'The Ron Paul Nation', by Jay Roberts ; LewRockwell.com , October 2, 2007:

"" A frequent topic of discussion is about how Ron Paul is ignored or dismissed by the smug MSM and other establishment elites. This is all true, and is clearly at their peril, but not only for the specifics of Ron Paul's message or the number of his supporters. The fact that the campaign seemingly materialized out of thin air and promptly began registering real world accomplishments is the first shot in what will prove to be a protracted evolution of the mechanisms of governance. The organization of the Ron Paul campaign is demonstrating that the corporate and government monopoly on, well, corporatism and governance, is weakening. The general population has just now been armed with digital weapons that allow them to challenge anointed power structures and the Ron Paul campaign is evidence that they aren't wasting any time getting to work.

"simply too many instances of absurd foreign policy"

'Foreign Policy: The Production of Folly', by Michael S. Rozeff ; LewRockwell.com ;
September 28, 2007:

"" There are simply too many instances of absurd foreign policy produced by our government (and others) not too conclude that the production process itself produces continuing debacle. Any history book witnesses the senseless results. A centenarian can look back at two massively engulfing world wars and such other large-scale conflicts as the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Iran-Iraq War, the French Indochina War, the French-Algerian War, the Russian-Afghanistan War, the Franco-Spanish-Moroccan (Riffian) War, and now the Iraq War.

The unreasonableness of foreign policy is evidenced by the immense squandering of human life and wealth, by devastating wars, interventions gone awry, development programs that hold back progress, and diplomatic ineptitude that creates enemies rather than friends. First the U.S. supports and arms Saddam Hussein. Then it becomes embroiled in a long struggle to undo him and the Baathist Party. First the U.S. supports, trains, and arms Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan, only to find that he is an enemy whose designs do not exclude nuclear attack on the U.S.

Without too much exaggeration, we can say that we never get a reasonable foreign policy (the exceptions being so few that we may ignore them). This is as sure a fact as gravitational force. ""

'Islamic Ways for the Future' #1000
< Time to face up to the gravity of the credit crisis
Wednesday, September 12, 2007 1:59:36 PM

[Tsai 07.9.12=3 #1] It seems to me it's worthwhile to ponder:
1. Do we need some drastic changes away from our idiotic conditions?
2. If so, how to get to it?
3. And, to achieve it without extreme violence and inhumanity?
4. One example to do it is the Islamic subversion of the West!
5. My conclusion: that's why it WORKS!
6. If even the EU ways couldn't do it, what elese could we hope for, besides the Islamic way?

Re's wild fantasies overlook a few fairly major points: firstly that Muslims represent maybe 1/20th of Europe's population - that's probably less than even the homosexual population. Even where they're clumped together in large groups (like Bradford in the UK) they STILL represent a minority group. Secondly that Europe is the centre of what is the Islamic equivalent of Protestantism - a modernising trend within the religion - and thirdly, that there ISA no monolithic religion called "Islam" What stands out about Iraq for example is that two different groups - Sunni and Shia - are attempting to exterminate each other. The Saudis are at the centre of Sunni Islam, the Iranians at the centre of Shia Islam. As with most religions, BOTH groups concern themselves far more with "heretics" (which they see each other to be) than with mere unbelievers. Very reminiscent of Soviet Russia... which believed at its core in the "Inevitable Triumph of Scientific Socialism".. . but were deeply worried that it might be the WRONG flavour of Marxism - Tito's or maybe Mao's that triumphed rather than their own.

If Muslims breed like rabbits, then it's STILL going to take them many generations before they stop being a very small minority.And by then... they'll probably have been "diluted" anyway. Religion's a strange thing... back when India was partitioned, there was violent debate as to whether it should be split into two... or three, along loosely religious lines. Sikhs lost out on getting their own nation state - but they killed and were killed - in substantial numbers during the last days of British colonial rule. I had dinner at a Sikh friend's house last week. "Sikhs DON'T drink beer" Jazz told me... as he opened two bottles of lager - one for him, and one for me. Sikhs don't eat meat either.. but we ate lamb curry. It's a lot harder to be a zealot when the people around you AREN'T. "Backsliding" becomes routine. Rene's boggey-men are a minority within a minority. Sure, they make a lot of noise... but so what?

If you put a line of six billiard balls (or equally well, pool balls) in as perfectly straight a line as you can manage, and then strike the one at one end of the line so that it hits the next, and the next hits the third and so on...where the sixth ball goes is not something you'd want to speculate upon. In theory, all six balls head in the same direction. In practise however the line won't be perfectly straight and each ball will hit the next one increasingly wide of dead centre. It's a good illustration of what happens when you try to make predictions about what will happen even to subjects whose behaviour isn't governed by simple rules: There are FAR too many uncertainties involved in what Rene attempts to present almost as a foregone conclusion. As Rab has already pointed out... his assertion is a quite different thing to reality. Islam isn't unchanging nor is it unchangeable. ..

But the implosion of the US credit system isn't "speculation. It's already started happening, and it's well documented. In the ame way as you might not know exactly hih direction a rollinmg boulder is going to travel, nonetheless you cn be sure it'll be in a "downhill" direction, so too has this implosion been inevitable for many months. And the puzzling thing is that it leaves the USA totally vulnerable to people it claims are its deadliest enemies. People who have the power to viciously kick their self-declared enemy when it's down and vulneable - which it most assuredly IS right now - have withheld their option to do so. Which calls into question the many wild claims made by the USA about how it's a "poor innocent victim and permanently under threat from unreasonable people".

My answer to Ro.:

[Tsai 07.9.12=3 #2] Who are the "deadliest enemies" of the USA, who "have withheld their option to" "viciously kick their self-declared enemy when it's down and vulneable - which it most assuredly IS right now - have withheld their option to do so"?

"" With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the United States stood tall — militarily invincible, economically unrivalled, diplomatically uncontestable, and the dominating force on information channels worldwide. ""... ...

"" Yet, with not even a decade of this century behind us, we are already witnessing the rise of a multipolar world in which new powers are challenging different aspects of American supremacy — Russia and China in the forefront, with regional powers Venezuela and Iran forming the second rank. These emergent powers are primed to erode American hegemony, not confront it, singly or jointly. ""

This disparate challenge to American global primacy stems as much from sharpening conflicts over natural resources, particularly oil and natural gas, as from ideological differences over democracy, American style, or human rights, as conceived and promoted by Western policy-makers. Perceptions about national (and imperial) identity and history are at stake as well. ""

Book Description

Younger understands, as few others can, our potential for violence. The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction means that any nation, group, or even individual could cause unimaginable carnage. And the accelerating pace of communications and transportation mean that things can happen faster than we can think about them. Looking across our knowledge of psychology, history, politics, and technology, Younger presents a convincing argument that we can escape our spiral into global destruction. But we haven’t a moment to lose. ""
