I just don't feel like writing much

Its that time in the fall, when you have those brilliant blue skies and the changing leaves clashing with that color. I don't want to be bothered with whatever form of idiocy I see transpiring this month.

People with money fucking people who don't have it.

That is pretty much what every headline reads every fucking day, for as long as I can remember.

Rich People assfuck middle class and poor, because they can.

Yep, big piece of news.

So I am going out in the sun, like my peasant ancestors, and let the rich fucks worry about where their next billion is coming from. Let them close the sun out while they huddle in private rooms plotting price fixing or whatever it is this month, that needs to happen to fuck us all over.

Which politician will they buy? Which Uneducated, retarded demographic will they stir?

Tune in next week for our next thrilling installment of: Middle Class Anal without the Reach Around.

Reading more horror stories on Insurance assholes

MSNBC did a story about people who lost their insurance coverage and guess which company shows up again? Uh, that would be the same company indicated in the post prior, who likes to bounce rape victims because they want to take Anti-Virals to prevent getting infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The same company that bounces rape victims who need to seek mental health care due to Rape Related PTSD. That would be Blue Cross Blue Shield.

The MSNBC story covered regular, middle class families who, thought they were covered, who suffered disease or injury and then were dropped. Why? Because their condition was too expensive.

I have often wondered some things. A person posted their full name on the MSNBC commentary section who indicated his insurance coverage did all it could for him and it was great, don't change a thing. So I googled his name, and guess what. He is a Lawyer.

Hmmmmm. Well I often ran across this in the military with medical coverage. Who you knew and were related too, and your rank, affected your quality of care as well.

I would like to point out to the Legal Eagle {--we will call him Mr. C.} In question, that his ability to circumnavigate the shark infested waters of insurance paperwork and legaleeze isn't going to be quite the hazardous and bewildering journey that it would be for the rest of us. And it wouldn't surprise me one bit, if certain policies were flagged because they do belong to lawyers, doctors, politicians, or the very wealthy--or well connected.

This practice could serve two purposes.

It prevents potential conflict with people who have the resources and the connections to fight back.

AND {And I cannot Stress this enough}

It also provides the schmarmy company in question with Plausible Deniability regarding these practices outlined in the MSNBC story and the Rape Victim Story below.

After all, if some individuals are highly satisfied with their coverage, then the company can point to them while making it clear that the people complaining are Ne'er do wells who didn't follow the rules and LIED about some pre-existing condition like a club foot, a hair lip or acne---and that is why they cannot be covered for Cancer Treatment, or surgery or HIV prevention after a catastrophic and violent sexual assault.

Its the old, "If it Didn't Happen To me, then It Don't Happen to No One" paradigm. Meaning that if you can claim that you have paid your dues and the insurance company did right by you, you don't need to look too deeply into that, or why they aren't doing right by your fellow citizens. Clearly you are in the right and the others who got cut off are in the wrong, and thats all we need to know.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth! Oh wait but you are paying for this, so does that mean it's still a gift? Or is this a breach of contract?

But I do prattle on don't I? I think what amazes me here are the parallels between this and the Veteran's Affairs Administration treatment of certain groups of vets.

It's clear to me, as the little peon that I am, that many insurance companies appear to make these arbritray decisions regarding who gets covered and who doesnt, but in reality this is an issue of classism. If you have insurance and you make your payments, and they perceive you or someone you are closely related to or otherwise connected to, as an entity with resources to break it off in the insurance company's ass if they screw you out of coverage, then you get covered and covered well.

If not, then they will take your money for coverage up to a point. As long as they make more money off of you, than you spend, in health care dollars that is. Then its off with your head and your policy.

There is nothing arbitrary about coverage inconsistencies when you think of it that way. It's just shrewd business dealing here.

It would be cool to see if an investigation could prove that this is indeed the case. Any Takers?

Holy Fucking Shit this is so Wrong!

Insurers deny coverage, cancel coverage to Rape Victims who take AntiVirals.


I am so angry ...Thanks to Wandering Elf for posting this story. I cannot believe my fucking eyes.



Wow, so my question is, did the managed care companies learn this from the military or did the military learn it from them? Seeing how this is all interconnected.

Holy fucking shit, these people--no wait these money grubbing souless robots should be ejected into space for being such unrepentent dick grubbing ass vermin who don't deserve to live.

Yea, I am that pissed. I was pissed before, but this goes all beyond any level of enraged anger I felt before at their fucked up antics towards cancer patients and the like.

Denying Rape Victims coverage if they develop or get treatment for PTSD? WOW that is mighty white of you, you evil cocksuckers. You know, while you are at it, why don't you put some golf cleats on and stomp little fuzzy ducklings at Easter. Do it for show and tell at a Kindergarten class. You fucktards seem to be about that low, no actually lower.

In fact, I think you sons of bitches should get dressed in your sunday best and skip on down the lane taking candy from children, steal food from homeless people, maybe you should stiff paperboys, and steal lemonaide stand nickles too. And if you are feeling really up to it, why don't you find a way to steal savings from old people and get them thrown out on the street, and people with children---Ooooh, Too late, already done that.

Well hell, I done ran out of ideas. I am just not that good at coming up with new ways to FUCK MY NEIGHBORS OVER. I guess you got me beat, you fucking Cum Smuggling donkey rapers .

So do you pieces of shit jack off while you do this to people over the phone? Do you wear Gestapo Uniforms too while you are at it? Beat each other with horse crops?

Sad Sad World

This article was sent to me by Aggie. It was written on the Sweat Lodge deaths in Sedona Arizona. I have some pretty strong feelings about the way Anglos commodify and appropriate Native American practices and culture. Normally I would say them myself. But this article is so good, about addressing the particulars of this unfortunate story, but it also brings to light many related issues. I hope you take the time to read it all the way through.

My deepest condolences to the families of those who were killed or injured in this unfortunate situation.

What Would Jesus Do? Seriously?

When I read stories like this in the news, it just causes me to want to vomit. And there are so many reasons for me to spew. Just the inhumanity visited upon innocent women and children, is enough to turn my stomach and put me off my oats. But there is more to it than that. The knowledge that there are people in this country who, if given the chance would like to do the same. That the *pastors behind this {and I use the term pastor loosely} make money and gain power and prestige from this practice to me is reprehensible. Its all money, power and prestige soaked in the blood of innocents.

And well its just plain fucking stupid.

Accused child witches Jane (left) and Mary (right), standing with other children accused of witchcraft, at the Children's Rights and Rehabilitation Network in Eket, Nigeria on Aug. 18, 2009. Jane's mother tried to saw off the top of her skull after a pastor denounced her. Mary, 15, is just beginning to think about boys and how they will look at the scar tissue on her face caused when her mother doused her in caustic soda.

I look at my kids. And there is nothing, that could entice me to saw their little skulls off. In fact, just the thought of that makes me feel queezy because it goes against every mothering instinct I have. I mean What the Fuck people!? Nwanaokwo

Edet was one of an increasing number of children in Africa accused of witchcraft by pastors and then tortured or killed, often by family members. Pastors were involved in half of 200 cases of "witch children" reviewed by the AP, and 13 churches were named in the case files.

Let's play a game shall we? Lets play, What if the supernatural is real and Demon Possession is absolutely real---mmmkay--I will go first.

First we must determine taxanomy. What makes a person a Witch?

Most of the literature I have read, indicates that most Witches are either born that way, or made that way by extraordinary circumstances combined with training in an occult discipline of some sort.

So---quite possible, Witches might be anyone who practices a religious system of some sort, that is viewed as a rival to the Abrahamic traditions by their own round about descriptions--or anyone who is unwilling or unable to conform to Abrahamic notions of normative behaviors.

Fair enough.

What makes a Demon? Well Demons according to Abrahamic lore, are not nor ever were human beings. They are fallen angels who comprise a separate species created by Yahweh, in order to serve him.

So--how the fuck, does that make demons and witches the same? Just asking.

I suppose if a Witch {in this hollywood fantasty world} could fuck up a spell and become possessed. However, it seems that, that is not a prerequisite [possession that is} for one to be a Witch.

Was the Witch of Endor possessed? No? Uh, she was just a medium who could see and speak to the dead. But no where did it indicate that she was a Demon or Demon Possessed.

Churches outnumber schools, clinics and banks put together....It's hard for churches to carve out a congregation with so much competition. So some pastors establish their credentials by accusing children of witchcraft.

And considering the poverty that is prevalent in that part of the world, I imagine that being a pastor is a convenient way to become gainfully employed. And you know I have learned there is nothing more dangerous than a street preacher amongst the desperate and the destitute.

But it gets better:

"Even churches who didn't use to 'find' child witches are being forced into it by the competition," said Itauma. "They are seen as spiritually powerful because they can detect witchcraft and the parents may even pay them money for an exorcism."

So instead of attacking government corruption, or banding together to increase buying power or form collectives etc., its just easier to torment and kill children. It doesn't solve any problems, all it does is release an immense amount of social tension {I am guessing} and this makes people feel in control, when in actuality, nothing could be further from the truth.

In the end, they have only increased the misery, lowered morale, broken many of their own commandments---everything from number 1, Thou Shall Put no Other gods before Me----Yea, well them thar street preachers sure seem godlike in their powers of dealing out cosmic justice, death and torture to innocent children and all that. Right on down to bearing false witness, coveting, and committing murder. I can think of one individual who will be impressed by all this mess, but he aint wearing a white robe and isn't able to lend you the keys to heaven. That's for sure.

I want to feel sympathy for these people, but I just haven't found it yet. Because this is so hopelessly fucking stupid and mean spirited that its just difficult for me to dig up that particle of compassion that surely must be in there somewhere.

I think that most of all, I am pissed at American Churches for planting the seeds of this religious retardation. I mean what else do you call this? It is arrogant to think that one can swoop in and replace tribal mentalities overnight with the complexities of an alien Western Anglo theology and expect the resulting amalgamation to be automatically beneficent and pure. In a largely illiterate, profoundly impoverished and already traumatized population.

Hello Hubris!

Oh yea, that outcome will be Super-healthy.

Helen Ukpabio is one of the few evangelists publicly linked to the denunciation of child witches. She heads the enormous Liberty Gospel church in Calabar, where Nwanaokwo used to live. Ukpabio makes and distributes popular books and DVDs on witchcraft; in one film, a group of child witches pull out a man's eyeballs. In another book, she advises that 60 percent of the inability to bear children is caused by witchcraft.

Well, there is the fucking cow that needs to have the top of her head sawed off right there.

Could you imagine, if any of these idiots were ever actually confronted by an authentic paranormal event? I would pay money to see that, because I honestly, seriously doubt, that we would see them cast out anything at all, except maybe a turd from their quivering assholes. In fact, I predict all we would see is assholes and elbows, and a trailing dust cloud as they beat feet for the solid reality they know, which is built on the money they collect from abusing and murdering children.

Like most other Witch Hunts, this is about two things: Political Instability and Money.

Period.

And religious fanatacism, and scapegoating are merely vehicles for acquiring political power and money. The only demon in this story, is named avarice.

Just in case you didn't get it.

30 Republican Legislators Voted against a Bill introduced by Al Franken that would ensure that any employee raped or sexually harassed by another employee, could by law take such cases to court rather having to deal with contract-ordered arbitration.

Arbitration is like the company store version of our legal system. 94 percent of rulings made by arbitration are in favor of corporate entities and not the individual people--consumers or employees who make the complaints.

A National Public Radio Story on the Jone's case has this to say about Arbitration:

If you use credit cards, have a cell phone contract, bought a house from a builder or put your mother or father in a nursing home, you have very likely signed away your right to be heard in court if there's a problem. It's called pre-dispute mandatory binding arbitration. Public Citizen's David Arkush, one of the country's leading researchers on arbitration, says many consumers have no clue as to the rights they're signing away."In the fine print of those contracts is a provision that says that they can never sue the company if they have a dispute," Arkush says." Instead they have to go a private, secret tribunal chosen by the company."

The reason why its such a poor substitute for consumers and plaintiffs? Because professionals in mediation who rule for individuals, and not the corporate gods, are often let go after that initial ruling. Word gets around.

But what about Jones. She was 19 yrs old. She was raped by who knows how many assailants after being drugged with what was probably Rohypnol though there are several kinds of Date Rape Drugs.

Gamma Hydroxybutyric Acid. AKA the Date Rape Drug or Roofies also known as Rohypnol. Her story sounds like the latter, since GHB doesn't generally stay in the system as long.

"The sedative effects of Rohypnol begin to appear approximately 15 to 20 minutes after the drug is ingested. The effects typically last from four to eight hours after administration of the drug, but some cases have been reported in which the effects were experienced for twelve or more hours after administration. In recent news, it has been discovered that scientists can now detect flunitrazepam and related compounds in urine at least up to five days or in hair up to a month after administration of a single dose of Rohypnol.

Considering that when she tried to report what had happened, she was locked in a metal container, I find that very very interesting.

According to an ABC Story, she was held in a metal shipping container for 24 hours kept there by armed guards. And it was one sympathetic security guard who lent her a cell phone so she could call her father. It was only after he called their Senator Ted Poe of Texas, that she was released. The Rape Kit that was allegedly done by U.S. Army Docs, was *ahem* Misplaced after it was given to KBR folks.

Wow, lets just take a moment to marvel at the divine providence in the loss of that bit of official evidence, for Kellog Brown and Root. One does marvel. Yes one does.

Also during that time, even though she had to *rescued by State Department Employees from KBR--the Department of Justice declined to investigate. Why one my ask did that happen? It is a 64 dollar question now isn't it?

According to the ABC story, the bipedal males involved with this case {because I hesitate to use the word *men} will probably never be prosecuted because there is no evidence. Though one might just love to see them squeeze that pig that was still in the bed with her, and see if he rolls on his fellow pigs. Come on buddy, you know you want to throw the other pigs under the train. Neither the DoJ nor the State Department kept Poe in the loop about this case involving his tender, young consitituent.

This woman was raped anally and vaginally. And her breasts were brutalized to the point that they will be permanently disfigured. She was also told after this happened by her "own" people, fellow American Citizens I might add, that there would be no job for her in Iraq nor a job waiting for her in Houston when she returned to the Continental United States.

But More on Arbitration from the ABC Story:

In arbitration, there is no public record nor transcript of the proceedings, meaning that Jones' claims would not be heard before a judge and jury. Rather, a private arbitrator would decide Jones' case. In recent testimony before Congress, employment lawyer Cathy Ventrell-Monsees said that Halliburton won more than 80 percent of arbitration proceedings brought against it.

So if in general, 94 percent of all Arbitration cases are for the Corporate entity, and in the case of Haliburton, 80 percent of it's arbitration cases are for Haliburton, what does that tell you about a Rape Survivor who doesn't have a rape kit, who had to be rescued by the state dept from Haliburton, tell you about this case? That Jones will have to have Haliburton's Dick surgically removed from an oriface to make this all stop, because apparently the company isn't done raping her.

Taking rape charges to arbitration is like saying that the accusation of rape is similar to that of complaining about a hang nail. It minimizes the traumatic aspects of such an accusation from every conceivable standpoint.

Its like telling her that her ability to maintain bodily integrity, to consent or refuse sexual advances means little more than being able to prevent people from stealing the stapler from her desk. It is a slap in the fucking face of every American Woman in this country, and any Rape Survivor, male or female.

There are lots of strange things going on Overseas with American Contractors.

As an article in the winter issue of the Wisconsin International Law Journal recounts, in 2000, employees of DynCorp Inc, a Virginia-based private military security company (PMSC) employed by the United Nations Police Task Force in the Balkans, were accused of participating in a Bosnian sex slavery ring. Kathryn Bolkovac, a DynCorp employee working as a UN Police Force monitor, reported to her supervisors that her male colleagues had made comments about women they owned. Bolkovac was fired soon after.

The same story indicates that contractors in Afghanistan were allowed to use brothels known to harbor trafficked women forced into prostitution.

Uh? We prosecute pedophiles for taking sex tours overseas, but raping American Contractors, or women forced into prostitution, well apparently thats okley dokley!


The Huffington Post also covered the weirdness of Contractors in Kabul.

"Private security guards at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul were pressured to participate in naked pool parties and perform sex acts to gain promotions or assignment to preferable shifts, according to one of 12 guards who have gone public with their complaints."

So all this time, we have been worrying about winning the hearts and minds of Islamic peoples in Afghanistan and Iraq, and other places Near East. But this is all I see. Rapes, Sexual Harassment, use of prostitutes, nice. The Rape States of American Female GIs by other GIs in those theatres is staggering as well.

What the fuck is up with this shit?

Back to Jamie Leigh Jones: Before you think, that this was years ago, she should get over it by now, because I have no doubt that somewhere out there in cyberspace there are idiots rolling their eyes about this case that keeps popping up like a bad penny.

Rape is not a one time deal. Its not just a moment in time that one forgets. Rape is an echo in the survivor's mind. An echo that becomes so loud and insistent that it can and does drown out the joys of everyday living. It changes everything.

Ms Jones had to deal with unbelievably callous attitudes, being unlawfully detained after being gang raped. She was shamed repeatedly, and physically battered to the point of permanent scaring. I have personally known rape victims who had to have reconstructive surgery on their genital and anal region. This may or may not have happened to her. No doubt after the fact, she had to take anti-virals and probably still lives with the spectre of HIV and Herpes. The stigma of being raped and the WORLD knowing about it. She revealed it because it was the only way to get justice.
She was sexually harassed by her own company for stigmatizing her and firing her for being raped.
And she got to experience the magnitude of betrayal that few will ever comprehend, when she learned that the DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE would not be investigating her case, and that the State Department was sitting on information as well about her case. That the company she worked for, peopled by other Americans, purposefully lost her rape kit, to cover their own asses, because she just discovered that in their world, ass covering is way more important that doing what's right.

Aint that part of America Grand?

And when she finally got someone to take her case, Al Franken, 30 Republican Legislators voted against a bill that would prevent this from happening to another American Citizen. What kind of scumbum, shit sucking ass-pigs vote no against that sort of bill? That puts decorum above Justice? You can see who voted yea or nay here.

Thank you Al Franken, who had this to say about the case:

“Sexual violence is about a person trying to exercise power and control over another person through unwanted sexual contact and violence,” said Pam Zeller, Executive Director of the Sexual Violence Center. “In arbitration the intent is to arrive at an agreement. This agreement does not have to be equitable in order to be resolved. It is also not intended to resolve a criminal matter. Sexual harassment and sexual violence inherently have an imbalance of power. Submitting a victim of sexual harassment, or sexual assault, to a process of arbitration is a revictimization of the victim, and minimizes the seriousness of the crime of sexual assault. The proposed amendment by Senator Franken will protect victims of sexual harassment and sexual violence from being revictimized through the arbitration process.”

The Voice of Reason. Somewhere in this maelstrom of shit, there was a voice of reason. I am just so thankful that the Yeas won. That Common Decency won, for once.

I just haven't been in the mood for this kind of blogging

I feel like I am repeating myself, and that bores me. Its fall. Its colder, the leaves are changing, I have a multitude of outdoor and indoor chores to complete. I have been without a car due to technical difficulties, and I have been working on various family memorabilia for posterity's sake.

From my vantage point in the virtual sky, I just see a lot of people being no good shits to each other. The curse of greyface carries on smartly in the world.

Kids setting another kid on fire for *snitching--which is code for retribution for taking telling the cops. The burned kid may die. The no good little shits in this case, thought it was funny and laughed when questioned. Ha ha motherfuckers, I hope you spend a long time in jail so you can contemplate the multiple errors of your ways. Its mentalities like that, that encourage other children to acquire weapons and bring them to school. I know I would have--if they will burn a so-called snitch, imagine what else they will do to enforce their will on others. Imagine what else they might have done, but not been caught for.

This unfortunately is part of the debate about trying minors as adults and their rights in that context. I had a friend, whose husband deployed. She lived next door to a Dahmer in training. That little fucker liked to climb on her roof and spy on her through the skylights. He also got into her house several times, and threatened her. His parents of course were less than helpful in this matter, because their *precious little angel couldnt have done anything like that. The police did nothing, because it was a minor--emphasis on IT.

What happens if that precious little angel gets shot breaking and entering? Well, then we get to hear about how someone's baby who "didn't mean any harm" when he chopped your cat up and nailed the bits to a fence, was just foolin around when he broke into your house and tried to sodomize you, your pets, or one of your kids in the shower. And you had no call, no right before the eyes of Gawd to defend yourself against this "Mere Child."

I happy to say that this is a rarity---this level of nightmarish behavior. But then, our population is booming so that even rarities such as this, even being a statistical minority, are still numerically daunting, and yet again, this is an issue where statistics mean nothing to the victim. Tell them how rare it is, while they are kept in coma as they are pumped with antibiotics, and NSAIDs as they try and fight a whole body inflammation. Tell them on their wedding day, when this kid has to wear makeup to try and hide the scares that are so bad, you might not recognize him as a person.

I have had my own encounters with this kind of callous mean-ness. People whom it seems, their only goal in this life is to extinguish the light in this world. Whether that is the light of another human soul, or happiness, or harmony or love--whatever. They seem hellbent to turn the world into a hell that reflects the dysfunctional order that exists in their own minds. Misery loves company I suppose.

They are consciously mean, they do wrong, and know it, and think it's funny. In human form, this--is what evil looks like. And it always offers us all, the opportunity to shine by comparison, by not becoming as they are. Unfeeling, Selfish, and Beligerent.

It is an opportunity to mindfully do good, to counteract harm, and restore some harmony to society.

My prayers to the family of that burned child. May the outcome be a thousand times better than anyone imagined for the targeted boy and his family.

In a similar vein, here is the perfect example of Evil I was talking about--Another Perfect Example that is--and I picked this up from Urantian Sojourn.
