I Stand Alone Until Proven Otherwise

I'm not a saint. Don't claim to be. I do however, have my own crusade in which I oppose drugs and reckless sex. Now, reckless sex is unsafe and while having more than one partner at the same time. Majority will agree that is bad and should be avoided. Drugs, majority will agree its bad and should be avoided. However, the number drops when it comes to two things which I include in drugs. Tobacco, which a slim majority would oppose, and then alcohol. Alcohol, I lose a person's agreement every time when it comes to alcohol. I understand its a major part of not just American, but world history, but I also understand its harmful effects, as well as the harm the other things cause as well. I see the harm they cause. The suffering, pain, anger, remorse caused by them onto not only the person who takes the drug, but the people around them who are devastated by witnessing an addict, or an alcoholic, or have to choke on someone's cigarette. I can get people to agree on one or two, but alcohol and marijuana, (cannabis for you Europeans and technical kind) always end up as the sticking point in getting support for something I wish would happen. I would appreciate to see them banned. Outlawed. Illegal. Out of society completely, not by government mandate, but by society placing a limit. It rarely happens these days but we need it or this world will continue to spin out of control. Thank you for reading.

Afghanistan Comparisons

I keep hearing comparisons of the miserable failure that was the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan to our current occupation of Afghanistan. They say the Russian's couldn't do it with 160,000 troops, we can't do it with roughly 60,000. They say we don't have the support of the people and neither did they. There is one similarity which I will discuss near the end though, and I'll keep it a secret for now. First lets talk about the troop numbers. We have fewer men there. Can't deny that. They are however, the best trained, equiped, mobile, and skillful soldiers in the world. The Soviet army was of regular soldiers, ill equiped, had a faltering air support, and also had major political pressure back home. The skill was not as great as that of our current forces. Our air force has uncontested supremacy. The Soviets had to face weapons we gave the Mujahideen to fight the Soviet airforce but I'll get to that later. Our forces have the full backing of the military and government of the United States. The home support might be faltering, but not that much to be noticable in public policy. Our troops have the best, and if any army can do it in Afghanistan, ours can and WILL. As for the support of the people, the Soviets had no support. They didn't even get help by many on their way in. We toppled the Taliban with 300 troops in coordination with the Northern Alliance. Only 300 and we toppled the entire regime of the Taliban making them run into Pakistan where they now have refuge. The Soviets did not have the support of the people. In response, they destroyed entire villages in retribution for their lack of victory against the Mujahideen. Our air strikes are limited, and most of them are successful. However, in many cases civilians are claimed among the dead instead of militant fighters. I believe there is distortion of the facts in many cases. I believe we do kill the militants in these airstrikes, the problem is the militants are attacking us from their homes or in the middle of civilian areas making airstrikes a difficulty in avoiding civilian casualties. The solution is not to kill fifteen civilians and one militant in the airstrike. The solution is to stop the airstrikes with 100% certainty and allow those fifteen civilians to join the police force and operate on the ground so our troops don't have to, and we won't have to rely on air strikes anymore. Now, there is a similarity between the two wars. The Mujahideen was supported by the United States with weapons. The Taliban is supported by Russia and Iran with weapons. Kalishnakov rifles and Dragon Mines are among the weaponry used by the insurgents we face. The military victory is indeed possible, however we can achieve this as soon as we get Iran and Russia to stop their support of the fighters we face. The weapons the enemy uses are given to them. We stop their supply, they stop fighting. Its that easy. This similarity stands out as almost forgotten by the public eye. Maybe they've never learned this reality. The news doesn't want to admit it because we would have a diplomatic souring with our "Democratic Russian" allies. However, its true, and the sooner people learn this the sooner our policy makers can address this. Hillary Clinton can tell Obama all about the KGB in Putin's eyes when they talk about the weapons the Taliban are using. Maybe then he'll believe it. Until we make these changes, we are stuck there until we figure out what to do with our current tactics.

Venezuela and World War 3

In the past year this South American belligerent against the United States has expelled United States ambassadors, encouraged other nations to do so as well, almost gone to war with Columbia with Ecuador, and signed nuclear deals with Iran and Russia, and allowed Russia's military to conduct operations in their waters in coordination with their own armed forces in a scenario which pitted Red forces against Blue forces in a mock invasion of Venezuela. Now recently the latest to expel our ambassadors has been Ecuador, kicked two out within a week. Now the second one didn't even have time to start his job, nevermind interfere in the affairs of Ecuador's government as they claim he did. I know Obama wants to try to give diplomacy a chance, however if they don't want diplomacy, why do we keep sending diplomats just to have them kicked out? Why waste the money to buy the plane ticket? Another item on the chain, why do we keep spending money for them to stop drug production when they keep producing drugs despite funding military forces to shut down such production? I believe one could say the better placement of our funds would be on our borders to prevent the drugs from getting into this country. The countries supportive of the United States efforts against drugs like Columbia, Brazil, and Mexico should continue to get our support (Mexico is a special case in which I would negotiate a military intervention in their civil war considering the paramilitary drug cartels are killing Americans as deep in our territory as Pheonix). However, if they don't want our support and call us imperialists and our presidents the devil, you know I'm talking about you Hugo, maybe we should stop funding their police divisions which protect their nation's facilities against drug gangs and allow their military units to be able to have the weapons necessary to fight them when the drug cartels do come out of hiding. Hugo Chavez wants a South America without the United States involved, lets give him what he wants. Lets stop buying his oil. Lets sanction his nuclear program like we do his close buddy Iran, who he says if we attack will mean a war with Venezuela. Thats right. They have a pact. If the United States goes to war with Iran, Venezuela will declare war on the United States. Now, you may say whats wrong with an alliance? Well, the last three times a major worldwide system of alliances formed, we had three world wars. World War 1, World War 2, and Cold War. In the first two Germany was the enemy. In the third Russia was the enemy. In the first World War we made Germany face punishment which drove the hatred that caused the second world war. Now that the third world war is over, and Russia was punished with a lack of involvement by the Western nations, was allowed to disentigrate as a people who, although different, were Russian. The independance of nations following their collapse is not wrong to have happened, the lack of interest in Russia's stability immediately following the collapse was a mistake. Now, we face another world war. Iran is leading the call for war, but Russia is the only power in this alliance that would make the war a possibility. Its the wildcard as its nuclear arsenal would not be used in conventional conflict, but if it can have Iran and Venezuela (who is also helping Bolivia and Ecuador develop nuclear technology) be reckless in using them against the United States and our allies directly in limited amounts, our standard MAD would be restricted, because their nuclear arsenal would be limited to the damage already done, and using further nuclear weapons would face reprisal from Russia, thus resulting in MAD, but they could make the bet that we would not put such an even into action unless the stockpile of Russian nukes were to be used, in which case MAD would still apply. The strategy of the third world war will be grand. It will be the first World War in which at least two of the major fronts will be conducted with guerilla warfare as the primary tactic of Iran and Venezuela. Russia may go more conventional, feeling its role as leader of the alliance will give it the better position to use tactics above those of its lesser allies, making them subservient after the conflict to Russia's leadership in the new world. However the war turns out, that will be part of the strategy employed. This has been another episode of the Ravings of a Madman. Thank you. Meow.

Stone in my Hand re-written

Side with Micheal Moore, lie about the war
I got no job, ain't got no money
I got no militia, ain't got no land,
Ain't got nothing but the words in my head

You say you want a revolution, well get on board
We'll start a new crusade; we'll start a holy war
Don't need no orders, don't need no plan
I don't need nothing but the Constution in my heart

You legalize your weed, you pay your union bosses
You kill our economy, you merge our nations
You ignore our laws, and our freedoms and our religion
Still I'm fighting with the freedoms I still have

Words in my head, Constitution in my heart
Still I'm fighting with freedoms I still have
Taxes that I pay only work against me
All the love that's in my heart keeps me fighting for what I had

Illegals jump the borders, gunbattles fill the streets of LA
Every son that suffers, every mother cries
So if you've had enough and you're ready for your stand
I'll be waiting with the thoughts that will change and defy

Free the Sahrawi Democratic Republic

This is an odd moment in my life. I have often looked to rebellions in negative ways. Seen them as breaking the order. I of course have a modern viewpoint. Colonialism is one in which I believe uprising and rebellion was necessary, that's how the United States came into being. I've looked to the Tamil Tigers, Laurent Nkunda, the ICU followed by Al Shabaab and observed the destruction in their purpose. They fight for their people, but are just as quick to kill their own as the opposing forces. However, in practice the Polisario Front fought a war in standard warfare. It had to fight underground against two nations, however civilians for the large part were spared. Their constitution lays the groundwork for a nation with a multi-party democracy and a free market economy. This is why it is an odd moment in my life. Few rebel movements that I have seen have looked at the situation they have, and stated that when their fight is over they will drop power and become a political party or disband once their freedom is achieved. I've rarely seen an open commitment to such a nation during the rebellion. They have the groundwork for a peaceful, democratic, free nation and the world is allowing Morocco, a considerably neutral nation towards us, to prevent this free nation from forming in the middle of a desert. My problem with the issue is why would Morocco, with the primary civilized and wealthy areas in the North, fight so much for a barely sustainable southern region? Polisario condemns terrorism and sent condolences to the families victim to the 2003 Casablanca terrorist attacks. They want independance, not bloodshed or revenge. Just their freedom. Meanwhile they face the Moroccan army. Morocco put the effort and the skills of an army nearly the size of the entire Sahrawi population at work preventing them from crossing a wall that stretches from North to South in the Western Sahara. Walls that divide people must be brought down. Reagan told us this. Germany was a clear example of why walls that seperate people must be torn down. (North Korea, shut up the wall is in your own territory unmanned by anyone and you can tear the fifty year old relic don if it makes you happy. Just stop lying about us using it to seperate the Korean people, you shut down the railroad and limit the number of visitors into your country every year. Anyway.) Yes, allow the Sahrawi Republic to be formed. Buy off Morocco if you have to. Two free, cooperating nations are better than two bitterly entrenched warring neighbors. I plead for the world to recognize this and act upon it.

Episode of Distraction 1

Now already I've broken the promise to write a blog every single day. This is because for two days I had no ideas of what to write. Well, for days that I have nothing to write, I will detail, piece by piece, a game. A new game. A board game. Yes a board game. A new board game. Since I refuse to post pictures on this blog, I will have to explain it with words. This means I will make this a simple, yet exceedingly complex game as I run out of ideas. If I finish figuring out what the game rules are, I will then detail strategy. So lets begin the game with two squares. Simple, four sided, connecting at one of the sides. They are right next to each other. One is standard blue, the other is standard red. The standard blue represents a single soldier for side A. The standard red represents one soldier of side B. You roll two dice. Standard 1-6 sided dice. Whoever has the higher number goes first. The objective is to take over the board. The person who goes first can either stay, or move forward. If they chose to move forward, they roll the dice. If they tie or get above the other person's dice, they move forward. Thus, they win. If not, they stay put. Then the opponent chooses. Same rules apply until there is a victor. This has been an Episode of Distraction. Thank you for coming. Meow.

List of WW3 Enemies

I see a series of alliances forming in the world against the United States. In these alliances of the world I see four nations leading the pack.
1. Russia
2. Iran
3. Venezuela
4. China
I see the following nations being part of the alliance by affiliation to one or more of these nations.
V- Venezuela C-China I-Iran R-Russia, simple enough so lets go.
1. Syria I R C
2. Lebanon I
3. Ecuador V I R
4. Peru V
5. Bolivia V
6. Honduras V R
7. Nicaragua V R
8. Cuba V R I C
9. North Korea C
10. Serbia R
11. Somalia I
12. Pakistan C I R
13. Belarus R
14. Abkhazia R
15. South Ossetia R
Then you have other nations unaffiliated but they hate the United States anyway.
1. Zimbabwe (Power sharing must work for me to revise this.)
2. Somalia (Instability causes breeding ground for radical Islamists.)
3. Mexico (If government loses civil war.)
4. Vietnam (If not taken over by China.)
5. Chile (If ties with Cuba and Venezuela continue to strengthen.)
6. Myanmar (Monks. Enough said.)
7. Libya (Minor player at the moment, but one of the most powerful African states led by Pan-Am bomber Gadaffi. Gadaffi holds African Union presidency this rotation. The agenda of removing opposition is in direct conflict to our promotion of democracy.)
8. Kazakstan, other Central Asian countries (More trade, money, and promises from Russia, their former rulers during the Soviet era, than anyone else.)
The way to deal with this system I am not an expert on. I however do have the eyeballs to see this alliance forming. I urge you all to look at the connections of nuclear programs and scientists in the world. Then look at all weapon sales of basic rifles such as AK-47, Kalishnakov (?) Rifles, and other assault weaponry. This alliance is forming, and it doesn't like us.

My Bailout Proposal

Its back. Thats right. We are having another global depression. Some are saying it is already worse than in the 1930s. With the George Bush stimulus checks, the numerous bailouts, and the current Congressional bill along with the Treasury Secretary's proposal, we are looking at, in the course of less than a year, an increase of the federal deficit of around 4 trillion dollars. I'd give you an exact figure, but they don't have one.
So, lets look at what caused the financial collapse. A person observing the daily monitored news reports covering the housing market would be a big clue as to what caused it. The default of millions of sub-prime loans by people unable to pay for the loan, and the credit default swaps (when insurance companies were insuring the loans to the banks, to more than just the bank that owned it. That is right, you can't take out life insurance on your neighbor, but some companies were letting your neighbor take out insurance on your home loan. This was done in the hundreds of billions of dollars range for insurance. Insurance companies wanted more sub-prime mortgage loans because they wanted to sell more insurance. Banks wanted to give out more loans to get more payments on the interest. Then the third group, the ones who bought the insurance on the loan that wasn't theirs, wanted more because they got to collect if any of them failed (by collect, I mean not just $150,000 on a home loan, a bundle of failed loans worth 10 or 20 billion dollars.) Now, how did the insurance companies profit from this, all you had to do to get the loan insurance (credit default swaps just to clarify) was make a 10 percent down payment. Then it was yours. The bank had a billion dollars on a ten billion dollar insurance, which had never failed in history as a major investment on the whole. It was almost the safest possible investment one could make. At that point it is in your best interest as a third party owner of the loan insurance, to make the home loan fail. So you encourage, through corporate lobbying, not in Congress, but in CEO board rooms at the central bank, the 1 percent sub-prime rate to change after a while not from 1 to 5, or 6 as originally, it goes up to 16, 20, or 25 percent. So a monthly payment goes from 300 or 400 dollars to 1000 overnight. In observance, the inflated middle class becomes lower class yet again, thus sparking a nice class warfare, which I'll talk about again in another blog.
So, person goes bankrupt or their house forecloses, and they are out of a home. The bank loses the loan but the insurance is going to replace the losses. Now, a bank taking out the insurance isn't an issue. Ten people claiming the ten billion dollar insurance on a package of defaulted home loans, the insurance company doesn't have that much money. This is why AIG collapsed. AIG insured these loans, and when the groups they insured came to them, there were too many claims and not enough money. So when that happens, the bank is out, the insurer is out, the others who paid for the insurance are out, and the homeowner is out of a home. Gloriously out of this immense stupidity, very few are going IN to a court room. The groups who write our laws have hopefully, but I've yet to see it, outlawed such a practice.
Now, the fallout goes all the way around and the homeowners, numbering in the tens of millions, are out of homes and bankrupt. The banks are out of money. So when the former homeowner, now in small apartment hopefully, if not they are buying their home in the car lot, goes to buy a car, they have a horrible credit rating, and the bank has nothing to led, so the car can not be purchased. This reigns true for all major purchases. Thus the car industry is also failing. Now we get to the government remedies. The government gives people a stimulus check in the mail. They are hoping the people will buy the big purchases with their stimulus check. Instead, the government forget that everyone still had their massive debt and those that didn't were afraid to let go of their cash. So, most people paid their bills or put it in the bank. Now, you would think this might help the banks, but it wasn't enough. However, the housing market is still crashing. It didn't work. The banks are still losing money and people are still losing homes. Companies are starting to make lay offs because of the lost buyers. Thats when an idea to save the banks comes into view about six months later, passed two months after that.
So lets save the banks. Banks get help they can loan more to people so cars, refridgerators, wedding rings, platypuses (platypi? Plat PLUS?) and other great stuff keeping those industries alive. So they put 400 billion into the banking system. I'd tell you how, where, or when but in all honesty, nobody knows. The government didn't keep track. The oversight groups were too busy raising fists over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The banks were too busy losing more money than they were getting because, yet again the failure of this attempt, the homes were still foreclosing. So the banks are still in rough shape. The companies are announcing even greater layoffs than before. So, now we come to the current and proposes stimuli.
So lets save the companies. Construction is shutting down because people can't afford new homes considering their losing their jobs. Their losing their jobs because the company they work for isn't finding enough customers. So the proposed bill here is to provide a customer (the United States of America government) for the construction companies and any company really. They are buying a new fleet of cars for their staff, not senators, but the senators STAFF. Hey its ok, they are flex fuel vehicles after all which will be in another blog down the road. So the bill goes on and on through a month of painful deliberation, partisanship, campaign hard feelings by the Democrats (they claim Republican's hate it because they lost the election, we hate it for the reason's I'm outlining here) and at the end of the day when this goes through it will not help the mortgage industry. However, four jobs for a month building a tennis court is going to save the nation right? For a recovery bill, it isn't going to help people RECOVER their homes. Then ontop of it we get an announcement for 1.5 trillion dollars (potential for 2 trillion) to be the NEXT stimulus bill.
This new bill is supposed to be a "comprehensive bank bail-out". Basically we are bailing the bank out yet again, but this time we are going to know where the money goes. I'd tell you more about its effects, but we've seen its effects in the past bank bail out. We might not know where it went, but we know it went to the banks one way or the other. This will be the same way, but we'll know which banks get it and which don't. Won't that be lovely. Also, this one is bigger than that one was. Why? The banks need more. They've been neglected by the debate over the current stimulus. The homes are still going under and their bank rolls are running out. People are still losing their homes. Which is why I will now outline my proposal.
Pay off all the home loans in the country. People keep their homes, and get more money every month to flush into the economy as always without worrying about losing their home, banks get their money and can loan for cars and colleges again, then the ripple goes through the rest of the economy. Now was that so difficult to figure out? Congress? You reading this? Yeah, I'm talking to you. I'm a citizen and you're kinda sorta supposed to listen to me. I may not have voted for you, but the least you could do is represent me. Anyone else reading this, tell me what you think. This blog isn't just a blog, its interactive.

Human Rights

In order to give you all the opportunity to respond to my blog, I'll keep presenting things for a short while here at the start of this project to compel a written reaction to the post. This is as much about you as it is about the blog. So today I'll list what could be a list of human rights for which all laws, in a utopia of sorts, would protect. After all, isn't declaring that people have rights just a signal for your judicial system to create laws to protect those rights? Well here is my list:
1. Every person has the right to not be owned by anyone else.
2. Every person has the right to freedom of speech.
3. Every person has the right to punish as person for harming them.
4. Every person has the right to the opportunity to private property.
5. Every person has the right to not have their life taken without necessity.
6A. Every person has the right to choose how their life will be lived.
6B. Every person does not have the right to choose how their life will end.
7. Every person has the right to presumed innocence in the court of law.
8A. Every living thing has the right to not be harmed unless a necessity of survival.
8B. Every person has the right to harm a species that is not as evolved as him if it is a threat to his survival or that of family, friends, property, ect...
8C. Every person has the right to kill any species not as evolved as him for game after approval from government.
9. Every person has the right to privacy on their own property unless privacy is used in violation of other people's rights.
10. Every person has the right to be active in their government.

God

Nobody believes in a god the day they are born. God is a fact, or a lie, that we teach our kids. A=B=C and A+B=C is a lie. 1+1=2 is a fact. Algebra is a lie. Religion is a lie. Math is a fact. Language is a reality. Governments are as we see them; not as we want them; not as they are. God has been taught only by others. God has never been found by someone alone. Communism is not a type of government. It is a political thought. It is a wish. It is impossible or a lie as the final stage. Humans will be humans. Communism will become anarchy. Then tribalism will start again. The cycle is unstoppable. Globalization will need Mars to prevent Socialism. God is not a reality. God is a lie. God is a thought. A thought by one person accepted by many. A thought never forgotten since its beginning. A thought that represents hope. It holds hope to its existence. It holds people hostage to lies. God does not speak. God has never spoken. God has been lied about. If we need God back in this country, have God tell us so. Have God speak to us all. Not one person. Not one man. Have God send himself. Show himself. Prove himself real. End the hatred over his existance. End the violence over his words. End the differences to his name. God is a lie until God exists.

Big Announcement

Now would be a great time to make some grand comparison of how life is like apples and oranges, but alas, too bad for you. I could discuss how life in all its infinite splendor is pointless and repetitive from every second of our lives to that of those after us, but I'm too tired. Instead I've got a small little idea wandering around the abyss that is, right no grand comparisons. Ahem. I've got an idea. I'll be writing, every single day of my life from now on until I decide not to, a blog posting on this very little space of mine. I'll cover very important topics like current issues, world war 4 (3, 5, who's able to keep track anymore?), world religions, and my own little life. I know, not very important, but if I get bored of the usual tandem I'll write, write, write to my very dead end. Which leads me to this moment where I tell you that you now know what my big announcement is. I've tossed back and forth the idea for a while, and thought of making my own little unknown blog on some website like google. So, now you know, enjoy. The first post of the rest of my blog will follow this, in which I destroy the existance of God. Enjoy.
