Kosovo and the Feds

A cold December day in 1850 South Carolina seceded from the Union. Following the secession were multiple acts of aggression by the US Federal Government. When reinforcing Fort Sumter, the federal government began a new chapter in American History; they refused to let several states leave a union which no longer served their interest, including the Palmetto State's.
Following the Fed's antagonism and a battle or two in SC, many southern states also seceded from a government they found to be dangerous and degenerate. War ensued. With over 600,000 deaths, almost 1 million casualties, and unquantifiable fiscal damage to the southern states, the south lost what many consider a second War for Independence.

Kosovo faces similar struggles – though not identical in motivation – to the Antebellum South, they seek autonomy apart from a prejudice government. The US Federal government seems to have a double standard. Though a hypothetical situation, what if California were to secede... or more realistically, Texas once more attempted to leave this unrealized democracy?
Is it probable? Of course not. The federal elite, whom ever they may have been at different times over the last 150 years, have never rescinded authority. The facts are, they would refuse to let them loose of its tentacles so as not to disappointed the special interests who have an undying thirst for power; none of them can comprehend personal freedom or self rule. Once they see a sign of weakness, like in Serbia’s case with Kosovo, they latch on to the dissenting crowd with a lasting grasp, holding tight until self-destruction and finality.

Our government supports the rebellious Kosovo because it is a new nation, which will one day be a puppet of the Western Neo-Con Elite. It is in the interest of interventionist rulers like Daddy Bush and Clinton and G-Dubb, and the next one to keep dissidence and violence afoot wherever they extend an arm of power. There are many arms to this beast, many heads and legs but only one heart: exploited US taxpayers.
Multiple conflicts, like those in the West Bank, Korea, Cuba, and South America would end eventually if the US stops intervening in the affairs of other peoples. After a retrospective observance of 170 years of American international wrongdoings, I guess it would not hurt to remind Americans of the Monroe Doctrine:
In the wars of the European powers, in matters relating to themselves, we have never taken part, nor does it comport with our policy, so to do. It is only when our rights are invaded, or seriously menaced that we resent injuries, or make preparations for our defense.
The miserable reality is the beast will lose power when we, the exploited taxpayers, cannot pay the bills any longer. As we fall, the puppet nations, like South Korea, Iraq, Israel, and now Kosovo, will be able to prosper more than ever because they no longer wear the American interventionist leash. Their success will be the epilogue of our downfall as long as we refuse to remove the ruling class of the US, with their war-mongering, special interest, smoke filled room bullies who pull the strings and push the buttons of American federal policy makers.

Dark Horse of the Apocalypse

Here I am, my second blog entry. What I have to say, I am not sure, I have so much to say but nothing to talk about. I watched I Am Legend the other day; in spite of video-game type CGI, the film was pretty decent. I cannot say it was memorable, as far as an apocalyptic film goes, it rose just above mediocre. Children of Men is far more entertaining, deep, and plot driven. If one were to spend two hours, the latter would be better time spent, especially considering the production quality. Speaking of the apocalypse, the presidential race is heating up quickly. Apparently, Mike Huckabee has something to offer as a presidential candidate. I did not know the GOP is so interested in perpetuating the Bush foreign policy that they are willing to support a pseudo-clone of the current commander-in-chief our nation so dearly admires. Ron Paul receives little-to-no attention from the media compared to other candidates but he has the money and grass roots attention (including a priva...

A New Virtue

There is a pseudo-virtue that I cannot help but see as necessary to make it through a successful workday. I don’t know what to call it except a collective mindset . Many tasks at any job can be done by one person but they are often time consuming and messy. If another person steps in the job runs smoother; we know this ad idiom, "two heads are better than one." The ethic is not complicated but it contradicts a very American sentiment, individualism. Where I work, if one person fails to do something, everyone fails. If one person succeeds, likewise, everyone succeeds. Though not commonly perceived, such is life outside of work. Independent of whether the society adapts the collective mindset , any single individual can have one making society a better place. I cannot consider this pseudo-ethic as a sane dictum of governance, I am a libertarian after all; though it would undoubtedly be pleasantly enculturated if each person took it upon him or herself to look after ea...

My Heart Bleeds

I am not a scientist or philosopher. I have not exhausted the depths of scientific discovery or waded into the philosophical postulations of all the “why”s and “how”s of existence and nature and purpose. Nor am I an artist –not in any traditional sense– but I do have a sense of what is communicated in arte. Even bad arta; an expression of one’s self, being, perception, and experience. One of my favorite artists is Bob Dylan. He confuses me and I have discovered why confusion is admirable. He doesn't communicate an answer or direct interpretation of life; but rather, the confusion we all feel about war and love, beauty and pain. Dylan, in many ways, combined a strange string of sounds and words that give a substantive realization to the pain that nurtures the human heart. Beauty is not found in an evasion of life, but rather an embrace of it. Recently, I had been given a bit more struggle than I cared to accept; but, as I was denied any control over my life and accepted th...
