		<description><![CDATA[@Tony - there was the Velvet Revolution, Solidarity, the Singing Revolution and others - but the reason there is no hope for that in USA is because of all the splintering going on....and here&#039;s the cluster f-ck that got together to hang Martha Stewart but won&#039;t touch Jamie-boy - first and foremost was the Gay Boy Real Estate Mafia of Barney Rubble (the Gay Flintstone of Bwall Street) - then the sickest minds on the planet, seriously, in pharma (Nazi science on tilt in that industry- Vidiians r&#039; us), then the ever present Rovian blowhards with mono-syllabic dog whistle calls to get their Gen X drunken hooligans just slapping ALL women left and right just like the Bible says they should, and the FBI dude, and Murdoch Media, and the NEO CONS (she&#039;s Polish)...and the 144,000 guys in search of their own planet as a god....whew - she figured jail was safer - remember, don&#039;t lie to a FBI agent....

But now, a couple of billion dollars in Homeland Insecurity Investment later 

and I wish I could post pictures of how determined these people are to INCREASE unemployment because it is SO EASY now to keep taking it ALL 

they WILL keep the Middle Class GENOCIDE going - it is too easy for them now to take it ALL - look how this blog switched to telling us over and over and over again that it&#039;s an IRON LAW of Depravity - get it - it&#039;s a LAW - still the psychobabble game, it&#039;s a LAW for all you stupid sh-ts who WANT a rule of LAW....this is the LAW now....

But why the hell should we care, right? Here we go - talk about the LAZIEST idea to hold about life! It&#039;s the END of all goodness on 12-12-2012 - so guess what?  Even GOD spent a couple of billion years in order to watch us SUFFER the end of all goodness.  Resistance is FUTILE, Annie.  LOL.

However, I&#039;m serious about needing to get certain genetics all in one place and declaring ourselves an israel-like right-to-exist state - looks like Wisconsin could be the starting point....we&#039;re not going to get the south, west, large parts of midwest, but a lot of Canadians might want the same kind of &quot;right to exist&quot;...every HUMAN BEING has the right to make their lives less miserable through HONEST WORK.....all the rest of the yaddayadda is total bs.  I can&#039;t *experience* any *ism* the way I can experience the generosity of the land - beginning with watching the busy bee do it&#039;s work without a loan from Jamie....

Every war begins with taking the fruit of labor - property and land - so we&#039;re OBVIOUSLY in defense mode - have to pick the spot and the battle...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mucho great commentary on a gripping post.  This nation and the world is replete with honest, intelligent, hardworking, companionate human beings.  Tragically none of this kind are in positions of leadership anywhere on this ill planet, and particularly - here in the land of Oz.  All our socalled leaders political and corporate are fascist compassionless, greedy, reprobates - a den of vipers and thieves devoid of any sense of humanity.    

Most people including me want peace and non-violent change.  History sadly proved however that systemic and brutal tyranny and fascism is NEVER altered peacefully or non violently despite many wise individuals best intentions.  These monsters will not change or alter their tyrannical despotic criminal ways peacefully.  Shades and shaitans of this brood  (predatorclass) must be forcefully confronted, ruthlessly defeated, and excoriated from positions of power.  Peace and non-violence is an impossibility.  Fight fire with fire.  Sadly, there is no other way.

Get stocked, locked, cocked, and ready to rock, because realdeal real horrorshow change - as we&#039;ve witnessed throughout history and most recently in the socalled &quot;Arab Spring&quot; - is bloody.  But change and justice can be won when the masses collate, joins hearts and minds, and DEMAND real change.  History proved this point.

There will be a reckoning and a balancing, and there will be blood.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#039;By the way, thank you for the government source for the labor statistics. Those statistics were created by skilled analysts providing a service that we as taxpayers have chartered them to do. &#039;

Surely you don&#039;t mean to leave the impression that the private sector doesn&#039;t employ statisticians.  Who do you think calculates MLB batting, on-base, slugging, earned run averages?  Or, Las Vegas casino gaming odds.  I wouldn&#039;t even be surprised to find that Jamie Dimon&#039;s firm employs some highly trained analysts.]]></description>

Killing the messenger: Black-balled in Congress
Posted on 2012 June 3 

&quot;If there’s anyone who should be testifying before Congress about the massive toxic dangers of the American financial system, it’s William K. Black, who teaches law and economics at the University of Missouri–Kansas City.

Black was the nation’s chief regulator of the S&amp;L industry and helped prosecute scores of corrupt banksters in the wake of the Reagan-era collapse of the Savings and loan industry.

But after Black booked a flight and a hotel room to testify before a congressional gathering on the dangers of the derivatives trade — those noxious speculative bets that brought down the American financial system after the housing market collapsed — he received word that his presence wasn’t wanted.&quot;

There once was the &quot;ideal&quot; statement in theory that you can not run a government (...a country,...a nation,...a people) like a business.

		<description><![CDATA[The bond man really sees through nothing. Its too easy to tilt the odds in your favor and back with your own law. Since the only thing threatening  you is a halt to the debt ceiling, and even now that goes by the wayside since any president can now override the congress in raising that ceiling. You must want Romney to win so you can see your future in advance, have all the odds in your favor. But trouble awaits you Mr. Bond, its just a matter of time, so enjoy what time you have left, and live each day as if it were to be your last. It will be here sooner than you think and no airplane will arrive to rescue you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obama Re-Defines &quot;Militant&quot; and the Media Eats It Up
To avoid counting civilian deaths, Obama re-defined &quot;militant&quot; to mean &quot;all military-age males in a strike zone&quot;
by Glenn Greenwald 
 http://www.commondreams.org/view/2012/05/29-7 
===========================================
@Paul Handover: Not just relevant...but at the very foundation and essential core of the multi-headed Beast...where discoveries are variables being strategically converted and transformed into independent necessities that are indoctrinating us into TBTF&#039;s;
...a process of insidious normaliztion and what we might call the &quot;Iron Law of Depravity&quot; justified and legitimated by a &quot;Cold Law&quot; mentality by people who are authoritative pyscopaths.....addicted...yes; ...addicted to political economic gambling with our lives.

The process has been happening at least since the killing of JFK and all the POWER $ucce$$ion planning that has been institutionalized control fraud and captured authority above the law.  The violent nature of the New Great Game does not exclude the domestic economy as its victim, and the cognitive dissonance grows thick and deep in the Narrative Apocalypse being peddled to accompany the Empire building and violent regime changes (with only chaos to follow in its path) as these subsequently become easy victims of the new market ownership occupations and strip mining tactics of neo-con profiteering and predatorial bloodletting to any and all extremes as &quot;human value&quot; becomes a class distinction under mass reduction of dignity and monetary devaluation as &quot;USELESS MOUTHS&quot; (http://aolsearcht4.search.aol.com/aol/search?s_it=topsearchbox.search&amp;v_t=webmail-hawaii1-standardaol&amp;q=useless+mouths+wikipedia

...AND ALL THE WHILE THE INSIDIOUS NARRATIVE IS marketed into the social and political consciousness of our children and children&#039;s children as we grow weary with complaint and watch fear hide in the faces of worried complacency and fatigued truth.  We are being made more and more media-militarized in a War dependent economy and an Ownership State that has lost its loyalty to its own mass citizens.  

And each week we grow deeper and thicker in the congealed blood of the past decade...and are fed more thickening agent as we ourselves bleed without surprises any more; once more appalled at what we learn, and once more appeased by the soft war wording of a false fron president with pathological kindness in his voice and eyes...and so we believe..., we believe,...Mea Culpa I can&#039;t help but believe that AMERICA will come to the rescue in all of its promises of global freedom and democracy...despite the fact that my brain tells me otherwise and history confirms what my mind refuses to accept.  Until again,...a  traditional journalist comes forth again to tell us the truth that doesn&#039;t sell on these comfort seeking markets...we are lost against the tide and left helpless and hopeless ...if we buy into the NARRATIVE they concocted across our human worth.  
And yes indeed Paul, it is profoundly relevant!

You mean, before I ask you to provide evidence for your assertion that;

&#039;Many public sector positions are higher trained professional positions with special skill sets, just like the higher trained professionals in many parts of the private sector. And there’s ossification and cronyism of just the sort you describe throughout the private as well as public sectors. Pointless self-serving bureaucracy has no preferred address. &#039;

Ossified private sector organizations can go out of business and take their unproductive people with them.  Does that happen to governments very often?]]></description>
