Marco Rubio: Once a Traitor, Always a Traitor

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio was one of the co-authors of the so-called “Gang of Eight” cheap labor immigration bill.  This bill would have given amnesty to who knows how many foreign nationals living illegally in the United States.  It claimed that there would be future enforcement of the laws against illegal immigration, but of course, that was a lie.  The current laws are not being enforced: future laws against illegal immigration will also not be enforced.  If you check the details, you would find that this bill would also give amnesty to illegal immigrants that are NOT currently living in the country, and would give the executive branch so many exemptions that, effectively, it would eliminate any pretense of having any border control at all.  It would also massively increase legal immigration, ‘guest’ (i.e., permanent) immigration, etc.

In other words: the ‘gang of eight’ bill would completely open up the United States to the overpopulated third world.  Within a generation it would turn the United States into Mexico: within two generations it would turn the United States into Bangladesh.

The originators of this bill were traitors to this nation, who sold out to their wealthy patrons and their love of cheap labor.  You would be wise to remember when someone tries to stab you in the back.

GANG OF EIGHT TRAITORS TO THE AMERICAN NATION:

Sen. Michael Bennet, D-CO

Sen. Richard J. Durbin, D-IL

Sen. Jeff Flake, R-AZ

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC

Sen. John McCain, R-AZ

Sen. Bob Menedez, D-NJ

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-FL

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY

Currently Marco Rubio is a Republican candidate for US President, and, noting that the American public is not fond of the idea of turning the nation into an overpopulated sweatshop so that Mark Zuckerberg can get even richer, he has backed off from this policy.  ‘Oh I didn’t mean it’ ‘Oh I have thought anew’ etc. etc.

Don’t believe it.  Once a traitor always a traitor.

So now good old Marco Rubio is out there pushing the ‘I-squared’ initiative, which would massively increase H1B visas, and also allow any foreign national that has paid a diploma mill to give them a degree, effectively automatic citizenship.  WITHOUT LIMIT. This would take current US scientists and engineers – who are already grossly un- and under-employed – and drive them into the dirt.  But Mark Zuckerberg would become even richer, so Marco Rubio is OK with that.

We are not talking about the policy that gave America people like Einstein and Fermi and Szilard – which was a restrictive policy that picked and chose the best from the world.  We are talking about a policy that will import massive numbers of people of average ability, to flood the labor market – and of course, the next Einstein will choose to go to go to a more pleasant and less overpopulated country (Einstein never expressed a desire to move to Bangladesh, now did he?  People like Einstein never do.).

So politicians vote against the interests of the average worker, and then when the elections come around they say they are sorry and they didn’t mean it and they will never do it again, and after the elections they go right back to voting against the interests of the average worker.  Because you let them!

I mean the GOP leadership won a landslide election largely on opposition to Obama’s cheap-labor executive amnesty program for illegal immigrants.  Once the election was over, the Republican leadership declared war on the grass roots and got Obama's executive amnesty fully funded.  Oh they may get around to voting for a phony bill that they know will get vetoed, but that, of course, is window dressing.

As the old saying goes, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.  You simply MUST have longer memories.  People like Marco Rubio, and Scott Walker, and John McCain, they are whores, they have stabbed you in the back before, and you would be a fool to think that they will not stab you in the back again.

BREAKING NEWS: Scott Walker was apparently caught in a recent meeting with a bunch of wealthy donors promising that he was fine with giving amnesty to illegal immigrants.  If you vote for Walker because he publicly says that he is against a cheap-labor immigration policy, and he gets elected, and then he immediately does the opposite, don't say that I didn't warn you.

To some extent one can almost admire the honesty of Jeb Bush.  He is unapologetic in his contempt for his fellow American citizens, declaring that he finds foreign nationals to be much superior in their work ethic and fertility (they are such better sources of cheap labor, you see).  At least with Bush you know where he stands.

So currently there are few politicians that are on your side – because you have forgotten the first rule of politics: reward your friends AND PUNISH YOUR ENEMIES.  If politicians can get big bucks and institutional support for betraying you, and escape your wrath by saying that they didn’t mean it, well, they will keep on doing that, won’t they?  Currently in the presidential field the only candidates even remotely worthy of consideration are Ted Cruz and Rick Santorum (although in the US senate Jeff Sessions deserves especial mention – if there is a draft Sessions movement I urge you to join).  All the others, from what I see so far, are either openly inimical to the interests of the American worker, or putting forward a false front while still doing the bidding of those vile oligarchs whose only God is ever higher profits from ever cheaper labor.

Never forgive.  Never forget.  Time is fast running out.

'Free Speech' and Wahhabist Islamic Nutjobs - Once Again Missing the Point

So yet again we have some Wahhbist Islamic nut jobs attacking a European cartoonist - this time in Denmark - oh and then they went off and killed some Jews, you know, just on principle.

There is this mindless debate about whether free speech allows people to insult the prophet Mohammed - many people seem to think that it was the victim's fault for deliberately inflaming religious tensions.  But this is missing the point entirely.

There are currently about 7 billion people in the world.  They say all kinds of things.  Suppose I demanded that, if any single one of these people say or write anything that I find offensive - for example, that they dislike the color orange - that I will run amok and and blow things up and shoot some Jews.  Would you:

A. Say of course free speech is not an unlimited license to defame people's deeply held beliefs, and we must censor the internet and the newspapers across the entire planet to make sure that nothing anywhere is ever said that might upset me.  Nobody will ever be allowed to say anything bad about the color orange ever again.  And if they do, and I kill a bunch of random people, well it was not my fault because I was provoked.

B. Say that is it good and noble to write insulting and disgusting things about anything and that this must be celebrated with mass public exhibits of insulting and disgusting things.

C. Say that I am clearly an unstable nut job and this has nothing at all to do with free speech and that people like me should be locked up or at least exiled to some godforsaken place with others of my mindset where we can vent our rage on each other without endangering decent people.

If you answered C, congratulations, you are sane.  And, for now, very much in the minority.

The world is a big and messy place.  If you look carefully, you can certainly find all kinds of things here and there that will offend you.  If that sets you into a murderous rage, well, then you have serious issues dealing with reality.

I could see getting unhappy if, for example, a government or media conglomerate pushed something offensive as an official policy - like Jews are subhuman and must be exterminated - but to fly off the handle because of an individual comment?  Really?

Wahhabist Islam is the religion of perpetual outrage.  Someone draws a cartoon of the prophet Mohammed with a bomb in his turban - and of course they go and blow things up (!!!).  They see women not treated like animals, or a Jew, or a Christian church, or a bible, or a Hindu - there is a very long list here - and they get offended, and when Wahhabists get offended people die.

If the extremist Islamics are so readily offended by the world, perhaps Islam and the world should have an amicable divorce.  The Wahhabists should retreat to their own lands, break off all communications with the infidels, and seal themselves into a bubble of piety.  I think that the Wahhabists would be much happier that way.  I know that the rest of the world would be.

The Prospect for America: More Doom Ahead

It has recently been reported that since 2009, Barack Obama has given about 5 million work permits to foreign nationals that they were not legally authorized to have.  This is in addition to his executive amnesty for another 5 million illegals, and his ongoing opening of the border and inviting we don’t even know how many other illegals and third-world refugees into the country, and also not including multiple massive streams of legal immigration.

This led to a small fuss on the DrudgeReport, but of course was effectively censored from the mainstream media, and other than Senator Jeff Sessions – perhaps the last decent American politician – almost nobody of import has spoken out against this.

The outrages are piling on so fast and so heavy that we are becoming numb.  It’s hard to even know where to start with this one.  So let me break it down into sections.

1. America is Doomed.  Well, at least, America as we currently (think that we) know it. The rich are going whole-hog and working around the clock to ignite a population explosion.  Given that there is no check on their behavior, it looks like they will succeed.  Once they get enough young and high-fertility rate third-world refugees into the country, demographic momentum (look it up on wikipedia) will take over and there will be no way to stop the process even if the American people do somehow regain control of their country (although there is zero objective evidence of this happening).

This won’t work out.  Every time that the rich have engineered a population explosion the results have always been brutal poverty for the many and great profits for the few.  Mexico, India, Syria, England… America as a land of opportunity, as a place where anyone willing to work moderately hard can earn a decent living, as a country with abundant resources, that America is swiftly headed into the history books. 

2. The American Elites Despise the American people.  It is tempting to blame this all on the ‘Imperial Presidency’ of Barack Obama, but that is an error.  Obama is just an errand boy.  A particularly glib and well-paid errand boy, but an errand boy all the same.  Obama could never get away with this without the support of the elites of the United States.  For that matter, he would never have become president had he not been selected and the deck stacked in his favor. 

During the great depression the American people had a very low fertility rate, because they were worried about having children that they could not support.  During the 1950’s they had somewhat more children, because times were good.  This is how a decent people behave.  The low fertility rate in the depression no more made the American people extinct than the high rates in the 1950’s caused overpopulation, because these were appropriate reactions to the existing circumstances.  Now with the economy being crushed, times are not so good, so Americans are once again having fewer children.  Jeb Bush has recently said that this is terrible, that Americans are not having ‘enough’ children to suit him and his fellow oligarchs, so they need massive third-world immigration to cancel out the effect of the personal decisions of the American people.

The arrogance of this.  It is to treat the American people like cattle.  Jeb Bush and his ilk probably wish they could directly assign Americans to breed the requisite number of children, so that they could be assured of ‘affordable labor costs’.  Astonishing.  There are also other quotes to the effect that Jeb Bush in general feels that American people are lazy and stupid and the foreigners are so much better.  Again, the contempt of Jeb Bush for his fellow citizens is breathtaking. 

And if the foreign nationals like the Mexican people are so much better than the American people, why then does Mexico suck?  Why do Mexicans want so badly to move to the United States, if they are so wonderful and having more children than you can afford to support is such a guaranteed producer of prosperity?

3. America is not a Democracy.  Think of this: starting in 2009 the government gave 5 million work permits to foreign nationals that they did not legally qualify for.  And it is 2015 and we are only now learning of this.  Think of all the government employees that knew of this – and they were under strict orders and strict surveillance to keep this secret from the American people.  Again, the arrogance.  The American people have no right to know what their government is doing to them.  They have no right to affect what their government is doing to them.  Anyone who ‘whistleblows’ will be made an enemy of the state and crushed.  Amazing.

Trade agreements are being negotiated – and the American people cannot know what is in them.  Hostile foreign powers know what is in them, multinational corporations know what is in them, wealthy Americans know - just not the American people.  Illegal immigrants are being sent all around the country and their children enrolled in schools without medical screening – and of course the American people cannot know how many or where they come from or where they have been sent.  And the list goes on.

To all those people who think that whistleblowers are somehow endangering American national security: say what?  How did not allowing the American people to know about all of these improperly handed out work permits endanger national security?  And as far as the NSA spying on American citizens: that’s not about looking for terrorists.  It’s about making sure that nobody can spill the beans on whatever the government is doing that it doesn’t want the American people to find out about.

You say that nobody should care about being spied on by the NSA if they have nothing to hide?  Well, suppose you find out that the government is doing something horrible and illegal.  You want to let your fellow citizens know – but you can’t, because the NSA can easily track you down.  Think long and hard about just what it means that the government can read all of your emails and know who you are calling on the phone and who you are sending letters to.  

There is no longer a rule of law.  The President – acting on behalf of the oligarchs who really run things – can simply order that someone be arrested for taking a picture in a public space of something the American people might want to know about.  And it stands.  He can order pretty much anything he wants.  Law be damned.

Someone once said that anything that 500 rich people want is not illegal.  We have moved beyond that: if the rich want something the law is irrelevant.  The judiciary won’t do anything because it is now accepted that if you label anything at all as an ‘administrative’ decision it cannot be overturned and it is not unconstitutional.   Additionally, it is now an established legal principle that the non-billionaire American people do not have any standing in court on issues that directly affect them. 

4. The Mainstream Press is Utterly Corrupt.  The mass-media corporate press is totally and completely corrupt.  Why was this giving of 5 million work permits since 2009 not dug out by the press before now?  Because they were told not to.  Indeed, while the DrudgeReport continues to perform yeoman service on this topic (for now), the mainstream press has effectively buried this news.  I checked Google news and found no hint of the issue – just stuff on Bruce Jenner’s sex change operation.

It should also be pointed out that, while better than nothing, the ‘alternative’ internet news sources and bloggers cannot fill the gap.  They don’t have the mass market to make an impact, and they don’t have the resources to conduct investigations on their own.  They are dependent on getting their information from mainstream corporate sources.  They can point out the contradictions in the mainstream news, but they cannot report on what is not reported – ultimately the mainstream news controls the terms of the debate. 

The censorship of the press has reached Soviet levels.  As just one example, any discussion of the bad effects of massive immigration – lowering wages, increasing traffic congestion, new diseases, water shortages, etc.etc. – is completely forbidden.  You can’t talk about that.  Journalism is dead.  The news is all scripted in advance at corporate headquarters.

Now a billionaire can legally buy up a newspaper like the New York Times, and have it print whatever propaganda in support of whatever issues and political candidates that he or she favors, and that's OK.  Under the Citizens United case, foreign interests can contribute unlimited money in support of a political agenda in secret.  Bankers can bribe politicians by offering them plum jobs after they leave office.  And recently we have heard that Wall Street is actually paying bankers to work for the government - it's effectively as if they were on both the public and private payroll at the same time.  But we have to regulate independent outlets like the DrudgeReport because, you know, we have to eliminate the toxic effect of money on politics and maybe somebody slipped Matt Drudge a twenty dollar bill once and it wasn't reported…  Words fail me.  Argh!

5. What is to be done?  I have no idea.  Things are falling apart so fast that it’s head-spinning.  I suggest that supporting people like Senator Jeff Sessions – in word and deed – could be useful.  Also refusing to ever vote for anyone who has ever been for massive cheap-labor immigration.  Remember: the track record for people who once voted for open borders ‘seeing the light’ and saying that yes we need to enforce the law and control the border, is nearly 100% that they will stab you in the back immediately after the election. Never forgive, never forget.  And yes, I’m thinking of you, Marco Rubio and John McCain.  Once a traitor, always a traitor.  

Give Hate a Chance Part II

Let us consider further the positive aspects of hate – or perhaps we should use a less severe word, like dislike.  Under the sovereign dogma of ‘multiculturalism’ we are told that we are not allowed to hate anyone or anything for any reason.  Wife beating, pederasty, female genital mutilation, child slavery… increasingly saying anything bad about these patterns of behavior is not only frowned upon it can get you a stiff jail sentence.

Of course, this is insane.  If we don’t want the world to go to hell, we simply MUST be allowed to dislike other people and other cultures.

Consider how you developed, and how you got to be the person that you are.  Dislike – hate, even – was a vital part of that process.  As you were growing up there were likely times when you were rude, or destructive, or didn’t hold up your end of the bargain.  And you were punished – you didn’t get invited to the party, or get the hot date, or the new business opportunity, etc.  And – hopefully – you learned from that, and grew and improved as a person.

Imagine that as you were growing up, that no matter what you did, nobody ever criticized you or ostracized you or punished you in any way.  You would today not even be a wild animal (wild animals do have their rules, learned the hard way) – you would be a monster.

Now imagine a culture that nobody could ever criticize, where bad behavior did not result in losing any opportunities for business or travel etc.  That would be equally insane, would it not?  How can the world progress, if criticism cannot be allowed?  It’s madness.

The current president of Egypt (Abdel Fattah al-Sisi) recently gave a quite remarkable speech on new year’s day 2015.  (I regret that I can only find these few translated paragraphs – if someone knows where I can find the full text in english please let me know).  Here is a copy of the excerpts:

I am referring here to the religious clerics.   We have to think hard about what we are facing—and I have, in fact, addressed this topic a couple of times before.  It’s inconceivable that the thinking that we hold most sacred should cause the entire umma to be a source of anxiety, danger, killing and destruction for the rest of the world.  Impossible!

That thinking—I am not saying “religion” but “thinking”—that corpus of texts and ideas that we have sacralized over the centuries, to the point that departing from them has become almost impossible, is antagonizing the entire world.  It’s antagonizing the entire world!

Is it possible that 1.6 billion people [Muslims] should want to kill the rest of the world’s inhabitants—that is 7 billion—so that they themselves may live? Impossible!

I am saying these words here at Al Azhar, before this assembly of scholars and ulema—Allah Almighty be witness to your truth on Judgment Day concerning that which I’m talking about now.

All this that I am telling you, you cannot feel it if you remain trapped within this mindset. You need to step outside of yourselves to be able to observe it and reflect on it from a more enlightened perspective.

I say and repeat again that we are in need of a religious revolution. You, imams, are responsible before Allah. The entire world, I say it again, the entire world is waiting for your next move… because this umma is being torn, it is being destroyed, it is being lost—and it is being lost by our own hands.

I cannot speak to whether al-Sisi is a great man, or even always a very nice man.  But these excerpts at least are profoundly intelligent.  Instead of screaming that all infidels must be killed because one person out of seven billion was a jerk, he asks: why today do so many people hate and fear Muslims?  Could, perhaps, some of that be our fault?  Have we strayed from the path these last two centuries?  Where might we be lacking, and how might we change?

This is the thinking of a sane individual.  And it occurred in reaction not to people that professed love of all things Islamic, but in reaction to people that expressed great displeasure of many things Islamic.  Hate is not always negative, but can be a very powerful force for positive change.

So where did this madness of ‘multiculturalism’ and ‘political correctness’ come from?  In part it must be because thinking is hard.  To hate everyone other than yourself is easy, it takes no thought.  To refuse to hate anyone at all is also easy, and takes no thought.  Sanity is hard – to hate people and cultures who deserve hate, and avoid hating people and cultures that do not deserve it, requires wisdom, knowledge, humility, intelligence…  And there are no guarantees here, no easy formula that will guarantee 100% success.  One must always be aware that one might be making a mistake, always question yourself and be open to changing your mind.  How seductive the simple mantra of never ever hating anything must be….

And reason goes both ways.  If someone doesn't like you, they might have a point - or they might be an asshole.  There is no escaping the need for judgement, and judgment is hard.

But there is another reason for the rise of ‘multiculturalism’ and ‘political correctness’.  You see, forcing population growth higher by importing an excessive number of foreign nationals is the most surefire way of the rich getting even richer.  Nothing boosts profits like cheap labor, and nothing makes cheap labor better than 100 people competing for each job.  But if you want to import a large number of dirt-poor refugees, where are they most likely to come from?  From decent countries, that have moderate standards of behavior and have created a high level of prosperity?  Or from awful places, where corruption and child slavery and breeding like rodents etc. are prevalent and the place is a cesspit where people dream only of escaping?  Obviously from the latter. 

But then if the rich are going to invite the scum of the earth into a country, the locals might not want that.  I mean, if you threw a party, would you want some alcoholic weirdo who never bathed and insulted everyone and stole everything not nailed down invited?  I don’t think so.  So the rich simply outlaw any criticism of other cultures – oh we must all love each other, and nobody can complain when we jam in a hundred million Wahhabist nutjobs because I’M making big money NOW…  And deprived of the bracing effect of intelligent criticism, the world slowly spirals into rot and ruin.

The world needs more, not less, intelligent and reasoned hatred.  As I said before, just give hate a chance.
