Hopenhagen: Church Services for the Whiteysphere or Just Another Wall Street Scam?

So who will win in the end? Who else but Wall Street, if a mandatory carbon-trading system designed to "save the planet" ever sees the light of day. Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley would make an absolute killing on a carbon trading market revolving around derivatives.

Be ready for a deluge of derivatives contracts and carbon-related financial products. Wall Street will attract key investors from hedge funds and pension funds - as it has already spent a fortune hiring lobbyists and making deals with companies that can supply "carbon offsets" to be sold to clients. Speculators will have a ball. Wall Street banks are bound to turn climate change into a new commodities market - and sell it as an investment product. Everyone has seen this movie before, but what the hell; welcome to the new trillion-dollar bubble - the still virtual carbon "cap and trade" market.

Obama's Afghanistan Strategy is a "Game-Changer"

by: donkeytale

Mon Dec 07, 2009 at 14:38:26 PM EST

Except, of course, for the Gilligan's Island failed state of Iran and the failed deserted island state of mind better known as the virtual "Left".

One more time, answering the musical fruit qwestian of the whiteysphere: "How is Obama any different than Bush?" And still, the willfully blind will not see.

M.K. Badhrakumar, Asia Times, today:

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/S...

The new Afghan strategy announced by United States President Barack Obama last Tuesday is a game-changer in regional politics across a broad swathe of the international system. The reactions in capitals as far removed as Beijing, Tehran, New Delhi and Moscow amply bear this out.

Broadly speaking, just about everyone understands that the US surge of 30,000 additional troops in Afghanistan is a passing necessity.....

Quintessentially, it is the first dazzling display of "smart power" that the Obama administration promised the world audience when it assumed office in January.

Here are the sour grapes straight from the Mullahs' mouth, as they too now see that they have been pwned:

A solitary exception is Iran, which is appalled that Obama is contemplating the stabilization of Afghanistan without caring for Tehran's helping hand. The Obama strategy would have serious implications for the Iran nuclear issue as Washington will be in a better position now to steer the United Nations (UN) Security Council to adopt severe sanctions against Tehran over its uranium-enrichment program.....

There is a degree of concern palpable in Tehran. The venerable Shi'ite Source of Emulation, Grand Ayatollah Nasser Makarem-Shirazi, hit out at Russia and China publicly as rank opportunists. Tacitly referring to the two countries, Shirazi said, "They are not our friends; they are the friends of their own interests. Wherever their interests lie is where they will be."  

Boo-fucking-hoo, loooosers....about time to round up the women and children for some more diversionary torture/rape prison games, isnt it? Maybe serious enough to hang a few adulterers and queers, too, just to help take the edge off yur defeat?

Finally, to add insult atop humiliation, Badhrakumar pinpoints with laser-like precision the "left behindness" of the typikkkal miscomprehension of Obama's arrangement of chess pieces on a complicated board:

Ironically, it is not only the innocents abroad but a large corpus of Americans at home, who are struggling to catch up with the seamless possibilities of Obama's new thinking about the exercise of US hard and soft power and the alchemy of its mix in varying circumstances.

Chess is a game where the looooser doesn't understand the ramifications of the opponents moves until its too late.

PWN'D!

Final House Health Reform Bill Introduced; Appears to have the Votes

by: donkeytale

Thu Oct 29, 2009 at 19:01:10 PM EDT

http://www.washingtonpost.com/...

The only apparent rifts remaining to be healed in the House are in the form of yet another tired attempt to include federal funding for first trimester abortion by liberal lawmakers whose twisted priorities will assure evermore grumbling and bellyaching by pwoggie fantasists for another three decades or so, and the typikkkally meanspirited attempt by some pwoggies and knuckledraggers alike to make absolutely damn sure that illegal immigrants die quickly without health coverage in exchange for doing all of our dirty work for $60 por dia plus lunch.

Failreft Supports the Return of Taliban Rule

by: donkeytale

Wed Oct 28, 2009 at 11:11:55 AM EDT

{failreft}The war was more or less over till we invaded in 2001. When the Pashtun are in power there's equilibrium. It would be nice if the next Pashtun government weren't the Taliban, but the price Afghanistan and the U.S. would have to pay for that 'would be nice' is far too high. Okay, the puppets and their hangers on in Kabul disagree and are scared, big surprise. Probably the new Taliban will be, essentially, a Pashtun nationalist group and will have lightened up on the backwards religion.

{donkeytailsucker}Nice, thanks for the publicity as usual, but also as usual, yur facts/context are whack.

1. I posted Hoh's comment and the link to the story yesterday, uhhhh at 8:55 AM CST, well before you posted this dairy [ed. note: failreft's latest attempt at self vindication entitled "Hoh ejacates donkeytao on Afghanistan"]

http://www.pffugeecamp.com/sho...

2. I'm in agreement that the US should leave Afganistan but I disagree with you that we should simply bolt and allow the Taliban/warlords to return to unfettered nationwide power. As I stated previously, The UN needs to intercede and prevent yet another failed Islamic state convulsed with civil war between competing warlords. Actually, code pink has a pretty good plan. And its consistent with anti-war principles. OTOH, yur principles are consistent with Neville Chamberlain's.

http://www.pffugeecamp.com/sho...

3. You say the Taliban return to power will probably include a softening of their previously most extreme Islamism on the face of the Earth. This is debatable, as well as unproveable beforehand, and in any event is like saying the 3rd rung of Hell is preferable to the the 4th rung of Hell, or wtf.

But lets assume that you are correct. The US leaves, the Taliban returns to power (hopefully without another few decades of civil war first) and they "lighten up" and allow a moderate muslim society to fluorish.

Doesn't that indicate this progression from most heinous regime on earth to moderation was caused directly by the US invasion deposing them in the first place? In other words, wouldn't that make the US invasion a success from a humanistic standpoint?

{failreft}You're just like Nixon in Vietnam or McCain and Code Pink now. Everyone wants to leave, but they just can't cuz blood-curdling hell will break out when we leave. But we are teh blood-curdling hell.
The Taliban ruling, whatever their nature, is better than what Afghanistan has now, with the exception of the warlord elite and their clans, who Code Pink bonded in Kabul. Those are the only people who'll be able to vote in the run-off election, too. It's not your country or mine, it's not our culture or our values. We should butt out and let Afghanistan be a sovereign country.

Much worse than the Taliban, we in the U.S. are fucking destroying the planet with our global warming shit, but even so I don't think the rest of the world should be allowed to launch a murderous military invasion to stop us.

{RAWA}Some of the restrictions imposed by Taliban on women in Afghanistan

The following list offers only an abbreviated glimpse of the hellish lives Afghan women are forced to lead under the Taliban, and can not begin to reflect the depth of female deprivations and sufferings. Taliban treat women worse than they treat animals. In fact, even as Taliban declare the keeping of caged birds and animals illegal, they imprison Afghan women within the four walls of their own houses. Women have no importance in Taliban eyes unless they are occupied producing children, satisfying male sexual needs or attending to the drudgery of daily housework. Jehadi fundamentalists such as Gulbaddin, Rabbani, Masood, Sayyaf, Khalili, Akbari, Mazari and their co-criminal Dostum have committed the most treacherous and filthy crimes against Afghan women. And as more areas come under Taliban control, even if the number of rapes and murders perpetrated against women falls, Taliban restrictions --comparable to those from the middle ages-- will continue to kill the spirit of our people while depriving them of a humane existence. We consider Taliban more treacherous and ignorant than Jehadis. According to our people, "Jehadis were killing us with guns and swords but Taliban are killing us with cotton."

Keeping Score in a Post-ideological World

In fact, I would say that Clinton's was a consolidation regime much moreso even than Bush Sr. following Reagan, simply because Clinton's first two "gung ho" years, marked by failure to enact his progressive 1992 campaign agenda, led to the 1994 congressional elections which solidified the Republikkkan right's influence in the federal governing apparatus even without Whitewash House control, power heretofore held by only liberal dems back in a distant pre-Reagan past.  

My Left Tit in a Wringer

Ok, Ok, so I had a little fun with the Ladeez yesterday, after Lorraine posted another in an ongoing MLW series of distaff whine fests regarding the ever-present "threat" to abortion wrights, this one superbly entitled "Am I not a Person," about the heavyhanded prohibition of federal funding for abortion in the current healthcare reform language.

The last time the galz got on their victim schtick was around the time Obama stated in the 2008 campaign something to the effect that, y'know, abortion is a complicated issue and certainly no one should feel good about the forced termination of a pregnancy, or wtf he said. I believe he was in Nebraska or Kansas when he made the comments, and most likely responded delicately to a loaded qwestian from local media, so he could, y'know, slip out of town ahead of the vigilantes forever on the lookout for all of the abortion-loving Islamofascist, Satanic, communist N*gger Muslims in their midst...

Of course, those few words immediately lit a bonbon fire in the imaginations of these immensely, not to mention heinously, victimized upper mittle class whiteysphere chicks, who trotted out the same schtick as a few years earlier when John Boberts and Samuel Cabrito were nominated by Bush to SCOTUS.

We must remain vigilant! [fill in blank] wants to outlaw abortion!

Wasn't that "chess match" excitin', volks?

[triple-play sports mixed metafur alert]

The game was played in heavy mud for the better part of a fucking year while 45 million Amerikkkans sat in the stands disconnected from their IVs, as many as an extra two hundred forty five thousand (correction courtesy of the Hon. US Rep. "Let em die!!" D-Fla) of them dying needlessly due to delay of game, while the juniour varsity playas out of the small schools like Montana State, North Dakota State and the U of Maine, played with themsleves.

At the end, Snowe fell lightly to the Demotardic side of the field while I fell asleep on teh sofa, as per usual, well before the game ended. I may no longer be able to afford health insurance but I got me some goooood weeeeed, which ironically, I can no longer afford either.

Now that the SFC conference championship is out of the way, it's bowl season, so smoke that bowl, sit back and watch to see if the Pwogs can defeat the Blue Dogs in the Mother of all Intramural Mud Wrasslin' matches.

Top Ten Reasons to Allow the "Invasion of the Zionist Site Spammers" at Pffugly Kkkamp

8. Stu Piddy is Howie Schwartz.  

7. Man, that spammer dude is pffugly. How pffugly is he? He got hired without audition for the remake of "Planet of the Apes" simply based on make-up cost savings alone.

6. MLW apparently is the only pwoggie soapblox site not being spammed by these zionazis. Hmmm, wonder why MSOC gets a free pass.....

Small world of death. Later we would find out that many of the Manson harem were middle class kids from nearby Arcadia and Pasadena, nice girls from good homes. One of the killer dudes was a well known session musician in LA. Manson himslef had cut an album. It came out a few months after the murders. It sucked.

How could this happen?

One cannot overstate the feeling of a world ending in those days. 1969. Insanity sociopathic drug induced summer of no love. Helter Skelter. Death to piggies. Air so heavily polluted by leaded gas that you could cut it with a knife and eat it for dinner. Unrelenting bad news from Southeast Asia. Uncle Sam wants you, too!

Morning after I went to work with my dad, we had a gig at a doctor's house in Hidden Hills, a gated community located in the west end of the Valley. It was a two hour drive through rush hour traffic downtown. I sat reading the Times, getting slightly car sick but unable to put it down. Security was heightened. We had to get out of the truck and let the pigs search the back before theyd let us pass through the gate.

Houston Rollett lived a half mile or so from my parents' house. Rollett was a recent arrival from the projects of East St. Louis. His family, like so many others back in the day, had been lured west by the sunshine, the Hollywood movies, the beach, the mountains, the desert and the easy terms on the food stamps and welfare checks, which were decidedly more generous in the golden state than in more godforsaken places like Illinois or Missouri, or wtf.

Rollett's step dad even found a job, with the phone company no less, and the family was able to move out of the two room rented airstream hard by the freeway trailer park on Garvey, and into a rented two bedroom crackerbox in my northside neighbourhood.

Totalitarianism in the Era of the Infoboobtubez

by: donkeytale

Sat Aug 15, 2009 at 11:41:27 AM EDT

Possibly, and yet the internet binds us in multiple new prisons of our own choosing, making it easier to identify us as consumers in ready-made subdivided categories to the marketers who have long since created/controlled our desires and dreams in the garish material world of modern capitalism.

No wonder advertising rates are down....the products are no longer required to hunt for us. We are captured.

Caught in an invisible web, which differs from the 1940s only in that today we are connected by the newly improved media technology as "users", more tightly bound than ever, we're less likely than ever to create anything new or different to challenge the hard wired totalitarianism inherent in the infoboobtubez era.

The internet revolutionized global capitalism and yet all we hear is the forever delusional attempt to convince ourselves that the internet is a tool for human freedom, when in fact the internet simply adds a more efficient, invisible lock on the jail cell of mass conformity than radio, TV or movies ever could, albeit through sub categorization of the masses into non-dialectically-minded-conformists-within-the-subgroup.

All brought to us in living colour within the safety of our delusions by the Global Infotainment Industry.

The State of the Left Behind, circa 2009

Their collective work found its first major expression in the first edition of their book "Dialectic of Enlightenment" (Dialektik der Aufklärung) in 1947. Faced with the unfolding events of the Holocaust, the work begins with the words:

'In the most general sense of progressive thought, the Enlightenment has always aimed at liberating men from fear and establishing their sovereignty. Yet the fully enlightened earth radiates disaster triumphant.'

In this book, which was virtually ignored until republished in 1969, Adorno and Horkheimer posit a dynamic within civilization that tends towards self-destruction. They argue that the concept of reason was transformed into an irrational force by the Enlightenment. As a consequence, reason came to dominate not only nature, but also humanity itself. It is this rationalization of humanity that was identified as the primary cause of Fascism and other totalitarian regimes. Consequently, Adorno did not consider rationalism a path towards human emancipation.
