So what is the media and political leaders saying about Assange today


Glenn Beck said that Julian Assange should be tried for treason and executed.

Mike Huckabee said, "“Whoever in our government leaked that information is guilty of treason, and I think anything less than execution is too kind a penalty."

Bill O'Reilly said leakers are traitors who "should be executed or put in prison for life.”

Sarah Palin said to "target WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange like the Taliban."

Peter King, Congressman, wants Wikileaks designated a terrorist organization.

Wayne Simmons of Fox News calls Wikileaks a terrorist organization.

Lt. Col. Ralph Peters of Fox News: "I would execute leakers."

Liz Cheney (daughter of Dick Cheney) said Obama should shut down Wikileaks and prosecute Julian Assange.

Mike Rogers, Congressman, calls for treason charges and execution.

Conservatives tell Obama to send Julian Assange to Guantanamo.

Rush Limbaugh, radio talk show host: "Back in the old days when men were men and countries were countries, this guy would die of lead poisoning from a bullet in the brain..."

Todd Schnitt, radio talk show host: "Assange is a terrorist, an enemy combatant, and needs to be treated as such."

Steve Gill, radio talk show host, says Assange should be targetted as a terrorist, and captured or killed.

Tim Flanagan, University of Calgary Professor: ""Well I think Assange should be assassinated actually. . . I think Obama should put out a contract and maybe use a drone or something."

John Hawkins, blogger, says the CIA should assassinate Julian Assange:

Julian Assange is not an American citizen and he has no constitutional rights. So, there's no reason that the CIA can't kill him. Moreover, ask yourself a simple question: If Julian Assange is shot in the head tomorrow or if his car is blown up when he turns the key, what message do you think that would send about releasing sensitive American data?

Brad Thor, author, said Bradley Manning should get the death penalty.

Candice Miller, Congresswoman: "Julian Assange and WikiLeaks are criminals whose actions support terrorists and criminal regimes around the world. It is now long past time for our government to shut WikiLeaks down."

G. Gordon Liddy, former White House advisor and radio talk show host: Assange deserves to be on kill list.

SCHRODINGER'S CAT IS ALIVE/DEAD

The TSA SCANNERS


If you're a libertarian you shouldn't be surprised by this move. If the US government is willing to kill a million in Iraq, have concentration camps filled with Japanese during WWII, throw millions in jail for having an improper plant in their pocket, then of course they are willing to molest you at the airport...getting up in arms about the TSA is just ridiculous when they're doing so much more evil shit.

Thoughts on human nature from a psycho-historian view point


An Examination of Innate Aggression within Human Nature

by Carlos Morales

The study of aggression as an aspect of human nature is complex; even though hunter-gatherers are now seen as “noble-savages” who were corrupted by social institutions which led to war, and media images of Guantanamo Bay and Darfur suggest that the human race is in demise and more violent than ever, violent acts globally have went down (deMause, 2009). Although one-hundred million people suffered war related deaths in the 20th century, by percentage over two billion people would have had to been killed in order to match up with the homicide rate of 10,000 years ago (Pinker, 2009) ). The majority of human culture began 100,000 years ago—about 5,000 generations—which is too short of time span for such large rates of aggression to change, therefore epigenetic evolution of the psyche—the change of architecture of the brain occurring during development in the womb and during early childhood—is most likely the source of change in aggression, rather than a change in genetic evolution (deMause 2002).

Bring it all together Sunday



Here's some things to read instead of going to church

The new wikileaks US embassy database has been release, and the guardian has a very organized layout

Reason recently published a better than mediocare editorial regarding Obama's use of of national security as a cover for violating people's rights.

A speech called Prison Is A Business And YOU Are The Commodity that is worth watching

Another retired cop working for a drug ring , you'd think the huge pensions they get for formerly pulling over people for going 5 over the speed limit and throwing people in jail for having the wrong plant in their pocket would have provided enough money

A look into the Rally to Restore Sanity

And finally, Hooray for the TSA

Jesus didn't exist (well at least not the one from the bible)


The Historicity of the New Testament By Carlos Morales


The authenticity and historical validity of the Christian Holy Scriptures has rarely been questioned due to the sacred position it has been endowed. By protecting the text from scholarly criticism, as the Church has done for millennia, the New Testament scriptures have “…bypassed rational argumentation by cultivating superstitious fears” (Price 10). As Christianity remains prominent, emphasis on misconceptions of biblical accounts, as well as the validity of those texts, is necessary in the quest for knowledge. From the Letters from Paul to the Gospel of John, the New Testament is riddled with historical inaccuracies, contradictions, and without regard to the time-space continuum.

Stand up for what you know is true


The Case for Radical Idealism

by Murray Rothbard

Every "radical" creed has been subjected to the charge of being "utopian," and the libertarian movement is no exception. Some libertarians themselves maintain that we should not frighten people off by being "too radical," and that therefore the full libertarian ideology and program should be kept hidden from view. These people counsel a "Fabian" program of gradualism, concentrating solely on a gradual whittling away of State power. An example would be in the field of taxation: Instead of advocating the "radical" measure of abolition of all taxation, or even of abolishing income taxation, we should confine ourselves to a call for tiny improvements; say, for a two percent cut in income tax.

In the field of strategic thinking, it behooves libertarians to heed the lessons of the Marxists, because they have been thinking about strategy for radical social change longer than any other group. Thus, the Marxists see two critically important strategic fallacies that "deviate" from the proper path: one they call "left-wing sectarianism"; the other, and opposing, deviation is "right-wing opportunism." The critics of libertarian "extremist" principles are the analog of the Marxian "right-wing opportunists."

It all comes back to childhood


The History of Child Abuse

by Lloyd deMause

An amazing article by the Founder of the Institute of Psycho-history Lloyd deMaus regarding Child Abuse and its effect over many generations.

The Journal of Psychohistory 25 (3) Winter 1998

The following speech was given at the National Parenting Conference in Boulder, Colorado, on September 25, 1997.

During the past three decades, I have spent much of my scholarly life examining primary sources such as diaries, autobiographies, doctor's reports, ethnographic reports and other documents that document what it must have felt like to have been a child--yesterday and today, in the East and the West, in literate and preliterate cultures.

In several hundred studies published by myself and my associates in The Journal of Psychohistory, we have provided extensive evidence that the history of childhood has been a nightmare from which we have only recently begun to awaken. The further back in history one goes--and the further away from the West one gets--the more massive the neglect and cruelty one finds and the more likely children are to have been killed, rejected, beaten, terrorized and sexually abused by their caretakers.

Indeed, my conclusion from a lifetime of psychohistorical study of childhood and society is that the history of humanity is founded upon the abuse of children. Just as family therapists today find that child abuse often functions to hold families together as a way of solving their emotional problems, so, too, the routine assault of children has been society's most effective way of maintaining its collective emotional homeostasis. Most historical families once practiced infanticide, erotic beating and incest. Most states sacrificed and mutilated their children to relieve the guilt of adults. Even today, we continue to arrange the daily killing, maiming, molestation and starvation of children through our social, military and economic activities. I would like to summarize here some of the evidence I have found as to why child abuse has been humanity's most powerful and most successful ritual, why it has been the cause of war and social violence, and why the eradication of child abuse and neglect is the most important social task we face today.

Never forget how they used 9/11

Freedom is not a gray area


The definition of freedom is simply the absence of physical coercion
You can suck and fuck anyone you want, as long as their cool with it.
Freedom is an absolute, either you have it or you don't...and if you exist in any country in the world, you don't have it.
