We are legion. We do not forgive.
We do not forget. Expect us.
EXPECT US.
You’re either with us, or against us.
Whose side are you on?
No fear…
You can send the boy to Vietnam, but he will come back a man, and he will always be… in Vietnam.
That’s just the way it is.
You’re either with us, or against us.
No fear…
You lost. Get over it.
Though to be fair, if not accurate, nobody really “won” anything. This year’s vote was for no change, for more of the same, for the status quo. Though the Democrats saw a nominal gain here in Cascadia, virtually every incumbent Republican retained their seat. So too across the “nation”, where the Democrats saw a nominal gain in the Senate, and the re-election of their president, but the House remains the same, a house sworn to the obstruction of anything the half-black man in the white house might do.
The Bankers, the Insurers, the Usurers, their jack-boots at the nation’s – nay, the world’s – neck, are still there. The drug and chemical companies are still there, doping us to the gills while the same mainstream media peddles propaganda with a crotch-shot every thirteen minutes. The same gas/oil/car companies have us paying for the privilege of disposing of the toxic waste by-product of their other productions while we all continue to pump hot gases into the atmosphere at a rate that may well leave this world uninhabitable for our grand-children. The same military/industrial complex, the same Churches, the same Corporations – your One World Government types – are out there encouraging us to kill and die in the name of the same nigger god. Nothing has changed, it’s just more of the same, the status quo.
After a year of mindless media propaganda, of lies, more lies and god-damned lies; of expressions of racism, misogyny and religious intolerance unlike we’ve seen since at least the sixties, if not the thirties, nothing has changed, it’s just more of the same, the status quo. A waste of time bitter spent.
Speaking of our grand-children – remember them? Ben Franklin was fond of quoting “in all of our deliberations we must consider the consequence of our action even unto the seventh generation.” He was also fond of quoting “united we stand.” So, Tea Bagger, maybe you could grow up a little bit, learn something, join the twenty-first century. Put down the Ambien, Prozac, Viagra and crotch-shots on Fox TV Kool-Aid and turn off the television. We, have a lot of work to do if our, grand-children are to survive. Otherwise, get over it.
We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us. Expect us.
You’re either with us, or against us. Whose side are you on?
No fear…
We Humans for time immemorial have yet to find the need for a book, or some white dog in a dress that likes to butt-fuck little boys, to tell us that it is really not a good
From your own god-damned book, Numbers 33:35
Thou shalt not pollute the land wherein you are; for blood it defiles the land; and the land cannot be cleansed that is shed therein, but by the blood of he who shed it. Defile not the land, which you inhabit
We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us. Expect us.

Mitt Romney, Greg Walden, Knute Bueller and the Republicans.
A vote for the Republicans is a vote for Cascadia!
If you too are tired of living under the jack-booted heels of East Coast and European Elites, tired of Bare-footed Reich-wing Religious Rubes running your life from some re-claimed swamp out in the flatlands three (or ten) thousand miles away; if you long to Live Free and Independent in the Republic on the North Pacific Coast that Thomas Jefferson envisioned, vote for Mitt Romney, Greg Walden, Knute Bueller and the Republicans.
With his over seventy percent success rate at Bain Capital bankrupting the companies he acquired, his bankrupting of the state he governed, and his bankrupting of the government bailed-out Olympics, I am confident Mitt Romney, Greg Walden, Knute Bueller and the Republicans can finalize the process begun under Nixon, solidified under Reagan and Bush the Senior, and successfully hastened to near fruition under Bush the Lesser (remember him?): the hollowing out of “America”. The bankrupting of “America”.
The destruction of everything that made “America” great. And it will collapse; splinter – fall apart, devolve – into Nation/States centered on geographical, environmental and cultural commons.
Out of the Ashes will arise the Free and Independent Republic on the North Pacific Coast that Thomas Jefferson envisioned. Vote Cascadia!
Vote Mitt Romney, Greg Walden and Knute Bueller. Vote “Republican”.
Mitt Romney: Bad for “America”. Good for Cascadia!
No fear…
From its pyramid-shaped throne on the back of a dollar bill…

“I am the god of the 1 percent. You shall have no other gods before me. I help those who help themselves and visit poverty over many generations to those who would redistribute the wealth that I have freely given to those who luxuriate without guilt in my love. I reward the spirit of material excess because I hate poverty and the poor who have rejected my ways.
“I am a vulgar god who never tires of the misery perpetuated by those who exploit the resources of the planet for tax breaks and personal gain. The smoke of belching coal plants and runoff from hydraulic fracturing pleases me. Let those who refuse to rape the earth that I have made in six days be accursed.
“I am the god of ‘In God We Trust.’ You shall have no other gods before me. Give to the poor (if you must) out of your excess and at your discretion. Don’t be compelled by guilt. The poor don’t need a safety net as long as I, the god of the Koch brothers and Ayn Rand, lives in the heart of every patriotic American. It is money that I love, not mercy for its own sake. Mercy without conditions offends me.
“I am the god of the morally upright. I abhor homosexuals, Democrats, mimes and all who believe in global warming. Those who have AIDS can give all glory to me. It is by my hand that every dread disease except obesity and cancer is visited upon the earth. Do not be fooled: I loathe the followers of Lady Gaga. Women who refuse to submit to male authority are an abomination.
“Those who believe in me know evolution is a lie straight from hell. The dinosaurs drowned during Noah’s day because the ark couldn’t contain them. This is not a mystery if you believe science is evil with all your heart.
“I am the god of war. I love violence and the mindless proliferation of guns in every home. Horses and bayonets proclaim my glory over the whole earth. That is why America is my blood-stained footstool. Guns don’t kill — I do.
“I am the god of the Invisible Hand. I hate the 47 percent who siphon the productivity of my blessed Job Creators. On Election Day, I will pour out my wrath on those who receive the mark of the Kenyan Keynesian. Repent of your idolatrous liberalism, or else.”
No fear…
We were… acquainted, back in the day.
First Amerian Activist Russell Means died today at Porcupine, S.D., age 72.
Russell Means was an early leader in the American Indian Movement (AIM), and had been battling throat cancer for years.
In 1973 Means was one of the leaders of a 71-day uprising at Wounded Knee in South Dakota between Lakota and FBI and law enforcement agents.
Means’ wife and children released this statement on his passing:
Our dad and husband, now walks among our ancestors. He began his journey to the spirit world at 4:44 am, with the Morning Star, at his home and ranch in Porcupine. There will be four opportunities for the people to honor his life to be announced at a later date. Thank you for your prayers and continued support. We love you. As our dad and husband would always say, “May the Great Mystery continue to guide and protect the paths of you and your loved ones.”
In a post on his own website Saturday, Means wrote that he was moved by support he and his family had received since his battle with cancer was made public, and told his fans, “I, like all of us, will eventually join my ancestors, and when I do, my hope is that you will all continue to dedicate yourselves to the work to which I have tried to commit my life — liberation and freedom for my Lakota people, for all indigenous peoples, and, in fact, for ALL peoples.”
We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us. Expect us.

They can only “win”, by cheating…
Romney family buys voting machines
Tagg Romney, the son of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, has purchased electronic voting machines that will be used in the 2012 elections in Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma, Washington and Colorado.
“Late last month, Gerry Bello and Bob Fitrakis at FreePress.org broke the story of the Mitt Romney/Bain Capital investment team involved in H.I.G. Capital which, in July of 2011, completed a “strategic investment” to take over a fair share of the Austin-based e-voting machine company Hart Intercivic,” according to independent journalist Brad Friedman.
Lansing Scott has a good article and a couple of companion posts up over at Geov Parish’s place, Eat the State, about how now that Delusional is No Longer Marginal, it is no longer Your Grandfathers’ Republican Party (or mine), and this blast from the past: Know Your Fascism. Something to think about as you fill out your paper mail/hand-in ballot, paying particular attention to characteristic number fourteen: Fraudulent Elections. They can only “win”… by cheating.
Fourteen Defining Characteristics Of Fascism
November 15, 2010 in White Rose
By Dr. Lawrence Britt, Source Free Inquiry.co
Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each:
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
4. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread
domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
6. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
7. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
9. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. Fraudulent Elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Lawyers, Guns and Money brings it home:
Mike Elk has an important story out on how the Koch Brothers are trying to influence workers in the companies they own to vote for Republicans. Focusing on their Georgia Pacific plywood and paper mills in Oregon, Elk demonstrates the long arm of the Koch Brothers on our elections. I had two thoughts on this. First, don’t mess with Northwestern timber workers. There’s enough workplace radicalism left in that industry that I’m not surprised at all they were willing to talk.
There’s enough workplace radicalism left in that industry to slap the living shit out of the status quo. Wobblies are still around, angrier, like wine, with time.
Second, what’s scary to me is the effect of Citizens United on state elections. Not only did the Koch Brothers tell their workers to vote Romney, but they also provided a list of people in state elections that support their agenda. In local and state elections, it doesn’t take a lot to swing the vote. Especially in some of these small timber towns, Republicans can win election to the statehouse. Oregon’s legislature is basically split evenly between the two parties. So this matters a lot.
Georgia-Pacific responds. I should note that my last mill job was in a Georgia-Pacific mill. Nonunion, of course. And my grand-parents were Wobblies. Here.
Angrier, like wine, with time. You’re either with us, or you’re against us.
Whose side are you on?
After four years of racist obstruction to any attempt to fix the problems they created, come November the Republicans are going to get their asses kicked into oblivion – as in, The Republican Party will no longer exist.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. To bad we can’t send them all to Africa. Dogs.
