Here’s my story… I could not believe youtube muted this video. I used an old Bo Diddley tune and also an ancient song called “If I Knew You Were Coming I’d Have Baked A Cake”. It fitted well with the pictures and did no harm. It’s getting so you can hardly upload anything, without the Youtube Gestapo blocking it. I need to find another not so damn touchy server to upload my NOT FOR MONEY, NOT FOR PROFIT fun, family videos. BUMMER!

Update, I replaced the muted track for one of Youtube’s (El Chupacabra Anna Coogan and North19)
Hey, it works, I take it all back. I THINK thinkingblue

BAILOUTS MAKING MONKEYS OUT OF US ALL

January 31, 2009 on 2:11 pm | In Uncategorized | No Comments

A friend of mine sent me the below clever forward about the first bailout package set forth by the Bush Administration. I thought, GOOD ANALYSES, FOR SURE, THE WALL STREET GANGBANGERS MADE MONKEYS OUT OF YOU AND ME… Bailouts make no sense at all… Especially the bonus part… (giving billions and billions of bonuses to top executives for failure… YIKES! BEAM ME UP SCOTTIE!)Goes to show you… only the very rich can expect government help… THE POOR? Well the hell with the poor… Reagan started bashing the poor when he coined the phrase WELFARE QUEENS…

WELFARE QUEEN: The term entered the
American lexicon during Ronald Reagan’s 1976
presidential campaign when he described a
“welfare queen” from Chicago’s South Side.
Since then, it has become a stigmatizing label placed
on recidivist poor mothers, with studies showing that
it often carries gendered and racial connotations.
Although american women can no longer stay on welfare
indefinitely, the term continues to shape American
dialogue on poverty.So when Governor Ronald Reagan aimed his political
ambition to the White House, the legend of the
so-called welfare queen became a rhetorical red meat
for Mr. Ronald Reagan, who had conveniently
“employed the graphic anecdote as a devastating
campaign weapon” given the fact that the poll at
the time showed that the food stamp program was rated
the most unpopular social welfare program. As the
president of the United States, Ronald Regan
continued doing what he had been doing since he was
the Governor of the State of California –
cutting social programs in the names of fighting
“waste, fraud and abuse,” cutting domestic
programs like food stamps and school lunches,
preaching fiscal frugality and distrust of
government; forcing welfare mothers to work; feeding
of rugged individual heroism, as he stated in his
1981 inaugural address – “We have every
right to dream heroic dreams…I am addressing the
heroes of whom I speak – you, the citizens of
this blessed land.” – meaning, everyone can
pull themselves up by the bootstraps; poor people are
heroes too who can take care of themselves; they are
not society’s or government’s responsibility.
from this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_queen

You’re on Welfare… if you get help from the government to feed your children but if you are a wealthy corporate executive, you are not a Welfare recipient, you are just getting a BAILOUT to help the American Economy… WHAT? Scottie where the hell are you? thinkingblue

Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort.

He next announced that he would now buy monkeys at $20 each. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so scarce it was an effort to even find a monkey, let alone catch it! The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would buy on his behalf.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers: “Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has already collected. I will sell them to you at $35 … and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each.”The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys for 700 billion dollars.

They never saw the man or his assistant again, only lots and lots of monkeys! Now you have a better understanding of how the WALL STREET BAILOUTS WORK!!

IN A NUTSHELL

When acting in accordance with the greater fool theory,an investor buys questionable securities without anyregard to their quality, but with the hope of quickly selling them off to another investor (the greater fool),who might also be hoping to flip it quickly. Unfortunately, speculative bubbles always burst eventually, leading to a rapid depreciation in share price due to the selloff.

Why is it OK for Israel (for anyone) to kill?
January 11, 2009 on 6:40 pm | In Uncategorized | No Comments
I am saddened by what is going on in the Gaza strip. Israel’s, killing, maiming innocent children, hardly qualifies under the axiom of “THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS”. What end? It seems there’s no end, only beginnings for more mayhem. Technological war, blitzkrieg itself, just perpetuates the disquiet and thus, allows no healing, only relapse.

During his visit to Israel on July 2008, President-elect Barack Obama told the media: “If somebody was sending rockets into my house where my two daughters sleep, I’m going to do everything in my power to stop that. I would expect Israelis to do the same thing.” However, on the slaughter of Palestinian children by Israeli forces, Obama has failed to condemn Israel and seems to espouse sickening contradictions. From: http://www.countercurrents.org/hassan070109.htm

There is so much depravity in this world perpetrated by man on man. We are supposed to be the intelligent animal. Will we ever start using that intelligence? Dismally, I think not. thinkingblue

PS: If the Palestinians were launching a blitzkrieg upon Israel and innocent Israeli children were being slaughtered with the help of a Super Power, I would feel as appalled. No one is in the right here, only wrong is going on. It is wrong to kill, it is especially wrong to kill innocent children who did not ask to be born into insanity. There are no words for the gloom that’s happening, it should not be taking place and should end. But if everyone looks away, worse, condones it, these macabre wrongs will never be righted and the guiltless will go on suffering. Deeply paying for the inanity of those who are suppose to protect them. The silly sophomoric,” IT’S YOUR FAULT, NO IT’S YOUR FAULT, MOST ASSUREDLY IT’S THEIR FAULT”, doesn’t work any more! If we care anything about our planet, if we care anything about our children, we must all seek ways to end the savagery.

Show Me Your Papers - Nazi Germany in America
December 28, 2008 on 7:01 pm | In Uncategorized | No Comments
The New York Times, has a very informative article this month about Incarceration for profits, called: “CITY OF IMMIGRANTS” (A must read)

~~~~~~~~~~~

Building more jails and prisons, was always an acceptable practice. After all, how else can “they” protect “their” citizens from evil criminals? That’s what we (the public) were led to believe. Today, prisons are being built strictly for profit, right under our noses, without our knowledge. Each person’s body they imprison will give the state or county an extra amount of money, so of course the objective is to fill these jails to capacity or overcapacity. Isn’t this a nice legal way to obtain revenue even though it smells of Nazi style fascism? It reminds me of the uproar the “Reagan era system”, created by claiming, poor women have babies just to get an increase in their monthly welfare checks. What a stigma that was on mothers living in poverty, standing in line at the bank to cash their monthly living allotment. Oh the shame the government, OUR GOVERNMENT heaped upon such families, simply because they asked for a helping hand from a coldhearted system. (Same helping hand, big Wall Street banks, Corporations and other Fat Cats are soliciting this very moment) But I digress…

Read the full article, http://www.nytimes.com-CITY OF IMMIGRANTS

for a truthful examination of how the people who run our government will connive and scheme to make profit off the backs of ANYONE but especially the vulnerable,   (in this case, those without papers) who “they” can legally capture up in their big nets of inhumanity for the sole purpose of $$$ GAIN. thinkingblue

McCAIN PALIN AND THE LUNATIC FRINGE
October 23, 2008 on 8:19 pm | In Uncategorized | No Comments
McCain said: “I’m proud of the people who come to our rallies” (even the ones
who scream racial epithets?). And then he segued into another yawner on all his
“veteran” buddies who love him so who show up. He said that ACORN is “destroying the fabric of democracy” (by registering poor people to vote?). He repeated the talk radio lie that Obama “launched his campaign” in Bill Ayers’ living room. McCain was petulant (as when he cried again about how Obama forced him to go 100 percent negative because he dissed his phony “town hall” ploy). McCain said that Sarah Palin is a “role model for women” (some role model). He dismissed the equal pay for women case, Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., as if it were totally irrelevant, exposing once again his deep-seated misogyny.

We have just experienced the worst financial crisis in 70 years. The stock
market lost $3 trillion in the last three weeks. Millions of baby boomers close
to retirement have been forced to recalibrate their plans for their “golden
years.” Eight hundred thousand people have lost their jobs in recent months. And
all McCain wants to talk about is Bill Ayers and ACORN?

Press kept under a watchful eye

CLEARWATER — Constantly under the watchful eyes of security, the media
wasn’t permitted to wander around inside Coachman Park to talk to Sarah Palin
supporters. When reporters tried to leave the designated press area and head
toward the bleachers where the crowd was seated, an escort would dart out of
nowhere and confront him or her and say, “Can I help you?'’ and turn the person
around.

When one reporter asked an escort, who would not give her name, why the press
wasn’t allowed to mingle, she said that in the past, negative things had been
written. The campaign wanted to avoid that possibility Monday.

What is the McCain Camp trying to hide?
Perhaps all the negativity has awakened the large Lunatic Fringe inside the republican base and The McCain Campaign does not want the rest of us to see their ignorance.

A youtube member got around the restrictions and was able to capture some of these pathetic souls in all their ignorance. Watch it in full here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjxzmaXAg9E

WHY McCain/Palin Will Not Allow Supporters To Be Interviewed.

McCain’s Better Half, Number One and Two

McCain’s Better Half, Number One and Two

The Long Run
Behind McCain, Outsider in Capital Wanting Back In

Cindy McCain, played a role in the Keating Five S&L scandal, and just as her husband was rehabilitating his reputation, she was caught stealing drugs from her nonprofit organization to feed her addiction to painkillers. She has a fortune that sets the McCain’s apart from most other Americans, a problem in a presidential race that hinges on economic anxieties. She can be imprecise: she has repeatedly called herself an only child, for instance, even though she has two half-siblings. Those close to her say she aspires to be like another blonde, glamorous figure married to an older man: “Diana, the Princess of Wales” .

Carol McCain, (1st Mrs) worked in the Reagan White House as an event planner. She had stood by her husband during his captivity in N. Vietnam, never passing word of her debilitating car accident, (more about her… http://www.snopes.com/politics/mccain/carol.asp ) a few years after their reunion, McCain told her, he was leaving her for a younger, richer woman.

What happens when you Trick or Treat in a Low Information neighborhood,
“Oh, and who are you tall guys suppose to be?”

Submit you own Caption to the above cartoon at:

http://www.pbs.org/now/php/cartoons.php

“““““““““““““

PBS has an online poll posted asking if Sarah Palin is qualified.
Apparently the right wing knew about this in advance and are flooding the voting with YES votes.The poll will be reported on PBS and picked up by mainstream media. It can influence undecided voters in swing states.Please do two things — takes 20 seconds.

1) Click on link and vote yourself.

Here’s the link:
http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html

2) Then send this to every single Obama-Biden voter you know, and urge them to vote and pass it on.

The last thing we need is PBS saying their viewers think Sarah Palin is qualified.

Update: PBS has fixed the webpage and now no one can vote more than once… So the voting stands at:
49% YES and 49% NO!

THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOME CHANGES MADE!
