This time he's serious. Really. He signed an executive order and declared a national emergency so he must be serious. Right???
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, find that the actions and policies of persons -- including persons who have asserted governmental authority in the Crimean region without the authorization of the Government of Ukraine -- that undermine democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace, security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and contribute to the misappropriation of its assets, constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat. I hereby order:
It enables increasing pilferage of the citizenry by Wall Street, unprovoked attacks on any nation chosen by MICC/AIPAC, suspension of all civil liberties and increased levels of spying on all Americans.
Most importantly, IMO, the requirement that a person under arrest be brought before a judge or into court (habeas corpus) can be suspended by the President at his discretion during a declaration of emergency. This would allow indefinite detention without formal charges being brought.
It's OK to be aging, or to be stupid, or to be weak. Have some sympathy. What's not OK is to be pathetic and laughable. Unfortunately that's where we're at with America: "Russia violates Ukraine's sovereignty". Is he really so clueless to NOT know what that sounds like to the rest of the world, after Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, Egypt blah blah? I mean it's laughingstock territory.
This just in from Larry Flynt: "I think people should NEVER EVER look at pornography"
I am so disgusted at hearing the Crimean government is unconstitutional. What about the present PM of Ukraine? To my knowledge there is no constitutional process for the appointment of a new PM. First you need to remove the existing government through a constitutional process. Yanukovich was removed by a coup!
This cartoon fits this whole situation to a tea. Obama is a moron, he truly is. Whoever talked him into this provocation says more about the ability of said person to control Obama than him having enough intelligence to know why we had a cold war. It was better than a hot war with another country that has thousands of nukes and means to deliver them. Hell we almost went to war over the Cuban missile crisis when we found out that Russia was putting nukes in Cuba, that was our red line and a line that we where to go to war on. But he (I wonder if he talked to any of his generals) must have went against his generals because they even know that the Ukraine is Russias red line.
Note to self: when ever posing a poll in ZH comments, put question that everyone is going to click on in green or up arrow place otherwise post is eventually going to appear as if it is from fonestar.
There is a belief that when confronted by a bear in the wild, if you play dead the bear will sniff you and move on. In this case Obozo won't stop talking his nonsense, thus he is playing brain dead, hoping the bear moves on. Get it?
Obama is surrounded by the wrong people, giving him BAD ADVICE. This is compounded by the fact that he does not possess the Knowledge or Analytical skills to deal with this Handicap. IOW: "He's no JFK"
These Advisers are self-serving, or serving other interests. They are damaging his reputation, ruining his Legacy, and destroying the Country.
p.s.
What is even MORE troubling, is that the MSM is not doing their job. Listening to them makes me want to throw up, or throw something at the TV. So to speak.
During the cuban missile crisis, JFK was surrounded by a bunch of brilliant guys. You might not agree with them, but undeniably brilliant and loyal to the USA.
Obama only works with back alley gangsters and hustlers. If you added up their IQs you would be lucky to reach three digits.
"During the cuban missile crisis, JFK was surrounded by a bunch of brilliant guys."
You lost me with "Brilliant Guys". These are the same guys that started the Vietnam war with the Gulf of Tomkin False Flag. What prevented WW3 is the Russians backed down and got the US to withdraw its Missile in Turkey.
The Soviets got EXACTLY what they wanted - our missles out of Turkey and hands off Cuba. They had no intention of doing anything more than putting some equipment in Cuba so that they would have something to trade - or, if we refused to deal, the Cubans would be the ones who took some kind of hit. Big upside, not much downside for the bear. Kruschev won big, and he let Kennedy (who he thought was a lightweight) look good at home, so he'd be more likely to stay in power. One side was playing chess, the other was playiing checkers. Kiind of like now...
+1. I was thinking Handlers, but said Advisers to be 'polite' and civil.
FWIW, I think that his Advisers are a combo of Neocons, Globalists, imperialist-Zionists, Banksters, Big Oil and Big-MIC people. They effectively tell him what to think and say. Whatever good Intentions he MAY have had in 2008, have long since disappeared, when TPTB took him aside and told him "what's what".
But I was being polite when I said "Advisers".
We don't have an INTERNALLY-CONSISTENT POLICY that the country or the world can or is willing to sign up for, w/o the US having to bully and blackmail our EU "Partners".
Our Domestic and Foreign Policies are driven by this unholy alliance of interests, that have NOTHING to do a sham called "The Elections", or the will of We The People.
++ good clarification. Webster Tarpley described 0zer0 as a "creature of Wall Street" but there are likely many more corporate interests involved in the meantime.
I think the "corporate" hierarchy goes something like this:
Rothschild
Rothschild agents
MIC-Federal Reserve-CIA-NSA
United States
European Countries
If they get their way they'll convert our military over to the United Nations and the US will be just another nation like the rest. If China and/or Russia cave we are in serious trouble. I imagine TPTB have a good laugh whenever the MSM declares POTUS as the most powerful man in the world.
Getting rid of your TeeVee might be a good start...
Why are you paying for something that "...makes [you] want to throw up"? Is it rational to do that?
Furthermore analytical skills and "knowledge" will not serve to solve political problems. THERE ARE NO POLITICAL SOLUTIONS. The STATE IS NOT GOD. (Well it might be YOUR God....)
Obama is responsible for surrounding himself with "his advisors". There is no apology necessary. His advisors are not destroying Obama's "Legacy". Obama is quite responsible for doing that himself.
And in regards to JFK...He was a man with many flaws....including a habit of fucking other women, rather than his wife, in the White House and a rampant Drug Addiction. (I am certain that he had others...) He was not any hero but another SOCIALIST PSYCHOPATH.
(I guess that is somehow better than buttfucking other men in the White House, like Obama does.)
Remember those words he spoke, "Ask not what your country can do for you but ask what you can do for your country"?
That demonstrates his EVIL. The US Government was created to SERVE THE INTERESTS of the PEOPLE. The People do not exist to SERVE THE GOVERNMENT.
Obama is responsible for surrounding himself with "his advisors".
Maybe, but I think it more likley that he's a mealleable hand-puppet plucked from obscurity to do what his handlers want. And that includes selecting his dorect 'advisors'.
His complicity does NOT SERVE HIM WELL. It absolves him of NOTHING!!!
THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION. He is personally responsible for placing himself in the Office. He can always resign.
The very BEST, the most BENEFICIAL and ALTRUISTIC ACTION, that ALL OF the members of the Congress of the United States, along with the members of the Supreme Court, as well as the President and the members of his Cabinent, and all of the members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank, CAN DO...
Socialism is a free choice to collectively own the means of production. If 3 neighbours & I decide to own a taxi and use it on various days each we're now socialist. That's collective ownership of the means of production (of the service of getting people or things about in the taxi).
You are correct. Obama is not Bush but the weight of the system is such nowadays that it doesn't make much difference. We've seen him time and again moving towards caution, in Syria for example, whereas is administration is far more gung-ho. We are very close to "President" as a marketing product which is why Reagan was such a good one. Having understood that, Obama is right to play golf and take long holidays. Why bother?
Gold Catalyst: Economist John Williams: Financial Collapse if Russia Sells U.S. Dollar Holdings
With Ukraine in the headlines Greg Hunter discusses with John Williams the complications for the US Dollar Reserve Currency Status of the ongoing Financial War. China has sold the record amount of US Treasuries in December and buying the record amount of Gold. Today US Dollar has crashed below 80.00 again and closed at 79.66. Russia has already warned US that any sanctions will come back to those who will implement it. With China siding with Russia we can expect the acceleration of De-Dollarisation now.
So The Little Punk Arz Z iionist Shill Shows His True Colors
No denouncing the $6 billion spent to install a Z scourge controlled fascist government in Ukraine, no mention of the US minding it own business, like his father stated, no mention of the thousands dieing in this country while we give aid to Israel to start these conflicts,,,,,,,,nope! All this lil puke cares about is making his energy campaign contributors more money sending US oil over seas!!
Without the ignorance of Christianity, there would be no GOP!
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Sunday that the situation in Ukraine should be an impetus to ramp up oil and gas drilling in the United States and clear the path for exports.
"I would immediately get every obstacle out of the way for our export of oil and gas," said Paul in an appearance on "Fox News Sunday." "And I would begin drilling in every possible, conceivable place within our territories in order to have production that we can supply Europe with if it's interrupted from Ukraine."
Without the ignorance of Christianity, there would be no GOP!
First I am a Christian and DO NOT SUPPORT THE GOP OR THE DNC. However...since you brought it up...
Without the immorality of the atheism of Nietzsche and Marx there would be no SOCIALISM, no Communism and no Fascism.
Of course the atheist enjoys being a member of the Animal Kingdom where they can abandon the concepts of "Good" and "Evil". (You have read Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil", right? I have.)
The atheist consider himself, and others, to belong to the Animal Kingdom. They ascribe to the science of the "Survival of the Fittest". "Might makes right." They are the material that builds the Socialist State. Both Fascism and Communism bans religion as the State serves as God. (Both Hitler and Stalin did this. It is Historical Fact.)
Since there is no Good and Evil than Humans are free to do as they will, to behave as animals. Many times throughout History they have done so.
The Ancient Greeks were PEDERASTS and INCESTUOUS...much like the Chimpanzee. In ancient Greece a man was looked poorly upon if he did not have sex with his Grandson. Chimpanzees behave in the same manner where the Alpha Male will SODOMIZE every other Male in the clan.
Now, according to the atheist, there is nothing "wrong" about this. After all a Human Being is just an ANIMAL, a member of the Animal Kingdom.
While I am certain that NOT ALL ATHEISTS behave in this manner I just can not trust them around my children or grandchildren. (And as for trusting Roman Catholic Priests...it is the same. They may preach about God but it is clear that many do not believe what they are preaching.)
Most homosexuals are atheists as they can "Do what thou will." Or course this is the only Commandment issued by the Unholy Church of Satan through Alaistair Crowley.
So you must really think that it is okay to buttfuck children....if you buy into Nietzsche's bullshit.
Personally I reject the Animal Kingdom and aspire to the Kingdom of God.
But you are free to choose otherwise. Just don't come around my children.
You can reject it all you want in your head but that doesn't make any less an animal than a chimp. I'd love to put you in a zoo in the cage next to a chimp with all his hair shaved off and really see how much difference there is between you and him.
Perhaps you can explain how you are not an animal as you surely fit the definition and classification of such. Or perhaps you can even enlighten us to the difference between you and the other two species of chimpanzees. I dare you.
There is precedent in the animal kingdom of every trait you view as being reserved to humans, incuding the use of tools, art, language, etc.
My wife is a phychologist. Most sexual offenses (and drug offenses), of kids, farm animals, incest, rape, etc, come from religious rural families...and it's not even close. It is this reason that we don't move to a small rural town even though I would prefer it. It's no place to raise kids (we don't want those religious cow-fuckers around our children).
You act as if religious people are immune from homosexuality. Homosexuality doesn't discriminate with preference to religion, athiest included, and the statistics back that up. I know people who were devoutly religious but are homosexual. As a biologist I struggled with the idea that it could be genetic as it is not an evolutionary stable strategy. However, who we are attracted to is determined merely by our hormone levels, and our hormone levels are determined by our DNA. It's just that simple. It's not a choice or a strategy, it is code.
Athiests and religious people alike act like animals, because that's what we are. Don't confuse atheism with power grabs and xenophobia.
Lastly, morals don't come from God. Morals come from living in a cooperative society in which we must get along. Stealing, murder, rape, adultry, serve nobody any good in a civilization, has nothing to with an invisible man in the sky. That's why laws are made, conflict resolution, avoiding conflict in society. Any athiest knows what is right and what is wrong in civilization. We don't live in a jungle. I'd like to see how your morals hold up when society breaks down and you have to put food in your kids' mouths.
Well the Chimpanzee has 24 Chromosome pairs. Humans have 23 Chromosome pairs. That is a basic biological fact. You learn that in High School Biology. (Or perhaps you did not learn that in High School Biology as they do not teach the students anymore.)
As a "Biologist" are you that ignorant?
I have studied the Physical and Natural Sciences for most of my life. My specialty is Astrophysics.
That does not mean that I am ignorant of the Biological Sciences.
You assert that DNA creates levels of hormones and that we are all Determined to behave as a result of that. That removes the freedom of choice, doesn't it?
The inference which folows is that Humans have no personal responsibility for the choices that are made.
(I have a chemical imbalance...That is why I drove drunk and killed those people. I was suffering from..."Affluenza".)
Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
Now you can aspire all that you want to being a member of the Animal Kingdom. I really do not care. I can demonstrate that there is a Higher Existence than that. I can demonstrate, empirically, that there is a Creator, using the Physical Universe as my evidence.
It is a mathematical absurdity (I am using this STRICTLY as an Engineering term) to suggest that the Universe was a chance manifestation. If it did not happen by chance then it happened by design. Thus one must infer a Designer.
It might serve you better to read Roger Penrose, a Physicist, rather than it will reading Nietzsche. At least there is a RATIONAL POSITION asserted.
I am not writing that "Religious" people are immune from Homosexuality, or any other sinful or immoral behavior, for that matter. Many of the "Religious" are not all that real AS I ASSERTED IN MY INITIAL POST.
But Survival of the Fittest does imply STEALING, Murder, rape, and all sorts of other Animal Behavior. For example there are entire Honeybee Colonies which have been wiped out by the Africanized Honeybee. Even Apis meliifera scultellata. steals from Apis mellifera.
Ant colonies will wage outright war on neighboring ant colonies and enslave the remnants. Ant colonies will farm aphids and protect them from predators.
The Animal Kingdom is replete with examples to which I can refer.
Then you assert, "That's why laws are made, conflict resolution, avoiding conflict in society." This is laughable. First the Laws are so completely divorced from Morality. What is Legal is not necessarily Moral and what is Moral is not necessarily legal. I can FILL PAGES WITH EXAMPLES.
Laws are made to provide PENALTIES, PAYABLE TO THE STATE, for those caught in violation. Laws have never prevented Animal Behavior or Human Behavior.
In fact God's Laws are the grandest testimony to this fact as all have sinnned and are in violation of God's Laws. The penalty for the violation of any one of them is death. God's Law has not prevented sin. It just makes sin apparent. The Law provides a PENALTY as it allows for Free Will...choice.
So morals being derived from a cooperative society is a crock of BULLSHIT. Your statement, "I'd like to see how your morals hold up in a jungle survival situation." is demonstrative of your PERSONAL DUPLICITY AND DISHONESTY.
It makes it so clear that you believe that Morals are a veneer that are easily abandoned in times of great stress. That is the reason that YOU ARE UNTRUSTWORTHY. Might makes right and it is Survival of the Fittest.
Personally I'd probably die in that situation as I really would not care to live in it. Unlike you I do not fear death. I pray for it daily. I welcome it. I embrace it as I know that Heaven awaits. (Everyone wants to go to Heaven but nobody wants to die???)
Of course you INTENTIONALLY CHOSE to miss the point where I wrote, "While not ALL atheists..." But I cannot trust most atheists as they currently abandon the veneer of Morality as a useless rag as the Shit has already hit the fan.
Duplicity and dishonest???Are those your hallmarks?
That was a pretty FUCKED UP STRAWMAN ARGUMENT. Want to try again???
There is no natural law that prevents one organism with a different number of chromosomes from breeding with and having offspring with another organism. The world has many such hybrids.
Humans are quite possibly a ape-pig hybrid. Ever heard of "long pig"?
You can take your Noah's Ark bullshit and stick it in your ass.
Actually I have read about the Ape-Pig Hybrid and most Contemporary Biologists will believe that to be invalid.
The Flood Story crosses into many different cultures and has been told since the advent of civilization. The Eb-URs (Hebrews) probably received that story from the time that they were held captives in ancient Babylon after the sacking of ancient Jerusalem.
As for reading the Bible literally??? There is another way to read it. I guess that the allegorical is much too demanding for some stuck into concrete thinking. Are you one of those?
Many species of animals have a different number of chromosomes from each other, but they are all still animals. That doesn't explain how humans are not animals and only illustrates how closely related we are to chimps, <2% difference in our DNA.
I did not assert that hormones dictate all behavior, only who we are attracted too. Perhaps you deny the existence and function of hormones. And there is no inference that humans have no choice in anything. Jesus. Reach much? Yes hormones drive who we are attracted to, male or female, don't make the choice of who we should chose to mate with. That is like saying because you are heterosexual you have no choice in your behavior to be attracted to females, and thus no free will. My god you can really extrapolate to fit your beliefs can't you.
If you can demonstrate empirically that there is a Creator, congratulations, you are the first Homo sapien to do so. Why don't you publish your works so we can all be enlightened. You see, wether you believe in omnipotence or omniscience or omnipresence or any combination of the above you are backed into a corner. No all-knowing omnipresent omnipotent god would allow for diseases and cruelty, it couldn't, because it would be all-knowing and therefore have no reason to test you, because it would already know what you were going to do. It wouldn't be compassionate while allowing suffering, which means we are not created in it's image, as we are compassionate. There would be no reason for us to have bodies whatsoever, to starve, to suffer, to "sin".
Survival of the fittest does not imply stealing, murder, rape, etc. It means successfully having grandchildren and passing on your genes. Name one fish species that murders or rapes. None? You think we think survival of fittest is selective in species? You sir, are ignorant of these matters. Homo sapiens act no different than the animals you refer to.
Laws are not divorced from morality. Morality is derived from Law, the Mosaic Law being the originator of religious morality. Mosaic law did not have penalties payable to the state. And the mosaic law was created so that people would obey rules of civilization. It has penalties payable in HELL. And that is why you are afraid of death, because you are afraid of eternal damnation, for you are a sinner and there is no escaping that fact no matter how many times you repent. Morality and law is for living in civilized society, which is manipulated beyond survival of the fittest. Survival of the fittest is not congruent with civilization. Morality is redefined in survival situations. If society broke down there would be no law, and morality would suffer for need. I said morality applies to civilization not survival in a lack of civilization. No matter to me either if you think I abandon morality in these situations, what do I care. Morality has no role in an uncivilized world. Nor do I think you should trust me in a time of great stress, and I will be careful who I trust. Fuck you and trustworthiness. If you have the only food for 100 sq miles and I have starving kids, well, I'm coming for your food, so yeah, call me immoral, call me dishonest, call me alive. And what shall I call you? I know, I'll call you a moral man...as I walk away with your food.
I am not afraid of death. Death to me is the end and I will not be conscience of it or afraid of burning in hell. Why should I be afraid. Pretty sure I won't give a shit when it's over.
I will pray for you so that you may be enlightened. You think you have free will but you don't. You believe that sin is punished by death, yet we are all sinners in the eyes of the lord. Ah, but there is forgiveness, if you obey the law, the mosaic law, god's commands, then you shall have life. Is that your idea of free will? Doesn't seem like a choice to me. And of course, depending on the religion there can be all kinds of god's commands. Or is yours the one true religion? Why would god pump people full of hormones and a desire to have sex and then punish us for it unless it's done a)wedlock, b)for the purpose of procreation, c)both? a b or c depends on the religion of course. There's your bullshit.
"It is a mathematical absurdity (I am using this STRICTLY as an Engineering term) to suggest that the Universe was a chance manifestation. If it did not happen by chance then it happened by design. Thus one must infer a Designer."
Incorrect. The non-chance non-designer option is it didn't "happen" it's always been.
Matter & energy can not be created or destroyed.
Ever.
There is no creation, never was. Creation implies a prior state of less, of nothing. There is no such prior state.
People like you shouldn't have children. Since you apparently have already sinned in this manner, I suggest you keep your children off the streets or, even better, out of the country.
No. I have not sinned in that manner and my children have not been victimized...but one of my nephews. His mother had divorced my brother and remarried.
My nephew's 13 Year Old Step Brother sodomized him repeatedly when he was three to four years old. The Pre School Psychologist discovered that.
It turns out that his 13 Year old Step Brother had been sodomized in a similar fashion by his, then, eighteen year old brother. I had the urge to kill them both but did not act. His eighteen year old brother, now a 45 Year old man, was recently released from the California State Prison System as a convicted Sex Offender. I do not know, or, care to know, what happened to the 13 Year Old.
My nephew seems okay. But I will be wary around him knowing his history as a victim.
I am more prone to MURDER...MASS MURDER...as I ruminate upon how to fuck up your society.
So come out to Lakeside, California and let's go hunting. My street address is 12223B Woodside Avenue. What is yours? I am really easy to find.
An atheist is merely someone with no imaginary friends.
A socialist is part of a collect whereby the people own the means of production.
The socialist state doesn't exist & never has but if it did the people who owned the means of production collectively would be a state government.
Your definitions are ass-backwards and so is your religion.
I am an atheist and not a socialist, though I support ownership of the means of production. It's up to people to do this individually (capitalist) or collectively (socialist) and I'd strongly prefer the state have no part in either.
Wesley Batalona, Scott Helvenston, Jerry Zovko, and Michael Teague got what they deserved. If they wanted better- they should have they should have taken a pay cut and put on a proper uniform.
Offhand, I would say no, not American-Brit-Aussie at least, not enough ammo pouches to be running around where they are, never seen them with less than 160-200 rounds on them and the one guy (in black) looks like he's in riot gear escorting them to wherever they're trying to get to...another one looks like he's carrying a baton (crowd control) and someone in the background yelling "Blackwater"...in English doesn't prove much.
The Ukraine fiasco is without doubt some of the best entertainment around. The White house threatens sanctions, meanwhile needs the world to continue holding its debt. O yes the sight of a busted broke-ass President thinking he can act as a super power, Obama forgot the Golden Rule –
"He who has the Gold makes the rules!"
Really cannot believe the advisors or the President are this foolish, these boy's are sucking on their own exhaust. The US Government believe that they can change the reality of things by propaganda alone, problem with this is obvious-
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Wake up. Obama is just following orders. The American President just represents the third or fourth rung on the hierarchy of power. The bankers at the very top of the pyramid -- being Trillionaires-- are now merely shifting their emphasis over to their Asian bases in order to keep the great game going. That's why that great sucking sound we hear is of all gold heading East and not even the central banks who will suffer for it make so much as a peep.
Look at you. YOU think the President merely needs better advisors, and if he did, then he make make different decisions. Hahahhhaha! Again. wake up! He's just following the script he's been handed. We are all just watching a kabuki theater of sock-puppets. That's what "globalism" is all about.
Stop choosing sides: there aren't any. The number of men who actually rule the world would fit into the coat-closet of a one-bedroom apartment. That is, if I could just get my hands on them... : )
Saw where our dipshits in office are spending $300,000 per year studying Putin's body language. Let me save you $299,295 per year. His body language says "FUCK YOU USA". Now was that so hard? I'm thinking USA sent a bunch of community organizer types to Crimea and Putiin had enough of it. That's sad I don't trust Obama and his minions for shit in this deal. Any more popcorn?
You guys are so stupid. Almost to the point of being brainless.
You wish you'd never gone in to Iraq? You wish you'd never gone in to Afghanistan?
Then you get a leader who doesn't get militarily involved in Syria, or Libya, and who won't get militarily entangled by the developing situation in the Crimea and Ukraine, and you choose to demonise him.
Why, exactly? Because he's an embarrassment to your 'Merican egos?
You're a fucking joke, all of you. You can't even recognise when you have a leader who is acting in your best interests.
What the fuck self-interest does the U.S. have in getting involved in this so-called "crisis" in Ukraine? None. None whatsofuckingeva.
But you are too brain-dead to realise it and choose instead to demonise your leader who at least is not a wamongering brain-dead scumbag called Bush.
Wow. If you don't fully understand that Obama IS a Bush clone, and has actually even taken the shrub's agenda much further down the road, then you understand NOTHING of what is going on in the world.
In answer to your 1st 2 questions: yes & yes. The rest of your post is pure crap. Obama tried to get US military involved in Syria harder than he fucks Regge Love. And Libya...puleeeez... what do you think happened there? Oh I remember now - a spontaneous eruption of democracy - sort of like what is happening in Ukraine and a number of other places. Maybe you should offer to give Reggie a night off. Might be a better way to show your love for the Big O.
"Then you get a leader who doesn't get militarily involved in Syria, or Libya, and who won't get militarily entangled by the developing situation in the Crimea and Ukraine, and you choose to demonise him."
Overt military action, no. Covert military action, yes. I see no difference. Drugstore Cowboy vs The Snake. Either way we are spending money we don't have to line the pockets of the multi-nationals.
"You guys are so stupid. Almost to the point of being brainless.You wish you'd never gone in to Iraq? You wish you'd never gone in to Afghanistan?

Yup, no war mongering.....just droning the fuck outta wedding parties and their rescuers. Buy hey, it's all Bush's fault. Mr Chalky the Nobel Piece Prize winner is every much a baby killer as his predecessor. Must be a Kenyan thing now instead of a Texas (Ct) thing.
He's not doing anything in Ukraine because he can't do anything in Ukraine. Thirteen trillion dollars ago he might have been able to afford to be a swingin' dick, but we're broke. So glad to have a community organizer puppet stuffed shirt for our fearless leader.
Everything is A-OK, We've just liberated Ukraines Gold and are keeping it for safe keeping now....
Run through google translate....
According to the staff "Boryspil" , before it came to the airport four collector car and two cargo minibus Volkswagen, thus, all the arriving truck license plate missing . Car pulled out of about fifteen people in black uniforms , masks and body armor . Some of them were armed with machine guns . These people have downloaded the plane more than forty heavy boxes ...
After that , some mysterious men arrived too entered the plane . All loading was carried out in a huge hurry . After unloading the car without license plates immediately left the runway , and the plane took off on an emergency basis ...
All who saw this mysterious "special operation" airport officials immediately notified the administration of " Boryspil ", from which received a strong recommendation " not to meddle in other people's business" ...
Later, the editors called back one of the senior officials of the former Ministry of income and fees, which reported that , according to him, tonight, on the orders of one of the " new leaders " of Ukraine in the United States has been taken all the " gold reserve " Ukraine ...
'Play' brain dead? He doesn't need to 'play' that is one of his few natural tallents. Honestly, I think the Unkraine is a pawn, offered to Putin for something.
When Barak ran for president, within 6 weeks 3 of his suspected past boyfriends (Larry Bland, Nate Spencer, Donald Young) were killed in Chicago exicution style and the police there refuse to investigate. To be fair, Bill Clinton had far more suspiciously dead friends (something over 60).
What Obummer doesn't get is that his "peeps" are becoming far more scared of him and his spying, printing, cheating, stealing, lying than any manufactured threats about goat-herders, turbin-wearers, ancient cold war adversaries, Syrian stongmen, etc.
When the sugar stops, the music flops and the bubble pops. 1.6 billion reasons to keep your eyes open.
You can avoid reality, but you can't avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.
Bear is sniffing the brutha's ear wax, trying to decide if the Kenyan is gonna be a tasty morsel. Sad that this motherfucker is the face of USA in international cartoonery.....

Just print it and send everyone in America 1,000,000 ... great shot in the arm
This time he's serious. Really. He signed an executive order and declared a national emergency so he must be serious. Right???
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, find that the actions and policies of persons -- including persons who have asserted governmental authority in the Crimean region without the authorization of the Government of Ukraine -- that undermine democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace, security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and contribute to the misappropriation of its assets, constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat. I hereby order:
http://m.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/03/06/executive-order-bloc...
Does Zero even know that he declared a national state of emergency?
Is it just me or is evil and stupid way scarier than evil with brains and intent?
< Putin is going to back down to Obama
< Obama is going to get 'pantsed' by Putin
No you're right... stupid is way scarier because stupid starts wars...
When a national emergency is declared, what exactly does this enable?
Let's see...
It enables increasing pilferage of the citizenry by Wall Street, unprovoked attacks on any nation chosen by MICC/AIPAC, suspension of all civil liberties and increased levels of spying on all Americans.
So all in all basically NO changes...
might as well end the thread right there
no further coments needed
you done said it all
No imagination needed... http://newswire-24.com/2014/03/07/4827/
(A) actions or policies that undermine democratic processes or institutions in Ukraine
ok, that line from the national emergency order irks me
seems to me, if crimea voted to join russia, then the US policy makers are now in violation of that line of the order
Wow, that was quick. Not that it is any big deal, just a formality, barbarous relic and all that.
Most importantly, IMO, the requirement that a person under arrest be brought before a judge or into court (habeas corpus) can be suspended by the President at his discretion during a declaration of emergency. This would allow indefinite detention without formal charges being brought.
It's OK to be aging, or to be stupid, or to be weak. Have some sympathy. What's not OK is to be pathetic and laughable. Unfortunately that's where we're at with America: "Russia violates Ukraine's sovereignty". Is he really so clueless to NOT know what that sounds like to the rest of the world, after Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, Egypt blah blah? I mean it's laughingstock territory.
This just in from Larry Flynt: "I think people should NEVER EVER look at pornography"
don't forget syria and iran.
Gen. Dempsey Pushes Back Against War Fever

Also, great summary for those looking for view on evolution of crisis and current events: "The Empire's Meddling In Ukraine"
http://thenewsdoctors.com/?p=122799
First--LOL
Second--No "executive order" clause, article, section or associated amendments in the Constitution. So no weight of "law" only the weight of treason.
I am so disgusted at hearing the Crimean government is unconstitutional. What about the present PM of Ukraine? To my knowledge there is no constitutional process for the appointment of a new PM. First you need to remove the existing government through a constitutional process. Yanukovich was removed by a coup!
"Just print it and send everyone in America 1,000,000 ... great shot in the arm"
Here is a more modest proposal: have the Federal Reserve pay everyone's Federal and State income taxes!
Then the Federal Reserve just prints whatever the Federal and State Governments want to spend!
This cartoon fits this whole situation to a tea. Obama is a moron, he truly is. Whoever talked him into this provocation says more about the ability of said person to control Obama than him having enough intelligence to know why we had a cold war. It was better than a hot war with another country that has thousands of nukes and means to deliver them. Hell we almost went to war over the Cuban missile crisis when we found out that Russia was putting nukes in Cuba, that was our red line and a line that we where to go to war on. But he (I wonder if he talked to any of his generals) must have went against his generals because they even know that the Ukraine is Russias red line.
Time to get the Fed to print $200 billion a month and show those Russkies what real power is...
Fuck it, why stop at 200?
At least he hasn't used that old, tired, "line in the sand" phrase again. Obama would piss himself if you looked at him hard and said boo.
He just left out the sand... http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-02-19/president-obama-warns-ukraine-a...
LOL. Time go introduce GAS FOR GOLD in the EU.
And show the Fed what REAL POWER is.
Yellen, bring it on! Bitch.
Yep, that's the wuss, Obozo...
All talk, and no cajones!

There is a belief that when confronted by a bear in the wild, if you play dead the bear will sniff you and move on. In this case Obozo won't stop talking his nonsense, thus he is playing brain dead, hoping the bear moves on. Get it?
In reality, people who are attacked by bears and try to play dead get mauled and their skulls chomped on.
Grumpy bear does not approve.
Funny, yes. Accurate, no. His real problem is:
Obama is surrounded by the wrong people, giving him BAD ADVICE. This is compounded by the fact that he does not possess the Knowledge or Analytical skills to deal with this Handicap. IOW: "He's no JFK"
These Advisers are self-serving, or serving other interests. They are damaging his reputation, ruining his Legacy, and destroying the Country.
p.s.
What is even MORE troubling, is that the MSM is not doing their job. Listening to them makes me want to throw up, or throw something at the TV. So to speak.
The other problem is that of you remove the people around him, there's no one left.
Obama will sign anything that transfers power to the federal government.
During the cuban missile crisis, JFK was surrounded by a bunch of brilliant guys. You might not agree with them, but undeniably brilliant and loyal to the USA.
Obama only works with back alley gangsters and hustlers. If you added up their IQs you would be lucky to reach three digits.
"During the cuban missile crisis, JFK was surrounded by a bunch of brilliant guys."
You lost me with "Brilliant Guys". These are the same guys that started the Vietnam war with the Gulf of Tomkin False Flag. What prevented WW3 is the Russians backed down and got the US to withdraw its Missile in Turkey.
The Soviets got EXACTLY what they wanted - our missles out of Turkey and hands off Cuba. They had no intention of doing anything more than putting some equipment in Cuba so that they would have something to trade - or, if we refused to deal, the Cubans would be the ones who took some kind of hit. Big upside, not much downside for the bear. Kruschev won big, and he let Kennedy (who he thought was a lightweight) look good at home, so he'd be more likely to stay in power. One side was playing chess, the other was playiing checkers. Kiind of like now...
.
.
advisors ? no. Handlers perhaps.
+1. I was thinking Handlers, but said Advisers to be 'polite' and civil.
FWIW, I think that his Advisers are a combo of Neocons, Globalists, imperialist-Zionists, Banksters, Big Oil and Big-MIC people. They effectively tell him what to think and say. Whatever good Intentions he MAY have had in 2008, have long since disappeared, when TPTB took him aside and told him "what's what".
But I was being polite when I said "Advisers".
We don't have an INTERNALLY-CONSISTENT POLICY that the country or the world can or is willing to sign up for, w/o the US having to bully and blackmail our EU "Partners".
Our Domestic and Foreign Policies are driven by this unholy alliance of interests, that have NOTHING to do a sham called "The Elections", or the will of We The People.
++ good clarification. Webster Tarpley described 0zer0 as a "creature of Wall Street" but there are likely many more corporate interests involved in the meantime.
I think Bill Hicks pretty much nailed the presidential thing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MRykTpw1RQ
I think the "corporate" hierarchy goes something like this:
Rothschild
Rothschild agents
MIC-Federal Reserve-CIA-NSA
United States
European Countries
If they get their way they'll convert our military over to the United Nations and the US will be just another nation like the rest. If China and/or Russia cave we are in serious trouble. I imagine TPTB have a good laugh whenever the MSM declares POTUS as the most powerful man in the world.
Now you're talkin'
so who picks the people around him... his advisors? i.e. still brain-dead
Getting rid of your TeeVee might be a good start...
Why are you paying for something that "...makes [you] want to throw up"? Is it rational to do that?
Furthermore analytical skills and "knowledge" will not serve to solve political problems. THERE ARE NO POLITICAL SOLUTIONS. The STATE IS NOT GOD. (Well it might be YOUR God....)
Obama is responsible for surrounding himself with "his advisors". There is no apology necessary. His advisors are not destroying Obama's "Legacy". Obama is quite responsible for doing that himself.
And in regards to JFK...He was a man with many flaws....including a habit of fucking other women, rather than his wife, in the White House and a rampant Drug Addiction. (I am certain that he had others...) He was not any hero but another SOCIALIST PSYCHOPATH.
(I guess that is somehow better than buttfucking other men in the White House, like Obama does.)
Remember those words he spoke, "Ask not what your country can do for you but ask what you can do for your country"?
That demonstrates his EVIL. The US Government was created to SERVE THE INTERESTS of the PEOPLE. The People do not exist to SERVE THE GOVERNMENT.
FUCK SOCIALISM.
Obama is responsible for surrounding himself with "his advisors".
Maybe, but I think it more likley that he's a mealleable hand-puppet plucked from obscurity to do what his handlers want. And that includes selecting his dorect 'advisors'.
His complicity does NOT SERVE HIM WELL. It absolves him of NOTHING!!!
THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION. He is personally responsible for placing himself in the Office. He can always resign.
The very BEST, the most BENEFICIAL and ALTRUISTIC ACTION, that ALL OF the members of the Congress of the United States, along with the members of the Supreme Court, as well as the President and the members of his Cabinent, and all of the members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank, CAN DO...
IS TO SUBMIT THEIR LETTERS OF RESIGNATION.
stepping down offers no atonement; stepping off the Golden Gate bridge is much better gesture.
LMAO.
Now nowhere did I write that it was atonement. I merely claimed that it would be altruistic and beneficial.
And as for atonement??? There is no atonement other than Christ Jesus.
I understand your point...
Your Socialism scarecrow still working for you?
FUCK GOVERNMENT.
FIFY

You have Fascism, zero socialism.
Socialism is a free choice to collectively own the means of production. If 3 neighbours & I decide to own a taxi and use it on various days each we're now socialist. That's collective ownership of the means of production (of the service of getting people or things about in the taxi).
That's socialism.
The simpsons nailed it long ago:

"Obama is surrounded by the wrong people ... "
Then what the hell did we elect him for?
He is the President, he is supposed to know what to do and who to hire!!!
That's one of the big problems with America today, no one wants to take responsiblity for their actions.
It's always someone else's fault.
You are correct. Obama is not Bush but the weight of the system is such nowadays that it doesn't make much difference. We've seen him time and again moving towards caution, in Syria for example, whereas is administration is far more gung-ho. We are very close to "President" as a marketing product which is why Reagan was such a good one. Having understood that, Obama is right to play golf and take long holidays. Why bother?
Not "is surrounded by" but "surrounded himself with". They are a reflection of himself and he likes to look in the mirror.
BEAR smells a stinky-ass, jug-ear DOPE.

Gold Catalyst: Economist John Williams: Financial Collapse if Russia Sells U.S. Dollar Holdings
With Ukraine in the headlines Greg Hunter discusses with John Williams the complications for the US Dollar Reserve Currency Status of the ongoing Financial War. China has sold the record amount of US Treasuries in December and buying the record amount of Gold. Today US Dollar has crashed below 80.00 again and closed at 79.66. Russia has already warned US that any sanctions will come back to those who will implement it. With China siding with Russia we can expect the acceleration of De-Dollarisation now.http://sufiy.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/gold-catalyst-economist-john-william...
forty odd years of pure fiat pleasure. time to die.
He is not playing, he is...
No denouncing the $6 billion spent to install a Z scourge controlled fascist government in Ukraine, no mention of the US minding it own business, like his father stated, no mention of the thousands dieing in this country while we give aid to Israel to start these conflicts,,,,,,,,nope! All this lil puke cares about is making his energy campaign contributors more money sending US oil over seas!!
Without the ignorance of Christianity, there would be no GOP!
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Sunday that the situation in Ukraine should be an impetus to ramp up oil and gas drilling in the United States and clear the path for exports.
"I would immediately get every obstacle out of the way for our export of oil and gas," said Paul in an appearance on "Fox News Sunday." "And I would begin drilling in every possible, conceivable place within our territories in order to have production that we can supply Europe with if it's interrupted from Ukraine."
Without the ignorance of Christianity, there would be no GOP!
First I am a Christian and DO NOT SUPPORT THE GOP OR THE DNC. However...since you brought it up...
Without the immorality of the atheism of Nietzsche and Marx there would be no SOCIALISM, no Communism and no Fascism.
Of course the atheist enjoys being a member of the Animal Kingdom where they can abandon the concepts of "Good" and "Evil". (You have read Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil", right? I have.)
The atheist consider himself, and others, to belong to the Animal Kingdom. They ascribe to the science of the "Survival of the Fittest". "Might makes right." They are the material that builds the Socialist State. Both Fascism and Communism bans religion as the State serves as God. (Both Hitler and Stalin did this. It is Historical Fact.)
Since there is no Good and Evil than Humans are free to do as they will, to behave as animals. Many times throughout History they have done so.
The Ancient Greeks were PEDERASTS and INCESTUOUS...much like the Chimpanzee. In ancient Greece a man was looked poorly upon if he did not have sex with his Grandson. Chimpanzees behave in the same manner where the Alpha Male will SODOMIZE every other Male in the clan.
Now, according to the atheist, there is nothing "wrong" about this. After all a Human Being is just an ANIMAL, a member of the Animal Kingdom.
While I am certain that NOT ALL ATHEISTS behave in this manner I just can not trust them around my children or grandchildren. (And as for trusting Roman Catholic Priests...it is the same. They may preach about God but it is clear that many do not believe what they are preaching.)
Most homosexuals are atheists as they can "Do what thou will." Or course this is the only Commandment issued by the Unholy Church of Satan through Alaistair Crowley.
So you must really think that it is okay to buttfuck children....if you buy into Nietzsche's bullshit.
Personally I reject the Animal Kingdom and aspire to the Kingdom of God.
But you are free to choose otherwise. Just don't come around my children.
You can reject it all you want in your head but that doesn't make any less an animal than a chimp. I'd love to put you in a zoo in the cage next to a chimp with all his hair shaved off and really see how much difference there is between you and him.
Perhaps you can explain how you are not an animal as you surely fit the definition and classification of such. Or perhaps you can even enlighten us to the difference between you and the other two species of chimpanzees. I dare you.
There is precedent in the animal kingdom of every trait you view as being reserved to humans, incuding the use of tools, art, language, etc.
My wife is a phychologist. Most sexual offenses (and drug offenses), of kids, farm animals, incest, rape, etc, come from religious rural families...and it's not even close. It is this reason that we don't move to a small rural town even though I would prefer it. It's no place to raise kids (we don't want those religious cow-fuckers around our children).
You act as if religious people are immune from homosexuality. Homosexuality doesn't discriminate with preference to religion, athiest included, and the statistics back that up. I know people who were devoutly religious but are homosexual. As a biologist I struggled with the idea that it could be genetic as it is not an evolutionary stable strategy. However, who we are attracted to is determined merely by our hormone levels, and our hormone levels are determined by our DNA. It's just that simple. It's not a choice or a strategy, it is code.
Athiests and religious people alike act like animals, because that's what we are. Don't confuse atheism with power grabs and xenophobia.
Lastly, morals don't come from God. Morals come from living in a cooperative society in which we must get along. Stealing, murder, rape, adultry, serve nobody any good in a civilization, has nothing to with an invisible man in the sky. That's why laws are made, conflict resolution, avoiding conflict in society. Any athiest knows what is right and what is wrong in civilization. We don't live in a jungle. I'd like to see how your morals hold up when society breaks down and you have to put food in your kids' mouths.
Well the Chimpanzee has 24 Chromosome pairs. Humans have 23 Chromosome pairs. That is a basic biological fact. You learn that in High School Biology. (Or perhaps you did not learn that in High School Biology as they do not teach the students anymore.)
As a "Biologist" are you that ignorant?
I have studied the Physical and Natural Sciences for most of my life. My specialty is Astrophysics.
That does not mean that I am ignorant of the Biological Sciences.
You assert that DNA creates levels of hormones and that we are all Determined to behave as a result of that. That removes the freedom of choice, doesn't it?
The inference which folows is that Humans have no personal responsibility for the choices that are made.
(I have a chemical imbalance...That is why I drove drunk and killed those people. I was suffering from..."Affluenza".)
Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
Now you can aspire all that you want to being a member of the Animal Kingdom. I really do not care. I can demonstrate that there is a Higher Existence than that. I can demonstrate, empirically, that there is a Creator, using the Physical Universe as my evidence.
It is a mathematical absurdity (I am using this STRICTLY as an Engineering term) to suggest that the Universe was a chance manifestation. If it did not happen by chance then it happened by design. Thus one must infer a Designer.
It might serve you better to read Roger Penrose, a Physicist, rather than it will reading Nietzsche. At least there is a RATIONAL POSITION asserted.
I am not writing that "Religious" people are immune from Homosexuality, or any other sinful or immoral behavior, for that matter. Many of the "Religious" are not all that real AS I ASSERTED IN MY INITIAL POST.
But Survival of the Fittest does imply STEALING, Murder, rape, and all sorts of other Animal Behavior. For example there are entire Honeybee Colonies which have been wiped out by the Africanized Honeybee. Even Apis meliifera scultellata. steals from Apis mellifera.
Ant colonies will wage outright war on neighboring ant colonies and enslave the remnants. Ant colonies will farm aphids and protect them from predators.
The Animal Kingdom is replete with examples to which I can refer.
Then you assert, "That's why laws are made, conflict resolution, avoiding conflict in society." This is laughable. First the Laws are so completely divorced from Morality. What is Legal is not necessarily Moral and what is Moral is not necessarily legal. I can FILL PAGES WITH EXAMPLES.
Laws are made to provide PENALTIES, PAYABLE TO THE STATE, for those caught in violation. Laws have never prevented Animal Behavior or Human Behavior.
In fact God's Laws are the grandest testimony to this fact as all have sinnned and are in violation of God's Laws. The penalty for the violation of any one of them is death. God's Law has not prevented sin. It just makes sin apparent. The Law provides a PENALTY as it allows for Free Will...choice.
So morals being derived from a cooperative society is a crock of BULLSHIT. Your statement, "I'd like to see how your morals hold up in a jungle survival situation." is demonstrative of your PERSONAL DUPLICITY AND DISHONESTY.
It makes it so clear that you believe that Morals are a veneer that are easily abandoned in times of great stress. That is the reason that YOU ARE UNTRUSTWORTHY. Might makes right and it is Survival of the Fittest.
Personally I'd probably die in that situation as I really would not care to live in it. Unlike you I do not fear death. I pray for it daily. I welcome it. I embrace it as I know that Heaven awaits. (Everyone wants to go to Heaven but nobody wants to die???)
Of course you INTENTIONALLY CHOSE to miss the point where I wrote, "While not ALL atheists..." But I cannot trust most atheists as they currently abandon the veneer of Morality as a useless rag as the Shit has already hit the fan.
Duplicity and dishonest???Are those your hallmarks?
That was a pretty FUCKED UP STRAWMAN ARGUMENT. Want to try again???
There is no natural law that prevents one organism with a different number of chromosomes from breeding with and having offspring with another organism. The world has many such hybrids.
Humans are quite possibly a ape-pig hybrid. Ever heard of "long pig"?
You can take your Noah's Ark bullshit and stick it in your ass.
Actually I have read about the Ape-Pig Hybrid and most Contemporary Biologists will believe that to be invalid.
The Flood Story crosses into many different cultures and has been told since the advent of civilization. The Eb-URs (Hebrews) probably received that story from the time that they were held captives in ancient Babylon after the sacking of ancient Jerusalem.
As for reading the Bible literally??? There is another way to read it. I guess that the allegorical is much too demanding for some stuck into concrete thinking. Are you one of those?
No, one culture.
Abrahamism, the combined Muslim+Judaism+Christian culture, believes in the Flood.
Evidence & other cultures say no-flood.
Many species of animals have a different number of chromosomes from each other, but they are all still animals. That doesn't explain how humans are not animals and only illustrates how closely related we are to chimps, <2% difference in our DNA.
I did not assert that hormones dictate all behavior, only who we are attracted too. Perhaps you deny the existence and function of hormones. And there is no inference that humans have no choice in anything. Jesus. Reach much? Yes hormones drive who we are attracted to, male or female, don't make the choice of who we should chose to mate with. That is like saying because you are heterosexual you have no choice in your behavior to be attracted to females, and thus no free will. My god you can really extrapolate to fit your beliefs can't you.
If you can demonstrate empirically that there is a Creator, congratulations, you are the first Homo sapien to do so. Why don't you publish your works so we can all be enlightened. You see, wether you believe in omnipotence or omniscience or omnipresence or any combination of the above you are backed into a corner. No all-knowing omnipresent omnipotent god would allow for diseases and cruelty, it couldn't, because it would be all-knowing and therefore have no reason to test you, because it would already know what you were going to do. It wouldn't be compassionate while allowing suffering, which means we are not created in it's image, as we are compassionate. There would be no reason for us to have bodies whatsoever, to starve, to suffer, to "sin".
Survival of the fittest does not imply stealing, murder, rape, etc. It means successfully having grandchildren and passing on your genes. Name one fish species that murders or rapes. None? You think we think survival of fittest is selective in species? You sir, are ignorant of these matters. Homo sapiens act no different than the animals you refer to.
Laws are not divorced from morality. Morality is derived from Law, the Mosaic Law being the originator of religious morality. Mosaic law did not have penalties payable to the state. And the mosaic law was created so that people would obey rules of civilization. It has penalties payable in HELL. And that is why you are afraid of death, because you are afraid of eternal damnation, for you are a sinner and there is no escaping that fact no matter how many times you repent. Morality and law is for living in civilized society, which is manipulated beyond survival of the fittest. Survival of the fittest is not congruent with civilization. Morality is redefined in survival situations. If society broke down there would be no law, and morality would suffer for need. I said morality applies to civilization not survival in a lack of civilization. No matter to me either if you think I abandon morality in these situations, what do I care. Morality has no role in an uncivilized world. Nor do I think you should trust me in a time of great stress, and I will be careful who I trust. Fuck you and trustworthiness. If you have the only food for 100 sq miles and I have starving kids, well, I'm coming for your food, so yeah, call me immoral, call me dishonest, call me alive. And what shall I call you? I know, I'll call you a moral man...as I walk away with your food.
I am not afraid of death. Death to me is the end and I will not be conscience of it or afraid of burning in hell. Why should I be afraid. Pretty sure I won't give a shit when it's over.
I will pray for you so that you may be enlightened. You think you have free will but you don't. You believe that sin is punished by death, yet we are all sinners in the eyes of the lord. Ah, but there is forgiveness, if you obey the law, the mosaic law, god's commands, then you shall have life. Is that your idea of free will? Doesn't seem like a choice to me. And of course, depending on the religion there can be all kinds of god's commands. Or is yours the one true religion? Why would god pump people full of hormones and a desire to have sex and then punish us for it unless it's done a)wedlock, b)for the purpose of procreation, c)both? a b or c depends on the religion of course. There's your bullshit.
Keep sinning, sinner. Have fun in hell.
"It is a mathematical absurdity (I am using this STRICTLY as an Engineering term) to suggest that the Universe was a chance manifestation. If it did not happen by chance then it happened by design. Thus one must infer a Designer."
Incorrect. The non-chance non-designer option is it didn't "happen" it's always been.
Matter & energy can not be created or destroyed.
Ever.
There is no creation, never was. Creation implies a prior state of less, of nothing. There is no such prior state.
No creation, no creator. No design.
People like you shouldn't have children. Since you apparently have already sinned in this manner, I suggest you keep your children off the streets or, even better, out of the country.
No. I have not sinned in that manner and my children have not been victimized...but one of my nephews. His mother had divorced my brother and remarried.
My nephew's 13 Year Old Step Brother sodomized him repeatedly when he was three to four years old. The Pre School Psychologist discovered that.
It turns out that his 13 Year old Step Brother had been sodomized in a similar fashion by his, then, eighteen year old brother. I had the urge to kill them both but did not act. His eighteen year old brother, now a 45 Year old man, was recently released from the California State Prison System as a convicted Sex Offender. I do not know, or, care to know, what happened to the 13 Year Old.
My nephew seems okay. But I will be wary around him knowing his history as a victim.
I am more prone to MURDER...MASS MURDER...as I ruminate upon how to fuck up your society.
So come out to Lakeside, California and let's go hunting. My street address is 12223B Woodside Avenue. What is yours? I am really easy to find.
Sodomy is the Catholic christian way.
All the more reason to be atheist.
I don't knowingly give out my residence address to homicidal maniacs and murderers.
An atheist is merely someone with no imaginary friends.
A socialist is part of a collect whereby the people own the means of production.
The socialist state doesn't exist & never has but if it did the people who owned the means of production collectively would be a state government.
Your definitions are ass-backwards and so is your religion.
I am an atheist and not a socialist, though I support ownership of the means of production. It's up to people to do this individually (capitalist) or collectively (socialist) and I'd strongly prefer the state have no part in either.
So why do we pay $4.67 a gallon of gas in San Diego?
Where in San Diego County are you paying $4.67 ???
A week and a half ago at the Arco in Lakeside it was $3.89. (I do not get out much but...) Where are you at in San Diego?
Shop around.
SNACK!
Tyler(s) need to be leading on how Blackwater is in the Ukraine. They start running away when citizens start yelling "Blackwater!"
Can anyone tell if they have M4's or some AK variants. Wearing khaki's and brand new gear in the winter in Russia/Ukraine? Mercenary scum.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2576490/Are-Blackwater-active-Uk...
I see AN-94 made and used by Russians.
But surely anybody with not standard military gear must be blackwater. And when I meet a black man he must be Obama.
There is only one appropriate fate for foreign mercenaries captured on the field of battle in a war zone.
Wesley Batalona, Scott Helvenston, Jerry Zovko, and Michael Teague got what they deserved. If they wanted better- they should have they should have taken a pay cut and put on a proper uniform.
Offhand, I would say no, not American-Brit-Aussie at least, not enough ammo pouches to be running around where they are, never seen them with less than 160-200 rounds on them and the one guy (in black) looks like he's in riot gear escorting them to wherever they're trying to get to...another one looks like he's carrying a baton (crowd control) and someone in the background yelling "Blackwater"...in English doesn't prove much.
Likely locals, my two cents.
"After the election I will be able to be more flexible"
Anything to distract from the deconstruction of the US Constitution and the construction of the dicktatorship/police state.
"Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we're so glad that you could attend, come inside, come inside."
The Ukraine fiasco is without doubt some of the best entertainment around. The White house threatens sanctions, meanwhile needs the world to continue holding its debt. O yes the sight of a busted broke-ass President thinking he can act as a super power, Obama forgot the Golden Rule –
"He who has the Gold makes the rules!"
Really cannot believe the advisors or the President are this foolish, these boy's are sucking on their own exhaust. The US Government believe that they can change the reality of things by propaganda alone, problem with this is obvious-
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Well the lie is crumbling
Wake up. Obama is just following orders. The American President just represents the third or fourth rung on the hierarchy of power. The bankers at the very top of the pyramid -- being Trillionaires-- are now merely shifting their emphasis over to their Asian bases in order to keep the great game going. That's why that great sucking sound we hear is of all gold heading East and not even the central banks who will suffer for it make so much as a peep.
Look at you. YOU think the President merely needs better advisors, and if he did, then he make make different decisions. Hahahhhaha! Again. wake up! He's just following the script he's been handed. We are all just watching a kabuki theater of sock-puppets. That's what "globalism" is all about.
Stop choosing sides: there aren't any. The number of men who actually rule the world would fit into the coat-closet of a one-bedroom apartment. That is, if I could just get my hands on them... : )
He's an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks (i.e., bankers), to collect a bill.
Russian bear hungry.
Saw where our dipshits in office are spending $300,000 per year studying Putin's body language. Let me save you $299,295 per year. His body language says "FUCK YOU USA". Now was that so hard? I'm thinking USA sent a bunch of community organizer types to Crimea and Putiin had enough of it. That's sad I don't trust Obama and his minions for shit in this deal. Any more popcorn?
Apply for a DOD research grant immediately.
You guys are so stupid. Almost to the point of being brainless.
You wish you'd never gone in to Iraq? You wish you'd never gone in to Afghanistan?
Then you get a leader who doesn't get militarily involved in Syria, or Libya, and who won't get militarily entangled by the developing situation in the Crimea and Ukraine, and you choose to demonise him.
Why, exactly? Because he's an embarrassment to your 'Merican egos?
You're a fucking joke, all of you. You can't even recognise when you have a leader who is acting in your best interests.
What the fuck self-interest does the U.S. have in getting involved in this so-called "crisis" in Ukraine? None. None whatsofuckingeva.
But you are too brain-dead to realise it and choose instead to demonise your leader who at least is not a wamongering brain-dead scumbag called Bush.
Wow. If you don't fully understand that Obama IS a Bush clone, and has actually even taken the shrub's agenda much further down the road, then you understand NOTHING of what is going on in the world.
In answer to your 1st 2 questions: yes & yes. The rest of your post is pure crap. Obama tried to get US military involved in Syria harder than he fucks Regge Love. And Libya...puleeeez... what do you think happened there? Oh I remember now - a spontaneous eruption of democracy - sort of like what is happening in Ukraine and a number of other places. Maybe you should offer to give Reggie a night off. Might be a better way to show your love for the Big O.
"Then you get a leader who doesn't get militarily involved in Syria, or Libya, and who won't get militarily entangled by the developing situation in the Crimea and Ukraine, and you choose to demonise him."
Overt military action, no. Covert military action, yes. I see no difference. Drugstore Cowboy vs The Snake. Either way we are spending money we don't have to line the pockets of the multi-nationals.

Yup, no war mongering.....just droning the fuck outta wedding parties and their rescuers. Buy hey, it's all Bush's fault. Mr Chalky the Nobel Piece Prize winner is every much a baby killer as his predecessor. Must be a Kenyan thing now instead of a Texas (Ct) thing.
He's not doing anything in Ukraine because he can't do anything in Ukraine. Thirteen trillion dollars ago he might have been able to afford to be a swingin' dick, but we're broke. So glad to have a community organizer puppet stuffed shirt for our fearless leader.
You've got a good point there about the drones.
Wow, I am shocked to view such an unflattering portrayal of "Dear Leader"!!!
Everything is A-OK, We've just liberated Ukraines Gold and are keeping it for safe keeping now....

'Play' brain dead? He doesn't need to 'play' that is one of his few natural tallents. Honestly, I think the Unkraine is a pawn, offered to Putin for something.
When Barak ran for president, within 6 weeks 3 of his suspected past boyfriends (Larry Bland, Nate Spencer, Donald Young) were killed in Chicago exicution style and the police there refuse to investigate. To be fair, Bill Clinton had far more suspiciously dead friends (something over 60).
Welcome to Chicago. Hasn't changed in a hundred years.
What Obummer doesn't get is that his "peeps" are becoming far more scared of him and his spying, printing, cheating, stealing, lying than any manufactured threats about goat-herders, turbin-wearers, ancient cold war adversaries, Syrian stongmen, etc.
