N17 OccupyChi Mass Action, Rahm Emmanuel's Budget and the 1%

"You really started something here. Hope on the streets..." - Batman Begins
The N17 #Occupy Mass Action was powerful. The March in Chicago followed by the General Assembly (GA) at the Thompson Center is an indication the bitter Chicago Winter will not be enough to dissapate the Occupiers.

Attending OccupyChi GA's is informative and inspiring. It's a functioning example of Direct Democracy what the 1% now appears desperate to stop. However, unlike, the other #OccupyMovements, Chicago has not had a large long lasting entrenched Protest site. For that reason, Chicago has also not seen the massive over-the-top paramilitary sweep and clear bulldozer operations Oakland and New York and now several other cities have experienced.

46 arrests were made, but The Full-Lockdown 1% Solution has yet to be applied to OccupyChi.org. Although the previous arrests of almost 50 little old ladies, members of the Jane Addams Senior Caucus, was bad enough.

At the N17 OccupyChi GA, the big item on the agenda was Rahm Emmanuel's 2012 Budget. It was correctly pointed out this budget, like all Austerity Plans, is solely for the benefit of the 1% and at the expense of the 99%.

The Stack, which included a CTA member, a CPS teacher, a long time striker against the Congress Hotel, an OccupySouthSide leader, an off-topic Ron Paulian, and several others focused on specifically condemning Rahm Emmanuel and his budget, and the decision to close of 6 of 12 Mental Health Facilities in Chicago while the others will be privatized. Of all the 99%, those suffering from mental illness or disability are the least able to defend themselves.

Several Beautiful Protesters from the November 15th Mental Health Care Action held at City Hall also spoke. Those protesters spent over 10 hours outside Rahm's office denouncing his budgetary decision to close the clinics.

But, here's the problem. While I fully support condemning Rahm's 2012 Budget, Emmanuel is a tool. Rahm is merely the pruning shears for the 1%. The key is to identify his holders. Who are the Companies which will control these privatized mental health hospitals? Who's on the boards of the Companies? How much will they reap from rationing care to the disabled? What kind of exclusive contracts have they signed to provide mandatory care? What expenses will these private companies be able to illegally slough off onto the people, as Illinois Blue Cross Blue Shield did*, while the profits are funneled to their off-shore accounts?

Rahm's budget is akin to Paul Ryan's Coupon for HealthCare or Scott Walker's Union Busting. The 1% will always be able to find a willing political tool to carry out their orders and steal the wealth of this nation. The key is not to break the tools but to "break" the hands of the 1% thus loosening their stranglehold on the Nation and We, the People forever.
*- Illinois Blue Cross Blue Shield, the states' largest health insurance company, paid $25 million to settle allegations that it denied coverage to sick children in need of nursing care by "fraudulently" shifting their claims to the state's Medicaid program.

Michele Bachmann is a Muslim

Well, it's a shocking revelation (but then all revelations are shocking aren't they?) but Michele Bachmann has been hiding her true faith all along. Sure if your were paying attention back in 2006 you would have noted, Michele Bachmann directly stated,
"But the Lord says 'be submissive. Wives, you are to be submissive to your husband'...I was going to be faithful to what I thought God was calling me to do."
Submission? Islam means submission.

Bachmann has also recounted how she's just going along with what god says all the time. How god has called upon her to run for Congress and how god has called upon her to run for President. This is another solid foundation of islam, Inshallah literally if god wills it, and another clue about Bachmann's mulsim faith.

Now, I know what you're thinking. That Michele Bachmann is just a Dominionist Christian fanatic who is attempting to steal her way into the White House in order to supplant the US Constitution with the revealed word and bring about Armageddon in 2012. But, as every Right Wing blog can testify, muslims, like Michele Bachmann can lie to conceal their faith. And that is what Michele O'Bachmann is doing. She is hiding her muslim faith with lies. It's as though she's wrapped her brain in a burkha.

Frank Schaeffer lays bare Michel Bachmann's evil machinations:

Palin's Charisma

What is my Charisma?
Is it my body or my brain?
~ Charisma, KISS

Sarah Palin is the next Reagan, though Reagan himself would probably disagree. Palin had the bigoted Teabagging birthers in a frothy lather over her speech.

Palin, despite being such a friggin' medically diagnosed mentally deficient person fumbled to name her favorite Founding Father before haphazardly stating all of them, is a force in the Extremist Right because after Nixon, the Republican Party decided it was time to drop the chicanery of intellect and go for looks and Sex Appeal. So the Republicans ran an actor and won, which reinforced their premise that all Republicans need to do is run attractive candidates in the hopes the deluded fools who vote Republican will continue to equate better looking with better human. So we have Scott Brown, Palin and Fox News with Andrea Tantaros and the cavalcade of blondes leading the Republican charge since they learned that by having good looking women they can make people think Conservatism is Correct instead of the evil anti-human feudal kleptocratic pathology that it is...

But, Palin had a job to do. To inform the Tea Party their place is tucked neatly underneath her right boob ready to vote straight Republican in all elections. Racist Limbaugh also instructed the Tea Party not to get any ideas and just mainline Republicanism.

And both Palin and Limbaugh are correct, Teabaggitry is Republicanism is Birtherism is Racism. The Baggers just more forcefully exhibit their bigotry and racism instead of hiding it as the elite Republicans do behind their multi-million dollar villas.

John Boehner, House Minority Leader:
There really is no difference between what Republicans believe in and what the tea party activists believe in.
Michael Steele, RNC Chairman:
It’s important for our party to appreciate and understand that so we can move toward it, and embrace it.
Mark Skoda, Tea Party Leader:
This movement is beginning to mature … not as a third party but a force to be reckoned with in the traditional party structure.
Newt Gingrich, Former GOP House Speaker:
If the Republican Party offers a positive alternative in a way that Tea Party activists and independents join them, the tide could turn.
The vampiric Republicans are steadily moving to capture the Tea Party fervor and using it to quicken themselves once again.

But the Republicans do have a problem. More Americans have become aware the core principles of the Republican Party are to steal Americans money and gleefully kill people. And even if they send out the pretty faced Marsha Blackburn or crazy eyes Michele Bachmann to call for the destruction of Medicare and Social Security all that will do is reinforce the beliefs of the middle aged white males who comprise the only supporters of the Republicans. But, the Republicans are convinced that by 2012 even if Palin's bloom is long gone and her attractive older woman status has faded after several years of jetting around the country in a dash for cash, The Southern Strategy will still win them the White House. And most likely, Palin is merely going to dangle herself in front of the bigots, punks and bullies to arouse them and transfer their adoration onto the Republican candidate of 2012.

Amd it won't matter to the violently stupid, actively ignorant bigoted Conservatives because while they believe President Obama is a Kenyan (or Indonesian) Muslim Socialist who should be Impeached they have no idea what she believes but love what they see...

The Tyrant at Home, The Weakling Abroad

Oh, you were a vampire
and now I am nothing at all
~ Bloodletting (The Vampire Song), Concrete Blonde
How is it that Obama the next Islamo-Hitler ready to cosign Super Patriots Racist Limbaugh, She Who Shall Not Be Named 1 and 2, Sean Hannity, every Fox News contributer, all hand gun owners and the rest of the Real Americans to the gulag while governing with the Iron Fist of ACORN Tyranny in the States while at the same time is the weakest bowingest wimpiest Terrorist Emoldeningest Weakling when dealing with every foreign nation?

Obama has to be the wimpiest Tyrant in history! Simultaneously able to subvert and steal The 2008 Presidential Election via ACORN, yet embracing weakness and also caving into the Terrorists by not immediately ramping up the War in Afghanistan.

The Pro Human Palin and Suffering Republican Party of Chicken Hawk Cowards and their Conservative Teabaging Birtherite Base are ridiculously Brilliant being able to mesh these two diametrically opposed positons into their mushy brains.

But, by continuing the out and out zealous fanatical rhetoric they are forcing moderates and true conservatives to make a choice and while Democrats may lose seats in Congress in 2010, the ghoulish amalgamation of evil anti-human notions which comprise the Anti-Obama Movement are ensuring his re-election in 2012 and hopefully will further push the modern Republican Party towards it's grave, where it shall languish never again to plague the American landscape...

Update:
Unfortunately, the Republican Party is comprised of Zombies, Ghouls and Vampires and like the undead they won't stay buried but will rise again to infect and kill Americans (literally threatening murder and revolution) with their perverted profit over people ideology.

Sarah Palin Champion Republican Victim

Sarah Palin has begun her 2012 push. She's done several interviews in support of her Going Rogue book. The book itself is a mash-up of lies, ignorance and false piety, just the stuff that Republicans and their teabagging birtherite consitutents lap up.

But, Sarah is upset because she was Palinized. Sarah'a a victim, just like all the other Republicans out there. Particularly galling to Sarah is the Sexist Newsweek cover of her which, ummm, exposes her (and her use of the American Flag as a hot body sweat rag)...

Palin has always used her sexuality to advance herself. And when called on it, cries Victim! The Abu Gharib fall "guy", former US Army Brigadier General Janis L. Karpinski sums up Sarah Palin succinctly:
There is something almost sinister in Palin's attempts to seduce the voting public. She has a "come hither" look all of the time, and dares anyone, men or women, but especially men, to approach her or challenge her....

She uses her sexuality, and men's vulnerability, to intimidate them and expose their weaknesses...

She encourages men and women to be drawn first to the sexuality and beauty of a woman before making a decision about her credibility, intelligence and leadership.

Using Sex to win votes is nothing new for Republicans they scare their voters with the horrors of gay sex and castigate Democrats for infidelity (whilst hypocritically engaging in both gay sex and rampant infidelity themselves).

But, nobody cries Victim more often than the Republican Party. From Fox News, Racist Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, and every single Republican white male christian, nobody claims victim status more often and more ironically than Republicans.

The ironic hillariousness occurs because no one else claims to be the biggest baddest toughest meanest Sumbitches on the planet than Republicans. How does one reconcile the these two states of being a Victim but also being Tough?

Well, there are three groups of people who exhibit this tough bravado vicitm-hood whining: Bullies, Chicken Hawks and Punk Ass Bitches. And appropriately enough these are the people who make-up and support the Republican Party: Bullies, Chicken Hawks and Punk Ass Bitches.

That's it every single Republican or teabagger or "conservative" you meet these days is either: a Bully, a Chicken Hawk or a Punk Ass Bitch.

Update:
The comments I get from Righties highlight and support my theory. Most fall into bullying insults or punk ass bitch threats which everyone knows they won't follow through on because it's the nature of the cowardly profit over people ideology the Republican Party has foisted onto these unfortunates...

You Are Unwise to Lower Your Defenses

There She Breaches! ~ Moby Dick, Herman Melville

When Sarah Hot and Palin inexplicably stepped down as Governor many thought she was finished. But, Sarah Palin like a Herpes Sore is never really gone.

Palin will continue to get funding, speaking engagements, support seemingly for a run in 2012. She is the strongest candidate the Republicans currently have... no one knows why. But the prospect of a Palin run is not one I look forward too. It is a situation which fills me with trepidation not giddiness. And for once I agree with the Skinny Blonde Harpy Who Shall Not Be Named the fear exists because She Just Might Win...

Palin won't even have to run against Obama in 2012 if the Republican plan to have him "removed" from office by a rabid Birther. She'd be running against Biden and she'd win. A Palin Presidency would be like having Tipsey Canoe with more tits and winks and less speaking ability.

From the guided palm of Sarah herself:
President Obama can try to gloss over the effects of government authorized end-of-life consultations, but the views of one of his top health care advisors are clear enough. It’s all just more evidence that the Democratic legislative proposals will lead to health care rationing...

Obama wants to kill You. You will stand before the 'Death Panel' wherein Obama will have the power to determine who lives and who dies. And since we already know ObamisHitler and the Democrats are Nazis you are justified in your resistance to them, however far you want to take it.
As an aside, the Right has begun to push back and claim it's a Democrat agent provocateur providing the Obama is Hitler and Nazi imagery, this might be believable if Republican County Clerks in Indiana had not begun Obama is Black Hitler prior to his election, if the quivering R. Limbaugh wasn't pounding away daily the Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat Party are like the Nazis and if this had been stated by a Democratic US Congressman - "That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist." - Republican Congressman Paul Broun. Who proudly stands behind his comments.

So, Palin and anything associated with her (tip jars, divorce rumours) elicits strong reactions. But, despite the entire circus surrounding her, she is the best shot the Republicans have at winning in 2012 so to off-handedly dismiss Palin or officially declare her mystique over is a mistake.

2012

I'm waiting until the Autumn of 2012, to purchase my next vehicle. It's going to be a nice light truck, preferably from GM or Ford. I'm giving them 2 years to produce a 20+mph city vehicle with a decent V6. If the Ford Ranger replacement, the F-100, isn't ready or isn't made for US and Chevrolet is gone or still producing the woeful Colorado I'll go with the Toyota Tacoma Access Cab PreRunner or a Nissan Frontier.

On the Plus side if the 12/21/12, Long Mayan Calendar or the Nostradamus predictions are correct I'll only have a few months of car payments to make. And a tough little truck to carry me to higher ground from where I can proclaim Sic Transit Gloria Mundi... While Videotape plays...

Of course, I don't believe in the 2012 Doomsday malarkey, so I'd better ensure I get Zero Percent financing...

Barackman Hussein Obamadrive

How trusty is this world
~ Strange and ironic, Voivod


The damned Socialist President is at it again. To wit: "The government should create, issue and circulate all the currency and credit needed to satisfy the spending power of government and the buying power of consumers. The privilege of creating and issuing of money is not only the supreme prerogative of government, but it is the government's greatest creative opportunity. Government, possessing the power to create and issue currency and credit as money and enjoying the right to withdraw both currency and credit from circulation by taxation and otherwise, need not and should not borrow capital at interest [from the private banking system or their affiliates] as a means of financing government work and public enterprise.*"

The government should create all the currency and credit! Duh! Duh! Duh! Government doesn't create! Government doesn't create jobs! Government funding never works! And that's why Bankers hate Obama! He doesn't realize that Capital by axiom belongs to the Capitalists! C=C!

This is why Bankers predicted Doom unless Bush's regime pushed through the TARP, a Bankers dream, wherein another Trillion in American taxpayer debt was grotesquely funneled directly to aid the Rich as a last Bushian Fuck You to the people.

But Obama's the President now and The Hyper Toxic Talkers would have you believe the entire mess the country is in, stems from electing Obama and his two months in office.

Yeah, right.

The last 8 criminal years of Bush never occurred, Phil Graham never worked on deregulation, Reagan's Piss Down Your Back Economics didn't create a national deficit.

As late as 2006, the Republican attack machine was blaming Clinton for 9/11 (recall the "Fictionalized History" of The Path to 9/11) an event which occurred 8 months after Clinton was out of power. Of course, using that reasoning Obama has a free pass for at least another 6 months. And every single scandal plaguing Washington today is the fault of George W. Bush.

Except now the Screw Americans First-ers (Republicans) are out of Power and so the rules change. Everything is the fault of Obama! It's brilliant. The goal of course, is to blame a Democrat for the obscene destruction of the futures of Americans by Republicans, who ruin the economy and leave the cleanup to the Democrats. Then an empty-headed Republican can step in and ensure the poor and middle class are further indentured to the Plutocratic Class. This worked for them with the Mythical Reagan. And right now the Republicans grooming Reagan 2 (Mitt Romney) and/or W2 (Sarah Hot and Palin) to challenge in 2012.
