THE MAKING OF A COMMUNIST COUNTRY

12/22/2009
also 12/26/2009


THE MAKING OF A COMMUNIST COUNTRY

Back in the seventies, I volunteered to join the army. Just like today, the economy was bad, and any way we were fighting the evil communists, so even a meager paycheck of three hundred sixty was good. Of course there were some other real good reasons too, but surely you don't want to be bothered.And if you wish to assume that I was somehow dysfunctional let me assure you I was not the only one. And besides, I knew something about communism besides the mere name, I had read about the purges and the gulags. I knew about the proletariat and the privileged classes.


I remember my days of ARTEPS, and WINTEX, of SQT testing and dealing with dope heads and junkies in our ranks at that time, but we were all patriots. Even when we had no money in the budget for fuel, we were ready to take on the communist.

There were times I was on guard duty, in three layers of pants and five layers of under shirt, shirt , field jacket parka and liner, carrying a PRC-77 radio on my back walking on ice in my mickey mouse boots and carrying empty M-16 and a base ball bat, guarding and ammo dump that I knew was empty, I was on the front line of the defense the United States, the freedom and capitalism.

We knew that the communism will fail, they paid people for jobs that involved no real work, they were lazy, and drunkards, and they had no morals, there countries were broke and surviving on money they kept printing. We were told that.

I LEARNED TO RECOGNIZE THE COMMUNISM

Then Mr. Reagan ran for president, I voted for him, he was going to balance the budget, and give us money for fuel for our vehicles, we could buy new equipment and parts, and ammo and fuel, we had more money now for defense. He busted the unions, starting with PATCO, I was an air traffic controller in the army by then and received a bonus for reenlisting. He instituted tax cuts, and the stock markets boomed, every American was going to be a millionaire.

DOGS, PONIES, AND THE OTHER THINGS

12/17/2009

DOGS, PONIES, AND THE OTHER THINGS

So, how was your day? Mine was fine too thanks for asking.
As you may have noticed, I skip around and lot and tend to get lost, sometimes I start writing something and then go away and start something else, but as I say, it is all connected, one to the other, so it does not matter if you are paying attention and following what I say.

And if you are paying attention, there is a lot going on in the world and in Washington DC, also all connected, from the global warming summit in Copenhagen ( now inconveniently called the climate change). And if you think what is going on in Copenhagen is just a bunch of crap then the goings on in Washington Dc will not be pleasing either. At the capital hill we used to have two types of useless asses, now we have four, count them, The Democrat asses, the Republican asses, and now the Independent ass and the Socialist ass.

As in , People! we don't have the money for health care anymore than the money we have to keep fighting two stupid wars.As in , People, we know all the money we are spending always ends up with the Chinese, Arabs and the Indians, any way, that's why we keep going more broke. No wonder the Chinese and Indian economies are recovering and we are still going down, because they keep getting our money (that's why we will be soon like them, a third world country with the people sleeping on the streets or living in Barrios. In the mean time Hillary has started to smoke Phillies, talking that crap about a hundered billion dollar slush fund, who has the money to fund it? Dubai?? haha, j.k. There is mental disease though, it is called confabulation, look it up. "

Confabulation is the formation of false memories, perceptions, or beliefs about the self or the environment as a result of neurological or psychological dysfunction.[1] When it is a matter of memory, confabulation is the confusion of imagination with memory, or the confused application of true memories.[2] Confabulations are difficult to differentiate from delusions and from lying.[3]",

It seem s to be a universal disorder, and real pandemic, not like the swine flu.While the White House had the Bankers over then a job summit, why not have an open and nationally televised debate about where all the money is going that we keep borrowing, and who and how will the deficit will be paid, and how really we are getting screwed by this globalization, climate change or not.

FAILURES OF CAPITALISM

12/11/2009
12/30/2009


FAILURES OF CAPITALISM


Why am I so pessimistic about the future of humanity? For years I have listed the failures of individuals and groups, of persons and society, not just to cast stones but also to enumerate their cost to country and humanity also. Time and time again I have shown how the capitalism model works and does not work, and how the consequences will be dire for our shortsightedness.




First of all, capitalism is designed to concentrate wealth, you pay the workers the least you can get away with and charge them the most they can pay. On the other hand you must produce goods and service for those who have money, so by design you can not help the poor even as you are the one keeping the people poor by paying them less. The system worked here for long time for three reasons, one the government spent money, two the government charged higher taxes and three we had very high levels of lending whereby people spent money from there future earnings.

With taxes being lowered, and the wages being lowered due to off shoring of work, the government deficits had to go up, since the government was not collecting as much as it needed to keep the people in food and shelter based on the wages only.




Two since the capitalism is not designed to cater to the poor, we have no public services for those who can not afford to pay, thus the lot of the poor is worse now than ever. As you see the corporations have never invested in anything that actually helps the poor, like cheap public housing or clean water or sewage services or public transportation where people have no money to pay for it.



Simply put then there are only two ways we can go. One is that the government keeps borrowing and spending till the country is considered socialist. Or that we have a two tiered society of the haves and the have nots, just like any other third world country. These are the two futures we have to choose from. The only other choice left would be to stop the poor from making babies, ie from creating more poor. Any one telling you any different is only either ignorant or lying.

OSLO SNUFF

12/10/2009

OSLO, COPENHAGEN SNUFF


Now that the messenger of peace has been promoting war, as we already knew, and the future of global warming is placed in doubt, where and how will the next shoe drop.

Just when you think you know what is happening, you are confused. Just when you know what is going on, you are lost. And the president of peace is justifying a war.

In the history of the Nobel many names have been obscure, at least to the average Euro_ American, so an under qualified one is also just par for the course, and in a strange twist of faith once more we here have a guy who no one had ever heard of four years ago, not only sitting in the seat of the president of the United States but also accepting the Nobel Prize for peace and all the man has to offer us and the world is his "Words". As the Bee Gees would once say

"You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say
It's only words, and words are all
I have to take your heart away"

Obama is nothing if not words, he makes a great speech and everyone loves him once again, no one more so than the republican right, but what did he really offer the world??

Go behind the words and look, Obama's speech is important for what it says as it is for what he did not say. Obama, once again had the world's ear and he kept quiet because he is sold out.

"In many ways, these efforts succeeded. Yes, terrible wars have been fought, and atrocities committed. But there has been no Third World War. The Cold War ended with jubilant crowds dismantling a wall. Commerce has stitched much of the world together. Billions have been lifted from poverty.






The ideals of liberty, self-determination, equality and the rule of law have haltingly advanced. We are the heirs of the fortitude and foresight of generations past, and it is a legacy for which my own country is rightfully proud.
"


First the World War II was fought to keep a tyrant in check and The United States entered it haltingly, but when we are talking about no new wars being fought is only because we have decided to let the tyrants be, yes we fought in Europe (Bosnia-Herzegovina) but let the murder in Liberia, Chad , Uganda, Rowonda and elsewhere in Africa continue, I let you make up your own mind as to why. Or is it commerce. like I said back in 2003, we don't care about Africa, we just need their minerals. Same as with the Arab and the Muslim world, the ideals of "liberty, self-determination, equality and rule of law" as Obama refers to them be damned.

Not a word here about The Chinese connection to the genocide in Sudan, because of our commerce with the Chinese, the patrons of the murderers in Sudan? Surely the people in Darfur don't give damn about our trade with China, while they are being killed, thus the trade is not only the cause of freedom it is a also the reason we are willing to "talk" with murderers. Admit it!







There is not a word about Tibet, or Chechnya, or Uighurs, no mention of the Palestinian problem, a mention of of a religious war fails to recognize that the creation of Israel it self was a result of people assuming a divine right to it.

And secondly, at the end of World War II the population of the planet was about two and half billion people, today over two and half billion people live at the edge of starvation, joblessness and extreme poverty, so what did we really accomplish with all this newly created wealth. Is poverty not the reason for the African civil wars and strife, and elsewhere too such as in the Philippines, and in the central American nations.

mandatory world abortion coming up ?

12/10/2009


Here is an eye opener for you, sincce I have been talking about population control for years now you can here it directly from horses mouth

http://www.thoughts.com/freeoholic836/blog/439400

Thanks for the post, back in September I wrote a series of articles here and on my main blog about reasons for population control, It is a fact of life and it is coming, like it or not, just as globalization is fact of life now, no matter how we get there and what the consequences my be. I have studied these problems for years it is not news to me, if "smart and educated" people want to have there heads stuck in the sand while they are engaged in virtual masturbation so much the better for the control. read also

mandatory world abortion coming up ?
COPENHAGEN: Population and climate change are intertwined but the population issue has remained a blind spot when countries discuss ways to mitigate climate change and slow down global warming, according to Zhao Baige, vice-minister of National Population and Family Planning Commission of China (NPFPC) .

"Dealing with climate change is not simply an issue of CO2 emission reduction but a comprehensive challenge involving political, economic, social, cultural and ecological issues, and the population concern fits right into the picture," said Zhao, who is a member of the Chinese government delegation.

Many studies link population growth with emissions and the effect of climate change.

"Calculations of the contribution of population growth to emissions growth globally produce a consistent finding that most of past population growth has been responsible for between 40 per cent and 60 percent of emissions growth," so stated by the 2009 State of World Population, released earlier by the UN Population Fund.

Although China's family planning policy has received criticism over the past three decades, Zhao said that China's population program has made a great historic contribution to the well-being of society.

As a result of the family planning policy, China has seen 400 million fewer births, which has resulted in 18 million fewer tons of CO2 emissions a year, Zhao said.

The real inconvenient truth
The whole world needs to adopt China's one-child policy

Diane Francis, Financial Post
Published: Tuesday, December 08, 2009
Copenhagen ‘a huge ploy,’ leading U.S. expert says

Liu Jin/AFP Ironically, China, despite its dirty coal plants, is the world's leader in terms of fashioning policy to combat environmental degradation, thanks to its one-child-only edict.
The "inconvenient truth" overhanging the UN's Copenhagen conference is not that the climate is warming or cooling, but that humans are overpopulating the world.

A planetary law, such as China's one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days.

The world's other species, vegetation, resources, oceans, arable land, water supplies and atmosphere are being destroyed and pushed out of existence as a result of humanity's soaring reproduction rate.

Ironically, China, despite its dirty coal plants, is the world's leader in terms of fashioning policy to combat environmental degradation, thanks to its one-child-only edict.

The intelligence behind this is the following:

-If only one child per female was born as of now, the world's population would drop from its current 6.5 billion to 5.5 billion by 2050, according to a study done for scientific academy Vienna Institute of Demography.

-By 2075, there would be 3.43 billion humans on the planet. This would have immediate positive effects on the world's forests, other species, the oceans, atmospheric quality and living standards.

-Doing nothing, by contrast, will result in an unsustainable population of nine billion by 2050.

Humans are the only rational animals but have yet to prove it. Medical and other scientific advances have benefited by delivering lower infant mortality rates as well as longevity. Both are welcome, but humankind has not yet recalibrated its behavior to account for the fact that the world can only accommodate so many people, especially if billions get indoor plumbing and cars.

The fix is simple. It's dramatic. And yet the world's leaders don't even have this on their agenda in Copenhagen. Instead there will be photo ops, posturing, optics, blah-blah-blah about climate science and climate fraud, announcements of giant wind farms, then cap-and-trade subsidies.

None will work unless a China one-child policy is imposed. Unfortunately, there are powerful opponents. Leaders of the world's big fundamentalist religions preach in favor of procreation and fiercely oppose birth control. And most political leaders in emerging economies perpetuate a disastrous Catch-22: Many children (i. e. sons) stave off hardship in the absence of a social safety net or economic development, which, in turn, prevents protections or development.

China has proven that birth restriction is smart policy. Its middle class grows, all its citizens have housing, health care, education and food, and the one out of five human beings who live there are not overpopulating the planet.

For those who balk at the notion that governments should control family sizes, just wait until the growing human population turns twice as much pastureland into desert as is now the case, or when the Amazon is gone, the elephants disappear for good and wars erupt over water, scarce resources and spatial needs.

The point is that Copenhagen's talking points are beside the point.

The only fix is if all countries drastically reduce their populations, clean up their messes and impose mandatory conservation
The UN report projected that if the global population would remain 8 billion by the year 2050 instead of a little more than 9 billion according to medium-growth scenario, "it might result in 1 billion to 2 billion fewer tons of carbon emissions".

Meanwhile, she said studies have also shown that family planning programs are more efficient in helping cut emissions, citing research by Thomas Wire of London School of Economics that states: "Each $7 spent on basic family planning would reduce CO2 emissions by more than one ton" whereas it would cost $13 for reduced deforestation, $24 to use wind technology, $51 for solar power, $93 for introducing hybrid cars and $131 electric vehicles.

She admitted that China's population program is not without consequences, as the country is entering the aging society fast and facing the problem of gender imbalance.

"I'm not saying that what we have done is 100 percent right, but I'm sure we are going in the right direction and now 1.3 billion people have benefited," she said.

She said some 85 percent of the Chinese women in reproductive age use contraceptives, the highest rate in the world. This has been achieved largely through education and improvement of people's lives, she said.

This holistic approach that integrates policy on population and development, a strategy promoting sustainable development of population, resources and environment should serve as a model for integrating population programs into the framework of climate change adaptation, she said
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ----
If we watch long enough things come to light. if we pass the health care bill and turn everyone's body over to the national government . they can then sign a global treaty in which we have no say in (seeing as the epa has replaced 'We the people" with We the EPA" ). and bypass our representitive government .Then the Global government can force every woman in the world to not give birth to more than 1 child, or if they want, no child , or no girl babys or boy babys. These " health" nazis could end up forcing everyone into being vegetarians or eating whatever food or chemical they want them to eat. so where does facism end . God owns every thing including our bodys and souls .this is not about global warming but global tyranny.

LIARS AND THE REAL ECONOMY


BTW, did you see that odd ball of a movie called, "Lars and the Real Girl", damn!, Any way, the story line was that this guy pretends that manikin is his girl friend and everyone in town acts as if she is a real person even though they know the truth. Amazing how art imitates reality, you should see the movie if you have not seen it, just think of the manikin as our own real economy, it will all make sense.

And why not, we are so used to living in a virtual world that the difference between fact and fiction does not matter, our brains are used to accepting fiction as fact, that is our reality.

The news says that we are saving 200 billion dollars in the TARP (also known as FART, Financial Assets Reimagination Tricks) program. Now the Democrats want to use "this money" to "create jobs" and the Republicans want to use "this money" to reduce the deficit, now I am not a Nobel winning economist but this I know, the money never existed in the first place, yes there is no money there, for real!, there isn't any, there never was, it was all imagined numbers, so how you can save it or spend it is beyond me. But then we also buy "sale items" on credit to "save" money.

TOO MANY "ANGIE' "

12/06/2009

TOO MANY "ANGIE' "


I guess I should be talking about the Tiger woods getting a "woody" or a "wedgie", or I could once again be talking about how some "ladies" acting like cheap sluts, but that would be redundant. We do not expect our ladies to be anything but sluts, many here just proving once again the stereo type that the all white girls want to try black dick, but that would be racist, since many girls today are not very particular any way as to who is dicking them, so long as they are getting dicked.



May be that Tiger is the King of golf, but we do not live in the times of the real kings per se, there are problems with mere mortals assuming the kingly position and treat the women as concubines. From personal experience here, in teaching, in counseling and in the military, if you are smart you leave the subordinates alone, just because! And that is not going to keep you o n the straight and narrow, remember the examples of Kobe Bryant, and the Duke University Lacrosse team, you are just one roll in the hay from being accused of rape and sexual assault, why, why anyone, a man of position and authority would want to be so dumb to put their self in the situation, not to say a married man and father of two daughters. What did we ever learn from the Clinton fiasco. I for one, if I am ever divorced, I am heading for the hills, I have also promised my teen daughters I will never embarrass them. For seven thousand years philosophers and the prophets have been trying to teach us limits of character that will differentiate us from animals, and we keep slipping back.






And what quality of women are we talking here, women who are in it for money or fame, for the glory of having been screwed by some one of position, hookers indeed, even if it is prostitution for just the name's sake. Otherwise , why in the hell will someone come out and put up the signs, "Tiger fucked here also". and we the shameless nation would be drooling like idiots.

There, however, are girls in our society, with all its freedoms and comforts, and all its hooking up and checking up and shacking up who are still lonely. looking for love, for someone to be close to, even someone to look up to, like even a daddy figure. Tired of dating nobodies and losers they do throw themselves at the feet of someone deemed to be worth a shit, be it a president or a senator, or a successful man in any capacity, even a Ted Bundy, and not just a golfer a musician or a comedian, hell they are throwing themselves at the feet of high school ball players, so where IS the glory in this shit?

Being raised up with "Cinderella" and "The Sleeping Beauty" and growing up with "Alley McBeal" and "Sex in the City", they are conditioned to be looking for a knight on a white steed to come rescue them from their miserable and lonely lives, "living in a world of make believe" just like Angie Baby!





In the end though, should we not consider the hypocrisy of our society, where every other person is divorcing, and not just the elite, we follow McKenzie Phillips for her talking about her we worship Paris Hilton for her cock sucking prowess, and hold others to a higher moral standard than of our own self.

A JOBS SUMMIT

12/03/2009

A JOBS SUMMIT

So now that we know that the rich people do not create jobs, which is what I have been telling you for years, Mr. Obama has called a summit to see how jobs can be created in the private sector. As if some one will now give somebody a job whether the person giving the job will materially benefit from it or not? Like I have said time and time again no one creates a jobs just so that the poor can eat, if it were true the poor the world over would not be killing their children, selling their daughters or selling their kidneys. Any Questions so far?

And the heck is a summit any way, do these people have God complex? Like the G20 or what ever G-spot is in vogue that day? We are always having these summits and getting screwed by the ones who are in the summits.Why are like the blind lil piglets, always sucking the hind tit? there are obvious and numerous problems and as many solutions but no one seems to have the answers while we as a nation stay bent over and get ass fucked?

In the old days there were GODS, and the people were fucking stupid, and if you was getting reamed it had to be God's will, today we have no such excuses.If you are being dicked it is your own fault.

Read back in this blog, for yars I have been talking about this will come, and what we need to do to pull our national heads out of our national ass holes and smell the shit, but we ve been to fuckin busy jacking off and making ourselves happy. Now the dick is deep up our ass holes and we are whining , saying some body should a been watching out for us. But too late for that baby. Or like they used to say in the ole Soviet Union, good fucking luck , comrade baby!

Two things, we could go to losing no jobs every month and the unemployment will keep rising until we start to create more jobs than the number of new people joining the work force. And that my dear won't happen till we stop exporting money, which we have been doing since the shit called free trade, which is really not free, it steals your freedoms.
And second, even if we in creased exports in dollars to where we had a positive balance of trade( it will never happen in your life time or mine and the country will keep going broke till no one will have anything). we must have more people employed in exports trade than we have in imports over seas, that again will never happen till we live like the people over there, which , as I have been saying for a while now, is coming. No maater how much money is being spent on jobs training and new careers, even the computers, education and health care are about to turn in to lemons no one wants.
So don't be overly impressed and go out a buy a new car or a TV made in Japan or China cause your economy is going to improve, and by all means don't buy shit made over there, they are laughing their asses off.

A LESSON IN HISTORY

Comments "ON POINT" NPR 28 OCT 2008

As I wrote many years ago, and from someone who has a Kurdish grandmother and has lived for a time in the Pakistani NWFP, here is the bottom line: we can not bring a fair and working democracy in Iraq, wishful thinking notwithstanding, and we can not suppress the insurgency in Afghanistan. Being broke as we are, we need to get out while we can. Poverty and illiteracy and corruption are the two main reasons for the problems and way beyond our control.
