Lee Camp: More Immanent Contradictions

America's Best Christian, Mrs. Betty Bowers, Explains God's will About Abortion! Yay!

Huelga! Si se puedes...

This image, and this whole Spanish miners' strike, and their confrontation with the police,encapsulates, perfectly, the universal dilemma of formulating a social policy to climate change, even beyond the matter of profit-driven CorpoRat exploitation, in a fucking nutshell....

"We" need ever-more energy.

Burning coal is just about the worst way, from an environmentally responsible perspective, to make usable energy.

But these coal miners' jobs and livelihoods (and probably their macho egos, too), and their union's strength and influence, too, all depend on the continued use of this destructive substance in ways which continue to damage the entire ecosphere.

And the workers must fight to DEFEND the exploitation which ultimately falls the hardest on them and their families.

I think these are some more examples of hat Marx called the "immanent contradictions of Capital."

The Myth of Sustainability: A Commitment To A Chimera

It's sheerest, vainest, brazenest fantasy! Carbon-based "development" is NOT POSSIBLE, NOT SUSTAINABLE.
Period.
But the Owners will ensure that the world is trapped in that sticky mess as long as there is ONE, SINGLE, UNAMORTIZED DOLLAR of "investment"to recoup.
There is no way to reduce the foot-print of modernity soon enough or sizably enough to forestall the eventual (foreseeable) collapse of the part of the bio-sphere that sustains us.
 We've fucked it up beyond repair.
I SINCERELY hope I am no longer among the living when the blow falls.
 We are ALREADY edging closer and closer to Hobbes' "war of all against all," when civic life reverts the "the state of nature: poor, lonely, nasty, bruitish, and short."

Lee Camp's MoC: The Economic Hitmen Bring It Home

Vertigo! Phil Polizatto Goes All Hitchcock!

The very sounds of the STOOPIT can set a person off:

"This is what happens to me when I see someone bristling at the words “socialism,” “progressivism,” or anything that might sound like it is for the “greater good of the people.” They bristle with fear and ignorance because they have been manipulated by words and phrases that have no substance. Words and phrases made up by an elite corps of wealthy people with vested interests. They and their ad agencies make up slogans. “Show the birth certificate.” “Obama is a Fascist.” “Take our country back!” What the hell does that really mean? How far back? Pre-toilet paper? Or just pre-Civil Rights?

I look carefully for the theories and philosophies the Tea Partiers put forth which are worthy of debate. And I do mean debate in its purest form, namely, logical debate, in which the arguments derive from an axiom, are free from rhetoric and strategy, and based solely on substantiated facts. I ask Tea Partiers to describe in detail how their political theory and philosophy would be implemented. I am only answered with inanities and name-calling. But the more I drill down on my own to discover the details, the more frightening the Tea Party Platform becomes in its insidiousness. Its well-honed use of double-speak is downright scary. Add to the mix the awful reality of, “Say it often enough and it’s true,” (at least to many brain dead couch potatoes,) and the rhetoric really begins to smell."

My colleague on WWH is a very erudite, interesting fellow; slide on by World Wide Hippies

for the rest.

Lifting the Veils...

It's close to two hours long, but you should indulge yourselves.

"A system of Elite rule, which is a little more soft-core than the type of Elite rule we would see under a military dictatorship for instance, but what we are under - a Polyarchy is that the basic socioeconomic system does not change, it does not become democratised, wealth is not redistributed downward. You don't see a more equitable distribution of wealth and resources.

So that is the key: Socioeconomic Dictatorship and Free Elections."

In the end, the most terrifying thing about Goldstein's summation is that he's so besotted with the propaganda that he doesn't SEE that the SCROTUS OPUS DEISTS/Fucktards represent a complete and irreversible alteration to the whole jurisprudence of the Court, unless he (goldstein) that subsequent/future Justices will be as cazvalier about "stare decisis" as the current majority is and has been.

If Bats Went Extinct, Insects Would Smother Humanity W/in 5 Years

Without bats, humanity would be in a world of BUGS:

There’s this great story out of Pennsylvania about a group of 4th graders that have decided to hold a bake sale and donate the money to support research efforts on the fungal disease, white-nose syndrome, that is devastating bat populations in the eastern US.

There is a wonderful audio link with the story of an interview with their teacher that is well worth a listen, but if you don’t have the chance a few of the best parts are when the teacher is asked why her students chose to support this particular cause. She replies,

Once the (students) started researching it and finding out that we are going to be affected – we are affected by it in Pennsylvania –the idea is that we could have too many insects, we could have farmers with problems with too many worms, we could actually have like an epidemic if you will so - they got very interested because somehow it affects us personally.

And what are the students hopes?

They want to see a cure for white-nose syndrome. They want to have a healthy bat population. They are concerned about the overpopulation of insects and worms. They are even concerned about the food chain… the idea that we have to take care of the environment and make sure the animals are safe and as a result of that, that we’re safe as well.

And how did the rest of the school respond?

Normally people are squeamish about bats. In fact when the signs were first put up about the bake sale some of the kids almost said like, you know, ‘Why would we be raising money for bats?’ But the (students) have really informed the school and they almost look like more than leaders – they look like heroes.

They sound like bat heroes to me!

As white-nose syndrome continues to spread, the 4th graders are right – more money is needed for research efforts to determine whether there is anything we can do to slow or stop the spread of this terrible disease. NRDC is continuing its efforts to secure federal funding for this research and this past year we and our partners were successful in getting Congress to direct $4 million towards research and management of white-nose syndrome. But this simply isn’t enough when scientists have estimated they would need around $50 million to address basic scientific questions about the fungus. We need more money however we can get it.

We can’t all go to Pennsylvania and buy cookies from these 4th graders, but there are a number of other ways for each of us to support the effort:

Contact your Congressional representatives and tell them that you support funding to address white-nose syndrome
Learn more about the issue and educate your friends and family
Donate money to the organizations that are working to support solutions for white-nose syndrome. Our partners at Bat Conservation International and the National Speleological Society, for example, both have funds set up specifically for addressing white-nose syndrome.
Or follow the 4th graders lead and hold your own bat bake-sale!

Judas Priest, Under God!

The sanctimonious, berobed pederastic fucknozzles of the Roman Church's hierarchy have entered the political fray once again with complaints about supplying birth-control to their employees.

At the same time, there are fresh reevelations about sexual abuse of children by religious folks in ANOTHER diocese, this one in Milwaukee.

But I haven't seen ANYBODY reply to the mackerel-snappers' intrusion into the birth-control debate in the way in which I would, which would be to say:

"You vile, foul, filthy fucking hypocrites.
"You DARE to rail and rage about contraception, which even 90 percent of your on confession regards as sane, and sensible, while in EVERY diocese in the focking COUNTRY, and in MOST of them around the world, you skeevy fuckers CANNOT keep your grasping paws out of little children's underclothes?
"Fuck off.
"You can rejoin the conversation when your fucking pope and half the fucking college of Cardinals, and most of the bishops are in jail for rape."

The RC Hierarchs--anyone above the level of parish priest--should be required to register as "agents of a foreign power," and parish priests ought to be required to file a DNA sample with their local constabularies.
