In a press release on her site, Barbara Lee struck out at Ways and Means Committee Chairman Camp saying,

“Chairman Camp’s bill to gut unemployment benefits for millions of jobless workers is just the latest Republican salvo in their war on our nation’s unemployed. It is cruel for Ways and Means Committee Republicans to further penalize unemployed workers across the country as we face an economy where there are more than 4 unemployed workers for every available job. Instead of moving on the bill that Rep. Scott and I introduced to extend aid for unemployed workers who have exhausted their benefits, Republicans want to go backwards and cut existing unemployment benefits.

It’s been four months and change since the 112^th Congress first convened and they have done absolutely nothing to address the jobs issue that they were elected on.  Of course they use “Jobs” as a buzz word when making assertions that are unpopular with the people. 

If you listen to the neo-cons, who absolutely represent no one other than 20% of the top 10%, they say, “Cut taxes for the rich for jobs.  Cut Social Security for jobs. Cut Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, and welfare for jobs.

The stated reason that HR 589 or a Tier 5 unemployment extension could not be introduced on the House floor was that neither could be financed, just another lie in a long stream of lies.  The dirty little rat bastard Dave Camp, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee that is refusing to hear any legislation for unemployment extensions, has introduced his own bill, HR 1745 – Jobs, Opportunity, Benefits and Services (JOBS) Act of 2011. 

Apparently there is $31 billion sitting in a bank account which is unemployment money we have paid in.  Camp wants to take that money and turn it over to the states to use to give more tax cuts to the corporations that downsized our jobs.  This is a diversion and misappropriation of public funds.  Camp should be jailed for even suggesting it, as he is funneling tax payer money to the corporate sleaze buckets that put his treasonous arse into office.

“Reps. Scott and Lee to Chairman Camp: Stop Penalizing Unemployed Workers, Work With Us to Extend Aid for the Long-term

“WASHINGTON, DC – Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Representative Bobby Scott (D-VA) released the following statement today in reaction to legislation offered by Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) that would gut unemployment benefits for millions of displaced workers. Representatives Lee and Scott have requested that Chairman Camp support their bill, HR 589, to extend aid for unemployed workers who have exhausted their benefits. HR 589 currently has 80 co-sponsors in the House.

Okay 99ers; let’s see where we stand today.  Our champion, Barbara Lee, in seeing that she is completely impotent in the realm of political shakers, has decided to join the Barry Soetoro status quo and begin working on dividing the people by race.  I see you Barbara Lee, and I know what you are doing and it’s not going to work.  The problem of unemployment is not one of race.  And you are not going to convince the unemployed Americans of darker skin to remove themselves from our united force with your promise of a socialist utopia. 

We are all; red, yellow, black, white, cowboy, hippy, rebel, yank; patriots and will pass on the dog food your socialism offers preferring the steak our Constitution insures.   You are a traitor, not only to your country but to your people.  And some day you will be punished for your crimes, maybe sooner than you think.

“If you are going to say, we’re not going to cut entitlements, you are saying we are going to go bankrupt.”  Or so says the filthy rich Ben Stein.  Certainly this man does not have an agenda.   Stein went on to say, “It is going to be hard cheese on a lot of us, such as old people” referring to himself as a part of that group.  Stein has never suffered a day in his life.  He is an elitist and a good friend of the ultra rich and powerful degenerate, Henry Kissinger. 

On an earlier appearance Stein said he did not understand how anyone could blame the oil companies for the high price of oil.  Well I’ll tell you how, you neo-con piece of dirt, when we are robbed at the pumps that money is going right into the pockets of the grossly filthy rich oil barons.  There are now four ultra elite oil companies which shows an ongoing consolidation of money and power in the industry, as that number was eight back in the eighties.

The mainstream propagandists are attempting to completely detach the American citizens from reality.  More and more people I talk with are saying the same thing, “What planet are they on?”  There is at present massive flooding along the Mississippi and we all know of the damage done to our country by the tornadoes.  Twenty-five percent unemployment, rising prices on all necessities, massive debt, and a dying dollar; wouldn’t you think that as real reporters they would be living on the steps of Capitol Hill?  Our country is in a crisis, and I believe it is worse than the Great Depression.

During the Great Depression our resources had hardly been tapped and we were still in the process of building our industrial base.  In short, there was a way out and in all due honesty there is a way out of this present mess we are in.  It is simple and we have discussed it numerous times.

The propaganda machine was forced to shift out of 9/11-happened-yesterday mode as the “official” unemployment rates rose to 9% in light of 474,000 new jobless claims last week.  And believe it or not they are trying to say that the unemployment situation is actually looking up.  Because, they say, 244,000 jobs were added last month by the private sector. 

This 244,000 number is put out by the big business corporate lying scum that are thriving right now.  Of course the number is a lie as even the phony numbers put out by our so called government show no new jobs.  And remember this 244,000 is supposed to be for an entire month, while the 474,000 represents a single week.

There were 474,000 new jobless claims this week.  When the weekly number dropped to 375,000, they dropped the unemployment rate.  I guess now that it jumped to 474,000 they will kick it back up to 10.5%.  I heard one commentator saying that he thought the Oregon extension could have been the reason for the massive increase.  Wrong.  In Oregon we filed on our old claims and the 22,000 that filed for the extension were not counted as filing new jobless claims. 

There is no more sugar coating this mess and they know it.  That why they had to throw out a nine year old frozen corpse to resurrect 9/11 from the dead.  Things are bad in every quarter and our so called representatives are making a conscious effort to not talk about it.

President Obama is now refusing to release the photos of the dead Osama Bin Laden, using as an excuse that the release might cause an increase in violence in Afghanistan.  What an assertion, saying violence might increase in a war zone and that danger to our troops might heighten.  We know he does not care about our soldiers or he would not have them in Afghanistan fighting a phony war being perpetrated for nothing more than money.

The mainstream propagandists are now labeling those who believe Sunday night’s raid in Pakistan was a staged event as “Deathers” using a play on the slang “Birthers” who do not believe Obama was born in the United States, and “Truthers” who believe our government was involved in 9/11. 
Continue reading “The Truth Behind the Osama Bin Laden Photos”

What is going on in the news is certainly no secret as the Bin Laden barrage continues for the fifth straight day.  Congress has been back in session since Monday and I personally would like to know what those traitors are up to.  Well I guess most important to the 99ers would be what our self imposed champion, Barbara Lee, is doing to push HR 589 before the House. 

Let’s see, well actually she is not doing anything for the 99ers.  She wrote President Obama a letter calling for an expedited draw down of troops in Afghanistan in light of Bin Laden’s death, ah there he is again.  And she’s working diligently to reestablish woman’s health care in Washington DC, which has nothing to do with 99ers as we can’t afford health care.

As I announced in an earlier article I received a six week unemployment extension from the State of Oregon.  Now it is looking like it is only going to be a four week extension, as 22,000 people filed and there is not sufficient money for a full six weeks.  That is 22,000 people who have not been counted as unemployed for about a year now, thus showing once again that the numbers being put out by the federal government are completely and deliberately false. 

We have been giving Pakistan about $4 billion per year for the past ten years.  The majority of this money has been pocketed by a few of its highest officials.  $40 billion would have easily financed a Tier 5 unemployment extension.  But what the hell, we are just lowly American citizens with no claim whatsoever to the wealth being produced by our nation’s natural resources.

Well 99ers, Congress reconvened yesterday, not that anyone noticed as every mainstream broadcast was inundated with “Bin Laden is dead.”  I don’t really see what the big deal is, everyone out there does realize that this is the ninth time he has been dead.  Yes you heard me correctly, nine times.  Back in April of 2002 Alex Jones interviewed one Steve Pieczenik who was Henry Kissinger’s right hand man.  Pieczenik said at that time that Osama Bin Laden was dead and that his body was being kept in deep freeze, waiting to be brought forth when it would be of great political advantage.  Well I guess that day came.

Obama was down in the polls and the great Nobel Peace Prize winner had just found himself responsible for the deaths of three little children in Libya.  All of this being reported as the Al Qaida in Libya were cheering in the streets for the murder of those three little children.

Hey, did you hear?  We got Bin Laden.  Another old CIA asset bites the dust.  That is if he was actually alive to be killed in a mansion/compound where they say he has been living for the past three years.  Is that limburger cheese I smell?  I guess everyone had better shut their mouths in even uttering the words, “Cut defense spending.”  I mean hell, we got Bin Laden.  He is now no longer a threat to the people of the United States and at the low, low price of only $1 trillion.  Who could possibly complain?

Personally I am ecstatic as somehow 36 degrees feels warmer this morning and that bowl of oatmeal was more than enough to suffice until dinner.  Happy days are here again, Bin Laden is dead.  Just when I thought this propaganda blitz had been pushed to its maximum extreme, bam, it is double down.

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 the neo-cons are coming at us full force riding on the wave of confusion created by the big birth certificate release and the royal wedding.  I am going to make something perfectly clear today.  Paul Ryan, Rand Paul, John Boehner, Michelle Bachman, Eric Cantor, Newt Gingrich, and John McCain are neo-cons.  These are some of the same rat bastards that helped George W. Bush bring our country to its knees when they held the power under that regime. 

Their top propagandists are Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck, Stuart Varney, and Andrew Napolitano.  These people represent and have always represented 80% of the top 10%.  When they say this country is going broke, that is a truth.  When they say there must be cuts in spending, that is a half truth.  When they say Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid have to be cut, that is a lie.
