  431. "The three issues he tapped into, trade, immigration and wars. I think you saw the popular side of, I think the country hates all those wars, the establishment of both parties have supporting those wars including Hillary. The fact we don't have an immigration system that we enforce, business doesn't want one because they want the cheap labor for the jobs, Democrats wants the votes, nobody's gotten it together. In terms of trade, the fact is a good portion of the states we are looking at tonight, just drive through Michigan, drive through Wisconsin and you'll see places that are hollowed out, there's nothing, there used to be a Blockbusters movie place to get the news, they are gone, now nothing left but the diner, that's all that's left to hold the community together and said you know what I think I can run against this stuff and he put it together and I think was a legitimate campaign on those issues, I mean I never heard Hillary rail against these stupid wars, I never heard Hillary rail genuinely against these trade deals she came out against, she completely defe(unintelligible), nobody really believed it.And I never heard her come out for a really comprehensive immigration program which included enforcement on illegal hiring and actually put it together. Sure she went out and got Latino votes, but did she ever come out for a sound progressive workable enforceable immigration policy, no!...." And that's an excellent analysis by Chris Matthews who for a moment forgot to lie.

  1600. Well, we all thought the big problem for our US democracy was Citizens United/Koch Brothers big money in politics. Silly us; turns out that money isn't all that important if you can conflate entertainment with the electoral process. Trump masters TV, TV so-called news picks up and repeats and repeats to death this opinionated blowhard and his hairbrained ideas, free-floating discontent attaches to a seeming strongman and we're off and running. JFK, Jr would be delighted by all this as his "George" magazine saw celebrity politics coming. The magazine struggled as it was ahead of its time but now looks prescient. George, of course, played the development pretty lightly, basically for charm and gossip, like People, but what we are dealing with now is dead serious. How does this get handled in the general? Secretary Clinton is not an entertainer, and not a celebrity in the Trump, Kardashian mold; what can she do to offset this? I'm certain the poll-directed insiders are sure things will default to policy as soon as the conventions are over, but I think not. And as I've mentioned, we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging. Rubio's press conference yesterday AM was good and should be repeated in its entirety, not just in nibbles. I will attend the Clinton fundraiser here next week but as I can only afford the low level of participation may just get to wave without a "hello."

  1716. Kyle Ruth. I did look it up, the Lousiana primary voting machines was set up by Democrats. The governor is a Democrat, the voting commission is led by a Democrat. Do you honestly believe that Sanders correspondence would reveal a giant protection racket for practically every corporate interest on the planet? Please provide source for the claim that Sanders said that such correspondence of his would contain the same. Lesser evil!!! I think Clinton and Trump is about the same evil, same shit, different pile, at least with Trump people are paying attention. "TPP is the Goldman Sachs standard". The Media propped up Trump as the pied piper candidate, they wanted Trump to either win the Rep primary or to drag the GOP chosen(Bush/Rubio) to the right, their own correspondence revealed this. The media couldn't cover Clintons policies because she had none, their own correspondence has Clinton advisors bemoaning this fact. It would have been worse for Clinton if they were to cover her clusterfuck in the state department in any way, so they tried to trivialize it. Bernie didn't have a private server with classified information, he didn't breach security protocol, he didn't have devices and emails destroyed, he didn't bring unsecure devices linked to the server cloud to China, Russia, Germany, Brazil, japan and whole lot of other countries who off course would hack it(because that is the job of any intelligence agency, to spy on friend and foe), at this point every piece of info in the Clinton server is known by every moderately competent intelligence agency on the planet. The FBI investigation was a white wash, to use Comey owns words, any other public servant would be in jail, but they didn't press charges because she committed these errors because of incompetence. Clinton didn't go to the Rust Belt, she supported the TPP, her husband passed NAFTA, that is why she lost the Rust Belt. How do I know this, Bill Clinton tried to warn them, but they thought they could win Texas and Arizona. There is so much more shit that I could bring up, but I won't, not with a hopeful actor with an internship in a media comglomerate. Collect your paycheck for Share Blue.

  1897. Dara Marc Sasmaz. I think you misunderstood me or I wasn't sufficiently clear, I agree with you, but I would like to include a warning that if the state is given to much control it too becomes a danger, I advocate for balance, right now the scales favor a static maintenance of the the power of the few versus the many. An adjustment is necessary to invigorate the system and once more afford the state more influence to balance the power of private capital. Capitalism is as I allready stated merely a word for something which you now have stated is a result of a war based economy, why did they adopt this economic model, they did it to invest in new revolutionary weaponry and at the same time they unknowingly created a class of experts to support this economy, the people who later became known as Burghers or Citizens and they were rewarded in turn with legal rights to protect them in order to sustain the model adopted by the princely state and thus there was an evolution of law and from there new civic ideas inspired by antiquity flourished laying the foundation for the modern nation state, the nation state in time required the use of mass armies to compete against other nation states with a similar process of further inclusion into the franchise ....do you see how we acquired our collective bargaining power with our sovereigns/executives? The nation state was necessary for labor movements to rise in the first place and the nation state is the only guarantee for the civic rights of the many against few, there is not yet any viable alternative to it. In regards to Capitalism being solely a product of the European princely state, I think that is too simplistic, Ming China, Mughal India and several other states in Asia developed similar systems in parallel, for reference as examples thereof see Jain, Gujrati, Omani and Sung/Ming banking and trading.

  2029. Kurt.Dk-55. Mechanics of creating division, step by step. First shot fired. "So...why then do a lot of Bernie bros tell women and racial minorities and trans ppl that their oppression isn't an "important issue" like $15 min wage is, and that wanting sexual violence to actually have criminal consequences and not run rampant in the US is just "identity politics" (And NO, fuck Hillary, before you attack me for being a shill)" Second shot fired. "Because like...that's why Hillary was so successful at getting a lot of the womens vote. Berniebros alienated a ton of women by acting like misogyny is not rampant and killing millions of women every year..." Return fire obviously in frustration from the barrage of accusations. " .....oh God youre the identity politics fucktard that keeps lecturing everyone pendantically about the patriarchy and oppression and trannies. do you even have a JOB? where did u come from. why are you on this channel all of a sudden. go to some Corporate shit like MSNBC channel and talk about russia or something. fuck off" Passive aggressive third shot in the hopes of creating division "How are you a progressive yet attacking someone based on whether or not they have a job? You're not a leftist if you do that. Your the same fuck attacking antifascism because 'muh freeze peach'. Fuck you. Inciting violence on trans ppl and outting them is VIOLENCE. Be a bigot all you want but I hope karma catches up with you for how horribly you treat the people less privileged than you."

  2275. Fritz Karl. "Superdelegates in place since 1984 - nothing specific to 2016." Almost uniformly for Clinton, a rule made to quash populism, no lawyering can defend super delegates, the media did not differentiate in their reporting between super delegates and delegates accrued by votes, creating a narrative of of invincibility and futility. "DWS scheduled debates in May 2015 before Bernie's campaign was a significant threat" It was done to counter any threat to her coronation, no specific threat existed yet , but a clever player stacks the deck. "Brazile's leaking of debate question had zero effect on election results." An assertion, giving your candidate a heads up on questions in a debate is a clear advantage, to claim otherwise is disingenuous. "Brooklyn was won by Hillary by a wider margin than New York state" 55000 voters at minimum was purged from the voter rolls in Brooklyn, that makes Hillary's win in Brooklyn illegitimate, lawsuit pending. "changing legibility to vote in dem primaries?? what does that mean?" Changing the rules for who can vote, you need a thesaurus. "cutting polling places in low income places - questionable if that helped HRC (I think she overall won low income voters in the primary, in rural areas they went for Bernie)" Rural areas can also be poor area(case in point Huntingdon West Virginia), low income voters in later primaries polled well for Sanders, Southern States were almost the only states in which Hillary won amongst low income voters. "funneling funds from dem parties to HRC campaign had no effect on election results - but probably your best point the chair throwing came from the media" The sinews of war are infinite money. - Marcus Tullius Cicero. The first casualty of War is Truth. "pied piper strategy to boost Trump was from HRC campaign" As per Wikileaks, pied piper strategy combined with sexist racist Berniebro meme. Your answers are quite feeble Fritzy.

  2293. Julia Winkler. Shortly after Grant took office as president in March 1869, he appointed Parker as Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Parker served in this office from 1869 to 1871. He was the first Native American to hold the office. Parker became the chief architect of President Grant's Peace Policy in relation to the Native Americans in the West. Beginning in 1887, the federal government attempted to “Americanize” Native Americans, largely through the education of Native youth. By 1900 thousands of Native Americans were studying at almost 150 boarding schools around the United States. The U.S. Training and Industrial School founded in 1879 at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, was the model for most of these schools. Boarding schools like Carlisle provided vocational and manual training and sought to systematically strip away tribal culture. They insisted that students drop their Indian names, forbade the speaking of native languages, and cut off their long hair. Not surprisingly, such schools often met fierce resistance from Native American parents and youth. But the schools also fostered a sense of shared Indian identity that transcended tribal boundaries. The following excerpt (from a paper read by Carlisle founder Capt. Richard H. Pratt at an 1892 convention) spotlights Pratt’s pragmatic and frequently brutal methods for “civilizing” the “savages,” including his analogies to the education and “civilizing” of African Americans. By then he was no longer in charge.

  2421. Paranoid Factoid. The info within the dossier is suspect, the source of the info is known and it's from 4chan, it's fabricated as a false story to troll the operatives who looks for such things and to discredit such an operative. " This is correct. Amazon AWS sells cloud computing. Amazon bid on a contract with the CIA for computational services. They won the contract. As a separate matter, Jeff Bezos, a founder of Amazon, also bought the Washington Post. These are two separate corporate entities. And while one might fairly say it wouldn't be in the best interest of a WaPo reporter to smear their owner's secondary corporate interests, that in no way proves collusion between WaPo editorial staff and the CIA by means of that Bezos contract. This is a smear by Jimmy Dore. Genuinely unfair. And beside the point when one considers the interests and editorial slant of inside the beltway papers like the WaPo and NY Times have always leaned toward supporting the Washington power structure. Including that of reporting statements by anonymous intelligence community members (with White House approval). Watergate reporting was an aberration, not the norm. I generally agree with Dore's political and social values. But I have to admit, his factual accuracy is suspect in these Youtube vids. I'm dismayed.." What in the name of all things holy is this logos pretzel, allow me to answer this since you refuse to answer when I lanced this boil the last time, the actions of WaPo is the proof, it's in the goddamn pudding. No it does not directly prove it, but their coverage strongly suggests that they in fact are colluding with the CIA. Quid pro quo, puto vos esse molestissimos.

  2595. "After a whole load of people died, and what of the people who didn't engage in protest against the injustice perpetuated on them were they worthy of death? Granted I'm not arguing that resistance doesn't get things done eventually, and for those that engage in this it's commendable." Freedom is not free. If you want it you have to prepared that you may suffer and lose, but stagnation and apathy never got anybody anywhere. "With that said you're compliant, to an extent everyone is, have you ever paid taxes? Ever thought this is a stupid rule but still followed it for fear of penalty." That depends, do your leaders fear you or do you fear your leaders. "There's a moral grey area there of course when it comes to complying with orders that directly hurt others, with that said the Milgram experiment and others like it show how easy it is for people to follow orders regardless of whether they're a good person or not." They complied without thinking, good or evil has no role in this. "People are easily manipulated, yes the way forward is though people waking up and fighting back I never said it wasn't but not everyone is a warrior, for those who are too cowardly, ignorant or working 3 jobs to keep their families from starving or to pay off medical bills to stay alive do they really deserve scorn? I'll admit I find your perspective interesting if not a little coldblooded." That is because they are told that there is no choice, that it is fate, that things bigger than them has power over their ability to chose and so they comply and become obedient. You know you can chose, when you know this you are free.

  2764. rollofnickles. Some of them are so incredibly easy to spot, you see the same legion of near identical or actually identical messages and posts on multiple platforms, here an example of one, note the spacing, sloppy work. Picked this up in three different variations on the 27th I think. Share Blue Uranium One damage control, off course the right has their versions of this, but at least they are more imaginative. "Dude, if you think the dossier is only about the "pee pee tape", you are severely misinformed. The pee tape is the LEAST relevant of the accusations in the dossier. Nobody really cares about the pee tape. Many of the accusations with actual legal issues have been corroborated. Not saying Trump colluded with Russia yet, because we have to wait until the end of the investigation to levy those kinds of claims. But it's fairly obvious both Paul Manafort and Mike Flynn DID conspire with Russia. The first charges have already been filed in the Russia probe, which means a Grand Jury would have had to seen definitive proof of wrongdoing in order to allow those charges to be filed. What, do you think everyone is making this shit up out of thin air? I know you are smart enough to realize that even the most biased (excluding the faux news sources like InfoWars) news sources don't just make things up out of thin air, they just frame stories in a way to benefit or deflect from "their side". Now, it's entirely possible that Trump didn't know about what Flynn and Manafort were doing, which would make him innocent. But please don't make these disingenuous Hannity talking points, this seems to be the only issue for which you have severe blinders on. I agree that Democrats are using the Russia scandal to deflect blame from Hillary, but the key word is "USING", not just making shit up. I also agree that Democrats need to stop blabbering about Russia and actually talk about things voters really care about. But that doesn't mean every piece of news that has come out about this is made up. Also, I'm no fan of Hillary (I think she is just as divisive as Trump on the left), but this doesn't really come close to "collusion", which isn't actually a real legal term. "Collusion" is not illegal, but conspiracy is. It is completely legal to pay an opposition researcher to investigate in other countries, as long as you are not getting your info directly from Russian officials (which is what the Trump campaign is accused of doing, along with possible money laundering in the form of payouts). And if it turns out that the Podesta was literally talking directly with Russian officials, then fine, I have no problem with anyone from the Hillary campaign going to jail. But that doesn't automatically make Trump innocent. It's like a rapist going to court with an argument of "well, other people in the past have gotten away with rape, so that means I shouldn't be prosecuted for my raping". It's a ridiculous argument. Like, what's wrong with investigating them BOTH? I don't really understand why you have such a problem with this being investigated, if they are innocent, then they will be exonerated at the end of it. I would think you would be pissed when campaigns break our already way too lax campaign finance laws, the Trump Russia thing can be a very strong argument for stricter campaign finance laws, but I guess you don't care when it comes to this specific issue. By the way, I realize I'm going to get a lot of hate on here for posting this, so I'm going to ignore the comments with ad hominems and no substance, but I am open to debating this here as long as it's civil and actually has substance instead of name-calling and pejoratives."

  2807. True Tech. Yes they did and she married some of them, she was rewarded financially for what is in effect a kind of unholy transaction, the deal was simple, she became wealthy and famous and in return they got a prop for their ego. I don't agree with her methods or theirs, but some people crave fame and others crave validation, reminds me of some Eurythmics lyrics. Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree? I travel the world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for something Some of them want to use you Some of them want to get used by you Some of them want to abuse you Some of them want to be abused Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree? I travel the world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for something Hold your head up, keep your head up, movin' on Hold your head up, movin' on, keep your head up, movin' on Hold your head up, movin' on, keep your head up, movin' on Hold your head up, movin' on, keep your head up Some of them want to use you Some of them want to get used by you Some of them want to abuse you Some of them want to be abused Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree? I travel the world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for something Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree? I travel the world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for something Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree? I travel the world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for something Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree? I travel the world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for something

  3006. Christopher Montemayor. You already lost it. Let me break down your confused incoherent lengthy ramblings using concise replies. "Are you trying to say, "a POSITIVE reply manufactures," little man?? :D" No. http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/positively "So, by definition (and your own admission, Captain of the Debate Team), a rhetorical question does not/should not require an answer. If questions #2 and #3 are "rhetorical"--- then WHY DID YOU ANSWER??* :D :D" I gave you rope, you choose to fashion a noose for your own executon. "If you find none of my sentences angry, then why did you make a cheesy/grammatically incorrect comment about how I'm "real angry"?" Because I simply do not care about you enough to use correct gramma. "If you knew (backtrack much? :D) that Jimmy Dore was pro-legalization (and that, in America, most ALL true progressive-liberals are on that same page), then why in the world did you single out my comment on Wyden's work" Because Wyden has a limited amount of time, how did he have time to spot an error in the tax bill if he's working with such fervour on legalization of a controlled substance? Where did I backtrack? Can you locate any such instance! You can't. "And, yes, Mr. Predictable, I already know your weak, misinformed little ass is gonna claim that at least my last two questions are (wait-for-it) "rhetorical"... :D (Rhetoric, in the classical sense, is clearly not your forte...)" But in the very real sense rhetoric is my forte my friend. Be well Chrissy, this is over.

  3278. Korgull. Women and minorities aren't prevented in any legal way from obtaining work, wtf are you talking about? MLK worked for citizens!!!, US citizens, not for illegals which has proven to drive down wages for the poor because they cannot compete with them, it's facts, not this fiction you promote. Furthermore by draining countries of able-bodied individuals the countries of origin experiences less social mobility also, it's facts, not your silly fiction. "The problem is still capitalism, not immigrants, not women, not people of colour, not automation. Those are distractions, and rallying behind these distractions just because members of the working class have fallen victim to these distraction tactics does not help the working class in the slightest." What distraction tactic, it's supply and demand? "And what "left" are you even talking about? Because the vast majority of leftists are so anti-war, they speak out in defence of North Korea against American provocations and imperialism." But not in Libya, Syria, Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan, nope, you muster to defend Kim the third of his name, the NK government has concentration camps ffs, personally I think they should be left alone and cordoned off. In fact we should forget NK exists. "And the only one legitimately talking about healthcare and education in the US is Bernie Sanders, even though he is only a moderate, he's still left of centre" He's a Social Democrat(moderate Socialist) which means he lives in the real World and deals with real problems. But he has no power and parts of the far left acted in concert with Clinton to sabotage his campaign(BLM, feminists, La Raza). "I'm a socialist, so while I support the fight for increased wages, minimum and otherwise, ultimately, my desired end goal is a society where the working class take control of the work place and, instead, work for the collective prosperity of the working class and the people. I desire the end of wage labour entirely, and that will be achieved when the working class take control by any means necessary, and it will be easier for them to do that the more workers there are. They should openly work with immigrants, illegal or otherwise, and fight together for their common benefit against their common enemy. And fuck ICE, the working class has a wonderful history of fighting pig scum." No, you're a violent Communist, unlike Sanders who is an actual Socialist and understands supply and demand and the importance of the Nation State as vehicle for prosperity. "All workers are part of the global working class, and the working class must protect its own against the provocations of its enemies." I doubt you know any workers.

  3537. YTPartyTonight. Another piece of the NYT article, does this methodology seem familiar... "The campaign didn’t go into much detail, at the time, about exactly how it used Facebook. But St. Clair put it in fairly stark terms when I talked to him at A.M.G.’s temporary offices in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in April. They started with a list that grew to a million people who had signed into the campaign Web site through Facebook. When people opted to do so, they were met with a prompt asking to grant the campaign permission to scan their Facebook friends lists, their photos and other personal information. In another prompt, the campaign asked for access to the users’ Facebook news feeds, which 25 percent declined, St. Clair said. Once permission was granted, the campaign had access to millions of names and faces they could match against their lists of persuadable voters, potential donors, unregistered voters and so on. “It would take us 5 to 10 seconds to get a friends list and match it against the voter list,” St. Clair said. They found matches about 50 percent of the time, he said. But the campaign’s ultimate goal was to deputize the closest Obama-supporting friends of voters who were wavering in their affections for the president. “We would grab the top 50 you were most active with and then crawl their wall” to figure out who were most likely to be their real-life friends, not just casual Facebook acquaintances. St. Clair, a former high-school marching-band member who now wears a leather Diesel jacket, explained: “We asked to see photos but really we were looking for who were tagged in photos with you, which was a really great way to dredge up old college friends — and ex-girlfriends,” he said."

  3940. Are you sure about that or if it's even solely US interests, there is a Korean Company that's seems to be the hub for a lot of companies dividing the loot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_National_Oil_Corporation Those locales seem to overlap with this and their partners are all kinds of shady from Russia, India and China. And there is this. The story is oil and natural gas in the levantine basin and two competing pipelines and also the Saudi's are running out of oil soon, so they are in a state of panic that they won't be America's special needs theocracy retarded friend anymore. That's why Aramco, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Aramco, want's to get hold of some new Oil in Syria, Libya and Somalia in cahoots with the USA. The USA wants Putin and friends replaced in Russia and they want to install a friendly puppet in Iran also, no Saudi oil means that the USA needs a new source of oil they can control. This article explains it along with a wiki on the matter. http://oilprice.com/Energy/Oil-Prices/Could-This-Be-Saudi-Arabias-Best-Kept-Secret.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_reserves_in_Saudi_Arabia Everybody else, especially China and India are covertly supporting the Russians and the Iranians in their efforts to block the Saudi/US attempt to shore up their failing economic mutual interests. The members and observers of this group is that alliance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Cooperation_Organisation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_the_Shanghai_Cooperation_Organisation

  4347. "1st you can dissprove what Peterson says cause nothing he says is a scientifically valid point at all. Nothing falsifable or testable. Only pure ideology." So is post modernism, no more than an ideology. "I am not sure about which postmodernists you speak about but Derrida's claim is that you can dissprove a claim only within it's own axioms. Therefore as long as my interpretation of the world does not include making me obstruct other people create their own interpreation of the world, than I should be free to interprate the world in this way." You are not free to interpret the world as you see fit because the world contains other actual human beings, the thought is not enough in itself. "I think every modern postmodernist would agrree that Science is an exception." This sentiment is a product of modernity, not the post modern. "Everyone should find an interpretation of the world that works for him without hurting the rest of us" Which is Utopian and as such we again hit the wall of reality, how to act in it when there is plurality of thought some of which does not share that sentiment, then harm can become necessary to safeguard the whole and the whole is based on the beliefs of actual people. Example: Cannibalism is wrong, why?, because it just is. Jordan on the other hand is using pseudo evolutionary psychology backed by no data(atleast he never presented us with the data) and some wierd absolute, yet unfalsifiable claims about the world. Neither does the post modernists, they too traffic in pure ideas.

  4583. J3West. Way out west there was this fella... fella I wanna tell ya about. Fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. Mr. Lebowski, he called himself "The Dude". Now, "Dude" - that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place so darned interestin'. They call Los Angeles the "City Of Angels." I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow there are some nice folks there. 'Course I can't say I've seen London, and I ain't never been to France. And I ain't never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the feller says. But I'll tell you what - after seeing Los Angeles, and this here story I'm about to unfold, well, I guess I seen somethin' every bit as stupefyin' as you'd see in any of them other places. And in English, too. So I can die with a smile on my face, without feelin' like the good Lord gypped me. Now this here story I'm about to unfold took place back in the early '90s - just about the time of our conflict with Sad'm and the I-raqis. I only mention it because sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? But sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude, in Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. But sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced him enough.

Silly us; turns out that money isn't all that important if you can conflate entertainment with the electoral process. Trump masters TV, TV so-called news picks up and repeats and repeats to death this opinionated blowhard and his hairbrained ideas, free-floating discontent attaches to a seeming strongman and we're off and running. JFK, Jr would be delighted by all this as his "George" magazine saw celebrity politics coming. The magazine struggled as it was ahead of its time but now looks prescient. George, of course, played the development pretty lightly, basically for charm and gossip, like People, but what we are dealing with now is dead serious. How does this get handled in the general? Secretary Clinton is not an entertainer, and not a celebrity in the Trump, Kardashian mold; what can she do to offset this? I'm certain the poll-directed insiders are sure things will default to policy as soon as the conventions are over, but I think not. And as I've mentioned, we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging. Rubio's press conference yesterday AM was good and should be repeated in its entirety, not just in nibbles. I will attend the Clinton fundraiser here next week but as I can only afford the low level of participation may just get to wave without a "hello." I fear we are all now trying to navigate a set of forces that cannot be simply explained or fully understood, so it is and will reamin interesting! Sent with a handshake, Bill" https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3599

This bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to impose a carbon tax based on the carbon content of primary fossil fuels. The tax would be imposed on any taxable fuel—coal (including lignite and peat), petroleum and any petroleum product, and natural gas—which is extracted, manufactured, or produced in the United States or entered into the United States for consumption, use, or warehousing. H.R. 2069:Save Our Climate Act of 2007. This bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to impose a carbon tax based on the carbon content of primary fossil fuels. The tax would be imposed on any taxable fuel—coal (including lignite and peat), petroleum and any petroleum product, and natural gas—which is extracted, manufactured, or produced in the United States or entered into the United States for consumption, use, or warehousing. The tax would be imposed on the manufacturer, producer, or importer of that fuel, and would start at $10 per ton of carbon in such fuel. The bill directs the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Energy to determine the carbon content of taxable fuels. For each calendar year beginning after 2008, the tax will increase at a rate of $10 per year, until the level of US CO2 emissions does not exceed 20% of 1990 levels, as determined by the Energy Information Administration. Sponsor: Rep. Fortney Stark (D-CA) (1 cosponsor) H.R. 3416: America’s Energy Security Trust Fund Act of 2007. This bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to impose a tax on the carbon dioxide content of coal (including lignite and peat), petroleum and any petroleum product, and natural gas, which is extracted, manufactured, or produced in the United States or entered into the United States for consumption, use, or warehousing. Beginning in 2008, the bill would impose a tax of $15 per ton of CO2 content, increasing incrementally each year thereafter. The bill provides for tax refunds for generated CO2 that is sequestered or offset by a qualified offset project. Revenues generated by the tax would fund the America’s Energy Security trust fund, which would be used for clean energy technology research and development, industry transition assistance, and payroll tax relief.

  4988. Fox Ace I was merely pointing out that I in fact live in a functioning very left leaning society, meaning that my experiences validates some of my points about the reality of the supposed ideal Sanders was elevating as the ideal and of how Social Democracy functions in reality. There is empirical proof all the way from the French revolution and onward that the attempt to forcibly change society to an ideological ideal is doomed to failure, hence the tyranny of equality statement. History provides amble proof that the Marxist puritan interpretation without any sound practical real world adaptation is a flawed proposition because Marx only has a sound grasp of economics, not of psychology or sociology. So my cause for concern is based on real World examples of the tyranny of equals. Liberal Socialism is an admixture where the ideologue realises that reality will not conform to the model and changes it in order to create a more fair society without destroying the human desire for individual expression and ambition. They did this because they had the example of the Soviet Union as an deterrent which conclusively proved what an abject failure unmodified dogmatic Marxism is. Yes people can as Individuals off course band together and attempt to create Worker Cooperatives, as early as in the 1820's this happened in Northern Europe based on Liberal economic ideas and Conservative Christian communal theology. Later Socialists did the same and many both right and left wing cooperatives exists and are formed to this day, but once they grow to a certain size the members usually transform them into a publicly traded company and adopt a structure that is familial to the market as a whole. That's allows for the best off both worlds, private and communal enterprise without one excluding the other, the idea is not and has never been in Social Democracy to replace capitalism completely, the fact that capitalism is not without it's merits is acknowledged.

  4990. Giovanni Figueroa I know you really want to believe that the east was a veritable paradise. But market reforms did not happen immediately, nor was the governments overthrown on the very day the Iron curtain fell. I went there just immediately after to see how things were. Both sides in the Cold war committed acts of genocide, overthrew local rulers, regimes and so on, both sides engaged in support for cruel local tyrants who sought to gain favor as to remain power, those wars were not fought for world revolution by the Communists, they were fought to control strategic resources and commercial choke points. A case in point of how little the ideology of the regime had on the different actors foreign policies are the overthrow of the Greek monarchy by the CIA or the Chinese invasion of Vietnam. In terms of populations genocided within the different communist regime, do not delude yourself, Tunguts in China, Chechens in the Soviet Union, Hmong in Vietnam, the list is long and to mention all the ethnic groups here would be a very long list. Then there is off course the persecution of religious groups as forces of the reactionaries which also would take quite a few lines of text to summarise and tally. Do the secret services in democratic parliamentary system spy and manipulate their own populace for the executive in service of large corporations, yes they do, do the same services run a gigantic network of blackmailed citizens and indoctrinate children to report the thought crimes of their parents, no they don't, but in your Marxist paradise this was and is the case in Cuba, China, North Korea and Vietnam still. Do we operate a insane system of labor camps and reeducation facilities for political prisoners, no we don't, do we have a prison industrial complex that exploits the labor of petty criminals, yes we do and so did the communists countries but on a far larger scale than you could possibly imagine. Here's a left wing "hero" explaining the cause of the dumbing down of the populace of the USA, if you require some one to blame for the unenligthened citizenry,blame him and his cohorts as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Ayers https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3599 As to the point of an exceedingly small number of dissidents you mention being a small number, what precise small number are you talking about, in the real world communists murdered more human beings for the crime of being reactionaries/dissidents/counter revolutionaries than Parliamentarist democracies and Fascist autocrats combined from 1917 to 1990 did in colonial and imperial wars. Socialist economies did not fail because of embargoes, they did not fail because of lack of resources of any kind, they failed because in a society of enforced equality the exceptional human being is eliminated because that persons mere success proves the fallacy of the model or if such an individual is not murdered it is because he or she conforms and thus automatically neutralises all innovation or technological progress only in the early stages while sufficient intellectual capacity remains can the system survive. This contradiction between the technological requirements for Communism to succeed an its inability to facilitate such progress makes it go into a spiral of stagnation. After a while arts no longer creates new expressions because any new art would by definition either be complimentary or critical, in the case of complimentary art the problem remains, it does not create a new form of artistic expression, critical art will automatically be considered counter revolutionary in its very nature by the government because any critique by an artist would by a critique of the supposed perfect society and thus exposed the inbuilt flaws of the supposed utopia. Finally there is the generational psychological impulse of the young to rebel against the old, the gods killing their young in every myth across the globe is no accident, the younger generation has throughout human history rebelled against the old. but how can there be rebellion in paradise and so the communist state again will deem the young counter revolutionaries with predictable homocidal results.

  5035. Well, we all thought the big problem for our US democracy was Citizens United/Koch Brothers big money in politics. Silly us; turns out that money isn't all that important if you can conflate entertainment with the electoral process. Trump masters TV, TV so-called news picks up and repeats and repeats to death this opinionated blowhard and his hairbrained ideas, free-floating discontent attaches to a seeming strongman and we're off and running. JFK, Jr would be delighted by all this as his "George" magazine saw celebrity politics coming. The magazine struggled as it was ahead of its time but now looks prescient. George, of course, played the development pretty lightly, basically for charm and gossip, like People, but what we are dealing with now is dead serious. How does this get handled in the general? Secretary Clinton is not an entertainer, and not a celebrity in the Trump, Kardashian mold; what can she do to offset this? I'm certain the poll-directed insiders are sure things will default to policy as soon as the conventions are over, but I think not. And as I've mentioned, we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging. Rubio's press conference yesterday AM was good and should be repeated in its entirety, not just in nibbles. I will attend the Clinton fundraiser here next week but as I can only afford the low level of participation may just get to wave without a "hello."

  5148. Well, we all thought the big problem for our US democracy was Citizens United/Koch Brothers big money in politics. Silly us; turns out that money isn't all that important if you can conflate entertainment with the electoral process. Trump masters TV, TV so-called news picks up and repeats and repeats to death this opinionated blowhard and his hairbrained ideas, free-floating discontent attaches to a seeming strongman and we're off and running. JFK, Jr would be delighted by all this as his "George" magazine saw celebrity politics coming. The magazine struggled as it was ahead of its time but now looks prescient. George, of course, played the development pretty lightly, basically for charm and gossip, like People, but what we are dealing with now is dead serious. How does this get handled in the general? Secretary Clinton is not an entertainer, and not a celebrity in the Trump, Kardashian mold; what can she do to offset this? I'm certain the poll-directed insiders are sure things will default to policy as soon as the conventions are over, but I think not. And as I've mentioned, we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging. Rubio's press conference yesterday AM was good and should be repeated in its entirety, not just in nibbles. I will attend the Clinton fundraiser here next week but as I can only afford the low level of participation may just get to wave without a "hello."

  5483. Travis Himebaugh "Can't speak for the others but Scotch identity is in no jeopardy of going extinct. Scottish people of all nations are downright obnoxious about keeping it alive. " How many Gaelic speakers remain in Scotland, not many, the Scots obsess about their identity because their identity is under a constant assault. "How is the nation they live in not a nation of their own?" Kurds are in violent revolt against the governments of the countries they inhabit because their language and customs are declared illegal. Catalans experienced extreme oppression in Spain many times, the last such period was under Franco and the last they have to tried to become independent was simultaneous to the recent Scottish referendum. The Scots have a vocal opposition to the Government in Westminster because they claim it is a government that serves the interests of England. "First of all I am afraid in the name of pedantry I must insist that you use question marks where appropriate. Second of all you keep asking that; just tell me what you're getting at" Okay, now you are being extremely obtuse, how are you going to replace the nation state without destroying the dominant ethnos in each state?. "I told you I had no vision of any kind of world like that." You did exactly that in this sentence below. "I fail to see how that's relevant. If we know it works in a city, why could the model not simply be applied to American cities with the same result?" Followed by this retraction below which renders the example of Singapore as a model null and void. Because Singapore as a state has all the power of a state to act independently, something a American metropolis cannot. " I wasn't suggesting each state become a separate state, just that they adopt Singapore's economic model. " "That's already the case now. " Yes and no, the citizens of New York are Americans first and New Yorkers second. Not vice versa. "Chaos? Because the United States disbands as a political nation and cities become the new political unit? I hate to break it to you but that's pretty much how the Holy Roman Empire operated and it wasn't exactly total unbridled chaos. " Thirty Years war, the Hussite revolt, Schmalkaldic league, the Guelphs and the Ghibellines. That was internal strife in the Holy Roman empire with widespread devastation and chaos. "I think perhaps you meant to use a word like "untenable" or "undesirable"; you have not described any cyclical phenomena so far as I can discern." The Holy Roman Empire is an excellent example of such fragmentation of the cohesive whole by a new order. Followed by the creation of another system of states.

  5494. slothkingn1. "How is it ignoring free will to acknowledge that people are born into different circumstances? How is it someone's fault if their parents are ignorant. Nice resorting to petty insults when someone doesn't agree with you. I'm not arguing that it's impossible for the working class to beat the odds, serfs in England did the same, with that said those circumstances are entirely different and even then it was neigh impossible people were sent to Australia in prison ships for agitating. " And they kept fighting and in the end they won. "My point being that you're awfully judgemental of the people who aren't taking back their society should everyone be a whistle-blower or an activist what about people with kids? " Then they chose a dismal future for their children. "Choice undeniably exists within these structures but usually changing society demands self sacrifice and even then you're not assured that you will win. " If you chose not to fight you will never win. "You say I totally ignore free will, but again you're completely ignoring everything besides an individual's choices it's like the assumption that as long as there's choices it's your fault whatever happens to you happens to you. " You are aware that you have choice, you make choices every day either to comply or disobey, compliance is a child of fear, disobedience is a child of hope. To comply is to obey. This is from the Iliad, it's about choice. "So they entreated their dear son with tears. But all their earnest pleas could not change Hector’s mind, and he waited on great Achilles’ advance. Like a snake in the hills, full of venom due to the toxic herbs it eats, that glares balefully and writhes inside its hole, waiting as some man approaches, so Hector held his ground, filled with latent power, his bright shield resting on a jutting outwork. But his proud thoughts were troubled: ‘Alas, if I retreat through the gate, to the safety of the wall, Polydamas will not be slow to reproach me, since he advised me to withdraw our forces to the city, on that fatal night when Achilles re-appeared. I refused, though it may have been better! Now, in my folly, having brought us to the brink of ruin, I’d be ashamed to hear some insignificant Trojan, or his long-robed wife, say: ‘Hector has brought ruin on the army, trusting too much in his own right arm.’ If that’s what they’ll say, then I’d be better by far to meet Achilles face to face and kill him before returning to the city, or die gloriously beneath its walls. Of course, I could ditch the bossed shield and heavy helmet, lean my spear on the wall, and go and promise peerless Achilles to return Helen and her treasure to the Atreidae, all that Paris brought in the hollow ships to Troy, to begin this strife. I could say too that we’ll then divide all the remaining treasure in the city, and then induce the Elders to state on oath that they’ll conceal no part of that treasure, but grant half of all the lovely city holds. But what’s the point of such thoughts? I’ll not approach him like a suppliant only to have him show neither mercy nor respect, but kill me out of hand, stripped of my armour and defenceless as a woman. This is no lover’s tryst of lad and lass, by oak or rock! Lad and lass, indeed! Better to meet in bloody combat, now, and see to whom Zeus grants the glory!"

  5539. Well, we all thought the big problem for our US democracy was Citizens United/Koch Brothers big money in politics. Silly us; turns out that money isn't all that important if you can conflate entertainment with the electoral process. Trump masters TV, TV so-called news picks up and repeats and repeats to death this opinionated blowhard and his hairbrained ideas, free-floating discontent attaches to a seeming strongman and we're off and running. JFK, Jr would be delighted by all this as his "George" magazine saw celebrity politics coming. The magazine struggled as it was ahead of its time but now looks prescient. George, of course, played the development pretty lightly, basically for charm and gossip, like People, but what we are dealing with now is dead serious. How does this get handled in the general? Secretary Clinton is not an entertainer, and not a celebrity in the Trump, Kardashian mold; what can she do to offset this? I'm certain the poll-directed insiders are sure things will default to policy as soon as the conventions are over, but I think not. And as I've mentioned, we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging. Rubio's press conference yesterday AM was good and should be repeated in its entirety, not just in nibbles. I will attend the Clinton fundraiser here next week but as I can only afford the low level of participation may just get to wave without a "hello."

  5644. @Mister Paldon What is the purpose of the United States Military and the clandestine services of the US, their sole purpose is this, control the extraction and transport of very specific resources, the vassals of the US aid in this, France has been given Dominion over the Maghreb, West Africa, Central Africa, Britain in Eastern Africa and Southern Africa. These resources are traded in three specific currencies only, the dollar, the Euro, the pound sterling, this increases demand for all three currencies, if the US forinstance were to stop this policy the demand for dollar would reflect actual production domestically, the dollar would lose significant value, it's therefore clear that the pollution of the stratosphere is unavoidable as long as this policy is in effect maintaining the hegemon, these policies also cause war, political instability and ultimately migrants from the wartorn or politically unstable nations affected, the nations who either outright refuse or attempt to use other currencies or if they just attempt to nationalize these resources are immediately targeted. The machine in order to legitimise this encompasses almost all media, one US government goes to war for freedom, another for human rights, once the disaster of war is unleashed the very same people who made the implements of war profits from the wounded in two remarkable ways, one by selling pharmaceutical in the regular fashion(or they donate past last use date pharmaceuticals and get a tax deductible in return, past date penicillin does horrible things to human beings) or they donate to NGOs(which grants them a tax deductible) and these NGOs then buy products to alleviate the plight of refugees from the very same companies that manufacture the accoutements of war. This is but a few facets of the machine. The cheap labor that refugees desperate for food grants is another aspect, need miners in a country next to a war torn country, these unfortunates are desperate, they'll work in open pit mines with dangerous chemicals, the very same interests once more profit, invest in arms and in the mining industry next to the nation torn to shreds, win, win.

  5678. The5armdamput33. In case you doubts how insane their agit prop is, here are one of their articles. The Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement has sought since its inception to spread nationwide, and create international connections to further the cause of abolitionism and revolutionary anarchism. Today, August 20, 2017, we are proud to announce the formation of the Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement – Philadelphia Branch (RAM Philly). With the growth of each new branch we inch ever closer to the day when we can realize our revolutionary aspirations, live in a world of true freedom, and decisively eradicate the abhorrence of 21st century slavery. The struggle in the US seems like an unrelenting weight being pushed down on revolutionary forces, but that same force has been bearing down on criminalized communities for decades with no reprieve. Mosques are being ruthlessly bombed, state agencies and vigilante groups are deporting Latino people with relentless vigor, LGBTQ people are being battered, and the destruction of black life continues unabated as millions languish in the plantations of the modern day slave system. Immersed in these struggles, against the state and its white supremacist militias, we are developing the capacity to liberate ourselves and others. We fight side by side with those facing state and reactionary violence and with each person we free from captivity the stronger we grow. As demonstrated by our resistance in Charlottesville, we will not cede one inch of ground to racists. As each new collective forms, we begin to create new political realities and continue the march together against white supremacy and for a dignified world. We continue in the legacy of Philadelphia’s rich revolutionary tradition, demonstrated by Mumia Abu Jamal, Russell Maroon Shoatz, and the MOVE organization. We are now establishing a revolutionary political movement that can confront the challenges ahead of us, and together with Philadelphia based comrades, we are taking one step closer. Victory to Those Behind the Barricades! Victory to Those Behind Prison Walls! Victory to Revolutionary Forces! Long live RAM Philly!

  5816. N.R. Trice. Ah, but it gets even worse, imagine you're a big pharma exec, there is a war, casualties, blood in streets, murdered infants, this crisis is an opportunity, you sell a tonne of drugs to the rebels, the governments, to the NGO's and the UN responders, then you donate a little of your profits to charity and get a tax break. And now you're rolling in cash, what to do with all this cash, you invest in infrastructure to rebuild the war ravaged nations when the killing finally stops with death of the last able bodied fighter, bonus profits are of course available at the prosthetic limb department and the painkiller department and you set up another charity supplying those and get another tax break. Additional bonus round, you hire desperate refugees as workers and pay them less than unionized workers, it's brilliant for the exec and the shareholderrs, viagra pills manufactured by amputee children, win win win. Edit: I forgot about the abundance of missing persons in a warzone, can you say organ snatchers and human trafficking, there's another part of the horror flick that is reality. "Bring meat trucks Mahmoud, we put the kiddies in the ones with malfunctioning refrigation units and sell them in Sarajevo, we put the dead in the ones with functioning refrigation units, doctor whom we force to work for us will get those kidneys and livers out and we sell them to Vor or Camorristas in Naples and Moscow. And Mahmoud, remember to pack the tires with heroin for the Ndrangheta."

  5943. Korgull. I'm not lying you serial denier, off course he said that, but why do you think the very same elites who once sponsored stopped giving him and his allies money, think ffs, they stopped helping him as soon as he started talking about poverty that plagues all regardless of complexion. Speech you referred to. http://nuwla.com/martin-luther-king-jr-we-are-coming-to-get-our-cheque/ Here is why they stopped funding him. "We have come a long way in our understanding of human motivation and of the blind operation of our economic system. Now we realize that dislocations in the market operation of our economy and the prevalence of discrimination thrust people into idleness and bind them in constant or frequent unemployment against their will. The poor are less often dismissed from our conscience today by being branded as inferior and incompetent. We also know that no matter how dynamically the economy develops and expands it does not eliminate all poverty. [...] The problem indicates that our emphasis must be two-fold. We must create full employment or we must create incomes. People must be made consumers by one method or the other. Once they are placed in this position, we need to be concerned that the potential of the individual is not wasted. New forms of work that enhance the social good will have to be devised for those for whom traditional jobs are not available." And this. "The contemporary tendency in our society is to base our distribution on scarcity, which has vanished, and to compress our abundance into the overfed mouths of the middle and upper classes until they gag with superfluity. If democracy is to have breadth of meaning, it is necessary to adjust this inequity. It is not only moral, but it is also intelligent. We are wasting and degrading human life by clinging to archaic thinking. The curse of poverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization, when men ate each other because they had not yet learned to take food from the soil or to consume the abundant animal life around them. The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty."

  5986. J. I disagree, it's extremely relevant, the entire entertainment industry rewards the worst traits in humanity and because the people who rise to the top are insulated from consequence by wealth and fame there is no checks to stop it from happening. I wrote the following in response to another comment, it explains how I think the people have risen through the ranks to dominate the entertainment industry and why they act like Weinstein. You know that there are an additional component to this, people who desire wealth, fame and power often possess very little impulse control or selfworth, they are driven towards attaining these things to compensate for that lack of connection they have to others which in turn provides them with what they lack through coercion and force, hence only the vile and cruel prosper, in a industry based on the worship of the self and superficiality such individuals will be represented in far greater numbers than in the average population, the reason for their obsession with appearance and youth is simple, they fear death, they fear it because they have sacrificed every vestige of their humanity to rise to the top of the shitheap, but once they are there they driven by fear of the ambitious younger versions of themselves and by the realization that all the wealth, power and fame cannot avert the one certainty in life, namely death. That's the void in their psyche/soul they are trying to fill with meaningless petty cruelty, in this regard they are no different than a spiteful SS kommandant who orders the camp population killed before the allies liberate them and just after the order is given pops a cyanide capsule. Their common maxim is simple, if I suffer despite my power and cannot avert death, so must all whom I have power over suffer and die.

  6060. Silly Green Fairy. Procedure, first you contact the DHS, ICE falls under their auspices, then you are granted a permit, surprisingly they grant these permits readily to large corporate news outlets, such as CNN or Time, neither of which are even remotely banned from entering facilities and gather photographic evidence and verbal testimonies, independent journalists are of course denied entry, that has been the modus operandi for the last 24 years, that makes Times use of this photo even more suspect, an entity which has access chooses not to use it and instead rely on a sketchy source to promote a narrative, this narrative is then magnified by other outlets, all these outlets were in the Podesta emails decribed as allies of the Clinton machine. Google is a corporation, they like any corporations have an agenda, their search engine actively pushes their agenda, in this instance the free movement of people which would cause the abolition/weakening of the nation state and that ensures increased profits for Google, why you may ask, the nation state is the only entity with enough legitimacy to challenge multinational corporations if the leadership of the nation state chooses to do so, in the US the application of anti trust against a monopoly would severely harm Google and so they would support aything which destroys or weakens the integrity of the nation state in order to maintain their monopoly. During the presidential primary these outlets villified Sanders and propped up Trump, it was deemed that Trump was the preferred opponent due to he fact that even the insiders in the Clinton campaign correctly ascertained that their candidate was deeply unpopular due to her blatant corruption and her utter lack of charisma. Google's parent company, Alphabet Incorporated financially backed Clinton and their applications were promoting pro Clinton stories, the deal between Alphabet Inc. and the Clinton machine was simply, your candidate becomes president and in return nobody would even mention Anti Trust. The independent media isn't truly independent if they have investors, these investors also have an agenda, you should always check who pays a source before you trust a source.

  6096. Robert Richardson. Pre columbian population of Santo Domingo. Early population estimates of Hispaniola, probably the most populous island inhabited by Taínos, range from 100,000 to 1,000,000 people. The maximum estimates for Jamaica and Puerto Rico are 600,000 people.[49] The Spanish priest Bartolomé de las Casas (who had lived in Santo Domingo) wrote in his 1561 multi-volume History of the Indies:[50] There were 60,000 people living on this island [when I arrived in 1508], including the Indians; so that from 1494 to 1508, over three million people had perished from war, slavery and the mines. Who in future generations will believe this? Researchers today doubt Las Casas's figures for the pre-contact levels of the Taíno population, considering them an exaggeration. For example, Anderson Córdova estimates a maximum of 500,000 people inhabiting the island.[51] The Taíno population estimates vary a great deal, from a few hundred thousand up to 8,000,000.[52] They had no resistance to Old World diseases, notably smallpox.[53] The encomienda system brought many Taíno to work in the fields and mines in exchange for Spanish protection,[54] education, and a seasonal salary.[55] Under the pretense of searching for gold and other materials,[56] many Spaniards took advantage of the regions now under control of the anaborios and Spanish encomenderos to exploit the native population by stealing their land and wealth. It would take some time before the Taíno revolted against their oppressors — both Indian and Spanish alike — and many military campaigns before Emperor Charles V eradicated the encomienda system as a form of slavery.[57][58] In thirty years, between 80% and 90% of the Taíno population died.[59] Because of the increased number of people (Spanish) on the island, there was a higher demand for food. Taíno cultivation was converted to Spanish methods. In hopes of frustrating the Spanish, some Taínos refused to plant or harvest their crops. The supply of food became so low in 1495 and 1496 that some 50,000 died from the severity of the famine.[60] Historians have determined that the massive decline was due more to infectious disease outbreaks than any warfare or direct attacks.[61][62] By 1507 their numbers had shrunk to 60,000. Scholars believe that epidemic disease (smallpox, influenza, measles, and typhus) was the overwhelming cause of the population decline of the indigenous people.[63][64][65]

  6102. Robert Richardson. "You're being ridiculous, re: Libya and Syria. I pointed out that they Columbus landed on an island full of peaceful people, which they were by any rational definition of the term. Peaceful people does not mean "pacifist" or "never ever ever uses violence"! It simply means they live in peace, and are not a warlike, violence-centered culture (you could argue that the Carib were the latter). This isn't rocket science." Yes, yes, yes, obviously angry because you now begin to understand the rationale for colonialism was identical to bomb country X with humanitarian bombs. Still portraying them as noble peaceful savages. Next you'll want to enlighten the people of Somalia with some Humanitarian bombs. "These people have little knowledge of fighting [...] with fifty men one could keep the whole population in subjection and make them do whatever one wanted." Or he noted their backward technological state. "Columbus saw their peacefulness as "easy to exploit", and reported it as such. And exploit he did, brutally... so brutally that he was eventually arrested (in part) for it. Later voyages saw him and his colleagues inventing the myth of the cannibal tribes (all the rest that the Spanish discovered, amazingly!) in order to justify what they did to them, since as I said, the Queen would only agree to the violent subjugation of violent cannibals, not regular indigenous people. I linked you to the book that talks about it." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanomami Related society https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_Caribs Caribs today. "Every report I have ever read about the Taino shows them fighting only in self-defense, either against the Carib or the Spanish. At most, they were "erratic retaliators", as is the case with most tribal peoples around the world. There is no evidence I have seen anywhere that suggests any of the Arawak peoples actually engaged in cannibalism. I am, however, aware that they likely wiped out the first colony Columbus left behind on his original voyage. Don't blame them for that." Lack of writing(no efficient communication), steel(poor weaponry) and horses(less efficient communication, no counter to shock tactics) makes for a poor match off. Nor do I blame anybody for fighting an invader, I'm just a realist when it comes to why they lost. "I am going on about this because it drives me batty to have you try to imply that I'm playing the Noble Savage rhetorical game. What I'm trying to do is show that the Arawak simply did nothing that in any way brought what happened to them upon themselves; I am treating them as I would any other group of people to which this might have happened." Apply the same logic to Arabs vs East Africans. "No scholar seriously disputes that Columbus initiated the trans-Atlantic slave trade as soon as he arrived, that he cut hands off of human beings in order to coerce the others to bring him the gold after which he lusted, and that he was such a brutal tyrant that even some of his own people rebelled against him for it... to the point he was arrested!" He was arrested by members of the noble caste(Hidalgos) who resented being commanded by a commoner, then they proceeded to chop off hands and murder just like he did. "Why in the world would we celebrate this guy? Why in the world should we get into big arguments over whether the natives somehow deserved or earned what he did to them, rather than simply saying "Cool. We stopped naming a holiday after a murdering, tyrannical fuckwad and named it instead in honor of the indigenous peoples of the continent. Good move."" No need to celebrate him, no need to celebrate the natives either, it's all BS for cheap political points.

  6304.  @HesderOleh  Russia has allies/vassals, such as Iran and Syria, the US has other vassals, such as Israel and Saudi Arabia, then you have other players who switch sides once in a while or aren't important enough to warrant full support. Turkey recently had an attempted coup against Erdogan, some geniuses in the US state Departent and in Jerusalem thought that getting rid of Erdogan just like that was feasible, it failed, then Erdogan went to Moscow and thanked the Russians for warning him of the impending coup, that's why he wasn't in Ankara when the plotters launched it, then he bought some bang bangs as a thank you for services rendered and the Russians got to test their SAM against NATO planes, win win, recently Trump decided to make Erdogan an offer(NATO SAMs, free reign to curb stomp Kurds and no more Saudi interference in Turkey), so we'll see what happens next. I think Iran is testing their gear and I think Israel is testing their gear, I also think Syria would be a lot less hostile if Israel retreated from the Golan Heights. Egypt was once a dangerous enemy of Israel,, these days not so much, retreating from the Sinai resolved the conflict, the same thing would happen if Israel retreated from the Golan, anybody with functioning brain knows that a eternal armistice and a unresolved border dispute leads to a permanent state of low intensity conflict, dropping bombs on Syria won't resolve it, Israel could attempt to Invade Syria and install a puppet regime, but that's not going to work, Israel tried to do that in Lebanon with disastrous results. Hezbollah, it's Hezbollah in English.

  6589. Aaron Hoy. Slight disagreement on whether colonialism or neo colonialism caused more deaths(relative to population), in some colonies the conquest actually increased the relative wealth and freedoms enjoyed by the populace. This all depended on which colonial power conquered the colony in question and what kind of society was conquered. Neo colonialism despite its many failures was on the whole far less deadly than outright colonialism, people often forget the destruction caused by the French, the Russians, the Portuguese, the Dutch, the Germans, the Ottoman, the Qing and the Japanese during the colonial era after the congress of Vienna and until the end of WW1, perhaps because British and American historians had less of an interest in documenting(ideological reasons perhaps) or insight into the actions of said empires. My original point of contention is simple, if we both agree that the leadership of both political wings has become completely beholden to certain interests and that both campaigns engaged in certain tricks to win the election, then my question is simply this, why do you support the prosecution of the winner of the election when this obviously supports the untenable status quo. The whole idea of a so-called lesser evil enables this to continue, a rational response would be to reject the leadership and the narratives presented wholesale of both wings, if you do not do this nothing will change and if nothing changes then the dynamics of what can best be described as an empire trap in combination with the dangers related to a fossil fuel based economy will eventually cause a complete breakdown.

  6668. fedos. Fascism, as outlined by Mussolini and Gentile, the abbreviated version of that horrible shit show. Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. It thus repudiates the doctrine of Pacifism -- born of a renunciation of the struggle and an act of cowardice in the face of sacrifice. War alone brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have courage to meet it. All other trials are substitutes, which never really put men into the position where they have to make the great decision -- the alternative of life or death.... ...The Fascist accepts life and loves it, knowing nothing of and despising suicide: he rather conceives of life as duty and struggle and conquest, but above all for others -- those who are at hand and those who are far distant, contemporaries, and those who will come after... ...Fascism [is] the complete opposite of…Marxian Socialism, the materialist conception of history of human civilization can be explained simply through the conflict of interests among the various social groups and by the change and development in the means and instruments of production.... Fascism, now and always, believes in holiness and in heroism; that is to say, in actions influenced by no economic motive, direct or indirect. And if the economic conception of history be denied, according to which theory men are no more than puppets, carried to and fro by the waves of chance, while the real directing forces are quite out of their control, it follows that the existence of an unchangeable and unchanging class-war is also denied - the natural progeny of the economic conception of history. And above all Fascism denies that class-war can be the preponderant force in the transformation of society.... After Socialism, Fascism combats the whole complex system of democratic ideology, and repudiates it, whether in its theoretical premises or in its practical application. Fascism denies that the majority, by the simple fact that it is a majority, can direct human society; it denies that numbers alone can govern by means of a periodical consultation, and it affirms the immutable, beneficial, and fruitful inequality of mankind, which can never be permanently leveled through the mere operation of a mechanical process such as universal suffrage.... ...Fascism denies, in democracy, the absur[d] conventional untruth of political equality dressed out in the garb of collective irresponsibility, and the myth of "happiness" and indefinite progress.... ...iven that the nineteenth century was the century of Socialism, of Liberalism, and of Democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of Socialism, Liberalism and Democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority...a century of Fascism. For if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the State.... The foundation of Fascism is the conception of the State, its character, its duty, and its aim. Fascism conceives of the State as an absolute, in comparison with which all individuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived of in their relation to the State. The conception of the Liberal State is not that of a directing force, guiding the play and development, both material and spiritual, of a collective body, but merely a force limited to the function of recording results: on the other hand, the Fascist State is itself conscious and has itself a will and a personality -- thus it may be called the "ethic" State.... ...The Fascist State organizes the nation, but leaves a sufficient margin of liberty to the individual; the latter is deprived of all useless and possibly harmful freedom, but retains what is essential; the deciding power in this question cannot be the individual, but the State alone.... ...For Fascism, the growth of empire, that is to say the expansion of the nation, is an essential manifestation of vitality, and its opposite a sign of decadence. Peoples which are rising, or rising again after a period of decadence, are always imperialist; and renunciation is a sign of decay and of death. Fascism is the doctrine best adapted to represent the tendencies and the aspirations of a people, like the people of Italy, who are rising again after many centuries of abasement and foreign servitude. But empire demands discipline, the coordination of all forces and a deeply felt sense of duty and sacrifice: this fact explains many aspects of the practical working of the regime, the character of many forces in the State, and the necessarily severe measures which must be taken against those who would oppose this spontaneous and inevitable movement of Italy in the twentieth century, and would oppose it by recalling the outworn ideology of the nineteenth century - repudiated wheresoever there has been the courage to undertake great experiments of social and political transformation; for never before has the nation stood more in need of authority, of direction and order. If every age has its own characteristic doctrine, there are a thousand signs which point to Fascism as the characteristic doctrine of our time. For if a doctrine must be a living thing, this is proved by the fact that Fascism has created a living faith; and that this faith is very powerful in the minds of men is demonstrated by those who have suffered and died for it.

  6690. Anna Draper. And why was that possible for Trump, think about it, who has run the department of education for a solid fifty years, I read a mail written by a political strategist that explains why it has come to this quite well. "Dear John: Well, we all thought the big problem for our US democracy was Citizens United/Koch Brothers big money in politics. Silly us; turns out that money isn't all that important if you can conflate entertainment with the electoral process. Trump masters TV, TV so-called news picks up and repeats and repeats to death this opinionated blowhard and his hairbrained ideas, free-floating discontent attaches to a seeming strongman and we're off and running. JFK, Jr would be delighted by all this as his "George" magazine saw celebrity politics coming. The magazine struggled as it was ahead of its time but now looks prescient. George, of course, played the development pretty lightly, basically for charm and gossip, like People, but what we are dealing with now is dead serious. How does this get handled in the general? Secretary Clinton is not an entertainer, and not a celebrity in the Trump, Kardashian mold; what can she do to offset this? I'm certain the poll-directed insiders are sure things will default to policy as soon as the conventions are over, but I think not. And as I've mentioned, we've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging. Rubio's press conference yesterday AM was good and should be repeated in its entirety, not just in nibbles. I will attend the Clinton fundraiser here next week but as I can only afford the low level of participation may just get to wave without a "hello." I fear we are all now trying to navigate a set of forces that cannot be simply explained or fully understood, so it is and will reamin interesting! Sent with a handshake, Bill"

  6891. KC. "Yep, begging the question. See, the very premise of your hyperbole is fallacious, yet you wear it with pride, and lie. You dare cite philosophy when you beg the question openly? You speak of avoidance......" A complete failure to understand the use of poetic license. "Yep, I did, ONCE. See how being HONEST works. Let's see if you can do it, coward, or, in your own words." Congrats, It only took you 48 hours after 2 replies to reach a point in which you issue this stellar example of a classical passive agressive response. So please don''t invoke honesty as one of your virtues, it is obviously not true. """How many rounds of backpatting do you need buddy.""" Still not my words. Misquotation. "How patting yourself on the back going? Does your little mind trick help you pretend you're not a lying coward?" You have to prove that I lied, you haven't been able to do that, you thought you did, unfortunately you did so by allocating the words of somebody else to me. Which causes me to think that the passive aggressive response is somewhat disingenious. "Nope, you just thought you did..." No arguments presented to substantiate refutation, meaningless to elaborate a response to a question unanswered. "Of an un-cited "philosophy"? How delusional of you." Which I provided, that appears to have opened the floodgates of irrationality. I'm not to blame for the fact that you appear to have gaps in your knowledge which rendered you unable to recognize the source of the paraphrase. "Says the frantic triple poster immune to paragraphs." Critique of form over function, meaningless lawyering. "To philosophical shit I learn in school. Wow, how helpful. Ah, did you think citing philosophy made you "smart". Cute, Creationists do that....... " Anti intellectualism and a personal attack, I did not cite philosophy, I paraphrased it. As for the rest, nice pasta, you do realize I can read myself and have employed that to read the pasta pasted.

  7028. Info Illness. What ideals do you think Napoleon was spreading across Europe, Liberals back then hailed him as a Liberal Mars fighting against the forces of superstition and reaction. Only later did they change opinion about Napoleon, why do you think the US fought the war of 1812, it was to support Napoleonic France. The true cause of this butchery isn't guns, guns are merely the facilitator of death, the true cause is poverty and the loss of any sense of belonging to a greater whole that increases the public trust, the role of American media is simple, to foister division and turn every group, real or imagined into foes of one another so they cannot unite against those who rob you of life, prosperity and happiness. Undermining every facet of public trust and promoting fear is the name of the game and you are falling for it, the OP in this comment thread fired off the buzzwords of division without realizing that by doing so all that was accomplished was to cause more fear and hate. And who does that serve, tell me truthfully who does that serve? Get a grip you say, I saw American leftists braying like sheep celebrating the victory of Macron as though it was their victory, since when is the entitled servant of bankers an ally, Macron ran solely to prevent the victory of Melanchon, the media of France and the intelligence services harried and harassed the supporters of Melanchon at every turn and they propped up Le Pen as a pied piper candidate, much like what they did with Trump in the US really, the American left supports the EU, a anti democratic entity that enables the rich to steal the future of the human beings which it professes to protect, the EU plans to create an army that can be deployed in the same manner as the US military, the EU is silent as people try to free themselves from governments in member states that in some instances uses brute force to oppress human beings and deprive them of the most precious commodity any human can hold, their freedom. Yes let's discuss the failure of the American left as you spray slogans and buzzwords like malformed brain tumor ridden alzheimer patients. The American left, the slow child in school.

  7594. Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality. Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me. Mama, just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, Pulled my trigger, now he's dead. Mama, life had just begun, But now I've gone and thrown it all away. Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry, If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters. Too late, my time has come, Sends shivers down my spine, Body's aching all the time. Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go, Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth. Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows), I don't wanna die, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all. I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango? Thunderbolt and lightning, Very, very frightening me. (Galileo) Galileo. (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro Magnifico-o-o-o-o. I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me. He's just a poor boy from a poor family, Spare him his life from this monstrosity. Easy come, easy go, will you let me go? Bismillah! No, we will not let you go. (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let me go!) Will not let you go. (Let me go!) Never let you go (Never, never, never, never let me go) Oh oh oh oh No, no, no, no, no, no, no Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama mia, let me go.) Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me. So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye? So you think you can love me and leave me to die? Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby, Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here. (Ooooh, ooh yeah, ooh yeah) Nothing really matters, Anyone can see, Nothing really matters, Nothing really matters to me. Any way the wind blows.

  8097. Happy Merchant. The Parties to this Treaty reaffirm their faith in the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and their desire to live in peace with all peoples and all governments. They are determined to safeguard the freedom, common heritage and civilisation of their peoples, founded on the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. They seek to promote stability and well-being in the North Atlantic area. They are resolved to unite their efforts for collective defence and for the preservation of peace and security. They therefore agree to this North Atlantic Treaty : Article 1 The Parties undertake, as set forth in the Charter of the United Nations, to settle any international dispute in which they may be involved by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security and justice are not endangered, and to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations. Article 2 The Parties will contribute toward the further development of peaceful and friendly international relations by strengthening their free institutions, by bringing about a better understanding of the principles upon which these institutions are founded, and by promoting conditions of stability and well-being. They will seek to eliminate conflict in their international economic policies and will encourage economic collaboration between any or all of them. Article 3 In order more effectively to achieve the objectives of this Treaty, the Parties, separately and jointly, by means of continuous and effective self-help and mutual aid, will maintain and develop their individual and collective capacity to resist armed attack. Article 4 The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened. Article 5 The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area. Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security . Article 6 1 For the purpose of Article 5, an armed attack on one or more of the Parties is deemed to include an armed attack: on the territory of any of the Parties in Europe or North America, on the Algerian Departments of France 2, on the territory of or on the Islands under the jurisdiction of any of the Parties in the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer; on the forces, vessels, or aircraft of any of the Parties, when in or over these territories or any other area in Europe in which occupation forces of any of the Parties were stationed on the date when the Treaty entered into force or the Mediterranean Sea or the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer. Article 7 This Treaty does not affect, and shall not be interpreted as affecting in any way the rights and obligations under the Charter of the Parties which are members of the United Nations, or the primary responsibility of the Security Council for the maintenance of international peace and security. Article 8 Each Party declares that none of the international engagements now in force between it and any other of the Parties or any third State is in conflict with the provisions of this Treaty, and undertakes not to enter into any international engagement in conflict with this Treaty. Article 9 The Parties hereby establish a Council, on which each of them shall be represented, to consider matters concerning the implementation of this Treaty. The Council shall be so organised as to be able to meet promptly at any time. The Council shall set up such subsidiary bodies as may be necessary; in particular it shall establish immediately a defence committee which shall recommend measures for the implementation of Articles 3 and 5. Article 10 The Parties may, by unanimous agreement, invite any other European State in a position to further the principles of this Treaty and to contribute to the security of the North Atlantic area to accede to this Treaty. Any State so invited may become a Party to the Treaty by depositing its instrument of accession with the Government of the United States of America. The Government of the United States of America will inform each of the Parties of the deposit of each such instrument of accession. Article 11 This Treaty shall be ratified and its provisions carried out by the Parties in accordance with their respective constitutional processes. The instruments of ratification shall be deposited as soon as possible with the Government of the United States of America, which will notify all the other signatories of each deposit. The Treaty shall enter into force between the States which have ratified it as soon as the ratifications of the majority of the signatories, including the ratifications of Belgium, Canada, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States, have been deposited and shall come into effect with respect to other States on the date of the deposit of their ratifications. (3) Article 12 After the Treaty has been in force for ten years, or at any time thereafter, the Parties shall, if any of them so requests, consult together for the purpose of reviewing the Treaty, having regard for the factors then affecting peace and security in the North Atlantic area, including the development of universal as well as regional arrangements under the Charter of the United Nations for the maintenance of international peace and security. Article 13 After the Treaty has been in force for twenty years, any Party may cease to be a Party one year after its notice of denunciation has been given to the Government of the United States of America, which will inform the Governments of the other Parties of the deposit of each notice of denunciation. Article 14 This Treaty, of which the English and French texts are equally authentic, shall be deposited in the archives of the Government of the United States of America. Duly certified copies will be transmitted by that Government to the Governments of other signatories. The definition of the territories to which Article 5 applies was revised by Article 2 of the Protocol to the North Atlantic Treaty on the accession of Greece and Turkey signed on 22 October 1951. On January 16, 1963, the North Atlantic Council noted that insofar as the former Algerian Departments of France were concerned, the relevant clauses of this Treaty had become inapplicable as from July 3, 1962. The Treaty came into force on 24 August 1949, after the deposition of the ratifications of all signatory states.

  8152. Fascism according to Mussolini and Gentile, the founders of Fascism. Horrible ideology, but numbskull Sunsara has no idea what it is. Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. It thus repudiates the doctrine of Pacifism -- born of a renunciation of the struggle and an act of cowardice in the face of sacrifice. War alone brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have courage to meet it. All other trials are substitutes, which never really put men into the position where they have to make the great decision -- the alternative of life or death.... ...The Fascist accepts life and loves it, knowing nothing of and despising suicide: he rather conceives of life as duty and struggle and conquest, but above all for others -- those who are at hand and those who are far distant, contemporaries, and those who will come after... ...Fascism [is] the complete opposite of…Marxian Socialism, the materialist conception of history of human civilization can be explained simply through the conflict of interests among the various social groups and by the change and development in the means and instruments of production.... Fascism, now and always, believes in holiness and in heroism; that is to say, in actions influenced by no economic motive, direct or indirect. And if the economic conception of history be denied, according to which theory men are no more than puppets, carried to and fro by the waves of chance, while the real directing forces are quite out of their control, it follows that the existence of an unchangeable and unchanging class-war is also denied - the natural progeny of the economic conception of history. And above all Fascism denies that class-war can be the preponderant force in the transformation of society.... After Socialism, Fascism combats the whole complex system of democratic ideology, and repudiates it, whether in its theoretical premises or in its practical application. Fascism denies that the majority, by the simple fact that it is a majority, can direct human society; it denies that numbers alone can govern by means of a periodical consultation, and it affirms the immutable, beneficial, and fruitful inequality of mankind, which can never be permanently leveled through the mere operation of a mechanical process such as universal suffrage.... ...Fascism denies, in democracy, the absur[d] conventional untruth of political equality dressed out in the garb of collective irresponsibility, and the myth of "happiness" and indefinite progress.... ...iven that the nineteenth century was the century of Socialism, of Liberalism, and of Democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of Socialism, Liberalism and Democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority...a century of Fascism. For if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the State.... The foundation of Fascism is the conception of the State, its character, its duty, and its aim. Fascism conceives of the State as an absolute, in comparison with which all individuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived of in their relation to the State. The conception of the Liberal State is not that of a directing force, guiding the play and development, both material and spiritual, of a collective body, but merely a force limited to the function of recording results: on the other hand, the Fascist State is itself conscious and has itself a will and a personality -- thus it may be called the "ethic" State.... ...The Fascist State organizes the nation, but leaves a sufficient margin of liberty to the individual; the latter is deprived of all useless and possibly harmful freedom, but retains what is essential; the deciding power in this question cannot be the individual, but the State alone.... ...For Fascism, the growth of empire, that is to say the expansion of the nation, is an essential manifestation of vitality, and its opposite a sign of decadence. Peoples which are rising, or rising again after a period of decadence, are always imperialist; and renunciation is a sign of decay and of death. Fascism is the doctrine best adapted to represent the tendencies and the aspirations of a people, like the people of Italy, who are rising again after many centuries of abasement and foreign servitude. But empire demands discipline, the coordination of all forces and a deeply felt sense of duty and sacrifice: this fact explains many aspects of the practical working of the regime, the character of many forces in the State, and the necessarily severe measures which must be taken against those who would oppose this spontaneous and inevitable movement of Italy in the twentieth century, and would oppose it by recalling the outworn ideology of the nineteenth century - repudiated wheresoever there has been the courage to undertake great experiments of social and political transformation; for never before has the nation stood more in need of authority, of direction and order. If every age has its own characteristic doctrine, there are a thousand signs which point to Fascism as the characteristic doctrine of our time. For if a doctrine must be a living thing, this is proved by the fact that Fascism has created a living faith; and that this faith is very powerful in the minds of men is demonstrated by those who have suffered and died for it.

  8256. YTPartyTonight. Pasted from NYT article. "To understand how it works, you must first understand the vast technological engine that powered the campaign but remained largely out of view of the public and the press. Messina, the campaign manager, often boasted about how the Obama 2012 effort would be “the most data-driven campaign ever.” But what that truly meant — the extent to which the campaign used the newest tech tools to look into people’s lives and the sheer amount of personal data its vast servers were crunching — remained largely shrouded. The secrecy around the operation was partly because the president’s strategists wanted to maintain their competitive edge. But it was also no doubt because they worried that practices like “data mining” and “analytics” could make voters uncomfortable. Using data wasn’t new for the Obama strategists. The 2008 campaign developed the most sophisticated system to date to identify tens of millions of voters and place them into useful categories: those most likely to vote Republican, who would be ignored; those supporting Obama — and how likely they were to vote. That system — based on a complicated scoring method that relied on the processing of reams of data — was first devised by an outside consultant, Ken Strasma. But it was partly managed inside the campaign by an economics forecaster, Dan Wagner, who, at 24, helped perfect it for the campaign’s use. Wagner, who was recruited by A.M.G. but decided to start his own venture instead, seems to exist in two realms. One is digital, where he operates like a Dungeons and Dragons dungeon master, trying to shape the rules to the reality he is creating (“I was a Level 14 wizard or something,” he jokes of the fantasy role-playing game). The other is corporeal, where he is self-deprecating about things like his romantic life. (“Hey, I do ‘Big Data,’ ” he says.) His work on the 2008 campaign has been portrayed in a book, “The Victory Lab,” by Sasha Issenberg. “Here’s where I am in the ‘Victory Lab’ — blah, blah, blah,” he said dryly while turning to his chapter in the copy I was carrying when we met for breakfast at the Ace Hotel in Manhattan one day in May. Wagner dismisses the notion of “romantic war rooms” operating on political gut instinct as outdated and misguided. His is a hard-data system that rejects anything that is not definitively quantifiable. In the Bush era, strategists boasted about how they could predict voter behavior based upon car and sport preferences, a well-publicized bit of political magic that captured the imaginations of politicians and journalists alike. Wagner’s approach, part of a broader move in politics, cut all of that out; why engage in such divination when you have the time and money to just call voters and ask them about their leanings directly? “We’re trying to predict political preference; we’re not trying to predict whether you buy a car,” Wagner says dismissively."

  8257. YTPartyTonight. Bragging about circumventing privacy, from the same NYT article. "Responsibility for building the optimizer was handed off to Wagner. “We took over in January and then had to build it from scratch, completely from scratch,” he said. Fortunately, there happened to be a rare expert in set-top-box data, named Carol Davidsen, working in the cave. Davidsen looks younger than her 37 years — “no kids,” she says — and she speaks in a rapid, elliptical manner, as if her thoughts are running too fast for her sentences to keep pace. Before joining the campaign, she had a successful career as a forward-thinking data engineer. But she had become fed up with corporate life by the time she received an unsolicited e-mail from Wagner’s analytics department, which recruited employees by searching the 2008 online-donor list for those who listed themselves as programmers. “I’m a huge supporter of Barack Obama,” she said a few weeks ago at Think Coffee in Greenwich Village. “But I also was kind of at a time in my life where I needed to be part of a perfect team, and I knew that was possible in a world where people weren’t worried about getting a raise or people weren’t worried about getting a promotion.” Her previous employer, Navic Networks, was a very early pioneer in the field of set-top-box data collection. And she was one of the early programmers to figure out how to make a television, designed as a one-way path for sending programming into American homes, relay information back about what exactly a viewer was watching. Davidsen determined that Rentrak could roughly do what Grisolano wanted it to do: produce data that could be checked against Wagner’s list of most-persuadable voters to find matches. Rentrak had access to the set-top boxes in the homes of thousands of the targeted voters in every competitive market of every swing state. (For instance, Rentrak had 100,000 people in its Denver sample, some 20,000 of whom were on the Obama list; Nielsen had a total of 600 people in Denver.) But there was the potentially politically explosive matter of privacy. Unlike Facebook, where users were at least giving the campaign explicit permission to collect personal data even if they had not read the fine print, television watchers were making no such agreement. To address this, the campaign and Rentrak hired a third party to “anonymize” the data so that they would only know that the information was coming from a set-top box of somebody on the persuadable list; identifying information would be stripped away. The optimizer software would then comb advertising price and viewership data to figure out the top-rated time slots among those on the Obama persuadable list — which could vary from market to market — and then rank them based on which produced the highest concentration of the Obama swing voters at the best rates. The results were striking. The campaign determined that two of the top shows to buy were 1 a.m. repeats of “The Insider” and afternoon episodes of “Judge Joe Brown” — shows that were far cheaper than the evening news or anything being shown on the networks in prime time. “When you’re talking about ‘The Insider,’ that might be shift workers in a state like Ohio, folks who are working class and aren’t getting home until midnight,” said Daniel Jester, the head GMMB buyer, who was aggressively locking in low rates early. “The person watching ‘Judge Joe Brown’ in the afternoon also may be the same viewer watching ‘The Insider’ at 1 a.m.”"

  8316. AmericanNohbuddy ™. Yes, yes, yes, resorting to base insults, no they wouldn't allow any statues according to their scripture, nor any paintings of any kind. Your hypocrisy is mind blowing. One is wrong and the other is right, pro-tip, perhaps things aren't so binary. ANAHEIM A parade of diversity that is Islam in Southern California was on full display at Angel Stadium on Sunday for the annual Eid prayer celebration. Signaling the end of Ramadan, a period of fasting and reflection, Eid-a-fitr is a festive, worldwide celebration in Islam. In Orange County, a crowd of about 20,000 filled the stadium’s field and spilled into the stands for Southern California’s largest Eid prayer service. Several regular attendees said this year’s gathering was the biggest crowd they had seen. The field was filled with a symphony of languages and cultures from the Middle East, Asia, Africa and the United States. Attendees were of all ages. The garb and style covered a swath of colors and East-meets-West combinations, such as the man wearing neon colored sunglasses and tennis shoes with his kufti hat. There were young men in three-piece suits with women with modern hairdos and dresses, and older men with beards and traditional thobe and abaya garments and women with hijabs and burkas. What they shared was a unity of spirit. “You see people of all races and many cultures her, but we’re all Americans,” said Omar Siddiqui, an attorney running for Congress. “Most of us were born here.” Dr. Munaf Kadri was born in India but raised and educated in Orange County and went to medical school at UC Irvine. He was part of a group of medical students who helped create the University Muslim Medical Association, which created two community clinics in South Los Angeles with a third on the way that seeing under-served residents. “We’re a generation that grew up here,” said Kadri, of Yorba Linda, who is on the UMMA Community Clinic board, and said the clinic provides services with Islamic ideals. “We try to treat everyone as we would like to be treated.” Shabbir Mansuri of Fountain Valley is an educator and founding director of the Institute on Religion & Civic Values. He said Muslims as a large minority in the United States are beneficiaries of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965 and as such relative newcomers to the American societal fabric. That can account in part for some of the difficulties Muslims have had assimilating. But Mansuri added that his fellow Muslims should be grateful because “You have a place at the table.” Unlike last year, when protesters tried to disrupt attendees on the outskirts of the event, held outdoors in the stadium parking lot, this year’s event went off without a hitch. Anyone seeking entry had to have a ticket and all passed through metal detectors. Issa Edah-Tally, the event director, admitted that security was a concern, particularly after reports started coming in about a car crashing into celebrants of an Eid in England, injuring six. Although officials did not believe that was terror-related, it comes only a week after a van injured 10 people when it rammed into worshipers in London, an incident believed to be terror-related. “Our faith is under attack,” Edah-Tally said. “We have no idea where such hideous attacks come from, but we condemn them.” Ismail Sameer, 23, from Garden Grove, said he does not respond when he hears anti-Islamic rhetoric. “I just don’t listen,” he said. “I don’t give them the time.” Given the political and media climate, some attendees and families were hesitant to talk with reporters, although one offered room on his family prayer mat for a reporter to share. After prayers, Muzammil Siddiqui of the Islamic Society of Orange County spoke about the values and principles of his faith. “We are Muslims and our actions must be Islamic,” he said. “And evil cannot be Islamic.” In many cases, Muzammil Siddique said, the faith has been hijacked, literally and figuratively. “Some use Islamic slogans, they are not Islam,” he said. “No one should be deceived by them.” The Eid is sponsored by three Orange County mosques: the Islamic Society of Orange County in Garden Grove, the Islamic Institute of Orange County in Anaheim and the Islamic Center of Irvine. The combining of the large congregations makes for a big party every year. Minzah Malik of Huntington Beach attended with her mother, husband and two children. As she waved to passersby, she said, aside from the prayer service, which is segregated by gender, “It’s a very united event.” As for the challenges of being Muslim in the United States she said, “We have to be a little more vigilant, but life goes on.”

  8433. Leah Dijon. rape 1) n. the crime of sexual intercourse (with actual penetration of a woman's vagina with the man's penis) without consent and accomplished through force, threat of violence or intimidation (such as a threat to harm a woman's child, husband or boyfriend). What constitutes lack of consent usually includes saying "no" or being too drunk or drug-influenced for the woman to be able to either resist or consent, but a recent Pennsylvania case ruled that a woman must do more than say "no" on the bizarre theory that "no" does not always mean "don't," but a flirtatious come-on. "Date rape," involves rape by an acquaintance who refuses to stop when told to. Defense attorneys often argue that there had to be physical resistance, but the modern view is that fear of harm and the relative strengths of the man and the woman are obvious deterrents to a woman fighting back. Any sexual intercourse with a child is rape and in most states sexual relations even with consent involving a girl 14 to 18 (with some variation on ages in a few states) is "statutory rape," on the basis that the female is unable to give consent. 2) v. to have sexual intercourse with a female without her consent through force, violence, threat or intimidation, or with a girl under age. Technically, a woman can be charged with rape by assisting a man in the rape of another woman. Dissatisfied with the typical prosecution of rape cases (in which the defense humiliates the accuser, and prosecutors are unable or unwilling to protect the woman from such tactics), women have been suing for civil damages for the physical and emotional damage caused by the rape, although too often the perpetrator has no funds. Protection services for rape victims have been developed by both public and private agencies. On the other side of the coin, there is the concern of law enforcement and prosecutors that women whose advances have been rejected by a man, or who have been caught in the act of consensual sexual intercourse may falsely cry "rape."

  8457. K Ku. Gotta go, I'll leave you with this. Pride, that's the cause of a lot of grief. So they entreated their dear son with tears. But all their earnest pleas could not change Hector’s mind, and he waited on great Achilles’ advance. Like a snake in the hills, full of venom due to the toxic herbs it eats, that glares balefully and writhes inside its hole, waiting as some man approaches, so Hector held his ground, filled with latent power, his bright shield resting on a jutting outwork. But his proud thoughts were troubled: ‘Alas, if I retreat through the gate, to the safety of the wall, Polydamas will not be slow to reproach me, since he advised me to withdraw our forces to the city, on that fatal night when Achilles re-appeared. I refused, though it may have been better! Now, in my folly, having brought us to the brink of ruin, I’d be ashamed to hear some insignificant Trojan, or his long-robed wife, say: ‘Hector has brought ruin on the army, trusting too much in his own right arm.’ If that’s what they’ll say, then I’d be better by far to meet Achilles face to face and kill him before returning to the city, or die gloriously beneath its walls. Of course, I could ditch the bossed shield and heavy helmet, lean my spear on the wall, and go and promise peerless Achilles to return Helen and her treasure to the Atreidae, all that Paris brought in the hollow ships to Troy, to begin this strife. I could say too that we’ll then divide all the remaining treasure in the city, and then induce the Elders to state on oath that they’ll conceal no part of that treasure, but grant half of all the lovely city holds. But what’s the point of such thoughts? I’ll not approach him like a suppliant only to have him show neither mercy nor respect, but kill me out of hand, stripped of my armour and defenceless as a woman. This is no lover’s tryst of lad and lass, by oak or rock! Lad and lass, indeed! Better to meet in bloody combat, now, and see to whom Zeus grants the glory!

And that it should colour in the type of deal being negotiated." No it should not, the rules were agreed on beforehand, the result is known, you and others like you didn't like the result and are inventing excuses circumvent democracy, that is undemocratic and makes you an enemy of democracy. "Can you show me on the ballot paper where it gave the general public the option to leave or stay in the single market? Or the customs union? As I've explained already, Brexit is so complicated and people voted for so many different reasons. You had right wing free traders and left wing protectionists both voting for Brexit. Do you honestly think they cast their ballot with the same post Brexit vision? Of course not." Leave or remain, yes or no, everybody was aware of what that meant, another attempt to delegimitize the plebiscite, undemocratic and authoritarian. "Britain will leave the EU as it should. Unless there's a second referendum, which I think people are entitled to after seeing the deal available." No, article 50 has been triggered, the decision has been made and the executive and the legislature must implement it. To not do so would be undemocratic and authortarian. "I think a United Ireland joining the Commonwealth is a no brainer along with a broad constitutional settlement. Ireland having a monarch is simply a non starter though." I think that's up to the people of Northern Ireland to decide, three options on the ballot, free and fair, those who wish to remain a part of the EU but who doesn't desire to be a part of the Republic can vote for an independent Northern Ireland.

  8777. The original lyrics are far better and speak of the forgotten and the powerless, the people ignored by the wealthy freaks on parade in London town. Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality. Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me. Mama, just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, Pulled my trigger, now he's dead. Mama, life had just begun, But now I've gone and thrown it all away. Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry, If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters. Too late, my time has come, Sends shivers down my spine, Body's aching all the time. Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go, Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth. Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows), I don't wanna die, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all. I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango? Thunderbolt and lightning, Very, very frightening me. (Galileo) Galileo. (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro Magnifico-o-o-o-o. I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me. He's just a poor boy from a poor family, Spare him his life from this monstrosity. Easy come, easy go, will you let me go? Bismillah! No, we will not let you go. (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let me go!) Will not let you go. (Let me go!) Never let you go (Never, never, never, never let me go) Oh oh oh oh No, no, no, no, no, no, no Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama mia, let me go.) Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me. So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye? So you think you can love me and leave me to die? Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby, Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here. (Ooooh, ooh yeah, ooh yeah) Nothing really matters, Anyone can see, Nothing really matters, Nothing really matters to me. Any way the wind blows.

  8963.  @katiek.8808  Nationalism and pride are not compatible, you can love your nation because it is your home, you can have pride in your individual contribution to make that home better for all, a nation state is many things, a republic, a constitutional monarchy or a democracy is one form of nation state in which the subjects or citizens are members of a clearly defined franchise. a dictatorship also has a franchise, it can be a franchise of one person or of a small select group and these are also nation states. Who belongs to the franchise are the ones who have power, but the ideologies or ideas for how to govern nation states flow from an axis, for some the idea of the group supercedes the idea of the individual, this is not a left or right axiom, it is more intricate, an anarchist, a true anarchist desires no centralised government, only local government ad hoc created by individuals for specific tasks. A communist desires the state to be synonymous to a vague concept of "the people" and therefore want to imbue it with all power. A nationalist conservative considers the franchise to deserving of certain rights and privileges in return for service to the nation state in order to maintain social cohesion. A liberal considers the nation state and the franchise to be a necessary tool of organising a defined franchise in which the right and privileges are afforded to all who simply dwell within it's borders. A fascist thinks that the nation state should serve the interests of the majority ethnos and that only those who fall within that ethnos is deserving of being afforded "protection" from the corporations who have interests within the nation state. It is not simply a matter of left and right, a social democrat and a nativist conservative both forinstance believe that the nation state is the best tool to bring about prosperity for the franchise, where they differ is on what constitutes prosperity and how it is to be accomplished, they both value social cohesion, they both believe that miltary force can only be used to defend the state from a clear outside threat from another state, they share this last sentiment with a libertarian or an anarchist. It is complex and messy.

  9078. Julia Winkler. I recall that man and not two centuries have passed since I saw him, he went neither by horse nor by carriage: purely on foot he outstripped distances, and carried no sword or armour, only nets on his shoulder, axe or hammer or spade, never fighting the rest of his species: his exploits were with water and earth, with wheat so that it turned into bread, with giant trees to render them wood, with walls to open up doors, with sand to construct the walls, and with ocean for it to bear. I knew him and he is still not cancelled in me. The carriages fell to pieces, war destroyed doors and walls, the city was a handful of ashes, all the clothes turned to dust, and he remains to me, he survives in the sand, when everything before seemed imperishable but him. In the going and coming of families at times he was my father or kinsman or perhaps it was scarcely him or not the one who did not return to his house because water or earth swallowed him up or a tree or an engine killed him, or he was the saddened carpenter who went behind the coffin, without tears, someone in the end who had no name, except those that metal or timber have, and on whom others gazed from on high without seeing the ant for the anthill and so that when his feet did not stir, because the poor exhausted one had died, they never saw what they had not seen: already there were other feet where he'd been. The other feet were still his, and the other hands, the man remained: when it seemed that now he was done for he was the same once more, there he was digging again at the earth, cutting cloth, minus a shirt, there he was and was not, like before, he had gone down and was once more, and since he never owned graveyards, or tombs, nor was his name carved on the stone he sweated to quarry, no one knew he had come and no one knew when he died, so that only when the poor man could he returned to life once more, without it being noted. He was the man, no doubt of it, without heritage, without cattle, without a flag, and he was not distinguished from others, the others who were him, from the heights he was grey like the subsoil, tanned like the leather, he was yellow reaping the wheat, he was black down in the mine, he was the colour of stone on the fortress, in the fishing boat the colour of tuna, and the colour of horses in the meadow: how could anyone distinguish him if he was inseparable, elemental, earth, coal or sea vested in man? Where he lived whatever a man touched grew: the hostile stones, quarried by his hands, took on order and one by one formed the right clarity of a building, he made bread with his hands, moved the engines, the distances peopled themselves with towns, other men grew, bees arrived, and by man's creating and breeding spring walked the market squares between bakeries and doves. The maker of loaves was forgotten, he who quarried and journeyed, beating down and opening furrows, transporting sand, when everything existed he no longer existed, he gave his existence, that's all. He went elsewhere to labour, and at last he was dead, rolling like a stone in the river: death carried him downstream. I, who knew him, saw him descend till he was no longer except what he left: roads he could scarcely know, houses he never ever would live in. I turn to see him, and I await him I see him in his grave and resurrected. I distinguish him among all who are his equals and it seems to me it cannot be, that like this we go nowhere, that to survive like this holds no glory. I believe that this man must be enthroned, rightly shod and crowned. I believe that those who made such things must be the masters of all these things. And that those who made bread should eat! And those in the mines must have light! Enough now of grey men enslaved! Enough of the pale 'missing ones'! Not another man passes except as a king. Not a single woman without her crown. Golden gauntlets for every hand. Fruits of the sun for all the unknowns! I knew that man and when I could, when he still had eyes in his head, when he still had a voice in his mouth I searched for him among tombs, and I said grasping his arm that was not yet dust: 'All will be gone, you will live on, You ignite life. You made what is yours.' So let no one trouble themselves when I seem to be alone and am not alone, I am with no one and speak for them all: Some listen to me, without knowing, but those I sing, those who do know go on being born, and will fill up the Earth.

  9093. Rick Deckard. In order, various expressions of a desire for vengeance. "When you hear these fascist/colonizing loving evil jerks scream, see why it is important to fight to remove things like Columbus day? They know false perception is all they got left to hide their hate under! More this stuff fades so will they, like they've been doing for decades, their outnumbered in their death throes and they sense it." The other dehumanized and described as evil, every man, woman and child and death throes are coming. Who will do the killing? "Ask "no one" that question its his bringing religion to this, if your offended by my world view. Trust me your views offended me and every one like me for centuries first!" Apparently she's immortal. Btw It isn't my Religion either, but that doesn't matter. I offended by mentioning Christianity and so now I am included in the group that murdered her ancestors and what is the punishment for murder. "We aim to undo what as you call it what the angry mob did, as has been already explained and you have no answer for cause there isn't one. Were not wrong you are!" We are right and you are wrong clearly stated, who is the we in this equation? And why do I have to pay for the actions of a dead man? "Like they may as well have told millions for centuries to eat shit and die, now we return the favor your council and all its members can eat shit and die for all we care. They got no power now, cause if they did we know what they would be doing, usual suspects to the last." A distinct desire to kill Catholics who lives today to make them pay for the crimes of the ancestors, I wonder if she's aware that Pope Francis that seems like a decent human being with no malice at all. And who's actually trying to reconcile different faiths and people.

  9096. Julia Winkler. Bartolomé de las Casas c. 1484– 18 July 1566) was a 16th-century Spanish historian, social reformer and Dominican friar. The spiritual tradition of Dominic's Order is punctuated not only by charity, study and preaching, but also by instances of mystical union. The Dominican emphasis on learning and on charity distinguishes it from other monastic and mendicant orders. As the order first developed on the European continent, learning continued to be emphasized by these friars and their sisters in Christ. These religious also struggled for a deeply personal, intimate relationship with God. Also in 1536, before venturing into Tuzulutlan, Las Casas went to Oaxaca, Mexico, to participate in a series of discussions and debates among the bishops of the Dominican and Franciscan orders. The two orders had very different approaches to the conversion of the Indians. The Franciscans used a method of mass conversion, sometimes baptizing many thousands of Indians in a day. This method was championed by prominent Franciscans such as Toribio de Benavente, known as "Motolinia", and Las Casas made many enemies among the Franciscans for arguing that conversions made without adequate understanding were invalid. Las Casas wrote a treatise called "De unico vocationis modo" (On the Only Way of Conversion) based on the missionary principles he had used in Guatemala. Motolinia would later be a fierce critic of Las Casas, accusing him of being all talk and no action when it came to converting the Indians. As a direct result of the debates between the Dominicans and Franciscans and spurred on by Las Casas's treatise, Pope Paul III promulgated the Bull "Sublimis Deus," which stated that the Indians were rational beings and should be brought peacefully to the faith as such. Las Casas returned to Guatemala in 1537 wanting to employ his new method of conversion based on two principles: 1) to preach the Gospel to all men and treat them as equals, and 2) to assert that conversion must be voluntary and based on knowledge and understanding of the Faith. It was important for Las Casas that this method be tested without meddling from secular colonists, so he chose a territory in the heart of Guatemala where there were no previous colonies and where the natives were considered fierce and war-like. Because of the fact that the land had not been possible to conquer by military means, the governor of Guatemala, Alonso de Maldonado, agreed to sign a contract promising that if the venture was successful he would not establish any new encomiendas in the area. Las Casas's group of friars established a Dominican presence in Rabinal, Sacapulas and Cobán. Through the efforts of Las Casas's missionaries the so-called "Land of War" came to be called "Verapaz", "True Peace". Las Casas's strategy was to teach Christian songs to merchant Indian Christians who then ventured into the area. In this way he was successful in converting several native chiefs, among them those of Atitlán and Chichicastenango, and in building several churches in the territory named Alta Verapaz. These congregated a group of Christian Indians in the location of what is now the town of Rabinal. In 1538 Las Casas was recalled from his mission by Bishop Marroquín who wanted him to go to Mexico and then on to Spain in order to seek more Dominicans to assist in the mission. Las Casas left Guatemala for Mexico, where he stayed for more than a year before setting out for Spain in 1540. "Vampires blood suckers are an will be blood suckers or Christian as the case may be, always was so still is only faces change."

In the going and coming of families at times he was my father or kinsman or perhaps it was scarcely him or not the one who did not return to his house because water or earth swallowed him up or a tree or an engine killed him, or he was the saddened carpenter who went behind the coffin, without tears, someone in the end who had no name, except those that metal or timber have, and on whom others gazed from on high without seeing the ant for the anthill and so that when his feet did not stir, because the poor exhausted one had died, they never saw what they had not seen: already there were other feet where he'd been. The other feet were still his, and the other hands, the man remained: when it seemed that now he was done for he was the same once more, there he was digging again at the earth, cutting cloth, minus a shirt, there he was and was not, like before, he had gone down and was once more, and since he never owned graveyards, or tombs, nor was his name carved on the stone he sweated to quarry, no one knew he had come and no one knew when he died, so that only when the poor man could he returned to life once more, without it being noted. He was the man, no doubt of it, without heritage, without cattle, without a flag, and he was not distinguished from others, the others who were him, from the heights he was grey like the subsoil, tanned like the leather, he was yellow reaping the wheat, he was black down in the mine, he was the colour of stone on the fortress, in the fishing boat the colour of tuna, and the colour of horses in the meadow: how could anyone distinguish him if he was inseparable, elemental, earth, coal or sea vested in man? Where he lived whatever a man touched grew: the hostile stones, quarried by his hands, took on order and one by one formed the right clarity of a building, he made bread with his hands, moved the engines, the distances peopled themselves with towns, other men grew, bees arrived, and by man's creating and breeding spring walked the market squares between bakeries and doves. The maker of loaves was forgotten, he who quarried and journeyed, beating down and opening furrows, transporting sand, when everything existed he no longer existed, he gave his existence, that's all. He went elsewhere to labour, and at last he was dead, rolling like a stone in the river: death carried him downstream. I, who knew him, saw him descend till he was no longer except what he left: roads he could scarcely know, houses he never ever would live in. I turn to see him, and I await him I see him in his grave and resurrected. I distinguish him among all who are his equals and it seems to me it cannot be, that like this we go nowhere, that to survive like this holds no glory. I believe that this man must be enthroned, rightly shod and crowned. I believe that those who made such things must be the masters of all these things. And that those who made bread should eat! And those in the mines must have light! Enough now of grey men enslaved! Enough of the pale 'missing ones'! Not another man passes except as a king. Not a single woman without her crown. Golden gauntlets for every hand. Fruits of the sun for all the unknowns! I knew that man and when I could, when he still had eyes in his head, when he still had a voice in his mouth I searched for him among tombs, and I said grasping his arm that was not yet dust: 'All will be gone, you will live on, You ignite life. You made what is yours.' So let no one trouble themselves when I seem to be alone and am not alone, I am with no one and speak for them all: Some listen to me, without knowing, but those I sing, those who do know go on being born, and will fill up the Earth.

  9125. Michael P. Amazing how people think quantity is a quality when applied to the amount of words jammed into a sentence consisting of repetitive hot air, for hot air exercise example, see below. "Sorry, my friend, but when someone posts a comment saying that his grandfather got paid by our government to fight nazis and that he did it well because it was the right thing to do, and you respond by saying that people who march along side of communists are up to no good, that has jack shit to do with you trying to make people see nuance....(Which applies to both groups) And if your idea of "trying to make people see nuance" starts off with a blanket statement about a political label not being discussed prior, and without you bothering to explain what the label you're injecting means, or how it relates to the comment you're replying to, and then ends up with you trying to talk about supply-and-demand in vague soundbites, and you never tied any of what you said into a nuanced point related to the substance of the original comment you were first posting a reply to, then I'm sorry but you really suck at "making people see nuance"...(I appear to succeeded in making you think, that's a success) Perhaps you should focus on one topic at a time...You breezed past a bunch of broad complicated issues, without applying much nuance to any of them...(most issues are quite simple, people are just afraid of simplicity, if things are simple then the solutions are simple and that would immediately mean that a lot of the issues people have based entire careers upon would vanish, think of the myriad of unemployed sociologists and pundits this would cause). Presenting as many articulate thesis statements as you can about as many different topics and issues that you can get away with, is not the same thing as being nuanced or trying to make people see nuance...Nuance isn't measured by how many topics you can present theses on....Its about how much substance and detail you can go in to about a specific thesis or issue....Being a contrarian doesn't make you nuanced either..(This wordy response could be shortened to stop asking questions and give me answers I agree with). And your results of your attempt to make people see any nuance here, have pretty much failed so far...So will you try to argue about why you think they have, or is it more nuanced to figure out if anybody you are trying to get through to here has come to look at anything differently because of your attempts to make people see nuance?"(There is a difference between nuance and consensus, you assume first is the latter)

  9152. does it matter. Not just the United States, the defacto executives of Great Britain, Australia and Canada are elected using systems that have very similar flaws, the majority of the population of these nations didn't vote for the present executive by proxy(first past the post systems). The commision acts as the legislature(the commission writes and executes legislation, parliament can only amend it, this is decidedly undemocratic) and the executive, at least the US has a clear separation of powers, congress legislates and the executive enacts legislation. The far right and the left opposes it!!! in which nations, you have to be a bit more specific, the far right(PP, likes Franco alot, that kinda makes them far right) in Spain doesn't oppose it, they are very much pro EU and desires a federated states of Europe(their reason for wanting a federated Europe is motivated by a desire to prevent Spain being split up into separate nations states). An unelected executive is still not accountable to franchise, commisioners despite being political appointees are very rarely chosen for their ability to sway the public by suggesting policy, they are chosen to enact policy which if the franchise were made aware of them would be summarily rejected in most instances. Again, not just the United States, but at least to become the executive you are required to campaign and expose themselves to a vote in which the franchise has influence, the commision isn't subject to same process. Whatever you say rich boy.
