Disguised as common sense, neo-fascist venom makes its rounds on the internet. Represented and supported by the Dissemination Committee, Jesus of Nazareth son of God, hopes to become US president and stop such disguised neo-fascism.

If you copy and paste the following the following into a Google search, you will see a prime example of propaganda that is spread all over the internet and attempts to manifest itself in the consciousness of any American who has access to the internet, which in our current age is most of us: 


If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 yrs. hard labor. If you cross the Afghanistan border illegally, you get shot. Two Americans just got eight years for crossing the Iranian border. If you cross the U. S. border illegally you get a job, a drivers license, food stamps, a place to live, health care, housing & child benefits, education, & a tax free business for 7 yrs ...No wonder we are a country in debt. Re-post if you agree..


How the Dissemination Committee responds to such contemporary right-wing propaganda: 


We do not agree, therefore we will certainly not repost nor will we take part in this right-wing charade of blaming the most powerless among us for our tanked economy. What makes the above rhetoric does is similar to blaming a person hit by a bus driven by a drunk driver on the fact a person wanted to do was cross the street.  


Let Jesus of Nazareth son of God further explain our position: 

The borders of this great American nation of ours should be open to anyone from any country and those who turn up on our soil, rich in the blood of massacred Indians (the feather Indians not the Dot Indians that make kick ass curry) be granted full citizenship and be given the same perks we Americans only sometimes cherish.

This is one of the few decent things we can do as proud Americans who are lucky enough to have been born in the greatest country in the world. For far too long have our awesome corporate way of life left its detrimental footprint on the natural resources possessed by other countries who are all too often defenseless. While wrecking environmental havoc in these countries, we also committing grave human rights abuses in the process. Look at Dow Chemical in India, Coca-Cola in Columbia, and United Fruit in Latin American. Furthermore, and make no mistake about it, NAFTA - the North American Free Trade Agreement - signed into effect by that great liberal Bill Clinton - has been an economic and environmental nightmare for much of the Mexican population. What these totally awesome overseas business ventures have done is shine a light upon and exemplify how much better our ways of free market capitalism is to any other alternative that that would put people over profit. 



Every time us Americans start dropping bombs in the name of democracy and security on innocent civilians far away in places with strange names most Americans are too busy playing Angry Birds to learn how to pronounce correctly, it's obviously America that's doing the fucking. And what good sweet fuckers we are...Everybody around the world wants to fuck like us, especially the UK whose banking and financial malfeasance makes our own American banking thieves like Goldman Sachs, MF Global, and Country-Wide envious. China wants to be like us too. They even have their own version of Google, although our Google is way better because nobody censors us...Those Chinese bastards will have to learn that if you want to be the best fucker on the block, you have to give your citizens a little freedom every now and then to criticize the government. Luckily what the Chinese have learned from our best corporations is how to disregard labor and environmental laws, which is a very good thing because it allows our favorite companies like Wal-Mart and Apple to come in, set up shop and reek huge profits. And we all know in the new century we've embarked upon not much as changed except decades ago the saying what was good for General Motors was good for America has changed to what's good for Wal-Mart and Haliburton is good for America!

So I, Jesus Of Nazareth son of God, in my campaign to become President of the United States am running under the platform that we as Americans continue the good fuck, but let's give some other people a turn in the fucking. If we don't allow the Mexicans who come fleeing into our country feeling from the savage drug cartel violence that has a little something to do with our love of cocaine and heroin, or the Mexican farmers who can no longer survive due to the cimmerian consequences of NAFTA,  after overcoming dangerous and life threatening challenges, and give them such human rights as health care and education, then we as Americans have no lived up to our end of the bargain. It's these human rights rich Republicans believe are luxuries. Those in the GOP have duped the average Tea Party slug into believing illegal immigrants are given the key to the city once they arrive, or should I say key to the country?

Because I am the son of God, I can tell you with 100% accuracy, those so-called "illegals", a dehumanizing term, have a lot more in common with an unemployed Tea Partier whose job was outsourced to some developing third world country. Both groups are victims of the totalitarian nature that is global capitalism. It grinds Jesus' gears that Republicans and Tea Party poltroons backed by the John Birch Society ideological beliefs and wealth held by the Koch Brothers, have done everything in its power to legitimize malfeasance. They will stoop so low as to use the classic method and cliche of scapegoating, as demonstrated by the countless examples throughout history, some not well know and some very well know - hello, Germany 1933, are you there?

But I, Jesus of Nazareth son of God, have an even bigger problem than that of the far-right. The ultimate in gear grindage are those liberal and moderate Democrats who just stand by and let what is now popularly referred to as the "one percent" do exactly the opposite of what I preached 2000 years ago before I was executed by the Romans.

With all that being said, vote for me, Jesus of Nazareth son of God, come this November. My campaign slogan is a simple one, give somebody else a chance to do some fucking for once. If elected president, I promise to give every illegal immigrant family an unlimited lifetime gift card to Wal-Mart courtesy of Wal-Mart. How could Wal-Mart say no to my plan? After all, I am the the son of God. 


So after you read this, please begin chanting, the Son of God for President!

Proof the NYC Dept of Ed hires yuppie teacher-bashing assholes to become teachers who disguise their motives as wanting to bring about change.

In the context of education reform, change is such a pernicious word. - The Dissemination Committee 

Posted below is an article from yesterday's Daily News about  teacher evaluations written by former teacher NYC public school teacher, Alexander Nazaryan. Obviously the classroom wasn't for him and doing hack work for the Daily News, in the interest of the Dept of Ed, seems to be a perfect fit.


http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/teacher-evaluation-faking-success-york-city-school-system-fooling-kids-article-1.1006336 Check out the comments section. This guy Alexander Nazaryan sucks

 I know the attitude Nazaryan carries all too well. Back in the South Bronx, I remember brand-spranking new teachers, recent graduates from prestigious colleges, barely old enough to drink, rolling their eyes during union meetings, snubbing their noses towards veteran teachers, and believing they were the solution to a decaying system; they were often recruited to teach through Teach for America, believing wholeheartedly the dogmatic rhetoric about teacher accountability and the importance of high-stakes standardized testing advocated by so-called education reformers like Wendy Knopp (founder of Teacher for America), Mayor Bloomberg, and the reincarnation of Satan herself, former Washington DC school superintendent, Michelle Rhee.

One common trait of the teachers I worked with who shared similar views to Nazaryan was that most were born outside of the New York City metropolitan area and understood the city, not as a New Yorker, but as a cultural tourist and parasite who would write smug emails to their friends back home in the Midwest about how cool it was to watch a few black and latino kids breakdance on the subway, further solidifying the unspoken idea and belief that non-white inner-city kids had to either assilimate into the dominant American hegemony of the ruling elite, sweeping away any kind of dissent regarding social justice, or just continue living like a ghetto savage.

Obama's response to Matt Damon quotes long forgotten rock band Tool

Responding to Matt Damon's recent comments in Elle magazine that he is a one term president, amongst other criticism, President Obama pulled no punches.


"I've got some advice for you, little buddy. Before you point your finger. You should know that
I'm the man and if I'm the man, then you're the man, and he's the man as well so you can point that fuckin' finger up your ass. All you know about me is what I've sold you, dumb fuck. I sold out long before you ever even heard my name." 

Unbeknownst to anyone who did not graduate high school in the 1990s, the President, in his hostile reaction to Damon's comments had borrowed a few lines from the rock band Tool's 1996 song "Hooker with a Penis". 




Half of America In Poverty? The Facts Say It's True

Florence Owens Thompson
With everybody you know owning an iPhone or some sort of cell phone device with a screen the size of a postcard, bright enough to illuminate the entire North Pole during winter, who knew half of America was in poverty?

Written by Paul Buchheit. Published on Tuesday, December 27, 2011 by Commondreams.org  


Recent reports suggest that almost 50% of Americans are in poverty or at a "low income" level. The claim is based on a new supplemental measure by the Census Bureau that includes health care, transportation, and other essential living expenses in the poverty calculation.
The concept of "low income" is controversial. It has been defined as earnings between 100 and 199 percent of the poverty level, a claim which, if true, would place every American family making $50,000 or less at a near-poverty level.
Conservative organizations believe the whole 'poverty' issue is overblown. The Cato Institute blames LBJ and Obama for reversing a declining poverty rate. Forbes blames the calculations. The Heritage Foundation argues, "The average poor person, as defined by the government, has a living standard far higher than the public imagines...In the kitchen, the household had a refrigerator, an oven and stove, and a microwave." The case for a growing "consumption equality" is alternately defended and denied.
With emotions running high on both sides, we need to take a balanced look at the available data to determine how well the highest-earning family of the poorest 50% -- a family with a $50,000 income -- can survive. (The maximum individual income for the poorest 50% is about $30,000.)
Start with taxes. It is frequently noted by conservatives that the richest 1% pay most of the federal income taxes, and indeed they paid about 37 percent in 2009, more than the poorest 90% of Americans. But only the richest 5% of Americans have experienced income growth since 1980. And during that time, their tax rate has dropped from 34% to 23%. As for the 3 percent rate paid by the poorest 50%, the Tax Policy Center sums it up nicely: "The basic structure of the income tax simply exempts subsistence levels of income from tax."
More relevant to the poverty issue is that federal income tax is only a small part of the tax expense for lower-income families. According to a study by The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, the poorest 50% paid about 10 percent of their incomes in state and local taxes (the richest 1% paid 5 percent). Congressional Budget Office (CBO) figures reveal that the bottom 50% pays about 9 percent of their incomes toward social security (the top 1% pays just under 2 percent). CBO also shows that the bottom 50% is paying about 2 percent of their incomes on excise taxes, a negligible expense for the people at the top. Another year of Bush tax cuts will chop another 1-2 percent off the taxes of the very rich.
So total taxes for the poorest 50% are 24 percent of their incomes (3% + 10% + 9% + 2%), as compared to 29 percent for the richest 1% (23% + 5% + 2% - 1%).
Other significant expenses for low-income people, based on the most conservative estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Census Bureau, the National Center for Children in Poverty, the Carsey Institute, and the Economic Policy Institute, include food (10%), housing (27%), transportation (6%), health care (5%), child care (8%), and household expenditures (5%). Expenses for insurance and savings and entertainment, although important to most households, are not being included here.
Energy costs hit low-income families especially hard, taking about 20% of their incomes. At the $50,000 income level the burden is closer to 12%, as generally agreed upon by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the American Gas Association.
Total expenses for the richest family in the bottom half of America?
  • 24% taxes
  • 27% housing
  • 34% food, health care, child care, transportation, household needs
  • 12% energy
That's 97% of their income. The richest family among 70,000,000 households is left with just $1,500 for a car, appliances, a TV, a cell phone, a loan repayment, an occasional night out. It comes to $30 a week, barely enough to take the family out for a pizza.
Critics bemoan the amounts of aid being lavished on lower-income Americans, making dubious claims about $16,800 in government funds going to every poor family and families with $90,000 incomes being classified as "near poor."
The fact is that only 4,375,000 families (out of 70,000,000 in the bottom half) received Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) in 2010, for a total expense of about $36 billion. Current federal budgets include about $350 billion for food, housing, and traditional 'welfare' programs for needy children, elderly care, and energy assistance. This averages out to about $400 per month per family.
Another fact is that earnings have remained flat for most people while productivity has grown 80% since 1980. If a $50,000 family had received a fair share from their contribution to America's growth, they'd be making $90,000, and they wouldn't need a dime from government.
Conservatives complain about the TVs and refrigerators owned by low-income people. But it's the height of insensitivity to admonish people who are trying to survive in a perversely unequal society.

Only two good things came out of Houston: D.R.I. and Bill Hicks

And they both did, not only an excellent job at exposing American hypocrisy through their art, but made an everlasting impact. How many hardcore and thrash bands tried to sound like D.R.I. in the late 80s and into the 90s? How many stand-up comedians would sell their kids into slavery to have just a morsel of Bill Hick's talent?

Chuck D visits Long Island hip hop landmarks...

Anybody who knows anything about the development of hip hop in the early 80s knows cats like Spectrum City (comprised of Hank Shocklee, Keith Shocklee, and Chuck D) out in Roosevelt were making just as much noise as cats in the city. Staring in 1979 as a Long Island mobile DJ unit, Spectrum City later released one twelve inch in 1984 called "Lies/Check Out the Radio".



Here is a priceless story of Spectrum City - http://citinite.wordpress.com/2008/01/23/spectrum-city/
