{Political_Views} A message from the past to todays RepubliCONs




 

"It is regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes. Distinctions in society will always exist under every just government. Equality of talents, of education, of wealth, cannot ever be produced by human institutions. In the full enjoyment of the gifts of heaven, and the fruits or superior industry, economy and virtue, every man is equally entitled to protection by law, but when the law undertakes to these natural and just advantages artificial distinctions to grant titles (calling corporations human), gratuities (corporate CEO's bonus money)and exclusive privileges tax breaks), to make the rich richer, and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society - the farmers, mechanics and laborers - who have neither the time (today either working long hours or looking for work)nor the means of securing like favors unto themselves (lobbyists), have a right to complain of their injustice to their government (which is hard to do when your government has a party bought and paid for by corporations)."
   Andrew Jackson
 
  "The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me, and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of mass corruption will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong it's reign by working on the prejudices of the people, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the REPUBLIC IS DESTROYED."
   -Abe Lincoln--

{Political_Views} First Federal Reserve Audit Reveals Trillions in Secret Bailouts - IPS ipsnews.net




The founding fathers did not agree with each other on everything but they did on who should control a countries money. The Government. Yet less than 140 years later the Fed came along. Yet Congress has no constitutional authority to do so. In fact it say in Article one section eight that only congress has the right to coin money and fix the standard of weights and measures. At that time the United states was on the Gold standard and it's value in dollars was to be fixed by congress. Today the Fed and Wall Street do it. Today we still make the coins but the Fed (a private bank) dictates it's value.

{Political_Views} State Department Buries Head in the (Tar) Sands on Keystone XL Report | OnEarth Magazine





The Photo in this story is of the Enbridge pipeline spill. Like I have said just think what would happen if this happened say in Nebraska at the Platte River or at the Missouri River or Red River in the Dakota's.
   This spill was in July 26, 2010  near the Kalamazoo river in Michigan, and we did not hear about it because of the BP spill. But htey are still cleaning it up.
  To date 766,000 gallons of oil have been recovered. 15.3 million gallons of contaminated water disposed of. 127,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil/debris (i.e trees, plants, crops) The cost to the American tax payer so far $31.3 million dollars.
     Now this was in a populated area just think of it happening in the unpopulated area's of the Canadian Midwest the Dakota's or Nebraska. How many more gallons would flow out before anyone got their?

{Political_Views} Fwd: FW: Hemp Car - Hemp Clothes - Hemp Building




Yet it is still banned in the USA Hemp was legal up until prohibition. In fact all drugs were also legal.
Hemp is not a drug and one cannot make a drug from it. Strange bedfellows came together to give us prohibition.
The cotton manufactures went after hemp and joined in, the tobacco industry joins to make cannabis, and opium
as well as cocaine illegal. The growing oil industry joined in the fight against alcohol because at that time more
alcohol was running cars than gas.
   Hemp clothing was made by the pioneers because it lasted longer and was more durable than cotton. It could be grown anywhere and did not deteriorate the soil. Most of the rigging and ropes used in ships was made
of hemp because it was stronger.

> Who knew hemp was so incredibly versatile?
>
> Hemp is a very inexpensive uncomplicated crop to grow.
> It could be the "all-singing, all-dancing material of our future,
> to make clothes, bricks and cars...."

{Political_Views} US banks routinely defrauding servicemen and their families



They wear lapel pins of American flags. They put hand over heart and say the pledge and sign God Bless America.
But then turn around and screw the fuck out of the men and women who defend their sorry asses, in the name of their

{Political_Views} Powell fires back at Cheney 'cheap shots' - POLITICO Live - POLITICO.com




They all know what they did was wrong and they all lied to not only the American people but the worlds. They all know they broke the country and in the name of revenge and greed killed hundreds of thousands of people. They all know the condoned torture and should be in Spandau prison for war crimes.
And do not feel sorry for Powell either. He knew it was wrong and no doubt told Bush/Cheney, but he went along with ti anyway going to the UN and showing the so called evidence which were really intel photos from Daddy's Gulf War One. Now if he would have gone public
then yes he would be free of guilt. But he shut up and went along.
    But no they write books justifying their actions and blaming everyone else.

{Political_Views} Cantor to Hurricane Victims: Drop Dead









LeftAction
  1)  Tell Eric Cantor: "Don't Hold Emergency Aid Hostage"
Eric Cantor - have you no shame at all? 
Throughout our nation's history, a simple rule has applied when it comes to natural disasters: help your fellow Americans, and do what is needed to help them get back on their feet.



Thus, it's frankly appalling that Representative Eric Cantor is threatening to hold disaster relief funds hostage to his partisan pettiness. He is demanding immediate cuts to offset spending, even though it is spending necessitated by a natural disaster of historic proportions -- a hurricane that is hitting his very own district.
Representative Cantor made no such demand for cuts when he was cheerleading huge tax breaks for the wealthy, or subsidies for oil companies. But for some reason, he has chosen to draw his line in the sand now, at a time when tens of millions of Americans are in danger. He is basically telling them to "drop dead."
Enough is enough. Tell Eric Cantor to back off, to cut the dangerous partisan pettiness, and to let this urgently needed spending move forward.
And spread the word. Maybe with enough shaming, and enough of a backlash, Cantor will do the right thing -- or at least, the politically expedient thing.

2) Tell Harry Reid: Raise Warren Buffett's Taxes

 







(We announced this action in our last email, and it's taken off like wildfire (over 10,000 supporters!).  If you've already supported it, please click over, do so, and spread the word!)
We hear a lot about "shared sacrifice" and belt-tightening out of Washington, but as billionaire investor Warren Buffett noted earlier this month:

"Our leaders have asked for 'shared sacrifice.' But when they did the asking, they spared me...and while most Americans struggle to make ends meet, we mega-rich continue to get our extraordinary tax breaks."

As complicated as some want to make it, this issue is very simple. In a time of economic crisis, it's both healthy for our democracy and fundamentally fair to ask the super rich to pay more.
Senator Bernie Sanders has a bill to do this and make millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has yet to call a vote on it.
Send a message to Harry Reid: Warren Buffett wants you to raise his taxes. Schedule a vote on the Sanders bill, and force Senators to take a stand.   And if the House GOP wants to follow up by going on record in support of not taxing billionaires?  Let them!

{Political_Views} Rampant Oil Speculation Revealed

National Buz  Banner UPDATE
Why Gas is so Expensive
at the Pump


Excessive oil speculation on Wall Street causes gas  prices to soar
"There is no more debate. Excessive speculation is a major reason oil prices have risen so sharply," Sen. Bernie Sanders said, referring to U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data he recently released. The data reveals Wall Street speculators played a major role in driving up the price of a barrel of oil to $147 in 2008. During the rampant oil speculation, regular unleaded gas in Vermont hit a record $4.09 a gallon, causing financial hardship for many Vermonters.
"While making this confidential information public may have upset Wall Street oil speculators, the American people have a right to know exactly what caused gasoline prices to skyrocket to more than $4 a gallon back in the summer of 2008," Bernie said. "This report clearly shows that Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and other speculators on Wall Street dominated the crude oil futures market causing tremendous damage to the entire economy."
Speculation is rampant again, and – no surprise – gas prices have soared over the course of the last year. This week, gas in Vermont cost 90 cents more than one year ago. "There is little doubt that the same speculators who caused gasoline and heating oil prices to unnecessarily spike in 2008 are playing the same games again in 2011. This is simply unacceptable and must not be allowed to continue," Bernie said.
Bernie called on federal regulators to meet in an emergency session to crack down on speculators and provide needed relief for motorists and for people who heat their homes with heating oil. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission was required by the new Wall Street reform law to stop excessive speculation by January, but the regulators have ignored that new law. In a letter, Bernie called on the CFTC to "finally do what the law mandates and end excessive oil speculation."

Legislative Update : Bernie introduced the End Excessive Oil Speculation Now Act of 2011 that would force the CFTC to impose strict limits on the amount of oil speculators can trade in the commodity and futures markets. The bill has eight co-sponsors.

{Political_Views} Fwd: Fracking could have caused East Coast earthquake " RT





Tell me why does one have to find this out by reading articles written by American reporters working for news
organizations in other countries? Our news here in this country is concerned, distorted and twisted. What is reported is what the corporate owned media wants use to hear.
Repeated stories every half hour about kidnappings, a sad murder or some stars problem with drugs. But things like this that these very corporations  who run the media, might have caused go unreported. Their really is no longer a real freedom of the press in America for when a reporter does get a story through the corporations go to work not to deny the story but to discredit the reporter.
