Trotsky as St George (Victor Deni, 1920)

Trotsky as St George (Victor Deni, 1920)

So I kept the title under 140 characters for twitter but I think the point is clear no?

Governor Christie is being evaluated for future leadership of the American Empire based on how good he is at managing PR difficulties when busted doing what is little more than business as usual among the corporate gangs that run this country. Great criteria to lead a troop of scam artists and be shill-in-chief of the kleptocracy… oh yeah… that IS the job after all.

Meanwhile, the pretend-recovery is so ridiculous that even the corporate-media economist-clerics find it difficult to keep up the charade of how deep in shit the global political-economy is, swaths of the world disintegrate in an accelerated rate with the “help” of our beloved business-leaders and their politician henchmen, and the most “alarmist” environmental predictions turn out to be overly optimistic.

Luntz’s populism has turned on itself and become its opposite: fear and loathing of the masses. “I am grateful that Occupy Wall Street turned out to be a bunch of crazy, disgusting, rude, horrible people, because they were onto something,” he says. “Limbaugh made fun of me when I said that Occupy Wall Street scares me. Because he didn’t hear what I hear. He doesn’t see what I see.” The people are angry. They want more, not because we have not given them enough but because we have given them too much.

I had the misfortune of listening to NPR coverage of Iranian politics and US foreign policy and there was no context,  just self-congratulatory well-meaning BS about what a shame that the two countries are having a hard time trusting each other… Fuck that. At least the imperialistic white-supremacists on Fox outright lie and spew honest hate. NPR actually has the opportunity to elevate the discourse from the completely moronic but they don’t because they’re pussies. Sorry. That was disrespectful to vaginas >:/

Jesse Hagopian, a leader of Garfield High’s historic test boycott, given rare opportunity to challenge corporate education reform policies at the Gate’s funded Education Nation, a testament to the growing national opposition to high stakes testing.

Whatever you think of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where does one even start to decode this insane get together of criminals and those who love them?!? The sheer irony of inviting a world-class butcher like Kagame and drawing happy parallels between him and Israel!?
I guess because they both massacre their neighbors with Western support and encouragement? WTF?!
I just sent this to my dad who lived through Nazism and was one of the first to attack Elie Wiesel for his shameless exploitation of the Holocaust back in Israel in the 70s.
As a young kid growing up in Israel I asked myself what the world was doing when the Nazis were gassing my family. Now I know.
The Nazis may have made soap from most of my family in the 40s, but the mofos in this clip are washing their bloody hands with it today! Profoundly disgusting >:/
