinity at 1600 Penn.

Oops.  I guess that comment makes me a “terrorist” in the eyes of the DNC.

They can shove it. Where the sun don’t shine. And without the lube.

I couldn’t care less about what they think.  I care more about the suffering they’ve just caused with that stinking bill. NOT TO MENTION THEIR OTHER APPALLING ACTIVITIES SO FAR THIS YEAR.  I THINK THEY ARE ALL DISGUSTING.  EVEN IF THEY ARE WOMEN IN CONGRESS WHO VOTED FOR THAT AWFUL  HEALTHCARE BILL.

So I’m ringing the alarm, like Paul Revere.  It’s time to go to the trenches.

I guess Mr. Obama didn’t care about the sexist behavior by his disgustingly corrupt, whore of Wall Street, chief economics advisor, Mr. Summers. Excuse the pun.  Or Mr. Geithner for that matter. Not to mention his pitbull, and bully, Chief of Staff, Rambo.  But I’ve known many men who’ve sold themselves for sex as well as other things too.  Men can and often are whores.  And it appears that most if not all of our political elite in DC, not to mention their staffs have thrown their morals out the window.

Not to mention asskissing is a professional occupation, honed to an art by those who stay around for a long time in DC, to become labeled “insiders.”

You start by flushing all of your ethics down the toilet.  And then become the parrot of whoever you work for.

There are few who have the guts to say “the Emperor wears no clothes.”

I DO.

That is just one of the reasons I left the snakepit on the Potomac.

And the political elite of this country are crushing Democracy under their feet, not to mention bleeding America to death.

And then there is Mr. Obama’s behavior himself who has also created a “boy’s club” in the White House as most of you know.  And an administration with no white women in their thirties or forties in any leading roles in either the White House or Cabinet positions.

THAT IS RACIST.

Particularly with a plethora of plenty of white men of the same age present.  I should think that at least ONE WHITE FEMALE COULD HAVE BEEN SUBSTITUTED INSTEAD.

It’s called DIVERSITY.

And I’m not even going to talk about the fact that there is only one gimp on staff at the White House.  Who deals with disability issues on a part time basis.  Who are TWENTY PERCENT OF THE POPULATION.  And have huge and unsolved issues, that this administration hasn’t even begun to deal with.

I mean Donovan’s track record for example is so awful that what he left in his wake in New York City, despite the crap the administration fed to the media about his supposed “innovation” in housing, is the worst housing crisis in the city since the Great Depression.  That has led to a reduction in affordable housing in the thousands of units.  And the luxury condos that he built and that he and Bloomberg, not to mention the Obama administration, passed off as “innovative thinking” in rethinking housing, now stand empty because nobody can afford them, while the city’s homeless shelters now are overflowing.

That’s REALLY INNOVATIVE, don’t you think?

And it costs taxpayers more than $15,000 more per bed per year,  than the rent on my unrent regulated studio walkup apartment in the cheapest part of the city to maintain each shelter bed.  Or to put the real figure on it for you, it costs the taxpayer $37,000 per city shelter bed, per year, to maintain.  That the Mayor now wants to charge rent for.   That public assistance, also called welfare, doesn’t even cover.

And that’s just one of Mr. Obama’s great White Male cabinet picks.  Who has also directly discriminated AGAINST ME as Secretary of HUD.  But I’ll get back to that later.

But naturally Mr. Donovan was the best choice for Secretary of HUD, because women are biologically inferior.  Right?  And he’s got such a great track record.  Plus of course, he went to Harvard.

It’s time women started making their voices heard in DC, like I started doing at the age of 23, and doing a little “whup ass” as they say in some parts of the world.

Or KICKING ASS, to be more direct.

And that is coming from the direct descendant of one of the first two women who ever fought on the front lines AS SOLDIERS IN COMBAT in any U.S. war in history.  Even though women are still discriminated against at DOD.  But that incident I’m referring to would be in a little dustup called the Battle of King’s Mountain.  Which for all you U.S. History Buffs out there should know, is the turning point of THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR.

WHAT THE HELL ARE WE WAITING FOR?

I didn’t vote for Bush in Black Face.  And I’m fighting back.  What are you doing?  Ever heard of Boadacia?  Queen Elizabeth I?  Florence Nightingale?  The Suffragettes?  Henrietta Barnett?  Jane Addams?  Ellen Craft?  These are the women who made a difference. IN YOUR LIVES.

YOU CAN TOO.

Whoever you are.  Wherever you are.

And even though I don’t have a dime to my name these days, and I’ve always been a gimp, and I’ve never been rich, although related to very old money, although I didn’t know I was a gimp until a couple of years ago, but now I’ve got TWO disabilities, one visible, thanks to the bastards who illegally fired me a couple of years ago and ruined my life, so I get called retard to my face, am in a mound of crap, facing law suits and fights with major federal, state and even city agencies left, right and center, not to mention the White House itself, plus a multinational corporation that illegally fired me, I AM FIGHTING BACK.

AND I HAVE SINCE I WAS VERY YOUNG.

WHY AREN’T YOU?

But this time there is far more at stake.  We are in the worst economic shape we’ve ever been in.  And this time it’s a lying and corrupt DEMOCRAT in the White House who promised change, with an equally corrupt Democratic majority in Congress, who are screwing us over and aren’t doing jack.

And in fact making it worse.  And seem completely oblivious to the problem, if not deliberately exacerbating it for their own gain.

It’s time American women stood up, and said,  excuse the French, FUCK OFF. Actually, we don’t need to make any excuses.  Rambo uses that language all the time.  WE CAN USE IT TOO.  AND IF THERE ANY OBJECTIONS, THAT’S A VIOLATION OF TITLE VII.

See, you have to know how to use the law.  No double standards any more.  Not to mention time for equal pay and rights.  NOW.

WE HAVE TO SAY ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT.

THIS IS NOT THE CHANGE THAT WE VOTED FOR.

I certainly am.’Cause we ‘ain’t got it.

And if you want to see what I’m doing about it, or at least part of what I’m doing, you can check out my website in progress and under construction at http://myblog-thatgoeswithoutspeaking.com.  The tabs are where the action is right now.  Again, it’s still rough and as mentioned, in construction, so go easy on me.  And I don’t know everything.  Who does?  It’s the first website I’ve built myself, although I’ve designed them before (starting in 1996), and I’m teaching myself coding as I go.  You do what you have to do, right?  Necessity is the mother of invention.

I’ve always heard that’s the American way.  And the heart of entrepreneurialism.

I started changing state policy at the age of 19, and national policy in DC at the age of 23.  And although I’m a Democrat, I kicked the Clinton White House’s ass, along with DoD, the Department of Interior, and the State of Idaho, into the stratosphere at the age of 27, in what would have been one of the largest illegal land deals in the history of the United States in 1994. Almost single handedly.

Not to mention got commendations for my work and understanding of Constitutional law, at the age of 23, from a U.S. Supreme Court Judge by the name of Mr. Brennan.  Maybe you’ve heard of him?

And as they say in academia, in a rather ironic way, “those who can’t do, teach.”

Not that I don’t have respect for Mr. Tribe, but my articles for the ACLU’s national newsletter, which I started writing at the age of 22, while say not as “prestigious” as the Harvard Law Review, went to a very large audience which was at least as large and read by the same audience as the above publication.

Not to mention I didn’t have legacy, and minority advantages to entrance to Harvard, plus a grandmother who worked at a bank to cosign my loans to EVEN THINK about going to Harvard Law.  In fact my first boss AT the legislative offices at the ACLU on Capitol Hill – a job I got on my own – and my boss was the father of the current news director at ABC News in DC, was also the man, for those in the know, originally suspected for leaking the Pentagon Papers before Daniel Ellsberg admitted that he did, and told me that I “didn’t deserve” to go to Harvard Law, despite the fact that I had just changed state policy at the age of 19, because I didn’t go to an Ivy League undergrad, purely because of economic circumstances.

Even though UNC Chapel Hill is also called “the public Ivy.”  And I skipped my first two years.  As in tested out of them.  And graduated in three.  Just because I changed my major.  And I’d just kicked the ass of one of the most powerful Republican Senators on Capitol Hill, while risking my academic scholarship and my life to do it.  A man by the name of Senator Jesse Helms.  Or as we called him, Senator No.  Who was at the time, the ranking Republican and Chair of the Senate Foriegn Relations Committee from North Carolina and a leading Republican proponent of what was called “Constructive Engagement”, not to mention racist asshole, who believed that keeping black people in slavery in South Africa, in a system called Apartheid, while American corporations (and alot of university and state scholarship and pension funds profited off of it) was the right thing to do.

Some of us thought otherwise.  And put our scholarships, and our lives on the line to change things.

I guess that makes me unworthy, huh.  Because naturally being a woman, with no economic opportunity, makes you naturally unfit, despite the accomplishments you’ve already achieved, (called meritocracy, not elitism and sexism) to have the opportunity to go to Harvard.  Right?

It’s all about money and connections and being male, in America these days.  And going to the right schools.  Meritocracy is dead.

Welcome to sexism and elitism on the so-called Left and in the Democratic Party.  Welcome to sexism and elitism in “Democratic” Washington which hasn’t changed in over twenty years.

And welcome to my life.

Nevertheless, MY accomplishments I think at least match those of the current occupant of the Oval Office.  IF NOT OUTMATCH IT.

Yet Obama is not only ignoring me and my proposal to create jobs, and very quickly, along with two of my former undergraduate classmates at UNC, who now work at the sexist and racist and most definately elitist’s “Massah’s House” (Cassandra Butts, who went to Harvard Law with Obama) and Melody Barnes, along with the late and unmissed Van Jones, and Kareem Dale, who also got the proposal, but Obama’s goons for America beat me up (with an NYPD report to prove criminal assault and battery to prove it plus a witness to testify in court) at a town hall meeting on healthcare organized by Organizing for America this August, in New York City, that the White House, Pelosi’s office and the Federal Justice Department are refusing to investigate.  While the Federal EEOC has sat on my illegal termination case for MORE THAN TWO YEARS.

Yes, I know, Bush cut the agency to shreds.  But I’m suffering.  BADLY.  And have had now had to deal with a hell of a lot of other discrimination as a result too. From so many directions my head is spinning.  While developing a life changing second disability that affects the first.  Neither of which, anybody knows anything about, much less how to treat.  And certainy do not accept patients on Medicaid.   Which I only just got.

I’ll never wake up again another day in my life without pain.   And I’ll never get hired by anyone ever again.  I get called “retard” in public these days thanks to disability number 2.

I’m 42 years old.

Isn’t that fucking funny?  Hysterical even?

And you know what?  If they can bail out the goddamned banks, they can bail out the people too.

I guess that doesn’t occur to the millionaires making the decisions in Congress, who just gave themselves a raise.  Or Obama for that matter, who, on top of his $400K salary a year, is still making millions off of his books.  While freezing the salaries of his staff.  Although they are hardly hurting.  At least the top folks.  And at least they all have a job.  And healthcare.

Start boycotting the bastard if you want to send a message to the asshole.  Stop buying his books.  Maybe he’ll get the message.  Because he hasn’t done a damned thing to regulate the banks.  Ten million PRIME mortgages are set to go belly up next year.  According to “established” read MALE economists, the REAL unemployment rate is twenty percent. NOW.  And it’s going to get worse.  The real unemployment rate is actually much larger than that, I’ll tell you why later.  And there is NO EXCUSE FOR THAT because Obama and Co. were repeatedly warned, if you remember that the domestic bailout was too small.

And especially because the people that caused this mess in the first place, are the ones who are getting rewarded.  At our expense.  And they are still, in the wonderful expression of Paul Krugman, still “walking Zombies.”

Yet who do you think is picking up the repos for cheap, rather than using that money to keep people in their homes instead of letting the Revenge of the Zombies throw people out on the street at the taxpayer’s expense?

The Easter Bunny?

And don’t you think there’s something very WRONG WITH THAT?

AS IN FUCKED UP?

While the rest of us are being told to go suck on it.

And that is not acceptible.

I have been without a paying job for close to three years at this point, am financially ruined, am on the verge of homelessness myself, went without healthcare at all for a very serious condition as I developed another disability that the assholes I worked for and then illegally fired me created thanks to their illegal behavior went untreated because I couldn’t afford $800 a month in Cobra for close to two years.

And thanks to our appalling healthcare policies in this country, which this stupid bill does not fix, or at least not to my knowledge, you have to eviscerate your 401k to even qualify for Medicaid, which is really smart public policy, isn’t it,  when social security is set to go bust, right when I’m set to retire.  And Medicaid doesn’t cover things like rare conditions like mine.

Have you ever heard of an arachnoid cyst?  Or dystonia?

Neither have the idiot doctors who only take Medicaid.

I’ve had to do all the research on my own.

And guess what the best medication for both are?

Marijuana.

Moment of shock.

You see the endocannabinoid system of the brain and it’s stimulation is one of the next hot areas in neuroscience.  I know those are big and multisyllabic words that girls aren’t supposed to know, much less understand, spell, pronounce or get, right?

Guess what?  I do.

And just like Ol’ Abe, I taught myself.  Even though he was a guy, girls can do things like that too.

And guess what drug does it best?

You guessed it.

The evil weed.

For a history of our stupid policies on the topic in this country, check out my last blog on the topic here.

Even Israel, not exactly a wild and crazy hippy dippy country (actually as you know they are a right of center government) already has a drug on the market that uses several of the over three hundred chemicals in marijuana plant to treat TBI (traumatic brain injury), which of course the FDA bans from import to this country.

Although even though the FDA is banning the Israeli drug from import in the face of a rising tide of even vets who desperately need it, although there are alot of civilians who also suffer from the condition, since there is no other drug to treat the situation, even they realize something which our stupid President, per his appallingly misinformed and ignorant comments on the matter, are actually testing, NOW, along with Marinol,  as we speak, to treat a variety of neurological diseases.

Including mine.

And I finally managed to convince my doctors to allow me to take.

AND IT WORKS. And is the ONLY ONE THAT DOES.

But only after suffering through absolute agony and allergic reactions of the “convention wisdom” in other words the bought off doctors on the payroll of hospitals of pharma companies who pay them to push drugs that the pharma companies pay them off to prescribe.

And then ONLY after I got a letter from a very kind doc (A FEMALE NEUROLOGIST, IMAGINE THAT) running one of the trials, who said I was a perfect candidate for the trial she was running, but I wasn’t in the city the trial was located in.

So now I take Marinol and cost you a fortune, because of a government created monopoly of one company that makes a non generic drug, which again, the government won’t even allow to go generic, thus at least saving some of the cost, but ensuring the drug makers are making a FORTUNE, when legalizing pot would be much cheaper instead.  Not to mention saving money for a government swimming in red ink, and a source of green jobs, is a high dollar cash crop, can be grown anywhere, legalizing pot is widely popular with the American people, and could be used for alot of other things as well.  From clothing to clean fuel.

And what I’m saying isn’t illegal.  The damned FDA is using our TAX DOLLARS TO TEST IT as medicine.  I AM LEGALLY BEING PRESCRIBED IT’s FAKE SUBSTITUTE.  However, in California, the FDA is using the real thing in it’s trials while the DEA is still busting pot pharmacies, despite Obama’s promise to stop the practice.

Why?

USING YOUR TAX MONEY TO DO BOTH.

Does any of this make ANY SENSE?

But what would I know?  I’m just a dumb gimp girl.   Please clue me in if any of you geniuses figure it out.  Male, female or Martian.

The last time the subject of legalizing pot came up for a vote in New York City, the city council almost legalized it, and lost by one vote, because they don’t know where to grow it.  I do.  And my plan spells it out.  Not to mention does things like provide much needed jobs for a city that is suffering right now and diversifies the economy.  But of course the Mayor doesn’t like me either because I caught him breaking the law last year.  And big, rich, powerful politicians don’t like it when they are called on their illegal shit.  Even when listening to me, and flying above board would actually make them wildly popular, save the city and state alot of money, (and make alot for it too) and transform the Mayor’s image.

Into say a human being, who cares for his constituents, instead of an aloof asshole, perhaps?  Who bought his latest election, as everyone knows.  That’s not Democracy.  That’s called Oligarchy.  If not worse.

But hey, what the hell do I know about economics?   If not politics.  I’m just a stupid woman.  Right?

Because I’ve got tits, (and nice ones at that, thanks all the same) and my biology makes me naturally inferior, especially ON THE SUBJECT OF ECONOMICS.  Right Summers?  SEE THE WINNER OF THIS YEAR’S NOBEL IN ECONOMICS.  AND HER GENDER, YOU SEXIST ASSHOLE.

I think a public apology from HIS direction might be in order, don’t you women of America?   And that we demand it now?

ON TOP OF THAT, when Obama signed the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act earlier this year, which of course contained the Owyhee Canyonlands, that piece of land I saved at the age of 27, when Obama hadn’t even gotten into Harvard yet, much less run for public office at the STATE LEVEL, who did they invite to the White House for the signing of the bill?  A White Boy instead.  Who had nothing to do with the writing or passage of the legislation, but was the son of a dead movie star instead.

I guess they think his daddy was more famous than my relatives.  And he’s a White guy, so he’s biologically superior, and deserved to be there more than I did after all, right Summers?

No matter MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THAT BILL.

Or perhaps my relatives weren’t as famous?

Or had disabilities?

THINK AGAIN.

AND WRONG ON ALL COUNTS.

My relatives include an OBE (as in FEMALE ORDER OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE MEDAL WINNER), who discovered an insignificant and completely non iconic woman named Marilyn Monroe, and was the FIRST FEMALE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR MAGNUM, my father had a one man show in MoMa, designed Parker Brother’s logo and had a syndicated Column for years out of the Chicago Tribune.   My mother is the only children’s book author and illustrator to have won best children’s book of the year award in THREE COUNTRIES, including this one, the Caldecott Medal in the US in 1971, for A Story A Story, the FIRST children’s book EVER PUBLISHED IN THE U.S. to feature a BLACK GOD.

OOOOPS.  I guess that’s a faux pas for the White House Social Secretary.  Especially in the age of the first BLACK PRESIDENT.  Especially since he likes to think of himself as the Messiah for his supposed “brilliance” about everything when he’s been so wrong consistently.

It’s certainly insulting to me.  If not more than that.  And really pissed me off.  What was it again about meritocracy?  Or was that HYPOCRACY?  IF NOT BLATENT SEXISM AND STAR FUCKING ruling the day.

Except Chris Reeves will never be as famous as my relatives.  So you even fucked that up.

OOOPS.

Isn’t it fun to fuck with a gimp?  Especially when you’ve really pissed her off.  Not to mention beaten her up and run right over her rights.  With a tracker trailer.  And just about every one of them at this point.

And I expect some action. If not genuflection.

ASAP.

Because unlike some people I intend to really spread the wealth around.

One of my paternal uncles is the late Peter Drucker, the so-called Father of Management.  Who reorganized GM the first time around (which my proposal also includes plans for, and of course I do know alot about cars, even though, yes I’m a girl,  especially ones made at GM, but I guess a white guy with no admitted knowledge about cars and guilty of illegal wiretapping at his previous gig, although given a get out jail free card by Congress, was a better choice for the job, right?)

Even though plans for reorganizing and greening GM are also included in that long ignored proposal of mine at the White House.

Because MEN ARE NATURALLY, BIOLOGICALLY SUPERIOR. RIGHT?

And my other paternal uncle  translated the Dead Sea Scrolls.  Not to mention had other major accomplishments under his belt.  And knew 32 languages fluently.

Obama knows how many?

One was it?  I’m impressed.

Aren’t you?

AND BOTH OF MY PARENTS HAD DISABILITIES.

MY Dad got his as a vet of WWII, even though he was a German Jew Holocaust refugee who escaped Germany in 1933, but sent to the front lines of the French and German border anyway by the U.S. army thanks to the appallingly anti semitic immigration policies of JOE KENNEDY, who bought his way into office as Secretary of State at the time through former illegal activities (sound familiar?) who denied political asylum to all European Jews from Europe while doing business with Hitler until Pearl Harbor,unless they signed up to be cannon fodder.

I lost my dad when I was 11, thanks to those disabilities.  Gee thanks Joe Kennedy.

You anti semitic fuck.

But ol’ Joe would be right at home in DC today.  Because that’s exactly the kinds of things that our political elite, not to mention DoD are doing right now.  From everything from denying a Muslim man who didn’t want to go to war against fellow Muslims an honorable discharge (who was repeatedly taunted and teased and abused for his religious beliefs, while listening to horrific tales of people who’s lives, psyches and bodies had been mangled by the horrific wars Obama refuses to end fought for OIL) to this crap about not putting Wall Street and the pharma companies in their place.

WE, as in the AMERICAN PUBLIC, PAY FOR THE R&D of those medicines in the first place.  WHY THE HELL CAN’T THE US GOVERNMENT NEGOTIATE DISCOUNTS ON THEM.  MUCH LESS REGULATE THEM PROPERLY.  OR LET US SUE THEIR MAKERS IF THEY HURT US.  ESPECIALLY IF THEY LIE ABOUT TEST RESULTS.  THIS IS SO APPALLING IT IS TORTURE.

AND WE, as in the taxpayers, are paying for these continuing multimillion dollar salaries on Wall Street, and an industry that the President REFUSES TO REGULATE, as more and more Americans go homeless, jobless, and lose their health insurance.  With plans for worse in store to come.

What is wrong with this picture?

I know my life has certainly been hell, if not torture these last couple of years.  And certainly I’ve suffered discrimination as a woman all of my life.

I also have the distinction of having more relatives on the list of the International Holocaust Insurance Claims website they put up a couple of years ago than anyone had ever talked to in either their offices in Switzerland OR New York.  Having been able to trace my family tree all the way back to the 1600’s thanks to the help of Manfred Lahnstein, former finance minister and ex CEO of Bertelsman in Germany.

Most of my paternal relatives died in Buchenwald.  That’s a concentration camp, FYI.

One who survived Kristalnacht, but was tortured as a child before he escaped, used to wake up screaming in German for over 50 years afterwards, having nightmares about it (although he forgot how to speak the language while awake) until he was interviewed by Steven Spielberg in his documentary about the Holocaust.  So you can imagine how I feel about Obama’s policies about not prosecuting war criminals at the CIA.  Especially because Jews were portrayed by Hitler as “enemies of the state.”

That is what terrorists are.

And I also have two disabilities, one I’ve had since a childhood accident, called TBI, more specifically a condition called an arachnoid cyst.  But TBI causes a variety of conditions and something that killed Natasha Richardson and Princess Di, is known these days as the signature wound of the wars we are fighting, but never stopped me from having a very successful academic and professional career in both DC and New York.  Despite the sexism I faced.

Until a big, rich Wall Street bank, now bailed out twice with billions of dollars, decided to break the law.

And fired me illegally.

In the process giving me a second and now permanent visible disability also neurological, that gets me called “retard” to my face.

And which I can’t get proper healthcare for because I’m financially ruined, thanks to the fact that the EEOC still can’t get it’s act together to investigate my case. And god knows if I’ll even be able to get a lawyer.  Because my current one is dying.  Lucky me, right?  Of another fun disease called supra nuclear palsy.  It’s also called Parkinson’s Plus.  And NOBODY takes on “complex litigation” against big rich opponents for free.  Or if they do, most lawyers sell you down the river, because if you’re a gimp and they don’t know you, they think you probably deserved to get fired, and fuck, who cares, you’re probably a stupid gimp AND a woman.

And as one guy told me “just get on with your life and get over it.”

Thanks asshole.  That’s not so easy.  I can’t.  Please explain how I pick up the pieces when there is nothing left, no help, and I keep getting discriminated against.  Or beaten up.  Or treated like a fucking retard.

And they won’t do their homework and really fight for you in court.  Unless you can pay them out the nose.

Isn’t this all really funny?  I sure hope the President reads this, because I’m posting this on the White House website and I sure hope he gets some giggles, just like he laughed his ass off about that retard joke he made on national TV.

You owe me a fucking meeting buddy.   If you can have Gates over for a beer for a screaming match with a cop, your goons BEAT ME UP.  Not to mention your cabinet members and White House staff have repeatedly DISCRIMINATED against me, not to mention physically intimidated me.  Among other things.

And nobody hires gimps.  Particularly not in the middle of a recession.  Or should I say DEPRESSION.  Where our real unemployment rate is FORTY PERCENT.  If you count, like the LABOR DEPARTMENT DOES NOT, the twenty percent of Americans with disabilities who are deliberately excluded from the workforce, primarily because of rampant discrimination.  THAT THE WHITE HOUSE HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT.  Except flap it’s lips.  And sign a treaty.  BFD.  So what.

You have given the richest people in America the biggest breaks, and are flushing the poorest down the toilet, while the middle class is becoming the poor.

GREAT IDEA.  What leadership.  Fabulous management.  I’m applauding.

Not.

The sound you are hearing is more like a rasberry.  And if you could see me, I’d be flipping you the bird.  And not the bald eagle. You’d probably make it go extinct.  Or send it to Afghanistan to fight your stupid and amoral war.  Which is much the same thing, after all, given it’s chances of survival.

Just like the troops you keep sending.

I don’t care that you are the President.  You only get my respect when you EARN IT.

And that’s the analysis from the niece of the FATHER OF MANAGEMENT.

Grade to date?  F MINUS.  And I’m being generous.  Based on results to date.

But back to healthcare.

They don’t give real healthcare to people with rare and complicated neurological disabilities on Medicaid. Nor will the President legalize Marijuana, which will help both of my conditions.  And save the taxpayer’s huge amounts of money.  As well as create a lot of jobs.

So I’m costing the taxpayer’s a fortune because my pharma bill is six grand a month for a government created monopology of a non generic drug which is fake THC, which, like say Morphine for patients in real pain, has different effects for those who really need it.  See the British Medical System’s ideas on the subject (where my older brother is a Cambridge and Edinborough educated surgeon, now running a very cool non profit for foreign torture victims seeking asylum in the UK.)

I don’t get high for example, but it takes away the pain and reduces spasicity of the second condition.  Dystonia. Which shocked the crap out of my doctors who originally didn’t want to give it to me.  But of course I can’t get the right dosage, because Medicaid won’t pay for it.  And I can’t get an MRI.  Especially critical right now, because I started blacking out intermittantly for weeks after I was beaten up by Obama’s goon squad, and no hospital would give some stupid gimp girl on Medicaid the right medical treatment, much less let see a neurologist, because I naturally didn’t know what I was talking about, and of course gimps are human waste and garbage in the first place, right?

That IS how Hitler treated the disabled, as much as that might make you cringe.  And I know there are those who are going to call me Rush Limbaugh for saying that.  But the fact is, and you can go back and look at my past blog on the subject, Hitler performed horrific medical experiments on gimps before he exterminated them, right along with the Jews and the LGBT community.

And if you really DON’T believe me, here’s the proof.  As they say, pictures are worth a thousand words.

So sorry to burst your Kool Aid bubble folks.  If you are still drinking it that is.

Because Hilter believed, like most people in this country, and certainly our government treats us, that gimps are worthless.

In fact the last experiments ever done on hypothermia were done by the Nazis, because it’s not possible to do that kind of thing humanely without violating human rights.   Although George Bush and Cheney sure came close.  For which Obama is not prosecuting.  For which there is absolutely no excuse.

And the reason I believe that?  Because of the suffering MY FAMILY ENDURED.  And if it’s not punished here, it will happen again.   That is why even IN SOUTH AFRICA, they held a Truth and Reconciliation Commission.  Which Obama doesn’t even have the guts to do.

And I’m telling you that I have literally been through fucking torture in the last three years.

After I got beaten up at that Organizing for American Town Hall Meeting political rally (which is also what the Nazi’s did) sorry to make the analogy, but they did, it’s called HISTORY AND THE TRUTH, however uncomfortable it makes you feel, even though I went to my local community clinic first, and even passed out there, and they had sent both my records, showing what I was allergic to, plus called the hospital THREE TIMES to tell them that I was to be treated as a NEUROLOGICAL, not a psychiatric patient, it didn’t matter.  I was still denied proper care.  THAT IS ALSO CALLED TORTURE.  And also against the law.

And it gets worse.  But that’s another story.  For another day.

But back to marijuana.  Not only is the FDA even testing the damned weed right now for alot of difficult to treat neurological disabilities, despite the President’s appalling incompetence on the subject, and his continued persecution of people who need it.  Instead of legalizing it.  Creating both cheap medicine, a high cash crop and a source of jobs, green fuel, and a lot of other things.  The whole thing is FUBAR.

But hey, what would I know. I’m just a dumb woman.  Right?

And then there are the legal issues.

This stupid healthcare bill doesn’t touch the issue of legalizing marijuana.

And then there is the issue that the whole health care bill itself IS ILLEGAL UNDER BOTH DOMESTIC DISABILITIES LAW and THE UN TREATY ON HUMAN RIGHTS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES OBAMA JUST SIGNED.  Because it doesn’t give us equal access to goods and services under the law.  PRICE IS NOT MENTIONED as an issue of equal access in all three laws.  Not to mention as a PWD, per the law in every federal circuit, per case law in this country under the 1991 Civil Rights Act, I’ve just had my contractual rights reduced.  Another OOOPS Congress forgot to fix in the redo of the ADA last year.

Not to mention that despite the fact that this community, which is TWENTY PERCENT OF THE COUNTRY WITH A NINETY PERCENT UNEMPLOYMENT RATE DUE TO RAMPANT DISCRIMINATION, doesn’t even have the same rights as vets, who are mostly men, who have the rights to SBA loans and setasides to do business with the government, another campaign promise gone south, which could have been included in the SBA Stim Bill earlier this year, but apparently wasn’t considered important.  Although I gave Senator Harkin’s senior counsel on the subject major shit about it, which took him aback, let me tell you, but that is what I’m talking about.  You have to fight back.   It’s appalling that such an oversight was made, when the civilian PWD community that does survive on disability benefits,  which means poverty, got the least amount of help under the domestic stimulous (half of what Mrs. Obama’s tennis shoes cost that she wears to her photo ops when she goes to soup kitchens). PLUS got extra cutbacks in their programs.

And then on top of that had assholes like Deval Patrick in Massachusetts even ask the Justice Department for an excemption for all bailout money in the state from disability law.  Luckily Holder was smart enough to turn him down, but Patrick was a SHITHEAD FOR EVEN ASKING.  And neither Senator Kennedy, who was still alive, nor Obama publicly rebuked him for it.  Which they should have.  It is APPALLING.

And as a little extra fuck you, not only do I not qualify for disability, which I never intended to go on in the first place, since I am perfectly capable of working, with accomodations, which is why such language is written into both disabilities laws in the first place, (the Rehab Act covers government and the ADA covers the private sector) despite repeated illegal attempts to push me there by multiple state and city agencies in New York, but nobody will hire me.  Not to mention the fact that if say I did go on disability in the middle of waiting for my EEOC case to be investigated, I would automatically lose per case law in the second circuit, which is where my case will be decided.

So it’s kind of a double fuck you, now isn’t it?  Or a triple one.  Because the ONLY JOBS that are on offer through any government program I can find are all administrative.  Which because of my disabilities, I CANNOT DO.

And while there are alot of of ways to honor vets, giving them access to things like government setasides that the civilian disabilities community doesn’t get is, excuse the pun, just plain retarded, not to mention outright unfair.  And sexist.  Given that most vets are men.  Not to mention deluded public policy.

You don’t “earn” a disability, even by going to war.  Not to mention that’s a national Title VII, Rehab Act and Civil Rights Act of 1991 Class Action Mother of a Class Action Triple Act if I ever saw one, if the President doesn’t move his ass on the issue.

And if you think I’m kidding, I’m not. Not to mention 508 compliance of all government websites.  Which is a part of disabilities law that requires that all government websites are completely accessible to those with disabilities of every kind.  And according to the UN, less than 4% are.  Imagine how much the feds, the states and the municipalities will have to pay if that monster is launched.  In my CONSERVATIVE estimation, it will cost the City of New York about five million dollars just to make one agency, welfare, 508 compliant.

OOOPS.

And then of course there is the PRIVATE SECTOR, which the law now applies to as well per the ADA, in the aftermath of a decision called Target.  And I have some really juicy targets in mind.    Like the assholes who are screwing everyone over.

Don’t I sound like a lawyer to you?

I’m not.  I’m actually just Gimp Godzilla.  And I happen to know this crap because I had to learn it.  And I was around the making of the legislation when it happened.

And as I said, I kind of see this as Robin Hood and Sherwood Forest.  Get my drift?  Wanna join my band of happy campers against the evil sheriff?

So, Mr. Obama, I think it’s time you and I had a chat.  Don’t you?

And ladies, and gents, if you’re as pissed as I am, it’s time to pass the hat.

I told you, I’m Gimp Godzilla, and it’s time to start to really making some change we can believe in happen around here.  Don’t you think so?   Because our leaders our out to lunch.  If not breakfast and dinner.

I’m so pissed off right now that’s why I’m writing about it, and inviting you to join me.  Because this is the kind of thing that CHANGES PUBLIC POLICY WHEN LEADERS DON’T LISTEN.  EVER SEE THE MOVIE THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT?  Well I’m preparing a package for him too.  He’s going to LOVE IT, dollars to doughnuts.

Come join me.

We’ll say FUCK THIS COURT, and THIS CONGRESS and THIS WHITE HOUSE all together.

And reclaim our DEMOCRACY AS A NATION.

BECAUSE THIS IS DISGUSTING.   And I feel like the proverbial tiger in a cage that’s been poked once too often right now.

Especially of course because the President thinks making jokes about retards on national TV is really a hoot. I can guarantee you he wouldn’t think it was so goddamned funny if he had to face it for a single day.  Or if it had ruined his life.  Or if he’d had to wait two years and counting for the EEOC to EVEN INVESTIGATE HIS CASE.  While not knowing if he can get a goddamned lawyer.  While being completely financially ruined and not being able to get another job, like me.  Or even proper medical treatment.

Which is called TORTURE.  And certainly feels like it.  Dystonia is one of THE most painful conditions there is.  Your muscles fight each other and my whole left side (the same side as the cyst) always hurts.  Of course when I was beaten up this August, the fucking Obama goons literally grabbed me by my left side and arm, and literally dragged me out of the meeting and slammed my head against the wall, right against the cyst (thus causing the blackouts which I can get no medical help for) when I had the temerity to tell the idiot meeting organizer, who had NO NATIONAL DC EXPERIENCE AT ALL, and I worked there for over a DECADE, that he was not correct about what was going on in DC on healthcare.  Naturally, since he was a white guy, he didn’t like that.

Because naturally white men, even if they have less experience and don’t know what they are talking about or even are LYING, are BIOLOGICALLY SUPERIOR TO BOTH WOMEN AND GIMPS.

RIGHT?

And have the right to beat them up.

WRONG.  It’s illegal.

Nevertheless, he set his attack dogs on a woman with serious disabilities, had me beaten up, and called the police to report me as a “disturbance.”   While the entire audience lept to their feet in alarm.  Although one asshole did call me retard.  Again, as I said, I get it alot these days.

Luckily and rather amazingly, the NYPD, who are not known for their progressiveness in such matters, didn’t see it that way.  So I’ve got a police report and a very credible witness.  But apparently criminal assault and battery doesn’t matter to the White House, the Federal Justice Department or Nancy Pelosi’s Office, all of whom have refused to investigate.  Despite the passage of the Hate Crimes bill which also makes it a federal crime to assault people with disabilities.

Because naturally, women, especially female gimps, are biologically inferior.  And don’t deserve to have their civil rights, their constitutional rights, their human rights, or even their federal rights enforced, when broken by the White House or their minions.

I was making six figures and about to go to an IVY LEAGUE EMBA that my former employer would have picked up the tab for to the tune of $125K.  Really funny, huh, Mr. President, don’t you think so?

That I’d worked over 15 years to get.  And probably never will now.

Isn’t that hysterically funny?

We gimps don’t even have affirmative action.

PWDS AREN’T EVEN INCLUDED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR’S UNEMPLOYMENT STATISTICS. AND ONLY ONE PERCENT OF FEDERAL WORKERS HAVE A DISABILITY, EMPLOYED ON AVERAGE TWO GRADES BELOW THEIR ABLE BODIED PEERS, AT GRADE 8.  WHICH THE WHITE HOUSE HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT.

Of course my former anti apartheid organizing colleague, from college (I was cofounder of the group, and put my ass, my scholarship and my life on the line, she showed up for a few rallies) Cassandra Butts, who now sits her ass in the White House, thanks to her Law school friendship with Obama, seems to think the same way as her boss and called me “privileged” the day I called her up to congratulate her on her new gig days after the inauguration.

Calling to congratulate someone on a success is called good manners.  Or at least that is what I was always taught to believe.

Yet she has refused not only to pass on my proposal to create alot of well paying, cleantech jobs for alot of very needy Americans very quickly, both able bodied and PWDs, that also saves the TAXPAYERS money (AND MAKES the government ALOT of money TOO) but she’s also refusing to investigate appalling civil rights abuses at the cabinet level, perpetuated against me, at four federal agencies, not to mention physical intimidation from one.  WHICH IS HER JOB AND NOT INVESTIGATING THOSE ABUSES IS VERY ILLEGAL.  Not to mention everyone else in the general counsel’s office at the White House.

THAT IS ILLEGAL YOU SEXIST, RACIST, LAWBREAKING ASSHOLES.   I DON’T CARE IF YOU LIKE ME OR NOT, OR ARE OFFENDED BY WHAT I’M SAYING.

YOU ARE THE OFFENSIVE ONES.  NOT TO MENTION THE ONES BREAKING THE LAW.

YOU KNOW I WOULDN’T BE SO ANGRY IF YOU HADN’T TREATED ME SO BADLY AND WITH SUCH DISRESPECT AND SUCH ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR.  WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

I VOTED FOR YOU.

BUT I WILL NOT BE TRAMPLED ON, BEATEN UP, AND HAVE MY CIVIL AND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS REPEATEDLY VIOLATED.  AND DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.  OR WATCH AND DO NOTHING WHILE YOU DO IT TO EVERYONE ELSE TOO.

THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED THE LAW AND THE CONSTITUTION.

AND NOBODY IS EXCEMPT FROM THEM.

EVEN IF YOU SIT YOUR ASS IN THE OVAL OFFICE.

Not to mention my situation sounds really privileged to me, doesn’t it to you?

And the reason I’m telling you people this, is to give you all an example of how out of touch our political elite really are.  And how broken our system really is.

And to give you some ideas on how to empower us all.

So it goes to show you that despite the lip flap, new boss same as the old boss.  Same shit, different day.  I voted for a man who promised change I could believe in.  I was appalled at the crap Obama took over for example the racist attacks he took and the stupid anti Muslim shit over his middle name during the election.  But who is now even going out of his way not to even have a shred of sympathy for that guy at Fort Hood.

Which I find appalling.

While I don’t excuse the killing either, and will never pick up a gun (well actually I did once, to divert the attention of the commandos at the School of the America’s at Fort Benning, as the only independent filmmaker to get on base of that horrifically corrupt DoD program which trained most of the dictators in Latin and Central America for most of the Cold War, responsible for some of the most appalling human rights abuses in our Southern hemisphere not to mention coups (like Noriega in Panama, paid for at your expense), so my cameraman could get some really good shots with his camera, but trust me, I hated it and put the damned thing down as quickly as I could, because to me, guns are horrible, ugly things, I can feel sympathy for that poor guy.

And know exactly what happened.

He snapped.

It’s called normal human behavior when people are put under stress they cannot handle.  And I’m sorry if that offends some readers, but get with the program.  That is why torture is illegal.  And it sounds to me like this guy clearly was being tortured.  Maybe he wasn’t being literally being waterboarded, but I guarantee you, sitting in an office, dealing with horror stories of war, day after day, after day, plus dealing with abuse from your fellow soldiers for your own religious beliefs, plus being refused an honorable discharge and being forced to fight in a war you do not believe in against people of your own religion is enough to drive a person over the top.  Enough even to do this terrible act, which is tragic.  For EVERYONE INVOLVED.  OF WHATEVER RELIGION.  But our soldiers are doing it more and more.  Or even kill themselves.  Which is exactly what a Morman woman did early in the war in Iraq, when faced with torturing Muslims and she couldn’t handle that either.  So she killed herself.  As many of our other soldiers are when faced with equally inhumane situations they can’t handle either.

FACE IT.  War is inhumane.  That is why I’ve always been opposed to it.  Especially for things like fighting over oil.

And furthermore, I am very familiar with this guy’s background.  Because not only did I help save USUHS where he went to school, from a misguided Congressional budget ax as one of my earliest Congressional charges and VICTORIES on the Hill, and yes, I’ve been to Fort Hood too, but I’m sure that the shooter took alot of shit for both being Muslim and internalized alot of pain.  And could not handle being deployed against his will.

I also know, from first hand, one might say, front line battle experience, what it did to my father. Literally.

Who was also taunted by his fellow soldiers for being a “dirty” Jew as he was deployed to the front lines of a war he didn’t want to fight, already traumatized by a condition they didn’t knew existed then called PTSD for the horrific experiences he had already been through from escaping from Fascist Germany in the first place, the anti-semitism of both British society and Public (what we call Private) School, and then the anti-Semitic attitudes of THIS county.  Not to mention finding out that the only way he could get his American citizenship was to fight on the front lines of the German and French borders because he spoke both languages fluently, unlike most American GI’s.  And the dangers he faced, not only as cannon fodder, but from his fellow troops, and of course, what would have happened if he had been caught by the other side.  And I KNOW VERY WELL, because I bear the scars, how much THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE tortured him for the rest of his life.  Especially as he was wounded, badly, for fighting for this fucking country, that didn’t have any gratitude for him.

And as much as I loved him, and I miss him still, those wounds made him, as much as he could be a loving man and good father who I still miss with an ache thirty years later that will never leave, a violent monster too.

And I find Obama’s comments even more appalling because it shows that he is willing to sell anyone and everyone out for political expedience, even if they have similar experiences to him.  Don’t you remember that Obama HIMSELF faced discrimination last year specifically about his MUSLIM MIDDLE NAME?

And I spoke out about THAT. And defended him as someone proud of my JEWISH AND SOUTHERN BAPTIST heritage.

I find and always have found it appalling that Americans could be so closed minded about religion, especially for a country supposedly founded on the principle of freedom of religion.

And again, remember, I’m half Jewish.  The other side is half Southern Baptist.  Or as I’ve always said, like Obama did, I’m a Mutt.  I’m half Yid and half Cracker.  To make people laugh.  And to help them learn.

I learned religous tolerance long ago.  And grew up with a Southern mother, despite her many faults, who taught me the horrors of racism and told me too many stories of watching school buses going the other way, to segregated schools, and poor black kids forced to drink out of dirty drinking fountains.  And lynching.  And learned the lyrics to the song “Strange Fruit” at a very young age.  And what they meant.  And the song gave me nightmares for years.  Especially given my father’s background.

As a child, you have to understand, I felt there was no safe haven.  Anywhere.

And was brought up to believe that MLK was a true American hero and icon.  Much more than say John Wayne.  And was given dolls as a child with black skin, called Sascha dolls.  Yes, really.  That was their brand name.  And was taught that black skin was more beautiful than white.

So I wanted Obama to win last year.  I voted for him.  I believed he really was America’s great hope.  This is not the rant of some Glenn Beck wing nut.

But that is also why I am so angry.

I feel utterly betrayed.

And that he’s a fake, a fraud, and a liar.  If not a hypocrite.

Not to mention the bastard’s beaten me up.  And that is unforgiveable.  And for which he is going to pay.

I have worked long enough in national politics to know that compromise is usually necessary.  But there is a difference between compromise and selling out.  And sometimes there are things you DO NOT compromise on.

And Obama is selling out.  ON EVERYTHING.  And has been since day one in office.

And that I will not stand for.   And he’s hurting too many people.  Not just me.  Although yes, I’m hurting.  Badly.  Even more, thanks to his goons.

And I don’t see him standing up for people who need HIS protection now that he’s in power.  He didn’t come to DC to “rule” per Jarrett’s appalling comments on TV.  A President is the SERVANT of the people.  The ultimate public servant.  And leadership is about sacrifice.  Not reveling in luxury while everyone else suffers.  And that is exactly what he and our political elite are doing.

There’s been no “Change we can believe in.”

In fact, I ain’t seen shit yet.  Much less ANYTHING I believe in going on in DC.

SO IT’S TIME TO FIGHT BACK.  TOOTH, NAIL, CLAW, PEN, ETC.  I’ve always been a pacifist.  And the law, the pen, and civil disobedience are always stronger than any gun.  Not to mention the blogosphere.

Rosa Parks climbed up on a bus and took the front seat. I’m about to chain myself to one now.

Then again, there are alot of brave women in my family.  Like say my paternal aunt Doris, my father’s eldest sister, who, after my family escaped from Germany,  a story for another day, went back repeatedly, on her own, back into Fascist Germany from England, before she married Peter Drucker, to empty the family bank account, despite the horrific danger she faced if she had been caught, so the family would be able to survive.

Mary McCloud Bethune withstood Klansmen to start a school in Georgia in the 1800s, which was UNHEARD OF, that operates to this day, that gave black kids an education when they had no other opportunities.  It’s an amazing and spiritual place.  I did a documentary on it one time.  I sat in her office for about half an hour when we had a break in shooting and just tried to “feel” her, if that makes any sense.  She, as I was amazed to find out, like me, loved elephants as her favorite animals, because they protect their young.  I tell you, that woman was a real heroine.  And very brave. And made a difference in alot of lives.  And NEVER WENT TO AN IVY LEAGUE.

Ellen Craft, born a slave, and sold at the age of 11, escaped from her cruel bondage by “passing” as a WHITE MAN, because her skin color was so light, and her husband posed as her crippled black slave, (how’s that for gender bending your way to freedom, although the African American Community has always been ashamed of that story and covered it up for years, although my paternal grandmother knew about it, and it’s what gave her the idea about how to get my family out of Germany).  Ellen and her husband took the OVERGROUND railroad to freedom from Clinton, Georgia to freedom, before Harriet Tubman ever organized the UNDERGROUND railroad that brought so many slaves North.  And then the Crafts began to speak out about the horrors of slavery.  An act of bravery for which they had to flee for their lives to England.  But which galvanized the anti-slavery or abolitionist movement in this country.  You can read about that if you help me out and buy my book “Channeling Melville” on my site on my blog.   It’s an amazing story.

But these are the people who made a REAL difference in America.

These are the people who made America great.

Not the elitist, sexist and yes, RACIST buppies in the White House who think that going to some stupid school makes you better than anyone else.  Or smarter.  And the out of touch, corrupt, idiots in Congress.  Who are bartering away our rights and liberties.

Or throwing them away perhaps would be more accurate.

Remember that ladies.  Of all colors and hues and sexual orientations.  Gimps and able bodied.  Old and young.

And men too.

If I can do it, and the people I’ve just mentioned did, so can you.

The tragedy at Fort Hood and these stupid and corrupt sellouts on the Hill,  are only the beginning unless WE EXHIBIT WHAT WE ARE GOOD AT. AMERICA WAS BUILT ON FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM FROM TYRANNY AND OPRESSION.

AND OUR VOICES HAVE TOO LONG BEEN UNHEARD FROM.

FIGHT BACK, FIGHT BACK, FIGHT BACK.

OUR DEMOCRACY IS IN PERIL.

What The Hell Are We Fighting For? The Tragedy of Fort Hood

And it’s one, two, three, four
What are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it’s five, six, seven, eight
Open up the pearly gates,
Well, there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee!  We’re all gonna die!

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to Vietnam.
Come on fathers, don’t hesitate,
Send ‘em off before it’s too late.
Be the first one on your block.
To have your boy come home in a box.

I Feel Like I’m Fixing To Die Rag,
Country Joe McDonald, 1965

With the tragedy at Ford Hood yesterday, there is no better time to remind the nation of the immorality and tragedy of war, and the idiocy of this administration, if not the stupidity of continuing the Bush policies in fighting two wars.

Prolonging one in Iraq and escalating the second in Afghanistan.

And the impact on this nation, in terms of human loss, the impact it has on our civil liberties at home (not to mention the flattening and destruction of the countries where we fight these wars) and the huge fiscal, environmental, foreign policy and even domestic tragedy such policies represent.

While there is no excuse for killing, and I have always been a committed pacifist, and I cannot even begin to imagine the heartbreak and the sorrow of the families of the bereaved, for whom my heart goes out to, there is one person in all of this who is going to get blamed for something that is not his fault.

And that is the shooter himself.

Who is naturally going to take all the blame and get punished for enduring what was probably unbelievable torture.  Although nobody will ever admit to it or realize it.  Or own up to the fact that he was actually just as much a victim as those he killed and wounded.  Caught up in an immoral system and war that he was powerless to get free from.

So he cracked.  Which is what happens when human beings are pushed beyond their limits by inhumane conditions and immoral leaders.

Which is what is going on right now.

When the real perps are going to get off scott free.  And probably even profit from it.

The fault for what happened yesterday at Fort Hood lies entirely with our national leaders.

Starting with the asshole in the Oval Office.

Who may show up at Dover and salute coffins, but that doesn’t mean Jack shit.  It’s a photo op, like everything else the man does.

Where is HIS moral leadership and courage?

The shooter yesterday exhibited behavior much like the other soldiers who are cracking under the strain of repeated tours of duty for immoral and stupid wars that are being fought for reasons that our leaders are lying to us about, wasting vast amounts of OUR money to do it, and immersing this country in debt and perpetuating a mentality that only leads to more violence.

Both at home and abroad.

It is significant that the shooter was a Muslim, a senior officer who was well aware of what was really going on and had no desire to be immersed in it himself, as he was about to be deployed to Iraq, a psychiatric advisor who had heard too many tales of horrific destruction, seen too many ruined lives and human beings, a man who himself had been taunted by his fellow soldiers for his own religious beliefs, (yet his own racist superiors apparently did nothing about, which is even more appalling, particularly since they will probably never be punished for war criminals, which is exactly what they are) and who understood exactly what suicide bombers are.

Patriots.

Who defend their country against imperialist invaders who never should be there in the first place.

As much as the U.S. military and our national political elite tries to deny it.  And in fact seem to forget that this is exactly how OUR country was founded.

When one’s country is invaded by an invading force the size of the U.S. military for the natural resources (oil) which is exactly what we are doing in both Iraq and Afghanistan, (see the recent news on the contracts multinational oil companies are now signing with the Iraqi government for extra profit of dollars a barrel for their supposed “investment” while raping the country, a story as old as our historical involvement in the region itself for the last seventy years, and Empires historically in the region, and the plans of all Empires to control a planned strategic oil pipeline which run right through coveted Afghani territory, you have to sit back and wonder, what the hell are we fighting for.

Actually, you don’t have to wonder.

It stares you right in the face.  And has been the reason historically why we have gone to war, as well as other Empires, in both regions for well over two hundred years.

We are being LIED TO.

We are not fighting terrorists or Al Queda.  We are fighting wars of Imperialism to feed our insatiable addiction to oil and refusal to make investments in the paradigm shift we need to switch to a cleantech, carbon free economy so we don’t wreck our planet.

Any more than we already have that is.

Not to mention end the suffering of the growing ranks of the unemployed in an economy which is outdated and failing, so that the disproportionate share of income and it’s ownership in this country will become even more concentrated, and Democracy will evaporate like spit on a Texas highway in a noonday sun.

If it hasn’t already.

So people like Mr. Obama can buy their way into office and those in Congress can deny the American people the same kinds of healthcare for example that they get, paid for by our tax dollars, because they are being bought off by undemocratic, unelected interests.

But in the end, this is stupid and unsustainable, a fact that those idiots who are making these decisions don’t seem to realize.  Us poor whipping horses and donkeys are on the verge of collapse.  Whether we are on the unemployment line or in the National Guard.

We are all casualties of such appalling policies.  And the ranks of the unemployed are only going to continue to grow and are much larger than the “official” numbers being reported by the Department of Labor and the media.

Just as what is really going on in both wars is being hidden by officials from public view so they can continue with their appalling policies because they don’t have the guts to change things.  Or don’t want to because they profit directly from the status quo.

Even though I distinctly remember a politican who ran on a platform to do precisely that.  Who now sits in the Oval Office.

But apparently that’s too politically challenging for the wimp who’s now there.  Who even experienced the politics of oil imperialism abroad as a child, so he has no excuses for not understanding the politics involved, since he saw them first hand and even wrote about them in his books.  And wrote about fights between his mother and stepfather who decided, just as Obama is doing, to take the easy road, sell out, and go work for the oil companies.  And decided his mother was an idiot.

Shows you what a sexist, not to mention racist Obama really is, doesn’t it?  Especially as there are no white women in their forties in the White House in leading roles, or even leading ANY cabinet heads in Washington.

Does Obama want an oil tanker named after him too?  Maybe he should have kept Condi Rice on as Secretary of State instead of naming Hillary to the post. Although I have to say, there isn’t much difference.

He’d rather retain the perks of office and take the easy road instead and live in the White House and have people kiss his ass for as long as possible.  And say “Mr. President” for as long as possible.

Instead of acting like a responsible leader and making the real and tough and moral choices one expects from a leader who promised “change we can believe in.”

So he’d rather kill poor people instead.  And perpetuate suffering in this country by diverting resources to killing and the war machine, instead of rebuilding a country and an economy (this one) that is dying and out of date.

And because his lack of leadership, why our leaders are so hell bent on using the “terrorist threat” as an excuse to keep spending massive amounts of money, expending lives of both American soldiers and innocent civilians both here and abroad, so oil companies, not to mention Wall Street, can make huge profits, and we can ruin our environment, instead of putting those resources into really making the paradigm shift we need to establish a cleantech economy and work towards world peace.

Isn’t that what Nobel Peace Prize winners are supposed to do?

Apparently Obama thinks he can even redefine THAT.

But Orwell beat you to the punch there buddy.

“War is peace”, remember 1984?

Supposedly Harvard educated Presidents are supposed to be familiar with the Canon.  And not the kind that fires cannon balls.

It is precisely policies like these that make America hated around the world. It is precisely policies like these that are driving America broke.  It is precisely policies like these that are contributing not only to the suffering that we saw at Fort Hood, the continuing and rising and horrific death toll and suffering that will continue to haunt soldiers (and their families) for the rest of their lives, which is the real so-called “opportunity cost” of war, but the absolutely intransigent so-called “conventional wisdom” of our political elite on both sides of the aisle that seemingly doesn’t change, and in fact makes a profit off of war.

And one I have paid a direct price for all my life.

My own father, a purple heart decorated (if you can call it that) veteran of WWII, a German Jew and Holocaust survivor, was forced to go to the front lines of the French and German border, despite the horrific risk he faced, both as cannon fodder and what would have happened to him if he had been caught (because he was a German Jew) because he spoke both fluent French and German, unlike most American GI’s, by the horrific and anti semitic immigration policies of Joe Kennedy (patriarch of the supposedly saintly Kennedy dynasty) who was virulently anti semitic and denied entry to all German Jews seeking asylum, while doing business with Hilter until Pearl Harbor, and even covering up news of the Concentration Camps, unless those Jews lucky enough to get here (in other words men, or women, like my aunt, who was married to Peter Drucker, the so-called Father of Management) fought in the war.  My dad was horrifically wounded as a result.  With wounds that affected him for the rest of his life.

I lost him when I was 11.

But Cassandra Butts, the supposed “expert” on immigration, among other things, in the White House who told me to go fuck off and that I was “privileged” because I was white, or perhaps because I knew her at all, when I called to congratulate her on her new gig in the White House days after the inauguaration doesn’t seem to see it that way.  And refused to pass my proposal to create jobs and equality for people who desperately need it, not to mention create a cleantech economy very quickly, on to the right people who definately need some guidance on job creation at 1600 Penn.

Which is appalling.

Not to mention the fact that I have been without a job for over three years at this point because I was illegally fired.  And even refuses to this day to investigate the illegal violations of my civil rights by cabinet members of this administration.  Which is both directly her job and illegal.

Why is she doing this?  Well I’m not sure, except that I suppose she thinks that she’s better than I am and more powerful.  Or perhaps because I dared to criticize (called my FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS) the appalling policies of Mr. Donovan, now head of HUD, which have led to the worst housing crisis in New York City since the Great Depression.  Or the fact that I criticized the fact that Google is collecting cookies from the White House website, in contravention to Federal Disabilities Law.

Or perhaps because I’m white.  Because naturally, being Black in this country is the worst kind of discrimination there is?

Right?

And she’s suffered far more because of it, not to mention ever put her ass on the line to do something about it.

Right?

Much like her boss, or even say Melody Barnes, another White House hypocrite and UNC grad who refuses to return my phone calls.

Even though I never got to go to graduate school, much less Harvard, have been permanently disfigured by an illegal termination from a Wall Street Bank, have been waiting for over two years for the EEOC to even finish it’s investigation, am on the edge of eviction, am completely financially ruined, and my life has been completely changed forever.

God, that sounds really privileged to me.

Not to mention the fact that in terms of accomplishment in Washington, if she thinks she’s accomplished more and has the right to even say something like that, she’s out to lunch.  And is appalling.

Number one, she WORKS FOR ME, number two, it is the duty of those who serve in public office to help the less fortunate, not to mention investigate civil rights abuses, and number three, I’ve accomplished MORE than she has, despite the fact that she brags about her fancy sports cars and she makes more money than I do and has a fancier title now and went to Harvard because of family circumstances.

Accomplishment and meritocracy is and never has been about money.

Even when we knew each other on a more daily basis in college, I still fought harder for racial rights and led the anti apartheid movement at the first Southern public university and then the first Southern State (North Carolina and UNC Chapel Hill), and certainly took more risks to do so and fight for racial justice in this country AND Apartheid South Africa than either Ms. Butts or Ms. Barnes (another black woman and UNC alumni who now works in the White House).  Neither of whom ever put their asses, their scholarships or even their lives on the line to force first the University and then the state to divest all scholarship and pension funds from apartheid South Africa.

Ms. Butts showed up for a few rallies.  Ms. Barnes never even did that.  I faced down Klansmen with loaded shotguns pointed at my head.

Both of them went to graduate school (Ms. Butts went to Harvard) because they had families to support them).  And Ms. Barnes even went to work for Mr. Kennedy, who’s daddy made mine a man with a life long disability.

My family would never even cosign loans for undergrad.  And I still have scars on my arms that make me look like a heroine addict to this day because I had to sell my plasma to eat (and passed out every time I sold it), because my scholarship, to a public university was not enough to cover the costs (because Reagan was busy cutting back on everything, my abusive stepfather even committed both federal mail and tax fraud to prevent me from getting my own family money and to try to get me to drop out of college) and my scholarship prevented me from working on campus.

And the only places near campus to work were bars.  Where I was barred from working because I was underage.

And I lost MY FATHER at the age of 11.  Thanks Joe Kennedy.

So I’m really privileged, doncha know?

Just because I’m white.

And really unaccomplished politically, even though I started changing state policy at the age of 19, and national policy, in DC at the age of 23.  And not as a staffer who went to Harvard.

But in reality, I’m just another victim of the kind of policy that this country has always followed.  Now being perpetuated by political elites who are black.  But naturally they feel they are far more persecuted but ironically more special and privileged and know better, if they went to Harvard, sit their asses in the White House and have chips on their shoulders.

It doesn’t matter what the color of your skin is if you are immoral.  Or your gender.

It’s what you do that counts.

THAT is the kind of hypocritical crap that is perpetrated by our “leaders.”

So I know very well the real cost of war.  It’s why I’ve always been opposed to it.  Especially immoral, Empire building ones.

It doesn’t mean that I don’t believe in fighting to protect your rights.  Which I have had to do all my life, especially from elitists, racists and sexists, who think they can pull this kind of crap.   Of whatever color, gender or sexual orientation.

But that’s not what we are doing right now with the wars we are fighting.

I am a direct descendent of one of the first two women in U.S. history to have ever fought on the front lines of ANY U.S. battle in a little historical dustup called The Battle of King’s Mountain.  Which for all you U.S. history buffs out there, is known as the turning point of the REVOLUTIONARY WAR.  And women are still not given credit by DoD.  Or given leadership posts.  Or allowed to command troops in battle.  Or given leadership roles in business, politics, academics or just about anything because we’re biologically inferior, right Summers?  Not to mention Obama, who has already created what is being called a “boy’s club” in the White House.

God what a change.

Apparently men and elitists who go to Harvard who never put their asses on the line, know better.  About everything.   Which is what leads to these kinds of policies.

And tragedies.

The shooter yesterday apparently endured not only horrific tales of horror from his counseling of troops returning from the war, but additional harrassment because of his religion from his fellow troops because he was a Muslim.

Which the army brass did nothing about.

That is just one of the real crimes here.

DoD has done NOTHING in the face of a rising suicide rate and repeated shootings of a similar nature in Iraq.

That’s another war crime that will go unpunished.

And the idiot in the Oval Office, who has also never put his ass on the line for anything, or anybody and has only worked for personal self gain and self promotion, per HIS OWN ADMISSION, has determined, along with Congress and that disgustingly hypocritical moment of silence last night on the Hill, despite all of this, to draw out the war in Iraq and escalate the one in Afghanistan.

Because of “the terrorist threat.”  Which is complete and utter BS.

Both theatres of war are being maintained for profit.  And to control dirty resources.  Spelled O-I-L.

Many members of Congress actually profit from the war themselves personally (like Dianne Fienstein, and Mr. Murtha, both of whom, and they are not the only ones) who vote for such wars, approve such appropriations, and who’s spouses and relatives get rich from war profits in contracts with the U.S. military.   And Mr. Obama is giving first dibs to all the best bailout money to his cronies.  Who are as crooked as a dog’s hind leg.

Not to mention the fact that Obama is out to lunch if he ever thinks that he will win in Afghanistan, (see my last blog on the subject) and made a campaign promise to promptly end the war in Iraq.

Of course we all know that he’s broken every single promise he ran on, so I suppose it’s stupid of me to even bring up the latter subject.

But I am so furious, as well as heartbroken about the tragedy in Fort Hood, as well as the media’s coverage of it, our political elite’s reaction to it, that I can’t help but write about it.

WHY THE HELL CAN’T WE LEARN OUR LESSONS?

How many more kids will come home in a box before we do?

With the entire country on the verge of economic collapse, despite the propoganda of a supposed “economic turnaround” (which is complete and utter crap and based solely on the BS of the stock market rally, which is an illusion as even reported by say Paul Krugman and Robert Reich, even if you don’t want to take it from a woman, who, according to the raving sexist in the White House, Mr. Summers who thinks that women are incapable biologically of understanding economics or apparently anything of substance, despite the wonderful FU of the first woman in history to just win a Nobel for economics in HISTORY) and real unemployment in this country hovering around forty to fifty percent if you count the number of people who are deliberately kept out of the workforce based on discrimination, what the hell are we doing wasting money and lives both domestically and abroad and putting more pressure, both psychologically and fiscally on the American people by such policies?

Not to mention the damage and killing we are doing abroad?

This is known as torture. And deluded public policy.

And perpetuated by political sadists who seem to think that spending as much money for ONE YEAR in Afghanistan alone that equalled a domestic bailout that was way too small, but giving the banks a $32 Trillion dollar bailout is appropriate.

And is not coming from Republicans, BUT DEMOCRATS.

But you see war is very profitable for the banks and the political elite and DoD armchair generals who all get to make money, control huge budgets, and get promotions behind safe desks, far away from the real suffering, by promoting such policies.

And oil companies and pharma companies who will make a literal killing in both commandeering the resources of destroyed countries we are directly responsible for flattening, and selling overpriced medicine the soldiers who’s lives we ruin will have to buy for the rest of their lives when their bodies and brains are battered forever.   At overinflated prices the President just refused to bargain for.

What a flaming asshole.  Does the man have a conscience?

Does he know how to spell the word?

Does he even know what it means?

That’s what dictionaries are for you dickhead.

Maybe you should look one up.  You did go to Harvard, after all.  I should think you’d be familiar with both multi syllabic words, not to mention such basic books.

Or even the fucking internet.

Yes I’m angry.  Furious as hell.

What the hell are we doing?  Or to be more specific, what the hell are YOU doing?

And why are the American people putting up with this?

Again, and again and again?

Economically, war based economies are the worst, most destructive, economically and environmentally wasteful and non sustainable policies there are.  And only further concentrate wealth.  Not “spread the wealth around.”

So if Mr. Obama, in all of his supposed brilliance, really gave a crap about anything or anybody except himself, he might follow the advice of some other brave leaders, even if they weren’t so supposedly brilliant as he thinks he is.

And who never went to Harvard.  And put their asses, careers and reputations on the line.  Not to mention their lives.  And actually had ethics and morals. And guts.

Like say Mohammad Ali, who gave up his boxing championships and titles in opposition to the Vietnam War, refused enlistment, faced prison time for doing it, and said “No Viet Cong ever called me a Nigger.”

Yet Mr. Obama, who seems to forget that the sacrifices of the past, including Dr. King, who was also opposed to the War in Vietnam, and who’s bravery in leading the Black Civil Rights movement got him shot.

Yet who’s bravery in advancing the rights of the African American civil rights movement put Mr. Obama in the White House.

Where this ungrateful asshole is aping the worst attitudes and policies of the white male elite who oppressed and is continuing to do so, minorities who didn’t have both legacy and minority advantages plus grannies who worked at banks to cosign their loans plus a mother who coached him and sacrificed everything for her ungrateful son who couldn’t even show up when she was dying, not to mention screwing over women and the disabilities community (not to mention the LGBT community) now that he’s in office, not to mention the poor of every color, gender, sexual orientation, able bodied or those with disabilities of whatever kind.

Because Obama is an ungrateful fuck, who thinks he’s smarter than everyone else on the goddamned planet.  And doesn’t give a fuck about anyone else.  And thinks he deserves the best of everything.  While letting the rest of the world go to hell.

What a hypocritical Buppy and corrupt Oreo.

And what change we can believe in.

Right?

One, two, three, four, what the fuck are we fighting for?

Except to get this asshole out of office, asap.  And everyone in Congress who supports him and these policies.

And if you think I’m mad as hell, you are absolutely right.

And if you have a brain, and you really care about what happened yesterday, not to mention what is going on all around you every day, you should be too.

And will do something about it. NOW.

DANGER – The White House Website is hazardous to your health

For those of you who think that You Tube is the cat’s meow, I’m sorry to let the dogs out.

And there’s a reason I’m writing about this now and why, particularly since it directly impacts your Democracy and how you interact with your government.  Particularly The White House.

You see, the White House has chosen Google to be their video vendor, along with hiring many Google personel to strategic IT positions in government.  And of course the CEO of Google is one of the President’s closest advisors.  It is far from appropriate in this particular case, for the White House to be giving so much influence and business to a company that already has a monopoly share of the browser market, particularly when Obama, at least in campaign mode, specifically said he was interested in “spreading the wealth around.”

Little hint there buddy.  That’s not how you do it.  Especially when Google is also getting a lot of money from DoE right now to invest in cleantech, and partnered with GE to do exactly the same thing.

This is called President’s creating monopolies.

Plus of course Google is not exactly a company with a stellar past when it comes to ethical business practices, which range from stock manipulation to bending if not breaking securities laws, and developing applications that do not comply with disability law.  Not to mention stealing IP.

Hardly a model vendor, much less advisor, or company on those grounds alone for the White House video vendor , company or even Presidential advisor, in an “age of a new era of personal responsibility” as I believe someone who looked remarkably like the current head honcho in chief at 1600 Penn said on his remarkably expensive inauguration day speech.  Then again, we’ve seen alot of deviations from that pure as driven snow ethic since then.

But there are other problems too, which point both to the President’s determination to get exactly what he wants, come hell or high water, whether it breaks the rules or not.   And his attitude that he thinks that he is above the law.

Specifically the White House website breaks a couple of rather large laws, which the White House is trying to pretend they are immune to or don’t matter.

And you should be aware of if you should be inclined to visit the White House website any time soon.  Because they directly affect YOU.

The first is that the website uses Google You Tube as their video vendor.  And You Tube collects cookies.  No, not the Oreo kind that you dip in milk, but the kind that track your activities once you click on the video window of any You Tube site.  Including the ones on the White House website.

According to the White House legal counsel, who has written a legal brief excusing this, which in my opinon holds about legal water as a Yoo memo on torture, this is perfectly okay.

But it’s not.

For several reasons.

The first is that the White House or any government entity should not allow ANY private vendor to collect citizen’s information for their own private and commercial gain, which is exactly what happens when you click on any video window on the White House Website.

The second is that, according to the White House legal counsel, they had no choice in the matter because Google couldn’t turn off the cookies.  Which is complete BS, because they can if they wanted to, but if they didn’t want to take the expense.  In my opinion, then the White House should use another vendor.  Which of course they don’t want to do, because the CEO of Google is a major contributor and sits on Obama’s advisory board.

Thirdly, despite the fact that the site warns people in writing that Google does in fact collect such cookies, this is still not appropriate for several reasons and breaks several rather big laws.  To wit:

1.  The Rehabilitation Act.  Specifically Section 508, which mandates that ALL government websites must comply with this law.  NO EXCEPTIONS FOR EGOTISTICAL PRESIDENTS ALLOWED.

Over thirty million people in the United States cannot read, mosty due to disability.  Therefore they have no idea that when they click on either the window itself, which does contain a popup saying that this is a You Tube window, but since they can’t read, they can’t understand it.  Neither can they understand the legal mumbo jumbo disclaimers the White House has posted on the site elsewhere.  Therefore, the White House is running roughshod over the civil and privacy rights of over thirty million Americans just because it feels like it.

2.  The fact that the White House is allowing a monopoly to have such product placement on THE PREMIERE government website in the first place is appalling, unprecedented and essentially puts a dollar sign on the front door of the White House saying “THIS REAL ESTATE IS FOR SALE.”  Which is exactly what is wrong with politics in general, not to mention probably illegal.  The government is not for sale.

3.  The fact that the White House allows Google to collect YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION for their own private profit is not only appalling, but is most definately illegal as in a violation of privacy, and could be construed as either bribes for future business (i.e. first dibs on bailout cleantech grants for example as a quid pro quo swap) or in fact a round about and illegal way to raise campaign dollars.

4.  The fact that the White House is doing this to begin with is so appalling and unethical, particuarly because Obama and the White House staff KNOW, or they should, that dealing with the Government should not be the same as dealing with Wall Street, i.e. Caveat Emptor, or buyer beware.  The government is there to PROTECT its citizens, not take advantage of them.  Most people in this country are technologically illiterate, and not through their own faults.  Most of Congress is too.  This is a classic case of Obama’s elitism and “I’m so much smarter than the rest of you idiots that I can take advantage of you” and his penchant for secrecy harming the privacy of the American public.  Just like Bush.   It is completely inappropriate for ANY public entity to take advantage of the public’s lack of awareness or education for it’s own advantage.

And despite my long and very heated discussion on the matter with several White House staffers, all of whom, in their ignorance and arrogance think they can do whatever they want because they sit their butts in the White House, have forgotten one crucial and very important thing.

THEY WORK FOR US.  NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.  We pay for their salaries, their health insurance and the real estate.

It’s time they remembered that.  Particularly the arrogant head honcho in the Oval Office, who seems to think that blowing $215K on date night of the tax payers money is perfectly okay, while the taxpayers sink.  While furthering executive privilege established under Bush and acting like a spoiled child when he is criticized.

Even by members of his own party.  Or those who voted for him.

Being President, or even going to Harvard, does not make you infallible, smarter than anyone else, or above the law.  As much as Obama is fighting to make it that way.

That was the problem with Bush.  That is the problem with Congress.  And that will, in the end, if we do not stop it, be the end of Democracy as we know it.

Earth to Obama – “Change We Can Believe in For Dummies”

Despite all the spinning and supposed sloughing off of the election returns last night in key districts in Virginia, New York, and New Jersey, by White House officials, Obama and the DNC, quite frankly, these comments are both BS and the losses they engendered served them right.

Furthermore the appalling comments from an anonymous (of course) White House official that Bloomberg’s appalling third victory in New York, which is undemocratic, against the will of the people, and is a victory for nothing else than the corruption of money in politics for a man who has ruined this city, has contempt for everyone but the rich, and is doing his best to blacklist anyone who opposes him, (just like Obama) is yet again a sign of a White House and a DNC seriously out of touch. With democracy, it’s voters, it’s base, this country and the shape it is in, it’s mission as a party, and even the Constitution.

First of all, David Plough’s comments that CANDIDATE OBAMA is the same as the man who now occupies the White House is so laughable that it’s almost tragic.  If it’s true then we voted for a liar and he should be impeached.  If it’s not, then Obama is a spineless, shrinking violet, or political rube, or perhaps political sociopath, who deserves to lose, along with the other Democrats in DC, who think that abandoning their base, going right instead of left, are mired in corruption, and acting more like Republicans than Democrats is a winning strategy.

Because there are plenty of Republicans who advertise themselves that way, and if people wanted Republicans in office they would vote for them.  And just did.

Not Democrats who pretend they are something else.

I say these victories for the Republicans (who I generally despise) serves the DNC right.

And should send an unmistakeable message to the egotistical idiot in the White House with an ego so large and a staff so egocentric that they take constructive criticism as “damaging” and count it as coming from enemies.  When in fact it’s coming FROM THEIR BASE.

Who put the damn idiot in office.

Furthermore the thuggery, lawbreaking, lying, and continued Bush policies of Obama, might as well make him a Republican.  Which I didn’t vote for, nor do I think is right.  He has abandoned all the campaign causes he ran on, or subverted them under the advice of the worst and most corrupt insiders in DC.  Again, for that he deserves this loss.

Obama needs to rethink, regroup, and seriously rethink his own strategy, his supposed brilliance, get off his sexist and elitist kick, and start letting really new ideas (and people) have access to the Oval Office.  If not start firing most of his staff and cabinet.  That includes YOU CASSANDRA BUTTS.  Not to mention Rambo.  And the cabinet heads of Labor, HHS, Interior and HUD.  For starters.

Instead of spending all of his time propping up incumbants who are going to lose, and claiming Messiah status.  And taking date nights to New York at $215K a pop at the taxpayer’s expense.

Does the man have a clue that this is the amount of money of at least six average annual middle class salaries that he spent to indulge his overprivileged and spoiled if not corrupt and lying wife?  IN ONE NIGHT?  Or his wife have a clue that the tennis shoes she loves to wear in her hypocritical and made for TV appearances at homeless shelters cost TWICE AS MUCH as the “stimulous” given out to the most poverty sticken Americans that OBAMA and his wife have DONE NOTHING TO HELP.

And then has the audacity to complain about being criticized for it in the face of a national economic meltdown?  While giving all his corporate cronies all the best goodies in the bailout? While spending further tax dollars to promote the Olympics in his home town the year he gets out of office, to further promote his own career and reward his personal cronies.  All again, on the taxpayer’s dime.

While bailing out Wall Street, covering up the cost, lying about jobs created, undermining Democracy, expanding Executive Privilege, upholding the expansion of FISA, underming FOIA, doing nothing to expand the civil rights of the LGBT community and even less for those with disabilities, continuing the drug war (even as his own FDA is approving trials for medical marijuana), creating a healthcare deform bill that is anything but, and in fact accomplishing NOTHING if one is charitable, but actually much worse, but perpetuating the crimes, and refusing to punish the worst crimes of the last administration. Including the perpetuation of two wars.

And spending as much money to promote a stupid war in Afghanistan as the ENTIRE DOMESTIC BAILOUT, which everyone except his corrupt and sexist economic advisor told him was too small.  But he rejected, in his natural brilliance because of course, Obama is always right.  Because he’s the Messiah, and much smarter than everyone else on the planet.  Of course.

NOT.

The man is out to lunch.

So I would highly suggest dancing to a different tune over there at 1600 Penn.

And oh, by the way, that includes a personal meeting with me, over my jobs stimulous proposal, that will trim the budget, to the tune of the national deficit annually, create green jobs for years, not to mention create environmentally friendly clean energy, and I know, despite coming from a white woman in her forties (conspicuously absent from ANY high ranking White House or cabinet position in this administration) much less invited to the White House for the signing of legislation that she (as in me) was responsible for creating the situation for in the first place at an age Obama wasn’t even an elected official yet (IN DC, IN CONGRESS, at the age of 27) – the White House chose to invite a White Guy instead.

If Obama wanted to be a sexist, racist, economically irresponsible, war mongering politician who refuses to listen and serve his constituents, instead of serving up the same old crap and creating the same appalling Washington insider’s game of lobbyists, money dictating policy, and cronyism, why didn’t he run as a Republican instead?

That way, voters could have had a much clearer vision of the man they were voting for, instead of the liar we now have in the White House who claims the moral high ground but actually feeds and revels in the mud and piggy trough, bails out the rich, ignores the poor, lives in a bubble, thinks he’s a Messiah, and has an ego complex that is intolerable just because he raised alot of money from corrupt rich people,  just like his predecessors in the Oval Office for way too long, Republican and Democrat alike.

Change we can believe in?  What a laugh.

And how tragic for the American people who believed it.

It’s time for a change in America, but it’s clear that Obama ain’t it.  Just another self centered, egotistical, sexist, who’s only interest was winning, celebrity and personal promotion.

Who just deserved the bitch slap he got.

Who doesn’t deserve this is the American people, who are suffering under his deluded policies and cabinet and staffing picks.  Not to mention a mountain of wasted debt.

And the progressive base who will now suffer with a Republican backlash this lying bastard will perpetuate.

Gee thanks dickhead.

And don’t you think some rethinking is in order Einstein?

Or maybe a rereading of the classic book “Presidents for Dummies?”  Or the special edition, “How to be a progressive President For Dummies without alienating your entire base?”

Extreme Email Fraud and its Implications

I am posting the following appalling email I recieved and writing this post about it, for several reasons.

1.  It is a perfect example of data mining.

2.  It is a perfect example of a very bizarre, and wierd set of “niche Interests” and multiple sources of information in one email, evidence to be discussed in a moment.

3.  It should make you finally understand why so much fuss has been made over things like FISA, Obama’s appalling continuation of some of the WORST Bush policies, and it’s wakey wakey time.

4.  It is a perfect example of the kind of online marketing, data mining, cookie information storage and sharing. Across an awfully broad spectrum of government, private and international sources.

5.  It should make you very, very uncomfortable about where this government is heading.

6.  It should make you very, very uncomfortable about what is going on in the wars we are fighting and what it is doing to the consciences, if not completely illegal activities of this nation, not to mention the soldiers doing the fighting of it. Or their superiors within DoD and the National Security Complex.  Not to mention Congress and the White House.

But first the email:

1.  The reason I know this is a fraud is because this is a very similar kind of email that I seem to be getting a lot of these days, which will eventually ask you for even more personal information, like bank account numbers and social security numbers, which I shouldn’t have to tell you, you NEVER give out online unless you trust the source.

2.  While some of the acts in this email are probably true and rumours of soldiers illegally looting lots of cash have been floating for years, not to mention other illegal activity by our soldiers in Iraq, it is very disturbing that I would be getting this email now, particularly given other information contained within it, whether or not it is is visible to you.

3.  It is a perfect example of the kinds of information sharing, legal and illegal that are going on.  Apparently internationally.  How do I know that?  See examples below.

4.  The megatext of the email itself had information and a URL address, right down to the file directory information, of an image and a map containing that browser, as well as it’s graphical image on my last blog.  That cannot happen by accident.  And the timing is more than suspicious.  And who has information to that kind of information?  Especially when used in conjunction with other clues in this email?  The White House and the national security complex.

5.  The email admits itself that this person I don’t know, got my name and personal information from one of the many social networking sites. And is an attempt to gather even more information, such as social security numbers and bank account information.  Which means that browsers and telecoms not to mention other corporations, are sharing personal information between themselves about YOU.

6.  The line at the bottom of the email, whether you recognize it or not, is a new form of integrated “social marketing” and an advertisement for a MOBILE PHONE.

7.  The original attempt that I used to download the email, brought up as a default a Microsoft browser text document.  I don’t use that browser.

8.  All of this, along with the White House’s own lawbreaking activities (including the fact that the White House’s own website is 508 noncompliant (a violation of disability law), allows Google to collect your personal information through cookies everytime you click on a video on the site for their own economic gain, which I believe is also illegal, not to mention the product placement the government is giving a monopoly, which is at a minimum highly unethical, considering that the head of the company sits on the President’s advisory panel.

But also means that Google is probably in on this too.  Along with one of the telephone providers Obama so nicely gave legal immunity to for blatently breaking the law.

The combination of all of these factors should make you very, very scared.

And hopefully get off your asses and do something about it.  Even if it’s turning these kinds of emails into the “authorities” although I doubt they’ll do anything about it, since I suspect their complicity in this as well.  For various reasons.

And if all this sounds paranoid, metatext and coding language doesn’t lie.  In fact I’m not even sure that it’s capable of it, last time I checked.

But what it does mean is that Obama has an Oedipal Complex he needs some serious psychoanalyzing on.  Not to mention a vision of where he’s taking this country (not to mention a glimpse of a very twisted psyche).  Even greater than the normal sociopathology of politicians.

And should make you start thinking of voting all the bums out of office, no matter the party, starting next year.   Not to mention realizing that our national leader is a pathological power seeker, intent on undermining the Constitution.

This email breaks so many laws it’s not even funny.

And the combination of factors, including the players, the technology involved, the coding used, not to mention where it came from, and the timing, are all proof of something that should make you think very carefully about what Obama is planning on doing.

And says some very disturbing things about the lawbreaking activities of this administration, it’s reluctance to punish the lawbreaking activities of the previous administration, is what I believe is further example of the Obama “enemies list” (FISA after all was passed by Congress after Watergate.)  And Nixon did alot of illegal wiretapping.   Not to mention contained such a similar list.

Not to mention evidence of databases that might be used to conglomerate such information, plus “targetted marketing” (that’s the text banner advertising inducing me to try the mobile phone they so conveniently provided the link for at the bottom of the email.

So put your thinking caps on, but not for too long.

And realize we are not in Kansas anymore.

Sayyonara Van Jones and Good Riddance

While the mainstream media establishment, including the blogosphere is alight with accusations that Glenn Beck and Fox News scored their first victory in the resignation of Van Jones, with cries of “racism” as their primary excuse, they are as delusional as Glenn Beck and Fox News themselves if they insist on this stupid response as the excuse.

The reality is that Van Jones got fired, and for no other reason than his own incompetence and Obama’s wimpiness and complete lack of loyalty to anyone but himself and forwarding his own personal agenda of international fame and glory.  For himself.  Everyone else is extraneous.  Haven’t you figured it out by now?

Obama hired someone he thought was one of the Ivy League “brothus”, in other words an elitist, sexist, incompetent, egotist, who dismissed women, especially white ones completely, and didn’t know jack about environmentalism.  So what if he knew about viral marketing.  Everyone does who’s technologically competant.  I’ve been doing it since the mid nineties, to significant success.  And working with digital video and for political and organizing purposes for much longer than that.

It’s just that nobody ever hires women in significant positions in either politics or business, now do they?  And so what if Jones wrote a book about green jobs?  Not only have more of my relatives written books that have changed the way we think about society than I can count, but the concept of a sustainable economic and environmental infrastructure, economy and community has been around for years. It’s what the concept of Kibbutz’s are based on for one thing.  And what the environmental community globally has been criticizing the U.S. for decades for ignoring.  And that would be people of all colors and sexes.

Okay, so he’s a black guy who plagiarized sustainable economists whose work has stretched back for decades internationally.

So what?

It doesn’t make him the best candidate for the job.

Obama picked him because he was black, male and had an Ivy League degree and a best selling book.   What has Van Jones actually DONE to deserve the job?  It takes an Ivy League degree to get published these days, and if an Ivy Leaguer actually thinks that the United States government, even under the idiot who last inhabited the White House let the World Trade Center go up in smoke, despite well documented evidence that they were warned by the Mossad who’d been tracking the perps for days, then it just proves how stupid Jones really is because he doesn’t have a clue how incompetent our national security infrastructure and those who staff it really are.  Bush was the incompetant one.  He was even warned by Clinton about Al Queda, but his own security team dismissed the threats.  Trust me, if there’s one thing Bush NEVER intended to do was make Wall Street lose money, which they did big time.  That alone proves how stupid Van Jones really is.

Jones was picked over many other people with far better qualifications, just because he was black and Obama thought he would fit in because he fit the “Obama mold.”

So much for diversity.  And how tragic in the first White House of America’s first black president.

If a white guy did it, or Hillary had, both would have gotten killed in the media.

But Van Jones is no different than the other picks Obama has made so far.  I mean look at the White House senior staff.  There’s not a single white woman in her forties in the “inner circle” at either 1600 Penn or a cabinet level post, despite a plethora of very spoiled male brats of exactly the same demographic.

And look where that’s getting us.

My own interaction with Van Jones is that he simply refused to acknowledge my presence.

I’m not impressed with what he’s done, or Obama for that matter, because I started changing state policy at the age of 19, and national policy by the age of 23.

While I didn’t go to Harvard law school because my boss, a legend in DC circles for those in the know as the man first suspected by Kissenger and Nixon for leaking the Pentagon Papers, at my first job out of college at the legislative office of the ACLU on the Hill, but a raging sexist nonetheless, told me I didn’t deserve to go because I hadn’t gone to an undergraduate Ivy League (based solely on economic reasons), the education I picked up on Constitutional, disability, national security and other civil liberties law during my tenure there is, I would argue certainly equal to a Harvard Law Degree.  And while it may not be considered as “prestigious,” as editing the Harvard Law Review, my articles on the legislation we were writing and inching through passage on the Hill published in our national publication and distributed via the internet (along with Supreme Court decisions) starting in 1989 were at least as influential and widely read.  And required both an understanding of the legislation, Congressional procedure and legal jargon to do so, written for an audience of professional practicing attorneys and legal scholars.  The ACLU is not called the country’s largest law firm for nothing.

I was 22 at the time.

Van Jones’ environmental creds don’t even touch mine.  My uncovering of military abuses of environmental crimes (and this is just one sample of my work) changed national policy for years in DC.  Eventually leading to what still remains my proudest accomplishment of my life.  Saving the largest area of pristine high desert ecosystem in the lower 48 from becoming a bombing range that was completely unneeded.  In the process also saving the largest area of unpaved road in the United States, the home of 12 endangered species, and the sacred holy ground of the Shoshone Paiute Indian Tribe.   Almost completely by myself.

At the age of 27.

To give you an idea of what I was up against, it was one of the largest illegal land deals in the history of the United States, brokered by the Department of Defense, the Department of Interior, the State of Idaho and backed by the Clinton White House.

Obama didn’t even invite me to the White House for the signing of the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act which he signed earlier this year, when I spearheaded the effort to save the largest piece of land in it, the Owyhee Canyonlands.  In Congress.

A piece of land which was finally awarded Federal Wilderness Protection under that bill (in other words the highest environmental protection of public land one can get) as a resource for all of us to share as a national heritage for free, instead of the bombed out carcass it would have become if I had stood by, like everyone else and done nothing.

In the process learning more about land rights, airspace, federal vs. private control of public land, the interplay of federal agencies, how environmental impact studies are and can be frequently manipulated by corrupt politicians, bureaucrats and contractors, and a lot of other things you need to know, in the long road I have traveled to becoming one of the leading cleantech experts in the country.

Along with one of the leading adaptive technology experts and disability employment law experts, with a very good technical background, particularly where such things will cut entitlement spending and put the 20% of the people with disabilities in the country, who are currently 90% unemployed, mostly due to rampant discrimination back to work.  That demographic by the way mostly lives in poverty, thanks to deliberate policies set by the government, judicial hostility to the civil rights laws that supposedly protect us, and no adequate enforcement of the law, plus the general stigma in the public in general (i.e. that we’re worthless doormats to begin with, unless of course we’re Senator Kennedy). An attitude shared by Obama, who hasn’t done jack, in fact worse than that, despite the lip flap to his “committment” to ending discrimination for people with disabilities.

I also have a background in science and neurology that just shows what an idiot (or a hypocrite) the president is for his opposition to legalizing marijuana on both economic and medical grounds, as the U.S. is already testing it for conditions that are both expensive to treat and for which no other medications exist to treat, especially ones that are both non addictive and without side effects.  See here and here.  I mean does he think we are THAT stupid?  And by the way, also presents a great source of green jobs and scientific education and research, which my plan also discusses.

I put together a program, the title pages which are shown here are tailored to a certain Mayor in New Jersey, but I include them to give you a sense of the comprehensiveness of the plan, to be piloted in New York, and began to shop it around both locally and on the federal level.  I met with my Congresswoman, Nydia Velasquez, in who’s district it would have been piloted in.  Literally two weeks later, I called Van Jones, the day his appointment was announced.  He was too busy to talk to me, his staff said, and they weren’t allowed to give out his new White House information.  Which is crap, but not unusual for people overawed at DC appointments.  Maybe I’m too cynical through dint of exposure, but those things don’t impress me at all.

Three days after Van Jones got his job, I called the White House (these things are not difficult if you have a brain, not to mention over 11 years of DC experience) and introduced myself to his secretary (apparently the only position white women are allowed to occupy in Obama’s White House, an attitude held by much of corporate America too, which the institution at 1600 Penn is disturbingly looking and acting a lot more like these days, and certainly putting their interests ahead of the population they were elected to represent), told her that I had just met with Congresswoman Velasquez, told her a little about my past in DC, and learned in the process that Jones was meeting with Ms. Velasquez the next day.  I also told her that to date, both DoD and the USDA had expressed interest in the proposal, both because it dealt with TBI and in fact was the ONLY proposal in the country to do so, when the issue is growing increasingly critical since the condition is becoming known as the “signature wound” of the wars we are fighting with no program for either vets or civilians in any federal department to deal with it, as well as other disability issues and increasing access to good paying cleantech or green jobs for those traditionally excluded from such opportunities, not to mention kick starting the entire U.S. economy…in other words exactly the model Jones was looking for, with a lot of the homework already done, and had also elicited DoD’s interest because of my ideas for the reorganization and greening of GM (my late uncle was Peter Drucker) and had also received interest from a small and uninfluential international organization called the United Nations who had expressed interest through several different channels.

I also told her that Mayor Bloomberg in New York had ripped off my IP for PlanNYC 2009 legislation based on this proposal, and that I’d called him on his previous RFP issued the year before for blatant bid rigging, minority and women setasides set at a whopping 4%, and other blatant errors that made the RFP itself look so sophomoric it could have been written by a four year old.  And this on top of a rezoning of a section of the city that was so illegal, stupid, and blatantly rejiggered EIS data, that the White House needed to be aware of these things.  And on top of that, then Senator Clinton had helped Google obtain extremely hard to get federal tax credits for the largest solar panel install in the city until late last year (Morgan Stanley did Google’s IPO, much of their outsourced IT work and of course was Clinton’s biggest Wall Street backer in her presidential run).

Nobody, from the city and state of New York to the Department of energy would answer my questions about that install, even though it’s not classified information.  Either informally or through FOIA or FOIL requests.  And that is most definately illegal.  Starting with Bloomberg’s office.  The White House knew these things going in.

What did Van Jones do?  He praised Bloomberg for PlanNYC and never returned my phone call.

Now I hardly think that this sounds either like a crank call or from a person who doesn’t know what she is talking about.  And certainly someone worth calling back.  Even from the lofty perch of the White House snob factory.

I immediately sent the proposal over by email, also telling the secretary that I had gone to University at UNC Chapel Hill and led the anti apartheid effort in which now Deputy White House Counsel Cassandra Butts had participated (who had gone on to Harvard law with Obama and thus had gotten her cushy White House post that way), but during college her “involvement” meant she showed up for rallies where we allowed her to speak, since we were a very open and egalitarian group which believed in giving African American women opportunity, even if they didn’t do very much, which she didn’t.

The community organizing effort spread first throughout the student body, gained the support of the faculty, and then spread statewide and had a very visceral impact, and led to the entire divestment of not only the first southern public university (also known as “the public Ivy”) to divest, but led to the eventual divestment of all pension and scholarship funds of the ENTIRE STATE of North Carolina, the first state south of the Mason Dixon line to divest.  And is considered even today as one of the most momentous events in the history of the university. As I was considered one of it’s co-founders, even years after the event, as this article clearly demonstrates, quoting who?

Not Ms. Butts, that’s for sure.  And I wasn’t in Podunk either.

I also mentioned to Van Jones’ secretary that of course Melody Barnes had also gone to UNC, but since I was being nice, I didn’t mention that she never even bothered to show up for rallies (I suppose they would have interfered with sorority parties).  By the way none of the above staffers, who I also contacted, ever helped me or called me back either, nor did any other appropriate White House staff, including those in the first lady’s office.

As you can see from my proposal table of contents, it also deals with the issue of organic gardening, which was endorsed even under Bush’s USDA by the Secretary of the agency, who filled me in on what grants were available for some of the more interesting things I had in mind and gave me the right numbers and right things to say to kick ass in New York State to get the right help I needed.   Unlike Mrs. Obama however, I understand that one has to get the soil tested first and organic certification of the soil one grows crops in before blithely announcing that one’s garden is “organic.”  Which is why I spent significant time chasing down the soil testers for my district in preparation for the project.

It’s not the stupidest thing Michelle Obama has said or done in public but growing toxic waste on the White House lawn and calling it caviar comes pretty close.But nobody calls her on it.  Why?  Because they’re afraid of calling an ignorant, corrupt, spoiled bitch a dumbass.  And don’t even get me started on the military family issue or why she hasn’t hired a single person with a disability to HER staff.

You see what two Ivy League degrees get you?  And how overrated they are?  Not to mention how overrated she is?

I called back several months later, having heard nothing at all, even though I had sent several emails alerting Van Jones on the process I was making.

Nothing.

I finally got fed up and called the secretary back and informed her that if I didn’t hear back from Van Jones within a certain time period (I think I gave him a week) he would be guilty of violating the 1973 Rehab Act (my proposal is the only one in the country that also includes a detailed road map of how to rehabilitate people with TBI back into the workforce, and according to the Centers of Excellence on TBI at the Pentagon, the leading center in the country on the topic for both veterans and civilians, I am way ahead of them AS AN AGENCY), which means that the entire federal government and all of the states are out of compliance with a major civil rights law.  Which also means class action liability as in Jane Doe vs. the United States. Oh, and did I forget to tell you that while at the ACLU, the organization was instrumental in drafting and passing the Americans with Disabilities Act (or ADA for short) into law, so I’m very familiar with both the legislation itself, the government version, called the Rehab Act of 1973, and case law in all of the interesting federal circuits because I’m in my second year of waiting for the federal EEOC to get back to me in “investigating” my own very illegal termination from a six figure highly technical job that is not even in question that it was illegal, and very well documented on numerous claims, from a major Wall Street bank, who got instant injections of billions of dollars (twice) for screwing the world’s economy, but I’m still waiting for justice.  And can’t find a job because I’ve developed a second and now visible disability because I went two years without healthcare.  My first disability, from a childhood conk on the head, is a condition called TBI, which is why I’m so familiar with it, and am so concerned about our veterans and civilians who are left by the outrageous oversight of the government who care more about the million dollar salaries of Wall Street bankers who knew they were breaking the law, than people who have real needs but no way of getting help.  Any kind of help.  Medical, rehabilitation, the right kind of medication to take, the right kind of jobs to look for, what kinds of adaptive technology help, etc.  But in my case never stopped me from overachieving both academically and professionally from a very early age.

Not to mention that disability as an issue is one that needs to be addressed as a civil rights issue and an economic one.  NOW.  Just supporting the 90% of people with disabilities who are kept out of the workforce, thanks to government policies that redline this community and keep us in legalized slavery and poverty, and the discrimination of private employers to hire us costs the U.S. government in disability payments alone the cost of the entire U.S. deficit BEFORE the crash.  That is twenty percent of the entire U.S. population we are talking about. And one that Obama seems intent on ignoring or indeed making the situation even worse, despite his rhetorical flourishes on the topic and his high profile token appointments.  He’s an appalling hypocrite.

But that’s the cost of discrimination THAT YOU PAY FOR for torturing a population twice the size of the African American population and in far worse shape.  And far more discriminated against.  But African American civil rights lawyers in particular don’t seem to give a flying f*ck about.

Starting with Obama.

And don’t give me “oh but he nominated Sotomayor.”

Try checking out his appalling nomination of the fourth circuit appeals judge who’s ruled in favor of only ONE plaintiff in a disability employment case in fourteen years on the bench and even ruled against a plaintiff that actually made it to trial because of an EEOC mistake.  Which is illegal.   The Senate just confirmed the bastard, thereby undoing the intent of the redo of the ADA last year.  All that’s required for a complete reversal of the law in the fourth circuit until this man’s death is full Congressional approval.

Thanks Obama, you raging hypocrite.  You have absolutely no intention of helping this community.  Other than showing up and signing pieces of paper which mean absolutely nothing.

In the meantime, no call from Van Jones.  No email either.

So until an incident that happened two weeks ago, in a direct and beyond outrageous confrontation with Organizing for America, which is about to hit this blog very soon (as soon as my lawyer vets it), if not the national media, I was planning on adding this violation to a very long and growing list of civil rights violations committed by the overprivileged, racist, sexist, ignorant, egotistical, and frankly stupid, mostly buppy twits (although the white people are just as bad) that the President, who shares the same traits, has hired to staff his administration with.

To call Van Jones’ departure anything other than what it is – good riddance for bad rubbish, or perhaps Obama throwing another pawn under the bus because he has absolutely no loyalty to anyone but himself, is either blithering idiocy or undermining what the word racism really means.

And hurting those who still really suffer from it.

Not to mention those who suffer from any kind of discrimination.  Which the White House has absolutely no interest in dealing with except for those who are black and rich, with Ivy League Degrees, second homes in exclusive summer vacation spots and friends of the president, preferably from Harvard.

In other words, those least affected.

Van Jones is a puffed up, overbearing, elitist, racist, sexist, and ignorant twit who should never have been hired in the first place, simply because of a lack of Washington experience.  Let alone the other stuff.

There are a long line of White House staffers who share the same traits who should be preparing their “go home” boxes to follow him out the door.

To call him a victim of racism or Glenn Beck’s ridiculous charges (so what if he signed some stupid petition or called the United States some bad names, we certainly deserve them for our appalling behavior, or had some questions about what kind of economic system works best…..these are the marks of a questioning if immature mind…at least it shows it works….even if it reaches the wrong conclusions), is as stupid as most of the liberal charges against conservatives these days.

Quite frankly, given what’s going on at Treasury and the Fed, the future of capitalism is still up for debate, and nobody has the answers yet.  With Obama trying to cover up the real cost of the bank bailout when the bank that benefited the most was his biggest Wall Street backer during the campaign.  And I’m not even going to discuss the appalling secret memo on healthcare deform.  Does the man have no common or economic sense or is he just immoral?

For the Democrats to keep covering up such immoral and stupid behavior by using such trite responses and justifying or failing to take action to sanction blatant and rampant corruption that has infected the party at the national level all the way down to the local level like the plague, will only lead to their defeat.  And while I don’t want to live in a country run by Republicans, that’s where we’re headed.  And I have absolutely no connection with most people who call themselves Democrats these days.  Because they’re selfish, out to lunch, ill informed, mean, stupid or corrupt.  And have absolutely no interest in helping anyone less fortunate than themselves.  My own family is a perfect example.  Here I am on the brink of disaster and nobody will help me, and worse, blames me for the situation I’m in.  My aunt, a fundraiser for Clinton in North Carolina, even gave me a lecture (with no clue about the real state of disability issues or national politics or even the disabilities I have, much less cares that the government has taken twice as long as it should have to get to my case or that I went without healthcare for an extremely painful disability caused by the appalling actions of my ex employer, gave me a lecture last night on how this was both my own fault and I’m responsible for my own actions.  Right.  With every single government agency, from the feds on down discriminating against me for the last two years, developing a second disability that gets me called retard in public, and living in a city where the Mayor has effectively limited the number of jobs given to gimps (in a city of 8 million people) to 400 positions in city jobs.  And affordable housing set asides to 2% for a population that is 20% of the population.  Which has gone DOWN thanks to his and Donovan’s policies, because according to Bloomberg, and unfortunately right in line with Obama, New York is for Rich People.

Do I have to remind them of what is inscribed on the Statue of Liberty?  Or that discrimination is still real against women, minorities and people with disabilities?  Particularly in the industry the political elite just bailed out first and most generously.  And are giving the majority of the bailout money to.

Give me a break.  While using taxpayer dollars as their own personal piggy bank and breaking laws with impunity.

Again, I have to point to this story on Fox, because this really is the perfect solution for solving the Rangel problem of Democrats not paying their taxes, and even given, in Rangel’s case, a break on his fines by who else but Timothy Turbo Tax himself.

What the hell are they thinking?  That they are above the law?  Keep going like this and we’re going to end up with Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh in the Oval Office for sure.

If not throwing all the bums out of office.  On both sides of the aisle.  Because trust me, the Republicans are even worse.

When you serve in public office you are supposed to set an example, not suck off the teat of the taxpayer while collecting bribes to vote against their best interests.  You are supposed to not discriminate.  You are there to serve a constituency and protect their interests.

Where did the Democrats lose the way?  Why are the African American elite so clueless?

My personal feeling is that they are suffering the disease of first generation wealth and power and because they’re aping their white blue blooded forebears.

I’m sorry but we don’t need any more cliques or elitists in Washington.  I didn’t fight for your rights so you could screw me over.  Or anyone else for that matter.  That’s not what affirmative action was ever meant to be for.

That’s part of the problem right there.  These are the first generation of very privileged buppies who have forgotten how hard the fights were for their equal rights, don’t care about other people, even other African Americans who didn’t get the breaks they did, and how many people, both black and white, fought for their rights, only to trample on everyone else’s once they get into power.  They are cliquish, sexist, racist and despite what Obama said about opening the White House, love the fact that now they have the keys to the kingdom, don’t intend to share it or reform it.  However corrupt and immoral it is.

A culture as I recall Obama ran on a platform to change.

But it’s a disease that infects the entire Democratic Party and Washington culture in general.  The Republicans were lost many generations ago.  And that’s why the Democrats are going to lose unless they shape up and return to the core values that made this the party of the workers and justice.  Not one of corporations and kingmakers.

Because all the Republicans have to do is keep poking holes in the outrageous conflicts of interest that Obama keeps perpetuating and the stupidity of his staff.  Axelrod and Rambo included.

Or maybe the Democrats never knew what it meant to represent the real hoi polloi.  If you look at the great reformers of this country they were all from inherited wealth, no matter the party, and thus had to depend on no corporate donor and thus could not be bought out.

With Nancy Pelosi refusing to remove Rangel from his leadership position of one of the most influential committees in the House for flagrantly cheating on his taxes, breaking housing law in New York City, which is facing a housing crisis of forty year proportions thanks to the actions of HUD Secretary Donovan in his last gig and our current Mayor (and Rangel could easily afford to pay market price for any apartment in the city), not to mention outrageous wasting of bailout funds that are going to programs that are under indictment or being sued, as in New York by multiple class action lawsuits over gross violations of civil rights abuses, fraud and other violations, the Democrats are proving that they are not only out to lunch, but arrogant, elitist and completely out of touch.

And greedy to boot.

With a for sale sign in front of the DNC that would compete with any whore house in Amsterdam’s red light districts.

And Murtha, Feinstein and Waters and many other Democrats on both sides of the aisle brazenly creating earmarks for relatives and family members and complaining that TARP creates benchmarks too high for their relatives to participate in the piggy trough.  While never questioning the issue of TARP itself.  Or demanding a full accounting of the President’s actions to cover up the real cost of bailing out the banks without forcing them to pay back the entire cost of what the U.S. government gave them for screwing up.

And finally of course, there’s the good ol’ commander in chief, who even as a U.S. Senator wrote earmarks for the University of Chicago where his wife AND Valerie Jarrett worked (and Michelle got a $200K raise as a result), who outsourced business to David Axelrod in the process, while engaging in some horrific patient dumping schemes, and who is even now negotiating future business deals for himself (see the Olympic games effort in where else, but Chicago, his home town, the year he conveniently plans to get out of office) being negotiated from the White House itself.

Obama has the corporate seal of approval tattooed firmly and clearly on his ass.  And worse doesn’t care that people see it.  He has made his stance very clear by his actions that he’s for corporate America over the people he ran to represent.

How else do you explain a man who can spend $35,000 on a one week vacation home and sell out the poorest people in America?  While covering up the true cost of bailing out the banks and giving all the best cleantech dollars to corporate America and his presidential advisors, putting people like the head corporate counsel for GE (the worst environmental polluter in the US second only to the U.S. government) in charge of prosecuting environmental crimes at Justice, and continuing to give out bailout money to firms who have continually broken securities law, environmental law and federal criminal fraud.  Corporations like Google, GE and GM, and some of whom are on his advisory boards.

And for a very interesting look at GE’s priorities, take a look at this recently leaked memo from the company and then question why the president is doing business with such companies in a “new era of personal responsibility” to quote the hypocrite in chief directly, much less giving them money at all.  And guess who GE are partnered with to get even more money from healthcare.  One of the worst perps in the pharma business.  Not to mention Google.

While people who serve jail terms have problem getting a job.  And Obama has done jack for these people, who are mostly African American men.  Or for that matter anybody else in America who isn’t on his crony list.

So for these people to in ANY way cry “racism” when the Republicans occasionally fire an arrow and it hits a direct bullseye, and trust me, these days, it’s not that hard to do, because the Democrats might as well have sold out any values they ever pretended to have or concern about their constituents to the corporations who fund them.  I wonder sometimes if the Democrats even know what the word constituent actually means.

Corporatism and incompetence would be far better terms.  Or “there goes another one Obama just pushed under the bus.”

Use them instead if you’re ever at a loss for words to explain Van Jones’ departure.

And as for Van Jones?

Ta Ta.

Tough Luck.

You deserved it, you dumb son of a bitch.

And don’t let the door hit you on the ass on your way out the door of the White House.

Obama’s Voodoo Economics and Lies on Healthcare Part I

Yet again the great Liar In Chief has attempted to convince Congress (who don’t need much convincing anyway since they’re on the take to begin with and have luxury health insurance for free paid for by guess who…YOU), and the American public who in general is pretty ignorant about the economics of healthcare and healthcare provision around the world, that HIS solution is the perfect Rx.

Since naturally his Brilliance in Chief is never wrong, despite many examples already of massive “oops”, and unforgivable blunders, his healthcare plan, far from what he promised on the campaign, MUST be the right path to take, despite the many conflicts of interest and problems it contains, skips, omits and the lies it blatantly makes.

And certainly not to be taken at face value from a man who praises an agency like the VA for the “excellent care” it provides after just exposing if not infecting 20,000 vets with unsterilized colonoscopies after not following basic hygienic procedure, with both HIV and Hepatitis C, creating in a single stroke half the casualties of the entire Vietnam War.

Not to mention being married to a woman who narrowly escaped, along with Valerie Jarrett, the so-called “other side of his brain” (good god, I hate to think what’s on the other half) being charged with criminal charges of patient dumping back home in Chicago.  Right after being removed by federal court order for mismanaging one of the worst slums in Chicago.  In other words a slumlord of the first order, who ripped off the poor in the worst possible way, so she could send HER daughter to Harvard.  Isn’t that a lovely story?  The woman is a criminal, but then again, it makes her right at home in the current administration.

While Obama’s right that healthcare, as it is now, is a drain on the economy, Obama is wrong that a complete overhaul is not necessary.  The system is hopelessly broken and there is no band aid big enough to fix it, no matter how large a section of the GDP it is.  For one thing, that’s part of the problem.  And for another, that’s Summers or Orzag talking and naturally should be automatically dismissed as pure garbage and Wall Street drivel.  The secret memo negotiated by Obama and the pharmas doesn’t even come close to solving the problem, especially since people who rely on social security won’t be seeing a cost of living raise for at least the next couple of years.  While the cost of pharmaceuticals is about to go through the stratosphere.  Thanks to the screw-ups of guess who and his superior secret negotiation skills.  Which suck.

Obama never once mentioned the donut hole problem (the deal doesn’t even come close), how he will come up with a formula to “reimburse” people so they don’t go broke, and never once mentioned people with disabilities as people who he had talked to or consulted about the reform of healthcare, people who depend the MOST on medical care for most of their lives.  And are most vulnerable to drug prices, government policies on treatments, and the appalling way we are treated in general.

Good going there asshole.  And shows exactly what you think of us.  And how you intend to treat us, no matter how much lip flap to the contrary or the few token appointments you’ve made.

It’s a typical Obama oversight, because as usual, we’re off the radar.  And as usual, he treats us like shit.  That’s when he thinks of us at all that is, and that’s when he wipes his feet on us, like doormats.  Or uses us as convenient tokens to prove what a progressive guy he really is.  If he had indeed listened to people with disabilities he would definitely have come up with both a better solution and a better speech.  But Obama doesn’t give a flying f*ck about real problems, much less this community.

He’d rather just focus on the easy stuff because ultimately this is a no-brainer for anyone with an education and an international perspective.

But to Obama this is “complex.”  So he takes the easy route and sells everyone with real problems down the river or shuts them away in a closet.  After all if you don’t see a problem, or deliberately turn your head away, it doesn’t exist.  Right?  That’s twenty percent of the country, you asshole.  Most of whom live in poverty thanks to government policies which have created that problem, and redline us into the shittiest possible jobs, when they are available that is, that don’t provide health insurance, so they’re not really an option.  Thus dooming us to permanent poverty, misery and wasted lives.  And substandard healthcare.  Which you don’t give a shit about because it doesn’t affect YOU.  Which after all, is the only thing that counts.  Right?

For that alone you’re an asshole beyond description, particularly because the proposal I submitted to the White House months ago, but is sitting ignored, prescribes the perfect Rx to the problem.  But real healthcare reform is also part of the equation.  And you are definitely not doing your part.

One of the reasons Obama’s reforms are so weak is that he’s a pawn of Wall Street.  Correction.  Their stooge.  Remember they make big bucks off of healthcare too.  They hold annual summits on it because it’s such a money maker.   It’s one of their most profitable industries.  So right there, your automatic red light warning buzzer should be flashing, and all the buzzers in the building going off.  RED ALERT.  HAZARDOUS MATERIAL COMING THROUGH.

That’s part of the problem right there.  It shouldn’t be that big a portion of our economy.  Just like the financial sector.  But apparently Obama is blind to that too, despite his promises to reign in Wall Street, which haven’t appeared yet, expect the same kind of crap.

Doctors, and I can hear the boos already, should not be making such huge salaries.  Medical schools should not be so expensive.  That is a direct result of a government directive by the way, made in the late part of the nineteenth century, to deliberately keep doctor’s fees high, make the profession “respectable” and keep “undesirables” out of the industry.  Spelled WOMEN.  Malpractice insurance shouldn’t cost a fortune either (but wouldn’t be if doctors were more competent or on the pay of the drug industry and there were more of them to provide proper care, which there would be if medical school weren’t so expensive), and the president hadn’t just given the pharma industry a giant bone and refused to do what the government does with every other industry it does business with (even the Pentagon buys tanks at bulk discount rates), and negotiate bulk wholesale rates for product it buys for pharmaceuticals.  If the Pentagon can negotiate price breaks for tanks and weapons of death, why can’t we get bulk discounts on medicine?

There’s something very wrong with this picture here, namely that the pharma industry pledged the President, in exchange for YOUR health, an additional $150 million in campaign contributions and to promote his agenda.  THAT IS DISGUSTING.  Obama is putting his own political future over the nation’s health.  Think about that when you see that bastard’s face on TV again and feel free to pelt it with rotten tomatoes.  Not to mention him, if you ever come close enough to do it in person.

Not to mention that the President’s deal creates a protectionist domestic monopoly with some of the most corrupt and lawbreaking companies on the face of the planet.  An act, if you remember from the campaign Obama promised not to do.  And if you don’t remember, here it is again.

But like the hypocritical motherf*cker our Prez has turned out to be, and in record breaking time since taking the oath of office, this is just the latest in the trail of broken promises he’s tossed out the window like they meant nothing (except to get him elected).  That’s why I’m so pissed off.  You don’t lie to get into office.  And you don’t create hocus pocus voodoo economics that screw the people who elected you to make corporations even richer for your own benefit.  And will make future reforms even more difficult to accomplish.

Because trust me, this disaster is headed for a deep precipice on a highway to hell at light speed that will blindside the dipshit in chief and all his other self congratulatory idiots on staff who think they are geniuses, but apparently are blind to the giant holes, mistakes, underestimates and miscalculations they are making and are playing political games and one upmanship crap with something they need to keep their paws off of.

That means YOU Rambo.

Or maybe not.  They just don’t care.  They’re all millionaires so whichever way this goes, they won’t get hurt.  It’s just everyone else that will.

Which is even worse.

There is a difference in political compromise and political sellout.  Obama has apparently never learned to tell the difference.  Very few bills make it through Congress or any legislature for that matter without compromise.  This proposition is an outright cave in however and a huge payoff for the very industry it’s supposed to regulate at the expense of the American people it’s supposed to protect and doing exactly the opposite of what it was supposed to do in the first place.

In its current form what the president has just proposed is, overall, a disaster, and will create pain and suffering, not to mention extend the unemployment rate, the economic malaise, flat salaries, the jobless recovery, mortgage defaults, and pull even more money out of people’s pockets in the name of “reform.”  Because after all the president has to “win” something, right?

Even if it is a crock of shit.  Which is exactly what this proposal outlined in the president’s speech to Congress really is.

But let me positive and start with the good stuff because it’s not ALL bad.

Just most of it.

The good part:

1. Insurance companies will no longer be able to drop you for a pre-existing condition or deny new patients coverage because of them.  That’s good.

2. Insurance companies will no longer be able to create a cap on coverage per year or per lifetime.  Also good.

3. I don’t know how on earth the President expects the insurance companies to pick up the costs of Mammograms and other expensive preventive health exams, like MRIs for example, for people with neurological conditions for free, but I’m sure there’s a catch in there somewhere, and it makes me very suspicious.  And whenever the president mentions anything to do with colonoscopies, given what just happened down at the VA, I of course get very nervous.  At my previous job, where I had gold plated insurance, mammograms and MRI’s cost no more than a $15 co-pay.  So I’m not sure what the hell he’s talking about except that all insurance programs will have to offer the same kind of benefit that a Wall Street bank with 50,000 employees offered.  And I’m not sure that’s either feasible or that the government can afford to pay for it unless Obama raises taxes, and if he is, this is not the right way or place to do it.

The bad part:

1.  What will the price be for comprehensive insurance, and co-pays?  No details yet.  That’s bad.  What are the tiers on offer and what are the difference?  The idea of tiered healthcare to begin with is disgusting in the first place.  You don’t deserve better healthcare if you are rich.

2    There’s no language in how much or how fast insurance companies can raise rates.  That’s bad.  Aetna, for example, raised rates by 50% in one year alone in 2001 while dumping one third of its sickest patients.  It means the sicker you are, the broker you get, which means you can’t afford the healthcare you have, so even under the new plan they may not dump you, but you might have to cut them loose because you can’t afford them.   That’s a little nasty lawyerly bait and switch I don’t like.  And a loophole which doesn’t solve the problem.  It means the sicker you are, the worse healthcare you get, which is not a solution to the problem.

3. The president is creating a tiered health system, which is not fair, right or correct.  In fact it’s illegal.  Under the 1973 Rehabiliation Act, and the ADA, people with disabilities have the right to the same quality and access of services, particularly healthcare, as the able bodied do.  It’s not a matter of price.  In fact neither the ADA or the Rehab Act mention price as a matter of equal access.   But a tiered medical system based on price requires and is based on it.  However, because of rampant discrimination, which the president has actually only increased (like leaving out PWDs as “minorities” in the SBA Stim Bill passed earlier this year, allowing us extra opportunity for grants, loans and government procurement opportunities, just like veterans with disabilities, women and minorities have), and just nominating one of the most appalling judges I could possibly imagine to the fourth circuit appeals court, who was just approved by the Senate (unbelievably, who didn’t seem to realize this was undoing the gains they won with the passage of the updated ADA last year), not to mention has not exactly been terribly progressive (read appalling) in his own hiring policies (ONE person in the White House with a disability….come on), and that’s just for starters, he is continuing to create a situation where people with disabilities will both be kept out of the workforce due to high health insurance costs that employers don’t want to pay and rampant discrimination and thus kept in horrific living conditions and poverty.  Which costs the government (i.e. YOU) the equivalent of the national debt every year.  Just in disability payments alone.  With substandard medical care to boot.

If Obama thinks Medicaid, or for that matter the medical care provided by the VA is so great, I suggest he sign his family up and give it a whirl.  After all, leadership is leadership by example.  Not saying “I’ll take the good stuff, since I’m a genius Messiah and naturally more gifted and special than you, and therefore deserve to be treated like a King and you guys take the crap since naturally you deserve it because you’re inferior to the great superior being that is me.”  Which is exactly what he’s been doing.  Unfortunately for Obama’s outrageous sense of entitlement, we don’t have kings in this country.  We have presidents.  So, where’s that Medicaid application with your name on it, asshole?  And why don’t you try living without proper treatment for a very painful disability that Medicaid refuses to pay for, caused by an industry you just bailed out in the TRILLIONS of dollars, but don’t give a shit how many people they hurt in the process.  Including physically maiming and disfiguring them, while the EEOC takes its own sweet time in investigating their cases.  Like TWO YEARS AND COUNTING.  I guess I don’t count right, because I’m not rich, a crony, a woman and I’m white.

Your attitude is appalling.  Bail out the banks and corporate America and fuck everyone else.  Way to go on spreading the wealth around.  So far you get an F-.  With no sign of improvement in sight.

The disabilities community is a population that is 20% of the population (twice as large as the African American Community and indeed includes many minorities) and 90% unemployed, mostly due to rampant discrimination, hostility to the laws that protect us by the judiciary, refusal to enforce the law, and employers who do not hire us.  Including the state and federal government.  You can forget about the private sector.  They don’t hire us at all.  The cost of keeping so many people OUT of the workforce, and trust me, most want to work, is equivalent to the national debt before the crash in disability payments alone.  And that’s just to keep people in poverty.  It doesn’t count housing, which is appalling, transportation, medical care or any other benefit.  It’s a stupid idea and a stupid policy.  And an appalling price to pay, on everyone’s part for discrimination that makes Obama look worse than Bull Conner.

Since I’ve been reduced to poverty from a six figure salary, and my 401K eviscerated while waiting for the EEOC to investigate my case, I do qualify for Medicaid, but it does not cover the treatments I need for example (massage for continually contracting muscles is considered “luxury” treatment even though it is recommended treatment and it will insure that my muscles remain supple and my circulation does not get cut off, for a rare condition that apparently the geniuses over there at HHS have never heard of, which naturally means it doesn’t exist (all they have to do is look at another government website called NORD or National Organization for Rare Disorders to find out that indeed the condition does exist and regular massage is highly recommended) and therefore isn’t covered by Medicaid.  I’ve already had to ask for two overrides this year just for my pharma bill which runs approximately six grand a month, thanks to a government created monopoly, and misguided drug policy.  On top of the other many other needless, time wasting, stress causing battles I’ve had to fight this year.  Which are terrible for my dystonia in particular, and take huge amounts of valuable time away from what I should really be doing, which is trying to find a job.

I can’t even get legal aid and have had to defend myself in most cases because pro bono legal aid is non existent anymore.  And nobody considers gimps worth defending.  And certainly not for free.  Let them go homeless, live on the street, go live in homeless shelters, lock them up in institutions.  That’s really the best solution isn’t it, right?  God you are an asshole.  I regret the day I voted for you.  Then again what choices did I have?  I assumed that a black man with a progressive agenda, at least on paper, wouldn’t turn out to be a hypocritical, greedy, self interested, elitist, sexist, racist, classist, pathological liar.

Silly me.

Obama’s Voodoo Economics and Lies on Healthcare Part II

4. The so called co-op plan which the president is pushing, a complete cave in on his promises on the campaign, over the no cost, single payer or public option, the last of which is stupid, and the middle one a poor compromise.   This is a complete cop out and will cost consumers more and deliver less.  The cheaper the insurance the higher the co-pay, with no brakes on drug prices because the president just gave up the right for the government to negotiate or regulate drug prices, giving one of the most corrupt industries on the planet an exemption no other industry in America gets.  And in the process failing to set a national benchmark and a regulated industry and pricing schedule, which will negatively affect everyone, even those on private insurance.  Coops are proven to be a failure, except maybe that created for Congress (for obvious reasons) and do not have the kind of negotiating clout of the U.S. government.  But hey, it’s going to create a killing for the pharmas and Wall Street, which is the real objective here, right?

Stupid asshole.

That this particular piece of the deal is a political ploy for money to fund Democratic elections in 2010 and 2012, and a windfall for Obama personally after he leaves office, is why it’s even more disgusting.  It also completely, as usual, leaves out the disabilities community, which tend to have to take more and spend more on pharmaceuticals, and medical care in general, and tend to live in poverty (90% of the community does, which is twenty percent of the country).  With the minimal amount kicked in by the pharmas and no price controls, these numbers in the deal memo are meaningless.  They don’t even come close to the fines the industry has had to pay over the last decade or so for killing people, committing fraud, hiding evidence of dangerous side effects from government agencies, and over billing the government.  Pfizer alone just had to pay $2.8 billion after being caught red-handed in the act.  Why doesn’t the president see he is both dooming this initiative to failure and committing a large portion of the American public to death sentences they don’t deserve?

For one reason it’s because he’s not affected.  And naturally, anything that doesn’t affect Obama, doesn’t matter.  He’s a self centered, narcissistic twit who thinks the world revolves around him.  Exactly the WRONG elements you want in a leader.  And surrounded himself with people who think and act the same way he does.  And are just as corrupt and incompetent.  As I said in my last post about Van Jones, expect more to follow him out the door.  Another one just did.  And justifiably so.  Why I’ll have to explain in another post, coming soon.  But it wasn’t Beck that was responsible.  It was Obama.  Again, you’ll have to wait for the rationale coming soon.

Last year alone, two major drug manufacturers raised prices on their most popular drugs by 44% and 70% respectively.  For relatively innocuous drugs.  For people with rare diseases, or even neurological conditions, this is an absolute disaster.  Of course, as usual, the president wasn’t thinking about us gimps.  As mentioned before, he didn’t even bother to consult us about healthcare reform since we’re so unimportant and meaningless pieces of meat.  And our opinions don’t mean anything since we’re stupid, meaningless, retards and worthless.  And certainly not people you want to be associated with, much less consult on policy.  That’s left up to the over privileged Obama clique who’ve never dealt with the issue in their lives and thus don’t know what the hell they are talking about.  Not to mention own stock in the very industries they are supposed to be regulating.  Or intend to move into them as soon as their Washington careers are over.

Obama, just like the rest of Washington, and indeed most able bodied Americans, treats us like doormats or convenient tokens, when he thinks about us at all that is.  Which is about once in a blue moon.  He is in general ignorant about healthcare policy in ways that make Reagan look like a genius.  (And no that is NOT a compliment).  Obama even opposes free needle exchange programs, which is why the language in the “secret deal” is worded the way it is, in the face of a global AIDS pandemic (staring him in the face it’s so out of control in DC alone at the moment) a Hepatitis epidemic and a Crystal Meth problem that is out of control nationally which most addicts use needles to inject.  Save the sanctimonious bullshit about drug addiction, when Obama can’t even stop smoking himself.  Addiction, as has been proved, time and time again, is actually the sign of an untreated disability, usually a mental one, that has gone untreated.  The inability to stop smoking, for example, has been linked to several major mental illnesses, from bipolar illness to depression and schizophrenia.  Think about that Obama, you mighty hypocrite, as you bum another cigarette in secret while mouthing off in complete ignorance even as professing his self proclaimed brilliance to everyone who will listen.  I’m so disgusted I’ve just turned him off.  He’s either congenitally stupid or hopelessly corrupt.

Why is he so stupidly against such programs when they’ve been proven to cut down on rates of infection in ALL blood born diseases?  They cut into medical device makers’ company profits.  Like GE for example.  And you wouldn’t want to do that now would you?  Especially since they’ve gotten a hell of a lot of government money in very lucrative fields, including cleantech, defense, IT, medical equipment R&D and the list goes on ad nauseum.  Which is beyond appalling.  For the corporate conservatives who oppose welfare for the poor, I hate to remind you of your favorite saying.  There’s no free lunch in America and that goes for you too.  From now on, you should be on your own, and pay for your own damn lunch yourself.  And let the money you’ve been getting go to others who need it far more than you.  Especially given your own record, in the case of GE, of being the nation’s largest polluter, second only to the U.S. government, which is going to cost even more taxpayer dollars to fix.

But Obama’s loyalty and continued blank check writing to these assholes, among other corporate perps, shows where Obama’s real loyalties lie.  Screw the American people as a whole, much less the people who voted for him, and stamp another corporate logo on his ass for his own personal benefit.  He doesn’t give a crap about you.  He only cares about himself.

Healthcare reform isn’t rocket science.  And Obama’s plan, as outlined in his speech before Congress, also isn’t real reform.  Oh, and the government “subsidies” still undefined, and still with no clue how to pay for, to help out those who can’t afford insurance, only takes effect in four years time, which means you have to suffer for ANOTHER FOUR YEARS with outlandish prices for healthcare AND unregulated or unnegotiated drug prices which are about to go through the roof, since the government has gotten out of the oversight business and given up its right to negotiate drug prices. Or go without healthcare at all because you can’t afford it.  In a crappy economy which is still losing jobs, foreclosures are still on the rise and most economists are predicting a jobless recovery for well over a decade.  While Obama gave Wall Street $23 Trillion of your money to insure that they could maintain their million dollar lives.  And of course both fund his re-election and his post Presidential career.  So this means absolutely nothing despite what Obama is promising about low cost health coverage.  Much less real “reform.”  There are no details about the cost and quality of the coverage provided or the copays and costs involved

5.    Requiring individuals to carry insurance is ridiculous as it is essentially a tax without calling it that.  Rather than do so, why not just adopt what every other industrialized and civilized country in the Western World has done, and provide free health insurance for all by RAISING TAXES FOR IT through progressive taxation.  That is what taxes are for, as much as Americans hate the word.  If you are so concerned about wasted tax money, try looking over at the Pentagon.  They just wasted $200 Billion on a program started under Reagan and continued under Bush II that was derided by its critics as “Star Wars” – a missile defense system that still doesn’t work.  One program.  $200 Billion.  The amount of the entire domestic bailout costs the same as one year in Afghanistan.  I started lobbying Congress to kill the F-22 in the early 1990’s and the damn program and plane are still around.  If you want to kill wasted tax dollars, start with the Pentagon first.  But since there’s obviously also waste and abuse in government healthcare, appoint the head of the Medicaid and Medicare offices, which Obama has STILL not done (again a big bone to the pharmas) which even Congress is questioning who will undoubtedly turn up even more embarrassing questions and outrageous fraud, that will embarrass the President even further about his unquestioning faith in the pharmas and his big giveaways to them.  At this point, given their track record of waste, fraud, abuse and murder, they should be paying US, not the other way around, for the right to do business, a situation the president wants to avoid at all costs because it will undercut his authority and his stupid assumptions, not to mention his convenient deals on the side for extra capital for himself and the DNC.  But that way, everyone pays their fair share of income and everyone gets the same quality of care.  Unfortunately, despite the lip flap, that’s never been on Obama’s agenda to begin with.  He wants a stratified society, with himself, naturally at the top.  That way he can live in the illusion that he’s superior to the rest of the planet and satisfy that giant ego that’s driving the rest of us into bankruptcy and making our lives hell.

One of the biggest pharma companies in the world is already subsidizing the British Medical System, for which the British pay taxes to support, but get all services completely free.  But American citizens pay the cost of supporting through overpriced drugs and outrageous insurance premiums and lax government oversight.  Doesn’t that make sense to you?   Doesn’t it strike you as a bit unfair?  Doesn’t it completely eviscerate, like with an atom bomb the “socialization” of medical coverage argument that has been astroturfed by the drug companies themselves who know exactly that this is what has been happening all along?  And that the same drug company funds research in the U.S. that also just happens to influence public policy and doctor’s decisions on what and how to medicate diseases?  Along with bribing Congress about which way to vote on healthcare reform?

6. Removing private insurance companies completely or forcing out all but the most competitive out of business, will simplify the system, reduce the overhead (called reducing the price, bureaucracy and paperwork), and drive out the cost and need of the middleman, who don’t need to be in business to begin with and only add to the overall price of healthcare.  In a changing paradigm shift that is the U.S. economy today, some industries have to go.  Sorry guys, this time it’s your turn.  Given your record, you deserve it.  Bye bye.  Tough luck.  Time’s up.  Goodbye, bon voyage and fuck off.

7. The appalling deal that the president struck with the pharma companies on July 7, in secret, that essentially makes everyone’s pharma bills go through the roof.  This is the most appalling and irresponsible thing I could ever imagine anybody could possibly do, and typical of a greedy bastard who only thinks about himself.  Exhibit A:  Obama.  It does not consider those who need ongoing and expensive medication for most of their lives (not just the elderly), it creates a protectionist monopoly market, and stifles innovation, while preventing Americans from buying overseas, and foreign companies from entering the U.S. marketplace, further pissing off the global community, which doesn’t need any help right now.  They’re pissed enough already, and deservedly so.  The U.S. has acted like a bully for years (don’t shout at me, call me a Commie pinko or anything so preposterous).  Anyone with a decent education in foreign affairs will know that not only has the U.S. acted like a bully overseas ever since the Cold War, undermining democratically elected governments all over the world that it just doesn’t like, or interferes with U.S. business interests (like say propping up the Shah in Iran to protect American oil company profits), but also forcing the rest of the world to convert to our financial system too.

Which is why the economic disaster in 2008 affected the GLOBAL economy, and why world leaders are so pissed off.  And unwilling to either help the U.S. domestically or commit troops to Afghanistan.  Then again in the latter situation they are not stupid either.  They learned their history lessons long ago, and have no interest in relearning the lessons that the British learnt twice and the Russians once, that you don’t invade some of the most treacherous and remote terrain in the world, destroy crops people live on (and not just for the illegal drug trade), and expect to win.  It’s also something the U.S. should have learned by now.  It’s called called Vietnam at a much higher altitude.  Unfortunately the geniuses at the U.S. national security complex don’t learn their lessons after repeated bloody noses and unnecessary deaths.  And repeatedly send young and poor kids to die for stupid reasons.  Or treat the ones who return in less than one piece like shit when they get home.  Or in the wars we are currently fighting, even in the field.  Leading to an unparalleled suicide rate among active service personnel that even DoD can’t ignore anymore or sweep under the rug.

Lack of serious healthcare reform hampers consumer spending on other sectors of the economy which desperately need a boost right now and will speed up the process of the transition to a new cleantech, low carbon economy.  In other words, the whole thing is economically suicidal.  For the sole sake of making profits for the pharmas and Wall Street and creating a slush fund for the DNC and Obama himself.  Two of the most corrupt industries in need of severe punishment, regulation, reform and oversight that the president simply refuses to do.  And to support a party that is so corrupt, and refuses to deal with it, that it stinks to high heaven, like road kill on a Texas Highway, left there for a week.  I’m appalled that a party I’ve always voted for could ever have sunk this low.

In addition, the president has given the U.S. pharmas an even sweeter deal, by allowing THEM to partner with overseas drug companies, mark up prices and then sell these drugs to the American consumer.  This is ridiculous and only benefits corporate pharmaceutical companies and hurts the average American.  Given the record of the pharma industry, they hardly deserve to be rewarded.  Hit over the head with a baseball bat is more like it.  And regulated up the kazoo.  With major concessions on drug prices which are ridiculously overinflated.  Especially considering that the government has funded R&D for the same drugs these companies are now overcharging you for and defrauding the government for.  In the billions of dollars.  And the government, thanks to Kathy Sebelius, no doubt under the marching orders of her boss, just slipped in legal immunity for the makers of the swine flu epidemic in the Federal Register, when doctors all over the world are expressing serious concerns about the side effects of the vaccination, and even healthcare workers globally are refusing to take it because they are afraid of the side effects.  In the meantime giving yet ANOTHER bone to the pharma industry by ordering a huge supply of a potentially life threatening vaccine that the government, despite its proclamations to the contrary, is probably going to make mandatory.  Or lock you up in quarantine until you take it.  No matter if it kills you.

8. My own pharma bill is outrageous, thanks to no health insurance for two years due to no ability to pay $800 per month in Cobra (and that’s just for me) after being illegally fired by a major Wall Street bank (who of course got bailed out immediately twice and in the billions of dollars, as soon as it ran into trouble because of its appallingly irresponsible and illegal behavior) and government rules about eligibility for Medicaid (you can’t have anything in your 401K when social security is about to go bust for my generation) and I’m still waiting for the EEOC two years after I filed my claim to even get back to me with the results of their investigation, has resulted in the development of an even more serious, incredibly painful, and second disability.  My total monthly pharma bill, now that I’m reduced to complete poverty and cannot get a job (because now I have a visible disability and frequently get called retard in public) is $6,000 per month.  Currently picked up the U.S. government, but someone’s going to have to pay for it eventually because this is not going to go on forever, and at a much higher price, and I suggest that it’s not going to be me, since it was caused by both the appalling actions of my former employer and the foot-dragging of the federal government on my case, for which there is no excuse, particularly since the feds have been handing out wads of cash to corporate America like it’s going out of style lately.

If they can afford corporate welfare, they can afford to take care of the people corporations hurt.  Especially those hurt by Wall Street.

9. That price tag on my pharma bill, by the way is with the government still negotiating prices, although the drug in question is made by a monopoly of one company, and could be solved very easily if the president got over his stupid ideas and scientific and neurological illiteracy about the effects of marijuana on the endocannabinoid system (that would be in the brain) for those of us with movement disorders, brain lesions, head injuries, and neurological problems they can’t figure out how to manufacture other drugs for and treat, especially without horrific side effects and which are not addictive.  And in fact the U.S. Government is already testing both the fake drug, which I now take, which is ridiculously expensive, and cannabis itself on such conditions (including multiple sclerosis, dystonia etc.) due to the overwhelming success in other countries of double blind studies and indeed on the market products in countries like Israel which already produce such product as the best drug on the market in the world to reduce brain tissue swelling after impact, the worst and most damaging side effect of traumatic brain injury, the so-called “signature wound” of the wars we are fighting, but also just doubled the number of people, including civilians in this country who suffer from the same condition.  For which there is no coordinated program in place to treat, and the Israeli drug is still banned by the FDA because naturally marijuana is the drug from hell, despite its use for literally thousands of years in Eastern medicine, just like the coca plant, to treat pain and other disorders, very cheaply.  Of course Eastern medicine gets no respect by Western male doctors who of course know better than everyone else.  Just like American culture is superior to every other culture, according to the great Harvard scholar Samuel Huntington, who apparently Obama read and believes in.  If you think that, you are delusional, small minded, and racist.  Not to mention have no respect for your fellow Americans who come from exactly those countries.

Natasha Richardson just died of TBI and trust me, she had the best medical treatment you can buy.  I doubt that the President or his dipshit advisors have even budgeted for the cost of TBI, since there is no medical program, social services program, job training or rehabilitation program in the country AT ALL that addresses the problem, even six years into two wars which have effectively doubled the problem.  And of course my plan, which does address the problem, and was praised by the leading agency in the country on the issue, has sat gathering dust at the White House for months, apparently because I’m not black, one of your cronies, or a woman, who apparently are no good for anything but procreation, since you’ve hired none of us white girls in our forties to any leading positions in your government to date.  Despite, in my case in particular, more DC experience than you do, and in fact a history of changing state policy at the age of 19, and starting changing national policy at the age of 23, in DC, in Congress, as an unelected official.  Obviously someone worth ignoring.  Of course.  Because women are useless and gimps are doorstops who don’t deserve anything but the worst possible treatment and couldn’t possibly come up with a good idea or have any professional experience at all.  Makes perfect sense to me.

10. The president’s proposal does absolutely NOTHING to address the 600 pound guerilla in the living room despite his claims to the contrary.  Medicare is going to go bust in 2017.  Social Security is projected to go broke in 2037.  The president conveniently skipped these inconvenient facts.  As usual.  I guess he wasn’t in the room when the conversation came up.

As usual.  Aren’t you tired of these unexcused absences when matters of real substance come up or at least the excuse that’s getting really old?  Next time I suggest, great Poobah in Chief, you try another excuse.  Like the dog ate my homework.  We still won’t believe you, but at least we’ll know you’re trying really hard to convince us you’re evading the truth and inconvenient facts you don’t want to face or don’t have the answers for because you refuse to let anyone into your incestuous circle of Ivy League brats who only come up with the same ideas that don’t work.  That’s why diversity is so important, not creating a staff that’s about as diverse, actually less diverse, than even George Bush’s was.

So yet again, we are left with a stupid proposal with no real reform that only offers relief to the upper middle classes and the rich, but even screws them, and really fucks everyone else, proffered up by a political coward and liar, who ran on a platform of reform and change, but is solely interested in money and power (for himself of course), doesn’t care about anyone else and has no ideas about real reform, long term change (now he’s in office his favorite refrain is the system isn’t really broken, all it needs is a few tweaks) or any other agenda than making himself look as great as possible, shower himself with as much glory as possible, and making himself as rich as possible as soon as the White House gig is over.  Which is much closer than he thinks unless he gets his ass in gear and learns the meaning of morality.  Much less responsible governing.  And learning not to lie.  If the man was Pinocchio, his nose would be at least to the Potomac by now.

The crap he offered in his speech before Congress was the equivalent of patient dumping that he learned from his wife, back at the University of Chicago Medical Center.  Only this time it’s called Health Care Dumping for one’s own political and personal gain.

What a bastard.

But hey, to end on a positive note, I hear Obama’s golf swing is improving after a summer vacation in a $35,000 a week select summer getaway spot for other blueblood elites he’s busy aping while millions of Americans continue to lose their jobs, their homes, their health insurance and everything else they have thanks to Obama’s screwed up policies that transferred the largest amount of taxpayer money in the nation’s history to the richest 1% of the already rich while trying to cover his tracks.  And training his Gestapo corps to beat up gimps who disagree with him and call him on the facts.

Isn’t that what presidents are for?

Especially those promising change we can believe in and reforming the polluted, corrupt political culture that passes itself off as American Democracy these days.

At least while running for office.

I guess once you’re actually IN the White House, all bets are off.  I suppose that’s another thing we should learn to gag on and swallow for another four years.  NOT.

I’m not accepting this crap from Obama, the DNC or anyone else.  And if they don’t like my tactics, my language, my anger or my style, tough shit.  Start treating me like a human being again, instead of blowing me off, stealing my IP, disfiguring and maiming me and giving me another disability that they refuse to treat, violating my civil rights, beating me up, discriminating blatantly, calling me retard, refusing to hire me, destroying me financially, firing me illegally, putting me through the absolute hell I have just been through and am still not out of the woods yet, not to mention faced the absolutely appalling discrimination from federal agencies, the Obama White House, Organizing for America, New York City politicians, and just about every agency in the State and City of New York, and you’ll get the same behavior back.

Until then you’ll face a raging bitch on the warpath to justice (and not just for me) with a vocabulary that makes Rambo sound G rated.  As they say, I believe about Bond girls, I swear like a sailor, although I’m not promiscuous and fight Kung Fu.  Black Belt.   And fight dirty and kick under the belt if necessary if my life is in danger. I learned that lesson long ago and it saved me from way too many drunken men twice my size and age who had every intention of raping me.   You don’t want to screw with a girl like me.  Because you are going to lose.  Or at least lose the family jewels in the process.  That’s not a threat.  It’s a promise.

The Democratic Party, starting with Obama, have undermined Democracy, stolen the election, lied to the American people and are basically on the take from the most corrupt corporations in America, while denying our voices in any debate.  They don’t even call us back.  It took me A YEAR to schedule a meeting with my Congresswoman, Nydia Velasquez, and her damn staffer has still not called me back to follow up on a proposal that will help provide both jobs and better living conditions for most of her constituents.  That is appalling.  And she won’t be getting my vote again.

While this has been going on for awhile, it’s on steroids this time because the Democrats have decided in some delusional thinking that the best way to maintain office and a majority in Congress, is to act like the worst Fascist Republicans.  Or Glenn Beck.  Take your pick.

I don’t care what color or gender or even sexual orientation they are.  Barney Frank has acted appallingly over healthcare reform and he has absolutely no excuse.  On several counts.  Black people and minorities can be racist, sexist and discriminatory too.  And most certainly corrupt.  For the moment they think that crying “racism” or “sexism” will protect them, but that won’t last for long.  And quite frankly when the black and minority, not to mention female political elite do it to save their skins, it is absolutely appalling.  It undermines what the word really means, and hurts the millions of minorities who still suffer under the yoke of real racism and sexism, or just discrimination period, that these assholes don’t give a rat’s ass about.  I mean what has Obama done, name just one thing, including healthcare reform, that will help poor minorities?

The answer is ZERO.  Because he doesn’t give a fuck.  And from my research on his past, apparently never really has.  All he cares about is HIMSELF. Which he even admitted albeit unintentionally, in that blatant publicity stunt of a letter to his daughters released right after he moved into 1600 Penn.  Except that he hasn’t exactly lived up to his promises to anyone but his own family, has he now?  And hasn’t changed his self aggrandizing, self promoting “me first” behavior at all.

It’s time the political elite woke up and realized that CONSTITUENTS not corporations are what Democracy is all about.  Not to mention the Democratic Party.  And if they don’t, then they’ll be joining the ranks of the unemployed in an election near you coming soon.  Next year in fact.  And two years hence.

There are other alternatives to Democrats and Republicans.  Or even incumbents.  And a lot of Americans are thinking that way these days.  I would encourage the over privileged idiots on the Hill to remember that before they sign off on ANY bill, including healthcare reform that does not drastically reform and remake a system that is so out of control and in need of a complete and drastic overhaul, despite what the Poobah in Chief and corrupt idiot in the White House thinks, for a watered down bill that will only perpetuate the suffering of millions of Americans who are already sinking, if not already underwater or dead already from drowning.

If not, start updating your resumes, and have your staff start looking on the internet for the cheapest movers to get your asses back to your home state come election time about a year from now.

Obama is the “Jackass”

This latest video and commentary about it from Jon Stewart, not to be missed by the way, is absolutely indicative of the absolutely inexusable unreported smelly underbelly of the Obama campaign, not to mention his current administration, and the layers of corruption that so far he has effectively hidden about his past, not to mention about what he’s doing right now.

Not to mention that the mainstream media has refused to investigate and report because of the interests of their corporate owners, which will have an effect on every supposed “reform” we were promised, including healthcare and real change.

Trust me, besides leaving you rolling in laughter with tears running down your cheeks, the video will also make you VERY ANGRY and want to throw pitchforks at the White House lawn.

With ACORN already facing charges in multiple states of outright voter fraud, they are just one in a long line of perps that Obama used to vaunt himself into the national spotlight….and of course uninvestigated by any major news outlet.

The list is long and growing, and I would have done my “list of perps” blog post by now, except that I was just beaten up – criminal assault and battery by the way -  by the Organizing for Obama people at a Health Care meeting in New York…as a person with a disability…and someone with over 11 years of Washington experience myself, not to mention a registered Democrat, who voted for Obama, when I stood up when called upon by the arrogant SOB running the meeting who had no national experience whatsoever, but decided to beat me up when I corrected the blatent lies he was telling the assembled crowd.

I am in the middle of filing charges with the Federal Justice Department, since the White House refuses to take my calls.

Wake up America.

Obama is a fraud.  The Republicans are worse, but we’ve been duped, by a snake oil salesman promising hope and selling garbage.

You can add to the list the long line of Congressional Democrats in Congress who follow the party line, and here in New York and across the country, who refuse to challenge a corrupt president and administration for fear of being called “racists.”

Calling a black person a crook is not  a crime or an act of racism if it’s true.  Look at Rangel.  Perfect example, who Pelosi is refusing to remove from his post, and Timothy Turbo tax just allowed to slide by on paying the fines and penalties he owed on taxes he owed.  So far no one has done anything about Rangel’s lawbreaking activities in both DC and New York with regards to “homesteading” laws in DC and occupying four rent controlled apartments in the middle of the worst housing crisis in the city in forty years, caused directly by Mayor Bloomberg and Obama’s pick to be the new Secretary of HUD, Shaun Donovan.

What Obama and Co. are doing is setting back the rights of the middle class, the poor, and those with disabilities, not to mention women, back decades, as Michelle and Barack take $215K date nights to New York on the tax payer’s dime, Michelle wears $540 sneakers and hasn’t even hired a person with a disability to her staff (apparently they’re not glam enough to go shopping in Paris and London) and is stupid enough to announce that she’s growing toxic waste on the White House lawn as “organic” without even getting the soil tested first, while passing it off as caviar.

While her husband gives out all the best government bailouts to their corporate cronies while selling out every campaign promise Obama made on the campaign.  And hires an economics advisor who forgets that it was a WOMAN, Florence Nightengale, who invented the key tool of economists, statistics, while Summers disses women’s aptitutes in economics, science and math as some sort of genetic default.  But the president hires him anyway.

The time is now to raise up in rebellion.

NO MORE CORRUPTION.  NO MORE LIES.  NO MORE SELLOUTS.

And just because George Bush did it, doesn’t justify it in blackface, an arguement I’ve been hearing far too much lately on the left these days, who call every critique of the president a “racist attack” when the man is a corrupt, corporate sellout, who sold his soul to the devil, or corporate America, take your pick, a long time ago.

What the hell are they teaching up in Harvard these days?  How to fuck the country?  The Ivy Leagues and the “tude coming out of the White House by overprivileged buppies and white men (notice there are no white women in their forties) is sickening.

Time to put our feet down.  Mass protests.  Withhold taxes.  Demand an audit of the Fed.  Make this government accountable again.

And that goes for the idiot corrupt bastard who promised change and isn’t doing a damn thing about it, who now is ensconsced in 1600 Penn, who apparently is more concerned with his golf score than anything or anybody but himself.

Haven’t we had enough of that?

Sorry, Bill Mayer, Been There, Done That, Got Beaten Up

Just like Bill Mayer’s New Rule on Healthcare, as reported on Huffpo this week, which as a blog, in general provided the best overall coverage of the issue in general, but on which Mayer complains specifically, and rightly so about the excrable Baucus bill, as outlined in the same and here, and which looks almost exactly like the secret deal supposedly not negotiated by the White House and the Pharmas, I showed up a town hall meeting in New York a couple of weeks ago and said exactly the same things.

Only I got beaten up and dragged out of the room for predicting exactly the same thing would happen..

Bill, word to the wise, if you, like me attend such meetings, take your bullet proof vest and an entourage.  Of course they probably wont’ call you retard, or treat you like they treated me.  There’s that funny old adage in America that says that there’s only so much justice in America as you can buy.  You’re kinda cute, and very funny.  And I’d hate to see you end up permanently disfigured.

Like me.

With the Democrats going full press on this piece of garbage, it’s time for a full court press to say NO!

Especially with Nancy Pelosi during her part, even doing that fake “Don’t Cry for me Pharmantina” routine to try to get the garbage passed.  With Clinton doing her usual bloodless sold out to corporate America, Pharma and Wall Street act long ago, right in toe.  And Michelle, the great patient dumper doing her part too.  What’s she up for? An Emmy in fiction?  Notice she’s shopping at a local farmer’s market now, that her garden has officially been declared HAZMAT material.  And her office is still ignoring my proposal.

Christ.  What happened to the Democrats?  Where did they go?

A stain on a dress?  A wrecked car in Chippaquiddick?  Or maybe we’ve never known.

With the Justice Department refusing to take my calls (hung up on three times today), Nancy Pelosi’s office refusing to take my calls (not only is she speaker of the house, she’s also head of the DLCC, the head of Organizing for America), and the White House Chief Counsel’s office under notice that unless Larry Craig calls back by Monday Morning this is going to the press, you can see how screwed up our system of government and justice system really is.  They didn’t even know what Organizing for America was for, and when I said I was pressing charges against the White House, one of the girls almost dropped the phone and said “we haven’t had one of those calls before here.”

That’s when I said “exactly, now get me through to an attorney please.”

And that’s when she hung up on me.

For those of you following my story on any of my blogs, including on open salon or on margueritearnold.wordpress.com, you’ll find the story there.

I had to wait this long to get a grant proposal in, that’s been delayed, and delayed for ten months already, while they dropped ANOTHER previously undiscussed requirement on my head at the last minute, and I had to fulfill that this week or I go homeless (and it’s not even for that much money).  I’ve been two and a half years without a job.  The EEOC has yet to investigate my case, two years since I filed my claim.  I have faced threats, both physical and written from the feds on down from the government in the best cleantech trigger jobs mechanism proposal there is in the country right now.

And I finally get beaten up at a healthcare rally I am invited to speak at when I say the same things as Bill Mayer’s on national TV.  Not to mention other columnists, many of whom are quoted here in the links above.

America.  When are you going to wake up and take this country back.

And stop treating women and people with disabilities like shit?  Why is it that when we say exactly the same things as Bill Mayers does, who gets paid a whole lot of money and does it risk free, you laugh?

But when a women, who’s lost everything does, you beat her up, laugh at her, call her a retard, drag her from the room, and the federal government refuses to take her calls to report the incident?

What is wrong with you people?

There is something called Kool Aid, and there is something called water.

I would suggest the water, just briefly.

Without the pharmaceutical additives.  It’s cheaper, much better for your health, in almost every way.  And trust me, you’ll wake up to the fact that you’ve just been screwed.

Time to take action while there’s still time.

If there is time left, that is.

Ding, Dong, the Senator (Kennedy) is Dead

When I was a kid, I lived in that golden age of Camelot.  Actually the warm and fuzzy glow of its aftermath, just as it was getting mean.  I was born in the Summer of Love (1967 right before RFK and MLK got shot and America began to turn mean and paranoid).

Or at least more so, on the edge of a promise never fully realized.

And the War, that would be Vietnam,  Megan McCain, I know you weren’t born yet, took another turn for the worse.  But I remember how distraught my parents still were over the shootings of JFK, RFK and MLK (and the reason the links I have included here for their assassinations are for the reason that my parents, like I do, never believed, given Joe Kennedy’s close association with the Mob and CIA, plus Hoover, that these assassinations were what they were claimed to be.  This is not as an unlikely scenario as one would have believed, considering Obama’s about face in the aftermath of the election and his reluctance to prosecute the CIA, with NO PROTEST FROM KENNEDY.

However naive this may sound in today’s America, I was brought up to believe that equality in religion and gender, race and religion, disability or able bodied was a given, and that discrimination, as much as my mutt of a religious upbringing makes me, was the greatest sin of all, short of murder and mass genocide.

I was taught the Constitution was a flawed document that could be made better, like amendments that made the slaves free and gave women the right to vote.  Born three years after the Civil Rights act of 1964, otherwise known as Title VII, and raised by a Southern mother who told me one too many stories of segregated school busses going the other way to crappy and unequal schools, and watching kids drink from crappy drinking fountains, and live in horrific conditions and work and live in horrific lives, and watching U.S. corporations pour chemicals into the air, water and even the food we eat, made me a committed and life long environmentalist.  And that violence was horrific, both on TV and that war was in general fought for profit.  Both from what I was taught at home and through my parent’s groundbreaking work.  Still considered classics to this day.  And still used as the basis for both teaching teachers themselves and in classrooms.  Nationally.

One of my uncles is considered the Father of U.S. capitalist management and EVERY U.S. CEO at a Fortune 500 company today knows his name – particularly the ones who go to Ivy Leagues – Peter Drucker, the so-called Father of Management.  The person who coined the phrase “information worker.”  And reorganized GM the first time around in the 1940’s.  And practically put on a pedastal by Jack Welsh and George Bush, who gave him the Presidential Freedom Award.

And his wife is a pretty tough cookie too, along with alot of other women in my family.  Although don’t hold Bush’s love of Peter personally.  I think of Bush kind of like the character of Otto in the film “A Fish Called Wanda” in that he read all the greats, but he just never understood them.  Much like the majority of corporate America, and that includes you Summers, that still doesn’t understand what “management by objective” really means, because they love the triangle structure of power where white men, or in Obama’s case, an egotistical black man, gets to boss everyone else around, and get paid gazillions, while underpaying everyone else and treating them like slaves.  Even when they ruin the worlds’ economy and steal your tax dollars to do it all over again.

My other paternal uncle is a still well reknowned scholar, for translating the Dead Sea Scrolls.  A man who might be rather familiar to any graduate of say Columbia University.  He was a legend in his own time for not only that, but for his ability to speak 32 languages.  Fluently.   So I may be a mutt, but I have a healthy respect for religion and a very good historical feeling for the region.

Plus of course my own extremely successful 11 year career in DC. Plus another ten plus in New York.

Did the White House ever call on me, despite my getting in touch early on in the campaign?   No.

I could never get my foot into the Obama campaign, as hard as I tried.  Or the Clinton campaign before it.  Because I was a girl who didn’t go to Harvard.  And apparently, according to Obama’s head economics advisor, the ex president of Harvard, Mr. Summers, women don’t know anything about anything except making babies.

Mr. Obama apparently chooses to overlook that and many other of Mr. Summer’s obvious failings.  Just like Kennedy did.  Like his failure to create an economic boost for the country and merely rewarding his political cronies and past employers with vast sums of your money.  While the rest of America sinks.

THAT is one of the reasons I am so critical of the idiot in the White House right now.  Not that I am a racist.

But apparently my beliefs make me a freak in today’s America, where people kill for profit all the time. (See the pharma and insurance industry that the White House and Congress are refusing to reform).  And pollute the environment without a second thought.  And for profit.  And don’t give two thoughts about it.  And discriminate without a second thought.

There are many days when I don’t think we’ve gone all that far in my lifetime, I don’t care what the color of the President’s skin.  A dictator can be of any gender or hue.  Idi Amin was a lot darker than Obama.  And Obama is a classist, racist, sexist, elitist, and discriminatory, f*ck.

He calls himself a “New Democrat” although of course not until after the election.  I call him a liar, a wimp, a craven opportunist, a corrupt politician, and my favorite word, naievil.  Knowing that people close to you are doing very illegal and immoral things, and choosing not to look at them, or examining them too closely.  That’s why Obama’s favorite line when caught squarely in the act is “I wasn’t in the room.”  Or “I wasn’t aware of the problem.”

Kiss my ass you weren’t aware of the problem.  A five minute internet search can turn it up.  Going back all the way to your earliest years in politics.  And much earlier than that.  Coming to a blog near here very soon I might add, so stay tuned.   And reported on here pretty frequently so far.

I remember on going on protests against the Vietnam War in my stroller. That’s what Afhganistan is, at a much higher altitude, with two former empires who’ve gotten their asses kicked before you (not just the French).

I was taught that making money was a good thing, but not the end all and be all of what to do in life.  And certainly not the mark of “the best and the brightest.”

I’m not saying my parents were perfect.  They weren’t by a long shot.   In fact they were pretty screwed up in the end.

But they were right about alot of things, including what we are seeing right now in America.  They predicted it in many ways, and my dad tried to protect us from it by moving to England when I was a kid, a plan that became unstuck during a very messy separation, and my mother, I don’t know what she was thinking, came back to the United States.  About six months before the election of Ronald Reagan.  I wore black to school in eighth grade the day he got elected.  My classmates always thought I was wierd. But I was political even then.

And I suffered from the anti semitism of the Kennedies in a way most Democrats never did.   Thanks to the late Senator Kennedy’s father, my father suffered from war wounds all his life, being forced to fight in the U.S. army to gain his citizenship.  He was a German Jew who escaped first to England and then only allowed American citizenship if he fought on the front lines of France and Germany because he spoke fluent French and German, thanks to Joe Kennedy’s horrific immigration policies.

I lost him when I was 11.

My life has intertwined with the Kennedies all my life, in a wierd and very bizzare way.  From the fact that my maternal great relatives in the South were also bootleggers (although without the financial education and smarts, they never were terribly good at politics and finance until several generations later) to much more personal reasons and ways.

So when I hear the tributes to Senator Kennedy, the so called “Lion of the Senate,” who never hired me during all my years in Washington, because I wasn’t the “right” PC hire (I wasn’t black, I didn’t have an Ivy League, I wasn’t pretty enough, I wasn’t a boy but interested in traditionally male topics), I didn’t have a JD for purely economic reasons, and know that the Kennedies, who bought 100 copies of one of my mother’s first books, The Magical Wonderful World of Marguerite, the book I was named after, now a collector’s item for a birthday party for Caroline, there is a sort of bitterness too.

Gail Haley (Mom) at bookfair promoting her work in her Barbara Streisand phase

Sure, the guy was rich enough to do whatever he wanted.  And he did.

But there were alot of things he did not do that could have made a difference.

He could have saved a young woman’s life in a drunk driving accident in a place called Chappaquiddick that he tried to cover up to save a fledgling political career.

He could have hired me, and that would have made a huge difference.

He could have publically chastized Deval Patrick for asking for an excemption from federal disability law for all bailout funds in Massachussetts, which he never did, but thankfully the Justice Department overrruled, choosing race over disability, in a way that is going to set this movement back decades, because Obama has absolutely no qualms about keeping this community, twice as large as the African American community in worse squalor than African Americans ever were for much longer, no matter what the lip flap.  And Michelle has no qualms whatsoever about being a hypocrite.

While Kennedy died of a brain tumor, he earned it the old fashioned way.  He drank himself into it.  While I’m sympathetic, let’s not get too maudlin here.  A friend of mine, who worked his way through school at American University, learned to bartend at one of the favorite watering holes of the Senate while he waited for his contract at the World Bank to come through.  This was in the early eighties. He remembers Kennedy having five and six drinks a lunch.   Doubles.  And being a very cheap tipper.  And frequently returning at the end of each day, with staff rolling him out the door when the doors closed for the night to the special black car to take him home.

Tales out of school to dismiss the “great man?”

No, not really.  Because every “great” man makes his mistakes and in his last twenty years or so, Kennedy was very much about HIS legacy, and overlooked alot of things he could have done to stem the Republican tide rather than just go sailing.  And overlooked alot about Obama that never should have been.

So do I miss the great “Lion of the Senate?”  Not really.  There was much he left undone and unsaid.  He could have picked up the movement where his brothers left off instead of floundering in his own ego and a bottle without an end.

Instead he retreated to one of the most exclusive and corrupt bodies on the planet, and while he passed some good legislation, he hid from the world, instead.

A price we are all now paying for, with the corruption of the DNC and the devastation of some of his greatest accomplishments, like the essential destruction of the EEOC.  And a fool in blackface, who the Kennedies just tried to pass their much sullied torch off too, called Obama.  Even in discussing who would take Kennedy’s place so this awful bill that the Democrats are trying to pass called healthcare deform won’t go south.

And in endorsing an arrogant fool who is going to drive this country into the ground.  Called Obama.

So enough with the drama and with the tears.  Let’s remember who the Kennedies were.  Starting with the family patriarch.  Joe Kennedy actually was an illegal bootlegger thug, often connected with the mafia, who bought his way into respectibility and politics.  And created horrific suffering by his anti-semitic immigration policies while millions of Germans, including my father, were denied immigration as political refugees from Europe, and were slaughtered.   Most of my family died in Buchenwald, or made it out with horrific memories and psychological wounds that have stayed with them for life, much worse than Kennedy’s ever were.   Or, like my father, used as cannon fodder.

Where’s my uncle Teddy?

He’s dead.

Where’s my father? Lost to a war he should never been sent to fight.

What will ever make up for the loss of him?  Emotionally?  Financially?  As a role model?

As my Dad?

The Kennedies were directly responsible for his untimely departure from my life.  And for which I will never forgive them.  Even though I’ve been a registered Democrat all my life and fought for progressive causes. At great personal sacrifice, I might add.

My father’s first wife discovered Marilyn Monroe, my eldest brother played softball in the surf with her when she was still married to Norman Mailer and they were neighbors in Long Island Sound.  I know stories about JFK and Marilyn that I’ll never share.  I don’t dish the gossip easily.

But as for the Kennedies?  It’s time for America to get over it’s fascination with royalty and remember why we have a Constitution and presidents instead.

A lesson Obama would do well to remember.  And liberals, when they get bent out of shape when their so called messiah turns out to be more Republican than George Bush.   And gets elected by the very corporations and even corrupt black organizations like ACORN who would indeed rather play kingmaker than allow electoral democracy speak for itself instead.

A lesson Kennedy never really learned.  He played noblesse oblige all his life, giving Democrats in his wake a bad lesson.  Be rich or sell out.  But wield power over the masses like a birthright.

Obama has taken the low road.  But he thinks he’s following in Kennedy’s footsteps.  And to a certain extent, he is.

America, now is the time to rethink what Democracy really means.

And while you may have a soft spot in your heart for Ted Kennedy or not, you should be aware of what damage he and his family also wrought on this party and this country, for most of the last century.

Are we doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past?  Or can we remake ourselves in a better and more perfect union?   Where the votes and the voices of the people actually count?  Not the machinations of backroom pols who now are usually bought and paid for by corporations instead of built on the illegal gains and fortunes of drug lords, slum lords, or other law breakers turned “respectible.”

Or at least they want you to think they are.

And then of course there’s Wall Street and the Medical Industry for which there is no excuse.  But Joe Kennedy was right at home there too.

It’s up to you America.  Repeat the past and we get the same results.  Last time I checked, keep repeating the mistakes of the past and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

Capitalism: A Love Story, by Dante

With Micheal Moore’s documentary hitting major markets this weekend, I thought I would briefly say a few words.

Duh.

While Huffpo is calling Mr. Moore the Zeitgeist of this country, he’s just a mirror, plain to all with two eyes who cared to see.  For many years.

If anyone didn’t see the writing on the wall coming even 20 years ago with the debut of “Roger and Me,” widely panned at the box office, despite Moore’s hype and dissed in the mainstream press for “Marxist propoganda” and it’s so called “distortions” and even up through “Bowling for Columbine” and “Farenheit 9/11” and even “Sicko,” Moore has been consistently denigrated by his critics, although he’s quite right, and always has been.

And even watching the promos is not only deju vu on the issues, but many of the same damned faces are STILL THERE.  That would be in Congress that is.  Oh, yeah, and did you watch the golf swinging Bush having any similiarity to the favorite new hobby of our new Prez.  Yup.  Disturbingly uncanny.

However, while Moore’ s not the only one who knew what was happening and called it right, or was even a filmmaker with the right inclinations, he’s the right gender and demographic to get funding, and attention, and he happened to make the right connections, (and that’s not a denigration, it’s just the reality of a corporate owned media, that’s sexist to boot), to have chronicled the fall of America under not just the Reagan’s, and the Bushes but the CLINTONS and OBAMA.  After all, it was the Democrats lack of pressure on Detroit to make it competitive that led to all those plant closings that make Flint such an aribiter of our future.  It was Clinton who signed NAFTA and welfare deform.  It was Clinton who laid the groundwork for the financial disaster we face now.

The past is present, and our future for a long time to come and Moore knows it.  And ducks it.  And that’s where I find fault with him.

He’s not the only one with two eyes.  Or one with a skill for making films.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t as lucky as Mr. Moore, and his agents are far too important to call me back.  I would have made a good addition to the story, but that’s what happens when you also get famous.  Your talent scouts get ‘tude, and so do you.  Behind the ‘aw shucks’ attitude there is a raging ego maniac in Mr. Moore.  But that is not the point.

Go see the movie. I’m sure Moore is rich enough to do something good with at least some of the profits.

But that’s not enough.  Moore has yet to condemn Obama, the Democrats, came out for Mr. Gore (who is part of the problem) and it’s not enough for you to pay your ten to twelve bucks at the movies for a cathartic release because you know it’s going to happen to you soon.

If it hasn’t happened already.

And even if it doesn’t, and you stand by and do nothing but go to a movie, it’s a cop out.

This is reality Movie Time people.  That’s why they’re called documentaries.  And if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

What Moore’s film, what my blogs are, what my life’s work has been about, including many of my own documentary films, what many other people in America are saying, is that we are living in a deeply flawed and corrupt society, that Mr. Obama has no intention of changing.  Despite all that pretty lip flap of “change we could believe in.”

If you have the money, sure go see the movie. AND THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

I don’t have the money, but I also don’t need to see the movie to know what Moore’s central premise is.

Like millions of Americans I live it every day.

I don’t need to go to the movies to be reminded of it.  And unlike millions of Americans, I am already fighting back.  And damned if my voice gets drowned out in the storm.

By even good meaning people like yourselves, who go and get worked up over movies, and then go home and pretend that life goes on as usual.

Until it doesn’t.

The Herculean Struggle: Chicagoans vs. Obama over Olympics

You know, it hurts to be right and it pisses me off when I’m ignored, particularly by the left, who keep insisting that Obama is really just a good guy who has his hands tied.  But this last thing is just really too much, right on the heels of everything else.

Why is it that the guy is so out to lunch?  Does he not understand math?  Is he economically impaired?  Or is he just incorrigibly greedy and corrupt?

I have been insisting for MONTHS that the White House was out to lunch economically, if not hopelessly corrupt, not the least of which was my last blog about the subject of the White House’s committment to host the Olympic Games in 2016 in where else but Obama’s home town of Chicago.

Now I’m not going to waste space here, because my last blog lays out the economic foolishness of the issue quite well.

Chicagoans themselves don’t want it.

By that I mean the little people, the one’s the White House routinely ignores.

But despite the widespread public opposition, in the town that’s going to do the suffering, Mr. Obama, again, in his “I’m smarter and more powerful than you” act, allowed his peons to announce as of Monday that the White House confirmed that Obama was going to Copenhagen personally to try to secure the games.

With both Obamas pitching for it in the U.S., most mainstream media outlets as usual are doing their best to follow the ra ra cheerleading, and as usual, Obama and the Missus are basically just cheerleaders, talking about “team spirit,” “optimism” and how great it will be for the city, not to mention their property value (no I’m not kidding) leaving out all references to economic analysis for anybody else.

Why does this sound so familiar to Obama’s other solutions that spend lots of money on himself and his greatness but have no effect, except to make his cronies even richer and his personal fame even greater?

And hey, here’s Mrs. Obama doing her best schtick, talking about everything BUT economics, and of course refusing to talk about the real issues at hand, it’s her and hubbies’ best friends and cronies who will get the best contracts.

Given the state of the economy, thanks to Obama, nobody will be able to afford the tickets locally anyway.  Even by 2016.

And if you really think that I don’t know what I’m talking about, take it from the boys in the band who usually do the biggest cheerleading when it comes to sports promotion in general.

ESPN is even clear that it doesn’t make economic sense and Olympic economic logic flunks the laugh test.  Beijing’s experience was not positive either.

And the latter story from a commercial paper all about commercial sports.  If you think that Boston doesn’t take it’s sports seriously, I’ve got some waterfront property that’s not underwater in California for ya.

All this is, in the words of the small group of citizen’s, who are traveling to Denmark on their OWN expense, instead of the taxpayer’s dime, like say, oh, Obama and the missus, is that Chicago doesn’t deserve to host the games, being neither structurally fit for it, and will only serve to increase the widespread culture of graft and corruption that already exists.

Something Obama apparently wasn’t in the room for.

Um, haven’t we heard that line before?

And aren’t you getting sick of it?

And don’t you think it may have followed its odiferous stench to the Oval Office?

This is just one more example.

Jack & Squat: SNL’s Funniest Skit in 3 Decades

There’s little more I can add to what is probably Saturday Night Live’s best skit in three decades about the ineffectiveness of Obama in office.

Click here for your vast amusement for the clip.  There’s not much more to add.

And Obama certainly deserves the criticism if not far more, for perhaps the most elitist, least effective, egotistical narcissist we’ve had in office in, well, ever.

The Fraud of Obama’s Nobel

The fact that Obama just won the Nobel Peace Prize is so nauseating that I almost threw up when I read it this morning.

How could a man who is actively undermining Democracy in this country (i.e. FOIA and FISA), and escalating two wars in the Middle East – Iraq and Afghanistan – possibly be awarded a Nobel PEACE PRIZE?  Especially when there are far better candidates.

And this after being put on the nomination list less than twelve days after his inauguration to the Presidency?

Ghandi, for example, was nominated four times and never won, even after his death (the committee decided in it’s infinite wisdom that awards must never be awarded post humously).

To award this snake oil salesman who has accomplished  NOTHING of substance to date one of the world’s supposedly most august and prestigous prizes, along with the money, is not only an insult, it’s yet another sign of substance over reality that Obama and Co. have so skillfully manipulated globally.  And that the Nobel Committee fell for hook line and sinker.  Or as Politico put it, kind of like giving a sixteen year old kid a porche for his sixteenth birthday.

To the detriment of us all.

I wonder how many years it will take the global community to figure that out.

Some of us, a little closer to home, and already tired of the President’s aw shucks schtick, and all talk but no action already see it, but we’re never listened to, beaten up and have our lives destroyed.

If that’s not the equivalent of the ultimate irony, I don’t know what is.

As for Obama, he’s a snake oil salesman.  And I sincerely hope he donates all of that money he certainly doesn’t deserve to a good cause (which has subsequently been announced because of the obvious blowback).  Because he doesn’t deserve it and he never will.  He’s a fraud and he knows it, and at least he had the good graces to at least admit it this morning, although in Obamaspeak he called it “a call to action.”

Which means “I’ll have my staff get to work on it after I’ve stopped screwing the American public over on healthcare, the environment and giving my cronies and Wall Street the rest of the goodies in the Kingdom.”  Oh, and escalating a horrific war we shouldn’t be involved in at all.

By then it will be far too late.  Something the Nobel Committee might want to consider next year before giving out their prize.  A lesson you might have thought they’d learned by now, by giving the exact same prize to a man named Kissinger who is so afraid of leaving the U.S. for his global despisement and fear of assassination from someone holding an impromptu war crimes tribunal and assassinating him for his actions during the Vietnam War (he was awarded the prize in 1973).  But apparently, just like the United States, the Nobel Committee needs a little prodding.

Or perhaps this is just history repeating itself.  Until we all just destroy the race of mankind under the weight of our collective stupidity, coming to a planet near you rapidly sometime soon.  Probably in your lifetime at the way things are progressing.

As for Obama, I hope he chokes on it.  I can’t think of a more undeserving politician.  And he can stick it up his ass.  Tell it to the vets he just gave a life sentence of no more than five years to at the VA for infecting them with both AIDS and Hepatitis C for giving them unsterilized colonoscopies while withholding benefits for wounded vets and you’ll see what I mean.

The world has gone mad and lucky us, we’ve got a President who is George Bush in Blackface who the Nobel committee thinks is Jesus.

We’ve just been committed to Pergatory and the man’s ego has now entered the stratosphere.

God help us.

The Rose Garden Nobel Speech Obama Should Have Given

Dear World:

I am deeply humbled by this incredible honor.  However there is no way I can possibly accept it.  My kids are really cute and it’s disarming when I quote them, but I simply don’t deserve it.

Not only was I nominated less than a month into my presidency, but I have subsequently failed to deliver on or radically altered course on fundamental campaign promises that lie at the root of the definition of peace and the Nobel Prize itself.

Specifically:

I am undermining the civil rights and privacy of all Americans by increasing Executive Privilege, the actions I am taking to maintain FISA, undermine FOIA, failure to deal with Gitmo or other “off the reservation-like” torture camps, the horrific things I have in mind to suspend energy and internet usage under my Messiah like powers already, which I promised to end on my campaign but now I have the power, well tough cookies, I lied.  They’re mine now and I intend to keep them;

The fact that I am actively ramping up a horrific and unnecessary war in a place called Afghanistan (not to mention my actions in Iraq) which is not only killing and maiming thousands of civilians but also US soldiers who I am not taking care of properly when they come home, especially when not in one piece.  And doing a really good job of killing veterans who’ve already fought if they’ve gotten colonoscopies in VA hospitals lately.

The fact I have failed to deliver a healthcare bill and deliberately created a political scenario where between myself, my patient dumping wife and my really nasty chief of staff, we had no intention of really reforming the system, and you stupid Americans voting for change are going to have to wait another three years for a piece of shit legislation that barely changes the status quo.

Who cares that unemployment is at least 20% if you count the “uncountables” and those the Labor Department leaves off for spurious, discriminatory and political reasons and nobody can afford the barely reformed and much more expensive healthcare you’re going to get shoved down your throat?  I can and that’s all that matters.  Plus I have a good paying job right now with excellent healthcare that the American taxpayer picks up the tab for, so who the fuck cares about you?

Oh, and the bank is about to repossess your home because we did such a shitty job on the Mortgage Relief Act, but haven’t yet bothered to regulate Wall Street because, well, then who’s going to finance my next campaign? And that’s way more important than any of my stupid constituents.  Haven’t you figured that out by now?  It’s all about me and my wonderfulness and everlasting glory.  Not about the world and its survival.

I’m the Messiah and you are the slaves.  Haven’t you figured THAT out by now?  See, that’s why a Harvard education makes you naturally superior.   Apart of course from the inherent greatness of me, which makes me naturally superior to you inferior mortals.  And naturally we Messiahs deserve special treatment instead of showing leadership and taking it on the chin like the average American and signing up to the same shitty programs we’re forcing you to participate in to show that we really care about your pain.   Which I helped cause by the way.

We take things like that for granted around here.  After all, what good is power and money unless you get to fuck people over with it?  I mean that’s what affirmative action was really for right?  So black people could do to white people what they did to us?  And I can create black cliques of corrupt rich black celebrities and politicians, like oh say Rangel, and not do jack about that, and pretend it doesn’t matter while crying “racism” when one of your elite buddies at Harvard loses his shit and takes out his revenge on a white, working class cop trained in racial profiling but you decide to make it an issue and go off uncocked while ignoring the fact that your buddy, the governor of Massachusetts, just proposed trampling on the rights of twenty percent of the people of the same state, who don’t have second houses in exclusive vacation resorts and live in poverty, by excluding them from the bailout.  That’s not exactly making the world a better and more fair place for everyone?  Right?

I have done nothing but lip flap in terms of expanding civil liberties for gays and lesbians but at least I am paying them “some” attention because they are extra cannon fodder for the war and good for fundraising dollars.  I couldn’t give a shit about gimps at all, and in fact am ignoring the issue completely, when I’m not putting additional hurdles in their way, because after all, what good are they except as doormats, or maybe we could use them as sort of chicken gun feeders instead of white phosphorous in our next bombing run over Afghanistan since our regular weapons are breaking down and we don’t have the money to replace them.  It would kill, excuse the pun, two birds with one stone.  It would cut down on disability payments and eliminate basically useless human beings from the face of the planet that we don’t have to do anything for.  Brilliant solution right?   I mean it’s a far better solution than having one of my closest advisers, Cassandra Butts take policy papers from them that make my advisors look like idiots, not to mention my wife for growing a HAZMAT site on the White House lawn, even though that gimp outshone her in school and in professional Washington, and led the anti apartheid movement at the first Southern University that eventually led to the ENTIRE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DIVESTING that my advisor puts on her resume but can’t be bothered to pay the time of day to, even when that gimp reports the illegal activities of both my staff and my cabinet and my advisor calls her “privileged” because she’s a white girl (even though her life has been completely destroyed by Wall Street and my own ineffectual EEOC). Not to mention has a better Congressional record in passing national legislation at a far younger age than even I do and started changing national policy in DC at the age of 23, and I couldn’t even be bothered to invite her to the White House for personally saving a piece of land that I signed the bill for preserving as Federal Wilderness but invited a White Boy instead who had nothing to do with either the writing of the legislation or its passage.  Because White Girls especially don’t have any rights, even for meritocracy. Especially if they’re gimps in this House.  You see what I mean about not deserving this prize.  I don’t respect human rights at all.

That’s why they pay me the big bucks here in the Massah’s house.  America’s record on human rights suck.  That’s what the UN thinks anyway.  And I have no real intention of reforming that anytime soon, just because I’m black, because I’m really just the house nigger.   Kind of like the Michael Jordon of Presidential Politics with Corporate Sellout tattooed on my ass.  I know you Europeans don’t know what that means (although the Arabs certainly do) but in Euro speak it means that I’m going to do absolutely nothing because I’m a chickenshit and sell it as chicken salad and bask in the reflected glory of doing absolutely nothing but calling it great just because I said so.

That also goes for the poor I’m doing shit all for as well, because after all, someone needs to take out my garbage and clean my house.

And in terms of the nuclear thing, I just ordered a new nuclear reactor for this country in an undercover Presidential earmark, which is not exactly going to convince anyone of the need to give up nuclear power even for “so called civilian reasons,” so really, please folks, hold the applause.

So you see, this award is really not deserved, nor do I intend to accept it.

I simply, and I cannot put this any other way, deserve this award in ANY WAY.  Even for trying for a laudable goal which even on that I haven’t done very much on.  I mean, I’m far too selfish to have them in general and gave them up long ago.  If I ever had them.  I went to get the Olympics not for what they’ll mean for the U.S. or even the average citizen of Chicago, but as Michelle said, to increase our property value back home in our historical mansion which I got a dubiously low loan for and a very corrupt developer got me extra land for my garden when he bought the piece of land right next door to at a conveniently proximate time, and so I can give out more goodies to my corrupt cronies in the Windy City when I get finished fucking all of my fellow Americans by giving the best government grants and bailout dollars to the biggest corporations and my corporate buddies right now.

Oh, and I beat up gimps in my spare time with my Gestapo called Organizing for America, too, and undermine Democracy in my own country, so really, folks, this award is not mine to accept….I really don’t deserve it.

Please, give it to someone who has actually done something worthy of respect and furthering world peace and put their asses on the line at some point in their lives to further world peace.

And don’t award me just because I’m not George Bush.  I’m certainly acting that way in office, round three, or at least two and a half.

The last sitting president you gave this award to, President Wilson, for signing the Treaty of Versailles, is widely credited by historians for creating a little kafuffle known as WWII because of that document, so I also don’t really think it was particularly good judgment on your part to award me on that score either as the next sitting US President to be so honored.  But that would show a knowledge of U.S. and military history neither I nor my over paid white male, twenty something speechwriter (we don’t hire white women here in the Big House to real or good paying jobs because they aren’t good for anything but procreation, according to my chief economics advisor who doesn’t remember that it was a woman who invented statistics) don’t seem to have.  Despite our over privileged backgrounds.  And shows quite clearly in our misguided pursuit of foreign policy in places like say up the Khyber Pass.

But I digress.  Today is Bo’s Birthday, everybody.  And a three day weekend is coming up.  Yippee.

And sorry guys at the Nobel Committee.  I’m already over hyped as it is for accomplishing absolutely nothing to date except killing Americans and innocent civilians, ignoring the most disenfranchised in this country while suspending their civil rights, racking up a huge national deficit, overseeing the continued plunging unemployment rate while spending the tax payer’s dollars like crazy on my own personal tour of the world and pleasure (like $215K for date night in New York and the largest entourages ever on those jet setting acts of um, international diplomacy).

Let’s boogy.

Because really, I’m a shallow, sexist, racist, economically challenged, elitist, over hyped suit, who doesn’t belong to be here until I start delivering on some of that hype that got me here in the first place and so far haven’t delivered shit.  And if in a couple of years I do start delivering and you find it in your hearts to so honor me with so much as a nomination, much less an actual award, then I will accept it on the part of the American people, not myself, for moving forward into the 21^st Century.

This would be a Nobel for the Country, not a person.  And for the country we have decided to become, and the one we’ve left behind.  Until then, thanks so much for thinking of me, but I regretfully decline to accept the award that my housekeeper will just have to dust along with my Emmy, and all the other undeserved awards I’ve won for the hype of just being me lately, not to mention financed by decidedly corrupt and undemocratic people and institutions.

Thanks and God Bless.  Oh, and happy birthday Bo.  Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go meet with my generals to plan how we’re going to bomb the shit out of Afghanistan and kill yet more innocent women and children civilians. That is after all what world peace is all about, right?

The Real Pigs in the Swine Flu Trough

As many of those in New York State may know already, although many still remain in the dark, the State has just become first in the nation to make mandatory Swine Flu (also known as the H1N1 virus) shots mandatory for all healthcare workers in the state.  And now added an extra special kicker, as in the ass, for those who do not comply.

Take it or get fired.

Which is not only appalling, given that this is a clear violation of several major laws: OSHA, which covers worker’s safety, considering the many unanswered questions about the vaccine’s safety (despite government propaganda to the contrary, and I’ll come back to that in a minute), Disability law, privacy law, Title XII and ultimately Constitutional rights.

The decision by the State’s leading health official is not only widely controversial, with two class actions already being filed or about to be, in the state and at least one federally and generating protests in the State Capital in Albany, but a sign of something far worse on the horizon, just as many critics already predicted and feared would come true. Nationally.

The first is that this act is horrific, illegal, and dangerous to both workers and patients.  And everybody’s families.  On both sides.  Born and  unborn.  Talk about public officials who should be renamed “Typhoid Mary” for their appallingly ill informed, and probably dictated to from Washington mandates about mandatory innoculation programs for healthcare workers here in New York.  Which would include Paterson, who is in the works of trying to make this permanent, and from what I can glean for EVERYONE in the State of New York, just like they’re doing in a State immediately to our North called Massachusetts VERY openly right now.

The second is that it was inevitable and is probably not a local act at all but rather what looks suspiciously like another heavy handed dose of Washington meddling in New York politics and on behalf of Wall Street and Big Pharma (yet again).  This smells like the odor of Michelle Obama’s approach to healthcare in Chicago, and rather predictable, given her husband’s own meddling in local politics here in the state of late.  Not to mention a left over Bush policy that is being yet again adopted by the so-called “agent of change we can believe in.”

BO.  As in this thing stinks.

If it sounds like a giant conspiracy theory, and yes it does to me too, unfortunately there are too many things from too many respectable folks, like what is going on in my neck of the woods, that make me believe that this isn’t.  Not to mention these documents from rather official sources, and this really appalling blog report that sounds just a bit too authentic, given what I know from my own time as an investigative reporter covering the Pentagon, not to mention the appalling actions of the VA lately, that suggest that some folks at rather high places have been planning this for some time.  See my previous blog on the subject of vaccinations.

Plus, you know, details being what they are, Bird flu/Swine flu?  What’s the difference?

Particularly as this current strain apparently appears to have elements of both.  Plus the bioweapon kind.  Which is included in an announcement about liability by a Ms. Sebelius (head of HHS) which I’ll get to in a moment, and makes this EVEN MORE SUSPICIOUS.  And somebody’s been thinking about mass epidemics of some kind for awhile. Internationally.  Which is kind of spooky, don’t you think?

That’s why I’m writing about it.  Say what you will and please, give it all the skepticism you want, because I am too, but all I can tell you is that when I went to get my ‘scrips filled today, the workers in my local clinic, which is actually very good, were scared to death. Everyone was talking about the protests upstate, and downtown.  And about both about losing their jobs and their lives.  Or being permanently crippled.  And forced to live in poverty for the rest of their lives.  AND they know about what’s in the vaccine and how easily it can be spread.  AND the side effects.  I told you, I got an earful today, because the clinic was busy and I heard alot of gossip, not to mention I had a long chat with one of the male nurses because I also had a blood test.  And several Board of Health workers who are paid so badly by the city that they have to use the same kind of public clinic I do.  And I’m on Medicaid.  But should also tell you how good the clinic is, probably the best in the city, because THAT’s where ALL the Department of Healthworker’s go.

Michelle, honey, you think you’ve got underground sources?  Girlfriend, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

But moving back from Washington to New York and to the swine flu and my clinic.  As I said, even the nurses know their shit.

And the lawsuits and the protests are very real.  Which cost a fortune.  And the people filing them aren’t billionaires, but normal working class nurses and city workers.

So that lends alot of cred to what is being reported.  But let me start at the beginning to fill in the newcomers to the issue.

As many have suspected, and this is a global suspicion, from healthcare workers to physicians all over the world, the vaccine itself is not safe, not to mention that this may in fact be an “oops” got out of the lab bioweapon on the hoof.  From respectable sources all over the world.  Not to mention this little shocker.

But in terms of the vaccine itself, between reports of the use of mercury and what are called adjuvants, and other nasty little things included in the vaccines for god knows what reason, and the fact that the vaccine has not been properly tested, not to mention that despite all the rhetoric that the vaccine is perfectly safe from Ms. Sebelius at HHS as well as other government officials and the mainstream media (despite Sebelius’ slipping a little noticed legal immunity into the Federal Register this summer releasing all federally contracted vaccine makers from getting sued from those who might suffer side effects from the vaccine, a favorite tactic of dodgy political players who don’t want their dubious acts to get any attention, because very few except the policy wonks actually read the damned thing, and the press release on Yahoo from the AP report (never picked up by the major media, by the way, was quickly removed, and the immunity more than questionable if the vaccine is as safe as they say it is), and this on top of what the vaccine actually contains or not.

Or has been contaminated, as reports have repeatedly claimed, that Bayer, among others, shipped a whole batch that was contaminated around the world (reminiscent of the AIDS contaminated blood disasters, remember those?).

And many adults remember the disaster of the 70’s when the first swine flu epidemic turned out to be a total act of hysteria that crippled thousands of people and was totally unnessessary, but of course a huge financial bonanza for the vaccine makers.

In addition there are a few other legal problems of a class action kind.  And from several directions.  Not to mention a pack of lies.  And easily provable by like a two second internet search on any browser and CPU made say past 1980 (although yes those older models would need alot of patching fixing, an external modem and would be a major pain in the ass).  Take it from me…try a newer version…it’s easier that way.  Plus broadband.  That’s an extra kicker for those of you not in the know, since I’m also dealing with some really stupid people right now who need to be taught some lessons they don’t understand, and this message is for you too folks.

And they are going to get the link to this blogsite come a day very soon.  Like tomorrow.

But back to mandatory swine vaccination policies and debunking the propoganda you might be hearing, if you are hearing any thing at all.

The first is that the state is claiming that this mandatory vaccination program is to protect patients.

That’s false.  To the point of complete and utter bullshit.

In New York State, workers will be given the live vaccination, which makes them active carriers and can pass the virus to their patients, not to mention THEIR OWN FAMILY MEMBERS when they get home, which effectively endangers three populations. The latter two completely unknowingly.  And without permission.  This is what the Nazis did to the Jews folks.  I know.  Most of my family was slaughtered in the Holocaust and I have relatives who survived Buchenwald and Kristalnaght, so I’ve heard first hand accounts of it.  And of course what state in the Union has the highest percentage of Jews in the United States?  Or a city Jesse Jackson still is haunted to this day for called “Hymie-Town?”  And trust me, Florida is already a lost cause.  It’s on the books,  it’s just not enforced yet.

Furthermore, this is a violation of people’s privacy, both on the job, and off of it, and has other implications as well.  The powers that be say the only exceptions to getting the shot are for medical reasons which forces people to reveal their disabilities to their employers, which is a violation of both the federal disabilities laws (the 1973 Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act) as well as state and city Human Rights law.  Which has FURTHER IMPLICATIONS this morons are either ignoring are running over, the first is inexusable, and the second illegal, and is cause for pause ASAP under Federal, State, and New York Human Rights laws protecting those with disabilities, plus a small law called Hipaa, which protects EVERYONE, which mandates that NOBODY is allowed to force you to reveal your disability OR your health records, even if perfectly healthy, according to conventional wisdom, unless you are required to ask for an accommodation per federal disability law.  And the hell that breaks loose when you do.  Meaning, we are going to make your life a living hell until you quit because we don’t want gimps on payroll.  Don’t believe me?  The New York nurses certainly know that.  That’s one of the reasons that they are scraping barrels of barrels in the middle of this economic nightmare, to find the nastiest MF lawyers on the planet to file these lawsuits against the state. And the feds.   Because those DO NOT come cheap.

Keep reading.  I do hope I have your attention now, because that is VERY easy to verify online.  And not on sites like Aliens-R-Us.com.

What’s worse, especially in the middle of the worst DEPRESSION, let’s call it like it is (and the worst housing crisis in New York city since the thirties thanks to Mr. Bloomberg and now Secretary of HUD Mr. Donovan’s God Awful housing policies) which have led to the worst housing crisis since the Great Depression, and should instantly make every New Yorker vote against Hizzoner, since it’s costing the city and the state an absolute fortune to house shelters to the overflowing point (costing taxpayers between $36-$37,000 per bed per year.)

Or to put this in perspective, more than ten grand a year more than my unregulated non rent controlled studio apartment in the cheapest part of the city.  And of course is a breeding ground for a real pandemic if it happens, which is why Bloomberg is even more irresponsible and deserves to be canned this fall.  And Paterson definitely deserves to go down, because he’s planning on making this permanent.  FOR EVERYBODY IN THE STATE.  OR YOU CAN’T GET HIRED, OR OWN ANY KIND OF PROFESSIONAL LICENSE.  That would include things like say, MDs, PhDs law degrees, MBAs, Title 7 Certifications.  You know, that kind of thing.  Those throw away, trashy, low brow people.

Of course what makes this even worse is that just the disclosure, not to mention the full blown development of a visible disability of any kind can lead to instant termination in whatever job you work in and no matter how much you get paid, (trust me it happened to me, even though it is highly illegal but a statute that is never enforced), not to mention discrimination on the job and often leads to a situation called in legalese, constructive discharge, which means that they make your life so miserable that you quit on your own because nobody wants to have gimps on the payroll (90% of the 20% of the population of the U.S. with a disability is unemployed and lives in poverty because of this kind of discriminatory attitude and lack of enforcement of the law).

A fact the Obama administration has done absolutely NOTHING to address except to say per Mr. Dale, the sole White House employee with a disability, who only works on the issues of people with disabilities on a part time basis, that “more study is needed” when they have a very good plan submitted by me that solves the plan very handily, not to mention that is an attitude, not to mention approach to the solution, that is complete and utter BULLSHIT.  It’s called ADAPTIVE TECHNOLOGY.

But nonetheless the one adopted by the so called geniuses at the White House.  And one that is costing you, wherever you are, as a U.S. taxpayer, a fortune.

Just disability payments alone (not counting housing, medical care, etc.) and deliberately excluding approximately 1/5 of the population of the U.S. from the workforce, (even the feds only hire less than 1% of their workforce from the ranks of us gimps and on average at jobs two grades lower than their able bodied colleagues for no reason whatsoever except discrimination) costs you, the taxpayer the equivalent of the entire U.S. deficit every year.  IN JUST DISABILITY PAYMENTS ALONE.  And trust me, given what I’ve seen, there are a great deal of folks who work for the state, and I’m keeping a list of just those I’ve encountered to date, who are guilty of widespread disabilities fraud, as in they incited me to apply, when I knew I was not eligable, and that is a little no-no called FRAUD.  A belief by the way just backed up by very senior folks at HHS.  And they would be the ones making the ultimate sign off on these things, and I believe in the scheme of things, would outrank and be more educated both state  AND city officials opinions on the matter.  At least in the eyes of the Judiciary anyway.  And on these issues, that is ALL THAT COUNTS, to the considerable embarrassment and a lot of red faces in a certain part of the world if certain things don’t happen (God, isn’t the suspense killing you?  It should be, because this one is big).

Just a hunch, but I did work in the nation’s Capitol at a rather high level for quite  a few years, as I think I’ve mentioned before.  And yes, the feds do have final say over federal disability eligibility, you dipshits.

Not to mention, is this kind of discrimination really worth it?

Especially since what is called adaptive technology (such as talking computers, and a lot of IT, can level the playing field at work).  The answer of course is NO, it’s not, but Obama and Co. have done absolutely nothing to address it, while only adding to the problem by escalating two wars and in fact adding to the population of those with disabilities, including one of the most complicated to date to treat, called TBI, or traumatic brain injury, effectively doubling the population of those who have the condition in the U.S., with no plan except mine, which lies unnoticed and untouched in several federal agencies and the White House, but was highly praised at the TBI Centers for Excellence at DoD as being FAR AHEAD OF THEM AS AN AGENCY for dealing with the problem.  But I digress.  Only slightly though.

Because one of the other problems with the swine flu vaccination is the well documented fear, and growing evidence of neurological problems that come with it, which I’ll come back to in a moment.

Mandatory inoculation or you lose your job is also a violation of OSHA, which is a worker’s protection act, protecting workers, even non-union ones, in right to work states, from dangerous and hazardous working conditions, which this most certainly is.  See above.  If you develop a disabling disability, or even a disability at all, you will most certainly be fired, with no obligation from your employer for worker’s comp, thanks to the legal immunity given to the drug makers by the Federal Government.  And fired you most definitely will be, given the state of most employers’ attitudes about reasonable accommodations.  Not to mention the potential side effects of the vaccine itself.

And trust me, you don’t want to go through the horrific nightmare of being both fired and stuck with the kinds of disabilities this vaccine can cause.  Because with the EEOC taking, as in my case, two years and counting in just INVESTIGATIONS (which is technically illegal, but nevertheless that is their track record right now), and not being allowed to go on disability otherwise you lose your case according to most federal case law, which is sort of counter productive and a giant oversight missed by Congress in their redo of the ADA last year, not to mention a reduction in your contractual value as a gimp, again per federal case law in every circuit under, rather ironically, the Civil Rights Act of 1991…literally meaning that you are worth less as a human being in the eyes of the judiciary, just like slaves were, this is really pernicious and rotten.

And more than fucked up.

It is also a violation of Title VII, as this mandatory inoculation program appears to be aimed at mostly “healthcare workers” and nurses, not doctors, and of course that population is mostly women.  And of course pregnancy discrimination is a major problem under the Bloomberg administration (he’s been sued for it) as well as the horrific and well documented problems of Wall Street firms have with women, who of course, along with the pharma industry, stand to make a killing in all of this.  And you don’t get an exemption from being inoculated if you are pregnant, even though there is plenty of evidence that this vaccine can harm unborn children too.  Since this disease is supposedly transmitted via human to human contact, you’re not immune if you live on Park Avenue.  And trust me, if you’re a high flier, power player working at say Goldman Sachs, and happen to get the Swine Flu and a bad reaction the next time you visit your proctologist, well, tough shit, you’re toast buddy.

Ooops.  Forgot about that in your snuffling “oink oink” in the foie gras, paid for by more of OUR TAXPAYER MONEY than you will ever pay back, while not changing your ways at all, while the rest of America starves to death, didn’t ya?

There also appears to be a lot of lying about what exactly is in the damned vaccine to begin with.  Not to mention it’s efficacy.  And that for some strange reason, GERMAN soldiers are getting a completely different version of the drug that contains none of the problematic chemicals that are causing all the fuss in other countries all over the world.

For starters, nobody is contesting that the vast majority of the vaccines being distributed globally contains mercury, which is definitely hazardous to your health, as is plainly marked on say sea food, but for some reason when it comes to swine flu vaccines, “officials” are saying that it’s perfectly fine.  Even though it appears that the FDA may have never properly tested these vaccines and in fact is now headed to court because it’s getting sued for apparently violating federal law for lying about its testing procedure, whether these vaccines were properly tested at all, AND for lying to the public about the safety of these medications in the first place, in a chilling act reminiscent of what happened during the seventies.

Isn’t that exciting?  And can you spell U.S. GOVERNMENT LAWSUIT.  Not that there isn’t one already, and one has already been filed.  As in a Mother of one?  If not several.  And if they attempt to make ANY excuses that this is a time of war, or we are in a supposed state of emergency, I have plenty of evidence to show that more people are getting sick from the VACCINE than from the virus itself.  Not to mention that this “terrorism” crap is overblown, and we most certainly are not at war with our own people, particularly veterans who have just gotten their asses kicked to fight for this country.  Although given the crappy way they’ve been treated yet, give them the right cause, and they’ll probably do some whup ass too.

So this might be an act of the government plotting something like say a coup?  Because they KNOW what a crappy job they are doing.  And HOW BAD THINGS REALLY ARE.  AND HOW FED UP PEOPLE ARE.  And that there’s no recovery coming anywhere near a place near you, coming soon. Especially given it’s own acts to date to cover it’s ass?  And Obama’s remarkable backtracking on so many core issues in his campaign.

And wasn’t Ms. Sebellius’ act to make these bastards immune from lawsuits for their defective products responsible?  Especially given the pharma industry’s track record?  And probably came from direct orders from guess who?  Who also has done other really stupid and irresponsible things for the benefit of Wall Street and the pharma industry lately, like give up the right of the government to negotiate mass discounts for drugs.  Not to mention the crap that is healthcare deform legislation.  And I won’t even touch the so-called Bank Bailout issue, because that’s a subject for another blog that I could go on a rant for for decades.

But back to swine flu.  Mercury stays in the brain for a long time and is one of the reasons that so many MEDICAL people are linking vaccines that include mercury to neurological illnesses like say Autism, which the Obama administration claims it has made a top priority (so this push for swine flu vaccinations is kind of like shooting yourself in the foot).  The second is that it also causes other really nasty neurological diseases as well because it appears that the vaccine contains adjuvants (or boosters) which also have nasty side effects, (which officials have actually, in the face of medical research from extremely well qualified and well known medical institutions GLOBALLY) to deny (I mean, honey, as in YOU Ms. Sebelius, you are not in Kansas anymore, nor is your first name Dorothy, and there is this new fangled invention that’s been around for say, oh I don’t know a QUARTER OF A CENTURY, called the internet, in case you’ve never heard about THAT yet back in the hinterlands, so people can easily call you on you BULLSHIT).  But these diseases caused just by the vaccination,  have no cure for, and the best medication is currently outlawed for (marijuana), including a disease called dystonia, which I also have, thanks, in my case to my former employer’s illegal actions rather than medication, but nonetheless, the suffering, misery, consequences and horrific pain are all the same.  Click here for a story and to see video for what this condition does to you, on a horrific case far worse than mine THAT WAS DRUG INDUCED AND DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE SWINE FLU VACCINATION.

But the ingredients in this little witches’ brew are also linked to things like Gulf War syndrome, multiple schlerosis, and other very nasty neurological diseases.  Which of course medical workers and their infected patients can pass on to their wives and children.  EVEN THEIR UNBORN ONES.

EVEN BETTER PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY RIGHT?

As for me and my dystonia?  I just get called retard in public and my left side hurts like hell, and I run the constant risk of being misdiagnosed as having a psychiatric condition (a common problem for everyone with either TBI or dystonia) because there is no plan to deal with it except for a plan that I have created that also deals with TBI (the so called “signature wound of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,” that the White House is currently ignoring but still has no plan to deal with in any way), but trust me, it affects my whole left side and is one of THE most painful neurological diseases there is.  I currently take Marinol (fake THC) but only after convincing my GP that the FDA is currently funding trials on it for the condition (despite Obama’s denials that legalizing marijuana is a good idea). And only then after suffering through multiple other drugs the “industry” is pushing that I’m horrifically allergic to.

My neurologist insisted I take something far more dangerous and addictive.  With horrific side effects of their own.  I refused.   This is called PATIENT CHOICE.  AND THE ACTIONS OF AN INFORMED CONSUMER.  However the deliberately created government monopoly of ONE company that makes the drug I take now (primarily used for cancer and AIDS patients) makes the drug so expensive that even on Medicaid, where the government still retains its power to negotiate prices, which Obama stupidly gave up the right to do for other government healthcare programs (I mean if we get bulk discounts for tanks, don’t you think we should get them for medication too?) costs the U.S. taxpayer $800 for just two pills, and I take about six of them a day.  Good going Barack!

And excellent policy isn’t it?  When this could be an excellent source of green jobs and a high dollar cash crop in a tanking economy and a very good source of competition for a corrupt industry that the U.S. government is absolutely dead set against. Not to mention used for plenty of other things.  Like say an alternative for petroleum.  And clothing, and a ton of other things.

Why?

Because their buddies in the pharma industry, and the energy industry and Wall Street hate it.  That’s why.

Good policy, right?

But back to swine flu.

What’s really chilling is that New York State is also the place where Obama has been playing King maker lately, which is really pissing a lot of New York Democrats off, and setting up both a U.S. Democrat for an unchallenged primary Senate seat next year, and demolishing Paterson (who I’m no fan of, but the President needs to keep his hands out of local politics, thanks all the same), not to mention a Billionaire Mayor who decided that it was in the best interests of voters who absolutely voted for two term limits for the Mayors of New York to undermine the process and run for a third term in office, despite his disastrous policies.  And a craven city council who gave in to Hizzoner, to the incredible dismay of the citizens of the city.

He deserves to lose just on his housing policies, which are costing the taxpayers a fortune, (while all those luxury condos he and Donovan built while demolishing affordable housing are now sitting empty because nobody can afford them) and for enabling THIS vaccination crap, rather than fighting it.  In fact the rumor I’ve gotten to date is that Bloomberg plans to make the entire public health department of New York City take the damned thing as well.  Just to prove how PC and hip he is.

What a wild and craaaaazy guy.

I have a suggestion for Hizzoner.  He can take that idea and shove it.  In an orifice that he normally doesn’t use for pleasure.  Without the lubrication.  I hope the imagery is clear enough, because if it isn’t, I’m willing to sink the gutter to stop this crap.  And trust me, you don’t want to fight with Gimp Godzilla.  That would be me, if there was any confusion on the matter.

I hope every New Yorker reading this post votes against him because of it, because it’s absolutely disgusting.  And endangers your life in a very real and serious way.

His policy on gimps by the way is to effectively limit their employment in city jobs to 700 positions in a city of 8 million people and limit set asides in affordable housing to 2% in lotteries when our percentage in the population is ten times that.  Mr. Donovan shares the same mindset and is just as responsible, which is one of the reasons the housing market nationally is in such a mess and the Mortgage Bailout Bill sucked so badly.  And why so many people nationally are losing their homes.

Aren’t Mr. Obama’s cabinet picks just great?

But Bloomberg is grinding New York into the ground, and doing it so cynically he’s a close runner up to Obama on the local level in that department.  This year, he’s a supposed advocated for the poor (last year he ran his mouth about the fact that “New York was for Rich People”).  Never mind the inscription on the base of the Statue of Liberty.  He, like Obama, even makes fun of gimps.  In Bloomberg’s case, it was actually to humiliate a PWD reporter at a press conference to his face.  But he has no real intention of helping the poor.  He’s only interested, like Obama, in helping the rich.

His policies have certainly maintained that mindset.

And this is just the latest insult.  Although this thing should be scaring even the richest New Yorker, because you’ve got to go see the doctor too.

But ultimately folks, the scariest thing of all, is that as the protesters in Albany pointed out, we here in the Empire State, may be YOUR lab rats, wherever you are.  Along of course with all the enlisted souls, who have been told that vaccinations are mandatory. And that plans are already underway for quarantining, not just firing, ANYBODY who refuses to take the damned vaccine.  Nationally.  Which among other things, violates a little Constitutional law called THE FOURTH AMENDMENT, THE FIFTH AMENDMENT., and of course the inaliable RIGHT to OWN property (as IN SLAVERY HAS BEEN OUTLAWED FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND I PLAN ON KEEPING IT THAT WAY), you know, those kind of unimportant Constitutional Rights.  Not to mention EVERY CIVIL RIGHT ON THE PLANET.  OH, and HUMAN RIGHT TOO .   Small potatoes, I know, but if you don’t know what those are, I highly suggest you click on the links I’ve kindly provided to a couple of these issues, and do some internet research on the others “right quick” as my great grandmother Ethel used to say.

She was a direct discendent, as am I, of the first two women in U.S. History, to have served on the front line of any U.S. battle, in a little dustup called the Battle of King’s Mountain.  Which for all you history buffs out there is considered the turning point of a little historical fracus called THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR.  And DoD still discriminates, unlike say more progressive countries like Israel, to allow women battlefield positions and leadership positions that lead to say DoD Appointments. And Commander in Chief.

Even though I’ve already kicked DoD and the SecDef (sorry that’s Washington wonk speak for Secretary of Defense) in the ass already.  At the age of 27.

So you know I’m not lying about being Gimp Godzilla.  They do exist for real, just like in the movies, and after all, most “fiction” is well disguised reality anyway for those not in the know.   With some psychology and older people’s widsom thrown in for good measure.

I mean since we are on a meander, but a relative one, and you will see what I mean in a minute, not to mention using symbolism, something that alot of people have trouble with understanding these days, for some reason.  Perhaps our education system trains us to be clones?  Because according to some VERY, VERY illegal testing procedures I’ve just turned up somewhere in the Universe (but sure to come leaking out of a blog or a sieve somewhere pretty soon…ooops, did I say that?) I think some re-education, not to mention reorganization of who actually runs this country is in order.  I.E. Those who pay the bills.  THE US  TAXPAYERS.

And by the way, there was a BIG HINT, as in a teaser for stay tuned for a potential whopper, or cliffhanger, as those Old Flash Gordon series used to call them.

And I would remind THEM, and especially their federally elected representatives, especially those say out of California, you know where big budget flicks are made, to think of me in symbolic ways, so we are all on the same page.

Both the Terminator and Darth Vader, plus of course Luke after he has some rather intensive father to son, um bonding, were all PWDs with really killer mobile apps.  May be the Force Be With You.  Or if you wish a more human and feminine version and visualization, Sigourney Weaver in the “Aliens” series meets Linda Hamilton with killer mobile apps doing Whup ass on the bad guys.  And prepared to do it in ways you do not even begin to understand, know or see.

Capiche?

Because this crap is NOT going to fly anymore.  And has already started to happen at our Borders, so we are already in the middle of this.

They are already REFUSING entrance back into the U.S. at airports if you are a suspected carrier.  And take a look at this.  Which is another little legacy from Bush that both Obama and his buddy Deval Patrick are cooking up for us and don’t intend to change.  And what gave Sebelius the right to do what she did this summer.

So now you know what is really in store for ya under Obamacare, because this stinks of that too.  And as for New Yorkers, whoever and wherever you are, I’d say it’s time for some serious protest, whatever field you work in.

Even if it’s Wall Street.

Because if you get sick, it’s out the door you go.  They don’t like gimps on the Street.   (Or anywhere else for that matter)  But the Masters of the Universe who think they were so clever in cooking this scheme up, also by the way, just to rub it in your noses, you assholes, because YOU CREATED THIS, TRAVEL REGULARLY, INTERNATIONALLY.  AND THEREFORE ROUTINELY FACE THOSE AIRPORT CHECKS.

You see how dumb the supposed “Masters of the Universe” really are?  And short sighted?  And greedy?

Weren’t thinking about that at the time, were you, you pigs?  Just money.  And how can we screw the peons yet again?

Trust me.  I worked at the heart of it.  Been there, done, that, as the saying goes.

And Wall Street has about as much respect, actually less, if that’s possible, for federal civil rights law as securities law.

Been there, done that, got an extra disability because of it.  And had my whole life destroyed because of it.  While waiting two years and counting for the EEOC to finish investigating my case.  While of course being even more vulnerable to something like a real pandemic.  And having everyone, from the feds on down and multiple departments at that, continue to discriminate, while getting called retard in public just for the privilege.  Which of course the president thinks is hilarious, but he should try it sometime.  He wouldn’t think it was so goddamned funny.

And maybe then he’d move his ass on the issue.

But until then, I thought I’d give you a heads up about the crap that’s going on in the Empire State.  And what is probably coming your way soon.  And as I just shocked you, AREADY HAS.  And will probably affect the very people who thought they were going to make a financial killing out of it the first and hardest.

Isn’t that poetic justice?  But will ultimately be a hell of a mess for everyone.  And result in horrific suffering and endless victims.

Unless you put your feet down NOW and start making a hell of a fuss.  As in all bets are off.

That means calling the White House, emailing them till their servers go down, barraging Congress that the piece of crap legislation that Baucus and Rahmbo cooked up won’t cut it, and if you are a New Yorker, voting Bloomberg out of office, and making sure that either Paterson shapes up, or Cuomo gets the message he WON’T be governor next year unless he gets the message loud and clear.  On this and several other issues.  And Schumer, well, he needs to find another way to pay his bills.  That I think needs to be a very clearly communicated message.  Because he is a good senator on a lot of things.  And last year did something very brave politically.  It’s too wonky and DC-ish to explain in this blog post, but trust me, he’s done, for a politician, some good things for the State of New York.  He just needs to get over his ‘tude about meeting with me.  He does, after all, work FOR me.  And if we would like to exchange resumes, any day.

Because trust me, this swine flu thing is a very, very, nasty situation that you don’t want to find yourself in.

And probably coming to a state near you very soon.  And has already hit our shores.

For which you can thank both Obamas and Congress.

Oink, oink.

What pigs.

To paraphrase U.S. House of Representative Ron Paul, a Republican from Texas, you’d probably think the LAST kind of person I would normally agree with so many issues on, including this one, “forced vaccination programs are really just financial bonanzas for drug makers.”

Like they need additional help right now?  Especially with that piece of stinking merde Obama and Congress are trying to pass off as “Healthcare Deform” right now?  And another little teaser that is going to rock your boat when you find out about it (and you will, but that’s just a tease, and a reminder to some government folks that they better get a move on), you will absolutely go through THE STRATOSPHERE when you learn about.  I don’t care what flag you fly under or what political party you voted for.  This is such a no-no that I believe it may be a law that has never been broken.

It’s that bad.

So for this crap to be happening now, and here, and ANYONE in government, at ANY LEVEL, and yea, that means, you, the Feds, including ol’ wazzizzname at 1600 Penn. expecting me to treat you as anything but well trimmed shrubbery if you get in my way to Justice, which is really about issues that every American can understand, I have just one little piece of advice.

“You have to be,” and excuse the upcoming profanity, but cover your eyes if it’s THAT offensive (but as I say, if it’s good enough for Rahmbo, it’s good enough for me….I’ve already kicked his ass once too, what do you want – Barbie?) but there is no other phrase to describe it, “FUCKING KIDDING ME.”

Isn’t their definition of “change” something you can believe in?

NOT.

STAY TUNED.  I believe we may be entering the Twilight Zone, Tonto.  And it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

I Hate to be Right – The “State of Swine Flu Emergency” hits

I have just a really, really short post today.

My blog predicting this scenario of “Declaration of National Emergency” by our grand Poobah in Chief, on the swine flu crap, which means you HAVE NO RIGHTS AT ALL, including detention centers, quarantine, overreaction, and Massive and Quick Movement by Obama to qwell the growing groundswell of protest in New York, was posted here, on this site, almost exactly one week ago today.

If you don’t believe me, check it out.

It does hurt to be right.  And kind of old when you are continually ignored.

And I do distinctly remember telling you that this was coming your way, pretty flipping soon.

Which means I’m so dead on how I read that MF in the White House it’s not even funny.  Oh, and know DC Politics like the back of my hand.

And so have my other blogs predicted this, on the topic of
“healthcare,” not to mention  have brought up other issues ignored by the mainstream press and blogosphere.

And that some people might want to start reading.

For your own health.

Folks, the proverbial crap has just hit the fan.

As of now, legally, you have no rights.

As in Constitutional ones.  That’s what happens in “States of National Emergency.”

Not to mention you’ve just kissed goodby to all the other minor ones that come up more regularly.   Like oh, let us say, property rights (which are Constitutional ones too, but everyone seems to forget that).  Especially in pro business courts, and even more so when it’s individual’s rights against that of a corporation, or of course the government itself (which is kind of a contradiction when you think about who pays the salaries of Supreme Court Justices. Not to mention who they owe allegiance to for nominating them in the first place), which yes, technically is a “legal” entity.

But a corporation, or the government, is not a human being.  And the humans, or perhaps inhuman and unethical turds calling the shots, literally as in this case, or actually in many states, it will be the even worse spray, don’t care about those things.  Because they have ways out, legal immunity, much more money, including the backing of the federal government, to legally if nothing else, screw you in court.

But you see, even those rights don’t exist any more, because there are no more laws in effect EXCEPT MARTIAL ORDER AND LAW.

Ya Vol Mein Obama?

We are literally under military rule in our own country.

That’s called a junta, or a coup in countries that were formerly known as “banana republics.”

Sit and stare at the computer, and let that sink in for awhile.

And then starting kicking ass in DC and the local level to SAY NO, THIS IS NOT THE CHANGE WE WERE VOTING FOR.   OR WILL STAND FOR.

As as for my second Amendment rights, you know what they say in North Carolina, perhaps the one bit of wisdom the state government has ever produced.

The motto of the state, and my suggested reponse to this situation, is “Don’t Tread on Me.”

Meaning for those retards in the White House (who think they are so clever), you can take that swine flu vaccine and shove it up your derriere.

Not ours, mandatorily.

You’ve just caused the conditions for a national rebellion. Even in your so called base of rich folk.  Because they have to take the damned thing too.  Or at least for now, go to the doctor.  And so do their children.

Clever you.

With things like the elections next year coming up?  I don’t care what party you run on, like say Green, or Independent, (sorry, but with the exception of Ron Paul, and perhaps a few others on isolated issues, most nationally elected Republicans went nuts years ago) we kick those SOB’s out of Congress en masse.  ASAP.  On both sides of the aisle.

Rambo, no pun intended, for a supposed political blackbelt strategist, you suck.  Not to mention you’ve just shot yourself in the foot.  If not in the @$@.

And gives Obama even less of a leg to stand on.  On ANYTHING.  As in DANGER, this is a man who lied his way into office, and plans on keeping every Bush policy under the sun in place, when it suits his Majesty’s conveneniece.

But then again, it’s your life.  I’m trying to figure out a way to get out of here as soon as possible.  And I don’t care if they are doing airport checks.  If Americans let that sort of thing happen to them, and do nothing, like the proverbial frogs in a pan of slowly boiling water, who don’t know they are being boiled alive until it’s too late (although at this point, I would suggest some pole vaulting is in order) this is not a country I want to live in.

EVER.

AGAIN.

And neither do you, I suspect, no matter what flag you fly under.  Or box you check at the electoral booth.  Coming very, very soon.

This IS HOW Hitler took over Germany, and kissed the Weimar Republic ta ta.  Before his SS and Gestapo murdered or beat the crap out of it.  And I’m the child of a German Jewish Holocaust survivor (most of my relatives died in Buchenwald) but I’ve heard the stories of those who survived first hand, so I’ve heard enough about what happened, when it did, mass panics caused by government propoganda, etc. to know we are dealing with THE SAME THING NOW IN THIS COUNTRY, but with the added special kicker of a political sociopath in the White House.

Of the kind and order that this country, nor any others in history that I know of, have ever seen.

So if I were you, come Monday Morning, I would put my foot down, and start getting off your couches, because folks, you REALLY don’t want to go through this kind of thing.  And if you don’t believe me in terms of my reading the times, not to mention the kind of crap we are about to weather, see my blog one week ago, on exactly this issue, not to mention predicting it would happen sooner rather than later, to know that I’m pretty good at predicting what Mr. Messiah’s next moves are going to be.

And if I were you, the terms “greased lightning response and giant roar of NO” should be heard loud and clear.

I Hate to Be Right – Part II, Revenge of a Jedi Master

Just a little update on the Swine Flu story, not to mention a giant FU to the many detractors of this story on Open Salon.com, under the self blogging part of the site called “Open Salon,” one of my feeder sites, who have made comments to the blog post on the site, and specifically on my investigative journalist postings on the Swine Flu disaster,  that are sexist, demeaning, defaminatory, and ACTIONABLE (that means you can get sued for all of those not interested in learning any legal mumbo jumbo, or are clueless about the law in general).

Not to mention that the purpose of investigative journalism is to inform the public.  And not to gloat.  But this is worth a response in kind because not ony are my Salon readers out to lunch, they sound like peevish children, sexist assholes, or women’s determination to discriminate against other women (more and more common in the courts these days, by the way, and which I believe the rules of Oncale would prevail here), and if you don’t know what that decision is or means, GO LOOK IT UP.  I’m through linking on this issue (well, no, not really), but today I have a lot to do.  And I wanted to teach you a further lesson.

What is laughable about the dramatic difference in tone, respect and of course the wide reposting on LEGAL and LEGAL FEEDER SITES, who of course know and study the law considering my investigative reporting on this issue, and the comments I’ve gotten on Open Salon.  And tragic.  Because it shows how much Americans do not know their rights or even what is going on politically (locally, nationally) on an issue that is going to be a critical and vital one to getting out of the mess we are in financially.

Not to mention the risks to their own lives.

While I have no desire to gloat, because this is not the time, place or reason to claim prescience, and understanding of politics, the reason I’m doing this is to make a point.  The people making such postings are doing it on a liberal-ish blog (Glenn Greenwald is one of their “star reporters,” and it’s run by an establishment mentality journalist called Joan Welsh who deny reality when it is stuck in their faces or have so much ‘tude) it’s ridiculous.

And shows you how bloggers can sometimes be blacklisted by the so-called “informed” and “liberal” mainstream websites (I’m not saying the Right doesn’t do it either, don’t get me wrong.)

But in general, not only is this more ridiculous, because I have quoted from people on both sides of the aisle, not to mention even linked to “shudder” so-called major media sites who are corresponding what I say, so there is proof I am not only sourcing this information from supposedly trusted sources, but names that carry Clout (i.e. The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and even THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WEBSITES THEMSELVES, which is standard practice in what is called “real investigative reporting” rules I am very familiar with, having worked as a journalist in mainstream news, in DC, for a major outlet (global), not to mention an indie film maker and documentary maker that directly changed legislation in Congress (and you can get a sneak peak at my self hosted website, under construction, and make sure you click on at least some of the game links, because they are hysterical, and will make you feel better about your day.  When I finish telling Salon.com and its readers off.   Go to http://myblog-thatgoeswithoutspeaking.com.  It’s under construction, but look at how many advertisers I have, and while I’ll probably gussy them up once the site is connected to my wordpress site (along with all my other feeder blogs)

But I digress for that moment of shameless act of survival (it’s a well monetized site, guys, and a few clicks or even a few purchases of the items I have already linked to major sites, would save my life.  Because I get a commission for every book I sell, for example, off the site.  And there are plenty already in the tabs section, that I guarantee you, you will probably want to have handy right now.

Because this is not a gloat post at all you see.  It’s what happens when a corrupt and screwed up government literally forces you into the streets.  And holds your head under water.

Not to mention the sign of something worse going on, but I have yet to get the proof I need (although I know I will) in writing.

In other words, the act of a responsible journalist.

But to give you an idea of what I face.  And how this could easily happen to you.

Because dystonia and TBI, not to mention specifically what kind of TBI I have (it’s called an arachnoid cyst, and if you don’t know what that is, again, I’m too busy to link it) are so rare  in and of themselves, and the connection is both neurological, as in the conditions themselves, are not understood by many so-called “experts” in the field.”  Not to mention just a foreign language to the average emergency room physician, and even many well respected neurologists (and has never been studied in women), in either it’s affect (which can be caused by medication, like the swine flu vaccine itself) or brain damage, is a subject I HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO MY DOCTORS MYSELF.

And what’s even more fascinating is the looks on their faces that again, I AM RIGHT.

But you see, and this is the moral of the story, when a government takes over two years and counting to even investigate your illegal termination case (I haven’t worked for a salary in about three years), you lose your healthcare after enduring a working environment that created the second and visible disability (dystonia), I cannot get hired.  By anyone.

I don’t qualify for disability, even if I wanted to go there, because I have pointed out, there is a difference between being disabled (i.e. incapacitated), or a person with a disability.  But not one respected or understood by those who administer the government programs.  But backed up to the hilt by senior people at HHS, who make the final decisions on these things,  showing how discriminatory the state and government workers who run these programs really are.  And how determined they are to keep us in our place.

As gimps.  Worthless.  Useless to society.

So unless I had the legal and understanding of psychology, psychiatry, and neurology, would long ago have ended up where many others have.

Which is a lifetime of poverty, isolation, and misery, the vast majority of the time.

But nevertheless, in my case, my ONLY option for survival is getting a grant from the government.  And because I’m a gimp, I get sent to gimp programs.

Who seem to think, since they are in charge, that they know more (they don’t) on the kinds of disabilitilies I have (they’ve never heard of them before, much less know how to treat them) and are absolutely determined, since I decided that ten months was enough to wait (and we’ve only gotten here this fast because of continual ass kicking and escalations to the state level), and have just done something really stupid.

AND HIGHLY ILLEGAL.

So stay tuned if you want to see (figuratively) a useless doormat female gimp (in their eyes anyway, and certainly in which the ways they have treated me to date, not to mention mentally retarded, when it is clear that I am not and have so much evidence to the contrary, that I have taken it upon myself to call myself “Gimp Godzilla” in my dealings with them.

In other words, stay tuned, if you want to see the average Jane, go Whup Ass.

And you’ve got front row seats.

And in the end, I think you’ll change your mind about me.

You see, ultimately, and in very human terms, I’m showing you what is going to be an increasingly graphic fight for survival againt a government, who’s policies are literally creating my destruction.

And why that Swine Flu series of blogs was important.

As will many other be.  I don’t want this to happen to you.  As it easily could if you don’t move your ass to stop it.

Because of the government, I have no income, all my savings are long gone, I don’t qualify for Disability, but nobody will hire me.

Therefore I’m supposed to subsist on welfare.  For the rest of my life.   Unless I think up another way of generating income (I’ll get to that in a moment).  Which, and now I’ll give part of the game away, not to mention that some public officials need to learn their lessons.  And stop screwing with me.  And wasting time that I don’t have.    Which means officials in the State of New York, in particular right now, (ooops, so now you know where I’m based), need to shape up, move their asses and change their tune.

But in New York, public assistance is about $400 a month.

I have nowhere to go.  Except the streets.

Which is why I am fighting as hard as I am.

And why this post.   Because in an effort to make me look stupid, retarded, paranoid, or just plain clueless, Salon’s readers have missed the point.

This too, could easily happen to you.

And this blog is going to show you, in upcoming posts, about how you defend yourself and survive.

Because thanks to Obama’s shameful punting on the issue, and his irresponsible, if not lawbreaking efforts on the WRONG side of the issue, which include healthcare deform, this is a mirror you could be staring into unfortunately all too soon.

Unless you do something about it.

Oh, and by the way, for those who are really politically retarded, this is Obama’s way of playing Machiavelli.  And what it leads to.

You see Paterson is in a dying race for Governor next year.  And in an efforts to gain back his favor, in a knee wobbling response, instituted this mandatory or your fired crap under pressure from the President, who has made it clearly known he’s favoring Cuomo at the moment (and I’m not Paterson fan, but this is how big time, deep water, national politics works).  And the signs of a crooked, win at all costs, political sociopath, not to mention narcissistic head honcho at 1600 Penn.

So Paterson goes ahead and does this, at the advice of his chief medical officer in the state.  Who, as it turns out to be, in late breaking news, the newly minted millionaire of the state because of his supposedly “science and law based” decision, since it turns out that he and his wife own stocks in the vaccine maker’s themselves.   Plus other highly illegal issues.    And stood to make a personal financial windfall for himself personally.  No matter what the impact on the health of the state.  All he cared about was dollars.  Responsible public health policy?  Huh, not a chance, when dollars are at stake.  Particularly the ones that flow directly or indirectly, back to you.  Something Obama also does by the way.

Which in turn, of course has created the PERFECT issue for Cuomo to prove himself the defender of the state, and “investigate this” in his efforts to propel himself to the Governor’s seat next year.

Which means two things.

1.  HHS is either out to lunch or in on the act.  You decide.  Sebelius is a former pharma company exec, and governor of Kansas before Obama tapped her for DC “service”.  And health directors can justify their actions, as in this case, as acting on, before the supposed “State of Emergency,” the advice and counsel of that federal agency.

2.  This is a double thrust, heads up and FU, from the sharks at the White House to Paterson, who think their strategy is both brilliant and invisible.  Not to mention highly illegal.   You see I think this was a move to set up Paterson.  Among other things.  And orchestrated by the White House.

If you don’t understand, THEY KNEW, that the state health director was on the take, not to mention crooked, and sat on him from HHS to implement this policy.  Of course, I’m sure they will claim otherwise, but trust me, these are not state secrets.  And Paterson knows that Obama’s buddy in a state next door (called Massachusetts, and who’s governor is both a personal friend of Obama’s and put into office by the same political strategist (Axelturf).  So of course there was pressure put on him probably directly and indirectly, to make plans to do exactly what Obama’s buddy Patrick is.  Therefore proving he’s a good loyal “boy” after all.

And so of course Obama putting pressure on Paterson to follow his mandates and cabinet official’s advice, was in fact itself an act of political destruction.  In handing Cuomo THE issue he needs to run to prove his status as the “savior of the state.”

And when that went south, thanks to among the lawsuits being filed, particularly the REALLY embarressing one against the FDA, Obama just decided, screw it, no more messing around.

It’s National Emergency Time.  I’m the Massah, you have to do what I say.

And if you think that’s a paranoid delusion, how come both the decision of Paterson and his stupid health director (or Typhoid Mary) as I like to refer to him lately, and the President’s announcement came out EXACTLY the same time.

Meaning, FU with screwing around with those liberals in New York (also called mostly working class nurses and government workers).  I’m the Messiah, I won, and I’m in charge.  I’m going to have my way.

National Emergency Time.

Go ahead and argue with that logic all you want.  But that’s how national politics, not to mention the brand of it, that Obama plays.

Which is dirty, undemocratic, and illegal.

More on the topic coming your way soon.

But a word to the wise, you’re tangling with Gimp Godzilla.

And I do not suffer fools easily.

I Am The Army

“A conquered nation is like a man with cancer: he can think of nothing else.“ 
George Bernard Shaw

I thought I’d take a break from healthcare issues and spend this blog on another of Obama’s idiotic moves – that in foreign policy.

More specifically our involvement in Afganistan and Obama’s absolutely idiotic decision to remain the middle of the mess.   Not to mention escalating it.

No matter how supposedly touching his “honoring the dead” photo op, I suppose planned to regain public support for the war, for the dead kids returned from the wars he is waging.   Especially suspicious, if not outright cynical, with this little story starting to float on the blogosphere.

Which is more than hyprocritical than touching if he really cared about those killed in action for a horrific and amoral war.  And even more so when you consider his appalling coverups about the horrific medical care, not to mention his own decision to delay disability payments to wounded vets at the VA.  Not to mention his complete MIA on the issue of TBI, the so called “signature wound” of both wars we are fighting, even though he has a very good proposal in the White House already which deals with the issue, but his stupid staff won’t bring it to his attention.

But back to Obama’s pious BS in what I can only think is yet another public exhibit of the man’s self regard for himself and that he has this egocentric delusion he’s smarter than anyone else, and knows more about everyone on everything on the planet (on any subject, but particularly one this macho) that justifies his stupid and downright suicidal military overseas foreign policy decisions.

More specifically Afghanistan and the Obama future strategy there.

Another “compromise” that is going to turn absolutely tragic, is already, and yet another sign of the Great Poobah’s both ignorance of military strategy, the region in general, his reluctance to tell the truth about anything (including this is part of the international drug war, and has nothing to do with terrorism at all) and his reluctance to take a firm stand ON ANYTHING.

Not to mention his bad habit of listening only to generals and war hawks (including Hillary), who think that any war is a good one.  Not to mention that half of Congress (and Sen. Feinstein – A Democrat no less – from California is particularly guilty of this) who approve a war based economy and national budgets, because it creates opportunities for them to create earmarks that their spouses will make a fortune on.  While starving the poor and underclass.

And all connected to the supposed superior economic policy of perpetuating a military economy of perpetual war, where the elites benefit handsomely at the expense of the country.

Furthermore from just the perspective of the military and the NSC, NSA, CIA, and entire international security complex, and to some extent, even more scarily, the domestic one too, this is obscene.  And endangers rather than protects ALL AMERICANS.

To understand what is really going on, besides the philosophy of the warhawks who’ve never met a war they didn’t like, Obama’s ego and ignorance, and the greedy bastards in Congress (on both sides of the aisle, who seem to think that taxpayer money, particularly in perpetuating large military budgets, is their way of getting rich) you have to think in bureaucratese, no matter what the lip flap at the Pentagon, Congress, or even the White House is.

Bigger budgets mean more power, and that’s what Washington is all about.

These mindsets of course do not consider for one minute, the innocent kids sent to fight a useless war, who have no idea what they are getting themselves into, and even less what awaits them, if they survive.

How old is that kid beneath the gear in the picture above, who looks as terrified and lost as Little Bo Beep, even under the storm trooper attire he is wearing?

Twenty?

Maybe.

Jesus, what are we doing to the kids of this generation?  BOOMERS THAT MEANS YOU, not to mention any literate person, with a memory and a sense of history, not to mention have relatives who maybe fought in it a little fracus you might have read about in the history books, if not lived through it, called Vietnam.

And I won’t bother mentioning Meghan McCain, or her opinions of the subject, because she wasn’t born yet.

This war is so stupid, not to mention self destructive, that the U.S. military, in escalating this war, are re-calling up grandmothers for that matter.  Just to prove that they are right.

I have a friend whose GRANDMOTHER, who serves in the National Guard, has now been called up for her SECOND TOUR OF ACTIVE COMBAT DUTY IN AFGHANISTAN.  Where there are, as in all guerrilla actions, no safe places to hide.  The whole country is a warzone.  Even for granny.  Then again, it sure beats paying social security out.  At least in the eyes of the Chicken Hawks.

And despite the warmongering at the Pentagon, actually does have alot of people the White House and all the other chickenhawks cannot dismiss or undermine as some sort of lefty, communist, illogical subhuman and therefore dismiss, and rightly so who are publicly denouncing this policy.  And those would be those in even the ESTABLISHMENT, throwing in the towel, and expressing their opposition, in very public ways, because even they see the writing on the wall.  As this highly embarressing (for the Administration and the White House) resignation from even a State Department Official with expertise in the region, and impeccable credentials, is further highlighting

And doing a particularly good job, not to mention displaying excellent timing.   Causing red faces all over Washington, and deservedly so.

Particularly since there is “breaking news” i.e. another convenient plant, of supposed 9/11 plotters passports found near the Afghan border, and the President’s current focus on the issue.  The discovery of the former which I guarantee you will be used, if not squashed like a bug, as justification of more of the same.

Not “change we can believe in.”  At least if future Presidential actions and decisions are based on what has been the Obama strategy so far.

Duck and run, procrastinate indefinately, or blame a convenient scapegoat when plans go very wrong.  And take all the credit when things go right. While negotiating even more crooked deals in private.

Which uh, despite that unbelievable Nobel decision, that even the White House had the tact to underreact to (and justly so although Obama should have declined the award altogether if he had a modicum of common sense not to mention an ego the size of Jupiter), Obama is most guilty of.

And has been his modus operandi since his entrance into politics as an wanna be power player black politician on the make, back home in the Windy City.  Even as an obscure State Senator he couldn’t get his bills passed until he was tapped as “the boy” from the real power player in the very corrupt Illinois state senate.

And set up for a Federal Senate seat.

There are those who would argue that the Presidential version of this political chameleon, who many are calling a political sociopath, is exhibiting the same behavior in the White House.

And that of course would include his decisions on the wars.

For that I would turn not to DoD, but a WOMAN (remember those Obama), who was not only a superior military strategist who kicked the butts of her many assassins, and certainly bested political enemies as head of state as if they were mere dust in the wind.  And had experience in such tactics from a time she was a child, not to mention brought the Brits to the beginning of what is called “The Golden Age of Empire.”  From the British perspective anyway.

For those of you who remain historically ignorant, that would be Queen Elizabeth I, who didn’t like war at all.  In fact, her most famous quote on the subject, besides the Tilbury Speech, was that she didn’t like war because “the outcome is so unpredictable.”

And was willing to put her ass on the line, unlike the generals who fight this war from their safehavens and armchairs in safety in the nation’s Capitol, to preserve the sanctity of Britain against a very REAL attack from the Spanish.  Not some hocus pocus illusionary “terrorist threat” which the conventional warmongers in DC are still trying to prove exist, much less have an even harder time finding them.

And Barry, just so you know, ol’ Lizzy beat the pants off of ya in symbolism too.  As this portrait below so aptly demonstrates.

Those recently and extremely conveniently timely if not suspiciously geophraphically placed and now “discovered” passports on the Afghan border, supposedly linked (just because they say so at CIA headquarters)  are also most likely what are called “plants” by CIA agents for those of us a little too familiar with CIA tactics, DoD bungling and downright stupidity, and Washington “leaks.”

And explains a great deal about why Obama decided not to prosecute the worst offenders of the Bush years with say, war crimes.

He already knew going in that he was going to need the agencies’ cooperations for the war ahead.  Meaning that he planned this early, that the “discovery” of such supposed damning evidence could easily have come from direct orders from the White House (that’s Obama playing I’m smarter than everyone else on the planet without realizing that this stupid tactic has been used before) and this Obama, not the one who promised to change all that, was apparently committed to stupid acts of economic and human destruction, not to mention wedded to the idea of Empire-building fascism, and war mongering even before the election, should be no surprise to ANYONE.  Certainly given actions to date now that he’s in office.

I mean all you have to do is think back eight years ago (I know Megan McCain, you weren’t born yet) when “federal investigators” on the case of 9/11 found the car supposedly used by said terrorists, conveniently with “How to make an airplane a bomb” in the abandoned vehicle of the supposed 9/11 plotters.

It’s almost like a retarded CIA attempt to convince the public “see terrorist was here,” in big cartoon arrows that the government thinks passes the laugh test for credibility, because Americans are so stupid. And as I seem to remember they also, miraculously, managed to find even more passports of the “9/11 terrorists”, which showed up in the mound of rubble after 9/11 (what are the odds of that happening) because downtown New York looked like a million Kinko’s had gone on an a bipolar “up”.  For months.  If not years.

And literally covered the entire lower section of Manhatten with a paper trail so heavy, that there is NO WAY, that another convenient “passport” would show up or be found.

“Accidentally on purpose.”

Right before I believe the imposition of the Patriot Act.  And in fact was used as “evidence” of this war policy on two fronts was justified.  By the White House, DoD, the entire national security complex.

Oh, and blindly or deliberately self enrichingly, by Congress.

I mean, if you were going to blow up a plane and the World Trade Center, would you leave your manual on how to do it in YOUR CAR?  AT THE AIRPORT?  Much less use your REAL passport?

Trust me, terrorists are not picked for their stupidity.  Even those who are mentally challenged, although even this was a story that was manipulated too, of the Iraqi’s sending mentally retarded women in as very deadly human bombs, who detonated themselves and penetrated far into very “secure” U.S. compounds.

Think the Special Olympics, Iraqi style folks.  Those who have mental disabililities, even Down’s Syndrom, have feelings, can understand religion and ethics, and know very well what martyrdum is about.

Especially as the thought of dying and going to glory beats the shit out of what they face if they continue to live.  Because in Muslim societies, unfortunately, I have to say, despite the cultural bias (I warned you up front at least), but also based on working with an Iraqi Journalist in Washington at the national HQ of Reuters, who turned to me for career advice. But even that characteristic of the Taliban is suspect.

And certainly the stereotype of how they treat women is a rather disconcerting reminder that the White House senior staff is not exactly a maelstrom of gender pluralism (as in NONE).

And this cultural stereotype about all those poor, helpless, dumb Muslim women is even more challenged by current events.   Confirmed by the fact that many Iraqi women today are doing just fine, on their own, thanks all the same, despite the appalling prejudice led by oppressive leaders and religious fundamentalists (sounds a lot like this country, doesn’t it), in leading charges against oppressive, sexist leaders. Like say a President in a country near you who hasn’t hired ANY white women in their forties to power positions in the White House and is running the office like a traditional “boy’s club.”

Obama sure doesn’t win any points there, let me tell ya.

And women are kicking ass in many Muslim states of late.

They don’t need any “help” from us, except maybe our suport in the form of food and emergency medicine aid at least.  And certainly not the heavy boot of the U.S. military.

Who, for example, in the face of say Iran and attacking a country with a well trained force of suicidally trained defenders ready to blow themselves to smithereens as human bombs given the LEAST bit of provocation, much less invasion (yes there are even rumours floating in certain circles that I can’t believe OBAMA IS THAT STUPID to even THINK ABOUT IT.

I MEAN OBAMA LIVED IN A MUSLIM COUNTRY UNDER THE OPPRESSIVE ROLE OF AMERICAN OIL CORPORATIONS as a kid.  And even attributes the fights of his mother agaist his stepfather, who changed his tune and decided it, screw it with the politics.  I’m going with the money.

Sounds awfully like the Democratic Party, doesn’t it?

Sorry, but look what happened there.  In both examples as described above.

And Obama is smart enough to have an understanding, on both an educational level and a personal one, to know how disastrous these kinds of policies are.

And I mean, come on. How gullible does the ruling elite really think the American populace is?  They are not stupid enough to even think about reinstituting the draft.  But that’s about as far we as we’ve gotten in the progressive foreign policy stance eminating from the White House and the State Department.

For YEARS.  Actually DECADES.  And actually REGRESSIVE, because using the National Guard instead of the “real fulltime military” i.e. instituting a draft, would mean an official act of war.  Requiring Congressional approval.  Which Obama wants to protect, much as George Bush, as the ultimate Executive Privilege club of the political version of a “Big Swinging Dick.”

To quote Wall Street lingo.

Not that Obama doesn’t deserve it.

And would mean recognizing that continuation of such policies endangers the right of Habeas Corpus and the protections of Posse Comitatis, which  are under serious attack.  Not to mention Obama is pretending that he doesn’t know what the Insurrection Act is, or how its butchering under Bush is now illegal.  And this from the great and much self proclaimed Constitutional scholar himself.  Not to mention U.S. Senator when the former rather important law was restored to its original intent.

I’ll bet his excuse on that, if it ever becomes an issue will be familiar too.  He wasn’t in the room.

And this Afghan escalation certainly makes Obama look butch and manly to both conservative white male neanderthals on the Hill, not to mention the conservative, but out to lunch on foriegn policy and history (in general) American populace.  80% of whom don’t even own a passport.

Whether it’s official or not by some stupid rule, not to mention unConstitutional, the fact is this crappy policy is costing us a bloody fortune.  Just the amount of your tax money spent mostly butchering civilians, for one year in Afghanistan is supposed to equal (although I bet it outnumbers it) the ENTIRE DOMESTIC BAILOUT.

Meaning in literal terms, the U.S. government has chosen it’s more important to go fight um, “terrorists,” abroad, than saving the home of every American who’s about to lose it.  And already has because of the meltdown.  And the sleight of hand of Wall Street which is going to get EVEN WORSE, because of Obama’s refusal to regulate it.

But I digress from the lessons of 9/11 and the car which contained a copy of “Blowing Up the U.S. Trade Towers for Dummies” inside of it.

Especially when this original vehicular “finding” was used as part of the other BS propoganda for even opening this zone of conflict in the first place, by who else but his Brilliance, George W.

Who probably couldn’t even find Iraq, much less Afghanistan on a map, and was probably convinced of the inititiative by a Power Point Slide complete with the appropriate Bible Verse (Rumsfeld’s favorite briefing technique and justifications for the worst undermining of our civil rights, not to mention justification for going to war in the first place, along with “torture is legal” ideas, which is even scarier).

And even stupider for Obama to continue, and even escalate for precisely that reason.

Yet he’s listening to his generals because he doesn’t have a f*cking clue what he’s doing, doesn’t seem to have a conscience, or both, despite that convenient photo op of Obama “honoring the dead,” and the testosterone charge men seem to get when sending others off to die for meaningless causes, but will in the end prove very profitable for them personally and or politically.

War is very profitable, especially for Wall Street, and thus the DNC’s current purse. Not to mention directly, but we’ll get to that in a moment.

But I thought it was also important to address the issue in the current atmosphere of foreign policy discourse, both in DC, and nationally.  Especially with the many other convenient “leaks” designed to influence public policy floating around the Hill, (a common DC tactic) and thus the mainstream press and the general (even left leaning) well known “conventional wisdom” blogosphere these days to convince Obama of the “conventional wisdom” of escalating the zone of conflict.

Not to mention the general public. Who hate the war but also hate the idea of “losing.”

To both and to all, I would say both “get over it” and what exactly is being lost?  Except lives of both American soldiers, more specifically National Guardsmen who are not exactly trained in this sort of thing, and innocent civilians of the Afghan variety, for a totally stupid and pointless war.

And Obama is trying to shore up his right flank from conservatives who foam at the mouths at any attempt Obama might hold for doing nothing about supposedly lawless, children-eating Bedouins supposedly taking over (also called defending) their own country by force?

Even the worst cyber attack couldn’t come close to justifying what we are doing in Afghanistan. Not to mention the idea of a “threat” from a population that is using the classic and much more deadly, effective (and decidedly cheaper) tactics, not to mention weaponry that the U.S. is absolutely a sitting duck for.

But this is a policy that is defended staunchly from the White House.  From anonymous sources of course.

And thus needs to be corrected.

And that would be to remind the White House, Congress and the General Public of the idiocy that is both what the Economist this week called “Obama’s War,” and the fact that the dumbass is even thinking about continuing if not escalating it.

Not to mention their strategy. Which is rumored to include an additional escalation of even MORE TROOPS.  Plus other stupid tactics.  Which again is hardly new and has a long track record of failing.

As even this CNN story points out, “you can rent an Afghan, but you cannot buy him.”  And that’s not the only mainstream media outlet to publically air such opposition, relevent and extremely powerful, because most of them are chickenhawks and believe in American Cowboyism, which is fully on display in the Afghan theatre, not to mention the generals who are guiding this war (and certainly at least soaked in if not deliberately stoking ego at the White House to get their point across, but not as it would have you believe), despite Obama’s attempts to gloss over it, and paint it any other way.

Sorry, no dice.  You’ve been caught in the act.  And look just as stupid as your predessors before you.

And so I thought I would give a little history lesson in the process of kicking your ass.  That would be you BO.  As in Obama.

First of all, even the idea of attacking a culture that consists of predominantly Bedouin tribes (translation for Meghan McCain, along with the link, since I know you weren’t born yet) continual, usually seasonal mobile tribes of people who are very comfortable living in tents,  and nice ones at that, with mountains to protect them that are the foothills of the Himalyas.

Given that reality, not to mention topology, any real invasion is doomed from the start.

To be even more graphic, it’s sort of like playing hide and seek where you are always going to lose.

Simply put, the locals know where to go hide where we don’t have a clue where to seek.  And therefore are given natural protection from the largest military force, not to mention technologically, um, if not exactly intellectually advanced, and definately most expensive in the world.

Oh, and not to be sexist, or condescending or anything, but those squiggly little lines and the chart at the bottom (for those of you unfamiliar with how to read topographical maps) shows exactly how high, literally speaking, our challenges are in the region.

On multiple fronts.

Starting with the geography.

The damn country looks like Mount Everest meets The Misty Mountains of the fictitious Hobbit.  And has some very nasty surprises in store for U.S. soldiers who go stumbling into it.

Just a heads up and a little literal analogy, it’s like Frodo deciding to take on the mines of Moria, without the help of Gandolf.

And Obama is definately not a wizard, with supernatural powers.  Much less the Messiah.  As much as he likes to believe it.

So I wouldn’t follow him there.

And let’s start from the beginning with a whole new perspective.  Not to mention logic.

You try fighting in that kind of terrain, for multiple tours of duty, carrying over 60 lbs of gear, living in constant pain and fear, and seeing, if not being forced to participate in appalling acts of violence.

And exposed to graphic scenes of death.

Oh, and forced to participate in that little brew ha ha called TORTURE.

Not to mention live in the constant and very real fear, that U.S. ground forces are fighting and following phantoms.

Which of course they are.

Just the geology of the country automatically defeats any invader.

Which no amount of troops is EVER going to control, much less catch.

Even though Hannibal crossed the Alps without any side attacks from outraged locals.  He most certainly didn’t do it under constant warfare.

And he used elephants.

Not bombing runs with white phosphorous.

And NO, DoD, you cannot use elephants in your stupid wars or emulate Hannibal.  Elephants are endangered and OFF LIMITS.

Not to mention elephants are far more precious, even if they are less “inexpensive” in DoD speak (they are endangered all over the world) than your most up to date gagetry.

That doesn’t work.

Even though it costs the taxpayers a bloody fortune.   And will continue to.

And is a recipe for disaster, not to mention should be the writing on the wall to GET OUT NOW because WE ARE GOING TO LOSE.

Even by airstrike.

Which even the generals are mentioning is not the way to win this war.  FINALLY.

Just as it is announced that the troops we have deployed are on the verge of collapse, and the damned army is running out of bullets.

This is hand to hand combat against people who have grown up with self defense, not to mention guerilla warfare, are fiercely independent, and when put up against American Soldiers (especially the boy next door who probably joined the National Guard just to get a college education or maybe even just a job in the middle of a recession) and who certainly doesn’t have a CLUE what he’s in for.

I mean, let’s think about this situation logically for just one moment on this issue alone.

Mountains that big and that high are as impenatrable as the deepest anti nuke airstrike chamber the U.S. government has ever built itself.

You don’t think the Afghans know that?  How is that that our country. not to mention our supposedly intellectual superior political elite doesn’t?

And shows you exactly the IQ, not to mention the motivations (and exposes the stupidity and self interest) of all those war hawk, airmchair generals at the Pentagon (and throughout the national security complex), not to mention the State Department where Hillary likes to play butch war games because that’s how she was taught to be a politician.  Not to mention Congress.

Except that Hillary’s never learned the oldest saying in the book.

If a man wants to play a dick size competition with a woman, at least a liberated, independent, and free thinking one, he is going to lose.

Automatically.

For the simple reason that we women are not limited by nature or biology or even downright orneriness and savagery when we are threatened, and certainly not intimidated from either fighting macho games or lacking in IQ.

And some of us are very good at sticking remarkably similar looking substitutes that the other gender has and we do not, albeit yes, they are fake and usually made of rubber or plastic, where the sun don’t shine.  Without the lube.  Literally or figuratively speaking.

There, is that macho and graphic enough for ya?

You don’t think the Afghans, a people who survive in a region long tormented by various Empires’ dreams of glory (and control of resources), would have created secret tunnels by NOW?

Not to mention creating very effective and cheap ways of creating havoc for the Storm Trooper invasion that is, unfortunately the role of the U.S. military presence in the region?

And that our troops are sitting ducks?

And that airstrikes, while they are really good at killing and maiming civilians, really have no effect on routing out those who have access to the above natural insulation, conveniently sculptured and I’m sure with hidden maps and secret tunnels carved into the caves that are used with common frequency by those with the need to use them?

Get real.

The second issue at hand, besides “containing terrorists” another really old excuse and absolutely stupid, not to mention disingenius, and that is that India and Pakistan are just south of the border.

For those of you really sophisticated folks, they used to be the same country.  One essentially raped by the British when they had their turn at Global Empire.  And always seen as the next strategic “possession” from some very big and proximate neighbors not shy about annexing additional territory, especially when they think they have the arrogance (i.e. supposedly superior firepower and knowledge) to overwhelm the “ignorant natives.”

And then as is now a very good resource to have under your thumb.

Only to find out to their supreme embarressment that their hubris was misplaced.

Unfortunately for us, as any Empire with ideas about military action in the region, not to mention controlling resources, national domestic corporate business interests or annexing territory, the Afghans don’t agree with such ideas.  And have every right to do so.

If you don’t believe me, then consider this.   These days, at least, from an American perspective, India is an awfully good source of offshored and cheap computer programmers and call center operators, for say multinational U.S. corporations, who don’t want business ops interfered with in any way, with nasty little complications called civil rights and equal pay.

Among other issues.

Involving, as usual, valuable and much sought after (and therefore commoditized  and priced much higher than the worth and lives of the natives) natural resources, which every empire even considering marching into Afghanistan has NEVER ignored.

And say all you want about supposed Taliban insurgencies, and protecting the “world” from terrorism, that arguement just doesn’t even hold water with the locals, as I’ll get to in a minute, considering India’s reaction to the escalation in the region.

The Indian government knows very well what this is really about.  Like all imperialism and most wars, it’s being fought over resources, with ideology and fake patriotism (not to mention scare tactics) dealt out like playing cards to convince the American public by the political elites that throwing our taxpayer dollars down endless military invasion ratholes is a good idea.

Not to mention the ethical issues involved.  On many levels.  And from many directions.  In the middle of the worst recession this country has had in eighty years.

And of course, the Indians are well aware of America’s own business dealings in the region.  Just like the British before us.  Like dealing with equal pay and those pesky human rights issues that just get in the way of turning their work force into forced labor camps.

Gosh, wouldn’t that be great if those same corporations (which include alot of Wall Street banks) could get their way in the good ol’ U.S. of A?

There are those of us who think they just got it, but that’s another story.  Think Bank Bailout with no accountability, while the rest of the country sinks and you see what I mean.  And that’s just one example.  But that’s another topic for another post.

Or ten.

The real history lesson here, especially with Obama talking about our involvement in the region for the next DECADE, is what happened to the British, who still haven’t learned their lesson (in their ongoing suckup to DC) despite their dismal failure (one might call it a literal massacre)  during a little historical dustup known as The First Anglo-Afghan War, or part of The Great Game as the British played Testosterone One Upmanship with the Russians for the latter part of the 19th Century.

To begin to wrap this up, and make my final point.  The picture at the beginning of this article is the classic portrait, painted of the sole survivor of the Afghan massacre 150 years ago, who managed to survive the bloodbath at the British Garrison at Kabul and the ensuing “retreat.”

He was allowed to escape, as the only survivor, most historians believe, so the message would get through loud and clear, and in their own languange none the less, that the Afghans had just whupped the British Empire in the tookus.  As in kicked their asses into outer space.  Last heard from, those unfortunate British soldiers and their families (over 20,000 of them) who Lord Brydon left behind, were circling Mars (just a little attempt at humor here).

They were all, in historical reality, murdered.  By a country really tired of dealing with ideas of annexing property or stealing natural resources by Empires on the make.

And that was close to almost two centuries ago.  Imagine how fed up the Afghans are with this continuing crap.

What, what?!?

As in what an embarressing slap in the face, not to mention a kick in the cojones, for the most powerful force on the planet at the time?  And is about to be just as embarressing to this one.  Meaning US.  As in the good ol’ asskicking U.S. of A.

And this particular analogy is particularly appropriate to use as an analagous one for today’s current events.

Not only was the first Anglo-Afghan conflict the worst setback and the beginning of the end of both the British Empire and the business end of the whole operation, the British East India Company, (think America’s financial influence and international American businesses in today’s language) but is an exact forecursor of what is going to happen to us, if we don’t turn tail, decide it was a collossal mistake, (just blame it on Bush for God’s sake) and tail it double quick and in retreat, and cutting our losses NOW, get home and end this thing ASAP.

Of course generals at the Pentagon, and the usual stereotypical “guy” don’t ever want to retreat in “defeat.” Even if logic and history suggest that perhaps this might be a good idea.  And defending a stupid policy for much longer than necessary (or politically popular for that matter) is a really dumb idea.

And remember, Gates (and all Secretaries of Defense, are political hires). So this is really coming from Obama.

Trust, me, we are going to get our asses kicked so bad that we’re going to think the nosebone is connected to the piggy-went-to-market little toe.

And going to happen sooner than later.

No matter how much Obama wants to prove that he’s macho.

And I’d prefer to do it with a lot fewer dollars not to mention lives wasted, for an absolutely stupid and unwinnable war.  Fought for highly dubious reasons.  Including, if you can believe it, a supposedly creative way to fight the drug war.

Which if you read my post on the criminalization of marijuana in the U.S., has been around for more than a hundred years at this point. With many dollars and lives wasted and no tangible results.

What was that about repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results?  Isn’t that the definition of insanity?

Even if you don’t like my politics, there’s another reason to GET OUT NOW, as the ghostly voice said in a classic horror movie of the late seventies about a haunted house in a place called Amityville.  Which if you are Megan McCain you certainly don’t remember because you weren’t born yet, but I thought given that mentality, I would include a few little reminders of it, along with it’s classic line that should be the modus operandi of our future plans in the region.

There’s no way we can win.  It’s like playing hide and seek in the most complicated to maintain supply chain war, not to mention, the harshest, and highest terrain on the planet.  In the middle of a population the invading force doesn’t (in general) have a freaking clue about. Certainly don’t know the many dialects in the region.  And might have had an Indian or even Pakistani dinner.

Once.  Maybe.

Chicken Masala anyone?

If they even know the difference between the two countries.  Much less the history of the region.

And are up against a population that are not only fierce, but have been at present in a state of constant war for the last thirty years. And kicking ass consistently.

Not to mention that’s just this time around. The region has been in an almost constant state of war to protect itself, it’s identity and its borders, for well over 300 years.  If not longer than that.  And so far, doing a pretty damned good job of it.

They are fierce fighters, as anyone would be, protecting their own interests and culture, and history.  Not to mention country and national borders. And trust me, you don’t want to screw with them.

Even the arrogant Brits, never ones to depict their non white counterparts in anything but disdain, took care to carefully depict the ferocity of the guerilla troops they faced (see below).

And as an opposing force is no match for the behemoth of the American Amy, which was built to fight conventional wars.  Which this most certainly is not.

It requires (or so the war mongers think) small groups of deadly men, who are willing to kill for the fun of it.  Or a paycheck.  Or at least it doesn’t keep most of them up at night.

Both who work directly for the government and to whom this  work is “outsourced to.”  Think Blackwater.  And the CIA.

A tactic we call here in the good ole USA, “Counterterrorism.” And one, again, that’s been used before in the region, historically, for well over 150 years, by European AND American, AND Russian, and CHINESE spooks, who think they are smarter than the “dumn natives” when they don’t have a clue, and as a result, still failed when they relied on that strategy.

And even India is giving Washington the middle finger, in other words saying “No bloody way are we going to get involved.”  They’re not stupid.  Not to mention have a very vivid memory.

Yes Meghan, we know, you weren’t born yet.  Go look up the history of the region on the internet.

The only way to even combat a guerilla army, which has the support of the locals is by using tactics commonly referred to as “Counterterrorism.”   Or its other euphamism called “low intensity, urban counter insurgency methods.”

See picture below.

Meaning urban warfare and as we have seen, tragically the involvement, meaning deaths and horrific maimings (no I’m not going to show those awful pictures.  Go to Glenn Greenwald’s site if you want to see graphic renditions); I don’t want such images of violence and suffering on MY site for the traffic it will generate from the bloodthirsty, the voyeuristic and for the page rankings of the posters of such pictures, of hundreds of innocent civilians (I don’t participate in blood money schemes or marketing for browser ranking  position).

But these are deaths that are occcuring ON TOP of the airstrikes.

Counterterrorism today, as it really always has been, is another word for CIA involvement (of which there is already proof, as in one of the most senior ministers of the Pakistani government has just been revealed to have been on the spook’s payroll for years, massive bribes, and horrific human rights abuses that will only backfire.

Again, a repeat of history if you look up the brief descriptions of the past failed attempts at “victory” in the links I’ve provided above from Wikipedia.

And there’s plenty more out there on the internet if you are really interested.

Even Melville writes about his opposition to Colonial intervention in the region, in Moby Dick, starting with Chapter 1 (one of the interesting aspects of my book, soon to be Kindelized or whatever’s cheapest at the time that delivers quality product, on my self hosted WordPress site in progress, but does have some segments of the book as a free teaser aready available, under the tab “Channeling Melville.”  Forgive the ups and downs of the site if you aren’t met with an interface that’s up and running yet.  I’m telling you in advance, we’re still under construction.  But if you catch us on a good day when the site is actually up, look for the “Channeling Melville” tab.

At http://myblog-thatgoeswithoutspeaking.com.

But back to ol’ Melville this is what HE had to say about the situation, which sounds remarkably like the present, even in the opening chapters of the novel.  To wit:

“Finally, I always go to sea as a sailor, because of  the wholesome exercise and pure air of the fore-castle deck.  For as in this world, head winds are far more prevalent than winds from astern (that is, if you never violate the Pythagorean maxim), so for the most part, the Commodore on the quarter-deck gets his atmosphere at second hand from the sailors on the forecastle.  He thinks he breathes it first; but not so.  In much the same way do the commonality lead their leaders in many other things, at the same time that the leaders little suspect it.  But wherefore it was that after having repeatedly smelt the sea as a merchant sailor, I should now take it into my head to on a whaling voyage;  this the invisible police officer of the Fates, who has the constant surveillance of me, and secretly dogs me, and influences me in some unaccountable way – he can better answer than any one else.  And doubtless, my going on this whaling voyage, formed part of the grand programme of Providence that was drawn up a long time ago.  It came in as a sort of brief interlude and solo between more extensive performances.  I take it that this part of the bill must have run something like this:

“Grand Contested Election for the Presidency of the United States.”
“WHALING VOYAGE BY ONE ISHMAEL.”
BLOODY BATTLE IN AFFGHANISTAN.”

Though I cannot tell why it was exactly that these stage managers, the Fates, put me down for this shabby part of a whaling voyage, when others were set down for magnificent parts in high tragedies, and short and easy parts in genteel comedies, and jolly parts in farces – though I cannot tell why this was exactly; yet, now that I recall all the circumstances, I think I can see a little into the springs and motives which being cunningly presented to me under various disguises, induced me to set about performing the part that I did, besides cajoling me into the delusion that it was a choice resulting from my own unbiased freewill and discriminating judgements.
Herman Melville, Moby Dick, 1851

But I digress for that act of shameless self promotion and literary comparison to the present that is eerily similar (and the former the only means of economic survival for me at the moment, so do it for charity if you like this article).  And do me a favor, click on some of the ad links you see.  It will take you two seconds, but will add to my survival.  We’re all in this one together, don’t you see?

To end this little warning shot across the bow off, I will end the with immortal words of Lord Brydon himself.  Remember, our woebegone survivor of the First Anglo-Afghan act of whup ass in recent history.

As a reminder of how prescient that battle was, over 150 years later in predicting the outcome of this misguided attempt (now the third Empire building mistake, four times by the British, and once by the Russians).  And now the U.S.  For the same reasons and using the same tactics.

And imagine, to really put this in perspective, the Viet Cong had only kicked the French’s ass once in Vietnam.  Before they kicked American ass.  And before there are any sniggers about the lethality of the French army, just remember there was this frog who once took over Europe (and nearly Russia as well) called Napoleon?  And the French Foreign Legion is hardly a pack of pansies.

So the Viet Cong kicked some formidable ass with the French.  As in wiping the floor with them. Before they did it to us.

And now, the Afghans, with much more experience at fighting large empires and with an impeccable history of winning, (as in Afghans 5, other empires 0) even when outgunned, are going to do the same thing to us too.

You see, reaching back into history, there is this rather unappealing but remarkable lesson that cannot be denied or white washed over.

In that historic Afghan Act of kicking British Ass, 150 years ago, there is one indisputable fact.  And that is that the Afghans, like any invaded people won’t give up.

And will wait us out.

Whoever “us” is, as the invading force.  Because after all, it’s their country, not ours.

A fact that was illustrated very well in the historical recounting of our distinguished Lord Brydon, 150 years ago.

Upon reaching “civilization” in the state vaguely resembling the historical interpretation above, Lord Brydon, was asked by incredulous British Officers when he finally reached Jalalabad (a strong British outpost at the time), “But where is the rest of the army?”

To which Lord Brydon replied dryly, as he fell off his horse in exhaustion, and covered with blood, and the beast of burden was hardly in better shape, “I am the army.”

Meaning he was the ONLY SURVIVOR OF THE MASSACRE.  Of over 20,000 people.  Military ones, mostly.  And their families.

Hint, hint, oh, poohah in chief.  Words to live by and rethink strategy accordingly.  You might try to read some books on the subject.  And put the generals in their place.

We don’t want any more repeat scenes like that now do we?  Especially in the age of digital distribution and video.

Axelturf, are you paying attention?

Because this baby also belongs to you.  And you are old enough to remember Vietnam.   There’s no way you can spin this one, no matter how hard you try.

Meghan, shut up before you even open your mouth.  I know, you weren’t even concieved yet.

The decks, the facts, and even the state of the economy don’t justify this war.  And any attempt to “spin” the crap coming out of the White House or any other “officials” mouths, former or present, is going to look like yet another Obama attempt to swap deckchairs on the Titanic.

Just like his other policies to date.

Not to mention, do we really want the U.S.S. America to go belly up because it hit an iceburg it could have avoided, called Afghanistan?
