One Year Ago Today

occupy wall street wins its first big victory

the occupy wall street folks have bagged their first big, important trophy.  tonight the rejects on fox news and especially o'reilly and hannity devoted valuable (to them) fox news air time to mock the protests and protesters.  that's a huge win for the good guys.  if those asswipes are taking the time to belittle you, you have scared the shit out of them.  nice job.  boo-ya! 

al-awlaki: obama's latest murder. this time with robots.

barack obama, the pentagon and the cia finally bagged their latest harmless straw-man idiot with a couple of very expensive robots and a few missiles.  anwar al-awlaki, american citizen, mostly-harmless ranting moron, scary muslim straw man and now, unfortunately, martyr, was murdered by the united states cia and military at the order of the president today, along with a few other people we don't care enough to talk about, with a robot drone and missile so that the president and the military/intelligence infrastructure can pretend that they are 'winning' a 'war' against 'terror'.  al-awlaki's greatest crime was being able to speak fluent english.  his second greatest crime was not being an enthusiastic believer in such bullshit as 'american exceptionalism'.  the big problem for all of us is that al-awlaki was an american citizen.  back when we had a constitution, american citizens had protections against such slights as extra-judicial murder and assassination.  now, we have assholes and morons of all stripes lining up to cheer this outrage.

whatever al-awlaki's crimes beyond his english fluency may have been we will never know.  right now, the only evidence we have that he was a danger to anyone anywhere is the word of his killers, and they are not known to be very smart or very honest.  all independent evidence states that this clown was just some guy who poked the eye of the american hegemony with his idiot rantings, so he had to die.  the fact that he was an american citizen is conveniently ignored by the cheerleading fuckers.  america  has moved far beyond a nation of laws, and this is merely the latest example.  the president used the full force of the u.s. military and intelligence forces to murder an american citizen without trial, without evidence and without reason.  how long will it be until a president uses a drone to assassinate a citizen on u.s. soil?  anyone who cheers the murder of al-awlaki is either a monster or a fool of gigantic proportions.

al-awlaki was a perfect scary monster for consumption in the u.s.  a man with little or no connection to actual operations against the interests of the united states but instead a u.s. citizen who didn't subscribe to the 'america fuck yeah' worldview, he was a safe target and could be held up as a traitor for the cheering monkeys back home.  he's another john walker lindh, a bad bad american who deserved to suffer and die so that the rest of america could feel better.  lindh was a harmless goof and al-awlaki was just as ineffectual.  the u.s. government has attempted to connect him to every act of violence in the past 10 years, but anyone dumb enough to buy that load of horseshit is free to wallow in their own fetid ignorance forever and ever.

watching the sickening self-congratulating today all over the media from elected and military officials along with tee vee buffoons and random internet jerkoffs is both one of the most disgusting as well as one of the most pathetic displays in recent american history.  whatever potential the american experiment had is long dead.  the only american exceptionalism extant is exceptional evil and stupidity.

if obama wants to murder a few more folks, i have a list

now that we've stopped pretending we're a nation of laws and freedom, i have a list of people i'd like to see killed if obama is at a loss for new targets.  i fully endorse assassination and summary execution for people i'd like to see dead, so if obama needs any help killing people, i'd be happy to forward him my list. 

when bill o'reilly praises your extra-judicial murder, you know you are wrong

dumb-as-a-post evil fucker bill o'reilly was all over the murder of purported dirtbag anwar al-awlaki, stroking his major boehner and fluffing obama in the 'war' on 'terror' at the start of his show tonight.  if anyone needed any evidence that what we did in yemen was evil and wrong, here you go.  if o'reilly says it's good, you know it's as wrong as wrong can be.

next time, let bank of america fail

there's no such thing as to big to fail.  if boa wants to screw over its customers, please remember what they did and next time let them go out of business.  what we in the united states don't seem to understand is that private businesses exist to serve the needs of the citizens and not the other way around.  any private enterprise that cannot survive due to incompetence or poor policies deserves to fail.  bank of america is a great example of this, and it is to our great discredit that we protected their wealth and privilege on the backs of the average americans. 

wait, what? melissa harris-lacewell-perry is a great black public intellectual?

what the fuck?  if this dipshit is right, then we are all beyond fucked, the white, the black, the brown and the blue people, too.  what makes her a great public intellectual?  because she is on msnbc fluffing obama's failures?  because she teaches at one of our numerous expensive and non-selective private universities?  because she's an african-american woman?  what's next, imani gandy is going to be hailed as the finest political mind of the 21st century?  sweet jesus mother fucking christ, can't we do better than this bullshit?  we're doomed.

thar she blows! the great christie whale!!

moby's dick is still out there!  put the boats in the water boys and man the harpoons!
