Notes on the Middle East
It is all the Shiites who have helped Hamas/Gaza militarily. Shia Iran, Hezbollah and Syria are all Shia or Shia-linked countries/entities. Syria is Arab nationalist, but Assad is a practicing Alawite, which is a Shia offshoot as I understand it.
Sunni and Shia fundamentalists do not get along… Read full post »
Niall Ferguson’s Bizarre Homophobic Attack on Prof. Keynes
Niall Ferguson would undoubtedly like to go back to starvation deaths being the leading cause of premature departure/cessation for the elderly. Or at least see nearly half of all the elderly living in poverty — it is estimated that 43.6% would be so without Social Security. The… Read full post »
George Galloway Kickin’ Ass in Parliament
Galloway just unloads a can of whoop ass on the Thatcherite scum. The Tea Party bully the rest of the Congress around here in the States — with their fatuous bile (and their fullness of themselves). And their pride in how ignorant, and neanderthalic that they are.… Read full post »
Notes on Atheistic Materialism and Agnosticism
I’ve been thinking about the philosophy of atheistic materialism recently, and maybe it’s because I would say that I am a humanist agnostic. Though I’m a spiritual agnostic, I simply think religion is no better than mythology — a lot has been found to be true in mythologica… Read full post »
Pro-Palestinian Movement Should be Wary of Rank Anti-Semites
Increasingly, it has become apparent that elements who support either the one or two state solution, and not the evil status quo, consist of auxiliaries that cross the line in their criticism of Zionists/Jews. A number of alleged “learned”, and “intellectual” commentators
Jim Dean Takes it to Obama/Clinton DLCers
At a recent anti-austerity rally in DC, Howard Dean’s brother Jim Dean, took it to the New Democratic right-of-center presidents. Dean pronounced that the era of triangulation is over! Referring to Bill Clinton’s notorious practice of positioning himself halfway between congressiona
Al-Jazeera: Feminism, Immigrants' Rights and the Stateless?
Reading Al-Jazeera is something that I am loath to do, and effort to do so as little as possible. Having said that I do find myself reading one of their articles — here and there, at least some of the time. As I’ve written

No doubt a great influence upon Barack Obama, Margaret Thatcher has passed from this Earth. Just as the callous and malevolent Iron Lady disinterestedly crushed miners, the rumors are out that Barry plans to -- just as fiendishly -- crush the elderly and the disabled today. Obama… Read full post »
The Obama Great Recession: Hope Doesn’t Spring
I think that I must face it, I am a glass half empty person. And although I do see some reason for optimism; I have to admit that I see a lot of barbarity too. Like a regime such as Israel that is fully backed in its

Call me old-fashioned, but I say that the center must hold. A historian that I am aware of, who also has a keen interest in philosophy says that postmodern theory is “wild”. And I’d say that I have to concur. No progressive or revolutionary praxis comes out of… Read full post »
Of Those Who Dream of War
“Liberal” Democrats seem to have gone the way of these so-called humanitarian interventions that Cass Sunstein’s wife specializes in. Also Mali and Syria are in line with current “liberal” foreign policy thinking, methinks. We are more active in Syria, but we are p… Read full post »
Obama’s Evil Empire
A thrilling scene took place recently with the United States Senate, playing host as its backdrop. Reichsmarchall Brennan Barack Obama’s kill-list aficionado, had to overcome a Mr. Smith-style filibuster. He had to do this in order to get the Attorney General to rescind his fatuous explanat… Read full post »
American ‘Christians’ Celebrate the Death of Hugo Chavez
The American Christian right, which cannot understand the Holy Bible, is now jubilant today over the death of Hugo Chavez. Their leader taught them to love one’s enemies, in fact, he taught them to love everyone; instead, those of us who have to suffer in a nation

The neo-Ottoman running dog for U$terrorist/NATO thinks that Zionism is a crime against humanity! How nice for them (U$terrorist/NATO). And Chuck Hagel cannot even say that he is a Senator from the United States of America!
This was a great article in Alternet recently. Erdogan had been really… Read full post »
The Strategy in Syria Has Failed
While Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was questioning the former Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel, during his Secretary of Defense nomination hearing, she mentioned chemical weapons and Syria. I think that the good Senator should be aware that the so-called Free Syrian Army is a real threat

Only the most extreme Likudnik could regard Chuck Hagel as anything but a rock-solid, and implacable friend of Israel. Except for the fact of his saying, at one time, that he was a Senator from the United States of America, and not the state of Israel — that… Read full post »
Reich on Hollowed Out America
Robert Reich has an interesting column from Friday. Unfortunately, another way of looking at the crux of his arguments, is that it makes the culling of the herd theories not seem so trite. I don’t necessarily believe those theories; I mean actually I don’t. But it does… Read full post »
Omnious Portents for Venezuela
In my opinion President Chavez, doesn’t look long for this world. And moreover kinda Jabba the Hut-esque. US marionette dictator Capriles Radonski sadly probably before we know it. I wonder how many Chavistas will be slaughtered and/or disappeared? With Barry’s blessing no doub… Read full post »
Rafael Correa Coasts to Victory in the Ecuadorian Election
Though his ALBA (Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas) colleague Hugo Chavez is still battling cancer, Rafael Correa is currently achieving political heights that he has perhaps never seen before. He has won a third term in the presidential election (56.9%), and there is not expected to

Mike Adams mentioned, on Alex Jones’ Infowars, a condition in the DSM known as “Oppositional Defiant Disorder”. I really think that it’s getting to the point, where it’s the psychiatrists — that are the madhats. Are we, in fact, witnessing a Sovietization of the… Read full post »
The Elephant in the Room: Occupied Syria
The al-Assad regime has been attacked, scurrilously ridiculed, and impugned from every angle. The status of the Golan Heights; however, has been largely mysteriously missing from Western press, US media, and overall discourse. Under international law this region is still considered to be the prop… Read full post »
Massaging the Arab Spring
I think that to stop the Arab Spring, a real one that would democratize these nations from cascading to the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council), the Muslim Brotherhood is being installed in other places. They are a worse option IMO than either liberal democracy or Arab nationalist governments.… Read full post »
