Sarah Palin sends mixed messages on Public Healthcare
posted by kandinski at 2010-03-08 21:37

seti: FUCK YEAH THAT'S WHAT ONE COULD CALL IRONIC.
kandinski: Hypocritic bitch would deny others the socialised healthcare and union protection she herself confesses to enjoying
kandinski: Remember when she was calling Obama a socialist and boasting of the Oil dividend to the people of Alaska in the same sentence?
seti: The Right's attitude towards the less well-off: "I Got Mine, So Fuck You"
kandinski: "In fact, stay right where you are for a little while so I can climb higher by stepping on your heads"
seti: "... and shitting on your shoulders so they get slippery and it becomes harder for others who also want to crawl up."
thelink: seti++ this is like an instruction manual for people who want to crawl up the ladder of maggots to be chief maggot in shittown

thelink: "March 3, 2010, San Francisco - Industry leaders Google, PayPal, Equifax, VeriSign, Verizon, CA, and Booz Allen Hamilton today announced the formation of the Open Identity Exchange (OIX)"
thelink: vs bruce schneier on why you shouldn't even be using a computer
thelink: can't wait until this is all somehow linked into being voted in as president
thelink: **"Google, Equifax, and PayPal will be the first three identity providers to issue digital identity credentials as a way to enable privacy-protected registration and login at U.S. government Web sites. "
thelink: "What makes these sorts of credentials compelling is that that they allow users to be authenticated without necessarily being identified."
thelink: it works by magic!
thelink: <govt and big business> YOU CAN TRUST US! BECAUSE ... WE'RE ... TRUSTWORTHY!
thelink: you know it's true, right?
thelink: i guess the getout is "without necessarily" ... such a system would allow users to attach without necessarily being identified, if the superspies at the top don't choose to clue in to that user's id ...
thelink: "without necessarily" .. repeat after me children, "without necessarily"
thelink: more in braindead transcription of media release forms in our next issue
thelink: other interesting keywords: "compelling", "encouraging", and of course, "trust framework"
thelink: brought to you by letter Z
thelink: yes, it's govt certified
thelink: it ties into a govt framework announced at the RSA security conference ... allowing single login to defence systems and gmail?
