Preventing it is up to us.

Gerald Celente, 21 minutes....

Give Us All Your Money....

No, really, all of it....

Would that it would stay a mere currency war....

Lining up to save their homes....

Forty three million people on food stamps....

Pakistan finally provoked into defending its people....

Helpless Democratic-Fascists clean your clock....

And the not-so-helpless ones....

Bailing, bailing, bailing....

No, really, and indeed it's shocking....

Your moment of supreme levity... savor it....

Buck up!


More to come....

Yeah, well, bully... what version of this shit will be acceptable to him?
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Thursday that Obama is sending a newly passed bill back to Congress to be fixed because the current version has "unintended consequences on consumer protections." The bill would loosen the process for providing a notary's seal to documents and allow them to be done electronically.

Obama will not sign a bill that would allow foreclosure and other documents to be accepted among multiple states. Consumer advocates and state officials had argued the legislation would make it difficult for homeowners to challenge foreclosure documents prepared in other states.

The White House said Thursday it is sending the bill back to Congress for revisions, and that the administration would work with lawmakers on it.

O. Max Gardner, a consumer lawyer in Shelby, N.C., said the bill would have made the problems with foreclosure documents worse. That's because mortgage companies would have been able to mass-produce documents and affix a digital version of a notary's seal rather than one on paper.

"They could process more foreclosure cases with improper and invalid documents and make it more difficult for consumers to try to fight," he said.

Obama used a rare "pocket veto" — a tactic for killing a bill that can be used only when Congress is not in session. It essentially takes effect when the president fails to sign a bill within 10 days. Obama has yet to issue a traditional veto during his presidency; he has used a pocket veto once before, in December 2009, to address what amounted to a technicality on a defense spending bill.
Anybody had the mental space yet to consider how DIZZYINGLY fast this bill got spit out of the legislature and into the White House? DO YOU THINK THE CREEP IN THE OVAL OFFICE WILL DO ANYTHING BEYOND MAKING IT LOOK AS THOUGH, OH, NOW THE BANKS HAVE IT RIGHT?

You do? Are you NUTS?

  1. O.T.

    A new proposal by a top Microsoft executive would open the door for government licensing to access the Internet, with authorities being empowered to block individual computers from connecting to the world wide web under the pretext of preventing malware attacks.

    Pretext my ass - every freedom we have lost is under the pretext of doing good!

    One more step to complete corporate/police state!

  2. Well, that's pretty much not off topic at all... except I'm beginning to think that cutting us off from the intertubes might be a good thing. We'd be forced into the world to find out WTF is really going on and in so doing would come across others who want to DO something about it. That New Yorker piece on online activism I linked yesterday just NAILS it.

    Wanna fight fascism? Can't be done online.

    Wanna stop WWIII? Can't be done online.
