Hello Fatty!


Fun Shoe
I think we can be taking better advantage of the fact that Americans are the stupidest loving people on the planet when it comes to politics. Here's a few rumors I'd like people to start spreading:

-Bernie Sanders got his medal of honor for taking a Bullet for Bo Obama while at a White House brunch.
-In ancient Rome there was a political party that was the functional equivalent of today's Socialist party and Jesus was a member. It's in the bible you can look it up.
-Republicans have on three separate occasions tried to ban seeing eye dogs because they believe that blind people understanding their environment defies the will of God.
-Bernie sanders is ahead in the polls among all age groups and is considered a shoe-in for the nomination.
-86% of all firefighter, police, veterans and business associations have already thrown their support behind Bernie Sanders for president.

you don't even need to lie about the bible you can take entire chapters from the gospels and a lot of verse from acts and the epistles and put it side by side to anything bernie says and there's probably a lot overlap

yeah but you have to read it in the context of the times. what seemed like socialism and caring for each other back then actually translates to the rich being rewarded by jesus for their pure hearts and the poor being righteously punished for their sins in modern times. haven't you ever been to church?

True but I find that Christians are easier to convince if you just lie about stuff. The more stupid-sounding the lie the better.

Usury is what revolutionary Christianity was all about and it's a big reason Islam causes such headaches for the western financial regimes, they're some of the only people who listened to Jesus instead of wearing his execution device in battle while keeping your subjects from charging interest on loans to you while using your court Jew to charge interest on your lending


For real Christianity in Europe was a big cultural scam to mistreat your people

Does anyone have the video of the CEO talking about the consequences of outsourcing from back during the Clinton years (I think they were talking about NAFTA). My favorite part is the Clinton official coming on afterwords and explaining how moving all jobs to India will result in prosperity for all. She even gave it the cute nickname of "Economic Liberalization".

Corporations love stuff like NAFTA since it makes outsourcing easier and allows allows them to flood the local markets with heavily subsidized US products like corn.

For the US NAFTA led to big job losses in auto and electronics manufacturing.

I mean, literally, a few thousand Nader protest votes in Florida would have swung the election to Gore and America and the world would have been spared the Dark Ages that have since been unleashed. An amazing demarcation line in history, really. And it all swung on the opinions of a few thousand idiots.
