CIA lies and Banksters

This is Rich Zubaty, the Paul Harvey of Podcasting, bringing you…the REST of the story.

Shortly before Michelle Obama moved into the White House, this rational, educated woman, made an insanely hysterical, paranoid statement, about how she was so thrilled that, in a few weeks, when she put her daughters to bed in the White House, our soldiers in foreign lands would be protecting them……. Are you kidding me? Protecting them? From what? Going to sleep in the White House, has to be just about the safest place to go to sleep, on Planet Earth. It’s a whole lot safer than any neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, THAT I know for sure.

So why is this otherwise sober and balanced woman saying this? She’s saying this because she’s being lied to. By her husband. And why is he lying to her? Because he’s being lied to. And therein lies…[RG and RZ VOICE] the rest of the story.

Every morning the president receives a national security briefing. From whom? From the same assholes who briefed Colin Powell just before he went into the United Nations and made a total ass of himself, and ruined his political career forever, by claiming there were Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq. CIA, FBI, NSA, National Security Agency. These people lie to the leaders of the American People, because it’s the only way to justify funding their asinine projects.

People believe that the president of the USA has privileged access to highly classified intelligence. He does. The problem is, it’s all wrong. He’s told there are enemies all over the place out there who want to kill him. Which is true. He’s NOT told that far and away most those enemies sleep in caves, and ride donkeys. He’s NOT told he’s got more enemies within the American Military, and Intelligence communities, who will want to kill him, if he cuts their funding, than there are sardines in the sea. Any school child or wino in the street could make a better call on a National Security issue than the president, for the simple reason that their thinking is not polluted with lies and misinformation, and his is. It would be laughable were it not so deadly.

I’m not pulling this out of my ass. Hold onto your butt cheeks. I’m gonna to verify it right now.

This deliberate disinformation campaign by American intelligence PROFESSIONALS, against the American people, bloomed during the Cold War, with the Soviet Union. It is now known that U.S. intelligence estimates, ROUTINELY pegged Soviet military strength, three to five times higher than it was. Our spies claimed the Soviets had three to five times the number of missiles, tanks, jets and soldiers than they actually did. This is OUTRAGEOUS.

[RG Voice: OUTRAGEOUS]

The people who told us this should be hung, not given government pensions. What this means is that, instead of giving food and medicine to the rest of the world, like Cuba, we spent our money building more and more useless missiles and tanks. A complete WASTE of our national treasure. And thoroughly counterproductive and outright damaging to our national security, because it goaded the Soviets into a nuclear arms race, and insane adventures like trying to put missiles in Cuba, to counterbalance the missiles we had put near the Soviet border in Turkey.

I just read a book written by a former Soviet KGB officer stationed in Washington DC. Stanislav Levchenko. Levchenko was the Soviet Spymaster who ran spies inside the CIA and FBI…crew cut American guys from Wisconsin and California who spied for the Soviets. And why did they spy for the Soviets? The main reason they gave Levchenko was: they hated, how their superiors, at the CIA and FBI and NSA, were lying to the American people, about Soviet military strength, and the money and weapons needed to neutralize that bogus strength. They hated how American money and resources were being squandered on pumped up lies. According to Levchenko, these spies remained American patriots. They did not become communists. They did not want to move to Russia. They wanted to stop the flood of lies from their superiors: J. Edgar Hoover and William Casey and George Herbert Walker Bush and Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney, and the other evil trolls crawling through the political sewers of Washington.

These trolls are the same guys who lie to Obama every single morning. (more…)

Capitalism with a Human Face

This is Rich Zubaty, the Paul Harvey of podcasting, the Rude Guy no more. Presenting the show that’s about ideas. Not opinions, not issues, not ideology. Ideas.

I love President Obama’s stimulus package. I love his budget. For a homeless guy living in his car, like me, the notion of 18% more funding, for HUD housing, means that maybe, in a year or two, I can get under a roof. The chance of that under George W Bush had virtually evaporated. The only way I could get under a roof then was to move to Mexico.

And let’s not forget, I’m a homeless guy who built dozens of houses, as a carpenter and contractor, four of them for myself, which were stolen from me by a greedy ex wife, in collusion with utterly corrupt legal and banking systems. A legal system that discriminates in favor of women over men. And a banking system that created the Savings and Loan disaster, destroyed my construction business, and precipitated divorce, and the loss of ALL my houses. So ya see, the current economic climate is not my first experience with banking collapse. I’ve been through it before. Consequently, I simply never exposed myself to those corrupt bastards again. I won’t get married or build houses again. I just write, and make art, and piss all over their money schemes for the rich. 401k’s my ass. As I’ve been saying for 35 years, this country does not work. What we do and how we do it is not sustainable. It has no future. In fact, a professor at Yale University has just predicted that Capitalism will be extinct in 40 years. I don’t think it’ll totally disappear, but in 40 years, what we call capitalism, might be represented by Big Mike’s plumbing company and Luigi’s Italian family restaurant. Small business will survive, always.

I like Barack Obama and I hope he succeeds…but he doesn’t have a prayer if he maintains his current attitude…that he has nothing to learn from the sixties generation. If he thinks he has nothing to learn from the Vietnam War, he will fail in Afghanistan. If he thinks he has nothing to learn from the war AGAINST the Vietnam War. He will fail on Main Street. The sixties were not about dope and free love and protests, as his generation was brainwashed to believe. The sixties were about cutting the military industrial establishment down at the knees. Just like President Eisenhower recommended. And when that failed…when we got infiltrated, and compromised and assassinated and sold out…the whole nation was corralled into the ideological concentration camps run by Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton and George Bushes 1 and 2. We’ve had thirty years of conservative government and we’re DYING from it.

Unlike George W Bush, Obama has a functioning head and heart. But Obama comes from the Yuppie Generation. The generation that thought life was about making money…and the hell with political change. Our yuppie economic engine would grow so fast, we would just sweep the poor up along with us. So don’t worry about them. Forget about bread and circuses. We’re all gonna have shrimp and steak and the Super Bowl. Don’t feel guilty. The trickle down dollars will shower the needy with food and shelter. Somehow. The high tide of Reaganomics will raise all the boats. And so, the mentally disabled were kicked out of their half way houses, to make room for the Service Economy. Then NAFTA and free trade. Then the dot.com economy. Then deregulated Wall Street. Then the ownership society and sub prime lending. And guess what folks? All of it was bullshit. Everything you have ever heard in mainstream media about the economy, is bullshit.

The big pants economic pundits tell us today, they didn’t have a clue that HUGE problems were steamrolling right at us? Didn’t have a CLUE? How about: when a company lays off 3000 workers it’s stock price goes UP. Is that a fucking clue? How about the Savings and Loan disaster? When the capitalist bastards ran up $500 billion dollars in losses, and handed us taxpayers the bill. That happened under Reagan. That was our first experience with Reaganomics. Is that a fucking clue? How about the exploding dot.com bubble? If that’s not a clue what the fuck is? There are hundreds of clues available to any mind that is not brainwashed with free market ideology. Like Alan Greenspan or Lard Ass Limbaugh.

And here’s the real unavoidable clue: our economic system does not work. It has never worked. We’ve just used our military and money to intimidate and bribe the rest of the world so they sell us cheap oil and metals. We created wealth by exploiting the people of the planet. But that is fucking over! That’s what Iraq is, the end of the global American scam. The rest of the world will not buy American free market bullshit any more.

We bit the bullet, and got out of Vietnam, after ten dreadful, useless years, and the world forgave us and forgot. They might even do that again, but we have to get the fuck out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and we need an entirely new way of running our economy. Then, perhaps, they will give America the benefit of the doubt, once again. That’s why they like Obama. As one Frenchman said: America is the New World again.

But Obama’s notion of taking us forward, by taking us backward, is just plain ignorant. He wants banks to loan money to put up solar panels and develop stem cell biological products. But he doesn’t want to address the underlying dysfunction of capitalism and free trade.

There’s one reason for hope however: Although Barack Obama is from the yuppie generation, he’s not a yuppie true believer. He worked on Wall Street for a few months when he graduated from NYU, but then quit that bullshit, and went to Chicago, to do ghetto social work, so he could unravel his half-black identity. He bailed out of yuppiedom early…nonetheless, his worldview is framed by Yuppie presumptions. I was surrounded with student revolutionaries in college, and he was surrounded, in college, with students who wanted to launch start ups and become CEOs.

Newsweek is now pontificating that the new generations, the generations that voted in Obama, don’t want to hear about 60s culture wars. What hollow assholes.

The sixties were about breaking away from the system. Creating alternatives. Living in communes. Sharing food and shelter. It absolutely drives me insane when people refer to the sixties generation, as the “ME” generation. It was the exact fucking opposite. The World War Two generation was the ME generation. The yuppies were the ME generation. Feminism was the ME generation. Feminism was NOT the sixties culture wars. Feminism destroyed the sixties culture wars. The sixties were about peace, love and sharing everything you had. Then feminism came along and said hey buster, gimme mine, and wrecked the whole beautiful thing.

Feminism was founded by the CIA for fucks sakes. The CIA gave Gloria Steinem the money to launch MS. magazine. Did you ever look at that magazine! There was no fucking advertising in it. It had no visible means of support. Over a hundred slick glossy pages, and scarcely an ad to be found. Feminism was a diabolical subterfuge to divide, and undo the real revolutionaries. The American patriots who wanted to chop down the military industrial state.

The sixties were about communalism. Remember that word. Communalism. (more…)
