Just as I was about to search for images from the protests, this was posted.
I say RIGHT ON! Power to the people!
I'm so glad that the people are not going to sit around while Dictator Bush continues to bully and threaten his will onto congress. His goal to take power and money from the public, and put it in the hands of his corrupt government officials and their fellow bandits in Wall Street, must not succeed.
Keep up the good work showing how outraged we are, and how we will no longer accept this insanity, this utter BS. I look forward to seeing more awesome pics of the protests!

The protests, if anything, will only ENCOURAGE the bail-out to go through full-speed ahead.

Our Congress and the Bush administration delight in giving the finger to those who actually care about this country. After all, we are just part of the "angry left".

Would have been more productive than my day driving to hours to a part-time job that doesn't pay enough to cover the gas.

U.S. troops Army 1st Brigade Combat Team will be returning from duty in Iraq. They will be carrying out homeland patrols in America from October 1st in complete violation of Posse Comitatus for the purposes of helping with “civil unrest and crowd control” - which could include dealing with unruly Americans after a complete economic collapse. They will be here for about a year, then re-deployed to Iraq.

Congress is already preparing to do the bailout in "easy installments". At least that's the latest news. Stay tuned ...

I was looking for the photos yesterday. Glad they're up and even more gratified someone said sumpin.

For my money the very best photo that sums up where my people are these days is the one with the two guys holding the "Jump you fuckers" signs. I wish I'd had a photo of the corporate fuckheads looking out their windows though...

We had a small skirmish here in socal, I just got back from jail. It was fun being beatup by the sheriffs for saying no to the owning class.

This
idea sounds just crazy enough to possibly work, so naturally it won't be
given serious consideration. How great is our
bureaucracy!!


Hi Pals,

I'm against the
$85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I'm in favor of giving
$85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It
Dividend.

To make the math simple, let's assume there are
200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our
population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child.
So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide
200 million adults 18+ into $85 billion that equals $425,000.00.

My
plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It
Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let's
assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay
$127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to
Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in
their pocket.

A husband and wife has $595,000.00.

What would
you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your
mortgage - housing crisis solved.

Repay college loans - what a
great boost to new grads

Put away money for college - it'll be
there

Save in a bank - create money to loan to
entrepreneurs.

Buy a new car - create jobs

Invest in the
market - capital drives growth

Pay for your parent's medical
insurance - health care improves

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean
- or else


Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+
including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other
company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our
Armed Forces.

If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really
do it...instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( 'vote buy' ) economic
incentive that is being proposed
by one of our candidates for
President.


If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's
bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG - liquidate
it.

Sell off its parts.

Let American General go back to
being American General.

Sell off the real estate.

Let the
private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Here's my
rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.

Sure it's a crazy idea
that can 'never work.'

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block
Party!

How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow
adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion

We Deserve It
Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC

And remember, The Birk plan
only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned
instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh...I feel so much better
getting that off my chest.

Kindest personal
regards,

Birk

T. J. Birkenmeier, A Creative Guy &
Citizen of the Republic

PS: Feel free to pass this along to your
pals as it's either good for a laugh or a tear or a very sobering thought
on how to best use $85 Billion!!

Unfortunately, we know how the scum in govt actually does things.

..posse comitatus it would be King George!

Another shoulder that deserves a large share of the weight is Nancy Pelosi's - considered a liberal Democrat but by her record as speaker, a damn, chicken-shit, American aristocrat from the same club as Bush, Paulson and Bernanke!
She should have had the balls, the sensitivity to her constituents to boldly begin hearings to impeach the weaselly little S O B before she arranged the drawers in her new office!

The bailout of financial criminals is treason. Predatory lending led to derivatives of bundled subprime mortgages that had to fail. Money pirates sold phantom stocks on naked short selling of derivatives manufactured out of junk subprimes. CEOs dived into the unsubstantiated garbage because it could be sold Enron-style.

They gambled and lost. HUGE! They would like YOU to pay for their mistakes. They want socialized medicine for their goofs. Oooops! Bear Stearns went down! OOoooops! Lehman Brothers ... gone! Oooops! AIG! Morgan Stanley! Fannie Mae! Freddie Mac! Emergency! Economy is in a spin! Mayday! Mayday! Disaster! Oh the horror! Send money! Send a LOT of money! Send $700 Billion! Don’t ask any questions! It’s for your own good, honest! National Security Crisis!

Get in on the big circus . Hurry! Hurry! Bring your mistakes, your bad choices, your old printer, your crashed computer, that whatchmacallit that didn’t call-it, that thing-a-ma-jig that didn’t jig. Present a bill for what you think you should be paid for your junk. Public interest! Not just big corporations or Wall Street! Little folks and Main Street! Deliver a load of it to your Republicrats so they can get you a piece of the Bailout! It’s for the National Security! America! Do it!

Watching Obama,Pelosi,Reid and the rest begging for the passage of this bill made me want to puke.Who would have thought it would be conservative republicans that would stand in the way of this sellout of the American taxpayer.The only people with anything to fear are the wall street bankers that caused the mess in the first place.The people in charge have already begun writing off portions of this so called "loan" and it isn't even made yet.If this happens,you can write off all $2000+ dollars they're taking out of your pockets.There's no reason to give away this money to the very people that lost it in the first place.They are fighting for pay for the bums they throw out.Should that even be a consideration?This whole thing stinks all the way to Canada.

Anyone who reads this should Google and watch "EndGame" by Alex Jones. It explains alot about what is going on with America

To be honest I think what Alex Jones does is take really good information and then throw some really crazy shit in there with it.

The average person looks at that and decides it must all be crap because this part of what he has to say is crap. Do be honest, I've wondered if he does this on purpose or if Cleon Skousen is right, and someone feeds Alex Jones miss information.

At any rate, I would recommend John Pilger. John Pilger is the real deal. He's the man that actually uncovered there is an End Game document by using the Freedom of Information Act.

Check out John Pilgers
The New Rulers of the World

This documentary takes a look at Globalization and it's real effects on the poor. The multinational corporations and government collaborating. Are why our rights are being taken away.

Check out John Pilgers
Breaking The Silence for a look at the U.S. foreign intervention around the world.

I got this off an artical from Latest Metro New Orleans News. web address www.nola.com

Worried that welfare costs are rising as the number of taxpayers declines, state Rep. John LaBruzzo, R-Metairie, said Tuesday he is studying a plan to pay poor women $1,000 to have their Fallopian tubes tied.

"We're on a train headed to the future and there's a bridge out, " LaBruzzo said of what he suspects are dangerous demographic trends. "And nobody wants to talk about it."

LaBruzzo said he worries that people receiving government aid such as food stamps and publicly subsidized housing are reproducing at a faster rate than more affluent, better-educated people who presumably pay more tax revenue to the government. He said he is gathering statistics now.

How does it feel to get ripped off again and again? How does it feel to lose your job or your home while the fats cats steal our tax dollars and make us pay as we strggle to survive while they suck us dry? Now its half our hard earned tax dollars that go to them while you or your family needs medical care or medication or maybe an operation. How does it feel to have your civil rights gone as you try and find a good school for your kids or a college you can afford? And as they profess the need for trillions more for fabricated wars how does it feel to be getting poor while they tax your money to make themselves rich? How does it feel to be left in a ditch? Have you had enough? Well it feels real bad and we are all getting F't. So It's time to let them know we ain't gonna take it anymore. Cause we're sick of their lies and there criminal schemes that are leaving us all on an American garbage dump of lost dreams. How does it feel?
