Commitments and Obligations

         
     Conservatives have a legitimate gripe about America’s excessive “commitments and obligations” to “unfunded liabilities” but their focus on Medicare and social security misses the larger point: our disastrous commitment to the current national lifestyle, in particular suburban sprawl and everything it entails.
     This point came across vividly in a video recently released by the usually level-headed David McAlvaney titled “The Fuse Is Lit Part 3 – an American Reckoning.” In it, the smooth and articulate McAlvaney is shown behind the wheel of his SUV tooling across the picturesque small town in Colorado where he lives inveighing against the public that elects politicians who deliver the voters cash benefits. This dynamic is surely deadly, and implies Democracy’s tragic self-limiting nature. But McAlvaney suggests if we could come to grips with the fiscal quandary of “entitlement” spending, American life would just rock on. 
     This is plainly not so, but it also reveals the tragic shortsightedness of even thoughtful conservatives – and there are some out there, indeed we need them, indeed one of the political tragedies of recent American history is the surrender of conservatism to religious hysterics, professional ignoramuses, military chauvinists, and flat-earthers. A true conservative would recognize the land development pattern of the millennial USA as a consequence of tragic collective choices, a living arrangement with no future, a trap every bit as lethal as Medicare and social security.
     The catch is, we’re not going to unbuild suburbia and all its accessories. There’s no way to legislate it away. We’re stuck with it. The suburban entitlement will fail even more dramatically than the social entitlements that conservatives grouse about because there’s no way to “print” cheap oil or well-paid livelihoods the way you can monetize public debt to support social spending. You can “print” mortgages, of course, for people with little chance of paying them down, but that only leads to the financial hostage racket called too-big-to-fail banking, and we know where that’s gotten us.
      Around the Internet, in the vale of financial podcasting, you can hear voices cheerleading the “return” of the house-building industry. Is it a good thing that real estate speculators are banging up yet more housing subdivisions in the hills around San Diego? I can tell you why they are doing it: because that is the only way they know how to build anything in California. They’re stuck in the habits and practices of the 20th century, building more car dependent stuff for a society that is already dying a slow death from living that way.
     In the collapse of all these rackets, bad habits, and brain-dead behaviors that is sure to come, historians will have a hard time sorting out what exactly brought down the empire. The big element that will not be so visible is the poverty of imagination that set the tone for it – especially among public figures and spokespeople who should have seen and articulated these relationships, and extra-especially among self-proclaimed conservatives.
     This happens to be the day when the articulator-in-chief gets his official new lease in office. Genial figure that he is, I don’t think President Obama has a clue where all this is heading. I suppose he’ll argue for stricter gun laws today, but that horse is already so far out of the barn it’s in the next county. We don’t seem to realize that America is now fully armed. Additional firearms are just superfluous at this point. And to some degree the people armed themselves in direct consequence as their government tinkered with due process, and sent drone aircraft into the American skies, and commenced computer hacking operations over every business transaction in the system, and voided the rule-of-law against criminal uber-bankers who creamed off the nation’s wealth while holding the economy hostage. Since the armed public is not ready to mount an insurrection against this impudence, the dangerous tension is expressed in morbid and tragic episodes of mass shootings by maniacs against the innocent. What I want to know: where is the lone swindled rancher who waits to bushwhack Jon Corzine of MF Global in the parking lots of Easthampton, since the law won’t touch him?
     I suppose we’ll hear about immigration reform today. It will surely be some cockamamie proposal to legitimize the “undocumented” by shanghaiing them into the military (think: mercenaries), and otherwise keeping the welcome mat down for more newcomers waiting politely at the front door. This is insane, of course. The USA needs to reduce its population consistent with the tremendous economic contraction underway world-wide. There are too many people for the world to support and shifting them into this country from regions more rapidly affected by contraction is just dumb — but we have our cultural myths to defend… and voting blocs to appease.
     It seems obvious to me that in the, say, four years ahead (one presidential term), we will not come to grips with any of the forces of reality bearing down on us. We will lose control of the money system; we’ll go broke trying to keep up our oil supplies; the American public will get more economically desperate and angry; and pretty soon the practical matters of daily life will become rather harsh. And at that point faith in the system finally evaporates and people fight over the table scraps of a failed polity.
     Many of us around the country are hoping for a better outcome in the successful downscaling and re-localizing of American life, but those questions are just not in the arena. Hence, the arena itself will probably have to topple and crash before life is reorganized outside of where it used to stand.

    “legitimize the “undocumented” by shanghaiing them into the military (think: mercenaries),”

    In ancient times this seems to be a recurring pattern of societies on their last legs. This is a canary in a coal mind if it happens. Not that we need one.

    Yes, with regards to the maniacs—why is it always kindergartners or theatre-goers or people standing around in a parking lot??!! Aren’t there more deserving targets??!!
    But as our military and political powers demonstrate, life is cheap, and even the youngest of innocents cannot escape the American killing machine. So why should some whacko with a gun?

    One of your best posts in a while, Jim, and I particularly like your mature comments on the “undocumented” problem. As I explain it to people, the Inn is full. We simply cannot house or sustain any more people in a country with such a downward spiraling future.

  7. k-dog January 21, 2013 at 9:51 am #

    We will lose control of the money system; we’ll go broke trying to keep up our oil supplies; the American public will get more economically desperate and angry; and pretty soon the practical matters of daily life will become rather harsh.

    Which will cause many to whisper it would be all good if only he could have a third term.

  8. Steve knox January 21, 2013 at 9:56 am #

    Jim, as always you’ve hit the nail on the head. I am appalled at the people in high places who are convinced that the “system” is still sound, and just needs a little tweeking to get it back to normal. Our inability or unwillingness to see the big picture, and see the limits that are all around does not bode well. As we enter a crisis mode, the first thing we will lose is rational thinking, and let’s be candid, we are in a crisis.

  9. Collapse Watch January 21, 2013 at 9:56 am #

    This is plainly not so, but it also reveals the tragic shortsightedness of even thoughtful conservatives

    Like Bob Dylan? Per the following commercial, he sure looks like a Conservative, but looks can be deceiving. In the least, he’s surely a hypocrite. But, aren’t we all? Of course, some are more hypocritical than others, and Dylan ranks high on that scale, especially after doing this commercial. Here’s spitting at you, Bob.

    Many of us around the country are hoping for a better outcome in the successful downscaling and re-localizing of American life, but those questions are just not in the arena. Hence, the arena itself will probably have to topple and crash before life is reorganized outside of where it used to stand.

    True enough JHK and still, some of us around the country are pushing on through anyway knowing what is likely coming to pass. I’ve been building alt trans bikes for a number of years for folks and it ebbs and flows. When Katrina hit and gas went close to $5@gal it didn’t take long for people to become keenly interested. What’s happening now, even though fuel prices have leveled off, folks seem to be looking for any way to ease the strain on their wallets.

    Last week, I gave my lecture on economic schools of thought about the environment. One of those schools was ecological economics, which, as I tell my students, holds the scientifically sound but economically fringe idea that everything rests on the natural environment. Without the environment, there is no society and without society, there is no economy. It also thinks that the current system is not sustainable and should be replaced, not reformed. As my first example of an ecological economist, I used you as someone they would see later on during the semester. Your essay today exemplified that view, as there are three ways to replace the existing economic and social system, actively tear it down (not likely to happen), build an alternative and hope people come (Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms is trying this), or wait for it to collapse on its own and hope that the replacement develops organically. That’s exactly what you’ve been pointing towards and how you conclude today’s offering.
    I’ve been neglecting collapse lately at Crazy Eddie’s Motie News. Instead, I’ve been writing at least a bit about how Detroit is moving to a more sustainable future by getting light rail built down Woodward Avenue. The people along the main street of the Motor City are looking forward to a transportation system that isn’t built around cars. Fancy that. I’ve also found some good renewable energy news and was led by the shiny object of the North American International Auto Show from trapeze artists to James Bond to the Golden Globes, which tied into the theme of last week’s post. As Barry Commoner would say, everything is connected to everything else.
    I also blogged about today’s Inauguration. Consistent with my blogs theme of sustainability with a science fiction slant, the entry is about NASA’s role in the parade and other celebrations. The space agency is worried about contraction, but they’re still looking forward to more good times under Obama. I also blogged about the flu, finished my retrospective of 2012’s extreme weather with Hurricane Sandy, noted that one doomsday scenario, a collision with the asteroid Apophis, has been postponed, and discussed comment trolls. You know who you are here.
    My wife and I are off to watch the Inauguration with some fellow Daily Kos members. I’ll imagine the light rail passing in front of our restaurant on Woodward while doing so.
    Happy Motoring–for now–from Detroit!

    Jim,
    That’s why anyone with half a clue is stocking up on precious metals right now – and I mean lead and brass. Come to think of it – Homeland Security has been doing the same for the last two years.
    This assclown in office is the most dangerous person to have held it in our nation’s history.

    Well, like all of us, I don’t wish anyone bad…but where are all those folks who have learned all that high-tech stuff we see in Mission Impossible or elsewhere and, now having been screwed by their own government–who hasn’t been?–go off and perform some mission to make an “impression”? You know, like retrieve every single internal email between Goldman Sachs and their GS counterparts in the Obama administration. Or suddenly transfer and distribute all of GS’s cash into each and every checking account in the U.S. Or reveal everything about the offshore banking accounts, or a list of the drug money and its sources laundered by the TBTF banks.
    We have the strange but not persuasive “Anonymous” and that’s about it. Makes you wonder if that high-tech stuff really is only in the movies.

    JHK has surprised me with the subject matter today , i assumed he would draw attention to the hostage situation at the gas plant and the impossibility of having perfect security for energy supplies in certain areas of the world.

  15. John D. Wheeler January 21, 2013 at 10:04 am #

    The sad part is, were we to tackle the task of rebuilding suburbia into something sustainable, that would provide a tremendous number of jobs now AND vast savings later. What is truly tragic is that candidate Hillary Clinton in 2008 actually proposed one step along that path, making all government buildings as energy efficient as possible.

    Denial is the standard American mantra.
    Why does the state want our guns?
    Why does TSA violate our Constitutional rights everyday?
    Why do the elite get a pass on every issue?
    Where is the rule of law?
    Why does Alex Jones seem more and more like a legitimate commentator on our society? Yeah a lot of what he says is conspiracy theory, but a lot of it isn’t that far off from what you hear here or on Zerohedge or on Drudge,
    Why do we see the continual degradation of the American Middle Class?
    Add in Peak OIl and our total lack of preparedness for it!
    All I see it a country slowing disintegrating, losing its way, losing it’s core principles. We slide into corruption,

    I like the points about missing the bigger picture/targets.
    The fact we know about all these mini-massacres is a product of our mass media’s attempts to push forth their political agenda. One has to be sympathetic for the president when reporters asked him where were you when all these other shootings happened. What would you have said? The truth? “I can’t be concerned with anything that doesn’t have a direct affect on my staying in office.” He’s no better than boehner. They are hand in hand with the ever contracting powerful elite. They need to keep people convinced they are important and needed because they’re smarter and write the checks. So when the press gives a horn to this and that whiner…the doctors write the prescription. Definitely a modern society problem that existed way before obama and will continue to exisr in various formulas into the future.
    Cfn is about how we create our own neurosis and how people that should be level, should know better, are overtaken by their own grandiosity…the overall propulsion of events, trends and circumstances beyond their control.
    So everyone is going to get whatever is coming to them in regards to life choices despite these other weird things going on with weather and point n click death culture.

  21. MisterbadExample January 21, 2013 at 10:14 am #

    Jim–your Monday blog is the first thing I read in the morning. That said– you state “Genial figure that he is, I don’t think President Obama has a clue where all this is heading.” I’m growing increasingly uncomfortable with that view. Mr. Obama knows exactly where this is heading and is giving lip service to busted bromides like ‘clean coal’ and ‘100 years of natural gas’ so that all those gun owners don’t notice the change in the air around them.
    As someone watching the protests around the XL pipeline unfold, it seems clear to me that the president is trying to kick the can down the road as long as possible by pretending that we can drill and frack our way out of this. I’m of an age to remember 1973, when in the darkness (Daylight savings time re-imposed in late October as a result of the oil embargo)hundreds of cars waited in line for a few gallons of gas at the one local station that had some. This isn’t the knowledge of some octogenarian–plenty of commentators must remember the 70’s and the economic havoc wrought by suddenly-expensive energy. Am I the only one with a sense of deja vu? And is Obama’s only goal to keep a lid on things for as long as possible?

    What JHK, perhaps, make me most think about is that, let’s say the whole Tesla-energy-from-the-universe concepts actually pans out. And everyone gets to run around forever in their electric cars…until the last rubber tree gives out and the last iron ore is mined. The whole suburban construct is still a landscape with no future. Happy Motoring was a time and place that is over and done–even if you can keep on motoring.
    I lived for the longest time in the San Francisco Bay Area and lived near Berkeley. You know, Berkeley and Oakland, too, despite its reputation, have wonderful old residential neighborhoods. And bookstores and movie theatres and you can have a very pleasant life there. The only thing is, even there, every time you need to go somewhere you have to drive through ugliness, along ugly freeways or once nice boulevards lined with car repairs places and gas stations. And, of course, you have to drive.
    To go to the local hill parks or go to the mountains you have to drive. To go to the ocean you have to drive. And 80% of what you pass along the way is ugly and awful. So you have to create a sort of memory suppression where the 4 hours walking in the hills were bracketed by 2 hours in the car. To survive you have to have a comfortable car, car stereo and zone out and pretend the little islands of beauty you are visiting are worth all the time maintaining your car, all the ‘lagoons’ of parking lots in shopping centers, all the driving through ugliness.
    Or ignoring that one set of family friends is 35 miles away to the east and across a bridge in Marin, another is 20 miles away to the east in Walnut Creek, another is 60 miles away in San Jose with 8-10 lanes of traffic and one mega-mall after another as your sight-seeing along the way and it’s a pain in the neck to even manage to see each other on a regular basis.
    Even with free energy and even in a pleasant place like the Oakland-Berkeley East Bay it still hardly qualifies as a place with a future. Because along with all the ugliness between those islands of beauty are the islands of poverty and anger so to get anywhere you have to drive by or through that sadness and black it out, knowing that if things have been bad there until now, what’s it gonna be like in the years to come.

    Longtime reader but never posted before… I stumbled across a band this weekend that blew my mind.
    They are called Arcade Fire, and listening to their album “Suburbs” reminded me of everything written here. In a way, it’s encouraging… People are waking up not just by reading insights here and other places on the Interwebs, but even by the alternative culture and music we are starting to listen to.
    “Suburbs” is one of the most devastatingly poignant albums I have ever heard, and the messages fit well with what Kunstler writes here.
    This sent shivers up my spine…
    “So can you understand?
    Why I want a daughter while I’m still young
    I wanna hold her hand
    And show her some beauty
    Before all this damage is done”
    Or the song “Sprawl II”…
    “Living in the sprawl, dead shopping malls rise
    Like mountains beyond mountains
    And there’s no end in sight
    I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights”
    The entire album is a realization and recognition that we’re at the end game. Yes, it’s dark and deep, but in a strange way it’s encouraging.
    When the collective rantings of us conspiracy nuts start spilling over into popular culture, I count that as progress.

    What “professional ignoramuses”?
    When’s the last time you saw someone on TV or in the press say they simply didn’t know, didn’t have the answers, and were looking for them?
    Of course people in the real world talk like this, but never in the media. Any media. It’s an unwritten rule.
    Wouldn’t it be great to have politicians come out and say they simply don’t understand? But that they’re still ready to take constructive steps one way or another.
    So there is your proof of our inadequacy. Public figures lack the imagination to sense how much trouble we are in.

    I never thought I would live so long as to read someone like JHK admit that we need no more immigration. Dare we hope that he might yet come out in support of restoring American soveriegnty. As in, the way I think of it, one nation, one citizenship, one soveriegnty. No more dual citizenships and no more hyphenated Americans.
    I think proposing a moratorium on immigration of a minimun of 5 years, ten would be better, would be the one issue which might gain the attention and support of idependents, moderate (former) Republicans and responsible (former) Democrats. I think it is the one issue which would give a new party enough leverage to force intransigent interest groups to negotiate.
    For example: Israel and AOPAC, you want continuing support for your defense, then give up the fantasy of relocating the entire Palestinian people to the USA.
    Hispanic Caucus, you want a path to citizenship for your young people, than stop the opposition to progressive farm legislation. We are no longer willing to have the poisoned products of agribiz and Big Food Processing shoved down our throats for the sake of an immigrant jobs program.

    For me, the most poignant, damning, and paradoxical thing about today is the coincidental juxtaposition of the coronation of Obama and the Martin Luther King Jr. birthday celebration. If there is anything that more aptly pictures what the US once was and what we have allowed ourselves to become, this is it.

    Say or think what you will about Dr. King, but in his day he was a force that stood four square against the tide of his times and said, along with the tens of thousands who followed him wherever he went) “business as usual cannot, must not, and will not continue”.

    Today, to the adulation of tens of thousands, the US will hold the coronation of a well-trained, politically correct, Mr Kool Joey, President Barack Obama, whose mantra (along with all the rest of the political figures in the US) seems to be, “well, whatever!”.

    This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, whose most outstanding and distinguishing characteristic while in office was his steadfast refusal to be trapped between the false paradigm of “either/or” and demanded more creative alternatives from his counselors than “the lesser of two evils” which has and continues to occupy the energies of all the politicians of the land to this day.

    I know that JHK and most of the commentators on this blog feel differently, but for me the proximate cause of the demise of the US was and remains first and foremost a death of the imagination as pictured in the assassinations of the 60’s and the installation of this latest (in a long line that goes back unbroken for the past 50 years!) well-trained jack-ass of a president. How sad!

    ” Many of us around the country are hoping for a better outcome in the successful downscaling and re-localizing of American life, but those questions are just not in the arena. Hence, the arena itself will probably have to topple and crash before life is reorganized outside of where it used to stand.”
    -JHK
    I also hold that hope, but in a small and quiet way that people do when they see a particular hope as an unlikely one.
    I’ve been in the “Hell” bid’nez for quite some time now. That would be the abandonment of hope, most especially the false ones. (Example: Obama the Savior, ca.2008. That was an easy one; I checked his voting record and saw where his loyalties lay.)
    Duh Pee-pull have been so indoctrinated and have sat on the cushy couch of ignorance and denial for so long that they no longer have even a half-assed clue as to what’s going on. This points directly to the forbidden plateau of: ain’t nobody gonna lift a finger (other than to power up the entertainment center) until everything falls down around their ears. Bringing us to the pleasant realms of Chaos or Totalitarianism; name your poison.

    There is a place where we can all come together–be together, but what a process it is to get it cleared out and stretched out. It all starts with opening the doors…
    True Appreciation
    by Jeff Wolverton
    Some people keep all but their own family
    outside their hearts.
    Many will let others in,
    but only a few invite
    people into their hearts,
    and even fewer in number are the lovers of God
    who take others into their hearts
    and never ask permission to do so.
    Rarest of all are the saints and mystics,
    who already have everyone
    in their hearts.
    That is why, when you meet them,
    you feel they already know you
    as you’ve always
    known yourself.

    Excellent piece of work this week!
    “one of the political tragedies of recent American history is the surrender of conservatism to religious hysterics, professional ignoramuses, military chauvinists, and flat-earthers.” -jhk-
    Not to put to fine a point on it, but those folks aren’t at all “conservative,” as the term should be properly defined. The are, instead, members of voting blocks, to be corralled like jackasses at election time – and otherwise ignored.
    “I suppose we’ll hear about immigration reform today. It will surely be some cockamamie proposal to legitimize the “undocumented” by shanghaiing them into the military (think: mercenaries), and otherwise keeping the welcome mat down for more newcomers waiting politely at the front door. This is insane, of course. The USA needs to reduce its population consistent with the tremendous economic contraction underway world-wide. There are too many people for the world to support and shifting them into this country from regions more rapidly affected by contraction is just dumb*…” -jhk-
    Rarely do I want to improve your excellent word choice, but here I would suggest
    “*screaming idiotic DEATHLY dumb!”
    And here, JHK, we should blame “liberals” far more than conservatives. Most of the arguments in favor of high immigration levels are of the GROW, GROW conservative variety – that economic growth in the US will never ever stop.
    “Liberals” should be about protecting the environment, or protecting the economic prospects of Native Born Black Americans from third world competition, or something, anything – to stop the US population growth before it’s too late.
    But, sadly, that side of the political spectrum has sold out to pro-immigrant racism, or to no-longer-relevant moral platitudes of one sort on another.
    There are excellent non-profits working hard to reduce immigration to lower levels.
    NumbersUSA seems to be the best, in that is the largest, is rated in the top for funds management, and it even has the begrudging blessing of the SPLC for its even handed approach.

This time he is selling our magic beans (tar sand oil) for a steer. A Conservative icon from the not too distant past former Alberta Premier Lougheed suggested that a refinery with all it jobs be built in Alberta. The finished product is worth more and less problematic than shipping bitumen. In stead a mad rush is on to figure out the quickest way to ship the most bitumen out now for a pittance in royalties (environmental concerns be damned) to the potential successor to the present empire.

    Bullshit. It is not THE problem. It is a symptom of THE problem and it leads to yet other symptoms, but it is not the root.
    The root is the answer to the question, why are there too many people for the world to support? You could eliminate 95% of the world’s population, and sure, you may mitigate some symptoms in the short-term, but in the long-term, since you haven’t plucked the roots, you will be facing the same predicament.

    On immigration, I think Mr. Kunstler is late to the party, so to speak. I think “the zeitgeist”, if by that you mean non-ideological Americans who live outside of lefty enclaves, already figured out long ago that high immigration rates were pushing up housing, utility and transportation costs to levels where full time employed Americans could no longer afford to live with a modicum of decency and comfort in their own country. Our upper classes no longer make useful products; they collect rents, so they pushed for high legal and illegal immigration rates to keep their rents coming in.

    Conservatives engage in various forms of conspiracy theory always wanting to place the blame elsewhere: the communists, the ecologist tree huggers, the Blacks, the immigrants, the liberals, the gay agenda, the Mexicans, the radical Islamists, etc.
    Conservatives are very prone to conspiracy theories.
    For example, conservatives are not worried about climate change: that’s an Al Gore conspiracy. Conservatives are not concerned about peak oil: Biotic oil formation is a conspiracy. According to conservatives, oil is the product not of ancient microorganisms, but of a chemical reaction deep beneath the earth’s crust. So no matter what the JHK and CFN claim, we’ll never run out of oil–which means peak oil is a conspiracy of the oil companies to massively rip us off at the pump.
    A little more about the abiotic oil theory conservatives embrace: Cold War Russian scientists looking for homegrown energy sources first came up with the idea of “abiotic oil.” (Abiotic: not from living organisms.) The theory was refined by a conservative, former Swift Boater Jerome Corsi, also the author of The Obama Nation. Corsi’s 2005 Black Cold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil posits that crude oil is an UNLIMITED resource.
    So where is the oil, then? Like all the “drill baby drill” conservatives, Corsi says we need to look “where we have never looked–even deeper in the world’s seas.” Translation: offshore drilling.
    Giora Proskurowski, a researcher at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, discovered small amounts of hydrocarbons forming through an abiotic process deep in the Atlantic. The conservative conspiracy theory abiotic oil believers have seized on his findings, even though Proskurowski says sorry – talk of bottomless, Saudi-free oil is “a pipe dream.”
    It’s not just that conservatives wrongly focus on “entitlements,” ignoring suburbia and peak oil, it’s that they embrace a whole host of conspiracy theories to place the blame for our clusterfuck on “the other” instead of assuming responsibility for what their conservative values like wasteful militarism, immoral imperialism, and “greed is good” “free market” capitalism have created.

    No, by zeitgeist, I mean the “spirit of the times” the “general feel” of the general population.
    In this regard, I can assure you, the “average ‘murkin” knows little and understands less.
    Therefore, my assertation that whatever Kunstler pronounces is being assiduously ignored by the general population and their “leaders” still holds. (Those who even bother to ruminate a bit on “the immigration problem” are most likely to want to let it be handled by them’uns in gum’mint that are the experts in this matter. After all, that thinkin’ and doin’ stuff is hard work…)

    Downtown San Diego and many nearby neighborhoods are filling in with a pretty functional, coherent urban fabric, but the main development model in East County and North County is basically to build stupid shit all over hell. It’s a model that extends, with fairly small gaps, up the I-15 corridor through the Inland Empire to Victorville, back west across the Antelope Valley, and southwest into Ventura County. The only really reliable impediments to this shit are the steeper mountain ranges, some of which more closely resemble cliffs.
    Speaking of San Diegans who went off the deep end, I once knew one:
    http://aliensinthefamily.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/my-encounter-with-san-diego-police-recruiting-officer-and-noted-residential-vandal-robert-acosta/
    By contrast, the LA Basin, the San Fernando Valley and the proximal part of Orange County have some of the densest infill in the country. Other than Orange County, which is chronically beset with epic political and policy dysfunction, these places have really been getting their acts together on mass transit in recent years. The rest of the country should be looking to the agencies and officials involved, especially the LA Metro and Antonio Villaraigosa.

Jeremiahs are seldom popular, but they are needed. He told the Judeans (Israel was already gone) that it was too late, they hadn’t listened to God, that he Jeremiah had been their last chance and they hadn’t listened to him either – so now it was too late and they should get ready for their new life that would be in Babylon.

    average American knows little and understands less.
    And how, pray tell, did that come about?
    One impportant factor was and is the continueing abandonment by American intellectuals of their responsibilities, which consist of engaging with their less well educated fellow citizens and acting as, so to speak, witnesses for truth and civilization.
    Meanwhile, did you notice the panic attack from our Chinese spammer? To paraphrase the gibberish, hiring overeas workers AND their families, ie., paper relatives, is cheaper than jobs for indigenous people, who might as well go off and die, apparently. Cheaper for the multinational employer, perhaps, but surely not for the host nation.
    I repeat, I believe that calling for an outright moratorium on immigration is the one issue short of an actual declaration of war on some foreign power that does get people’s attention.

    One of the interesting aspects of our immigration policy or lack thereof is the changing demographics of the electorate. “White Male” election power is waning as the Republican party changes into the Republican rest home. Most of these people have beliefs and political opinions that are no longer relevant to this world so, in my opinion, it is a good thing that they are out-voted by the new majority. The problem is the new majority is also clueless regarding the important issues of excessive debt, climate destabilization and resource scarcity.

    The continuing stream of mass shootings (5 more dead today)and general mayhem (over a thousand dead since Newtown) reflect the tension in American society, but not in a revolutionary way. It is just another aspect of the monetization of our lives for the benefit of the 1%.
    While the gun industry celebrates record sales and the successful transformation of semiautomatic weapons into “sporting’ guns for “sportsmen” by industry lobbyists like the NSSF (based in Newtown, CT), another even creepier Industry is enjoying record profits at the expense of public safety.
    Psychiatry led the way to the Nazi concentration camps when they began a program of euthanizing the mentally ill, disabled or otherwise undesirable citizens in the 1930’s. Today they pursue an agenda of childhood “screening”, turning any emotionality into a pathology, to be treated with their powerful and highly profitable armada of psychotropic drugs. These poisons effectively perform a chemical lobotomy that makes their subjects much more cooperative and “easier to handle”. They also have a 5 – 10% rate of violent, bizarre homicidality/suicidality as a “side effect”.
    These drugs are now being prescribed at a 10x higher rate for such conditions as nail biting, bed wetting, weight loss and “I just broke up with my girlfiend”. Big Pharma pays Harvard psychiatrist millions of dollars each to endorse the use of these drugs on children as young as 6, despite the fact that most are not approved for such use and that long term use causes provable brain damage. Part of their racket is reflected by the fact that poor children who qualify for Medicaid are prescribed at a 4x higher rate.
    So welcome to Zombie Nation where we deal with the angst of a tripling of oil prices, an unsustainable suburban culture and a planetary climate emergency by popping another pill or 2 or 3.

Thus his Communism is deeper than Ozone’s or Kdog’s – and in accordance with Trotsky, Marx, Lenin, Mao etc. They had contempt for people – far deeper than the True Conservative who knows the People are no greak shakes either – but still made in the Image of God.
    While Americans are fighting the Gun Grab, a united Democrat/Republican Party will legalize tens of millions of illegals. And – everyone of them will be treated better than native born Americans. This wasn’t “supposed” to be done until the Wall was built and e-verify in place. So the Amensty may cause another mass exodus from South of the Border – unless things are already so bad here that it’s not worth it. That will be the end of immigration – when America is just another 3rd World Dump. But that means Social Services will have to go. There are still alot of Whites to be fleeced before that happens.

    Alex Jones Jones is a sensationalist and fear porn purveyor. He’ll spin any story he can into another example of how they’re preparing to kill or enslave us. He paints government as enemy.
    Government actually helps us by building infrastructure that helps private enterprise to thrive. Entrepreneurs cannot do it by themselves. They cannot build a business without government help in the form of roads, education (if you can read and write), bridges, telecommunication infrastructure, etc. Success comes from joint efforts, collective effort, not solely by individual effort.
    “If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.” –Barack Hussein Obama

    No words have power in and of themselves. Blue collar White Guys all over America do this all the time – insult each other and pretend they didn’t mean it or they’re not hurt by what the other guy said. Then one of them goes too far and is secretly hated there after. Or the conflict immediately flares up then and there. Guess what? The upper classes, starting with the middle/middle even, doesn’t do this. Interesting that they’re on top and you (we, I come from the working class and I know first hand) are on the bottom. You see, they’re nice to each other. They “groom” each other to use Anthropological language. It’s one of the secrets of power, you see. Losers tear each other down.

    Just had an epiphany: since Liberals typically don’t engage in shit talk with each other, or any kind of mock combat – perhaps that is why they are so incredibly vicious to their ideological opponents. They need hate obejcts for the emotional gratification they don’t get from each other.
    The Green Types are some of the nicest amongst themselves – and some of the most vicious with enemies. Thus the Communist infiltration of Greendom wasn’t a stretch at all.

    New England’s literacy rate was well over 90% before the creation of the public school system. It has never been that high since. Clearly, this system was created for other reasons than education… Horace Mann and Co were great admirers of the Prussian State dontcha know…
    Of course, the New Eglanders were Yankee Aryans. You’d never get that level of literacy now, public schools, private, home, whatever. The Genetic Capital just isn’t there anymore.

    White, male, and property owners were literate? Or everyone (natives, women, Blacks, etc.) had a literacy rate of 90% … do you have a citation to support your claim of a universal literacy rate of 90%?
    We, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity. We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit. But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future. For we remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty, and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn. We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few. We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm. The commitments we make to each other – through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security – these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great. — Barack Hussein Obama

    In the past, the oppressors were the monarchs. We handled and go away from that with the Magna Carta and other developments.
    Now it is governments that are the oppressors. Central banks and governments are the primary enemy of the people (actually the people are their own worst enemies for unwittingly electing and re-electing the representatives who are their executioners).
    These central banks need to go. Governments need to become smaller and get out of the way.

    Four more years of Obama will sink the US economy to levels not even imagined today. Continuing to prop up a system with no future shall bring our country to its knees.
    The first time you meet someone listen carefully to what they say. The first thing out of their mouth is often a clear truth or a boldfaced lie. Change we can believe in was the first thing we ever heard Obama say and the truth of that turns out to be no change at all. McAlvaney hit it on the head when he identifed the emergence of a political class of elite career politicians who do not serve the public good but only serve themselves unless by chance the two interests coincide. McAlvaney reasons are to sell financial services true, but so what, that doesn’t make him wrong any more than JHK is proven wrong every time he drives a car.
    Each generation of an established aristocracy becomes more disconnected from their subjects and American politicians are aristocracy. It’s not hereditary unless you consider money is inherited but the characteristic of membership in a separate and superior class, a ruling class, the defining characteristic of any aristocracy is undeniable. So long as self interest and the public duty coincide everything is fine but thats not what we have. Downscaling and re-localizing American life means nothing to quObama and everything else which passes for leadership in this country. Downsizing and living within means does not put money in a politicians pockets and politicians are all about lining their pockets. Politics is their career, their vocation, it is not a civic obligation to them for the two are mutually exclusive.
    That we have lost our way is understandable. Americans worship specialization and confuse efficiency with virtue. Smart in America means knowing a lot about small slivers of the intellectual pie. The smaller the slice you have and the more you know about that little slice the smarter you are. You know your place and within those tiny boundaries and you,- king of nothing fit in. Second place does not count, winning is everything. Consequently it’s natural to believe that a separate ruling class can take care of us far better than we can take care of ourselves. Ask the common man or woman if he or she is better off ruled by experts and by god and apple pie they will agree. Ancient Greeks learned better 2500 years ago and we need a Cleisthenes now for ancient lessons have been forgotten.
    Innovation in a totalitarian state is almost non-existent and American innovation declines with every loss of freedom. At a time when we desperately need new habits and new practices, when nobody in California knows how to build a house without hiring a dozen Mexicans we need help. When everything has been reduced to the turn of a crank and then waiting for magic to happen circumstances which can lead to new ways of doing things are rare Anyone who is lucky enough to have a job is also smart enough to not make any waves and keep their mouth shut. Every vacant job has three people trying to get it and that is not an atmosphere which embraces change. A bit of rain has fallen and now we are mired in mud, it didn’t take much.
    Occasionally the historical record shows men of greatness emerging to lead, a hero who dreams of better worlds. It doesn’t happen all the time but it can, lets hope it does. Lets make it happen.

    No one makes the suburbia is unsustainable argument better than Chuck Marohn of strongtowns.org. (Jim is entertaining as hell, but Chuck gets into the nitty gritty financials). Sitting through his presentation should be required of every city, county, and state official before they take office and spend away our future (because they don’t understand the liabilities of what they’re already responsible to maintain).
    After a lull, lots of new stuff is getting built here in Miami. BUT, it is all stuff in the dense urban core with retail on the ground floor. Seems the South Americans who came to town to buy up the unsold stock built during the last boom (cash deals sold at reduced prices) aren’t interested in the suburbs/exburbs. Thus, builders are responding with more projects in the dense cores. In Miami Beach where there are restrictions about knocking down historical buildings, buildings are getting renovated left and right, usually by stripping the interiors completely and updating everything. This might once again become the walkable city it once was.

    As JHK points out, we are “stuck” with the suburban sprawl that we have built for ourselves.
    While we can’t easily un-do that, I think it will be interesting to see how suburbia evolves, at some point in the not-so-distant future, to survive (although not thrive) in the Brave New Post-Peak-Oil World.
    Some possibilities:
    – People giving up most of their SUVs for motorcycles or community-operated jitneys that circulate to get them where they need to go.
    – Massive acreages of sod torn out, and replaced with vegetable gardens.
    – Infill and mixed commercial activities invading the currently homogeneous block-after-block of detached, single family housing. By which I mean commercial activities selling actual practical things, such as hardware stores (gasp) and bakeries (gasp) and bicycle repair shops (double gasp).
    – More bike trails and bike lanes that actually GO somewhere … i.e., not just for weekend recreation, but for actually fetching groceries, garden tools, books, duct tape, eggs, fruit tree netting, coffee, bread.
    Of course, proposing any of the above changes in 2013 would throw most homeowners’ associations into apoplectic fits of outrage. And, off course, proposing the above changes in 2033 will just seem like, duh, common sense.

    One concerning probably the most difficult a lot of information about the legal process for additional details on immigrate to going to be the U.S.is most likely the waiting. People have often felt powerless against going to be the drawn out moving bureaucracy embedded included in the immigration agency in the United States. Fortunately,people are starting to educate yourself regarding learn that going to be the law provides them so that you have a strategy also protection back and forth from a wait that may or may not otherwise be the case unending The Administrative Procedures Act has a multi function provision that says that about whether or not an immigration application has been pending gorgeous honeymoons as well an unreasonable amount concerning a period of time then going to be the applicant at least going to be the beneficiary relating to going to be the application has a all the way for additional details on bring an all in one legal action (“Writ concerning Mandamus”) against going to be the immigration department (USCIS) and procure a loan from that going to be the court for the extra bucks USCIS to educate yourself regarding make an all in one decision all around the their case immediately.The number to do with individuals which of you have that can be used this strategy has increased steadily a lot more than going to be the last several very many years Routinely they have was able to find that one of these law suits are the most effective means to learn more about obtain a multi function resolution to educate yourself regarding their case and finish the frustrating wait,all of which keeps a number of different immigrants’ and their families’ lives all over the always maintain delaying their access for more information about going to be the benefits having to do with residency and ultimately citizenship.Who is always that obtainable for to understand more about sue going to be the USCIS?Virtually anyone which of you has an immigration application pending and has been waiting also an unreasonable amount having to do with a period also an answer usually intended for to sue the USCIS. In general,examples of courts have was able to find that waiting times that are concerned several years beyond the average processing a period and for that among the most common application, as recorded all around the going to be the immigration website: uscis.gov/processingtimes/ , are considered unreasonable. Are there any risks?The most mon concern been vocal on the basis of it is certainly plausible and when you consider suing the USCIS is because whether or at best not ever their application could be at a multi function it is more likely risk about denial. However,we have found this thought out strategies the contrary. Our office was some form of having to do with the before anything else and is the fact a minumum of one regarding by far the most active immigration you can find filing law suits against going to be the USCIS on all of our jurisdiction and all of our experience in the field has revealed that going to be the applications resulting in a legal action since they will be filed answers a multi functional fair adjudication back and forth from going to be the government so that you have a lower incidence concerning error.

    The finance minister for the province of Alberta, Canada (the so-called Saudi Arabia of North America) today stated that decreasing royalty payments from bitumen producers will result in a budget deficit that will necessitate borrowing in order for the province to meet its expenses. Overcapacity in American supplies has resulted in a $40 per barrel discount on the oil sands-derived petroleum versus the West Texas Intermediate price. This has significantly cut into the province’s oil royalty revenue and is prompting the provincial leadership to push ever harder for alternate pipeline routes to access offshore oil markets. The most lucrative route being eyed right now is the one to the west coast to access premium priced Asian markets.
    This is the trap Albertans have created for themselves by encouraging rapid oil sands development through low royalty payments from producers. Oil companies borrow billions to build the extraction facilities as fast as possible, then have to keep production going full steam ahead to make the debt payments. If the market is glutted, they search for new customers rather than scaling back production and conserving the resource. Thousands of workers move into the province to build and operate these facilities, bringing their families with them. Thus, more demand for schools, roads, hospitals, shopping centers, housing, sewers, waterworks, electricity, sports facilities, policing, etc, all of which means the government also gets locked into an ever expanding inventory of costly infrastructure to build and maintain. The rush to expand causes labor shortages, so wages rise for skilled workers, further increasing the cost of all this new construction. Property taxes rise for everybody regardless of whether they are benefitting from the boom. Politicians won’t raise the royalty rates for fear of driving new business away. Increasing production quantity is seen as the province’s only path to continued prosperity. Alberta has unwittingly become Seymour in “The Little Shop of Horrors”, the flower shop proprietor who finds himself irrevocably committed to feeding his growing man-eating plant a steady supply of neighbors.
    Alberta has a $7.5 billion royalty trust account that serves as a rainy day fund. The trouble is, it was $15 billion just two years ago and there is a reluctance to bleed this completely dry. Compare this trust fund to Norway’s sovereign energy trust which has around $680 billion in assets, helped by a 2/3 government ownership stake in Statoil, the nation’s largest energy producer. Alberta and Norway both produce about 2 million barrels per day of oil and both incorporate costly extraction infrastructure (offshore platforms in Norway’s case). Based on their respective populations, Norway holds $144,600 in trust per citizen and Alberta $2,027 per citizen. Rather than build up a financial nest egg for the province, all that Canadian oil sand wealth is going into private ownership: stock holders’ accounts, inflated home values, and all the showy toys and baubles purchased by high-wage earners wallowing in the over-heated economy. And what will be left behind after the last gooey dregs of tar sand have been scraped away? Not much in the public’s interest I dare say; a pile of IOUs, a few sports arenas or similar state vanity erections, hundreds of toxic lakes, and a whole lot of heavy equipment operators with nothing left to haul except their household goods to the self-storage locker – future extras in the next generation of “Pawn Stars” reality TV shows.

    Think a little deeper about what you’ve written. The operant labels among globalist are “global labor pool” and “human capital”. Make no mistake, global finance and the transnational corporations have successfully colonized all erstwhile sovereign nations. Effectively, you and I aren’t classed anymore as citizens of an independent sovereign nation holding self determination. We’ve instead been “equalized” at market valuation; adjusted to the overpopulation of “human capital” across the globe.
    Get it? Though America has favorable resource/population ratio compared to most of the world, our destiny has been entwined with all those terribly overpopulated nations.
    You see, It didn’t take Kunstler’s apprehension of “ shifting them into this country from regions more rapidly affected by contraction is just dumb”; the folks running the show have bamboozled us with the global free market spiel (bullshit), leading us to believe that the broad middle class of 1970s America can be realized globally.
    The only possible outcome will instead be a very narrow wealth class across the globe, sub layered by another narrow minority of apparatchiks, technicians and functionaries. The rest (Americans now included) will dwindle in number to where abject poverty holds population at stasis level.

    The Internet offers many means of affordable marketing with auto responders. Here are a couple of popular ways of using them.

    DIRECTORY Some webmasters set up link or article directories on their sites. They create a directory on a specific industry topic, placing their own ad or banner along the top. Then they invite others to add their website links via a link exchange program, listing themselves in your directory. Or they invite articles to be submitted that include a resource box at the bottom of each with a link to the author’s website. This results on increased traffic as sites link up across the World Wide Web. Enter “link exchange software” or “article directory software” into a favorite search engine for help with each.

    TEACH A COURSE Some marketers write up a simple step-by-step instructional class in their area of expertise,NFL JERSEYS. Then they break it up into smaller portions or messages and set them up in an auto responder as email messages, including short ads within each message to invite sales & website visits. Then they invite website visitors to sign up through on online form or email subscription address offered through the auto responder service. As people sign up, they will learn more about the products and services through the teaching series.

The hundreds of Peace Corps volunteers who have been raped – now that’s a cover up of what should have been a huge story.

I long have concluded close to the same, a global elite bereft of any loyalties other than to themselves and their own class, having more fraternity with their counterparts in London, or Hong Kong or Zurich or Moscow or Riyadh than they do to the rabble taking up space in their own country.
    While in all likelihood I’ll be listening to memorized books recited to each other down at the abandoned rail car yard, we need remember there is no certainty regarding the affairs of men.

    I don’t think so. The Newtown memorial is the brainchild of a cop who is soliciting help from an EMT he knows. As far as I can tell, he’s emotionally fragile, deals with his emotional fragility in really weird ways, and likes to involve others, including the press, his police agency (indirectly, by naming it in interviews), and various other officials who he figures might validate him by praising his nutcase ideas. One of my Twitter contacts summed him up brilliantly as a “good-natured mush-head.”
    A big part of the problem is that most people are hesitant to call time out on this sort of boundary violation. This emboldens people who would otherwise be reticent about publicizing their own pathos.

  137. AMR January 22, 2013 at 1:39 am #

    Well said. Mike Scanlan has a case of teh crazy.
    What I find disconcerting about this circus is that Canadians living well over a thousand miles from Newtown are getting worked up over carnage that is not endemic to their country, and that they’re being led by a cop. Canadians are less heavily armed than Americans and much less violent. It strikes me that they’re substituting the manufactured reality of American cable news for their own observations. That’s potentially one less anchor for sane Americans to grab in our efforts not to get swept up in ostentatious bereavement and violence worship.

    I’ve been following the story for a few weeks but not really super close so somebody can read up and straighten me out if I have it wrong.
    Several weeks ago returning from a movie with her date a young woman was raped by five men on a bus. Her boyfriend was disabled by a crack from a steel bar and when they were finished the five threw her from the bus and left her for dead. She did die later in Singapore after being taken there for medical treatment. I believe large scale protest was necessary to get the perpetrators arrested and charged. The sight of thousands of people demanding justice (successfully) was not something the powers that be decided we needed to see. Sort of like target internet ads you could say but on a social rather than individual scale. We were being protected from useless information for our own good. In this case democracy in action and the struggle for women’s rights.
    But if I’m wrong someone please correct me. We don’t want paranoid dogs running around. Here is something to start with.

    http://www.ctka.net/abc_cap.html

    This week network TV hit a new low with ABC’s airing of its 14 and one-half hour, $40-million dollar “epic,” Amerika. The xenophobic red-baiting engaged in by Amerika is hardly new to TV, but never before has a network spent so much time and money in such a blatant attempt to inspire in its audience jingoistic paranoia toward the Soviet Union and the United Nations. Small wonder that Mikhail Gorbachev complained to visiting American bigwigs earlier this month that “forces to which hostility is profitable … use high-powered information media to sow hatred toward the Soviet Union.”
    The commotion about Amerika has obscured a much more serious problem about network TV, one that could serve to validate Gorbachev’s complaint for years to come. Despite its length and its crass appeal to the dark side of the American character, Amerika is just a TV show. As such, it’s not likely to have much lasting effect. However, that cannot be said of the changes in network ownership and control that have taken place over the last two years. These have transformed at least NBC and ABC from tasteless schlock-meisters merely striving to sell more ads into powerful information gatekeepers with strong ties to established power blocs that have their own aggressive foreign and domestic political agendas.
    At issue in the ABC situation in particular is an extraordinary story overlooked by most of the press and never taken up by congressional investigators: Who actually took over ABC when Capital Cities Communications bought it in March 1985? For “Cap Cities” is no ordinary company, and the takeover was no ordinary case of corporate wheeling and dealing.

We will lose control of the money system; we’ll go broke trying to keep up our oil supplies; the American public will get more economically desperate and angry; and pretty soon the practical matters of daily life will become rather harsh.

    If folks continue this focus on the conflicts with, and struggling for some greater advantage over their fellow beings, we never will be a team. This is exactly what is promoted by those who seek to control the world.
    If you happen to be black, white, Hispanic, male, female. rich, poor, ugly, attractive, fat, thin, etc, it is a temporary condition. We are spiritual beings having human experiences–a lot of human experiences in a process of reincarnation. If this is not the Fact, than in what lies the meaning of life.
    Why choose to struggle against one another? It’s just an age old habit, addiction which ends up enhancing the feeling of being separate. The Fact is we are ONE Being. Brotherhood is nothing to work toward–it simply IS awaiting your recognition.
    Then we can get down to seeing more clearly, loving more dearly, serving more freely. We then inherit the peace and plenty of our abundant gifts. We free ourselves from our limited ego-minds. Through off the chains of our limited craving, experiencing real creativity and True Spiritual Freedom.

    However, if you’re in the propaganda business, you would want to cover it up because you wouldn’t want your own population to sympathize with any Soviets. They were all Communists, and Communists were evil and deplorable and not to be trusted. No exceptions. All Russians were poisoned by the malady of Communism, and there should be no sympathy.

    Every time when somebody proposes something with over the board emotions attached to it there is agenda behind it. In poor sacks’ case the motive, without sometimes even being aware of it, is that some decades from now while walking with his grandkids around “memorial” he can say: “It was me who did this”. Present time adoration would not have been unwelcomed either. Idiot wants something to be called after him.
    Nobel Prize Bosnian writer in one his short stories depicted such a character, small 19th century town local who helped visiting master builder to erect a new cross on the local church spire. After master builder “collected a final payment and left the town”, this former “Mr. nobody” decided that he deserves more respect from towns’ people because “he was way up there, defying fear and gravity, unlike any of them”. Whole story is brilliantly rendered torment of his soul after being ignored, as people went about they own daily business.

There was nothing out of ordinary that they are aware of, and all is good.

Interweaved participants in that charade were full of excitement, for obviously different reason: that they are there and nothing else matters.
    If John Corzine or any of the ”Gang” was honorable guest and seated next to the president there would have not been elevated or God forbid even slight critical tone even on that radio station, supposedly critical voice of America.

And I’ll still maintain that most/many of those bozos truly BELIEVE that “we Americans are the hardest working people in the world and that growth will solve all of our problems, forevermore.” -RW Bozo, paraphrased-
    The real failure of leadership is from the left, failure to do anything worthwhile about environment or overpopulation – as a way of slowing the sacred “Growth” before it’s too late.
    Of course, “leadership” on the left has mostly been bought out WHOLESALE, by money from the big business right. Here’s the worst example, IMO, but there are many others if one knows where to look.

    The W Smith character was wrestling with and trying to subdue an alien, which got away.
    T L Jones arrives at the scene and said:
    “Did he say anything to you?”
    W Smith: “Yeah, the world was coming to an end.”
    T L Jones deadpans with a straight face:

    Thanks Balkan, I thought it was only me that notices such things. The raspiness you speak of is a speech affectation that has evolved over the past few decades to the point of no longer being an affectation and is prevalent primarily among women and, to a slightly lesser extent, among gay men of the flaming variety. There is actually a clinical term for this phenomenon. It is called “vocal fry” in linguistics circles. In this same group of speakers you are also likely to find in play another recent phenomenon of speech termed “up talk” where nearly every declaritive sentence is turned into a question by an upward inflection of the voice at the end. If you are not already familiar with these terms I encourage you to Google them.

    How many spies were executed before and since? The Rosenbergs were symbolic scapegoats. The so-called “secrets” they peddled were harmless. In fact, it was ridiculous to think the Soviets could have done anything with what the Rosenbergs allegedly gave them. They were political sacrifices every bit as much as Morant and Handcock were. Here’s an excellent documentary about the Rosenbergs by their granddaughter. They were brave. Naive, yes, but also brave.
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388996/

There is no comparison.

    Not going to argue with you about the atrocities of the Soviet Union against it sown people. Stalin was despicable piece of shit and what he did to the Russian people was a tragedy, but the Rosenbergs didn’t have to be sacrificed for political purposes. In principle, it was an act of terror to stifle all dissent and underscore conformity. The same thing Stalin did with his terror campaign, albeit, as you say, in scale, there was no comparison. In principle, the purpose and effect were equivalent.
    And if you’re so concerned about traitors and treason, and the U.S. Government is so concerned, then how come there hasn’t been a long list of treasonous traitors executed for giving the country away? Ollie North anyone? Reagan? Bush I and Bush II. Clinton? Obama? All of guilty of treason in the first degree, and countless others, but somehow they’ve miraculously avoided execution. You, HW, are a bully. The Rosenbergs were Strawmen erected and burned to set an example. It worked. They were murdered in Cold Blood.

    Where is the room for diversity in your vision? Traditionally, Liberals have been repelled by such visions – the classic being Plato’s Republic. The Church for example, overlooked Plato for Aristotle – who admitted Quantity and Variety as being important. In correction to his Master, he said that you never see a Principle or Archetype but only relative examples of these. To see Forms in their Purity is for the Few, the Sages in their meditation.
    Or from another angle: you think Mexicans and Blacks are going to renounce their ethnic identities? These are all important to them. Only Whites are so weak and gullible to do something like that on command. Or look at the Jews: they had two thousand years of living with others, have they renounced their oppositional culture?
    I admit that it can happen, but it can’t be predicted or dictated or even expected. Usually one Culture destroyes or displaces another. Occasionally, two cultures merge – such as the Arab/Negro in parts of the Somali coast. But again, it takes a long time and it cannot be forced or predicted. And it usually doesn’t happen.

    100 years of natural gas he says. And we have plenty of oil he says. Enough to export even.
    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Chomp.
    From last week. Checked my numbers. Introducing the K-Dog coefficient.
    1 barrel of oil = 158.987 liters which is also equal to 158.987 cubic decimeters
    158.987 cubic decimeters * ( 1 cubic meter / (10^3) cubic decimeters) = 0.158987 cubic meters
    Result: 1 barrel of oil consumes 0.158987 cubic meters of space.
    Multiply by a trillion to move us into the ballpark of global reserves.
    1 trillion barrels = 0.158987 x 10^12 cubic meters
    0.158987 x 10^12 cubic meters * ( 1 cubic kilometer / (1000^3) cubic meters) =
    158.987 cubic kilometers
    The cube root of 158.987 is 5.4174. This will be useful later.
    1 trillion barrels of oil consumes 158.987 cubic kilometers of space.
    The area of Texas = 696,200 square kilometers.
    (158.987 cubic kilometers) / (696,200 square kilometers) = .00022836 kilometers
    .00022836 kilometer * ( 1000 meters / 1 kilometer ) = .22836 meter
    .22836 meter * ( 39.3701 inches / 1 meter) = 8.9906 inches
    call it 8.99
    ❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧
    A trillion barrels of oil poured over the state of Texas would cover the state to a depth of 8.99 inches or 1 kdog.
    1700 billion barrels is the remaining global oil reserve.
    The remaining global oil reserve would cover the state of Texas to a depth of 1.7 kdogs.
    Multiplying by the kdog coefficient ( 8.99 )gives a depth of 15.3 inches.
    The remaining global oil reserve would cover the state of Texas to a depth of 15.3 inches.
    1 kdog is equivalent to a cube of space 5.4174 kilometers or 3.3662 miles on a side.
    ❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧
    One 3.3662 mile cube of oil is all we have for all future generations of mankind. We need to get offa our asses and get to work going solar. That includes wind and everything else renewable.

    Do you admit then the final piece of the puzzle? That it was always the Rothschilds and their followers that created and funded Communism?

    The Russian Revolution and the form of Government that replaced Tzarist Russia required financing, and yes, that financing came from Western interests. The subsidization of the Soviet Union continued unabated until the end, but effectively, the Soviet Union was done when Stalin died…it just took several decades for the last gasp. That’s the naughty little secret. Stalin and the Soviet Union were the best thing that ever happened to the Western Plutocracy. They could now point their finger and say “look over there if you think you have it so bad” as they robbed the world blind.
    Centralization leads to concentration of wealth and power which leads to tyranny. The key is to decentralize and diversify. Make the psychopaths work for it…one person at a time, and deprive them of the tremendous leverage centralization provides.
    I will give Stalin and the Soviets credit for kicking the German’s ass in World War II. That was an impressive comeback. The Soviets backs were against the wall at Stalingrad, and they somehow pulled it out and reversed the momentum. The world, including the Jews, owe thanks to them for that, at least. Without that, the Jews were toast…because the U.S. sure as hell wasn’t going to bail them out.

    Hey Vlad, much of the early $$$ that financed the Bolsheviks consisted of artwork, jewelry and vestments looted and stolen from the Holy Russian Church, Museums, private estates and the Czars palaces and family. John Reed, for example, was initially paid off with $2 million in looted diamonds. The first thing Lenin got down to, besides banning books, was dynamiting churches and executing priests … by the tens of thousands. A lot is made of the Nazis and the artwork they stole in conquered Europe. The Marxists did the same thing, robbing churches and museums that went back 1000 years. They also like to blow up and loot Synagogues and murder Rabbis. Nobody escaped. Nothing like it had ever happened in the history of the world, and maybe nothing ever will.

    No way. The Rosenbergs may have been Jews, but they were not the Rothchilds. They lived a rather meager existence, by comparison. The Rosenbergs were attracted to the idealism that the theory of Communism espoused, and they believed, at least for a time, that the Soviet Union was about that. They were naive and duped by Stalin, as many Communists in the U.S. were. Remember, it was not abnormal to be a Communist in the U.S. once upon a time. The Red Scare changed all that.

He was accused of belonging to a Troskyist Organization and engaging in espioniage on behalf of four countries: Japan, England, France and Lithuania. Pasternak, Shoshtakovich, Olesha, and Ehrenburg all made their appearance in the stenographic record of Meyerhold’s interrogation, the dramatis personea in what was meant to be a unique spectacle”

    The antipathy between the Ukrainians and the Jews goes back at least to the time (17th century) when Poland’s aristocracy employed Jews to manage their estates in the Ukraine.
    When Stalin began his war on the Ukrainians, he made good use of the enmity between these two groups. The details are laid out in Uri Selzkine’s “The Jewish Century.” Kevin MacDonald reviews Selzkine’s book in an essay entitled “Stalin’s Willing Executioners.” Stalin’s assault on the Ukrainians has a racial angle to it that most historians of the period seemed either to have ignored or been unaware of.
    A few years ago, an academic named Goldhagen (I think) came out with a book in which he claimed that most Germans knew full well that Auschwitz was a murder camp. The book was entitled “Hitler’s Willing Executioners.” Now when MacDonald writes an essay to demonstrate that numerous Jews held administrative posts in the machine that sent two million Ukrainians to their deaths, he calls it(borrowing a phrase from Selzkine) “STALIN’S Willing Executioners.”

    Totalitarian Tyranny wasn’t defeated with the capitulation of the Soviet Union. The other strains filled the void, i.e. Corporatism. Anyone who has worked for a Corporation knows it is a Totalitarian Tyranny and very much like Stalinism. Try standing against it. It will destroy you, just as Stalin destroyed his perceived enemies. And yet, HW supports this newer, improved form of Stalinism. HW is a Totalitarian Tyrant. HW is not to be trusted. He despises freedom, liberty and self-determination, and embraces conformity, uniformity, centralization and concentration of wealth and power.

    Comrade Stalin, Beria, Molotov etc. would have been surprised to learn they were not Communists. A statement like that in 1938 in Moscow would earn you a fast trip to the execution cellars in the Kremlin.
    As far as corporations go, they don’t have their own police forces or prisons. If you don’t like the corporation you’re working for, just quit. That’s all. I’ve done it. So have many others. Its called freedom.

    Some pedophiles call themselves a Catholic Priests but no sane person would equate them with Catholicism. With Communists it is apparently different story.
    Communism had never existed. Millions of ordinary folks in “Eastern Block” who joined the Party did that from fear of Stalinist leaders at the beginning and inertia in later years. They were simply being born into that system, indoctrinated in a way no different than “free market” and “democracy” that is in here. Joined the Party in similar manner as “sheeple” in US hopped on shopping spree and by some innate desire to steal somebody’s wealth.
    For Communism to work entire population had to have such a level of personal integrity, honesty and social consciences like Ayn Rand’s capitalist (sic) counterparts.

    You’re almost Home. Now for the Final Revelation: the Bankers ARE almost all Jewish. And the Jews support them, wisely or not, for that reason. The Rothschilds did give alot of aid to the new state of Israel and at least one of them is on some of the money I believe.
    In Solzhenitsyn’s new book, Two Hundred Year Together, he talks about how hard it is to have a real conversation with the Jews. He acknowledges that others took part in the Atrocities and in the Revolution, the Ukranian Whites also committed atrocities on a wide scale.
    But now, the Jews refuse to remember their incredible enthusiasm for the whole thing. They only choose to remember that Stalin turned agains them. Now the Narrative has become the Jews were the victims of Stalinism and Communism, even the chief victims. Thus anything that makes them (you) look bad is instantly forgotten, whereas grievances against you are remembered in detail for thousands of years.

    We all need to stop wasting energy. Not necessarily to become “third world” … not to suffer or die from lack of energy … but certainly to stop the extravagant waste of our first world lifestyle. We can easily live comfortably on one tenth of our energy use. And with a better quality of life. Ask Tripp.

    It was brought up indirectly. The focal point of that post was the co-opting of the Mainstream Media by the Intelligence Services, thus turning it into pure propaganda that puts the ignominious Pravda to shame. That post was in to add clarity to a William Casey quote made by another poster. It’s good to know where you stand. You would fit in well over at Pat Lang’s place, if you’re not already a regular there.
    For the record, I consider the likes of Bill Casey to be as immoral as Stalin, just not as messy. The likes of Casey knew they could accomplish their task without murdering millions. But if they had no other option, they would have done the same (and will do the same considering what’s coming down the pike). Stalin had other options, but chose to annihilate everyone close to him.

    For the literati:

    “If you thought deindustrialization was something that decimated a few unlucky manufacturing towns back in the 1980s, think again. Christine J. Walley’s poignant analytic memoir of family life and class relations after the steel mills closed shows how America is still living out the legacy of those years, decades later. Anyone who wants to understand why the gap between rich and poor keeps widening, why upward mobility has shifted from a collective to an individual project, which misbegotten policies led to this predicament, and how ‘the materiality of class’ affects us even at the cellular level, can learn from Walley’s wise and incisive critique.”

    Here in Toronto even the poorest of the poor are able to live in apartment buildings or houses that are centrally heated.
    Now go back three hundred years when the only dwellings to be seen on Lake Ontario’s hinterland were tents: How on earth did the Huron and Iroquois survive winter?
    Winter living has made me realize why the ancients regarded the forces of nature as conscious beings. To me, winter seems almost a malevolence. It has the power to kill and it does kill.
    Since very few people in this city die of exposure during the winter months, few seem to regard winter with dread. I don’t understand their sense of security. After all, sizable sections of Toronto have conked out before–no water, no light, no heat.
    Didn’t the ancient Greeks have a story about winter’s awfulness? Some sort of curse involving Persephone and Pluto? And Attica isn’t as cold as Ontario.

    ======================
    OK, true story time-
    I spent a year working at a veterinary clinic in SW metro Atlanta, that was located in a working class area that was trending, at the time, heavily black.
    Folks (both black and white, as I recall) would come in, or call in, frequently – to ask some version of the question, “How much will it be to have my dog (or cat) sprayed*?”
    We always had to stop short of answering them, “That depends on what color you want them to be when we are finished.” haha!
    *The reader will hopefully understand that “sprayed” is here, a mispronunciation of “spayed,”
    which procedure is also known in proper medical terminology as a complete canine (or feline) hysterectomy.
    ====================
    This was, truly, a lower income area. Canine distemper is a terrible viral disease in puppies and young dogs, and we saw a lot of it – even though the distemper vaccine had been readily available for years, and was not all that expensive.
    So, it would be bad news to have a young dog come in that might be suffering with distemper.
    It made it worse when the dog’s owner suspected distemper – especially if the owner was correct, and told you coming in, “He may have distemper.”
    Except the black owners didn’t usually pronounce it that way. They would usually say, “He may have ‘stemper.”*
    True story, here – If I’m lying, I’m dying.
    Apparently, their ears heard “dis stemper” and translated it into “formal” English as “this stemper.”
    So, when they brought the animal into the “formal” language setting of the vet clinic – they would drop the “dis” vernacular
    and shorten “dis temper” to “stemper.”
    =======================
    It was an innocent and gentler age in SW Atlanta.
    Although we did have drugs in the clinic, I did frequently close and lockup by myself, and I always carried a weapon in my car.
    Some of us younger employees were always getting onto the vets who owned the place to “hire a Black veterinarian.” They wouldn’t do it. And it was NOT, repeat NOT, because they were prejudiced.
    It was because they had discretely inquired among their existing black client base, as to how a new black veterinarian would be accepted at the practice – and discovered that that generation of black pet owners would not have accepted a young black vet, nearly as much as they would have trusted a young white one.
    I don’t know how things are there now.
    The clinic is still there. I haven’t been back since 1978. One of my vet tech co-workers went to vet school, and came back and bought the old owners out. He now specializes in doing spays for the humane society for really low prices.
    He’s fast! Fast enough to do a good job and still make money at humane society pay rates.
    I understand he finally hired a black vet.
    I really need to get back and see those folks, at my old vet clinic.

    The United States of America had practically open borders throughout its history, from its founding until about 1921 (with some notable exceptions such as the Chinese Exclusion Act).
    With this policy of open borders, the United States expanded greatly in population and led the world in terms of increases in its standard of living and increases in per capita income.
    We still have a low population density relative to other prosperous countries of the world. We have the room and we need open borders to improve the quality of life for all Americans.
    To wit, eleven countries are richer than the USA.
    1 Liechtenstein 141,100
    2 Qatar 104,300
    3 Luxembourg 81,100
    4 Bermuda 69,900
    5 Monaco 63,400
    6 Singapore 60,500
    7 Jersey 57,000
    8 Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) 55,400
    9 Norway 54,200
    10 Brunei 50,000
    11 Hong Kong 49,800
    12 United States 49,000
    Many of these countries that are richer than the USA also have a higher population density (Number of people per square kilometer):
    2 Monaco .. 15,255
    3 Singapore .. 7,680.77
    4 Hong Kong .. 6,479.64
    11 Bermuda .. 1,279.26
    174 United States .. 31.94
    That’s right, the USA ranks 174th in population density with 32 people per square km. Anyone who says the USA is “full up” is full of something else and is talking from anti-immigrant prejudice.
    The argument that more population means a lower quality of life just isn’t true. Assimilating new waves of immigrants will be possible for the United States and will lead to greater prosperity for the nation.

    So, is the above an argument in the nature of a general moral platitude?

    “Anyone who says the USA is “full up” is full of something else and is talking from anti-immigrant prejudice.” -the soaker hose-
    So, is the above an argument in the nature of a general moral platitude?
    Or, is it a simple racist argument designed to inflame passions and impede honest dialog?
    ==============
    No moral platitudes, just hard data.
    No mention of race at all.
    You are the one avoiding dialog by your name calling, which you seem to prefer. Address the argument, not the personal who posts. Your ad hominem is an admission of your weakness and lack of rational argument.

    Man is very tiny if you look at his body, man is very foolish if you look at his mind, and man is tremendously vast if you look at his consciousness. Three things meet in man. The vast, the infinite, meet in his consciousness, in his awareness. That’s what you become aware of when you meditate: boundaries recede and disappear.
    The body does not contain you; in fact, you contain the body. Ordinarily you think, “I exist in the body.” It is absolutely wrong. The body exists in you; you are vaster, you are bigger – not only bigger than the body, you are bigger than this whole universe. It is awareness that holds all.

What makes matters undesirable too them is always recognizing that they then you should not have adequate there are already to tell you about all some of these tax debts. It is the fact an all in one good thing that there are a few options that taxpayers can make continue to use concerning for additional details on make this type at least IRS down side to this less taxing. One to do with examples of these could possibly be the setting entirely having to do with an installment agreement.The IRS is because ach and every willing to learn more about accept from month to month payments. In fact, they as an example permit all your family members to try and force the an to educate yourself regarding fine going to be the amount and date traced in every month. If your total tax thanks will not go above and beyond $10,000, have been an all in one hard – working taxpayer and have somehow demonstrated that all your family members then you should not have a multi functional considerable amount having to do with money readily available, there usually a good chance that your sign up for too an installment plan in many cases are approved. The major consideration all over the your installment plan is always that it will want be the case able for more information about pay ly your total tax dues throughout the around three very many years The let me give you initiative considering solution often acplishing regarding Form 9465 (Installment Agreement Request Form) and attaching element to learn more about your tax come back running.The IRS may offer the option for more information about make partial payments having to do with tax liability in cases as soon as the taxpayer would be the fact really financially incapacitated. Specific financial details,a little as though any of those relating to understand more about their equity assets, are obtained back and forth from those which of you wish for additional details on avail relating to this option. It tends to be that imperative that the odds and ends about things routinely checked are consistent and accurate as examples of these can often be proven on the basis of the IRS. Also,pertaining to each more than one decades going to be the IRS will watch out for if the taxpayer is this already all over the a considerably better financial position. If and as such then there has to be that an all in one probability that going to be the monthly payment tend to be increased or at least the arrangement may be terminated, altogether. Although a few details different, this pretty much to do with understanding is usually that an installment plan nonetheless. The possible upside concerning installment options,but bear in mind perhaps be the fact that all your family tend to be had to have for more information about pay a great deal more money for additional details on the IRS going to be the a little longer all your family members online startup your payment agreement. This is always that because all your family members are actually purchasing time back and forth from going to be the IRS to pay your tax dues. Certain assistance are also incurred as well as any installment agreement. The IRS charges all your family to have an all in one one-time amount relating to $105 gorgeous honeymoons as well an approved installment plan. The price of interest is that lowered to $52 for those times when you be capable of getting a multi functional communicate with debit agreement,which requires all your family members for more information on debit monthly payments back and forth from your bank account. If all your family qualify too going to be the a lesser number of ine bracket,going to be the interest rate could be the considerably reasonably limited to educate yourself regarding $43.Although a lot of people what better way that making installment payments is the fact that an all in one viable option that enables them to explore settle their tax bills included in the around three year timeframe there are others who not only can they just do not be the case able for this to happen In fact,a multi function even better solution and then for them will likely be to learn more about are considering what is always called an Offer everywhere over the promise to the IRS. Basically, this is offering an all in one one-time payment for more information about going to be the IRS in the can only hope that they not only can they accept that lesser amount and agree for more information regarding five going to be the remaining money owed Again,element is the fact that ach and every invaluable to bear in mind that for those times when an IRS down side to this calls for going to be the measures discussed above,a resource box is that often best of the best to explore are searching for a little help from an all in one tax attorney and examples of a great many other tax professional. Darrin T. Mish (getirshelp.) may be the a multi function Nationally typically known as Attorney whose practice focuses all over the representing because of this across going to be the United States leaving IRS Problems.

    asoka.., the Grow, GROW cheerleader, as always
    ==============
    P4C, ignoring the human story, as always. Throughout history, migrants have fueled the engine of human progress. Progress, not “Grow, GROW.” Progress is the human story, change is inevitable. If you look back over the centuries, the story of our evolution has been positive change which diminishes suffering.
    The movement of migrants has sparked innovation, spread ideas, relieved poverty, and laid the foundations for a global economy.
    In a world more interconnected than ever before, the number of people with the means and motivation to migrate will only increase. That is just a fact that you ignore at your own peril. Organizations like NumbersUSA that try to stabilize, lessen, or stop immigration are on the wrong side of history and that is not a platitude.

  261. asoka.. January 23, 2013 at 8:46 am #

    We had open borders in the USA until 1921. If you look at the history of the freedom of movement of human beings, it becomes obvious that migration is not a zero-sum game; it brings great benefits to the receiving country, the sending country, and to migrants themselves. Not just economic and growth benefits, though those are not to be denied. Not just diversity of ethnic restaurants, though nothing wrong with that.
    Come to think of it, nothing wrong with moral platitudes either. By definition a moral platitude might be trite, meaningless, or prosaic… but not harmful. There are lots of things worse than moral platitudes. But charges of “moral platitude” do not hold up when one examines all the good things migration has done for humanity.

  262. asoka.. January 23, 2013 at 8:57 am #

    For example, migrants send back home over $350 billion a year, a sum much greater than all world aid granted to developing nations, and a big part of that money goes to education for the next generation. I do not consider education to be a “moral platitude” especially when it is privately funded as a result of private individual effort and a desire to better oneself and one’s loved ones. Why would I object to that?

  263. asoka.. January 23, 2013 at 9:06 am #

    And, yes, there are economic benefits from immigration because it stimulates the economy when low skilled foreign workers take the jobs that are not wanted by native workers. This is not a “moral platitude” argument for immigration. By taking jobs not wanted by natives, businesses are able to offer services at a lower price. Studies have shown that USA cities that had high levels of immigration saw reductions in the costs of housekeeping, gardening, child care, dry cleaning, and other labor intensive services. When people pay less for services I don’t consider that a “moral platitude” or “ethic restaurant” or “economic growth” argument for immigration. It just means more money in your pocket. Why would I object to that?

  264. progress4conserving January 23, 2013 at 9:08 am #

    “Anyone who says the USA is “full up” is full of something else and is talking from anti-immigrant prejudice.”
    -the racist resident impediment, using the racially loaded word, “prejudice” for his own purposes-
    “The word prejudice just means to pre-judge without even considering what the data say. It has nothing to do with race.”
    – the soaker hose, in a second post, re-defining the context of a commonly understood word he JUST used –
    And you need to look up “ad hominem.” My two favorite names for you do not fit the definition, because they are not random insults – the are, in fact based on your BEHAVIOR. In my opinion the two sobriquets above are quite accurate in their symbolism, and quite well deserved.
    ===================
    For example, you charge:
    “Anyone who says the USA is “full up” is full of something else….”
    “Full up” traditionally means “full up of shit,” so this is an “ad hominem,” on your part.
    That’s why you are The Resident Impediment, here, because you frequently engage in the behavior you decry in others.
    As to why you are “Our Soaker Hose,” I’ll explain that later, but it is also a relevant descriptor, based on your behavior on CFN.

Immigrants are job creators who start new businesses and create new jobs. Immigrants also account for around 25% of all global patent applications from the USA. Why would I object to that? What reason? Is innovation and discovery bad? Is having a job bad? Is being able to feed your family bad? Why would I object to immigrants being job creators?

In a world that’s at the precipice of decline, yet wealth is concentrating at an ever-quickening pace, thus creating an even greater chasm between the haves and the have nots, fewer and fewer will have the means to migrate out of country, let alone in country. Motivation without means withers in short order. The only mobile ones will be the Plutocrats, and they’ll need to be mobile if they want to keep their heads.

    http://www.wildancestors.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-short-history-of-progress.html

    Wright thinks the truth is more complicated. What makes this book unique and provocative is his notion of progress traps. The benefits of innovation often encourage society to live in a new way, while burning the bridges behind them as they advance. Society can find itself trapped in an unsustainable way of living, and it’s no longer possible to just turn around and painlessly return to a simpler mode. Like today, we know that the temporary bubble of cheap energy is about over, and our entire way of life is dependent on cheap energy. We’re trapped.

    HM, no one ever said that “global warming” means all hotter-all the time. And, anyway, “global warming” is an unfortunate name for a more nuanced concept – that being anthropogenic climate change.
    To argue that we humans are having no effect as we burn through 100’s of million of years of stored fossil carbon, in a few hundred years – is ludicrous, IMO. And I’m not picking a fight, I’m just stating a fact.
    ==============================

    It got up into the upper 60’s last week, up here on my mountain. One of my peach trees started flowering. It was 23 last night – no peaches for me, again this year.
    The FIRST big vineyard that opened in my region is now closing permanently. The owner blamed unseasonably warm winters, which caused early “bud break” coupled with late frosts.
    Climate change is subtle SO FAR (like that sea level rise, that you and I once grappled over) but it is definitely happening. And it’s definitely going to get worse, absent some as-yet-unforseen “miracle.”

    So David McAlvany is blaming old people and their entitlements (Social Security and Medicare) for the possible collapse of American democracy? And a dictatorship will arise in its place? Seems to me that the British Empire collapsed but no dictatorship took its place (unless Queen Elizabeth is a dictator). Seems to me empires are always collapsing and only in third world countries do dictatorships arise (Germany was not an empire so its collapse after WWI into facism doesn’t count).
    Dictators can only get power and money by VIOLENTLY taking it away from others. But regarding the collapse of America, like many I have lived through Hurricane Sandy and there was no rioting, no looting, no raping, etc. In fact, people COOPERATED! Yes, that’s right, families helped families, neighbors helped neighbors, people came from all over the country to HELP. And that help continues to this day (although some are still in a world of hurt).
    So I don’t think the collapse of the American Empire will be so tragic or swift. The real worry is the dark paranoid fantasies being perpetuated by the NRA that the government is out to get you. Seems to me that the government is too busy with Hurricane Sandy relief, a struggling economy, two foreign wars, etc. to worry about gun owners and their lousy guns. Unless you are cooking Meth in your backyard, the government isn’t interested in you. Of course there is the possibility that the NRA is inadvertently perpetuating drug sales due to their lobbyist activities that demand anyone can have a gun for any reason as long as gun manufacturers profit wildly! That’s the real danger.

    Always Blacks and Browns due to the multiplier effect. Blacks and Browns and low-skilled foreign workers provide services–such as home care or child care–that release skilled workers into the labor market.
    What does this actually mean? Here is an example: When a low-skilled migrant from Mexico moves to California and offers affordable child care, a mother staying at home, a skilled professional with a postgraduate degree, is released to join the workforce.
    Through the movement of one person, two people enter the workforce, and they will both earn wages that are spent on goods and services. Migration produces its own multiplier effects. Such indirect and second-order effects of migration are still underspecified, and the overall contribution of Blacks, Browns, and migrants to economic growth is therefore underestimated.

    This is an example of imported servitude. Disgusting. The bitch with the degree can stay home and raise the kids and keep the home, or she can skip having the kids. Imported servitude doesn’t reconcile that. As if whatever she’s going to do outside the home is of greater importance than raising children and keeping a stable home.

    It depends on how you define and perceive diversity. A diversity of approaches is a good thing. One of the main reasons Civilization is failing, and fails, is because of uniformity and homogeneity. Everything under the sun must be uniformly replicated and mass produced to the point the entirety of the world’s inhabitants now aspire to own a refrigerator and a car and so on and so forth. That’s what lack of diversity gets you. It gets you drowning in your own shit.

    As a former CPA, I can tell you this is about booking sales earlier rather than later, or front-loading sales. It looks good in the short-term on the books because it helps hide an otherwise decline, but as you say, eventually you reach a point where you’ve front-loaded so much sales for which you have not yet relinquished service that you have no room left to service new sales because you’re booked servicing the previously front-loaded sales. At that point, the companies that are too-big-too-fail will just renege on those service obligations, i.e. frequent flier miles, and the Gubmint will back them up on it because they’re too-big-too-fail. Then, they’ll start the whole front-loading scheme over again from scratch and all the brainless dolts will get in line and accept their shafting once more.

    Real dogs don’t change opinion at the change of the wind. Real dogs are reasonably consistent over time in their opinions.
    Another piece of advice is to not try and figure out exactly what a particular deceiver is up to or exactly how many people they are pretending to be. To try and figure them out is an exercise in futility. You don’t have enough information and trolls send out false clues on purpose. They will even say exactly what they are to confuse.

And the Jesuits are the worst Order of all now – not even Christian anymore. Anyone remember Fr Drinan of Boston College? One of the nastiest pieces of work that ever walked on two legs. Considered anti abortion folks the forces of darkness – yet he never lost his teaching privledges or his good standing as a priest.

    Earlier today, on a monitor overhanging a subway platform, there was a news note about Joe Biden: he’s thinking of running for president in 2016. Hillary Clinton is probably thinking of running too.
    In 2012, these two will be, respectively, 74 and 69 years old, which is to say they’ll be on the verge of becoming aged.
    Presidential campaigns are gruelling. Anyone who’s seventy or over and who has the vitality to conduct an American presidential campaign gets my salute. Their constitutions must be extraordinary. And after election comes four years of hard and stressful work.
    Maybe it’s a mind over matter thing–an ambition to rule that’s so fierce it supercharges the body’s physical processes. This can’t be discounted. Nonetheless, there have been number of American presidents and British prime ministers who, because of bodily or cognitive collapse, were rendered unfit for their jobs. Or so I’ve read. Here’s a list.
    William Pitt the elder
    Henry Campbell Bannerman
    Ramsay Macdonald
    Winston Churchill
    Anthony Eden
    Woodrow Wilson
    Franklin Roosevelt
    The case of John Kennedy is iffy: whether his adrenal disorders affected his mind is yet an unanswered question.

    Nonsense. These pricks are waited on hand and foot. All they’re required to do is stay on script, attend parties and functions, give speeches, and take a ton of vacations where they play golf. They get much more vacation time and perks than the average Joe. They don’t know hard work. Hard work would kill them. Blogging on CFN is hard work. It’s a minefield. Your next step could be your last. That’s REAL stress. Raising children is hard work, and it’s something none of them know anything about. All they had to do was conceive it. All living presidents should be required to finish their days digging for gold in the Congo. That’s hard work and proper penance for the atrocities that flowed forth from the tip of their pens, or their presidential stamps.

    Here’s an interesting web page I found. Last night I watched the PBS show “Frontline”. The show was about the “untouchable” nature of the executives at banks that were bailed out. Today the Frontline web site hosted a live chat and one of the participants said that Lanny Breuer, head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, would be leaving his post shortly to work for the Covingtion & Burlington law firm. So I went to their web site and searched for Lanny. He appeared on a web page congratulating C&B lawyers. Lanny’s name appeared under the “Litigation” heading. So I went to THAT part of the C&B web site. One of the bulleted “Representative Matters” was…
    “Represented Freddie Mac in multiple securities class action and derivative lawsuits brought in the wake of the company’s $5 billion restatement of earnings, obtaining a very favorable global settlement after prevailing on a novel defense to class certification. We also defended the client in related regulatory investigations by banking authorities and the SEC.”

    You can find whatever you want to find on the internet because it contains a multitude of completely contradictory statements.
    If you choose to believe what you read on the internet, without critically evaluating and corroborating the information, you are a fool.
    “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one.”
    ? Neil Gaiman
    Librarians have critical thinking skills that allow them to look at a question from many angles before working on the answer.
    Librarians understand nuances that aren’t contained in the text of a book or web site.
    Librarians have muti-dimensional problem solving skills. They understand that questions could lead to more questions and answers could lead to more problems.
    Librarians recognize differences in their users that search engines have yet to learn. Humans know more about human motivation than computers could ever understand.
    Librarians ask questions. They are taught to ferret out the researcher’s real question through reference interviews.
    Researchers often don’t know how to ask the right question to get the answer they are seeking. Reference interviews aren’t set questions and answers that a computer can put forth and understand. They are discussions between two human beings that lead to a better understanding of the question by both parties and better answers for the researcher.

    We don’t have a “deficit” problem. We don’t have a “spending” problem. We need more government spending and more investment in our infrastructure and in education.
    Both in absolute terms and as a percent of GDP, the deficit peaked in 2009 but has been shrinking since then.
    Meanwhile, the government has been laying off workers — including teachers and firefighters — over the past few years in an effort to curb spending. Some economists, including Krugman, say that this austerity has made the economic recovery slower than it would have been otherwise.

    Machines are programming people: without anyone noticing it, you are following the “programs”, the “instructions” the machines (but really indirectly what the corporations and their designers (unsure who decides what or who influences who within corporations and such, who’s “will power” dominates, but it is probably intractable just like everything else)) want you to follow, you are executing the behaviors the machines impose on you (in essence you are the computer and the programs are executing you, you are executing the programs the computers decide you must execute and such), but really society and the social construct imposes on everyone, as in all your friends are on facebook and talk through facebook, you must too otherwise you are “cut off”, you are “isolated” and so forth. And corporations want their workers to be always connected, always on, always “reachable” always in “Information Processing Mode”, always in “Communication Mode”, you are not allowed to be “isolated”, an “island”, “an individual” in essence, everyone must know what is on everyone’s elses “mind” and such. A kind of thought control.
    It is all a subtle change in the behaviors of Civilization, a gradual change from being yourself to being an extension of Information Machines, without anyone noticing or deciding, but simply playing along.

    About the military increasingly becoming a career path for homosexuals. Well, let’s just say, Ernst Rohm would be proud….and vindicated.
    http://www.ourcivilisation.com/smartboard/shop/festjc/chap11.htm

    Ernst Rohm once declared that he always took the opposite view (1). In saying this he was not merely acknowledging his spirit of contradiction and his self-confidence. The representative of a truly lost generation, he spoke in his self-revelation for those who came together after the First World War with vague but consistent feelings of opposition, of protest, in the Freikorps and armed nationalist associations, in order to transmute their incapacity for civilian life into extremist adventurism and criminality masquerading as nationalism. Active unrest, readiness to take risks, belief in force and irresponsibility were the essential psychological elements that lay behind the organized nihilism of those whose formative experience had been the war, with its underlying sense of the decline of a culture, and whose heroic myth was the spirit of the front-line soldier. Agents of a permanent revolution without any revolutionary idea of the future, they had no goal, but only restlessness; no idea of values that looked to the future, but only a wish to eternalize the values of the trenches. They fought on and marched on beyond the Armistice and the end of the war, not towards any vision of a new social order, but for the sake of fighting and marching, because the world appeared to them a battlefront and their rhythm was that of marching feet.
    “Marching is the most meaningful form of our profession of faith.”

    Career militarists are decidedly homosexual. Always have been. They respect and adore each other above all others, and that affectionate admiration translates physically when left unfettered.

    Chinese Spammer
    You can see that I am not the Chinese Spammer by his use of the Resource Box: this is a kit of items and entities Matter – Energy – Existence uses to manipulate itself, to feel itself, to come alive and acquire self consciousness of its structure and such. It is a box of concepts and structures any substrate composed of Information Potentially uses to self create and instantiate logical, symbol and connection structures, logics. Symbol Constructions, Matter to Existence Converters…
    But reality uses an Observer type of delimitation to express, manipulate and interact with what is imagined outside of an Observer type: nay, Information and logic segments are used continuously to saturate all points in space time, to give them a justification, since without logic and cause and effect and reasons, all Entities and Matter would appear to a Man Brain type of entity non existent, non decodable and such. But Matter must escape its own logic, must escape the logic it imposes upon itself as logics and logic segments are only inventions, arbitrary inventions, many other kinds of systems are possible; you cannot saturate all with logic and connect all with causes and effects and logic segments, everything escapes such points, just like all of the debates and ideas and and conflicts and controversies over the “Economy” and other things try to find out, figure out a way to overcome the only real reason and basis of everything and namely: the fight, the conflict between contrasting will powers, the conflict between two entities fighting for themselves, A against B, A wins and B loses, end of story, but all of the debates try to figure out a “way out”, try to find a logical segment that could solve “this problem” once and for all without understanding that the problem is structural, will always be because all things are fighting all others, all differences are wars between items, the fight creates existence and there is no way to figure out a way out.
    Hence the debates and theories and ideas, the “Politics”, the “Fights” will go on forever, ever more logic segments and ideas and attempts to figure out how to finally solve the conflicts will be created, when the conflict is the essence of all from the outset no matter what, conflict, fight, difference between any two items (and difference always means war and fight, although sometimes they accumulate and merge into one item only to fight another item that accumulates other differences that then decide to become one and the same and so forth, but always fighting and comparing itself to something else) is the elementary particle upon which all entities, all the ideas are made out of and no matter how many logic segments are instantiated, no matter how many ever longer and complex blocks of text, conversations, debates, no matter how much information you throw at the problems, you will never get anywhere, you will always stand still and in fact the Internet with all of its constantly increasing information tries desperately to change the nature of things and solve problems (mostly just people judging things, people love to judge, love to play the part of GOD, as all people think they are GOD and can judge when in all truth all judgments are wrong from the outset, all of what the Man Brain does is wrong by definition since wrong and right and better and worse doesn’t even exist), but it is all in vain and the more in vain it is the more information, debates, ideas, conflicts, controversies, politics and so forth will be thrown at it.
    Symbol Generators, Infinite Abstraction Recursions, Infinite Machines ever more complex, symbols and concepts and time…

The father (Spencer Tracy) is processing the implications of his daughter having brought home to dinner a man/boyfriend/fiance (gasp!) as black as the ace of spades.

    Good discrimination. And yes: few women have much too offer at the level of the mind. The sexes have their own separate cutlures – that’s understood in all real Cultures. They come together in the context of the family: wives, sisters, mothers, husbands, brothers, fathers. Thus the two cultures come together to form Human Society. It’s not a chaos or a free for all as Playboy Philosophy teaches. Hugh Hefner has done major work in destroying the West.
    Of course playboys despise their conquests – they are despicable. And the conquests feel they are conquering the men – and typically despise them too. Not to see these things is to dwell in unreality. That old canard of 1st wave feminism, the prostitute/madonna complex is true. Men do see it that way and that is the way it is. Women who have been around much are not good marriage prospects. Thus SMV (sexual market value) is inversely proportional to MMV (marriage market value). MMV does a nose dive after 30 and the playgirls desperately start calling those whom they rejected years ago. Little do they know that their MMV has gone down the more they played and waited for Mr Right (rich guy). What does the typical woman have to offer but her youth, beauty and sweetness (cheerful submission). The first two she squandered on having fun and the third was squelched by feminism.
    One caveat: after 30, when smv begins to go down, mmv goes down with it. No matter if she was a virgin or a slut, Nature bats last and she is no longer desirable either for a night or a marriage.

    Yes, thank you. Being a woman is a performance. Of course the personality itself is a persona or mask over the soul. But women put another mask over their real personality – to hide their ruthlessness and mercenary motives. Of course a woman could begin to fall in love with a man – and then see he would be unable to provide her with the things she so richly deserves. Thus a conflict is engendered in the woman – between her real personality and her mask. It’s time for the man to exit because almost certainly, the mask will win. Or it will torment her even if she she is able to put it away for awhile.
    Of course there are real or valid questions. If the woman is Traditional and want children, she has every right to find a good provider. This is where all this comes from. But for Career Women with lots of their own money and who don’t want kids to proceed like this just shows how the Mask can dominate the personality.

    Anybody on CFN use any of these: Google, Intel, PayPal, eBay, Yahoo? Migrants founded those enterprises. Immigration is a net benefit to the USA. – Assoka
    Let’s have a look at this.
    So what have we got? Out of a total of 12 founders of these companies, 6 were American born.
    The 3 founders of Intel were all born in the USA as was one of the two founders of Yahoo and one of the two founders of Google and one of the four founders of Paypal. But nevermind these quibbles.
    Now let’s have a peek at who the foreign born folks are. Hmmm, all guys who earned degrees in the USA. Now I know this is an unworthy thought but how many were illegal immigrants? If you can believe wikipedia, none.
    So these – cough – “migrants” or their parents respected the law of the USA, got their shit together and asked permission to immigrate. LEGAL immigrants apparently. With a fucking PASSPORT.
    And omg among them not a single hispanic doing the reconquista. Amazing that. Not one a semi-literate/illiterate, destitute peasant with no docs, no visa, no passport, no permission, no prospects. Or so it seems.
    So is your idea that the USA let in only people that are highly educated, that have parents that are highly educated, that immigrate legally? And exclude/deport the rest?
    We’re just dying to know.
    Founders
    Google:
    Larry Page: born in Lansing Michigan. His father, Carl Page, earned a Ph.D. in computer science in 1965. Both he and Page’s mother, Gloria, were computer science professors at Michigan State. – per wikipedia
    Sergey Brin: immigrated to the United States with his family from the USSR at the age of six. He earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Maryland, following in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps by studying mathematics as well as computer science. – per wikipedia
    Intel:
    Robert Noyce: born in Bulington Iowa. He was the son of the Rev. Ralph Brewster Noyce. His father was a 1915 graduate of Doane College, a 1920 graduate of Oberlin College and a 1923 graduate of Chicago Theological Seminary. He was also nominated for a Rhodes Scholarship. His mother, Harriet May Norton, a 1921 graduate of Oberlin College, – per wikipedia
    Gordon Moore: born in San Francisco, California. He received a B.S. degree in Chemistry from the U of C Berkeley in 1950 and a PhD in Chemistry and minor in physics from Caltech in 1954.- per wikipedia
    Arthur Rock: born in Rochester, NY is an American venture capitalist. He was an early investor in major firms including Intel, Apple. – per wikipedia and one published interview
    PayPal:
    Ken Howery is a co-founder and managing partner at Founders Fund. Howery graduated from Stanford University in 1998 with a BA in Economics. Sounds like he was born in the US but wikipedia gives no details.
    Luke Nosek is a Polish born American entreprenuer. Nosek received a BS in Computer Science from the U of Illinois. – per wikipedia
    Max Levchin: born in Ukraine, moved to the United States under political asylum and settled in Chicago in 1991. He earned his bachelor in Computer Science at the University of Illinois. – per wikipedia
    Peter Thiel: born to German parents in Germany, Thiel moved to the United States with his parents when he was a toddler. He received his BA in Philosophy from Stanford in 1989 and acquired a JD from Stanford Law School in 1992. – per wikipedia
    eBay:
    Pierre Omidyar was born in France to Iranian immigrants parents who had been sent by his grandparents to attend university there. His mother who did her doctorate in linguistics at the Sorbonne, is herself a well-known academic. His father was a Iranian surgeon. The family moved to the US when Omidyar was six. – per wikipedia
    Yahoo:
    David Filo: born in Wisconsin, earned a BS in Computer Engineering from Tulane University and an MS from Stanford University. – per wikipedia

    You still didn’t answer my questions.
    You cited several companies several of whose founders were immigrants as proof that immigration is beneficial to the USA. So what are we to conclude whern we look at the particulars of these individuals? Apparently none of them were illegal immigrants, all of them obtained university degrees, some have highly educated parents. So are we to conclude that you would accept only those that immigrate legally,that are highly educated, that preferably have highly educated parents? Would you exclude/deport the rest?

    No, I’m not telling you to sit. I’m saying you can’t really tell much from the stats page. We don’t know who Asoka is, we don’t know where Asoka is. He could be in the southwest in a mud hut, or in the Seattle Public Library, in mommy’s basement in Athens, Georgia, in Boulder, Colorado, in Austin, Texas, in Ecuador in a mud hut, in Virginia at DoD, in Olympia, Washington (maybe at Evergreen), in Brattleboro, Vermont at SIT, or in any of the locations that show up on the stats page. You are guessing in the dark. Looking for Asoka on the stats page is like looking for a black cat in a pitch dark room. But the speculation certainly adds relevant material to CFN and helps us prepare for the coming collapse, the one that should be here in 40, 41, or 42 years, or thereabout. Just around the corner.

    Seriously K-Dog, do you understand what all this data means? For example, the entry on me shows 6 return visits. What does that mean?. I clicked out of CFN and went to another site for awhile then came back. It still said 6 return visits. Also, it is tracking how long I am here. If I leave computer on, minimize CFN while I go take a walk for an hour will that hour add to my total time on CFN?

    Physical therapy for Bell’s palsy
    Four trials studied the efficacy of electrical stimulation (313 participants), three trials studied exercises (199 participants), and five studies compared or combined some form of physical therapy with acupuncture (360 participants). For most outcomes we were unable to perform meta-analysis because the interventions and outcomes were not comparable.
    For the primary outcome of incomplete recovery after six months, electrostimulation produced no benefit over placebo (moderate quality evidence from one study with 86 participants). Low quality comparisons of electrostimulation with prednisolone (an active treatment)(149 participants), or the addition of electrostimulation to hot packs, massage and facial exercises (22 participants), reported no significant differences. Similarly a meta-analysis from two studies, one of three months and the other of six months duration, (142 participants) found no statistically significant difference in synkinesis, a complication of Bell’s palsy, between participants receiving electrostimulation and controls. A single low quality study (56 participants), which reported at three months, found worse functional recovery with electrostimulation (mean difference (MD) 12.00 points (scale of 0 to 100) 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.26 to 22.74).Two trials of facial exercises, both at high risk of bias, found no difference in incomplete recovery at six months when exercises were compared to waiting list controls or conventional therapy. There is evidence from a single small study (34 participants) of moderate quality that exercises are beneficial on measures of facial disability to people with chronic facial palsy when compared with controls (MD 20.40 points (scale of 0 to 100), 95% CI 8.76 to 32.04) and from another single low quality study with 145 people with acute cases treated for three months where significantly fewer participants developed facial motor synkinesis after exercise (risk ratio 0.24, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.69). The same study showed statistically significant reduction in time for complete recovery, mainly in more severe cases (47 participants, MD -2.10 weeks, 95% CI -3.15 to -1.05) but this was not a prespecified outcome in this meta analysis.Acupuncture studies did not provide useful data as all were short and at high risk of bias. None of the studies included adverse events as an outcome.

    from the province, mainly in two aspects: one is the perfect sound level of the central and provincial financial system.It should be affirmed, the central province of the financial system is quite good.Since the 17th National Congress of the CPC, the State Ministry of finance through the deepening of reform, in general maintained relatively stable basis on the proper adjustment of the division of revenue and expenditure responsibilities at all levels of government.At the same time, increased the transfer of the payments, our province will be part of the transfer payment forms of local fiscal revenue, to ensure and improve people’s livelihood and other aspects of fiscal expenditure, effectively promote equal access to basic public services and regional coordinated development of the province.But a comprehensive assessment of the central province of the financial system, there are too many governmental affairs division is not clear, the transfer payment of the special transfer payment proportion is too large, the project, general transfer payment proportion is too small, still need to be further improved.

    how to change?The eighteen Party Congress report clearly pointed out: "to accelerate the reform of the taxation system, improve the central and local financial resources to match the power system, improve the public finance system construction to promote the equalization of basic public services and the main functional areas, the construction of local tax system, is conducive to the formation of structure optimization, social fair tax system."Based on this spirit, combined with the transformation of economic development of our province actual, I think the current fiscal and taxation system reform in our province, should be with the central synchronization, but also should be focused on.

    is another level, improve the financial system below the provincial level.Actively explore the basic financial guarantee mechanism, to further improve the reform of province governing county and township fiscal management.The key is to grasp the reorientation of finance function and the provincial public finance management is too long, the problem of insufficient manpower, means.Through deepening tax reform, improve the financial system below the provincial level, promote grass-roots government’s public service capacity and financial management level is improved by a large margin.

    , improve the central and local financial resources proportionate to the fiscal and taxation system

    is also further improve the existing tax system in the financial management system.The financial system is the norm from the central to the financial distribution relationship between local government institutional arrangements.A sound financial system, is not only to promote the region so that the coordinated economic and social development of the financial system security, but also improve the important premise of the public finance system and the market economy system.

    finance is "the mother of politics".Public finance has the stable economy, resource allocation, income distribution, supervision and management functions, is the material basis for the government to perform its functions, the system guarantee, policy tools and means of supervision.In implementing the spirit of the eighteen process, the significant responsibility of all-round, side, from small to large to kindergarten development "beautiful China", both are closely linked inseparable.Especially in our province to speed up the perfection of the market economic system and the transformation of the mode of economic development, more important support function.However, this must be a new round of tax reform in depth, in order to make it more adapted to the current economic and social development needs, in order to better play a new role.Reform in finance and taxation

    I also have the identical setup on an Acer Aspire D150 which I’ll take with me if I leave the doghouse for a long time. You could pick up one of those pretty cheap on EBAY I think. That one was under $300 new several years ago.

    Written by AdministratorFriday, 23 January 2009 07:44A Bright Future for Solar Energy: An Alternative Energy Source

    I was first introduced to solar energy in the movie, Race the Sun with James Belushi and Halley Berry in the lead. It was a story about low- income and under achieving Hawaiian students encouraged by their teacher to join the Solar Car race. In the movie, a car shaped like a cockroach and covered with solar panels used the sun’s rays as an alternative energy source to run the car.

    Solar energy is the light and the heat from the sun. Solar energy is free and its supplies are unlimited. There are n air and water pollution caused about by using solar energy. But there is still some impacts on the environment although indirect.

    Photovoltaic cells used to convert sunlight into electricity uses silicon and also produce some waste materials. There are also large solar thermal farms and these farms can also be harmful to the environment and desert ecosystems if not properly managed.

    Solar energy can be used on different aspects. Solar energy can be used in agriculture. Greenhouses (which is entirely different from greenhouse gas) convert solar light to heat to be maximized in enhancing the growth of plants and crops. Greenhouses has been around since the Roman times and modern greenhouses were built in Europe in 16th century. Greenhouses are still an important part of horticulture nowadays,

    Daylight systems are also being used to maximize the energy released by the sun. It is used to provide interior illumination replacing the artificial lighting. Daylight systems include sawtooth roofs, light shelf, skylights, and light tube. Daylight systems when they are properly implemented can reduce lighting-related energy consumption by 25 percent.

    Solar energy can also be developed into solar thermal technologies which can be used for water heating, space heating, space cooling and process heat generation. Solar energy can also be used to distil water and make saline or brackish water potable or drinkable.

    The solar water disinfection or SODIS involves exposing water-filled plastic polyethylene terephthalate or PET bottles. This process takes a long time, since the exposure time varies on the weather conditions. It requires a minimum of six hours to two days during days with overcast conditions,NFL JERSEYS. Currently, there are two million people in developing centuries use SODIS for their daily drinking water needs.

    Also sunlight can be converted into electricity using photovoltaics or PV. PV has been mainly used to power small and medium-sized things like a calculator powered by a single solar cell. There are homes powered by photovoltaics. Using solar energy for water and space heating is the most widely use application of solar energy. While ventilation and solar air heating is also growing in popularity.

    There are three main ways in using solar energy. The main way of using and converting solar energy is by using the solar cells. Solar cells convert light directly into electricity. Solar cells are also called photovoltaic or photoelectric cells.

    Meanwhile, solar furnaces use a huge array of mirrors to concentrate on the Sun’s energy into a small space and produced very high temperatures. Solar furnaces are also called “solar cookers”. A solar cooker can be used in hot countries to cook food.

    With all the benefits if using solar energy, there is still a downside for this alternative energy source. It does not work during night time. The cost of setting up solar stations is expensive, but the benefit of using solar energy when accumulated is so much more,Nike NFL Jerseys.

  470. asoka.. January 24, 2013 at 9:03 pm #

    K-Dog, here are four specific suggestions for getting started on ending homelessness, instead of wasting your time here:
    1) Get a moratorium on the disbursement of any further HOPE VI monies. The requirements for obtaining such a grant must be amended. In the first instance, the demolition of housing should be a last resort. Many units have been family homes for generations, and the immoral destruction of these homes must end.
    2) In those instances where rebuilding is the best option, the program must require a one-to-one replacement of any demolished unit.
    3) Furthermore, these new units must be reserved for low-income families who depend on public housing.
    4) Finally, the siting of additional or new units must be in urban centers with access to transit and jobs and not in undesirable and remote areas that burden residents with crippling commutes.

    All of this reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend this afternoon at tea. We were discussing the internet and the “Google” search. I was telling her that I use it for just about everything. She shook her head at me (she’s about 13 years younger) and said, “Then you’re a fool. Don’t you know that “they” are monitoring you and everyone that uses “Google”?
    I replied, “You mean you don’t think that ‘they’ are monitoring your every movement on the internet?” She thus continued the shaking at the head at me being an imbecile. I got up, said goodbye, and slowly walked away. I try to pride myself when I’m intellectually over my head – which is most of the time.
    Oh, by the way, we got on the subject by commenting on how the property she owns is readily seen via a google map. She was really stressed about it because she has vast amounts of acreage and she was concerned about its location being so readily seen on line.
    I don’t think she’s a prepper, but like so many these days, she and her husband have secured a nice stretch of farmable land. On it, they own a sustainable style home capable of holding their entire extended family. Probably 12-16 people, give or take.
    For what it’s worth, that’s my two cents for now, live (for now) from lovely Greensboro, NC. (timestamp 9:02, location: Brussels, Belgium)

    “It seems obvious to me that in the, say, four years ahead (one presidential term), we will not come to grips with any of the forces of reality bearing down on us.”
    Kunstler’s predictions are likely very close to the mark, but wrong timetable. Fracking has bought our society a stay of execution for 20-30 years.
    The collapse may hit just in time for me not to get committed to a nursing home in my 80s because they will cease to exist. Poor me, a merciful death along with a life lived entirely during a miraculous period of human history built on the use of fossil fuels.
    Then most of the human race will die off, and in all likelihood a new golden age of mankind will emerge at some point in the future, one with a small fraction of the unsustainable human population the earth is groaning to support currently.
    And it is striking the profound injustice of it all. We lived in an era of unimaginable wealth, while the younger generation today face living (more likely dying) in something akin to a world war environment, but a war that has no hope of ending for decades if not centuries.

    Well, I see it’s business as usual here on CFN with >60% of the traffic either initiated by Asoka or responding to him. How many times do I have to tell y’all … DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS?!!
    Now that that’s outta the way, on to interesting business. What do you call an economy where real wages are falling sharply, workforce participation is at 40+ year lows, velocity of money is LOWER than 2008 yet … inflation is now way above the Fed’s target rate and high-end real estate (like the Hamptons) is selling like gangbusters?
    You call it STAGFLATION. The one in the late 1970s was bad and took many years (actually about six years after Nixon closed the gold window) to ignite. Only our overall economic condition was MUCH better in the 1978-1979 timeframe. We had no real Federal debt, high workforce participation, and reasonable M1 velocity.
    As those of you who’ve been here for a while know, I’m a fervent “Black Swan” investor only I’ve warned people here for some time (though JHK doesn’t get it) that you should NOT SHORT THE STOCK MARKET. With Federal annual debt at 10% of GDP, the Fed still engaging in QEinfinity, and the rich finally stopping hoarding and starting to spend, get ready for slow inflation. No, it won’t start tomorrow but it’s now as inevitable as Spring grass. So … buy gold?? Nah.
    Probably the best long term (and I mean your MINIMUM hold period is five years) investment being handed to you now is to buy a fund that SHORT’S THE LONG TREASURY. There are many funds which do this in the Rydex and Profunds families. I like RRPIX. The US is certainly going to have another sovereign debt rating downgrade, we’re too far out on the debt limb for any solution but QEinfinity, and China is seriously threatening to dump Treasuries strictly based on our problems.
    The 30-year Treasury has a yield around 3.1% and as inflation slowly, ever so slowly, trickles in, that’s going to look ridiculous. And it is. Maybe you think gold is going to $3000/ounce but I think it’s likelier than in five years the Long Bond will yield at least six percent … which will return more than 125% in RRPIX.
    ECRI’s inflation readings are pointing upwards, the Fed is worried about the surprising latest numbers, and ECRI’s GDP growth curve is also pointing sharply upward (though the industries that are growing aren’t the ones you’d like to grow … they’re the ones that’ll cost you like Pharma). I believe shorting the Long Bond will outperform whatever gold or the stockmarket do.

    LOL!! Don’t pay attention to Asoka, pay attention to me. I have sound investment advice….short treasuries, not stocks. Too funny. So many are soooooo concerned, and yet, the trajectory appears irreversible. Why is that, do you suppose?
    You can take your investment advice and shove it up your arse. It’s not only not worth a hill of beans, but it’s duplicitous and deceptive, and only meant to enrich you at the expense of all others. That’s what investment is….any investment before, now, and forever more.

    NUMBER SYSTEMS
    Connection between information chunks in minds and feelings, emotions, meanings, expectations and such. The programming of a mind to associate all information chunks to possible pain/pleasure or feelings or expectations of pleasure and pain even though only a very small amount of real impulses triggering real pain/pleasure and feelings (ever occurs or happens anyways) is implied by most events and endeavors, almost as if it were a completely abstract world, almost all abstract, indistinguishable from any other set of bits in minds, to any other arrangement of bits or any other succession of bits, to any organized bits according to time or space as it is all equal and the same except for what it could possibly imply in terms of pain/pleasure, a sequence of events imagined but almost never actuated, only seldomly but those seldom times gives reality to all the sequences of expected and imagined and feared or hoped for events, events that never will occur.
    So value and importance is always just an association of a set of bits with imagined feelings and occurences and events. It is all just an arbitrary programming of neural networks to associate some bits of information to some emotions or possibilities and hence the creation of importance and value, the totally arbitrary and invented and programmed for no reason at all of things which are good as opposed to bad, which are valuable as opposed to useless, which count and are important as opposed to what is nothing at all: the measurement, the measurements according to values and the creation of NUMBERS to actually fix them on a scale: the amount, greater and less than, bigger or smaller, bigger is always better than smaller, hence the obsession of our Civilization for numbers and statistics, the GDP, the number of items sold, the amount of money, billions of dollars and billions of smartphones and trillions of dollars and so forth but almost always just imagined, just invented, rarely corresponding to any reality and such. And natural evolution and Physics and the laws of physics are also obsessed with quantity and numbers, natural evolution wants an animal to “last as long as possible”, to “last longer” hence be more succcessful nt terms of “species” and such but who said longer is better than shorter ? who said that anything is better than snything else ?
    The distinction, the numbers: but Matter and Mass Energy and the Abstraction Kit of Symbols self actuating themselves and becoming alive and looking (at itself) and feeling (itself) and deciding to be something more than just idle, dead, without events, as that is what the universe does when it creates its own observers, it invents its own Observers (and invents its own arbitrary inside (the observer ?…) and outside (external world ?…) (delimitations abound) and fake and imaginary absolute laws of physics: but how can they be absolute and imagined outside of the universe when they are the universe itself, the laws were invented as soon as the universe decided to randomly invent any random observer (observer of itself ? and why does it need to look at a part of itself ? why not invent anything as part of itself ? why does it even have to be real or even a part of itself ? who cares!) programmed according to any random arbitrary input – output reaction set, as all laws are just a set of input and output associations, hence infinitely programmable, anything as incredible and wild as imaginable is just as real as anything else, hence invent your own wild laws of physics, wild new sense organs, wild new universes, wild new emotion feeling contraptions, and sense organ feelings contraptions and so on, the wilder and crazier the better) but really by doing this creates all of itself and its own laws and its laws of physics and the experience set any configuration of given observers the universe chooses from time to time to have.
    So how does the universe set the numbers ? how does it establish big from small, how large must the orders of magnitude be (from 10^-200 to 10^200) ? It doesn’t know what numbers it wants to choose, or if even things must be disjoint to be counted individually as numbers at all, or merged into a monolithic block of only one entity, or many or trillions and the decision to what numbers and amounts to establish is random, wild, arbitrary and the next new observer the universe decides to invent and self impose upon itself may have completely different number sets, different orders of magnitude (from 10^-200000 to 10^200000), different processors and so forth, but all numbers are arbitrary and invented, and even the concept of numbers itself and amounts is arbitrary and even all of the further abstractions, an infinite level of ever more complex and incredible abstractions as like: if 0 is a word, 1 is a number what is 2 or 567 or minus 34566, the abstractions are so deep and incredible, so unimaginable it cannot be behold by any observer processor type but we can denote it and make it come alive, ever more complex and incredibly deep and surprising ideas, contructions, abstractions, machines, symbol sets, symbols becoming alive and such.

    Just read that Janet Napolitano, the head of Homeland Insecurity, is warning of an imminent cyber attack here in the good, old FUSA. No doubt another ploy to try to get a euphamistically-named cyber security bill shoved through congress that will allow the government more access to all of our information. It failed last year so they’re giving it another shot. Glory glory hallelujah.

    Thanks for finding “view stats,” and thanks for directing me to it. And thanks for digging into it, and “outing” our Recurrent DoD mole for us!
    Those of you who enjoy this sort of computer sleuthing probably already know this – but manipulating the “date ranges” inside of View Stats can produce some interesting results and confirmations.
    Now, K, as to whether Soaker is
    1. Doing his paid job DoD job, here or
    2. Wasting time on his paid DoD job, here
    Well – you’re the lead attorney on this case, you’ve put in the hours, and eventually I’ll defer to your judgement. But, right now we’re at the brainstorming stage – so let me add a couple of contrary thoughts.
    The DoD operates on some version of “mission objectives,” right? What would be The Soaker Hose’s declared mission re his activities @ CFN?
    “Operative (asoka..) will disrupt dialog on CFN comment threads at all times and manners possible. Operative will at all times maintain the “truth” of cornucopian assertions. The desirability of high US immigration shall be a particular focus for operative.
    Subject only to the forgoing, Operative Asoka..shall endeavor to “fuck up” the dialog
    at Cluster Fuck Nation – by any and all means possible”
    For your eyes only – SecDef
    Not exactly a JamesBondStyle license to kill, is it?
    More in a while – I’ve got a lot of irons in the fire, this morning.
