Forget Nostradamus: Carlin Foretold Today’s State of our UNION

Forget Nostradamus: George Carlin foretold today’s state of our UNION (or America’s ruin as the case may be) before his death in 2008. The video below says it all. Though Carlin always made us laugh - the content of this monologue is scary in how dead on truthful it is.

US News - Politics this week went one step further when they named names of some of the “Owners of America” Carlin refers to in his TRUE to LIFE stand-up routine depicted in the video.

Brad Bannon’s commentary:
Conservative Attacks on Medicaid, Jobless Benefits Lead America to Ruin
makes the case Americans are victims of a vast right-wing conspiracy led and funded by the billionaire Koch brothers.

The article explains:

Republicans and their Tea Party allies are working on two important campaigns in Washington, D.C. and in state capitals around the country. The conservative goals are to rip the economic safety net wide open and pave the way for their friends in big business to dominate political campaigns.

On the economic front the right-wing two-pronged attack is on Medicaid in D.C. and jobless benefits in the states.

In Michigan which has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, the GOP has succeeded in cutting jobless benefits by six weeks. The conservatives in Missouri (and several other states) are also trying to limit unemployment benefits. Meanwhile in Washington, the right wing wants to cut funding for Medicaid. About half of all Medicaid recipients are children. [See who donates the most to your member of Congress.]

Of course these attacks on children, the unemployed and the disabled don’t stop the Tea Party from giving billionaires and banks big tax breaks. The message from the GOP on both fronts is if you’re hurting, you’re out of luck. If you’re rich and powerful we will pay any price to help you out.

I think you know my position on America’s Clown Congress. There is only one or two there worth a grain of salt. However, the collective of elected idiots in Washington DC is simply the distraction for the people to allow the Wealthy owners of America to perform their “Slight of Hand” magicians tricks that eventually will turn this country into 2 classes only: The obedient Worker Bees and the tyrant, Megalomaniac Masters of wealth who happily oppress them ( them being the worker bees).

The unemployed - ESPECIALLY the UI exhaustees have been banished from the economy and the American dream. We have become relegated to the ranks of the invisible and forced to believe we must endure this abominable fate that has been forced upon us or beg for what little scraps of hope Washington tosses out to us then snaps back with unimaginable cruelty.

How is that working out for ya? Have you had enough? Then it is time we all become the exact opposite of invisible. We MUST become EXTREMELY VISIBLE and FAST. It is not very difficult to and it may require more courage than you have shown in a great while, but what have you got to lose? If you are like most of us - you already have nothing left - except your desire and instinct to survive.

• Get out in the streets, even if there is only 1 or 2 of you with signs (home made or contact U-Cubed for the “Hire US America” signs free for the asking). Find a busy street corner or overpass and stay there 90 minutes. Call the media. Make your plight known.

• If your group of scouts or PTA is looking for a project - suggest they have a fund raiser to HELP the 99ers. Create care packages and give them out or contact www.Helpthe99ers.com to find those in the greatest need.

• Go to where ever any local, state or federal politician may be speaking or cutting a ribbon and bring your signs. Chant “US Unemployed NEED JOBS & Benefits.” Interrupt their press conferences (Politely) by doing the same. You will not be arrested - perhaps escorted out or asked to leave but we all need to STOP being afraid. Fear is paralyzing and not the emotion which propels one to victory. Where is your American Spirit?

One sure fire winning tactic and the fastest way for the 99ers to get Washington to enact benefits for our survival NOW is to create massive unrest in our own streets. I am not talking violent overthrow here - I am speaking POWERFUL massive protests in every town and city in the USA. The WORLD will be watching and the MEDIA will NOT be able to ignore it! When the Markets begin rapidly dropping Globally and the dollar tanks - we WILL get their attention and they will cave in I assure you!

JUST One Week of MASSIVE protests in the streets of America would have such a terrible effect on Wall Street that the BIG BANKERS will call their employees (i.e. Congress) immediately to DEMAND they give us what we need NOW so they can stop bleeding money!

They have been making us hurt for years and have ignored our suffering. It is our turn to hurt them back the only way we can - FINANCIALLY! The wealthy scoundrels continue to be so brazen about their corruption and shenanigans because Americans have proved over and over again they will do nothing to stop these Wall Street miscreants and Washington will NEVER bite the hands feeding them (unless it is the tax payer’s hands that is).

Do not believe the lie these monsters that control the media have drummed into you about “there is nothing you can do to change how bad things are” because YOU CAN. That is what Carlin gets wrong in the video. He lost touch with his humble 60’s beginnings, when he too protested against the War of that era.

What we need is an all out revolution of conscience by those in America who still have one - and that is NOT the talking heads in Washington, the greedy Wealth Barons or Captains of Industry who are stealing our lives out from under us. It is YOU who must make this happen.

The sooner you take to the streets in mass (or even alone if you must), the sooner we will get what we need. STOP BEGGING and START DEMANDING Washington work for US and not every other country which can help the rich get richer by lucrative Defense Contracts. Enough is enough. But have you had enough?
