The Sign of the Times: Revolution & Culture


Governor Scott is receiving a lot of funding to promote union busting. There have been over 68,000 people being mobilized in Madison and other similar efforts going around nationwide to oppose Governor Scott Walker from Wisconsin’s policies. Walker wants to union bust and he refuses to even compromise his stances with even some of the Wisconsin labor leaders being willing to have large concessions. Wisconsin’s public sector unions are under attack. A network of Astroturf and establishment conservative groups has funded Walker. They are supported heavily by a single foundation in Milwaukee called the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation. They have a $460 million honey pot used to try to crush the labor movement. Walker has his administration to work with Bradley Foundation. The Bradley Foundation found is the CEO and former state GOP chairman named Michele Grebe. Grebe chaired Walker’s campaign and headed his transition. The organizations lining up to support Walker are financed by Bradley cash. The MacIver Institute attacked people opposed to Walker’s power grab. They have shown videos that slandered anti-Walker Protesters and one mocking children. The foundation promoted the lie that teachers and nurses are paid too much money. The Bradley Foundation supported MacIver with over $300,000 in grants over the last 3 years alone. The Wisconsin Policy Research Institute attacked Walker’s adversaries. They have a series of pieces attacking the state’s labor movement. They are supported with over $10 million in grants from the Bradley Foundation. The Americans for Prosperity group not only helped to elected Walker. They have also busted Tea Party supported to promote a pro-Walker demonstration. In 2005, the Bradley Foundation earmarked funds to help Koch Industries establish the Americans for Prosperity office in Wisconsin. From 2005-2009, the Bradley Foundation has given about $300,000 to Americans for Prosperity Wisconsin (also called Fight Back Wisconsin). The Bradley Foundation is controlled by numerous establishment Republicans like Washington Post columnist George Will. Harry Bradley is its founder. Harry was a part of one of Wisconsin’s most powerful families. He died in 1965. He founded nationalist hate groups that would have loved Walker’s union-busting agenda. Harry and his older brother Lynde began the Allen-Bradley company. This was a major manufacturer of electronics and engine parts. There was a bitter strike in 1939. Harry became more political. Harry opposed any government intervention in business like labor organizers. He lied and called labor organizers communists in his memoirs. He was a racist and didn’t want minorities and women hired in his plants. He hated the civil rights movement and liberalism in society. He studied reactionary politics. According to scholar William Schambra, Harry even studied Lenin and Stalin for ideas on how to wage guerrilla warfare against the left. He joined candy manufacturer Robert Welch to be one of the founding members of the John Birch Society (along with Fred Koch, the father of Koch Industries executives Charles and David Koch), and financed other right-wing firebrands. Media Transparency’s profile of the Bradley Foundation sheds light on its founder. Robert Welch helped to create the JBS back in 1958. He was a regular speaker at Allen-Bradley sales meetings. Harry had shown Birchite literature including Fred Loock, who was another key figure in the company. Harry obsesses with anti-communism. The Bradley Foundation promoted anti-affirmative action schools, anti-multiculturalism books (like this group loving the racist Bell Curve book), anti-welfare campaigns, privatization efforts, pro-neo con efforts, etc. Al Regenry proved that many people relied on the Bradley Foundation to fund the backbone of anti-union efforts in Wisconsin. Walker wants to cut aids to public schools. The GOP plan is simple. Destroy the unions and then they can use their corporate funded conservative organizations to buy future national elections. Governor Scott Walker’s current fight to crush labor rights in Wisconsin is the fulfillment of Harry Bradley’s John Birch Society dream.

Recently, in early 2011, the pro-abortion forces have shown a backlash against Pro-Life. This new backlash I think is the strongest that they have shown in years, because Pro-Life people have made strides and numerous victories in the past 10 years (from the partial birth abortion ban to record youth being Pro-Life). Now, I’ve anticipated this reality and we have the right to respond. The pro-abortion crowd lies in saying that abortion is just a termination or it’s a quaint procedure. Abortion is a very serious and sometimes dangerous act. Abortion destroys human life in the womb. It sheds innocent blood. These are established fact for the unborn baby in the womb has separate DNA from the mother, it grows, and it develops. Pro-abortion extremists say things about choice and rights, yet they omit that human behavior is never unlimited. Abortion on demand ends the choices in life that the unborn can make. Limitations on human behavior exist to prevent anarchy, crime, and destruction. Preventing abortion on demand is a legitimate action since it gives the unborn safety and the mother a legitimate way to have stability in their own lives. Radical abortions have been linked to sterilization, death, depression, and other side effects. So, abortion on demand isn’t the perfect pill to solve unwarranted pregnancies entirely at all. The elite (like Nixon, the NSSM 200 document) have promoted radical abortion efforts, sterilization, and forced sterilization as a means to harm people of color in the USA plus worldwide (as documented by Brother Sam Yette’s book called “The Choice”). It’s a fact that Planned Parenthood has been involved in scandals even before Lila Rose’s undercover videos. Since their inception, Planned Parenthood has been tied to the eugenicist movement. Margaret Sanger founded the group. She was an adulteress, an occultist, a speaker in a Klan rally, and she used clinics in Harlem & Brooklyn (which was funded by the Rockefellers. The Rockefellers fund PP now). PP wanted population control too then and now. They encourage people to have abortions and in especially minority communities. The radical levels of abortions in American society haven’t solved our problems here. This high level of abortions is a national emergency that is facilitated by the great poverty or economic disparity in America. If we want our problems to be solved, we will have to enact a comprehensive approach to deal with the safety of the unborn and child care after children are born too. One big lie, pro-abortion extremists say is that Pro-Life people don’t care about babies after they have been conceived. The truth is that people from across the political spectrum are Pro-Life. Liberal, conservative, libertarian, and Independent Pro-Life people exist then and now. Pro-Life people have supported child care, maternity leave, nutrition services, Head Start, and other programs to help children long before these pro-abortion people were born here. The unborn is very vulnerable. No one should oppress mothers, but the unborn has value and should be treated with concern, dignity, and respect. Forced abortions and harm to women by abortionists still exist, so all abortionists aren’t some saints to be genuflected as the Rhodes Scholar Rachel Maddow maintains. The unborn shouldn’t experience abortion on demand at all. I've debated people like Maddow for over 8 years. They say nothing that haven't been mentioned.

In the final analysis, this is an economic war in many circumstances. There are billionaires and those worth trillions of dollars trying to take away the basic human rights of the poor and the middle class. The super rich elite want to use politics and votes to maintain their power, while using the poor as scapegoats. Some vote against their own self interests since some folks are blinded by confusion, misinformation, bigotry, and hatred. The billionaire Koch brothers are trying to wipe out the middle class. Either we have freedom or corporate serfdom. You don’t embrace financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, and war profiteering to claim to be some freedom fighters. You are not if you embrace those nefarious ideologies. Another evil view is possessive individualism.  This is the lie that any who isn’t so-called “successful” is because it’s their own fault. This ignores discrimination, economic corruption, and manipulations that readily occur in society. Life is social not just individual, so we need a community effort (along with individual efforts) in order to have a better community. The ruling class hates real people using community solidarity and self determination of independent people. Revolution is truly about the right of a human being to live successful in the world and to live in a human community. Some people are in the government, are in a public sector union, but vote Republican. Some of these people are blue dog Democrats, but some of them may wake up when they see reactionaries take away their jobs, benefits, and collective bargaining rights.

Technology is growing rapidly. There is the Big Dog. It was unveiled in 2008 by Boston Dynamics. This company was employed by the Department of Defense. BigDog to some is the future of warfare. The device is like a remote controlled robot, which is soulless, to act in the battlefield. It doesn’t experience fear, pain, or remorse. The machine walks on 4 legs. It can talk a kick from a human being. It walks about hills and can walk in various amounts of terrain. The machine can walk on slippery roads as well. IT can move concrete block as well. The PetMan is another DARPA device that has been funded by DARPA. PetMan is a walking mechanical torso with 2 legs walking. It has heel toe walking like a human. Some believe that these machines could have guns or grenades. Today, we live in a post-modern era. This era has the promotion of satanic values and the overt bashing of Christian values. Even the Nazis wanted to destroy mainstream Christianity during WWII. The OSS admitted in its paper called "The Nazi Master Plan" that the Nazi Party was hostile to Christianity and the Christian churches. The National Social movement according to the OSS paper wanted the destruction of Christainity. Today, the establishment have made some apostate Churches to be accomodating to the wars of aggression. These new wars involved the attacking of the poor and people of color, especially Muslim. This hatred of Muslims by some in the corproate church (which is a feel good club that representes the Laodicean attitude) is unwarranted since we shouldn't hate anyone of any creed. The establishment Church mocks those thatactually tries to follow the commands of Jesus Christ.

Gadaffi is a dictator and a disturbed person. Yet, we have to see if this Revolution will turn Libya into chaos, a puppet Western state, or a genuine nation-state. Time will tell. I don’t justify the Gadaffi regime, but there are facts. Libya had a lower incarceration rate than the Czech Republic. It had the lowest infant mortality rate of all of Africa. It has the highest life expectancy of all Africa. Less than 5 percent of the population was undernourished. Libya had the highest Human Development index or HDI in all of Africa. Oil made Libya rich in many areas. The problem was that Gaddafi acted as a dictator in some of his policies. A military colonel has joined the group and provided them with further weapons. This uprising began in the Eastern city of Benghazi. Great Britain funded an Al-Qaeda cell in Libya in an attempt to assassinate Gadaffi. The main opposition group in Libya is called the National Front for the Salvation of Libya. This group is funded by Saudi Arabia, the CIA, and French Intelligence. February 17, 2011 was the time of the chaos in Libya. This group unified with other opposition groups to become the National Conference for the Libyan Opposition. Gadaffi (whether you agree with him or not) wants to unite one continent in Africa as a hegemony. Gadaffi is Berber not Arabic per se. American interests don’t want to happen. A bloody civil war in Libya therefore would be in favor of the West since the West can control the outcome better. The Libyan Islamic Fighting group supports the Revolution. Some of its members have been linked to the al-Qaeda group in Afghanistan that the CIA trained in Camp Peary.  Many al-Qaeda jihadists want chaos in Libya according to jihadist websites. NATO and the USA used the same al-Qaeda during the 1990’s that was used to terrorize the Serbs. “Many members of the Kosovo Liberation Army were sent for training in terrorist camps in Afghanistan,” said James Bissett, former Canadian ambassador to Yugoslavia and an expert on the Balkans. “Milosevic is right. There is no question of their participation in conflicts in the Balkans. It is very well documented.” Could the masses be wrong? Could the solution be an independent solution a part of this present counterrevolution? Libya was once trying to have Islamic banking in the nation. What we see is the Brzezinski strategy in action. This strategy is to cause division and a divide and conquer strategy for the West to influence these Middle Eastern nations (without the US directly invading these nations). They’ve failed in Iran, but they are targeting Egypt and Libya. Qaddafi isn’t a boy scout, but neither are puppets that the West wants to rule in the Middle East either. I don’t support Qaddafi, but Libya should be independent a part of NGO/Western intelligence puppets.
