On Tuesday Vote Harris To Protect Nation From Trump

by Cimaxion | Leave a comment

We all see the male candidate for President behaving crudely in public, threatening people with violence and death, removing women’s right to make their own reproductive choices, and openly planning to take over the government as a tyrant.

Men who support this and want to prevent the women around them from voting for Kamala Harris are losers. They want to maintain a personal sense of misogynistic control over women to make themselves feel like they are not losers.

These men are deeply troubled, permanent losers.

If you are a woman and the man near you wants to walk you to a polling station and make sure of your vote, then you may want to reconsider having him around. He isn’t worth your time.

Let’s all get out there and protect this country from a troubled and dangerous man who is very openly trying to start a dictatorship. Let’s all vote Harris!

It’s Incredibly Important to Vote for Harris and Walz to Help Protect the Nation

by Cimaxion

Here’s where you can find how to register to vote in your state.

It should not need saying, but no person who fans the flames of insurrection and attacks their own Capitol building, legislators, Vice President, and Capitol Police officers is in any way qualified to be the President of the United States.

This is a simple thing to keep in mind.

Kamala Harris was one of the nation’s most accomplished citizens even before becoming Vice President. She was a prosecutor. You simply cannot get anyone better qualified to maintain public safety. In addition, she clearly and consistently focuses her support on the regular people working every day in America’s middle class.

Harris also steadfastly supports the basic human right of women to choose what happens inside their own bodies. She firmly supports the personal and often medical choice to have an abortion. Her opponent saw fit to place anti-abortion judges all over the federal court system, including the Justices of the Supreme Court who immediately did what they were placed there to do: they eliminated the protections of Roe v Wade. So women all over the country now are being chased and treated as criminals for making a very basic and private decision about what is inside their own bodies.

As Harris’s running mate, Tim Walz, says about these anti-abortionists: ‘Mind your own damn business!’

Trump wants to be a dictator. That’s why he likes other dictators. That’s why he enjoyed the attack on the Capitol building and Congress.

Remember, half the jury that convicted Trump on 34 separate charges was Republican. That means that not a single Trump supporter on the jury saw fit to say he was not guilty on at least 1 of the 34 charges. They all said he was guilty straight down the line.

That’s huge.

Harris wants to be President. A real president. An honorable President. A capable President. An intelligent President.

That’s the difference.

Get out and make sure you are registered to vote.

Here’s where you can find how to register to vote in your state.

Then go out there on Election Day and cast the incredibly important vote to protect the United States from a clear danger and help transform this election into one of hope and joy.

Vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and help Keep America Free!

Saturday November 5 Is Bank Transfer Day

by Cimaxion | 1 Comment

Tomorrow, Saturday November 5, 2011, is Bank Transfer Day. That means that Americans everywhere are moving their money out of big banks and putting them into smaller local banks and credit unions that are FDIC insured. The Occupy Wall Street movement is having serious consequences and is beginning to wake people up to how easy it is to change things when millions decide to act. The big banks have been making life very difficult for many people through absurd fees, rates and indecipherable rules meant to empty pockets. But the problem is actually much more serious than that. Big banks are actually putting lives at risk through illegal foreclosures all across the United States. Masses of people are boiling with anger that is going to reach a critical overload. Moving money out of these banks into credit unions is a common sense approach to smacking big banks. But this event is just a warm-up. What we are practicing for is the eventual ability of the population to move almost overnight to totally destroy a chosen corporation. The ability to do so is almost here and will make itself apparent in very short order. I’m talking about a population that will be able to pick a corporation – say a major auto manufacturer for instance – and totally liquidate that corporation. This will be a weaponized and highly focused form of boycott, but it will be characterized by extremely sudden mass decision-making unlike anything ever seen in history. Get ready for it. Start your warmup tomorrow by moving to a credit union or small local bank.

Right Here All Over (Occupy Wall Street): A Film by Alex Mallis

by Cimaxion

This film shows how the protesters of the Occupy Wall Street movement organize themselves in lower Manhattan. They seem to be forming something like a little community with food services, minor first aid, a library, battery charging and even video editing services for all the people covering the action. These people are working hard and have an uncommon seriousness about them. This is something new. These are mainly young people. They are waking up from iPod oblivion and showing the world that they can make a difference in a democracy decayed by a corporate stranglehold over the government. These are people who can see that corporate management structures have totally occupied and taken over the United States government all the way up to and including its Supreme Court. In fact, there is no other way to dismantle this criminal structure. It can only be broken up by massive groups of angry protesters who simply never stop coming.

The film was shot and edited by Alex Mallis.

Here’s a simple and clear opinion piece about the reform movement represented by Occupy Wall Street.

America, One Quarter of Your Children Are In Poverty

by Cimaxion | 1 Comment

Look at these kids. Look at how bright and good they are. Sixty Minutes went and found some of the millions of recently homeless families living in cheap motel rooms around this country as they try to maintain some semblance of normalcy in a rapidly collapsing world of foreclosures and endless joblessness.

An entire generation of kids is going to grow up with a very different attitude about life and country than we baby boomers have had. These kids are the shock to the American system. They experience an America of grinding poverty and large corporations that heartlessly protect only the top earners in their structures. But these kids have a sharp awareness and a reflective quality that bodes ill for the status quo.

Republican policies would strip poor families of affordable access to health care and birth control services. Republican policies favor the very wealthy and corporate profits at the expense of everyone else. This is very strange since many supporters of Republican policies are themselves poor. Democrats are not much better. They tend to have a more realistic view of poverty and its causes, but they do not show the strength required to stand up and be great in the face of despair. Obama is a decent and dull failure. I am pessimistic about his chances at a second term because he has not behaved as if he did not want or need a second term. All presidential mediocrities temper their politics toward winning a second election. A great president only wants a single term in office.

America finds itself in strange waters during a time when it is supposed to be commanding a bright future. It bogs itself down in budget busting wars that are meant to spread democracy in countries that do not value democracy. America spills its blood and money into the earth, but will end up with nothing. The people it fights for will not build free societies. They will wallow in filth and slip back into the hands of despots or religious tyrants. Some people on earth have no possibilities. It is that simple. One must eventually leave those people to their own particular demise.  To believe otherwise is to engage a fantasy.

But not these people in this video. These are sharp and strong Americans who will recognize what’s been done wrong in this country and they will stand up and decide to fix things when they are just a little bit older.
