Love those cables… eh. It’s writ large that the CIA and FBI are up to no good around the world and at home.

These alphabets need to be terminated. Completely out of control and out of place in a democratic society.

These creeps are running the world according to their own paranoid vision and agenda.

The bank accounts and assets of those barred from leaving the country have also been frozen,

The amounts in those bank counts are quite amazing. Obviously being in gummint in Egypt is even more profitable than being in gummint in USA!USA!USA!. Ø the great really has to start asking for far higher payoffs or he will look like a piker.

So it was written, so it shall be done.

Greenwald’s article shows that the money thing that swirls around those in government is as American as apple pie.

But of course those in government who should put a stop to it… are there to get rich by being there. They will not kill the goose that lays the golden egg.

For years I have pushed the very unpopular notion of term limits… and the more popular one of campaign finance reform.

People are so inherently corrupt that you need to put in place all sorts of measures which make this less possible and prosecute the SOBs which is never done to the elite and connected.

We’re worse than Eqypt because our people can’t see what this “system” is producing and how it really works and that THEY are getting the royal screwing by the people they elect to serve THEM.

Of course ‘merca already has term limits, 2 years for the House, 6 years for the Senate and 4 years for the Pres. None of those count any more however as the corporation owns the bloody lot of them and there are no term limits on the corporations. We do need to control the size and influence of corporations but I fear it is way too late for that over here.

As for finance reform I believe that only in state monies should be used for elections and only monies from corporations with headquarters in those states. Any corps with headquarters in the Caymans would be shit out of luck. For that we do not need federal laws only state laws.

Corporate Sodomy, extracting life from you and me, in that lust for profitably while minimizing accountability. Like alcoholism, “Corporate Sodomy,” knows no restrictions as corporate aristocrats “”usurp law”" with money to protect status quo interests. One need look no further than the issue of slavery. Slavery or servitude of the Egyptian people to corporate interests is no different from the servitude we Americans enjoy, at life’s expense. The connection between Scott vs Sanford and Citizens United, is glaring. From Taney to Roberts, advantages under the color of law given to slave owners, or corporations under deceitful disingenuous logic. Illogic like people of color are inferior and therefore not entitled to constitutional protections and are property of the master. Or, money spent by “out of state corporation” to usurp the due process rights of a state’s citizenry, is protected free speach? How sad that America’s politicians and SJC permit essentially political/economic terrorism perpetrated by corporations to exist. The same way slaves where raped for their uncompensated energy, or Egyptians are denied democracy, as America compromises basic values, in a head on collision with oil addiction?

BTW! No appearance of impropriety, Justice Thomas? The ghost of Dred Scott, pukes as history repeats. Made all that much disgusting to realize that Justice C. Thomas, had he been born in a prior era, would be considered property?

Good morning, pups. It’s Brooks, Friedman and Herbert today. Bobo has seen fit to address “The Splendor of Cities,” and babbles that Rahm Emanuel’s run for mayor of Chicago showcases the strengths specific to city governance and urban politics. The Moustache of Wisdom, who has finally made it to Tahrir Square, sends us “Speakers’ Corner on the Nile,” and gurgles that in 40 years of writing about the Middle East, there has never been anything like what is happening in Tahrir Square. Mr. Herbert addresses “A Terrible Divide,” and says with too many condemned to shrunken standards of living, the U.S. needs new ideas on a grand scale.

Here they are.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got toasted Thomas’ English muffins with lots of butter and your favorite jam. For me? Seedless blackberry jam. I overslept by half an hour, so I’m outta here to get stuff done. Have a great day! [poof]

Justice C. Thomas, had he been born in a prior era, would be considered property?

He is still indeed property.

Not to be outdone, NBC tried to play the WMD fear of Egypt card.

It’s possible there is no much loot in them that the government is afraid that the rats bailing out will provoke a foreign exchange crisis.
