DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: OBAMA

This is take two as my computer crashed yesterday and took most of this article with it. Let's see those runner ups.

1)Apple- It was revealed this week that Apple searched the home of a suspect's home where a lost prototype GPS signal led them there. Local police assisted but made no mention to the suspect that the people doing the search were not law enforcement. Since when do corporations get to search people's home? When I've had money or items stolen from me in the past, you could count on the police being less than helpful. They certainly wouldn't allow me to search someone else's home. Just another day in the Corporate State of America. Incidentally, the owner was furious when he found out that Apple searched his home (which they found nothing by the way) which he thought were police. Never let cops search your home without a warrant, regardless of whether you have anything to hide or not. You being nice may just wind you up in prison if they do uncover something planted, forgotten or well hidden. The police ARE NOT there to protect you anymore. Never forget that.

2)Madonna- Her latest film W.E. was predictably panned at the Venice film festival this week. Considering her acting skills have been pretty rough, with only her role as Breathless Mahoney in Dick Tracy passable, her directing abilities have been even worse. Based around the brother of King George VI (and the film the King's Speech), it delves into why he gave up the throne for the woman he loved. Too bad the film is really, really bad.

3)Movies in General- Another disastrous week from Hollywood that is completely understandable considering the absolute drek they have dumped on us these past few weeks. Other than the well reviewed and scary looking Contagion and the action packed Killer Elite, the rest of the next few months look like August, ie crappy. Remakes like Straw Dogs (really?!!), Footloose (will modern teens even know this flick) and sequels like Paranormal Activity 3 (one too many times to the same well I fear) and Johnny English Reborn (I admit I liked the first one but it made a dollar ninety eight at the box office) made me seriously question what is going on. Add to it this past weekend where PG-13 horror went to die with bad reviews and turn out for Apollo 18 and the truly idiotic Shark Night 3D. Incidentally, PG-13 horror movies have been losing money for years, yet you keep making them. Odd.

4) GOP candidates- With Rick Perry at the top of the pack, you have to seriously question the ability of the US public to do anything in their self interests anymore. Perry is Corporate Central, worse than Obama. To vote for him is treason. Not that voting for Obama is any better mind you.

5)Deniers, disbelievers, and hard core skeptics- We keep hearing how 9/11 happened exactly as the government reported it, that the Earth is not warming, ghosts don't exist and we are all alone in the universe. Not one of these things is true, and provably so, yet we ae under a deluge of negativism to any of these ideas. Weather is very odd right now and while the cause may be under some scrutiny, it is happening. With the anniversary of 9/11 rapidly approaching we are still being lied to. The 9/11 commission didn't buy the official line of bull, why should we. Just to recap some of the best parts, the FAA and the military lied to the commission about the timeline of the events, nano thermite dust has been found at Ground Zero by at least four separate, independent tests, the failure of NORAD to intercept the planes has never been explained (and I have found people and personally interviewed them who have worked at NORAD in the past who say the official events are simply not possible knowing how NORAD operates), the FBI never accused Bin Laden of complicity with the attacks, WT7's fall cannot be explained by any scientist on the planet (the 9/11 commission never tackled the problem and the NIST report had to be redacted when a high school physics teacher challenged the math behind it and won), and the plane's trajectory into the Pentagon has been ruled impossible by the guy they say was flying. These are just a handful of the issues on this subject. Considering Rumsfeld, the day before 9/11, announced the Pentagon was missing several trillion dollars. All of the evidence gathered on this was conveniently destroyed in WT7's fall and the attack on the Pentagon. Wasn't that convenient. 9/11 may have been a diversion to deflect attention away from trillions stolen from taxpayers and then used as run up to war to make even more money. Stop denying what is right in front of your face.

6)Turkey- Still pissed after the flotilla disaster a few years back, Turkey has recalled their ambassador, suspended all military contracts and is threatening to bring the incident to the International Military Tribune. Israel responded by telling them to go to hell so tensions between the two, once allies, to a new low with us caught in the middle. They are threatening to use warships to accompany the next flotilla, which will almost certainly be seen as an act of war by Israel. This could get ugly fast with the vote for Palestinian Statehood set for Sept. 20th, something opposed by the US and Israel but will get worldwide support otherwise. Incidentally, it appears the uprising in Syria may by CIA oriented, as this occurrence has put a big wedge in any Turkey/Iran/Syria alliance. Turkey is spinning it's wheels and may not be pleased how this all winds up because if the US has to pick between Turkey and Israel, the end result is a foregone conclusion. Turkish nationals in this country may also pay a price for further destabilization by an angry government.

7)Obama-This guy has not had a good week, a lot by his own hands. Liberals are PISSED with people like Keith Olbermann ranting about Obama's decision to reneg on yet anothetr campaign promise on fixing the Clean Air Act which he said would cost too many jobs to implement. Good thing those kids with asthma can't vote. Unions are taking their money out of the democrats strongholds for their failure to support unions in placed like Wisconsin and Ohio and failure to support universal health care which would have benefited everyone. It's worked very well in MA and I would know. I not only live here but I'm licensed to sell health insurance in the state. Obama's campaign at this point is "what are you going to do, vote for Rick Perry?" I won't vote for either. And neither should you. Where are the real leaders who will stand up and say enough? Where is our generations FDR, someone willing to tackle big business and drum them down a peg? Lost in the white noise I suspect. We are headed for a big cliff and so far no one has a way out. Maybe there isn't. So way to go Obama. You are indeed douchebag of the week.
