Anger is a legitimate emotion in the face of injustice. Passive acceptance of evil is not a virtue.

Obama's first 100 days
In his first 100 days, Obama has excused torture, opposed habeas corpus, and demanded more secret government. He has kept Bush’s gulag intact and at least 17,000 prisoners beyond the reach of justice. On April 24, his lawyers won an appeal that ruled Guantanamo prisoners were not "persons" and therefore had no right not to be tortured. His national intelligence director, Adm. Dennis Blair, says he believes torture works. One of his senior officials in Latin America is accused of covering up the torture of an American nun in Guatemala; another is a Pinochet apologist. As Daniel Ellsberg has pointed out, America experienced a military coup under Bush, whose secretary of "defense," Robert Gates, along with the same warmaking officials, have been retained by Obama.
OBAMA - THE HIGHEST STAGE OF NEOCOLONIALISM

ReplyDeleteoh and please stop moaning and whinging. this blog has too much of that. moaning and whinging about everything, you know angry stood me up...my boyfriend is a jerk type of thing. it is so beneath us the readers to read such stuff. keep it real blogettes, or you'll lose me as a reader...you don't want that to happen.
ReplyDeletelisten, if you are having family problems or are feeling misunderstood, don't bring it to the blog. it is soooo unprofessional. don't you want to be taken seriously?
ReplyDeletev, i love your music. it is happening and it gonna break down the system...
ReplyDeleteGo Obama Messiah!
ReplyDeleteObama has banned torture. The Bush administration authorized the torture of three people, but insisted it had the right to torture others. Obama has overturned that. Gates is awesome!
Where is that "potty-mouth" wingnut that comments here from time to time? The apologist for US-style free market capitalism? He needs to read this:
ReplyDeleteEmmanuel Saez, 36, a public economics expert teaching at the University of California at Berkeley, was awarded the 2009 John Bates Clark Medal last week. Nobody has done more to describe the broad changes in income distribution in the United States that have taken place during the last ninety years. His most striking finding has been to confirm the widespread intuition that income inequality has been increasing – that one of the key regularities of post-World War II economics had fallen apart. It was in 1955 that Simon Kuznets, then of the Johns Hopkins University, observed that inequality in developing countries tended to describe an “inverted-U,” rising substantially for a time as workers moved from farms into industrial cites, then steadily diminishing as output grew and gains from increased productivity were more evenly distributed. Saez demonstrated that the “U” had decisively turned right-side up – that inequality has been rising steadily for thirty years instead of falling. Working backwards from tax data to infer household income back to 1913, when the income tax was established (modern government income surveys came into being only in 1960), he found that families making up the top ten percentile of the income distribution had been steadily increasing their share of all income since the 1970s. This best off decile of earners had one heyday in the “Roaring 1920s,” when their share reached nearly 45 percent of national income. There they remained until about 1940, when norms associated with the conduct of World War II apparently knocked them down to around 33 percent of the total. Their share remained remarkably stable for the next three decades, at around a third of national income, until the mid-1970s. Then the top decile’s share began to climb again, hitting 49.7 of national income in 2006, higher than any year since 1917 and surpassing its level in 1928, Saez found. It took $104,700 in market income for a family to make the top 10 percent in 2006.
Anand, you stuid asshole, if you do not stop the 3 peerson bullshit I am going to appoint you for extraordinary rendition, jackass
ReplyDeleteRinse - repeat -
ReplyDeleteCosta, why don't you stop the convoluted bullshit. Do you want to know the difference between this and your idiotic comments? At least they announce in the post it is a personal matter, you post jackass comments on dead serious posts - that is the difference. Now shut up
Now this fetid "market" is trying to boost this Obama clown no matter what the factors indicate, this is getting REALLY old. He is their guy, and they do not want the golden egg goose shot

This is a rally "stage" alright...
I'll re-post this hear, just so my meaning is clear at whom this is directed:
ReplyDeleteI intend to seize my enemies by the throat and squeeze until they beg forgiveness. Then they will cower before me and repent for their transgressions. If they do not satisfy my thirst for revenge then I shall smite them verily and the blood of their ancestors shall turn to salt and poison their lands. All who have trespassed upon the sanctity of my brethren shall know of horror and deep regret, for in my wake shall be left a trail of decimation that shall be testament to my wrath and righteousness.
Repent, sinners unto me. No god before you can redeem your folly. A reckoning is nigh.

ReplyDeleteThanks to NAFTA an so-called "free trade", Mexicans are now dying in droves. The epicenter of the swine flu has finally been located at La Gloria (jeeez, what an irony!), a little town North of Mexico City where a series of pig farms belonging to a US corporation, have been operating there for the past 15 years. This corporation decided to move to Mexico after it was heavily fined in the US for violating all safety codes. In Mexico de US corporation, which has enjoyed all the perks and privileges granted to foreign investors under the NAFTA agreement, has been dumping all sorts of repugnat waste in open air and polluting the water table in the area. Eventually this generated a mutating virus that recombines human, bird and pig genetic material in the most lethal way imaginable. Yesterday, I saw a Gringo reporter interviewing people in Mexico City and asking them where they though the disease had emerged for the first time. Around twenty individuals randomly interviewed said, without hesitation or variation, "it came from the US". I thought it was probably the result of one of those typical disinformation campaings customarily put forward by Mexican authorities when facing any crisis. Now I'm thinking that maybe Mexican people know better, after having experienced so much pain coming from North of the border over more than 200 years. No wonder Mexicans have this say: "Poor Mexico, so far away from God, and so close to the USA".
ReplyDeleteGreat article! Thanks Maracatú.

ReplyDelete<span>"Then, most revealingly, the aspect of the story which has been largely ignored by major media, they reported, ‘Residents believed the outbreak had been caused by contamination from pig breeding farms located in the area. They believed that the farms, operated by Granjas Carroll, polluted the atmosphere and local water bodies, which in turn led to the disease outbreak. According to residents, the company denied responsibility for the outbreak and attributed the cases to "flu." However, a municipal health official stated that preliminary investigations indicated that the disease vector was a type of fly that reproduces in pig waste and that the outbreak was linked to the pig farms.’4"</span>

The wingnut will say - he's French, ergo anti-American, probably a commie.
