This reminds of the long time street code ‘don’t snitch’ or you’ll fucking pay. The main difference of course, is that snitching on the government, or government contractors, is costly on much larger scales. After all, the mighty U.S. government is capable of throwing a very large, very powerful, and very destructive arsenal at you. Our current government seems to despise those who try and put a stop to fraud and corruption when it comes to anything these days, but most especially the Iraq arena.

Several people have stepped forward with concerns, all of them legitimate, about contractor fraud and corruption, illegal weapons sales, and even contaminated water sources. None of those people have received anything but utter contempt, complete disregard for their personal lives. At that is the best case scenario. Some of these people have been imprisoned by our own military and subjected to interrogation methods normally reserved for ‘terrorists and enemy combatants’. Seems the Whistleblower Protection Act is not protecting.

Donald Vance is perhaps the most sickening case when it comes to stomping on those who dare to speak out against corruption. He went to the FBI with evidence of illegal arms sales; guns, land mines, rocket launchers and so forth, being sold for cash by an Iraqi company. The weapons were being sold to anyone and everyone, including U.S. military and government personnel. For his trouble he was imprisoned in an American military security compound near Baghdad for 97 days. During that time he was interrogated by our people and was classified as a ‘security detainee’. All because he decided it maybe wasn’t a good idea to allow any company to sell arms for cash to anyone with the money.

Perhaps more disturbing news is the advice of William Weaver, professor of political science at the University of Texas-El Paso, and the senior advisor to the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition.

“Reconstruction is so rife with corruption. Sometimes people ask me, `Should I do this?’ And my answer is no. If they’re married, they’ll lose their family. They will lose their jobs. They will lose everything.”

Now I understand that for most people losing everything in their life is a hard thing to grasp. To suddenly find yourself imprisoned, fired or demoted, shunned by your long time colleagues and abandoned by your family isn’t an easy thing to even think about. And that is where much of problem lies. The men and women who have thus far made that decision have been ostracized if not openly vilified and demonized. And our current government is allowing it to happen. As are people like William Weaver. The people who can most affect the treatment of whistleblowers are not doing a damn thing to protect them, to shield them from the now inevitable backlash from the government and from corporate powers.

When the people who see the crime being committed find themselves believing that there is nothing to be done to stop said crime, the battle is lost. Corporations have the financial clout and political power to bury those who speak against them. The Whistleblower Protection Act is not serving the purpose it was set up to serve. The normal process for fingering a corrupt politician, contractor, et cetera, is broken. Abraham Lincoln first set up these policies to fight the very same type of corruption during the Civil War, and they have endured well enough through the years. Now however, that system is damaged so badly as to be barely functioning at all.

Well then, seems I have run out of steam on this topic. What else is there to say about it? I could go on for awhile yet and let you know of several other whistleblowers who’ve stepped forward and screamed at the government, and then detail the harsh treatment they received. I could inform you all of the finer points of Whistleblower Protection. I could at the very least inform you all of my high level of contempt and absolute hatred concerning corporate and governmental greed, and the lengths both will go to in order to protect their profits. But none of that will do any good.

What will do some good is placing your vote anywhere in the Democratic Party this November. I cannot say what will happen if a Democrat takes the White House, but I can tell you that it will far better than a Republican taking the White House. McCain himself is guilty of contracting corruption if you ask me, and he is the Republican nominee for President, just in case any of you have forgotten. Tough, ironclad oversight is required for all government contracts. Independent oversight is mandatory for the protection of whistleblowers. Neither are in effect today, and both are problems that are contributing to the fall of my country.

Link and out.

And I mean FUCKING catastrophic! One of those events that shakes your world to the very core, something that irreversibly alters your life for as long as you live. A dire and desperate situation which calls for a clear message of destruction and revenge, an unequivocal call to arms. Yeah, one of those fucking catastophies.

The coffee pot died.

The goddamn coffee pot died.

The fucking coffee pot died.

I mean the goddamn coffee pot! What kind of senseless bullshit is that? Bunch of freedom hating Islamofascistfrenchterroristical extremist bastards fucking murdered my coffee pot! And I know it was murdered, because a coffee pot just doesn’t up and fucking die. That isn’t the way of the world, people, and trust me…I know the clandestine ways of coffee pots seeing as how I live in the Northwest.

So yeah, people, terrorism has struck deep within the heart of America. The pulse of this great nation has been weakened as of this morning, weakened and reddened by the ruthless and heartless actions of some self-centered coffee hating asshole. Senseless really.

But never fear!

We here in the Northwest plan for such disastrous fucking events. We have a failsafe. Several of them, actually, and all of them work (unlike some other entities in this country), but we don’t actually expect to use them. We rely on two fucking things in this state, our own coffee pot, and the fucking coffee shop two blocks from our home. In other words, we don’t appreciate having to pull out that small, dusty (and possible molding, depending on whether or not you left an old filter in it) and nearly forgotten coffee pot out to use. We don’t fucking like having to do that. Remember that for future fucking reference. And we especially don’t like having to remember how to use the goddamn percolator. Yeah, you might want to write that down.

So I will venture out into a suddenly bleak and lifeless fucking planet, suddenly devoid of hope and all bright things, in order that I might find and return with the most holy of fucking holies, a new, shining coffee pot. A new one to continue the legacy of brave and virtuous service in the name of freedom…fear not beloved Krups, you shall not have died in vain.

And one more thing. Don’t let me find the sadistic fuckstick who crept silently through the night to wreak havoc on my cherished coffee pot…you are a dead man.

Out.

You’ll have to excuse the bad form of Shakespeare there…I couldn’t resist. Then I again I really didn’t try to either. Anyway…the fucking point here is that it seems the world is sliding back in time, not moving forward as all evident, outward signs would have you believe. And you know who is to blame…SATAN!!!

Umm…

Right, the latest stupid-hat-wearing jack ass in charge in the Roman Catholic Church wants to pin the blame on Satan. Blame for fucking everything, or at least is seems that way. You’re not gonna believe what this unimaginable fuckstick has announced to the world now…I love this guy. He makes George look like a well-rounded, semi-intelligent person. And I must say, that is a fucking task! Bravo Benedick…I love it when a plan comes together.

The latest ‘holy fucking Christ’ news to come out of the Vatican is that the Pope wants to create, damn I love this…I can’t stop laughing, makes it a bit difficult to type, the Pope wants to create ‘exorcist squads’ to combat the rising threat of the Satan.

And pause for more laughter…

Are you fucking serious?! Give me a fucking break you ball busting imbecile! You stubborn, German shithead! Moving on…

Yeah, the Pope wants an ‘army of exorcists’ so that every bishop across the devil besieged planet will have an exorcist at his beck and fucking call, when ever the call to arms is heard. Give me a break. Is this fucking guy for real?

Oh yeah…I almost forgot. Can you guess whose signature is to be found in the Harry Potter books? That is correct…SATAN!!! I had no idea that the most feared and reviled creature in Christian mythology was a female writer from England. Come on Benedick, I would have thought you could do better than that; fucking everyone knows that America is the Great Satan. Get your fucking facts straight. Ass.

Alright, I’m gonna go now…still laughing at this one, and feeling an incredible urge to go find an old priest and a young priest…

I am a big proponent of free speech and the right to peaceably organize and protest and all the crap from the 1ST Amendment. I like to believe that under normal circumstances I would never find myself wanting to disallow an individual to exercise their rights as granted by the U.S. Constitution. But this morning I find myself wanting to do precisely that and a little more.

Having not read or watched the news for the past two days I was more than a little shocked to find out the latest pile of steaming, cry-baby, tree hugger horseshit rising to an ugly in head in Berkley. Code Pink, that organization for women to gather and protest and maybe make a difference has earned that animosity of hundreds of thousands or people as of 1 Feb 2008. Their demonstration against the Armed Forces of the United States is absolutely inexcusable. It wasn’t ethical or right in Vietnam to protest and abuse the men and women of our military and it isn’t fucking right to try the same asshole tactics now in this war.

Marching along the streets of Berkley the fucktards in Code Pink proudly displayed signs with slogans like “We Support The Murder of American Troops”. Nice, real fucking nice. You lack even the conviction of character to back your words with action. If you really did support such an abject and deplorable ideal than you wouldn’t be marching in the streets of a U.S. city; you’d be out and about in the rest of the world actively trying to ‘murder’ our troops. You gutless fucking pricks, congratulations, you’ve just elevated yourself well above the stated enemies of our nation.

But you tiresome, pathetic, mewling little milquetoast fucks weren’t done with your demonstration, were you? No, you had to go on with other, offensive, slap-in-the-face signs and slogans. Things like ‘No free speech for military personnel’, and calling the U.S. Marine Corps ‘Uninvited, unwelcome intruders’. I can’t possibly convey the deep sense of rage and acerbic furor I feel upon having read some these things. I hope you all die. Yeah, I said it, and I won’t recant, and I won’t be feeling even the slightest bit of remorse should any of you meet an untimely and grisly end. Pricks.

Now that I’ve got that out of the way, why don’t we discuss things like the origins of your ‘rights’ and who installed them in the first fucking place? Let me think for just a moment…could it have been the Founding Fathers? Forward thinking individuals who decided that certain rights were inalienable to all people? Could those fine intellectuals institute those rights here in this nation via diplomacy? No, they could not, they did try though, and failing that, a war happened. And it was the first semblance of a military here in America that fought and died for your rights, so that 232 years later you could spit in their faces. By the way, just so you know, the Marines are older than this country, with the first two battalions of Continental Marines created on 10 November 1775 as is the U.S. Army, founded on 12 June 1775. So congratulations to all you worthless cunts in Code Pink, you’ve just insulted irrevocably the men and women who FUCKING BUILT THIS NATION WITH THEIR LIVES!!!

One final thing before I depart. I wonder, would all of you who declare such anger at the uniformed services, would you be of the same mind should a natural disaster hit your precious, peace loving Berkley when the National Guard showed up for rescue operations. Would you confirm your vicious, reprehensible beliefs then? Would you turn down food and water, clothing and shelter simply because it comes from a military source? Would you continue your atrocious campaign should some sort of enemy attack occur in your Berkley? Who then would you be crying and praying for? Who then would you slander and dishonor with your shamefully defamatory protest? You sorry, worthless, spiteful curs!

If you want a target for your anger at this war then by all means find and aim at a target. But ensure that you’ve sighted the correct fucking target. The military of our nation is NOT responsible for this war. Military members have no say in whether or not this nation goes to war, they have no say in where a recruiting station is set up (as this seems to be such a point of contention for you Pink cunts), the military just does what it is told. The target you are looking for is the White House, the House and the Senate. The target you are looking for are the elected officials of this nation. So next time you take to the streets I seriously suggest you put a little thought into your campaign. Assholes.

Out.

P.S.

I almost forgot, they had this little stunt to pull as well…

Pricks.

A new flavor of misery that is, for the residents of St. Charles, Missouri.

City officicunts are trying to pass a bill that will ban swearing in bars, so as to keep the ‘rowdy crowds’ under control. Man, I’m learning all kinds of new shit today; liberals are in charge of the internet and all software used on the internet, and swearing makes you rowdy in a bar. I guess if you swear in the middle of church you’re not considered rowdy. I wonder though, if you swore while taking Communion at the 10:00 mass if general rowdiness would be incited? Might bear some considerable thought.

At any rate, the only sane response to come out of St. Charles is from one Marc Rousseau, a bar owner. His basic opinion is that the city has no need to stick their conservative, one-foot-in-the-fucking-grave asses into the private affairs of adults in a privately owned establishment. Good for you Rousseau…even though your name reeks of general Frenchiness.

Link (Faux news unfortunately) and out.

The most recent and perhaps the most gruesome crazed Texan is killing and eating his girlfriend. Yeah, sounds good to me.

Christopher Lee McCuin tracked down his ex-wife, stabber her current boyfriend then took the woman back to where ever the hell he was living. Where he proceeded to kill her and then to cook her. Odd thing is, he actually called the cops and told them what was going on. Like I said, fucking crazed Texans.

Remind me to never set foot again in that dusty fucking hellhole.

Politics here in America of late dwell on the impending elections of 2008. The final countdown to the leading Democrat and Republican candidates draws nearer by the day. Very soon now Americans will finally be freed of Huckabee’s Baptist faith, or Romney’s Mormon faith. We will be freed of the Clinton-Obama-Edwards battle for who is more experienced and so on and so forth.

In short, American politics are revolving around the elections, then the spineless Democratic Congress, the ineptitude of the Boy King, and the war in Iraq. All fairly important matters to millions of Americans, as well as millions across the globe.

Japanese politics on the other hand, has something entirely new to gift the world. Serious, thoroughly thought discussions on the existence of UFO’s is the political hammer that is clobbering Japan.

They have even said that should Godzilla show up and start rampaging across the land, the Japanese army will be sent out to deal with the beast.

So, that is your Sunday morning funny. Here is your link and I am out.

Wow.

Good fucking thing it is repeal day here in the good ole’ US of A.  Not much else to say about this one.  Wow.

 Check it out for yourself.

At least her family is trying to ensure that her ghost will never, ever, find peace. Sorry, pathetic, whimpering fucking fools. This time they are bitching about how she is referred to these days, they do not like the term ‘brain dead’. Ahhh…you still have not managed to move on and live your lives for what they should be and not what they once were. How sad.

People, especially Schiavo’s family, here is the word from the Pickled Jester, and as usual, I suspect some people will find offense here, and that is kind of the point because most people don’t learn without being affronted. The word, as I was saying before I interrupted myself, is that SHE IS FUCKING DEAD!!! Move on! Get over it! Reconcile the fucking loss and live your goddamn lives! She is dead people, D-E-A-fucking-D DEAD!

And for the record, no she was not technically brain dead prior to the plug being pulled, but she was fucking close enough! Semantics will not kill the fucking pain you imbeciles, so get over it and stop letting public opinion of the matter rule your lives and dishonor her memory. Pricks. By the way, though, did I mention she is dead? You know, not fucking alive anymore…no pulse, no breathing, and no functioning fucking organs…that kind of dead. This means, technically, she is fucking brain dead! Like all dead people.

Grow up, get over it and live your lives. Stupid, apathetic, whining, useless fucking right wing assholes.

Out.

And having fun as only a cat can do, by ripping something to pieces with both claw and tooth. In this case they are busy butchering a wing from a duck, and though I am posting this several hours after they started the killing, they are still busy with their new toy. Enjoy the video.
