Questions for Bruce Rauner and his namesake, Rauner College Prep:

Stop Illegally Snooping on Everyone

re: 2014 Federal Budget as proposed by me:
1) my taxes will no longer be given to corporations for illegal
snooping on everyone,
2) my taxes will no longer be used for fighter jets or guns,
3) my taxes will no longer be given as welfare to corporations,
4) my taxes will no longer be used to maintain Guantanamo,
5) my taxes will no longer pay politicians who work against the Common Good,
6) my taxes will no longer be used against me.
Ha!

Why doesn't Edward Snowden want to enjoy 99 years in prison, and why doesn't he want to donate his right to habeas corpus to the D.C. firm of Winken Blinken and Cod? If only the truth wasn't so scarey to the criminal element. And if only the criminal element would stop illegally snooping on everyone.

Notes from a vacationing personage:

Use the pope, don't lose the pope
Hang on to your audacious hope
I won't get brave
Or stop fracking your grave
Or stop being a dope on a rope.

Religious freedom of hate speech
Is the excuse from many a leech
On trap manures
Overcharge for hand tours
Lying is essential to every over-reach.

Remember when we used to be on our way up?
So I generated more wealth for every rich pup
And I created more risk
Can't hack my dot guv disc
Because I inhaled a noodle and it came back up.

Duty and Privilege

Do you agree with the President and his task force who want to completely corporatize all phone records in order to continue surveillance - the nice name for snooping? Most of the time, the greatest threat to the U.S. government is the U.S. government. Even though it makes them very very afraid, talking about the risky and illegal behavior of the government is a citizen's duty and privilege.

What we have learned from this is that I had nothing as usual to do with any of the mistakes, and sometimes things take a long long time to change.

They're About Power

From Edward Snowden's open letter: "These programs [the U.S. government/corporation's indiscriminate worldwide surveillance] were never about terrorism: They're about economic spying, social control, and diplomatic manipulation. They're about power."

Brains AND Feelings

This voice is from Voices at the Chicago Sun-Times, from October or November. Sorry for the vagueness. http://voices.suntimes.com/

"Imagine an apartment building. In one unit lives the police department. In another, the fire department. Teachers in a third unit. For more than a decade these tenants have faithfully paid their rent, knowing that when one of them moves out they will receive their security deposit. The only problem is the landlord (Chicago) hasn't used their rent and his income to pay the mortgage. Instead, the landlord used the money for other pet projects. Now the mortgage is way overdue and the landlord is very short on cash. Clearly, the only solution is to double the rents and reduce security deposits.
   See where I'm going with this?"

Some monopolizing and "lousy" insurance corporations have been working it and working it to get rid of the other quite acceptable insurance corporations. Obama has been such a help to them.

Why Indiana is Thankful 

   Indiana corporate pols sold their integrity to the biggest bribers. Two of the biggest bribers are British Petroleum and the Koch Bros. A small portion of the profits from bribes was used to create a ring of identity thieves and other kinds of thieves. It calls itself some kind of "examiner" or "auditor" or whatever. What a great business! Okay, everybody. Let's be sure to provide our tax records and bank statements and credit card statements. Identities don't get stolen by themselves, you know. And that is why Indiana corporate pols are thankful, and so are the Illinois ones.

"More to the point, the law was intended [my underlining] to cause millions of people to lose their existing plans so they would enter the exchanges."

Tree Stumps

Is Fox any different today than it was 80 years ago? One paragraph from The Secret Life of Tyrone Power (1979, William Morrow and Co, NY):
   "Strength*Quality*Leadership. So ran the studio proclamation when Zanuck [Darryl F. 1902-1979] came into his own there. A questionable aspect of Fox's motto was its second word. In a marginal fashion, the studio began its involvement in World War II as early as 1932, and on the same side as Hitler. Millions of Germans would not have heard his hypnotic oratory if Fox's German subsidiary, Fox-Tonende-Wochenschau, a weekly newsreel, hadn't disseminated propaganda favorable to Hitler in such short films as Der Fuehrer (The Leader) and Hitler's Kampf um Deutschland (Hitler's Fight for Germany). The Fox subsidiary also loaned sound trucks to the Nazis, so that Hitler could speak to the increasing multitudes. The films were screened throughout Germany right before the national elections which led to Hitler's becoming a national factor and which ultimately resulted in his being named German Chancellor in January of 1933."

I think it is different. "Newsreel"?

Dear Mr. President,
   Surprise, surprise. We the People are aware the roll-out of the Affordable Care Act is a  technological failure, unlike your successful techno-campaigns for president. What we say is - you can keep all of your benefits and any coins you find on the ground, if they don't rust by 2016. Communications are only "challenging" when you lie, unless of course you're talking to tree stumps.

They're On The Same Team

This just in: The White House says it violates the law with regularity and also gives preapproved passes for being wealthy to others who violate the law. But hypocrites both in and on top of the White House would be very sad if truthtellers were given clemency. Very sad.
*
So far, how successful is the Affordable Care Act?
For people who are concerned about their health, it has been confusing and frustrating. So, quite a success.
For people who had their jobs taken away and will now have the privilege of spending money they don't have, really successful.
For retired people who like the insurance they already have but will be forced to replace it with the first corporation that came out against healthcare or the other corporation that has several expensive 2 minute commercials and is in league with WalMart, it is very successful.
And who says the D's and R's don't work hard work fast work well together? After all, they're on the same team.

"Speaking the Truth is Not a Crime"

Three Saturday questions:
Are the "security" corporations that work for the governments involved in espionage and terrorism?
Do those same corporations/governments snoop to excess and attempt to intimidate truthtellers?

Not just one wealthy CEO - a whole club of them, working to undermine public employee pensions, weaken unions and privatize elementary and secondary education.
The Civic Committee was a mostly behind-the-scenes source of influence until recently, when it was exposed for pushing to have Illinois' credit rating lowered, all so it could put increased pressure on lawmakers to gut public employee pensions. A lower credit rating also means millions of dollars in increased borrowing costs for the state - costs that fall on the shoulders of taxpayers. And if any of the CEOs on the committee, or the companies they run, hold state bonds, they'd stand to profit from a credit rating downgrade - again, at taxpayer expense."

"Freedom in the Cloud"

From In These Times, the magazine version: ". . . We are facing the shameless cynicism of the representatives of the existing global order who only imagine that they believe in their ideas of democracy, human rights, etc. What happens when a whistleblower exposes this illusion is that the shame, theirs for having been caught deceiving us and ours for tolerating such power over us, is made more shameful by publicizing it."

What I heard in Barack Obama's speech of September 10, 2013:

I choose mediocrity over greatness and that is a shame for all of us. I have a couple of random bits of information which may add up to many different things. I say they add up to Assad. In order to get you people to believe my version of the events of August 21, I will try to cloud your thinking with emotions. Here it is: children got gassed, children were gassed, watch the film of children getting gassed. Children were gassed. Doesn't that make you angry? Doesn't that make you want to bomb something somewhere? The bombing would be between a pin prick and one of my usual drone strikes. Think about it. Think about the children getting gassed. A Congressional vote will have to wait until a majority of minds are clouded with emotion.
Oh, the children.

About

Prez BOB (BanderObamaBush): Assad ordered the use of chemical weapons in Syria at the end of August.

We the People of the World: Someone did. We require you to furnish actual factual proof in order to verify your statement.

P BOB: You should trust me.

US & the W: Why? We repeat, you are required to furnish actual factual proof.

P BOB: I said it. That, and my personality should be enough proof.

US & the W: Your words are only words. They are proof of nothing except your ability to speak out loud.

P BOB: The camera is proof.

US & the W: The camera is only proof that an attack occurred. It is not proof of who ordered it or who paid for it. Who do you want to kill?

P BOB: Even though I said that Assad is guilty, I want to leave him alone. We sell guns to al Qaeda in Syria, so I want to leave them alone. Killing customers is not good business. There are hundreds of groups against Assad. I'm thinking about putting their names in one of my kids' hats and picking a few names out, maybe more.

US & the W: You have changed, and not for the better. Once again, we require you to furnish actual factual proof of your original statement. Have a great weekend.

A Condensed History of Syria



   Syria was settled in ancient times, thousands of years before the birth of Jesus. The name Syria was long used for the present region plus Lebanon, most of Israel and Jordan, and part of northern Arabia. Its first importance was as a trade and military route between Egypt and Mesopotamia. Through most of its history, Syria has been ruled by foreign powers, including the Egyptians, Babylonians, Hittites, Assyrians, and Persians. It was conquered by Alexander the Great and later by the Romans. Christianity came early to Syria; it was on the road to Damascus that St. Paul was converted.

   In the 7th century Syria was conquered by the Arabs, and soon it was converted to MuHammad's religion. Syria was a battleground in fighting between Turks who had conquered much of the land and the Christian Crusaders from Europe. By the early 1500's the Turkish empire controlled all of Syria and held it until World War I.

   After Turkey was defeated in WWI, present Syria and Lebanon were placed under French "protection." The Syrian people did not like French rule, and in 1936, after much freedom fighting, Syria became an independent state in 1939. Then World World II broke out and France retained control over Syria and stationed many troops there. Great Britain and the Fighting French forces of General deGaulle discovered that German planes were using Syria, so they invaded the country and this permitted the Syrian people to proclaim themselves an independent republic in 1941. Syria was one of the original members of the United Nations.

   The history of free Syria has been one of violence and military coups. The history of 21st century Syria teaches that 
global warming is the most recent conquerer.

   If you behave yourself and obey the law and have some respect for the Constitution, you will not become embarrassed and will not get the urge to hurt people. We hope.
Love, one of the people

Echoing wails of man-preyed whales
Ancient tales of vestigial tails
Canvasing sales of canvas sails
Expanded rales about diminishing rails
Desperate pales concealed in pails
Authoritarian males unauthorizing mails
Diminishing hales to expanded hails
Back breaking bales of back breaking bails.

Happy Third Reconstruction!

Whacked Their Own Wacker

Can Senators and Representatives feel embarrassment, and if so, can they feel it for 50 years?

We do not want to pay private corporations to snoop on US.

Shut up and pay the bill.

Are you spending our own money against US?

Of course.

Four Presidents went wild in the Capitol.
One was a grin master with smile sustainability, two are bushrangers - one hairless and one very clean, and one is a disappointment to the earth and its brothers. All made life in our world much more dangerous. Despite ads to the contrary, we figured the four were not really people persons.

Three Feet of Clay

Dear John McCain: Every time you tell a lie, every time you are a hypocrite, you will see the face of Colonel Day. Then you can thank him for saving you for this higher calling.

It's hard to miss him when he won't go away
Having years of practice keeping reality at bay
Ever the hot dog

Dysfunction beyond price in his 3 feet of clay.

What is That About?

"Edward Snowden's father says he should stay in Russia", The Telegraph
Lon Snowden, father of Edward, in an interview with the AP said: "He now thinks his 30-year-old son is better off avoiding the U.S. if possible until an administration that respects the Constitution comes into office."

The littlest people are the effete "elite"

So kiss our little robot.

Ever so grateful for the great American education they received at MIT, Chuck and Dave now spend money to ensure the rest of US will not be as fortunate. What is that about?

Introduced himself at the meet and greet
Beloved by life's breath

Will citizens unite to work our freedom and radioactive wastewater into benzine toilet products for ALEC's patooties? Will we conceal our weapons in the employee bathroom, if we are allowed to have a bathroom? Will we vote to give up eating and good health and any future votes? Who will keep US secure from the Kochs and the Bushes and the Cheneys?

The Bundle of Sticks

The government no longer wants to perform its security functions. So it hired a private info-mafia firm ultimately owned by a questionable but wealthy former government employee. The private company is privy to blackmailable and politically useful information on everyone everywhere, that is, everyone everywhere. Profit is the company's motive and it directs itself - without government oversight - to that end. Unwise shortcuts and cheating and crimes are the everyday norm. The you-know-what hit the fan because an honest person and recent employee could not abide the shocking criminality, and told the truth to the world. Who will be blamed for the "disturbing implications" of the government bundled with private business in an alliance against the People?

*

If only the toxic super rich were more self-reliant. If only they personally built all of their own houses. If only they made their own pillows and socks. If only they made their own canapes and apertifs. If only they made their own airplanes and cars and boats. Do we have to do everything for them?

*

As the first white person to get a mental memo about fear and hatred being dead and stinky, John Roberts was later strongly informed that voting is as crucial to a functional democracy as clean water is to a cholera-free world.

Dear New York:
If you elect the Weiner, you already know he puts the city and his family and his goals last after his addiction. He will need an office space without access to the internet or cell phones. He will need an all male staff. He will need a look alike stand in for all those times he is busy doing what he always does. When he has choices to make between his job or his addiction, you know what he will choose. Does voting for him make sense? You decide.

How are the Olympic Games and Washington politicians alike?

They are both corporate-sponsored.

How are they different?

They play different games.
The Olympic Games are sports competitions which began in about 1453 bc as memorial services to honor heroes.
Washington politician games began over three thousand years later in order to make laws, and now they play unfairly and unwisely to obstruct progress.

Hi. MayoRahm here. I jumped on the political clown train early on to grab your money and waste it on fluff. That is who I am. Scapegoating senior citizens who are selfish enough to need their pensions for food and medicine and shelter is what we professional hangers-on are doing today. We have our orders. The clown train is my life, People! Why do you keep paying attention?

Do you prefer the original filibuster which requires an adult with words, or the new republican philly-buster which requires little or nothing plus a big sandwich?

We Are Still Great

Our taxes go to bribes called "subsidies" for the super rich (i.e. fossil parasites, chemistry leeches, other corrupters, etc.) which go to bribes called "lobby" money for the super rich, which go to sorry,

The Skulk and Boss Crone Society, a secret brotherhood of squirrel and vermin hoarders, break into homes - any homes any time - and peep in underwear drawers. But that's just them. The rest of US are working on a better rodent trap.
*
Being their own worst enemies, super rich thieves did some oppositional research on themselves, just to see if all the rumors were based on facts. So they each spent a minute or maybe two on self-study, 15 hours on self-enrichment, an hour of self-massage, then a good night's sleep. The next day was devoted to capitalizing on fake disasters and extorting people in their 80's. The self-report came back a minute before sunset: We are still great.

In a post "coo" (coup d'etat) US, if by coup I mean the illegal change of government that took place in the winter of 2000/2001, lies are sold as truth and truth is mocked with fear. War is peace and private corporations snoop because danger lurks everywhere because of the coup. The ocean can't protect US and we don't protect the ocean. We have double standards and triple threats. Four billion honest people are looking for a lantern in the dark. And the summer of 2013 isn't even half over.

The Fourteenth Amendment was ratified into law on July 9, 1868, 145 years ago.
XIV Amendment, Section 1: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

The US government corporation says doing harm is really great, as long as it is a kept secret. The US government corporation says talking about the harm hurts its delicate ears and causes generalized whining in the back of its throat. Boo hoo.

Profit Above All

 

"Malala Yousufzai calls on governments to provide free education for all" by Amanda Holpuch, the guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jul/12/malala-yousafzai-calls-free-education
Meanwhile, the US government says education should cost more. Double the student loan rates!

A little bit about a little bit:
If WalMart has 1.2 million employees and it has at least one manager for each of its approximately 9000 stores worldwide and 6 thousand of the 9000 get promoted from within, each of its store clerks has 1 chance out of 200 to get a promotion. So what are the odds of promotion?

WalMart has a standard. Abuse and neglect of contractors and employees is SOP. Name-calling goes too far and will not be tolerated.

If WalMart "embraced Obamacare" for the profit of its pharmacies and not for the humanity of its employees, what are the odds a majority of its store clerks get insurance from their employer?

Dear George Zimmerman, To judge by your actions of the last 6 years, about every 2 months you make yourself very afraid of a Black person and then call the police. Can you force yourself to not hurt anyone? Ever again?
*
The US government corporation IS a propaganda platform.
Edward Snowden IS a whistleblower.
Freedom of Speech IS a right of all humans.

The US government corporation has an unhealthy interest in snooping on everyone. It will lie and bully and blackmail and humiliate, whatever it takes to secretly continue its morbid obsession for profit above all.

This just in:
The current AG of US said he'd say whatever words it took to pacify journalists who asked, What about the rest of the People? Words are words, said the AG, such as "probable cause" "search warrants" "innocent until proven guilty" "freedom of speech" "no more probing this and probing that" "respect" "whistleblowers" "law" and "who, US?" The President added, When we are sneaks and liars to get along in our own country and in the rest of the world, it might be a good idea to spend a certain amount of quality time on introspection to figure out and correct ourselves. Self-correction is more prudent than brain self-surgeries. I'd welcome a discussion on that. I would.
