       2. Honest work for honest pay, please.

 

 

I hope you agree that the money is good  as well as  healthcare, White House,  staff, pension, Secret Service and  local gym.  As such  I expect honesty and 110% effort. No more lies. Your predecessor  lied his ears off. So did  his  team. They lied about the elections, lied about 9/11, lied about WMD, lied about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, lied about  the ‘War on Terror’, lied about the casualties, lied about  Katrina, lied about climate changes, lied about the economy, lied  about  everything. They literally ‘lied even to the fish’ As a result  they distributed the lying attitude  among other  people until we  became a country of lying suckers. You yourself, (sorry, no offense) lied many times  through the campaign. Of course, it was needed, I understand. But  even  in that case it was embarrassing  to see you lying by perceptions when you (looking sideways) declared that you would  ‘get  Bin Ladin’ or  scolded Russia  for  the Georgian war (which, as  you surely knew, was provoked deliberately from the US).  You know, Barry, you  are not a good liar. You do not have a proper training like  Cheney and you are not a nutcase like Bush. It is not natural for you. You are a normal human being, so stop  lying, talking nonsense and making stupid sounds. That does not become you.  And I will spot it immediately.


 3. Power to honest and qualified.

Barack, you surely listened  to the recent  Congressional hearings when Alan Greenspan was questioned. When asked about the economic disaster looming that crocodile  calmly answered that  he happened to make a mistake in his model of the world. And  he got away with it!  My own servants not only let the thief go but actually praised him. No more, I warn you. I am really mad.

I want my household to be run by honest people whom I can trust. I cannot trust people who are either totally stupid like Bush, totally vampirish  like Cheney or are exceptional crooks like Paulson.  Does he think I was born yesterday?  As if I do not remember that Commodity Trade Act ( sponsored by Orrin Hatch and signed by Billy,  the  Monikaguy, BTW) from which all that deregulation disaster emerged? As if I don’t understand that the  oil prices phantasmagoria  is a part of the plan and as if I cannot  go to   foreign sources and read  about  it in details.  I hate to be duped.  One more such crook, Barry and you can kiss your ‘people’s love’ good- buy.

That brings me to the people you seem to have lined up for the key positions.  I don’t like them. None of them.  In general, they are  all Clintonian Zombies (not my definition but it works). Mr. Emanuel, OK you like him.  But  he is seemingly unstable, he is a former Washington insider and  as such surely does not qualify as  an  honest, Sorry.  Hey, I have seen that questionnaire of yours,  the applicants for  the plum jobs have to fill. Did Rahm Emanuel fill that too? His ties to Israel are  tighter than the boarding ropes of some ships. His father lives there and even talks, unfortunately. Couldn’t you find someone less ‘connected’ and more qualified?

And what about  Mr. Summers, the one candidate for .. OMG, Treasury Secretary?  Is that the same Summers who was deemed insane on  one of the meetings in the World Bank where he suggested to  just dump all our pollution in Africa with the idea that people there would anyway die prematurely and as such will not experience the long- term harmful effects?  I think that’s the one. Did he fill the questionnaire?  Hey, there are literally hundreds honest, young, hardworking  financial geniuses- pick one instead.

Barack, I propose Vincent Bugliosi for Attorney- General. He is surely qualified and he is honest. He proved it. I propose one of those diplomats who resigned  in protest against Bush’s wars  for the  Secretary of State and another one of those- for the National Security Advisor. I propose congressman Dennis Kucinich for Homeland Security Administrator and I propose a bid among the best  civil engineers from the 9/11 Truth movement for the FEMA administrator. I propose to nominate a CAREER TRADE-UNION  EXECUTIVE for the Secretary of Labor. I propose Seymour Hersh for our UN Rep.  And I for sure do not want to see Madeleine Albright, the baby- eater once again. NO MORE   CRONIES. NO MORE  NUTS like Jane Harman. We have serious problems to solve and we need serious people to solve them.

 

4. No more lawlessness.

 

Mr. President- Elect, we are  a lawless country.  If a President or whoever can decide   for a person to stay indefinitely in jail, under interrogation without a lawyer and without even telling the family  that means we have fascism, sorry. Until that abomination is over we cannot consider ourselves a free nation. All our institutions, including you, Sir are serving lawlessness.  Restore the rule of law in this country first and foremost. Until a trial takes place any detainee  has only one definition- INNOCENT.  Abolish the ‘ War on Terror’. We are not at war with anyone. No country had proclaimed war at us.  We must be vigilant but lawful.  ALL the protective institutions are to serve us. That means among other things that if the passenger who paid for the ticket  jokes whatever he wants on the airplane he can be told that  some jokes could be offensive but he cannot be arrested, cannot be charged and cannot be interrogated.
