The ugly Americans

OK, I'm not gonna laugh at you, because I recollect that just a little while back I thought you were in Texas.

I'm an Indian, Eagle. Specifically Shawnee. As in non-white. As in redskin, prairie ******, blanket-***, savage.

Since thsi is a Canadian site, you are actually ' Aboriginal first Nations.
A Brief primer on the differnece:

Aboriginal or indigenous person would be more correct in Canada, First Nation is a governmental term with no legal standing in international law which is one way the Canadian government has tried to take away their power, to make them non-legal entities. It muddies the waters and confuses the issues. I personally use Indian, as opposed to East Indian, most of the time because my aboriginal friends prefer the term. I also know many who would prefer aboriginal or indigenous and some may like first nations but I think that term is quickly falling out of favour as people realize the fallacy and non-legality of it.

You have yet to explain your recent novel theory that the Inca directly affected the conquest of North America, Mr' First nations expert on all over the --map--

Say what? What in the world are you going about? Please... do point me to the place where I said this theory?

"You have yet to explain your recent novel theory that the Inca directly affected the conquest of North America"- Where did I say this?

So this is imaginary and you're still smarting from the beating you took in that thread by me. A complete thrashing it was.

Information is power


NOW YOU CAN AVOID buying stuff from companies controlled by fascists like Nestlé or the Koch brothers. Once you’ve scanned an item, Buycott will show you its corporate family tree on your phone screen. Scan a box of Splenda sweetener, for instance, and you’ll see its parent, McNeil Nutritionals, is a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson.

Even more impressively, you can join user-created campaigns to boycott business practices that violate your principles rather than single companies.

"You can scan the barcode on any product and the free app will trace its ownership all the way to its top corporate parent company, including conglomerates like Koch Industries."

Want a mutual boycott? We could hurt you guys real bad. I mean real bad.

That the US does. And when strife or disaster hits everyone looks to the US for answers or help.

Do you have nay figures on that, from what I recall US foreign aid declined dramatically in recent decades.

I was thinking of stuff that didn't kill people, keeping the whole international warfare thing going doesn't seem like aid to me.

Republican healthcare deception funded by the Koch brothers are about to begin.

This makes it clear that Republicans have no real interest in the health and fiscal well-being of middle class Americans. Why else would they lie about the benefits of Obamacare when much of Obamacare implements a market based system originally proposed by the Conservative Heritage Foundation.


Though many of its rules will not take effect for months, President Obama’s health care law is already the subject of an aggressive advertising campaign by Republicans to sow doubts about how it will work.

In one of the largest campaigns of its kind, Americans for Prosperity, a conservative advocacy group financed by Charles and David Koch, will begin running television commercials this week asserting that the law will limit Americans’ health care choices.

It's awful that people will here more than one opinion on the obamacare law.

 

[EagleSmack]

You mean the Health Care Law that cannot even be implemented? Or won't be implemented until after the mid-term elections? I wonder why that is?

If it hasn't it should. Why spend billions on foreigners when they can't get their own house in order and are completely broke to the point they can only pay their employees by borrowing money with the promise their great-grandchildren will pay back.

Group Linked to Kochs Admits to Campaign Finance Violations




A secretive nonprofit group with ties to the billionaire conservative businessmen Charles and David Koch admitted to improperly failing to disclose more than $15 million in contributions it funneled into state referendum battles in California, state officials there announced Thursday.

The settlement, announced by Attorney General Kamala D. Harris of California and the Fair Political Practices Commission, which enforce California’s campaign finance laws, includes one of the largest penalties ever assessed on a political group for failing to disclose donations. The center and another Arizona group involved in the transactions, Americans for Responsible Leadership, will pay a $1 million fine, while two California groups must turn over $15 million in contributions they received.

Together, the groups are part of an intricate, interlocking network of political nonprofits that have taken on a prominent role in state and national politics in recent years, bolstered by legal and regulatory shifts, including the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision in 2010.

Records and documents uncovered during the California investigation provide a rare glimpse into how such groups closely coordinate transfers of money that mask the sources of the contributions and skirt state and federal disclosure rules.

“This case highlights the nationwide scourge of dark money nonprofit networks hiding the identities of their contributors,” Ann Ravel, the commission’s chairwoman, said in a statement.

No. the Banksters are supporting her and they know how to get around direct payments............



Okay, Hillary! Thanks for the warning!


Former Secretary of State, and presumed 2016 presidential hopeful, Hillary Clinton spoke at two separate Goldman Sachs events in the past week (on October 24, and then again on October 29), for a cool $200,000 per speech, her normal fee according to Politico and the New York Times. $400,000—not a bad payday for the former First Lady.

Hillary Clinton Rakes in Big Money from Two Goldman Sachs Speeches in One Week | Alternet



The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it's everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.

In fact, the history of the recent financial crisis, which doubles as a history of the rapid decline and fall of the suddenly swindled dry American empire, reads like a Who's Who of Goldman Sachs graduates.

That's my point, why are some Americans all bent out of shape.

Obtaining an ID can be difficult for voters who lack transportation, specifically the poor, elderly and disabled. In rural USA that is a task and a half. Not to mention full time employees that make minimum wage, should they be expected to take a day off to get an ID? In addition, women who have changed their name after marriage or divorce may run into difficulties or be discouraged from voting because they need to get an ID.

The overall point is not to discourage.

​

It actually helps prevent voter fraud.

The cases of voter fraud because of no ID are extremely rare to non existent.

Why is it that's seen as undemocratic, unless you're an idiot.

It's not seen as undemocratic, it's seen as a waste of time and giving government more information than they need to know.
