THE WORLD IS AN ABYSS IV
It IS my purpose to hold up a mirror to you and to MAKE you look. It is said that one is recognized by the company he keeps, I have therefore questioned our associations, with China, with Saudi Arabia, with Egypt and to a point with Israel among others. I have brought up the points about torture and about corruption and about our lip service to the human right, now what is your part as an individual, that is if you want to stop our journey along this road way to the abyss.
Be you a lefty crying about the human rights or a right wing anti abortion nut, what are you really? The truth is that Wal-Mart has become the biggest retailer in the world, and you are to be blamed. No I am not talking here about the cheap labor in sweat shops, you get cheap stuff from dollar toys to IPods and flat screen TVs thanks to the Chinese workers working for forty- five cents and hour for sixteen hours days, six days a week. Forget about the human rights and political freedoms, about limited access to the internet. We want free trade with the Chinese because our nations defense now depends on the Chinese made spare parts or our hi tech gadgets would be useless if not outright non existent.
Think about this when you head in to the Wal-mart on your next trip. In China, in most cases, a second baby born, alive and healthy, is murdered, suffocated or left alone to die, you are condoning this with your purchase of items made in China, just as they used to say that buying oil from the middle East is supporting the terrorists.
It could happen here, yes, it could and soon, soon as we are told that we can no longer support children born out of wedlock to women who can not support them, and to people who do not have jobs, think it won't? Think again.

THE WORLD IS AN ABYSS III

THE WORLD IS AN ABYSS III
I should say something about the Obama State of the Union, you do know he gave a speech last night to the joit session of congress, and to the American public, I will.
As I said, the good news is that the world will end on 20 December, 2012, the bad news is that it may not.
The closest analogy to what we have here is this, someone breaks into your house and while you are watching he viciously rapes your sister, and you are saying , oh well, at least it is not me. Then he comes over and rapes your backsides, and you are miserable, but he hands you a lollipop, and you are saying well atleast he GAVE me a lollipop, and not that I am gay or something.
So what is the future of America, because that is the future of humanity, like it or not. Obama talked about taking away the tax breaks of corporations that move jobs overseas, sadly any one that wanted to move, already has, we have no auto industry, we have no sewing industry, we don't make air conditioners, fridges, ovens, bicycles, TVs, computers, hell we are even importing meth form Mexico, so what is this crap about moving jobs overseas, what the hell is left here to move? Hell we could not even fly a helicopter or a jet, or navigate a ship during war because our computtersystems in all of these are made over seas.
IN this global world, no one is loyal to the United States, no one is required to put the USA first, not the corporations, not in the least, so when I hear the working people say that they are Republicans, I want to scream out" you poor stupid bastard". But then again the poor stupid bastards are not all or just Republicans, they are also Democrats.
How do you define a "Poor Stupid Bastard", you can look up my article on the war on poverty.
I have two theories, or three may be four, first of all any one that is against abortion, or pulling the plug on granny should be made to pay taxes to support all the bastards (and otherwise) that have daddies that won't pay to support their off spring, and also pay taxes for keeping granny alive. If you are not paying for my upkeep then shut the hell up. Two, if throwing money at the schools makes kids smarter, give the schools all the money they want and they should be expected to produce only geniuses, if not school systems and teachers should only be payed based on their performance ( oh, BTW the kids interest in getting an education correlates with the the interest of the parent in educating the kid) , I did not see this Obamas's speech or the Republican response.
Third, if cutting taxes increases the revenues then we should reduce the taxes to zero and thereby get out of debt, Republicans should be required to come up with a rock solid plan based on this assumption, or be required never ever to mention the stupid idea again. May be Rush can prove this.
Rush also kept mentioning the Ayn Rand book "Atlas Shrugged" last summer, I wonder if he ever read the book himself, "" WIKI (please also read " Property rights and Individualism")

The characters in Atlas Shrugged are portrayed based on their productive effort, respect for rights, intellectual honesty, and moral integrity independent of their wealth or social class. Among the heroes, John Galt and Hank Rearden are from working class backgrounds, while Dagny Taggart and Francisco d'Anconia are from wealthy families. Among the villains, Fred Kinnan is from a working class background, while James Taggart and Lillian Rearden are from wealthy families."" Wealth in modern day America ( last thirty years or so) has been made by following more and more bizzare scams, money market and stock market manipulations, cronyism and out right lies and fraud and gaming the system.

THE WORLD IS AN ABYSS II
So what is the purpose, what is my message? I do not have plan to save the world, And it has been predicted that the world will end one day anyway so why not now, anyway?
The prophecies in the holy books are not that unusual, it is not hard to see that if a few people, a government or a political philosophy takes over control of the resources, they could choose who shall eat or not and who shall live or not. We have already seen this in our own lifetimes with the Communist regimes and the Nazis, thus the concept of an anti_Christ.
As some in the right wing media have compared Obama to the anti- Christ, complained about his socialism and an up coming take over of control by the government (martial law and such), I had tried to brin gthe attention of the c0untry to such an eventuality back in the April of 2008, comparing the the situation to the one that existed back in the thirties. The economic conditions that existed back then have not changed, we are only buying time before the real disaster hits.
To compound the problem, once again, we have the laws on the book already that will make such a situation possible, that is the declaration of emergency conditions and the usurping the rights of the people to protest, of undeclared detentions, suspension of the Hebeas Corpus, these laws were passed in clear view of the nation and with the support of the right wingers and the tea baggars, these are called the PATRIOT ACT.
"
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE RIGHT 05/17/2004
I consider myself pretty conservative on the social issues. My two teenage daughters are told, and made to dress a bit modestly, i.e. no belly buttons or panties showing, and no two piece bathing suits, even though both take swimming and karate, and the older is also in JROTC.
But seems to me that by default, the right has taken a cult mentality where the leader can do no wrong. What has George Bush done right lately? Be Honest! He has taken us into a war we can not win. He lied to us or was stupid enough to not to know when he was being lied to. He fell for the WMD charade, the nuclear purchase charade, he did not know what our military was doing in our prison camps, and can not see what his PATRIOTS ACT does to the civil rights and the liberties.
Is this nation now so far gone that we are supposed to turn a blind eye when the king is naked. Where is the out rage? This time it is not a bunch of dope smoking hippies that are against the war, but it is a bunch of do gooders wanting death and destruction on the people of the world in the name of the Lord and peace. And don't tell me that the support of the war from the right is only based upon facts, and the known dangers.
Why are we not holding Mr Bush responsible for the budget screw ups and the deficits, for the health care mess, for the jobs being created that pay no benefits, and more than anything else for a screwed up war we are in.
Or is it that right only consists of the people who sent money to Jim Baker and Jimmy Swaggert and Pat Robertson and Falwell and their ilk. We have no brains, we can not ask our president to tell the drug companies to quit pushing Viagra day and night. That he should make the oil companies pay windfall profits taxes, ( for while the working people have to pay thru the nose at the pump, his and Cheney's buddies are getting filthy rich)

THE WORLD IS AN ABYSS
I do not claim to be smarter than anyone, I do, however have a different way of looking at things and try to connect things that are not related to get a different view of reality. I see the similarities between cultures adn notice their differences, but I also see how and where we will end up in this world if the drastic changes are not made and made real quick.
I do take credit for warning others of the up coming market crash , the housing bubbles, the banking crisis So now as the world is hoping for a recovery, I am wondering how far do have to go before things turn around, and I know it won't be anytime soon, no matter the predictions of the government and politicians.
At the very least I know we are not going back to the world of the last few years. with unlimited amounts of money coming from no where, wiht leverage of forty to one and more and the real estate going up twenty percent a year or more. That not only means that the rich won't be getting richer as fast, it also means that the world will have billions of new poor, billions more at the edge of starvation and slavery.
As I have said before, we are paying out billions of money that we don't have, spending billions to train people for the jobs that will never exist, so why are we wasting money? Because it is not real money? Or because we don't want riots and people in the street asking for blood of the politicians.

UAE sheikh acquitted in taped beating
January 10, 2010 -- Updated 2134 GMT (0534 HKT)
Part of the evidence against Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al-Nahyan was a three-hour video of the alleged incident.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- Sheikh acquitted Sunday of charges linked to videotaped torture of Afghan grain dealer
- Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al-Nahyan, is a member of the emirates' ruling family,
- He was charged with rape, endangering life and causing bodily harm
- In evidence was 3-hour tape shot in 2004 of the alleged incident
RELATED TOPICS
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (CNN) -- A United Arab Emirates sheikh was acquitted Sunday of charges connected to the videotaped beating and torture of an Afghan grain dealer.
Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al-Nahyan, a member of the emirates' ruling family, was charged with rape, endangering life and causing bodily harm in connection with the nearly three-hour long tape shot in 2004 in the desert outside Abu Dhabi, one of the United Arab Emirates in the Persian Gulf region.
However, the court acquitted Issa on Sunday, ruling he had diminished responsibility for his actions because of the effects of medication his defense attorney claimed he was given. Issa had a "lack of criminal responsibility," the court found, defense attorney Habib al-Mulla told CNN.
"The judiciary system acquitted Issa based on the evidence presented by the defense that the sheikh was under the influence of drugs given to him," al-Mulla said. "That deprived him from his poise and caused him to carry out acts that were out of consciousness and that were photographed with the intention for later extortion."
Video: UAE trial verdict The tape surfaced last year as a piece of evidence in a federal civil suit filed in Houston, Texas, against the sheikh by his former business partner, Bassam Nabulsi. It caused outrage among human rights groups and in the United States, where senior U.S. officials familiar with the case said the tape delayed the ratification of a civil nuclear deal between the UAE and the United States.
On the tape, Issa is seen along with a private security officer stuffing sand in the man's mouth. As the grain dealer pleads and whimpers, he is beaten with a nailed board, burned in the genitals with a cigarette lighter, shocked with a cattle prod and led to believe he would be shot. Salt is poured into his wounds.
In the end, the victim can muster up only weak moans as an SUV is repeatedly driven over him.
"No one can prove that this videotape has not been tampered with," al-Mulla said Sunday. The only person who can confirm the incidents happened as seen on the tape is the victim, and he has not confirmed that, he added. "We deny the incident as it was shown on that videotape."
The defense did not just center on the medication, he said, but claimed that the videotape and other incidents from that night were all part of a conspiracy aimed at blackmailing the sheikh.
During the trial, the defense presented medical reports from experts in the United States and the United Arab Emirates showing that the various types of medicines given to Issa, when combined, "would lead any person to act in a very aggressive manner, losing his control and his behavior."
Asked about a Human Rights Watch statement that one trial was not enough to stop torture and restore the United Arab Emirates' image, al-Mulla told CNN he believed the UAE was "courageous" to hold the trial, calling it "a very positive signal of what the UAE is trying to achieve."
The incident allegedly was triggered by Issa's belief he was cheated in a business deal. UAE officials have said the grain dealer survived and has settled the matter privately with the sheikh, with the two agreeing not to bring formal charges against the other.
Al-Mulla said he is "pleased with the verdict as it was proven that Sheikh Issa was a victim, and he was not what the media tried to portray him [as]."
The Afghan man was in the courtroom, and the court issued him a "temporary" compensation of 10,000 dirhams ($2,722), al-Mulla said.
Nabulsi, a Lebanese-born U.S. citizen now living in Houston, said he met Issa when the sheikh came to Houston for medical treatment in 1994. They became friends and business partners and the sheikh recruited Nabulsi to move to Abu Dhabi to work for him.
In the lawsuit, Nabulsi claimers breaches of contract and fiduciary duty. A federal court dismissed the suit in June, ruling it did not have jurisdiction, according to online federal court records. Nabulsi has appealed to the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
Nabulsi told CNN in April the sheikh turned on him after he expressed concern over the Afghan's treatment. Later, he was arrested on drug charges, and security officers working for the sheikh ransacked his home and demanded the torture video. But the tape -- shot by Nabulsi's brother at the order of the sheikh, he said -- had already been smuggled out of the country.
Nabulsi said he was arrested, jailed and ultimately convicted on drug charges -- and was tortured and humiliated by UAE police, who demanded he return the tape.
Al-Mulla said Sunday Nabulsi was sentenced to five years in jail in absentia, agreeing that he was responsible for the drugging of the sheikh. Prosecutors will attempt to implement the sentence through Interpol, he said.
CNN's Caroline Faraj, Stan Grant and Saad Abedine contributed to this report.

PLAYING WITH FIRE

PLAYING WITH FIRE
Once again, I have been missing a lot. Thinking more, but writing less, what's the use, people are tired of the bad news. And truth is a bitter pill to swallow. Same as to admit ones wrongs. And how do you know really if you are in hell, when you have been playing with fire and just got burnt.
Obama, the prince of the Nobel peace, is about to start the third fourth and the fifth war of his presidency. I don't agree with the right wing websites claiming that the Christmas incidence was all a conspiracy to take away our remaining freedoms and liberties, but then we do need more wars to keep this economy afloat, and that incident alone has caused billions in economic impact what with increased security and new equipment sales.
O.K. call me cynical, and I also don't plan to be traveling by air anytime soon. But stuff like this does impact military sales, and so called civilian employment by security firms. I always wonder why we don't just put the TSA and the other security people in uniforms as they do all over the world. And how the hell we get away with having contract security personnel to provide security for the CIA, and the State Department, isn't it what the militaries are for? why the charades?
And there, will Yemen be cheaper? easier? Probably not, and this is why. Plainly put , our spoken policies end up conflicting our deeds and the "other people" not as stupid as we think they are or should be. And it always comes back to bite us in the ass. We have talked about it before. Did we not start and support the Talibans to fight the Soviets, and not only that, for sixty yeas or more we have supported the Saudi regime that has brought the fundamentalism to the Islamic world and has been the biggest supporter of the radical Islamists every where and is one of the most undemocratic regimes anywhere in the world, then how do we go around pretending to be supporting democracy, don't you think the others know the king is naked. How long can we keep spending the money(that we do not have), and the blood of the American youth to support our misguided policies, we need to chose one or the other side, not both.
And then there is the economy, lets see with all the dog and pony shows and the claims of communism, how many salaries is the pay czar controlling
