Wisconsin's Recall Election & Americans for Prosperity's Absentee Ballot Typos - The Koch brothers-funded Americans for Prosperity PAC sends absentee ballot applications with minor inaccuracies to Wisconsin's Democratic districts.

News Reports:

Wisconsin Dems file complaint over ‘Koch brothers-funded scheme to suppress votes’  The Democratic Party of Wisconsin filed a complaint on Tuesday seeking to stop what it called a Koch brothers-funded scheme to suppress Democratic votes in upcoming Republican recall elections.

Politico reported that Americans for Prosperity sent absentee ballots to Democrats in two Wisconsin state Senate recall districts with instructions that could render the votes ineligible.

Ballots must be received by August 9 to be counted, but the instructions say to return the paperwork two days later, by August 11.

More about the Koch Brothers:

The conservative billionaire duo's Americans for Prosperity nonprofit has spent $700,000 on ads supporting the governor's record  as the recall effort against him gains steam.  Last year, they were reportedly behind Walker  in his showdown with unions over the state budget.

During Vice President Dick Cheney's tenure as its chief executive, the Halliburton Corporation altered its accounting policies so it could report as revenue more than $100 million in disputed costs on big construction projects, public filings by the company show. Halliburton did not disclose the change to investors for over a year.

Vice President Dick Cheney’s stock options in Halliburton rose from $241,498 in 2004 to over $8 million in 2005, an increase of more than 3,000 percent, as Halliburton continues to rake in billions of dollars from no-bid/no-audit government contracts.

Violent Rhetoric In The US Is Common BUT Often STARTED By The War Party {2 Late 2 Stop It Now}

The media consistently treats Ron Paul like 'he's the thirteenth floor in a hotel', yet he is the one that planted the grassroots that the establishment republicans are benefiting from now. Why is that?:

Watch the first 50 seconds of the following video and you will notice that one particular person (Ron Paul) is ignored even though he came within 200 votes of winning the straw poll... 

Media basically goes through two types of phases - the goal of both is to make money (first version of this published here and second here):

Type 1 - Easily Distracted

Easily distracted like the dog in UP.

The media really does act like the dog in UP!

Squirrel!


Type 2 - Manufacturing Conflict to Attract & Keep Viewers

Because of a 24 hr news cycle one of the problems is that conflict MUST be manufactured to keep viewers.

Media manufactured 'race card' scandal creation. (They can also go the other way and make a racial case seem non-racial)

An Example of "Manufactured News": The Chris Christie said no but the media was bored so created his candidacy.

Chris Christie's media manufactured candidacy had gone on for a while.

The Rock Block
Cable news networks seem to think their viewers need a hot, thumping beat to absorb basic information.  (04:21): 

By starting off with rocking beats the news media is trying to attract viewers no matter what the cost in bad taste:

When you hear stuff like "rockin news" or the type of music being played you expect something allot more exciting than news stories that are serious with music set to it. This way it seems more like the media is celebrating people's misery. Anything to make a buck. Basically they are saying: Hey, if AXN can attract people with cop chases then we can too. Forget about appropriateness. Or as John Oliver puts it

... that cacophonous noise can help people process information... well, let me put it this way: You've sucked the fun out of rock and the weight out of news.

All News In Fox News, MSNBC & CNN Is scripted & often coordinated:

All the news is scripted and the anchors are often required JUST to read what they are told to.

A situation where the script catches a script reader by surprise.

Moment of Zen - Bernie Goldberg Calls Jon a Racist: Fox News contributor, Bernie Goldberg, calls Jon a racist, but not because he believes it.


Fox News Is Run My Rupert Murdoch ... who manages to stay out of scrutiny of all three channels (Fox News, MSNBC & CNN) despite the extraordinary amount of news about him in the UK. Though if the story is too big to ignore then it will get a short play time on air and is removed. Like the recent Rupert Murdoch scandal which seemed to disapear before it even broke.

On Topic - Cable News - Fox News: The O'Reilly Factor, Fox & Friends and Glenn Beck are just a few of the programs Jon has to thank for keeping him in business.

Horrible Bosses - Fox News Won't Dumpster Dive: Instead of wasting its time with the epic scandal consuming Britain's journalistic establishment, Fox News investigates whether NPR is an agent of jihadist inquisition.


MSNBC is right next door to Fox News. Fox News & MSNBC BOTH qualify as "lamesstream media", especially when you realize that even Obama says NBC is not fully truthful. 

On Topic - Cable News - MSNBCJon explores the horrible segues, questionable guests and mediocre stories that make MSNBC almost unwatchable.

Moment of Zen - Underwear and LattesMSNBC reports on what underwear and lattes tell America about the economy.


CNN is just horrible with occasional flashes of news that rarely lasts longer than the light of a firely.

On Topic - Cable News - CNN:Terrible segments, inappropriate stock footage and anchors who don't want to be there are a few reasons why CNN can't connect with viewers.

Moment of Zen - CNN's Choose the News: CNN viewers decide by text message which news stories they want to see in detail.


Nobody watches C-Span. Not even the media (whose job it's supposed to be).

On Topic - Cable News - C-SPAN: Putting people to sleep and tightening viewers' anuses are just some of the ways C-SPAN distinguishes itself

NOTE: US Media is interconnected either directly through friendship and shills or indirectly through advertising/board-members to the GOP and thus follows it's wishes. If it didn'tthis electoral fraud cover-up by the GOP could never have been accomplished. Havinga voice on the left to get people to hate Ron Paul also helped allot. I remember cause I was there. Here rather. But it's gone. So nevermind.

BTW, the global warming this is probably spread by the Koch Brother Libertarians as CATO (following video) & Heritage are founded by the Koch Brothers:

CATO: Is A Koch Brother Funded Institute. If you listen To Cato OR Heritage then you are a "Koch Brother Libertarian".


"The Koch Brothers"

"The Koch Brothers are worth $50 billion. They’ve bankrolled the Tea Party, the campaign against climate change science, and entire university departments to advance their right-wing agenda. The newest item on their shopping list: their own Center for American Progress."

Republicans Attempt to Ax Program Monitoring CarcinogensThe National Toxicology Program, part of the National Institutes of Health, publishes the biannual Report on Carcinogens, which is one of the primary sources of up-to-date public information about chemicals that are known or suspected causes of cancer. The report has been published since 1980, in response to a directive from Congress. But if Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.) gets his way, soon we might lose this detailed information about the chemicals putting us at risk.


Heritage is also a Koch created and funded institute:

Connections:1. "Before joining Heritage in June 2007, Loris was an associate at the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation, immersing himself for a year in a market-based management program."  ,2. "Total Koch foundation grants 1997-2009: $3,976,571"3. Sourcewatch: A list of Koch Funded Orgs

Then there are the lies about the Keystone pipeline. It doesn't create long term jobs. It will create fuel over 2 decades. It will cause earthquakes as well. The Koch Brothers have enough money to survive earthquakes and tsunamis. Most of the rest of the population doesn't. Amnesties/Tax-Breaks/help for the rich and death for common Citizens is another aspect of "Corporatism".

Koch company declared 'substantial interest' in Keystone XL pipeline: Document filed with Canada's Energy Board appears to cast doubt on claims by Koch Industries that it has no interest in the controversial pipeline.


BLOG POST: The Koch Brothers ARE Waging War On Obama & US Citizens!


GOP's radioactive anti-Obama rhetoric

(CNN) -- The debates this presidential primary season have been less like Lincoln-Douglas than former heavyweight champ Buster Douglas -- punch-drunk pugilism, providing entertainment and some great upsets along the way.
But for all the excitement of the fights, there is a civic cost to the radioactive rhetoric that gets thrown out to excite the conservative crowds.

It's not just that the most irresponsible candidates can play to the base and get a boost in the polls, while more sober-minded candidates like Jon Huntsman fail to get attention. The real damage is to the process of running for president itself. Because when low blows get rewarded, the incentive to try to emulate Lincoln -- holding yourself to a higher standard -- is diminished. And one barometer of this atmospheric shift is in the increasingly overheated rhetoric by candidates attacking the current president. This serial disrespect ends up unintentionally diminishing the office of president itself.

Look, I know that politics is a full-contact sport: Elbows get thrown and egos get bruised. But ask yourself if Ronald Reagan ever called Jimmy Carter a socialist or a communist on the stump. Sure, there were deep philosophical and policy disagreements between them, and Carter was called a failed president many times. But there was a lingering respect for the office that retained an essential bit of dignity. It was only the far-right fringe who indulged in the kind of rhetoric we now hear routinely from presidential candidates.

GOP-Republican: The Southern Strategy

The Southern Strategy is the policy of the Republican Party in the United States to gain political support in the Southern section of the country. Politically, the concept generally uses themes traditionally supported by residents of the Southern states to win election in those locations. Since segregation continued well into the late 20th century in the region, the Republican Party officially attempted to utilize this wedge issue as a way of garnering support for their political faction in these states. In addition to the issue of segregation between white residents and African Americans, the party also utilized Southern values of religion, gun control and a distrust of counterculture to win votes.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the Republican Party generally opposed desegregation and the Civil Rights Movement. This stance caused a major shift in the voting practices of the African American community to the support of the Democratic Party, the faction which helped legislate laws such as the Voting Rights Act. Party officials, specifically President Richard Nixon's political strategist Kevin Phillips, understood that in order for the Republicans to win the Southern states, they needed to focus their attention on the Caucasian population.

The implementation of the Southern Strategy by the Republican Party represented a major shift in political power in the region. Since the Civil War, the Democratic Party was the primary force in the South due to its support of the region during Reconstruction. In addition, the Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln was seen as the primary instigator of the war by most Southern residents. Between the 1950s and the early 1980s, the South shifted to major support for the Republicans. At the same time, much of the North and the West became a major supporter of Democrats.

In other words, the establishment Republicans (i.e Newt, Mitt, Santorum - those following standard party policy) are using the natural racism of the South (see background above) to get votes. This racism has been fanned by the GOP and Fox News to a point where it has become extremely toxic.

About The South...

Innocent killed for crimes, especially if they are of a minority person, is normal in the Southern United States of America. The top leadership has no shame and the same morality as feudal lords who rape their slaves for fun and profit(i.e. extra slave labor . Hell, they even made that thier party platform. Only a Southerner Feudal Lord Party (In this case Arizona, whoes Republican candidate turned out to be an actual Nazi!) could possibly have the balls, in today's modern world, to actually protect rapist babies before they are even conceived  AND literally put it on the Party Platform ... and then shut-up so the women wouldn't find out!


1. "Graves' brother, Arthur Curry Jr., has always insisted that Graves was home with him the night of the murders. "There is no justice, especially here in Texas. Had he done that and I knew it, I could not have hid the truth knowing that someone's family was in torture," says Curry. Graves has not been given an execution date. His lawyer is seeking a new trial."

2. "The Death Penalty Information Center keeps an "Innocence List" which names incarcerated people who have been exonerated since 1973. There are 119 to date. The criteria for inclusion on the list are: "In order to be included on the list, defendants must have been convicted and sentenced to death, and subsequently either: a) their conviction was overturned and they were acquitted at a re-trial, or all charges were dismissed; or b) they were given an absolute pardon by the governor based on new evidence of innocence." 

Famous Speeches From Movies: To Kill a Mockingbird.

Notice that To Kill A Mocking Bird is a fiction book ABOUT the South well AFTER the civil war. Notice where the black people are. In the deep South the fear of the black man (from old white women) STILL exists. Seeing blacks as lower than them to a point where there is no shame in calling people 'other black' and 'our blacks' ('our blacks', I think, was famously used by Ann Coulter). To Kill A Mocking Bird is a MUST READ to understand the South, for outsiders.

Excellent example of Southern "Justice" (NON-Fiction):

“Anatomy of Injustice”: Death in a small town
Note: In To Kill A Mocking Bird, at the end, the all-white jury ruled to have the black guy killed. Notice Mitt Romney's strategy is to blame everything on the black guy EXACTLY like To Kill A Mocking Bird... with an almost all white male election base which is so outdated they have resorted to election fraud rather than be compassionate.

There was even a book by John Grisham covering this Southern Tradition in his own way in A Time To Kill

Interesting fact: Many members of the Nazi's found a home in the confederate South. We know very little of their activities as many were weapons scientists in Germany and since WW2 the United States has something called a "National Security Act/Bill". Whose sole purpose seems to be to increase militarism.

Outrageous: Ammo Maker Selling Pork-Coated Bullets to Fight Muslims

Jihawg Ammunition, based in Dalton Gardens, Idaho, has recently begun selling bullets laced with a pork coating, promising “patriot” gun owners that the bullets “will strike fear into the hearts of those bent upon hate, violence and murder.”

Consumption of pork is forbidden in Islam. The idea behind the bullets is that a Muslim hit by them would be desecrated and unable to go to heaven.

This isn’t the first time Hatewatch has heard claims of pork-coated bullets from Muslim-bashing profiteers. In May 2011, we reported on a company called Silver Bullet Gun Oil, which said it had produced for sale a gun oil laced with pork fat. In that case, the creator openly affirmed the offensiveness of his product. “It is designed as an affront to an entire belief structure,” the business owner told Hatewatch at the time.

A request to Jihawg Ammunition for comment today was not immediately answered.
