HP JUST CUT 25,000 JOBS (Oh, yes, this is a great economy. . . .lol):

/////////////////

OPINION OF TARDIS AND THE HARE:

EDS was Ross Perot's company. The main fortune of EDS was made in a very shady way:

Perot contracted to computerize General Motors (it sounds very efficient, doesn't it?). He then told GM that he would shut them down if they didn't pay him off (he controlled the payroll, manufacturing machines, etc., and only he knew how all of those new-fangled electronic gadgets worked). A deal was cut, and Perot's EDS made a fortune, and with that fortune, Perot bought GM stock and worked out a deal to control GM.

Perot was such a nuisance at GM that they agreed to buy him out (for a huge amount of money).

All the while, Perot was blaring pro-Perot propaganda at GM employees (they thought that he was almost another Christ sent to save them). Every employee of GM was required to watch pro-Perot videos.

Perot, after leaving GM, ran for the presidency. He was a staunch Republican, but after the failure of the GHW Bush administration, he knew that the Republican goose was cooked, so he founded a new political party (on of the Independent parties). The crook's new party was touted as the "Reform Party" which was far more holy and good than the other two parties.

Perot then hired a former Special Ops soldier who worked with the GHW Bush Administration on the illegal Iran Contra program. Perot paid him to tell lies about Clinton and the Democrats and blame Clinton for receiving cocaine shipments in Arkansas as part of the cocaine deals made in the Iran Contra scandal. Later, the Special Ops ex-soldier confessed to the deal that he made with the crook, Ross Perot.

How many crooks did Ross Perot put in EDS, and will they pull shenanigans on their new parent company, Hewlett Packard?

HP also had some harsh dealings recently with one of its founders. Mr. Hewlett was quite old, and said to be a doddering fool, but he was certainly not. He was pushed out of leadership of Hewlett Packard, so he sold his HP assets and bought shares in Agilent Technologies (a spin-off of HP).

And 17,000 more Obama voters at Merril Lynch.

Well that's a positive outlook. Tanking the dollar will assure Obama's win. Then you have to ask what will the 'long term' legislation look like when we dive into this depression.

Remember, some 'national security' laws written during FDR's terms were never removed. This is why it was so easy to create the structure which permitted the military industrial complex and their corporations to takeover the country. And now, we can't get rid of them.

Until Obama addresses 'Homeland Security' versus our 'inalienable rights', much of what we're about to witness is further deconstruction of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Well said Morgan. thumbsup.gif

Morgan--YOU SAID IT, and very well I might add. They have been trying to undo everything FDR did. He wanted to save us, they want to kill us as a country. What happens then? Who takes over? Who makes the laws? What becomes of the middle and lower classes? They do. It is exactly why we revolted against England in the first place, but it didn't go the way they wanted it to go, they wanted control, power, and unchecked at that. We are fighting tyranny in a different name, it's called corprotacrisy and we will lose, unless we rise up and fight back. The problem is, most people are idiots and will vote for those that would fuck them in the ass before telling the truth.

It's her fault. smile.gif
Her comment today was a real winner.
Funny to hear her say something like that when she was shitcanned herself...
Apparently no one can run a corporation, in her opinion.
