Local News / Angry black man, Harvard
« on: July 21, 2009, 08:32:05 am »
Angry black professor gets pinched for pulling a "do you know who I am?" to the cops when they questioned him after receiving a report of a man “wedging his shoulder into the front door as to pry the door open.”

The uppity race baiter then responded with the typical " do you know who I am?" argument that all liberal elitists use when mere mortals take up their time. "Gates continued to yell at me, accusing me of racial bias and continued to tell me that I had not heard the last of him," the officer wrote.

Obviously the cops who just respond to a break in, only to find an angry black man threatening them, doing their jobs promptly arrested the dumb ass. Who then being a professional race baiter "professor of African American studies at Harvard" then sued.

My heart goes out to the poor cops forced to deal with this angry black man. They don't get paid enough for this crap.

If anyone was racist here, it was the rich wasp liberals who live in Cambridge that called the cops in the first place. The cops were just doing their job.

Global / Race to the Moon for Nuclear Fuel
« on: July 21, 2009, 07:47:27 am »
NASA's planned moon base announced last week could pave the way for deeper space exploration to Mars, but one of the biggest beneficiaries may be the terrestrial energy industry.

Nestled among the agency's 200-point mission goals is a proposal to mine the moon for fuel used in fusion reactors -- futuristic power plants that have been demonstrated in proof-of-concept but are likely decades away from commercial deployment.

Helium-3 is considered a safe, environmentally friendly fuel candidate for these generators, and while it is scarce on Earth it is plentiful on the moon.

As a result, scientists have begun to consider the practicality of mining lunar Helium-3 as a replacement for fossil fuels.

"After four-and-half-billion years, there should be large amounts of helium-3 on the moon," said Gerald Kulcinski, a professor who leads the Fusion Technology Institute at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

Last year NASA administrator Mike Griffin named Kulcinski to lead a number of committees reporting to NASA's influential NASA Advisory Council, its preeminent civilian leadership arm.

The Council is chaired by Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison Hagan "Jack" Schmitt, a leading proponent of mining the moon for helium 3.

Schmitt, who holds the distance record for driving a NASA rover on the moon (22 miles through the Taurus-Littrow valley), is also a former U.S. senator (R-New Mexico).

The Council was restructured last year with a new mission: implementing President Bush's "Vision for Space Exploration," which targets Mars as its ultimate destination. Other prominent members of the Council include ex-astronaut Neil Armstrong.

Schmitt and Kulcinski are longtime friends and academic partners, and are known as helium-3 fusion's biggest promoters.

At the Fusion Technology Institute, Kulcinski's team has produced small-scale helium-3 fusion reactions in the basketball-sized fusion device. The reactor produced one milliwatt of power on a continuous basis.

While still theoretical, nuclear fusion is touted as a safer, more sustainable way to generate nuclear energy: Fusion plants produce much less radioactive waste, especially if powered by helium-3. But experts say commercial-sized fusion reactors are at least 50 years away.

The isotope is extremely rare on Earth but abundant on the moon. Some experts estimate there a millions of tons in lunar soil -- and that a single Space-Shuttle load would power the entire United States for a year.

NASA plans to have a permanent moon base by 2024, but America is not the only nation with plans for a moon base. China, India, the European Space Agency, and at least one Russian corporation, Energia, have visions of building manned lunar bases post-2020.

Mining the moon for helium-3 has been discussed widely in space circles and international space conferences. Both China and Russia have stated their nations' interest in helium-3.

"We will provide the most reliable report on helium-3 to mankind," Ouyang Ziyuan, the chief scientist of China's lunar program, told a Chinese newspaper. "Whoever first conquers the moon will benefit first."

Understanding immigration

By Giuliano Taverna

The immigration debate is permeated by the partisan divide that afflicts this nation, and this is proof of the deep inherent racism that permeates American political discourse. Each side of the issue is lead by racist, and those that meekly follow their lead do so only because the alternative is worse and they would as Aristotle said, "at second best side with the least of evils." So removed from ethical, practical policy is the immigration debate that each side is totally ignorant of the others legitimate points. The delusion of the conservatives and the liberals have dumbed down this issue, just as they have dumbed down the whole of political discourse in America.

The first thing that must be exposed to understand immigration are the cynical calculations of the two heads of our bi polar oligarchy. The republicans and or National Christian socialists of America party, and the democrats or the peoples communist republic of amerkia party, (note America is misspelled on purpose.) The fascists have been going after the white rural south since Nixon and are helped in elections by the xenophobic tendencies of those ignorant rednecks. Therefore opposition to immigration from Mexico where people aren't white Anglo-Saxon protestants makes the racist scumbags happy. Now the communists have been going after the angry black man, and the self hating white man vote since about the same period of time. So they naturally want more brown people from the south, the more radical and socialistic the better, they want people who A will be prone to the "under siege" scare tactics communists use to keep minorities from voting for anyone but them, B be economically disadvantaged, (which many communist policies incentivize) so they will always be looking for new entitlements.  These poor Mexicans are easy meat for the corrupt communist political machine which gobbles them up, and uses them as useful idiots in their bid to dominate the country.

So, now that we know what the vast right and left wing conspiracy is, lets examine what the average republican or democrat on the street thinks. The average republican, (not the aforementioned stereotype the fascists pander to) is concerned about his country. He realizes the importance of citizenship, the English language, and he sees the damage illegal immigration causes, he supports legal immigration, (because he most likely is the product of it) but he doesn't like these rule breakers who step ahead of all those playing by the rules to feed at the growing trough his tax money is wasted to fill. The average democrat, (not the aforementioned stereotype the communists enslave) is either a well thinking suburbanite or the product of illegal immigration but is a born citizen, understands that there are serious flaws in the system that forces many hard working Mexicans who want to make a better life for themselves and their children to get in anyway they can, even if it means breaking the rules. They are also concerned that these poor individuals will be mistreated by the aforementioned racist scumbags and the fascists in their attempt to maintain the redneck vote.

Now that we understand the motivations of the citizens that permit the criminals destroying America to exploit this devastatingly broken institution to continue their looting. Lets explore the ways the system is broken. There is no front door, its not like the old days where thousands of immigrants file off of boats at the gates of Elis Island to be processed, and then turned loose, (provided they passed muster.) The Mexican border has no such facility of necessary size and scope to process the vast migration, insufficient security to ensure people go through processing, and to be frank, no desire by any party to fix these obvious problems.

In areas controlled by the communists like my state the peoples republic of Massachusetts, also known as the principality of Deval Patrick the most noble one. We have what are called sanctuary cities, like my home city, Chelsea, which appears on the map as "here be crack heads." In Chelsea its almost impossible for police to do their jobs, because in stopping someone they are required to ask for identification, and heaven forbid they run across someone who has non, (because they are in the country illegally) they risk being sued for racial discrimination by the red army, (communist lawyer scumbags who race bait for a living and seize property from their rightful owners for their own use while giving a pittance to the minorities they use as pawns.) The wonderful communist reward the sheepified illegal's that support them by providing them with a broken education system that serves as a state sponsored Ponzi scheme for local teachers unions, (an essential part of the communist power structure.) Filthy streets, (which the wonderful communist then cynically blame on the illegal's they pretend to care about.) Nepotism, (because communists are family first and everyone else can drop dead when it comes to politics) and oppressively high taxes for lousy in some cases non existent services. But because they keep us sheep hovering just above absolute destitution and famine we gleefully reelect them term after term, because after all, they aren't like those evil fascists who we are told by our state run local media are much worse.

In business, (the playground of the fascist elite) we see something quite different. Instead of sustaining the illegal's in an environment that is probably only slightly better than the third world hell hole they emigrated from for political power. They put them to work in conditions that are also just slightly better than the third world hell hole they emigrated from for economic power. So to the fascists, the illegal immigrants are best exploited by using them to man sweatshops, plantations, and personal servants in their mansions, (see deposed Führer Mitt Romney founder of the peoples republic of Massachusetts socialized healthcare plan, and f-cker up of the big did, well one of them anyway.) They reward the hard work of their immigrant slaves by beating them, threatening them, and generally treating them in a manor worse than their pets, which are usually ugly small dogs that **** and crap everywhere and bite anyone who gets too close, or morbidly obese cats with absurdly well manicured coats.

So as we see, immigrants, (and those of us poor enough to live in the same places as them) get the experience of living in a third world banana republic, in the most powerful, (supposedly democratic) country in the world. Thanks to the wonderfully broken insane immigration system we have in this country. Now lets explore the effects of the brutal exploitation of immigrations by the left and the right on everyone else! The first thing one has to understand about wages is that they, like everything else in a free market are based on supply and demand. So naturally if there are a lot of people looking for work, and very few people hiring, the wages are extremely small. Now we have a beautiful concept in America called minimum wage that prevents the corrupt corporate bastards from reducing the working class to the level of serfdom. The problem? It doesn't apply to illegal's, so they get the dubious honor of working back breaking jobs for almost nothing, while us privileged American citizens get to enjoy showing up at the unemployment office every day, or going downtown with a cup and begging the corrupt elitist bastards that put us in this position for change. Next there is the imposition of Spanish on people who live in the immigrant ghettos the communist party has turned major American cities into (with cynical manipulation of housing construction) so they don't have to deal their pawns in their rich country clubs in the suburbs. After all, they are just as if not more racist than the fascists, they don't want to have to live next to brown people, (unless its their maid, or gardener of course.) So the rest of us plebes can enjoy walking around the street and not knowing what the f-ck anyone is saying, and having to make the poor girl at the counter repeat herself multiple times because the education system didn't bother to teach her English. And of course having to pay for the official signs, documents, and voice recordings that are in more than 5 languages instead of just one. I would hope my fellow environmentalists are outraged by the genocide of trees necessitated by the pages of documents in both Spanish and English. Also because of the lack of effective quarantines, there are regular outbreaks of diseases that most parts of the first world never get. My sister got ring worm, I was infected with salmonella, (FUN TIMES!) Polio, dysentery, and pandemic flu have also followed the drug funded slave caravans, err... I mean migration. And of course, all these immigrants are kept, (along with those of us that live with them in the communist concentration camps like my city) alive, (barely) by taxing (see extortion) the middle class for revenue,  (blood money) which we pay, because we have to. So those of us unlucky enough to be US citizens have to pay to fund the system screwing us over, an't it just swell?

Now how could we go about fixing this problem? Well first we need to get rid of everyone in the government, I'm divided between French revolution level blood letting and peaceful democratic methods. But however we chose to depose our slave masters, we had better do it soon. Now once we are living in a functioning constitutional republican democracy again. We then work through the process to pass legislation that. 1 makes it easier to emigrate buy funding the construction of institutions to process new arrivals, (like Elis island did for my great great something Pasquali a legal migrant worked who moved back to Italy) and my grand father Dominic Taverna, (who became a US citizen and founded a construction company, Taverna brothers.) and 2, make it harder for illegal immigration by going after the smugglers, and imposing draconian polices on the corrupt bastards that hire them, I would like to see their entire estates confiscated by the state, and distributed to the victims of their crime, but I would settle for fines and jail time, (normal jail where they get **** in the shower and stabbed, not country club jail where the beautiful people go under our bi polar oligarchy.) We also make birth by citizenship illegal, (have to get rid of the anchor baby loophole.) and make illegal immigration a criminal not civil offense, so anyone caught will be automatically deported. Then when these policies are enacted. We hold immigration courts and offer amnesty to all the current illegal immigrants on a case by case basis, (the criminals, communists, and racists can go back to wherever they came from at gun point because they aren't the good hard working immigrants who came to this country to make a better life for themselves and their children.)

That way in the future immigrants will have to be process legally, and all the people who are already here can be sorted out in a pragmatic fair way. I do think English should become the national language, because the only fair alternative to that is to mandate every language on the face of the earth to be used in every sign, document, and message. After all we don't want to give the impression that some minorities are better than others do we? lets all follow the same rules and speak the same language. If Zimbabwe can do it, so can the good old US of A!

I swear I'm not crazy... liberty or death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Essays / The Discourse of conspiracy
« on: July 16, 2009, 11:24:56 am »
The Discourse of conspiracy

Note this is a work of fiction, based on hypothetical discussions between historical figures.

Intro, I was inspired to write this by continual arguments with a left wing conspiracy theorist who made similar illogical statements to defend his theories. It is essentially a parody of the archetypal conspiracy theory argument. It is based on the discourse format used by Galileo and Plato.

Characters

Jörg Lanz chief antagonist

Amadeus VI supporting antagonist

Sir Francis bacon chief protagonist

Niccolo Machiavelli supporting protagonist

Opening,

Jörg Lanz sits alone on the banks of the Rhine writing a newsletter about Jewish plots for world domination, Amadeus VI walks up to him and says. "Jörg Lanz what is it you are doing?" Jörg Lanz replies "waking up the sheep like Aryan people." They do not understand what is right in front of them, how is it that Jews who have been persecuted for millennia have survived, thrived, and now hold the worlds finances in their grip? Amadeus responds "they must have been organized, surly it is an ancient plot, perhaps gifted to the Jews by the devil himself" "Exactly!" replied Jörg Lanz "It came to me in a vision, the Jews have come to posses so much power so quickly, it must be that they have hidden knowledge"

Sir Francis bacon approaches, "forgive my intrusion fellows but I have overheard your conversation" "I am puzzled as to what empirical evidence leads you to the conclusion that Jewish bankers rule the world?"  Amadeus VI scoffed, "is it not obvious?" "Every banker is Jewish, every merchant is Jewish, all the universities are lead by Jews, all the papers are written by them!" Bacon retorts "not nearly all, perhaps a great many, but how is it that you jump to such a conclusion, are there not more plausible causes for this Jewish renaissance?" "Like what?" Jörg Lanz asks.

Niccolo Machiavelli appears, "like perhaps the end result of decades of persecution" "The Jews have been so devastated over the years, that it is likely the weakest among them have been eliminated" "Lives of struggle bread strength, and years of persecution create bonds within communities that naturally allow them to thrive" " they have been excluded from all other sectors of economic activity by Christian law, aside from money lending, which they perform as an essential service." "Therefore I would suppose the very theories to which you ascribe, bring about the situation from which they arise"

Sir Francis bacon adds, "It is also possibly a function of probability" "All powers wax and wane, it could simply be that the Jews are at their zenith, and the Aryans at their weakest, to suggest there is a plot involved is an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence."

Jörg Lanz interrupts " you are just rationalizing to escape the truth!" You have been engulfed by the Jewish lies to such an extent that you cannot see past them! Amadeus VI adds "if you cannot explain the source of the Jews power then you cannot deny our theory!"

Niccolo and Francis look to each other, "I do believe these men have decided themselves to such an extent that reason escapes them" said Niccolo. "reason is not something that can be escaped" Francis. "You there Amadeus VI! Jörg Lanz!" "Prove your position to me, or concede to your inability to present a logical basis for your beliefs!"

Jörg Lanz replies, "no prove me wrong!" "You are the ones defending the status quo, you are unquestioning, obedient and too lazy to reach conclusions of your own!" "You have all been told what to think by the Jews!" added Amadeus VI

Niccolo and Francis laugh... " you are the one claiming there is a massive conspiracy, it is your job to provide proof, since you have failed to do anything but raise circumstantial claims based only on paranoia and speculation, it is you who have been conditioned to attack the status quo for no other reason than it being what it is" Francis said.

"Its truly pathetic, go ahead and preach to receptive ears, the deceiver never lacks victims for his deception, but know that you will only inspire those individuals who are like you. Illogical, delusional, paranoid, and quick to jump to conclusions. Such people will form the basis of no movement that can last." scoffed Niccolo

The two groups depart.

The end.

The Rise and fall of the American empire.

How neo liberal economists and neo conservatives foreign policy advocates destroyed the American empire, and how we can save it.

By Giuliano Theodore Taverna

Since the collapse of the soviet union, America has been the worlds sole global superpower. In that space of time the process of globalization has begun to erode borders, nations, cultures, ethnicities, and national sovereignty. This march of Globalization has been maintained and expanded by two main ideologies that have dominated Washington up until the present. Neo conservatism, and neo liberalism. The former being a foreign policy position, the later an economic position. Neo liberalism is an economic theory that places emphasis on the easing of trade by eliminating Tariffs, Regulations, Certain standards, laws, legislation and regulatory measures, and Restrictions on capital flows and investment. Neo conservatism is a foreign policy theory that places emphasis on unilateral preemptive military action to precipitate regime change and to maintain the current global order. In a break from traditional interventionism they are less concerned about multilateralism and internationalism and place more emphasis on the role of the US and its key allies rather than on the entire global consensus. In this essay I will describe what they have done, and what the effects were, good and bad. And I will explain their merits, flaws, and how they must be reformed in order to save the world order they have been created by, sought to preserve and expand, and have counter intuitively put at risk.

Neo cons fighting the good fight... by themselves.

On March 6th, 1991 President George Herbert Walker Bush declared, "there is the very real prospect of a new world order. In the words of Winston Churchill, a "world order" in which "the principles of justice and fair play ... protect the weak against the strong ..." A world where the United Nations, freed from cold war stalemate, is poised to fulfill the historic vision of its founders. A world in which freedom and respect for human rights find a home among all nations." After his victory in the first Gulf war in which UN forces lead by the united states defended the nation of Kuwait from the forces of Saddam Hussein. This was a war not fought in the direct national interest but for a concept known as preemption. Saddam was not a threat in 1990 to anyone excluding the tiny oil rich nation of Kuwait, moreover Saddam was more than willing to offer the united states and its allies all the cheep oil they wished for in exchange for giving him a free hand to build a new Babylonian empire in the fertile crescent. However the prospect of a war prone dictatorship controlling the middle eastern oil reserves was something the western nations refused to tolerate. In the aftermath of the invasion Saddam remained in power and president Bush called for the people of Iraq to "rise up" Saddam responded with a brutal crackdown that involved the conventional slaughter of dissidents, and the chemical annihilation of minorities with mustard gas. Unwilling to engage in regime change directly, the administration meekly allowed Saddam to repress the uprising remaining in power for the next decade. A long costly anti insurgency and nation building was avoided, but at what moral and strategic cost?

On April 28th 1999 President William Clinton called on the nation to support his war in Yugoslavia, in which communist strongman Slobodan Melosovitch instigated an ethnic cleansing of Muslim minorities in Bosnia. The UN in its typically inept fashion spent the days in bars drinking with the Serbian troops as their compatriots rounded up and liquidated millions of Bosnians. After the shameless ineptitude of the UN, the US in its typical readiness to act, but unwillingness to risk its own troops and thus public opinion about the conflict started an aerial campaign that prevented US casualties, but instead of targeting Serbian troops, simply bombed Serbian cities killing hundreds of civilians. The eventual outcome of the war was an averted genocide and the new states of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Macedonia successfully seceding from the genocidal Yugoslav regime. Yet again the new world order of George W.H. Bush motivated the US to go to war, not to protect its own interests, but to protect "the weak from the strong"

On May 1, 2003 president George Bush declared victory over Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq, and indeed he was justified in declaring victory over the regime his father had defeated years earlier. However what he did not anticipate, which might very well be the reason his father George Herbert Walker Bush declined to actually topple the regime, was the growing insurgency that would soon turn Bush's victory speech, into a metaphor for the failures of neo conservatism, and the policies of the new world order. Its easy for a superpower to topple the regimes of rouge states, but its far more difficult and indeed many would argue impossible for that same superpower to defeat an insurgency and to "bring democracy to countries that historically have not had it."

The conclusion we have to draw from the conflicts we have fought is that in the absence of soviet union that had previously dominated the middle east, and eastern Europe, states that had previously been kept in check by the Red superpower were free to engage in their own ambitions, which in turn motivated the remaining superpower to step in to fill the power vacuum. However, their unwillingness to risk their own troops, take decisive action, and their naïveté in tacking action, time after time marred their success and prompted nay sayers to attack the fundamental basis of their motivation. Many who decry interventionist war claim "its not our business" and to the extent to which massacres on the other side of the world don't effect the average American they are right. However the long term effects of ethnic conflict and empire building have almost always precipitated lager wars between conventional nation states, and the existence of non state terrorist networks have a parasitic relationship to modern nation states and threaten globalization itself which is the basis of the modern world order. So to that extent it is very much in our interest to prevent the spread of these groups, the proliferation of weapons, both conventional and otherwise, and the continued existence of traditional rouge nation states that support them.

Ultimately only with united action along multi lateral fronts with long term commitments to both manpower, funds, and resources, can nation states truly effect regime change and defeat insurgencies and dismantle terrorist networks which threaten directly, and indirectly all nation states on earth. Moreover there needs to be a public drive precipitated by an honest, direct, and effective appeal for this action by the leaders of the nations. The unwillingness of George Herbert Walker Bush to commit troops to assist the uprising he inspired allowed Saddam to commit a brutal suppression and retain power passing the buck to a future president coincidentally named Bush. The unwillingness of un member nations to commit their troops to decisive action allowed a genocide to take place right in front of un forces while they simply sat back and drank with the people committing the genocide. The unwillingness of Bill Clinton to risk public opinion with US casualties motivated a foolish aerial bombing campaign which only succeeded in creating an international incident that set back US Russian relations for years to come, only when American did commit ground forces was the crisis averted. Finally a vague association between Saddam Hussein and terrorism, or the unsubstantiated threat of WMD's was in retrospect insufficient justification for the war, and fatally undermined the war and the credibility of its supporters to the benefit of the enemy.

Neo libs, economic liberalization without social progression. 

Since the presidency of Ronald Reagan the economic doctrine of low taxes, deregulation, and the "invisible hand of the market" have become the defacto basis of the "Washington consensus" as well as the belief that western economies would always outstrip Asian market communism by virtue of the social liberties that spur innovation and prevent crony capitalism as seen in china from destabilizing the market. However a number of policies enacted over the years, have achieved precisely the opposite of what they were intended to do. Create a world where an increasingly fiscally untenable and economically regressive west is forced to borrow from an increasingly economically prosperous capital rich east.

The basis of economic investment has always been savings, however attempts to ease regulations for banking, and loan making has allowed what former federal reserve chairmen Alen Greenspan dubbed "irrational exuberance" in other words the assumption that financial products were worth much more than they actually where. Which given the inevitable economic correction would mean a dramatic destruction of wealth. This was exacerbated by the corrupt policies of large corporations such as Enron, which is the archetypical case of long term fraudulent activity polluting the financial market. The proliferation of toxic assets in the banking system would eventually lead to the massive unraveling by major firms in the financial sector leading to the massive credit crunch that resulted in an almost complete halt in capital investment, the basis of the capitalist economy as we know it. The steps to stop this have resulted in a massive deficit only financial by the issuing of bonds. It is in this way that what was once the worlds largest creditor has become one of the worlds largest debtors.

Elected on a campaign slogan as clear as it was well received, "read my lips, no new taxes" VP George Herbert Walker Bush succeeded his popular successor Reagan as the 41st president of the United states. In his inaugural address President Bush described "a kinder gentler nation" Indeed Bush together with congressional democrats increased unemployment benefits, renewed environmental commitments, and passed civil rights legislation. However at a time of economic recession he was faced with a decision on how to balance the budget that would come to haunt every president since. Whether to issue American bonds on the bond market i.e. increase the national debt and thus the yearly interest payments on that debt or simply raise taxes.

President Bush was wise enough to chose the least of all evils to the delight of his democratic opposition and raise taxes, in spite of the outrage of his republican base who wanted the impossible, a forth option which was a spending cut. This policy would doom the Bush administration, President Bush sat only one term losing the 1992 election to Bill Clinton largely due to republican disaffection regarding Bush and his broken promise.

After a long campaign of wooing the middle class president Bill Clinton succeeded Gorge Bush as the first democratic president since the failed regime of Jimmy Carter. His message was no new taxes on the middle class, new taxes on the rich, and a more liberal America. However an economic recession and renewed welfare commitments prompted Bill Clinton to make good on his promise to tax the rich, and protect the middle class... the problem? Many unhappy people woke up one morning to find that they were "rich" according to Bill Clinton, and as a result the middle class was taxed down to the 250,000 a year level. This decision was later reversed under the Newt Gingridge lead republican dominated congress, in which taxes were lowered, regulations were eased, and welfare was reformed, (dramatically reducing cost and offsetting the tax cuts and then some) all of these things spurred what came to be known as the Clinton surplus. Apparently A democratic executive branch is only fiscally responsible with a republican legislature, and as we saw with Bush 41, visa versa.

On December 8th 1993 Bill Clinton signed the north American free trade agreement which was intended to improve the economies of America, Canada, and Mexico by eliminating protectionism in trade. And while this has been a debatable success, it has had unintended consequences that put its benefits in doubt. As a result of American regulations many companies chose to outsource labor to Mexico further eroding American domestic manufacturing and farming. While the process of free trade can and does have benefits, when it occurs between a nation with high impositions on its business, and a nation with virtually non or even incentives on business, it creates a zero sum game in which one nation slowly consumes the economy of the other, and production shifts to the lower tax, lower regulation environment which is the natural result of market forces. The assumption that the invisible hand of the market would bring us all to a new age of prosperity was of little consequence to the factory workers and farmers now getting buy on unemployment rations even as they are teased with a "made in Mexico sticker" attached to a number of their goods. This same dilemma pervades our dealings with a number of third world continues, and disturbingly our largest creditor China who hold a massive trade surplus which they then use to loan us money to fund our consumption of their goods. Thus increasing our debt, their revenue, and maintaining an uneasy and unsustainable symbiotic relationship that Harvard University professor Niall Fergusson has dubbed, "chimerica"

In the 2000 election the future 43rd president of the united states George Walker Bush ran on two platforms, a humble foreign policy, (which would be totally forgotten in the aftermath of 9-11) and a term coined at around this time as "compassionate conservatism" or welfare based on conservative principles. Indeed on December 16th, 2003 president Bush declared "every American should own their own home" as he signed the "American dream down payment act, which pressured lenders to approve sub prime loans. This was part of the "ownership society" a compassionate conservative tenant that held welfare was fundamentally flawed because it was a collective system that ignored individual responsibility. Instead of granting collective people benefits, he instead attempted to help them on an individual basis, by easing their ability to buy a house, reforming social security, Medicare, creating medicate, and a number of other domestic programs which for a time improved the quality of life for many lower class Americans, particularly minorities (which ironically did not change their irrational bias regarding republicans.) However it also increased government spending. At the same time president Bush increased across the board tax cuts. This combination of lower taxes and higher spending, an odd perversion of the fiscally conservative maxim of lower taxes and lower spending, achieved what would be the obvious predictable result, but what was lost on the person signing the legislation into law, president bush, was a sizable budget gap. Again he was forced to make a decision between borrowing and taxation.

In this George Bush chose the worst option, borrowing money by issuing bonds. The result of this decision was a growing yearly deficit, and a collectively massive increase of our national debt, and thus our national debt obligations.  But this policy had an even greater consequence, it popularly discredited the notion of fiscal conservatism which was erroneously identified as the Bush policy of borrow and spend by ignorant socialist partisans. While nothing about the Bush administration could be qualified as fiscally conservative, this connection stuck.  President Bush was also a committed free trader, and while as I have noted this policy has benefits, it also carries a significant and fundamental problem. an uneven playing field leads to uneven trading in a free trade environment. By adding Latin American countries to the list, and working with the WTO to continue trade with Asian countries. The trade deficit reached an all time high, and outsourcing precipitated a dramatic loss of employment for thousands of Americans around the nation. More and more populist movements ranging from the socialists to the fascist began to attack outsourcing and the "evil corporations and corrupt politicians" for allowing it. Totally ignoring the lessons of history which tell us that the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was the single most devastating cause of the great depression, they advocate a return to tariffs and buy American provisions.

On January 20, 2009 the 44th American president Barrack Obama was inaugurated. He ran on a campaign laced with conservative appeals to tax cuts and fiscal responsibility, partisan saber rattling about the failures of the republicans and the Bush administration, class warfare appeals to attack the rich with confiscatory taxation, and populist appeals to attack outsourcing and even renegotiate nafta.

Much of this would later be forgotten in the first few months of his administration, in which we called for the biggest spending bill in American history, and the largest projected deficit in American history to combat what he cynically called, "the economy I inherited from president Bush." In spite of the platform on which he ran, Obama has used his political popularity to push what in many cases amounts to a 180 degree turn on his campaign rhetoric. The cap and trade, and healthcare provisions include taxes that will effect the middle class, below the mark he identified as either 25,000, or 20,000 a year, seemingly no action on the issue of trade, and an attitude towards business that can better be described as left wing crony capitalism than anything resembling traditional progressive populism. GE, the parent company of Obama biased media outlets MSNBC, CNN, and others stand to profit extensively on cap and trade, and green energy policies. And backroom meetings with Coal executives mimic the much maligned meetings of a similar nature that occurred under the Bush administration.

Ultimately we can conclude the following from the neo liberal policies. In regards to trade unilateral action towards or away from tariffs will lead to disastrous economic results, we cannot have free trade with countries that lack minimum wage, safety regulations, and collective bargaining by unions. However we can't unilaterally initiate tariffs without creating a trade war. Therefore the obvious remedy is to work with the WTO to impose a union of worker friendly regulated economies, that can forced nations that have no such regulations to adopt them for free trade. This way free trade will be balanced with an equal playing field, and better condition for the working class who suffer above all the consequences of our current trading policy, and would suffer most the result of the most publicized alternative.

In regards to fiscal policy, as I have mentioned we are limited to the borrow and spend model or the tax and spend model. The former being worse than the latter. However as I have implied there is actually a third option that I consider impossible in the current political climate, that is to spend less.

Why might we ask is it impossible to make our government run more cost effectively? After all businesses in the private sector are always finding innovative ways to cut cost and at the same time improve the quality of their goods and services... The problem lies with the inherent difference between the public and private sector. The later works around the profit motive which makes it the incentive to get the most returns for the smallest investment, the former however works on the principle of popularity, how can one create a policy that makes the least amount of people unhappy. This is the source of the dreaded special interest angle of our political process. Pressure groups form to block reforms that would disaffect them even on a temporary short term basis. So it behooves the average politician to pass any meaningful reforms even if they would benefits these same special interests in the long term. While there are rare exceptions thanks to a sadly diminished class of honest far thinking statesmen,  the majority view of our government today is that its better to spend more money, than it is to risk alienating special interest groups by passing the necessary reforms to create a sustainable economy. Rather than making government run better, we simply make it bigger, increasing the cost, while at the same time allowing the quality of its goods and services to diminish.

So in conclusion as our troops fight an unpopular war of attrition on the frontiers of our hegemony, and as our government fights an equally unpopular war on the current recession we have to ask ourselves, have we learned anything from the mistakes we have made? Considering the serious limits to our commitment in war, and our lack of interest in meaningful reform and progress in economic and government matters. I have to conclude that we have not, and while there is still a chance to save our position in the world, it is slipping away every day that the current administration pursue its fiscally irresponsible agenda, and its half hearted publicly demoralized commitment to foreign policy.

Reputed New England Mafia underboss Carmen "The Cheese Man" DiNunzio is poised to plead guilty to federal bribery charges and state extortion and gambling charges under an agreement that will send him to prison for six years, according to his lawyer.

Carmen DiNunzio


"We've assessed both cases and decided this is the best result that we can achieve under the circumstances,'' said Boston attorney Anthony Cardinale, who represents DiNunzio.

The 51-year-old DiNunzio will plead guilty tomorrow afternoon in US District Court in Boston to charges that he tried to bribe an undercover FBI agent posing as a corrupt state official in a bid to secure a $6 million Big Dig contract. He has been under house arrest in his East Boston home since his indictment in the federal case 14 months ago.

As part of his agreement with federal and state officials, DiNunzio will also plead guilty in Essex Superior Court in Salem on July 8 to extortion and illegal gambling charges that were brought against him in December 2006.

DiNunzio was dubbed "The Cheese Man'' because he owns the Fresh Cheese shop on Endicott Street in the North End.

In the federal case, DiNunzio was accused of personally delivering a $10,000 bribe to the undercover agent posing as a corrupt Massachusetts highway inspector in September 2006 in a bid to secure a $6 million contract to provide 300,000 cubic yards of loam, a soil mix, to the Big Dig. He was indicted in May 2008 along with two associates on a charge of conspiracy to commit bribery.

During the undercover sting, the FBI secretly recorded DiNunzio, who met with the undercover agent when it looked like the deal might fall apart.

"Look it, I don't even come out, I come out cause of this guy,'' said DiNunzio, referring to an associate who was wavering on the deal, and assuring the undercover agent that he guaranteed they would go forward with the contract. "I'm the Cheese Man.''

Cetrists / The whigs are back!
« on: June 28, 2009, 10:31:03 pm »
And I'm really thinking of joining... it looks like my fantasy party.

http://modernwhig.org/

Quote
Fiscal responsibility

The Modern Whig philosophy is to empower the states with the resources to handle their unique affairs. The logic is that people in Alabama should not always have to flip the bill for earmarks that occur in New York and vice versa. For example, a senator from Oklahoma is currently using his committee powers to stifle an important transportation project in Virginia. The reality is that the more local one gets, the more in tune with the unique and specific needs of that area. This is why we propose that federal tax dollars be provided to each state in a lump sum every fiscal year based on population. This eliminates the need for most earmarks and pork-barrel spending as the onus will then be on state legislators and governors to allocate funding for issues that they see fit. Of course the federal government will still vote on other special projects and traditionally federal items, but these projects will be more manageable to monitor. In addition, the allocations to the states also provides a better opportunity to balance the federal budget while also forcing local voters to pay more attention to state elected officials.

National security

Many of our members have served in Iraq and Afghanistan and have unique and practical qualifications to express the Modern Whig viewpoint. While the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) has been signed between the US and Iraq, experience dictates that the situation on the ground, as well as regional and political issues, will change by the 2011 pullout date. This is why we are sticking with our initial plan as it also helps illustrate our realistic view of the region. We propose pulling our forces out of Iraq except for a relatively small base in the Kurdish area of the country. Our troops will tell you that unlike the rest of Iraq, the Kurds are prone to democracy and in fact do treat American forces as liberators. To this end, the Kurds deserve our continued protection and in turn, we maintain a base to act upon any contingencies emanating from within Iraq, Syria or Iran. Moreover, the oil industry from Kirkuk can take care of the bills. Any future Status of Forces Agreements also should be approved by the US Senate like any other treaty. We then can put real effort and resources into fighting the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Finally, we would continue dialogue and contact with the Pakistani government in hopes that they would finally end this defacto terrorist safe-haven in their country, but in the end, if they fail to act then we will.

Environmental Protection and National Security

Why did we lump the environment with national security? Because eliminating our dependency on foreign oil is a national security issue as it takes away a significant amount of cards from our enemies. For example, cartels are illegal in the US but at the same time, we rely on the OPEC cartel for our oil. Expedited funding and research into viable green technology is part of the answer. It also is a major developing industry where we can make lots of money and create tons of jobs. At the same time, we represent a new generation of "Trustbuster." At the turn of the 20th Century, Teddy Roosevelt broke up the monopolies that stifled small business and economic growth. Now is the time to bust up the oil companies. These companies are designed, as they should be, to make money for their shareholders. We support this. The Modern Whig Party understands that corporations would actually be violating the rules if they strayed from their fiduciary duties toward their shareholders. However, an oil company has no business owning another energy resource such as coal. Believe it or not, clean coal technology exists and if permitted to grow, West Virginia and Southeast Ohio will become the engine of the world. In addition, we support a focus on natural gas, wind and solar power as outlined and paid for in the Picken's Plan.

Immigration

The Modern Whig Party understands the dual responsibility of securing our borders while also dealing realistically with those illegal immigrants already in the country. Many of our members are with the National Guard and have indicated a willingness to operate on our borders so long as a clearly defined mission is developed.

If somebody is in this country illegally, then he or she should be deported if caught. However, it is not realistic in terms of manpower and resources to attempt to hunt illegal immigrants down. We propose the following: Offer illegal immigrants the opportunity for citizenship if they join the military and serve out their initial contractual term honorably. This system already is in use for green card holders and has proven to be an absolute success. In fact, much of this proposal is based off of the highly applauded current framework. The illegal immigrants will not be entitled to jobs that require security clearances, but will be eligible for the GI Bill, Tricare and all other benefits afforded to US service members who serve honorably. This program also will include a background check and English-language classes if necessary. In this manner, any illegal immigrant ranging in age from 18 to 42 will receive job skills and educational benefits while they earn their citizenship in defense of our country. Of course this military path to citizenship would not apply to elderly or disabled illegal immigrants, but it does offer an opportunity to tens of thousands of illegal immigrants.

In respect to the orderly deportation of other illegal immigrants, we propose the following: A creation of ad-hoc immigration courts. Essentially, highly regarded immigration lawyers in varying parts of the country will be nominated and selected to serve as immigration judges. When a suspected illegal immigrant is caught, an ad-hoc court can quickly be convened in order to ensure fair proceedings. In this manner, we can significantly impact the current problem of immigration court backlog while at the same time empower local communities such as Prince William County in Virginia that wish to enforce immigration laws.

China, Foreign Aid and the WTO

Many defective products are manufactured in China, from contaminated pet food and toothpaste to dangerous toys to lead-filled dental crowns. Yet as consumers, we look the other way just to keep costs down, even though these products are made in an authoritarian, oftentimes menacing nation that opposes us at virtually every opportunity.

The Modern Whig Party proposes offering tiered subsidies and tax breaks to U.S. corporations who remove their manufacturing operations from China. The WTO and international treaty justification is based on well-established health and welfare exemptions of rules that normally forbid this type of government intervention. We can then steer our corporations to creating jobs in other places such as the West Bank, Iraq and Latin America. We can then cut direct foreign aid to some of these nations as that system is notorious for corruption anyway. Instead, the people in these poverty-stricken nations will have stable jobs. In the case of Latin America, steering manufacturing jobs out of China and into our hemisphere also may help curb the tide of immigration. Since this is a tiered system, we also suggest that the highest tier of tax breaks and subsidies go to manufacturing jobsin the US.

Church/State Separation

Don't mess with Christmas. While our members range from deeply religious to completely secular, we are realistic. We follow the rule that the government must not fund religious activities. However, the business of forcing Christmas trees and reindeer ornaments off of city hall property is ridiculous. At the same time, government cannot favor one religion over others. So long as all other religions have equal access to display their holiday symbols, we see no problems.

Gay Rights

Each state can determine the extended rights of homosexuals based on their own local values. We do, however, support classifying as a federal hate crime attacks on people based on their perceived sexual orientation. In essence, the sexual orientation of the guy down the street has no bearing on anybody else's life.

Health Care

The Modern Whig Party is continuing to work with experts in the field to develop a realistic, common-sense proposal for this issue. However, there are a few individual health care items that we are prepared to propose. Recognizing that **** is sometimes prescribed to men for other medical reasons such as diabetes and covered by many health plans regardless of the reason, we find it unacceptable that birth control is typically not covered for women. Birth control medication has many other benefits to women besides its primary function. We believe that health insurance companies should include birth control as a regularly covered item and stop forcing millions of women to pay out of pocket

Second Amendment
We support the Second Amendment right to bear arms. Our general viewpoint is that states can regulate firearms to whatever their local values dictate, but these regulations must be reasonable and can't be too costly or otherwise prohibitive to a point where it would violate the constitutional right.

Abortion

Our members are split on this subject just like the rest of the country. But the bottom line is that this one particular issue should not be the sole basis for which political party people affiliate with. For example, many "pro-choice" voters find themselves agreeing with many traditionally GOP issues while many of those opposed to abortion rights find themselves agreeing with many Democratic issues. Despite this fact, voters too often are pushed to choose one party or the other due to the abortion issue alone. It is time to end the trend of having this one issue become a deal breaker. Each state can determine its course of action like any other public health issue that revolves around medical procedures. The federal government should not get involved or regulate such items as the less involvement by the government in our private lives the better.

In addition, we encourage states to consider additional funding for greater access to adoption for people wishing not to keep a child and for qualified couples or individuals wishing to become parents of adopted children. Responsible safe-haven laws also give people an additional option beyond abortion. We support all policies giving couples additional options beyond abortion, making this practice even more rare.

Affirmative Action

Race-based affirmative action should be eliminated and replaced with an economic criteria for education benefits.

Science and Technology

Exploration is in our blood. Whether it is the brain, the oceans, the wilderness or space, people have always been fascinated by the unknown. Perhaps more importantly, science has a way of bringing people together in a manner that no politician could ever dream. Science also has a way of transforming the economy. The Modern Whig Party supports the privatization of space and continued exploration of our oceans. Taking away the government monopoly and allowing capitalism into the exploration business will exponentially expand our technology base and further the growth of mankind.

Seriously, what's not to love about this?

Right wing / The treachery of Nuri al-Maliki
« on: June 28, 2009, 09:45:23 am »
So I was watching the news and they mentioned the prime minister of Iraq Nuri al-Maliki who only exists because of our support was calling the withdrawal of American troops V day for Iraq. My immediate response was, "great" the Iraqis are declaring victory against our mutual enemies the insurgents who continue to wage their war on the Iraqi people.

It was only after reading him did I realize he said "It is a great victory for Iraqis that we are taking the first step toward ending the foreign presence in Iraq," I don't know when our own allies decided it was good politics to leach off us for aid, and military support while at the same time using us as a scapegoat to ride the wave of anti American disinformation spouted by the terrorists who continue to make life unbearable for millions of innocent Muslims world wide. But that drew a level of disgust from me that I still haven't recovered from. Its obvious what this is, an attempt to win over the anti Americans in the parliament by seeming to be against us troops, while he at the same time works hand in hand with them, and only lives because of them, but its no excuse. Political pragmatism at the expense of our image around the world is not something we should tolerate.

Unless he apologizes for this insult and tells his people how much we have sacrificed for their sake, (which Obama should demand) I at this moment renounce all my previous commitments to Iraq with the exception of Kurdistan.  Which I understand is demonstrably pro American. In my opinion we should let the lunatic prime minister of Iraq hang himself by giving him exactly what he claims he wants, no support. We should move all remaining forces out of Iraq, cut off all aid and support, and announce that we won't be helping people who insult us behind our backs while leeching off of us for sustenance. I do think we should keep some troops in Kurdistan and in minority communities to prevent them from being targeted, as for the rest of the country, let them eat cake.

When their country is in flames, and they are on their knees begging for our help, we should remind them that they had asked for it.

The torture of a 17-year-old in Iran

http://www.salon.com/news/primary_sources/2009/06/24/iran_photos/

Quote
"All of a sudden agents in black uniforms and helmets carrying batons broke the door and entered. We tried to hide behind the big trash bin at the end of the parking but one of them saw us, whistled and informed the rest of them who were just leaving the parking. It was just baton strikes all over my body after that, and we were transferred to the minus 4 level of Ministry of Intelligence building. There were a lot of riot police in black uniforms like those on the streets there. They were mostly non-Farsi speakers, and those who spoke Farsi kept telling us they could kill us right away and no one would ever know, they were also insulting us with very bad words."

"One of them asked me if Mr. Khatami would come save us, while they were breaking my fingers and cutting the finger webs. Although I swore a thousand times that I had not voted and had never participated in any demonstration, they didn't care and just kept beating me hard. I fainted once or twice but there were some of us who fainted every time their bones were broken, and as soon as they gained their consciousness, the riot police started beating them again. I was trying to contract my muscles to avoid further bone fracture."

"This continued till around 1 p.m., when they took us to another place, where security guards were in charge. We were then interrogated by the militia. Again, they kept beating me although I told them that I have never participated in any demonstration. In general, they were less harsh than the previous ones. In the evening, we were transferred to a police station where normal police with green uniform hung us by our hands (you can see the signs of the string around my wrists on the pictures), they hung some of us upside down and started beating us again."

 "Around 2 AM, they took us to a police hospital where they just stitched the web of my fingers that were still bleeding and bandaged my head without any stitches. They released us in a highway, I think they knew we did nothing; otherwise they would not release us. I am surprised how I tolerated all the tortures and survived. I didn't see anyone dying there; a lot of people just lost their consciousness, but I guess the baton strikes were so harsh that brain injury or internal bleeding was inevitable. I can never forget the scenes I saw there."

The Mud pile / Culturally insensitive
« on: June 28, 2009, 09:41:55 am »
So this morning I asked my father why there is always mounds of rotting garbage in the streets of Chelsea, He responded, according to the Latino center, littering is an expression of affluence and he is intolerant for having the audacity to suggest people throw trash into trash barrels and not into the street where our city spends thousands of dollars to remove it and could never keep up if they tried.

He also pointed out that in order for cops to take action against the litterers, they would have to ask for their name, and social security number, which they are forbidden to ask because Chelsea is a sanctuary city and it would make the people feel "uncomfortable."

So I ask myself, do any of the pro illegal immigration people realize places like Chelsea even exist? Do any of you understand the extent to which people like my family and our city are held hostage by the doctrine of multiculturalism?

Because according to the gurus of multiculturalism in my city, I'm a bigot for being against littering.

Right wing / Obama lied, Iranians died!
« on: June 27, 2009, 07:15:44 pm »
I'm so sick of this bastard, stupid brain-dead kids on drugs elected! The man is the most inexperienced unqualified corrupt neophyte every to pollute the white house with his presence. And his handling of what I termed "the Iranian opportunity" was a total unmitigated disaster!

We can't negotiate with the current Iranian regime. They want nukes, they want to destroy Israel, they want to control the middle east, we would have to concede all of that to get anywhere with them. Obama's fed his whole unthinking mindless zombie like base this line that we can negotiate with the Mullahs. Yet no one knows a god dam thing about the Mullahs! No one except those of us apposed to appeasement!

These same Mullahs who are as we speak torturing protesters to death in secret prisons! Yes Obama's beloved terrorist friends are torturing people. And what does he do? He meekly calls for moderation. Its as pathetic a performance as the popes call for clemency when the flagellants were slaughtering Jews during the black death. Except the pope didn't have the most powerful military in the world, Obama does!

There can be absolutely no doubt about it, Obama isn't a liberal and neither are his supporters. he's a blood sucking cold hearted reptile, and his supporters are mindless zombies! A true liberal like Woodrow Wilson the man who laid down the 14 points for world peace and brought us into WW1 to "make the world safe for democracy" would look on in disgust if he saw his beloved party supporting the policies of the Jacksonites!

When the new left became the old right I don't know, what I do know is the DNC have more in common with David Duke an outspoken critic of the war on terror, (and infamous anti-Semite) than they do with Franklin Delano Roosevelt!

So enjoy your bad peace, the bad peace much worse than war. I want you to hear the screams coming from those secret prison, I want the cries of agony to drive you bastards insane! Because you are just as responsible for what has happened as the man you voted for, because you voted for him! If john McCain was president today, Iran would be on the path to liberty, not even more tightly held by the Islamo-fascist murderers Obama loves so much.

Essays / White mans relief.

White mans relief.

by Giuliano Taverna

In this new era of cultural tolerance we in the western world feel obligated to accommodate the cultural sensibilities of foreigners.  This is a great improvement over the tragic history of western imperialism and the imposition of Christianity and free trade by such empires as Great Brittan. However to what extent can we tolerate disgusting acts of barbarism under the mantel of cultural tolerance?

A lot of criticism of the war on terror has been focused on the desire by some people to impose western traditions on the local populous. What does this mean? I agree that attempting to use they war to facilitate religious conversion to Christianity is an extremist position that is indefensible and held by a few people with no influence on policy.  But what about things that aren’t objectively bad? Things like responsive democratically elected government, human rights, and civil liberties?

Again many people would say its not our business, that if the people of Iraq want to live under Saddam we had no right to depose him... I suppose these people believe Saddam was an elected head of state in a democracy, and believe the people of Iraq liked living under a sadomasochistic serial killer.

I however have a question for these people. If we recognize the right of states with a specific culture to do whatever they want. Then shouldn’t we have not apposed the confederacy in the civil war? The south has its own unique culture and it was part of their culture to brutally oppress and exploit Africans, just like its part of the culture in say Afghanistan for women to be brutally oppressed and exploited, what’s wrong with that? I mean we have to be culturally tolerant don’t we?

Lets end this paternalistic “white mans burden” attitude and let the south secede and reinstate slavery if they so chose. lets allow Texas to make being gay a capital offense. Lets allow Kansas to burn non Christians at the stake. Lets even allow Hawaii to throw virgins into their volcano. What right do we as liberal democratic republican capitalist westerners, have to impose our views on others? Lets replace white mans burden with white mans relief and let anyone do whatever they want, to who ever they want, anywhere they want!
