MR. and MRS. AMERICA DON’T BE MUSHROOMS

When President Eisenhower was leaving office he admonished the world to be aware of the rising power of the military Industrial Complex. He coined the phrase and defined the problem that killed the next President.
Since the assassination of JFK on 11/22/63 you have been kept in the dark and fed horseshit. This is the recipe for growing mushrooms, not so good for growing a real democracy. As voters and citizens it is not possible to make informed decisions made on false information. Weapons of mass destruction in Iraq are an example. You were given false information, and you know it. Republican or Democrat is both sides of the same coin. Both beholding to large money interests, and a need to control the power. An extraordinarily high percentage of people do not believe the findings of the Warren commission. These same people questioned the Vietnam War and asked for truth and got Gulf of Tonkin lie and Kent State massacre instead.
If as an individual you say 9/11 was an inside job, an immediate label of conspiracy theorist is given you and your opinion is discredited by the corporate media, while facts and truth are discounted and not reported. To say the least the 9/11 commission was flawed and incomplete, it was a cover up. The MIC and corporate interests are the only source of information you will get, and they do not represent truth. The much consolidated main stream corporate media can afford to loose millions of dollars giving you only information that profits them and other big business interests.
I recently saw Sandra Day O’Conner being interviewed where she stated that students are no longer being taught civics and history in high school. This is course curriculum necessary for going forward as a nation not something to be dropped. Something that should be dropped is the text book advancement of intelligent design. Six thousand year old planet created in six days give me a break
The dumbing down of America is happening on several fronts politically education and mainstream media. It is now accepted that politicians just spew out any pejorative they wish. Socialist fascist communist Marxist it doesn’t matter what label you give, nobody knows what you are talking about and everyone knows that in America these are bad things. Credibility is given to these political hatchet men every time a newspaper or TV reporter becomes a stenographer rather than a fact checker. Restore the fairness doctrine and restore honesty. And while you are restoring things restore school funding to a point where students are actually equipped to find a job. That upon graduation they have knowledge of civics, history, math and science. And should they wish to further their education low cost student loans be provided not by the private sector but by government where profit is not the motive.
Being kept in the dark and fed horseshit days are over. Election fever is again going to happen this fall will you be able to separate the truth from fiction? Can you see which side you bread is buttered on? Will you help to get out the vote and limit the corporate influence? America is up to you.

WHEN WINGNUTS GET CROSS THREADED SOMETHING BREAKS

The lunacy has always been just below the surface of politics but now its ugly head is above water. These tea bags have been dunked too often. And the wing nuts are all cross threaded.
Assault weapons being brought to town hall meetings, and the tea baggers think this is ok it’s their right to bear arms. Remember back when George W had three people thrown out of a meeting for having an inappropriate bumper sticker, and a man was arrested for assault of dick the prick for putting a hand on his arm? Now we must put up with the Medias fawning over the biggest excuse for nothing, the corporate sponsored tea bag bowel movement. These cross threaded wing nuts are trying to convince you me and themselves that all things wrong with America is because of Obama and the Liberal takeover of big government. While completely ignoring the outright lies and wars and destruction of constitutional rights economic meltdown under the eight year rule of George the lesser.
Some of my biggest complaints about a dumbed down citizenry is focused on the vitriol of cross threaded wing nut Christian ministries. There is an unspoken legitimacy to religious teaching; the lay man believes what is being said about the word of God when his supposed teacher is a well educated minister, pastor or priest. However all too often these men go off the reservation by trying to be experts on matters outside the scope of religion. Rewriting history to make us believe America is a Christian nation is a cross threaded notion and the advancement of this idea will break both church and state.
I do not for one moment believe the people are dumb. But they are mislead at every level and if they believe all they see, read and hear from the corporate media we are in trouble. The corporate media is big business, churches are big business. All business has an agenda called profit, and this does not always co relate to the best interests of the people. By cross threading the system the way it is being done it will break

THEY MADE THEIR DECISION NOW WE THE PEOPLE MAKE OURS

A STARK Reminder
Scalia
Thomas
Alito
Roberts
Kennedy
These five Supreme Court Justices have just launched a hostile takeover of the election and campaign finance laws going back over one hundred years. The deck has been stacked and so has the Supreme Court to the disadvantage of the people. This ruling cannot be allowed to stand. Some say that this decision is intellectually dishonest; I say it is an impeachable offense.
. These five justices ruled on an issue not requested of them and not relevant to the case they heard, and did so in a manner destructive of long-standing precedent. That's an abuse of power. Treasonous, as foreign and international corporations have the financial resources to bribe, influence and control American elections. Was this their corporate agenda all along? And we were led to believe it was overturning Roe vs. Wade, how naïve.
Representative Alan Grayson has several bills already tabled in response to what he saw coming, get behind his effort as this man has vision and an ability to speak truth to power. The President has instructed staff to deal with this issue forcefully. I am sure he will as this is too important for the country to ignore.

There is no Constitutional mandate for just nine justices. Perhaps it is time to go to thirteen, not partisan judges, just smart and honest men and women!

When Not A Theory Conspiracy Is A Crime

When enough detail is known about an event one can assume that the theory should become fact. Since 11/22/63 assassination of JFK many details unreported at the time have now been made abundantly clear. The evidence has been examined, reexamined and added to. The players in the Warren commission examining the evidence have now been discredited to a degree, and the evidence itself questioned as being fabricated, magic bullet indeed. Herbert Walker Bush cannot remember where he was on that infamous day; he was photographed outside the school book depository. That photo should refresh his memory, and he was a part of the CIA.
A very large part of the American people does not accept the findings of the Warren Commission. I for one say this was a regime change, the removal of a socially inspired Presidency who wanted to curtail the MIC the CIA and reign in the Federal Reserve Bank. President Kennedy was a threat to these institutions this is not a theory these are the facts.
There are other facts from other events that must be examined and the theory part changed to criminal conspiracy. The most outrageous lie ever fostered on the world is that nineteen foreigners with box cutters took down four planes, three buildings and killed three thousand people. I cry foul, and state the world has been told a lie, a cover up and criminal conspiracy is at hand. The same players responsible for 11/22/63 were the MIC, CIA, Federal Reserve and helpful and complicit politicians; another Bush and puppet master Dick Chaney.
The evidence is so overwhelming as to boggle the mind and yet day in and day out the same tripe is trotted out by the corporate media. It’s not that they don’t know any better it’s in their best interests to act as stenographers and not mess with the machine that controls America. If the truth suffers so be it. If the American public is dumbed down that is what is needed for the conspirators to get away with their crimes and live the good elitist lives they deserve.
There is no shortage of evidence to suggest that 9/11 was an inside job. I am not going to make all of these points to verify my opinion, they are out there, you know my opinion is correct verify them for yourself and do what you can to convince the world these are not theory’s but crimes.
America is a country governed by the rule of law. When the law is not enforced equally between the powerful and the poor democracy has failed.
The United States of America the greatest nation on earth has been stolen, bankrupted, and reduced to a status never before known on the world stage. The American people did not commit these crimes they just allowed their leaders to lead them astray.
Now with some of the most divisive and vitriolic politics in history the losers of the last election spew lies beyond belief. The Republican Party has no credibility left whatsoever, but they do have money, power and corporate backing they are a force not to be denied. Never underestimate the enemy. The party is like a ship without a rudder, leaderless and, fractured what makes them dangerous is that they are desperate to regain control.
Trust but verify is probably the best thing Ronald Regan ever came up with and that is what must be done now, verify fact check and don’t let the losers frame the argument. The net roots is the best hope for progressives to frame the argument and put pressure where necessary, Eric Holder must be pressured enough that he do something positive about the conspiracy’s of the past administrations. It does not matter which way President Obama wants to look make him move in the direction he needs to go.
When the facts prove it conspiracy is a crime. The time to prosecute these criminals is now.

HARRY NANCY, Mr. PRESIDENT ARE YOU DEAF?

I am a Canadian and I can hear one MADASHELLLIBERAL all the way up here. You know the place Canada where as a single man age sixty five Health Care costs me 54.00/ month. No line ups no restrictions no death panels nothing between me and my doctor but my well being.
Can’t you hear the displeasure being voiced from every point in the net roots that elected you? Cant you put two and two together to see what is just north of the forty ninth parallel? That would be a SINGLE PAYER GOVERNMENT SYSTEM THAT WORKS.
It is my firm conviction that the future of America and the Democratic party was once said in song,{ this is your one chance fancy, fancy don’t let me down}. Fancy Nancy. Senator Reid, Mr. President this is you one chance please go and listen not to what the corporate media is saying but listen to you hearts and listen to what MADASHELLLIBERAL and others are saying about HCR and please don’t foster on the people something second best.

Christianity no longer soothes my soul Now it just pisses me off

Catholic Bishops and Papal authority do not legislate terms in American politics. Catholic nun’s hospitals do not have to be obliged with health care reform decisions. The right wing moral authority is not moral and has no authority in the secular application of political social reform.
Christians can buy politicians with a voting block as easily as a lobbyist can with money. Both corrupt the system with vested interests. We are asked to accept on faith that which is unexplainable, Heaven, Hell, God and miracles, trickle down economic philosophy as well. Religion is big business very big. And must be treated as such, Lobbyists cannot be tax exempt.
For the large part the American people are smart enough to see past the blinders of absurdity this religion has become. America never was a Christian nation it was a mosaic of religious diversity. And now the American Taliban is trying to take over. Well let them try but first they must refute some of their most egregious claims.
In respect of the concept of intelligent design, I saw a five year old boy say that it was ridiculous to suggest the world was only six thousand years old. From GW Bush on down through his born again Christian base this is the bullshit being taught in some schools. This is not good for America.
The {C} street political adulterers would have you believe that they get a pass on adultery because Jesus only wants powerful people in his court. This is another trickle down philosophy that is flawed. Poor people are poor because they lack faith. David Coe and the Christian mafia have been exposed by Jeff Sharlet with his book The Family on Rachel Maddow. However she was the only one in the main steam media who picked up on this. Oh and explore the connection between The Family, and Gays in Uganda being put to death.
One couldn’t overlook the Wasila Alaska prayer warrior and diva of lies. Sarah Palin is a member of The New Apostolic Reformation. This exalted blight on Christianity believes we must expel the witches among us. They also take credit for the death of Mother Teresa and removing the blockage over the Himalaya Mountains that kept prayers from reaching Heaven.
I have not attempted to list all of the new Christian absurdity, there is a lot more, but I do think it necessary that proponents of this faith acknowledge that there are perversions to what you were taught that now go beyond the Bible teachings you grew up with, then extended into radical extremism, and the just plain stupid category, they are now morphing into sedition
The call for pray for Obama Psalm 108/9, Is seditious. This level of intolerance must be stopped, abortion stem cell research are areas beyond religions jurisdiction but free speech is tolerated. Calling for assassination will not be tolerated it should be prosecuted. The entire Christian community should be put on notice, preach religion and do not preach politics. Law making is not your function.
Refute these facts refute the fact that you old time religion has been hijacked and held ransom by mega churches Preachers with private jets and a Jesus who now supports only those with power and influence, a Jesus who no longer believes the Meek shall inherit the earth and Gays are not made in Gods image and that the witches among us must be expelled.
Forgive me but these asshats who spew this vitriolic shit must be taken down a peg or two. America is for all Americans not just those pious self serving wing nuts proclaiming terror in the name of God.
Peace Be With You

UPDATE ON MARCH 16/09 Super Soft Bust

Back in March I put up a post on how municipalities in British Columbia are subverting the criminal code in order to deal with mom and pop grow ops.
The sole reason for coming to your house is high electrical consumption and possible public safety hazard. Or so they say. The real reason just might be the enhanced cash flow from five thousand dollar inspection fees. In this community alone this reflects approximately one point five to two million dollars bolstered to municipal coffers. However the down side is it has taken twelve to fifteen million out of the community, money that would be spent for the large part right here at home. These are not organized crime enterprises but small operations serving a need. Is this good business? No this is just one more plank in the failing policies of Stephen Harpers Conservative government driving Canada backwards, by allowing fascism to flourish at a municipal level
Canada since the 1973 LeDain commission has been moving progressively towards the subject of harm reduction and decriminalization. Legalization would be the next logical move to fight the criminal aspect of prohibition. No mandatory sentencing for growing pot. There is no scientific evidence to support the many myths used by government to enact the kind of legislation proposed by Stephen Harper. He is taking a page from the American sentencing guidelines and that page is flawed. Last year America prosecuted over six hundred thousand citizens for simple possession alone. How sick is that? This is not a manufactured product like alcohol or tobacco, this is a simple herb that grows in the ground. Nothing insidious about this, no addiction like alcohol or tobacco, in fact this plant has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Big pharmaceutical companies in Canada lobbies against its usefulness.
I believe that is time for the Canadian people to take back their country from this conservative quackery, cut the moralizing bullshit and express their outrage at a Government that still follows the dictates of George W bush. We as Canadians must wake up to the fact that Stephen Harper is working for the same big business interests as his American BFF war criminal counterpart. We must say this is unacceptable, and demand change.
This post has been all about marijuana and the need for a more liberal and sensible approach to dealing with this subject. It is obvious to me that Government is out of control over the edge and picking up speed. Canada because of this Conservative Government is now being vilified on many fronts including Copenhagen, and the TAR SANDS lets get real. For most Canadians the options are out there Liberal NDP and Green party must instead of splitting up the vote come together to rid us of this conservative menace. Lets put this country back on track as a world leader working for the Canadian people and let business fend for itself.
