people die all the time...

in the hundreds, and thousands; but if you are brownish and/or poor, than nobody much cares or knows in amerika...

usually (unless a notable or power elite) people dying is not such a big deal...

if the infotainment bidness needs a bump of smack, though, then *any* death -especially of cute white grrlz- can be used for *whatever* purposes the power elites want...

military personnel/mercs, etc are killed fairly regularly all around the globe, most of them don't make the 'news'; it is only when The Powers That Be (tm) want to stir up trouble, encourage and fund coups (*cough*cough*), or perhaps stage a little invasion, that these normally-unreported deaths are used to inflame public attitudes...

...and is your sympathy to neda (and her compadres) based on a reality you know, or on propaganda ? ? ?

are citizen's sympathies being used by the cloven hooved ones in order to effect the overthrow THEY want ? ? ?

...and lib'ruls and other sympathizers are being led down the primrose path to yet another war we 'have to' start...

skip skip skip

it was the daily show where they've repeatedly made the point of how little/nothing we know of 99% of the countries from the mainstream media's 'reporting'...

hee hee hee

but *somehow* we 'know' all sorts of stupid crap (not propaganda ? ya'think ?) about our enemy-of-the-month...

ho ho ho

we don't give a shit about 99% of the elections on the globe (including -if not especially- our own), but we're going to go all revolutionary guard on achmini-bushed-an-election-jhad ? ? ?

ha ha ha

and another front in the global war on terror is opened that 'lib'ruls' (*ptui*) are -you know- reluctantly 'forced' to support and fund...

ak ak ak

oh, did i just hear that the obama budget has MORE military spending than bush EVER proposed ? ? ?

thank you arborjack...

tough love is what stupid, fat, lazy amerikans need, not more feel-good bullshit...

mj made some great pop music, okay, thanks; but his 'legacy' is of a twisted, creepy shell of a human bean who was perverted by family, fame, and fortune...

*AND* the uncritical adulation of millions (not to mention his sycophants he surrounded himself with) who would not or could not get the poor fucker the help he desperately and obviously needed for quite some time...

but, if you are a rich fuck, your weird/sick actions are celebrated as cool eccentricity; only if you are poor, are you judged morally and get your ass kicked in the court of public opinion...

crazy rich person: exotic, eccentric, indulged and funky...

crazy poor person: disgusting, weird, dangerous, and should be put away 'for their own good'...

oh fool, you had me from 'dog damn' ! ! !

yes, Yes, YES ! ! !

hee hee hee

the VERY EXISTENCE of 'executive signing statements' (REGARDLESS of where they came from, who started it, how long they've done it, why they are mostly secret, and other excuses passing for 'reasons') presages the dearth -if not death- of democracy...

ho ho ho

are you kidding me ? ? ? 'executive signing statements' alone are enough to be impeachable offenses against the constitution; IF we bothered to model 'our' (sic) -you know- gummint kinda sorta as if the constitution mattered...

ha ha ha

no, that shit is just another reason it should be impossible for any sentient, semi-objective nekkid ape to recognize a corrupt-to-the-core system, and its kapitalist imperialist agenda which does not work for 90% of us...

ak ak ak

maybe we could import some eye-ranian wimmenz to show us how its done...

only when you give up hope, will you regain hope...

hee hee hee

The System (tm) is broken...

ho ho ho

using the broken system to fix The System (tm) is a fool's errand...

ha ha ha

power NEVER devolves voluntarily...

ak ak ak

only when enough sheeple see the futility of hoping a coopted, corrupted, compromised system will correct itself, will we be able to make any real progress...

twue twue twue

all the rest is running-in-circles bullshit...

run run run

one has not been 'eternally vigilant', has one ? ? ?

hee hee hee

and now the 'checks and balances' are reduced to literal 'checks' and 'balances'...

ho ho ho

circling again to the fundamental question: does the state exist to serve us li'l peeps, or do we exist to serve The State (tm) ? ? ? (better not answer that...)

ha ha ha

just *WHO* is going to 'investigate', 'prosecute', and 'punish' ANY of the neo (nazi) con (artistes) and other domestic evildoers from the bush klavern, etc ? ? ?

NO-FUCKING-ONE

ak ak ak

...and ? ? ?

Obama's exceedingly familiar justifications for escalation

It's almost impossible to find a nation with as many torture advocates as the U.S. has.
