Willard Mitt Romney's career as a tax dodging, draft dodging, queen of debt creation evidently didn't impress enough members of the electorate. Apparently Romney's prime example of business acumen: putting a poor dog in a cage atop a speeding car and watching him crap over the car's windows didn't impress enough voters either.
The Challenge
An offer of a $1 million prize to Linda McMahon to wrestle Donald Trump in a "Stomp the Trump's Rump" exhibition match. (Maybe NYC Mayor "Elizabeth Warren is a socialist" Bloomberg will put up the prize money?)
The lesson of the very close popular vote?
Un-privatize the national voting process --- centralize it --- and hire the McDonald's Corporation to expedite it --- if they can do fast food, then fast and efficient voting should be a real cinch for them!
Nineteen woman senators? It's a good start . . . . .
And an historical note to what X0563511 said: back in the day, one had go to a Scientologist-ridden place (SRI) to obtain the host address from the IP numbers --- these SRI clowns actually referred to themselves as "physicists" and "scientists" not whackjob scientologists with their weird-assed orgone boxes, or whatever they called those string and tube crap.
Brad Friedman recently noted that the Romney family is at least partial owner (may actually have full ownership given the opaque nature of its ownership) of a voting machine company which may play a crucial role in a number of swing states this presidential election.
The immediate corporate media response was "conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory"!
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was recently questioned about the well-publicized presidential drone kill list, to which she responded, "conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory."
Now, any so-called media talker, or "journalist" (forgive me for trashing that honorific) who can't answer the question, who owns the three major voting machine companies and what portion of the vote will they affect --- is too idiotic for adult discussion, but then their patently robotic reply to everything factual is always the same, "conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory."
Amy Goodman's Democracy Now! news show is probably the closest thing to a valid, daily real news content show in existence in America; she reports on important topical events ignored by the corporate media --- yet sadly even her show goes only so far, addresses reality to only a low level, but no farther.
A recent talk by Noam Chomsky, the embodiment of the quasi-radical, perfectly illustrates this. Chomsky, who enjoyed a very long tenured position at MIT, never would bit the hand that kept him well fed; he would keep all discussion at the political level, never venturing towards the real powers-that-be, always the perfect disinformation specialist!
In 2011, Chomsky gave a series of talks around the country, which might be called his "Wall Street apologist" tour. Well into his mealy-mouthed speech, Chomsky would state that the Wall Street fellows were really good people, the problem was "the system." (This is such obvious dishonest nonsense --- who lobbied and financed the decriminalization of financial fraud, after all?)
This has always been the crux of Chomsky's talks --- it just happened, nobody was really responsible, etc., the perfect Wall Street lackey.
Chomsky has long been a supporter of the Warren Commission's contrived fantasy on the JFK assassination --- just as Chomsky immediately supported the Cheney-Bush 9/11 conspiracy theory, and Chomsky finally made mention of the destructive effects of the offshoring of American jobs in 2011! (2011 ? ? ?)
Chomsky also just loves to slip in revisionistic nonsense about the Kennedy administration --- he just loves his clever revisionism.
Years ago, in the 1980s in Washington, D.C., I attended the typical cheapo, after hours gathering of a bunch of poor, volunteer political activists at the end of a campaign, and one fellow passed around a photo he had taken, just by chance, of Henry Kissinger and two other men at a diner immediately outside a CIA facility in central Virginia.
He was shocked to learn that one of the other two fellows was Noam Chomsky, with the third being Robert Gates; they were attending an intelligence briefing seminar.
Not that long ago, Democracy Now's Amy Goodman interviewed Steve Coll on his latest book on ExxonMobil, yet remarkably never inquired as to the ownership of that oil behemoth. (Nor did any other media personage bother to inquire either.)
Steve Coll is the president of the New America Foundation, a quasi-non-partisan foundation financed in part by the Pew Charitable Trusts (oil money) and Peter G. Peterson (private equity leveraged buyout guy and protégé of oil/banking giant, David Rockefeller).
Peterson has parked his latest, pro-austerity astroturf outfit, Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget ("Fix the debt" is their mantra, which means the 99% must pay off their debts) within the New America Foundation, of course.
Obviously, because many of us realize that a vast number of the people we come in contact with are hopelessly ignorant, stupid and clueless. Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from the presidency???
A private equity thieving leveraged buyout debt queen, actually running for the presidency????
Voters entirely ignorant of President Obama's 100% neocon administration????
Union workers in Wisconsin, where the governor is attempting to end collective bargaining and other evil deeds, cheery former president, Bill Clinton, who stridently helped to end collective bargaining and turn Arkansas into a "right-to-work" state (anti-union, anti-worker) when he was governor?????
"More intelligent..." is highly, highly debatable....
".. life was a whole lot simpler several decades ago.."
No offense, dood, you really need to read your history --- one could far more easily state that life is far more simpler today, but really both statements are purely subjective, and fictional.
Again, JoshuaZ, outstanding and insightful and thoughtful comments. I personally have only (to my limited knowledge) come in contact with several "super geniuses" over the years. One, in third grade, drew and painted pictures of birds and other animals on the level of Audobon, while he brought in a fully functioning portable weather station (same grade level, and this was really before the true advent of digital electronics, far more difficult back then) made from kitchen-type discarded trash --- he maxed the IQ test, so he scored 200, but was it slightly over 200? Or 500, or 1,000?
You are correct, of course, and the researchers over the many years have attempted to standardize such tests to be culture-free IQ tests --- how well they've succeeded is always open to conjecture, but when given world-wide in their research studies, the Eskimo scored the highest (on average, and it's always important to say "on average") and the citizens on another continent, who lived in the least-threatening, most natural-food abundant clime, scored the lowest.
Naturally, one might presume that the Eskimo lives in the most dangerous environment, and thus must eternally be attentive to their surroundings.
Excellent points, JoshuaZ, and you've demonstrated your obviously superior intelligence by expanding the variables examined, something few, very few are ever able to do.
Jane Jacobs, in her book, Dark Age Ahead, neatly dispatches Jared Diamond and his "biogeography" thesis in just several clever sentences.
David Deutsch, the British physicist, on the other hand, completely demolishes Diamond's thesis in two to three pages in interesting and captivating book, Beginning of Infinity.
After reading Diamond's drivel in "Guns,...." I mentioned to a friend he would one day be writing the intros for hedge fund managers' books --- and I've recently noticed I have been proven right.....
An excellent study, run in three parts in the old (and pre-neocon/neolib present influences) Atlantic Monthly, back in the early 1970s, (believe it was by Jensen, but don't recall specifically), indicated that from empirecal data and evidence, the most overwhelmingly likely indicator of economic success in America was the family one was born into.
Excellent points, and to anyone familiar with Gladwell's pathetic Tipping Point and familiar with his "sources" realizes the majority of the studies he used to bolster his writing were invalidated quite some time ago. Gladwell is a hack writer, PERIOD!
Indeed, Good Citizen, one must heartily agree. I suscribe to Jane Jacobs last book, Dark Age Ahead, so many have become sooo ignorant they are clueless to the vacuum of information they are missing --- and their answer to every fact is a resoundingly moronic response of....."Conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory!"
Today, nobody has a clue as to who owns anything, AND everything! Nobody can grasph that a David Rockefeller, worth an estimated $30 billion in 1960, is today ONLY OFFICIALLY worth $2 billion? ? ? ? ? (Please don't look at all those foundations, trusts, offshore trusts, offshore unregistered trusts, and various other types of trusts, land trusts, etc., where the Rockefeller, and du Pont, and Mellon and Koch, and Morgan-Schilling family fortunes are well-hidden and sheltered.)
A typically pinhead politician idiotically spews forth his notion of "responsibility of the rapee" (rapist's victim) and all the sheeple speak of that, as if it was mandated and officially mandatory --- instead of any real and value-laden issues of the present and future.
Few people can do arithmetic today, few still understand fundamental arithmetical relationships and correlations. We are truly screwed.....
We just witnessed a bunch of absolutely thieving, plutocratic soundrels, called corporate CEOs, ring the bell at the NYSE and claiming "we" must do something about their debt they created which accounts for those thieving billions they claim as their own --- that is the epitome of arrogance, of course!
From answering stupid questions and endless troll remarks at/., perhaps???
From observing too many sheeple who are clueless and militantly unaware of the environment they exist in?
For instance, the tediously moronic (and indoctrinated) response to every fact and factoid in America today is...
"Conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory....."
Our politicians answer only to the lobbyist class (some 35,000 to 40,000 operatives) -- so what are the backgrounds of some of those lobbyists?
Profile of a Lobbyist
(A bizarre assassination witness and the corporate consolidation of the U.S. media)
The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has played a pivotal role, along with other individuals and several other organizations since the late 1970s, in the overall consolidation of the media. Recently, they filed a legal action against the FCC in federal court to bar the inclusion of data on political advertisements; such data explaining who and what financed said political adverts.
During the Bush administration, the chief lobbyist at NAB was the son of a senior partner at the conservative law firm, Wiley Rein & Fielding (presently, Rein & Fielding), a major contributor to the Bush-Cheney presidential campaigns, and the law firm which successfully won two separate federal court cases for Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, whereby the federal ruling allows Fox to fictionalize the news. (Many may ask, “When has Fox not fictionalized the news?”)
To repeat: two separate federal court rulings establishing the legality of Fox News to fictionalize the news; equally important, a significant portion of the corporate membership of the NAB filed an amicus curiae brief (“friend of the court” brief) on behalf of Fox --- that is, they were supporting the right of Fox, and any other news station, to fictionalize the news!
A senior (married) partner at Wiley, Rein & Fielding was rumored to be having an affair with an attractive young female attorney at the firm, who tragically died aboard one of the four airliners involved on 9/11. Also tragically, the third wife of the Solicitor General at that time, Ted Olson, also died aboard the same flight. Tragic, yet some might suggest convenient for the senior partner and the Solicitor General who, after the insurance settlement, quickly moved on to wife number four, while the senior partner no longer had to worry about divorce from his very wealthy wife. (Ted Olson was last seen prepping Paul Ryan for his VP debate, and before that Olson successfully litigated the Citizens United case before the US Supreme Court.)
The legal counsel at the NAB, who could also be described as a legal lobbyist, as she filed the legal actions and lawsuits, was for at least thirty years, beginning in 1980, one Valerie Schulte.
Ms. Schulte, a graduate of George Washington law school, matriculated as an undergrad at the University of California where the only unusual event in her life was her most bizarre appearance as the mystery witness at the Robert F. Kennedy assassination trial --- the trial of Sirhan Sirhan.
Over eleven eyewitnesses, ranging in ages from fourteen to a couple in their seventies, identified a mysterious woman in a polka dot dress, described as an olive-skinned brunette in her late twenties or early thirties, who spoke with a foreign accent.
The mystery woman the police brought forward as their witness? Valerie Schulte, a fair complected, petite blonde 20-year-old student from UC, who at the time of the assassination was supposed to have her leg in a full cast and used crutches to get around. (She had a photo of herself back then.)
Nobody recalled seeing Ms. Schulte at the scene of the assassination that night?
What never came out during that travesty of a trial were some curious facts from Ms. Schulte
There's these little tiny critters called electrons, right?
And these tiny boogers, these electrons, go through these here digital circuits, also quite tiny, and their movement at that micron level eventually wears the holy hell out of those pathways they travel, causing pitted chips at the micron level --- easily observable with a high-powered electron microscope and other instruments.
I guess they don't teach science in them thar schools anymore, huh?????
Through a closely held equity fund called Solamere, Mitt Romney and his wife, son and brother are major investors in an investment firm called H.I.G. Capital. H.I.G. in turn holds a majority share and three out of five board members in Hart Intercivic, a company that owns the notoriously faulty electronic voting machines that will count the ballots in swing state Ohio November 7. Hart machines will also be used elsewhere in the United States.
Ivan G. Seidenberg, Chairman, Chairman & CEO, Verizon Communications
Randall L. Stephenson, At-large member, Chairman & CEO, AT&T Inc.
Jeffrey R. Immelt (Jeff), At-large member, Chairman & CEO, General Electric Company
Interestingly, Tim Wu, in his most excellent book, Master Switch, explains how the original AT&T has recombined to its original corporate form (only bigger and more powerful with all the acquisitions when it was ostensibly "broken up"). The one supposed exception is Verizon, but following the circuitous ownership of Verizon through many, many subsequent points of ownership, one finds the majority owner turns out to be GE, which was owned by the original owners of AT&T (Rockefeller & Morgan) --- so who is really the owner of the entire shebang???? [probably still Morgan and Rockefeller families]
....if he's truly "gifted" then he would already be programming....sounds like another wishful thinker --- say, are you one of those undecided jackh....I mean, voters, they are hosting at the Presidential Town Hall????
Slashdot Mirror
The geotechnical and engineering knowledge has been known for quite some time --- getting the super-rich jackholes like Bloomberg and his cronies to "allow" it to be put in place is another story . ....... (that's called history).
