the Blog of Shame

The President is a Mobster.

Even Al Capone knows, don't argue with the motherfuckin shrub. W's recent admission of spying on US citizens without court approval should come as no surprise to those who have some idea where the administration is coming from. Just call them the neo-con Mob. They've got more power than Gambino ever dreamed of, and are a more ruthless pack of politicians than Nixon and his crew.

The media seems generally shocked, or at least pissed about this latest revelation. But, the NYTimes has known about this for at least a year, and sat on it at the behest of the White House. Do laws apply anymore? And exactly how many news sources are complete bitches to the Wmob? The list would hurt my head, as I pound it into the screen.

Condi simply smiled and spewed nonsense and untrue statements, as usual. "I am not a lawyer... But this was surely within the President's powers", this is meant to assure me that only a few people are being watched and listened to, you know, those terrorists... and Quakers (only one of the peace groups carefully watched by the federal government).

Seriously, I want to hear a genuinely good reason why the Prez couldn't operate within the law; going to the court which exists for this very reason and having the court authorize the domestic spying. There isn't one. The press sees this, and most of congress understands this. They failed to renew the Patriot Act, thankfully it should be whittled down to eliminate some of the more gross infractions of civil liberties.

I believe it was Michael Corleone who said "Politics and crime are the same thing." Not so true, apparently George W. is above the law, he says so. I mean really, who is going to do anything about this or any of the scores of things this mob leader should be charged with? Surely not the Congress or Senate, which are the only bodies with the authority to do anything. President gone insane or mad with power? Nothing the nation can do, the people are powerless.

Let us look at what the DEA did this week: in an apparent coalition between county and federal officials, 14 medical marijuana dispensaries in San Diego were raided. By raided I mean, many officers busted down the door with guns drawn in patient and employee's faces, got them handcuffed and on the ground, uprooted all live plants, carted away all medicine, took all money (not only cash register, but money in patient and employee wallets), and took all records, including medical records. I know the people this happened to, the gestapo tactics have hit home. The entire city of San Diego had no medicine for people that suffer with ailments that are alleviated by Dr. recommended marijuana. The people of CA voted for compassion in dealing with this issue, and the federal government has overstepped democracy. This uncivil and illogical move shows clearly the measures which our Mob government are glad to take. Couldn't they have sent lawyers into the peaceful stores, believe me none of these guys were violent drug sellers, they were natural pharmacists.

Shutting down the dispensaries simply forces patients to go back to the black market, an unsure and unfit market for medical purposes. How is the underground a better setting than a legal storefront from any socially conscious perspective? But fuck em, two new stores opened up the day after the raids. 150,000 Californian medical users can't be silenced, even by the Wmob.

Torture, spy, silence, kill... the Wmob's out to destroy the people's will.

cant even be free in our own land. the wicked man turn it into battleground
