Oil Wars in the Mid-East (Iran, Iraq) - the Reason is Out-of-Control Population Growth

Why the Wars for Oil in the Mid-East cesspools of Iraq and Iran (coming soon)? The reason is out-of-control overpopulation growth.

If people worldwide had not -- and were still not -- breeding like effing cats, rats and dogs with no thought of consequence, there would not have been a "need" to go to those cesspool Arab lands filled with humans even stupider than those in the U.S., Europe, Asia, India, and South- and Central-America, in search of oil.

If not for a population far in excess of sustainable carrying capacity, the effing Arab wogs would have remained impoverished, backwater, irrelevant, if it were not for their oil. So, all the breeders have caused a hornet's nest, empowered by oil money, to be loosed upon the world.

And "our" governments don't mind -- Bush, Cheney, Clinton, Gore -- THEIR asses are safe, and they have a great "excuse" to increase control over the sheeple, and me as collateral damage.

Eff'em all -- the power-sucking governments -- politicians and bureaucrats. Eff'em all -- the slave religions and their sheep -- the Christians, Jews, Muslims.

Ron Paul for President? No Way. Why? Two Words.

Two words:

Goldwater 1964.

More words:

Barry Goldwater was the Republican Party nominee for President of the U.S. in 1964.
He ran against the incumbent President Democratic Party hack Lyndon Johnson.
He lost. Big Time.

What was Goldwater's message? Very similar to that of Ron Paul's today.
Barry Goldwater was classified as a conservative. A rather radical one at that. But he got press coverage.

Ron Paul is classified today simply as a radical. He gets negligible media coverage.

In contrast with Goldwater, Ron Paul is not even going to get the Republican nomination.
(If he does, I will reconsider my philosophical beliefs regarding "God" and miracles.)
He is not going to be elected President, neither as a Republican nor as an independent nor as a libertarian (either capital or lower case "l").

Why?

It would take an intelligent and informed populace with a subset of intelligent and informed voters to vote for someone other than a Republicrat or Demopublican.
Think that will happen? Fuggedaboudit.
It would take a majority of voters to be intelligent and informed.
Look around you. Most people, including voters, are stupid and ignorant. 'Nuff said.

Well, a few more words:

"Nothing has been more amply demonstrated during the past three thousand years than this: that the great majority of men do not esteem, or understand, or even desire personal liberty." [Freeman Tilden, from A World in Debt, 1936.]

"... monstrous economic delusions have never once, in history, been removed by being exposed
in printed form by thinkers upon the subject." [Freeman Tilden, from A World in Debt, 1936.]

Why I am an Atheist

I needed a subject to write a blog post to keep this blog active, and a series of posts by James B rausch on his blog (no link to him, he won't link to me) "inspired" me.

The B rausch series is a fictionalized account (some reality, some fiction, he says) of his methamphetamine (meth) addiction, why and how he got started on it, the "meth life", bottoming out, recovery, finding he-she-it, converting to Mormonism, making several thousand dollars on the internet while in recovery, and discovering paradise in Costa Rica.

While some of the stuff about all that and the help of various social services (shelters and meals, all provided by various non-Mormon religious organizations) in keeping him afloat was fascinating, the stuff about he-she-it speaking to him, prayer, the conversion, etc., was maudlin, almost comical. I read through the series for details on how he made the several thousand dollars. Not much there on that.

He states his series will be removed from his blog or otherwise made inaccessible after 2007 December 25. If you are looking for a religious experience, you are out of luck if you read this post after that date.

But, if you are looking for internet marketing tips, what I gathered from his posts about that is this:

You write something up ("the product") -- but he never said what, even what kind of subject he wrote about -- that people will find valuable. Duh.
Then you put your product as a post on a blog you set up -- i.e., a free Google blog like this.
Then you go find a bunch of forums and post to each about what you have written with a link to your blog post.
I'm not sure of the next step. It could be either or both of these:
On the forums, you mention the product is free but you request a donation of $10, $20, whatever.
That may or may not be permissible. On your blog, as part of your blog post, I would think you definitely would want to include that donation request.
The donation request link goes to a PayPal account you have set up.
(In PayPal, you have to set up payment, by going to "Merchant Services".
Click "Donate" under "Create Buttons". I guess for forum posts you would use the select "Link for e-mails" code. For a blog post, get that and paste it into your blog post while in HTML mode. That's it. You can see how that works on a blog by donating to me, below.)

Anyway, that's it, as far as I can decipher. I have just saved you an hour or more of sometimes fascinating but ultimately unimportant reading.

Back to he-she-it:

Many people claim that he-she-it has spoken to them. They range from various killers (serial killers, mothers drowning their children, founders of religions spaced out from dehydration or "herbs" wandering around in the desert, etc., etc.) to usually harmless people you think are talking on their cell-phones, but who don't have a cell-phone, to people like B rausch that are seemingly quite successful. All that demonstrates to me is that both losers and winners (however you define those) can be wacko.

As I said above, just ONE of the reasons I am an atheist is that he-she-it has not spoken to me, personally. Why should he-she-it speak to me, you may ask. Why shouldn't he-she-it, I ask in return. After all, if there really is a he-she-it, am I not one of he-she-it's flock? Doesn't he-she-it care about ME? Doesn't he-she-it want my worship, obedience, reverence, whatever? What am I, chopped liver?

He-she-it is supposed to be omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent. With those super-powers, you would think it inconsequentially simple for he-she-it to conduct a personal seance with every living person on Earth (and wherever) as frequently and intensively as necessary to make sure that we all "get the Word". Hasn't happened.

What am I missing? Comments are welcome (but note that they are moderated).

Daylight Savings Time - Politically Correct Crap

Who gives a crap about Daylight Savings Time? It is a pain in the ass. But, it's "for the children" (sob, sniffle, snuffle) and/or politically correct "ecological" reasons. (I didn't contribute to the population explosion -- let all the f'ing breeders pay for the problems they have caused, not me).

BTW, I just have my computer clock set to to ZULU (Greenwich time WITHOUT DST adjustments) all year long. Screw it.

But it still takes me a half hour spring and fall to diddle all the other clocks and watches. F'em all.

The Merry Christmas vs Happy Holidays Flapdoodle

A nation of wusses, crybabies, politically correct idiots.
Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays -- so f'ing what.
Be informed that "holiday" means "holy day".
As an non-liberal atheist, I don't give a crap. "F" both the Christians and the liberals. (And while I'm at it, "F" the Muslim wogs and religious Jews as well.)

Real Estate Opportunities in New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina

It has been long known that one or more levees in the New Orleans area would go in the event of any fair-to-middlin'-sized hurricane. So why the shock and surprise that at least a couple of the levees have busted, in the wake of hurricane Katrina, flooding 80% or more or New Orleans?

Since the potential problem has been long known -- for decades -- why were the levees NOT rebuilt, or at least patched, well in advance?

Obviously, TPTB had other priorities. Given the agenda of the NWO, my guess is that the levees will be rebuilt AFTER thousands/millions of acres of land have been foreclosed on and/or sold at distressed bargain-basement prices.

Meyer Rothschild said something like: "Buy when the blood is running in the streets." In the case of New Orleans, you could substitute "water" for "blood".

So, if you are a speculator, you could jump in right along with politicians and corporations like Bush/Cheney/Halliburton and "Crawfish Huey" (fictitious local politician name).

The History of Teaching Math

A Story:
Some time ago I purchased a burger for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her.

She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help.

While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this? Please read more about the "history of teaching math":

Teaching Math In 1950:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1960:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1970:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?

Teaching Math In 1980:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

Teaching Math In 1990:
By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the forest birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down the trees. (There are no wrong answers.)

Teaching Math In 2005:

Are Gold and Silver Prices Suppressed?

While I am a Precious Metals fan, I don't think the prices are being suppressed.

Gold: IT IS NO LONGER MONEY. Undeniable. Since that is the case, I am surprised that it has MAINTAINED its price relative to the "DOLLAR" and even increased somewhat, since the only other uses are minor industrial, which silver can often substitute for, and for jewelry. I attribute any price support/increase to us goldbugs, not to anything else.

Gold is superfluous to most people with any "money". Maybe some day in the future, gold will be again be money. But first, ONLY after the world economy and the present fiat money systems collapse totally. Then, there will be more attempts at fiat systems. Finally, gold will HAVE to be adopted again as money. But I, and possibly you, will be dead of old age by then.

SILVER: I have heard of the coming silver price explosion for decades. The demand/supply imbalances. Blah, blah, blah. Obviously, there is enough supply available at PRESENT (low) prices. If there wasn't, the price would be higher. QED. Now, you can say that by analyzing supply and demand that on the x day of the y month of year z, that the supply at the present low prices will run out and so that the price will have to increase dramatically. And that it should increase NOW in anticipation. But this is now, and then is then. Plus, obviously, the people with big "money" disagree.

Capitalism or "free enterprise" does not mean that people have much foresight. If you think silver, for example, should now be $100 (whatever), because of a potential future shortfall, you likely think oil should be $150 (whatever) a barrel.

That oil is not $150 is for the same reason silver is not $100. The prices will not increase dramatically until, if and when, we (collectively) get kicked in the face.

So you doubled your money.

So you doubled your money.
What if, in the same period of time, your cost of living (COL) also doubled?
Well, at least you broke even, right?
Wrong. Because the IRS wants tax on your "double" even though you didn't gain any purchasing power.
In this way, government ROBS you of your capital through inflation.

Years to double principal at various interest rates.
Years to halve purchasing power at various inflation rates.

Social Engineering -- Yassuh, Massuh

All kinds of social engineering by your rulers of you slaves on the Amerikan New World Order Plantation.

The excuses by The Powers That Be (TPTB) is that it's all the "fault" of traffic, terrorism, environmental, etc.,. etc. concerns.

If TPTB wanted to do some EFFECTIVE social engineering that would address a basic problem, it would be to STOP subsidizing the indiscriminate dropping of litters of human spawn by so-called humans with no more foresight than cats, rats, and dogs. That subsidizing, that has to stop, includes "public" education, tax deductions, aid to welfare mothers and their car-jackers-in-training, etc.

Now, that would mean BIRTH CONTROL AND ABORTION. So, fat chance, since most people are religious, thus demonstrably idiots, no matter that they can rapidly emit utterances from their mouths, obtain prestigious business, academic, and government positions, or score above 100 on an IQ test.

(By the way, if the average score on the IQ test is a little more than 100, just consider that about HALF those taking it have IQ scores BELOW 100. And they have cell phones.)

"Born Again" Atheists

Every now and then I get some sort of response to something which generally is quite sane, but then the writer goes off on a "GOD" tangent. Which is completely inane, irrelevant, and superfluous.

Re "god" -- fuggedaboudit. Not a factor, since non-existent.
(Not going to debate religion -- I am a "born again atheist".
Everyone is born an atheist -- and most are soon programmed into some religion or another, which NEVER changes. Only a few of us throw off such superstition to again become atheists -- "born again atheists".)

Government and Banking Enable Identity Theft

The government, the central banking system (Federal Reserve), credit card companies, and credit reporting bureaus set up a big-brother numbering system that FACILITATES identity theft, then offer to "protect" you against that -- for a "nominal" fee (times millions of "customers"). How SWEET!

Corporate Amerika -- especially the ID theft enablers Microsucks and Intel who are more interested in bells and whistles than security, and more interested in enabling the government and other corporations to track you rather than protecting your privacy -- also are your identity security enemies.

So also are all the techno-weenies and pointy-haired managers who think up and deploy crapola such as RFID chips and supermarket "loyalty" (discount) "membership" cards.

Atlas Twitched

Los Angeles Metrolink officials are criminally negligent dissembling weasels.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand includes a description of a rail disaster caused by fictional analogs of the real-life Metrolink commuter line officials.

It has been well-know for years that the "push" method of running trains is inherently unsafe. Various transportation observers AND the rail union have complained for years about it. But, it is cheaper to run the trains unsafely rather than switch the engines to the front into the normal "pull" method, when appropriate.

Yes, the crazy Mexican suicidal wife-beater drug dealer should not have put his SUV on the track, but a train with the engine in front may not even have noticed it as it ran into it (and through it). But with a lightweight "cab" car at the front of the train, the SUV stopped it while the engine at the rear continued to push, causing the cars inbetween to fold like an accordion, and off the track into other trains.

Atlas Shrugged is the story of the collapse of the United States (and the world) due to rampant stupidity. Los Angeles Metrolink officials are criminally negligent stupid dissembling weasels. The Metrolink CEO said in a television interview that the push mode is not a problem, when obviously there was a problem, e.g., a train wreck.
