It was revealed yesterday that President Barack Obama, hollowed be his name, actually told a lie. No, he didn’t chop down a cherry tree, but he did agree to extend tax cuts to the top 2%. The lie is being sold as a compromise for unemployment extensions for those at risk of losing their benefits. Well 99ers, looks like we are screwed.
Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, stated that 40% of the unemployed have been so for more than six months. He further stated that it could be five years or more before we can expect to see unemployment reduced to 5 or 6%. Sounds pretty grim but I believe it is worse.
Remember the summer of recovery, the job creating stimulus, and the tax breaks for businesses hiring the unemployed? All of these were hyped in the mainstream media as absolutes right up until the undeniable truth had to be reported.
The bottom line is I don’t believe there has ever been a plan to restore our jobs, in fact, quite the opposite. The plan, it would seem, has been from the beginning a mass culling of our work force. We have had everything taken from us while the filthy rich thieves have rubbed our noses in it by calling us lazy and un-industrious.
Barry Soetoro, the two bit liar that he is, is even being turned on by his own party and supporters. Bill Maher is describing Obama as a wussy and a wimp. And others are saying that he does not have the intestinal fortitude to stand against opposition. What people are failing to realize is Barry is a true gangster right out of Chicago. And being such he knows how to follow the orders of the international corporate mafia. Barry does not care what you, I, or his so called party thinks of him, though he is attempting to sell us on yet another con.
I predict that as soon as the lame duck congress adjourns, Mr. Soetoro will start proposing more monies to be spent on projects that will be sold as job creators, but will amount to nothing more than more debt for the people and more government contracts for his corporate bosses. And don’t be surprised when the right wing propagandists start speaking more favorably of Barry in saying that he has moved more to the middle. After which he will defeat a Sarah Palin or Newt Gingrich in the next presidential election and get to serve a second term.
We had better come to realize that one of our enemies’ greatest strategies is that it makes plans as much as fifty years into the future. Then as events unfold, only tweaking of the plan is necessary. When you have a propaganda machine whose so called reporters will tell you that the sun is shining at midnight and actually believe it themselves, what can stop you short of an uprising?
As for us 99ers’ apparent exclusion in the upcoming unemployment legislation, they need to see us baring our teeth and foaming at the mouth with real anger. Every 99er out there had better realize that every day we are growing closer to a violent confrontation wherein our very lives and those of our children and grandchildren hang in the balance.
It is time for a full court press in emailing and calling the White House if we want to avert violence. You must let them know your anger; don’t be afraid at this point, we have nothing to lose. All 99ers have to realize now that if anything is going to happen to avert disaster, we are going to have to make it happen.
I just read all the news and I am literally sick to my stomach. I have already started with the faxing, emailing and calling. The 99ers are already dead to this country. The government is waiting as millions of others run out of unemployment so they can be dead also. Perhaps, if we wipe out enough people, the people left will be able to find a job or better yet, be one of the 2% rich. Obama is a piece of shit and a shame to the American people. Congress should be ashamed to turn their back on the group that has been unemployed the longest. I swear I believe we are having a U.S. Holocaust. The rich are going to wipe out the poor and there is going to be no middle class. I wish there were something we could do now, today other than call, fax and email. I swear I want to hit somebody!!! We should include US Holocaust on our signs when we start protesting.
Also, I forgot to mention, I have been using the word US Holocaust on everything I send to Congress along with a few other words. I just cannot believe that he extended tax cuts to the wealthy and left us for dead.
Barbara99er-GA,
This is a rotten shame what they have done. I don’t just blame Obama, I blame most all of the sorry bastards. Somehow the point needs to be made to the dumb-asses that keep saying, “extending unemployment or adding another Tier just keeps people from looking for a job”, what about the ones that have not recieved any benefits for months now? How in the hell come we still can’t get a job? So they can cram that excuse straight up their ass.
I believe this must be some kind of a conspiracy they have been planning for a while now.
The videos I have watched on u-tube about Fema prison and work camps, illuminati, and New World Order do not seem to be so unrealistic to me anymore, matter of fact it is probably all true. Sorry for my foul language but I am steaming mad.

You are right it is not just Obama. It is all of the bastards. And concerning the phrase “extending unemployment or adding another Tier just keeps people from looking for a job”, there is no way they can believe that. Who in the hell wants to loose everything they have, rather than work. They are making fools out of themselves. Maybe we should pull our work records which would show that we have worked our entire life and let them explain to us why we suddenly, at the same time, all decided not to work anymore. Or perhaps we should reach out to other countries and beg for disaster money so the American people can feed themselves. I consider this a disaster and we do it all the time for other countries… now there is a thought.
Barbara,
You are so right, like yeah we have all worked all our lives, now we all just decided all of the sudden, hey lets just quit working and lose everything we have worked so hard for and use up all our life savings so we can end up on the street or under a bridge, yeah right. That sure is the scenario those dumb-asses are trying to portray about us, makes me sick. This is a very huge disaster by all means and I love your idea about reaching out and begging other Countries for help. Wonder what kind of message it would give if we all started sending faxes, emails, phone calls and snail mail to all the Senators, President, etc. and acted all dumb and innocent and sincere, and asked them if they could give us any assistance or advice on how to go about contacting other Countries so we can Begged for their help, since Our Very Own Goverment can’t seem to help us any. Better yet, if we could truely reach out to some other Countries don’t you know that would surely make the World Wide News and show the World just how sorry Our Goverment really is.
I MAY SOUND LIKE I AM LOOSING IT! AT TIMES I DO !! GREED IS EVIL!
GOD HELP US ALL ,
WHAT THE GOVERNMENTS HAVE PLANNED IS A NEW WORLD ORDER!!!!!
THEY HAVE SHIPPED OUT JOBS ON PURPOSE KEPT YOU QUIET FOR A WHILE WITH MEDIOCRE SUPPORT UI BENEFITS. ALL THE WHILE THEY SCAM AND PLAN THEN THEY RIP IT FROM US !
IMAGINE A THIEF THAT WANTS TO STEAL AND THERE ARE DOGS THEY WANT TO DETER THEM THEY THROW A STEAK AT THEM AND STEAL WHILE THE ANIMAL IS TO BUSY EATING WHAT IT THINKS IS A DELICIOUS TREAT!! WHEN THE THIEF IS GONE EVERYTHING HAS BEEN STOLEN AND THE ANIMAL IS HUNGRY AGAIN.
I GUARANTEE YOU THE NEXT STEP WILL BE TO BLAME THE PEOPLE FOR ANARCHY HAVE A REASON TO LOCK US ALL UP IN CAMPS LIKE VICIOUS ANIMALS!!!
MARTIAL LAW! THEY WILL PRINT NO MORE CURRENCY
AND ONLY THE ELITE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE WORLD BANK FUNDS! OUR DOLLAR WILL BE WORTH NADA!!!
I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS MY MY 90 YEAR OLD GRANDMOTHER SHE IS OF MAYAN DECENT SHE MENTIONS THE EARTH WILL NOT PERISH EL DIABLO WILL WALK THE EARTH THE ALL SEEING EYE WILL AWAKEN !!!
QUIDATE HIJA ESCONDETE Y A TUS AMADOS CORE LEJOS A LAS MONTANAS LLEVATE AGUA AROZ FRIJOL Y SEMILLA Y LA SANTA BIBLIA!!!
BUSCA A ESTAR SERCA DEL SOL ! TE PROTEGERA!!! LA LUZ DE DIOS EL SOL.
Eli,
Have you noticed our new page, Entrepreneurs? Here you can post your idea for a new business and ask for help from other 99ers. Who knows we might just pull ourselves out of the mess our government made for us.
I did Henry but did not notice anyone on chat.
If you want to chat just set a time with anyone you are conversing with in your comments to meet you in the Pub. You had an idea about a week ago that Joe Lopez replied to. Put it up in the Entrepreneur’s page and wait for someone to reply to you. You can then work out the details in the Pub more privately.
Henry
I think today will be a good day for the unemployed. In the past hour I have received 4 phone calls that hooked me up to both of my Congressmen. I can’t hear very well so I talk really loud. I left a message 2 times and talked with a secretary 2 times. Make that 5 phone calls I just got another one — I made my husband answer this one. Make that 6 — I talked with some guy this time he said, “I understand your frustration”, I said do you get paid to answer the phone, he said yes — my response, how can you understand?
Got it ! Thank you Henry
You Know I will need to pick your brain as well.
i JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH SENATOR PATTY MURRY S OFFICE. AND LET THEM NO WE WILL NOT GO AWAY STAND UP AND FIGHT.! HENRY MAYBE WE SHOULD START OUR OWN PARTY LIKE THE FLEA BAGGERS DID
You have us wrong. The Tea Party wants a small government, no waste, fraud, or abuse, no Departments not needed., no crony capitalism, no money for the permanently unemployed or the corporations and wall st. We ARE the middle class!
Hell, I’m unemployed. too, and I want the damn gov. to stop wasting our moneh/ How many muslim countries are we going to support??
We should all work together, ‘cos we all ARE the working/middle class.
Jen,
It is easy to be self righteous when you have money in your pocket. What about the 99ers who will never be employed as there are no jobs for them? What about those who absolutely cannot make a living through no fault of their own? I suppose they are just supposed to starve to death and get out of your fucking Tea Party way. I tell you what, you self righteous bastards want a fight, this American will give you one. You are too stupid to be believed. The taxes you pay go to service the national debt. Boehner and company are not going to put an end to that and you are neever going to stop paying taxes because you are either too stupid to know you do not have to pay taxes under the law or too cowardly to enforce your rights. The only thing you are insuring through your stupidity is that all monies continue to go to the corporate elite. So why don’t you go lick the feet of your oppressors and make sure to stop and kiss the asses of the Koch brothers on your way to your next Tea Party meeting. A person like you must have an agenda, and that agenda through your comment is to divide the 99ers against the Tea Partiers. I’ll hazard to guess you are campaigning for Obama.
ONE STAND 15.000.000 VOICES
December 7, 2010. A day that will live in infamy. Congress new of this attack ahead of time just like in 1941.
Pardon me,that’s “knew” of this attack.
We need to make the government hear our voices somehow, find a way to stand up as one and let the world know we are here, anyone, any ideas?
Frank,
We have on this website a Nationwide Rally to Extend of Unemployment Benefits page. All you have to do is post the address to your local unemployment office. When we have enough people we will have rallies across the country on the same day.
short of a riot, what should you do there is power in numbers. and we are many in numbers…the mob rules…
Time to take from the rich and give to the poor, modern day robin hood, we need to fight back and the laws sure are not on our side, so its time to take matters into our own hands what else can you do?? since the rich gets all the breaks i think i will start with them,they are taking our money by force, lets see how they like it, we sure as hell out number them….
Finally, an issue that I am passionate about. I have looked for information of this caliber for the last several hours. Your site is greatly appreciated.
