the constitution is still a contract

So, Obama went on TV and showed the world the birth certificate he spent millions of his own dollars to suppress.  Just as the experts were proving it fake, the mainstream media was filled with Obama taking credit for assassinating the boogieman, who was dead since 2002 and kept on ice to be thawed out for political reasons when the time is right.

Most people I talk to see this for what it is.  A diversionary tactic to keep the birth certificate issue buried while trying to increase Obama's approval rating for his run for a second term.  The sad part is we are now able to see the man behind the curtain and don't care.  We've become so accustomed to being played and lied to that we accept it all without even getting upset, even though we recognize these staged series of events as calculated to manipulate pubic opinion in their favor.  In other words, we've become a nation of apathetic, accepting, conditioned boobs who see death as another reason to party.

First, Obama says there is no birth certificate because Hawaii destroyed them all after they computerized the system.  Then he says they faxed him the birth certificate.  Let me point out, a PDF file can't be faxed.  Anyway you slice it, our president is a liar.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”   Joseph Goebbels


I worked many jobs in my life.  Some were low paying shit jobs and some were union.  The union jobs had a thing called a contract, which was a document that spelled things out like pay scale, benefits, hours worked, what the company can do, what they can't do, and what they have to do.  It leveled the playing field and kept the company from turning the job into a low paying shit job.  It also kept a steady work force and made the company more profits by keeping the best workers.

 

No company wants to be told what to do, so every now and then they'd try to get away with something.  The company lost every battle they fought with us.  We were like jailhouse labor lawyers. We knew the contract, chapter and verse, and weren't afraid to go toe to toe with anyone, no matter what their rank.  We were scrappy, determined, fair, and loud but we were empowered by a set of rules and followed them to the letter and god help any member of management who broke them.

 

The constitution is a contract between the people and the federal government.  Looks like the company is turning our union job into a low paying shit job without benefits.

 

Did I hear someone say unions were bad?  You're either management and like it this way or you're too apathetic to reason properly. 

 

Isn't it about time someone files a grievance?

the pdf was made using the fax: scan the fax, create pdf, distribute pdf because it can't be so easily edited by those who want to cast doubt. no conspiracy, but a reasonable safeguard.

unions: glad you think they have value.
