libertarianism is closer to Stalinism than you think
Tidewater
Libertarian Party Neo-Marxist?
Read and determine for yourself .
If Looks like a duck, Quacks like a duck,
walks like a duck, flies like a duck, swims
like a duck its a Duck.
Neo-Marxist?
Whatever
else happens, 2016 offers one of the most interesting presidential elections in
decades. It already includes a libertarian from Kentucky, Senator Rand Paul, and
a socialist from Vermont, Senator Bernie Sanders. Americans, polling has shown,
dislike socialism. Let Paul have any success, and they may like libertarianism
even less.
For
many American voters, libertarianism now has a certain freshness because it
seems to cross the otherwise impregnable line between right and left. Sharply
reducing the role of government in American life, libertarianism’s primary
objective, appeals to conservatives because it offers an end to Obamacare,
Social Security and other programs that transfer public money to the less
well-off. Yet it also attracts liberal voters who ardently oppose invasions of
privacy and bloated defense spending.
Paul’s
appeal doesn’t stop there, however. He understands that the GOP base is
getting older and whiter — which bodes badly for the party’s future. He is
reaching out to minorities. By attacking his party’s attempts to restrict the
vote, Paul could attract many African-American and Latino voters. He has also
appealed to younger voters by calling for less restrictive drug laws, for
example, and speaking at college campuses, where older Republicans have been
loathe to appear. Paul is, in many ways, the Republican Barack Obama.

Rand in 1957. WIKIPEDIA/Commons
But
do not be fooled. Libertarianism has a complicated history, and it is by and
large a sordid one. Its leading 20th-century theorist was the
novelist Ayn Rand, who, for all her talk of freedom, was an authoritarian at
heart. She was intolerant of dissent and conspiratorial to a fault.
Libertarians elected to public office on the basis of her ideas, including
former Republican Representative Ron Paul, Rand Paul’s father, have adhered to
such radical positions as abolishing the Federal Reserve.
Rand
Paul has somehow moderated the crankier side of the movement that has shaped his
career. Though isolationism is built into libertarianism, Paul has strongly
defended Israel’s actions in the Middle East, which appeals to Republican
neo-conservatives. At the other end of the political spectrum, he drew in both
libertarians and the left with his 10-hour filibuster protesting the National
Security Agency’s domestic surveillance of Americans.
Politicians
often change positions based on what voters and donors demand. But Paul’s
efforts to appeal to different audiences represent something more than political
pandering. Libertarianism is not like other sets of ideas, and Paul’s
maneuvering is not quite business as usual.
For
libertarianism is among the most rigid of modern ideologies. The theorists who
formulated its core principles were seekers after political purity. They created
an ideal world designed to work perfectly — but only if human beings acted
consistently. Society, to them, was like a Swiss watch: Let every part play its
designed role, and the whole thing would run on its own accord.
Libertarianism
in that sense is not merely an economic doctrine or a political worldview. It
proposed, as Ayn Rand realized, a secular substitute for religion, complete with
its own conception of the city of God, a utopia of pure laissez-faire and the
city of man, a place where envy and short-sightedness hinder creative geniuses
from carrying out their visions. If there was anything its founders hated more
than governmental authority, it was religious authority.
Such
a religious-like ideal requires careful scrutiny to ensure that no one breaks
the rules or, in religious terms, commits a sin. Individuals are free to act in
their self-interest — indeed, are required to — but if they grow lazy or are
swayed by emotions or altruism, society’s best achievements will come crashing
down around them.

Libertarianism,
in short, resonates with an avid quest for political purity. The ideas of both
conservatives and liberals are flexible enough to give way, at least on
occasion. Obama, for example, regularly advocates compromise in principle, and
conservatives, who do not, nonetheless fight frequently with each other. Those
associated with libertarianism have no such room to maneuver; those who disagree
are treated like apostates.
Yet
if libertarianism is principled, it is also an impracticable set of ideas.
Republicans who want to increase the defense budget can, and do, get results.
Democrats who sought national health insurance finally realized their objective
after decades of trying. But how, exactly, does one get government
“interference” out of business when business wants it there most of the
time? Is a libertarian foreign policy even imaginable, let alone workable? Truly
principled libertarians believe that government should refrain from telling
women what to do with their bodies, but should there be no regulation of medical
procedures?
Libertarianism
seems to be a philosophy designed not for governance but for opposition. It is
loud and powerful when saying “no,” but often impotent and speechless when
required to say “yes.”
Match
the idealism of libertarianism with its impracticality, and it is no wonder that
Paul’s campaign may wander from one extreme to another.
Paul,
for one thing, has a major problem with his friends. Pure libertarians, like
those devoted to his father, watch his every move, suspicious that he will
sacrifice their zeal in favor of wider appeal. To keep them pleased, Paul must
from time to time speak directly to their fears. His effort to hold up a Senate
vote on extending the NSA’s authority to collect Americans’ telephone
records served that need well. Taking a page from Jimmy Stewart inMr.
Smith Goes to Washington, Paul knows the symbolic value of seeming to stand
alone to stand for his people.
The
effect, by early accounts, was electric; Paul was fulfilling his destiny as the
successor to his dad. The trouble is that not all votes are symbolic and, for
that reason, relatively easy to cast. Let there be a vote on something
substantive, especially where budget deficits are involved, and Paul is likely
to disappoint true believers.

caucus meeting at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, October 16, 2013.

Paul
has an even greater problem with his enemies. It is not that difficult to be a
Republican member of Congress from a conservative district in Texas and be a
faithful libertarian. Ron Paul proved that. It is harder to be a libertarian as
a senator representing an entire state — even a conservative one like
Kentucky. Yet Rand Paul has managed to pull that off.
But
to have a chance for the presidency and remain faithful to libertarian
principles is a far more difficult — if not impossible — task.
It
is here where the impracticality of libertarian ideas will torment the Paul
campaign. For Paul to stand with Israel is to issue a direct slap to the
isolationism of his father’s passionate supporters. Nor is pandering to the
neo-con hawks likely to satisfy. Strong support for Israel exists in both
parties, and no matter how hard Paul expresses his solidarity with that country,
he can never hope to compete with a national-security consensus that he has so
often challenged.
Paul’s
problems at the national level are exacerbated because however inspiring
libertarian principles may be to the truly committed, they are elitist at their
core. The more 2012 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his vice
presidential choice, Representative Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), sounded like Ayn
Rand’s hero John Galt inAtlas
Shrugged, the more unpopular they became. Contempt can get you attention,
but it is unlikely to attract votes. Presented with a libertarian nominated by a
major party, voters are likely to find him scary if true to his convictions and
weak if he is not.
So
crowded is the race for the Republican nomination that Paul might possibly get
it. The fact that all the other primary candidates will most likely attack him
throughout the debates, could possibly attract sympathy voters. But even if he
were to somehow pull that off, he would, as a presidential nominee, have to be a
traitor either to his father or to his party, the one caring only to make a
point, the other desiring nothing less than winning.
Other
ideologies bend but rarely break. A libertarian nominated by a major party is
more likely to break than bend. The good news is that if Paul were to win the
Republican nomination, libertarianism’s unfitness for the modern world would
be revealed for all to see. The bad news is that the poison of its extremism
would enter into the body politic, perhaps never to be fully ejected.

Jihad Kayla / Spreading her legs for her moslem lovers
Jihad Kayla
Spreading her legs for her moslem lovers
Her German anti-Jew pro moslem stand, just like the Hitler youth groups of
years past live in her soul.
Who
Was Kayla Mueller?
A look at the writings of the ISIS victim shows her support and aid to
Palestinian Arab terror groups, her acting as a human shield for them, and her
active participation in anti-Israel protests. Rachel Corrie did the same.
Sadly,
[not so much ~ she has now become a good jihadist] she was allegedly killed by the Jordanian air raid attacks according to ISIS who
held her hostage, although the United States says there is no evidence to
that effect. The truth of how Kayla Mueller, 26, died may never be discerned.
However, despite the sadness at her needless death, the myth that she was
wonderful altruistic young woman should be exposed. This is another Rachel
Corrie propaganda story in the making, and the western media is falling for it
again, or embracing it on purpose.
Kayla
Mueller was a member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM)
who spent at least two years working with that terrorist support group. She was
involved in demonstrations against the Jews in Sheikh Jarrah (part of East
Jerusalem) after a 20 year long court decision recognized the Jews' legal
rights tohomesthey
were chased from in earlier wars launched by the Arabs. She also participated in
demonstrations to interfere with the IDF demolishing thehomesof
terrorists and suicide bombers after the courts okayed the demolitions.
Just
as with Rachel Corrie, the press tries to paint Kayla as a selfless volunteer
helping poor Arab refugees. She may have helped injured Arabs in
"refugee" camps, but she was working to support the goals of
Palestinian irredentists and to interfere with the IDF on behalf of terrorist
groups.
As
an ISM activist she was a tool for the worldwide jihad.
A
lettershe wrote which
appears on the ISM’s website describes the usual ISM claims of atrocities that
never occurred, but were fabrications worthy of Pallywood.
First,
she lived and rioted with other ISM activists with an Arab family that refused
to vacate ahomethey
were squatting in after a legal case that took 20 years established it was
stolen from the Jewish owners.
She
wrote propaganda letters for the ISM website:
“Just
the next year in 2009 Ashraf’s brother, Bassem Abu Rahma, was participating in
the demonstration and was attempting to communicate with the IDF soldiers
telling them to stop shooting the steel-coated rubber bullets as an Israeli
activist had been shot in the leg and needed medical attention. Not soon after
an Israeli soldier illegally used a tear gas canister as a bullet hitting Bassem
inthe
chest, stopping his heart and killing him instantly,” she wrote.
Of
course, the Arab propaganda ragAl
Jazeeratold the story that
way. This really occurred during one of the weekly riots in Bi’ilin in the
WestBankwhere
the Arabs demonstrate “nonviolently” by throwing rocks at the IDF soldiers
as well as incendiaries. Kayla was there with the ISM to participate. Kayla
admitted to being present at the weekly riots.
She
was also a human shield in support of terrorists. She wrote:
“I
could tell a few stories about sleeping in front of half demolished buildings
waiting for the one night when the bulldozers come to finish them off; fearing
sleep because you don’t know what could wake you. . . . I could tell a few
stories about walking childrenhomefrom
school because settlers next door are keen to throw stones, threaten and curse
at them. Seeing the honest fear in young boys eyeswhenheavily
armed settlers arise from the outpost; pure fear, frozen from further steps, lip
trembling.”
Most
Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria are religious Jews. Many are
professionals who wish to lead quiet family lives. They do not generally engage
in violence, except for an aberrant few who sometimes engage in non-life
threatening vandalism and are severely castigated by the rest. The ISM hit
on a strategy of accusing the Jews in the 'WestBank'
of what the Arabs do continually to Jews: throw stones, attack school
children, destroy produce etc.
Another
ISM strategy is to try and disable Israeli security tactics. One of the newer
ones is to try and suggest that when the IDF uses tear gas toavoidlethality
in controlling weekly Arab rioters, the gas is really deadly and must be stopped
altogether. The real reason for this inversion about tear gas is the
Palestinians and their ISM lackeys hope they can make it impossible for the IDF
to control the weekly riots such as in Bi’ilin, riots Kayla was a part
Freedom? For whom? Another Arab dictatorship. Arabs who are Israeli citizens are
free, but Kayla wanted the "free" Palestinian-state-to-be from
the “river to the sea” as a good ISM activist. of.
“The
smell and taste of tear gas has lodged itself in the pores of my throat and the
skin around my nose, mouth and eyes,” she wrote. “It still burns when I
close them. It still hangs in the air like invisible fireburning
theoxygen I breathe.
When I cry tears for this land, my eyes still sting. This land that is beautiful
as the poetry of the mystics. This land with the people who’s (sic) hearts are
more expansive than any wall that any man could ever build. Yes, the wall will
fall. The nature of impermanence is our greatest ally and soon the rules will
change, the tide will turn and just as the moon waxes and wanes over this land
so too the cycles of life here will continue. One day the cycle will once again
return to freedom.”
Freedom?
For whom? Another Arab dictatorship. Arabs who are Israeli citizens are free,
but Kayla wanted the "free" Palestinian-state-to-be from the “river
to the sea” as a good ISM activist. Her writings suggest the classical thought
processes of pampered American student “radicals” and “revolutionaries”
who can’t get enough of supporting dictatorships and terrorists overseas as
liberation movements, the complete opposite of what they are.
“Oppression
greets us from all angles”, she wrote. “Oppression wails from the soldiers
radio and floats through tear gas clouds in the air. Oppression explodes with
every sound bomb and sinks deeper into the heart of the mother who has lost her
son. But resistance is nestled in the cracksin
the wall, resistance flows from the minaret 5 times a day and resistance
sits quietly in jail knowing its time will come again. Resistance lives in the
grieving mother’s wails and resistance lives in the anger at the lies
broadcasted across the globe. Though it is sometimes hard to see and even harder
sometimes to harbor, resistance lives. Do not be fooled, resistance lives,”
Kayla concluded in her letter.
This
certainly doesn’t sound like a tireless “aid worker”. Instead, it connotes
a supporter of Palestinian Arab terrorist groups. Her praise of the muezzin
calls and “resistance” suggests she’s on the side of the worldwide jihad,
not viewing all human beings, even Jews, as having the same rights.
Kayla
Meuller made it clear she was involved in the weekly riots in Bi’ilin. She
wrote of Arabs who died at the hands of the IDF, due to non lethal tear gas
usage as if that resulted in several members of the same family who she roomed
with dying. Rachel Corrie did the same thing, creating a story for the ISM of
protecting an Arab family from IDF bulldozers. One family daughter Kayla guested
with died in her ownhome, not
at a demonstration. The fact was the woman was very ill, with leukemia and other
internal infections. As in good ISM tactics, her corpse then became another
propaganda tool. But like any good ISM activist, Kayla Mueller didn’t let this
stand in the way of her propaganda letterhome:
“And
now just today, the daughter of the Rahmah family, Jawaher, has been asphyxiated
from tear gas inhalation. Jawaher was not even participating in the weekly
demonstration but was in herhome
approximately 500 meters away from where the tear gas canisters were being fired
(by wind the tear gas reaches the village and even the nearby illegal settlement
often). There is currently little information as to how she suffocated but the
doctor that attended her said a mixture of the tear gas from the IDF soldiers
and phosphorus poisoned her lungs causing asphyxiation, the stopping of the
heart and death this afternoon after fighting for her life last night in the
hospital. The following is a clip from today showing hundreds of Palestinians,
Israelis and international activist carrying her body to her families (sic)homewhere
they said their final goodbyes.”
The
IDF doesn’t use phosphorous in the West Bank. The ISM always claims it does.
It’s good for propaganda.
“This
family has a tragic story, but it is the story of life in Palestine. Thank you
for reading. Ask me questions and ask yourself questions but most importantly,
question the answers. Forever in solidarity, Kayla”, she concluded.
Kayla
Mueller came from Prescott, Arizona where she once volunteered at a women’s
shelter. Instead of continuing to help those who needed it in America, she chose
to take the ISM’s revolutionary path and to embrace part of the worldwide
jihad and she died for it, tragically. But she was no true altruist. She
sought “freedom” working to support fascist groups that provide just the
opposite for their people and she paid the ultimate price for that choice.

Kayla Muller / Jihadist
New Page 1
Kayla
Mueller exposed: 'Martyr' was propagandist for Gaza Islamists
Play
BuzzFeed News spoke with the President on the death of Kayla Mueller.
on.aol.com
Students at
Northern Arizona University are planning to hold anon-campus
memorial on Saturdayfor
the American woman who was allegedly held hostage by the Islamic State of
Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and was killed either by bombs dropped on ISIS by
Jordan's air force of by her captors. While the American news media have
portrayed the activist as a sainted humanitarian, reports indicate that
Kayla was not only a supporter of the jihadists but she also worked as a
propaganda-peddler for the International Solidarity Movement, an
anti-Israeli and anti-American organization that supports Islamists in
Gaza, according to a reliable source, Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D., CEO ofSentinel
Intelligence Service, LLC.
Courtesy of Meir Amit Information Center of Israel
Although the U.S.
news media have chosen to treat the story of Kayla's death as a solemn
episode, intelligence sources and Middle Eastern news media paint a
picture diametrically opposed to the fawning coverage afforded Mueller.
For starters Kayla was a "useful idiot" for the jihadist
organizations whose members know how to craft an effective propaganda
program that would have been praised by the likes of Stalin, Mao and
Hitler.
Rapacki informed
the Examiner that not only was Kayla Mueller a member of theInternational
Solidarity Movement(ISM)
and spent at least two years working with that recognized terrorist
support group, she allegedly was involved in demonstrations against the
Jews in East Jerusalem. After graduating from college in 2009, she first
went to northern India and then she traveled to the Palestinian
territories and Israel to assist humanitarian groups, her family told
reporters and Obama administration officials. Following her activism and
propaganda campaign against Israel -- which included accusing Israeli
police and soldiers of using substances they didn't even possess -- she
decided to go Syria to help people, especially children.
"Syrians are
dying by the thousands and they're fighting just to talk about the rights
we have," the humanitarian worker toldThe
Daily Courier, her hometown newspaper in Prescott, Arizona. "For
as long as I live, I will not let this suffering be normal."
Sadly, she was
allegedly killed by the Jordanian air raid attacks according to ISIS who
held her hostage, although the United States says there is no evidence
substantiate that claim. "One cannot help but feel sadness over her
death, but Americans should not be shielded from the probability that she
wasn't a sainted humanitarian. Her true and full story be exposed,"
said former counterterrorism unit police officer, Iris Aquino.
Just as in the
case ofRachel
Corrie, a woman killed in Gaza 12 years ago during a Palestinian riot
when a bulldozer accidentally ran her over, which her supporters claim was
not accident, the Islamists and the U.S. media have all but canonized
Corrie. The denizens of U.S. newsrooms have been portraying her as a
selfless volunteer helping poor Arab refugees.
U.S. news media
and Kayla's supporters, including the Obama administration, may portray
her as a modern day Florence Nightingale, there is a preponderance of
evidence that while she might have offered first aid to injured Arabs in
"refugee" camps, her real focus was to support the Palestinian
terrorists in achieving their goals and to hamper members of the IDF on
behalf of terrorist groups.

Lipscomb: MODERN GREECE IN A NUTSHELL:
MODERN
GREECE IN A NUTSHELL:
In
447 BC construction on the Parthenon began and this artistic and architectural
masterpiece was completed in 8 years, in spite of the fact that the marble for
its construction had to be quarried and dragged 10 miles from a mountain range
to the East and then up the steep slope of the Acropolis.
Since
1945, the ruins of the Parthenon has been shrouded in one scaffolding and
reconstruction plan after another while the Acropolis around it remains strewn
with bits and pieces of it like a jig saw puzzle. But they never seem to get put
together and have lain there for the last 70 years, despite constant
reconstruction "workers" lounging all around it and government press
releases about their progress.
Meanwhile
Greece whines at the British Museum which saved key parts of the frieze for two
centuries, because Greece wants to "preserve it."
Does
anyone REALLY want to work with these people?
So says
Thomas Lipscomb

Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson Outside The Box
Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson
Outside the Box: Give me Solutions!
OP-ED
Gary Yannone
Gary is an author, teacher and veteran.
Lines from a John Lennon song echoed in my head as I watched
and heard all the talking heads addressing Domestic violence.
"People asking questions lost in confusion,
Well I tell them there’s no problem,
Only solutions," John Lennon, ‘Watching the Wheels.’
Much of the banter is concerned with the NFL Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson
stories.
It appears everyone has an opinion (including myself) on the issues. And all
of this news coming on the heels of the violence and death in Ferguson,
Missouri. Passionate statements and opinions abound. This debate and dialogue
has spanned all the way from the White House to our college campuses. And at
times people have been held accountable for so-called insensitive remarks and
lost their jobs.
But, are there any solutions that would practically work and be accepted
across the spectrum of ideology? I think so. Most people would agree that by
seeing the Ray Rice video and the pictures from the Adrian Peterson case, the
adage of a picture is worth a thousand words as very accurate. I think most
people would also agree that if the policeman in Missouri who shot and killed
the civilian would have had a video camera on his person recording the incident,
it would have been helpful too. Technology leading the way for a more just world
so to speak.
I think the first step is to make a list of all the people that must be
required to wear a video camera 24/7. It would seem to defeat the purpose just
to be wearing it at work or for a situation thought to be potential trouble. So,
here is an attempt at a list and hopefully better the world.
1. All law enforcement entities should be on the list. Policeman, sheriffs,
FBI, Homeland Security, Secret Service, etc. That includes all sexes, races, and
colors.
2. Of course one of the reasons for including all law enforcement personnel
is the availability and use of firearms. So, the list should include any gun
owners. That way if it is the gun or if it is the person with the gun that is
the problem, both sides are covered. An extension of that is anyone with a
criminal record must have a video camera attached to them 24/7. This is no place
to judge the severity of crimes, so that means any criminal record. Traffic
tickets included.
3. Next up for inclusion would be all veterans. Not just because these are
our warriors trained to kill, but as is public knowledge now many of them suffer
from PTSD. Some diagnosed, some not. So blanket coverage is best suited.
4. Another group that should be required for 24/7 surveillance is all
students. To play it safe, the requirement should be at least down to the
preschool level.
5. All people that have been divorced must be included. The reasons are
obvious.
6. Anyone with a driver’s license. Thus keeping tabs on all those possible
incidents of people using their vehicle as a weapon.
7. All religious people. I was going to include just Muslims, but that might
be discrimatory.
8. All people that have received any mental health counseling. It is not the
purpose here to question any diagnosis, but to add potential problem groups to
the list.
Well, let me pause here. This is just the beginning of the list. But, here
is a near perfect way to make sure justice is done objectively. And it also has
some side benefits as far as monitoring behavior. I am sure you have heard
rumors concerning some of the Secret Service Agents. Let’s rid ourselves of
the he said she said type of evidence. Let’s view it all on film.
Of course some uniformed people may disagree with this idea and say that this
smacks of the epitome of State control. But, that sudden judgment is blind as
far as the truth. In reality, this solution brings blatant objective evidence to
the scale of justice. You notice, I had not included all NFL Players. But, why
just the NFL? All professional and amateur sports participants should be
required to wear a monitoring device 24/7. Just think how this could have helped
at the OJ trial! Or the Ray Lewis murder trial. Other critics may balk at the
cost. And quite frankly, I had thought we were somewhat economically bankrupt as
a nation. But we must not be, here we go again starting a new war overseas, and
contracting for new spaceships! So everyone get on board, the technology train
is leaving the station. There are no problems, just solutions!
