Still the Same…

Unfortunately things have not improved much in the world since we last spoke. All my predictions and recommendations remain unchanged. Only a few pins left to pull before this ride flies apart. They’re working on it.

Stop The Bailout MADNESS!!

Isn’t it just so refreshing that the Congress can’t find a way to balance the budget, OR fix America’s broken healthcare or education or infrastructure systems, but they CAN AND WILL meet in the middle of the night to give away trillions of dollars…erm, uh, respond to this “new” crisis no one saw coming which has been MANUFACTURED to collapse just in time for some sweeping government ‘reforms and legislation’ and continued BORROWING from foreign bankers…to keep our “robust economy” (Der FuhrerBush’s words, not mine) afloat for another week or so. *roflmao*

The farce continued today as our “elected representatives” convened in a special (partially closed) evening session to romance the American people into a royal SCREWING through a revised Senate bill that promises that yes, Americans will be insured up to $250,000 of their soon-to-be-worthless fiat currency in the vastly insolvent banks of the country and yes, if you have a mental illness (possibly due to your retirement vaporizing and after considering your prospects competing for that greeter position at Wal-Mart) you will get equally shitty coverage under the failed insurance system just like you had any other disease they already “cover.”

Just enough sweetening to almost make that turd sandwich slide right down before you consider the implications of piling another couple trillion dollars (after interest, since we pay interest on our OWN MONEY) is thrown into the FIRE…to burn away with the rest of the toxic mess. The American people are being misled on this deal, and kept in the blind. I couldn’t even find any links to this 400-plus page clusterfuck from any major outlets, unlike they provide for most other legislation. OpenCongress was down in the time after the bill passed, possibly as millions of other “interested 3rd parties” were either searching it out or perhaps well-paid hacks were DOS‘ing the shit out of it to keep “interested 3rd parties” HOODWINKED.

Behold, the American taxpayer in his current condition, tied up, caged, hoodwinked and stressed the FUCK out. And who makes up the cast of characters leading us down the primrose path further into Hell THIS time? Oh look, every major political figure on both sides of the spectrum! Pelosi, Reid, Boehner, McCain, Bush, OBAMA, BIDEN, etc. etc. Yes it’s a BIPARTISAN screwing this time, an orgy of ignorance and corruption, or possibly a lot of BOTH. The fearmongering drips from every major media outlet, and each tale of woe “if we fail to pass this” gets scarier and SCARIER. (Unlike the ‘Saw’ series..)

Harry Reid, in a performance that Jigsaw himself couldn’t have made appear more menacing, threatens America with the failure of an “unnamed major insurance company” which could only mean AIG in the frightened minds of municipal bondholders and pensioners worldwide. OMG. Can’t you see it?? WAKE UP AMERICA. It’s a MERCILESS shakedown!!!

 ”Give us the money, or we’ll shut down your state and local governments too!” Then the classic sales push, the TIME factor…we’re RUNNING out of TIME, OMFG we have to throw out the baby with the bathwater to put out this burning house! How quaint. These sons of bitches will stop at nothing to scare America into FALLING FOR THIS BULLSHIT. (AND YOU FALL FOR IT EVERY TIME)

This is our future we’re talking about people…do you want to use a wheelbarrow of money to buy a loaf of bread? If you support this thing, you obviously DO like the feel of a fat roll of WORTHLESS money in your pocket.

The saddest part…other than a few street protests most people will not take the time or make the effort to stop them. Most of you (if you even read this) will just sigh, shrug your shoulders and think to yourself that you didn’t have the ability to make any ‘real change’ anyhow, or you think (even worse) that your elected leadership has YOUR best interst at heart, the truly slumberous of you.

We’ve allowed them to do everything except anally rape our mothers while pouring sugar in our gas tank by this point. As disgusted as I am with the government, I’m THRICE as disgusted at the “CITIZENS.” Go back to sleep, sheep. Zzzzz.

King Of The Mountain (Part I)

Soon, and I can not tell you with perfect alacrity WHEN exactly because that’s not how it works, but surely soon…we may be forced to live as refugees within our own country. A time is coming when the puppet masters are going to pull the plug on the economy while they step off the scene and secretly and maliciously implement a new order onto the population as a “solution” to the problems they CREATED themselves. Shock doctrine FTL.

By the time they have set their traps (and most of the pieces are in place already according to my friends in the civilian and military technology and security sectors) there won’t be much time for people to choose up sides or react. You will either be given the choice to comply or perish, and with luck you MAY be ‘lucky’ enough to only be imprisoned for resistance.

Most people, sheep that they are, will actually go along with the plan, which will include the conversion to a tightly controlled monetary system under which people will be forced to accept an RFID type device (could be a tattoo, chip, tag, card, there are all sorts of ways.) The bottom line will be this..if you don’t have the device, you don’t get to participate, or eat and survive in other words. Take the mark or become a skinny refugee..great choice, huh?

You are probably asking me now, “X, what do we do?” Well I can’t tell you exactly, because deep down each and every one of us pretty much knows what needs to happen to change things. It won’t be in November, that’s for sure. No solutions there, my friends.

Unfortunately, the time has come for like-minded individuals to enter the final phase of planning to deal with this coming catastrophe. If you have not invested in brass or don’t have access to any, get some as soon as possible. Stock food and survival supplies. Prepare a plan for you and your family to be able to survive for at least two weeks. The reason I give two weeks as a standard is that once this thing starts, it will shake out pretty quickly as far as who is with you or against you. After that, you can form alliances with people you TRUST to survive long-term.

If you don’t have the guts to stand up against the system, I wish you the best and tell you this: apathy and submission got us to this point, the point where we are broken as a nation and have become debtors to the world. We have compromised our sovereignty through lack of action or malfeasance on the part of our leaders, who sold us out. However, gentle and apathetic person, do you think the life you have NOW is bad? Wait until they exert total control. You will have no life. You will exist to serve the state, nothing more. Your every move and affair will be tracked and monitored, like a dog. It is in your vital interest that this country remain free and I implore you to FIND the courage to resist.

Regional resistance will tie up the occupiers for a long, long time. There are easily defensible areas in the forests, the hills, the valleys. Find one, stake it out, and make it your own. Beware those who attempt to infiltrate your groups of friends at this point. The government is well-aware of the plans of resistors (in general) and is probably busy making moves of their own even as we speak to do what they can to stop them in their tracks. There is no telling what they will offer those who would sell their brothers out like Judas, perhaps thirty pieces of silver. Most of you know who you can and can not trust by this point.

Organizing and arming a militia unit is a good idea. Live-fire training for those who have never been in combat or have no understanding of such endeavors is a good idea. If nothing else, get out to a rifle or pistol range and brush up on your skills. Learn the ins and outs of your weapons and devise tactics (assume you will fight a much larger and more well-armed force) for your group and make sure every member is trained in basic combat lifesaving techniques.

While you are busy shopping, don’t overlook medical first aid supplies. Be aware of the time of the year and dress and pack accordingly. The worst thing you could have happen is to get out in the wilderness and be beaten by the elements and not even your enemy. Learn basic survival skills, practice building fires (I’m personally not that great at it and need some practice too!) and fishing in streams, learn to cook what you hunt or fish and gain at the very least a cursory knowledge of edible plants and berries. This could save your ass in a pinch.

Anything and everything else you can think of is great…feel free to post comments to this board or to me privately with your ideas. We are beyond the point of worrying about what folks are thinking, for the most part. The government (and those evil bastards who are planning to screw us over) are keenly aware of the resistance forming and we’re fine with that. It’s best that they know folks are ready to stand up against them. They will be in for a hell of a fight.

Am I crazy for writing this? Asking for trouble? No, there are laws on the books and more coming through the pipeline forbidding bloody revolution or advocating the same (which I’m not), though none so far as I know exists against advising citizens of how to defend themselves from (hypothetical) tyrannical governments, as there are numerous volumes on survival and military tactics available in any public library, and I suggest you read some of them if you have not already. Irwin Rommel’s “Attacks” is good, as is the Foxfire series.

In summation, allow me to clarify my position here so everyone understands.. I am talking about defending ourselves from a hypothetical situation where an unelected entity attempts to subdue or oppress the civilian population of the United States, eliminating human rights and forcing folks to participate in their system of total control. In that case, that entity would certainly be deemed “the enemy” of free peoples anywhere by any reasonable standard, and we would have a CIVIC DUTY to fight against it.

I’m not talking about pre-emptively attacking anyone or anything, only responding to what’s to come. (Most likely.) In upcoming posts I’m going to be a bit more specific about tips and tactics. Let me know if you like the series.

Supreme Hypocrisy On The Steps Of The SCOTUS

Let me preface this by saying I’m REALLY GLAD the 2nd amendment was preserved…HOWEVER…

Lo and behold!!! Is it yet ANOTHER case of selective law enforcement by DC Park Police and Metro Cops…hmm? I think so.

WIthin the last month these people were arrested for protesting on the steps of the Supreme Court…observe here…

MEANWHILE just yesterday THESE protesters were NOT arrested so far as I know…just pointing out the hypocrisy. Are the park police a bunch of scared sissies afraid to arrest pro-gun bubbas but if the folks are already assuming the position in orange jumpsuits they’re gung ho and ready to fill the paddy wagon?

I don’t think EITHER SETS OF PROTESTERS should be arrested. Free speech and power to the people, and especially right up to the steps of the Supreme Court, screw your free-speech zones…AND FINALLY… the DC park police and metro cops need to understand that WE THE PEOPLE see their selective enforcement as politically motivated and despicably biased. Why don’t you guys start acting with a bit of evenhandedness and integrity? It’d be a nice change.

US General Says Bush Administration Guilty Of War Crimes

The time has long passed for this nation to throw off these lawless criminals who have (at the least) violated human rights wantonly and brazenly in the face of nearly UNIVERSAL condemnation. It’s time for Americans to stand up for justice. These sons of bitches must be held accountable.

McClatchy Has The Scoop

WASHINGTON — The Army general who led the investigation into prisoner abuse at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison accused the Bush administration Wednesday of committing “war crimes” and called for those responsible to be held to account.

The remarks by Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba, who’s now retired, came in a new report that found that U.S. personnel tortured and abused detainees in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, using beatings, electrical shocks, sexual humiliation and other cruel practices.

“After years of disclosures by government investigations, media accounts and reports from human rights organizations, there is no longer any doubt as to whether the current administration has committed war crimes,” Taguba wrote. “The only question that remains to be answered is whether those who ordered the use of torture will be held to account.”

Chimpeachment, Election Year WMD

If a single moment of clarity comes to you mindless Repubs who feebly cry out “off the table” anytime the subject comes up…consider this.

The GOP is already on the ropes and this election cycle will be a sure loser.

Nancy and Harry have “flip-flopped” before. Don’t claim they won’t/can’t. LOL

Petition drives continue from folks like Wexler on the judiciary committee and Kucinich supporters are going to make themselves heard as well.

Investigations are turning up impeachable offenses, including war crimes,  if they can connect the dots to Bush OR Cheney they’re screwed. The walls are closing in on this administration.

Happy Father’s Day

I’m sorry for ever hating you. I miss you. We’ll meet again someday. Happy Father’s Day.

Newton County Jail Suicide Epidemic

Folks I don’t normally have time to complain too much about local happenings, but I feel rather compelled to let the good folks of the world know that we’re having a LITTLE PROBLEM up here in Newton County with folks HANGING THEMSELVES in the jail up here. I’m not sure what to say except that I sure hope someone is taking the time to look into it DEEPLY.

Where’s the FBI? Where’s the Arkansas Bureau of Prisons? Where’s ANYONE at this point? WTF?

Why are these incidents an atrocity to reason?

The main reason is the sheer weight of negligence required to have a jail housing prisoners 24 hours a day without a full time jailer or even a properly working closed circuit TV system operational. The backup system (CCTV) failed in BOTH these cases. A dispatcher is not capable of monitoring an entire jail full of inmates remotely.

Do you see wrongful death lawsuits coming? I do.

Faith in the local civic leadership has been eroding steadily over the time I’ve lived up here due to several bad policies and choices made and not made concerning law enforcement and the jail. These events have caused the jumpstart of a campaign by a write-in candidate to overturn the incumbent Sheriff Keith Slape. The first-term sheriff recently suffered personal tragedy in the death of his daughter, leaving some locals to question his ability to effectively show enough leadership in dealing with this particular situation to maintain office after November. Time will tell.

*UPDATED 6/29*

New information supplied by a local law enforcement source proves the rumor that the second suicide was from hanging from a bunk bed was incorrect, as had been originally reported right here in error…it was actually a vent duct near the ceiling over the toilet. I hope that clears up a lot of confusion but maintain my position that both deaths were probably avoidable had better controls been in place and had the jail had a full time staff. How there couldn’t be one is a real mystery to me. Just seems absent minded and flat ass dangerous.

Bush Leaked Valerie Plame’s Identity

From Firedoglake

Scottie McC doesn’t know it yet. But that’s basically what he revealed this morning on the Today Show (h/t Rayne).

During the interview, Scottie revealed the two things that really pissed him off with the Bush Administration. First, being set up to lie by Karl Rove and Scooter Libby. And second, learning that Bush had–himself–authorized the selective leaking of the NIE.

Scottie McC: But the other defining moment was in early April 2006, when I learned that the President had secretly declassified the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq for the Vice President and Scooter Libby to anonymously disclose to reporters. And we had been out there talking about how seriously the President took the selective leaking of classified information. And here we were, learning that the President had authorized the very same thing we had criticized.

Viera: Did you talk to the President and say why are you doing this?

Scottie McC: Actually, I did. I talked about the conversation we had. I walked onto Air Force One, it was right after an event we had, it was down in the south, I believe it was North Carolina. And I walk onto Air Force One and a reporter had yelled a question to the President trying to ask him a question about this revelation that had come out during the legal proceedings. The revelation was that it was the President who had authorized, or, enable Scooter Libby to go out there and talk about this information. And I told the President that that’s what the reporter was asking. He was saying that you, yourself, was the one that authorized the leaking of this information. And he said “yeah, I did.” And I was kinda taken aback.

Meet The South American Union

Did you miss this tidbit on Friday? I did…ha…and they say there could NEVER be a “North American Union” ummhmmm….

FROM THE BBC

The leaders of 12 South American nations have formed a regional body aimed at boosting economic and political integration in the region.

At a summit in Brazil, they signed a treaty which created the Union of South American Nations (Unasur).

Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said the move showed that South America was becoming a “global player”.
