People on our side of
the fence call AM 1150 as “Hatriot Radio” and it’s no wonder. Last night I watched a thing where Glen Beck
was telling Christians to immediately leave any Christian church where the
priest of pastor preached social justice.
We know that’s what President Obama did in 2008 as a prerequisite to
running for President. You know what
they say. Imotation is the sincerest
form of flattery. Glen Beck should be
flattered. But in general there is a
hatred of “the unwashed masses of humanity”.
One quote I heart on that station went “If you stay in the middle class
all your life then you’re a loser”.
This Eric Erickson guy this morning said that anybody who works at
minimum wage when they are forty is a loser in life, and he has absolutely no
respect for them. This host did a
monolog for most of the half hour between ten thirty and eleven but did take
one call- -from Riverside. The caller
said he respects anybody who works at a full time job. But the host cut him off when he began his
next sentence and talked the rest of the hour himself, and had the gall to
accuse the caller of “filibustering”. We
are to believe these strikers are just lazy bums who can’t EARN a raise and so
have to bum others for it. But later he
said “Well getting a raise isn’t so great anyhow because you’ll just be in a
higher tax bracket”. And went on to say
the whole day of protest thing was just a conspiracy of labor unions- - and
Obama health care was dragged into it one way or the other. We are to believe that bosses give raises to
reliable workers. And yet Mc Donald’s
has a policy of “rapid worker turnover” and to fire people before they develop
seniority- - and get any fancy ideas about advancement. New workers are more plyable and can be taken
advantage of much more easily. But far
from being lazy - - today’s workers have the highest productivity of any
workers. And it used to be that wages
kept up with productivity. But the host
doesn’t care about this. And if we
believe Mike Papentonio’s words recently - - any host- - pretty much has to be
screened by the rich oligarks. These
people don’t get these jobs because they are talented, but because they are
good at taking their marching orders.
You see this in the appointment of not only judges and attorney
generals- - but getting congressmen to rubber stamp the bills that are already
pre written by the lobbyists and the oligarks.
Wake up and smell the coffee!
Norman Goldman
yesterday was talking about how the United States is the policeman of the
world. The Federation issued a rather
similar statement earlier in the day, in case you are curious. The United States even has troops in Estonia,
Norm says. Maybe it made sense for us to
have troops in Germany 55 years ago when Elvis was there. But this is another century now and the idea
of having troops in Germany for nearly seventy years now seems pointless. But we bombed Somolia because they attacked
Kenya. And we use drones to take out
terrorists in Yemen, and I don’t mean – to dinner. It’s been pointed out the saying of Stalin of
“one death is a tragedy; a hundred thousand is a sististic”. So we see ISIS behead two reporters in the
most blatant of ways. But if we bomb a
hundred thousand in Iraq this is just fine with the right. Spock of Star Trek fame would call the comparison
“highly illogical”. Because the
implication is that the United States by its very nature is horrified by the
death of ANY innocent person, and we know as we have conducted our foreign
policy over the decades this has never been the case. The United States, so I hear, wanted to
reconstruct Russia after the 1991 fall of communism along the Chicago school of
supply economics. Before the people were
oppressed by their government but got free education and health care, or so we’re
told. Now they are STILL oppressed by an
even more corrupt government in Russia but economically they are far worse off,
and I’d hate to think our government had something to do with making them worse
off. But is Mike Papentoniio is right in
saying that Ronald Reagan was just a puppet president of the “right wing
oligarks” or whatever. In other words is
the right wing is now and perhaps always has been like “the insurgent Telliban
government in the United States”, which is how the tea party by their own words
seems themselves in dealing with Obama. So
really “The regeme” as Rush uses that term - - could be applied to these rich
oligarks who have always seen themselves not as “the loyal opposition” but a
shadow government. By this same logic-
stop me if I’m wrong- - then Israel
could, by logical extension, be considered just a shell country. We have two choices. Either a religion of 17 million people in the
world can defeat a religion of 1. 2 Billion with a B people and they really
have got this god they can call on at any time to perform military miracle
after military miracle, or else indeed it’s as the right wing says they out to
be as a 51st state of the United States, kind of a stalking horse to
gain terrirory in the Mideast. Sean
Hannity states that the destinies of the United States and Israel are
inexorably linked. So to what extent is
Israel’s foreign policy really OUR foreign policy? Like other “strong men” such as Putin and
Qadafi, Netenyahoo has been there a long time - - going on twenty years. The prospect of his ever being voted out in
an election is nill. I’ve received
conflicting evidence about the number of deaths in Ukraine. One source said it was just two thousand for
both sides since April. Another source
stated that 800,000 people have been displaced in eastern Ukraine. Many of them have gone to Russia and some
haven’t gone as far. Now we hear once
more that they are about to reach an agreement.
My gut tells me that Putin is the aggressor and controlling the agenda
for all of this, and the problem won’t end one minute before Putin wants it to
end. Of course in Gaza you’d just have
to call that a slaughter. I don’t
remember the number but I believe it was approaching two thousand deaths in a
matter of weeks- - majoring on women and children. Maybe it’s off the front pages of the
newspapers now, “out of sight; out of mind” but not for the people in Gaza who
lost family members or have their communities destroyed. Is Sean’s message to the Islamics “convert or
die” like the Duck Dynesty guy said on a reacent television show? Today Sean took the opportunity to reaffirm
this message.
Evidence appears to mount that this Ukraine situation
is not the way the media portrays it. I
was watching Free Speech TV last night- - and watched both pro and anti Russian
videos. Hartman is among the “non
believers” so to speak, and there was a new installment of George Washington’s
blog I read yesterday. On Monday I
watched a speech given by John Roberts on the Magna Carta. They had a thing on Ambassador Joe Wilson and
the yellow cake uranium from Nigeria, and some rather extensive details about
that. Last night I was looking for
something and I’m not sure what. It kind
of turned into the Gallery of nut jobs.
There was a Sean Hannity show with Phil Robertson of Duck Dynesty fame,
giving his expert analysis of why Islam is so evil, and he spent much of that
time reading from the Bible often pausing to flip through pages for the right
scripture. There was a thing with Mike
Papentonio doing his analysis of Glen Beck and he says “Glen Beck was invented”
by the ultra rich as a spokesman stooge, kind of like Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan is loved by the right wing not
for what he accomplished, or the lack of it, as President, but because the rich
got him to run for California governor in the first place, instituting
coservatism as we know it today in 1966.
Perhaps Mike got a little wrapped up in his own rhetoric - - . But then I watched a thing on Pat Robertson
and saying that Robin Williams took his own life because he believed in a false
god of wealth and fame. I had to marvel
at the sheer hypocracy of Robertson’s words since that’s ALL the right wing
worships are money and power. And he ads
“You have your problems because you don’t have God. Turn to God now and he won’t disappoint you”. I went out and smoked a cigarette after this
in the dark. Then Bill had turned it to
“Law and Order” at some point. I wasn’t
paying attention to the KABC game shows. I got coffee from Glen’s room during
the ABC “World News Tonight”.
There are certain
personality types that are prime candidates for “patsies” or “saps” or whatever
you call them. They are almost willing
pawns usefully employed by the other side.
They’re people like President Obama who’s word means nothing, and the
more insistent they are that they be believed, the more you need to just ignore
them. Take Daniel Jonas on Days of our
lives. He was so indignent and offended
at Jennifer for intervening in the Nicole situation with Eric a month or so
ago. Rather than saying “Thank you” to
Jennifer- - instead he obsesses over what she did- -and deep down knows she was
absolutely right and neither Daniel nor Nicole could be trusted to “Do the
right thing” and inform Eric about the new evidence in his favor. If we had waited for Nicole to come clean
we’d be waiting till Hell froze over.
Jennifer knew this. But now we
have Dr Daniel verses Christine Di Mira.
I knew that despite the fact that for all appearances Christine had been
“captured” and was “surrounded by her enemies” and had “no way of escaping” and
would soon be “brought to justice in the strongest possible terms” I knew that
Christine was going to outsmart them all.
I didn’t yet no how, only THAT it was going to happen, because that’s
the way soap operas work. So now you
have Marlena who says she hates Christine and will give her “No Quarter" or
whatever. Now Christine has Marlena
doing her dirty work for her. It’s so
funny when Marlena says “Eric, I hate myself for what I’m about to ask of you -
- “ but she doesn’t hate herself Not to do it.
Christine’s whole thing is hurting Marlena and this scam with the
mystery drug that’s supposed to help John Black, is just another way of hurting
Marlena and Eric all over again. And
excuse me for not caring if someone lives or dies but let’s look at this John
Black situation. John has been pretty
non compus mentus for a long time- -like the last three years ever since his
return to the series. He has betrayed
Marlena over and over again and wanted to betray Eric by having an affair with
Christine. He came close to raping her
in that hotel room and he was going to do it ‘Just to prove a point”. Brady says he can’t stand to look at John
because he is reminded of old wounds.
And now suddenly this guy is worth selling your soul for? With today’s episode we have an added reason
for Eric not to withhold his testimony.
Because we would believe that Eric is asked to keep his reasons for
testifying against Christine secret from Brady and did not share with Eric that
he was thinking of NOT testifying. What
other conclusion could Brady Black come to than that “Maybe Eric is not an
innocent victim of Christine and he thought about it and really enjoyed having
sex with her on candid camera, and therefore since he experienced so much
pleasure- - has had a change of heart and now believes Christine should be off
the hook. We just said- - Dr Jonas
pounded to the table to remind us of his great resolve and this time Christine
Di Mira was going down. She had no
escape. There was no way out. And now she’s going to skate as all of the
many charges- - at least eight or so really serious ones- - are all going to be
dropped. But- that’s just the way soap
operas work. The only question is not
the end result but the specifics of getting there.
In the Bob Mc Donald case
there were 67 witnesses. Virginia
Governor Mc Donald was on the stand for 24 solid hours and cross examined for
eight of those, spread over several days, of course. Former Virginia Governor Bob Mc Donald was
found guilty, and the jury seemed petty eager to do it, convicting him on
eleven charges. Frankly I’m happy to see
him get it because he’s one of those tea party republicans, and people will
think of Perry. Norman Goldman is the
first jock to even bring it up. It
certainly wasn’t going to happen on EIB radio.
There is a game changer
in one red state. Kansas may be turning
blue for November because there has been so much looting and corruption by the
Republican senator that he was already in trouble, but now the democrat has
decided to pull out of the previously three way race, which confused
issues. It’s as significant as Ross
Perot pulling out of the Presidential rate in 1992 during the Clinton
coronation. It’s like that Jeffers guy
in Vermont who won in 2000 but then chose to caucus with the Democrats thus
giving the Demos control of the US Senate.
So maybe there is a God- - and we have a couple of good news stories for
today.
Joan Rivers died today of her medically induced
coma, which I was always dubious about.
In fact my Federation friends were telling me days ago that Rivers’ soul
had already left her body. I would just
add though that people needn’t be dead to have an astral “out of body experience”
or contact with space aliens. Both she and Robin Williams "have much better cosmic credentials than most Hollywood celebreties. But of
course lest I be declared a complete dingbat I wasn’t going to report it before
it was confirmed. But I’ve always wondered
about these “medically induced comas” particularly in patient’s who’s grip on
life is tenuous to begin with. There is
some really botched medical procedure we need to look into at Mt Sinai. But a month or two ago when Eve Donavin was
talking about having surgery on her vocal cords the first thing to enter my
mind was “I bet there is going to be some horrible complication from this
surgery, otherwise, so I reasoned, they would never have brought the subject up.
Tonight the NFL
football season begins, but you’d never know it from all the doom and
gloom. This for me has been the worst
summer since 2009 and 2009 was questionably the worst summer since I’ve been
here. I plan to back off of all the doom
and gloom commentary on the government and the Tea Party because mentally
health wise it’s not good for me to dwell on it. This is after eight and we had hashed browns
as Louise predicted. We had Cheerios
with scrambled eggs and toast and butter and jelly and hashed browns I put salt
on.
