And THIS is what I get replies to? Not the Afghans. Not Market Manipulation. Not Climate Change. HEat Records still falling today. Not Peak Oil. But Clint Fucking Eastwood losing an arguement to a chair. Election 2012 and the media: a vast rightwing conspiracy of stupid By Glenn Greenwald 31paul-ryan-with-his-wife-j-008.jpg Paul Ryan's address to the RNC contained a number of notably dubious claims, yet CNN's Wolf Blitzer chiefly admired 'his beautiful family'.

The GOP Campaign Motto: Vote in November for Legitimate Rape.
In other words, conspiracy theories sometimes are fact. If opportunity, motive, and means are evident, don’t rule out conspiracy merely because you’ll be labeled a conspiracy theorist. English philosopher Bertrand Russell put his own spin on the horrors of uncovering the truth via thought: Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth, more than ruin, more even than death. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. Small wonder, then, most refuse to think. Thinking is hard, so the majority of Americans prefer television instead. Swimming against a profoundly strong cultural current is nearly impossible, especially when the resulting discomfort threatens our own privilege. And conspiracy theories certainly threaten the ill-founded notion of American exceptionalism.
And speaking of Conspiracy. CNN for some reason thought they need to talk about the Suicide Bombing against the US Consulate 'workers' this AM. Maybe they shoulda just stayed quiet. But then they've got So Much Shite they have to stay quiet about, that it just kinda overflowed their Toilet Bowl, so: Mon Sep 3, 2012 6:17AM GMT A bomb blast near the US Consulate in the city of Peshawar in northwestern Pakistan has killed at least two Americans, and has injured two others. Since late 2009, there has been a surge in militant attacks in Pakistan and thousands more have been displaced by the wave of violence and militancy sweeping across the country. Thousands of Pakistanis have lost their lives in bombings and other militant attacks since 2001, when Pakistan entered an alliance with the US in the so-called war on terrorism. AO/HJL
It's the supreme propaganda orgy, devoted to aggressively reinforcing the claim to American exceptionalism: the belief that even when things look grim, America will forever be that special God-favored land of freedom, opportunity, and prosperity, and all citizens should therefore be deeply grateful – quietly and passively so – for the privilege of residing in such a land, no matter how wretched are their circumstances and how pervasive is the corruption. It's what inculcates many Americans to believe that they enjoy vibrant political debate and stark democratic choice, even as so many of the policies that are most consequential and destructive for their lives – the "war on drugs", the supremacy of the covert national security and surveillance states, vast inequalities in the justice system, crony capitalism that rapidly bolsters the oligarchy that owns the political process – are steadfastly ignored because both parties on those matters have exactly the same position and serve the same interests.
And conspiracy theories certainly threaten the ill-founded notion of American exceptionalism. False-flag terror attacks? Check. American government agencies buying enough ammunition to kill every citizen five times? Check. U.S. Supreme Court collaborating with the executive branch to increase corporate power? Check, since 1971 (at least). Goldman Sachs defrauding its clients with the knowledge of the Securities and Exchange Commission? Check. Civilian deaths from drones covered up? Check. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is dead, though most Americans refuse to acknowledge that truth. But the former U.S. Marine arrested for patriotic posts on Facebook knows. After his relatively innocuous posts, he was placed in a Stalin-like mental ward. Displaying the “wrong” political view warrants the same treatment. Apparently questioning 9/11 — an obvious inside job, as anybody paying the slightest attention has known for years — makes one crazy. Or a terrorist. Or both. And if you think 9/11 wasn’t an inside job — the evidence for which is overwhelming and physically undeniable — then you believe in coincidence but not the Laws of Thermodynamics. When will your silence be met with incarceration, then torture, then early death? These United States are well down the road of tyranny, regardless the mantra of the mainstream.
It somehow manages simultaneously to be relentlessly insipid, yet genuinely destructive. As Blitzer and Burnett put it last night: "So there he is, the Republican vice-presidential nominee and his beautiful family there. His mom is up there … He's a man who says I care deeply about every single word. I want to do a good job." False Flag coming.
The two major parties pretend that so-called "entitlement" programs can be simultaneously reformed, improved, and abolished - that is, you can have your cake and eat it (with ice cream) at the same time you throw it in the garbage. Reality rejects this incoherent juggling act and proposes that Americans better just make other arrangements for old age, routine medical care, and daily bread. This implies cultural as much as economic transformation and it will occur emergently no matter what empty promises anyone makes. People who want to get food at regular intervals will have to find some way to make themselves useful to others. Medicine will return to the local clinic model and doctors will have to find another motivation for practice besides the acquisition of German automobiles. Kunstler Compare and contrast the platforms of the Republicans and Democrats with the Reality Party: The two major parties both propose that the colossal machine of everyday life in America can not only run indefinitely, but continue expanding, and include ever more member people who trade ever more schwag. All that is required, they say, is twiddling the settings of the machine, to get it back to running smoothly as it did in the good old days before the mystifying crash of 2008. They disagree slightly on which dials to twiddle. Reality knows we have entered along-term compressive economic contraction; that there is no way we can persist in the current living arrangement; and that the necessary outcome to avoid immense human suffering can be described as the downscaling and re-localizing of everything we do. The two major parties regard the rule of law as optional, especially in money matters.

Success: Iraq/the Afghans Success: 5) the failure to force the rich to take their losses and to break up the banks means that the same people who caused the 2007/8 financial crisis still control the economy and the government. 6) failure to restructure the economy to get off oil and over to an electrical economy means that the US (and the world) are caught in the oil price dilemna: any real recovery increases oil price and will be derailed by those high oil prices. 7) Europe, ex. Germany, is in recession. 8 ) the developed world is in depression, it never left depression. During depressions there are recoveries (such as they are) and recessions, but the overall economy is in depression. 9) China’s economy is slowing down. Since China is the main engine of the world economy, followed by the US, this is really bad. If it goes into an actual recession, bend over and kiss your butt goodbye.

Indeed 2010 may even have ushered in what Dr Peter Wadhams has said probably be a succession of crashes: "I think the next two or three years will see a further collapse and we'll then be encountering an Arctic ocean without sea ice in it during the summer months" BBC News 24, 19:23 27/8/12.

Climate Change. The Most Censored Story 2012. Arctic ice melt = 20 years of CO2 emissions ""The volume of ice in the summer is only a quarter of what it was 30 years ago and that's really the prelude to this final collapse," Prof Wadhams said. Instead of being reflected away from the Earth, this energy is absorbed, and contributes to warming. Parts of the Arctic Ocean are now as warm in summer as the North Sea is in winter, Prof Wadhams said. neven1.typepad.com/blog/2...f-co2-emissions.html#more Ice Free by 2015. mcgowanjm posted on 2012-09-06 7:39:58 ET

‘When’ is so … yesterday! Coyotes have been dropping for five years. The process has been satisfactorily papered over to a large extent. Managers have learned a lot about crisis management since 1929 and 1973 and 1987. When there are difficulties the managers know to run out the shills. The public — and markets — are credulous. They want to believe. Nobody wants a Greater Depression and will do whatever is possible to avoid one. the cost of credit … has become too high for individual buyers to afford. The speculators are victims of their own greed.

"The Arctic sea-ice has long passed its tipping point, and so also have the other critical features in the polar north. We will soon have a very different, warmer Arctic climate with mind-boggling implications for the rate of Greenland melt, sea levels, the stability of permafrost and methane clathrates, and more extreme weather in the northern hemisphere.

" Some of us (Dirty Fcukin' Hippies...;} over the last 11 years have read what seems like a million words, watched hundreds of videos, studied thousands of images, posted and re-posted things we felt were relevant, made comments all over the internet, gained friends and allies, made enemies, got ridiculed and called names, evolved in our thinking, picked flyspecks out of pepper, waded through the muck of disinformation, debated and argued the hows, watched as the trolls and paid provocateurs came around to infiltrate the narrative, became frustrated, exhilarated, encouraged and discouraged and never once thought of giving up. We never made a nickel out of it. Our schooling didn't get us a degree. We did it because we had to. We had no choice.

Eleven years ago, a major attack was carried upon the people all around the planet. This was an all-out onslaught of terror through the Spectacle, that resulted into a global fall into an Orwellian nightmare for most if not all of us. This attack was used shock the public, especially the establishment, into calling out for total mindless vindication upon anyone who’ll be labelled a «terrorist», by terrorist States. It was used to crush our civil liberties, develop an unprecedented grid of total surveillance upon the proles, through CCTV’s and telecoms, as well as to bring despotic legal-militaristic measures to repress dissenters, immigrants and native people alike, put them into maximum security prisons; and to further impose racist, restrictive immigration policies. It was also used to justify endless foreign military invasions worldwide, in what now seems to be part of the «new world order» agenda that George H.W. Bush called for, 22 years ago on the exact same date. Whether intended or not, and conspiracy or not, the 9/11 attacks were the foundation for a new Nazi "Enabling Act", aimed at bringing ordinary fascism everywhere in the Western world, under a doctrine of Terror, of (inter)national (in)security.
I voted for him in 2008, by the way, since the wish-fulfillment motif moved me, and also because of the horrifying McCain-Palin opposition. In office, then, Mr. Obama quickly proved to be a different breed of porpoise than the voters bargained for. He let the Wall Street privateers run amuck another four years, aided with colossal infusions of conjured-out-of-nothing "money" from the Federal Reserve. He let loose the demons of a high-tech totalitarian "security" state with every sort of electronic surveillance, citizen data-mining, and drone spying that innovation allowed. He stood silent like a Banana Republic store mannequin after the supreme court decided that corporations could buy elections (he could have pushed loudly for legislation or even a constitutional amendment to redefine corporate "personhood"). And of course, he continued to prosecute the absurd war in Afghanistan where, after nine years, US forces are unable to accomplish the only aims of being there: to control the terrain and to moderate the behavior of the people who live there. Kunstler Taliban call Haqqani Network a 'conjured entity' By Bill RoggioSeptember 9, 2012 The Afghan Taliban derided the US's announcement that it would add the Haqqani Network to the list of terrorist entities and claimed the designation was an attempt to divide the group. The Taliban released the statement yesterday on its propaganda website, Voice of Jihad. The statement was signed by "The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan," the official name of the Afghan Taliban. In the statement, the Taliban claimed that there is "no separate entity or network in Afghanistan by the name of Haqqani," and that its overall leader, Jalaluddin Haqqani, is a member of the Quetta Shura, the group's top leadership council.

BBC Now Admits Al Qaeda Never Existed SNIP "In reality, what the western media refers to as Al Qaeda is nothing more than a Salafi Jihadists. Salafists Islam is the version of Islam pre-dominate in Saudi Arabia and Qatar and the government of Saudi Arabia actually recruits Islamic extremists from their schools to wage Salafi Jihad against other Sunni and Shiite Muslims. The United States doesn’t want you to know this because Saudi Arabia’s jihadists are used as a proxy mercenary army to conduct covert operations for the US Government. For example, they were used to overthrow the Libya government and are actively working to overthrow the Syria government.

"We must strive to curtail the abuse of liberty by immediately ending all foreign occupations, closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, vigorously prosecuting the use of torture, repealing the Patriot Act, ending assassinations without trial and stopping the use of drone missiles to carry out random attacks abroad and drone aircraft to conduct domestic surveillance. Only by respecting the human rights and dignity of all of the world's people and the Constitutional rights of our own citizens here at home may we possibly hope to maintain the ideals of liberty and freedom that the founders of this great nation bestowed upon us."
