Power Jobs for the Millions

I was just listening to a piece on The Thames Festival on NPR.  It suggested a whole new industry: 

Human power generation!  

The idea is to setup a series of  ‘gyms’ where the stationary bikes, rowing machines, and walkers are fitted to generate electricity.  A new technology of combining exercise with energy! 

With enough participation we should be able to dump nukes, avoid trashing Anwar, and eliminate obesity. 

The ‘generators’ can be paid a decent wage for the amount of power they generate.  No particular amount of time generating or amount of power generated would be required.  Unions could get involved in negotiating wages for units of power and other benefits.  I would think that all generators would get the same wage for unit of production so no wage discrimination would be possible.

Human power generation could be the key component of a completely green power grid, what I call:  ‘The Green Grid’, i.e., solar, wind, hydro, bio, and human. 

Fitness and Power Unite! 

This job obviously doesn’t require 'higher education' or social connections.  No teamwork is required.  Human power generation will spawn off many jobs in equipment design and maintenance.  Food service and facility maintenance jobs would also be created.  

So, here’re the jobs O’bama’s been looking for!  Jobs for the millions!  If we combine Human Power with a drastic up scale in solar power, we could employ every man, woman, and teenager in the country wanting work in clean jobs in a healthy environment.

This idea is probably not new, but it is the first time i've heard it suggested as a way of eliminating the current depression.  Let’s hope O takes up the torch.

…///end-of-line

Where’s the Dick Cheney of the Left?

Oh, if only O’bama was like Dick Cheney!   He’d have told that Boner where to go.  Just like that Dick told Patrick Leahy on the Senate floor.

Cheney-to-Leahy

Where’s our ‘shotgun faceoff’ Dick?  It sure ain’t O.  O’s just a good little 'boy' who minds his manners.   He’s just a little kitty for John Boner’s boot kick (or lick?)!  (Meeoow…Here puss puss…)

Bonher Rebuff

Oh ‘brother’, wherefore art thou?????????????

So, if O’s too scared to ‘face off’ Boner, let me do it for him:

HEY BONER (you R.A.A.T.)…GO FUC YOURSELF! 

(And no, I’m not misspelling your name, Boner--just removing that stupid 'h' and that extraneous 'e'--because you know what you  really are, a:  Republican And A Teabag!)

…(I’m baack)

The American Declaration of Independence & Constitution of the United States Or Remember Tulsa

I’ve been listening to a lot of right wing radio of late and one of their most enduring tropes is that American Exceptionalism is due to the American Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.  So, I decided to have yet another look at these two documents.  And lo and behold, I discovered something new to me, a completely fresh way of looking at these documents:

THESE DOCUMENTS AREN’T WORTH THE HEMP THEY’RE WRITTEN ON!

Why, you might ask? 

Because there’s not one line in either of these two pieces of  ‘handi wipes’ redressing the ongoing crime of GENOCIDE against Native Americans (NAs) that the landed white gentry writing the documents was committing!  (Of course I’m fully aware that one might not want to admit to genocide before the whole world at the same time you’re starting up a country, but what I really think is the issue is that the ‘founding fathers’ didn’t really think about it all that much!  They gave more thought to their slaves than they did to ‘Indians’—especially round evening time.) 

Further, the Rube Goldberg government set forth in the constitution is nothing but a recipe for stalemate and compromise, given a population divided into two irreconcilable groups as it was over the issue of slavery and much later over the issues of civil-rights, worker’s right, women’s rights, the environment, abortion, and chemical recreation.  Neither of these documents had enough of anything to keep the country from going to war with itself over slavery.  (Or, was it property rights?) 

Neither of these two documents was able to stop the whites from imprisoning Indians in reservations on their own land.  (Oh, by 2009 there was this little thing:

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Native_American_Apology_Resolution 

Whup de doo!  That was white of ‘em!

Neither of these two documents was able to stop the, so called, Culture Wars, that are wrecking this country through the expenditure of vast sums of money on losing propositions like the war on communism, the war on drugs, and anti-abortion terrorism.

So no, there’s nothing really in these two ‘wipe jobs’ for those of you who are not the sons and daughters of the white landed gentry that stole this land from its rightful owners to whom all rights to property and exploitation of blacks, Hispanics, and immigrants are granted. 

If you read the newspapers you see that the only people to which the, so called, Bill of Rights, is applied only to the white sons and daughters of the amerikan revolution!  

Everyone of the amendments in the, so called, Bill of Rights was violated or ignored:

under the Jim Crow laws;

when it came to fighting against Bolshevik inspired ‘civil rights’ in the 1960s;

when it came to beating down those long haired free loving dope smoking hippies in the late 1960s;

when it came to beating down those who fought to end ‘the draft’ and the Vietnam war!  

Everyone of the amendments in the, so called, Bill of Rights is violated or ignored when it comes to fighting, the so called, ‘The War on Drugs’ and ‘Islamic Radicalism’ in black communities through out amerika today.

Nah, crap!  The American Declaration of Independence & Constitution of the United States were documents written of, by, and for white landed MEN of the 18^th century in the rebellious colonies of England against their counterparts in England.  The war that ensued between these parties was simply a war to see who would take the Native Americans’ land and trash it for minerals and drug (tobacco) production. 

Considering http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proclamation_of_1763, it would have been better if the British had kept control over the colonies, rather than the rabble.  Afterall:

In the United States, the Royal Proclamation of 1763 ended with the American Revolutionary War because Great Britain ceded the land in question to the United States in the Treaty of Paris (1783). Afterward, the US government also faced difficulties in preventing frontier violence and eventually adopted policies similar to those of the Royal Proclamation. (Hmmm, wonder what this means??) The first in a series of Indian Intercourse Acts was passed in 1790, prohibiting unregulated trade and travel in Native American lands. Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court case Johnson v. M'Intosh(1823) established that only the U.S. government, and not private individuals, could purchase land from Native Americans.

I guess we know how well Johnson v. M'Intosh turned out!

The rest is history, but whatever you do, REMEMBER TULSA:

The New U.S.-Israel Policy: TOUGH LOVE!

Obama was too ‘nuanced’ in his enunciation of this ‘new’ Israeli policy.  Obama said that Israel should go back to its 1967 borders with ‘swaps’ in his State Dept. speech.  In his speech to AIPAC he said that the ‘swaps’ mean that the 1967 borders aren’t the borders of   June 10, 1967.  

This is another Obama, A and ¬A! 

So, let me make it real simple for Israel, the Palestinians, and the rest of the world.

First, to Israel:  You are a rich high tech nuclear armed country with one of the world’s best military and intelligence organizations.  YOU CAN STAND ON YOUR OWN TWO FEET!  However, if you still want to get welfare from the US, YOU HAD DAMN WELL BETTER START DOING WHAT WE TELL YOU TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!  AND WHAT WE’RE TELLING YOU TO DO IS:  GO BACK TO YOUR PRE-June 10, 1967 BORDERS!  If you don’t want to, well…good luck, we know you’ll land on your feet!

Second, to Palestinians:  You should have a fully sovereign country with the borders as they were before the end of the ‘Six-Day War’ if you are going to grant ‘the right of return’ as the Israelis do.  Being sovereign means you can ‘arm up’ as much as the Israelis do!  Why should Israel have nukes and your state be de-militarized?  (Another Obama, A and ¬A, i.e., sovereign and ¬sovereign!)  If you accept the current borders, then you are the new Amerikan Indians, pushed onto ‘the Rez’.  Compare the two maps.

Hey, Pals, see the similarity?

Third, to the rest of the world:  To all you dictators out there, who were buddy-buddy with former (right-wing) US administrations:  YOU ARE NOT THIS ADMINISTRATION’S BUDDIES!  So, you better free your people and become democracies OR STARTING RUNNING!

That’s it.  Clear it up any for you?

View to a Kill 3

(This is becoming a veritable franchise!)

Obama promised us a picture of the bullet riddled head of Osama bin Landen.  Did he think such a picture would be proof of the death of bin Laden?  Hard to say.  Obama rescinded the offer almost immediately after he made it.  Obama may be the smartest guy in the White House since Richard Nixxon.

However, for the rest of us (of ordinary endowments) living in the age of Photoshop, a picture is no proof of anything.  The same, of course, goes for sound recordings, film, video, and any other medium of communication.  As far as testimonials go, they’ve been known to be completely worthless ever since people became aware of how the repetition of a story by different story tellers becomes ever more altered on each telling.

If Obama threw Osama into the sea, then the least ‘fakeable’ artifact, that could have been used to prove that the SEAL mission took place in the (ever changing) way the official narrative describes, has been lost. 

That being the case:  nobody’s description of events is any more credible than anybody else’s!  (Don’t ask me to trust you, I don’t even know you.)

Further, explanations coming from the military and the intelligence communities are the LEAST credible as these communities are trained, sworn, and very well paid to cover up the ‘reality’ of all sorts of events and situations and things.  Their very raison d’être rules out their ever giving a complete and truthful account of any efforts they undertake.  Then, there’s the matter of ‘psychological warfare’ or ‘psyops’ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_warfare).  And last, but not least, information in the intel communities is ‘compartmented’ (on a ‘need to know’ basis) so that nobody but a handful of ‘people’ at the tops of the various agencies and contracting corporations know ‘the whole story’ (so that they may be able to manipulate—for a time—our general understanding history).  I almost wrote, “our common understanding of history”, until I realized (a second later) that the mil-intel-corporate community’s understanding of history is replete with testimonials of their efforts and actions (including ‘counter-intelligence’ and 'psyops') while the history known to those outside of that community has those testimonials redacted!

So, here we all are.  All of us, freed from the truth by the secrecy and lies of our, so called, leaders! 

(Oh, by the way, never let anyone in the mil-intel-police-corporate community put you ‘on the line’ to ‘tell the truth’.  What could that even mean in their world where they manufacture ‘the truth’ as part of their secret business!  Compelling us to ‘tell the truth’ is just a form of intimidation or ‘sick kicks’!  Just remember:  whatever you think ‘the truth’ is, it is probably something else and the mil-intel-police-corporate community can make anything they want out of what you think!  The police and the courts do it to ‘inner city youth’ on a routine basis with barely a whimper from the press or ‘the general public’-- http://www.ehow.com/info_8400307_reid-american-criminal-investigation-process.html.)

So, let me proffer a conjecture.

I find it absolutely non-credible that the CIA, NSA, and Mil Intel would go to all the trouble and effort they assert they put into finding Osama (including moving in next door) just to kill Osama! 

Could the president and the mil-intel ‘leadership’ be so STUPID as to ORDER a kill for the one guy who could:   (a) explain what Al-Qaeda is currently ‘cooking up’, (b) describe Al-Qaeda’s whole communications network, (c) describe all of the ‘up and coming’ talent that’s been recruited over that last few years, (d) explain how he and his associates pulled off 911, and LAST BUT NOT LEAST:  (e) explain the relationship between Al-Qaeda and Pakistan’s ISI (especially since we seem to be itching to go to war with Pakistan over this question)?

Now, let’s say the president and the mil-intel ‘leadership’ weren’t so stupid and ordered the CIA/SEAL team to capture Osama.  Then the question becomes:  was Team 6 (or whoever) so incompetent that they FUBAR’d the mission and killed Osama (and the wife he threw at them)?  And, if the CIA/SEAL team FUBAR’d the mission, wouldn’t they cover it up?  And even if they didn’t, wouldn’t the so called, leaders, cover it up?

So, PrezO, which is it?  You or Team whoever?  Or both?  Is it stupidity or just incompetence requiring a cover up?

Or…are you lying??? 

It would be contradictory to ask you to ‘tell the truth’, given what I wrote above.  So, I’ll just leave things at this question.

However, guess what:

I DON’T BELIEVE ANYONE FUBAR’d! 

Osama simply got tired of being sidelined and imprisoned by his associates, who had turned against him, and rejected his suggestions for future operations.  He used his couriers to make an arrangement with the CIA to ‘spring’ him and cover up the fact.  His family will probably get some of that $25M bounty.  (We’ll have to keep an eye on how well they live in the future.)

While the SEALS’ mouths are sealed and the CIA is ‘completely innocent always’ and NSA has ‘no such awareness’, Obama knows (something), and it’s eating at his ‘liberal soul, brother’ to tell the truth!  (Wait a minute…that again!  Why does this keep coming up??)  On second thought, given PrezO’s success record at keeping his campaign promises…maybe not so much.

Whatever…the easiest conjecture is that this lie will eat at the heart of the next Obama administration, just as the Kennedy assassination did Johnson’s and Watergate did Nixon’s.  And, roughly around the same time that historians find out that Oswald didn’t kill Kennedy (by himself, at least), they’ll find that Osama bin Laden died an older man under WITSEC somewhere in the Nevada desert and got a proper burial for his part in bringing down Al-Qaeda.

View To A Kill 2

Oh, here we go (again)!  

< http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0511/54162.html > 

So now we’re told an unarmed bin Laden was killed while ‘resist’n’.  I’ve heard that one before. (When did Osama become a black man?)  Oh, well.  Let’s see, Carney also said there’re no pictures of the burial at sea we can see.  They’ve given us a lot of information in haste.  (Which means the story will change again…and again…and again…). 

A reporter asked how bin Laden resisted? 

I’d sure like to have seen an unarmed old man with kidney problems 

<http://www.medcitynews.com/2011/05/bin-laden-didnt-have-kidney-disease-morning-read/>

resisting a CIA/SEAL team, 

hand to hand, so effectively that they got scared and had to blow him away!  Osama must have really kicked some butt!

Quite obviously, they’d have kept him around to find out who in the ISI was ‘putting him up’ so ‘large’.  Gentle reader, this story is 100% U.S. BS (just like the beef).  Speaking of which:  ‘Where’s the beef?’

Where’s my head????????? 

Prez O promised me a head!!!!!!!!  I want my head!!  I don’t care how grizzly it is (I’ve gotten use to the grizzly moma).  Oh, I know what happened to that head!  

Who does O think he is, Sam Peckinpah?

Bring me my damn head!   Bring me the head of Alfredo bin Laden!
