Nazi Chicago

Photos & films of cocky Nazi SS troopers rounding up & brutalizing the innocent in Europe have helped our world grow away from those terrors.

But now Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel seeks to stifle American debate by magnifying protestor penalties and prosecuting those filming police brutality. The upcoming May G8 & NATO summits in Chicago are expected to rekindle scenes of 1968, when Chicago policemen merrily busted heads & bloodied the dreams of Americans seeking a kinder national discourse.

It is now illegal under the Illinois Eavesdropping Act to record police without permission. The Class 1 felony is punishable by 15 years in prison.

Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy (link) reportedly favors video & audio recordings as protection for both police & the public.

State brutality is dangerous. Our foreign interventions deserve scrutiny, and domestic political suppression must be reviewed (and should not happen at all). Four words against tyranny for Mayor Rahm Emanuel: "Let My People Know!"

Screwed by Banks & Uncle Sam

There should be no banker immunity. Their crimes cost hundreds of billions of dollars. Their donations have corrupted government. Tens of millions American people live poorer lives due to these criminals.

Politicians suck the poison teat of corporate corruption, then ask swindled Americans to eat shit.

You LOSER

Mitt Romney is a self-absorbed rich weasel. In Mitt Romney's America, normal people with normal jobs are losers.

Mitt Romney claims he's a self-made man. What an ingrate!

In fact, his Dad headed one of America's largest corporations. George Romney was Governor of Michigan, a US Presidential candidate, and a Cabinet official under Nixon. In other words, Mitt is a silver-spoon brat, born on third base, who thinks he hit a triple. All his life Romney wealth & family connections greased Mitt's way. His privileged upbringing included private Cranbrook School for Boys, Stanford & Harvard. In 1966 at age 19 he went to France as a Mormon missionary, avoiding U.S. military service and the Vietnam war. Mitt subsequently worked hard - but his career as a businessman-speculator was built on a wealthy home life, family connections, luck & privilege.

But that's not why Mitt Romney's an asshole. He's quickly irritated by us proles. He's wholly supportive of speculators, bankers and corporate gamblers, while scorning normal people. We need a nation where jobs pay a living wage. Willard Mitt Romney cuts your full-time salary to the bone and then chuckles at your pain. We'd be fertilizer if he could manage it. He's a jackal.

Regime Change

Israel, the USA, and their satellite governments failed imposing new UN sanctions on Syria. Now chest-pounding & bleating about violence & death, they ignore similar outrages by allies. Don't be fooled. The Great Satan threatens the world constantly, and Occupied Territory is everywhere. Retake the Good Life!

Peace & Calm

Peace in the midst of strife. Calm in the throes of struggle. Ability to refocus & "will to chill" are prerequisites to sustained effort & ultimate success.

Enjoy the path.

Transaction Tax

A financial transaction tax would calm rampant machine trading and defuse otherwise unlimited speculation. Our homes and jobs and communities should not be used as chess pieces for gambling games. Tax them suckers!

Accountability for Murder

Illegality tolerated... criminality unpunished... Political leaders waging dirty wars must be prosecuted & legally sentenced. Without accountability, the wrongs continue.

Don't tolerate crushing local peoples. Lame potential external threats are corporate gambits to justify murder. Genocide was attempted on American Native communities. The crimes by the USA in Vietnam and surrounding nations have never been paid for, and many of the weasel political leaders such as Alexander Haig, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld came back to plague the world again. If we're not haunted by the bloodshed in Iraq and elsewhere, we should weep for huge loss of wealth to military adventurism & waste.

These fuckers raped the world. It's not enough to believe they'll burn in hell. They should be convicted in court, their crimes detailed, and justice administered. Exemption from scrutiny prolongs suffering.

Happy New Year

A new beginning is possible this 2012. Good health & happiness are goals worth working for.

Economic insecurity triggers stress, illness & despair in many people. We will suffer till the population understands they've bought-in to a flim-flam society full of minefields & continued stress. "Let the buyer beware" when purchasing: accountability is poor to non-existent. Work hard at a tough job without a living wage. Turn on TV for force-fed bullshit. Bad scenario.

The pathway to a better world won't be on corporate TV till it's well-trodden old news. You're not alone in pain & insecurity. Born with nothing, we slave to rest. The entitlement systems are warped. The super wealthy, the banks, the military, have taken almost everything. New ideas are twisted as the masses are pushed to fight, slave & die. Good luck finding a better way to live in 2012.

Election Scam USA

Are you a true American, who can vote without trouble? The electoral process in the USA has become horribly corrupted. Democracy as taught in schools is a mirage. Too many people will be turned away from voting. Too many others will never bother to stand in line, to choose the lesser bit of shit as leader. The system could be repaired easily, the outrages of past national elections are widely known. But the distortions don't trouble our tinpot political bosses. The 99% must stand up for democracy, or continue to be shat upon.

Rant Against Arrogance

Too many arrogant bossy Republicans seek to rebrand themselves. They're too often robber barons who've built positions through insider deals & corrupt buyoffs.

They now self-style themselves "job creators" but again the arrogance: take all limelight & grab all profits. Cool communities create & sustain jobs. Entrepreneurs and business owners are vital key contributors, but when they selfishly claim full credit for all & everything it's time to drop any contact with them. These pricks will claim they make the sun shine. Scum.
