EAT THE RICH

Forbes published its new list of global billionaires.
Just about every country represented on it.
ALL you suckers, assholes, morons, idiots READING THIS SUBSIDIZE, WORK AND DIE FOR these bastards, their EXPANSION and THEIR system of theft, exploitation, greed, rape, robbery, pillage, extortion, larceny on a GRAND, humongous, global scale.
Of course, this list is somewhat skewed as to HOW wealth is calculated and accumulated.
People and families like the Rockefeller dynasty, for example, do not rank at the very top, but, they/he/their family is inordinately powerful, represented in overlapping Board rooms and just about everywhere on the globe, domestically, from Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Exxon, very much to Saudi Arabia and the greater Middle East and so on.
They have their sticky financial fingers in just about every pie.
Furthermore, people like Bill Gates, for example, amassed his wealth due to an association with NAZI IBM.
Both the internet and software, developed initially with PUBLIC FUNDS, subsequently became PRIVATELY appropriated and commercialized.
And, of course, people like Mexico's Carlos Slim are attached to Citigroup and drug money laundering, as well as almost ALL others, including the Russian mafia oligarchy.
And, then, people like parasite Soros who speculate on national currencies also commodified, traded, bankrupted and indebted.
They represent only the top tier, so to speak.
Then, are the secondary and tertiary ones just below them and those who work for and serve their masters and reap the crumbs and benefits that fall off their master's table AND IDENTIFY WITH THEM:

For a brief reminder about BOTH Mexican Carlos Slim and others named above, a previous post:

ERIC MASSA

It is extremely rare for me to highlight and subject others to some of the SPECIFIC domestic banalities of evil and degradation that passes for politics and culture in the homeland of United Suckers and Assholes NAZI occupied Citigroup/Exxon/Morgan Obooma Dictatorship.
But, this one time, I thought I would feature something that occurred, still unfolding, this past Tuesday night, March 9, on our electronic media.
Anyone who lives here does not need the following information.
But, for everyone else, IN A NUTSHELL, the interview following occurred on Fox TV with Democratic NY Congressman Eric Massa, who resigned.
Massa's OUTSPOKENNESS caused a controversy and scandal.
EVERYONE, I ASSUME, whether or not they live here, has some idea whom and what Rupert Murdoch's Fox TV station represents.
I do NOT need to explain that fact, I hope.
The interview below is being spun by EVERYONE.
And, I do mean everyone.
It is important to realize the following interview was broadcast live in prime time.
Since it happened in real time, NOT taped, it was NOT edited and sanitized.
Thus, it caught Glen Beck, Fox interviewer, OFF GUARD.
Beck's job is to SPIN, which he did as best he could.
I recommend you NOT focus on Beck.
Beck is NOT the point of my post.
Actually, it is amusing to me to watch HOW Beck, a Fox ideologue, squirms and attempts to control, alter, spin the message IN REAL TIME when he realizes what is being said is NOT the message they/he wanted or expected to hear.
It was out of their/his control.
Normally, ALL MEDIA here, print, electronic, is a choreographed, orchestrated dance.
So, this is why the spontaneity that occurred is so rare.
For that reason, when I heard it was to happen, I WATCHED IT MYSELF in real time.
The important person on whom to focus is MASSA and what HE says about the realities of politics here and SINGLE PAYER health care.
Basically, all Massa did was let the cat out of the bag to say the Emperor Has No Clothes.
Nothing beyond that.
Nothing sensational.
But, when one lives in a NAZI political house built upon carefully constructed Big and Little Lies, deception, self-deception, a Wizard of Oz world, one crack, one hole threatens, as THEY see it, to bring the entire edifice crumbling down around them.
Thus, EVERYONE, all Democratic political hacks, ideologues, apologists, culture warriors, etc., have come out of the woodwork and FOCUSED on the sexual aspect and titillation of Massa's story but NOT the other parts.
This is where and how SPIN and DAMAGE CONTROL comes in, takes over and covers the exposed crack, leaking hole, in the fictional political edifice.
It even has gone as far as a popular comedy, satirical program, like Jon Stewart's Daily Show, for example.
I do NOT watch these programs, but, I am aware of it since I did some searches on the internet.
Stewart, by the way, was an AVID supporter of Obooma.
He makes me sick.
They ALL are putrid, rancid, parochial, provincial, hypocritical sanctimonious apologists and scumbags.
They do not even know how dumb they are.
They believe they are smart and pat themselves on the back for being so clever.
Anyway, I am posting the interview following because I thought it nicely ILLUSTRATES the realities of domestic politics and banality here.
The interview is posted on youtube in 6 parts.
The first part is just below and the second part follows.
From the second link just below the first one, you can follow along the numbered segments on the right hand sidebar on youtube to part 6 and the end.
YOU DECIDE FOR YOURSELVES, rather than the spin meisters telling you what to think:

PART ONE:

GREEK STRIKE and A REMINDER

Abundant reports and photos emanating from today's Greek General Strike available on the many websites/blogs I listed previously.

I chose out of all the photos available ONLY this one below because it represents to me a VERY IMPORTANT POLITICAL statement regarding class solidarity.
It is from Athens Indymedia website, which has much more, along with:

http://libcom.org/news/battle-ground-athens-second-general-strike-leads-pitched-battles-11032010

AND:

www.occupiedlondon.org/blog

Below today's photo, in contrast, I juxtaposed a REPRINT from a September, 2008 post I did which is JUST as true, and, more so now, as then, prior to our predetermined, NAZI Citigroup/Exxon/Morgan Presidential Fuhrer, Hitler Youth Rallies and s-election in November, 2008:
από απο 5:47μμ, Πέμπτη 11 Μαρτίου 2010

A recap from my September 28, 2008 post:

A SHORT, by no means comprehensive, list of what we will NOT get from ANY of the twin Fascist Parties:

NO universal, single payer health care, whatsoever.
NO expansion, nationalization and public ownership of ANY of our worthwhile productive assets, heavy industries and natural resources.
NO guaranteed, expanded, universal, free, comprehensive lower and higher education program.
NO small tax, (.0001, that's 4 digits after the decimal point, for example), on every single financial transaction of private stocks and shares sold and bought on any and all stock markets throughout the US. (This, alone, would generate ENORMOUS monies based on volume traded every day).
NO guarantee of a full employment economy, based on all of the above and a reduced work week plus early, voluntary retirement.
NO guaranteed annual income.
NO guarantee of our limited, Social (in)Security quasi-retirement insurance system, it's expansion and monetarization beyond it's present pauper status, and, correspondingly,
NO diminution or end to our Fascist union/labor policies to recycle and invest their workers pension monies into private, multinational, profit making, corporations.
NO nationalization of ALL industries related to defense and certainly, in conjunction,
NO decrease in our privatized, highly, lucrative, profitable Defense Industry, completely, 100% financed by working class taxpayer monies.
NO comparable decrease, withdrawal of global, military bases and expenditures throughout the globe, whose sole purpose is to expand and defend private capital, such as Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, et.al.
NO elimination of all personal income tax for individuals, couples, families, with combined incomes less than $50,000 and a GRADUATED, FLAT tax rate on combined income over $50,000. NO deductions, NO itemization.
NO nationalization of our money supply and elimination of our PRIVATIZED, Federal Reserve system.
NO increase in the minimum wage to a decent living standard.
NO permanent elimination and prohibition of the many and numerously flavored, speculative, manipulative, abstract, exotic financial tools, such as short selling, derivatives, hedge funds, etc., which is one of the main reasons for our present liquidity crisis. As a matter of fact, they will be expanded throughout the globe and particularly the Middle East.
NO offshore funds, corporations, ownership and tax havens.

I repeat, the above is just for starters.
Whenever and wherever you see "NO," above, substitute the reverse policy and you will have a good idea of what we presently have and will continue to get.

GREECE, LABOR, IRAQ, SYRIA

First of all, Iraq.

It matters not who "wins" NAZI OCCUPIED Iraq's bullshit, contrived s-election process and "democratic" window dressing sideshow.
Allawi is the US predetermined, preferred Iraq PM candidate and Maliki, Shahristani are out.
They WILL FIGHT over this, no matter what the outcome of their bogus, contested Quisling election.

The above represents an intractable, imperialist conundrum I have been following all along which THEY, themselves, created in the first place, and, as such, it will ESCALATE like all other class and imperialist contradictions.

So, bombs ahoy!

By extension, NAZI created Aryan Iran's simultaneous CEASELESS internal covert battle to unseat their present Mullah regime and Ahmadimoron and his Revolutionary Guards will escalate to insure the ABOVE happens.
The diplomatic shuffle towards these ends continues unabated.

ONE out of MANY such examples.
Global maneuvering is too extensive for me to itemize:

Iran Sanctions:

http://www.petroleumworld.com/storyt10030901.htm

Back in Greece, more developments AND some discussion towards the end/bottom about circumventing corrupt, collaborative trade union leadership.
More to say about this very CRUCIAL matter after this link (with further GREEK updates at this same website):

http://www.occupiedlondon.org/blog/2010/03/09/209-updates-for-march-7-and-8-in-english-und-auf-deutsch/

And now for a more extensive analysis of Greek COLLABORATIVE Labor Union leadership:

http://anasintaxi-en.blogspot.com/2008/01/pame-at-service-of-capital-divisive-and.html

This is a HUGE subject and corrupt labor leadership CAN NEITHER be ignored, circumvented and/or dismissed.
At the heart, it is the central CORE of the OBSTACLES, problem.
They/it MUST BE CHALLENGED, CONFRONTED, exposed, displaced, replaced, overthrown, abandoned, abolished and/or new unions and leadership established.

The existential ROOT political/economic CONTRADICTION, HERE, in United Suckers and Assholes Alice in Wonderland NAZI Citigroup/Exxon/Morgan Obooma Dictatorship lay in organized labor's CONTINUED INVESTMENT into and support of the NAZI Democratic Party AND their institutional labor pension fund investments into those same PRIVATE CORPORATIONS whom they supposedly oppose!!

CONTROL over institutional allocation of monies, resources, manpower, labor and policies is CRUCIAL!!
And, the FASCIST, NAZIS KNOW IT!
Which is why labor unions here have been systematically purged of PRINCIPLED political opposition in a leadership position and thus is labor "controlled."

Correspondingly, on an international level, "they," that is, our 1947 NSA, (National Security Act), our official NAZI anti-Communist institutionalized State organs, subsequently created the anti-Communist ILO, International Labor Organization, to counteract the WFTU, the Communist dominated World Federation of Trade Unions, and NOW a newly minted international labor union, ITUC, (Int'l Trade Union Confederation) about which I formerly wrote regarding Turkish intervention.

AND Iraq's former umbrella labor organization and WFTU affiliate was dismantled, now attached instead to the ILO, as well, our BOGUS, covert CIA labor front operation, US Labor Against War.

Previously at their disposal was our covert, CIA, labor lackeys, Solidarity, in Poland, to help dismantle the USSR.

For my previous post about ITUC formation and role, see the following:

http://karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2010/02/infiltrated.html

The above explains why NOT ONE WORD of recognition, support, and/or solidarity exists STILL, YET, HERE for Partisan Greek labor from our official NAZI labor leadership, their mouthpieces, organs, State and CIA front organizations, manufactured Left and Opposition, NAZI AFL-CIA and SEIU labor collaborators.
Instead, the above labor whores, pimps, prostitutes ALL STILL ACTIVELY subvert a UNITED FRONT FOR NATIONAL SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE, not to mention support for TAXPAYER subsidies, bailouts and bogus stimulus packages to those same PRIVATE corporations who bankrupt and indebted US ALL to THEM!

As well, denial and collaboration about Iraq, Iran, the greater Middle East and privatization EVERYWHERE on the globe.
Instead, our criminal labor thugs march around in organized, staged PR events protesting this or that, patting themselves on the back, while ALL the hypocritical ENABLING POLICIES ABOVE REMAIN INTACT and NOBODY CHALLENGES them about/on it, except, of course, for people like those below at NUHW who are ATTEMPTING to break the chains, the straight jacket, that bind and mold them and us all:

www.nuhw.org

Finally, I could not resist posting the following about Morgan Stanley and Syrian Banking.
It follows my previous link about EFG-Hermes and a Syrian Investment Fund.
I really Laughed Out Loud, chuckled, gasped when I read it.
This is a prime example of "democracy expanding":

To ALL my greater Middle East friends, including Israel, buy, better yet, steal, some bubbly champagne, have a party and toast your growing, new found freedom and liberation IN THE FOLLOWING WAY:

ISRAEL RETROSPECTIVE: DANKNER, NIMRODI, FISCHER

I thought I would take a momentary detour, side trip, today, to highlight, update some recent NAZI Zionist PRIVATIZATION developments continuing from previous entries.

In April, 2009 I did a post regarding a conflict at Israel's Bank Hapoalim between Citigroup Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer versus Danny Dankner.
So, here's the latest on that.
The winner, of course, FISCHER:

http://www.globes.co.il/serveen/globes/docview.asp?did=1000544037

And, here is the post to which I refer above as a refresher:

http://karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2009/04/israel-dankner-hapoalim-and-iran-swiss.html

Meanwhile, in Israel's Egypt/Gaza/Lebanon/Palestine Authority gas wars, another winner.
Nimrodi.
By the way, I hope everyone notices it was NOT until privatization that anybody developed and fought over offshore gas in Israel which everybody previously KNEW existed:

http://www.globes.co.il/serveen/globes/docview.asp?did=1000545160&fid=942

Now, for alittle reminder, refresher about Nimrodi, a previous post I did from 2005. Actually, it is a reprint from a 1994 article:

http://karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2008/11/from-august-2005-khashoggi-and-gaza.html

Finally, in accordance with the above, I thought I would add just one more article about Israel's ongoing port privatization, which, of course, is integral to the above economic development:

http://www.globes.co.il/serveen/globes/docview.asp?did=1000545490&fid=942

And, the beat goes on..and on...and on...yadda, yadda...in Iraq, Iran, the greater Middle East, etc.

GREECE and the MIDDLE EAST

The following FACTS from the Middle East speak PLAINLY enough for themselves in conjunction with Greek events.

"Egypt Plans To Sell Up To US$1.5 Billion Eurobonds, Says Finance Minister."
Excerpt below. MY emphasis in BOLD. Link follows:

"...The ministry hired Morgan Stanley and HSBC Holding Plc to lead the bond sale, according to two people with direct knowledge of the deal who spoke to Bloomberg on condition of anonymity because the details haven’t been made public..."
FROM:

HERE

http://www.bi-me.com/main.php?id=43841&t=1&c=125&cg=4&mset=1031

In case you have short memories and cannot remember one day to the next and certainly not past events from WWII, a few refreshers from some recent previous posts I did regarding all above and below:

HERE

http://karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2010/03/brief-reminder.html

I continuously predicted, forecast, a predetermined, prearranged, preordained Iraq s-election process, like here, with Allawi replacing Maliki as Iraq PM, a Morgan Stanley/Exxon/Citigroup/Deutsche Bank/Hamid Jafar/Abraaj/Dana Gas/Crescent Oil/EFG-Hermes circular NAZI Dictatorship and more imperialist infighting and war.

So, what will the numskulls and morons EVERYWHERE else say, do next?
ALL those stupid, ignorant, fucking assholes, suckers, slaves, supine doormats, collaborators, appeasers!!
Especially those who pontificate most about theory WITHOUT FACT and whose job it is to deny, obfuscate both fact and reality.

GREEK ROUNDUP

I rounded up for future reference and brevity the eclectic sources and/or articles I posted previously about Greek events since they are constantly unfolding, changing and updated on the websites/blogs below.
See my earlier posts.

Be aware, there is a certain amount of duplication and cross reference. Also, the Comment Section SOMETIMES offers good insight and further links.
These are all NON-commercial links I have discovered in ENGLISH.
The rest, so to speak, "is Greek to me," unless it is a standard, commercial English language publication.

The first link, garizo.blogspot, has current photos of MANOLIS GLEZOS AND A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY of GLEZOS which I did not find anywhere else underneath the current photos.
That is why I linked to it.
The current photos appear elsewhere, but, not the GLEZOS biographical sketch.
I highlighted MANOLIS GLEZOS in earlier Greek events of DECEMBER, 2008.
I will LINK to a MUCH BETTER, long interview with MANOLIS GLEZOS from DECEMBER 2008 as a FOOTNOTE at the BOTTOM of today's entry:

NOT ONE FUCKING WORD ABOUT GREECE OUT OF ANYONE'S MOUTH HERE!!

Greek events unfold and constantly updated from links I have provided in my earlier posts, such as, for example:

HERE

www.occupiedlondon.org/blog

Meanwhile, NOT ONE FUCKING WORD OF RECOGNITION, SUPPORT, SOLIDARITY to the HEROIC, PRINCIPLED ACTIONS OF GREEK LABOR PARTISANS FROM OUR INSTITUTIONAL, ORGANIZED CLASS REPRESENTATIVES, UNIONS, NAZI COLLABORATORS and their STATE DEPT MANUFACTURED OPPOSITION and ERSATZ LEFT!!
A DEAFENING SILENCE.
LIKE IRAQ!!

You make me sick, vomit, nauseous!
You ARE the dregs of humanity!!
Along with your groveling, smug, sanctimonious, arrogant little smirking CIA asshole and slave boy in the White House who trots out on stage like a dog on a leash accompanied by his corporate pay masters, handlers!
And, then, those above give the NAZI Jewish slave boy, pimp, whore in the White House a veneer of legitimacy.
You ARE HUMAN SHIT, garbage, refuse, detritus!!
Not a shred of dignity and/or principles remain.
Only deeper capitulation, humiliation, acquiescence, compromise, go along to get along, AT ANY HUMAN COST, ANY PRICE to save your miserable, stinking, little asses.
Bought off and purchased by trinkets, trifles.
Sell anyone and everyone off and down the drain, including your own mother, if necessary, a pound of flesh for a two bit, forgettable, unmemorable, banal, bullshit career, compensation or reward.
YOU STINK!! You smell to high heaven!!

See my earlier post/s below about Greece and Iraq...

URGENT GREEK ALERT!!!

Do not have time for more than the following at the moment.
The link, below, segues into, introduces, the SECOND one.
First:

HERE

http://johnhelmer.net/?p=2790

Then.
Please note.
TWO further important LINKS, #2 and #3, in COMMENT SECTION UNDERNEATH the following update:

HERE

http://www.occupiedlondon.org/blog/2010/03/05/204-they-say-austerity-we-say-fight-back-government-gazette-hq-and-ministries-occupied/#comments

And, then, see my previous posts below regarding Iraq, Middle East.

There is a virtual news blackout and/or total fiction, spin, propaganda, garbage, here, on almost everything related BOTH to the above and below!

IRAQ FIASCO

Let's first set the stage surrounding Iraq's CURRENT episode in their enduring "As the Middle East Turns" soap opera with another nice roundup from amongst many others.
And, then, having set the stage with the following, more to be said about this subject:

http://arabwomanblues.blogspot.com/2010/03/iraqi-impasse.html

Now, let's "flesh out" some details a wee bit more to see WHO wins and who loses.

Occupied Baghdad's KEY position, of course, Oil Minister, currently is monopolized by NAZI created Aryan Iran Mullah Sistani's son-in-law, Shahristani.

So, we ALL know the implications on THAT fact regarding Iraq's "change you can believe" and/or, by extension, Iran's criminal government.

Shahrastani has been able to offer ALL the goodies to everyone in the oil cookie jar SO FAR.

He had absolute control, except, of course, for contested energy contracts and revenue authority between Talabani's KRG and central Iraq, Baghdad's Iranian Oil Minister.

And, all those previous oil contracts Shahristani "raffled, auctioned off" presently, once again, are in limbo, contested, retracted, in doubt, whatever, including Royal Dutch Shell, China, etc.

Next.

Previously, I have highlighted the "all in the happy family" relationship between PROMINENT Dhia Jaafar (Jafar), Director General of Iraq's South Oil Company, AND his brother Hamid Jaafar (Jafar) of UAE based DANA GAS/CRESCENT OIL/ABRAAJ octopus fame, in turn, connected financially to/with Egypt, Egypt's EFG-Hermes, Egypt and Israel EMG Gas, Dana Gas in Kurdistan, Yemen, Pakistan, and, by extension, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, their First Persia Fund circle, etc.

So, Jafar's control is NOT threatened by ANY subsequent Iraq or Iran arrangement, including a shift to an Allawi, Mashhadani Baghdad government and the end of Mullah Sistani/Ahmadimoron/Revolutionary Guards/Sadr, etc.

And, now, the following report to add more to the preceding information, above, coupled with the link from which I started at the top:

http://www.roadstoiraq.com/2010/03/04/preparing-the-army-for-the-post-election-shiite-shiite-war/

I can't help paraphrasing the above, as some others do, the Iraq/Iran Shit-Shit War.
Jokes aside, another interesting development in this context regarding Turkey.
The Congressional US lower House just voted another resolution about Turkey's so-called Armenian Genocide.
It's featured prominently in the Turkish media.
Now, what is their purpose??
Only one I can imagine.
Pressure on their/our ALLY, Turkey's NAZI AKP and PM Erdogan, ALLIED WITH AHMADIMORON, to DECOUPLE themselves.
This is true as well of Syria, which WILL happen because EFG-Hermes just set up a Syrian investment fund.

I WARNED A WHILE BACK in a previous post when two-bit, fleabag and thug NAZI Sadr began his shenanigans in Iraq, EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH NAZI IRAN'S AHMADIMORON WILL GO DOWN HOLDING HANDS TOGETHER SINGING KUMBAYA!
And, so they will.
But, NOT the OTHERS.
They represent POSSIBLE WINNERS.
They are the contenders in this boxing match, to paraphrase Marlon Brando, "On the Waterfront."
They are a/the GLOBAL financial NAZI nexus, if you prefer the term, conspiracy, for whom ALL are fighting, dying, subsidizing, etc.
THEY REPRESENT A GLOBAL NAZI DICTATORSHIP, CONGLOMERATE, MONOPOLY, CARTEL.
They dominate the government both here and abroad.
Which is why I said a long time back, no upstart, two bit, moronic NAZI Islamic Iranian contender is a match for the long, broad, historic reach and penetration of the above scumbags and their international partners.

And everyone made possible this sickening, nauseating NAZI reality and nightmare who helped justify, collaborate, undermine, eliminate and attack the ONLY historical source that ever stopped the NAZIS dead in their tracks, the USSR.

Finally on the above despondent note, I will add just a footnote link regarding EFG Hermes to which I referred above which mentions their new Syrian Private Investment Fund within the text:

GREEK PM DECLARES "STATE OF WAR", MARCH 16 GENERAL STRIKE

First, a juicy tidbit about militant Greek labor action, highlighted especially for United Suckers and Assholes, since they INTENTIONALLY live in the political and labor Dark Ages, thanks to their unions and Democratic Party:

http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_politics_100004_02/03/2010_115298

Then, regarding the March 16 Greek General Strike, timed to coincide with a significant EU meeting.
Two reports with much more info.
First:

http://anasintaxi-en.blogspot.com/2010/03/greek-public-sector-union-to-strike.html

And, then:

http://libcom.org/news/state-war-declared-greek-pm-02032010

Meanwhile, Turkey's military remains under constant attack for opposing Turkey's TRAITOROUS, NOTORIOUS, HUTHALA, SCUMBAG NAZI AKP DICTATORSHIP which, in turn, continues selling out and off ALL Turkey's assets.
I wholeheartedly, unabashedly SUPPORT Turkey's military and Turkey's military MUST ACT NOW to take matters into their own hands.
This time, below, my favorites are lumped together in one article, Citigroup, Akbank and their affiliated partners in crime, Egypt's EFG Hermes:

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=istanbul-hires-citi-efg-and-ak-for-sale-of-gas-grid-2010-03-02

Finally, a few choice notes from United Suckers and Assholes NAZI Dictatorship and insecure Homeland.
While generally agreeing with and supporting the group, below, somebody must be drinking some unusual Kool Aid in the rehashed report about Single Payer and Pennsylvania.
I've commented before about Penna Democrat Pinocchio, in particular, and the utter nonsense he proposes regarding Statewide Single Payer.
Anyone who believes the political posturing and garbage these people put out is themselves also nuts.
Pennsylvania is a total, unmitigated, horror, a DISASTER state, always claiming bankruptcy, short of ALL services, etc.:

http://www.singlepayeraction.org/blog/?p=2202

In case you have ANY doubts or illusions about the hypocrisy represented by ALL above our Fascist union leadership plans to throw MANY MILLIONS MORE of their hard earned members dollars into NAZI Democratic Party coffers AGAIN!!.
MY emphasis in BOLD:

"...The AFL-CIO plans to roll out its biggest political campaign ever, surpassing the $53 million spent in 2008 to help elect President Barack Obama, to try to avert a repeat of the 1994 midterm election when Democrats lost a majority in Congress...
....Recent Republican victories in Massachusetts and elsewhere have worried union officials, but unions also see an opportunity to make a populist pitch to voters angered by the government's bailout of distressed banks, an approach that could work against Democrats who voted for it and the Obama administration..."

FROM:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704486504575097970727109164.
html?mod=WSJ_WSJ_US_PoliticsNCampaign_4

Additionally, the ubiquitous "they" are now making obscene noises about destroying the US GOVERNMENT PUBLIC POSTAL SYSTEM and this Democratic schmuck and asshole, Pinocchio, above, waxes eloquent about a non-existent, impossible Single Payer State system, like their previous divisive, diversionary, bogus, red herring, public option advanced by the VERY SAME INTERESTS!

These people are UNPRINCIPLED pathological liars, cynical hypocrites, obstructionist, NAZI collaborators POSING, strutting the world stage, as their opposite.
It occurred to me today a word exists I never previously used and that is CONTEMPT!
They are all CONTEMPTIBLE!
What befalls them they worked hard to earn after so much collusion, collaboration, obstructionism, their raison d'etre, motto, being;
COMPROMISE WITH FASCISM/NAZISM HERE AND ABROAD!
"Let them not just eat but choke on their cake!"

A BRIEF REMINDER

Just in case you happen to have forgotten FOR WHOM everyone fights, dies, finances, subsidizes and WHY, I thought I would update a FEW of the latest out of hundreds, thousands of such articles. First, my favorite, numero uno, except for Morgan, of course, Morgan's pal, Citi, or, Citigroup, in which Saudi Prince Talal is a major shareholder, and their Middle East expansion including, of course, Turkey's former Akbank partnership and acquisition:

http://www.zawya.com/Story.cfm/sidZAWYA20100228075257/Citi%27s%20CEO%20Heads%20a%20Senior%20Delegation
%20to%20the%20Region/

Incidentally, the IMF plans to "LOAN" Iraq's oil and gas, energy and resource rich government, whichever one, but, NO DOUBT, ultimately, Allawi, money! To be expected. Par for the course! And, here's one article below reporting Yemen rallies taking place SIMULTANEOUS to an international "DONORS" meeting.
I guess the slogans are, or, should be, "Let Us In, Let Us In!!
No Closed Door Policy!":
