Re: Everything Is Rigged: The Biggest Price-Fixing Scandal Ever

jimmythet — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 01:58:19 -0000

want to stop these bloodsuckers?

demand that the US goverment immediately seize the offshore banking networks wholesale. All of them, everywhere. This is doable for a varity of reasons, drug-money laundering, financing of international terrorism, massive financial fraud. After that, demand that secret banking be no longer allowed, forever, everywhere.

it is a first step, but I believe it is the necessary first step that everything else depends on

Check out Occupy Portland Radio's (kboo.fm/occupyportland) series on money and the ICIJ's investigation into offshore banking. If you are living in the US, you probably haven't heard about this issue, but everywhere else in the world is going nuts!

Seize the moeny!

there are no bigger issues at stake! The other issues are all created as a result of the gutting corruption that is running rampant worldwide. This is the tiniest tip of the iceberg. All over the world politicians are being outed as being corrupt. This secret banking network is only the first to be revealed of the many that force austerity, police violence,and wars down the throats of the people.. The political elites will be the ones to decide how much more blood they will have on their hands. The entire system is coming down around their ears. Time to see if they are smart enough to let it go and hope that the people of the world forgive them, after ensuring that they are no longer capable of this disgusting behavior

ok, nawaf, I;ll give you that the subway system may bring out some of our worst sides, and those observations, in my opinion, do point out some truths about Americans (FYI, I am American), but to imply that the last hundred years of no muslim country destroying and conquering lately is taking a very short view of behavior (are you REALLY trying to make us believe that since you are a Muslim, you are somehow more peaceful than others, really?), and is ignoring the actions of many Muslim countries in the last century. While these countries may not be invading others, they are certainly not behaving peacefully all the time. Indonesia- largest Muslim country in the world, in East Timor: India, huge muslim population, in Sri Lanka; Iraq and Iran, are these also not Muslim countries, and their wars with each other.
don't get me wrong, I am sympathetic to your side, in equal measure that I am sympathetic to "my" side of the equation (Muslim v. West), but when you start romanticizing Muslim love for peace, I am afraid that few are going to listen to anything else you want to say.

ahh, my friend, that is a good question. I propose that it has something to do with the fact that the Israeli people have yet to rise up against their government and be teargassed in response. If that were to happen, anything would be possible. what you say?

Re: Live blog 30/1 - Egypt protests

jimmythet — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 21:22:47 -0000

ahh, my friend, the other thing is that the Israelis have yet to rise in mass protest against their government and have their government start to tear gas them. Once that were to happen, anything would be possible. do you agree?

so many assholes thinking that one biker represents them all, and thus, no biker can be responsible, or beyond their understanding, or trying to be a decent person and do the right thing, which means, to many people, NOT driving a car, even though their lives are threatened daily by dumbasses who think that they are somehow superior because they support BP, Shell, and the king of Saudi Arabia. As an added bonus, they're such little bitches that they've probably never ridden a bike among auto traffic, so they don't really know what they are talking about.

your car is the problem

it's your responsibility to protect your life as much as it is mine (because, even though I am operating one of the most deadly, irresponsible, costly, and downright stupid forms of transportation, I am bigger than you and therefor I win !!! (life is good!))

ya know,
it is really sad that you don't care that you are being lied to. You find it much more interesting, because it is fun, to live in a world where, as long as the lies serve your "interests" you have no problem with them. As long as the lies keep the gas flowing freely, and the cheap food available 24 hours a day, and the TV turned on, you don't care.
that is just really disappointing.
you can't handle the truth, so you just don't want to hear it.
shameful
i am not commenting on anonymous or their tactics, I am commenting on the delight taken in making fun of people who actually try to do something (as opposed to sitting back and watching Dancing with the Stars) when they aren't happy about the most serious issues. I don't really care too much about what is in the diplomatic cables. Nor do I care too much about anonymous and their activities. What I do care about is the underlying issue- whether or not I am being asked to believe a bunch of bull that is causing people to suffer in my name.

doesn't the fact that we are still spreading huge amounts of pain and death upon people who absolutely did not deserve it bother you?

that's what this is really all about, whether or not we are proud of how we spend our time and where we focus our energy. There are children without parents as a direct result of the abuse of your national power. that should make you sick to your stomach, shouldn't it?

when you simply dismiss people who are, at the very least, interested in holding their governments accountable, in the only way they see possible, you appear to be craven and spiteful. Just saying.

wow,
that really hurts. I wonder how much longer I could keep you typing away at your computer, foregoing the more important things in your life...oh, nevermind.

-ps, is that incoherent enough for you?

Re: Anonymous Operation of the Day: Operation Frozen Vengeance

jimmythet — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 20:19:10 -0000

oohh, Fekket,

your withering response is making me feel powerless...please stop!

actually, thanks for reading and commenting. Sorry if it was incomprehensible to you, I'll keep it at an easier level for you, next time.

-ps, your deep insight into fun is telling. Kind of like the way that your fear of information, and fear of interest in information, makes you seem more coherent. Go back to your fantasies, dear, the adults will handle this.

haha!
let's make fun of people who are risking their careers, freedom, maybe even their lives in exposing the lies that we are given as truth!
yeah!
cause fun is more fun than having balls!

well, I see that the internets do not fail to disappoint when it comes to finding grossly ill-informed opinions.
First off, Chavez is not the president of Bolivia.
Second, the natives of much of South America chew the leaf regularly to obtain the very dilute amount of stimulant that is naturally in the leaf. This is not a big deal at all as it actually makes it HARDER for people to abuse coca. Try to extract concentrated caffeine from a bottle of Coke some time and you'll know what I mean.
Third, anyone who is putting a dent in Coke (or should I can the humor?) is doing alright by me.
Peace out chumps!

it is absolutely NOT offensive, except possibly to some racists who might offended by the idea of a klan member actually getting in the water with a dark skinned man. Look at the context, look at the meta-message. A Klan member and a dark skinned man are hot tubbing together. Maybe there is a chance for peace in this world! Please stop being patently offended and ask yourself what you are actually looking at. Ignorant is as ignorant does. Power (and common sense) to the people!

Re: Eric Holder, Ted Stevens, and Prosecutorial Misconduct that Doesn’t Make Headlines

jimmythet — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 19:34:51 -0000

OK, so let's sort this out:
Ted Stevens, older than dirt and quite possibly (anyone?) planning on leaving the senate anyway (one can only do so much damage before it starts to catch up with you), is faced with the fact that he is about to get justice for his past behavior. With the trend in the "Justice" Department over the past few years, is it irrational to think that, maybe, just maybe, prosecutors were instructed to behave badly enough that the following results?
a) Ted Stevens is eventually "cleared" of wrongdoing
b) Ted Stevens is left with the right to claim that he was the longest serving Senator
c) Ted Stevens is left with a Senate pension. What is a Senate pension worth after so many years
d) the federal government is left with egg on its face; egg that is broadly smeared enough that it is easy to ignore differentiation between the current 'feds' and the previous 'feds'
This is conspiratorial, I know, but guess what? The following were conspiracies as well:
Pearl Harbor
The Iran-Contra Affair
the assassination of Kennedy (presumably)
the Holocaust
the "Troubles"
and the list goes on and on
We have seen examples of federal prosecutorial misconduct over the past eight years that rivals that of any administration, ever. We have seen examples of political careers cut short by scandal. We have seen that the manipulation of the public is a subtle game.
Why should we believe that this is anything different? Manipulation of public opinion is the current political fad. Not convincing argument, not sound reasoning, not good-faith public debate. No, I am talking about crass manipulation.
Ted Stevens is ultimately redeemed. The federal government is ultimately shamed. Who benefits from this situation?
We are being played, here. It is time we started to take a meta-politics approach on these issues. Without such a stance, we are going to continue to fall victim to this again and again.
Gods help us!
