Welfare State

If you cry about the welfare state here in the USA you better check yourself. Many people i meet love to cry about the welfare state, but they only cry about half of the welfare, the part that goes to low income families for say rent control or food stamps or Medicaid, or to illegals, who people say "are draining our system.

If you listen to these people you are hearing only half or a third of the story. The other two thirds is the welfare that rich people get. Rich people get by far more welfare than the poor. While the rich pay more in taxes they also get a ridiculous amount of write offs. I was just reading yesterday about one government program that gives back 400 billion a year to encourage home buying and business spending, and 40% of this money is given to the richest 1%, clearly uneven distribution toward the top.

But its really no surprise that the story is the told the way it is. That the rich worked hard for theirs, while the poor or sucking the system dry. The story is always told by the winner. Think about it. All the owners and lead anchors for every major news outfit in America is rich. Every Senator and President is rich, and so is most of Congress. So why wouldn't they govern from what they know, the rich. The rich fund their compaigns, and the rich get more beneficial laws passed.

So next time someone tries to feed you garbage about the welfare in this country being out of control yet they only mention the story of those damn poor people on welfare you will know they only have part of the story.

Home burns down, Fireman watch

Have not written in awhile, because its the same old news, the 50 Rich guys that run American and own congress pass laws to funnel more money and power to themselves thus taking it away from all of us, and somehow the public fights of the scraps and yells at the other political party with name calling like your a socialist or your a fascist.

So socialist, everyone calls President Obama a socialist. His damn socialist healthcare. Our damn socialist fire department. Well a town in Tennessee did something about their damn socialist fire department and now the everyone home in town pays a fee to get fire service, no fee no service. Well this played out beautifully this week. Better than any poet could have spoke about, when a home burned down as the fire department stood by and watched. You see the home did not pay their 75$ fire fee, and were thus added to a list of homes the fire department was to not service. So they showed up of course, to protect the homes of the neighbors who paid their fire tax. This is pretty crazy. What if someone died? What if a baby died in that home? Thats OK with everyone? Everyone is cool with this? This is what this town in Tennessee had in mind when they made this law? This sounds like perfect community to raise a warm loving family. Where everyone is on their own. Kids have to learn sooner or later right? We might not be able to provide you with a job, we might not be able to lend you money to go to college, we might not be able to fix your roads or bridges, we might not be able to heal you if you get sick, we might not be able to ensure the safety of your water or food, or anything that you buy, your on your own good luck,

Sincerely
The United States of America

Greg Palast on Ground Zero Mosque

My own view? I don't want a mosque near Ground Zero; I want it right on top of Ground Zero, in the new tower, so when we go down again, we all go together.

Burning the Koran

In honor of the terrorist attack on America on September 11, 2001, by a bunch of terrorists, who falsley claimed to be Muslims, an American preacher would like to burn a Koran, in a ceremony at his Church.I just will never get the logic. They hate us so we are going to hate em back? But terrorists hate us, not Muslims, no matter what fox news entertainment says. All one billion Muslims around the world do not hate us. It's hard for some of you to believe, but its true.

Chris Floyd also makes a great point, that General Petraus has spoke out against the burning of the Koran for fear it will make our troops more vulnerable to attack in foreign lands. Yet the General and his friends never thought about that when they invaded a few countries and laid waste to it, never thought that might incite violence and revenge did ya General? Burning one Koran, no good, killing millions, hey gotta do it.

Bp Oil Spill

From Iraq to Wall Street, to the Tennessee sludge spill, we now have the BP mess in the Gulf. The Pattern is the same. Corporate American attempts to make as much money as possible with little thought or concern for everyone else, Governemt regulators and officials have been sponsored (bought) by Corporate America, so they choose not to regulate or keep CA to any kind of standards, until CA becomes so lax that we have a disaster effecting untold amounts of people with no end in sight.
This time we have gasoline pooring into the Gulf of Mexico, ruining the lives of the fisherman, and heading for a current that could take the oil up the east coast to towards Europe.

Rob Kall makes some great points over at, http://www.opednews.com/articles/Coverup-Govt-Denies-Any-O-by-Rob-Kall-100518-4.html

If this was done by an Arab or Persian this would be an act of terrorism. So why do we treat terrorist acts differently when done by different people.

Wall Street committed a terrorist act in 2008 when the ecomony crashed, the TVA in Tennesse committed a terrorist act when there shotty damn broke and flooded a town with poison.

Just like Howard Stern said in his movie, "a kill is a kill is a kill", a terrorist act is a terrorist act is a terrorist act!"

Also check out Greg Palast, one of the greatest reporters of our time, tells us how the Exxon Valdez spill 20 years ago in Alaska was BP's doing.

Corporate (fill in the blank)

Once again we have a national disaster thanks to the single minded greed of corporations like BP oil to cut corners and not spend extra money on extra layers of safety protocals. And once Again we have a corporate sponsered US Government that does not create reality based safety laws or enforce existing safety laws for fear they will lose their corporate sponser. Just picture Tiger Woods or Kobe Bryant, getting busted for cheating and going on tv to apologize to the fans (corporate sponsers). Tiger and Kobe in this scenario represent 99% of the officials in the US Government, true leadership.
The list continues; Katrina, Housing Market, Wall Street, Gulf Coast,
Lets play the game what cant they f--k up.

"the false narrative that is drummed into every American from birth until it becomes an integral part of their own self-image and their understanding of the outside world: the false narrative of righteous exceptionalism that underpins and "justifies" the monstrous violence of empire. This myth performs a kind of psychic and moral alchemy in the minds of Americans, transmutating the reality of bloodsoaked murder, repression and suffering into benign acts of "liberation" and "humanitarianism."
