CRIME, AS A GOVERNMENT SPONSORED TERRORISM

06/26/2009


CRIME, AS A GOVERNMENT SPONSORED TERRORISM

(Note: I know it takes me a while to get to the point of the title but you will see why)

You would tell me that the government is against crime, that everyday new laws are passed to protect the citizens of the United States to make us safer. Well don't we have laws against drunk driving, for wearing seat belts, against using cell phones while driving, heck we even have laws against using, selling and possessing sex toys,
http://www.gopetition.com/gopetition-in-the-media/194/alabama-ban-on-selling-sex-toys-goes-into-effect.html

It is all to protect you and keep you safer of course! mostly from your own self.
We of course have laws against drugs, your thirteen year old daughter can b e legally strip searched at school if she is suspected of carrying a midol, so long as they can say there was probable cause, of course probable cause is left to the s\discreation of the police/ school authority.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090625/ap_on_go_su_co/us_supreme_court_strip_search

Reading the decision, the court does not say that the search itself was illegal, but that the school did not have probable cause in the particular case.

"What was missing from the suspected facts that pointed to Savana was any indication of danger to the students from the power of the drugs or their quantity, and any reason to suppose that Savana was carrying pills in her underwear," Justice David Souter wrote in Thursday's majority opinion.

And again please read this carefully ,""

In a dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas said the search had been legal and the court previously had given school officials "considerable leeway" under the Fourth Amendment in school settings.

In this case, officials had searched the girl's backpack and found nothing, Thomas said. "It was eminently reasonable to conclude the backpack was empty because Redding was secreting the pills in a place she thought no one would look," he said.

Thomas warned that the majority's decision could backfire. "Redding would not have been the first person to conceal pills in her undergarments," he said. "Nor will she be the last after today's decision, which announces the safest place to secrete contraband in school."

The court also ruled the middle school officials could not be held liable in a lawsuit for the search. """

If you think that an authority will not find a probable cause easy enough to find you don't know the meaning of the abuse of power.

Case in point, say you are at a park sitting reading a book and police stops by and asks you to identify your self, the Supreme court of the US says that you must,,

http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0622/p01s01-usju.html

These may be the extreme examples of the police powers in this country, but this is only the start, do you know how many different types of police agencies there are in this country. I am not talking about the store security at Wal-mart, (they have the power to make citizens arrests any way and most stores do hire the local ""off -duty" police ( talk about an inside track). I thought about counting the layers of police authorities in this country.

Local police and detectives
Sheriffs
State police
State troopers
State Bureau of Investigations
Tax collectors,
code enforcers
Game Wardens
National Guard
FBI
Federal Marshall's
BATF
ICE
Coast Guard
Military services with their own police, security, investigation services
Homeland security
NSA

this list probably represents only just the half of the police power available in this country, wonder what police state looks like.

Mind you I have discussed the role of poverty, broken families, lack of character boundaries, lack of morality, a society where anything goes, and more elsewhere in my blogs for years,

http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2007/06/war-on-poverty.html



today here I wish to speak to the role of the police powers in creation of crimes that terrorize the populace.


http://www.november.org/stayinfo/breaking09/Prison_Rape_Guidelines.html

a paragraph from the above article states

"But the recommendations could pose a challenge for wardens who already battle crowding. Corrections officers, who according to inmate surveys commit a significant percentage of inmate assaults, also may protest more oversight."

It is hard to overestimate the power of fear, it is even harder to overestimate fear of the crime on the public's mind. When gangs roam free in the streets, when drug trade is conducted in the streets with thugs intimidating the populace with their brashness and weaponry, when witnesses are intimidated without fear of apprehension or consequence then what is the public but terrorized. But where are the police and what protection do they offer.

What do we get for our tax dollars, the protection money that we pay the governments at all levels, city, county , state and federal. Our government has eyes in the sky, everywhere there are cameras, satellites, listening devices, sniffing dogs, and much more. But the drugs come through our borders and are transported all over the country by "hapless" couriers. Deals are made on street corners, in motel rooms and high dollar penthouses, by cell phones and the inter net. Monies are transferred by the millions and billions.

Then there is the "illegal' weapons, traded over the world, bombs and bazookas, missiles and cannons, even air planes.

Trading of flesh is even scarier, kidnappings for not only for money but for sale of organs and sex, all of it not only happening in third world countries but right here, not in our back yards but in our collective face.

So one must ask what is the government doing, why is M 13 gang or any gang so powerful that we can not take care of them, how do we not know who the professional criminals are why they are not rotting in prison. Why are our streets dangerous and criminals so powerful. Or is the government nothing more than a protection racket where the rich can feel safe and the poor and the working classes are scared. .

Think of this, when was the last time (can't count Mt, Carmel fiasco, but may be the Wounded Knee) you heard of the police (of any kind) being in a shoot out with the gangs or the drug smugglers or even a "radical group", if the police are ever attacked, it is commonly a lone schmuck that wants to get killed. There are no SLA or Black Panthers, yet every local police department worth its salt has SWAT teams and automatic weapons and more and more are demanding the same if not more. Oh it is only for "your" protection, is it not? If crime pays, it pays handsomely for the police.
Again, we have exorbitant court cost fees tacked on to the ordinary traffic violations, and the police are encouraged to confiscate your personal property under any false pretense the may come up with, pray tell me what is terrorism, pray tell me if you really feel safer.

Wikipedia defines terror as such
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror

Terror is an overwhelming sense of imminent danger. It is shock, horror and/or fear so intense that it elicits an acute stress reaction and a combat, faint or escape response in place of rational thinking. In relationship to terrorism, the provocateur aims to elicit terror for the purpose of using the three responses of combat, faint or escape to his advantage.

So then it follows that is not just the ordinary street crime we should be talking about,
take look at the economy of this country, the banking system, the health care, the global warming, the war on drugs, the war on terror, all designed to terrorize you in to submission. All designed to scare you in to giving up your rights, and to taking away your rights

WHATEVER "YOU" CAN AFFORD!

WHATEVER "YOU" CAN AFFORD!

There is a big debate going on in Washington these days, what to do about the sky rocketing health care costs.

Let me put this to you straight!,in a free market you can only buy what you can pay for, no more no less. So this mantra of the conservatives and Republicans that the cure for what ails the health care system is in the free market is a pure lie.

Do we disregard these bare fact that people are losing employment, that the employers are cutting benefits and salaries, more so the health care benefits. That the jobs are being moved overseas to avoid paying high salaries and benefits. Thus wishful thinking or not, more and more people in country will become uninsured as the time goes on. This is not a prophecy this is just a simple acknowledgment of facts.
Is it so hard for the mouth pieces of the right and the commiseration radio to tell you to go fuck yourself?

Back in May of 2007 I wrote about the health care mess and sent copies to my local paper as well as to then president Bush and the Senator Shelby, I have also sent the copies of same to president Obama, and to congressman Bright.

http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2007/05/eyes-wide-shut-ii.html

here are some facts

We can not afford to pay for every seventy plus with a chronic or terminal illness to live another six or eight months at the cost of millions, we need to pay only for them to die comfortable

We can not afford to pay for people who keep making babies whether they have the resources for their support, not food stamps, not free rentals, (section 8) not for their medical expenses, do away with medicare, it is bastardizing the nation. If the bleeding hearts want to pay for them let them pass the plate amongst themselves.

Social workers, psychologists, and their ilk make money of the misery of others, they don't work for free or for a stipend, no one should be paid for wanting to help others.

WHAT "TWO" IS?

06/23/2009

WHAT "TWO" IS?

The old adage says, that if you can add two and two and come up with a reasonably close answer, you are smart. So the question then must be what is "two"? Why so many have a problem adding up "two" and a "two" ? And why is the answer so darn difficult?

We want Obama to advise the Iranians about the elections but we forget, it was a mere eight years ago when we also had a disputed election in which an unpopular man apparently was declared the winner by our supreme leaders. The unpopular man started unnecessary wars and thumbed his nose at the world, so there.




















We forget that in our free country we cage the protesters, keep them away from cameras and the news media, oh come on, you are not ignorant now are you?

Apparently we don't see this as a double standard when our soldiers and police and undercover agents beat up, water hose, shove push and bomb with tear gas or shoot rubber bullets at the protesters who rally against globalization, GATT, and IMF, or G-8, 9, 10, 11, 20 meetings. And as I have mentioned our friendly governments who oppress their own people, like the Saudi's Egyptians, Sudanese and their ilk. We rail against North Koreans when the power is passed from father to son, but is not Hosni, our buddy our pal, doing the same?

What will happen when the seemingly endless stream of step brothers meets their end in Saudi Arabia and we have to prop up a younger thief that promises to be controlled by us most closely.

It is not that I do not wish freedom and democracy for my Iranian friends and brothers and sister, and their success in their struggles, It is the hypocrisy of the media and the US and European policies that I must question, "you have done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

Joseph N. Welch, the Joseph McCarthy Hearings 1954

And then look at what just happened, Chris Brown was given probation by a judge for beating the tar out of his girl friend, and that is way less than what Micheal Vick got for beating up his dogs. So much for the respect of human life and dignity in the good ole US of A, may be we need to get our heads out, before we advise others as to what "two" is!

My hat is off to Neda Sultan for her sacrifice, my condolences to her family, where ever they are. I only wish that the people of the world would not just call out the Iranian regime but also the Saudi' s and the Egyptians and the Israelis, and Palestinians.

AS IRAN BURNS

06/21/2009

AS IRAN BURNS

CNN is having a ball, they have a video of a possible arrest or more going down in Iran and they keep repeating it over and over. Why not, we have a free media don't we?

I felt like screaming at the screen, we were setting the poor Iranian bastards up for this, knowing full well there is not shit we can or will do to defend any nation, any people, any where.

Meanwhile there are protests, by some stupid supporters of this so called democracy in action? Protesting in far away places, like Europe and in Washington DC, but where are the protests in Riyadh, in Cairo, in Kuwait city? Are you just as impressed as I am?

It is said that McCain will show up on Sunday morning shows to protest the in action of Obama? what sleaze we buy in to? Damn it we don't even give a damn about the genocide in Darfur, we on;y like to talk shit.

What do we have over Iran? Do we not trade with China? Do the Chinese give shit about the Darfur? Do we not trade with the Saudis. How well they regard the human rights of their denizens? It was funny when Obama went to deliver his message to the Muslims, he first went to Saudi Arabia, then he went to Egypt where they lock up the people who want to make Egypt like Saudi Arabia, a fundamentalist Islamic country, and the Irony was lost on the media. None dare say a word about it.

So goodnight the budding Iranian democracy movement, hope only a few among you are killed or tortured, any way it will all be done in the name of Allah. All the good Muslims around the world will say, may peace of God be upon you, and then sit on their asses.

OBAMA, US, IRAN AND DEMOCRACY

06/19/2009

OBAMA, US, IRAN AND DEMOCRACY

So the free press and the news media are excited about the Iranian elections and their outcome where the president Ahmedinjad has supposedly lost.

We , in the US are pretending to support the so called "democracy" and the protesters, and we "hope" that there will be no violent confrontation, It is all so amusing, do we really wish for true democracy in Iran, do we really not want the regime to come down with a heavy hand brutally crack down on the protesters.

If the Iranian Mullahs had any sense of reality they would actually withdraw Ahmedinjad' s support and handover the power to the demonstrators. And then what will happen and what will Obama and the United states do?

If Iranian demonstrators are allowed to succeed the regimes in Saudi Arabia and Egypt will fall tomorrow. Kuwait and Dubai and Abu Dhabi will kick out the US forces, Iraqi Sheia will prosecute for peace with Suni's, none of it a desirable out come for the United States and her allies who are worse criminals than the Iranians

AS ROME BURNED

06/18/2009


AS ROME BURNED

As I wanted to use the phrase "AS ROME BURNED" as my title, I googled it to see if it had been used in regards to our current situation before. I have come across the title and you can read it also at, http://monthlyreview.org/mrzine/wolff130208.html. published in Feburary of 2008 it does however confirm my beliefs of August 2007 here at http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2007/08/breaking-thebanks.html So I am not the only one being scared by or has been scared by our situation, but what I am about to write here and suggest to you is not at like what is in the above article, so it will be worth your time to continue reading.

In my earlier post, I talked about Honor vs Honesty, http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2009/06/honor-or-honesty.html
but first, let me remind you I only write about how I see the things, and i don't tell you what to do, I show you the reality, as i know and see it, what you do , if you learn anything, is totally up to you .

There is a police strategy, you keep the criminal talking and sooner or later a bit of truth will come out. So it was when the American ship was hijacked by the Somali pirates media were talking about the business model. I suppose then that in a free market economy, the industrialists are no more than mere criminals in business suit, but with the same moral standing as the hijackers.

We all know that the communism failed, we celebrate that, do we yet know that the capitalism has also failed. We have been living a lie for the past thirty years. Tax reductions do not increase government revenues, no matter how you slice it. I have also proposed and explained that all money spent is actually and in fact government money, that the rich do not create jobs so you can buy food and iPods for your kids, the government controls the purse strings and "creates" new money as the economy expands.

For the last three decades the government has gone crazy and become irresponsible. As the manufacturing was shipped overseas and imports increased, the government kept increasing the money supply and kept the interest rates low to cover up the problem of lack of revenue, we should know that if the interest rates went up by just two points the deficit (due to increase in the interest payment) will become untenable. The opposite, if the interest rates are kept low the dollar will fall and inflation will go up.

In the midst of all this, we are spending money to keep up the false facade of a high standard of living, because if the standard of living of the Americans was to fall drastically and suddenly, there could be great problems.

At the same time, the commiseration media, also called the talk radio, keeps fanning the flames of stupidity, blaming Obama for all that has gone wrong with the country and there must be idiots by the millions who are buying the horse manure, dished by the likes of Hannity, Limbaugh and Boortz.

ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK

ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK








- One Night in Bangkok Lyrics

Send “One Night in Bangkok” Ringtone to Your Cell

[THE AMERICAN]
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner

Time flies -- doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change -- don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue

It's Iceland -- or the Philippines -- or Hastings -- or --
or this place!

[COMPANY]
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

[THE AMERICAN]
One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother

[COMPANY]
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city

[THE AMERICAN]
Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town --

[COMPANY]
Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite

[THE AMERICAN]
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

[COMPANY]
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me

[THE AMERICAN]
Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha

And thank God I'm only watching the game -- controlling it --

I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you

So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage
parlours --

[COMPANY]
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me

SO TELL ME THAT AGAIN! (GAME OVER)

06/15/2009

SO TELL ME THAT AGAIN! (GAME OVER)

So that I know that I get this right, you want people in the third world to support "your" American life style right. Of course that is what globalization means right? You want Chinese and the Indians and the Arabs to pay for our health care, and that is just for starters.
Isn't this true that the International Brotherhood of Morons (IBM) wants to create a smarter planet so they sold their manufacturing to a Chinese Government owned company. And why not, surely it will not be ALL Americans living in that smarter planet. Isn't it also true that the Unemployed Auto Workers (UAW) were sold out to the point that they accepted lower wages, reduced benefits and jobs cuts to the bare bones.


Do we really expect those Chinese who work fourteen hour days for four and half dollars per day to not only support our welfare system, but while they being forced to abort a second fetus, to loan us monies to take care of the likes of Nadya Suleman and the Tennessee guy with the twenty one kids.

And expect the people of the Indian and the African slums to pay us to keep our air conditioners going and have free health care?

Or the Arabs to give us oil for cheap while they buy billion dollar aircraft and pay for our high dollar prostitutes.

Or may be the Japanese and the Koreans who send their kids to ten hour school days followed by four hour home work to support our video game addicts and slackers?

I bet you the things are about to change. Change drastically, and for ever, only not for the better as we would like them to. GAME OVER!

HONOR OR HONESTY

06/14/2009

HONOR OR HONESTY

There was a time , not so long ago, when people, especially people of status were supposed to be honorable, today most people don't even know what honor means.
"Caesar was an honorable man", at least he had the sense to banish his sister when she was having pre-marital sex, today we take our daughters to get laid by boys and come home to watch mommy getting fucked,

or may be close OK.

But really this is not the point, we would really think that an honorable person will also be an HONEST person, HONEST AS IN TRUTHFUL, AS IN COURAGEOUS , AND RIGHTEOUS PERSON. Sadly though to day to be "honorable" does not mean that you must possess any of the above mentioned other qualities, not even one.

And that brings me to the politicians, and lawyers and law makers and law enforcers, world leaders, and church leaders.

USA, A REALITY SHOW?

06/10/2009


USA, A REALITY SHOW?

I keep hoping still, I don't pray for prayers don't work, I hope, I hope that the country and the humanity will wake up soon to the disaster that is about to befall most of us.

I have used examples before, told stories, the Bible speaks of the parables within it, and the Quran says, "tilk al-amsalu nadribuha lil nass fa lalahum yakeeloon", these examples we give so the people may become informed.

And I tell you stories too. Over time, I have used the stories of the "Pied Piper", "Of Mice and Men", "The Sherek", "It Can't Happen Here", "Alice in Wonderland" and others, I have used songs, and poems, to get peoples attention, and yours, I have succeeded in alienating many, all with the purpose and the goal to show you the reality as it is. Not many are interested, as the numbers below remind me every day, no one cares to know the truth.

A"Reality Show" by definition is a falsehood, we know that any person or a group will behave in an unnatural way when it knows it is being observed. But we "accept" it as "real" or a true representation of reality. I have no problem with reality shows per se, be it WWE, Survior or "the whores with real money (also promoted as "the Real Housewives of ----------" or "The Hills", The Simpson Girls, The Hulk Hogan Family, the Osbornes to name just a few except that consumers of such fare on TV have an altered sense of reality.

Then we have the millions who spend hours and days on the "Facebook",( I have a page), the twitter, or whatever the rage of the day is, if not abusing themselves otherwise,on the cell phone or the internet, that is.

We all have an altered sense of reality, we have submitted our selves to brain washing, the following commercial is actually true, the irony is that we think of it is as a joke




Years ago I had mentioned that the US is being destroyed internally, and whether you are liberal or conservative, the government is Democrats or Republicans, then end results of the policies and opinions is the same, and always damaging to the country.

So you say you are different, let me show you how you are not, first think of this, Republicans are for balanced budgets and the Democrats are for spending and taxes, right? Now look closer, it was under Mr. Reagan and with his tax cuts that the budget deficits started to bloom, budget was balanced under Clinton who got "lucky" with the boom created by the inception of the internet, Bush W. got us back on the track of becoming broke, any one trying to explain this away is only more full of shit than you are.

Many conservatives speak bad of our foreign involvement, evils of free trade and are anti globalists, but so are many liberal against the free trade and enslaving of cheap and child labor in distant countries. Here is an eye opener for the conservatives then





Abstract:

The role of international organizations in the governance of national economies is attracting increasing attention by economic sociologists. This paper examines the histories of two international organizations widely seen as influential in economic governance: the GATT (later WTO) and the IMF. We show that these organizations have become much more important sources of governance than they were several decades ago. Although both institutions originated in the 1940s, both subsequently experienced significant jurisdictional expansions, allowing them to set a larger number of rules over a much wider set of national economic policies. We trace the transformation of these organizations to a common “critical juncture” in the 1980s, when the Reagan administration embarked on a project of international institutional renewal and reform deliberately aimed at spreading the “magic of the marketplace” around the world and renewing America’s economic leadership. Although leading in the same general direction, this project of reform played out differently in the two institutions, reflecting distinct institutional logics, and varying responsiveness to domestic and international politics.

Today we are left to gimmicks and finger pointing, as the US economy descends into an abyss, social- security and health care are broke education is marginal at best, due to out sourcing of jobs which causes lower wages and lack of benefits, and we have a "work force" that is basically lazy, ill educated and unprepared, and a consumption based economy in which today people have already blown their wad, we talk about the wind mills, and computerized health care records as the solutions, and what is worst the people buy this crap.

And why not, as the technology has advanced, we are the least prepared "advanced" nation for it, mostly mentally. While education was being demeaned and ridiculed in the pop culture, ( W e Don't need No Education), we handed over the education to some of the worst shmucks , from educators to the administrators.

OBAMA'S MESSAGE TO MUSLIMS

06/02/2009

OBAMA'S MESSAGE TO MUSLIMS


It is fitting that the president of the United States should visit Arab or Islamic countries, and he did go to Turkey. But what message does the president of the United States carry to the Muslims.

It is said that every gesture and every word carries some importance and meaning in these situations. As it was with the visit of the pope, what words were used or left out, where he went and did not, all was parsed as to what this or that meant. So what does the travel of the president of the United States to Egypt and Saudi Arabia, to speak to the Muslim populace say about what the United States thinks of the Muslims in general.

The visit to the two Islamic countries that are not the beacons of democracy but the icons of corruption and cruelty, lack of freedoms of speech and any semblance of human rights and dignity IS a clear message to the Muslims , AMERICA DOES NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.

If the Saudi' can be "rewarded" in less than a week of their hanging of a beheaded body, (yes he was a double murderer as it is), and buddying up to Bashir, the genocidal thug of Darfur, Sudan, then what in the hell the US stand for, and what has changed in our policies, why do we cry crocodile tears for freedom amd democracy?

Obama' visit to Saudi Arabia and Egypt is not a hand reaching out to the Muslims, it is a slap in the face of all who want equality, freedom and justice, any where.

HERE COME THE MEN IN BLACK

05/21/2009


HERE COME THE MEN IN BLACK


Click on the link in the title and it will bring you to the whole story:

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Four men accused by prosecutors of being "eager to bring death to Jews" were ordered held without bail Thursday, accused of trying to bomb two New York synagogues and planning to fire surface-to-air missiles at U.S. military planes.

And you can read on. It is scary that we have Muslims who want to commit terrorist act in this country, Muslims who hate Jews, Muslims who want to kill Americans.
But it is also scary that the FBI is setting up some hapless Americans, people who are poor and alienated with society. Be it the blacks in prison or the poor Haitians in Liberty City (Miami), it is not difficult to find Americans who are either small time criminals or down trodden with grievances against the government and/or the society at large, more specifically finding blacks of all stripe that hate Jews.

And what is the big deal here, being made of jail house conversions to Islam? Do we not know that most criminals that convert in jail usually convert to Christianity not Islam, even though many blacks do turn to Islam also, jails are full of murderers and child molesters that are now Christians. There are as well white supremacists, Nazis,and other bigots of all stripes, Gangsters (black white and Spanish and the mafia), surely as well willing to bring down the United States.

Now read this,

""FBI director Mueller says released Gitmo detainees could support terror


By DEVLIN BARRETT | Associated Press | May 20, 09 6:21 PM CDT in Politics

FBI Director Robert Mueller told Congress on Wednesday that bringing Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States could pose a number of risks, even if they were kept in maximum-security prisons. Responding to FBI concerns, Attorney General Eric Holder said the Obama administration would not put Americans at risk.""

What do we as a nation should expect from the FBI, on one hand they say they can not secure some 240 odd "terrorists" and then they go around finding some idiots to "talk them" into creating plots, what terrorist worth their salt would go out mouthing off about their plots and buy their goods from people they can not vett.

Don't we have enough problems already, last time it took three juries to find one that will buy off on the FBI's Liberty City "conspiracy theory". Don't we already have potential terrorist groups that would do harm to the American government and public? These thugs and bums are not dangerous enough if left alone, what we need to worry about are the ones that are in hiding and are much more capable even on their own and they don't need to buy their arms on the market they can make their own, and do!

What is the record of the FBI? I have questioned it before? We had no clue about the nine eleven, could not find Ted Kaczynski, the una bomber, or Eric Rudolph, can not stop the M13,or the kidnappings in Arizona, or the human trafficking (bringing child prostitutes from Eastren Europe, but we do have the time and the resources to wrap some thugs into a conspiracy, may be we need to know what they paid for a stinger? How many hundreds of thousands? and where the money came from , now that would be a case worth pursuing and a real get.

TERRY SCHIAVO SMILES

The Schindler family videotaped Schiavo for extended periods of time, discarding nearly all of the footage, and prepared a short but disingenuous "highlight" video featuring only the occasional moments when her facial expression looked vaguely like a smile, or when family members were posing where Schiavo seemed to be staring, giving the illusion of "eye contact."

Now you are wondering why in the heck I am bringing up the story of Terry Schiavo, but then read the description above once again. Is not just the story of our economy?

Is not the economy on life support, with a feeding tube called the "recovery plan", our comatose economy will surely die without one. Then every week some one sees the smile in the economy' face. OH the retail sales are up, http://tombstone001.blogspot.com/2009/03/less-than-meets-eye.html, oh really?

The stocks are up? on what basis? When we are still losing half a million jobs every month. Did not some people think that she could see also. Fore closures were down because there was a moratorium, now lifted. and houses are being sold to investors for dimes on a dollar, but you know these investors can not hold the properties indefinitely, then who will they sell the properties to. Wages can not go up because of large numbers of the unemployed, the tax revenues will not increase without a rise in wages and increase in employment. Thus social security, medicare and the general fund will all continue to suffer ever larger deficits. And one day the feeding tube will need to be removed.

WHAT HAPPENED IN PAKISTAN, AFGHANISTAN

WHAT HAPPENED IN PAKISTAN, AFGHANISTAN

With the new offensive NWFP, Pakistan, and the change of command in Afghanistan, one must wonder what DID Obama tell his recent guests. With the appointment of a General from the US Special forces it appears that Obama told Karazai and Zardari to get serious about clamping down on insurgencies. Obama seems to be getting serious and may have told his "guests" that they can expect an increase in extra "judicial operations" like probably the war lords and the drug lords, (mostly the same) in Afghanistan, and if the Pakistani Army did not get serious about the Taliban problem, they will bemade to look like helpless jack asses that they are while the US forces were conducting the operations within the Pakistan borders themselves. IN both cases , surely he told the "leaders" they could not play both sides of the fencein the wart while lining their own pockets.

By the way the loyalities of both these leaders are in question and can be bought, they will probably sell you their mothers for the right money.

UNTITLED

For days I have wanted to write. One would say now that I am retired I must have more time do anything I want, but no, it seems that all the things I left undone and ignored and it will take a long while for me to do anything but to play catchup.

Yet, it is not like I have stopped thinking, stopped wondering, how the life has changed in the past few months, not mine, mind you, at least not by very much, if any at all.

Yet, for years I have told my children (a captive audience), and any one else that would listen that the world is about to change and not for the better. I have told, as it is written in this blog, of this economic crisis, and the social decline that has brought us here. I do not preach about a "GOD", even if there were one. I do preach, or talk about the humanity and the causes of our downfall. I have outlined the problems, of health care, of pollution and over population, of finance systems and lack of social responsibility, of lack of boundaries and its role in crime, child welfare and diseases and how it is all tied together.

No one knew when the exact date was that the markets will fall, but as I told everyone, including my children, that one day you wake up and it is not the world you went to bed in. Today the world is not the same that you knew even five ten or one year ago, the paradigm has shifted, though many are slow to notice, yet others believe that soon the things will go back to like they used to be in short order.

If you to have some doubts, or may be a notion that soon the things will be same as before, "" NOT HAPPENING"".

If you have read this blog before of may be you need to go through it sometime, you know there is nothing new in the headlines today that I have not already been discussing here or talking to people or writing to the papers about for many years.

It is also my philosophy that the day of judgment happens to people everyday, that it is not necessarily a collective event, it can happen individually depending on the circumstances.

As we go through these new and uncertain times, I wait for the humanity to wake up and to realize what has happened and so far though most of the people do not even know there is a real problem. Soon though, real soon, I think everyone will know how the world has changed, for ever. Then and only then there will be a real solution, a solution that itself will be a bitter pill to swallow.

Once again, it is all tied together, on of my favorite passages from the Koran states,

"
36.51": And the trumpet shall be blown, when lo ! from their graves they shall hasten on to their Lord.

"36.52": They shall say: O woe to us! who has raised us up from our sleeping-place? This is what the Beneficent God promised and the apostles told the truth".

Let us, for a moment, forget GOD, forget Islam, and forget religion, then notice how contemporary this passage is. We created a society, and we said we did not need morals, or boundaries, we did not need truth or honesty, we said it was better to get rich than to pay a fair wages, we said we could exploit the poor, the widows and the orphans and exploit the earth and her resources, now we have poverty, hunger, unemployment, pollution and disease.

LESSONS NEVER LEARNED

05/06/2009

LESSONS NEVER LEARNED

With the meetings underway between the US leadership and that of Pakistan and Afghanistan it is time to review how we got here.

Late in 2001, a friend of mine that used to work at the Pantagon was visiting and he asked me where I thought Osama was and I told him, without hesitation, that i thought he was in the NWFP. And i gave him all my reasons for that belief.

Years before that at a Joint Forces Tactical Exercise, at Hulbert, one of the airmen had this comic strip up in his cubicle. It became my all time favorite Calvin and Hobbes comic strip.

[Calvin and Hobbes are careening in their red wagon through the woods.]
CALVIN: "It's true, Hobbes, ignorance is bliss! Once you know things, you start seeing problems everywhere. And once you see problems, you feel like you ought to try to fix them. And fixing problems always seems to require personal change. And change means doing things that aren't fun! I say phooey to that! But if you're willfully stupid, you don't know any better, so you can keep doing whatever you like! The secret to happiness is short-term, stupid self-interest!"
HOBBES: "We're heading for that cliff!"
CALVIN: [covering his eyes] "I don't want to know about it."
CRASH!
HOBBES: "I'm not sure I can stand so much bliss."
CALVIN: "Careful! We don't want to learn anything from this."

So here it goes,

What does the United States now expect to happen in the Pakistan Afghanistan conflict, for years I have written on the topic, but it seems that the US politicians still believe in miracles, because their "think tanks" and the "specialists" and experts tell them they will happen. I had recently commented on the CNN blog, in a reply to Peter Bergen article "Pakistan Is Not Falling". CNN did not publish my comments even though by looking at the time stamps i would have been second or the third person to write. Same is the situation with our politicians they only listen to what they want to hear.

The United States WILL lose in Pakistan as it will lose in Afghanistan and has already lost in Iraq because

We failed to secure the borders of the countries, the Iraqi insurgencies were getting arms and support from Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia, while we were going around in circles trying to figure out who was on our side, all sides were against us.

Same thing was happening in Afghanistan, by the time we decided to do anything about the open border with Pakistan, it was too late, we were losing in Afghanistan and Pakistan was also lost.

We supported the local politicians we could buy cheaply, regardless of their ability to deliver, we ended up creating more enemies who hated us for what their politicians were doing in our name. It was bad enough in Iraq and in Afghanistan, we supported Bhutto in Pakistan and ended up with a known criminal as the head of state there too.

WE ARE THE CHUMPS, why was Clinton even mentioning Baliwal , who the hell is he any way, how do we support democracy by meeting with him in any capacity.


Time and again I have mentioned the injustice and corruption in Pakistan, which is actually the same for many if not most of the regimes around the world, have we not learned that such regimes can not be supported and maintained, and as the corruption, injustice, bribery nepotism and elitism and the difference between the poor and the rich keeps growing will US also become more like a third world country?

ONE MORE REASON WE NEED FORCED BIRTH CONTROL

ONE MORE REASON WHY WE NEED FORCED BIRTH CONTROL



COUPLE ARRESTED FOR SEX AT WINDSOR CASTLE

LONDON – Queen Elizabeth II was at home at Windsor Castle, the sentries who guard her were on duty, and the large park surrounding the magnificent building was full of tourists on a Sunday afternoon. So it didn't take long for people to realize that something was out of order when an inebriated couple arrived from a nearby restaurant and began having sex on a grass bank outside the castle, according to witnesses.

"One window from the guardroom opened up and when a soldier saw what was going on he told his mates — and lots of windows opened up," witness Mark Robinson told The Sun newspaper.

"The couple did not care who was looking and just kept going as if they were in their own bedroom."

Japanese tourists filmed the couple, who only stopped when police officers arrived on the scene, witnesses said.

Thames Valley Police said the man and woman were arrested and given a written warning about outraging public decency.

The queen was in the castle at the time, but her office declined Friday to comment about what had happened.


Now there are only two questions, one should these peoples parents have been allowed to have kids? When they were totally incompetent, and two should these two morons be allowed to breed, and what kind of klids will they raise?

THE TRUTH, AND THEN PUTTING THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE

THE TRUTH, AND THEN PUTTING THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE

Two things today have caught hold of my attention, and left me wondering, first is what is all the hoopla about the swine flu, what is the big deal, why is the media and the politicians making such a big deal of it, why are they showing their concern about your well being? WHY IS every one acting so scared and looking out for the well being of you and me?

Have we not already learned to live with and cope with deadly viruses, why is the swine flu virus such a big deal, while we rarely threaten people with death when we talk about the human immuno deficiency virus(HIV), human paplinoma virus (causes cancer), and viruses that cause genital warts. Are these viruses not just as deadly?

In reality AIDs has killed more people the world over than the much dreaded and much talked about 1918 flu pandemic. If we were serious about preventing pandemics, we would be doing something serious about AIDs other than handing out condoms.
But how can we tell people to stop fucking around, would it not mean admitting that may be GOD was right?

Commentary: Pakistan isn't falling

04/27/2009

CNN DID NOT PUBLISH THESE COMMENTS ON THEIR BLOG SITE REFERENCED ABOVE04/28/2009

PAKISTAN IS NOT FALLING
Comments on a CNN analysis


Dear Mr. Bergen

"

By Peter Bergen
CNN National Security Analyst

"Editor's note: Peter Bergen is a fellow at the New America Foundation, a Washington-based think tank that promotes innovative thought from across the ideological spectrum, and at New York University's Center on Law and Security. He's the author of "The Osama bin Laden I Know: An Oral History of al Qaeda's Leader."

Sir, you fail to recognize, regardless of f the survey you quote, that Pakistan is a majority illiterate country, and even though it does not have a central religious figure to lead it does have many minor religious leaders that are fed up with the westernization of their society, and many among the military foot soldiers are from villages and are religious, they have clearly not fought Al Queda and Taliban forces as a organized, reliable and disciplined force.

As Bush was a failure at foreseeing the economic troubles, due to his wishful thinking, he also did not recognize the trouble he was in when he promoted democracy n Pakistan ( mainly to put Musharraf in his place when Bush seemed to have lost control of him), Bhutto if any thing was not a beacon of democracy for Pakistan.

In Pakistan you do not have a one major Islamic center, and that is a major major problem again, you have hundreds, many so called political leaders use the name of Islam to incite rebellion against the center and entice their followers in the name of Islam to mayhem and murder.

The privileged classes are only interested in their own survival and benefit, not in the common good of the country. Corruption of the judiciary ( you mention the lawyers revolt) at all levels is shameless and shameful. Zardari government is paralyzed, he is Sindi, the officers corps (mainly Punjabis) want him to fall, he is an idiot any way but he is the president, if he fails another Punjabi, may be a military leader gets to take control.
In Pakistan, defeating Taliban will not be easy because the population in general does not want an "Islamic Force" defeated by the seculars.

Pakistani intelligentsia it self is confused as to where their loyalties lie, they talk appeasingly to the westerners the they take out their Qurans, and try to seek absolution from having cavorted with the infidels. No problem if you sound confused.

A RECOVERY TOO FAR

04/23/2009

A RECOVERY TOO FAR


I am not a pessimist, I have said this much again and again.

But when I hear the news media and the politicians talking about a recovery soon I wonder what they are smoking, or better why and how these people are getting away with these lies.

I know I have myself joked about a recovery based on self help book, may be Dr. Phil could offer one. May be the people at the COSMO have some ideas, they keep promising a wonderful sex life for any girl that will be stupid enough to buy their magazine, may be they will suggest someone that has a bigger package then Obama's (that phrase always made me cringe back in the day when everyone was talking about
Obama's package).

No doubt Obama has the biggest package, bigger than any one ever had before, almost twenty times as big as Bush did, (stay focused folks, we are only talking about the stimulus here).

So we are trying, right, our economy is based on credit they say and everyone is trying to "ease" the credit markets, there i the TARP money, there are banks with money to loan to the nice people, with good credit. But there is just not enough nice people with good credit left any more.

Nice people with good credit are losing there jobs, and that is true almost the world over . So nice people with good credit are scared to borrow more even if they could.

With all due respect, the size of Mr Obama's packages, and wishful thinking not withstanding, the downward spiral can not be stopped, decline may be reduced, the speed of decline maybe slowed, but it is the new fact of life in the modern era.

The resultant lower standards of living, is the new fact of life, services economy will stop functioning as the industrial production slows, products, however, will cost more as per unit production costs go up, reducing the demand even further.

Of course we could print more money than we are already doing and spread it around, then we could all be like the Afghans and Saudis and sell our daughters to support our bad habits.

WHY " I KNOW" THAT THE HUMANITY IS DOOMED

WHY " I KNOW" THAT THE HUMANITY IS DOOMED

Look around you, look at the headlines, seriously for once, why would anyone even think that the humanity has a chance at survival.

Here are a few of the headlines from the past few days

NY family's murder-suicide deaths baffle friends,

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090422/ap_on_re_us/us_hotel_bodies

"I can't tell you how heartsick I am," next-door neighbor Mary Opulente Krener said. "This is the most wonderful family, the most kind and loving family. I'm astounded."

We live a lie, worship money, money that allows us to hide our ugliness, hides our greed. We are beautiful people only when we have large bank accounts, and large homes, is that not the media tells are all the beautiful people living in all those beautiful homes. William Parente did not kill his wife and children, ever heard of dealing with the devil? Devil exacted his price.

Police say mom ordered daughters out, drove off

"Madlyn Primoff, 45, a partner in a Manhattan law firm, pleaded not guilty Monday to a charge of endangering a child. A temporary order of protection was issued, barring her from contact with the children, who were physically unharmed."

"Iris Gorodess, 49, of Mahopac, who has four children ranging from 10 to 19 years old, said she sympathized with Primoff's actions, right up to the point where she pulled away.

"I used to pull over and make the kids change seats. Also, I make sure the kids have their iPods and their games. And I have a minivan, so they're not up my neck all the time."

Here are two morons, along with I assume their sperm donors, who should have never been allowed to have children, they not only not know how to control their children. The first moron left the kids on the side of the road, the other does not know that not all people in the world raise kids with iPods and family vans, do your kids not know how to get along? let me tell you why, IT IS because THEY HAVE iPods and videos, and don't need each other, and you don't need them.

But there seems to be conspiracy around the world to prove me right, Nations have destroyed their finances an social systems just to m,ale me seem right. I have caused the great economic depression and the destruction of the social fabric of nations.

UNDERSTANDING ISLAM

04/11/2009

UNDERSTANDING ISLAM

I started studying Islam before before I had any awareness, it is a custom in religious societies to start the indoctrination of children at a very young age thus as they grow up they have no capacity of denying or defying any beliefs they were taught.

This not to say here that there is any problem with someone believing in Islam per se. But to say that Islam requires a blind faith and following is also misunderstanding of the true religion.

Sometimes the traditions are followed that have nothing to do with the basic religion itself, such is the matter today with Christianity that has adopted the Easter Bunny and the churches hold the Easter egg hunts. Sometimes Muslims also follow practices that are not based in Islam and its teachings, but still have become a tradition that can not be disobeyed.


In this article I am not going to argue as to the validity of any of the teachings of Islam, but as to one particular practice that has become an important part of religion itself while there is no guidance that exists for or against the practice.

As I said previously I started my study of Islam at a very young age, including the sharia and the ahadees. In my later years, if seventeen can be called later, I learned to speak Arabic, and became fluent in it at that time. I was able to read the " Gone with the Wind" and also "War and Peace" in Arabic. I also took a college level exam in a subject called the "Islamic Civics" ( al Skafa al Islamia). The reason I state all this is not to impress you but to validate my credentials.

The discussion comes along time and again as to if the Quran should only be read and taught in Arabic, as is practiced in a majority of Islamic countries. Many of my friends insist that it must, others just politely desire to ignore me, as they have done for years in many other subjects also.

In places the Quran states that the book is to teach (Yalemoon), other places it uses the phrase (Yafkahoon) to understand, elsewhere is the phrase ( Yatadabroon), to think over, to meditate over, to contemplate, a thoughtful consideration. The Quran needs to be learned, to understood and to be thought over. Only then the spirit of Islam can thrive.

By any estimate over two third of the Muslim populations are not fluent in Arabic, over half are totally illiterate, to argue that the Quranic study and learning can only be done in Arabic is a point not a part of Islam it self but a long standing, albeit misguided tradition.

It is not enough to just hand a lantern to a blind person, it is even dangerous. The person would go on stumbling, and could even cause a fire. God is a God of knowledge and reason, He would not expect a billion people reciting His word without ever knowing the meaning and His message.

The first revealed word of Quran is, Iqra" to read, yet many among Muslims bar the females from learning to read, they burn the schools and murder the children considering it Islam, many others decline to condemn the practice at least in a belief that those perpetrators might just be right.

It is said that God is not confused by multitudes of languages and voices, then why insist that He only accepts Arabic as a preferred language. And are Muslim children forced even beaten into learning a text that is meaning less without the knowledge of its verse. IS THAT GOD"S WILL???

Does Islam need to worry about its destruction by its enemies? May be. Are there people who want to see Islam fail? Sure! How many among the Muslims, persons and governements are working to educate the masses ( besides the emphasis on rote learning of Quran may be), few indeed. If Islam fails it will not be because no one was reading it in Arabic. Islam will fail because Muslims lacked the real world education, and no one cared. IQRA!

A NEW WORLD ORDER, 2009

04/07/2009

A NEW WORLD ORDER, 2009

Note: this will be a continuing article being updated for the next few days or weeks


Consider this an update or a continuation of my article, A New World Order, 2003 which is available on this blog by clicking on the title above.

My articles here, in this blog are inter connected. Whether about society, economy, society, politics or religion, you can, or you should be able to see how one thing leads to another to another. When religion becomes accepting of lower moral values ( it is OK to sin since you are forgiven) it leads to personal and political corruption and destruction of society and family. Political corruption allows for laws, (gambling, usury interest rates, and payday loans) to be passed that let businesses and some individuals prey on the consumers, the people. People in this case are just as guilty, not working or not living within their means in most cases. Also not educating themselves and thus falling prey to the crooks. In the USA today, with free education available to all, no one has to be stupid, but then many chose to remain ignorant.

Somethings in human experience are more closer than you think, children in Gaza facing up to tanks and rockets, suicide bombers in Pakistan, Iraq or Afghanistan and the mass murderers of our own United States have somethings in common, they are desperate, they have nothing else to lose, they don't give a damn about anyone else and they are not looking for a compromise.

The world over, the dreams and aspirations of billions have suddenly been decimated. Billions of dreams of retirement ( forget a comfortable one), of a decent college education, providing for their kids, of owning a home, even of just having something to eat are lost.

We were promised a Shangri La, was it all a lie? Did any one "in the know" "know" anything? Is there anyone responsible for the mess we are all in? Who? Like I have said before, time and time again, the thieves that stole the goodies are in charge, they are in the White House, and the treasury, and the congress and the senate and the Federal Reserve.

But we have no time to go looking for anyone, we are free, are we not? we are free to fuck anyone we want, we have the freedom to get fucked, is that not enough?

We have been duped folks, we have been dumbed down, nay, we have been made brain dead, in the age of information and inter net, we have been made too stupid to even ask the right questions.We have volunteered to get a lobotomy thru our TV and our computer screens.

OK so tell me what happened last weekend, what was the big story, it was Michelle touching the queen, no? OK, it was Michelle kissing Carla Bruni, no, actually it was what looked like the Queen grabbing Michelle's ass, did you see that one?

So we say that Hitler killed millions, or Stalin did or Mao, Khmer Rouge had their killing fields, and we while wait millions will die of starvation, wars over resources, fore blood diamonds, or blood coffee or blood cocaine and blood marijuana, and millions others will soon die again of starvation for lack of cleaning water, or food and where are the guilty now? Why we don't have a Hitler or Stalin to point our fingers at?

In 2003, I had mentioned that we really don't give a damn if sub Saharan Africa dies, or kills its own dies of starvation or dies of disease, we only provide lip service, was I so wrong?

Of course we can say that really no one died because of the actions of the bankers and the Wall Street, and of course OJ was never found guilty of murdering his wife too. Millions around the world have lost their jobs, their homes and their retirement savings and no one is guilty.

Yes, you are reading this on a computer, and yes I am blogging on the internet, I am on the Facebook, and have a cell phone for everyone in my household. We have become so enamored of our computers and cell phones and the internet that we fail to see that despite all of their many benefits they are the bane of humanity today. They in fact not only control our lives and our time, they expose our our most private thoughts and deeds, tell on us what we do and where we go and where we have been. They expose our children to most dangerous ideas and dangerous predators. They cause our families to break up and in many instances allow or let us do many unsavory things we would not imagine doing otherwise, they destroy our moral underpinnings.

Police: Dad killed kids because wife was leaving


Here is just one quote from the article, "My niece has been so controlled from the time she was young," Johnson said, adding that Harrison had impregnated Angela when she was 13.

Still think children should be allowed to date and make a major decision as who to have sex with and when to have sex? We are not only putting our own kids in harms way, even though some stupid little bastard may write back that it is their choice and their right, then so it was the mans right and choice to kill his family right?

No one is immune from making stupid decisions, in this case he hurt many others too.

FIVE KIDS KILLED BY FATHER

04/04/2009

FIVE KIDS KILLED BY FATHER
(NOTE, Seattle Times on line did not publish these comments)

So lets all blame the guns, of course a gun was used to commit a crime, to kill five kids, and so was a bath tub used to kill the five kids (YATES) in Texas, should we ban the bath tubs too? Or the guy in Alabama who threw his four kids of a bridge, we should ban bridges too?

The real issues are, as always over looked in this modern society of pop psychology freaks. "Let's just ask Dr. Phil what the man was thinking. The real issues here are, one, the economic pressures, even if the man had been working could he really afford to have five kids, why does any one need five kids? How you support five kids, when you live in a trailer, go ahead say the kids would have been ok in a loving family, NOT! third world is full of loved and starving kids that are very much wanted.

Two, he was thirty five, that means when ever he was seventeen or eighteen he started making babies. What the heck any seventeen year old is doing making babies, he should have been school worried about getting good grades and getting in to college, but our culture, our failing culture has accepted it as fact the seventeen nay fourteen year olds NEED to be having sex, that is there human right,
May be he was tired already of having to support the kids, whom he probably believed to be the cause of his misery, so all you parents out there who think that it is cute to have your kids getting sex while in puberty, here is a lesson in what can happen, when you are using a gun of a different kind.

MEANING OF LIFE


MEANING OF LIFE


Meaningless lives
we search for the meaning
of life
in the books,
or on tapes
twenty-nine-ninty-five
or on Oprah,

looking for depth
in the world of fast forward, fast food
and microwave dinners
hooking up, raves, designer drugs
and instant coffee,
biography of princess Di,

Looking for a soulmate
(clueless)
in the personal ads
(picture required)
or thru a matchmaker
ofcourse, the pre-nups,
and lawyers

Information overload
and no time to think
four walls,
seventeen inch screens
we don't even blink

day and night
searching always
for that one thing new
no satisfaction, for me and for you

MY REASONS

I know, some of you may find my blog long winded, and I totally understand. But as you look around and try to understand why the world is suddenly upside down, if not your own life, yet. Then you must understand that I have to try and explain what is happening and why things are the way they are, and what is next in the life of this country, life of the world and your life.

You may wish to laugh at me now, but you are always welcome to look through the archives here and tell me where I had been wrong before , and what i had said was wrong, then you will understand what is next and why.

THE MORE THE THINGS CHANGE

THE MORE THE THINGS CHANGE

In case anyone here is confused, we elected Obama (not by my vote though, he is president) for change, and in case you are confused as to what has changed, let me tell you that nothing has changed.

If you listen to the right wing nuts or the Republicans, you would believe that Obama is a socialist and wants to tax the rich, so that the poor can live on welfare and make more babies, (mostly black and illegals).

In reality though, Obama has continued the transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich just as the Republicans have been doing for thirty years. I have previously shown how the rich enrich themselves by usurping the work (wealth is only created by labor adding value to a marketable product) of the workers by keeping the wages and benefits low. I have also shown that the "wealth", for the benefit of the rich, in the world was being created by the governments of the world going in debt, and workers pawning their future earnings to by products on borrowed money.

It is slowly becoming apparent to the masses that the money that the government is borrowing for bail outs is actually being transferred to the real rich that remain nameless as of yet.

Timothy Geithner is a liar, only yesterday he was more polished in his lie telling( Face the Nation). He sounded knowledgeable because he had practiced his lies and did not have to stop and think up an explanation.

When they keep talking about taxpayers, they are not talking about the rich, since they are already getting the money even if they have to pay some of it back at a later time. They are talking about the average person who will be left holding the bag, ( an empty bag in this case) and will have to pay back the money.

So when some one talks about transfer of wealth, remember it is still going money from the workers to the rich on top. Obama has not changed a damn thing , he should be called out on it!

here as a reminder is my post from

07/07/2006

SLAVERY
It is a basic economic fact that in a market where labor is plentyful, the wages will drop. So it follows that when we live in a global market and this market has a glut of workers, pretend as we may the wages and thus the standard of living of the working class must fall. And what is service economy anyway. Service by definition does not produce anything and does not add value to anything, be it making of a burger or advice from a banker. You could always make a burger your self , go to a fast food restaurant and pay three dollars or go to a fancy bistro and pay eight dollars, it is still a burger, and the same advice you get from a banker could be gleaned from a magazine or researched on the net. As we are finding out that the certain office duties or banking functions can be performed anywhere in the world, thus no chance for one to improve their lot in life by extra hard work or education. As we watch we are being sold into slavery without being aware of it , YET. (M.N.R.)

TERRROR IN PAKISTAN, AGAIN


When an average person thinks whatever they are doing is within the teachings of their belief then falsehoods take root, we forgot that the basic tenant of religion is taking care of the community, the poor and the widows and orphans, not trying to get in to paradise. We , all of us, put more emphasis on getting into paradise, getting to paradise should just happen incidently because you were doing good, true worship, Ibada.

Justice, and elimination of corruption, bribery, and the nepotism, the rich taking care of the other rich and no one taking care of the poor, increase in poverty and hunger, uncontrolled birth rate are all causes of terrorism at a deeper level, we will have these problem so long as there is corruption in the system, drones or not.

UNITED STATES BEING RUN BY IDIOTS

We really need a presidential declaration that the United States of America is being run by idiots, it is only fair you know, to warn everyone that wants to be like us or deal with us to warn them we don't really know what in the hell are we doing here. First of all we are say 46% Republican and 46% Democrat country and 8 % who don't count for anything any way and have no say so in the goings on. But at any given time each of the 46% is trying to prove that the other 46% percent are absolutely wrong, and guess what, they are absolutely right.

Look at our defence spending, social security, welfare policy, deregulation of the markets, abortion or not, health care (private or socialized) all are failures in toto. Our education system is failing regardless of the amount of money spent, we did not know 9/11 was coming or that Iraq did not have weapons of any destruction. We did not see the dot com bubble and did not see the current crash coming, or that the housing was over priced.

Yet we keep listening to the same experts and keep reelecting the same morons to the congress and the senate, Democrat or Republican.

CHANGE WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN

03/25/2009


CHANGE WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN


Let us understand this first, the housing mess, the bad assets, whatever you call it, these houses were build with money that never existed, loaned to people who could not pay it back , by the people (banks, financial institutions, hedge funds, insurance companies) who did not have it in the first place!

So what is our government up to now? We know that the crisis in the economy today was brought on by the bankers. Millions today are homeless, jobless, broke, in part due to their own stupidity and greed, and in part due to the greed and the scams of the bankers.

But as millions lose their homes and their futures the government is bent on giving money and guarantees to the bankers who brought us here.

It is Wall street stealing money form people all over again, what has changed here from the government changing hands from the Republicans to the Democrat majorities in both house and the Senate and a Democrat in the White house. We are still handing over the keys to the kingdom to the same batch of thieves.

I have explained elsewhere that when the government spends borrowed money, the money ultimately ends up with the richest, ( who again with lower taxes get to keep the most of it )now the government is willing to borrow the money and hand it over directly to the rich without any benefit to the working and the working poor.

Another fact is that the when government borrows money, it is paying more in interest than the FED charges its "member banks", thus the bank can make money it does not have just on the spread,

That is the banking, housing, rescue plan of Obama and Geithenr and Bernanke and company now, to write IOUs on behalf of the American public, and hand over the cash to the bankers directly to buy the so called "bad assets".

A RESET TO DEFAULT

03/25/2009

A RESET TO DEFAULT

Recently I had an opportunity to sit in on a meeting of an imam, a rabbi and a preacher of the gospel of Christ trying to bring the "communities of faith" to get along and act together for the common good of the community and the humanity. It was and uncommon pleasure indeed to see that at least some people of God were willing to let the God do His own thing in His own time, and just to get along here on earth in peace. May be IF there were to be a "GOD", HE might like it.
It is not to say that I Believe! My observations of the people of God and their follies is no secret. I actually love to expose the inherent hypocrisies of the religious. Mostly two faced, holier than thou good for nothings who look down upon seculars as know nothings. (click on the title of this article to read more)

How often in the history of God man has gone astray and then only reverted back to basics when **it has finally hit the fan.

I do not believe in a deity per se, but if it works for you then it is ok with me, I do however believe that the ancients were on to something when they wrote books and set the boundaries of human and community behavior, some today called that a religion, I call it common sense.

Man kind can not exist without boundaries of character. One of these being "Thou shalt not covet".

If you were to open your eyes , look around and see, you will see that the economic mess that we are in is in the whole based on unbridled coveting, we as a nation and the world fell into the coveting trap.

While I sat through the meetings, last two Tuesdays, and enjoyed the message that some in different beliefs are still willing to put their personal beliefs aside and work for the common good of humanity, my mind was still occupied with the thoughts of those who are so damn willing to go to heaven that they are willing to do everything that is barred by the commandments of their own "GODS".

DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS, OR WHATEVER!

03/23/2009

DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS, OR WHATEVER!

Oh my, white powder! or a green economy, only if I had not been sober since the late seventies, the treasury has a plan, and the markets are up, Dow is up over three hundred, the recession must be over, the Armageddon is stared down at the free markets door step.

And I don't have any white powder or any green leafy substance, or the good pills that Alice took.

As the rabbit spoke, Alice could "see" his words, taking the shape of a tail, she was lost in her own thoughts, and could see the story words forming in the shape of a tail, a twisted and a tortured tail. The tail was scary, ( read below), and it pronounced a death.

We are a good people, compassionate, and caring and utterly immature, perpetually immature.

Where is this money coming form, and how will it be paid back? What IS Obama's plan?

We spent eight years listening to Mr. Bush about how the wealth was being created, and I was warning about us being the brokest country on the plane. He told us to go out and spend money, and we did, and he spent the country in to bankruptcy, while we borrowed more of the money being created out of thin air.

Now Obama is going to fix all the problems of this country, with the money he does not have, and all will be well, in the land of OZ, formerly known as the US of A.


We can not solve all the problems with money, NO SIR! No more than we can fix all ailments with snake oil. Our problems are structural and very much human. I have argued for years that we waste money in education when the kids are not willing to learn, where the parents don't give a damn and where the kids are more interested in screwing, and foot ball and beauty pageants.
We can not solve the crime problems where the kids are had just for having kids, and then thrown out to raise themselves while the "parents" are trying to get their own lives together.

Similarly we can not fix the jobs problems when we say we are committed to a global economy, we can not increase wages and reduce poverty when someone overseas can do the job cheaply, and we can provide health benefits when we want everyone to live for ever, even the brain dead ones.

So here is the only question I want to ask Obama, Geithner , Bernanke and Bush, tell me the truth please, will things will EVER be as good as we had, or are we in for a long long period of depressed economy, higher joblessness, more poverty, more crime, fewer people with health benefits, no retirement. Are we not just another third world country?

WHERE IS MY NOBLE PRIZE IN ECONOMICS???

WHERE IS MY NOBLE PRIZE IN ECONOMICS???

Bernanke defends big bank bailouts

""NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke responded to ongoing criticism of the government's efforts to keep alive institutions it has deemed "too big to fail," saying that this is an "enormous problem" that needs to be addressed.
Speaking before a group of community bankers in Phoenix, the central bank chief argued that actions taken thus far to prop up the nation's largest banks have been extremely unpleasant, but necessary to preventing further harm across financial markets and the broader economy.
"I do not think we have had a realistic alternative to preventing such failures," he said."
" Many smaller community banks avoided making too many subprime mortgages and also did not own the types of toxic securities backed by these loans that have plagued big banks. """

I believe it is high time, as I have previously suggested, that Bernanke, Paulson and Geithner, Greenspan etal, not just be put on stand, or in congressional hearing, we need to give these "experts" lie detector tests, the FBI needs to be looking in to this mess that we are in, and find out who knew what and when and how this racket was continued. It is hard to believe that myself with no more than two quarters of economice saw this coming many years ago, while these giants of ecoonomics never saw it coming.

Once again, I am not worried about the hundred forty/ sixty million in bonuses, what I do want to know where the one hundred seventy BILLION to the AIG went to, how many individual millionaires and billionaires benefited from this bail out ( got the government, tax payer money) and that is the real story.

FREE WILL??

You know, you should know I have problems with religions, I have bigger problems with the religious of every stripe, I am not impressed by what you believe in, I am impressed only by what you ARE!
Religion it self is anti reason,  (no, your one too), first there is no karma, if it were true the poor would be rich and the rich would be poor, off and on, the torturers would be getting caught in combines in a field or run over by steam rollers on the pavements, and of course the bankers would find their homes looted and their bank accounts stolen, the people who starve the hungry around the world for profits would find them selves lost in the mountains without food or shelter, it does not happen.
If there is a god's plan, and a god's will then the man can not have free will, people do not choose to be poor, illiterate, blind, be stricken with cancer, if god has a plan it is a damn lousy one.

LIES THAT WE ARE TOLD

03/18/2009

LIES THAT WE ARE TOLD

So we hear all the noise about how this that and the other politician is helping fix the economy, so are they?

The biggest lie being told , right now, is the bank bail out. Who is actually being bailed out? And how does it help you get a job is a mystery, but we are being led to believe that it is working, that it will work.

If I am to believe that in a down economy, with consumption going down, and people not having any money, if only we could give money to the banks to make loans, they will, and everyone will get a job, and I do believe them then you don't need to read what I write. What will you think if i told you that I am going to open a bar, a restaurant, or start a trucking company, build a new mall, will you loan me any money? no , neither will the bank. Banks may have money to loan, but no sane person will go and borrow it, if they know they will have to pay it back. That is why the government is ready to guarantee just about any loan, business or personal. And this will put us back in the same hole we are trying to get out of.


The politicians are all over the place grand standing, they are so angry that the AIG execs are getting big bonuses, and you are impressed, dutifully impressed, right? And they are haggling over a hundred sixty million dollars of YOUR money. Right.

Can any one please tell me where these people were when the US government took on ten plus TRILLION dollars in debt, without a discussion in the congress, or without an authorization to raise the national debt limit.

They are all talking about the recovery, of jobs being created, has anyone been talking about the increasing homelessness and what we are to do about it? The increase in crime, petty or otherwise, where we will place these new millions of "criminals"? What police force will be available? Or even how we propose to feed the the new millions of the poor and hungry? The current welfare systems are being stretched already.,

BERNEKE PLAN FOR RECOVERY

03/17/2009

BERNENKE PLAN FOR RECOVERY

Is there any doubt that living out the "Alice in Wonderland", I showed you previously how our education system is wholly based on the Alice in wonderland "caucus race", (SO, WHY ASK ALICE). If you listen closely this is also the Bernenke plan for recovery. The mouse proposes a plan to dry out Alice and others who are wet from the "Pool of Tears" by speaking on a dry subject, recovery in this case is the elusive "IT".


At last the Mouse, who seemed to be a person of authority among them,called out, 'Sit down, all of you, and listen to me! I'LL soon make you dry enough!' They all sat down at once, in a large ring, with the Mouse in the middle. Alice kept her eyes anxiously fixed on it, for she felt sure she would catch a bad cold if she did not get dry very soon.'Ahem!' said the Mouse with an important air, 'are you all ready? This is the driest thing I know. Silence all round, if you please! "William the Conqueror, whose cause was favoured by the pope, was soon submitted to by the English, who wanted leaders, and had been of late much accustomed to usurpation and conquest. Edwin and Morcar, the earls of Mercia and Northumbria--"''Ugh!' said the Lory, with a shiver.'I beg your pardon!' said the Mouse, frowning, but very politely: 'Did you speak?''Not I!' said the Lory hastily.'I thought you did,' said the Mouse. '--I proceed. "Edwin and Morcar,the earls of Mercia and Northumbria, declared for him: and even Stigand,the patriotic archbishop of Canterbury, found it advisable--"''Found WHAT?' said the Duck. 'Found IT,' the Mouse replied rather crossly: 'of course you know what "it" means.'' I know what "it" means well enough, when I find a thing,' said the Duck: 'it's generally a frog or a worm. The question is, what did the archbishop find?' The Mouse did not notice this question, but hurriedly went on, '"--found it advisable to go with Edgar Atheling to meet William and offer him thecrown. William's conduct at first was moderate. But the insolence of his Normans--" How are you getting on now, my dear?' it continued, turning to Alice as it spoke.

'As wet as ever,' said Alice in a melancholy tone: 'it doesn't seem to dry me at all.'

"Later this year the recovery will begin", we may still all be wet, for a very very long time.

AN ISSUE OF FAIRNESS


As the joblessness increases so does the poverty and the homelessness. We are a nation of compassionate people and want to help the poor, so I am right so far, right?

Here are two problems, we are a broke nation borrowing money , even from other countries to keep going, "temporarily" even though this temporary situation has lasted over a generation while the fix is just over the horizon. Are you with me so far?

We are borrowing money from the people, who have no money to give, their own people have no health care or welfare system like ours, where the poor can live in comfortable homes and have air conditioning and color TVs, large screen minds you. Why their poor should be obligated to support our poor.

Two and this is the worst, the new homeless, living in shelters and tent cities and parking lots are the ones who up until recently had worked, had jobs and even homes. While they are forced to live in these conditions people who have never worked or did not make an effort to improve themselves and have been on the dole for long periods get to stay in comfort.

It is time, while we are solving other problems, welfare system needs and immediate looking into, we need to provide equal measures of comfort and support to all, if we must, and unfair and unequal welfare program will cause us problems soon if not corrected.

NEVER NEVER LAND

So now the chancellor of the ex-chequer, that is treasury secretary to you and me, warns against pay increases in the face of 3.6% inflation in a month.

Can you tell the difference between the truths that you "KNOW" , and reality?

Did I not tell you many years ago that we were being sold in to slavery. One thing good about owning the slaves is that you get to chose whom you want to feed and who you want to keep. and this economic crisis increases in magnitude, surely people will be willing to work food, or food and shelter. Once you have enslaved a people, it is easy to bargain the terms of their employment.

""""The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.
`Who are you?' said the Caterpillar.
This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'
`What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar sternly. `Explain yourself!'
`I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir' said Alice, `because I'm not myself, you see.'
`I don't see,' said the Caterpillar.
`I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly,' Alice replied very politely, `for I can't understand it myself to begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing.' """"

PAKISTAN ON THE BRINK


For sixty years Pakistan has been ruled by thugs and thieves, that's why I had wrriten to President Bush to stop lying that he wants democracy in that country, and supporting Benazir. In the end Benazir did go to Pakistan and was killed.
Zardari , a crook that he has been all his life, was elected by the illiterate masses in sympathy and now he is showing himself out to be what he always has been. a thug and a thief.

It has been the policy of the West to support any one corrupt or corruptible, for the leadership in the Middle East, and elsewhere as long as they agreed to kow tow to the West and sell out their own populace.

In Pakistan US may have chewed up that they are able to swallow, one, Pakistan is a nuclear armed country, two they have an Islamic insurgency that is proving to be more capable than Pakistan forces can handle, three, Zardari is after all a Sindhi, with very little support from the majority especially now that he has usurped the power of Nawaz Sharif. Unless the military once again steps in Pakistan will break out in to chaos, in a very short order.

A civil war, a clear possibility, or the break up of the country in to will have severe consequences far beyond its borders, and India may try to step in to the breech.

I had written Bush, that he was lying about Benazir, Us will suffer the consequence of baring a false witness.

SEX AND FORECLOSURES


So you say how is sex related to foreclosures? Let me explain, in today's society it is not uncommon for a woman to have a child or two from a previous relationship when she gets in a new relationship ( it could also be a man). Let's say they are from middle class or better and buy a home depending partly on the child support income from the previous partner to pay expenses, even some of the mortgage payment. Now in these tough economic times if that previous partner losses their job and the child support stops, you know what will happen next.

Also as the job loses increase, we have laws on the books to jail "dead beat" parents, all these people who now can not afford to make child support payments also actually face being jailed and also have child support payments acculmulate to the point that getting a job would be meaning less if all you can do is to forward your pay check to the courts to pay off the cost of your old relations.

OK ! SO WHY ASK ALICE


Well , some people think that Nostradamus had hidden messages in his writings, that he predictied the future.

In the example shown below from the "Alice in Wonderland" did you catch it? It shows the American Education System, still clueless?

Here is the Americna Education system in a nutshell

'Why,' said the Dodo, 'the best way to explain it is to do it.' (And, as you might like to try the thing yourself, some winter day, I will tell you how the Dodo managed it.)

First it marked out a race-course, in a sort of circle, ('the exact shape doesn't matter,' it said,) and then all the party were placed along the course, here and there. There was no 'One, two, three, and away,' but they began running when they liked, and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over. However, when they had been running half an hour or so, and were quite dry again, the Dodo suddenly called out 'The race is over!' and they all crowded round it, panting, and asking, 'But who has won?' This question the Dodo could not answer without a great deal of thought, and it sat for a long time with one finger pressed upon its forehead (the position in which you usually see Shakespeare, in the pictures of him), while the rest waited in silence.
At last the Dodo said, 'EVERYBODY has won, and all must have prizes.'
