Democratic apocalypse

The latest events in the middle east are not looking too favorable for the theory of democratic peace. I said this in an earlier post, and this is just an “I told you so” repeat.  Things were bad then, and they are getting worse now, as the middle eastern parties converge to the center and the mainstream – revealing that the center and the mainstream favors suicidal war on infidels. If nearby Jews and Christians are on the firing line, …

Obama’s Birth Certificate Forged

What Obama released is a composite photoshopped together from multiple documents. Archive Index Systems spots undeniable photoshop artifacts in the released birth certificate. The background text, from one certificate, is slightly curved, which is what you get if you scan some paper that is not perfectly flat – the document was scanned from a book, so near the book binding did not lie perfectly flat. The name of the hospital is not curved– so was not scanned from the same …

Herman Cain

The rest of the republican field is now acting as if Herman Cain is the man to beat, acting as if he is now the front runner for Republican candidate and president, which makes him the front runner for the moment, though it is a long way to go to the 2012 presidential elections. I suspect this may be charisma envy. Obama has a lot of charisma, so Republicans are looking for someone with charisma. Herman Cain has more charisma …

Anne Mansouret confirms rape of Tristane Banon by DSK

It seems that the chief of the IMF has been in the habit of raping women for quite some time – and no one called him on it until today. Ann Mansouret confirms that her daughter, Tristane Banon was raped by Dominique Strauss-Kahn So far, the hotel management has had balls the size of apples, the south central cops have had balls the size of apples, and, to my considerable surprise, the judge has had balls the size of apples. …

Lifestyles of the benefactors of the poor

The other McCain has an interesting tale to tell: Recently the World Bank, led by the leading socialist candidate for the french presidency, in its endless efforts to help the poor, helped the poor backward illegal immigrant Muslim majority of the Ivory Coast take over from the slightly less poor and slightly more advanced native Christian minority of the Ivory Coast. But how do these people live when not tirelessly serving the poor? The managing director of the International Monetary …

Google is evil

Firefox reports your IP and all nearby wifi systems to Google. Thunderbird reports your IP to Google. From the nearby wifi systems, Google can locate you relative to nearby wifi points.. From a multitude of browsers reporting in, it can locate wifi systems relative to each other. When it does ground level photo drives for Google Earth, it locates wifi systems relative to streets and houses. Knowing the location of some wifi systems relative to streets and houses, it can …

Democracy in the Ivory Coast

The UN refugee agency estimates that over a million people have fled.  Many of them are hiding in the jungle, and many of them have no food. However, it piously avoids saying who is fleeing whom, and why. The great majority of refugees are westernized Christians and animists  fleeing Muslims with a markedly lower level of civilization.  The great majority of refugees are not immigrants or the children of immigrants, but people who have lived on the coast for generations, …

The survival prospects of democracy

Until the American Republic demonstrated impressive longevity, the conventional wisdom was that democracy was inherently short lived.  As soon as the masses discovered they could vote themselves rich, it would implode. Today, we observe that if it does not fall apart immediately, the elite import cheaper votes, and then it falls apart. The latest casualty of democracy is the Ivory Coast.  According the the mainstream media, everything is just lovely on the ivory coast, now that the Ivy League graduate …

Who rules the world?

Tracing rulers academic connections yields an interesting picture. Thus Mugabe, like so many third world rulers, comes from the London School of Economics, but Harry Lee Kuan Yew was educated in Singapore. And lo and behold, Mugabe was installed in power by the “international community” aka the tranzis, while Harry Lee Kuan Yew was installed in power by Singaporeans. A similar trace is visible in the Ivory Coast, where shortly before I wrote this, the “international community” held a blatantly …

Conservative bloggers declare victory

According to Strata and others, the outcome of the budget negotiations (to reduce by one percent spending that was recently increased by by thirty percent) was a mighty victory. By a vote of approximately ten to one, the US House of Representatives voted to continue at slightly lower speed on a course that leads to bankruptcy, hyperinflation, social collapse, and, if we are lucky, civil war in the next decade or two.
