Behind every great fortune there is a great crime. The criminal elite, the oligarch rulers of the world do not enslave the world for the bulk of their careers and then suddenly flip altruistic at the end. Foundations, corporate giving, people think that these organizations amass wealth through the most despicable means, but are then motivated to do good for some reason. What a sham. Pickens is an oil man, he wants to control resources, and wind is something you can’t own. Therefore, he must be using the wind farm as investment to control something you can own. Something finite and precious. Water.
Here’s the cutsey cute version of this story and the hard news version. Take your pick, the truth is equally troubling either way.
Examiner Columnist | 8/21/08 7:10 PM Texas oil billionaire T. Boone Pickens is about to make a killing by selling water he doesn’t own. As he does it, it will be praised as a planet-friendly wind project. After he pulls it off, the media will deride it as craven capitalism. In truth, it is one the most audacious examples of politics for profit, showing how big government helps the biggest business steal from the rest of us. The plotline behind Pickens’ water-and-wind scheme is almost too rich to believe. If it were a movie script, reviewers would dismiss it as over-the-top.
I like cities and think that if they were designed right (green roofs everywhere, priority to bikes and pedestrians over cars, community gardens) they could serve as excellent habitats. I also like country life, with wide open spaces, and less hassle from authority. I don’t think there’s any one solution or any one way that people should live; with the right mindset and clean technology cities, small towns, and (maybe) even suburbs could work. Less government intrusion and oligarchical domination would make every living arrangement better. In his essay, “Big Cities; Living Proof that ‘Growth is Not Good’” Mike Folkerth makes some good points, but I think he fails to see that small town solutions could also work in cities.Continue Reading »
We live in a world run by psychopaths creating psychopaths. I can’t stress this enough. Our rulers really are insane; they lack the normal restraints that binds humanity together, and instead claim the Law of Power. CIA/Nazi mind control projects create killers. Like Manson. Think about that: the power elite direct government projects that create serial killers. Our own government programs ordinary citizens into zombies and aggressive beaasts. And we fret about elections. Anarchy is nothing to fear; unchecked power is the enemy. The state hijacked by the privileged minority is the threat, not the individual. Madness is a product of the Control Grid. Collective madness is the aim of the Power Elite.
All I can say is “Wow.” The State was a brilliant comedy show I remember from my youth, but I don’t remember it being political. This skit rolls with a black comedy to match the best Monty Python, and gets the viewer with a guiltily funny depiction of Eastern Euraope after the Iron Curtain’s fell. No doubt, the Soviet Union had some major problems, but it also gave people some options they wouldn’t have had in the US. When Goerge Soros, Jeffrey Sachs and the rest of the Free Market Globalist wrecking crew came in, all Russia’s assets were plundered, and ownership profits sent overseas to elite bankers. The “free market” was a joke; the modern Russian state was born into a wolf pack crib. Bankers and oligarchs won the day, but the average family was robbed and reduced to disoriented capitalist serfdom. Disaster capitalism. The destructive half of the Power Elite’s philosophy.
I don’t even know what to say about this. It’s happening every day. This is our war; this is how Amerika fights. Kids trained on video games, twisted by pharmaceuticals and armed with the latest weapons of mass destruction. There’s a whole group on LiveLeaks posting videos like this with Kid Rock music and comments like, “Yee Haw! Fuck them towel heads! Look at the pieces fly!” Just wait until the enemy is White Al Queada in America or Suburban Reds. This is coming to a town near you.
Wow, I wonder if this guy is actually a strong independent leader or if he’s a sock puppet for the NWO. Seriously, this is your patsy, you couldn’t find anyone better than this? Although, after seeing all the photos of W. shit-faced at the Olympics, it’s clear our monkey boy isn’t any more dignified. And Nero played his fiddle…
I’ve been saying this for years! All the BS about free markets and freedom going hand to hand is proven false by China. Modern gangster capitalism is simply not a free market. There is no rule of law in international finance, there is no fair competition, free trade, or open information sharing. Gangster capitalism works best under authoritarian system. Globalism has long been touted as a system that equalizes the world–the rich countries get poorer through outsourcing and the poorer nationions get richer. What’s also going on is that the “free” nations like the US get more authoritarian like the communist countries and the communist countries get more corporate. Were going to see a global blending of capitalism and totalitarianism. The global ghettos will still exist, but they will be more interspersed amongst the pockets of prosperity, as the favellas border the mansions in countries like Brazil today.

The truth behind who is primarily responsible for the bloodshed unfolding in South Ossetia and surrounding areas has been buried by the western corporate media. Georgian forces, with a green light from NATO and the support of American and Ukrainian mercenaries, launched a brutal attack targeting civilians and Russian peacekeepers timed to coincide with the opening of the Beijing Olympics so as to temporarily deflect attention before the inevitable Russian response, by which time the global media machine kicked into high gear to smear Russia as the villains of the entire piece.
To accept such a characterization is not parroting Russian military propaganda, it is a reflection of the stone cold fact that Georgia was responsible for the first provocation - which itself amounted to a war crime - that launched the conflict.
That is not to hide from the fact that Russia’s unrelenting response continues to slaughter untold numbers of innocent people.
