Anarchist

Anarchy = state of society without government or law

Anarchist = one who advocates anarchy as a political idea

Washington republican who wants to shut down the government = anarchist

A Train

We have a lot to thank BP - British Petroleum - for. I'll pick three things. Thanks a lot for killing life in the Gulf, thanks for dumping mercury in Lake Michigan, and thanks for selling synthetic marijuana in many of the BP gas stations.

Should there be mandatory clothes clips with chains for adults' cell phones? The problem is - the same people who jump on the third rail to retrieve their phones, would wrap the chain around their necks, or hit themselves in the face, or stuff the chain into their mouths. Should there be a class to teach how to reason while waiting for a train?

Phobia

Dear Mr. President,
   All people of all nations are indispensable. The U.S. government is not exceptional, unless by "exceptional" you mean well-practiced at invasions, renditions, false imprisonment, illegal snooping, stealing, torture and murder.
p.s. You are correct, your own history cannot be overcome overnight. Ditto on our suspicions. We love Brazil!

A vote for a republican is an agreement with the republican party to abolish the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, the EPA, the IRS, the minimum wage, Social Security, the VA healthcare and Obama Care. A vote for a republican is a vote for anarchy. It is an agreement to promote suffering and death among everyone but the extremely wealthy.

Disposable Tissue Instead

Maybe tool was too strong of a word. How about disposable tissue instead?

Pensons Unions Education

From  On the Move #155, page 9:
"The Civic Committee of the Commercial Club of Chicago"
Ty Fahner, President
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 Is It?

Does the U.S. government store chemical weapons under the ground in Colorado and Kentucky? In Colorado, something is coming up out of the ground. Is it 100 year old mustard gas? Is it coming from abandoned but not properly sealed oil wells? Is it emissions from fracking?  Is it plutonium? What would happen if it is plutonium and it settles down into fracking areas? What is it?

They like to build and climb border fences when they aren't hiding in the woods counting their unregulated pork bellies and porkupine interventions. They always hedge their bets.

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.

Barack Obama, 1st time Presidential candidate, said this in 2007: "the President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation."

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.

Worse Than Do Nothing Congress


Public Health is against their religion, but war & invasion & killing
