SONY WILL DELAY FILM ABOUT RAID ON BIN LADEN HIDEOUT TO AFTER 2012 ELECTION

Remember the news about the Kathryn Bigelow project that was going to be released circa the election, which only made it sound like politicization? Well, now it looks like Sony has wised up, and will release the movie at least a month after the election.

Well, that's good to know that they won't be turning this into a politicized affair. Maybe they should consider postponing it a little more to give time for better scriptwriting research. In any case, it's a project that should definitely go ahead for the subject matter, which is very important.

PEW POLL REVEALS CORE PROBLEM AFFLICTING THE WEST: MOST EUROPEANS NOW FAVOR A NANNYSTATE

THIS IS THE RESULT OF 5 DECADES OF LEFTIST CONTROL OVER THE MEDIA AND THE ACADEMY:

THE ANTIDOTE IS GETTING THESE BRAINWASHED FOLKS TO REALIZE THAT THE GLOBAL CURRENT SOVEREIGN DEBT CRISIS IS A DIRECT RESULT OF SOCIALIST/NANNYSTATE POLICIES -

AND THE ONLY WAY TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVES IS TO SHUTDOWN THE SOCIALIST STATE AND HAVE A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM.

LEADER OF GREECE'S CONSERVATIVE PARTY REFUSES TO SURRENDER LIBERTY TO EUSSR APPARATCHIKS

Greece's creditors failed on Saturday to persuade the leader of the main conservative party to drop his refusal to sign a pledge that he will back austerity measures under a bailout deal aimed at saving the country from financial ruin.

Antonis Samaras, leader of New Democracy, one of three parties in a new national unity coalition struggling to avert a disastrous default, says there is no need to provide a written guarantee because his word can be trusted.

But international lenders, weary of Greece's failure to deliver on fiscal targets during two years of financial crisis, insist on the written statement, fearing its politicians may otherwise try to wriggle out of their commitments, especially with an election likely in February.

Representatives of the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund -- the "troika" which monitors Greek compliance with its rescue deals -- discussed the issue with Samaras in Athens on Saturday.

DISCUSSED!?

THIS IS BASICALLY WHAT THE NON-ELECTED PINKO EUSSR 'TROIKA" TOLD THE GREEKS: "YOUR ECONOMY WOULD BE A TERRIBLE THING TO LOSE."

GREEKS HAVE TO REALIZE THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY LOST THEIR ECONOMY.

THEY SHOULD NOT ALSO SURRENDER THEIR LIBERTY.

THE GREEKS NEED TO WITHDRAW FROM THE EU AND THE EURO IF THEY WANT TO BE FREE.

THEY NEED THE DRACHMA, A GREEK CENTRAL BANK - AND ELECTIONS, NOT ORDERS FROM UN-ELECTED EUSSR APPARATCHIKS IN BRUSSELS.

THANKS OBAMA: 1/3 of Americans are poor or near-poor

THIS IS WHY THEY CALL SOCIALISM THE ROAD TO SERFDOM:

100 million people — one in three Americans — either in poverty or in the fretful zone just above it.

THIS NUMBER REFLECTS THE PEOPLE WHO WORK HARD BUT LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK.

REDISTRIBUTING THE NET GAINS OF THE FEW CAN'T MAKE THE MASSES RICHER.

THE ONLY WAY POOR PEOPLE CAN PROSPER IS THROUGH THE FREE MARKET.

ONLY ECONOMIC GROWTH CAN LIFT THESE PEOPLE INTO THE MIDDLE CLASS.

AND HIGHER TAXES, MORE REGULATIONS, AND HIGHER ENERGY COSTS WILL HAVE THE OPPOSITE EFFECT.

IOW: IF YOU ANT TO MAKE POVERTY HISTORY, THEN YOU HAVE TO MA R SOCIALISM HISTORY.

IF SOCIALISM WORKED, THEN WE'D ALL BE SPEAKING RUSSIAN

NATIONAL SOCIALISM, INTERNATIONAL SOCIALISM, MARXISM, LENINISM, MAOISM, FASCISM, STALIN-ISM, COLLECTIVISM, COMMUNISM, REDISTRIBUTIONISM, ECONOMIC EGALITARIANISM, SYNDICALISM, CORPORATISM - THEY ALL ALWAYS FAIL.

THAT'S BECAUSE PROSPERITY IS A BY-PRODUCT OF LIBERTY.

AND BECAUSE WE ARE BORN INNATELY FREE AND DESIRE PERSONAL AUTONOMY - AND, IF WE MATURE INTO NORMAL ADULTS, WE ATTAIN INDEPENDENCE.

THAT COLLECTIVISM IS ALWAYS ULTIMATELY DEFEATED BY INDIVIDUALISM IS THE CHIEF REASON OBAMA'S POLICIES ARE ALSO DOOMED TO FAIL.

IT IS NOT BECAUSE HE IS EVIL - (THOUGH HIS EGOMANIA, LAZINESS, INCOMPETENCE AND CORRUPTION DO MAKE IT WORSE).

WHAT'S SAD IS HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE MADE TO SUFFER UNTIL THE UTOPIANIST FOLLIES OF SOCIALISTS ARE OVERTHROWN.

BY DEFEATING OBAMA IN 2012, WE CAN LIMIT THE SUFFERING OBAMA'S POLICIES WILL OTHERWISE INFLICT.

UN-FUHREEEEEEKIN-REAL: SYRIA APPOINTED ARAB MEMBER OF THE UNESCO COMMITTEE ON HUMAN RIGHTS

IF THIS DOESN'T CONVINCE YOU THAT THE UN IS A CESSPOOL OF EVIL THAN NOTHING WILL:

The Israeli newspaper Maariv reported yesterday that the UNESCO committee on human rights had accepted Syria as a member:

A short time after UNESCO, the UN's organization for education and science, accepted the Palestinian Authority as a full member despite strong U.S. and Israeli opposition, it is now Syria's turn to receive a present from the organization.
On Wednesday, the dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad was chosen to be the Arab representative on the UNESCO committee the deals with issues relating to the implementation of human rights.

WE SHOULD WITHDRAW FROM THE UN AND KICK THEM OUT OF THE USA.

THEN START AN GLOBAL ORGANIZATION OF DEMOCRACIES - ACRONYM: GOOD.

OPERATION CHAOS - PART 2: CAN SOROS AND OBAMA MAKE RON PAUL THE GOP NOMINEE?

IF PAUL WINS THE IOWA CAUCUS AND NH, THEN MIGHT HE BE ABLE TO WIN THE GOP NOMINATION?

MAYBE. AT THE VERY LEAST IT WOULD THROW THE GOP INTO CHAOS.

THAT'S WHY I THINK THAT SOROS AND HIS MINIONS HAVE AN OPERATION CHAOS OF THEIR OWN TO ACHIEVE JUST THIS.

WHAT'S OPERATION CHAOS? HERE:

Operation Chaos

In late February 2008, Limbaugh announced "Operation Chaos," a political call to action with the initial plan to have voters of the Republican Party temporarily cross over to vote in the Democratic primary and vote for Hillary Clinton, who at the time was in the midst of losing eleven straight primary contests to Barack Obama. Limbaugh has also cited the open primary process in the early primary states of New Hampshire and South Carolina, which allowed independent voters to cross over into the Republican primaries to choose John McCain over more conservative candidates (such as Fred Thompson), as an inspiration.

IF RON PAUL DOES REALLY REALLY WELL, AND IF THE NOMINATION WAS DENIED HIM BY MITT AND THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT, THEN WOULD HE THEN RUN ON A THIRD PARTY LINE - AND HAND OBAMA THE KEYS TO THE WHITE HOUSE?

MAYBE.

I HAVE ARGUED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THAT THIS IS OBAMA'S BEST SHOT AT RE-ELECTION.

Re-Test Confirms Neutrinos Can Go Faster Than Light: Astute Bloggers Solves The "Faster Than Light" Problem

Re-Test Confirms Neutrinos Can Go Faster Than Light!?

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

The answer is simple: the speed of light is not perfectly constant but goes up and down a little - perhaps as little as 60 billionths of a second.

Light's speed as a fixed constant is a need/artifact of science/engineering - actually agreed to by convention - and not the way the universe operates. In the real world there's a little flux.

Here's the news:

BBC

The team which found that neutrinos may travel faster than light has carried out an improved version of their experiment - and confirmed the result.

If confirmed by other experiments, the find could undermine one of the basic principles of modern physics.

Critics of the first report in September had said that the long bunches of neutrinos (tiny particles) used could introduce an error into the test.

The new work used much shorter bunches.

It has been posted to the Arxiv repository and submitted to the Journal of High Energy Physics, but has not yet been reviewed by the scientific community.

The experiments have been carried out by the Opera collaboration - short for Oscillation Project with Emulsion (T)racking Apparatus.

It hinges on sending bunches of neutrinos created at the Cern facility (actually produced as decays within a long bunch of protons produced at Cern) through 730km (454 miles) of rock to a giant detector at the INFN-Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy.

The initial series of experiments, comprising 15,000 separate measurements spread out over three years, found that the neutrinos arrived 60 billionths of a second faster than light would have, travelling unimpeded over the same distance.

The idea that nothing can exceed the speed of light in a vacuum forms a cornerstone in physics - first laid out by James Clerk Maxwell and later incorporated into Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity.

Timing is everything

Faster than Light.

UH-OH: INTER-BANK LENDING IN EUROPE IS FREEZING-UP AGAIN - JUST LIKE BEFORE THE CRASH...

Fear over European banks' exposure to risky government debt stalked markets and harried bank executives on Friday, as unsecured lending between banks evaporated and the cost of secured loans rose.

Dwindling trust between the banks is forcing them to rely more and more heavily on the European Central Bank (ECB) to fund their activities, which in turn is spooking investors concerned about the health of the countries funding the ECB.

THIS IS VERY VERY VERY BAD. STAY TUNED...

THE WEEKLY "SAVE THE EURO" SHAM: THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS SCOOPS WR MEAD AND INSTAPUNDIT BY THREE WEEKS

WM READ TODAY VIA GLENN:

WALTER RUSSELL MEAD: The Culture War Over Europe’s Money. “The European crisis repeats the same pattern endlessly. Bad news sinks markets, ultimately accelerating into a panicky wave of liquidation. European leaders convene, deliberate and emerge with what they say is a ‘fix.’ Markets leap in joy, until investors gradually read the small print and discover that the fix is a fudge and the core problems remain. Then the bad news starts up again and the markets sink. Repeat. Endlessly. That seems to be Europe’s core strategy for coping with the greatest challenge since World War II. This week we see the cycle at work again.”

WHO STUDIES THE MOST IN COLLEGE?

Grouping students into seven academic disciplines, the study shows wide differences in the number of hours they put into schoolwork outside the classroom. Among students concentrating in engineering, 42 percent say they spend at least 20 hours per week on such study, well ahead of any other group.

They are followed, in descending order, by students studying physical sciences, biological sciences, arts and humanities, education and social sciences.

Business majors ranked last, with 19 percent saying they spend 20 hours or more each week on schoolwork.

As the hours spent studying decline, the hours given to other duties increase.

Business majors spend the most time at paying jobs, averaging 16 hours a week, while engineering students spend the least, 9 hours. Education and business majors also have the heaviest family responsibilities.

IF YOU ADD THE STUDY HOURS AND THE WORK HOURS FOR BUSINESS STUDENTS, THEY ARE AT THE TOP.

AND SINCE THEY LEARN ABOUT BUSINESS ON THE JOB, I THINK THIS IS FAIR.

MUST SEE TV: RICHIE RICH FOLKS WHO WANT HIGHER TAX RATES DECLINE TO SEND MONEY VOLUNTARILY TO THE TREASURY

HERE'S ANOTHER WAY TO BUG THE CRAP OUT OF THESE PHONIES (SOMETHING I POSTED ALMOST 4 YEARS AGO):

"CHECK THIS BOX IF YOU WISH TO PAY AT THE HIGHER, DEMOCRAT TAX RATE"

Democrats want rich people to pay higher income tax rates than they do now.

Some rich libs agree - Warren Buffet for instance. And Teddy Jo Kennedy.

And so these rich socialistic libs are campaigning for higher taxes: they want the tax rates on the wealthiest American to return to Clintonian/pre-Dubya levels.

Here's an idea: why not put a new check-box at the bottom of the tax form which would read like this: "Check here if you wish to pay at the higher Clinton tax rate."

Or as Bush said tonight: "Others have said they would personally be happy to pay higher taxes. I welcome their enthusiasm, and I am pleased to report that the IRS accepts both checks and money orders."

NOTHING stops Buffet from writing Uncle Sam a bigger check.

The fact that he hasn't chosen to pay at the old rates proves that he and his comrades are full of s*it.

THE OWS VERSUS THE TEA PARTY AND COGNITIVE DISSONANCE

• IF YOU WERE AN EMPLOYER WITH A JOB OPENING, THEN WHO WOULD YOU HIRE - AN OWS'ER OR A TEA PARTIER?

• IF YOU OWNED A CAMP-GROUND, WHO WOULD YOU RATHER CAMPED THERE - AN OWS'ER OR A TEA PARTIER?

• IF YOU RAN A CONVENTION CENTER, WHO WOULD YOU RATHER BOOK FOR A WEEK OF MEETINGS AND A RALLY - THE OWS FOLKS OR TEA PARTIERS?

• IF YOU WERE BANK OFFICER, WHO WOULD YOU RATHER LOAN MONEY TO - AN OWS'ER OR A TEA PARTIER?

• IF YOU WERE A PARENT, WHO WOULD YOU RATHER YOUR TEENAGE DAUGHTER SPEND A WEEKEND WITH, OWS'ERS OR TEA PARTIERS?

OKAY.

NOW.

IF YOU WERE A POLITICIAN, WHO WOULD YOU RATHER STAND WITH?

I CAN SEE WHY OBAMA STANDS WITH THE OWS:

THEY ARE HIS KINDRED SPIRITS:

POSTMODERN LEFTISTS COMMITTED TO TRANSFORMING AMERICA INTO A SOCIALIST COUNTRY.

BUT WHY ARE SO MANY OTHER DEMOCRATS DEFENDING THESE LEFT-WING PARASITES AND MISFITS?

THEY ARE DRIVEN TO SUPPORT THE OWS'ERS BECAUSE THEY HAVE RUN OUT OF EXCUSES AND - LIKE THE OWS'ERS - THEIR COGNITIVE DISSONANCE IS EXPRESSING ITSELF AS AN ANGRY DESTRUCTIVE ATTACK ON THE FORCES AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPOSED THEM AND THEIR IDEOLOGY FOR WHAT IT IS:

AN IMMORAL AND INEFFECTIVE IDEOLOGY WHICH HAS RUINED EVERY SOCIETY IT HAS EVER DOMINATED.

THEY SEE WHAT IT'S DONE TO THE USA AND ILLINOIS AND CALIFORNIA AND RHODE ISLAND AND GREECE AND IRELAND AND SPAIN AND ITALY AND THE USSR AND RED CHINA AND ZIMBABWE AND CUBA AND NORTH KOREA (PARTIAL LISTING!) AND THEY CAN'T HELP REALIZING ON A VERY DEEP LEVEL THAT:

SOCIALISM IS JUST ANOTHER PROPHECY THAT HAS FAILED.

EVEN OBAMA'S STEALTH SOCIALISM HAS FAILED.

THAT DEEP REALIZATION CONFLICTS WITH THEIR DEEPLY HELD BELIEF IN SOCIALISM AND THIS CREATES A COGNITIVE DISSONANCE.

THIS DISSONANCE IS EXPRESSED AS A DESTRUCTIVE ANGER.

IT WHICH MAKES THEM FEEL LIKE THEY'D RATHER OUR WHOLE DANG SOCIETY WAS DESTROYED, THEN ADMIT THEY WERE WRONG AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS AND SEE THE LIGHT.

HOW DO WE CONVERT THEM?

WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO SHINE A LIGHT ON LEFTISM. A BRIGHT LIGHT. A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT.

THE ALLEGED ASSASSIN AND OBAMA'S RUTHLESS APPEAL TO CLASS WARFARE: IF YOU SOW THE WIND, THEN YOU WILL REAP THE WHIRLWIND

THE TEA PARTY WAS RUTHLESSLY AND MENDACIOUSLY ACCUSED OF BEING RACIST AND VIOLENT BY THE LEFT AND THE MEDIA - AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY THEY NOW DOMINATE.

AND NOW, THE SAME FOLKS ARE IGNORING THE ANTI-SEMITIC AND VIOLENT OWS MOVEMENT - A MOVEMENT WHICH THEY INCITED AND CONTINUE TO TRY TO EXPLOIT.

WHAT'S THE RESULT?

THE WILDFIRE - OR PRAIRIE FIRE - THEY HAVE STOKED IS BEGINNING TO GET OUT-OF-CONTROL. AND ONE OF THE OWS TYPES ALLEGEDLY TRIED TO ASSASSINATE OBAMA.

YUP: OBAMA IS REAPING WHAT HE SOWED:

HOSEA:

For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: the stalk has no bud: it shall yield no meal: if so be it does yield, the aliens shall swallow it up.

Proverbs 22:8

He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.

Nahum 1:3

The LORD is slow to anger and great in power; the LORD will not leave the guilty unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet.

Matthew 3:12

His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

Isaiah 41:16

You will toss them into the air, and the wind will blow them all away; a whirlwind will scatter them. Then you will rejoice in the LORD. You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.

YEATS:

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
