Spook Alert: Ahhnold's Going Down, Ya' Losers!

by mediawatcher Tuesday, Oct. 07, 2003 at 7:55 PM

Despite the best and most insidious efforts of the right-wing, the pro-republican news media, and their agents, the surveillance spooks on the IMC, California voters are smarter than the average pro-Ahhnold-supporting moron whose mentality is shaped by CNN, FuxNEws and terminator movies, and he will go down. Sorry, losers...

You can try to stack up the cards in your favor, but it won't happen. In the eleventh hour, if Ahnold does try to steal the election, Davis will more than likely step down and let Cruz take over to avoid giving California to the bush-rove cabal.

Ahhnold supporters need to get a clue and learn above women's issues and why conservatives are actually the minority in this country and world--its just that they have all the money and control the media.

So maybe you should learn a little bit of Spanish so on Wednesday you'll know how to say to Ahhnold

"Hasta La Vista, Puto!"

Even if your boy Gumby does step down at the 11th hour (how cool would THAT be!) Arnold still becomes governor of Kollivornia. That's how it works.

Actually, maybe liberals could be in the minority, they just make the most noise, because they own most of the media. How's that Times subscription going?

Here's what YOU should learn to say, cabron, GOVERNOR Schwarzenegger. Has a nice ring to it, eh?

The trend is all against Arnold with more and more sexual attacks and Nazi links being revealed every few hours. Some swine on this board actually referred to the women making these revelations as "sluts." He's the slut, and Arnold is another one.

If the election was a week away instead of a day Arnold would be a goner. He may be a goner anyway; it depends on how much play the new information about the bastard gets in the electronic media.

Yeah, more and more lying attacks by left wing paid sluts, not to mention the incomparable Gloria Allred as lawyer for the ugliest one. You can't BUY entertainment like this.

And the Nazi stuff is more, now repudiated, lefty bullshit. But it sure got all your blood pressure up for a couple of days, didn't it? Just LOVED hearing the name Hitler in the same sentence as Schwarzenegger, didn't you?

Get used to it, leftist scweinhunden. First Gray, then Jackie Goldberg, Maxine Waters, and all the rest of your socialist comrades. Then maybe CA will be a decent place to live and work again.

by johnk Tuesday, Oct. 07, 2003 at 9:35 PM

I think most friendly ass-taps are ignored and forgotten. The accusations against him are real sexual advances, and, it is to strangers, not friends.

As for the fascism, it just means someone who is a Fascist. He's probably not one, but, like a fascist, he's into strength, patriotism, government-corporation cooperation, and war. He may be interested in totalitarian control over society too - he did become a big player in this federal fitness program, which is, in my estimation, a big government propaganda program to compensate for the effects of farm subsidies and permissive nutritional "regulations" on the food industries.

He is, at best, a pseudo-libertarian. He's more like a control freak and a dominating creep.

It's Real Mussonlini Style Fascism!

davidk@oz-online.net

The multi-billion dollar Schwarzenegger/Enron scam against the peple of California has been exposed.

http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=03/10/06/160254

So will this news get to enough people to prevent California from going the way of Mussolini's Italy?

This "recall" is a real corporate backed coup like brought in Mussolini. Whether California choses or rejects Fascism in this election will have very severe and grave effects on all of us. Is the problem that the left is the "boy who cried wolf", and having worn out the word "fascism" by using it as an empty cursword against whoever we don't like, lacks credibility when finally, for the first time in U.S. History we may suffer a real and total fascist coup?

The election in California will be a turning point in world history. Will it be the Fall of France or the Battle of Stalingrad? Can we begin to see the end of this nightmare, or are we about to see it get much, much worse?

Rome A Better Model

by empire Tuesday, Oct. 07, 2003 at 9:53 PM

If Arnold had a (D) next to his name instead of an (R), this wouldn't even be an issue.

The claims of fascism are hilarious. Rome was a merger of corporate and state power, control of labor, strong military, patriotism, and the like. Does any reasonable person consider Rome to have been fascist? No. Mussolini and Hitler were fascist. The US is a Republic, like Rome. If you wanted to give it a label, you could say that, in your opinion, the US was becoming Imperlistic. Besides, who would want to immitate fascist? It lasted all of around 20 years before it burned out. Not exactly the type of economy by which to model an empire. If you wanted to model your country after an empire, Rome would be a much better model to follow in all respects.

by empire Tuesday, Oct. 07, 2003 at 10:06 PM

No, they didn't. When Rome would overcome a particular people, they would bestow upon them citizenship of Rome. The men of fighting age would become part of the military. There were many other basic things that Rome did that Germany and Italy didn't even come close to incorporating.

Mussolini promised his people they would relive the glory of Rome. Hitler wanted an empire that would last 1000 years. Other than those symbolic references, their approach to war, governing, and how they dealt with conquered people were eons apart.

The US is much closer to Rome than Nazi Germany in almost everyway. It's just that fascism was a recent event and has more "punch" when you protest or whatever it is you people do. No one's going to take a second notice to a sign that says "Bush is Caesar", but a "Bush is Hitler" sign, that may get a second look. But it has no basis in reality and that's why it's not making a connection. You're comparing the US to fascism which is unlike anything that is going on. What the US is doing isn't what Rome did either, but it would be more similar when compared than what Germany did. Once again, it just doesn't have the same effect of yelling "Roman" than it does yelling "Nazi", so historical accuracy has once again been sacrificed for expediancy.

pro and con of Arnold

by apathy vs. anger Tuesday, Oct. 07, 2003 at 10:31 PM

If Arnold wins he'll be a puppet for Bush. The positive in all this is that people will get together and unite against this facist scum..

The negative is that he'll make KKKalifornia an unpleasant place, more prisons, more environmental destruction, etc..

Another Democrat will result in more apathy from liberals. An Arnold factor will result in anger and organization, networking, etc..

b) stringent socioeconomic controls

This doesn't even mean anything to begin with. Not a characteristic of anything other than the juxtaposition of a few buzzwords.



c) suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship

Uh, yeah. We really suffer under this. I mean just look at how hard it is to organize protests or marches or IMC sites or.... jackass!!!

“No reasonable person believes the US is becoming fascist”

1-Three times, G.W.Bush have stated that it would be easier to be a dictator. It's getting easier, don't you agree?

2- Why did G.W.Bush ask the president of Brazil if there are any blacks there?

3-Why is Mr. Bush so anxious to seal records that are nearly 20 years old?

4- Why has the Justice Dept. consistently refused to supply information to Congress on how the USA PATRIOT Act is being implemented, especially in light of the fact that passage of the act was conditional upon adequate oversight by Congress?

5- Why Mr. Bush Appointed John Negroponte - an un-indicted high-level Iran Contra figure to the post of United Nations Ambassador?

6-Why Mr. Bush Appointed Otto Reich - an un-indicted high-level Iran Contra figure - to Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs?.

7-Why Mr. Bush Appointed recycling foe Lynn Scarlett as Undersecretary of the Interior?

8- Why Mr. Bush proposed a trillion tax cut, of which 43% will go to the wealthiest 1% of Americans?

9- Why Mr. Bush Nominated Terrence Boyle - ardent opponent of civil rights - to a federal judgeship?



10- 9- Why Mr. Bush nominated Harvey Pitts - lawyer for teen sex video distributor - to head SEC?

11- Why Mr. Bush Reduced by 40% the Low Income Home Assistance Program for low-income individuals who need assistance paying energy bills?

12- Why Mr. Bush nominated Ted Olson - who has repeatedly lied about his involvement with the Scaiffe-funded "Arkansas Project" to bring down Bill Clinton - for Solicitor General?

13- Why Bush proposes to give government the authority to take private property through eminent domain for power lines?

14-Doing business with the enemy is nothing new to the Bush family. Much of the Bush family wealth came from supplying needed raw materials and credit to Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich. Several business operations managed by Prescott Bush – the president’s grandfather - were seized by the US government during World War II under the Trading with the Enemy Act.

On October 20, 1942, the federal government seized the Union Banking Corporation in New York City as a front operation for the Nazis. Prescott Bush was a director. Bush, E. Roland Harriman, two Bush associates, and three Nazi executives owned the bank’s shares. Eight days later, the Roosevelt administration seized two other corporations managed by Prescott Bush. The Holland-American Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation, both managed by the Bush-Harriman bank, were accused by the US federal government of being front organizations for Hitler’s Third Reich. Again, on November 8, 1942, the federal government seized Nazi-controlled assets of Silesian-American Corporation, another Bush-Harriman company doing business with Hitler.

Doing business with the bin Laden empire, therefore, is only the latest extension of the Bush family’s financial ties to unsavory individuals and organizations. Now that thousands of American citizens have died in terrorist attacks and the nation is going to war, the American people should know about George W. Bush’s relationship with the family of Osama bin Laden.

by krankyman Wednesday, Oct. 08, 2003 at 11:35 AM

Everyone who ends up in the office of the president is a liar. And George(Little Boy Emperor)Bush is no exception to the rule. Honest? Why was he still read a book to children when the planes crashed into the World Trade Center? He has NEVER explained that. Why has he signed an Executive Order sealing the records of ALL presidents for the next twenty years,even if those presidents want their papers published? Why has he sealed his own military records? Bushie's history is one of lieing,obfuscation,and brown-nosing the corporate interests. This man wouldn't make it as a manager of a McDonalds if it wasn't for Pappy and his oil buddies. American's feel sorry for someone who they perceive as the friendly village idiot. So quit saying he is this honest guy because the record consistently shows otherwise.

There is no such thing as a friendly ass tap, breast grabbing, forcible disrobing, or anything similar with a woman with whom you do not have a relationship or who has not given you permission for that kind of behavior. Schwartzenazi is a sex offender and a molester. There is also no such thing as apolitical praising of Adolf Hitler. He is a fascist. He belongs in prison. That the ruling class would even consider financing the campaign of such a thug shows that it is in no way superior to the German upper classes of the 1930's.

Arnold is going to win, KPFK PIGS!

by Audit KPFK FOR TERRORIST FINANCING Wednesday, Oct. 08, 2003 at 3:00 PM

Maybe Governor Arnold will start cleaning up some of our terrorist sympathizers here in Southern California, and audit the funding for KPFK and LA Indymedia. It would be interesting to see if you guys can stay afloat without your cash injections from the Saudis and the Iranian secret police. Who do you think paid for the expansion of the KPFK studio? I have news for you, it was not local S Cal subscribers, it was fund from Saudi Arabia that went through shills and fake accounts. KPFK is the voice of Arab and Islamic Nationalsim. That is why Arab issues are always on the front burner and things important to progressives - like having inept local government with the democratic party here in California, and all the last minute floundering to fight Arnold's election - are so ludicrous. KPFK and LA Indymedia have been hijacked by Palestinian and Arab interests and the rest of you subscribers are so blind you can not even see it.....the result is you have no organization whatsoever on local issues, on labor issues, on local environmental issues, because your station and this web site devote all their time to demonizing Israel and glorifying Palestinian suicide bombers and their idiotic ISM supporters.

So now you are going to pay the price for letting this station be taken over by the Muslims - I wish I could feel sorry for you but you are so vicious I can't.....

Except that they are not out of nowhere - they are out of movie and television casts or production crews from shows and films that Arnold has been in, or they are from his neighborhood, or they were present in gyms where he worked out. One was the wife of a fellow bodybuilder; the other was a gang bang victim about whom Schwartzenazi himself boasted. Hardly out of nowhere.

Nor are these revelations all that sudden. Schwartzenazi has been known as a sexual harasser in Hollywood for decades, and his infantile boasting has played no small part in getting him the reputation.

Notice that there are no rumors about his powerful intellect, his concern for social justice, or his devotion to democracy - just rumors about him assaulting women.

And then one guy pointed to his workers and said," These people put me on the BEACH(emphasis mine) and it's my responsibility to keep them in their jobs." I wonder how many of these jobs pay enough so they can "be on the beach". Oh that's right 6.75 is the minimum wage that is breaking the back of Cali business.

In fact, it would be good if all the big corps in Calif. got together and told these liberals that if they don't let up on the overregulation, a bunch more of them are going to move to other states with people who would appreciate the income and jobs they provide.

What you fail to recognize is, to the Democrats running the state of California, you are nothing but a number that owes Sacremento its dues so they can redistribute it to the people they need to buy votes from.

What company wants to move to California knowing they are going to be muscled and cornered into performing a bunch of services that have nothing to do with why they are in business? Hopefully the message has been sent to the state that we've had enough of them treating the general public like their cattle.
