GOP = “WHEN DOES THE GREED STOP?” + “WHAT IS THE PRICE YOU WANT FROM WORKING MEN AND WOMEN? HOW MANY $BILLIONS MORE ARE YOU ASKING FOR THE PRIVATE SECTOR?

SENATOR TED KENNEDY QUOTE IN 2007 ON GOP AND THE MINIMUM WAGE:

“We still cannot get a $2.15 (increase) over two years! Over two years.” — from $5.15 to $7.25.

“What is the price we ask the other (GOP) side that you want from these working men and women? What cost? How much more do we have to give to the private sector and to business. How many billion dollars more are you asking, are you requiring? When does the greed stop, we ask the other (GOP) side?”

“What is it about working men and women that you find so offensive?”

When Does the (GOP) Greed Stop?

— Senator Edward Kennedy in 2007

His words from 1980 are still true also:

“For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.”

RAISE MIN WAGE = WALMART AND MIC-D GET LESS WELFARE HELP!

RAISE MIN WAGE = LESS FOR THE $BILLIONAIRES TO HIDE IN CAYMAN

TEA PARTY = BAGGERS FOR WELFARE FOR BILLIONAIRES AND BAILOUTS FOR BANKSTERS

TEA PARTY = BAGGERS FOR WELFARE FOR BILLIONAIRES AND BAILOUTS FOR BIG BANKERS

BAGGER FOR BILLIONAIRE TAX DODGES

A BAGGER FOR BILLIONAIRE TAX DODGERS

WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THAT ONE

RYAN BAGGER = CANTOR BAGGER = BOEHNER = ALL VOTED TWICE FOR BIG BANKSTER TARP BAILOUTS!

GOP = Federal Government Shutdown = LOSS OF $24 BILLION PAID FOR BY MIDDLE CLASS

GOP = TICKED-OFF C”R”apitalists CLASS by PLAYING chicken over funding the government = The Business Roundtable + Corporate CEOs + U.S. Chamber of Commerce = “an unwelcome hit to the economy and a sad symbol of our dysfunctional federal government” = brings uncertainty and risk into their affairs.

GOP = Threat of a federal government default = TICKED-OFF  C”R”apitalists CLASS even MORE – Government won’t be able to borrow money and could begin defaulting on its debts = spark another major financial crisis plunging the world economy into recession or worse.

Democrats are in the drivers’ seat with Corporate America and the general public as the “responsible” party in this dispute.

GOP = Real Battle is to push a Corporate austerity agenda for the People

GOP Bush = Disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina

GOP Bush = Disastrous FAKED and USELESS $6 Trillion WARS in Afghanistan and Iraq

GOP = LOST MASSIVELY in 2006 = “convincingly refuted the legend of invincibility…around Karl Rove’s …intensive base mobilization.”

GOP = Financial Collapse of 2008 = Intensified resentment against GOP Rule = centered around the bailout of the financial sector = TEA PARTY formed to distance SOME OF THE GOP from the Bush Establishment BAILOUT of BIG CRIMINAL AND INCOMPETENT BANKS = BUT Obama WON the presidency.

TEA PARTY = Rebranding strategy for GOP = FAKED guise of a grassroots movement = Supporters were older, whiter and richer than the overall population backed by some of the most powerful people in the country = GOP Establishment.

TEA PARTY = In 2010 distanced itself from the Bush legacy and as YOUTH and WOMEN did not VOTE in 2010 the Tea Party recapture the House with a 17% swing to WHITE ELDERLY VOTERS.

GOP + TEA PARTY = In 2012 LOST BIG AGAIN defeating the GOP TAX-DODGING ELITIST GOP and Romney = Rove was a MAJOR EMBARRASSMENT IN LOSS ON FOX = Tea Party’s focus on ideological purity WAS BLAMED BY ROVE.

GOP VS TEA PARTY = MAJOR Split IN GOP = Republican ESTABLISHMENT Mc CAlN called the Tea Partiers “whacko birds” = Feral reactionaries outside the capitalist class – a charade as Boehner and Cruz secretly in cahoots to push  austerity on the people

TEA PARTY LIE = A right-wing insurgency against business as usual = BAGGERS FOR BILLIONAIRES = TEA PARTY = Some of the richest and most notoriously conservative names in the U.S. Ruling class = Koch Brothers + Cruz was  endorsed by ESTABLISHMENT U.S. Chamber of CRIMINALS and ESTABLISHMENT National Federation of Independent Business.

TEA PARTY = Backed by a significant portion of the Capitalist ESTABLISHMENT Class = Only reason TEA PARTY EXISTS = But the ESTABLISHMENT capitalists against abolishing GOVERNMENT as they get their WELFARES from the MIDDLE CLASS via GOVERNMENT.

Obama = NICE JOB OF gutting public schools and attacking teachers’ unions.

GOP ESTABLISHMENT supports the Tea Party anyway to check anything Obama might do.

GOP + Fraudulent TP = “[T]he capitalist class as a whole keeps up a running fire against high taxes, not because it could or would alter the tax structure fundamentally, but in order to keep its share as low as possible within the limits dictated by present circumstances.”

 — Harry Braverman, an American Economist 1970s applies today in unprecedented attacks on “big government” spending that GOP MAXIMIZED now under Obama want unprecedented austerity.

TEA PARTY = Isn’t conservatism gone rogue but PUSHES ESTABLISHMENT POLICIES AND AUSTERITY FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Serious GOP differences = Significant Conflicts within ESTABLISHMENT Class.

SHUTDOWN = One Example of GOP and TEA PARTY PURPOSEFUL SPLINTERING to GAIN AUSTERITY on the PEOPLE.

WHY CAN’T THE ESTABLISHMENT GOP CONTROL THE TEA PARTY IT OWNS WITH $BILLIONS?

GOP = NOTHING BUT AN OPPOSITION PARTY THAT SAYS “NO” and THEY DO NOT CARE if a secure and decent investment climate exists – In fact they see that as Obama succeeding and are against it.

TEA PARTY IS FREE OF $BILLIONAIRE PRESSURE = 75% WHITE GERRY-RIGGED (64% is average) Districts SO ESTABLISHMENT $BILLIONAIRE BRIBERY LOOT = LESS IMPORTANT to win in “safer” Districts.

SO TEA PARTY RIGHT WINGERS HAVE AT LEAST TEMPORARILY SLIPPED THEIR LEASH = THE MULTI-NATIONAL $BILLIONAIRES AND FRAUDULENT CORPORATE AMERICA!

SO THE CHAMBER OF CRIMINALS = Announced plans to FIGHT the TEA PARTY CLOWNS saying “Clearly, we’re getting to a point where we need a Congress that’s going to be productive, proactive and create a stable environment for economic growth and job creation.”

Under capitalism = capitalists don’t control EVERY LAST THING = small possibility for FEW THINGS to move in directions that capital doesn’t want for a SHORT TIME = BUT THE ruling class has the “world’s second-most enthusiastic capitalist party” to rely on: the Democrats.

 

 

tea-bagger HAT 

THE BIG LIE THE TEA PARTY WAS FOUNDED ON = “Taxed Enough Already?”= FACT: Taxes on RICH lowest in 80+ YEARS = WHY ARE BAGGERS FOR TAX-DODGING BILLIONAIRES?

These include an individual’s freedom to speak their mind, assemble without fear, have access to information, worship as they please, and choose their own leaders. They also include dignity, tolerance, and equality among all people, and the fair and equitable administration of justice. The United States was founded upon a belief in these values…”

President’s Review Group on NSA surveillance/related issues = 46 recommendations

CLAPPER

NSA’s bulk telephony meta-data program – Source:  Geoffrey R. Stone, Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor of Law, University of Chicago, Member of Review Panel on HuffPost

9ll terrorist attacks = Significant changes to authority of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) (Section 215) to order “RELEVANT…tangible things including books, records, papers, documents, and other items” be turned over to the government for an investigation intended to protect the nation “against international terrorism.”

Section 215 essentially extended the traditional subpoena power of FISC to the foreign intelligence context and classified matters.

Section 215 = Enabled GOV to direct credit card company or phone companies to provide records of an individual reasonably believed to be planning or participating in terrorist activities.

May 2006 = FISC adopted a much broader and unprecedented interpretation of section 215 = that allowed collection of bulk telephony meta-data.

FISC judges later issued orders directed phone companies to turn over “on an ongoing daily basis,” huge quantities of telephone meta-data of millions of Americans not suspected of anything and retained for five years.

NSA said call records were “vital to NSA’s counterterrorism intelligence” to “continuously keep track of” the activities, operatives, and plans of specific foreign terrorist organizations who “disguise and obscure their communications.”

FISC said NSA can legally access telephony meta-data if “there are facts giving rise to a reasonable, articulable suspicion” (RAS) that a particular telephone number “is associated with” a foreign terrorist organization.  NSA in 2012 did 288 queries to get a list of every telephone number that either called or was called by the seed phone number in the past five years and then query that list for more numbers linked to them – possibly including 10’s of thousands of people.

NSA claims the 288 queries resulted in a total of 12 “tips” to the FBI.  The NSA reports that, on at least a few occasions, the tips helped prevent possible terrorist attacks, but  the Review Group concluded it had not prevented any planned terrorist attack since inception in 2006.

Government’s arguments for the meta-data program with Review Group’s analysis:

Government’s arguments for the meta-data program with Review Group’s analysis:

GOVERNMENTS 4 ARGUMENTS FOR BULK META-DATA:

1. Important tool to discover a suspected terrorist contacts other possible terrorists in USA – Amazingly they claim they could have prevented 9ll. 

REVIEW FINDING:  In fact, meta-data generated relevant information in only a small number of cases, and there has been no instance in which NSA could prove it HELPED.   Reason for program – potential terrorists did not know it existed, but now they do so, the Review Group concluded that it is not critical to protecting the national security. 

2.  Bulk telephony metadata does not intrude on individual privacy – Amazingly nobody told them to stop a program few knew existed and heck the phone company has it so people cannot expect privacy.

REVIEW FINDING:  Too much!  Peoples’ “decision to reveal otherwise private information to such third parties does not reflect a lack of concern for the privacy of the information, but a necessary accommodation to the realities of modern life….they want and expect the ability to use such services and the right to maintain their privacy when they do so….There is no reason why that should not be possible.

3. Mere calling data does not reveal anything particularly private since call itself is not kept. 

REVIEW FINDING:  We noted that “the record of every telephone call an individual makes or receives over the course of several years can reveal an enormous amount about that individual’s private life” – individual’s ‘familial, political, professional, religious, and sexual associations.’ – can seriously chill ‘associational and expressive freedoms’ – can significantly undermine public trust, exceedingly important to the well-being of a free and open society.” We concluded that the limitation of the program only to telephone meta-data did not eliminate potentially serious concerns about individual privacy.

4. NSA claims data is safe and protected from any improper use. 

REVIEW FINDING:  There “is always a risk that the rules, however reasonable in theory, will not be followed in practice” – despite careful safeguards, there had in the past been serious issues of unintentional noncompliance in the use of telephony meta-data program – many different kinds of abuse – “we cannot discount the risk, in light of the lessons of our own history, that at some point in the future, high-level government officials will decide” that this database “is there for the plucking” – the Church Committee noted surveillance abuses of the 1960s and 1970s – threatens to chill the exercise of First Amendment rights, and is inimical to the privacy of citizens.”

GOV says the bulk telephony meta-data program stops terrorist without invading  individual privacy and should be retained.

REVIEW OVERALL FINDING: The “ultimate question is not whether granting the government authority makes us incrementally safer, but whether the additional safety is worth the sacrifice in terms of individual privacy, personal liberty, and public trust.”  The Review Group concluded that, particularly in light of the availability of other means by which the government could achieve its objectives, “there is no sufficient justification for allowing the government to collect and store bulk telephony meta-data. We recommend that this program should be terminated as soon as reasonably practicable.”
