Man, they shouldn't hold any classes that require computers to work. I tend to read the news

Hey, so is BP!

Wow, maybe the banks should use oil instead of dollars. They'd never run out of money.

I don't really know what that means.

The Endless Cycle of Bullshit That Works: ACORN, Voter Fraud, and The Myth of Democracy

So this started out a long time ago. I was going to talk about ACORN, which I'm sure most of you have heard about by now, but I got lost reading every time I tried. For those who don't know, ACORN is a community organizing group. "ACORN's priorities have included: better housing and wages for the poor, more community development investment from banks and governments, and better public schools. ACORN pursues these goals through demonstration, negotiation, legislation, and voter participation." Among many other things, they also do voter registration drives for the Democratic party and are setting records in new registrations for this election. The issue from the Republican perspective is best explained in this article. Basically:
-The group's voter-registration fraud is rampant, and authorities plan a nationwide sweep of ACORN offices to collect records.
-There have been 218,749 newly registered Democrats in North Carolina since January — more than five times the 38,337 new Republicans, state records show.
-Obama paid ACORN, which has endorsed him for president, $800,000 to register new voters, payments his campaign failed to accurately report.
-Obama worked as executive director of ACORN's voter-registration arm, Project Vote, in 1992.

The answer to these accusations were explained simply in a press release from ACORN. I can't just point a few things out because it is all relevant. This completely debunks the concept that they are committing voter fraud at all, if not just the fact that they are required by law to turn in every registration form they receive. Colbert calls it fantasy land.



This is nothing new, what else can we expect from the Republican Party? Today an an article appeared that was somewhat disturbing. G.W. has decided to pursue the issue in Ohio and ordered the Department of Justice to investigate. This article also outlines the problem with electronic voting machines. As we already know, Diebold is quite the suspicious bearer of electronic voting machine contracts in Ohio (if you have never seen this, give it a look).





Voters are being suppressed in the increased screening involved with these investigations. This article in the New York Times explains how.

"Some states allow such [challenged] voters to cast provisional ballots. But they are often not counted because they require added verification.

States have been trying to follow the Help America Vote Act of 2002 and remove the names of voters who should no longer be listed; but for every voter added to the rolls in the past two months in some states, election officials have removed two, a review of the records shows.

Under federal law, election officials are supposed to use the Social Security database to check a registration application only as a last resort, if no record of the applicant is found on state databases, like those for driver’s licenses or identification cards.

The requirement exists because using the federal database is less reliable than the state lists, and is more likely to incorrectly flag applications as invalid. Many state officials seem to be using the Social Security lists first."

So how can we possibly think that we live in a democratic system when the election is determined by who is better at stealing it? This is no democracy. We live in an aristocracy. There are even more examples of the election being stolen below. What we have here in a nutshell is a community organization under attack by the Republican Party for following the law, while the Republicans heighten the issue by launching investigations that disenfranchises more voters than it catches. Though there is no evidence that this type of voter fraud occurs, as shown by the argument against the Indiana voter I.D. law, the Republican echo chamber maintains this as an issue. They are removing tons of new voters who have minor inconsistancies on their registration. On top of that, they are challenging the people whose homes have been foreclosed as shown in an entry below. They also do this to scare people in to voting for them by focusing on ACORN's loose affiliation with Barack Obama (same thing as the Bill Ayers deal, which speaking of, check out what Palin said).

How do you win an election? Just remove the difference from the competition.

I think you can see me standing by the u-haul. I don't know it's kind of dark.

Welcome, new members

Glad to see you all made it.
I figure that to use this information sharing tool the most effectively, we could start off by each throwing out things that we're interested in. This way we'll know what to keep an eye out for so that we can all use each other to grow.

For instance, I am particularly interested in/angry about the existence of the world's centralized banking systems that act as unnecessary middle men between the resources of the earth and the people, the global corporatocracy that has a stranglehold on world government through which it controls and limits product/technology/societal growth, and the many varied institutions that contribute to the dumbing down of the population of our country (and others) to the extent that people no longer know anything about the problems that we face, let alone do anything real (voting is not real) about it.

Otherwise, just throw up whatever you want, there's no real format or specific topics that we stick to, which I'm sure you'll find out by checking out the past stuff. Also, check out the links on the right side, and of course the Pandatron

I feel awesome about this, fellas, let's keep up the energy.

Investment Tips

So I noticed this article today about the rise in gun sales in the last year. Sales have risen 8-10% at a time when people are spending less on everything else. The Washington Post cites the reason as Obama's threat to gun ownership and his proposed block of certain types of firearms, but I remember an article that I can't find that said gun sales went up 50% in Austin, Texas mainly because people are afraid that the wrong person is going to win the Presidency. It's crazy how militant some people are becoming over this election. I was in Asheville last night dressed as a zombie protesting Sarah Palin, and as the people were filing out of her speech, they were yelling at us way more than we were yelling at them. Honestly I didn't know it was a protest until I got there, and I have never been yelled at, called a faggot, and flicked off so much in my life.

*note*
Apparently the Washington Post makes you sign up to look at their articles now... I can't stand it. Also I've been working on a long entry that keeps getting deleted... Blogger is killing me lately.

ah!

I can't even put my feet back on the floor after seeing this!
Something funny, all thieves deserve to be shat on

Sorry, maybe I'll add some more stuff if I feel motivated...

God Fucking Dammit!

I absolutely hate these pieces of shit
WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING, and all we do (can do) is sit here and type about it on the internet?
I don't even know what else to say.

Free energy with magnetic polarity?

I wish I could fully understand all of this, but I've just found a new thing to obsess over. Gotta get a physics book or two.
The idea is to use asymmetric magnets to harness free energy.
Just read the article. It's long, but it's awesome, and it's a must read!
Interesting (not really) that the DoE is suppressing this tech.
We've had industry and government burying important technology for a long time, mass transport (rail), electric car, etc.
Also, that link for the physics book takes you to a free and easy to understand physics book in PDF format. I've liked what I've read so far, which, in the months I've known about it, has sadly been not much.

After talking about free energy, this next one might seem less valuable, but check out this potential for near 100% efficient photovoltaic panels!!! Researchers at Ohio State University have accidentally found a way to collect much more of the sun's energy with advanced material selection and combinations. Another one that I'm afraid will be swept away before people here about it or much goes into its development. I wish I was a physicist/engineer, looks like school's not out forever after all...

Republican admission of plan to deny voting rights to those foreclosed upon

"We will have a list of foreclosed homes and will make sure people aren't voting from those addresses."

- James Carabelli, who declined to comment to CNN
This move would affect mostly African American voters, which are at the same time the most likely to have received sub prime loans and to vote for Democratic candidate Barack Obama.

The Republicans sure know how to run a shady election.
How are we supposed to claim democracy when our elections are rigged?

Fundamentals of Non Violent Protest Part I

Campaign Preparation:

Step 1: Self-Education and Grouping
- RESEARCH/study groups, workshops, conferences

Step 2: Where to focus efforts?
- Find weak points in opponent's armor
- Point out the nonsense, use science, statistics, news, scandals, lies, etc not to simply make them look "bad," but WRONG, as they are.

Step 3: Set short range goals
- Long range goals are obvious and easily set, but short range goals are often not so easy.
- Must be:
-Achievable
-Measurable
-Have timetable
-Significant to long range goals!

Step by Step actions from least drastic to outright revolutionary
- Investigation
- Negotiation
- Public forum
- Picketing/leafletting
- Demonstration/rally/march
- Limited strike
- Boycott
- Limited noncooperation
- Massive illegal action
- General strike
- Establish parallel gov't

This is just some base-level stuff to think about, more to come. School work has to happen, even if it doesn't seem to come first...
Be well, and be aware

Martial Law Threats Part of Bailout Push

Check out Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) talking about how our decision makers that ended up passing the bail out bill were threatened with martial law if the bill didn't go through...
Another article about it

Also, Patrick just told me about and I looked up a page for this:
FEDERAL RESERVE PROTEST IN CHARLOTTE, NC!!!!
NOVEMBER 22, 2008 SATURDAY 8 a.m. (thanks for edit dude)
FEDERAL RESERVE BUILDING
530 Trade St.
Charlotte, NC 28202

Y'all mawfuckaz know I'm gonna be there.
There are conflicting messages about the possible date, but this meetup.com page says the info I posted above, so I'm going with that for now. Will edit if necessary.
I'll make a post on nonviolent protest fundamentals later, I've been looking into it some.


** Update: by filabusta **
It is definitely going to be on the 22nd.
“On the night of November 22, 1910, a group of newspaper reporters stood disconsolately in the railway station at Hoboken, New Jersey. They had just watched a delegation of the nation’s leading financiers leave the station on a secret mission. It would be years before they discovered what that mission was, and even then they would not understand that the history of the United States underwent a drastic change after that night in Hoboken.”
From Secrets of the Federal Reserve, by Eustace Mullins.

I saw this on Pandatron

Woa


Um, sorry

Are we about to see the shit hit the fan?

“If the American People ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency ... the corporations that will grow up around them will deprive them of their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” — Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President."

“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world - no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”
-President Woodrow Wilson

Why is this happening? I think we all know.
I'll post again when I can.

Just My Kind of Thing

Holy shit dude... I can't wait for the PS4. I wonder what sort of games they could make with something like that.

I just wish they would talk about the Fucking issues....

Back on our feet

So I've been wanting to write in this for a while now, but for some reason every time I never actually end up posting what I write. So it goes without saying that this blog has been lacking lately, but I would like to try to start again. Matt and I agree that we really liked it when this was in full swing, so lets try to get it back that way. Just a quick post from the computer lab for me today.

The guys who made Zeitgeist have come out with a second installment called "Zeitgeist: Addendum". Check it out if you have two hours of free time. Even if you disagree with the movie, it still makes you think. And if you haven't seen the first one it is definitely worth your time.

Another documentary I watched recently that I've been telling absolutely every body about is called "The Revolution Will Not be Televised". These two Irish film makers went to Venezuela to make a film about Hugo Chavez, and while they are there, there is a coup on the Chavez government organized by the CIA. The film makers capture everything and it is crazy. Just check it out, you won't regret it.
