Wandering the internet and ...found in drafts...

Was going to post a few things I found of interest while just catching up on old email.  And then noticed I had some interesting material stuck in draft I never published, so throwing them in near the end.... Just so my detractors will have something to nitpick me over. Yukkety Yuk.

The Korean War - US bombed country into oblivion..
First read this article, much of it confirmed in the sometimes reliable Wikipedia, and then found this video.


Smart Phones should have a wrist strap attachment point! Us oldsters tend to drop them - especially when we are skiing.   Meanwhile there's MyBunjee.com.

Pretty good article on hypocrisy of leaders who denounce killings at Charlie Hebdo offices. I do see that Israel allows Jewish satirists to mock Judaism. Funnier than some of Charlie's gross cartoons which even grossed out this critic of Patriarchal Religions.



 
I missed this end of prohibition (1933) party - and now marijuana practically legal in DC!  Wow, you'll hear all about it when I finally smoke some!

From 2013! Time flies amid various contretemps, and this individual has had many thoughts about world events. But what is actually new, surprising, unique and even hopeful and exciting among any of them? A little list...

* Animals also getting fatter Does fat encase pollutants in our bodies to protect us, as I read somewhere once; and there's just so much pollution...As the American people got fatter, so did marmosets, vervet monkeys and mice. The problem may be bigger than any of us.

* Glenn Greenwald: NSA shares raw intelligence including Americans' data with Israel

*American Exceptionalism was proclaimed - and immediately mocked by anti-establishmentarians and foreign leaders.  What a good week that was!

*Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government estimates that US wars in Afghanistan, Iraq to cost $6 trillion.

*Anthony Gregory review of Human Smoke: The Beginnings of World War II, the End of Civilization by Nicholson Baker.

My favorite of all the adorable rottweiller puppy videos:

This short one comes in second.

Oh, but let's not totally lose touch with the reality of our violent patriarchal world...

To end on a more positive note, a book I've been meaning to read:

Happy New Year! Please universal consciousness...

 
Visualizing lots of happiness, productivity and prosperity for 2015 for me and all beings in the universe!  Couple images grabbed from a web pages and a version of John Lennon's IMAGINE - which they play just before the ball drops in Times Square.  Imagine - anarchy in Times Square!

RT tv channel had a great review of a year where the number of sunspots were relatively few, but the protests kept on going, per my article Sunspot cycles and activist strategies (which I hope to update with lots of facts and figures this year.)

Headline: Reckless Congress ‘Declares War’ on Russia

 It should be a headline across the United (for now) States! 

But it's just a headline of Antiwar.com article. 

War with Russia, isn't that special... wonder what it means??

 

 

 

Fighting for Our Freedom vs. Rank Sexism

If my sinus/chest cold ever clears up I'll be telling a story of rank and institutionalized sexism on a website which hundreds of millions of people - even journalists! - actually think is semi-credible.  Just one more place where women must fight for our freedom.  Though compared to giant militarized patriarchal nation states, it's a nick on a gnat's knee...

Put cameras on the damned cops, already....

Another disgusting show of injustice by the racist US court system in finding the officer not prosecutable for the killing of Michael Brown.  The more one hears about the prosecutor's grand jury manipulations, the more disgusted one gets.  (Released documents here.) We need cameras on these cops' bodies so we don't have to take their word for what really happened any more. But of course, that's only the beginning of what we need to end racist and patriarchal oppression. See secession.net

Update:   Obviously, the video of Michael Brown's stepfather screaming "Burn this bitch down" expressed the frustration of millions of blacks after centuries of slavery followed by Jim Crow oppression followed by "Daddy State" oppression (we'll give government jobs to your sell outs and feed your poor kids if you stay out of our neighborhoods, don't marry our daughters, and let us kill or imprison enough of your adult males to keep you under our white supremacist control.) And of course the cops DO let them burn down their own neighborhoods and businesses in order to teach them a lesson.It happened in the 1960s and it happened in Ferguson. (In 1992 after Rodney King police acquittal, the cops weren't quite as much in control in Los Angeles; rioters burned down a lot of stores in half white neighborhoods, including the one I'd lived in a few years earlier.) 
 

Bullets or missle brought down MH-17?

Geez, they only now are collecting the carcass of the Malaysian commercial airliner MH-17 that was shot down over the Ukraine in July, 2014.The Western media continues to scream that Ukrainian rebels armed with a Russian ground to air missile did it. Even Al-Jazeera just assumes it's a missile from Ukrainian rebels. Both the US and Russia are stonewalling/taking their time on handing over satellite and radar evidence. 

The RT video below presents the Russian view that it was 30 millimeter bullets from a Ukrainian fighter jet that shot down the plane. Most impressive is photographs of the very noticeable vapor trail such a missile would leave, video of Russians using such bullets to shoot into some old planes, comparison of the damage to that on MH-17, and eye witnesses who are sure they heard a plane.  There are a couple questionable assertions I didn't bother to check and there's a noticeable lack of some radar evidence presented last summer indicating an aircraft.

There's been lots of time since July to tamper with the evidence in the field; and there will be more opportunities once it gets into the hands of the Ukrainian government whose security apparatus has been infiltrated by Ukraine's Right Sector neofascists. Most infamously Andriy Parubiy who was a top security secretary from after the February coup to August 2014 when he mysteriously was driven from power. But now he's head of the People's Front party that just got 22% of the seats in Ukraine's Parliament. They have their own military council of which he's part.

Hope there are some honest people watching the evidence every minute. If there are they'll probably turn up dead in a field with a big fat round in their head. 

It's strange that with all the exposes about right-wing white power ultra-nationalist neo-fascist violent crazies threatening the US and Europe, when one like the Right Sector actually becomes prominent in a government, the US/NATO pretend it's not a factor. They can't admit even to themselves the possibility that a Right Sector leader/militant ordered or facilitated the shoot down of the plane to make Russia look bad and get US/NATO reinforcement.Or maybe they've figured it out and thus are keeping the Ukrainians at arms length, using them just as pawns in US/NATO plans to further crush Russia and it's many growing alliances worldwide.  

I hate power politics!!  But every now and then you have to exercise your mind and write about it.

It's a scary world we live in when people can shoot down a commercial plane and giant powers and their underlings can suppress evidence.  And these scary people still have lots of nukes and continue to bleed us dry.

"I Chose the Apple"

Been wanting to put something short and happy up, and this is it.  An almost 40 year old song of mine that still says it all!

New Zealand feminists fight sexism on Youtube

Doing some research on the vicious harassment of women online, done largely by sexually frustrated and emotionally disturbed males, especially jobless english footballers from lower middle class neighborhoods and asperger-afflicted americans in their mother's basements. Found this funny video reply to a Robin Thicke song/video I never heard of before. His words were nearly unintelligible but these women Law Students from the University of Auckland in New Zealand get their message across loud and clear.  I have a loose definition of feminist myself: any woman who refuses to put up with male bull in any part of her life.


Speaking of "castrating females" - this one just won a seat in the U.S. Senate!

Scariest Holloween movie...

Wandering the dials for good scary movies tonight when came across the scariest one I've seen this week. A Turner Classic Movies short between two old horror movies. But this is the one that will give me nightmares... Not the exact one below, but close enough.  Thousands of volunteers and hospitals that can be set up in four hours outside the blast zone. Americans must be prepared for the inevitable. Blah blah.  Of course today they intend to just spring that war on us. There's just too dang many of us anyway!

Scots decide to postpone independence til after catastrophe

Being a radical decentralist, I do not think that a 51% vote should force all Scots to declare independence from Britain. So I can't be too disappointed by the vote. Of course, it would be fun to see the English imperialists whose grand-daddies murdered millions of captive peoples over hundreds of years get a good sock in the nose. (Think Ireland and India, in addition to Scotland.) 

Of course, as a radical decentralist I think that any one who wants to get out from under the the British boot should have a right to do it today. Looks like 53 percent of Glasgow is ready!  

But I predict that Scots eventually will declare independence. Like when the British economy collapses again under the weight of debt caused by militarism, the looting rich and too many Brits on the dole. When half those working for the British government loose their jobs, and two-thirds of those working for British corporations do as well, the Scots will be delighted to take back their land from the superiority complex-ridden but ultimately self-destructive British elites and their dumb supporters.  

I just hope Scotland doesn't have to take too many nuclear hits when the British imperialists help the United States promote nuclear war (accidentally or on purpose) with Russia.  Keep baiting the bear, you stupid wankers.

Flying like a bird over Manhattan... yoo ha!!

I'm doing this in my next life.  I'll probably be a macho latino guy, so this is a positive outlet for that energy.

Enough, already, you can keep the old, ugly Doctor Who

Like a lot of people I said, "Oh, no, they're going to replace fun cute Matt Smith "Dr Who" with some ugly old guy.  It'll never watch. I'll never watch it. boo hoo hoo."

I think it was about the 8th time someone in the first Capaldi episode brought up how disgusting it was he was old and ugly, emphasizing much breast beating by various characters,I said, "Ok, you win, let him be old and ugly. Just don't talk about it any more!" Just in case they needed to reach the hard cases (those who really are young and pretty), they bemoaned the Horrible Fact another 6 or 7 times.   Is that called reverse psychology?  Or just psychology. 

And if we keep talking about getting rid of patriarchy and violence and war will they get fed up and say, "OK, let there be equality and freedom and peace and love" and cut out all their BS?  Time hopefully will tell...

Update 9/16/14: After three shows I can honestly say I LOVE THE NEW DR. WHO.  After all he IS 10 years younger than me, about the age I like them. And Peter Capadi is cute and funny like Roberto Benigni of "It's a beautiful life" fame.  Plus he's Scottish, and hopefully those brave souls will be freeing themselves from the English yoke this week in their September 2014 referendum.

Warlord McCain with ISIS warlords... and anti-Warlordism in Ferguson

A Huffington Post listing of McCain's support for the "Freedom fighters" in Syria is quite a contrast to his recent calls for US military destruction of the Islamic State (of Iraq/Syria/Levant) - aka ISIS.  But as ISIS released photos show, he met with one or more of of their leaders already. Warlord meets warlords.

Now he wants to bomb his buddies. We'd all be dead in nuclear war if that psycho-pathological nut had been elected president in 2008.  Unfortunately, it's likely the Republicans will elect a similar nut in 2016, one that wants to do a quickie first strike on Russia and China, as well as to keep on warring on Arabs and Muslims.  Unless Americans reject the warmongering vs. Arabs and Russians being promoted now.

At least Americans rebelled against the police state in this country over in Ferguson, Missouri (even if there was macho and/or government provocateur looting and burning and molotov cocktail throwing). Now Americans must make the connection between police racial oppression at home and US militaristic racist imperialism world wide, including even against all those white people who don't speak English as a first language! Images from rebelling citizens below.

And let's not forget what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians.

Reminder to Israelis and their supporters: 

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL 

 (Palestinian land)

THOUGH SHALT NOT KILL

(Palestinians to get or keep that land)

Remind me to make my own photo meme thingie...

Washington DC protest August 9, 2014

Oh, that Russell Brand!

I've seen him a few times and generally found him amusing. This video is particularly good, making fun of Sean Hannity for his terrorist behavior towards his Palestinian guest. Plus more meme graphics telling it like it is...

 

Brave American Jew in Israel stands up for Palestinian rights

Counter-protesting can help those who are uncomfortable with the general consensus but not quite ready to break from it, do so...

Libertarian metaphysics, ethics and social organization are the rising consciousness...

My views on most topics are well known by now: patriarchy sucks; violence sucks; organized violence in the form of the state sucks.

Metaphysical libertarianism (creative free will as basis of reality) and libertarian ethnics and social organization (liberty for the individual without threatened or actual violent coercion by individuals, groups or states; individuals create communities which network and confederate as needed to deal with common issues; super-majority/direct democracy within a contractual framework) is the solution.

This view must assume one follows libertarian metaphysics which rejects all those tyrannical patriarchal gods and their dominance and control fanaticism, as well as sexual stereotypes and automatic group think, of course. Anyway, my views aren't all that unusual.  Libertarian metaphysics and social organization are the rising consciousness.  Just a few examples are the insightful graphics and links below.  

So even if I croak off tomorrow and never finish my book CONSCIOUSNESS AND COMMUNITY: TRANSCENDING GOD AND STATE, the evolution of consciousness will happen.  The only question is, will it happen before or after we kill off 6 billion people in a nuclear holocaust, as Washington DC Imperialist Hawks are pushing us to do. REMEMBER THE 6 BILLION!!!
