See? Muslims Suck.

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

I logged on to the blog, here, and saw a page full of stupid Islamic crap and Arabic writing, with the English part being all LOVE MOHAMMED, PEACEFUL ISLAM and so forth, and I want to thank the idiot who hacked my blog for demonstrating what pointless assholes Muslims really are. Please, hack it again. I like it when you prove me right.

My host frequently backs up my websites and all I have to do to get them immediately restored is to make a phone call. That’s it. No further effort required.

Only assholes hack websites. This is just a plain fact of life. We all know it and accept it as a given, and Muslims are the worst assholes on the planet. If not, then why not create your own legitimate blog instead of putting up some childishly done bunch of crap on someone else’s?

But go ahead. Hack away. No one cares and there’s no loss. I can see you jumping up and down and making monkey noises now, full of glee at doing something disrespectful to someone else’s property. Do you understand now why you Muslims suck? You go around acting like your religion is totally superior, when the truth is, you have no morals at all.

Morning Roundup

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

Boy we sure got some odd looking stray sheep rounded up this morning. Talk about rangey-lookin’ critters…

India’s Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), India’s biggest and oldest Hindu nationalist group, is getting ready to market cow piss as a soft drink. Called “gau jal”, or “cow water”  in Sanskrit, it sure sounds yummy. Holy Cow Piss, Batman!

In Jolly Auld England, it’s getting jollier. The Home Office, whatever that is, has referred to Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders as a Far Right Extremist because of his short anti-Islam movie, “Fitna”, and banned him from entry into the country. The film features verses from the Koran with images of terrorist attacks in New York, London and Madrid and calls on Muslims to remove “hate-preaching” verses from the text. Lord Pearson, who is hosting the show in the House of Lords, said that the screening would go ahead with or without Mr Wilders.

Ah, but… Mr. Wilders is on his way to London’s Heathrow Airport anyway, and says they’ll have to physically restrain him in handcuffs to prevent his attendance. In the meantime, the Dutch are getting very unhappy with the English over this treatment of a fellow parliamentarian, and as one Brit put it: “Remarkable, we allow terrorists into the country and ban anti-terrorists.” When you keep in mind that Britain was the mother of Parliament and free speech, this critter starts looking like a 3 headed, 5 legged birth defect.

Another loose and rather mangy looking stray in England is: Prime Minister Gordon Brown “remained in favour of President Obama’s decision to inject cash into the economy. “We are supportive of the approach in the US in terms of their fiscal policy.” ” Really! The very same G. Brown who was fully supportive of George Bush’s policies that Brown mirrored, that now have Britain ready to collapse economically. “Mr Brown does not want to join criticism of President Obama’s stimulus proposals, which he sees as vindicating his own.”

Does he even have his own? This guy behaves like a follower sheep. Baaa.

Woopsie! It’s a Gunfight At The Heathrow Corral. Freedom update on Geert Wilders:

Mr Wilders said: “I am in a detention centre at Heathrow … I am detained. They took my passport. I will not be allowed to enter the country. They will send me back within a few hours.”

On his flight to London, he told The Times that the British Government was “the biggest bunch of cowards in Europe”.

”It is easy to invite people you agree with, it is more difficult to invite people you disagree with and this is the proof of the pudding,” he said.

“I am going to Great Britain because I was invited by another politician (Lord Pearson of Rannoch). I am a democrat, I am serving freedom of speech. They are not only being nasty to me they are being nasty to freedom of speech.

He added: “They (the British government) are more Chamberlain than Churchill.” He said Gordon Brown was the “biggest coward in Europe”. I agree.

At 2.20pm, Mr Wilders was escorted through UK immigration by two plain-clothed officers and into the offices of the UK border agency.

Labour peer Lord Ahmed, who raised Hell in Parliament over Wilders visit, told the BBC: “This man doesn’t have any respect for law. He’s doing this for publicity and he’s seeking that and getting that.”

He added: “If this man was allowed into this country it would certainly cause problems within communities around Britain.”

Interpreted, that means, We Muslims will riot and there will be terrorist attacks on you. Ahmed had threatened Parliament with an uprising of 10,000 Muslims if Wilders were allowed in.

The Muslim Council of Britain said Mr Wilders was “an open and relentless preacher of hate”.

Oh, really? Even though the Muslims have regular demonstrations in the streets carrying placards preaching hatred and death to Jews and the downfall of Britain?

Lib Dem home affairs spokesman Chris Huhne said: “Freedom of speech is our most precious freedom of all, because all the other freedoms depend on it. But there is a line to be drawn even with freedom of speech, and that is where it is likely to incite violence or hatred against someone or some group.”

Right. Stifle the voice of anyone who wants to speak the truth about Islam. What a coward.

Baaaaa. See that guy with the long stick with the crook on the end, herding the British sheep? He’s a muslim.

Time is like a wall

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

We only know the world we’re born into. Most of us were bored to tears in our history classes in school. At least I was. All that stuff that happened before my life began was like so many fairy tales. How could it apply to me? My concern, like all of us, is the here and now, the immediate present, this is what’s real, that which is happening NOW.

I was born about 3 years before the US got attacked by Japan, so to me, World War II is real and relevant to my life. To everyone born after the war was over, that is the world they were born into, one where there was no World War II. Likewise for those born after JFK was assassinated or after the Viet Nam war. Events that happened prior to our lives might as well never have happened because they never impacted us. Or so we think.

The truth is that everything that ever happened in the past, literally everything, has created this moment. You would probably not have been born if the Romans hadn’t invaded England. Everything would be different. All existence today was created by all the yesterdays.

My point is that we don’t see much beyond ourselves, not in terms of the world around us and not in terms of our very real and solid connection with the flow of events. If we want to know where we’re going, we have to be able to see where we’ve been before we came into being.

This is by way of following up on my immediately previous post. AOW left a comment that it was all doomsday scare talk. Not really. I was just following the flow of time. When I was born there was less than a third of the people on Earth that there are now, and then the War whittled that number down considerably. We humans have certainly made up for lost time though.

I’ve watched our own population become nearly overwhelming and all the destruction to our society that it’s brought, and seeing where that’s going is simplicity itself. The prediction by our government that Mexico will soon become a failed state is a likely one, and the cause of Mexico’s problems is overpopulation. That’s why over 30 million Mexicans have already flooded into the US. Their own country can’t support that many.

But that’s not just happening here, it’s happening everywhere. In fact, Americans are bailing out of the US, moving to Canada and anywhere else they can find more room. If we weren’t suffering from overpopulation we wouldn’t have had another 500,000 people line up this month alone for unemployment benefits. It won’t be long before our Employment Insurance systems collapses.

Just because something didn’t happen within your own personal span of years doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect you. It does. Everything that ever happened does, and the events of a 1000 years ago and more will continue to affect you and your children and their children for 1000s of years yet to come, and you’d be wise to take a good long look at the path that time has laid out for us all.

I learned as a boy that knowledge is survival. At one time you could go through your life from one end to the other, blithely unaware of what we like to call History, and probably do about as well as the next guy. That’s all coming to an end. How it’s going to end, I really don’t know, but I can see the flow of time, and the way our world is now is not the way it’s going to be, and soon. Look at it. Do yourself a favor.

TIME TO STOP AND TAKE A BREATH

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

In the guardian.co.uk today comes the most two sided story I ever read in my life.

American teenagers are increasingly facing prosecution as sex offenders as a result of the rapidly spreading practice of sending explicit photos of themselves by mobile phone — a trend known as “sexting”. In the latest case, three teenage girls in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, who sent nude self portraits, and the three male classmates who received the images, have all been served with child pornography charges. The girls have been charged with manufacturing and disseminating child pornography while the boys are accused of possessing it. In Rochester, New York, a boy aged 16 faces seven years in jail for circulating an image of a girlfriend to friends.

First, this sort of open and explicit sexual behavior among children never used to happen and was never a problem. Kids kept their bodies to themselves and certainly never paraded their nakedness in front of the opposite sex. So the fact that they are now, and increasingly so, speaks directly to the pressures on them to seek gratification, to assert their sexuality, to reach for independence, to emulate their Hollywood idols, to rebel against their elders… the list goes on.

When sexuality is pumped at all of us continually in our media, especially television, through blatant ads for Viagra to have sex longer and more often, ads for pills that make penises larger and make a point about how happy the users are for getting greater sexual pleasure, with Levis ads showing a young couple yanking off their clothes to have sex…

How do we then expect our kids to react? Puberty brings on a heavy hormone rush as bodies fill out and urges mount in intensity. So are we adults helping them learn to cope with this until their brains catch up with their bodies? Hell no, we’re exploiting their sexuality to sell them stuff, we’re encouraging exactly the kind of behavior, for profit, that we should be doing our best to discourage with wise counsel.

Then, secondly, after they do what we have pushed them into doing, we call them Sex Offenders and put them in prison and destroy their lives forever.

Taking away their cell phone cameras isn’t the answer but it would be a good start. They don’t need cameras in their cell phones and expecting them to always behave responsibly is silly.

However.

The burden really is on our legal system to back off and take a deep breath. We just can’t go and put kids in prisons for years for sharing nude pictures of each other and then make them register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives for showing off their private parts to each other. We have taught our children to be openly sexual, like it or not. Now we can’t stand back all self-righteous and aghast and condemn them for doing what comes naturally. Either we change our laws to reflect reality, and I mean Right Now, or we might as well just put a razor wire fence clear around the U.S. and all of us wear orange jump suits with Federal Prisoner stenciled in black on the back, because we’re all going to end up in prison anyway if we don’t get a grip on ourselves.

We shoved Sexual Freedom down our kids throats. They took it and ran with it. What else did we expect?

Now. I know how to solve this. Reverse history. The reason this was never a problem before is because there were never so many people as there are now. The more of us there are crammed together the more aberrant, hostile and anti-social we become. Back in the 60’s someone did a study on rats, allowing their population to increase unchecked, in a limited amount of living space. The more they got jammed together, the more they acted like humans. Homosexuality and violence became commonplace.

The fix for the problem is to eliminate the excess population over 35,000 in every large city in the world, and reduce the population of every average city to no more than 5000. No community allowed of over 5000 people other than cities like Los Angeles, New Delhi and so forth. This is an achievable goal, and this is why:

Once every century, at the turn of each century, stories of apocalypse and prophets of Armageddon would be all the rage, and quickly pass as the century mark passed. 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, all had their religious nuts who would prophecy the collapse of humanity. But once the fateful date passed and nothing happened, it was forgotten for another century. Now it’s different.

Now, and since before the year 2000, the prophecies of doom, Armageddon, global disaster, have gone on and on. We see them nearly nightly on our TV, hear them on the radio, people are writing books left and right about the way they think we’re all going to die, by a comet strike, a cosmic ray or neutron pulse from a distant star, an ice age, nuclear war………

This is because we’re overpopulated and instinctually, we know that being so will doom us. Our population is growing unchecked. The planet is maxxing out on how many humans it can feed, the oceans are dying – they have been for years now, as Jacques Cousteau kept telling us back in the 1960s. If our ocean actually died, and all the organisms in it began decaying, the oxygen the process would consume would asphyxiate the planet. Everything would die. Everything. If we heat the planet up too much and melt all the ice, the actual dry land mass of the planet would be reduced by over a third, and that’s the part that most of us live on and grow our food on.

We have a death wish as a species. We know, down inside, that we can’t control our own numbers and that to live we have to die, by the billions, and pretty soon, too. The only way the human race can survive is for most of us to die. It’s also the only way for everything else on the planet to have a chance of survival, because if we don’t endure a massive extermiination of ourselves pretty soon, we’ll take the whole thing down with us.

This is why we’re going to do it. We just keep hoping an asteroid will do it for us first. We’d much rather have a big chunk of rock hit somewhere and plunge us into darkness for a year or two and kill most of us off that way, than have to do the job ourselves, which is why the asteroid doomsday scenario is so popular. We don’t want a nuclear war, we just want most of us to die, and this way we could blame it on God instead of us having to carry the shame for millennia of having poisoned the Earth with fallout. But nuke we will, when our population reaches critical mass, and it soon will.

The hottest prediction going is for Nov. 23, 2012, you’ve probably heard all about that one, how the Aztec calendar ends on that day because the world does, and there are other corroborating prophecies from such as Nostradamus and Mother Shipman, and Bible and other prophecies. Seems like as good a date as any to me, that’s nearly 5 years away from now and really, it’s a toss-up whether we make it that long or not.

A Little Respect?

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

The homosexual crowd is still pushing as hard as ever for “equal rights”, and what they actually mean by that is equal acceptance on a social level. It’s not as if they were held down by reason of their race, something that’s common to humanity virtually everywhere.

Homosexuals have been an abused minority not because of their skin color but because of their behavior, and that’s a whole different game. It is reasonable for normal people to be repelled by aberrant behavior.

People who wear clothing unusual to the norm, or go around naked or nearly so in a well-covered society, people who babble strange things or habitually laugh at inappropriate times, and so on, are repelled by their societies for their strangeness. Humans have a need to have a comfortable norm, to establish acceptable levels of behavior simply because we need to know what to reasonably expect from the people around us, and when some of us go off on a tangent, we push them away from the majority of us.

All societies have certain sexual mores as the most basic part of their foundations, and very few societies are accepting of homosexuality unless those societies are composed primarily of homosexuals, such as the Catholic Church or the city of San Francisco.

This is reasonable human behavior. Now we have homosexuals pressing to be included within the acceptable norm of our society, which is based on monagomous heterosexual relationships, and demanding that our institution of marriage and it’s attendant rights, duties and privileges be extended to them.

Long before religions tried to dominate and enforce the legalities and rituals of marriage, long before there were religions beyond the level of witch doctors, marriages between men and women were recognized and a ritual was performed to give recognition to the bond. The purpose then was the same as now, to tell the world that these two people were now paired and their children would be raised and protected by them.

Marriage was for the recognition of new families and for the protection of children. It still is. All societies today want to know the parentage of children, who is responsible for the birthing and fathering of the children, who is responsible for the caring of the children. Marriage establishes the parentage of children. Marriage is all about knowing who a child is and the protection of that child.

Homosexuals do not have children by their uniions, so through the legality of marriage according to our democratic laws, they would have the right to adopt children, which could then be raised, and certainly would be raised, to have the same aberrant sexual views as their adoptive parents. They want to raise children totally outside of a normal environment regardless of the harm that it would bring to children, to their mental stability as well as exposure to diseases such as AIDS.

Any normal person who has ever gone to a homosexual bar has seen enough to know that homosexual behavior isn’t something they want to engage in and certainly not something they want their children engaging in. Homosexuals see things differently and think differently. They have entirely different emotional reactions than normal people which seem both inappropriate and excessive. They over-react emotionally, often deliberately so, simply to outdo their homosexual friends. To most homosexuals, emotions are far more valid than logic and common sense and they act on their emotions accordingly.

Since they’re repressed from doing this in normal society, they end up living two lives, so to speak, which is extremely stressful for them. This is why the movement to come out of the closet arose and why they form their own communities, so they can act in ways that to them are normal but that repel and disgust the rest of us.

In spite of the revulsion of society toward them, we have responded democratically by enacting laws to protect them from assault and discrimination due to their “sexual orientation”, ie, their homosexuality. They asked for and were granted mutual respect within our communities and workplaces.

But that’s not enough. In their gushing emotional insanity they think that paired emotional and sexual bonds between them should be accepted by us just the same as if it were normal couples who were getting married and having children. They want their intrusion and takeover of heterosexual society to be complete, they want to take everything from us and give us back nothing. It doesn’t matter to them at all that our religions can’t and won’t recognize marriages between two men or two women because they can’t produce offspring. It doesn’t matter to them at all that they’re trying to crush the traditions of our society into the dirt. All that matters to them is their dithering emotional excesses. Oh I must have it, oh I must, oh I must.

This is about respect and if the homosexuals don’t have the good sense God gave most of us, to respect the traditions of others and not go where we don’t belong, then we have to respect our values and traditions ourselves and say NO to these men in lipstick and leotards and women in Levi’s and steel toed boots. A line has to be drawn and not crossed over and that line is the sanctity of marriage, for the sake of our children, our religions and our society.

‘Twas Brillig, And The Slithy Toves…

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

That’s the start of a poem called Jabberwocky, by Lewis Carroll, a rather long thing of non-words strung together with real ones, that evokes mental pictures in spite of actually making no sense at all. Reading it, you find yourself struggling to make a sensible story out of the nonsense.

That’s exactly what I find myself trying to do with the chaotic world of human affairs today. If ever it deserved to be called jabberwocky, now is the time.

When I was in my 20’s, a millionaire was an immensely rich person. Today we have multi-billionairs by the thousands. Homes that cost $5000 then, sell for $500,000 and more, now. Our money is Monopoly money, play money, and getting rapidly more so.

Today there was a “Call in homosexual” day, a work stoppage by homosexuals, to protest a California law banning marriage between homosexuals. It wasn’t so long ago that the idea of homosexuals getting married was absolutely ludicrous and shunned by all of us. Come on now, can you really imagine having the married couple next door to your own family over for dinner, Him and Him, or Her and Her? In front of your kids?

Islam has risen its ugly head once more in a renewed effort to conquer the world, the U.S. has suffered a massive blow at the hands of Muslims, and so we have elected a man of Islamic background as our next president, who tells us today that he’s going to be inaugurated using his middle name, Hussein, in order to set a new tone with “the Muslim world in particular.”

Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich of Illinois left his home through a back alley on Wednesday after being indicted for trying to sell Obamas Senate seat, among a vast array of other corrupt deeds, and instead of his fellow politicians lining up against this behavior, they’ve all been running in the opposite direction and claiming innocence. Which I sincerely doubt.

After bailing out the major banks, Congress is now working on bailing out the car industry. lining up behind them for billions in Monopoly money are the governors of various states, seeking funds to rebuild bridges and roads and so forth. Next we’ll have the hospitals, mining companies and importers, and soon a dollar will buy an entire walnut. Another dollar for a bag to put it in.

The nations of Europe are reeling under the massive population movements, out of former Soviet countries like Poland, the Balkans and out of the poverty-stricken African states, these latter being mostly Muslim. The resultant overpopulation, which is worsening within with unchecked childbirth and from without due to continuing immigration, is collapsing the economies of all the once-great nations of Europe. Greece right now is at a standstill from riots that supposedly were caused by the police shooting death of a teenage boy, but it’s really due to overpopulation and the poverty that comes from it.

I never saw such a mess. India and Pakistan are almost at war, while we launch covert missions into Pakistan to kill Islamist leaders. The economy of Russia is falling apart with the extremely precipitous drop in oil prices, because that’s almost their only export, and while China should be in hog heaven with the cheap energy once again, to produce cheap goods, their factories and stores are shutting down because the world is running out of money to buy their shoddily made crap, even though there’s more money in circulation now than there’s ever been in history of the world.

Automakers who went to Washington to plead for bailout money, arrived in private jets with retinues of servants. Islamic leaders make impossible demands even while their followers are being decimated. National leaders continue to push policies that obviously failed miserably, sometimes even horribly, years ago. Arable land that’s desparately needed to grow food on is paved over for housing construction. People in power continue to hang on to power regardless of the devastation that is caused around them by their actions.

It’s jabberwocky.

What I Did On My Mexico Vacation

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

This was my second trip to the tip of Baja, Calif., Mexico for fishing after a hiatus of almost 6 years, and things have changed.

The fishing wasn’t all that great the last time but my fishing buddy and I each brought back about 30 pounds of filets for our 3 days of effort. This time around we got less than half of that, and there were a lot less of us fishermen out on the water. The boat captains agree, the fishing is progressively getting worse.

Well, what can you expect? The area of ocean being fished is perhaps 20 miles long and 10 miles wide, and it’s been fished heavily for many years. So while this isn’t helping the Baja economy much, it’s not the real problem.

The general economic downturn is hitting the tourism industry of Mexico hard. The last time we went, our very large resort hotel was filled with fishermen. This time around we were the only fishermen staying there for 2 of our 3 days of fishing. That’s pretty dramatic. Worse yet, I never saw more than a dozen or so guests at any given time. The place was almost deserted and it was the same story at all the other resort hotels in San Juan Del Cabo. This tale is repeated all over Baja and in Mexico proper as the tourist industry has virtually collapsed.

Tourism is the major source of income for Baja California and for most of Mexico, and most of those tourists have always been Americans. The tremendous increase in crime in Mexico is directly related to the decrease in their income, coupled with the increasing return of illegals to their own country as jobs for them here dry up.

Now, the funny part of this is that the Mexican people blame us for their sudden return to poverty, because we’re no longer providing them with an easy income. In Baja, the service industry, waiters, cooks, etcetera, are, of all things, the elite income earners, the Upper Middle Class, entirely because of the generosity of Americans in leaving tips. They’re very resentful of our failure to continue to support them for doing almost nothing, and they show it. The second morning of my stay there I woke up dreaming that I was surrounded by humanoid vultures, all with their hands out. You can’t turn around without someone rushing up to help you with the slightest thing and looking at you resentfully if you decline the offer.

Another funny thing is the disparity between the way we accomodate them and the way they don’t accomodate us. All over the West coast states of America, you go in any store and the signs are all in English and Spanish. All over Mexico the signs are all in Spanish, including all the tourist sites that we frequent. Mexicans have a bad attitude toward the hands that feed them.

When we started making everyone entering the US, including Mexicans, fill out a customs form, their president got all pissy and said bluntly that if we were going to do that to them, they were going to do it to us, and they have, in spades. Entering Mexico, you fill out a virtual clone of our form, only with added and repeated sections that seem to have no purpose, and you’d better hang on to the bottom half because if you don’t have it on leaving, you have to fill out another one and pay a $50 fine. They treat us as if we were like them, filling their country with criminals and drugs and millions of illegal invaders and potential terrorists. Then they wonder why we don’t want to go there anymore after they take revenge on us for merely trying to protect our country from another major disaster.

On our departure from Mexico the Mexican customs put our luggage through an xray machine that was turned off and only the conveyor belt on it was running. At least our carry-ons were inspected by our airlines security people before we boarded. All in all, the Mexicans made both our entry and departure as much a pain in the ass as they could get away with, in stark contrast to our previous trip there. How stupid can you get when their whole economy depends on making us feel wanted and welcome?

The hotel, to save money in the face of decreasing guests, decided to shut off the air conditioning in the lobby/main dining room/bar. The temperature stayed around 95 degrees with the humidity at about the same percent. It was unbearable. The only cool place in this entire monster hotel was our room, in which we kept the air conditioning turned on. This place is a Best Western, yet they demanded an additional $4 a day to turn on the very tiny, cheap little refrigerator in the closet, which is insulting as Hell when you’re already paying $250 a day. This isn’t done in the US in any Best Western hotel. Ever.

Mexicans don’t seem to be able to see beyond themselves. Not one whom we talked to about their economy had the slightest understanding of the reasons for its collapse other than it was “Americas fault”, which it is not. They have only themselves to blame.

Mexico has lost me forever. My fishing partner as well. These people are simple, uneducated, greedy and without a trace of foresight. And worst of all from my point of view, they’re running out of fish.

It’s Heeeeeere….

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Excerpts from an article by Jon Nadler:

July 17, 2008 “Chaos and fear never sleep. This morning the first news story I read was a piece from the Los Angeles Daily News about police threatening to beat down and arrest any “disorderlies” trying to get their money out of a failed IndyMac bank branch in Pasadena, CA. Apparently, after being turned away Monday, customers began lining up at 1:30 a.m. the next morning to take out any cash they had in excess of the $100,000 maximum insured by the FDIC. The scene was reportedly emotional and tense. At another IndyMac branch in Encino, the police were called in after line jumpers threatened to turn an ordinary bank run into a full-on riot.

Yes, it’s here. Welcome to the Depression. No, don’t drop whatever it is you’re doing. Don’t get up. It’s not going anywhere. It will wait. It’s just going to sit over here in the corner and read a magazine while you do whatever it is you need to do.

Despite the seeming enormity of it in retrospect, the stock market crash of 1929 barely even registered for most Americans. The day before the crash, Time Magazine’s Oct. 28, 1929 issue was business as usual; national stories, Washington stories, a review of the newest plays opening in Manhattan, a piece on a cat washing contest in Kingston, NC.

A week later, in the wake of the stock plunge, the cover story was as far from a piece on crashing share prices as you could get – a profile of a man named Samuel Insull, the “financial father of the Chicago opera.”

It took a little more than two full years, Dec. 11, 1931, before the New York Bank of the United States would collapse, and the cover of Time was reserved for Dr. James Henry Breasted, “foremost Egyptologist of the U. S.”

On January 22, 1932 things turned desperate. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation was formed to dole out government aid to banks, railroads, farm mortgage associations and all manner of failed business enterprises. Time’s cover story for this day was on playwright Philip Barry’s 11th play, “The Animal Kingdom.”

By the end of the following year, 1933, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had squeezed the Emergency Banking Act through Congress, signed the Economy Act, the Credit Act, the Reforestation Relief Act, the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the Farm Act, the Federal Securities Act, the National Cooperative Employment Service Act, the Home Owner’s Loan Act, the Glass-Steagall Act, the National Industrial Recovery Act, the Emergency Railroad Transportation Act, created the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Civil Works Administration.”

This time around, there’s no sudden stock market collapse and instead of wild inflation such as we’ve been seeing, the value of a dollar actually increased, simply because no one had any. Now, it’s about oil, overpopulation and inflation, outsourcing and moving our jobs and factories overseas. Unemployment, just as in the Great Depression, is causing massive mortgage failures nationally, which is forcing the closure of our two largest banking and lending institutions.

 Now we have an oil-based global economy instead of a dollar-based national one, and the rising demand for oil can only drive down the comparative value of the dollar. So far, our answer to that has been to print more dollars, making each one worth less than before.

Everything cycles, and prosperity will eventually come again. Right now, however, our economy is about to take an even bigger hit than it has already, as prices continue to soar at the same time that wages remain static and joblessness increases.

A depression isn’t a possibility, or pending, or will happen soon if we don’t act. It’s here.

Bits and Pieces

Friday, May 9th, 2008

“They’re rioting in Africa, they’re starving in Spain, there’s hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain.” A snippet out of a Kingston Trio song, true then, true now. A typhoon has killed off at least 100,000 of us according to the latest estimates. It wasn’t all that long ago that one that hit Bangladesh took the lives of over 200,000. The world paid little attention to the losses among that mass of teeming, terribly impoverished humanity then and is paying almost the same attention to this one. The numbers are too big and it’s too far away. We don’t want to think about it.

What we do notice, however, is a breakout in fighting in Lebanon and what that may mean to the price of oil. Of course, we also notice the price of oil. We notice it a lot, actually, and many of us are pretty scared about it because our wages aren’t keeping pace and the cost of oil is driving up the cost of literally everything else except our rent. And that’s coming, we know it is.

We pay closer attention to an Arab of African and American parents who is trying to take up the power seat of the worlds most powerful nation, than we pay to the deaths of 100,000 humans in one awful storm. We don’t pay any attention at all to this mans racist minister, this mans racist wife, this mans underworld and terrorist friends. We pay no attention at all to this mans stream of lies. That he’s an inveterate liar and storyteller matters much less than that he can orate well. Because he can, many people say they admire his “wisdom”.

What I admire is the incredible stupidity of my fellow man. I admire the shallowness of us. I deeply admire our false caring, our utter and total incapacity to admit being wrong or in error. I wallow in the luxurious ecstasy of pain suffered by those who are forced to actually apologize. I shudder with violent paroxysms of glee as we rise with one voice in our denial of any possibility outside of our own narrow, cretinously opinionated view.

But most of all, I adore, yes, adore, how really marvellously stupid we are. We who are so very clever at making gadgets, we are the master toolmakers. After millions of years of evolving, we have finally outdone the web spider in creativity while we still have the same mindset as the spider. We don’t care what we kill as long as we eat for another day.

Henry David Thoreau once remarked that if you read a newspaper once, you never needed to read another because the news never changed. The very few of you who stop in and read my rants will have noticed that my rants are coming fewer and farther between. I think it’s because I’ve said all I can say on the subjects I chose as the blog’s mainstay. If another war starts, all it is, is just another war.

Right now, you know, I’m just worn out on stupidity. I don’t say things here that stupid humanity is at all interested in reading. You can have your blog popularity contests and that’s fine, I just wanted to reach people, which is proof of my own stupidity.

Free Speech In France? Not If You’re French.

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

PARIS (Reuters) – French former film star Brigitte Bardot went on trial on Tuesday for insulting Muslims, the fifth time she has faced the charge of “inciting racial hatred” over her controversial remarks about Islam and its followers.

Prosecutors asked that the Paris court hand the 73-year-old former sex symbol a two-month suspended prison sentence and fine her 15,000 euros ($23,760) for saying the Muslim community was “destroying our country and imposing its acts”.

Since retiring from the film industry in the 1970s, Bardot has become a prominent animal rights activist but she has also courted controversy by denouncing Muslim traditions and immigration from predominantly Muslim countries.

She has been fined four times for inciting racial hatred since 1997, at first 1,500 euros and most recently 5,000.

“I am fed up with being under the thumb of this population which is destroying us, destroying our country and imposing its acts,” the star of ‘And God created woman’ and ‘Contempt’ said.

She’s absolutely correct. The woman should be considered a hero, but instead she’s being prosecuted for saying what she thinks instead of kissing muslim ass like the simpering appeasers in her government. Every time I think the French are finally growing some hair, they prove me wrong. “Inciting racial hatred”. Since when did a fascist creed become a race? Muslims are white, black and all colors in between.

The muslims in France, meanwhile, can riot and loot and burn cars literally by the 1000’s, and be called “angry youths”. Their preachers can exhort them to kill every non-muslim they can find, and demand that the government of France give muslims special treatment that ordinary French citizens don’t get, and the French murmur apologies and meekly comply. But be prosecuted for tromping all over the laws and rights of French ciitizens? No. The government of France is such a cadre of cowards that instead they go after a 73-year-old faded movie star who has more courage than all those politicians put together, to show their muslim bullies that they’re being dutifully compliant.

For Sale: French Military Rifle. Never Fired. Dropped Once.

Is A Food Riot Coming To YOUR Neighborhood?

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

About 20,000 workers rioted over high food prices and low wages on Saturday close to the Bangladesh capital Dhaka, police said, amid spreading global unrest over soaring grocery costs.

Food riots seem to be happening around the world on a near-daily basis lately. U.N. peacekeepers fired rubber bullets and tear gas at an angry mob that tried to storm the National Palace in the Hatian capital, Port-au-Prince today. Riots began in Haiti last Wednesday and five people have already been killed in the violence.

Food Riots in Egypt

The UN secretary general has warned that millions of people are at risk of starvation as global food stocks have fallen to their lowest levels for decades. The most acute effects have been seen in Egypt, where thousands of people have resorted to violence due to the unavailability of basic food products such as bread, rice, sugar and cooking oil, and rising food prices. At least 10 people have died over the past two weeks, in riots that erupted at government subsidised bakeries.

Besides Haiti and Egypt, there’s been food riots in 8 African nations, mostly along the western coast, as well as in Mexico, Milan, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Yemen, and the food shortage is just beginning. The poorer nations suffer starvation first and so the riots also start there first, but the food shortage is steadily becoming more widespread.

I’ve posted on this before and I’ll be posting on it again before it’s all done. The world is heading into global famine, and with famine comes war, disease and death. Those of you who live in affluent countries, thank your lucky stars but keep your powder dry, because if this situation isn’t reversed soon, global famine alone is enough to spark a global war. Starvation and plagues go together. Always have and this time will be no different.

Now is a good time to kill off those mice and rats that you’ve been putting off doing. Fleas…..

Well, They Are Famous For Their Terrible Cuisine

Chinese thugs in London
Blue-suited Chinese thugs in downtown London.

Well, They Are Famous For Their Terrible Cuisine so it should come as no surprise that the UK is serving up a lot of Fresh Hot Crow to their oppressed citizens. The latest meal is the presence of 30 Chinese paramilitary elite thugs who made sure no one got near the Olympic torch as it was carried through London, and they did so by brutally attacking anyone who came too close.

This obscene degrading of British national sovereignty was apparently set up by Scotland Yard, with the Chinese thugs having been allowed into the UK under “tourist” visas.

Kudos to the British people though: The Daily Telegraph has learnt that organisers, including Chinese officials, discussed “pulling out” of the day-long relay after just a few hours, as police fought running battles with wave after wave of anti-China protesters.

Kevin Rudd, the Australian Prime Minister, warned Beijing yesterday that he would not allow the Chinese thugs to guard the Olympic torch when it is carried through Canberra this month. He said that their behavior would not be repeated in his capital.

“All security, repeat all security, is provided by Australians,” he told The Times during a visit to London. The Olympic torch is due to be carried through Canberra on April 24 and is likely to attract anti-Chinese demonstrations similar to those seen in London, Paris and this morning in San Francisco.

The beginning of the relay in San Francisco is hours away as I write this, and I can find no mention of the possible participation of the Chinese thugs. There will be a two-and-a-half-hour relay along this city’s waterfront, involving six miles of pavement, 79 runners and untold scores of law enforcement officials.

Major protests by those upset with China’s human rights record and recent crackdown in Tibet are expected and even supported by the city’s Board of Supervisors, which voted on April 1 to condemn China’s human rights record. Chris Daly, the supervisor who wrote the resolution, went further on Monday, posting a blog entry calling on followers to “build on the message that’s been delivered” in Paris and London. That’s pretty straightforward and has upset the Chinese no end.

The San Francisco Police Department canceled days off for patrol officers and called in state and federal agencies and officers from nearby cities to help patrol the relay route. A no-fly zone was established overhead, the Coast Guard beefed up its fleet and Bay Area police planned on a pair of motorized water scooters patrolling the waterways. It’s going to look like a war zone instead of the celebration it’s always been before.

“I can only confirm that the route is dynamic,” said Nathan Ballard, a city spokesman. “We got monks tomorrow, Desmond Tutu and Richard Gere here today, and a nude torch relay in the works,” he said, “And I have no hope of leaving here without tripping over hundreds of members of the foreign media. I’ll tell you one thing: it won’t be boring.”

Yep. A nude torch relay. Only in San Francisco would you expect to see some of the torch bearers running NAKED! Wah hah hah, I wonder how China will like that?

Well, unlike England, San Francisco is famous for its fine cuisine. It’s going to be fascinating as all Hell to watch what they dish up today.

So What? Who Cares?

Friday, March 21st, 2008

For about a week now the Main Stream Media has had a spotlight on Sen. Barack Obama and his response to the outrageous statements of his pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Yet while the media is making a big to-do over his saying things like “The United States is a country founded on bigotry” and that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were the nation’s “chickens coming home to roost” and that we deserved to be attacked, the American public doesn’t seem to be interested in hearing about it.

Radio talk shows don’t drum up much response on the subject and get more call-ins on topics such as the 5-year Iraq war anniversary or the Bear-Stearns bailout. People simply don’t care that Barack Obama frequented a church for 20 years and was (and is) a very close friend of a pastor who preaches the same Islamic Fundamentalist hatred as Osama Bin Laden and all the other terrorists who keep saying that the attack in New York and the deaths of nearly 3000 innocent people was all our own fault.

People don’t seem to care that Obama follows a preacher who says white people are the enemies of black people, that Jesus is black, that merging Marxism with Christian Gospel may show the way to a better tomorrow, that the white church in America is the antichrist because it supported slavery and segregation.

People don’t care that Obama has been taught to believe in an extremely racist “black value system”, that he has been taught for 20 years to be loyal “first to being black and the black value system, second to Africa and last of all to America”.

People don’t care that Barack Hussein Obama has for 20 years been taught by and has maintained a close relationship with a man who preaches hatred of Jews exactly like any muslim, or that this “Rev.” Wright in fact was formerly a muslim, as was Barack Hussein Obama. People don’t care that one still preaches Islam in disguise and the other, the one who wants to become our next president, has been his student for 20 years.

Baa, people. Baa. The wolf is circling.

Another Outsourcing President? No Thanks.

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Senator John McCain is behind the giveaway of a $40 billion U.S. Air Force tanker contract to a joint venture of Boeing rivals, Northrop Grumman and Airbus. This is European Aeronautic, Defense & Space Co., the parent of Airbus and based in France, and Northrop Grumman, based in Los Angeles.

Boeing now will miss out on a deal that it says would have supported 44,000 new and existing jobs at the company and suppliers in 40 states.

“I hope the voters of this state remember what John McCain has done to them and their jobs,” said Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., whose state would have been home to the tanker program and gained about 9,000 jobs. “Having made sure that Iraq gets new schools, roads, bridges and dams that we deny America, now we are making sure that France gets the jobs that Americans used to have,” said Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill. “We are sending the jobs overseas, all because John McCain demanded it.”

Angry Boeing supporters are vowing revenge against Republican presidential candidate John McCain, as should every unemployed worker in the U.S. for this stupid move on McCains part. He claims that he’s saved us taxpayers some billions of dollars by doing this when in fact he’s doing exactly what Bush has done and is supporting multinational corporations at American expense. He very likely is being heavily rewarded for this perfidy that is actually taking billions of dollars away from American workers.

This is exactly why our economy is falling apart, because of the greed, corruption and cupidity of those we entrusted to keep our nation strong and safe. If McCain were a Democrat, the Republican party would be accusing him of treason for this.

McCain is also known for frequently losing control of his temper. This alone is a terrible trait in a president. I really don’t like this guy, he’s dangerous, way too old for the job and mentally unstable. As much as I dislike religious fanatics, Huckabee would have been a lot better, which is probably why he lost out to McCain. Sheep vote for the one they’re told to by the Great Cyclops.

I’m off to my cabin for 10 days or so, during which time I fully expect visits here to drop to zero. Good thing it’s a new blog. See you when I get back.

63,000 Jobs Lost In One Month

Friday, March 7th, 2008

U.S. workers “unexpectedly” lost 63,000 jobs in February. For the 63,000 workers that must have been unexpected, alright. Last month, January, 22,000 jobs were lost plus the jobless rate actually dropped to 4.8% at the same time as many people gave up looking for work because of the shrinking labor market.

The way this is figured is that even though people are finding jobs, so many jobs were lost at the same time that the net loss is 63,000 for the month. Couple that with the crashing housing construction market, the mortgage industry collapse, the loss of much of our manufacturing to China, the dramatic rise in oil prices that keep pushing the value of the dollar lower and lower, the inflationary trend because of that as all prices continue to increase, and it’s obvious that we’re plunging into a recession that may well turn into a depression.

“All the lights are flashing red,” said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at Global Insight Inc. in Lexington, Massachusetts, in an interview with Bloomberg Television. “We’re in a recession. I don’t think there is any doubt about it at this point.”

The fickle finger of blame can be pointed at government incompetency, and it would be correct. However, the American public has to bear the burden as well. We flocked to Wal-Mart and every other store that offered us goods made in China at cheaper prices than we could produce them for, here, knowing that our industries were shutting down because of our stinginess, our perfidy.

Now all that money we saved had better be in the bank, because we’re going to need every dime of it in the days ahead. Nice work, all you sheep. You’re not that stupid, you saw this coming, you know you did. You just chose to go baa and keep on eating the grass.

Singing, Drinking and Voting

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Today’s a better day, neckwise. The strain pain is gone so now I’ll try to make up for yesterdays lack of scintillating repartee.

Found an article this morning about an Irish bar owner who declared March a “No Danny Boy” month, being sick and tired of drunk patrons singing this dirge-like lament, which reminded me of some of my own past mischief. A friend and I frequented a German-style bar where the band would play faster and faster as the night wore on, thereby inducing their customers to drink faster and faster. So this one evening we carefully chose a small table in the back, in the shadows and behind a pillar, and after things were rolling rapidly along, they began taking requests, which they always did after the crowd was half-looped.

So I sidled up and requested “Danny Boy” and quickly slipped back to our hidden table. Since the poor fool had uttered the name into his microphone, he was stuck with it. He tried to find the dirty rat who’d requested it, and coerce said rat into having to sing it, but I was well hidden. So the band played it and sang it, the drinking in the place virtually halted as everyone stared deeply into their beer mugs and it took them a good half-hour to get things going again even close to what it was before.

Years later I’m still laughing.

Florida and Michigan are in the deep fat now over the silencing of 5,163,271 American votes in their primaries, because their Dem. parties violated the rules by holding their caucuses too early. The real question here is can the National Dem. Committee deny voting rights to over 5 million U.S. citizens? Politics aside, this action seems basically unconstitutional and the governors of both states jointly stated “It is intolerable that the national political parties have denied the citizens of Michigan and Florida their votes and voices at their respective national conventions”.

If my vote had been rendered worthless by some over-penalizing party bureaucrats, I’d want them to pay for my time and the gasoline it took. Multiply that by 5 million. By nullifying all those votes, they went too far in their idea of enforcing party rules. They forgot about all those who voted.

Since the McCain issue is settled, now it’s all about Clinton vs. Obama and the latter is showing his whiny side, crying over her “kitchen-sink strategy” in winning three of the four states primaries that were just held. Ummm, I think it’s called “politics”. Obama is a great speaker, full of lofty rhetoric that pours out of him apparently without effort, but every time he’s asked a hard question he equivocates. His experience really is lacking, he’s a junior senator who has done almost nothing during his short time in Congress, and there’s still the matter of that Blacks-only church of his.

Here’s some info about him and his church: Obama said “We were always playing on the white man’s court — by the white man’s rules. If the principal, or the coach, or a teacher wanted to spit in your face, he could, because he had the power and you didn’t. The only thing you could choose was withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage.”
Obama’s once described the white race as “that ghostly figure that haunted black dreams.”
“That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, blaming “white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”

In 1983, during college, Obama disapproved of what he called other “half-breeds” who gravitated toward whites instead of blacks. And yet after college, he once fell in love with a white woman, only to push her away when he concluded he would have to assimilate into her world, not the other way around. He later married a black woman.

According to this site, Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side. He is 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father’s side. Why does his father have an Arabic name? Why does every ancestor on his father’s side have an Arabic name?” The answer is obvious: They have Arabic names because his father’s side of the family tree is Arabic. Hussein Obama isn’t black, he’s half Arab, which explains why all the Arab and all the Islamic organizations including Louis Farrakhan support him. Yet he claims to be black. He’s not.

He’s coming across more and more as a very thin-skinned guy, while with Clinton I sense a certain amount of desparation. Both of them are under tremendous pressure, and one of them may end up doing a Dean Scream yet that will decide which one gets their parties nomination. It’s fascinating to watch, anyway, while they pant and suffer.

Something I’ve never understood is why anyone would want that job so passionately. Bush, with Big Oil behind him, now that makes sense. But just because they want to be King of the Mountain? Mitt Romney spent a chunk of his personal fortune, millions, on a losing campaign and Clinton has tossed in $5 million of hers.

Usually, by the time your term ends, everyone hates you anyway. I just don’t get it.

The Reality Of Russia’s Election

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

Democracy is for those who are willing to take it, and this has been proven once again, this time by the Russians. Dmitry Medvedev is the overwhelming favorite to succeed Vladimir Putin in the election in which opposition parties and independent vote monitors have complained of widespread electoral violations.

Well, of course he is. The state-owned media has focused entirely on him, promoted him endlessly and he’s spent nothing on campaigning. He won’t enter into debates either, saying that there’s no point of debating with people “who have no chance of winning power.” He should know. The elections are rigged in his favor from one end of Russia to the other.

Putin, the supposedly outgoing Russian president, will be Russias prime minister and share power with Medvedev. This arrangement will be a first in Russian government. Voting in Russia is now only for show, just as it was during Stalins reign, and Russia has once again evolved into a new form of government. From the Czars, after the Roman ceasars, through revolution and communism, the collapse of communism, a feint at democracy and now back to dictatorship.

Even though the Union has fallen apart, and former slave nations have again asserted their independence, the regime in Russia refuses to recognize it and is trying to force them to rejoin Russia as slave states again.

In Putins favor, he’s put Russia back on its economic feet again, though he’s done this at the expense of everyone doing business with Russia. It doesn’t pay to be dependent on Russia for anything these days as those nations can expect more extortion for fuel and energy needs just as in the past, along with repeated military threats and aggression. Russia the Bear will always be a bear, looking to eat up the unwary, and it’s people will always be the property of “the state”, which means whoever is in power at the time.

The people accept this as the norm. Times in Russia have always been tough and the leadership has seldom made much difference in the well-being of its people. Putin has actually made things better for them and they’re loathe to see that change. Who could blame them? It’s different in Western democracies where we’ve come to expect a high standard of living.

Russia’s regime is harshly nationalist, which is exactly why they’re so successful lately. All the “Multiculturalist” and “open border” nations, such as the United States and most of the European nations, are decaying and falling behind. The world isn’t ready yet for a one-world government and may never be. There are simply too many ethnic, cultural, religious and language barriers and differences between us all that cause huge frictions between different populations when we become too mixed in with each other.

The United States would do well to follow the Russians example in terms of nationalism. We need to take a similar hard line with China, the Saudis and OPEC, and other Mid-East nations such as Iran. America First has become America Last, and if we don’t reverse this, we won’t last.

And I’m Thankful They’re There Instead Of Here

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

“Gaza Hamas leader thanks God for his son’s death in Israeli air strike.”

Hamas leader Khalil al-Haya fondly kissed the bloodied head of his slain militant son in a Gaza morgue Thursday, saying he was proud that his son had given his life for the Hamas cause and joined a long line of family members killed in the conflict with Israel.

Hamza, one of the firebrand lawmaker’s four sons, died in an Israeli air strike Thursday morning as he led a squad firing rockets from the territory into nearby Israel, Hamas said. The airstrike was one of a series during the day, after a Hamas rocket fired Wednesday killed a man in southern Israel.

“I thank God for this gift,” Khalil al-Haya said. “This is the 10th member of my family to receive the honor of martyrdom.”

Yeah, well, at that rate there can’t be too many left to be “honored”, hmmm?

“Such sentiments are often expressed by the families of Islamic militants who blow themselves up in suicide attacks or are killed in fighting with Israel, reflecting their belief that those who die for their faith and their convictions will be richly rewarded in the afterlife.”

The “rich reward” is for men only in the deeply sexist religion of Islam. If the men die fighting for Allah, (the name of their god) they’re told they’ll go to a paradise where they get 72 young virgins and 27 pretty boys to enjoy for eternity.

Reading his words, I come away with a strong impression that the primary goal is not to defeat Israel, but to die in the attempt. No wonder they just keep on coming. This proves that even wolves can behave like sheep.

Fat Sheep Get Slaughtered First

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

“Ever since September 11, we’ve been lurching from one crisis to the next, which has really frightened the public,” “While we’ve been focusing so much attention on that, we’ve had this silent epidemic of obesity that’s killing millions of people around the world, and we’re devoting very little attention to it and a negligible amount of money.”

Yep. Obesity is way more dangerous than terrorism, but take heart. Only certain people tend toward bloating themselves with too much food and their claim is that it’s not gluttony, it’s genetic and they just can’t help themselves. So why take heart? Well, because there’s a certain thing called the Darwin Principle, which is that certain types that are less suited to survive, weed themselves out of the gene pool.

The fat sheep die first from all kinds of diseases and physical problems. Fatties are also less sexually desirable, and so have less children than moderate people. Extinction bound.

Yep. All you fatties out there are like terrorists except the only one being blown up is you. Some lovely day, with the warm sun in your face, just when you’re having the most fun and feel like you could live forever, BLOOEY! There goes the old heart. Bummer, huh?
