Well Congress will be reconvening today and I’m sure HR 589 and the 99ers will be the furthest things from their minds. The big debate that will overshadow everything else will be the debt ceiling. Of course we have discussed many times how to illuminate the debt in a way that will cause no harm to any middle class or poor person, or even those in the top 10% who were not involved in the theft of our $26 trillion. But the logic in simply taking back the money from those who stole it will not even be discussed by those bought and paid for by the international corporate mafia.
I actually heard one talking head on FOX Business defending the enormous profits being made by the oil companies that are coming directly out of the pockets of the American consumers. He stated, “What right do we have to blame the oil companies?”
Well I’ll tell you right now, you petty propagandist son of a bitch, there is a glut of oil sitting at U.S. refineries, meaning there is no shortage, no supply and demand issues here. This is open ended price gouging.
I’m going to tell you how we can solve this problem real easy. We are sitting on probably the largest oil reserve on the planet. It is located in Alaska. It is our oil that these deplorable bastards want to sell to us for $7.00 per gallon in gas in order to rip us off for the rest of our natural resources, as we continue to give them billion dollar subsidies, as we continue to go bankrupt.
We should immediately nationalize all oil in the United States. Then we as the American people can dictate that that oil will be pumped from the ground, refined, and brought to our American owned gas stations at the cost of production. We would easily have one hundred years of gas at about 20 cents a gallon. Hell no, 5 cents a gallon, because once we started production, I promise you, those in the Middle East will be happy to trade us a barrel of oil for a bushel of wheat.
And with this drastic drop in the price of energy, coupled with the other steps we need to take in ending the Federal Reserve and bringing our industry back home, not only would no one be out of work, but we would all be living like the proverbial Saudi prince.
I checked Barbara Lee’s and Bobby Scott’s websites and there is no new mention of HR 589. 99ers, we are on our own. They are going to continue to ignore us in the mainstream, right up until two months before the 2012 election. Then they think they are going to step in and give us 14 weeks of unemployment to buy our vote for Obama.
What am I saying; we are not going to make it to 2012. It is so encouraging to see our people uniting at every level from the poor to the upper middle class. The fact is we need to act and we need to act now. The rape of our country is starting to look like a TV store during a riot.
Every American needs to start being completely pissy with everyone who suggests that anything is okay right now. We need to tell them in no uncertain terms that we are tired of being treated like we are stupid. And we are going to take our country back. And it is going to be governed as a Republic under our Constitution. And every insurgent who has been working for our destruction is going to be punished.
God bless this Republic, death to the international corporate mafia, we shall prevail.
Osama bin Laden is DEAD!!! I thought it woud never happen. Finally the bastard got what he deserved! He was buried at sea so that his remains are vanished from our sights.
Yeah, that’s the problem. Vanished from our sights! This whole thing stinks.
We might be able to see pictures of this dead body on the internet.
first the fake birth cert . now fake body or lack there of but WHATS REAL ARE US 99ERS.
NEXT WEEK JESUS WILL RETURN. AND WE WILL STILL HAVE NO HELP. IM JUST SAYIN!
help.help help help help help help help help help help help help help help help help congress can you here what the american people are saying to you now., what more can we 99ers say we need your HELP yesterday..
WELL NOW THAT OBAMA IS DEAD AND IS HE WHY WOULD A PERSON WHO LIVED IN THE SAND AND MOUNTAINS BE BARIED AT SEA? ITS SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE 99ERS AND THE UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS ALL LIES. WHY DIDN’T THEY SHOW THE COUNTRY THE PROOF OR IS IT LIKE THE UNEMPLOYEMENT NEVER THE TRUTH. ONLY IN AMERICA AND THE CLOWNS ON THE POTOMIC WILL SMILE SOMEMORE FOR THE CAMERAS, THATS ALL AMERICA NEEDS MORE BS FROM THESE LYING BASTERDS.
That B should be an S !!
It was Osama not Obama.
thats awesome there is someone that gets it. isn’t it interesting they already bury that piece of shit at sea that quickly i dont believe it this has come up to avoid us the 99ers and the soon to be they want all of us to believe that this is going to fix the country the true terrorrist is congress and even know there not around at the moment bush and cheney and halburtan they should lock up these scumbags but you have to be rich or a politition to get away with murder
We are not going to make it to 2012 is the stone cold truth. Another winter, more homeless citizens, food stamps being reduced, our Govt. completely ignoring us. Yeah……… it’s not a pretty picture. God help us all !
Vote Trump 2012 …….at least we know all about ‘this’ clown!
dont you get it doesn’t matter who they put there its the same retoric.congress runs the show they dont care abought any of us id rather see jesse ventura there instead they would have him assasinated
We must bombard all the news media everyday constantly until they ask the politicians the easy questions to get the tough answers. They must be accountable for running the country. You must contact CNN, Foxnews, NBC, CBS, ABC, NPR and many more sites/stations AND GET THEM TO ASK THESE POLITICIANS NOW why they are ignoring the real problems that are hurting this country. The politicians work for us and we should demand the help that is necessary to preserve our homes, and families, from their poor management. Call them, email them and fill out the forms everyday and lets open this can of worms to the public. CNN alone has about 25 contacts and it’s easy to duplicate your efforts using the browser tricks. DO IT NOW!!!
I AM A 99ERS AND I SEE MY LIFE GOING DOWN HILL. I HAVE WORKED SINCE THE AGE OF 18 NOW 28 YEARS LATERS I CAN’T GET NO HELP. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WHO IS BEING THROWN OUT HER 1 BEDROOM APARTMENT WITH NOWHERE TO GO I NEED HELP, I CAN’T FIND A JOB I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHERE TO TURN, I WENT TO ALL THE SO CALLED AGENCY IN CHICAGO COULDN’T EVEN GET A MAYBE WE WILL HELP ALL I GOT WAS SORRY WE ARE OUT OF FUNDS. 99ERS DON’T GIVE UP I’M PRAYING FOR EACH ONE OF US.
Hang in there, neenee. I’m prayin’ for YOU.
Millions of us have been asking for better than a year with no income. The begging is over. It is time for affirmative action. Washington wont listen until we land on the doorstep. So let me repeat myself. Millions of us have been actively asking for congress to do something for better tan a year. They are not listening!
hi neenee the same goes everywhere ive been out of work for going on three years now the goverment doesn’t care abought americans they only care abought themselves and the rich oh and the illegal immigrants neenee change your name to something spanish and see if that helps this country is fucked and so are we
How’s this ? Clarko Kentanista.
right on from briano esses
Lee like everyone else is hiding under their desks along with their piles of cash from the lobbyists. Reminds me of Jackson Jr. telling everyone on one news site to send in their resumes and he would deliver them to the floor. Haaaaaaaaaaaaa. He never did and his reason was that he only received 12,000 resumes.
you know what gets me this osama bin laden shit now that he is supposebly dead now. didn”t they report the number 2 two guy was killed like 10 times dont believe it there fuckin liers.and the scary thing most people believe this crap is this suppost to make this country better now that he’s gone are goverment truly sucks im unemployed 3 years broke and as the moment homeless there no help for me.i guess i have to a mexican nuckle dragging neanderthal to get any help any mexicans out there want to bye my social security card it help you no me pissed beyond belief
I hear ya, brother. I’m in the same boat.
i say revolution we need these fucks out of the whitehouse they have brought nothing but shame to our flag
who the hell is barbara lee what is she going to do talk more shit like the rest of them i say action speaks louder than words and promises
You can add Barbra Lee & the CBC to the same list as the rest of the useless supporters for the 99ers.
It all started with Chuck Schumer last year and then he was quickly muzzled! Then, Debbie Stabenow pretended to care just in time for the midterm elections and then she was muzzled! NOW, you can add Barbara Lee & the Black Congressional Caucus to the list of phony politicians playing to their base.
BTW, Henry can you change your security questions? I’m terrible at math… lol
THANK YOU SO MUCH THAT REALLY MEANS ALOT TO ME
No problem.
HEY GUYS , I THINK WE WILL GET AN EXTENSION. I REALLY DO. WE NEED IT AND ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.
Where do “you think” they’ll find the money to pay for it? OR, do ”you think” the emergency paygo still has potential?
I’m 52 years old and haven’t been able to find a job in what seems like forever. I’m in the process of losing my house that I’v been paying for ,for the last 15 years and in 2 days I will no longer have water service ( because I can no longer pay the bill ). Who’s going to hire me if I can’t even take a shower. I’ve tried selling off my belongings but hardly anyone is buying.I was really hoping that they would get the HR 589 bill passed, but they went in with nothing to off set the cost knowing that the bill wound not pass.Now don’t get me wrong I’m gald that at least someone is talking about the 99ers and the unemployed, but we need more than that, we need jobs created, tax credits for employers to hire the unemployed and money to pay our bills while we are trying to get jobs! Lisa
LDillon, I know your pain, Lisa. I’ve lost just about everything, including my home of 7 years. Hang tough. It’s all we can do. God Bless.
I agree! What we need are advocates lobbying congress demanding that we penalize companies for outsourcing jobs and creating stronger incentives for hiring the long term unemployed. Unfortunately all our advocates are presently tied up begging for only $4,000.00.
EVERYBODY IS TAKING TO THE STREETS WHEN THEY HEARD OSAMA GOT KILLED, THATS WHAT WE 99ERS NEED TO DO TAKE TO THE STREETS AT THE WHITE HOUSE, WE WILL GET RESULTS IT’S EITHER NOW OR NOTHING. YOU CAN’T THROW A PUNCH WITH 1 OR 2 FINGERS ITS TAKES A FIST TO LAND A MIGHTY BLOW, AND WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AS THAT FIST. OR GOD HELP US. THE RICH AND THE GREETY WILL BE THE LAST TO GO WHEN JESUS COMES. AMEN
Greed is a deadly sin! Being rich is not a sin. I know plenty of people who accumulated wealth that have hearts of gold and worked hard & honest to get rich. They too will be saved when Jesus comes. Don’t hate all over the rich simply because you’re not.
Hey Mom,
How much “wealth” are we talking about here? Half a mil? A mil…maybe two? Are we talking rich or well off? Is it ten or twenty mil? Or is it so much that it couldn’t be spent in a lifetime? By the way…how many of those “golden hearted” folks are using their wealth to fight back against the tyrannical cancer that is drowning the nation that gave them the opportunity to achieve that status?
Just wondering,.
Brain
Like everything else in life, it’s not how much it is, it’s how you use it! LOL.
Greed is a deadly sin! COVETOUS is another level of greed which also implies an inordinate desire often for another’s possessions. I have no animosity against anyone rich or desire their possessions regardless if it one million, two billion or 3 trillion. Now, the greedy evil thief’s who sucked the well dry to accumulate possessions is another matter for God to deal with, NOT US!.
Actually, Mom, it’s really nice to believe that and there are days I do and days I don’t. Whatever! Be that as it may.
As far as the here and now are concerned i don’t mean to burst any bubbles here but I repeat :
…….how many of those “golden hearted” folks are using their wealth to fight back against the tyrannical cancer that is drowning the nation that gave them the opportunity to achieve that status?
Or are they just sitting there waiting for the “starving peasants” to break down their doors in desperation as the corporate mafia manipulates the labor market on a global basis in order to reduce the American worker to third world status so the stinking rich can stink even more?
I understand and that’s OK. I hope someday your convictions hold fast and they don’t change day to day.
I remember a funny line by Larry David. He said he used to be called a poor smuck and now he’s called a rich prick! I guess my point is you can’t define everyone based on their bank account. I really wish you would stop calling anyone who is rich “filthy”.
Maybe you should run for president! Your intelligence qualifies you perfectly to stand among such dignified company and your abundance of wealthy friends should prove quite convenient toward that prestigious achievement!
Thank you so much for your illuminating comments. I feel significantly enlightened as a result! I will not, however, be in a position to contribute to your campaign. Sadly, I am one of those “poor smucks”! Oh that I should Iive to become a “rich prick”.
Uh…that wouldn’t be “schmuck” would it?
Brian,
I certainly understand how you feel. I was blessed to find a job before I became too angry and resentful. I didn’t know how much longer I could hold out from just taking my neighbors car because the economy screwed me. After all, he had too cars in his garage and I had none!!! He was a nice guy until the recession started. Just because my personal situation changed all of a sudden my neighbor became a filthy rich prick!
BTW, if you’re not too busy please throw in a “c” & “h” in the word smuck for me, thanks. LOL.
hey mom a different brian is responding let me guess you probably have a couple of illegal aliens working at your home.it’s arrogant asses like you to talk shit i use to have money this country took it all from me so sit there in your mansion laugh it up you think it wont happen to you i didnt think it was happen to me.the next crash is coming enjoy your wealth soon you will be like the rest of us goodluck mom the end is near for everybody in america
I’m sitting thinking about what can be done to make change happen and I feel so helpless, and I know that there are millions of other peolpe who feel the same way, I’ve done the E mails and wrote Hand Written letters to Washington . What can we do ? I don’t have the money to go to Washington, I don’t even have money to buy Gasline to drive around to look for work. It must be just as bad for so many people, probably worst.
How long before HR 598 comes up again ? How many Peolpe are already living on the streets, that were hard working Americans ? I’d like to see these numbers. My prayers go out to everyone of you out there who are dealing with this stuff every day, because I’m pretty sure I know how alot of you feel.
I was a 99er myself. I am working now but far from having my old lifestyle back. I have been complaining for over a year now that I thought the 99er advocates have the wrong strategy. I get that 99ers need a lifeline and hope they get it someday. Nonetheless, I believe that $4,000.00 will not make the problem go away. I simply cannot wrap my brain around the fact that for over one year with no results, 99er advocates still chase unemployment expansions WITHOUT the same diligence for lobbying congress to penalize companies who outsourcing jobs and legislate stiffer incentives for hiring the long-term unemployed, etc.
Mom,
That’s a great idea! Let’s get those lobbies going! Let’s get all those “golden hearted” wealthy friends of yours behind that. I bet they are loaning you money too! Boy! Those bighearted rich folks are right there when you need ’em aren’t they? I bet they are going nuts over the disenfranchisement of millions while their portfolios bulge as corporate profits increase! Must just be killing ’em! Sure hope they are OK! After all…they’ve worked so hard while we just screwed around working cush jobs for them!
Brian
You really must try to be a little fairer. I never said I had rich friends…. I SAID, “I know plenty of wealthy people”.
I know this site is devoted to despising the rich corporate mafia but, not every wealthy American took part in pillaging the economy.
Mom,
I think evil starts at about a billion of today’s fiat dollars. The problem is when an individual finally has so much money that there is not one material possession that cannot be obtained; the only thing left is power.
I have no desire to tell any other person how to think or live. The people who have billions and have succumbed to the evil lure of power can never be satisfied. Thus the only way they can procure pleasure is by making a poor person’s life a living hell.
It is a perverse mental disorder and it has been scientifically proven to exist.
If you’d like to learn more about this illness I would suggest the documentary “Zeitgeist III – Moving Forward”
I have nothing against honest people procuring honest wealth, but when does gluttony become excess? It is not the money, it is the need to possess it for no other reason than the power it welds over others.
have another one henry http://www.endofamerica.com the crash is near they are all going to find out when the goverment closes the banks everybody’s retirement is gone its going to be worse than the depression in the 20’s
Has anyone heard anything new about the bill HR 589 or Congress woman Barbara Lee
in the last couple of days ? 5/3/11
“We should immediately nationalize all oil in the United States.”
BINGO!!!! There was talk of this after the BP disaster, but it fizzled out. Amazing – it’s commonly reported that the transnationals falsely report or aren’t required to pay royalties on the resources that they are stealing from the American people. Gee, do you think that the investor class benefits from all the free resources, cheap labor, no taxes, no proper environmental regulation, no safety requirements, no benefits – all increasing their dividends.
Chavez became the boogieman when he nationalized the Venezuelan oil using proceeds to bring healthcare, education and some semblance of decent housing to the completely ghettoized countryside which was perfectly acceptable to the “christian” ruling class. They and their global supporters crucified him – many of the elites in his country were educated here and made sure that the country was safe for transnationals to pilfer at will and as they do worldwide, leave the risk and clean-up to the working class, assuming no responsibility – only profit.
Here in my state the shale contracts are ALL exempt from clean water regulation, they pay NO royalties, corporations doing the extraction are primarily from Texas – not using any locals for jobs. We’ve already experienced a number of spills. We get to clean up their damage and pay for water treatment facilities that will result from this insanity. The gas is not used in this country – it is pure profit which is why they are going after it like hornets before the public realizes that they’ve been bamboozled!! BOTH parties- surprise, surprise, think that the drilling is ok, although they agree that we should be on the look out for environmental hazards, which once they occur, are unrecoverable since the chemicals are so toxic – i.e., you move. All so that Americans can live in their big fat McMansions and drive their big fat SUVs and consume all the food they can shove down their gullets – talk about a waste of energy. Are we in a race to see if we can use 1000x the resources of other countries – let’s see who can be the biggest pig?? So much to be proud of – the good ‘ol illiterate U.S.A. where the working stiffs allow it’s bought and paid for gov’t to fund it’s corporate interests by printing and borrowing. Isn’t it obvious that when these stateless transnationals clean us out they can move elsewhere just as Halliburton did – and all we are left with is the bill? When it gets too filthy, the aristocrats will leave too – if you travel, you’ll notice that they don’t foul their own pristine backyards – they choose the poor communities to dump their waste and steal, because they know that the weak can’t afford representation – even if there were an honest judge or attorney willing to risk their career in the name of justice. After all, the law isn’t about justice – it’s written to assist the unjust with more loopholes than swiss cheese so that the real criminals aren’t breaking the law – this concept is the least of what we should have learned from the Wall Street bailout, i.e., they made sure that what they did was legal. Yes, it was a planned robbery like all their heists. All it takes is patience and an uninformed public.
every american should be pissed off right now no benifits for us but they will spend 5 billion dollars on lybya we dont even extract oil from there we get it from south america and the gulf every tomahawk missle they send up i million there reason is humanatarian reasons bullshit or they legislate millions of dollars on haiti and then find out the one in charge of the haiti relief fund is pilligeing it for himself republican go figure.all the 99ers out there hate to say it they have thrown all of us to the wolves there not going to do a damm thing if anybody out there has seen the movie gangs of newyork that is how it’s going down the poor are going to rise up and take back there shit something like eygpt and the goverment knows it’s coming
I called the House and ways committee today and asked when HR589 was going to be looked at. I was informed that it is when the Chairperson wants to hear it. No set date according to this person. I would like everyone to start calling 202-225-3625 and make our voices be heard. I informed her that we cannot wait around until this guy feels like doing his job for the American people. I would personally make sure he will not getting voted in during the next election and he would become homeless just like so many of us have. I also, informed her that if they would work more than 3 days a month then they would get more work done.
I’m tired of being treated like a 3rd class citizen by my elected officials. They are not holding up to what they campaigned on to win in November. No new jobs have came from these people and more and more are losing their benefits. I say its time we as the unemployed demand them to be replaced. 6 months and no improvement. Please call and be heard.
I will write a letter to the House Speaker John Boehner tonight.
Please sign the petition to pass H.R. 589. It is very important to the 99ers.
http://signon.org/sign/pass-hr589-tier-v-unemployme?source=s.tw&r_by=128499
Thank – You Jane. I just signed the petition. I was unaware that there was one and you made it very easy. Thanks.
Hi fellow 99ers, it is hard for me to tell you that there will not be an extension of any sort for us 99ers. I know it sounds very negative but I haven’t had any income since my last unemployment check in march of last year. Most of us are already half dead and the rest are either too broke financially to do anything or just simply gave up. Can’t do much when you are constantly worrying about your next meal or where to sleep tonight. We shared our stories with one another to ease the pain but the reality is Congress has abandoned us a long time ago. They know that they can squash us like bugs unless we do something about it. Anything that we do to get their attention will propably land us all in prison. It’s a no win situation for us 99ers regardless what course of action we should take besides putting a gun to our head and pull the damn trigger, then maybe they will hear the shot and take action by plugging their ears. As far as Barbara Lee (and her HR 589) is concerned, one Democrat joins the cause each month therefore by the next election , HR 589 will have approx. 100 co-sponsors, yipee caye mother you know what! It is all just a circus act to deceive the 99ers into believing that help is on the way. There is no help for us 99ers because both the Dumbocrats and Republican’ts are sick and tired of us because we are the living proof that there is no economic recovery as claimed by our Government. Everything is a lie coming from their filthy mouths! Politicians are the biggest liars on this earth and they are being paid by the international corporate mafia to do so. We can pray, scream, whine, contact your Senators, Obuma from Hawaii, Kenya or House Reps but it will do us absolutely no good except for allowing us to vent just a little. Unless one of us 99ers comes up with a brilliant “outside the box” idea on how to tackle this dilemma, we are all destined to quietly fade into nothingness. Again, stay negative my fellow 99ers, very negative because the worst is yet to come so trust no one except yourself. This country is destroying itself from within because of greed and the end is near, so brace yourself for the biggest impact of your life!
I would like to say thank you to all who have websites like these, I am a 99er and have been for a few months now….Now things are bit different in my life as I am in the beginning stages of being homeless like many others, which is a shame..I couldn’t care less about bin laden dead or alive because thats not MY reality, he never does not and never did impact my vision in the mirror every morning. The extra 14 weeks would go along way to helping people such as myself…Do I think the govt cares? or has ever cared about the regular citizen? no not at all..gov’ts are only out for whats best for them not anyone else so you should not be surprised either…but hey what can you do? I’m neither dem or rep so I am not biased bc they all are cheats and liars in my opinion, but I do feel that what the U.S. needs is a revolution like no other and change the system..take back the printing of money from the federal reserve and stop paying interest on money that is made….if people were wiser and did a little research they would see that the IRS is a fraud and the 16th amendment never gave the govt ANY authority to tax earnings and wages……..wake up please people! The rich get richer bc we allow it to happen….
Greg, you’re exactly right about those fucking vultures at the IRS. I watched a expose’ documentary on this subject, and they, legally, DO NOT have the right to tax your paycheck ( earnings ) IT IS NOT A LAW !!! They’ve brainwashed everybody into believing that for so long, that people just automatically pay it.
absalutly right on that’s great there is others out there who realize this crap they are the legal mafia there doing nothing different than the italian crime familys did but it’s ok for them there was a guy who went to court like 10 years ago he didn’t pay taxes for twenty years and fought it he was right they were wrong he still went to prison than there’s charles brangel a congress man from newyork who creates taxes and feels he doesn’t have to pay he srewed the goverment out of 400.000 thousand dollars what happened to him he keeps his job and gets a slap on the wrist ain’t that the shit
I was wanting to know if anyone knows of any other good web sites to get information about whats going on with the 99ers and for the 99ers. Thanks
go on google check for unemployment alerts you want your life back than that would mean they congress would have to give up there 10 month vacations and there boats and beach houses that’s the damm truth while the rest of starve and go homeless and unemployed goodluck want your life back so does 30million and growing wish you well
When enough people get really sick and tired , just plain fed up with whats going on with congress thats when things will change. And right now theres alot us that are going though really hard times, but there are also alot of people who are not , not the way we are. People who have jobs come home tired are just gald to get up another day , just so they can do it again. They are not going to work for change until it happens to them. We need change now but how we are going to get it I don’t know. One thing for sure is we need to get Big Business out of our Goverment they have so much influence that the politicians who are voted in, no longer represent the American people.
Thanks Clark! Yea if people would open their eyes and stop being lazy do some research I guarantee you the people would revolt if they knew what was REALLY going on! I’ve just grown so tired of the B.S. of my home country and the way things are, I have taken the last little bit of money I have left and am leaving the country…My only hope is that one day the people rise up against the bullshit that is going on and change it! Honestly that’s the only way it’s going to change….the richest 1% is wealthier then the rest of the 99% COMBINED…how can that happen? it’s inexcusable in my opinion..and you can fight that fact all you want by saying oh it’s a capitalistic society blah blah blah..no excuse when those 1% of people control everything from banking to politics..the game is rigged for the regular person who busts his/her ass everyday to make a living..living in a routine is no kind of life..when you end up with shit to show for it in the end! Thanks everyone! Hope all is well and serious pressure on the powers that be will make them grant the extra 14 weeks! not calling or writing your elected officials! Hasn’t worked up until now and will not work in the future! I Hope I see the day where all my people rise up..black,white,hispanic men, women and children! EVERYONE can unite for a great cause!
