In the early 70's Richard Nixon took US Currency off the gold standard. What's the gold standard?? It was when all of our currency was backed by gold by our govt. I ask what is it backed by now ?? Answer NOTHING, but "in god we trust". This leads to a point I wish to make.
In the good ole caveman days, when there was no such thing as money, what did mankind do to survive, take care of it's own, overcome catastrophies, and advance technology? Answer: what ever they had to do as a village to solve whatever problems they faced. There was no class system, mega-rich, or massive corporations. Government was established to cooridinate protect and to SERVE the village, to solve whatever problems the village as a whole faced. They didn't collect taxes. If a villager's house burned down, the village came together, built that family a new place to live.
So what has happend to this way of taking care of one another. It's the class system, which has allowed us now to have the Mega-rich to the Mega-poor. All rooted by money. Pieces of paper with Dead Presidents on them. Govt should never have to collect taxes or money. Why cant we feed, shelter, educate the less fortunate?Why cant we cure disease, explore space, solve mankinds problems?? Not because we don't have the knowledge or abilties, because we don't have enough money, or as I say, pieces of paper with Dead Presidents on them. How idiotic is that? If we can do something let's do it! What ever happend to the village? The village that never let currency stand in the way of progress. Taxes were invented by the monoarchies of the early world to opress the less fortunate, establish a higher class, which no longer had to make a contribution to the village. It's greed and theft pure and simple.
How do we solve this problem my friend? Very simple. Govt just prints whatever currency it needs to solve its societies problems. It's not backed by anything anyway but"in god we trust". No taxes, no deficits, no starving people, no homeless, techonology being advanced, free health care, free education, free job training, diseases cured. The village is back!! The American Dream is still intact. 99% of all of mankinds problems are solved. The only people who say this is a crazy, uneducated idea, and will wreck the worlds economies is the Mega-Rich, who want to continue to oppress the poor and less fortunate. Shame on you and your greed. Your judgement day will come!
I ask you where in any religious teaching does is talk about having enough money to do god's will?? Zero my friend !! In my future posts I will list what govt should provide to every person. That is why govt was established in the first place, to keep order and take care of ALL of its people. Not to tax and oppress. Which is exactley what its does today. Wake up people!!!

Iraq Math
I guesstimate we have spent over 1.5 trillion on Iraq sent the war began. Let me break that down for you with some interesting numbers.
That equals
$750,000 per Iraqi Citizen
or
$50,000 per US citizen.
Just think we could of gave every person in Iraq $750k.
It's unbelievable. So where's the money?? Defense contractors mainly, who ever else greases the Congress and Pentagon with lobbyists and bribes.
The biggest cost though is the over 3000 troops and 100,000 Iraqi civilians that have been killed. What caused this?? 9/11 where less than 3000 died. So now after 100,000 plus innocent lives, 1.5 trillon dollars what is the result??? Less terrorism??? Nope, we now have so much more. When are we going to wake up? The only beneficiaries from this spending and conflict are the usual parties, Big Oil and Defense Contractors. Companies that are absolute monopolies, they make more profits than any companies in the world. Yes America our 1.5 trillion at work. Are you proud?? I'm fuckin embarrassed and pissed, but what can I do? Blog it baby! lol
Vote?? For one sellout vs another, I'll pass. We need another revolution!

The Cure fo Aids Exsists
I believe the cure for most every disease and aliment exsists. They are only being withheld by corporate drug america. Simple, to cure something is not profitable. I subumit the following article that was is USA Today,
Doc makes candid comments on HIV vaccine
WASHINGTON (AP) — In an unusually candid admission, the federal chief of AIDS research says he believes drug companies don't have an incentive to create a vaccine for the HIV and are likely to wait to profit from it after the government develops one.
And that means the government has had to spend more time focusing on the processes that drug companies ordinarily follow in developing new medicines and bringing them to market.

Tramont
"We had to spend some time and energy paying attention to those aspects of development because the private side isn't picking it up," Dr. Edmund Tramont testified in a deposition in a recent employment lawsuit obtained by The Associated Press.
Tramont is head of the AIDS research division of the National Institutes of Health, and he predicted in his testimony that the government will eventually create a vaccine. He testified in July in the whistle-blower case of Dr. Jonathan Fishbein.
"If we look at the vaccine, HIV vaccine, we're going to have an HIV vaccine. It's not going to be made by a company," Tramont said. "They're dropping out like flies because there's no real incentive for them to do it. We have to do it."
"They will eventually — if it works, they won't have to make that big investment. And they can make it and sell it and make a profit," he said.
An official of the group representing the country's major drug companies took sharp exception to Tramont's comments.
"That is simply not true. America's pharmaceutical research companies are firmly committed to HIV/AIDS vaccine research and development with 15 potential vaccines in development today," said Ken Johnson, senior vice president of PhRMA, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America.
"Vaccine research is crucial to controlling the AIDS pandemic and our companies are well aware of the need to succeed in this vital area of science," Johnson said.
In an e-mail response for comment, Tramont said the HIV vaccine mirrors the history of other vaccines. "It is not just a HIV vaccine — it's all vaccines — that is why there was/is a shortage of flu vaccines," Tramont wrote.
The quest for an AIDS vaccine has been one of science's biggest disappointments despite billions of dollars and years of research. Part of the dilemma is that such a vaccine must work through the very immune system that AIDS compromises.
The failure in the last couple years of one of the more promising vaccine candidates has bred some frustration.
The United Nations' top HIV/AIDS official acknowledged earlier this year at a conference that it was no longer realistic to hope that the world will meet its goal of halting and reversing the spread of the pandemic by 2015. A British delegate to that conference predicted it might take 20 years before such a vaccine is created.
The International AIDS Vaccines Initiative, a not-for-profit group that is pushing for an AIDS vaccine, said there are more than 30 vaccine candidates being tested mostly on a small scale in 19 counties, but it acknowledges many are pursuing a similar theory of science that may prove futile.
"If the hypothesis is proven incorrect, the pipeline of candidates now in trials will be rendered mostly irrelevant. Strong alternative hypotheses have been largely neglected," the group said.
IAVI estimates total annual spending on an AIDS vaccine is $682 million.
"This represents less than 1% of total spending on all health product development," IAVI said. "Private sector efforts amount to just $100 million annually. This is mainly due to the lack of incentives for the private sector to invest in an AIDS vaccine — the science is difficult, and the developing countries that need a vaccine most are least able to pay."

I'm sick of this . We allow the govt. and Corporate America to kill and steal from us on such a ridiculous scale. It's sad. Where are people like me, who are ready to change this absolute stupuidy.

Oil Companies Post Record Profits.
Can you imagine if General Motors made $10 billion dollars in a quarter. Public outrage and people saying the car people a crooks. Oil companies have profited on disaster and tragedy. George Bush and the politicians have been paid a percentage of these profits to allow this to happen. Gas is essentail to American life. We can't boycott gas. The oil companies are a monopoly. It's so unfair. Once again poor pay the rich to get richer with no return benefit at all.
Bush is doing his best to distract us from the truth. Supreme Court, Libby's inditement, Iraq. 2000 dead now. Zero dead from the mega rich's families. The price the non mega rich people must pay. Sad so sad. No wonder people hate America. We are the biggest hypocrites in the world. Our government is a mega corrupt, and oppressing system. No one would be happy with us pushing this system on them. Thus you have suicide bonmbers. The American Revolution was one of the most successful terrorist action ever completed. The Indian's failed. Now it's the muslims extremist vs. US oppressive policies. These people are not blinded by our govt. and corp. america. They see the truth of our so called Democracy, it caters to the rich and not only leaves behide the less fortunate, it oppresses them. I ask will we ever wake up and affect a change?? I hope so!

The Distractions Continue..
The lead news story for the last week is about the Supreme Court nominee and the good ole right to life issue. The Bush Adminstration and the religous right are such hypocrites. Let's save unborn babies, but we can send over 2,000 US service men& women to thier graves in Iraq, plus over 10,000 Iraqi children killed. Give me a break. Idiots!!! These people are dying to make the rich richer. How many mega rich and politicians sons and daughters are in Iraq?? Answer 1. I can imagine how Bush's Iraq policy would change if his precious daughters had to serve in Iraq. We'd be out in 2 seconds. That good old class system insures that the mega rich will never have to worry about thier children dying in Iraq. Just the poor and less fortunate, that must join the military for either job training or the money to go to college. Job training and money for college should be an American right, not required military commitment.
More math...$450 billion spent in Iraq....That equals $180,000 per American citizen or over $2,000,000 per Iraqi citizen. I ask who has that money??? Wake up America!!! Is that money well spent?

Do the freakin math!!
So far 62 billion dollars allocated by congress for hurricane relief. Let see 1 million people lost homes in the hurricanes, that's $62,000 per person. So if u have a family of four that equals $248,000. I think they could get a fresh start with that, don't you?? That doesn't include any charity money. Who gets the $$$?? not the poorest people who need it, the corporations that's who. The contractors and industries who grease Congress with their lobbyists and cash. The oil companies are good ole Bush cronies, who are making billions in oil profits, while he sits back and laughs at the poor . I'm freakin tired of this crap. How bout you?? Lets slap a disaster tax of 50% on any company that makes a windfall on tragdey and castrophies.
They want to rebuild New Orleans??? What for?? So this all can happen again?? Wake up America!!! Fill the ground below sea level above sea level morons, then it won't flood. Dah. Scientists say you can't because it will just sink back down. Well the levies are fill and they dont sink. Whatever. If we rebuild, then all we have to do is wait for another Cat 3 to do this all over again, or a terrorist can just blow up a levy when the water is high enough. Dah. If you want to live in places where this kind of tradgedy can happen in the future then the govt needs to say you are at your own risk. We can't afford to bail idiots who live in disaster zones out over and over. Tell me what you think!!! Speak up!!!
