What's really happening to the people of Benton Harbor:
By: AGelbert Date: August 24, 2014, 5:21 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
What's really happening to the people of Benton Harbor:
The thrust [of the Berrien county courthouse] is to physically
remove and destroy families through the use of the criminal
justice system. Every person they can put in jail; every person
whose voting rights they can revoke with a felony conviction;
every person they can cause to lose their job by putting them on
probation; every person they can cause to lose the ability to
pay for basic necessities through imposing ruinous court costs
and probation is all part of the process.
In the 1960s, it was called Negro removal. In Bosnia, it was
called ethnic cleansing. It could be called genocide, the
removal of the minority population for the purpose of
redevelopment of the land. That’s what’s happening in Benton
Harbor and the foremost leader of the resistance is Rev. Edward
Pinkney. --Civil rights attorney, Hugh "Buck" Davis

Libertarians of the world unite: you have nothing to lose but
your credibility ;D
There is something superficially appealing about libertarianism.
Its obvious derivation from ‘liberty’ makes people comfortable
being described as a libertarian. Indeed, libertarians’ advocacy
of free speech, freedom of association and permissive attitudes
towards sexuality resonate both with long-established rights and
a more tolerant Britain in which institutionalized bigotry has
little traction. Investigate a little further, however, and the
libertarian position looks less comforting and more like a fig
leaf for closet racists. :o

If libertarianism is so great, why do neo-nazi flock to it like
flies?

I was horrified to see a lot of libertarians claim that "blacks
are inferior" and that we are "polluting the white genes" with
"black trash".
I don't know about direct, overt racism but it's a great cover
for plutocrats. I would agree that the ideas of Rand "No Blacks
in My Bar" Paul's thoughts on what a bar owner should be able to
do would have a Jim Crow effect across the South.

Exposing the Racist History Of Libertarianism And Murray
Rothbard
Gary Anderson
Murray Rothbard was the student of Ludwig Von Mises and a friend
of Ayn Rand. Rothbard was a racist, and believed in the
"voluntary" separation of the races. I have argued that his
teacher, Mises, was an elitist with fascist tendencies. This
part of libertarian history is a part that the libertarians
would like to cover up. It slips out at times and has done so
with Ron Paul, Rand Paul and others. But we need to take a look
at what these guys believed, circa 1990 because that was not so
long ago.
We know that Rothbard spoke kindly of David Duke, the KKK office
seeker. One disaffected libertarian was dismayed that Rothbard
would seek to align himself with a pure racist just because he
believed in limited government. The only reason that Rothbard
did not back a separate state for blacks was because he was
afraid it would cost too much in "foreign aid".
HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-200714183543.bmp<br
/>
It should be noted that Ron Paul distanced himself from
Rothbard's racism, in stating that racism is a collectivist
view. ;) Still, there is a strong racial tension in
libertarian thought. Ron Paul's newletters had racist thoughts
in them, although Dr Paul stated they were put in his
publications without his knowledge. ;) I have no reason to
doubt that. But these were mistakes that are significant. :(
But even Rand Paul made a racial gaff right after he won the
senate seat, that he regretted, when he said he was for the
repeal of the 1964 civil rights act. It would seem that this
racial/libertarian theme continues.
So then, we need to look at more history to see if this is a
constant pattern or if it is just an aberration. After all, many
buy into the financial views of the libertarians. They are used
to justify Wall Street excess. But are they more insidious and
dangerous than that? Racism is actually quite compatible with
libertarian economics.
Libertarian economics stresses individualism, even though these
guys know that their moms changed their diapers and they had to
get help all along the way growing up. ;D Individualism is
great, but I remember going to class reunions and seeing that
once you got to the 20th reunion, there was a lot less
individualism and a lot more humility. We all need people. We
are not islands.
Yet there is a theme historically that comes from Mises. For
Mises, as I quoted in Ludwig Von Mises Implies Being a Savage
Animal Is Ok!, the newborn child is born a savage. This is why
libertarians only accept the legitimacy of voluntary
relationships. This plays into the desire to repeal the civil
rights act, so that you can kick out ethnic minorities from your
restaurant without serving them.
This plays into the desire of Rothbard to voluntarily separate
from blacks in a nation and in public activity. You can see how
this insidious morality breaks down society and good will.
One can deduce that if the foundation of libertarianism is
rotten, so is the elitist financial decay that seeks limited
government to the extreme. It is a decay because it is based
upon the desire to ignore the needs of the greater society. But
that society has been stronger because capitalism is tempered
with compassion. Where capitalism becomes anarcho-capitalism, a
term coined by Rothbard, it becomes a capitalism of unwholesome
greed.
HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/www_MyEmoticons_com__burp.gif
The
capitalist still has to take the subway, or drive his car into
the city. If he gets shot at in a destabilized society how does
that benefit him? If there is no money to fix the roads, how can
he do his job?
The danger, of course, is that people will become less
socialized if there are tech gadgets to allow people to stay at
home and work from home. One can hope that these young people
who have this wealth and independence will come to see the
importance of the common good anyway.

Environmental Control Drones: A True Tale from South Carolina
Posted on August 30, 2014 by Wendy McCarty
A white truck with a decal on the side pulls into the driveway.
The decal itself is unreadable from afar. A man wearing tan
pants and a white shirt with a circular decal on the shoulder
comes to the front door. As the man approaches, the decal on his
shirt is easily readable “Environmental Department.”
The door is answered.
“Hello?” Says the homeowner.
“What’s going on in your backyard?” the agent asks.
“Just a little bit of permaculture” the homeowner responds.
“Put on some shoes and lets go back there and take a look”
“Bamboo???” The agent asks once they are both in the backyard.
“Yeah…it is planted all around the yard.”
“You know… it (the bamboo) is really devaluing your property. I
could show you pictures of some overgrown bamboo that has taken
over properties. It is bad to have. It gets out of control. Go
back in the house. I’m going to take a few pictures and then I’m
going to leave. It is not illegal to have a garden, but you have
to keep your weeds trimmed to below 16 inches. They have to be
cut. This property is considered overgrown.”

The Bamboo "monster"

The Bamboo "Monster"
Snippet:
Did you know that from 1898 to 1975 the US Department of
Agriculture introduced hundreds of my varieties to the states.
The plan was to plant me widely as a commercially viable plant.
Around 1960, the New Crops Branch of the USDA studied
Phyllostachys bambusoides and loblolly pine to compare yields
for pulp production. Then on July 1, 1965 the Department of
Agriculture just stopped researching me. I was very confused by
that because I’m much more virile than pine. Latter I found out
that the government turned their back on me because loblolly
pine business interests wanted them to. >:(The same thing
happened to hemp. >:(
Contrary to what idiots may think, I am native to North America.
I’m not an invasive weed, or a pest. For some reason Americans
seem to think that I can defy the laws of nature. They think I
will “take over” if you plant me. Well, yeah, I will take over
if you don’t keep me in check. Let me tell you a little secret.
I’ll throw this little nugget out there as a peace offering; I
have an Achilles Heel. If you want to control me, all you have
to do is dig a trench around me and fill it with sand. Then,
twice a year, you take a spade and plunge it into the sand. When
you find one of my rhizomes you cut it. It’s called root pruning
(or rhizome pruning in my case), and it really is that easy. If
you do that I won’t escape containment. Well, I may still find
my way out by plunging down beneath your trench, but eventually,
if I do that, I’ll send up a shoot and then you’ll know where I
escaped. Then you just eat the shoot, or don’t, and pull the
rhizome up and put me back into containment.
My growth habits are not a state secret, and I’m easy to contain
if you just understand how I grow. Sure, once I get established
as a healthy grove I’m just about impossible to get rid of, but
then what’s wrong with being strong and powerful? I am stronger
than steel and I’m capable of weathering hurricanes. Indigenous
cultures know that when mother nature strikes via natural
disasters I’m the safest place to seek refuge. I’ve been told
that I have somewhere around 1400 uses for mankind. Why, kind
reader, do Americans hate the most useful plant to them on the
planet?!!!

LD,
I've been thinking about the "problem" of Bamboo as mistakenly
being branded UN -"American".
Hollywood is the culprit! Bamboo is associated with Banana
Republics and/or Asian tropical jungles. :( Merikans have seen
too many movies of the "japs" o the "gooks" hiding in the bamboo
OR preparing bamboo SPIKE booby traps for unwary Merikans.
Bamboo just ain't Anglo-Saxon as far as our propaganda pushers
are concerned!
Sure, it's INSANE that Merikans just LOVE BANANAS and don't seem
to make the same connection (United Fruit Fascists and Chiquita
Bananas had great PR for over a century!) THERE but that just
proves how "successfully" we-the-people have been brainwashed
and DUMBED DOWN.

By the way, there is a guy in Vermont that is growing a type of
bamboo that IS invasive here. ;D Good for him! This whole
"invasive" thing is kind of stupid anyway. This is ONE PLANET!
If it grows, it's because it LIKES IT THERE! Invasive, MY ARSE!

[quote]The World of Bamboo
by Gib Cooper
Bamboo's natural range includes every continent except Europe
and Antarctica.
We once had 5 million acres of an American native bamboo known
as Canebrake or Arundinaria gigantea growing in our Southeastern
quarter. This bamboo and its ecosystem were soon greatly
diminished in area by the migration of settlers in the early
19th century. :emthdown: The bamboo grew in good soil and was
cleared for farmland. Unbelievably, a new species was described
for the USA in 2006. Its name is Hill cane, or Arundinaria
appalachiana.
Stone Age Asians may have relied heavily on tools they made of
materials other than stone. The lack of stone tools of the
quality found in Europe in much of Southeast Asia roughly
corresponds to the natural distribution of bamboo in the region.
It appears that Southeast Asia has been heavily forested for
many millions of years. This is still one of the areas of dense
bamboo forests remaining in the world. Man may have relied more
on bamboo than we know. Based on this theory, bamboo was
probably one of the most important materials used by early Asian
people. Even today, the use of bamboo has more significance to
Asian cultures than any other.
Evidence of bamboo use is found in South America. Some
excavations of early dwellings have imprints of bamboo canes and
split, woven material preserved in the mud or adobe used in the
construction or as protective living stockades around villages.
Bamboo is an incredible grass that has long been in use by
people around the globe. In our modern world it is finding a new
place in the spectrum of plants, fibers and foods used to
enhance the quality of our lives. :emthup: We are not simply
talking about one plant. Bamboo is a large group of giant
grasses with over 1,200 species found from the tropics to
temperate regions.
