COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Russia, 'Acting like their Forefathers' Make Pirates Disappear



13:2512/05/2010

The freeing of the Moscow University tanker


The alleged deaths of a group of Somali pirates who were set free after hijacking a Russian tanker near the Gulf of Aden have sparked heated debate in the Russian media.

Ten pirates were captured and one killed in an operation on May 6 to free the Moscow University tanker, captured on May 5.

A top-ranking source in Russia's Defense Ministry said on Tuesday the pirates had been disarmed and set adrift in a rubber boat without navigation equipment. The Russian military concluded that the hijackers perished as their boat disappeared from radars an hour after they were released.

Editor-in-chief of the Maritime Bulletin magazine Mikhail Voitenko told Russian daily Gazeta the pirates had obviously been "killed."

"When they [the military officials] realized there would be difficulties, they invented the story about the release. And now, to bring the story to a close, they added this information about the pirates perishing at sea," Gazeta quoted Voitentko as saying.

"If they did perish at sea, that would also be murder, just in a more sophisticated form," he said, adding that fighting pirates off the Somali coast has become a kind of "safari" for the military, "with zero danger and the chance of rewards and glory."

According to the Defense Ministry source, the Russian military officials were forced to release the pirates as there is no international legal base to carry out prosecution procedures against hijackers and the nationality of the detained pirates was not allowed to be revealed.

Russian daily Nezavisimay Gazeta said the story left many unanswered questions, especially surrounding the repercussions of the incident.

"It is known that so far pirates have been trying to leave captured sailors alive. Now, it cannot be ruled out that they will take harsher and, God forbid, crueler action, especially if there are Russians among the crew of captured vessels," the paper said.

It added that many Somali pirates will be aware of the fact that the Russians knew the pirates would perish after being sent adrift in a rubber boat without navigation equipment and other pirates are likely to try to avenge the deaths of their comrades.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev pledged last week to punish pirates who take vessels hostage off the Somali coast "with the full force of maritime law."

Until a legal system allowing hijackers to be punished is created, "we will have to act as our forefathers did when they met pirates," he said.

    Instead of trying to get laws passed to punish piracy on the high seas, the UN spends its time trying to pass laws suppressing free speech.

    Somali pirates seize Greek ship
    BBC News - ‎1 hour ago‎

    Pirates have seized a Greek-owned ship with 23 people on board in the Gulf of Aden, the ship's managers say. The Eleni P, which is managed by Eurobulk, was carrying a cargo of iron ore from the Black Sea to China.

  9. Metropolitan Phoenix, which already has suffered convention cancellations because of Arizona's new immigration law, risks losing as much as $90 million in hotel and convention business over the next five years because of the controversy, according to city estimates.
    ...
    Phoenix city and tourism officials have compiled a "watch list" of about 20 events, said David Krietor, a deputy city manager tracking the issue.

    The list consists of four organizations that have canceled events and more than a dozen others that have booked events but have expressed concerns about the new law.

    Those watch-list events would affect city-run venues, such as the Phoenix Convention Center and the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel, as well as hotels and resorts around the Valley.

    "We have an image and public-relations problem of what might be unprecedented proportions," Krietor said.

    The $90 million figure represents the estimated amount that those groups' members would spend in the region. Some events are scheduled this year. Others are booked as far out as 2015.

    People who attend Phoenix Convention Center events alone spend about $350 million each year, officials have said.

    Recent cancellations include the oldest African-American Greek-lettered fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., which was supposed to hold a July meeting at the Sheraton. The fraternity's annual convention was expected to draw about 5,000 attendees and as many as 10,000 visitors, a fraternity spokesman said.

    Organizers will now hold that event in Las Vegas.

    Other cancellations, all for 2012, are the National Association of Black Accountants, the International Communications Association and the National Urban League.

    The city did not have attendance estimates for all of the groups, but they represent about 16,000 room nights in local hotels, Krietor said.
    ...
    At today's meeting, the city is likely to discuss strategies to help retain tourism, Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon said.

    But he worries that the impact of the immigration debate is already creating a ripple effect.

    Some conventions that have decided to stay in Phoenix don't want to publicize that fact because they fear being boycotted themselves, Gordon said.

    He also has heard that conventions that have decided to stay in Phoenix are getting fewer attendees and fewer sponsors.

    "It's a near economic crisis," Gordon said.

    The watch list does not include the Republican and Democratic national conventions in 2012. Phoenix is being considered for both, but both parties are under pressure to avoid metro Phoenix.

    Democratic leaders were in Phoenix a few weeks ago, but are in the early stages of the selection process.

    Phoenix is one of three finalists for the GOP gathering, along with Salt Lake City and Tampa.

    Millions are at stake. The convention where President Barack Obama accepted the Democratic nomination generated $266 million in economic spending in the region, according to a Denver study.

    That the vaunted Isreali Air Force attacked their own troops, no excuse for them killing Americans.

    Yes, DR, that’s right: The Israeli Air Force is awesome – 82 kills without the loss of a single Israeli plane or air crew. No high altitude drops on unsuspecting ground targets or impersonal drone attacks; nope, the Israelis meet their Syrian adversaries in the air and fought it out. Like you, your Syrian cousins weren’t up to the task.

    That this same air force inadvertently attacked its own troops and armor just proves the point that in battle accidents happen and no one is perfect (other than you, of course).

    And just to be perfectly clear, no matter how many nutters write books defaming noble institutions, Pat Tillman was not murdered by his Ranger comrades and Gazan women and children (if killed by the IDF) were human shields for your brave Muslim warriors.


    You have to be paranoid beyond relief to believe that every single person serving on each of the 10 US boards of inquiry were in the pockets of the Israelis. You would also have to have no confidence whatsoever in your country, making a move to Panama or elsewhere advisable.

    Israel did attack the Liberty. It also quickly made the only restitution possible in such a case, monetary and a sincere apology.

    I would bet that you and those who support your twisted view of reality cannot name in the next five minutes the officer who commanded US naval forces in the region where the Liberty was attacked. The clock starts now.

    As to picking scabs, nothing is further from the truth. This is an open putrid wound that has the potential to affect the relationships of two historic allies.

    That the majority of American Jews foolishly voted for Mr. Obama has no bearing on the Liberty argument.

    ReplyDelete
  12. The majority of the Jewish US voters merely voted for Mr Obama, they did not buy him.

    That was done by the ex-CEO of General Dynamics. A fella that fronted an untested author over $3 million USD, for books that were unwritten, Lester Crown, Mr Obama's money man and the foremost "Friend of Israel", in Chi-town.

    He well exemplifies those that influenced the results of those Navy reports, as to Isreali motives, for attacking a US ship on the high seas.

    As well as those that killed the F22 program.

    Ah the Rat the Israel hater takes a new yet un-impressive rant....

    Well Rat makes the claim that the Turks are America's ally fighting shoulder to shoulder and Israel NEVER has fought with America..

    Yep the Turks fought in the Korean conflict...

    and Yep the USA did NOT ALLOW the Israelis to fight with them in Iraq (or respond to direct attacks by iraq)

    But maybe the more important point that Rat want to forget is that Israel doesnt want American boys and girls to fight it's battles... It only want America not to arm it's enemies and stand in it's way when it fights for it's survival..

    America did not stand up for Israel when it had the chance to do so, in 1967 with Nasser when America broke it's treaty obligations (with an ally) and did not sail a ship through the Arab blockade.

    Oh didnt those trustworthy Turks actually commit genocide in 1917? and murder 1.5 armenians? (compare that to the 400 women and kids in gaza) Last i checked Israel didnt rape and stab and quarter using horses the chilren of gaza, your friends the Turks did...

    And didnt the Turks refuse Bush and America in letting our troops go thru Turkey in the Gulf War?

    And how many hundreds of thousands of Kurds have the Turks murdered?

    Oh yea, and Israel is the genocidal criminal nation?

    what a hoot...

    As for standing with the USA, Israel, in the UN, voted with the USA more than any other nation, PERIOD

    As for standing with the USA, Israel trains, shares and helps American police, swat, special forces, medical trauma team and more...

    I guess Rat you really dont have a CLUE about the SHARED values of Israel and America, thousands and thousands of Americans Go to Israel for advanced training in fire fighting, emergency room management, medical science, IT development and more...

    Nothing said to me that better than listening to the Head of the Police Chiefs of America speak of the invaluable cooperation that Israel gives to it's dept's around America.

    America and Israel share values, share friendships and share the same enemies...

  21. Re: USS Liberty and other notorious conspiracies

    Today, there are countless numbers of elected public figures, bureaucrats, tenured professors and the general public who believe that AIDS was a bio-weapon misused by the CIA to bring genocide to American Blacks and the world’s Negroid people. Books by the shelf-full have been written and speeches and lectures given routinely hammering home this homicidal “fact”. Nonetheless, it is not true and all the books and hate speech will not make it so.

    JFK conspiracy theories are infinite, it would appear.

    President Roosevelt has been accused in print and from the floor of the US Congress to have known of the Pearl Harbor attack beforehand, allowing it to proceed without warning in order to have justification for American entry into WWII.

    People believe what they need. Sometimes these needs are abnormal.

    Gee Rufus... I see your so sensitive... Let's examine your pain... Really..

    Blacks were sold as slave by Blacks sold to whites and shit on..

    Yep.. When was that?

    And didnt America have a CIVIL (uncivil) war to end Slavery? Didnt tens of thousands of white Americans die freeing the slaves? Did not America create Liberia to allow those who wanted to go back to Africa to be free? Didnt America have the 40 acres and a mule law to give land to former slaves? Did not America pour trillions into education programs?

    And now Blacks self segregate themselves (along with the chicanos, gays, and other self described groups) into special exclusive groups all based on skin color or race, NOT BELIEFS

    Rufus: No fucking Israeli racist ever did a fucking thing for us.

    Correct, MOST Israelis are not racist, so it would be difficult to find one to do anything... IF you are trying to say that Israelis never have done anything for America? well that's just stupid..

    Rufus: You people may be able to get away with your racist bullshit in that bigoted, thieving piece of shit country you call Israel, but you can't do it with AMERICAN citizens.

    Now that's a fun filled mouthful! I wonder did you learn that at the White Power Rally?

    Israel is not racist, there are people of every color there that hold jobs, own property and hold office in every way, my guess you have actually never been there?

    As for "thieving" if Israel is a THIEVING nation, what is America? Israel (the people) was founded 3000 years ago and has various nationhoods for 5 times longer than America ever has... IF you dismiss historic claims then at the turn of the century the League of Nations gave FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA the entire area to the Jews as their homeland.

    The arabs occupy 649/650th of the middle east, Israel has 1/650th with 20% arabs as population, the arabs on their account have ethnically cleansed all arab lands of almost every jew, so again, "thieving"

    It seems it's you that is the bigot not I....

    Rufus: Go find yourself a nice "Confederate" blog. The internet is full of them. You'll be right at home.

    Naw, I was pointing out the Racist nature of a "BLACK" only professional groups. The same flies for Hispanic Professional Groups, Asian Group and such...

    From the founding of the NAACP (jews were on the board) to the 3 civili rights workers that were murdered by the klan (2 JEWS and a Negro) Jews have always fought for equality...

    Now Black America has embraced the likes of Farakkan, Rev Wright, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and yes Obama, who have a racist agenda against Jews in Israel.

    It's is Obama's policy to deny Jewish people the right to live in Jerusalem

    The USA is now monitoring Jewish settlement is Jerusalem and has very publically scolded Israel for it, and yet, that very same government ignores 450,000 illegal mexicans in AZ. An d now the BLACK Accountant Assoc weighs in and will boycott AZ...

    I deleted the comment WiO because I had left out the citation of you poo-pooing rufus idea that Blacks had set up their association because they had been discriminated against. You then offer the same argument for Jewish Golf Clubs. That is hypocrisy.

    Ash, Many black organization were set up to respond to prejudice.

    However in my experience MANY Black associations are being formed not because of exclusion of the minority but rather by the minority to segregate from the majority.

    It was the Black Accountants that made a public statement to boycott AZ, that is what i was responding to.

    I do not have detailed knowledge of every single historic reaction to prejudice however in was in the 70's when a movement broke out in America to form BLACK groups, Black Studies, Black History, Black Student group, this is self imposed victim mentality

    There may or may not be a legit reason for "black accountants" to be...

    But as rufus loves to say, America has fixed alot of its faults

    and today, it would be a crime to prohibit a black man (or women) to join the National Assoc of Accountants

    Now if you want to take golf as an example, there are still racist issues there concerning women, blacks and jews....

    Accountants?

  60. "Israeli immigration laws will accept an application for Israeli citizenship if there is proven documentation that any grandparent—not just the maternal grandmother—was Jewish. This does not mean that person is an "ethnic Jew", but Israeli immigration will accept that person because he or she has an ethnically Jewish connection, and because this same degree of connection was sufficient to be persecuted as a Jew by the Nazis. See Jewish ethnic divisions."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_is_a_Jew%3F




    Jewish ethnic divisions refers to a number of distinct communities within the world's ethnically Jewish population. Although considered one single self-identifying ethnicity, there are distinct ethnic divisions among Jews, most of which are primarily the result of geographic branching from an originating Israelite population, and subsequent independent evolutions.[1]

    Okay WiO, let's talk about human sacrifice. Follow along in 2 Samuel chapter 21.

    "There was a famine that ran for three straight years. King David made his inquiries, and the LORD answered, "It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites."

    The Gibeonites were all that remained of the Amorites. And Saul was only doing what the LORD told the Israelites to do in Deuteronomy 20:

    "But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth: But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee"

    Nevertheless King David called the Gibeonites in and asked them what he could do to make them whole again.

    They didn't want any gold or silver from Saul's estate. Instead they said, "The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel, let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul."

    David saw that he wouldn't have to worry about these sons of Saul intriguing for his throne as sons of deposed kings are wont to do. And this whole thing about God sending a famine until they were killed was a very convenient excuse.

    "So the king took the two sons of Rizpah and the five sons of Michal, which they bore unto Saul, and delivered them to the Gibeonites. They hanged them on the hill before the LORD and were put to death in the beginning of the barley harvest.

    And after David took the bones of the hanged men and buried them with the bones of Saul and Jonathan, God was "intreated for the land".


    In other words, God accepted seven human sacrifices as atonement for Saul carrying out his own commandment to bring total genocide to the Amorites.

    The only difference between my ancestor Lapo Lapo killing Magellan, and WiO's ancestor David killing seven sons of Saul was that David was able to put a "sacred" sheen on it by attributing a famine to YHWH which could only be satisfied by sacrificing seven human beings to that deity.

    Public Sector Unions


    Unions have played a big part in improving the status of the middle class in this country. In some areas it can be argued that they were allowed to go to far. But overall I view them as being a positive in the US.

    That is private sector unions. The worst they can do is drive themselves out of a job. The company has to balance union demands against stockholder demands and company survivability.

    The public sector union is another cat entirely. They negotiate against government officials who end up giving up other peoples money. There is no offsetting competion to temper demands. The taxpayer is the one on the hook.

    The recent growth in the size of government at both the federal, state and local levels; the uncompetitive nature of public sector salaries, tenure in the case of teachers; and the unsustainable nature of long-term benefits, pensions and healthcare, have convinced me that we can't afford public sector unions.

    True enough. But you can't blame it enrirely on the unions. In fact, the larger companies would have continued outsourcing jobs as long as there was marginal profit involved in doing so.

    An example, with regard to union benefits in the private sector:

    The guaranteed income benefits with the auto companies.

    Until recently, UAW members when they should have been laid off instead were placed in pools where they were paid up to 96% of their regular salaries. Any time auto unions where discussed this was always brought up and roundly criticized.

    However, what is not mentioned is that it was not the unions that asked for this. It was GM in a year they were designated the target company by the UAW. They offered it up to the union because at the time they thought it would give them a competitive advantage over Ford and Chrysler. Once GM bought into this it set the table and established a pattern for negotiations with Ford and Chrysler.

    What was the UAW going to do? Say no we don't want that. It wouldn't be prudent.

  98. A different approach to taking on terrorists: Europe vs. US


    Europe's antiterrorism agencies favor human intelligence over technology

    "PARIS -- The tip from Spain was only a vague warning. But it was enough for France's domestic intelligence agents to go to work, tapping phones, tailing suspects and squeezing informants. Before long, they rolled up a group of Muslim men in a provincial French town who, beneath a tranquil surface, were drawing up al-Qaeda-inspired plans to set off a bomb in the Paris subway.

    "The plot, described by a source with firsthand information, was one of 15 planned terrorist attacks by jihadist cells in France that have been thwarted in recent years, according to a count by the Central Directorate of Internal Intelligence (DCRI), France's main antiterrorism force. One was a bomb plot directed against the directorate's own headquarters.

    "The antiterrorism policing -- it is a not a "war," specialists here emphasized -- has been conducted for the most part in the dark, and in a style that sets France and other European countries apart from the United States. As U.S. officials seek to understand what may have led a Pakistani immigrant to try to blow up Times Square, and how he boarded an airplane at John F. Kennedy International Airport despite multiple computerized watch lists, Europe's specialists have pointed to their own approach as an example of how to proceed..."

    T, your entire approach to learning what is called the Hebrew scriptures is not to learn what the people who wrote it and lived it meant, you choose to inject your own pagan points of view when it fits your arguements..

    I do not proof text Torah quotes with gentiles. Torah is not for you. It is not yours to learn. The only thing that you should learn from the Torah is the 7 laws of Noah. Commonly called the 7 Noahide Laws. Period

    To study Torah and interject pagan thoughts on rational and explanations is like cooking a fine stew for hours and in the end, dumping just 1/5 of an ounce of horse shit in it...

    No matter how same the pagan ideals, when interjected into a Torah discussion, it's shit into the mix..

    To discuss "sacrifice" in the Torah as what you described as an example is pure shit. It is so off base in so many ways it really shows a lack of understanding of Jewish thought, law and Torah.

    Reading some lines in a Torah doesnt give you Talmudic insight... It just makes you look like anyone of millions of people who reject the Torah, it's meaning from the original point of view trying to impose a pagan pov into the fray...
