⏰ Back to where we never left with vote supression & stuff... Just a hint : Before you export democracy, try having it at home !
"If voting could change the system, it would be illegal." - Theodore Adorno I originally thought that quote was soooo cynic (yes I once was an yank idealist ;) but as Greg Palast has been proving all along, the violation of voting rights is a sad American reality only equaled by a quote by this Karl Rove precursor... "It's quite enough that people know that an election was held. People who vote decide of nothing. People who count the vote decide everything ! - Joseph Staline
The two parties are really one party representing four percent of the people" - Gore Vidal
" People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction, and anyone who insists on remaining in a state of innocence long after that innocence is dead turns himself into a monster."- James Baldwin

"Our only political party has two right wings, one called Republican, the other Democratic. But Henry Adams figured all that out back in the 1890s. 'We have a single system,' he wrote, and 'in that system the only question is the price at which the proletariat is to be bought and sold, the bread and circuses.'" :
- Gore Vidal - The Decline and Fall of the American Empire
The American empire has not altered under Barack Obama. It kills as brutally and indiscriminately in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan as it did under George W. Bush. It steals from the U.S. treasury to enrich the corporate elite as rapaciously. It will not give us universal health care, abolish the Bush secrecy laws, end torture or extraordinary rendition, restore habeas corpus or halt the warrantless wiretapping and monitoring of citizens. It will not push through significant environmental reform, regulate Wall Street or end our relationship with private contractors that provide mercenary armies to fight our imperial wars and produce useless and costly weapons systems. - Chris Hedges

Context : In 2012, under the ‘carré rouge’ moniker, students spearheaded a remarkable anti-government movement that spread across Quebec to become a real popular uprising until it was repressed in state violence. Anarchopanda was a mascot of this rebellion... https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchopanda

En juillet 2020, Julien Villeneuve (Anarchopanda) est visé par un témoignage anonyme lors d'une vague de dénonciations d'allégations d'inconduite ou d’agression sexuelle visant des personnalités publiques.

Merci Mindfuck Inc. on ne pourrait compter sur une nation d'idiots du village médiatique sans les bons & diligents soins d'oligarques non élus qui contrôlent le flux d'information et utilisent ce pouvoir à leur propre avantage.
''Des médias cyniques, mercenaires et démagogiques produiront avec le temps un peuple aussi minable qu'eux !'' - Joseph Pulitzer
«Quand une population devient distraite par le trivial, quand la vie culturelle est redéfinie comme un cercle perpétuel de divertissements, quand les sérieux débats publics deviennent une forme de babillage, quand, en un mot, un peuple est devenu un auditoire, et leurs affaires publiques un vaudeville, une nation se trouve en danger, la mort de cette culture devient une grandissante possibilité ". - Neil Postman, Se distraire à la mort: le discours public à l'ère du show-business

Sub-Prime Crime : An Economic 9-11 ?
Just like 9-11 changed everything, the subprime crime spree created havoc on the economy & keep on giving. After the illegal push for subprime deals Spitzer tried to halt, Wall Street upped the ante & sold these fraudulent turds for triple A gold investment to the unspected international finance community causing a worldwide catastrophe.
As with the horrifying 8 years of abuse inflicted on America by the crime cartel we so-called the Bush executive branch, some brave souls tried to warn us to no avail.
This is the story of some of those patriots who where mostly ignored, ridiculed or got their ass served by the GOPs Rove bots army.
And to show them our eternal gratitude, we will, although under the gun & placed in front of a 'fait accompli', we are giving them the rest of our money & our children's & future generations too
BRAVO !
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not traitor, he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared." - Cicero, 42 B.C.

THE GREATEST THEFT IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANKIND
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power of money should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." -- President Thomas Jefferson
"It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." - Henry Ford
A banker is a man who loans you umbrellas when the sun is shining and demands it back the moment it looks like rain." - Mark Twain
"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies." - Groucho Marx

"If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged." - Noam Chomsky
Over 1 million people slaughtered yet, Cheney says Iraq invasion was "successful endeavour" * U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday declared the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq a "successful endeavour" during a visit to Baghdad, on the same day a woman suicide bomber killed 40 people.
GENERAL ACCUSES BUSH ADMIN OF WAR CRIMES * Major General Anthony Taguba concluded that "numerous incidents of sadistic, blatant, and wanton criminal abuses were inflicted on several detainees." He called the abuse "systemic and illegal." And, as Seymour M. Hersh reported in the New Yorker, he was rewarded for his honesty by being forced into retirement.

"Those who give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Ben Franklin
"The ordinary man is passive. Within a narrow circle, home life, and perhaps the trade unions or local politics, he feels himself master of his fate. But otherwise he simply lies down and lets things happen to him." & "If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."- George Orwell
"Politics is the entertainment branch of industry." - Frank Zappa
You can call it the privatization of the FBI -- though it is better described as the creation of a private KGB.
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous" - Carl Sagan
