Every Vote

Once upon a time upon this nation still young called America, it was heard out loud that “Every Vote Counts”! It required time and undivided effort to persuade this “charge of the light brigade” message, yet the citizens heeded that voice and “voting” became common-place as the voter turnouts have increased from sea to shining sea - Americans considering it their “Duty”. But when the poor and huddled masses started to show up at the polls to demand democracy, that started a cantankerous blitzkrieg to stymie the voters rights, as this class of citizens tended to cast votes as followers of the democratic movement. Democracy is democratic! Today though, due to the political wand of disenfranchising and voter suppression, it is warned that “Every Vote Must Be Counted”. Wow, it has gotten bad. And when we hear 10-years after that George Bush finished with second place honors in Florida during his 2000 bid as the “puppet” president – with the “chad” affair – we must realize that it was power through wealth that carried a fake to the Whitehouse. So we must be on guard of any and all takeover attempts upon our liberties. It is a war, on home turf once again. Now the pundits are going crazy, with Mitt and his friends on the campaign trail – like the relationship with the “Bloviating Ignoranus". And I thought it was Gingrich that was a zoo animal fanatic? This erection for the presidency has become nothing but a slug fest, wherein it is an election on the sell out, the winner will be the individual who can PAC it all away – that lobby money bent on buying the Commander-in-Chief seat. If I were a member of the Supreme Court, I would be sending out secret requests to other countries, for political asylum as with their victory upon Citizens United, we are seeing firsthand the destruction of the high court's “opinion”. How can a corporation be a person if it doesn't have a birth certificate? It is estimated that the 2012 election will easily tip the scale at $1-billion, per candidate. Add another billion from the SuperPac attacks, it is a shame upon the very merits of democracy “For the People”, as it appears to be a time not “By the People”. Money controls the greed factor, a linear relationship, but with exponential outcomes. With the Obama Team, it means members of the proletariat class scraping the bottom of the barrel to come up with a donation, $1, $5 - it all counts. So it means donations by the masses, or money from one side of the isle. With Mitt, it is estimated that the billion dollar bounty to buy something he doesn't deserve, something that should not be “For Sale”, his “war chest” will find an easy income spigot, as it is estimated that 5 wealthy individuals will make it happen. And with Karl Rove still not satisfied that he was an idiot and ate too much yellow cake, behind the scenes he is once again placating false hope that the GOP can provide for a better America, that Obama is evil and Mitt is a saint - that Moron knight in armor ready to rescue the 1% faction and turn the rest of the nation into slave laborers. Here is my sentiment. I am going to cast my vote to Mitt, as we need to give the neo-conservatives enough rope to hang themselves for the finally deserving – the end of the NEO! The GOP stole the election in 2000. They were successful in holding hostage the United States for 8-years, wherein the “puppet”, George Walker Bush made the U.S. the laughing stock nation of the world. As other nations gambled on a future of economic prosperity, we went to war. Now when McCain failed at securing the “puppet pulpit” to continue the ignoranceehind the Neo-agenda, well the neo-conservatives hadn't finished their business, as Masters of War, a “build to destroy” mementalityent on taking over the world – the PNAC plane of attack. So for the last four years, under Obama, we have seen all kinds of nasty moves designed to take down Obama, in essence, too take down this country. It isn't Obama, it's the fact the GOP has unfinished business. They think they know what is right for America, with jobs, with defense, so let them have their organism by giving them the helm. It is doomed to failure, but we must take tis opportunity to see it through for the last time, as a ways and means to forever put the 1% faction away. Look, vote for Mitt. It is like “throwing the game”. But we must, to finally place to rest the patheticness behind a minority faction bent on age-old political assassination,. Give it to Mitt. Let Humpty Dumpty have a great fall, as all the king's men and all the king's horses....See, this country is a big nothing without the proletariat class, the hard working salt of the earth working class heroes. You know what I am talking about. Now this does not mean we are giving up! When we see what has occurred in Wisconsin, the movement “Of the People” was meaningful. but in the end it will be money that fails the recall of Scott Walker. Money buys the subliminal effect, that secret bombardment of the thought process wherein it is very easy to disguise the true facts of the matter. Many take the bait, and we see how money can change things. People Power, Movement of the People, MoveOn, it still works but we need a new recipe to success. We need to have more intellectual patience our stand this country's future and by voting for Mitt, to let the evil party enter into a self destructing mode of victory, it is all we have as a ways and means to circumvent the wealth party's destruction upon our civil liberties. And once Capitalism fails, as that is what will happen given enough rope for a justified hanging, then we will have it our way, wherein the wealth is no longer hoarded away by a few - but distributed for a fair and just society with a future. Call it socialism, whatever, it is our future and it will work to our advantage, if we get there! That means changing bosses in midstream, and casting a vote for the most likely candidate not to succeed, Willard Mitt Romney. This is not a crazy ideal, it is a calculated risk, but it will work. Let them have their cake and eat it too! Back some time ago, there came the voice from very well educated philosophers that warned against this Capitalism frenzy, when wealth would sink the ship of fools. When it appeared that the Communist Bloc was coming under fire and would eventually disappear due failure in the popularity contest, these forward thinkers warned that without the threat of communism, capitalism was but a dream with its horizon disappearing. It was called the “Cross Roads”, and that occurred many moons ago, when the antagonists realized that “War” and its machine was outdated, costly and no way to plan for a future bent on the human endeavor of survival. People were sick and tired of the bloodshed, when the word “global” was starting to ring the bell of interest. Since then, this country has walked down a very narrow path, as we have been teased to continue our evil ways and means, with war, the machine backed by the minority. But due the unhealthy distribution of the wealth here in America, the victory we are after is still missing in action. We don't know what to do, now that Russia is no longer a threat, militarily. We should have seen it coming, the end of Capitalism. It will come in time, and the time to help out it's demise, it is now before us. We must change the course of the neo-conservative hate train, by letting the GOP and the neo-conservative movement finish its ugly like business, which may bring great harm and suffering, but when the smoke clears, it will be but a bad memory. And then we can rejoice, that the meek will inherit th earth. Some may swear this is crazed thinking, but think about it. Why has the Congress been so inept? Pure white collar capitalism with the likes of the Karl Roves, the wannabe Grover Norquists, the Koch Brothers, all trying to hold off what is inevitable! They and the wretched wealth and power are fighting us with all they have, and money can't buy me love! Throwing the election? It would be the best pitch a professional could deliver, top of the 9th! Match fixing, sports fixing, thrown game, in the end the neo-conservatives will have to face destruction, upon their own mental illness! Think twice when you enter that booth this time around. We have the power to change what has clouded over this once great nation and our future, a change that can be made without guns, without hate, without destruction, without voter disenfranchising, not a revolution, but a revelation as today the GOP and the Neo-conservative movement has indeed become its own worst enemy! Let's help them on their self-destructive dead-end dead-beat path to obliteration. That means giving in, let them have the control, let Mitt have the helm, as we know it will be but a short-lived victory. And when the last drop of Don Perignon is consumed, and the smoke clears, we the “Proletariats” will be there to pick up the pieces and claim victory once again - the American way, “For the People” and “By the People” once again the only victory speech to be heard on high. With PEACE on the horizon and the GOP forever banned from incorporating its destructive ways and means, and the Neo-conservative movement but a reminder in the historical archives. Vote for Mitt as it is time to end the madness!

Dear George Will

Dear George Will

I hope you can stand corrected, while calling Donald Trump the “Bloviating Ignoramus”. I do believe you meant to say “Blowhard Ignoranus”. There is a whole lot of difference, with the “anus” aspect, especially in Don's case! Keep up the good work! And didn't Don sell out his dad's estate to BAIN Capital, because he was going bankrupt? So there is a connection between Don and Mitt. And this leveraging that BAIN practices, sounds like Al Capone is alive and well, any MAFIA connection here?

Thanks man......

What's Public Trust?

So we find some successful political redistricting here in the Anchorage bowl, not really a problem except it has been proven that this maneuver is performed for no apparent reason then to disenfranchise the voting population. See, if a district has too many democrats, then the solution to pollution is dilution - the GOP motto. Yes indeed, the GOP redistricting plan of attack calls for a take over, well calculated to tilt the scale to the “new” majority in this once stable neighborhood of south Anchorage. So we find areas for years under the influence of democracy are now under the influence of lunacy. Yet there is nothing wrong with it, no matter what the outcome delivers! Now even though getting caught red handed with “disenfranchising” attempts designed to discriminate may bring an indictment, for some reason politicians can do no legal wrong and get criminal immunity through the appeal process. Just ask Tom Delay, still a free man, even after a conviction down in Texas. But once the plan of attack works and the legal ramifications wither away as “We the People” today is heard but as a suggestion, well a politician realizes that the only avenue to re-election assurance is through kissing the constituents asses - with gifts. It is bribery! And that is what we see happening with the DOME. This sport complex supposedly is in an area in south Anchorage that came under the redistricting fallout, wherein it became the exclusive right of Senator Leslie McGuire. And soon after there came gifts! Bottom-line, it is a violation of the “Public Trust” doctrine to that which is occurring, especially here in this case, a violation under the state's Constitution. See, most of the money in the state coffers is direct cash from the resources or investment income from money garnished through resource development. And the state Constitution is adamant that the resources belong to “All” the citizens and therefore any benefit of such must be appropriated “equally”. Herein exists the problem with the DOME, and how it has found money to do something that will benefit but a few. I will never use the DOME. In fact, what the hell is it really, some secret palace located somewhere and enjoyed by some elitist like fan club? All I know is the fact that at one time or another it was a controversial venture, as it was tied to the Change Point denomination. And even though the ministers of Change Point say there is no affiliation with the DOME, only as a neighbor, sure there is a connection as the church attended by Sean Parnell invested in the DOME, through loans and who knows what else. And if the DOME's parking lot is not up to municipality standards by August, guess what, no “Certificate of Occupancy”. Which means it will move into bankruptcy once again, and Change Point's investments may dwindle away. And without money that finds no taxation, imagine not having a “war chest” to help Jerry Prevo fight down any move towards “A City of Equality For All”! Now Governor Sean had nothing to do with the state loot earmarked for this extravaganza, a parking lot, but doesn't deny it either, as he knew about it and let it move on through the check writing process. His signature is on the giveaway. Look, the Change Point was just another wasted and failed project. The best thing the state could have done is stay on course and keep this multi-million hi-teach building and equipment a fish processing plant. But to turn it over to a church for nanoseconds on the dollar? It was a political move, just like Leslie MaGuire's $1.5-Million gift, which will benefit a few, once again a violation of the “Public Trust” doctrine. It happens everyday, as “We the People” of Alaska have been blinded by the corruption. Leslie knows this is wrong, as does Sean, but there comes no repercussion. See, Leslie's husband was the test case for the Corrupt Bastard's Club. It meant jail time, but after that the entire corruption follies took on a dementia that has left this state a laugh, and a reason why many of us have become sick and tired and decided to pack up and move somewhere with affordable energy. To a place with less political corruption, as it is the latter that insists on the high price Alaskan's pay for keeping the family jewels warm in the winter. Look, Alaska has still some of the largest recoverable oil reserves, yet we pay the highest energy prices in the nation for the longest time period, as winter up here lasts at least 8-months! Bottom-line, this “gift” by Leslie to benefit but a few, it is criminal as it is a scam upon the Alaska Constitution. In fact, just the other day Parnell was quoted as trying to tell other business men about the Constitutional mandate that the resource wealth must be shared by all so there was nothing he could do about the high cost of heating fuel in and around Fairbanks - the Mayor of North Pole called his bluff! Talk about a double standard. Maybe this is where the separation of church and state fails! Now Leslie was no where to be found when the news hounds asked questions about the earmark for the DOME, in her new area of “Political Control”. But are we looking for an honest answer from her? Remember the time when she caused a disturbance on an Alaska Airlines flight out of Juneau, including throwing a glass of water about when flight attendants refused to serve her alcohol – when the plane was delayed on the runway due weather? She was escorted through the airport by police for questioning. In the recorded police interview, Leslie repeatedly said she did “nothing wrong”. She said she was unfairly targeted by a flight attendant. The airlines pressed no charges. Not because it was an untrue scene and attack, as flight attendants are professional and know when a passenger is unruly and a possible harm to other passengers. It went by the wayside, due the stench of Alaskan style politics. But if that were you or I, we would be on the NO FLY list. Preferential treatment? No different then what is happening with the DOME. It is yet another violation of the public trust doctrine, by those that should know better their actions, or in Parnell's case, the governor's inaction! Bottom-line, if the DOME cannot go it on its own, then it should be closed down. What is wrong with kids running outside? This is Alaska!

Censure Begich Petition

Censure Senator Mark Begich

By Spam MaGee

To be delivered to: Senate Select Committee on Ethics, Barbara Boxer Committee Chair, The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama

U.S. Senator Mark Begich(Alaska) is using "blackmail" against the U.S. Air Force and holding back deserving promotions our men & women in uniform, because he cannot get information that meets his criteria as too why Eielson AFB is seeing cutbacks due reduced military spending. This tactic, it is unbecoming a U.S. Senator, we must unite to "Censure" Mr. Begich.

U.S. Senator from Alaska Mark Begich is holding up the promotion deserving of Lt. General Herbert J. Carlisle for matters unrelated to this individual's dedication to serve our country.

A Sad Memorial Day

I was hoping to get closure on a very delicate and sensitive situation involving the hold-up of a military promotion, a well deserved promotion for a Lt. General Herbert J. Carlisle, placed on hold for unrelated reasons by Alaska's U.S. Senator Mark Begich - closure I wanted before this day that honors our men & women in uniform. Closure herein was upon my complaint against Mr. Begich for using tactics unbecoming a U.S. Senator. Look, for a sitting U.S. Senator to use this type of creepy blackmail against the United States Air Force, against an individual with nothing too do with Mr. Begich's hardon over the closing of Eielson Air Force base without reason that meets his criteria, is there not a law against it – the “blackmail” to deliver or else? I thought so, and filed a complaint with the Senate Select Committee on Ethics to “censure” Mr. Begich. What a mistake and a waste of my time, as the response from Barbara Boxer's office left me spellbound and adamant that soldiers nowadays continue to face the sad fact that this country has not learned from our mistakes, in the way we treated the troops following the end of the Vietnam war. I am starting to get sick and tired my party affiliation! If every vote counts, Obama may be in for a struggle. Just for spite over this careless disregard promoted by Begich, I might just vote for the other side this time around. And if there are any legal wits out there that can discipher this message from the Committee Chair's office, as too why my complaint has no merit, please help out this citizen in need of a legitimate answer. According to the Committee's Chief Counsel & Staff Director:

This will respond to your letter of complaint against Senator Mark Begich. In the absence of evidence of improper conduct or violation of rule or law, it is each Member's prerogative to determine how these responsibilities will be conducted. A member's votes, legislative action, views, opinions, public statements, associations, or choice of appearances are the kinds of matters which the Committee has previously considered to be within the discretion of each Member and which will generally not be reviewed or commented upon by the Committee...the final judgment with respect to such matters is reserved for a Member's constituents and voters. Based upon a review of the information which you have provided, and in view of the Committee's decision respecting such matters, the Committee has concluded that no further action is appropriate with respect to your complaint and the matter is dismissed.

Sad it may appear, here it is in a nutshell. There is not a single individual out there from sea to shining sea that would argue against the fact that Mr. Begich's tactics are borderline “Treason” like. But for this committee under a democrat, if they had the balls to open up an investigation, that could only lead to evidence enough that Begich should be put away, incarcerated for “Treason”. Am I the only “AMERICAN” that finds Mr. Begich's holding hostage the Air Force and promotions out-of-touch reality? There existed more than enough evidence to pursue “censure” against Begich. The Congress is afraid to act, not only on important issues facing our nation, but cannot find the guts for “Old Glory”, to fix what is broken. So that is why we see this pathetic correspondence. It is indeed a “Do Nothing Congress”, even on issues important to the citizens. The way I read this lame excuse to do nothing, well it appears that each member of Congress gets to police his or her own actions, or inactions. Isn't self incrimination against the U.S. Constitution? This law and no order seems to fit the perfect “Mobius Strip” pattern. How do these things get passed? Simple, we are not looking, or too busy tending our own hen house while the Constitution gets ripped apart, shat on, spat on by botex babes. The bottom line, how can this Memorial Day be honorable when we see demeaning things going down, like Mr. Begich's blackmailing! If I were Mr. Carlisle, I would sue Mr. Begich personally. Anyway, I used to honor this day, but today I refrain, as when a Congress does not give a rat's ass about our troops, then we have before us a doomed democracy! Please help, sign a petition to “censure” Mr. Begich:

Where’s the Pipe?

I don’t know why everybody up Fairbanks way is panicking over the Mark Begich showdown - taking on the military brass - with respect to the inevitable shutdown of Eielson Air Force Base, as real good paying jobs are available elsewhere. Yes indeed, thousands of well paying jobs are coming our way, courtesy AGIA - Sarah Palin’s legacy. See, there is something we can thank her for besides turning Alaska into reality TV central, where a bunch of misfits find their ten-minutes claim to fame! That fishing crap and gold-rush crap, what has happened to the “Real Alaska”? But not to worry, as we have job opportunities in the making, courtesy AGIA! So instead of staying at home with nothing to do except the couch potato blues, bombarded by that TV crap, we can become gainfully employed! And if not qualified to land one of these well paying jobs, training opportunities are readily available, in efforts to secure the best jobs possible since the building of the Trans-Alaska-Pipeline. See, with AGIA, it requires TransCanada – the applicant that was awarded the “license” to build something besides a paper mache pipeline – the legislation behind AGIA requires the Trans-Man to make every effort to hire local folks, like you and I, for any job related to this project. Accordingly, the licensee will “commit to hire qualified residents from throughout the state for management, engineering, construction, operations, maintenance, and other positions on the proposed project". It is the “other position” phase we are into today. That qualifies anybody with a brain, pea or flea, to get on the payroll - wherein even Joe Miller is acceptable. And with the possibilities of $500-million in incentive bonuses from the state of Alaska Boogeyman, there are jobs for the asking, positions to be filled by Alaskans! Boogeyman? That’s Sean Parnell, the silver-bullet man! The man with the “Trust Me” smile. So let’s see what Mr. Phineas J. Whoopee and his 3D Magical board shows may be in store in the jobs category with this kind of free loot floating around. Wow, that amount of money equates to at least 2000 good paying salaries, just to ask questions about how people feel about a natural gas pipeline that is still not anywhere close a reality, and just another pipe dream. Hey, we got away with bridges to nowhere, so we fooled ourselves into believing other “nowhere” stuff a possibility. And these jobs are the cushion type stuff, no hands dirty. No time clock! Most likely per diem, relocation bonuses, great medical benefits, like most state bureaucrats receive. WOW! And since the AGIA legislation goes on until the money is spent, why fear a job loss at some crummy dilapidated military base? And even though the state remains the dominant this agreement with the Trans-Man and holds tight that sentiment “don’t slap the hand that feeds you”, it has found itself in the corner, with no wiggle room in this AGIA. See, there is a clause in the agreement that allows either party to make a call, that the project is uneconomical, at anytime during this project's design lifetime, better defined as the “Open Season”, like is happening right now as soon as the jobs are filled. But we are at that “uneconomical” point in the game, with falling natural gas prices in the lower 48, from “frac” attacks. But if the state reneges, the Trans-Man still can get the loot from the state, all $500-million earmarked, then some through – hold your hats – through “Binding Arbitration”!!! So even if that “uneconomical showdown” should occur, the jobs will remain! Wow, jobs with security! That is why the AGIA police - namely Mr. Daniel Sullivan, the Alaska Commissioner of Natural Resources and a Palin hang-over along with Butcher, the Commissioner of Revenue - they allowed the Trans-Man to renege on a Trans-Canada pipeline route and opt for an instate pipeline. It was a means to stall the “Abandonment of Project” stipulation, language built into the “Act” designed to protect Alaska’s interest. Talk about changing horses in midstream! Who do these idiots work for. Them or us? But even though it is now an uneconomical venture, if either party wants to stop it, to stop wasting away money as is the case with the current state of affairs, the other party can haul in “binding arbitration” - and get a lucrative settlement. What a joke! What numskull agreed to this crappy legislation? Was Palin that naïve? Good thing she never became vice. So no matter what, it means the state will let the entire process bide its time and the Trans-Man will sneak away with $500-million. That means we will get nothing in return and see our PFD decreased by some $1800 bucks. See, it takes 3 state workers for every Trans-Man worker, the typical over-kill when nobody is listening. Look, if there was truly the reality of a natural gas pipeline from Prudhoe Bay south, even just to Fairbanks so maybe cheap energy could keep Eielson off the chopping block, right now with the snow gone away and green grass of home making a show, ditches along the Dalton would be receiving pipe. It ain’t happening. And there are no long lines at the union halls, as there ain't no pipeline coming our way, now or forever Amen. The sad thing, there have been hardly any local jobs created with this Trans-Man and AGIA relationship. But the money has disappeared. Why in hell are we supporting Canada? The money was hauled off somewhere, out of state out of mind. Do you realize that Canada, through Toronto Dominion, owns a whole lot of the military infrastructure here in Alaska? Another reason the brass are looking at closing the Alaska military bases. See, there wasn’t an American bank that would allow money to be wasted on power plants ridden with asbestos and lead base paint as found at most of Alaska's aging and dilapidated fortresses. So the “privatization” thing turned into a “Turncoat” affair. Sorry, I went off subject, but there is a whole lot of reasons as too why the military infrastructure in Alaska is on its last leg, too damn expensive. “Open Season”? I guess we have been hunted down, wounded and every damn time we try to get on our feet, “boom”, another silver bullet calms any attempt to prosperity with austerity. What's that?
