William Banzai,

You never cease to amaze.

 

Sad thing is the bombing of Guernica resulted in 126-400 deaths, Gaza today is probably past 2000.

Off topic but should fall under the topic of Obama's 'folks' and ur a raciss.

http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-Texas/2014/08/03/Leaked-CBP-Report-Sh...

LUBBOCK, Texas — A leaked intelligence analysis from the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reveals the exact numbers of illegal immigrants entering and attempting to enter the U.S. from more than 75 different countries. The report was obtained by a trusted source within the CBP agency who leaked the document and spoke with Breitbart Texas on the condition of anonymity. The report is labeled as "Unclassified//For Official Use Only" and indicates that the data should be handled as "Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU)."

The numbers provided are in graphics and are broken down into “OFO” and “OBP.” The Customs and Border Protection agency is divided into the Office of Field Operations (OFO) and the Office of Border Patrol (OBP). The OFO numbers reflect anyone either turning themselves in at official U.S. points of entry, or anyone caught while being smuggled at the points of entry. The OBP numbers reflect anyone being caught or turning themselves in to Border Patrol agents between the points of entry, or anyone caught at interior checkpoints by Border Patrol agents. The “OFO Inadmissible” designation to any individual from a nation other than Mexico or Canada means that U.S. authorities took the individuals into custody. Whether they were deported or given a Notice to Appear is unknown. It is important to note these numbers do not include data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The unavailable ICE data are in addition to these numbers.

The report reveals the apprehension numbers ranging from 2010 through July 2014. It shows that most of the human smuggling from Syria and Albania into the U.S. comes through Central America. The report also indicates the routes individuals from North Africa and the Middle East take into the European Union, either to illegally migrate there or as a possible stop in their journey to the United States. The data are broken down further into the specific U.S. border sectors where the apprehensions and contact occurred.

Among the significant revelations are that individuals from nations currently suffering from the world’s largest Ebola outbreak have been caught attempting to sneak across the porous U.S. border into the interior of the United States. At least 71 individuals from the three nations affected by the current Ebola outbreak have either turned themselves in or been caught attempting to illegally enter the U.S. by U.S. authorities between January 2014 and July 2014.

As of July 20, 2014, 1,443 individuals from China were caught sneaking across the porous U.S. border this year alone, with another 1,803 individuals either turning themselves in to U.S. authorities at official ports of entry, or being caught attempting to illegally enter at the ports of entry. This comes amid a massive crackdown by Chinese authorities of Islamic terrorists in the Communist nation.

Twenty-eight individuals from Pakistan were caught attempting to sneak into the U.S. this year alone, with another 211 individuals either turning themselves in or being caught at official ports of entry.

Thirteen Egyptians were caught trying to sneak into the U.S. this year alone, with another 168 either turning themselves in or being caught at official ports of entry.

Four individuals from Yemen were caught attempting to sneak into the U.S. by Border Patrol agents in 2014 alone, with another 34 individuals either turning themselves in or being caught attempting to sneak through official ports of entry. Yemen is not the only nation with individuals who pose terror risks to the U.S. that the report indicates travel from. The failed nation of Somalia, known as a hotbed of Islamic terror activity, was also referenced in the report. Four individuals from Somalia were caught trying to sneak into the U.S. by Border Patrol agents in 2014. Another 290 either turned themselves in or were caught attempting to sneak in at official ports of entry. This reporter previously covered the issue of illegal immigration into the U.S. from Somalia and other nations in the Horn of Africa.

Being of a family of legal immigrants, some of us who waited in line for up to 10 years, I might remind everyone:

The legal immigration process requires health verification.

Illegals can have 3rd World diseases (Ebola, etc) and Obama and the Dems are importing them in great numbers.

In such numbers and with so little screening that of course, highly contagious illegals are entering the USA.

And Obama is busing/flying the illegals to locations all over the USA which is the exact opposite that one should do with masses of illegals, some of whom have contagious 3rd World diseases...

It is almost as if Obama is seeking, in every action, to destroy the USA.

I would like to say that native Americans are stupid to allow this.

But unfortunately, the immigrant portion of the USA population votes in large majority for "free sh*t" and other handouts, and thus the Dem Party who seek to turn the USA into the kind of oppression the immigrants escaped from.

So it is not just the dumb Americans who can not resist the "free cheese" in the mouse trap.

The immigrants, especially the low income and low education illegals, who line up to step into the trap.

Sigh.....

I am very sorry to dissappoint you, but I am not OK  with any of it.

Cloning terror is what it amounts to.

The universe of people willing to accept the MSM pandered notion that it is impossible for Israel and the US to commit attrocities just like the "terrorists", is rapidly receding.

It is quite interesting that the indiscriminate bombing of civilians at Guernica brought the notion of arial terror into the modern lexicon.

Vonnegut wasnt an activist either, but Slaughterhouse Five may have been his best work, his autobiographical account of the firebombing of Dresden. there's plenty of deviltry to go around. there is something going around now that the sinking of the Indianapolis was an act of (terrorism) karma, since that was the ship that delivered the bombs dropped on Japan. around 600 died there, many killed by sharks. now that most of the people who fought in that war have gone, history is being, shall we say, adjusted.

Banzaii,

I have an original oil of Guernica pre bombing on the wall of my office.

Ironically it was painted by a German.It was a beautiful,idylic town.

Everytime I look at it it reminds me to be very careful when dealing with humans,

which is why its hung right there.

It seems that Americans are finally beginning to see more clearly through the thick fog of propaganda, and understand a bit of what Israel is (parasite, not ally, running a brutal ethnic cleansing campaign on the other side of the world).  In fairness to them, the Israelis have done nothing that our ancestors did not do to cleanse the native savages out of North America.  The Israelis have been more patient and restrained so far than the Arabs in Darfur or the Hutus in Rwanda (though the Israeli public seems ready to start a more active phase.)  Ethnic cleansing is as old as humanity, happened over and over, the strong take the land and the weak die.  Palestine does not even stand out much except for the way it has helped to bankrupt the USA and tie the world in knots.

To break the will of the Native Americans and reconcile them to loss of their land, more than 90% of them had to be killed.  Why would Palestine be any different?  Instead of terrorists, the injuns were savages.  Everything said about the Arabs of Palestine was said a thousand times about the injuns -- shifty, lying, violent, etc.  Every act of resistance became a further pretext to exterminate them.  Legend has it that European settlers even used germ warfare in the form of blankets contaminated with TB.  Ethnic cleansing always involves genocide.  The death of Arabs in Palestine has barely begun.

Once you begin to see clearly, it's time to stand back from the outrage of the day and ask a more cynical set of questions.  Even admitting that Israeli ethnic cleansing is no worse than a hundred other cases in human history, why do we have to support it, and fund it, and endure endless blowback as a result?  Why do we have to fight bankrupting wars to "remake" the Middle East in a manner that makes the ethnic cleansing of Palestine possible?  Let them fight their own battles, on their own dime, and win or lose as their god will have it.  Whatever the final solution to the Arab problem, let the blood be on their hands.  It's not our project and we have no interest there.  If your congressfool and senator are Israeli tools, vote for someone else, someone who works for America.

I couldn't agree more.  The list someone put up recently listing all the dual citizen federal legislators was, to say the least, appalling.  If the Constitution allows that, then that's one change / update to that "archaic” document I would support.

As a "native" US citizen living several generations into this syncretism of Northern European blood blended into “Native American” DNA, I have no ill feelings for my ancestor who “took up with” an “Indian woman” and had a “bunch of kids”.  Best I can tell, it was based on the oldest of human virtues, love.  Their desire to raise a family and to be left alone required them to separate from the families they both came from in order to create their own.  God bless them for their strength and courage to do so.

If more people thought like you, we could find a solution as to what we should really do over there.  However, I can't say I agree with your cause and effect.  Twenty five years ago, we got involved in Iraq/Kuwait because not only were we more dependent on foreign all, most future predictions were that we were going to get more dependent on foreign oil.  Israelis just threw gasoline on the fire back then.

Are you aware that the more closely people follow current events,the more likely they are to support Israel?
And,are you aware that Hamas's charter calls for the destruction of Israel,in other words,their stated policy is genocide?
I'm sure facts don't matter to you,but are you aware that the Muslim brotherhood made common cause with Nazi Germany?
It would seem that it is Israel's enemies who practice genocide,not Israel...

gilded genius, Lost My Shorts! 

bravo.

and, brother Hedgers, it isn't so much that i agree with every single specificity of LMS's post, it's that he's kinked the argument and inspected it from another angle.  so many could, through individual initiative, similarly profit by employing the very rudiments of critical-thinking...but ever-so few have courage these days.  the rest will forever remain in the acrid haze of power's expectation.  

seeing only what you're shown is natural for domesticated beasts.  and in that sense, i cannot blame 'power'; janus would likewise blind every productive species to the yolk of its most profitable endeavor, for to look straight ahead only...blinders are what's best for beasts of burden.  and many animals attach themselves to such, and freely so -- as they wouldn't survive otherwise. 

problem mostly is, this is a world that allows for no masters whatsoever; in that the system makes slaves of everyone.

incidentally, have any of you forgotten...actually, allow me to reverse the question...can any possibly fathom the basis upon which our Constitution was articulated?  it was from the mutual recognition that a man only owned what he could ultimately defend...actually, let me back up a bit more.

many of you stagger through life thinking your particular perspective, as is premised on your narrow experience and understanding, is for some reason 'evolved' from perspectives what came before.  oh, ZHealots, there is truly nothing new under the sun.

and so it is with 'democracy'...let me fill you sanctimonious fuckers in on a few facts -- well, just one for now.  there is no such thing as an independently vital democracy -- as mediated through a republic (whether constitutional or traditional) -- sans the institution of slavery.  slavery is elemental to a functioning democracy.  absent a servant class, the whole dynamo falls apart.  so it was in greece; so it was in rome; so it was...and so it was.

i could explain why this is, and i could cite several other examples...but many would find themselves offended.  even so, facts are facts.  once 'democracies' lose control of their slave-class, 'democracy' itself falls apart.  we've had a good run in amorica. 

things have changed, though...used to be, there were slaves and 'democracy'; we all niggers now, bitchez.

Thats a great clip.  I am not sure how you are defining slave and slavery however.  I sense it differs from my notion of what slavery means.  The word slavery to me means that you are not free to opt out or fre to determine much of anything about how your life unfolds.  Hard slavery as distinguished from the soft slavery peddled by the progressive elites whose operating mantra is all your bases are belong to us and what we let you keep is a gift from the People as also deistinguished from the sort of debt slavery or peonage spoken of frequently on ZH.  But I do not think that democracy as mediated through the form of a republic or anything else depends on hard slavery.  identifying the system as the slaver, matrix-like is probably right, but then there must be a system of some kind if you are to have dispute resolution undertaken by a collective rather than allowing individual vendettas to run rampant.  alas I also do not think that the Constitution was articulated on the basis that ownership extends only so far as the reach of ones firearm or god forbid, knife.  though it is an interesting thought.  in fact, the very mystery of capital enunciated by Hernando De Soto in his seminal work of the same name kind of identifies the expansion of ownership through some kind of collective dispute resoltion system that applies to all equally and is administered impartially as the nub of it all.  Anywho on to the day...

Mon, 08/04/2014 - 13:15 | 5044488 janus
janus's picture

i am defining slavery in the broadest possible sense; in that the attempt to distinguish hard from soft skews the whole argument.  if we are to accept that hard-core slavery is antiquated and menacing and that its 'softer' sister is simply the function of our corrupted condition, there is an implied expectation that all blithely tolerate its necessity.  and necessity is the rub. 

i'm saying that democracy needs slavery.  we've 'evolved' from a system of indentured servitude as defined by race and status to a more noble station of ubiquitous and holistic slavery, where all fall beneath the lash of the softer form.  in either case, 'democracy' has held its sway through enforced slavery.  it took janus a long time to believe what's codified in federal statues from the early thirties...yup, bitchez, you are the property of the US corporation.  indentured from birth to death; as it's necessary for the sound functioning of 'democracy'.  lap it up by the trough, swine (not you, t0mmyBerg...amoricans are the swine, and they need to be reminded of as much from time to time).

i will also stand by my assertion that the Founders did indeed recognize the nature of property and liberty; and it's clear that they understood the dangers of concentrated power verses the liberty afforded civilized peoples whence power is atomized and diffuse throughout its constituent parts -- its citizens. when governments obtain the power to tax and seize -- and can show up with the force to back it up -- liberty go poof!  and it was surely vaporized in the spell between the two wars.

the state recently threatened to seize my second son because we missed a doctor's appointment; and i'm supposed to accept this form of slavery as soft!  bah!  even the cruelest of southern planters wouldn't take a child over such a mild infraction.  assuredly, there isn't anything soft to this soft-slavery.

and so, here we stand in the modern era, staring into the darkness of an anxious void...we're on the precipice of a chasm, helter-skelter is about to break loose; a system of absolute totality so pervasive and all-encompassing is suffering from the inevitable strains of entropy; and janus is supposed to spend his days fretting over the troubles of some jungle denizens on the western most point on africa's ass-cleft...fuck no!  shut down all ports of call, airports, trains, roads...i do not care.  that is to say, the "white man's burdern" is over!

consequently, i do not care what becomes of some tribal kerfuffle in the middle-east, near-east, far-east or what-have-you.  i'd just as soon stand back and let the world burn and collect whatever's worth salvaging when the smoke clears. 

insofar as our 'management' of the middle-east has yielded the most intractable and hard-liner vitriol from each respective position -- yup, we've conjured the demons of hamas and likud, and it was all done on your dime, amoricans -- i can put no trust in our policy architects.  sure, it's "our" mess; but don't blame janus.  i say we just totally withdraw; let them wipe each other out, push each other into the sea...whatevs; wait for both to be crippled and desperate; and then see who's in a position to best enhance america's interests...call me olde fashioned. 

in other words, management of the world is a bridge too far.  i'm keen to take my country back, and i recognize that this is an either/or proposition.  either we keep on with 'democracy' and ecumenical 'amorica' and let it smother us and the whole of the world (especially us) beneath its corrupting girth, or we recapture liberty one community at a time.  i say we slice the leviathan's throat and let the savages feed on its corpse. 

and so, peoples of earth, you are free to cling to your bush-meat-eatin traditions...you can all rape your way to HIV-free nirvana...you can mutilate every genital you find -- just keep in on your own continent.  middle-east, you can annihilate every neighbor that doesn't bow to the same god.  i'm just plain out of tears...all tapped out, as it were. 

there is no such thing as a 'global community'...such is the wet-dream of imbeciles, idealists and nitwits.  there are only real, independently vital and legitimate communities, wherein each citizen within recognizes that property and personal rights (i.e. liberty) are only such if they are absolute and in all ways absolutely defensible.  we had a loose confederation of such communities a couple centuries ago; and, again, i'm keen to get it back.

Sadly, I cannot disagree with most of what you have written Janus.  Great song by the way, I want to do a metal version of that.

I especially have my hair go on end at the thought of the State coming between a parent and their chioldren, horror stories about which abound.  There are few justificatinns for such intrusions on personal sovereignty.

I can certainly go with the sentiment of let em burn.  I wonder if the return to a lighter state of being which you envision can happen after the pendulum has swung so far and the leviathan grown so big (to the point where there is literally nothing hidden), and with the state of modern communications technology (and I am not a luddite or anything) which shrinks the sphere of privacy to the vanishing point.  But that is a conversation for another day.  peace janus

brother, it's important to understand that janus is something of a wierdo...i have tons of very strange and unsettling ideas, one of which is tethered to my intent as reflected by my posture here on the Hedge.  you see, i don't come at this as if 'debate' is a competition...i appreciate the activity in a similar fashion as exhibited in ancient greece.  in that, 'debate' is only beneficial if each idea or position serves as a platform, from which we can all step to higher Truth and the fullness of wisdom.  whence 'debate' devolves into competition, it becomes a caustic enterprise with no side gaining anything at all...which is why they call it 'zero-sum'.  janus is all about Plus+Plus.  be that as it may, i anticipated tons of hatin and agent-bloggers (employed by you know who) to try and stand in my way; and, thank God He endowed janus with the deft and preternatural command of language sufficient that i could smite all pretenders to the throne...i, from the outset, decided that i would lay waste to anything i even suspected of hatin or agent-provocataurin (and i'm damned good at it; some say the very best in the world)   

and so i thank you for your input and comments...as for songs, sure, i got lots of songs.

yup, janus is king turd way up on shit mountain...but you can have the crown.

Think of it as an SAT question:

"Continuous US intervention in the Middle East under the control of Israel and its American lobby has:"

a) made the Middle East less chaotic

b) made the Middle East more chaotic

c) made no difference, because the Middle East is chaotic by nature

d) caused anthropogenic climate change

It would be hard to color in the (a) bubble without lol.  I would say it's between (b) and (c), leaning toward (b).  If we now start intervening half according to Bibi's orders and half in defiance of his orders, I don't see it helping.

I know it's the universal wisdom of all "grownups" in NYDC that the world can't survive without continuous US micro-management, but maybe it's a fallacy.  Maybe the US is enabling a lot of bad behavior by tempting local players to maneuver for US support rather than act rationally in a local context.  Maybe that region would actually do better without constant distortions by external power.  At a minimum, US total withdrawal from that region would delay our national bankruptcy, and the region might actually end up more stable.  Worth a try, I say.

<<Is "extremitism" a real word?>>

No.

"Extreme" and "extremist" are real words. For me, the "-ism" suffix is a propaganda flag, much like the "-gate" suffix.

Nice thing about USian propagandists is, they have no idea of subtletly. Their propaganda is so easy to spot. Much inferior to Russian and Chinese propaganda, but they've had a few more years to refine the art. :-)

ZHers do not worry about words being real or newly invented/fabricated. Nor do they seem to worry about such things as using the correct homophone. For a recent example of the latter, elsewhere in these comments we read "...blind every productive species to the yolk...". I suspect that the proper word would have been 'yoke'. All that matters here is getting one's thoughts across, although homophones may not be readily understood by those whose primary language is something other than English as practiced in America.

Would that it were different, but that's just my wish. Perhaps I just wrote too many computer programs where the compiler insisted I use the correct terms, not something vaguely close.

go fuch yerself, geezer.

maybe i had egg on the brain...next time, have the juevos to step up. 

wanna edit my spelling, syntax and what-have-you?  well, it's best if first you begin by separating your critique, i've either misspelled the word or employed an insipid homophone, it cannot be both (fyi, it was a misspell...didn't know we were sending this shit to fuckin press).

anyway, as to specificity and correct terms, when you were a programmer, did they call you a homo, fag or fudge-packer?  please inform, as i'm anxious to be precise...not toss about terms that are "vaguely close"...and while were on the subject of language, one cannot be 'vaguely' close to anything...one may be very close or even somewhat close, but 'vague' (used as an intransitive adverb) doesn't modify proximity (as a preposition) in this-here english language.  that's just the beginning, janus could pick every scab offa your diseased comment.

wanna play, you crusty old cunt?  you've picked the wrong SOB (that stands for son of a bitch, programmer) to taunt.

now, run along back to the sandbox...and build me a nice castle, so's i can smash it.

look, i advised Tyler to affix a warning label to all my posts...i suppose he wants to see lil ones like you suffer.

nobody wants him/

he just stares at the world/

planning his vengeance/

that he will soon unfurl/

now the time is here/

for iron man to spread fear/

vengeance from the grave/

kills the people he once saved/

...i am iron man,

We mucked it up and weaponized it thoroughly. I think the first big experiment in this regard will be Iraq. I don't see how we are going back there and it is already spinning very fast. Our overlords will have to stand by with their thumbs up their asses.

we don't have to invade Israel to stop this, we simply have stop giving that psychotic country arms and money.  Without the U.S. covering it Israel would learn to behave quickly...

I like Netty's block head and how they have their backs to it all. Seems to "suit" them just fine. The woman on the left with the child in her arms, she is so evocative. Any era, any war, any senseless slaughter, she works.

Borrowing from McCormick above (see 5043278 5043278): is 'speachless' even a real word?

strikes me as obvious propaganda.  Think about it.  Putting kids on buildings would accomplish what exactly?  Israel bombs them anyway, and certainly the palestinians know that...  so why even bother?  and why pose for the camera when doing it?  doesn't add up at all.

here is another example of the same thing, the MSM purportedly showing proof that Hamas was using human shields to hide a mortar...   problem is, turns out the footage was from Syria.  busted.

in short, i would expect nothing less than pure lies from the country that prides itself on using deception to wage war...

So you're saying the UN is lying about Hamas stashing rockets under school kids.

Ah the Crusades...

God must be pissed on a daily basis at us silly apes.

Sometimes I wonder if any of us will make it past the flicking flames of Perdition.
