The slant of the propaganda is now taking on the face of deregulation.  For the past two years we have been force fed the idea that the deregulation during the Bush era is what caused our most recent economic collapse.  How many times will they be allowed to use the same con over and over before we stand up in unison and say, “No more.”

Most 99ers are old enough to remember the savings and loans collapse of the 1970s.  And what did they say to us back then?  It is not right that you tax payers are having to bail the banks out who caused this collapse through criminal mismanagement.  They further said that we are going to put such regulations on the banks that it will be insured that this will never happen again.  Now we have gone from, “We must regulate” to “We must deregulate” in just two years, which tells me that another mass screwing is on the horizon.

Well we made it through Christmas so what lies ahead?  There will be that quiet lull between Christmas and New Years and then we start the whole thing over again.  Many states are facing a budget shortfall, which means they will be looking for bailouts from the federal government.  We need to remember that every state is in reality just another business, or in this case, failing business.  Like Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac.

When the failing states (businesses) come for the bailouts we will see the same scenario.  You see states are too big to fail and if they are allowed to do so it could cost millions of jobs and a double dip recession. They will continue to use the same catch-all excuse until somebody either calls their bluff or the whole country is finally thrown into bankruptcy.

Peace on Earth, good will toward men.  Sounds like a noble pursuit but every day we move further away from that reality.  The propaganda brainwashing of the day is centered on selfishness and greed.  It has become a virtue to acquire those thirty pieces of silver by any means under the guise that it creates jobs.

I expect any day to see a remake of The Passion wherein Judas is portrayed as a caring business man who rose above those in his poor company through brilliant ingenuity.  And then portraying Christ as an undesirable trying to disrupt commerce and hurt the economy.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; So why was it so quiet? I’ll tell you, I know, The house was repoed some six months ago;

There was no stocking, no tree, no hope, not a care, Which makes perfect good sense as there was nobody there; The kids were long gone; it was as if they were dead, You see CPS took them because of something I said.

Mama in her long johns and I just a cap, Had lain down in our tent for a long winter’s nap; When out in the park there arose such a clatter, I jumped to my knees and said, “Now what’s the matter?”

The stock market continues to rise as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.  The international corporate mafia is seeing maximum profits on the $4 billion they invested in the 2010 elections.  Never in the history of this nation has the purchase of political power been so blatantly obvious.  The advocates of the elite are at present holding up a bill that would provide health care and cash benefits to those who were once deemed 911 Heroes.

Many are asking the question how those in the Senate can possibly justify ignoring the plight of the first responders.  Well, they began by using their massive propaganda machine to instill into the American psyche that it is okay to ignore the suffering of 7 million 99ers who lost their jobs through no fault of their own.

99ers held candlelight vigils across the nation Monday night.  No one knows how many participated as the event went unreported by the mainstream media.  The vigil appears to have had no effect.  Why?  Well I will tell you.  The international corporate mafia consists of hard core criminals.  They are not impressed by candlelight vigils.  Their modus operandi is to divide and rule by force, and until the 99ers realize that the only way to defeat force is through force, we are doomed to obscurity.

How naive it is to think that anyone who works for our enemies is going to do anything to help us.  The traitors that occupy our highest seats of power see us as no threat to their structure.  Why?  Because we do not have wealth and our numbers are too fragmented and our cause too undefined to effect change.  They own the mainstream media which is too heavily relied upon by us for communication.  These propagandists must be considered their front line troops as they have a vested interest in seeing the plans of the international corporate mafia succeed.

The American 99ers Union held a nationwide candlelight vigil last night.  If these people ever had an original thought it was lonely.  I’m telling everybody reading this that I am on the verge of pulling this site as I will not have the strategies developed in the Think Tank used to promote the cause of socialism.

I had contact a while back from Gregg Rosen, co-founder of American 99ers Union, wherein he asked me why I so vehemently attacked his organization.  To which I replied that I would never accept socialism as a remedy for unemployment.  In his next email he stated emphatically that the American 99ers Union was not a socialist organization.  Continue reading “99ers Cannot Allow Socialism to Prevail”

Well the multi-million dollar propagandists have achieved in assuring that every multi-billionaire can afford a new Mercedes Benz in the coming year.  So what is next on their agenda?  They are now expounding like evangelist preachers that the hands of the rich are being tied by that nasty old minimum wage.

The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.  A typical family of four with both adults working 40 hours per week at minimum wage is $30,160 in a year.  After state taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and health care expenses are figured into the equation, the average family of four with both parents working is living at or below the poverty level.  This being said it should seem absolutely reasonable to all concerned that they should settle for less.

Arkansas’ Ex-Governor Mike Huckabee, commenting on Fox News, addressed the issue of the long term unemployed.  He put forth the same rhetoric designed at demonizing the 99ers that has become a mainstay of the mainstream propagandists.  They always say the word 99er before stating that the existence of unemployment deters the unemployed from looking for work, confusing the issue in indicating that the 99ers will not find work because they are receiving unemployment.  This is a propagandist con man trick.  Every time one of these scum bags tries to use it we must immediately counter with the undeniable fact that 99ers are receiving no unemployment.

The midnight Congress overwhelmingly passed the Bush era tax cuts extensions for the top 2%.  The so called conservative Republicans are calling the passage a victory for the American people.  But what does the passage of the bill really equate to?  Well this is what happened.  Our so called representatives were given a choice.  Let the Bush era tax cuts sunset, which was a part of the original bill, or borrow billions of dollars to continue paying taxes for the rich.  They chose the latter.

So now the taxes of the top 2% will be paid by our grandchildren.  By the time the smallest among them reaches maturity they will be $500,000 in debt.  The children of the rich are assured a life of prosperity and being served by the children of the poor. The rich have been careful to throw enough scraps to the middle class to keep them complacent for a couple more years while they whittle away at its lower tiers.

Demopublicans and Republicrats became as one to pass the tax cuts extensions for the top 2% at the eleventh hour.  They had played the game as long as they possibly could, though they have saved enough time to push through the legislation that is truly important to their commie arses, and that is, “Don’t ask, don’t tell.”  They should all make it home in time to open their elaborate Christmas presents from the filthy rich.

Of course the 99ers are told once again, “Eat snow.”  The fact is the Demorats could have passed tax cut legislation excluding the top 2% back when they had their super-majority. Continue reading “99er Unemployed, the Top 2% get theirs, 99ers Left to Rot in a Hole in the Ground”

Could a Tier 5 realistically be passed at this late date?  The answer is yes.  The House at present has the Bush tax cuts extension legislation at a standstill.  There is talk among the Democrats of making alterations to the legislation and sending it back to the Senate.  The changes they are considering are to the estate tax.  They want to lower the rate exempt and increase the rate on that which is not exempt.

But what if on top of that change they also add a Tier 5 unemployment extension for six months.  When the legislation went back to the Senate it would have to be voted on and those votes would be recorded.  There is no doubt that a proposed Tier 5 extension being added would be all over the mainstream news.  And every voting 99er would be watching.  If the Senate dared vote the legislation down, the 99ers would make sure that those responsible would not be reelected to office in 2012.

Millions of Americans are busy completing their Christmas shopping.  We 99ers are not among them.  This will be the first year that I will not be able to afford to buy a single present for my children and grandchildren.  Am I disheartened?  No I am not, I’m mad as hell.

There is $8 billion in pork barrel spending contained in the budget legislation which I assure you will be passed by the lame duck congress.  Some of the items that are more important than American citizens starving to death in the cold are studying peanuts in Georgia, studying arthropod damage in Nevada, an $8 million Institute for the U.S. Senate in the name of Edward M. Kennedy, and roundabouts in Mississippi.

Stuart Varney of Fox Business News expounded his British tenacity to new heights yesterday when he stated that the extension of the Bush era tax cuts are “A done deal” and “I told you the Democrats would not commit political suicide in trying to stop them.”

Who the hell does this Tory think he is?  The fact is at the time Varney was making these statements the tax cuts legislation had not even made it through the Senate, let alone the House.  This multi-million dollar propagandist thinks he can manipulate our Congress by pretending to be a news man and reporting hypotheticals as facts.

Upscale homes in Cape Cod, Massachusetts are being targeted by arsonist(s) who it is speculated may be waging an anarchist type war against the rich.  There is also the possibility that the arson is being perpetrated for other reasons and the signatures left by the arsonist(s) are designed to throw authorities off their trail.  The arsonist(s) reportedly spray painted “F*@% the Rich” on the side of one of the houses that was attacked.

Some are speculating that if this is a form of class warfare it is being fueled by comments being made in Washington DC by lawmakers like Bernie Sanders who frequently mentions class warfare. Continue reading “99ers Unemployed Class Warfare?”

Alexandra Jarrin, a 53 year old 99er from Vermont has started a letter writing campaign directed at Senator Bernie Sanders of her state.  Apparently she wants 99ers to send letters to her depicting their deplorable plight, after which she prints them and delivers them to Bernie Sanders’ office.

Wow, what an idea.  Why couldn’t I have thought of that?  I mean, all we really have to do is print all those letters that we have been sending to their emails and bam, they are going to say, “This is real.  We have to help them.  They took the time to actually print the letters and deliver them to our office.”

Apparently there is a new jobs plan out there which would extend unemployment benefits through a low interest loan.  This is one of the more logical and constitutional remedies I have heard.  The only problem is if the loan was distributed in weekly checks I doubt it would help the average 99er become employed.

In third world countries banks are giving micro loans to entrepreneurs to start small businesses.  And the program is working.  Of the course the people of third world countries do not have the barrier of a credit score to make them ineligible for any kind of loan.

Senator Bernie Sanders, an Independent Senator from Vermont, staged a filibuster in the House of Representatives yesterday.  Actually it was not a real filibuster but a show put on for the media.  I took the time to listen to some of Mr. Sanders’ rantings.  I heard a lot about the inequality represented by extending the tax cuts for the top 2% of earners in America.  He also read letters from back home from working poor people who were slowly seeing their worlds collapse.  What I did not hear him mention was the deplorable state the 99ers find themselves in.

Still, advocating for the poor against the rich would seem to be an admirable pursuit.  That is until I looked into whom Mr. Sanders is a little closer.  Continue reading “Tier 5 Unemployed Say No to Socialism”

Well the million dollar Fox News propagandists were front and center in jumping to the defense of their number one advocate, Barack Obama AKA Barry Soetoro.  This little scenario should go a long way in proving the reality of the false left-right paradigm.  When the rubber meets the road and the international corporate mafia’s money is on the line, the two party system ceases to exist.

The Republicrats, on the other hand, who swore they were going to stop the pork barrel spending, are now pushing for $144 billion in earmarks.  Let’s see, that is four, almost five tiers of unemployment extensions, but hey, who’s counting?

The 99ers have disappeared from the radar screen again.  It is indeed funny how we can exist one moment and not the next.  I think our mention in the mainstream news should be considered a proper gage as to how under control they believe they have us.  When we start beating the war drums we appear on every station.  The problem is once they’ve mentioned us we shut up, sit back, and start waiting for results.  I’m afraid that’s not how it works.

All 99ers need to realize that we are under a constant pressure that is pushing us down.  When we push ourselves up the smallest fraction, we are then relaxing and allowing ourselves to be pushed down even further.  Hell, I’ve been hearing talk of relieving us of our right to vote.  If this were to happen, we would truly be disenfranchised and dispossessed.
