What Did Holder’s Inbox Know, And When Did It Know It?
October 4th, 2011The Tragedy of Inactive Ingredients and Stuff
October 4th, 2011They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage.And since the original mortgage has gotten lost in the system, they should have just given the house away for free. Bastards.
They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses.Which, of course, is completely different and much, much more evil than taking somebody else's house for free because the original mortgage documents are lost.
They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one's skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation.It's their fault that women and minorities don't major in mechanical engineering and investment banking, and choose Vagina Studies or Queer History instead.
They have poisoned the food supply through negligence, and undermined the farming system through monopolization.Which is why everybody is dead and arugula is so expensive at Whole Foods.
They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless nonhuman animals, and actively hide these practices.It's their fault we're not all vegans. Set the chickens free so they can join us in solidarity!
They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions.It's a sure sign of corporate oppression that people still have to show up for work occasionally and don't enjoy unlimited paid stress days.
They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right.It's an insane policy when people have to pay back the money they borrow simply to exercise a right that has existed since the first Australopithecus graduated from the University of Redden-Toothenclaw.
They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers’ healthcare and pay.Taking jobs from people who whine, complain, moan, bitch, carp, and refuse to work because they don't have enough stuff and giving them to other people who want to work even if they have less stuff is really, really mean.
They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility.And the fact that corporations are just a collection of people with a common goal doesn't count so don't even bring it up.
They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance.Which is completely different from spending millions of dollars on legal teams to get free money in lawsuits.
They have sold our privacy as a commodity.Google, Facebook, and Twitter suck, and we can't get by without them.
They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press.Which is why none of this will ever see the light of day and we'll never get our 15 seconds of fame on the network evening news.
They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit.No one will ever know how many have died from eating the silica gel packets in food.
They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce.Our government is powerless to control them.
They have donated large sums of money to politicians supposed to be regulating them.And those politicians have spent most of the money on whores and liquor. The rest they just wasted.
They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil.ExxonMobil bought the patent for a car that runs on air from a guy in Cedar Falls, IA, and then buried it in the Arabian desert. Then they capped him and the Jews blew up the World Trade Center to distract everybody.
They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people’s lives in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantive profit.And we get to define "substantive".
They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit.We're not sure which is worse - mistakes or inactive ingredients. Because we're always right and we're activists.
They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media.Which is why we gave this to the media and why the stuff you're reading is not really what we said, since it was published in the media. Or something.
They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt.And we have no doubt whatsoever that they're guilty of murder.
They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad.And it's high time they let the dictators properly care for the people in Zimbabwe and Syria.
They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas.Corporate armies have ravaged Africa and the Middle East, despite the protestations of their benign leaders.
They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts.¹And governments, who we love, continue to issue contracts but it's not their fault because they're too busy spending the payoff money on whores and liquor to read the laws the corporations write. This list of

The Whole Earth Reader: V
October 2nd, 2011He makes the message of the East comfortable for our coffee table studies with references to drugs we have taken, books we have all read, and flashes we have all experienced...Common ground and identical experience was, presumably, a basis for the Quest for Individuality and Unique Godhood that characterized the youth of the Sixties, the Age of Aquarius. We even dressed alike to announce our differences, much as the young do today. Baba Ram, perhaps originally inspired by the song "Rama-Lama-Ding-Dong" popularized by The Edsels in 1957, is still going strong today. If you visit his blog, you can spend a few bucks and read profundities like the classic short essay, "A Tree Isn't Frightened". Not an essay to be missed, for sure, if groovulousness is your goal. Baba Ram also published a book entitled Be Here Now. On Amazon, the review of the book begins thusly:
It's easy to dismiss Be Here Now as the relic of a whacked-out '60s acid tripper.Indeed it is. But the Whole Earth Catalog review of the book appears below. Enjoy.

The Islamofascists Finally Invent Something…
September 30th, 2011Instead of standing around for a passing Israeli car, throwing rocks and maybe getting caught, Palestinian terrorists have devised the drive-by rock-throwing method. Two or three Palestinians sit in a car holding a large rock ready. They hurl it at the windscreen of an oncoming Israeli car and drive off at speed.That's how they murdered Asher Palmer, 25, and his 1-year old infant son.
After the eulogies ended, mourners carried the body of Asher and a tiny prayer shawl carrying Yonatan to a waiting van, in which they were taken for burial in Hebron.Those wacky Palestinians. They should give them a country. And then nuke it.
On Breakouts and Collapsing Dams
September 30th, 2011The NYT Catches Up With The Apostate
September 29th, 2011Ford is selling cars in this commercial, but I’m betting they’re also cultivating public opinion for the probable upcoming UAW strike. You see, the government and President McDowngrade gave GM and Chrysler to the union.Well, finally, the dullards in Manhattan are getting on board:
The U.A.W. told officials at Ford plants across the country over the weekend to begin forming strike committees and to distribute information to workers about a possible strike.It's time to begin gearing up for Picket Line Thug Watch.
HHS Guidelines on the Prevention of Information
September 29th, 2011In order to make certain we provide the media the best possible service and information in a timely fashion, it is important that the relevant agency public affairs office be notified of all media calls/contacts that employees receive about their HHS work... When approached by a reporter, HHS employees should work with their immediate supervisor and coordinate with the appropriate public affairs office/personnel in their agency.Some reporters disagree with the notion that this new policy will deliver the "best possible service". For example, Jim Dickinson, long-time health journalist and Editor of the FDA Review, said:
The new formal HHS Guidelines on the Provision of Information to the News Media represent, to this 36-year veteran of reporting FDA news, a Soviet-style power-grab.While I view Mr Dickinson's characterization of the new policy as a "Soviet-style power grab" as hyperbole, I also know that Soviet-style power grabs rarely begin as Soviet-style power grabs. They evolve into Soviet-style power grabs over time. In that (r)evolutionary spirit, Peter Orszag, former budget czar for the McDowngrade regime, observes: "[R]adical as it sounds, we need to counter the gridlock of our political institutions by making them a bit less democratic." But wait! There's been a mistake! I'm sorry! I misread the title of the new Guideline. I see now that it is the Provision of Information Guideline, designed to provide, not prevent, information... but only through fully vetted (r)evolutionary organs.
The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink. ------ George Orwell[H/T: Contentions]
Why I Am Opposed To A Federal Balanced Budget Amendment
September 28th, 2011- "Congress shall make no law" [1st Amendment]
- "... the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." [2nd Amendment]
- "The right of the people to be secure [...] shall not be violated..." [4th Amendment]
- "[T]he accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial..." [6th Amendment]
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.Consider the difference between the Bill of Rights and the 16th Amendment. The Bill of Rights expressly limits the power of the government or establishes the inviolable rights of individual citizens; the 16th establishes the right of Congress to expropriate the wealth of citizens - without limit. No, what we need is not another amendment to require a balanced budget. Unless, of course, you want Congress to raise taxes, without limit, to fund whatever Solyndras, high-speed trains to nowhere, ethnic reparations, and entitlements they find both good and proper. No, what we need is an amendment to repeal and/or rewrite the Sixteenth to limit the unlimited power of the government. Without repeal or revision of the Sixteenth, we can never again have limited government in America. Because as John Marshall, arguably the greatest Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, said:
That the power to tax involves the power to destroy [is] not to be denied... ------ McCulloch v. Maryland (1819)
Come On, Guys! Tell Us How You Really Feel…
September 28th, 2011This contemptuous dismissal of McDowngrade Administration meddling in the European crisis comes hard on the heels of a previous bitchslapping. Geithner himself took that insulting blow after he crashed a meeting of EU Finance Ministers earlier in the month. Please don't assume I'm defending the decisions and strategies of the EU political class. But I do think this is a perfect example of how the McDowngrade Administration has squandered American influence in Europe, to the point that second-tier bureaucrats feel perfectly comfortable calling the President of the United States and his Secretary of the Treasury "stupid". Of course, you can't really blame the Europeans. A majority of Americans are doing the same thing.[Telegraph] Berlin savaged [US Treasury] plans to boost the EU rescue fund as a "stupid idea" and told the White House to sort out its own mess before giving gratuitous advice to others.

World’s Smartest Man Or Clever Hans?
September 23rd, 2011[NYT] The government’s backing of Solyndra, which could cost taxpayers more than a half-billion dollars, came as the politically well-connected business began an extensive lobbying campaign that appears to have blinded government officials to the company’s financial condition and the risks of the investment...You see, it's difficult to explain how that less smart people saw the truth. For example, the folks at PricewaterhouseCoopers weren't "blinded". In their "Report Of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm" attached to Solyndra's March 2010 Form S-1 submitted to the SEC, they acerbically note:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, negative cash flows since inception and has a net stockholders’ deficit that, among other factors, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. [emphasis added -ed.]For readers unfamiliar with SEC Form S-1, it is, according to Wiki,
[T]he basic business and financial information on an issuer with respect to a specific securities offering. Investors may use the prospectus to consider the merits of an offering and make educated investment decisions. A prospectus is one of the main documents used by an investor to research a company prior to an initial public offering (IPO)...Is it possible that the World's Smartest Man is actually just a 21st Century version of Clever Hans, the German horse that could allegedly do arithmetic? Of course, a clever investigator exposed Clever Hans as a fraud and not so clever after all. You'll have to ask the Times.
President McDowngrade Creates Jobs
September 23rd, 2011[AP]Pointing to the BP blowout and risks of a new environmental disaster, the Obama administration reversed itself Wednesday and promised not to pursue offshore drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico or anywhere else along the nation's East Coast.Alas, Socialist Spain and Communist Cuba, aided and abetted by the Smart Power™ foreign policy of the McDowngrade Administration, are going to defeat the Luddite Left and their enablers on the right. Drilling is coming to the Keys.
[IBD] Deep-water drilling will resume in the Florida Strait when a giant, semi-submersible oil rig en route from Singapore arrives later this fall. The bad news is it will not be American... The long-predicted move could come as early as November, as Spanish oil giant Repsol YPF leads an international consortium that will operate the rig known as Scarabeo 9. It wants to wait until the hurricane season ends before it begins drilling. Six wells are planned to be drilled with this rig by the various international companies that own exploration rights off the north shore of [Cuba].This should certainly help create jobs for the
The Natives In Apostateland Are Starving

By the way, about those natives in Apostateland. A case of Krug 1979 Brut Blanc de Blancs and a kilogram of Beluga won't go to waste. The children are starving.
Oh Dear! Another Downgrade for President McDowngrade.
September 21st, 2011We made the decision to stand with you [Chrysler] because we had confidence in the American worker, more than anything. And today we know that was the right decision.... We're coming back. We're on the move. ------ B. Obama 11/23/2010 [speech @ Kokomo IN Chrysler ------plant]Well, you're definitely moving...
AFP - Moody's downgraded Italy's Fiat from Ba1 to Ba2 on Wednesday over fears that the auto giant's merger with US group Chrysler may burden the carmaker with debt, the ratings agency said in a statement. Moody's said the outlook was negative, which means Fiat faces another possible downgrade in the near future...I'm thinking maybe America needs a new investment adviser.
Negotiating With Vermin
September 21st, 2011(Reuters) - President Barack Obama will meet Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday to urge him to drop plans to ask the U.N. Security Council to recognize a Palestinian state despite U.S. and Israeli objections.It is time for a reminder about who Abbas is... A graduate of Patrice Lumumba University, a Potemkin university created by the Soviets to indoctrinate and train revolutionary elements in third-world countries, Abbas' thesis topic was:
The Other Side: The secret relations between Nazism and the leadership of the Zionist movement" in which he attempted to prove that the Nazi holocaust of Jews never happened. His supervising professor was KGB officer [and eventual KGB Chairman] Yevgeny Primakov.There is no "other side". There is no "side". There is only the truth... Why are we negotiating with these vermin?
Signs of the Times: YouWalkAway.com
September 21st, 2011Take a "strategic default":Ask Yourself…
- Are you stressed out about your mortgage payments?
- Are you having trouble deciding if it makes financial sense to walk
- Do you need to move for work or family and can’t sell?
Strategic default, also known as voluntary foreclosure, is when the borrower decides to stop paying a mortgage even though they can still afford the payment.Moral hazard is not just a theoretical concept, my friends.
Settled Science Gets No Respeck
September 20th, 2011[BBC] Publicity for the latest edition of the atlas, launched last week, said warming had turned 15% of Greenland's former ice-covered land "green and ice-free".Lessee here... lemme pull out my cackalater and run the figgers. The extent of icepack melt would be equivalent to the entire surface area of Ireland and the UK (pronounced "uck"). That turns out to be one hell of a lot of mud. Unfortunately, there's a fly in the Guinness. The Scott Polar Research Institute, located in Cambridge University (a small public land-grant college in England), sez:
"Recent satellite images of Greenland make it clear that there are in fact still numerous glaciers and permanent ice cover where the new Times Atlas shows ice-free conditions and the emergence of new lands," they say in a letter that has been sent to the Times... "There is to our knowledge no support for this claim in the published scientific literature."Wilberforce Percodan, spokesman for the Gore Settled Science Institute, suggested that the satellite imagery had been hacked by the global oil cartel, and that the Scott Polar Research Institute is nothing more than a shell front company staffed with denialists and bought and paid for by Republican Party donors.
Lt. Col. West: Theopolitical Islamism Is No “Perversion”
September 19th, 2011The Seagull In The Coal Mine
September 19th, 2011[T]he state could never afford the beautiful utopia it was crafting, and so politicians and union leaders chose the path of systemic deceit. Taxpayers weren’t told what the bill for the system would be; public service workers weren’t told that the pension guarantees they’d been sold were worthless because taxpayers would not and could not foot the bill.The future does not look bright...
[WaPo] In Rhode Island, as those investments have failed to live up to predictions, the yearly burden being borne by state and local governments is growing and is beginning to crowd out public services in ways that experts say could soon take hold in other parts of the country... The increase in government contributions to the pension system between 2012 and 2013 would be enough to fund a dozen state agencies, including the Department of Environmental Management, the Department of Health and the public defender’s office, the treasurer’s office has said.Naturally, union officials stamp their feet and sing "lalalalala" whenever someone proposes anything except more of the same. Michael Downey, President of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, had this to say:
They are going to fix this for Rhode Island on the backs of people who have worked their entire lives.Allow me to rephrase that, Sir: they are going to fix this problem on the backs of the people who caused the problem - union members and leaders. Thanks to your farsighted leadership, many of your members are going to be signing up to work part-time as Wal-Mart greeters instead of enjoying the secure retirement you told them you were negotiating. This is how it's probably going to play out:
[Pension reform] is likely to result in reduced benefits for 51,000 public workers and retirees. Officials are pondering lowering retirement payments, replacing part of the guaranteed pensions with 401(k)-type accounts, and sharply reducing generous cost-of-living increases enjoyed by retirees.Can you say "Greece", Mr Downey? Citizens of California and Illinois, look sharp! Because the Rhode Island meltdown is coming your way.
