You mean the Dims who controlled the House under Dragon Lady Pelosi from ’06 to ’08 are blameless? Brownshirts are cool if they have a D on them?

blueokie commented on the diary post See, They Just Didn’t KNOW That the NSA IS Listening to Your Phone Calls by wendydavis.
The reaction on your link is all too typical. The desperation of resorting to legalspeak and character assassination is laughable, a few years ago so many who thought Gonzalez should be frogmarched to court now use the same defense for their tribe. A friend of mine is a counselor, she told me that the more [...]

Since Sandy Hook, 200 times more U.S. citizens have been killed by guns than by terrorism since the Empire’s holiday, 9/11. What, exactly, are we being kept secure from? You have to admire the consistency of the Reaganbushclintonbushobama administration.

Makes you wonder how much longer the population will cling to the idea of a paradigm that no longer, and hasn’t for some time, exist.

blueokie commented on the blog post Going Through the ‘Proper Channels’ to Blow the Whistle on Secret Surveillance Programs
For any of this nonsense to make sense, you have to believe that “terrorism” is an existential threat, which it is not.
The M$M is merely, and obviously, the propaganda arm of the Empire. These decision makers are the telling us that Snowden et.al. is a narcissist and a traitor, while Kim Kardassian is a cultural icon we should all emulate.
The ultimate irony is if you read what UBL was hoping to accomplish with his campaign, you will see that his success is more than he thought truly possible.

blueokie commented on the diary post Clarity from Snowden — But Murky Response from Progressives in Congress by Norman Solomon.
Most of the members of the Progressive Caucus are gerrymandered in, like the rest of Congress, and the term progressive is merely a marketing term, essentially like buying a bag of potato chips, the substance is only 20% of the packaging. Ellison can’t get a majority of his caucus to sign a letter pretending to [...]

blueokie commented on the blog post U.S. To Increase Aid To Al-Qaeda Linked Rebels In Syria
Barry and the PTB must be heavily invested in the natural gas pipeline proposed from the GCC to Europe, as opposed to the one from Iran. Many birds with one stone on this one, Turkey can be rewarded with Syria’s ports, Gazprom can be cut from the equation and Israel can continue is sanctified march to the shores of the South China Sea. And you thought their desire for massive profits from their KXL investments were causing questionable decisions and actions.

1) It invalidates the 4th Amendment. 2) It isn’t just the Federal Government, its also their compadres “Private Contractors” and all of the sub-contractors, do you know who else that involves? 3) It isn’t fighting “terrorism”. 4) The Agir-Cartel, Pipeline companies, and others have bought laws that state that if you do anything they don’t [...]

The only thing Franken has done since he got to the Senate is to reveal himself as a fraud. U of C fascist Snowden has revealed, once again, an institution that is an anathema to anyone who doesn’t believe in the total unbridled authority to the Corporate State. Imagine what the Soviets would have been [...]

blueokie commented on the blog post US Media’s Contempt & Inability to Comprehend What It Means to Be a Whistleblower
Toobin, McArdle, and Kline consistently reveal themselves to be buffoonish swine stenographer/propagandists for the Empire, who’s only concerns are to be constantly invited to the right parties inside the Beltway, pathetically believing that their pride-less toadying makes them an important part of the “insiders”. You can easily imagine these three obsequious parasites sitting at the feet of their mentor, Josef Gobbles, waiting for a pat on the head to affirm their hallucinations of relevance.
What else can be expected in an Empire that depends on successfully selling the illusion of Republic, when the politicians choose their voters and voting machines decide the votes.

blueokie commented on the blog post Edward Snowden, the Washington Post & Whistleblowers
What this story shows is the lack of space between Corporate America and the Government. WAPO, NYT, and most other MSM corporate entities aren’t protecting the Government, or particularly worried about the rights of citizens, they are partners in protecting and advancing the Official Narrative of the Corporate State.
Top shelf Kevin.

Showing my age. Dr. Science was a skit on their radio show lampooning Q & A’s. The questions were absurd and the answers verbose and full of non sequiturs. The tag line ran, “Dr. Science, he knows more than you do, he has a degree in…science!”

Indeed, after the Six Day War when Israel revealed itself to be an imperialistic colonizer and lost the support of most of the world. For more than twenty years they were strong, yet always denied, allies. South Africa was an important customer for Israel’s burgeoning arms manufacturers even to the point of nuclear proliferation.
