October Suprise

God I hope this doesn't manifest itself,
but now is the time and the GOP certainly has set the stage....
Lets pray it doesn't come true....
but then how low does this administration go?

listen to Keith Olbermann speak of the failures... listen to him talk to the cowardly national ad that resurrects Bin-Laden... after even the pResident has written him off as no longer a concern.

But how low will these creatures go to march out their agenda of hegemony? How many more will they murder to keep the collective mindset of Americans in their grip? With less than two weeks til the election, it would play well from the Karl Rove handbook of Election Victories at Any Cost to pull the October Surprise.... like a bug listening on his campaign headquarters only days before incumbent Ann Richards was to sweep contender George W Bush by a wide margin. But the headline news of the wiretapping of campaign headquarters cast enough doubt to bring the the Goddess of Liberty atop the Austin Capitol building and the State of Texas... under Bush's control.

Days after the election, the truth of the "bug" broke, it has a battery life of 2 hrs, a range of 50 yards and was incorrectly setup. But the yet unknown Rove would tell you it worked just fine, for with that October surprise, his candidate took the office and the followup story never made it off an inset column on page 22 of section D.

Now the stakes are much higher... loss of the senate and house... leaving pResident Bush a complete lame duck... with several pieces to Cheny's political end-game yet to be played...

Now, the Bin-Laden ad, increased headlines of dirty bomb threats in stadiums and cities... Are we being tenderized for the real surprise? WIll this administration sink so low as to stage another terrorist act to stay in power? The stakes have never been higher... the pResident and his henchmen could still face prison if enough seats change.... would they bring down another building? Release a dirty bomb? Unleash a biological agent? ... or do they have an even better plan?

Diebold, ES&S and the voter machines... will all the elections return with 51 to 49 votes in favor of the Republicans? Will we again find out too late of the partisan crimes like Kathleen Harris (FL Sec of State 2000) now Congresswoman, who had 58,000 minority voters struck from the register because their surnames matched convicted people? Or Kenneth Blackwell (OH 2004 Sec of State) Head of elections commission and chair of Bush's re-election committee... who's now running for Governor! Blackwell who with Diebold President, "Deliver Ohio to the GOP"....

Yes perhaps there will be no October Surprise.... We can only Pray these Imperialistic Megalomaniacs in Washington do not murder more civilians on our own soil to swing the vote.... But will we have the November surprise when voters are once again, deceived by a privatized voting system that can swing digits to record victory of their choosing—and without paper to prove. Will we be one step closer to a reality we will wear in shame the rest of our lives?

Democracy is the will of the people, if we do nothing, our will be done.... we can stew in our own juices as the world returns to an awful chapter... when another megalomaniacal empire subjugated the masses... and trust me, we are all part of the masses.

Will it once again be the scrupulous work of investigative reporters to uncover the truth about the elections? Months and years later being able to connect the dots, get the story, find the truth... Or will our new laws restricting journalism, consolidating media ownership and control, and our new wiretapping freedoms empower this administration to see all, hear all, and arrest any who stand in their way.... or is that saved for 2008?

in prayers

The Unraveling

RightWing Media Pundits pull all the stops

It is hard to imagine this tactic is still employed by the Right Wing Media majors like FOX. But here we have it again, Right wing talkshow pundits on every podium they can summon, spewing the most audacious misdirection and spin ever perpetrated on the general public.

Step right up ladies and gentleman,, see GOP pundit, Steve Malzberg, lyve, and caged in a prison of his party's own making. A Pundit with an unparalleled ability to muckrake the most vile propaganda known to man,, step right up and see how they treat their voting constituants,, like, a ninth ward minority granny on her rooftop, in New Orleans... Yes thats right folks,
OOOoooooowwww! , Don't let the kids get too close!
He's liable to snatch em from your mitts and devour them like or dervs at a GOP fundraiser.

,Who wants to ask the first question? You, there in the back, what do you want to ask the pundit?

When did the speaker of the house first learn of the congressman's penchant for little boy pages?

rrrrrarrrreerrrooowww... it was clinton, I mean monica lewinski,er radical activist judges..er liberal, democrats and communists, siding with AlQida and passing secrets that threaten our nations security rrreereeroaaarrssssss.... WMD's WMD's BinLaden and Iraq, Saddham and 9/11... liberal flip-floppers, disgracing the military... stay the course, greeted as liberators, we are a friendly nation that seeks to help democracy flourish throughout the middle east..... err... cluster bombs.....hhaaaaa uum wiretaps,eenn umm no free speech, no journalism....embed, embedded...activist, sodham, illegal aleins, border fence...
what was the question? err about two years ago...

Excuse me? Two years ago? We are talking about a person caught flirting with a MINOR!

Not just any person, a Congressman! Not just any Congressman, but the one who heads up the Commission to protect MINORS FROM PEDOPHILES??? Right?

iiiieeeeaarrrrrighhhhtyroooski.... radical russians, communist threat, alquida, carbomb, oklahoma, mcVey.... Hinkley Shot Reagan, terror suspects held in detention facilities errrrrrraaarrrr

And not just any Minor, but a captive group of children sent to SERVE CONGRESS....
A group of children given a chance to learn how Congress works! Sent by their parents
to get an up-close look at our 109th Congress - in action!

heeeeerrrrraarrraayy,, muktada elsauder, briitish taliban..... rrrrryes aI guess thats what happened..... so????

What have they learned? hie children, What have we exposed them too?
And now, how are the leaders of the GOP responding?

Weeeellllllllleerrrrii'mmmmmaaaagggonnnatttteeellllyaaa the kids were never in harms way, and are safely in their pajamas in bed...eeerrrrrriIi knowwthis cuz I tuckked in a few of the cute liitle boys, myself..e..rrrrraaaaahhh. - jesus haters- liberal anarchists errraaahhh.... 9/11 stay the course errr ahh umm....


How can anyone align themselves with this kind of doctrine? It is inconceivable to think that anyone can pretend to claim any moral high ground on this issue... while behaving like this. Steve??

WWWOOOOdddeemeeellllloommaaahhhh gotta big fat check for my appearance errrannnddddddI can perhaps one day follow in the footsteps of my hero Tony Snowwwwwww activistjudges errrroowww abortion lovers, leavenochildbehinddddddefense strategy, operation stoploss...errrrrr wwwooowww

Steve Malzberg you're a disgrace to journalism...We're talking about a Pedophile who has been essentially given the keys to the children's dormitory... by House Speaker Haskert and the GOP-run 109th Congress!

Errrrrrrhheeyy,, hee gottt the keys???? nnnnnaaaaannooo fairrrrrr, whay doesnt the press corp get them too???? Weerrree alwaays the last ones to the party..errrrrr ummmm....


Haskert knew of Foley's penchant for little boys-pages-for 2 years! But because the GOP needed that Republican seat. it was more important than the children of parents from both sides of the aisle.

Errrruummmsseeeuuummmmerrrrepublicans are betterrrrr, higher morality and church light.... errravtivistjudges...err...an Democrats, flip floppers errrann hillary.errr barbara boxerrrrrrandddddennisconyerrrracist judges...... errr stay the course... plausable deniability, acceptable casualty...eeerrrrr... no on said freedom would be easy errrraaarrrgggg Rumsfelt denied any wrongdoing...errrr brownies doin a heck of a job errruummmm



This has nothing to do about prior scandals,
nothing to do with Democrats at all...
but watch FOX network blatantly manipulate
public perception with lies,
unrelated distractions and bully tactics.
Straight out of Rove's Handbook

Steve Malzberg has the privilege
of being a radio talk-show host!
He should be censored just like Foley
should have been by Speaker Haskert.

Time to take to the pen and write opinions...
to friends, family, neighborhood papers....

FOX is blatantly abusing their privilege
to broadcast on our airwaves! And since
1981, the FCC, our government's oversight
commission has been systematically re-staffed
by media-friendly and in many cases media
owned personnel. Today the FCC is nothing
more than a rubber stamp
for this administration and its policy...
favoring media consolidation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC

The director, Kevin Martin, headed the
Bush-Cheney transition team and is a radical
right-wing media advocate, his predecessor
Michael Powell blatantly served the interests
of media corporations... no wonder it seems
like this kind of conduct is okay!

The real question is How low
will we let them go?

We go about our lives too busy
to accept responsibility...
We push aside our duty as citizens
in a Democracy, our duty to be informed...
to take action, to participate.

We do so at our own peril,
for this democracy is unraveling
before our very eyes-
whether we choose to look
-or not, and when its gone,
there is no "do-over button"

Make sure the 110th Congress does not
become the second Rubberstamp of the
New American Century...

And keep the Rubberstamp Republicans
like Green out of the Govenor's office.
`
Lets not make our children pay
in ways far worse than the
Congressional Pages have paid.

End of Democracy!

What did you do yesterday?
My Mom turned 81... but that wasn't the most important event that occurred yesterday.

Yesterday America officially dismantled its very fabric. Bush and his rubberstamp Congress signed the 2006 Military Commission Act and officially made our existing form of government obsolete.... but for the figure head branches. Look Here



With the signing of this Bill, all the secret torture prisons this administration has built around the world are now legal. This Bill suspends Habeas Corpus for detainees ll, 4.5 acre big, Eisenhower, equipped with tactical military strike fighters and a barrage of surveillance and support aircraft, left Norfolk,VA on October 3rd with more than 5000 young sailors and air corps. The average age on board is 19 years so they are certainly able, but also impressionable.

As of tomorrow and certainly up through election time, the presence of this awesome arsenal will raise tension in an already tense area. Can you sat Tonkin Bay? How bout Pearl Harbor or September 11th... each of these events stuck fear and retribution throughout America. What will be this war's ignition incident? Will it happen next week or just before the election? Will you be drawn to fight back, or to look at the cause and effect scenario we have begun today?

This latest example of Bush Diplomacy... like Iraq, Afghanistan and the Lebennon/Palestine interventions before... should be a clear indicator of the agenda this administration has always had... even before 9/11. Regime Change is a clever word for Imperialism- the policy of extending the rule or authority of a nation over foreign countries.

As of today, he now has the authorization to do so.... where were you on October 17, 2006? This is a day will certainly live in infamy... perhaps even more-so than Dec 7th, 1941.

SmirkingChimp

Grieve for our nation and its inability to escape
the self-distractive stranglehold its media, military, industrialists and politicians have put us in....

Some may laugh at my "conspiracy" talk...
but pray I'm wrong as it will surely make you wish
you'd cared more about defending democracy
rather than watching CSI: or Survivor...

Yesterday, the real Crime Scene was Washington
The Survivors of this act will not be you, as of yesterday
your rights were voted off the island.

Left wing media bias my eye!

Please take a moment to view this news clip on YouTube. If you don't have an account, it's free and easy to sign-up, just follow the prompts...

It's difficult to comprehend from this clip that we are talking about a person caught flirting with a MINOR! Not just any person, a Congressman! Not just any Congressman, but the one who heads up the Commission to protect MINORS FROM PEDOPHILES.

And not just any Minor, but a captive group of children sent to SERVE CONGRESS.... A group of children given a chance to learn how Congress works! Sent by their parents to get an up-close look at our 109th Congress -in action! What have they learned? What have we exposed them too? And now, how are the spokesmen of the GOP responding- just listen!

How can anyone align themselves with this kind of doctrine? It is inconceivable to think that anyone can pretend to claim any moral high ground on this issue... while behaving like this.

Steve Malzberg is a disgrace to journalism...

Again, we are talking about a Pedophile who has been essentially given the keys to the children's dormitory... by House Speaker Haskert and the GOP-run 109th Congress!

Haskert knew of Foley's penchant for little boys-PAGES-for 2 years! Because the GOP needed that Republican seat and it was more important than the children of parents from both sides of the aisle.

Steve Malzberg has the privilege of being a radio talk-show host! He should be censored just like Foley should have been by Speaker Haskert. But the right wing media will look the other way just as the right wing government did with Foley. So who really thinks the media is left wing???

Time to take to the pen and write opinions... to friends, family, neighborhood papers....

FOX is blatantly abusing their privilege to broadcast on our airwaves! And since 1981, the FCC, our government's oversight commission has been systematically re-staffed by media-friendly and in many cases media owned personnel.

__________________________

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man been elected unfair
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

/ E - A - / / / / E D A C /

There's battle lines being drawn
If you're not on the right then you really must be wrong
Good people not speaking their minds
Getting so much confusion as they're reading the signs
I think it's time we stop, hey, stand our ground
Everybody turn their tvs down

What a field-day on the streets
a thousand protesters on their feet
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, you're not on our side
It's time we stop, hey, wake this town
Everybody bring that white house down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when they make you afraid
Change the laws, the man come take your freedoms away

We better stop, hey, look around
Everybody get our country found
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody turn your tv down
Stop, now, look what we found
Whole lotta lying going down
Stop, Bush and his crowd
Before they bring our nation down

People dying in Taqrit
Iraqi lives not worth more than meat
Our soldiers crossing the line
between whats right and what others want to find
Its time we stop leave that ground
no reason to tear that country down

Stop hey look around
no nuclear weapons to be found
yeah stop now look around
only corporations gaining ground
stop now before too late
lets fuck that bush and make our country great

we gotta join together with our friends
stretch out our arms tell them now its time to end
no more manipulation of the words
we stand for truth and it really must be heard

Its time to stop hey turn around
send our soldiers homeward bound
stop now listen round
burn a bush in washingtown
stop yeah whats that sound
everyone turn you tv down
stop hey wake this town
everyone tear the whitehouse down

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

/ E - A - / / / / E D A C /

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
