At what point are we going to care that the govt. is ILLEGALLY wire-tapping us with no court orders? It seems congress is standing up for us a little bit with the wired networks, but this is the first I’m hearing about the wireless networks. I say we should all boycott Verizon!
Ok.. so as if I haven’t complained enough about the fucked up primary process we use to choose our nominee here comes something else to piss me off. Howard Dean is calling for Obama and Clinton to get into a room and decide who is going to be the nominee.. forget the convention and the delegates and the ‘democratic’ process (the way the super delegates and primarys work are hardly democratic, but that’s another story)… he thinks that we should just anoint someone right off.
Now the election at this point is coming down to who can raise more money and last all the way to the convention since clearly neither is going to win this thing before then. However, if one has to drop out due to money issues, well.. you can see how that would work out.
In some ways I think that the primaries are for us, the democratic voters to decide who we want to represnet us, but on the other hand it’s really up to the DNC right? I mean, they decide weather states can pledge delegates to their convention (see florida). They choose the rules of the whole deal. Why should we expect that we could simply have some transparent way to choose? Why can’t we just have a nationwide popular vote to choose our nominee?
I wish there was some other way to be involved in politcs.. some other party I could choose.. but that’s just hope and in America that only gets you so far.
Life. It’s a choice between fear and love.
Did you see Zeitgeist yet? If not, take a couple of hours, sit down and watch this. This movie attmepts to tell us the truth. The truth of religion, politics, and money.. the 3 things we’re “never supposed to talk about with others”.
Did you know that there is no law that says we need to pay taxes and that they are unconstitional? Did you know that the Federal Reserve is a private company? Did you know that 9/11 was an inside job? Did you know that Jesus quite possible never existed? There are so many shocking things talked about in this film. And yes, it’s all documented and verifyable.
It makes me so mad to see how we as a people don’t care about this stuff! We’re being used. Real life is a reverse metephor of “The Matrix” where we are all just being used and the whole world we know of is an illusion. We live in the Brave New World right now. Why don’t we care?
This is great and I totally believe every word.
This is pretty awesome as well.

also some good stuff on bradblog (http://bradblog.com/) about this same topic.. The interesting thing is that there are paper ballots for these counties but it would take a challenge by Obama to force a manual recount and I would bet that he wouldn’t want to look like a sore looser here so I highly doubt they will do anything. These are the same machines that were on “Hacking Democracy” one of my favorite documentaries on the subject.
There is no doubt in my mind these machines were hacked.. none.
I’ve been telling anyone who would listen for about 3 years now about the fraudulent recount effort of the 2004 presidential election in Ohio that would (in my opinion) have proved that the election was stolen by the evil slimy Bush bastards. It was also recounted quite well in the HBO documentary “HackingDemocracy“. Well, two of the election workers involved were charged with rigging the recount and they have been found guilty and sentenced to 18 months in jail. This is good news. The bad news is multi-faceted. First I’m upset that they only got 18 months. Clearly what they did was tantamount to treason and they should have at least gotten life in prison for subverting our constitution. Second I’m upset becasue you won’t find anywhere in the MSM this story.. I looked with no luck and I’m sure you won’t see this on TV. Lastly, I’m most upset because this does nothing to remove Bush from the White House.. at the least, congress could investigate.. According to Bradblog only 6 Kerry votes in each Ohio precinct would have made him the winner. oh wait.. the ballots have been destroyed even though a Judge ordered them saved.. hmn.. interesting. Fuckers. Why aren’t more of us upset about this?
this is pretty cool.. the CIA has released 702 pages known as the “family jewels” which are docs about the Castro assassination attempt, project mockingbird (bugging of post reporters) and other stuff.. check it out!
Finally some good news on the voting front.. First off it seems as if the state of Florida is going to outlaw paperless touch screen voting systems and mandate the usage of optical scan machines.. This is really good since it would allow meaningful recounts.. Secondly, and much more important 2 of the election workers in Ohio are going to jail for the fraud they perpetrated during the 2004 presidential election recount (You may have seen the story on the HBO special on Bev Harris a while back.. man was I mad when I saw that!). The sad thing is that their bosses (who were clearly part of the conspiracy) got off.. Now I wonder if we can recall Bush over this…

So, I noticed in my blog stats that I’ve been getting a ton of traffic from ip addresses that belong to a company called Digital Infinity. Apparently they are running some email harvesting bot (I’ve since blocked them). For those interested, see here, here and here. Anyway, in my hunt I came across the home page of a guy named Tom Christian who has this long story to tell about Valerie Plame and the CIA and (apparently since I never finished reading it) how they tormented and followed him for the better part of 10 years. I eventually will finish reading it.. it reminds me of the Mel Gibson characters rants in “Conspiracy Theorey” actually, but who knows? Maybe this guy has a valid story…
