SF citizens are eager to name a sewage plant after G.W. Bush.
Looking to honor the forty-third President of the United States of America, George W. Bush, the recently formed Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco is looking to change the name of the Oceanside Wastewater Treatment Facility. It seems the group would like to rename the SF Zoo adjacent facility to the ‘George W Bush Sewage Plant’
From their official proposal:
Just as France presented the Statue of Liberty as its gift to the nation, the citizens of San Francisco may now bestow their own special gift to the country by renaming our award winning waste water treatment plant in honor of outgoing President George W Bush. We think this is a fitting memorial for a truly outstanding Commander-in-Chief. On matters ranging from diplomacy to fiscal and environmental stewardship, no other President has had such a dramatic impact on the country and the Constitution in such a short time. Most presidents wait years or decades to receive their memorial airport or highway. We think President Bush deserves immediate recognition for his eight years of public service.
Critics of this measure point out that the initiative unfairly maligns the talented and hard working staff at the award-winning plant or that it memorializes an administration best forgotten. To this we simply say that those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. President Bush has left us with a gigantic mess, and that this facility symbolizes the city’s deft ability to clean up its share of the financial and diplomatic mess left in this administration’s wake. It will also become the world’s first presidential sewage plant, a potential tourist attraction, and therefore an opportunity for the dedicated plant workers to educate visitors about this essential and heretofore unknown public works. This measure will have a minimal fiscal impact and may increase tourist traffic to the plant, Zoo, and nearby attractions in southwest San Francisco, creating yet another quirky must-see destination along with our cable cars, Haight St, and Beach Blanket Babylon.
Fellow San Franciscans, we urge you to vote Oui! on November 4th.
Have you ever heard of a “bust out.” It is a scam to make money.
“The scam works as follows: an organized crime group takes over a business, borrows as much as it can in the business’ name, fails to pay vendors and then disappears with all the cash.
The Bush family and its associates in organized crime and the CIA have figured out how to run this scam on a multi-hundred billion dollar level using the entire US banking system as its playground.”

The three largest bust outs in history:
The so-called “Savings and Loan Crisis” of the late 80s
The so-called “Tech Bubble” of the late 90s
The so-called “Credit Crisis” of today
How does it work?
“Bankers” trade some widget amongst themselves. The widget has no value but the back and forth trading gives it value. The widget could be Junk bonds, internet stocks, or in the case of today, sub prime mortgages. Others are brought into the game and sooner or later everyone is buying the widgets in a frenzy.
But eventually the widget has to be redeemed. Eventually you have to take your tokens to the counter and exchange them for real money. But like the US dollar that is no longer backed by gold, the widgets have no real value except for the perceived value. So when you try to redeem them you get nothing. And the whole game falls apart.
By then a lot of people have made hugs profits on the pyramid scheme.
But the the real pay day is still to come.
The US government, “in the interest of the people and the health of the economy”, takes tax payer money and “bails out” the “ailing” companies. These companies are run by real people. The “bail out” is real money from real tax payers that goes into the pockets of real people. These are the same real people who made huge profits selling empty widgets.
So not only are they already incredibly well off, but now they get even more money.
The whole process is a two tiered scam of moving money from many to a few. And the government, which is supposed to look after its constituents, acts as the middle man to collect the money from the people in the form of taxes and pass it onto these crooks under the guise of a “bail out”.
Is there a mortgage crisis? Yes! We have all bought into the real estate hype. We have all borrowed money in the form of equity from houses whose value is based on the over zealous perception of all of our fantasies. Is the house really worth that much? It is if we all say so….but it isn’t worth much if you can’t pay the mortgage and nobody can buy it. And that is where we are at now.
So now these financial institutions need to be bailed out because if they aren’t the economy will fall. Lets refrase that: The institutions, which are based on empty widgets, will go out of business. If they go out of business apparently the rest of us who service the people who run those institution will not have wealthy clients any more and we will hurt as well.
But wait a minute. It is a whole house of cards. What are we bailing out? Businesses that trade empty widgets. They should be put out of business. We shouldn’t be serving these people anyway. Our economy should be based on more solid interactions. Maybe some people won’t get outrageously wealthy. But the rest of us will have a more fulfilling economy.
But no, the Bush and Co. crooks are rushing to “bail out” their crook friends. I read in the NY times today that the number is 700 Billion. His package is swift and efficient. The proposal is less than three pages long. It gives the Treasury, supposedly an institution that looks after the people, total control to buy and sell the mortgages as it wishes. Using out money!!!
To give a little perspective. When Katrina hit New Orleans the aid package was slow and inefficient. From my recollection it was around 60 billion, less than one tenth the package Bush wants to give Wall Street. Thats probably the difference between the average income between a New Orleans resident and a financial person on wall street. i.e. A New Orleans resident might make $20,000 a year and the average Wall Street person might make $200,000 per year.
But New Orleans has very few Bush friends. Him and his company have very little to gain by helping New Orleans.
But “bailing out” the golden It is a total fucking scam! It is a scam to pass even more little people money to the crooks of wall street.
The economy is high on empty widgets! It does not belong that high. It is artificial.
And another thing: what crisis? I had the privilege of going to a soiree this week in Manhattan where a small group of influential people got together to network. Among them was a high ranking director of Morgan Stanley.
He stated that Morgan Stanley is far from hurting financially. It has billions in cash reserves. Hmmm…. what crisis? He didn’t see one. He says that whats going on now is just a move to create larger more international banks. He says that eventually there will be just a few very large international banks….
I didn’t share with him my opinion on the whole thing because I am admittedly a total peon in financial knowledge and would come across as some conspiracy guy (which I am, but he sees conspiracy theories as stupid where I see them as worth looking into to see if they might have truth).
His opinions are based on seeing the financial numbers of the economy. My opinions are based on my personal common sense and what I gleam from alternative news sources (I only read the NY times when my rich neighbor throws it out unread). So we differ in perspective.
I’m not judging here. I prefer my perspective despite the power his perspective still holds in the world as it is now. I am looking into the “what if” as an idealist. He is looking into how to make himself and his company billions. Both powerful sights to set on.
I’ve gone off a bit. Main Point: the bail out is a scam. Why are we bailing out gold cuff link guys who already made billions on our backs? Because the government is a facade to falsely act in our favor while passing money from us (the masses who are not billionaires) to the powerful and already rich.
It is repeated over and over. Look at the wars Bush and Co. create so that they can justify giving our money to their private institutions (arms makers to blow it all up then contractors to build it back again in an ongoing circle of carnage and stupidity). But that’s another story….
We are watching a BUST OUT of our nation! Bush and Co. has taken over the United States and is using it as their own company to borrow money in our name (we owe almost $11 TRILLION and counting). They get the money. But we have to pay it back.
Remember Brasscheck.TV’s definition of a Bust Out:
“an organized crime group takes over a business, borrows as much as it can in the business’ name, fails to pay vendors and then disappears with all the cash.”
Our country is being run into the ground by crooks and criminals. Bush may be the most unpopular president in history but do you think he cares? He has successfully made billions for his people. He is the most popular president in history for the elite. And that is who feeds him. We are being swindled in broad daylight. Like lambs we watch as the wolves run around us.
I remember when the Anthrax “scare” happened after the 9/11 attacks. The timing seemed very, well, perfect.
It turns out that the strains of anthrax came from a military base and not this lone guy who the FBI claimed did it. More than that, many of the investigators on the 9/11 case were pulled away to deal with this new “threat”. Hmmm……conspiracy theory?
I am not sure but the fact remains that the anthrax came from a military base.
But there is more. Bush and Co. make a lot of money selling Anthrax to Iraq. If you don’t believe me go to BrassCheck.tv
But there is more. Bush and Co. sold a lot of Anthrax to Iraq. And then they sold a lot of Antrax ANTIDOTE to the military for US soldiers in Iraq. Hmmmm….. Bayer was involved and of course Rumsfeld. It turns out biological warfare even though theoretically illegal is a lucrative business….
Bush and Co. is a criminal. That is pretty much accepted by the majority of US and the vast majority of the world. So let’s put him in jail. It would be so satisfying! It doesn’t undo the total carnage and waste he has laid on the world but it sure would be fun!
I mean other rulers get tried by the international tribunal. The only reason it is unthinkable that the president of the US should be tried and prosecuted is that we are still holding on to the outdated and probably never true belief that US leaders are morally correct leaders of the “free world”?
I’m not sure if you have used any of your senses in the past fifty years but if you had you would have noticed that the US has worked closely with and often funded many dictators. US money is behind many massacres in South America, the Middle East and beyond. We don’t exactly have clean hands. Despite the immense power the US has had that kept it above the law, we are slowly coming down and sooner or later the law will very much be on top of us.
It is not like the US is terrible. It is a great place and freedom is everywhere. The good life can be had. I live a great life. But the days where US foreign policy was one of world dominion are gradually waning. We will increasingly not be able to ride the backs of the rest of the world so we can enjoy our abundance and opulence.
Firstly they want the abundance and opulence too. And there just isn’t enough for all of us to live at that level. Secondly as they grow in power and we wane in power they have more ability to tell us how to live and not the other way around.
What will happen? I suspect we will meet in between. They will get more and we will get less. Which isn’t a bad thing. When you are living off two dollars a day it doesn’t take much to feel you are getting richer. And when you are living off the excessive fat of the land like most in the US do, it isn’t too painful to loose a couple pounds.
The truth is that despite the huge amount of consumption in the US, the is extreme poverty. This is because the resources are being mismanaged. Your typical obese poor person clearly shows that they do not lack for food. They simply lack for good, healthy food, which can actually be cheaper than the over packaged crap they consume.
The solution here in the US is to restructure the way we consume and what we consume so that it is less but of higher quality. And abroad other countries need to grow in that same direction instead of along the road the US has already traveled, which will get us all nowhere.
Anyway, I started this post because I wanted to share this news clip from MSNBC. I didn’t catch the name of the presenter in this clip but she is spunky and I like her style. Go Girl!
This video shows a Bush turncoat revealing how the Bush administration fed Fox news exactly what kind of news to air. Duh. I watched Fox news for five minutes a couple years ago before I decided it would be more fun to rub my face in dog shit.
This video of Vincent Bugliosi shows in clear words how large of a lie it was to say we needed to go to war on Iraq and how George and Co. acted as murderers. Very worth watching because it has the power to lul you out of your daily life and shift your view to what is happening on a worldly level.
I keep wanting to know WHY Bush and Co. felt justified to create the war. What great gain could possibly justify destroying a country and killing so many people? Was it just the money they would make from “rebuilding” Iraq? Was it the control they would gain over oil pipelines? What pot of gold are they after? Or is it some ideological game they are playing? Could it possibly be a deluded Christian attempt to kill Muslims? Hell, I have no idea!
