Is the Economy Viable?

In this global mess known as the interdependent world economy, one thing is certain – fantasy trumps substance.  How else to explain what goes on daily in the financial markets, in the corporate board rooms or on the streets where you live.  Prosperity is an illusion.  Wealth is not the same as an efficient model of affluence creation.  Practical economic commerce by definition requires sensible business transactions, meaningful production endeavors and consistent stability in financial marketplace exchanges.  There is never a guarantee of success or profit.  Notwithstanding, to establish an engine of economic generation, the core principles of trade must be employed.  Savvy observers of the marketplace recognize that the fundamentals of business are virtually absent in the transactions that pass for international trade.  Even worse, domestic commercial activity suffers from an occupational hazard that pays no compensation.  That peril is the lack of viability.

The Extinction of the Middle Class

For those who retain the capacity of understanding the past, fond memories of a society that once had a vibrant middle class, conveys pride and nostalgia.  Today, the harsh reality is that the United States has been transformed into an unyielding authoritarian command and control gulag.  A mere gap between the ruled and the rulers has turned into a gulf of nationwide width.  The internment camp that relocates undesirables has been built large enough to process your friends and family.  Most simply ignore or deny their plight.  They are bent on living an illusion because they are enjoying the ‘good life’.  It’s only the malcontent that risks the wrath of the central planners.  For the vast majority - the system - still has relevance.

The plan is moving along as always

The hallmark of the last century is one of conflict and upheaval.  At least that is the popular view of history.  Yet, when you examine the end results of all that turmoil, the discord all points to a concerted strategy with similar objectives. Marxist solutions have failed miserably.  Socialist societies have proved to be a fraud.  And Communist regimes have demonstrated the reality of the “Big Lie”.  As for Capitalism, the boasted alternative to tyranny, the fib of purity has been the most successful sale since the natives were swindled out of Manhattan.  Equating free enterprise with state/capitalism that is practiced beneath the laws and regulations we live under is like saying that the trade for New Amsterdam was the federal reserve wampum version of creative finance.

Treason Is Not Patriotic

The Patriot Act is pure treason.   What don’t you understand about the meaning of treason?  The entire purpose for the creation of America is based upon defeating despotism, limiting government on all levels and advancing liberty for individuals.  The State is an unfortunate reality, it needs to be feared and controlled.  Patriotic protection of oppressive government is a sickness.  Love of country means that citizens must oppose tyrannical government.  What is so difficult in understanding the difference between jingoism and traditional civil liberties?  There is nothing conservative about waving the bloody flag for a political structure bent upon destroying individual rights.

Israel-First NeoCons = anti-American Turncoats

If you are mystified about the insane policies that drive our country to the brink of oblivion, you need not be confused any longer.  The deranged fascists over on Free Republic have a new hero.  Attorney Steven Zak and contributor to Frontpage has an essay - The Old Right/New Left/Neo-Nazi Alliance – published on Frontpagemag.com.  Leave it to David Horowitz, that Trotskyite denier who wants you to believe he is an American conservative to feature the literalism of Zak.  Impervious to those who might place Mr Zak with the ranks of shyster representation, this lawyer turned writer doesn’t lack any chutzpah.  From his opening statement to his closing summary he is not shy about where he stands!

Jonathan Pollard a "False Flag" Superstar

The cult of criminal celebrity has a way of distorting reality and substituting disinformation as a means of subversion.  The idol son Jonathan “Star of David” Pollard is a convicted traitor of the highest magnitude.  Israeli’s and Israel First Zionists treat this collaborator as a national hero for a simple reason.  Their own loyalty to America is conditional and subordinate to their true allegiance.  The drumbeat for his release from a life sentence in federal prison has never ceased.  The victim card is played as usual and the facts of history falsified to advance their precious country of choice.  The politics of disloyalty is rooted in the identity of Zionism and it’s political objectives.  The only faith involved is one in a regime that comes above the United States.

Different Kinds of Gulags

From the land down under a report written by Russell Skelton surfaces  - It's time to admit we've created a Gulag.  "The Baxter detention centre, once touted as a model holding centre for illegal arrivals, has degenerated into an immigration Gulag.  Unlike convicted criminals, immigration detainees serve no set term and can be held indefinitely. John Harley, South Australia's Public Advocate, is incensed at the lack of rights accorded Baxter's 225 detainees, many of whom are entering their fourth year there. Peter Qasim, a Kashmiri, is in his sixth year with no hope of release because no country will accept him."

Bilderberg Propaganda Rules the Planet

Denying that yearly meeting among the most select group of power brokers has little significance, illustrates the success of managed news.  Condemning any critical reporting to the depths of conspiracy oblivion has been the public relations coup of the last half-century.  Now that the first fifty years of non-existence denial has worn thin, the next ad campaign has a spin of benign   benevolence.  Hey, as O’Reilly would say, any “right thinking” person couldn’t really believe that this social society could be up to no good?  Ask yourself the simple question.  How many of your friends or family think you may be a little deranged for even bring up the topic?

The First Bush Presidency

Falling between great disappointment and utter horror, the first Bush term as U.S President can only be adequately apprized from a long term perspective.  The historic significance will be written in the future, while the real world reality must be endured today.  Partisan politics have become meaningless, and political rhetoric insulting.  The propaganda spin machine never stops and the twenty-four hour newspeak cycle never rests.  Events march on to perdition, as consumers fill their carts as if tomorrow will never come.  The slog continues as people revert to fantasy land and take comfort in their disillusions.

The march into internment advances

The past year 2004 started off as a time to go fishing and ends in a tsunami wave of calamity. The relief efforts are portrayed as assistance after the effect of a natural disaster, but the real story for the year is the onslaught of refugee  camps of a very different kind. The condition of the globe is much more at risk from political discord than from an environmental catastrophe. If the planet can rally to aid the suffering from the wrath of mother nature, why is it virtually impossible to resolve the differences from man made conflicts?

Pre-emption and Unilateralism

Foreign policy affects everyone, but few concern themselves with the details. The “Big Picture” is ignored for the fallacy of immediate gratification. Instant satisfaction defies enduring security. The trap that most citizens fall into, is that the subject is just too complex to bother with, what can one person do? The experts know best, they will protect us! If this mindset is realistic, why is the world such a political mess?  But more to the point, why does the United States have so many antagonists, devoted to restraining a suspect super power?

UN transparency and accountability

As the Iraq quagmire deepens and the ensuing civil war broadens, what is the role of the United Nations? Specific steps that need to be taken are less important than the underpinnings that make up the formula for “peace keeping” by the global community. The charter for the UN rests not in a document of international agreement, but resides within the quackery that gave substance to the creation of this world body.

Outsourcing - the worst of Crony Capitalism

If you want to understand politics, you better educate yourself about crony capitalism. Free enterprise is the engine of wealth creation, but the merging of an economy into State/Capitalism is the formula for companion elitism. Companions in control is the method of globalism. The goal is uncomplicated. Globalism = no middle class anywhere on the planet . . . Increases in productivity produce affluence, but distributing enhanced profits is seldom shared proportionately. As a principle of private property, ye who owns the gold, makes the rules.

What Is This War About?

With the Madrid bombing, continued turmoil in Iraq and constant apprehension of further terrorism, knowing the nature of this conflict is crucial. To begin with, civilization was advanced with The Reconquista (Spanish and Portuguese for reconquest). Expelling the Moorish kingdoms from Spain by the Christian rulers, Ferdinand and Isabella, allowed for the Iberian peninsula to assimilate into Renaissance Europe. With the naval Battle of Lepanto, the Christian fleet destroyed the Ottoman ships off the shore of Greece. When the Battle of Kosovo Polje was fought in 1389, a Turk victory marked the start of  the centuries-long occupation of the Balkans.

Frank Rich vs. Bill O’Reilly

A seemingly personal dispute may not immediately identify a global conflict. But the recent feud between the New York Times critic Frank Rich and the Fox News pundit Bill O’Reilly, points out why the world is so dysfunctional. On the Imus morning radio program, both men had an opportunity to make their case and present their viewpoint. What was this controversy all about? Depending on your values, is how the answer to this question may well be shaped.
