Russkies and/or Diebold do not need to steal the elections if they have
gerrymandered the districts so that their minority of votes will always return
a majority of the representatives to the electoral body they are being elected
to. <br />
<br />
Obvious. Also very true. As an 18 year-old I left Texas for two months in July
and August of 1961 and returned to find that I was paying a sales tax and that
an income tax had become a violation of the Texas Constitution. <br />
<br />
No conspiracy. It was just the wealthy Texas oil company owners (who else
mattered in Texas politics then?) protecting their pocket books. and yes, it
was a manipulation of the low-impact elections. <br />
<br />
But LBJ was elected Vice President in that year, 1961. Unfortunately, he had
run both for Senator and for Vice President. In the special election for
Senator to replace Johnson, a strange little man who had been a WW II navy
enlisted man and taught government in Wichita Falls, Texas at Midwestern
University.(<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tower">John
Tower</a>). He and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H._W._Bush">George
Herbert Walker Bush</a> between them cleaned up the Texas Republican
Party so that it was no longer one of the conservative crazy parties (like
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Nazi_Party">American
Nazi Party</a> and the KKK - I knew members of all of these groups in
high school - they switched between organizations back and forth) and became a
serious political party in Texas. <br />
<br />
Tower became a Senator and Bush was given the CIA by Nixon as a result of their
building the Republican Party in Texas. <br />
<br />
When the Civil Rights Movement became successful in Texans the Republican
opposition to African-Americans in Texas went underground and was referred to
by code words rather than by active blatant racist language. But both
Bush and Tower continued to run for elections as racist candidates. <br />
<br />
Gerrymandered districts have been the key method of running racist campaigns in
Texas especially since <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush%27s_Brain">Karl
Rove</a> took over the Bush campaign for governor and defeated Ann
Richards. Based on this same racism to attract many voters, George W. Bush was
elected President. But it could no longer be blatant in-your-face racism.
<br />
<br />
Such racism created anti-racist blowback that made it ineffective. Since the
Presidential election of 2000 the racism has had to be dog whistles in which
the racists coordinate using code words the rest of us no longer recognize. I
suspect that the blatant racism as a campaign tactic was a key element of the
election of Barack Obama. <br />
<br />
So after 2008, liberal anti-racists thought we had won with Obama. McConnell
proved us wrong, and we drew the wrong conclusions. The Presidential election
of 2008 was not the victory for anti-racism. <br />
<br />
The elections in America continue to this day to be about race and racism, not
about the code words liberal and conservative. Those words are European in origin
and are used by American politicians to conceal the degree of racism they are
appealing to in our elections. Conservatives hide their racism to avoid liberal
blow-back. And we anti-racists let them do it. But every time we let the
political discussion shift to European ideas of economics, we liberals are
conceding the racist vote. Economics in America are not about wealth or class
relations. They are about the competition between Black and White races which -
as created by the wealthy White Virginia slave-owning planters to prevent their
serfs (White and African) from revolting and displacing them - was a way the
wealthy plantation-owners manipulated the lower classes and kept their wealth
to themselves. The owners and executive of Wells Fargo Bank have been
conducting similar scams today. <br />
<br />
(By creating chattel slavery, wealthy owners marked two classes of serfs
- white skins and dark skins. They passed laws against the dark skins owning weapons
and required the white skins to own weapons and belong to the state militia.
The state militia then was required to do nightly patrols to prevent the
dark-skinned individuals - prevented by law from owning weapons - from
revolting. Two separate law codes were created to separate the artificially
created races and the white skinned ones were require to enforce those laws.
RACE IS AN ARTIFICIAL CONSTRUCT! <u>There is no difference between those
of white skins and those of darker skins except the way the children are
treated as they grow up!</u></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498743.post-21603115882234714202018-02-02T12:36:00.000-06:002018-02-02T12:36:17.311-06:00Renewing the BlogI am trying to renew this blog, and I am not at all sure what I left behind.

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Look. The political battle going on today is between generations who
have a very different life style and most importantly, a very different idea of
who should by rights run America. The conservatives are the older generation
who grew up in an America dominated mostly by small towns and in farming
communities. Those communities were last seen as really dominant on TV in the
1950's with White families living in houses behind white picket fences. <br />
<br />
That older America was a caste society in which if you were born White you were
superior and you got handed the things that non-whites had to fight and
struggle for. It was a caste society because you were born to a social level
and could not leave it. But check the population figures for America. Since WW
II the population has more than doubled and ALL of that increase has moved into
large cities. Worse, most of those farms from before WW II are now abandoned in
the countryside. The jobs people perform in the cities require more education
and are a lot more specialized. <br />
<br />
The cities are also largely populated by minorities, and to a greater extent
are now run by minorities. White Privilege is now mostly gone in the cities!
White Privilege got Paul Ryan his current job in the House of Representatives,
but only because the Constitution gives greater weight to rural
agricultural-economy votes than it does to city votes - and the writers of the
Constitution specifically said that was the reason they created our government
structure. They trusted the yeoman farmer more than the city "mob."<br />
<br />
Now, in spite of the remaining dregs of White Supremacy, an African-American
has occupied the White House. Mexicans are leaving the subsistence farms killed
by NAFTA and moving to the U.S. (because Mexico has no ability to create
industrial jobs - no water, no ports or cheap transportation especially.) Interracial
marriage is totally acceptable and not especially unusual - in the cities. The
rare individuals born as gay, lesbian, or even transgender are now accepted in
society. <br />
<br />
One result is that older White workers are killing themselves off through drugs
and alcohol because they cannot adapt to the changes. The angry older whites
are fighting as conservatives now. That's what the current politics is all
about. The skinheads Trump is inciting want the U.S. to return to the old days
where they did not have to get educated to find a good job, but those days are
over and good riddance! <br />
<br />
Trump is emotionally appealing to the last of the White Supremacists, and
if he tries to move away from him they will drop him. Trump's reaction has been
to ramp up the violence he incites. There will be more violence, and Trump is
going to fail as he tries to move to a kinder, gentler general election
position. He has nowhere to go but more violence. <br />
<br />
When Trump gets the nomination he is probably going to take the GOP down worse
than Goldwater did. Unfortunately, Ted Cruz is worse - and much smarter- than
Trump, and Cruz has set himself to pick up the pieces if Trump collapses before
the General Election. Cruz is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_Theology">dominionist.</a>
He fervently believes his father when his father says God has anointed Ted Cruz
as America's next leader. He is going to try to pick up the pieces left by
Trump and recreate America as a so-called Christian Nation. <br />
<br />
</span>I think the American politics in the next nine months are going to be
truly frightening and quite violent. Trump thinks he can control the violence
so that it mostly just shows up on TV. He's wrong.</div>

Published polls from NBC and the Wall street Journal indicate that <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/center-left-economic-ideas-dominate">Center-Left economic Ideas dominate</a> with the voting public. <br />
<br />
The Obama administration has taken a major step towards permitting <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/center-left-economic-ideas-dominate">state experimentation into the medical properties of Marijuana.</a> <br />
<br />
A number of Republican governors who are running for President (Christi, Jindal, and O'Malley) are finding that voters in their own respective states have generally <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/yet-another-obama-admin-breakthrough-marijuana">decided not to support their home governors</a> for President. <br />
<br />
The 21 year old White racist who <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/19/us/charleston-church-shooting.html">murdered 9 parishioners is the landmark Black Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church</a> in Charlottesville, SC wanted to spark a race war. He failed to set off the war he wanted. Instead we are seeing <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/maddowblog">the beginning of bipartisan political actions to remove the racist symbol of the Confederate battle flag from South Carolina and Mississippi</a>, and WalMart has announced that it will stop selling all confederate flag merchandise in its stores.

The governments around the world replaced the money the banks lost (using taxpayer funds) because the economies of the world could never recover without functioning banks. But the economies of the world are running like my pickup truck did when one of the four cylinders would not work the piston. <br /><br />The issue with my truck engine was clear. I had to get all four cylinders working again. Joseph Stiglitz points out that the weak growth has left wages essentially stagnant. Six years after the financial collapse of the Wall Street Mega Banks the recovery has not gotten under way. Why? From <a href="http://www.livemint.com/Opinion/D6HPa2acTI77Si9eYF40BL/Joseph-E-Stiglitz--The-politics-of-economic-stupidity.html">LiveMint</a>: <blockquote>
<b>The malaise afflicting today’s global economy might be best reflected in two simple slogans: “It’s the politics, stupid” and “Demand, demand, demand.” The near-global stagnation witnessed in 2014 is man-made.</b> It is the result of politics and policies in several major economies—politics and policies that choked off demand. In the absence of demand, investment and jobs will fail to materialize. It is that simple.<br /><br />Nowhere is this clearer than in the euro zone, which has officially adopted a policy of austerity—cuts in government spending that augment weaknesses in private spending. <br /><br />The euro zone’s structure is partly to blame for impeding adjustment to the shock generated by the crisis; in the absence of a banking union, it was no surprise that money fled the hardest-hit countries, weakening their financial systems and constraining lending and investment. <br /><br /><b>In Japan</b>, one of the three “arrows” of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s programme for economic revival was launched in the wrong direction. <b>The fall in gross domestic product that followed the increase in the consumption tax in April provided further evidence in support of Keynesian economics—as if there was not enough already.</b> <br /><br />The US introduced the smallest dose of austerity, and it has enjoyed the best economic performance. But even in the US, there are roughly 650,000 fewer public-sector employees than there were before the crisis; normally, we would have expected some two million more. As a result, the US, too, is suffering, with growth so anaemic that wages remain basically stagnant.</blockquote>
So the problem is that the bankers and holders of wealth do not want more economic activity funded by government borrowed money. <br /><br />When you have more money than you need, then you use your wealth to gain social control instead of building more wealth. You use the power conferred by your wealth to suck up the wealth from the middle and working class. This is reflected in the anemic wages since 2008 together with the new records of the stock market as were announced last week. <br /><br />The power of the very wealthy (corporations, Wall Street Banks, and wealthy families who make up the 0.01%) is permitting them to create a neofeudal system of powerful families supported by their retainers and living off the work of the middle and working classes. <br /><br />It is not the case that no one knows how to get the economy operating on all cylinders again. It is the case that the 0.01% generally are recreating the society of the French Aristocracy prior to the French Revolution. They want to live on the work of the productive middle and working classes and avoid all taxes and responsibility. Why not? They inherited their social positions so they deserve it.

<br />
Think about it. Humans can plan their future lives and behavior. But
what factors shape those plans and the resulting behavior? More and more
the answer to that question is that we plan and organize our behavior -
not towards what we as individuals believe would be best for us, our
families or our society but for what the bankers will pay for and how we
will have to pay them back.<br />
<br />
And why to the bankers lend us the money we need to invest in our own futures? Because it will make them richer.<br />
<br />
The
first motivation of much of our modern society is to make bankers
richer. Do they try to loan towards the best possible lives and society?
Yeah, <i>if it will make them richer and if they can predict the payoff they will get!</i><br />
<br />
So are bankers evil?<br />
<br />
Not
in my opinion. But they are human. They are motivated by their own
personal wealth, and they look back to the propaganda of Adam Smith's
"Invisible Hand." And it's not in their personal advantage to question
Adam Smith. Instead they read financial statements and credit reports
while ignoring the human cost of their behavior. They are quick to see
the human benefit, but blind to the human cost. Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498743.post-32720366968829408852012-10-19T14:39:00.001-05:002012-10-19T14:44:24.268-05:00Barack Obama has defined the disease Romney suffers from . It's <b>Romnesia!</b><br />

Chris Hayes presented his view of the plutocracy in America as shown in the video-tape where Romney made his now famous "I can't reach 47% of Americans so I will just ignore them." speech. Chris (in his Sunday show on September 23, 2012) analyzes the problems of plutocracy and the power of money to spread the ignorance and fears of the plutocrats who control that wealth.

Plutocrats have power, but the power they have is a power they use primarily to maintain the wealth that gives them their social position and power. They tend to make rotten politicians and worse government officials because they are blinded to the needs of the nation by their own needs to maintain themselves. That's what Romney's description of the 47% as moochers really means.

He's horibble!Mitt was always going to win the Republican primary. So why did he have to endure it?<br />
<br />
First he had to prove to the wealthy powerful funders of the today's Republican Party that he could pull the various wings of the party together, and second it was necessary to give the evangelicals and Neocons the belief they still belonged to the Party. Then there was the need of the wealthy funders of the modern Republican Party to demonstrate their control on Romney.Mitt was always going to win the Republican primary.

Then there was the need of the wealthy funders of the modern Republican Party to demonstrate their control on Romney.
My suspicion is that the wealthy funders of the conservative Republican Party funded the crazy-clown-candidates primarily in order to trap Mitt into committing to the ideology they wanted. The primary was also a test of whether he could possibly get the unified Republicans to vote for him. G. W. Bush passed this latter test first, and was already one of the money Republicans because of who his father and grandfather were.
None of the clowns in the primary were going to actually win the primary. That was one of the major goals of having the primary. The other candidates represented factions to whom it had to be demonstrated that they could not go it alone politically.
The other candidates were all in the contest either because of the money they had access to (Perry and also Gingrich and Cain) or because they represented the evangelicals (Bachman, Santorum.) The primary was Mitt's to lose and he didn't. But the minority Republicans were sucked in and given the feeling they had a chance and that they had some influence in the Republican Party.
The Ron Paul Republicans were the only ones not similarly suckered into supporting the national party. Even they were given the clear understanding that they had no other place to go. The Republican Primary gave the Libertarian Republicans a clear understanding that while the Republicans were not ideal for them the Democrats were much worse. In the end they were led to understand that the Republicans were more amenable to their message than the Democrats were.
From the point of view of the Romney campaign the primary was a near thing. He won it, but without demonstrating that he could deal with the current very new political situation in America. Mitt only won the primary because he had no real competition.

Jonathon Haidt, a social psychologist, has written <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/righteous-mind-jonathan-haidt/1102305565?ean=9780307377906">The Righteous Mind</a> and Chris Mooney, a linguist, has written <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/?store=book&ttl=the%20republican%20brain&usri=the%20republican%20brain">The Republican Brain</a>. <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46979738/vp/47312777#47304976">Chris Hayes interviewed them</a> May 5th.</p><p>
The discussion is around the idea of how we think and argue politically. It begins with Jonathon Haidt describing how humans do not take an idea in, rationally analyze it and decide whether to accept it or not, then explain the rational decision to others. Psychology has established that we make our decisions for reasons other than rational ones, then develop a rationale which we present to others to convince them we are right. </p><p>
That sounds like it throws rational science into a cocked hat, but it doesn't. What happens is that others take the rational idea presented, analyze that, then others make a decision which is probably more rational than the first person's decision was. It sounds to me as though rational decision making is more of a group process than an individual process. </p><p>
Watch this clip and see if they don't offer a convincing argument. </p><p>

<p>This is a story posted by <a href="http://motherjones.com/politics/2012/04/angola-prison-3-herman-wallace-albert-woodfox-40-years-solitary-confinement">Mother Jones</a> last Tuesday. (Hat Tip <a href="http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/dispatch-from-torture-nation-no-country.html">Digby</a> this morning.) </p><blockquote><p>On the world stage, Guantanamo may well stand as the epitome of American human rights abuses. But when it comes to torture on US soil, that grim distinction is held by two aging African American men. As of today, Herman Wallace and Albert Woodfox have spent 40 years in near-continuous solitary confinement in the bowels of the Louisiana prison system. Most of those years were spent at the notorious Angola Prison, which is why Wallace and Woodfox are still known as members of the Angola 3. The third man, Robert King, was released in 2001; his conviction was overturned after he'd spent 29 years in solitary.</p><p>
Wallace and Woodfox were first thrown into the hole on April 17, 1972, following the killing of Brent Miller, a young prison guard. The men contend that they were targeted by prison authorities and convicted of murder not based on the actual evidence—which was dubious at best—but because they were members of the Black Panther Party's prison chapter, which was organizing against horrendous conditions at Angola. This political affiliation, they say, also accounted for their seemingly permanent stay in solitary.</p><p>
For four decades, the men have spent at least 23 hours a day in cells measuring 6 feet by 9 feet. These days, they are allowed out one hour a day to take a shower or a stroll along the cellblock. Three days a week, they may use that hour to exercise alone in a fenced yard. Wallace is now 70; Woodfox is 65. Their lawyers argue that both have endured physical injury and "severe mental anguish and other psychological damage" from living most of their adult lives in lockdown. According to medical reports submitted to the court, the men suffer from arthritis, hypertension, and kidney failure, as well as memory impairment, insomnia, claustrophobia, anxiety, and depression. Even the psychologist brought in by the state confirmed these findings.</blockquote> Consider this in light of this revelation from <a href="http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2012/04/george_w_bush_and_torture_america_s_highest_officials_are_responsible_for_the_enhanced_interrogation_of_prisoners_.single.html">Slate</a> By Larry Siems (author of the website <a href="http://www.thetorturereport.org/">www.thetorturereport.org</a> and then of the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1935928554/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=slatmaga-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1935928554">The Torture Report: What the Documents Say About America’s Post-9/11 Torture Program</a>.) yesterday. Larry read nearly 140,000 formerly classified documents about America’s abuse of prisoners since 2001 to extract this summary: <blockquote>On Sept. 17, 2001, six days after the terrorist attacks in Washington, D.C., President George W. Bush sent a 12-page Memorandum of Notification to his National Security Council. That memorandum, we know now, authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to set up and run secret prisons. We still don’t know exactly what it says: CIA attorneys have told a judge the document is so off-limits to the courts and the American people that even the font is classified. But we do know what it did: It literally opened a space for torture.</p>
<p>[...]</p>
<p>Here is what I learned.</p><p>
Our highest government officials up to and including President Bush, broke international and U.S. laws banning torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. Worse, they made their subordinates in the military and civilian intelligence services break those laws for them.</p><p>
When the men and women they asked to break those laws protested, knowing they could be prosecuted for torture, they pretended to rewrite the law. They commissioned legal opinions they said would shield those who carried out the abuses from being hauled into court, as the torture ban requires. “The law has been changed,” detainees around the world were told. “No rules apply.”</p><p>
Then they tortured. They tortured men at military bases and detention centers in Afghanistan and Iraq, in Guantánamo, and in U.S. Navy bases on American soil; they tortured men in secret CIA prisons set up across the globe specifically to terrorize and torture prisoners; they sent many more to countries with notoriously abusive regimes and asked them to do the torturing. At least twice, after the torturers themselves concluded there was no point to further abuse, Washington ordered that the prisoners be tortured some more.</p><p>
They tortured innocent people. They tortured people who may have been guilty of terrorism-related crimes, but they ruined any chance of prosecuting them because of the torture. They tortured people when the torture had nothing to do with imminent threats: They tortured based on bad information they had extracted from others through torture; they tortured to hide their mistakes and to get confessions; they tortured sometimes just to break people, pure and simple.</p><p>
And they conspired to cover up their crimes. They did this from the start, by creating secret facilities and secrecy regimes to keep what they were doing from the American people and the world. They did it by suppressing and then destroying evidence, including videotapes of the torture. They did it by denying detainees legal process because, as the CIA’s Inspector General put it in a 2004 report, when you torture someone you create an “Endgame” problem: You end up with detainees who, “if not kept in isolation, would likely divulge information about the circumstances of their detention.”</p></blockquote><p> Like Digby I was angry at the torture of the Black Panthers in Louisiana's Angola prison. Digby points out that the Angola Warden <a href="http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/07/burl-cain-angola-prison">Burl Cain</a> is responsible for keeping the two men in solitary for four decades and intends to keep them there until they die for fear that releasing them from solitary will let them "infect" the younger Black prisoners with their Black Pantherism. But Cain also runs the prison to convert criminals to fundamentalist religion. Convert and you live well. Don't convert and you get the well-known Angola Hell. Needless to say the radical religious right-wing in America knows Cain well and applauds his actions to bring the criminals to God.</p><p>
But Cain has been Warden since 1995. He was simply an early warning of the radical christianists well before they got George W. Bush close enough to election that the Supreme Court Federalist Catholics appointed him President over the rightful President, Al Gore. This is the culture the tea party Republicans and the religious right want to inflict on America with the election of Mitt Romney.</p><p>
I have already concluded that the Bush Cheney administration will be one of the darkest recorded periods of American history, similar to Andrew Jackson's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_of_Tears">Trail of Tears</a>. Just look at the <a href="http://motherjones.com/politics/2012/04/angola-prison-3-herman-wallace-albert-woodfox-40-years-solitary-confinement">Mother Jones</a> article. Where has this come from? Andrew Jackson was a slave-holding frontiersman. Burl Cain is a Southern <s>plantation master</s> Louisiana Prison Farm Warden. The Republican Party today is the party of Louisiana, South Carolina and the rest of the Confederate South. </p><p>
Mitt Romney is not simply a flip-flopper. He is the man the Republican Party has long ago selected to be the Presidential nominee they wanted to put up against Barack Obama in 2012, and he is a conservative Bishop of an extremely right-wing evangelical religious denomination. He is also a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zelig">Zelig</a> with a strong aristocratic set of core beliefs. Why did Romney <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/04/romney-rejects-obamas-silver-spoon-comment/">react so harshly</a> to Obama's mere comment that he and Michele were not born with a silver Spoon in their mouths? </p><p>
Because it hit too close to home. Like Shrub, Romney was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple. And like Shrub, Romney is the representative of the very wealthy, very conservative radical right-wing Republicans who want to take America back from the Black/Muslim/Communist/Democratic usurper who might actually just rebuild the American economy from the very low level the Bush/Cheney administration left it.</p><p>
Romney has been practicing his life-long talent for being a zelig in order to obtain the Presidency. Once he has done that he will hand this nation over to the militarists, the evangelical right-wing, and to the Wall Street free traders who make their money whether America prospers or declines as long as they remain unregulated.

Science is beginning to determine that liberals and conservatives really do live in different universes. This is a quick report <a href="http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/01/biology-of-conflict/?intcid=story_ribbon">from Wired.</a> <br /><br />Research has already shown that, compared to liberals, conservatives display heightened responses to threatening images. Michael Dodd of the University of Nebraska wanted to explore this in finer detail: He showed 46 left- or right-leaning Nebraskans a series of images alternately disgusting (spiders on faces, open wounds) and appealing (smiling children, cute rabbits.) Dodd's team found that conservatives reacted most strongly to negative images, and liberals most strongly to positive photographs.<br /><br />Then he showed them pictures of well-known politicians. The same patterns held: Conservatives displayed more distaste than liberals for politicians they disliked, while liberals felt more positive than conservatives about politicians they liked. Given these and other findings, wrote Dodd's team, "those on the political right and those on the political left may simply experience the world differently."<br /><br />That sounds pessimistic, but it doesn't have to be. It can be a healthy reminder that people with whom we disagree aren't stupid or irrational; they just have different perspectives.<blockquote>"<img

With Russia in steep decline in the 1990s and China still run as a small, cautious power, the US emerged as what the French called a Hyperpower, the sole superpower. US hawks were impatient that Bill Clinton seemed not to realize that he had complete freedom of movement for a brief window of time. It was the new US status of hyperpower that allowed the G. W. Bush administration to respond to the September 11 terrorist attacks by launching two major wars and a host of smaller struggles, all against targets in the Muslim world.<br /><br />As of 2011, the age of the US hyperpower is passing, along with the possibilities for American wars of choice, i.e., wars of aggression. </blockquote> Was 2011 the year that signals the end of America as the only World Hyperpower. Al Jazeera showed an hour long program called Empire that suggests it was. Here is an excerpt from the transcript of that program (<a href="http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/empire/2011/12/20111222131842527472.html">transcript here</a>.) <blockquote>Marwan Bishara<br /><br />This is Empire.<br /><br />Hello and welcome to Empire. I am Marwan Bishara. The United States has the world’s biggest economy, strongest military and the most influential culture. It’s the only power with a global project defended and supported by more aircraft carriers, Fortune 500 companies and most successful media-tainment conglomerates than any other. But America’s post-cold war optimism, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, has given way to pessimism, forecasting a declining power and more crucially, the end of an American era. The rise of new divisional and global powers, coupled with Washington’s recent war fiascos and financial crisis have worsened the outlook for America’s future.<br /><br /><b>Countless books have gone beyond recent developments to illustrate a persistent decline</b> with titles like <i>Suicide of a Superpower, The Empire Has No Clothes, Taming American Power, Nemesis, The Last Days of the American Republic, Colossus, The Rise and Fall of The American Empire</i> and <i>Selling Out a Superpower</i>. But how serious are the Doomsday scenarios? Is this decline temporary or reversible and what does it mean to America and the rest of the world? Well joining me to answer these questions and more are Tom Engelhardt, editor of the American Empire Project and a popular website Tomdispatch, the author of the United States of Fear. Susan Glasser, editor-in-chief of Foreign Policy magazine, former editor at the Washington Post and co-author of Kremlin Rising Vladimir Putin’s Russia And The End of Revolution. And Cynthia Enloe, professor of woman’s studies and international development at Clark University, the author of The Real State of America Atlas, Mapping the Myths and Truths of the United States and Bananas, Beaches and Bases, Making Feminist Sense of International Politics. Last, but not least, Stephen Walt, professor of International Affairs at Harvard University, the author of Taming American Power and co-author of the Israel Lobby. Our starting point is US strategic overstretch. </blockquote>The show itself is here:<br /><br /><center><object id="flashObj" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0" height="270" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&isUI=1"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="flashVars" value="videoId=1342927391001&linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fenglish.aljazeera.net%2Fprogrammes%2Fempire%2F2011%2F12%2F2011122285418789367.html&playerID=664965303001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAmtVJIFk~,TVGOQ5ZTwJZbyLu770YWZ_LE4OaoU5Nv&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true"><param name="base" value="http://admin.brightcove.com"><param name="seamlesstabbing" value="false"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="swLiveConnect" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&isUI=1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashvars="videoId=1342927391001&linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fenglish.aljazeera.net%2Fprogrammes%2Fempire%2F2011%2F12%2F2011122285418789367.html&playerID=664965303001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAmtVJIFk~,TVGOQ5ZTwJZbyLu770YWZ_LE4OaoU5Nv&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" swliveconnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" height="270" width="480"></embed></object></center><br /><br />America's relative economic decline internationally has been quite obvious for several decades. In some ways I suspect that America has been trading the existence of its middle class for the military that has substituted for the economic dominance that existed after the end of WW II. The election of Ronald Reagan as President signaled both the end of increases in real wages for workers and the sharp increase in the absolute size of the American military. That increase in the military has been the largest single reason for the deficit that the Conservatives have decried since Obama was elected President, but the deficit has occurred primarily under Republican Presidents.<br /><br />Now the Wall Street banks have given the world the Great Recession and America can no longer afford to spend a third of the federal budget on a military force that is more expensive that the total military forces of every other nation in the world.<br /><br />All of these trends came together in 2011. Something is going to have to change radically in 2012. In fact, it may have already changed and we are only just beginning to see what broke. As this election year plays out a lot of it will be exposed - and the fear of the changes will bring forth a lot of lies to conceal the facts. 2012 is going to be a rough year.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498743.post-77167666558945631042011-12-25T09:27:00.003-06:002011-12-25T09:42:12.685-06:00Romney will be the Republican nomineeRight now the four possible Republican candidates for President are Romney, Gingrich, Ron Paul and trailing the pack, Rick Perry. But the recent announcement that Gingrich and Perry failed to qualify for the very significant Virginia primary to be held March 6, 2012 pretty much establishes that Romney is going to be the nominee. Let's look at Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich and Rick perry individually. <br /><br /><b>Ron Paul</b><br /><br />Ron Paul has a good chance to win the Iowa caucuses according to <a href="http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/24/pauls-influence-doesnt-just-depend-on-him/#more-20821">Nate Silver</a>. But he isn't likely to be able to build on that relatively strong showing in Iowa. His support is quite strong, but very narrow. Nate estimates that at the very best Ron Paul might be able to get about one-third of the Republican votes. <br /><br />Nate bases his opinion on a series of polls. But his analysis comes from before the Republican establishment really started going after Ron Paul because he was beginning to appear to be a real threat to Romney. The growing chorus quoting <a href="http://www.thegrio.com/politics/ron-paul-racist-newsletters-the-top-10-most-racially-insensitive-claims.php">Ron Paul's racist writings in his 1980's and 1990's news letters</a> will lower these numbers. So will wider distribution of his views regarding pulling American troops back to the American shores and entering a new period of American isolationism. <br /><br />Ron Paul's fervant supporters will keep him in the Republican nomination process until it ends, but I think Nate Silver's estimate as high as one-third of Republican voters is highly optomistic. <br /><br /><b>Newt Gingrich</b><br /><br />The next candidate to look at is Newt Gingrich. Newt's disorganization has jumped up to bite him big time. He has <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-12-24/gingrich-perry-fail-to-qualify-for-ballot-in-virginia-republican-primary.html">failed to qualify for the Virginia Primary</a> which is to be held on Super Tuesday March 6, 2012. His campaign needed signatures from 10,000 registered voters, including 400 from each of the states 11 Congressional Districts. The Newt campaign could not organize itself well enough to achieve a relatively small admininstrative requirement by the deadline. This failure demonstrates what most observers already recognize - Newt is horribly disorganized. <br /><br />It will be interesting to see if Newt's secretive backers and their Super Pacs who have funded Newt's recent rise from obscurity to being considered a viable candidate forthe Republican nomination as an alternate to Romney will continue throught the Spring. <br /><br /><b>Rick Perry</b><br /><br />Rick Perry, the only other non-Romney candidate likely to be able to compete into the Spring, also <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/virginia-politics/post/perry-disqualified-from-va-primary-ballot/2011/12/23/gIQA3BZNEP_blog.html">failed to qualify for the Virginia primary.</a> Like Newt, Rick Perry has had the appearance of being a well-funded alternative to Mitt Romney. His <a href="http://blog.chron.com/rickperry/">series of gaffes in the debates</a> have clearly demonstrated that he is not Presidential quality, but his deep-pocketed funders in Texas have been willing to shell out the money for the primary season anyway. I'm not sure what his funders thought they were going to buy, but it's pretty sure Rick Perry will never deliver to them. America as a whole is the winner here. <br /><br /><b>Mitt Romney</b><br /><br />Given the weaknesses of Romney's three major opponents and the fact that the Republican establishment is circling the wagons in support of Mitt it looks like Mitt Romney will, as previously expected, be the Republican nominee for President. <br /><br />Is there a chance this line up will change this spring? There's always a chance, but that chance is getting smaller and smaller. Without the Virginia votes on Super Tuesday Gingrich and Perry are very unlikely to be able to effectively challenge Romney. Ron Paul will never get over 35% of the Republicans and I'll be surprised if he gets 20%. The more Paul moves to become a real challenger the more the fact that he is utterly insane will become clear even to the Republican voters. The field of candidates really has winnowed down that tightly. <br /><br />Both the tea partiers and the evangelical Republicans are going to make a lot of noise objecting to Romney, but as spring moves forward their hatred of Obama and the hope that Romney can defeat him will damp down that noise. As much as the evangelicals dislike Romney's Mormon religion, they hate Obama and the Democrats worse. They will hold their collective noses and prepare to vote for Romney in November. <br /><br />The media is going to hate this. Where is the conflict that drives ratings and advertising? No drama Obama isn't going to give it to them, and while Romney will try to lure the media in he doesn't have much to offer them until after the Republican convention in August. That leaves the media in about a six months long silly season from Super Tuesday until the conventions. Then it will be Obama vs Romney - just as has been clear since last summer.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498743.post-72119711450378413082011-12-18T15:41:00.002-06:002011-12-18T16:00:43.153-06:00Gingrich recognizes the Supreme Court's self-inflected political weaknessNewt Gingrich <a href="http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/12/gingrich-capitol-police-could-arrest-radical-judges.php?ref=fpnewsfeed">told Bob Schieffer today on CBS' Face the Nation</a> that America does not need to obey orders of the Supreme Court if America disagrees with those court orders. In fact, he goes on to state that Congress can send the Capital Police to arrest 'Radical' Judges. <br /><br />I have to give Gingrich credit for choosing a detested target which has weakened itself politically during the 21st Century. <br /><br />The US Supreme Court (SC) has really worked very hard to destroy its' own political legitimacy, especially with their unjustified and clearly illegitimate appointment of Bush as President in 2000 as well as their judicial overreach going far beyond the issues in the case they had decided to accept in the declaration that corporations are people in Citizens United. <br /><br />Beyond their unjudicial and biased decisions there is also the refusal of the Justices to Clarence Thomas' and Scalia's unethical behavior. Their refusal to act within judicial ethics rules also has weakened the Supreme Court's legitimacy. Most of America - progressive and conservative both - no longer consider the declarations of the nine justices anything more than just the pronouncements of another bunch of cheap politicians. Gingrich <br /><br />Gingrich, as one of America's most notorious cheap politicians, has recognized all this self-inflicted weakness in the Supreme Court and has stepped in to take advantage of that fact. He is attacking the Supreme Court, and through it the entire American judicial system. Trust a nasty cheap politician like Gingrich to use the self-inflicted weakness of others to try to advance himself. <br /><br />Unfortunately for Gingrich it won't help him. He simply displays his own lack of character as he attacks the Supreme Court. He offers no analysis or correction to the court. All he is doing is showing off his own (imagined) intelligence as well has his own inability to function effectively in government.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498743.post-45322216666937832622011-12-16T15:00:00.003-06:002011-12-16T15:20:46.192-06:00Ron Paul, failed Austrian economics, and the GOPHere's <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/16/opinion/gop-monetary-madness.html?src=recg">a lesson in Ron Paul's Austrian economics.</a> Paul Krugman points out that Ron Paul has been consistently wrong in his economics, but that for some strange reason the GOP has decided to abandon its earlier good sense and join him in his pit of ignorance. <blockquote>Mr. Paul identifies himself as a believer in “Austrian” economics — a doctrine that it goes without saying rejects John Maynard Keynes but is almost equally vehement in rejecting the ideas of Milton Friedman. For Austrians see “fiat money,” money that is just printed without being backed by gold, as the root of all economic evil, which means that they fiercely oppose the kind of monetary expansion Friedman claimed could have prevented the Great Depression — and which was actually carried out by Ben Bernanke this time around.<br /><br />O.K., a brief digression: the Federal Reserve doesn’t actually print money (the Treasury does that). But the Fed does control the “monetary base,” the sum of bank reserves and currency in circulation. So when people talk about Mr. Bernanke printing money, what they really mean is that the Fed expanded the monetary base.<br /><br />And there has, indeed, been a huge expansion of the monetary base. After Lehman Brothers fell, the Fed began lending large sums to banks as well as buying a wide range of other assets, in a (successful) attempt to stabilize financial markets, in the process adding large amounts to bank reserves. In the fall of 2010, the Fed began another round of purchases, in a less successful attempt to boost economic growth. The combined effect of these actions was that the monetary base more than tripled in size.<br /><br />Austrians, and for that matter many right-leaning economists, were sure about what would happen as a result: There would be devastating inflation. One popular Austrian commentator who has advised Mr. Paul, Peter Schiff, even warned (on Glenn Beck’s TV show) of the possibility of Zimbabwe-style hyperinflation in the near future.<br /><br />So here we are, three years later. How’s it going? Inflation has fluctuated, but, at the end of the day, consumer prices have risen just 4.5 percent, meaning an average annual inflation rate of only 1.5 percent. Who could have predicted that printing so much money would cause so little inflation? Well, I could. And did. And so did others who understood the Keynesian economics Mr. Paul reviles. But Mr. Paul’s supporters continue to claim, somehow, that he has been right about everything. </blockquote>So the inflation that Austrian Economics predicts has not happened. Why not? <br /><br />Because the world is in a massive recession. By definition that means there are unused capital goods and workers who cannot find jobs. Inflation occurs when too much money chases too few jobs in the market. <br /><br />In that case the excess money has to compete with others who have money to buy capital goods. The competition drives the prices up - meaning competition for capital goods by people who need them and have money causes the price to rise. But prices are not rising. Why?<br /><br />Because no one has any use for the unused capital goods. The problem is not excess money. The problem is insufficient demand. That means there is not enough consumption to drive businesses to obtain capital goods in the market. Generally they simply use what they have already. They also do not hire more workers, and since workers create 70% of all consumption, demand is not increasing. Without anticipated consumption to drive it, businesses will not invest in more capital goods and will not hire more workers. <br /><br />Austrian Economics fails again. Ron Paul is, like most of the GOP leaders today, living in a fantasy world of his own making. The Austrian Economics/Libertarian fantasy is being pushed by wealthy individuals like to Koch Brothers through the CATO Institute primarily to weaken the power of the government over corporations, banks, and yes, wealthy families who would prefer to live in a plutocracy where they call all the shots.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498743.post-7972005400967341872011-12-16T13:17:00.003-06:002011-12-16T13:21:38.299-06:00Nikki Haley does Insurance industry bidding, damages people of Virginia, then lies about it.This is <a href="http://www.postandcourier.com/news/2011/dec/14/haley-dictated-panel-finding/">the Republican approach to health care policy.</a> <blockquote>Gov. Nikki Haley dictated the conclusions of a committee charged with deciding how the state should implement federal health care reform before the group ever held its first meeting, public documents show.<br /><br />Now, some of those involved in the dozens of meetings are calling the entire planning process a sham that wasted their time and part of a $1 million federal grant. <br /><br />In a March 31 email thread that included Haley, her top advisers and the committee member who eventually wrote the report, Haley wrote, "The whole point of this commission should be to figure out how to opt out and how to avoid a federal takeover, NOT create a state exchange," which is eventually what happened. <br /><br />A central part of the federal health care overhaul, an exchange is a marketplace where various insurance plans eventually will be sold. <br /><br />[...]<br /><br />The most recent progress reports filed with the federal government show the administration used about $109,000 of the $1 million grant through the end of November.<br /><br />Crangle said the exercise was "not in good faith" and called it "an abuse of federal funds." State money also is at issue because state employees were on state time when they attended dozens of exchange planning meetings, he said.<br /><br />Sue Berkowitz, an advocate for the uninsured who participated in planning discussions as executive director of S.C. Appleseed Legal Justice Center, said time was wasted.<br /><br />"We came together and sat down for a lot of meetings in good faith that we'd explore every option and discuss what is in the best interests of the state," she said. "I'm frustrated that we were being used for something that wasn't an open, transparent discussion."<br /><br />[...]<br /><br />Insurance exchanges are the state- or federally-run marketplaces where health coverage will be sold to individuals and small business employees beginning in 2014. They are a key part of the federal health law.<br /><br />Envisioned as the "Expedia" for health insurance, exchanges are intended to make purchasing health care easier and more affordable by allowing customers to compare options side-by-side.<br /><br />They also are intended to be the place where residents who make between 133 percent and 400 percent of the poverty level will apply for and collect federal tax credits to buy coverage.<br /><br />A state panel established by Gov. Nikki Haley recommended last month the state should not manage its own exchange. If Haley accepts the recommendations, South Carolina will join a handful of other states that already have declined to set up exchanges.<br /><br />States that do not set up exchanges by 2014 will be subject to federally run exchanges. </blockquote>In short, Nikki Haley does not want a competitive market in health insurance. She is governor of Virginia in part to ensure that Virginians have to buy health insurance from an oligopoly that already exists and wants no competition.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
