When protests in Madison, Wisconsin broke out with Republican Governor Scott Walker's budget proposal, state firefighters immediately backed the public sector workers, who would be stripped of collective bargaining rights in the bill.

Never mind the firefighters, along with cops and state troopers, were exempt from the union busting legislation. They have been protesting since day one with their self described working "brothers and sisters" in the public sector.

Monday night, around sixty men and women marched from Madison's Fire Station #1 to the capitol with blankets, pillows and plenty of snacks to spend the night with fellow protesters on the hard marble floor of Wisconsin's capitol.

"We just couldn't stand by and let this happen to our brothers and sisters," Mahlon Mitchell, State President of the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin (PFFW), said. "We are firefighters, we respond to emergencies, and we are responding to an emergency of the middle class,"

Certain people are bent on creating the illusion that the Wisconsin protesters are all teachers - time to dispel that myth.

" Premise Six: Civilization is not redeemable. This culture will not undergo any sort of voluntary transformation to a sane and sustainable way of living. If we do not put a halt to it, civilization will continue to immiserate the vast majority of humans and to degrade the planet until it (civilization, and probably the planet) collapses. The effects of this degradation will continue to harm humans and nonhumans for a very long time.

Here's how it works:

1) Meet in a shady smoke filled back room.

2) Take out of the US Treasury/budget what the Top 50 000. The Military. Health Care Insurance. Banksters. need.

3) The rest of the budget is then presented to the nation, from which the cuts necessary to 'balance' the budget will be taken.

4) This will be called Austerity.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat. As necessary. 8D

So how do you plan to kill off civilization, Dr. McDoom?

Which WMD do you prefer... 4 more years, or Mitts Romulin?

The Prime Mover in this case is King Ben, who has the helicopter on track for a one-way trip to Zimbabwe with every American along for the ride. Death of the world’s reserve currency “is irreversible, and it will unleash a cyclone of chaos and confusion that will leave many literally suspended in disbelief as the entire false paradigm most of humanity has lived under for their entire existence is washed away forever.”

The cheapest gas in America will be $3.40 by Monday which is why you no longer see Wisconsin flooding the post board to your right.
