Winner of the 2012 US Presidential Election Is . . .

UPDATE Nov. 7, 2012: I was right! . . . but wish I was wrong.

UPDATE Dec. 26, 2012: Barack Obama received more than 99 percent of the vote in more than 100 precincts in Ohio on election day. Ohio was a very important swing state in Obama’s election. Third world dictators don’t even get 99% of the vote. See the key Ohio precinct vote counts here. Lucky coincidence for Obama that he was so popular in those Ohio precincts.

—

A bold prediction about the outcome of the upcoming U.S. election:

I know, for sure, who is going to win.

The winner will be the candidate who is in favor of and supports:

• Going to war with Iran
• Continuation of bankster bailouts
• Continuation of the ongoing legal corporate “donations” and lobbying that pays politicians to be total sellouts
• Increasing the size of government–through more debt, regulation, entitlements, military spending, etc.
• Restriction of liberties, erosion of the Bill of Rights, expansion of police powers, and the growth of Federal power over States Rights
• Continued multi-trillion-dollar debt-based spending, putting the United States into a position of never-ending debt, and possibly economic collapse.

Which candidate is this, you ask?

Big Pharma criminality no longer a conspiracy theory–bribery, fraud, price fixing now a matter of public record

GlaxoSmithKline, Roche, Pfizer, and Merck–all involved in outrageous scandals . . .

(Source)  Those of us who have long been describing the pharmaceutical industry as a “criminal racket” over the last few years have been wholly vindicated by recent news. Drug and vaccine manufacturer Merck was caught red-handed by two of its own scientists faking vaccine efficacy data by spiking blood samples with animal antibodies.

GlaxoSmithKline has just been fined a whopping $3 billion for bribing doctors, lying to the FDA, hiding clinical trial data and fraudulent marketing. Pfizer, meanwhile has been sued by the nation’s pharmacy retailers for what is alleged as an “overarching anticompetitive scheme” to keep generic cholesterol drugs off the market and thereby boost its own profits.

Media Disinformation Campaigns–yet another example

The media tells us to not pay attention to Ron Paul.

Why? Supposedly because he’s “not electable”.

Media manipulation?

In February 2012 Mitt Romney held a campaign event at Ford Stadium which didn’t attract enough people to come even close to filling it up (in fact, you could fit Romney’s 1,200 person crowd in the 65,000-seat stadium 54 times over). His campaign scrambled to make the event look as full as possible, but largely failed. Photo via Byron York:

Mitt Romney’s Feb 2012 campaign event at Ford Stadium

In 2000, George W. Bush ran for president saying “I don’t think they ought to be balancing their budget on the backs of the poor.” In 2012, amidst a much worse economy, Romney is running for president saying exactly the opposite. Perhaps that’s why the stadium is empty. (Source: Washington Post)

Meanwhile, a few days later, Ron Paul holds a campaign event:

It seems America’s bankers are tired of all the abuse.

They’ve decided to speak out.

True, they’re doing it from behind the ropeline, in front of friendly crowds at industry conferences and country clubs, meaning they don’t have to look the rest of America in the eye when they call us all imbeciles and complain that they shouldn’t have to apologize for being so successful.

But while they haven’t yet deigned to talk to protesting America face to face, they are willing to scribble out some complaints on notes and send them downstairs on silver trays. Courtesy of a remarkable story by Max Abelson at Bloomberg, we now get to hear some of those choice comments.

Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus, for instance, is not worried about OWS:

“Who gives a crap about some imbecile?” Marcus said. “Are you kidding me?”

Former New York gurbernatorial candidate Tom Golisano, the billionaire owner of the billing firm Paychex, offered his wisdom while his half-his-age tennis champion girlfriend hung on his arm:

“If I hear a politician use the term ‘paying your fair share’ one more time, I’m going to vomit,” said Golisano, who turned 70 last month, celebrating the birthday with girlfriend Monica Seles, the former tennis star who won nine Grand Slam singles titles.

#2 – The fluoride that’s dripped into municipal water supplies is actually a highly toxic industrial chemical byproduct

#5 – The United States government openly trafficks illegal guns into Mexico as a way to cause gun violence in the USA

• A high-ranking CDC official, who played a significant role in the 2009 H1N1 propaganda campaign, has been arrested and charged with two counts of child molestation and one count of bestiality
• As an official in charge of CDC health recommendations for all American children, her actions raise troublesome questions about her level of concern for the health and well-being of children in general
• Other recent stories raising questions about the ethics and integrity of the agency include documentation showing that the CDC has never obtained any input from toxicology experts to assess the health effects of water fluoridation, and the recent fraud indictment of Dr. Thorsen—hired by the CDC to debunk the link between thimerosal in vaccines and autism

An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their perception. Those who will see it will be thought of as insane. We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the connection between us. We will behave as if we are not connected to keep the illusion alive.

Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring suspicion upon ourselves. This will also prevent them from seeing the changes as they occur.

• We will always stand above the relative field of their experience for we know the secrets of the absolute.
• We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks.
• We will keep their lifespan short and their minds weak while pretending to do the opposite.
• We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle ways so they will never see what is happening.
• We will use soft metals, aging accelerators and sedatives in food and water, also in the air.
• They will be blanketed by poisons everywhere they turn.
• The soft metals will cause them to lose their minds.
• We will promise to find a cure from our many fronts, yet we will feed them more poison.

If Elected Will You Arrest The Bankers?–the non-negotiable issue

US congress today is about as powerful as a student council in high school. Remember high school? Changing the student council, or even forming a new student council “party”, never changed anything. The principal makes all the key decisions. The principal runs things.

The unelected evil banker elite have started making our key decisions today. The unelected evil banker elite think they should run things. They are the problem. Unfortunately, US congress has become as impotent as a high school student council. Here’s the bottom line:

Until politicians and media pundits start talking about true economic regime change–shutting down the FED and arresting the evil banker elite, they are irrelevant. Discussing tiny little adjustments at the margin (changing the student council) is a tactic used by the evil banker elite to weaken and slow down the profound changes that are needed. It is just like high school principals who use the student council to dissipate student anger away from themselves by pretending that the student council actually makes a difference–it doesn’t.

Shut down the FED and arrest the evil elite bankers.

The first question we should ask any candidate for President is this: If elected, will you promise to arrest every banker for whom we have probable cause to believe they committed a crime?

If the Answer is Yes, we will listen. But, if the Answer is No, then we ought not to listen as any candidate who does not listen to us is against us and not for us.

This is a non-negotiable issue. If you will not arrest the people who stole tens of trillions of dollars, how will you put an end to Bailouts, Austerity Cuts and Mindless Tax Increases?

I don’t care if you are a member of my political party, my religion, my race, my gender or my veterans group. I don’t care how photogenic your children are. I don’t care about any other issues you run off at the mouth about.

Our Tax Dollars at Work–attacking civilians in Libya

About Libya - Here’s why Obama had to invade Libya (without consulting Congress): Libya has almost no unemployment, the highest GDP in Africa, less than 5% of the population is classified as poor (fewer people living below the poverty datum line than for example in Holland), life expectancy is 75 years (the highest in Africa and 10% above the world average), most Libyan families possess a house and a car. There is free health care and education and a literacy rate of 82%, and worse yet, last year Gadaffi distributed $500 to each man, woman and child (population 6.5 million)–clearly a monster who must be stopped . . .

Ever Wonder Why the Real Estate Market Was Crashed?

Answer: To set up the Oligarch Welfare Program following:

A Huge Housing Bargain — but Not for You

Via: The Street:

The largest transfer of wealth from the public to private sector is about to begin. The federal government will be bulk-selling the massive portfolio of foreclosed homes now owned by HUD, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to private investors — vulture funds.

These homes, which are now the property of the U.S. government, the U.S. taxpayer, U.S. citizens collectively, are going to be sold to private investor conglomerates at extraordinarily large discounts to real value.

You and I will not be allowed to participate. These investors will come from the private-equity and hedge-fund community, Goldman Sachs and its derivatives, as well as foreign sovereign wealth funds that can bring a billion dollars or more to each transaction.

In the process, these investors will instantaneously become the largest improved real estate owners and landlords in the world. The U.S. taxpayer will get pennies on the dollar for these homes and then be allowed to rent them back at market rates. (Source)

Here we finally see the hidden motivation and the real purpose of crashing the real estate market: creating an excuse to force people out of their homes, making it easy for lenders to grab their homes. The lenders then are “bailed-out” by the Federal Reserve, who passes the bill on to the tax payers. Once the lenders are bailed out they no longer want to hold actual properties, so they quickly sell all their repossessed homes to giant hedge funds for pennies on the dollar. The lenders know they have to sell quickly before anyone realizes what they did, before anyone files legal actions. Lol! Once the homes are sold off just try and get them back. Can’t be done. Bwahahahaha !!

Crashing the real estate market was necessary to take homes from ordinary people, so they could then transfer them to the wealthy–who will turn around and rent them back to the very people who lost homes.

Voila! Wealth transfer mission $$ accomplished.  

Ahem, why not just give the discount on the homes to the folks who live in them?

Duh. Don’t ask silly questions.

As always, profit before people.

Meet the New Obama for 2012–”same as the old boss” . . . why do we get the same crap no matter who we vote for?

America’s First Black President Invades Africa

“He has shamelessly become the opposite of what he said he would be. This former defender of the constitution and civil liberties has effectively silenced the anti-war left, legitimized neo-conservatism, and maintained his predecessors security-state policies” – Judge Napolitano

Obama has now unilaterally attacked more countries than Bush, notably bombing inside Pakistan, Yemen and now Libya without Congressional approval. Obama is worse than war-mongering Neocons because he moved the war bar from requiring a real or manufactured threat to justify American military intervention, to vague humanitarian justifications. In other words, if a secular dictator is stamping out a handful of jihadists that threaten his regime, we will now bomb the dictator and support the jihadists when it serves corporate interests. By all counts Obama is serving the same military/oil masters no matter what labels or excuses are given. (Source)

Of Arms and the Man: The “progressive blogosphere” is ablaze with partisan fervor bent toward a single goal: the re-election of Barack Obama in 2012. Because if Obama is not re-elected, we might get a president who … kowtows to Wall Street, tortures Americans, kills innocent people — that is, who actually, literally, physically has children torn into splatters and shreds of viscera and bone — and sells arms to tyrants.

The Scam in Wisconsin–bashing public employees as a smokescreen to hide a fat cat scam to grab State assets

Update 2/27/2011: POLICE:State Capitol of Wisconsin: ‘We have been ordered by the legislature to kick you all out at 4:00 today. But we know what’s right from wrong. We will not be kicking anyone out, in fact, we will be sleeping here with you! (understory.ran.org)

.

Why is Wisconsin Governor Walker leading such a visible attack on Wisconsin’s public employees?

Bashing public employee unions is a smokescreen to hide yet another fat cat scam to grab State assets.

Smokescreen

Right now everyone thinks this is about unions and collective bargaining and the rights of the worker.  BUT, what Wisconsin Governor Walker really wants is for Democrats to just “compromise” and pass his budget law “as is”–a budget law that authorizes selling off of Wisconsin’s state-owned power plants for pennies on the dollar in closed unsolicitated bids for which there will be no oversight.

It’s Enron-style cronyism all over again.

Here’s how the scam is set up:

1) Koch Brothers get their puppet Governor Walker in power
2) Governor Walker gins up a crisis
3) Democrats and Progressives take the bait and counter-protest on collective bargaining
4) Governor Walker will compromise on collective bargaining if the rest of the budget is passed as is
5) Bill passes, with trojan horse give-a-way to the Koch Brothers nested in
6) Koch Brothers will buy Wisconsin state-owned power plants for pennies on the dollar in closed unsolicitated bids for which there will be no oversight
7) Koch Brothers get the best vertical monopoly in a generation (Source)

Koch Brothers

Every point in the above list is carefully documented in Patience John’s article, “The Koch Brothers’ End Game in Wisconsin“.

Here’s the actual language in Governor Walker’s pending budget law. Read it for yourself. It will authorize him to sell off Wisconsin’s state-owned power utilities for pennies on the dollar, in closed unsolicitated bids, for which there will be no oversight:

1. It is NOT required to be disclosed in the annoying “List of Ingredients”, and
2. It undermines legitimacy of and confidence in the “Organic” label.

Neotame is a highly concentrated artificial food sweetener (40 times sweeter than NutraSweet, 8000 times sweeter than sucrose or ordinary “table sugar”). As a food ingredient you’d think it would be listed in the “List of Ingredients”. You’d be wrong. Neotame is NOT  required to be listed.

Food ingredients that are “trace ingredients” (that are a “flavor, or flavor enhancer”) under FDA rules do NOT have to be named individually in the food’s “List of Ingredients.” (Source1: FDA, 21 CFR 101.100(a)(3), and Source2)  Because Neotame is so highly concentrated it takes only an insignificant “trace” to flavor (i.e., sweeten) foods and, thus, does NOT have to be disclosed. QED

Is Neotame safe? You decide:

• Neotame was tested on humans for only 13 weeks by its manufacturer before being approved by the FDA. (Source, pg. 4)
• Codex Alimentarius has “permitted the use of neotame as sweetener in various foods.” (Source)
• Neotame is approved to be added to foods under USDA Certified classification “Contains Organic Ingredients”–without any disclosure to consumers. (Source)

Bankruptcy for Cities and States–a tool to legally grab the public’s assets

Bwahahahaha hahahaha

2011: The Year Cities Go Bust?

Strange Bedfellows: The right, which usually sees the government as the villain, now wants states to have the right to declare bankruptcy and default on their payments to bondholders.  Of course their goal is not the losses to the bondholdrs (who will turn out to mostly be pension funds – the middle class), but to enable “restructuring contracts” and thus force government workers, police, firemen, etc. to accept vastly lower wages and benefits.  But the big prize is letting/forcing states to privatize everything.  Roads, water systems, parks…  Look at it this way, if Grover Norquist is for it, it cannot be good for the great majority of us.
