So a couple days ago Dr. George Tiller, a doctor in Kansas who does late-term abortions was murdered by an anti-abortion activist.
And in this, I feel the anti-abortion crowd (of which I am a member) is being very intellectually dishonest with themselves and everyone else. How? Why? Because they keep talking about how they "condemn" the killing of the doctor, and how "this is not representative of the pro-life movement." I heard Bill Bennett say that on his radio show and I've seen on the news every other pro-lifer saying things like that.
This is garbage. If you believe that abortion is murder, then you have to believe that late term abortion is the worst form of this murder. Therefore, this scumbag, errr, I'm sorry, doctor, is a murderer and therefore killing him would be no different than the US, UK, and Canada killing German soldiers in the western European theater in World War II.
Simple as. The guy's a murderer. So by removing a murderer from society, you are removing a guy who cannot function within the societal norms of decency and morality, and is violating the rights of living beings within the wombs of mothers.
So I do not condemn this. I hope God will have mercy on him.
For the record, if you're curious as to my specific views on abortion, here they are:
-- I am 100% opposed to late-term, and partial birth abortion.
-- I don't believe the government should ban abortion altogether, just late term and partial birth. Third trimester abortion should NEVER be allowed.
-- As a Catholic, I don't intend to govern America by my own religious beliefs therefore I don't oppose first trimester or even beginning of second trimester abortions, BUT even from a secular standpoint, by the end of the second or the beginning of the third trimester, it should be quite obvious that a formed living being is in the womb.
-- Abortion in the case of rape or incest is no excuse to have an abortion. Just get a morning after pill. They have those at the free clinics last time I checked.
-- I would disown my daughter if she had an abortion.
And last but certainly not least, Abortion is a big issue in America because the New World Order and the Elite Powers that Be have made it one. It accomplishes two things: (1) Population control, which the elites want, and (2) it keeps everyday people like you and me bickering about other issues and not paying attention to the crimes of the Bankers, the Military Industrial Complex, the Secret Societies, and the Political Elite.
If you're gonna oppose Obama speaking at Notre Dame for his pro-abortion views, then you also have to oppose Bush Sr., Clinton, and Bush Jr. for the economic sanctions against Iraq that starved over half a million people, the depleted uranium bombs in the no-fly zone that gave hundreds of thousands of people cancer and caused birth deformities in newborns, and for the 2003 invasion of Iraq that has killed over 100,000 civilians in Iraq and has destroyed the families of American soldiers. This is an even worse immorality than abortion.

Financial Crisis
So guess what the final tab is.......you know, $28 Billion to bail out Bear Sterns, $87 Billion for AIG, then another roughly $25 Billion, then the $700 Billion financial bail out package, then this recent $789 Billion "stimulus" package. That adds up to over $1.5 TRILLION and that's just what I've mentioned off the top of my head.
This is big government at its worst. And our grandchildren are going to be paying off the final dollars of the deficit. And don't even think we'll ever pay off the national debt. Not gonna happen.
Worst above all is that I truly don't think this was ever for real, at least not to the degree stated. Look deeply at this. You have the former CEO of Goldmann Sachs (Federal Reserve Member, one of nine to be precise) coming to congress asking them for "bail out" money for his peers in the banking industry. The idea is two-fold: (1) Buy up "toxic" assets and (2) increase lending to unfreeze the "frozen" credit market.
Amazing that we had a "Credit Crisis" and a "Credit Freeze," yet even leading up to the $700 billion bail out vote back in October, and after, I kept getting credit card offers in the mail and my credit is just plain good, not excellent by anyone's standard.
The very next month I got a loan for $1000 so I could get certified as a school teacher. Yet we're being told lending has not increased at all since the bail out. Before the bailout vote I remember hearing hot air head Rush Limbaugh talking about how he just had a large line of credit renewed, and several other callers that day were bragging about loans they'd just been given for their small businesses and what have you. At my job, we continued to offer business credit cards to business customers, even having competitions over who signed up the most people.
How are the aforementioned conditions a "Credit Crisis?" You wanna talk about a credit crisis, just look at the 1930s? A credit crisis is when you can't even get a payday loan cuz capital is so tight. This is no credit crisis.
This is The Powers That Be strengthening the power of the Federal Reserve to control all financial matters in America, while giving their buddies in these institutions like AIG and Merryl Lynch a free pass at paying out bonuses to already disgustingly wealthy executives. Cuz think about it really, why would Citi waste $50 million on a private jet if they don't even in theory have the capital to continue with day-to-day operations? They're not that stupid. They've got shareholders to answer to.
I don't support this, but one way that could cost much less than that of the $700 billion bailout would be to allocate $15,000 to every American over the age of 25. NOT to be used as a check to blow on whatever, but rather to be used ONLY for paying off debt of any kind. Account numbers of debt must be provided. THAT would provide great liquidity to the banks and would create a pay raise for the average consumer.

The False Dichotomy
There's a lot of conflict in the world. America vs. The Iraqi insurgents. America vs. Al-Qaeda. America vs. North Korea. America vs. Hugo Chavez and Raul Castro. Israel vs. Palestine. Israel vs. Hezbollah. Israel vs. Syria. Russia vs. Chechnya, Russia vs. Georgia. Colombian Government vs. FARC. America vs. Hugo Chavez and Raul Castro. Lingering tensions between Serbs and Albanians.
Karl Marx and later Vladmir Illych Ulyanov (Lenin) made it about the "Bourgeoisie" vs The Proletariat. Rich vs. Poor. Powerful vs. Weak. Marx and Lenin were both members of the Grand Orient Lodge (high-level Masonry, from what I've heard). In this country politicians talk about class warfare, or the rich vs. the poor.
In this country, everything is about Republicans vs. Democrats. And the 2000 election was stolen from Al Gore. And Bush is evil. And Democrats are big government pork spenders. Yada yada yada.
And the common people in all these conflicts get swept up in it or even get harmed by it.
All these conflicts that I've mentioned are people fighting the wrong enemy. The enemy of the low income guy isn't the quarter-million dollar a year guy. It's the quarter-billion dollar a year guy. The real enemy of the Palestinian people isn't Jewish people or Judaism. It's the elite levels of Israeli leadership, The Mossad, Shin Bet, AIPAC, and John Hagee. Russians and Chechens aren't enemies. It's Vladmir Putin (who also is in the elite levels of Masonry) and the old Soviet Guard and to a lesser extent the Wahabi influence Saudi Arabia's trying to spread in what was once a secular Muslim piece of the Caucasus.
I recently watched a Samuel L. Jackson movie where he plays an LAPD cop who hates the couple next door who just moved in because they're inter-racial. Samuel L. Jackson's character does exist in real life all over the nation. And need we forget David Duke who just said horrible things about Michael Steele.
THE REAL ENEMY IS The members of Bohemian Grove, The Bilderberg Group, The Illuminati, The Zionist extremists (not the average person who thinks there should be an Israel), and the Corporate Elite who control both major political parties, and the Rothchilds and the Rockefellers.
Those are the people who have not only created many of these false dichotomies, but keep us focused on this crap, when it's really the secret societies and powerful controllers who want us to in our rut. It's not "the Jews", it's not the Catholic Church, it's not upper-income people. It's the powerful elite who meet in secret societies and worship statues of owls.

Porn Industry Bail-out
So I heard on Cenk Uyghur's Young Turks video blog on youtube today that Larry Flint and Joe Francis are gonna go to D.C. to ask for a bail-out.
One question: Are YOU F'ING KIDDING ME????!!!!
I hope you are. Please tell me that you're just doing this to prove a point about how our congress is overspending and bailing out companies. I want to believe that that's why you're doing this.
I hope you're not seriously going to ask for money. I always thought porn was a recession-proof business for that matter. Silvio on the Sopranos said it, so it has to be true.
Then again, with this congress who has a higher retention rate than the Soviet Politburo (spelling??), I shouldn't be so surprised that they're so lost in the drunken sailor-like spending that they do give a few billion to Hustler and Girls Gone Wild.
Sorry drunken sailors, I didn't mean to insult you by comparing you to congress.

On Ponzi schemes
So we found out that hedge fund manager Bernie Madoff caused many people to lose mucho dinero. And no, I'm not gonna use the over-used pun of "Bernie Madoff made off......Bwahhaahahaaha!" Not gonna happen.
Anyway, well known high rollers like Mort Zuckerman, Steven Spielberg, and Michael Bloomberg lost multiple millions. So I hope that all you Jew-haters out there will stop with the banking conspiracy theory nonsense. Jews lost millions of $$ because of a Jew. So quit it with the "Jews control our money" crap.
Why did these men, and the other investors, and the institutions, and the charities lose money? Because Bernie Madoff and his crooks for friends were running a Ponzi scheme.
Brief history lesson: In the early 1920s an immigrant from Italy by the name of Carlo Ponzi solicited people for money in an investment he guaranteed them would make 50% return in a matter of months. Well, it did make the investors 50% in a few months. He told the next set of investors the same thing, and it happened. The third, and so on. How did he invest their money to get a 50% return? Simple. He didn't. He kept getting new sets of investors into the scheme. Half of each new set of investors' money went to the set of investors before them, and the other half went into Ponzi's pocket. All this was working until the stock market crash of 1929, and Ponzi couldn't bring in a new set of investors to compensate the last. That's when the "Ponzi scheme" came crashing down.
Well, having been in Primerica for two years, I can tell you I know a pyramid set up when I see it. And the Ponzi scheme that really needs to be shut down or better regulated is Social Security. That's the biggest one of them all. Madoff is nothing compared to social security and what's gonna happen to the retirees who take benefits in and after 2042. The way social security works (at least today) is that those of us who work now are having money taken out of our paychecks and given to retirees and the disabled. We will be given benefits in the future based on what we put in now and in the forseeable future. There is no money sitting in a lock box somewhere with your name on it waiting for you to claim it at age 62 or higher, or upon disability. But the dynamic is different today than in 1935. Back then there were 13 workers for every retiree. Today there are 3 workers for every retiree. People are living longer due to medical breakthroughs and couples are having fewer children. Do you see where a problem is arising? And don't tell me that eliminating the Bush tax cuts will improve the situation. That's pissing in the ocean, to be blunt about it.
Say what you will about Bush, and I've said what I've said about him, but he was right on social security. But because the left is so beholden to AARP and so eager to spite the man for the 2000 and 2004 elections, they ruined our one chance to really improve the situation.
Can you tell I'm not a huge fan of the Democratic party?

On the Roland Burris situation
For once me and Mike Gallagher are in complete agreement on something -- how does the Democratic Party look; how do Harry Reid and Dick Durbin (who thinks women can do what they want with their bodies, i.e. -- abortion but you and I can't take ephedrine) look after yesterday's mess?
A black man, Roland Burris, was turned away at the senate doors and made to walk in the rain, and later consult his attorneys, because Harry Reid and Dick Durbin are so scared of the political ramifications of the Blow-job-o-vich scandal, that they don't wanna take the heat for the governor's appointee, even though the appointee himself has come under no corruption charges, and is qualified for the job?
Planetary alignment has occurred here, because I have to praise Mike Gallagher for summing up the situation so perfectly: The Senate Democrat leadership has refused a black man entry into the senate and made him walk home in the rain. And this is the party of minorities? Of affirmative action? Of protecting the black man from the evil white racist republicans who are out to screw minorities?
Meanwhile, the Republican party is about to elect its first ever African-American party chairman, and the race is between two -- wait for it -- two AFRICAN-AMERICANS. Ain't that somethin'?
Democratic party -- get your shit together. Seriously. You are in charge of EVERYTHING now. You have an almost filibuster-proof majority in the senate. You can't blame Bush and the Republicans anymore. And incidents like this don't help you. Neither does that fake phony photo op of Reid and Durbin smiling with Roland Burris. Just listen to the words of your senator from Minnesota, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggonit, People LIKE ME!"

On the current situation in Gaza
For the past week there has been great destruction and death in the Gaza strip.
Approximately 500 Palestinians and 10 Israelis have died in the recent flare up.
I do not think it's acceptable for H.A.M.A.S. to fire rockets in civilian areas. That definitely needs to stop. Whether it's the P.A. who stops it or the local population or a rival faction, the rocket attacks need to stop. Not only is it morally wrong, but also tactically ineffective.
I give the same message to Israel. While the American media focuses on the fact that Palestinians fire rockets into Israel from Gaza, as well as the fact that Israel withdrew from Gaza in August 2005 and still those irrational Jew-hating Moslems can't quench their thirst for the blood of Israelis, it's worth bearing in mind that Israel did not completely withdraw from Gaza. From the land, yes. But Israel still controls the commercial border crossing points, the air space, they don't allow fishers to go more than 2 miles out from the coast, and imposed a blockade of food, medicine, and petroleum because HAMAS won a democratic election. Should Arab nations have the right to blockade food and medicine from going into Israel because they elected Ariel Sharon in 2001 and 2003, a man who had massacred villages in the 1950s during his stint in 101 including the Qibya massacre, a man who had indirect involvement in the Sabra and Shatila massacres? A man who brought about the policy of running bulldozers over poor peoples' houses in the West Bank because one of the family members in that house happened to be a terrorist?
It's also worth remembering that in our pro-Israel media you never hear anything coverage of Settler violence against Palestinians, which happens almost everyday. And in the 1980s, Settlers fired crude rockets in the West Bank at buildings in Arab towns, yet there was no outcry for Arab nations to use 1000 pound bombs from fighter jets on Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
So for the well-being of the people on both sides of the conflict, I urge both sides to stop.
I'll leave you, my fine readers, with this last thought: Is it not remarkable that President George W. Bush and his evil associates Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld came into office in 2001 with the message that the two biggest problems in the world were Saddam Hussein and Yasser Arafat? And that if only they were both out of the picture everything would be great? Well they're both dead, Saddam for 2 years and Yasser Arafat for 4. And the Middle East has never been more instable....
