This slime ball might actually be our next president

"We have a moral obligation to help stabilize Iraq"

"We may be in the Middle east for the next 100 years"

McCain is a moral man who practices moral choices as we all know.

Yes this slime-ball could get elected….more war….more economic recession/depression…

When Johnny comes marching home again

Harrah Harrah!

We’ll give him spare arms and limbs we build

Harrah Harrah!

The band will play, our grand children will march, and we’ll all be happy

When Johnny comes marching home

When Johnny comes marching home again

Harrah Harrah!

Will give him a free repo home

Harrah Harrah!

Will buy him very expensive food, we’ll push his car since the gas will be gone

And we’ll all (who can still walk)be parading when Johnny comes crippling home.

EL MAESTRO NAZI DEL DALAI LAMA

From El Diario
By: Roberto Bardini. Thursday March 20, 2008

(BAMBU PRESS,

Jorge Luis Borges attributed to Rudyard Kipling one sentence: "If you have heard the call of the East, no longer you will hear something else."
The French thinker Rene Guenon, Mason converted to Islam, he awarded another: "East is East and West is West, and never be found." Tibet successive dalai lamas, Buddhism and some millenarian teachings, regardless of their actual importance philosophical and religious, have always been conducive to territory talented charlatans, specialists bamboozle a weak wills obsessed with transcendental meditation, reincarnation and the "teachings hermetic of superiors unknown. " One of the most famous was the impostoras "seer" Helena Blavatsky, born in Ukraine and daughter of a German colonel. After working in a circus as an assistant from a medium, created in 1875 in the United States the Theosophical Society, inspired by an alleged trip learning Tibet. In 1884 the expelled from India to discover that relied on his skills as a magician to produce "realizations" from scratch. After an investigation that lasted one year, the Society for Research Psíquica, London, he described it as "one of the largest impostoras history." Madame Blavatsky, who viewed Aboriginal Australians as belonging to an "inferior race" and the Semites as "spiritually degenerate," was subsequently many followers among Nazism. His books Isis without Veil (1875) and Secret Doctrine (1888) will continue selling until today. Another of the "great masters" was the hypnotist, dealer oriental carpets and former tsarist spy George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, a sexópata born in Armenia Russian and promoter of the "fourth way", who assured his disciples in Tibet had begun "medicine, dances and rituals psychic techniques." According to the British writer and university lecturer Romuald Landau, a specialist in comparative religions, this character was a Russian secret agent in the service of the thirteenth Dalai Lama, Thupten Gyatso, a despotic ruler who fled to China in 1904 and in 1910 took refuge in India. In 1956 was published in Britain a success editorial, The Third Eye, Lobsang Rampa, who was presented as a member of an ancient lineage of Tibetan monks and connoisseur from the age of seven secrets related to spirituality. In 1958, The Daily Mail, London, revealed that the mysterious author was called into reality Cyril Henry Hoskin. He was the son of a plumber Devonshire, southwest of the United Kingdom, and had never left the country. The fraudster fled to Canada, where he obtained citizenship and was presented as Doctor Ramp until his death in 1981, then posted other 20 titles. To date, The Third Eye leads sold millions of copies in almost every language. Those who passed the information to the Daily Mail was the geographer, skier, Austrian mountaineer and explorer Heinrich Harrer, author of the 1953 book Seven Years in Tibet, translated into 48 languages and carried a movie in 1997, with the performance of Brad Pitt. Harrer, who also wrote My Life in the Court of the Dalai Lama, who sold 50 million copies, was tutor and friend to Tendzin Gyatso, the current spiritual leader of Tibetans, who was then 11 years old. What the film does not show is that when Chinese troops invaded Tibet in 1949, Harrer was in the first line of defence until they had to flee. Shortly after the premiere of Seven Years in Tibet, which was filmed in the Andes Mountains in Argentina, the German weekly magazine Stern revealed that Harrer belonged to the Schutzstaffel (SS), National squads protection since 1933, when he was 21 years old. With file information secret military intelligence from the United States, the magazine reported that the mountaineer was welcomed at the court of the fourteenth Dalai Lama thanks to the excellent relations that had existed since the decade of the'30s between Tibetan monks and a few dignitaries Nazi followers of Madame Blavatsky and interested in Orientalism. From then until his death in 2006, the explorer disappeared from public life. Four years earlier, when he was 90 years old, had received the visit of the Dalai Lama. "Heinrich Harrer was my personal friend," wrote the monk. "I learned a lot from him, particularly about Europe. We feel that we have lost a loyal friend of the West

Summer Reading

Important people are stocking up on summer reading. They are looking for books that can help them better understand the issues of today. That why I recommend:
Can You Pass the Acid Test?
A History of the Drug and Sex Counterculture
and Its Censorship in the 20th Century
Excerpt:

Introduction
Most people think of the 1960s when they think of the counterculture.
Writers such as Hunter S. Thompson and acid gurus such as Timothy
Leary openly flaunted the use of drugs during those decades. In the film
Easy Rider, two hip young men traveled across the southern US on Harley
Hogs. Along with them was a generous supply of marijuana. The trip was
financed by a huge cocaine deal. Towards the end of the film, they took
LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) with some prostitutes. This was not the
first film to portray marijuana use, but unlike other films, there seem to be
no adverse consequences for using these drugs. Easy Rider was made in
1969, at the height of the 1960s drug counterculture.
Actually the "counterculture" that came to light in the 1960s started in
the mid to late 1950s and lasted until the mid-1970s. Many of the hardcore
counterculture events took place in 1969, the last year of the ’60s decade.
To most Americans the 1960s brought about rebellion against authority,
drug use and sexual promiscuity. But those things did not appear from
nowhere. They had their roots in small minority cultures that took place
years earlier.
The use of drugs and sexual promiscuity did not start in the 1960s.
Various drug- and sexual-oriented cultures have emerged since the
founding of the ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />United States. Such cultures have come and gone over the
last thousand years. Opium parlors popped up in such cities as San
Francisco and they had white customers as well as the stereotypical
Orientals. Brothels were legal and even taxed during the wild west of the
mid-1800s.
Drugs have influenced our culture since the earliest civilizations. The
earliest known record of cocaine use is found on a three-inch ceramic
head of a Valdivian in Ecuador, in 1500 BC.1 Hector Berlioz wrote

"Symphonie Fantastique" in 1830, inspired by an opium dream he had.
Writers from the last three centuries have written on their drug
experiences. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of Sherlock Holmes, was
devoted to opium. Fritz Hugh Ludlow wrote the classic Hashish Eater,
(published in 1857).2
There has been a history of literature and pop culture that thumbed its
nose at the puritanical and conservative political culture of early America.
At the turn of the century (about 1910), the Masses, a Greenwich Village
magazine, fused the cultural radicalism of American Bohemianism with
radical socialist politics. Various anarchists’ publications of the late
1800s promoted fee-love.
In recent years, as then, there have been attempts to suppress culture
that offends the puritan values of the US. By the 1990s politicians and
pundits of the right, far right and center left have called for a "culture war"
against the movie, music and television industry. This is not just for the
portrayal of drug use, but for sex, too much violence, themes involving
suicide, the acceptance of homosexuality and a number of other taboos as
well.
The US Senate held a three-hour hearing, November 6, 1997, to
criticize violent and "anti-social" song lyrics. Senator Sam Brownback,
R-Kansas, made it clear he wanted to shame the music industry into acting
more responsible.3
"Looking at the lyrics of some of this music... particularly in the shock
rock and gangster rap area, it’s very violent," Brownback said. "It’s
hateful to women, much of it is quite racist, it glorifies things like cop
killing and date rape that I think everyone in society agrees is wrong."4
These attacks are nothing new. At the beginning of the 20th century
Anthony Comstock introduced the Comstock Act. Comstock was a
Christian social activist who promoted censorship laws to suppress
anything of a sexual nature. He not only campaigned against pornography
and sinful behavior, he lobbied for federal and state anti-obscenity
legislation.5
Most drug laws were passed before or after the time of alcohol
prohibition. The main difference between alcohol and most other drugs
was that the other drugs were more closely linked to minorities in the eyes
of the public. Cocaine was associated with blacks, opium the Chinese and

marijuana the Mexican immigrants. Yet alcohol was seen at the time as a
vice of European immigrants. These immigrants were considered a threat
to the traditional middle-class values that have often been summed up as
White Anlgo-Saxon Protestant (WASP).
In the film Prohibition, Thirteen Years That Changed America, Ed
Asner, narrator, explained that "middle-class America feared that their
own moral values would be overwhelmed, corrupted, dragged down. For
many, Prohibition became a control mechanism, something to enforce
their values."6 As the film further states, America had a large influx of
immigrants, who brought many aspects of their culture with them. As an
example, the German immigrants believed drinking beer was a normal
part of socializing. American Protestantism is based largely on
Puritanism. That philosophy was largely gone from Europe, but not from
the US.
There were anti-drug/anti-alcohol activists of the early 20th century
who worked to enforce the suppression of mind-altering drugs, just as
there were anti-drug crusaders of the 1960s. The famous evangelist Billy
Sunday had this to say when prohibition was enacted:
"The reign of tears is over. The slums will soon be only a memory. We
will turn our prisons into factories and our jails into storehouses and
corncribs. Men will walk upright now, women will smile, and the
children will laugh."7
The following is a historical look at the counterculture’s influence on
pop culture. It includes a look at trends and people who laid the
groundwork for such a counterculture to arise. It also looks at attempts to
censor such culture during those decades and before. This was a conflict
between the conservative Puritan culture of the mainstream United States
and those who have challenged it for the last 200 years."

New ideology should lead nation: Nepal

New ideology should lead nation: Prachanda [ 2008-3-16 ]

By Our CorrespondentRolpa, March 15: A party with new ideology should lead the country after the constituent assembly (CA) election for restoring enduring peace and stability, CPN (Maoist) chairman Prachanda said addressing a mass meeting organised in Liwang of Rolpa Saturday.He said that the CA election was being held to give new direction to the country but the parliamentary parties had been trying to save monarchy by having a provision of ceremonial head of the state in their manifestos following the suggestion of India and Britain.The parties had become victorious in the past elections by misusing power and buying the votes, he claimed.He blamed that the parliamentary parties in the government had been trying to lead astray the mass through deception and rigging. He also urged the people to vote for the true nationalists and republicans.Commending the role of the people in Rolpa during the decade long conflict, he said that he had special fondness of the people in the region. "Since the people in Rolpa had made great sacrifice during the People's War, they have a great role to make the economic revolution a success,� he said.He said that the Maoists were committed to taking the peace process to a logical end and the people had a great role to make the CA successful.He claimed that CPN (Maoist) alone had a plan to make use of the vast resources in the country to make it prosperous and urged the people to make the party victorious to build a corruption free Nepal.Minister for Information and Communications and senior Maoist leader Krishna Bahadur Mahara said that the relationship with the feudalism, imperialism and expansionist forces should be severed to transform Nepal into a federal republic.Jaya Puri Gharti, lawmaker and candidate of Rolpa Constituency-1, said that her party should secure at least two third of the seats for women liberation.Maoist leaders Pasang, Santosh Budha, Hemanta Prakash Oli were also present at the programme.

St. Patrick's Day Parade and the Iraq War

Saturday, in Wichita, KS, I took part in a St. Patrick’s Day Parade with the Peace and Social Justice Group. We held neat rainbow banners, a sign with our name and web address and we ended it with a rally marking the anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq War. We’re opposed to it of course. Here we are in the prade itself.

We drew a festive crowd.

And of course we had anti war songs.

If your Bible school lesson is taught by a drunken prostitute, then it is justified to question the lesson.

I’ve said that many times about our leadership in the US, especially when they try to take the moral high ground. It seems those that expect the highest moral standards can’t even live up to them. We see this once again with Eliot Spitzer, governor the state of New York.

He went after the sex industry with un-relentlessly and in the end, he was caught in his own spider web. How many more phoney US senators, governors and even presidents do we have to catch having sex or taking drugs before we realize they are no better than the rest of us and in some cases, even worse.

A person sexual practices are their own business, straight, gay or otherwise, as long as children are not involved. As This country tries to clean up its image, it only seems to bring out the worst in us and expose it to the world. -

According to CBS News:

(CBS/AP) Investigators say Eliot Spitzer was clearly a repeat customer who spent tens of thousands of dollars - perhaps as much as $80,000 - with the high-priced prostitution service over an extended period of time.

A death watch of sorts began at the state Capitol, where whispers of "What have you heard?" echoed through nearly every hallway of the ornate, 109-year-old building.

And Spitzer announced Wednesday that he is resigning, completing a spectacular fall from power for a politician whose once-promising career imploded amid allegations that he paid thousands of dollars for high-end prostitutes.

Spitzer's Sex Scandal Battle:

Once known as a moral crime-buster, Gov. Eliot Spitzer assembled a legal team to defend his involvement in a sex scandal that could spell the end of his political career. Jeff Glor reports

Bombing brings the war home!

History just repeats it self over and over again. In the 1960s and 1970s there were organizations that promised to “bring the war home to the streets of America.” The Weather underground and the Symbionese Liberation Army did just that. They relied on Focoism which has proven to be a failed tactic; however when it comes to shaking the establishment to its roots and proving that we, as a nation, are not invincible, the case has been made with the bombing of a Manhattan New York recruiting station. No one was hurt, indicating it was a local group and not Islamic.

However, in a country with a government that has told us that the Iraq war keeps the terrorists in the Middle east, this should be a wake up call. No… as long as we make enemies, we will not be safe.

All I can say to our president and thief is:

HA HA HA!

While police are calling this bomb a pipe-bomb, because it has gunpowder in a metal
container, the people from my generation would call this a can grenade.

Latest Update, 2:15 p.m. | The police said the explosive device involved in the Times Square blast this morning was “roughly similar” to the devices used in two earlier bombings at foreign consulates in Manhattan, in 2005 and 2007, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said at an afternoon news conference. The device had been placed in an ammunition box like the kind that can be bought at a military supply store. Officials said that in today’s attack, a man bundled in a gray hooded jacket or sweatshirt was seen riding a bicycle around the recruiting station moments before the explosion. Subways and traffic are running normally through Times Square. (See related slide show.)

News on the Nepal Revolution

SUPPORT OUR CLASS BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN SOUTH ASIA!

ARSENAL-EXPRESS
No. 16 - March 3, 2008
Revolutionary Communist Party (Canada)


Throughout the last few weeks, important
developments have arisen in Nepal and other
parts of South Asia. The elections to form the
Constituent Assembly, which aims to abolish the
reactionary monarchy in accordance with the
agreement between the Communist Party of Nepal
(Maoist) and the Seven-Party Alliance (SPA), is
fast approaching, scheduled for the 10th of
April. But some SPA members are conspiring with
imperialist and external forces in order to
prevent the victory of the people's revolution.

It is urgent, therefore, that anti-imperialist
and revolutionary activists, and all who wish to
see an end to reaction throughout the world,
mobilize to support the revolution in Nepal. For
12 years now, the revolutionary masses in Nepal,
led by the CPN(Maoist), have shaken the old
system and reinvigorated the hope for a new
world and a Communist future despite the
fatalistic prophecies of "the end of history"
and the "final victory" of the great capitalist
superpowers. The revolutionary movement being
fought for and defended by the Nepalese is on
the threshold of realizing the triumph of
revolution, and to usher in the first steps
towards a new Nepal. We have the responsibility
to support this revolutionary development, and
to fight against imperialist attempts to stop
this progress cold.

The latest issue of "Le Drapeau Rouge"
newspaper, which hit the streets a few days ago,
reported on some of the more significant events
which have take place over the past few weeks,
among them:

• The police have carried out several raids on
the Young Communist League (YCL), the youth
organization linked to the CPN(Maoist).

• The CPN(Maoist) officially announced the
re-establishment of People's Revolutionary
Councils, that constituted the embryonic form of
the new people's power during the first 11 years
of the people's war, and which had been
dissolved following the signing of the peace
agreement in late 2006.

• In Bhutan, a small country east of Nepal, the
official state newspaper has reported the
development of a Maoist insurgency in the
country.

• Most of the main political parties in Nepal
have expressed their concerns and doubts about
the date and conditions of the upcoming
elections for the formation of a Constituent
Assembly. Sher Bahadur Deuba (an official of the
Nepali Congress, the leading political party in
Nepal which, although officially declaring its
intention to abolish the monarchy, maintains
friendly and close relations with the King and
his allies) has declared that, if state
"security" does not improve, it will be
impossible to hold the elections on April 10th.
This statement is interesting, in that it
indicates that the Nepali Congress may wish to
go ahead with its plan to mobilize the Nepali
Royal Army for the elections, particularly in
the Terai region.

• The CPN(Maoist) has made it known that if the
old Royal Army is mobilized for the elections,
it is only logical that they mobilize their own
forces.

In short, the situation in Nepal has proven more
delicate and more volatile than ever, and the
future of the revolutionary movement in Nepal
may well be decided in the coming weeks.

At this moment, we must reaffirm boldly that the
revolution in Nepal is also our revolution. It
should be obvious, for anyone not blinded by
imperialist propaganda, that: 1) the revolution
in Nepal is justified; 2) Nepali Maoists are not
terrorists; and 3) our comrades have shown
exemplary courage and immense determination,
accepting their role in the rebellion of the
Nepalese masses and proposing a strategy to
ensure that the first revolution of the 21st
Century take place in the shadow of Mount
Everest.

As part of mobilizing public opinion in support
with the people's revolution in Nepal,
supporters of the Revolutionary Communist Party
in Montréal held a picket line on Thursday,
February 28 in front of the U.S. consulate.
Chanting slogans condemning interferences in
Nepalese affairs by Yankee imperialism and other
external forces and cheering the coming into
being of the People's Republic of Nepal, the
demonstrators stood in front of the consulate
main entrance for more than half an hour. They
were carrying signs on which we could read:
"Long live the People's Republic of Nepal!",
"U.S. imperialism, let Nepalis decide their own
future!" and "Victory to the Communist Party of
Nepal (Maoist)!"

In a short speech, a spokesperson of the RCP
especially condemn the decision of the Bush
regime to maintain the CPN(Maoist) on its
so-called "list of terrorist organizations"
despite the fact the U.S. government is
officially "supporting" the April 10th election:
"It is realistic to anticipate that once again,
if the people don't make the 'good choice' in
the eyes of the imperialists, the world masters
will unleash their terror against the people in
order to punish them, like they are currently
doing in Gaza, where the people choose the
'wrong party' in the latest election. This would
be an additional example of the hypocrisy of
this superpower, which only recognizes the
regimes it controls, where the others are tagged
as 'rogue state' and subjected to all kind of
retaliation. "

Workers and oppressed people from the whole
world must extend their support to the
revolution in Nepal. In mobilizing the
peasantry, women, oppressed nationalities and
the downtrodden; in building a new people's
power and the glorious People's Liberation Army,
the Nepalese revolutionaries raised the hopes of
millions across the world who are looking to see
our red flag flying over the Himalayas. In the
current international situation, a victory of
the people's movement in the coming election for
a Constituent Assembly in Nepal will be an
important step forward, not only for the
Nepalese masses themselves but for the people of
the whole world.

Long live proletarian internationalism!
Support the revolution in Nepal, and elsewhere
in South Asia!

Wichita, KS –US workers are sacrificed for the good of the military

The US free enterprise system doesn’t mind asking it’s working class people to spill their blood for their corporate masters, but what do the corporate masters do in return. According to The Wichita Eagle:

“The U.S. Air Force chose a Northrop Grumman/European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co. team for a $35 billion contract to replace its aging fleet of refueling tankers, dealing a blow to Boeing and the Kansas economy.”

Our local Rep. Todd Tiahrt, Republican has banked his career on getting that contract for the workers in Wichita, working for Wichita Boeing.

Tiahrt gave his usual clap trap about the military giving jobs to a foreign firm:

"I am deeply troubled by the Air Force's decision to award the... tanker to a French company that has never built a tanker in its history," U.S. Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Goddard, said in a statement. "I cannot believe that we would create French jobs in place of Kansas jobs."

Once again it is outsourcing that puts American workers out of business. But it was a business decision and no one has promoted faith in the rights of big business, no one has championed letting businesses decide what is best for our economy more than Tiahrt. The present US Congress if full of such right-wing idiots and Tiahrt is just one of them. So if anyone complains that big business has not been fair to the American worker it should not be Tiahrt.

Tiahrt also promised to make the American worker more competitive. He can’t even save our jobs from the French. With our present government sacrificing American workers to the New World Order, it is no surprise that the welfare of US citizens are not taken into consideration for such contracts by the very military that pretends to fight in their interest.

El articulo recoge unas declaraciones del Camarada Prachanda sobre la proxima victoria de los candidatos del Nepal. en la AsambleaConstituyen te, victoria que afirma permitira en nacimiento de un nuevo Nepal. Prachanda stresses restraint for polls [ 2008-3-1 ]

By A Staff Reporter Kathmandu, Feb. 29: CPN-Maoist Chairman Prachanda has claimed that his party will emerge victorious in the upcoming election to the Constituent Assembly and pledged to build a new Nepal based on egalitarian principles as envisioned during the decade long armed struggle. Terming the campaign for the election as a concerted battle that still required some sort of sacrifice and patience, he urged the party activists to exercise restraint and prove maintain decency while carrying out election activities. "People are eagerly awaiting for electing our party to lead the nation as it has become evident that no other political force can materialise their aspiration to bring about a change,� Prachanda said Friday at an introduction programme of the Maoist candidates contesting from the Kathmandu valley. CPN-Maoist has nominated its candidacy for the first-past-the- post electoral system from all the 15 constituencies of the valley that encompasses three districts of Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur. Of the 10 constituencies in Kathmandu, Prachanda himself is contesting form constituency number 10 and Minister for Physical Planning and Works Hisila Yami from 6. Similarly, Minister for Women, Children and Social Welfare Pampha Bhusal is competing from Lalitpur-3 and deputy commander of the People's Liberation of Army (PLA) Barsa Man Pun Ananta from constituency 1 of the same district. Prachanda stated that the CA election was a campaign for the victory of the nation and the people. "Those who plundered the country for ages are bent on obstructing our victory but we will foil their conspiracies and head for a prosperous Nepal.' He warned of capturing the state power in a new way if the party's commitment to the peace process and the election was suspected and there were any attempts to derail the CA poll. "No power in the world can prevent us from the victory in the election and gaining the state power,� he said, adding, "Both our friends as well as our foes from around world are looking at the election.� He reiterated that his party had not come to peaceful politics because of a defeat or agitation while carrying out People's War but for building a great nation of the workers. "We have come to peaceful politics for establishing new culture and new thought.� Saying that the country was at the threshold of new Nepal with the CA election around the corner, Prachanda warned of stronger steps if the election was derailed. In an apparent reference to the recent agreement between the agitating Madhesi groups and the government, he claimed that the joint conspiracy of the imperialist and reactionary forces to obstruct poll was foiled.
