The American Whore Corps

BULLY BOY PRESS &   CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL-AID TABLE

HOW THEY RUSH TO WHORE FOR THE BASTARD CHILD WHO OCCUPIES THE WHITE HOUSE.  MR. TRASHY, OUR FIRST KNOWN PRESIDENT TO BE A BASTARD (HIS FATHER WAS MARRIED WHEN HE CAME TO HAWAII AND THEN ALLEGEDLY 'MARRIED' ANN DUNHAM -- THE U.S. DOES NOT RECOGNIZE BIGAMY.  THAT MAKES BARACK OUR FIRST BASTARD PRESIDENT.)

AP WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT, YEAH, KILLER BARRY'S GUTTING SOCIAL SECURITY, BUT HE'S RAISING TAXES ON THE WEALTHY!


YOU CAN'T CLAIM YOU WEREN'T PREPARED FOR THAT WHORING.

IN NOVEMBER KITCHEN TABLE ECONOMIST TRINA MCKINNON NOTED:

It's all a con game.  And I have about had with union leaders pimping this crap about "the rich will pay their share in taxes!"  F**k taxes.  Protect Social Security.  If the unions are worth a damn, they will stop worrying about presenting Barack as 'inspirational' and start drawing a line in the sand on Social Security.


AND SHE FURTHER EXPLAINED:

This is the con game the White House is playing.  They have been priming us for this fake for some time.  That's what the pretense of us versus them was all about in Barack's campaign.  As you may remember, Barack did not support the Occupy Movement.  No, they rushed to have it shut down.

So the idea that he gives a damn about us versus them?
Give me a damn break.
But we were supposed to be outraged at the rich (which does include Barack Obama) and feel like, "We are paying our share of taxes!  Why aren't they!"
And so now, having stoked our rage, they want to pretend that raising the tax rate on the rich makes up for gutting the safety net.
It does no such thing.
It puts no food in your mouth, it provides no safety for you in your old age.
You are being conned.  Attacks on Social Security, when they've been effective in the past, have always had to be bi-partisan.  It's no different now.


SO NOW THE CON'S BEING EXECUTED AND WHORES PASSING FOR REPORTERS TRY TO TRICK YOU.  REALITY: ANY TAX INCREASE?  IT WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE LAWYERS OF THE WEALTHY, WAYS AROUND WILL -- AS THEY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN -- BE FOUND.

AND IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE AN INCREASE IN TAXES DOESN'T GO INTO YOUR POCKET.  IT'S A CON JOB TO MAKE YOU FEEL THAT YOU'RE NOT REALLY LOSING OUT.  YOU ARE LOSING OUT.  THE COUNTRY IS LOSING OUT.

THE ONLY ONE'S DOING WELL?  THE WHORE CLASS PASSED OFF AS THE AMERICAN PRESS CORPS.

FROM THE TCI WIRE:


Before we get there, still on elections, we move over to Iraq which is gearing up for elections -- or that's what the press insists.  Only 12 of Iraq's 18 provinces are scheduled to vote April 20th in provincial elections.

1. Masoud Barzani ‏@masoud_barzani 8 Apr

   
   

   Kurdistan Region presidential and parliamentary elections will be held before Sep 8th, 2013. #Iraq #Kurdistan #elections

Barzani is the president of the Kurdistan Regional Government, the semi-autonomous region in northern Iraq. Erbil, Sulaymaniyah and Dohok Provinces make up the KRG.  That takes us from 12 to 15.  The other three provinces?

There's Kirkuk.

Kirkuk is disputed.  Baghdad and Erbil both claim the oil-rich province.  Chris Hill, failed US Ambassador to Iraq, infamously dismissed Kirkuk as an issue when appearing at his Senate confirmation hearing (see the March 25, 2009 snapshot and the March 26th one).  It's not 'a simple land dispute.'  A simple land dispute can be settled.

The Iraqi Constitution's Article 140 provided for the disputed regions.  It said that the prime minister would implement a census and hold a referendum and that would determine the fate.  Nouri is aware of that because he did participate in the writing of the Constitution.  He becomes prime minister in the spring of 2006.  The Constitution dictates that Article 140 be implemented by the end of 2007.  That was years ago.  It's never been implemented.  Nouri has failed to follow the Constitution.  And the result is that all this time later Kirkuk not only still remains in dispute, it also can't participate in provincial elections.

That takes us from 15 to 16 which still leaves 2 provinces not voting.  The other two?  Nouri has declared that Sunni strongholds Anbar Province and Nineveh Province will not vote.  He's declared them to violent, too prone to fraud, too this, too that.  Though the Electoral Commission is supposed to be independent and he doesn't sit on it, though the United Nations has said that the two provinces need to be included in the vote, Nouri says they won't vote.

As disturbing as that is, as huge an overstep as that is, what's even more alarming is how the western press whores for Nouri.  Alarming but not surprising.   March 8, 2010, we witnessed Quil Lawrence whoring for Nouri on NPR -- declaring Nouri got the most votes -- before even a third of the votes had been counted -- and, oh, by the way, Nouri's political slate State of Law didn't get the most votes, Iraqiya did.  But whoring is really all the press is good for.

Which is why they're running with the script he's supplying.  It's not reality but reality's never been a concern for the press.

The script Nouri's supplying is that the results of April 20th will demonstrate how popular he is.  Nouri will not win in the KRG.  That's three provinces.  Kirkuk's not voting.  That's four.  And the two provinces where Nouri is outright loathed?  He wouldn't carry Anbar or Nineveh.

Is Iraq made up of 18 provinces or not?  If it is, you can't judge popularity when you rig who gets to vote.  In addition, provincial elections can indicate national trends, they do not, however, reflect upon Nouri or anyone else who might be prime minister.  They're the equivalent, in the US, of election governors.  Barack Obama's popularity is not determined by who wins the governorship in Alaska or Alabama.  States are concerned with their own series of issues just as, in Iraq, provinces are concerned with their own issues.

Nouri tried to film this script in 2009 and the press was happy to greenlight it.  They ran with the nonsense -- all of them including the New York Times -- that it proved how Nouri was popular.  Yet the next year, as the same press was debating just how big of a win Nouri would have in the 2010 elections, Nouri didn't win.  His State of Law came in second.

It's amazing how damn lazy what passes for the western press is.  They can't think for themselves which is why they can't carry out the press corp role which is supposed to be skepticism.  They can't think for themselves so they swallow and spit back out any 'theme' someone feeds them.  If the 12 provincial elections this month are worth watching, they're worth watching only to see just how much whoring a lazy press can do.

And Iraqi media?  Al Hayat reports that TV stations in Iraq -- controlled by various political parties -- are pushing candidates but not informing their viewers of the candidate's platforms and Iraqi TV correspondents complain that it is difficult to get interviews with candidates, that when they do get interviews and difficult to hold candidates accountable -- and that's if you're state media and not technically controlled by a political party. 




The Kurdistan Region Presidency notes that KRG President Masoud Barzani met with the US State Dept's Brett McGurk this week to discuss tensions between Baghdad and Erbil: "President Barzani stressed the importance of genuine partnership and consensus-based decision-making in the Iraqi government and restated Kurdistan Regions position toward the political process in the country.  He added that a good start would be for the Iraqi government to undertake some concrete steps towards the resolution of the problems facing the country."  To empthasize the main point, Barzani Tweeted:
