What do you think the odds might be as to whether this site is monitored by some government agency? I would say the odds are good. They make us fear Big Brother, but brother is weak like Oz, fundamentally.

cbsunglass commented on the blog post WI-Gov: Plenty Evidence of Walker’s Conduct Demanding Removal From Office
It’s simple. If you piss off enough people to make possible a huge qualifying petition signing, you deserve a recall election. If you might have broken the law, you qualify for impeachment proceedings. Isn’t democracy appropriately applied a bitch for the rich?

Jesus — – What part of O’s affection for Jamie Dimon do you not get? Or is this just an exercise in politics?

cbsunglass commented on the diary post Hopelessly Devoted by David Swanson.
And you know what? All of these accomplishments were so easy for him to accomplish. He appointed the right people and took a Long, long long vacation until it was time to campaign again in May. Well, we all know that Jamie Dimon is the best banker in the world. My question is where will [...]

As you say, technically legal in other frames of reference is FRAUD.

cbsunglass commented on the blog post “Forward” Is Obama’s Newest Attempt at a Campaign Message
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was. Heaven is a place where nothing, nothing ever happens. Here’s to 4 more of the same sauce we unknowingly voted for last time. Glenn Greenwald had agood interview on Sam Seder’s show today. Lots of talk about about O’s complete subservience to the Oligarchy. Yeah, but this time there won’t be a pathetically small stinulus to make things marginally better. We’ll all be traveling to Europe next year, and we won’t even have to leave the house, assuming we can keep up the mortgage payments.

cbsunglass commented on the diary post Avoiding A Debt Ceiling Election Sellout! by letsgetitdone.
lgid, Always the optimist. Quite engrossing analysis and great read. Given O’s track record, I would say he will get re-elected because women will come to his corner, the job structure will crumble during the campaign season and he will cut government spending and then slash the safety net after his re-election because it would [...]

cbsunglass commented on the blog post Woodward and Bernstein Join Rich Tradition of Blaming the Internet for Everything
Were it the case that the mortgage fraud situation was the only scandal that has occurred lately. You know torture, extreme rendition, lying to go to war, electronic evesdropping, assasination of American citizens, indefinite detention . . . hell, I can’t name them all. But, these are crimes that happened in the past and therefore cannot be prosecuted. Only crimes the president or congress think might happen are prosecutable now, especially those elements that would weaken America, like maybe OWS.

But folks, Current TV ain’t all that with or without KO. Just another organ of the Democratic Party. I had hoped CTV would actually become a progressive network.

cbsunglass commented on the blog post Wrapping Up the Supreme Court Arguments on Obamacare
The learned justices of SCOTUS. They think it is better for judges to appoint a president rather than insist the votes be counted. They think corporations are people, in fact very special people with immunity. They think money is speech. Damn right it is. In this country if you have money you have speech, if you don’t, well you’re speechless. And soon we will learn that they don’t think medical personnel and hospitals should have to treat people who can’t pay. In other words, people who are speechless.

There are no bounds to O’s betrayals. The EPA’s recent impacts of fracking cover-up is cosumate demonstration of that.

cbsunglass commented on the diary post Are we there yet? by Watt4Bob.
Way too much msnbc and cnn politics here, not enough focus on the most cogent concern: How do we disrupt the oligarchy and its two political parties.

We should never underestimate the brilliance of the oligarchy and the loyalty of their stooges that keeps the system afloat, at least until the walls come tumbl’n down.

cbsunglass commented on the diary post Diversity of tactics – and uniformity of outcomes by danps.
Graeber’s primary point was that we do not gain by castigating and shunning those that oppose our enemies (the oligarchy). Hedges needs to step back and give this principle its due. There is something to be said for extending sympathy to the devil. The oligarchs will not just give it all up without a fight [...]

cbsunglass commented on the diary post Diversity of tactics – and uniformity of outcomes by danps.
I agree. Graeber’s point was that we do not need to eat other factions that oppose the oligarchy. Hedges does not need to police the anarchists. And, as you say, as we move toward revolution (and we will as the oligarchy stiffens and turns institutional violence on all those that defy their claims to authority), [...]

I would find it pleasing if they just lost all of their assets and ended up in prison for say 20 or 30 or 40 years each. You can keep all of the excess years for next time.
