The Republican Base, Part 2 (Joe the Plumber)
2008-10-19 09:56:00
This needs to become a regular feature. Part 1 was here. Now comes Part 2.Does this mean that he is a rancher with a plum orchard? Forget it, look at the plungers.Actually, it was supposed to say, I Am Joe the Illiterate, but he couldn't spell that either, so he settled for this instead.This is actually a really cool trend. I hope the wingnuts start carrying toilet plungers at the Palin rallies. That would make my day.The real guy. He's not named Joe and he's not even a plumber. He's just an idiot practicing plumbing without a license for an unlicensed contractor. He never even made it to apprentice, he's so dumb. He owes over $1,000 in taxes to the city, but that's because he's a "millionaire." Yeah, he told Obama he's a millionaire. He's not. He's just some typical White Republican idiot.He told Obama he was going to buy a business for over $250,000/year and then he was going to be taxed on that, and that made him mad. Obama the socialist said he "wanted to spread the w...

What's With John McCain?
2008-10-19 09:50:00
John McCain, what is your fucking problem, dude?This is an actual photo from the last debate. McCain just got through shaking Obama's hand and then this. Is this some kind of a stand-up comic routine?File under, "Whatever, dude." C'mon White nationalists, look at this pic and tell me Whites are superior and Blacks are inferior. I dare ya.Click to enlarge. Of course, it's being Photoshopped as we speak. This one is pretty funny.This one isn't as well done but oh well. If he loses the election, and he will, McNasty can always audition to be a KISS guitarist. This is supposed to be an animated gif that makes him play guitar when you click on it, but Blogger screwed it up as usual.Actually, folks, this is a photo of McCain reacting to almost falling off the stage after the last debate.

East Germans Getting Nostalgic For Socialism
2008-10-19 03:08:00
Although there were reportedly some serious problems with East German socialism (the Trabant, the ubiquitous vehicle, was a piece of junk), with the recent chaos in world capitalism, many East Germans are now saying that they would rather have socialism than capitalism. A recent survey found that 53% felt that the free market was "unsuitable" and 43% said that they wanted a socialist system rather than a capitalist one.Sales of Marx's Das Kapital have tripled since last year and increased 100X since 1990, although sales as a whole remain low. The publisher expressed amazement and said that he never thought the book would sell well again. He said that even bankers and managers are reading it to try to figure out what's going in with the turmoil in capitalist economics.The switch from socialism to capitalism has not worked out very well in the East. Unemployment and poverty are very high. The outskirts of Berlin, Leipzig and the Baltic shore and doing well, but the rest of the regio...

MILF Insurgency Hotting Up in the Philippines
2008-10-19 02:50:00
A Muslim insurgency in Mindanao in the Philippines have been hotting up very much in the past week. I was under the impression that there was a cease-fire ongoing.The MILF is a large and powerful army of Muslim separatists in Mindanao. They are well-armed and well-funded and have lots of support. Fighting in the past week left 32 dead. 100's have been killed since fighting started up again in August. This shows that the MILF insurgency is unfortunately a lot hotter than the NPA insurgency.This interesting piece shows that although two insurgencies (MILF and NPA) rage across the land, most Filipinos in Manila could pretty much care less. The insurgencies happen in rural areas that are far removed from Manila and don't have any real or important effect on their lives.The piece also shows how dangerous it is to have some money and live in the Philippines. Kidnapping gangs roam Manila and most of the rich have bodyguards.I don't have time to go into the dynamics of the MILF insurgenc...

New Maoist Group in Bhutan
2008-10-18 14:29:00
A pretty interesting new development in Bhutan - a new Maoist group has formed, with links to Maoists in Nepal and India. It's been growing in the refugee camps of Bhutanese refugees for some time now. They've been threatening to start a people's war in Bhutan for some time now. I think the real goal here is just that they want to go back to Bhutan.It has its roots in the expulsion of 100,000 Bhutanese of Nepali origin who have been living in Bhutan for over 100 years. They tend to live in the lowlands and resemble Indians. The people in the uplands tend to look more Asian.Bhutan has traditionally been a horribly backwards country with some of the worst health and social figures on Earth. The monarchy has instituted a campaign to improve education and health care in the nation and seems to have done a pretty good job of it.There was no reason except sheer racism for the expulsion of the Nepali-Bhutanese from Bhutan in the early 1990's. At that time, they made up a majority of th...

The Origin of the Amerindians
2008-10-18 14:10:00
The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Updated October 18. I am republishing this post because I added a lot of new photos and text. Enjoy.As we noted in an earlier post, the view is converging that Amerindians can be traced back to the Altai Mountains in Southwest Siberia where China, Mongolia and Russia all come together.Yet another study found that of all Asians , the Turkic-speaking tribes of the Sayan Mountains (west of the Altai Mountains and north of northwestern Mongolia) are the closest to the Amerindians. This group includes the Shor, the Tofalar, the Altai, the Khakass, the Soyots and the Tuva. The Mongolic-speaking Buryats are also included.The Altai live in the Sayan Uplands. The Soyots and the Buryats are from the Eastern Sayan Mountains. The Shor and the Khakass are from the northwest slopes of the Sayans. The Tofalar are from the northern slopes of the Eastern Sayans...

Illegals AreTaking Off In California
2008-10-18 10:22:00
Never thought it would happen.My evidence is strictly anecdotal, but my Mom works at a local community college in Oakhurst, California , and there is a woman from MALCO who comes in to run the English tutoring of the Spanish-speakers in town. The MALCO woman said "a lot of the Spanish-speakers are leaving town."That means they are leaving Oakhurst, a small, mostly-White working class town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. They only moved here in any significant numbers since about 2003 or so. Since then, more and more have been moving in. But now they are leaving, and the MALCO woman gave the reason as the economy.Headed where? Who knows? Hopefully out of the damn country.*For those of you not hip, in California, a "Spanish speaker" (who speaks little if any English) is generally an illegal alien. Not always, but usually. They can also be legal immigrants, but I have noticed that Hispanic legal immigrants tend to speak English much better than the illegals. In addition, the Hisp...

Jews Don't Run the Banks Anymore
2008-10-17 06:31:00
The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Updated October 17:For Chrissake people, even David Duke says the Jews don't run the banks anymore. What more of an authority do you need?Unfortunately, anti-Semitismphobia (irrational fear of anti-Semitism) has kept scholars from researching this question. I've done some research on my own. Jews largely ran the banking system of Europe from the late 1800's into the 1900's. Their dominance of this profession seems to have come to an end in the 1930's and 1940's. I guess that means that they got taken out by the Holocaust.According to Henry Ford's The International Jew, Jews made a run for US investment banking and consumer banking in the early part of the 1900's in the US. Ford describes how Jews during this time made a play for investment banking in the US. They worked together to try to buy up as many investment banks as they could f...

The "School Vouchers" Bullshit

The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Updated October 16:McCain 's going on and on about school vouchers in the debate right now. It's a scam, a Republican scam. What's it all about? A lot of Republicans are rich. They send their kids to private schools. Even Republicans who aren't rich, still try to send their kids to private schools.Only rich Americans, or those who really dig deep into their pockets, can afford to send their kids to private schools. It's a luxury. Ordinary Americans living sensibly within their means just can't afford it. So these rich people want the state to pay for them to send their kids to private schools, instead of paying for it out of their own pocket! What a joke!The fact is that public schools in a lot of places in our country (perhaps not coincidentally, in areas with large Black and/or Hispanic schools) are not in very good shape.

Price of Oil Related to Supply and Demand?
2008-10-16 03:52:00
The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.We have been over this and over this on this blog, but I thought I would toss this out.The price of oil has collapsed recently from over $120/barrel to around $80/barrel. Wow!Did that have anything to do with supply and demand? Are you kidding? Of course not. What happened? Speculative money poured out of commodities such as oil and back into ultra-safe investments like money markets and bonds. Supply didn't go up by one barrel. Demand hardly decreased at all. Supply and demand hardly has jack to do with oil and gas prices anymore.It's important to note this because McPalin's whole agenda is Drill drill drill! Why? It's all based on the appealing lie that oil and gas prices anymore have the remotest relationship to either supply or demand. Since the prices of most other items are supply-demand related, and your average American idiocrat ha...

The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.I have some real problems with the tone of the questions in these debates.Over and over (Who picks these questions, anyway?), Tom Brokaw, Bob Schieffer and even Gwen Ifill, asked over and over and over and over, "How are you going to cut spending?! Your proposals are going to increase the deficit! How are you going to balance the budget?!" Over and over and over and over. So much over and over, that it makes me really wonder where these "moderators" are coming from.Putting the debate over small and large government, increasing taxes and cutting them, etc, aside for a moment, in the middle of a recession, you need to increase government spending! If you don't, you risk turning a recession into a depression.To the extent that economics has laws, that is for all purposes a law.

Long-Dead Critters Resurrect Themselves

Always great to report news of critters rising from the dead.Debbie Martyr is a woman who has been working for some time in and around Kerinci-Seblat National Park in Sumatra, trying to come up with evidence for the Orang-Pendek, a new species of ape. While doing this, she came across evidence of the Sumatran muntjac, last seen in 1930 and long since declared extinct. It was captured in a hunter's snare. Muntjacs are known as "barking deer" but I don't know much about them otherwise.A Sumatran muntjac, thought extinct for 78 years, rediscovered in a national park in Sumatra.

Sendero Raids a Town in Ayahuanco

Why I Got Back Into Christianity
2008-10-14 00:44:00
Kind of a long story, but I was associating with a lot of radical Arabs, mostly Palestinians. They all had a religion, even though a lot of them were Leftists. I thought that was really interesting. It was religion as identity. I got really interested in the Arab Christians. They seemed to take all of the good out of Christianity and none of the bad.Like Catholics, they never talked religion, but they did believe. It seemed like more of an identity thing than anything else. Everyone was either a Muslim, a Christian, a Jew, or a Yezidi, a Druze, an Alawite, or some kind of religion. Everyone had a religion! I thought that was actually kind of cool. Religion as identity - like ethnicity.Yeah, I did see Gibson's movie and read a book called The Case For Jesus which offers an empirical basis for the New Testament. But I was heading there anyway. But difference does it really make, in any important way, if I believe? Or if I don't believe? What are the real, hard and fast consequences?...

James Flynn on America
2008-10-13 10:31:00
James Flynn is an Emeritus Professor of Political Studies at the University of Otago in New Zealand. He has also done a lot of work on the Flynn Effect, which shows IQ's rising all over the world in the past 80 years for unknown reasons. We've written about at a lot on this blog. Click the Flynn Effect category at the end to read up.For reasons that remain unknown to me, White nationalists (almost all of whom are just White racists really) are driven into a frenzy by the mention of Flynn's name. I find this very mystifying.First of all, White racists insist that Blacks are defective, and present a lot of evidence indicating that Blacks as a group do have a lot of problems and that this group does do a disproportionate amount of damage to society. All of this is noncontroversial to anyone whose brain has not been turned to mush by political correctness.Low IQ is frequently cited by White racists as one of the reasons for Black dysfunction and the resulting serious problems inflict...

Some Remarks on the Minority Languages Question
2008-10-12 08:53:00
The recent posts on minority languages have elicited some interesting comments. Commenting on The Record of Communist Language Policy, silver, a Serb, notes: In Eastern Europe, a similar thing occurred with the fall of the Communist regimes. In general, nationalist regimes took their place and quickly began attacking minorities and minority tongues. This has been most pronounced in the former Yugoslavia.I'm not aware of Serbian nationalists attempting to suppress Hungarian or Albanian. Even throughout the supposedly nationalist Milosevic era I think Hungarians were able to graduate university in Hungarian (and, of course, Albanian in Kosovo). I'm pretty sure Albanian has fared better in Macedonia under independence than during Yugoslavia; little-known Vlach certainly has. A new poster, A Jew Coming to Get You, who will be tolerated as long as he behaves, notes: A relevant book discussing Soviet nationality policy is called Affirmative Action Empire.

Hurricane Neoliberal Wrecks Iceland

Updated October 12:Iceland is about to go bankrupt. Moral to the story: the more a nation swallowed the neoliberal poison, the more fucked the are. The more sensible and socialist they were, the safer they are.As I said before, if anything comes out of this world economic collapse we are presently experiencing, it is that neoliberalism should be buried for once and forever with a stake through its heart. That's not going to happen, but it should.Since 1980, the entire world has been aswoon with something called neoliberalism. Started by Milton Friedman at the University of Chicago, it quickly become championed by both US political parties, almost the entire US corporate media - newspapers, magazines, TV and radio - and almost every single economics department at every US university. An entire generation of economists was graduated with a sole idea in his head.Neoliberalism was tried for decades in Latin America. Or, actually, it was forced down their throats at gunpoint. It failed ...
