Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Congressman Bobby Scott (D-VA) continued the fight to pass HR 589, the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Expansion Act. Reps. Lee and Scott met today with Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), and discussed the possibility of bringing HR 589 to the House floor for a vote.

Well apparently the meeting between Boehner, Cantor, Lee, and Scott did occur this morning, though it would seem it was a lot to do about nothing.   I have to believe that nothing of substance occurred because if it did Lee and Scott would have been shouting their own praise coming out the door. 

This view is further verified in that in calling Lee’s office I was told that her press agent was out of the office.  He had asked me to call him before I launched further attacks on Barbara Lee.  Continue reading “Barbara Lee, Bobby Scott, Eric Cantor and John Boehner Discuss HR 589 for 99ers”

This review from our Red Pill Documentaries page covers Police State 4-The Rise of FEMA which was released in 2010. The Rise of FEMA is the latest version of the Alex Jones Police State documentaries, and centers around the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

In this film Jones points out that this government agency has been building internment camps all over the United States, for purposes that include detention of U.S. citizens. The film also shows the executive orders, which allows FEMA to suspend the bill of rights and place us under martial law with no authority from Congress.

Senator Rand Paul was front and center on FOX News Wednesday morning announcing plans to attack Social Security.  There is a little bit of tongue twisting propaganda that we are going to straighten out today.  Rand Paul’s and John Boehner’s crews are expounding that they will not raise taxes and in fact are going to cut taxes further for the rich corporations.  Here is the truth.  When the cuts in Social Security and Medicare are made the elderly are going to have to go to their retirement accounts to make up the shortfalls.  That is a tax on retirement accounts. 

Rand Paul says he wants to cut food stamps.  I know nobody gives a damn about the poor so let’s look at it from a different angel.  Families in our military saw an increase in the need for food stamps from $24.9 million in 2007 to $73 million in 2010 and that is just what was spent in commissaries.  Continue reading “99ers HR 589 Supporters – They are Not Going to Give, They are Going to Take More”

Once again Barry Soetoro is being compared to Ronald Regan as he comes forth with a new batch of spending cuts.  I guess you could compare the two in that they both represent rich elitist traitors.  So without a mention of the 99ers or anybody else living like a dog shouldn’t in this country, here they go again. 

Just as a precursor I will let you neo-cons and your new Regan know something right out the gate.  We 99ers and those still left in the middle class are way past tired of being trickled on by the corporate elite.  What every American needs to understand is that Obama and his crew, Boehner and his crew, and Rand Paul and his crew all defecate through the same hole.  We have to see them for what they are; a troupe of actors.  They are handed a script, they practice their parts, and then they put on a performance.  In each performance some wear black hats and some wear white hats and all are shooting for an Academy Award.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a stay of Arizona’s immigration law.  The Arizona law provides for law enforcement to check the legal status of anyone they suspect of being a non-citizen.  When I am pulled over for a traffic stop the plate on my car and my driver license is run by the officer and if my papers are not in order I am handcuffed, taken to jail, and held until I straighten the matter out to their satisfaction.  The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has just sanctioned invasion.

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer was outraged, telling President Obama that if he would do his job and enforce the law, the people of Arizona wouldn’t have to be doing it for him.   She further indicated that the federal government was trying to run the sovereign state of Arizona out of time and money in an effort to protect felons from another country.

The Fukushima Nuclear Plant is now being referred to as “Japan’s Chernobyl” as the radiation threat level is raised from 5 to 7.  Of course do not be surprised if next week the threat level is back down to 5 again and those in the governments and the mainstream media are pretending that today never happened.  Nuclear radioactivity is frightening but what is more frightening is the cover up. 

Last week we reported that 11,000 tons of radioactive water from the Fukushima reactors was taken by ship out to sea and dumped.  This story was in the mainstream for one day.  The next day the mainstream showed the Japanese towing a huge fishing platform into the area and it was reported that the radioactive water being pumped from the reactors and storage facilities would be stored on the barge.

Apparently John Boehner was available for interviews on Monday morning as he was trying to repair his relationship with the neo-cons which was damaged when he sold them out in this latest budget deal.  At least we know where Boehner’s priorities lie, which is in kissing the right arses. 

The point is the time he spent doing his “Boehner is a good guy” commercials could have been better spent elsewhere.  I mean what would it take, maybe five minutes to sit down with Barbara Lee and Bobby Scott, laugh in their faces, and tell them HR 589 will pass when pigs fly?  Who knows if he will ever get the time?

The mainstream left wing propagandist, Chris Matthews, continued his bizarre attack on Donald Trump first  initiated when Trump began his investigation to settle the question once and for all, “Is Barak Obama a United States citizen or not?”   The deeper Trump digs the more it seems that the evidence that Obama was born in Hawaii does not exist.  The more evident this truth becomes the more pitiful Matthews defense of Obama follows suit.  In fact he seems bordering on the edge of desperate as more and more people are coming forth and stating the obvious.

It seems that the person who issued the certificate of live birth would have had to, and says he did; look at the original birth certificate.  Now wouldn’t it seem logical that if the birth certificate did indeed exist it would be a simple matter for the President of the United States to obtain it and hold it up high for the world to see?  All speculation aside, why would you not?

A majority of Americans have seen or at least know of the 1984 movie classic Red Dawn.  The film portrayed a Soviet invasion of the continental United States wherein a group of high school students identifying themselves with their high school mascot (the Wolverines) are forced through circumstances to form up into a guerilla force conducting operations behind enemy lines.  The film was a big hit as the Soviet Union and its allies in Nicaragua was considered the greatest threat to the United States at that time.

In the fall of 2009 plans were put forth for a remake of Red Dawn, this time, rather than Soviets and Nicaraguans in Colorado, it was to be Chinese invading the US and set in Washington State.  The new film was to be completed and released in November, 2010.  The filming was completed however the release was stopped.  And who stopped it?  It was indeed the Chinese government.  Evidently the properties held by the Chinese government in the United States and the money and power they represent caused MGM to rethink Red Dawn.

Ousted Egyptian President Mubarak, speaking for the first time in public since his fall from power said he had committed no crimes and would sue anyone who said otherwise.  Mubarak is being shown in a kinder light in the United States these days I suppose as a reward for his stepping down with little fight.  Approximately 300 Egyptian protesters have been killed to date as what is being billed as a counter revolution seems to be materializing.  Egyptians want Mubarak prosecuted for theft and corruption.  

I guess Libyan President Gaddafi showed the Africans that resistance is not futile.  I cannot believe that with 300 deaths in Egypt the U.S. has not invaded yet.  I suppose next week we will find out that the Egyptians are suing us for international discrimination and demanding as a redress that we bomb and then rebuild their country.  Hey it is only fair.

Senator Rand Paul has come forth proposing sweeping cuts to spending that he says will get us out of debt.  Of course the budget he is backing contains increases in military spending and more tax cuts for the corporate elite.  I have been a staunch supporter of Senator Paul since he stepped forth purporting his support for the restitution of our Constitution. 

I have something to tell Rand Paul in today’s article and that is I could very easily support and justify  what you are doing if you and the other junior senators will go after and retrieve the $26 trillion stolen by the international corporate mafia from the people of the United States.  But then if you did that it would become hard to justify taking medical care and revenues from the old and the poor.

Well the playoffs are over in Washington DC leaving all the fans on both sides wondering just who won the game.  The neo-cons, who were convinced that they had established a power base in the US Congress, woke up yesterday morning to find they had their throats cut.  And the socialists, who thought they had gotten their own version of Marx into the White House, well I think they are just too stupid to realize what has happened to them.

So who won and who lost in the big budget debate?  Well there was $38.5 billion in spending cuts, but of course $10 billion of that had already been accomplished through the last two riders, leaving a grand total of $28.5 billion in spending cuts.  Hell we have already spent more than that on our brand new war in Libya and bribes to the rest of the countries in the Middle East.

The phony left and phony right continued their good cop/bad cop routine until finally settling on a budget deal in the eleventh hour in an effort to suck the American people back into the false left-right paradigm; the Republicrats saying you must do as we say or our soldiers won’t get paid and the Democans saying you must do what we say or woman will die of cancer.  Hog wash. 

The Republicrats care only for their masters, the defense contractors, who are making billions from three wars in the Middle East and having our troops involved in other people’s business in 130 countries around the world.

This review from our Red Pill Documentaries page covers Waco – The Rules of Engagement which was released in 1997. 

On February 28’Th 1993 the home of David Koresh and his followers was attacked by A.T.F. agents. This attack led to a siege that lasted fifty days, and ended with the F.B.I. burning the ranch to the ground. This slaughter of seventy-six U.S. citizens included more than twenty children, two pregnant woman and Koresh himself. 

This documentary covers the Congressional Hearing, investigating the horrible crimes of the A.T.F and the F.B.I., which followed. The film brings into light the fact that the original raid by the A.T.F was unnecessary and done for publicity. The evidence revealed in this hearing also shows that the F.B.I. never intended for the inhabitants of the ranch to come out of this conflict alive.

The mainstream propagandists are finding themselves on the ropes as more and more citizens are seeing them for what they truly are.  Glenn Beck will soon be leaving FOX News and David Rockefeller is saying MSNBC, FOX News, and FOX Business News need to be shut down.   So why would a corporate elitist like Rockefeller want these networks shut down?  Simple, the mainstream networks are being forced to include more of the truth in their propaganda mix in an effort to maintain some credibility as they are losing the information war to the internet.

And today we find out via an article by Kurt Nimmo of prisonplanet.com that Obama has been paying hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to so called journalists to push Obamacare through their propaganda.  The money is apparently coming from a $5 billion federal grant fund labeled as Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP).

The Libyan rebels’ top military commander is evidently angry with NATO as the air strikes being provided by the U.S. led organization are too slow to crush the Libyan military to the point that the rebels can just walk in and claim their victory.  It would seem that our military is having a tough time in keeping our CIA’s promises to the rebels.

The rebel leaders are now blaming the international community for the deaths of their innocent women and children.  Apparently these rebels thought Libya was going to be another Iraq wherein the United States would come in under the guise of UN authority and use our military might to capture the country.  After which we would promptly turn it over to them and send contractors in to rebuild that what we blew up in the action.

Barbara Lee and company and John Boehner and company are scheduled to meet today to discuss HR 589.  What fruit if any these discussions will bear I do not know and indeed we here at From the Trenches will be the last to know as in the realm of 99ers we have become that red headed bastard step child  that no politician wants to claim as their own.  Who knows, maybe we’ll hear from the 99ers socialist Union tomorrow.

As for Boehner being willing to compromise on HR 589 I think the looming government shutdown on Friday speaks volumes.  I believe Boehner and company are on a one term suicide mission as they have come forth declaring a non-existent mandate from the people as their authority for bringing the causes of the ultra elite to the next level.  And I think the neo-con position on the 99er issue is pretty well set as their “Path to Prosperity” plan introduced on Tuesday calls for further cuts in unemployment benefits.

Four Republican Senators have introduced a bill that would limit citizenship being granted to babies born to illegal aliens in the United States.  The bill will end what is being called “Birth Tourism.”  Apparently 200,000 women come into the U.S. every year on visas for the sole purpose of giving birth in order that their children will have U.S. citizenship and every right and privilege associated therewith.

In California authorities recently shut down a birth clinic wherein at least ten babies of tourist moms became citizens for the low, low price of just $35,000 a pop.  Apparently this theft of our nation has become popular with the Chinese.  300,000 to 400,000 babies of at least one illegal alien parent are born in the U.S. every year.  Can anyone say “Fifth column invasion?”

The water leaking from the cracked pipe at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant in Japan is radiated 7.5 million times the legal limit. The flow has now been stopped after 26 days of gushing into the Pacific Ocean.   And as if this wasn’t bad enough, 11,000 tons of radiated water from the plant has now been hauled out into the Pacific and dumped.  My God, what are they thinking?  I guess the Japanese do not want their radiated water on their own property.  Better they dole it out to the world.

The Japanese government has issued an apology for radiating the Pacific Ocean.  You know what, I don’t want their apologies.  This is like your neighbor changing the oil in their car and dumping the waste over your fence because they do not want it in their yard.
