Globalism will end

  Troy York

    The demise of globalization is written about and the rise of nationalism and the nation-state that globalization was suppose to wipe out is written about in this clear detailed book called "The Collapse Of Globalism", by author John Ralston Saul. He dismisses the economic theories that had predicted a new global order would put economics above culture, language, civilization, and religion in a world with much conflict as ever as before between competing groups fighting for smaller shares of needed resources. The promised future of a world with free trade is explained and its failure is the premise of this book. The miser of open-markets and its dire consequences is one of main reasons the backlash against this order has arisen.

Sal says the aura of inevitably surrounding globalization that criticism and resistance was imperceptible allowing this insane process to proceed and wreck harbor on much of the world  in the short-term cost advantages that made a small class super wealthy and more politically powerful. The ignorance of globalists in understanding g how human societies change slowly was something this economic theory should of been prevented and not allowed to accelerate as it has because it brought profits to a few already at the top. Global economics came to be a tool to weaken governments, weaken tax bases and force deregulation who it could create a corporatist private technocracies that hoard all of the wealth for their selfish global purposes and wars of accumulation.

The author points out how much of this was done deforming economical thought in departments of economics around college campuses as neo-conservative think tanks helped spend money to influence professors for resigning to this theory.

   Mr Saul shows how globalism has produced more monopolies and squashed innovation as corporate gigantism is what runs economies now around the world. In a world where mergers and acquisitions act just to move money around getting opting accomplished aside from making demand for more money printing to keep unprofitable companies afloat and pockets of those in finance full. Its purpose seems to be to enforce job insecurity and ability of rulers to cut costs and make people suffer under this false system that was promised to be better for everyone. This book gives a good history of the rise of globalization and its eventual fall as people resist and fall back on ethnicity and importance of culture against the onslaught that tried to united the world under free markets. Te growing  disconnect between globalist systems and the lives people live and are being squeezed by is often discussed and laid blame for the increase of brutal conflicts the world has seen since the late eighties.

South Korean little league baseball team captures America's hearts

Bradly Handly

   Congratulations to South Korea for winning the 2014 little league World Series. This was the feel good story in what has been another boring summer of baseball and you could not help to feel good for the South Korea little league baseball team. They had an incredible run in the little league World Series and were the talk of the nation and the world as these guys prevailed and showed the world what they could do the South Korean team was lead by great play from star players.  and played their hearts out winning their nations second little league World Series.

It was great to see a team made up of all Koreans play and win this all American of American sports and the rates for this little league was at an all time high as the Chicago the nation, and the liberal press got behind this story of the South Korean little league run. Asian teams continue to dominate the little league World Series and have done so pretty much since the late sixties as the little league World Series truly became a World Series.This was a great achievement for these boys from Korea and the admiration and love America showed them because of their Koreaness was totally amazing. Baseball fans show no color blindness and to be able to make this Korean team the national good-will feel good news story with constant press coverage of their games and achievements and glory on the field was an incredible moment in American youth sports history. There is even talk of president Obama inviting the South Korean team to the White House because they won this great championship and consisted of kids from one particular town in South Korea. His would be a first and they would be the first international team to be I voted and lay praise on from an Kenyan president. If only Major League Baseball could have these feel good sports stories that little league seem to be able to obtain. 

David Pakman's refusal to support USA soccer

Bud Cooper

   David Pakman has a hugely followed liberal podcast trough the Internet and he has some following here at the Left Shark with some of our ultra-liberal writers. They have this jerks podcast on often and there is so e grumbling of some of us having to hear all this liberal bull shit. I put on Mark Levin to drain out some of the noise but the thing wanted to talk about David Pakman is ow he resents the new technocratic young immigrants that come to America and take advantage of their skills and still love the motherland more.

Make no doubt that. David Pakman,while not an engineer is a technocratic globalist. Actually David is a media technocratic internet globalist whose loyalties are from a worldview and not American. Any chance he gets to attack old America  and its values he does but nothing represents his disdain for America more than the teams he was rooting for in this summers World Cup. His first team he was rooting for was Argentina which wing that he was born there is quite understandable. The second team he was rooting to win the World Cup was Uruguay which like Argentina is another white South American nation. Even thou he is obviously an Ashkenazy Jew David tries to come across that he is some Latino on his podcast. The third team that Mr Pakman was rooting for in this years World Cup was ...Colombia.

Now you would think after fifteen years of adopting America as his country and swearing oath to this nation that maybe the third team he should root for was the American national soccer team. Instead he picks another South American team and Mr Pakman let it be known often that these were the three teams he was hoping to see win the World Cup and dismissed his lack of interest in Americas team despite the fact many fans brought it up in his call-in line. David Pakman is just typical of these already wealthy globalists that come to America just to take advantage of the safty,infrastructure and other tax and money benefits that evidently his old country no longer provided to their entrepreneurship abilities. There are a myriad of reasons that these lung rich people come to America but love of new country is not the reason and immigration is all economic for the most part and why it should immediately be curtailed to an end. 

Left Shark endorses Mary Burke over dweeb Scott Walker

Troy York

    There are some seventy days left for the Wisconsin governors ace between Scott Walker and Mary Burke. We here at the Left shark fully endorse Ms Burke I. This ver important race for unions that has the eyes of the nation. Scott Walker has been a disaster to workers rights and an attack on public service workers basically is an attack on all workers.

 Republicans have carefully crafted a design to takeover state houses and basically run down the rights of collective bargaining for increased wages and power that workers took a long time to fight and attain. The fact that one dirty politician can amend these rights anytime he wants and use outside money to make decisions on important economic matters for families is enough cause for concern for the modern day political process. Scott Walker is a dick head and needs to be quickly made irrelevant on the political  stage in Wisconsin as this is a progressive state that deserves better. Mary Burke will win this election and poll numbers have shifted dramatically after Walkers latest solicitation donation scandal. This squirmy politician is one of the most hated politicians in his state and talk of this man being a presidential candidate has ended quickly as the American people discovered more about Scott Walker and the ambitions of the groups giving him millions of dollars. A Scott Walker defeat will be a wake up call to other big money donors who will realize that the mere fact they continue to back politicians to lower the wage of workers so they can make more profits is a political suicide tactic. A tactic surely to surge opposition pass them in elections as people become more in

formed in elections around the country where big outside in influential.

Pakistan protests rock country and fear policy makers in America

Ali Muhammad

   Pakistan is being rocked by protests and perhaps the last thing the United States wants is another dictatorship it supports to fall. Cricket-turned-politician Imran Khan is leading the charge after being angered in losing the election. Last year in what he calls a rigged vote. He calls for Nawaz Sharif to step down as prime minister and his corrupt role in fifteen months that have seen him appointing family members and friends in key posts and has ruled as a monarch since winning the election. This of course has been funded by the Americans that have channeled millions into Pakistan. Thousands of protestors have taken to the streets threatening to take over government buildings if this guy doesn't step down as prime minister. If Pakistan ever goes it will get real complicated and messy and there is no way as in Egypt the American empire will ever let these people actually self-determine the leadership for their own country.

 Pakistan has been ruled by the military for most of its existence and undoubted the military will step in again if this issue isn't resolved with the prime minister and the protestors. Pakistani Muslims have wanted a theocracy for a long time but keep getting thwarted each time by the very false promoters of democracy in the West that time in and time out prevent real elections resulting in real victories. These protests hopefully will bring about real change where corruption and foreign influence ends and Pakistan can actually be a nation that is not run by crony capitalist money exchanged between America and a Pakistani elite that does not have the best interests of their country in mind. Imran Khan may be a new  Genghis Khan combination of Adolf Hitler and the great Khan thanks to Western neo-colonialism that is still trying to prevent full-fledged democracy in other countries if it doesn't serve their economic interests. I hope the best for Imran Khan and democracy in Pakistan. he seems like a pretty cool dude that has much following and is against American drone terrorism.

Burger King another tax dodging corporation

Arturo Armando
   The fast-food giant Burger King is causing discontent as another American company that is seeking to avoid taxes to the country that helped it get its start. Burger King bought the Canadian Tim Horton's chain of cheap coffee and its not making people happy North of the border. Unlike in this country the Canadians love their coffee chain that like Dunkin Donuts is everywhere and pushed mom and pop family run businesses out of the market. Nobody in America would really care or notice if Dunkin Donuts was bought out by a foreign company as most of the retail chains outlet were obviously run by people in one region of the world.

Tim Horton's is another story and perhaps its availability was seeked out for other ulterior motives of Burger King. Most are saying that the purchase is a tax inversion and President Obama has long waited to take measures to stop this tax avoidance methods from companies more willing to spend on advertising and purchases than necessary tax revenue the government needs to repair roads and etc. This is another example of a company taking advantage of the system and receiving subsidies so they can choose where their money goes usually into the advertising budgets or CEO and management compensation and not the front line workers that actually make face to face contact of the mundane purchases of everyday business. Until something is done more and more companies will continue to abuse this country leaving it for foreign places adding nothing to the economy of this nation except cheap service jobs and dumb marketing gimmicks. This deal is just a bog corporate giant that is ugly in cheap buildings in America buying out another big corporation that is ugly and in cheap buildings all over Canada as corporations try desperately too move North America into a union.

Dan Carlin rallies against police again

Ed West

   Dan Carlin is its of Common Sense podcast on the Internet and basically he shod just rename the podcast uncommon sense or police block. His podcasts in the past year have been all about people being desensitized to the militarization of the police force and the deployment of warfare equipment into the streets by the police is a result of the security state. This is a guy that says he remembers the Los Angels riots yet perhaps he forgot the destruction of property and buildings during this riot. Carlin likely didn't want guns to be pointed during that uprising but what the turkey forgets to bring up in the podcast is that this country is no longer in a position to take the financial lists of massive sixties style riots.

Dan Carlin will emit bullshit about police not being soldiers and looking and acting like soldiers. Police are a para-military wing and always have been and it is amazing that a guy like Dan Carlin that merits respect out in the podcasting world, often being listed as  having the top ones in the nation, would say such stupid stuff and question trained police tactics about crowd and riot control over the years. He questions why politicians do to get involved and side with the criminal class. Siding with three hundred pound muggers who get shot by going for a cops gone will really go well with middle America. Good call Dan.

   Dan also says and asks when was the last time a crowd of protestors rushed a police line. Occupy Wall Steet and NATO protests were not apparently witnessed by Fan and there were several protestor charges towards police lines. Dan may of been out of the country during these events. For some reason Dan has an anti-police feeling and basically wouldn't want police to have guns at any protests that are large and could go awry and get ugly very quickly. Molotov cocktails were being thrown at the police in Ferguson yet Dan made four or five comments that police should be fired for pointing weapons at a crowd. Police do not have weapons and this new military hardware to be ostentatious. The military hardware is because of years of unruly college crowds that riotous drunken revelry threatened the safety of cops. Why should police go into a situation not have protection for their personal safety as a public officer and a target of the unruly dangerous crowd. I they had these militarized police force I guarantee that the La riots and the black urban destruction of the sixties would never occur. This is ostensibly the reason why guys like Dan Carlin and other extreme anti-police activists hate the idea of police having tanks to control a crowd that wants to cause havoc and property destruction. 

Jacob Hornburger upset at our dealings with communists in Vietnam

Arnold Buckley

  Jacob Hornburger is some little dweeb blogger who recently wrote an article about Vietnam and appeared on the Scott Horton program. H is still not only fighting the Cold War but this libertarian jackass is still fighting the Vietnam War. He was really upset that Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey made a trip to Vietnam to court alliances with ..get this communists.

Jacob Hornburger asked what was the point of fighting Vietnamese communists if now we are going to some defense pact with the communists over the power of another massive communist state that is China. Obviously communists is something Mr Hornburger disdains by the mere fact that he said communists like sixty times in his interview on fellow libertarian Scott Hortons little listened to program. Mr Hornburger should be mad that the fifty eight thousand Americans who were sacrificed were not sacrificed by communists but by government ineptitude to control a country that wanted communists. An alliance between America and a communist  Vietnam is a good thing and will show how far we have come through getting out of our political prejudices when concerning foriegn diplomacy especially ones that make sense.when The mere fact that out security state sees an alliance with tis nation that kicked out capitalist  neo-liberal asses has nothing to do with an injustice was decades ago. Perhaps Mr Hornburger is not set in to the fact that all these nations around China feel threatened by China's growing assertiveness in the Sea of China region. Jacob Hornburget has no clue and thinks that Vietnamese communists would use these weapons on their own people and further terrorize them despite the fact there is little political instability and Vietnam is opening up its markets to foreign investment. If it bothers the nuts like Jacob then it is a good thing to see our top generals visit Vietnam and make new inroads in  repairing relations in this country and beg for forgiveness in our unjust atrocities and aggression because of morons like Jacob Hornburger over the years had too much influence in American foreign policy. Like I said this dweeb is still fighting the Vietnam War and someone should tell his ass that we lost and the ..communists won.

Rick Morrissey questions Mike Ditka's redskin term usage

Guy Baldwin

   Mike Ditka is an old man and usually old men who have been rewarded through corporate practices of financially throwing money in the sports industrial complex want little change. This is a man whose only claim to fame if from being a loud jerk and a football coach for a number of years. A man who proudly recalled how he beat the shit out of his brother for dropping a fly ball in a game he was pitching. Mike Ditka is a sociopath psychotic deranged old geezers and his defense of Daniel Snydors insistence of insulting Native peole with the nickname redskins was shameful. Last week Mike Ditka said it is an honor and respect of naming Indians. If Indians were ever in a position to own multi billion sports franchises and industries maybe they could repay guys like Ditka and name the team the Custers some day.

   Rick Morrissey wrote a great article on-line and in the paper about the intolerance of the redskin name and how ignorant Ditka was even getting involved and blaming liberals for wanting to change this precious name. Ditka says that it has been the name since they were founded and just that fact should never have it forced upon them for change. Morrissey brought up the point that Mike likely would never travel to the Dakotas and call out the term redskin to anyone he encountered. Mike Ditka is a dummy but not this much and the reason he wouldn't use the term redskin in the face of an Native American is that he dam well knows it is a racial derogatory term not unlike calling others repulsive racist terms reserved for black comedians. Ditka personally would only used the term in making idiotically laced interviews on lame Redskin fan podcasts as he did this past week. I'm sure if he did use the term redskin in the face of a strong, young Native American Mike would get a tomahawk chop to his seventy four year old neck making his skull numb like the numbskull coach Ditka is showing the world he is. No doubt corporate money over the years is getting this fuck Mike Ditka more outspoken as he worries about politicians like Barack Obama changing things he finds precious and we all know this includes keeping a racist vile nickname in place in our nations capital.
