May Day: Move to Amend

May 10, 2013 Day of Action Against Corporate Personhood

 

 

When the Supreme Court decided for corporations in the Citizens United v. FEC case, it elevated knowledge of the doctrine of “corporate personhood” to new heights. Hundreds of thousands of people now know what those words mean.

 

But as awful as Citizens United is, corporate personhood wasn’t created with that case. Corporate Personhood was concocted by corporate lawyers 127 years ago.

 

On May 10, 1886 in the Santa Clara v. Southern Pacific Railroad case, the Court is said to have given corporations their first foothold in the Constitution.

 

In the case, corporations argued they are protected under the 14th amendment — the amendment passed to ensure equal protection of African Americans after slavery was abolished. Since then, there has been case after case in which the Court expanded the Constitutional “rights” of corporations.

This year, on the 127th “birthday” of corporate persons, Move to Amend activists will be organizing actions and events all over the nation.

Detecting Political Correctness

There are no formulas to apply to written or spoken words to indicate the person writing or spewing their froth is calling upon implanted knee-jerk rhetoric of the politically correct (PC) type.

Merely disagreeing with an opinion or belief does not make it PC. But, I have noticed that what I believe to be PC-laden folks bashing those with differing opinions and using PC emotion-laden frivolous terms in response to what they disagree with.

Disagree with a PC persons’ opinions or beliefs and be prepared for having emotion-laden labels placed upon you.

It is these labels that assist me in ascertaining if the writer/speaker is what I consider to be one of a growing number of PC indoctrinated buffoons who tend to be lacking in education or the curiosity to expand their very limited knowledge base.

Babbling buffoons. A bevy of them. Bountiful buffoons. Spewers of inanity. But, that is merely my opinion and I declare that in many of my writings across the Web; something I witness very few PC dingalings doing.

I am going to start a cumulative list and while writing when I think of a new addition I will add it to the list below:

Indicators you are reading/hearing a PC person communicating

.

• Opinions written as if those opinions are fact

• Label those disagreeing with them a “hater” or “bigot, “xenophobe” “Nazi” etc.

• Tendency to ridicule their own race, culture, ethnicity, whatever but typically only if the PC spewer is a Caucasian USA resident.

.

I have thought about writing an entry covering this topic but refrained from doing so because the concept I want to convey is difficult.

There are many variables about the topic and my ability to convey thoughts seems inadequate, to me, to share what are in my thoughts.

Here is what sparked my decision to create this entry; a comment left upon a Web site:

“…bombing a lot of poor brown civilians.“

There is that “brown” term again referring to skin pigmentation levels.

I read mention of “brown people” this and that and written by those I label as being PC indoctrinated.

Hey!!!  I just found a decent explanation about political correctness with some examples of PC:

“Political Correctness (PC) originally flowered in academia and spread like a virus through the government and corporate worlds. It has devolved into a tyranny of the most offended person in the room. PC complaints now range from the sublime to the ridiculous, and they are stifling the honest assessment, and debate, of issues in our lives.”

The site where the quote above originates and the examples chosen is here:

10 Ridiculous Cases of Political Correctness

.

My tirade is against PC-ridden buffoons spewing their typical knee-jerk rhetoric when leaving comments at Web sites and at message boards. These spewers of political correctness generally write in a manner that does not convey the writer as being a logical, rational creature and obvious-to-me of minimal educational attainment; basically, the average buffoon infesting the human herd who has absorbed much of the life-long propaganda we are all immersed within.

Some of those gulping down that propaganda chose to gobble the PC credos and incorporate that general philosophy into their bleating citizen-sheep lives.

The linked-to site above chose examples of a different type but are indicative of that which is PC.

The Police can be a Friend or an Enemy

I am a civil, law-abiding citizen.

I have stepped in when thugs wanted to harm others and stopped them.

I assisted a California Highway Patrolman battling a drug-crazed scum who had ran his car into a pick-up with a family of four within.

That scum was getting the better of the cop with the cop having to devote his effort to keeping the thug from getting hold of his pistol.

My jumping into the fray and wrapping adrenalin-powered arms around the scum’s throat ended that battle!!!

Wheeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

I mention the above because I am going to lambaste the behavior of the jack-booted thugs in the article linked-to below:

 

Man claims police harassing him over legal grow house

 

Two-Faced Idiotic Anti-USA Federal Government

Okay… I admit that governments are a necessity and that all governments suck in many ways.

Most, perhaps all, governments have at least a few good points, I suppose.

Even that idiot infesting North Korea… that super-elite scum fat-boy deserving of a brain tumor infestation in my worthless Disgruntled Old Coot Opinion ™.

Hmmm… the latest warlord-like “beloved leader” of N. Korea is…. Kim Jong-un

Compared to the main government of North Korea the governments of most of the world appear to me as much more desirable!!!!

Even as bad as N. Korea’s government is consider what life might be like if there was no government.

Would bandits and packs of thugs roam the countryside raping, killing, stealing and possibly enslaving the masses of common folks even worse than they are living within that disgusting-to-me Jong-Dong-Sclong-Wrong-un or whatever led travesty of a governing entity?

 

USA Public Education is Brainwashing

Why should USA citizens pay so MUCH money for Kindergarten to 12th-grade education when MUCH of the money spent is to create a multitude of bureaucracies sucking up immense amounts of wealth and providing lucrative employment, benefits and excellent retirements for bureaucrats and highly-placed administrators?

Also, perhaps most importantly, those 12 to 13 years of schooling is a major component of the USA’s ruling elites and their lackeys thorough indoctrination/brainwashing of the masses of USA common folks.

Please notice how the upper-crust of the USA often send their kids to the proper academies where those in the know are aware that the indoctrination those despised commoner kids are deluged with does not occur.

Future elites are taught realities that those elites attempt to hide from the commoners they rule and skim so much wealth from.

I remember the lies spewed by President Obama and his cohorts and accepted and conveyed by the elite-owned mass media when Obama first became president and moved into the White House.

When asked where his kids would go to school Obama declared he did not want public school kids to be bothered by or have to contend with Secret Service agents protecting his kids.

Instead of a public school where commoner kids are brainwashed… Obama’s kids and their protectors went to a private academy!!!

So– the students at the academy will not be bothered by the agents OR

That private academy will not expose Obama’s kids to the garbage shoved into the heads the masses of despised commoner kid’s heads are flooded with?!!!

Take a guess, folks.

Thinking About Times Long Ago

Elites and their lackey figurehead politicians across the world are so quick to send the common folks to battle and kill and be killed or horribly wounded or harmed in many other ways.

The scum at the top of the socio-economic hierarchy live luxurious lives at the expense of the many below them.

This fact of life is in all countries, cultures, institutions and other entities where a hierarchical structure exists.

Various religions operate this way along with corporations and other entities.

Of course, the well-indoctrinated brainwashed among us who are part of the commoner class but high enough up the socio-economic hierarchy to live better lives than those below them tend to mention the relatively few exceptions to the far more common generalities I consider when writing.

 

I wish things could be different but I suppose basic human instincts are the greatest enemy of We, the People… everywhere.

Humans are a social creature with top dogs and those at the bottom of the pack.

And then there is the instinct for a “sense of belonging” that is shown in a multitude of ways.

A recent example for me was watching a NFL football game on TV. USA-type football.

The TV camera panned onto the spectators frequently and the actions, mannerisms, apparel worn, etc. showed me what I perceive but one of MANY ways humans bond to something outside themselves.

 

A Kindred Spirit

Walking out the Wal-Mart doors with the goods paid for the alert system began flashing red lights and a recorded voice began ordering me to stop and return.

That alarm sensed I had merchandise not paid for ergo, I was a THIEF!!!

When I have seen this event happen to other folks they stopped and returned with nary a soul ignoring the non-human command.

Yet one of many indicators that the USA human herd consists primarily of well-indoctrinated citizen-sheep.

Obey your ruling-class masters. Obey corporate USA. Obey their bureaucrats. Obey their hired lackeys. Obey the figurehead lackey politicians. Obey their enforcement personnel; especially the jack-booted thugs.

Disobey the jack-booted thugs and pain, physical damage or even death can result. Even if you do obey the thugs that pain, disablement or death can still occur!!!

Obey every single law, even the laws in place just to maintain a status quo required by the elite masters to maintain their stranglehold upon We, the People  Serfs.

Failure to obey the elite’s laws that are akin to slave chains and the punishment for disobeying can ruin you for life, even take your life if you are falsely accused and convicted of a crime allowing the death penalty. Since you are likely a mere commoner with limited to no wealth you may be unable to prove your innocence.

“But, Old Coot, the USA law declares that the law has to prove your guilt!!!”

Yes, that is what the life-long propaganda proclaims but in reality… the “law” can be akin to quicksand sucking you under as you helplessly flail about.

Having a legal system is a requirement for a civilized society but everything human created and operated is subject to abuse in many ways.

And the USA ruling elites have used and abused the legal system for their own devious, greedy desires.

Back to obeying those sensors at the retail store exit that inform all nearby that you are departing with an item(s) not paid for… STOP THIEF!!!!!

And the complacent, fearful, indoctrinated sheep obey the alarm and meekly await for security to allow them to leave after determining that no stolen goods are present.

Pondering Precariously

Question for the masses:

 

What is the question that has no answer?

Coot Kindred Spirit

The S.H.A.M.E. Media Transparency Project takes the war against corporate trolls and media shills to a new and more effective level. Its goal is to expose corrupt media figures, document journalistic fraud and make life a little harder for covert propagandists who manipulate the public, degrade our democracy and help perpetuate oligarchy power.

S.H.A.M.E. was inspired by our readers and donors, who are tired of the rampant media fraud and deception, and want some way to fight back and reclaim our democracy.

“The purpose of S.H.A.M.E. is not to merely document media crimes, nor simply to humiliate or call out hypocrisy. The project is about providing useful, fun and effective tools the public can use to protect itself from being manipulated by sophisticated public relations con-artistry.

Think of S.H.A.M.E. as a kind of roach trap for media shills and corporate lackeys.

Mitt Romney Begging for Money

Friend,

In a few hours, I’ll take the podium before a Republican Party that has been united and inspired by a common conviction:

We believe in America.

We believe in America, even though the last four years have been full of difficulties and disappointments, doubt and despair.

We believe in America, even though millions of American families are worried about their jobs, their mortgages, their children, and their future.

We believe in America, even though President Obama’s failed policies have left us with record high unemployment, lower take-home pay, and the weakest economy since the Great Depression.

But we also believe that America can do better, because decline is not our destiny.

I commit to you that I will be the president this moment demands.

I ask you to commit like never before — donate $20.12 to support Paul and me and the entire Republican team.

It will be my privilege to stand at the podium to accept the nomination. And I will stand not just for every supporter, and not just for the Republican Party — I’ll stand for every American who believes our best days are ahead.

Thank you,

Mitt Romney

A little boy begging. Disgusting. Mitt Romney, in my opinion you are a putrid PUNK.

USA Federal Government is Beyond Repair

Unrepairable. No meaningful change via voting. The Founders designed the USA federal government to be owned and operated by an elite class.

But the elites of their day were far different than many of today’s elites.

That is why I cry out for folks to cast off some of their life-long indoctrination and realize that you are being spit upon, despised by scum, vermin filth who have created many “systems,” public, private and in-between, that skim a lot of wealth that the common folks of the USA create by their labors.

Perhaps if the brainwashing all of us undergo was replaced with facts, with the reality of the ongoing scams and schemes and the financial raping of the majority of USA citizens maybe angered military officers would band together and commence acting in a manner I believe the Founders would agree with;

a military coup to destroy the unrepairable and start anew.

For your enlightenment and perhaps pleasure the following video assists in explaining one minute aspect of what is wrong with today’s USA.

 

USA Government LIES to YOU. Lies to all of us.

The Dispossessed Majority

Below is a segment of the linked-to essay:

“It is extraordinary that millions of Americans actually believe fervently that it matters whether Romney freak or Obama freak gets elected. If Americans had any sense, they would stay home and not vote. The 1% control the country, and the 99% had just as well own up to it and stay at home. Nothing is going to change because of the ballot box.”

I quiver with effervescent glee when I read the words of another that agree with my written mumblings in past blog entries.

Especially when those others’ opinions are from a valid known source.

“About Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

 Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal. He was columnist for Business Week, Scripps Howard News Service, and Creators Syndicate. He has had many university appointments. His internet columns have attracted a worldwide following.”

Elite-owned media on-line magazine censors the Disgruntled Old Coot

A massive pox upon Atlantic.com for banning my comments upon their Web site.

I despise labels but they can be handy to quickly convey what would require many words to do so otherwise.

In a very broad general manner it is my OPINION that the Atlantic, both magazine and Web site, trends towards the liberal left-wing aspect of categorizing people, institutions, thought processes, etc. within the USA.

I agree with some writings and opinions found on the Atlantic while some of their content riles me.

Nothing right or wrong about that– just another day within Occupied America.

I never used vulgar language in my comments on the Atlantic message boards.

I usually wrote in generalities but did include mentions of my various beliefs about the USA immersed in class war and propaganda systems.

I also disagreed with what I view as various politically correct agendas that are actually harmful to a unified non-divided USA.

The Atlantic does not want well-written comments backed by decades of searching for reality and facts AND a multitude of opinions via a fellow such as I who placed intellectual curiosity far above the oft-seen 24/7 search for entertainment.

It IS your Web site Atlantic.com and you have the right to exclude my written ramblings from your site.

In a way, I thank you for the banning since the act reinforces some of the assertions I post in various blog entries.

Enjoy your, in my opinion, political correctness.

 

Mitt Romney, Fearless Leader (as long as he stays home where it is safe)

On the TV I just heard the Mitt Romney humanoid spew and babble as ALL politicians do.

Disgruntled Old Coot Opinion ™ — The vast majority of federal-level politicians and candidates for those positions…

SUCK!!!

I am too genteel to declare what those vile, putrid, foul, verminous, self-serving, disgusting, lackeys of their wealthy ruling-class masters and corporate USA suck upon.

There are a minute minority of federal politicos who appear to actually consider the wants and needs of the commoners along with those at the upper levels of the socio-economic hierarchy.

Bless them but they are outnumbered and the forces arrayed behind the lackey scum vermin figurehead politicians wield incredible wealth and power.

Thus, We, the People remain enslaved.

The ruling master’s propaganda systems have been incredibly effective in mentally enslaving the masses.

The multitude of citizen-sheep bleat their delight with the huge SCAM they live within.

Okay, back to the Mitt Romney entity.

(Pic is not directly related to Old Coot Coverage but assists in disbursing my belief that Mitt Romney is far-removed in many ways from the masses of mere despised commoners; We, the People)

Evacuate the USA South-west Occupied Heck Hole

Ample reporting about the latest unrest in the Los Angeles area (Link dead. News story about yet another USA Black citizen murdered by a racist illegal alien from Mexico).

I lived there awhile but most of my many decades in California was in the San Joaquin Valley or the east San Francisco Bay area.

Frequently I was an Anglo minority among many Chicanos and others from below the southern border or with ties to one or more of those countries.

Sometimes I was a minority by being a USA citizen. Those were the areas where I had to be extra careful due to the animosity and, at times, hatred held towards Anglos and/or USA citizens.

For your enlightenment an Anglo is a Caucasian and Gringo is a derogatory term for a White person. Of course, the Chicanos can freely use that term with no outcry from the mass media that seems to support the invaders… another “protected species” in the sick, disgusting, failing culture that has been foisted upon We, the People by our ruling masters, their cohorts, minions and lackeys.

Obama and GW Bush are two recent examples of politician figurehead lackeys of the ruling masters and, as required of them, they support the invaders to the severe detriment of We, the People.

Yes, the ongoing invasion is but one example of many proving the federal government is your enemy!!!!

GW (Jorge) Bush stood alongside then-Mexico puke… uhhhhh… president Vicente  Fox and publicly proclaimed that Mexico is the USA’s best friend.

Uhhhh, Jorge… I mean George Bush you once main lackey figurehead scum of the ruling masters and corporate USA… even you, I guess, can awaken from your persistent daze and perform a Web search. If not, maybe one of your hired helpers can find the many sources showing that Mexico encourages their unwanted citizens, the mestizo and Indian populations to cross the border and invade the USA.

Well, the elites of the world and their lackeys assist each other at the expense of the masses of common folks. In other words, spit upon We, the People of every country.

Mexico IS using apartheid tactics on their own people yet the USA politically correct mob is not protesting as they did with South Africa because the mass media and the elite owned and operated propaganda systems have not instructed them to do so.

.

(The above statistics have increased greatly with an estimated possible 20-million invaders across the southern border alone)

.

People!!!!! If you care or if you want to be informed about more than what your masters and their scum lackeys want you to know try a Web search about the vile, putrid cesspool also know as Mexico and learn about the Euro-Spanish elite class and how the masses of citizens are used and abused and how the USA is a dumping ground for Mexico and other countries south of Mexico to rid themselves of undesirables AND the people who may tire of near-slavery and revolt against the ruling masters in their home countries just as the USA military should declare war against our federal government and the systems that enslave We, the People.

I find it sad that the USA is being overrun with cowards who demand rights and privileges from a country they invaded yet do not have the guts (cojones) to fight for their own rights, their own freedom in their home country.

The USA is being invaded by a horde of cowards with their hands out demanding this and that.

.

.

The situation and topic is complicated so I will make this entry simple.

Give the general southwest USA to Mexico.

Then create an impenetrable barrier with the troops we bring back from foreign lands.

.

.

The elite masters will be angry since they are using the invaders and those associating with them to assist in dividing We, the People to further the class war and the obvious-to-me ruling master’s desire for an oligarchy as Mexico and central American countries possess.

Accept that the Reconquista has been successful.

Emotion-laden Subjective Knee-jerk Rhetoric

Hello folks.

Welcome to the bastion of Cootness.

My personal regime inside my bunker located in the middle of my compound that can be so easily invaded by jack-booted thugs either purposefully or accidentally.

For many years I have wandered the Web looking at many types of Web sites.

The message boards covering many topics have been interesting since they allow a shanty-bound bloke to determine what other folks think about the topic(s) a message board thread relates to.

Do I have to cover an aspect of message boards in depth to assuage the sadly illogical, irrational and well-brainwashed masses who will bleat their objections within areas I would expect sane, logical, rational and clear-thinking folks to assume from the get-go?

Though it is “risky” I am assuming that the typical Disgruntled Old Coot Reader ™ is not the typical nearly brain-dead idiotic citizen-sheep infesting a country in the midst of class war that the ruling-class masters are winning.

Thus I will not devote multiple paragraphs covering the many pros and cons regarding message boards and the information, data, opinions ot whatever garnered from reading the boards.

.

Coot Question About Nuclear Exposure

I wonder how many of our elite master class were sent to the Nevada test site to be near a nuclear explosion?

Did any go willingly to show the commoners present that their ruling masters appreciate them and want to be with them to share any possible risk?

The reviled scum commoners brainwashed into serving the ruling masters are there.

But that is okay!!!

Their health and lives are meaningless in the scheme of things.

What is truly important is that the deserving ones, our rulers and masters and those they consider to be important or vital in serving the masters, are kept safe.

As things are is correct and proper and too many citizen-sheep believe that.

Idiotic Missouri Politicians Babbling & Spewing Meaningless Verbal Garbage

Hello you Web wanderers.

Welcome to the Disgruntled Old Coot’s blog created within my humble hovel, a shanty atop the Ozark Plateau surrounded by a huge horde of humans I try to generally avoid due to the inanity and ignorance of so many of those folks.

I admit that I do meet a few folks not brainwashed by the life-long propaganda that We, the People of the USA are inundated with.

Propaganda created by many powerful and wealthy entities within the USA.

The elite ruling class, corporate USA, society in general and other propaganda sources.

It is likely that the vast majority of humans are pummeled by constant indoctrination/brainwashing originating with wealthy and/or powerful ruling masters.

Countries, religious organizations, businesses of all types with the BIG businesses having the wealth to influence a large number of humans and the ability to influence elites and others at the top of the socio-economic pyramid.

I am considerably Disgruntled regarding the human horde that are, in my Never Humble Opinion ™ brainwashed bleating citizen-sheep.

As for you, the Web wanderer who is still reading my diatribe– I believe it is unlikely that you are a mere citizen-sheep.

Congratulations!!!

OBEY!!! OBEY!!! Will YOU be the next to die?

Yet another innocent person lies dead on the floor of his home.

Deputies shoot, kill man after knocking on wrong door

There are many viewpoints regarding incidents of this type.

There are no cut-and-dried declarations I can offer.

Each incident of a murdered innocent varies.

I do wonder about the general mind-set of today’s law enforcement forces.

Looking at the “big picture” of USA society, its cultures and sub-cultures, the economic forces affecting everybody and the ongoing class war and many other aspects of life in the USA I fear that law enforcement in general is being brainwashed just as the entire USA population is indoctrinated via the MANY propaganda outlets used by the ruling-class, corporate USA and other entities with a vested interest to maintain the status quo that sends wealth and power upwards, always upwards to the greedy hands of the masters.

Once the masters have that wealth they use it for their luxurious lifestyles and to create entities to keep them at the top of the socio-economic hierarchy.
