SOME DAYS IV

A great day for Newt, and Obama mind you and lousy one for Romney and the Republicans.  I don't care for Newt at all but if you read between the lines the class war that the Republicans were blaming the Democrats for is "ALIVE AND WELL" in the Republican party, thanks to Romney and his fifteen percent tax bracket and the accounts in the Cayman Islands, and he has only his own money to blame. More than likely this puts Romney's boat on the rocks for (almost) good.

If we define insane as someone who has lost touch with reality then the American electorate can be defines as insane in toto. Here is an example,     http://www.facebook.com/ChildrensHospitalofPhiladelphia?sk=wall      
I bring this thing up as a proof of my assertion that some people have no right to have an opinion in a subject matter where they are not an expert, voting for the president should also be one of them.

SOME DAYS III

America is looking for a hero, a piece of lying shit will do. We are forgiving if the sinner is our, I have had discussions with some on line, ooooo we are not to judge, Jesus said not to judge, oh really? Then why are you  for the death penalty? Are you for paroling child molesters?  O.K. then shut the fuck up you  are nothing but a pretend. It is the same bunch that was willing to hang Clinton for a blow job mind you.

I am not for Newt, I am not for Romney, and I am not surely for Obama. But in America we want simple easy answers that make us feel good, we don't mind being fooled or taken for a ride. I though like to tell the truth, America has no time for me, America can not stand me. So what, I really don't care. What I was saying fifteen years ago is now being said by many others, and some people are listening to those people now any way. I told you  I do not want credit, I do not want fame, I do not want recognition, I just want you  to know.

It seems that America is hungry for jobs, any asshole that promises to create jobs is  a hero, just don't give us the real truth, we can not handle it.A three year old looking at grandma is told that she is sleeping and he is satiated and goes out to play, and we are like that three year old, we do not have time to understand that the grandma is dead, we just want to be appeased so we can go out to play, again.

Her is the problem, the people are told that oh I am like Reagan,  or what will Reagan do, blah blah, or that Newt  "balanced" the budget for four years, forget that under Reagan most of the manufacturing was still happening in the United States and we did not have such a big Chinese import problem or the jobs were not yet being shipped overseas en masse,  we do not have the same economy, stop beating a dead horse.

Neither did Newt have anything to do with balancing the budget mind you , it was the dawn of the internet and day trading and higher taxes on short term capital gains that helped balance the budget, but you have to be really smart to know all that , if you are just a stupid jerk you are easily swayed other wise.

SOME DAYS II

SOME DAYS II

Long ago, I said if  people think they have made amends with the Lord or a God or someone they should be humbled and walk the earth in shame still as they had been so wrong and that God had mercy on them, but time are different now, being forgiven by God does not only mean you should be proud and bash other upside the head you  go out and make loads of money for your self and also dare run for the president, too bad I am old fashioned. Though I barely acknowledge the existence of such a God, a don't believe I should be taking advantage of him.or be taking him for a fool.

I suppose knowing God is like being an ex smoker, suddenly you are better than everyone around you,  you are superior life form, super human, and your shit no longer stinks, pretty close right?

Why is this exception (of forgiveness) only for the politicians and may be businessmen or the clergy,  Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, Ted Haggart,  Clinton, Jesse Jackson, and now Newt Gingrich are forgiven, forgiven by the Lord himself and he told then so, why not we believe a few child molesters and rapists also, sure the forgiving God has forgiven a few of them too , no? why not?

SOME DAYS

01/17/2012

SOME DAYS

Some days are like this, I want to speak but there is nothing to say, no, not nothing to say, but it is already been said before.

Where are we going? Where is this country headed, what is the future of the world that we live in? Does any one really care?

I want to say I told you  so, but I told you so, so we are here, as if NDAA ( do you even know?) and just as you  thought it could not get worse  it gets worse, we are going to pass the "SOPA",
no big deal right? The Americans are so proud of their freedoms that they don't even realize that the country is no longer free. There is a reason for all this safety, may be we all need to take out a copy (or rent it on line) of the movie "V for Vendetta" and watch it, watch it again and again till you  get the message, till you can see the reality of your own life today.

Did you  even bother to check out the links above? does it mean anything to you  that we are no longer a free country? Probably not, and it does not really matter now, it is almost already too late. Whatever it was that the elite wanted is already happened or is happening as we speak. The terrible truth is this, that the poor and the working poor, the working classes are pointing the fingers of blame at each other while we give our rulers, and the law makers a free pass.

Look at the "TEA party", look at the "Occupy Wall Street" while we think we are up to something, we are not, blaming some one or another for our misery while the congress and the president go on making laws to kill us, to incarcerate us and do to us whatever, we are busy blaming some one, anyone  for your problems and want someone to give us a solution that will not cause us any discomforts.

What has happened in the past few years that I did not warn you about a long time before? You did not want to hear it, some one was always going to fix the problem, we still believe that, don't you. But there are no solutions, that is exactly why the government needs these laws to protect thee privileged when and if the things do get out of hand, soon. Is that not what I have been saying here for the past five and half years?

Look at the congress, they are divided and nothing is being done to fix the problems of the country and each half pints fingers at the other. In truth the congress is representing the country that is perfectly divided in two camps, each blaming the other for everything that is wrong, there are no middle grounds. Do you know it suits the government and the elite just fine, we are blaming each other while the screw up and steal the country ( the wealth that is).

RON PAUL MATTERS!

01/11/2012

RON PAUL MATTERS!

So it is ordained that the 2012 election( also known as a farce) will be conducted between Obama and Romney, with Obama likely winning four more years of presidency of the United States as Romney will prove himself non electable soon as the other GOP contenders shut up and go home, After South Carolina. The game is obvious, so plain that it can not even be called a contest, yet the game goes on, as if it is all real, as if it all really matters.

The wonder of it all is that Ron Paul is being side lined, like the old crazy aunt in the attic, he can not be right, no matter what he says, he is a kook, he is a racist, he is out of the main stream. but is he?
The numbers tell a different story, we twenty percent of the electorate is listening to him, they at least are convinced he is right, he is on to something, and may be Obama and Romeny need to pay attention instead of ignoring him and trying to sideline him, twenty percent of the people who are sure to come out and vote on the 6th of November 2012 are willing to vote for him, warts and all.

If you listen to the media, they are acting like it is unusual for us to elect racists and homophobes, well we did have Senator Robert Byrd and we did have Jessie Helms, so it would be par for the course to have Paul, and what is so scary about him, at least this time we KNOW, we can watch him, not like Byrd and Helms, and the other closet racists we have in the capital.

What scares the hell out of these asses is that Paul is not in the "Main Stream" well I am main stream (I  have brown skin, I was not born in the US, and I even have a terrorist name, how main stream is that, take that Paul Ryan) I am veteran and retired civil service, and I am for Ron Paul, he does not scare me. 

But he does scare the military industrial complex, he scares the shit out of bankers and the military industrial complex and that makes me laugh, it makes me feel good. If he is against abortion and against dependency on the state so be it, I know at least he is not going to stab me in the back like Reagan did or Bush Jr.

Our media (government ) has a bad habit of sitting on one's dossier until it is time to attempt to discredit the unlucky soul, then we trounce on the unlucky soul, Saddam Hussain was not the only one to receive this treatment, Noriega, Shah of Iran, Markos, Hosni Mubarak, Castro are just a few names on the list, add to this Jessie Helms, and Tom Delay and don't forget U.S. Rep. Dan Rostenkowski. So Ron Paul's oddities are minor and have long been known, he is not strange.

What  is strange is the all out assault on him at this time, after all his years in the office, the elite are scared, the sacred cows have their milk running dry, but why not, he matters right now, at this moment in history America is willing to take a chance on the odd ball, if twenty percent are voting for him in the Republican primary there could be another twenty percent out there that are waiting for the general election, may be even more by then, the Americans are tired of wars, tired of the deficits,  tired of the lies of the politicians and the banks, tired of the mess in Washington where nothing seems to change no matter who is in the office and which office.

He is promising end to wars, end to the deficits, end of war on  drugs, end to unending welfare, end to of shoring jobs, he wants the American government to be honest and open, that is a lot of baloney he is going to take away from the mouths of a lot of pigs here.

And if the recent polling data and the voter sentiment are any indication Paul running as independent could give both parties a run for their money. May be it  is time the two parties listen to the old gentlemen, listen to the electorate. Paul is not just charging the wind mills, he is speaking for a whole lot of people that the two parties are ignoring. His message and the message of these people is that we want to end the wars, we want to end the capital cronyism, we are tired of the Washington corruption, and the sleazy military industrial complex that is ruining the country. We need to  put America and the AMERICANS First. Ron Paul is telling the truth, and people will listen, RON PAUL MATTERS!

Doctors going broke

Doctors going broke


So really, are the doctors in the USA going broke or is it some more of the same ole exaggerated media bull shit and hype,  I do believe it to be the later.


Believe me I know that the doctors are making less, working harder and longer hours and seeing too many patients, there  is too much paper work and too many regulations and way way too many insurance companies and agencies and regulations to contend with, but going broke? I say bull shit.

Here is why and wherefore.

 First of all we must consider that it costs way to much to educate and train a doctor, and then most doctors add on to the costs themselves by over training for particular specialties. Does every doctor need to be a specialist? Many are minimally and marginally qualified in their specialty but the desire for higher pay for less effort is a factor, one can charge at least twice as much if he is a specialist compared to a general practitioner, but here is the kicker, as the number of the specialists in a given field increases their potential income is diluted, fewer patients soon translates in to fewer dollars too. So we meet the  first perfect storm, fewer patients, smaller reimbursements and then high student loans to be paid back, no wonder the doc feels bad off.

Now we have another problem that no one had takes in to consideration,
As is the case with most all Americans, most doctors are also victims of their own  unrealistic aspirations, right out of school and under the burden of student loans it is not uncommon to find the new MD marrying a "high Maintenance" trophy wife, buying expensive cars and moving in to a high dollar abode, then there is the high rent office in a "prestigious" professional building and you have not even made the first dollar and as you open your office the first day you are hounded by "investment advisers" and sundry other scam artists. Here you are a young twenty something who has never made a dollar in your life yet and you have bills already coming out the wazoo, so you buy in to real estate scams and condo deals for professionals just like you and soon you find yourself slipping in to the abyss.

Now is a good time to buy a share in to that professional office building and also to invest in a new MRI? CT scan/ lab on site out fit it is just a few more small payments and the money will roll in right?

Bottom line is this,  A vast majority of the doctors that are going broke are not so because there is no income, but that their investments are tanking, their big money dreams have failed, and the bit off more than they could chew, practices in small towns survive, general practitioners that are not in to investment schemes and living within their means are getting by the doctors that are going broke are the ones who were not there to treat patients and provide a seervice, the ones going broke are the ones who were in  it to get rich, real quick.

Huntsman hits Ron Paul with another ad | The Raw Story

Huntsman hits Ron Paul with another ad | The Raw Story



I am willing to deal with Paul's racism and homophobia if such be true, but at this point in history, Americans need to hear the truth more than ever, Huntsman has no chance so he has been told to stay on the sides and shoot in the dark, see if he can make it stick. Paul is telling the truth to the Americans who have been sold out by the two sides, and have been lulled into a comma while at the wheel of the democracy, obviously they are scared that Paul is not towing the company (establishment) line and that he is rocking the boat.

ROMANCING THE STONES

 HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012

ROMANCING THE STONES

I walk alone
on the edge of fire n ice
everything seems so different
everyone seems so nice

Rolled up the blanket
watch my soul freezing
hiding from the dread shadows of a past
face of time creasing

We were in love last night
we were almost there
dreams, they don't last forever
and I thought that you’d care

Nothing new, nothing changed
nothing ever happens anymore
living out this life, on the edges
I drift from shore to shore

Wild hearts, beat quiet
slowing to the rhythms of time
lower my eyes, I forgot to sin
for to love was my only crime

Do in Rome what the Romans tell you to


 12/22/2011


Do in Rome what the Romans tell you to

 The discussion on facebook actually started with the story "



http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/12/14/french-woman-faces-two-years-in-jail-for-wearing-veil/
you  can read the discussion here on face book first then you will see what am I talking about "http://www.facebook.com/?ref=hp#!/permalink.php?story_fbid=338807816145500&id=704529743&notif_t=share_comment

Andrea, answers are not simple and I know you don't like to be lectured to, to put it simply, the paradigm has shifted, we can no longer go by the assumptions of yesterday, it is the same reason I did not write back to John also. It is hard not to notice how the women's freedom has been stood up on it head. If you notice I was angry about the Egyptian girl posting her naked picture on her blog. I was upset about the protesting girls in Europe exposing themselves in all manner. There are reasons, I have my reasons, if you wish I will post a link to this page on my blog and attempt to let you know about my thinking,

First of all I am sick tired and scared of the zealots of all stripes and colors, not just Muslims in hijab, as you notice on the other page I made a statement against women showing off too much of their cleavage. Just as women in hijab impose on me with their veil, the women showing off their cleavages are asking me to look whether i wish too or not, and whether i look or avert my eyes I am wrong in both  ways.

The practice of hijab among Muslim women is one based on religious doctrine, although the Qur'an does not mandate it. Instead, it comes from the Hadith of Sahih Bukhari. The Hadith, the "tradition of Mohammed," reveals the teachings of the Prophet to believers. Bukhari's version of this text is generally regarded as the standard one, although numerous versions exist. In a very broad sense, the relation the Hadith has to the Qur'an resembles the New Testament's to the Old in Christian scriptures.


My problem is not with hijab, or a woman's freedom to chose what she wears, whether some think it is oppression by men or the culture,  My problem here is with the assumption of so many people that their rights are absolute and must take precedence over the rights, freedoms and the sensibilities of all others.

In a similar thread, where the discussion was about women  wearing clothes that expose more and more of the cleavage,  I was taken to task for suggesting that women are exposing way too much of themselves by the same people  that thought that the hijab was a way for men to oppress women.

It is not a unique idea,  a lot of people think that not only that they know all the answers but also that all their presumptions (assumed to be knowledge) is the only  right way and ALL the other ideas, thought and ideologies are wrong in the absolute.


It is not odd to see that people would argue, I am only asking for modesty and reason, I am not for full body covering Burkhas or Abayas, I only say that not everyone should be showing their breasts in public and I am condemned for it, I am not "old fashioned", but I am only keenly aware that in the last thirty some odd years words such as modesty, chivalry, honesty, fidelity and shame and honor have not only lost  their meanings but have lost their place in the modern lexicon.

I COULD HAVE BEEN WRONG BUT THIS SI STILL NOT KOSHER

12/18/2011


 I COULD HAVE BEEN WRONG BUT THIS SI STILL NOT KOSHER


How America And The Mainstream Media Got Breitbarted On NDAA







An edited video of Carl Levin claiming that Obama wanted the language in the NDAA caused outrage among many Americans, but the full Levin video reveals the opposite.
The YouTube video claimed to be proof that Obama is going to sign a citizen imprisonment law:





However, in the first 30 minutes of the debate Sen. Levin stated that the NDAA provisions do not apply to US citizens:
Hours prior to the YouTube proof video Sen. Levin stated on the Senate floor that the Obama administration requested that the provision be changed so that it does not apply to American citizens, but he explained the provision wasn’t changed because it already didn’t apply to American citizens, “The administration officials reviewed the draft language for this provision the day before our markup and recommended additional changes. We were able to accommodate those recommendations, except for the administration request that the provision apply only to detainees who are captured overseas. There is a good reason for that. But even here, the difference is relatively modest, because the provision already excludes all U.S. citizens. It also excludes all lawful residents of the United States, except to the extent permitted by the Constitution. The only covered persons left are those who are illegally in this country or who arrive as tourists or on some other short-term basis, and that is a small remaining category, but an important one, because it includes the terrorists who clandestinely arrive in the United States with the objective of attacking military or other targets here.”
People need to stop believing everything they read from certain pundits and every claim made in a two minute video.
Yes, NDAA was poorly written originally and even after the changes is a crappy bill; it was written in the Senate Armed Services Committee (McCain/Graham- hello), and as such is a nod to Republican authoritarian stances of the Bush administration. It was co-authored by a Democrat, whom many saw in the above shortened video from C-SPAN claiming the President had asked for “this language”.
Of course, the President did not ask for this language, and this is a matter of record, see the November Senate Armed Services Committee mark up of their original NDAA bill referred to by Levin with objections from Obama:
The new bill would also clarify a number of provisions addressing detainee matters in an effort to address concerns raised by the Administration and others. As requested by the Administration, the new bill would clarify that the section providing detention authority does not expand the existing authority to detain under the Authorization for Use of Military Force Force and make Guantanamo- related restrictions one-year requirements instead of permanent restrictions.
The new bill would also modify a provision requiring military custody of al Qaeda members who attack the United States (subject to a national security waiver) to clarify the President’s authority to decide who makes determinations of coverage, how they are made, and when they are made. As modified, the provision makes it clear that these determinations will not interfere with any ongoing law enforcement operations or interrogations. Under the modified provision, the Executive Branch has the flexibility to keep a covered detainee in civilian custody pursuant to a national security determination, or to transfer a military detainee for trial in the civilian courts. The Administration agreed to have military custody apply to al Qaeda members captured outside the United States (subject to a national security waiver) but disagrees with the committee decision not to preclude the application of the provision inside the United States.
You might be wondering why the video was edited to lead you to believe that he did. That’s a great question.
You might also be asking yourself if the same people who were so willing to believe the author of the bill, Carl Levin, will be as willing to believe Levin’s full statement, in which he clearly says that the President did not want this language.
Had Obama not objected to the language, we would be stuck with the original bill since 83 senators voted yes on the original bill which also passed through the Senate Armed Services Committee unanimously.
People should be asking themselves about the agenda behind not holding the authors of the bill and indeed the Senate accountable for the language in this bill, as it is the same Senate who refused to fund Obama’s executive order to close Gitmo. We note their attempt to run an end-game around Obama’s push for civilian courts and their attempt to slide in permanent changes to restrictions regarding Gitmo. The President objected to those permanent changes.
One would think that anyone who cared about the issue of closing Gitmo would be up in arms at the Senators’ attempt to use a funding bill to get around Obama’s attempts to get around their refusal to fund the closure of Gitmo.
We are in no way defending NDAA. However, the language was changed, and when taken in total (instead of parsed), courtesy of Mother Jones:
It does not, contrary to what many media outlets have reported, authorize the president to indefinitely detain without trial an American citizen suspected of terrorism who is captured in the US. A last minute compromise amendment adopted in the Senate, whose language was retained in the final bill, leaves it up to the courts to decide if the president has that power, should a future president try to exercise it. But if a future president does try to assert the authority to detain an American citizen without charge or trial, it won’t be based on the authority in this bill….
The language in the bill that relates to the detention authority as far as US citizens and permanent residents are concerned is, “Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States.”
The bill is still rotten. It takes us in the wrong direction, moving us toward the militarization rather than the civilian courts this President and the majority of the American people desire. The bill represents the Republican approach to national security; one that the American people soundly rejected in 2008. Luckily the President got the language changed, because even if he chose to veto it, it would be for naught, as the Senate had 83 votes for it and it takes only 67 to override a Presidential veto.
In the House the first NDAA vote was 322-96. The final vote was 283-136 with 43 Republicans voting no. If Obama would have vetoed and 35 of those 43 Republicans flipped to yes, the House would have had the votes to override a presidential veto.
The real focus should be on why this bill was written in this way in the first place, when we the people were very clear about wanting civilian trials, and this president has been clear about his desire to close Gitmo.
In the meantime, we urge you to watch the entire C-SPAN video of Levin, lest we all be Breitbarted, because it matters that we are all clear on exactly who is trying to take our country in the wrong direction.

It's the not the public, but the private finance sector, stupid.

12/18/2011


It's the not the public, but the private finance sector, stupid.


The Autumn Statement reveals but one thing: the Chancellor and his advisers are both ill-advised and dangerously ill-prepared for the forthcoming prolonged Depression. (And if you think I exaggerate, let me remind you that 20 years after the Japanese debt bubble burst, Tokyo house prices are still falling, and the stock market is worth 60% less than 20 years ago. And the Japanese economy was in a healthier state then, than the UK is today, thanks to an export surplus.)
Today’s penalising of the innocent – public sector workers, pensioners and those hundreds of thousands of young people entering the labour market  - is a result of a deeply flawed economic analysis by the Chancellor of the causes of the global financial crisis.

No depression will be averted;  no government borrowing will be reduced; no economic recovery can be hoped for, until the cause of the crisis is correctly analysed and then addressed with appropriate policies.
For me an interesting angle on the day was the difference in emphasis between the official Treasury Autumn Statement, and the Chancellor’s speech. The latter was far more ideological of course; but the Treasury Statement does indicate some grasp of the scale of the crisis. The very first paragraph of the full Statement (on page 11) reads:
“The UK economy is recovering from the biggest financial crisis in generations. Prior to the crisis, underlying competitiveness fell and economic growth was driven by unsustainable levels of debt, with the UK seeing the greatest expansion in debt of all the world’s major economies over the last decade. As a result, the UK experienced the deepest recession of any major economy except Japan and the Government inherited a budget deficit forecast to be the largest in the G20.” (My emphasis.)

AND NOW, If you ( everyone) understood that all this money never existed it would be a different story altogether, the problem is that as this money disappears ( whether by paying it down or writing it off the coming years will require the austerity unimaginable proportions . The governments will fail, the governments will fall and the people will starve, as the economies will grind to a halt. It was all predictable, but everyone wanted all the toys, and no one cared. Either way, those who created this imaginary money will have to win to let us live, as I said in 2004, we are being sold in to slavery we just don't know it yet. say this, but I told you so,

Indefinite detention Act voids US Constitution

http://www.truth-out.org/indefinite-detention-act-voids-us-constitution/1324138696

Thank you Mr. President and the congress for passing the NDAA. You should have really sold this to the Americans as a jobs program for the chronically unemployed and barely educated , the kind we have working for the TSA like. Look at how many private sector jobs will be created for contractors of building and running the prisons,  beating up and torturing prisoners,  re education programs, drug testing ( as in using unproved drugs to  mess peoples minds and health with). Most Americans  will soon appreciate your vision and dedication to the American workers and creating so many good paying jobs that you  always talk about.

Once again I told you so, read this below

FALSEHOOD OF OUR REALITIES

12/15/2011

FALSEHOOD OF OUR REALITIES

It is not enough to want to be right, you must know the truth from a falsehood, it is like a faith, (for the religious ones any way) if you believe in a false God, no matter how hard you pray you can not receive salvation. Such is the case in everyday life too, no matter how hard you believe in these, your false assumptions can not make you  right or save your life or fix your reality.

 In America today it is hard to find someone who would really believe that bad as the things are they are about to get worse, I mean there are some but as whole they are still a small minority.

One could despair at the ignorance of the public, but why? Look at those that are running this country, from the executive to the military  our leaders still believe it is the fifties and they can do underhanded stuff all around the world and no one would notice.

Karzai: Leave us out of your Iran mess

Karzai: Leave us out of your Iran mess



When it comes to the fight between the United States and Iran over the downed U.S. drone, keep Afghanistan out of it.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Wednesday that his country, which shares a border and, as he put it, "deep cultural, linguistic and religious links" with Iran, does not want to be put in the middle of the dispute.  The unmanned stealth aircraft that crashed in Iran recently flew from a base in Afghanistan. The drone was on a CIA mission when operators lost control of it.
Karzai, speaking along with U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta at a news conference after the two met in Kabul, claimed ignorance about the mission.
"Afghanistan was not aware that the drone had gone or malfunctioned in Iran," Karzai said, responding to a question from a reporter.
He said the Iranians sent a note about the incident to the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is following up with the U.S. government. But, Karzai said politely, keep us out of it.

To all the lunatics in charge: keep your heads in the sand


If history has taught us anything, it's that history has taught us nothing. The one trait that unites all politicians is their refusal to learn from their - and other people's - mistakes.
From the Middle East to the US, 2011 will be remembered as the year that this folly came back to haunt them. But you wouldn't guess it by the way they continue about with their business.
Arab dictators have increasingly developed an ostrich-like tendency to ignore what is happening on the streets, to go along with their well-established penchant for cruelty and oppression. read on and then read this

Obama Raises the Military Stakes: Confrontation on the Borders with China and Russia

12/10/2011


Obama Raises the Military Stakes: Confrontation on the Borders with China and Russia

Introduction
After suffering major military and political defeats in bloody ground wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, failing to buttress long-standing clients in Yemen, Egypt and Tunisia and witnessing the disintegration of puppet regimes in Somalia and South Sudan, the Obama regime has learned nothing: Instead he has turned toward greater military confrontation with global powers, namely Russia and China. Obama has adopted a provocative offensive military strategy right on the frontiers of both China and Russia .
After going from defeat to defeat on the periphery of world power and not satisfied with running treasury-busting deficits in pursuit of empire building against economically weak countries, Obama has embraced a policy of encirclement and provocations against China, the world’s second largest economy and the US’s most important creditor, and Russia, the European Union’s principle oil and gas provider and the world’s second most powerful nuclear weapons power.
This paper addresses the Obama regime’s highly irrational and world-threatening escalation of imperial militarism. We examine the global military, economic and domestic political context that gives rise to these policies. We then examine the multiple points of conflict and intervention in which Washington is engaged, from Pakistan , Iran , Libya , Venezuela , Cuba and beyond. We will then analyze the rationale for military escalation against Russia and China as part of a new offensive moving beyond the Arab world ( Syria , Libya ) and in the face of the declining economic position of the EU and the US in the global economy. We will then outline the strategies of a declining empire, nurtured on perpetual wars, facing global economic decline, domestic discredit and a working population reeling from the long-term, large-scale dismantling of its basic social programs. and more, read on

DO NOT BE ALARMED

It is the old political ploy of the governments, talk about war and the enemies while the country is going down the tubes, look at what they have done to this country, we are broke, the bankers are stealing from the treasury in broad day light, while Washington talks about going to war with the only country we depend on for EVERYTHING. to include computer parts for our war machinery. Another war? Really?

Not kidding, they probably were not. But last night had posted the links to two of my posts on here, form back in 2008, on the White House wall. Of course it was before the European and the American markets had opened and the FED had bailed out the European banks.

 Here are the two  links to my posts,

OF VENUS, MARS AND OTHER PLACES

11/25/2011

OF VENUS, MARS AND OTHER PLACES

I know I should have started on it right away but coming home from a long day at the hospital and making it thru the heart cath, I needed my head to be clear, I was sleepy too. "Freaking Men!!!!!! Not just one, all of them.... I can't read them. They are suppose to be simple creatures.... MY A**!!!! Wendy wrote, I had to put my two cents in, I did too. "Book of men has one page only,The Book of women is two pages", I chipped in. "Spill Mohammed!!!! Can't drop that on my page, and run away!! " she wrote back.

"not simple, just simple minded in some ways," I said, " Who women? Or Men? You said women in two pages.... Are simple minds defined by gender......??? Sociology?? Or Genetics?? Maybe by Experience? Nature? Nurture?? Or Via it all, which would leave nothing simple....even the simplest of minds......." she told me.


I started my rant, "actually men and women too are not as complex as we assume them to be, generally speaking, very predictable actually, both are, I speak from a long experience, the reason they are hard to understand is that we assume them to be different when they actually no."you see people fail in relations because they say each time , this one is different, each time it follows the same ole pattern and when it fails, every one says, i did not see it coming, actually we did not want to see it coming because that would have meant we are stupid for following the pattern, I know it sucks , but this is the truth , all of it"

 She wrote back, "
Hmm. There are 12 different personality disorders that effect 97 percent of the population and at different degrees, triggered by different stressors... Plus out of 300 millions sperm and one egg.... Not one person is created alike.... Then ...slap them with a needy momma and a bum daddy....... I think there is nothing predicable about anyone..... However, you can attempt to predict through the limitations of your own understanding..... Example..... Steve Jobs.".
To which I replied, "Steve Jobs was an accident, so was Edison, or Einstein, ninety nine percent in a society follow a simple pattern, mental disorder or not, it is actually the common traits of the society we are talking about more than an individual , much more predictable when you look at it this way, ,". 
"So sociological.... K' but predictability to what degree.... Did you really predict a naked women to walk into your store and ask you to kiss her ass? But it happened.... In what two chapters does that shit happen!!!! LMAO!!!! "
Wait! No.... We don't all fall in the same patterns.... Everything has a common denominator.... But reduced by what???? You can reduce pi..... But to reduce people to a common denominator even defies God..... Even God gives man free will, relinquishing preconception.... Predictability..... Look closer....  
When you look at a community or group....sure it's predicable...it's statistics..... But.... Doesn't that get boring.... Redundant? What about the trees you can't see for looking at the forest...... ? I guess that's another difference between sociology and psychology." She was not done with me yet. 
So here I am writing to explain myself and my position,. Bear with me please. 

For one, the society's norms are not a mental disorder,  we are who we are as a society, whatever our faults or short comings these may be our norms too, that increases predictability, not just guessing but the sure thing. Predictability also make our lives simple and easy, we just follow known patterns, every one knows what to  do and what is expected of them, when there is a wedding and you are invited you  do your best to show up, when there is a funeral, you show up any ways, you are expected to, no decision needed. Same is the plight of a relationship, believe me, we are required by the norms to be in a relationship,  no matter how simple and easy the life would be without being in one at all. 

How much experience do we have to make the most important choice of out life? None, Zilch. What we are to expect in and from this relationship? No clue, no wonder that the whole thing has been reduced to a simple act,  wo action figures going at it and then going about their own lives.


There is a conspiracy among the psychologists, sociologists and the anthropologists to excuse bad behavior, only of late (past fifty years) it is advertised that men and women are not capable of steady and monogamous relationships, which of it self belies the fact that our own Western parents and grand parents kept just such relationships for fifty sixty and more years and many are still in one. We are not a new animal with new behaviors, except that our own expectations (of our own selves too) have been changed, and if you  are looking for such a commitment you are "old fashioned" or a prude.

Also we fail not because of the people are being different, but after a failed relationship, we go out looking for a person very much similar to the one we were in the last relationship with, with of course similar results, people are not so different really, a few differences, but we keep looking for the same personality type. BTW Angie was a mental case, and I had warned the police chief that  she is looking for attention and she will do something drastic, they did not heed my warning until she had killed that little girl. Sad that even then I was right in my prediction.

Our free will is very limited actually, by society's norms, circumstances and our own capabilities,  and then part of our problem in relationships IS that some  people impose their free will upon the partner and even the kids. I could write more on free will but that will be another discussion again totally. At least your free will has never stopped the shit happening to you  when you did not want it.

How are we ever to know what we keep getting ourselves in to?  We have 13, 14 year olds dating and fifty sixty year olds going to relationship classes, something here stinks.

THINKING ABOUT THAT MONEY THING

11/17/2011

THINKING ABOUT THAT MONEY THING

Most people do not know that it cost real money, in dollars and cents, to be stupid. One of the major reasons we are in the mess we are in today ( the major reason we might say) is that most people did not understand money, the bankers, the congress, the presidents, the FED,  no one understood the basics of money or were just being stupid and thus here we are.

There are basic facts about money that are universal and they are constant, no matter  if you have little money or a lot, or whether you are country like the US or Haiti, these rule always apply, they never change.


Today, there is a fight in this country, it is all about money,  there are those on the left that think that there is an unlimited amount of money somewhere and that everyone should be millionaire and none should have to work or want for anything.
 On the other hand I have my Republican friends who think the rich should take everything and the poor can just eat "cake"!. It was not supposed to be like this, the democracy can not survive the stupidity or the selfishness of the majority. To be gentle as I tend to be, if you take the people in the middle, on the left and the right, the vast majority are idiots, and the far right and the far left are a bunch of no good crooks out to scam everyone.

Politicians are all made of the same scum, they will screw their own "motherland" for a little benefit  for their own kind, or we would not have been here, ( do you even know where here is?). We  up the creek and without a paddle, we are fifteen trillion in the hole and they say they can not afford to cut one point two over ten years because it will hurt their backers. For the love of country, what are their priorities, or do they have any spine?

06 July 2006 SLAVERY

It is a basic economic fact that in a market where labor is plentiful, 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.)

If you have read my writing previously, I explain how all the money today is phony and without real value, the money is created and spent to keep the peace in public, and to grow the consumption economy, for the benefit of the bankers and the real super rich, soon this money will disappear as it must, and you have seen it disappear before, either by loss of value or by drops in the markets or both. At the same time as you and I purchase things we need with this money, it also supports drug trade,slavery, abuse of humans and human rights and human trafficking among other ills. We will, of necessity, go to a voucher, chip , card system where you will be allotted  credits according to your worth to the system, no one will OWN property, or anything of value.
