Anarchic Tendencies

[After the commentary Ray Wylie Hubbard takes us someplace NASTY which SOME PEOPLE actually pay to see… No, not the Republican convention… Courtesy of the respective artists and KPIG Radio Freedom California, Earth.]

«o» The Florida primary is in progress but it will be about eight hours until we start seeing the results. Meanwhile Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney are still insulting each other while EVERYONE is wondering where Rick Santorum’s campaign funds are coming from.

«o» Mic Check In Tahrir Square - The Egyptian protesters are demanding the military ruling junta turn over the government to their recently elected civilian government now while the military is clamping down on ‘international universities’ and searching for their Egyptian students… Then there’s the NGO the US Secretary of Labor’s son works for… The International Republican Institute… Six of the employees including the Secretary’s son have taken refuge at the US embassy.

Whatever it is the “International Republican Institute” is doing, it IS Not “Promoting Democracy”. Mark Weisbrot in the Guardian UK.

«o» The senate voted to curb insider trading by congressional and senatorial representatives yesterday. The vote was 93-2 Aye but the measure has yet to pass the house. Even if it does pass , expect no enforcement.

«o» There is a one day strike by unionized Kaiser-Permanente nurses throughout California today in an attempt to force the HMO to allow collective bargaining by nursing aides and other lower level staff. The last one day strike cost Kaiser $14 million dollars.

«o» More of a “Snake Farm” than it ever was - People have been dumping their pet Boa Constrictors in the Florida Everglades, which is the perfect environment for the HUGE WHEN FULLY GROWN reptiles. However, The Everglades contains no natural predators and the massive number of eight foot fully grown pythons resulting from that eco-imbalance is causing the count of small critters like bobcats and raccoons to plunge dramatically. More about reptiles in the commentary.

Travus is taking the ‘commentary day’ off…. But there IS news:

«o» Besides, do you trust the Persians with nuclear weapons any less than other nuclear powers like Israel, Pakistan, or South Africa? Iran has opened up their nuclear facilities and paperwork to outside inspection, meaning everyone but the United States, in an attempt to get the UN to call off it’s sanctions negotiations. There has been Russian opposition to the sanctions in the Security Council and IF there is no evidence that Iran is developing nuclear weapons technology when those papers and facilities are examined, the West is going to be sanctioning a country that is not in violation of any international law all…by… themselves.

«o» The Florida primary race is in full swing even as Rick Santorum heads headed home for the weekend to visit his child ill in the hospital and he’s not expected to be a contender, leaving Romney and Gingich, and Ron Paul.

«o» There were 400 people arrested or detained over the last couple of days as #OccupyOakland attempted to #Occupy the city’s abandoned convention center. When rebuffed they headed for Oakland city hall, during open lobby hours, and caused a major disturbance and some damage inside… there have been running street battles since and an attempted occupation of a YMCA building.

#OccupyOakland responds to what only could be termed a police riot, and the disinformation campaign that followed:

Occupy Oakland’s building occupation, an act of civil disobedience, was disrupted by a brutal police response yesterday. Protesters were met with baton strikes, shot with rubber bullets, and exposed to tear gas along the route. Police immediately issued denials that tear gas was used; however, as many victims can attest, it was used freely and without regard to safety of the diverse crowd, which included families and children.

The OPD and City have issued several false claims that need to be rebutted. OPD claim that there was no tear gas used, a fabrication easily refuted by video shot by protesters. Police also claim that several officers were injured by protesters—again, there is absolutely no evidence of this claim, which is made at every demonstration and subsequently proven to be baseless… [More]

An observer’s response to the city’s accusations of violence and vandalism is here.

«o» In Iraq there has been a second car bombing in three days which the government is saying are al-Qaeda actions designed to enflame Sunni sentiments and cause a Sunni/Shiite schism. But the final documents regarding Western security in the country are being looked over right now, so it COULD be people aligned with the currently standing power structure wanting ‘security’ in place to help them maintain power as well. FWIW, the Sunnis have decided to re-enter the Iraqi parliamentary process but they aren’t going to attend the sessions. Perhaps they’re worried about those attacks?

In OTHER News:

Correction… The other day it was reported that six Western students have been detained in Egypt including the son of the US Labor Secretary… That report was erroneous on my part.

They are not being allowed to leave the country and have taken refuge at the US embassy in Cairo. Further, they were not students but employees for an NGO, the International Republican Institute, which the Egyptian government is claiming as fomenting disruption in the country. Details.

“The inherent principles of human existence are summed up in the single law of solidarity. This is the golden rule of humanity, and may be formulated thus: no person can recognise or realise his or her own humanity except by recognising it in others and so cooperating for its realisation by each and all. No man can emancipate himself save by emancipating with him all the men about him.” — Mikhail Bakunin

«o» Last night’s Republican debate was banal and boring with two rich white guys arguing over who screwed you more. Rick Santorum may drop out shortly. More in the commentary.

«o» President Obama has toured two more states selling his economic package. He’s in Michigan this morning with visits to Detroit and Ann Arbor, after which the Obama will return to Washington.

«o» The house has reversed itself on raising the debt limit. Details.

More from The Hill:

Senate kills measure to stop President Obama from raising debt limit
By Alexander Bolton

President Obama will raise the nation’s debt limit to $16.39 trillion after the Senate on Thursday killed a measure to stop the president from adding another $1.2 trillion to the total.

After just over two hours of debate, the Senate voted 44-52 to block a motion to disapprove the debt-limit increase, which the House passed overwhelmingly last week. Four Senate Republicans missed the vote.

The $1.2 trillion debt increase is expected to cover the nation’s borrowing requirements until after the November election. [Details]

More about the revised military budgets and automation of our wars from RT:

Under the new budget, at least four new Predator and Reaper drone air patrols — each consisting of upwards of four crafts a piece — will be added to the military’s arsenal. As a result, the wars will rely less on on-the-ground marksmanship but on robotic planes controlled from command stations thousands of miles away. Under the sea, submarines will be outfitted with massive missiles and in the sky the US will get “improved air-to-air missiles,” which will also be operated remotely…

«o» A British re-construction contracting crew has been attacked in the provincial capital of Helmand Afghanistan and thirty one were killed.

Perhaps these are the people building the ring road around Afghanistan in a long range attempt by the West to foster cultural separation between the indigenous people of “Afghanistan” and “Pakistan”?

See: A Treacherous Trip On Afghanistan’s Ring Road at NPR Or: The Ring Road: A Gift Afghanistan Cannot Afford at The Kabul Press for more.

The Kabul Press article was written by “Matthew J. Nasuti. Mr. Nasuti was a Deputy City Attorney for Los Angeles and a U.S. Air Force Captain with Air Force Logistics Command.” wherein he posits:

“The 3,000 kilometer Ring Road connecting Kabul, Herat, Kandahar and back to Kabul could be an excellent idea, if Afghanistan were at peace, if the Ring Road had been properly constructed (using 100% grant funds) and if project funds were not being diverted to the Taliban. Since none of these factors are present, this project, one of the most ambitious and costly American aid project in decades, should never have been proposed.”

Penguin Shits on Kentucky Senate

A penguin named Paula from the Newport Aquarium pooped on the state Senate floor Tuesday.

The African blackfooted penguin had been brought to the chamber Tuesday by Senate President Pro Tem Katie Stine, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.

The Southgate Republican was presenting her resolution to honor the Newport Aquarium for its stewardship of sea life and penguins when Senate President David Williams told her the bird had “just defecated on the floor.” [Get the Hehhehheh …Hot Poop… Here]

We are also being told to “Sit Down and Shut Up” about the lies and deceit, as an anti-protest ordinance just passed in Chicago shows..

But that’s just right now…

Come May, there will be a whole ‘nother thing happening in Chicago, and if we play it right, the nation.

Tactical Briefing #25

Showdown in Chicago.
25 Jan 2012

Hey you redeemers, rebels and radicals out there,

Against the backdrop of a global uprising that is simmering in dozens of countries and thousands of cities and towns, the G8 and NATO will hold a rare simultaneous summit in Chicago this May. The world’s military and political elites, heads of state, 7,500 officials from 80 nations, and more than 2,500 journalists will be there.

And so will we…

…this time around we’re not going to put up with the kind of police repression that happened during the Democratic National Convention protests in Chicago, 1968 … nor will we abide by any phony restrictions the City of Chicago may want to impose on our first amendment rights.”
