In the past week I had missed a lot of interesting news due to my visit to my mother to help put up her Christmas tree. Obama somehow managed to lynch himself, the Republicans literally pissed into the faces of the base that put them there and Britain got fed up with the bankers there and tried to attack Prince Charles. Wow.
Let's start with Britain that showed what may be the first signs of physical violence in an unfortunate turn to all out revolution. Students were beyond angry at new austerity cuts that are going to triple tuition at area colleges, all but guaranteeing million of Britain's won't be able to afford college. In a rare show of both hooliganism and bravery, students attacked Prince Charles and Camilla as their car was swarmed by protesters. Calls of "Off with their heads," could be heard in the background. While I never condone this mindless type of violence, I have to cheer the British as well for being one of the first groups to stand up to the greedy Bankers that put us in this mess to begin with. Iceland may outlaw Visa and Mastercard for their denial of service to Julian Assange (now free on bail) and a world wide shift is occurring that could bode well for the poor and downtrodden. There are more of us than them. Let us make sure they know that in the most visible albeit non violent way possible. Until they crack down with an iron boot, we must stay away from violence as any attacks will be viewed as a reason TO crack down. Let us not go down that path. After this week, there may be hope as light breaks on marblehead with the left and right in this country.
In an odd show a solidarity, both the left and right condemned the new tax and spend bill being rushed through Congress. The left is pissed that tax breaks for the rich continue, estate taxes are kept artificially low and a host of other breaks for those who don't need it are being added daily. The right is pissed that this bill is going to add a trillion dollars to the deficit, the exact thing they put Republicans into office to fix. The new Congress isn't even in yet already they ignore the electorate. There can be only one solution to this. Never vote Republican or democrat again. If that's all there is vote for Kermit the frog or Darth Vader or anybody but the two losers on the ballet. Let them try to claim a mandate if they only win by a few hundred votes. Both parties are out to screw you. They will tell you one thing and do another. This cannot stand for one more minute. Obama is proving a failure of Bush like levels whose numbers are plummeting by the day. Likewise to John Boener, Scott Brown and Mitch McConnel whose numbers have seen similar declines. It was recently discovered that Obama's inactivity with BP may have been more sinister than even I first thought. BP contributed 500 million dollars to the government in exchange for an influential position within the energy department, the number 2 position actually just behind Dr Chu. BP is writing our energy laws, the same way Halliburton did under Cheney. And you wonder why nothing happened. We live in a corporatist state, where he who has the most money makes the laws. Our standard of living is set to plummet, worse than now if things go wrong like a crash of the gold or derivative market. We must start protesting, somewhat similar to Britain just less violent. Millions need to descend on Washington, permit be damned and sit there until our demands are met. Here they are:
1)Arrest any banker responsible for the last market crash.
2)Arrest any politician responsible for the last market crash which will probably empty Congress and the White House.
3)End all tax deductions and simplify tax code. Fire half of IRS agents. Spend more time on wealthier and corporate tax filings.
4)Fire everyone from the TSA, FDA, EPA, DEA, ATF, and FBI. Reorganize agencies to better serve the public.
5)Legalize pot and decriminalize all other drugs for possession of small amounts. Release all non violent drug offenders and close half of all prisons.
6)Remove payroll tax cap for SS. This in of itself will save SS.
7)Obey the Constitution again.
8)Profile at all airports.
9)Exit all war areas.
10)Fight the next war like your survival depends on it, not the half assed way we've been fighting wars for the past sixty years. Can anyone remember a war we actually won anytime recently? If you think back, the best we've done is a tie. Not acceptable.
11)Tell the world to go hell when every time they cry we're not fighting fair. War is not fair. Get used to it.
12)End religion as a weapon. Any regime using it as a weapon needs to go.
13)Stop blaming the Jews for everything that goes wrong. Corporations are the real evil not Mort Goldstein down the street.
14)Stop thinking that the right and left are really different. The right has got to accept that abortion is a choice and gays are not going anywhere. The left has to stop treating everyone like children and end over regulation stifling small business.
15)Accept that the weather is getting weird. Climate change is real. Stop with the nonsense.
16)Turn off Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. They are making you dumber. Both are either retarded or evil as they regularily tell their listeners facts that are provably untrue. The fact that people are buying the "Obama is a socialist" line shows that PT Barnum was right.
17)Accept that Obama was born in this country. Nuff said.
18) Pick your battles. Everytime one of these idiots above speak the world gets dumber. For example, birthers or truthers who says a hologram hit the WTC are not helping those looking at real conspiracies. Shut the hell up.
19)Fix the banks by reinstating the Glass Steagal act, regulating the derivative market, and any other common sense approach.
20)End government secrecy.
