The RATM Chronicles - Vol 1

In our last examination of twitter feeds, we discussed the falsity expressed by @mattcsantor and others on the topic of "My way or the Highway". This time lets change direction a bit and examine pseudo personalities on the Socialist / Communist / Leftist / Democrat side.

So this time lets look at the twitter handles @RATM4 and @MTARRATM. These seem somewhat odd, and both are all caps, also odd. The second is just RATM backwards plus RATM. So they might actually be the same person, just with two handles. Or perhaps a teammate co-conspirator.

 Since google and such search engines can be quite useful, a search for RATM shows that https://www.google.com/search?q=ratm 
RATM is an acronym for the heavy metal band "Rage Against The Machine". So now the all caps makes sense. And since @RATM is the twitter handle for the band, it was already taken. Thus @RATM4 had to be used by the individual mentioned above.

OK, so what is the band "Rage Against The Machine" all about? Reading some of the web pages from the search we find that they are radical, violent, profane in language, anti-Establishment (meaning anti-Capitalist, anti-Western culture, etc),  and appear from the descriptions to be Marxist, Communist, Socialist, etc. in their associations, lyrics, and actions.


To verify some of that, another search to see if they are associated with Occupy Wall Street (#ows on twitter):

https://www.google.com/search?q="Rage+Against+The+Machine"+%23ows

So yes, they are deeply involved with #ows, a movement that is also anti-Capitalist, anti-Western culture, anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-Liberty, Marxist, Communist, Socialist, etc.

Looking a bit farther, we can search for another association, Marxism, Communism, etc:
https://www.google.com/search?q="Rage+Against+The+Machine"+marx
and
https://www.google.com/search?q="Rage+Against+The+Machine"+communist

Picking an article and taking a snippet we find this, that it is understood the group was radical, Marxist, and tended to invoke criminality:

This article looks at the existence of radical criminology outside of academe, as it examines the notion of a radical approach to the understanding of crime as it is presented in popular culture. Specifically, the work of the now defunct band Rage Against The Machine is examined as exemplifying the radical perspective. As Alkhvist (1999) notes, "Faith No More's 'War Pigs' (1989) and Rage Against The Machine's leftist melding of metal and rap (1992, 1996, 1999) also take aim at the same targets as Marx" (p. 133). These works are analyzed in regards to their ability to reflect the radical position

We also find that the group uses the "red star" of Communism in its symbolism:

The same flag, a black flag with a red star, was used by US rock band Rage Against the Machine – who were vocal supporters of the EZLN and other left causes – so much so that the symbol came to be associated with the band, separate from the EZLN. The red star is used by the Workers' Party (Brazil). It is also used by the militant South African shack dweller's movement Abahlali base Mjondolo.

So now we have linked @RATM4 and his clone @MTARRATM (whose avatar on twitter is the #ows Guy Fawkes mask) with:
  • #ows or Occupy Wall Street
  • Communism
  • Marxism
  • Socialism
  • Anti Capitalism
  • Anti America
  • Anti Western Culture
  • Anti Business
  • Anti Wall Street (investing, where you have your 401K, etc)
  • Anti Constitution
  • Anti Hoosier values and Constitution (Indiana State)
  • Anti law enforcement (just check out how #ows treats the police and firemen)
  • Anti Success, since Socialism has been proven to always fail, and always will
  • Anti Liberty (goes with all the above)
  • Anti progress, energy, etc
  • Anti prosperity
  • OK, I could go on and on.... so etc.
 OK, I think what we have established here without question is that if YOU are against this kind of radical attitude as a productive, caring, Hoosier and American, then RATM in any name and message will be understood to be totally geared toward moving toward a society of failure and poverty, of tyranny, death, and misery.

And by that anything that @RATM4 and his clone @MTARRATM can be presume and proven to be twisted, in factual error, and should simply be disregarded as much as any other radical leftists such as Lenin, Stalin, Ho Chi Minn, Castro, etc.

And you must consider that NO ONE posting to #insen, #fortwayne, etc on twitter that is a Democrat and leftist has criticized the RATM posts at all! Instead, they are retweeting these tweets or posts. They agree, because they are leftists too. And since they agree, they are as radical as well.

Or simply as clueless as one could imagine. Which of those doesn't matter since they are supporting the end result.

Now the question remains, who else supports this trash?
Now, we also know that Democrat Candidate Joe Donnelly supports Nancy Pelosi, Barrack Hussein Obama, and Harry Reid completely, and provides that support in any way he can. It follows that Joe Donnelly supports #ows and RATM, and has in fact, like the other Democrats, never once denounced any of this. He does however, conveniently forget to mention that he is a Democrat often enough in the ads.

I don't know how more clear we can make this: Joe Donnelly, Democrat, is bad for Indiana, bad for America, bad for business, bad for investment, bad for peace, bad for investment, bad for freedom, bad for the Constitution.
Period.

Vote for a true American and Hoosier, vote for Richard Mourdock and all the rest of the true Americans that value the Constitution and Hoosier values.
