Capitalism In Action-Death!

Posted on May 11, 2013 by | Leave a comment

A fundamental belief of the Republican party is that any interference in the right of job creators engaging in job creation will lead to the demise of society. “The government” impedes these noble men and women from accumulating  wealth and thus creating wealth for those who are poor. A building in Bangladesh housed five garment factories which employed over 3,000 people. Failure of “the government” to fulfill its obligations to those who work for a living resulted in numerous violations of safety which resulted in collapse of the building. The latest figure is that 900 human beings have died. Their crime was to be poor, their crime was to need a job, regardless of safety conditions.

I doubt if any Republican in Congress would make the slightest connection between these deaths and failure to control job creators. If “the government” had met its responsibilities to those who work rather than been concerned about those with wealth, hundreds would be alive today. The bottom line in capitalism is-MONEY! And, money for job creators, not for those who make job creators wealthy.

Russia Believes What?

Posted on May 11, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Vladimir Putin is accustomed to having people with whom he is having a conversation understand that his ideas are the correct ones, so it is not unusual for him to confuse a guest in his house. Secretary of State John Kerry had extensive conversations with the Great Leader, and then Prime Minister David Cameron took a shot at working with the Great Leader to resolve the crisis in Syria. Both Cameron and Kerry came away from the discussion believing there might be a  transition process in Syria that would allow creation of a national government without President Assad. Alas, both western leaders now understand that even it a document was written and signed, whatever Putin says is so is so.

A new conflict in Syria. Frankly, who said what is among the least volatile conflicts raging in Syria. At this point in time, there are so many conflicts that it is  difficult deciding which rates number one on the list of  solving something.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

Posted on May 9, 2013 by | Leave a comment

His family came from an area in Russia where Muslim groups have been fighting with Russians for hundreds of years. His nation of Chechnya was brutally crushed by Russian forces and his family fled to one place after another in Asia and the Caucasas. In one sense, this boy was connected to Russia, and in another sense they were his sworn enemies. He was a Muslim, he arrived in the United States hoping to create a new life far away from the violence of his youth. Dzhokhar quickly integrated himself into the American world ranging from wrestling to music to pop culture. He had friends at high school and in college. Those who m et him regarded the boy as one who was becoming an American in dress and thought.

Somewhere along the path of his young life other voices began to echo in his  head. They preached about hate and violence. Some blame his brother, some his mother, some the mysterious “Misha,” an Armenian convert to Islam.  We can speculate, but until this boy speaks we really do not know what happened. It is a story of change and a story of hatred consuming a human heart.

Nazis In Greece Again!

Posted on May 9, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Among the mysteries of modern Europe is emergence of neo-Nazi parties in nations that once were invaded and destroyed by German Nazis. German Nazis murdered hundreds of thousands of Greeks and seventy years later their descendants want to dress like a Nazi and give a Nazi salute! Athens Mayor George Kaminis was handng out Easter gifts when a horde of Neo-Nazi thugs stormed in and began attacking people. They were led by MP George Germenis, a member of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn Party. Germenis pulled out a gun and waved it around and then threw a punch at the mayor, unfortunately, his blow his a twelve year old girl.

The Golden Dawn party hates Jews, it hates Africans, it hates Muslims, but it does not hate Nazis. Is there something wrong with Greeks holding as their model Nazis who murdered their ancestors? I await a black American organization which wants to return to the good old days when white folk had slaves!

Question Mark Of Syria

Posted on May 9, 2013 by | Leave a comment

There are Republicans in Congress who are itching to send American forces into Syria in order to crush the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. At this point in time, Assad is supported by  Iran, Russia, and Hezbollah. At least 3,000 Hezbollah fighters are in Syria. Opponents of Assad are secular Syrians, conservative Muslims in the Middle East and American and European which want to do something about Assad. Turkey would just love to see him depart, but Turks want this to happen without use of their armed forces. A major problem is division among anti-Assad forces. The more secular Free Syrian Army is now losing fighters to the Islamist Jabhat al-Nusra which is financed by nations such as Kuwait or Saudi Arabia. Islamist extremists have good supplies of weapons and ammunition.

Latest reports indicate that about 3,000 members of the Free Syrian Army have deserted to join Islamist extemists. The fire next time in Syria might well be an Islamist regime that seeks war with Israel. Caution is the best policy. In case Senator McCain has forgotten, the last time America rushed to judment  in the Middle East we got the Iraq war.

Silvio, We Love You

Posted on May 9, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Silvio Berlusconi is a man whose only thought in life is bringing wealth to himself and to those who can benefit from his payments of good wealth. OK, so he is the wealthiest man in Italy. That means  he is different from other Italians and has the right to certain priviliges that come with wealth. It is now several years since government officials charged him with tax evasion. If one is Silvio, being charged with a crime is somewhat different than when an ordinary citizen faces tax fraud. Silvio was convicted but when Silvio is convicted it simply is Act I in the tale of keeping a case decision open to discussion. Of course, this  discussion will go on and on for a few more years.

Silvio is challenging the court decision. Silvio was told to stay out of politics. Telling Silvio to stay out of politics is akin to asking him to forgo women and wild parties. Naturally, Silvio understands that when he is convicted of any crime it is simply a ploy to  “elimnate a political adversary.”

Sex And The Military

Posted on May 8, 2013 by | Leave a comment

I see films about the US military in action. These flicks depict gorgeous female soldiers who embrace some fellow soldier and are so glad to be kissed and fucked by her brothers in arms. But, for some strange reason, there are reports of female soldiers who are being attacked and raped by her buddies in combat. According to latest figures, about 26,000 military members have been sexually assaulted the past year. Yesterday, the colonel in charge of preventing sexual assults was arrested for sexually attacking a woman in a parking lot. President Obama exploded in anger at this story. He wants those who assault to face the consequence of violence.

“I don’t want any more speeches or awareness programs or training, o ultmately folks look the other way. We’re going to have to step up our game, we have to exponentially step up    our game to go after this hard.”

I assume the first step is to hold someone accountable for sexually assaulting. I assume the second step is to  hold officers accountable for sexual assaults in their command.

Kelly Ayotte DOES Believe In Guns

Posted on May 8, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Reppublican Senator Kelly Ayotte is upset. She believes in gun control. She believes that every American has the right to control a gun. She believes that checking on backgrounds of those seeking guns gets in the way of protecting the rights of Americans to have a gun. She voted to oppose recent attempts to institute a background check for those seeking weapons of destruction. OK, it was a bipartisan proposal. OK, polls indicate that 90% of Americans support this form of checking. She simply stood up for her principles and the American way of life.

“Out of state special interests are running false advertisements attacking me, and even lying about my efforts to prevent gun related violence.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Senator Kelly Ayotte is upset. She is against people getting killed by guns. She believes that every American has the right to protect him or herself. She wants to take guns out of the hands of those who oppose guns in the hands of potential criminals. OK, so there was a bipartisan bill to institute checks into background of those seeking a gun. OK, so polls show that 90% of Americans believe in this form of background check. But, the National Rifle Association is opposed and how could any intelligent Republican vote against the NRA?

“Out of state special interests are running false advertisements attacking me and even lyingabout my efforts to prevent gun related violence.” As far as Kelly is concerned the only out of state special interests who should comment on gun issues in New Hampshire is the NRA.

Chained In Cleveland

Posted on May 8, 2013 by | Leave a comment

The horror story of three young women who were kidnapped by the Castro brothers and  held as slaves demonstrates the need to fire the entire police department of this city. Neighbors repeatedly reported sights of the women naked and on a leash being led around by these sick men. Twice police knocked on the door and left. Other times neighbors waited by the door and no police arrived. There must be an investigation of this incredible lack of attention to the job of  protecting the people of Cleveland. I am left speechless at this incredible story of failure  by the police to do their job.

Fire the police commissioner. Find the names of police who knocked on the door and left, fire them. Or, have the police who failed to do their job spend a day naked on a  leash in a room.

Wither Egypt?

Posted on May 7, 2013 by | Leave a comment

During the past two years Egypt has moved from a nation under the authority of a dictator who did not want  Islamist to have power to a society whose leaders are Islamists who seek to impose their brand of the Muslim religion upon all Muslims and Coptic Christians as well. Salafi Islamists seek to create a society in which imams and clerics decide the lives and behavior of individuals. Of course, Egypt depends upon a large tourist trade in order to provide jobs and money for the government. A typical tourist from Europe wants to dress as he/she desires, wander beaches clad in skimpy bathing suits and at night sip alcoholic drinks. If these delights are not present, Egypt can kiss goodbye its tourist trade.

So, how does the regime of President Morsi handle this contradiction? Do they allow Salafi Muslims to impose Sharia law -no alcohol, no bikini, women baring all– or do they prefer a stagnant economy? The modern dilemma for Egypt.
