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."

  1. "Romney, Ron Paul and Huntsman"

    bah!!!




    2004

    Vermin Supreme campaigned in the Democratic Party primary in 2004. He received 149 votes in the Washington DC Presidential primary.
    [edit] 2008

    Vermin Supreme campaigned in the New Hampshire Republican Party primary in 2008. He received 41 votes (0.02 %) in the New Hampshire primary. According to the Federal Election Commission, he also received 43 votes, nationally, in the general election.
    [edit] 2012
    Supreme glitter bombs Randall Terry during a forum.

    Vermin Supreme is currently campaigning in the 2012 election. The following are some of the milestones in this campaign:

    Oct 29, 2011: He is to be listed on the 2012 Democratic Party primary ballot in New Hampshire.[11]
    Oct 29, 2011: He participated in a satirical debate against a representative of the campaign of deceased British occultist Aleister Crowley.[12]
    Dec 19, 2011: He participated in the Lesser-Known Democratic Candidates Presidential Forum and 'glitterbombed' fellow candidate Randall Terry, claiming that Jesus told him to turn Terry gay.[13]

  4. In one of the more incongruous diplomatic visits in recent memory, Libyan officials over the weekend rolled out the red carpet for none other than Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir — the dictator next door wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity for slaughtering his own people, very like the military dictator just overthrown in Libya who was also wanted by the ICC on similar charges.

    ...

    What's arguably worse than Libya's embrace of its monstrous neighbor is the silence about it from the rest of the world. Every time Bashir crosses the borders of his own nation for another country that defies the ICC by failing to honor the court's arrest warrant, the practice of sheltering war criminals and disrespecting international law becomes more acceptable — and when this becomes so routine that world leaders cease to comment, it has devastating consequences for global human rights.

    ...

    This has to stop. President Obama and other global leaders should speak out loudly and forcefully, before Bashir gets another stamp on his passport.

  7. Meantime, US and several western countries are experiencing massive popular protests against their governments' economic policies.

    In relevant remarks, Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said that the Occupy Wall Street movement would bring down capitalism in America, underlining that the US administration could crack down, but would not be able to stop the movement.

    Addressing tens of thousands of people in the western city of Kermanshah in October, Ayatollah Khamenei said the United States is now in a full-blown crisis because its "corrupt foundation has been exposed to the American people."

  8. From Bloomberg:

    U.S. gasoline demand dropped 1.4 percent last week to the lowest level in more than seven years of records, according to MasterCard Inc. Drivers bought 8.04 million barrels a day of the motor fuel in the week ended Jan. 6, down from 8.16 million the week before, figures from the company’s SpendingPulse report showed. The data goes back to July 2004.

  51. I've already said where I think Paul is wrong. I think his total isolationism wouldn't work. That's probably the main thing. Let him investigate the Fed if he wishes. Let him bring back the gold standard. With Paul Saddam would still be in Kuwait, and probably half way into Saudi Arabia. Then his news letters which are really damning. Sometimes he can't connect two thoughts, and is given to all this conspiracy stuff, time and again, like the border fence is to keep us in.

    In short, I think he is crazy, and shouldn't have been in the Republican primaries to begin with, as he wrote a letter some years ago dropping out of the Republican primary.

    We all know why he is there, because he gets some publicity he wouldn't get with the Libertarian Party.

    O, and he is so soooo dumb as to embrace the crackpot idea of 'jury nullification', which would, if really acted upon, destroy the democracy, and the rational for a legislature.

    But, I've said it all before.

    ... far superior to ...

    Failure to Report.

  53. In Scotland jury nullification had the profound effect of introducing (or as others believed, reviving) the verdict of "not guilty". It was in 1728 that one Carnegie of Finhaven accidentally killed the Scottish Earl of Strathmore. As the defendant had undoubtedly killed the Earl, the law (as it stood) required the jury merely to look at the facts and pass a verdict of "proven" or "not proven" depending on whether they believed the facts proved the defendant had killed the Earl.[citation needed] However, if the jury brought in a "proven" verdict they would in effect cause this innocent man to die. To avert this injustice, the jury decided to assert what it believed to be their "ancient right" to judge the whole case and not just the facts, rendering the verdict of "not guilty" which remains in Scotland to this day. Over time, however, juries have tended to favour the "not guilty" verdict over "not proven" and with this the interpretation has changed. Now the "not guilty" verdict has become the normal verdict when a jury is convinced of innocence and the "not proven" verdict is only used when the jury is not certain of innocence or guilt.[citation needed]

    Standard jury trial practice in the United States during the Founding Era and for several decades afterward was to argue all issues of law in the presence of the jury, so that the jury heard the same arguments the bench did in reaching his rulings on motions. This is evidenced by such decisions as the 1839 case Stettinius v. U.S., in which it was held that "The defense can argue law to the jury before the court gives instructions."[18] Later, judges began to demand the parties submit motions in writing, often before the jury was empaneled, to be argued and decided without the jury being present. This transition began with motions in limine, to exclude evidence, on which it was felt the jury should not hear the argument because they would be informed of the evidence to be excluded. Later that was expanded to include all legal argument, so that today, that earlier practice of arguing law before the jury has been largely forgotten, and judges even declare mistrials or overturn verdicts if legal argument is made to the jury.[

    It's how the common people protect themselves from the corrupt, thieving "powers that be."

  54. Actually, common sense tells you that "jury nullification" happens all across the U.S. every day.

    There are some cases, involving certain defendents, that the jury just isn't going to convict on.

  55. Sanctions and Sabotage, working just fine.

    No need for war.

    TEHRAN, Iran — Two assailants on a motorcycle attached a magnetic bomb to the car of an Iranian university professor working at a key nuclear facility, killing him and wounding two people on Wednesday, a semiofficial news agency reported.

    The attack in Tehran bore a strong resemblance to earlier killings of scientists working on the Iranian nuclear program. It is certain to reinforce authorities' claims of widening clandestine operations by Western powers and allies to try to cripple nuclear advancements.

    The bomb killed Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a chemistry expert and a director of the Natanz uranium enrichment facility in central Iran, the semiofficial Fars news agency reported.

    I wouldn't start worrying about Ron Paul, Bob.

    There is little chance he will be nominated and no chance he would beat Obama.

    Therefore, do not take what I am about to say as any indication I think he has a chance to win; however,

    Where Paul to win the presidency, the damage would be limited by the fact that he has two entrenched parties already there to impede anything crazy he might try. He may be able to get some positive things done around the edges like auditing the FED since there is already a group in Congress pushing for that. His real contribution may come through the negative power of the veto. Even here, the damage from any crazy stuff would be limited by Congress power to override the veto.

    However, as rat has mentioned numerous times, it would shake up the boys in OZ. No longer could the party in power delude themselves that they were given a mandate by the American people (even though they have an approval rating of 9%).

    IMO the next four years will be wasted no matter who wins. Neither major party has a clue as to how to fix our key problems which are the economy and jobs.

    Obama may get credit for any improvement in either over the next year. He can also be hurt by events in Europe or China. I still doubt he will do anything stupid in Iran unless his numbers really tank before the election.

    While he may get credit, he deserves none. Any positives we see in the economy are, IMO, the results of the business cycle, pent up demand, and the ecomony struggling to right itself after a big hit.

    For that reason and those mentioned before a Paul presidency might not be all that bad. For the next four years we will have a caretaker presidency anyway. At least Paul would make it interesting.

    Of course, the NLP waould also make it interesting and with their emphasis on TM we all might lose a little weight which could only be a good thing for most of the country.

    Tel Aviv voted best gay city of 2011 on LGBT website
    By JPOST.COM STAFF
    01/11/2012 10:11

    The "exotic" and "welcoming" Mediterranean city garners 43 percent of votes in an online poll.

    Those still reeling from the news that the famous Lesbian bar Minerva closed its doors this week may welcome the news that despite that development, Tel Aviv was voted the best gay city of 2011, according to an online poll on LGBT travel website gaycities.com.

    "The gay capitol of the Middle East is exotic and welcoming with a Mediterranean c'est la vie attitude," the website said.

    Tel Aviv garnered 43 percent of the vote, far ahead of the next competitor, New York City, which raked in 14%.

    Other cities on the list included Toronto, Sao Paulo, Madrid, London, New Orleans, and Mexico City.

    The poll, which was sponsored by American Airlines, also included categories such as best dressed city (New York), best settle down city (Seattle), and best resort town (Provincetown).

    Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai welcomed the news, saying that the city has "dramatically improved its connection to the gay community.'

    "It is today an integral part of the social and cultural fabric of the city," he said.

    Huldai praised Tel Aviv as a city that appreciates individual freedoms, allowing "everyone to live by his principles and desires."

    "This is a free city where any one can feel proud, and be proud of who they are," Huldai said.

  91. What is important is to focus on a couple of Jewish kids that spray painted some words on the wall of a mosque. "price tag" and burned a couple of cars.

    Meanwhile in France, moslem youths have burned thousands of cars over the last 3 years to such an extent that now the fire dept doesnt respond without police protection...

    Meanwhile nothing is reported about the following:
    CAIRO – On the evening of Saturday, Dec. 17, while thousands of protesters confronted military police in downtown Cairo, I stood watching a valuable piece of Egypt's cultural heritage go up in smoke. As Molotov cocktails and bullets flew around the cabinet building, where the clashes were concentrated, the nearby Egyptian Scientific Institute, a decrepit and neglected old building full of rare books and valuable manuscripts, had caught fire. I cried in disbelief. What had brought me -- and Egypt -- to this point?

    I had not come back home to witness such sights. In early December, I took a break from my graduate studies in Australia to return to Cairo and vote for the first time in my life. I proudly cast ballots on Thursday, Dec. 15, for the candidates I thought would best represent me in post-revolutionary Egypt's first parliament. Then, the next day, I woke up to news of renewed clashes between soldiers and protesters staging a sit-in in front of the Egyptian cabinet to pressure the new government formed by Prime Minister Kamal Ganzouri to fulfill their growing list of demands. The army, in a surprise early morning attack, had swooped in on the protesters, attacking them brutally with rocks, batons, and live bullets to force them to leave the street. Qasr al-Aini Street and the cabinet building had become a war zone of broken glass, strewn rocks, blood, and smoke.

    My Sternocleidomastoid is feeling a little better today so sitting in front of the computer as I did yesterday, for too long, will probably make it worse. It needs to heal by Friday.

  95. Learn To Stretch Sternomastoid Here

    I had an operation once, without which I would have died, according to my doc brother, where my eardrum, stirrup, anvil and what's the other one were removed, my mastoid area reamed out, a skin graft taken from the back of my neck, out of which a new eardrum was fashioned, all the parts put back in, shined up -- and I've never been able to hear out of that ear very well since. Got infected swimming in the surf in Hawaii.

    Modern medicine has saved my life three times.

    Under ObamaCare I imagine soon I won't have enough "Qualia" left to merit another operation. It'll be death panels for bobbo time.

    Now be honest T, nothing friendly when you hate Israel.....

    But Israel doesnt hate lesbians, arabs, christians (real ones), atheists, bahai's, moslems or even straight people.

    israel is a great place for freedom.

    But if you hate jews, israel, zionism and or judaism? Well you are just out of luck. I'd suggest you limit your sexual orientation choice of vacation spots to those in areas of the world that have no Jews...

  106. Listen closely folks... EVERYTHING YOU SAY is part of your "permanent record"


    Freedom of speech might allow journalists to get away with a lot in America, but the Department of Homeland Security is on the ready to make sure that the government is keeping dibs on who is saying what.
    Under the National Operations Center (NOC)’s Media Monitoring Initiative that came out of DHS headquarters in November, Washington has the written permission to retain data on users of social media and online networking platforms.
    Specifically, the DHS announced the NCO and its Office of Operations Coordination and Planning (OPS) can collect personal information from news anchors, journalists, reporters or anyone who may use “traditional and/or social media in real time to keep their audience situationally aware and informed.”
    According to the Department of Homeland Security’s own definition of personal identifiable information, or PII, such data could consist of any intellect “that permits the identity of an individual to be directly or indirectly inferred, including any information which is linked or linkable to that individual.” Previously established guidelines within the administration say that data could only be collected under authorization set forth by written code, but the new provisions in the NOC’s write-up means that any reporter, whether someone along the lines of Walter Cronkite or a budding blogger, can be victimized by the agency.

  126. Jury Nullification


    It is ironic that Rat equates abortion with murder yet he seems enamored with jury nullification. The irony stems from the fact that several juries refused to convict Dr. Henry Morgentaler which eventually led to the Canada 's current making available, and funding, of abortion. In other words 'Jury Nullification' trumped Canada's anti-abortion laws.

Juries have always been able to say 'fuck it' and not convict, like in the stealing a chicken to feed the starving family in England, which was a real case. When they did so, they didn't know they were in the nullification business, but they were.

    But that the State retains a "right" to take that life, beyond question. Or conscription would not be an option for government.

  137. Abortion is a "rights" issue and dealt with Constitutionally. The Canadian Supreme Court agreed:

    "The appeal case, R v. Morgentaler, 1988, was heard by the Canadian Supreme Court, which upheld the original jury acquittal. In addition, it declared the 1969 abortion law to be in violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and thus unconstitutional in the case of R. v. Morgentaler 1988 (1 S.C.R. 30).[31] The court ruled 5-2 that the administrative procedures were cumbersome and unjustifiably interfered with the body integrity of women."[32] On January 28, the law was found to violate Section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms because it infringes upon a woman's right to "life, liberty and security of person." Chief Justice Brian Dickson wrote:


    "Forcing a woman, by threat of criminal sanction, to carry a fetus to term unless she meets certain criteria unrelated to her own priorities and aspirations, is a profound interference with a woman's body and thus a violation of her security of the person."[23]

    Justice Bertha Wilson wrote:


    "The decision of a woman to terminate her pregnancy falls within the class of protected decisions [because it will have] profound psychological, economic and social consequences for the pregnant woman… The right to reproduce or not to reproduce… is properly perceived as an integral part of modern woman’s struggle to assert her dignity and worth as a human being… The purpose of [section 251] is to take the decision away from the woman and give it to a committee."[33]"

  140. Yet, throughout the years, Manilow has made every attempt to conceal his sexual orientation. Few know Manilow was married to Susan Deixler, his high school “sweetheart,” whom he callously dumped while on his quest to have fame and fortune enter his front or back door.

    Manilow makes a fleeting reference to Deixler in his 1987 autobiography Sweet Life; without naming her, he recalls her as “adorable, small with great legs and a voluptuous figure.” Less than a year later, he abruptly left Susan, telling her he was going on “this wondrous musical adventure that I saw within my reach.” On January 6, 1966, a annulment decree was signed. A cousin of Deixler claims that “the marriage was annulled for not being consummated.”

    Ouch!

    Perhaps he’ll never be ready to take a chance again. During a 2004 concert at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Manilow made homophobic remarks. Just as he started to sing a duet with Brian d’Arcy James, Manilow quipped to the crowd, “Of course, we're not going to sing it to each other—that would be creepy.”

    The comment forced an apology out of Manilow’s camp, who insisted “the line was meant lightheartedly,” and that Manilow was “very sorry if he offended anyone.”

    When the camper was directly asked if Manilow was gay, she said, “no comment.”

    Yet Manilow makes many comments. His official bio dismisses the fact that he began his career in a gay bathhouse, despite the fact that he’s admitted ripping off his tuxedo and jumping into the bathhouse’s pool with lots of gay nude men. (He blamed losing his inhibitions on the drinks and joints that had been passed to him.)

    In 2002, Manilow he told a New York newspaper that the stories he used to perform in gay bathhouses are extremely exaggerated.

  142. I can understand the argument, concerning the "rights" of the woman, ash.

    I can also understand that the purpose of government is to defend the weakest amongst us, from a loss of their own "rights".

    Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically the only excuse the government has for even existing.

    ~Ronald Reagan


    There are "rights" accorded to individuals. These "rights" are in opposition, with regards to abortion.

    A view of a sonogram does add to the perception that the fetus is a separate individual, though in a symbiotic relationship with the mother.

    As I say, at some point the fetus becomes an individual. One that should be protected, not discarded.

    It is an issue that should be legislated, not set forth in a judicial decree from the Supremes.

    One thing Paul would accomplish if any renewal of the Patriot Act or this latest abhorrition allowing for the indefinite detention without trial of American citizens on the basis of "suspicion" is to veto the legislation. It would be interesting to see if Congress could muster the votes to override that veto given that Paul would have the bully pulpit to inform the Amnerican people how they and there rights have been screwed over for the past ten years.

    Perhaps Paul could enlighten the public as to how the government has said "We have to curtail your rights in order to protect you", and the pussies out there have said "Do what you have to do, just don't let them them hurt me."

  151. The State of Maryland, moving forward on the issue.


    Murder charges against doctors test Maryland abortion law

    (Reuters) - A murder case against two doctors who allegedly completed late-term abortions in Maryland after starting them in New Jersey could be the first to test a state law tied to the "viability" of an unborn fetus.

    Steven Chase Brigham, 55, the owner of American Women's Services clinics, and his employee, Nicola Irene Riley, 46, were arrested last week after a 16-month criminal investigation by Maryland authorities.

    Officers who searched the Elkton, Maryland, clinic during the investigation found 35 fetuses in a freezer, a source with knowledge of the case told Reuters.

    A series of earlier investigations by state medical boards revealed that Brigham illegally initiated abortions at a clinic he owns in Voorhees, New Jersey, and then allegedly completed the procedures at a clinic in Maryland, where he was not licensed.

    In New Jersey, late-term abortions can be performed only in a hospital or licensed ambulatory facility; there is no such restriction in Maryland.

    Brigham faces multiple charges including five counts of first-degree murder. Riley also faces multiple charges, including one count of first-degree murder.

  156. If israel was a theocracy then the Chief Rabbinate's opinion on abortion would be an issue.

    However Israel is not a theocracy.

    Israel's Rabbinate makes a valid point, Jews should not use abortion as birth control.

    But it's an opinion, just as Catholic leaders in American think of it as a sin, but cannot do much legally about it.

    The good news?

    Jewish abortions are going down.

    That ought to make rat happy, more and more jewish citizens of the jewish state of Israel.

    I personally have done my personal best to increase the number of jewish kids running around this planet and never had the reason or need for abortion.

    Rat seems to think somehow that Israelis making personal choices is akin to genocide.

    If that is the case then America has it's own 100x genocide as well.

    mur·der
       [mur-der]
    noun
    1.
    Law . the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law.

    In the U.S., special statutory definitions include murder committed with malice aforethought, characterized by deliberation or premeditation or occurring during the commission of another serious crime, as robbery or arson (first-degree murder), and murder by intent but without deliberation or premeditation (second-degree murder).


    As "o" says, I may not know the "true" meaning of the word "murder", in the traditions of Judaism.

    But I am sure that the Chief Rabbinate of Israel knows what they mean when they use the term "Murder of Jewish Souls".

    Could be something is "lost" in translation, but that argument has never been made.

    Instead the argument is that sperm is to be conflated with fetuses, contraception with abortion.

    I'm not going to take that as a super stellar compliment only because you're so easily persuaded.

  171. Lots of tings got dem spirits.


    In olden times the ancestral souls lived in pots in the kitchen. Lares and penates are important psychological personages who should not be frightened away by too much modernity.

    --The great Swiss Psychologist C.G. Jung


    Ladies, check your pots and pans.

    When the tea pot whistles, it's gramps teasing grams.

  172. Take it up with the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, Ms T.

    Matters little to me, if the Israeli choose to murder souls or discard postembryonic tissue mass.

    It is their decision.

    But the fact that the Chief Rabbinate describes it as the Murder of Souls, undeniable.

    Perhaps they should be replaced.
    Perhaps they should be listened to.

    But it is not for me to censor, delete or attempt to explain away the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, when they deplore the continuing Murder of Jewish Souls, by Israeli, in Israel.

    But it is entertaining to watch the wiggle.

  174. It is not important to me how or why the Chief Rabbinate of Israel came to their conclusions.

    I only care about their public statements. Statements that are concise, clear and without equivocation in their directness.

    The Chief Rabbinate considers abortion by Judaic women to be the Murder of Jewish Souls.

    That much is clearly undeniable and I wonder how long it will be until the position of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel is described by "o" as anti-Semitic.

    Wiggly is on his own.

  175. As long as US soldiers are going to Israel, to assist in its defense, it is a viable topic for Americans to discuss

    Even if US troops were not there, defending Israel, I would still discuss the hypocrisy evident in the priorities of the hyphenated Americans. As the US spends hundreds of millions of dollars in the defense of Israel.

  177. If you didn't care, anon, you wouldn't even tell me so.

    That you do tell me that you don't, well, that just exemplifies how much you really do, care.

    That's the joy of it.

    Whisper it, or shout from the roof top, matters not at all, to me.

    No sense stopping, now.

  180. I'm not trying to popular, that never has been my intent.

    As for the entertainment value, it works for you, too.

    This computer it's a money machine

    When I get bored with that aspect of its use, I come here to the Bar and twist your tail.

    You certainly seem to enjoy it.

  182. A Europeon businessman that found being a tax collector for the Government to difficult a task to handle.

    (Reuters) - A businessman convicted of embezzlement shot dead a prosecutor as his sentence was being read out in a German court Wednesday, police and prosecutors said.

    The 54-year-old man shot the prosecutor with a 6.35-caliber gun as the sentence was read out in the courtroom in Dachau, in the southern state of Bavaria, police said.

    Two witnesses in the courtroom managed to overpower the man, who was then arrested, the police added. He is being charged with murder, they added.

    "During the oral delivery of the sentence, the culprit pulled out a gun and shot the prosecutor several times," the chief public prosecutor Christoph Stroetz told a news conference.

    The man had been accused of failing to pay 44,000 euros ($56,000) worth of national insurance contributions for his employees.
