It’s worth repeating and reminding your friends and relatives that capitalism is the only economic system that respects individual rights. All alternatives to capitalism instill some form of master-slave relationship in which (to paraphrase Ayn Rand) people deal with one another by blood, whips and guns instead of voluntary free trade (dollars).

It’s worth repeating because the socialist are launching another volley in the quest to enslave humanity by trying to convince people to reject money, and instead embrace new socialist dictators who will force people to carry out their socialist whims. This volley is in the form of another Michael Moore regurgitation that blames the current recession not on the governments’ restrictive anti-capitalist policies, but on capitalism itself.

With the recent historic examples of the squalor and death-tolls of the Soviet Union and China, it’s amazing that the likes of Michael Moore are not condemned for the poison they vomit. It’s hypocritical that they have not already moved to a more “moral” country where more of their wealth is stolen away by some other special interest group, union or dictator. I suppose that the fuzzy-thinking products of teachers’ union education are ripe to accept these schemes in spite of all evidence.

If people want prosperity and wealth to share and spread around, people should be telling the governments to leave us alone, not tightening the chains on our freedoms.

The EPA has just declared carbon dioxide a “major hazard to Americans’ health” paving the way for legislators to further penalize and/or prohibit its production. I can hardly believe it’s happening in a free society—humanity is truly in trouble. We now have a government agency declaring the very air that we exhale is hazardous to our own health.

Ideology matters. Hitler believed that Jews were hazardous—in the beginning, he passed laws to censure their activities. Today, environmentalists have humanity in their cross-hairs. All that humans do to thrive, and now even living itself is deemed officially harmful.

I must remind the reader that this is all based on Gore’s “consensus of scientists” (a consensus of government workers seeking more funding) and ignorant hoards ready and willing to (a) forget that the climate has always changed, (b) accept his story on faith, and (c) vote for their own destruction.

The biggest threat to humanity is the environmentalist movement itself.

The AIG bonus compensation issue illustrates why governments and politicians must stay away from the private sector.

Instead of allowing AIG to enter bankruptcy (thus allowing their “frozen assets” to be used by other more competent companies), US government politicians chose to steal unprecedented billions from US citizens and hand it over to AIG and other failing companies. These politicians stated that AIG and other bail-out recipients would be expected to stay afloat and eventually repay the government-stolen money. The very fact that these companies were failing should have been enough evidence that they have been fundamentally flawed and would have no means of recovering (without further government edicts that force people to deal with them).

To add insult to injury, the government is now dictating how these companies should operate. President Obama has no experience in running or managing a successful business—he has never been an entrepreneur or a CEO, and yet he declares that AIG employees must not receive bonuses. He hasn’t a clue about whether bonuses are necessary for employee retention in a thriving financial business.

If these businesses were failing before politicians forked over other people’s money, they are sure to fail with these same politicians acting as corporate managers.

It’s past time for the US government to stop feeding our wealth in to the cesspools of rotting companies (and other socialist schemes) and get out the way so that free-market capitalism can let these companies die while rewarding other companies that are run efficiently and profitably.

This is just a simple reminder that long before humans existed on this planet, the climate has constantly and drastically changed. Since the ascendency of humanity, the climate continues to change just as it did before.

The only difference today is that environmentalists want you to believe that any changes in climate are due to nefarious human activity. The term “climate change” is quickly becoming synonymous with “we need green socialist dictators to put humans in their place.”

Please use your reason. The free world depends on it.

I saw a hard-to-watch video which summarizes the overt motives and behavior of the Islamic fundamentalist movement. While all religions and departures from reason have the potential to bring mass death and destruction to the world, today’s biggest threat comes from Iran and the middle east.

In spite of countless historic examples of slaughtering regimes (Nazis, communism, Japanese Shintoism, etc.), the western governments and the supposed peaceful Muslims are still doing next to nothing to end this hate-group’s growing threat to the civilized world.

To further punctuate the issue, this video is constantly being removed from web sites under direct death threats from Islamic totalitarians. This video should be spread by anyone and everyone who values human freedom, individual rights, and the ability to criticize others without being murdered for one’s words. Or to put it another way, simply ask yourself: What would my life be like if these Muslims get what they want?

Tell your politicians that waiting and wishing only leads to a larger slaughter in the future.

(Note: This video may be removed due to ongoing death threats, so simply search for “Fitna movie” to find a working link.)

Once again, the socialist/slavery element in our society has launched the campaign to force all people to pay for each other’s medical bills.

Since big-government socialism systematically ruined the medical free market decades ago (e.g., Medicare, HMO’s, etc.), these socialists propose more big government administrations to “improve” the situation while extorting from anyone and everyone who creates wealth to pay for it.

These days, the socialists seem to have an easier time in manipulating the public to accept their schemes mainly because of the declining ability of each new generation to use reason and concepts to identify such programs for the disasters they are. People seem less and less likely to think and question, and are willing to accept whatever empty promises politicians use to get elected. They seem to believe that believing is all that is required–and reality be damned.

Socialist keep citing the other western countries that “successfully” employ socialized medicine, but ignore the stark differences between their wealth and the wealth of the US. They pick and choose convenient longevity statistics while ignoring that these socialized systems rely on research and development done by the relatively free US medical companies, where inventing new medicine is rewarded by payment.

They keep citing the large number of “uninsured” people “living in” the US while ignoring why these people choose not to purchase insurance whether it be because existing socialist programs make health insurance unaffordable or these people choose to spend whatever wealth they create on I-Pods, beer, video games, or birthing 5 children.

If socialized medicine is installed in the US, it will certainly be a significant milestone in the decline of western civilization with all its wealth and freedom. The concept of the freethinking and free-acting human that gave rise to unprecedented prosperity in the world since the Renaissance will be further sacrificed to the whims of the mobs and to the looting gangs. One only needs to observe life in Soviet Russia or Communist China to understand what the promises of socialism eventually bring.

Anyone who prefers that future humans be free individuals instead of being chained to the roving hoards (ala Mao, Stalin, Lenin, Hitler) should expose such social programs for the fraudulent pyramid extortion schemes that they are. Humans have a right to be left alone–free from the extortion or force imposed by other humans, not a right to enslave other humans.

I’ve updated the IPCC computer climate model again to portray the ulterior motives of many 3rd world dictators in championing anthropogenic global warming (AGW): they have realized early on that AGW translates in to guilt-payouts to them from any country’s leaders that creates wealth (e.g., the USA). They blame the US for using up all the carbon credits and demand payment in lieu of creating wealth (or allowing the citizens to be free to create and trade wealth).

The purpose of a war is to attain victory—to eliminate the enemy’s capacity to do harm and/or eliminate the enemy altogether. The military activity that George W. Bush has ordered is not a war, yet the media keeps using the phrase “War in Iraq” or “Iraq War.”

Currently, the US military in Iraq is serving as cannon fodder for people who have no conception of individual rights. The Iraqi version of democracy would include voting for the enslavement of the opposing tribe/party, and for the death of all non-Muslims infidels. While the US military is bogged down in an endless pipe-dream mission in Iraq, the higher-level criminals in Iran are allowed to continue to build military might for a true nuclear holocaust. This is no war.

Since the 9/11 attacks, the US military has flailed about not in a campaign to eliminate Islamic theocracy in the world, but to at least “do something” in response to foreign attack. Instead of engaging in politically correct “operations” while telling those in the free world to remove the liquids from their baggage, the US should use its superior military to remove the world’s theocratic governments from existence (much like the full surrender of Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany in World War II). That, and only that, would be a war worthy of winning.

This week, as the media focuses on immigration, the Iraq fiasco, affirmative action, the miscellaneous murder and/or fire, and the 2008 presidential candidates, Iran still continues to develop doomsday nuclear weapons with no meaningful opposition from the west.

Apparently, it will require more than the murder of thousands of New Yorkers to prod the US leaders and public to take action. Unfortunately, in today’s altruist and PC culture, an entire US city will have to be sacrificed with a body count over 50,000 before the war on terror is taken seriously—before totalitarian theocracies like Iran are treated like the murderous thugs they are and are no longer tolerated. Waiting for Iran to go nuclear before dismantling their religious government will be far more destructive on all sides.

Now that Britain has conducted back-room deals to get their abducted sailors back (with help of the US), the dictators of the world know more than ever that challenging the west is easy and profitable. Be sure to expect more extortion schemes from all over the world in the coming years.

Iran is NOT a peace-loving nation. It is the hornet’s nest of radical Islam, which seeks to eliminate Israel and impose Islamic fascism on the world, by force and murder. For evidence of this, just observe the statements from their leaders and mullahs. They have state censorship, so the people in Iran are told lies and are being conditioned to carry out these doomsday goals.

The west must NOT appease this behavior; allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons is simply suicide.
