When Leaders Lie.

So a little more than a year after the Democratic party elects a new, hopefully, insightful, better equipped Presidential Leader, then the last two arrogant morons, do we find out that once in office they are all the same. They all give powerful, Patriotic speeches to prove their worthiness. They all tell us that they will lead us to the promised land of a perfect, and not so perfect Nation. They all Bullshit their way into office with lies that can hardly be comprehended. Yet, we vote them in office anyway.
Once in office the door is wide open to graft, bribery, corruption, and unimaginable wealth just for the taking.
Case in point, our current President. I voted for him thinking that he was different. That he is above the greed that rules Washington. That his sense of ethics would rule the day and finally put the "BUM's" on notice.
I was completely wrong!
He is just like the rest of them. Self serving, ego gratifying, mouthpiece for Corporate Greed.
Change?
No Change, only more of the same.
No conviction, only compromise so that in the end American citizens lose again.
Washington is all rigged and gamed to allow the show to take place and placate the viewer into thinking, believing and hoping that there is somebody out there thinking about them.
But there isn't!
Washington is for itself.
Today on Huffington Post, and in the New York Times both Arianna Huffington and Frank Rich reiterated exactly where America stands today with the false notion, and flimsy selling of mass marketed products including Politicians, Sports figures,  and Financial Success.
They all cheat!
It is all a sham, and quit shameless.
What do we do next?
Either we accept this, as we have done for the past 60 years or?
What do you think?

Just another day in America.

Tuesday morning in San Diego in what to most of the other States what be considered  mild Spring weather conditions is going to be a beautiful day here. The Sun is out, and by 11:00 am it will be in the 70's, short pants temperatures. One would never know that there are problems in the World living here. We are insulated by geography, economy, weather, and State of mind. When I drive down to the beach this morning there are no soup lines, no homeless on the streets, barely a foreclosed home or bank repo. sign visible anywhere. No demonstrators marching in the streets. Nothing, no sign of problems anywhere.

Yet America has ongoing two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, an economy that has all but collapsed unless, you are a Wall St broker, Banker, or manufacturer of Military components. Today as we see everyday Washington Politicians banter about professing to know what is good for all of us non-privileged citizens, as they loot the country, take bribes openly from any Corporation that hands them out, while professing that they work so hard at their jobs, and yet again not much gets done. Remember those "Green" jobs that were talked about during the Presidential election? While Congress and the Senate do nothing but fill their own car trunks with buckets of stolen cash, China, and India are making solar panels, wind turbines to sell back to us numb-skulls to buy  in the USA. Kinda like what we see with Wal-Mart now. The markets will be flooded with low cost/ cheap products before we even start to make our own in competition.

The Financial markets, the Banks, and Wall St. are back to their old greedy ways of gambling, buying influence in Washington to kill any type of reform.

Big Pharmacy, the same thing, buy Politicians to kill any reform that allows consumers to have choice, and a lower cost product. Just last night there was a commercial and there are many every night with a product for sleeping through the night, and  at the end of the commercial came the disclaimer, this product can cause "Death" and in some case "Suicide" !!!

Pot, marijuana has never killed a Human being in the History of Humanity, but legal Drug companies can sell this type of shit on the market that kills it's users faster than cigarettes?

And, this has the approval of the FDA on top of it. WOW!

We are now surging again in Afghanistan to appease Corporate sponsors, republicans, and the Military Industrial complex that will cost American taxpayers another $50 Billion a year in "Blood" money. We get nothing in return except a few more parades for the returning dead soldiers, and more photo opportunities for spineless, cowardly Politicians who would never fight in any war, anywhere, including right here in America.
Most every State now is close to bankruptcy, unemployment is still rampant, no jobs being created anywhere, but life goes on.
Today will be a nice day in San Diego, the Chargers are on a 8 game winning streak, the Sun is shinning,
garbage is being collected on time, and I have not a care in the World.

Politicians, the most corrupted people in America.

Today I read in the Huffington Post with Paul Reickhoff as one of the leading spokes persons for the American Veterans, that the Washington politicians have not voted yet for the budget for the Veterans Administration that ended on September 30, 2009. But that these same politicians voted to make sure they got paid and gave themselves a pay raise!

These same politicians that created the Bush/ Cheney wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, that sent your Sons, Daughters, Mothers and Fathers to harms ways, and possibly to their death, these same bums that lied to the American public about the implications of war and why it needed to happen made sure that they got paid first and make the Service men and women of our Country, the ones in war right this very minute don't get the funding they need!

Knowing that there has been more than 5,000 service persons deaths, knowing that there are 40,000 men and women right now in V.A. Hospitals across the USA trying to recover from being wounded in battle from these two wars alone, and 100,000's of other Vets from previous wars , knowing that there are now thousands of Veterans homeless living on the streets of America, knowing that they want to extend Military tours, knowing that they want to ratchet up fighting in Afghanistan and invade Iran. Knowing that all men and women in service who go to war will be changed forever because of what they are asked to do and what they see and experience. Knowing all this, These politicians in the Senate and Congress still made sure that they, these brown nosing, cowardly  greedy bastards paid themselves first!

This is an insult to every person who has  served or is serving  now in the US Military.

You fucking, self serving, spineless bunch of  shameless Jackasses!

When will this greed and corruption come to an end.

 It is not enough to know that these bums cheat on their wives and get caught all the time, that they cheat on America by fleecing the country through their criminal voting records, but to know that they cheat on the people they force into useless, illegal, unethical wars for profit is beyond reproach.

There is no excuse!

There is no moral conviction in Politics today, just over fed, greedy, self serving leeches.

The United States of Corporate Washington and Wall St.

What would Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and all of the founding Fathers of our Great Nation be thinking had they known that they had fought off the British Monarchy only to see the America they created in deeds and thought,  be turned into  Politician/ insider trading/ Wall St. corrupt Government with a central Bank, the Federal Reserve managing all financial dealings?
Where the American Chamber of Congress works against the American citizen, at the behest of Global Corporate Conglomerates who have no loyalty to the USA at all?
Where the most crooked, self serving, Politicians using religion, false Nationalism, fear, and hate can  create war for profit that benefits just a handful at the expense of the entire Country, and all those who die under this banner of deception.
Where Corporate crooks can buy immunity with legal bribes to the very people, Washington Senators, and Congress people  that are suppose to be watching out for our welfare, but instead have sold the country to the greediest group of malcontents, spineless, unethical bunch of deadbeat brown nosers the World has ever seen.
Where we see that "Wrong" is now right!
Only because it makes more money.
Where the same Politicians that will take any bribe offered to them, can turn cheating on their wife's and families into a self serving photo opportunity, justified by religion and God.
Where the President  (Bush, the half-wit) and Vice President ( Dick, I'm not a crook Cheney) of the United States can lie  the country into 2 wars, sit on their collective asses during 9/11 without any regard to morality, invade other countries on a whim, killing 100,000's  innocents, and putting 1,000's of American soldiers to an early grave, simply walk away from this unimaginable failure and then live out their life's as Kings, patting themselves on the back for a job well done, giving themselves awards, and bonuses. Building monuments in their names, building roads, and bridges in their names, building schools in their names.
How in the Hell can this freaking happen!
Well there you have it, the two poster boys for Corporate greed, intolerant, racist, bigoted behavior topped off with pure arrogant piggishness, and complete ignorance of History is the face of easy to come by known knowledge. Not to mention, the destroyer of American civil rights.
The two biggest Criminals in the 21st Century,  G. W. Bush and  Dick Cheney
When do those war crimes trials begin Mr. Attorney General?

Failed Leadership, in Business, Religion and Government.

When I look everywhere today in the News what I really see and hear is a complete failure of Business, Religion, and Government with the real bottom line reason  as always being greed. Greed is the reason that the USA is slipping faster into the abyss. At every corner is somebody with their hand out wanting more of anything and everything, whether they need it or not, because "more" has become an American value. In every aspect of life "greed and more" trample over common sense, and ethics every time. America, the land of the Free, the Home of the Brave is run by Political crooks in office only to get rich at the expense of not only all the citizens of the USA, but every citizen of every country on the Planet. Our Businesses and their  leadership is run by crooks with the same personality traits as Al Capone, greed at any cost. Our Religious Institutions go about preaching intolerance, bigotry, racism,  but never forget to tell you to leave money in the till before you leave, all the while these tax free religious buildings stand empty 6 days a week, while the homeless and unfed sleep in shelters and on the streets. Hell they don't even allow the returning military Veterans to use these buildings, and  instead they must sleep in the streets.

Religion, a sham and a shame!

What the Hell is wrong with you people?

The only value in the country is Greed, followed by more greed.

Just like the guy in the movie Network, I am sick of this shit every day, being forced down our collective throats and then we are told to just relax, it is no problem as they screw us again.

The Recession is coming to and end they say on Wall St!

Bullshit!

We are on course for a total Collapse.
You have been handed one  $$ Trillion dollars of taxpayer money of course you'll be fine.

Every Politician is a liar, every businessman is a thief, every religious cleric is an insane, half-wit who lives in the Stone Ages of Ignorance and blind submission.

What a sham.

This is the big plan though.

The people at the top, the richest of the rich revel in kaos, it makes money, everything makes more money. War brings death, but also much profit. Drug companies sell products that the side affect is worse than the illness they are suppose to cure. Health Care "less" companies deal in money as though it had ethics. Insurance companies sell worthless pieces of paper that have no value when you try to collect on your policy, but yet you are forced by Government to buy it or else.

The only thing America does today well, is start wars in other countries.

We have this down.

Leadership in America has failed miserably at every level.

So what it really means is that there are no leaders!

We are on a ship with no Captain to steer and navigate  a safe course.

It is like being on the Titanic as it is sinking but you are at the back of the boat playing ping pong on deck having a Mai Tia, and the deck hand says that there is plenty of time to escape, only you don't notice that you have a chain around your ankle, and the other end is bolted down to the ship itself !!!!!!!
God will not save us. How could it? God is all fiction, and just make believe to begin with.
Because if you think God will save you, than you might as well believe that the Easter Bunny will save you, or Santa Clause?
So now is the time to start baking those cookies for the reindeer that will be on your roof soon, but make sure that you don't shoot them by mistake, thinking that they are burglars, or your unemployed neighbor.

So don't plan on any miracles anytime soon, because everything is the result of cause and effect in the Universe.

So now what genius, you ask?
Am I worried?
No, I will be just fine, but the rest of you, I am not so sure.

Get out of Iraq and Afghanistan now!

Who really wins in these Wars for profit?
The Military Industrial Complex, Big Oil, Big Banking Cartels, Haliburton, Politicians, and anyone else who can milk a profit from Death falsely justified trough religion and Nationalism.
Who loses in these wars?
Our soldiers who are used as pawns like on a Chessboard. The people in these countries themselves because Millions will be displaced and 100,000's will be innocently killed.
Now is the time for President Obama to show leadership strength and push to have all troops out of both Iraq and Afghanistan immediately. Sure he or the Politicians can make-up all the Bullshit reasons for why this will not or cannot happen, but they are just Bullshit reasons.
We can start leaving today if we choose to. But the profit driven business of war will push ahead relentlessly until the American people are sick enough to start voting these political criminals out of office and then, and only then, will there be more push to change directions. The only other option would be Revolution of the status quote. But by then the Business of War will have made enough profit to back down and re-group only to be planning on another War, in another part of the World to start the same process to happen all over again. Greed has no ethics, no boundaries, no shame. Greed is, the Richest of the Rich, wanting more at any cost and they will get it, for our elected, browning nosing, spineless, self serving Politicians will do everything to pad their own pockets at the expense of the American citizens who they are suppose to represent.
What has the American public received by the two Wars created by G.W.Bush ( The Half -wit) and Dick ( I'm not a Crook) Cheney?
6,000 dead service men and women.
$13,000,000,000.00 bill due, each and every month since 2003. Totalling  $3 TRILLION and counting!!!
Record deficits, at a time when the Country is in a near second Great Depression environment.
500,000 - 1,000,000 service men and women returning home with war fatigue, and mental issues that will haunt them for a lifetime.
10,000's of our returning soldiers are now Homeless, living in the streets.
They serve their country and then come home to drug, alcohol, other forms of addiction due to stress and lack of mental Health help.
Flak from the rest of the World knowing that our elected officials are even more crooked than any others on the face of the Earth, because here in America the numbers used are just like playing with monopoly money - nearly unlimited!
And finally complete political burnout from us citizens knowing that our elected official don't give a damn about anybody but themselves, their re-elections, and their Swiss and Caribbean secret bank accounts.
Stay tuned:
Next war coming to America - Africa, the Dark Continent, loaded with minerals, oil, gold, diamonds, timber, and anything else of value to be plundered.

Democracy, American Style.

The elections in Afghanistan are temporarily on hold until the country can have a run off of the two top Candidates. Just like in America both candidates have dirt on their political hands and the politicians in Washington feel a mite threatened that either candidate will bring too much corruption into the highest powers of Afghanistan Government. In Afghanistan the true measure of power is  in the Opium trade. This is their natural resource that they can sell to the outside World. They have nothing else, unless selling dirt becomes fashionable soon and that does not look like the case. So either side of the political coin will be heavily tarnished with Political players that have close connection to the Opium trade, sales, distribution, smuggling, protection, bribery, murder, etc....

So here in the USA, American Politicians who have blood on their own hands in dealing with foreign Governments and power  do not like the way American style Democracy works in other countries because there are no sure ways to get the person you want to get elected in office and once they are there they become just as corrupt as the Politicians that the American Politicians do not want in office. These are Politicians who will not do America's bidding, by being paid off, bribed, or they will eventually be assassinated!

Democracy, what a wonderful thing, unless you lose the elections! Then it is atrociously unfair, because now your side is out of power until the next election in 2, or 4 or 6 years.

America keeps doing the same thing all over the World getting the same results for the past 100 years. We prop up puppet Governments, with boatloads of illegal American bribery money so that our guy gets in and the first thing we say after the elections is that we want our payback now! What this generally means is that we want the other countries Natural resources, oil, gas, timber, diamonds, gold, silver, you name it, we want it for America, or really for American owned Corporations owned by the elite, controlled by unscrupulous America businessmen with the help of unethical, self serving politicians who are more corrupt than most prison gangs, but they are good Christians (the majority) and Jews (the minority) at Church or at the Synagogue on Saturday and Sunday..

Business as usual.

Democracy brought in an Native Indian in Peru who does not want to surrender his countries sovereignty, and culture to outside Western Powers. We helped to install the Shaw of Iran and he fell to corruption. We put in Marcos in the Philippines and he feel to corruption. We put in Noriega of Panama and sits in prison in Florida. We helped put in Saddam Hussein and he fell as well. We push for Democracy to work for the Palestinians and  we get Hamas is in power. We put in power a Presidential figure in S. Vietnam and then had the CIA assassinate him because he didn't fit well for our own American ambitions. Go figure.

Now here in America in 2009 we are 8 months since the election of a new Democratically elected President and the political side that lost that election, the Republicans, do not want to let Democracy play out as was the intended purpose of our Founding Fathers. Instead the losing Republican side wants to sabotage the Democratic process only because it benefits a small, vocal, anal, bigoted, intolerant, racist minority group, the far right fanatical, lunatic fringe, religious, militant Republican base.

So how the Hell can Democracy work in other countries when our own Politicians of the losing side will not let it play out  in America,  in all fairness? It does not work is the answer.

Instead we see that nothing gets done except name calling, accusations and complete denial of facts, and even intentional efforts to degrade, destroy, disrupt all attempts of a peaceful, legal transfer of power that was written into our Constitution.
Can Democracy really work, if the losing side in an election won't play by the rules?
