THE LIVE CHAT ROOM IS RIGHT UP THERE! SCROLL UP IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IT DURING THE SHOW and JUMP IN!

Well, Frank from Albuquerque hasn't shown up to make his phone call to your show tonight... Something about a hot date with sexy...
YOU should have got him on last night It would have done wonders for the FIGHT! Here's the transcript of his amazinbg thought process:

Call to Thom Hartmann radio show at CPAC: 2-11-11
"If we learned anything from the Egyptian PEOPLE is if citizens get together they can bring about change and demand accountability. Which is what the American people need to do to all those conservative wacko criminals at CPAC. I think FDR said it best: “Government by organized money is as bad as government by organized mob”.

Also I just had to speak out against the blatant racism exhibited by the Justice Department against Italian-Americans. I wanted to tell Attorney General Eric Holder that I’m not impressed with his recent so-called MAFIA crackdown. Get this, Holder thought it was a good idea to spend a quarter billion dollars and use 800 Federal agents/police to go after a bunch of old Italian guys. Talk about a serious misallocation of resources.

I say it’s racism because the FED’s always RICO Act the Italian-Americans while completely ignoring a crime wave controlled by White Anglo Saxon Protestants. I’ll give 10 to 1 odds right now that the Bush Crime Family alone in the last 30 years has committed more crime, killed more people and robbed more money than all the Italian Families have done since 1910. Can anyone tell me with a straight face the likes of the Koch Bros, K-St, Chamber of Commerce, FOX News and the Republican Party isn’t involved with racketeering, influence and corruption? COME ON!

The old timers used to tell me a long time ago why the Federal Government hates Italian-Americans. It’s all because my people despise authority. Oh yea it’s inbred in us all. I think it’s because most of our grandfathers came to America during Prohibition. Can you imagine they come to the so-called “land of the free” and the government tells them they can’t have a drink after work… managia la America.

It’s like the FBI believes the R.I.C.O. Act is for Italian-Americans only. FBI Agents are punks and Eric Holder is just being a good House Negro for the rich WASPs. You LAW Advocates want respect for your authority then you’d BETTER start doing your jobs. Maybe you pussies could maybe investigate that blaring lack of transparency in the derivatives market… who knows… there might even be some Italian-Americans, working at Goldman-Sachs, Chase, JP Morgan, you fascistas can abuse… lol

The LAW always takes the easy targets to boast crime statistics. They’ll throw some kid in Arizona prison for 10 years for a marijuana bust but allowed the CIA to flood ghettos with crack cocaine and Afghani heroin.

I’d guess it’s how my representatives in government have leaned to divert attention away from the ROOT of all our problems. A scandalous, elitist ruling class of constipated, impotent WASP’s that have NO loyalty or compassion for the American PEOPLE. Even though every one of these trust fund babies made their fortunes on the backs of American workers with infrastructure paid for by the average US taxpayer.

The Talis in NY got an old saying about former mayor Giuliani. Rudy got rid of the mafia in NYC and then the US government took over organized crime.

NOTE: I heard George W’s favorite movie was “Goodfellas”, lol.

*All the adults of my youth were Italian immigrants, so I’ve heard the stories about surviving WWII under Benito Mussolini. They suffered, they endured… and they damn well know a fascist police state when they see IT! So forgive my inbred hatred of anything even resembling totalitarian tyranny”.

Here's an update on that story talked about with Marcy Wheeler...

Let's spread this around and be the media a bit. Thanks for all you guys do. Peace.

Orangutan - thanks for update.

PLEASE ENJOY SOME OF THIS TOO

I heard Friday's Malloy program from middle of hour 2 to the end.

There was a protest of trucks that started in NJ and drove to Wash DC to protest high diesel prices in 2001. There were also high utility prices, exemplified by California's rolling blackouts that led to Gray Davis repeal election, in an energy price panic. The trucks parked on the Mall. The truck protest was on a weekday sometime between when W Bush stole office Jan 20 and July 2001.

As I listened to Brad and Marcy Wheeler discussing how these US DOJ/FBI-connected, private organizations were used to target with underhanded smears, first, the FARC, then so-called terrorists, then foreign journalists, like Julian Assange, and now, the Velvet Revolution, Stop the Chamber, and Brad Friedman, I could not help but think of the words of Pastor Martin Niemöller:

Our little chapter could start with, They came for ACORN, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't part of ACORN.

Every outlet of the alternative and non-commercial media, from the blogs, to Democracy Now, to PBS, if not those who aspire to journalism within the corporate media, should shine a light on this nefarious activity, and right soon.

We must expose it, and we must demand prosecution.

I remembered wrongly. Protests were by independent drivers, who didn't have big company to help with fuel costs (e.g. fleet credit card) to demand ending fuel tax temporarily to lower prices. Remind truck drivers the people we want accountability for started wars that raised fuel prices and blocked alternative fuels.
The truck protest in Wash, DC was in Feb 2000. Also one in 2004 in Los Angeles. Google the titles, in quote, of these two articles to see the full text.
