DRANT #266: SCAM ALERT!

Scam alert !
Remember- the one hunnderd percent ga-run-tee of a scam is when all the Press Prosties start pushing something at once. The best defense against being scammed is information; here is a handy guide to some of the latest and stinkiest and most upchuckable scams going right now.

Scamola 1 -- GORE: I told ya about Gore. The Flummoxathon by Big Biz, the Democratic Bigtimers who are gorging on their largesse, and the pimp media who work for them.
For more Gore:
Nobel Hypocrisy

"...throughout his political life, Gore's actions betrayed the public's trust and still do. He and his wife live in two large energy-consuming homes: a 10,000 square foot, eight bedroom one in Nashville and a 4000 square foot one in Arlington, VA. The Gores also own a third home in Carthage, TN. In both Washington and Nashville, utility companies offer a wind energy green alternative to customers for a small per kilowatt hour premium. Gore can easily afford it, but public records show no evidence he's does it in either residence. Alex Cockburn gets the last word on a man who shills for privilege, has plenty for himself, and like George Bush disdains the public interest: "Al Gore distills in his single person the disrepair of liberalism in America today, and almost every unalluring feature of the Democratic Party" that's mostly indistinguishable from the other side of the aisle in a city where the criminal class is bipartisan."
We need to stop the BS, and name the real perps, not lionize the liars.
Whatta scam.

Scamola 2 -- MYANMAR: How about them Burmese monks ? But wait- haven't we seen this one before ? Even the snazzy Orange (I'm just wild about Saffron) outfits ? Let me jog your brain- Otpor in Serbia, Kmara in Georgia, and of course The Orange guys in Ukraine. All of them share some really amazing coincidences-- the profound and pervasive participation of a roster of USA/CIA backed and financed interlopers, "consultants" and NGOs -- who played significant roles in ALL of these "popular uprisings." The list reads like a rogues gallery of the worst groups on the globe: the U.S. State Department and USAID along with the infamous National Endowment for Democracy (previous clients include Noriega, Chomorro, Sumate (Venezuela), for starters, and currently various groups in Iran. Alumni feature some names you may recall -- like Carlucci, Holbrooke, Bill Frist and Wesley Clark. Mama mia what a disgusting crop of thugs) and all of its nefarious progeny, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, the International Republican Institute, the NGO Freedom House and George Soros's Open Society Institute . I know parents who wash their kids' mouths out for mentioning any of these filthy words.
Where was the USA in 1988 ? in 1992 ? or when Suu Kyi was deposed and jailed ? Why - in it up to their eyeballs of course. Doing what it does best- creating chaos and civil disorder- so we can march in and make peace, making the world safe for Chevron (Unocal) and Total, and much more difficult for those goddam Chinese.
Whatta scam.

Scamola 3 -- DARFUR: Have you had enough of the "Save Darfur" dupes ? Pleeeeze. There's one way to save Darfur, and its people - get the US and China OUT of there, and not one peep about UN "peacekeepers." Just like Burma, and Iraq, and soooo many other places (see above) the US is supplying all sides with guns and money. Earlier this year, I asked a CIA front man (giving a heartbreaking Save Darfur slide show) how it was possible that people so starving and desperate in the south of Sudan could afford all of them GUNS. No food, no medicine, but plenty money for guns ? He said, I am not kidding, that the guns came from Libya. It was all Khaddafi's fault. The answer to "saving" Darfur, or the Congo, or the Planet for that matter- must begin by totally dismantling the US War/Biz machine, and radically extricating the US and other governments of the world from corporate dominance. Or- you can get your junior high class together, and sell cookies, or have a car wash, and send the pennies to the Save Darfur people, who are part of the problem not part of the solution, and so are we.
Whatta scam.

Scamola 4 -- BLACKWATER: Jeremy Scahill is incredible. Blackwater is abominable. Dahr Jamail and his expose of what really happened in Fallujah are amazing and indispensable. But- the Usual Suspects are shifting the focus to Blackwater, and away from the real villains- the US Troops.
We are being brainwashed- that the abominations in Iraq are aberrative lunacy on the part of a gang of out of control "contractors." The real story is that the US Invading Forces have committed and continue to commit, unrelenting and increasing unspeakable horrors on the people of Iraq, and Afghanistan-- just as they did in Vietnam. We continue to be so very eager to blame the bastards at Blackwater, and not look at the deeper and infinitely more painful truth- we are a nation of murderers, rapists, torturers and thieves--- and though this goes back hundreds of years covering our entire history- the problem is only getting much much worse. Its Blackwater- but Blackwater 'R US.
Anudda scam.
