Before he took office,
America had the world by the ass.
Almost all of the world respected, trusted, admired and emulated
America.
In less than two years, Bush destroyed that, and
now he has all the nations of the world,
rearming, forming new alliances, finding new sources for American
products, etc.
Considering Bush's hostility toward the United Nations,
and the cost of all the nations maintaining staffs
in New York, and the cost of updating the U.N. facilities,
I suggest that if China offered to build a new complex in Pudong
that the majority of the world would enthusiatically back the idea.
If the United Nations moves to China, China will reap enormous
financial and political power benefits, and will become the
communications center and power broker of the future,
while. America will become isolated from the rest of the world,
and drift into a more agricultural state.
( As America loses markets, and financial and political power,
and has to genuflect to the oil providers to stay afloat.)
It is interesting to observe that Croesus caused the downfall of his
kingdom by invading Persia, and Emperor Julian caused the downfall of
Rome by attacking Persia, and Bush has set the stage for the demise of
America by doing the same.
All had little to gain and much to lose, by their actions,
and their insane, egotistical, emotionally driven acts
destroyed what their societies took centuries to build.

Everything about his presidency was a lie. And you're a lie lover.
and it isn't "isolated" already?
While Governments may support the USA it seems public opinion in many
countries is somewhat less favourable at the moment.
I actually thought that GW would come riding in on a white horse and save
the day.

Clinton dealt with the terrorism threat exceptionally well during his
Presidency. Very few Americans died from terrorist attacks during his 8
years in office. Bush screwed up royally, and 3000 Americans died. That Bush
is worse than Clinton at fighting terrorism is self-evident.

What is so entertaining about these groups is seeing Bush-worshipping
assholes in denial.
Try living in a country filled with them.
China is not without it's own problems. They're making the same
mistakes the Soviets made. Their economic growth stems largely from the
industrial belt they built and enslave the farm peasants with. Reality
is that US and China are natural allies. Without the US to consume
their output, China can't employ it's billions and this leads to it's
historical social chaos. US is on the other side of the spectrum,
consuming all in sight with a credit card limited only by Chinas
willingness to keep lending through junk bonds (2.3 billion / day).
Without China, the USA can't even dress their own soldiers! The obvious
breaking point between Sino/US relations is energy (which is
increasingly important these days).
The only way out for China is to develop a domestic economy to consume
their own crap, but this is extremely difficult for them due to
political and economic structure (communism, cheap labor). Consumerism
won't work in China, so they need to figure out a way to survive in a
world without a US.
US has no way out. I've never met an American working a high-tech job
in America. Not one. Once the money runs out these guys will jump ship,
without question. Let the intelligent design graduates run the tech
sector LOL!

Yes that region was, is and always will be in a state of permanent
crisis. But it is not the reason why those empires fell. Those empires
rotted from the inside, like the US has. Soldiers too worried about
scarring their beautiful faces than to actually fight - a parasitical
majority with their self-appointed "birthright" to live off the labor
of others.

Suck you own dick all the time?
It is interesting to see that most folks
don't comprehend that the Class Wars are over,
( Left vs Right, Republicans vs Democrats, etc.)
and that the same gang that instigated the Class Wars of the 1900's,
is instigating the Religious Wars of the 2000's.
The gang that instigated the class wars of the 1900's,
migrated to Israel and New York,
after the Native Russians regained control of their government,
and they are using Israel and New York as bases
from where to instigate the religious wars of the 2000's,
as the loot from their class wars is almost gone.
As can be seen,
Bush is a willing participant in the war-for-profit and power game,
just as FDR was.
If FDR had gone after the war-for-profit gang
rather than getting in bed with them,
WWII would has lasted two months, and there would have been
no millions of deaths, no holocaust, no Cold War, no Korea, no Vietnam
, no nuclear weapons, no instigation of global religious war, etc.
If Bush had gone after the war-for-profit gang,
rather than getting in bed with them and Sharon,
there would have been no 911, no movement of America
toward a police and military state,
no loss of freedoms to Americans,
no danger to American's at home and abroad,
no shattering of the national budget,
no war on the Iraqi people,
with its' attendant cost, depletion of
non-renewable resources, environmental damage, etc,
no loss of trust by most nations of the world,
no hatred of America by hundreds of millions of Muslims,
no raid on Social Security,
no bankruptcy of major airlines,
no dollar flight,
no meltdown of the dollar,
no meltdown of America,
no weakening of the United Nations,
no weakening of NATO,
etc.
The major weakness of a democracy,
is that immoral, profiteering, manipulators
can effectively buy the government at a low price,
by finding politicians like Bush, Clinton, FDR, Blair, etc.
and giving them the financial and media support
they need to rise above the pack.
As Philip, Alexander the Great's father said,
"There are no city walls so strong,
that they cannot be breached,
if you can get a donkey load of gold up to the wall."
The same is true with a democracy such as America has,
and immoral manipulators steal gold from the masses,
and use the gold to buy more politicians.
So guys, wise up.
Get with the program.
Quit fighting the Class Wars, and
get with the Religious Wars.
You are now being conditioned to
hate folks based on their religion,
rather than based on their class.
Don't be so dense.
As can be seen,
Harry Hyena hanson
posts his regular boilerplate lies and insults,
as he always does when I point out that
a small gang instigated the Class Wars of the 1900's,
and that the same gang is instigating the Religious Wars of the 2000's.
Could it be that Harry Hyena hanson
is one of the War-For-Profit Gang,
or is he a Fellow Traveller,
or simply a dupe, like most folks who
are conditioned by the War-For-Profit media?
But that aside,
what makes people, like Harry Hyena hanson,
attack messengers with lies and personal attacks,
rather than addressing messages
in a rational, intelligent, moral, civilized way????
Is it nature (Genetic),
or is it nurture (Home, religion, environment)????
It would make for an interesting scientific study
to isolate the characteristics of the people
on the Internet who personally attack folks
in order to silence or discredit them.
Hopefully Google will add this
( Identifying the personal attackers.)
to the bag of tricks in the near future,
and it would be useful for Google to
allow users to ignore the posts
of these personal attackers.
Not only would be useful for readers to know who
attacks messengers rather than address messages,
but it would be helpful for voters and politicans
to understand the demographics of immoral, dishonest people,
so they can be prepared.
To be forewarned,
is to be prepared.
Rome didn't rot,
it self-distructed.
Rome was at its' heights before Julian attacked Persia.
Julian had stabilized northern Europe,
and in fact the best part of his army were Germans and Franks.
Persia had learned a lesson from their loss to
Alexander the Great, and they destroyed the Roman army by
not allowing them to live off the land.
They poisoned wells, destroyed food stocks,
and burned all fodder that could be used by the Romans
to feed their horses. The Romans had to resort to
eating their dying horses, and they retreated in disgrace
after Julian was killed, and yielded Armenia to Persia.
The Romans were brought down,
not by follow up from the victorious Persians,
but because they lost the respect of the world,
and many small nations and groups began to
nibble away at them.
IMMEDIATELY after the defeat of Julian's army.
Note that Bush has set the whole world into
nibbling away at America.
China and Russia are holding joint military exercises.
President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela will be looking for
other customers for his oil.
Europe and China are building their own GPS systems.
All nations are rearming and forming new alliances.
Bush made the same mistake that Julian and Croseus did.
He had little to gain by attacking Iraq,
and much to lose.

Surprisingly long. China has massive stake in this structure - chinese
wouldn't hand over $2.3 billion/day otherwise. Of course, when they
decide they no longer deem fit to expend their human resources for the

Bob Kolker
You speak as if you matter.
Bush isn't interested in catching Osama any more, but you're going to blame
anything Osama does on Clinton. Uh-huh.
From the General Tommy Franks, CIC Central Command, after the Cole attack:
http://news.findlaw.com/cnn/docs/crs/coleterrattck13001.pdf
The terrorism threat is endemic in the AOR, and USCENTCOM takes extensive
measures to protect our forces.... The threat situation was monitored
regularly in
Yemen and throughout the AOR. The intelligence community and USCENTCOM
consider this AOR a High Threat environment, and our assessments of the
regional
threat and the threat in Yemen were consistent in their evaluation. We had
conducted
a number of threat assessments in the port, and throughout the area.
However, leading
up to the attack on USS Cole on 12 October, we received no specific threat
information
for Yemen or for the port of Aden that would cause us to change our
assessment. Had
such warning been received, action would have been taken by the operating
forces in
response to the warning.
Lots of double-speak there. I'm not sure if that supports your point or
not.
Can't respond? THought so. Go ahead and put your fingers in your ears.
Kolker's been taking his history lessons from Fox News again.
> Bob Kolker
And here I thought Nazis and Islamic terrorists were two separate entities
in two entirely different time periods. Clinton protected America, and
warned Bush. Bush got the memo that said "Bin Laden determined to strike
within the United States." Bush's inaction on that report led to 3000 dead.
That cannot be pinned on Clinton, no matter how many times you righties
try - Bush was warned. And if we're going to go into the whole blame-game, a
President isn't responsbile for what happens on his watch, who the fuck
created Osama in the first place? That's right, the lovely duo of Reagan and
Bush in the 80s. Which kinda puts your "Ignorance of history" comment in
perspective. But Democrats believe the President, the current President, is
responsible for taking care of what happens on his watch. I mean, hell, are
we going to start blaming Truman or Eisenhower for our problems with Kim
Jong Ill? LOL.

Clinton was a worthless fraud - agreed - but considering that the

of "mushroom clouds over Washington", Clinton is not the biggest or
worst liar of a President that we have ever had...
Clinton lied about getting a honker in the oval office... Bush's lied

there is a slight difference of scale and severity between the two...

I disagree on this point. It is common knowledge that prior to 9/11
this Administration had discussed ways to go into Iraq on multiple
occasions. In "Plan of Attack" Bob Woodward QUOTES Bush as complaining
that the data on Iraq was 'thin'. There is NO presedent in history for
the Vice President "visiting" with the CIA TWICE prior to compiling the
"Chinese Menu" of evidence that was handed to to Powell for his U.N.
briefing. Powell and his aides spent 4 days arguing with the CIA on
evidence sited in the "menu" before he briefed the U.N. because they
thought the case was 'thin'. The administration fired the general who
told them that they would need 300,000+ troops and then sent Wolfowitz
to the hill to testify that the thing could be done with 60,000 troops,
would be over in a few months, and that Iraqi oil would pay for it
all... Nope, a lot of people in all the right places knew better
before this thing got started - they were ignored or mowed down.
At this point the President is making public jokes about the WMD
argument. Paul Wolfowitz has come out publicly and stated that the
only reason the WMD argument was made was because "we thought it had
the best chance of sticking". WTF else do you need for you to consider
that perhaps, maybe, the current President has moral character equal to
Clinton and that our motivations for going into Iraq had NOTHING to do
with 9/11 and everything to do with an agenda to which us lowly
taxpayers are not privy?
LOL Bin Laden went on national TV in 1997 and said "The U.S. will drive
them to transfer the battle into the United States",and he praised the
terrorist killings to date."
"I have great respect for the people who did this action," bin Laden told
CNN. "What they did is a great job and a big honor I missed participating
in."
What did Clinton do for those three years, oh thats right he had someone
write a memo.
Dont let the door him them in the ass on the way out.

I guess they do since they get America to pay for 25% of everything, they
pay less than one precent. The purpose of the whole damn place is to get
money from America tax payers
Mati Meron makes a good point!
If FDR and Churchill had not sold out to
the gang that was instigating the Class Wars of the 1900's,
WWII would has lasted two months, and there would have been
no millions of deaths, no holocaust, no Cold War, no Korea, no Vietnam
,
no nuclear weapons, no instigation of global religious war, etc.
As can be seen,
the same gang that instigated the Class Wars of the 1900's
are instigating the Religious Wars of the 2000's,
to get back in the chips as the loot from their Class Wars
is almost gone.
Bush is a willing participant in the war-for-profit and power game,
just as FDR was.
If Bush had gone after the war-for-profit gang,
rather than getting in bed with them and Sharon,
there would have been no 9/11, no movement of America
toward a police and military state,
no loss of freedoms to Americans,
no danger to American's at home and abroad,
no shattering of the national budget,
no war on the Iraqi people,
with its' attendant cost, depletion of
non-renewable resources, environmental damage, etc,
no loss of trust by most nations of the world,
no hatred of America by hundreds of millions of Muslims,
no raid on Social Security,
no bankruptcy of major airlines,
no dollar flight,
no meltdown of the dollar,
no meltdown of America,
no weakening of the United Nations,
no weakening of NATO,
etc.
The major weakness of a democracy,
is that immoral, profiteering, manipulators
can effectively buy the government at a low price,
by finding politicians like Bush, Clinton, FDR, Blair, etc.
and giving them the financial and media support
they need to rise above the pack.
As Philip, Alexander the Great's father said,
"There are no city walls so strong,
that they cannot be breached,
if you can get a donkey load of gold up to the wall."
The same is true with a democracy such as America has,
and immoral manipulators steal gold from the masses,
and use the gold to buy more politicians.
Or someone who sympathises with
the gang trying to instigate religious war
between Christians and Muslims.
As can be seen
the same gang that instigated the
Class Wars of the 1900's
migrated to New York and Israel (And Chicago),
after their Class Wars were discredited,
and the Native Russians regained control of their government,
and they are using these places as bases from which to
instigate the Religious Wars of the 2000's.
The question is:
Which side is Mati on?
Christians, Muslims, or outside agitating?????
It would be interesting to see
which group has more people in key places
in American government and defense industries,
and in the mass media.
I suggest that Harry Hyena hanson
is too IMMORAL and DISHONEST to apologize for
his persistent personal attacks, his threats,
and his constant lying.
Harry Hyena hanson gets all bent out of shape,
and goes ballistic, and spews the same boilerplate
lies, insults and threats, any time I point out
that the same gang that instigated the
Class Wars of the 1900's,
are trying to instigate the Religious Wars of the 2000's,
to get back in the chips as the loop from
their Class Wars is almost gone.
And note that Harry Hyena hanson
tries to intimidate me and others
by asserting that the new head of Homeland Security,
who is a Rabbi's son, will go after non-Jews.
Could it be that Harry Hyena hanson
is a member of the War-for_Profit gang,
or a fellow traveller of the gang,
or expects to benefit from their henious works?????
Or could it be that Harry Hyena hanson agrees with me,
and encourages me to post the message
he wants folks to hear?
I think that Harry Hyena hanson has joined with me
in trying to put the spotlight
on the gang that instigates conflict and war
for profit and power.
Thanks Harry!
It's you and me against the mass media.
( And the politicians who have sold out to the war-for-profit gang.)
You need to read more history; there is a direct connection.
I'm currently learning about more mess that wasn't cleaned
up at the end of WWII. I'm appalled.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But you miss the point in the above. In the context of what I wrote
it doesn't (repeat, it *****doesn't*****) matter whether there is a
connection. Totally, utterly irrelevant. What you've, is *the same*
situation, of a threat developing over time, being ignored, until
eventually the shit hits the fan. It wouldn't have mattered in the
least, for the example, if we would've chosen for comparison an
instance of a Roman emperor ignoring the growing power of some
barbarian tribe, with his successor being forced by events to deal
with the issue. Am I making myself clear enough? The inability to
perceive similarity of situations is a sign of a very feeble mind.
And, for the record, no, it is not that I'm trying to blame Clinton
here. "Blaming" is Monday morning quarterbacking, in general. After
untoward events happen, everybody and his uncle is eager to point out
that "if only such and such was done at such and such time, all this
mess could've been prevented." Well, duh.
The fact of the matter is that Islamic extremism was a growing menace
since the late 70s but it was not considered in the West as anything
more than small nuisance till 9/11. All the administrations during
this time frame saw it as, at most, a law enforcement issue. So,
precious little was done. Sure, committees were at times formed,
memos sent, declarations and recommendations issued, etc., but that's
not action, just going through the motions. Nobody was about to
engage in acton involving significant effort and the expenditure of
significant political capital (not to mention real capital) absent a
perception of urgency, and this perception just wasn't there.
So, I'm not about to single Clinton for blame. But I'm also not about
to buy moronic statements along the lines of "Clinton kept us safe,
Bush didn't" because these are the exact equivalent of somebody in
Britain, 50 years ago, claiming that "Baldwin kept us safe, Churchill
didn't".

Tom, you twitt, you're not putting any spotlight on anything new.
To the issue that you are a moron with your instigator boiler
plate turds, let me just say that nobody gives a shit about your
century old gangs etc, when millions and millions of people in
the US see the up-to date, current version of it in living color,
on the Right wing Fox channel to the liberal TV net works
REPEATEDLY and as soon as they occur, in items like this:
== On July 10th, 2005, 3 days after the terror attacks on London
Fox News aired PM Tony Blair as saying that the conflict between
Israeli Jews and Palestinians is the underlying cause of terrorism.
== As far back as the beginning of the Clinton admin there were
Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Rob Loewenberg,
David Wurmser and Meyrav Wurmser and other Neocons (a code
word for Jews) in the Bush admin who goaded the prez to go into
Iraq. Once that took place the pressure from Saddam onto Israel
was gone,... and promptly those same Jewish factions got luke
warm and then openly anti-war. Your Krauts have a proverb for it:
-------- "Für das Gewesene gibt the Jude nichts" ---------
== In the May 2005 "60 Minutes" interview by Mike Wallace,
Prez Vlad Putin stated that "All the looters were Jews" when
the USSR disintegrated and its the Treasury was looted.....
Wallace, a Jew himself, looked rather pleased if not proud....
but, interestingly in a re-broadcast on July 31, 2005 Wallace
did NOT repeat this video segment, but instead offered only a
watered down audio comment about these Russian "oligarchs"....
== The Euros and Ruskies do not like the Arabs. The Euros and
Ruskies hate Jews more than they hate Arabs. Which is the REAL
reason why the Euros and Ruskies are not with us in Iraq.
== Brittan's Royal Prince Harry wore a Nazi uniform with Swastika
to a party. The Jewish "Tolerance" museum demanded
that he repent by visiting Auschwitz. (CNN/Fox Jan.13, 2005)
== In the US, Xian churches, i.e. the Presbyterians do officially
criticize Israel & US Jews for their practices in Palestine and they
have begun to divest their holdings from anything that has to do
with Jews and Israel. In response they got a terrorist threat from
Queens, NY, that their churches will burn when people are in it.
(CNN Nov.14, 2004).
== The Israeli army opens probe into claims that Jewish soldiers
mutilated/abused corpses of Palestinians. (CNN-HLN Nov.19, 2004)
== Grand Jury proceedings have been initated against someone in
Rumsfeld's office for spying for Israel, using the offices of the US-
Israel Public Affairs Commitee, AIPAC, which the FBI had raided
in August 2004. (CNN-HLN, Dec. 01, 2004)
== The parents of a US-born Jewish teen killed by Palestinian militants
near a West Bank bus stop eight years ago call for a $156 million
federal court award against three Islamic charities.(12-09-04, NPR)
== At least 5 Israeli Banks, e.g. Leumi Bank, have & are still holding
onto hundreds of millions of $ deposited by Holocaust victims in
1930-40 and now still refuse to pay these depositors or their heirs.
(CNN-HLN & Fox, Feb. 04, 2005)
== Your B'nai Brith bitterly whined earlier this year (04) that there are
300'000 fever Jews in the US, in the year 2000 then there were in
1970. It was on CNN for a whole week. ....... Take a hint!, Potter...
So, Tom-Tom you stupid near coprolite could you at least up-date
your own outdated moronic boiler plate to the heuristic, current state?
and mention your instigators by name, creed and ethnicity, and not
trying to hide like a five year old having been caught with his pants
down disavowing your real intents with your feeble excuse that
"Not all Jews are.... ". Read some Einstein history, Crackpotter,
and see where Einstein, the Jew, said that "ALL Germans are
responsible for Hitler's deeds" ... and then perhaps have the
chutzpah and do the same because what's good for the goose
is good for the gander... but, naturally you are a coward because
you are afraid of and terrified by the Jews... AHAHAHA..
Can you geriatric moron see that there is absolutely NO anti-
Semitism in all that? --- It is simply regurgitating what Jews
themselves have publicly/officially written & broadcast in the US.
ahahahaha... AHAHAHA...
So, Tom what is exactly your hang-up or fetish, you pinko Turd?.
--- There's a real world out there, Potter. Here and now. ----
Take care you stupid shit and enjoy your aberrant weltbild
and thanks for all the laughs...... ahahahaha... AHAHAHA, but
------------- Potter listen and listen good: ------------
---- APOLOGIZE, NOW, to the ladies, the prez & the nation ----
ahahaha.... ahahanson
As can be seen,
VRWC Destruction Machine does not know that
the Class Wars are over,
and that now, the conflict instigators
are trying to condition folks to hate other folks
of different religions,
rather than folks of different classes.
Some people have so much mental inertia,
that they lag behind in the past,
and have difficulty adapting to changing times.
Apparently VRWC Destruction Machine
is unable to comprehend that the
same gang that instigated the Class Wars of the 1900's
migrated to Israel and New York,
after their Class Wars were discredited,
and the Native Russians regained control of their nation,
and they are using these new bases from which to
instigate the Religious Wars of the 2000's,
to get back in the chips,
as the loot from their Class Wars is almost gone.
Get with the program, VRWC Destruction Machine.
Change your handle to
something that reflects hatred toward Muslims,
rather than hatred of folks of a different class.
Here's an idea for your new handle:
The Muslim Fanatical Bombers Destruction Machine
"VMFB Destruction Machine"
Go to it boy!!!!
You and Superman go get those bad guys!
I thought I told you to stop buying your meds from your local street
chemist. Try a pharmacy, druggy.
Spoken like a true Communist.

It is not irrelavant if one is trying to learn how not to make
the same mistake again. IOW, I'm trying to figure out how
to define the complete mess and then figure out how to clean
it up such that it will not occur. I realize this is quite
naive of me; this is how I approach learning enough about a
problem before I solve it.

Most are still trying to squeeze the situation into a law

"fair" is doing this.

The USA will have to endure that moronic party line because it
is the central plank of the Democrat platform at the moment.
In my studying, I'm trying to find patterns of statesmanship
attitudes. Now this may be a futile hypothesis; I've already
thrown out one of them about dealing with the impending mess.
The thing I'm watching now is how news reporters have turned
their boredom with hanging around a Texas ranch into a
feeding frenzy of an anti-Western-civilization demonstration.
/BAH
It is interesting to see
that although "VRWC Destruction Machine"
has been throughly conditioned to relate to folks in terms of class and
religion by the gang that instigates conflict and war for power and
riches,
she is unaware that she has been conditioned, and by whom.
Also note that she is unaware that the war-for-profit gang
has a long history of buying and/or intimidating leaders,
( And assassinating and demonizing those leaders who couldn't be bought
or intimidated.) and that Lenin, Stalin, FDR and many others including
many American politicians, including George Bush sold out to the
war-for-profit gang.
As can be seen by history and current events,
the war-for-profit gang instigated the Class Wars of the 1900's,
and after their Class Wars were discredited,
and the native Russians regained control of their government,
they relocated to Israel and New York, from where
they are instigating the Religious Wars of the 2000's.
Note that "VRWC Destruction Machine" is still fighting the Class Wars,
and is unaware that the Class Wars are over,
and that she is being conditioned to hate folks because of religion,
rather than class.
I suggest that she should change her sig to something like
"The Muslim Fanatical Bombers Destruction Machine" to get in sync with
the times.
Of course, the war-for-profit gang can only succeed,
when it can dupe ignorant, easily-conditioned people like "VRWC
Destruction Machine" to hate folks they would otherwise get along with
just fine,
and buy and intimidate politicians like Bush, Blair, FDR, Lenin, etc.
As Philip, Alexander the Great's father said,
"There are no city walls so strong,
that they cannot be breached,
if you can get a donkey load of gold up to the wall."
The same is true with a democracy such as America has,
and immoral manipulators steal gold from the masses,
and use the gold to buy more politicians,
and use mass media to brainwash ignorant dupes.
Can you imagine what "VRWC Destruction Machine"
would be parroting if the Palestinians, Chinese,
Blacks, Muslims, etc. bombarded her with phrases.
No, ignorant dupes are "supposed to"
parrot what they are conditioned to by the mass media.
Rational, intelligent, unbiased, moral folks
are "supposed to" input data,
and correlate it in order to determine causes and effects.
As I mentioned,
if you have been brainwashed to hate the U.N.,
or if you have rationally come to the conclusion
that the U.N. is not in the best interests of the U.S.,
then you should work to get the U.N. moved to China,
as I am sure that China would love to have the U.N.
located there.
Quit tilting widdmills, use your time productively
and start posting that the U.N. should be moved out of
America and to China.
You are truly an M&M, marxist and a moron. You'd be best in saving
your diatribes for the other brainwashed M&Ms.
The U.N. is just a meeting place where diplomats can hold cocktail
parties. They have banquets with the best of everything while people
starve around the world. The U.N. has never brokered a peaceful
solution. When the going gets tough, the U.N. gets going.
>Quit tilting widdmills, use your time productively

I've said that many times in the past. I guess they don't have usenet

Why Software Is Bad and What We Can Do to Fix It:
http://www.rebelscience.org/Cosas/Reliability.htm
As P.T. Barrum said:
"You can fool all of the people some of the time,
and some of the people all of the time,
but you can't fool all of the people, all of the time."
As can be seen by her parroting
VRWC Destruction Machine is one of those people
who can be easily conditioned,
and "fooled all of the time."
It is interesting to see that the old conditioning
of VRWC Destruction Machine about hating folks
of different "classes' has not been totally overcome
by her new new conditioning to hate folks because
of their religion.
Get with the program VRWC Destruction Machine!!!!
The Class Wars are over and discredited.
The gang that instigates conflict and war for profit
is now conditioning you and other easily brainwashed dupes
to hate folks of a different religion.
Change your handle to:
"The Fanatical Muslim Bomber Destruction Machine",
and begin to think on your own,
rather than parroting media brainwashing.
Of course, as one of the
"can be fooled ALL of the time" crowd,
you have to live with who and what you are.
It looks to me like
VRWC Destruction Machine
has been spending too much time watching TV,
and thinking about turnip trucks.
I, for one, can't see why she is so hostile
toward turnips, turnip trucks, the folks who
work in the turnip inductry, of the transportation
companies that deliver turnips to the folks who like turnips.
I wonder if she gets just as emotional and hostile toward
potatoe, corn, carrot, etc. people and industries?
It seems to me,
that as a well conditioned zombie
who has been condition to parrot slogans and phrases,
that VRWC Destruction Machine,
should act, rather than parrot,
and she should spend her time
promoting the movement of the United Nations
out of America and to some place, like the Pudong.
Act!
Don't be a brainwashed parrot,
that can only repeat the phrases that it has been conditioned to.
Work hard and long and RATIONALLY
to get the United Nations moved out of America,
and to China.
In other words,
focus on what needs to be done.
Then use RATIONAL arguments to make your case,
rather than parroting what you have been conditioned to.
And don't be so hostile toward the turnip folks.
They, like the carrot folks,
are providing goods to folks that like those goods.
If you don't like turnips.
Don't eat them.
Yes. And the collapse pf tzarist Russia. And of the Austro-Hungarian
empire. All those left debris which is still unsettled today.

Sorry. I had intended to write more but a squirrel and I were
having discussions all morning long.
Let me try to explain how I'm trying to teach myself about
this politics, statemanship and foreign policy stuff. I am
working on the assumption that state department decisions
(which includes some expression of the country's foreign
policy at that moment) have an effect later in time.
So what I'm doing is essentially what we called a Post Partum
Review which was to examine the things that worked, the
things that didn't work, and figure out how to make the next
project go smoother without the hitches. There was a
general or somebody who looked at the treaty at the end
of WWI and could immediately state that there would be
a WWII. My goal is to learn enough so I can be able
to do the same.
I am not blaming a president for the purpose of crying
over spilt milk. I am trying to identify which
decisions were woodenheadedness and/or wrongheadedness
and be able to make a prediction of the general trends
of politics and foreign policy.
My approach may be completely wrong. I am repeating the
pattern that we did at work.
I still cannot figure out how foreign policy gets made.
I can't identify statemanship if it bit me on the nose.

I'm finally hearing more talks on CSPAN about this blind spot.

aren't paying any attention to the real enemy until it gets
locked up on Guantanamo. None of them (and this is not
an exaggerated statement) think about the actual enemy.

There hasn't been any books about them at the dump which is
curious. I've been seeing if there was some correlation between
an x and a y based on the types of books and information that
people are dumping there. Something that is disturbing is that
~3% of the material is now religious propoganda.

The approach isn't wrong, per se, but the systems you're dealing with
here are incomparably more complicated than the ones you had at work
and the goals are much less clearly defined. And, there are
constrains which often make rational decision making nearly
impossible. Ironically it appears that democracies as severly
handicapped in this respect. There is hardly any doubt that the
autocrats who met in Vienna at the close of the Napoleonic wars, did
much better job at peacemaking than did the envoys of democracies at
Versailles. The first had only to follow their political goals, the
later ones had to placate the public opinion at home as well. And
said public opinion demanded a pint of blood and a pound of flesh.
>
But that's an aside. There are, however, some oitfals you've to watch
for, in your endevour. A commonly held view (and one I want to warn
you against) is that in every situation
a) There exists a "good path", one which resolves the existing
problems without creating other ones
and
b) Said good path can be identified based on the information at hand
(and not just in retrospect).
So, remember, nice as these assumptions are, there is no proof that
they're in general correct. Thus, even if you identify some past
decision as being responsible for later time mess, this doesn't
automatically mean that the decision was wrongheaded. It may well be
that there was no possible decision which wouldn't have resulted in a
mess.

Yes, it is not exaggerated. You know well that I pretty much gave up
on the western intelligentsia during the last few years. Turns out
that it is not a "pinnacle of western civilization", a parasitic
growth is more like it.

Same here
As can be seen
VRWC Destruction Machine
has been well conditioned to react to input emotionally,
and to respond with boilerplate.
Also note that her handle indicates that
she has been so well conditioned,
that is lagging behind in accepting new conditioning.
In other words, the Class Wars are foremost in her mind,
even though the gang that uses mass communications
( TV, movies, radio, "Ann Coulter columns", etc. )
realizes that their Class Wars have been discredited,
and they are now working to con American Blacks,
Rednecks and Latinos, into sacrificing their
lives, liberties and fortunes to kill folks
of a different religion, rather than a different class.
I suggest that VRWC Destruction Machine
should and update her handle to something like:
"The Fanatical Muslim Destruction Machine".
And she should not get all bent out of shape
and take her frustrations out on turnips,
turnip trucks, and the folks who work hard
to provide turnips to the folks who like them.
Better yet,
VRWC Destruction Machine
should quit fantasizing that she is some
sort of Lara Croft out to save the world
from those heinous turnips.

You are now being conditioned to hate folks

I don't expect predicting trends or consequences to be accurate
in any way. "Accuracy" happens when stuff gets fine-tunes
as the time period approaches. I'm putting this badly but
I can't think of a better way to explain it.

Heh, in theory we had well-defined goals. I know what you're
saying and didn't have any intention of playing the "I'm right
and he's wrong" games. I'm doing this as a learning tool which
also has the secondary goal of laying groundwork for preparation
of mess prevention and cleanup.

Of course. Our biz had that, too. There were times
when rational decision making was impossible because of
external events, internal woodenheadedness, an undigested
piece of grizzle, and everything else.

Yes. Democracy is a committee of a million. Representative
democracy reduces that to ~1000 who are tied, by design, to
the million by discourse. When the million becomes newly-monied,
they have the idea that they're a boss rather than a peon. Now
they try to emulate their idea of a king which is taken directly
out of fairy tales that ignore politics, kingdom security and
administration.

Oh, no; it is definitely a crap shoot. However, those whose
thinking has been patterned in a certain subject matter, can
make educated guesses and change them automatically when new
"data" comes in.

All decisions create messes. I'd like to choose which mess I have
to clean up.
W.r.t. woodenheadedness, I want to be able to identify it
in the statesmanship and political bizes. I am so ignorant
about these aspects such that I couldn't identify a blunder
if it hit me on the nose.

Yes. It's on my list. I'm not sure it will tell me what
I want to know. I still don't have any idea how (e.g.) a
piece of policy gets implemented. There has to be a work flow
involved where person X does foo which causes groups bar and baz
to do more things. And there has to be a feedback path.
I just have no idea of the work involved.

I consider it more like a cancer; a living pattern grown out

Sorry. This religious crap isn't thrown away but is getting
seeded there. I think that's significant.

Yes. I understand. I can tell if somebody is emptying their
bookshelves, what they did for a living (almost) and lots
of other stuff. There is also indications (flimsy but still
data with a lot of error bars) of knowledge that people think
is no longer valid. I see this more at the library in the
books that they're dumping.
There are a lot of other things I can guess, mind you...guess, but
I can't recall what they are now.

Good.
Good point!
For example,
Cindy Sheehan, who's son died in "Operation Oil Grab",
and 60% plus of the American people,
and perhaps 80% of the world's people,
oppose "Operation Oil Grab"
( And the numbers are growing daily.),
and think that the 200,000 Americans involved in the war,
should be home, or at least in places like New Orleans,
defending and repairing the infrastructure.
It is interesting to see that a small percentage
of the population is making a big noise about
"You don't speak for us Cindy Sheehan."
"You don't speak for us American majority."
"You don't speak for us World Community."
Democracy is about listening to the majority,
and not allowing demagogues and vocal minorities
do great harm to the majority.
Hopefully, in time,
the American majority will be able to see that justice is done,
and the people responsible for the death of Cindy Sheehan son,
and the hundreds of other Americans, and the thousands of Iraqi's,
and the waste of untold billions of dollars,
and the squandering of untold irreplaceable resources,
and destruction of priceless, ancient artifacts,
will be turned over to American and International Courts
to be tried for their crimes against the majority of humanity.
In the final accounting,
the majority of humanity will say loud and clear,
"You don't speak for us George Bush."
"You don't speak for us Tony Blair."
"You don't speak for us aggressive, vocal minority."
"You don't speak for us Texas oil billionaires."
"You don't speak for us war-for-profit instigators."

That was a mocking statement. Our "goals" never matched reality.
Some days it was physics changing them (c is too slow), or hardware types
removing done interrupts from the gear or marketing idiots
selling what we didn't have...stuff like that. I realize ours
was less complex but only due to the fact there wasn't
a gazillion people involved at the boss level.

Oh,yes. I understand that, too. There is also the complication

Since we now have instant messaging, nobody gets to practice
being a statesman on his own like in the "bad" ol' days
where the diplomat has a general outline and his job is
to fill in the gaps as best as he knows how given the
circumstances he's living in.

I know. This also has to be a part of my approach. I dealt
with this, too when laying out the specs to my bit flows.

Or not choosing. That's the hardest to deal with, IMO.

I assumed this.

I'm finding clues. Somebody dumped their library that had
lots of "foreign policy of the US" books. I'm presuming
that these writeups were part of the feedback input used back then.
Copyright dates are late 70s, early 80s. There is also volumes
of tables of food and industry production/country that I haven't
figured out how to use. There used to be a book that you order
from your Washington Rep that also published the latter stuff
in addition to other things. I'm reading a book that happens
to mention other kinds of books that were a Sear-Roebuck catalog
of shit-kickin' weapons.
All of this stuff was a part of the basic reading material of
anybody running a governement.
I'm also picking up books at the dump that talks about monied
people. They were nuts. My definition of "monied" is incorrect.
I'm beginning to consider the word "royalty". I don't know if
you are able to understand what I mean; I don't how to put the
notions in words yet.
Very interesting. I'm not sure how long this pattern should
last before I can or cannot dismiss it. Right now I'm just
noting the changes in a pattern.

Yea. It is going to be interesting when independent-thinking
SOBs decide that they need to pay attention to politics
because the people they hired aren't doing the job at all.
Watch Mass. Voters are almost to the "That's IT!" level
of annoyance.

Do it, Potter... do it... then your assassination obsession will go away

You are a charicature of a brainwashed Marxist. You mentioning a

copying and pasting your response with Marxist class warfare
bullshit. This not the Potemkin, komrade kook.
