Liberty is better than Tyranny





European Neo-liberals still want austerity inside of Europe. People are valiantly opposing that agenda. There are demonstrations and strikes occuring in Europe.  Unemployment and recession exist worldwide. Now, some people wnat to make anti-labor proposals in Europe to change the market system. This is how serious the financial coup d'etat has become. And it is going to get much worse - quickly. As John Monks, head of the European Trade Union Confederation, put it: "This is the start of the fight, not the end." That is why people in Spain have been protesting austerity measure (when the bank crisis there was caused by bad rela estate loans and negative mortgage equity not high labor costs). Some in Spain want to change laws to allow companies and the government to fire workers at will, cut pensions, cut public social spending, etc. in order to benefit the banks more. Portugal and Ireland are trying austerity when their banks have been irresponsible lenders. The bankers want to have their loan reserves at labor's expense. The European Commission or EC wants a war on labor. The IMF and the World Bank have made austerity programs in the Third World for numerous years. It's like reincarnating Margaret Thatcher's views of being no alternative but neoliberalism. Smaller Baltic nations want to break banks, have labor rights, even withdraw from the euro, and repeal the debts. Latvia will have its national parliamentary elections. the EC wants the government to borrow money and sent it to banks instead of taxing them to raise revenues. The neoliberals want to lower salaries even in the private crowd too. They want to tax labor not finance. Tolitarian economic rule is not the way to go. You will shrink the economy if you cut spending, cut wage,s have sales taxes, and refuse to tax the super wealthy. The ECB don't want to take on monopolicies or fight privatization. This economically destructive policy has been tested above all in the Baltics, using countries such as Latvia as guinea pigs to see how far labor can be depressed before it reacts politically. Latvia gave free reign to neoliberal policies by imposing flat taxes of 51% on employees, while real estate is taxed at only 1%. Public-sector wages have been reduced by 30%. Labor of working age (20 to 35 year-olds) are emigrating in droves. Lifespans are shortening. Disease rates are rising. The internal market is shrinking, and so is Europe's population - as it did in the 1930s, when the "population problem" was a plunge in fertility and birth rates (above all in France). That is what happens in economic depressions. Neoliberalism doesn't work.




There is the recent One Nation Rally. It was supported mostly by liberals. They tried to promote the idea that Americans are one nation and we should oppose the agenda of the Republicans. The crowd of people in the rally in Washington, D.C. was large with about 175,000 people. A diverse crowd was there including labor leaders (from AFL-CIO and Change To Win/SEIU), African Americans, Latino, anti-war activists, environmental group, the LGBT community, and other progressive movements. They meet in the Lincoln Memorial in October 2, 2010. The main purpose of the March was get Democrats to vote for Democratic candiates in November of 2010. The march was right and wrong on some issues. Among these leaders, and a sign of the strength of labor at the rally, was AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, Service Employees International Union president Mary Kay Henry, UAW president Bob King, AFT chief Randi Weingarten, NEA President Dennis Van Roakel,  and CWA's Larry Cohen. The President and CEO of the NAACP told the crowd that he and his supporters won't turn back now. He wnats people to vote for Democrats in November 2. There were other similar Marches in the West Coast, the Northeast, the Mid Atlantic, Midwestern states, etc. The marches wanted unity of working people and wanted political change in America. They view President Barack Obama as too centrist on some issues.  Rally speakers supported a number of relatively progressive policy initiatives, including a massive and comprehensive jobs program, advancement of civil rights and liberties, immigration reform, education reform, and union rights to mention a few. The speakers didn't criticize the President on watered down laws. In the current adminsitration, unemployment is still high (in 10-17%). There has been a lowering of our civil liberties. Immigration reform isn't occuring. President Barack Obama's $4.35 billion Race to the Top initiative is opposed by teachers unions that supported the Democrats. Conservative Democrats oppose the Employee Free Choice Act. The Democrats as the marchers omit are just as war mongering as the Republicans are. Harry Belafonte did do the right thing in criticize the war on terror in these terms: "...the wars that we wage today in far away lands are immoral, unconscionable and unwinnable." He is right to oppose the prison complex (which is the highest in the world in America), the oppression of women, etc. He criticized the Tea Party as misguided since they embrace contradictions and many of them worship the military industrial complex. You can't bear the cross under the cross of Democrats or Republicans. Marian Wright Edelman was right to oppose tax giveaways for the rich when 50% of children live in poverty. She desired more funding in education. Al Sharpton said that he wants to bailout the American pople not just banks and the insurance companies. Van Jones, a well known environmental and civil rights activist and an expert on "Green Jobs," noted that  “We can empower America by looking up for our sources of energy instead of looking down,” referring to wind and solar power. The only Congressman to speak was Chicago immigrant rights advocate Democratic  Rep. Luis Gutierrez, who declared: "The Latino and immigrant struggle is a continuation of the civil rights struggle in this nation. There would be no Cesar Chavez without Dr. Martin Luther King, no Sonia Sotomayor without Thurgood Marshal and no Roberto Clemente without Jackie Robinson.” The Democrats want more votes since they fear that young voters and independent voters will either vote Republican or stay home. The One Nation's dreaded enemy is the Tea party. There were Communist and Socialist groups at the rally. People in the rally say that they don't agree with all of the views there, but they wish for people to have their free speech say in the rally. Neo-cons use this as an excuse to blast all of the marchers as apart of a Communist agenda, which isn't the case at all. One problem with the rally is that it say that we must accept the 2 party system and vote Democrat to get solutions. There is nothing wrong with having one nation filled with liberty and justice. Yet, we have to escape the Left/Right paradigm and expose the big corporate power (involved with the big bank, big stockholders, and big money) other structure influence our systems of government. The Left Paradigm needs to see that not everything private is satanic and the Right Paradigm needs to realize that not everything public is wicked either. Basically, the government can fund infrastructure building and job creation, but the private sector should be given incentive to build jobs also. You have to have individual liberty and basic safeguards to protect human beings as well. I certain don't want to go back into the 1950's with Jim Crow and the states acting in an totalitarian fashion. I don't agree with war mongering.




Los Angeles is trying to push mandatory biometric identificaiton on students to condition children. The Los Angeles Unified School District is attempting to push mandatory fingerprinting on students. So, they want students to submit to the compulsory biometric identification system to get their own lunches. This comes after a few shosrt months after it was found that a city in Mexico was equipped with expensive biometric system. The system included iris scanner and thumb scanners. The program is now being used in the test phase. superintendent Roman Cortines claims that it can create jobs, make schools safer, and help students who are strubbling economically from feeling embrassed when using their free lunch tickets. Some try to make it an issue of equality. Yet, equality isn't promoted in this instance if people are forced into mandatory fingerprinting. These acts are intrusive and Orwellian. Superintendent Ramon Cortines said that the fingerprinting will help less fortunate or poorer students. He claims that students who cannot afford lunch, and therefore have to use a special ticket, will no longer have to do so. This will apparently prevent them from feeling “embarrassed” when in line for their lunch. Yet, formign mandatory biometric stations in schools will make students adjust to the control grid world. It isn't right to have unlawful search and seizures in order to make people conform to injustices when these kids reach adulthood. The equality of students ought to be about every students not being equally violated of their rights. Some say that these actions promote conenience. Evne cashless monetary transactions are pushed as conveient ways to be convenient. The Mexican “safe” city would utilize iris scanners to record one’s assets, and immediately identify them through the scan. This holds true with fingerprinting students as well. Students will no longer have to bring cash to pay for their lunches, which apparently makes up for the severity of the issue according to some political frauds. Some convience is good, yet it should never be exploited to promtoe the death of privacy. If faster purchasing methods exist, people's personal information will be given into the government. It don't necessarily limit purcheases. Tedious processes develop for those who don't want their personal information to be submitted to a database. An example of this is when it was required to scan your thumb in order to receive a license in Texas. You could either scan your thumb, choose to not receive a license, or attempt to fight it in court. So, biometric profiling in America is wrong against citizens. If fingerprinting occurs in Los Angeles public school, they wil come in other neighborhood schools. This isn't an isolate issue. The chief business developer of Mexico’s “safe” city even admitted that in the future is filled with mandatory biometric scanning. “In the future, whether it’s entering your home, opening your car, entering your workspace, getting a pharmacy prescription refilled, or having your medical records pulled up, everything will come off that unique key that is your iris,” he said during an interview. People should try to stop these acts in L.A. to prevent children to be codition to align with a mandatory biometric systme. Parents and citizens worldwide should take a stand against this blatant intrusion of human privacy. Proving your innocence without due process is one definition of fascism.


Mircosoft proposes government licensing Internet saccess. The state wants to block individual computers from connecting to the world wide web claims Charney. There is the new proposal by a top Mircosoft executive would open the door for government licensing to access the Internet, with authorities being empowered to block individual computers from connecting to the world wide web under the pretext of preventing malware attacks. Scott Charney spoke to the ISSE 2010 computer security conferencei n Berlin. Charney is the Microsoft vice President of Trustworthy Computing. He said that cyber security should mirror public health safety law with infected PCs bieng quarantined by government decree and prevented accessing the Internet. “If a device is known to be a danger to the internet, the user should be notified and the device should be cleaned before it is allowed unfettered access to the internet, minimizing the risk of the infected device contaminating other devices,” Charney said. Charney wanted the system would be a global collective defense run by corporations and government and would track and control people's computers that is similar to how government health bodies track diseases. People invoke the threat of malware attacks as a way ot dissuade or block people form using the Internet to be a common theme (yet it's tainted with political overtunes). There is the launch of the Obama administration's cyberseucrity agenda coming out earlier this year. Democrats are trying to claim that The Drudge Report was serving malware, which is an incident that Senator Jim Inhofe described as a deliberate ploy to "discourage people form using Drudge." The new proposals desire that the government cite the treat of malware to prevent people from visiting Drudge. they would be blocked from the entire Internet. This can cause a bad precedent by giving the government the power to dictate whether peopel can use the Internet and it can give a licensing system to be introduced. Some states have vehicle inspections before cars are used. Yet, you don't need to have a PC health check before a govenrment IP czar will issue you a license (or an Internet ID card allowin you to access the web). The only way companies or the govenrment can know if your system is infected with malware is to have a mandatory policy or software (or firewall) installed in every PC. This can send data to centralized hub to facilitate warrantless surveillance and other invasions of privacy. Mircosoft has been at the forefront of a bid to introduce Internet licensing as a means to control how people acess and use the Internet. This effort of Internet censorship in the West has intensified over the year. Mircosoft's chief research and strategy officer named Craig Mundie in 2010's Economic Summit in Davos wanted the Internet to be policed (by means of introducing licenses similar to drivers licenses). This can cause the government to issue permission for us to use the web. That's wrong. “We need a kind of World Health Organization for the Internet,” he said, mirroring Charney’s rhetoric about controlling cyberspace in a public health context. “If you want to drive a car you have to have a license to say that you are capable of driving a car, the car has to pass a test to say it is fit to drive and you have to have insurance.” “Don’t be surprised if it becomes reality in the near future,” wrote ZD Net’s Doug Hanchard on the introduction of Internet licensing . “Every device connected to the Internet will have a permanent license plate and without it, the network won’t allow you to log in.” Days after Mundie's call for Internet licensing, Time Magazine's Barbara Kivait supported the view that the Internet should be policed with licenses. She was one of Mundie's fellow attendees at the elitist gathering. The New York Times even had a blog called "Driver's Licenses for the Internet." It called for Kiviat's license talking points for the Internet. The New York Times and Time Magazine call for these thigns since they want to censor free speech on the Internet among especially blogs (since blogs tell the truth more about what's happening in the world now than the mainstream media). The sales of Time Magazine went down. more people are getting news from independent sources in the web. Ad sales for the NY Times sunk by no less than 28 percent last year with subscriptions and street sales are also failing. The Cybersecurity agneda is promoted by the Obama administration is trying to covertly censor the Net. Communist China has bad Internet censorship. Political people, dissidents, etc. shouldn't support censorship of the Net under the guise of "security concerns." China rejected Internet licensing ironically last year for being too authoritarian. Microsoft don't share these concern. A proposal allowing the government to get the foot in the door to determine who can see the Net should be opposed. The reason is that such a systme would be wide open for abuse and pave the way for fulling licenseing and top down control of the world wide web.


Secret Societies exist for real in the world. The Secret Society/Founding Fathers link is found in the new documentary called "The Hidden Faith of the Founding Fathers." It was produced by Chris Pinto, who is known for making detailed information about pertient subject matter. The essence of the documentary is to make the distinction between many God-fearing people back in the 1600's-1700's and the Founding Fathers that embraced occult doctrines (were in Freemasonry, the Hells Fire Club, etc.). Some of the Founders even created literature and gave oratory speeches that denounced the belief in Jesus Christ or the teachings of Jesus Christ. THe Founders' faith was very hidden since they realized that overtly carrying on their true philosophies wouldn't be popular among the general American populace back centuries ago. So, they used phrased like Providence or Reason to cloak their true intensions (which is to promote a nation where Christianity would be diminished or ultimately abolished in society). David Barton is a Dominionist and promotes the deception that most Founding Fathers were some Evangelical-like Christians. Dominionism is the old heresy that Christians must dominate the government as much as possible to create some quasi-theocratic state in order to herald the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ (or the merging of the church and state to the extreme). That is even unscriptural since Christ will come after the Tribulation. Also, Barton omits the pro-pagan, and anti-Christian quotes of numerous Founders in order to promote his views. David Barton is famous for leading tours in America and in D.C. to prove that our architecture in D.C. building are apart of a Godly heritage. The truth is that buildings in D.C. and even in the Capitol Building that have pagan images and icons (from Neptune, Mercury, Athena, and the whole nine yards). There are ancient world statues in the pediments of buildings in Washington, D.C. These false gods have been called demons by Christians. Even the early Church condemned the false gods of the pagan world.
