Every SINGLE Red State that enabled Barak Obama to take the Democrat nomination has to be IN PLAY on November 3rd.

NO EXCUSES! The Red States MUST BE in play... otherwise, the GOP will steal another election and the Economic Hit Men who pillaged the planet will continue to work, only this time they'll extend their victims to the American people... except for those who fund their heinous activities as it is.

Every RED STATE MUST BE IN PLAY -- Missouri, Louisiana, South Carolina... y'all on blast, y'all is in Play!

End the Racism and End the Corporatocracy!

Democrats... Nay, I say thee IDIOTS! Democrats... Nay, I say thee IDIOTS!

...I thought Capital One was my friend...

What the fuck?!? Just what the fuck is going on in Denver right now?!?!

Why haven’t Hillary and Bill gotten on national TV and told people, “vote for Barak or let your country, your dreams, your children’s dreams and your parents’ retirement get shit on as we go through the biggest depression imaginable!”

Oh, and believe me – the Great Depression that we have ALL forgotten about (see the above and below photos) – will be considered halcyon days if Amerikkka slips into 3rd World Territory… and believe me it easily can, and perhaps will regardless of whether or not Obama becomes president.

And when empires collapse there’s like decades, yes DECADES, of turmoil, upheaval, violence, wide-spread poverty and panic… think about what happened when Rome fell, the closest thing to America’s current position of power with all the excesses and abuses that we’ve come to enjoy. But more importantly look at what happened when the USSR fell (they’re STILL fucking up and having people like John McCain claim that the Cold War is coming back… how? How? There is no ideological difference anymore, and that was the basis for the entire post-WW2 bruh-hah-hah… is McCain that much of an idiot, he’s not a Democrat, so it’s hard to believe that he is) or Mexico (yeah, Mexico, it took like 70 years for there to be a true democratic election that put Vicente Fox in power and that wasn’t even a strong empire!!!!)

The next 70 Days – culminating in that one day in November – hold too much at stake for Bill and Hillary to allow their egos to fuck shit up. I bet is Chelsea was pregnant or had a kid by now, the Clintons would be acting just a little differently… just maybe, hard to say with Bill Clinton’s Krell-sized ego (for all you Forbidden Planet fans out there) and the fact that he wants to go off-book when he talks during the convention on Wednesday night.

Be ready for anything! Even assassination attempts!

The Dream Team

Senator Barak Obama picked Senator Joe Biden to be his running mate... it was predicted by many at least a month ago.
But let's think about this choice... it appears to be great on the surface. Smooth Barry and Joltin' Joe!

I wager it's the best possible choice, but the question is will Barak let Joe do all the shitting on McCain?

I was just skimming through this week's TIME magazine, the one with Barak's face on the cover with the "Special: The Democrats" emblazoned across the top, and Joe Klein -- ever the nay-sayer (with good reason, though) -- makes a specific point about Obama needing to actualize his feelings to actionable items that will enable white people to get with the program.

See the way I see it, it didn't matter who Obama chose for his Veep (except for Hillary, still too much of a lightning rod; plus Bill didn't want her to win anyway... on that in a second), because what the race ultimately comes down to is:
Will the non-Black Americans -- whites, latinos, East Asians, and South Asians -- pull the arm in the ballot box for a Black man? The most vilified personage on the planet for the past 400 years? Think about it 400 years Black people have been demonized by whites, and most violently in the mass media age of the past 50 to 75 years (glossy photographs and film strips really know how to make a nigga seem to be the Public Enemy No. 1 for all God fearing Americans... and anyone who aspires for the American Dream (the piece of propaganda that the entire world had bought, until Dubya Bush assumed the reigns and stuck his limp dick into everyone's ass).

Of course a good percentage of whites have voted for Barak, but will they do so when it counts? The true believers are all the under 25 year olds, and shit even the under 21 years olds -- these people, this section of the population can make history on such a proportion that it'll be, it'll be Historical!!! Shit, if I know another word that summarizes what's going to happen better, do you?

Joe Biden has been someone I thought could have been a President in various other election cycles, and perhaps he might get his chance to run for the big office in eight years, but we'll have to see what the next few weeks tell us... it's Obama's election to lose and he needs to stay on message -- the GOP, led by Dubya Bush, fucked this country's economy and allowed the uber-class to make more money than they should have at the expense of those who toil and break their backs to make these rich peeps their cash -- wage slavery is a term I throw around quiet a bit, but think about it... working hard under the Bush regime... has done nothing to get you ahead. Working with a hand in the cookie jar and plastic ranch-flavored smile on your face is how you get your cash... can anyone say Jack Abramhoff?

On to my statement about Bill Clinton, this is the man who made us think twice when he claimed that getting his dick slobbed on in the Oval Office WAS NOT CONSIDERED SEX!!! Now a man that smart, that shrewd with his words didn't loose his ability to stay on message when he dropped all these bombs during the Primary that made him fall out of favor with the preponderance of Blacks, the Blacks who loved him like they ain't supposed to love no white man!

So we want to see Biden be the attack dog for Obama, but Barak needs to do the jugular slices himself. It's a perfect way to tag-team the so-called Maverick, and send the GOP rule.

It's nothing short of state-sanctioned revolt that we as a people get the GOP out of the cone of power IN ALL FEDERAL BRANCHES... especially the Supreme Court. Perhaps that John Grisham novel, I believe it's called The Pelican Brief, should be dusted off the shelf.

IOC - Why No China Smackdown?

I've been watching the Olympics pretty much every day since they started up, and outside of the fact that Michael Phelps' achievement was about as anti-climatic as The Dark Knight taking the top box office slot for close to month, the one thing that had me extremely curious was the whole thing with the Chinese living up to their agreements with the IOC.

What agreements am I talking about? Well, if memory serves the International Olympic Committee (aka the IOC) can’t be considered a smart international body (which is probably an oxymoron in any event) with any kind of true or respected power; because they made a colossal blunder when they awarded China the 2008 Games way back in 2000 (I think it was).

Not only has a country with such human rights abuses ever hosted the games, outside of Nazi Germany (and even Hitler at the time wasn’t executing 10,000 dissident prisoners a year in 1936), but China also threatens the environment with it’s wanton unchecked industrial machine. Shit, U.S. Cyclists are up here wearing masks as they travel around Beijing, hoping to avoid as much pollution as possible – as it will surely fuck up their lungs and respiratory system. I wonder how the marathon participants are going to respond during the actual event?

There’s been lots of talk about some concessions that China was SUPPOSED to do in order to gain the official sanction of IOC, and apparently China hasn’t done or even attempted to do most of these. Surprise, surprise, the Middle Kingdom didn’t answer to anyone.

So the question is, what can the IOC do to enforce its rules and regulations – on a national level – and not be looked at as some lame duck bunch of yahoos. Even that fiasco with the Iraqi national team smacked of, “they don’t know what the fuck they are doing.”

The IOC needs to strip China of its participation in the 2012 Games outright – just not let their athletes compete in the 2010 or 2012 games.

POP CULTURE REVIEW: The Return of NEXUS

A couple of weeks ago I was down at the annual San Diego Comic Con, something I've been going to for the plast 15 years and I've seen it grow and grow and grow, and maybe not for the better. It's gotten away from comics and that subcultre, and absorbed video games (stealing some of the thunder from E3) and most recently becoming a launching pad for Hollywood's TV and movies that aren't the prestige films vying for Oscar potential in the fall of any given year.

This year I was pleasantly surprised, nay shocked, to stroll by artist extraordinaire Steve Rude's booth to find that he was peddling yet-to-be published issues of NEXUS, the highly entertaining and intellectualy stimulating comic book that he and scribe Mike Baron had started back in the early 80s. These were the first new Nexus stories in 10 years! I had to buy what was being sold. And that was pretty all the comics I bought at ComicCon this year (incredibly). Why? Because Nexus holds a special place in heart as fabulous science fiction that never goes out of style.

I first became a fan of Nexus about 10 years ago when the last four issues of NEXUS were published by Dark Horse Comics. I read this mini-series where the fans got to chose who NEXUS killed. Which I thought was as strange gimmick at the time, but as I read the first issue I was hooked. NEXUS is the story of Horatio Hellpop, not your average or even above average super-hero... in fact, he's not even a superhero as one would typically define the term. Nexus is an intergalatic executioner of mass murderers... yeah, that's pretty trippy, but it makes for gripping sci-fi grist to mill into a fantastic comic series. Between the release of the first issue of "Nightmare in Blue" and the final issue (which would turn out to be the last one for a decade), I went crazy and hunted down the 93 previous issues that had been published off and on over the last decade (intially through Capital Comics, then First Comics, and then at Dark Horse) -- that wasn't an easy feat, but I completed the task (which probably would be quiet difficult today, because I didn't use eBay; I actually hunted down the issues from various comic stores in and around the LA area (and probably some at the 1997 San Diego Comic Con).

As I read the back issues, Nexus -- as Baron and Rude wove the tales -- was one of the most complex characters I've read in comics, as he was compelled to be an executioner, forced to be the conscience of humanity against his own will, but he carried the weight of that dark duty with an amazing amount of eventual clarity and understanding. Yeah, he struggled with the concept of being a murderer for whom murder isn't a crime... as that would psychically scare almost everybody.

Anyway, after buying issues 99 & 100 of NEXUS, the new issues that is, I sat down to re-read the entire Dark Horse run of the series to refresh myself with where the character is -- after a decade hiatus -- and it felt like revisiting old friends, who I hadn't seen in years. Funny that I felt that way from a comic character that isn't even a mainstream comic, but Baron's characters are that compelling, unique and enjoyable.

I'm just about to crack the cover the first new NEXUS published under Steve Rude's own publication imprint, and I'm giddy with excitement to see where these characters are after such I long time. I'm anticipating it to be great, but wonder if it's not going to live up to the internal hype that I've been creating for the last three weeks.

Dark Horse Comics has reprinted and republished the entire series as hardback books, that are extremely nice in their design and reproductive quality. I highly suggest anyone interested in cool sci-fi -- books or comics -- to go and pick-up the back issues that have been made readily available and immerse yourself in some of the best sci-fi, well, best fiction in the last twenty years (whether that's graphic novel or not).

Sludge Throwing

Hey – so I’m posting again, after an absence. I’m obviously not posting enough, and there’s so much shit and people to rake over the coals. Lamentably, I’m getting no feedback via email – obfusc8@hotmail.com (if you have anything at all to say) as we’re less than 100 Days Away from the potentially most historical election in the history of democracy; not just the history of AmeriKKKA, but the whole damn world since the Greeks thought up the concept of the common plebs voting for the their leaders.

However, the ever-pernicious American Right Wing is at it again with their attempts to derail the Democratic nominee, Illinois Senator Barak “Barry” Obama. Extreme idiot and supreme bigot Jerome “Jerry” R. Cori has published a new book through a devious Simon & Schuster imprint caustically and provocatively entitled, “The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality.” Jerry Corsi came to national fame in 2004 by publishing that treatise of boolshit that attack John Kerry’s Swift Boat actions during the VietNam conflict.

Kerry, an emasculated fob if there ever was one, didn’t know how to smack back at Karl Rove and the infernal machine that he was running… and Corsi’s book and the subsequent “swift boating” (as it became a nou/verb in the popular press) turned Kerry’s greatest triumph – a white-bred rich kid who volunteered for the stupid-ass VietNam Conflict and made good IN COMBAT – into his greatest Achilles’ heel. Talk about supreme political strategy!!! My one hand is still clapping for Rove et al.

At this point though, the gloves need to be taken off by the Obama camp. They need to sanction some diabolic attacks themselves, stuff that’s not affiliated with the campaign, but does all it can to stick a bramble bush up McCain’s bunghole!

Sure the Obama Faithful fired off a retort called “Unfit for Publication” (which isn’t a master title the way Obama Nation is… shame on you, Democrats) that refutes and negates the out-n-out lies that are in Jerry Corsi’s book.

I can’t figure out why Obama and his people can’t seal the deal and regulate McCain to the footnotes in the history books, unless I factor in race. And considering the masthead of this blog, I have to chime in on this fact.

THE RACE QUESTION IS THE REASON

People in America don’t want to admit PUBLICLY ON THE NEWS OUTLETS it that we’re still a nation of an overwhelming majority of supreme bigots, and that the whites throughout the land still have a hard time accepting that a Black man can have something intelligent to say WITHOUT a tone of a “you owe us” agenda. Obama doesn’t just speak intelligently, he does so without the hint of bitterness and the aftertaste of being dick-smacked by racism his entire life (which he no doubt has, but obviously has been able to compartmentalize those experiences).

I wonder what news outlets like el-Jazeera have to say about racism in the American Election campaign?

I would wager that they point to the hairy, hidden hand of “true-blooded” Americans who let their dicks swing when they enter any foreign country or get rowdy on our national holidays, you know the ones that muster up ye olde jingoistic spirit.
