Ancient History, Etc.

China has many more dynasties after the Han Dynasty. There was the Three Kingdoms system in China. They are the Wei, Shu, and the Wu. Each Kingdom was headed by an Emperor that claimed to be a legitimate succession from the Han Dynasty. This period lasted from 220-280 A.D. In many dynasties, changes, there is a peasant revolt, civil war, and other bad events that come up. Wei conquered the Shu in 263 A.D; there is the overthrow of Wei by the Jin Dynasty in 265 A.D., and the destruction of Wu by Jin (from 280 A.D.). The Three Kingdoms period was one of the bloodiest in Chinese history. The Eastern Han Dynasty had about 50 million people. During the early Western Jin Dynasty, there was a report of only ca. 16 million people. The figures of Jin may be suspect, because of Jin’s census being less complete. During this 3 Kingdoms period, technology advanced significantly. Shu chancellor Zhuge Liang invented the wooden ox. The wooden ox was suggested to be an early form of the wheelbarrow. Liang also improved on the repeating crossbow. Wei mechanical engineer Ma Jun (considered to be the equal of Zhang Heng) made a hydraulic powered mechanical puppet theatre designed for Emperor Ming of Wei, square chain pumps for irrigation of gardens in Luoygang, and the design of the South Pointing Chariot. This chariot is a non-magnetic directional compass operated by differential gears. The Emperor He from the Eastern Han Dynasty experienced depressed and the 3 Kingdoms came about to rule in China. The 3 Kingdoms focused on 3 regional markets and the Grand Canal (this merged the Yangtze River to the Yellow River). Other dynasties came about in Chian like the Jin Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, etc. The Ming Dynasty is one of the most famous Dynasties in China. It lasted from 1368 to 1644. The Ming Dynasty had orderly government and social stability. During the Ming era, China had a large navy and a standing army of about one million troops. The admiral Zheng He in the 15th century made a tributary fleet that traveled all over Asia, India, and even Africa to the Atlantic Ocean. During this time, the restoration of the Grand Canal and the Great Wall of China came about (including the creation of the Forbidden City in Beijing during the first quarter of the 1400’s). Ming had from 160 to 200 million people. Emperor Hongwu (who ruled from 1368 to 1398) wanted a self sufficient rural community in a rigid system.  The Emperor didn’t focus on urban life. In the 1500’s, the Ming traded with Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Japan, etc. in this Columbian Exchange (or trade among the Old World and the New World. It’s like the Old World and the New World exchanged with each other horse, corn or maize, coffee, etc.). Crop failure, natural calamities, epidemics, and the Little Ice Age (harming crops) caused the Ming Dynasty to suffer economic troubles. The Qing Dynasty came about the Ming Dynasty ended.



Ancient Greece has had a long history. Ancient Greece is the first high level modern ancient civilization in Europe. It was founded by the Minoans and ironically they weren’t even from Greece. Religion is a huge part of Greco-Roman culture. There were gods and goddesses. The ancient Greeks view these gods and goddesses as super human and immortal. The Greeks in their mythologies believed that these gods resided in Mt. Olympus in Greece. Ancient Greece had its people claiming that it was a humanistic society, but that wasn’t always the case. The gods in ancient Greek mythology intervened in human affairs throughout time. The 12 Olympian gods and goddesses were ruled by Zeus. Zeus is the god of thunder and the sky. Zeus is shown as physically strong. The Greek god Poseidon is the god of the seas representing life to ancient Greeks since the sea is in constant change. To them it is a life force, since ancient Greek society so relied on the water for food, transportation, trade, colony building, and other endeavors. Athena is of course the goddess of wisdom. This relates to using thinking about topics. It represents the humanistic quality of learning in their Greek religion. Aphrodite is of course the goddess of beauty, passion, and any feelings or emotions. To the Greeks, you must be highly fit, loving, and intelligence to seek perfection in everything you do to participate all of the time in life. This relates to human nature since many humans have that ego to try to be the best (even at the expense of pro-eugenics rhetoric that some ancient Greeks have done).

The Etruscans were a non Indo-European people, who were pre-Roman. They influenced the Roman civilization in many ways. When you look at ancient images of the Etruscans, many have light, olive, and some have dark skin complexion. That’s interesting to say the least. They possessed great artwork from fine gold jewelry to the bronze statues. They laid the foundation for the city of Rome. The Etruscans had their own alphabet and writing system to. The origin of the Etruscans isn’t totally known. They have had relationship with the Sea Peoples form the time of Ramses III (1200-1166 B.C.). The Etruscans referred to themselves as Rasenna, but to the Romans and Greeks they were Etrusci, Tusci, Tyrrheni, or Tyrseni. The modern Etruscans increased their civilization great around in Italy in ca. 800 B.C. Recent studies from across the world claim that the Etruscans are related to people from Anatolia (or the Turkey peninsula) and the Near East. To the modern Italians they are still Etrusci and the name of the Etruscan Sea is still the Tyrrhenian, after perhaps 3,000 years. The Etruscans called themselves Rasenna. The Etruscan arch design has influenced the Roman civilization too. The Etruscans were warlike and fought with each other. Yet, they formed 12 major cities near the sea. They made a complex, advanced civilization. The Etruscans had a somewhat equality with males and females since the men were busy in warfare in many cases. They had the 2 classes of the aristocrats or the rich landowners and the non-aristocrats. Ancient civilizations have had classes like priests, merchants, nobles, workers, peasants, etc. The Etruscans worshipped Nature. The ancestors of the Romans were the Indo-European tribes of the Latins, Sabines, etc. Some of them invaded and took over the territory of the Etruscans. The Etruscans had land improvement in the form of hydrology and hydraulics to build land drainage activities. Even parts of the city of ancient Rome were developed on the foundation of the Etruscan civilization. The Etruscans have had huge influence in ancient Rome until the Romans sacked Veii in 396 B.C.



The Flat Tax has been exposed by numerous folks indeed. The flat tax is loved by many conservatives and even some libertarians. It’s supported by Rick Perry, Herman Cain (as popularized with his 999 plan), former House majority leader Dick Armey, etc. Armey is the chairman of the Freedom Works group. It’s the Tea Party funded Koch Brothers supported group. Perry and Cantor yell against the stimulus, but use money from the stimulus to fund their projects in a form of hypocrisy. The flat tax raises taxes on the poor and lowers them on the rich. The non-partisan Tax Policy Center estimates that Cain's plan (the only one out there so far) would lower the after-tax incomes of poor households (incomes below $30,000) by 16 to 20 percent, while increasing the incomes of wealthier households (incomes above $200,000) by 5 to 22 percent, on average. Under Cain's plan, fully 95 percent of households with more than $1 million in income would get an average tax cut of $487,300. And capital gains (a major source of income for the very rich) would be tax free. Usually, the flat tax plans lead into the rich benefiting. The current tax code is slightly progressive since the rich pay a slightly higher rate. Yet, the poor pay a larger share of their incomes in payroll taxes, sales taxes, and property taxes. Flat taxes don’t eliminate popular deductions. A flat tax means a professional whose making, say, $380,000 a year pays the same income-tax rate as a plutocrat pulling in $2 billion or $20 billion. Our current flat tax at the top is treating the nation's professional class exactly the same as it treats super-rich plutocrats. The top 1 percent is now raking in over 20 percent of the nation's total income and owns over 35 percent of the nation's wealth. Simple fairness requires three things: More tax brackets at the top, higher rates in each bracket, and the treatment of all sources of income (capital gains included) exactly the same. Also, people on minimum wage in many cases can’t afford many basic necessities of life (I’m not even talking about health insurance).  



Virginia’s history is part of American history. To be a Virginian in many ways is like being a historian. The reason is that every inch of Virginia from the cities, the rural areas, the mountains, the suburbs, and the exurbs are filled with fascinating, exciting history. The original inhabitants of Virginia have been Native Americans. The Tidewater region has been filled with Native American tribes for thousands of years. There has been the prehistoric habitation in the Pocahontas Island back in ca. 6,500 B.C. By the end of the 1500’s, 3 major groups of Native Americans lived in Virginia. They were based on language families. The largest group is of course the Algonquian tribes. The Algonquian peoples lived all over the Mid Atlantic and Northeast regions of North America. They numbered in over 10,000 people. The Iroquoian and the Siouan lived in the interior of Virginia as well. The famous Powhatan was in the Algonquian tribes like the Chesepian, Chickahominy, Doeg, Nottoway (I’ve been to the Nottoway area in real life. I have relatives that live out there in that area near Southampton County, Virginia), Rappahannock, etc. Of course, the Jamestown settlement came via English settlers in 1607. It was the first permanent English settlement of people in the North American continent. By that time, the Algonquian tribes ruled most of Virginia east of the fall line. The fall line is the boundary between the Piedmont and Tidewater Virginian regions. It’s found in Richmond, VA and that is why Richmond has those large hills at certain places that I’ve seen in real life.

UAV used against insurgents in Afghanistan can incapacitate suspects from above

A Department of Homeland Security-funded surveillance drone deployed against insurgents in Afghanistan that can also be used to tase suspects from above has been unveiled by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s office and will be operational within a month.



“At $500,000 a pop, Montgomery county spent $250,000 to get the UAV. The rest was covered by a Department of Homeland Security grant,” reports KBTX.com.
Although its initial role will be limited to surveillance, the ShadowHawk Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, previously used against suspected terrorists in Afghanistan and East Africa, has the ability to tase suspects from above as well as carrying 12-gauge shotguns and grenade launchers.
“We look forward to utilizing it in a variety of capacities that protect our employees from harm to the extent possible and to enhance the protection to our citizens and their safety,” said Montgomery County Chief Deputy Randy McDaniel.
The ShadowHawk is a 50lb mini drone chopper that can be fitted with an XREP taser with the ability to fire four barbed electrodes that can be shot to a distance of 100 feet, delivering “neuromuscular incapacitation” to the victim. The drone can travel at a top speed of 70MPH and can operate for 3.5 hours over land and sea.
A video clip of the drone shows off its impressive maneuverability as it tails a suspect attempting to evade capture with sophisticated object tracking technology. Another video shows the drone conducting surveillance of two individuals involved in a firearm transaction.

More powerful military Predator drones are already being used to kill American citizens overseas, including 16-year-old Denver-born Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, prompting fears that drones could be used within the United States to meter out extrajudicial punishment, something that surpasses anything George Orwell predicted in 1984.
The fact that the drone was partly funded with DHS grant money further illustrates how the Department of Homeland Security is determined to turn America into a high-tech police state.
While the federal agency openly flouts immigration laws by authorizing illegal aliens to work in the U.S., billions of dollars have been poured into “homeland security needs” for state and local governments to keep tabs on the American people, including the rollout of a surveillance camera network that is now blanketing major cities across the nation.
Even more Orwellian are proposals also being backed by the federal government to turn street lights into sophisticated surveillance tools that can not only record video and conversations, but also have “homeland security” applications including displaying messages that encourage Americans to report on each other as part of DHS’ ‘See Something, Say Something’ snitch campaign.


The Poor

The redistribution of wealth from the 1% who have control of most of it to the other 99% who had the biggest share in creating it will benefit the dispossessed across racial lines. If poverty is eliminated, poor people (who come in all colors) with be liberated from deprivation. Only insofar as proportionately ore Blacks than whites are in poverty will it benefit blacks more. But hunger is hunger. How many poor whites would agree to see their children suffer only because to end this suffering means that Black children are also delivered from this suffering. If redistribution of wealth in a cooperative society means the end of unemployment, how many poor and unemployed white workers are going to say "Well if you're going to find work for those blacks too, then I'd prefer to stay uenployed"? Moreover, since progressive reforss will end the tyranny of the 1% over many of the 99% who are educated and middle class, one could argue that here it benefits whites more than blacks. Proportionately, there are fewer educated middle class Blacks like me than there are educated middle class whites. Do you think that I will object to what will improve the lives even of the middle classes just because ore whites--generally being more affluent---will benefit? Providing racial discrimination doesn't come into the picture, I have no objections. Frnakly, I want ot see a lessening of both RACE and CLASS inequality. Any progressive refors leading toward that end will get my vote.

Liberators and other issues






Liberators have always existed in human history. One famous one was the great prophet Yeshua ben Joseph of Nazareth. You will notice that he was born poor under the boot of Roman oppression. He never wanted accolades from universities nor sport sponsors. He was rejected by many of his own people for his dynamic words, and his testimony. His enemies falsely classified him as a rabble rouser, a troublemaker, and an insurrectionist, which are all false accusations. He or Yeshua violated unjust laws and unjust injunctions. Yet, he promoted the liberation of human beings from oppression, the praise of the underdog & outcast, sickness, sin, and poverty. He is a great hero to admire. To be a hero and a true leader, you have to serve mankind in a joyous, fruitful fashion. To serve means to sacrifice yourself in a capable fashion. You can be full of love and grace to serve without much wealth, much praise from the world, and serious education at all. Yet, there is nothing wrong with receiving a REAL education though. Revolutioanry heroes fought battles for the freedom of the oppressed in America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and across the globe. Even Canadian Prime Minister from 1961 to 1971 did amazing progressive works in Canada to cause a radical sense of human improvement inside of Canada. Henry Wallace (though a Mason and I don't agree with Freemasonry for religious & political reasons) publicly executed a lot of legitimate opposition to racial discrimination, lynching, and economic exploitation & economic oppression.



What inspires me? There are a lot of things that constantly inspire me daily. Sometimes, a kind word from anybody can inspire me to create information and go forward better in life. Reactionaries and people that disagree with me can inspire me to write something better and focus in a relentless fashion on how I can formulate my political views or otherwise. Famous and less than famous folks that agree with my views inspire me to think critically to be stronger. They can allow me to be culturally sensitive about the human race in general. Human beings like William Cooper, Dr. Martin Luther King, Kwame Ture, JFK, Malcolm X, and others (even athletes like Michael Jordan, Carmelita Jeter, Marion Jones, etc.) certainly make me aware of my own errors in life. Yet, these people remind me that second chances, doing accomplishments, promoting justice, and being real are the spices of life. I have the right to be real and honest display my attitudes about events in the world. It's certainly real that compassion mixed with strength are great avenues than embracing frivolous "swagger," the truth is better than fiction, and good is superior to evil. Hope, love, and power are items than can overcome oppression. Self improvement is a quintessential goal of mines and others. So, that concept should be etched in the consciousnesses of all peoples. Now, we can have a better life by protesting, using mentorships, teaching someone about the reality of life, participating in charities, working with likeminded individuals to make a difference, live by example, feed the hungry, believe in cultural improvement among our own people, and loving to help our people. In our generation, we don’t need one solitary leader guiding us. We can be leaders simultaneously all over the Earth fighting for justice and radical actions to be taken. For one person that’s unsung is just as important as one person doing the right thing that is more famous. In our lives, did the real dream die? No, the dream didn’t live. It lives on in us since our ancestors passed away, but the ancestors of every background gave us hope, enlightenment, and relevant teachings to carry forward with THE DREAM.

As many folks realize, silence to oppression is equal to betrayal. Those of us in think now about what's really doing on in the world should be conzinant of our neighbors. If our neighbhor is usffereing abuse, we should to defend our neighbor. If we see conflict, we have to right to do our part to try to end it. It is constant and swift action that can a great prerequisite in ending stupendence challenges along life's road. Now, in the final analysis, everyone should speak up. Speaking up and doing something about any evils is better than complaining about an issue wiothout any form of action. It's better to oppose Wall Street crimes, unjust wars, religious deception, GMO foods, poverty,and other injustices than do nothing.
Peter Schiff officially sold out to the 1%. We know he’s an Austrian economic agent and now he’s out of the closet in support of the 1%. That’s a disgrace. He tried to talk with Wall Street demonstration and try to promote his social Darwinianist, archaic laissez faire capitalism ideology. Laissez faire capitalism has been a contributing factor in the international slave trade, the evil Opium trade, and the promotion of moral relativism. He said how much should be allowed to keep in a condescending fashion. The reality is that people should keep their money under the responsibility to pay taxes. Paying legitimate taxes is found in the Constitution. The progressive taxation system helps the poor and sending extra tax brackets can be done to help people from across the economic spectrum too. I don’t believe in calling Schiff a fool like some protesters have done. Yet, he is dead wrong for handling the 1 percent with kid gloves. The international banks have taken over regulations and we need common sense regulations. Some regulations are good and some are bad. Not all regulations are evil. Therefore, we should maintain regulations that are legitimate and eliminate any evil regulations. Effective government is the solution as JFK said not just any form of government. Everyone opposes crony capitalism, but I don’t believe in worshipping Ayn Rand. Peter Schiff can talk about income taxes, but in the 19th century we had slavery, child labor, and other evils. We have had unprecedented economic growth from 1945 to the 1970s (with a higher tax rate on the wealthy back then). The Constitution gives Congress the right to tax, build roads, promote science, and to have other policies using the federal government to promote the general welfare of the people. Peter Schiff is in love with the agenda of Wall Street. D.C. did wrong and Wall Street did it as well. We don’t need to follow lobbyists for war mongers, Big Pharma, and Wall Street interests at all.







War profiteering is a serious problem in America. We know that plutocrats have used corruption and have done corporatist policies. It’s easy to see that the 1 percent of the top earners have record profits as well. The 0.01% of the executives takes in huge amount of money. They leverage tens of millions of lobbying money to control over representatives in Congress. This harms the American people and the American economy at large. They profit from American taxpayers, the lives of American soldiers, and the death plus destruction from across the globe. The super rich have manipulated the American political system and promoted unnecessary and unethical wars. The one hundredth of one percent of these people are war profiteers, the CEOs of military contractors that are paid even more than CEOs of financial institutions like JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America. The CEO of JP Morgan Chase or James Dimon was paid 20.81 million dollars in 2010. The CEO of Wells Fargo named John Stumpf was paid 18.95 million dollars. The CEO of Bank of America named Brian Moynihan was paid 1.94 million dollars and that is huge to Americans. The numbers for Dimon include salary, bonuses, stock awards, changes in pension value, and other compensation. CEO of Northrop Grumman, Wesley Bush, made $22.84 million. CEO of Lockheed Martin, Robert Stevens, made $21.89 million and Boeing’s CEO James McNerney made $19.74 million. These figures put military contractor executives deep in 0.01% territory, seeing as one must make $9.14 million annually to fall in this ultra-elite strata, according to an article published on the liberal website AlterNet. However, an anonymous investment manager’s article published on a University of California at Santa Cruz professor’s website claims that the top 0.01% has a net worth of $24.4 million on average. Unfortunately a source for this statistic is not cited. Our country is unequal in its economies. During the same period, $682 million was paid out to 30 contractors convicted of “hard-core criminal fraud.” Military contractors regularly defraud the Department of Defense, and thus the American taxpayer, yet they continue to operate with impunity while taking in nearly unfathomable profits on our dime. The war profiteering industry trumps the financial sector when it comes to the millions pumped into Washington in lobbying dollars as well. So, the war industry benefits from the acts of criminal banks and the private Federal Reserve. The super elite use a corrupt defense industry that strengthens the military industrial complex. War profiteering is old and it’s still tragic today. We can’t support a system that profits off of death and destruction.



The economic reality is tons of Americans now are suffering declining standards of living. This is caused by the pathological and piratical system of corporate privilege mixed with globalization (including discrimination and other evils). Hard working and law abiding Americans from the poor to the upper middle class are being impoverished like anyone else. It’s an old lie that anyone can be successful under this corrupt system with record student loan debts, lost jobs, corporate corruption, and civil liberties being violated in America. Apologists for this system like Romney, Perry, Cain, Bachmann, and others need to realize that his privilege for the 1 percent robs 99 percent of the wealth plus resources of the American people. You can’t be a liberator when you suck up to the agenda of the Koch brothers (and people more powerful than them like the Pilgrims and the Bilderberg Group). The 2 party system in the USA is just like one party as many folks as explained. It’s a party of corporate privilege and power. The Republicans want the OWS movement to be suppressed, while the Democrats want it to be co opted for them to rule it. The OWS isn’t perfect and I don’t like on how they suppressed certain speakers from speaking like John Lewis. Yet, not all members of the OWS are monolithic and they are having a stronger impact in a shorter span of time than even the Tea Party. Cartel capitalism is a reflection of speculation, globalization, and an escape from selfless behavior. Some say this isn’t real classical capitalism, but even if free markets ruled everything, you will still have imperfections and poverty. The corporate oligarchy pays dollars to both the Republicans and Democrats to not only strife political voices, but to permit the Left/Right Paradigm (where agitation is the order of the day. This agitation is used by the elite as an excuse to pass more laws to suppress individual liberties and the rights of the people). In the 21st century, more Americans are thinking about options like cooperatives and various associations to break down the concentration of wealth and political power. Some want state or community based banks. This may be more of a reality in the 21st century.

Sherif Elhelwa, writing for Vice, has photographed the al-Qaeda flag flying atop the courthouse in Benghazi. It shares a staff with the Libyan rebel flag, or more precisely the NATO-rebel flag.
“It was here at the courthouse in Benghazi where the first spark of the Libyan revolution ignited,” he writes. “It’s the symbolic seat of the revolution; post-Gaddafi Libya’s equivalent of Egypt’s Tahrir Square. And it was here, in the tumultuous months of civil war, that the ragtag rebel forces established their provisional government and primitive, yet effective, media center from which to tell foreign journalists about their ‘fight for freedom.’”
From the beginning of the staged revolt against Gaddafi, evidence pointed at the presence of the CIA created terrorist group within the ranks of the NATO rebels. It was reported by the establishment media and then ignored as the official narrative came into focus.
“The war to rid the country of the Gaddafi dictatorship might have ended, but the battle for control of post-revolutionary Libya has only just begun. And it will surprise few that assorted radicals, jihadists, Salafists, and LIFG [Libyan Fighting Group] veterans are attempting to fill the power vacuum and replace one dictatorship with another,” Elhelwa concludes.

Robeson and More News

Paul Robeson lived from April 9, 1898 to January 23, 1976. He was a famous hero. He was a pioneer in the civil rights movement and human rights movements for black people including other people worldwide. He was an American concert singer, recording artist, athlete, and actor. He was a political radical, but was progressive in his outlook in life. From 1917 to the early 1920’s, he was an All-American athlete. He was treated very cruelty by the American government even his passport was stricken from him because of his political views. A man’s political views is his right to embrace and a man ought not to be persecuted because of his political views at all. He is not known by a lot of people in the world, because the establishment wants his name stricken from the brother. Yet, this brother will be given thanks for his contributions to the African struggle for pure liberation. He was born in Princeton, NJ. His father named William Drew Robeson I was descended from the Igbo people of Nigeria. He was so intelligent that he was elected as the 1919 class valedictorian. He promoted Negro Spirituals. He went into Britain to perform. His wife was named Eslanda. In the 1930’s, he learned more about African history including Igbo, Yoruba, Zulua, Russian, and Hindi languages. He and his wife Eslanda Robeson were friends with national future Presidents Kama Nkrumah and Jomo Kenyatta. He visited the Soviet Union. You have to put this into context. Back in the day, many brothers and sisters legitimately found the American system so abhorrent that they felt that had no choice but to look to the Soviets for tranquility. I don’t agree with the Soviet system (when it banned de jure, racial discrimination, but it has persecutions of millions of innocent human beings), but I see what Robeson came from. Even in 1936, Robeson was in the Song of Freedom that promoted human rights against Western imperialism. He fought against the fascists during the Spanish American war. There are so many actions that he have done. He fought against the Japanese Americans from being imprisoned in America. He supported the Progressive candidate for President Henry Wallace. Wallace ran on an anti-lynching and pro-civil rights platform. He supported the rights of Aboringinal people.  He talked with Malcolm X in having a new meeting, but Malcolm X was assassinated in 1965. In 1946, he opposed a move by the Canadian government to deport thousands of Japanese Canadians. Robeson accepted honorary life membership of the Japanese Canadian Committee for Democracy and gave a concert in Salt Lake City, then home to the Japanese American Citizens League. He opposed lynching and once supported the progressive candidate Henry A. Wallace (on an anti-lynching, pro-civil rights platform that caused numerous voices to support him). He passed away in Philadelphia by stroke complications. It’s easy to see that Paul Robeson wanted true human rights.



The OWS protest has been collectively demonized by jealous people. Nimmo and Alex Jones (who claim to be cutting edge patriot yet Jones supports the Right Paradigm John Birch Society. The JBS is a reactionary group with ties to the Knights of Malta, the Jesuits, and even the Rockefellers in the beginning according to various sources) yell about taxes, but we have had a higher tax rate on the super rich decades ago (and this incurred more economic prosperity for the poor and middle class). The movement isn’t Communism and isn’t collectively anti-Semite at all regardless of what people say. The OWS is made up of people from across the political spectrum. It’s very hypocritical for critics to expose a global like George Soros, but refuse to expose how the Rockefellers funded the Austrian economic movement for decades. Also, the Austrian movement is pro-banking elite. The same ones demonizing anyone promoting labor rights, economic justice, etc. are the same ones decades ago who opposed the civil rights movement. Now, Scandinavia and Germany have more regulation than America, but they have less unemployment and greater benefits than America. Denmark and Sweden have more personal freedom than America also. Many of these nations have a higher standard of living or HDI (human development index) than the USA. So, the lesson is that pro-corporate policies don’t mean a thing to help the poor. If you want to help the poor, strong social safety net along with other unique policies are necessary in order to give those suffering a better life (and real health care, a real job, and real education). Free market fundamentalism or Reaganomics (trickled down economics) doesn’t work. Even proponents of tricked down economics have denounced that policy. These reactionaries even oppose a simple jobs bill that can provide employment for many Americans. Tax cuts alone and gutting regulations don’t solve our economic problems since you need revenue growing system in order to create true economic stimulus. What the enemy promotes is an old game plan (not not globalism), but fascism. These hypocrites believe in big government for the military, but little to no government to help workers and the poor. These hypocrites cry about welfare, but ally with corporate welfare. Scott Walker, John Kasich, and others have been protested by people seeking workers’ rights simply. Walker’s regressive agenda has been opposed as well. It’s not about big vs. small government. It’s a corporate dominated government and evil corporations vs. the people. It’s about promoting efficient government beyond big or small. The government ought to be of and for the people, but the evil people have made the government to be infiltrated by corporate interests/elite ties. It isn’t just bad corporations that are the problem, but the CFR, the FED, the Bilderbergers, Trilaterialists, etc. (that desire globalization at the expense of small businesses and the people). Also, a social safety net isn’t a handout as the Economic Collapse blog says. They are earned benefits gotten via work. People worked to get these benefits. People don’t get opportunities by tax cuts alone. People can get opportunities by ending the war on terror and having economic populist plans in place. Also, we have austerity (cutting government) and austerity worldwide doesn’t work.

The earth’s biosphere is under threat by an unique problem. It is about genetically modified species. Genetically modified species are damaging the planet in many ways. They are harmful. They can hurt animals and humans via GMO foods as well. GMO foods can cause widespread infertility, organ failure, cancer, and mutations as proven repeatedly in lab animal studies. This harm can spread into multiple generations. They exist in GMOs, human/animal hybrids, vaccines (which can be loaded with super viruses), dangerous chemical compounds, and other special ingredients like fluoride, etc. These chemicals are spreading also because of legal rulings over gene patent and intellectual properties are paving the way for a dangerous world.



Blue Dog Democrats (the maintainers of the status quo) & their reactionary allies believe in moderation and statesmanship in order to accomplish the so-called “social good.” This anemic policy doesn’t lead into radical reforms, but wicked compliancy. Did we use moderation to fight for our God-given right during the civil rights movement era? Did we need to be moderate or express keen statesmanship to end legalized slavery in the USA? Do we need to be moderate (or traitorously in love with the chains of political correctness) to battle against unjust & evil economic inequality transpiring globally? No, No, and NO. What we need is radicalism. It was radicalism that defeated the British Empire overtly in the 1700’s via the colonists during the Revolutionary war. It was radical actions of folks even violating unjust laws in America to give basic civil, voting, and human rights to Americas. So, it will take strong measures to get solutions developed in the American continent & the world. This isn’t statesmanship, but revolutionary activities. Moderation leads only into mental slavery, which is as cruel as physical slavery. The reason is that in being a so-called “moderate”, you try to play both sides when you are only mentally confused on what to do (while you are submerged in the status quo with no real process to see). I don’t give a care about the odds. It is more important to battle against the odds since my people won battles when the stack was decked against my people. I don’t support a culture in a country that claims to believe in democratic principles, but has a depravity of health services to its poorest citizens. I don’t ally with a culture that glamorizes social bigotry, materialism, and the evil gender wars. I don’t agree with mainstream religious being used a pimp circus instead of a genuine spiritual atmosphere. What I support are concepts of justice, equality, fair treatment among all genders including individuals of every background.



Many people believe that the Democrats invented the Klan; therefore black Americans shouldn’t join it. The truth is that both Republicans and Democrats have done evil and have a controversial history. It’s up to individual to be a part of a political party they see fit without intimidation or coercion from anybody. Now, the KKK was invented in 1866 by Nathan Bedford Forest. He was a 1st degree Freemason. The founders of the Klan were ex-Confederate army officer that wanted to terrorize black Americans after the Civil War ended. Both Democrats and Republicans then and now are divided into centrist, leftist, conservative, and reactionary factions. The Klan members in heavy numbers belonged to a reactionary faction of the Democrats (they were segregationists). Also, Klan members had links to the Republicans too. This reactionary faction opposed progressive policies during the Reconstruction period. This reactionary faction opposed the Civil Rights movement and the policies of Kennedy and LBJ. They opposed the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Republican Barry Goldwater opposed the Civil Rights Act too not for racial reasons, but for ideological reasons (since he was a libertarian. Yet, the segregationists opposed the Civil Rights Act for bigoted, racial reasons).Then, later many of the Dixiecrats went from Democrats to Republicans. The Republican Richard Nixon used the southern strategy to play on racist white sentiments in order to get vote for his win of the 1968 Presidential election. This reactionary sentiment is still here when Republican governor of Virginia McDonnell wanted a Confederate History Month when the Confederacy was a totalitarian regime of slaveholding despots. That is why most black people vote Democratic since many Republicans support the old failed policies of yesteryear. One KKK leader said that the platform and program of Reagan couldn't have been any better if the Klan had themselves written it. Reagan used the counterrevolution to fight against the change made in America during the 1980’s. Reactionaries want vital social programs assisting people to be radically cut, which is a total shame.

Unbelievable, now every single person that wants to end wars and tax the rich to pay for entitlements are called “OWS” protesters by the MSM and IW/PP. They are called “Liberals” or “Progressives” people.. Or just say “the left” for ___s sake.
I understand that IW and PP want to be the mainstream and want to grow the business but enough of the bias. I hope the readers here are not as easily manipulated as the writers here believe.

I was too impatient to reaqd this drivel so what I am saying may be wrong. Did anyone else notice how Nimmo cursed the tax increases but said nothing about the Medicare cuts?

It’s bad news for gun-grabbers and other enemies of the Second Amendment – only 26% of respondents to a recent poll believe the government should ban handguns.
The poll is part of Gallup’s annual Crime poll, conducted Oct. 6-9. This year’s poll finds support for a number of gun-control measures at historical lows, including the ban on handguns, which is Gallup’s longest continuing gun-control trend, according to their website.
Gallup notes that the acceptance of gun ownership is not related to crime.
“In 2008, Gallup found widespread agreement with the idea that the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right of Americans to own guns. Americans may also be moving toward more libertarian views in some areas, one example of which is greater support for legalizing marijuana use,” Gallup reports.
“What’s interesting here is Americans are shifting to a more pro-gun stance despite high profile incidents of gun violence – like the Arizona shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 18 others,” reports CNN in reaction to the findings.

Gallup also reported gun ownership at its highest level since 1993. Forty-seven percent of American adults admit that they keep a gun in their household, which is the highest number recorded in almost two decades.
In 1993, the Clinton administration pushed through the Brady bill to ban handguns. The law required a five day waiting period after purchasing a handgun. Clinton called the bill a “good beginning” for more gun control legislation.
