Kiss my snow-white ass cheeks
Decriminalization of politics department - Supporters urging Barry Flipper Obama to change his position and oppose the pending FISA bill are now the biggest group on his website. Barry just told them all to kiss his lily ass.
Obama is not being “heretical” on FISA, he is totally flip flopping on FISA. He said he would filibuster any FISA bill that included telecom immunity. Now he acts as if he never said that… some STILL don't understand that the fundamental reason John Kerry lost in 2004 was because the American People did not believe he would stand for something: | | 1:22p |
Singapore - a squalid fascist police-state The idea of getting together a regional federation of democracies got the thumbs up from Singapore...sorry, the middle-finger up. This is a sign that its a good idea that would exclude squalid fascist police states like Singapore, Burma, Laos and etc. Donations for Gopalan Nair Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been informed by many that they would like to contribute financially in donations to help me remain in Singapore to fight this case brought on unexpectedly by the Singapore government.

Insults now follow injury
Obama advisor Greg Craig: Adding insult to injury (by Glenn Greenwald at No Quarter)
In today’s New York Times, James Risen … spoke with Obama adviser Greg Craig…: “Greg Craig, a Washington lawyer who advises the Obama campaign, said Tuesday in an interview that Mr. Obama had decided to support the compromise FISA legislation only after concluding it was the best deal possible. ‘…[H]e concluded that with FISA expiring, that it was better to get a compromise than letting the law expire.’” Craig’s statement is flat-out false. FISA — enacted in 1978 and amended many times to accommodate modern communications technology — has no expiration date. The Protect America Act, which Congress enacted last August to legalize warrantless eavesdropping on Americans, had a 6-month sunset provision and thus already expired back in February, restoring FISA as the governing law… It’s bad enough that Obama is supporting a new warrantless eavesdropping scheme. They should just candidly admit that he changed his position rather than feeding incoherent and insultingly false rationalizations to the public…
RAT America has created — and today unveils — a superb new tool for contacting key Senators to urge them to vote against the FISA bill and/or to vote for pending amendments to improve the bill (if any of those amendments pass, a key benefit will be that the bill then must return to the House or be reconciled, rather than going straight to the White House for signing).

Who are the progressives?
WHAT DO “PROGRESSIVES” BELIEVE? (pdf) (by Jessica Trounstine, Princeton University)
Our team found:
Support for the term “progressive” has increased over time.
Self-identified progressives are more supportive of government intervention in the economy, both in terms of regulating business and redistributing income, than the general public.
Progressives are protective of civil liberties.
When asked to choose between equality and freedom a majority of progressives say that equality is more important.
Progressive tend to support government efforts to safeguard the environment.
Progressives are less religious on average than other ideological groups.
Progressives tend to be unwilling to tolerate government regulation of morality.
Progressives tend to have positive views of immigrants.
Progressives are committed to diplomacy as the cornerstone of foreign policy.
Progressives tend to be better educated and to earn more money than the average respondent.
Progressive identification is most popular with respondents under the age of 50 and men.
Progressives pay a great deal of attention to politics.
Actually, I disagree with one or two of these points, but I definitely qualify as a progressive. Obama does not. - MAKETHEMACCOUNTABLE
'Self-identified progressives are more supportive of government intervention in the economy, both in terms of regulating business and redistributing income, than the general public.'
Fair enough - but politicians keep taking this to mean support for protectionism, bigger government and 'picking - winners', a terrible form of protectionism. Also they never do enough to seriously take from the frikkin' rich and give to the poor. Never. True progressives have to make bores of themselves highlighting these left-deviations.
'Progressives are protective of civil liberties.'
A scarily few ANARCHISTS are protective of these! Meantime the Left gets regularly pilloried for condoning Marxist police states. Red -fascism is still pretty much the default position in spite of the net.
'When asked to choose between equality and freedom a majority of progressives say that equality is more important.'
See what I mean?
'Progressive tend to support government efforts to safeguard the environment.'
One reason the government just love us so much.)
'Progressives are less religious on average than other ideological groups.'
After seven million deaths in the late middle-ages reformation can you blame us?
'Progressives tend to be unwilling to tolerate government regulation of morality.'
'Progressives tend to have positive views of immigrants.'
Unless they're named ' Alberto Gonzales,' John Yoo', and ' Michelle Malkin'.
'Progressives are committed to diplomacy as the cornerstone of foreign policy.'
Better jaw, jaw, jaw than war, war, war.
'Progressives tend to be better educated and to earn more money than the average respondent.'
Personally I'm a high-school dropout whose thousands of dollars in debt...but then I'm often an outlier.
'Progressive identification is most popular with respondents under the age of 50 and men.'
I'm a man who doesn't look a day over 49. ( 53) We won't get any more women in here till we radically minimize all the left-fascism. Now finally the idea of progress in evolution is only becoming a reality today while the idea of progress in art is absurd. Keep progressive-ism in its proper place. Politics and religion.

Analysis: U.S. military to patrol Internet
The U.S. military is looking for a contractor to patrol cyberspace, watching for signs of forthcoming terrorist attacks or other hostile activity on the web… In a solicitation posted on the Web last week, the command said it was looking for a contractor to provide “Internet awareness services” to support “force protection” — the term of art for the security of U.S. military installations and personnel. - MTA

Cruel but fair
Obama Be With You (by Uppity Woman at No Quarter)
Obama is the Democratic Party’s George Bush Redux. He’s inept just like George Bush. He lies to get what he wants, just like George Bush. He’s arrogant, just like George Bush. He disinfranchises entire blocks of Americans, just like George Bush. He uses people, just like George Bush. He’s arrogant, just like George Bush. He refuses to be vetted, just like George Bush. He gets his sycophants to attack people, just like George Bush. He rigs things, just like George Bush. He’s a thug, just like George Bush. He’s impressed with himself, just like George Bush. He cheats, just like George Bush. He has unsavory friends, just like George Bush. And he has a middle east conflict, just like George Bush. And now, we are watching Barack Obama refuse to separate Church from State, just like George Bush. - MTA

Rush to judgement
'...For the McCain campaign to put out a memo to reporters claiming that Obama has adopted McCain's policy only shows that his advisors believe that a sizable percentage of the political press is made up of incorrigible morons. And it's hard to disagree with the judgment...'
The media's gotten worse because its being downsized on the investigative side and ramped up on the entertainment side - it truly represents a military-entertainment complex. The few good reporters that have survived the brutal selections in favor of airheads and brown-nosers to power are all still employed by incorrigible corporate morons, and yes Virginia - PBS is a corporate entity too. We have to keep moving away from this trainwreck and keep creating and sharing our own content. So long as we have the net we have peoples media. Just as fear is the key for the fascists - the net is the key for us.
On edit - '...the real change taking place, which is the replacement of tenured professors my age with adjuncts who will
very likely never be tenured. Not having tenure makes it very difficult to hold outspoken positions...'

Combined with my time in previous administrations, I have had the honor and privilege of working here at the White House for almost fourteen years.

Deep penetration
In France in 1938, Trotsky and many of his supporters, having been expelled from the Soviet Union, considered the Comintern to have become lost to Stalinism and incapable of leading the international working class towards political power. Thus, they founded their own competing "Fourth International."
Thirty delegates attended a founding conference, held in September 1938. An International Secretariat was established. The representative from Russia was later found to be a Stalinist agent and Trotsky's son was probably murdered by Stalinists. Soon after, in 1940, Trotsky suffered a fatal climbing accident in Mexico. Trotskyite-fascist Blueshirt Leon had previously informed his followers and the world that if ever a fascist Vargas/Brazil style regime entered in war against Britain, he would side with Fascist Brazil against Democratic Britain. | | 4:20p |
How dare you SUH!
Commentary: How dare they rip the Fourth Amendment?
By Joseph L. Galloway | McClatchy Newspapers
Early next week the U.S. Senate will vote on an extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, with a few small amendments intended to immunize telecommunications corporations that assisted our government in the warrantless and illegal wiretapping it has grown to love.
That such a gutting of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution even made it out of committee is yet another stain on the gutless and seemingly powerless Democratic majority in both houses of Congress.
That a majority on both sides of the aisle — not least of them the presumptive nominees for president of both political parties — intend to vote for such a violation of Americans' right to privacy and of the sanctity of their personal communications is a stunning surrender to those who want us to live in fear forever.
We are living in a time when the right of habeas corpus — which simply put is your right to be brought before a proper court of law where the government is made to prove that there is good and legal reason to detain you — recently survived by a margin of only one vote at the U.S. Supreme Court.
Now these bad actors are prepared to set aside your right to privacy — written into the Constitution as a key part of our Bill of Rights — with hardly a nod in the direction of the true patriots who rebelled against an English king and his army to guarantee those rights.
That they will do this while the last empty phrases of the political windbags at the Fourth of July celebrations are still echoing across a thousand city parks and the bright red, white and blue bunting and blizzard of American flags still flap in the breeze is little short of breath-taking.
How dare they?
Those denizens of the White House and Capitol Hill and all those gray granite buildings that line avenues with names like Constitution and Independence in the nation's capitol would have us believe that we must trade our rights, all of our rights, for some measure of security from the terrorists.
They would have us believe that a nation of 300 million people must surrender what a million other Americans gave their lives in war to protect in order to protect us from a couple of hundred fanatics hiding in caves in Waziristan.
Benjamin Franklin himself wrote of such a debate:
"Those who can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
The fact that British troops, operating on flimsy general warrants handed out by local magistrates, were kicking in the doors of ordinary Americans and rifling through their pantries and papers in search of smuggled, untaxed goods was a prime reason why our ancestors rebelled against their king and went to war.
This is WHY we celebrate the Fourth of July. This is why the vote on renewing the expanded version of FISA and whitewashing the egregious violations of the Fourth Amendment for seven long years by our government is important.
If neither John McCain, the Republican, or Barrack Obama, the Democrat, can find the courage to oppose such a violation of so basic a right, then what are we to do for a president, a successor to George W. Bush, The Decider, who has since 9/11 decided what rights you are entitled to keep, what laws he will or will not obey, and whether you will be protected by these words of the Constitution:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
That's it. That's the Fourth Amendment. That is what these folks in Washington, D.C., have violated continuously and in secret for seven long years.
Somewhere across an ocean and a desert, hiding in his cave, a man of hate named Osama bin Laden is laughing up the sleeve of his dirty robe at the thought that he and a small handful of fellow fanatics could tie a great nation in knots — knots of fear stoked by our own leaders.
We have done incalculably more and greater damage to ourselves since September 11, 2001, than a thousand bin Ladens and ten thousand al Qaida recruits could ever have done to us.
Franklin D. Roosevelt famously declared that "we have nothing to fear but fear itself." Now it would seem that we have no one to fear but ourselves and our leaders.
The questions I pose are these:
How can even one senator on either side of the aisle in good conscience vote in favor of this law that does nothing to enhance our security and everything to diminish our rights as a free people?
How can both men who seek to become our next president cast such a vote when both should be standing shoulder-to-shoulder declaring that they would govern by our consent and with our approval, not by wielding the coercive and corrosive and corrupt powers that King George III and his latter-day namesake from Texas thought are theirs by divine right? | | 4:21p |

Libcoms Stalinist, Angelus Novus
# Re: [Marxism] Che Guevara - Writings, Angelus Novus, Thu, 3 Jul 2008 13:56:48 -0400 (EDT)
Libcom appears to regard this left-fascist, Angelus Novus, as a member in good standing just recently in its forums where he-she/it insults anarchists and praises red-fascism. This post above then @marxmail also then gives us a rough 'Polaroid' of where Libcom is at at this point in time. Not a good look for them.
Other left-fascists posting there are 'Red Hughes' and ' Dave C'. Its a Sovnarkom snake-pit.
Anarchs be aware. | | 5:11p |
A litmus test '...The mainstream Marxist position is that Marx and Engels argued that the working class must smash the republican state and replace it with a new one. The other is that they made a clear distinction between the republican state and the “state machinery” and that, as a consequence, they argued that the republic could be captured by the working class and reformed. The next result of both notions is the creation of a really democratic state (this is where anarchists disagree, of course, arguing that any state, even an initially really democratic one, would generate new forms of class rule)...' http://libcom.org/forums/theory/icc-councilist-left-anarchism-17062008?page=3Attitudes toward the state, libertarian-socialism and the peasantry usually provide a wealth of material for anarchist analysis.

Backflip with double pike
The only law that got him was Newtons law of gravity
'...Physically, Reles was short, but had long arms and hands with short, stubby fingers. His small physical size did not deter him from committing ruthless acts of violence. When carrying out hits, his weapon of choice was an ice pick, which he would ram through his victim's ear right into the brain. Reles became so adept at using the ice pick that many of his murder victims were thought to have died of cerebral hemorrhages.
Reles became known as a particularly cold-blooded and psychopathic murderer. On one occasion, in broad daylight, he killed a worker at a car wash for failing to clean a smudge from the fender of his car. Another time, Reles killed a parking lot attendant for failing to fetch his car fast enough. On another occasion, he brought a guest to his mother's home for supper. When his mother left after the meal to go to a movie, Reles and another gang member murdered the guest and then removed the body.
Reles reportedly got the nickname "Kid Twist" after an earlier New York killer, Max "Kid Twist" Zwerbach. Another theory behind the moniker is that it was the name of his favorite candy. Yet another theory is that the nickname described his method for strangling people...' - Wikipedia
'...Reles implicated his boss in Murder, Inc, Louis Buchalter in the murder of Brooklyn candy store owner Joseph Rosen; Buchalter was eventually convicted and executed for this crime. Reles' information also implicated Harry "Pittsburgh Phil" Strauss, Mendy Weiss, Harry "Happy" Maione, Frank "Dasher" Abbandando, and even Reles' childhood friend Buggsy Goldstein. All of these men were convicted and executed. Following these convictions, Reles' next target was Albert Anastasia, who had been co-chief of operations of Murder, Inc.. Reles was to implicate Anastasia on the murder of union longshoreman Pete Panto. However, unlike other members of Murder Inc., Anastasia was a high-ranking member of the Cosa Nostra. The trial, based solely on Reles' testimony, was set for 12 November 1941. Until then, Reles was under constant guard by six police detectives at the Half Moon Hotel on Coney Island...' AND
'...In the early morning of November 12, Abe Reles fell to his death from a hotel window. It is not known whether he was thrown or pushed out the window, or if he was trying to escape. The angle of trajectory suggests that he was in fact pushed.
Because of his mob status as a "stool pigeon" and the circumstances surrounding his death, Reles gained another moniker after his passing. In addition to "Kid Twist," Reles became known as "the canary who sang, but couldn't fly'. | | 6:35p |
'Then I am not a Marxist...'
Marx wrote:
Now as for myself, I do not claim to have discovered either the existence of classes in modern society or the struggle between them. Long before me, bourgeois historians had described the historical development of this struggle between the classes, as had bourgeois economists their economic anatomy. My own contribution was
1. to show that the existence of classes is merely bound up with certain historical phases in the development of production;
2. that the class struggle necessarily leads to the dictatorship of the proletariat...'
Using Marx’s theory, the class rule of the working class masses is a state structure by definition. An indefinite state. And an indefinite dictatorship. One such as has been proved over and over again in praxis since 1918. ( Which is why Marxists don't talk so much these days about 'scientific-socialism'.)
As for Che's tender ( deathbed natch - its traditional donchaknow) bleeding-heart, feelings of solidarity with all humanity - does that include all those millions of man, women and children that bourgeois representatives of some abstract 'working-class' sent to an early grave?
Those peasants Marxists mass-murdered in the name of class-war?
No?
I didn't fucking think so.
That pig Che was a Stalinist all his miserable murderous rotten life. At his own miserable death he MAY have been some sort of 57th variety of Trotskyite...but the only ones we have to vouch for that have a proven dialectical relationship with the truth. They are Marxists. | | 6:51p |
Rapid devolution
Study revolutions and you won't go far wrong - or study theory - its still a free country
While not claiming any particular expertise at the period may I carve yr indulgence?
Marx and his capitalist financier are both caught flat-footed by events in both 1948 and 1871. Rotten creeps close to Marx and Engels even have the gall to accuse Bakunin of being a cop. Todays Marxist filth still follow in this gutter maggot tradition btw. In 1871 Herr Marx welcomes the invasion of France! Then after altering his tune - in a mealy mouthed, bad-faith, entertainment-journalist way - Marx is scrambling to play catch-up ball. Its all an act and it all falls apart in the last meeting of the International. The bourgeois dilettantes, Engels and Marx now stand fully exposed. Even Mazzini is disgusted with these filthy capitalist liars. The neo-Hegelian route is proved a dud and the anarchist way proved in battle. Such is life. Those who prefer ideology and dogma to real-life carry on the weak and worthless Marxist tradition until it finally finds its ' Saint Paul'. Vladimir Lenin. The first red Tsar.
Marx argued for the overturning of the parliamentary system - Lenin actually did that in 1918. The organized killing began with anarchists as the first victims in 1918. Ninety years ago this year. | | 7:08p |

Staggers debate latest
The LA Times debate between John Stagliano and Barry McDonald continues.
Today's question: There have been many stories from former porn performers indicating the industry is rife with abuse, coercion and drug addiction. Doesn't the government have an interest in curtailing this behavior through obscenity enforcement? Previously, Stagliano and McDonald debated the economics of porn, the kerfuffle over Judge Alex Kozinski's picture collection and the constitutionality of obscenity laws.
Give me more than just anecdotes
Point: John Stagliano
Is The Times suggesting that enforcing obscenity laws will stop people from breaking other laws? Aren't we already at the point where a government official can get you on some law somewhere if he doesn't like you? Isn't that what an obscenity law really is? I have no idea when I'm breaking this law. Aren't we fast approaching this situation for any businessman? I read The Times regularly, and it sure seems that way.
I have been in the porn business since 1973. To say that it is "rife with abuse, coercion and drug addiction," one must provide real evidence rather than a few anecdotal stories. For someone to work in porn as a producer for more than just a single film, he or she must cultivate a reputation as a good person to work for. This is a relatively small business, and if anyone is abusing performers in any way, that information is spread very quickly through the whole industry. No one has consistently done this in my business and survived; you just can't get away with it. When I was on the fringe of the Hollywood entertainment industry in the 1970s, it seemed that there were more sleazy characters preying on wannabe actors and actresses in the non-porn world than in the porn world.
And what about the music business? Should we ban rock music and rap, which face similar accusations as the porn industry? In the '70s and '80s, the industry joke was that you had a better chance of not being taken advantage of in porn than in the "legitimate" businesses. But I am only giving anecdotal information. If The Times is going to throw this mud on my business, please give me something more. Where are the arrests of abusive porn producers?
As far as drug use goes, again, this is anecdotal. The proper thing to do would be a study of similar young people in and out of porn that compares each group's lifestyles. Has that ever been done? Those performers who do abuse drugs quickly learn that they lose work. My European friends laugh at us for being so obsessed with controlling what people do with their bodies.
I will not apologize for the extreme porn produced today in Los Angeles. It is the expression of the creativity of the people I respect the most. They are not afraid to reach. They are using their bodies in ways unimaginable before. It is art in the purest sense of the word -- art that challenges; art that makes you think.
The crazy thing is, porn has become the most incredible expression of freedom. If you don't like this, if you are afraid of this, that is an expression of your approach to life, not ours. We're just achieving sexual gratification; is that so bad? Religion says it is -- to the point of torturing and killing, from the Jewish lesson of Sodom and Gomorrah to the Christians during the Inquisition to the radical Muslims who flew planes into buildings. It's all the same mentality.
In the nation that imprisons more of its people than any other country in the world (you're more free from jail in Russia than the United States), how can we say we are "the land of the free and the home of the brave"?
John Stagliano is an adult entertainment director, producer and distributor.
Barry McDonald's response will appear here shortly. ( I may not post it. I'm tired of all these jackboot licking 'law professors'. ) Lay the fuck off porn valley all you federal filth. | | 8:28p |
PJ Speed-Dial Insofar as PJ Proudhon uses the the classical Greek dialectic - who the fuck can blame him? Europe went through a fucking purgatory of mindless Manicheaism for a fucking millennium! The dialectic was born again in the late-renaissance /early enlightenment period. It was fascinating and exciting and fresh. All sorts of other thinking tools ( or caps - DeBono) had yet to be (re) discovered. The dialectic had yet to become a white-noise, prayer-wheel or new method of lying for Dark Ages types. Or both under the German school of Neo-Hegelianism. Even today the dialectic may help us visualize certain things - its only bad when it it becomes an absolute in the hands of nihilistic morons like Engels. ( The negation of the negation of the negation!) A little dialectic goes a long way, but in the hands of a master like PJ its a pleasure to watch. Marx said he wanted to turn a heap of shit called Hegel upside down - truth be told, Stirner, PJ and Mikhail all slamdunked this lamer petty-bourgeois loser Marx three times over. http://libertarian-labyrinth.blogspot.com/ | | 8:45p |
Ooze tube idiocy
I'm the slime oozing out from yr TV set
Art Threat — YouTube ordered to hand over user info to Viacom
In a move that has privacy advocates either piping mad or peeing in their boots, as US Federal court has ordered Google to hand over YouTube user records, including the videos each user has watched, their usernames and IP addresses.
Viacom is suing Google for not doing enough to keep its copyrighted videos from television shows such as The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report off the popular website YouTube. [...]
The company argued it needed access to the information on user viewing habits to prove that copyright-infringing material is more popular than user-generated videos on YouTube, which would strengthen its case against Google.
In a ruling issued on Tuesday, Louis Stanton, a judge with the U.S. District Court for the southern district of New York, agreed with Viacom and ordered Google to turn over the information.
Google argued user data should not be handed over because of privacy concerns, but Stanton dismissed those concerns as "speculative."
In protest I'm going to download torrents of the Daily Show yet refuse to watch them. Either that or visit the crowd lining up outside the Colbert Report studios and shower them with Google juice. ANARCHOBLOGS | | 8:50p |
Naomi Klein is
Naomi Klein is acting in the worst bad-faith. As a long time Trot she should know as well as anyone the Trotskyite roots of the Neocon movement. She has never been open and honest about her roots and her present loyalties must be assumed to be red-herring at the least or mindlessly Marxist at worst.
And anyone honestly interested in shock-capitalism I invite to study Russia 1918-1922.
Naomi Klein is a liar, a fraud and a petty-bourgeois capitalist swine. | | 9:11p |
FARC express death-bed wish to liberate all hostages
In the great tradition of Marx falling in love with Mother Russia just before dying, Lenin anointing Trotsky just before dying, Trotsky falling in love with peasant lovers just before dying , Beria freeing millions of prisoners just before dying and Che seeing the Trotskyite light just before dying, the FARC today apologized for acting like MAMISTA, repressing the the ELN, accidently killing the wrong person occasionally and keeping prisoners without good reason sometimes.

Tomorrow belongs to us
Us being the DPRK ( from the sky at night is environmentally all-right) and Cuba today. Australia simply can't go on behaving like the capitalist pig in the poke. We need lights-out-at-night - shoot-on-sight orders. We need more well-educated and healthy sex-workers. We need to export more unhealthy and even addictive products. In short we need actually existing Marxist praxis operating down here, online Chinese style, all the time. Under the enlightened thought of Chairman Kevin I have absolute confidence in our progressive future.
You have doubts comrade? |
