Security First: For a Muscular, Moral Foreign Policy
By Amitai Etzioni
Book Description
Publication Date:
July 5, 2007
“Rarely have more
profound changes in American foreign policy been called for than today,” begins
Amitai Etzioni in the preface to this book. Yet Etzioni’s concern is not to lay
blame for past mistakes but to address the future: What can now be done to
improve U.S. relations with the rest of the world?
What should American
policies be toward recently liberated countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan,
or rogue states like North Korea and Iran? When should the United States
undertake humanitarian intervention abroad? What must be done to protect
America from nuclear terrorism? The author asserts that providing basic
security must be the first priority in all foreign policy considerations, even
ahead of efforts to democratize. He sets out essential guidelines for a foreign
policy that makes sense in the real world, builds on moral principles, and
creates the possibility of establishing positive relationships with Muslim
nations and all others.
Etzioni has
considered the issues deeply and for many years. His conclusions fall into no
neat categories—neither “liberal” nor “conservative”—for he is guided not by
ideology but by empirical evidence and moral deliberation. His proposal rings
with the sound of reason, and this important book belongs on the reading list
of every concerned leader, policy maker, and voter in America.

Sleight-Of-Hand Of War
And Invasion
By George Paxinos
5-7-12
Every good stage-magician performing
tricks of manual dexterity or “sleight-of-hand”, can make his act seem even
more mysterious by also misdirecting the attention of his spectators at the
critical moment when his trick goes through.
A boxer feints with one hand and
wallops with the other, successful military men use deception and misdirection
to fool the enemy that their forces are stronger, weaker, poorer-equipped or
better-equipped or even somewhere else altogether than where they are really
deployed, as the case might call for, catching the enemy off-guard and winning
a strategic or tactical advantage over them.
Sometimes the best place to hide
something is out in the open where everyone can see it -- and then misdirecting
attention from it using more-discussable and spectacular, controversial events
-- and saying those who see it are mentally ill.
Take the case of Chemtrails -- those
much-disputed contrails in the sky that don't dissipate again like water-vapour
from engine exhausts normally does after a few seconds have elapsed, but
spread-out and collect water-vapour around them and become a white-out all
across our skies almost every day now :
All we really know about them, is
that one of their components, the element Aluminum, is ultimately deadly to
almost all life on Earth.
That means, it kills you.
It also kills your wife, your kids,
your parents, your family and friends.
It also kills your pets.
It will also kill all other animal
and plant life on Earth. All life on earth as we know it, will die.
We die, our loved ones die, our pets
die, our livestock dies, our edible plants and all other plant-life dies, all
life in the seas dies, ALL LIFE AS WE KNOW IT, DIES.
Right now, there are companies
developing genetically-modified Aluminum-resistant strains of plants. FOR WHOSE
BENEFIT ARE THEY DOING THIS?
NOT FOR OURS. FOR THE KIND OF LIFE
THAT WILL REPLACE US.
The many wars are a distraction.
Sleight-of-hand. It is happening now. TO YOU.
See how you can hide an alien
invasion right out in the open?

Christianity Around the
World in Under Assault, but Not from Muslims
By Wayne Madsen
May 3, 2012
Wayne Madsen –
Strategic Culture Foundation April 30, 2012
The neo-conservative
cabal entwined in Western governments and media is fond of stating that «Judeo-Christianity,»
itself a loaded term, is under assault from «Islamo-fascists» around the world.
The record, however, is clear.
From Moscow to Cairo
and Damascus to east Jerusalem, Christianity is under assault, not from main
stream Islam but from a nexus of Jewish and «Christian» Zionists allied with
the disruptive forces of non-governmental organizations financed by global
troublemaker George Soros, alias Gyorgy Schwartz.
In Moscow, a feminist
rock band called «Pussy Riot» has used trademark Soros disruption tactics
against the Russian Orthodox Church. Prior to the recent Russian presidential
election, Pussy Rioters staged a sacrilegious, intolerant, and insensitive
«concert» during worship services at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in
Moscow. After they were imprisoned for hooliganism, the Pussy Riot punkers
instantly received support from all the usual suspects that kow-tow to the
anti-Gentile line of the Zionists and their deep-pocketed Soros allies: The
Washington Post, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Bloomberg News, and
Forbes magazine.
Recently, tens of
thousands of Orthodox believers took part in a vigil outside Christ the Savior
in support of the Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, who, himself came under
fire from the propagandists of the West and global Zionism for wearing an
expensive wristwatch, a gift from his parishioners.
Almost half of the
Russian public surveyed in a poll conducted by the Levada Center agreed that
the Pussy Rioters deserve a two- to seven-year sentence for their antics.
However, the Soros and neo-conservative/neo-liberal NGOs and media outlets have
demanded the immediate release of the politically-active trollops.
Last year, a group of
women protesters from Ukraine, who call themselves FEMEN and are linked to
Soros disruption operations, staged a topless protest inside the Vatican.
Although the Catholic Church, as an institution, has much to answer for, the
disrespect shown by the action to devout Catholics is in keeping with Soros’s
and his supporters’ disrespect for the Christian faith.
Attacks on
Christianity are also the norm in illegally Israeli-occupied east Jerusalem and
the West Bank. Attempts by some Western media to report on Israel’s gulags in
the occupied territories comes at a tremendous price, something that was
witnessed by the veteran White House correspondent for Hearst Newspapers, Helen
Thomas, after she criticized Israel’s occupation of Palestine to an undercover
rabbi who «ambushed» her with a hidden camera on the grounds of the White
House. Thomas was pilloried and fired by Hearst after the
Zionist/neo-conservative cabal ganged up on the 91-year old Thomas.
In a recent CBS “60
Minutes” piece on Israel’s repression of Arab Christians, Israeli ambassador to
the United States Michael Oren told one whopper of a lie but received a free
pass on it from the generally Israel-subservient media. Oren, in his answer to
a question posed by veteran CBS newsman Bob Simon about Oren having attempted
to “spike” a report on the plight of Christians in occupied Israeli territory
by interceding with CBS 60 Minutes executive producer Jeff Fager before the
segment aired, replied, “There is always a first time.”
Oren knows full-well
that it was not the first time that Israel’s international network of hasbara
propagandists and Zionist sayanim well-entrenched in media outlets has
attempted to kill a story unfavorable to Israel. Oren, alias Michael Bornstein,
gave up his American citizenship when he agreed to become Binyamin Netanyahu’s
ambassador in Washington. Oren, a life-long Zionist, laughably claims he
emigrated to Israel from his native West Orange, New Jersey to escape what he
described as “anti-Semitism” rampant among the town’s largely Catholic
residents. Oren is a veteran of the Israel Defense Force and served in Lebanon
during that nation’s bloody civil war, a war in which Israel took the side of a
right-wing Christian President.
In the 60 Minutes
piece, the Christians of the Holy Land were referred to as the “invisible
people,” with many trying to flee the onslaught of steady and growing Jewish
encroachment on traditionally Arab and Christian lands. The broadcast featured
a Palestinian Christian family completely surrounded on all four sides by
Israel’s separation wall on the West Bank.
Oren and his fellow
Jewish Zionists, aided and abetted by so-called “Christian Zionists” like John
Hagee and members of groups like Christians United for Israel, which are
financed by Israeli interests, do not want Americans to see Christians being
treated as second-class citizens in an apartheid state. Former President Jimmy
Carter knows the hard way what happens when someone dares speak the truth about
Israel’s racist policies, which affect Palestinian Christians and Muslims,
alike.
True to form, the
anti-Gentile Oren called the 60 Minutes report “outrageous” and
“incomprehensible.” Simon said, “I never gotten a reaction before from a story
that hasn’t been broadcast yet.”
After the suspicious
activities of Israeli “art students” and others suspicious Israelis linked to
Israeli intelligence prior to the 9/11 attacks were reported by Fox News, the
Associated Press, and others, Israel’s public relations shill in Washington,
Mark Regev, dismissed the stories as an “urban myth.” Regev is now the public
relations spokesman for Netanyahu’s government. Fox pulled down its four-part
series from its website amid a flurry of Israeli and domestic U.S. Jewish
criticism. A veteran AP reporter recounted the threatening phone calls his
editor received from a Boston-based Israeli-funded media “watch dog” group,
CAMERA or the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America.
Israel supporters
also rallied against CBS, claiming that Christians in Israel are the only
Christian community in the Middle East protected from “Islamist terrorists.”
That must come as news to Maronites and other Christians in Syria and Copts in
Egypt who have been beset by Wahhabist Salafist terrorists supported by Israel’s
Lobby in North America and Europe. It is well-known that Syria’s Christians
have been protected by Bashar al Assad’s government while Syrian Islamist
rebels have received support from Israel and their neo-conservative supporters
abroad who nest in such outfits as the American Enterprise Institute and the
Hudson Institute in Washington, DC. Attacks on Copts in Egypt, including the
bombing of a church in Alexandria, have been determined by Egyptian authorities
to have been signature Israeli-style “false flag” attempts to garner support
for Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak during his final days in power. The
Egyptian Bar Association said Israel was behind the 2011 New Year’s bombing of
Saints Church in Alexandria that killed 22 parishioners who were celebrating
midnight mass. The world media dutifully reported the attack as the work of
Islamist terrorists.
A document prepared
by an inter-faith group of Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox called Kairos
Palestine and issued in 2009, calls Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and
east Jerusalem “clear apartheid,” echoing President Carter’s similar charge.
Oren and his Zionist colleagues merely dismissed the document and its authors –
patriarchs, archbishops, and bishops of the Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Armenian
Orthodox, Coptic, Syrian Orthodox, Maronite, Ethiopian, Greek Catholic, Syrian
Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, and Syrian Catholic churches – as being the work
of “anti-Semites.”
Similarly,
anti-Gentile invectives have been hurled by Israeli Jewish leaders and Jewish
leaders abroad at Christian church leaders who back the Boycott, Divestment,
and Sanctions (BDS) program against Israel for its draconian apartheid policies
in the Occupied Territories. Particular anti-Gentile abuse has been heaped on
leaders of the Church of England; the Church of Scotland; five large American
denominations – the Episcopalians, Methodists, Presbyterian, Lutheran, and
United Church of Christ; the National Council of Churches of Australia; the
Quakers; the Lutheran Church of Sweden; the United Reformed Church of England,
Scotland, and Wales; the Protestant Church of the Netherlands; the Church of
Norway; the South African Council of Churches; the British Methodist Church;
the United Church of Canada; and the World Council of Churches. Personal
insults from the hasbara propaganda machine have been thrown at retired South
African Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu; retired Swedish Lutheran Archbishop
K. G. Hammar; Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams; and President
Carter, a Baptist. Some 140 leading Jewish Israelis have also endorsed the BDS
policies of the Christian churches, which puts a significant dent in the
argument that the movement has «anti-Semitic» intentions.
And to further
inflame inter-religious tensions around the world, the Israeli Mossad’s
fingerprints can be seen on false flag violence that seeks to inflame
Buddhist-Muslim tensions in Thailand and Myanmar; Muslim-Christian tensions in
Indonesia, Turkey, the Philippines, Sudan, and Nigeria; Sunni-Shi’a tensions in
Iraq, Yemen, and Syria; and Hindu-Muslim tensions in India.
This past Good
Friday, as with all Good Fridays since the papacy of Pope John Paul II, saw
Franciscan brothers the world over collect donations in Catholic churches
around the world for the Holy Land’s besieged Christians and their churches. It
was not the actions of Muslims that prompted the appeal for help but the
actions of the Jewish state of Israel. That fact was made very clear in the
international appeal of the Franciscan order, named for St. Francis of Assisi,
who was a sole voice of reason during the infamous Crusades and who earned the
respect of the Muslim leader Saladin and his nephew, the Sultan of Egypt Malek
al Kamil.
The world is ready
for religious leaders to emulate the peace-making of St. Francis, Saladin, and
Sultan Malek and not the extremism of Zionists, Christian Zionists, and the
catalysts for violence and intolerance endemic in the Soros movement and its agents provocateurs.

IT'S ONLY YOUR MONEY
How attractive would
it be, personally, if you never had to pay State taxes again? Yeah, no State
income tax, no State sales tax, no more fees for licenses and permits . . . all
that stuff. That would probably boost the economy of your state considerably,
wouldn't it?
Oh . . . let's throw
in university costs, too. The accounting expert tells us that there would be
plenty of money available to pay for the kids to go to university.
We couldn't pull this
off in the largest states or the ones that allow all those illegal aliens to
squat, of course. But, those of us living out here in fly-over country would
have a very sweet deal if we had a central government that cared at all about
the average American people.
Remember, back in
1978, when Jimmy Carter almost won the Nobel Peace Prize (Mohamed Anwar
Al-Sadat, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt and Menachem Begin, Prime
Minister of Israel, got it instead) for making Egypt and Israel stop fighting?
Well, no one exactly "won" a Peace Prize. It was actually purchased
with our tax money. That is, Carter paid Egypt and Israel to stop fighting.
They did. And a Nobel was awarded.
The bill to the
American taxpayers is now approaching one-hundred billion dollars and we're
still paying. Sure, that's not much in the scheme of things -- it only equates
to a little less than a thousand bucks per American taxpayer.
So, OK, what did you
get for your thousand bucks? That's the point, you know -- a return on
investment.
Maybe this could be
better put another way: If we took that one-hundred billion bucks and invested
it very safely, the interest alone would be enough to cover the annual budgets
of four small or two or three medium sized states . . . perpetually. And,
incidentally, pay all the university costs for residents, too.
But, alas, we gave
the money away. That's what Democrats do: They give our money away.
Now, fast forward
from Carter to Clinton. Different players, same game. And, times have changed,
so now they are talking about some significant bucks. The numbers floated last
week vary from $50-billion to $200- billion, and that's just for starters.
To be sure, we've got
the money. They'll just borrow it from the Social Security fund, as the
Democrats have been doing for three decades to balance the budget. The one true
reason there is no money in the Social Security fund is that Democrats pilfered
it to give away. They needed it to buy votes so they could stay in power.
Anyway, the question
is not where the money is coming from. Better questions are: Do we really want
to do that? What's in it for us? Is it more important to us to make people over
there even more comfortable, or shall we be more concerned with lowering our
own taxes and securing the future of our children?
The media knows of
these considerations but does not dare ask the questions. They can't. You see,
Israel receives about a four-billion dollars -- nearly a thousand bucks per
Israeli resident -- allowance (and other considerations worth nearly that much)
from us every year and uses at least one-hundred-million bucks of that annually
to lobby Congress and interfere in our elections. That buys a lot of media
adds. So, those working on Capitol Hill and in the national media have to be
rather careful what they say.
The Israeli lobby is
the largest lobby in Washington and provides quite a lot of jobs in that town.
And, yeah, your tax
dollars fund that, too. We do not know, yet, who will get paid how much from
this round of talks. But, we can be sure the bill will be measured in tens of
billions of American dollars. And, we can also be sure that the American people
will be stuck paying that bill.
So, about your taxes.
. . . .
ENTRENCHED SOCIALISM,
USA
Back in 1959, there
was a meeting hall on our university campus that was free to be used by any
group wishing to schedule itself at least two weeks in advance. And, at least
three evenings a week, there seemed to be either a far right or a far left
group holding an open meeting there.
Probably in interest
of full disclosure, I should also mention that we were students back then.
Broke students. And they always had free sodas, sandwiches and cookies at the
meetings. Therefore, a number of us attended a lot of free meetings so as to
chow down on the free food.
One big laugh those
of us from the Polish/Russian/ Slovak community had amongst ourselves was that
a few people there who looked like students were actually FBI agents. We knew
why they were there and they understood why we were there.
It's hard to tell
which of these political groups took themselves most seriously. But, my friends
had the most fun discussing the issues of the day with the socialists (real
communists were not allowed in those days). It seemed, to us, anyway, that we
had to jerk them around quite a bit before they caught on we were playing with
them. But, to their credit, they never kicked us out.
By the middle 1960s,
these socialists got their stuff together and I again ran into a few of them
pretending to be hippies. Actually, they were instigating hippies into action.
It showed, too, because hippy lore themes like "down with the
establishment" were first used by those very same socialists a decade
earlier.
Thirty years later,
the socialists had improved their propaganda techniques significantly. They
also have branched out enough to include inciting Blacks, Hispanics, feminists,
unions, the handicapped, and environmental groups.
That, in itself,
would be very interesting at first glance because the core of the socialist
party is made up primarily of a group of rather wealthy and healthy White guys.
It would be interesting, that is, if one did not know what these people are up
to. In simple terms, they are inciting all of the above mentioned groups, not
because they want these groups as members (they do not), but because they want
these groups to cause mass disruption. Their goal is to defame our
Constitutional way of government.
Now we see that the
socialists even infiltrated the government worker's unions. While researching
material for a Republican candidate for Congress, I notice that the Detroit
chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) held a major weekend
meeting on June 24 and 25 at the downtown American Federation of State, County,
and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) hall. I always said that most Council 25
AFSCME people act like a bunch of socialists. But, for some reason, the fact
that they actually hold Socialist Party meetings at that union hall surprised
even me.
But, that's not all.
A look around the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) commissions web page
verifies they are well entrenched in many sectors of American life. In fact,
much of the liberalism that sounds like socialism is, in fact, instigated by
the DSA.
They state publicly
that: "Our effort is to contribute to building a grassroots, democratic
left organization, united around anti-corporate, egalitarian, social justice
politics. We seek to unite trade unionists, feminists, people of color, gays
and lesbians, and other radicals around a common agenda. We believe that only a
multi-racial organization, and only multi-racial coalitions can create a new,
progressive majority in our nation."
However, if one digs
into their training material just a little, it is soon found that such (above)
liberal rhetoric is little more than the propaganda used to attract the uninformed
(and, to them, throwaway) masses. It is a ploy, a method of getting the
uninformed masses to disrupt the establishment. For instance, from 1991:
"[T]he
composition of our membership and methods of political work are already
oriented toward building an organization of the educated middle class, and not
a mass organization. If, by the year 2000, we recruit every leftist teacher,
bureaucrat, lawyer, organizer and otherwise college-educated person we will do
a lot more for socialism than if we spend the decade trying to recruit
rank-and-filers and the poor. Ironically, only by accepting that we are not a
potential mass organization, but rather a vanguard of intelligentsia aspiring
to help lead mass organizations, can we democratically relate to actual mass
organizations. Just because we have unique strengths to offer the process of
social change doesn't necessitate a top-down or "Fabian" approach to
social change. We might think of this as a democratic re-appropriation of
Leninism."
That is exactly what
we have seen. They have caused great changes throughout our American life these
past years. And, unless we are ready to do a major housecleaning very, very
soon, they will have won.
CONGRESS AND SOCIALISM
-- an Expose'
Note: This is the
last of three articles written a couple years ago on socialism and Congress. It
is republished here again because it fits in with information we should all
consider before we vote in November.
Links have been
updated.
-----------------------------
As most Heads Up
readers know, we believe in calling things what they are, in plain English, and
in such a way that there is no doubt in what we mean. So we haven't been using
words like duplicitous, deceitful and devious when describing the Democrats in
Congress. Instead, when they act like socialists (as do some Republicans),
socialists is what we call them.
There is a very good
reason for this socialist tag, too. We are far from being alone in this
assessment. Specifically, we find the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in
total agreement.
First, though, a
little information on the DSA. Here's a few excerpts taken directly from the
DSA http://www.dsausa.org/dsa.html
web page:
"The Democratic
Socialists of America (DSA) is the largest socialist organization in the United
States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. DSA's
members are building progressive movements for social change while establishing
an openly socialist presence in American communities and politics.
"At the root of
our socialism is a profound commitment to democracy, as means and end. We are
activists committed not only to extending political democracy but to demanding
democratic empowerment in the economy, in gender relations, and in culture.
Democracy is not simply one of our political values but our means of
restructuring society. Our vision is of a society in which people have a real
voice in the choices and relationships that affect the entirety of our lives.
We call this vision democratic socialism -- a vision of a more free, democratic
and humane society." . . .
"We are
socialists because we share a vision of a humane international social order
based both on democratic planning and market mechanisms to achieve equitable
distribution of resources, meaningful work, a healthy environment, sustainable
growth, gender and racial equality, and non-oppressive relationships." . .
.
"To advance the
cause of socialism, DSA has established the Center for Democratic Values. http://www.igc.org/cdv/index.html
The Center for Democratic Values is a network of intellectuals committed to
bringing progressive ideas on society, the economy, and government into
mainstream discussions. CDV produces letters to the editor, op-eds, pamphlets,
and books."
So there you have it.
Social-democrats "building progressive movements for social change"
by "establishing an openly socialist presence in American communities and
politics," and through supporting "democratic planning and market
mechanisms to achieve equitable distribution of resources."
How does this fit in
with Congress and the Democratic Party? Easy. The only outwardly avowed
socialist in Congress is Representative Bernard Sanders of Vermont. However,
Sanders is also the chairman of a Congressional group calling itself the
Progressive Caucus. The Progressive Caucus, incidentally, aligns itself with
the Democratic Socialists of America, and the DSA aligns itself with the
Progressive Caucus. Interestingly enough, the Congressional membership list can
be found at:
http://www.netprogress.org/legis/index.htm
(or enter from the DSA home page and follow the links), or go to:
Meanwhile, back to
the DSA web page:
"The Progressive
Caucus of the US House of Representatives is made up of 58 members of the
House. The Caucus works to advance economic and social justice through
sponsoring legislation that reflects its purpose. The Caucus also works with a
coalition of organizations, called the Progressive Challenge
(http://www.netprogress.org), to bring new life to the progressive voice in US
politics."
In truth, there are
well over 100 Democrats in the House (and a few Republicans who act like it)
who subscribe to all of these socialist world economy and world government
programs -- those programs designed to allow the chosen elite complete control
over the peasant- citizens.
What we see today as
corruption in government was brought about simply because these people, as a
group, feel that any means to their end is acceptable. This includes, of
course, taking campaign funds from foreign Communists as well as passing some
very obnoxious people-control laws.
These groups (and
Members of Congress) are, in turn, politically aligned with Socialists
International (http://www.dsausa.org/si/si.html), which is based in London: http://www.dsausa.org/si/si.html
"The Socialist
International is the worldwide organization of socialist, social democratic and
labour parties. It is the oldest and largest international political
association in the world, currently comprising more than 120 parties and
organizations from all continents.
"The Socialist
International, whose origins go back to 1864, has existed in its present form
since 1951 when it was re-established at the Frankfurt congress.
"The
International provides its members with a forum for political action, policy
discussion, dialogue and exchange. Its statements and decisions advise member
organizations and the international community of consensus views within the
global family of socialist, social democratic and labour parties and
organizations."
Most of these groups
may be publicly quiet, but they are very, very active in the political
background. And -- check out the web pages -- generally, they all support
exactly the same agenda. That socialist agenda, by the way, has made up the
bulk of the Democratic Party's official platform for nearly two decades.
Last but not least:
For more information, on just how neatly the socialist's activities blend in
with the U.S. Democratic Party (and the AFL-CIO), be sure to check the Social
Democrats, USA web page. That is also very enlightening. Find their web page
at: http://www.socialdemocrats.org
[The leadership
organization of these socialist groups is, of course, Socialist International.
Readers interested in where the United Nations gets so many of its wacky
socialist/communist ideas might want to check out the Socialist International
web page at: <http://www.socialistinternational.org>. Because, there is a
plan afoot coming down from those with a far higher pay grade than anyone at
the UN.]
We Constitutionalists
would do well to copy some of their organizational framework.
REPUBLICAN vs.
SOCIALIST
Folks are complaining
that government took God out of public life, but they fear trying to do
anything about it. Much of our common language is now censored and it probably
will not be long before calling someone a derogatory name will be a federal
felony. Now, instead of yelling at someone or punching them in the nose to let
off steam, the overly distraught shoot. Today, instead of teaching kids
patriotism and American history in school, parents stand by and allow their
kids to be taught feel good antics and the joys of foreign cultures by
socialist leaning public school teachers. American patriotism is somehow
painted in a bad light.
Many Americans rant
and rave about these and other changes. But, they fear taking action. Instead,
they go to the polls and vote for the very people responsible for instituting
these changes: The socialist Democrats.
Certainly, there are
also a number of Republicans in government who are just barely on the good side
of being pure socialists, and we will start weeding them out shortly. Right
now, let's just talk about those Members of Congress who actually attend
socialist meetings.
Because, over the
past two years, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), and its arm, the
Congressional Progressive Caucus, have begun to brag outwardly that they all
have the same goals. What the DSA admits, but the Progressive Caucus has not
outwardly disclosed yet, is that the socialist goal includes the downfall of
our Constitutional form of government. Which means, there are Members of Congress
whose goal is the downfall of our way of government.
With the help of
House Minority leader Dick Gephardt, Progressive Caucus socialists pepper all
major House committees and many of them are up for major committee
chairmanships if the Democrats take over the House.
For instance, picture
that idiot from Detroit, John Conyers, as chairman of the Judiciary Committee
or Henry Waxman (D-CA) as chairman of the Committee on Government reform.
Anyone watching the hearings these past few years knows both of them are
useless.
Progressive Caucus
socialist Charlie Rangel (D-NY) would get the chairmanship of the powerful Ways
and Means Committee and Maxine Waters (D-CA) would chair the subcommittee on
Domestic and International Monetary Policy. What new fiscal hell would they
initiate?
Barney Frank
(D-Mass), whose friend and roommate ran a homosexual outcall prostitution
service out of Frank's home, would chair the Housing and Community Opportunity
subcommittee. But wait! Major Owens -- famous for his many one hour diatribes
about how so many thousands of slaves were tossed overboard when the slave
ships were bringing them here that the sharks still today follow the ships'
path looking for more -- would chair the Workforce Protection subcommittee.
Or, picture Cynthia
McKinney (D-GA) as chair of the International Operations and Human Rights
subcommittee and Jerry Nadler chairing the Commercial Law subcommittee. Talk
about confusion!
The fact is, there
are 58 members of the Progressive Caucus in the House. That is, there are 57
Democratic-socialists and one independent-socialist in the House who outwardly
align themselves with the domestic arm of the Socialist International. And,
those are just the ones who go to meetings.
Out of all names
mentioned above, probably Barney Frank is the only one who sometimes acts like
he knows what he is doing. Ask any of the others a pertinent question about a
piece of legislation -- even when they say they sponsored it -- and all one is
apt to get is a blank stare followed by a bunch of babble.
So . . . now, who is
going to pull which lever at the poll next November?
End
The New Republic
Obama’s Choice: “All
Together Now” Populism
Editors’ note: No Democratic president has won in recent decades on a
platform of economic populism. But with the rhetoric of the 99 percent still in
the air, and a proposal for a ‘Fair Share Tax’ at the center of his current
platform, it seems President Obama might be attempting to do just that. We’ve
asked a number of TNR writers to discuss whether it makes sense for Obama to
run as a populist. Can a Democrat win on a populist message? Should Obama try?
Click here to read the collected contributions.
Let me confess that
I've long found the term “populism” in connection with Barack Obama rather
strained and unsatisfying. Yes, Obama has, at various points in the past few
years, spoken out strongly against the ills of entrenched moneyed interests.
But he is also a man who, we now know, spent his formative years waxing
philosophical about Pound and Yeats to equally literate girlfriends in New York
City. This is a man more comfortable with a fountain pen than a pitchfork. His
best moments on the stump, it always seemed to me, were those when he appealed
to his audience's intelligence rather than its base instincts—say, when he
explained to them in 2008 why Hillary Clinton and John McCain's call for a gas-tax moratorium was a
cheap gimmick. Meanwhile, the fact is that the circumstances of the present
political moment make it all but impossible for a Democrat not to be cast in a
“populist” position—the party finds itself up against an opposition that,
thanks to Justice Kennedy et al, is being backed by bottomless-pocketed
plutocrats to an extent that we haven't witnessed in the modern political era.
Not to mention that Obama's opponent is Willard Mitt Romney, a man so
one-percentish that even plutocrat-approved primary opponents like Rick Perry
and Newt Gingrich couldn't resist getting all populist against him.
But I've nonetheless
found TNR's week-long symposium on the question of whether Obama should strike
a populist tone to be quite useful. And one can't help but wonder whether Obama
himself, or at least some of his minions in Chicago, have been reading along,
because Obama's campaign kickoff speeches in Ohio and Virginia Saturday seemed
awfully in line with what the symposium's authors have, for the most part, been
urging on him—a “populism” that is upbeat and aspirational rather than caustic,
that harkens more to the Progressives than the Bryan-style Populists, that ties
fairness to growth and opportunity, that warns against excessive inequality
without dwelling on it. To this, Obama has added an element that is rooted in
his political identity since arriving on the national stage eight years ago—a
strongly communitarian note that carries echoes of the “common national
purpose” message of Bobby Kennedy's that Ed Kilgore recommended to Obama. All
in all, the message Obama unveiled Saturday comes off as less “us versus them”
than “all together now.” It is less populist, really, than it is social
democratic, in the post-war European sense of the term as defined and
celebrated by Tony Judt. (Don't expect Chicago to pick up on this
distinction—it is probably no more eager to see its candidate branded as a
happy social democrat than as an angry populist.) This message hardly comes out
of the blue—it builds on the forceful speeches Obama gave in Kansas last fall
and more recently at the Associated Press editors' convention. But those
speeches had a harder edge, over which Obama has now wrapped the positive sheen
that a successful campaign requires.
I'll quote from
Obama's Ohio speech at some length to show what I'm getting at, and to give
readers a sense of what we'll apparently be hearing from the candidate for the
months ahead. First came Obama's “how we got here” explanation—a carry-over
from his 2008 diagnosis of how things had gotten out of whack in the country:
We came together because we believe that in
America, your success shouldn’t be determined by the circumstances of your
birth. If you’re willing to work hard, you should be able to find a good job.
If you’re willing to meet your responsibilities, you should be able to own a
home, maybe start a business, give your children the chance to do even
better—no matter who you are, or where you come from, or what you look like, or
what your last name is.
We believe the free market is one of the
greatest forces for progress in human history; that businesses are the engine
of growth; that risk-takers and innovators should be rewarded. But we also
believe that at its best, the free market has never been a license to take
whatever you want, however you can get it; that alongside our entrepreneurial
spirit and our rugged individualism, America only prospers when we meet our
obligations to one another and to future generations.

Review of Thomas
Martin’s “The Victory of Humanism”
By Kevin McDonald
The Victory of
Humanism: The Psychology of Humanist Art, Modernism, and “Race”
Thomas Martin
Palm Coast, FL:
Backintyme, 2011; 177 pages
There can be little
doubt that in historical perspective; perhaps the most important upheaval in
Western culture has been the decline of aristocratic culture. This is apparent,
for example, in two recent books that have influenced my thinking, Ricardo Duchesne’s
The Uniqueness of Western Civilization and Andrew Fraser’s The WASP Question
(my review will appear in the first issue (June) of Radix, a new magazine
edited by Alex Kurtagic and Richard Spencer). For Duchesne, aristocratic
individualism is the key to understanding the uniqueness and creativity of the
West. Fraser laments the decline of Indo-European aristocratic culture,
beginning with the Puritan revolution of the 17th century and carried to its
logical conclusion in America with the defeat of the South in the Civil War.
Thomas Martin’s The
Victory of Humanism focuses on the decline of aristocratic culture in Western
art. Following the “perfection of antiquity,” the breakthrough occurred in the
Renaissance with the work of Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo.
A critical
observation by Vasari is that those artists achieved perfection by only
portraying the beautiful. They did this by using the most beautiful examples of
the human body or nature. In this way, they achieved the idealization or
perfection of both body and nature. In
fact, Vasari goes so far as to say that Michelangelo was so wedded to the idea
of perfection that he had a policy of never doing a portrait of a living
person. This would have been descending away from the ideal in the “mind of
God” or the human mind, and losing himself in the particular of the empirical.
Martin correctly
points out that this sense of ideal human form is an innate part of human
psychology. Evolutionary psychologists have shown that the faces that humans
find attractive are generalized. That is, faces that are produced by averaging
dozens of real photos are judged attractive. Martin expands on this by
suggesting that “there is a certain nobility in the generalized face, which
helps create the sense that it is ideal. Seeing the face that is in the mind
takes the viewer above or out of this world and into the mind, the most
powerful and noble part of our bodies.”
Martin then describes
the decline of the ideal and the rise of egalitarianism, particularity, and
vulgarity in art. This did not happen all at once. In the 17th and 18th
centuries, artists “took a dim view of raw nature”; Frederick Art, a historian,
notes that “in the age of the Baroque, they evidently wanted to smooth and
regulate all nature and make, as it were, domestic pets of the rivers and
mountains.” Not until the end of the 19th century did the crudeness of nature
become an artistic ideal. Martin notes that “Nature per se was viewed as vulgar
and disgusting, while refined culture was viewed as beautiful and a relief from
vulgar, oppressive and confining nature.”
The culture of the
anti-ideal: Lucien Freud's "Benefits Supervisor Sleeping"
Whereas nature was
seen as confining and oppressive, in the long run “high art formalism” came to
be seen as oppressive. Aesthetics was “displaced to oppose the confining upper
class during the French Revolution”; already in the 19th century, “artists were
beginning to find beauty and greatness themselves to be confining, and sought
escape into the chaos and irregularities of nature and personal experience.
This defines relativism, particularism and the decline of standards.”
Ultimately, this
trend derives from egalitarian political philosophies emphasizing the natural
rights of the individual and hostile to traditional social hierarchies that, as
both Duchesne and Fraser note, are Indo-European in origin. Classical Western
culture emphasized reason controlling emotion and political dominance by a
natural aristocracy. “The ideal of modernism was that instead of reason and the
upper class controlling the appetites and the lower class, respectively, the
reverse should be the case.” As exemplifying this trend toward egalitarianism,
Martin quotes an article by eugenicist John Glad who found that most people
disagreed the idea that people with high intelligence should have more
children.
These trends might be
termed “egalitarian individualism,” as opposed to the aristocratic
individualism described by Duchesne (see above) that has been so central to
classical Western art. For Martin, modernism fundamentally reflects aspirations
for “a deified and unlimited individualism.” This can be seen in everything
from political thinking to advertising campaigns that appeal to people’s
uniqueness and individuality—the “culture of narcissism” and the glorification
of individual suffering at the hand of an oppressive social order. More and
more art was designed to appeal to low and vulgar tastes, the aristocracy seen
as corrupt and morally debased. “Over the last two centuries, evil was
displaced from the body, from sexuality, and from the lower class, to the upper
class, their art and proper morals or etiquette.” This was then extended to the
bourgeois upper classes, as in the film Titanic. Whereas “classicists emphasize
limits on behavior and intelligence, and the need for social control on native
inclinations to evil, hostility or crime, “modernists” experience limits as
claustrophobic imposition from the group. So they rebel against anything
limiting, such as conceptions of class, sex, ‘race’, and native intelligence.”
[Note that the word 'race' is in quotation marks, as it is in the subtitle.
This suggests that Martin does not believe in the reality of race, but Martin
informs me that it was because of the publisher's insistence.]
Although ‘race’
appears in quotation marks, Martin notes at African-Americans and the non-West
have benefited greatly from the general trends of modernism. Blacks now sit in
judgment of White culture and are routinely deified in the media—literally, as
with all those films where Morgan Freeman is portrayed as America’s “spiritual
presence-in-chief) ”Modernists today
become worthy when they hate their own civilization, or feel unworthy in the
face of non-Westerners. To consider oneself unworthy is a sure sign of social
virtue today.”
As with Andrew Fraser
in The WASP Question, Martin yearns for the classical world of hierarchy and
the primacy of reason “able to suppress the worst of human nature.” He realizes
that this world cannot be revived, but nevertheless hopes that we could
“somehow return to rejecting our animal aspect.”
There is a lot to
like about this book. Martin moves adeptly (but at times incongruously) between
a wide range of genres, from high art and opera plots, to Hollywood films and
television. The general thrust of the book certainly fits with the decline of
aristocratic culture that is so central to the modern age. On the negative
side, there is no mention of ethnic competition over the construction of
culture, as emphasized in discussions of Jewish influence on this site (e.g.,
Edmund Connelly, Lasha Darkmoon and Michael Colhaze). My view is that we must
understand both the ethnic roots of the egalitarian trends of Western culture
stemming ultimately from evolution as northern hunter-gatherers, but also
realize that the rise of Jews as a hostile elite has been an important aspect
of the debasement of Western culture in the direction of vulgarity and hedonic
individualism since at least the beginning of the 20th century. Certainly,
several of the movements discussed by Martin (the 1960s counter-cultural
revolution, the rise of Blacks to the status of moral paragons, and the
ideology of multiculturalism and hostility toward the people and culture of the
West) cannot be understood without a consideration of Jewish influence.
Martin is correct
that we can’t go back to earlier Western social forms which were based on a
hereditary aristocracy that achieved their position as a result of the military
accomplishments of ancestors. I do think, however, that in the early 20th century the West was headed
in the direction of developing a natural aristocracy based on intelligence,
moral probity, and the possibility of upward and downward social mobility. This was the heyday of eugenics as a belief
system common among Western elites, both liberals and conservatives. An
important component of this worldview included an understanding of the genetic
basis of intelligence and behavior (see, e.g., Lothrop Stoddard’s Revolt of the
Underman, republished by Alex Kurtagic’s Wermod & Wermod).
This world was
shattered; ultimately it was a victim of the outcome of World War II, even
though eugenics was not expunged from polite society until the 1960s as a
result of an energetic campaign by Holocaust-haunted intellectuals bent on
striking a blow against their ethnic competitors. If that vision of society had
prevailed, and, correlatively, if the
West had rejected the model of multiculturalism fueled by massive non-White
immigration promoted by Jewish intellectual and political activism, it is quite
reasonable to suppose that it would have had a very large and positive
influence on the world of art.

Bracing for Demographic
Winter:
The
"Overpopulation Crisis"
By James Corbett
Thomas Malthus
A new round of calls
for punishing austerity and depopulation strategies have sprung up in the wake
of a Royal Society report ringing the alarm on the so-called overpopulation
crisis. The report, entitled "People and the Planet" was published on
April 26th and followed up by a flurry of articles by the usual suspects
dutifully parroting the society's dire warnings about the future of humanity in
a crowding world. Paul Ehrlich was even trotted out to chastise the Society for
not going far enough in their report, instead intimating that 5 billion people
would have to disappear from the face of the earth for the population to be at
a "sustainable" level.
The irony is that
this is the same Paul Ehrlich who was crying wolf about the "Population
Bomb" 45 years ago and was proven wrong on almost every prediction he made
at the time. In 1968 Ehrlich predicted that "hundreds of millions of
people (including Americans) are going to starve to death" in the 1970s,
but he was wrong. In 1969 he predicted that "smog disasters" were
going be killing 200,000 people per year in cities like New York and L.A. by the
mid-70s, but he was wrong. Also in 1969 he actually claimed he "would take
even money that England will not exist in the year 2000." Last we checked,
England is still here. In 1975 he envisioned that "food riots" in
America in the 1980s would lead to the dissolution of Congress, another
prediction that failed to come to pass. The next year he argued that
"Before 1985, mankind will enter a genuine age of scarcity . . . in which
the accessible supplies of many key minerals will be facing depletion."
Wrong again.
By 1980, economist
Julian Simon had grown weary of listening to the doom and gloom of those who,
like Ehrlich, continued to predict one disaster scenario after another in the
name of this supposed overpopulation crisis. He offered a wager to anyone who
was willing to take him up on it that the price of any given raw material would
be lower on any given future date than it was at the time. Paul Ehrlich took
him up on the wager, and the two drafted a futures contract obligating Ehrlich
to buy $1000 worth of copper, chrome, nickel, tin, and tungsten from Simon in
1990 at 1980 prices. By the time the contract matured, the prices had fallen
and Ehrlich was forced to cut Simon a check for $576.07. Simon offered a
further $20,000 wager with the added incentive that Ehrlich could pick whatever
resources and whatever time frame he wished, but Ehrlich had learned the
valuable lesson not to put his money where his mouth was.
Despite a career of
failed arguments and predictions that never came true, Ehrlich won a MacArthur
Foundation genius grant and is still treated as a venerated, knowledgeable
figure on the subject of population. The problem, of course, is that adherents
of his particular brand of doomsaying are inclined to believe these predictions
of doom because it affirms their Malthusian worldview. Thomas Malthus was an
employee of the British East India Company who hit upon the idea that food
production increases arithmetically while population increases exponentially.
Thus, argued Malthus in his infamous 1798 "Essay on the Principle of
Population," it was a mathematical certainty that the world was on a crash
course for demographic disaster. The problem for Malthus and his acolytes,
however, is that they have in each and every generation failed to understand
that the question of population and resources is not a zero-sum game. In each
and every generation since Malthus first wrote his treatise, human ingenuity
has developed technologies and techniques that have helped to expand the arable
land for farming and agriculture and increased the number of crops that can be
grown in each acre, even as the number of people required to work that land has
fallen. Every generation a new crop of Malthusians emerge to argue that this
time the expansion of the food supply will fail and the world will be plunged
into chaos, and in each and every generation the predicted apocalypse has
failed to arrive. Worse yet for those who argue so strenuously for the Here we
are over 200 years later and the Malthusians of our own time continue to argue
that the same disaster that has failed to arrive for two centuries is now just
around the corner.
Unfortunately we
don't have to dig very deep to see the dark side of this Malthusian bent. In 1969, Ehrlich stated that if voluntary
birth control methods did not curb population growth fast enough for his
liking, governments might have to consider "the addition of a temporary
sterilant to staple food or to the water supply." In 1972 UN climate guru
Maurice Strong argued that governments should license couples to have children.
In 1977, Obama "science czar" John Holdren co-authored with Ehrlich a
tome called "Ecoscience" that mused once again about the possibility
of forced abortions and sterilants in the water supply as a way of curbing
population growth. In 2002, the editor of the Earth Island Institute's online
magazine lamented the introduction of electricity to Africa. The Malthusian
philosophy is the perfect false front for an ideology that bemoans economic
development and technological progress.
Interestingly, even
the UN's own population and fertility estimates show that overpopulation is not
the real problem. The UN is projecting a world population of 9 billion by 2050
and a leveling off after that point. The global fertility rate (children per
couple) was 4.95 in 1950-1955. It was 2.79 in 2000-2005. It is expected to be
1.63 in 2095-2100. To put that in perspective, the replacement fertility rate
that would be required to maintain the population at current levels is
projected to be 2.1 in developed countries and as high as 3.4 in developing
countries due to higher child mortality rates. With a global fertility rate of
1.63 by the end of the century, the human race will be essentially breeding
itself out of existence.
Quite contrary to the
projections of the Malthusians, the very real danger to the economy and the
species itself is the very real demographic shift that happens in a shrinking
population. This phenomenon is referred to as demographic winter and has been
understood by demographers for decades. Population is still growing because of
high fertility rates in previous generations and longer life spans, but
declining fertility rates will turn into population decline in a number of
nations within the century should these trends hold. The countries of the
developed world, with their fertility rates already in decline, will be the
first to experience the effects of this transition. Countries like Greece,
Russia, Taiwan, Lithuania, South Korea and others that already have a fertility
rate below 1.5 and little influx of immigrants are either already declining in
population or are expected to within a decade.
Japan is one of the
countries on the forefront of this decline. Having some of the longest-lived
people on the planet and ranking 202 out of 220 countries and regions for
fertility rates, Japan is already starting to cope with the effects of a
rapidly aging population. The Japanese government is increasingly turning to
politically painful measures just to try to keep the country's massive social
security program going. Accounting for 29 percent of its $1.12 trillion dollar
2012 budget, the cost of taking care of Japan's pensioners is only going to
increase as more and more of the post-war boomer generation begin to come up
for retirement. The workers per retiree ratio is falling across the majority of
the globe, with Japan falling from 9.1 workers per retiree in 1965 to a
projected worker/retiree parity in 2050. In effect, by the middle of the
century each Japanese worker will be asked to pay for the retirement of one of
their elders. This is of course completely untenable, but the political will to
make changes to the system is utterly lacking, especially since the majority of
the population is retired or retiring in the near future and is unlikely to
vote themselves out of an entitlement system they have spent their life paying
into. Instead, the Japanese Prime Minister du jour, Yoshihiko Noda, is trying
to rally the country around tax hikes that are explicitly aimed at making up social
security shortfalls.
The situation, while
perhaps more acute in Japan, is common to countries across the developed world,
including the United States. No one entering the work force today expects there
to be a social security system of the kind that exists today by the time they
reach retirement, but there is no way to put the brakes on a system of unfunded
liabilities that today's retirees spent their life "paying into."
Reforming the system seems a politically quixotic quest, and is the ultimate
Catch-22 inherent in the program itself since the moment of its inception under
FDR in the 1930s. A population suffering from the effects of the Great
Depression was promised a program that would take care of them in old age. Now
during our current ongoing depression, what little social security payouts that
the boomers have inherited after a lifetime of paying in is being inflated away
into nothing by Helicopter Ben and the quantitative easing crew. Europe is even
worse, with retirees and pensioners committing public suicide in places like
Greece rather than subject themselves to a life of picking through garbage in
the wake of Eurocrat-dictated austerity measures.
Other economic
effects of the greying population will begin to make themselves felt in the coming
years, as well. Real estate and stock market declines are inevitable in a
society with an increasing number of aging retirees cinching up the purse
strings and fewer young couples buying houses or investing in the markets. Declines in saving rates, outputs per capita
and living standards are all likewise projected as inevitable in a world of
shrinking population. Given the immensity of the problems generated by this
demographic transition, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the
Malthusians have placed the problem of the "population bomb" on its
head: the real "Population Bomb" of the 21st century is not the
problem of too many people, but too few.
The Malthusians tend
to argue that their end goal is that imagined state of
"sustainability" by which the economy of the future will not be
predicated on growth, but instead will be a static system that will maintain
itself via renewability. Whatever one thinks of the viability or desirability
of such a system, the stark fact is that such a system is impossible in the
paradigm of declining fertility rates. In fact, in order to achieve
sustainability, the human race would have to find a way to reverse the fertility
decline. It's an irony that aging doomsayers like Ehrlich and Holdren may not
live long enough to behold come to fruition in their lifetime, but to achieve
the very goals they claim to be aiming toward, there may be only one hope for
the human species: Bring on the babies.
Communitarians – Saving
the Local Farms
What seems like a
grassroots movement is actually being engineered. The local food movement is
the biggest modern retail food trend to occur for decades, and it is being
brought to us on purpose.
We are being told
that the "locavore" movement grew out of consumer concerns about how
and where food is produced, following episodes of contamination in spinach,
meat and other foods. People committed to purchase locally produced foods to
support farmers, because the food is fresher and to reduce the environmental
effect of trucking it across country - not to mention the GMO factor. But what
folks don't realize is that it is all part of an elaborate communitarian plan
to help create a collective mindset, interdependence, and new way of life. The
elite planners have had this under their hats for a while.
Does this mean that
locally grown foods are a bad thing? Not at all! What I am saying is that this
is only the beginning of the elitists twisted plan. By the year 2020, 20% of
our foods will be locally grown, then 50% by the year 2050. But what about
those areas that don't have farms? Rural areas will be converted to farm lands
to serve the cities.
Have you noticed the
bad rap the Monsanto Corporation has gotten for trying to poison the population
with GMOs, and for killing the bees with pesticides? It may explain why there
have been U.S. Government positions on the Board of Directors at Monsanto
Corporation, how Monsanto's Michael Taylor has gotten to be Food Czar, and why
all warnings have been ignored to eliminate GMOs. This has all been well
publicized because they wanted this huge locally grown movement to occur. It is
the communitarians’ method of creating food justice.
So if anyone says
that local farming is more about creating an anonymous oasis in the context of a globalized food system - they
are joshing you. Futurists have had it in mind all along.

ICLEI & Their Local
Government Political Agenda
"Sustainable development links
everyone in the world to new concerns about the future of the earth’s natural
environment. It provides the purpose for expanding communitarian land use law
to govern all human actions, ambitions, and needs. Every federal agency in the
United States of America has embraced the principles for sustainable
development." Niki Raapana and Nordica Friedrich, 2020: Our Common Destiny
Global community
developers are partnering with towns and cities to help them build a future in
the face of challenges such as: peak oil, climate change and the economic
crisis. Using a slick marketing scheme and scientific deceit, participating
communities are led to believe that their membership is protecting their
future, but they are actually giving over controls of their communities. Since
our present communities don't have the answer to cope with this perfect storm,
Communitarians are charged with protecting the environment, thus protecting our
global future. Although this sounds honorable, the U.N. is rolling in the
mother of all Trojan Horses, and reining in global governance.
As we have seen with Transition Towns and the Transition US Movement, they convince trusting locals with Transition USA's well-funded and well-promoted "grassroots" outer image. However, Transition Towns are insidious, and local governments don't realize that they are transitioning into an Agenda 21 Sustainable Development community. This means congested living, contrived shortages, surveillance, loss of freedom of speech, and a collectivist society.
While Transition
Initiatives work to prepare local communities to conform to "Energy
Descent Action Plans," they also work to conform policies in line with
world governance principles, including the abolition of private property. The
Earth Charter Initiative Mission Statement from the United Nations encourages
cities to "transition."
ICLEI Local Governments
for Sustainability
One can substitute
the name Transition for Local Agenda 21 or ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability,
because they are all essentially the same. Their anti-liberty/pro-communitarian
policies are based upon the same patterns, values, and public/private
collaboration.
ICLEI - Local
Governments for Sustainability is an association of over 1220 local government
members and partners who are committed to sustainable development. Members come from 70 different countries and
represent more than 569,885,000 people. It is an international association of
local governments, as well as national and regional local government
organizations who have made a commitment to sustainable development.
The association was
established when more than 200 local governments from 43 countries convened at
its inaugural conference, the World Congress of Local Governments for a
Sustainable Future, at the United Nations in New York in September 1990. The
headquarters is in Bonn, Germany, and the President of ICLEI is David Cadman.

these U.N. programs are set up to indoctrinate and infiltrate residents to be
globally-minded and preparing states to cede from sovereignty.

gives everyone the feeling that they have a voice in the community - but they
already had a voice.

Communitarian ‘Common
Ground’ Community Gardens
In this slow transition to
communitarianism, 'green space' is being developed into sustainable gardens,
housing, and providing employment opportunities. This new trend has caused many
cities and towns to change zoning rules to allow for community gardens in some
unincorporated areas. Volusia County, in Florida, recently rezoned to allow for
community gardens. How do we know that these garden spaces are actually
communitarian? Although the naming of the gardens may be a coincidence, their
similar name is very telling.
In the news article from Volusia
County, the local correspondent pointed to Common Ground Farm in DeLand as an
example of a successful community garden. The buzz words common ground are
based on the title of Amitai Etzioni's book title, where he presents his case
for communitarianism.
Let's take a look at some of the
Common Ground Community Gardens across the country. Note the link provided
under each of these photos. Each has started sustainability and unity as their
purpose for existing.
North Richland Hills, TX, at Davis Memorial United Methodist Church
Additional common threads running
through all of these gardens is eating local and growing a greener world. The
idea is to transition agriculture from predominantly unsustainable large farms
into a system of community-owned sustainable collective gardens...and it's
working. We can be assured that Transition Towns had something to do with this
new trend.

famines..." Matthew 24:7

and the strict draconian control of those who remain. In that same week, THE

Prepare a substantive contribution to the debate in the UNCSD in 2012,
which takes stock of the changes having occurred since the Earth Summit in 1992
and provide a clear vision and way forward for the international community,
national governments, partnerships and other stakeholders in implementing the sustainable
development agenda in an integrated manner.
Construct a coherent vision on sustainable development in the 21st
century and analyse feasible pathways to sustainability.
Synthesize analytical and applied policy work regarding menus of policy
options for a more sustainable, green growth that consider the specific
economic, social, environmental and institutional context of countries in
different stages of economic development.
Background
The United Nations Conference on
Sustainable Development (UNCSD), which will gather UN member states and other
stakeholders in Brazil in 2012, is a key occasion to take stock of 20 years of
action at all levels to promote sustainable development, and to provide a clear
vision and way forward for the international community, national governments,
partnerships and other stakeholders in implementing the sustainable development
agenda in an integrated manner.
Knowledge must inform action -
knowledge of what has and has not worked for sustainable development in the
past 20 years, knowledge as well of important changes and new challenges that
have emerged in the past generation. Only on this basis can we develop a clear
vision of sustainable development for the 21st century. That vision needs to
incorporate and build upon the rich output of various global assessments -
including climate change, water, energy, and ecosystems - as well as the policy
lessons from experience, respond to the evolving nature of the challenges, and
draw upon the latest research on integrating sustainability and development
into a common agenda. It also needs to recognize and motivate the contribution
of all inhabitants of planet earth.
The SD21 project is built around a
series of studies that will inform a synthesis report, "Sustainable
development in the 21st century" (SD21). The SD21 body of studies is
expected to become an important analytical and political contribution in its
own right. Studies under the SD21 project will cover the following topics:
assessment of progress since the Earth Summit; emerging issues ; long-term
sustainable development scenarios; tools for managing sustainable economies;
national and international institutions for sustainable development; and sector
assessments.

SD 21: An ominous
updated plan by the United Nations
In Agenda 21 on March 26, 2012 at
12:46 PM
Sustainable Development
in the 21st century (SD21)
We again are under attack! The giant
has awakened and is making his needs known! The bear is hungry, has eaten his
meal and is looking for more!
The United Nations in preparation for
the Rio+20 Summit and unlike the other Rio Summits and even the Stockholm
Summit which yielded a weak, often disputed set of principles, they intend to
get it right this time!
SD21 and the Rio Principles, as you
will eventually become aware, is just one of 4 or 5 documents that is being
prepared for Rio and portrays their interpretation and plan for the perfect
environment for the United States and the rest of the world!
The perfect Environmental utopia is
the plan! A world where you and or the business that “inflicts harm” will pay
dearly for your carbon footprint by hefty fine, penalties or loss of property
or business!
The last Rio Summits, even by the UNs
own admission have been slightly off target and lacking focus, often missing
stated goals by 5 or 10 years. Goals not met to the UN means failure, goals not
met to me means you are relying on false scientific data to make your claims
which leads to your poor results!
The United Nations is in many words
trying to get their game on! In other secular words, trying to get their spit
(misspelled purposefully, not an auto correct problem).
They have seen great success getting
the “grassroots” portion and it’s tough to use grassroots with the UN, but at
the local level they have done a pretty good job working with the NGOs to
bypass the will of the people! As in Bradley County, Tennessee, as in many
local counties throughout the Nation they have implemented the proposed plans
which has been fairly easy to do! Just promise a planner or a mayor a yum yum
in their pocket and they are soon rocking their world like a teenager trying to
get to first base!
Presumably, the courtship with these
characters are pretty uneventful as they see bringing in federal grant money as
the caveman clubbing and dragging home his prize bison carcass for the family
of simple undeveloped minds to devour! Needless to say the quest didn’t measure
up to the satisfaction of a full tummy and bowel evacuation.
The UN, for lack of a better phrase,
is putting on their A-Game! They have and are stating they are learning from
their past mistakes and are formulating a concoction of evil they feel will
catapult them into the equivalent of an environmental climax.

The Conversation
The European far right:
actually right? Or left?
Or something altogether
different?
Marine Le Pen’s ideology cannot be
defined simply as “right wing”.
Marine Le Pen’s ability to attract
nearly a fifth of the vote in the first round of the French presidential
election was a resounding victory for her party.
While Le Pen’s Front National (FN)
did not secure enough of the vote – 17.9% – to make the final run off, there is
no doubt the FN voting bloc will be influential in deciding whether Nicolas
Sarkozy retains office or Socialist candidate Francois Hollande becomes the 5th
Republic’s first left President since Francois Mitterand.
The message is clear: parties of the
“far right” are now an established political force in mainstream European
politics.
Inaccurate terminology
The success of the Front National
hasn’t gone unnoticed in the popular media. In news coverage the FN and other
members of the Nativist Populist (NP) party family are most often referred to
as “far-right”. In the economic sense at least, the accuracy of the “far-right”
descriptor is doubtful.
In the contemporary Anglosphere,
“right” tends to refer to economic liberalism, free markets, corporatism and
globalism. Taken to its logical conclusion, far-right economics would be
radically libertarian laissez-faire capitalism in which the nation, in ethnic,
cultural and structural terms, is rapidly moving towards its expiry date.
In an age when “right” has come to
mean, less state and more markets and corporations, the economic policies
offered by the NP parties are often further to the “left” than many of those
offered by centrist social democrats.
Anti-globalisation
Le Pen’s own public utterances
criticising “ultra liberalism” and mondialism (One Worldism) are evidence enough
that her natural constituency is not the Davos set. Rather, she is distinctly
protectionist in her economic positions, having described globalisation as
“getting slaves to make things abroad to sell to unemployed people here".
The NP parties tend to campaign on a
cultural and a social axis. The cultural axis is traditionalist; the economic
axis tends to be something best described as ethno-communitarianism with
distinctly statist and leftist positions. These two axes make strategic sense
when considering the FN’s targeted demographic.
French voters who support the Front
National feel assailed on two fronts. First by cheap Chinese and other foreign
imports local manufacturers cannot compete against, lest they start a “race to
the bottom”. Second, they fear mass non-European immigration, mainly from
Islamic Africa and Asia. They perceive themselves to be overwhelmed by free
markets and open borders. The NP parties portray a situation where globalising
elites make all the gains while the average citizen loses job security,
identity and quality of life.
NP economics are nativist in the
sense they’re designed to protect the national interest against foreign
capitalists in the age of globalisation, while simultaneously supporting
intra-national homogeneity by restricting welfare.
Welfare for all, as
long as they are us
This anti-globalist, and “welfare
chauvinist” approach to economics is increasingly evident in the platform of
the Dansk Folkeparti (Danish People’s Party – DF), which has moved its economic
policies approach from one of neo-liberalism, leftwards to a position that
could be described as social democratic, in order to broaden its electoral
appeal to working class ethnic Danes.
The nativists transcend the
traditional right-left dichotomy of party politics by supporting the welfare
state (albeit restricted to natives), while developing economic policies
designed to protect native business, workers and culture from the perceived
excesses of global free trade and Islamism.
The economics of the NPs are
defensive. They support welfare and state led solutions to economic problems,
and often support renationalisation of key state assets. Kent Ekeroth,
spokesperson for the Sweden Democrats described his party as a mixture of
traditional Scandinavian social democracy and nationalism. Le Pen’s calls for
the renationalisation of energy, transport, health and education put on the
left of the French Socialist Party on such issues.
So when you see a party described as
“far right” in the media, there’s every chance their economic policies are more
statist than the centre Left, though you’re sure to find their immigration and
law and order policies way diametrically opposed to the to those same “soft”
left parties.
Beyond the left/right
dichotomy
Dutch political scientist Cas Mudde
has developed the most considered and precise understanding of the NP party
family, concluding their defining features are nativism, populism and
authoritarianism.
Considering the economic positions of
the party family in Europe, the “far right” descriptor is inaccurate. In the
current context such parties would be better referred as nationalist,
ethno-communitarian, or populist to better express their positions which are a
combination of what is a combination of traditionalist patriotic, conservatism
and statist, protectionist, mixed economics.
Marine Le Pen’s refusal to back
either Sarkozy or Hollande in the election run-off is an indication that the NP
parties aims to transcend the extant bipolar political axis – FN supporters
chanted at their own May Day Rally “neither left nor right” and “this is our
home, our country”.
For the FN it’s not a struggle
between left and right, but between nationalism and internationalism in its
left, right, corporate and Islamic guises.

Is America Really Free?

Is America a Free
Country?
By Justin Raimondo
The “war on terrorism” has
inaugurated a new era in the American polity, a sea-change that has not only
threatened to overturn traditional limits on government power but also
corrupted the political culture – and opened the way to the terminal crisis of
the Constitution.
In a revealing series of interviews
on Amy Goodman’s “Democracy Now” program, three individuals targeted by the
American surveillance state – William Binney, former top NSA official, Jacob
Applebaum, an internet security specialist who works with WikiLeaks, and Laura
Poitras, an Oscar-nominated documentary film-maker whose work has brought her
to the attention of US authorities and led to her harassment by US government
agents – give compelling evidence that the answer to the question in the title
of this piece is clearly an emphatic no.
Binney resigned his position with the
National Security Agency (NSA) after 40 years in protest at the government’s
increasingly totalitarian methods of data-collection and retention, without
judicial oversight. The government has targeted him: in 2007, his home was
invaded by FBI agents after he went to the Senate Intelligence Committee with
revelations about illegal NSA spying on American citizens: they pointed guns at
him, and warned that he would “not do well” in prison. Applebaum and Poitras
have been detained, searched, and interrogated every time they have re-entered
the US from abroad – Poitras over 40 times – and had their laptops seized and
presumably copied. None of these individuals have been charged with a crime.

Communitarianism as a
Substantive Theory
A Loose Discussion on
Communitarianism
Communitarianism is a response to the
dominant political theory of liberalism. Communitarians seek a political regime
and theoretical understanding that emphasizes the role of the community or
greater society in giving sense to and developing an individual's freedom and
autonomy.
Working with the general definition,
I was hoping people could discuss and expand on more specific details of the
theory with these questions in mind...
1) Does communitarianism offer a
substantive coherent theory that unifies all communitarian theories or do
communitarian theorists all have substantively unique views and the only common
thread is an emphasis on a more social understanding of the individual?
2) Can communitarians be found on
both the left and right of the political spectrum?
Are, for example, both Rick Santorum
and environmentalists communitarians? After all, the both seek to establish
community based decision making over centralized authority albeit with
significantly different results.
3) Relatedly, is communitarianism
just a theory about the proper way to make political decisions - more local,
town hall community based decisions? Or does it have a strongly normative
dimension where principle X is proper principle to abide by at all times and
places.
If it's just a theory on decision
making one could imagine one town hall advocating the discrimination of group x
and a different town hall advocating the protection or respect of group x.

New Books on
Polarization: The Need for Compromise and Applying Conservative Principles to
Environmental Problems
Matthew C. Nisbet on May 1, 2012
Two recently published books caught
my eye today at the World Bank bookstore here in Washington, DC and I've put both
at the top of my list to read and discuss here at AoE.
Amy Gutmann &
Dennis Thompson, The Spirt of Compromise: Why Governing Demands It and
Campaigning Undermines It.
If politics is the art of the possible, then compromise is the artistry
of democracy. Unless one partisan ideology holds sway over all branches of
government, compromise is necessary to govern for the benefit of all citizens.
A rejection of compromise biases politics in favor of the status quo, even when
the rejection risks crisis. Why then is compromise so difficult in American
politics today?
In The Spirit of Compromise, eminent political thinkers Amy Gutmann and
Dennis Thompson connect the rejection of compromise to the domination of
campaigning over governing--the permanent campaign---in American democracy
today. They show that campaigning for political office calls for a mindset that
blocks compromise--standing tenaciously on principle to mobilize voters and
mistrusting opponents in order to defeat them. Good government calls for an
opposite cluster of attitudes and arguments--the compromising mindset--that
inclines politicians to adjust their principles and to respect their opponents.
It is a mindset that helps politicians appreciate and take advantage of
opportunities for desirable compromise.
Gutmann and Thompson explore the dynamics of these mindsets by comparing
the historic compromises on tax reform under President Reagan in 1986 and
health care reform under President Obama in 2010. Both compromises were
difficult to deliver but only tax reform was bipartisan. Drawing lessons from
these and other important compromises--and failures to compromise--in American
politics, Gutmann and Thompson propose changes in our political institutions,
processes, and mindsets that would encourage a better balance between
campaigning and governing.
Calling for greater cooperation in contemporary politics, The Spirit of
Compromise will interest all who care about whether their government leaders
can work together.
Robert
Scruton, How to Think Seriously About the
Planet: The Case for an Environmental Conservatism.
The environment has long been the undisputed territory of the political
Left, which casts international capitalism, consumerism, and the
over-exploitation of natural resources as the principle threats to the planet,
and sees top-down interventions as the most effective solution. In How to Think
Seriously About the Planet, Roger Scruton rejects this view and offers a fresh
approach to tackling the most important political problem of our time. The
environmental movement, he contends, is philosophically confused and has
unrealistic agendas. Its sights are directed at the large-scale events and the
confrontation between international politics and multinational business. But
Scruton argues that no large-scale environmental project, however
well-intentioned, will succeed if it is not rooted in small-scale practical
reasoning. Seeing things on a large scale promotes top-down solutions, managed
by unaccountable bureaucracies that fail to assess local conditions and are
rife with unintended consequences. Scruton argues for the greater efficacy of
local initiatives over global schemes, civil association over political
activism, and small-scale institutions of friendship over regulatory
hyper-vigilance. And he suggests that conservatism is far better suited to solving
environmental problems than either liberalism or socialism. Rather than
entrusting the environment to unwieldy NGOs and international committees, we
must assume personal responsibility and foster local control. People must be
empowered to take charge of their environment, to care for it as they would a
home, and to involve themselves through the kind of local associations that
have been the traditional goal of conservative politics. Our common future is
by no means assured, but as Roger Scruton clearly demonstrates in this
important book, there is a path that can ensure the future safety of our planet
and our species.
HUFF POST
Naomi Schaefer Riley,
Chronicle Of Higher Education Blogger, Fired For Calling Black Studies
'Claptrap'
The Chronicle of
Higher Education dismissed one of its bloggers after outcry over a blog post
she wrote questioning the legitimacy of black studies as an academic
discipline.
Naomi Schaefer Riley,
a lecturer and author who wrote for the Chronicle's blog, Brainstorm, was let
go after readers pushed back on an essay she published last week titled
"The Most Persuasive Case For Eliminating Black Studies? Just Read the
Dissertations." Riley's essay responded to a sidebar of a story in the
Chronicle which profiled several up-and-coming black studies scholars in the
process of writing dissertations. Riley looked at the titles of the
dissertations -- on subjects like the role of race in housing policy and the
history of black midwifery in the United States -- and called them
"left-wing victimization claptrap."
Nearly 6,500 people
signed a petition calling for her dismissal from the blog. Yesterday, Liz
McMillen, the site's editor, wrote a note apologizing for Riley's post, and
said that the publication had decided to part ways with the author, who is also
an affiliate scholar of the Institute of American Values, a conservative think
tank based in New York.

Proposed RNC Agenda 21
Resolution
I received an email
purporting that the Republican National Committee (RNC) has written a
resolution exposing the nature and character of the United Nations’ Agenda 21.
This resolution was said to be destined for the national Republican convention
with intent to pass as a plank for the GOP’s 2012 platform.
I was immediately
interested. But I would have to know that this was true. If this proved to be
true, I figured to myself, it would be quite a feather in the hat for the
liberty movement.
So I wrote to Carolyn
McLarty at the RNC and she graciously sent back the good news -
It is true!
The RNC has drafted a
resolution which will be presented for inclusion in the 2012 RNC platform. This
resolution seeks empowerment to expose the United Nations’ Agenda 21. That is a
remarkable victory for the Liberty Movement in America, and especially for all
Constitutionalists and Patriots. In my opinion, it is a promising return step,
a steering back toward Barry Goldwater style Republicanism.
It has often been
said – “Truth will out.” How sweet it is that so many voices are now dignified
after being attacked for years by mainstream media and government-issued
propaganda. There has also been a noticeable black-out in the mainstream media
on the subject of Agenda 21.
Was media silence on
Agenda 21 a ploy to keep Americans from becoming aware of the threat of Agenda
21? I cannot say, and perhaps that is irrelevant now, for the truth of Agenda
21 is about to become household knowledge across America.
I will gloat briefly
– It is exactly because of that media black-out that so many un-aware Americans
have seen their awake and aware neighbors, (those who have been talking about
Agenda 21), as kooks or “conspiracy theorists”.
Yet while the RNC is
going to let this one out of the box and send it nationwide, most Americans
today still do not know a thing about Agenda 21.
Here in Montana there
is a good example of that frustration.
I have an Oath Keeper
friend who lives at Big Timber, Montana. Officer Kevin McCauley sits on the
City Council for Big Timber. He and his Council have taken a lot of flak from
various sectors, including from the Montana Human Rights Network, (Montana’s
downsized version of the national org called the Southern Poverty Law Center,
“SPLC”). Kevin and the Big Timber City Council shut down an Agenda 21 project
at Big Timber and a lot of mindless people have screamed bloody murder at him
for spearheading that drive. Knowing how he must feel, I checked out the Sweet
Grass Council for Constitutional Integrity website and found that this news is
already up at the website -
(Kevin, I salute you
for your pioneering work at Big Timber, Montana, and for taking the guff in
stride as you shut down that Agenda 21 project in your town. Way to go, Bro!)
This exposure by the
RNC will greatly benefit the American voter come November, enabling discerning
voters to make more fully informed choices. The United Nations is a threat to
American sovereignty, to our Constitution, to our Bill of Rights, and
specifically to private property ownership by Americans.
Another man who must
be delighted by this move by the RNC is Michael Shaw, who is one of America’s
premiere educational sources for the truth about Agenda 21 and other globalist
fronts. Michael Shaw has been in the trenches for years, fighting to get the
word out about Agenda 21. I was fortunate to get to meet him personally when he
spoke in Montana a couple of years ago.
Please enjoy his
original website, where you can learn all you want to know about Agenda 21 (and
other UN or UN-related or UN-parallel group assaults on our country).
But enough of this
reveling. Let’s look at the RNC’s resolution itself. Carolyn McLarty has sent
me the final draft of the resolution. Here is that actual finalized wording for
the resolution:
Resolution Exposing United
Nations Agenda 21
WHEREAS, the United
Nations Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of extreme environmentalism, social
engineering, and global political control that was initiated at the United
Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992; and,
WHEREAS, the United
Nations Agenda 21 is being covertly pushed into local communities throughout
the United States of America through the International Council of Local
Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) through local “sustainable development”
policies such as Smart Growth, Wildlands Project, Resilient Cities, Regional
Visioning Projects, and other “Green” or “Alternative” projects; and,
WHEREAS, this United
Nations Agenda 21 plan of radical so-called “sustainable development” views the
American way of life of private property ownership, single family homes,
private car ownership and individual travel choices, and privately owned farms;
all as destructive to the environment; and,
WHEREAS, according to
the United Nations Agenda 21 policy, social justice is described as the right
and opportunity of all people to benefit equally from the resources afforded us
by society and the environment which would be accomplished by
socialist/communist redistribution of wealth; and,
WHEREAS, according to
the United Nations Agenda 21 policy National sovereignty is deemed a social
injustice; now therefore be
RESOLVED, the
Republican National Committee recognizes the destructive and insidious nature
of United Nations Agenda 21 and hereby exposes to the public and public policy
makers the dangerous intent of the plan; and therefore be it further
RESOLVED , that the
U.S. government and no state or local government is legally bound by the United
Nations Agenda 21 treaty in that it has never been endorsed by the (U.S.)
Senate, and therefore be it further
RESOLVED, that the
federal and state and local governments across the country be well informed of
the underlying harmful implications of implementation of United Nations Agenda
21 destructive strategies for “sustainable development” and we hereby endorse
rejection of its radical policies and rejection of any grant monies attached to
it, and therefore be it further
RESOLVED, that upon
the approval of this resolution the Republican National Committee shall deliver
a copy of this resolution to each of the Republican members of Congress, all
Republican candidates for Congress, all Republican candidates for President who
qualify for RNC sanctioned debates, and to each Republican state and
territorial party office and recommend for adoption into the Republican Party
Platform at the 2012 Convention.

speaks for itself. More truth is coming out. It’s enough to give my old heart a
sense of hope after all. I am so pleased to note that the Fanning-Baldwin 2012
campaign has already announced its stand against Agenda 21.
In closing, I must
also say that of keen interest to me, among the resolutions above, is the fact
that the RNC will have an opportunity to go on the record calling for an
independent investigation into Eric Holder’s ATF gun-running fiasco/scandal
called “Fast And Furious”. See Oath Keepers’ initial coverage here:

I’m sure you are
familiar with a document called, “Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars.” Here is the
very last section, which dovetails so nicely with your statement about seeing
our children as Nazi thugs:
Enforcement
Factor I
As in every social
system approach, stability is achieved only by understanding and accounting for
human nature (action/reaction patterns). A failure to do so can be, and usually
is, disastrous.
As in other human
social schemes, one form or another of intimidation (or incentive) is essential
to the success of the draft. Physical principles of action and reaction must be
applied to both internal and external subsystems.
To secure the draft,
individual brainwashing/programming and both the family unit and the peer group
must be engaged and brought under control.
Factor II – Father
The man of the
household must be housebroken to ensure that junior will grow up with the right
social training and attitudes. The advertising media, etc., are engaged to see
to it that father-to-be is pussy-whipped before or by the time he is married.
He is taught that he either conforms to the social notch cut out for him or his
sex life will be hobbled and his tender companionship will be zero. He is made
to see that women demand security more than logical, principled, or honorable
behavior.
By the time his son
must go to war, father (with jelly for a backbone) will slam a gun into
junior’s hand before father will risk the censure of his peers, or make a
hypocrite of himself by crossing the investment he has in his own personal
opinion or self-esteem. Junior will go to war or father will be embarrassed. So
junior will go to war, the true purpose notwithstanding.
Factor III – Mother
The female element of
human society is ruled by emotion first and logic second. In the battle between
logic and imagination, imagination always wins, fantasy prevails, maternal
instinct dominates so that the child comes first and the future comes second. A
woman with a newborn baby is too starry-eyed to see a wealthy man’s cannon
fodder or a cheap source of slave labor. A woman must, however, be conditioned
to accept the transition to “reality” when it comes, or sooner.
As the transition
becomes more difficult to manage, the family unit must be carefully
disintegrated, and state-controlled public education and state-operated
child-care centers must be become more common and legally enforced so as to
begin the detachment of the child from the mother and father at an earlier age.
Inoculation of behavioral drugs [Ritalin] can speed the transition for the
child (mandatory). Caution: A woman’s impulsive anger can override her fear. An
irate woman’s power must never be underestimated, and her power over a
pussy-whipped husband must likewise never be underestimated. It got women the
vote in 1920.
Factor IV – Junior
The emotional
pressure for self-preservation during the time of war and the self-serving
attitude of the common herd that have an option to avoid the battlefield – if
junior can be persuaded to go – is all of the pressure finally necessary to
propel Johnny off to war. Their quiet blackmailings of him are the threats: “No
sacrifice, no friends; no glory, no girlfriends.”
Factor V – Sister
And what about
junior’s sister? She is given all the good things of life by her father, and
taught to expect the same from her future husband regardless of the price.
Factor VI – Cattle
Those who will not
use their brains are no better off than those who have no brains, and so this
mindless school of jelly-fish, father, mother, son, and daughter, become useful
beasts of burden or trainers of the same.

Hitler or Judah?
A Second Nuremberg
Tribunal, Chapter 1
Saint-Loup
Editor’s Note:
Hitler or Judah? A
Second Nuremberg Tribunal is a novel by French author and adventurer Marc
Augier, better known as Saint-Loup (1908–1990). After completing the novel in
1975 or 1976, Saint-Loup decided that it was too controversial to publish under
his own name.
Saint-Loup and a
South African friend (who will remain anonymous) hit upon the plan to have the
book published in English under the name of Claude Joubert, a French
ex-paratrooper who was safely dead. The South African translated the book into
English, but it was never published.
The French original
was published as Hitler ou Juda? Un second procès de Nuremberg (Prague:
Éditions du cercle du chène, 2007). This translation is a revised and corrected
version of the original English translation, which Counter-Currents will
serialize in eleven parts and then publish in book form.
Saint-Loup was the
author of more than 30 books as well as a man of action. He was an accomplished
skier and motorcyclist. As a young man, Saint-Loup threw himself into socialist
politics and the Centre laïc des auberges, a non-political group promoting the
development of French youth hostels.
In 1939, France
declared war on Germany. In 1940, after six months of spurned German peace
overtures, Hitler crushed France. Saint-Loup welcomed the fall of the Third
Republic and was an active collaborationist. When Germany attacked the USSR,
Saint-Loup joined the French Volunteer Legion and later the Waffen-SS, serving
as a war correspondent on the Eastern Front.
After the war,
Saint-Loup and his wife took refuge in South America, settling in Argentina,
where he served as a military adviser to Juan Perón and taught Eva Perón how to
ski. In 1953, he was amnestied and returned to France, where he was a leading
figure on the intellectual far right until his death in 1990.
Saint-Loup rejected
Christianity for neo-paganism and the Traditionalism of René Guénon and Julius
Evola. He was a long-time friend and correspondent with Savitri Devi.
Saint-Loup’s books on
World War II include: Les volontaires (The Volunteers) (on the French Volunteer
Legion), Les hérétiques (The Heretics),
Les nostalgiques (The Nostalgics) (post-War stories of the volunteers), Les SS
de la toison d’or (The SS of the Golden Fleece) (on Léon Degrelle and the
Flemish and Walloon volunteers), La Division Azul (The Blue Division) (on the
Spanish Legion), and Götterdämmerung, ou rencontre avec la bête (Témoignage
1944–1945) (Götterdämmerung, or Encounter with the Beast [Experiences
1944–1945]).
His novels
include La nuit commence au Cap Horn
(Nightfall on Cape Horn), on the destruction of South American Indians by
Christian missionaries. The book would have won the prestigious Prix Goncourt,
but Le Figaro Littéraire exposed the notorious collaborationist as the true
author. Of the entire jury only Colette refused to retract her vote for
Saint-Loup during the ensuing scandal. Saint-Loup also wrote histories, travel
and adventure books, and books on automobiles.

Book Reveals True
Occult Nature of Judaism
By Michael Hoffman
The soothsayers and
augurs of the Talmud and Midrash are fully on display in this revealing study,
which celebrates the power and influence of astrology within Rabbinic Judaism
(leavened with a few escape clauses in the author's Introduction).
In these pages you'll
find Aquarius as the mazal of Yisrael, and Judah as Cancer the Crab!
The vast majority of
the revered rabbinic "sages" from the Taanaim through the Rishonim
periods practiced and advocated astrology and reincarnation, both of which are
part of the magical arts of the earliest pagan cultures, from Egypt to Babylon
(Daniel 21:2). This belt of transmission infected the heirs of Pharisaic
Judaism, today known as Orthodox Judaism.
The exception to this
occultism is the "Rambam," Moses Maimonides, who famously wrote
(publicly) against astrology. In this regard he was vastly outnumbered by his
brother rabbis -- both his contemporaries and antecedents.
Moreover, for
Christians and Black people at least, Maimonides is not exactly a hero since he
advocated the murder of Christ and his followers (in "Avodat
Kochavim"), and cursed Blacks as subhuman creatures mid-way between the
simian and the human (cf. The Guide of the Perplexed, Vol. 2 [chapter 51]) by
Rabbi Maimonides in the uncensored Shlomo Pines translation).
The author of
"The Secrets of the Stars," Rabbi Ari Storch, offers a handy and
accurate reference to the passages in rabbinic texts highly favorable to
astrology and for this reason alone, this book is worth its purchase price.
One caveat: it might
be prudent to purchase the first edition, published in 2011. It may be that
subsequent editions will be bowdlerized for purposes of hasbara, once it is
realized that this book bears witness to all but the most obtuse Christians and
goyim that the dogmas of Orthodox Judaism are abhorrent to the Biblical faith
(Isaiah 47: 11-15). Any Bible-literate person knows that astrology is an
abomination in the eyes of God. Orthodox Judaism with its passion for astrology
is convicted of being "full of things from the East" (Isaiah 2:6)

Maurice Sendak’s ‘Where

In the wake of

Like President
Obama's 2009 reading of "Where The Wild Things Are" on the White

Lady Gaga's "Poker Face," his signature improvisation of the mostly
illustrated book is still wildly entertaining.
"There's a bear

dunno."

Portions of the First National Bank of
Montgomery Minnesota v. Jerome Daly court file have been available on the

of the Justice of the Peace was not and could not be appealed because the
Justice of the Peace had ruled that the two one dollar federal reserve notes he
was paid by the appellant bank for an appellate fee were not legal tender.
It turns out that the Justice of the
Peace's decision was appealed to the next higher court, that a new trial was
scheduled in that next higher court, and that the parties mutually agreed to
dismiss the case. Although the terms of the agreement leading to the dismissal
are not in the court file, my suspicion is the debtor - who had won at the
Justice of the Peace level - threw in the towel because he knew he could not
win the second trial.
Defendant, Jerome Daly paid a high price
for his work on this case and other, similar cases. He was disbarred by the

Human Hormones Are
Being Eclipsed By Synthetic Chemicals
By Sayer Ji
A new study published
in the Journal of Applied Toxicology has raised some disturbing possibilities
regarding the dangers of common hormone-mimicking preservatives found in
thousands of consumer products on the market today.[1]
Titled "Parabens
detection in different zones of the human breast: consideration of source and
implications of findings," researchers discussed the role that parabens --
a class of estrogen-mimicking chemicals widely used in drugs, foods and
cosmetics -- may have in breast cancer and childhood disease.
The report focused on
the findings of The Genesis Breast Cancer Prevention Centre at the University
Hospital of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust published last month (March,
2012), which discovered five paraben esters in human breast tissue samples
collected from 40 mastectomies from women with primary breast cancer.[2] The
report revealed three things:
1) The ester form of
parabens found within the breast tissue samples indicated a dermal route of
exposure, as would occur through skin care products and underarm deodorants.
2) The paraben
residues were found at concentrations up to 1 million times higher
than the estrogen (estradiol) levels naturally found in human breast tissue.
3) Propylparaben was
found in the highest concentration in the underarm area (axilla), where underarm
deodorants are most used and breast cancer prevalence is at its highest.
While the World
Health Organization considers the estrogenic properties of parabens to be a low
toxicological risk due to it being 10,000-100,000 less potent than estradiol (E2),
the 1 million-fold higher levels found within breast tissue sampled clearly
indicate the magnitude of exposure more than compensates for the reduction in
potency.
Also noted in the new
study was a highly disturbing possibility: "For exposures in children,
concern has already been raised that 'the estrogenic burden of parabens and
their metabolites in blood may exceed the action of endogenous estradiol in
childhood and the safety margin for propylparaben is very low when comparing
worst-case exposure’ (Boberg et al., 2010)."
In other words,
synthetic hormones from chemicals like parabens may actually be eclipsing the
activity of endogenously produced (natural) hormones in our children. Given that 99.1% of the US population's urine
samples (ages 6 or older) contain methylparaben, this issue has broad-ranging
implications.
Presently, European
regulations allow for the use of parabens in cosmetics at up to 0.4% by
volume. The limits in the US are much
less restricted. According to the FDA’s website: "The Cosmetic Ingredient
Review (CIR) reviewed the safety of methylparaben, propylparaben, and
butylparaben in 1984 and concluded they were safe for use in cosmetic products
at levels up to 25%. Typically parabens are used at levels ranging from 0.01 to
0.3%." Parabens are also FDA-approved for use as food preservatives.
Given the fact that
modern-day toxicological risk assessments do not account for the adverse
effects of chronic, low-dose exposures, nor the reality of synergistic
toxicities, i.e. the reality that a chemical's adverse effects may be amplified
when present alongside other chemicals, this new research points to a
disturbing possibility: commonly used preservatives may be contributing greatly
to the burden of disease in exposed populations -- especially infants and
children, whose body burden is higher (lower body weight vs. chemical dose),
susceptibility to chemically-induced genotoxicity higher (because their cells
replicate more rapidly), and detoxification systems are less developed than adults.
It is becoming
increasingly clear that in order to protect ourselves and especially our
offspring from avoidable chemical exposures this country needs to implement the
precautionary principle in its toxicological risk assessments: if there is
indication that a chemical could do harm (based on cell and animal studies), it
should be treated as if it does do harm, and be regulated accordingly. Until
then, we are effectively a living and breathing nation of guinea pigs.

Vladimir Vernadsky
His Life and Work
Vernadsky was born in
Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire, on March 12, 1863, of mixed Russian and
Ukrainian parents. His father, a descendent of Ukrainian Cossacks, had been a
professor of political economy in Kiev before moving to Saint Petersburg, and
his mother was a noble woman of Russian ethnicity. He himself considered
himself both Russian and Ukrainian, and had some knowledge of the Ukrainian
language, but was loyal to the Russian state and was opposed to Ukrainian
independence.
Vernadsky graduated
from Saint Petersburg University in 1885. As the last mineralogist had died in
1887 in Russia, and Dokuchaev, a soil scientist, and A.P. Pavlov, a geologist,
had been teaching mineralogy for a while, Vernadsky chose to enter Mineralogy.
He wrote to his wife Natasha Vernadsky on 20 June 1888 from Switzerland:
"...to collect facts for their own
sake, as many now gather facts, without a program, without a question to answer
or a purpose is not interesting. However, there is a task which someday those
chemical reactions which took place at various points on earth; these reactions
take place according to laws which are known to us, but which, we are allowed
to think, are closely tied to general changes which the earth has undergone by
the earth with the general laws of celestial mechanics. I believe there is
hidden here still more to discover when one considers the complexity of chemical
elements and the regularity of their occurrence in groups..."
While trying to find
a topic for his doctorate, he first went to Naples to study with the
crystallographer Scacchi, who was senile at that time. The senility of Scacchi
lead Vernadsky to go to Germany to study under Paul Groth. There, Vernadsky
learned how to use the modern equipment of Groth who had developed a machine to
study the optical, thermal, elastic, magnetic and electrical properties of
crystals, as well as using the physics lab of Prof. Zonke, who was also working
on crystallisation.
Vernadsky first
popularized the concept of the noosphere and deepened the idea of the biosphere
to the meaning largely recognized by today's scientific community. The word
biosphere was invented by Austrian geologist Eduard Suess, whom Vernadsky had
met in 1911.
In Vernadsky's theory
of how the Earth develops, the noosphere is the
third stage in a succession of phases of development of the earth, after the
geosphere (inanimate matter) and the biosphere (biological life). Just as the
emergence of life fundamentally transformed the geosphere, the emergence of
human cognition fundamentally transformed the biosphere. In this theory, the
principles of both life and cognition are the essential features of the earth's
evolution, and must have been implicit in the earth all along. This systemic
and geological analysis of living systems complements Darwin's theory of
natural selection, which looks at each individual species, rather than at its
relationship to a subsuming principle.
Vernadsky's visionary
pronouncements were not widely accepted in the West. However, he was one of the
first scientists to recognize that the oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide in
the Earth's atmosphere result from biological processes. In the 1920s, he
published works arguing that living organisms could reshape the planets as
surely as any physical force. Vernadsky was an important pioneer of the
scientific bases for the environmental sciences.
Vernadsky was the
founder and the first president of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in Kiev,
Ukraine (1918), was the founder of the National Library of Ukrainian State and
worked closely with the Tavrida University in Crimea. During the Russian Civil
War, he hosted the gatherings of the young intellectuals who later founded the
émigré Eurasianist movement. One of the main avenues in both Moscow and Tavrida
National University, Crimea are named after him.
In the late 1930s and
early 1940s, Vernadsky played an early advisory role in the Soviet atomic bomb
project, as one of the most forceful voices arguing for the exploitation of
atomic energy, the surveying of Soviet uranium sources, and having nuclear
fission research conducted at his Radium Institute. He died, however, before a
full project was pursued.
Vernadsky's son
George Vernadsky (1887-1973) emigrated to the United States where he published
numerous books on medieval Russian history as well as medieval Ukrainian
history and modern Russian history.

Preventing Jewish Rule
What happens when
only Jews have guns? Raw Judaism
happens. Sadism and dictatorship
happen. Suffering and degradation
happen. Torture and murder happen. We’ve got several examples to go by. We’ve got the Soviet Union. We’ve got Germany. We’ve got Ukraine. We’ve got Hungary and we’ve got Israel. Different places, different victims,
identical results.
Jews really can’t
help themselves. They are only doing
what comes naturally to them. The Jewish
nature is constant and can never change.
This is a fact of life that we must recognize and master.
Jews are the most
sadistic people on Earth. They are
totally without mercy when they have the upper hand. When they don’t have the power, they whine
and cry and complain that they are not being treated fairly, that they are
being defamed. They do this to weaken
us, to deceive us into giving them the power over us that they crave.
What is the situation
in the United States? Virtually every
aspect of our lives is controlled by Jews.
The military is attacking and killing people whom the Jews want attacked
and killed. The police are trained by
Israelis and mind-controlled by the Anti-Defamation League (same thing). The law is dominated by Jewish lawyers and
Jewish judges. New York news and
Hollywood entertainment, which are now indistinguishable, are controlled by
Jews. Banking and finance and the
American housing market have collapsed under the Jewish corruption of
Goldman-Sachs, most notoriously with their “mortgage-backed securities.” A “mortgage-backed security” is truly
something only a Jew could dream up.
That any sophisticated investor could buy from a Jew a “sliced and diced
portion of a bundle” of mortgages with no chain of ownership and consider it “a
security” is mind-boggling.
Jews pretend that
they are special, that the law doesn’t apply to them. The law about nuclear weapons, for
example. The law about murdering
humanitarians. The law about defamation
(lying). Israel is licensed to kill
enemies on US soil. The US government is
controlled by AIPAC – no elected person in government will refuse an order from
AIPAC, which is licensed to destroy politicians.
We are under attack
in a Jewish war of annihilation and don’t even know who is attacking us. I could go on and on and have been known to
do so but this website is about solutions, not analysis.
How do we avoid
Jewish Rule, or the complete takeover of America by Jews to the extent that
guns are illegal for non-Jews? Jewish
Rule means disarmed dissidents such as we and our loved ones and friends being
arrested and taken by force to the Jewish gulag to be tortured and killed. Who has a proven history of such
atrocities? Well, the Jews have this
history. This is what they did to
non-Jews in Russia and the satellite countries when they took over in 1917.
Alexandr Solzhenitsyn
took the trouble to identify all the gulag commanders in his second book on his
experience as a political prisoner for telling a joke about Stalin, Gulag Archipelago II, and show their
pictures. Every one of them was a
Jew. Torturing prisoners is a Jewish
specialty.
It’s what they did in
parts of Germany a couple of years later during the Jewish revolution after
WWI. It’s what they did in Eastern
Europe after WWII. It’s what they did in
Palestine after they took over in 1948, following their slaughter of thousands
of Palestinians to terrorize the rest into fleeing to Jordan and
elsewhere. They’re still doing it, most
notably in the giant concentration camp called Gaza. The Jews periodically invade the unarmed camp
with American jets, helicopters, tanks and rockets and use outlawed munitions
such as white phosphorus. Any idea what
white phosphorus does to you?
Who else has this
proven history, besides Red China? Well,
the United States has this history, going way back. In fact, the United States originated this
sort of thing. The first and
longest-enduring mass extermination, ethnic cleansing program was run by the US
Army against American Indians and is still being run against them by US
government agencies such as the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health
Service. American Indians are still
isolated in concentration camps called “reservations.” How can an American criticize Israel?
I want to examine
briefly the American way of treating people, in case someone is reading this
who hasn’t seen the earlier material.
Wedged in among the atrocities against the Indians was the War of
Northern Aggression, waged by a hideously ugly lawyer named Lincoln. This monster arrested anyone in the Northern
States who objected to his warmongering, including hundreds of editors and
publishers! No habeas corpus, no trials
– just disappeared into dungeons for the duration! New revised death figures for Lincoln’s
War: over 800,000.

ANC is a Jewish Front
By Michael Hoffman II
The African National
Congress (ANC) in South Africa was guided by two Communist Jews, Albie Sachs,
"one of its foremost intellectuals" (London Sunday Times, August 29,
1993) and Yossel Mashel Slovo (Joe Slovo).
Slovo was born in a
shtetl in Lithuania and grew up speaking Yiddish and studying the Talmud. He
joined the ANC's terrorist wing, the Umkhonto we Sizwe, in 1961 and eventually
became its commander. He was named Secretary General of the South African
Communist Party in 1986. ("Joe Slovo," Jewish Chronicle, January 13,
1995).
Slovo had been the “planner
of many of the ANC terrorist attacks, including the 1983 car bomb that killed
19 people and injured many others... Slovo, who had traveled to the Soviet
Union many times, was awarded a Soviet medal on his 60th birthday...Slovo is a
dedicated Communist, a Marxist Leninist without morality of any kind, for whom
only victory counts, whatever the human cost, whatever the bloodshed...Slovo
disputes little of his image as 'the Communist mastermind' behind the ANC's
armed struggle. For him the fears of South Africa's whites are both a measure
of the ANC's growing strength and a crucial factor in hastening what he believes
will be its ultimate victory. 'Revolutionary violence has created the
inspirational impact that we had intended, and it has won for the ANC its
leading position,' Slovo said." ("Rebel Strategist Seeks to End
Apartheid," L.A. Times, Aug. 16, 1987, p. 14). When Nelson Mandela's ANC
took over South Africa, Slovo was named Minister of Housing.
Nelson Mandela and Joe
Slovo give the clenched fist salute in front of the blood-drenched Hammer and
Sickle flag of Jewish Bolshevism.
Slovo, a
Yiddish-speaking Lithuanian Jew, was Secretary General of the South African
Communist Party and director of the military wing of the ANC, which perpetrated
numerous terror bombings against white civilians.
Mandela was hailed as
a great statesman by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II in her 1996 Christmas message
to the realm.
When we look at these
gruesome personalities, who are only the tip of the Jewish iceberg that was
Soviet Communism and who were responsible for the deaths of upwards of thirty
million people; when we realize how little is written or filmed about their
crimes, we begin to realize that the exclusive focus on the crimes of the
Germans, real and imagined, is a function of propaganda.
If the facts about
the Jewish Communist holocaust against the peasants and Christians of Russia
and Eastern Europe were given massive publicity, the supposed "special
evil" of the Germans would stand exposed as a racist fraud.
German actions during
World War Two must be viewed in a vacuum in order for the New World Order to
advance its covert objective of Jewish supremacy.
When Nazi actions are
placed within the context of Jewish Communism's abominable crimes against the
Christian people of Russia and Eastern Europe, the public will begin to
understand that Hitler and the Nazis were a reaction, however unbalanced and
excessive, to the Jewish Communist genocide against millions of Christians and
peasants in the East.
This is why the
crucial facts about Jewish Communism must never be documented in Hollywood
films, discussed in university courses or pictured in contemporary news
magazines. This is why Malcolm Muggeridge's book, an eyewitness account of the
Jewish Communist holocaust against Christians, Winter in Moscow, has been tightly suppressed.
In the Sunday
Telegraph (London, England: November 18, 1990) the question is asked, "Why
then has it (Winter in Moscow) never
been republished? The answer may lie in Muggeridge's handling of what was then
called the 'Jewish question.'...Winter in
Moscow is acutely concerned with Jews...It was, of course, the case that a
very disproportionate number of the early Bolsheviks were Jews and thus of
commissars and apparatchiki..."
The Campaign for
Radical Truth in History's documentation of these forbidden facts constitutes
the chief motivation for the suppression attempts of such Stalinist censorship
groups as the A.D.L. and Simon Wiesenthal Center. Both of these organizations
would, if they could, have this writer jailed for publishing the documentation
herein in Germany, France, or Austria. They regularly supply "intelligence
files" to those governments on pro-Christian and pro-German writers. In
1995 the ADL sought to assist the prosecution of 69-year-old American writer
Hans Schmidt who was imprisoned in Germany for publishing a newsletter in
Florida. These Jewish censors would like to have similar laws passed worldwide,
resulting in the jailing of more writers and researchers who will not toe the
party line or worship the Golden Calf.
To give the other
side of history, the revisionist side-to give voice to the voiceless millions
of dead victims of Jewish Communism-is regarded as "hateful" by the
vain Zionists who demand for themselves the right to vomit forth a daily
barrage of sewage upon the sacred memory of our grandparents and ancestors.

---the number of people living on less than
$1 a day has doubled from two to four million;
But the numbers of
very wealthy Blacks driving around in expensive motor cars and living in up
market homes has risen. But are they
adding value to the economy with their mainly political appointments at all
levels with high salaries and jobs through affirmative action laws in private
industry? We think not especially as
there are in many cases three people or more doing the same job than under
Apartheid.
---the unemployment rate has more than
doubled to 48% from 1991 - 2002;
And the value of
the SA currency has plummeted since the ANC took power. In the last 18 months the Rand has devalued
against the Euro by nearly 40%. So not
only has the number of jobs fallen, but the earnings do not buy anywhere as
much as under Apartheid. But the ANC do
not seem to mind as they increase their salaries and bonuses to compensate.
---only 5,000 of the
more than 35-million black South Africans earn over $60,000 a year;
Mainly affirmative
action appointments and promotion to all levels of government with salaries
several times higher than the far fewer people that did the work under
Apartheid.
---the ANC government
has built 1.8 million (very ramshackle, tiny) new homes while two-million South
Africans have lost theirs;
Just about all the homes built under Apartheid are still
standing solidly. They were built by
black labourers under mainly white supervision. There is a scandal in SA now where thousands
of occupants of the new homes built under ANC supervision are literally falling
down and the mortgagees are refusing to pay their monthly installments until
they are properly repaired. An
impossible task.
---nearly one million
South Africans were evicted from farms in the first decade of 'democracy':
evicted by black, newly empowered farmers who were given 'redistributed'
farmland;
Many of the farms are producing about 30% of what they did
under the white owners, many of whom had been there for generations. And it is not an education problem, it is due
to attitude and will power to work and succeed.
One, the Zebedelia citrus farm is now being managed by a white manager
from Zimbabwe after production fell to zero in about a year when the new owners
were virtually given the farm by the government. It was the largest citrus fruit farm in the
southern hemisphere before.
---the shack dweller
population grew by 50% due to untrammeled migration from the rest of Africa;
Previously under Apartheid, squatting was not allowed so many
Africans lived on their own lands with adequate food and cheap African style
housing. As their birth-rate is and was
unsustainable for western style growth and they were restricted by the white
government from the regular wars they had which kept the populations down, plus
having a normal life expectancy under a white government due to health
standards, they are quickly returning to the old days due to diseases returning and their inability
to cope with regular droughts, all overcome when the white man ruled. Only AIDS and seriously violent crime could
be said to be keeping the population in check.
---in 2006,
one-quarter of the entire SA population lives in shacks without running water
or electricity.
When the ANC came to power, the black masses were allowed to
move to the cities where they thought the homes and jobs they had been promised
by the ANC would quickly appear, but they were in the main used by the ANC to
populate areas where their votes could ensure the whites were unable to
represent their old constituencies. Now
the cities are crowded with unhealthy shacks, many criminals who are bitter
that there is no work. The ANC made
impossible promises as is usual by a terror organisation seeking power.

The Axial Age and the
Levels of Reality
What if someone told
you that the absolute truth (true reality) is actually just the same as the
illusion (false reality)? What if you're told that the truth you are searching
for is actually right in front of you?
Quite a bummer, isn’t
it? But let me answer that for you with this story.
Once upon a time, a
German psychiatrist and philosopher named Karl Theodor Jaspers proposed the
idea that during a certain period in human history, the major belief systems
(religions) that exist today emerged and began to develop simultaneously and
independently in China, India, Persia, Judea, and Greece. This was the period
from 800 to 200 BC.
He also identified a
number of key thinkers who had a profound influence in the development of these
belief systems. People like Socrates, Confucius, and Buddha were just some of
his examples. Jaspers called this period the Axial Age.
In the Axial Age, people began to have a different kind of awareness. They started to focus more on their notions of reality and tried to examine the nature of the self. They realized that the more you actually know about yourself, the more you will be able to understand the true nature of reality.
There are many
religious and spiritual traditions all over the world. The major ones that have
survived for centuries since the Axial Age are the ones included in the images
you see above and below. Each one has its own model of reality, but most people
are unaware of the fact that these belief systems have many peculiar
similarities.
Diagram by Brad
Reynolds, from Ken Wilber, A Brief History of Everything, (Shambhala: Boston),
1996.
The greatest common
factor among these belief systems, perhaps, is the idea that reality is divided
into several levels or realms. The reality we experience is actually just one
of the many realms that compose an even larger reality. The myriad of realms
and sub-realms in each religion makes it impossible for me to describe in just
one article, but you can see that they generally have a relative physical
reality, a subtle reality, a causal reality, and an absolute reality.
Another idea that
these belief systems assert is that the “Self” is divided into several aspects
that correspond to each level of reality. Meaning, the physical aspect of the
self exists in the physical reality, the subtle aspect exists in the subtle
reality, the causal aspect exists in the causal reality, and the true Self exists
in the absolute reality.
There is, however,
one thing that is probably not obvious to the many followers of various belief
systems. That is the proposition that all these levels of reality and aspects
of the Self are but different degrees of manifestation of the same thing.
For example, some
schools of Buddhism stress that there is actually no difference between samsara
(the world of illusion) and nirvana (absolute truth) as implied by the saying
"Form is emptiness; emptiness is form." For Hindus, they believe that
Brahman is the origin of the phenomenal universe and that a liberated human
being is one who has realized Brahman as his or her own true self. Christians,
in their own special way, believe in the oneness of God and all of creation.
(Sorry if I have left out your category)
The principle that
you need to be able to reconcile truth and illusion is actually quite simple.
The principle is called non-duality, which means that all phenomena are
inseparable. As usual, there are many views regarding non-duality, but you need
not confuse yourself. Just think of it this way:
A cause depends on
its effect to be a cause as effect depends on its cause to be an effect.
Without the cause, there can be no effect, and without the effect, there cannot
be any cause. Additionally, no matter how you look at it, you won't be able to
find any line that separates the two. There is no exact point when and where a
cause becomes an effect. From this principle, we could argue that without the
absolute, there can be no relative; without the relative, there can be no
absolute. Without the truth, there can be no illusion; without the illusion,
there cannot be truth.
If you reflect upon
this for some time, it becomes quite clear that all things do not exist
separately. You are, in essence, part of these “other” realities as they are a
part of you. It is only because of the mind’s need to create a distinction that
the illusion of reality arises in oneself.

26 Transpersonal
Experiences in Higher States of Consciousness
Transpersonal
experiences are more commonly known and often referred to as spiritual,
mystical, religious, occult, magical, or paranormal experiences. The word
transpersonal refers to transcendence of the ordinary boundaries of personality
(Grof, 1989). Transpersonal experiences may be induced by various methods and
techniques such as meditation, sensory deprivation, yoga, kundalini practices,
mindfulness of breathing, pranayama, psychedelic therapy, ritual ingestion of
entheogens, brainwave entrainment, visualization, mantras, hypnosis, and many
others.
The scientific field
that studies these experiences is called transpersonal psychology. Stanislav
Grof is one of the founders of the field of transpersonal psychology and a
pioneering researcher into the use of altered states of consciousness for
purposes of healing, growth, and insight.
In his book called
Realms Of The Human Unconscious: Observations From LSD Research, Grof
classified twenty six types of transpersonal experiences based on his
observations while conducting research on LSD and its effects on human
patients.
Here’s a
short description of those experiences:
1. Embryonal and Fetal Experiences – these involve the reliving
of memories of specific events in the maternal womb, typically in stunning and
dramatic detail. Experiences may vary from traumatizing events to being in a
continuous state of bliss or joy.
2. Ancestral Experiences – the subjects report gaining access to
information about their biological ancestors reaching back many generations and
centuries or in more recent times. The experiences generally correspond to a
person’s racial and cultural background.
3. Collective and Racial Experiences – involve visions and
insights into the various aspects of cultural groups such as history, social
structure, religious cosmology, forms of worship, moral code, art, and
technology.
4. Phylogenetic (Evolutionary) Experiences – involve regression
into the past and insights into the evolutionary development of animals such as
insects, mammals, birds, reptiles, and various species of sea creatures.
Subjects reported gaining an intuitive understanding of Darwinian or Lamarckian
concepts of evolution.
5. Past-Incarnation Experiences – are fragmented visions of
scenes and individual events or a full reliving of experiences in one’s
previous lives. Although one may experience being in another form, place, and
time, individual identity is not lost.
6. Precognition, Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, and “Time Travels”
– the subjects reported being able to perceive events far into the future or
into the past, see objects and hear sounds from vast distances, and travel
through time at will.
7. Ego Transcendence in Interpersonal Relations and the Experience of Dual
Unity – the subjects reported experiences of merging with another
person like the therapist, a family member, and so on while still maintaining
their individual identity. These experiences may evoke deep feelings of love
and sacredness.
8. Identification with Other Persons – an individual experiences
herself as another person and may completely lose her own identity. The person
experiencing this may identify with relatives or other people (often
well-known) both in the past and in the present.
9. Group Identification and Group Consciousness – an individual
identifies with an entire group of people. Some examples given were groups like
the victims of the Spanish Inquisition, prisoners of Nazi concentration camps,
tortured Jews and Christians, people joining the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca,
Hindus worshipping at the Ganges River, and many others.
10. Animal Identification – an individual experiences what it is
like to be an animal, but unlike phylogenetic (evolutionary) experiences, the
person does not regress into the past and there are no Darwinian-like or
Lamarckian-like processes witnessed.
11. Plant Identification – an individual identifies with different
species of plants and experiences what it is like to be in the here and now,
have direct contact with the four elements (earth, water, fire, wind), bring
beauty to the surroundings, transform cosmic energy into useful resource for
food, and nourish other forms of life unselfishly. (Sounds nice to be a plant.
Hmm.)
12. Oneness with Life and with All Creation – identification with
all forms of life on the planet and insight into the fundamental laws of
nature.
13. Consciousness of Inorganic Matter – an individual gains
insight into macroscopic and microscopic phenomena of non-living things such as
the ocean, fire, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, windstorms, computers, jets,
diamond, gold, steel, atoms, electromagnetic forces, and so on.
14. Planetary Consciousness – an individual gains insight into the
nature of the entire planet including the different aspects of its geological,
biological, cultural, and technological development.
15. Extraplanetary Consciousness – are experiences involving
phenomena outside the planet Earth. These may include observations of other
planets, satellites, solar systems, supernovas, quasars, black holes, etc.
Subjects who have studied mathematics and physics have reported gaining intuitive
understanding of complex theories and principles of time and space.
16. Out-of-Body Experiences, Traveling Clairvoyance and Clairaudience, “Space
Travels,” and Telepathy – the individual feels that he can read
other people’s minds, go beyond the usual limitations of time and space, and go
out of the body to travel at will to any location that one chooses.
17. Organ, Tissue, and Cellular Consciousness – one experiences
tuning in to the consciousness of the different parts of the body (muscles,
organs, tissues, etc.) which can extend all the way to cellular and subcellular
levels.
18. Spiritistic and Mediumistic Experiences – one may experience
phenomena similar to those found in occult writings such as glossolalia
(speaking in tongues), automatic writing, encounters with astral bodies or
spirits of deceased persons, spirit possession, mediumistic trance states, etc.
19. Experiences of Encounters with Suprahuman Spiritual Entities –
an individual may encounter and interact with spirit guides, religious
teachers, and enlightened beings like buddhas and saints.
20. Experiences of Other Universes and Encounters with Their Inhabitants
– an individual finds herself in strange extradimensional realities with
entities that appear in strange physical forms and operate in unintelligible
ways.
21. Archetypal Experiences and Complex Mythological Sequences – an
individual experiences visions of archetypal and mythological figures like
those found in the writings of analytical psychologist, Carl Jung, and
comparative mythologist, Joseph Campbell.
22. Experiences of Encounters with Various Deities – an individual
experiences visions of benevolent and malevolent deities (gods and goddesses)
like the ones described in various cultures and religions (Hindu, Buddhist,
Greek, Egyptian, Mesoamerican, and so on).
23. Intuitive Understanding of Universal Symbols – an individual
experiences visions of universal symbols and insight into the various levels of
their meaning. Some examples are the cross, star of David, swastika, Nile
cross, lotus flower, yin-yang, Shiva lingam, and so on.
24. Activation of the Chakras and Arousal of the Serpent Power (Kundalini)
– these experiences involve the release of energy from the individual chakras
of the body. According to Grof:
“Kundalini yoga bears the
closest resemblance to LSD psychotherapy. Both techniques mediate an instant
and enormous release of energy, produce profound and dramatic experiences, and
can bring impressive results in a relatively short time. On the other hand,
they involve the greatest risk and can be quite dangerous if they are not
practiced under careful supervision and responsible guidance.”
25. Consciousness of the Universal Mind – an individual
experiences the boundless, supreme, unfathomable, ineffable, transcendental,
non-rational, infinitely blissful, formless, dimensionless, and ultimate
principle of being, i.e., the consciousness of the Universal Mind.
26. The Supracosmic
and Metacosmic Void – Grof described this as “the primordial emptiness,
nothingness, and silence, which is the ultimate source and cradle of all
existence.”
Please be reminded
that many psychoactive substances such as LSD are illegal in most countries. If
ever they are legal, only licensed professionals are permitted to administer
them for research and treatment use. I have written tons of articles that could
help you reach higher consciousness states using techniques that don’t rely on
the use of any kind of substance. I’m not an advocate of unsupervised and
uncontrolled use of psychedelics as you will understand when you read my next
post regarding spiritual crisis. If the experiences listed above inspire you to
explore the realms of the unconscious, try practicing meditation (not only is
it legal, but it’s also free).

Fair Trade
Pay The Farmers What

Fair Trade is an
effective and efficient response to poverty. It is one easy thing we can do to
redirect some of our food dollars to the farmers in developing nations that
grow products that we can't grow locally, like coffee and chocolate.
Fair Trade
contributes to a fair and sustainable economy locally and globally, by making
sure the farmers get what their crops are worth.
On May 14th 2011
millions of small producers, artisans, farmers, Fair Trade producers, traders
and consumers will celebrate World Fair Trade Day.
In this video, author
Anna Lappe (daughter of Frances Moore Lappe, author of Diet for a Small Planet)
and chef Bryant Terry discuss how choosing Fair Trade products contributes to a
sustainable food system.
Wouldn't it be great
to know that the coffee you buy may be helping a farmer and his village out of
poverty -- instead of keeping a system in place that assures he will never be
paid anything close to the fair price? It only costs us pennies more to make this
choice.
Let's start asking
for Fair Trade products in stores that don't carry them... yet.

Biology of Aggression
By Randy J. Nelson
(2005)
Book Description
Unchecked aggression
and violence take a significant toll on society. Even if we manage to avoid
being the direct victim of a violent act, the effects of aggression and
violence reach us all: We hear about the mauling of a woman by an aggressive
dog, our children are bullied at school, or we deal with impulsive violence
while commuting to work or attending a sporting event. Reflecting psychology in
general, the dominant roles of learning and environmental influences - both
social and nonsocial - have traditionally been prominent in discussions of the
etiology of human aggression. Biological factors have not been considered
sufficiently important to investigate in the search for ways of dealing with
human aggression or violence. With recent advances in pharmacology and genetic
manipulation techniques, however, new interest has developed in the biological
mechanisms of both non-human and human aggression. Although aggression is
certainly a complex social behavior with multiple causes, molecular biological
factors should not be overlooked, as they may well lead to interventions that
prevent excess aggressive behaviors. The primary goal of this book is to
summarize and synthesize recent advances in the biological study of aggression.
As most aggressive encounters among human and non-human animals represent a
male proclivity, the research in this book describes and discusses studies
using the most appropriate murine model: testosterone-dependent offensive
inter-male aggression, which is typically measured in resident-intruder or
isolation-induced aggression tests. The research also emphasizes various
molecules that have been linked to aggression tests. The research also
emphasizes various molecules that have been linked to aggression by the latest
gene-targeting and pharmacological techniques. Although the evidence continues
to point to androgens and serotonin (5-HT) as major hormonal and
neurotransmitter factors in aggressive behavior, recent work with GABA,
dopamine, vasopressin, and other factors, such as nitric oxide, has revealed
significant interactions with the neural circuitry underlying aggression. This
book is organized according to levels of analysis. The first section examines
the genetic contributions to aggression in species ranging from crustaceans to humans.
The section summarizes the involvement of various neurotransmitters and
neuromodulators in aggressive behavior. The third section summarizes the
influence of hormones on aggression, primarily in humans. All chapters
emphasize future directions for research on aggression and reveal important
domains that have received comparatively less attention in this literature.
Considered together, these chapters provide up-to-date coverage of the biology
of aggression by some of the leading authorities currently working in this
field. Biology of Aggression will direct future research to continue the recent
advances in the pharmacological and genetic approaches to understanding
aggression and violence. It promises to be a valuable resource for professional
and student researchers in neuroscience, psychiatry, cognitive and
developmental psychology, behavioral biology, and veterinary medicine.
Editorial Reviews
"This is an
extremely comprehensive overview of the biological aspects of
aggression."
--Doody's
"This timely
volume covers genetics, neurotransmitters, hormones, development, pharmacology
and psychophysiology. Almost all the chapters are up to date, point out
weaknesses in previous investigations and suggest future directions - a real
help to the novice in this area. Of course, one principal reason that
neuroscientists study aggression is to learn how to modulate it in humans and
perhaps how to cope with it in other species. This book provides a good
yardstick to measure where we stand in attaining those goals, while making
clear that we are not yet able to predict with any useful degree of precision
who will be aggressive and when they will be aggressive . . . Studying the key
variables identified in this book may help reduce aggression and recidivism in
the adolescent and adult violent population, as well as persistent bullying at
school."

Mary's Mosaic by Peter Janney
Mary's Mosaic
The CIA Conspiracy to
Murder John F. Kennedy, Mary Pinchot Meyer, and Their
Vision for World Peace
By
Peter Janney
(2012)
About the Author
Peter Janney grew up
in Washington, D.C. during the Cold War era of the 1950s and 1960s. His father
Wistar Janney was a senior career CIA official. The Janney family was
intimately involved with many of Washington’s social and political elite that
included the family of Mary and Cord Meyer, as well as other high-ranking CIA
officials such as Richard Helms, Jim Angleton, Tracy Barnes, Desmond
FitzGerald, and William Colby.
A graduate of
Princeton, Janney earned a doctoral degree in psychology at Boston University
in 1981. He has been a practicing psychologist and consultant for over 30
years. In 2002, he completed an MBA degree at Duke University's Fuqua School of
Business.
Mary's Mosaic is his
first book. He currently resides by the sea in Beverly, Massachusetts.

Mary Pinchot Meyer
Mary Pinchot was born
on 14th October, 1920. Her father Amos Pinchot, was a wealthy lawyer who helped
fund the radical journal, The Masses. He was also a key figure in the
Progressive Party. Her mother, Ruth Pinchot, was a journalist who worked for
worked for magazines such as The Nation and The New Republic.
As a child Mary was
brought into contact with left-wing intellectuals. People like Mabel Dodge,
Crystal Eastman, Max Eastman, Louis Brandeis, Robert La Follette and Harold
Ickes were regular visitors at their Grey Towers home in Milford, Pennsylvania.
Mary attended
Brearley School and Vassar College. In 1938 she began going out with William
Attwood. It was while with Attwood at a dance held at Choate that she met John
F. Kennedy for the first time.
While at Vassar Mary
became interested in left-wing politics. This did not seem to upset her father,
Amos Pinchot, who wrote to his brother Gifford: "Vassar seems to be very
interested in communism. And a great deal of warm debating is going on among
the students of Mary's class, which I think is an excellent thing. People of
that age ought to be radical anyhow."
After leaving Vassar
she obtained work as a journalist at United Press. This included writing for
magazines such as Mademoiselle. Mary also became a member of the American Labor
Party. This insured that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) started a
file on Meyer's political activities. Mary, like her parents, was also a
committed pacifist.
In 1944 Mary met Cord
Meyer, a lieutenant in the US Marines who was recovering from serious shrapnel
injuries that had resulted in him losing an eye. The couple married on 19th
April, 1945. Soon afterwards the couple went to San Francisco to attend the
conference that established the United Nations. Cord went as an aide to Harold
Stassen, whereas Mary, who was working for the North American Newspaper
Alliance at the time, was one of the reporters sent to cover this important
event.
Mary Pinchot during
the Second World War
Cord Meyer had been
shocked by the dropping of the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After the
war Meyer commissioned a film by Pare Lorentz called The Beginning or the End.
Meyer wanted this film to be the definitive statement about the dangers of the
atomic age. Cord wrote at the time: "Talked with Mary of how steadily
depressing is our full realization of how little hope there is of avoiding the
approaching catastrophe of atomic warfare."
The following year
Meyer published a book about his war experiences, Waves of Darkness. Meyer
expressed pacifist views in the book: "The only certain fruit of this
insanity will be the rotting bodies upon which the sun will impartially shine
tomorrow. Let us throw down these guns that we hate."
For a while Mary
worked as an editor for the Atlantic Monthly. Her first child Quentin was born
in 1945. After the birth of Michael in 1947 she became a housewife but still
managed to attend classes at the Art Students League in New York City.
Like her husband,
Mary became an advocate of world government. In May, 1947, Cord Meyer was
elected president of the United World Federalists. Under his leadership,
membership of the organization doubled in size. Albert Einstein was one of his
most important supporters and personally solicited funds for the organization.
Mary wrote for its journal, The United World Federalists.

“Before a standing
army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every Kingdom
of Europe. The supreme power cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because
the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any
band of troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.”
--Noah Webster, 1787
