If you remember, Feinstein and Schumer were key to approving AG Mukasey, too.


Dem Sell-out Dianne Feinstein Attempts End-Run to Hand California Water to Billionaire Farmers

Censored story in the media:

Student Researcher: David Abbott, Amanda Spigut, and Ann Marie O’Toole
Faculty Evaluator: David McCuan, Ph.D.

Dianne Feinstein—the ninth wealthiest member of congress—has been beset by monumental ethical conflicts of interest. As a member of the Military Construction Appropriations Subcommittee (MILCON) from 2001 to the end of 2005, Senator Feinstein voted for appropriations worth billions of dollars to her husband’s firms.

# 23 Feinstein’s Conflict of Interest in Iraq in Top 25 Censored Stories for 2008

It's become abundantly clear that 99% of Americans have no representation in government. Democratic voters have to start holding Democrats accountable, and Republican voters have to start holding Republicans accountable...not the other way around. IE: stop being a "KOOK-AID" drinker for your party because they're screwing you. It's worse when your own party is screwing you and making a fool out of you, and that's happening to 99% of Americans. The Democrats and the Republicans: two faces of the same party. The Democrats won't stop the wars and ram in health care for all, and the Republicans aren't fiscally conservative and didn't stop abortion when they controlled all facets of government from 2000 to 2006. And do you call spending 2.5 BILLION on wars going on almost 9 years "fiscally conservative"? The World Police? And NONE of them mentioning the #1 expenditure as a way to cut spending - military spending? And I don't mean military salaries, they're skimpy with that. All of them are super rich and you aren't! They're all liars. And YOU have to start realizing it and hold YOUR OWN party responsible for screwing YOU! - BD



Technically, this is also a censored story in the media: that James O'Keefe never wore the "pimp" getup in the ACORN offices, like he and Breitbart led you to believe...

James O'Keefe never wore the "pimp" getup in the ACORN offices, it was a LIE - he edited the widespread video that was on TV and the internet; rightwing media personality Andrew Breitbart is trying to disassociate himself from O'Keefe but has admitted on TV that O'Keefe is on salary with him now that O'Keefe has been arrested for his little "sting" games against liberals, blacks, minorities, and Democrats:


Last September, when the ACORN scandal that his website helped launch was breaking in the press, Andrew Breitbart wrote a column for The Washington Times detailing the rollout of the undercover, right-wing gotcha. He recalled a 2009 meeting with "filmmaker and provocateur James O'Keefe" that took place in Breitbart's office in June. It was there that O'Keefe played the columnist the surreptitiously recorded videos he'd made with his sidekick, Hannah Giles, and which captured the two famously getting advice from ACORN workers on how prostitutes could skirt tax laws.

In his Times column, Breitbart was quite clear about what he saw that day in his office: He watched videos of O'Keefe "dressed as a pimp" sitting inside ACORN offices "asking for -- and getting -- help" from the misguided employees.

But today we know that's almost certainly not true.

What happens when 4 right wing hacks deny reality and facts? When they're put up against Ring of Fire's own Mike Papantonio, he let's them know what really is happening in the world, and how they are the ones who kept pushing the toxic trash that helped crash our economy. As you can see in this clip, they don't always enjoy being forced to live in reality. (BD: notice the FOX shills call Mike Papantonio "nuts" and "conspiracy theorist" and they back Goldman Sachs and blame Greece's economic crisis on "entitlements" or social programs instead of Goldman Sachs)

  2. Moving to California in 1976 was an agricultural shock! In Wisconsin a 350 acre farm was considered big. They were run typically by a family that lived on the property. Plowing was done with a tractor and disc, even with a horse and hand guided plow where the hills were steep.

    Upon arriving here and traveling just north of Sacramento I found plots of land, 5,000 acres or more, being leveled with huge laser guided plows. Large tracts of land flooded to grow rice, walnut orchards the go on for miles down the highway. What houses there were on these properties were mostly abandoned and in poor repair. Corporate farms everywhere. To the south huge feed lots such as the Harris Ranch near Coalinga abound through the central valley.
    I was appalled!

  9. Rage Against the Machine - Renegades of Funk

    ReplyDelete
  10. Rage Against the Machine is an American rock band formed in 1991 in Los Angeles, California. Rage Against the Machine are notable for their innovative blend of alternative rock, punk rock, hip hop, heavy metal and funk as well as their politics and lyrics.[1] Rage Against the Machine drew inspiration from early heavy metal instrumentation, as well as rap acts such as Afrika Bambaataa,[1] Public Enemy and Urban Dance Squad.[2]

    In 1992, the band released its self-titled debut album, which became a commercial success, leading to a slot in the 1993 Lollapalooza. The band did not release a follow-up record until 1996, with Evil Empire. The band's third album The Battle of Los Angeles was released in 1999. During their initial nine year run, they became one of the most popular and influential political bands in contemporary music.[3]

    Shortly after breaking up in 2000, the band released the cover album Renegades. Zack de la Rocha started a low-key solo career; the rest of the band formed the rock supergroup Audioslave with Chris Cornell, former frontman of Soundgarden, which had disbanded in 1997. Audioslave disbanded in 2007, and in April of that year, Rage Against the Machine performed together for the first time in seven years at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The band continued to perform at multiple live venues around the world in 2008.

    So are you LISTENING to Alex Jones, Danny?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH-zRrutJ_Q

    He's saying exactly what I've been saying for a LONG time. I was screaming this stuff last summer, and you keep telling me I'm wrong. When people start rising up, everybody who wants a movement moves in to help move it in their direction. Just because the RNC is hitting it for all they're worth, and the white supremacists are trying pretty hard, doesn't mean that lefties who want the same things can't get in there and join with the Ron Paul people, the ORIGINAL people, who are still there, booing the assholes and doing stuff like INVITING WILL GRIGG TO SPEAK AT THEIR RALLIES. They're the ONLY people trying to stand up to take our country back. And there's Alex Jones, singing it.

    DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER IF THE PRESIDENT IS OBAMA OR PALIN OR DONALD DUCK!!!!!!

    FUCK!

    Forget who you disagree with. Forget who you think is a fucking liar. Get with the people trying to rise up to make this stop OR THEY WILL FAIL... and WE will fail. Stop listening to the shills for the Democrats and the polemicists who JUST want to make a buck on the culture wars, PRETENDING to be activists for "democracy"....

    Alex Jones, in this linked video, is PRECISELY right.

    People have to stop yammering about trivia and get out there and FIGHT to stop these evil motherfuckers.


    He ALSO says the neo-cons have co-opted the Tea Party and Sarah Palin is a SHAM, which is what I've been saying. And I haven't disagreed with you, we're talking about two different things.

  25. Lets just say it was Mossad. Now lets just say it is 1000% proven that it was Mossad.

    Then shouldn't one then also say that it was a state sponsored act of terrorism by the rogue state of Israel.
    Israel should then be treated as such, and become part of the axis of evil.
    Would the Bush 1% doctrine then not apply to Israel?

  27. Here's a plow similar to the ones I'm talking about. Those are about twice as big and have motors or hydrolics that raise and lower the blade. A surveying laser is set up on a tripod. (A surveying laser has a mirror which spins so the beam rotates in a level plane.) The sensors on the plow keep the blade adjusted perfectly level as the tractor pulls it along creating a perfect rice paddy.
