CPAC - An Event to Support Racism. Here's the proof:

With white pro-Republican rappers throwing around the N word and white nationalists invited to speak, it's obvious the GOP has never taken into consideration people of color.

As much as the Committee likes to think Gawker sucks and is centered around sensational bullshit, redeemation occurs when they post such things as above.

Noam Chomsky on why American libertarianism means the advocacy of extreme tyranny

“The US stance on libertarianism is quite different. It means extreme advocacy of total tyranny, and private unaccountable tyranny is worse than state tyranny because the public has some control over state tyranny.  The corporate system, as it has evolved in the twentieth century, is pure tyranny, completely unaccountable.  You are inside one of these institutions and you take orders from above and hand it down below [this is hierarchy].”

David Foster Wallace and what a liberal arts education means in our age of multicultural corporate totalatarianism

In 2005, David Foster Wallace gave the commencement speech at Kenyon College.


In the beginning, DFW tells the graduates the standard commencement speeches given by individuals who attempt to show the value of a liberal arts education is not a passé attempt to justify four years of paying college tuition, but something deeper than what appears on the surface, something about how to choose how you construct meaning from experience.


Twenty years after my own graduation, I have come gradually to understand that the liberal arts cliché about teaching you how to think is actually shorthand for a much deeper, more serious idea: learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience. Because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed.


To most critical observers, higher education in America is in a pretty bad place at the moment. Tuition at state universities continues to raise while programs in the arts and humanities suffer a fate that resembles death due to being underfunded. For-profit schools like the University of Phoenix have made astronomical profits through exploitation by marketing their vocational-based educational programs to society's least educated. The fraud of for-profit colleges starts with grandiose promises of employment in profitable and emerging industries after graduation. The television commercials for these schools feature bright eyed people of all races, genders, and ages who want to get on the fastback and move ahead with a promising career. The worst part is whether or not a student at these diploma mills graduates they are still stuck with paying back student huge loans, meaning your federal tax dollars are subsidizing the profits of the University of Phoenix every time it snatches either a Pell Grant or Federal Direct Loan from a single mother with a GED and three kids to support who is tired of being poor or some stupid schmuck who thought his 40,000 dollar associates degree in computer networking would make him a millionaire. And as long as employment continues to be a dismal prospect, the education ponzi scheme committed by these for-profit education S&P 500 companies like the Apollo Group, who own the University of Phoenix will continue to flourish. The narrative that continues to be replayed involves a depressed economy that has no bearing on the record profits made by the elites who run the biggest banks and own the companies that outsourced American jobs overseas, in the process threatening the cultural life and environment that is not our own. Our system is totalatarian in nature because resistance to what is unjust is met with acts of violence and police brutality. Take the Occupy Wall Street protests across the country as evidence of this repression of democracy.


There is no clear correlation between a doomed economy created by malfaseance and the points DFW makes in his commencement speech about the purpose of a liberal arts education, however, if the liberal arts tradition DFW rightly defends is replaced by a curriculum whose aim is to find employment in an already rotten industry, where class discussions about what it means to be a human being are phased out to make room for business classes, with business ethics only offered on Friday nights, our culture is one railroad stop away from Shithead City, a place where Michelle Bachman is the mayor and Bernie Madoff does your taxes.


Education, formal or informal, is what allows to the social change caused by popular indignation that stemmed from just actions to happen. This is always a rare occurrence. As Noam Chomsky pointed out once, "education is a period of regimentation and control, part of which involves direct indoctrination, providing a system of false beliefs." And this has been largely true ever since the industrial revolution in some capacity. The huge increase of high stake standardized testing in elementary and secondary schools and the noticeable presence of for-profit colleges that advertise in the middle of the work selling the idea that a better life is possible when you get certification in some vocation that you took tens of thousands of dollars in loans to cover tuition should not be a shocking surprise. If education is to be a means of social control, social marginalization, and cherry picking future middle-managers, accountants, and other white-collar cogs that carry out a corporate agendas, the traditional universities, funded by both public and private endowments, has a role to play when making sure the economic system continues to benefit the wealthy corporate elite by providing a place where in between learning some kind of academic discipline that you may or may not base a career, you take can do keg stands and take plenty of bong hits to sow a few wild oats as the cliche goes, because real soon you may be part of the professional or managerial class, no longer concerned about what you think, how you think, and how you construct meaning. 


And at this point, after you've graduated from a four college or even stayed around an extra year or two to get a masters degree, after you took all those cool classes about Greek philosophy and the history of Asia and take bong hits with your buddies as you played Xbox, what DFW said during his commencement speech at Kenyon College is more relevant now than before. 

In whatever position you have as a college educated professional, there may come a time when you have a moment to reflect about the world and how it works, not a conservation about politics with a co-worker about why or why not you're going to vote for Obama this coming November, nor is the conversation of about the economy and how it can get better...No, this moment of reflection goes beyond ideology and has a universal face of human suffering, leading you to think for just a few more moments you live and breathe not with autonomy but by the pulse of something so rotten, so pervasive and controlling, that the only ones who deserve your respect are those who actively oppose the stink and stand up for the interests of those who cannot. Your education has brought you to this fleeting moment, similar to the moment when the prisoner leaves Plato's cave and experiences the clarity of reality where truth is not political but an expression of human nature and its relation to the earth. 

Since this moment is fleeting, your professional responsibilities quickly, much like before, is what consumes. You're the one-dimensional man Marcuse talked about. 

If those people, the ones running the banks and major companies, the ones the Occupy Wall Street protesters stand in opposition to and the ones through a few degrees of separation you work for had actually stuck to the principals that were a part of their fancy elite university provided liberal arts education, our next stop on this train journey might not be Shithead City.

The Dead Kennedys "Kill the Poor" reaches Number One on the Tea Party Pop Singles Chart

Whitesville, Indiana - Having already reached success as a number one single in Czechoslovakia back in 1981, "Kill the Poor" by the Dead Kennedys has taken on a second wind as it reached that magic number one spot this week on the Tea Party Pop Singles chart and has given the people of this small community in the Midwestern heartland a sense of hope and vision. Having once sustained on the light manufacturing and nearby farming that has been replaced by the results of the free market, evident by the franchise restaurants and the chain stores such as Best Buy and Home Depot that line up on the town's main commercial thorough-fare, things have changed in Whitesville since the days of Elvis Presley. However, the unexpected explosion of the song "Kill the Poor" as it blasts from pickup trucks owned and driven by contractors who hire Mexicans for day labor jobs. It also plays a reduced volume at Bell's dinette, the last remaining independently owned eatery in town where you can get a burger and a Budweiser has rejuvenated the spirit of the town.

One person who has seen this rejuvenation first hand is Whitesville Mayor Herb Scott.

"I have never seen any community motivated by a rock and roll song to get patriotic and get back to the old fashioned way of doing things where people took pride in their work and kids were taught the value of a dollar. A lot has changed since I was a boy growing up here. The shoe factory and the bottling plant that employed most of the town for decades is gone, but we have Wal-Mart and Best Buy now. Things don't change for the better all the time, but the change here in Whitesville isn't so bad. As as I said to the kid behind the counter at Burger King the other day when having lunch, no matter how much things change, you always have to be willing to work and do what's right. And that's the message I've witnessed the "Kill the Poor" song have on this community. It's no longer time to be lazy. With the poor gone, it will be time to capture the American spirit that's in our blood. We can finally live up to our potential as Americans now that all the undesirables are gone. My hat goes off to Jello Biafra and the Dead Kennedys for helping spread such a vision"

While it might be surprising to see a song which topped the charts in a country that was once behind the Iron Curtain, the message of the "Kill the Poor" has genuine relevance to music fans in the Tea Party whose tastes are usually not of the punk rock genre.

Buying the compact disc version of the "Kill the Poor" single for his grandchild at his local Whitesville Wal-Mart instead of downloading it on iTunes because he hates computers and claims he doesn't understand how to use such machines, William Brannon, believes "Kill the Poor" promotes a good message for America's young people. He speaks avidly of lead singer Jello Biafra's vision of a world without the poor.

"I think it's high time that we do something about all these freeloaders those liberals in Washington keep supporting. If we just kill the poor all our problems will be solved. As Jello says, no more welfare tax, the crime rate no more, and all those heathens living in those slums in the cities gone, it will definitely be a new day in America. My family never drove the latest car and dressed in the fanciest clothes, but we worked hard for what had and those virtues of hard work that we followed is why my family and those in our community are separate from the lazy poor, especially those illegal immigrants who collect welfare and get a free education."

The message Brannon is referring come from the explicitness of the lyrics in "Kill the Poor".

The sun beams down on a brand new day/No more welfare tax to pay/Unsightly slums go up in a flashing light/Jobless millions whisked away/At least we have more room to play/All systems go to kill the poor tonight

Tom Stevens, a senior at Whitesville High School and youth minister at his church, has recently become a loyal Dead Kennedys fan and as a result learned how to play guitar. He has recently started his own rock band, The Fuzz. Before he got into the Dead Kennedys, with the exception of his favorite bands Korn and Metallica, Stevens listened to just rap music. Hearing the Dead Kennedys for Stevens had become a defining moment of his youth. As Stevens waxes poetically, it is clear he is a passionate young adult who wants to clean up his country.

"Before the Dead Kennedys, I had no desire to start a band, become famous, and be a true patriot. My band has really been inspired the message of the Dead Kennedys. I never listen to rap anymore. It came to a point where I got sick of these city gangsters talking about shooting rival drug dealers and how much they loved their bling and big booty hoes. I asked myself who am I fooling? I live in Whitesville, Indiana. There's no big booty hoes here and all the drug dealers sell meth. They don't make crack dealer money. They just put everybody around them in danger with their meth labs. All the people who buy their drugs are poor and have been a real eye sore on my community for far too long. The meth dealers here are just like the enabling liberals in office who just want to give these scum more foodstamps and health care. And all those Meth listen to Lil Wayne, Tupac, and Biggie. So I ask what kind of message is this hip hop sending to me and me friends. It's time we ditch the rap crap, stop wearing oversized plain t-shirts that come down to our knees and our hats backwards so we can become the kinds of real Americans that our grandparents would be proud of. Next year I'm going way to college to play football. I also plan to join the Reserves. I have to be a leader on and off the football field and one day maybe on the battlefield. I can't do that if people think I'm some white hip hop gangster acting black. When I started listening to the Dead Kennedys, I realized I needed to start being a real American. And as a matter of fact, me and my bandmates use our music to get out the message that America is the greatest country in the world and if you'd rather sit at home collect welfare, keep having kids while you drink 40s and smoke crack all day, then you're gonna shall I say face the music or be killed. I believe in the message that it's time for all these welfare cheats all around America to start acting like the real patriotic Americans our grandparents were and still are today."

As quick as "Kill the Poor" has climbed up the Tea Party charts, the Dead Kennedy's music has definitely experienced a revival even amongst traditional conservative politicians. On the presidential campaign trail in Des Moine, speaking at a rally sponsored by the local Tea Party chapter, Newt Gingrich walked out to the podium to address two thousand people while the Dead Kennedy's "Holiday in Cambodia" blasted through the PA.

Without question, the appeal of the Dead Kennedy's have had on the Tea Party and the conservative ideals it holds is indicative that the purging of the poor throughout the country will be done with good old fashion American rock and roll as the soundtrack. Ted Nugent's vision is finally coming to fruition.

From S. Korea with love: Warm socks sent to North by balloon Each pair could be traded for a month's supply of food, activists say

It's 2012 and South Koreans are sending warm socks inside balloons to North Korea? Is this a joke?

During the Cold War, there was Radio Free Europe to spread the word about the evils of totalitarian dictatorship of communist regimes, maximizing technology to the fullest with radio signals. Now, South Korea is not a country of neophytes. Those precious high def Samsung or LG TVs you stare at when walking through BestBuy are made by South Korean companies. Your friend swears the new Hyundai car he recently bought is just as good as a Honda is made in Korea. Apparently South Korean aerospace research is pretty up to par as well.

So why Balloons? It must be a symbolic gesture and sometimes symbolism is what springs humanitarian deeds.

This guy must be in cahoots with Gingrich - South African doctor accused of creating viruses that would only attack black people.

The BBC has reported on 27 January 2012  South African doctor, Wouter Basson's application to drop charges of unprofessional misconduct due to  producing illegal drugs during the apartheid era and creating viruses that would only kill black people has been rejected.

Now if a doctor prescribes oxycontin to a kid in college who just wants to get high, that's professional misconduct. In the enlightened world, a world that any decent person wants to live, creating viruses that would only kill black people would be called genocide.

Yet, nobody should be surprised by this: we're talking SOUTH AFRICA!

Compared to Gingrich's racist desire to have black kids work as janitors because it builds the character needed to assimilate into the great white world, Basson is the late 20th century version of Josef Mengele.
