Government of the Rich, by the Rich and for the Rich

"I don’t think $3.5 million is a heck of a lot of money" - Supreme Court Justice Antonin "Fat Tony" Scalia. And in comparison to the people with whom Antonin rubs shoulders it isn't. 

Americans are mad. The 1% have always tried to funnel that anger at the Government. By and large the Rich have successfully duped conservatives into believing the Government is the source of their woes.

Look over there! That teacher has a pension! Look over there! That postal employee has good retirement options! Look over there! That Poor person is eating food and has air conditioning!

The Rich and the Republicans have spent years destroying Americans' confidence in Government by deliberate sabotage, demagoguery over "blaah people's lives getting better" from white Iowa farmers money which they use to eat steak, work out and drive Cadillacs.

The fact is the wholly-owned Republican Party and Pro-Business Democrats do the bidding of the Rich and Powerful. That Government act as the Economic Hitmen and Goon Squad enforcing the will of the Rich upon the Nation.

Even now, during the Republican enforced Shutdown, P90X Ryan offered up his Death to the Poor Budget Plan as "an olive branch".

Ryan's plan is, of course, nothing more than the same Right-Wing gibberish and contains the same-old Republicans canards; Raise taxes on the Middle Class ("broadening the tax base"), eliminate medicaid and make medicare more expensive (if you were wealthy you'd be healthy), increase retirement contributions by federal employees (eliminate the middle class), “opening up America’s vast energy reserves to development.” (Drill Baby, Drill!!!)

Nonetheless, the Republicans Coup attempt is not the endgame. The endgame is "Smaller Government". The Smaller Government they want is one just Small enough to fit into the pockets of the Super Rich.

But, it seems the Koch Brothers are a little skittish about the anger they've helped to foment. Koch Industries public relations arm released a memo denying any involvement in the Republican Government Shutdown.

However, Koch has not taken a position on the legislative tactic of tying the continuing resolution to defunding Obamacare nor have we lobbied on legislative provisions defunding Obamacare.  

We believe that Congress should, at a minimum, keep to sequester-level spending guidelines, and develop a plan for more significant and widespread spending reductions in the future 

Meanwhile, the McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission SCOTUS case is clearing the way for Unlimited Campaign Contributions. So, the Rich can choose the 536 politicians in DC who they will instruct to steadily turn the nation into a Neo-Feudalist hellhole wherein 99% of Americans will be born into Wage Slavery and have no recourse and no friend in Government.

But, the apologists for the Rich will tell those slaves that they are free. 

So, Grover Norquist will tell those slaves they don't need the damned government for anything, and when Koch Industries turns the nearby stream into a slurry of coal slag or when ExxonMobil oil pipeline befouls an entire rive and marshland, those American slaves Grover dreams of creating will simply shrug and accept it as the way things ought to be.

Update:
What Corporate Behemoths and Plutocratic Thieves want is a Government in which 99% of the American people literally can not petition for a redress of their grievances. It's the whole point of Privatization, Deregulation and Outscouring to make a Government that does not respond to the 99% but caters to the whims and directions of the Super Rich.

SNAP! Republicans putting the Dick in Dickensian

Post World War II, Winston Churchill told the United States, that England could no longer shoulder the Burden of the Empire on Which the Sun Never Set and passed the torch to America.

Since then in the proceeding years the United States engaged in their own version of Victoria's Little Wars in far away locales.

But, yesterday the Republican Party decided there's no reason we should not emulate other elements of 19th Century England.

"Please Sir... I'd like some more..."

217 Republicans voted to slash SNAP by $40 Billion over the next 10 years. Nothing says Statesmanship like sticking it the Poor and Hungry.

"We only want to cut 5 percent. That ought to leave more money getting to the hands of the people who do need it,” Republican Congressman Andy Harris.

The Poor in this country have no power and no representation in the Government. To be Poor is to be excluded from the American Dream and doomed to Corporate Servitude.

It's another brilliant play by the Republicans and their Elite Plutocratic Masters. By slashing but, not outright eliminating SNAP the Republicans don't make the 99% desperate.

Because starving and desperate equals dangerous but, undernourished and scared equals docile.

The Ultra-Reactionary Right Wingers are ascendant. In all facets of American Life, the Plutocracy and Oppressive Right are making strides and advancing the cause of Wage Slavery and Neo-Feudalism.

They don't even have to make the cursory arguments about the necessity of Capitalism as they once did as the viscous Income Inequality we have been subjected to in the past 35 years has surpassed even the Gilded Age of the Robber Barons.

No longer do they need to claim the rising tide will lift all boats and some wealth will trickle down. Now, the Plutocracy and their crotch-sniffing Republican Guard Dogs simply go about dismantling any aspect of Government which helps the 99%.

Now, they just Piss Down Our Backs and tell us to think of England.

Corporate Slavery starts with your Facebook Password

Corporate Dominance of Americans is increasingly becoming a reality.

Republicans claim to loathe the government. The only part of the Government Republicans hate are those laws and governmental bodies which help the poor, protect the weak and empower the 99% against the Plutocracy. Anything which serves to aid or protect individuals is hateful to Right-Wingers. But, what Republicans do love is unbridled Corporate Hegemony and Corporations unrestrained by anything which hampers their acquisition of Power and Money.

Thus, while we have protections from the Government, Americans increasingly have no protections from the oppression by Corpoate Neo-Feudalism and their servile Republican lapdogs across the Nation.

There is no point discussing this with some Right-Wingers who have so swallowed the lies of the Republican Party as to not see the chains of Wage Slavery and Corporate Bondage fastened around their necks.

Employers asking for your Facebook password as a pre-requisite for employment?

Employers asking women for what possible reason they want birth control pills?

Churches or Business owners being able to deny you health care because they have a moral objection to how you use it?

Think about this. You, as an American, could tell any individual, police officer, or right-wing bureaucrat to go Transvaginal Ultrasound themselves if they asked this information of you. Yet, Republicans and Right-Wing crypto-fascists are not only happy to let Corporations violate your basic rights but are actively passing laws to empower Corporate Behemoths to oppress and control you. Republicans in Arizona have already made it legal for an employer to ask women about their sex lives and to deny them access to birth control.

When Rand Paul or Ron Paul state they wouldn't have voted for the Civil Rights Act or dance around it's repeal, it is because of the constraints it puts upon businesses. A private business can discriminate, can violate your rights and can have total control over you because it's not government.

When Newt Gingrich or Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah say child labor laws are unconstitutional it's because they feel that Coprorations should have No Restraints put upon their Ravenous predation of the American people including your children.

When the Republican-led House, bolstered by vast number of Democrats, votes to pass a Orwellian-named "Jobs Act", which would further eliminate safeguards, roll back transparency and deregulate the gambling Wall Street interests who crashed the economy a mere 5 years ago they feel no compunction, let alone guilt at their actions, because Corporate/Banking/Wall Street power has so throughly corrupted the US Government all ill-gotten profits are privatized while all losses are subsidized.

Already Corporations pay less in taxes than the average middle class American. Already Corporations, like Boeing, steal Hundreds of Millions of dollars but get away with it under the euphemism of fraud. Already Corporations, like BP, routinely violate pollution standards by willful malfesance or gross negligence. Already Corporations, like Massey Energy, kill their workers by knowingly placing them in unsafe conditions but get away with fines instead of jail time.

What this amounts to is Unequal Protection. The whole Lard Ass Republican Party and most members of the Democratic Party are greasing the slippery slope of Corporate Neo-Feudalist Wage Slavery.

Republicans think 99% of Humanity is Disposable

The fight over abortion, contraception, Medicare, Social Security, Wealth Inequality can all be summed up easily:

To the Republican Party the 99% are nothing more than interchangeable parts to be used in the gears of Industry and War and to be disposed of when broken by those Monsters.

You, Mister or Miss Average American, are nothing but a fresh body to be plugged into the system. When you can't do the job anymore you are not worth anything to the Republican Party and Plutocratic Lords they serve.

This is why they don't want you educated. This is why they want women trapped in the cycle of childbirth. This is why the are constantly trying to eliminate Medicare. This is why they are always trying to take away Voting Rights. This is why the undercut and destroy Labor Unions. This is why the constantly want to steal Social Security.

The whole goal is to get as many people into the Capitalist system, train them just enough to haul trash, input data, pull a trigger or sweep and mop a floor. But, when you can't do those things anymore or can't give birth to another generation...

The Republican Party sees all humanity as nothing more than a giant pool of labor. To be used and abused when young and healthy and cast aside when old, sick or broken.

Here are just some of the evidence:

Senator Mike Lee of Utah ran in 2010 on repealing Child Labor Laws. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gringrich echoed his sentiments by declaring, "Child labor laws are truly stupid" and a plan to "get rid of unionized janitors and pay local students to take care of the school."

Education has always been a bane to Republicans because once people, especially women, are educated they overwhelming reject conservatism and Right-Wing thinking.

Lost amongst the odious Racist Limpballs repeated sexual harassment and misogynistic assaults on Sandra Fluke was he continued on other women and vented his anger on "Overeducated single white females". Educated women scare and infuriate Limbaugh because they can see through his shallow pleas to to the Patriarchy and Oppression.

Rick Santorum thought he was scoring points with conservative voters when he smugly stated,

"President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob.”

But, that was merely a play to anti-Elitism. His real fear are educated Americans. On President Obama’s efforts to boost college attendance, Santorum warned his supporters about higher education,

“because they're indoctrination mills, absolutely … The indoctrination that is going on at the university level is a harm to our country.”

Of course, attacking education as away to further the Oppression of Women hasn't been confined to merely Limpballs 20 year defamation of educated women as "Feminazis". Republicans are using the power of Government to pass laws to restrict and shame any woman who dares buck the power of the Right-Wing Patriarchy.

Multiple Republican controlled state Legislatures, have decided and passed degrading State-Sponsored Trasnvaginal Ultrasound Laws, or to be more accurate State-Enforced Slut-Shaming Rape Wand Laws. The Key Leader of this has been Virginia and Republican Governor Bob McDonnell but such "Laws" have spread to multiple states.

But, not to just limit themselves to "Ultrasound Opportunity Acts" Republicans have begun an assault on contraception and the sexual behavior of all Americans as well.

The Republican Totalitarian Assault on America doesn't just target children and women but is also focused on rolling back hard won gains for all American workers. Republicans take aim at dismantling Unions because Unions give Americans a fighting shot at earning a good, living wage with benefits instead of being held at the whims of the 1% and their cut-throat Capitalism.

The soon to be recalled Governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker never mentioned Unions prior to being elected but after winning struck right at Unions (while sparring others in an attempt to divide and conquer) while sneaking State funds and State-controlled utilities to the Koch Brothers who are bankrolling him.

Several other Republican Governors Mitch Daniels of Indiana, Paul LePage of Maine, John Kasich of Ohio and Rick Snyder of Michigan joined the Crusade and created budgets which placed the burden of Government onto the backs of working and middle class Americans while stripping Unions of Rights all in an effort to reduce the standard of living for Americans and make them wage slaves to Corporate Monsters.

Besides gutting and dismantling Unions, Republicans work to reduce the standard of living of 99% of Americans by their constant restructuring of the Tax Code. Republicans tinkering isn't designed to make it easier or more comprehensible for the 99% but, to make it byzantine and laden with special tax cheats for the 1%.

The elimination of Security and Exchange Tax and deregulation of Wall Street lead to the George W(orst President Ever) Bush Recession, but the dropping of the Capital Gains/Deferred Compensation tax rate to 15% allowed the Richest Americans to accelerate their control over the Wealth of the Nation. So much so, that in 2010 93 percent of income gains went to the top 1 percent.

But, even though Mitt Romney, Nominee of the 1%, paid a tax rate of 13.9% on his income of $21.6 Million dollars, Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh and Newt Gingrich (again) think that rate is too high. They both want Capital Gains taxes to be ZERO and for Mitt and all the Vulture Capitalist to take home all the money they make on firing Americans and closing American factories.

Additonally, the entire deabte over Obama Healthcare Insurance Reform centered around Republicans opposition to letting Americans enjoy a modicum of decent healthcare in their old age. Congressman Paul Ryan when he's not out being wined and dined by Billionaire Hedge Fund Vultures, created a program he calls New Medicare, the goal of which is the destruction of Medicare and it's replacement by a system of capped and limited payouts for medical coverage.

Even though Social Security, as it is currently structured, will be able to pay out until 2037 and is not causing the deficits, Republicans have been claiming for 70 years it's on the verge of bankruptcy. Their dire predictions, like those of Armageddon is at Hand Preachers, all fail but that doesn't stop them from repeating them at every opportunity.

Back in 2010, Tennessee Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn ominously declared, "My colleagues celebrate this day as being like the day when Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid were passed. They forget that today those programs are insolvent and will likely crush our children under their debt"

Texas Governor Rick Perry, who never met a bribe he didn't like, declared Social Security is "a Ponzi scheme".

The only scheme going on involving Social Security is the Republican Plan to steal those funds and funnel them into Wall Street, where the 1% can apply the Free Market to them and they'll vanish into the Plutocrats off-shore bank accounts.

I could go on like this and highlight Indiana Congressman Rick Morris violently stupid, arrogantly uninformed, insulting attack on the Girl Scouts of America when he wrote a memo to his friends in the 112th Congress,

"I did a small amount of web-based research, and what I found is disturbing. The Girl Scouts of America and their worldwide partner, World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), have entered into a close strategic affiliation with Planned Parenthood. You will not find evidence of this on the GSA/WAGGGS website—in fact, the websites of these two organizations explicitly deny funding Planned Parenthood."

This is your Republican Party America. You may think these are just crazies infecting the Party but, it isn't it's part of their goal of reducing the American People to the Status of third-world Wage Slaves, while the Republicans act as the Guard Dogs and Protectors of the 1%.

The Right-Wing Ploy to Blame Barack Obama

"During depressions, money flows back to it's rightful owners" - Richard Mellon Scaife

So, the 243,000 jobs and drop in unemployment are bad, bad news for Republicans. The Republican Party is invested in harming the 99% at every turn. Their job as detailed by their 1% Masters is to hurt the Nation so they can roll back the Civil Rights gains of the People in the 20th century and instill a Neo-Feudalist Right-Wing Dictatorship.

To accomplish this goal, Conservatives have a very simple governing style. Once elected Republicans do as much damage as possible. Elected Republicans are Governmental Suicide Bombers.

Following the carnage Republicans simply (by simply I mean non-stop Propaganda) place the blame on the Democrats elected to clean up the mess from their deliberately destructive policies.

After Worst President of All Time (as of 1973) Dick Nixon resigned in disgrace Republicans decided to lay the blame on the Democrats and did so by harming the Nation at every turn while Jimmy Carter was in office. This was so the Worst President of All Time (as of 1989) Ronnie Raygun could get into office and begin the massive redistribution of Wealth up to the 1%, with his Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Reaganomics.

Of course, I never thought we would see an even worse President come along but, every Republican elected is demonstrably more evil and worse than the one preceding him. Republicans long ago shed their concerns for 99% of Americans and are solidly behind the 1%.

"This is an impressive crowd - the haves and the have-mores. Some people call you the elites; I call you my base." George W. Bush.

So, we see that after having stood solidly behind George W. Bush (The Worst President of All Time until the next Republican comes along) Right-wingers have been busy trying to rewrite history and place the blame all upon President Obama.

And now with the economy still mired in the Bush Republican Recession, the Right-Wing is busy setting up the Alternate Conservative Reality Matrix. When the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) disproves Right-Wing lies and shows the 2009 Obama Stimulus and Obamacare are benefiting the economy, then have Newt Gingrich appear to declare, "We must abolish the Congressional Budget Office". Anytime good economic news emerges, Republican slugs emerge from their slime covered mansions and declare, Don't Give Credit to Obama!

Republican Governor Bob McConnell, Good job report? Lower Unemployment? It's because of Republican Governors! Not Obama! Never mind how! Just never give credit to Obama!

Republican Bigot Sick Rantorum, The economy is improving? Well, that's because I may be elected.

This is the third basic play from the Right-Wing Playbook. Always take credit for good events, always blame Democrats for bad events.

Think of major event and recall the Right-Wing Propaganda response:

The Criminally Negligent BP/Transocean Gulf Disaster? Obama!

The Dow Jones Down in 2008? Obama!
The Dow Jones Up in 2012? Not Obama!

The Housing Bubble of 2002-2007? Barney Frank!
The secret $7,700,000,000,000 Banker Bailout of 2008? Chris Dodd!

September 11th? Clinton!
Osama Bin Laden dead? Not Obama!

Now, as the economy gets better the Republicans are going to have to get more ridiculous with their lies, but outrageous, ridiculous, unbelievable lies are what the Republican Party does best these days. Always Remember what ever a Right-Winger says, it all boils down to stealing the wealth of the world because the 1% WANT! THAT FUCKING! MONEY! And every Republican is invested in helping them steal it.

Rich Myopic A$$holes gonna be Rich Myopic A$$holes

"You’ll get more out of me,” the billionaire Leon Cooperman said, “if you treat me with respect.”

From the No Kidding Files,

According to researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, people in lower socio-economic classes are more physiologically attuned to the suffering of others than their middle- and upper-class counterparts.

Yeah, it's not hard to understand this, Rich People don't give a shit. They don't give a shit if you die from lack of healthcare coverage. They don't care if you get killed overseas fighting to expand emerging markets for them to exploit. They don't give a shit about the number of Americans living in so-called poverty. They don't care if your job is outsourced or an illegal immigrant comes over to do it for 1/10th the cost. They don't care if you die in a Mine Accident or Oil Rig Explosion. They don't care about your suffering. All they care about is stealing more for themselves.


Ask any historian, even one as evil and corrupt as Newt Gingrich about the Rich and Poor and you will see that the entire canon of recorded history is one of those who have wealth setting up elaborate systems of thought to justify their position, their oft-times illegally, unethically, or immorally gained riches. "What they [the Poor] lack is the richness of spirit." - Stuart Varney, Faux News.

Why do you think "I Get It" was the phrase Frank Luntz emphasized as most important to the assembled collection of out-of-touch, effete snobs he coached at the Republican Governor Association meeting earlier this month in Florida?

"Gordon Gecko" of Wall Street and "Patrick Bateman" of American Psycho weren't aberrations to these bastards, they were role models and guides.

Wall Street is fixated on stealing as much money as possible from where ever possible and making their thefts legal and protected by the biggest baddest thugs (The Republicons) they can find;

"Whether it’s the EPA, the FDA, the FCC, the SEC, the CFTC, you name it, there is an acronym for a federal agency causing harm right now. We’re trying to pull that in." - Eric Cantor, Republicon Hit Man for the Plutocracy and Defender of the Transfer of Wealth.

Do you think the 1% give a shit about your job?

"Rich businesspeople like me don’t create jobs,” Nick Hanauer, co-founder of aQuantive Inc.

To the Plutocrats 'Job creation' is an unfortunate by-product of Wall Street Thievery. If the 1% could find a way to make money... Oh Wait! That is what the entire Bush Presidency was! A time where the 1% increased their share of wealth, when 2 out of every 3 dollars of income growth went to the Elites, squeezed as much loot as possible out of a rigged "Capitalist" system and then got the Bush Government and Federal Reserve to give them over $8,500,000,000,000 dollars to cover their losses.

All for the 1%, Nothing for the 99%

"Louis, Louis...still whining after all these years! Have you heard enough of that...I have! I've been listening to it for centuries." - Lestat

The unceasing whine from the 1% has surpassed the angst ridden moping of Anne Rice's titular character from Interview with the Vampire.

“Acting like everyone who’s been successful is bad and because you’re rich you’re bad, I don’t understand it,” JP Morgan Chase and Co CEO Jamie Dimon recently complained to an investor's conference.

Dimon and all the Banking CEOs have not succeeded because of superior skill, work habits or ingenuity. They have succeeded by lying, cheating, swindling, obfuscating, and setting up a giant rigged system in which they knew they could be assured of riding the bubble all the way until it burst and then the bill would be picked up by the American Taxpayer with the help of their chosen defenders the Republicon Party and the Federal Reserve.

But you didn't think they were done did you? At that same "Investor's" Conference Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus was asked if he was worried about the impact of OWS. "Who gives a crap about some imbecile?” Marcus replied. Be sure to read all the quotes from those assembled at this conference; Rich Myopic Assholes are going to be Rich Myopic Assholes.

But, the 1% are never satisfied. Sears and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) successfully took hostage the State of Illinois and demanded a $350,000,000 ransom. The Illinois Legislature passed a measure giving the two Corporations the ransom they demanded. Now, do you think these two are going to invest that money into the State? Do you think they are going to hire thousands of new workers? Do you think they are going to lower prices to aid consumers? No. Sears and CME, the world’s largest owner and operator” of private exchanges for derivatives products, are going to take that money and give their CEOs and Boards millions of dollars in "bonuses".

But, don't worry aid is coming from the US Congress. Of course, it won't be in the form of a payroll tax break which would overwhelmingly aid middle class and struggling working class Americans. No, if there is anyone the Republicons love to be overburdened by taxes and debt it is the 99%.

The Republicons are going to make sure that Millionaires don't receive food stamps and uninsurance coverage. But, don't be fooled by this Republicon move. It isn't designed to curb fraud, waste or abuse, it is designed to get Americans thinking that food stamps and unemployment are wrong and no one should have them.

Please Help the Republicans Eliminate Welfare and Reduce Government Spending [Disaffected]

Newt Gingrich, a perfect amalgam of Hitler and Reagan

Newt Gingrich is a "viciously racist" Welfare Queen, Progressive Taxation Champion - Higher Taxes on the Poor, Lower Taxes on the Rich - composite of Adolf W. Reagan and Ronald Hitler all rolled into one big, fat, taxpayer subsidized maggot.

Newt, like all chicken hawk Republicans of his era abstained from Vietnam, but being a flabby-assed, weak-kneed, coward knew he couldn't hack it in the Real World. So Newt began running for a Government "Job" in 1974. Upon arriving in DC in 1978, Gingrich began his long career of comparing his political opponents to Neville Chamberlain, which contrary to what he "thinks" obviously makes Newt Hitler. Q.E.D. Godwin's Law really should be called Gingrich's Law.

Newt has even proposed The Newt Gingrich Youth. Gingrich called laws against child labor "truly stupid" and unveiled a plan so vile and so hateful, it not only puts poor children to work and eliminates their access to an education but, also takes jobs from struggling fathers and mothers.

During his time sucking off taxpayers Newt Gingrich's career goal has been to create Cargo Cult Conservatism. Republicons have been promising their duped and battered conservative drones that trickle down wealth is at hand for decades. All right-wingers need do is keep on voting for Republicans and the Rain of Wealth would fall on them.

In keeping in line with this cycle, Republicon Presidential Front Runner Newt Gingrich revealed his tax plan. Guess what? Just like with Herman Cain's ridiculous proposal, Taxes are higher on Middle Class and Small Business Owners than they are on the Super-Rich.

The Newt Gingrich plan, has a higher Federal Tax Rate for struggling Americans making $40,000 (12.7%) than for those earning over $1,000,000 (11.9%). Additionally, taxes on Income from Capital Gains would be eliminated.

Newt is a solid member of the Republican Guard, out to harass, harm, oppress and defeat the 99%. Gingrich proudly proclaims himself a "Reaganite" and his tax proposal is right in line with Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Reaganomics. Screw the Majority of Americans and solidify the Transfer of Wealth up to the Richest 1%.

We've already seen that due to the Reagan instituted lowering of the Capital Gains tax rate, 50% of all Capital Gains profits go to the Richest 0.1% of the US. Gingrich's complete elimination would result in an even faster Transfer of Wealth upwards and accelerate the Income Inequality in this Nation to levels not seen since the Pharaohs.

But, Newt off-sets his vicious Neo-Feudalist Class Warfare by declaring he doesn't want to pay people for 99 weeks for sitting on their rear end. Oh wait, that's merely more attack the Poor Class Warfare! While, this rhetoric of not providing unemployment to anyone scores points with the duped and battered conservative voter, Newt Gingrich has never had a real job in his life.

Newt has spent 20 years working stealing in Congress and after being forced out due to rampant ethics violations transformed his DC Insider status into $60,000 dollar-an-hour speaking fees and peddling his influence to Freddie Mac for a cool $1,600,000 dollar kick-back. Gingrich is the epitome of the Republicon Welfare Queen. Getting paid millions of dollars by the Government for doing nothing.

To all the Republicon backers and all the conservatives out there you are clearly supporting a party which is anti-American. But, one of the most stunning achievements of Newt Gingrich, Jack Abramoff, Grover Norquist, Phil Graham, Racist Limbaugh, Tom DeLay, Michele Bachmann and all the current 300 Republicon Bureaucrats is how successful their full-blown John Bircher assaults have been at transferring the blame and guilt for their rampant corruption, high crimes and misdemeanors to Liberals and the Left.

Update:
When one needs to grasp the full tenor and terror of the puffy-faced wide-bottomed champion of toxicity that is Newt Gingrich one need only level their gaze at the magnificent Driftglass: Where Were You.

What's so awful about the 1%? Paul "The Vulture" Singer and Jason Barker provide the evidence

Paul "The Vulture" Singer is a disgusting criminal Hedge Fund Manager. Nothing more than a tawdry thief and the poster child for the 1%, old, greedy, criminal, without a shred of humanity or morality.

Oh, and Paul Singer is a lifelong Republican who is donating huge amounts of money to Mitt Romney and is the largest donator of money to the Republicon Party in New York.

It's not enough that Paul Singer is a man who destroys raids companies, closes US factories and eliminates American jobs but, demands to be lauded under the Orwellian/Luntzian title 'Job Creator', Singer the Vulture actually creates nothing but Misery and Death.

No, this is not hyperbole. Paul Singer is responsible for deaths of Congolese children from cholera. Cholera! An epidemic which can easily be stopped merely by providing people with clean drinking water! As of 30 August 2011, 5,666 cases of cholera and 329 deaths have been reported after the epidemic broke out in DR Congo in March 2011.

But, Singer is too busy using financial extortion to squeeze money from the region. Singer (through his Hedge Fund) paid $10 Million USC for "debt" incurred by the previous irresponsible Congolese Dictatorships then using that debt Singer is demanding $400 Million USC be paid, from the current government, and is holding up international assistance from the African people in the region.

This isn't the first time Paul Singer has used the suffering of others to turn a profit. Singer also infamously bought Owens-Corning out of Bankruptcy. Singer then used his Republicon Political connections to limit the amount of compensation American workers had incurred while working for Owens-Corning suffering from asbestos injuries to increase his bottom line.

This is Your 1%. Paul Singer, Hedge Fund Manager is a member of that small elite. They aren't creating jobs, who aren't funding innovations or "building a better light bulb". They are gambling, loan sharking and transferring electronic digits from one ledger to another. They make their money by accounting gimmicks and turning suffering into coinage.

Of course, the sickening Singer is furious with the intrepid BBC reporter Greg Palast who has repeated uncovered his "money-making" methods. Paul Singer, let the BBC know, "Paul Singer has been sued before," and "We have a file on Greg Palast."

But, Paul Singer will never, ever be blogged about by Andrew Breitbart. Michelle Malkin will never utter his name, Faux News will never acknowledge his evil deeds. Because Singer is a clear cut example the right wing dupes and ignorant conservatives refuse to acknowledge since it undercuts the entire philosophical construct the right wing has been forcing down the throats of the conservatives like so much bilge.

For instance, Bradley Schiller wrote an op-ed entitled "What's so Awful about the 1%"? This is what is so awful Bradley! Letting children die of cholrea. Profiting off of the misery of others.

But, perhaps Schiller is incapable of recognizing his myopic prostration to Power and Money and appears to be a product of self-conditioning.

It almost makes Jason Barker, Bank Examiner at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, look tame. Barker, a bank examiner who apparently could not locate any of the $7.77 Trillion USC loaned and guaranteed to the Big Banks through the Federal Reserve system found enough time to examine his anal cavity by sticking his head up it, posted this on Facebook; "NYPD: feel free to crack some hyppie skulls for me! I work downtown and I what this crap to stop." after the NYPD busted up the Zuccotti Park Encampment.

Barker is just one of thousands of corrupted Bank Regulators who turn a blind eye to the System, to the rampant theft, and have accepted the evil 1% American Capitalist Ideal of Privatized Profits and Socialized Losses. Jason Barker's post shows he is simply mad that the 99% and OWS are alerting people to the rampant Wall Street Corruption before he has had a chance to transition from the regulation side and to the thievery side.

The 1% are nothing more than a collection of Murderers and Thieves.

Capitalism at it's Finest! $7.77 TRILLION for the Banking Criminals

Yeah, you suckers thought the $700 Billion TARP was bad. Turns out the Federal Reserve decided to funnel 11 times that amount to the Wall Street Criminals!

It dwarfed the Treasury Department’s better-known $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP. Add up guarantees and lending limits, and the Fed had committed $7.77 trillion as of March 2009 to rescuing the financial system, more than half the value of everything produced in the U.S. that year.

Plus, over the last few years, the Fed and the Big Banks have been fighting to keep it hidden from the Public. In fact 3 years ago today Decemeber 5th 2008, the Federal Reserve allocated $1.2 Trillion to the Too-Big-To-Fail Banks.

Bankers didn’t disclose the extent of their borrowing.

$7.77 Trillion USC. This ridiculous sham is the Free Market? They call this massive amounts of Taxpayer Welfare Capitalism? The Banks then had the temerity to foreclose on injured veterans? The Bankers continued to claim that poor borrowers were the problem? And as the best and brightest these 'Job Creators' deserved the millions they've gotten as bonuses? Of course, the shameless Banks and their Criminal CEOs turned around and fought any and every effort to place any regulations upon them. American Capitalism is Feudalism.

A fresh narrative of the financial crisis of 2007 to 2009 emerges from 29,000 pages of Fed documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act and central bank records of more than 21,000 transactions. While Fed officials say that almost all of the loans were repaid and there have been no losses, details suggest taxpayers paid a price beyond dollars as the secret funding helped preserve a broken status quo and enabled the biggest banks to grow even bigger.

The US Government has been transformed into the private slush fund of the Plutocracy. The 1% are not bought off anymore with the mere raiding of foreign lands, they want it all. And thanks to the tireless efforts of the Republicon Party and Corporate-Friendly Democrats they are going to steal the entire wealth of the United States.

Rewording the Republican Class War on the American People

"Some would say that it's the Unions that have crippled the U.S. economy and led to the United States' debt..." - Gretchen Carlson, Faux News

Some would say it's time to declare War on Conservatives...

It is clear the Republicon Party has no interest in aiding the 99%. The Republicon Party serves two main constituents, themselves and the Richest 1% of the Nation. And to realize that goal they will do whatever it takes.

A conservative Think Tank, in this case the Heritage Foundation, puts forward a story that Poor People in America aren't really poor and viola, every conservative site re-posts the "findings" and now it's a fact that poor people are not poor and if you are it's your fault. Or as Newt Gingrich puts it;

“Really poor children, in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works so they have no habit of showing up on Monday. They have no habit of staying all day, they have no habit of I do this and you give me cash unless it is illegal.”

Not only is it your fault but you're probably a criminal anyway...

Scott Walker, the Republican Guard for the Koch Brothers, pushed through his anti-worker legislation and Wisconsinites rose up and demanded it not be adopted. Walker pushed through the 1% agenda anyway despite the protests. Now, having been denied their voice, Wisconsin has decided to recall him, so Walker has decided he doesn't care for the Bill of Rights either. Scott Walker has created policy that whenever a group of 4 or more people gather on the Capitol grounds they need to put in for a permit 72 hours in advance and pay in advance the cost for police presence (minimum $50/ hour) plus the clean-up costs afterwards. Free Speech isn't Free after all...

The Republicon Party is better called the Republican Guard because their job is to Guard the 1%. And the Republican Guard and their conservative henchmen will stop at nothing to harm America and defend their Moneyed Masters.

Rightwing shills are paid millions to flood the radio and cable channels with streams of bullshit to continue the Plutocracy's control. Mark Levin has nothing consturctive to offer and merely claims Harry Reid or Frank Lautenberg or whatever Democrat he wishes to attack is "suffering from dementia". And no it's not Medical Doctor Mark Levin or trained Pyschologist Mark Levin. Mark Levin is a a lawyer and like all the chicken shit conservatives infesting the US these days, after becoming a lawyer, Levin is a chicken hawk who went to work for the Reagan Presidency and has never held a real job.

But, while toxic conservative garbage like Mark Levin lay out the Right's anti-Democratic Party mantra it is up to the Frank Luntz to place the proper Orwellian Language into the mouths of Republicons to continue to fool conservative voters into supporting a political party of scoundrels, cheats, criminals and elitists wholly owned by the Richest 1% of this Nation

Frank Luntz admitted he is

“so scared of this anti-Wall Street effort. I’m frightened to death. They’re having an impact on what the American people think of capitalism.”

So, Luntz gets out and creates his Orwellian rewordings of the Republicon Guards policies. The 1% solution for the Middle Class; To Destroy the Middle Class and reduce the 99% to Servitude, Penury and Wage Slavery.

Frank Luntz advised them to move away from "capitalism" and say "Economic Freedom"! See, when you talk about trickle down economics don't say Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining say Rain Economic Freedom on the Middle Class.

But, don't say "Middle Class" call them "hardworking taxpayers."

“We can say we defend the ‘middle class’ and the public will say, I’m not sure about that. But defending ‘hardworking taxpayers’ and Republicans have the advantage.”

It's clear to Luntz that the American People know the Republicon Guard cares only for the 1%.

The 1%, the Establishment has always hated a thriving Middle Class because it upsets their power dynamics. For the first 100 to 150 years of the Nation's exsistence, the Plutocracy ruled and the wealth of the Nation flowed upwards into their hands. Now, thanks to help of their Republicon Guard the 1% have stolen so much and created the such an economic disaster for so many people that for the first time in decades We, the People have said enough. #Occupy and OWS have shifted the attention onto those who have engineered this Economic Inequality and Recession and the 1% don't like it.

Will enough lies, slander, smears, doublespeak and rewording of the on-going Classacre derail us?

Which Side Are You On?

"Go get a job right after you take a bath." - Newt Gingrich recalls his chicken hawk youth and revives the Dirty Hippie taunt, lovingly highlighted by Andrew Breitbart.

The recent criminal violence by Police Officers directed at the #Occupy Protesters is merely a symptom of the Overall Disease which plagues America; The Infestation of the Nation by the 1%. I use the terms very purposefully because what we have seen besides Criminal Behavior by the Police (at the direction of their 1%) is a orchestrated campaign of dehumanization from Rightwing Propagandists and servants of the Plutocracy designed to create conditions were conservatives support violence against the 99%.

It's a daily barrage of loaded terms, bigoted labels, and dehumanizating castigation of the #Occupy Movement which has seeped into and now permeates every rightwing blog and news site. It's also a very old tactic. And if you should happen to be so skeptical that the Rightwing Media of this Nation is being pulled/directed/massaged towards vilifying and lying about OWS, you are not paying attention.

Here is a Lobbyist memorandum to the American Bankers Association highlighting ways to target OWS, including the monitoring of Open Source Intel (#Occupy Social Media Sites) to manufacture smears and plan counter-protest actions and strategizing the Messaging War against OWS. All for the low, low price of $850,000 USC.

It should have been clear early on that the 1% wasn't going to allow their control of this country subside merely because their inhuman greed, evil crimes, theft, oppression and murder had pushed the total income of 150 Million Americans under that of 400 people. And that a mere 0.1% (One-Tenth of the One Percent) make HALF of the Capital Gains Income in this Nation.

The 1% has always had willing defenders who will lie, obfuscate, confuse, smear, distort and when that fails just call for outright violence.

"Remember the lesson from my book: It just took a few shootings at Kent State to shut that down for good," - Ann Coutler.

The Process of dehumanization is almost complete. From World Net Daily writer Phil Elmore,

"Call out the National Guard. Turn on the fire hoses. Send bulldozers. Bring flame-throwers, for pity's sake. Men and women who give a damn about their country, wearing Hazmat suits and respiratory gear, empowered by the lawful government of this nation, should be marching in ranks on every Obamaville this very moment, prepared to beat with truncheons and shoot with rubber bullets every last filthy hippie. The "occupiers" are criminals and terrorists."

Here's a twittter rundown from John Nolte, Editor-in-chief of Andrew Breitbart's Big Government Site. His tweets read as a justification of violence and oppression and are cheerfully supported by the diseased Rightwingers. A Nolte tweet from Nov 17, "#OWS #OccupyWallStreet is a domestic terrorist organization. End of Story." A Nolte tweet from Nov 20, "Why do people say 'pepper-spraying defenseless Occupiers' as though it's a bad thing?"

Because at the core of this Battle is; Who shall control the Country? The 1% and their Rightwing Guardians or the 99%? Which side are you on? The 99% or Karl Rove's? We ARE the 99%.

"No you're not! No you're not! No you're not! No you're not! No you're not! If you believe in the right of the First Amendment to free speech then you demonstrate it by shutting up," Karl Rove...

"My Job is to Protect and Serve Real People, Not 'Romney' People."

The Images of Police Brutality, including the wantonly sadistic spraying of the seated protesters at UC Davis, the pepper spraying of an 84 year old woman at #OccupySeattle and the open mouthed close ranged shot at the N17 OWS have galvanized the Occupiers and delighted the sick, twisted and deranged conservatives.

But, it's a sideshow.

The 1% are ecstatic OWS and #Occupy are being side-tracked into civil rights complaints against individual officers or even whole Police Departments, because it takes the spotlight off of them. The 1% always want the focus off themselves, it keeps allowing them to get away with Plunder.

Now, from the images I think the Officers committed crimes. But, everyone should realize the Officers in question are going to parse their reports with just the right verbiage, i.e. 'a volatile situation, fear for my and my fellow officers safety, the body language of the protesters indicated willful disobedience to my lawful instructions, proper use of force, etc', that they probably will escape criminal punishment and at most will receive administrative discipline from their Departments.

But, remember the Officers are the Tools of the Oppressors. These conflicts with Police have been what the 1% have been dreaming about and hoping for since OWS began on September 17th. Do not let them succeed in dividing the 99%.

These officers and their actions must be condemned (and punished) but the focus must always be turned back to the 1%, the Oppressors. The Goal must be to Destroy the Plutocracy and return the American Dream to the 99%

The 99% Shrugs. Going Galt is exactly what OWS and #Occupy are Doing!

Ayn Rand that scion of selfishness and thievery thought she had perfected an ideology for the blood-sucking parasitic Plutocratic class to use in furthering their oppression of the True Producers of Wealth the 99%.

Well, now the roles have been reversed. OWS is "Going on Strike". OWS is suceeding in highlighting the enormous Income Inequality between the Real Producers of Wealth in this Nation, the 99%, and the Moocher Class; That cadre of Politicos, Bankers, Yakuzas on Wall Street, the Corporate Media and the Members of the Brandy Snifter Class. The 1%, the Biggest Moochers in History.

The 99% produce the Wealth, the 1% suck off the wealth and elevate frauds, charlatans, grifters and bullies into the Political and Media Class to Legitimize, Justify and make their Theft of Trillions Lawful.

What they #Occupy Movement has realized is their Direct Actions make them the "True Atlases". The #OccupyMovement knows the 1% have survived only by creating a System in which the largesse they enjoy is not gotten through superior talent, hard work or imagination but through an ever increasingly byzantine structure of wealth transfer.

Corporations are the biggest moochers in history.

Over the last three years, 78 corporations had at least one year where they paid no federal income tax at all, while 30 corporations paid ZERO over the entire three years. Even though those 30 Corporations made $160 billion in profits over that period.

Halliburton and their subsidiaries received Billions in No Bid Contracts from their Moocher buddies under the Bush Administration.

These Corporations, Lockheed Martin ($61 Million) Boeing ($644 Million), Northrop Grumann ($410 Million), admitted to stealing Millions via fraudulent contracts through the DoD.

The Corporations, Chevron, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips and Exxon Mobil receive Billions in Tax Payer dollars from the US Government via subsidies which were crafted as early as 1916.

All of these Moocher Corporations are protected by the Republican Party, many members of the Democratic Party, increasingly Paramilitary Police Forces and a Corporate Media World which shields and succors them.

And these Political and Media Attack Dogs defend their Moneyed Masters with cries of Socialism! We do have in America is Socialism. For the 1%.

So, 99% it's time to Shrug Off the shackles of the Moochers. It's time we tell the Plutocrats, the 1% who have survive only by Plunder, only by stealing the fruits of our labor, it's time to tell them no more. The Free Ride on the Backs of the 99% is Over!

The 99% Shrugs!

Update:
I found this Libertarian Blog Post by Wayne Allen Root, a few months back. It is hilarious the level of ideological blindness, effete ignorance and fantastical escapism which has crept into the hard right over the years. Root writes;

The lesson of Atlas Shrugged is that without the $100,000+ earners paying into Social Security, there are no pensions for the poor and lower middle class. Without the wealthy owners of million-dollar mansions paying $25,000 and $50,000 annual property tax bills, there is no funding for public schools. Without the wealthy paying into Medicare, there is no “free” healthcare for the elderly. Without capitalists motivated by profit, there are no discoveries to eradicate polio or create miraculous cancer and AIDS drugs. Without capitalists motivated by profit, there are no jobs, period! That is what happens when the producers of society go on strike to protect themselves from the looters.

First off, there are so many errors. Jonas Salk famously did not patent his polio vaccine. Social Security taxes are capped at $106,800 so the + Earners that Root so worries about aren't paying anything extra for the poor and lower middle classes he so disdainfully hates.

For far too long We the 99% have allowed these so-called Capitalists get away with calling themselves the Productive Class. Well, they aren't. Mitt Romney, these Hedge Fund "Managers", aren't creating anything. They are Theives and Fakes, playing number games and killing American Jobs to increase their financial bottom line. So, the Strike has Begun Mr. Root but it is against You and Your Class of Criminals we the 99% are Striking!

Conservatives Love when Veterans commit Suicide and Cheer when Police Attack Protesters and Veterans

In 2005, when asked about Government spending on Veterans George W. Bush's Pentagon's undersecretary for personnel and readiness, David Chu said, "The amounts have gotten to the point where they are hurtful. They are taking away from the nation's ability to defend itself."

Since OWS, Conservatives scum skimmers and smear merchants have made it their mission to destroy the Movement. They do this because OWS and #Occupy are telling the truth about the the Plutocratic Elites and the awfulness of conservatism which, is wittingly aiding the transfer of wealth to the Richest 1% while forcing the 99% into wage slavery.

Every story about OWS on the major conservative sites and thus re-posted on all the group-think rightwing blogs has tried to cast OWS as an extremist movement. Therefore, as the #Occupy Movement has gained steam, the Right has called for what it always calls for, the Violent Crackdown of political opponents by Government Officials.

This is the true nature of Rightwingers. When faced with a political movement they disagree with (although let's be clear the Right hates and fantasizes about killing Liberals and the members of Democratic Party) they immediately call on Power of Government to eliminate their political opposition.

Conservatism is Terrorism. Conservatism is Chicken Hawk Warmongering Cowardice. Conservatism fails and marginalizes minorities, women, LGBT, the impoverished, the sick, those with non-conformist ideas or beliefs and, yes, the Veterans they pretend to fawn over.

"They want to break down the white, Christian, male power structure, which you’re a part, and so am I." - Bill O'Reilly, May 29, 2007.

If the Rightwing was consistent the images of Police violently beating OccupyCal Protesters would get them out in the streets.

If the Rightwing weren't hypocrites the stories of Marine Corps Iraq Veterans Scott Olsen and Kayvan Sabeghi wounded while exercising their Constitutional Rights would be a Cause Celebre. Instead conservative chicken hawk liar Jim Hoft, slandered Olsen, until it was shown the Hoft's slanders were not about the Marine Corps Vet Scott Olsen, then just like all rightwing smear merhcants, Hoft doubled down.

If the Rightwing actually cared about to help Veterans instead of turning a blind eye to their endemic plight of homelessness and suicide, they'd push for increased taxes on Corporate Thieves who use the military to increase their bottom line and then slyly leave the physically and mentally broken Vets to be taken care of by the government.

Instead, the recent suicide of Veteran at the OccupyVermont camp has been used by Conservatives as a call for ending the #OccupyMovement. The only Veteran Conservatives love is a dead Veteran. Because then Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity can stick their perverted inhuman ideology onto the lips of the dead Veterans, as they did with Pat Tillman. But, when it turns out Tillman was anti-war and fought against every part of the despicable conservative policies. Toxic conservative garbage Ann Coutler will simply say, "I don't believe it." Chicken Hawk Hannity concurs, "I don't believe it either."

And that is why even though Veterans are joining the ranks of OWS, because if one group can see how the American Capitalist system chews up and spits out people it is Veterans. So, Sean Hannity calls Veterans and Teachers at the OWS Protests, "Skinhead Nazi Pyschos". Andrew Breitbart compares OWS to Al Qaeda and 9/11.

Instead of actually listening to OWS, the Rightwing is fixated on President Obama. The Right is furiously trying to proclaim OWS as Obama and Rahm "Chicago-Style Gangster Politics". Proving first that they know nothing about OWS, #Occupy in general, and OccupyChi specifically.

It's fright you hear belching forth from the conservative toxic garbage mouths. They are bereft of ideas. Conservatism is a zombie philosophy espoused by bigots, charlatans, crooks and elitists to flatter their 1% Masters and enslave the 99%. OWS has them scrambling. #Occupy is resonating with more Americans everyday who are rejecting the Plutocratic Neo-Feudalist system conservatives are rabidly defending.

John Hinderaker, Jim Hoft and Andrew Breitbart battle The Barbarians of Zuccotti Park

The drumming. (drums fingers on table) I thought it would stop but it never does. Never ever stops. Inside my head, the drumming, Doctor. The constant drumming. - The Master

I could help you. Please, let me help. - The Doctor

It’s everywhere. Listen, listen, listen. (taps table) Here come the drums. Here come the drums. - The Master
The Sound of The Drums, Doctor Who

OWS has the so alarmed the One Percent they've called forth All of their smearing Conservative dogs. These mendacious plutocratic sycophants will spare no effort, will leave no lie unspoken and will use anything to serve their Moneyed Masters.

Chief liar and fabricator Andrew Breitbart is the scummiest piece of conservative trash and filth for proclaiming in a tweet:

Coincidence or Coordinated? #OWS attacked Wall Street to the week after Al Qaeda attacked Wall Street on 9/11.

Breitbart is Loathsome. Just loathsome. But it shows, 1) conservatives will never stop waving the bloody shirt of 9/11 and 2) despite being a serial liar Breitbart will never be shunned or silenced and the bigger his lies and outrageous statements the more support he will receive because he is doing it in service to the Rich and Powerful. His entire operation over at BigGovernment is devoted to undercutting, infiltrating and destroying the 99%. Imagine if he uncovered professionally manufactured memos with these mission statements:

- "Spread out in the hall and try to be in the front half. The objective is to put the Rep on the defensive with your questions and follow-up. The Rep should be made to feel that a majority, and if not, a significant portion of at least the audience, opposes the socialist agenda of Washington.”

– “You need to rock-the-boat early in the Rep’s presentation, Watch for an opportunity to yell out and challenge the Rep’s statements early.”

– "The goal is to rattle him, get him off his prepared script and agenda. If he says something outrageous, stand up and shout out and sit right back down. Look for these opportunities before he even takes questions.”

Of course, those were crafted by the Dick Armey and Koch Brothers for 1% fueled and financed Tea Party. #Occupy and OWS are true grassroots movements.

John Hinderaker posted a video on his Powerline blog, with the headline Rampaging Occupiers Attack 78-year old Woman The evidence? Why strangely (or purposefully) the video fails to capture the moment of the "attack", but does show two elderly ladies at different times and different areas having fallen to the ground and being helped to their feet by police/security personnel.

Oddly, at this same rally, a One Percenter ran over 3 protesters and then ran into another group of protesters with his car. The Rightwing response? Applause and fantasizing about doing it themselves or shooting the protesters.

Glenn Beck's The Blaze, Hotair, FreeRepublic, Erick Erickson's Red State blog and Yahoo news stories are now replete with conservatives calling for fire hoses, clubbing, violence and police brutality. When a peaceful protester was shot by a Oakland Police Officer,

“While filming a police line at Occupy Oakland after midnight on Nov. 3 following the Nov. 2 general strike, an officer opens fire and shoots me with a rubber bullet. [Probably a bean-bag round G_e_G] I was standing well back. There was no violence or confrontations of any kind underway. At 0:31 seconds you can see a tall officer in the front raise his weapon and then fire. This is the full clip of the incident.”

Conservatives cheer.

Conservatism is Terrorism. It's designed to push the majority of Americans into penury and wage slavery. It's Orwellian in it's language and actions.

But, despite the worst efforts of the Breitbart and his ilk, by an overwhelming majority, the American People know Wall Street and their wholly owned Republican Party are responsible for the economic calamity. The Top 3 causes of the Republican Recession are:

1) Investment Firms and Banks making Risky Loans and Investments,
2) American Companies not investing in creating jobs in America,
3) The Economic Policies under former President Bush, including tax cuts for the wealthiest families.

So, while images and video of 50 elderly seniors of the 1500 members of the Jane Addams Senior Caucus being arrested at OccupyChi warms the cockles of Rightwing Terrorists hearts, it strengthens the spines and resolve of The 99% to continue!

Wall Street's Tricks & Unequal Justice Must Come to an End

Boys down on Wall Street are up to their Tricks
Because there's always a way to put in the Fix - Halloween 2009, Loudon Wainwright III

Theft of Property exceeding $1,000,000 in value is a Class X Felony. - Theft as described in 720 ILCS 5/16-1 (b) (6.3)

Theft of Billions garners Stadium Naming Rights. - Bank of America's Legal Code

Woe, be to the petty thief or criminal. Bruce Judson points out thousands of #Occupy Protesters have been forcibly and oft times violently beaten, pepper sprayed and then arrested yet the Bankers and Wall Street Criminals are not only not being paraded to jail in silver bracelets but continue to enjoy the financial fruits of their crimes.

Almost 3,000 people have been arrested for activities that caused minimal, if any, injury to our society. At the same time, no financiers have been arrested for blatant legal violations, probably including extensive fraud, which have led millions of people to suffer and have practically brought our great nation to its knees.

They went after Bernie Madoff only because he stole from the Rich. Remember the Rich operate by a different set of rules. And it's these Different Rules (i.e. Laws) which have allowed these Banking Criminals and DoD Defrauders to amass huge fortunes. It is NOT as the Republican Party would have you believe that Wall Street succeeds by superior drive, work ethic, motivation, talent and gumption.

Matt Taibbi points out Wall Street Hoods and Thieves aren't winning by working harder or smarter, they are getting ahead by Cheating and by paying off Policing agents and by rewriting laws to make their crimes legal.

[I]nequities are what drive the OWS protests. People don't want handouts. It's not a class uprising and they don't want civil war -- they want just the opposite. They want everyone to live in the same country, and live by the same rules. It's amazing that some people think that that's asking a lot.

For instance, the changes I would like to see are:

1) End Corporate Personhood.
2) Tax Capital Gains Income as Ordinary Income, increase and collect taxes from Corporate cheats like Verizon, Boeing, BP, and Halliburton, raise the top tax rate to pre-Reagan era levels.
3) Reinstitute the Stock Trade and Exchange Tax at around 0.25%. Make Banks and Wall Street gamblers pay for their own bailouts. We had one from 1914 to 1966.
4) Empower the Consumer Protection Agency, Security and Exchange Commission, DoD Oversight and any other committee which will enforce laws and actually regulate and hold accountable these corrupt Corporate Criminals.

But, despite the obvious appeal to natural law, US legal precedents, equal treatment, and economic fairness, the 1% are deploying their Rightwing Smear Merchants and handpicked Republicans to obfuscate, distort and Lie.

As every Conservative knows when the narrative doesn't conform to your bigoted rightwing views simply manufacture quotes, attribute them to your liberals and propagate them amongst the conservative blog-o-sphere. Meet Jeremy, 38 year old slacker from Occupy Toronto or Occupy Wall Street,

“It’s weird protesting on Bay Street. You get there at 9 a.m. and the rich bankers who you want to hurl insults at and change their worldview have been at work for two hours already. And then when it’s time to go, they’re still there. I guess that’s why they call them the one per cent. I mean, who wants to work those kinds of hours? That’s the power of greed.”

Ha! Take that Marxist Libtards! Except like all things conservative it's a completely made-up quote from a "satirical" (rightwing code for Lies) piece written by Mark Schatzker.

Of course, that didn't stop Rick Perry from repeating it at an erstwhile campaign stop, and from it becoming Internet Fact amongst Rightwing Liars.

The 1% are not going to stop. They have been oppressing people and stealing for so long, they hold it to be their Right. The Divine Right of the One Percent. We have a chance, a slim chance to reserve the flow and strike a blow against the Oppressor Class now. But, to succeed We the People are going to have to suffer beatings, smears, arrests and the indifference of those who cater to the Rich and Elite.

Don't back down, don't give in. Get off of the Sidewalks and Into the Streets!

Update:
Here's what the 1% think of the 99%, from Oliver Willis:

NY Times columnist Joe Nocera has revealed pictures from last year’s Halloween party for the Steven J. Baum law firm, a law firm that has been a key ally of the big banks in foreclosing on homes and evicting people. They represent Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo. When people attack the Occupy protesters or President Obama or Democrats or Liberals for “waging class warfare” that’s because we’ve only just now joined the war. We’ve been under attack, from the inside, for a long time. We’ve only begun now to fight back.

OccupyOakland as a case study in Shattering the 99%

Uh-huh, this towns full of money grabbers
Go ahead, bite the big apple, don't mind the maggots
Shadoobie, my brains been battered ~ Shattered, The Rolling Stones

"Christ this'll stain the Department for years."
"Decades..." L.A. Confidential

The images from the Police dispersing OccupyOakland apparently with tear gas, "flash-bangs", and shotgun fired beanbags rounds (all of which the Oakland PD deny using) are disturbing. But, not shocking. These actions are what the 1% want from Police across the country. The Police have always been tasked with keeping the Demos in line, mainly with petty criminal statutes but when necessary by mass arrests in sweep and clear paramilitary type operations. So, as in Boston and other cities the Oakland Police Chief and Command Structure have just ensured enmity between Police Officers and People for a couple decades.

As always Police Officers are put in the worst position, just like front line soldiers, because the Rich and Powerful REMFers never, ever place their "skin in the game". Just remember while the 4 am raids are going on, Racist Limbaugh is "Dreaming of Riots in Denver."

Now, the Occupation protests present a huge tactical and logistical nightmare for Public Officials and Police Officers. There is, unfortunately, a likelihood of crime occurring in these make-shift encampments. Plus, when one adds in the waste management and trash disposal issues, not too many cities want a shanty-town to grow up in their midsts. But, the thing that is really driving the massive arrests and violence against American citizens is the message they are bringing;

Stop catering to and enforcing the Whims of the Wealthy. Stop the Classacre upon the Middle and Working Classes.

The Big Picture success of OWS has been the shifting of the focus from austerity measures (i.e. The Massive Transfer of Wealth Upwards) and to addressing the struggle of the 99% and the terrible burden the Entitled 1% have caused with their blatant criminal greed and thievery. OWS has caused a fundamental shift, which the 1% are desperate to shut down.

But, to me the #OccupyRevolutions more impressive accomplishments are how, in less than a month's time, their experiment in direct democracy is succeeding, while also handling the day-to-day issues of food preparation & distribution network, internal security measures, medical services, trash removal and sanitation. As a Police Officer and a Big Government loving liberal I applaud their efforts to regulate, clean up, and police the area.

When I first went downtonw to OccupyChi, I was encouraged because some of those early members had already created a police liasion. It seemed the protesters had at least grasped the idea that working with the Police to accomodate small rules would help them avoid the crackdowns the NYPD and Michael Bloomberg were exerting upon OWS.

I thought eventually the OccupyChi Protesters and the everyday down-in-the-streets Chicago officers could work to ameliorate conflicts. It would bring together a positive police presence in the encampment whom the protesters could learn to trust.

It is my opinion that officers conducting spot checks, watching for plain sight crimes and roving meet and greet patrols, amongst the Protesters while they are on public property or in the early morning hours would have fallen under the standards established by the Courts in the Terry v. Ohio ruling (Terry Stops). It could have kept unsavory or criminal elements away from the Protesters and would not have been a violation of 1st or 4th Amendment Rights.

Well, this of course, was not to be as OccupyChi has twice been cleared from Grant Park after midnight raids from the Police. The repeated raids, sweep-and-clear mass arrests, destruction of property and iron fist tactics are not going to stop.

Now after such over-the-top brutal methods the Protesters will never agree to having small bands of roving officers wandering through their encampments. Once again the 1% have successfully parlayed the Us v. Them Game.

I DO NOT agree with and shall never agree with these type of tactics. Early morning raids, tear gas, mass detentions conducted on the Protesters for what amounts to a Municipal Park District Ordinance Violation is Unconstitutional.

But, what every Police Officer should realize is once the People are crushed, once the Middle Class is forever obliterated, once we are reduced to Wage Slaves chained irrevocably to be cogs in the machines of industry and war, only a small cadre of police will needed, the rest will be disposable.

In New Jersey, about 4,000 police officers have lost their jobs in the past two years (2009-2011), said Anthony Wieners, president of the state’s Policemen’s Benevolent Association.

Conservative Terrorist Attack: Bomb Thrown at the Occupy Maine Camp (plus a Tea Party Terrorist Attack you may have missed)

It's high time OWS and #Occupy realize that violence is coming their way. Arrests are just the first step. The Right Wing in this country will not tolerate their Lords and Masters, the 1%, being brought to justice.

And to that end, while the Faux News Lies, the Conservative Think Tank Smear Jobs and Republican Insults will continue, here comes the violence.

A Right Wing fanatic attacked the #OccupyMaine Camp around 0400 hours this morning.

Portland police Sgt. Glen McGary said the bomb was thrown into the camp’s kitchen, a tarped area where food is cooked and served. Protest organizers said the explosion lifted a large table about a foot off the ground.

"There was no fire . . . We had a good 20 feet of thick smoke rolling out from under the table," Wilburn said. They could see the "G" on the 24-ounce bottle and its orange cap, as well as bits of silver metal, she said.

Witnesses said a silver car had been circling before the attack, its occupants shouting things like "Get a job" and "You communist." They believe someone from that car threw the device, according to a statement from Occupy Maine.

Now, where have I heard this before?



These are Modern Conservatives; the violent willing dupes for the 1%. Ready and Able to conduct terrorist attacks for the Rich. The 1% want OWS and #Occupy stopped.

But, conservatives want a casus beli, which is why Faux News, Breitbart, Racist Limbaugh, Jim Hoft, Michelle Malkin and all the other Toxic Conservative Bloggers have declared the American Nazi Party and North Korea are with OWS. It's justification. Once the Right Wing has convinced their ignorant followers of the danger conservative terrorists will feel righteous and justified in attacking and murdering OWS.

"Bring it on. Because I know who’s on our side. They can only win a rhetorical and propaganda war. They cannot win. We outnumber them in this country, and we have the guns. (laughter) I’m not kidding. They talk a mean game, but they will not cross that line because they know what they’re dealing with." ~ Andrew Breitbart

A brave Tea Party Patriot walked into a Salon...

Sadly, thisn't the start of a joke about libtards or leftists or feminazis it's the story of how a Tea Party Hero Scott E. Dekraai walked into a salon, wearing body armor, shot and killed his ex-wife and 8 other innocent people. Remember, just as Andrew Breitbart warned, the Tea Party members "have the guns".

Andrew Breitbart, his Minions and Conservative Toadies slandering OWS, OccupyChi and #OccupyTogether (Updated: Of course Faux News jumps aboard)

For a few weeks, The #OccupyTogether Revolution had the majority of Rightwing flummoxed. Most Conservatives had no idea how to attack the movement. They did know they hated it, but they're weren't sure why or how to pigeon-hole and fix their enemy for destruction. But, now we have the Big Conservative Attack; Andrew Breitbart, Pajamasmedia, and every Major Righwing Blog are running with the OccupyRevolution are Nazis, Communists and Anti-Semites.

Here's the headline which the Rightwing Toadies to the 1% are running with;

Nazis and Communists Throw Their Support Behind Occupy Wall Street Movements

Because what better narrative to use then the Soviet Politburo and Hitler are behind holding the Wall Street Criminals to task for their crimes.

It should come as no surprise that conservatives, the kowtowing butt-kissing servants to the Rich and Powerful, would seek to minimize, degrade and attack the People. Immediately, the simple position was to rely on the Dirty Stinking Hippie mystique which the Right has been running with for almost 50 years. And of course, many simply fell back on the belief that President Kenyan Marxist Teleprompter Obama is responsible for eveyrthing wrong in the US and that the Republicans War on the Middle Class at the Behest of their Moneyed Masters has never existed.

Andrew "I'm going after education. After the Teachers and Union Organizers Next" Breitbart, the paragon of running with doctored, misleading and outright false videos, has taken on the task of slandering and smearing the OWS. His BigGovernment site has now devoted dozens of his paid minions to blog non-stop about the OccupyChi and other Occupations. His narrative is to declare the OWS in league with Anti-Semitic Neo-Nazi Groups. From Joel Pollack @ Breitbart's BigGovernment website,

Pajamas Media recorded similar, and worse, statements at Occupy LA. The main Occupy demonstration in lower Manhattan has also seen numerous, well-documented examples of explicit antisemitism. That is alarming, given the explicit anti-Jewish hatred on display at Occupy rallies across the country.

Other conservative disinformation sites, The American Spectator for example, have also taken it upon themselves to smear and slander OWS and #Occupy. It's de rigueur for the Right to throw up as many bullshit stories and as many smear jobs as possible knowing, 'All of the people will be fooled some of the time' and 'Some of the people will be fooled all of the time.'

Just as when Republicans rammed through the Iraq War and the Patriot Act, the Rightwing has fallen solidly in line declaring those who oppose the 1% are Anti-American, Anti-Semites, Communists, Socialists, Nazis, Marxists, Terrorist Appeasers, Rawr!!! Anyone who is against the systematic and rampant Wall Street crime and corruption is actually against America. It's what the Right does every time.

But, despite the worst efforts of the Breitbart and his ilk, by an overwhelming majority, the American People know that Wall Street and their wholly owned Republican Party are responsible for the economic calamity. The Top 3 causes of the Republican Depression are:

1) Investment Firms and Banks making Risky Loans and Investments,
2) American Companies not investing in creating jobs in America,
3) The Economic Policies under former President Bush, including tax cuts for the wealthiest families.

So, while we know the attacks by the Rightwing Smear Merchants shall never cease, their hatred for the Working Classes shall never be abated and their defense of their Plutocratic Lords shall never wane... We the 99% will march on.

Update:
Faux News is now solidly behind #Occupy and OWS = Nazis and Anti-Smeites.
