Lucky Friday miscellany
1) The Perils of Barack and Michelle; 2) Jail time for Stephane? 3) Harper's Remorse wins Oscar - NOT; 4) Senators in on the (neo)con?  5) Articles of Impeachment finally read; 6) Mad Max and Julie: the plot thins; 7) The coming Revolution.

1) The Perils of Barack and Michelle

New website: "Fights and Smears" - has one purpose, countering all the lies told about Michelle and Barack Obama.  Well, two purposes, probably.  Electioneering comes to mind.

Maybe somebody is afraid they might actually become president and first lady. You think?

==========================

2) Jail time for Stephane?

This will give you some idea of how backlogged I can get with my emails.  I've been meaning to post this video link since noon on the 10th.  The text that accompanied the link cracked me up:
.....the longer the JNF Tax Fraud goes on, the larger the circle of complicit government officials and the longer the jail time

.....justice now or justice later

.....the jails will still be open
(Thanks to Ron of Montreal Planet Magazine.)

Libcons and Allcons beware.  One day somebody will have to apologize for your crimes against Canada in favour of a foreign country.  And some of you, with any luck, will have served time for acts of treason - in your privatized prisons, so you'd better build nice ones.

Boycott Apartheid

====================

3) Harper's Remorse wins Oscar - NOT

Like most apologies (full text CTV), Harper's now famous apology to Canada's First Nations is far from a cure-all, and while he used a lot of the right words, it was clear to me they were not his words and quite possibly not his sentiments, judging by the robotic way in which he recited them.  Did he think that First Nations people wouldn't see that as well?
Garnet Dodge: "The look in their eyes . . . doesn't really make me feel they are sorry." (Chatham Daily News)

Yes, and did you see the goons sitting behind him with their dopey expressions barely disguising their schoolboy excitement over this latest foxy move on the part of their leader.  I guess they still don't know that some wrongs are too big to be removed with words.

They'll learn.

===========================

4) Senators in on the (neo)con?

The Senate must not have seen the lame apology, because they still think words do make a difference.  Now they're saying that ...
 " ... Mr. Harper should go on national television for 20 minutes to speak directly to Canadians about the war" and explain to them why we can't get out by the forecasted 2011.
National Post: Mr. Kenny said that if Canadians could be shown measurable progress they would be more willing to allow their troops to stay longer in Afghanistan. Earlier this week, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said he expected western troops will be needed in his country for another 10 years.
But there's the rub, eh?  Canadians can't be shown measurable progress because if it existed we would have had it plastered all over our TV screens every day.  Surely the good Senators know that.  So they're in on the con, right?

Yeah, 20 minutes oughta fix it, allright.

============================


5) Articles of Impeachment finally read

Here's an article and a video of Dennis Kucinich reading the articles of impeachment of Bush and Cheney.  He was a bit more believable, and the American people are much heartened by it. Cindy Sheehan is beside herself with approval of Kucinich and is challenging Ron Paul to cross the floor to the Democrat side.

I think he's happy where he is.

============================

6) Mad Max and Julie: the plot thins

Why can the Toronto Star still not name the pimp who introduced Julie and Max?  Just who were these "acquaintances" of his? They're hammering all around it, but just not hitting the nail:
Couillard was brought to a dinner gathering, held in Bernier's honour in April of last year, by a colleague from a property development firm with which she had recently become affiliated, sources say...The investigation has confirmed Morin brought Couillard along to a weekly dinner held by a handful of young Montreal businesspeople, and that Bernier's acquaintances among the group intended to introduce the minister, a bachelor, to the one-time actress and model.
In Bernier's honour?  Was it his birthday?  Did he do something earth shaking and altruistic?  Or was it the standard practice of setting a politician up with a woman in exchange for an inside track into government contracts?

This goes on all the time, and should be dealt with firmly when discovered, but what people should be jumping up and down about is the fact that the RCMP, our great intelligence experts, our protectors of the status quo, were either simply not on their toes when they failed to alert the government about Couillard's background and Bernier's involvement with this sleazy crowd (I couldn't care less how upscale the restaurant where they dined is reputed to be!), or else Couillard is their employee more than Kevlar's, and they are up to no good themselves.

The Star reports that the RCMP did indeed know Couillard very well before she struck up with Bernier.  But the Liberals are steering clear of any insinuation against them.
Canadian Press: The Liberals are citing security experts who say the affair has all the outward appearances of a planned infiltration of the government by criminal elements.
Meaning, of course, Mafiosa and/or Angels, but considering the criminal elements that have been shown to exist inside the police forces and in government it's hard to know where one begins and the others end.

This is how US politicians are kept in line, of course. That's why the blurring of lines between the polticial parties, and why the "yes" votes on insane, fascist measures under the guise of fighting "terror" or poverty, or disease.  Dirt is dug up on them, or they are tricked into getting dirty, and the information is stored against the time when they might consider actually representing the people.

If Mad Max is right, that his riding still supports him, then they're all drugged by chemtrails and are on their way to hell in a large handbasket.  Maybe he's just in denial.  After all, he has been under emotional stress lately, poor darlin'.  His Ma should have warned him about bad girls and boys.  Or was he the kind of kid other moms warned their sons about?  Maybe there's good reason he doesn't like to discuss his "private" life.

=========================

7) The coming Revolution

If enough Americans have clued in, the following YouTube video announcement may turn out to mean something:
4th July - NEW WORLD ORDER Revolution
