Well you're in the right place. Don't expect truth to be silenced here.....;} " House Republicans Outraged by Possible Afghan War Spending Cuts Minor Cuts in War Spending 'Morally Unconscionable,' Reps Insist by Jason Ditz, June 11, 2012 House Republicans are up in arms tonight, demanding an official explanation from the Obama Administration for the revelation from the budget office that the funding for the occupation of Afghanistan would in fact face some small cuts in fiscal 2013 as part of the overall “sequestration” cuts. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta had insisted in November that the money for occupying Afghanistan would not by touched, but the military has yet to consider exactly how they would make cuts, instead railing against them on general principle and demanding that Congress exempt the military entirely. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) said that in the absence of a plan the funding for the occupation was “fair game.” The letter from Reps. Buck McKeon (R – CA), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R – FL) and Mike Rogers (R – MI) termed any cut to the spending on the conquest of Afghanistan “morally unconscionable” and demanded that the administration assure that the cuts not apply to anything war related.

PRofessor MD, U waste your talents with verbosity. Pass a test? Do I get a grade? A diploma? A job? Fuck no.... "In any case, the U.S. ruling class never had such a desire: in one way or another, other nations would be made to submit to the demands of the U.S. government -- and the same is true for U.S. citizens. The citizens of America will do exactly as the ruling class demands -- or else." When are you putting the Afghan Battle Flag on your truck? Get with the program!
Do I get a grade? A diploma? A job? Fuck no.... So you are sad because you have no job. Get a skill.

www.economic-undertow.com...s/2012/06/CLBW-061012.png As far as the ruling class is concerned, you have as little reason to complain as the murdered Iraqis do: the ruling class only wishes to improve your life. The ruling class acts only on your behalf, and "for your own good." You now witness these tactics of intimidation and of the most transparently, viciously manipulative fear-mongering deployed by almost every member of the ruling class in connection with the bailout bill."
This could be here and now with the folks on board. Hell, it might be you on this board.....LMFAO.....;} "Inferno 06-23-2005, 05:49 AM This came up in another thread recently about the American Confederate flag and how some view it as racist, but others view it as a momento of history and somehting to be proud of. Do you think flags can really be racist? Or is that just something that people say to stir up trouble and use as an excuse to say the word oppression? liquid crystal 06-24-2005, 02:50 AM This is an interesting topic, and coincidentally enough, just the other day I heard about this on the radio. Apparently, some folks want the South Vietnam flag to be the official flag for Vietnamese-Americans, while many other folks believe that this would be offensive because of the connotations associated with the Saigon regime. As for the Confederacy's flag, I don't think it's racist, just goofy. Only hicks and rednecks put Confederate flag bumper stickers on their cars, in my experience.

US Withdraws Negotiators After Pakistan Border Deal Talks Stall Embassy Faults Pakistan Over Lack of Deal by Jason Ditz, June 11, 2012 Print This | Share This The Obama Administration has withdrawn its negotiators from Pakistan after failing to reach a deal with the Pakistani government on reopening the border to occupied Afghanistan. The border has been closed since November, when US warplanes attacked Pakistani border outposts, killing 24 soldiers. Pakistan’s parliament had conditioned a deal on the US apologizing...." That's alright cause we gots an escape route all ready thru Russia.....8D Home by Xmas!!!!!!
FIFY.....8D The latest survey is based on data collected in 2010. Figures are reported in 2010 dollars. Unsurprisingly, the report is full of grim news, and although it is news from 18 months ago, fresher sources of economic data make clear that most households have since seen only modest increases, at best, in wealth and income. Despite these setbacks, consumers have continued to spend surprising amounts of money in recent years, helping to keep the economy growing at a modest pace. The survey underscores where the money is coming from: Americans are saving less for future needs and making little progress in repaying debts. "helping to keep the economy growing at a modest pace" and we're Making Progress in the Afghans/Iraq Conquests as well.....;} "Americans are saving less for future needs and making little progress in repaying debts." Americans have ZERO saved for ANYTHING and are DEFAULTING whenever possible....FIFY....;}
"As noted, and for reasons too numerous to list here, we are forced to conclude that the Ban-Ki-moon-man's goals—doubling energy efficiency (???) and doubling energy from renewable sources while providing lighting and heat to the more than 1.3 billion people who still lack it—will happen when pigs can fly. Environmentalists are bitter. “As things currently stand, we are facing two likely scenarios — an agreement so weak it is meaningless, or complete collapse,” Jim Leape, director general of the World Wildlife Fund, said in a statement Tuesday. “Neither of these options would give the world what it needs.” “When they gather in Rio, governments must restrain the flow of weasel words that is threatening to emasculate any agreement,” Leape added. Welcome to Planet Earth, Mr. Leape. Try to remember that the Earth and solar system are 4.55 billion years old. At the very last moment in that very, very long history, in less than the blink of an eye some 200,000 years ago, Homo sapiens arose in Africa, spread out from there, and conquered the entire world. Subsequently, they have used and abused this remarkable planet in any way they saw fit in accordance with their Nature and capabilities. And in much less than the blink of an eye, they will be gone." By 2140, 400 million humans is optimistic.
WHAT THE FU CK!? "TRIPOLI (AFP) - Libya has put four International Criminal Court (ICC) envoys in "preventive" detention in prison for 45 days while investigating an alleged threat to national security, a judicial source said on Monday. "A decision was made to put them in preventive detention for 45 days while investigations are conducted," an official in the attorney general's office told AFP on condition of anonymity. Ajmi al-Atiri, head of the brigade in Zintan that detained the delegation after it visited Moamer Kadhafi's son Seif al-Islam, said: "They were transferred yesterday (Sunday) to a prison on the orders of the prosecutor general." The four-member delegation has been held since Thursday in the western town after one of its lawyers, Melinda Taylor, was found carrying documents for Seif al-Islam that were considered a "threat to national security." And this isn't news in the USSA? Everthing you need to know. EVERYONE here KNOWS exactly what would happen if Qaddafi had tried this..... LMFAO......8D

Hymns to the Violence: The NYT’s Love Letter to Obama's Murder Racket PDF Print E-mail Share Written by Chris Floyd Tuesday, 29 May 2012 14:21 I must, at last, admit defeat. I simply have no words, no rhetorical ammunition, no conceptual frameworks that could adequately address the total moral nullity exposed in Monday's New York Times article on the death squad that Barack Obama is personally directing from the White House. (“Secret ‘Kill List’ Proves a Test of Obama’s Principles and Will.”) It is not so much a newspaper story as a love letter -- a love letter to death, to the awe-inspiring and fear-inducing power of death, as personified by Barack Obama in his temporary role as the manager of a ruthless, lawless imperial state. In the cringing obsequiousness of the multitude of insiders and sycophants who march in goose-step through the story, we can see the awe and fear -- indeed, the worship -- of death-dealing power. This enthrallment permeates the story, both in the words of the cringers and in the giddy thrill the writers display in gaining such delicious access to the inner sanctum. In any other age -- including the last administration -- this story would have been presented as a scandalous exposé. The genuinely creepy scenes of the "nominating process" alone would have been seen as horrific revelations.
"Lenders eye precarious borrowers and mushrooming risk: instead of rolling over loans they demand repayment. This requires borrowing to take place outside of the ordinary transmission channels, by which the bulk of loans were made in the first place. New channels simply do not exist. Extend and pretend has been institutionalized over a period of decades across the modern world. The two-year loan became the ten-year loan. The ten-year loan became twenty. The loaned amounts in question expanded exponentially as both principal and interest were financed. As the borrow-to-repay charade expands both the borrower and the lender realize they’ve been had: borrowers cannot roll over their debts while lenders see principal investments vanish and are wiped out. " -economic-undertow. There is No Return on Consumption by Burning gas in your car.
Finance channels are saturated, debt is unproductive. All new debts taken on are to service old debts rather than afford goods and services. Debts are ‘dead money’: the only way to retire them are by way of Ponzi schemes and loan-shark lending. Borrowers cannot find lenders because all sources have been tapped already. Lenders cannot find creditable borrowers. This was the entire point of globalization, to tap all sources of world capital, benefits lasted only until global demand for capital ballooned to consume it. www.economic-undertow.com/2012/06/11/agonistas/ News for ireland asks for Spain's deal AFP 1.

The question is who can best deliver on the promise of continued living-beyond-means: unions or neo-liberals? Fifty years ago labor unions gave working families the chance at consumption lifestyles. Today, the problems lie with lifestyles themselves, union representation is irrelevant. Unions cannot deliver jobs that are exported overseas by business owners. The point has shifted from who can deliver wages and social justice to who can deliver $2 gasoline. Unionists and progressives have little idea of the kind of contest that has been forced upon them. The US and the rest of the world have reached the end of a seventy-year run of a waste-based economy that cannot afford itself. Progressives demand a chance to make a difference when ‘different’ means more of the same, more consumption. This can be had from the business establishment which offers better empty promises. http://www.economic-undertow.com/2012/06/11/agonistas/ who can deliver wages and social justice to who can deliver $2 gasoline. O we're going to have $2 gasoline again....MoF, a gasoline can will probably be on the $2 bill..... :twisted: But only Non Debtors, say 5% of the Pop. will be able to afford it.
No doubt all English speaking Christians should keep a KJV handy. Especially, when running through the thee's and thou's. Personally it is not an issue for me. I have read and still use the KJV along side with others. So when "you" could be meant many things, I flip out the KJV to clarify. I can see your concern for someone who is new to Bible reading and starting to do serious study for the first time. "When's the last time you heard someone told to "Go to Gehenna"?" Don't remember but it was probably on LP:)

And Here's the Dis connect....;}: hipcrime.blogspot.com/201...ap-resources-is-over.html per the BBC (VIDEO): " But the era of abundant cheap resources is drawing to an end, for reasons equally straightforward. The global population currently stands at seven billion people, and is predicted to rise to more than nine billion by 2050 - that's roughly the population of the UK being added to the planet every year. More importantly, there could be up to three billion new middle-class consumers, mainly in China and India, according to McKinsey. They will drive demand for meat, consumer goods and urban infrastructure, not to mention the energy needed to produce them, to levels unheard of in human history. For example, McKinsey expects the number of cars in the world to double by 2030. And while demand for resources from an exploding and wealthier population soars, finding and extracting new sources of supply is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive. For example, oil companies have to look further and drill deeper to find dwindling reserves of oil, meaning the cost of an average well has doubled in the past ten years, while new mining discoveries have been largely flat despite a fourfold increase in exploration costs. The discovery of shale gas could have a major impact on meeting global energy needs in the decades to come, but as Laszlo Varro, head of gas, coal and power markets at the International Energy Agency, says, just burning current reserves of fossil fuels using existing technologies would create enough carbon dioxide "to boil the planet several times over". Yes, the resources from now on will be expensive, but for NONE of the Reasons offered above.....". Ex....Pop, cars and prosperity from Chindia....None of that will be around in 10 years.

Yet bees, one should suppose, ought to be immortal, ought to be exempt from death. For are they not the world's only truly innocent creatures? No living thing dies to give them or their offspring sustenance; when they feed they are giving rather than taking life; and when they resort to their only gesture of self-defense it is an act of suicide. Coming down off the hill carrying my telescope, it occurred to me, as it had a hundred times before, that I am one of the lucky ones. This is all I have so far in my life wanted or needed. But I cannot help wondering what will become of people like me when the world is cemented over. I felt fragile and depressed, a last surviving member of a species threatened with extinction. Paul Kingsnorth wrote: "I withdraw, you see. I withdraw from the campaigning and the marching, I withdraw from the arguing and the talked-up necessity and all of the false assumptions. I withdraw from the words. I am leaving. I am going to go out walking." "I am leaving on a pilgrimage to find what I left behind in the jungles and by the cold campfires and in the parts of my head and my heart that I have been skirting around because I have been busy fragmenting the world in order to save it; busy believing it is mine to save. I am going to listen to the wind and see what it tells me, or whether it tells me anything at all. You see, it turns out that I have more time than I thought. I will follow the songlines and see what they sing to me and maybe, one day, I might even come back. And if I am very lucky I might bring with me a harvest of fresh tales, which I can scatter like apple seeds across this tired and angry land." Negotiating on behalf of Nature, for Gaia, is a sacred duty. Environmentalism is not just a career move. As Paul Sears warned 40 years ago, “Ecology is a subversive subject,” because ecology will demand that we completely re-evaluate our assumptions. We do not get to rewrite the laws of biology, physics, thermodynamics, and exponential growth for our own convenience. We need ecological leaders who understand ecology and biophysical laws, and who feel a deep, sacred respect for Nature itself. Ecologists... It's been a while since I've seen that word....strange that....;} ....understand that climate change from CO2 is only one aspect of the vortex of calamities that is fast evolving, which derives from the full bludgeoning of anthropomorphic tyranny - habitat destruction, resource extraction, and pollution. The single-minded emphasis on CO2 enables activists and scientists the fantasy that we can solve the problem by switching to green energy. Even assuming that transition is physically possible - and I seriously doubt it is - that wouldn't be enough to spare our species and all others from extermination. As a mindset it is not merely insufficient - it's a distraction, which ultimately makes it an integral part of the problem, although good luck convincing anyone of that.

No living thing dies to give them or their offspring sustenance; when they feed they are giving rather than taking life; and when they resort to their only gesture of self-defense it is an act of suicide. Coming down off the hill carrying my telescope, it occurred to me, as it had a hundred times before, that I am one of the lucky ones. This is all I have so far in my life wanted or needed. But I cannot help wondering what will become of people like me when the world is cemented over. I felt fragile and depressed, a last surviving member of a species threatened with extinction. Paul Kingsnorth wrote: "I withdraw, you see. I withdraw from the campaigning and the marching, I withdraw from the arguing and the talked-up necessity and all of the false assumptions. I withdraw from the words. I am leaving. I am going to go out walking." "I am leaving on a pilgrimage to find what I left behind in the jungles and by the cold campfires and in the parts of my head and my heart that I have been skirting around because I have been busy fragmenting the world in order to save it; busy believing it is mine to save. I am going to listen to the wind and see what it tells me, or whether it tells me anything at all. You see, it turns out that I have more time than I thought. I will follow the songlines and see what they sing to me and maybe, one day, I might even come back. And if I am very lucky I might bring with me a harvest of fresh tales, which I can scatter like apple seeds across this tired and angry land." Negotiating on behalf of Nature, for Gaia, is a sacred duty. Environmentalism is not just a career move. As Paul Sears warned 40 years ago, “Ecology is a subversive subject,” because ecology will demand that we completely re-evaluate our assumptions. We do not get to rewrite the laws of biology, physics, thermodynamics, and exponential growth for our own convenience. We need ecological leaders who understand ecology and biophysical laws, and who feel a deep, sacred respect for Nature itself. Ecologists... It's been a while since I've seen that word....strange that....;} ....understand that climate change from CO2 is only one aspect of the vortex of calamities that is fast evolving, which derives from the full bludgeoning of anthropomorphic tyranny - habitat destruction, resource extraction, and pollution. The single-minded emphasis on CO2 enables activists and scientists the fantasy that we can solve the problem by switching to green energy. Even assuming that transition is physically possible - and I seriously doubt it is - that wouldn't be enough to spare our species and all others from extermination. As a mindset it is not merely insufficient - it's a distraction, which ultimately makes it an integral part of the problem, although good luck convincing anyone of that. http://witsendnj.blogspot.com/
RUSSIAN WARNING SHOTS AS SYRIAN CONFLICT THREATENS TO DEGENERATE INTO WORLD WAR By: Thierry Meyssan on: 13.06.2012 [00:19 ] (369 reads) The message is clear : Moscow is ready for world war if NATO and the GCC do not comply with the international obligations as defined in the Annan Plan and persist in aiding terrorism.

" A lone, psychopathic killer views himself as a self-contained society of one; therefore, he feels accountable to no one outside of himself… He is a freelancer (a mirror image of the lawless state itself) who has assumed the murderous agency of state power. No wonder, we, as a people, so greatly exaggerate the danger these extreme cases pose to us on a collective basis — no wonder we insist that the most punitive forms of punishment be inflicted upon individuals afflicted with these rare afflictions…that they be locked away in the most secure prisons and executed with utmost expediency… for if we gazed upon them for any length of time, we would notice affinities of mind and action — their violent, reprehensible deeds are microcosmic representations of official state policy and cultural norms. -Phil Rockstruh

Pollock: I think in Japan what is being made is the business decision. The business decision is: The cost of admitting the truth is so great I won’t admit it; business as usual, everyone stays in Tokyo, everyone stays in Fukushima.
