Kesha Rogers to provide crucial 218th vote for Obama Impeachment over NASA defunding
… or more likely, the General Election will come, Kesha Rogers will win 15 or so percent of the vote against Pete Olson’s 70 and a feeble write in bid’s 15, and Kesha’s sponsors with the Larouche organization will claim victory that night with the on going mass strike as the Democrats lose 20 House seats. (Hell. Make that 50 and a Speaker Boehner. I don’t care, so far as this topic goes.)
Most importantly, some funds will slush through with the twin dualities of impeaching Obama (there’s an audience) and refunding NASA (there’s a different audience, and concentrated in this district. The Larouche honchos — quick! What’s that name I can’t think of right now — the guy in Texas right now — holds all those classes. — knew what they were doing, and I knew what they were doing.)
It is moderatly surprising, though not jaw droppingly so. We knew that of the three Larouche Youth Candidates, this one was the one that had the best chance to pull the “Illinois 1986”. I will have Kesha Rogers to kick around until November — meaning I may as well start getting her name right. It is a bug in our electioning system, but in this case not a very big bug. This is fairly low impact — for comparison’s sake to the great Larouche Illinois victories of 1986, Kesha Rogers is Janice Hart, the Treasurer victor easily lumped away in any Democratic Voting function, and not Mark Fairchild, the Lt Governor candidate who doomed Adlai Stevenson III’s run as he was election-wise now tied to him.
Under came in second. AND:
Yesterday was election day in Texas, and I voted. And I voted. And then I voted some more. If my count was correct, I voted fifty-two times. [..]
But this is ridiculous. The correct word for most of the elections that happened in Texas today, and that happen in primary elections around the nation all spring and summer this year, is farce. No one has any idea what they’re doing (especially in primaries, and in nonpartisan elections, in which you don’t even get a useful cue about what to do).
A good chance to mock Texas in general. And for the larouchies to call the cull of sort of wacky “human interest” stories this election result pops up as “Hit pieces”. (Oh my god, are you kidding me? TIME FOR TRUTH makes an appearance, from vintage “Time for Truth Factnet posting” days!!!)
Noted that Kesha Rogers now enjoys a wikipedia page, thanks to a person who apparently has an interest in odd politics. That makes sense. More interesting, if you go to the “Jeremiah Duggan” page history , you see some very recent change attempts from someone with the id of “DraftCB”, who is apparently a “sock puppet” of a banned user “Soledad22”. I don’t know my Draftcbs or my Soledad22s, but it is funny how a lot of new identities of sock puppets sure take active interest in setting up their wares to sell or guard the Larouche empire at wikipedia.
The edits appear to be something in the vein of silverchild:
This article is full of plain old lies, but what would one expect from a British newspaper? […]
As for Jeremy Duggan, it is a terrible tragedy that he took his own life, but to blame it on LaRouche is insanely false and totally politically motivated! The kid had a history of depression, prescription drug use, and psychological problems-due in some part to his parents’ divorce. His mother knows that, but she was manipulated into defaming and blaming LaRouche by Baroness Liz Symons, a friend of Lyn Cheney, the wife of former VP Dirty Dick Cheney.
Deep in their heart and guts, what percentage of Larouche members trully believe that Dick Cheney had anything to do with Jeremiah Duggan?
This is a valid point, as are the Action Group’s criticisms of the court and criminal justice system for failing to establish a wider responsibility that went beyond the actions of the actual murderer. Both these points need to be put in context. Germany has a long history of neo-nazi violence, with victims ranging from the homeless, left-wingers, asylum seekers, migrants, black people and other non-white German citizens. Case after case from the Lübeck fire (1996)[1], to the hounding to death of the Algerian asylum seeker, Farid Guendoul (2000)[2], to the death in disturbing circumstances of the British Jewish student Jeremiah Duggan (2003)[3], have revealed a pattern of neglect – what we in the UK might call institutionalised racism – by both the police and the public prosecution service. This pattern ranges from the bringing of inappropriate charges, (manslaughter is often substituted for murder), flawed prosecutions (public prosecutors have been known to refuse to allow evidence of racist background to be heard), lenient sentencing as well as failure to develop a victim’s perspective on extreme-right violence. (There has been criticism, for instance, of the lack of compensation for the victims of racism.) And it is not just academics who are suffering from the knee-jerk reaction of police officers to file suits for slander. Amnesty International has documented a pattern whereby those who allege police racism find themselves served with a counter-accusation of insulting and slandering police officers.
One can only hope that this misguided court case against Dr Sabine Schiffer will finally bring issues of institutionalised racism within the German criminal justice system to the fore.

I can’t imagine what is supposed to be interesting enough about all this to warrant this post.
Considering the whole NASA connection to her district, and the fact that it is such a safe GOP seat, I’m not sure what this is supposed to be about. In areas that have a very safe seat for one party nuts in the other party often can win the nomination (because no serious person runs an unwinnable campaign). Democratic selection procedures are usually much more “democratic” than GOP ones, so if you are a nut you have every reason to run for the Democratic slot.
What non-news to anyone who has paid attention to American politics for the past two decades and doesn’t listen excitedly to Hannity every weekday on the radio…

Well well, look what the devil drug’ in!
Kesha’s Victory particulars worth mentioning: 53% of the vote, more than the other two COMBINED, and “under”, well, we can joke about that handily all day. Out in the streets in Fort Bend, Johnson Space center, and other high visibility locales, in the busiest intersections in all the major cross sections, with a bright yellow sign (or as we call her “Big bird”) “Impeach Obama, Save NASA Vote KESHA!”, and not -as is implied by the hand full of discredited democratic party hacks that are referenced above- Screaming impeachment in a closet, and hoping the democratic pollsters wouldn’t hear! Favorable coverage in small town media, actively highlighting the Impeachment question.
Just continue your search online all the above can be found accompanied by vivid photos of the deployments quite easily!
We shook shit up, and this Scott Brown victory doesn’t even hold a candle!
Ok, now, lets take out the rest of the trash!
The American population is suffering, this nation is in danger of surviving as the administrations policies are not solving the problem but serve to inflame the laceration. You all laughed and laughed at Lyndon Larouche’s forecasts, not really understanding a “process” as opposed to “events” -while others of your plumage had more sinister intentions- the lower 80% were increasingly becoming more destitute. Higher unemployment, increasing foreclosures, living conditions becoming more onerous, while the official response from the prior and current administrations, along with international finance, was to save the banks and secure their system.
Larouche’s October of 2006 collapse was laughed at, Larouche calling of phase shifts acceleratingly downward were laughed at, BUT THE SOLUTIONS HAVE NEVER BEEN DISCREDITED BY THE LEAGUE OF LOSERS YOU ALL SHOW YOURSELVES TO BE!
There are no solutions in Washington, there are certainly no solutions in international finance or the EMPIRE SYSTEM, only to allow a reduction of the world’s population by securing the deaths of those third world nations not “fit” to survive, such and kindred malities as the Haitians now face. As the American people continue to suffer, the resolution is comming into focus; Impeach Obama, and get real solutions that are not aiding international finance but sever their grip on the throats of the lower 80%!
So what is the context of your your attacks, what authority do you have?
By slandering Larouche, are you out in the streets proposing any solutions? Are you out in the streets trying to Save NASA, address the economic breakdown of the system? COME TO THINK OF IT WHAT THE HELL DO YOU DO!!
Are you even capable of removing your penis from the warm USB port of your computer (that’s the only reason I can surmise that you’re still here!!) and getting into the streets to start your slander campaign against Larouche to grow your following, like all real valid movements! In the public eye provoking public discourse to create mental upsurges (and not ejaculatory one’s)!
But that’s enough.
The Mass Strike, a servant of reality, undercuts the slanderers claims!

I thought you might have been permanently banned from the unreality land that is the Internet, or something. I take it that the moniker “Time For Truth” is to be read with understood exclamation marks and perhaps Capitalized letters, and perhaps a reverbating echo: “TIME FOR TRUTH!!!”
We shook shit up, and this Scott Brown victory doesn’t even hold a candle!
Except, you know, he’s actually in the Senate, has had effects on policy matters, probably going to be voted out of office in two years but he’ll deal with that one.
Every two years since 2002 I mean to scour about for what I call a “Gordon Allen Pross Project”, but it’s more effort than it’d be worth. The body politic is littered with rather… odd… or eccentric… people running for office, and some of them actually win a primary. So the names just float out there sometimes. If I were in Montana, I would have voted for Bob Kelleher, the Republican Senate candidate in Montana in 2008, really I would have.
I am a proponent that every election contest should host a (forced onto all the local stations) televised debate, whatever the circumstances of the contest. I say, even though he’d just as well gladly pass it, that Pete Olson MUST debate Kesha Rogers. I don’t quite know if the Larouche Movement would want such a thing either — note the news stories that end with Kesha Rogers refusing comments to the press. (Which is quite different than, for instance, Scott Brown, or the primary contestants in Arkansas, Pennsylvania, and Florida who are quite eager to take press quips.)

So, if I were a Republican, I’d concede this one House race. Imagine the fun the next two years would bring us.

Kesha ran an aggressive campaign calling for the impeachment of Obama, and the implementation of the LaRouche Plan for economic recovery. This undeniable landslide victory is a referendum for the immediate ouster of President Obama.

Yes, it sends a powerful message that not many people pay attention or vote in Democratic nomination in a district that always, barring a fluke (like a major scandal and games by the incumbent that lead no Republican running in the general election), always goes Republican.

Just to keep from having absolutely no respect for humanity, I assume anything this insane is just clever humor or more-clever satire. Like the Flat Earth Society. That has to be a joke.

In any event, I’m out of here once again. Reading this blog is too demeaning and disturbing an experience for me.

Now Olson faces Lyndon LaRouche Democrat Kesha Rogers. Rogers wants to bring home the troops but unfortunately, apparently, wants to send them to to the moon. Texas Democrats are already mulling the possibility of removing Rogers as the Democratic candidate (which would leave Democrats with a write-in candidate) because she supports impeaching Obama.
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/03/i_will_take_our_troops_out_of.html
But neither Rogers’s “about” page or her “platform” page mentions impeachment.
While I can support putting our troops into space (anything that revives the space program is good), I can’t support her opposition to our British Imperial controllers. If we rebel against them now, they’ll overwhelm us with dry comedy and perfectly steeped tea, and we’ll be at their mercy.

So no real responses eh’, no suprise there.
@ Ms. Holmes: What you should do is go listen to NPR’s The giant Pool of Money Podcast series. There are three of them and Lyndon Larouche’s October 2006 collapse of the system forecast, way back in February 2006, were independently confirmed in that series of shows.
Lyndon Larouche’s later April 2007 subsequent shift downward was to the days on point.
Lyndon Larouche is a Genius.
Nonetheless It should be made clear that Larouche was not only right but this nation is in severe trouble and the ideas need mastering, the slanderers will continue to slander, but they can not present anything that will inspire solutions to the mess the world is in.

Also to the other guy who made Scott Brown some amusing anomaly, the mass strike is in effect. Therefore all the punditry that had a modicum of sense are of no use any longer.
The recently late Kennedy’s District was won by Brown, Barney Frank’s district was won by Brown, and the guy is a Republican in as blue of a field as Kesha’s is Red!
1st and second on the chopping block was New Jersey Mayor, then North Carolina’s Mayor both Democrats. Then in New York, in a Tom Delay style of Red field (minus the scandal) the incumbent lost to a democrat.
The amusing anomaly theory does not hold water when the appropriate context is considered.
Now it’s Kesha’s time to represent the mass strike.

Hm. Texas Democratic Fail. I see the quote the Larouche org will be able to play with for a while.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/metro/6899832.html
“One of the things the LaRouchites are able to do is to engage young people,†said Gerry Birnberg, chairman of the Harris County Democratic Party. “If she can turn out young people to vote for Democrats, all the better.â€
Birnberg said Rogers has much to commend her. He said his main objection to her candidacy is her association with LaRouche, and that if she instead held many of the same views but belonged to a group called “LBJ Democrats,†her ideas would appear much more mainstream.
Lyndon? Get it? (Similar statements made in the 2008 South Carolina Senate Primary victor of Bob Conley. I don’t think there were too many similar wins for 2008 Montana Senate Primary victor Bob Kelleher.)

The ethical woes facing Democrats are piling up, with barely a day passing in recent weeks without headlines from Washington to New York and beyond filled with word of scandal or allegations of wrongdoing.
Democrats, already on the defensive over the economy, health care and federal spending and are facing a re-energized conservative movement.

Texas allows crossover voting so most of those votes may have come from mischievous Republicans. In this heavily Republican district, the Republican incumbent Pete Olson faced no challengers so his supporters were able to mix it up in the Democratic primary.
My gut says “no”.

They are strange. Some of their leaders smell (I am not kidding). When they were block walking for their LaRouchite values they would sing at the door step. (Again. Not kidding) They have a relatively young group of people who walk around reciting the talking points of “Intergalactic Space Trade” (really).
http://halfempth.blogspot.com/2010/03/and-funding-kesha-rogers-campaign.html
No, according to the FEC, Rogers took in $3,326 spent $1,315 and had $2011 on hand, as of January 26th, 2010. All of her funding, from what I could see, was from followers of Lyndon LaRouche (who sometimes, but not often, donated to True Democrats).
As a footnote, I decided to take a look at who were the money people behind Doug Blatt’s campaign. That one was easy because the single biggest contributor to Doug Blatt for Congress was Doug Blatt. His wife and parents came in 2nd and 3rd. Oh, and one In Kind donation from the Texas Democratic Party for access to the Voter Activation Network.
I posted my comment there.
March 20th, 2010 at 8:15 am
on the Obama measure provides a rather vivid picture of just how Obama persuaded Kucinich to switch his vote. In an excruciatingly odd statement, Kucinich said “I have doubts about the bill. This is NOT the bill I wanted to support.†Uh, then why support it?
Because, he said, he had been persuaded that a defeat on the legislation would destroy any potential left in Obama’s presidency. “…the thing that has bothered me is that this (a defeat) would delegitimize his presidency. That hurts the nation when that happens,†Kucinich reasoned. “We have to be very careful that President Obama’s presidency not be destroyed… even though I have many differences with him on policy, there’s something much bigger at stake here for America.â€
After viewing Kucinich’s press conference, several members of Congress told this author that it was clear to them that Obama had accused Kucinich of “supporting Lyndon LaRouche’s agenda†– most specifically, LaRouche’s call for Obama’s removal from office. When Kucinich was asked directly if this is, what in fact, had occurred, a distraught Kucinich refused to discuss it.
Kucinich’s normally loyal base apparently responded badly to the flip. By Thursday, Kucinich called another press conference announcing that he would return all contributions that had been made by voters who did so believing he would oppose Obama on the measure.
As of this writing, members of both the Progressive and the Hispanic Caucuses continue to get personal calls from the President. Publicly, they report Obama’s pitch is that this bill has to be passed “for the health and strength†not only of HIS presidency, but of the presidency in general, and that the Democratic Party will be irreparably damaged, if not destroyed. Privately, one leader of the Hispanic Caucus admitted he was shocked when the President bluntly demanded to know what his relationship was to Lyndon LaRouche.
According to the most recent report issued by the House Democratic Whip’s office, Pelosi is still at least eight votes short of the 216 votes she needs to win passage. Ultimately, though, it is hardly the issue. Passage of the bill will NOT save Obama’s presidency. In reality, passage of the hated measure may actually hasten the end of Obama’s presidency. And, in reality, the President is right to fear LaRouche. It is LaRouche’s policy, as well as LaRouche’s declaration of war on Obama’s British controllers, that pose the greatest threat to Obama’s treason.
