War with Iran, a dead certainty

Posted on by

Lets be entirely clear, I’m not i favor of a war with Iran. I wasn’t in favor of a war with Iraq either. But it happened, and the war will happen with Iran, just a sure as the sun rises in the east if George Bush remains as president of the United States. There is nothing in his past experience that would force him to rethink his ability to make war on anyone he wishes. With the republicans in control of Congress, and the Supreme Court. There is little expectation that he will face any opposition to his madness.

So the real question is this, what are we going to do after

Bush Nuke’s Iran in the name of the American People

hits the front page of the world newspapers?

It will be like watching the elite Iraqis scrambling to leave Iraq, we will see the wealthy and well connected in the U.S. vanish out of the country leaving the poor and middle classes to suffer the wrath of the Muslim/Iranian reaction.

And 9/11 will look like ants at a picnic.

History repeats

If you do this simple exercise with history in mind.

If you refer to George W. Bush as King George II (King George I, being his father)

Then Iraqi insurgencies could be rename as American patriots rebelling against their King.

The Iraqi ‘problem’ is sounding more and more like the The American Revolution

Or if Iraq is headed for Civil War, you could translate the causes from the American Civil War as this.

Change the conflict origins from

States Law VS Federal Law
to
Religious Law VS Secular Law

And guess what, you gain more perspective here

Sleeper Cell

Posted on by

I have been watching the advertising for ‘Sleeper Cell’ a television program about Islamic terrorists in a western country, trained to hide, and poised to strike on command. This is a standard, ‘spy vs spy’ plot line used in many novels, so the plot element is well known. It’s great when used to produce paranoia in your reader. It’s an even better subject when you use it to control the public. If you point to the possibility, or the probability that there are ‘Sleeper Cells’. ready to strike the public at anytime. You can pretty much do anything you want to that population, their induced paranoia will allow you vast powers to subvert their freedoms and liberties.

What isn’t well known is the concept of a sleep cell is another way to describe an oppressed minority group, any group. As the the description of a cell as a small group of angry people so frustrated, that they are willing to lash out at the majority in a culture. Calling any minority group, a sleeper cell, allows you to suppress that group even more. And, better yet, conditions the majority population to assist you in that suppression. The only difference between the dreaded sleeper cell, and a group of frustrated teenagers is the myth of control. The sleeper cell takes orders from a leader, or a cause from outside, control is from a mythological and mysterious external source. The teens lash out, either from external peer pressure, or from their perceptions of the environments, or from just plain anger.

So the concept is, more or less, a Spin name for a frustrated disenfranchised minority. Again, ANY MINORITY, and that applies to vegetarians, immigrants, old age pensioners, atheists, christians or Muslims. Whom ever you want to suppress, call them a ‘sleeper cell’ and suppress away. They are now the enemy, and you no longer have to deal with their frustrations, or their needs. You no longer have to deal with mythological and mysterious causes for that frustration.

Sound familiar?

Who Hammered ‘The Hammer’

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

There are numerous articles about the resignation of Tom Delay. The one I want to hear is ‘Who hammered the Hammer’? The vile, dirty politician did not go willingly, and even knowing that he was indicted, and sure to see prision time. The last thing this man was, was magnanimous. Considering that the man thought that the republican party was his to control, his personal plaything. There is little doubt that he didn’t go willingly, assuming that he is leaving.

The question really should be, who made him quit?

Update: Looks like maybe the feds did, as it is beginning to look a lot like a federal indictment

Looking for good in Iraq

Posted on by

Looking for the ‘good things’ in Iraq might just be the very thing to bring Iraq awareness to the forefront. If the Majority of Viewers Feel Iraq Coverage Is Flawed as in this article. ABC should go find it. If they can, if it really can be found, then that would put to the test, the question that the media is flawed. If it can’t find any good in Iraq then it would also prove the reverse. That Iraq was a mistake, a flawed nonexistent plan by the Bush administration. And then questions could be ask about what good it really did….

Oops….

I forgot the Bush administration doesn’t want people to ask questions, so maybe they will prevent the media from finding any good in Iraq, so that they can continue to blame the media for Iraq.

No, I must have my tinfoil hat on too tight.

Political Critical Mass

Posted on by

In a nuclear reaction, radioactive material is brought together until neutron density increases until critical mass is attained, and ‘boom’, Fission happens.

I think the GOP and the current administration has brought the political climate in the U.S. almost to critical mass. I believe this is getting to that stage by, of all things, reading geek news groups, blogs and message boards.

Geeks are a unique breed, give them enough technology, and they are happy. But lately many of the tech talk sites are degrading into political debates. Well not debates so much, as strangely, they have taken a very anti-republican, anti-adminstration, anti-GOP stance.

When you get stimulated geeks together, you get new technology, fission/fussion reactions. If the politically activated geeks apply themselves, we are going to get new government. And I don’t think the Democrats are going to be any more the winners here than the republicans.

All I can say is it’s going to get very explosive, politically speaking that is.

Religion vs Morality

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I have been struggling with the concepts of Religion as the source of morality. Each religion I have encountered believes it is the sole source of morality. That to be anti-religion is to be the same as amoralism. I always find that I am very much anti-religion, as it seems to make most people blind and dumb to the world. I think of myself as a scientist, looking at the world as a reasoned individual, but I believe that I am also very moral. Perhaps due to my brushes with a religious upbringing, but I believe that I have, at this stage in life, created my own moral compass removed from any religious aspects. And while I remain spiritual, I am not a religious person. The term ‘Religion is an anathema to reason’ or ‘religion is the opiate of the masses’ has strong meaning for me.

This has been brought to the forefront by the ranting of Radical Islamic Clerics, and Fundamentalist Christians ministers who both believe that they are locked into a war of beliefs. And all I see is two factions fighting over political control of an ignorant public.

I believe that if education was allowed to teach the facts, and that people could realize that there is morality without religious foundations. Most of the public would choose the secular morality. And that clerics and minsters who interpret their respective texts, are using these works as a control for their own purposes. That under the appearance of being a moral tool, they are deliberately distorting the message to strike out at opposing religions in a desperate attempt to prevent a secular approach to morality.

Both religions (in fact all religions) are fighting for control, in a vain attempt to preserve their institutes. And that real education, and real truth are the enemy. This appears to manifest in the so called Republican war on Science, and the secular religious schools of Islam. The truth, and perhaps the rational view of facts is being subverted to prevent a more just view of the facts and a clearer view of the truth.

We did not walk out of the jungle, or climb out of the evolutionary ladder just because God Placed us there, we got there, by way of our reasoning minds, and rational thought, corroboration, cooperation and trust.

Update: I heard about this when I posted this article, but I’ll link it now as another confirmation that religion is more concerned with ‘turf’ and not the spiritual nature of the human condition. It also reflects a ‘Burnt Earth’ policy. If we can’t have him, no one will!

The Republican’s are getting Desperate

Posted on by

The Republicans are so desperate to get out from under the corruption scandal(s) (pick one), illegal NSA spying, and Dubai port debacle that they believe that a Call for Censure Is Rallying Cry to Bush’s Base. This is assuming that the 34% of Americans who don’t want him Impeached will rise up and defeat the rest of the country who are already up in arms over presidential incompetence. You can tell when they quote Rush Limbaugh that they are stretching for the highest moral ground that they can reach, the gutter.

It goes to show, when an honest politician (and when I say honest, I mean doing his job) stands up and attempts to censure a president conducting constitutionally illegal NAS spying. That Politician, will not be a Republican. In fact, it’s sad to say, the Democrats spineless response does not merit their reelection either.

Republican Congress, unaware of the U.S. Constitution

Posted on by

If anyone doubts that most of the Republicans in Congress are unaware of the U.S. Constitution, Here is an example:

Eavesdropping bill spurs concern

So just for the Republicans, who skipped U.S. History and Civics I’ll quote

Amendment 1 – Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

The Republican’s won’t stop the gravy train

The Push to Tighten Lobbying Rules Loses Strength

Statements like;

while the Senate did vote this week in favor of a ban on gifts and meals from lobbyists, the real fight will be over whether to limit a much more lucrative perk: private travel, and lawmakers’ use of corporate jets.

Results in responses like this:

…the new majority leader, Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, is not keen on the travel ban

“The fervor for reform in this case was driven by a fear that a match was about to be lit to dry tinder. They were scared to death they would go back home and people would be waiting as they got off the plane with buckets of tar and bales of feathers.”

But

Congress tends to have a short attention span.

as

There has been little political fallout from the Abramoff case

so

Without a grass-roots hue and cry of the sort that pushed lawmakers to block the Dubai port deal this week, it was perhaps inevitable that the push for lobbying law changes would diminish.

and everyone will forget, and it will go back to the way it was. Lobbyist in control of Congress.

Left wing teaching, looks fair and balanced

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

It is quite evident that some of the commentaries here (thanks for the link Fi Fie Foe) have not been in a High school in the U.S. The audio of a so called left wing teacher teaching a class sounds to me, more or less a balanced world view from different perspectives.

(You can read a better review here )

They would have known that for a teacher to even get the attention of the class they would have to engage in controversial subjects and current affairs. The class sounded quiet, and interested. Unlike most classes where the drone of canned ‘facts’ clouds most students minds to the point that they pay no attention at all and chat amongst themselves.

Students in the U.S. Today (but not in Ireland), have immense access to the internet, mass media and other alternative sources for information. They are immersed in information far beyond the textbook learning of the past. And if a teacher does not engage that information, they loose the class.

Much of the far right would love to have only their facts (read propaganda) drilled into students, without critical thinking being part of the plan. Independent thought and freedom of speech are not what they are seeking from the next generation of students.

The very fact that this recording was made (by one of the students who holds an alternative opinion), is evidence that the students have the intellectual capacity to understand the subject matter, even if they are of an opposing viewpoint.

The U.S. Declaration of Independence, translated!

Posted on by

I have been giving the Declaration of Independence a lot of thought lately. With all the talk of changing governments around the world. I wanted to focus on, and translate into modern English, my favorite part.

The original paragraph:

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security

My translation is this paragraph:

You should take care not to change governments because of simple or temporary reasons. History is full of examples where people will put up with an abusive government rather than change it because it is familiar to them. But when the abuses escalate and rights abolished with the objective being absolute control by one person or one group. It is then the right and their duty to overthrow the abusive government, and create a new government that does not abuse their people or denies them their rights.

Sound familar to current events?

The last days of Fundamentalist Righteous Superiority

Posted on by

In recent weeks in the U.S., there have been numerous attempts by fundamentalist christians to force State legislatures into passing laws reflecting their religious beliefs. A South Dakota Rape Law in the form of a anti-abortion law, Intelligent Design teachings in schools, a law authorizing the establishment of a State Religion. Mad things, and with no hope of them withstanding a constitutional review. (I hope)

On the surface they don’t seem to have much in common except their republican, right wing religious pinnings. But what they share is desperation.

That’s what I said, Desperation. They all have the same fear, that the Republican GOP has run out of steam, and is facing a massive back lash in the upcoming elections. The expectation that the corruption, lies and constitutional violations by the Republicans in Congress and the Executive branch are going to bring about a massive Democratic reversal.

This all comes on the heels of calls for NSA reviews, impeachment and lobbying corruption scandals.

There is also an expectation that now that the Judicial Branch has a decidedly right wing slant. There could be some hope that these State Laws might pass Supreme Court Review, and hence force these laws upon other states.

There is even more fear, as the government is continuing to force states to implement electronic voting machines which clearly do not work, or worst, results in republican bias in their reporting.

The monster that the republicans have created is facing a revolt of the public. There is even more talk of a real overthrow of the current administration.

Some republicans are now having to consider if there needs to be some change in direction. A distancing from the president, and I can only hope that in their desperation that they finally choose to Impeach the President in a effort to save their own skins.

I have a faint hope that they will impeach, and also fail to sustain their majority one world government.

I hope that the American people get their government back without a violent revolution and that just a small revolution will reestablish the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America.
