A THOUSAND SACRIFICIAL LAMBS FOR THANKSGIVING

Two posts, today. This and one below.
Heading above from link following.
Need I say more??
Where is the OUTCRY??
OUTRAGE?? INDIGNATION?? Hue and cry??
Where is there even recognition??
Here, I mean, or, anywhere else?
OUTRIGHT, BLATANT, BARBARIC, NAZI TERROR TECHNIQUES, POLITICAL PERSECUTION, EXECUTIONS, ASSASSINATIONS, MURDER, TORTURE, MAYHEM!!
Not a word of objection or recognition uttered here.
So, I say to all our "Good German" ostriches, here and everywhere, abroad, who cares a shit about your jobs, pensions, homes, schools, education!
If you get kicked in the collective asses, you deserve it.
You work hard to obtain and live in a state of perpetual denial and collective, mass collaboration, especially, of course, here.
Now, turn around and go kick your Fascist unions and their NAZI Democratic partners in the ass.
HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!!
Until then, do not concern others with your trials and tribulations:

And, then, below...

CALIFORNIA STUDENT STRIKES and IRAQ

In the world's greatest United Suckers and Assholes Homeland State of California, some major demonstrations and protests occurred last week concerning a 1/3 tuition fee hike in their higher, State, educational university system, its overall privatization and concomitant labor issues.
Instructors, professors, students, labor, other sympathizers walked out of classes, picketed, boycotted, barricaded, got arrested, etc.
Presented here are some of the issues involved, in two separate links, so you can contrast and compare, if you wish.
I especially prefer the first link below, however, because of the cynical audacity and hypocrisy represented by our newfound AFT labor leader's MILITANCY, neglecting, forgetting to mention that former AFT President Albert Shanker FIRST championed privately operated "public" charter schools, thus, helping erode, weaken public education (I will post/link to Shanker's position on Charter Schools in a footnote at the end), AND, the AFT proudly advertises their covert support for their anti-Communist trade union movements abroad in Eastern Europe, like Poland, and elsewhere, in their quarterly glossy publication, AND, the AFT ACTIVELY, like all other AFL-CIA unions, supported/s our current NAZI Democratic Obooma Dictatorship, AND, they subsequently, like all other unions, did NOTHING to oppose, but, instead, SUPPORTED NAZI Citigroup/Exxon/Morgan Obooma's bogus stimulus, tax gift, giveaways, boondoggles, AND, of course, ALSO, ALL, including the AFT, invest their pension funds in the same multinational private corporations supposedly screwing them and ALL OF US AND, of course, they have done nothing to support, but, actively subvert, instead, Single Payer medical insurance.
But, no matter these fundamental contradictions.

Now, THEY are the ones directly screwed and are asking us for support!!
Of course, one must realize still this is NOT FREE higher education about which we are talking, as you will see below.
It is a hybrid system of private and State subsidized higher education at significantly less cost than the outright private schools, which, by the way, often get federal and/or local tax subsidies in a variety of ways with NO objections from ANY named above.
In other words, a two tiered and separate but unequal private versus public educational system, as in most else.

So, returning to below, like our recent, aborted, Philadelphia transit strike, what will they win??
What will they accomplish??

And, more importantly, HOW??

Well, they really have no power, both in the literal and figurative sense of the word.
The whole point of this exercise is to get rid of the state's obligation for public education.
This is Fascism.
This is THEIR goal.
The untermenschen, useless eaters, redundant labor force, which they represent, do not count.
They are irrelevant. Meaningless.

So, if they object, boycott, stay home, protest, etc., that suits the Fascists just fine, precisely their objective.
Who hurts most by NOT participating?
Themselves.
Does commerce, industry and production, essential services come to a standstill?
Grind to a halt??
So, who gives a shit, except themselves, of course.

Where is their leverage??
Now, IF our institutional, organized labor class representatives were PRINCIPLED and NOT contradictory, and, united, unified in ALL THINGS PUBLIC, supporting, demanding, protecting, defending, advancing, on a national and local level, Single Payer Health Care, public PENSION funding, public education, transportation, nationalized industry, resources, then, they would have total and complete support, leverage, sympathy, etc.
But, not this way.
What IF they combine actions and issues to DEMAND NATIONAL SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE AND PUBLIC EDUCATION??
It's a rhetorical question, suggestion.
Obviously, they will NOT, for all the reasons stated.
So, too bad if they lose their jobs, education, union negotiated private medical insurance and pension funds.

C'est la vie.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Perhaps, they can apply for new jobs in the burgeoning, new, Middle East empire and transforming, privatizing bubble their NAZI Citigroup/Exxon/
Morgan Obooma Dictatorship stimulus and tax dollar giveaways are supporting and subsidizing.
Or, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, those many places around the globe they helped, and, continue covert and overt counter-revolutionary, Fascist collaboration, to liberate from the yoke of Communist oppression and Dictatorship:

http://www.democracynow.org/2009/11/20/students

And:

http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/11/18/18629164.php

UNTIL AND UNLESS their/our OWN, domestic, institutionalized, class, labor union policies represented ABOVE are confronted, challenged, directly, changed, altered, significantly, the imperialist project and contradictions, abroad, represented in Iraq, below, BY ALL IMPERIALIST POWERS COMBINED, will CONTINUE UNABATED.
They will NOT be challenged at home in any meaningful, significant way.
The stakes are simply TOO HIGH, ENORMOUS.
They will fight to their deaths and ultimate extinction, like the dinosaurs.
Domestic and foreign policy and POWER, LEVERAGE is inextricably intertwined.
If you exercise NO progressive, positive power, influence, leverage, at home, then, you cannot be expected to exercise power, leverage, abroad to influence events progressively, positively.
The domestic and foreign power relationship of organized labor is congruent, not schizophrenic, the latter being contingent upon the former.

So, while the broader Middle East KRG/Baghdad/Iran conundrum, IMPEDIMENT grinds inexorably forward and is NOT overtly stated, discussed below, indeed, assiduously avoided, it is clear to me the outcome is a pre-determined one, implied by some of the names of the discussants in the following in conjunction with overlapping information on my previous posts.
One can expect NO help from ANYONE here, since the handmaidens of the anti-Communist Left abroad and at home are busy diverting every one's attention away from the power realities represented above, thus, avoiding, preventing, any internal major policy, power confrontation, showdown or shift.
Instead, the ersatz, CIA, manufactured Left here continues their assigned job diverting attention away from the above, for example, onto their favorite, constructed morality tale of the omnipotent, big, BAD, Jews/Zionist conspiracy, Lobby, and Good, poor, suffering Palestinians, (David and Goliath), in reality, vassal states and peoples BOTH, victims all, caught in the Great Power imperialist game above and below, thus, cynically, opportunistically manipulated and exploited by the bogus, "humanitarian" Left for their own ulterior purposes, conveniently ignoring the following:

www.iraqoilforum.com

And, here's the FOOTNOTE to which I referred above regarding former AFT President Shanker and his position on privately operated, but, so-called, public, charter schools, i.e., public/private partnerships, like our proposed publicly subsidized, but, for profit, PRIVATE health insurance options:

http://www.aft.org/topics/charters/

THEN AND NOW

I had planned initially to begin today's post on an international theme.
But, then, I came across the report, below, first link, about United Suckers and Assholes AFL-CIO (CIA) umbrella labor organization and Single Payer Medical insurance.
It is/was so stupendous, mindboggling, jawdropping, despicable, incredulous, ludicrous that I laughed out loud and HAD to comment, first, on it, instead.
How can ANYONE take these people below seriously?
IS IT ANY WONDER NOBODY HERE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT OUR CORRUPT LABOR UNIONS and almost everyone outside hates their guts??
THEY ARE THE/AN IMPEDIMENT, OBSTACLE.
This is MY simple, obvious answer to the idiots who could and still can not understand why Sarah Palin and her family became and still DO represent MORE GENUINE working class symbols then the assholes supposedly representing them/us below.
If ever there is/was a perfect example of the WHY and HOW and TORTURED LOGIC, REASONS, EXCUSES NO CHANGE OCCURS/WILL OCCUR in United Suckers and Assholes greatest NAZI Dictatorship on the planet, IT IS BELOW.
PERFECT EXAMPLE.
Just read these blatant, absolute, outright LIES, intellectual sophistry, lame excuses, justifications, threats, arm twisting, intimidation and rationalizations for UNPRINCIPLED CLASS COMPROMISE, OPPORTUNISM, FASCIST COLLABORATION AND APPEASEMENT!!
And, then, to top it off, THE END, the conclusion!!
The audacity of these people is overwhelming!!
Alice in Wonderland through the Looking Glass Darkly.
Where else, but, here??
Oh, yes...there is someplace else, following just below this pristine example:

http://www.labornotes.org/blogs/2009/11/should-single-payer-activists-back-down

And, now, to the OTHER place alluded to above, and, what I initially planned to begin this post.
Generally, I feature videos at the end of a post.
But, in this instance, I wish to begin with a very, very BRIEF video link, a reminder, juxtaposition of THEN...:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IGbjPqFFvA&feature=related

...And NOW:

http://johnhelmer.net/?p=2196#more-2196

Of course, more exquisitely tortured sellouts and selloffs featured on the above website.

Meanwhile, as for the Middle East, Iran/Baghdad/KRG imperialist mopping up, conundrum, showdown, regime change, congruency scenario, the following events will impact forthcoming regional explosive developments. Note, the appointment and posts, mentioned below, come into effect as of December 1, altho the new EU President is effective January 1, while imperialist jockeying and rivalry for place, advantage, strategic positioning, leverage, continues unabated and unashamed.
Indeed, escalating:

http://www.bi-me.com/main.php?id=42210&t=1&c=61&cg=4&mset=1011

SHIPS AHOY, BOMBS AWAY!

As promised, next episode of shocking and awful in the unfolding saga of Iraq/Iran/KRG Middle East imperialist transformation, regime change, congruency, mopping up and WWIII.
United Suckers and Assholes will not even know what him them, much less why, they are so totally and completely brainwashed, propagandized, ignorant and manipulated.

My MESSAGE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE!

By the way, a little side note, wishful thinking on my part.
With any luck, our petty, nauseating, sickening, grinning, impotent, little scumbag and CIA slave boy in the White House will STAY AWAY and never return.
He's YOURS. The world. A gift from US to YOU.
Take him, PLEASE.
DO NOT RETURN TO SENDER!!
I notice he has his with him at all times, discreetly, quietly, in the background at all important foreign events and meetings, his handler and mommy holding his hand, Hillary Clinton, like Bush, before, with Condi Rice.
Oh, yeah, and NO more pre-arranged, orchestrated, enthusiastic, photogenic NAZI youth rallies, thank god.
Gone.
He just slips quietly in and out, everywhere, now.
Hopefully, drawing NO more attention than necessary upon himself.
I still think it would be much better, honest and to the point to make a Sesame Street puppet like Big Bird our President.
At least I enjoy Big Bird.
What's not to like about a PUPPET?

So, back to WWIII.
Here we go, completely comprehensible, predictable, understandable, forecast, IF you have been following my posts and links all along:

http://www.upi.com/Business_News/Security-Industry/2009/11/17/Arabs-go-for-air-power-to-counter-Iran/UPI-46241258504355/

Further, regarding Iraq.
This is the same as delivering it to ourselves:
ATK Delivers Third AC-208 'Combat Caravan' Aircraft to Iraqi Air Force:

http://atk.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=118&item=979

And, once again, United Suckers and Assholes of the World, as the lyric of the pop tune goes, "What are we fighting for..."
Answer, refrain, FOR THEM, just in case you forget it is NOT only Iraq:

"India's 100 Richest Worth 25% of GDP":

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-11/19/content_12495157.htm

And, back home at the epicenter of the NAZI Dictatorship, the following is about as good as it is going to get here regarding our nascent, organized labor opposition and resistance.
Better support them.
It's our ONLY, last and thus, best, hope.
Much too little, much too late, I am afraid.
The cat is out of the bag, the milk has been spilled.
But, better than nothing, better now than never.
Mafia, criminal Andy Stern gang's SEIU is/was/continues to be NAZI Citigroup/Exxon/Morgan Obooma's primary organized labor supporter and ACTIVE proponent of our bogus, red herring, public option medical insurance plan used to torpedo Single Payer.
Of course, as I have highlighted below in many posts, our entire national organized labor umbrella organization, AFL-CIA (CIO), has abdicated their role supporting Single Payer, not to mention their consistent support for anti-Communist front groupings on a global arena and their pension fund investments in those same private corporations.
THAT IS THEIR PRIMARY FUNCTION, raison d'etre.
So, wresting, or, contesting leadership away from them represents a MAJOR POWER STRUGGLE, threat, upheaval to the Establishment, nothing short of an earthquake:

http://www.labornotes.org/blogs/2009/11/nuhw-supporters-brave-eggs-bottles-los-angeles

Lastly, for those who prefer a state of anarchy, disintegration, dismemberment and permanent revolution, you have plenty of it now and for the long and short term foreseeable future, only to have to return, ultimately, to the place from which you started and helped to destroy.
So, sit back, enjoy the fruits of YOUR labor!
Alittle reminder on that last note:

DREAMLAND, HERE AND THERE

The denouement of this post, theme, a treat, is at the end.
Stay with it.

An independent documentary has recently been released about Iceland's latest swindle and boondoggle, their new, private aluminium corporation, "Dreamland."
I picked up the following trailer about the film from the
www.icelandweatherreport.com
website.
Have not seen it yet, myself.
I sure hope it will show up, however, here, in the US and elsewhere, as well:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvH8tl4y0KE

But, there's ANOTHER MURKY PRIVATE aluminum corporation, similar to Iceland's gigantic ripoff, above, namely, Russia's NAZI Rusal.
Apparently, 70 NAZI financial institutions, more or less, involved with Rusal's financing.

But, I especially enjoy in John Helmer's report, below, the replies he receives from my two favorite, impeccable lineage, NAZI institutions, Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley, others mentioned, of course, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, BNP.
So, tiny Iceland is in good company amongst Big Time NAZIS:

http://johnhelmer.net/?p=2151#more-2151

And, then, speaking of NAZIS and Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank, et.al., another kind of manufactured Dreamland, or, should be named, instead, NIGHTMARE LAND, Iraq:

www.arabwomanblues.blogspot.com/2009/11/gray-days-black-days.html

And, now, add to the above growing, long, global list, Yemen, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Germany.
What a happy bunch of NAZIS ALL we band of brothers.
Apparently, our manufactured NAZI Yemeni religious Fundamentalist Houthi spokesperson happens, of all places, to be living in GERMANY.
What a fascinating coincidence:

http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Houthis+Hit+Saudi+Area.-a0211568137

Now, I have documented on numerous former posts, the major conflicting, competing, overlapping interests and economic investments in Yemen, between Dana Gas, US oil majors Hunt and Exxon, Palestinian billionaires Masri versus Khoury, extending to Iraq's Merchantbridge, Gaza, major UK investors, Dubai's new Yemen Stock Exchange AND the regional leverage NAZI Iran's Mullahs and Revolutionary Guards utilize to preserve their present status and control both in Iran and by extension, Baghdad.
However, I did find it interesting, considering our resident NAZI Islamist Yemeni Houthi spokesperson in Germany, the following assertion from a 2004 article, the very last sentence:

"...Could his regime be the next to fall after Saddam Hussein’s? And if so, will the Yemeni people be entitled to some $20 billion stashed away in German and Dutch banks?"
FROM:

http://www.ad-diplomasi.com/excerpts_det.asp?offset=10&art_id=71

So, I will leave it to you all to ponder that one.

Meanwhile, the NAZI Iran/Baghdad/KRG conundrum marches along to the sound of their own drummer.
No resolution forthcoming until NAZI occupied Iraq's upcoming election, BIG BANG, explosion, confrontation scenario.
Violence, deaths, killings, assassinations, bombs, too many, too numerous, too overwhelming to itemize.
But, Iraq's elections continue to be an on and off again, affair, despite reports to the contrary.

And, of course, Iraq's election, whether or not it happens, is NOT the end, but, merely the next chapter in this shocking and awful NAZI invasion, occupation and imperialist drama, the one that NAZI occupied US Labor Against War has written off as finished, a done deal, together with their newly minted, cloned, AFL-CIA, ILO affiliated, infant, Iraq Oil Union and its advisor, Munir Chalabi, yelling about Baathists.

Continuing along from the above, regarding United Suckers and Assholes HYPOCRITICAL AFL-CIA role, I excerpted the following from a recent post about our betrayed Single Payer Medical Insurance movement, here, in the world's greatest United Suckers and Asshole country.
Link follows, BUT, while Ohio Democratic Representative Kucinich, mentioned below, can afford to vote his conscience and look like he's progressive, REMINDER, Kucinich is CO-FOUNDER of the VIRULENT, reactionary, counter-revolutionary, anti-Communist, Congressional Baltic Caucus, JBANC, Joint Baltic American National Committee, AND, Victims of Communism.
So, what I have excerpted below merely follows from that OBSCURED, NEGLECTED, UNMENTIONED fact, above.
It is internally consistent, along with our ALF-CIA, ILO, new Iraq labor union:

"...Michael Lighty, of the California Nurses Association and a Health Care Now board member, told the gathering that while his union and other member unions were not in a position to come out in opposition to the Obama health care legislation – there was nothing stopping Health Care Now from doing it.

When asked why the unions did come out in opposition to the bill, Lighty said that each union – included the nurses – got something out of the legislation.

Another union leader told the gathering that the real reason was that the unions didn’t want to offend their friend in the White House..."

http://www.singlepayeraction.org/blog/?p=1724

And, NOW, as promised at the top, beginning, in contrast to, or, consistent with, the above, the denouement, another, different kind of Dreamland.
A video of labor leader Arthur Scargill from Britian's NUM speaking about their historic 1984 strike.
It is appxly an hour and one must listen in its entirety to appreciate it, most definitely a treat and something in it for almost everyone.
I want to make ONLY one comment, before listening.
Scargill mentions Norway.
Unfortunately, Norway's DNO ALSO is a participant in Iraq's economic privatization and dismemberment:

http://www.indymedia.ie/article/94768

LOOK WHO'S TALKING...

I laughed out loud when I saw/read this, below.
So, I had to share the joke with a larger audience.
Speaking, writing, below, is our favorite, MUNIR CHALABI, advisor to the UK Labor Against War, and, by extension, US AFL-CIA, anti-Communist, Labor Against War front organization.
I extracted two juicy paragraphs to highlight.
The first one should be obvious, the second one equally obvious, but, a footnote.
I truly laughed aloud at the unabashed, unashamed, blatant audacity and hypocrisy represented by his/their supposed union's statement and the TYPICAL pattern of Iraq's newly minted, AFL-CIA, ILO, affiliated, mirror image, labor union clones.
It is farce of the first magnitude, like here:

"...what guarantee do we have that Dr. Shahristani will even be the Federal Oil minister after the up-coming general election in January 2010, and that he won't be replaced by the IOC's and KRG's favored Mr. Thamir Al Ghadban?
And even with the assumption that he will be re-appointed oil minister after the January general election, knowing the background of the Iraqi political arena which is founded on compromises with the KRG in Irbil, what guarantee do they have that he will be able to achieve his goals?...

....5. During a telephone interview on the November 5, 2009 with Mr. Hassan Jumma, the leader of the Iraqi oil workers' union (IFOU) confirmed that the union opposes and will continue to oppose both the 1st and 2nd bid rounds.
[7] It is important that Iraqi oil experts take into consideration the views of the oil and gas workers, engineers and oil field experts who are the backbone of these industries and who will be the first to be affected by any such policies..."

www.petroleumworld.com/sunopf09111501.htm

In contrast to the above, I discovered someone ELSE discussing Iraq, in English, AND following this link, below, an important appeal from the same organization to which the speaker, below, is attached.
You must follow her talk, below, in 6 parts:

NEWS FLASH: NAZI IRAN'S NEW/OLD GOVERNMENT

Three posts today. This one and two below.
Making up for lost time and the now escalating, OPENLY explosive situation simmering all along NOT beneath the surface, but, unknown to most brainwashed idiots here.
As you can easily see below NAZI Iran, and, by extension, Baghdad, will be getting a new government, as per mopping up, regime change, congruency.
The Pahlavi interests are well represented below.
But, of course, IF one does not comprehend the economic contradictions I have been following all along, then, it becomes unintelligible.
I did warn, advise, forecast, tell you all in previous posts that Morgan Stanley HISTORICALLY is always at the very top of the NAZI garbage heap.
Their insidious NAZI credentials are impeccable.
So, purview some of the following:

http://www.intelligenceonline.com/p_default_list_art.asp?rub=chan_rub_ioa_moa

And, representing the new Iranian front group named above established in the US, Action for Democracy in Iran and Iran's Massali, is another former US Major General, also named above, Haake and Associates.
Do recall the info I had about MECATAC, then, Garner and Khalilzad--reminder:

http://karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2009/10/mecatac-mashhadani-hillary-clinton.html

And:

http://karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2009/11/everyone-investing-in-iraq-join-crowd.html

And, now, add in to the above mix, recipe:

http://www.haake-dc.com/haakebiomil.htm

So, ships ahoy and bombs away.
And, see my previous two posts below...

IMPORTANT YEMEN FOLLOWUP

Many thanks to the following, below, for posting an IMPORTANT roundup of recent Yemen developments.
Insightful and helpful, to me, at least.
Before or after reading below, recall, consider, contrast, compare and overlap, the information presented in previous posts I did about Yemen and its competing, economic interests, such as, but not limited to, US major oil giants, Exxon and Hunt, Palestinian's two major billionaires, Masri and Khoury's CCC, which extends to Gaza, Hamid Jafar's Dana Gas octopus, GCC/Dubai help in establishing a Yemen stock exchange, etc.
Here's a reminder, altho, I suggest you read the BOTTOM link FIRST, then return back to this one:

http://karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2009/10/yemen-masri-khoury-ccc-gaza-iraq.html

The battle within, between, Iran, proper, then, by extension, NAZI Iranian Mullah Sistani's son-in-law, Baghdad Oil Minister, Shahristani, NAZI Iranian Mullah Khameni and his grandson, Hakeem, and the KRG and Iraq's Parliament, involves the very survival of the Iranian NAZI Mullahs and their Revolutionary Guard regime and thus extends outwards, elsewhere, WHERE NAZI IRAN HAS LEVERAGE, throughout the region as part and parcel of a necessary mopping up, congruency, regime change scenario for ALL the disparate elements created, Islamists, etc., in the first place, to "fight Communism" and dissolve the USSR.
Let's recall, the premise on which all else is predicated is/was, FIRST AND FOREMOST, DISSOLUTION OF THE USSR.
BUT, NOW ALL ELSE MUST be disbanded, liquidated, also.
They, too, have become impediments to privatization.
As I have forecast, "they will not go lightly into the sunset."
They have become, within themselves, elements within other competing, contradictory, imperialist factions, thus, setting up an ever spiraling, escalating, increasing, onwards, upwards and outwards, perpetual, limitless conflict, drawing more and more into a manufactured swirling vortex.
Recall, also, I have been following the Middle East rearmament up to and including their teeth FOR A REASON.
They are not the only area on the globe.
As far as NAZI Iran's Mullahs and Revolutionary Guards, i.e., Islamic SS, Gestapo, Brown Shirts, etc., they are ACTING IN THEIR OWN ECONOMIC SELFISH, SELF-INTERESTS AND PRESERVATION, just as are ALL the others above.
But, they have regional leverage, power, which they are exercising.
Thus, they are helping expand the conflict.
And, EVERYONE SUPPORTING, apologizing, denying the preceding power relationships, exacerbates the very process they say they are against.
I will add one more factor to the following.
The events surrounding the recent Fort Hood, Texas shooting is now spuriously and conveniently connected to/with Yemen.
I have not even mentioned Russia, which, represented by the Medvedev VERSUS Sechin circle, warns/promises he/they will EXPAND Russian privatization further and/or revisit it.
Thus more explosive developments to come.
This is why, for example, Mr. "Evil Empire" himself, Chomsky, and the ersatz, fake, anti-Communist (Evil Empire) Left coterie Chomsky represents, currently, is busy globe trotting to promote, perpetuate, expand his/their bogus theories, disinformation and diversion AWAY from the realities represented above AND below.
THEY WORK FOR THE NAZI/FASCIST STATE.
And, this is why I have said, promised, forewarned is forearmed.
Do NOT pretend or feign ignorance, that you did not know or collaborate WITH resurgent NAZI Germany, Europe, US, EuraAsia, Africa, Latin America.
WWIII is now at YOUR/OUR/EVERYONE'S DOORSTEP as we descend into the chaos, hell, disintegration and oblivion commensurate with the exigencies of retrograde, regressive, primitive, barbaric, imperialist rivalry, counter-revolution, conquest and war:

http://arabwomanblues.blogspot.com/2009/11/arabia-felix-in-grinder-yemen-etc.html

And, see my other post below on Mexico for more on this subject...

MEXICO FOLLOWUP

In my previous post, a few days ago, November 10, I linked to the following, regarding the Mexican Electrical Workers, privatization and an upcoming labor action scheduled for November 11:

http://www.greenleft.org.au/2009/817/42001

I am glad to see Mexico's November 11 events have been reported and followed below.
HOWEVER, as one can clearly see expressed, both from above and, below, the power realities, no pun intended.
Nothing less than absolute PRINCIPLED unity, militancy, overwhelming force, and international solidarity, COMBINED, can stop, alter, change, reverse the course of the global NAZI privatization juggernaut, tactically missing both there and here by virtue of their/our divisive, collaborative, Fascist led labor unions, not by accident, obviously, but, by design:

http://www.labornotes.org/2009/11/national-work-stoppage-demands-reversal-mexican-power-takeover

Here, for example, when an historic opportunity presented itself for Single Payer Health Care, handed to us and our mafia labor leadership on a silver platter, the latter DID NOTHING BUT TO ACTIVELY DENY AND SUBVERT it, us and ultimately themselves.
Any tactic necessary to AVOID DIRECT CONFRONTATION.
Total and complete betrayal, capitulation.
They threw all of us under the bus and into the garbage can, AS USUAL.
This is THEIR consistent, opportunistic, unprincipled, collaborative pattern. Every single opportunity that presents itself from Single Payer to private pension fund investment to the bogus Obooma stimulus package, tax gifts and giveaways to Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and friends, our labor leadership collaborates to SUPPORT IT/THEM AND DO NOTHING in opposition.
Thus, as they sow, shall they reap.
The chickens come home to roost, as Malcolm X said, referring to the Kennedy Assassination, before he, himself, was shot dead by agents of his own bogus, drug, criminal and CIA FRONT GROUP, Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, all Obooma supporters.
And, of course, this pattern, in various forms and degrees, follows everywhere abroad, as well.

THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT

I begin with a well known, illustrative parable.
As you will see, following the parable, below, like the elephant, ALL are parts of the same, disjointed phenomena, system, though they may appear disparate, separate, unrelated:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_men_and_an_elephant

So, we have below the following report about a "human rights" disaster, catastrophe, in northern Iraq, referred to as Kurdistan.
I am well aware "human rights," in itself, is an oft abused and misused politically expedient term and ideologically manufactured category, depending on who finances the report, purposes, circumstances, etc.
But, the events occurring in this instance are accurate, whatever term one uses, aside from the fact NAZI Iran/Persia is NOT mentioned by name, sanitized from the narrative, instead, Arabs:

http://www.asianews.it/index.php?l=en&art=16833&size=A

And, then, I juxtapose the above with the following about Dana Gas:

http://www.eyeofdubai.com/v1/news/newsdetail-36500.htm

The second factor is CAUSALLY related to the first one.
There are thousands of other examples.
But, I chose those two randomly.

The point about the elephant parable is, who/what caused the OVERALL situation in Iraq represented by those two examples above?

The other analogy is disease.

Disease has MULTIPLE symptoms.
One can attempt to treat, diagnose and perhaps contain secondary, tertiary symptoms, palliative care, and simply leave intact or deny the underlying, fundamental etiology, the consequences of which are well known.

And, so, on that brief, happy note and pensive riddle, I end with the following editorial commentary from another country whose former and ongoing state dissolution enabled our currently deranged, diseased and fractured world to exist, expand and spread its contagious, pathological wings, without which, none of the above could have happened:

http://johnhelmer.net/?p=2138
