    oh  I notice  some  spelling  errors  do forgive me  my hand  beat  up  a cops nightstick a  week ago at  an occupy  gathering

  • TommyD

    Please excuse my lack of understanding.

    I find it hard to follow your line of reasoning. 

    Are you promoting communism or are you denouncing it?

    Are you saying that there needs to be a resurgence of the CPUSA or that it needs to fade away into the annuls of history?

    Apart from the spelling and grammatical errors, the over all message of what you wish to convey appears jumbled and incoherent. I actually feel like I am losing IQ points just trying to understand what you wrote, much less what you are trying to say.

    "oh I notice some spelling errors do forgive me my hand beat up a cops nightstick a week ago at an occupy gathering"


    I do hope that you punished that evil night stick....on the other hand(pun intended) there is a feature of most web browsers called "spell check". It actually underlines misspelled words in red and a user can right-click on the word for suggestion to correct the mistake.

  • robert alpert

    ok  i play  there is no spell check on this machine.  I am arguing that there was a hidden civil rights movement---principally  the scu (cp)  of Alabama and that it was  a priority of the USSR . To answer your questions 1)  Personally  I would like to see an emergence  of a third period USSR or  The Black Panther  Party.  SNCC  or  an organization like it  with some modifications  would also be pleasant. I  was  trying give you some evidence  for the USSR's  role  in the  liberation movement in the  south and  yes  Communism  would be beer and skittles to me. I also  was trying  to distinguish  Bernays   work  from  a deeper  form  of  historical masking. We know  his  role in the Arbenz  affair just as  we know Leopold's role in Congo. I  was trying to distinguish that  from  what I  called historical  mythologies that  resist  falsification.  I am  sorry you cannot follow that--others  have--perhaps  you want to  check those i q  points. 

  • TommyD

    Ah, now we are getting somewhere. I am well aware of behind the scenes influences which guided the civil rights movement so this is not news to me.

       Personally I would love to see a return to true free market principles rather than the crony capitalism(corporatism) that has infected every aspect of business. I do not, nor will I ever, support communism.

      I am also much aware of the masking of history. The truth has been hidden from humanity for ages, it is nothing new. I have posted a few essays on regarding this very topic.

    I believe in freedom of the individual. Communism spits in the face of the Bill of Rights. Of course, this is just my opinion and I could be wrong.

  • robert alpert

    true  free market --well  hayek  friedman Smith (often misread) I  was not  asking you  to support  communism--but   you might want  to have  a closer  look at the  bill of  rights--e.g.   The  first  amendment as you know  was  designed to  make  possible  the free  communication about about technology--we did not want another inquisition. Have you noticed btw  that the bill  of rights  and other  laws or amendments  ((the  14the  comes to mind)) are  interpreted  in ways  that  suit what I call in my unfree  dogmatic  fashion the  ruling class--I believe  segregated  schools are illegal  by law  did  they not say that in 1954?  Have  a look  see--There is a line  from  alice in wonderland  or is it through the looking  glass that  comes to mind  but  I  cannot  quote it  due to failing iq  points but  it is  well known-- 

  • TommyD

    The Bill of Rights being amended to the Constitution was a concession made by the framers in order to get it ratified by the States. The BoR doesn't grant any rights, rather protects those that we are born with.

    The First Amendment protects freedom of speech, religious preference(or lack thereof), press, protest and redress of grievances. Of course free communication about technology is included in free speech.

    The BoR is intended to protect the People from the "ruling class" while many later amendments used legalize to trick people into voluntary servitude. (Read my blog entry titled, Sedition by Syntax).

    Being as I have never read Alice in Wonderland nor Through the Looking Glass, I have no idea about the quote to which you are referring.

    Concerning segregated schools...I never mentioned that so I have no idea why that was even brought up in this conversation.

    Would you consider homeschooling a form of segregated schooling?

  • TommyD

    * typo...legalese

  • TommyD

    Now that we have all that cleared up, maybe we can get back to the topic at hand and the purpose of this group. The impending attack on Syria by imperialistic, corporatist hell bent on global domination. I am sure that if you wished to discuss the hidden hand behind the civil rights(gov't privilege) movement, you could create a separate group and invite members.

  • robert alpert

      I  do not  I  confess  know the  purpose  of it--I   had  bet   Algeria  would be next and  folks  are  already  betting  on   whether  Iran or Venezuela   would be next.  I am  puzzled.  An easy  answer  would be  "recolonization" but  if  so  why? Africa's  economy  is  already  dependent  on  the metropolis--oil (that is why Venezuela    Africa--northern  Africa  I had thought was  already dominated--Iran  would be  a  difficult  one though I suppose Israel  could  go rogue.  Now  I  speak under correction but it beats  me---I  don't know  what do you think?

  • TommyD

    From my understanding, most of the African nations are already under some from of globalist control via the IMF and other regulations that starve their economies, people and resources. Those that rise up and become self sufficient (Libya comes to mind) are destabilized through clandestine measures such as happened with the Arab Spring uprisings. Puppet dictators are put in place until they run afoul of their globalist masters.

    In the case of Syria, Assad appears not to be in the pockets of the globalist and the propaganda machine is ramped up while so-called rebels are put in place to sow discord and incite violence. The MSM run stories demonizing the ruling regimes while candy coating the atrocities committed by so-called freedom fighters.

    It is a global chess board and the nations that refuse to be a part of this New World Order fall like dominoes and the corporatist move in to take over all industry in said nation.

    I do not know if Syria will be attacked by NATO forces overtly but I have a strong feeling that the legitimate government of that country will be replaced in the near future. Quite possibly, the only thing that has prevented this from occurring is the fact that Russia has deep financial and strategic ties with Syria.

      If somebody was lynching me, I would then accept Stalin's help until he fell asleep. then I would run as fast as only a cat or rabbit could.

  • robert alpert

    I  agree  mirablu dictu --however I thought the  IMF  hand  gone into Libya c 2006 and Libya  was  getting  less self  sufficient but  I  have not  worked that up.  Had  you said  Bosnia I would  have agreed --oops  we did  that one (good   guy  bad guy does not figure in this) I had thought  that  directly or indirectly   Egypt  Libya  and  Syria  were  dominated by  globalist  control  --Iran is  a  different  story and her  I had thought  Russia  would  come into play.  So I remain puzzled  Latin America  on the   other hand seems to  be  following  your  scenario   I do  not  have the  competence  to make  sense of it--but  don't  count out Venezuela

  • TommyD

    There are many conflicting reports concerning Libya's self sufficiency. I was under the impression that Gaddafi had balanced the budget, was in the process of (or had already done so) creating their own commodity based currency and the infrastructure was equal, if not greater than, many first world nations.

    Venezuela is a tricky situation. I believe the proximity to the U.S.A. and the backing of Russia is a main factor as to why the US "officially" ignores Venezuela. Much like the condemnation of human rights abuses around the world while committing similar, if not worse one within our own borders.

    It is the epitome of hypocrisy...in the same vein as yelling and screaming about Iran gaining nukes while a nation that we have been at war with, albeit under a cease fire, for decades has officially stated that they have nukes (N.Korea) and we do nothing.

  • apeman2502

      And , in maintaining consistency with what I do today, if I saw others being lynched, I would do what I could to ensure they got a fair trial and any punishment fit the crime first. That is another part of why our Bill of Rights and Constitution is so important. They worked all this stuff out in the presence of contemporaries instead of having death and Doberman eggs shoved down their throats amid shreaks of sadist laughter from minions of queen lizard and the rest of the genetic slag royal wankers, like Obummer, the Bush cabal, lying Hillary and the rest of those molesters and trolls, including the mewling, prancing congress. They get a 9% approval rate and their response is to declare Martial law. Well I have a few declarations of my own, of the people by the people, and for the people, which blows today's congress and Obummer straight to hell without me firing a shot. Graft and vice get you 8 miles high, only for awhile. It is the only life they have ever known.

    U.S. troops may soon be used to protect the Trans-Afghan Pipeline in Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Construction on the pipeline will begin in 2010 and continue through 2015 and beyond, but only after the region is secured. Since the U.S. interfered with the original contracts awarded to the Bridas Corp (from Argentina), the Pashtun and Taliban tribal forces are not so interested in Unocal's counter-offer, which was extended by Hamid Karzai (a former Unocal consultant). This means either the U.S. will have to commit genocide to secure the area, or our troops will be sitting ducks while guarding the pipeline through each phase of its construction. Wasn't there supposed to be another reason we invaded Afghanistan?

    Unocal proposed building the Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline to congress in 1998 to provide oil and natural gas to several Asian markets. Regardless of their stated intentions, they had to pull the ruling Taliban away from agreements they had with the Bridas Corp to convince them to sign on with Unocal instead (which eventually got backing from the US government). Enter Iran as the new kid on the block. They offered a pipeline to cross the southern part of Pakistan which would cover less harsh territory and cause far fewer tribal disputes over pumping oil and gas to India and Pakistan. Do you see a potential conflict here?

    Russian navy in Syria: Thorn in US side

    “What’s involved here is that the Russians have a naval base in Syria, and the Americans don’t want a Russian naval presence in the Mediterranean. And, just as in Libya, the problem was the Chinese oil investments. If Syria goes, Iran is in the target sites, and Lebanon,” he concluded.

    begs the question...IMPENDING

    The terrorist attacks in Damascus massacred men, women and children. Bodies were ripped to pieces. Yet Western government and "human rights" organizations and the "independent" press refused to say what any decent human being would say: that these attacks were crimes against humanity and should be unequivocally condemned.

    Conspiracy theory was also the order of the day in the editorial offices of Sky News, who gave much credence to the claims of the "opposition" that the Syrian government planted the bombs themselves.

    Sky News was also convinced of a diabolical plot hatched by the Assad régime so as to discredit the "peaceful pro-democracy" groups who oppose the government. So, it seems conspiracy theory has finally invaded the pages of the mainstream media.

    According to Wikipedia, the term conspiracy theory "is sometimes used to automatically dismiss claims that are deemed ridiculous, misconceived, paranoid, unfounded, outlandish or irrational."

    The idea that the Syrian government, which is facing all-out warfare from Western powers under the Orwellian "responsibility to protect" doctrine, is surely worthy of such adjectives as "ridiculous," "misconceived," "paranoid," "unfounded," "outlandish," and "irrational."

    US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will meet members of the Syrian opposition in Geneva today, in a gesture of support for them in the face of an eight-month crackdown by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

    US officials said Clinton would meet seven opposition members in Geneva, where she is to give a speech on human rights. It will be her second such meeting in six months, following a similar gathering in Washington in July.

    (Tehran, FNA) The Fars News Agency has confirmed with the Republican Guard’s North American Operations Command that a new elite Iranian commando team is operating in the U.S.-Mexican border region. The primary day-to-day mission of the team, known as the Joint Special Operations Gulf of Mexico Task Force, or JSOG-MTF, is to mentor Mexican military units in the border areas in their war with the deadly drug cartels.  The task force provides “highly trained personnel that excel in uncertain environments,” Maj. Amir Arastoo, a spokesman for Republican Guard special operations forces in North America, tells Fars, and “seeks to confront irregular threats...”

    The unit began its existence in mid-2009 -- around the time that Washington rejected the Iranian leadership’s wish for a new diplomatic dialogue. But whatever the task force does about the United States -- or might do in the future -- is a sensitive subject with the Republican Guard.  “It would be inappropriate to discuss operational plans regarding any particular nation,” Arastoo says about the U.S

    DOING A 'LIBYA' IN SYRIA ...

    … THE BIG LIE ABOUT A 'PEOPLES' REVOLUTION'

    The David Icke Newsletter Goes Out On Sunday

    The recurring blueprint is so obvious and what the puppet politicians say to justify its various stages are almost word for word the same. Hillary Clinton's speeches about Gaddhafi have basically only replaced his name with Assad before being redelivered to save the paper.

    The desperation to crack on with more killing and conquest on the road to an attack on Iran is making it so easy to see what the game is. How appropriate that the Libyan National Transitional Council - now recognised as the 'legitimate' government of the country - has pledged to give $100 million in 'humanitarian aid' (yeah, right) to the Syrian 'opposition civilians and activist rebel forces'.

    Syria's opposition forces have been 'given permission' to open an office in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and that is only right given that many of the 'rebels' that fought against Gaddhafi on NATO's behalf are now on the ground in Syria doing the same to unseat Assad. 'Radical Jihadists' (what the American government calls 'Al-Qaeda') are also in Syria targeting the Assad regime, as they were in Libya.

    Hypocrisy often comes with an enormous dose of irony, but then 'my enemy's enemy is my friend'.

    'Hey, Abdul, we've got the wrong flag - we're in Syria now. Quick, who's got a Syrian flag?'

    Does U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton want confrontation and war in the Middle East or dialogue, reconciliation and peace? Her pronouncements and policies during her visit to the region last weekend suggest impatient belligerence. She seems intent on spreading mayhem, to the puzzlement and anxiety of many of the locals, as I discovered on a visit which coincided with hers.
