Noise, Noise, Noise, and spin

I am so fucking sick and tired of the spin cycle noise that permeates the American media. Yeah, I know I haven't posted in a while, too bad. I've been busy living my life, but this past week has just finally rubbed the wrong nerve raw for the last time.

Okay, NOW HEAR THIS! You are being lied to by the media with regards to the "government shutdown" and the military. I know you're being lied to, because I was in the military during a Clinton shut down. Guess what? Federal law MANDATES that military members MUST BE PAID, even in the event of a government shut down. Did you read that? If not, read it again. If you still don't get it, READ IT AGAIN!

This bullshit that is being thrown around the airwaves, 24/7, is just that, bullshit. Yes, some entitlements are stopped. Yes, there can be a delay in the next paycheck being sent out. No, it is NOT accrued pay, it is real pay. Over all, the military, like the FBI, CIA, NSA, and other Federal law and defense agencies, MUST BE PAID DURING A GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN.

What? Did you honestly think the FBI would close its doors because congress screwed up? Did you believe that the US Marshal's service would stop transporting fugitives? Are you so gullible that you think the Coast Guard is going to STOP running rescues at sea?

If you are that stupid, then it's a good thing Glenn (fucking idiot) Beck is going off the air. Perhaps, you will take a moment and THINK for yourselves. Maybe, just maybe, you'll do a little thing I like to call, research, before you blindly believe what some talking air head on the tube tells you to believe.

Lastly, for you frightened little rabbits that still refuse to think, you won't have long to wait before the morons in congress finally get their shit together. You see, a government shutdown is very bad for business. And since the lords and masters of congress, the corporations, don't want anything to screw up their sky high profits, they will take control. The lying lip flappers in DC, from the Prez on down, will get their new marching orders from Wall St., the banks, the mega-corps, and they will fall in line. A deal will be worked out, because after all, those poor wittle billionaires have to be paid, on those high priced government contracts. If they aren't, they may not get their big fat bonus at the end of the quarter, and that would make baby CEO cry.

Educate yourself people. This crap has been going on for better than 40 years, you'd think you'd have learned how the game is played by now.
