Sticks commented on the blog post Death By Twinkie: What the Hostess Liquidation Says About Labor and the Economy
Can we cut to the chase and freely allow Capital to shoot workers, after dismembering them and gouging their eyes out?
Drudge nailed it: it’s the workers fault that Hostess will go under.
The only silver lining I see is that, once US oligarchs get all the wealth, and 98% of the national income, they will be finished. Done. Dead. I look forward to pissing on a billionaire’s corpse.

Sticks commented on the blog post Pepper Spray Developer: It Has Become Fashionable to Use Chemicals on People with Opinions
Well, the inventor feels bad. I suppose he’s an engineering or science type, who blew off political science and history classes in college. It’s naifs like him that enable our brutal system to function so well. The State will use any means to coerce, injure or kill its citizens when such pose a threat, even very remote, to powerful elites and institutions, He just gave them another tool for the belt. Would that he and his brethren applied their skills to helping the people, and not authority.

Sticks commented on the blog post Frontline Ignores Most Embarrassing “Cause” of WikiLeaks Leak
The evidence suggests strongly the Apache pilots murdered unarmed and/or non-combatant civilians, including those obviously coming to the aid of the mortally wounded Rueters reporter. The DOD account was a coverup..check the facts. I do think the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan is an atrocity, but that is irrelevant to my points supra. And I’ll make one more about the Collateral Murder video: the US soldier is conditioned by the U.S. imperial prerogatives. After all, we own the world and the majority of Iraqis are non-persons. Maybe the Apache killers could argue those points at the sentencing phase of their war crimes trial.

“If Manning is found to have leaked the cables, he deserves the bulk of responsibility for the leak …”
Manning deserves the bulk of the credit. We will forget for a moment a soldier’s affirmative obligation respecting war crimes (GIs know what these are, even if POTUS’s don’t). We will also forget the national sekurity state’s fetish for classifying information inappropriately. Let’s forget too that whistleblowing is so anti-institutional (read freedom of action for the man/woman of conscience)that, well, all state actors and most Ivy Leaguers can’t abide it. Let’s net forget, ever: Manning has been and is currently being tortured by your fucking government. Responsibility that. -
