Several
countries including the United States of America and Cuba insist that, their
citizens who travel to Ebola infected countries cannot return directly.
They
are required to be in quarantines for 21 days to provide assurance that they
are free from Ebola before returning to their countries of origin.
These
countries believe that if this measure is strictly adhered to, it will prevent
the outbreak of Ebola on their territories.
However,
the problem is that in implementing this measure, the United States of America
has put Ghana at considerable risk.
The
Insight has picked up credible information that several US diplomats and
officials from the Ebola stricken areas are virtually using a top hotel in the
airport area in Accra as a “quarantine”.
The
problem is that, these guests are not subject to any restrictions. They live in
the hotel for 21 days as normal guests.
If
any of them should have Ebola within the 21 days of “quarantine”, they could spread
it like wild fire.
One
source asked “If the US wants quarantine why doesn’t it build a proper one
which would assure Ghanaians of safety?”
Perhaps,
it is time for the Ghanaian medical authorities to take up this issue and
ensure full protection for all residents.
Editorial
PUBLIC SAFETY
On
the front page of this issue is the story of how a hotel in Accra has been
turned into a centre for keeping persons from Ebola infected countries for 21
days before they proceed to their countries of origin.
It is obvious that what is really happening is
that these guests are abusing Ghanaian hospitality.
Indeed,
the practice is meant to ensure that if any of these guests get Ebola, it
breaks out in Ghana and not in their country of origin.
The Insight calls on the Ghanaian
health authorities to stop this practice immediately.
If
the US wants to set up quarantine for its officials working in the Ebola
afflicted countries, it should do so properly.
The
misuse of Ghanaian hotel facilities for preventing an Ebola outbreak in the US
is not acceptable.
SUDANESE AMBASSADOR
SPEAKS

| H.E Mohammed Elamin |
The
Ambassador of the Republic of the Sudan to Ghana, His Excellency Babikir
Elsiddiq Mohamed Elamin says there would be a high powered delegation from
Sudan to participate in the upcoming 8th Pan African Congress in Ghana.
“Undoubtedly, Pan African Congresses are very
big platforms used to discuss the issues of Africa and the African people. I
guess when the invitations are sent, there would be a very high powered
delegation to participate in the 8th Pan African Congress. We look forward to
participating in a very successful congress.”
His
Excellency Babikir Elsiddiq Mohamed Elamin also said that, citizens of Africa
should never allow the borders to be used to undermine their brotherhood and
sisterhood. Ambassador Babikir Elsiddiq made the comments in an exclusive
interview with the Insight Newspaper on Monday January 5th 2015, few days after
the Sudanese people celebrated the 59th independence anniversary.
Below
is the full text of the interview conducted by Dauda Mohammed.
Q: What is currently the
general situation in Sudan today?
A: Sudan today is going
through a process of political and social transformation. The conflict with
south Sudan that effectively ended with the signing of a comprehensive peace
agreement in 2005 and south Sudan became independent since 2011. That decision
was taken by the government of Sudan to allow the people to exercise of self
determination in the light of promoting peace and stability.
We
are the first country to have recognised south Sudan because if some reasons we
are not able to be one country, then we have to be good neighbours. Te
separation of south Sudan is a political reality now but culturally, economically
and socially, the two countries are largely integrated. As I am speak now,
there about 500, 000 of south Sudan people living in Sudan. Some of the people
are actually refugees due to this unfortunate conflict in south Sudan. This is
mention just to show how our government is committed to building a sustainable
peace with our neighbours. Now we are going through a national dialogue that
includes all stakeholders to develop a lasting peace and development.
There
is national forum that is planning on having a new constitution and also to
agree on things for the upcoming general elections in April this year. Sudan is
surrounded by different conflicts and political instability in neighboring
countries. For instance there is conflict in Central African Republic; there is
conflict in South Sudan and conflict in Libya.
Nevertheless, the land of Sudan is very stable and we are working more
to consolidate the stability.
Economically
we are doing very fine because the country was largely depending on the oil and
since the independence of south Sudan which means about 70% of the oil reserves
are gone, we have been able to manage that shock. Sudan is the third largest
producer and exporter of gold in Africa. Sudan is witnessing a lot of
development in terms of infrastructure like airports, roads, universities and
many more.
Q: The Sudanese people recently celebrated the 59th
independence anniversary on January 1st 2015. What does this independence mean
to for your country and Africa at large?
A:
The significance of the independence of Sudan to Africa is very obvious because
Sudan is the first African country to have gained independence following the
end of the Second World War. One of the promises for taking part in the second
world war for the colonial powers to grant the rights of self determinations to
the African countries. So Sudan was the first African country to get its
independence.
Sudan
also has a very symbolic value for Africa. People always say Sudan is a
microcosm of Africa and that actually is a reality. Geographically, the
location of Sudan is very unique. Sudan can be said to be part of three
different African regions. It is part of North Africa, part if east Africa and
part of central Africa. And Sudan shares borders with about seven different
African countries. We have border with Egypt which is typically a North African
country, south Sudan which is part of east Africa, Chad which is part of
Central African Republic. Sudan has very strong ties with the rest of African
countries.
For
example there are about two million people in Sudan who speak Hausa as their
main dialogue. It is a fact that most of the cultural and ethnic groupings in
Africa have representatives in Sudan. Sudan serves as the melting pot of the
African continent.
The
independence of Sudan has this symbolism because immediately after the
independence in 1956, Sudan was very active in the establishments and supports
of African institutions to fasten the liberations of the African countries.
There is this well known story of South Africa leaders, nelson Mandela visiting
Sudan after he was chosen as the leader of the military wing of the anc. He was
allowed to enter Sudan with his entourage though he was not holding travelling
document.
Sudan
is also a founding member of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) which is
now African Unity and has prominently contributed to the progress of the
African unity concept. Even the opening of the embassy of the republic of the
Sudan in Accra in 1960s, was part of that broad cooperation with liberation
leaders to promote African agenda.
Q: President John
Dramani Mahama recently said that the borders of Africa will no longer be used
to undermine the brotherhood and sisterhood of its citizens. What specific
efforts are the embassy of the republic of the Sudan made o increase
cooperation between the two countries?
A: The embassy is
committed to make it easy for all people who are interested in visiting Sudan.
And let me use this opportunity to encourage Ghanaians to visit Sudan in order
to explore the opportunities there.
Currently,
there about eighty Ghanaian students in the international university of Africa
located in Khartoum. That university is exclusive for the African students.
They are on full scholarship including accommodations, feeding and tuition fees
and they are studying all the kinds of discipline as medicine, engineering,
nursing and others. We have a number of Ghanaian footballers playing in Sudan
and even now the former black star couch is in Sudan on contract. So you can see
that we are exploring all the avenues to work together as African people.
We
are looking forward for a day when the African people would travel across the
continent without the need for visas.
And in our case as I sated earlier, we have common borders with about
seven different countries and there is no strict requirements for people to
enter Sudan from those borders. These borders that separate our continent were
actually drawn by the colonial masters and really they are not being recognised
by the people on the grounds.
We
in Sudan are in full agreement with His Excellency President John Dramani
Mahama that the borders should never be used to undermine the brotherhood and
sisterhood of the African citizens. After all, those borders were not created
by the Africans themselves so therefore Africans should not suffer from its
existence. The European powers that drew the borders are themselves moving fast
on integrating the European countries and removing the borders.
Q: In 1958, the republic
of the Sudan was among the eight (8) independent States of Africa that met in
Accra to evolve the concept of African unity. How would you assess the progress
made, if any, towards the African people working together on a united front?
Of
course considering the time our forefathers evolved the concept, by now we
should have being experiencing more solid achievements in terms of
infrastructure on the ground just as we are seeing in the case of the European
Union. The European Union had also started their integration almost around the
same period.
My
assessment is that much needs to be done in order to actually translate the
lofty concept of our founding fathers of the African unity into a reality.
Interestingly, unlike in the European continent, we in Africa have not had that
history of bloody wars. So I believe strongly that the unity of the African
people is achievable.
Q: Ghana under the
leadership of Excellency President John Dramani Mahama is preparing to host the
8th Pan African Congress sometime this year. How is the Republic of the Sudan
under His Excellency President Omar Hassan Ahmed Basher going to participate in
the Congress?
A: Sudan actively
participated in the 7th Pan African Congress in Kampala in 1994. During that
congress, the republic of Sudan sent a high ranking delegation to participate
in the Kampala congress about twenty (20) years ago.
His
Excellency President Omar Hassan Ahmed Basher and the general population of the
people of Sudan attach very much importance to the gathering of African people.
Undoubtedly, Pan African Congresses are very big platforms used to discuss the
issues of Africa and the African people. I guess when the invitations are sent,
there would be a very high powered delegation to participate in the 8th Pan
African Congress. We look forward to participating in a very successful
congress.
Zambia:
End of the Tribal Card
 |
| Kenneth Kaunda |
By Charles Mwewa, African Executive
“And
pity, like a naked newborn babe, striding the blast, or heaven's cherubim,
horsed upon the sightless couriers of the air, shall blow the horrid deed in
every eye, that tears shall drown the wind,” Shakespeare in Macbeth, depicting
a seemly innocent deed with horrible connotations. That has been the
story of Zambia for fifty years – the start has always been promising, the end
horrible, especially for the majority poor. The same has been true in the
choice of leadership – whenever a Bemba or Nyanja was pitted against any other
tribe, it was expected a non-Bemba or non-Nyanja would not win the day.
If tribe has anything similar to race, the US and President Obama provides a compelling illustration of how merit transcends all the subjective categories of human characteristics. For years, the US went by the conception that Blacks were only good being slaves, house servants and hoarders of low-paying jobs. Leadership was never a defining mark of a Black person. This changed in 2008. And after six years, silently but efficacious, nevertheless, the US and the world now accept the unpalatable hypothesis that colour and race do not define leadership acumen.
In Zambia, the stage is set for the January 2015 presidential by-elections. It is Hakainde Hichilema (United Party for National Development – UPND); Edgar Lungu (Patriotic Front – Pf); and Nevers Mumba (Movement for Multiparty Democracy – MMD). The rest of the political parties, without sacrificing democratic surprises, do not have a chance, at least, in the 2015 elections. They may fair better in subsequent elections.
As Zambians are aware, every contending presidential candidate knows that three factors have to be overcome to become president, in this order: party in power; election rigging and corruption; tribe; and last, merit and issues. The first two factors ultimately favour the incumbency. That is why it has been very difficult, not impossible, to unseat a reigning presidential candidate. For Zambia, fortunately, events larger than life such as extreme impoverishment and corruption, have enabled Zambians choose two non-officeholders in 1991 and 2011, respectively. Is there an earth-shaking event in 2015 which can upset this unwritten rule?
First, every time a regime in power retained its power, it was relatively healthy and thriving. Kenneth Kaunda (KK) had glued UNIP together under a lurid One-Party system and went on to ruling for over 27 years. Chiluba was thriving under the mantra of the re-introduction of multiparty in Zambia flanked by a magnanimous home-empowerment scheme. Mwanawasa rallied under a prosecution of his own mentor, Frederick Chiluba.
Second, the tribal card influenced majority of outcomes. KK and Chiluba and Sata had a huge Bemba tribal advantage. Mwanawasa was close to the Bemba, and he was tolerated. Michael Sata was Bemba, and had filled key government positions with his Bemba stalwarts. Although Rupiah Banda was an incumbent, he was up against a staunch Bemba in Michael Sata as we all as a strong corrupt-MMD label, and he lost the election.
Third, it is no longer a secret that parties in power rig elections, almost at will. They also use government resources to their advantage. The point in mind is when the Post reported in December 2014 that the Lungu-tilted Pf ministers (14 of them out of 19), threatened acting president, Guy Scot, with dismissal from the party should he refuse to allow Lungu access to the national coffers to fuel his campaign. Scott succumbed, and it is no brainer, government resources will be used in the 2015 elections.
 |
| Frederick Chiluba |
In 2015, Zambia has a rare opportunity to attempt what has been elusive in years past – choose a president on meritorious grounds. This will mean digging deeper and looking at candidates from issue-based politics, not because of their tribe or party-affiliation. It might mean, for example, looking at Hakainde Hichilema and asking: What does he have which can benefit the nation? And not simply underrating him because he is not Bemba or Nyanja. It might also mean looking at Lungu and Mumba and asking: What do these two people have for Zambia other than incumbency and being a Bemba, respectively?
Meaningful change for Zambia may lie in how intelligent the Zambian electorate answers to these illustrious questions. Otherwise, in 2015 Zambia will have new faces in power but not a new economy or new and productive policies.
The moment the ruling party ceased from rigging elections through corruption. The moment the people chose their president based on merit and not tribe. The moment issues (such as how to grow the economy, end poverty and create new and thriving jobs for the masses) were prioritised and not whims and empty promises. The moment the people demanded for a cogent, clearly-defined and computable vision from their presidential candidates. The moment Zambia voted for a deserved leader – at that moment, Zambian democracy will have graduated from being a growing democracy to a mature democracy. Could 2015 be that moment?

2014
The “Cancer Stage of
Capitalism”
As
we enter 2015, the global corporate system deepens and spreads in its
eco-genocidal effects. But the dots are not joined in their common cause across
domains. Money-value coordinates like GDP, commodity productivity and stock
market indexes are still adopted as the measures of “economic performance”
rather than life capital development which is systemically attacked rather than
advanced.
More
than any prior stage of history, we know not what we are doing at that macro
level of life organization, nor why no uptick of American sales can remotely
solve the problem of collapsing social and natural life support systems. Greece
– the world’s emblem of the sacrifice of society to debt servicing – is now 45%
more in debt than it was before the “austerity” programs started. Global social
and ecological collapse proceed in lock-step with the ruling paradigm’s
transnational corporate and bank prescriptions, and they increase in their
demands the more they fail to provide for societies life needs and development.
Fatal
mind blocks now rule that no economists see from within received models of
understanding and that no cognitive science lays bare. Unconnected spectacles
of crisis are alone reported. Obviously, no recovery from the most wasteful and
destructive economic disorder in history is possible so long as it is unseen.
This is why we continue over the long cliff of catastrophe without an evident
clue of what is happening at the macro level. As another new year opens with
all degenerate trends deepening, a point-by-point resetting of our economic
parameters to life reality is more than ever demanded. The fatally absurd
economic box within which we have been conditioned to conform at a preconscious
level remains life-blind at every step without knowledge of it.
Every
one of the 10 points of re-framing the economy to life coherence is
self-evident once seen. But every step is also revolutionary in paradigm shift
from money-capital sequence to life-capital sequence as primary system decider.
Once our thought is freed from the bars of the eco-genocidal disorder that now
misrules, no step can be reasonably denied.
1.
The One-Way Eco-Genocidal Trends
The
evidence is now overwhelming that life on earth is in systematic decline
towards collapse on all levels. But the meaning is nowhere recognized by any
economic model. We have come to know that the climates destabilize to ever
greater extremes, but do not connect this long denied reality to the deeper
macro facts that the air, soil, forests and water sources are all cumulatively
despoiled across the planet as the oceans themselves die back. Vertebrate
species simultaneously become extinct at a spasm rate across cultures and
continents, but no macro policy arrests their one-way collapse from song birds
to coral reefs to pollinators to large animals all at once. Pollution cycles
and volumes increase to endanger life systems at all levels, but no global
system reduction has been made since the Ozone protocol over 25 years ago.
All
the while, public sectors, services and regulators are defunded and dismantled
to leave ever more tens of millions of people dispossessed, but tax evasion by
the rich multiplies at the same time in one-way disastrous trend. The global
food system produces more disabling and contaminated junk than it does food
with nutritional value, while man-made non-contagious diseases from obesity to
cancer escalate into the world’s biggest killer. Corporate state wars for the
resources of the majority world never stop under false pretexts, while
transnational corporate-rights treaties to the life capital of all societies
multiply at the same time. At the core of the system, the global financial
system ceases to function for productive investment in life goods, while the
future of the next generations collapses towards 25-50% real unemployment, and
a world where no birds sing. Yet nowhere is the common cause investigated or
even conceived in the business press, education or high theory.
2.
The Moral DNA of the Cancer Stage of Capitalism
In
fact, the underlying value code driving every degenerate trend is never
defined. It is, rather, assumed without question or examination and set into
mathematical disconnect as the sole meaning of economic inquiry. Bertrand
Russell’s warning here is apposite. “Mathematics may be defined as the subject
where we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we say is
true”. The co-author of Principia Mathemtica thus nailed “neo-classical
economics” over a century ago. Yet no-one knew what it would come to mean. An
academically coded corporate rule in a completely life-blind “Economics” was instituted
with its assumption drivers hidden in symbols and closed to disconfirmation by
facts. Behind all the self-referential hocus-pocus incapable of predicting its
predictable disasters, a ruling value code crystallized to drive the world to
ruin with no-one knowing why. This moral DNA of globalization regulates beneath
consciousness by four absolute equations assumed in every moment of what is now
still masked as “the neo-liberal turn”.
Rationality
= Self-Maximizing Choice
=
Always More Money-Value for Self is Good
=
Self-Multiplying Sequences of Ever More Money to the Top Under 1%
=
the Ruling Growth System with No Committed Life Functions
=
All Else is Disposable Means to this Multiplying Pathogenic Growth
One
can test this ruling moral meta program on every degenerate trend. But because
it is not seen, the greatest of all fatal confusions comes to be built into
societies’ ruling meaning: that money-sequence growth = life value growth. No
more malignant mutation of value and meaning has ever occurred. As on the micro
level where the surrounding cell community does not recognise the multiplying
gross cells eating the life-host alive, so too on the macro social level.
Leading the mutant tides of hollowing-out dispossession and ruin of social and
ecological life hosts is a private bank system creating tidal notes of bets,
credit and debt without legal tender, and partnering with transnational
corporations in predation of local economies across the world. It loots life
and life bases as ‘necessary reforms’ everywhere it is allowed to move.
This
is why there is not inflation while trillions of new dollars are printed for
private banking operations with no life productive function. Endless slashing
of life goods in wages, benefits, social security and environmental security
take corresponding tides of money demand away from people’s lives and life
support systems as money-demand powers multiply to the non-producing top. One
can track back every step to the ruling value code at work that is taboo to
see.
3.
Contemporary Economics is a Pseudo-Science
None
of this can be seen by ‘Economics’ because it is a pseudo-science. Its ruling
categories are disconnected from reality with no life coordinates, and its
defining postulates are unfalsifiable by any facts of the world. All organic,
social and ecological life requirements are assumed away a-priori. Infinite
demand on finite resources is presupposed as sustainable. Reversibility of all
processes is taken for granted in a nineteenth-century liquid mechanics model.
Consequences follow in the long run that are predictably fatal to human and
planetary life organisation.
Yet
whatever does not fit this a-priori life-blind construction is heretical in
graduate schools supplying economic advisers to governments and corporations,
and taboo in the corporate press and media to the extent of its contradiction.
It is not only a mechanical model, but is absurdly “freedom” and “well-being at
the same time. Whatever deviates from it, conversely, is “irrational” or
“despotic”. At the system-wide level of ruling story, the plot is universal for
all societies. Purely self-maximizing atomic selves in the market are believed
to necessitate the best of possible worlds by an invisible hand of competition
ensuring lowest money costs. Life costs do not compute, and “economic growth”
is consistent with destroying all life support systems.
We
find here, in fact, the underlying form of a fanatic religion. Supra-human laws
dictate commands across peoples, and no deadly consequences diminish certitude
in its production of the optimal state for all by the perfect design of the
system. With the supreme conceit of a just-so story of dyadic market exchange
producing the best of possible worlds multiplied to infinity with no
possibility of being wrong, we find the inner logic of the global disorder. It
rules as a totalitarian creed blind to all but its own growth free of any life
value, standard or regulator.
4.
Knowledge Wins in the End, but Not Until It is Known
Societies
have thus been everywhere ‘restructured’ as subordinate functions to the
inexorable transformation of humanity and the world into ever more private
commodities and profits. This mutant value system is malignant to the marrow
with no consciousness of its derangement or ill consequences. It is taboo to
recognize what is everywhere confirmed – deregulated borderless money sequences
multiplying themselves by life-blind models, treaties and wars through all that
exists on earth whatever their destruction of human and ecological life systems.
Alarm
at the growing deadly symptoms increases across thoughtful people, but without
decoding connection. Top-down embargo on any other economic view or reality –
including by NATO wars – suppresses alternative at every level. Policies of
‘solution’ only extend the pathogenic system further. Even as the reversal of
life evolution on earth becomes undeniable under the global rule of private
money-sequence multiplication, life-coherent restructuring is anathema and
prohibited a-priori by the unexamined value system. It all seems hopeless, but
knowledge wins in the end if not suffocated. Behind every step of degeneration
lie failures of social knowledge:
(1) failure to diagnose the
regulating value mechanism at work;
(2)
failure to connect across the domains of life despoliation as predictable from
the system’s blind money-demand multiplications;
(2) failure to define or
demand any public policies against its despoiling and devouring life support
systems with the public increasingly financing the out-of-control feeding
cycles;
(3)
failure to recognise any life-value principle or ground of the real economy
itself.
5.
Re-Grounding in Real Capital and Goods, True Supply and Demand
The
failure to recognise the life ground and processes of “the economy” is built into
the ruling paradigm in principle. As in the prior ruling religion,
disconnection of categories and system from empirical reality and life needs
rules out disbelief. But disconnect is in the name of “science” and “the
invisible hand” rather than “God’s commands” and “divine design”. Adam Smith
the founder of modern economics was a Deist, but doctrinal abdication of life
ground and reality became totalized in so-called “neo-classical economics”
which displaces the class divisions of classical economics and the possibility
of any alternative social order.
Thus
an absurd metaphysics comes to rule which cannot be decoded because its first
principles and axioms are a-priori dictates not subject to critical
examination. The first principle of this life-blind economics begins by
disconnection from all life requirements, grounds and and needs – thus mutating
the economy’s provision of otherwise scarce material life goods into an
opposite meaning where life goods and life capital do not exist. Capital is
assumed as private money-sequences multiplying themselves with life capital
blinkered out. Private commodities are assumed to be ‘goods’ although they are
in fact increasingly bads for organic, social and ecological life hosts.
The
‘laws of supply and demand’ are simultaneously reduced to self-maximizing
private money exchanges indifferent to the real economy of providing life goods
otherwise in short supply. Demand is not need or necessity as in any real
economy. It is money demand minted by private banks without the legal tender to
back over 97% of it: which is ever more unequally held by those serving no
productive function, and which nowhere today stands for any life need whatever.
The fatal metaphysic built into first principles does not end here. ‘Supply’ is
not the life goods people need to survive and flourish, but increasingly the
opposite – ever more priced commodities for profit now promoting ever more
human and ecological ill-being across the world. Capital is not life wealth
that can produce more life wealth without loss, but increasing transnational
private money sequences hollowing out life capital on every plane.
6.
Knowing Good from Bad as the Baseline of Life-Coherent Economics
At
the normative level of this doctrine, a ludicrous and fatal doctrine of freedom
rules the war and peace of nations beneath consciousness of it. Freedom =
freedom for private money demand only = in proportion to the amount controlled
= ever less freedom for those with less of it = no right to life for those
without it.
Sane
people, in contrast, recognise that life value matters more, the more
coherently inclusive in self and world the better. But this ultimately
self-evident value ground has been reversed without recognition. People called
‘pro-life’ usurp women’s choice of how they live. Nations assume that ‘standard
of living’ is measured by private money spent. ‘Life sciences’ sacrifice
billions of animal lives a year for the private money-sequence gains of big
corporations. Animal rights theory itself has no criterion to tell the life
value of a slug from a person. ‘New and better technology’ is the ruling
panacea, but no life-value standard exists to decide better from worse.
What
then are we to ground in as life value that the real economy must provide? The
objective standard and measure can be stated in three incisive steps:
all
value whatever is life value, (2) good versus bad equals the extent to which
life is more coherently enabled versus disabled, by (3) greater/lesser ranges
or capacities of thought, felt being and
This
criterion of life value is no more a matter of opinion than people’s life
necessities are. But what are these life needs that no economic paradigm –
orthodox or revolutionary – defines? They are in every case that without which
life capacities are reduced. Life capital, in turn, is that which produces and
reproduces these life goods – from literacy and extending knowledge to the soil
we grow in and air we breathe. The ruling value mechanism miscalled ‘the global
economy’ is the opposite. It attacks life goods and capital everywhere as
‘externalities’ to its self-multiplying money-sequence and commodity cycles.
But because such growth is assumed to be growing life value, the greatest value
reversal in history is unseen.
7.
Life Capital Base and Growth as the Real Economy Across Cultures
The
moving line of the war of liberation begins with what we are able to control,
our own lives. Here we can recognise that every value we enjoy, lose or gain
has a bottom line – its life capital, that is, the life wealth that produces
more life wealth without loss and with cumulative gain. We defend it by life
goods to ensure our life capacities are not reduced but grow through time. Most
are unpriced – the sun and air, the learning, the home environment, the delight
in nature, the play, the love, the raising of children, the fellow arts, and so
on. On the social level, the same holds and any well-governed society provides
for them in many ways. All may recognise the principle of life capital in their
own lives as self-evident, and that all which lasts through time that is
worthwhile is life capital. But life capital does not exist as a concept in
received economics. It is ruled out a-priori by money capital, the social
instrument made the lord without life function.
Addictive
internalization is how the system disorder grows on. Knowledge of life goods
and bads is how it is rooted out, the unrecognised through-line of human
evolution. That is why we find we live far better without corporate-ad
television, regular private gas-vehicle use, any junk food or beverage, any
throwaway item, any new fashion or commodity not more life enabling than the
old, any business with big private banks. The organizing principle is as old as
the good life, but is forgotten. The life-capital code is not stated, but
becomes ever clearer in our time: minimize market demand that disables life
capacities to enable life capital to grow and flourish. This principle is
unthinkable within the ruling thought system, but defines transformation to true
economy and life emancipation on earth. It liberates life wherever it moves.
The
underlying turning point is as old as human evolution itself. Every human
advance is by knowing what enables life through time from what does not.
Collective life advance is transmitting this life-and-death knowledge across
selves and generations. The life capital code holds across cultures. Life goods
are always that without which life capacities decline and die. All real needs,
all real demand, all real supply, and all real economics are known by this
criterion. The lost line between good and evil is found in this principle, and
so too human freedom and well-being.
We
can define the meaning more concretely as follows Every human life suffers and
degenerates towards disease and death without breathable and unpolluted air,
clean water and waste cycles, nourishing food and drink, protective living
space, supportive love, healthcare when needed, a life-coherent environment,
symbolic interaction, and meaningful work to perform. All are measurable in
sufficiency across cases. All are now degraded, polluted or perverted by the
self-multiplying money-capital system defined above.
8.
Collective Life Capital the Missing Link across Divisions
Collective
life capital is the long-missing principle of the common interest and
collective agency. The life capital code goes deeper than gender, culture or
individual differences, and includes past as well as future generations by
definition. It is objective, impartial, and universally applicable. It is the
ultimate regulator of the economic principles of efficiency, productivity and
development. It grounds political legitimacy and supersedes ruinous man-nature,
economy-environment splits and individual-social conflicts of interest. By its
regulation, freedom is made responsible to its own conditions of possibility.
Life capital defines an inner logic of life value which cannot in principle go
wrong within or beyond economics.
Collective
life capital is the missing common ground and measure across the lines of death
itself. It is the this-worldly bridging concept across the impasse of global
culture wars, economy-versus–environment thinking, present-versus-future
interests, male versus female conflicts, and all other warring dichotomies
wrenching us from our shared life ground beneath property lines and the mors
immortalis of reality on earth.
The
difference from received ultimate principles of value across time and theories
is in the objective precision of meaning and direction when value judgement and
decision are governed by its laws of: (1) life value regulator from start to
finish, (2) production of more life value capacity through generational time,
(3) life-value measure to tell greater from lesser in any domain by margins of
capacity loss or gain, (4) cumulative life gain as the organizing goal of the
process throughout, and (5) the meta principle: the more coherently inclusive
any decision or action is in enabling life capacities, the better it always is
for the world.
9.
The Life-and-Death War of the World
In
fact, the global corporate commodity and money-sequence system usurps these
life capital principles with impunity across continents, while captive
corporate states increasingly subsidize, de-regulate, privatize and militarily
enforce this life-blind rule over all ecological and human requirements and
rights. But who sees the moving lines of the global life-and-death war?
Obviously
a real economy would regulate for life capital conservation and advance with
money sequences only as means – as is already is the case in a human way of
life. Societies and individuals would transform to better lives if the paradigm
revolution was enacted in their spheres of choice. Victory or loss in the war
of the world lies as always in how we live.
Knowledge
of bads versus goods is always the inner logic of human evolution at individual
and collective levels of action. It is the mark of being human, and begins in
what we do not demand – for example, any new fashion or commodity not more life
enabling than the old or the used.
The
organizing principle of real economy is long anticipated by China’s Tao-te
Ching and the West’s autarkia of human self-realization, and many prove it in
their own lives. Minimal demand on short resources to enable maximum life capacities
is the war of recovery on social as well as individual levels. While every
corporate state now presses for ever more energy extraction and use with no
limit of public and life costs at every imaginable level, the root of economic
rationality – ration to need – is effectively taboo in official culture.
Once
the life-capital system decider kicks in, the rules of selection for what
compossibly enables rather than disables human and fellow life on earth become
evident to reason and learning from mistakes – the ultimate incapacity of the
now ruling global system. This is the transformation to true economy and life
emancipation, and it can only proceed in accord with the life capital principle
that holds across individual, social and environmental life hosts.
10.
The Ultimate Choice Space of Humanity
Collective
life capital is now fatally endangered on almost every plane across
generational and ecological time. The common life interest has no meaning in
the ruling global system because its sole law of growth is to multiply the very
private commodities and money sequences without life function that mindlessly
drive the end-game world disorder.
It
follows that humanity’s very provision for the universal human life necessities
that have evolved over millennia are blinkered out by the life-blind value
measures of what is miscalled ‘the economy’. Everything that makes a society
civilised or liveable is excluded from view – life-protective laws including
sufficient minimum wages and environmental regulations, common water and sewage
systems for all, free movement pathways and life spaces without cost to use,
non-profit healthcare and disease-prevention by public institution, public
income security from disemployment, old age and disability, primary to higher education
without multiplying debts, family housing, food and life means assistance for
children without sufficient parental money, and public libraries and arts
facilities with accessible books, films and works of art and art creation. This
is more or less a complete index of the collective life capital bases modern
society has evolved, but all are dismantled by the global corporate disorder to
maximally profit from.
In
truth, the organizing principles of common life interest and human agency cross
the lines of death itself in the life capital code of value that steers any
real economy in any place through generational time. It is the system-deciding
choice all societies face without knowing it. History is the record of
successes and failures at what still remains unconscious in economic thought.
It is nowhere defined beyond slogan even in communism, and ‘the public
interest’ has no life coordinates or ground in known modern politics across the
spectrum. Yet life goods and life capital denote the only true economic
necessity and growth – that without which human life capacities degrade and
die. ‘The economy’ is not run by natural or divine laws, as the modern paradigm
assumes. It is a social construction of binding rules which directs towards how
we live better by what is not otherwise there.
The
ruling value code fails more momentously in world waste and destruction than
all other systems in history, but beneath recognition. Its built-in contempt
for all life requirements and indifference to life ruin multiplies its demands
across the planet in a fanaticism beyond ISIL in attacking life capital and
goods with no committed life functions. Yet no economics yet allows the
recognition of its predictably rising catastrophe through time as a global
economic system.
The
life capital economy is opposite in its regulating value logic. It grounds in
common life capital and produces more of it by life measure as its goal and
moral science. Its logic of value is not utopian, but the ultimate through-line
of human development since language and cooperative provision of human means of
life. It lives in all the civil commons we are made human by in the life
security of a free humanity. It is invaded wherever its life capital and goods
are turned into more private money demand, resource depletion and waste without
limits – the moral cancer of the ruling system. The ultimate choice space of
humanity and society lies in this unrecognised life and death meaning.
The Outlook for the New
Year
 |
| George W. Bush |
By Paul Craig
Roberts
Washington
has shaped 2015 to be a year of conflict. The conflict could be intense.
Washington
is the cause of the conflict, which has been brewing for some time. Russia was
too weak to do anything about it when the Clinton regime pushed NATO to
Russia's borders and illegally attacked Yugoslavia, breaking the country into
small easily controlled pieces. Russia was also too weak to do anything
about it when the George W. Bush regime withdrew from the ABM treaty and undertook to locate anti-ballistic missile bases on Russia's borders.
Washington lied to Moscow that the purpose of the ABM bases is to protect
Europe from non-existent Iranian nuclear ICBMs. However, Moscow
understood that the purpose of the ABM bases was to degrade Russia's nuclear
deterrent, thereby enhancing Washington's ability to coerce Russia into
agreements that compromise Russian sovereignty.
By
summer 2008 Russian power had returned. On Washington's orders, the US
and Israeli trained and equipped Georgian army attacked the breakaway republic
of South Ossetia during the early hours of August 8, killing
Russian peacekeepers and civilian population. Units of the Russian military
instantly responded and within a few hours the American trained and equipped
Georgian army was routed and defeated. Georgia was in Russia's hands again, where the province had
resided during the 19th and 20th centuries.
Putin
should have hung Mikheil Saakashvili, the American puppet installed as
president of Georgia by the Washington-instigated "Rose Revolution",
and reincorporated Georgia into the Russian Federation. Instead, in a
strategic error, Russia withdrew its forces, leaving Washington's puppet regime
in place to cause future trouble for Russia.Washington is pushing hard to
incorporate Georgia into NATO, thus adding more US military bases on Russia's
border. However, at the time, Moscow thought Europe to be more
independent of Washington than it is and relied on good relations with Europe
to keep American bases out of Georgia.
Can
Russia and China defeat the West together?
Today
the Russian government no longer has any illusion that Europe is capable of an
independent foreign policy. Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated publicly that
Russia has learned that diplomacy with Europe is pointless, because European
politicians represent Washington's interest, not Europe's. Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov recently acknowledged that Europe's Captive Nation
status has made it clear to Russia that Russian goodwill gestures are unable to
produce diplomatic results.
With
Moscow's delusion shattered that diplomacy with the West can produce peaceful
solutions, reality has set in, reinforced by the demonization of Vladimir
Putin by Washington and its vassal states. Hillary Clinton called Putin the new Hitler. While
Washington incorporates former constituent parts of the Russian and Soviet
empires into its own empire and bombs seven countries, Washington claims that
Putin is militarily aggressive and intends to reconstitute the Soviet empire. Washington arms the neo-nazi regime Obama
established in Ukraine, while erroneously claiming that Putin has invaded and
annexed Ukrainian provinces. All of these blatant lies are echoed
repeatedly by the Western presstitutes. Not even Hitler had such a compliant media as Washington has.
Every
diplomatic effort by Russia has been blocked by Washington and has come
to naught. So now Russia has been forced by reality to update its
military doctrine. The new doctrine approved on December 26 states that the US
and NATO comprise a major military threat to the existence of Russia as a
sovereign independent country.
The
Russian document cites Washington's war doctrine of pre-emptive nuclear attack,
deployment of anti-ballistic missiles, buildup of NATO forces, and intent to
deploy weapons in space as clear indications that Washington is preparing to
attack Russia.
Washington
is also conducting economic and political warfare against Russia, attempting to
destabilize the economy with economic sanctions and attacks on the ruble. The
Russian document acknowledges that Russia faces Western threats of regime
change achieved through "actions aimed at violent change of the Russian
constitutional order, destabilization of the political and social environment,
and disorganization of the functioning of governmental bodies, crucial civilian
and military facilities and informational infrastructure of Russia."
Foreign financed NGOs and foreign owned Russian media are tools in Washington's
hands for destabilizing Russia.
Washington resurrects nuclear
arms race
Washington's
reckless aggressive policy against Russia has resurrected the nuclear arms
race. Russia is developing two new ICBM systems and in 2016 will deploy a weapons system designed
to negate the US anti-ballistic missile system. In short, the evil warmongers
that rule in Washington have set the world on the path to nuclear armageddon.
The
Russian and Chinese governments both understand that their existence is
threatened by Washington's hegemonic ambitions. Larchmonter reports that
in order to defeat Washington's plans to marginalize both countries, the
Russian and Chinese governments have decided to unify their economies into one
and to conjoin their military commands. Henceforth, Russia and China move together on the economic and military
fronts.
The
unity of the Bear and the Dragon reduces the crazed neoconservatives' dream of
"an American century" to dangerous nonsense. As Larchmonter
puts it, "The US and NATO would need Michael the Archangel to defeat
China-Russia, and from all signs Michael the Archangel is aligned with the Bear
and its Orthodox culture. There is no weapon, no strategy, no tactic
conceivable in the near future to damage either of these rising economies now
that they are 'base pairs.'"

| Vladimir Putin |
Larchmonter
sees hope in the new geopolitics created by the conjoining of Russia and
China. I don't dispute this, but if the arrogant neoconservatives realize
that their hegemonic policy has created a foe over which Washington cannot
prevail, they will push for a pre-emptive nuclear strike before the
Russian-Chinese unified command is fully operational. To forestall a sneak
attack, Russia and China should operate on full nuclear alert.
The
US economy--indeed the entire Western orientated economy from
Japan to Europe--is a house of cards. Since the economic downturn began seven
years ago, the entirety of Western economic policy has been diverted to the
support of a few over-sized banks, sovereign debt, and the US dollar. Consequently,
the economies themselves and the ability of populations to cope have
deteriorated.
The
financial markets are based on manipulation, not on fundamentals. The
manipulation is untenable. With debt exploding, negative real interest rates
make no sense. With real consumer incomes, real consumer credit, and real
retail sales stagnant or falling, the stock market is a bubble. With
Russia, China, and other countries moving away from the use of the dollar to
settle international accounts, with Russia developing an alternative to the
SWIFT financial network, the BRICS developing alternatives to the IMF and World
Bank, and with other parts of the world developing their own credit card and
Internet systems, the US dollar, along with the Japanese and European currencies
that are being printed in order to support the dollar's exchange value, could
experience a dramatic drop in exchange value, which would make the
import-dependent Western world dysfunctional.
In
my opinion, it took the Russians and Chinese too long to comprehend the evil
that has control in Washington. Therefore, both countries risk nuclear
attack prior to the full operational capability of their conjoined
defense. As the Western economy is a house of cards, Russia and China
could collapse the Western economy before the neoconservatives can drive the
world to war. As Washington's aggression against both countries is crystal clear,
Russia and China have every right to the following defensive
measures.
As
the US and EU are conducting economic warfare against Russia, Russia could
claim that by wrecking the Russian economy the West has deprived Russia of the
ability to repay loans to the European banks. If this does not bring down the
thinly capitalized EU banks, Russia can announce that as NATO countries are now
officially recognized by Russian war doctrine as an enemy of the Russian state,
Russia can no longer support NATO's aggression against Russia by selling
natural gas to NATO members. If the shutdown of much of European
industry, rapidly rising rates of unemployment, and bank failures do not result
in the dissolution of NATO and thus the end of the threat, the Chinese can act.

| Barack H. Obama |
The
Chinese hold a very large amount of dollar-denominated financial assets.
Just as the Federal Reserve's agents, the bullion banks, dump massive shorts
onto the bullion futures markets during periods of little activity in order to
drive down the bullion price, China can dump the equivalent in US Treasuries of
years of Quantitative Easing in a few minutes. If the Federal Reserve quickly creates dollars with which to purchase
the enormous quantity of Treasuries so that the financial house of cards does
not implode, the Chinese can then dump the dollars that they are paid for the
bonds in the currency market. Whereas the Federal Reserve can print
dollars with which to purchase the Treasuries, the Fed cannot print foreign
currencies with which to buy the dollars.
The
dollar would collapse, and with it the power of the Hegemon. The war
would be over without a shot or missile fired.
In
my view, Russia and China owe it to the world to prevent the nuclear war
intended by the neoconservatives simply by replying in kind to Washington's
economic warfare. Russia and China hold all the cards. Not
Washington.
Russia
and China should give no warning. They should just act. Indeed,
instead of step by step, Russia and China could simultaneously use the
counter-measures. With four US banks holding derivatives totaling many
times world GDP, the financial explosion would be the equivalent to a nuclear
one. The US and Europe would be finished, and the world would be saved.
Larchmonter
possibly is correct. 2015 could be a very good year, but pre-emptive economic
moves by Moscow and Beijing could be required. Putin's current plan seems to be to turn away from the West,
ignore the provocations, and mesh Russia's strategic and economic interests
with those of Asia. This is a humane and reasonable course of action, but
it leaves the West untroubled and undistracted by its economic
vulnerabilities. An untroubled West remains a grave danger not only to
Russia and China but also to Americans and the entire world.

False Flagging the World
towards War. The CIA Weaponizes Hollywood
By
Larry Chin
Almost
all wars begin with false flag operations.
The
coming conflicts in North Korea and Russia are no exception.
Mass
public hysteria is being manufactured to justify aggression against Moscow and
Pyongyang, in retaliation for acts attributed to the North Korean and Russian
governments, but orchestrated and carried out by the CIA and the Pentagon.
-
The
false flagging of North Korea: CIA weaponizes Hollywood
The
campaign of aggression against North Korea, from the hacking of Sony and the
crescendo of noise over the film, The Interview, bears all the markings
of a CIA false flag operation.
The
hacking and alleged threats to moviegoers has been blamed entirely on North
Korea, without a shred of credible evidence beyond unsubstantiated accusations
by the FBI. Pyongyang’s responsibility has not been proven. But it has already
been officially endorsed, and publicly embraced as fact.
The
idea of “America under attack by North Korea” is a lie.
The
actual individuals of the mysterious group responsible for the hacking remain
conveniently unidentified. A multitude of possibilities—Sony insiders,
hackers-for-hire, generic Internet vandalism—have not been explored in earnest.
The more plausible involvement of US spying agencies—the CIA, the NSA, etc. ,
their overwhelming technological capability and their peerless hacking and
surveillance powers—remains studiously ignored.
Who
benefits? It is illogical for Pyongyang to have done it. Isolated, impoverished
North Korea, which has wanted improved relations with the United States for
years (to no avail), gains nothing by cyberattacking the United States with its
relatively weak capabilities, and face the certainty of overwhelming cyber and
military response. On the other hand, Washington benefits greatly from any
action that leads to regime change in North Korea.
But
discussion about Pyongyang’s involvement—or lack of—risks missing the larger
point.
This
project, from the creation of The Interview to the well-orchestrated
international incident, has been guided by the CIA, the Pentagon, and the State
Department from the start. It is propaganda. It is a weapon of psychological
warfare. It is an especially perverted example of military-intelligence manipulation
of popular culture for the purpose of war.
There
is nothing funny about any of it.
The
Interview
was made with the direct and open involvement of CIA and Rand Corporation
operatives for the express purpose of destabilizing North Korea. Star and co-director
Seth Rogen has admitted that he worked “directly with people who work in the
government as consultants, who I’m convinced are in the CIA”. Originally
conceived to be a plot taking place in an “unnamed country”, Sony Pictures
co-chairman Michael Lynton, who also sits on the board of the Rand Corporation,
encouraged the film makers to make the movie overtly about murdering Kim
Jong-Un. Bruce Bennett, the Rand Corporation’s North Korean specialist, also
had an active role, expressing enthusiasm that the film would assist regime
change and spark South Korean action against Pyongyang. Other government
figures from the State Department, even operatives connected to Hillary
Clinton, read the script.
The
infantile, imbecilic, tasteless, reckless idiots involved with The
Interview, including the tasteless Rogen and co-director Evan Goldberg,
worked with these military-intelligence thugs for months. “Hung out” with them.
They do not seem to have had any problem being the political whores for these
Langley death merchants. In fact, they had fun doing it. They seem not to give
a damn, or even half a damn, that the CIA and the Pentagon have used them, and
co-opted the film for an agenda far bigger than the stupid movie itself. All
they seem to care about was that they are getting publicity, and more
publicity, and got to make a stupid movie. Idiots.
The
CIA has now succeeded in setting off a wave of anti-North Korea war hysteria
across America. Witness the ignorant squeals and cries from ignorant Americans
about how “we can’t let North Korea blackmail us”, “we can’t let Kim take away
our free speech”. Listen to the ridiculous debate over whether Sony has the
“courage” to release the film to “stand up to the evil North Koreans” who would
“blackmail America” and “violate the rights” of idiot filmgoers, who now see it
as a “patriotic duty” to see the film.
These
mental midgets—their worldviews shaped by the CIA culture ministry with its
endorsed pro-war entertainment, violent video games, and gung-ho shoot ‘em
ups—are hopelessly brain-curdled, irretrievably lost. Nihilistic and soulless,
as well as stupid, most Americans have no problem seeing Kim Jong-Un killed, on
screen or in reality. This slice of ugly America is the CIA’s finest post-9/11
army: violent, hate-filled, easily manipulated, eager to obey sheeple who march
to whatever drumbeat they set.
And
then there are the truly dumb, fools who are oblivious to most of reality, who
would say “hey lighten up, it’s only a comedy” and “it’s only a movie”. Naïve,
entitled, exceptionalist Americans think the business of the war—the murderous
agenda they and their movie are helping the CIA carry out —is all just a game.
The
CIA’s business is death, and that there are actual assassination plans in the
files of the CIA, targeting heads of state. Kim Jong-Un is undoubtedly on a
real assassination list. This is no funny, either.
The
real act of war
The
provocative, hostile diplomatic stance of the Obama administration speaks for
itself. Washington wanted to spark an international incident. It wants regime
change in Pyongyang, does not care what North Korea or China think, and does
not fear anything North Korea will do about it.
On
the other hand, imagine if a film were about the assassination of Benjamin
Netanyahu and the toppling of the government in Tel Aviv. Such a film, if it
would ever be permitted even in script form, would be stopped cold. If it made
it through censors that “magically” never slowed down The Interview (and yes,
there is censorship in America, a lot of it) Obama would personally fly to Tel
Aviv to apologize. At the very least, Washington would issue statements
distancing themselves from the film and its content.
Not
so in the case of The Interview. Because American elites actually want the Kim
family murdered.
Despite
providing no proof of North Korean involvement, President Barack Obama promised
a “proportional response”. Promptly, North Korea’s Internet was mysteriously
shut down for a day.
Unless
one is naïve to believe in this coincidence, all signs point to US spy agencies
(CIA, NSA, etc.) or hackers working on behalf of Washington and Langley.
Given
the likelihood that North Korea had nothing to do with either the hacking of
Sony, the initial pulling of the movie (a big part of the publicity stunt, that
was not surprisingly reversed) or the “blackmailing” of moviegoers, the
shutting down of North Korea’s Internet was therefore a unilateral, unprovoked
act of war. Washington has not officially taken responsibility. For reasons of
plausible denial, it never will.
Perhaps
it was a dry run. A message. The US got to test how easily it can take down
North Korea’s grid. As we witnessed, given overwhelming technological
advantage, it was very easy. And when a war against Pyongyang begins in
earnest, American forces will know exactly what they will do.
The
US is flexing its Asia-Pacific muscles, sending a message not only to
Pyongyang, but to China, a big future target. Some of the other muscle-flexing
in recent months included the anti-Beijing protests in Hong Kong (assisted by
the CIA and the US State Department), ongoing provocations in the South China
Sea over disputed oil, and new defense agreements that place new anti-missile
systems and missile-guided naval vessels to the region.
The
bottom line is that America has once again been mobilized into supporting a new
war that could take place soon. The CIA and Sony have successfully weaponized a
stupid movie, making it into a cause and a battle cry.
If
and when bombs fall on North Korea, blood will be on the hands of the makers of
The Interview, every single executive who allowed it to be made, and the hordes
who paid to see it.
If
America were a decent, sane society, The Interview would be exposed, roundly
denounced, boycotted and shunned. Instead it is celebrated.
The
CIA should be condemned. Instead, Seth Rogen hangs out with them. America,
increasingly dysfunctional, loves them. Obeys them.
The
false flagging of Russia
Regarding
The Interview, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich
issued a statement in sympathy with North Korea, correctly calling the film’s
concept aggressive and scandalous, and decried the US retaliatory response as
counterproductive and dangerous to international relations.
Of
course. Washington has no interest in improved international relations.
The
Russians should know.
Like
Kim Jong-Un, Vladimir Putin has been vilified, demonized and false-flagged,
incessantly. If Kim is today’s object of ridicule, Putin is Evil Incarnate.
Consider
the hysterical, desperate provocations by Washington in recent months.
A
US-NATO coup, engineered by the CIA, toppled the government of Ukraine,
planting a pro-US neo-Nazi criminal apparatus on Russia’s doorstep. The CIA and
its worldwide network of propagandists pinned the blame on Putin and Russia for
aggression, and for obstructing “democracy”.
The
MH-17 jetliner is downed by Ukrainian operatives, with the support of the CIA,
Mi-6, etc. etc. This false flag operation was blamed on Russia— “Putin’s
Missile”. The US and NATO are still trying to pin these murders on Putin.
The
war against the Islamic State—a massive CIA false flag operation—seeks to
topple with the the Assad government as well as to militarily counter Russia.
The ongoing Anglo-American conquest of regional oil and gas supplies, and
energy transport routes is also aimed at checkmating Russia and China across
the region.
The
US and NATO have attacked the Russian federation with sanctions. The US and
Saudi Arabia have collapsed oil prices, to further destroy the Russian economy.
Full-scale military escalations are being planned. The US Congress is pushing
new legislation tantamount to an open declaration of war against Russia.
What
next? Perhaps it is time for the CIA to produce a Seth Rogen-James Franco movie
about assassinating Putin. Another “parody”. Or how about a movie about killing
Assad, or anyone else the United States wants to make into a Public Enemy?
Don’t think Langley isn’t working on it.
The
return of the Bushes (who were never gone)
In
the midst of all escalating war hysteria comes news that Jeb Bush is “actively
exploring” running for president in 2016. The long predicted return of the Bush
family, the kings of terrorism, the emperors of the false flag operation, back
to the White House appears imminent.
The
CIA will have its favorite family back in the Oval Office, with true CIA scion
to manage the apocalyptic wars are likely to be launched in earnest in the next
two years: Russia/Ukraine, North Korea, the Middle East.
Jeb
Bush will “finish the job”.
The
2016 presidential “contest” will be a charade. It is likely to put forth two
corrupt establishment political “friends” posing as adversaries, when in fact,
they are longtime comrades and conspirators. On one side, Hillary (and Bill)
Clinton. On the other side, Jeb Bush, with George H.W., George W. and all of
the Bush cronies crawling back out of the rotten woodwork. The fact is that the
Clintons and Bushes, and their intertwined networks, have run the country since
the 1980s, their respective camps taking turns in power, with Obama as
transitional figurehead (his administration has always been run by neoliberal
elites connected to the Clintonistas, including Hillary Clinton herself).
The
collective history of the Bushes stretches back to the very founding of the
American intelligence state. It is the very history of modern war criminality.
The resume is George H.W. Bush—the CIA operative and CIA Director—is long and
bloody, and littered with cocaine dust. The entire Bush family ran the
Iran-Contra/CIA drug apparatus, with the Clintons among the Bush network’s full
partners in the massive drug/weapons/banking frauds of that era, the effects of
which still resonate today. And we need not remind that the Bush clan and 9/11
are responsible for the world of terror and false flag foreign policy and
deception that we suffer today.
While
it remains too early to know which way the Establishment will go with their
selection (and it depends on how world war shakes out between now and 2016), it
is highly likely that Jeb
Bush
would be the pick.
Hillary
Clinton has already been scandalized—“Benghazi-ed”. Jeb Bush, on the other
hand, has ideal Establishment/CIA pedigree. He has waited years for the stupid
American public to forget the horrors that his family—Georges H.W. and W.—
brought humanity. And now Americans , with their ultra-short memories, have
indeed forgotten, if they had ever understood it in the first place.
And
the American public does not know who Jeb Bush is, beyond the last name. Jeb
Bush, whom Barbara Bush always said was the “smart one”, has been involved in
Bush narco-criminal business since Iran-Contra. His criminal activities in
Florida, his connection with anti-Castro Cuban terrorists and other connections
are there, for those who bother to investigate them. His Latin American
connections—including his ability to speak fluent Spanish, a Latin wife and a
half-Latin son (George P. Bush, the next up and coming political
Bush)—conveniently appeals to the fastest-growing demographic, as well as those
in the southern hemisphere drug trade. Recent Obama overtures towards the
Latino demographic—immigration, Cuba—appear to be a Democratic Party move to
counter Jeb Bush’s known strengths in the same demographic.
Today,
in the collective American mind, Kim Jong-Un and Vladimir Putin are “the bad
guys”. But the mass murdering war criminal Bushes are saints. “Nice guys”.
A
Jeb Bush presidency will be a pure war presidency, one that promises terror,
more unspeakable than we are experiencing now, lording it over a world engulfed
in holocaust.
This
is not a movie.
