Meet The New Supercops

Popular Mechanics has an interesting feature on the coming police state. This is all, of course, for our protection.

I weep for the country

If this is indicative of how most American high school students think, we are in big trouble. Is this a sign that education is working as intended?

EU 'should expand beyond Europe'

Europe apparently isn't big enough to contain the European Union anymore. At least according to David Wright Miliband, the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary. You'd think that the sea would make a good natural boundary for Europe but Miliband is thinking bigger than that.

Is Ron Paul Anti Semetic?

Haaretz has been running a feature devoted to tallying which US Presidential candidate would be best for Israel. They haven't included Dr. Paul in this tally for various reasons but this week the pundit behind the Israel Factor wrote about Ron Paul. The Israel Factor wanted to answer the question " does Ron Paul single out Israel?"

The Haaretz piece claims that Paul isn't particularly hostile towards Israel and thus isn't an anti semite. This isn't an endorsement, of course. There is a bit of a hostile tone in this piece though its a lot more reasonable and even handed than some things you'll read about Paul in the US Press.

"Paul's supporters can be blamed for many things, but not for being lazy or careless about the political process." This is an interesting quote. Some CFR loving hack angling for a column at the Washington Post or the like will just call Ron Paul a fruitcake. Rosner uses a more refined technique: A generalized negative remark which cannot be rebutted because of its very lack of specificity. The negative impression on the reader is gained without risking being caught in a lie since, no doubt, anyone "can be blamed for many things."

More Ron Paul supported by Nazis nonsense

So the Lone Star Times has just uncovered a big scoop. The owner of stormfront.org sent Ron Paul a $500.00 check. Stormfront is a white Pride/Power/Nationalist/Supremacy forum where people can debate the merits of Hitler vs the founding fathers as role model's for today's whites and other such pressing issues. Many people on the site have neo nazi sympathies. Henceforth Ron Paul is being financially supported by Nazis. Oh Noes!

Of course Paul doesn't support corporatism or invading and colonizing Russia for the betterment of the volk but "These abstract debates are now moot– a contribution to the Paul campaign by a known white-supremacist has been identified."

Naturally, the Lone Star Times wants Paul not to use the money. "The difficulty in this instance is that if Ron Paul returns these funds to Mr. Black, all he will have done is given a neo-Nazi $500 more dollars with which to spread his psychotic bile." So how about Paul just keep the money and continue promoting his entirely non nazi agenda? That'll show that silly Nazi for supporting a libertarian, right? Well, no. The Lone Star Times has other ideas.

"We would therefore like to suggest that the Ron Paul campaign donate Black’s $500 to any of the following worthy recipients–

• United States Holocaust Memorial Museum ($500 would make Dr. Paul a “sustaining member”)
• One Family Fund (which works to rebuild the shattered lives of Israeli victims of Arab terror; $500 would make Dr. Paul a “healer”)
• Aish Ha’Torah (dynamic Jewish educational foundation; Aish donations are set according to funky Kabbalah-based giving levels–$18, $36, $180, etc.–but for $500 Dr. Paul could simultaneously become a “Friend of the Wall” and a “Gate of Wisdom,” which would entitle him to both a Sterling Silver Menorah bookmark with certificate of authenticity from the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, and a Western Wall Images CD with over 500 unique photos of life at the Western Wall– perfect “re-gifting” items for the fast-approaching Hanukkah season)"

What no option for him to support families struggling under Israeli occupation? :)

I love how they sign it:

"We try to be helpful.

Matt Bramanti, Managing Editor (Gentile Stooge)
David Benzion, Publisher (Z.O.G. Chapter #1948 President)"

I have another suggestion. How about Dr Paul uses that money as part of an ad campaign denouncing the use of force to solve international conflicts? He could specifically focus on the use of violence against people who can not be construed as a real threat to the USA. That would be a decidedly non Hitler thing to do with the money, wouldn't it?

House Passes Native Hawaiian Bill

The US House of Representatives just passed the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization act of 2007. This bill would give Indigenous Hawaiian the right to form a governing entity that could negotiate with the feds on their behalf. Bush wants to veto it. The New Republic thinks the act is racist and could lead Hawaii on the path to secession. Why the dreaded cancer of separatism could spread even to the 48 states themselves!

This is fine and dandy by me. I'd love to have my own autonomous oblast.

American kids, dumber than dirt

I recently read this article that claims that American kids are a bunch of good for nothing idiots. The article suggests that things like video games and television are to blame. They certainly could play a role but some could argue that our kids have been deliberately dumbed down for some time....
