Barak Hussein Obama: Consensus Illusions Versus Dangerous Documented History

I friend of mine wrote this impressive fact-checking covering all aspects of Obama's hidden (by the media) agenda.

It deserves to be published and spread around.

Barak Hussein Obama: Consensus Illusions Versus Dangerous Documented History

by James DeMeo, Ph.D.



The articles below, and the documentary weblinks, raise serious questions about the favorite candidate for US President, Barak Hussein Obama. I assembled this material only after observing what a terrible job the mainstream news media (MSM) was doing in regards to investigating the background and activities of Obama. I believe this is due to a shared radical-left and Islamist agenda on the part of this same news media, something which appeared in American society after around 1960, making a slow penetration into news media and the academic world, and intensifying as the USA began to seriously confront the problem of Islamic terrorism.

In this discussion, I will steer clear of policy matters, like health care, economy and so on. I have my own opinions on that, but the issues presented here are more substantial, having to do with lies, dirty-tricks and deception by Obama and his cadres of supporters, and by those who are manipulating his candidacy, and his person, from behind the scenes. Personally I feel Hillary Clinton would have been the better candidate for the Democratic Party, and while like McCain-Palin, she is a flawed character, I do believe in the main there is no larger hidden agenda with any of the other candidates, as what is now documented with Obama.

Another issue implicitly raised in this essay is the added MSM deception and covering-up for what appears to be a terribly radical agenda, an agenda filled with hatred towards mainstream America, and Americans, which in my opinion puts the nation and its existing freedoms at risk. One also should be aware, that many or all of the internet "fact-checker" websites are pretty much shilling for Obama, delivering a message that mirrors what the Obama campaign puts out, and basically restating their message that any strong criticism of him is "a lie", no matter what the evidence. A websearch on this topic alone will produce many examples and critiques of sites such as "snopes.com", a favorite watering-hole for committed Obama supporters.

Once before in American history we got close to having a closeted Communist Party agent gain the presidency, in the person of Henry A. Wallace, the running mate to Franklin Roosevelt during his last term. His own radical agendas exposed him before he could gain power, however, and he was replaced by Harry Truman, who later became President when Roosevelt died. As noted below, Obama was once a member of a Socialist party offshoot of the American Communist Party, something he denies, but which was fully exposed about, and the evidence against him has grown and grown to the point where I find it impossible to merely sit by quietly, watching as so many people behave like Lemmings headed over a cliff. The newspapers are fully silent on these matters, ignoring the evidence even as they ridicule people who dare to present it. I've kept silent on this until today, assembling some of the major points at issue. They are current, and accurate, and each item I reference below, and also in the appended list of weblinks, has its own additional referential weblinks. It is stunning material, and the interested reader who is new to this material will want to follow-up on the references, where more detail is available. Especially Europeans will find this material of interest, because the blackout of facts about Obama is particularly stunning overseas. If he loses the election -- and he may well lose in spite of some potentially manufactured and heavily biased poll data -- then what is give below is the reason why. If he wins, then past behavior predicts future behavior, and we will probably see major social explosions as the enemies of freedom around the world will have properly seen the new American President as being in alliance with their agendas.


Obama's Friendship with, and Support To Raila Odinga, a Marxist, Islam-Friendly African Tyrant

The worst of Mr. Obama's background issues, which has almost totally be concealed by the MSM, or deliberately spun to put a smiley-face on it, is the Odinga affair, as noted below, where Obama went to Kenya in 2006 and openly supported a brutal fanatic who was a distant cousin from his Luo Tribe. Obama made public appearances and speeches on his behalf, trying to help the Marxist Odinga (who attended an East German university and named his son after Fidel Castro) to get elected, basically interfering with the Kenyan election to the point that the Kenyan government made a public statement calling Obama a "stooge for Odinga" and telling him to basically "keep out" of their electoral process. Obama had not only spoken in favor of Odinga, but also heaped scorn on the democratically-elected government of Kenya, stating "The [Kenyan] people have to suffer over corruption perpetrated by government officials... Kenyans are now yearning for change".

YouTube carries some of these Obama speeches in Kenya. Here is one which details the clearly Red Fascist background of Odinga, who surely could never be mistaken for anything but a brutal communist thug seeking power by any means. Obama nevertheless supported him, and even raised $1 million for his campaign. After that election, Kenyans got "change", but not what they expected. It became public, for example, that Odinga had signed a "Memorandum of Understanding" (MOU) with Kenyan Islamic groups, that once elected he would use his influence to institute Islamic Sharia Law across Kenya, suppressing all other religions, and bringing the veil, banishment of alcohol and pork, and other strict Islamic measures. This revelation came when one of the Mullahs in on the betrayal of freedom held a press conference, happily announcing the previously secret deal. They were angry that they could not, under the Kenyan Constitution, simply invoke Sharia Law, and also angry that Muslims had been arrested in Kenya for terrorist acts -- as with the bombing of the US Embassy in Kenya, the bombing of a hotel in Nairobi frequented by Israeli tourists, and an attempt to shoot down an El Al civilian jet plane with a missile. Muslim jihad violence has been on a steady increase across East Africa.

Odinga signed the MOU to get the Muslim vote, but it did not help, and he lost the election by several hundred thousand votes. Within hours of the election results, Odinga called for his supporters to engage in street protests, which predictably degenerated into street riots. Muslim and Luo sects attacked the opposition party supporters, notably those of the Kikuyu tribe, with machetes and torches, hacking people to death and burning over 500 churches, including one with 50 Christian women and children deliberately locked inside, burning them to death. The mobs destroyed and looted homes and businesses, and murdered around 1000 people while hundreds of thousands fled from their homes and subsequently live as refugees. Worse, Odinga continued to push for sharing of power, in spite of losing the election, and in spite of the massive slaughter and violence of his followers.

In a forced "peace deal" brokered by the ineffectual team of former UN President Kofi Anan and US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, both of whom have been exceptionally Islam-friendly during their tenures, Obama's buddy-cousin Odinga was rewarded for his butchery with the Prime Minister's Office in Kenya, basically for agreeing to stop the killing. He shot his way into power after losing the election, and got an approving pat on the back from the UN and Bush people, a stunning situation which basically overthrows Kenyan democracy. Odinga denies he has interests to promote Sharia Law, and there are various claims made of phoney documents being circulated by Odinga's enemies. But too much of the events were captured on videotape, and whereas at one point the Memorandum of Understanding was a major issue, the bigger one which everyone apologetic about Odinga ignores -- and it is being ignored for the sake of one Barak Hussein Obama -- is the mass-murder which took place on the streets of Kenyan cities after Odinga lost, and then openly called for his supporters to make trouble. But it gets worse.

One Obama-critical author, Dr. Jerome Corsi, recently traveled to Kenya and obtained documentation of the on-going Odinga-Obama relationship, showing that Obama continued to have on-going email contacts with Odinga, giving him advice from his Senate office in Washington DC. Additional information was obtained indicating that Obama had donated $950,000 to the Odinga election campaign, a sum even greater than what was given to Odinga from Libyan dictator and terrorist Mohamar Gaddafi. Corsi planned a press conference in Kenya, to expose this explosive material, but it was disrupted when Kenyan government officials carrying machine-guns abducted him just before it was to start, and kept him incognito for a day before his release was obtained by bribing the officials. He was told "See you in Hell" by the Kenyan guards, just before getting on a jet back to London. Corsi is hated by the Obama camp, as his book "The Obama Nation" exposes very much of the same material contained in this essay, with much greater detail, and it has become a best-seller. While a small number of peripheral points in Corsi's book have been refuted by the Obama camp, the bulk of it remains unchallenged, and remains a shocking testament to how badly the US news media has abandoned its responsibilities to seriously review and check-out such a top-candidate for Office of the President, in efforts to get elected someone who so nicely matches their very liberal biases about "what the country needs".


Obama's Troops: ACORN Partners Stuffing Ballot Boxes, Crushing Free Speech

The second worst point of MSM silence is Obama's long association with the radical-left ACORN group of "community organizers" whose major "organizing" effort seems to be instigating massive voter fraud and socialist re-education schemes. They "organize" neighborhood meetings and stir up attitudes of victimization and hatred of white Americans among the disaffected youth and inner-city black poor, in a manner reminiscent of the Rev. Wright's violently screaming sermons (which Obama and his wife slept through, and never heard, over 20 years) about "God Damn America" and "the US of KKKA", "AIDS was Invented to Kill Black People", "911 Was an Inside Job", etc. ACORN is now under criminal investigations in 11 different states for untold thousands of phoney and illegal voter registrations, such as registering massive numbers of illegal aliens, convicted felons and prisoners, homeless people from shelters, people in adjacent states, and dead people to vote in what appears to be a well-planned effort to steal the elections in states where slim margins separate the candidates. The situation of voter fraud is shaping up to be far worse than anything seen during the Bush-Gore election, and in this case it is all deliberated and calculated -- and all working to skew the results in favor of Obama.

Obama's campaign gave ACORN at least $800,000 which seems like a pay-off to stuff the ballot boxes in his favor. The Obama campaign says, this is "much ado about nothing", that Obama has not "really" worked with ACORN, in spite of documentation clearly showing a long-time relationship. Again, little or nothing of this has appeared in the MSM, except to denounce as "fear-mongers" or "racists" anyone who dares to bring up the subject. But the extent of the voter fraud perpetrated by ACORN is today so widespread and extensive, so endangering of the upcoming elections, that the problem cannot be simply ignored -- even the MSM is finally taking note, and reporting on it, though to my knowledge without much discussion of Obama's funding or connections.

From Hillary backers, we have reports of Obama's "get out the vote" campaigns working with ACORN tostuff ballot boxes, and even bring in bus-loads of Obama supporters across state lines to illegally vote in caucus primary elections. By such dirty-tricks and illegal tactics, Obama managed to wrestle victories in regions which by all other indications were fully behind Hillary. These facts also did not get out into the MSM, but help us to understand the outrage and fury of so many Hillary supporters.

We are seeing other dirty-tricks being performed by the Obama devotees, as when they attacked a radio station for daring to interview an author critical of Obama. Or when Obama's legal team threatened lawsuits against TV stations which dared to run factual ads exposing his checkered background and activities. The most recent outrage along these lines is, that Team Obama have somehow got the ear of the top brass at Google, suppressing Google Sponsored Ads which are critical of Obama, and instead showing only the ads which link to his own websites, emphasizing his nominally Christian credentials. Try it yourself with a Google search for "Obama's Muslim Background" The only sponsored ads which appear will link to the Obama website. All others, formerly present, are today gone. Presumably they would like to have the larger Google Search itself suppress the critical information, and yield only the Obama-friendly websites. In another notable case, Obama campaign workers made false accusations of death-threats against Obama, claiming people who were critical of his policy issues and deceptions had made threats, with the goal of having those persons investigated by the FBI, and thereby silenced. Obama supporters have also recently threatened violent riots, or even a "race war" if Obama does not win. But it also seems similar riots might occur if he wins. Overall it gives the impression of a distressing turn towards criminal fanaticism within the Obama camp, in a manner more typically associated with supporters of dictators like Chavez or Mugabe. But, then, didn't Obama say he would be happy to meet with such thugs? Is this because of some new approach to American foreign policy, as he claims, or more because those are just "his kind of guy"?
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/08/26/fighting-back-against-obamas-thugs/

Is this the "change" Obama has in store for America? A liberal thugocracy? Like when liberal Google partnered with Communist China to block websites critical of Communist Party thuggery and genocide, and inform on dissident bloggers so the Chi-Coms could put them into prison? Nancy Pelosi has already indicated that, with Obama as President, and with a Democratic Party majority in both houses of Congress, she will swiftly move on the "Fairness Doctrine" legislation, an Orwellian bill that would have government bureaucrats spy on who says what on television, radio, and internet, thereafter forcing "opposing views" to be given. This won't happen on the liberal TV news, such as ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN or BBC, as the law is structured only to attack conservative voices, as found on talk-radio. We might also see, for similar reasons, an approval of "hate speech" legislation against making open criticisms of Islam, something the UN and many liberal-left Democratic Party people have felt was a good thing. Canada already has such a law, and their "Human Rights Council" has dragged authors and publishers before its Star Chamber to demand subordination to State Power on who can say what. It had a chilling effect upon other authors and publishers, who now routinely must ask, what will clear the Left-Wing and Islamic Censor's Office. This article might be forbidden under such legislation, for example.


Obama's Socialist Terrorist Friends

The picture gets even more bleak when considering Obama's relations to various other America-haters, black racists, and even confessed and unrepentant Weather Underground terror bombers and murderers like Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn with whom Obama (and his wife Michelle) had a very long and intimate relationship. These are not casual acquaintances, as the Obamas claim. Most people will today know about the Reverend Wright of Obama's Trinity Church in Chicago, an evil man whose career is founded upon hatred of white people and Jews. His church even printed copies of the Hamas Charter calling for the destruction of Israel. Wright and Farrakhan made a widely-published junket trip to Libya, amid an atmosphere of America-hatred. A simple YouTube search of "Rev. Wright" will pull up a ton of his "greatest video clips" which were sold openly in the lobby of that church (a few notable ones are posted below), available right next to the free Trinity-Hamas Newsletter... but of course the Obamas "knew nothing about it", even though B.H. Obama dedicated his book to Wright and Wright married the radical couple.

But as with Wright, Odinga and ACORN, Obama downplays or outright lies about his even more alarming relationships to Ayers and Dorn, calling Ayers "just a guy in the neighborhood" when in fact they shared time on foundation boards, exchanged massive amounts of money between the various organizations they ran, and coordinated policy decisions within those foundations -- which also are very Marxist in orientations. Obama basically launched his political career among the hard-left ACORN-Wright people in the Chicago area, at a special private dinner party hosted at the home of Ayers and Dorn. Obama was in working relations with Ayers or Dorn at the time when, shortly after 911, the terror-twins were interviewed and said they wished they only "could have done more" terror-destruction and murder (7 people were killed by their Weather Underground) to destroy America. Their plans at the time included Soviet-style gulag death-camps across the USA, into which they (Ayers, et al) estimated at least 25 million ordinary Americans would be exterminated in order to establish their Socialist Paradise. Ayers and Dorn also wrote a book, while on the run from the law, entitled "Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism" They dedicated the book to Sirhan Sirhan, the man who assassinated Bobby Kennedy. While all that was at the time when Obama was a child, the fact that Ayers republished this book in 2006 (under the new title "Sing a Battle Song"), with the same dedication to a terror-murderer, indicates Ayers had not changed his character or views in the slightest all the way down into the times when he had a lengthy professional relationship with Obama. During the post-911 interview which was widely published, Ayers was photographed wiping his feet on an American flag, openly showing hatred and contempt for the USA. Obama knew Ayers and worked with him over this entire later period. But Obama's lying about Ayers really becomes stunning when one considers that Obama wrote and published a glowing review for one of Ayer's books, and in that book Ayer's mentions Obama favorably, noting that he and Obama, and Louis Farrakhan, all lived within a block of each other in the same Chicago gated-community neighborhood.

Obama's staff and handlers also have made their own meetings with Islamic terror groups such as Hamas, and Jew-hating Saudis like Khalid al-Mansour, who appear to have financed some of Obama's early years. Obama covers up these associations by firing his staff members when they accidentally spill the beans, but he then replaces them with like-minded people, and the same kind of thing quickly happens all over again. He waffles about Israel, declaring greater support for Israel on one day, and greater support for the Palestinians on another. And judging from his own official website, which allows user commentary, Obama seems surrounded by America-haters, Jew haters, and friends of Muslim terrorists. Obama could have stopped all this hate-speech on his website in a heart-beat, but allows it to go on and on. Are these his most loyal base? Is this what he really believes, behind the grinning mask?

It appears so. New evidence recently emerged, that Obama was a member of the Communist-Party offshoot "New Party" in the USA, something which he emphatically denied over many months. However, old copies of the New Party newspaper show Obama prominently, and reveal his lying, that he is or was a member of the New Party -- along with a long list of other America-haters and haters of Americans.


Obama and Rezko, and All The Rest

Then there is Obama's past association with Tony Rezko, the Syrian-born criminal now facing hard prison time and spilling the beans to prosecutors abou the same kind of Chicago-Mob politics which stands behind Obama, the same criminal who helped finance Obama's first election and gave him a "sweet deal" on the purchase of his expensive home. The revelations from that alone would destroy most candidates for high office, but in this case it has again been ignored or downplayed by the Obama-worshiping MSM and the full facts may not emerge until after the elections. More troubling are Rezko's continuing big-money dealings within the Islamic world.

Obama seems to orient himself with Islamic personalities and agendas, even selecting as his own foreign policy advisor the old Jimmy Carter National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, an Israel-hater who more than anyone was responsible for Iran being handed back to the Ayatollah Khomeini, something about which he foresaw "no problem". Millions paid with their lives for that arrogant stupidity. Taken with all the other Obama-Islam connections, the dealings with Rezko hardly seem like a merely "bone-headed" accident, as Obama states.

But in spite of all these well-documented connections and working relationships to a rather large basket of haters, traitors, murderers and criminals, Obama claims he hardly knew any of them, like he was Alice in Wonderland just innocently walking through the forest and accidentally stumbling over them, one after another: Tony Rezko, Odinga, the Rev. Wright, and even the fanatic Jew-hater and black-Muslim fascist Louis Farrakhan. Obama admitted to attending the Farrakhan "Million Man March" in 1995, but did not get around to making any public opinion about Farrakhan until being pressed about it by Hillary Clinton, during the Democratic Primary Debates. He then denounced Farrakhan's Jew-hatred, but he ducks the question if he ever met or knows Farrakhan -- another "guy next door". We do know, that his long-time mentor Rev. "God Damn America" Wright went on a junket trip to Libya with Farrakhan, at a time when Farrakhan was going to collect multi-million-dollar checks from the Libyan dictator and terrorist. Farrakhan recently publicly declared Obama "The Messiah"! And Gaddafi publicly supports Obama, even claiming that Islamic money helps to support him. True or not, we must ask why it is that Obama is supported by every kind and strip of fascist and totalitarian thug on the planet: Chavez, Gaddafi, Hamas, the Palestinian leadership, Ahamedenijad, and so on.

Alice in Wonderland, stumbling onto strange characters? Or perhaps, a Manchurian Candidate who has fully taken the advice of one of his earlier mentors, Saul Alinsky, a communist agitator who hated American democracy and freedoms, and wrote a 1971 book entitled "Rules for Radicals". In this book, Alinsky advised his radical students to cut their hair, dress up in suits and ties, get educations suitable for political power acquisition, and move into the various social institutions of democracy, to usurp them bit by bit towards communist agendas. Alinsky's words are a primer in Mass Psychology, towards a Hard Left takeover of society. His words on creating an illusion of "change" and "hope" sound eerily like the message of the Obama campaign. ACORN is a very big part of this "change" scheming, but is surely not the only such community organization. Which theory is correct? Alice in Wonderland? Or Obama in Alinsky's Manchuria?

The real Barak Hussein Obama -- who did pray at Mosques as a young man and was registered as a Muslim in his Indonesian school records, and who still today can professionally recite the Muslim call to prayer with exacting Arabic inflection (calling it "one of the most beautiful sounds on Earth" in an interview with New York Times reporter Nicholas Kristof, during a rare moment of truth) the denials notwithstanding -- whomever he is, the New and Real Obama slowly emerges from the shadows, and it is not very pretty. It is not what we've been presented with in the Showroom, all spit-and-polished up, shiny under the lights, dressed handsomely for his role in the Grand Political Theatre. His life path is marked by a stunning list of deformed and twisted characters, money criminals, racist-haters, America-haters, social arsonists, democracy-back-stabbers, freedom-destroyers, bomb-throwers and even a mass-murderer. But we aren't supposed to mention any of this. We should keep our mouths shut, because Obama is "The Chosen One" -- he even says it himself, in his own arrogant speeches and commercials, as if some communist apparatchik had studied Mass Psychology, and put it into practice with their top student -- "We Are the Ones We have been Waiting For!" And the crowd swoons.

Taken together, the facts given above suggest the cartoon cover of a recent New Yorker magazine was factually correct, even if it was presented as a means to ridicule the conservatives who dared to raise such questions. It was a very smart disinformation tactic. Hoist up the dirty truth about some questionable character you want to promote, exaggerate it a little bit, then poke fun of that truth as if it were the lies and fantasy of the critics, rendering their criticisms impotent and subject to ridicule. So nearly none of what I mention here, which is well documented in the weblinks referenced in this article (which are only a small representative sample), gets examination or reportage except on a few isolated or conservative news sources. The liberal and left MSM continues to have only horse-laughs about it, or they throw vicious hatred at anyone who challenges Mr. Obama, as if one had challenged a central point of their religious faith. Again, I see the outlines of a very great deception at work, including methods used by the hard-left disinformation agents over decades. This is Big Alice with brass knuckles.

Obama now is posed to have collected more political donation money than any other politician in the History of the World. So much money, over $600 million, that he has outspent McCain-Palin by many times over, even recently purchasing his own TV cable channel, which like the old Soviet channels, will play his propaganda speeches over and over. Much of this money, as much as $63 million, comes from unknown and unnamed foreign donors, in full violation of US election laws. Credit card fraud also afflicts his donor-collection system, which is flooded with undeclared donors the likes of which no American candidate for high office has ever so completely evaded public scrutiny about. But by the time it is all investigated, the elections will be over, and the Obama-compliant news media isn't going to pay attention to it then. Incidentally, the Democratic Party is today the biggest recipient of funds from well-heeled "corporate fat-cats", even while they hurl accusations against the Republicans on this same issue. Some liberals have made note of this, being perplexed about it as it did not validate their expectations.

To close, a recent "buzz" on the internet is, that Republicans are in a "Right-Wing Rage" against Obama, with dangerous violence being exhibited. The evidence on this is some angry statements made by audience members during McCain or Palin speeches, coupled with the willingness of conservatives to address the issues given above. It is true that many conservatives are angry against the Obama candidacy and the MSM cover-up, for these very same reasons. It is an honest and legitimate anger, in my opinion. But that hardly matches the Liberal Rage out there. Michelle Malkin has summarized some of this "Liberal Rage", and it is worth a look, as once again the MSM isn't mentioning much or any of it.

In these last days of the elections, there are so many new findings on dirty-tricks and outright criminal activity on the part of the Obama forces, that it is impossible to keep up with them. None of it appears in the MSM, or if so, the reporters who dare to expose such information are hotly attacked from all sides. But the above should give pause to any rational-thinking person. I've seen efforts by some Obama supporters to make comparable lists of the "crimes" or "malfeasance" of the McCain-Palin ticket, but they are nearly entirely fabrications without substance, or kernels of truth around which larger lies have been layered. I do not wish to say here that McCain-Palin are without problems. As I said in the start, I have my own critical issues with them. But I do think they are basically honest and decent people, as was Hillary Clinton, not crooks concealing dangerous hidden agendas. I only wish Obama was the same. He's not.

(A FrankLozano.com Production) Little did I know when I was given the audio to this phone call that it would become SO HUGE. When I produced this video, I knew it was special to ME, but never would I have guessed when typing the text and editing the music that it would literally touch MILLIONS. I am proud to have put this video together for the world to see and hear. We have had a lot of requests to replay the phone call that Pastor Mike shared during our church service on Sunday, Nov. 11th, 2007.

Here you'll find the video clip that I created just for you. After our church service I placed the video on YouTube so that you can watch it and share with family and friends.

Logan is a 13 year-old boy who lives on a ranch in a very small town in Nebraska. Logan listens to Christian Radio station 89.3FM KSBJ which broadcasts from Houston, TX. Logan called the radio station distraught because he had to take down a calf . His words have wisdom beyond his years.

Since airing the audio of the phone call and now the making of the video clip, it has taken on a life of its own. People are forwarding it all over the world. We encourage you to share the love of Christ with anyone you can.

Article "Socialism and the Yamaha CS 80" for Cubanology Biweekly

My friend José from Cubanology.com asked me an article to put into the biweekly session for other writers in his site.
Here´s the article, called " Socialism and the Yamaha CS 80". That´s about a comparison between the infamous synthetizer that standard-lised rock/pop music in the late seventies, and socialism, that is the kind of standard policies ready to take place whenever some "action" from the government is required.

The Yamaha CS 80

Socialism and the Yamaha CS80


By Luís Afonso Assumpção


I’ve bought some re-issued CDs lately. One one of these was “Discovery” , the successful 1979 album from the Electric Light Orchestra. I used to liked a lot, specially because “Confusion”, “Last Train to London” and “Don’t Let Me Down”. But this album reminded me of all the buzz about rock groups that committed “disco albums” in those days. It was a kind of Capital Sin for all rock fans.

The music crowd was divided into two different visions: Rock and Discothèque. “Discovery” was a huge success, but despite of it - or better, because of it - it was labelled as ELO’s “surrender” to the system.

In fact, it was not a surrender to the “system” but a surrender to the synthetizers, to name one, the Yamaha CS80. In the CD booklet, JeffLynne, the heart and mind behind Electric Light Orchestra, wrote thatthe sound of this album was driven by two things: a strings session andthe sound of the Yamaha CS80 polyphonic synth. According to Lynne, heplayed around many times with the Yamaha, creating strange or etherealsounds on it. “Confusion” was made up interely by this process.

But what rock fans did think about it? They thought the album was
just cheesy. And camp. These were prove right, specially because
“Discovery” prepared terrain for the next ELO mission: “Xanadu”
soundtrack…

In 1980 other rock group surrendered to Yamanha CS80, after yearsassuring that their albums were recorded “with no synthetizers!!!” :Queen. The album: “The Game” (self-explained title?). They even soundjust like Chic’s Bernard Edwards/Nile Rodgers in “Another One Bites The Dust”. Again, some fans estranged. And even got mad..

The music in the seventies could be described as a “cold war” between disco and rock. And you couldn’t be neutral. But it seems that this buzz is part of the past now. Nowadays rock / pop fans are not divided as disco / rock fans in the seventies, specially after years of crossovers. The music right now can be described as “convergent”: many groups / artists sound exactly the same. Can we put the blame on the Yamaha CS80?


Friedrich Engels

Socialism is a kind of Yamaha CS80 of the politics of our time. When I hear and see many “conservative” people justifying their socialistic policies with the argument that it is the only hope, I doubted it. Just like the Yamaha synth used by ELO and Queen, these people admire socialism because they like it. And they want to control the

government and using it, to control society as a whole. This is what happens when you mix capitalism with socialism: you don’t achieve a balanced government, but “middle of the road” policies that leads to the Road to Serfdom.


 Andrei Sakharov The Nobel Peace Prize 1975

Andrei Sakharov The Nobel Peace Prize 1975

The other name for serfdom is “convergence”. It was coined by Sakharov (former soviet dissident) to describe a world where socialism and capitalism were mixed together but socialism is, in fact, the portion that controls it all. That’s why new and former communistic regimes intend to form “convergent” coalitions with the west, specially in the US.That is the reason that you see many republican speaking as liberals. They believed that government intervention is not only necessary but is needed to make capitalism more fair. Socialistic policies not only make all politicians look the same, but they, in

fact, make government bigger. And they don’t recognize it as the gates of serfdom.

To avoid it we must keep the Cold War on. We need black and white world views again. Not the same gray. The bands in the seventies were free to look - aparently - the same for their fans. But it is not the case in politicians. We need more clarity and less “convergence” or crossovers. We need to return to the basic.That’s why in the late seventies the music returned to the basic. That’s what is need in politics. We need The Ramones.

A Starn Is Born: Sarah Palin

This year we have elections down there in Brazil. What a waste of time it will be.
None of the candidates express the real feelings of brazilians. They learned to be actors interested in attention of the media. The mainstream media in Brazil is lefty as is in USA.
But there are people who are not in the spotlight-follower crowd. Sarah Palin speech was one of the things that I hope someday someone could be spoke in portuguese.
It is incredible how Republicans can re-emerge themselves from ash (or do I have to say "flood"?)
Viva Palin. I don´t know what "hockey mom" means, but I am for it.
If I were an American voter, I will be proud to vote to the McCain-Palin ticket.
Let´s cut the crap. Here her speech.

Obama Joke

I've just received this by mail. It is so good that deserves to be published...


Barack Obama, the Presidential Democratic Party candidate, is for
banning all guns in America . He is considered by those who have dealt
with him as a bit more than just a little self-righteous.

At a recent rural elementary school assembly in EastTexas, he asked
the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to
slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in
total silence.

Then he said into the microphone, "Children, every time I clap my
hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence."

Then, little Richard Earl, with a proud EastTexas drawl, pierced the
quiet and said: "'Well, dumb-ass, stop clapping!"

Brazilian President Says that Opposition to Homosexuality is a "Perverse Disease"

Julio Severo, the scarce voice against the homosexual agenda (as a government program) created an english version of his blog.
This post comments the overture of a homosexual "congress" made by Lula, the Brazilian President, where he exposed his vows to the homo-movement. What Lula is saying is that all the votes that he gained from families in Brazil are not important. He is a man compromised to his comrade´s agenda. For him, anyone who opposes to homosexualism have a "perverse disease"..

Obama and Colombian Terror a.k.a FARC

Now that Interpol assured that all the data found in the computer of Colombian terrorist leader , Rau Reyes, is in fact all true, is not only Venezuela and Ecuador government that are exposed as FARC´s friends.

The name of Barack Obama emerged too. If that was true, this is true either.
And the truth is that Obama will "appease" with Colombian Farc terrorist group while he will get hard on the democratic and most popular president of Americas, Álvaro Uribe.


Remember this? Is all true!!!


IBDeditorials.com: Editorials, Political Cartoons, and Polls from Investor's Business Daily -- Obama And FARC
In a Feb. 28 letter, FARC chieftain Raul Reyes cheerily reported to his inner circle that he met "two gringos" who assured him "the new president of their country will be Obama and that they are interested in your compatriots. Obama will not support 'Plan Colombia' nor will he sign the TLC (Free Trade Agreement)."

Aside from some interesting possibilities about who these "gringos" are — a congressional delegation did visit Ecuador and an international leftist "congress" was held in Quito around this time — the real question is why anyone secretly consorting with FARC would be able to speak for presidential candidate Obama.

Obama hasn't said a whole lot about Colombia other than to criticize President Bush's good relations with President Uribe. With this correspondence suggesting that FARC knows what he thinks, maybe the American voters have a right to know what he thinks, too. Five questions come to mind:

1. Is it true Obama would cut off Plan Colombia military aid to our ally, which would serve the terrorist group FARC's interests?

2. Does Obama still oppose a free trade agreement for Colombia, even though that puts him on the same side as FARC in the debate?

3. Does Obama know or care that one of his staffers or supporters is claiming to disclose his positions in secret meetings with FARC terrorists outside government channels?

4. Can he tell us why his supporters would pass on such information to terrorists, and what he or she could gain from it?

5. Will Obama, as president, treat FARC as the serious terrorists they are, given that they still hold three Americans hostage?

These aren't idle "gotcha" questions, by the way. Based on his campaign so far, Obama favors meeting and negotiating with rogue leaders without preconditions, passing secret messages to foreign countries at odds with his public positions and tolerating Che-flag wielding leftists among his supporters who advance a radical agenda in his name.

Now that FARC seems to have an inside line to Obama's campaign, maybe he ought to come tell voters what he really stands for.

Ann Coulter on Bush "Appeasement" Talk

I really like Ann Coulter.
I´ve read two of her books: "How to talk with a liberal" and "Godless" and, contrary to what I guessed, there are real arguments behind her witty phrases... Her clever comments are just the spice of a fine meal.

That´s why you never get bored reading Ann. Her word-puzzles are great. Here´s an excerpt of this week post. Ann comments the over-criticized (by the left) speech of president Bush in Israel.

It is obvious that Bush referred to the appeasement politics that Obambi (ahaha) intends to implement. But Ann is wrong. Obama is not a new copy of Neville Chamberlain, just because Bush is not a copy of Churchill. Not even Ahmadinejad resemble Hitler.

Obama will talk with "Al-ma" and he will agree immediatly. With no concessions, no war. Just because Obama is a good person. And because he, definetly, can talk to the animals!! Look what Obama did "appeasing" people like Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Weather Underground people or Louis Farrakan, son Ahmadinejad will be a peace of cake...

Enjoy Ann´s article..

If We Could Talk to the Animals - HUMAN EVENTS
Calling the fight against terrorism "the defining challenge of our time" -- which already confused liberals who think the defining struggle of our time is against Wal-Mart -- Bush said:

"Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: 'Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."

The way liberals squealed, you'd think someone had mentioned Obama's ears. Summoning all their womanly anger, today's Neville Chamberlains denounced Bush, saying this was an unjustified attack on Obambi and, furthermore, that it's absurd to compare B. Hussein Obama's willingness to "talk" to Ahmadinejad to Neville Chamberlain's capitulation to Hitler.

Liberal-Scientist Blogger Detests Libertarianism... and Ron Paul

I have talked (and argue, sometimes) with many Randian Libertarians. They always claim that the libertarian views must be spread amongst the internet to make people aware of what libertarianism is really about. My point was that strictly libertarian-rational à la Ayn Rand views would not help anyone to let leftism aside. The usual libertarian speech sounds incredible selfish and greedy to people. A discourse like this would only make people more wary against libertarian views than to adopt it. Moral values, even used as a bogus by the socialist always, sound better to the non-initiated.
That´s why I am conservative.
Libertarianism with no moral values is just like to have a incredible sportscar and allow it to be driven by a drunk driver.

This article makes me wonder about it..
The explanation why PZ Myers, owner of a Science Blog, detests libertarianism is the same that all leftists have spread during many years throughout the media, as "a reactionay political movement that seeks to elevate greed and selfishness as a ruling principle".
Regarding to Ron Paul (the very subject of the article), I think his libertarianism is so naive that could be used as trojan horse even by Nazis (American National Socialist Workers Party , that apparently endorsed his candidacy), a thing that nobody that share a glimpse of conservatism could ever agree upon.
I have to confess that I was impressed by RP proposals, initially (taxes, his sctrictly constitutionalism) but after some scrutiny I´ve left his wagon.

I think is these kind of lies that all conservative-libertarian must fight against. 
Read the article to see why.


Why is Ron Paul so popular?

Category: Politics
Posted on: December 29, 2007 8:20 PM, by PZ Myers

OK, 'fess up — some of you know that I thoroughly detest libertarianism, that reactionary political movement that seeks to elevate greed and selfishness as a ruling principle, and I suspect one of you got me a subscription to Reason magazine a few months ago, just to taunt me. If your goal was to persuade me to come over to the side of unbridled anti-social self-centeredness, you failed. The issue comes, I glance through it, find a few little bits and pieces I can agree with, but because they're all imbedded in this thick tarry fecal sludge of libertarianism, I end up throwing the whole thing away in disgust.

The issue I got today was no exception. The cover story: Ron Paul. Bleh.

I disliked Ron Paul before I learned he was a quack, before I heard him deny evolution, before I learned he was an enabler for neo-nazis. I rejected him when I first read about his proposed policies, the ones he isn't embarrassed to make public, and saw that he was promoting the same garbage my relatives in the John Birch Society were peddling when I was a young man: isolationism, anti-government, anti-immigrant, generalized hatred of the other and a blind refusal to recognize that culture matters.

The mostly laudatory article in Reason confirms my opinion.

…it's all classic Ron Paul: Get rid of the income tax and replace it with nothing; find the money to support those dependent on Social Security and Medicare by shutting down the worldwide empire, while giving the young a path out of those programs; don't pass a draft; have a foreign policy of friendship and trade, not wars and subsidies. He attacks the drug war … one of his biggest applause lines, to my astonishment, involves getting rid of the Federal Reserve.

I actually approve of some of that, like ending the drive to empire and the drug war. The John Birchers of my youth pushed the same agenda, but then you dig a little deeper, and you find the rotting core of their reasoning.

He wants tougher border enforcement, including a border wall; he wants to eliminate birthright citizenship; and he wants to end the public subsidies that might attract illegal immigrants.

Ron Paul isn't just a small-government obsessive: he's a no-government radical. And at the same time he wants every positive function of government to vanish, he wants what amounts to a police state in place to keep the rest of the world out, all out of fear of those strangers with different customs and ideas.

So, please, whoever you are: don't renew my subscription to that awful magazine, and please, please don't make me live in a Ron Paul America.

Israel, at 60 and the "Nakba" Myth

Israel at 60 - created at UN session that was presided by Brazilian (and gaucho - means that he was born at the same state as I, Rio Grande do Sul) diplomat Oswaldo Aranha in 1948. According to wikipedia, "As the head of the Brazilian delegation to the U.N., Aranha supported
and heavily lobbied for the partition of Palestine toward the creation
of the State of Israel; in 2007, a street in Tel Aviv was named in his honor at a ceremony attended by his relatives and Brazil's ambassador to Israel."

So, Brazil and Israel have historical bonds. Sometimes readers ask me why I have the banner "I a proud friend of Israel" on the rigth. Many of them use the same justifications against Israel. All of them spread around by the leftist media in Brazil, in the same fashion Green Little Footballs told us about MSM coverage. So the youth are basically pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel. The main objection is the Nakba myth.
I found this interesting article o the subject.


Nakba and the Palestinian Lie « TMQ2
The nakba of the late 1940’s and 1950’s that befell large numbers of Jews living in Arab countries who were suddenly expelled, persecuted, and stripped of their property does not interest such people. Those Jewish refugees made new homes in Israel and actually outnumbered the Palestinians who fled.

Meanwhile, an urban legend has been fabricated about the origin of the term “nakba” — a fairy tale that claims the word was a banner waved by Palestinians starting in 1948, and that its very use shows how deep the roots of “Palestinian nationality” go.

Jonah Goldberg at L.A. Times..

Conservatives are happier than Liberals!

John Ray, from Dissecting Leftism, linked a research that shows the opposite regarding to conservatives. Liberals-minded people always say conservative are angry and unhappy. Here´s the new study.
"Individuals with conservative ideologies are happier than liberal-leaners, and new research pinpoints the reason: Conservatives rationalize social and economic inequalities. Regardless of marital status, income or church attendance, right-wing individuals reported greater life satisfaction and well-being than left-wingers, the new study found. Conservatives also scored highest on measures of rationalization, which gauge a person's tendency to justify, or explain away, inequalities.

The rationalization measure included statements such as: "It is not really that big a problem if some people have more of a chance in life than others," and "This country would be better off if we worried less about how equal people are." To justify economic inequalities, a person could support the idea of meritocracy, in which people supposedly move up their economic status in society based on hard work and good performance. In that way, one's social class attainment, whether upper, middle or lower, would be perceived as totally fair and justified.

If your beliefs don't justify gaps in status, you could be left frustrated and disheartened, according to the researchers, Jaime Napier and John Jost of New York University. They conducted a U.S.-centric survey and a more internationally focused one to arrive at the findings. "Our research suggests that inequality takes a greater psychological toll on liberals than on conservatives," the researchers write in the June issue of the journal Psychological Science, "apparently because liberals lack ideological rationalizations that would help them frame inequality in a positive (or at least neutral) light."

The results support and further explain a Pew Research Center survey from 2006, in which 47 percent of conservative Republicans in the U.S. described themselves as "very happy," while only 28 percent of liberal Democrats indicated such cheer. The same rationalizing phenomena could apply to personal situations as well.

"There is no reason to think that the effects we have identified here are unique to economic forms of inequality," the researchers write. "Research suggests that highly egalitarian women are less happy in their marriages compared with their more traditional counterparts, apparently because they are more troubled by disparities in domestic labor."

The Books that F** the World!!!

The Books that F** the World!

I just received this message from Human Events... This book seems to be great...



TV, video games, the Internet—many people blame technology for the violence, narcissism, and secularism in society today. But Professor Benjamin Wiker argues technology isn't to blame—philosophy is. In his controversial new book, 10 Books That Screwed Up the World (And 5 Others That Didn't Help) , Wiker proves that some of Western civilization's most "respected" books are really the root of many modern-day destructive ideas and cultural vices.

Taking aim at such books as Machiavelli's The Prince and Hitler's Mein Kampf , Wiker shows how these authors' perverse ideologies not only have led to past atrocities like war and genocide, but also how their philosophies are still popular and damaging today. Their ideas might influence your own thinking and you don't even realize it! In this intriguing and provocative exposé, you'll learn:

  • How Hobbes's Leviathan promotes the belief that we have a "right" to have and do whatever we want.

  • How Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil promotes atheism and paved the way for popular atheists like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens.

  • How Mead's Coming of Age in Samoa promotes promiscuity and divorce.

Witty, shocking, and instructive, Wiker seizes each of these evil books by its malignant heart and exposes it to the light of day, offering a quick education on the worst ideas in human history—and how we can combat them in the future.”



In the Amazon page for the book I found more clues on the books that “screwed-up”..:

  1. Why Machiavelli'sThe Prince was the inspiration for a long list of tyrannies (Stalin had it on his nightstand)

  2. How Descartes'Discourse on Method "proved" God's existence only by making Him a creation of our own ego

  3. How Hobbes'Leviathan led to the belief that we have a "right" to whatever we want

  4. Why Marx and Engels'sCommunist Manifesto could win the award for the most malicious book ever written

  5. How Darwin'sThe Descent of Man proves he intended "survival of the fittest" to be applied to human society

  6. How Nietzsche'sBeyond Good and Evil issued the call for a world ruled solely by the "will to power"

  7. How Hitler'sMein Kampf was a kind of "spiritualized Darwinism" that accounts for his genocidal anti-Semitism

  8. How the pansexual paradise described in Margaret Mead'sComing of Age in Samoa turned out to be a creation of her own sexual confusions and aspirations

  9. Why Alfred Kinsey'sSexual Behaviorin the Human Male was simply autobiography masquerading as science”


To add more interest to the book, it is recommended by Thomas E. Woods Jr, writer of “ How Church Built Western Civilization” .

Interview with Golitsyn´s Editor

Christopher Story is the editor of the magazine on intelligence "Soviet Analyst" and the editor of Perestroika Deception by Anatoly Golitsyn. Here´s some excerpt from the first part of the interview taken by William Jasper.


The Perestroika Deception (part I) by William F. Jasper
Golitsyn is probably the most important Soviet defector ever to have reached the West. The reason for this is that he revealed the details of a long-range deception strategy of which the West previously had no knowledge. When debriefed, he emphasized, as he has done ever since, that because of his background of working within the "inner KGB" — a super-secret strategic planning department of which not even ordinary KGB officers were aware — he was uniquely qualified to inform the West about Soviet strategy. One of the superficial criticisms frequently made about Golitsyn is that he has been "out of the loop" since defecting to Finland with his wife and daughter in 1961, so how could he possibly know what was going on? People who say this reveal a failure to understand Golitsyn's significance, and what he has to offer the West.

In summary, Golitsyn's importance is that, unlike all other defectors, Golitsyn discusses and elaborates upon Soviet strategy. By contrast, defectors like Oleg Gordievsky discuss mundane matters concerning the manner of their "escape" from the Soviet Union, perhaps revealing valuable operational information in order to gain the confidence of (in Gordievsky's case) Britain's MI6, before inserting strategic disinformation in their output. Golitsyn is different. He has spent his years in the West explaining patiently that the Soviets follow Leninist strategic principles, and are engaged in a deadly long-term war against the West. The Soviet revolutionaries have followed Lenin's advice to "work by other means."

Fitna , the movie

H/T by James DeMeo, finally the movie made by the Dutch Politician Geert Wilders, that was almost banned from the "liberal" Holland. And even the States.
See if for yourself.


The Sao Paulo Forum: From the past into the future


Brazil MSM was "suddenly" presented to the Sao Paulo Forum (Foro de Sao Paulo), in the streams of events ignited by the death of Raul Reyes, the spokenperson from Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia aka FARC by a militaty mission commanded by Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.


From Reyes´ notebook files , captured by Colombian forces, it was clear the involvement (better, the engagement bonds) of Venezuela, Ecuador in financing the terrorist group.


"Foro de Sao Paulo" was the name uttered by many, as the dark force behind the revolutionary left offspring in Latin America.
Many disinformation outlets, even citing the "Foro" for the first time in their pages, noticing that PT and Lula da Silva created the Foro in 1990, created another lie. Now they claim that Brazilian President is no more a participant, that he even "blamed" his former group as crazy and the only link with them is in terms of Nostalgia and humanitary efforts to release FARC´s hostages.
Nothing is more false than it.
I discovered this interesting article that uncovers the Foro from the beginning. It was written in 1992 and describe what it is and what is the goal of such group.

Here´s the main objectives of the group:


The Sao Paulo Forum and Post-Cold War Thinking in Latin America


At the invitation of Brazil's PT, in July 1990 representatives from forty-eight leftist parties, organizations, and fronts-including those mentioned above and others, among them the Cuban Communist Party--met in Sao Paulo to interchange ideas and experiences. The participants established the Sao Paulo Forum with the objective of developing unity and collective strategies and programs. The final resolution stated: "We express our joint determination to renew leftist thought, to correct erroneous conceptions, to overcome all bureaucratism and all obstacles to an authentically social and mass democracy."[1]




It seems quite rosy, huh? But what they really meant by "mass democracy"?
The leader of FMLN explained :
"The history of Eastern Europe made it crystal clear that absolute poweris an error and that people do not live on bread alone," affirms FMLNleader Joaquin Villalobos. "There is no democracy without revolution,and no revolution without democracy."

Is that clear now?
Here´s the full article

Bloody Communist Gods and Brazilian Media.

I´ve just received this: North Korea still the same.
And it reveals the same inhumane face of the "socialism" (you can see it here and here ), a word that in Latin America seems to be the Heaven´s Gate.

It is incredible: people that would die by famine were send to execution !!

Thanks JamesDeMeo for the link.

PS.: It is incredible 2: I ´ve check this news in portuguese. The information that the refugees were starving was hidden! That´s what I call "bias". "Folha de Sao Paulo", the biggest Brazilian Newspaper is a lefty news outlet. No wonder that they not talk about the communist take over Latin America, aka Foro de Sao Paulo, if they do not even publish bad news from North Korea.

Here the original link:

And finally the same news that appeared in Folha de Sao Paulo (translated by google translate). Check it out.

Below , commentary from James DeMeo.

------------------------------

North Korea publicly executes 15 starving refugees fleeing to China in desperate search for food
I've gathered a lot of information over the years laying bare the horrible abuses against life and love within the Islamic world, in efforts to warn they are far more dangerous in totality than anything found in the West. But the Communist nations are just as bad, if not worse! Rather than demand everyone genuflect to the bloodthirsty Allah, the Communist delusion declares their own bloodthirsty Glorious Leaders as Gods, to whom people must genuflect as if they were Allah. Genuflecting is an old Saharasian trait, where delusional bloody psychotics think themselves to be up in the clouds, and everyone else low down in the dirt. The worst of them continue to be found within or at the border regions surrounding Saharasia, often mixing their communism with Islamism, and old Nazism (which is socialist at root), totalitarianisms which were all borne and bred in the antisex, antilife mileu of Saharasian warrior-cult armored ideology. Anything which is anti-love and anti-life, they can rationally mix into their existing culture, no matter what the superficial intellectual components -- they can even call themselves "people's republics" as the people are machine-gunned while searching for food. And just like the situation with submission-demanding Islam, we have plenty of people in the West who are in rapture to the Communist Church, quite willing to sell their families and neighbors into slavery if given the opportunity -- all "for the people", of course. Creeping Sharia Law and Creeping Socialism/Communism are diseases afflicting nearly every Western nation, to the detriment of their peoples lives and freedom. The North Koreans seem to epitomize the "pure culture" of the Communist Church today, having gone even further than Mao (if that can be imagined). They are to communism what Saudi Arabia and the Talibans are to Islam. The old Saharasian War-Lord mentality is alive and well, stealing everything into the hands of a powerful few, and viewing anyone not a member of their central dominating Military Caste as expendable garbage.

FARC Spokesman , Reys, Was Located by a Phone Call from Chávez :: Porta-Voz das FARC foi Localizado por Chamada de Chávez

It is incredible! Colombian Army has spotted Raul Reys by a telephone call from.... Hugo Chávez. FARC´s best friend turned out to be their Nemesis.
It seems that Chávez is following the footsteps of his master, Castro, that send Guevara to a Bolivian revolution just to be located and shot-down.
It came from a Venezuelan blogger, Martha Colmenares, that reproduced a post from news outlet GLOBOVISION. In spanish.


Here are the main lines:


"News: According to RCN radio site, a telephone call from Hugo Chávez to the FARC´s spokeman Raul Reyes, allowed to the Colombian Army to locate the camp site where he was.. It was stablished, from a high rank intelligence source, that the number one in FARC´S hierarchy, the founder and leader Manuel Marulanda (TiroFijo) "is refuged in Venezuela".


Yep, is safer to be in Venezuela. In Colombia, if you receive a call from Chávez.. It´s done.

Breaking News: 31.5 tonnes of Brazilian Firearms Flew Secretly to Venezuela!

A friend of mine just send me this: Where are all those who claimed Lula was a "counterbalance" to Chávez in Latin America?
Lula is the creator of the Foro de Sao Paulo, the evil organisation behind the "return of the living dead"-commies to power in the region and the most perfect imposter of Brazil´s history, pretending to be "not a leftist" anymore while helping his friends in Cuba, Venezuela, Nicarágua, Colombia (FARC), Peru and Bolivia. Here you can see him in his utter ugliness, just like an uncovered "Portrait of Dorian Gray".

Many people in North America fell into this trap so naively that it is difficult to explain. Only their wishful thinking could explain such distorted opinions on Brazilian president while he always said one thing but acted otherwise.

Yet another high-risk indicator for Venezuela surfaces
2 March 2008
If you remember the chaos that surrounded the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990), you know that financial institutions simply cannot operate under conditions of street violence. The tenuous situation in Venezuela could soon reach that state, in light of disturbing new developments that have come to light. Read the details below, and decide for yourself whether a civil war is on the horizon in Caracas.

Here is what we know so far:

a.. Four secret flights are scheduled into Venezuela, on TAM Brazilian Airlines, transporting 31.5 tonnes of firearms made in Brazil. The first flight has already arrived, carrying 1.5 tonnes of weapons; each additional flight is scheduled to bring in ten tonnes each.

a.. Whilst the exact types of weapons are unknown, one can safely estimate that between 50,000 and 70,000 weapons will be contained in these shipments, which are not consigned for the Ministry of Defence, but are to be quietly delivered directly to the Miraflores Presidential Palace, on the orders of Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez Frias. Why all the secrecy?

a.. In a country where the armed forces and the police are already well-equipped, these weapons can only have one intended use; to arm civilian supporters of the current regime, who will use it upon the opposition in an expected violent confrontation that could degenerate into a civil war.

A civil disturbance would result in the complete shutdown of the financial system in the capital. Watch for any preliminary signs of organised violence, closure of shoppes and businesses, and attacks upon civilians.

Olavo de Carvalho´s Article : President Lula - Guilty by Confession

I´ve just received this. It is an English translation of one of the most important articles from Brazilian philosopher Olavo de Carvalho, that explains the Lula da Silva´s hidden (it is really hidden? ) agenda.
Roxane, Olavo´s lovely wife has brought me this.
Thank you.

President Lula, Guilty by  Confession

Olavo de Carvalho
 

Diário do  Comércio (São  Paulo, Brazil), September 26th, 2005

http://laiglesforum.com/2008/02/27/president-lula-guilty-by-confession/    

Translated by David Carvalho and Donald  Hank

  

  

I should be grateful to Mr. President Lula. When  practically all the national media makes an effort to cover up the activities of  the Sao Paulo Forum or even to deny its existence, labeling as a "madman" or  "fanatic" anyone who denounces them, cometh the very founder of the entity and  does the job, proving by his own words the most depressing suspicions and some  even worse.

 

The presidential speech on July 2, 2005, stated in the  fifteen year anniversary of the Forum and reproduced in the government's  official site, http://www.info.planalto.gov.br/download/discursos/pr812a.doc,  is the explicit confession of a conspiracy against the national sovereignty, an  infinitely more serious crime than all crimes of corruption perpetrated and  covered up by the current government; a crime that, by itself, would justify not  only impeachment but also the imprisonment of its  perpetrator.

  

At the distance at which I find myself, I have only now  become fully aware of this unique document, and yet the editors-in-chief of the  major newspapers and of all the radio and TV news broadcasts in  Brazil were there the whole time.  Being aware of the speech since the date it was made, they still remained  silent, proving that their persistent hiding of the facts was not the result of  distraction or pure incompetence: it was subservient, Machiavellian complicity  with a crime, of which they expected to enjoy profits  unknown.

  

The meaning of these paragraphs, once unearthed from the  verbal garbage that wraps it, is crystal clear:

  

"As a function of the existence of the Sao Paulo Forum,  comrade Marco Aurelio has played an extraordinary role in this effort to  consolidate what we started in 1990... This was how we, in January 2003,  proposed to our comrade, president Chavez, the creation of the Group of Friends  to find a peaceful solution that, thank God, took place in Venezuela. And it was  only possible thanks to a political action between comrades. It was not a  political action of either a State with another State, or either one president  with another president. Some will remember, Chavez attended one of the forums we  held in Havana.  And thanks to this relationship it was possible for us to build, with many  political divergences, the consolidation of what took place in  Venezuela, with the  referendum that installed Chavez as president of Venezuela.

  

"In this way we could act, together with other countries,  with our comrades of the social movement, of those countries' parties, of the  union movement, always using the relationship built in the Sao Paulo Forum so  that we could talk without appearing to do so, and so that people would not  understand any political interference taking  place."

  

What the President admits in these excerpts is  that:

  

1. The Sao  Paulo Forum is a secret or at least undercover entity  ("built... so that we could talk without seeming so, and so that people would  not understand any political interference taking  place").

  

2. This entity is actively involved in the internal  politics of many Latin-American nations, making decisions and determining the  course of events, at the margins of all supervision by government, parliaments,  justice and public opinion.

  

3. The so called "Group of Friends of Venezuela" was but  an arm, agency or facade of the Sao Paulo Forum ("as a function of the existence  of the Forum... we proposed to our comrade president  Chavez."..).

  

4. After being elected in 2002, he, Luis Inacio Lula da  Silva, while having abandoned pro forma his position as president of the  Sao Paulo Forum, giving the impression that he was free to rule Brazil without  commitments with ill-explained foreign alliances, kept working underground for  the Forum, helping, for instance, to produce the results of the Venezuelan  referendum of August 15, 2004 ("thanks to this relationship it was possible for  us to provide the consolidation of what took place in Venezuela"), without  giving his voters the slightest satisfaction for  this.

  

5. The orientation in vital issues of Brazilian foreign  policy was decided by Mr. Lula not as President of the Republic at meetings with  his ministers, but as an attendee and advisor of underground meetings with  foreign political agents ("it was a political action between comrades, not a  political action either of one State with another, or of one president with  another"). He put loyalty to his "comrades" above his duties as a  president.

  

The President confesses, in short, that he subjected the  country to decisions made by foreigners, gathered in conferences of an entity  whose actions the Brazilian people would not be made privy to, much less  understand.

  

The active humiliation of the national sovereignty could  not be more evident, especially when one realizes that the attending entities of  these decision-making meetings include organizations such as the Chilean MIR,  kidnapper of Brazilians, and the FARC, Colombian narcoguerilla, responsible,  according to its member Fernandinho Beira-Mar, for the annual injection of two  hundred tons of cocaine into the national market.

  

Never before has an elected president of any civilized  country showed such complete disdain for the Constitution, the laws, the  institutions and the entire electorate, while giving all confidence, all  authority, to a conclave swarming with criminals, in tracing the nation's  destiny and its relations with its neighbors behind the people's backs. Never  before in Brazil was there such a brazen,  complete and cynical traitor as Luis Inacio Lula da  Silva.

  

The greatest proof that he consciously eluded the opinion  of the public, keeping them ignorant of the operations of the Sao Paulo Forum,  is that, as the elections approached, fearing my constant denunciation of this  entity, he told his "advisor for international affairs," Giancarlo Summa, to  placate the newspapers by means of an official note from the Workers Party  stating that the Forum was just an innocent debating club, devoid of any  political action (see http://www.olavodecarvalho.org/semana/10192002globo.htm   and http://www.olavodecarvalho.org/semana/10192002globo.htm).  

  

And now he boasts of the "political action of comrades,"  performed with resources from the Brazilian government and hidden from Congress,  justice and public opinion.

  

Compared to such an immense crime, what importance can  the Mensalão and the like phenomena have (v. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensal%C3%A3o_scandal), but as a means of financing operations that are only  part of the overall strategy of transferring national sovereignty to the secret  authority of foreigners?

  

Can there be greater disproportion than between ordinary  cases of corruption and this supreme crime for which they served as  instruments?

  

The answer is obvious. But why then did many readily  denounce the means while agreeing to keep covering up the  ends?

  

Here the answer is less obvious. It requires presorting.  The denouncers are divided in two types: (A) individuals and groups committed to  the Sao Paulo Forum's scheme, but not directly involved in the use of these  illicit means in particular; (B) individuals and groups unrelated to both  things.

  

The rationale of the former is simple, to whit: off with  the rings, but keep the fingers. Once it has become impossible to keep hiding  the use of illicit instruments, they agree to throw their most notorious  operators under the bus, in order to keep perpetrating the same crime by other  means and agents. The content and even the style of the charges leveled by these  people reveal their nature as pure decoys. When they attribute the Workers Party  corruption, which started as early as 1990, to settlements with the IMF signed  in 2003 on, they show that their need to lie does not shrink even before plain  and simple material impossibility. When they cast the blame on some "group,"  hiding the fact that the ramifications of the criminal structure extended from  the Presidency of the Republic to the rural town halls, implicating practically  the whole party, they prove that they have as much to hide as those that were  charged at the time.

  

More complex are the motivations of group B. In part, it  is composed of characters devoid of fiber, physical and moral cowards, who would  rather focus on the lesser details for fear of seeing the continental dimensions  of the overall crime. There is also the subgroup of the intellectually weak, who  stake their bets on the "death of communism" nonsense and now, in order not to  contradict themselves, feel obliged, to reduce the greatest coup scam in the  history of Latin America to the more manageable dimensions of an ordinary  corruption scheme, depoliticizing the meaning of the facts and pretending that  Lula is nothing more than a  Fernando Collor  without a jet ski. There are those who, out of either opportunism or stupidity,  collaborated way too much with the rise of the criminal party to power and now  feel divided between the impulse to cleanse themselves of the stench of the bad  company they kept, and the impulse to lessen the crime to avoid the burden of  their complicity in it. There are also the pseudo-experts who aided and abetted  the enemy, blinded by the insane illusion that it is more viable to defeat him  by gnawing at him from the edges than by landing a death blow in his heart.  There are, finally, those who truly understand nothing of what's going on and,  parroting Brazilian speech patterns, just repeat what they hear, in hopes of  blending in.

  

I earnestly ask all the flaming anti-corruption accusers  of recent weeks – politicians, media owners, businessmen, journalists,  intellectuals, judges, and military – to examine carefully their own  consciences, if they have any left, to see in which of these subgroups they  fall. Because, aside from those few Brazilians of valor who supported in timely  fashion the charges against the Sao Paulo Forum, all the others will inevitably  fall into one of them.

  

It would be absurd to blame only Lula and the Sao Paulo  Forum for the Brazilian moral decay, forgetting the contribution they got from  these fair-weather moralists, as eager to denounce the parts as they are to hide  the whole picture. Nothing could have fueled national self-deceit more than this  marvelous network of complicities and omissions born of motivations that, while  varied, converge into the same result, namely, the creation of a false  impression of transparent investigations, and a facade of normality and  lawfulness even as the entire order crumbles, invisibly gnawed away from the  inside.

  

The destruction of order and its replacement by "a new  pattern of relationships between State and society," decided in secret meetings  with foreigners — such was Mr. Lula's confessed objective. This objective, as he  said in another part of the same speech, should be attained and consolidated "in  a manner such that it can be sustained, regardless of who is governing the  country."

  

What is perceived from the behavior of Mr. Lula's critics  and accusers is that, in this general objective, he has already emerged  victorious, regardless of the success or failure that he may have in the rest of  his term. The new order whose name may not be spoken is already in place, and  its authority is such that not even the president's fiercest enemies dare to  challenge it. All of them, in one way or another, have already committed  themselves at least implicitly to put the Sao Paulo Forum above the  Constitution, the laws and the institutions of Brazil. If they  complain about looting, embezzlement, vote buying and bribes, it is precisely to  avoid complaining about the transfer of national sovereignty to the continental  conference of "comrades," like Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, the Colombian  narcoguerillas and the Chilean kidnappers. It is like a rape victim protesting  the damage to her hairdo, neglecting to mention, even politely, the rape  itself.

  

Perhaps the deeds of Mr. Lula and his wretched Forum  would not have wrought such vast damage in Brazil as this  total inversion of proportions, complete destruction of moral judgment, and  total corruption of the public conscience. Never before has such a profound  agreement between accusers and accused been seen that would indulge the crime,  denounced with so much attention to the details, so as to succeed in the overall  objectives "without seeming to do so and so that people would not  understand."

Temperature Monitors Report Widescale Global Cooling (from James DeMeo)

James DeMeo, from www.orgonelab.org analyses recent weather data gathering, revealing that the planet was in fact cooling during last twelve months.

While tons of "Gores" claim their "incovenient truth", the weather kept oling...      
            
"The "old climatology" which I was trained in and formerly taught in the universities, embraced the observed principles of homeostatic mechanisms -- or, self-correcting mechanisms -- by which both living system and larger ecological systems would adjust to compensate for changes.  Such was the foundation for Lovelock's "Gaia" theory of "Earth as living organism".  The generation which embraced Gaia has forgotten or never knew the science behind it, however, and instead has flocked to the CO2 theory of global warming.  But that theory basically ignores homeostatic mechanisms, and hundreds of years of empirically-developed climate science.


When you get hot, your body sweats and discharges heat by the mechanism of water evaporation from the skin surface.  Likewise, a global warming could trigger a global cooling by increases in evaporation from land and oceans, with subsequent increases in clouds and precipitation.  A global cooling always has been more dangerous given the predominance of increased glaciers, massive storms, shipwrecks, shorter growing seasons, failed crops, starvation and famine during such times.  Too much rains and ice can work a damage just as too little rains and heat.  Anyone who has read a bit about the Little Ice Age knows this, and doesn't necessarily fear a moderate global warming, which also happened in the past during the Medieval Warm Period, which was mostly a time of plenty and booming economies.  But the "new climatology" speaks of "tipping points", which is like saying, when your body gets hot, you don't sweat anymore.  Or when the atmosphere heats, clouds no longer form.  That could happen with a disturbed organism, or with a stagnated dor-choked atmosphere -- but that's not what is claimed by the advocates of Industrial CO2 greenhouse theory.  Irrespective of the theory one embraces, it is axiomatic that atmospheric warming evaporates more water, and from that, more clouds and precipitation as rain and snow. Snow on the ground then reflects sunlight back into space, and in a net sense the atmosphere cools.  Ergo, last year, and this winter -- breaking all records for snows and cooling world-wide, and confounding the predictions of the warming advocates.  Natural cycle?  Driven by solar variation (we are still waiting for the next solar cycle to start -- the sun seems to have the sunspot-switch turned off!)  Driven by cloudbuster operations within and surrounding the Saharasian Desert Belt, which suppresses the desert-drought heat-wave-producing dust-dor clouds?  Who can say.  In any case, here at OBRL Greensprings Center, we had a full 5 feet of snow on the ground by mid February.  Few here are old enough to remember anything similar.  Some photos from the 1930s suggest a similar snow condition, but not since.  It was literally up to the shoulders or the eyeballs, depending upon your height.  Nobody would believe it, so we made a short photo-essay, here:
http://www.orgonelab.org/Winter2008.htm


This record snow was not merely local but was typical of many other places in the Northern Hemisphere.  The article below suggests, a dramatic global cooling is in progress.  Expect a rekindling of all the public debate.  Possibly it is a short cold transient from a larger trend of continued warming.  Or the trend could be reversing.  I suppose we will all hear the claimed rise in human-produced global CO2 is responsible for this as well, just as it was firstly blamed for Hurricane Katrina, and later blamed for the absence of the failed prediction for even more hurricanes.  If anything like the Little Ice Age developed, the UN would insist everyone return to coal burning, cross-ocean trade and travel would become a risky enterprise once again, and we would be burning all those textbooks to keep warm in the dark.


The article below is a great summary.  Go to the original to review the imbedded weblinks, which provide more info.
