Controversial Issues in Controversial Times

The news media wants Syria to replace Assad with a token, pro-Western leader. The Syria regime change PR is going into a higher level. The mainstream media is presenting to the public the baby slaughter propaganda. This propaganda is similar to the PR acts used during the Libyan civil war that brought Gaddafi down. One fake story has been exposed. Now, the reporter Alastair Beach of the Independent newspaper (based in London) claimed to have evidence that the Syrian President Assad's security forces have indiscriminately killed scores of newborn babies in Homs this week. The article from the newspaper is entitled, "Assad's slaughter of the innocents." The article talks about the Bashar al-Assad's bloody siege in Syria and the brutal assault.  Beach's sources for these claims of infants being slaughter came from only one organization not in Syria (but in London). Surprisingly, the Independent’s chief source for the alleged horrors in question is a nearly invisible organization known as the ”Syrian Observatory for Human Rights(SOHR) (and to make matters worse, there are two competing SOHR orgs in London- with the same name although the Independent does not provide a link to either org), who claim to have an office based in London. Yet, apparently have no address or contact phone number listed - only and email address. Even murkier however, is that fact that there are no names associated with the SOHR on their website, and many of its articles have been written under the fictitious pen name known as Rami Abdul Rahman." That name could refer to Rami Abderlrahman. He is depicted a the head of SOHR. The man is reported to have met with the Britain Foreign Secretary William Hague at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on November 2011. So, since the SOHR has no names or contact information, then it's a very hidden, cladnestine lobbying organizaiton. This group lobbies for regime change in Syria from the Britain's Foreign Office. Similar actions occured in Libya. Before regime change in Libya among Tripoli, the U.S., France, and Britain relied on groups like Soliman Bouchuiguir (the former Libyan League for HUman Rights President). The West worked with the NTC or the National Transitional Council to generate lies that were used to justiy NATO's "humaniatiran intervention." NATO claimed to promtoe Libyans, but they used war crimes in a sovereign nation. Some of thee people like Abderlrahman may have ties to the Paris based rebel coalition called the Syrian National Council (or the SNC). NATO targeted Colonel Moumr Gaddari with many lies as documented by the October publication called Voltaire. Syria's President Assad is curerently under the same treatment and in the exact same manner. Electronic Infidaba reported on the August 2011 baby hoax in Hama, Syria. The pictures back then in Hama of babies dying are false. The mainstream media readily use false stories about human rights as an excuse to promote foreign intervention in sovereign nations (without peaceful resolutions). Britain's William Hague wants regime change in Syria. NATO seems to be the executioner of militarism too. Hague claimed that over 2,000 people died in Syria since the Russia/China veto of a Resolution to condemn Syria. Even journalist Tony Cartalucci documented the clandestine actions of the SOHR. He wrote that the Syrian Obsevatory for Human Rights worked with U.S. funded NGOs and the Brits to overthrow the government in Libya. The Prime Minister in Libya is a BP oilman. The human rights abuse claims in Libya has been fabricated as well. The ICC and the United Nations rubber stamped the Wall Street/London design of regime change in Libya. The NATO campaign in Libya was genocidal (the evidence from Syria to justify the Libyan invasion was false). A corporate D.C. think tank used evidence too. The UN based the their whole primse for its Security Council Resolution 1973 based on certain reports (from western backed Libyan rebels and the NTC). One of these wild claims was that Gaddafi used jets on his own people to kill more than 6,000 unarmed people. This jet claim was needed as a key component in order to get a No Fly Zone included in Resolution 1973. The humanitarian issues were submerged under the goal of the West to seek regime change in Libya. Syria is experiencing the similar thing. The mainstream media is using NGOs in order to promote a NATO or NATO backed military intervention in Syria. Assad isn't perfect, but alternatives should be made for reforms in Syria (without an immediate war mongering response). Even the Arab League says that the opposition leaders are using violence against innocent people, yet CNN doesn't care. CNN desires a puppet pro-Western leader to replace Assad via violence. The opposition rebels killed 17 people in their attacks on military facilities (inside of the Syrian leader of Aleppo). The truth is that Syria is in a state of civil war. The plausibility of terrorists targeting the Syrian regime is perfectly viable given the fact that hundreds of Libyan rebels, commanded by Abdulhakim Belhadj, a committed jihadist who fought with the Taliban against U.S. troops in Afghanistan, were airlifted into Syria last November to aid the opposition in carrying out attacks against government forces.
The rebels murdered 30 people in Damascus in December of 2011. British Special Forces are advising the rebels. Why are Special Forces advising the rebels when the Special Forces are trained to kill people. Assad isn't perfect, but these rebels aren't heroes at all. These opposition fighters are killing innocent human beings and government personnel.


 CPAC is having their meeting. Many of the Republican politicans and candidates came into the meeting to speak their minds. They have a right to speak their minds publicly and likewise human beings have the right to criticize them. CPAC is allowing an extremist named Peter Brimelow to speak about muticulturalism. The problem in our nation has nothing to do with diveristy, but the corporatist subversion of American government. He is the friend of the blatant racist and eugenicst Tanton. Tanton is the godfather of the modern anti-immigration movement in America. Peter started FAIR that opposes even legal immigration. So, Peters agrees with less legal immigration. He promotes the lie that America is experiencing rapid population growth when America is experiencing normal population growth. He demonizes immigrants from Third World nations implying that European immigrants are superior than non-European immigrants. That's bogus on its face since all men are created equal. Also, immigrants from the Third World have made critical marks in American culture and American society. He classifies America's diversity of ethnicities as a sickness rather than a blessing. Peter needs to realize that America wasn't always mostly of his people. The original people of America were brutalized by you know who for illegitimate reasons. So, demographs of America change all of the time for various reasons. Brimelow's site also carries archives of columns from men like Sam Francis, the late editor of the newspaper of the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens, a group whose web page has described blacks as "a retrograde species of humanity." It has run articles by Jared Taylor, the editor of the white supremacist American Renaissance magazine, which specializes in dubious race and IQ studies and eugenics, the "science" of human "race betterment" through selective breeding. VDAR has an article by Marcus Epstein who assaulted a black sister and called her a racial slur. If this punk tried to do that in front of my face, I will react in a way that a real man will react. So, CPAC tries to support this man Peter including other reactionaries. The Council on National Policy is also alied with the CPAC conference. The CNP supports theocracy (that is pro-Dominionist), foreign militarism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and other items of controversy. CPAC will allow the apartheid nostagic group called the Youth for Western Civilization to speak. With people like that, no wonder a lot of folks aren't Republicans. They make moderates look far left. Santorum, Romney, Gingrich, and Paul should speak out against evil extremists like Peter Brimelow indeed. Now, there is nothing wrong with loving the nuclear family, respecting religious liberty, wanting real morality to exist in our culture, and to have a sense of family. Yet, it is wrong to believe that the federal government should discriminate unfairly against anyone of any background. People need to get rid of hate in their blood and promote reality in their minds. We live in a strange time when people like me are called wrong for us opposing the war on terror. Recent polls proves that the majority of Americans (even liberal Democrats) approve of the President killing citizens. This wouldn't be any different if the President was a Republican. To some folks, alliegance to the Democratic Party is more important than agreeing with true peace overseas. It is wrong to support the White House assassinating an American citizen overseas without a trial. It is wrong to imprison a citizen indefinitely based on the word of the President. It is wrong to launch a war without congressional approval and just on the word of the President. It is wrong for the President to mention that no option is off the table in dealing with Iran (that means military invasion is a possibility in dealing with Iran). I place life and death priorities above the interests of a political party. It certainly is hypocritical for some Democrats to disagree with Bush's policies on the war on terror (like supporting torture, violating habeas corpus, etc.), but agree with the very similar reactionary foreign policies of President Barack Obama. Likewise, it's hypocritical for the Republicans to claim that the current President is soft on foreign militarism, but President Barack Obama is politically identical to Bush on such matters. I am consistent. I opposed the abuses made by the George W. Bush administration. I oppose now the abuses made by the Barack Obama adminstration as well. Changes in our government is necessary to prevent these state abuses and an evil unjust war on terror from continuing to occur.



The mass media is now agreeing with transhumanism. Transhuman means many things like combining computers and human brains. Singularity deals with the goal of transhumanism in trying to make man God via fuurturistic technology. One of the biggest proponents of transhumanism is of course Ray Kurzweil. Movies, video games, and music videos promote the transhumanist agenda all of the time. News reports, television documentaries, and other sources of information promote transhumanism too. Kurzweil is working to create Singularity all of the time. For example, in February 2009, Kurzweil collaborated with Google and the NASA Ames Research Center, to create the Singularity University training center for corporate executives and government officials. The University’s self-described mission is to “assemble, educate and inspire a cadre of leaders who strive to understand and facilitate the development of exponentially advancing technologies and apply, focus and guide these tools to address humanity’s grand challenges." Transhumanism is one goal of the elite. Merging man with robots is an old goal, but the 21st century era has made it more acceptable. The U.S. National Science Foundation predicted 10 years ago predicted network enhanced telepathy (or sending thoughts across the Internet) by the 2020s. Neuroscientists in the University of California found words found out via electrical activity. Scientists are beginning to transform brainwaves into words. Human beings merging with machines might be the future. Since the 1960's, computer chips have cut their speed in half and their costs have been cut into half in 18 months (and so forth). If the trend continues, the inventor and predictor Ray Kurzweil has pointed out that by 2029 we will have computers powerful enough to run programs  reproducing the 10,000 trillion electrical signals that flash around your skull every second. They will also have enough memory to store the ten trillion recollections that make you  who you are. Darpa is leading research into transhumanism and neuroscience technology. It's ironic thate the elite has more concerns with technology and not the poor or the suffering in life's road.


There has been huge talk about the contraception issue. The White House wants a compromise with the Catholic organizations. Some conservative religious groups complained that the early plan called for religious employers to give employees birth control and Plan B including the morning after pill (that can cause abortions). The religious employers in the situation will not be required to give contraception to women. Private insurance companies will supply women with contraception free of charge. The compromise says that religious employers won't have to pay for birth control. Both sides will not like the compromise at all. I am not Catholic, so this issue is very much talked about mostly by religious conservatives. All private insurance companies can be required to supply women with birth control under this compromise. Women seeking contraceptives will not to pay co-pays. Many Catholics and religious conservatives don't like the compromise at all. The issue should be about women health issue and it's a health issue. There should be strong religious liberty in America. One of the reasons why America existed is because of the promotion of religious liberty. Now, I don't believe that people should be forced against their conscience to explicitly fund something against their religion. Yet, not all birth control causes abortion. Therefore, I have no issue with birth control that's non-abortive or non-abortaficient. Since the Bible does not address the issue of birth control and because situations for couples are different, I believe that birth control is not a sin -- provided it is not abortive (and provide that the motives to do so are wise and biblical). The Bible gives clear, direct guidance on many topics of morality, but not on birth control. Any inferences from the Bible are, of necessity, based on deductive reasoning and are subject to error. The Bible nowhere forbids all forms of birth control, either explicitly or implicitly, and we should not add universal rules that are not in Scripture. The Scriptures are a combination of literal truths and symbols (idioms, metaphors, and other concepts that ought not to be taken literaly, but spiritually shown to represent a basic truth). Legitimate means to regulate the size of family is a part of the freedom of living life. Of course, we should oppose eugenics, population control, and other evils. Also, a church dictating how many kids a person has is a clear violation of the freedom of conscience, and the freedom of religion.  I think there are dangers to pre-marital sex, but neither I nor any other real Christian in this country advocates making it illegal. Social issues are important to discuss and learn. Yet, far too often, reactionaries exploit social issues in order to prevent common ground among both sides (and to promote some pro-Dominionist theocracy). I don't want the government to control my life as Rick Santorum says. Yet, I don't want the government to dictate my religious beliefs either. I refuse to accept a theocracy.




It's obviously that the War on Drugs is failed. It's wrong to lock up human beings unfairly and the disparities of those in prison blatantly represent institutional racism. For the first time in a long while, folks from across the political spectrum acknowledge the failure of the War on drugs (and desire reforms to help the victims of poverty). Margaret Kimberly wrote the book: "The New Jim Crow" that eloquently described this issue in full detail. After LBJ passed various forms of legitimate civil rights legislation, the reactionary movement came back in full force. In the early 1960's, it was called the white backlash. By Nixon's time in 1969, it was the counterrevolution (or the Silent "Majority" in Richard Nixon's estimation). Mass incarceration has been a tactic of white supremacists to harm black progress. Now, in the prison industrial complex, not only are prisoners abused. Yet, many the prisoners leave jail (they've paid their debt to society), some of them are deprived basic human rights. Some can't vote because they are felonies. Sme lax job opportunities because they are felonies. This increases the risk of more crime. The evil Rockefeller laws decades ago contributed to the disparities of minorities in prison (and promoted criminal injustice against minorities plus the poor as well). 10 times the sentence for crack – sold to black and brown people and some poor whites – as opposed to cocaine (used in Boulder, Scarsdale and the like) is also racist in intent. The current economic system thrives on the prison system in order to exploit labor and increase profits for certain corporations. The prisons are paid slave wages period. The neo-conservatives interestingly enough desire a big state for the military industrial complex and for the prison system. There are many solutions to this Drug war and the prison industrial complex. We can free all prisons who experienced non-violent drug offenders. A person with mere possession shouldn't have 20 years in prison at all. There is nothing wrong with medical usage of marijuana for justified reasons. All mandatory sentences should be abolished. That means that there should be no 3 strike laws at all. There should be cuts to militarism and the police state. This money can fund our education system, our health, public works including infrastructure, and real jobs for Americans. We should eliminate disparities in sentencing.
