Politicalgates: The Citigroup Plutonomy Memos: Two bombshell docum...

Politicalgates: The Citigroup Plutonomy Memos:

'The Citigroup Plutonomy Memos': Two bombshell documents that Citigroup's lawyers try to suppress, describing in detail the rule of the first 1%


‎"Citigroup seems to be perfectly happy with the rule of the rich. They are also perfectly happy to suppress these explosive memos. What if Americans don't believe into the American Dream any more? What if the thoughts of OWS-protesters slip into the mainstream? (Fortunately, this is already happening). The rule of the 1% is not a conspiracy theory, it's a fact, as the Citigroup analysts explain in great detail. The citizens in the 'Plutonomies' are expected to swallow this bitter pill. The Koch Brothers and others can buy politicians and make sure that they get their way, also thanks to the Koch-friend Clarence Thomas and his colleagues in the Supreme Court who made the 'Citizens United' decision possible.

But don't forget:

You 'have equal voting power with the rich.'
"


from Citigroup memo:

"What could go wrong (with our control of the financial and political systems)?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth."



They are hoping we remain in a poverty mentality... they are hoping we play into the false belief that people can OWN or BUY value. Don't forget the inherent value you have as a human being. Do not forget our rights and dreams to live in a world where we can all enjoy health, happiness, and peace.

Where the Sidewalk Bends



























"... in the blood of man there is a tide, an old sea-current rather, that is somehow akin to the twilight, which brings him rumors of beauty from however far away, as driftwood is found at sea from islands not yet discovered: and this spring-tide of current that visits the blood of man comes from the fabulous quarter of his lineage, from the legendary, the old; it takes him out to the woodlands, out to the hills; he listens to ancient song."

I Can't Believe It's Not Reality


"The Man burns in just 32 days, folks. Can you feel it yet? OK, try
this: the Golden Spike, the point from which all of Black Rock City is
surveyed and laid out, gets pounded into the playa floor this
Thursday. Now can you feel it? Yeah you can." (from a BM Headquarters email update)

Plea from Senator for Impeachment

Senator Michael Gravel writes to all American people yesterday as he states,

"As a Candidate for President, and most importantly as an American, I firmly believe that our most important and highest priority, both as individual American citizens and as a whole Nation, is to protect, defend, and nourish the foundation of American Democracy: the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. Every other issue is of secondary importance."

"If We The People do not take action to demand accountability in the form of Impeachment, we become passive accomplices to the silent overthrow of American Democracy.

It is now time for the People to become leaders. We must teach our elected representatives to act in accordance with their oath of office and effect immediate impeachment of those who have committed these crimes against the Constitution.

If we do not act now we are all personally endorsing, sanctioning, and indeed celebrating, the end of the Bill of Rights, Habeas Corpus and all other fundamental civil liberties and democratic values. Such values have been the foundation of American Democracy for over 200 years.
"

"We The People are indeed waking up – we have learned not to rely on the old top-down corporate media dinosaurs to tell us what they have decided is “the news.” Fortunately, We The People have an amazing network of online alternative information sources. These rapidly evolving reality-based, user-driven, independent media sites have made us our own news editors. "

So check out the full letter and see what you can do.

Political Benders

So I felt it was time to try again and see how my feelings and thoughts have shifted since I last took the 'Pick Your Candidate' simple quiz to get me a simplified and general idea of my political aim as far as choosing a candidate. It appears as though I have loosened my views and am more ambiguously aligned with the candidates in general. I am not surprised that my score with Ron Paul has risen dramatically...

These are my results as of today (as compared to July 22, 2007):

Kucinich 46
(you have no disagreements with this candidate)

Gravel 37
(you have no disagreements with this candidate)

Obama 25
Patriot Act, Border Fence, Iran Sanctions, Same-Sex Marriage

Clinton 20
Death Penalty, Patriot Act, Border Fence, Iran Sanctions, Iran - Military Action, Same-Sex Marriage

Biden 20
Death Penalty, Patriot Act, Border Fence, Iran Sanctions, Same-Sex Marriage

Edwards 19
Death Penalty, Patriot Act, Iran Sanctions, Iran - Military Action, Same-Sex Marriage

Dodd 18
Death Penalty, Patriot Act, Border Fence, Iran Sanctions, Iran - Military Action

Paul 16 (currently of great interest to me... although we apparently don't match up perfectly, I am totally in favor of his intention to remove the Income Tax and Federal Reserve system and to reform the drug policies, which are big issues for me that this poll does not take into consideration.)
Abortion Rights, ANWR Drilling, Kyoto, Assault Weapons Ban, Citizenship Path for Illegals, Border Fence, Net Neutrality, Minimum Wage Increase, Same-Sex Marriage, Universal Healthcare

Richardson 13
Death Penalty, Assault Weapons Ban, Patriot Act, Iran Sanctions, Iran - Military Action, Same-Sex Marriage

Brownback -13
Thompson -16
Cox -20
Huckabee -23
McCain -24
Giuliani -30
Tancredo -38
Romney -40
Hunter -41
