Is This NOT Important?

I realize that Wisconsin situation and the horrible quake and tsunami are breaking stories and the world needs to hear them….but on the same hand there are things happening in news that are just as important….if not more so…..in a couple of months the two mentioned above will be replaced by other issues and most likely other disasters…..

There are things that the media will cull out of  the story board….why?  Most media outlets are owned and operated by corporate interests and some stories are not at all flattering and in as such will be either not reported or glazed over quickly and then move on…….Newser has reported on such a story……

A trove of leaked documents apparently reveals that Bank of America may have been involved in a scheme to bilk homeowners—a claim the bank rigorously denies. Hacker group Anonymous, which leaked the documents, says that more damning information is on the way, reports Business Insider. The emails, which allegedly come from an ex-employee of BoA subsidiary Balboa Insurance, apparently show the bank, insurance providers, and mortgage brokers all knew of a scheme to cancel people’s insurance agreements, forcing homeowners to buy much more expensive mortgage insurance far above normal requirements. Often, this would also lead to home foreclosures. Anonymous put BoA in its crosshairs last December after the bank cut off contributor payments to WikiLeaks. The hacker group has created bankofamericasucks.com,and promises to post more damning leaks. Bank of America, however, called the leaked materials non-foreclosure related clerical and administrative documents, telling Reuters: “We are confident that his extravagant assertions are untrue.”

And yet, this is somehow NOT important enough to be covered in its entirety…..WHY?

The best answer is……the media, the government and the country are ruled by special interests and the people are there only to service them….for the people NOTHING!

So, There Is No Class War?

Tax cuts!  Spending cuts!  Who gets what?  Who will smile?  And who gets depression?

I found this graphic when I visited the blog of one of my newest readers,  a good blog that deserves a look. runawaylawyer.wordpress.com…….

I have heard a lot of conserv commentators say that there is NO class war being waged in the US……..I know people do NOT want to hear it…..but I am sorry….but I cannot think of another term to use to describe what is being done to the working majority of this country……..how about the fight in Wisconsin?  How about the labor wars in other “rust belt” states?…..check out the graphic….and then tell me what it is called!

There are story after story of how the working class is being manipulated at every turn….I cannot completely blame the conservs….after all the American people are dumb enough to fall for the rhetoric of the politicians……no matter how you cut it the working majority is getting the shaft and the corporations and the CEOs are getting the gold….if that is NOT class warfare….then you tell me what it is!

Now Is NOT The Time For Domestic Policy

I watch a lot of political stuff and usually try to watch “Meet The Press” to get caught up on the dialogs I may have missed over the week….of course, we all know the problem in Japan a quake, a tsunami and a nuclear disaster waiting to happen…..everyone seems to be trying to analyze the nuclear situation (personally, I do not think the Japanese are being totally honest on the situation)…..but here they are gonna start re-evaluating the nuclear program because of the disaster in waiting….

I hear the GOP’s point man in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, talking on the Japanese problem and what the consequences could be for the US and then he said something that I found very telling on the GOP stance on energy and environmental issues….he said…..”after an environmental crisis is not the time to make domestic policy”  (A paraphrase)

OK, if not now, when?

The GOP wants to wait for calmer days when NO one gives a crap and it can be addressed without much attention….where any restrictions of nuclear construction can be blocked at every turn….without much media attention…..think I am mistaken?

Look at deep water oil drilling…..after the massive oil spill that damn near destroyed the US Gulf Coast…..we are back to issuing permits to do it again….funny how that worked out!  The old saying, “outta sight, outta mind”…is one that the GOP lives by and will do whatever it takes to keep it that way…..

So, sports fans….I ask again…..If Not Now, Then When?

For a little injection of humor into the post….you need to hear from Glenn Beck……
