ILWU – IVAW – PMR and Yoo
Remember when everyone respected union jobs, health insurance and child/human labor laws?
That was before cable teevee and the pornfull internets came to be. Today you will find the underemployed and overly Patriot Acted rubes of the Homeland, commenting on various news outlets about the evils of unions, the “liberal” president and those terrorist interlopers who just happen to be not white.
As I like to sometimes say…Thank God for Dick Cheney’s shriveled sac of freedom that is the Border Patrol! 
(It has no real context…but it’s fun for me…)
Like our really expensive wars on Islam, anti-war activists, real food and Mexicans…most Spokesman Review commenters (see above link) love Cheney’s shriveled sac of freedom, but hate good wages, benefits and any word that ends with the letter z.
Before I was interrupted by the babbling idiot rubes of the Homeland who comment on the Spokesman Review’s AP copied articles…I’d like to point out that yes, the Longshoreman have gone and tried to stop a train filled with union-free grain in Longview, Washington.
Go right here for more.
Those longshoreman remind me just a bit…of my friends in the IVAW and the Olympia Port Militarization Resistance. Not that the ILWU is really interested in ending Obama’s Bush wars on the world and labor…but in the fact that newspaper commenters now hate unions as much as my anti-war friends.
That’s real progressive progress!
The difference however…is that if my friends in Oly PMR, or IVAW, or even the Stop the Checkpoints group in Port Angeles, were to overrun a government facility or port, hold security guards hostage and damage rail road cars…I think we’d be reading about a bunch of dead anti-war activists.
For more on the overrun Port of Longview and security guards being held hostage…go here.
The truth however…will not be found in any newspaper article. The truth will be found in the idiot rubes of the Homeland, who feel compelled to remind us that 10 bucks an hour is fabulous…and health care, weekends and an 8 hour work day are for sissy Communist-Marxist-Democrats who look like Obama. 
For even more on this story, think John Yoo. Then ponder how a decades worth of war on less than a hundred – mud hut dwelling religious fanatics, may have cost you and your public school.
Think about Karl Rove and Dick Cheney’s shriveled sac’s of freedom. Ponder how the policies of Bush are now the policies of Obama, yet one is somehow worse than the other.
I’ll ponder why the ILWU abandoned their stance on shutting down every port in the Homeland, over these BushBama wars…when they decided to MoveOn.org.
Damaged Are the Gatekeepers
Leonard Peltier has just won the Mario Benedetti Foundation
international human rights prize.
Pepsi makes hundreds of millions of dollars from the killing of
brown-skinned children in Yemen.
Dell Computers and BP make more money from war than Jane Fonda — While Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman don’t care what you think about Jane Fonda.
Leonard Peltier flew no planes on 9/11.
Operation Geronimo killed Bush’s bin Laden.
Damaged are the Gatekeepers.
Endless
Endless are the profits for war. Endless are the prophets for war.
Peace has never been endless.
Hunger? Relentless. Endless.
Funding for war. Relentless. Endless. 
The hunt for benefit-free employment. Relentless.
The war on unions. Relentless.
Endless.
Kim Kardashian.
A Hilton. A Cyrus. Relentless.
Talentless the virus.
Poverty. Hunger. Tooth hurts. Learning nothing.
Learning relentless.
Craving the virus.
Dick Cheney. A Bush. Obama.
Talentless the virus.
Endless the Relentless.

“In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely.”
—Hunter S. Thompson
Hunter’s words were true then, and they’re well past being true now.
The swine have won, fake patriot.
NAFTA was Clinton’s blow job for the corporate run state. Half-impeached for Monica.
Your guns remained.
Your brains were drained.
The swine – fake patriot, have won.
Did you know there’s a man who was a women…dancing on your teevee?
Of course you do. Fake patriot. 
During Reagan’s union busting realm…my corporate owned radio would have played my favorite corporate owned songs. The words ‘shit’, ‘fuck’ and even ‘hell’ could be heard in those songs, during that time that was…the Reagan union busting realm.
You can’t hear those words today – in the same corporate sponsored – Homeland owned songs.
Tipper Gore won and freedom is supposed to be free.
When the Border Patrol starts arresting ATF Agents for having armed the Mexican Drug Warlords, you’ll know that Homeland Security is concerned about securing the Homeland.
When the Border Patrol stops stalking not-white people at farmers markets in Port Angeles, you’ll then know…that Representative Norm Dicks has stopped working for The GEO Group.
When the Border Patrol starts hunting for illegal not-white people in downtown Spokane, Seattle and Bellingham…you’ll know that Homeland Security is exactly what it seems.
When pondering the Border Patrol – If the words corrupt, lying appendage of the fake Homeland machine don’t come to mind…you’ll probably then never know, that the war on education “was, is and are also is are won”.
It’s a holiday weekend. If gas prices have suddenly gone up in your sector of the Constitution Free Zone of the Homeland…re-read the above digital words.
Fake patriots. Of the fake fakeness that is the Homeland.
Vodpod videos no longer available.Trillions of Tortured Ironies
Life is still pretty good here in the Homeland. We can eat or drink ourselves to death, and no SWAT Team will kick down your door for having grown fat and useless.
This phenomenon explains almost as much about us…almost as much as it confuses us.
WikiLeaks are at least as terroristy as the 48 al Qaeda-ban guys we haven’t been able to kill. In ten years. In about seven different nations. With 100’s of thousands of troops and a few trillion dollars.
The Homeland will demonize the leaks about war crimes, torture and the cover ups…And how! the media does play along.
The media and the Homeland will not however, demonize the actual proof of war crimes, torture and cover ups that these leaks contain…but will instead make you read about it here.
Which reminds me, a million dead Iraqi’s by our hand, is better than by Saddam’s hand. I know this because Obama looks forward.
Keeping most of our Homeland made oil for ourselves – as well as selling it to ourselves at a reasonably cheap – Costco like price, does not make ExxonMobile or Congress happy.
Clean air does not create enough dirty air jobs, nor does it make the clean coal industry or Congress happy. This is why Obama will not push for cleaner air standards…because he’s as liberal as Condoleezza was a crying girl in Cheney’s office. 
I think we can extrapolate from the above words, that no matter which side of the field your find yourself playing on…nothing matters more than how well you are able to spell “moran”.
Extrapolation occurs because our clean energy comes in the form of coal and or nuclear power. One will certainly kill us sooner, while the other can keep on killing us for like 200,013 years.
Yes…we sometimes attempt to clean up earth killing places like Hanford, but it always costs less than fighting our wars. So we can’t afford it.
$12 Billion may seem like a bunch of money to clean up an already ‘perfectly safe place’ like Hanford…but when your local media “reports” that it will cost only $12 Million with an M and not 12 Billion with a B…I’m left wondering what exactly I’m supposed to be afraid of and or mad at?
Which I think is the point.
See above digital words for more.
You know, things aren’t really all that bad. We can still eat and drink ourselves to death…and no politician will ever pay for its crimes. Unless there’s an iPhone, Twitter and a married penis involved.
I guess we’re not always that successful at understanding irony, hypocrisy or torture. But we are however, pretty Goddamn successful at giving tens of trillions of dollars to a handful of billionaires.
So there’s that.
Nothing
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing, unless you’re a failed bank or Wall Street firm, then you get something.
BP can ruin the environment until Bachmann’s God kills us all. Unless Bachmann’s God is BP? Then I suppose we’re halfway there.
The Boston Red Sox flew on Philip Morse’s CIA torture jets, because Philip has issues with mommy.
Former CIA lawyers are as full of crime free acts, as Obama is interested in prosecuting them.
Nothing is at least something and doormats abound.

I’d be no better than Matt Lauer or Emily Miller if I did not report to you…that yet another severed foot in a shoe – has washed ashore on one of the Salish Sea’s many beaches.
Go here for more on the foot.
If I were more like Matt Lauer, I suppose I too would sit across from the pathetic old war criminal, and ask pertinent questions about Cheney’s incontinent inconsistencies.
If I were more like Emily Miller, I’d be sailing the Salish Sea to Alaska with Grover Norquist and Donald Rumsfeld.
Upon my arrival to the great confused state, I’d not only not ask Palin why she’s quit again, I’m certain that I’d also ignore the appearance of yet another severed foot…and not tie it in with the convenient fact that Rumsfeld, Norquist and the ‘floating boat of footless CPAC miscreants‘, had indeed just sailed by said found and severed foot.
Fortunately for us, I’m a bit more like Willard Scott’s 4th retarded cousin removed — in that I do love me some jelly, I tolerate old people birthdays and I sometimes recall old videos that I saw on my UHF equipped b/w teevee…from somewhere in the neighborhood of
about 1983.
