  Peter Schiff is running scared. On his most recent youtube chant he threw on a flannel shirt and had a serious discussion on the hate mail he has received after is mockery of big box workers trying to get a fifteen dollar wage. The world knows now about Mr Schiff;s silly attempt o be a man on the street and was asking Wal Mart shoppers if they were willing to pay an extra fifteen percent of their entire bill at this skuzzy store. Many people were outraged at the notion of this multi-millionaire that works in the shady financial services industry turned lame talk show host would have the audacity to mock an important labor fight of our times. Schiff's crusade and grievances with low skilled workers seeking livable wages is pretty fucking pathetic and I can see how he would reach a record high of hate letters,emails and comments on his youtube channels. He seemed more scared and perplexed when describing some of these letters were threatening and actual death threats. Maybe the speaker for the one percent should go back and review his ridiculous videos attacking workers with families struggling to make ends meet and see why some would threaten his privileged status in society. The guy is a clown and it is sad to see an unhappy,unhealthy scared clown like Mr Schiff. Don,t scare him so much folks.

Byron York is a dork

Troy York



  Author Bryon York is a fucking dork. The writer from National Review wrote this book shortly after the 2004 election called "The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy". He gloats about the amount of money wealthy Democrats were spending trying to oust George W Bush who they felt as moving the country in he wrong direction. He claimed many of these people were delusional and filled with hate and false accusations that Bush was trying to implement a theocracy. Mr York uses the radio network Air America as some sort of proof where the population and the political direction was headed. Air America had much lower ratings than the corporate established right wing hate talk radio masters who made a living bashing Clinton. Bryon calls Michael Moore a one man propaganda Minster of the left media and gets funding from real rich Democrats with a total liberal agenda. Much of Mr Moore,s great movie farheneit 9\11 is discussed in this book





   This is a guy who is part of a right wing conspiracy to discredit the logical complaints of those he disagrees with politically. His lame bias book offers nothing and is e
very weak trying to claim that there is some problem with the left trying to raise money to elect people of their ideologies. This was written back in 2004 and Mr York seems paranoid that the left and Democrats were moving fast and seemed on a on despite this election loss. In fact he was worried about 2006 and the next election where the Democrats might elect a black president. gassp that is exactly what happened and now I bet Mr York is a pretty unhappy dork. This guy shames my name

Shock Doctrine book by Naomi Klein a great read

  Shock Doctrine is the name of the book by claimed author Naomi Klein and in it she explains the procedure the United States and its money sglobal system uses to shock societies in an attemt to change them. The economic plan America has basically is as a colonial overlord just without the actual declaration of the territory as a colony. Anyone who actually believes the United States was not a colonial power of equal brutality and determination as a France or Great Britain is clearly thick skulled and blind. They refuse to acknowledge  the numerous invasions and shock therapy with blood on its hands. Ms Klein's book attempts to show recent shock and all strategies the United States as used to undermine real democracy across the globe. The comparison and similarities of Chile in 1973 to Iran in 1953 to Iraq fifty years later is shocking. basically free-market zombies helped convince the Nixon administration to support and do a coup ousting the democratically elected leader Allande in Chile and install a total big business American puppet of August Pinochet. The dictator killed many slashing spending and opening up all aspects of Chile to privatization. This country desperately wanted to destroy international socialism and spread the Milton Friedman Chicago School of economic plan that basically puts control of everything into a small class of private owners whose wealth is increased taking things away from the public sector. This plan is totally disastrous for anyone who has not already amassed more wealth than they need.














   Naomi brings up so many crisis brought up by current colonial masters of the IMF and World Bank and how they help spread fear and economic crisis in parts of the world so they can get their hands on more ownership of foreign assets and keep labor cheap. The Asian crisis of the late nineties is a typical example. The "Shock Doctrine" book goes through sudden changes in Russia,Bolivia,and Poland and how  the peoples determination to control their own destiny and end brutal repression witnessed a new lord in the IMF/World Bank that made new unreasonable economic demands if these new democracies. The major economic demand they make to these nations is total privatization of industries so they can set up a elite class to control the new nations and governments. The loans given to these nations are then used as leverage to make demands on a people who thought they had won the battle for new freedom and sovereignty  


    he Shock doctrine also was established inside this coutry as Cheney and Rumsfeld decided o run the military as an interstate corporation to further benefit the private business elites that profitted so much from war and weapons manufacturing. The cuts to federal emergency planning and lack of plan to deal with New Orleans after major flooding is what we can expect when these types of business effecient planned masters gain control of government. leaders in this country have often equated social equality with Stalinism because the wealthy class running the West fear this more than the authortarian communism they bring up from decades ago. As always the authortrian communism was set up as a reaction against the corrupt capitalist system that in many cases American shock-tye colonialsm helped set up. A couple of other chapters in this wonderful book looks at the Israel security complex and how peace will no longer be achieved as this illegal state as established its existence not as a Jewsih sate but a security surveillance state for privatization worldwide capitalsim. One can only look at Tel aviv and then look over the fence to Gaza and see what type of bubble world these people want to create all over the world. This is a picture they want to paint all over the place from Singapore to New Orleans and they will treat anyone without a mass fortune as an aborrigine. However as her final chapter shows things are turning against them and leadrs are being elected all over the world standing up against this form of arrogant dominance and clearly the late Hugo Chavez was the beginning of Washington and their privatization allies facing resistence. Their plan to totally shock and destroy Iraq and make it into their form of free-market capitalist country also faced humuliation and resistence. Leaders all over Latin America have resistedthis new atempt ofbrutal financial control from the North and eventually the people i the Middle East will follow up and make their own leaders responde more to the people and not the oil interests of the free-market private classes of the West.

Slate Podcast shows the five degrees of Google workers seperation from the common folk

Terry Blue

Slate.com has some wonderful podcasts on their channel and recently I heard an interesting discussion about the tech industries impact of the city of San Francisco. Working people have been driven out of the Bay Area into shitty Oakland for a long time as wealthy tech elites have flocked to the region taking advantage of the cultural amenities and beauty of the Bay Area.


Basically this slate discussion talked about how these wealthy tech people are bubbling themselves from everyone else who is not part of the San Francisco tech scene and I don't just mean in terms of friendship and parties. These people are going to network with whoever they think it will benefit them. What really got me is how google employees have their own segregated transportation system of buses where they can avoid the common people and have even more reasons for feeling like the left coasts nobility. The ability of a class of people to basically wall themselves from everyone else is a sudden development in society and something the high end tech industry has been doing all these years with little acknowledgment. They are just now expanding it to the public sphere and the in your face exclusion of google workers from having to deal with outsiders is catching notice. As an urbonalogist yuppies separating themselves from mainstream workers is not new but now they are actually going for total income segregation. The fairness of  society where already highly pampered employers are given total benefits in society that non-googleites are not able to enjoy particularly shows inequality spread by the tech industry in cities.  The over value of google workers and resources enable their workforce to enjoy the fruits of life at the expense of others and the people Google is so trying hard to separate its workforce from having ever to deal with.

Uruguay legalizes pot

Lionel Wagner


The country of Uruguay is my country of the year for their brave decision to finally wage war and end the illegal drug trade that has been battled across the Americas. The brave decision to finally do something and legalize pot could only be started in a small country like Uruguay and hopefully other nations see he benefit of quitting their current practice of imprisoning addicts of weed that pose little danger to society. What did provide a danger was the illegal trade and distribution from territorial underground sellers that were usually backed by dangerous gangs and the faster their income is dealt with the quicker we can see their influences start to wane.

The drugs war accomplished nothing except getting more people in the system and enriching lawyers and courts al over the world. This is the basis of why it will take a little longer in America for people to see the light and example lit by Uruguay. Eventually a movement will form in America too as people get tired of seeing family members locked up for a crime that is increasingly be allowed elsewhere in the free world.

Young Chicago graduates can't let go and move on to reality

Baxter Lomax


   Bloomberg magazine had a story about the popularity of Chicago bars on the White North side yuppieville neighborhoods paying alliegences to college football teams and identifying with some big ten schools. These bars do this to be the loyal crowd of folks that act an still think they are on campus. As bars do this it exemplifies with the type of people that go to college and are into sports. They want to be part of something at the exclusion of others and the minuscule 1500 Nebraska alumni that fill a couple of these bars such as Kirkland and Division Ale house shows what is wrong with society.










These people basically just want to hang out with people like them down to following the team from their own state. Chicago's bars with owners who could care less about the college football team that they business align themselves with just as long as these over paid twenty somethings keep coming in and spending hundreds. They spend these hundreds because they have tis money and longing to return to the days when they lived in a place filled wit people of the age of the younger men playing football on the bars big screen. It must be a culture shock when they take a job to a big city and see people serving them coffee at Dukin Donuts that are "gasp" not young nor white. So naturally falling back to a bar that features all games on all TV screens featuring the college they went to and escape culturally from the rest of America is like a reunion whether they really followed football or not in their seven years at Iowa or Kansas universities. one can only hope they are given an Obamacare bill where the free willing spending of hundreds of dollars watching college football comes to an end.

Karen Ho's book looks at investment banking scams

Karen no is a anthropology professor in Minnesota somewhere and she went undercover to wite an comprehensive study of Wall Street firms in her book liquidated . This book took along time to read and some parts I had to read twice but basically the book is about how the culture of quick firings in financial services puts ascertain culture and outlook of these folks. The people in this industry many times have the fates of workers in other industries on their hand and gives them a feeling of power that they yield on others. Layoffs are a fAbric of investment banking and Karen worked several years in this field to study their habits. She highlights people she talked and met in this journey through this industry that cuts other industries yet constantly needs government to bail them out and retain their bonuses.

  As Karen points out they make demands to corporations to keep capital cheap so stocks remain high for their shareholders. At times the people in invent,ent backing make great bonuses and salaries although often their job can come to an end 

overnight. All of the people in the top firms come from a few Ivy League schools and most likely influential families and the sense of entitlement is ridiculously high from these people. They feel they are the brightest people in America and deserve to be paid that way.   I beleive most of people working in inventment banking only get to top schools and many times cheat their way to top grades in college. The work that they do usually does not involve economic productivity and they are never paid for actual performance but for number of translations just moving money around. 

They get these tremendous bonuses regardless how bad their investing is. Karen shows that the people in investment banking and Wall Street are basically there from the White male networks and for other people it is hard to join this exclusive club. This is a club that few could imagine as there is no cap or pay for performance and they can be as bad as one can be in investing yet retain positions and verios jobs in the field depending on who they know. Karen no pretty much sums up the trading world as a banking structure primarily focused on getting as many deals done in short term regardless the consequences for society and their power and ability to capital is what keeps them powerful with government making their own rules and lobbying against any that would regulate these bastards.

Nick Digilio talks about best holiday movies

Ed West

  Nick Digilio was on WGN radio the other day talking about the best christmas movies over the years and as I have repeated over and over his lame radio program is nothing but a front for promoting Hollywood. Hollywood uses this direct marketing subtle advertising through a variety of media platforms to get zombie society of the West interested in what really is a bad awful art product we see coming from California. Sales has stagnated over here and that is why you see such a determination in gutting to the Chinese market. Clogs like Digilio will spend much of their broadcasting time talking and praising some movies through their corporate media time. Movies are distractions for the youth of today whose future is really at stake in the political arena they too often ignored instead showing more interest in the size of Kim Kardashian's dress size instead of the size of next years budgets and aid to their state schools. Having people in the media who ignore real issues and just talk about tv shows is one way the corporate masters accomplish their goals.

Waves of Latin American looting cause anxiety to elites worldwide

Ali Muhammed

    Mobs in Argentina took advantage of a police strike and looted through several cities to pillage shops a week or so in Argentina. I rushed to location to get the story as looting of this sorts really worries the IMF and world Bank. Eight people were killed in the rioting of five cities throughout Argentina. What helped lead to the crisis was a country wide strike by police in all provinces in this country as even the elites want to cut the costs of the forces that protect them and their businesses. In the apply named city of Resistencia looters and police were killed in clashes over vegetable produce and cheap Chinese made furniture. The surging inflation in this country has made even more difficult for the poor to keep up. banditry will rise if nothing is done to improve the living conditions of the people who are having difficult times to make ends meet. In fact, some of the scenes looked right out of the wild west as some looters actually used their horses to make a quick get away from the local sheriffs. I was totally amazed of some of the scenes I witnessed. Looting was ended when the government of Cristina Kirchner finally realized that maybe paying a better wage to the nations police force was in the best interest of these shopkeepers and people alike.

 The prospect of more looting and destruction of their property fears many white Argentinians long accustomed to  poor and minorities accepting the caste system they were born into in Argentina's social hierarchy. This burgeoning resistance and show of revolt by the poor is having a psychological affect on wealthy classes throughout the world. An economy that does not respond to the future aspirations of a large chunk of its population will face this type of resistance that will eventually grow to full blown revolution when they realize the ruling classes have no interest in improving their economic condition. Without a doubt more looting has been spreading to parts of Latin America including Chile and Brazil and this nation will see more unless poverty is addressed and social equality promoted and enforced by a government realizing the dangers of refusing to address issues.

Mountain Pine beetle worry author Michael Levi

Gus Perkowski


  The Mountain Pine beetle is featured in this energy book called" the power surge" written by Michael Levi. The book is mostly about the hope for America to get off its current energy plan and the need for a green future. Michael takes to task the shale gas boomers and advocates for giving a false promise of tons of more energy in America's future and speaks a bit about the financial crash of 2008 and energy's role in it. Mr Levi as another proponent of the desperate race to aggressively change the course of this nations outlook on energy use and alternatives. he makes the case that only high oil prices will get Americans out of their coma and demand for big gas guzzling SUV and expensive trucks. Unfortunately many moronic Americans feel the need for one of these massively carbon producing vehicles in order to raise their head higher when out in public.
   he goes into the climate debate and what I want to talk about is the Mountain pine beetle. The life cycles of the beetle is controlled by heat and it use to be in the mountains of Colorado that in one generation the beetle would breed and die out. Now with warmer temperatures the beetle is now developing ability to live in higher altitudes and expand elsewhere as two generations of beetles are surviving the seasons. The destruction of woodland and trees this beetle has already been devastating as it expands and habits new regions it had previously been unable to reach. Warm summers and mild winters play a role in both insect survival and the continuation and intensification of an outbreak but hey there are those who believe climate change is hogwash and bullshit. They don't want to look at all the little effects that clearly point out that the climate is getting warmer and mans rigorous energy use has lead to events like this. renewable energy is the answer and as costs of this new source plummet everything needs to be done to get the infrastructure in place so Americans can continue their cuts of oil use
