CRYING OVER SPILLED MILK

So, where are we now??
Waiting for Godot, the other shoe to fall, that is, our escalating, upcoming, spiraling Baghdad/Kirkuk/Iran Middle East explosion and Iraq's electoral exercise in futility, when the shit openly hits the fan, now postponed until February.
And, then, United Suckers and Assholes will discover, finally, they are in WWIII or WWIV.
Meanwhile, back in the insecure Homeland of United Suckers and Assholes, a new union, National Nurses United, is in process of being formed which definitely represents a giant leap forward, since the California Nurses Association, mentioned below, is one of the best and was the ONLY union in the country previously endorsing INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE Ralph Nader's FIRST Presidential campaign.
Of course, at that time, the Calif Nurses Association was NOT affiliated to our national, AFL-CIA umbrella organization.
They, like Ralph, were Independent.
Now, however, the CNA is affiliated with our anti-Communist, anti-Soviet, umbrella, AFL-CIA mafia scumbags.
The ANA, a so-called "professional union," mentioned below, is also shit.
So, this is a nice first step. A start.
But, it is only good, significant IF it changes, challenges current national organized union POLICY in a meaningful way, such as MILITANT, ACTIVE, UNIFIED, INDEPENDENT politics and a divorce away from NAZI Democratic Party policies and their present partnership and expansion of the PRIVATE, corporate, warfare state abroad, their pension fund investments, healthcare, education, industry, transportation, housing, natural resources, etc.
But, organized labor is married to the private corporate state.
To question, challenge, change, invert this basic, fundamental relationship is tantamount to revolution, since it requires a complete, total reformation of national priorities, financial control, emphasis on public as opposed to private economic systems, ownership, divestment, etc.
It demands ISOLATIONISM and a WITHDRAWAL of ALL global forces and military engagements around the world.
I do not foresee such a radical policy CONFRONTATION forthcoming anytime soon.
No, instead, they will all go down first with the NAZI toilet bowl and Ship of State before any meaningful change of the above sort can/will happen.
So, as promised, I will cheerfully sing Hip, Hip Hooray as "our troops" go a marching, a marching off to war to expand private capital and the wealth of the filthy rich, or, high net worth individuals, abroad:

And, then, in honor of Russia's Medvedev/Putin most recent their/his sudden, but, NOT to me, unexpected reversal and collaboration on Iran AND related subject matter, above, I thought I would republish from a previous post I did in
November, 2009, "THEN AND NOW," the following section:

"...I wish to begin with a very, very BRIEF video link, a reminder, juxtaposition of THEN...:

Of course, more exquisitely tortured sellouts and selloffs featured on the above website.

Meanwhile, as for the Middle East, Iran/Baghdad/KRG imperialist mopping up, conundrum, showdown, regime change, congruency scenario, the following events will impact forthcoming regional explosive developments. Note, the appointment and posts, mentioned below, come into effect as of December 1, altho the new EU President is effective January 1, while imperialist jockeying and rivalry for place, advantage, strategic positioning, leverage, continues unabated and unashamed.
Indeed, escalating:
