Who Is The Real Despot?

At some point one has to get honest and look at the facts of history, of modern events, of the polemics presented not merely for the consumption of the 'outside' world stage and for the mass consumption and promulgation of the lazy and complicit western media for their indoctrinated idiots worldwide - but also those much sharper tirades aimed at the adherents they hold as slaves to their control as well.

Israel, a tiny democratic republic fragment on the coast of a huge despotic quasi empire that has taken the riches of their resources for a privileged few while leaving their people in abject poverty and ignorance under the veil of a grand caliphate that somehow honors their version of a god that they can use to retain their utter control of their masses with.

We don't insist on their destruction of Arabs, Palestinians, Persians, Pakistanis, Islamists of any stripe or the rest of the masses arrayed against the rest of the world. If anything, we hope for their elevation into educated and aware individuals who can see past the constructs of those that oppress and enslave them by blaming their poverty on others as they themselves live well beyond any western concept of wealth and riches and certainly beyond any concept of sharing the wealth so popular with the left.

In the meanwhile, peaceful coexistence is not in their vocabulary. Rather, they insist on the destruction of the Jews and (for now at least) the subjugation of the non-believing masses under their utopian dream of a world wide Caliphate. Intellectually compromised and blinded, indoctrinated idiots in the west will miss this a lifetime while they spout platitudes and quote studies of predetermined results performed by likewise intellectually and emotionally biased charlatans that clock themselves as "academicians".

Hopefully there are enough "undereducated" or just plain intelligent and honest informed observers and students of history to stand against the tide of bovine leavings that pass for their intellectual product as they incestuously quote each other, offering their product as food rather than the end product of it's consumption that it is.

At some point an individual needs to either stand on and for - their honor, their principles and what is morally right. Of course those with none of the above will have no such constraint and travel with the herd into the slaughter shed - mooing loudly and self contentedly all the way.

“First, I am really thankful that our troops executed the mission without any injury. I am personally very, very happy that we have finally taken out this sick animal and sent him to his just recompense. We have cause for joy and should savor this moment.

Tonight, I headed over to the WTC site for a bit. It was still a small (for NYC) but full throated celebration with me joining in on the Pledge of Allegiance and The Star Spangled Banner. But my quiet sense of satisfaction and homage at the day’s news didn’t match up well with the exuberance of the crowd.

We have won a victory that is more the winning of a battle of undetermined value than winning the war. It is my sense of things that we must be careful against allowing our joy to transform into smugness. That was the mistake we made following the WTC attack on February 26, 1993 which helped pave the way for 9/11.

The war continues and will continue until the motivation to subjugate others by force to a global Caliphate fades away to the point of becoming a gnat on an elephant’s rump .

Come the morning we will still have work to do and battles to fight and win.”

Pakistani Treachery and Bin Laden's Demise

Pakistan's Prime Minister Gilani is almost utterly correct when he attempts to deflect the glaring fact of his country's complicity when he characterized the intelligence failure as being that of the whole world. No one knew until recently that top Pakistani active and retired military were keeping Bin Laden safe under their wing. As for his own 'plausible deniability' position that may sell in Islamabad or to the ears that wish to hear that kind of tripe. But that dog won't hunt. As for Pakistan's transparent duplicity, on this and how much more we aren't hearing about ... yet, they now stand naked before the world.

It is precisely for that reason that the United States had to take unilateral action. Informing the Pakistani authorities would have resulted in Bin Laden's hasty departure.

As for whether or not he was in fact armed at the moment he was shot it is a moot issue. Once he was told to freeze if he made any motion suggesting non-compliance it was a reasonable assumption that someone who has used suicide bombers, and airplanes would not hesitate to seek to kill the force that sought his capture. Unlike his mislead zealot adherents, Americans do not seek to die for the cause, but are culturally imbued and militarily trained to arrange for the enemies to die for theirs.

Obama's sound decisions - the burial at sea and to withhold the photographs - have presented me the unique experience of finding myself supporting his actions. The many victims worldwide of Bin Laden's bombs and airplanes were denied any kind of proper burial. Explosions, plane crashes and building collapses tend to destroy the possibility any such consideration. He was in fact given much more. He received a proper Muslim funeral with all it's considerations and ceremonies.

His burial at sea was just. As with the withholding of the photographs, it denies his supporters and disciples the shrine they undoubtedly crave just as the families of those he murdered were denied that rest to their souls.

Karma is indeed ... a bitch.

If the reaction of many liberals to yesterday's tragic events in Tuscon wasn't so transparently, knee-jerk stupid it might be amusing. Instead it is a sickening display of emotional immaturity and intellectual dishonesty.

Rather than joining with all people of good will no matter what their political views in repulsion and contempt for the actions of what was apparently a deeply disturbed and sick young man, the rush to place blame politically is it's own mini tsunami of mental and emotional imbalance.

When a child interprets events through the prism of their emotions alone while discounting the emotional reactions of others is understandable and in the words of such progressives it's, "a teachable moment." When adults respond as that child, then a pathology is in play and rather than it being cause for that "teachable moment" it is better addressed by mental health professionals in hopes that therapy might offset their disorder.

A review of the NYT article, "In Attack’s Wake, Political Repercussions" and the comments following the targets for blame have been all their opponents. The Tea Party, Sarah Palin, Republicans, Glenn Beck, Fox News, gun control laws, the State of Arizona, and all sorts of boogeymen that the left hates.

Somehow it is irrelevant, or at least inconvenient and thereby in need of spin, that the shooter was found to have copies of both the "Communist Manifesto" and "Mein Kamph" both socialist and both not only the antithesis of the Tea Party agenda but much closer to their own philosophies of state control.

Ignoring the truth that socialists have no such problem with guns, [Mao, one of their own, noted it was his view that, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."] they equate gun control with peace and safety. It is a false comfort?

New York City has some of the most stringent gun control laws in the country. What has been the result? Criminals and crazies have no problem getting guns since they could care less about the law.

Is anyone really safer for it? While in recent years gun involved deaths have gone down (2007 496 murders, 397 by gun - 2008 523 murders, 292 by gun) murder by knives, bludgeoning and other means has actually increased. So then is it really safer to be slashed or stabbed to death than shot? Apparently not. It's just quieter up in the ivory towers of denial.

Uh, Hello? TSA, This is For You.

To listen to the “Progressives” and their putative head honcho , George ‘Only Kidding I'm Not Really A Schwartz’ Soros, the great fault is that Obama has failed to properly sell their agenda. From ObamaCare to Arizona to… well… the TSA, they have a point.

I know, I know ... I never thought I would find myself in agreement with them on anything, BUT I have followed The Huffington Post as their front man suggested and find that is the chief complaint registered by the commu, I mean the Progressives. I find myself saying, they have a legitimate complaint and it requires our attention.

Obama has not done a proper job of marketing their concepts and desires under a proper veil of hyperbolic misdirection that Americans have been used to. Granted, his election run-up handlers worked the meaningless, “Change You Can Believe In” brand very effectively going into the 2008 election. The inauguration was a smashing multicultural tear fest born of the joy that we, as Americans, had come so far as to elect a BLACK POTUS. It was, on a gut level, truly AWESOME!

Then came the ruling part. Given overwhelming majorities in both houses of Congress there was no longer a need to market the product. The semi-somnolent populace had repudiated the excesses of the Bush II era and wanted change. Power was secured and assured.

Then came the administration's ill considered continuation of the concept of Moral Hazzard, ‘Too Big To Fail’ and the tossing aside of the normal bankruptcy law and process and the displacement of the proper place of bond holders in favor of the unions. It didn’t matter what other lesser, unaffiliated pension plans would suffer, the United Auto Workers were secured and, more accurately, strengthened. 'Taxpayers be damned, just pay a portion of the AFL-CIO bill we owe. We are in power.', was the clear message. Off-putting on it's face but worse was to come.

Next came the ObamaCare legislation. Opposed by well over half to two-thirds (it depends on which poll you favor) of the population and utter disbelief of the promises issued by “The One” regarding the cost savings, the lack of “Death Panels”, the ability to, “keep your doctor”, and the statements of House Speaker Pelosi such as, “We have to pass the bill so that you can see what is in it.”.

Clearly a marketing failure since the outright lies, I mean presentations, were on their face; ridiculous, dismissable and clearly unsustainable. We all know, that in these 'green is all the rage screw the real science.' days, the key selling point is use of the word, “sustainable” it's the pablum for everything adding weight to the presentations for weak, if present at all, minds. Damn poor marketing job there 'O'!

The commu, I mean the Progressives, [damn, I just can't get my vocabulary up to date, can I?] are properly angered that the mid-term elections have been a strong repudiation of their aspirations. Were I them, I would be too! A poor marketing job by the arrogant,elitists! When seeking to undermine a constitutional republic and it's Constitution, it is clearly not the way to go. Silly egoists, naked power grabs must be properly obscured by the raiment of Patriotic sounding marketing lest the King be shown to naked, flabby, weak and despicable. How dare these elitists be so … so ... so nakedly elitist!

Now we come to the autumn of our people's (widely felt) discontent. The TSA has decreed that every single airline passenger be either stripped naked by a scan with dubious levels of radiation despite the established fact that sonar devices used elsewhere are as effective and less intrusive into archives they can’t possibly store, but will nonetheless be readily provided to a federal prosecutor should there be an putatively actionable impropriety, (hat tip to Mr. Chertoff’s profiteering) or fondled by a mass of Federally authorized, just above minimum wage earners ($10.91 an hour? Seriously?), whose morals and proclivities are beyond reproach because the government - which, since they rule and don't have to actually manage a damn thing effectively and typically can’t manage breaking through a wet paper bag - says so, can grope men, women and children – admittedly as young as thirteen but proven younger than that. Remember 13, would you be cool with having your budding breast, or often embarrassing unpredictable genitals be groped? Not to worry. This is in service to the collective I mean society’s security.

Security - more truthfully the illusion of it as it has been propagated since 9/11 - is all about showmanship and has little to do with actual security but everything to do with the stripping away the freedoms we once took for granted. In reality this illusion operates as though we should be convinced that the plotters that demand America’s utter destruction and the death of our citizens aren’t listening and watching while they chuckle and devise new non metallic, body cavity insertable, scan proof devices and celebrate the "death by a thousand cuts" tactic they are employing as we spend billions of dollars on useless preventative measures.

I find my overall sensibilities place me on a more Libertarian than either liberal or conservative footing. So being a huge fan of individual liberty and a realist in that certainly we cannot, or at least should not, surrender complete freedom I suggest the following:

1. Every single passenger arrive at the airport four hours before their flight (bring a picnic lunch) and present themselves for TSA review.
2. That each checkpoint be manned by only stunningly attractive individuals. Keep the obviously unattractive on standby for the odd taste.
3. Allow each passenger the option of which TSA operative can grope them without sexual discrimination. Hetero males would certainly not object to a firm ‘Freedom Pat’ from a hottie female and their wives could – perhaps in retaliation – select the buff, stunning male hard body that their husbands aren’t in the realm of ,"'Fair Play’ you friggin’ jerk!" Or perhaps the males would select a harsh male (against their natural choice) to prove their fidelity (and avoid the unfortunate harsh aftermath of their indiscretion) either way it takes the mind off the intrusive invasion of one’s ultimate privacy itself.
4. Rather than the TSA assigning males to grab young boy’s private parts, mother’s could select a female out of an affinity for materialism and their awareness of the obvious statistic that most pedophiles are male.

You can readily see where ridiculous subjugation of the masses is easily accomplished by the application of the propaganda of behavioral modification in the place of brute force.

Now when Al Quaeda comes up with it’s low cost, loser employed anus bomb we can be ready. Body cavity searches? See above for the sure fire marketing approach. Sonograms? Same as above but add the bonus benefit of a free sonogram available to that doctor you got to keep and we will have kept the terrorists from winning!

If only The Obamessiah had Hillary's balls to regally sell it!

From Inside The Global Warming Debate - A Man Of Integrity

Sent: Friday, 08 October 2010 17:19 Hal Lewis

From: Hal Lewis, University of California, Santa Barbara
To: Curtis G. Callan, Jr., Princeton University, President of the American Physical Society

6 October 2010

Dear Curt:

When I first joined the American Physical Society sixty-seven years ago it was much smaller, much gentler, and as yet uncorrupted by the money flood (a threat against which Dwight Eisenhower warned a half-century ago).

Indeed, the choice of physics as a profession was then a guarantor of a life of poverty and abstinence—it was World War II that changed all that. The prospect of worldly gain drove few physicists. As recently as thirty-five years ago, when I chaired the first APS study of a contentious social/scientific issue, The Reactor Safety Study, though there were zealots aplenty on the outside there was no hint of inordinate pressure on us as physicists. We were therefore able to produce what I believe was and is an honest appraisal of the situation at that time. We were further enabled by the presence of an oversight committee consisting of Pief Panofsky, Vicki Weisskopf, and Hans Bethe, all towering physicists beyond reproach. I was proud of what we did in a charged atmosphere. In the end the oversight committee, in its report to the APS President, noted the complete independence in which we did the job, and predicted that the report would be attacked from both sides. What greater tribute could there be?

How different it is now. The giants no longer walk the earth, and the money flood has become the raison d’être of much physics research, the vital sustenance of much more, and it provides the support for untold numbers of professional jobs. For reasons that will soon become clear my former pride at being an APS Fellow all these years has been turned into shame, and I am forced, with no pleasure at all, to offer you my resignation from the Society.

It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself to read the ClimateGate documents, which lay it bare. (Montford’s book organizes the facts very well.) I don’t believe that any real physicist, nay scientist, can read that stuff without revulsion. I would almost make that revulsion a definition of the word scientist.

So what has the APS, as an organization, done in the face of this challenge? It has accepted the corruption as the norm, and gone along with it. For example:

1. About a year ago a few of us sent an e-mail on the subject to a fraction of the membership. APS ignored the issues, but the then President immediately launched a hostile investigation of where we got the e-mail addresses. In its better days, APS used to encourage discussion of important issues, and indeed the Constitution cites that as its principal purpose. No more. Everything that has been done in the last year has been designed to silence debate

2. The appallingly tendentious APS statement on Climate Change was apparently written in a hurry by a few people over lunch, and is certainly not representative of the talents of APS members as I have long known them. So a few of us petitioned the Council to reconsider it. One of the outstanding marks of (in)distinction in the Statement was the poison word incontrovertible, which describes few items in physics, certainly not this one. In response APS appointed a secret committee that never met, never troubled to speak to any skeptics, yet endorsed the Statement in its entirety. (They did admit that the tone was a bit strong, but amazingly kept the poison word incontrovertible to describe the evidence, a position supported by no one.) In the end, the Council kept the original statement, word for word, but approved a far longer “explanatory” screed, admitting that there were uncertainties, but brushing them aside to give blanket approval to the original. The original Statement, which still stands as the APS position, also contains what I consider pompous and asinine advice to all world governments, as if the APS were master of the universe. It is not, and I am embarrassed that our leaders seem to think it is. This is not fun and games, these are serious matters involving vast fractions of our national substance, and the reputation of the Society as a scientific society is at stake.

3. In the interim the ClimateGate scandal broke into the news, and the machinations of the principal alarmists were revealed to the world. It was a fraud on a scale I have never seen, and I lack the words to describe its enormity. Effect on the APS position: none. None at all. This is not science; other forces are at work.

4. So a few of us tried to bring science into the act (that is, after all, the alleged and historic purpose of APS), and collected the necessary 200+ signatures to bring to the Council a proposal for a Topical Group on Climate Science, thinking that open discussion of the scientific issues, in the best tradition of physics, would be beneficial to all, and also a contribution to the nation. I might note that it was not easy to collect the signatures, since you denied us the use of the APS membership list. We conformed in every way with the requirements of the APS Constitution, and described in great detail what we had in mind—simply to bring the subject into the open.

5. To our amazement, Constitution be damned, you declined to accept our petition, but instead used your own control of the mailing list to run a poll on the members’ interest in a TG on Climate and the Environment. You did ask the members if they would sign a petition to form a TG on your yet-to-be-defined subject, but provided no petition, and got lots of affirmative responses. (If you had asked about sex you would have gotten more expressions of interest.) There was of course no such petition or proposal, and you have now dropped the Environment part, so the whole matter is moot. (Any lawyer will tell you that you cannot collect signatures on a vague petition, and then fill in whatever you like.) The entire purpose of this exercise was to avoid your constitutional responsibility to take our petition to the Council.

6. As of now you have formed still another secret and stacked committee to organize your own TG, simply ignoring our lawful petition.

APS management has gamed the problem from the beginning, to suppress serious conversation about the merits of the climate change claims. Do you wonder that I have lost confidence in the organization?

I do feel the need to add one note, and this is conjecture, since it is always risky to discuss other people’s motives. This scheming at APS HQ is so bizarre that there cannot be a simple explanation for it. Some have held that the physicists of today are not as smart as they used to be, but I don’t think that is an issue. I think it is the money, exactly what Eisenhower warned about a half-century ago. There are indeed trillions of dollars involved, to say nothing of the fame and glory (and frequent trips to exotic islands) that go with being a member of the club. Your own Physics Department (of which you are chairman) would lose millions a year if the global warming bubble burst. When Penn State absolved Mike Mann of wrongdoing, and the University of East Anglia did the same for Phil Jones, they cannot have been unaware of the financial penalty for doing otherwise. As the old saying goes, you don’t have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing. Since I am no philosopher, I’m not going to explore at just which point enlightened self-interest crosses the line into corruption, but a careful reading of the ClimateGate releases makes it clear that this is not an academic question.

I want no part of it, so please accept my resignation. APS no longer represents me, but I hope we are still friends.

I may be just a Homer Simpson as Cass Sunstein posited, but this Homer has a few observations to make. Since voter fraud is going on in many states, aided and abetted by the Obama/Holder DOJ, are the citizens of that state not being defrauded by an illegal dissolution of their vote’s value? As inconvenient as it may be shouldn't we be able to seek peaceful redress through that other inconvenience a.k.a. the Judicial branch?

If so, can we not sue for enforcement of validating a voter’s citizenship? I’d be happy to provide my bona fides such as my birth certificate and my passport and to demand that the registrars demand that of me. I don't think in this post modern world we would object to the same requirement as was common when I got my driver's permit.

I can understand that in decades past this wasn’t done due to the sketchiness of records and abuses practiced against blacks. All well & good. But we are well past thinking of the old century at this stage of the game. I’d even be willing to accept setting a birth year like 1930 as the entry point for proof of citizenship.

Let’s get back on course and ensure the validity of our elections, stop creating incentives like amnesty and control immigration to levels we know we can absorb without impoverishing the people who are already citizens.

You know, it's funny how when we’re exporting jobs we’re schooled on how it’s a global economy but when it comes to illegals coming here and taking jobs we’re being schooled how they vitalize the economy. If that were looked at as a single presentation we would conclude a global economy would not necessitate the need for illegal construction workers at the Colin Powell household since unemployed people already here with at least the same skill set would be more than happy for the work.

With a real unemployment rate of over 21% [not the published 9.8% and definitely not counting the underemployed] and an "official" black unemployment rate of almost 17% which is probably more like 39.5 or higher - isn't is curious that Obama, who enjoys overwhelming support of the black community, is selling them cheap for illegal votes?

I seem to remember something in the oath of office about, preserving, protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States. Or has that gone out of fashion lately?
