Finding it very interesting how, after posting the link in my last post, how there seems to be a clandestine censoring of available info. Could just be me, but it seems to be happening more and more as I post to different blogs in response. Not just on this subject but certain current topics. I take measure to not verbally or rhetorically indite anyone but simply ask questions of and about the subject where it just doesn’t feel correct. Seems increasingly noticeable that things are being “Big Brothered” and freedom of speech is on the decline. I have heard this more and more from others as well, so I don’t feel that it’s just me. I can’t say that it has happened here with TD, to their credit. Has anyone had the same feeling in their blogging?

“CaptRon” already knows, of course, as do most of us here, that the “masters” have no use for puppets without any strings-attached.

ALL TOGETHER….NOW!!!!

HokaHey!

CaptRon: Thanks for the info. Didn’t realize he had that much baggage, or should we say gaggage. Sort of makes Ken Starr look like a beginner. Carl Rove may have taken lessons from Issa from what you posted.

Isn’t it just like Reukelicans to try to bring someone else down when in truth, their crimes reek of far more serious and larger than that of those they seek to destroy.

Darrell Issa, chairman of the oversight committee initiating investigations of the Obama administration for corruption. What a laugh except it’s not funny. He seems to be one of the most corrupt politicians in Washington. His past reeks of fraud, grand theft, arson, Enron involvement, lies and deception, Countrywide loan scandal, unethical corporate money support and government fraud, Valerie Plame-Gray Davis-Blackwater-Duke Cunningham defamation and support, predatory lending support, misrepresentation of military record claiming presidential honor guard and length of service time when was actually demoted for misconduct and alleged stolen car(again for the fourth time), etc.
I must say that this is unchecked record by myself but is substantiated by sources listed in the link from the Daily Kos article linked below. What scares me more about him is that he falls into the type of politician which was placed by higher political and corporate powers to be used as needed, similar to the Bush Dynasty. All speculation of course, but this has been all around him most of his adult life and at least casts suspicion on a man trying to investigate corruption of the POTUS and his administration. He was against Ground Zero rescue worker support calling the 9/11 attack just a New York plane crash. He dresses nice and carries a beyond reproach demeanor like many good crooks. All I say here is that he should be looked at closer before we allow him to investigate others. I’m watching Mr.Issa, come clean on your own record before you try to destroy others. All my information I read from this linked article which was taken from many other reliable sources, at least to me. Others can read and decide for themself. I want to hear your side from you. History will follow you and be your judge. Until then, I suggest you back off on your own accusations.

They don’t have the money? Then stop all these dammed wars, they always have more money for destroying lives now don’t they?

Asking the very people/businesses you should be monitoring, to make the rules so they can get away with more crimes,because that is what they are, should show the idiots who voted the repugs in, exactly whose side they are on and it isn’t the side of the American people.Sure, they will do the right thing.

Money talks and the majority of regular people will never have enough to turn the heads,let alone the minds of the corrupt congress critters. Doing what is right just has no place in this arrangement the politicians and the mega corps have. It will only get worse. When it comes to greed over doing what is right for the majority of the people, greed wins out most of the time.

After the last animal destroyed, all the trees are cut down and all the waters polluted, only then will you realize you cannot eat money.
Old Indian saying.

Not that it’s necessary.. but I agree with most everything Ms. Goodman has said in this piece.. I hope she continues to contribute…

Now, about this food safety and other possibly well-intended government regulations.. What we have now is ‘regulatory capture’.. the industries we want regulated and overseen are in control of the agencies tasked with their oversight..

We want food safety or no lead in our kid’s toys? .. what we get is a sort of loose, minimum standard. Business interests do whatever the heck they want.. people sicken or die? No recourse.. their practices meet federal standards! by golly by gum.. yet people continue to sicken and die.. and there’s no room to sue!

Federal regulatory practice has been almost completely co-opted by industry. It shields them from real safety and quality standards.. No real consumer protections or guarantees of product safety will be enacted under the current system.

That’s what I think about that.

Another reprehensible Repug, narcissistic and totally compromised by self-serving propaganda.

This is nothing more than an attempt to divert attention away from the facts. Unfortunately, there’s a large portion of the public willing to accept it’s the governments fault for <whatever story they’ll believe>. This is just like that Pecora-like committee made up of both Democrats and Republicans. The GOPer’s published their own facts that exonerated banks and placed the entire blame at the foot of the government when facts said otherwise. They only get away with this charade because people are more willing to accept their judgment rather than make up their own minds. And those who do make up their minds do so with the tainted facts they’ve been given. I think the US needs to be taken down a notch and the GOPer’s with tea-bagger support are the ones who can do it.

Correction
So many canards and so little time-
Regulation limits growth and therefore job creation - Bull!
The reason the economy caved is precisely because of unregulated Wall Street casino speculation in the money market until the money was worthless.
When people can’t afford to pay their mortgages or other investment loans and the banks won’t give credit - how is deregulation supposed to create jobs - what blatant rationalization for capitalist exploitation.
The red herring that the economic plunder was due to government spending/regulation is all the Reps have to hold on to. Unfortunately people are buying it hook line and sinker.

Regulation marks the clearest divider between
Progressives and Conservatives: Ps want to protect
citizens from capitalist abuses; Cs want to protect
the capitalists’ right to abuse.

Many serious Tea Party enthusiasts support Cs because
they can’t believe that conservatives would ever want
to leave them vulnerable to fraud, poisoning or
accidents. Remember when Ronald Reagan, as governor
of California, appointed a manufacturers’ lobbyist to
run the state’s Consumers Association? Her
assignment, of course, was not to answer the phone.

Somehow this reminds of a line a read in a New Yorker
review of a novel about Albania under Communism. A
militant communist is denounced on some false charge
and faces a firing squad. His last words were, “Long
live communism!”

Probably what’s preventing Rep. Issa from “step(ping) away from the corporations” is the same thing keeping Ms. Goodman her-“self” from actually doing it, too (truth-be-told), along with virtually every captive “individual” in the “civilized” virtual world-o’-hurt.  The corps have ‘em all by the short-hairs, one way and another.

So getting FREE means having to go through the by-now immense pain and sacrifice involved in losing a lot of both hair and hide (not to mention some blood and bone).  Of course the same loss, and much more, is happening, anyhow, as people are pushed ruthlessly out of the shrinking false-eCONomy, with considerably more seriously damaging results than merely the trivial blow to their make-believe “self”-esteem.  Still, most all of those remaining firmly (if more-and-more agonizingly) in the iron-fisted corporate death-grip (those who still have a “job”) are terrified of trying to make the break voluntarily.

What might make it, if not any easier then at-least not so lonely?  Try going….

ALL TOGETHER….NOW!!!!

HokaHey!

Step Away from Representation without Taxation:

Here’s an idea for everyone to consider:  Use the old Revolutionary colonists’ slogan, “taxation without representation” but in reverse:
“Representation without taxation” which points up the situation regarding corporate exemptions, deceits, overseas accounts, laundering etc. which amounts to a huge amount of “representation” in government with little or no “taxation.”
  SLOGAN for movement might unite many millions of right, left and center citizens, voicing a common complaint and demand: “Representation without taxation is tyranny.” (the reverse of James Otis famous revolutionary statement)
  Modern answer to the English claim that colonists were virtually represented even though they had no members in Parliament:  “Virtual” is a cover for tyranny.” Lord Camden:  “Who denies it throws down the distinction between liberty and slavery.”
  Recently used by UK John Major in connection with US not paying taxes into United Nations:  “It is not sustainable for States to enjoy representation without taxation.”
  This is an all-too-brief and amateur attempt to present an idea that might be very practicable as a movement for common goals:—to get corporate influence on government under control and to redirect the U.S. Government, based on patriotic Revolutionary principles solidly ingrained in US political history.
(All feedback welcome.)

Sometimes that’s true..when the legislation is not written by lobbyists…

But more often lately thats just whats happened, in which case, regulation can also allow the plutocrats, to discourage competition, force onerous requirements on small business, and generally write regulations that protect the corporations from liabilities, that the corporations incur because they make dangerous products. Or get half their budget from the companies they are supposed to regulate…

The Dumbocrats have had a hand in all of this, so there is no use trying to blame the Rethuglicans…both are guilty as charged.

Maybe the Republican Party can be named in future food poisoning lawsuits. I’m not a lawyer but it seems to me that refusing to fund a law on ideological grounds sets them up for that. You can’t sue the government without its permission but the GOP isn’t the government. Yet.
