Pure Americana

      At the core of the manifold paradoxes swirling around American governance is the harsh reality that we just can’t keep running our shit the way it has evolved to run. Neither candidate for president is honest enough to spell this out and indeed both act as though easy work-arounds exist for sustaining the unsustainable. 
     In the case of Mr. Obama, it’s paying limitless TBTF ransom money to overgrown banks to avoid the constant threats of collapse that they whisper in his ear – essentially a hostage racket. A policy of managed contraction is probably the only way to avoid unmanaged and uncontrollable collapse, and would include dismantling all the TBTF banks, but Mr. Obama won’t acknowledge the imperative of contraction and the difficulties it represents. So he stands by hoping that Fed Chair Bernanke will keep shoveling ZIRP privileges, “twist’ ops, bail-outs, and bond buying interventions to the “primary dealers” – a line-up of flimflams so abstruse that all the Paul Krugmen-type economists who ever lived might puzzle over them around the clock until the end of time and never unravel their inner workings.
     Mr. Romney subscribes to a set of fantasies out of the Chamber of Commerce playbook that all the familiar activities of status quo wealth generation could easily continue via the marvelous invisible hands of unfettered corporatism, if only the deadweight of government restrictions and the squandering of borrowed public “money” were swept away. His choice of running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan, is meant to embody all those notions — but more than that appeal to the inchoate mob of Tea Partiers who want to get the gubment’s hands off their goshdarn medicare. Anyway, the net effect of Mr. Romney’s business fantasies are so inadequate to the contractive forces underway that they would amount to pissing up the massive rope of history in a hurricane of events.
     So, as the election race sets up for its terminal lap, expect a completely incoherent debate over the fate of the nation from a couple of characters who personify all the hapless contradictions of the public they will be pandering to. Romney’s story appeals to me a little more in its strange psychological dimensions; Obama’s role as a living, breathing wish-fulfillment of the liberal imagination is too obvious in comparison.
     First there is the issue of Mitt’s family. His Dad, George Romney, was among many avatars of big business (it used to be called) in its post-WW2 heyday, as CEO of American Motors, the car company that was a clownish fourth to the “big three” of that day (GM, Ford, and Chrysler). American Motors produced joke cars for losers, foremost the Rambler, featuring seats that folded down flat with the implied use as a rolling bedroom. George Romney got himself elected governor of Michigan at a time when the state was so flush with revenue it would have been impossible to misgovern – though he set up the conditions for a later spectacular collapse into the ash-heap of broken dreams it represents today. He battled Richard Nixon for the Republican nomination in 1968 and became a laughingstock by claiming he had been “brainwashed” by US officials and generals into supporting the Vietnam War on a visit there in 1967. It was an unfortunate remark, coming only a few years after the release of a popular movie called The Manchurian Candidate, about a Red Chinese plot to use brainwashed Americans to subvert a US presidential election. Game over for George.
      So, in this age of creeping dynastic ambition, of Kennedys, Bushes, Browns, here we have another case of a son reenacting the family ambition. You’d think the American public would be getting a little sick of this routine, that is, if we were really the independent and “exceptional” people we pretend to be. But, alas, here you just get the worst natural human tendencies to institutionalize social hierarchy amplified by the idiotic celebrity culture of mass-media, pointing to the conclusion that we supposed lovers of “freedom” and “liberty” crave domination by hereditary rulers. The cheekiness of it all by such “regular guy” phonies like Mitt would be enough to provoke a real political upheaval in a nation less medicated than ours.
     Then there is the question of Mitt Romney’s so-called faith, the preposterous fairy tale called Mormonism. Nobody in the news business today really wants to state plainly what a laughable package of childish incongruities this belief system is – though Adam Gopnik came close recently via a scholarly disquisition in a recent New Yorker that left out most of the comedy – because it is a cardinal rule of our anemic culture that any and all belief systems are equally valid. But the story of Mormon “prophet” Joseph Smith is so rich with inane occult hustling that the Coen Brothers would be hard pressed to satirize it. Of course, it is the perfect religion for a man who now vehemently denounces the very same health care reform policy that he championed a few years ago as governor of Massachusetts.
      Anyway, bear in mind that, whatever else is going on out there right now in the three-ring circus of presidential politics, events are in the driver’s seat, not personalities, and the seeming quiescence of things on the late summer scene is an illusion that will soon dissipate.

    As to Romney’s Mormonism I say give the guy a break.
    First of all, from my perspective most all popular religions are rather preposterous.
    Secondly, if you are born into a Mormon culture, you are going to be expected be a Mormon yourself. Sure you could disown the religion, but that would be disowning your support network and would likely greatly limit your career opportunities, etc. I sincerely doubt Romney takes the hocus pocus very seriously.

    Of course what is truly awe inspiring is to hear the same Republicans of all stripes (save Ron Paul) praise the $1 Trillion per YEAR costs of War, the biggest part by far of US Federal income tax expenditures. Somehow spending a trillion dollars on F-35’s , the continuing comedy of the Star Wars missile defense which cannot work being deployed decades after it was proved a farce, and of course the constant new wars the US continues to lose. Last week saw yet another attack on US soldiers by the very Afghan soldiers we are supposed to be training to continue the Afghan Occupation allegedly in our interests. How can the whole chorus of Corporate media, pundits and analysts somehow conjure away a $1 Trillion per year wasted on War and pretend it does not exist?

    It is mind-boggling!

    Thanks, JHK
    The whole issue of the public sector is at issue. The idea was that there is a commons which represents “We the people” and a governing body we elect to represent us in the decision making to keep this Commons running.
    How the Commons is being attacked and misrepresented as something alien to the people is most fascinating.
    Somehow we find that govt represents a handful of monopolies and lobbyists who are flush with money to get these guys elected and now every now and then when an election comes due, we become important for a moment in time.
    Everyone mouths their talking points and tries to coerce us all to vote against our own interests and the low-info folks go with who speaks with the greatest conviction.
    So, tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies continues…
    Don’t forget we have more oil than Saudi Arabia and we will be enegy-independent.

    I expect, if ro-Money and Payl Ruan win, with a fully Repub Congress, we will have 35-40% unemployment before 2013 is out. That might take a FF by some consortium of fascist globalists, but why not, they know the whole thing is coming down, and the only thing left is gutting what little remains of real wealth. Should O win, I expect his continued trajectory rightward, the killer that he is. Either way, expect Armageddon in the Middle East, the last grasp for oil and the final conflagration, before epic civilizational collapse.
    Unless Americans wake the fuck up and realize what is happening. Maybe global food shortages will be the clarion call?

    So why isn’t the energy crisis the hot topic in these final days of the presidential campaign? Perhaps the public is kept in the dark because the wealthy elite need time to pair out who the profiteers will be and in what order they will stand in line to reap those profits? Corporations leverage almost everything on secrecy before positioning a new product on the market. This is essentially the same purpose behind this apparent lack of concern. And yes, there are conspiracies! Conspiracies galore! Anyone who proclaims otherwise is either an idiot or has a walk-on part in the conspiracy. – http://www.Thesisa.org/

    Jim, we used to have a Rambler. It was a damned good car. Had one of those slant six engines that ran forever. Even used those engines in tractors as I recall. The USA began its long decline just about the time when American Motors Corporation ceased production of Ramblers. Think there is a connection?

    Mr. Kunstler (Alive and mending-fellow, no less!), you write:
    “So, in this age of creeping dynastic ambition, of Kennedys, Bushes, Browns, here we have another case of a son reenacting the family ambition. You’d think the American public would be getting a little sick of this routine, that is, if we were really the independent and “exceptional” people we pretend to be.

    Thank you for pointing out this massive disconnect in what passes for “thinking” in our superior and sober-minded citizenry. ‘Tis a wond’rous thing to behold.
    And thinking of medication, it appears your regimen of prescriptions has not dulled any of the keen edge of your unique phrase-ology. We are well-pleased and thankful! ;o)

    Annabel Park, founder of Coffee Party USA, described the choice between Obama and Romney as being one between disappointment and terror. I don’t know if there’s anyone who could tell the truth about our situation and get elected right now, at least as President, so I’ll pick disappointment. As for Mormonism, my dad went to the only Catholic high school in Utah at the time and my mom and sister live in Park City. Don’t get me started.
    Speaking of disappointment in the state of our national decline, one of Jim’s favorite tropes is to deride the tackiness of working class youth, mocking their tattoos, slovely dress, poor physical shape, and general stupidity, and wishing that someone would come along and whip them into shape. The most read story of the week ended up being about exactly that, although in a very perverse way. Late last year, the FBI declared that the fans of the Insane Clown Posse were a “hybrid gang.” After several months of their fans being busted and sentenced as gang members, along with loss of merchandise sales as stores like Hot Topic refuse to sell “gang apparel,” ICP has had enough. They’re establishing a legal aide service for their fans and planning to sue the FBI to get the designation removed. Detroit represent!
    While Jim never did get around to discussing the Olympics, I finally did, as well as updates on gas prices, Americans driving less, Michigan’s election on Tuesday, sustainability videos, and the Green Cruise, the Sierra Club’s answer to the Dream Cruise, Detroit’s celebration of “Happy Motoring.” With that, I bid you “Happy Motoring–for now-from Detroit!”

    We have a clear choice in this election. Death by hanging or death by terminal disease. May we have the wisdom to choose wisely. Seriously, O may have his heart int the right place, but is powerless in the face of his corporate funders. Romney is content to plunder the planet in his pursuit of pointless power. His own ego is all that matters.
    Not a peep from either candidate about global warming and the fact that we are probably started a period of endless drowth.

    “American Motors produced joke cars for losers, foremost the Rambler, featuring seats that folded down flat with the implied use as a rolling bedroom.”
    Jeez, now it’s particular makes of automobile that are getting the JHK treatment. Our family grew up with Ramblers, both a big wagon and a “Classic” that had those seats that folded down, the ones derided by Kunstler. Rambler was one of the first “economy” cars that was smaller and was promoted as having better gas mileage. We always loved our Ramblers. OK, so the “Pacer” was a little odd, but it was no worse than a Pinto. And the Javelin was a cool muscle car. Why dump on Rambler?

    Glad you pointed to the preposterous-ness of these various rube-traps.
    Personally though, I think it’s long past time to stop giving breaks to those who neither deserve or appreciate them. Couple that with Al Klein’s comment above, and we just might have a recipe for facing some harsh realities.

    “events are in the driver’s seat, not personalities..”
    James this is what makes all the financial alchemy, and political ‘job creation’ postering so inane. Niether ‘candidate’ has a clue how to fix the unfixable or they are just telling us what we want to hear, as all politicians sooner or later do. I have this discussion with ‘folks’ a lot and leave them with this one thought: whether you believe it or whether you don’t matters not at all: permanent contraction is upon us and if we don not manage it, IT will manage us.

    “…the preposterous fairy tale called Mormonism.”
    I just don’t see how Mormonism is any more “preposterous” than most religions that ascribe special powers to long-dead individuals and make claims of “truth” for their particular beliefs. How can immaculate conceptions, rising from the dead, and various supernatural “miracle” performances be seen as somehow more “valid?” Why is the thought of an atheist president more ludicrous than that of a Mormon one? Because nobody wants to acknowledge that, in the whole scheme of things (including our relatively short reign as the #1 primates), we’re really not that important (nor admirable).

  22. RyeBeachBum August 13, 2012 at 10:41 am #

    Jim I have to take exception that all AMC produced was joke cars for losers. Over twenty years ago I bought a 83 CJ7 that is still running with over 150K miles. It has had some work done but it is still running while many far newer of the cars built by the so called big three have long ago been related to the scrap yard.

    About this week’s essay:
    1. I felt it was weak in the rant department and the rants are the main draw for me.
    2. It’s Krugman not Krugmen.
    3. There was no new vocabulary although I did have to look up “inchoate” to reaffirm my idea of its definition.
    4. I did enjoy Jim’s forthrightness as to the absurdities of Mormon beliefs. Of course, as much could be said of all religious belief systems … although, come to think of it, Mormonism does kind of take the cake.

    Since we are (theoretically) hiring the next president in a few months…..and let’s just pretend that we as voters have any political power left after the corporate-class-rape of our republic….I have some thoughts about the R&R ticket (read that, “rest & recreation” for the wealthy and privileged):
    As hiring manager I am hard pressed to find any actual “work experience” in either Romney’s or Ryan’s resume. Both born into privilege and neither never having had to face a real hardship (oh, poor Ryan lost his father when he was a teenager and responded in exactly the opposite way one might imagine…instead of becoming a more empathetic, humane person he embraces Any Rand’s “objectivism” fake-philosophy….which is just as absurd and ridiculous as Romney’s mormonism….oh and he did cash those Social Security checks at the time al la Rand) neither would know how to create jobs because neither has ever had a real job.

    The ongoing blather from the mouthpieces of the two political parties are constantly asking us to believe that they can “fix” this mess and get us back on the road to 1950.
    We are being compelled to offer a realistic vision that breaks through the illusion of normalcy to reset the expectations of what is possible. But it is not enough to have a vision. Without a plausible bridge a strategy to get there, few people will leave the familiarity of what is for the sake of what could be.

    My Dad had one back in the early 70’s. Flathead 6 and good gas mileage. The fold down seats were a real plus at the drive-in theater. Loser car ? They just couldn’t compete with the advertising budgets of the Big 3. They had some pretty hot but again unknown muscle cars. My 69 Chevelle 396/375 managed to get it’s doors blown off one night by an AMX with manufacturers plates. At the time I was running 12:55 thru the mufflers at Detroit Dragway. The AMX got me by 4 car lengths out on Plymouth Rd. in Detroit. Loser cars ?

    Still,…….., Kunstler, like everyone else, seems to have missed the fact that — no less than the shenanigans on Wall Street — our national housing stock value has been kept proped up by outrageously high immigration and refugee ceilings (along with unenforced immigration laws). Without the constant pressure from this much of the housing stock of our aging inner cities and suburbs would be condemed for what they are — sub code standard.
    No surprise, huh? Since the deindustrialization of America realestate has become the chief leg upon which our economy stands. Then too, rising population translates to more consumers, especially with the high birth rate among immigrants.
    Ah yes,….that too is relied upon for driving the subsequent political pressure to ease environmental restrictions protecting wilderness and habitats, giving access to all those “bottled up” resources in public lands.
    Well what th’hell; we’re just “human capital” in the global market calculus, right?
    Uh,…….wonder what happened to the notion of sovereign nationhood? Was it bundled with all other social values exchanged in the deal with trans national corporatehood on the promise that the “natural force of free global markets” would take care of us?
    Yeah sure, that makes sense; no longer a need for the “sovereign citizen” classification. That way we’re relieved of the chore of directing a national destiny separate from that which the “natural force” of free global economics (and quarterly returns on corporate investment) delivers.
    Ah yes, just human capital. Feels good, huh?

    From, ‘Better late than never’ department:
    I have to object to Gough Triangle being offered as the ‘Eyesore of the Month’ for June. First of all, it’s my old nabe: it’s a part of a disappearing industrial New York it all its gritty, noisy, smelly, nasty lead-painted glory. Out of view are locations of marine paint companies, ship chandleries (both industries are gone) and the City proper’s last remaining working cargo pier. (There is another @ Howland Hook on Staten Island.)
    The waterfront in Brooklyn was indeed the real ‘city of big shoulders’ for over 100 years before it became magnet for condo developers.
    A couple of blocks away is Brooklyn’s Cobble Hill district w/ small row houses @ $1million and up.
    If you want to whack New York city there are plenty of new buildings that qualify as eyesores of the century. The new ‘So-called Freedom Tower’ (which looks like a gigantic syringe) is a good place to start.

    Jim writes, “So, in this age of creeping dynastic ambition…”. Hey Jim, when has there ever not been an age of creeping dynastic ambition? Nepotism is the unfortunate step-child of politics (well, at least one of them) and has been around for millenia. It does make for a good line though.

    So then, you haven’t noticed the gathering [some might say, exponential] speed with which events are changing/appearing?

    Is that a new word, “drowth”? Is it defined as growing drought? If so, it is apt for the current situation in which we find ourselves.

  44. Schwerpunkt August 13, 2012 at 11:38 am #

    I don’t think we will see a gathering of events in the coming months. It seems that we are just in it for the ride and will stop at the usual roadside attractions. The Alligator Farm, the pick-your-own farm, the largest tin hat or baked goods.
    Interesting that we have these Bush/Clinton/Kennedy etc generations that perhaps are the only things we recycle.
    On another note, I believe the Manchurian Candidate did not come out in theaters for decades from when it was made due to some “contract issues.” I’m too lazy to IMDB my facts. Or google anything else for that matter.

    Wide,
    My dad also had a 1956 Rambler Classic. He bought it new, I still have a memory of going to pick it up. I was three at the time. He later got a Rambler wagon, and my mom got the Classic. It ran for years and would start in the coldest weather. However, the body was mostly rust by the time we sold it. The next owner had a minor accident and the body fell apart. My mom later had two Americans, one a convertible.
    As for the seats, I remember going on a Cub Scout camping trip with my dad, we didn’t have a tent, but those fold down seats really were comfortable.

    “Why is the thought of an atheist president more ludicrous than that of a Mormon one?”
    If only an atheist could get elected. I have always said that a convicted pederast would have a better chance at getting elected (to anything) than an atheist and I still believe it to be true. Merkins would rather have that warm, fuzzy feeling that their next con-man believed in some kind of sky-god than to not believe in any at all. It’s as though the whole age of enlightenment, the movement which helped to shape the founding of this once-better nation, never happened.

    My dad bought a used Rambler in 67 after they stole his Oldsmobile 98 (philly area). He bought it because he was pissed off and discouraged so he thought no one would rob a crappy Rambler. I remember the shape at the back, triangle like…

    Confusionism, I wonder if you realize how funny you are when you say, “Merkins would rather have that warm, fuzzy feeling….”
    I know what you mean, but “merkin” has a meaning going back hundreds of years:
    Noun: merkin mur-kin
    1.A wig for pubic hair; a covering for the pubic area
    Now when women and men get tired of all the bushwacking we might see a revival of merkins.

    “It’s as though the whole age of enlightenment, the movement which helped to shape the founding of this once-better nation, never happened.”
    What’s frustrating to me is how a lot of people tend to pick and choose what kind of enlightenment ideals suit their needs. They want (and get) modern medical technology and highly trained doctors to save their relatives, but when they do get saved, they chock it up to a “miracle” and talk about how God will never let them down, etc. As “someone” once said, they “cling to their bibles and guns.”
    I was recently listening to a forum of writers broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation where one of the panelists declared that the two aspects of human culture he most wanted to get rid of were “religion and patriotism.” All the other panelists agreed. I wondered how on earth such people could survive in America or try to run for office.

    Jim, pay the fuck attention. You harken from a tribe that followed a man who descended from a mountain carrying tablets with “rules from God.” So be it. ALL religions can be picked apart with examples of incongruities and inanities.
    George humped third rate cars? Well at least he stuck around and helped his family grow and prosper.
    I don’t give a fuck what these guys daddies did and what their religion, or lack there of happens to be. One of the two candidates is a proven, lying, leftist, community organizing, economic disaster. The other is not. I know who I am voting for and why.
    You can trot out all of the silly shit you wish to attempt to put these candidates on an equal footing to try and make the case that there is no difference between the two. There is one small problem…there are HUGE differences.

    I had a Pacer!
    Very roadable.
    Whenth the odometer hit 100K,it began to disintegrate.
    First,a tiny crack appeared in its enormous windshield.Every day it got bigger,until the entire passenger side was one big spider web.
    Next the radio just died.
    The window crank came off in my hand.The splines were plastic and worn off.All junkyard part were in the same shape.Vise Grips to the rescue.
    The exhaust manifold cracked.
    “BLUBBA BLUBBA BLUBBA.”
    7 bolts=7 different tools,some of which I never knew existed-Crow’s foot gooseneck!
    The catch that held the driver’s seat snapped.Step on the gas and slide backward;step on the brake and slam into the steering wheel.
    The huge door had a normal sizede hinge hich egged out,s the door dropped about 3″ every time you opened it and you had to lift it up to close it.

    And to make matters worse, Tancred, many bufoons in this country – probably parroting what they hear (because they certainly don’t read) from those in office and those on the airwaves – have mixed the two, religion and partiotism, into one slimy concoction. I just saw the movie The Campaign yesterday and Will Ferrell’s character just spouts the words America, Jesus and Freedom because his audience eats it up. I laughed when he said it but maybe I should have cried. We are truly fucked.

    JHK says “it is a cardinal rule of our anemic culture that any and all belief systems are equally valid.”
    This kind of generalization may apply to some non-thinking Americans. Intelligent Christians like Obama have read Rudolf Bultmann and have abandoned supernaturalism in favor of a “demythologized” gospel.
    All belief systems are not equally valid. Some are more logical and reasonable than others. For example, even Ozone would have to agree with Buddhism’s first Noble Truth: Life is suffering and reality WILL bitch slap you up the side of the head.
    Fortunately, Buddhism does not stop there. There are three more foundational truths in Buddhism, all based on human experience, not supernatural fairy tales. JHK, you are painting with too broad a brush.

    I come from generations of Mormons on both sides, so I have a certain perspective to offer.
    Thankfully, my parents left the church, and a few years later, left that gibbering puddle of inbred inanity you call a country.
    The saddest thing about modern Mormonism is actually well-reflected in the whole of the USA–they are stone-cold, stark-raving, foaming-at-the-mouth Socialists, and yet no one dare speak its name.
    The church has an entire welfare system. They also collectively buy foodstuffs, and have cooperative canning kitchens for preserving food. Joseph Smith ran for President on a Socialist ticket. Mormons take great care of the other members of their community.
    The Mormons will no doubt get crazier and more insular in a contracting world, but they are going to do a whole lot better than most of us.

    I drove a 1968 Rambler Wagon during my college years. It had an in-line and 6-cylinder Jeep engine; I could fix almost anything on that car. It was the perfect size and actually got decent gas mileage. It finally died in 1988 with about 200K on the one engine which is not bad for a car of that era. But I must say, the Hornet, Gremlin and especially the Pacer could be seen as “Joke Cars”.

    Nice try, JHK. I am not buying it.
    “Romney’s story appeals to you a little more” because he genuflects to Netanyahoo more fervently than does Obama. Speaking of not being able to continue with business as usual, how about we can’t continue to allow Tel Aviv to dictate our Mideast policy? Not to mention our farm policy and immigration policy. (Yes, I KNOW it is a sentence fragrment. The grammar police can go soak their heads)
    Romney is surrounded by Neocon foreign policy advisors. He has already all but promised a military attack on Iran (I mostly can’t stand Iranian immigrants, but the country has never done me any harm), and even thinks he can stage a confrontation with China. You do remember the Korean War? America at the height of its power, with a military staffed by hardy farm boys and tough, scrappy city kids, and the best we could do against Chinese troops was a draw.
    Romney’s “cheekiness”, his smug self assurance and self regard is easily explained. He knows very well that the fabulous comforts of his life are being made possible by the deprivations and sufferings of others, and he is tickled to death to be getting away with it.
    BTW, my parents had a rambler. They also sent four kids through college and left a decent nest egg to all four. Losers? Guess they, and all the other rambler owners lacked that all important picturesque appeal. Ramblers were cars for boring ordinary folks who wanted to get from A to B with a minimum of fuss and expense.

    How can I put this to you? What people don’t do for themselves or for each other, has to be done by the Goverment. Real Cultures operate at the local level. The Mormons have the right idea. They are theological idiots and practical geniuses. You are confusing Communalism with Socialism. And all Churches used to do this – ever hear of the tithe? To our shame, we fell away while they have continued. Now sin has been replaced by “being a failure” in popular culture. Not an improvement.

    In “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb”, per wikipedia, “In the “War Room” at The Pentagon, General Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott) briefs President Merkin Muffley (Sellers).” “In keeping with Kubrick’s satirical character names, a “merkin” is a pubic hair wig. The president is bald, and his last name is “Muffley”; both are additional homages to a merkin.”

    They are theological idiots and practical geniuses.
    ============
    Vlad, you have highlighted something I have long observed. Jews and Mormons (there are probably others) are prime examples of societies that have the most ridiculous and complex sets of beliefs and rules, yet are hyper-successful. In the case of Mormons, their success as a society is taken by its members as proof of the truth in what Jim has described here today as a “preposterous fairy tale” and “a laughable package of childish incongruities.” Though we might wish otherwise, life doesn’t necessarily punish or reward based on our beliefs.

    Vlad,
    You wrote, “How can I put this to you? What people don’t do for themselves or for each other, has to be done by the Goverment. Real Cultures operate at the local level.”
    This may have worked 200 years ago when rich and poor lived in the same towns. Now we have vast areas of poor, separated from the wealthy. Thus the poor would have to help the even poorer, if we have charity working on the local level. Those in the inner cities and Appalachians would be on their own.
    This is why the government needs to get involved. In spite of the “common knowledge”, one large government is still more efficient than hundreds of tiny charities. It tends to eliminate duplication of effort and can try to make sure that few fall through the cracks.
    Yes, I know that the government is NOT perfect! However, compare the overhead of medicare vs. the overhead of PIRATE insurance companies.
    Note to Q, that is NOT a typo!

    Icone fashion in versione cartoon per Herself
    È già un caso mediatico il primo numero di Herself, nuovo semestrale patinato made in USA, ideato dalla coppia di creativi Fabio Sebastianelli-Thorbjørn Ankerstjerne e dalla illustratrice Lula. Innanzitutto per il volume della rivista: un vero e proprio tomo da collezione. Poi per la geniale trovata di rendere cartoon i protagonisti della moda (e non solo): Anna Wintour, Anna dello Russo click, Blake lively, Kate Moss. Sono tutte griffatissime e in posa da top model, con uno sfondo tropicale, quasi a nascondere metaforicamente i riflettori sotto cui si ritrovano ogni giorno. C’ anche la versione cartoon della neo-mamma Carla Bruni e quella di Barbie. La bionda che ha incantato generazioni di bambine, facendole sognare con centinaia di cambi d’abito, avete capito bene. Tutte le poser sono sorridenti, alcune composte, altre ammiccanti. Sicuro che Kate Moss fa furore a tutti i costi anche in versione cartone animato: con cappotto Prada, orecchini Van Cleef & Arpels e un bracciale Boucheron vince il premio eleganza.Herself

    It seems to be a major fallacy of our thinking that electing some figurehead as president could potentially turn the situation around and rescue America from what ails it. There are much deeper, systemic problems that exist, which cannot simply be politicked away. The economy of the entire world is based upon an endless growth paradigm, and neither of the ‘Merican political parties want to address this in any serious manner. Jimbo alludes to this often. This system is based upon the endless creation of fiat money and the compounding of interest, which give an illusion of limitless possibilities, but in fact the mechanics of money are constrained by available energy resources.
    Then there are the so-called “externalities”, which we are discovering are not external at all, but crucial factors in whether or not we survive as a species. Formost among these are the ever-quickening effects of human-created climate change, but there are a number of hastening situations connected to geometric global population growth and industrial civilizations intense usage of energy. Fresh water supplies are dwindling throughout the world, as aquifers that take thousands of years to fill are being drained in decades to water lawns and the like. Food supplies are tightening, as drought conditions worsen due to the effects of global warming. Pollution is an ever-worsening problem, as the byproducts of service and industry are continually absorbed by the natural environment.
    We want to believe in heroes, and along with this fallacy, technical solutions to the problems that confront us. What some may not realize is that scientific solutions create their own set of problems. For instance, the Green Revolution allowed humans to feed far more people, and thus enabled the population bomb, which is at the center of the human crisis. The more we struggle, the tighter the grip, like one of those Chinese finger torture devices.
    Bottom line is that we as Americans, and actually most of the rest of the world as well, cannot fathom, much less stomach, the required actions that would avert major crises and catastrophes in the future. This would involve mandotary reductions of the overall human population, strict controls on who can have children and how many, serious restrictions on energy usage, especially for frivolous purposes, and global treaties to manage the planet’s resources. But none of this will happen. We are actually encouraged by advertising to think in the other direction, to imagine ourselves as selfish consumers whose every need can and should be met by the resources of the planet.

    Viewing this absurd presidential contest has got me thinking about the extermely flawed process. I think Nixon was right when he proposed to make the presidency one 6 year term with no reelection. If that change were made, perhaps the pres would be more likely to tell the truth about our dire situation. I’m probably very naive here, but I think there is at least a chance that Obama will be more honest with the people in a second term. A vote for Romney is also a blank check to Israel and certain war with Iran.
    Also, James, couldn’t agree more with you about the Mormon thing. Romney tithe’s to them, so is able to take millions off his adjustable gross income. Truly disgusting.

  114. turkle August 13, 2012 at 3:29 pm #

    (cont’d)
    Meanwhile, all of us seem to fall into the trap of playing the blame game, including myself. We are encouraged to find scapegoats in order to avert looking in the mirror and realizing that every one of us is part of the “problem.” But that’s not friendly for advertising the latest Stupid Unnecessary Vehicle on the TV tube. Of course, it isn’t your fault. Someone else is always to blame.
    Favorite targets include Jews, Arabs, gays, Republicans, Democrats, those on welfare, blacks, immigrants, or any other group that seems convenient. This blame game also encourages people to think simplistically and linearly, along the lines of, “If only leader X of political party Y were elected, all our problems could be solved.”
    Nothing is ever that simple, and when it comes to the overall global situation, the political parties are mostly the same, with different rhetoric.
    I don’t forsee any of this changing soon. As the world takes a long descent down the backside of the energy peak (coming soon to a world near you), I actually expect more Balkanization and spurious finger-pointing. This seems to be in our nature as intellectually limited pseudo-apes that evolved in small bands and tribes, and it is exacerbated by media that is ultimately intent on selling you the latest doo-dad rather than actually presenting the truth of our situation.

  115. turkle August 13, 2012 at 3:34 pm #

    Do you think it matters anymore whether the truth is told? The dynamics of global population, resource usage, and pollution are not exactly rocket science. They can be sufficiently explained to an intelligent 5th grader. The problem is that our entire system is predicated on the denial of reality. Witness the popularity of archaic, absurd belief systems like Christianity and Islam, which are woefully inadequate for explaining modern circumstances, much less dealing with them in a straightforward way. The fact of the matter is that (Jack Nicholson voice), “We can’t handle the truth.” Not only that, but even if we could handle it, very few people are willing to take the actions necessary to actually make any difference, barring some coercive element. And we know how well these kinds of social engineering projects would go down in America, “Land of the Free” (and the fat and dumb). Like a lead boat.
    Am I being too much of a Debbie Downer today?

    I think this week you could have had a lighter edge to you criticisms. I for one love ROMNEY AND HIS RUNNING MATE. Finally a vice president who actually stands for something, and the team they are presenting to the country sounds good and refreshing to me. Whether or not they carry it off once elected is another story. But the fact that they are straight, christian, and know how to make money is all the criteria I need. This country is divided along the lines of culture. Druggies/gay world vs. straight/god fearing. If you fall into the first category, then you will want socialism and equal rights for people who have equal rights but want MORE EQUAL RIGHTS THAN STRAIGHTS. If you fall into the second category, you most probably have a family with children, deal with the school systems, and want to have grandchildren who are stable and have a job. Therefore, the gay, druggie and the straight family people are in a struggle. Who will win? I hope and PRAY the family based straight non druggie people win over the lazy drugged out sex crazed individuals who would rather have the government take care of them from cradle to grave.

    ksat,
    Did you read my comment? If you have a local charity in a poor neighborhood, they are not going to have much in the way of resources to help.
    However, poor people living in the Hamptons will be well cared for, that is before they are escorted out by rent-a-cops.
    Why is big a good thing for business, but not for government?
    Why do private insurance companies have to be forced to spend ONLY 20% on overhead, while the Medicare is less than 3%.
    You have bought into the propaganda that the wealthy have funded through their “think tanks”, and paid shills such as Rush and Beck.
    Why would multiple bureaucracies often run by volunteers be better than a single well-funded organization of professionals.
    Also, even when states are allowed to make choices, the quality varies all over!

    Christian politicians in the United States generally fall into two categories.
    First, there are the idiots. These people are so small-minded and simplistic that they actually believe the Bible in a literal sense, not as metaphor. They will go into mental contortions to defend it like claiming that God put fossils under the ground to, uh, test us or something.
    Second, and I believe Paul Ryan and Romney fall into this category, there are the cynics. They likely do not believe in Christian myths but parrot them in order to appeal to a built-in Christian constituency, which has its trigger words (faith, amen, Jesus, and all that crap). This is a neo-conservative position, that there are useful myths which are not true, but should be adopted by the leadership in order to morally steer the citizenry. It is an idea from the philosophy of Leo Strauss.
    Then there’s this idea of the Christian businessman, a figure that H.L. Menchken enjoyed lampooning. Has there ever been such an oxymoronic juxtaposition? Nowhere in the Bible have I heard Jesus talk about vulture capitalism, private equity, or offshore bank accounts. Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple. In other words, he wasn’t having any of this mixing of the moneyed class with his religion. You have to be a first grade nincompoop to think that Christianity in its generally intepreted form is at all compatible with 21st century rapacious, selfish capitalism. But, of course, Americans aren’t generally known for their brains or finely honed sense of irony, at least not on average.

    Get over it. The greatest fear of all of Europe and other developed, democratized nations is any crises that would result in vast hoards of refugees attempting to migrate out of harm’s way. Already, the flood of illegal immigration away from the so called “developing nations” (they aren’t, the ratio of population to resources has only gotten further out of balance in the last 50 years) is having a crushing effect upon the social and infrastructural capacity of the nations that are targeted as destinations.
    This is where Israel has the US and Europe by the balls. Having hundreds of nuclear devices Israel can leverage deference, enabling it to demand resource influx and sponsorship sufficient to keep its population living at First World standards – whereas otherwise it couldn’t sustain even 7% of its now existing population on native resources. That, of course, is why there will never be a “settlement” of the Israel/Palestinian crisis.
    Like the Israelis, the Palestinians are populating as though manna is going to rain down from heaven. This illustrates perfectly humanities great capacity for denial and self deception with myth.
    Forget it; all this talk about creating a global economy that will improve the lives of the globe’s billions of overpopulation is pure BS. The real aim is simply to create a global wealth minority to be exempted from the inevitable great die off.

    Mistified reminds me of a fat, little shit-head of a kid in my neighborhood, when I was young. If you gave him the slightest inclination he would call you a “pig hog” (whatever that is) and run away as fast as possible. Was that you mistified? You are one pathetic, angry little person.

    Indeed, Mormonism (or Church of the LDS…or is that LSD?) is full of idiotic fantasies, but not less so than any other religion: Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, et al. Perhaps only Buddhism – which is really a philosophy than a religion – is not a pack of drivel.

    Mormonism is an annoying religion, I’ll give you that much. All that door knocking….what a pain.
    What happens when you cross a Mormon with a Unitarian?
    A person who goes door to door for no apparent reason. //
    But they do a good job taking care of each other, and thus the chance of them living on welfare, etc. is less than the average American.
    Example: My brother, the CPA, was assigned by the bishop of the congregation (or ward as they call it) to help out this single mom that was having a hard time paying her bills. My brother sorted out all her financial stuff and worked out a budget she could live on. The church helped out with her mortgage for a little while while she got back onto her feet. This is much simpler than how the government would handle a problem.

    You are misusing the word “philosophy” ( a western phenomenon) which means love of knowledge or love of wisdom. Buddhism is not a philosophy. Buddhism is practical and empirical.

    Thanks for the week’s work, JHK.
    Couple of things:
    1. Who – I mean WHO the HELL – knew there were so many AMC rambler defenders among the CF Nation.
    2. ‘Merkin. Who knew. I didn’t. Thanks to Puzz and Confus for proving that one can still learn things from this discussion thread.
    3. Here’s my favorite JHK phrase for the week:
    “….characters who personify all the hapless contradictions of the public they will be pandering to. Romney’s story appeals to me a little more in its strange psychological dimensions; Obama’s role as a living, breathing wish-fulfillment of the liberal imagination is too obvious in comparison.” -jhk-
    Yeah, I agree with you James. Not sure why. Something about the one purely North American version of Christianity meeting the far-right school chum (Net an yahoo) to kick off Armageddon.
    Gotta’ love it.
    4. K/Q – A year ago you were trying to bust on me for agreeing with various posters by 75%, or whatever.
    Now you’re agreeing with BJ 110%. Which, I’m pretty certain, is a logical and mathematical impossibility. And you’re an accounting major?
    Please enlighten us as to your use of “new math.”
    5. OK, that’s 5 things. I ran over. More later.

    After Ryan’s father passed away, the family took in young Ryan’s grandmother, who was suffering from alzheimer’s, and according to the flattering puff piece I read earlier today Ryan helped take care of her. Most impressive, right?
    Translation for us folks who live in the real world is that the Ryan family used grandma’s income (social security) and assets (this was back when ordinary foks still had assets) to maintain themselves. My guess is that young Ryan learned his hard nosed ways from his Mom.

    Jim…
    I appreciate that you don’t like cars. Even I have pretty mixed feelings, a love-hate relationship. The convenience is great (at least in rural areas) but the traffic, pollution and accidents are well-noted.
    That said: I have plenty of reasons to dislike Romney, but the fact that his dad’s company, AMC, produced Ramblers isn’t one of them. Like several others here, I actually have fond memories of the Ramblers we had as family cars in the 1950s and 60s. The seats that folded flat were a great innovation for camping trips.
    The first family car we owned, an Oldsmobile sedan, was a big gas hog with “fins” on the back – what an idiotic idea. Not sure what my parents were thinking when they bought that, but afterwards we were Ramblers all the way until we finally switched to Toyota.
    These days I mostly get around on a 150cc motorbike, at 95 mpg. I live in a rural area. When peak oil hits us big time, it’s going to be either a bicycle or a horse. Or stay at home and never go out.

    OK, I’ve got another question.
    Is Romney deliberately trying to throw the election?
    And what is it with the Repubs. and their goofy VP picks.
    BushI picked the Quail.
    McCain picked Caribou Barbie.
    And now Mittens picks Paul Ryan.
    Here’s a vignette of PR’s first public appearance as VP-in-waiting at the Iowa State Fair –
    after being heckled –
    …”Ryan spoke for only 13 of the customary 20 minutes on the soapbox stage and did not take any questions from the audience.
    As reporters walked alongside him asking questions — including about the region’s devastating drought — Ryan declined to answer most of them, saying, “We can play ‘stump the VP later.'”
    A Secret Service spokesman did not immediately reply to a request for comment as to how….*”
    *as to how Romney managed to pick this moron as his running mate? (Nope, I just made that up – but the SS has to be wondering, just a little bit.
    ======================
    Listen, you dum’asses – the “BASE” is energized.
    They can’t be energized any more by a far-right-wing-nut VP choice.
    Mystified, can you explain this?
    Next time, Republicans, pick a centrist to balance the ticket. please.
    If there IS a next time – Go ‘Merkins!

    Not to take exception to you, Mr. Kunstler, but when Mr. Romney Sr. took the helm of Nash, he saved it from bankruptcty. His “Little Nash Rambler” was the perfect answer to Detroit’s Big Three…and I do mean BIG! Take it from me, folks, even then, we grew tired of paying lots of $$$ to haul around land yachts down Santa Monica Boulevard. Plus, a l959 Nash Rambler was a hell of a lot better looking than a l959 Chevy. IMO, of course.

    “right now in the three-ring circus of presidential politics, events are in the driver’s seat”
    Pure Americana? How about Impure? Is there anything remotely pure about so-called American political culture? I grew up in the Hollywood age, so pardon me if I sound cynical.
    American culture as a whole, including the political culture, is defined by Hollywood Television. The evil, one-eyed monster of lies, filth, and deceit. American culture, as I once read about in history books, and witnessed the very last remnants of in my grandparents, the children of European immigrants, is DEAD. GONE. It no longer exists in the pure definition of the word. What we have now is a bastardized, electronically-created construct of falsehoods.
    Even circus clowns are more real than American politicians, because behind the false faces of the clowns there are real people. Politicians are just lying puppets following orders.
    Enjoy the farcical reality show called the “2012 Presidential Election.”

    ===============
    Yeah, and your point?
    Are you against inheritance?
    What’s up with the contemptuous quotes around family business?
    Isn’t the building and maintenance of federal highways a legitimate government function? Somebody’s got to paint those lines, right? Is the painting of lines on highways not honorable work?
    By what criteria were the government contracts “fat?” and how would you know?
    Frankly, I’m enjoying seeing your concern about this guy Ryan…even though I assured you several times that Obama would be re-elected.
    God bless that whole ambitious Ryan clan that were able to leave their offspring some money after they passed on. I’d love to be able to do the same thing for my kids some day.

They said, if the assessment is correct, the Arctic sea ice may completely disappear in the near future, which may lead to a rush to the Arctic, the world’s "Gold Rush", because the Arctic oil and fish resources.  Formal Wedding Dress

    Regarding merkins (public wigs), lest you think that was just old Shakespeare stuff, they are very much alive and well.
    In an magazine interview, Kate Winslet related how she refused to wear a merkin in the movie The Reader:

    Jim, you have described yet another delusional system extant in the amerikan psyche: let’s call it the courtier delusion, or perhaps the delusional of amerikan royalty. It involves the delusion that dynastic criminals and their courtiers are somehow smarter than the rest of us, therefore superior to us (think divine right of kings, etc)and, having our interests at heart, will take care of us. Its part of the “too much magic” family of delusions, and is related to the delusion of techno-triumphalism (the delusion that the dynastic criminals in charge can use high tech to save the world and continue things as they are).
    I always thought that our system would end with violence and chaos. Now it appears that it will end with rampant psychosis, in the form of mass delusionality, eventually yielding violence and chaos when the delusions run into the wall of reality.

    In regards to the Rambler comment, it looks like JHK was hoisted by his own petard. That’s what happens when you tread upon unfamiliar ground. In JHKs case, this means classic cars, sports, or anything considered “Macho.” Though not a complete milquetoast, I don’t see JHK being picked first for the dodgeball games in grade school. Worse than just hating sports, it seems he just dismisses the same as a complete waste of time (except for, maybe, baseball). Theater, writing, painting…that’s all OK. But god forbid you enjoy a classic muscle car (AMX) or enjoy old film of Walter Payton running with the ball. Can you imagine if JHK had a son? What would become of that kid? Though it’s hard to find even a grown man today that can rebuild a carburetor, or fix a timing belt. Does JHK even have a “favorite” car from his past? Would he dare to even admit it? What would it be?

    Back to the matter of moment.
    Dr. Roberts sez (in regard to issues purposely not mentioned):
    “The Obama police state will shop around and find a federal appeals court dominated by Republican Brownshirt judges and get Judge Forrest’s ruling [indefinite detention of US citizens unconstitutional] overturned. All those Republican federal judges we had to have to save us from liberal Democrats will now complete our deliverance to a total police state where all power rests in an unaccountable executive branch. This is what the Republican Federalist Society has wanted for years, and they are on the verge of obtaining it.
    That the United States has degenerated into a police state in the short period of ten years should be the campaign issue. Who would ever have thought such a thing possible. Yet, there is no mention of the destruction of the rule of law in the name of a hoax “war on terror.”
    …And there’s plenty more fun; bring the kids to the casino and place your bets!
    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article32162.htm
    What’s NOT being blurted, blustered, blabbed or bloviated by the fine slate of candidates are the very issues that are about to kick in the door, spill all the beer and Cheez Doodles, and generally fuck up the party. And as JHK and many others here opine, I too believe this is a strategy to keep the cattle calm for the time being. Ultimately a dangerous game of: who’s going to be driving the bus when it hits the IED? Will there be enough “legality” glossed over the coming brutal repression to allow the citizens to patriotically assent to a boot on the neck?

    The Justice Department’s definition of a potential terrorism suspect under the Patriot Act is already extremely broad. It includes anyone with missing fingers, someone who has weatherproof ammunition and guns, and anyone who has hoarded more than seven days of food. This would make a few of my relatives in rural Maine and their friends, if the government so decided, prime terrorism suspects.

    And the Bell Curve of Hernstein (Jew) and Murray. No factor determines wealth more than IQ. Of course there is inheritance (your parents IQ) but most fortunes are gone in a generation or two if the folks don’t have the IQ, ability, and character to maintain them. And IQ is a big part of ability and character. Not automatic or the whole story of course: some smart people are low lifes or just lazy.

    I think that one manifestation of the delusionality is the increasingly militant adherence by so many to ideologies that look to me like escapist fantasies.
    Dreamscapes that have little connection to human or scientific reality. Like ideologies of the “right” or “left”. Or “isms” like racism and fascism which is rearing its ugly head again in Europe. Or playthings of supposed intellectuals like “environmentalism” which is really long on politically correct posturing and rhetoric and symbolic action but really short on usable suggestions on how to haul our asses from point A to point B assuming they have any notion of where point B actually is.
    Look at the imbeciles preaching to imbeciles – imbeciles touting “tax cuts” combined with as yet to be defined “broadening” of the tax base and closing of “loopholes” to remedy the ticking fiscal time bomb. Or is it criminals preaching to imbeciles?
    I wonder if Pussy Riot would dare do their thing in a mosque. No?

    For Krisesakes Vlad that USS Liberty incident occurred almost 50 years ago. Its been investigated from every angle possible, each time with the same result: an accident of war. Its like the JFK assassination; in half a century no evidence has surfaced of any type of conspiracy, yet some still insist that Oswald was part of a conspiracy. Its going to be a long time before all the delusions of the 1960s finally fade away.

    “In the beginning there was the word”; quote of opening line from some translations of the Old Testament. “I fire words that explode in other men’s souls”, D. H. Lawrence. Words and phrases have consequence, that’s the point: Whatever definition or meaning we adopt for each frames our thinking.
    “Human capital” is a phrase that has somehow been given prominence in common parlance. Shall we guess at how acceptance of being lumped into such purely “eco-nomenclature” categorization might be to purpose of diminishing the significance of category of “citizen”?
    Well,……isn’t the aim of transnational corporate interests that of economically reducing the importance of sovereign independence of nations, hence nullifying the exclusivity of “citizen” entitlement to direct national destiny without interference from outside interests?
    Yes, yes, yes; I am addressing the issue of one world government imposed by enslavement of all people under a singular economic dictum.
    Ah cam ‘on; is it that hard to understand that within the prevailing scheme of global economics any group — whether a single family living “off grid” or a nation whose citizens choose to preserve for themselves a distinctly singular destiny — can be viewed “terrorist”.
    A family living off the grid is going to be valued less as “human capital”. No different are nations that exempt themselves from being entwined into international laissez-faire capitalism that controls all resources, distributing them based upon best profit margins. And, by-the-way, assuming to itself – ostensibly on behalf of the whole — entitlement to access resources anywhere they exist.
    Oh yeah, the old “market and supply” pitch. It goes like this; Americans pay more for — or do without – domestic products that pull a greater price elsewhere (say, in China where a new wealth class is emerging). In effect, export markets trump “taking care of our own”.
    But then, and excuse me, I forget that Americans are now judged (according to fashionable PC) no longer entitled to national sovereignty due to being too white and too European.
    Oh yeah, there too is the charge that our history is marred (not unlike all other societies I must note) by injustice to minorities.

    Ryan said, on Glen Beck, “progressivism is a cancer on America”
    How do you know if you have the disease?
    If you receive a social security check…
    If you get sick and have Medicare, Tricare, etc.
    If you have kids who went to public schools…
    If you enjoy weekends…
    Progressives brought you all of those disease symptoms and many more.

    I heard (and saw) it on TV.
    So, instead of saying “I read” I correctly and accurately said “I heard”
    It is practically common knowledge that Paul Ryan is as far right as Walker, and both live in Wisconsin, so your ingenuity is both false and meant to be provocative.
    Ryan voted for Bush’s tax cuts, for Bush’s bailouts, for Bush’s TARP, for Bush’s deficit spending on wars, etc.

    Paul Ryan … yet another supply-side robot. I think it’s safe to say that Obama’s handlers are going to tear Romney and Ryan to shreds by painting them as Bushies who support the same voodoo economics decried by David Stockman (a Republican!!) decades ago and that led to the Great Recession.
    Obama is going to win this election in a landslide. I think Obama is a do-nothing guy but I’ll take him any day over these plutocrat-lovers.
    Romney/Ryan is a hilarious amalgam of outmoded economic theories, globalism, and moneygrubbing. No wonder Wall Street has fallen in love with them.

    OK Asoka, we’re making headway. You and Ayn agree that life begins at birth and all the decisions about that unborn fetus are the woman’s alone from which I infer that even 5 minutes before birth the mother can have that baby C-sectioned out of her and destroyed and the biological father has no say in the matter whatever. Got it.

    I’m not sure you’ve got your finger in the right place either there, Q. Mormons are not exactly popular with the conservatives. Even other Christians think they’re nuts. It is fun to see them “love each other” so. The Republican base is not energized to go out and vote for Romney. Even if the phone polls are currently close, the anti-Obama turn-out is liable to be lackluster for this reason, whereas Obama supporters are more fired-up to give him a second term. Paul Ryan’s positions on Medicare and Medicaid, and by extension Romney’s, are also not likely to pull in any votes either, except from a few hard-core ideological conservatives with a stiffy for across-the-board privatization. Medicare is considered a pretty good program by those who use it. At least, I seriously doubt that many elderly wish to make an about face and return back to private insurers for their healthcare. And, therefore, they’ve basically lost the senior citizens, another major block on the right.
    So, yeah, I’d say you’re way off on this.

    I’m politically neutral these days since I hate the Nanny-State, “Diversity World” politics of the left and I equally detest the supply-side economics of the right. I hate both of them.
    That being said, I don’t think Obama is really that frightened. His handlers will make Romney look like the second coming of Dubya and they will succeed because Romney’s tax policies are more of the same.
    I think Obama is a feckless leader but the very fact that the buzz on Wall St. is that financiers are moving wholesale over to Romney is enough, in itself, to get me to vote for Obama.
    America is on its way down the poop chute of history no matter who wins but Romney doesn’t have an original idea in his pea brain. His whole shtick is warmed-over Reaganism and Reagan’s administration was the first one to run gigantic deficits.

    Well, let’s see…Mittens and Pauly Boy, or Obomba? From my own limited observation of it all, there are a lot of pissed off whites who like laying the blame of the economy on Obomba. JHK said of such people, “Get that nigger out of the White House!” I read “conservative” rags as well as “progressive” and “liberal” ones.
    Blacks will vote for Obomba because, well, he’s black. Even the black Southern Baptist preachers don’t seem to be yapping too much about his new found support of gay marriage. He’s “evolved”…his words, not mine.
    Hispanics will vote for Obomba because of his recent decision to grant citizenship to the huge amount of anchor babies that are shot out of Juanita’s hole once she crosses the border.
    Texas and California repubs will come out in DROVES to vote in Mittens and Pauly. As will the folks in Arizona. They’re tired of paying for Juanita’s 12 and growing offspring.
    Seniors and next to be seniors are scared shitless that Mittens and Pauly will swipe and/or drastically reduce “entitlements”. Hence, the majority will vote for Obomba, since most of them couldn’t find Afghanistan on a map if you paid them.
    Young people historically don’t vote anyway, at least in large numbers, so there’s no threat to the status quo there. Most, outside of the few OWSERS who show up for an occasional protest, think they’ll achieve the ticket to the middle and upper middle class. Many still believe in the lie that getting a college degree is worth mortgaging your entire future.
    Then there are the folks who are just too wise (or disenchanted) to see beyond the thin veneer that both “choices” are nothing more than a rigged carnival game where the “house” always wins. They won’t show up for the polls at all.
    The big unknown factor might be women. Obomba is no longer the only “pretty boy” running. Although I find Mittens only marginally attractive for his age, Pauly seems to be a clone for a grown up Eddy Munster.
    I’m guessing it’ll be a close race. At any rate, I’ll keep the “mute” button close at hand, for I find the whole charade fairly disgusting as well as disheartening.

    The DJIA is proof positive that the middle class is disappearing while the uber-rich are doing quite well. We don’t need Stiglitz to prove that we’re a banana republic because the market is proving that.
    While the U6 unemployment rate is 15.2% (why the media quotes the U3 rate is beyond me), there is vast UNDEREMPLOYMENT. There are almost 200,000 JANITORS in the USA with bachelors degrees or greater. We have a tremendous amount of underused brainpower in the United States because of the offshoring of greedy CEOs … like Mitt Romney.
    You know you’re nearing a culturally destructive and terminal depression when the only thing walking on water are the stock market averages. The rich are NOT engaging in business investment. They are speculating in the markets keeping them afloat.
    Just as the US employment stats and consumer spending stats went downhill in 1926, well before the Depression, the DJIA’s out-of-touch-ness with the status of the populace at large presages a horrific depression in the near future. The lower and middle classes are already living in a Depression.
    Even my tony residence of Palo Alto has had a SIXTY percent increase in burglaries this year. In tough economic times, burglaries happen so that people can fence stolen goods to keep food on the table. We are very, very close to the ultimate collapse of the USA. Whether it be weeks or a couple of years is unimportant to me. It’s as inevitable as spring grass.

    I really don’t think it matters who “wins” the White House. I’m guessing that if Mittens and Pauly get in, the S will hit the fan that much quicker, thereby relieving everyone on this site of pondering the question as to when the inevitable collapse occurs. How do you want to die, slow and painfully, or quick and painfully?

    ———-
    Regarding merkins (public wigs), lest you think that was just old Shakespeare stuff, they are very much alive and well.
    In an magazine interview, Kate Winslet related how she refused to wear a merkin in the movie The Reader:
    “Let me tell you, The Reader was not glamorous for me in terms of body-hair maintenence. I had to grow it in, because you can’t have a landing strip in 1950, you know? And then because of years of waxing, as all of us girls know, it doesn’t come back quite the way it used to. They even made me a merkin because they were so concerned that I might not be able to grow enough. I said, ‘Guys, I am going to have to draw the line at a pubic wig, but you can shoot my own snatch up close and personal.'”

Grow our way out of debt, while we help disintegrate the natural resources of the country, as well as the fabric of the society. If I and 100,000 friends used zero electricity here in sunny (hot and dry) Colorado for a year, and then another 100,000 come in that year, it’s a wash. Multiply that by any constituency.

    As much as I might dearly love to say that it is bunk and hoopla (and therefore, not so), the very existence of “think tanks” and military psy-ops, with their [unashamed] stated missions of swaying public opinion, argues a-gin’ it.
    If humankind should survive the terrors of their own creation, there will come a day when such tactics of deception will be abolished by pain of banishment.

    I poked around (very briefly) and was “informed” by the census bureau that there are about 150 million persons registered to vote, out of about 207 and a half million ELIGIBLE voters. That’s circa 2008.
    I’ll check for some more recent numbers, but I doubt they’d be more on the hopeful side. When over a quarter of those could possibly vote don’t have enough give-a-shit to even register, even the pretense of a representative democracy begins to smell decidedly of decaying fish.
    Those are the stats I’m more interested in; perhaps you can see why.

So even if these mythical hordes of California Republicans come out in droves for Romney, it doesn’t matter. Because all the state’s delegates will be voting for Obama when he wins. California is a solidly blue state. You can pretty much count on it.

    Which candidate do you think will keep us out of wars?
    Our neighborhood has had a spike in burglaries this summer. San Jose’s police force won’t be investigating them unless the perps are caught in the act. We have a big neighborhood watch revival in the works.
    ************************************************************
    Two females I know in downtown SJ have both told me that downtown SJ is now MUCH more dangerous. One bought two guns. Here in Palo Alto, the burglary rate is up sixty percent.
    To me, this is just part of what Prechter would call the normal socionomic response to a depression. SJ is not unique. The Central Valley is now a war zone.
    I don’t think EITHER candidate will keep us out of wars. Mittens is a hawk on Iran. Obomya has already fiddled around in Libya and Pakistan … violating Pakistan’s sovereignty I might add.
    The only thing which slightly tips the scales in Obama’s favor, to me, is his stance on lowering taxes for the middle class and raising them on plutocrats. The plutocrats, of course, now want Romney which tells me all I need to know. The typical plutocratic argument is more failed “supply side” economics which have never worked in WORLD HISTORY.
    We’ll just have to suffer Obama’s classic “Diversity World” social views.

    Yes, the news reels were used to garner support for the military-industrialist wars financed by the international banking families. And yes, we won. I believe this time we will inevitably lose. That’s going to be the big difference between the generations. It’s our turn to get bombed. The globalists want the American middle class wiped out. Our politicians are playing their part in this plan very well.

    Torna il New Look anni '40 con la sfilata Dior A/I 2012
    Qualche giorno fa vi abbiamo parlato della sfilata di Dior in live streaming, ora vediamo i commenti della stampa internazionale a riguardo. Sul Guardian parlano di ritorno agli anni ‘40 e ‘50; Bill Gaytten Ralph Lauren Uomo, l’uomo che ha fatto impennare le vendite nella scorsa stagione e che ha traghettato la maison in acque pi tranquille dopo lo scandalo di John Galliano, andato a recuperare i modelli degli anni d’oro.Nel ritorno al classico e alle silhouettes subito riconoscibili, sono pochi i ghirigori sui tessuti, tornano gli abiti da sera senza maniche, e le gonne -che arrivano sotto al ginocchio- esplodono subito sotto al girovita e sono portate con magline in stile ballerina.Il mito del New Look quindi pi vivo che mai, e per il momento la collezione Dior l’unico baluardo anni ‘40 del prossimo autunno inverno. Ma quante saranno le stagioni di Gaytten? Dopo l’ultima, commovente sfilata di Raf Simons per Jil Sander forse non molte, per il momento però, visti i risultati, Gaytten rimane ancora in sella.Immagine | ASVOF

    Milan Fashion Week 2012: dettagli e accessori Roccobarocco
    Dopo aver rimirato la collezione portata sulle passerelle milanesi da RoccoBarocco e Ivana Mrazova come modella di punta, ecco che ci spostiamo sui dettagli e gli accessori della linea per rubare qualche anticipazione delle prossime tendenze. Focus sulle scarpe: a parte le strepitose décolleté in cavallino, si va sul classico nero, di vernice e non, con dettagli rossi. Le mini bags vogliono essere il pi possibile fantasiose e bizzarre, molte applicazioni, ricami, strass. Le piume diventano must have, senza il clamore di un oggetto fine a se stesso e un altro dettaglio irrinunciabile il colletto di pelliccia, che a seconda delle dimensioni arriva a essere quasi un capospalla. Capelli raccolti e make-up molto dark Camicie donna, a rimarcare il trend mascolino e lo stile venere dark. Ultima chicca: per la prossima stagione conviene recuperare una cravatta dall’armadio del papà, fidanzato o marito. Del resto, loro non la usano, per noi sarà un dettaglio ultra-chic.Rocco Barocco, dettagli glam

    Was i’choo looking for the long 3-part documentary?
    And was it this one? (The Power Principle)
    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article31417.htm
    Synopsis:
    This documentary is about the foreign policy of the United States. It demonstrates the importance of the political economy, the Mafia principle, propaganda, ideology, violence and force.
    It documents and explains how the policy is based on the interest of major corporations and a tiny elite to increase profits and the United States governments own interests in maintaining and expanding it’s imperialistic influence.

    OHO! Precedent has now been officially set, and all customer (read: trusting rube) deposits can be purloined to beef up the big boyz.
    “All legal deposit protections are now officially gone.”
    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article32180.htm
    “…even if Jon Corzine is somehow dragged into court by private citizens, because you know damn good and well that the Justice Department will never, ever touch him, Corzine now has a legal precedent, likely from a bribed or otherwise coerced Federal Appeals Court, explicitly stating that an FCM can use customer deposits to pay its debts, and that the customers themselves are subjugated and have basically no legal right to their own monies, no matter what the law says, or what legal assurances, claims or guarantees are made to that customer about their funds held with an FCM or any other brokerage or depository institution. The “secured” party at the front of the line will always be the mega-bank who made the fraudulent loan using the stolen customer funds as collateral.
    In other words, all customer funds in the United States are now the legal property of JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BNYM, or whichever megabank is the counterparty on the loans the FCM or depository institution takes out in order to fund its mega-levered proprietary in-house trading desks.”
    Who do YOU trust?
    Place your bets! Especially you, Q; hope your mattress is well-stuffed for the big fun ahead. Oh… that’s right, you’re “invested” in the market, so no worries a’tall. Due to differences we have in political outlooks resulting from our personal empathy quotients, at least I know that you won’t come crying to me. Silver linings everywhere! We’re gonna get to try out that delightful Republican “every man for himself” shit they seem to fervently desire. (Careful what you wish for, Poppets.)

    Now wait a minute! Am I to believe that as a citizen of the United States I yet owe more to the children of illegal aliens than the advantages they’ve already misappropriated by being here illegally?
    Really? On what basis? Was it not our taxes that paid for the educational and social infrastructure which was lacking in the nation of their parent’s origin, and from which these children have gained incalculable advantage over children in their parents’ nation of origin?
    Seems to me these children and their parents owe the American people a “thank you” before voluntarily returning to the nation of the parents’ origin, taking back with them all the misappropriated advantage.
    Hell, since the Kennedy administration the Peace Corps has been recruiting Americans to spend two years of their lives in underdeveloped countries for sharing the benefit of the social advantages they’d gained from First World nation living. Wouldn’t demanding the deportation of all illegal aliens and their children amount to another thrust of the same intent of the Peace Corps?

    The only two things American Motors did right were to make small cars before small cars were cool – so that, by the 1970s, the firm had an edge durig the oil crises . . . and of course, to buy Kaiser-Willys and make their Jeeps. (How did the word “jeep” become a trademarked brand?) But American Motors was never a strong company – it was created by a merger of the wreckage of Nash and Hudson – though one could argue that with even bolder leadership it could have been a worthy domestic competitor to the Big Three. Still, because it was the last domestic competitor to the Big Three when Chrysler bought it out in 1987, it was hard not to wince. An era had ended.
    George Romney was governor of Michigan when Detroit blew up in 1967 (Joseph Cavanaugh was mayor), and Romney, I am led to understand, blamed President Johnson for not sending the Army in sooner than he did, largely for – you guessed it – political reasons.

    While the USD is clearly worth half what it was a decade ago, so long as the rest of the world is equally screwed, I think the country holds up.
    The trouble lies with the federal balance sheet, wherein we’re sending checks to too many people instead of encouraging business development and job growth.
    If we have 100 million working adults, its pretty hard for them to support 50 million retirees on Medicare, and another 45 million on food stamps.
    The guys I know who aren’t mechanics, engineers, or in IT haven’t found work for years – that’s the direct result of government stealing from small and medium business, forcing them to shut down.

    We were driving on a main suburban drag and came to a stop sign. There was a bus stop on the right and one man, Obama was sitting on an aluminum bench in the glass wrapped bus shelter.
    Obama was eating the drumstick of some kind of giant bird and it looked really good. He looked at me and smiled. Then he mouthed the words none for you and then took a big bite. Then he was chuckling with his mouth full and the light changed. I woke up as Romney drove away.

    If you move your money out of the big banks, you have more protection. – Asoka boarding the Doom-Porn train
    ==============
    On July 30th my brother emailed me (Subject: Angry female) a link containing a 30 minute rant by this Ann Barnhardt chick. She recorded it on Nov 30, 2011. Has anyone here been scammed out of their money by one of the “big banks” in the ensuing 8.5 months? I thought not.
    Here’s what I read between the lines of the rant. The overly excitable Ms Barnhardt had some experience dealing in financial products. Having an A-type personality, more testosterone than is normal in a woman, and ring fingers unusually longer than her index fingers, she started her own firm but things didn’t go too well. She decided to close up shop and return to her customers (of which I’m guessing there were precious few such as her parents, her best girlfriend and her Aunt Tilly) their [remaining] money. She needed a face saving cover story and this one, about the big banks being able to take anybody’s money at any time and the poor schlubs can’t do shit about it, was it. She also positioned herself nicely on moral high ground in the process.
    My advice to Oz and Soak: Calm down.

    Sebastian Sauve e Tali Lennox su Harper's Bazaar Mexico
    Harper’s Bazaar Mexico sceglie una coppia che fa letteralmente scintille. Parliamo naturalmente di Sebastian Sauve, uno dei modelli pi inseguiti dell’anno e Tali Lennox, fatalissima figlia d’arte che, sotto la guida della fotografa Esperanza Moya e della stylist Nirave Sanchez, evocano per noi un sogno: l’amore esotico. Un editoriale assolutamente romantico che ci inonda di luce polo bikini, di sabbia che sembra mutare forma sotto i corpi dei due innamorati e di incontri invariabilmente baciati dalla fortuna che qui sembrano trarre forza anche solo dal vento che soffia dal mare (oh la magia della carta stampata). La moda per l’estate 2012 diventa un romanzo così tutto da guardare, o se preferite, un prezioso album dei ricordi, dove il glamour, che in realtà rimane sempre l’assoluto protagonista dell’editoriale, regna inevitabilmente sovrano.

    There is a reason why the teaching profession sees a large percentage of its recent college graduates leave the profession after 5 years. If this girl goes into this inner city school to “teach”, she will be profoundly surprised, disillusioned, and probably experience a nervous breakdown.
    The most important element in teaching children is not just the teacher but the parents. Too many parents use the idiot box to babysit their babies while they suck on the crack pipe collecting unemployment or welfare bennies. Sad but true. The kids deserve more.

    It’s really bad out there. A niece of mine taught in the Washington, D.C. area fresh out of college (she’s now 54 years old) and told me about the absolutely unbelievable behavioral problems she encountered. Let’s do the math: She’s 54 now, so she taught elementary school about 30 years ago. That would have been around l982.
    I’m not sure if you’re aware of the racial demographics of D.C., but let’s just say that most of the public school kids there didn’t have mothers who attended the Seven Sisters colleges. Daily abuses ranged from wiping fecal matter on the bathroom stalls, bringing knives into school, spitting and cursing at teachers, and carving their initials into their desks. And this was second grade! Now I hear from my niece (she left the profession around l992, that students routinely bring their cell phones to school to make drug deals while sitting in class. The teachers don’t dare bring them to the principal’s office because they will be accused of racism or a lack of multi-culturalism. This is in middle school. Your tax dollars hard at work. And D.C. spends (I think) the most on public school education. Nice.

    And who could ever forget that lovely American Motors gem, the Pacer? Or even the Gremlin? Sometimes a car company deserves to go out of business. Alas, Too Big to Fail has been with us for a while now. I remember back in l980 arguing with my dad when Chrysler was about to go under. I couldn’t believe that the government was going to bail them out. My dad said, “Well, we can’t just let G.M and Ford have a monopoly, can we?” My argument was (and is) if you make a product that sucks, you deserve to go under.

    Thanks for the link. It’s very long but I read a goodly portion of it…enough to get the drift.
    Anything that has to do with money and investments carries certain risks. It has never been otherwise. It wasn’t all that long ago (25 years? maybe less) that a person would invest all or a portion of his/her 401K in a fund and wasn’t permitted to change that (ie sell it and buy something else) investment for 3 months without a penalty (10% if memory serves). If the market suddenly plunged you were stuck. You could either bail out with a loss plus the penalty or you could ride out the market plunge waiting for the next time you could sell without penalty and pray that the market did plunge further while you waited. Today, in a self directed account you can turn over investments all the live long day if you want. In many ways a person can pull their money from an account quicker today than in yesteryear.
    BTW, I have NO money in “money market funds.”

    Funny you should mention a dream. Last week I had a dream that I was in a large building that was insulated from all the travails and tragedies of the outside world; a xenophobic monastery if you will. As a result of this cherished insularity, all the inhabitants of this monastery were very careful not to let anything or anybody in when opening doors. And especially not the Jews, who seemed very eager to get inside and whom the inhabitants feared would foist their battles and disputes upon their idyllic world of peace and contentment.
    But people being people – imbeciles, in other words – and Jews being Jews – aggressive, intelligent, tenacious – somebody inevitably let their guard down and suddenly the sanctity of the monastery was being run by “The Chosen People”. And I must admit, on one hand I was a little taken back by the arrogance and temerity of the invasion; on the other hand, I was mesmerized by these bodacious visionaries who just set up shop in this ethereal sanctuary of formerly closed doors.
    Fittingly,and justifiably, the last hand won out in my dream. I followed these sages into the lecture hall, silently and humbly…listening like a character out of a Jacob Jordeans’painting:

    I found this interesting:
    The State Senator (a Republican) who represents our District just retired from is full time job as a police officer. One of the committees he’s on in the State Senate oversees and regulates the two power companies in the State.
    So one of those companies recently gave him a job as vice president. Plus he gets to keep his position in the Senate. Nobody here seems surprised or disturbed by these events. Its hardly worth mentioning.

    CP said:
    Now wait a minute! Am I to believe that as a citizen of the United States I yet owe more to the children of illegal aliens than the advantages they’ve already misappropriated by being here illegally?
    Really? On what basis? Was it not our taxes that paid for the educational and social infrastructure which was lacking in the nation of their parent’s origin, and from which these children have gained incalculable advantage over children in their parents’ nation of origin?
    ************************************************************
    Though it’s like spitting into a hurricane, I totally agree with your assessment, CP. I could write a freaking BOOK about all of the injustices pulled on the American people by illegal AND legal aliens. Everyone who lives in Silicon Valley knows that once Chinese or Indians take over a company, an apartment building, or a local business, they fill buildings with their own kind and somehow never get taken to task for incredible discrimination against American whites AND blacks who were born and raised here.
    I’m sick to death of the idea that people need a ballot in Tagalog or Vietnamese because they can’t read English. In American colleges, English classes have been dumbed down to the max so that Asians of all kinds don’t have to read ONE novel.
    The people who grew up in this country, whatever their ethnicity, are now victims of nepotism, reverse racism, discrimination, and violation of all kinds of equal opportunity laws for housing, jobs, and business establishment.
    That’s probably the ONLY reason I’m considering voting for that asshole Romney because the sonofabitch is most certainly the ONLY guy who’s going to put a stop to this shit. I hate the current incarnation of the Republican Party but I detest the selling out of the people born here by allowing these foreign assholes to get a foothold in businesses and then hire nothing but their own kind.
    I may reverse my tentative support for Obama because Obama is NEVER going to enforce the rule of law about immigration and about what happens when immigrants arrive here and how they conduct their business.
    We have two total assholes to choose for President. I’m weighing which is worse: 1) Wholesale takeover of the country by foreigners, or 2) Voting in a guy loved by Wall Street. It’s like having a choice of death by fire or death by drowning. Either way, you’re still dead.

    “Anything that has to do with money and investments carries certain risks. It has never been otherwise.” Q.
    Truly. But it now appears that every “vehicle of investment” is being turned into a quiet (unreported) Ponzi scheme, engineered and approved by the Group of 30. This is not pure gambling and risk-taking; the house is set up to gather in the WHOLE of “excess” wealth for the oligarchs.
    You have no stake in money market funds. Fine and good. Your particular ox is not being gored IN THIS INSTANCE. How ’bout those whose collective 3.2 trillion-dollar ox is soon to lie bloodied and dead?

    On to the conclusion of the article, that you didn’t get to… (I’ll try and correct a few misspellings in the piece to make it more tolerable. 2 parts to save eye-strain.)
    “Conclusion
    At this point it is without doubt that even the government understands that when things turn sour, and they will, the run on the bank will be unavoidable: their solution – prevent money from being dispensed, when that moment comes. The thing about crises, be they liquidity, solvency, or plain-vanilla, is that “price discovery” occurs all at once, and at the very same time. And all too often, investors “discover” they were lied to, as the emperor, in any fiat system, always has no clothes. Just like in September 2008, when the banks were forced to look at each-others’ balance sheet and realize that there are no real assets on the left backing up the liabilities on the right, so the moment of enlightenment occurs are the most importune time: just ask Hank Paulson. Had he known his action of beefing up Goldman’s FICC trading axes would have resulted in the “Ice-Nine’ing” (to borrow a Mark Pittman term) of money markets, who knows- maybe Lehman would have still been alive.”

    “…Perhaps risking the cash access of 20% of US households and 80% of companies was not worth the few extra zeroes in Goldman’s EPS. But we will never know. What we will know, is that now i) the government is all too aware that the market has become one huge ponzi, and that all investment vehicles, even the safest ones, are subject to bank runs, and ii) that said bank runs, will occur. It is only a matter of time. And just as the president told everyone directly to buy the market on March 3, so the SEC, the Group of 30, and Barney Frank are telling us all, much less directly, to get the hell out of Dodge. Alternatively, the game of “last fool in”, holding the burning hot potato, can continue indefinitely, until such time as the marginal utility of each and every dollar printed by Ben Bernanke is zero.”

    For years the Tea Party old folk were chastised by the left for their love of socialized medicine that Obama was looting for the benefit of his peeps. My guess is that Ryan and Romney win that battle for two reasons.
    First is the demographic tsunami of retirees who for the most part are white and who talk incessantly about medicare. I’ll even bet JHK and his social circle talk alot about medicare.
    Second thing, is that the once omnipotent “race card” is about toast out here in flyover country that is beyond the beltway and TV studios.
    And tying it all together we have the president who honestly sounds like a passive-aggressive pshychopath when dealing with whites one step removed from the radical left. He sounds like Asoka (and no I really do have sympathy for our friend Asoka)

    ‘nepotism’:
    Have you read ‘The Dark Side of Man’?
    If not, do so. Its not that such didnt exist before, its now the USA is being flooded with Asians, Mexicans etc. They have no ‘need’ to assimilate, with the narrative being ‘equality’
    ‘diversity’ and ‘multi lingualism’.
    In Bev Hills the voting ballot is now in Farsi.
    In NYC, school is taught in 120? languages, maybe more by now. Why should the ‘huddled masses’ learn ‘our’ ways when we pay them to maintain theirs?
    Santa Monica College has over 1000 illegals [well as of y day maybe they did their paperwork on Obongos new mini dream ax] yet the requirements to get a degree are for ‘Global Citizenship’ and the school prez is a glib Chinaman. [or some diversity].

    Call me cynical (go ahead, it doesn’t hurt my feelings) but the majority of the suckers/voters in this country don’t appear to have tumbled to the fact that all national politics [at every root hair and branch tip] is about money and who gets it (and who doesn’t). It’s certainly not about grand social philosophies and their practical implementation.
    And somewhere (some time ago), some damn fool wrote that the love of money was the root of sumpthin’ ‘r other… I ferget…

    gee, I wonder why there are all of those Filipino nurses. Maybe because Murikan kids don’t want to study to learn for a tough job. Nursing is not an easy profession. Also, nursing education is expensive. A local state school dropped its nursing program because our wonderful gov. Corbett cut funds to schools.
    Also, the Philippines does not have any plan for retires, so children must support them in their old age. The article below is about a doctor who came to the US as a nurse to support his parents in a decent style, which he could not do with his pay as a doctor there.

    Get your jingoism on this fall! A remake of the 1984 film “Red Dawn” will be released in November. The original had Russian and Cuban paratroopers invading midddle America and occupying a large chunk of the country. In this version, North Korea invades America and once again the Wolverines high school jocks and their girlfriends take to the hills to mount a Mujahideen-like insergency. The flimsy plot has the bad guys detonating a nuke high in the atmosphere to knock out all electronics and communications with an electromagnetic pulse and then invading while US defenses are crippled. Apparently, the film was first written as a more plausible Chinese invasion, but the producers didn’t want to risk losing box office sales in the lucrative Chinese market. I think even the least informed Americans will realise the ubsurdity of a little country like North Korea attacking with an occupying army and will automatically see “China” in their mind’s eye as they watch asian paratroopers dropping into suburban neighborhoods and machine gunning the citizens.
    Now, would a November release date have anything to do with an upcoming election in that month in which a certain candidate has been accused of treacherously exporting US jobs to China? If this candidate’s backers have been on the ball, there will be a another patriotic film in the pipeline to counter the “Red Dawn” propaganda. Perhaps a remake of “The Mouse That Roared” in which The Duchy of Grand Fenwick is replaced by Canada, hell bent on inflicting its goddamn socialist medicare on Americans, could stir up some anti-Obama voter fear – “The Moose That Roared”.

    You are a minority … Assoka
    Really asshole? WTF does that matter? How many times have you seen in history small elites rule overwhelming majorities and impose elite customs and language and culture and transform those of the majority?
    Let’s look at historical examples: how many Spaniards did it take to overturn and subjugate longstanding Amerindian kingdoms? Hundreds? Maybe in the low thousands? Maybe you can google it and educate yourself and then let us know.
    How many European settlers established footholds in North America? Pissant numbers compared to the existing Amerindian societies. No? And look at what happened.
    Also: the Turkish invasion of Anatolia. How many Turks do you figure came storming into that ancient cradle of civilization? 100,000? Maybe 200,000? Maybe you can google that too.
    Another: how many warriors did Boudicca muster against Paulinus? 100,000? Maybe 200,000? How many men did Paulinus have? 10,000? 11,000 tops? Didn’t work out so well for Boudicca did it? Seeing as the Romans were there for another three centuries give or take.
    How many men did Julius Caesar march into Gaul with? 50,000 maybe? And he conquered Gaul which had maybe a population of 4 million? And the Romans imposed their language and laws and civilization.
    Look at Jews. Tiny numbers yet their religion spawned others and with their culture and ideas transformed the world. Look at Jesus and Moses and Peter and Saul of Tarsus. And Einstein. Jewish, no? And Marx. How many Europeans have Judaic names? Like Michael.
    All these conquests, armed or otherwise, were pretty transformational despite the small numbers of conquerors. Wouldn’t you say?

    “Maybe because Murikan kids don’t want to study to learn for a tough job. Nursing….”
    -mudmike, brainwashing complete-
    Ah, yes, MM – immigrants are doing the jobs American’s won’t do.
    Let’s review the steps of brainwashing:
    Start with a relatively true statement.
    There are jobs native born ‘Merkins avoid because the work is hard and the PAY IS LOW.
    Add an extreme idea:
    We must have huge numbers of legal and illegal immigrants because otherwise crops will go unpicked and patients will go unattended.
    A supporting statement from Mike of Mud:
    “Murikan kids don’t want to study to learn for a tough job.”
    =================
    Yep, we’ve identified another common brainwashing paradigm.
    And seriously, Mike. I live in a college town. The nursing program there is full, with a waiting list. The graduates are studying hard to qualify for a competitive job market.
    A competitive job market in which pay, benefit levels, and job security are slowly diminishing – due to an oversupply of nurses from other countries.
    In this case it is the hospital CEO’s and the Health Insurance Companies that are pushing for H1B visas for more and more nurses.
    Because I’ll guarantee you that existing nurses and patients are generally opposed to this program.
    ======================
    Yet, MudMike has bought the brainwashing that helps to kill hope alive – for today’s nursing graduates.

    prog,
    You won’t get any argument from me that raising wages would get more Americans in these jobs. However, it would still not be enough because of the low status of nursing jobs. However, then the cost of health care would go up even more, if we keep the for-profit health care system we have now. the CEO pay would also have to increase to keep up with nurses’ pay. After all they have to be paid at least 500 times what the workers are paid.
    H1B visas are a disaster taking away engineering and technical jobs too. The latest I saw was a group planning to buy a cruise ship and anchor it >12 miles off of San Fransisco, so they could house foreign programmers without the H1B visas.

    Oh, I get it. America consumed too much and exercised too much influence during the 20th century. Such intemperance can only be due to inherent evilness on the part of the American people, right? Not, emphatically, due to the general innocence of the age – such as Cold War fear response and the prevailing worldwide belief that all wants and needs could be supplied by a techno-triumphalism that America was generally accepted to represent and which the lagging nations were all too eager to emulate.
    No, the American people must accept indictment that all the world’s current problems are direct consequence of traits unknown to other peoples or nations. That is, Americans must adopt the belief – no matter how contrary to historical evidence — that only our nation has a history of racism, injustice to minorities and native peoples. Too white and too European is implicit explanation for America’s accused evilness. Oh yeah, the white devil.
    Somehow I also failed to grasp the presence of a Manichaean mechanism operant; oppositional forces of absolute evil and absolute good. Evil; Eurocentric whiteness,… of course. Good; all the other races of color and diverse cultural backgrounds (which, by the way, carry on atrocities against one another only as anomalous behavior, caused not by tendencies common to all humans, but…., of course, by singular evil influence of the Euro-whites).
    Hey, I get it! I’m now seeing with the eyes of Obama and the self proclaimed Liberal Left: Remedy to the world’s problems amount to the single measure of dissolving America as a sovereign state. Yeah, remove its borders and allow all the beleaguered overpopulation of the world to flood in. Then, true to such mystical beliefs of fate, magically Mother Nature’s harsh degree about carry capacity limitations would be suspended. Then, no matter population growth rate, no consequence will follow such as loss of species diversity, or wilderness, or wildlife habitat, or ecological collapse, and all would be fed to satisfaction of all cultural dietary habits and we’d all abound in ecstatic cultural diversity without friction. And,….with room left over..
    Damn, why didn’t I grasp this happy news earlier?

    American jingoism in the 1950s said we were the best, most productive workforce on earth and everyone believed it until the playing field was leveled and Americans turned out to be spoiled whiners who could not or would not compete with those coming here. Thank God for H1B visas. They put the lie to America’s supposed belief in free market competition and showed Americans for what they are: fat, lazy, selfish, and stupid… Unable to compete globally. Social Dawinism is another belief we were taught: survival of the fittest. But when the fit immigrants began arriving, that lie was exposed, too. Pussies. Happy when you were exploiting the rest of the world. Whiners when the world showed up here and outperformed Americans in industry after industry.

    Few first generation immigrants assimilate. Learning a new language as an adult is tough.
    My grandmother never learned English as did many immigrants of the early 1900s. Chicago was full of ethnic neighborhoods, where immigrants congregated. There were neighborhoods for Czechs, Poles, Italians, Germans and others. In those areas you saw signs in their languages and heard these languages spoken almost exclusively. Even though they were in a new country they wanted familiar things and people around them. While the first generation didn’t assimilate, their children did, and still do assimilate.

OK, can you give me the diversity ratio formula to be applied to denote the point where penance has been served and sovereign self-determination as national right has been restored to whatever remains of America?
    And oh, will all nations across time and space be required equal penance for like behaviors? Behaviors, BTW, which history shows to be common across all of history.

    MMike, you have begun to admit that you are brainwashed, except now you are trying to shift the question to maintain your own correctness.
    Which points out one of the pernicious things about brainwashing – it HURTS when you try to give it up.
    You had conceded that higher pay would fill the “jobs that Americans won’t do,” with – wait for it –
    American Workers.
    And then you come up with this:
    “raising wages would get more Americans in these jobs. However, it would still not be enough because of the low status of nursing jobs.” -mudM-
    Ah, Mike of Mud, now you argue that it is not the money at all, it is the STATUS of the job that requires huge numbers of immigrants to fill them.
    (all this despite the fact that nursing remains fairly high status. and that garbage collecting, gator hunting, septic tank pumping, and a host of other GENUINE LOW status jobs are reliably filled by HORDES of native born US citizens.
    ======================
    You are making an evilly racist argument Mike, when you go off down this road, IMO.
    In essence, you are saying,”Native born Americans are so deserving, so wonderful, so special – that there are nasty and degrading jobs inside the borders of the US which MUST be filled by persons who are not born inside of the US.
    And you don’t strike me as a classic “racist,” MMike – so please elaborate.
    (and please remember that domestic unemployment is running high – as you formulate a response.)

    You are on the ropes, muddMike.
    “thus a comment about Americans cannot be racist.”
    -mm-
    Seriously – what have you been smoking, MM.
    Every immigration debate turns on charges of “racist,” especially on CFN.
    And as regards your FOX news link, here’s the way it ends:
    “K&D Farms raises tomatoes on about 40 acres of rolling farmland, is eliminating one entire field from production this year in hope of having enough workers to harvest the rest. Sitting on a tractor during a break, he said he hopes the cutback is large enough to compensate for a second year of labor shortages.
    “If it’s not I guess we’ll sell out and find something else to do,” he said.”
    This is SUPPOSED to be the way American free-market capitalism works.
    And we’re overpopulating the US and probably destroying ecosystems all over the World – so that KD Farms can have CHEAP exploitable labor and the American consumer can have slightly cheaper tomatoes.
    Is a cheap tomato really worth all of this?

  448. muddmike August 16, 2012 at 9:41 pm #

    prog,
    Maybe you and some others are racist, but my comments applied to ALL Americans, no matter what race or religion. You are the one who read into it that I was only talking about White Americans.
    Unemployment in Alabama is at about 7.5%. Why aren’t these people picking the tomatoes? Why doesn’t the farmer offer higher wages? Isn’t that the way the free market is supposed to work? If they need more workers, then they raise the pay.

  449. progress4spam August 16, 2012 at 9:57 pm #

    why doesn’t the farmer offer higher wages?
    -because he’s competing with farmers in other states who RETAINED the cheap exploitable labor that Alabama is attempting to outlaw
    why aren’t the 7.5% unemployed in AL picking?
    – because they would rather collect unemployment, cook meth, or live in Mama’s basement – first.
    =====================

    Nevertheless, just for you, I will change my earlier statement to read:
    “You are making an evilly CLASSIST argument Mike, when you go off down this road, IMO.
    In essence, you are saying,”Native born Americans are so deserving, so wonderful, so special – that there are nasty and degrading jobs inside the borders of the US which MUST be filled by persons who are not born inside of the US.
    And you don’t strike me as CLASSIST MMike – so please elaborate.

    Yeah –
    29 Million Unemployed US Citizens – right now.
    -more or less, depending on who does the counting-
    We will allow 1 million LEGAL immigrants this year.
    And nobody knows how many illegal immigrants.

    Someone explain how this is supposed to all work out.
    Especially when a US worker burns more fossil fuel and does more global environmental damage – than does any worker, ANYwhere on Earth.

    No, I am saying that young Americans have such a high sense of entitlement that they do not want to fill those jobs.

  452. muddmike August 16, 2012 at 10:11 pm #

    prog,
    The US allows so many immigrants because the corporatists want to keep the workers desperate. That is also the reason why they push the right to work for less laws through ALEC and do everything they can to destroy unions.

  453. progress4spam August 16, 2012 at 10:27 pm #

    So, are you shilling for the “corporatists,” with your denigration of “young Americans” and your support of present high rates of legal AND illegal immigration?
    Because you appear to not be looking at the situation as an objective citizen of the US should be looking at it.

The business is promising towards the customers to give high tech functions in good deal with out limiting in the standard of the product or service. Micromax has now acquired sufficient acceptance on the market and provide the robust competition for the co makes like Karbonn, Wynn, Gee Golden shower, H 5 etc. along with the well known cell brand names also for example Nokia, Straight talk samsung,nfl jerseys authentic, Whirlpool etc. Indian native mobile information mill overloaded using the handsets of Micromax cellular. It can be concentrating not simply the elementary people and also getting the youth by its appears and fashoins.

    29 Million Unemployed US Citizens – right now. -more or less, depending on who does the counting- We will allow 1 million LEGAL immigrants this year.

    Sounds like the US Citizens have the immigrants outnumbered by about 29 to 1. May the most qualified create employment since this is a free country.
    Warning: the immigrants will not wait around for a handout. The immigrants will create their own employment, starting out on the bottom. They will not apply for mid-level management or CEO positions to start out. They will get to work, immediately.
    Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the US Citizens. They aren’t hungry enough or idealistic enough.
    I want this country flooded with immigrants, because immigrants are not afraid of work, are not qualified for entitlements, and are as qualified or more than the US Citizen, which is really what has you scared.
    You think US Citizens should have some kind of priority. You think US Citizens should be given the opportunity to work before immigrants. Sorry. It doesn’t work that way. The most qualified are often immigrants, the most creative are often immigrants, the go-getters are often immigrants. The immigrants don’t wait around for special dispensations or government handouts. The early bird immigrant gets the worm.

    There may be some truth to that. In that case and to that degree, Americans will have to change. In any case, the answer is not millions more immigrants.
    And of course, they were let in so they could be exploited. But then they exploit us once they learn to work the system. Neither is good, so why argue for one over the other?
    The Republicans like the system the way it is so they can exploit them. The Democrats want to make them all voters. Both are bad. This issue is a marriage made in hell between the two parties. And it is coming to an end since the Democrats have succeeded in making millions legal. They will all vote Democrat and we’ll never see another Republican President. The Republicans may have figured this out and may begin to try to backstep the demographic nightmare – but it’s very late in the day. It seems to me that they sold their place in the sun for quick proftits.

  458. Vlad Krandz August 16, 2012 at 11:26 pm #

    And then what? Surely you don’t think the wheel stops there? Exploit us and we’ll claim our just revenge on those that sold us out and those who seek to replace us.
    Spirituality is about stopping the wheel of karma. But who wants to when their turn to be on top has come? Rare souls. As Emerson said, souls are saved one by one, not in groups.

    “You think US Citizens should have some kind of priority”, to quote you. Damn, I think your are getting the point Asoka: citizenship is supposed to equate to exclusive privilege. That is if government is representative of the will of the sovereign citizenry (which, by the way, are opposed to amnesty and the Dream Act by overwhelming margin).
    You know, I believe your opinions are tinged with more than just a little megalomania; that hyper sense of self righteousness that makes you unable to address the dilimma of modern reality in terms aside from hyperbole. Real pathology Asoka, unable to see human behavior as general but instead seeing all good parsed from evil along color lines. Oooh,did I just infer racism on your part?

    Might Romney be the first president with foreign bank accounts? That inspires confidence.
    Is it me, or does it seem like he is not that enthusiastic about the whole process of campaigning? I can see Romney being on permanent semi-retirement as president, unless he gets Republican control of both houses of Congress and can get his commands instantly obeyed, like at Bain. He will get frustrated if he can’t get done exactly what he wants, and will end up setting a new record for time spent out of Washington. He doesn’t seem to like politics and seems to want to become president because that is as high as a person can go, or something. I fear we will discover that successful businessmen don’t always make good politicians. The two fields are quite different requiring different skill sets.

    Well, when Asoka goes bonkers, he doesn’t go half way. What’s hilarious about this constant placing of native born Americans at the back of the line is that the main players … Filipinos, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indians … would NEVER allow foreigners to dig out enclaves of power in their native countries. NEVER!!!
    America, as Vlad has pointed out to us patiently over and over and over again, is the “Self Destructive Country”. It’s like we have some sort of cultural death wish. Of course, I didn’t even read the Asoka comment you commented upon nor do I intend to.

    Peculiar (more like disturbed) tact you’ve taken on the subject of representational democracy, describing it as, “quaint nationalistic ideas about sovereignty”.
    Is your message that the principles “Of the people, by the people and for the people” apply only to nations composed of some PC correct ratios of race,ethnicity,religion,etc., but — emphatically — certainly not majority caucasian nations?
    I guess I’m mistaken in my understanding that the whole point of sovereign nationhood is for protecting the citizens’ right to elect its own distinct (and even unique) destiny.
    That is, with regards to stablizing population at sustainable level, distinct from other nations less able to confront 21st Century reality objectively rather than clouded by archaic beliefs.

    Heres some interesting, thought provoking quotes:
    http://www.lpboulder.org/quotes/
    ~~~
    Looked at Romney’s website the other day with the attitude of an open-minded voter. Clicked on “issues”. “Environment” is not listed as an issue. Figured the message is clear: fuck the environment. But how? So I clicked on “Regulations”. Therein I found the answer: Romney advertises his plan to strangle and suppress the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which he blames for harming industry, innovation, and business.
    Meanwhile Germany is meeting half of its daytime electrical needs via renewables, including a hefty amount of solar…
    I think young people would direct the development of the country’s infrastructure toward a sane, sustainable future, but there is little opportunity to do so in an era where productive capacity is difficult if not impossible to start from the ground up, the legal costs astronomical, the tax basis incomprehensible, and the civic society incoherent.
    IBM, Walmart, GM, GE, HP, Apple: these are the children of America. A hundred years ago there was hardly any adult above the age of 13 not gainfully employed in some form of skilled labor. Today’s youth are run through a gauntlet of standardized testing which sorts losers and winners; they graduate to insecure dead-end jobs which are tedious and dehumanizing.

    though Adam Gopnik came close recently via a scholarly disquisition in a recent New Yorker that left out most of the comedy – because it is a cardinal rule of our anemic culture that any and all belief systems are equally valid.

    Adam Gopnik
    JHK’s referenced article, where you will read:
    Concerning the book of Mormon:
    The book seems to be merely a prosy detail of imaginary history, with the Old Testament for a model; followed by a tedious plagiarism of the New Testament. The author labored to give his words and phrases the quaint, old-fashioned sound and structure of our King James’s translation of the Scriptures; and the result is a mongrel—half modern glibness, and half ancient simplicity and gravity. The latter is awkward and constrained; the former natural, but grotesque by the contrast. Whenever he found his speech growing too modern—which was about every sentence or two—he ladled in a few such Scriptural phrases as “exceeding sore,” “and it came to pass,” etc., and made things satisfactory again. “And it came to pass” was his pet. If he had left that out, his Bible would have been only a pamphlet.

    It’s really difficult to get one’s arms around the idiocies infusing your posts. If one can stop laughing that is. There’s so much there. Where to start, where to start.
    You say: “You and your kind will become increasingly irrelevant and disappear. You are antiquated.”
    In July you stated that you support the “two-state” solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict. So why the support for such antiquated irrelevancies?
    Maybe you think that the views of Palestinians and Muslims in general are “antiquated and irrelevant”. You should tell that to the people living on the Gaza strip or the West Bank. They have email and websites. What about it Assoka? Educate them.
    Jews didn’t have a country of their own until recent decades. Which meant that they had no means of collective defence. And the result? The Holocaust. One third of the worldwide Jewish population dead and European Jewry effectively eradicated. I think that from the perspective of a 20th and 21st Century Jew, given the continued threats to their existence, the idea of a nation state is anything but quaint or irrelevant or antiquated.
    You, asshole, have had the benefit of a massive military and a continent sized country with two oceans as buffers. You have the outlook of a privileged, spoiled rotten, skinny-chested, no-ass, lungless white boy that has never had to worry about his personal survival nor that of his family and that seldom leaves the confines of his leafy green neighborhood or college campus and never sees the outside world as it actually is.

    Only in Amerika can a ‘community activist’ become President and start writing Trillion dollar checks.
    8-7-12: The fallout from Solyndra is apparently far from over for the Obama Administration. Last Thursday, emails were released that showed, among other things, that the CEO of Solyndra called the Obama Administration the “Bank of Washington,” that then-White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was the one who pushed President Obama into the deal, and that the administration “love[d]” Solyndra.
    But that’s not all!
    The Washington Examiner reports that taxpayers will recover just $24 million from the $527 million spent by the company.
    Just like the auto bailouts, taxpayers will only recover a small percentage of what they were forced to “invest.”
    UPDATE 7-25-12: Thanks to analysts at The Heritage Foundation, a list has been compiled of 12 “green” energy companies which received Department of Energy (DOE) loan guarantees but are now bankrupt.

    You might want to read the Powell Memo which was linked by K-Dog in his 12:59 posting. The Heritage Foundation was set up by members of the 0.01% so their heirs can be hereditary rulers of the country.
    Do they also mention the subsidies to the coal, oil and nuclear industries? Do they mention the fact that the taxpayers are responsible for the cost of major nuclear accidents?

    Life is not a video-game. Life is not lived in the pages of college texts or seminar rooms.
    ===============
    Here you are obviously wrong. Not only is real life happening in seminar rooms and college classrooms, those who occupy positions of power were trained in those same rooms.
    Those rooms are real life and those rooms prepare leaders to continue in real life.
    Your caricatures are funny, though. As if the “real world” is not the one we are living in, as if the “real world” is some kind of a dangerous place, though it bugs you that those who passed through those rooms are enjoying life in places that are not dangerous.

    Ya, antisoak, in JHKs new book ‘Too Much Magic’ he states explicitly that all this ‘Green Energy’ bullshit is basically worthless and a scam. He says the total energy output from solar and wind is less than 3% of petroleum, coal, nuclear etc, and it won’t trend much higher. People around here are always talking about ‘Alt Energy’, in the context that we’d have alt energy in place right now if weren’t for interference of Big Oil, Republicans, Big Business … all the usual suspects.

    German solar power producers have once again set a new world record in solar energy production by pumping 14.7 TWh of electricity into the power grid during the first 6 months of 2012. That’s 4.5% of the total power production during that period. Considering that solar power isn’t baseload power, those TWh’s came in the form of valuable peak-load power covering 10-50% of peak demand every day.
    This record also represents a 50% increase over solar power production during the same period in 2011, something that becomes shockingly obvious considering that photovoltaic power produced a total of 19 TWh’s during the 12 months of 2011.
    While the approximately 1.2 million “solar power plants” owned by households and businesses are producing clean energy from sunshine in record numbers, new solar systems are also being installed throughout the country. Between January and April, another 73,756 solar power systems with a combined capacity of 2,328 MW were installed, according to numbers published by the Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Network Agency). This should put the cumulative installed solar power capacity in Germany at approximately 28 GW as we enter the second half of 2012 (that’s more than China’s 2015 target of 21 GW).
    With political attacks on solar energy being put to rest at the moment, solar power is on track to becoming the 3rd-largest source of renewable electricity this year, right behind wind power and power generated from biomass.

    America has been bs for most of the 20th century. Started reading John Stormer’s sequel to None Dare Call it Treason. You must admit that as we fought the North Vietmanese, we were rendering massive aid to the Soviet Union – and they in turn gave massive aid to North Vietnam. We were quite literally supporting the Enemy. Why? Because it was good business perhaps. Good practice for what was to come in any case. Nations are to be dissolved and the money lenders get stronger with every war and the People weaker.

    Is the book, “None Dare Call it Treason” about the following cases?
    The private citizens on Nixon’s election committee making deals with the Vietnamese government to delay the peace talks.
    The private citizens on Reagan’s committee making a deal with the Iranian government to have them not release the hostages before the election.
    The illegal selling of arms to Iran and then using the money to illegally fund the Contras.
    The Supreme Court going against their states rights stand and the Constitution to select the President of the US.
    Lying the US into an illegal preventive war in Iraq.
    The outing of a covert CIA agent by the Bush administration.
    I thought not, because those acts were actually treason.

    Yes, Treason was written a decade or so earlier though. None Dare Call it Conspiracy was by Gary Allen. That book helped me understand the situation with the image of the vise – with the middle class being crushed between those below (the communists) and the Bankers above. Like all true Conspiracy Writers, Mr Allen admits the incredible truth that the Communists are funded by International Bankers.
    John Stormer’s books are far more detail oriented. Well worth a read, though I’ve never seen a new one – always very old with yellowed paper. These guys fought well and were influential but they couldn’t overcome the mainstream media which mocked them to scorn. The American People chose the easy way, the fun way (it’s fun to laugh at doomsters), the false way. Now their chains are forged and they are meekly holding out their hands for fitting.

    Every single football gamer ought to have a pre-sport regimen. When a player often becomes anxious facing a large group or becomes excited out just resolution mistake, an excellent before-game schedule could possibly be the start of having their head area appropriate prior to the sport.

    Before-online game prep needs to be a schedule how the player decides which enables them emphasis and peaceful them selves in front of you video game. For many people, this can be paying attention to tunes or meditating. For many, it entails comfortable-up workouts or psychological visualization. For some just going out or just simple peace and quiet. No matter what it happens to be, inspire your participants to have in a before-game program that receives them ready, concentrated, and confident and above all relaxed.

    Blunders will arise throughout any basketball sport. The members that have a program so you can get back in line will be more more than likely to recovery and be successful. The players that don’t will place their mistake get rid of self-self-assurance and enjoy inadequately. It is necessary that being a basketball mentor getting ready your basketball staff to contend that they’re betting that errors will arise by way of-out the soccer game, it exactly the dynamics associated with a activity. The actual you should develop as a children’s basketball instructor would be to restrict their errors being a whole lot as possible. You need them to try out ambitious, not passive, just as if they are often reluctant to generate a error. You need them to be competitive hard at an advanced level at all events and also at occasions for the duration of the temperature of combat, a blunder will be made. So be it! Personally, I’d want my staff fighting challenging making numerous blunders absolutely nothing rivalling and creating no errors!

    In the end, permit people steer clear of the stress and anxiety of competitors through steps to take out the unidentified. Explain what people should really assume in the course of every game. Discuss it major into the online game and exactly how they must manage it.

When gamers explain how they are anxious,discount nfl jerseys, turn it about and say to them they aren’t stressed these are just enthusiastic about actively playing the sport of football!

    Here is something most North Americans probably have not experienced, since nothing similar exists in North America. I go to events like this in South America.

    Según las cifras que maneja la Alcaldía de Bogotá, un total de 490.000 personas han bailado en “Salsa al Parque” al son de 192 orquestas.

    Now that’s a party!
    I don’t know of anywhere else 490,000 people would dance in public to one style of dance to the tune of 192 orchestras, for free, in the public parks, for three days straight. But that is happening in Bogota, with performers like Eddie Palmieri and El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico.
    PURE AMERICANA
    While people in South America (where unemployment is much higher) are enjoying life, the USA is worried about “illegals” and worried about “socialist Obamacare” and worried about nonexistent “voter fraud” and worried about stock values and worried about the DREAM Act and worried about hiding tax returns from the public, and worried about getting out of paying taxes altogether by hiding money in Switzerland or the Cayman Islands.
    The USA is xenophobic, racist, and perverse in its obsession with crime, guns, Muslims, skin color and endless wars.

    BS (great handle) said:
    I have to say, I’m not sure what’s more comical, Eluthero, your claims of CFN’s demise (and calls for its closure) or your continual posts and comments in the aftermath of that claim/request; or E, the angry, embittered, financial conservative libertarian collecting a public employee pension from the state of California.
    ************************************************************
    You’re a pretty unobservant person for someone who has a more or less constant presence around here. Don’t you notice that my few posts often follow two WEEKS when I disappear. I *never* stated anything but what I’ve done i.e., become a very INFREQUENT visitor and I have not gone away from that.
    Hasn’t it ever occurred to you that a person can, AS A RESULT OF BEING A STATE EMPLOYEE, grow embittered about the public sector? In other words, you think a person’s belief systems are static, unchanging things from birth, unaffected by a life’s worth of experience. Moreover, I retired YOUNG because I saw that the school and my Department were breaking down and nothing but dross was coming out of CA high schools.
    I earned my pension, dude, and unlike the California Public Employees Retirement System, a .edu, I get my pension from the California TEACHERS Retirement System, a .com … a PRIVATE entity.
    So, I implore you to do two things: 1) Read what people ACTUALLY say and not what you CONSTRUE, 2) Know that human life includes things like epiphanies and growth … I wasn’t always a conservative but working for a corrupt bureaucracy created this revelation in me, and 3) Try to understand the difference between a corrupt entity like CalPERS and it’s untenable promises versus private sector pensions. In other words, try next time to know what the fuck you’re talking about.
    Just because I was a teacher, and a damned rigorous and great one who created real careers and callings for people, doesn’t mean that I support: a) My union which we are FORCED to join (I hate their coddling of upper management do-nothings), or b) The management top-heavy bureaucracies. I didn’t pick ’em and I was their arch enemy … you can take that to the bank.
    Finally, as for “voting for Mittens”, if you actually READ my post instead of scanning it, you know that I actually detest BOTH candidates and their parties but, instead, you construct a “straw man” who is a radical supporter of Mittens when I said that I only like ONE thing about him.
    Just because I hate balkanization and reverse racism makes me neither a “rightist” or a Nazi. I have plenty of liberal friends who’ve had it up to their eyeballs with the wholesale ceding of this country to foreign enclaves. Only dimbulbs like you remain who appear to think everything’s just going swell.
    Gawd … you knee-jerk libs are, in your own way, as close-minded as Bible Belt Pentacostalists. Your beliefs are entirely constructed … FROM A DATA-FREE VACUUM.

    I see this election cycle as pure “Bad Theater”(SNL)
    Welcome to the Theater of Cruelty—that’s our future
    Ryan, the great Ayn Rand acolyte was handing out “The Fountainhead” to fellow Republicans and bragged that Rand informed his political aspirations. Now he’s pretending not to have understood what “Objectivism” was. So is he intellectual or stupid?
    He has to walk back the ideology since there’s an interview on file with Rand saying she wanted to do away with organized religion. Why we can’t have that, now can we? What will the religious right think? __Oh he’s a good Irish Catholic boy.
    Romney demanded 10 years of tax records from his VP choices, but he can’t do that himself. Why he’s too far above showing us anything about himself. We don’t know what his economic plan is, all we need to know is that he thinks he deserves to be in the White House.
    Won’t he look handsome behind the big desk in the Oval Office. Like an empty shirt model–Couldn’t you just see him in GQ.
    In the meantime he’ll let Ryan run the country. Do the Middle East neocon-con job and suck up more middle class money. War is very profitable for some, especially when they have the giant honey pot of tax-payer money to feed from. Let’s not talk about the off-shored trillions of the elite in the Swiss and Grand Cayman banks.—Oh but we have to give them everything we have to continue the wars for their benefit.
    Say goodbye to the social safety net which we all paid into. If it doesn’t get continually contributed to, it will become insolvent even for those on it now. In the meantime the “talented” banksters pay nothing into the system, but get untold $Trillions to stay solvent. Why? Cuz they’re so talented….
    Yes, Obama promised that the bailout would help homeowners on the other end, and $billions are still not in play, here. I guess the banks want the money for themselves.
    Yes yes, there’s dark money with evil commercials that will stir up the rabble. Yes, yes the Citizen’s United case opened the door to a new movie coming out to tell us all about Obama, narrative style for a new reality, just like other narratives they make up so they can steal the country out from under us. The Citizen’s united case was originally about a movie about Hillary Clinton claiming that she was mentally ill and an unstable megalomaniac.
    Obama is doing everything the Republicans would do, he just says a few things that amount to nothing. The problem isn’t that Democratic values don’t work, but that Obama is walking the same walk as the Republicans. Don’t get caught up in the empty words these people speak, look at what they do and follow the money.
    Although we are reduced to just having social differences that each party purports to represent, financially and militarily there is little air between them.
    One note of reference to show you how crazy this moment is. We have the leadership of this country as extractors and working inversely to collapse the middle class the golden geese of this economic system while they desperately try to get Assange to do the shock doctrine torture to punish him for telling the banal truth. I may not agree with his release of the material, but I think the value system is totally inverted.
    In the end this is about debt creation and debt peonage. Doesn’t matter who wins, just how it’s implemented.

    ‘conservative libertarian’= You can think for yrself, and he dont like that!

    “Then there is the question of Mitt Romney’s so-called faith, the preposterous fairy tale called Mormonism.”

    Joseph’s Myth is nothing compared to the official version of 9/11.
    If you can believe the preposterous fairy tale called “the official version of 9/11”, you should have no problem believing Joseph Smith’s hallucinations are 100% factual.

    Why do you continue to engage me, Rhino? – Assoka
    Why? Because there’s so much in your posts that’s just stupendously and cosmically full of shit.
    Much of it is merely comically full of shit and that nonsense I usually just laugh at and otherwise ignore.
    The problem, as I’ve said before, is that your posts are a conduit for the simplistic idiocy that permeates and ails so much of politics in the western world and not just the USA. Americans are exceptional in many ways but not in that. Ideology, if it reflects reality, provides a framework for living and working and a basis for organizing a political community.
    That’s IF ideology reflects reality. But that’s not what I see nowadays and haven’t seen in most of my lifetime. Rather ideologies have been a refuge for simpletons, very often college or university educated. You know, people that can’t grasp complexity or fact or logic, people that can’t judge fairly and reasonably, people that can only deal in absurd assertion and over simplification.
    What you mouth week in and week out on this site is a reflection of the cretinism that’s been festering especially on campuses for decades and not just in the US. And the awful thing is that these college educated buffoons carry the intellectual (if you can call it that) baggage that they pick up on campus into the real world, assume positions of leadership economically, socially and culturally and corrode and undermine and harm.
    Here’s a small tidbit of destructive misinformation/misrepresentation: you say that people in South America are “enjoying” life. Spoken like a true one percenter. No doubt some and maybe many people there are “enjoying” life. With enough money it’s possible to live sumptuously and safe and secure in privileged enclaves and avert your eyes and rationalize (ie it’s the natural order of things) the poverty (and its taskmaster, corruption) that pervades large parts of the continent.
    Here’s another: you say the USA is racist and xenophobic. So on the one hand so many folk of your own political coloration implore the wider world to not paint, for example, Muslims as all being religious extremists and thugs and to not portray Islam as a psychotic death cult. Which is fine. Then what do you go and do yourself? I’ll quote you directly: “The USA is xenophobic, racist, and perverse in its obsession with crime, guns, Muslims, skin color and endless wars.”
    Your portrayal of Americans as monolithic is imbecilic. No other word for it.
    And you ought to know, asshole, about skin color and racism being a self avowed racist yourself. But “xenophobic”? Just for once pull your head out and walk down the street of any American city away from your own white, wealthy ghetto and open your eyes. What do you see? I’ll bet that in any community of any size in the US if you actually look and listen you can see people from virtually every major race, ethnicity and language group in the fucking WORLD. Most of them LEGAL immigrants, allowed into the country via a LEGAL process by the fine citizens of the United States of America. Xenophobic? Bull. Shit.
    As far as life being “lived” on college campuses, sorry, not buyin’ it. Been there, done that. College, in some faculties and fields of study (ie medicine, the hard sciences, engineering) really is a PREPARATIION for real life. But too often college is just a place to work very sparingly, party a great deal, hook up, get drunk, stoned and laid. Compared to real life as it is actually lived college is a multi-year holiday with a crushing debt load to pay at the end.

    Hey, Q.,
    Remain calm; the market is safe and stable;
    =============
    It appears I’m a couple of steps ahead of Soros. I own NO large bank (financials). I DO own small amounts of Gold (IAU) and Silver (SLV). Mostly I own stodgy-old-fart, high-dividend-paying stocks like CL, GE, PEG, KFT and MRK that have long histories of paying quarterly dividends and of raising dividend payouts (usually) once per year.
    I think you (and Asoka) have misconstrued my relative calm about the financial system. I see nothing on the horizon that would make me close my nearby Bank of America checking account and move it to a distant credit union. In the event of a “run” on the banks credit unions would be just as vulnerable.

    Hi, LB, hope this finds you well. I hope you checked out the link I provided to Buck Stud about how insanely similar Mittens and Barry are when push comes to shove. It’s not far above your recent post.
    Normally, I’m a big skeptic of Alex Jones’ Infowars site but this list of FORTY similarities is a legitimate list and one might consider only a few of them as reaching or petty.
    American politics has reached rock, absolute bottom with the choice of these two clowns. They’re both guilty of fantastic exceptionalism. I don’t know if you’ve followed the way Obama has used government airplanes and agents to provide lavish parties on other continents for his kids. He’s acting like a college athlete who just got drafted to the NFL and is dizzied by going from the poorhouse to the penthouse in one go.
    Mittens … well, there’s no covering for this dude whose running mate has even chosen a hairdo exactly like Reagan’s. Ayn Rand, to me, is an adolescent dweeb’s theoretical economics because it pretends that if two people shake hands on a deal it MUST be morally okay. If one guy gets duped, well then, tough luck sucka.
    However, Nobel Laureate Barry has not only done NOTHING in four years to merit the Peace Prize but he’s kept REPUBLICANS on the job from Dubya’s administration (Gates and Bernanke) in charge of armaments and money. Gee, d’ya think those are important areas???
    On the forty points list, you’ll see that Mittens and Barry both think highly of a great many people like Bernanke. This is a circus like none other and I only wish H.L. Mencken were alive to see this biggest farce of an election in US History.
    This makes even Obama/McCain look good and represents the terminal phase of this country’s existence IMHO. I’m actually pulling for Mittens so that we can see him try to dismantle whatever little safety net is left to the middle class. That way, we’ll see if the American public is even capable of revolution or if, as I suspect, they’re a bunch of TV-narcotized ninnies who can’t even organize their family life much less a MOVEMENT.
    We must always remember that our politicians really DO represent what we have become SPIRITUALLY.
    E.

    Talking about cosmically and stupendously full of shit, this business about not taxing “job creators” takes the cake. Nobody can say it as wide eyed and straight faced as Ryan.
    So yeah, if people believe that bit of tripe then of course we have to give them everything we have. Because they’re “job creators”. Right? If you don’t bend over they’ll off shore the whole kaboodle to China.
    Come to think of it they’ve already offshored the whole kaboodle to China, they’ve offshored their money too.
    So what exactly the fuck have they got over the fine people of the United States of America? Exactly nothing IMO. They’ve taken American jobs and moved them overseas, taken their money and done likewise.
    So what is there to fear from them? What can they do to you now? You can raise marginal tax rates to the sky and what damage can it do?
    Oh, the “job creators” will leave? Good, the sooner the better. Matter of fact the US Treasury should pay their tickets and their moving costs. Why not, after all thanks to Greenspan and Bernanke the greenback is a fantasy now anyway.

    I’m not sure what’s more comical, Eluthero, your claims of CFN’s demise (and calls for its closure) or your continual posts and comments in the aftermath of that claim/request
    ==========
    Let’s quantify this. I used the Edit/Find tool to examine the last 5 weeks worth of posts by E. The results are:
    Week beginning:
    7/16 9
    7/23 10
    7/30 9
    8/6 1
    8/13 11 so far
    Avg per week 8
    Some interesting observations about E’s posting pattern are these:
    1. Weekly output is quite consistent
    2. He never posted on the first day (Monday) of the new thread. (Wussup with Mondays?)
    3. Typically his posting begins around 4-4:30AM Eastern Time which would be 1-1:30AM where he lives. Thus E is probably like my son Thom, a “night person.”
    4. Excluding the anomalous week beginning 8/6 E averaged posting on 5 of the 7 days in a week. On days that he posted his output was:
    1 post on 6 days
    2 posts on 7 days
    3 posts on 2 days
    4 posts on 2 days and
    5 posts on 1 day,
    hardly a blabbermouth by CFN standards.
    That Edit/Find tool makes a study like this so easy I decided to check Asoka’s output over the same time span. I didn’t realize what I was getting myself into. In just the first TWO DAYS (7/16 and 7/17) Asoka posted 43 times. I ended my study right there. It seems IonaLaundromat has a valid point.
    I DO agree, Buck, that it is silly for anyone (E included) to wish for the demise of CFN while being an active participant. If it’s that bad just disappear.

    I know what you mean. When the folks get the hospital bill or the bill for colleges and there’s no way out, because this is going to get very draconian, the question is will they go gently into that good night or will they rage against the dying of the light?
    I was listening to Webster Tarpley on Infowars—great interview with Jones. I passed it onto Wage this morning. (tarpley.net):
    With 50 Million Americans Destitute, Austerity Cuts Mean Genocide– Forget Ron Paul and Occupy; Organize for the Five-Point Program to End Depression, Begin Recovery
    ps will check out the site.
    Yeah, Rhino,
    They’ve done the damage and one could only wish they’d f’ing leave already. Go to Switzerland or New Zealand or where ever the hell you think is better’n here, now that you ravaged the joint!

    asoka,
    Romney said that he never paid less than 13% IN TAXES. He didn’t say INCOME TAXES.
    Also, Romney might not want people to see that he listed his residence as California, when he was voting in Massachusetts.
    Of course his withholding could just be that he believes we don’t deserve to know about him. Just as he does with his tax plans, which are short on specifics, such as whose tax deductions he is going to take away.

    Kate Middleton cover girl per Marie Claire
    L’edizione sudafricana di Marie Claire di agosto ha una cover girl d’eccezione, Kate Middleton. Ma davvero lei o si tratta di un fotomontaggio? Purtroppo solo un ottimo lavoro di photoshop, visto che vige il veto assoluto per la famiglia reale su tutto ciò che gossip, tabloid e giornali scandalistici. Qualche giorno fa ha fatto scandalo uno scatto diffuso a tradimento da una rivista australiana che riprendeva William e Kate mano nella mano alla Seychelles, durante la loro luna di miele dello scorso anno. Figuriamoci se la Regina Elisabetta permetterebbe mai un servizio fotografico per una rivista di moda. Il direttore di Marie Claire, Karras Aspasia, spiega così la scelta della Duchessa di Cambridge in copertina:

    Ci ha molto ispirati il suo matrimonio da favola e la sua vita da moderna principessa, ecco perché abbiamo scelto Kate Middleton come star della nostra copertina per il numero di agosto. La copertina in realtà un’immagine iper- reale di Kate fred perry, vuole essere un omaggio artistico nei confronti della nuova icona della moda reale.

    Avrà apprezzato il regalo da parte di una redazione – e forse di una nazione intera – che si dichiara sua fan? Non dato sapere, così come non sapremo mai se l’abito dello stilista locale Clive Rundle lo indosserebbe mai. Non sembra rientrare nei gusti equilibrati e soft di Kate, ma non da escludere che lo apprezzerebbe visto il colore rosso imperante da lei tanto amato. Qui trovate l’immagine del numero dedicato.Foto | Tm News

    I agree with Vlad that Obama and Biden want a complete dismantling of Euro-white Culture in the USA.
    From the new ‘school punishment act’ [or whatever its called] to Van Jones and all the other anti whites Obama has been groomed by. So I say there are differences. Not just in inviting Common to the White House [common is a rapper or hiphop artiste].
    Does Mittens want as many people on foodstamps as possible?

    These people who create jobs hold all the cards, and they **will** just up and leave if you tax them. Why? Because they can. You’re powerless against them.
    Make your own job, learn a trade or skill you can sell on your own to households – fixing washers/dryers, plumbing, running errands, invent anything that needs to be done and offer it as a service, it can be a hot cup of coffee.
    Do something no one else’s willing to do. You find a niche like that and you won’t pay taxes any more, you’ll keep 100% of what you make, and help out folks of your own free will.
    Screw the old employer employee system.

    Thanks for confirming Iona’s perception that Asoka posts a lot. Of course, anybody who’s been around CFN for a while would quickly figure that out and not pay attention to Asoka’s posts.
    Asoka is way out there and presents points of view just to provoke others. He’s one sick puppy, that Asoka (of course we don’t know if Asoka is a white woman, a Black man, a white man, a Black woman).
    All we know is it’s a waste of time to read his/her posts, and a futile exercise to respond to them.

Mettetevi comodi e partite con noi per un viaggio interstellare tra ciuffi emo, frangette platinate, cotonature di varia natura e pettinature a schiaffo (grande tendenza).Perch in barba a tutti i servizi fotografici e alle sfilate che ci dicono come sistemare la chioma e quale nuance di ombretto mettere di giorno e quale la sera, nelle occasioni come il Festival che la gente prende la vera ispirazione e il coraggio per osare. Fanno da apripista Belen Rodriguez e Elisabetta Canalis, entrambe con il semiraccolto a schiaffo – la riga a sinistra- tutta sfumata e boccolosa; ma forse a San Remo era solo una serata molto ventosa? Perch anche Emma porta in testa un onda di capelli biondi che va tutta da una parte, con le tempie praticamente rasate come farebbe la pop-star Pink.Pierdavide Carone (in coppia musicale con Lucio Dalla) arriva col ricciolo morbido e il baffetto birichino appena accennato; ed tenerezza totale per le nuove proposte, tutti giovanissimi e tremanti ma caricati con cotonature a due piani ralph lauren, ciuffi in 3D alla Bieber portati su giacche borchiate e capelli stile Barbie, biondissimi e sfrangettati. Frangetta sì ma dai toni dark lady, invece, per il caschetto sfilato della cantante dei Matia Bazar e riga in mezzo sul capello lungo di Ivanka, la terza sventolona finalmente entrata in scena a metà serata. Ma ne volete ancora e non state nella pelle per vedere come ci si concerà domani? Restate in ascolto per le nuove idee pazze degli hair-stylist di San Remo.

    Good article there. I liked this part.

    Well, millions of Americans are getting sick of this routine. Perhaps that is why it is being projected that as many as 90 millionAmericans of voting age will not vote this year.

    If they all voted for K-Dog instead I’d be in.
    ☐ Obama (Twiddledee)
    ☐ Romney (Twiddledum)
    ✔ K-Dog (Twiddledewoofwoof, he’s the one)

    And as top dog I’d not be playing top gun.

    Mission Impossible
    Just heard again about the standoff between the Brits (our poodles) and the Ecuadorians who don’t want to behave like a US colony. Good luck with that!
    So my guy and I were trying to figure out what a “Mission Impossible” plot-line might be.
    He said that he should be disassembled in the Ecuadoran embassy and put together again in Ecuador.
    I said he should be reduced to powder, sent to Ecuador through a mule carrying the powder in his/her orifice and when he arrives in his new host country, they just have to add water.
    —-Or snort him!

Such as they will take any shortcut they can get away with, and there is no longer anyone to tell them no.

    Pussy Riot gets two years – a just and lenient sentence. If they were coddled, then it would have been the green light for all the Commies and Jews to start desecrating Churches – yes, just like they did before the Revolution. That really happened B – thousands of churches burned and tens of thousands of priests murdered and imprisoned.
    A couple of the girls look kind of funny – they may well be Jews. As a mixed people, Jews are often strange looking. Maybe Bill can tell from the names or faces.
    Or are you “AOK” with how the Communists treated Christians? Ancient history? Can’t happen again? Really B? Well the real Russian People remember and they don’t intend to let it happen again.

    I have no problem with Whites doing their own dirty work – that’s the ultimate solution. Yes, dark skin helps in Farm work in America, but we’ll deal, just like we did in South Africa. Whites became prosperous and sun block and dermatologists helped with the skin cancer.
    Before one South African farmer was forced out by the Black squatters he wrote them a message. “You bastards will be poor forever”. Killing the White Farmers is killing the golden goose – capable of creating wealth Blacks will never be able to do for themselves. But you all would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven.

    “INVIOLABILITY OF EMBASSIES”
    Support for Ecuador appears to be growing in the region.
    “Britain … is wrong. The threat is not only an aggression to Ecuador, it’s against Bolivia, it’s against South America, against the whole of Latin America,” Bolivian President Evo Morales said on Friday.
    Ecuadorean state media said other nations including Colombia and Argentina were backing Correa’s position.

    No but most White Nationalists have some respect for the old Conservatives who fought the good fight – even though they weren’t racially aware like the Founding Fathers. What gets me is how guys like WSP don’t embrace them since the Constitution says “against all enemies, both foreign and domestic”. Why the exclusive focus on the external? As Cicero says, the deadliest enemy is the enemy within….
    Unfortunately, apparently Robert Welch fell to the Enemy and became their Agent. Can’t give you particulars, but the Authorities in our Movement all say this.

    Nick Wooster Tattoos Nickelson Wooster on His Tattoos Esquire
    Jul28Nick Wooster on Whether You Should Get a TattooBy Nickelson Woosterat 5:59AM This week, in lieu of our usual Blogger Showdown, we took to the Internet to talk tattoos — something you’ll find all over the streets in Brooklyn, the surf havens of California, and the models (both male and female) in Paris. In our mind, there’s no better person to discuss this inky issue than Nick Wooster — tumblr aficionado, style veteran, and owner of the fashion-minded Wooster Consultancy — who’s known in stylish circles for his tailored jackets that hide completely tattooed arms. Since many men are opposed to body modification, it didn’t seem fair to have him spar with a single blogger. So we’ll let his own history stand on it’s own. Should you also consider getting inked? His take below. —Kurt SollerIt started for me in 1993 or 1994. I was in Miami — and this is a bad, clichéd story: I had a pair of white Dries Van Noten sailor pants. So I thought I had to have a sailor tattoo: a heart with a dagger through it that said MOM on my left bicep.My mom was not impressed, by the way.What people say is true: The first one is a gateway drug. It will lead to another: “Oh, shit, I want something else.”I was 39 when I did, essentially, a three-quarter sleeve on my left arm. It was very late in life, which is good: I can’t think of any decision I made at 19 that I’d be happy with at 39 or even now, at 51.What will they look like at 80? You can’t think about it. Look, if I’m still standing at 80, that in and of itself will be a miracle. However I look will be just fine.You can’t worry about it. My face doesn’t look the same way it did at 39. My body doesn’t look the same way it did at 39.The reason there are so many sleeves on guys is because nobody can have just one.Yes, there are probably too many tattoos. But there are too many bad haircuts, too many bad shoe choices, too many bad jeans.Because it’s so permanent, that’s a filter.That’s so scary to me. You can tell when someone has them removed. It’s like plastic surgery. You’re not fooling anyone.I love the idea of being covered-up in a suit and nobody can tell. That’s a conscious choice you have to make, though. I really like neck tattoos and hand tattoos. They’re just not for me.After my left arm, I started my entire right sleeve, which took how many times? I’m such a pussy. I’ll get back to that point, though.I was going to have sleeves and then socks — from my knees to my ankles — but nobody told me when I signed up that the leg is exponentially more painful than the arm. I’ll never finish that leg, short of having an anesthesiologist present. Total pussy.Thinking about the leg is making the hair on the back of my neck stand up.It is a function of age fred perry cuir noir, too. The older you get, the more painful it gets. Your skin loses it’s elasticity. You lose your youth juice.People torture themselves about getting the right thing. It doesn’t matter what it is. It’s about coverage. My opinion is leave it to the professionals. Because I’m not an artist. That’s the other thing that always make me laugh — people who try to art-direct themselves.If I had to do it over again, I would not do color. My body doesn’t keep the red and orange ink as well as the black and gray. I’ve had to get it touched-up more frequently — my body’s poison, I guess. Every three or four years I go back in, which is more of an inconvenience than anything.You really need to put sunscreen on. I give myself a B+.I always say don’t do it when people ask me if they should. I never want to be responsible.And whatever your profession, it could be potentially embarrassing. It may not be appropriate. And once you get one, as I said, you’ll have to get another.These things are expensive.Thanks to The Style Blogger for the tattoo photography.

    Megan Fox e Giorgio Armani presentano i nuovi Rouge d'Armani Sheers
    Una texture morbida come un balsamo e un colore pieno e luminoso? E’ questa la nuova sfida lanciata da Giorgio Armani con i suoi nuovi rossetti Rouge d’Armani Sheers, che grazie al polimero Color Shine Moisture, mantiengono la luminosità del colore e la massima idratazione per pi di 8 ore, senza rinunciare ad avere nuance vive ed intense.L’astuccio classico ed elegante, mentre le nuance proposte sono 12, tra le quali spiccano l’Acid Tangerine 300, uno dei colori must dell’estate 2012, e il Blush 502, un rosa perfetto per i primi look primaverili. Nella palette di colori c’ spazio, però, anche per tonalità pi dark e sensuali abito nero con cintura, come quella indossata dalla splendida Megan Fox, ancora volta musa ispiratrice dello stilista italiano.

    Raquel Zimmermann nel video della campagna YSL a/i 2011-12 girato da Inez van Lamsweerde e Vinoodh Matadin
    Cosa serve per uno shooting moda top-level? Un po’ di bianco fred perry, un po’ di nero e un grattacielo. Et voilà, ecco a voi la campagna Yves Saint Laurent a/i 2011-12; starring la bella Raquel Zimmermann, con ciuffo biondo e sbarazzino sugli occhi, a disturbare la visuale, con conseguente sguardo languido, che fa tanto glam.Nel video, girato a Manhattan da Inez van Lamsweerde e Vinoodh Matadin, si passano in rassegna 14 look della collezione disegnata da Stefano Pilati e ispirata ai capi dell’archivio storico della maison dal 1962 alla fine degli anni ‘70. E per chi non se lo può permettere, via, tutti a copiare Bianca Jagger; capelli a onde, scarpe zeppate, lunghi abiti con scollature verticali, giacche doppiopetto in principe di galles, camicie in seta con le manicone alla d’Artagnan.Dove sta il trucco? Nel bianco e nero, appunto, il codice di questo autunno inverno 2011-12; via libera ai giochi di contrasti, tanto non si può sbagliare, se ci si attiene ai canoni volumetrici, ovvio. E poi si porta il tutto con un certo brio, come nel video in questione, dove i movimenti sono accelerati come in un film degli anni ‘20.

    Raising them how much? Just once as a bonus, or raising them from then on?
    =============
    The way it usually works with these big div paying companies is that they pay the same qtrly div amt for each of 4 qtrs, then they raise it and continue paying that new figure for 4 qtrs, and so on and so on. Take, for example, this 5 year div history on Colgate (CL):
    Apr 2008 qtrly div increased 11.1%, from .36 to .40 (then paid .40 in Jul, Oct and Jan)
    Apr 2009 qtrly div increased 10.0%, from .40 to .44 (then paid .44 in Jul, Oct and Jan)
    Apr 2010 qtrly div increased 20.5%, from .44 to .53 (then paid .53 in Jul, Oct and Jan)
    Apr 2011 qtrly div increased 9.4%, from .53 to .58 (then paid .58 in Jul, Oct and Jan)
    Apr 2012 qtrly div increased 6.9%, from .58 to .62 (then paid .62 in Jul, and will continue to pay .62 in Oct and Jan barring some unforeseen problem)
    In addition to the dividends the stock price rose over this period from $74 to $106.
    If you bought 100 shares of CL at $74/shr in Jan 2008 and held it through Dec 2012 you would collect $940 in divs and have a price appreciation of $3200 (assuming it holds its current price). Your total gain on this stock would be $4140 on an investment of $7400. A 55.9% gain in 5 years.

    Thank you, Q. for this interesting data. Kind of puts the lie to E.’s claim that he just disappears for weeks at a time.

    Oh heck, Asoka, what’s a little fib here or misrepresentation there? Eluthero writes:

    I earned my pension, dude, and unlike the California Public Employees Retirement System, a .edu, I get my pension from the California TEACHERS Retirement System, a .com … a PRIVATE entity.

    But the below doesn’t seem to corroborate E’s claim; perhaps he means another California Teachers Retirement System, LOL:

    CalSTRS presently collects $5.6 billion in contributions. That works out to 18.25 percent of current payroll, with teachers and administrators kicking in 8 percent of their pay, districts paying 8.25 percent, and the state, through the General Fund, adding 2.01 percent. (The state contributes another 2 percent through a separate fund to minimize the impact of inflation on employees’ pensions.) Because CalSTRS currently has an unfunded liability of $56 billion, CalSTRS staff recommended that the Legislature increase the contribution rate 14 percentage points to 32.25 percent of payroll, requiring collecting an additional $4 billion annually. In addition, they suggested adding an additional 1.8 percent of payroll, to 34 percent, to compensate for the CalSTRS board’s latest decision to lower the investment rate to 7.5 percent.

    Obama can’t be a Traitor since he isn’t a citizen in all probablility.

    OK, I’ll play along, Vlad.
    You are inadvertently supporting my argument about the unimportance of being a “citizen” in the USA.
    Non-citizens can go to school, start businesses, pay taxes, and now, according to you, a non-citizen can even become president of the USA!
    Like I explained to Cavepainter, being a “citizen” gives you no automatic priorities over non-citizens … the whole nationalistic “sovereignty” thing is dying. Obama becoming president is proof. Even non-citizens can become presidents!

    BuckStud, don’t let E. get to you. E. is excellent in ad hominem attack, but I don’t believe he was a good teacher.
    He belittles educational administrators, then says they gave him a Teacher of the Year award. Which is worth exactly what, coming from people he despises?
    E. is basically a bitter misanthrope. I wish he would actually take time off, but he is fibbing about that, too.

Look at the number of DAYS in which I post AT ALL because I’m a “bursty” poster. Often, when I check in, I’ll write 4 or 5 posts and then be gone for a week. I’ll respond to several people all at once.
    As for your “love it or leave it” challenge, I can just say that it occupies me for about five hours a MONTH because I write as fast as I think. If this blog went away, I think I could fill in the five hours without a sense of loss. Forty posts in a month at around 7-8 minutes per post is five hours.

    BT said:
    With 50 Million Americans Destitute, Austerity Cuts Mean Genocide– Forget Ron Paul and Occupy; Organize for the Five-Point Program to End Depression, Begin Recovery
    **********************************************************
    Fifty million is about right, BT, and that’s why there are 600 FEMA detention camps which were started way back in 1984 under the Rex 84 program (stands for Readiness Exercise, 1984). There is no way that this many camps would have been built if the government thought the probability of martial law and a suspension of the Constitution was LOW.
    It’s debatable whose brainchild the initial Rex 84 idea was but after the late 1970s and the sharp and deep recession of 1981, the Federal Government definitely saw the potential for mass economic ruin. However, the initial scale of Rex 84 back in 1984 was of a “pilot” size … very small. It’s huge now for the most obvious reason in the world i.e., they know that the streets are eventually going to be flooded with the financially ruined … formerly known as the middle class.
    They are “incrementalizing” this debacle by making it occur in steps. First, the Fourth Amendment has been “Gitmoed”. Then, Presidents usurped the power of the legislative branch. A dictatorship where corporations are “people” and actual people have very few remaining rights. The Congress’ services to wage war are no longer needed or requested. While the IRS hounds native born Americans, foreigners (esp. Mexicans) get extra child tax credits for children still living in foreign lands.
    I believe that we are actually a tacit branch of the People’s Republic of China which is why they are the ONLY country permitted to deal with the Fed without intermediaries. They’ve already ‘eaten our lunch”. Money talks and bullshit walks. Our sovereignty, as a nation and as individual people, was sold down the river decades ago.
    Using FEMA to round up people for Rex 84 camps is only the last minute of a 15-round boxing match where the government has been landing haymakers and the people don’t even know they’ve been getting punched ceaselessly for 14.66 rounds.

    Well the real Russian People remember and they don’t intend to let it happen again.
    **************************************************************
    You’re absolutely right, Vlad. What’s most ironic in the world right now is that the absolute state of the Russian economy under Putin is at an apex perhaps never seen in that country. Putin paid off all of the Rothschild debt and essentially removed themselves from the sphere of that family and its tentacles.
    Russia’s national budget is now in surplus. They’re actually STRONGER than China because China is in a fatal “death embrace” with Western consumerism and they will crash horribly. Russia has the most geopolitical independence of ANY of the great powers left in the world.
    Putin, on this basis alone, ought to be Time Mag’s “Man of the Decade”. However, since the media is largely controlled in America by Jews, he will NEVER receive anything but continued vitriol. Notice how QUIETLY Russia has recovered economically and you virtually never hear about them in the news.

    E.,
    Having read the “Shock Doctrine” I see many of these assaults on democracy stemming from the Nixon Administration. The Cold war didn’t help either, but I see Nixon and the stinkers he brought with him as a turning point in our history.
    Kissinger was indeed the theorist of globalism and the transference of American technical and industrial strength to China. Milton Friedman was using the Chilean coup as his laboratory for his economic model—a pure abject failure. Of course, we engineered the coup when US Copper was concerned with the Scandinavian style socialist orientation of Allende.
    The citizenry experienced torture, and depravation as they were separated from their money. Many committed suicide when they lost their standard of living. After all that, we sent in humanitarian groups. That’s the American way.
    Although I’m not really certain what I think of the FEMA camps, as such, I find Tarpley’s take on history to be very cogent.
    Also don’t know whether you noticed this but Tarpley seems to be more Keynesian and Jones is more conservative, yet they have a great rapport and sometimes debate. Tarpley in an interview last year compared our moment of austerity as the Brüning phase in German history before Hitler.
    Yep, the dye was cast decades ago, but we are about to hit a wall. As I always say. It’s game set and match…they set it up and then they’re ready to reap the benefits when things happen.
    Somone always cleans up when everyone else suffers…

    So, what if they held an election and nobody came?
    Last night on our way home from dinner, we stopped off at Wash Square park.
    It was a gorgeous evening and lots of people were milling around. On the Arc that faces Fifth Ave someone was projecting a twitter feed and it said:
    “Don’t vote for Romney.” “Don’t vote for Obama either”.
    That about says it all. Imagine all the billionaires dumping money onto this show-pony joke for our hearts and minds and the polity says “Hell No!” You just poured billions that could have helped the commons down the drain for your vanity election.
    How do you stop a train from going off the rails?

    it’s indicative of how programmed you americans are, you can only denigrate/praise ‘romney’ vs. ‘obama’ as if they’re going to make a hoot’s difference to your life.
    you’re all so deceived you think there’s an actual difference, while the 2 parties in power are de facto a single party controlled by forces which are expert in psycho-control.
    you won’t wake up, because you secretly love hating the ‘other side’. and thus you are controlled, all the while serving as a lab rat to eat and drink poison, work until you drop just to give them all your money in taxes and absurd medical costs.
    you americans don’t know what real life is.
    your programming is so subtle and insidious you think you have a ‘red’ or ‘blue’ personality. while you have no personality other than one of the two official behaviour modes allowed by your mind controllers.

    Safety is usually a uninteresting time period, however, not with headphones! Basic safety together with your noise closing headphones is importantand here are among the problems you should know.

    Noise cancelling earphones are ideal for the music, movie,beats by dre cheap price, or online game lover who doesn’t want others to always listen to what’s being liked. Audiophiles for example, choose noises eliminating earbuds when they are listening to music at home theater setting. People in flats or university dormitories, as the second illustration, might use earbuds in order that they think before you buy the neighbors.

    In terms of noises eliminating headsets, you can find appropriate occasions for their services and improper times for their services. Sound eliminating earphones go about doing eradicate a lot of qualifications sounds, so that you obtain a cleaner, sharper seem (towards the sound you wish to tune in to!) than in the event you simply used normal headphones. Nevertheless, be sure not to takes place sound canceling headsets while you’re in times in places you will need your feels to help keep you safe and sound and alert. As an example, this sort of head telephone could be appropriate if you are listening in your house movie theater or you might be flying in an aircraft. But it would not be proper if you’re driving a motor vehicle, riding a bicycle, or going for walks straight down a darker street in the heart of the night time. You need to be able to notice as a way to continue to be safe and behave appropriately to noises near you.

    Nevertheless, periodically sound canceling headsets are in fact safer than normal head phones! For instance, if you are in a location wherever it is a lot of background noise and you’ll want to or want to hear sound through your headphones. Regular go mobile phones wouldn’t normally correctly cancel out the background appear, forcing you to definitely generate the sound further, probably creating permanent hearing difficulties. A great pair of sounds eliminating earbuds even though, can remove background sounds in order to hear your personal songs greater.

    And, needless to say, you have the Inchesupset neighborInch who is sick of hearing your music and requesting transform straight down! They will not bang about the wall space of the apartment any longer!

    Other headsets then, are safe in conditions wherever you have to hear the history sounds and also respond to it. However they are not safe if you are instructed to change them up as well noisally to cancel out the peripheral sounds. Other issues of safety with headsets (not simply noise deleting earphones) are cables and wires: take care that you don’t get twisted up in the cables and mains cables for they can actually injure, or perhaps trigger choking! One of them might be should you get to sleep with your earphones on.”

    The existing adage Inchprotection very firstIn . could be uninteresting nonetheless it helps make common sense. Make sure to place safety initial when you find yourself making use of headphones and use the best kinds finest circumstances.
