In Bahrain the monarchy now with the help of its neighbors in Saudi Arabia and the UAE continues to violently crackdown on protesters. The government has also arrested top political opposition figures. Meanwhile, the US has imposed economic sanctions against Libya and pushed for military options in response to reported violence at the hand of the government against the opposition there. So why do we here so little from the US President in response to the unrest in Bahrain?

If there really is a budget crises why does the corrupt American government take twenty five trillion dollars each year from hard working Americans and give it to the international privately owned Federal Reserve banking system and why are they giving twenty billion dollars this year to Israel?

For the American people there is still no public health care system, but there are trillions of dollars for endless war and trillions for Wall street. Of course this massive spending-looting of the American people by their corporate controlled puppet government is breaking the country, but the corporate elite refuse to stop and only want more, and they have found a way to get more. They instruct political puppets like Scott Walker to make noises about a so called 'budget crisis'. The puppet tells us there needs to be pay cuts and other concessions and we must get rid of the unions. But when they say cuts they really mean a transfer of wealth from the people to the super rich who own the means of production and services.

America can no longer be called the 'Land of the free and home of the brave', because it has become 'the land of the rich and home of the slaves'. Tragically, the American people may actually like being corporate slaves. They haven't objected to fighting never ending wars for the banks, military industrial complex, and Israel. It seems they like being ground down and looted into poverty, because they voted for Scott Walker and they keep reelecting republicans and corrupt democrats.

Thousands have descended again on Wisconsin following a surprise legislative maneuver which allowed state Republicans to bypass Democrats to pass a bill to strip collective-bargaining rights from most of the state’s public sector workers. State Republicans found a way to pass the bill without requiring the attendance of the 14 state Democrats which previously fled the state to force a stalemate on the bill. The Senate Republicans managed to pass the bill with an 18 to 1 vote. The measure, designed with the purpose of meeting budget shortfalls and allegedly preventing state layoffs, strips or in some cases severely hinders the rights of labor groups. The measure has also passed in the State House, which means it will now go before the governor for signature. http://rt.com/usa/news/wisconsin-republicans-union-rights/

Tens of Thousands Cheer Michael Moore in Madison: 'You Have Aroused a Sleeping Giant, Known as the Working People' Filmmaker Michael Moore marched with members of Madison Firefighters Local 311 to the Wisconsin Capitol Saturday and delivered a old-school progressive populist address is which he told a crowd numbering in the tens of thousands that “Wisconsin is not broke. America is not broke.” “The country is awash in wealth and cash. It’s just not in your hands,” he told the Wisconsinites who rallied to challenge the claim that the state needs to strip public employees and their teachers of collective bargaining rights in order to balance budgets. http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2011/03/06

The only bad thing on our trip was TSA was at the Savannah train station. There were about 14 agents pulling people inside the building and coralling everyone in a roped area AFTER you got OFF THE TRAIN! This made no sense!!! Poor family in front of us! 9 year old getting patted down and wanded. They groped our people too and were very unprofessional. I am all about security, but when have you ever been harassed and felt up getting OFF a plane? Shouldnt they be doing that getting ON??? And they wonder why so many people are mad at them.
