the kicking machine might just be building a head of steam.
there is so much fun shit about gingrich that we will miss out on most
of it if newt doesn't take his bullshit act all the way to the
convention. he has been responsible for so much harebrained babble of
the years, in addition to his rancid hypocrisy and general stupidity,
that we will probably only have time for a medley of his greatest hits
no matter how long it goes.
unfortunately,
probably not,
but when the democrats give the republicans everything and agree to
cuts to the programs that benefit the most vulnerable americans on the
orders of obama, it does march us one step closer to president romney.
lee papa, aka you know who,
has some interesting man-on-the-scene observations from zuccotti park,
including a personal run-in with the police state in action.
the
coordinated
policy of violence against the occupy movement should not have been any
surprise to anyone. violence is always the favored tool of power
against any citizens who attempt to exercise their rights beyond the
limits delineated by ruling power. true freedom is anathema to
oligarchy. the 1%, the elite power structure in the united states, are
not at all interested in the exercise of freedom, constitutional or
otherwise, beyond their own narrow interests and agenda. any attempt to
broaden the scope of the interests or agenda of the economy, as the 99%
and occupy movement are doing, will be met with the most stringent
resistance, up to and including deadly violence and the full weight of
the corrupt criminal justice system. as has been reported, the full
force of every level of goverment will fight on behalf of the
oligarchy. no one can possibly be surprised. this is the nature and
the purpose of
oligarchy.
the
counterpunch piece by
alan nasser
presents an excellent background on the consolidation of oligarchical
power and its projection. it really is a short history of the
development of the modern american state, diseased and corrupted as it
is, and it illuminates the one possible path left that leads out of our
current wilderness. only if we break the oligarchy, the machine that is
corrupting our entire planet, will we have any hope of repairing the
hope of freedom and progress in our economy and our society and our
planet. the 99% and occupy movement understand that. so do the bad
guys.
the more you hear about the twisted reality of the pennsyltucky vatican,
the more it feels like an especially creepy david lynch movie re-edited
into a houseswives-style 'reality' show. jesus fucking christ, the
lawyer is a child rapist, too? that cannot be real. it's just too
fucking much. perhaps this whole sad episode is little more than a
tactic by some evil-doers to make alabama seem not so bad.
according to the news sources, the
occupy wall street camp lost their
bicycle generators
in the raid last night, along with their books and lots of other
stuff. the bike generators are a wicked good idea, so let's hope they
get tons of support to rebuild whatever they need and also spread that
techonology far and wide.
the occupy movement has won a significant victory in forcing that
repulsive troglodyte bloomberg to mount a military assault on their encampment
in manhattan. it seemed that the movement may have been losing focus
and its hold on the dialogue in and around our politics, but now they
have the advantage once again thanks to that short-sighted little
mayoral troll. the optics are fantastic, so go back to zuccotti park,
and every other location that has been forbidden across the country, in
order to force the police to stage crackdown after crackdown. media
blackouts, assault weapons, mass arrests are all tools of
anti-democratic governments, so the occupy movement should force the
various municipalities into very nasty public relations fuck-ups as
often as they can. show the government for what it is over and over and
eventually even some of rock-headed idiots across america will get the
point. this is not the america they think it is. in reality it's
china. it's egypt. it's libya. it's palestine. show that. make the
bad guys show their colors. take it back in oakland, denver and
everywhere else. this truly is a sort of general strike against a
broken and evil system. every attack on the protests is an attack on
the constitution; it is up to the occupy movement to draft as many
americans as they possibly can in a vigorous defense of those
fundamental principles.
in addition, there should be some serious hardball going on behind the
scenes. the big-time media and entertainment folks who support the
movement should be called upon to provide the big-time money that will
be required to post the bonds for potentially thousands of protesters as
well as top-flight legal action against the cities, their governments,
and the mayors and police brass personally wherever possible in order to
make anti-democratic and violent action against the protesters
exceptionally painful for every guilty party. olbermann, letterman,
moore and the rest should help to build an unstoppable war chest to open
the fight on another front.
