They moved the webinar downstairs to a strategy session and then booted us nonmembers off. I think maybe there will be video of the stuff that continued upstairs, along with the earlier stuff, up online tomorrow. So now I'm listening about more Israeli perfidy... for drill, I guess, by now, knowing already enough to keep me from having to collect all this information... and using up the images I was doodling on while listening to the press conference earlier....

Well fuck!

After clicking the wrong button and dumping my comment twice I've given up!

I should have done it outside of this friggin window then pasted it. I kept clicking the left button which loads the new link in this tab rather than clicking the wheel button to open a link in a new tab. I had it about 50% done the first time, I was going for the last site count when I dumped it again.

I had created lists of all the supposed progressive sites such as Raw Story, Huffpro, Common Dreams, Democratic Underground, Cannonfire, Truthout etc. - about ten in all.

Then behind each I listed the number of front page articles pertaining to this conference.

A big fat Zero for all of them.

Then stories about Tiger Woods - about 20 total.

Then stories about Coulter, Beck, Linbaugh and Palin - about 30 total.

TOTALLY PATHETIC!

Shit!

I wish you'd kept yer act together! I find I do not voluntarily go to ANY of those, plus TPM and The Brad Blog, for reasons similar to precisely this. They are ALL shilling for the fascist democrats... maybe some merely out of the dimness of habit, the difficulty of awakening from hypnosis even under the most shocking circumstances, but plenty of them PURPOSELY opting to keep safe by "loyally" playing the mindfuck game for them.

This is SO depressing. It was foreseeable, but nonetheless seriously depressing.

I also noted that in this "webinar" thing, they are obsessed with credentials. They don't exclude you if you don't have them, but they are hammering for dignified types of every enviable profession to come forward. I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE REASONING FOR THIS, AND I AGREE WITH IT. But it's depressing anyway.

I used to go to those places, had to dig the links up out of the dust bins. It's been several years since I frequented them.

Hopefully they will make it available to us.

they are obsessed with credentials

Hey they're Professional Architects and Engineers - no explanation needed.

I've never in my life lowered myself to competing in circumlocution with a woman.
—Viktor Yanukovych

Women really are the other half of the sky.
—John Lennon

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
—John F. Kennedy

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.
—not uttered by anyone in charge lately

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.
—Matt Taibbi

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

commenting kaos, sidebar krap, quotes

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
—Michael Parenti
