I notice that some of the conservative websites I follow are not outraged in the least by the coup in Egypt. This is one of those situations that separates the phony Constitutionalists from the people who believe in the Constitution. The neo-cons hate Muslims in general and religious Muslims in particular. They hate Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. I’m sure he’s an asshole and his followers are dangerous fanatics. I’m also sure the Egyptian generals that backed Mubarek and his dictatorship for decades are also evil fuckers. The entire Middle East is a religious clusterfuck of dangerous fanatics who blow each other up. The Egyptian people elected Morsi through the democratic process. Many Egyptians hate his guts and hate his policies. The American people elected Obama. Many Americans hate his guts and hate his policies. The Egyptian military overthrew Morsi last week and placed him under arrest. They are now killing his supporters as they riot. Is it OK for our military to overthrow Obama because his popularity rating is now only 40%?
For the slow witted (Congressmen, MSM pundits) here is the definition of a coup:
The sudden deposition of a government, usually by a small group of the existing state establishment—typically the military—to depose the extant government and replace it with another body, civil or military.
There is absolutely no doubt that a democratically elected leader of Egypt was overthrown and deposed. Our LAW states unequivically that foreign aid of $1.5 billion MUST be stopped immediately. Obama, his minions, Congress and the mainstream media tell me that laws must be followed when it comes to my every day existence. But the slimy snakes in Washington DC from both parties have decided they can ignore laws when they interfere with their agendas. The $1.5 billion will continue to flow to Egypt because our owners think it’s good for business. Most of this money benefits our Arms Peddlers in the military industrial complex. The lesson from this episode and dozens of other episodes over the last few years proves that the rule of law is meaningless in this country. Numerous laws will be enforced on the peasants but will be ignored and flaunted when they apply to the lords of the manor. Laws are designed to control you and allow the oligarchs to pillage without consequence.
In case you hadn’t noticed:
- Wall Street bankers engineered the largest control fraud in world history and not one banker has gone to jail. Over 1,000 bankers went to jail during the S&L Crisis of the early 1990’s.
- Mortgage brokers and the Wall Street banks colluded to create fraudulent mortgages, package them as MBS, paid off rating agencies to get a AAA rating, sold them to clients, shorted them knowing they would explode, and destroyed the lives of millions in the process. No one was prosecuted or went to jail.
- Wall Street bankers have commited foreclosure fraud on a grand scale (robo-signing) and not one banker has gone to jail.
- Ben Bernanke and Hank Paulson lied to Congress and the American people about the true implications of the September 2008 meltdown and neither has been held accountable.
- Eric Holder gave assault weapons to Mexican drug lords, which were used to kill U.S. law enforcement officers, and no one has gone to jail.
- The government is illegally collecting meta-data from all Americans in violation of the 4th Amendment. No one will be prosecuted.
- James Clapper lied to Congress about spying on the American people. There is no effort to prosecute him for this crime.
- The Obama administration has used the IRS to punish political opponents. No one will go to jail.
- Jon Corzine stole $1.2 billion directly from the accounts of his clients. He is not going to be prosecuted.
- Wall Street banks are caught using inside information on a daily basis to generate billions of illegal profits. The government fines them a few million. No one goes to jail.
Tacitus was right:
“The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.”
Our state is corrupt to its core. A true patriot, Edward Snowden, reveals the illegal traitorous actions of the government (Obama, Congress, NSA) and he is vilified by the oligarchs and their MSM mouthpieces. Edward Snowden should be hailed as a hero, but those in power will use their interpretation of the LAW to throw him in prison for life.
The message is obvious to anyone who chooses to think. THEY will use the law to crush you and keep you controlled, but the LAW does not apply to them. THEY are above the law. You are not free. You are a slave. The democratic process does not exist in this country. The system will never be changed from within. Their power, wealth and control is immense. The future will resemble Orwell’s vision unless enough people like Edward Snowden make a stand.
There’s a reason that education sucks, and it’s the same reason it will never ever ever be fixed. It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it. Be happy with what you’ve got. Because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the real owners now, the big, wealthy, business interests that control all things and make the big decisions.
Forget the politicians, they’re irrelevant.
Politicians are put there to give you that idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations, and they’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the State Houses, and the City Halls. They’ve got the judges in their back pockets. And they own all the big media companies so they control just about all the news and information you get to hear.
They’ve got you by the balls.
They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want; they want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I’ll tell you what they don’t want—they don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interest. You know something, they don’t want people that are smart enough to sit around their kitchen table and figure out how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago.
They don’t want that, you know what they want?
They want obedient workers, obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it.
And now they’re coming for your social security money.
They want your fucking retirement money; they want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later because they own this fucking place. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it! You and I are not in the Big Club. By the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you in the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to believe, what to think and what to buy.
The table is tilted folks, the game is rigged.
Nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard working people, white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard working people continue, these are people of modest means, continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t give a fuck about…give a fuck about you! They don’t care about you at all, at all, at all.
And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care.
That’s what the owners count on, the fact that Americans are and will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white, and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes everyday. Because the owners of this country know the truth, it’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.

Let us by all wise and constitutional measures promote intelligence among the people as the best means of preserving our liberties.
-James Monroe, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1817
We don’t have the rule of law, we have the rule of lawyers. They file 15 million lawsuits every year, and own the courts, the law, and the people. We have one lawyer for every 100 people, more than any other country in the world. They are parasites sucking the blood out of productive people the same way the criminals in government suck blood out of taxpayers. The banksters and corporatocracy use lawyers to commit crimes and steal tens of billions of dollars.
And anyone who contributes money to the criminal politicians will not be prosecuted. Corzine stole $1.4 billion dollars and walks a free man. Paulson stole $740 billion from taxpayers to make his buddies at JPM and Goldman Sachs whole, and he walks a free man. Bubbles Bernanke destroys our currency and economy, and he walks a free man. The banksters won’t get away from the court of the people, however, when some day after everything collapses, they are hunted down like the criminals they are and hung for all to see.
Until we get rid of the parasite class, the lawyers, politicians, unions, fraudsters and grifters, we will forever be circling the drain of fascism, tyranny, and despotism.
About 30% … or something like that … of Egyptians are PERMANENT voters for Muslim Brotherhood, Salami-ists. Bologna-ists, whatever.
Now … you got your man FAIRLY elected in the first fucking “democratic” election in their 5,000 year history.
Less than a year later …. your man has his ass kicked out of office FORCIBLY.
Now …. put yourself in the shoes of this 30%. Really. Do it. So, would you EVER trust “democracy” again? No. Would be feel completely alienated from and irrelevant in the political process? Yes. Would you be angry enough to the point of violence? Probably. Will you dedicate your life to fucking “them” over the way they fucked you over … or, provide aid and comfort to those that do? Probably.
Prognosis for Egypt; fucked six ways to Sunday for a long, long time to come.

“Prognosis for Egypt; fucked six ways to Sunday for a long, long time to come.”
Agreed.
Perhaps I’m being a bit of an idealist, but I believe the only way to successfully “export” our brand of democracy (constitutional republic) is to lead by example. This country should be the center of educational, medical and infrastructure excellence.) Instead we have shit like honey boo boo and Barack Obama, turning us into the laughing stock of the world.
Good News: Judge Orders U.S. to Release Aaron Swartz’s Secret Service File
Posted on July 9, 2013
By Mike Krieger
What is so disturbing about this aspect of the Aaron Swartz tragedy is the fact that the Secret Service had thousands of pages on Aaron Swartz to begin with. Considering he was known to all as a kind and gentle soul, what was the Secret Service so worried about?
Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is now inescapably clear. When the U.S. government refers to “national security,” what it actually means is the wealth and power of the status quo, the 0.01%. That is why a genius such as Aaron Swartz was considered an enemy of the state, and why the government amassed thousands of pages on him and drove him to his death. His genius and kindness was a threat to the corrupt establishment. As I’ve noted before: All My Heroes Have FBI Files. From Wired:
A federal judge in Washington, D.C. on Friday ordered the government to promptly start releasing thousands of pages of Secret Service documents about the late activist and coder Aaron Swartz, following months of roadblocks and delays.
The order was issued in my ongoing FOIA lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security – the Secret Service’s parent agency.
It was Secret Service agents who, in 2011, investigated Swartz’ bulk downloads from the JSTOR academic database, leading to the computer hacking and wire fraud case that loomed over Swartz at the time he committed suicide in January.
That criminal case was formally dismissed after Swartz’s death. Yet in February, the Secret Service denied in full my request for any files it held on Swartz, citing a FOIA exemption that covers sensitive law enforcement records that are part of an ongoing proceeding.
Judge Kollar-Kotelly is giving the government until August 5 to answer the lawsuit and produce a timetable for releasing all the responsive documents. In the meantime, the government has to start releasing the files it’s already processed. You’ll see them here when I get them.
Oh really Admin.? You really think that shithole can have a “fair election”. The US can’t even do that anymore. Even if he were “democratically elected” there was no mechanism for him to run the government, i.e there was no Constitution, and no rule of law. The rule of law was what Morsi said it was, and the people of Egypt disagreed with his version of the “rule of law”, so they had him thrown out. This is about the worst drivel you have written about “democracy”, which you totally miscontrue as the US form of government. Democracy is tyranny of the majority, which is what happens when a government is formed before the rule of law is established. The US is different from every other government ever established, as the US Constitution was written BEFORE the government was established— the Constitutional Republic was established by the original 13 states agreeing to adopt the Constitution, as previously written. No king or religious zealot force fed it to the people. Morsi was force feeding a platform of theism that the people did not want, and they would not stand for it, and they did a beautiful thing in having him deposed. Your argument is much like the adherents of the Usurper domestic enemy Obama, who say that since he ran on the platform of “hope and change” and “fundamental transformation”, and was “democratically elected”, that we the people must accept his acts as the executor of the laws. WRONG. Even if 90% of the electorate votes for him, he still must adhere to the Constitution, Suprema Lex, and he still must be eligible according to the Constitution.
Morsi was showing himself to be an enemy of the people, just like the domestic enemy Usurper Obama. Now if Americans would waken from their stupor and demand that Congress and the person acting as president be relieved of their duties and yanked from their offices, that would be a turning point in re-establishing the now deposed and voided Constitutional Republic. The Egyptian people were heroic, and YES it was a Coup, and YES it was justified. You went way off the rails, I’m surprised at you Admin.
Mick
Morsi was FAIRLY elected by a MAJORITY of the PEOPLE. (Yes, I think he was a dick.)
The Egyptian MILITARY got rid of him.
That’s NOT “democracy”.
Too bad you’re too much of a numbskull to understand that.
Mick,
the only true rule of law is the natural law, any law that isn’t simply a rewording is immoral. You don’t need to have an elaborate list of do’s and don’t’s to have a govt, it only need to protect liberty.
Morsi, just like Mubarak and GW, Obama etc… constantly violate the natural law with “their” laws. We have had a Constitution for over 200 years and that doesn’t stop the govt from violating.
“Morsi was FAIRLY elected by a MAJORITY of the PEOPLE. (Yes, I think he was a dick.)
The Egyptian MILITARY got rid of him.
That’s NOT “democracy”.
Too bad you’re too much of a numbskull to understand that”.
How do you know that Morsi was “fairly elected”. Who made the rules? Who counted the votes? Obviously you don’t understand my post (neither does Admin.) “Democracy” is not a form of government that leads to following “the law of nature and nature’s god”. It is tyranny of the majority (Thanks Harry P.). There was no law to follow in Egypt, and the people did not agree to follow the religious theocracy Morsi was trying to force feed them. They had every right to depose him. Duh.
Mick
Did you know that Obama is an American citizen, born in the U.S., and was lawfully elected President of the U.S.?
“Democracy ………. is tyranny of the majority” ———— Mick
What the hell are you talking about? Seriously … do you have a clue?
The Founding Fathers themselves were not unaware of this problem! James Madison said;
“It is of great importance in a republic not only to guard the society against the oppression of its rulers but to guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other part. IF A MAJORITY BE UNITED BY A COMMON INTEREST, THE RIGHTS OF THE MINORITY WILL BE INSECURE.”
“Did you know that Obama is an American citizen, born in the U.S., and was lawfully elected President of the U.S.?”
Did you know that the requirement is “natural born Citizen” (see a2S1C4). Again “lawfully elected” doesn’t mean anything. If 90% of the electorate vote for an illegal candidate, then he cannot serve.
Here is what SCOTUS says about the meaning of natural born Citizen, which is a security req. designed to prevent foreign influence (so how could one born of foreign citizensship be eliible?):
“The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens.” Minor v. Happersett, 88 US 162, 167 (1874)
There you have it. The SCOTUS says (and has said many times, and has NEVER defined natural born Citizen any other way) that natural born Citizens are born in the US of US Citizen parents. Of course Constitutional illiterates (like you) choose to ignore facts before your eyes. I give facts, you, not so much. Please cite the source of your contention that natural born Citizens are simply “born in the United States (not that Obama has proven that anyway- can you show the post office a pic of your Birth Certificate on a laptop and get a passport?).
Apparently, some things fly over the head of Mick The Dick.
“It is of great importance in a republic not only to guard the society against the oppression of its rulers but to guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other part. IF A MAJORITY BE UNITED BY A COMMON INTEREST, THE RIGHTS OF THE MINORITY WILL BE INSECURE.”
You just proved my point. DUH. The form of our government is Constitutional Republic, not “Democracy” (google “a Republic if you can keep it” Ben Franklin). How could it be a “democracy if there is no “right to vote”. Get a clue. The way you guys blather about the Constitution you should know something about it.
I knew you could not support your position, that anyone born in the US is eligible to be POTUS Admin. Come now, I thought you were a Constitutionalist, and so smart. Where is the proof that anyone “born in the US” is eligible to be President?
