The Ultimate Golden Parachutes

Well by now we all know about Ken Lay, who was the founder of Enron and was convicted for securities fraud a couple of months ago and how he died of a massive corinary yesterday. When I first heard the news I thought perhaps it was God judging him and sending him to face judgement a little earlier than planned. I mused on whether or night he might have been preached to and accepted Jesus at the last moment and gotten to heaven. Well, it turns out yesterdays hypothetical theory is today's reality. Lay was a devout and favored church member in Houston so his standing with the Lord is good and solid. Of course his fellow churchmen are all sympathetic to him and his family and are sad that he's gone. They see him as a good guy. In the world of Ken Lay he can die and basically pick up where he left off being chummy with rich people and thumbing his nose at the rank and file investor. He hurt a lot of people financially. He rigged the economic statistics to indicate the Corporation was in far better financial shape than it was. When bankruptsy finally came, Ken Lay has his "golden parachute". He could retire in style and confort while investors and holders of pension funds and stock holders all took a bath financially, and were wiped out. Of course he's friends with President Bush but we can't be sure how friendly because the President obviously wants to downplay the relationship. Really they should rewrite scripture to say, "How difficult it is for a poor man to get into the Kingdom of Heaven" because if you're poor you're looked down upon. Gene Scott seemed to have conflicts with people who complained about all the reserved seats that apparently wern't properly marked- that were set aside for Rich People, his favored friends. You know the saying, "Money doesn't talk; it swares". If you are rich you can buy respectability. Of course you know about Chelsea on Days of our Lives. Chelsea's grandmother, Kate basically bought off a cop to supress evidence, thus perverting justice. Rich people want the estate tax done away with so all of that "obscene wealth" can remain and grow unabaited. We know how the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

What corporations are doing is mis figuring the pension funds by mixing in the pensions of the CDO's in with the workers when it comes to judging whether the "funds" have "sufficient amounts of money" to pay out, and if the don't then the workers' pensions get cut but not that of the C E O's. Also there is some Republican bill to retroactively forgive all of the suits by workers against pension funds. Of course to hear Rush Limbaugh or Larry Elder talk, pensions are too big of an expense of corporations opperating budget anyhow.

It would seem as if there is some cosmic hand directing events to insure that Christianity is the exclusive domain of right wing Republicans. I haven't heard much from Bob Dylan lately. Of course I have always disliked his song "Searve Somebody" because it contradicts every former Dylan axiom such as "Don't follow leaders". Of course the Asshole from El Paso is another pastor who has gotten where he is by preaching hate and prejudice. Christianity didn't start out that way, but this is what it's become. I think the time has come when Christianity will undergo a gigantic spiritual Civil War, and that day may already be here. All of these biggots who blaspheme the core (former) principles of Christianity every time they open their mouths such as Larry Elder, are really, in a spiritual sense, tools of Satan. This church of today which caters to the rich and con men and crooks, is just the sort of Church that makes Satan very happy. I guess I just have to wonder just as there is often some insestuous love affair between the democratic and republican parties, where God and Satan don't have some back door compromize deal going down. I think the trends of today will become increasingly more and more apparent wich each passing year and each passing decade.

Joe Lieberman has his own version of the "golden parachute" in the 2000 election. If Joe would have won, because of the fact he was running for the senate, that seat would have fallen into Republican hands, according to KTLK radio, and the Republicans could have organized the senate. At least when Johnson ran for the senate in 1960 the seat was safe regardless. It seems that Lieberman places his own electoral securety ahead of party loyalty. Now Joe is running as an independant and as a democrat at the same time. He's going to lose his primary election in Conneticut and he wants to run as an independant in the general election and get the endourcements of people such as Anne Coulter and Sean Hannity. I think Senator Joe is on his way out regardless. There'll be one less Presidential stalking horse in the senate.

The whole thing with North Korea and the seven missile launchings will probably ammount to nothing. They are flexing their muscles and are proving impotent to launch even a missile they had successfully launched in 1998. We're worried about a missile they've had for eight years. Of course our space shuttles opperate on technology of the late 'seventies. That's a real eye opener. The thing is if John Kerry did as little about the N C missile launchings as Bush has done all these republicans would be lining up to say what a weak President Kerry was.

In the Rolling Stone recently there was an artical about the Presidential election fraud in Ohio and elsewhere and I would refer you to that. All of the Exit polls indicated Kerry would be our next president and there was a 6.5% disparity between this Exit poll and the actual results. Joseph Stalin once said, "I don't care who votes' it's who counts the ballots that counts". Well the Secretary of State in Ohio was a Republican and he threw out three hundred thousand ballots right off the bat. Eighty thousand more votes were abartrarily switched from John Kerry to George Bush. Exit poll experts say such a divergence from projections is virtually unheard of, and in fact in other countries Exit polls are used to pinpoint election fraud later on. There were only four states where Kerry out performed the Exit polls. In the other 46 states Bush came out ahead. In areas where Bush was the furthest ahead the Exit polls trailed by over ten percent of the actual results. One looking at the results would say ballots were double counted that were pro Bush. But there was a massive cover-up by the media and the people at the national TV Networks in New York. In fact in internet sites they actually withdrew the actual Exit poll numbers and replaced them with other numbers so people wouldn't get suspicious. People like Tom Brokov made statements such as "Exit polls are an inexact science even today", which is not the case. The point is that this great "Mandate" of 51% of the votes Bush claims to have had is a myth. We need to insure this doesn't happen again.

This blog has gone nearly 24 hours without posting. If it continues not to post I'll "mouse" it off of this edit page and start a whole other blog where I don't have these sorts of problems. This is exactly why I don"t "stack" blog postings more than I do.

There is a letter varification on this page as well as the next page. Normally I don't have the slide bar down this low. Perhaps this has affected posting. The Joe Lieberman - Ned Lemont debate was last night and Ed Schultz is discussing it today on July 7th. a day after the rest of the blog post. I would vote for Ned Lemont if I were in Conneticut and a Democrat.
