It happened at the check point

“Mr. Ramsey unfortunately due to budget cuts we’re eliminating your position on Monday. We’ve done all we can to prevent this but we have to eliminate four Director Positions in order to recapture the numbers overall. If you have any questions please contact human resources” read a letter on his desk. He already couldn’t get to sleep last night because he found out that his son confessed to being gay.

I’ll be damned, Mildred get me HR! “Yes Sir, immediately”, replied his secretary. Hell, I knew it was coming, I’ve dodged two cuts already, my department is top notch, there was just no reason…and it just wasn’t timely; I almost had my car paid for and I didn’t save like I should have and that damned son of mine…dammit what else?

“Mr. Ramsey HR is on line one”, said Mildred. Thanks Mildred, you’ve been wonderful. “Thank you Sir and I’ve always admired you, and for what it’s worth it’s been a pleasure serving under you”. (He acknowledged in silences as she backed out of the room) Wha…Yes HR this is Mr. Ramsey, I’d like some more data on my being released, what’s the time line? Effective immediately? They’re en route to escort me out of the building? Are you serious, what about a pension or severance pay? You just toss my ass out like I’m nothing; I made this IT department what it is today! The voice replied, “I’m sorry Sir, but all persons that are cut have been processed the same way”. He slammed the phone down on the receiver and put on his coat, grabbed a brief case and headed towards the door.

Mr. Ramsey we’ve come to …oh shit he’s bigger than we thought, we’ll need assistance. Home base we may need two more escorts.

Motherfuckers you won’t need them, I’m out of here!

He walked back into the office and told Mildred the older secretary that he’d miss her and shook her hand; she stood up and hugged him as if her life depended upon it. She kept crying and wiping and saying that she was sorry and she didn’t know what to do if she was next. He walked away without hearing her out; she’s a woman, a company woman, she’ll be around a while…fuck her tears. As he walked down the hall to the stairs he saw Melody his other secretary and she was crying too and stopped and threw her arms around him and then gave him a deep, deep kiss and shoved something in his jacket pocket of which he didn’t stop the interaction to see what it was. The Guards were close behind him giving him all the room he required; they’d heard about him, they respected him and wouldn’t even think of tarnishing his reputation because of some damn regulations.

“Bob Ramsey, Director of Information Systems”; read the sign directly in front of his car. Bob noticed as he was pulling out of the parking space that the janitor was on his way outside with toolbox in hand and a ladder to remove the sign. $135,000 a year job gone just like that; oh well I had it once and I’ll get it again. Not to mention recovering from loosing his business partner in the .COM bullshit…2.5 million gone just like that…but the sombitch didn’t have to kill his stupid self.

This was September 23, 2001…nothing has been the same since, let’s find out what led up to this.

The world was busy responding to being terrorized on our own soil; everywhere you go people are asking why? How? Why? Why? Why? That is except for a lot of African Americans and one family in Texas that would soon show their colors; because they knew the Why’s, the When’s and the How’s.

We’d just gotten bamboozled out of an election; thousands had just gotten told that their votes didn’t count and though they went to poles in droves, it really didn’t matter and seemingly just didn’t mean a damn…as if they’d been grandfathered out of a vote simply because their grandparents didn’t vote. Kind of like they did right after we were given the right to vote back in the day…seems history repeats itself and most of us wanting to forget the past has allowed it to creep up on our forgiving African American asses and we get screwed again…to forgive is alright, dammit just don’t forget how it happened!

Historically, Americas government depends upon its citizens to respond to “After the shit is out of the horse” circumstances. Those of you not feeling the terminology, it simply means “AFTER THE FACT”; Lets’ discuss a subject that we all know very well so we won’t lose anyone.

We always try to deal with and try to figure out why racism is such a bad thing, and why it is so prevalent amongst most whites, towards any other nationality or animal. No one actually takes an intimate look at the source or what’s perpetuating the disease. Affirmative action was inserted into the infrastructure because things weren’t right! I heard an old man once make a statement that went like this; “Just because a bunch of Black folks can dunk basketballs, play football, run track, tennis, play golf of whatever else the hell white folks will pay to see including boxing; and because the gladiator or athlete made a lot of money from all of his hard work of practicing the event. America thinks that everything is equal and fair…and we all know that is a bunch of bull!

What about those of us that ain’t fortunate enough to soar through the air with the greatest of ease? The regular Black folk, the blue-collar worker, the corporate hopeful that is an off spring from the blue-collar worker, you know the one that ain’t a burden on society. The ones that haven’t yet received a “Get out of jail free” pass, because they abused millions of dedicated hard working Americans retirement, and bankrupt a company only to be fined, or sentenced to serve time on one of the most elitist country club prisons in the world. Now get this; after all of the blue-collar workers hard work to put their son or daughter through college, the only available opening is at that same damn Country club prison, serving the very ones that has kept or slightly altered your offspring from progressing. I digress; we’ve been kicking our own behinds (I wanted to say asses) since “Roots” haven’t we…

Remember the good old days when there were things like the “S&L Scandals”. It was the largest theft in the history of the world and US tax payers are who was robbed and it was swept under the rug. Remember? probably not because it was covered up by their thieving ass daddy who along with his other band of robbers in congress agreed to start a "for nothing" ass war.

The problems occurred in the Savings and Loan industry as they relate to theft because the industry was deregulated under the Reagan/Bush administration and restrictions were eased on the industry so much that abuse and misuse of funds became easy, rampant, and went unchecked.

“Give him the loan to open the facility, by George he’s a “bush” for crying shame, doesn’t that mean anything to you”, stated the Bank president? Yeah, I lowered the case and it’ll stay that way, since when does the word “bush” deserve a capitol letter? It is merely something to piss behind when you can’t find a port O’ potty, or something to act as a functional part of ones property isn’t it? Nothing more…

There are several ways in which the Bush family plays into the Savings and Loan scandal, which involves not only many members of the Bush family but also many other politicians that are still in office and still part of the Bush Jr. administration today.  Jeb Bush, George Bush Sr., and his son Neil Bush have all been implicated in the Savings and Loan Scandal, which cost American tax payers over $1.4 TRILLION dollars (note that this is about one quarter of our national debt).

Between 1981 and 1989, when George Bush finally announced that there was a Savings and Loan Crisis to the world, the Reagan/Bush administration worked to cover up Savings and Loan problems by reducing the number and depth of examinations required of S&Ls as well as attacking political opponents who were sounding early alarms about the S&L industry.  Industry insiders were aware of significant S&L problems as early 1986 that they felt would require a bailout.  This information was kept from the media until after Bush had won the 1988 elections. Jeb Bush defaulted on a $4.56 million loan from Broward Federal Savings in Sunrise, Florida. After federal regulators closed the S&L, the office building that Jeb used the $4.56 million to finance was reappraised by the regulators at  $500,000, which Bush and his partners paid. The taxpayers had to pay back the remaining 4 million plus dollars. WHAT!!!!

Neil Bush was the most widely targeted member of the Bush family by the press in the S&L scandal.  Neil became director of Silverado Savings and Loan at the age of 30 in 1985.  Three years later the institution was belly up at a cost of $1.6 billion to tax payers to bail out.

Now watch how all of this shit went down on a daily basis and because the bush family had so many people in their pockets doing corrupt shit, no one gave any thought to it.

Neil received a $100,000 "loan" from Ken Good, of Good International, with no obligation to pay any of the money back.

Good was a large shareholder in JNB Explorations, Neil Bush's oil-exploration company.

Neil failed to disclose this conflict-of-interest when loans were given to Good from Silverado, because the money was to be used in joint venture with his own JNB.  This was in essence giving himself a loan from Silverado through a third party.

Neil then helped Silverado S&L approve Good International for a $900,000 line of credit. 

Good defaulted on a total $32 million in loans from Silverado.

During this time Neil Bush did not disclose that $3 million of the $32 million that Good was defaulting on was actually for investment in JNB, his own company.

Good subsequently raised Bush's JNB salary from $75,000 to $125,000 and granted him a $22,500 bonus. 

Neil Bush maintained that he did not see how this constituted a conflict of interest.

Neil approved $106 million in Silverado loans to another JNB investor, Bill Walters.  

Neil also never formally disclosed his relationship with Walters and Walters also defaulted on his loans, all $106 million of them.

Neil Bush was charged with criminal wrongdoing in the case and ended up paying $50,000 to settle out of court.  The chief of Silverado S&L was sentenced to 3.5 years in jail for pleading guilty to $8.7 million in theft.

now lets look at the crimes that a normal JOE SMOE or a Black Guy could do that would have his ass in jail (in population) serving more time that these bandits of white collar crime.

•  holding up a gas station for $50. or
• stealing a loaf of bread to feed your starving family 
• selling crack cocaine
• having seven or more traffic tickets
• not paying child support for two years

the number one reason that would get you tossed in jail longer than a bush member or cohort for a lessor crime is ....drum roll please!

• DRIVING WHILE BLACK.....(applause...applause)

It should also be noted that shortly after news of Neil Bush’s involvement in the S&L scandal hit the press his father, George Bush Sr., announced the Desert Storm campaign in Iraq, which subsequently had the result of making Neil’s name quickly fade from the headlines. In addition, while Neil Bush's divorce proceeding were exposing more backroom Bush dealings, America was once again bombarded with war propaganda for Operation Iraq Freedom.

now lets delve back a bit further and find out where exactly ole Neil and his band of thieves get their taste for shoplifting, looting and random acts of supporting, socializing and cavorting with scum of the earth. ahh what's his name...yeah old Grand daddy Prescott. Neil and his S&L scandal was a joke compared to what this character pulled off...

Prescott Bush was a Senator from 1952 – 1963.  Previous to his time as a Senator Prescott was a banker and businessman.  Prior to the American entry into WWII Prescott Bush was director of Union Banking Corporation. Union Banking Corporation helped to finance Hitler’s regime. The Concentration Camps of Nazi Germany were labor camps that the Nazis used to make products for their regime as well as for sale to raise money.  Prescott profited directly from the Auschwitz labor camp.

In 1942, after Hitler declared war on America the United States government seized the Union Banking Corporation under the Trading with the Enemy Act as a front operation that was supporting the Nazis. Much of the profits from the operation were already pocketed by Prescott however, and $1.5 million was put in a trust fund for George Bush Sr.

They allowed this man to do this to the American people, not African Americans and Mexicans because they weren’t going to put shit in that institution and they aren’t really considered Americans anyway. What do they call them? Minorities…right, but good ole White Folks and anybody else that put money into those institutions got slammed. His own daddy didn’t give him money; they had plenty of it, why wouldn’t his own daddy back up his son? That should tell you something! Even after the first bank and the second one went under, why wouldn’t his daddy put a stop to it? I’ll tell you why; because they’re family battle cry was and is, “Fuck the American people!” Because he not only did it once, moreover, six times before they retired him to the plushness of the Country Club for “White Collar” criminals that owned millions. Accented with its golf course, no iron bars and personalized autographed golf carts just because you stayed there…towel please niggah…spick, or whatever you call yourselves these days? What’s politically correct?

The setup…A wise man once said publicly, “STAY OUT OF THE BUSHES!” and like a white person in a stupid “Michael Myers” movie; instead of heeding the warning, most African Americans wanted to investigate the noise, instead of leave the area, or run like hell. And “Jason” hacked our stupid asses up, just like the script read… “African American dies first in movie, make it as dramatic as you want, but…his or her ass gotta go first”, this is Hollywood and that’s how it works…have a good day; that’s a rap!

There was an assassination attempt that just could’nt be forgotten, and it troubled the old guy. However, he now sat in a comfortable position on the Defense Committee, where if the US were to gain control of a certain country’s oil producing system, they themselves would personally reap oodles of benefits from it. However, that wasn’t really the problem; see the person that tried to assassinate him, or kill him, owned control of those oil producing systems, and controlled a very controversial group of people. The only way to own the country or hurt him and repay him for doing what he did is to hit him in the pocket. The only way to get over there and hit him in the pocket, was to build up enough propaganda about the plight of an oppressed people, and the fact that the one entity that was controlling them was so bad that the people needed to be freed. Not to mention the horrible “Weapon of Mass Destruction”…coming to a theatre near you. There goes the bad guy music…dah dah dah…Is it over there? No, is it over here? No…gosh darn it…where oh where are you ole mass destruction device? You mean it wasn’t anywhere to be found. Shucks pulled another one over on the American people. In the mean time, your little Bobby or Johnny just took one for the American people…for what really. What was that Battle cry? Here’s your flag…mom. On with the story…

The sympathy line tossed at the American people would go something like… “If, we as Americans can stand by and watch all of those poor desolate people, suffer like that under the rule of one totalitarian, then we are not the people that we claim to be in this great country we call America, Land of the Free!” Folks from areas like Podunk Iowa, and Montana, Alabama, Idaho, and the like would say, “Yeah, we should help those people! We sit here in our lavish life styles, and they can’t even use the oil that they produce to gainfully become richer than we are. They should have a chance to over charge us for purchasing the oil from them…America the beautiful, an equal chance is all that a person can ask for, and after all, we are humans aren’t we? What makes them any different from us?

Blacks on the other hand are looking around as if asking, “What the fuck did I miss?” We didn’t see anyone going to bat trying to make sure that our asses were good to go, when America was lynching, and hanging our asses, blowing up our churches, homes, and businesses. Killing children for no reason other than the color of their skin…

One white guy stood up and said, “What about the Civil War? We tried to free ya’s then, what about that? I’m talking about after the damn war you ignorant @*&^$!…” What about Africa? What about Haiti and all of those damn Haitians still floating on inner tubes, lined up in single file awaiting the opportunity to get into “America the Beautiful” like airplanes trying to land at Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta…just lined up in inner tube, after inner tube, in shark infested waters, trying to gain freedom into America?

The Coast Guard is arresting them, instead of bringing them into the country, nourish them, check their health, and then deport them. They have the spotlight turned on their asses and told, “Ah hah, we see you trying to sneak in our country, now turn your asses back around and head on back home! Yeah we know your hands and legs might be tired, but you’re going to have to have your children hold on tighter, and paddle your asses on back home to your tired as country. We’ve no interest there; you have no natural resources, so what the hell do we need with your Black asses anyway?” Meanwhile, as they shamelessly head on back home they paddle by a sign that is floating in the waters splattered on a buoy that says, “Welcome to America where we have an Open door policy” “Bring your tired…someone tore the rest of the saying off the damn bouy and spelled out “Foux U if you is Haitian”.

America has always run the campaign about “We take care of our own”, “These colors don’t run”, and many other catch-22 phrases. These very phrases and catchy statements have created some very uncomfortable situations for non-whites in America; seemingly, if you do not get on board with the cause, then you must be a communist. The ones that are making these slogans and statements are the very participants that were at the party that stretched a confederate flag across the entire highway in Missouri that read “No Niggers beyond this point”. Now that there is a crisis, oh we’ll take that down momentarily if you join up wid us cause we need yus. We ain’t won a war yet when we didn’t have you nig…uh blacks on our side.

This is “HOME”, don’t get me wrong, however, it’s some stank shit that’s been happening over the years, and it’s been trying to justify itself with the explanation of “Well did it happen to you yesterday? Naw? Well then my man, get over it!” And we do, we just go on about our business, as if nothing happened…some of us…I don’t, but keep reading.

We shall overcome! Yeah right, I think some of us “Just came on over!” That is as, long as you ain’t fucking with their stuff that they worked so hard to get. They’re asses won’t even vote, however, as soon as the white man starts to fuck with their stuff; suddenly they are down with every cause you got…march? Yeah I’m wid it…hypocrite! Look at OJ; you can’t keep his ass out of the hood now.

Family meeting…

I want that bastard worser than I want pussy, and if we’re going to make this happen we have to act fast boys. I can’t die knowing that I couldn’t catch that bastard, when we went to get him the first time. Even at the time we couldn’t take him out because we needed his ass to stay in power to keep Iran at bay. But fuck that now, we can take his ass out and gain control of his oil, if you boys follow the game plan to the letter.

Whatever you need dad, I think with the influence that you have with the CIA, FBI and any other agency’s and the fact that the heads of these organizations still owe you, we can successfully pull it off. Hell, we definitely can afford it; Americans are fat and happy with all of the DOTCOMS making millionaires over night, the economy’s fantastic.

The lottery’s making people millionaires every week, the Blacks are getting richer, and so is the Mexicans from playing sports, and the “playboy” has had his reign; once he is out of the white house who do we have to run against? Who was the vice-president anyway? Now is the optimum time to start our move.

Alright boys first we need Florida, we need to take over as Governor; we all know why, all we need to know is which one of you will do it? Me Dad…excellent; Billy put your hand down, your ass ain’t running for anything except a beer and some snacks, all of the problems you’ve caused back in the day almost ruined our household name; I’m surprised that they let your ass out of prison this early. I would have put you in there with those Blacks and Spics and let them braid your hair, and carve tattoos on your sorry ass. If it were not for your mother…never mind!

Now for you son, you’ll follow the same process that I did when I ran, same script and don’t change a thing. There are still a lot of fools…uh folks out there that are loyal to the name; once they hear it, they’ll come a running. Oh and once you get in to office, we got to get a handle on those illegal immigrants that are in this country, we got to get a way to tag them, make ‘em pay some taxes or some something and then kick ‘em out after three years or so.

But what about our servants Dad, they have been here for fifteen years and they have been loyal to us? Son that is because I have been replacing shit that they have been stealing; that one out there in the yard has been hitting us up for the last year and he just got here, bastard probably doesn’t even speak English. I want their asses’ label, counted and redirected.

As it stands right now, there has been a large decline in the Black vote and I’ve figured it out.

See when they were poor, they were staunch Democrats and as they got their fame and multi-million dollar contracts selling tennis shoes, dunking basketballs and selling Gatorade, they started finding out that the Democrats were the ones that actually wanted their money all along! Then they were faced with the fact that their dear old grand’s and mothers were staunch Democrats and would probably be terribly upset that their child switched sides and started voting Republican.

So faced with this dilemma they decided that, “Hell I won’t vote at all.” Which is a plus for whomever is running against the Democrats, because not only have the Democrats lost a Sports figure or formidable influence in his or her community that could cause or persuade a large group of young Americans of vast Nationalities to vote for a certain group or issue; Instead, they have lost a valuable vote that could have altered the outcome of an election or decision. See by not voting at all, Republicans and anyone else listening in shouting distance realizes that you might as well have voted for who you don’t like, because you just did. The rich have convinced the world that they don’t have to worry about such things as voting when you got money, because so many rich folks have proven to the rest of the world that money is the root, the evil and the persuader of all things.

Mooreism:

“Money is the motivation to which all things actually get done”

End of Mooreism:

So Dad, who will be my running mate? I was thinking about Colin, you know the Blacks have always wanted one of their own in the Whitehouse that wasn’t buffing floors, cleaning or taking out the trash or even worse a Democrat!

Here, Here! The world ain’t exactly ready for that, but we will keep him in close; since he’s already trained to serve the Master, you just keep the ole boy on a leash and when you need to attack your opponent, simply send in the attack dog. Nah my boy, I’ve got another person in mind for your running mate. Son you got your start in the oil business by the support of a very rich construction conglomerate. Because of our acquaintance, he took you under his wing and gave you a start. He’d already had oil interest in Iraq and the association was made and here we are. So what you are saying is that we owe him big hunh Dad? Son always remember…you almost went bankrupt twice while trying to run a company and he bailed you out of debt twice.

Over the years I’ve managed to get into some pretty good positions in life and I’ve looked out for him and his family as well as his interest while I had the helm. What do you think the first war was about? The man was trying to take control of the oil in that country and was threatening our interest and I couldn’t let that happen. There were plenty of countries that could have come to their rescue, but we had interest there.

Understand, where we have interest, not the US of A, but the Bushes son, are you getting me. If we have interest, you go and protect our interest. If we ain’t got interest, they ain’t got our interest. I understand Dad.

So which brings me to my next point of interest; he has this son that’s kind of radical named Ben and he’s a bit unstable, kinda like Billy here. He never liked our relationship and abhorred dealing with the right side of the law…well the US. His dad has ex-communicated him now, but before doing so he gave him his inheritance.  He’s been doing a lot of terrorist stuff in Paris and other foreign countries with that inheritance, but I’ve had a couple of my boys on him in the case either we needed him or need to detain him. We can get to him anytime we want; the playboy had him in custody for a period of time but simply released him for lack of evidence for some shit he’d been accused of doing on US soil. They tried to tie him to the bombing in New York and they bumbled the case and he’s free now, but he vowed that he would be back. Where am I going with this? Well we may need his services…we trained them to fight against the Russians and they did very well with our assistance and the Chinese. They’re some pretty tough customers and I would be very Leary in getting on the wrong side of these fellas, so we best watch them closely if we are going to use them.

Now son after JB gets into Governorship in Florida, we’ll move phase two into position. We’ll launch a campaign based upon the fact that the position is wide open; the guy that’s there can’t even win his own state, hell what has he done while in office? His wife was more visible that he was. The playboy and his shenanigans upstaged and over shadowed anything positive anyone that ran with him could’ve done. Not to mention his wife, child and even his damned dog had more publicity that the vice-president. So it’s easy to ask the question… “Who was the vice-president?”

Now I’m gonna secure your team with an unknown, but she is a tiger and she’s in oil too. The only one on your team that isn’t into the oil game is Colin and that’ll change once he does a good job. His straight and narrow ass probably won’t come on board with that but it’s a work in progress. Anyway, with these two on your card we’re a shoe in. Now we gotta create a situation that is so unforgettable, unforgivable and so horrendous that America has to go to war!

Son, we might have to turn our heads on a few folks if we use our hold card, we are actually gonna have to let some terrorist activities happen on American soil. Yes I understand your expression son…yeah, yeah, how could we? Remember the family battle cry son, remember it always! Of course we will monitor every phase of the activity so that they won’t get too far out of hand. We will let perhaps one or two incidents happen and regardless of who owns up to it, we’ll indicate that IRAQ backed them and financed them. Now you have to sell this to the public and put as much Vietnam comparison stuff in there that you can dig up, we gotta make them think we have to go and get them. “America don’t run, you fuck with us, we’re bringing the gun”, “Let’s do this for the Gipper” type of stuff. I want every red neck Vietnam Veteran and gun toting white boy to be ready to re-enlist, or if they can hop their lame asses up to the recruiting station, they would be so motivated that they want to sign up every able bodied junior red neck and clansman that they can find. I want them motivated son, so I’m giving you Ronnie’s old speech writer to assist in that department because you never were good at anything that had to do with writing, thinking, or managing. I know your weakness boy, so I’m surrounding you with the best people for the job, all you do is practice your lines, just like when you were governor, rehearse your speeches.

We started the weapons of mass destruction stuff back in the last war and didn’t find anything and those pansies at the UN and the current playboy hasn’t entertained the thing in years, well I want you to give it new life and go after it with a vengeance. We know that there aren’t any weapons of mass destruction over there but at least that is an avenue in which to persuade our country to go and kick some butt. If it weren’t for the “RED NECKS” and “Clan Members” still in circulation we would have never gone to war, we would be the weaklings that we used to be, and son right now we are looking like fools. IRAQ is playing with us, hiding trucks and putting stuff in caves and I’m just tired of it! Besides the Sonuvabitch tried to take your ole Dad out, are you gonna just sit back and let that happen?

Well if I have anything to do with it, your administration won’t stand for it, do you hear me son? Sir yes Sir…now brief me on my running mate Dad. Well he’s been around for over twenty years and his ticker is kinda bad, at least that is what we’ll sell to the American public; see if something does happen to him (Hypothetically) Colin will be next in line to take his place which will guarantee us a second term. We’ll catch the Democrats sleeping; those Democrats won’t know what hit ‘em. So you think Colin is with us Dad? Hell Colin is Black but his blood is red, white and blue. I saw that when he worked for me in the Gulf War, his legion is to whom ever is in charge, so all you have to do is become his boss and he’s all yours. Now the young lady comes from Alabama and she has a very sketchy demeanor, we think she’s legit, as a matter of fact I know she’s legit so we don’t even have to discuss her any further…just watch her smoke. Like they always used to say, “Ain’t nothing like a bed warmer on your side” and she a looker too!   Once you get one of those sisters on your side, they are more loyal than a good hunting dog on a cold morning. Better yet…a pit bull at your side while walking in an ethnic neighborhood!

But Dad, what about the Blacks, you know they can come out of the wood work when they want to answer a cause. They are having those damn “Get out and vote campaigns and giving fish dinners to whoever votes and…hush my boy, JB fill him in about the voting issue you got brewing and I’m going to take a piss.

Back to beginning...
