Anyone else read Robert Chapman's latest?!
Sorry if dupe y'all! Anyways, this is TOO LONG to post it all here, but I'll give ya the highlights:



American's have lost control of their government. They no longer have any voice on how their government operates. Ninety percent of our House and Senate and our executive branch do not have our best interests at heart. FEMA is a backup government for elitists. It was created to control the American public. It is the enemy.

Not only has our President by executive order allowed contractors to pay below prevailing wages in the crisis torn hurricane region, but also they have suspended normal federal contracting rules. Hundreds of millions of dollars in no-bid contracts have already been let out and millions more are to flow to the private sector in the weeks and months to come. Leading the charge are Halliburton, Bechtel and Fluor. The Feds, FEMA are shoveling money out the door and the lobbyists and connected companies will make a fortune. When all is said and done more than $150 billion of taxpayers’ funds will have been spent. The bulk of the contracts will go to elitist connected companies and campaign contributors. They will make fortunes. There is no question in our minds that non-action and obstruction by FEMA was part of a plan to exert complete federal power over operations. We mentioned that last week when FEMA-Bush and the neocons tried to force Louisiana’s Governor to allow FEMA to take over and control all law enforcement. This would set a precedent for violating the Posse Comitatus Act. They also wanted the American public to accept the concept of total federal control as the only answer to disasters or the control of civil unrest.

Mr. Bush expressed his height of arrogance when he said he would personally lead an investigation to see what went wrong in the aftermath of Katrina. We wonder does he fashion himself as Caligula or Nero? John Roberts nomination as Supreme Court Chief Justice tells us the elitists are totally satisfied that Roberts will do exactly as he is told and will grant the Executive Branch unlimited authority over everyone. The approval of Roberts and another replacement for Sandra Day O’Connor will solidify the elitist’s control over the Supreme Court for the next 30 years. Mind you, Roberts is not conservative or right wing. He is an elitist. They have only one master the Illuminati. Each passing day more and more decisions are made to solidify the power of the insiders and that movement is perpetually to the left and into the bosom of fascism. Americans are going to pay dearly for what they have done especially the dumb conservatives and right-wingers who continue to support a fascist dictatorial government. These two Supreme Court appointments are just two more nails in the coffin.

New Orleans is being cut off from America in a world controlled by FEMA and Fatherland Security. We not only have US military acting as law enforcement we have mercenaries as well. The second and fourth amendment rights of our fellow citizens no longer exist. Weapons are being confiscated even though they are legally registered. Those orders are for the collective us; the wealthy are allowed to have private armed guards. This is gun control by force and this is only the beginning. Are you getting the message out there?

Let the good times roll. Bechtel has been chosen in a no-bid contract to provide short-term housing for people displaced by the hurricane. Bush named Bechtel’s CEO to his Export Council and put the former head of Bechtel Energy in charge of Overseas Private Investment Corporation. What the neocons have been doing is stacking senior positions with elitists who are repeatedly cashing in on the public trust in order to further their private commercial interests.

Then we have Joe Allbaugh, Mr. Bush’s former campaign manager and a former head of FEMA, who is a lobbyist for Shaw Group and Bechtel who just landed mega-no bid contracts. Allbaugh is also a lobbyist for Halliburton’s subsidiary Kellogg Brown and Root. As you can see the crooks are busy at work spending our money.

AP-Ipsos Poll, which had George Bush’s approval rating at 84 after 9/11, now shows it to be 39%. Sixty-five percent of Americans believe we are on the wrong track. That is up from 59% just a month ago. Fifty-two percent disapprove of his handling of the hurricane. Ipsos says consumer confidence sank in September to the lowest level since early March 2003 before the start of the Iraq war.

George Bush sits in the eye of a political storm and he could become Katrina’s next casualty. The new Newsweek poll shows only 38% approve of the job he is doing. They showed overall 55% disapprove. Only 28% say they are satisfied at the way things are going in the country, down from 36% in August and 46% in December.

We believe the costly impact of Katrina and their ineptitude, lying and law breaking by the federal government overall and FEMA will cause a loss of faith in government generally, and the President in particular. Already 65% are dissatisfied. What will the numbers be after the federal government spends $200 billion, insured losses are $100 billion and uninsured losses are $200 billion? That is a $500 billion problem plus all the political machinations. Wait until the public finds out all the details of what the Administration and FEMA were up to before and during the disaster. Already 52% say they do not trust the President to make the right decisions during a domestic crisis. Seventy-two percent say his response was poor to fair. Only 20% said he did a good job and five percent said he did an excellent job. Forty-two percent of Americans and 44% of registered voters believe the President cares about people like them. That is down from 50% in the first week of last November.

Reflecting the tarnished view of the Administration, only 38% of registered voters say they would vote for a Republican for Congress if elections were held today, while 50% said they would vote for a Democrat. Fifty-three percent of Democrats said the federal government did a poor job in getting help to people in New Orleans after Katrina. Forty-eight percent of Republicans believe they did a good job. Americans are stuck in a rut via political parties. They will not accept the reality that both parties are controlled by the same group of elitists. We are divided by party and that is just the way elitists want it. At best, we believe George W. Bush is a lame duck president and that is good for us. It will keep further damage to a minimum. Sir Alan Greenspan and other elitists want hedge funds to stay unregulated, which is suicidal. The SEC has brought 51 cases charging hedge fund advisors with defrauding investors of more than $1 billion. There are more than 7,000 hedge funds managing close to $1 trillion in assets, a 300% jump over five years ago.

Connected elitists never go to jail. Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, will pay charity $100 million to resolve a lawsuit charging that he engaged in insider trading in 2001. Martha Stewart was charged with the same thing on a miniscule level and went to jail. Mr. Ellison will, of course, take his tax deduction. Ellison sold $900 million worth of shares ahead of bad earnings, thus he pays 1/9th and pockets the other $800 million, gets the tax deduction and doesn’t admit guilt. Ellison’s wealth is estimated to be $13.7 billion. Never in such a derivative lawsuit has the settlement gone to charity, it should have gone to shareholders.

Kicked!

And I must say - "Trainwreck of the week" is pretty good as a title (even though I'd extend it a LOT longer than just a week).

That's a good nickname for this pResident: "The Trainwreck pResident."
