The Blackwaterification of Public Education

Billionaire Betsy DeVos, an ardent enemy of public education, was named by illegitimate President-Elect Trump as Education Secretary.

DeVos is part of the Amway Family in Michigan which has been screwing people over with get-rich-quick Ponzi schemes for decades.

Erik Prince the founder of the Blackwater Mercenary Company, is her brother.

Clearly, we are looking at the Blackwaterification of Public Education in the United States similar to how Erik Prince managed to sell expensive mercenaries (independent contractors) to the Department of Defense and US Military under the Junta of George W(orst President Ever) Bush and Dickless Cheney.

In the same way Prince managed to slice out Billions of dollars allocated towards the DoD, billions in US Taxpayer dollars allocated for education are going to be given to DeVos Style Companies to create private schools (indoctrination camps) which select out of teaching poor, minority, mental disabled children and hire non-tenured, financially vulnerable, unprotected mercenary teachers, who know they will have to advance the David Barton lie filled right-wing version of US History, so more Americans can be duped by conservative propaganda, in order to keep their slightly-better than starvation wages jobs. Meanwhile, Public Schools will be kept around to shove all poor and undesirable students into, while receiving less and less funding every year.

The goal is the destruction of the Democratic Republic and the creation of a Neo-Feudal Wage Slave State in which most Americans are serfs with little to offer than their labor which powerful families weigh against the labor of a poor worker in Bangladesh or the Philippines or Central America.

The Blackwaterification of every facet of the federal Government, i.e. The elimination of the social safety net for a new government aligned to protect and advance the interests of the Rich Elite.

This is what the Koch Brothers see as the true state of man and the natural order of the world. A few quasi-aristocratic families controlling the country, with a neutered federal government selected by the Plutocracy and backed by Blackwater Mercs, ready to enforce the will of the 1%.

Update:
Over at the excellent blog Hackwhackers, they have a quote which explicitly details what Plutocratic control is going to mean for 99% of Americans,

So we’ll get public schools shaped by people who’ve never attended one, law and order from people who’ve lived their lives behind security gates, health care from people who have personal physicians, and transportation policy from people who have their own jets. We’ll also get a lot of extra drug testing, reduced wages, and cuts to unemployment—because these billionaires know it’s you working people who are taking more than you’re worth.

Republicans consider the Act of Voting to be Fraud and hate Democracy

It's not that the Republicon Party is actually worried about Voter Fraud it's that they consider the Act of Voting itself to be the fraud and quasi-criminal. Republicons have been fighting to restrict voting and limit election turnout because it aids them and their Owners, the Plutocratic Elite.

Voting has always meant power. Even now with the increasing control of both major parties by the 1%, Republicons and their Plutocratic Overlords hate voting because it means the voter may choose a Government which does not seek to defend through laws and violence the stolen wealth accumulated by the Plutocracy.

Much of this stems from Alexander Hamilton's fear the Demos would rise up and slaughter their Plutocratic Oppressors. The 1% today don't fear the Demos Rising because they have a powerful enough Paramilitary Domestic Army,

"I have my own army in the NYPD, which is the seventh largest army in the world,' NY Tyrant Michael Bloomberg,

supplemented by the likes of BlackWater if need be.

What the 1% fear today is the 99%. This why the evolving OWS and #Occupy Movement has so angered the Rich, it may hamper the crooked gambling system known as "American Capitalism" which funnels TRILLIONS in stolen loot to them.

Republicons, however, are always engaged in repackaging their Theft and Transfer of Wealth under new slogans and are constantly pushing the ACORN/New Black Panther/Rampant Minority Voting Fraud lies. They know by lying they can push laws which restrict access to Universal Suffrage. Republicons first service to their Moneyed Masters is keeping people away from the voting booth.

The 1% sees the Univseral Suffrage as an affront to their Natural Rights. Since the founding of the Nation the 1% believe the Govenment should represent them exclusively.

"The People who own this Country Ought to Govern It." - John Jay.

To the 1% Government exists only to provide a framework for business cooperation, to defend Businesses from foreign invaders, create a extensive structured framework to quell and quash domestic dissent and create a massive military to open up Markets for Business to explore and exploit abroad. To the 1%, anything else done by Government is "Un-American" and "Unconstitutional".

"The 80,000 is a net number. The private sector created 104,000 jobs. The public sector happily shrank by 24,000 jobs. Both of that’s good." - George Will cheered when Americans lose their jobs, because Government workers not helping Private Businesses steal money or kill people are unconstitutional.

Matthew Vadum at The American Thinker clearly enunciated the conservative view of Democracy in his article, Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American.

Because they know the poor can be counted on to vote themselves more benefits by electing redistributionist politicians. Welfare recipients are particularly open to demagoguery and bribery. Registering them to vote is like handing out burglary tools to criminals. It is profoundly antisocial and un-American...

This is what the 1% thinks of Voting.

Paul Ryan's Deathcare Plan is designed to eliminate Medicare and Medicaid and would serve up the least powerful Americans like a trussed-pig to business interests by getting government out of providing healthcare to the sick, the old, the indigent. At the basis of his Paul Ryan's Plan is the squeezing of eveyr last dollar from those with little hope before allowing them to die.

Republicon Mike Lee of Utah is one of the scummiest sychophants serving today. Mike Lee preceded Newt Gingrich in calling Child Labor laws Unconstitutional and routinely made pro-child exploitation videos on his youtube channel. Lee purposefully used his Senate Office to sabotage the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), because the CFPB is designed to stop the rampant corruption by the Richest 1%. Lee's constant fall back is to call everything he opposes Unconstitutional, which according to Lee's leash holders it is because it hampers their crimes.

The 1% don't see the ridiculous bloated DoD contracts as welfare, they don't see subsidies for Oil Companies as theft, they don't believe Corporations negative tax rates, meaning they made more after taxes than before they paid those taxes, is wrong.

The 1% think they are the Neo-Feudalist Lords. Trillions belong to them by the mere fact of who they are. Wealth and Power are theirs by Right. Anything which gets in their way is axiomatically wrong and needs be fought by their Guards and Defenders.

Merry Xmas the Iraq War is Over... Again

So, this is Christmas?

Mission Accomplished: "Major Combat Operations in Iraq have ended." - 05/01/2003

"Bring'em On!" - 07/02/2003

"They're in the Last Throes" - 06/20/2005

Saddam's Death - 12/30/2006

Right Wing Victory in Iraq Day - 11/22/2008

Conservatives have been declaring the Iraq War Over for years. When they thought it benefited them. Now, that the President is named Obama the Right has flip-flopped to calling the Iraq War "Lost".

Of course, it mainly stems from the alternate history the modern conservative movement has adopted. History is malleable to Right, if it's convenient to ignore the entire George W. Bush Presidency, the Right has shown themselves up to the task!

The Iraq "War" is over, finally. It was of no benefit to the US. It wasn't worth $1 let alone One Life! But, it was priceless for the Republicons.

The Republican Party used the War to win elections. That's the only winning the GOP ever really cared about. Even now Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum lament the loss of the war because they think it can help Republicans in 2012.

The GOP are the same as Saddam's Iraqi Republican Guard. They used War and violence to quell domestic dissent and steal Trillions of dollars from the American People. Because (Blackwater)(Xe)(Academi), Halliburton, Boeing, and the hundreds of Welfare DoD connected Corporations are the only ones who really benefited from this shameful debacle.

Mitt Romney and the Republicans are equivalent to Saddam's Republican Guard

Democratic Illinois Senator Dick Durbin tried to pass an Amendment to S. 1867 the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2012. The Amendment was defeated 38-60. The Amendment was to stop the bill's proposal to declare the United States a battleground in the Phony GWoT. 43 Republicans voted against the Amendment. That is they voted to keep the language in the Bill which allows the US military to indefinitely detain suspected Al Qaeda members and anyone else the Government deems an "enemy combatant".

And here you thought the Bush/Cheney Torture/Extraordinary Rendition/With-Us-Or-Against-Us language would only apply to them damn Terrorists.

Welcome to the Republican Vision of Freedom. Too bad you didn't listen to the Leftists and Anti-War crowd when they raised the alarm about the most corrupt, most anti-American Administration and then choose to blame it on the black guy. The Republican Party is equivalent to Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard. Only 2 Republican Senators, Mark Kirk and Rand Paul, chose to stand for the US Constitution and Freedom.

What's next in the Republican Plan of Attack; a Bill entitled House-a-Soldier in Your Home to help offset the Budgetary costs of the DoD?

Because that's what Mitt Romney advocated in a speech less than a month ago. Romney declared he would eliminate Medicaid;

"And I would apply the $600 billion [in cuts] that were anticipated being imposed upon the military, I would take those and apply them to other parts of the federal budget. One of them, of course, would be to take something like Medicaid, which is our health care program for the poor, and return that program to the states."

Of course, now we can see why the Republicans are in favor of declaring the United States a war zone. After they steal Social Security, eliminate health care for the poor, stop funding Pell Grants, and impose Slavery Measures err... "Austerity" Measures on the American People they are going to need the military to quell the Domestic disturbances they are engendering.

Of course, even if the Republican Plan to use the US Military to quell Domestic disturbances falls through Blackwater (Xe) and Erik Prince have made it clear they will eliminate Democratic Opposition to the Republican Guard. Erik Prince, now hailing from parts unknown, let it be known he would "eliminate" Jan Schakowsky for her daring to question his Mercenary Army and the Billions Blackwater stole through no-bid contracts pushed through by the Bush/Cheney Presidency.

So, get used to America. The Plutocracy wants the Middle Class destroyed and the Republicans are the just like Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard ready, willing, and able to accomplish the mission.

Is it in the heart or in the head

If you're not liberal when you're under 30 you have no heart, if you're not conservative blah blah blah ~ Winston Bloody Churchill

I was asked if I voted with my heart or my head this election. I replied if I had voted with my head I would have voted for Ralph Nader, but I voted with my heart and choose Barack Obama.

I really wanted to vote for Brian Patrick Moore the real Socialist running for President, but Illinois didn't allow the Socialists ballot access.

This is the first time I've managed to vote for the winner of a presidential election.

Sadly, I have to admit Sean Hannity was absolutely correct. Being in Illinois, following the pick of Rahm Emanuel for Chief of Staff, I have learned Obama has contacted Louis Farrahkan to supply young men for the creation of the OKIS (Obama koranic Imposition Squads). Blackwater has been contracted to provide training to the OKIS, who will liason on with local Illinois law enforcement in forced conversations and the placement of korans (with GPS trackers) which must be placed in the living rooms of every American. Incidentally these korans must be shown to a police officer upon demand.

Who could have known!

Adopt-a-sniper

To begin with I'm not mad an organization like American Snipers exist, men in harms way do need equipment. But, doesn't it strike anyone as odd that members of the military, in an MOS which would be key to winning the "War on Terror" need civilians to buy them gear?

Couldn't some of the $100 Billion the Warfare Government acquired from the American taxpayer have gone for that equipment?

Oh that's right those monies need to go to the coffers of Erik Prince and his happy-go-lucky band called Blackwater!

When are the American people going to realize the War on Iraq is about money? Since the beginning of the Reign of Bush II, Trillions have been funnelled to the coffers of those invested in the Warfare State.

What's worse is the Warfare State has deluded enough people into thinking the money being paid to them via government bases and weapons manufacturing is somehow mana from heaven.

For example: Joe Lieberman ran ads for his 2006 re-election campaign based on the fact he saved the New London sub base from BRAC.

Because everyone knows if there's one thing Al Qaeda fears it's our Los Angeles Class attack submarines...
