They Got into Your Mouth, Your Wallet, Your Home, Now John Roberts & Co Say: They Can Mess with Democracy

This isn’t a ’shoot first, ask questions later’ type blog: For the past 14 months I haven’t blogged much, on any of my blogs, because after election of Barack Obama, I got a whiff of something amiss.  I wasn’t hearing, seeing things that I expected; way Not ready to blog until I sorted out what was really happening. I had an uneasy feeling.

But as intently as I was watching some “legacy” things of the Thug and The Dick who squatted on high, illegally, for eight years, Nothing prepared me for what happened today. Thursday January 21, 2010:  the death of democracy in America can now
commence.

Melodramatic?
Founding Fathers knew: This is the worst thing that could happen to America. Corporations have been prohibited from direct influence, from funding elections –until today.

Corporations have already grown so huge national powerful that:
-when you’re hungry and broke you go to them
-when that gets you sick, your doctor doesn’t cure those diseases, but pushes you into ‘long arms’ of other corporations, which also take your money and give additional illness from toxins
-children, even 3-year olds, legally market targeted, know –which video games -toxic “diet” soda -sugar-laden cereal
-preservative-laced packaged foods they want, and stay indoors, glued to ever-flickering corporate masters, consume unto cancer-prone morbid obesity and diabetes
-when you want higher education, cheap groceries -clothes, roof, credit, you trustingly go to corporations who then rape, pillage, rip off –seize your home –and blame you for wanting home, job, being over-weight, broke…
while they whine about ‘intrusion’ and taxes on their income, profits, bonuses –after they used rigged & bought rating agencies, hedge fund managers and unknowing consumers, mortgagees, taxpayers, forgein governments, worthless SEC and special laws –to save their immoral unrepentant, corporate ass. But: Who has been arrested? WHO has paid?

The money you give corporations spent:
until now, only to blow up mountain tops/kill wind -solar energy; get Pentagon contracts, expand coal mining, change bankruptcy
-banking -insurance laws; and get even larger, better subsidies–e.g., 56 billion subsidy bucks handed to corn farm corporations past ten years why?–you to “trust” them, stifle competition, buy influence on law-makers,Congress –tax breaks –to grow more powerful, influential, wealthy. 

But vegetarian India “needs” MacNuggets –desperately poor Viet Namese thrilled with avalanche of Marlboros –Afghan civilians indifferent to day/night drone bombs –You don’t protest: corporate pal of The Thug owning rights to our genes –after our taxes paid for the mapping?

But Today: un-equal playing field
reved up via Activist “judges” who squat on highest bench, with job and real world immunity, in marble-clad Washington DC monument to their arrogance, indifference, decided: not a Person, but a thing that does not eat-sleep-breath has the Right to Speak in elections.

The No-longer supremes announced:
corporations can pour money, UNLIMITED, directly into American candidates, ballot issues, elections .

John Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, Allito at the core: over-turned 109-year old SETTLED law –decided they are smarter than All others who ever sat on the highest court; more clever than those who wrote the Constitution, came up with NEW interpretation and ruled to violate it.

Today: announcement of The End –of whatever you think of America, as you know it, will begin. May G-d help us.

If you don’t get what that means, yet, and imagine this ruling nothing to do with You:
you will signi up for low-cost Public Option Health Insurance next month? –ever?

Or: you will be among the kicked-out crowd, after still-powerful insurance company stoodges decide ’newly discovered previous condition’ renders your medical bills ‘un-payable’ –their excuse to evade responsibility, drop you, keep your premiums?

When corporate flunkies announce restoration of military draft
–for their newest must-have war to earn even more on their newest must-have weapons, you will do what, exactly?

When “religious” corporations
–order new laws: American women may not use any form of birth control; no abortion/must carry till birth no matter what –even the deformed -diseased -stillborn/dead -issue of incest, rape: YOU will fight How?

Corporations fat with your cash
will now have the right to decide: who sits on local school board
–which/any books bought –how ignorant children will be –propaganda they get fed –which brand logos appear all over schools so you, neighbors and small business owners/potential employers of graduates will stop them how?

Corporate Class/Wealthiest 1%
to hell with expensive middle class, will want: working class, obedient non-union silent compliant workers, paid the minimum. When You Don’t want to make Minimum Wage? You will protest –to whom? Or: fall in line, livid and glad –you have any job….

When corporations use their cash to own/control big media
–but local newspapers can’t afford to cover City Hall, local school board, land deals, investigative reports; TV stations throw up ever-more fuzzy animal -”celebrity” gossip -’reality’ amateur shows, but not hard, investigative news, how will you get informed?

Just stick with the Internet?
When Congress toadies end “Net Neutrality” –you must pay, dearly, for ‘fast lane’ Internet access or wait at the back of the slow lane until you can even get on the Net – Whatwill you do then? 

AT&T, T Mobil, et al have lots more money than you-friends
-neighbors-union-texters could put together to fight them, so you will –write letters to editors of newspapers –and wait?

When ‘garage’ inventors
–ship their ideas to the US Patent office –and they pass on to corporations before recording: new business will be formed by whom?

The person you gave your vote to:
has taken so much money he/she doesn’t dare do a thing to upset their corporate masters –you, neighbors, your city -state reps will like their votes or lump it. Or do you imagine –any one in Congress will still Listen to You???

With bottom-less barrels of cash and new “right” Corporations will ’speak,’ choose who “represents” us in Congress, in White House, in Pentagon: so how will we stop them –from hiding what CIA -FBI -Treasury -State Department -Interior -Pentagon does? I can think of only seven possibilities.

daVine Remedy to corporate new power?
1. E & B: Exposure and Boycott
2. TV “mute” button during commercials all campaign season
3. Buy only from local, individual businesses/ shun national brand anything
e.g. generic or natural (spice, herb, food) drugs; debit card from a credit union; 2nd-year cars; bakery bread, farmer’s market –shun national hardware store -credit
 card -chain food -anything joint
4. Write to your state reps: demand they take back their power NOW and ban corporate money in elections –let the feds try to sue 50 states to enforce “right”
5. Massive short selling : at least 100 million still-working Americans have retirement funds to use to ‘go short’
–concentrate and rotate on any corporations that fund candidate, position ads
6. Ignore: there is Precedent –long ago Presidents who got a high court ruling they disagreed with refused to implement it, sign into law or enforce, simply ignored what the court said; high Court doesn’t have its own police, can’t do Thing One about ignored rulings
7. Withhold taxes: If all else fails we, the 99%, pay only state tax but not pay any federal tax, take huge deductions, fail to file tax return when tax owed; go to all cash for every thing
until:
current President, Congress enacts ways to stop the death of democracy, end mutilation of the Constitution.

Want to or not
we must vote for Democratic President and Congress candidates in next two elections, so he can appoint any new judges; so they can restore law, public’s power, order, sanity –daVine Remedy against activist right-wing “conservative” “judges” and their no-longer hidden agenda.

No more watching from the sidelines
Do Not forget:
-corporations typically donate to Republican Party
-”Patriot” Act theft of rights –1,600 pages handed to Congress only the night before 9 am vote and 99% voted “for” rights theft without even reading
-AT&T diverted ALL calls, e-mail to the feds –secretly, without warrant, judge’s authority or public’s knowledge; then Senators, including Feinstein, gave them immunity from prosecution for violation of privacy, and corporations’ chief shill, the White House Thug, touted illegal acts as a “benefit” for our
“security”

If/when corporations use new “right” to speak in elections: they will make hitler & co. control of citizens look like amateurs.

Right-winger –left-winger –Libertarian –religious zealot, atheist –NRA member, peace-lover –patriot, parent –with/without job, home –no American will be immune.

Mr. Ex President: Find Something RELEVENT and Mind That

To: “Jimmy” Carter
You appear to think–hope?–most people today don’t remember, have forgotten, weren’t around when you occupied the White House, so you’re trying to remind the world who you are.

Hey, no Alzheimer’s with this author.  When oil-rich countries and companies disliked you and your arrogant policies so much they had a ’sudden’ shortage of oil, I remember: doing assignments for art school in a bloody cold  San Francisco apartment because the creep who owned the building refused to turn on the heat, so he wouldn’t have to pay the insane rate for fuel.

You?  You told Americans:  “put on a sweater, get used to it” –suck it up, during “shortage” of oil.   Friends with cars asked friends to wait in gas lines, and I did, I remember.

When Wall Street loathed you:  interest rate went up ‘a tad’ –Prime Rate was 23%. But most Americans weren’t A-1 borrowers, so people who wanted a loan could only get one:   at Prime PLUS TEN points = 33%. No, I didn’t try to get a loan, I was with the crowds in Financial District bars who laughed at your insane ‘management.’ You?  You lectured us on ’sucking it up.’

When we, the world, especially ALL of us, were reeling from the despicable crimes committed by Tricky Dick, we wanted peace, quiet, no more High crimes -Misdemeanors, burglaries, break-ins.  –No more assaults on the Constitution, the Bill of our Rights and privacy –secret deals –un-elected anybody –we didn’t want any more Republicans.

We, mostly, figured: ‘how bad could a hick bible-thumping peanut farmer be’ –and we gave you a chance.   You got into ‘management,’ we guessed, knew or learned since: by making certain agreements with certain insiders to get the job.  You rewarded us with:  lectures, fist-pounding, arrogance, oil “embargo” –long gas lines –inexperienced unsophisticated aides who knew squat about running government and got caught in embarrassing positions. 

You knew nothing, your former drivers, runners, campaign workers knew even less.  Congress, Americans, anyone who could ignored you –when we couldn’t avoid you.

Did you forget?  –Or did you imagine using people who had spent years and hard-earned money training for once-in-a-lifetime Olympic event:  didn’t mind YOU using them to make a political statement to Russia by preventing those atheletes from participating?

You offered sanctuary –against Knowledgable advice, to murderous diseased Shah under ‘humanitarian, health’ disguise –which, as predicted, incited Iranian rage, riots, revenge –and hostages, American ones.  We watched your bungling and incompetence nightly via the new Ted Koppel ABC program. 

We couldn’t get rid of you Fast enough. If we had Brittain’s form of government: you would have been forced –kicked out after one year.

After you finally were booted from office you busied yourself with your biggest client to your new “PR” venture: Yassir Arafat and the PLO.  Oh, Didn’t think we knew?  We didn’t think you were living just off your pension, and nobody suspected you stooped that low –makes you unique alright.

Meanwhile you spent the next 15 years:  badgering the Nobel Committee to give you the Peace Prize, you ‘justified’ since they awarded it to the leaders of Egypt and Israel and not you, but YOU wanted the ‘credit’ for their work, which cost You nothing, cost them their lives.  Oh well, “Jimmy” never sucks it up.

When the Nobel Committee caved:  You?  –Gratitude –grace?  Naw, you used the award ceremony for an “opportunity” to lecture–and bore–the world.

Has it EVER occurred to you why you’re not included in things domestically or internationally?  Dissed by nearly all, even the Thug of past eight years wouldn’t give you a lift to Rome on Air Force One, as he did with others when the last pope died? Ever thought about why REALLY?

Ignorant –blissfully or for real, you keep barging in where nobody asked you. Desperate to elbow your way onto any talk show:  you get there only by writing drivel which publishers, no doubt, have to strong-arm, cajole producers to take so you can get face time.

But now you’ve hit a new nadir.  You hadn’t, apparently, embarrassed yourself enough, you’re so desperate to get noticed you:  ”defend” the President of the US by claiming those who don’t want health care reformed:  are racists.  Wow.  Talk about Dumb.

Hey “Jimmy” Get a Clue:  the current President was elected by All kinds –the Independent, the pale, the red, the brown, the Jewish, the Asian, the student, the senior adult, the disgusted, the Republican, the military, the homeowner, the jobless, the fed up:  We DID actually notice his race during the campaign, but duh, Regardless and/or Despite his race, duh, voted for him –all by ourselves –Huge majority –without your, uh, “help.”  TaDa!

The current President:  doesn’t “need” You sticking your nose into his/our business; nobody “needs” YOU to explain A thing.

–You fooled a nine year old boy author, but he didn’t live long enough to know the Real you. 

To know the things you did on ‘behalf’ of your sick clients is to know:  If we want a twisted pompous irrelevant Bore with disguised ax to grind to make trouble We’ll call. 

Till that day:  daVine Remedy for harm –to Israelis, people who wanted fuel -Food Stamps -a home -business -college loan, the cold, the atheletes, the fed up, those who believed your campaign crap –and for injecting your sorry self into current events with the Irrelevant Get Out of the Way.

Quit hauling your sorry butt and your wife around to places Not Wanted.  Get used to it –I am sure historians will, eventually, meet up with my memory:  you will be marked as the worst person who ever held the office.

Find a Decent client, try yoga -better diet -Self-examination of your sorry life –go sit in a monastery till you acquire some humility or at least a Clue.  Suck it up:  FIND something Relevant to do –Go and Mind Your Own Business.  We don’t have any need for any more face time.  Just Shut up.

Wilson, Williams, West, Wannabe, War: Lipstick on a Pig?

Voters in South Carolina failed to do their homework and made wildly poor choice of whom to represent them in the House of Representatives with: a person who thinks a good group to associate with keeps the memory of Confederacy –of “benevolent” slave-holders alive.

The “representative” of South Carolinians: further chose to defile the decorum of Congress, civility, history, common ordinary manners by calling the President of the United States ‘liar’ during an address to both houses of Congress.

Cloaked in the veneer of respectability, the
“representative” Wilson didn’t seem to get: his un-precedented outcry embarrassed his constituents, his state, his leadership, his colleagues in the House, Americans of all –and no political party and his country –on camera. Republican members of the House instructed, demanded he said, apology to his Commander-in-Chief –as in: he couldn’t figure out on his own, what is civil, what is proper behavior.

He complied with his leadership’s demand, but refused to give apology to House members, nor accept or even get he exposed himself as utterly without class and with racist views.

Republican “Representative” Wilson has every possible right to agree, disagree, side with any view he wants –IN proper time, place. But he was given the very great honor, privilege of: representing ALL in his state, not just those in a tiny district, those of a certain color.

Since then he has seized on his embarrassment, to capitalize on his ’15 minutes’ under the spotlight, to raise money to continue to occupy, his employment more important than any other thing.

Occupying a seat, wearing tie, suit, white shirt, having a title is merely ‘lipstick’ covering up a pig –when one reveals one doesn’t know the right thing, how to behave, obligation of office.

Let us look forward to South Carolinians doing a much better job of choosing who represents them in next opportunity. If they fail: the embarrassment, the ‘lipstick’ will be on them.

Views, opinions that differ from one’s own: do not give one the right to threaten death –not even if dressed in shiny cheap ugly black whore-like dress on a so-called stellar athlete.

When female tennis player Williams didn’t like making an error on a tennis court –and took it out on the line judge who called her on the error: Williams threatened to “shove this ball down your throat” –then, on being fined for the threat, shouted obscenities at the judge. When fined again and the judge named the death threat as the cause for additional fine: Williams, suddenly “shocked” at the accusation, denied the threat.

Williams, who makes lots of money, wears numerous outfits but none honoring the tradition of ‘whites’ on court, proved: muscles, vast wardrobe, money, that the adage applying lipstick on a pig doesn’t alter the pig –or demonstrate class or anything else any young watcher should emulate. Trying to justify “temper” while grinning at a press conference, Dressed up or not: no class is no class.

Years, time, effort, energy, hard work to achieve a career and popular songs didn’t count to K. West when an award-winner was making acceptance thank you speech, to live and televised audience.

West usurped the winner’s position, snatched microphone –mid sentence, to voice his opinion about the runner-up. Who wanted his opinion –how was it appropriate time, place to mouth-off his views? Somehow West has equated his hair “cut” and banal clothes, his mouth, his “achievements” and sunglasses to block out reality: as the public being in ‘desperate’ need to hear from him at that moment. His delusions serve to prove: you can put lipstick, expensive clothes, sunglasses, jewelry, microphone on a pig, but, gee, it’s still a boring boar. There isn’t an apology to cover that.

A Wannabe “premiered” on NBC Monday night. A “new” show for which they desperately hope there are enough young, dumb, bored in America who won’t mind or notice or care a jerk, will watch ‘comedy’
bits from bathroom “jokes” to sex banalities, from old bore who wants to be among the actually funny. –They
‘dressed up’ the same old, in the same old.

This is the Wannabe who participated in NBC and parent Pentagon-favorite GE’s charade: “interview” of an admirer of hitler when he was candidate for political office, but not his opponent was “okay” because the candidate was on an “entertainment” show and therefore (???) didn’t violate the “Equal Time Doctrine.” The jerk & Co did it: twice. The opponent candidate: got zero air time –and zero help from the passive FCC.

The still-unfunny Wannabe failed to ask said candidate about his admiration for the world’s most despicable despot, why he (still) admires hitler; how he would govern the state with the eighth largest economy in the world when he had no experience, no knowledge and no education to do so. The “entertainer” candidate was dressed as a jock, acted like the lousy actor he is and behaved as though viewers were Lucky to be viewing him.

If one applies doodads to an aging ex body-builder ex film exhibitionist and, hopefully, ex sexual predator of co-workers, shows effects of years of ‘enhancements’ plus dyed hair and teeth to get into office though utterly unqualified: plastering applied to the used up –changes the pig into something else???

The un-amusing pudgy Wannabe put in a chair sans desk, adding doodads to a stage to make it appear as Some Thing –to disguise same old tired parade and patter of entertainers on a mission to sell sell sell their movies –CDs –B-rated shows by ‘sharing’ banal anecdotes: somehow different than applying colored paste to the porcine? –Label it other than what it is?

Anyone who ‘falls’ for this tired stale mess: Johnny Carson, the cutting wildly funny still-missed of the Tonight Show, had good, accurate and solid reasons not to call un-funny jerk, accept his phone calls nor speak to him a single time ever after he retired from the Show.

Yet Carson sent jokes, hilarious ones, to David Letterman, frequently invited him to his weekly poker game at Carson’s Malibu home, was mentor, friend, pal to the original, funny and cutting Letterman.

An ex alcoholic, ex druggie frat boy of a multi-millionaire with secret ties to all kinds, in shadows and in ostentatious sunlight, got the idea to manipulate the political process via money, muscle, vicious lies about many things including his opponent’s so-called sexual practices, to take office and show up his daddy.

How he went proved how he meant to go: he damaged international relations, US Treasury, the Constitution, numerous rights granted us in Bill of our Rights, violated treaties, lives and prisoners, rule of law, our moral compass.

At times he ‘forgot’ himself: to & from helicopter caught on camera mid spit. He once appeared on David Letterman, with camera rolling during break, a producer leaned over desk to talk to Letterman: didn’t know
“candidate” thug used her skirt to wipe his glasses.

A newly-published book written by ex frat boy’s speech writer reveals how, why: he got the office and we, society, got coarsened, ripped off. It proves all of daddy’s oil money, all of mummsie’s snobbery could not: cover up roots –granddaddy’s support, funding to hitler and nazie party, and public legal consequences of those entanglements; nor produce a kid with any class.

If he got into office first by a panel of judges, then by twisted electronic machines which ‘gave’ more votes for him than the number of registered voters in those seven states where pals counted: something important was stolen; belief, acceptance in institutions, of process damaged. –Along with hearts, minds, arms, legs, skulls, fathers, mothers, parent-less children –viewers, at home and invaded country and around the world.

To invade another, but ‘dress it up’ as war… when he used his will, power of the office –to lie to Americans, to raise his personal profile, to invade a country no threat to this one to steal another’s’ oil: a Pig has been cloaked in finery, respectability, power, but the ‘lipstick’ doesn’t cover up what’s underneath.

His coarseness, his crudeness cannot be dressed, decorated or disguised: the pig stands alone. We are shamed for his actions, his ignorance.

Wilson, Williams, West, wannabe and war-mongering White House illegal squatter thug have much to apologize for, owe us more than ‘sorry.’ –

Perhaps the universe will see to it that we get proper
‘apology’ one day or another –daVine Remedy for those of such ilk….
