websites and block certain content from customers depending on how much
they pay to be connected? On Tuesday, a federal appeals court said yes.<br />
<br />
That ruling was handed down early Tuesday by way of a 2-1
decision in the United States Court of Appeals for the District
Columbia Circuit in Washington, DC, and those who’ve been
following the case closely say this week’s decision could have
colossal consequences for the way Americans access the internet." -<a href="http://rt.com/usa/fcc-verizon-net-neutrality-596/" target="_blank">sourced from rt.com [full article can be read here]</a> <br />

<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">Unfortunately this issue is not as new as it sounds; in 2011 Net Neutrality was struck down for the first time by our House of Representatives with the vote coming down to party lines as 15 republicans all voting to strike the rules against the 8 Democrats supporting them. </span></span><span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">However, the rules were not seen widely as regulations. In fact, the
rules were meant to protect consumers by insisting Internet Service Providers could not selectively block web traffic and ensuring all web
access was treated equally. So why is this law NOT being supported by our government? What does this mean for us? If the government no longer enforces the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_Open_Internet_Order_2010" target="_blank">Open Internet Order</a>, It means that the internet could be largely controlled by broadband companies and what content you are allowed to access could be determined by what Internet Service Provider you have, and organizations like the NSA can gain easier access to website tracking (and restricting) and data collecting (and restricting) under these ISPs simply because these companies are required (forced) to give this data to the NSA already.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">Here is a wonderful article from Marvin Ammori on the topic of the losing of Net Neutrality in the Opinions section of wired.com: http://www.wired.com/opinion/2013/11/so-the-internets-about-to-lose-its-net-neutrality/ </span></span><br />

<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span class="userContent">Once again our own US government is trying to
restrict and delegate our right to digital information and content, now to the highest bidder. Just like
SOPA/PIPA in 2012, we need to<span class="text_exposed_show"> stop government regulation of our right to the internet including our own digital privacy.</span></span> With this in light, a new movement has come into play, and it's one that needs to be supported by even the most ordinary of Americans to combat this sickness.</span></span> On February 11, a broad coalition of internet-involved organizations
will go online to protest massive electronic surveillance by various
governments. The protest was announced on the anniversary of Aaron Swartz’s
suicide and is dedicated to his memory. The software engineer and
online freedom activist took his life in 2013 amid prosecution
over alleged illegal downloading of a large number of academic
journal articles, the charges which could have landed him in jail
for up to 35 years. The protest coalition includes organizations holding high stakes
on online freedoms, like the open-source software developer
Mozilla Foundation, link aggregator Reddit and the digital rights
group Electronic Frontier Foundation.
The organizers hope to repeat the success of the internet
blackout against SOPA/PIPA bills. In January 2012 thousands of
websites, including Wikipedia, Reddit, Flickr and others, went
dark in a symbolic gesture to demonstrate, that the bills debated
at the time in the US Congress would ruin the internet as we know
it.<br />

An unemployed Caucasian couple welcomed their first-born son into reality to much fanfare across the Earth, go figure. Thousands of pounds(double entendre) of tea dumped into a harbor to protest taxation without representation by the crown, a few hundred years later and the dutiful serfs are gaga over the new royal plaything. This author has zero respect for any alleged "Monarchy". WE, HUMANITY, are not ruled by a crowned clown sitting pretty in opulent palaces. WE, HUMANITY, do not slave to serve thrones of any kind. Although there are many arguments to be made in contradiction of these statements, they are basic truths which should be upheld when regular humans begin lifting other regular humans to godlike status worthy of supreme adoration. A simple note for the no-longer-plebeian public, royalty is invalid.<br />
<br />
A second quick note. While reviewing recent prior posts, a post was penned detailing the Zimmerman/Martin fiasco and ultimately a conclusion was stated, a prediction was made. In my short writing career, I have scoured many varied data points attempting to gain a grasp on realities and current events, however I have hesitated to make definitive statements like the kind made in that post, for good reason. I am no Nostradamus, I do not peer into glass balls seeking the future, and rarely have my estimations yielded exact results. Predictions are best left to weatherpeople and prophets. <br />
It must be said though, the conclusion of the Zimmerman trial was enlightening. It displayed the raw power that black ink spilled upon pages years ago by rich, mostly white men can wield when attempting to apply to real life, fluid situations. Laws can be craftily written to exclude things or people. Sneaky loopholes that only a high paid tax attorney would have the wherewithal to properly apply are left couched within codified regulation, there for those that can, do and will benefit from. Interestingly, a law can be crafted in such a way as to actually ALLOW MURDER! It is not in my job description to further race bait and beg for justice, it is in my job description however to LEARN. Instead of allowing your emotions to flood an overtaxed mind, keep your calm and take in your surroundings. It is an historic day when one can proclaim that a most heinous human action -perhaps the most egregious punishment one human can foist upon another- is not only legal, but enshrined as a right. Take that and chew on it for a while.<br />
Now that the bad taste is in full effect, another comment on the above. The previous Zim/Martin post aimed to show what the actual point of all the media coverage was. It was not for justice, it was not in defense of justice either. It was primarily used as a dividing tool, a way to drive a wedge between humans and other humans. Divide and Conquer, no matter how stale and cliche its use might be is complete truth here, total reality-based strategy. The people, sufficiently incensed cannot enjoin hands and march toward actual freedom or justice. People are fed a festering plate of racism and confusion, and act accordingly. <br />
I will not further the racebait idea by displaying it for your consumption, however one can easily search and learn the details. Race-based attacks occurred in many places after the verdict was read. Old white joggers getting decked, flashmob beatdowns and the like. This WAS the point of the trial, or rather, the wide and obsessive media coverage of it. And the strategy worked like a charm. The outrage may as of yet reached feverpitch, or perhaps the 24/7 news cycle has already washed human minds of yesterdays bloviation, but the utility of media coverage placed in the "right" hands is undeniable.<br />
<br />
A third and final note, that of whistleblowing, and the spies who love us. A quick stroll through local and even national news comment sections is both disgusting and depressing. Many have differing ideas about where the polity went wrong. Where and when Americans completely forgot what being an American was about, what legal rights Americans used to have, and about the role and scope of the government that works for us. There is a mental sickness that infected many, many Americans and fooled them into firmly believing that they don't have any right to privacy where "national security" is involved. Bush really worked over the Right during his tenure, and Obama made the Left accept it. People have been PTSD'ed into giving up liberty, and giving it away with a smile. This is shown by numerous Americans calling for blood and death for two heroic whistleblowers. It is simply atrocious to watch humans argue about how bad the punishment should be for someone guilty of: releasing information<u><b> proving that the government is completely out of control, completely destroying constitutional protections that have been enshrined and codified for hundreds of years</b></u>. This is akin to the Zimmerman/Martin thought experiment. People are shown exactly how bad the government has become, people have been shown exactly the lengths the government has gone to obscure, cover up, and keep secret its level of illegality, and its many programs of illegality. And the response to showing exactly why the government programs are wrong, illegal, overreaching, overly broad, illegal, and unconstitutional is: punish the messenger, and punish them now, and punish them hard. Not even a second of examination is given to the claims made, only thoughts about how to restore order, how to further worship and protect our valiant and fearless protectorate racket. It is a defining moment in U.S. history: Americans have completely given up on the idea of liberty. No FEMA internment camps are needed, the government has a firm stranglehold on the American psyche, and it is only getting worse. <br />
Of course there are plenty of dissenting, rational voices out there who are speaking out against this, but they are no longer a majority. A large number of Americans have been poisoned by the ideology of authority worship, and the collective mental sickness is on display for all to see. Someone risking their life and limb to simply INFORM the populace about potential(and existing) criminality is someone to be praised. Someone will literally rot in a human cage for the rest of their natural life, only for an effort of sharing truth. Bizarro world is in full effect now, this is the new reality. The specter of physical cages or threats of punishment pale in comparison to the diseased consciousness which pervades the new America.<br />
<br />
This is the New American Century.<br />

<br />
While watching the keynote speech of the 29c3 by Jacob Appelbaum he mentioned that one of the most important, if not, the most important talks of the conference is this talk here. A panel of 3 whistleblowers and truth tellers, Jesselyn Radack, Thomas Drake and William Binney tell their accounts of their first hand experiences while working within the US government and how they (US government) planned and even implemented programs and actions that not only violated privacy but our basic rights as humans and our constitutional rights. I downloaded this speech and listened to it while I was at work so I never had the proper opportunity to view the slides they showed to the audience. Jacob was absolutely right. This is such an important talk. I was shocked by what I was hearing (listen as she mentions American Al Qaeda.) There is plenty more and one of the most stunning accounts from this talk was Thomas Drake's analysis of data and how we use it and how the government (NSA) can get a hold of it.<br />
<br />
Alot of what they refer to are personal accounts that really hit your heart. Between the FBI raiding homes and pointing guns at children to being black balled for telling the truth. This talk has opened my eyes even further and it truly is frightening. But what this video does not show is the Q&A with this panel. Even though fear lingers in my spine these people talk with such light and optimism (more blatantly in the Q&A.) Luckily the audio (<a href="http://mirror.fem-net.de/CCC/29C3/mp3-audio-only/29c3-5338-en-enemies_of_the_state_mp3.mp3">full presentation: audio only</a>) has this. It also brings hope that there are people out there that will not stand down when freedoms and rights are thrown out the window.These people bring great information and hope. The people will rise and the government should be frightened. This is a very important talk for every person who resists or who wants to learn about what their government is doing to them and their natural lives.<br />

In solidarity with the movement and protests against CISPA, Trials, Tribulations and Maniacal Manipulations will go dark for 24 hours. The vast blackness you see before you is indicative of the type of chilling effect CISPA and further infringements upon personal liberty and privacy could contribute to. The largest spying apparatus on Earth still has an appetite to vacuum more of everyones information wherever it deems possible. Previous efforts have been defeated, but the criminals are still moving forward.

Since its political inception, the United States government has been bound by a codex of rights retained by citizens, rights that cannot be infringed upon. The Constitution is a set of rules meant to curb governmental abuses and to ensure that men and women remain in personal life generally free from the paws of power. The really surprising notion is just how far the government will go to abridge these rights, to restrict them, to defile the code that was implemented to restrain them. Once a government is legitimated and instituted, it must struggle and fight for its survival. A government, like an organism is concerned primarily with self-preservation. Individual liberty has clearly taken a back seat to this first directive, and the road toward tyranny continues unabated. In some instances, the sophisticated rulers are even able to concoct public outcry in a direction suiting not liberty, but the thirst for governmental control. People in American society today are plagued by a severe lack of understanding about their own rights, and the rights that their supposed rulers trample upon and usurp. Many are simply disinterested in these concepts, whether the distraction is professional sports or fashionista fancy. In a free society, this type of blame can only be carried so far. The schizophrenic nature of freedom affords humans self-determination. It is not illegal to ignore the bread and circus extravaganza on display, and one cannot blame another for missing the utility of understanding and comprehension. Society is under a constant assault whose objective is to accomplish a level of disinterest and apathy. The two wings on the same bird of prey work wonders, allowing outrage and political difference to be neatly quarantined on one or the other side of "the fence". The importance of this cannot be overstated. There is a real problem with political apathy, but there is another clear and present danger residing in those who vociferously defend the system which continues to restrict and impinge their liberty.<br />There are many that even claim to respect liberty and the "law of the land", while being simultaneously manipulated into defaming and destroying it. If the attacks of September 11th provided any learning opportunity, it would be found in how societal psychology can be toyed with and manipulated to swallow the most heinous outrages with very little resistance. In some cases, a majority of the population can be made to practically beg for new rules or restrictions. This is a very dangerous moment in human history. It appears as an apex or a bell curve, a visual graph showing the amplitude and frequency of liberty versus tyranny. In the beginning, future United States citizens had to rebel completely against their rulers in a violent revolution. And after that, the rules and regulations foisted upon the concept of government were produced almost as a reaction to what the founders saw as transgressions by a foreign and illegitimate ruler. This was the beginning of the bell curve rocketing skyward. Never before had the world seen that degree of personal liberty and governmental restraint codified in an official document, much less followed by the government built to defend it. Surely there were previous victories, and there will also be future victories, if society today can heal a nasty spat of political amnesia. <br />Somewhere along that bell curve, perhaps it was the cold war. Perhaps it was the Vietnam quagmire, or the Iraq quagmire. We may even thank the great Emmanual Goldstein himself, Osama Bin Laden for helping convince government to destroy their basis of power and prestige on the world stage. The alleged operation by Osama Bin Laden alone could not have perceivably accomplished a fraction of the damage done to greater society without help from the INSIDE. This is a curious concept to explore, the idea that a significant attack can occur and affect the leadership so greatly that they begin destroying their own freedom. Like the parasite who invades the brain of a cricket and convinces it to drown, so that the parasite may escape and live on. The parasite Bin Laden accomplished far more than he was given credit for. Sure, the September 11th attacks were horrific and severely damaging to the American Psyche. The attacks even managed to kill three buildings with two stones. But political leadership used the attacks as a pretext to instigate a dismantling of some of the most important protections that exist anywhere on Earth. Thanks to parasitical politicians on every side of the aisle, people are willing more and more to assent to government, no matter how dangerous to personal liberty it may be. <br />This brings us to the main point. Freedom of speech is quickly becoming a lost refuge. All arms of government race toward a total surveillance society. You have the freedom to speak to a friend on the phone, but you do not have the right to that conversation being private. You have the freedom to open an email account, and to utilize it to communicate to persons of your choosing. But you no longer have any assumed right to privacy of communication. The Constitution plainly states our freedoms, while government plainly marches on destroying them. Your freedom of speech now includes government data warehouses being built to store every byte, every word, every whisper. Your freedom of speech now includes an array of info-warriors thrust into social networks to GUIDE the CONVERSATION. To put out ideological fires in the minds of men. To manipulate people at the whim of the government agent and the greater governing structure. As Patreus' recent adventures prove, not even the highest seated authorities are safe from the ruthless intelligence apparatus. The freedom of speech alone has been shown to take down a human regardless of their position in society. It is important to continue asking yourself if you are really free. Do you really have the liberty to say what you feel? Do you have the unfettered ability to communicate with and convince another person to take a deeper look into the issues of today? Do I have the ability to freely write? It appears that way. However, I cannot freely post my ideas to be digested by an untainted pool of opinion. I also do not have the freedom to be ignored. If the post contains enough keywords, someone will come lurking to make sure I didn't fall off my rocker, AND THEY DO! Perhaps they will see my words and label me as someone to be watched, someone to be investigated. All because I sit here arguing about FREEDOM. Releasing each word into the madness of virtual reality as a testament to freedom slowly dying. As I sit in the eroded plains of a democratic republic, I watch the facebook and microsoft bots come to scrape their(MY) data, and look at the interesting and nefarious array of IPs who arrive to come taste this brand of free thinking. Or this dangerous and rebellious exercise against authority. I am powerless as one person to stop the terrorist-roar of tyrannical surveillance, but do not assume for a second that I would fail to display the same level of appreciation for you. You watch us, we most certainly will continue to watch you. <br />reflux the chemisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03586008618641621084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059666656018046809.post-31848541656280547592013-03-21T19:07:00.000-06:002013-04-26T18:04:59.065-06:00Christopher Dorner: Sapiens-Hunt or, Elephant Exorcism?The treatment of the bloodthirsty, <i>animalistic</i> Dorner story has been interesting. Manifesto hijinx plentiful. So many probabilities and ways to spin this to <i>serve the agenda</i>. Gun control and other platforms asserted by 'manhunted', downplayed or ignored? Ignoring because its ranting and raving by a lunatic? Ignoring to protect and <i>serve</i>? Protect those <i>serving</i>. Hunt they who endanger those serving to protect. Hunting any who commit the supreme crime considerably higher than that of normal human-on-human murd3r, that of the C0p persuasion. Bringing out the heavies, pulling out all stops to track and capture this so-called 'animal'. <br />
<br />
Now that this story has simmered for a few days, a few ideas regarding this media event have materialized. Some have questioned the LAPD's role in Dorner's firing. Some have questioned the use of drones to track down suspected criminals. And that damning police scanner audio is another useful aspect of this story. Suspected is an interesting and important keyword to recall later. Surely there are questions that must be asked. Although justice will never be accomplished in this case. <br />
<br />
When I state that justice will never be served, I imagine a voice countering with "Justice was served though. Dorner is dead. End of story". But what exactly is justice then? Is it public satisfaction? Is it a statement by police that justice was served? A statement by the media? Is it a personal belief or feeling of accomplishment? Is justice served when the accused is put to death without being given their day in court? Even the Baghdad Queen Hussein was given a proper trial, and subsequent execution, and that was in IRAQ! Perhaps some context is required to fill out these definitions and better complete the word picture.. <br />

Now for a quick and filthy primer on the Magna Carta..<br />
From wikipedia.org, <br />
<i>"The 1215 charter required King <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_of_England" title="John of England">John of England</a> to proclaim certain liberties and accept that his will was not <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary" title="Arbitrary">arbitrary</a>—for example by explicitly accepting that no "freeman" (in the sense of non-<a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serf" title="Serf">serf</a>) could be punished except through the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_land" title="Law of the land">law of the land</a>, a right that still exists.</i><br />
<i>
</i><i>Magna Carta was the first document forced onto a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_monarchs" title="List of English monarchs">King of England</a> by a group of his subjects, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_feudal_barony" title="English feudal barony">feudal barons</a>, in an attempt to limit his powers by law and protect their privileges. It was preceded and directly influenced by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter_of_Liberties" title="Charter of Liberties">Charter of Liberties</a> in 1100, in which King <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_I_of_England" title="Henry I of England">Henry I</a> had specified particular areas wherein his powers would be limited."</i>The Magna Carta was a critical document in the centuries-long fight for civil liberty. The king was forced to admit and adhere to a doctrine stating that his will, his word, is NOT immutable or free from question or challenge. The United States of America regards herself as the beacon of hope in a skyline of darkness. The United States is supposed to be a country whose governing figures are bound by a code. A colorblind codex of justice and reason. But all of these holy and high concepts mean nothing when civil victories from eight centuries past are ignored, all in pursuit of JUSTICE.<br />
<br />
I suppose that the LAPD murdering Chris Dorner technically does fall under one of the definitions for justice, ' The administering of deserved punishment or reward', however definitions are a tricky matter.. Chris Dorner's death could be considered justice, or justified, if indeed the punishment or reward was deserving. But here the contradictions are plainly evident. One cannot assert that punishment was justly administered unless the justice system is allowed to operate and deduce the verity of claims against a suspect. There is a rule of law for a reason. The rule of law and the machinations of the justice system are there as a matter of reason. Suspects have rights under the law because they have not yet been proven or condemned guilty. When those processes occur(this is not to say that this system is perfect, it has its problems) at least one could make a claim that a reasoned process occurred and that justice was sought and attained in a justified manner.It is not legal to burn down a neighbor's home because you simply SUSPECT they stole something. It should not be legal to burn down a SUSPECT in boiling blood for suspected transgressions. As it turns out, there is even a basis for protection against this manner of violence in international law, for whatever thats worth.. "Fucking Burning This Motherfucker" preemptively without trial or negotiation, that 'motherfucker' has been robbed of justice, whether he was a terrorist, a thief, or even a suspected cop killer. <br />
<br />
The real danger made apparent by this story is not even the civilian operation of drones in American territory, although this fact is definitely high up on the concern scale. The real danger lies in public worship of those in positions of authority. That full public confidence is given to a police force whose body count by the end of the fugitive battle almost equalled the SUSPECTED killer's. The idea that the police, or the politicians, or the military generals KNOW BETTER simply because of their position in the stratum of society. [Sensible American Voice] Well, we know Chris Dorner committed those crimes because the police are chasing him, the chase is justified. The fugitive chase is justified, the cops murdering innocent bystanders in their pursuit is justified, and the eventual order to murder a SUSPECT was also justified, because after all, he did it, right? The excuse given by the LAPD regarding terminology and mistaken public understanding of it is absolutely weak and ridiculous. The impassioned roar from the brave cop, I believe it went something like "Fucking burn this motherfucker!" is all the examination necessary to flout claims of confusion. It is also worthy to note that in the entire Dorner drama, from early reporting to the untimely murder of Dorner, no civilians were injured by Dorner. Some can make the argument that his first two alleged victims were civilians and innocent. Civilians, not exactly. Innocent, clearly one does not advocate that these murders were justified, or that Dorner was necessarily innocent. But it was never proven in court. In the courts of justice. In a system of justice. There was no justice in this story, not for Dorner, not for the LAPD, and not for the innocent civilians gunned down by panicked patrollers. <br />
<br />
A final thought on this. The Dorner story is novel in that his manifesto stated his intentions, and his intentions were directly aimed at law enforcement. During his claimed fugitive adventures, he crossed paths with at least two different groups of civilians he could have easily killed or damaged far more severely (no disrespect to any of the victims either). It is notable that he did not. His actions appear in accordance with his manifesto dictates, consider this..<br />
While P.O.s may believe they are above the law, and superior, they are not. Many, if not most officers in L.E. are probably decent and ethical people. There are some that get away with dirty deeds, miscarriages of justice, mistaken identity tragedy but they are constrained by law and civil procedure. This discussion is not necessarily about any specific outrages, but more about a culture being drenched by a lake of authoritarian ideology and deference based upon location on the authority power pyramid. One who becomes an officer of law enforcenment agrees to payment to perform a service: serve and protect. A police officer is allowed conscious choice, they can decide to or not to write a ticket, to discontinue chasing a SUSPECT when there is significant danger to the public. I do not care how far up the pyramid one resides in the authoritarian paradigm, reality is reality. This was not a cavalier, dashing rescue or protection mission for lowly civilian life. The police were keenly aware of the threat Dorner posed to THEM, the threat had to be neutralized. Sure, the public can be warned and made to worry about the merciless, morally-abject killer on the loose, but evidence in this case bears out that not being the truth. Dorner went after who he thought was the monster. The residual mess left by the LAPD is what happens when their protected, superior, AUTHORITARIAN class is threatened, and makes me question the definition of monstrosity. And although I state these claims about police being equals to every other human, in the blind eye of justice, another truth is revealed... <br />
<br />
<i>"In 2005, The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that police do not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm." </i>-Wikipedia.org<br />
<br />
This is the perfect statement of clarity on authority and rule of law. Police do not have a constitutional duty to protect a <i>person</i> from harm, but be damned scared when one of their own is threatened. <br />

Early yesterday, the world was informed of the untimely death of their beloved Venezuelan President, freedom fighter, and military leader, Hugo Rafael Chavez. Chavez has fought many battles throughout his lifetime, namely his battle with political corruption and his final two year battle with cancer. It was in his younger years, mainly through literature, that <span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px;">Chávez began to have his doubts about the army and their methods in using torture.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px;"> At the same time, he was becoming increasingly critical of the corruption in both the army and in the civilian government, coming to believe that despite the wealth being produced by the country's oil reserves, Venezuela's poor masses were not receiving their share, something he felt to be inherently un-democratic. In doing so, he began to sympathise with the Red Flag Party (do your research) and their cause, if not their violent methods. And so, in 1977, h</span>e founded a revolutionary movement within his military career in the hope that he could one day introduce a leftist government to Venezuela: the Venezuelan People's Liberation Army (ELPV). Five years after his creation of the ELPV, Chávez went on to form a new secretive cell within the military, the Bolivarian Revolutionary Army-200 (EBR-200), later redesignated the Revolutionary Bolivarian Movement-200 (MBR-200).<br />
<br />
He would go on to organize (and unfortunately lose) Operation Zamora (1992) of which Chavez and a small group of rebels attempted to intercept and take custody of then President Carlos Andres Perez, the candidate of the centrist Democratic Action Party, who was elected President after promising to oppose the United States government's Washington Consensus and financial policies recommended by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Nevertheless, he did neither once he got into office, following instead the neoliberal economic policies supported by the United States and the IMF. He dramatically cut spending, and put prominent men in governmental posts. A debate soon developed in the Bolivarian movement as to whether it should try to take power in elections or whether it should instead continue to believe that military action was the only effective way of bringing about political change.
Chávez was a keen proponent of the latter view, believing that the oligarchy would never allow him and his supporters to win an election, whilst Francisco Arias Cárdenas instead insisted that they take part in the representative democratic process. Cárdenas himself proved his point when, after joining the Radical Cause socialist party, he won the December 1995 election to become governor of the oil-rich Zulia State.<br />
<br />
Subsequently changing his opinion on the issue, Chávez and his supporters in the Bolivarian movement decided to found their own political party, the Fifth Republic Movement (MVR) in July 1997 in order to support Chávez's candidature in the Venezuelan presidential election of 1998. And in that year, Hugo Chavez found himself the victor and served the Venezuelan people for 14 years, being reelected once again in January of this year, giving his nation constitutional reform, resistance against the CD and it's "democratic" opposition, and established as Chavez put it, "Socialism of the 21st century".
<br />
<br />
Chavez' legacy will live on through his people for what we can only hope will be for all time. A report on Chavez' death on the 'Russian Times' news station speculated the future of Venezuela with a poll which stated "Now that Hugo Chavez has died, Venezuela will..." with the following voting results:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: white;">7%</span> - "Be led towards a more moderate stance by Maduro"<br />
<span style="color: white;">16%</span> - "Descend into chaos as a new power struggle emerges"<br />
<span style="color: white;">46%</span> - "Carry on as before, led by Vice President Nicolas Maduro"<br />
<span style="color: white;">31%</span> - "Fall to the US-backed opposition"<br />
<br />
Here are some links from the Russian Times website in relation to what's to come for the nation of Venezuela this year:<br />

With renewed, 'serious discussion' about gun control, citizens are willingly and with open arms reaching toward tantalizing theme songs bleating from the orifices of our fearless leaders. These songs are marked by promises of protection, of safety, of a bravery-laden strategy that will assure "no tragedy such as: X,Y, or Z EVER happening again". And said citizens would be foolish to believe any leader in the polity who ventures to promise such a fantasy.<br />
The cold hard truth about existing on planet Earth is the truth of survival, and death. As far as any scientist can tell, even the infinite universe eventually comes to an end point. By being birthed into this reality, one simple premise must be accepted: life is temporary. Existence is guaranteed to no one. Those who somehow hit the universes' genetic jackpot are granted existence which can be taken, revoked, or simply forced into expiration at any moment. While these facts are absolute, it should be said that all of this reinforces the beauty and importance of the fragile human experience. Life is extremely improbable if viewed from a severely scaled-back macro-view of the universe. We are still struggling to find other forms of life in our own cosmic backyard. Because of the supreme fragility of life, personal protection is incumbent upon each organism. If viewed as natural selection, the organisms must struggle in its surroundings and fight for life, and those most suited to excel in the environment are able to procreate and extend their genetics into tomorrow. But today, humans have excelled beyond the simplicity of natural selection. With the advent of medicine, agricultural methods, and harnessing technology humanity has created a new paradigm where each day humans escape natural selection. Asthmatic children who may not have survived beyond childhood are aided by medicinal methods to allow them to breathe. Many diseases and illnesses have been beaten back by human ingenuity. However, the fragility of life has only been made less fragile than before, the simple fact of ultimate survival remains the same.<br />
With all the above considered, humans must still ensure their own protection in the chaotic universe. No law can stop someone from ending their own life. No law can physically halt a person from grabbing a rock and striking another person. Laws are like window curtains. They look beautiful draped across the window, having the ability to mask sunlight, or to allow it in. They can be made colorful and loud, or subtle and silent. But curtains will never stop the suns nuclear reactions. In the same way, laws will never completely stop the horrible causes and consequences of crime. No politician has the ability to guarantee one life, although by some feat of sardonic comedy they have the ability to snuff it out. This is where real danger lies. In militaries unleashed upon native populations to savage and destroy their landscapes. In police forces where normal humans are inculcated with a level of illusory power over other humans. In politicians who are inculcated with a different and superior kind of illusory power, that of control over every human in their sphere of influence.<br />
Humans should take pause and consider these statements against the actions of politicians. Politicians have no real control over society except the extent to which their fantasy is accepted. And while they can make no real difference, they are eager to make humanity believe in them. They also eagerly legislate new societal remedies for public consumption. Politicians ultimately cannot ever promise or stop death, because they are not allowed currently and are unable to stop life. With life comes trade offs. With life comes the balancing of resources, environmental and biological factors against an infinity of probabilities. With life comes uncertainty.<br />
In life, not even a single can person can ensure their own survival, they can only struggle ever-vigilant with this aim in mind. And for this reason, any attempt that impedes or diminishes an individual's ability to protect his or her own life should be disputed, dispelled and discarded. In this brave new world, the president of the United States can murder anyone on Earth without even a shadow of scrutiny or a sliver of justification. Humans are completely on their own, and must retain the responsibility of ultimate self-preservation strictly to the self. Humans cannot promise other humans anything when it comes to the cosmic covenant. Do not run in vain to other humans who promise you the dream of unfettered existence, it doesn't exist.reflux the chemisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03586008618641621084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059666656018046809.post-15494960999292078192013-02-06T17:46:00.001-07:002013-04-26T18:04:59.056-06:00[LEAKED] Obama's Rules for Assassinating American CitizensA happy belated New Year to all of you. Here is our very first post for the 2013 year and also let's go ahead and welcome our very own President Barack Obama back for another term! In 2008, America made a drastic change by electing it's first African American president into the Oval Office. From then on, we have all been very excited with the promising hopes of change, looking forward to a future with no more war, no more poverty and no more economic suffrage, debt and dependency. And yet here we are...four years later and we are still looking for that change. Throughout the course of this man's term however, Obama has made some stunning achievements as president; health care reform was finally passed, the stimulus package & Wall Street reform was passed, he turned around the auto industry, generally improved America's image and did many other things that if you wish to know about, <a href="http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/march_april_2012/features/obamas_top_50_accomplishments035755.php">you can find out about right here.</a> Now, as you're reading through that list, make sure you read and understand very carefully what some of those achievements really consist of. For example, his 21st achievement "Tightened Sanctions on Iraq". I'm not going to get into excruciating detail about any of these simply because that's not what this post is about, but you have to really THINK and UNDERSTAND what "achievements" we are really celebrating. I'm sure many of you would also approve of his fourth and maybe his fifth achievement, something about ending the War in Iraq is what it's talking about (and what we generally believe) right?
Anyways, this post is to celebrate his newest achievement that was just leaked to NBC news yesterday; a secretish 16-page white paper from the Department of Justice that was provided to select members of the Senate last June. This paper, certainly a shock to read, is discussing the Obama Administration’s most secretive and controversial polices: its dramatically increased use of drone strikes against Al-Qaida suspects, including those aimed at American citizens, such as the September 2011 strike in Yemen that killed alleged Al-Qaida operatives Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan. Both were U.S. citizens who had never been indicted by the U.S. government nor charged with any crimes. The confidential Justice Department “white paper” introduces a more expansive definition of self-defense or imminent attack than described by Brennan or Holder in their public speeches. It refers, for example, to what it calls a “broader concept of imminence” than actual intelligence about any ongoing plot against the U.S. homeland. Instead, it says, an “informed, high-level” official of the U.S. government may determine that the targeted American has been “recently” involved in “activities” posing a threat of a violent attack and “there is no evidence suggesting that he has renounced or abandoned such activities.” The memo does not define “recently” or “activities.”
Below, you can go ahead and read this white paper yourself. And a special thanks to Mike Riggs for making this information public.

So, within four years, Obama has dramatically decreased the number of US troops and military forces in foreign regions but has not decreased the ever-tightening grip of "American Democracy". We may not be there physically, but our military is constantly providing the Middle East with unmanned predator drone strikes and, while doing so, constantly playing out the same political game that ANY politician (white or black) would be doing, and that's promising the citizens of this country the freedoms that are briefly mentioned in every speech but never fully redeemed upon while maintaining a strong, democratic "service" to all foreign nationals, and now, we are extending that service to our very own foreign nationals! Four more years of freedom & change for all! *choke*Malicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10398075759928472296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059666656018046809.post-52094796736005226662012-06-18T21:18:00.000-06:002013-04-26T18:04:59.078-06:00Logic, Emotion, Terror, and Blindness<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CHsoPPynIIc" width="420"></iframe><br />

Terrorism has been defined graciously by the mass media, which feeds our zombified brains on a daily basis in an unhealthy time frame of quickness and vague details. We want to accept that these people who deliver this info are reliable and would tell us the truth. Did they tell you about the bombs we dropped on a Palestinian family late last night? They did, did they. Did they tell you what the bombs carried? Oh, they failed to tell you the true facts? So they failed to mention that they dropped white phosphorus and depleted uranium on an innocent family with an unmanned predator drone. That is what Terrorism is. For the mere thousands (1,000-3,000) of US citizens killed in 9/11 we kill more than 10,000+ people in the middle east and this number keeps growing and is probably bigger than we think.<br />
<br />
This is happening because of Imperialism. This has always been the agenda of United States since 1945 as they have attempted to overthrow over 50 foreign governments from Vietnam to Cuba. None of which have been a direct threat to the country and freedom of it's people (corporations) but has been a constant resistance to their Imperialist vision. One of the United States biggest enemies of the modern age is not the stone throwing guerrilla warriors of Palestine but the Left Wing views of three Latin American countries and their leaders: Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, Evo Morales of Bolivia and Rafael Correa of Ecuador. These leaders have been fairly and democratically elected by the people of these countries for their polices that, unlike the US, reflect the will of their own people. But, at the same time, they are going against the wishes of the United States and the CIA. Only in the United States and lets not forget the 51st state Israel would it would be wrong to support your own people. In essence of humanity, we must continue to support these three leaders and oppose the polyarchy that is conservative thinking in the United States today.<br />
<br />
Supporting left wing ideals and resisting capitalist thievery can help benefit not only ourselves but those around us. They are the reason why the poor become poorer and rich are allowed to steal from our hard work. It wouldn't hurt yourself to become knowledgeable on not only the facts that they hide but the underground tactics that will help you take direct action against this tyranny. The time to rise up and fight is NOW! Not later when they kill more children, not later when your living conditions become worse than they are. The time is right now. Think for yourself next time someone, like the news reporters, tells you a lie in support of an Imperialist disease.Moxihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01752414391558003500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059666656018046809.post-12255490936536736642012-05-09T22:50:00.000-06:002013-04-26T18:04:59.031-06:00Revolution and Imperialism<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/20auQxxKkTg?rel=0" width="560"></iframe>Moxihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01752414391558003500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059666656018046809.post-12601381794765499362012-05-07T13:45:00.000-06:002013-04-26T18:04:59.051-06:00Not Every Zionist Is Jewish And Not Every Jew is a Zionist.<iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/EfVwVuYbOlU?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
These days it seems people feel the answer to their problems is solved by Zionism or Nationalism. Nothing really makes me cringe more than people hiding under the flag of their nation and talking wrong about innocent people, like the Palestinian people. It never ceases to amaze me the Racism, the hatred and the ignorance of people who feel entitled and who feel superior to their fellow man. I don't understand how a pot smoking teenager, who feels that authority is out to get him, would agree with right wing policies and support destruction of a nation that they no nothing about. Their father has money, he never has to work, and therefore would never understand what it would be like to live paycheck to paycheck or be human for that matter.<br />
<br />
I don't think there is a cure for blindness of the mind and spirit. So how is it that myself and my brothers Malice and Blixfatal (Reflux) broke through the veil? There really isn't an answer to this unless they would like to elaborate. How could anyone really support something, such as government, that does not in anyway care for their own people? This may be a mystery until the end of days. Everyday my hope and faith for humanity dwindle and these days it seems that it is about to run out. Preachers of peace keep hostile actions and thoughts with them and no matter how many years pass by them, if anything, the unnecessary words of hate and intolerance seem to grow. They never let go. We take to much, we expect no less than perfection. So when something tilts slightly against their thought process, we turn to Theism and blind rage.<br />
<br />
Shut your fucking mouth and open your eyes. There is no acceptance for killing and for demeaning anyone around you. Corporations and the government won't protect you. Your nation or their flag will not stop a bullet from hitting your pathetic heart. Arm yourself with knowledge and rise up for the truth.<br />

There are certain news stories spotlighted and reinforced by the media to meet a specific end. Whether or not the talking heads who reinforce, regurgitate and reiterate media memes know what they are doing, those who orchestrate the mass mainstream consciousness are witting perpetrators perpetuating themes and underlying assumptions in news coverage. <br />
<br />
The fervor began with the news stories circulating that a non-black man shot a black teenager armed only with a hoodie, skittles and iced tea. At face value, the crime appears to be pure murder. Slowly additional facts trickle out. Zimmerman: a self-proclaimed guardian of the community, deputy member of a NON-SANCTIONED Neighborhood watch program, walking and protecting the streets, a Floridians first line of defense. Zimmerman, a man who, after a simple startpage.com search was shown to have been a ridiculous, almost crazed fanatic bent on phoning 911 at the slightest provocation (I read that he had called 911 50 times previously, all of them leading to nothing, feel free to correct if this is wrong).<br />
<br />
And then there is Trayvon Martin. 17 year old black kid with a boyish face and a penchant for sweatshirts with hoods, skittles and iced tea. With the breakneck speed quickness of the mainstream media, there were immediately different pictures of Martin plastered across glowing television sets across the United States and beyond. The immediate details of his crime became apparent, innocently walking home until fervent protector Zimmerman took the law into his own hands and decided to gun down the unarmed teenager in the dark of night, seemingly unprovoked. The media memes swirled over and over, how could this innocent, cherub-like child have possibly initiated a battle to the death, with as innocent a mission as going to a convenience store for candy. This is where the media really kicked into overdrive, selectively releasing conflicting information over the next weeks of the tragedy and coverage therein.<br />
<br />
The first fishy fact was released early on in the case, that being Zimmerman, as a "neighborhood watch captain" was not with any neighborhood watch program registered in the community. The "fact" that Zimmerman was a neighborhood watch captain/deputy/dimwit/vigilante was and is reinforced with vicious repetition. The fact that he was not registered in the community with a legitimized neighborhood watch program was not. This distortion is critical to a media narrative, now with a racially charged angle on the attack, I think members in the media deem it important to repeat this farce if and when Zimmerman is ultimately exonerated: Zimmerman was just a good citizen of the community looking out for its well-being against the night terrors on the attack. He sure did yeomans duty with this murder.<br />
<br />
The next media distortions all arrived amidst a confused and muddled narrative. First the 911 call is released, then subsequent additional audio is released without creative editing. The narrative at what I would call the 2nd quarter, is in Americans trying to understand why this act was committed, through listening to these calls. The 911 calls were the first tangible eyewitness account, if Zimmerman's words are not accepted.The Zimmerman 911 call is actually far more illuminating to his state of mind than it is a cut and dry clarification on what really occurred. My analyzation of this phone call amounted to Zimmerman not necessarily being a racist hell-bent on violence and death, but of a borderline mentally handicapped man with a mallcop mentality, taking justice into his own hands. Zimmerman laments that "these assholes always get away" and proceeds to follow a man deemed a potential suspect, merely for being suspicious looking and in Zimmermans wheelhouse, so eager to catch his prey. Against repeated orders by the phone operator to stand down, to discontinue pursuit, to not follow or engage with the suspect, Zimmerman persevered and continued pursuit. I believe firmly that Zimmerman attained the results he so glibly thirsted for. Zimmerman may not be intelligent enough to have concocted a scheme to bait Martin into attacking him, I don't grant him that much credit. However a few things are clear through the information already released.<br />
<br />
Zimmerman was itching to catch a criminal, to get someone punished for perceived attacks upon his community. Zimmerman had a track record of harassing 911 without producing any real results for law enforcement. Martin, while his past has now been dragged into the zeitgeist and many have attempted to slander his character through claims of marijuana use and physical violent confrontations, was, at first an innocent bystander, truly moving through the neighborhood to obtain candy. Beyond this, the story becomes shrouded and convoluted and will be likely impossible to clarify without an additional eyewitness who can back up or refute Zimmerman's claims of self defense. <br />
<br />
As it stands now, it is an extremely unfortunate fact that Martin was gunned down, whether in self defense or the most heinous of cold blooded murder. Whether or not Zimmerman was the innocent bystander, a stalwart community protector purely defending it, he was absolutely in the wrong for suspecting a black kid of being a thief simply because he was black and walking through a neighborhood. Zimmerman is a true piece of shit for at best goading Martin into a scuffle he couldn't possibly defend himself from. At worst, Zimmerman, for all his protectorate gusto, was trolling the streets thirsting for a confrontation at any expense. A black kid is dead, an hispanic man is out on bail, and mark my words, will eventually be set free. The laws in Florida sound friendly to claims of defense against intruders and aggressors. While Martin may be faulted for going after a fat mentally challenged slob (who was chasing him for no legitimate reason and with no tangible proof), he should not be faulted for ultimately being a victim to vigilante aggression. The worst kinds of problems are those where both sides of the equation are at fault. And ultimately, regardless of where Zimmerman ends up, the damage is done to greater society. Race baiting, race war instigation, racial tension are continuing to be ratcheted by the media and by many well-meaning humans who just want justice. The outcome of this story will not be incarceration or exoneration, it has already arrived. This story was meant to instigate hatred, to ratchet tension, to goad, to boil blood of those who behold it. Those who pay attention will know where the true blame squarely falls.<br />

A little older, but still needs to be noted. Listen to truth.

I take many issues into deep consideration, and am mostly willing to hear many sides of an argument and entertain without embracing. What I am about to posit is going to sound pretty insane for thinkers, liberty endorsers, RP heads and friends, but if you bear with me my point may become clear. With that, I give you:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">'Why I am Voting for Barack Obama'</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As mentioned before, I like to think deeply about many topics, especially the politik. My political learning career began before I was competent enough to examine issues deeply. In high school, during the glorious heights of the Bush era, I was still too young, inexperienced and impatient to look into what lies below the surface of any game. I was, for the most part, a student of the mainstream media. Locked into the vicious cycle of talking points and counter-talking points. Political footballs meant to be tossed back and forth without studying the underlying power structure. I was under a false impression that Republicans were all evil, taking actions in direct opposition to what I thought I believed or stood for. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The solution, I naively thought, was to vote a Democrat into office to scale back the damage done by Bush and Co. In the 2004 election, which was my first political vote, I voted for John Kerry. A decorated veteran, seemingly opposed to wars of aggression and to abuses of power. How little I knew then. <br />
<br />
<br />
It then took Bush's reelection and four more years of horror to beat a very important notion into my brain. That notion is the left-right paradigm, which early on I was steeped in. You can ask any number of regular citizens about the electoral processes, and many will reply with the common knowledge that 'You have two choices in elections, Republicans and Democrats. If it comes down to two candidates neither of which you support, you should vote for the lesser of the two evils'. I have heard various iterations of this argument more times than I could count from more people than I'd care to admit. This narrative has Americans trapped into a box. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Inside this box is a rigged game, riddled with facades of choice, of liberty, of freedom. The precipice of this concept still did not begin to make sense until the election of Barack Obama. Although at the time I may not have endorsed him, but again it was a battle against two evils. The Republican destruction wrought by Bush was deep-seated, and Americans knew it. With a Democratic candidate who appeared fresh, coming with fresh(albeit completely empty) language about hope and change, a candidate who seemed again to stand in opposition to the then ruling party. Many people beyond diehard dems bought this campaign as well. Which is where the real learning began. <br />
<br />
<br />
Once Obama took office, he took some strange actions and failed to enact other promises. Flowery language of ending wars, of ending unpatriotic acts, of stopping extraordinary rendition was splattered across glowing television screens and throughout the establishment print media. Many truly believed Obama's words. He even won a Nobel peace prize in his first year for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_Peace_Prize_laureates">"his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." </a>He won that peace prize while presiding over two undeclared wars, while refusing to end an unpatriotic act, while holding many uncharged prisoners in Cuban cages without recourse. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a case-study in the left-right paradigm. Eight years of Republican rule leads the general population to believe that the prior regime hailing from the red team, was evil. The natural extension leads to the blue team, who seemingly embody traits the people now want. Rinse, wash, and repeat. Without using any ambiguous fantasies that were thrown around to get elected, Obama's actions can be judged. Obama has continued and reinforced actions by the red team. He will not roll back unpatriotic acts, he will not halt endless wars, and he ended up taking financial bailout insanity to a never-before-seen level. While Bush was evil for instigating a deficit, Obama again showed he could do better. This leads to my main point: Why I am Voting for Barack Obama. <br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I registered as a Republican in my state to be able to vote in primaries once I learned about the honorable Ron Paul. Even draped in a Republican cape, his actions and words both speak louder to me than any other political figure. I was excited in 2008 to watch him take on the establishment and fight for true liberty. Although he was ignored, insulted, belittled and ridiculed by punditry and regular people non-stop, he never wavered. His supports never wavered either. He spread ideas so damaging to the ruling establishment whenever he was given time to speak. However he did not gain a groundswell of support large enough to topple the machine.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> This election cycle is an entirely different story. Although he has not outright won first in a republican primary thus far, his numbers are astounding. If someone stated in 2008 that Ron Paul only four years later would be pulling 2nds and 3rds in very establishment GOP neighborhoods, they would have laughed the speaker out of the room. In a previous iteration of this current blog, I remember posting a story about RP winning 3rd place in a straw poll of townhall.com voters and being amazed at his accomplishment with a dedicated GOP audience found at townhall. A commenter laughed at the prospect, noting that it was a real-world loss for him because he took third. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The joke is slowly turning around. Ron Paul, against any odds in existence, is spreading his message, one fully backed-up by his voting record. Pulling 2nd and 3rd in stalwart GOP states is truly baffling. Because he does not have a majority of support from banks and corporations, his success is, for now, doomed. He does receive more donations from soldiers in the armed forces, but they are just a bunch of grunts and pawns right? They couldn't possibly be advanced and intelligent enough to vote for their own interest. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Wall Street does count, and votes with their money on who is deemed most electable(most able to pay it forward, most able to nurture and protect the status quo etc.), then the people get to "vote" for their red or blue team-approved candidate. Even against the huge behemoth of corporate money, corporate-funded media interests writing the narrative for the approved election outcome, Ron Paul continues to fight for what he believes in, or at least what he claims to believe in. <br />
<br />
After that backdrop, there are many reasons I am voting for Barack Obama. Four more years of Obama will allow him to further indebt the American people into an impossible hole that can never be escaped. Obama, being a constitutional lawyer, clearly knows the value of the constitution and the vital role it plays in sustaining and maintaining a republic. This is illustrated insultingly by signing into law the NDAA, which absolutely abrogates the protections of the constitution. Obama, with an assist from the red team, was able to assume a level of power never before declared. Bush should be blushing right now, his groundwork was able to forge a society into voting for the "polar opposite" candidate, who hit the gas pedal and went top speed into totalitarianism. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I can only speak for myself, and can only relay my personal experiences. Eight years of Bush was necessary for me to fully understand the danger of Republican-in-name-only rule. It took less than a year for Obama to prove that Democrats have not an honest leg to stand on in regards to where they differ. Their policies speak for them. Looking at the popularity and support that Ron Paul has gained, it will take four more years of Obama rule to enrage Republicans enough to perhaps reconsider their choice for a candidate. Will they support a RINO who claims conservative values and policies and then promptly forget those values once in office? Will Democrats become conscious enough to remember that at one time they feigned an antiwar stance and guarded the welfare of the less fortunate? Life and experience has instilled in me a heavy pessimism, maybe too heavy to declare that I have hope or look upon the future with stars in my eyes. I am under no assumption that the collective societal consciousness will be able to break free from the mental chains hidden within their minds. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It will probably take even longer than the next election cycle for the realization to occur that the ruling elite have no interest in upholding the ideals that common people believe and seek to achieve through the election of candidates. Bush and Obama, like two opposing branches growing from the tree of the state, have both done immense harm or have accomplished amazing things from the standpoint of banks, corporations and those that benefit from destruction. Bush hastened a march toward permanent war, Obama aided and abetted the march toward fascist rule for the executive office that Bush began. Both helped to strengthen emerging crises and will continue. Another term for Obama might actually lead to real hope and change, but not in the manner he spoke of. Another term for Obama might assist in drawing attention to very real geopolitical and economic problems that have real consequences, we see new consequences emerge continuously. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Another term for Obama might set a fire under the already successful Occupy movement, as they push for humans to realize where they stand in true economic terms. My true hope for change is that Obama's actions will help to crush the vicious paradigm of mental control which strangles every mind into thinking there are only two directions. That there are two choices in the next election. However, nothing will change until it is fully recognized that there is really only choice: the state. </span>reflux the chemisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03586008618641621084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059666656018046809.post-58550784883518460682012-02-11T20:14:00.001-07:002013-04-26T18:04:59.079-06:00Ron Paul is a Good (White Supremacist) Man...<span class="st">I, and probably many other members of the left surely believe(d) that this man is America's leading voice for limited, constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, honest money, and basically a forward thinking government as a whole. Something we have all been waiting for I'd imagine. In fact, this was the year Ron Paul would finally join the Big (although small minded) Red in hopes that after so many years as running as an Independent, he would finally take what is rightfully his. Since the start of the 2012 election, Ron Paul has introduced many policies that this country desperately needs, such as the ever popular Free Competition in Currency act. In fact, let's take a look at this man's ideals in brief bullet points:</span><br />
<ul><li><span class="st"></span>He has never voted to raise taxes.</li>
<li>He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.</li>
<li>He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.</li>
<li>He has never voted to raise congressional pay.</li>
<li>He has never taken a government-paid junket.</li>
<li>He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.</li>
<li>He voted against the Patriot Act.</li>
<li>He voted against regulating the Internet.</li>
<li>He voted against the Iraq war.</li>
<li>He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.</li>
<li>He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.</li>
</ul> Damn, sounds like a swell gentleman. He even had a world renowned campaign slogan (seen below) that captured the attention of many political street artists such as Sheppard Fairy and the worldwide sensation, Banksy.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.missopinion.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/ron-paul-revolution-large-banner30-x-891.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="62" src="http://www.missopinion.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/ron-paul-revolution-large-banner30-x-891.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> Ron Paul has been the answer America has been looking for since President Clinton had to say his goodbyes. And needless to say I was all for this man being a very important part of our much needed reformation, although I must say that his smug faced prick of a son, Rand Paul is something our congress can do without. Normally when something like this comes about (mainly as an idea at first), it's too good to be true, especially in the political field, and especially a presidential campaign incarnate. The polls showed very much promise in this man as he nearly ran away with Maine this past week at 35.7 % (1,996 votes), very close on the tail of GOP flop Mitt Romney at 39.2 (2,190 votes), and this was Mr. Paul's strongest results in ALL of his campaign ventures (1984, 1988, 2008 and current). When you watch the elections, as Newt What-The-Fuck and Mitt Romney bitch it out as to who has the coolest wife at the time, Ron Paul makes sense, especially as a GOP representative. That is until it's revealed to you the REAL intentions of such a man in shining armor.<br />
<br />
Our leaders in our real revolution, Anonymous has announced that not only have they decimated the websites of avowed White Supremacist group American Third Position (A3P) during<i> </i>Operation Blitzkrieg but, in the process, they claim to have accidentally uncovered close ties between the racist group and Ron Paul. Not just the Ron Paul campaign, but Ron Paul himself. Anonymous is not known for hoaxes about this sort of thing and there is a large amount of information on the page to sort through. If this is confirmed then that would the end of the Ron Paul phenomena among the Left. It will impossible for any self-respecting liberal to overlook such a connection no matter how much they want marijuana legalized.

Iran is the coronated boogeyman, those scary Farsi speakers half a world away with much more to lose, and for the global power structure there is much more to gain. The blockade actions are described below accurately. I would first like to submit what a blockade is considered in legal terms(and how defined in U.S. legal theory), then to discuss the stated reasons for the blockade. Finally I will drop a few links ripped from the headlines, all providing a grim and real illustration for the potential of war with Iran.<br />
<br />
A blockade, noted by<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade#Legal_status"> Wikipedia</a>(as defined by the Encyclopedia Britannica) is: "<i>an act of war by which a belligerent prevents access to or departure from a defined part of the enemy’s coasts</i>". In a thorough article on blockades as an act of war, author <a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=9866"> Stephen Lendman states</a> U.S. definitions of blockades, as well as declarations that the U.S. has accepted and are binding, all pointing to blockades as being an act of war.<br />
<br />
Similarly, there is a concept called Casus Belli which is Latin for 'justification for acts of war'.<br />
I think some will appreciate this analogy, although one is free to make their own decision on its application. To try to find a similar action involving blockades, take<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casus_belli"> Israel's experience with the Six Day War</a>, where the "<i>Israeli government had a short list of <span lang="la">casī bellorum</span>, acts that it would consider provocations justifying armed retaliation. The most important was a blockade of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straits_of_Tiran" title="Straits of Tiran">Straits of Tiran</a> leading into <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eilat" title="Eilat">Eilat</a>, Israel's only port to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Sea" title="Red Sea">Red Sea</a>, through which Israel received much of its oil. After several border incidents between Israel and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt" title="Egypt">Egypt</a>'s allies <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria" title="Syria">Syria</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan" title="Jordan">Jordan</a>, Egypt expelled <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Emergency_Force" title="United Nations Emergency Force">UNEF</a> peacekeepers from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinai_Peninsula" title="Sinai Peninsula">Sinai Peninsula</a>, established a military presence at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharm_el-Sheikh" title="Sharm el-Sheikh">Sharm el-Sheikh</a>, and announced a blockade of the straits, prompting Israel to cite its casus belli in opening hostilities against Egypt."<br />
<br />
</i>Although there is a tacit and unspoken assumption in the U.S. and Israel that we never apply the same standards to our enemies, this is an interesting situation. If we use an accepted definition in the United States for blockades being an act of war, as well as assuming Israel was justified in its conduct of starting a conflict while using blockades as a justification, then by applying the same logic, would Iran not be correct in at least stating that this is an act of war, one by which(using Israels logic) they would be justified in retaliating? Whether or not this is correct is sort of useless, as Iran would be insane to retaliate, playing exactly into its enemies hand.<br />
At the same time, it is insane to punish a sovereign nation for moving to build nuclear power plants, an action which the IAEA is actually required to support and assist with. This leads into the stated justifications for the blockade.<br />
<br />
<br />
The United States and others are blockading/sanctioning Iran because they claim that there are unanswered questions about Iran pursuing Nuclear Weapons, and the Iranians are not forthcoming enough with clearing up these ambiguities. Now, I leave open the possibility that Iran might have conducted some research into the issue, although it is widely agreed on all sides that this halted in 2003. Also, much of the questions arose from the 'Smoking Laptop' provided by the M.E.K. to I believe was Israel. The M.E.K. is a U.S. designated terrorist organization. Reporting on the smoking laptop can be found <a href="http://antiwar.com/porter/?articleid=12443">here </a>and <a href="http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=47081">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Although I don't support further access to destructive weaponry, I do not support this blatant aggression based on questionable information. Also, the IAEA has been able to continue to verify the non-diversion of nuclear material in Iran. That organization has the closest eyes on Iran's nuclear program, and should be supported in efforts to continue to keep Iran transparent. So whether or not Iran did research or testing on weapons delivery capabilities, they have not diverted any material for that purpose.<br />

<div id="box">The flimsy justifications for war with Iraq taught me a very useful lesson. Iran is a bigger country, and the justifications may follow the same pattern. I am not willing to support an insane incursion on behalf of the United States or Israel on the current grounds, it will take a Titanic-sized amount of propaganda to sink my stance.

But I've still kept close to the news like usual and have come across something that has me royally pissed off (hence why I'm finally writing again). Within the last few hours or maybe barely a day, Iran has been stricken with an oil embargo from none other than the world's ignorant, selfish, totalitarian bully, the U.S. Due to apparent "heightened terror threats" from Iran, it has been decided that sanctions will be taken place against Iran's oil, their primary economic driver, all in attempt to "urge negotiation". As of 6:20 AM this morning, here are the current facts surrounding this sanction:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
Britain has joined the United States and France in sending a flotilla
of warships through the sensitive Strait of Hormuz in a pointed message
to the Iranian regime. The Ministry of Defense confirmed that a Royal Navy Type 23 frigate,
HMS Argyll, was part of the US-led carrier group to pass through the
waterway, as tensions continued to escalate over Tehran's nuclear
program. The strait, a 34-mile-wide sea passage, connects the
petroleum-producing Persian Gulf states to the ocean, making it a
strategic choke point on the world's economy. The EU gave preliminary approval to new sanctions against Iranian oil as of today. On the table is a total ban on European purchases of Iranian
oil - a sanction that would not just hit Iran but key EU buyers
including Greece, Italy and Spain. Sanctions are already expected against Iran's central bank.<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span> The full implementation of the sanctions would be delayed until July 1st, due to concerns about their impact on the European economy. The UK, Germany, France and the Netherlands had been leading calls
for nothing more than a three-month delay before the sanctions bite, but
Greece - which fears its economic woes will worsen if it cannot find
alternative suppliers at Iran-style preferential rates - has urged a
much longer phase-in to ease the pain. The embargo is yet to be formally approved by the EU nations' foreign ministers, who are meeting in Brussels. In response to the expected sanctions the Iranians have threatened to
close the strait - through which 35% of the world's tanker-borne oil
exports pass - in retaliation.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
This sanction is starting to raise tension between the U.S. and Iran even more so and from a previous news report on this matter, it was said that if we were to continue to strong arm Iran, both China and Russia would have no choice but to intervene, possibly sparking a third world war. Foreign secretary William Hague (you know, the guy who said a peaceful way to calm down the revolutions that were taking place in Greece, Syria and Egypt throughout 2011 would be foreign interference [that dumb fuck]) is apparently urging Iran to "come to its senses" about our suppression to their way of life so they can resume negotiations on their nuclear program. <span style="font-family: inherit;">Any bid by Iran to block the Strait of Hormuz at the entrance to the
Gulf, through which 20% of the world's oil exports pass would be
"illegal" and "unsuccessful", Hague warned....which doesn't make full sense to me considering that we are the ones causing them to do such acts due to sanctions and threats from the Royal Navy and our own and if they threaten to fight back (take a look at what Cuba did to us when we tried to replace their Communist political/economic system with our capitalistic sense of bull shit, they fought back and won, and now they are barred because we feel like since they didn't allow us to control them, they are a threat to our world domination, ha!), they will be exposed to acts of war. And us provoking the cutting off of the use of Iran's oil only spells out doom and gloom for our economy (higher gas prices etc.).</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As you can probably sense in my writing I'm a little worked up about this current topic. That's because I feel like once again, the U.S. is sticking it's nose in to where it doesn't belong. Apparently these sanctions are peaceful and legitimate measures, and not about conflict, says Hague to the Huffington Post, yet I can't help but feel that we are the ones causing these problems to happen. After all, the past has painted a pretty vivid picture of America's nasty role in foreign politics. This topic is still under development (cheers for follow up articles), but I'm putting this out there to make it aware that tensions in this world are rising, and we are the ones behind it all. Maybe there is more to this topic, maybe we have to strong arm them to get them to back off, although it doesn't seem like that's the case, Iraq was never a real threat to the United States, I highly doubt Iran is. We are worried that in their closing of the Strait, the world will not be able to function off of the oil that the strait provides, mind you they are doing it in retaliation to make us and EU back off. I'll let you do the figuring.</span></div>

Won't take anything away from the below post, browse it, internalize, then check out the videos provided. These examples truly are emblematic of some of the strongest political musicians around. I would argue that Immortal Technique especially provides more than just context and content on political issues, he went out into the world and created positive change in his own right. Thanks again for the post, below is just trying to add to the artistic side of things.<br />
