his has been for too long now, an overpopulated world impoverished by the very fact that it is overpopulated. The conservative religionists, as a result of the hysteria caused by their irrational belief systems, refuse to allow wholesome and proper sex education. Thus they are directly responsible for the burgeoning explosion of population.
There are no longer enough of any natural resources to go around. And what few resources there are, such as oil, metal, air and potable water, are being claimed by giant corporations as if all the earth's natural resources belonged to only the wealthy. And what do they do with these resources which are in fact the only true wealth?
They squander them.
When the Amazon Rain-forest goes, the quality of air on earth will be vastly diminished in a way that is near unthinkable now. All of our options are about to be severely reduced. And more than half of the rain-forest, which is the lung of the earth, the essential organ which makes life possible, is already gone. What was once rich and fertile land of the Amazon Basin, is fast becoming a dry, useless desert.
The fact that so many people cannot see or confront these realities attests to the pervading insanity.
§
§
Since there is no other way to deal with this overpopulation, which only increases exponentially, and in itself will bring about the death of the earth, itself, as a viable planet, and sooner, not later, several groups, working in secret, comprised exclusively of the very rich and powerful, are initiating a drastic plan to rid the earth of a very significant portion of the planetary population by starving the peoples of the earth to death. And those who do not die of starvation will be poisoned.

Monsanto, which originally promised to be the solution to the world's hunger problem has shifted its mission, so that now Monsanto is the venue of delivery of the poison. And the American federal government supports all of this. Granted, it is an extreme response to the failure of reason. Given these failures of reason to reduce population or else all the sooner suffer inevitable extinction, abortion of unwanted fetuses is an extreme but necessary measure to which we, as a civilization, have been reduced. It really is that simple.♦
t has taken me a very long time to get to what exactly it was that Milton Friedman was talking about. When you know where these foul ideas of the Repukes come from, it is easier to understand them. Milton Friedman, is the most radical economics thinker since Karl Marx. Like Marx, the ideas look so good on paper. Too bad his work doesn't work in reality on a large scale. Friedman is responsible for the 3 foul ideas which guided the Ronnie Reagan Administration, and which were directly responsible for the huge foul up of the American economy.
Here, in a nutshell, are Friedman's most damaging and ineffective ideas:
First, All government is too large.
Maximize profit in any way you want. (Even if it means selling defective product. Not to worry, the law prohibits the public from paying for your defective product with a defective check.)
De-regulate De-regulate De-regulate
I do have to agree with Friedman on one thing: Namely, the legalizing of all drugs. However, like so many others, I got there all by myself, without help from Friedman.

f the Tea Baggers, who are mainly funded by the Koch brothers, not to mention the Republican Party, do win in elections throughout the several states so that the GOP really does take back Congress, we will know for sure that the Supreme Court of the United States has truly destroyed Democracy in America.
And for all time.
We know that power once gained will not be willingly returned. That is an axiom of the politics of power.
With its' disastrously partisan ruling on Citizen's United the Supreme Court has undone, literally hundreds of years of careful legislation which was designed to preserve freedom and Democracy in America.
Their first treasonous action was to interfere with the presidential election in 2004. That was, as any good citizen can tell you, a coup d'etat, and most definitely not a valid, nor even constitutional activity of the Supreme Court Of The United States. They stopped the counting of the legitimate votes in Florida, thereby nullifying the votes of those citizens, but then had the affrontery to appoint George W. Bush. the most destructive president ever of the US Constitution. He shredded the Constitution in such a way that we still have to repair.
Hidden in the fog of the Military Commissions Act was the cancellation of Posse Comitatus. Now the Citizen's United ruling. And although President Obama has spoken out against this ruling, for my part I deeply believe that those judges who ruled for it must be impeached and disgraced in every way. It was not merely a bad ruling, but it is treasonous to the entire spirit of Democracy in America.
Any rational American now knows that the wrong headed Republican ideas have single handedly led to the disaster in which we now find ourselves. The Banksters and Wall Street and the vast army of corporate lobbyists who bought the U.S. Congress. The ghost of Milton Friedman litters our country: Small or limited Government has been the cry of Republicans since Ronald Reagan and what they actually do is expand the government but they do it in ways that accomplish their goals. More military. And trickle down economics which turn out to be a patently invalid theory. Bush cut taxes of the rich and we now have fewer jobs than ever before. They lie outright when they claim that any smallest bit of this mess is President Obama's fault. It is all Bush, Bush, Cheney, and Bush. This being true, one asks, how could any rational human being vote for a Republican again.
Answer: Big money can do anything it wants. We are seeing that played out everywhere now. On TV all the expensive attack ads, and on the Internet on the websites of most heretofore liberal forums and message boards such as Alternet. Anything for a buck.
And for most of the elite, the U.S. Constitution is in their way. They want it all. And none for you. You are nothing but a wage slave. A serf! Nevertheless, its as if nobody remembers such trivial details. Many people are angry at President Obama, (because the GOP noise machine has been so active and so noisy decrying his every move.) and at the Democrats--- who deserve very harsh criticism for their lack of action in the past four years. Which means these low-information voters will vote for--- you guessed it, any nearby Republican or Tea Bagger, no matter how insane the ideas they may spout.
reat news! I hate to seem spiteful but what it looks like to me is this: as Rahm Emanuel leaves the Whitehouse, Obama springs to life. This is certainly a big, bold step he's taken appointing Elizabeth Warren to man the post, as it were, of the agency she, herself, designed. What a God Send she is! And we know how much the right wingnuts hate her. the Right wingers in Congress tried to pass a law to bar Elizabeth Warren from being put in charge of policing Wall Street! And no wonder they hate her.
She is honest!
And they can't find any dirt on her.
And it kills them.
America Wins!

When somebody in Washington DC starts talking Truth, the right wing goes into a tail spin! We see it, but nobody says anything. I wonder why.
So now Obama has appointed Elizabeth Warren to a somewhat lesser position to act on the fringe for the organization she designed. It is a totally unsatisfactory arrangement, but it must be that the members of the Business Roundtable will assassinate the president, as they did JFK, if Obama doesn't fall in step with them. So at best this appointment is a compromise.♦
ow did you know the Bush administration was lying to all of America in everything they said about 9/11 and the subsequent war of aggression in Iraq? How did the liberal members of Congress know they were being lied to about the existence of Weapons of Mass Destruction under Saddam Hussein? Without even taking into account the fact that Saddam was subsequently condemned to death by a Court of puppet judges and puppet lawyers largely set up by the Bush Administration to give the appearance of legitimacy to the Death Sentence which was already a done deal. Granted that Saddam Hussein was a monstrous tyrant. But the people of Iraq expected nothing better; brutal, tyrannical government has been the history of that region for centuries. And its' people tended to be faint hearted, indeed, downright listless, about the prospects of democratic elections. Add to that, as we have seen, without the strong arm of a totalitarian government, the Middle Eastern countries, along with Asian and African emerging nations, tend to sink into utter chaos accompanied by, as much as brought on by the rot of petty warlords and other attributes of total corruption. Freedom, democracy--- too difficult.
The time I spent in India and Nepal, opened my eyes to the corruption inherent in the poorer countries. Nepal was, indeed a corrupt monarchy. When government officials are not decently paid they tend to shakedown the citizens as well as the tourists.
You'll have to include the entire corporate media in this riddle, as they had all the details of the 9/11 attack at their fingertips mere minutes after the attack; not to forget that certain TV news anchors reported the collapse of the World Trade Center, and some well known anchors as much as 30 minutes before the actual event. So back to the original question: how do you know they were all lying?
Easy:
Their lips were moving.
How I wish all Congressmen and women had the clear vision and moral fiber of Dennis Kucinich. But, let's face it, certain parts of the American population--- I call them Korrupt Kristian Kocksuckers,--- would rather send their very own moral midgets to Washington to give voice to their treasonous values or lack thereof. The people who elected Rand Paul would be better off dead. Their backward values, and his, are not the way this country or any country on the planet, or even in the Universe, ought to go.
Their racist attitudes are an abomination.
▼
About the only real value to America of the war in Iraq was that it sent a lot of the Korrupt Kristian Kocksucker offspring to be killed in the Middle East.
The newspapers report that for every 3 men killed in battle, another 10 commit suicide. The way I see it, those are the men who awoke to find themselves fighting a corrupt war for a corrupt administration. Add to that, the bottom feeder values of those who indulged in torture, and you have an army of fragile human beings who have lost all sense of meaning. How could they find their lives anything but empty, given the circumstances of such moral vapidity.♦
t becomes more and more clear with time: Robert F Kennedy and his brother, John F Kennedy were assassinated because they both talked TRUTH. I ask myself, "What large organization would kill to suppress truth?"
Answer: The GOP hates truth! Listen to the lies of John Boehner, Mitch McConnell and Alan Simpson, as they distort facts and figures, and any information having to do with Social Security, Medicare, Health Care Reform, Credit Card reform, Wall Street reform. I'll stop there, as those are enough contentious issues about which the Congressmen named above are known to equivocate, if not downright lie.
And lie they do.
Not just some of the time, either.
All the time.
Want more examples? Look how long it took Ken Mehlman to come out as a gay man, after years of bald-faced lying about his own sexual orientation, as Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Mehlman actively helped Republicans to pass virulent anti-gay legislation. How much self-loathing is involved in that? How about how the Republicans still lie about the fact that they work entirely for the benefit of the super rich and multi-national corporations while making loud protestations about being concerned about the poor and middle class. Like my Political -Science professor said in class one day, "The most audacious and ruthless ripoff sales job in history was when the Republican Party sold poor people and minorities on the idea that it was to their benefit to switch their allegiance to the Republican Party."
GOP leadership was then, and they are now, plainly and simply, outrageous liars, defenders of Greed, who conduct rituals of Satanic worship at their Bohemian Grove ceremonies, under the image of the Owl. And if you saw the movie, Eyes Wide Shut, you saw Tom Cruise exposed in what looked suspiciously like a Republican Satanic revelry. My immediate reaction to the scene was that it was a reference to what might happen if a liberal ever were to enter a Republican caucus, with or without disguise: The man the gold mask, dressed in red ceremonial robes. The basso chanting of Satanic verses. It is a fact that the worship of worldly wealth and material goods is not an attribute of Christianity! Jesus of Nazareth was very clear about that:
"Consider the lilies of the field." he said. "They spin not, neither do they toil."
Stop me when I go wrong here, but I take that statement to mean that money is not a big part of Jesus' message to the world. In fact, I would feel safe assuming that he meant just the opposite. And yet so many Christians seem to equate Christianity with massive amounts of shekels. Take for example, Eric Prince, the scion of an extremely wealthy, Christian family. Eric is the founder of Blackwater, the name now changed to something less meaningful. Fascinating, how it has recently come to light how Prince created a plethora of false-front subsidiary companies in order to garner as many government no-bid contracts as possible and still maintain a low-profile. Prince hired an army of mercenary soldiers who were paid princely sums compared to the paltry pittance of the US Army grunt. Prince could well afford to pay his guns for hire hundreds of thousands in salary, as he himself was taking in billions in profit. There was a first rate movie a year or so ago, with Ben Affleck, as an aggressively questioning Senator, Russel Crowe, as an investigative journalist, and Helen Mirren, as the owner/publisher of a paper very much like The Washington Post. State of Play was the title. (2009) The movie strongly alluded to that very situation. The point is that these Republican types who flourished during Bush 2, were not merely wretched liars, who cravenly hid in shadows, but corrupt beyond imagining. And any truth tellers were dealt with either, as Valerie Plame--- outed by the Whitehouse, as a CIA agent, putting her life at risk, not to mention her associates; and smearing her husband, Joe Wilson, for telling truth about the buying and selling of yellow cake uranium; or Defense Strategist, Richard Clark, who was kicked out and then smeared by the Whitehouse.
But some were simply killed outright.
There were an awful lot of private airplane crashes during Bush 2, which just happened to be timed so that certain key people who were scheduled to testify in court within days, sometimes hours of the hearings were killed. Oops! Dead. And the local police usually had all the information within minutes after the crash, if not in some cases, beforehand. Any voices of outrage were immediately silenced. The video below puts into perspective the role of one Mike Connell, a super-partisan Bush supporter during the 2004 elections. Connell was responsible for the publication of the Swift Boat fiasco which falsely accused John Kerry of so many fictitious acts, among other dirty GOP tricks.
Mike Connell was served with a subpoena, compelling him to appear in the federal courtroom in Ohio at the same College Park, MD airport where his single engine plane took off from, on his final solo flight... Mike Connell's private jet crashed the day before he was to testify. At the time, it was said that Karl Rove had warned Connell to keep his mouth shut. Nor was this death an isolated event. There were more than a few such perfectly timed crashes of private jets. There was a Senator. There was the Whitehouse computer guru, a devout Christian who was disgusted by what he had seen at the Whitehouse. He left and volunteered to become a witness, and who, like Connell, was scheduled to testify in Federal Court, but was deplaned, shall we say? the night before. It seemed that anyone who knew anything about the Bush administration and was deemed to be at risk of spilling their guts to a court, was beyond foolish to get into a private jet. The timing of the crashes was such that, to anyone watching, the Bushies were blatantly telling the world that if you speak what you know, or even give the appearance that you might, there would be consequences.
Interestingly, these gangland-style assassinations, have, so far, tended not to occur under President Obama. Funny, how those things work. Suddenly, now that the Bushies are gone, airplanes seem to fly without falling down from the sky.
Back to the Kennedy brothers' assassinations. Corporate Media likes to blame the Mafia; and perhaps the Mafia was involved, but it's far more likely that the Mafia collaborated with the Republican leadership of the time.
This speech by Robert Kennedy has become more relevant rather than less relevant as we have moved into the 21st. Century. In fact, this speech was brought to my attention by Alan Grayson, the Democratic Congressman now running for his life in Florida. The Koch's have taken careful aim at Grayson, to remove him from Congress. Unfortunately of the four or five candidates the Republicans have, they all turn out to be flakes. Too bad the GOP has no real candidates and yet---and this is really frightening--- The GOP is being touted as the big winner across the board. Then the Koch brothers will have totally bought the United States Congress.
Yes, but that is illegal, you may say.
Well, the Supreme Court says otherwise!
Of course, the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizen's United is an outrageous, obscene even, partisan ruling which completely gives corporations the upper hand in all future elections in America. And that includes foreign multi-national corporations. We now know that money is even more important than name recognition in elections. That is to say, that money buys television commercials and print ads, and public relations firms and all sorts of carefully placed articles and letters placed in magazines and newspapers.
But after all, the Supreme Court has done worse. Much, much worse! In the 2000 presidential election, they intervened in a national presidential election, selected their own man and declared him the winner. That was not merely an oddity.
The Supreme Court of the United States of America exceeded its Constitutional power, by a long shot, and abridged the electoral process, which they, each one without exception, were bound by oath to uphold. So much for the effectiveness of an oath taken by a government official. Any government official at all.
For this they ought to have been shot for treason.
Every single Supreme Court Justice who participated in this appalling action at the very least should have been brought to trial and condemned as there was no defense of such a clear cut violation. They could not have claimed anything but Nolo Contendere. No Contest. Which is, obviously, an admission of guilt, made in hopes of mercy from the court.
After such a treasonous and criminal action, one would think the GOP is no longer entitled to criticize liberal judges whom they like to call Activist Judges...legislating from the bench. Butthatwould not take into account one of the most difficult attributes of the Republican Party, namely, that they have no honor. There is no lie, no act of corruption so low that, even when shown to be dead wrong, which would bring from their lips, an apology, or an admission of guilt or even responsibility. This is the major downfall of the Republican Party. This one defect is what places the GOP, generally, in the position of keeping close company with stupid people. If not being entirely stupid themselves, individually, their collective actions follow precisely the behavior of stupid people. This behavior is named after the scientists who defined the behavior of stupid people who proclaim loudly their ignorance, such as the screamers at the rallies in the summer of '09. Known as the Dunning-Kruger Effect. It seems that stupid, ill-informed, opinionated people, are incapable of understanding that, in fact, they are wrong and their position is based in unskilled ignorance. They cannot be dissuaded from their position however much it conflicts with factual information. It is axiomatic that unskilled people, especially of low IQ, exhibit such behavior. Conversely, the skillful person, it has been found, in the same study, tends to underestimate his or her own skill and competence. ♦
ately, it seems that if local police all across America are not shooting and killing innocent citizens, then they are tasering harmless old folks and pregnant women. Then, when they are brought to court to account for their crime, they invariably claim to have been in fear for their lives. This alarming and relatively new trend points to poor training at the Police Academies. And this abusive stance is not confined to big cities. I do not know what the trainers are saying to these men and women, but by the time they get out onto the streets they have become brutally aggressive, when they are not being brutally defensive, and at other times simply brutal.
This civilization is not about that.
We are not yet a Third World or Emerging Nation where civil servants work for pittance and consider themselves lucky to be working at all. As far as I know, they are well paid, and given early retirement with good livable retirement pay packages. Nevertheless, look at the types of people who are hired. There is a famous case in Hartford Connecticut, where a man was not hired because he was deemed too smart. So the policy is to hire only the low mentals. And that is why these guys are so quick on the draw. They are ten times more likely to be emotionally and psychologically underdeveloped, and the complaint is not merely the much too quickness of trigger-happy and all too frequently, racist cops, too concerned about citizens obeying their every little command immediately and far too lax about dealing sensitively, with troubled people in complex situations. We have heard cops complain that we are asking too much of them, by asking them to be heroic and aggressive when necessary, and then sensitive, when needed, and to immediately know the difference. Instead we have far too many instances of thugs in uniform beating up and shooting children, and tasering pregnant women. And always, the local mayor must side with the officer in question or else invite the threat of rancor and insurrection among the ranks of the police themselves, and their union. What we have here is a good argument for hiring more intelligent and well-adjusted men and women to urban police departments. Send the low mentals who can't restrain themselves from tasering innocent old ladies and the very young.
In the video below, we see the extreme example of police officers invading a law abiding citizen's home, and brutalizing him because they were too frightened of a 64 year old man who was obviously unarmed, and merely rising out of his chair after asking the police officers to leave his property.
They tasered him for no good reason!
In fact, it appears that they tasered him because he didn't beg for a taste of their boot leather.
If these goons are not found guilty and fired from the department dishonorably--- and made an example of by imprisonment for the maximum sentence, it will be just another instance of corruption at City Hall. The detective in Washington DC, whom you will see in the video, is obviously on the side of police brutality. He dances all around the issue, all the while making excuses for the cops' cowardice. Brutalizing an injured 64 year old, unarmed man in his own home! This was all a matter of police arrogance. This is a serious issue which demands much more discussion by civilians in dialogue with the City Halls leadership of most cities and towns across America, and upper level police officials. ♦
