EGADS! Abramoff Rip-off on LINKtv Now..Bill Moyers
10.30.06 (2:30 pm)   [edit]
I'm watching a program hosted by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! on LinkTV , Cable Channel 375. Goodman is interviewing Bill Moyers on the Jack Abramoff scandal. It's amazing the information that's not being reported by the MSM on this story. But, then again, I guess if Christians who were mesmerized by another player in the scandal, Ralph Reed, knew what he was up to there might have been a riot. Bill Moyers is doing a 3-part series for PBS (Wednesday night coming) on Capitol Crime.
I just discovered LinkTV today and I'll probably go back to it again - as well as the Democracy Now! website.
 
 
 
 
Edited to add that the website Democracy Now! is providing a rush transcript of this interview now.

Halloweaned

There's nothing hallowed
about this day,
unless
druidism is your Way?
More's the wayward mind
wide-eyed drunk,
shriveled and shrunken
talking heads,
spiked -
like an olive on a tooth
pick,
on wrought iron wills.

Cats gutted & strung up,
charred -
for the fun of it,
mores lost
to treatful days
long past,
a loaded bag
thrown
up on granma's porch,
a trick
too common
to make a stink.

By today's standards,
it's no teen with a match
sans malice -
it's your 7 year old -
stealing daddy's torch
with a bead on
your head!

What used to be good
old-fashioned mischief
has turned evil eye -
now life imitates art.

Mom says
"don't let your imagination
run wild with you tonight,
my little preciousssssessss,

don't!
run amok
out of control."

And,

isn't it just like man
to kill,
when a boo will do?

Rush to Globalism.. Towards a North American Union
10.26.06 (7:09 am)   [edit]

An article entitled "Toward a North American Union," published in The August Review: Gobal Elite Research Center is one of the most informative that I've run across to date. 

 "This paper does not pretend to give thorough or even complete coverage to such important and wide-ranging topics as discussed above. We have shown that the restructuring of the United States has been accomplished by a very small group of powerful global elitists as represented by members of the Trilateral Commission."

The credo of The August Review is "Follow the money, follow the power."

The North American Union 'matrix'
10.26.06 (6:49 am)   [edit]

A timeline of the MEX-CAN-USA merger by Steven Yates, Ph.D. who believes illegal aliens are colonizing America because the super-elite wants them here. 

Dr. Steven Yates writes about "taking the red pill" in his 7 part series entitled The Real Matrix.

 

"To paraphrase what Trinity told Neo in their initial conversation, the answers are out there, and will find you if you want them to. Or, you can find them, if you go looking."

ROLLING STONE: WORST CONGRESS EVER - GOT TO GO!
10.26.06 (6:21 am)   [edit]

..according to Rolling Stone, and "how this Congress hijacked the national treasury, frantically ceded power to the executive, and sold off the federal .government in a private aution," all this in 5 easy steps, that Rolling Stone has laid out as:

  1. Rule by Cabal
  2. Work as Little as Possible - And Screw Up What Little You Do
  3. Let the President Do Whatever He Wants
  4. Spend, Spend, Spend
  5. Line Your Own Pockets

Before reading this rather long article, I suggest slipping your nitroglycerin under your tongue, or getting that scotch on the rocks, straight and neat.  

Rolling Stone goes on to List the 10 Worst Congressmen as:

  1. Dennis Hastert (R-ILL) - The Highway Robber
  2. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R-Wis) - The Dictator
  3. Don Young (R-ALASKA) - Mr. Pork
  4. William Jefferson (D-LA) - The Bribe Taker
  5. Jerry Lewis (R-CA) - The King of Payoffs
  6. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) - Mr. Bigotry
  7. Dick Pombo (R-CA) - Enemy of the Earth
  8. Curt Weldon (R-PA) - The Conspiracy Nut
  9. Hal Rogers (R-KY) - Bin Laden's Best Friend
  10. Marilyn Musgrave (R-CO) - The Christian Soldier

How could you!

How could you
say,
you are so sensitive!
ExTREmely sensitive
to the feelings
of others -
when You
cause me
such EXquisite pain?!

Don't you know
the acts and deeds
done through love
infuse the soul?

Can't you see
mere words
of love only appease
the mind -
and seldom convince
the heart..?

Sensitive my ass!

Weary on a Mind Quest
10.22.06 (4:14 pm)   [edit]

 

I hear you
cry out
in the wilderness,
your need to be alone -
trapped within your mind
and reeling
somersaults,
no will to roam..

you cry out
in your bewilderness!
NO! No! Not yet! I'm healing..

enter quietly..

..let the pain subside inside
this mind that has no walls
to keep conflicting worlds apart,
or demons -
fading art -
or loss.

A budding beam of precious light
cuts through my mind with speed
too bright!
and moves too swiftly
though dark Hades night,
too swift to light all fears which cling -
too swift to stay the hope it brings -

One must tip-toe through mind's labyrinth
until a power on feet with wings -
ignites my soul and builds in strength,
to slash-and-burn this hidden hell!
'til then..

I walk in mental chains..

and dodge mind shadows.

I hear you!
bewilderness embraced!
You need to be alone -
to rest soul's endless quest for calm -
to search your mind and put to test..

Is not a dream
this dreadful thing?
Is not a dream
that's left me reeling?
Has God left me so
to ponder long
His sacred Scriptures or Psalm's song?

Will He awaken me once more again
to live in His power
put soul to wing?
Put to sleep this sleepless hour?
Bring both Life and Soul that sing..?

I hear you cry out!
I swear..

He hears!

Top Ten Things the NWO Missed..
10.22.06 (12:58 pm)   [edit]

Author unknown

Dear NWO:

TOP TEN THINGS YOU FORGOT WHEN PLANNING THE WORLD TAKEOVER

Number 10 - There are more than a million of us for each one of you, and we don't really like you very much- because you keep trying to kill us.

Number 9 - We know how desperate you are to appear like you are actually still in control of the situation.

Number 8 - Despite many years of effort on your part to stamp us out, we are *ahem* still here, and growing exponentially.

Number 7 - We can dramatically reduce the effectiveness of your multi- million-dollar EMF mind control technology with 25-cent devices that a ten year old kid can build.

Number 6 - Your system is not sustainable. We sometimes enjoy watching the contortions you go through trying to keep it up and running, but lately we are getting hungry and that makes our BS detectors more active.

Number 5 - Everything you have depends entirely on us, since you guys usually can't even locate the 'on' switch. So, even if you push 'the button,' WE still have to push SEVERAL THOUSAND MORE buttons in order for anything to happen. Most likely, when you tell us to 'look sharp,' we will just crack a beer and fart.

Number 4 - In order for people to be good zombies, they have to be fully aware of what you are doing, in order to successfully pretend they don't know.

Number 3 - Punishment loses its effectiveness with overuse, and you are WAAAY past the point of overuse.

Number 2 - Nobody actually believes clouds are long straight lines that come out of airplanes.

Number 1 - There is a God. (see universe for reference.)

WARNING! GRAPHIC!
10.21.06 (6:05 am)   [edit]

 

I just have to get this off my chest.  I've been fuming since yesterday and couldn't bring myself to post this last night because I wasn't sure how to express my rage over this news story.  I warn you to skip this post if you're easily offended. 

The news item goes like this.  A mentally disabled young man in Yaphank, NY, was brutally, sexually violated with a plumbing snake, after two teenagers attacked him in a bowling alley bathroom where he worked.  One of the attackers who had been bullying the mentally disabled handyman, twisted the plumbing tool so far into the rectum that it had to be surgically removed.  The young man is apprently in stable condition after surgery.  The article says the perpetrators were teenagers, but they were 17 and 19 years of age, just a few years younger than their victim.   

I have to tell you it is a good thing those 2 teenagers were not in the same room with me last night because I don't know what I would have done to both of them - perhaps snap their necks - I just don't know.  But I'm furious that their sadistic, brutal attack affected me that way.  I was close to tears several times while reading about it and then afterwards when daring to think of the actual experience for the disabled young man. 

Who spawns this type of subhuman, anyway?  And how many are there - out there -  like these 2 teenagers who, in my opinion, are less than civilized?  It seems to me that I read more and more of these types of heinous acts on a regular basis.  What comes immediately to my mind is the sick individual who is capable of cutting a pregnant woman's belly wide open to extract the newborn to claim as their own and then kill the mother or leave her for dead.  Or, news items concerning deranged individuals capable of killing and dismembering a   victim? What the hell has gone wrong in our society that these types of people are becoming more c ommonplace?

I start thinking about some of our illustrious leaders who have recently been exposed for their depraved sexual predilections involving brutal acts against children and I shudder at the thought that there might be something to the idea that our leaders reflect the general population.   We have so much crime, corruption, and sexual depravity in our leaders today and I  won der where it all began.

Is it just possible that we, as a society, have taken "political correctness" too far?  If so, where did it originate?  My guess is in the '60's when the American Psychiatric Association decided to stop treating sexual deviancy as a mental illness and instead chose to call it an "alternative lifestyle" ignoring other important aspects of sexual deviancy and homosexuality (see "Psychopat hia Sexualis" of von Kraft-Ebling).  Just as we would not ignore traits and characteristics of borderline personality disorder, we likewise ought not to dismiss all the aspects that go along with homosexuality and sexual deviancy.  I think we made a wrong turn when we decided to ignore some of the abnormal tendencies engendered in human sexuality and as a result of this, we have a larger number of deviants who go untreated in our society.  Some sexual deviancy has as a proponent, violence, narcissism, sadism, masochism, etc., and to ignore these characteristics in order to be "politically correct" does not make them go away.  And I think you end up with no controls on any kind of behaviors associated with deviancy in the general population.  To ignore personality disorders and tendencies associated with sexual deviancy is to sanction walking timebombs, in my opinion.  I think if we can't have a healthy discussion about abnormalities inherent in the general population, we let deviancy assume an air of "normalcy" which, in fact, is pathology that will continue to be harder to detect and/or treated.  Afterall, one has to know what's considered abnormal in order to compare it with what's in hand.  And I don't think there's enough discussion in the public arena about these things for fear of being labeled "politically incorrect" - as if everyone should be considered "normal" even when there's evidence to the contrary.  I think it goes without saying that noone wants to be labeled "abnormal" but even the mentally ill know when they've overstepped the bounds placed on them in group settings and are held accountable for their actions despite their mental disabilities.   

If children aren't taught what's expected of them in a civilized society, they will keep testing the boundaries; however,  parents   themselves, need to know what is and is not "acceptable" in order to teach their kids.  We need to know what's considered "right" and "wrong" in a civilized society.   What is and is not normal civilized behavior.   That many deviations from "normal" behavior can be corrected when caught early in a child's development.  

I find myself getting angrier at parents who don't take the time to inform themselves about what makes a "good" parent and a "good" child; that its beneficial to society to be civilized, to respect themselves and others and have reverence for all Life.  It makes me wonder when, why and how these two teenagers became such depraved people capable of inflicting such a brutal, torturous act on another human being.  What happened to their conscience?  Did they ever have one?  And how many are out there just like them?

What can we do as a People to reinstate honorable values back into a society that has so many pockets of depravity and cruelty?

Why am I angry enough to spit nails and want to walk away in disgust?

If I've offended anyone with my own opinions, it isn't my intent to do so.  I just have a hard time with acts of such brutality especially by young people.  I have a heavy heart right now, and I'm searching to make some sense out of our present national condition.  Afterall, we're all in this together.  I think it's going to take a considerable effort by all of us to change direction in this country.  It starts with Me and You, my friend.

SOMETHING BIG............er..maybe?
10.20.06 (6:30 pm)   [edit]

When I read a headline like, House committee dismisses bulk of investigative division, in the USA Today (Oct. 19), I take notice.  Then, I have to ask, "why?  Why would ~60 of an investigative unit be dismissed, dissed if you will, just before election time?"  The House Appropriations Committee, chaired by Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-CA, launched an investigation into where $62 billion federal dollars went for Hurricane Katrina relief, but now the committee has dismissed the 60 private contractors doing the investigation.  Hmmm..?

My question is: were the investigators dismissed because the Republican-controlled committee was worried that outside investigators were investigating the committees need for so many investigators investigating what the federal relief package totalling $62 billion went for, seeing as we're a few weeks from elections and the Repugnicans didn't want to look bad ( -oo- ), or were the investigators dismissed because they were coming up with fraud and corruption done by Repugnicans? 

I say, it's worth, yah, investigating!

Don't Let Up On Ousting Hastert and Others..
10.15.06 (4:13 am)   [edit]

This is too important to leave to others to carry out.  We all must do our part in demanding Speaker of the House Hastert's resignation by calling the White House, 202-456-1414, your Representatives and Senators, calling your local newspapers, radio stations, writing letters to the editors, and your congressmen.   Call the Vice President, 202-456-7549, ask him to throw out Hastert, then Rumsfeld, and then himself.  Tell them you want a purge of our hallowed halls of Congress. 

If you want a different direction for America - you need to do your part!
Even if it's just one phone call. 

One Individual, One Call, One Nation, Under Good, Once & For All !

EGADS! Was Neo-Cons, Now Neo-Gnatzi's..
10.15.06 (3:09 am)   [edit]

Up to my old habits..  sleuthing the 'net at night.   I came upon a bloggish website called Alternet and an article caught my eye.  (The fact it was the 1st item at the top had nothing to do with it *snort* )  First off, I should mention it's another one of those America is fascist articles -which I usually gloss over because I never see anything new.  However, because I've read a thing or two by Stan Goff, I stopped to scan his words.  Goff is no slouch when it comes to original ideas or presenting things in a new way.  I hope you'll take more than a quick look at this one, cuz I feel something in the air.  And I know *I* don't want to be caught being a "good German" sometime down the road - when now is the time for action.

Ha! Reminds me of the old days when I was given the moniker SleuthHound.

UNBELIEVABLE!! heh BUT MAKES SENSE!
10.13.06 (7:19 pm)   [edit]

This is as good as it gets.

Want to know why we can't understand the sometimes crazy, nonsensical and irrational decisions and policies coming from some of our Illustrious Leaders !!?! 

Well, it's because ~135 government workers including White House Staff Member and National Security Agency employees bought bogus online college degrees from a diploma mill. 

Here and here.

Can you say

READ THIS, OR ELSE!
10.13.06 (6:10 pm)   [edit]

When I finished reading Fred Reed's commentary over at Lew Rockwell's, I knew things weren't right, overall.  (BTW, Rockwell has an interesting lineup of columnists; David H. Hackworth, Frank Rich, James Bovard, Jimmy Breslin, Joseph Sobran, Thomas Sowell, John Lott, Richard Cohen, Wendy McElroy, Walter Williams, Tom Engelhardt, Chris Floyd, Rep. Ron Paul, and John Pilger, just to name a few ;) I've been reading Reed since he was a police reporter writing for the Washington Post & Washington Times years ago.  If you aren't familiar with Fred Reed, I'm happy to provide a link to Fred On Everything (FOE, heh heh).  Now I admit Fred Reed is a bit eccentric, brash, blended with a large dose of bold, but one can get around this somehow to see the gems in his verbiage, from time-to-time.  I look at Fred as the poor man's Hunter Thompson.  Anyway, he wrote a velly insterresting article on how he thinks things are going for us and I'd be interested in what you think after reading his commentary.  He can also be found over on The Radical Academy where he sometimes hangs his pis hat.   It ought to be obvious, but I'll state it here anyway; I don't necessary condone everything on websites that I link to here on PopUpCommontater.  I like to mixed it up so I can glean a better picture of what's going on in our collective heads on the Web, and there's a number of sites I peek into every now and then that may be considered, ah, wee,,  bit radi over-the-top shall we say?  (tricksy titters)

I also went to see what's going on over at TheAgitator.com, a blog that reports on what Radley Balko sees as excessive force by our 'friends-for-protection-g one-mil' as he sees a rise in non-conformance of standard procedures and we all know that mistakes that leave dead behind is a sting gone wrong.  What I find most interesting, however, is his recent change in the LibertyMeter on his site. This blogger is a policy analyst at the Cato Institute whose interests include vice and civil liberties, sex and violence in the media, free trade and globalization. 

I guarantee you, between these 2 websites, you ought to be thoroughly entertained :) or, I'm sure you'll let me know you weren't, right?

If I'd been asked to come up with an acronym for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism ACT, I'd have come up with something decidedly different:  

 

U = Using
S = Senile
A = Adult

P = Perps or Panderers (toss-up between)
A = Agilely
T = Tooling
R = Right-minded
I = Individuals into
O = On-going
T = Terrorism

A = Activating
C = Continual
T = Terrorism

VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE..
10.10.06 (11:26 pm)   [edit]

One thing we can agree on when discussing the political arena is that most political pundits believe our nation is divided about equally between the two partys, Republican & Democrat. It’s also been written that the 4th branch of .government, which is widely known as Lobbyists, have most politicians in their pockets. We can take it further and say most lobbyists represent corporations, organizations, interest groups, etc. So, with this as our starting point, I ask you a question: Who’s lobbying for us? We the People?   Who do you think your “lobbyists” are, and why? As to "why," examples could be honesty, integrity, does works among the people, hands-on politician who isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty, go the extra mile, one of us, Walks the Talk, etc.

I personally have come to the conclusion that neither Republicans nor Democrats represent me anymore, and, quite frankly, most of the other partys available to elect aren’t strong enough or have the numbers necessary behind them to gender more interest, or be affective in Congress because of their small member numbers. Before the last two election cycles, this put me in a quandary. After much thought I decided to vote Libertarian, because I couldn’t in good conscience vote the lesser of two evils anymore. People around me were surprised because I’d been a card-carrying Republican and had, in what they whispered “straying from the Party now and then,” but eventually accepted my independence, taking into consideration my level-headedness, social causes, activism, etc.

Now, if you believe that one person can change the course of history for good, think of what millions can do?

In doing some research recently in my quest to pick the Party that most closely matches my own principles, I came across the Independent American Party homepage and while perusing the site I came across a page entitled Important Principles, Enlightening Ideas and Information that I’m happy to provide a link to it. It made me think, as well as, reinforce what I believe is important to consider when voting for those who will act as my Advocate, Guardian and Preserver of My Rights. So, with their principles jiving with my own, and how I feel about the recently passed Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Tterrorismm, I’ve decided this is my starting point from which I will measure whoever runs for election, regardless of party affiliation or personality.

Will you please also consider straying from the party you’re wedded to in order to pick people with principles that cover all people?

ALL FIREFIGHTERS - THANK YOU!
10.09.06 (1:49 am)   [edit]

Today, while standing in line at our local Cold Stone Creamery ice cream shoppe, I noticed a fella wearing a T-shirt covered by faces of firefighters and equipment they use to put out fires.  I walked over to the fella and asked him if *he* was a firefighter because I noticed his T-shirt.  He said, "why, yes, I'm with the Loudoun County (Virginia) unit."  I looked him straight in the eye and said, "thank you, sir, on behalf of.. of..  everyone here, thank you for all you do for this community and for putting your life on the line by coming to our rescue and putting out fires and saving lives. It takes a very special kind of person to willfully do this for strangers. I didn't realize that your equipment weighs 70-100 lbs. and it truly amazes me that you can move as fast as you do fully equipped.  And, hey, is your suit sorta like that Coolmax stuff that keeps people cool in the summer heat?"  He laughed and said, "no, it's hotter than the dickins!  And, we manage all the equipment because Loudoun County makes exercise mandatory to keep us in shape."  We chatted for about a minute more, until my medium-sized cup of Berry Berry Berry Good ice cream was handed to me.  I said thanks again to the young fella before putting the ice cream into my face.  MMMMmmmm.... aaaahhhhh, too too good.

To all firefighters who may be reading this, thank you, thank you, thank you, for everything you do to help the people in your communities.  I don't think you get enough accolades for the kind of risks you're willing to take for virtual strangers, each and every day.  You never know exactly what you may face while fighting fires or the injuries you may incur while on the job.  So, thanks from the bottom of my heart to you and your family who also face the unknown due to your jobs! You're still America's BEST!

HASTERT Haster-GO!
10.07.06 (5:11 am)   [edit]

 RESPONSIBILITY vs. ACCOUNTABILITY

This is the way it must go - no more avoiding the issue that pedophilia may hold bastion in the political arena of both party's and is worth investigating and, if found to be present and/or persistentbe irradicated from our  congressional halls.  We must face the music and tackle this disgraceful predilection of some of our elected members that represent you and me.  We do have a dog in this fight.  We elect our representatives to represent us, We the People, with the belief they have presented themselves to us in honesty and integrity; and if found to not represent our values, the consequence ought to be immediate mandatory removal.  No ifs, ands or buts, no exceptions, no excuses, no domestic survelliance which includes and puts our congessional members at risk for bribery and blackmail, resulting in coersion to do the bidding of others in forming policy, oversight and the power to convict those who are guiltless but nevertheless are condemned to banishment in some hole in the ground, to never be able to seek redress, judicial review or release, according to the laws put in place Today. 

We have painted ourselves into a corner for a promise of safety and security that no .government or administration can guarantee, because evil slips like water through the cracks of human decency, physical barriers, scrutiny, and the laws of the land.  It operates like a mist hovering in the shadows and moving furtively across the land.  The only defense against evil is to gather together and seek common ground to shore up our moral and spiritual values, with the determination to harm no one, to protect our nation against enemies foreign and domestic.  We have, by virtue of the laws recently passed, given the .government tools in which to silence people who want to dig deeper into the allegations of pedophilia running rampant in our .gov & society.  If top lawmakers of our country are pedophiles in charge of organizations meant to protect children, what does that say about the sincerity of the laws they pass?  

It's not good enough to feign responsibility for lack of oversight or inaction over something as hedious as irreparable harm to our children who are our future leaders; deviate from normalcy and time-worn traditional values and this will only result in producing deviates from normal behavior.  This leaves us with people-in-charge who do not have our best interests in mind.  It's not good enough for Speaker of the House Denny Hastert to announce, after days of changing stories - as to who, what, where and when - he takes full responsibility but refuses to resign his position.  Who the heck does he think he works for?  He works for us.  It's time to insist that responsibility and accountability go hand-in-hand.  If our public servants fail in their responsibilities, then they are accountable to us, and the consequence is their removal from a job of public trust.  Period. 

House Speaker Hastert knew about Rep. Mark Foley's predilections for pedophilia long before it became public and chos e to handle it the way he did.  He chose a wrong and ineffective way to deal with this problem.  He's responsible for wrong actions, accountable to us and calls for his resignation/removal should be carried out.  Now.   The same goes for anyone involved in the practice of pedophilia/child/young adult molestation in our .government.  Out.  No quick-thinking plea of alcoholism or having been molested as a child, as well.  Especially if you decline to reveal the abuser, even privately to investigators, else we suspect its validity.  We have our children to think of and protect from predators. 

Lastly, but certainly not least, I'll never, never, never, never, never, ever understand the adult mind that can put aside all human decency in order to rationalize putting a precious child through the hell they will live with for the rest of their lives.  There ought to be a special place in hell for such people.

FOLEY'S FOLLY..
10.07.06 (12:20 am)   [edit]

 

Ummm..  this is a tough one, ain't it?  Where to begin?  Part of me says I need to puke first and get that outta the way.  Ummm..  then..  well..  I oughta take a shower..  pat my butt with talcum powder..    have some pablum.   Ummm, if I can keep it down.  Probably should give ol' Shep a few reassuring pats on his head and roll over..  laughing..  with my arms and legs up in the air.   Hahahahahahaha, Shep, my diggie doggie, stop licking my face..  get your tongue out my eye...I MEAN IT!  Hmmm..  I'm ready for another cup of coffee..   I'll crawl out on the porch and probably want to puke off the side if I don't get myself together here.  Damn, I just feel so weirded out.  I mean, I took a look at that Foley freak last night..  sitting between Mommy and Daddy watching TV..  I mean, that guy doesn't make me feel too happy to see him..  at all.  He looks like an ancient boulder that should sit out over there..    on the edge of that old precipice on Johnson's farm.   I'd like to watch him staring down over the edge..    see his knees turn weak..   see him trembling..  as he looks over the edge and measures the distance down..  down..  down... letting the thought sink in..   I can't fly..  as he looks around back of him..    terrified..     as the large mass moves towards him..

His smile gives me the creeps.  Knowing what's behind it.  Must be hard smiling and feeling too happy to see me..  at the same time.   Ummm..  I'm thinking what it would feel like standing right next to him, looking right at his knee cap..   then up.. and see that huge man..  looks like a tree to me..  gosh I wonder what it would feel like falling on me..  and I'm stuck under it and can't wiggle out..

Oh wow.  I must have been daydreaming or something.   I don't feel too good.  Ha!  There he is again on TV again!  Look!  Him and that creepy smile.   They say he was a big wig on some House Cockus on Missing and Exploited Children.  Huh!  Why would our politrickshins let him be on a committee when he does nasty things with us little kids? 

I heard Mommy say to Daddy this morning that all the people that's supposed to be looking out and watching over chittysins don't care if a tree falls on me.    & nbsp;

Hmmm..  I'm a little kid, but I think maybe they just aren't presenting it in a way that strikes home.

With Elections So Close..
10.06.06 (2:56 am)   [edit]

With the November elections just weeks away, I feel it prudent to write about the Diebold lawsuit that's not being covered by the MSM.  In July, the law firm of Robert f. Kennedy, Jr. filed a "qui tam" lawsuit in U.S. District Court alleging that Diebold and other electronic voting machine (EVM) companies were hack-proof.  They're not and it can be proven, according to those bringing suit, by witnesses "centrally located, deep within the corporations," who will confirm that company officials withheld information with problems of accuracy, security of EVMs, and reliability in order to procure .government contracts.  This lawsuit could cost Diebold a billion dollars.   

From the article, "Qui tam lawsuits stem from a provision in the Civil False Claims Act, which Congress passed in 1863 at the behest of President Abraham Lincoln to respond to price gouging, use of defective products and substitution of inferior material by contractors supplying the Union Army.  The provision allows private citizens to file suit in the name of the U.S. .gov charging fraud by .gov contractors and other entities that receive or use .gov funds."

This is just another example of the corruption running rampant in corporate America.  The allegations of fraud in the 2000 and 2004 cycles is slowly coming to light, although I don't think this lawsuit will be resolved by Election Day, which is a crying shame!  It's up to us to put a stop to the nonsense going on in the .gov/political arenas!  It always comes down to individuals.

Whoa! PuC's Back... But Where To Start..
10.06.06 (1:13 am)   [edit]

..probably by apologizing for the numerous spelling mistakes I'm bound to make the longer I write.  Maybe you've veen wondering where I be?  Welll, it's like this:  My left hand is basically as useless as a limp fish dead on the beach.  So it's going to be difficult to post and take a while longer than I'm used to.  Okay, so we got the limp left fish hand and the right had rebeling, moaning and groaing about some kinda osteoarthritisy-thingee.  Excuses, excuses, excuses.  So basically I'm about as useless as a chimp riding a crocheted bicycle.  Pinched nerve and some kind of entrapment of the left arm, affecting my hand. 

Enough of that crap.  On to more interesting and important topics, the first of which will be an update on my on-going coverage of the North American Union.   As we now know, the,

"globalists of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico were making their way quietly, quietly, to Banff, Alberta for the North American Forum held at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel Sept. 12–14. The meeting was closed-doors. (Now, that's a switch.  :< ) According to some reports buses with attendees were arriving at night. There was no print media coverage in the U.S. and very little in Canada; I was able to download an article from the Toronto-based Star. Those who do not get their news from the Internet remain in the dark about one of the biggest unfolding events of the present decade: the globalist social engineering of a North American Union. "

Guest keynote speaker was Donald Rumsfeld, Sec. of Defense, US Dept. of Defense, whose speech was entitled, "Opporunities for ecurity Cooperaton in North America: Military-to-Military cooperation."  I find it troubling that an official many are calling to sstep down from the job has anything to do with this ploy to dissolve our nation's sovereignty.  

Is it time to blow the trumpet and warn our congressional reps that we won't sacrifice our nation's sovereignty for a contrived "security" agreement between neighboring countries?  My personal view is if that's the right course of action, then we need to act now because the window of opportunity is clsoing quickly. 

Now, lots being done furitively in the background by all three countries to meld commerce, environmental issues, population flow between countries, trade regulations, etc. etc.  C-SPAN is covering alot of these meetings.  The lastest one I saw was on The Latino Coalition and how they're spearheading and implementing many of the melding issues.  At the Coalitions meeting, our Commerce Sec. Carlos Gutierrez and Senator George Allen of Virginia were guest sqeekers.  (Lindy, if I'd had my tarp down, the TV would have been pelleted by cashews and M&M's.) 

Bottom Line:  we don't need no stinkin' 3-country security pact if each country passed out firearms and ammo to the People so we could police our own backyards.  Haarumph!
