The Inaugural Parade
01.21.05 (2:58 am)   [edit]

The 2005 Coronation of King George the Cowardly.


Well, our national trip down the Rabbithole of Alice in Wonderland was made complete with the Coronation of King George the Cowardly. As I watched the "parade", it was bizarre to say the least. There were vehicles moving in a V formation like the flying phalanx of ancient Sparta...there were Matrix like guys in dark sunglasses and long, black overcoats flanking the "Presidential limo", and at one point, there was a truck that came rolling along that had armed thugs hanging on the side that a friend watching the procession remarked to me, looked like the Mob, much like something you would see from the Al Capone era, when armed thugs would be festooning a vehicle's exterior, with their feet implanted on the running boards of the truck or car.


It looked less like a Presidential inauguration parade (I've never seen one  of them), and more like Hitler's triumph march into Poland or Paris. Actually, if some of the Men in Black had been sporting the traditional silver SS pins or Death's Head pins, the picture would have been complete....all Bushy would need would be a tiny little moustache (but perhaps, he cannot muster enough testosterone to generate one).


In another portion of the program, Hitler...er, uh, BUSHY, was addressing / commanding people from a large white podium, which was reminiscent of something you saw Il Duce (Mussolini) or Hitler do, in old film reels. His Effete Foppishness was. for all the world, an effeminate version of Big Brother re-enacted for all the world to see.


To say that the Inauguration Parade looked like the New World Order in all its "glory" would be to understate the matter.


As the tanks and troops marched down the road, even the commentators on ABC said it looked like something you would see in a Banana republic, at the direction of some dictator. As they say..."TRUE DAT".


Along the parade route, it was teeming with people, held behind great fences which, for some reason, looked like the fences at Auschwitz . And, we saw the police running along the fences, often spraying pepper spray into the eyes of these law abiding citizens whose only crime was exercising their right of free speech.


While our own citizens are starving, and troops don't have what they need, Marie Antoinette...er...Mrs. Bush, was prancing around in a solid white Oscar de la Renta that costs TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. Talk about letting them eat cake and fiddling while Rome burned...surely, their little pageant needs to reserve a rank in the history books as at least as outrageous as these. Estimates of forty to forty four MILLION dollars for this little debacle, are said to be low.


To me, it certainly adds up to a new definition of an obscene waste of money...but of course, the money is from "private" sources, which is the easy way of saying it oozes from the teats of the Pigopolists, each vying for the ability to muzzle in on the treasure trove which will be available to Bushy's toadies.


So, as Alex in Clockwork Orange might say in Nadsat, "Yes my little droogies, even the melodies of the Glorious Ludwig von....were soured by that scene. Bushy is a baddiwad chelloveck!".


During one scene, the "Presidential Limo" rolled through a tremendous cloud of smoke/fog, coming from a heating vent or something in the road. As it emerged eerily from the grey cloud, it looked like Dracula tooling around Transylvania, with his black coated, black sunglassed Familiars in attendance.


And so, the New Nightmare Begins.

ANTI-BUSH ECONOMIC BOYCOTT FOR JAN 20
01.15.05 (5:04 am)   [edit]
"Washington, DC, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- An anti-Bush protest urging no American spend any money on Jan. 20, Inauguration Day, is making the rounds on the Internet, USA Today reported Thursday. "
 ============SNIP=== ===============
 Codewarriorz endorses the economic boycott planned for January 2oth. We will personally be avoiding the spending of money on that date to show our opposition and disdain for this corrupt administration, and for the lack of full disclosure of voting irregularities during the last election.
 
US DEFICIT GETS CRITICAL..BUSHY CONTINUES TO LIE
01.13.05 (2:04 am)   [edit]

As Bushy continues to lie and say the economy is doing great....more lies....see below....

Plea by Snow as US deficit hits monthly record





JOHN SNOW, the US Treasury Secretary, last night renewed demands for Europe and Japan to boost growth to ease global economic imbalances after America’s trade gap surged to a monthly record of $60 billion (£32 billion) in November.

A slump in US exports, blamed on weak demand in key trading partners, combined with a sharp rise in America’s oil imports to trigger the surprise jump in the trade deficit. Wall Street analysts had expected it to decline to $54 billion.

The much worse than predicted figures sparked a renewed assault on the dollar on foreign exchanges, sending the US currency tumbling against the yen and the euro.

The dollar’s losses pushed the euro up more than 1 per cent to levels around $1.3292. The pound gained more than a cent and a half to close in London at $1.8932.

Mr Snow blamed the latest jump in the trade deficit on the relative strength of US growth compared with a disappointing performance by the eurozone and Japan. He said: “We are growing faster than our trading partners and we are creating more disposable income than they are. We need Europe to be more of an engine of growth and we need Japan to be more of an engine of growth.”

The Treasury Secretary made clear that he would use next month’s London meeting of finance ministers from the Group of Seven leading industrial economies to step up pressure on the governments of Japan and the eurozone to act to bolster their performance.

The weakness of overseas demand for US goods was underlined by the 2.3 per cent drop in American exports in November, which affected most categories of products. Shipments of industrial supplies and materials, such as plastics and chemicals, were particularly badly affected, while exports of capital goods tumbled by 5.1 per cent.

The deficit was also exacerbated by a 1.3 per cent rise in imports driven mainly by increased US demand for crude oil from abroad, despite cheaper world oil prices. US consumer demand for household products and other goods also helped to boost imports.

Strong demand for advanced technology saw the US deficit on trade in these goods widen to a record $5.8 billion.

Analysts said that the November data left the US firmly on course to register a record trade gap for the year, with the deficit in the fourth quarter set to climb above 6 per cent of GDP for the first time, after a figure of 5.6 per cent in the previous three months.

The US trade shortfall for the first 11 months of last year already totals $561.3 billion — well above the record $496.5 billion set for 2003 as a whole.

Paul Ashworth, of Capital Economics, said that although the dollar’s slide over the past three years had so far failed to boost US exports and cut the deficit, eventually this would happen.

However, he said that “unfortunately, the damage has already been done” to US economic performance, with trade set to subtract 1.5 percentage points from annualised American growth in the fourth quarter. This is now set to come in at about 3 per cent.
