The United States in 2012

The U.S. Government has made Orwellian hate crimes legislation a general entry to intervene in politically incorrect crimes upon special classes, given the military the right to exfiltrate U.S. citizens without legal review to unspecified foreign torture facilities where they may disappear forever and has forced corporate medical insurance upon all citizens as well as seeking to force all religious organizations to provide birth control paraphernalia indirectly or through insurers.

Following the attack on the rich in the World Trade Center in 2001 American democracy has been progressively stifled and wealth concentrated with onerous public debt building up along with high unemployment. The rich scorched by terrorist death took out their vengeance upon the poor and middle class of the United States while creating a ubiquitous surveillance state. They have no intention of reforming a version of capitalism in need of egalitarian upgrade.

In a year where the administration compelled homosexual marriages unto the states, military and District of Columbia supporting legislative and judicial imposition of the policy upon the people, and where federal judges have ruled against a California proposition to make marriage just heterosexual and in Arizona and elsewhere the right to verify citizenship of people encountered in routine police stops, the shape of elite federal policy is beginning to take shape in a general direction.

Rush Limbaugh Apologizes for Calling Sandra Fluke a Despicable Name Clumsily as It Were

Saying that he had been fighting the 'absurd with the absurd' for years, Rush Limbaugh apologized for calling a Georgetown law student asking congress for money for birth control paraphenalia 'a slut'. Plainly Mr. Limbaugh did not realize that Ms. Fluke was not in the class of legitimate political targets upon which caustic labels might be more reasonably pinned by talk radio. Sandra Fluke's feelings might have been hurt by the eminence grise of talk radio.



A Juris Doctor degree at Georgetown costs about $23,000 a year before extra fees, books, housing and so forth. Those of us whom are poor are not too sympathetic when the advantaged go before congress asking for money for sex prophylaxis. Nether are we sympathetic with bullying by Government or the broadcast industry. President Obama and Congress should not have sought to force religious organizations to provide free rubbers and birth control pills to the emancipated adult students and other in prime advantaged education circumstances. If they can't afford their own rubbers and such how could they ever balance the federal budget or prioritize government spending outside of a commune, for-themselves?

Probably Ms. Fluke has learned something in her legal career about testifying before congress. Senators too sometimes ask for ridiculous things to the forest service or make equivalent pleas for oil depletion allowances. The Congress has learned nothing serious about balancing the budget or creating full employment for the poor, and should hold some new hearings on steroid use by laboratory chimps.

Mesh Networking: An Emerging Alternative to Internet Architecture

Mesh networking may be an emerging alternative to Internet networks with ISPs vulnerable to censorship and disaster. Julian Dibble writes on the technology in the March 2012 Scientific American.

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=the-rise-of-instant-wireless-networks

Mesh networks are in a very beginning phase today. Computer users have their own routers and develop a democratic, peer broadcast architecture that does not go through an ISP. The routers are wireless and cost about $150. The concept of computer users linking directly through a wireless net to other users and only secondarily to the Internet via ISP’s does have quite a lot going for it beside cost savings.

http://freedomboxfoundation.org/

Discrete, independent mesh wireless architecture would let users avoid giving data to mega-corporations and governments such as Facebook, Twitter and the National Security Agency in as great of quantity. There are existing social networks on the Internet that let users store personal data on their computer instead of in ‘the cloud’.

Sects. Albright-Clinton Nuclear Agreements With North Korea 1994-2012

North Korea's dictators historically won the contest to develop nuclear weapons with the Bill Clinton administration. Kim Il Sung signed agreements that took off the heat while providing the Clinton administration with some PR victories and continued to develop nuclear weapons under the table. Kim Jong Il continued the advantage for North Korean weapons development. A couple of days ago the next dictator Kim Jung Un agreed to return to six-party talks in exchange for hundreds of tons of foods continuing the tradition of promising to stop enriching uranium and making plutonium at the Yongbyon facility. That plan worked in 1994 and this new Obama-Clinton administration has signed off again in order to help the young dictator be on good terms with his people as he can provide practical food gifts as well as gain respect for communist authorities.

One might believe that the Obama administration and Sect. Clinton are renewing the ineffective policies of the Bill Clinton years and expanding that paradigm to Iran's weapons program.

Solution Alpha to Female Disconformity in Republicrat Political Conversion

The opportunism of President Obama in developing the woman-contraception problem as a line of attack on American churches and religious organizations for his 2012 political campaign highlights the value of exploiting female differences and unit cohesiveness in contemporary politics. Rush Limbaugh of course blundered in to the fray with intemperate, injudicious language in referring to the Congressional horse and pony show on the availability of rubbers and birth control pills at Georgetown University where tuition must be at least 10 or 20 thousand dollars annually.

Women do have a different economic and political operating system universally, and the sharper politicians exploit that to lever opposition upon their foes with real or imagined premises.
Fundamentally the female problem is equivalent to the software interchangeability of MSWord, Open Office's version of word, Open Office ODT and the export of PDF files. As anyone knows, in version 3.2 and Word 2000 there are subtle yet substantial differences in getting the pages to transfer directly. MSWord insists on having a few extra pages, and some of the header/footer and page break settings are more difficult to transfer from Word to OPWord.

American females establish their political lists and points rather inflexibly putting their spin and biases upon them to which any sort of legal super-structure is extraneous. Female boundary conditions and protocols for header-footer content integrity and page numbering-much less line numbering, are what they are. When a man must use that structure political in a directly equal way transferring the content into Open Office inevitably the page numbers will be all akimbo and the table of contents rather useless. Female versions of word take no regard for male economic structures and allow a fundamental corruption of male economic values and balances when their own female word version is exported unchanged directly in to the more general OPWord.

The feminine worldview in politics is not necessarily comprehensive of the male worldview, though as a majority opinion it can be decisive in determining the direction of American foreign and domestic policy. The United States has had four bad Presidents in a row and the economic status of the nation reflects that fact. The nation has not been willing to elect a single good economic manager in that time capable of reforming business, banking, Wall Street or government
.
Presidents fail upon moral and/or economic grounds in the post-cold war era, and the media is an accelerant upon a consumerist ethos existentially calculated to increase debt and corrupt domestic political effectiveness at assuring full employment, secure borders, stable population, recovering environment and full equal rights of all citizens.

Election 2012: Is the Federal Government More Perverted Than It Was Four Years Ago?

As the 2012 Presidential campaign heats up Americans may be asking themselves if the federal government is more perverted now than it was four years ago. Certainly the profit takers on Wall Street have rounded with a 'jobless recovery', and eight states have gone over to the dark side of the force of homosexual marriage. At least Rush Limbaugh is in the thick of things with controversy glomming on to his radio broadcasts as one expects as howls from Democrats that 'he should be silenced' arise this time over the controversial contraception issue the President created in trying to force Catholic religious organizations to act as agents of President Obama's birth control policy.

For quite a while Mr. Limbaugh has said that the Democrat Party wanted badly to make an issue of Republican opposition to free rubbers and birth control pills for women a political item and that Republicans are not at all in opposition to birth control.

In this Alaska town where half the radio stations are owned by one company there is little alternative to ABC, CBS and Rush Limbaugh, so I sample that show now and then in order to avoid NPR which is about as leftist as one needs to get.

P.S.

Thanks for commenting.. Ronald Reagan said that politics is the second oldest profession and much like the first. President Obama has jumped on the Democratic pile on to attack Mr. Limbaugh for making a rhetorical question about the law student being paid to have sex by the government. That was stretching the point of course, yet government does tend to whore its citizens from military conscription to contraception, abortion and so on. Politicians cut taxes on the rich and tell the poor that taxes should be increased on the rich a little later.

Politicians cut home loan protections on mortgages making houses into ATMs for sale globally to stimulate the economy and get re-elected then let the nation go broke. Politicians are perhaps the most quantitaviely pimping of professions.

President Obama needs to intimidate the non-goose-stepping independent media in order to get re-elected. Then he can bully some other small countries and get weapons delivered to the 'Friends of Syria' or allow more offshore oil drilling after asking for the environmentalist vote. Enough revolutions started and he may get green stamps for purchase of a second Nobel Peace Prize.

Sorry about writing this a little polemically. The President deserves a thesis yet its all disposable anyway. The rich get richer and ...

Today Rush said that the Georgetown law student has so much sex that the government needs to pay for her contraceptives. Law students looking forward to being one day in the Obama class probably ought to pay for their own birth control if they must sleep around like monkeys (what else is law school for?).

Mr. Limbaugh also pointed out that it is actually Democrats that want to limit contraceptive availability. A Missouri state legislator-a woman, has introduced a bill to ban federal support for vasectomy unless the life of the man is endangered. Limbaugh asked if that the back alley vasectomy phenomena will increase when federal support is cut off.

Limbaugh is obviously bad at ecospheric knowledge advocating fossil fuels and oil well drilling even as ocean acidification from global warming is happening faster than ever going back 65 million years. Rush is right about the President's effort to force state control over religious organizations so far as to compel them to act against their well-known religious beliefs and distribute rubbers and birth control paraphernalia through their affiliated organizations or insurers-plainly that is an anti-Christian boundary violation.

That anyone should believe that the most amusing talk-radio personality should be silenced is a sad commentary on the Stalinesque drift of corporate kow-towing, jack-booted demo-partnered corporatism seeking to make every citizen a syncopated raving mutt of global networks of power.

Rush Limbaugh is an advocate for wealth and the interests of the rich and perhaps fears tax increases more than anything else, as his hundreds of millions would be threatened with use in good works creating jobs for the poor. The rich own radio and until it is given over to citizen podcasts in some ultra-modern reformation it will continue to offer very few intelligent commentators.

American political I.Q. is not too hot these days. Even Rush Limbaugh fails to support Mitt Romney much as the President basically gets sufficient tax breaks for the rich and middle class to keep them happy while dumping debt upon youth for tomorrow. If the President is re-elected interest payments each year on the Federal debt may approach 1 trillion dollars annually. Something needs to change.

One can't just ask as a re-election test question; 'Are you more perverted than you were four years ago, and has the President made America more perverted?' It is necessary to ask if one is unemployed if the unemployment rate has dropped enough percentages points to not wish to give someone else a try as President.
