Advice for Greece and the formation of the EFEC Axis Powers - Marcus2012 - Bull Moose Party

Most American’s don’t have a clue about what has been going on in Greece and the EU over the past month…actually, most American’s probably can’t find it on a map or think Greece is just a Broadway show, still a part of the Roman Empire or a by-product of the British Petroleum Gulf of Mexico oil spill.


In spite of this, the Marcus for President 2012 Presidential campaign feels compelled to dispense a policy view and some potential options for the Greek people who are taking it up the *ss.  You see, most Americans have a great deal of recent experience in this department.
Over the past 30 years the rich have become tremendously wealthier while the middle class shrinks and American’s lose quality of life, education, privacy rights, purchasing power etc.   What's the parallel with Greece?  The political and corporate institutions that caused the recent crash made tons of money on the way up...on the way down...and are again as markets recover while Joe Q. Citizen Taxpayer foots the bill in exchange for all states drastically cutting education, pay, benefits etc. to the bone.  Like in Greece as in America, the groups that won't feel it are the one's who caused it...and if they do feel it a little at least the bankers, corporate America and politicians don’t have to send their kids to public schools!


Now let’s look at Greece...very similar situation in Greece as California however Cali has the benefit of the Federal system and in America only the rich, politicians and big companies avoid taxes whereas in Greece everyone avoids taxes. The country is now in a crisis to repay its debt as the economy contracts and tax receipts remain low. Guess who pays? The rich, the politicians and the bankers who caused the collapse…I think we know the answer…the masses are to pay. Countries and people so often praise hero’s who lead by example…yet you so rarely see it from the leadership that causes such mismanagement and crises…

The Greeks are pissed off; rioting and I think it’s good to see a people with a backbone (and no I am not condoning the deaths, just civil disobedience ala Thoreau, MLK, Gandhi, ). More American’s might be but there’s so much damned fluoride in the water and corn syrup in the food it’s not likely until a breaking point.

Some Thoughts and Options for The Greek People

Greece is now screwed royally and people are pissed.  What should have happened was to severely renegotiate the terms of the debt along with long-term reformation programs. Instead, Greece is getting a bailout from Germany / the EU in exchange for drastically cutting government spending and increasing taxes while the GDP is contracting at 5+%, manufacturing shrinking by 20+% etc.

My advice to the Greeks:
  • Don’t pay the debt, screw the EU and have a national toga party, I and many others will still visit for sure which will help the economy
  • Gang-up with Iceland, Portugal and some combination of Italy, Spain, the UK, Poland (recent, sad leadership vacuum) or Russians. First invade Switzerland…take their money/gold, you can probably take it over in a few days (element of surprise). As far as allies go, the UK is pretty broke and the recent elections will complicate matters, so you are likely going to need Italy, Spain or Russia as allies in addition to Iceland and Portugal. Once you have the money and gold from Switzerland, the combined forces of the Economically Fucked European Countries (EFEC) should invade Germany (SEE MY INVASION PLANS MAP BELOW).  Why should the damned Germans always get to strike first and they've got the money now so get them while their pants are down...use their money to fund the invasion of them!  Plus the German media and politicians have been spitting racist comments and slurs about the Greeks throughout their bailout debates...time for payback Greek people! 
  • Lastly, history repeats itself…pre-empt the inevitable cycle and invade the former Persian Empire countries. There’s nothing like a war to galvanize a population and get the engines of industry pumping.

Marcus for President 2012…Sensible policies for a sensible world!

‘If a thousand [citizens] were not to pay their tax-bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood. This is, in fact, the definition of a peaceable revolution, if any such is possible.’ - Thoreau

National CAPTCHA Act - Marcus for President 2012 - Bull Mosse Party

If you’ve been on the internet at all over the past two years then you more than likely have experienced CAPTCHA - "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart" (pronounced /ˈkæptʃə/). According to wikipedia, CAPTCHA is defined as a type of challenge-response test used in computing to ensure that the response is not generated by a computer. The process usually involves one computer (a server) asking a user to complete a simple test which the computer is able to generate and grade.



Note the definition says ‘simple test’…this is complete bullshit. I have been taking pictures of these things for the past six months as the word combinations can be pretty funny and unless you are on LSD some are completely illegible.


My personal policy is to never go back to a site if they have shitty / pain in the ass CAPTCHA. What I think is sad is that companies are pushing the time burden and annoyance back on consumers vs. building better firewalls, security etc.


If elected your President in 2012 I will either ban this crap or put in place a law where you get paid by the companies using it for every time you have to deal with CRAPTCHA.

Campaign Pledge - National Slap, Swear & Grope Week - Marcus 2012 Bull Moose Party

I recently came across a few studies that showed workers who swear in the workplace have much greater camaraderie and far less stress than those who do not. After working in the UK for a while I also realized how uptight and politically correct corporate America and the P.C. police can make you become. In American corporate culture you don’t know if you’re allowed or safe to compliment a woman…In the UK women would harass me and slap my bum if I bent over!


Needless to say, I liked it and I think America needs a week where everyone is protected from litigation and everyone is entitled to swear and grope when they like it and if someone deserves a good slap across the face or ass you can do it. I suspect this will help Americans let off some steam and *ssholes will be a little less *ssholeish leading up to the week.


Even though I am not yet President, you still have my permission to swear at work, slap your boss and grope whoever you want!  If you don't like it...*uck you and the high horse you came in on!

US Airlines & Air force 1 Act - Marcus 2012 Bull Moose Party

I think most Americans have been and remain pretty fed-up with the quality of service provided by US Airlines. Major US airlines are now modeling their standards after Europe’s major discount airlines like EasyJet and RyanAir by charging you for every bag, snack and probably soon to go to the bathroom! The big difference is you can fly on those airlines for $19-99 vs. flying from Atlanta to Charlotte for $399+ on a major US airline while paying for your bags in addition.

One reason I am told is foreign airlines are prevented from competing on US domestic routes. Since corporations like capitalism so much when it serves them, one part of my Airline Act will be to open up the routes to foreign competition. Next, I shall only keep in place existing incentives to airlines who bring back the flair of the 1960’s and 1970’s by bringing back good looking flight attendants ala JetAirways & King Fisher Airlines of India. Furthermore, incentives and breaks will be tied to CUSTOMER SATISFACTION…novel thought.

I promise to lead by example and will ensure Air force One has a fine selection of ladies, a well stocked bar, dance floor and even a few Calvin Klein or Chippendale models so I don’t offend the female vote too much.

Presidential Proclamation - New National Holiday August 29th Let Them Eat Cake Day

August 29th 2005 is the day Hurricane Katrina made it’s landfall with the gulf coast / Louisiana. We all know about the debacle, loss of life and decades leading up to it of the government ignoring the levee issues. What I didn’t know until recently was that in addition to appointing an incompetent buddy to be in charge of FEMA, America’s great and brilliant leader George W. Bush also tried (for two days) to make the case that the disaster was not the federal government’s responsibility / jurisdiction including spreading mis-information that Louisiana had not properly requested assistance.



What the *uck is the damned government for and why do we pay so much in taxes then? Duh…, that’s right we pay taxes for people to have cushy / secure bureaucratic jobs, finance wars, finance laws / agencies to protect us from ourselves and so guys like Bush and Cheney can further enrich themselves and their friends.


Even Nero did a better job than Bush after Rome burned, therefore, I proclaim August 29th shall be a national holiday where we can remember all those who perished as well as not forget the brilliance of the Bush administration.

A few quotes on Katrina of note...

(before it happened)
“It appears that the money has been moved in the president's budget to handle homeland security and the war in Iraq.” Walter Maestri, emergency management chief for Jefferson Parish, speaking to New Orleans Times-Picayune, June 8, 2004


“If terrorists had achieved this result, it would rank as the greatest terrorist success in history.”

Somthing to think about and apologies I don't have the 2010 numbers but I highly doubt it has decreased...
  • U.S. military spending for FY 2008 is larger than military spending by all of the other nations in the world combined.
  • At $141.7 billion, this year's proposed spending on the Iraq war is larger than the military budgets of China and Russia combined.
  • Total U.S. military spending for FY2008 is roughly ten times the military budget of the second largest military spending country in the world, China.

Imagine what could be done for the unemployed, schools, homeless, and hungry in this country with some of that...Oh yeah, but according to us we are the greatest and most civilized country in the world...

And finally, some top Bush Katrina Quotes:
  • "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees." –President Bush, on "Good Morning America," Sept. 1, 2005, six days after repeated warnings from experts about the scope of damage expected from Hurricane Katrina
  • "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job." –President Bush, to FEMA director Michael Brown, while touring hurricane-ravaged Mississippi, Sept. 2, 2005
  • "Now tell me the truth boys, is this kind of fun?" –House Majority Leader Tom Delay (R-TX), to three young hurricane evacuees from New Orleans at the Astrodome in Houston, Sept. 9, 2005
  • "We've got a lot of rebuilding to do ... The good news is — and it's hard for some to see it now — that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house — he's lost his entire house — there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch." (Laughter) —President Bush, touring hurricane damage, Mobile, Ala., Sept. 2, 2005
  • "We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn't do it, but God did." –Rep. Richard Baker (R-LA) to lobbyists, as quoted in the Wall Street Journal

Pervert Popes and Priests Castration & Confiscation Act - Marcus for President 2012

People in the USA yell and scream about gay marriage, infidelity and health care but when it comes to male priests in large numbers sticking their dicks in little boys everyone is quiet. I can’t be the only one who thinks this stuff is completely disgusting and *ucked up? What we know about is probably only the tip of the iceberg as with most scandals and rape.



If you haven’t received the 411 on the latest scandal, the current pope (who looks like the Emperor from Star Wars) covered up and protected another pervert priest who took out his sexual frustrations on OVER 200 young DEAF BOYS. They’ll probably start going after paraplegics next.


I therefore propose there be no statute of limitations for these bastards anymore, these fuckers be castrated and churches founds covering up this crap will have all their assets confiscated and sold with the proceeds going to the victims.
