Whose Been Filtering the #mepolitics Twitter Stream?



TWEET THIS POST ! http://goo.gl/fguFuY

Yesterday, I noticed that my posts were either not displaying or went missing after a while on the #mepolitics twitter stream, which streams live on As Maine Goes.

I also noticed that there were other independent political voices missing from that same stream and the stream took on an eerie appearance of the eternal brotherhood of the Maine government & the Maine press, useful, to my perspective, only in keeping up to date on news stories such as the story published by the Bangor Daily News about Question #3- yet another bond promoted as being in support of Maine's economy.

Credit goes to the Bangor Daily News for still, at this date, so close to elections allowing the people's voice to be heard in the comments section, which is in stark contrast to the Maine media coverage of last years Expanded and Improved Seed Capital Tax Credit. 

The people's response in the comments section is a resounding NO! NO! NO! from the voice of the public, who is the beast of burden financing the Corporation of Maine's designs on our economy.

Nowhere in last years media coverage did I find full disclosure about what is in the "Expanded and Improved Seed Capital Tax Credit", which I researched independently by reading the statute and reported my findings in this blog post:Improved" Seed Capital Tax Credit Ramps Up Benefits For Maine's "Targeted Sector http://goo.gl/BLmk7E

I learned more when I worked for almost a month researching A Maine Citizen's Journey Through The Statute's of Transformation http://goo.gl/5cmdhZ a statutory history documenting the construction of The Maine Corporation- or the Corporation Without A Name but possessing a huge network of subsidiary corporations with names like The Maine Development Foundation, The FAME Corporation, the DECD Corporation, the MTI Corporation, The SEGF Corporation- whose name was recently changed to the MVF corporation, The Advanced Manufacturing Center at the University of Maine Corporation, The Aqua Ventus "Business Consortium" also at The University of Maine Corporation- and so on- inclusive of The Maine State Owned Liquor Business.

For instance while researching the time line, I learned that the percentage that the Maine people are required to refund to capital investors and owners of the means of production for their capital investments was upped in 2011 from 40% to 60%  When the Seed Capital tax Credit was first instituted, the amount the taxpayers were required to refund of the owners of the mean's of production was 30% and so the peoples mandated charitable donations to the owners of the means of production has doubled since the Seed Capital Tax Credit was instituted and it has increased 50% under the Lepage administration- and it can now be said that the beasts of burden in this picture- the Maine taxpayer - has to refund capitalists the lion's share of their investment, while the capitalists is allowed to retain all of his profits. This I know ONLY because I dug deeper than the information that the Maine media makes available to the public much to the benefit of the Maine Corporation.

SURPRISE ! As I write, the independent voices have suddenly returned to the #mepolitics live stream since this morning when I posted this tweet:



This is the way the stream looked at 7:43 am on 9/29/2014 and pretty much how it looked yesterday as well.



This is the way it looked a few minutes ago when I checked at 9am:



Do you see the difference?

One More Screen Shot ! I just reposted and documented this tweet, which kept going missing on #mepolitcs when I tried to post it yesterday: It did not go missing on #corporatism

Maine Tax Payers unacknowledged beast of burden in Maine Venture Fund blog by Tim Agnew

Documented!

AfterNote: There are always going to be those who tell me that I am mistaken to believe that an external entity is interfering in my social media interactions, simply because in the days of In-Q-Tel and a politicized IRS and so on, such an idea is too fantastic to accept - However shortly after posting this I became aware that others were posting on my wall for the new Facebook Page, Maine Taxpayers United For The Maine Constitution. However those posts did not post to my wall but went to my personal messages. I have checked the settings for all the Facebook pages I start and a they are set to allow others to post but consistently I am the only one who does post despite the fact that when I post in other places my posts usually engage participation from others- just not on Facebook Pages that I start, where there is no participation at all from others. Usually I do not receive messages either. If there is an external party messing with my social network interactions- the messages could have been delivered by mistake. I have not received any new messages since I posted a screen shot and explained what was occurring on said Facebook Page.

Why are social impact investors trying so hard to defeat smaller shelters for the homeless?

  "Social Impact” developers in Portland, Maine seek to squelch a referendum for smaller shelters called for by qualified practitioners with concrete experience in the field. A large sign says Vote C to support the Homeless, small handmade sign next to it says Untrue! That sign is paid for by developers who want / Photo by Jess Falero In   the 1970s under Governor Longley , Maine became a centrally managed economy that expanded Maine’s wealth gap and merged, almost seamlessly, the public and private and the non-profit and for-profit economic sectors into one mutually beneficial wealth-concentration & distribution system. Currently, mutually benefitting factions are coming together once again in hopes of building a mega-shelter for the homeless in a Portland, Maine industrial development district. In addition to beds for the homeless, the project will include, dining, and locker facilities, as well as offices and an attached health clinic. The promotion  describes the facility

The Lepage Plan- Filled with Inconsistencies

Tweet This http://goo.gl/dp9zpP In recent weeks we have been hearing that LePage wants to eliminate the income tax. My initial response was I'll believe it when I see it . During his tenure, LePage has agressively advanced corporate welfare, which our legislature and administration justify via the means of an income tax on labor. The state of Maine, being in fact today the corporation of Maine, and run in the interests of profit would not be able to justify the massive tax payer give-a-ways to capitalists without claimimg such a policy is profitable because it produces a high end labor tax base which brings in the revenue. So when LePage floats the concept that he wants to eliminate the income tax, I say that even if that were actually Lepage's intent it is highly improbable that it can ever happen without first deconstructing the corporate state and its ever expanding corporate welfare system. To start with expanding the instances in which sales tax will be collected is e

FaceBook Blocking- in-Q-Tel and the Private Hegemony Of Power

TWEET THIS:  http://goo.gl/9y2MiH  Recently a message appeared  on my screen , being identified as from Facebook. It brought up the Facebook login screen and warned against sending friend requests to people that one does not know in one's circle of friends , family, work, and classmates I first received the message several months ago. The first message included a list of twenty names of people who did not respond to my friend request over all the years that I have been on Facebook. It asked that I delete all the requests and suggested that I stop sending friend requests for a week. The next was a list of 7 names - some of them very recent requests, which I did not think were given adequate response time. The third message to appear  told  that I am blocked for a week from adding friends and displayed a list of five names- all very recent requests- all in response to those with whom I interacted on Facebook- and one within the last hour of receiving the message This is
